Épisode Les anges pleureurs S03E10 - Doctor Who (2005) Saison 3

Résumé épisode 310 "Les anges pleureurs"

Londres, 2007. Une jeune femme blonde entre par effraction dans une vieille maison abandonnée du nom de Wester Drumlins. Elle est photographe et s'appelle Sally Sparrow. Elle commence à prendre des photos de la pièce dans laquelle elle se trouve. Voyant un "B" inscrit en dessous du papier peint abîmé, Sally l'arrache, voit d'autres lettres, et découvre un message : "Baissez-vous !". Sally arrache un peu plus de papier peint et le message continue : "Baissez-vous maintenant Sally Sparow !". Etonnée, Sally obéit quand même, et à cet instant précis, une pierre est jetée contre le mur. La suite du message lui dit de se méfier des anges pleureurs, et Sally, en regardant par la fenêtre, aperçoit une statue mais ne comprend pas ce qu'il vient de se passer.

Sally recommence alors à arracher le papier peint et l'auteur du message est révélé : il s'agit du Docteur. En 1969.

Assez perturbée par sa petite aventure, Sally se rend chez une amie, Kathy Nightingale. Dans l'appartement, la télé est allumée et l'on aperçoit à l'écran un homme parlant du Temps. L'homme dit aussi : "Ne clignez pas des yeux. Clignez des yeux et vous êtes morts". Soudain, un jeune homme tout nu, Larry, sort de l'une des chambres, encore endormi. Il demande à Sally qui le regarde étrangement s'il a mis son pantalon, plutôt gêné, mais se fait chasser par sa sœur, Kathy, qui le présente en des termes peu élogieux à son amie.

Le matin suivant, Sally et Kathy se rendent dans la mystérieuse maison. Kathy est très enthousiaste à cette idée de duo d'investigatrices, comparant leur équipe à une série TV policière d'ITV (l'une des chaînes rivales de la BBC en Angleterre). Sally montre à Kathy le message du Docteur et remarque que l'un des anges est plus proche de la maison. Quelqu'un sonne à la porte et Sally va ouvrir alors que Kathy reste dans une l'autre pièce.

L'homme sur le seuil de la maison est là pour remettre une lettre à Sally. La jeune femme lui demande comment il savait qu'elle serait là. Il lui demande sa carte d'identité pour être sûr qu'elle est bien Sally Sparrow. Pendant ce temps, Kathy observe l'échange mais la jeune femme entend bientôt des bruits étranges. Les anges se rapprochent, mais elle ne s'en aperçoit pas. Elle cligne des yeux...

L'homme à la lettre confie à Sally qu'il a promit à sa grand-mère de lui remettre ce pli à cette date et à cette heure précise. Sa grand-mère s'appelait Katherine Wainwright et son nom de jeune fille était Nightingale. Cela surprend Sally et elle ouvre la lettre. La jeune femme y trouve des photos de son amie, de plus en plus âgée. Sally croit que c'est une plaisanterie et l'appelle mais personne ne répond.

Kathy, elle, se retrouve soudain dans un champ en pleine campagne, au milieu de nulle part. Elle demande où elle est à un jeune homme tranquillement assis non loin, qui lui répond qu'elle est à Hull. Kathy ne le croit pas alors il lui montre le journal, ce qui permet à la jeune femme de voir qu'elle n'est non seulement plus à Londres mais qu'elle se retrouve en 1920 sans savoir comment.

Le petit-fils de Kathy ayant prit la fuite, Sally se retrouve seule avec la lettre de son amie qui date de 1987. Kathy lui explique qu'elle a mené une longue et belle vie. Elle a épousé Ben, un homme bon, le premier qu'elle aie rencontré en 1920, avan sa mort. Elle lui dit aussi d'aller trouver son frère et de lui dire qu'elle l'aime. Sally est de plus en plus perdue et intriguée. A l'étage, la jeune femme découvre d'autres anges dont l'un tenant une clé.

Larry travaille dans un magasin de DVD et regarde toujours un enregistrement des avertissements du Docteur sans savoir de quoi il s'agit réellement. Lorsque Sally arrive il l'informe que cette vidéo est un "oeuf de Pâques" ("easter egg"), un message caché, comme un bonus. On retrouve celui-ci sur dix-sept DVD différents. Même l'usine ignore comment ils se sont retrouvés là. Larry donne à Sally une liste des DVD. L'une des remarques du collègue de Larry lui donne une idée. Sally se rend alors au bureau de police.

En entendant le nom de la maison, l'agent de police auquel Sally vient de parler appelle un supérieur, l'inspecteur Shipton. Tout de suite, quelque chose se produit entre les deux jeunes gens. L'inspecteur chargé de l'affaire, Billy, explique à Sally que de mystérieuses disparitions ont eu lieu autour de cette maison. Il lui montre les voitures des gens ayant disparus. Il y en a un garage entier, ainsi qu'une étrange cabine téléphonique de police bleue, avec une serrure que rien ne peut ouvrir. Billy réussi à obtenir le numéro de téléphone de Sally mais alors que la jeune femme vient de partir, le policier se retourne et voit des statues d'anges pleureurs entourant la boîte bleue. Billy cligne des yeux...

Dehors, la pluie continue de tomber et Sally se souvient de la clé qu'elle a trouvée dans la maison et qui pourrait peut-être ouvrir la cabine. Mais lorsqu'elle retourne au garage, Billy et le Tardis ont disparu.

Billy a été envoyé dans le passé, à la même époque que le Docteur et Martha, qu'il rencontre. Ils l'informent qu'il est désormais en 1969, à cause de la caresse d'un ange plutôt spécial. Le Docteur lui parle alors des anges pleureurs, des entités qui envoient leurs victimes dans le passé pour qu'ils puissent vivre leur vie jusqu'à leur mort. Ils se nourrissent de l'énergie potentielle des jours de leurs victimes. Le Seigneur du temps demande à Billy de donner un message à Sally et lui demande pardon, car cela lui prendra beaucoup de temps. En effet, n'ayant aucun moyen de retourner à son époque, l'inspecteur devra vivre toutes les années qui le séparent de son époque.

Dans le présent, Sally reçoit un coup de téléphone. Elle va rendre visite à Billy, désormais vieux et dans un lit d'hôpital. Le message du Docteur est de regarder la liste de DVD. Billy n'est pas resté policier en 1969, il a travaillé dans l'édition de vidéos, puis de DVD. C'est lui qui a caché les easter eggs. Il lui dit aussi qu'elle comprendra un jour, mais pas lui. Le Docteur lui a confié que ce serait la dernière fois où ils se verraient, le jour de sa mort. Sally reste avec son ami jusqu'à son dernier souffle. Puis elle regarde la liste et téléphone à Larry.

Tous ces DVD ont un point commun : elle. Ils font tous partie de sa collection. Les easters eggs ont bien été caché pour elle. Elle demande à Larry d'amener un lecteur de DVD portable à la vieille maison. Les deux amis entendent le message complet, mais cette fois, le Docteur semble répondre à leurs questions, ou plutôt à celles de Sally. Larry lui explique qu'il dit toujours la même chose et lui montre une transcription qu'il a faite. Mais comme Sally semble, par ses questions, compléter la conversation du Docteur, Larry, très enthousiaste, complète son texte.

Le Docteur explique qu'il a une copie du texte et que c'est ainsi qu'il sait ce qu'elle va dire. Il les avertit que les anges pleureurs sont incroyablement rapides et peuvent envoyer leurs victimes dans le passé, ce qui a été son cas. Il est coincé en 1969, avec Martha, qui n'est pas ravie du tout. Lorsqu'on regarde ces anges, ils sont de pierre, car on ne peut tuer une pierre. Ils restent sous forme de statue jusqu'à ce qu'on regarde ailleurs, alors ils nous touchent et nous expédient à une autre époque. Les anges ne pleurent pas, ils ne peuvent pas se regarder l'un l'autre, sous peine de se transformer en pierre pour de bon.

Sally se rend compte que des anges sont toujours présents dans la maison et que ni elle, ni Larry ne les regardent. Elle confie cette tâche à Larry et le message du Docteur continue. Les anges veulent sa machine à remonter le temps, pour en absorber l'énergie. Comme elle en a la clé, c'est elle qu'ils poursuivent désormais. Le Seigneur du temps demande à la jeune femme de lui renvoyer le Tardis en 1969. Elle lui demande comment, mais le transcript est terminé. Larry a arrêté d'écrire pour se concentrer sur les anges. Il lui rappelle de ne pas quitter les anges des yeux, de ne même pas cligner des yeux. "Clignez des yeux et vous êtes morts !".

Sally et Larry se rendent compte qu'ils ont tous deux arrêté de regarder les anges. Celui du jardin est à deux pas d'eux, prêt à bondir sur ses proies. Sally demande à Larry de le regarder pendant qu'elle cherche une sortie. Alors qu'elle essaie toutes les portes de la maisons, Larry, sans quitter l'ange des yeux, au prix d'un immense effort, réussit à sortir de la pièce.

Sally trouve enfin une porte ouverte, menant à la cave, où se trouve le Tardis, entouré par des anges. Alors que les deux jeunes gens se frayent un passage jusqu'à la machine à remonter le temps, l'un des anges sabote l'électricité. L'éclairage commence à baisser et comme Sally et Larry ne peuvent plus les voir, les anges s'approchent dangereusement. Au dernier moment, les deux amis réussissent à entrer dans le Tardis.

A l'intérieur du Tardis, le protocole 712 est activé. Un hologramme du Docteur apparaît et dit que le Tardis a détecté un disque de contrôle autorisé, valide pour un voyage seulement. Il s'agit d'un des DVD de Larry, et qui commence à briller. Les anges commencent à secouer le vaisseau gallifréen mais Larry réussit à glisser son disque dans la console du Tardis et ce dernier se dématérialise mais sans les deux jeunes gens.

Sally hurle, demandant au Docteur de les aider, mais le Tardis les abandonne, encerclés par les anges. La jeune femme dit à Larry de continuer à les regarder mais le jeune homme réalise que cela faisait partie du plan du Docteur. Il les a piégé. Les anges, n'ayant plus le Tardis entre eux, se regardent eux-mêmes. Ils sont redevenus de simples statues de pierre.

Un an plus tard, Sally et Larry sont propriétaires d'un magasins de DVD, mais la jeune femme n'arrive pas à oublier ses aventures, pensant toujours au Docteur. Alors que Larry est allé cherché du lait, elle aperçoit soudain une voiture s'arrêter devant le magasin et le Docteur et Martha en sortir, l'air pressé. Sally court à leur rencontre mais le Docteur ne la reconnaît pas et lui explique gentiment qu'il n'a pas le temps de parler. En effet, ils sont à la poursuite d'une créature.

Sally réalise que le Docteur, étant un voyageur du temps, ne l'a pas encore rencontrée. S'il avait toutes ces informations, c'était grâce à elle. Sally lui fait un bref rapport et lui donne tous les éléments qu'elle a rassemblé au cours de son aventure : le transcript, la lettre de Kathy, des photos... Larry arrive à ce moment et est sous le choc. Sally le regarde, amusée, et prend sa main dans la sienne en disant au revoir au Docteur. Ce dernier sourit au jeune couple avant de rejoindre Martha.

Script VO épisode 310 "Blink"

EXT. A PRIVATE PROPERTY

At night, a woman jumps a fence leading onto a private property and looks around so as to see if she was caught. The camera pulls back to show a sign on the fence that reads "Danger keep out".

INT. THE PRIVATE PROPERTY

After kicking in some boards and getting into the house, the woman begins to look around the main floor with a torch, taking the occasional picture. She notices a place on the wall where the paper has begun peeling and reaches up to tear it back, first finding the word "Beware". Pulling back more, "The Weeping angel" is revealed and, as she pulls back even more, "Oh, and duck ! Really duck !". She pulls back even more, starting at the sight of her name on the wall, "Sally Sparrow". Pulling back what seems to be the last strip, it says, "Duck, now".

As she hears glass break, she ducks and a large stone hits the wall where her head was. She looks at the stone with disbelief and turns to the window, using her torch in an attempt to find the culprit, seeing only a Weeping Angel statue. She moves toward the window, but returns to the was and removes the last strip of paper. "Love from the Doctor (1969)".

OPENING CREDITS

INT. KATHY'S NIGHTINGALE FLAT

Climbing a flight of stairs, Sally calls out.

SALLY : Kathy ?

In a room visible down the corridor, the Doctor can be seen on a monitor.

DOCTOR (on monitor) : Your life could depend on this. Don't blink ! Don't even blink. Blink and you're dead. They are fast, faster than you can believe. Don't turn your back, don't look away, and don't blink. Good luck.

Sally approaches the monitors as he speaks, the video stopping as she steps into the doorway. The looks around to see various screens with the Doctor and Martha on them. A mobile rings as a woman sleeps, waking her. She answers it.

KATHY : Hello ?

SALLY : Bit freaked. Need to talk. Making you a coffee.

KATHY : Sally Sparrow, it's one in the morning. You think I'm coming round at one in the morning ?

SALLY : No. I'm in the kitchen. What's that on all those screens in your front room ?

KATHY : Oh, God ! Oh, God ! Sally, you've met my brother Larry, haven't you ?

SALLY : No.

KATHY : You're about to.

LARRY : Okay. Not sure, but really, really hoping. (points down) Pants ?

SALLY : No.

KATHY : Put them on ! Put them on ! I hate you ! What're you thinking ?! Sorry. My useless brother. Sally ? What's wrong ? What's happened ?

IN THE PRIVATE PROPERTY

KATHY : Okay ! Let's investigate ! You and me, girl investigators. Love it ! Hey ! Sparrow and Nightingale ! That so works !

SALLY : Bit ITV.

KATHY : I know! What did you come here for, anyway ?

SALLY : I love old things. They make me feel sad.

KATHY : What's good about sad ?

SALLY : It's happy for deep people.

Sally and Kathy stand outside, looking at the weeping Angel statue.

SALLY : The Weeping Angel.

KATHY : Not goin' in my garden.

SALLY : It's moved.

KATHY : It's what ?

SALLY : Since yesterday. I'm sure of it. It's closer. It's got closer to the house.

Sally walks along the wall where she tore the paper off.

SALLY : How can my name be written here ? How is that possible ?

The doorbell rings.

KATHY : Who'd come here ? What are you doing ?! It could be a burglar !

SALLY : A burglar who rings the doorbell ?

KATHY : Okay. I'll stay here in case of...

SALLY : In case of... ?

KATHY : ... incidents ?

Sally answers the door to find a man, Malcolm.

MALCOLM : I'm looking for Sally Sparrow.

SALLY : How did you know I'd be here ?

MALCOLM : I was told to bring this letter on this date at this exact time to Sally Sparrow.

SALLY : Looks old.

MALCOLM : It is old. I'm sorry, do you have anything with a photograph on it, like a driving licence ?

Kathy walks around to the quiet sound of Sally and Malcolm in the background. She looks at the Weeping Angel, eyes still covering its face, but when she turns away its hands have moved lower, over its mouth.

SALLY : How did he know I was coming here ? I didn't tell anyone. How could anyone have known ?

MALCOLM : It's all a bit complicated. I'm not sure I understand it myself. I'm sorry, I feel really stupid, but I was told to make absolutely sure. It's so hard to tell with these little photographs, isn't it ?

SALLY : Apparently.

Kathy watches them through a mirror as the Weeping Angel moves more.

MALCOLM : Well, here goes, I suppose. Funny feeling, after all these years.

SALLY : Who's it from ?

MALCOLM : Well, that's a long story, actually.

SALLY : Gimme a name.

The Weeping Angel is just behind Kathy, reaching out a hand to Kathy.

MALCOLM : Katherine Wainwright. But she specified I should tell you that prior to marriage she was called Kathy Nightingale.

A loud noise sounds from where Kathy was.

SALLY : Kathy ?

MALCOLM : Kathy, yes. Katherine Costello Nightingale.

SALLY : Is this a joke ?

MALCOLM : A joke ?!

SALLY : Kathy, is this you ?

Sally starts walking around, looking for Kathy.

SALLY : Very funny. Kathy ?

Kathy stands up in the middle of a field to the sound of mooing cattle and several of the animals in the background.

SALLY : Kathy ?! Kathy !?

MALCOLM : Please, you need to take this. I promised.

EXT. COUNTRYSIDE 1920

Kathy approaches a man.

KATHY : Excuse me ? Where am I ? I was in London. I was in the middle of London.

BEN : You're in Hull.

KATHY : No, I'm not.

BEN : This is Hull.

KATHY : No, it isn't.

BEN : You're in Hull.

KATHY : I'm not in Hull. Stop saying Hull.

INT. PRIVATE PROPERTY

SALLY : Who are you ? Why are you here ?

MALCOLM : I made a promise.

SALLY : Who to ?

MALCOLM : My grandmother. Katherine Costello Nightingale.

EXT. COUNTRYSIDE 1920

BEN : Don't have that in London. There's no call for it. It's all Hull.

Ben passes Kathy his paper, clearly dated as 5th December, 1920.

KATHY : 1920 ?

INT. PRIVATE PROPERTY

SALLY : Your grandmother ?

MALCOLM : Yes. She died twenty years ago.

Sally takes the parcel he's offered her and opens it, looking through the pictures of Kathy.

SALLY : So they're related ?

MALCOLM : I'm sorry ?

SALLY : My Kathy, your grandmother, they're practically identical.

EXT. COUNTRYSIDE

BEN : Where are you going ?

INT. PRIVATE PROPERTY

KATHY (letter) : "My dearest Sally Sparrow, if my grandson has done as he promises he will, then as you read these words it has been mere minutes since we last spoke. For you. For me, it has been over 60 years. The third of the photographs is of my children. The youngest is Sally. I named her after you, of course."

SALLY : This is sick ! This is totally sick ! Kathy ? Kathy ! Kathy ?

Sally runs up the stairs as she yells, slowing at the top. Several Weeping Angel statues are arranged in the area. There's the sound of wings and she turns to see another statue. One of the Weeping Angels is holding a key on a thin rope of twine and as Sally crouches to look, the angel behind her moves it's hands. The door of the house closes.

SALLY : No, wait ! Hang on !

Sally runs off, the Weeping angel that was holding the key now holding it's arm outstretched. Malcolm makes his way from the house hastily. Sally reaches the bottom of the stairs and picks up Kathy's letter. She runs out of the house, looking both ways for Malcolm before walking away, the camera lingering on the Weeping Angels that watch her from the windows. Later, Sally sits in a cafe, reading the letter.

INT CAFE

KATHY (letter) : I suppose, unless I live to a really exceptional old age, I will be long gone as you read this. Don't feel sorry for me. I have led a good and full life. I've loved a good man and been well loved in return. You would have liked Ben. He was the very first person I met in 1920.

EXT. COUNTRYSIDE

KATHY : Are you following me ?

BEN : Yeah.

KATHY : Are you gonna stop following me ?

BEN : No, I don't think so.

EXT. CEMETERY

Sally walks through a cemetery, crouching at Kathy's gravestone.

KATHY (letter) : To take one breath in 2007 and the next in 1920 is a strange way to start a new life, but a new life is exactly what I've always wanted.

SALLY : 1902 ? You told him you were eighteen ? You lying cow !

A statue watches her leave the cemetery.

KATHY (letter) : My mum and dad are gone by your time, so really there's only Lawrence to tell. He works at the DVD store on Queen Street. I don't know what you're going to say to him, but I know you'll think of something. Just tell him I love him.

DVD STORE

SALLY : Excuse me, I'm looking for Lawrence Nightingale.

BANTO : Through the back.

SALLY : Hello ?

DOCTOR (on monitor) : Martha !

MARTHA (on monitor) : Sorry.

DOCTOR : Quite possibly. 'Fraid so.

LARRY : Oh. Hello. Can I help you ?

SALLY : Hi.

DOCTOR : 38.

LARRY : Er, just a mo. (pauses the monitor) Hang on. We've met, haven't we ?

SALLY : It'll come to you.

LARRY : Oh, my God !

SALLY : There it is.

LARRY : Sorry. Sorry again about the whole...

SALLY : Message from your sister.

LARRY : Oh ! Okay ! What ? What is it ? What's the message ?

SALLY : She's had to go away for a bit.

LARRY : Where ?

SALLY : Just a work thing. Nothing to worry about.

LARRY : Okay.

SALLY : And...

LARRY : And what ?

SALLY : She loves you.

LARRY : She what ?!

SALLY : She said to say. She just sort of mentioned it. She loves you. There, that's nice, isn't it ?

LARRY : Is she ill ?

SALLY : No ! No.

LARRY : Am I ill ?

SALLY : No !

LARRY : Is this a trick ?

SALLY : No. She loves you.

DOCTOR : Yeh... yeah. People don't understand time. It's not what you think it is.

SALLY : Who is this guy ?

LARRY : Sorry, the pause thing keeps slipping. Stupid thing.

SALLY : Last night at Kathy's, you had him on those screens. That same guy. Talking about, I dunno, blinking or something.

LARRY : Yeah, the bit about the blinking is great ! I was checking to see if they were all the same.

SALLY : What were the same ? What is this ? Who is he ?

LARRY : An Easter egg.

SALLY : Excuse me ?

LARRY : Like a DVD extra, yeah ? You know how on DVDs they put extras on, documentaries and stuff ? Well, ometimes they put on hidden ones, and they call them Easter eggs. You have to look for them, follow a bunch of clues in the menu screen.

DOCTOR : Complicated.

LARRY : Sorry. It's interesting, actually. He is on seventeen different DVDs. There are seventeen totally unrelated DVDs, all with him on, always hidden away, always a secret. Not even the publishers know how he got there. I've talked to the manufacturers, right ? They don't even know. He's like... he's a ghost DVD extra. Just shows up where he's not supposed to be. But only on those. Those seventeen.

SALLY : Well, what does he do ?

LARRY : Just sits there making random remarks. It's like we're hearing half a conversation. Me and the guys are always trying to work out the other half.

SALLY : When you say you and the guys, you mean the internet, don't you ?

LARRY : How d'you know ?

SALLY : Spooky, isn't it ?

DOCTOR : Very complicated.

BANTO : Lawrence ? Need you !

LARRY : 'Scuse me a sec.

DOCTOR : People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint, it's more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey stuff.

SALLY : Started well, that sentence.

DOCTOR : It got away from me, yeah.

SALLY : Okay, that was weird. Like you can hear me.

DOCTOR : Well, I can hear you.

SALLY : Okay, that's enough. I've had enough now. I've had a long day and I've had bloody enough ! Sorry. Bad day.

LARRY : Got you the list.

SALLY : What ?

LARRY : The seventeen DVDs. I thought you might be interested.

SALLY : Yeah, great, thanks !

BANTO (looking TV) : Go to the police, you stupid woman ! Why does nobody ever just go to the police ?

SALLY : Look, I know how mad I'm sounding.

INT. POLICE STATION

DESK SARGEANT : Shall we try it from the beginning this time ?

SALLY : Okay. There's this house, a big old house, been empty for years, falling apart. Wester Drumlins, out by the estate. You've probably seen it.

DESK SARGEANT : Wester Drumlin ?

SALLY : Yes.

DESK SARGEANT : Could you just wait here for a minute ?

Sally looks out the window to see two Weeping Angels. She blinks and they are gone.

SALLY : Okay, cracking up now.

BILLY SHIPTON : Hi. DI Billy Shipton. Wester Drumlins, that's mine. Can't talk to you now, got a thing I can't be late for, so if you could just... Hello !

SALLY : Hello.

BILLY : Eh, Marcie, can you tell them I'm gonna be late for that thing ?

SALLY : All of them ?

BILLY : Over the last two years, yeah. They all still have personal items in them and a couple still had the motor running.

SALLY : So over the last two years the owners of all of these vehicles have driven up to Wester Drumlins House, parked outside and just disappeared.

Sally sees the TARDIS.

SALLY : What's that ?

BILLY : Ah ! The pride of the Wester Drumlins collection. We found that there, too. Somebody's idea of a joke, I suppose.

SALLY : But what is it ? What's a police box ?

BILLY : Well, it's a special kind of phone box for policemen. They used to have them all over. But this isn't a real one. The phone's just a dummy, and the windows are the wrong size. We can't even get in it. Ordinary Yale lock, but nothing fits. But that's not the big question. See, you're missing the big question.

SALLY : Okay, what's the big question ?

BILLY : Will you have a drink with me ?

SALLY : I'm sorry ?

BILLY : Drink, you, me, now ?

SALLY : Aren't you on duty, Detective Inspector Shipton ?

BILLY : Nope. Knocked off before I left. Told 'em I had a family crisis.

SALLY : Why ?

BILLY : Because life is short and you are hot. Drink ?

SALLY : No.

BILLY : Ever ?

SALLY : Maybe.

BILLY : Phone number ?

SALLY : Moving kind of fast, DI Shipton.

BILLY : Billy. I'm off duty.

SALLY : Aren't you just !

BILLY : Is that your phone number ?

SALLY : Just my phone number. Not a promise. Not a guarantee. Not an IOU. Just a phone number.

BILLY : And that's Sally...?

SALLY : Sally Shipton. Sparrow ! Sally Sparrow. I'm going now. Don't look at me.

BILLY : I'll phone you !

SALLY : Don't look at me.

BILLY : Phone you tomorrow.

SALLY : Don't look at me.

BILLY : Might even phone you tonight.

SALLY : Don't look at me !

BILLY : Definitely gonna phone you, gorgeous girl !

SALLY : You definitely better !

Billy looks over to see the Weeping Angels around the TARDIS. He walks around to investigate it and blinks. Sally leaves the building, looking around. She hurries across the street and pulls the key that she took from the Weeping Angel out of her pocket.

BILLY : Ordinary Yale lock, but nothing fits.

Sally hurries back in to find Billy and the TARDIS gone. Billy hits back against a wall, falling to the ground.

EXT. PAST 1969

DOCTOR : Welcome.

BILLY : Where am I ?

The Doctor and Martha approach, the Doctor holding a device that clicks and beeps.

DOCTOR : 1969. Not bad,as it goes. You've got the moon landing to look forward to.

MARTHA : Oh, the moon landing's brilliant. We went four times. Back when we had transport...

DOCTOR : Working on it !

BILLY : How did I get here ?

DOCTOR : The same way we did. The touch of an angel. Same one, probably, since you ended up in the same year. No no no no no, don't get up. Time travel without a capsule, nasty. Catch your breath, don't go swimming for half an hour.

BILLY : I don't. I can't.

DOCTOR : Fascinating race, the Weeping Angels. The only psychopaths in the universe to kill you nicely. No mess, no fuss, they just zap you into the past and let you live to death. The rest of your life used up and blown away in the blink of an eye. You die in the past, and in the present they consume the energy of all the days you might have had, all your stolen moments. They're creatures of the abstract. They live off potential energy.

BILLY : What in God's name are you talking about ?

MARTHA : Trust me. Just nod when he stops for breath.

DOCTOR : Tracked you down with this. This is my timey-wimey detector. It goes ding when there's stuff. Also, it can boil an egg at 30 paces, whether you want it to or not, actually, so I've learned to stay away from hens. It's not pretty when they blow.

BILLY : I don't understand. Where am I ?

MARTHA : 1969, like he says.

DOCTOR : Normally, I'd offer you a lift home, but somebody nicked my motor. So I need you to take a message to Sally Sparrow. And I'm sorry, Billy, I am very, very sorry. It's gonna take you a while.

PRESENT

Sally's mobile rings.

SALLY : Hello ? Billy, where are you ? Where ?

Sally walks in hospital.

INT. HOSPITAL, BILLY'S ROOM

SALLY : Billy ?

Sally turns away. Billy wakes up. He is a old man.

BILLY : It was raining when we met.

SALLY : It's the same rain.

A bit later, Sally is looking a picture of Billy and a woman on their wedding day.

SALLY : She looks nice.

BILLY : Her name was Sally, too.

SALLY : Sally Shipton.

BILLY : Sally Shipton ! I often thought about looking for you before tonight, but apparently it would've torn a hole in the fabric of space and time and destroyed two thirds of the universe. Also I'd lost my hair.

SALLY : Two thirds of the universe. Where'd you get that ?

BILLY : There's a man in 1969. He sent me with a message for you.

SALLY : What man ?

BILLY : The Doctor.

SALLY : And what was the message ?

BILLY : Just this : Look at the list.

SALLY : What does that mean ? Is that it, look at the list ?

BILLY : He said you'd have it by now. A list of seventeen DVDs. I didn't stay a policeman back then. Got into publishing. Then video publishing. Then DVDs, of course.

SALLY : You put the Easter Egg on ?

BILLY : Have you noticed what all seventeen DVDs have in common yet ? I suppose it's hard for you, in a way.

SALLY : How could the Doctor have even known I had a list ? I only just got this.

BILLY : I asked him how, but he said he couldn't tell me. He said you'd understand it one day, but that I never would.

SALLY : Soon as I understand it, I'll come and tell you.

BILLY : No, gorgeous girl, you can't. There's only tonight. He told me all those years ago that we'd only meet again this one time. On the night I die.

SALLY : Oh, Billy.

BILLY : It's kept me going. I'm an old, sick man. But I've had something to look forward to. Ah, life is long. And you are hot. Oh, look at my hands. They're old man's hands. How did that happen ?

SALLY : I'll stay. I'm going to stay with you. Okay ?

BILLY : Thank you, Sally Sparrow. I have 'til the rain stops.

DVDs STORE

Phone rings.

LARRY : Banto's.

SALLY : They're mine.

LARRY : What ?

SALLY : The DVDs on the list. The seventeen DVDs. What they've got in common is me. They're all the DVDs I own. The Easter Egg was intended for me !

LARRY : You've only got seventeen DVDs ?

SALLY : Do you have a portable DVD player ?

LARRY : Course, why ?

SALLY : I want you to meet me.

LARRY : Where ?

SALLY : Wester Drumlins.

LARRY : You live in Scooby Doo's house.

SALLY : For God's sake, I don't live here.

LARRY : Okay, this is the one with the clearest sound. Slightly better picture quality on this one, but I don't...

SALLY : Doesn't matter.

INT. PRIVATE PROPERTY

LARRY : Okay. There he is.

SALLY : The Doctor.

LARRY : Who's the Doctor ?

SALLY : He's the Doctor.

DOCTOR (on monitor) : Yep. That's me.

SALLY : Okay, that was scary.

LARRY : No, it sounds like he's replying, but he always says that.

DOCTOR : Yes, I do.

LARRY : And that.

DOCTOR : Yep, and this.

SALLY : He can hear us. Oh, my God, you can really hear us !

LARRY : Of course he can't hear us. Look ! I've got a transcript, see, everything he says. "Yep, that's me". "Yes, I do". "Yep, and this". Next it's...

DOCTOR AND LARRY : Are you going to read out the whole thing ?

LARRY : Sorry.

SALLY : Who are you ?

DOCTOR : I'm a time traveller. Or I was. I'm stuck in 1969.

MARTHA (on monitor, moving into frame) : We're stuck. All of space and time, he promised me. Now I've got a job in a shop, I've got to support him !

DOCTOR : Martha !

MARTHA (moving out of frame) : Sorry.

SALLY : I've seen this bit before.

DOCTOR : Quite possibly.

SALLY : 1969, that's where you're talking from ?

DOCTOR : 'Fraid so.

SALLY : But you're replying to me. You can't know exactly what I'm gonna say, 40 years before I say it !

DOCTOR : 38.

LARRY : I'm getting this down ! I'm writing in your bits.

SALLY : How ? How is this possible ? Tell me !

LARRY : Not so fast.

DOCTOR : People don't understand time. It's not what you think it is.

SALLY : Then what is it ?

DOCTOR : Complicated.

SALLY : Tell me.

DOCTOR : Very complicated.

SALLY : I'm clever and I'm listening. And don't patronise me because people have died, and I'm not happy. Tell me.

DOCTOR : People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint, it's more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey stuff.

SALLY : Yeah, I've seen this bit before. You said that sentence got away from you.

DOCTOR : It got away from me, yeah.

SALLY : Next thing you're going to say is, "Well, I can hear you".

DOCTOR : Well, I can hear you.

SALLY : This isn't possible.

LARRY : No. It's brilliant !

DOCTOR : Not hear you exactly, but I know everything you're going to say.

LARRY : Always gives me the shivers, that bit.

SALLY : How can you know what I'm going to say ?

DOCTOR : Look to your left.

LARRY : What does he mean by, "Look to your left" ? I've written tons about that on the forums. I think it's a political statement.

SALLY : He means you. What are you doing ?

LARRY : I'm writing in your bits. So I've got a complete transcript of the whole conversation. Wait until this hits the net. This will explode the egg forums.

DOCTOR : I've got a copy of the finished transcript. It's on my Autocue.

SALLY : How can you have a copy of the finished transcript ? It is still being written.

DOCTOR : I told you. I'm a time traveller. I got it in the future.

SALLY : Okay, let me get my head 'round this. You're reading from a transcript of a conversation you're still having ? Wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey. Actually, never mind that. (To Larry) : You can do shorthand ?

LARRY : So ?

DOCTOR : What matters is we can communicate. We have got big problems now. They've taken the blue box, haven't they ? The angels have the phone box.

LARRY : The angels have the phone box ! That's my favourite, I've got it on a tee-shirt !

SALLY : What do you mean, angels ? You mean those statue things ?

DOCTOR : Creatures from another world.

SALLY : But they're just statues.

DOCTOR : Only when you see them.

SALLY : What does that mean ?

DOCTOR : Lonely assassins, they were called. No-one knows where they came from. They're as old as the universe, or very nearly. They've survived this long as they have the most perfect defence system ever evolved. They are quantum-locked. They don't exist when being observed. The moment they're seen by any other living creature they freeze into rock. No choice. It's a fact of their biology. In the sight of any living thing, they literally turn to stone. And you can't kill a stone. Course, a stone can't kill you either. But then you turn your head away, then you blink, and oh, yes it can !

SALLY : Don't take your eyes off that.

DOCTOR : That's why they cover their eyes. They're not weeping, they can't risk looking at each other. Their greatest asset is their greatest curse. They can never be seen. The loneliest creatures in the universe. And I'm sorry, I am very, very sorry, it's up to you now.

SALLY : What am I supposed to do ?

DOCTOR : The blue box, it's my time machine. There is a world of time energy in there they could feast on forever. The damage they can do can switch off the sun. You have got to send it back to me !

SALLY : How ? How ?

DOCTOR : And that's it, I'm afraid. There's no more from you on the transcript, that's all I've got. I dunno what stopped you talking, but I can guess. They're coming. The angels are coming for you. But listen, your life could depend on this. Don't blink ! Don't even blink. Blink and you're dead. They are fast, faster than you can believe. Don't turn your back, don't look away, and don't blink ! Good luck !

SALLY : No, don't, you can't !

LARRY : I'll rewind him !

SALLY : What good would that do ?! You're not looking at the statue ?

LARRY : Neither are you.

They look to see the statue is far closer, it's face distorted.

SALLY : Keep looking at it. Keep looking at it !

LARRY : There's just one, right, there's just this one. We're okay if we keep staring at this one statue, everything's gonna be fine.

SALLY : There's three more.

LARRY : Three ?!

SALLY : They were upstairs, I think I heard them moving.

LARRY : Where ? Three, moving where ?

SALLY : I'll look around, I'm going to check. Keep looking at this one, don't blink. Remember what he said, don't even blink !

LARRY : Who blinks ? I'm too scared to blink.

SALLY : Okay. We're going to the door. Front door. Okay. We can't both get to the front door without taking our eyes off that thing. You stay here.

LARRY : What ?!

SALLY : I'll be just round the corner, stay here ! They've locked it. They've locked us in !

LARRY : Why ?

SALLY : I've got something they want.

LARRY : What ?

SALLY : The key, I took it last time I was here. They followed me to get it back. I led them to the blue box. Now they've got that !

LARRY : Give them the key !

SALLY : I'm gonna check the back door, you wait here.

LARRY : Give them the key, give them what they want ! Sally, no, what if they come behind me ?!

SALLY : Hang on !

LARRY : Oh, God ! Oh, God !

SALLY : It's locked !

Larry looks away from the Weeping Angel briefly and it advances on him. He looks back barely in time.

LARRY : Sally ! Sally !

SALLY : It won't open !

LARRY : Sally, please, I can't do this ! Sally, hurry up ! Where are you ?!

SALLY : Larry ! They've blocked off the back door, but there's a cellar. There might be a way out, delivery hatch or something.

LARRY : I'm coming ! I can't stay here.

SALLY : Okay, boys, I know how this works. You can't move so long as I can see you. Whole world in the box, the Doctor says. Hope he's not lying, 'cause I don't see how else we're getting out. Oh, and there's your one.

LARRY : Why's it pointing at the... light ?

The light flickers.

SALLY : Oh, my God ! It's turning out the lights !

LARRY : Quickly !

SALLY : I can't find the lock !

LARRY : Sally, hurry up ! Get it open ! They're getting faster, Sally, come on !

SALLY : It won't turn !

LARRY : Sally !

They get into the TARDIS, the Weeping Angels surrounding the ship as they close the doors. A blue, holographic Doctor appears on the high deck.

DOCTOR : This is security protocol 712. This time capsule has detected the presence of an authorised control disc, valid one journey.

Larry opens a DVD case and the disc glows.

DOCTOR : Please insert the disc and prepare for departure.

SALLY : Looks like a DVD player. There's a slot.

The Angels rock the TARDIS.

LARRY : They're trying to get in !

SALLY : Well, hurry up then !

The TARDIS begins to dematerialise around them.

LARRY : What's happening ?

SALLY : Oh, my God ! It's leaving us behind ! Doctor, no, you can't ! Doctor !

Larry and Sally huddle on the floor where the TARDIS was.

SALLY : Look at them ! Quick, look at them !

LARRY : I don't think we need to. He tricked them, The Doctor tricked them. They're looking at each other. They're never gonna move again.

ONE YEAR LATER

LARRY : Can you mind the shop ? I'm just nipping next door for some milk.

SALLY : Yeah, no worries.

LARRY : What's this ?

SALLY : Nothing.

LARRY : Sally ! Can't you let it go ?

SALLY : Of course I can't let it go !

LARRY : This is over.

SALLY : How did the Doctor know where to write the words on the wall ? How could he get the transcript ? Where did he get all that information from ?

LARRY : Look, some things you never find out. And that's okay.

SALLY : No, it isn't.

LARRY : Ever think this might be getting in the way of... other things ?

SALLY : We just run a shop together. That's all it is, just a shop.

LARRY : Anyway... milk. Back in a mo.

Larry heads out. Sally looks out the window to see the Doctor and Martha climb out of a taxicab and runs out.

SALLY : Doctor ! Doctor ! Doctor !

DOCTOR : Hello ! Sorry, bit of a rush, there's a sort of thing happening, fairly important we stop it.

SALLY : My God, it's you, it really is you. Oh, you don't remember me, do you ?

MARTHA : We don't have time for this. Migration's started.

DOCTOR : Look, sorry, I've got a bit of a complex life. Things don't always happen to me in order. Gets confusing, especially at weddings, I'm rubbish at weddings, especially my own.

SALLY : Oh, my God ! Of course, you're a time traveller. It hasn't happened yet ! None of it, it's still in your future !

DOCTOR : What hasn't happened ?

MARTHA : Doctor ! Twenty minutes to red hatching !

SALLY : It was me. Oh, for God's sake, it was me all along. You got it all from me !

DOCTOR : Got what ?

SALLY : Okay. Listen. One day you're going to get stuck in 1969. Make sure you've got this with you. You're going to need it.

MARTHA : Doctor !

DOCTOR : Yeah, listen, listen, got to dash... things happening. Well, four things. Well, four things and a lizard.

SALLY : Okay. No worries, on you go. See you around, some day.

DOCTOR : What was your name ?

SALLY : Sally Sparrow.

DOCTOR : Good to meet you, Sally Sparrow.

Larry walks up and looks at the Doctor, obviously dumbstruck. Sally takes his hand.

SALLY : Goodbye, Doctor.

Sally turns and leads Larry into the shop, arms around one another. The Doctor turns and hurries off with a final fond look at Sally.

DOCTOR : Don't blink ! Blink and you're dead ! Don't turn your back. Don't look away. And don't blink ! Good luck !
