00:30Niagara Falls. Is there a better demonstration of the sheer power of nature?
00:43When I first saw this view, I was inspired to build my Niagara generator. And now, these
00:50waters power a city. But, there's so much more in nature that cannot be seen by the
00:57naked eye. Forces invisible to us, which animate the universe. And they were hidden from our
01:03understanding until now. Gentlemen, I, Nikola Tesla, have invited you here to pull back
01:14the curtain. Shall we begin? Observe, ladies and gentlemen. I plan to harness these forces
01:27of nature on a scale never seen before. A world wireless system. A way for each of us
01:38to reach beyond our immediate sphere to every corner of the earth. I only require the small
01:47investment of $50,000. $50,000? A small price to pay to transmit energy through the ether,
01:55but no wires. You mean flying around in the air? Poppycock. They're even more far-fetched
02:00than those Mars stories that we've all been hearing about. I'm sure you gentlemen know
02:03better than to believe everything you read in the Times. Thank you, Miss Garrett, but I did
02:07in fact receive a feeble electrical signal, and I calculate it comes from Mars. But, uh, that's
02:16not the focus of this project. Mr. Tesla, I'm not in the habit of investing in fairy tales.
02:22Day chill. Mr. Brady, sir, please. My work is not a fairy tale.
02:31I promise you, in about a year, my Wardenclyffe project will be as real and functioning as this
02:36fairy generator. Mr. Tesla, we have an emergency.
02:52Oh, dear. How did this happen? You think? Electric shock, miss. What?
02:59One of these machines must have killed him. That's impossible. All the apparatus here is
03:03perfectly safe. Nonetheless, Mr. Tesla will be happy to take a look. After all,
03:09we can't have people thinking there's some deadly flaw in your designs. Can we, sir?
03:15Very well. I work alone.
03:34Ha! Miss Garrett, I've solved the riddle. Of course, there is no flaw with my machinery.
03:44Parts are missing. We have a thief at work. Miss Garrett?
04:03Hello? Anybody there?
04:24Incredible.
04:25What is it? I have no idea.
04:37I thought the foreman went home. Miss Garrett, we need to leave now.
04:56Oh, hi. I don't suppose you've seen anything weird around here?
05:02I'll take that as a yes. Mind if I join you?
05:09It's Mr. Brady. Why would a potential investor be shooting at us?
05:13More urgently, who shot him? Run!
05:18Who are you? Someone with a fast way out of here.
05:25Here we go. Perfect getaway vehicle. Full speed straight to New York.
05:30What did I say? Night train, right on schedule.
05:34Did you find out what was causing this energy thing, then?
05:36No. But I found these two.
05:39Welcome aboard the Oran Express. We travel in style.
05:42This is Graham, Yaz, and Ryan. We were doing the sites when I picked up a funny energy reading.
05:46Thought I'd check it out. Ran into a tiny bit of trouble at the plant.
05:50Nothing to worry about. We've lost them. So, here we are. I'm the doctor, by the way.
05:55Why don't you tell me who you are and who's shooting at you?
05:58Dorothy? Dorothy Skerritt?
06:01I'm Nikola Tesla, and I assure you I have no idea.
06:05Tesla? I knew you looked familiar.
06:07He's only Nikola Tesla. Who?
06:10Nikola Somin. Total genius.
06:12I always wanted to meet you. Shame you're a big, fat liar.
06:16Pardon me. Doctor!
06:19And we're off again. Look out!
06:21Go, go, go! Who's that?
06:26Not fair! Keep going!
06:33Go! No, no, wait. Go on, Ryan!
06:36You've got this!
06:45It's quiet. Why has it gone quiet?
06:55I'll take that. Keep it moving, then.
07:12Missing something.
07:21Come on. First, we'll stick together.
07:24Fire!
07:37Silurian blaster. Nasty, deadly thing.
07:40But here's the funny part. Whatever was firing it wasn't Silurian.
07:43So, Nikola Tesla, why is someone chasing you with an alien gun?
07:47You believe this is alien? Not so fast, you big, fat liar.
07:50Why do you keep saying that? Is she always this impertinent?
07:54First thing I asked you, I said, have you seen anything weird?
07:57And there's one important thing you failed to mention.
07:59See, I started this evening chasing an unusual energy reading.
08:03I followed that signal loud and clear to the Niagara generator.
08:07So why am I still detecting it on board this train with you?
08:12Whatever it is, hand it over.
08:14This is one of the most miraculous things I've seen in my life.
08:17It's a mystery I intend to solve.
08:20And I have no intention of handing it to total strangers.
08:22Strangers who just saved your life.
08:24Whatever you found is putting you in danger.
08:26Yeah, both of you. You all right with that?
08:32I agree with Mr. Tesla. If anyone can make sense of this, it's him.
08:40Well then, if you won't hand it over, you leave us no choice.
08:46We're not letting you out of our sights until we've worked this out.
08:52So where's this lad then?
09:04Now, this is a bit of all I am.
09:06Gilded Age, New York. This is when the modern world begins.
09:10New ideas, new ideas.
09:14New ideas, new technologies, new skyscrapers.
09:18More people getting rich quick and more poor people than ever before.
09:22I always wanted to visit New York, see Times Square.
09:24Yeah, a bit early for that.
09:25Empire State Building?
09:26Not yet.
09:27Central Park?
09:28Yeah, now that has been around for ages.
09:30Can you hear yelling?
09:31No to the death current, no AC!
09:40Who are they?
09:42Protesters.
09:43What are they protesting about?
09:45Me.
09:46There he is!
09:47You have any idea what you're doing?
09:49Shame on you!
09:51He's dangerous!
09:52Go back to Mars!
09:53How many more people have to die before you admit your machines aren't safe?
09:55My inventions never hurt anyone.
09:57Is it true your last invention caused an earthquake?
09:59Those were only mild tremors.
10:00Why are you building weapons on Long Island?
10:03Mr. Tesla isn't building any kind of weapon or going to answer any questions.
10:06Excuse me.
10:07You don't belong in America!
10:12I'm an American citizen!
10:15And you are trespassing in front of my lab.
10:24Me? A lunatic?
10:25They wouldn't recognize genius if it hit them in the face.
10:28You all right?
10:30Oh, absolutely, yeah.
10:32Their opinions do not affect me.
10:37He'll just be a moment.
10:44Why don't you go on through?
10:48Tesla's lab.
10:50This is gonna be something special.
10:57I won't lie, I was expecting more.
11:02Well, let's have a look about.
11:04So, Tesla, has he something to do with the cars, then?
11:07Yeah, well, they're named after him.
11:08He's a famous inventor, isn't he, Doc?
11:11Yeah.
11:13And what did he invent?
11:16Well, he invented the, um...
11:19The whatchamacallit.
11:20Tell them, Doc.
11:22Nikola Tesla dreams up the 20th century before it happens.
11:27Before you have x-rays, Tesla has shadow graphs.
11:30Before you have drones, Tesla has a telescope.
11:33Before you have drones, Tesla has automatons.
11:35Before Marconi gets the patent for radio,
11:38they have to take it from Tesla because he invents it first.
11:42His work on alternating currents helps electrify the world.
11:48He should have been the first billionaire by now
11:50if he hadn't have torn up his contract.
11:52Business isn't his strong point.
11:57Doctor?
11:58I believe he won't ever see again.
12:04This is what you found in the generator?
12:07Giving off all that energy, but why?
12:11Whoa.
12:16You see how it moves independently?
12:18I believe this is something I like to call remote control.
12:21Remote control?
12:22You came up with that?
12:23I believe this is our brain's ability to control the world.
12:26I believe this is operating on a similar principle.
12:29It would just work out its purpose.
12:31I know what it is.
12:34It's an orb of Thassa, but I've no idea what it's doing here.
12:43The Thassa were one of the ancient racers.
12:45Amazing storytellers.
12:46Inventors.
12:47Explorers.
12:49They built these orbs as a way to spread information.
12:52To send out among the stars.
12:54As a way to share their legacy long after they were gone.
12:58Why would someone try to kill us to get their hands on that?
13:02I've no idea.
13:04But maybe I can find out.
13:08I think it's been repurposed.
13:10But I can't work out what it's doing instead.
13:12This is all wrong.
13:14Something this elegant should be giving off this kind of noise.
13:17His energy readings are off the charts.
13:20But that instrument detects energy?
13:22Is it your own design?
13:24I made it.
13:24Mainly out of spoons.
13:26You're an inventor.
13:28I have my moments.
13:29I knew it.
13:31So you can understand how it feels.
13:33You know, when you have an idea and to make it real.
13:36I don't think there's any greater thrill.
13:39I couldn't agree more.
13:43You spoke of aliens.
13:44People who would laugh at the very idea.
13:47But not you.
13:48Well, apparently I'm not like other people.
13:51It can be difficult, you know?
13:53To feel no one else sees the world the way you do.
13:56It's like you're...
13:58Out of place.
14:01Yeah.
14:04I thought things would be different.
14:06You know, when I first arrived in America, I have four cents to my name.
14:10I was robbed at the journey.
14:12But still, I thought this is the beginning.
14:14Here I would prosper.
14:15My ideas would live.
14:16Changing the world takes time.
14:18You have to be patient.
14:20I try.
14:20But you saw them outside.
14:23They talk as if I was dangerous or mad.
14:27So prove them wrong.
14:31Sir, this was just delivered.
14:33It's from Mr. Morgan.
14:36Excellent.
14:39Mr. Morgan is the investor behind my Wardenclyffe project.
14:43With his help, we...
14:53He's pulling the funding.
14:54What?
14:56I can't complete Wardenclyffe without it.
15:00I'm never gonna be able to prove it works.
15:03Please, no.
15:06That was Harold Green.
15:08One of Edison's men.
15:09As in Thomas Edison.
15:11Light bulb guy.
15:11All right.
15:12We all know Edison.
15:13He's Tesla, you've never heard of.
15:15Why? He's literally standing right there.
15:16Yeah, sorry, sir.
15:18Edison, Edison.
15:19Of course it's Edison.
15:20He's plagued me every step of my career.
15:22Edison champions a rival form of electric current to Mr. Tesla's AC.
15:26Direct current.
15:27Of course he would champion something so slow and inefficient.
15:30That man is a liar and a thief.
15:33Are we saying Thomas Edison is after the Orb of Thassar?
15:36Don't be daft.
15:36How's Edison's men gonna get their hands on a Slimurian laser plaster?
15:40Silurian.
15:41Let's go and find out.
15:42You three stay here and guard the Orb.
15:44You two, with me.
15:46Time we paid a visit to Mr. Thomas Edison.
15:49Ladies and gentlemen, AC is the most deadly force known to science.
15:54For the public safety, the Niagara generator should be shut down.
15:59And let me guess, an Edison generator built in its place.
16:03Couldn't have put it better myself.
16:05Thomas Edison, we need to talk.
16:06As I was saying.
16:07We could talk here, but I think you prefer to go somewhere more private.
16:10You want to make an appointment, speak to my secretary.
16:12Alien weapons.
16:14How are you getting your hands on them?
16:16Alien weapons.
16:18You have the wrong inventor, man.
16:20It's Nikola Tesla's been talking to Mars.
16:24I keep my feet on the ground.
16:25So, you don't recognize this?
16:32Let's take this inside.
16:36Whoa, I see some shit out of these girls.
16:38See, this guy I've definitely heard of.
16:40He's gotta be America's most famous inventor.
16:41He's got a gun.
16:42He's got a gun.
16:43He's got a gun.
16:44He's got a gun.
16:44He's got a gun.
16:45He's got a gun.
16:46Here.
16:47Not exactly a shrinking violet, is he?
16:48I mean, he's blasting his name all over the shop.
16:51Talk about tooting your own horn.
16:54I have never seen anything like this in my life.
16:57Is it your design?
16:59Who has the patent?
17:00This isn't a business opportunity.
17:02Someone tried to shoot us with it just before we caught an employee of yours spying on Nikola Tesla.
17:07Someone's trying to steal from him and he seems pretty sure it's you.
17:10Does he now?
17:11Ma'am, I may keep an eye on my rivals, but I do not steal.
17:16I have no need to.
17:18There are a thousand patents in the Edison name.
17:21You might have seen it on the building.
17:22That's not how Tesla sees it.
17:24He's sore about the past.
17:26You know, I gave him a job when he first arrived in this country on the factory floor.
17:31He ended up digging ditches for two bucks a day.
17:34Tesla?
17:36Dapper dude who dresses for the opera.
17:38How did he end up digging a ditch?
17:39He heard me say I'd pay $50,000 to the man who could fix my generator.
17:45He worked on that thing day and night for a year and he did it.
17:51And you being the upstanding businessman paid every last cent, I presume?
17:55I offered him a 10 buck raise.
17:58He quit and chose to dig.
18:00Man just didn't understand the American sense of humor.
18:10I thought you'd have more stuff.
18:21Sketches, blueprints, you know, for all your inventions.
18:26All in here.
18:28Before anything else, I, uh, I build things here.
18:37Tell me about this Wardenclyffe project.
18:40Uh, imagine if, um, wherever you were, you were able to hear music or, uh, the speech
18:51of a great leader or, uh, conjure a map of what lay beyond.
18:56That's what I proposed with Wardenclyffe.
18:58All of human knowledge shared freely.
19:01Now that sounds like the future.
19:04Yeah, yeah.
19:05It will change the world.
19:08Why can't anyone else see that?
19:11There must be someone who'll invest in it.
19:14Well, if there is, I can't find them.
19:16And, uh, without money, I have no power source.
19:19And without power...
19:26Sir, if you'll just permit me to...
19:28No!
19:29No, the grounding coil goes in separately.
19:38I said don't touch!
19:39Sorry.
19:40Really?
19:42Go over there.
20:07No, no, no, no.
20:13Something's wrong.
20:14Oh, I should say.
20:16We've done this dance for long enough.
20:18Now what have you done with my man, huh?
20:22Oh, don't play dumb.
20:24He was keeping tabs on that dog and pony show of Tesla's at Niagara.
20:29Now he's gone quiet.
20:30The very day you show up pointing the finger, huh?
20:35Trust me, Mr. Edison.
20:37We're not the people you should be worried about.
20:39He is.
20:41Behind me!
20:43Harold?
20:43What's the matter with him?
20:45That's not Harold Green.
20:47No human readings.
20:48What is that?
20:49Not possession.
20:50Psionic image cloaking?
20:52Hologram.
20:52What are you talking about?
20:54No punch, Ryan.
20:55Whatever you are, whatever you've come for, nobody else needs to get hurt.
21:05Oh, my God.
21:07No time.
21:08This way.
21:11In here.
21:13Doc, look.
21:19Oh, he's dead.
21:21He's the real Harold Green.
21:23Whatever's chasing us is projecting his image and using it to keep his true self hidden.
21:30You better not be hiding anything.
21:32People have died.
21:33My workers.
21:35All those men worked for me.
21:36They had families.
21:37I had dinner with this guy and his wife last week.
21:40I have to tell her.
21:41Tell the families.
21:42Now, give me the gun.
21:43Definitely not.
21:43We're not shooting it.
21:44We need to contain it, work out what it wants.
21:49This is your chemical lab.
21:51Perfect.
21:53Ammonium nitrate.
21:54They're green stuff.
21:56Where's your zinc?
21:57Zinc?
21:58Have you lost your damn mind?
22:00Oh.
22:01Finally thinking like a scientist.
22:03What is that?
22:06Power waiting to be harnessed.
22:08Your doctor was right.
22:09The orb is emitting huge amounts of energy.
22:12It's pulsing like a siren or radar.
22:17Radar?
22:18Using energy waves to work out what's around you.
22:22It's just a theory.
22:23I've been working on a similar theory myself.
22:26I call it my exploring ray.
22:28It's just a theory.
22:30I've been working on a similar theory myself.
22:33But anyway, the orb is emitting distinct waves of energy.
22:37It's like it's sensing its surroundings.
22:40Or scanning.
22:42Which makes me wonder, what is it looking for?
23:02I don't know where that came from.
23:15How about we try this again?
23:17Who are you?
23:18Show your true form.
23:19What in God's name?
23:33Yaz!
23:34It's not Edison!
23:35I mean, it was.
23:36But it turns out he's aliens too.
23:38They can look like anyone, so don't let anyone in!
23:40Tell Tesla!
23:41Tell Dorothy!
23:42Lock every door!
23:45I'm sorry.
23:47Yaz!
23:48Yaz, are you alright?
23:50You were dead.
23:52We know you want the orb.
23:54Let her go.
23:56Exactly.
23:57You don't have to hurt her.
24:00With your levels of technology,
24:02you must understand there's no need for violence.
24:05We do not come for the orb.
24:09We came for you.
24:12Yaz!
24:37Welcome, Nikola Tesla.
24:42You're alright.
24:51You've probably got questions.
24:53They took them.
24:56Where did they take them?
24:58We know they've got cloaking tech,
25:00but if I rig a bypass...
25:03Luckily, high-speed inventing is one of my specialisms.
25:12It's the first time here.
25:15It can be a lot.
25:16It certainly is a lot.
25:19But you take it in your stride.
25:21Where do you even come from?
25:23Yorkshire, England.
25:25I was at home, you know, normal life.
25:28Work, then boom, the doctor.
25:31Changed my whole life.
25:33I was the same before I met Mr. Tesla.
25:35I wanted my own career, something steady.
25:39Then he showed me all these discoveries that could be made.
25:42But it seemed like impossible things.
25:45And now, something normal, steady.
25:49Doesn't seem so important.
25:52We'll get him back.
25:54She's good at impossible, too.
25:58Bye, then.
26:00On you pop.
26:05This is the most extraordinary thing.
26:08Is it a single machine or some kind of mechanical factory?
26:14Oi, you're in here strictly on the QT, right?
26:18So get those dollar signs out of your eyes,
26:19because this little lot ain't for sale.
26:21Copyright.
26:23Has a British accent, isn't it?
26:24Yes.
26:25Now, there's a country who's never understood business.
26:28Please work.
26:29Have you got something, Doc?
26:34Of course.
26:35That's why they left you behind.
26:37It's been hacked.
26:38It's not broadcasting anymore.
26:40It's receiving.
26:41You mean it's a bugging device?
26:44Thought so.
26:45Moment I saw it.
26:47Exactly.
26:48Repurposed from its original intent.
26:51It's been scanning the Earth since it got here.
26:57And it must have finally found what it's been looking for.
27:05What is this place?
27:06You stand on the friendship of the Scythla, high above your meager city.
27:15You can see your city, but your city cannot see us.
27:23We have been watching, hidden from human eyes, while we searched.
27:28This is an electrical condenser from my generator.
27:31We have gathered supplies.
27:33Now, you will work.
27:36Work on what?
27:37Our ship, our weapons, everything.
27:41They're hiding their real faces behind projections.
27:43They could look like anything, be anywhere.
27:46There's no trail.
27:47If we're looking for a trail to follow, what if Tesla already found it?
27:51But he did.
27:53The Mars signal.
27:56I didn't believe him, not really.
27:58But he records all his observations.
28:01We have to go to Wardenclyffe.
28:06Wow, wow, this is a lot.
28:11Mr. Tesla started transferring all of his work to Wardenclyffe months ago.
28:16He intercepted the Mars signal with this.
28:20He calls it his Tesla scope.
28:21Here are all the readings he took.
28:23They must have increased the cloaking when they realized he'd spotted them.
28:25Hey, don't take your eyes off him, and don't let him touch anything.
28:30We're on Long Island.
28:32This box transported us halfway across New York.
28:36Unbelievable.
28:37Yeah, well, keep it to yourself, or people will say you're as crazy as Tesla.
28:41That, my friend, will never happen.
28:42Yeah, still.
28:43Bet you'd jump at the chance of having him back working for you, wouldn't you?
28:46Yeah, how'd you figure that?
28:48Because I had a supervisor like you at my old depot.
28:51And men like you don't pay a bloke that much attention
28:54unless you think there's a payout coming.
28:57It must be here somewhere.
28:59Ah, I found it.
29:00The signal readout.
29:02Now we're in business.
29:03One of these must be good for getting out of here.
29:06Gotta find a way off the ship.
29:07Well, we're hundreds of feet above New York.
29:09What are you suggesting, to open a door?
29:10I suggest we don't surrender to the giant alien scorpion.
29:15You're right.
29:17I'm sorry.
29:18This is all my fault.
29:19You shouldn't even be here.
29:22Just because you're a genius
29:23doesn't mean you have to figure everything out on your own.
29:26We're in this together.
29:29You have examined the equipment.
29:33Yes.
29:37Yes, I have.
29:39There are more secrets on this ship
29:41than I could discover in a lifetime.
29:43It is a scientist's dream.
29:45Then your work shall begin.
29:47You will prepare us for battle.
29:49No, I won't.
29:55Your work would burn a path across the galaxies.
29:57On Earth, you are nothing.
29:59Perhaps I will achieve nothing.
30:01But if I achieve anything,
30:04it'll be in the name of progress.
30:05And you are not my idea of progress.
30:11Kill the stowaway.
30:16Ah, I knew I had one in my toolbox.
30:18Braxian Bouncer, Mark III.
30:20Found it at a bazaar.
30:22A bit wonky, but I can't take the TARDIS.
30:24This should give us enough power
30:26to transport me, Yaz, and Tesla back here.
30:29But once I'm there,
30:30I can't jump back until it recharges itself.
30:33Which, you know, I'm not worried about.
30:35Definitely.
30:35And you shouldn't be worried about it either.
30:37Not in the least.
30:38This is the price of refusal.
30:41First she dies, then everyone down there.
30:45Stop!
30:46She's my assistant.
30:47I need her.
30:49She's not important.
30:51I'm gonna have to disagree with that.
30:56Nice place you've got here.
30:58Probably.
30:59You're cleaned up a bit.
31:00I mean, I'm messy, but this...
31:03You guys all right?
31:04Better now you're here.
31:06I'm the Doctor.
31:07I don't believe we've met.
31:08You addressed the Queen of the Skiffra.
31:10You dressed us on my ship.
31:12Oh, this is your ship?
31:14Because it looks Venusian to me,
31:16and I'm pretty sure that's a Klendove warp drive.
31:20Is there a single thing on this ship
31:22that you've built yourselves?
31:25This one is clever.
31:27She will assist Tesla.
31:29I've had worse jobs.
31:30Or she will die.
31:35Stolen tech.
31:36Stolen faces.
31:38And now all your stolen gear is breaking down.
31:40And what do you do?
31:42Steal someone else to fix it.
31:44All this killing and looting,
31:45did it never occur to you to try thinking
31:48or building something instead?
31:51Why would we build when all there is is ours to take?
31:55Tesla.
31:57Why Tesla?
31:58Why send the Sphere to track him?
32:01An inventor from 1900.
32:04We require an engineer.
32:11I was talking.
32:15We required an engineer.
32:17Tesla showed superior signs of intelligence.
32:20He discovered our signal.
32:22How did you know that?
32:23He signaled back.
32:27You didn't think to punch him in the eye?
32:29I didn't know it worked.
32:31Seriously?
32:34The Skithra have always taken what we need.
32:37And, Doctor,
32:40I do not see a need for you.
32:46Oh, is that a Delirium resonator?
32:48Is that a Delirium resonator?
32:52Oh, neat.
32:53Can power a starship for months.
32:56You think Tesla's clever,
32:57we make him look like the village idiot.
32:59Smart.
33:00Forward-thinking scorpion queen like yourself.
33:03I wouldn't go killing me and Yaz.
33:05Because Yaz
33:08can tell you
33:11what this is.
33:12It's a camera.
33:13Bingo.
33:19Doctor.
33:19Oh, Yaz.
33:20Mr. Tesla.
33:20Miss Carrot.
33:24Well, I'll be darned.
33:25She actually got you back.
33:27What is he doing here?
33:28Tesla.
33:30Quite a day we're all having.
33:31It's not over yet.
33:32Come on.
33:33This is my private laboratory, Edison.
33:37You have no rights to be here.
33:41What is this?
33:44Where are you all going?
33:48Fantastico.
34:06I couldn't figure it out either.
34:08The internal dimensions transcends the external.
34:11Spot on.
34:13Listen up, Scyther queen.
34:14It's me on behalf of Tesla.
34:17Consider this your official eviction notice.
34:19Get your ship away from Earth right now.
34:22We will take the engineer or this planet shall burn.
34:27Surrender him and your lives may be spared.
34:31You can't have him.
34:33He's with us and we're not going anywhere.
34:36Then we will kill all of you.
34:38He's with us and we're not going anywhere.
34:41Then we will kill all the teeming millions that infect this world.
34:45And you and your friends will die first.
34:48This is the choice you must make.
34:51Give us Tesla or the planet and all who live on it shall die.
34:58It cannot be me or the Earth.
35:03You can't place this burden on me.
35:05Mr. Tesla?
35:14Find Thang.
35:21I've spent my life wondering what might be out there.
35:37Like creatures who would destroy the whole planet just to get their hands on me.
35:44Recognition at last.
35:51You do realize it's killing Edison that they want you and not him?
36:01This place?
36:03Wardenclyffe?
36:07I was so close.
36:09People would finally see what it can do.
36:11What I can do.
36:14But now no one will ever know.
36:16You must all go.
36:18Let them take me.
36:19That's not going to happen.
36:22I have to surrender myself.
36:23There's nothing else to be done.
36:25This is beyond me.
36:26No.
36:30No?
36:31Nikola Tesla, you're going to change the world.
36:37But first, you're going to save it.
36:41Now.
36:42Tell me all about Wardenclyffe.
36:45The tower works by harnessing the electric field of the Earth itself.
36:49Here.
36:50My magnifying transformer pumps millions of volts into this tower.
36:54The current races down through the Earth until it reaches the other side of the planet and
36:58then bounces back.
37:00Then it's channeled into the tower, wave after wave after wave, and up into the air.
37:06My intention was to build a series of these towers transmitting energy throughout the
37:13ether.
37:14A world wireless system.
37:18That's Wi-Fi.
37:19Did Tesla have the idea for Wi-Fi?
37:22But with enough power, it could be used to send a single bolt of lightning high up into
37:28the sky.
37:28Well, if we generate one large wave, it could be used to send a single bolt of lightning
37:33high up into the sky.
37:35If we generate one large enough, it could strike the ship like so.
37:40Yes!
37:41High five.
37:44Too early.
37:45In a pig's eye.
37:48You want to better our lives on a contraption like this, huh?
37:51Some fantastical idea no sane man would ever invest in.
38:01At least I have ideas.
38:03You have filled a factory full of men to do your thinking for you.
38:06Half of your inventions were thought up by other people.
38:09Anyone can have ideas.
38:10I make them happen.
38:12All those men, all those inventions.
38:16I turn them from a sketch into real things people can buy.
38:20That's how you change the world.
38:22You're too blind to see that my factory is the best idea either one of us ever had.
38:27You're too narrow-minded to grasp the genius of my work, and that is why you will never
38:31achieve real greatness.
38:33You're not a man of vision.
38:34You're a man of parts.
38:36Oi, ACDC.
38:38You two might be the greatest minds of the age, but is there any chance you can stop
38:41squabbling while we try and save the planet?
38:44We need to move quickly.
38:45We have to prepare the tower.
38:49Here's what we're going to do.
38:52You and me will finish the tower.
38:54I can extend the TARDIS shields within the boundaries of Ward and Cliff.
39:00That should keep us safe.
39:02For now.
39:04Edison, Yaz, I need you to get people off the streets.
39:07The Scythra are on their way.
39:10Doris E. Graham-Ryan, find anything we can use to defend Ward and Cliff, and be fast.
39:15For all we know, they've already found us.
39:17Please, please, everybody inside.
39:20Please, please move inside.
39:22Everybody inside.
39:23Why have you still been listening to me?
39:24Is it the accident?
39:25Please, it's an emergency.
39:27Please.
39:28Can you go inside?
39:28That fool Tesla is still experimenting with his deadly tower.
39:32We're as good as fried if we stay outside.
39:35He's firing it up right now.
39:37Spread the word.
39:39No one is safe.
39:49Mechanism for photographing thoughts?
39:51No, apparatus for producing ozone.
39:56Prototype death ray?
39:58Yes.
40:12Where is Tesla?
40:22Rick!
40:23Get away from him!
40:24Get down, kid.
40:25Andrew!
40:28Where the hell did he go?
40:31Quick, inside.
40:36When did you get that?
40:37Just be glad I did.
40:44Oh, my dear lord, what is that?
40:51Come on, run!
40:55Oh, my god!
41:19Are you sure this is right?
41:21Tesla said it should be just here.
41:23This tunnel leads us back to Wardenclyffe.
41:25Okay.
41:36Doctor, have company.
41:45Shield's working, then.
41:51Come on, come on!
41:54Come on!
42:00Just in time.
42:01We need to barricade the door now.
42:02Good god.
42:03There's too many of them.
42:04Well, they may have superior numbers, but we have superior minds.
42:07We just have to hold them off.
42:09There are hive species.
42:11So if we take out the queen...
42:13Take out all of them?
42:14Yes, she's still on the ship.
42:15And hopefully we're about to zap her with a lot of Wardenclyffe electricity.
42:19There's a bop.
42:19Small detail.
42:20Once we power up the tower, the TARDIS shields will drop,
42:23but it'll be about 30 seconds before we can blast the ship.
42:26There's not enough juice for both.
42:29What?
42:30What's gonna keep them out, then?
42:34We are.
42:36Don't worry.
42:36This ain't our first rodeo.
42:38We've never been to a rodeo.
42:39You're not helping, Ryan.
42:42Ready?
42:51Go!
43:00It's working.
43:02Tower's charging.
43:05Nearly there.
43:08Get ready out there.
43:09Shields are about to drop.
43:17Shields down.
43:18A few more seconds.
43:19We ain't got a few seconds, Doc.
43:25What?
43:26Signal coming from the skipper ship.
43:40What are they doing?
43:42Why aren't they attacking?
43:44Oh no.
43:46What is it?
43:50What?
43:51Let's see what this thing can do.
43:53Stay out of our land!
43:59We can't blast the ship because the Queen's no longer on it.
44:18This was not the plan.
44:20Was this meant to be your fortress?
44:23And you, its defenders?
44:27What was the plan?
44:29To shiver in the dark until we went away?
44:35Oh, you really are fragile creatures, aren't you?
44:38It's a miracle your world has spun on so long and disturbed.
44:43Now tell me, where is he?
44:48No.
44:49Then which of you would like the privilege of dying first?
44:53Stop!
44:55If you want Tesla, you have to go through me.
44:58Doctor!
45:00Did you really think I'd let you hide away down here, hatching your little plans?
45:05If I'd known we were going to have a royal visit, I'd have put the kettle on.
45:07As Queen, I grant myself the pleasure of killing you in person.
45:13And what are you Queen of, exactly?
45:16A stolen ship and second-hand guns?
45:19A queen of shreds and patches?
45:22You're not a ruler, you're a parasite.
45:24And what are you?
45:26So clever, stealing onto my ship, taking what I claimed as mine.
45:31But where has it got you?
45:34No weapons, no armour, no escape.
45:38Just the desperate hope you might change my mind.
45:41No, we're way past that.
45:43I gave you your chance.
45:45A chance to be like you?
45:46A chance to evolve.
45:48But you were too stupid to take it.
45:51When you die, there'll be nothing left behind.
45:53Just a trail of blood and other people's brilliance.
45:57No one will even know you existed.
46:01It's important you understand, Doctor, that we would have only taken the Engineer.
46:07Now, because of you, I will take everything.
46:11I will overrun this world and pick the bones clean.
46:15Have you ever seen a dead planet?
46:18No.
46:20I've seen more than you can possibly imagine.
46:23And yet you still think I can be fooled by the same trick twice?
46:28Doctor, stay back!
46:33A final weapon for our collection.
46:37And what were you planning to do with this?
46:42Nothing, I just wanted you to take it.
46:49Tesla, now!
46:50Drop the ship!
47:18There you go, kid.
47:29Thank you.
47:38I gotta hand it to you.
47:41You did it.
47:45Come work for me again.
47:48You keep working on this thing, you'll be bankrupt within the year.
47:56Perhaps.
47:57How could I stop now?
48:05You take good care of yourself.
48:07You too.
48:08Was that more or less impossible than your usual day?
48:12Yeah, about average.
48:13You?
48:14Slightly stranger.
48:15Normal would be boring, wouldn't it?
48:21Bye.
48:23Now, this all changes, right?
48:27The protests, the funding.
48:30Tesla's towers just saved the world.
48:31That's got to mean rich and famous.
48:33No.
48:34Nothing's changed.
48:35A few years from now, Wardenclyffe is torn down.
48:39Tesla keeps on inventing, but no money, no fame.
48:43He dies penniless.
48:45History leaves him behind, but his vision of wireless energy, that does happen.
48:49A connected world.
48:51And that idea starts here, with him.
48:53That's not right.
48:55People should know.
48:56Either way, it doesn't change what he's done.
48:58Doctor, you have to let me study that machine of yours.
49:02It is by far the most magnificent invention I've ever seen in my life.
49:06Never mind the TARDIS.
49:09You've got enough magnificent inventions of your own.
49:11Yes.
49:12Yes, you're right.
49:13Yes, you're right.
49:14You're right.
49:15Of course, there's so much to be done.
49:19Thank you.
49:22Thank you all.
49:24Don't give up.
49:25Whatever anyone says.
49:28Well, let them talk.
49:30The present is theirs.
49:32I work for the future.
49:36And the future is mine.
49:43Xiao Wei?
49:46Xiao Wei?
50:13Xiao Wei?
50:22A genuine warning transmission.
50:24Who are you?
50:26The sea is under siege.
50:28Do you trust me, Iris?
50:30Sometimes.
