00:00The very world itself seems sick.
00:27A most ungenial summer.
00:29I've never known air as dank and frigid.
00:33Oh.
00:35Dank and frigid.
00:36What does that remind me of, I wonder?
00:39Oh.
00:41Sleep well, sweet boy.
00:46Perhaps Lord Byron or Dr. Polidori would read to us.
00:52What would Miss Claremont wish to hear?
00:55Something to awaken thrilling horror.
00:59Yes, Mrs. Shelley.
01:02To make us dread to look around.
01:04To curdle the blood and quicken the beatings of the heart.
01:09I have just the thing.
01:20Tales of the dead.
01:30At midnight, we took a torch to the chapel.
01:35With pallid countenance and trembling limbs,
01:38we descended to the vault.
01:42Hildegard's leaden coffin loomed before us.
01:48The count was seized with the sensations of terror.
01:51He opened the coffin with a stifled cry of dread.
01:59And inside, we saw.
02:04I shall send whoever calls away, my lord.
02:07No, Fletcher.
02:09What if it is she?
02:12Hildegard, the Death Bride.
02:15If something infernal is on my doorstep,
02:18I should be the one to go and greet it.
02:20Infernal?
02:22Surely not.
02:25Who is brave enough to come and see?
02:35I'll wager it's Shelley.
02:36Amusing himself with a trick.
02:38Shelley is no one for tricks.
02:41There is nothing to be afraid of.
02:44Ah!
02:53Woo!
02:57Woo!
03:02Woo!
03:11Woo!
03:15Woo!
03:29Good evening.
03:30Not quite the welcome I was hoping for,
03:32but I'll admit, we've looked better.
03:34It's a pleasure to make your acquaintances.
03:37I'm...
03:41Nothing?
03:43Weird.
03:44Might need a blow-dry.
03:46I've got a bit caught in the downpour.
03:48Yes, because it is a truth universally acknowledged...
03:51Wrong writer!
03:54...that one's driver will pull up one's carriage
03:57imprudently too far from whence one is going.
04:01Can we please just come in before we drown to death?
04:04Please?
04:06Oh!
04:09Ah!
04:16One hour, tops.
04:18Plus drying time.
04:19OK, so there was a spot of rain,
04:21and gale-force winds,
04:22and a super-long walk by got us here, didn't I?
04:24And Mary, waltz-and-crap-God-wind-soon-to-be-Shelley,
04:27screamed in your face.
04:28Quality historical experience, that.
04:30Gold.
04:31Gold on the night that spurred Frankenstein.
04:35If you'd be so kind.
04:38Blimey.
04:40Excuse me, Yas, I was very clear about the rules.
04:42Nobody mention Frankenstein and don't interfere.
04:45And nobody snog Byron.
04:48In, out, soak up the atmosphere.
04:50Witness some of the most enlightened minds of a generation
04:54at the pinnacle of the absolute zenith of their creativity.
05:01Ah!
05:06What would you all care to drink?
05:08We shall teach them the dance.
05:19I detest all gossip, you understand?
05:22Utterly abhorrent.
05:24Mary goes by Mrs. Shelley,
05:26except she and Percy are not married.
05:28It really is quite the scandal.
05:30Lord Byron is separated from his wife.
05:32The rumours are so disastrous he can't return to England.
05:36Now he keeps company with Mary's stepsister, Miss Clarewater.
05:40We have an exceptionally strong attachment.
05:43I mean, she scrambled 500 miles from England to come and see me here.
05:48Couldn't exactly turn her away.
05:51Please, excuse me, fair lady.
05:54I must pop in to the little boy's room.
05:58So, that was marvellous.
06:01Is anyone up for, I don't know, a spitball in here?
06:04How about writing the most gruesome,
06:07spine-chilling ghost story of all time?
06:12Dormez bien, Monsieur William.
06:27You know, a bit of blood and guts,
06:29throwing a corpse for good measure.
06:31It's like anyone's boat.
06:33Mary?
06:34Or perhaps another quadrille.
06:36I just don't choose the music.
06:38Excuse me, Doctor.
06:39You broke a rule.
06:41Next you'll be snogging Byron.
06:43I was trying to get them back on track.
06:45Something's wrong here.
06:47This night, June 1816,
06:49Byron challenges Mary Polidori and Percy Shelley
06:52to come and see me.
06:54Byron challenges Mary Polidori and Percy Shelley
06:57to come up with a ghost story.
06:58Spot the difference.
07:00Not much writing going on.
07:03And there's no Shelley.
07:05Bingo.
07:06They're a man down.
07:08Why?
07:15Sorry, love.
07:17What?
07:18Crikey, I'm sorry.
07:19A bit lost.
07:20Looking for the lavatory?
07:22It's demonic, sir.
07:24It's terrible.
07:28Never mind, I can hold it.
07:31A big house like this, there's got to be a lamp somewhere.
07:52I'm going round in circles, yeah?
08:23I'm going round in circles, yeah?
08:44This is impolite not to announce oneself, Miss Karn.
08:47Breaking and entering's worse.
08:50What are you after?
08:54Letters.
08:56If he's written about me,
08:58I can ascertain his true sentiments.
09:06Or...
09:10you could try asking him.
09:12I have.
09:13His answers only increase the enigma.
09:17I know someone like that.
09:21Mary reproaches me.
09:24Insists I should find a more reliable prospect.
09:28Not that she can talk.
09:31Perhaps she's right.
09:33His eye does seem to wander.
09:38This enigmatic person of yours,
09:41would you trade them for reliable and dull?
09:46My person's a bit different.
09:49Do you see that?
09:52What?
09:57Nothing.
09:59Trigger the light.
10:12She walks in beauty like the night.
10:15The cloudless climes and starry skies.
10:21I'm intensely flattered you're familiar with my work, Mrs. Doctor.
10:24Just Doctor. It's fine.
10:27I'm quite into Shelley's stuff, too. He about.
10:30Indisposed, I'm afraid.
10:33He won't be joining us.
10:36May I be candid?
10:37Go for it.
10:39I sent my man out to fetch your carriage,
10:41but he seems to have disappeared.
10:46Such a jaunty pair.
10:48Is it popular in the colonies?
10:50Uh, yeah.
10:52My nan taught me.
10:54But I always get the keys wrong.
10:56But she always said there's no reason not to try.
10:59I should practice more.
11:01I've got to go.
11:03Bye.
11:04Bye.
11:05Bye.
11:06Bye.
11:07Bye.
11:08Bye.
11:09Bye.
11:10Bye.
11:11Bye.
11:12Bye.
11:13Bye.
11:14I should practice more, but I confess,
11:17I prefer to write.
11:19Even though my efforts are weak,
11:21I could never hope to match the achievements of my parents.
11:24Your nan would say stick with it.
11:31What's his problem?
11:33Oh.
11:34Paid Dr. Polidori no heed.
11:37He's bad-tempered because he does not sleep.
11:40He walks at night.
11:42Terrible affliction.
11:44Imagine.
11:45Never being able to truly rest.
11:48I'm fully aware of what you want.
11:50Please, reveal all.
11:52My third canto.
11:56Of child Harold's pilgrimage, my work in progress.
11:59Nah, it goes on a bit, that one.
12:01No offence.
12:03Nice mention of Ada, though.
12:05Big fan of hers.
12:07You know of my daughter?
12:08Will do.
12:09Gorgeous brain.
12:12For a quick visit, supposedly.
12:14But I'm getting this really weird vibe off your house.
12:17Vibe?
12:18Yeah.
12:20I don't want to worry you.
12:22But I'm sensing that it's sort of
12:24unrelentingly evil.
12:30Ryan.
12:31It's like a maze out there.
12:33And they're a few years shy of a toilet.
12:35Sir?
12:36Blimey.
12:37You've got to stop doing that.
12:40Splendid.
12:41Very convenient.
12:42Ryan?
12:43Not a car's eaten for love nor money,
12:45and a French woman's got to write up about something.
12:48Mrs Shelley seems fatigued.
12:50Only of waiting to dance.
12:52You're the one who looks like death.
12:54Do you insult my visage, sir?
12:55Might want to stop shooting daggers,
12:57and maybe take a nap, all right?
12:58I beg your pardon?
12:59He means perhaps you should take a rest.
13:01I'm a physician.
13:02I'm in rude health.
13:03Whatever you say, mate.
13:05Then I say choose, sir!
13:07Sorry.
13:08He does this rather a lot.
13:10Choose your weapon!
13:11What?
13:12Isn't it obvious?
13:13He's challenging you to a duel.
13:15Oh, look.
13:16Hey, look.
13:17I'm not here to fight anyone, all right?
13:18So everyone just calm down.
13:19Fletcher!
13:20You will be my second?
13:21No.
13:22Will Mr O'Brien be yours?
13:23No.
13:24Cheers, mate.
13:25No, no.
13:26I mean, no.
13:27Because there's going to be no duel,
13:28I absolutely forbid it.
13:29Oh.
13:30Oh.
13:31Also, also.
13:32I shall return with my pistol.
13:38He's getting a gun.
13:39He's getting a gun.
13:40He's getting a gun.
13:47Whatever is that?
13:49No.
13:51I think it's a...
13:53It's definitely a hound.
13:55Get the offensive.
13:56Don't!
13:57It's so strong!
13:59And ferocious!
14:05Great shot!
14:08Yeah.
14:14Hmm.
14:15Fourteenth.
14:16No.
14:17Fifteenth century.
14:18Touch more umami.
14:19She licked it.
14:20She is the most baffling creature
14:22I've ever been acquainted with.
14:24Human.
14:25Protein.
14:26Collagen.
14:27And...
14:28nothing abnormal.
14:30What kind of implement is that?
14:31One that zaps people's heads open
14:33and threatens people with guns?
14:36I don't think they're really from the colonies.
14:37No.
14:38She is from somewhere much, much stranger.
14:43The north.
14:45How did it come to life then?
14:47Was it haunted or something?
14:48Unlikely.
14:49Well, you did say their house was evil.
14:52Well, that's a development.
14:54I've been getting a vibe.
14:55If there is evil here,
14:56I know who brought it in.
15:02Very well.
15:03I may have a skeleton.
15:04A skeleton in my chamber.
15:07Right.
15:08You keep an eye on Trigger Happy.
15:10Me and you need to take a squizzy at your skeleton.
15:26It's a collection.
15:28Of what?
15:29Dead stuff?
15:30Relics of war.
15:32From my travels.
15:35Reminders that we tread
15:37on the dust of empires.
15:40Crops now grow where blood was spilt.
15:43An innocent fascination, I assure you.
15:45Waterloo.
15:47I love a good plume.
15:50What do you think?
15:52A 15th century soldier.
15:56In the battle of the rats.
16:01His final remains.
16:04One hand gone.
16:06Both hands gone.
16:08Great. There's another on the loose.
16:10Keep your eyes peeled.
16:11Anything else strange happens since you've been here?
16:15When the weather turned,
16:17Shalhi began having visions.
16:19He's prone to them.
16:22What did he see?
16:24An apparition of a figure
16:25floating above the lake.
16:28When you said he was indisposed,
16:30what did you mean?
16:31Well, when he didn't join us,
16:33my mind naturally wandered to the idea
16:35of some torrid assignation in town.
16:40Shalhi often retires to our chalet.
16:43To a right.
16:46Maison Chapuis, on the shore.
16:48We should probably pop down and have a chat.
17:02You're like ninjas, you lot.
17:05Oh, fair play to you, though, love.
17:07Food.
17:08There's never any food.
17:09Cheers.
17:10You're a belter.
17:11Yeah.
17:13Baby-sitting duty.
17:15You'll be no trouble now, though.
17:17Dead to the world.
17:19This apparition,
17:20did Shalhi describe it in any more detail?
17:22Dark.
17:23Charred by fire.
17:26Suspended over the water like a dead man.
17:29Suspended over the water like a death god
17:31rising from Hades.
17:34Right.
17:35Nothing too sinister, then.
17:41You can ask him more questions
17:42when we get to the chalet.
17:47Did we just go down to the top?
17:52What reanimates bones and leaves no trace?
17:55Why just the hands?
17:56Why only parts?
17:57However, my collection's not demonic.
17:59Correct.
18:00But I'll probably come back for this, though.
18:03Strictly for safety purposes.
18:05Not because it really suits me or anything.
18:08This vibe you mentioned,
18:11is it still there?
18:12Yeah.
18:13I can't...
18:15It's like it won't let me think.
18:17I need to get out of this house.
18:28Easier said than done, apparently.
18:34How many times now?
18:36Seven.
18:37Mrs. Tuck just said the house was evil.
18:39She must be right.
18:40It's turning against us.
18:43A house can't do that.
18:45Even an evil one.
18:53Don't worry.
18:54We're great at sorting things out like this.
18:56There's always an explanation.
18:57It touched me.
18:58Ghost.
18:59Ghost. It definitely touched me.
19:01Oh, Ryan.
19:02That was my elbow.
19:05I knew that.
19:06I totally knew that.
19:11Please tell me there's a real baby in here.
19:14My son.
19:15William.
19:16I must get to him.
19:26No.
19:27No.
19:28No.
19:29No.
19:30No.
19:31No.
19:32No.
19:33No.
19:34No.
19:35No.
19:36No.
19:37No.
19:38No.
19:39No.
19:40No.
19:41No.
19:42No.
19:43No.
19:44No.
19:49You're going nowhere, pal.
19:51You're staying right there.
19:52I'm on guard.
19:54Oh.
19:55Hey.
19:56Oh, Polly.
19:58Polly?
19:59Hello?
20:01Polly?
20:03Polly?
20:05Can you hear me, son?
20:07Can you hear me?
20:21The same chamber.
20:23Over and over.
20:26How is it possible?
20:27It's not.
20:28It's...
20:29Like a dream.
20:30Elise?
20:32Can you hear me?
20:34Do you have William?
20:37He'll be okay.
20:38He probably just cried himself out when he fell asleep.
20:41Doc!
20:42Polly!
20:43Doc!
20:44Doc!
20:50Is something seriously wrong with his calf?
20:52Is anyone else trapped?
20:54Yeah.
20:55I think I'm seeing dead people.
21:04Perfect.
21:05We're the same.
21:06I totally saw a ghost.
21:07We're stuck on the stairs.
21:09Please!
21:10How do we move upwards?
21:12I need to check my son as well.
21:15Working on it.
21:16Head's a bit fuzzy.
21:17Normal service will resume shortly.
21:19And ghosts don't exist.
21:21Of course not.
21:23You two just need a spray tan and a kip, eh?
21:25Graham, what sort of dead people exactly?
21:29How can I hear your voice, Doc?
21:31I'm using the fireplace chimney.
21:34Doc?
21:35Graham?
21:38Graham?
21:40They've gone now.
21:41And...
21:43So's Polidori.
21:44I've lost him.
21:45You had one job.
21:47It made more challenging by his ability to walk through walls.
21:50Through?
21:51Well, he just turned sort of zombie and went into one.
21:54What do you speak of?
21:55What is a zombie?
21:56Is this Doctor?
21:57A kind of dead person walking, but it won't be that.
22:00Is this Doctor?
22:01How do you know?
22:02Because Polidori isn't dead for a kick-off.
22:06This is Doctor!
22:07Religious Doctor is fine.
22:08Polidori!
22:11He emerged from the wall like a phantom.
22:14Be gone, demon!
22:18Pulse.
22:20Check.
22:22Breathing.
22:23Check.
22:25May I just say, you are quite lovely in a crisis.
22:28No, you may not.
22:32The lights are on, but he's gone on a mini-break.
22:36Possessed?
22:37Or asleep.
22:38He walks in his sleep.
22:39One does not sleepwalk through walls.
22:41Not just through.
22:43Up.
22:44He was downstairs a second ago.
22:46What you said before?
22:47About being lovely.
22:48Back a bit.
22:50Demon?
22:53It's like dreaming.
22:55Only we aren't.
22:57And he is.
23:00So he can't see.
23:03The illusion.
23:08But it's more than that.
23:09We're surrounded.
23:10Immersed.
23:11It's sort of like a perception filter.
23:15Close your eyes.
23:16Clear your mind.
23:17We're only experiencing what it wants us to.
23:24I can feel it.
23:26She's right.
23:28Our minds are being deceived.
23:32Here is the door.
23:33Hidden from our eyes.
23:36We're trapped.
23:38Here is the door.
23:39Hidden from our eyes.
23:44Elise?
23:46I'm coming for William.
23:49How are we here now?
23:51This is impossible.
23:54This should be William's room.
23:56This place keeps on changing like a puzzle.
23:59I don't get it.
24:01Why hide a house inside a house?
24:08William.
24:09My darling.
24:20I suspect I must have missed something.
24:23Yes.
24:24But you've shown us how to get out of this room.
24:26This can't be the hallway.
24:27We've not descended the stairs.
24:33It is.
24:35It is.
24:36But there should be a door here.
24:38Please, can we get out of here?
24:39In theory, yes.
24:41We just have to tell ourselves that we can walk through the door.
24:45We know it's right there.
24:54My bones have never caused such mischief before.
24:58I swear.
24:59Things we know.
25:00We can move inside, but not out.
25:03Dead things don't act dead.
25:04People vanish.
25:05Elise?
25:07My poor William.
25:08There's no sign of Fletcher either.
25:09Hey, maybe Shelley didn't turn up because we couldn't get in.
25:13I've never believed in such things, but could this be hell?
25:17Could we be deceased?
25:18Nice blue sky thinking, but no.
25:20This place keeps on folding in on itself as well.
25:24Exactly.
25:26I think we're caught in a security system.
25:28It's turned the house into a sort of giant panic room.
25:32In 1816?
25:36The year without a summer.
25:38They blamed it on volcanic ash covering the sunlight.
25:42Weather went haywire.
25:43What if something came here that wasn't supposed to and caused a major disturbance?
25:47Like what?
25:48That?
25:54That could be a solid option, Mary.
25:56Yes.
25:58What is this?
25:59I don't know.
26:02It's sort of just floating around.
26:05Like a death god rising from Hades.
26:07Shelley's vision.
26:09But we're all having it.
26:10No.
26:11It's pushing through.
26:12That is what Shelley saw.
26:15It's not a vision.
26:16It never was.
26:18It's a traveller moving through time.
26:29And it's trying to get in.
26:33I knew they'd die.
26:35That is a lone Cyberman.
26:43Chance warning.
26:45Beware of the lone Cyberman.
26:46Don't let it have what it wants.
26:48At all costs.
26:49Yes.
26:50Thank you.
26:51Barricade the door.
26:52May I ask, what is a Cyberman?
26:56Someone altered organs.
26:58A Cyberman?
27:00Someone altered organs.
27:02Flesh.
27:03Surgically replaced with mechanical parts without consent.
27:06It drives them insane.
27:07So they alter the brain too.
27:08Switch off all emotion.
27:11Never seen one like him before.
27:13He's different.
27:15Unfinished.
27:18Whatever he came for is hidden here.
27:21Explains the security.
27:22What's hidden?
27:23I've no idea.
27:25But I need to be into it.
27:26Quick.
27:29No.
27:33Not my room.
27:38Doctor, what are you doing?
27:40Where are you going?
27:41You're not leaving us.
27:42I have to find out what he's looking for.
27:45Alone.
27:46You need backup.
27:47All of us against one.
27:49One Cyberman, but then thousands.
27:51Humans like all of you.
27:53Changed into empty solar shells.
27:56No feeling.
27:57No control.
27:58No way back.
27:59I will not lose anyone else to that.
28:02Do not follow me.
28:08Lord Byron?
28:13Is that you?
28:15I feel I've lost my faculties entirely.
28:20Are you the Guardian?
28:22No, sir.
28:23No, sir.
28:25I am the Feller.
28:53Our father who art in heaven,
28:55hallowed be thy name.
28:58Thy kingdom come,
29:00thy will be done,
29:02on earth as it is in heaven.
29:23No!
29:39Don't be afraid, little one.
29:42You will be like us.
29:46What if it finds William?
29:47We need to find the child.
29:48And a way out.
29:49We are not safe here.
29:51It could pass through a wall at any moment.
29:53The doctor told us the way.
29:55Technically, she only told us not to follow her.
30:01Let's split up.
30:09Tell me what you're after.
30:10I might be able to help.
30:14Well, it was never going to be under there.
30:16Unless you don't actually know what it looks like.
30:19Funny.
30:21This Dark Age is surprising.
30:24You're not as primitive as I expected.
30:26You're not as cyborg-y as I expected.
30:33You've met my kind before.
30:36You could say that.
30:38You appear courageous.
30:40But your vital signs betray a heightened state of anxiety.
30:44Or as I like to call it, Tuesday.
30:47Interesting, look.
30:48What happened? They get bored halfway through or something?
30:50I am complete enough to serve my purpose.
30:58A bit embarrassing.
31:00Time hop took a lot of juice.
31:02Now you're fresh out.
31:03You irritate me.
31:05How very human.
31:07Still feel things then?
31:08No inhibitor yet?
31:09Don't demand me to be sterile!
31:11Okay, so here's the thing.
31:13There's a chance I might be the Guardian.
31:16Only I don't know what it is I'm supposed to be guarding.
31:18This isn't my time either.
31:19Maybe we're supposed to work together.
31:21Together.
31:22Anything's possible.
31:26The house still shifts.
31:33Whose room is this?
31:35Their ones.
31:36I thought it was empty.
31:37But the writing on the walls.
31:39And all of these papers.
31:40Their writing.
31:41It's Shelley's.
31:49A cellar.
31:50We'll give it a miss, eh?
31:51Could the coal hatch be a means of escape?
31:54We should try everywhere.
31:56Is it too late to choose another group?
32:11You ever considered breast milk?
32:13Recharging, not good.
32:16Figuring out how to manipulate the elements
32:18and creating an extremely sophisticated
32:21and probably unlimited external power source.
32:32That's better.
32:38The coal hatch is gone.
32:45Oh, there's no way out.
32:53Claire, you okay?
32:55Miss Claremont?
32:57There's something down here with us.
33:00I can reach the energy field now.
33:04You are not the Guardian.
33:07The Siberian have selected another as host.
33:11What's a Siberian?
33:13I'll find it and remove it.
33:16What are we talking here?
33:18A life form?
33:20A weapon of some kind?
33:25What's happening to you?
33:31There's not one atom of yon earth.
33:37But once was living man.
33:43A soul of ecstatic peace.
33:46He cherishes the snakes that ploy his heart.
33:50He raises up the tyrant to his delight.
33:54Is it war?
33:58Shelly's words.
33:59How does it know them?
34:01Something crept in front of me.
34:03I heard its foul breath.
34:05Listen.
34:13No.
34:22I'm sorry.
34:23I tried to hide it.
34:26I have to keep him out.
34:28Oh, you.
34:30I'm the Guardian.
34:34I am Percival.
34:35It's Shelly.
34:38He is on my seat.
34:42But he is fortified against me.
34:45Okay, good to know.
34:46So I vote.
34:47We split up and continue the search.
34:50You go this way and I'll go here.
35:05Doctor.
35:06You're here.
35:07Come on in.
35:09William.
35:17Dear Fletcher, no.
35:19It cannot be.
35:23Mr. O'Brien needs you in the cellar at once.
35:26We found Shelly.
35:27All of you, find somewhere to hide.
35:30But I must...
35:31Do you want to listen or do you want to end up like them?
35:33None of this is supposed to happen.
35:35They weren't supposed to die.
35:37Neither are you, so please, let's not unravel anything else.
35:40Hide and stay there.
35:43History is vulnerable tonight.
35:45I mean it.
35:47Come on.
35:52You're going to take William from me.
35:57Guard him well.
36:00Stay safe.
36:01I need to see Percy.
36:06Shelly in the cellar, hidden away, cloaked.
36:09Too big to register.
36:11That's why my readings have been off.
36:14It's something called a Siberian.
36:17I'm trying to protect him.
36:22Begone, invader!
36:36We moved him.
36:38Is it you changing the house?
36:40Some, but not all.
36:43It has its own room.
36:45Mary!
36:46I cannot hide.
36:48Not while he suffers.
36:53Show me.
36:55What happened to you?
37:01I was out walking alone.
37:03There was a glimmer in the lake.
37:06Exquisite.
37:08Alive.
37:10Like quicksilver.
37:12I fished it out to study it more closely.
37:16But then it took root within me.
37:34I returned.
37:36Hello!
37:37I was changed.
37:43No one could see me.
37:45It hid itself in me and hid me within the villa.
37:48And when he thought he might be discovered, it manipulated all of our perceptions.
37:52Since the quicksilver has taken hold of me, I see symbols.
37:56Symbols and numbers.
37:58They will not leave my head, no matter how much I transcribe them.
38:02The symbols were all over his room.
38:04All over the walls.
38:06The house was like shifting sands.
38:11I sought solitude here.
38:13In the dark.
38:14What happened to him?
38:15I'm going with alien parasite.
38:18Cyber technology.
38:20The knowledge of the whole cyber race.
38:22An AI from the future.
38:24Containing the knowledge and future history of all cybermen.
38:28They scorched and split the sky.
38:30Built the army of all armies.
38:32Left behind only pain, rage, fear and death.
38:37How is he seeing all this?
38:39The cyberium is burning through his mind.
38:40It will destroy him if it stays in him much longer.
38:43An epic battle.
38:45The cyberium at the heart of it.
38:47Controlling data, strategy, decision making.
38:50Clever.
38:51Very clever.
38:52Someone took it from the cybermen, sent it back through time here in an attempt to change the future.
38:58In an attempt to protect him from that.
39:01I can't give him away much longer.
39:05Then don't.
39:09Doc.
39:10Stop fighting. It's okay.
39:11Jack's warning.
39:12Jack isn't here now. He's stuck in the house.
39:14Exactly. He didn't want us near it a minute ago.
39:16I've just been inside his brain.
39:17There's a supercomputer fused to a cerebral cortex.
39:20He's the only one who knows how to get that out.
39:22Don't let the cybermen have what it wants.
39:24I know.
39:25I know.
39:26Because armies will rise and billions will die.
39:28Shelly's gonna die if that stuff stays inside.
39:30Shelly's only one life against all those of us.
39:34What are you saying?
39:36How can you condemn him to death like that?
39:40But is he, Ryan?
39:42His thoughts, his words, inspire and influence thousands for centuries.
39:46If he dies now, who knows what damage that will have on future history.
39:51Shelly.
39:54Words matter.
39:58One death, one ripple, and history will change in a blink.
40:03The future will not be the world you know.
40:05The world you came from, the world you were created in, won't exist.
40:09So neither will you.
40:12It's not just his life at stake. It's yours.
40:15You want to sacrifice yourself for this?
40:17You want me to sacrifice you?
40:19You want to call it? Do it now. All of you.
40:29Yeah.
40:31Because sometimes this team structure isn't flat.
40:34It's mountainous, with me at the summit, in the stratosphere, alone.
40:40Left to choose.
40:43Save the poet. Save the universe.
40:47Watch people burn now, or tomorrow.
40:50Sometimes, even I can't win.
40:59Please, help me.
41:07Release what you hold.
41:10Release it!
41:11He doesn't know what that means! You've got to tell him what he's got to know!
41:14I am addressing the Siberian.
41:17It must execute the host to be expected.
41:20It's not obeying you.
41:23Then I shall execute the host.
41:27What is your name, sir?
41:29Mary, this is not a good time to talk.
41:31Your names?
41:33Are you several men?
41:35A composite of parts?
41:37I am better than men.
41:40Yet I still see a soul in there.
41:44What do you think you see, child?
41:48I see the man who spared my son.
41:56Were you a father before?
42:00I was.
42:03You didn't want to be this way.
42:05They hurt you.
42:07As modern Prometheus.
42:11You loved once.
42:15And were loved in return.
42:19You do not wish to kill.
42:27My name was Ashad.
42:36I did spare your son.
42:40Because he's a useless runt.
42:43Sickly and weak.
42:45And I did have children.
42:47I slit their throats when they joined the Resistance.
42:53In death, we are transformed.
42:55Improved.
42:57Updated.
42:58As you will learn.
43:00Transformed in death?
43:01I'm sorry, Percy Shelley.
43:03So very sorry.
43:06Mrs. Doctor!
43:07What are you doing to him?
43:11Doctor!
43:18The Siberian!
43:19He's leaving his body!
43:24What just happened?
43:25I ran back here.
43:26He's reset the house.
43:28Shelley needs help.
43:29I think I've freed him from the Siberian.
43:32At what cost?
43:34At what cost?
43:41And it chooses me.
43:43Interesting.
43:44Time Lord Magnetism.
43:46Looks like I'm the true guardian.
43:50Surrender it.
43:52Or I will execute you.
43:54I've been very careful with those execution threats.
43:57I can feel it already.
43:59Fusing to me.
44:00Feels very at home.
44:01Recognizing great host material.
44:03Not to big myself up, but I don't think it'll vacate me without a fight.
44:14What are you doing?
44:15Transmitting.
44:16My ship will lock onto my signal.
44:19It will tear this reality.
44:21And this planet will remain hungry in shreds.
44:25This world doesn't end in 1816.
44:28It can't.
44:29It will.
44:31He's bluffing.
44:32Don't listen to him.
44:33But I can't be sure.
44:35I can't risk this planet.
44:37I can't win.
44:38We are inevitable.
44:45Yes.
44:47You are.
44:52What are you doing?
44:53Giving it what it wants.
45:01No.
45:11What did you do to Shelly?
45:12Old time lord trick.
45:13Not a nice one.
45:14Pushed his mind to his future death.
45:16Tricked the Siberian into letting go.
45:18Hoped his body would survive the trauma.
45:20I'm sorry.
45:21I hope you can forgive me.
45:22Save Shelly?
45:23But what does that mean for the future?
45:25It means I've put it in the gravest danger.
45:27Please, tell me that was part of the plan.
45:29Yes.
45:30A last minute, imperfect, all I've got plan.
45:32Saving Shelly was step one.
45:34What's step two?
45:36Fix the mess I created in step one.
45:42Go to the future.
45:44Find him.
45:45And stop him from rebuilding the cyber army.
45:48Shelly, can you give Yas those symbols and numbers?
45:51We're gonna need them.
45:59Well, that was quite the evening.
46:02Indeed.
46:05Perhaps Miss Claremont would care to retire?
46:09A lie down could prove restorative.
46:14You pursued Mrs. Doctor without a care for my presence.
46:18Belittled my thoughts and opinions.
46:21And then proceeded to use my person as a human shield.
46:26And?
46:28And the spell is broken, my lord.
46:43You have returned me to life.
46:45Although I feel as though I have none of it left to live.
46:49Sorry about the sneak peak.
46:51Every moment will be precious.
46:55How can we repay you?
46:56Just don't lose hope.
46:58Yeah.
46:59Keep doing that writing thing.
47:01If you like.
47:09So, if all the weirdness was the cyberium,
47:11you know, the bones and Shelly floating about and all that,
47:14why would it reanimate a couple of stiffs just to bring the Asani?
47:18You know, the maid and the creepy little kid.
47:21No.
47:23We thought you saw Shelly like we did.
47:26Oh, come on. BDIs.
47:28Made the room go arctic. Where did them two fit in?
47:30I'm not sure they did.
47:31No, no. Come on, Doc.
47:32This is where you jump in with a rational explanation.
47:34I mean, ghosts don't exist, right?
47:37Unless they do.
47:38What?
47:40Inside, you three.
47:41I need to talk.
47:45Listen.
47:46You don't need to come with me.
47:49Cyber war zones and people don't mix.
47:52I'll drop you back in 2020.
47:53Oh, we can use Shelly's numbers.
47:56Coordinates, right?
48:02Yeah.
48:03Wherever you think's a good place to start.
48:05Which step to?
48:08The world was void.
48:10The populous and the powerful was a lump.
48:12Seasonless,
48:13herbless,
48:14treeless,
48:15manless,
48:16lifeless.
48:18A lump of death,
48:19a chaos
48:20of hard clay.
48:22Ships, sailorless, lay rotting on the sea
48:26and their masts fell down piecemeal.
48:30As they dropped,
48:31they slept on the abyss without a surge.
48:35The waves were dead.
48:37The tides were in their grave.
48:40The moon,
48:41their mistress,
48:42had expired before.
48:44The winds withered in the stagnant air
48:46and the clouds perished.
48:50Darkness had no need of aid from them.
48:53She was the universe.
49:24No!
49:30Any idea what we're walking into?
49:32This planet,
49:33this time period,
49:35and the very far future,
49:37immediate aftermath of the cyber wars.
