Thank you.

Howdy there, partners.

Howdy. How you doing?

Ah, the smell of fast food on the desert air.

The perfume of America.

Hey, are you British or something?

Something, that's me, definitely.

I was passing and I got the fancies. A bowl of chili.

The sort you only ever got in an American diner before 1962.

I'm the doctor, by the way.

I'm Cassie. This is Jimmy Stockingwolf.

Ooh.

Where did you get that?

Supposed to be from the saucer crash five years back. You know, like that

Roswell thing over in New Mexico?

My mom, she used to run this place, thought it would bring in the tourists.

Like they don't know a piece of junk when they see it.

Ooh! Sorry.

What did you just do, man?

I'm afraid this isn't quite a piece of junk.

It has been activated.

Are you saying this really did come from a flying saucer? Well, a flying saucer,

maybe. They were quite fashionable in the 50s. A bit like bobby socks and hair

cream. I told you. I told you there was something going on around here.

What do you mean?

Jimmy works out at the Broken Cay Ranch. Says there is a space monster eating the

cattle. I told him it's a cougar. No cougar did what I saw.

I left those tracks.

Oh, oh, hello.

I'll take the ionic fusion bar.

The come again?

He means your piece of junk.

No way, it doesn't belong to you. Not such a good idea to argue. Hello, I'm

the doctor.

Give it to me.

Didn't you hear what the lady said?

That's definitely not a good idea.

Okay,

time to go.

Now, what was that about a monster?

What kind of cougar makes a track like that?

No cougar.

No animal. This was something big.

Very big. Something powerful.

Something that isn't from around here.

Viperox battle drone.

Hello!

Try not to do that! Apart from being one of the most vicious killers in the

cosmos, the Viperox have very sensitive ears!

Thank you. Not a good idea to aggravate him.

He doesn't look aggravated to me, Doc.

He looks hungry.

Doctor, not Doc.

And if he was hungry, he'd be picking bits of cowboy boots and bobby socks off

his mandibles by now.

So if he ain't gonna eat us, what is he gonna do?

It's a Viperox Battle Drone, what it doesn't use for food, it uses for target

practice.

Our orders are to take you with us. Whose orders are those, then? Colonel

Stark, sir.

Colonel Stark?

Then who's that, then?

Commanding Officer, Operation Fallen Angel. Groom Lake Army Air Base.

What?

You mean Area 51.

Dreamland? Oh, I've always wanted to go there. Doctor, no.

People that go there are civilians. They never come back.

I've heard all kinds of things about that place. None of it's good.

They say they've got aliens there from the Roswell crash.

I know.

I've always wanted to take a peek.

Take me to your leader.

Allons-y.

Dreamland. The United States' most secret base.

It doesn't appear on any map, and the government won't admit it exists until

1994. What did you say?

Um... Ah, never mind.

Where are they taking us?

I don't know.

But I don't think Colonel Stark has a penthouse apartment.

So what happens now?

Nothing good.

Oh, come on. I thought the 50s were supposed to be a time for optimism.

I mean, you think you're going to have flying cars in another ten years? Yeah,

sure, if the Reds don't nuke us first.

The Reds? Manchester United?

Oh, the Russians! Soviet Union.

I wouldn't worry about them. They're as scared of a nuclear war as you are.

I hear you people had some trouble.

Ah, Colonel Stark, I presume. Hello, I'm the Doctor.

And I think you may have a serious infestation problem.

We have the situation in hand.

So what are you going to do about it?

You don't have to worry, ma'am.

Oh, and why's that?

Because you're going to forget everything you've seen.

You're going to forget everything.

No, Colonel. Colonel, you're making a mistake.

Soldiers, take him to the lab.

Prepare them for the mind wipe.

What are they going to do to us?

From the look of this chamber, use some sort of amnesia gas. So we forget

everything about that Viperox bug thing?

Maybe that isn't so bad.

Trouble is, no one really perfects a targeted amnesia drug for another 50

years. The sort of thing Colonel Stark has in his medicine cabinet won't just

wipe out the last few hours.

He'll forget everything.

They can't do this. We're U.S. citizens.

Yeah, Cassie, and they're the army.

They can do whatever they want.

They've been doing it ever since the Bear River Massacre.

Oh, sorry, I can't salute, but I seem to be strapped to a table.

The gas can have side effects.

The straps are for your own safety.

Very thoughtful, but have you considered that you've got dangerous ten-foot-tall

aliens out in the desert?

And believe me, Colonel, where there's one Viperox, there's at least a thousand

more.

You know a great deal, Doctor.

More than is good for you.

But I'm going to fix that.

help me I'm gonna tell the president little lady in ten minutes you won't

know who the president is you won't know who you are

try

to hold your breath I just need a few more seconds

How did you do that?

Little trick I learned off Houdini.

Great, but we're still trapped.

I love 1958.

No one's seen Die Hard.

Or Alien.

Or Die Hard 2.

Or Aliens.

Or Die Hard 3.

Doc, what are you talking about?

A ventilation shaft.

Doctor, are you sure there's a way out of here? Of course there's a way out.

There always is.

Apart from in Star Wars, of course. Hey, Doc.

Are you ever going to start making sense? Are you going to stop calling me

Doc? I'm the Doctor, all right? And you're not Bugs Bunny.

Hey.

Why are we going that way?

I mean, who gave you the stripes?

You're not even American.

Well, come to that, I'm not even human.

But someone just noticed we've escaped, so whichever way you're running, I'd

start now.

now that way there's no way through here

Did you mean what you said back there? You're not human.

Well, human, Time Lord.

It's all just an accident of dimensional geography when you get down to it.

I wonder what's behind there.

Now that is an alien.

The question is, why are they keeping her a prisoner?

What if there are more soldiers waiting for us up top?

Charm offensive.

What's that mean?

It means you put your hands up and smile.

You have a problem, Colonel?

Nothing we can't handle.

I warn you, Colonel.

Fail me.

And your world will pay the price.

Don't let them get away again.

And you.

Keep your... soldiers off the planes, Lord Aslok. I don't need this getting

any more complicated.

Viperocs are not accustomed to taking orders from lesser species, Colonel.

Or to their mistakes.

See to it that you do not let us down.

I cannot be seeing that.

A real live flying saucer.

Yeah.

Fancy taking her for a spin.

really fly this? Well, sort of. Stark scientists have retro-engineered it,

probably based on their prisoner's ship.

They've got a couple of systems the wrong way around, but we're getting

there.

Left is right and up is down. No problem, no problem.

What did you do that time? It wasn't me.

We've got company. Hang on!

Those red lights don't look good. Red lights never are.

I wonder if parachutes came as standard or an added option.

Return to base.

Command, I want a team out there on the double.

It's going to be dark soon, and whoever the doctor is, I want to know how he can

escape in a spaceship the U.S. Army hasn't figured out how to fly yet.

Perhaps this doctor is more than he appears.

Solitude. Well, it's certainly quiet and lonely.

It was a mining town a century back.

No one here now but the ghosts.

Nice place, Jimmy.

Have you got a match?

Sure. Here.

So what's going on, Doctor? If the military know about these alien things,

how come we're the enemy?

I don't know, but I intend to find out.

Tomorrow, I'm going back to Dreamland.

What was that?

From what I said, the Viparox have a heightened sense of hearing.

Is Jimmy gonna be alright?

If the Viparox had wanted to kill him, it would have done it back at Solitude.

What are you gonna do with me, you big ugly garbage bugs?

Be careful, human.

I am Aslok, Lord Knight of the Imperial Viparox Warhorde.

Consider who seems in more danger of being crushed underfoot.

You're never going to take over Earth!

The military will blast you into bug bits!

What do you think the Empire of the Phycarops could possibly want with this

termite ball?

Who is this man you call the Doctor?

Oh, now, that would be me.

Ah.

I've got a few things I'd like to ask you as it happens. The most obvious

being, if you're not here to invade it, what on earth are you doing here?

You are not of this world.

I hear two hearts beating.

Then note their rhythm.

I'm not scared of you.

And whatever you're doing on Earth, I won't let you hurt its people.

We seek only an enemy of our kind.

Oh? And who's that then?

do that for it's called escaping doctor i was that close to discovering what's

going on here jimmy

oh

this isn't good doc

tell me this isn't an egg the viper ox never bring an army with them they land

go underground

hatch an army, then who's late?

I don't think she's amused I've had this effect on royalty.

Run!

Must have found her way into an old mine.

They're coming.

Get in the truck.

But for a while, now all we have to do is get off.

Good morning, Doctor.

Hello again.

I don't think we got properly introduced back at the diner. You are?

Mr. Dread.

These are my associates.

No, no, let me guess. Mr. Fear, Mr. Terror, and Mr. Apprehension.

The Alliance of Shades mop-up teams never were much good at mingling.

You know these guys?

Sort of.

The U.S. government aren't the only people that want to keep a lid on

aliens. A lot of planets think you're too primitive.

Primitive? We have nuclear missiles.

Yes, primitive and aggressive.

No offense.

None taken.

Anyway, if the Alliance get reports of a spaceship crashing or some show-off

saucer pilot doing loop-the-loops over the White House, they send in these guys

to dispose of the evidence.

And sometimes the eyewitnesses. Only they're not very good.

Where is the ionic fusion bar?

Hmm? Oh, the gizmo from the crashed spacecraft.

Sorry, lost that while we were being attacked by a Viperox battle drone.

Where is it? We haven't got it.

Whoa. Am I seeing this?

Didn't I mention they're robots?

Give it to me.

Or be incinerated.

Don't you think the Alliance of Shades would be more interested in the thousand

Viperox battle drones ready to hatch under our feet than in a piece of

spaceflight hardware?

Tell me where the ionic fusion bar is, and we will deal with the Viperox. What?

You couldn't even keep a lid on flying saucers. You know, in 1972, the Alliance

pulls the plug on the lot of you.

How are you four gonna hold back Lord Aslock and his Viperox hordes?

Unless... Grandpa.

everything then why does that keep happening today dr. Cassian this is my

grandpa night eagle hey that was kind of handy with those bows and arrows yes

straight through the central processor unit one lucky shot I could believe

before you've met men like this before haven't you night eagle we saw the disc

fall from the skies and thought more had come more of whom

Five years ago, we saw his ship crash.

So the ionic fusion thing came from his ship?

How could you keep this secret?

Others searched for him. Men in black suits.

Those who knew swore to tell no one, not even our blood kin, to keep him safe.

It's all right. I'm the doctor.

I can help you.

I want to go home.

I can take you home.

Not without Saruba Verlac.

Who? The other gray alien back at Dreamland. Keep up, Jimmy.

But she wasn't on your ship, was she?

Night Eagle and his men would have saved her, too.

My name is Rhyfesh Mantilax.

Saruba Verlac is my wife.

Her ship was attacked by pirates.

She was an ambassador of my people.

The pirates were paid to ensure she never reached her destination.

She transmitted a distress signal, but by then they were at war.

With the viper ox?

Yes.

They had sabotaged the alliance my wife had tried to negotiate against them.

The war was long and savage.

And I had a duty to my people.

But the torture of watching my species slaughter was nothing to the loss of my

wife. When I could, I came for her.

And let me guess, the military had Sir Ruba Valak, the Roswell crash, so they

were already looking for more spaceships, and they shot you down.

Without provocation.

Forgive them, they're primitive people.

And scare easily.

We've seen your wife.

She's alive.

Tell me they have not harmed her. I think she's all right, and I'm going to

get you both home.

Or at least to whatever might be left after a war with the Vibrox.

No, I don't think you will, Doctor.

Colonel Stark. On behalf of the United States government, thank you for leading

us to this alien.

You just helped me save the world.

For the first time in 900 years, why does that feel like bad news?

I guess they'll try and wipe our memories again.

You'd think Stark could be more forgiving, as accidentally leading him

to Rivesh Mantlax has somehow saved the world, apparently.

Men like Stark don't save worlds.

All they know is destruction.

That's what worries me.

Lord Aslok.

Doctor.

What an unexpected displeasure. What in heck are you doing here?

I see you've met my ally, Lord Aslok.

Colonel, the Viparocks savage and decimate every world they encounter.

They don't have allies.

They kill everything.

But we have a common interest.

Rivesh Mantalax.

Sarupa Velak.

Did he tell you who he was, Doctor?

He's a scientist.

A specialist in genetic warfare.

Do you know what that is?

Yes. Not pleasant.

Ryvash Mantillax had developed a weapon genetically targeted at the Viparox to

wipe us from the universe.

Doesn't sound like such a bad thing.

No, Jimmy, it is.

A very bad thing.

Who's to say one day even the Viparox won't discover a better way to exist?

But I don't get it, Colonel. Why are you in cahoots with the Viper Ox?

The weapon can be modified to destroy our enemies instead.

You mean Russia?

The Reds are sitting on a thousand nukes. And every one of them has Uncle

Sam's name on it. The Russians will never fire them.

They know as well as you that would be the end of the world.

Does President Eisenhower know about this plan?

Heck.

The president doesn't even know aliens exist.

Well, anyway, it's irrelevant as you don't have the weapon.

Do you?

Hey, I thought he blew a gasket.

Oh, that's the trouble with robots. You can never be sure you've shut them down.

Twist a few wires together and they're anybody's. Isn't that right, Lord

Aslock? I retrieved the ionic fusion bar.

Except it's not an ionic fusion bar, is it?

I'd work that much out. Why would the Alliance of Shades be more interested in

ignition systems than a Viperox horde?

Because it's really a weapon?

Cleverly disguised, fooled even me.

And a weapon that could kill billions throughout the universe.

And now, you expect Rivesh Mantillax to reprogram it to wipe out the whole of

Russia? It is the only way to make my kind safe, and he will do it.

He has searched too long for his wife to watch her serve to me for dinner.

Only... If you still have the weapon!

Doctor!

There's nowhere to go.

I'm not going to let you do this, Stark.

If you trigger this weapon, you will kill millions of innocent people.

You're talking like a rat.

And there's only one cure for a communist, and that's a bullet.

Listen to me, Colonel. You cannot trust Lord Aslok.

There's a Vibrox queen giving birth to an army out there.

Once this weapon is reprogrammed, there is nothing to stop them attacking Earth.

A bunch of supersized cockroaches against tanks and bombers?

I'd like to see him try it. Ask Rivesh Mantalax and Sarupa Vallak. Their

technology is a thousand years ahead of Earth.

They couldn't stop the Vibrox. How will you?

Who are you going to be, Colonel?

The man that saves the world or the one who destroys it?

This is Colonel Stark.

Pull back!

You're doing the right thing.

Soldiers, put Lord Aslock under arrest.

He's gone, sir.

Ah, two problems with the Viprox, Colonel.

You can't trust them, and they have very good hearing.

Consider yourself a prisoner of the United States Army. We have laid waste

entire galaxies. The United States and Earth itself will be as dust beneath our

feet. Not if I can help it. Take my advice and go home while you still can.

Because you have the genetic weapon?

Without Rivesh and Antilax, it is useless.

Now we shall tear your world to shreds.

Aslock took out the guards when you escaped.

He attacked him before we could do anything.

And there's nothing I can do.

Can we activate the weapon without him?

Oh, you're all heart, aren't you, Colonel?

No, it's attuned to his DNA. That's why Lord Aslock needed him to reprogram it.

Or, better still, needed him dead.

He has not yet passed.

I can save him.

I need to get to the remains of my ship. The wreckage is stored in the vault.

It's impossible.

You'd better have a good reason why.

Operation Fallen Angel was set up to examine, classify, and detain all alien

life that crashes on Earth.

Something got loose in there.

Majesty, I need warriors.

Tonight we swarm.

The Viperox won't attack until sundown. We've got an hour, Topps. I've got men

laying charges in the old mine.

If we don't kill him, we'll bury him down there. And they'll just dig

themselves out again.

I need that weapon to deal with the Viperox. I need Rivesh Mantillax, and I

need to go into that vault.

We're coming with you.

No. I've got another job for you two.

This might take a while.

What sort of big blue box is he going to leave on the corner of Main Street?

I hope we find whatever it is we're looking for in time, Sir Ugo

Velag. And then you will use the genetic weapon to destroy the Viperox.

To scour them from the cosmos.

Well, it was all that simple.

Did you hear that?

What in tarnation is it?

I don't know.

But look, it's almost sunset.

Keep looking. We have to save your husband.

I'm going to see what's out there.

Oh, dear.

Doctor, I found it!

Unfortunately, so have I.

What is that?

They are Scorpius flies, a billion of them, a giant swarming brain.

If it's a brain, we can communicate.

Yeah, but the Scorpius swarm brain only has one thing on its mind.

Which is?

Well, at this time of day, supper.

Run!

This is your plan? It's in development.

We're getting reports of biprox in a 10 mile radius of the old Solitude Mine.

If your plan is to escape like a snail, how do we see where we're going?

Who needs to see?

Didn't you count your steps on the way in? Eighty-four steps ahead, turn left.

A hundred and two steps, turn right.

Sixty-two steps, and we're at the door.

Always count your steps, Sir Rupert Murdoch. You never know when you might

need to escape in a box.

The whole town.

They just tore it apart.

we got to concentrate on getting this box back to the dock without running

into any more bugs

The bell is the doctor.

Remember, Sir Rubevalak, some men are born great, others have crates thrust

upon them.

Come on, we've got a planet to save.

That doesn't look good.

That doesn't look good at all.

The base.

We'll never get in there. We have to.

Or Earth is finished.

Pull back!

They've taken all but the lowest levels, sir.

Colonel Stark.

So pleasant to see you again.

The soldiers cannot stop the viper rocs. Nothing can.

Oh no!

Just watch me.

Tell me where the weapon is.

It is useless to you with Rivesh Mantilax dead.

Go to hell, you overfed roach. Unless, of course, Rivesh Mantilax survives.

So what's the big deal with the blue box?

Take a look.

Holy smokes.

At ease, Sir Rupert Valak.

Do your stuff.

Oh, my husband.

Sarupa Velak.

Sorry, but we don't have much time. The Viper Ox will be coming through that

door any minute. I need you to activate the genetic device.

Happily. They destroyed our world.

Now to wipe them from the face of creation.

No, we can't do that. I won't allow it. We've got to blow these monsters to

hell. This weapon will destroy the Viparox, not just on Earth, but across

the universe.

No one has the right to destroy an entire species.

Doctor, they destroyed my town.

Please, trust me.

You brought my wife and me back together.

I trust him.

I trust you.

Trigger the device when he dies.

I'm not going to destroy the Viperox Horde.

Believe me, I can't. Because you are weak.

Because you're an evolving species.

One day, something incredible is going to happen. You will change.

Become peace-loving.

This is madness.

And this, Lord Aslock, is my ship.

She might have a few trillion light-years on the clock. Chameleon

circuit doesn't work, and the temporal sat-nav is always on the blink. But, do

you know what?

She has got the meanest sound system in the universe

Go

back to Viperon and

don't even think about coming back your day will come doctor.

Yeah, so they say

There you go, Colonel. Put that somewhere safe. You won't have any more

infestation problems.

Are you sure?

Well, I tweaked the weapon to attack the Viperox nervous system on an ultrasonic

level. Nothing deadly, just really annoying.

The TARDIS was just a big amplifier.

But this will do the trick for you now.

Keep the bugs out of the house by a light year, or your money back.

On behalf of the United States government, Doctor, thank you. No, no,

don't, don't... Yeah, well, like I said, the Viperox are going to change their

ways. I hope you do too, Colonel Stark.

The Russians are nice people.

And so are some aliens.

It doesn't look too bad with the dents knocked out of it, does it?

I guess I'm going to have to trust you people to keep quiet.

Oh, what's that? The Viper Ops smash up your mind wipe chamber?

What about you, Doc?

What now?

I never did get anything to eat. I think I'll grab a takeaway.

Chinese. Ming Dynasty.

Best dim sum this side of infinity.

You ever get the taste for chili again?

It's a date.

Meanwhile, Jimmy, Cassie might need some help cleaning up after the Viper Rocks

hit town.

Why don't you give her a hand?

She's got it.
