00:00I bring Sutax, King of Death, for you and for all of this tiny, vile, incessant universe!
00:30I bring Sutax, Dust of Death, for you and for all of this tiny, vile, incessant universe!
00:50I bring Sutax, Dust of Death, for you and for all of this tiny, vile, incessant universe!
01:20I bring Sutax, Dust of Death, for you and for all of this tiny, vile, incessant universe!
01:50I bring Sutax, Dust of Death, for you and for all of this tiny, vile, incessant universe!
02:10Oh, one day, I bring Sutax, Dust of Death.
02:23Doctor, are you there? This is me, signing off.
02:26With thanks and love. And please send this monster back into Hell.
02:31No!
02:32Because I have to hope.
02:33Birds will sing again. There will be birds.
02:40There's nothing we can do. Except fight!
02:58Faster! Now, faster!
03:00I'm going as fast as I can!
03:02Come on in, faster!
03:13Open the door! Open the door!
03:20Now, wait!
03:21Wait!
03:31We interrupt this broadcast with warnings of an incident in central London.
03:35People are being told to evacuate the city immediately.
03:41What is it? What's going on?
03:45Do you believe in the power of prayer?
03:49I most certainly do.
03:53Then tell your maker I will come to storm down his gates of gold and seize his kingdom in my true name.
04:01What are you talking about?
04:06Who are you?
04:10I'm sorry, you tiny little woman. I'm so, so sorry it ends like this.
04:18I had such plans.
04:41Time membrane failing.
04:44You get out, bunker 17 now.
04:46Doctor, my mother, why can't we see her?
04:47Ruby, we've got worse problems.
05:17It's the hardest remembered. It's made of memories.
05:31Ruby, it is feeding off you.
05:33Yeah, give it everything you've got, babes. Remember it harder.
05:36Yes, yes, yes I can, yes.
05:38If time is a memory, the memory is a time machine.
05:41Yes, yes, that's it. More, more, more, more.
05:52That should do it.
05:54Okay, all right.
05:57As hard as this is remembering itself.
05:59Doctor!
06:01We meet again, my old friend.
06:05Don't you dare.
06:07Doctor, what is that thing?
06:09Sutak, the death of ages, the Typhonian beast, the greatest monster I have ever fought.
06:18Sutak is so totally evil. What if Horus and the others are?
06:21It's time it was put to rest.
06:24It's telling the story of your life.
06:26A long time ago, in the England of 1911, Sutak had been bound and imprisoned for all eternity.
06:33But he rose again, and I defeated him.
06:36I cast you into the time vortex. I sent you forward to your death.
06:41I sent you forward to your death.
06:44I sent you forward to your death.
06:47I sent you forward to your death.
06:50I cast you into the time vortex. I sent you forward to your own death.
06:55Instead, I found a home.
06:59I clung to your infernal machine, and for so many years, I hate it.
07:07I have traveled with you for all this time, riding the spine of your ship,
07:14staring into eternity and evolving into my true godhood.
07:23Now I know every beat of the heart of your time machine, and I can lend it to my will.
07:34It will stand as my altar, the temple of my empire of death.
07:45Never yours again, Doctor. Never.
07:49But I saw inside the TARDIS so many secrets.
07:55Her name seasoned the perfect trap.
08:00I created an apparition of her universally.
08:04Every time we landed on every single world, I burst them all by angels of death.
08:13Now standing triumphant across the universe, I bring Sutek's dust of death.
08:22Every living thing is an abomination.
08:28I am coming to release them into blessed death, and I find that good.
08:38And I damn you, Sutek. I damn you in the name of life itself.
08:46And I swear to you, with both the hearts of the last of the Time Lords, I will stop you.
08:53I will defeat you, and I will turn back death.
08:57And why am I still alive?
09:03Killing me is your gift.
09:07And believe me, Sutek, I am an extinction of hate.
09:10So what is stopping you? Why is the god of death not killing me?
09:16What am I missing?
09:20I'll tell you a secret, Sute.
09:26This feeling that you have now, this doubt, have you ever felt so alive?
09:40And doesn't it feel good?
09:45Run!
09:52What is it?
09:53It's a Remember Tardis.
09:56It's bits and pieces of every Tardis that ever was, held together by hopes and wishes and luck.
10:07Wait, does this thing work? Can it fly?
10:09No idea.
10:23No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, we need that.
10:35Right, right, right, right, right, right.
10:37Tie that to that, yeah, like this.
10:39Oh!
10:40Mel! Mel!
10:41What?
10:42Tie that lever down, all those switches, down, down, down, down, down, yeah?
10:45Beautiful.
10:46See these wires? Tie them together, tie them tight.
10:49Doctor!
10:50Doctor!
10:51We're on fire!
11:00Is this thing safe?
11:02Absolute deathtrap, M'lady B.
11:04Okay.
11:07Yeah, that's better.
11:21Okay.
11:22Okay, that's it.
11:23That's it.
11:25Calm down.
11:33That's it, nice and easy.
11:35Okay.
11:39See?
11:44That hook is a molecular bond.
11:47It's like intelligent rope.
11:49What do you mean, like?
11:51Intelligent glove.
11:54That was the first day we met.
11:59Man, I am so sorry.
12:09You've got to stabilize.
12:11Because without the time and those memories, we go kaboom.
12:15That screen is holding the TARDIS together.
12:19Okay.
12:20So what did I miss?
12:21Every Susan Triumph, they were innocent.
12:23They were all real.
12:24Absolutely real.
12:25Every time the TARDIS would land, it would roll around like...
12:30Okay, so the TARDIS has a perception filter.
12:33So it doesn't get noticed, it just sits there kind of unseen.
12:36Because it casts a field around it at 66.7 metres exact.
12:39It's 73 yards.
12:43How do you know that?
12:46I don't know, I just do.
12:51Funny things happen at 73 yards.
12:54People say that you can see things.
12:57Saul, Sue Tech, he used this field, but he used it massively.
13:01He focused his mind, created a whole new person everywhere he'd land.
13:05But perception means that she fitted in, she had character,
13:08she had history, she had a truth.
13:12But Doctor, you landed on Earth a hundred times.
13:16I think she was reborn every time.
13:18Each time the TARDIS would land, the idea of that woman
13:21would get stronger and stronger.
13:22By 2024, she was Susan Triad.
13:25This monumental figure.
13:26What's she done? Sue Tech called her an angel of death.
13:29What did she do?
13:42The dust of death.
13:47Spreading all over the world.
13:52My mother, is she...
13:53It's everyone.
13:55No, but can't you just...
13:56Nothing I can do.
14:00I can't.
14:02I can't.
14:04I can't.
14:06I can't.
14:08I can't.
14:11I can't.
14:16She was...
14:18It's happening over and over again.
14:22Every time I landed there.
14:251999.
14:291066.
14:332005.
14:36The Earth is dying.
14:43So many times.
15:05Every world that I ever stood upon.
15:12All dead.
15:16Venus.
15:18Telos.
15:20Charon.
15:26The Oodsphere.
15:29And Skaro.
15:31The Daleks are dead.
15:33Everything is dead.
15:35But...
15:37There are so many places you haven't been.
15:40They must be safe.
15:41I've traveled so far.
15:44Everything caught in that pattern is dying.
15:47I'm not alone.
15:49I'm not alone.
15:51I'm not alone.
15:53I'm not alone.
15:55I'm not alone.
15:57I'm dying.
16:00A whole of time and space.
16:08I did this?
16:10You did not.
16:12No.
16:18Every sun is dead.
16:21The universe has come to a halt.
16:28And it is my fault.
16:32Because I traveled to all those worlds.
16:38I thought it was fun.
16:57No!
17:09The universe stands silent in death.
17:17Yet, one thing persists.
17:22One thing keeps living despite me.
17:27The Time Lord.
17:29No, greater than him.
17:31The secret the Child carries with her.
17:36But I will find them.
17:38Out there, in the hollows of this desolate universe.
17:43They are hiding somewhere.
17:46Lost to the wind and the wild.
17:58The Time Lord.
18:04Excuse me.
18:07Can you tell me?
18:10Where are we?
18:13No idea.
18:15Absolutely no idea, darling.
18:19All I've got is this chaffee. Do you want some?
18:21That's very kind.
18:23Only if you have enough.
18:26Where did you come from?
18:29Nowhere.
18:31I got a bit lost.
18:35It's been a very, very long time.
18:40I haven't seen anyone in weeks.
18:42There was a caravan that passed through.
18:45Heading towards, I don't know, somewhere over that way.
18:49They said there was food, but I haven't seen them since.
18:53Hush now, darling. Let me give the man his chaffee.
18:57Who is the little one?
19:01I think I called her Brindle.
19:04Brindle Dee.
19:06But I forget.
19:09What is this place called?
19:14Hard to remember. I...
19:17They say memory is dying.
19:19There was a man that said that actual facts were dying in the death wave.
19:23But I think this was the city of...
19:27It began with a B.
19:29And the planet?
19:32I don't think I was born here.
19:35Then I met my husband.
19:37Whatever his name was. Tall.
19:40He was tall. I remember that.
19:43But it was all a very long time ago.
19:45Well, at least you survived.
19:47I'm not sure I did, really.
19:49The funny thing is, I do remember an opera house over that way.
19:57I have all the things to remember.
19:59Maybe I worked there. Maybe I sang.
20:01But people used to come from all over.
20:03With lights and their diamonds.
20:06All sorts of things. It was lovely.
20:11Have you got any meds?
20:15Have you got any meds?
20:19Metal is a precious thing, sir.
20:23I don't think anything's precious anymore.
20:30I suppose you do have a very nice face.
20:44Thank you.
21:02I'll forget it in a minute.
21:04That's very kind of you.
21:15I will use this spoon. I promise.
21:19It might save the universe for the spoon.
21:22That would be nice.
21:25You should go now.
21:27Are you okay?
21:31I think my daughter died.
21:34Didn't she?
21:37And I forgot.
21:45I think she did.
21:49I'm sorry.
21:51They say it travels the death wave down the family line.
21:57Except that this man, he said it's...
22:00It's...
22:02It's perverse, is what he said.
22:04But it's so determined to kill that it can travel backwards.
22:08From child to mother.
22:11And it's okay because I really am very tired.
22:17You've got such a nice face.
22:42I swear to you.
22:45This spoon...
22:54It's what we need.
22:56Just some metal, not TARDIS memory, something real.
23:00Thank you, whoever you are.
23:04Look, look, look.
23:06After all this time, it's still connected to the time window.
23:09Yeah, I never understood, what was all that Egyptian stuff?
23:12Cultural appropriation.
23:15Oh.
23:16And who were they, that woman and the man with the hair?
23:19They just travelled in the TARDIS.
23:22That's how I know Mal.
23:24We travelled together, didn't we?
23:27Best time of my life.
23:29We met Einstein.
23:32Did we?
23:35God, I forgot.
23:36You okay?
23:38Exhausted.
23:40I still don't get it.
23:41What changed?
23:42Sutekh was hidden for years.
23:44Why did he go on the attack?
23:49Ask her again.
23:50Why did he go on the attack?
23:52Why did Sutekh appear on Ruby Road?
23:54He's answering you.
23:55The images are reaching out to you.
23:57What do you mean?
23:58They're trying to help.
24:03The time window is still connected to your memories.
24:05Maybe it's trying to ask you something.
24:07What does this have to do with my mother?
24:10Oh, because...
24:12Because...
24:19Sutekh became visible outside the church
24:21because when he landed with the TARDIS in 2004,
24:24he saw the one thing beyond his comprehension.
24:26Your mother.
24:27But who is she?
24:28We don't know.
24:29And neither does he, that's the point.
24:32No.
24:35She drives us crazy, but Sutekh, oh...
24:38He's been riding on the back of the TARDIS
24:40beholding all of time and space,
24:41and then he can't see one woman.
24:43One woman.
24:44One singular, mysterious woman.
24:47No wonder he's keeping us alive.
24:48To figure out the answer, who is she?
24:50But if gods are scared of him,
24:52what the hell does that mean?
24:53She's not this big cosmic thing, is she?
24:55Because in that case, what am I?
24:56Ruby, you are absolutely human.
24:58But who is she?
24:59Who is she?
25:00And why was she pointing at you?
25:04Come here.
25:05Melanie.
25:07Melanie.
25:10I saw you.
25:14We can find the living
25:16through time and space
25:19and family.
25:22I wish there was something we could do
25:24to just see her.
25:25But the government says...
25:26Okay, then who's that?
25:29I mean, the government has collapsed
25:31in shame, in absolute shame.
25:33Let me see.
25:34Now's the time to vote.
25:37No, nothing.
25:38Give it to me.
25:42There, I mean him.
25:44Show me.
25:49It's giving you another answer.
25:51What is it?
25:53Well, that's the guy with the TV,
25:55but who's he?
25:56I propose compulsory DNA tests
25:58and for the entire population...
26:00Roger Abbulon.
26:03The most dangerous
26:05prime minister in history.
26:08That's 2046.
26:10You haven't met him, have you?
26:12No.
26:13No, I couldn't, could I?
26:15Then why is it showing you?
26:192046.
26:202046.
26:2220...
26:2346.
26:242046!
26:25He did it.
26:27DNA testing became compulsory
26:28for the entire population in the UK.
26:30So if your mother was still alive...
26:31She'd be on record.
26:32She would be on the register.
26:34We've never been able to find her
26:35because she never got tested,
26:36but 2046, she's got no choice.
26:38It is showing us the way, Ruby.
26:40It's showing us the path to your mother.
26:41If I could just...
26:42What does that mean?
26:43Can we find Ruby's mother?
26:44Yeah, and what happens if we do?
26:45One question at a time.
26:47Okay.
26:49All right, the toilet doesn't have much power.
26:55But...
26:57If we can just make one final...
27:06Handy.
27:08Another whistle.
27:112046, here we come!
27:13Wait, 2046 doesn't exist, does it?
27:15Yes, but it is preserved in death
27:17because I once landed there,
27:18so it's fixed, yeah?
27:19Hold on now.
27:22I see them,
27:24Melanie.
27:26Every living thing contains dead cells.
27:32Skin.
27:34Nails.
27:36In the head.
27:37Sutekh.
27:38Come and see through the dead.
27:41Melanie.
27:43Closer.
27:44Closer!
27:46Bring them to Sutekh.
27:48Find the mother's name.
27:512046.
28:04Thank you.
28:21I was in this building for the overthrow of Roger Apguliam.
28:26It was the Department of Health.
28:30He'll have the DNA.
28:33So, we're like hacking a computer?
28:36Sort of thing, yeah.
28:50Okay.
29:08Nice.
29:12Okay.
29:13The DNA list was locked away under top security.
29:17I guess who invented the security?
29:21Come on.
29:22Come on, come on, come on, come on.
29:24Come on, come on.
29:25Yes!
29:26Yes!
29:27Okay.
29:28Mel, you better keep watch.
29:31Sutekh's service could be anywhere.
29:35And don't take any risks.
29:37We're all getting out of this.
29:40Don't worry about me.
29:43Find their name.
29:46Find their name.
30:05Submit to me, Melanie.
30:15Okay.
30:31That's me.
30:33So what do we do now?
30:35Press search.
30:38Somewhere in there is your mother's name.
30:40And maybe we can use it to fight Sutekh.
30:46Searching 76 million people.
30:58Who is she?
31:01Melanie.
31:02Melanie.
31:03Melanie.
31:04Melanie.
31:05Yes.
31:06Melanie.
31:07Melanie.
31:08Melanie.
31:09Melanie.
31:10Melanie.
31:12Submit to the will of Sutekh.
31:32Keep looking.
31:39No.
31:46What does it mean?
31:51She died.
31:54She died.
31:55I'm sorry.
31:58I loved you, Mel.
31:59And what good did love do, daughter?
32:02When did it ever help?
32:06Now give me the name.
32:07But what does it mean, Mel?
32:08Give Sutekh the name.
32:14Bring me the Time Lord and the Child.
32:18And their precious secret.
32:30I bring you a gift, Holy Sutekh.
32:33Excellent.
32:34The last two creatures in existence to die at your hand.
32:40Then you can end our wretched half-life.
32:44So that silence can reign.
32:47And you can stand alone for all eternity.
32:50Gazing upon your empire of dust and ice and oblivion.
32:57Show me the name.
32:59Show me, Child.
33:05Sutekh.
33:06Bring the name to me.
33:09Sutekh, I promise you I will worship you.
33:13If you just allow me.
33:21You have lived for far too long, little Lord of Time.
33:26I've got the name.
33:27No, I've got the name.
33:28And I'll give it to you.
33:29Can you just let him go?
33:30Do you?
33:31Do you?
33:32Do you?
33:35The screen, it found the name.
33:41But I don't understand.
33:43And I wish I could.
33:46It's the only thing I've ever wanted for all these years.
33:54But now I've found it.
33:57And I don't understand.
34:02But maybe you can.
34:07Maybe this is for you.
34:11Waiting for so long.
34:17You great big god of nothing.
34:19No.
34:29Because I knew, Sutekh. I knew.
34:32She's too cold.
34:34Listen to me.
34:35This way.
34:40Die at the hand of Sutekh.
34:49No.
34:54No.
34:55No.
35:19I'm back.
35:26I'm back.
35:34Into the vortex.
35:36I'm back.
35:53Hold that lever down.
35:55What just happened?
35:57Lord, my whistle.
36:06Got it.
36:09He saw all of time and space with me, Sutekh.
36:13So I thought, what if you see again?
36:17What happens if you bring death to death?
36:20You bring life.
36:36No.
37:07No.
37:21Oh, my god.
37:26Oh, my lovely boy.
37:29Grab my arm, Sutekh.
37:36No.
37:56Bring death to death.
37:59Everywhere.
38:03Lika, hold that and that.
38:05What's happening?
38:06Life, Ruby.
38:08Life.
38:09Oh, we bring life to the whole Philippine universe.
38:12Stop.
38:14Mortis.
38:15Tigella.
38:16Mox.
38:18Messaline.
38:19Califrax.
38:21Spiridon.
38:23Telos.
38:25Shanshan.
38:30You two is alive.
38:33Welcome back, the ooze.
38:36And there, there.
38:38The planet is called Agua Santina.
38:50Hey.
38:58The spoon.
39:02Yeah.
39:11We fought a monster.
39:18And now...
39:22I must become a monster.
39:33No.
39:47You have to destroy us.
39:49The lord god of death itself.
39:53You win.
39:58Because I pride myself.
40:00I pride myself that I am better than you.
40:03Because if you're dead,
40:06then I must represent life.
40:09Surely that's who I am.
40:11Life.
40:17And that's how you win, Sutekh.
40:20Because you turned me into this.
40:24I am the one that brings death.
40:30Me.
40:34No.
40:45You.
41:01You.
41:02You.
41:27But I'm still me.
41:28I've still got my memories, my family.
41:31All of that's still true, is it?
41:33Absolutely.
41:34You are who you are.
41:37The god of death created life.
41:40And he gave you a very good brain.
41:43I think Yuna can use you.
41:45Oh.
41:46Anything to help, I don't mind.
41:48I'll make the tea.
41:50Did you make this tea?
41:51I did, yes.
41:52Don't make the tea.
41:56You should have seen me.
41:58I had to walk home.
41:59I got in and your gran was telling me off for not dusting.
42:02Sherry.
42:05I want you to say...
42:06Oh, don't, Mum. It's all right.
42:08I want you to say thank you, Doctor.
42:12You brought the hope.
42:15You brought all of us back from, well, who knows where.
42:20Do you remember what happened when you...
42:23Echoes.
42:30Echoes.
42:36We've done it.
42:38DNA retrieval 100%.
42:54Wow.
42:56My mother.
42:59Louise Alicia Miller.
43:0135 years old.
43:0215 when she gave birth to you.
43:04Records say her stepfather was...
43:07Well, he was trouble.
43:09I think she did the right thing getting you out of that house.
43:12She must have hidden the pregnancy.
43:14Father, William Benjamin Garnett.
43:1715 at the time.
43:19Louise moved to Coventry at the age of 18.
43:21Did well. Got a degree.
43:25She's a nurse.
43:26That's what I don't understand.
43:28She's so ordinary.
43:30She's wonderful.
43:31No, she's wonderful.
43:33And she's ordinary, but I love her for that.
43:35I just...
43:36How did she stay invisible from a god?
43:39She defeated Zutek.
43:40She was important.
43:43Because we think she's important.
43:45It's how everything happens.
43:47Every war, every religion, every love story.
43:50We invest things with significance.
43:53So while the whole of creation is turning around her,
43:57it made her sheer existence more powerful than time lords and gods.
44:03In the end, the most important person in the universe
44:06was the most ordinary.
44:10A scared little girl.
44:13Making her baby safe.
44:15But she pointed.
44:18She did.
44:19She pointed at you, Doctor.
44:21She wasn't pointing at me.
44:23Because we cleaned up the VHS.
44:25Behind me was that lamppost.
44:29So?
44:30It was a signpost.
44:33She was pointing at the name of the road.
44:37She was naming you.
44:45I always thought it was called Ruby because
44:47the social workers chose it,
44:49or the paramedics or whatever.
44:51But no, it was her.
44:55My own mother chose it.
44:59My name is Ruby.
45:12She's happy.
45:14She's got a flat.
45:16She's got a fella named Mike.
45:18She goes to Spain in three weeks.
45:26And the point is,
45:28is that she has had over 7,000 dates
45:32to come and find you, and she never has.
45:35I found her.
45:37With a time machine.
45:41Is that fair?
45:43Is that fair?
45:46Louise really made her choices.
45:50I think we should leave her alone.
46:07What can I get you?
46:09A cappuccino, please.
46:13Thank you.
46:43Ruby?
46:45That's me.
46:51I was named after a road.
46:54Ruby Road.
46:57You left me by a church.
47:0019 years ago.
47:02Oh, my God.
47:03You left me where I was safe.
47:06And I just want to say thank you.
47:09I'm so sorry.
47:13It's you.
47:39I always thought I should get in touch.
47:42Every Christmas, I thought, right, this is the year.
47:45Every Christmas, I thought, what if she hates me?
47:48There is no hatred in this house, darling.
47:51But what we have got is photos.
47:53Yeah?
47:54I've got about 500 proper photos.
47:56I printed them off.
48:12Come on.
48:19It won't be long.
48:20We're just going to catch up and a pizza
48:23and mum's set up a bed in Gran's room
48:25so Louise can stay the night.
48:27And then we can head off, you and me.
48:29Where to?
48:31Wherever you want.
48:35Ruby.
48:36Come out and join.
48:37I've told her so much about you.
48:38She knows everything.
48:39And...
48:41Sorry, leave that.
48:43And, no, I said life at the doctor is just mad.
48:46And...
48:48Hang on, I better...
48:52Oh, my God.
48:54They think they've found him.
48:56My dad, William, they think.
48:58Because it turns out his mum and dad still live at the same address.
49:01But she never told him.
49:02My mum.
49:03My real mum.
49:04So she never told Will about me.
49:06So he doesn't even know I exist.
49:08So we've got to go.
49:10Dad.
49:13I'm sorry.
49:19Don't be sorry.
49:27Don't be sorry at all.
49:30Your life is out there now.
49:35I've shown you monsters and planets, legends.
49:40But this...
49:44Honey, your adventures just begin here.
49:48You could go.
49:50I see you.
49:52But I don't...
49:58You don't do that to me.
50:05Will I ever see you again?
50:07Of course you will.
50:09Of course you will.
50:14Your own granddaughter.
50:16You left her and never went back.
50:19And that was my mistake.
50:23Maybe I'll find her again one day.
50:26But you, Ruby Sundate, I will see again.
50:31Because you changed me.
50:35I talk about family in a way that I never did before.
50:39It's because of you.
50:42You have made my life bigger and better.
50:49And now, Ruby Sundate...
50:55Goodbye.
51:04Goodbye.
51:19I love you.
51:34I love you.
52:04I love you.
52:22And that's how the story of the church on Ruby Road comes to an end.
52:28With a very happy ending for little Ruby Sundate.
52:37But life goes on, doesn't it?
52:39Ruthlessly.
52:41And what happens, you might wonder?
52:43Oh, what happens to that mysterious traveler in time and space known as the Doctor?
52:51I'm sorry to say his story ends in absolute terror.
52:55Night-night.
53:25To be continued...
53:55To be continued...
