Alors que le Maître veut qu’elle le suive, la Docteur se demande ce qu’il fait là et comment il a connecté Gallifrey au portail. Il la force à le suivre sur Gallifrey en menaçant de rétrécir ses amis. Elle accepte de jouer à son jeu mais il répond que ce n’en est pas un. Elle promet de revenir mais le Maître la contredit avant de l’entraîner avec lui tout en disant adieu aux humains. Ryan veut aller la récupérer mais Ethan dit qu’ils doivent attendre les autres alors qu’un vaisseau cyberman apparaît au-dessus d’eux.

Sur le vaisseau cyberman, Graham, Yaz et les autres rescapés essaient d’échapper aux cybermen, Bescot est tuée alors qu’ils s’échappent par un conduit d’aération et le Cyberman solitaire dit que le vaisseau est à eux.

Apparaissant dans les ruines de Gallifrey, le Maître fait  admirer au Docteur son œuvre et lui parle de souvenirs communs quand ils jouaient dans ces rues ou qu’ils séchaient les cours de Borusa. Elle lui demande pourquoi il a fait ça, il refuse de répondre. Elle demande s’il en est fier, il lui répond par l’affirmative, puis lui indique qu’ils vont dans ce qui reste du Capitole, car il a quelque chose à lui montrer. Il lui dit de ne plus penser à ses amis, qu’elle ne peut rien faire pour eux.

Sur le vaisseau cyberman,  Graham, Yaz et les autres sortent de l’aération, Ravio demande où est Bescot, Yedlarmi explique qu’elle est morte et il veut récupérer son corps mais les autres l’en empêche. Graham a une idée, pas forcément bonne, mais qu’ils ont l’habitude de ce genre de plan. Yaz confirme avant de lui demander quel plan. L’idée est de se cacher dans des armures cybermen, les autres ne sont pas convaincus, mais ils décident tenter le coup pour avoir une chance de sortir du vaisseau.

Ko Sharmus montre son armurerie à Ryan et Ethan. Elle n’est pas très fournie mais il a quand même de quoi affronter les cybermen. Ryan n’est pas convaincu par le fait d’utiliser des armes, Ko Sharmus dit que ce sont des cybermen qui arrivent, Ethan ajoute qu’ils sont sans pitié. Ko Sharmus met une arme dans les mains de Ryan en lui disant qu’il sera pacifiste demain, que là il doit survivre.

Sur Gallifrey, la Docteur et le Maître arrivent dans la citadelle, ce dernier lui fait voir les restes du Panopticon et lui rappelle qu’ils se sont amusés ici, y ont eu leurs diplômes, que des présidents ont été assassiné et ajoute que c’est le meilleur endroit pour en finir. Il reçoit un signal, lui indiquant que les cybermen sont à la frontière, il les contacte et propose au Cyberman solitaire de le rejoindre qu’il a une planète pour eux, Gallifrey. Malgré les protestations de la Docteur, il leur envoie les données de navigation et  leur demande d’envoyer un escadron pour tuer les trois humains restés sur la planète. Une fois la communication coupée, le Cyberman solitaire envoie trois unités d’exécution à la surface avant de mettre le cap sur Gallifrey.

Deux groupes de cybermen apparaissent sur la planète et Ryan, Ethan et Ko Sharmus s’apprêtent à les affronter. Sur le vaisseau, Graham, Yaz et les autres sont dans la zone de stockage, Ravio a vu les cybermen se téléporter  et elle commence à modifier les armures pour qu’il puisse s’y cacher. Graham discute avec Yaz, il dit qu’il la trouve exceptionnelle et elle lui dit qu’il est pas mal avant de rejoindre les autres. Un signal s’active indiquant leur position au Cyberman solitaire qui va s’occuper d’eux personnellement.

Dans la citadelle, la Docteur demande au Maître pourquoi il veut livrer Gallifrey aux cybermen. Il lui répond qu’elle va devoir affronter la vérité et elle rétorque qu’elle ne va pas le croire aussi facilement. Il lui parle de la matrice qui renferme tout le savoir des Seigneurs du Temps, leurs expériences, leurs souvenirs, la seule chose qu’il n’a pas détruit car c’est là qu’il a tout découvert. Il dit qu’il est temps qu’elle affronte la vérité et la piège dans un de champ de force. Elle lui dit de faire ce qu’il veut d’elle, qu’elle l’accepte, mais lui demande de sauver ses amis. Il dit qu’il ne fera rien, que sa colère est trop forte et qu’il va l’envoyer au cœur de la matrice pour qu’elle découvre la vérité et que ça va faire mal.

Sur le vaisseau, le Cyberman solitaire cherchent Graham et les autres, il inspecte la zone de stockage sans les trouver caché dans les armures. Il abandonne sa recherche car le vaisseau approche de la frontière et dès qu’il est parti Graham dit qu’ils doivent quitter ce vaisseau.

La Docteur est dans la matrice avec le Maître qui lui raconte une histoire se passant bien avant les Seigneurs du Temps et tout ce qu’ils connaissent. Tecteun, une exploratrice venant d’une petite planète malfamée et très peu peuplé, Gallifrey, fut la première des indigènes de Gallifrey, les Shobogans, à développer le voyage spatial. Elle prit des risques en explorant des mondes et des galaxies. Dans une de ses mondes lointains, elle découvrit un portail qui menait vers une dimension inconnue et sous le monument, elle trouva une enfant seule, abandonnée qui venait de l’autre réalité. Elle décida de la recueillir et voyagea avec elle jusqu’à son retour sur Gallifrey. La petite fille grandit et Tecteun chercha d’où elle pouvait venir sans trouver de réponse à ce mystère. Un jour, l’enfant eu un accident en se disputant avec un autre enfant et tomba d’une falaise. Une catastrophe pour Tecteun, pour l’enfant qu’elle avait sauvé et qu’elle venait de perdre. L’enfant se régénéra, ce fut la toute première régénération d’une personne sur Gallifrey.

Alors que le vaisseau cyberman arrive sur Gallifrey, sur la planète, Ko Sharmus, Ryan et Ethan affrontent les cybermen, Ryan parvient à lancer une bombe sur l’un des escadrons mais un autre arrive et Ko Sharmus lui dit de revenir.

Dans la citadelle, le Maître accueille le Cyberman solitaire en lui disant qu’il contrôle la Docteur. Il lui offre Gallifrey car ils ont des intérêts communs mais le cyberman dit que son but est de détruire toute vie organique. Le Maître se demande comment et le cyberman lui montre la Particule de mort qui peut détruire toute forme de vie, créé par le Cybérium. Le Maître découvre que le Cyberman solitaire est ainsi l’hôte de tout le savoir et la stratégie des cybermen. Le Maître lui signale que les cybermen sont en partie humain et le Cyberman solitaire répond que leur but ultime est la robotisation de toute la race pour accéder à l’ascension. Le Maître est déçu car ils ne seront que des robots et lui propose de les aider à être la force qui pourra régner sur l’univers. Le Cyberman solitaire lui demande de s’expliquer et le Maître demande quelle est la vitesse de leur système de conversion, qu’il a détruit son monde mais qu’il a quelque chose à lui montrer. Puis il voit que la Docteur se réveille mais dit qu’il peut la gérer avec sa conscience et être à deux endroits en même temps.

Dans la matrice, le Maître raconte au Docteur comment Tecteun, ayant vu son enfant se régénérer, commença à l’étudier et y consacra sa vie. Elle déchiffra chaque fragment de son matériel génétique et assista à plusieurs régénérations. Son désir de comprendre devint une obsession et elle travailla sans relâche pour comprendre son code génétique et comment il fonctionnait. Elle réussit et fit l’expérience ultime au péril de sa vie en s’injectant le résultat de ses recherches et parvint à se régénérer. Le Maître confie qu’il n’était pas au courant de cette histoire et demande au Docteur si elle l’était. Gallifrey évolua, les Shobogans construirent une citadelle et découvrirent le voyage dans l’espace-temps. Grâce à Tecteun, ils devinrent une élite dirigeante avec un héritage génétique pour eux et leurs descendants doté du pouvoir de régénération basé sur le code de l’enfant intemporel avec un cycle de 12 fois maximum. La civilisation se renomma Les Seigneurs du Temps dont l’enfant trouvé était le fondateur. Le Maître conclut en disant que la suite de l’histoire tout le monde la connait et la Docteur lui demande ce qu’est devenue l’enfant et voyant qu’elle n’a pas compris, il lui dit que c’est elle mais elle refuse d’y croire et dit que c’est impossible.

Ryan et Ethan rejoignent Ko Sharmus dans son campement, il leur donne des armes en leur conseillant de tuer avec d’être tué. Ils tentent de semer l’escadron cybermen, Ko Sharmus et Ryan parviennent à abattre un cyberman chacun mais Ethan est fait prisonnier et les cybermen menacent de le tuer s’ils ne se rendent pas, ils se précipitent mais entendent des tirs. Ils retrouvent Ethan vivant, les cybermen qui le menaçaient, abattus par d’autres cybermen, Ryan ne comprend pas jusqu’à ce qu’un des cybermen retire son casque et qu’il découvre Yaz, alors que  Graham est coincé dans son casque.

Le Maître et le Cyberman solitaire se rende sur le vaisseau. Le Maître est intéressé par le Cybérium mais le cyberman lui dit qu’il ne le quittera pas tant qu’il sera en vie, et le Maître le miniaturise au risque de déclencher la Particule de mort, mais ce n’est pas le cas. Il propose une alliance au Cybérium disant qu’il a saccagé la matrice et récupérer toutes les connaissances des Seigneurs du Temps dans ses deux cerveaux. Le cyber savoir et le savoir des Seigneurs du Temps, est une addition qui peut conduire à la suprématie absolue. Il demande au Cybérium de le choisir et c’est ce qui se passe.

Dans la matrice, la Docteur refuse de croire le Maître qui jure que pour une fois dans sa vie, il dit la vérité. Elle dit qu’elle connait sa vie, qu’elle a des souvenirs mais il lui dit que ce n’était pas sa première vie, que les dirigeants de Gallifrey ont voulu faire croire à un mythe légendaire alors que tout venait d’elle. Le Maître dit que le Docteur s’est toujours comporté comme un être à part et c’était le cas mais ce qui l’énerve le plus c’est qu’il a une partie d’elle en lui. La Docteur s’énerve à son tour et exige de voir le reste et de connaître sa vie. Le Maître dit que ça va pas lui plaire et lui montre une scène où il est fait mention de la Division qui peut agir en dehors des règles des Seigneurs du Temps mais qui n’est pas sensé exister, ça rappelle au Docteur des souvenirs se passant en Irlande. La vision se coupe et le Maître dit que c’est censuré et qu’il n’y est pour rien ça date d’avant lui, qu’il n’a pas pu récupérer malgré son intelligence, mais qu’il y avait ce faux souvenir de l’Irlande qu’il lui a envoyé pendant qu’elle luttait contre les cybermen que c’est peut-être un cadeau d’un parent ou des excuses. Le Maître suppose que c’est un indice de Tecteun pour découvrir la vérité. La Docteur revoit Brendan torturé par son père et le policier, le remerciant pour ses services dont il ne se souviendra pas car  ils doivent tout effacer et la Docteur lit ce qui est écrit au dos de la pendule offerte pour la retraite de Brendan, elle voit marqué « pour services rendus à la Division ». Le Maître se demande ce qu’ils lui ont fait et combien de vies, elle a vraiment eu.

Dans la citadelle, le Maître réveille la Docteur et lui avoue qu’il a bien tué tout le monde sur Gallifrey mais qu’il a gardé les corps, que Tecteun n’est pas la seule à faire des expériences. Il lui parle de son idée de combiner la régénération des Seigneurs du temps avec les armures des Cybermen, créant une nouvelle race invincible. Puis il appelle ses nouvelles créations et fait le test, en demandant à l’un d’eux de tirer sur un autre qui se régénère. Et là il jubile en lui demandant ce que ça lui fait de voir des êtres venant d’elle mais créé par lui qui vont pouvoir conquérir l’univers. Il laisse la Docteur dans la matrice et part avec ses nouveaux soldats.

La tribu et les survivants se retrouvent devant la frontière, Ryan leur dit que la Docteur est de l’autre côté sur Gallifrey. Après que Ko Sharmus leur ait expliqué qu’ils seront absorbé en s’approchant, Graham demande qui veut y aller en premier, Yaz fonce et arrive sur Gallifrey bientôt suivi par tous les autres, Graham doute de retrouver la Docteur mais Yaz dit qu’elles les a sauvés de nombreuses fois et qu’ils lui doivent bien ça. Elle dit aux rescapés, venus aussi qu’ils ne sont pas obligé mais aucun ne refuse et Ko Sharmus est prêt à faire sauter quelques trucs.

Dans la matrice, la Docteur se retrouve face à Ruth, elle lui demande si c’est la matrice qui joue avec elle mais Ruth lui demande si ce n’est pas plutôt elle qui l’a invoqué. La Docteur s’interroge, si Ruth vient d’un lointain passé, si elle a été elle un jour, si on la fait redevenir une enfant, elle ne sait quoi penser après tout ce qu’elle vient d’apprendre mais Ruth lui dit qu’elle ne s’est jamais senti freiner par la personne qu’elle était auparavant. Elle reconnaît que c’est un truc qu’elle peut dire et avoue qu’elle est fatiguée car la matrice pompe son énergie, mais Ruth lui rappelle qu’elle a du travail, que des vies sont en jeu, que de nombreuses personnes ont besoin du Docteur. Cette dernière répond qu’elle ne peut pas vaincre le Maître. Ruth dit qu’elle est torturée par cette phrase qu’il lui a dite, la Docteur demande laquelle mais Ruth lui dit de sortir de là, que l’endroit a saturé son esprit et qu’elle devrait lui retourner le compliment avant de disparaître, malgré les protestations du Docteur. Puis elle réfléchit tout haut à ce qu’elle lui a dit, qu’elle a eu un peu trop de stimuli avec toute cette histoire et ces mensonges, mais que c’est peut-être la solution, vaincre la matrice comme elle l’a déjà fait en reniant sa réalité. Elle se parle toute seule ce qu’elle prend pour un bon signe et se concentre sur tous ses souvenirs parvenant à faire exploser la matrice.

Ses compagnons la retrouvent dans la citadelle, elle se réveille heureuse de les retrouver mais elle leur dit qu’ils ne devraient pas être là et leur explique ce que fait le Maître. Ils disent qu’ils ont amenés des explosifs et ont prévu de faire sauter le vaisseau cyberman. Elle dit que ce n’est pas suffisant et se souvient du Cyberman solitaire qui lui a dit que la fin de toute vie est en lui. Ravio lui parle d’une légende sur lui et la Particule de mort. La Docteur dit que c’est peut-être la solution, faire exploser la particule.

Ko Sharmus et les rescapés vont poser les explosifs sur le vaisseau pendant que la Docteur tente de localiser le Maître par connexion psychique.

Avec la Tribu, elle se rend là où il doit être mais retrouve le Cyberman solitaire miniaturisé avec la Particule de mort. Elle se demande où sont le Cybérium et le Maître. Ce dernier se connecte à son esprit disant qu’il l’a détecté mais l’a orienté ailleurs où il lui a laissé, un cadeau. Elle exige une confrontation entre eux, seuls dans la salle de la matrice. La Docteur dit à ses compagnons qu’elle doit les évacuer.

Ko Sharmus prévient tout le monde que les explosifs se sont tous déclenchés en même temps et suggère à tout le monde de se sauver. Ils parviennent tous à s’échapper malgré les cybermens à leur poursuite et une fois réuni hors du vaisseau, la Docteur les emmène dans un Tardis. Alors que la Tribu explique aux autres que ça peut les ramener chez eux, la Docteur demande à Ko Sharmus s’il lui reste des explosifs, il ne lui en reste qu’un et sans minuteur. Quand elle dit qu’elle le prend, tout le monde la regarde étrangement et surtout ses amis. Elle leur explique qu’elle a une dernière mission, détruire Gallifrey avec la Particule de mort pour stopper le Maître et ses Cyber Seigneurs du Temps. Qu’elle est à l’origine de tout ça et qu’elle doit y mettre un terme seule, malgré les protestations de ses compagnons. Elle leur explique que ce Tardis va les ramener sur Terre, au 21ème siècle en expliquant à Ravio et aux autres qu’ils peuvent s’y installer. Ryan et les autres comprennent que si elle utilise la Particule de mort, elle va mourir aussi et elle répond qu’elle n’hésitera pas pour les sauver eux et l’univers, Yaz tente de la retenir mais elle lui dit de la lâcher et Ryan dit à son amie de la laisser et elle leur demande d’avoir une belle vie avant de les quitter.

Elle rejoint le Maître qui est avec ses Cyber Seigneurs du Temps et lui parle du Cybérium qui vit en lui, du fait qu’il l’a brisé et créé une nouvelle espèce grâce à laquelle il peut conquérir ce qu’il veut. La Docteur lui dit qu’elle n’est pas brisée qu’au contraire, il l’a rendu plus forte et qu’elle vaut plus que lui. Il se demande alors pourquoi ils sont là et elle lui montre le Cyberman solitaire relié à un explosif et il affirme qu’il lui avait laissé exprès pour voir si elle oserait. Il lui demande alors si elle est prête à anéantir toute forme de vie y compris la sienne et elle lui répond que cette fois, oui. Il lui dit d’appuyer sur le détonateur, de devenir la mort, de devenir lui et la Docteur n’y arrive pas. Le Maître lui dit que l’univers va subir les conséquences de sa faiblesse.

Ko Sharmus les rejoint, la Docteur ne comprend pas ce qu’il fait là, il devait partir avec les autres, mais il lui dit qu’il l’a suivi, que les amis du Docteur ont bien essayé de l’empêcher, il l’a fait pour être sûr que le plan soit exécuté. Puis il explique qu’il faisait partie de l’unité qui a envoyé le Cybérium dans le passé, qu’il est donc responsable de tout ça et que c’est à lui de faire ce qui doit être fait, que c’est sa pénitence et que sa vie s’achève ici alors que la Docteur doit veiller sur l’univers. Il lui dit de se sauver, elle s’enfuit, prend un autre Tardis et parvient à s’échapper alors que le Maître tente d’arrêter Ko Sharmus. Ce dernier est grièvement blessé par les Cyber Seigneur du temps mais a le temps d’appuyer sur le bouton et de tout faire sauter.

De retour sur Terre, la Tribu et les autres sortent du Tardis qui a pris l’apparence d’une maison, Ravio demande si c’est la Terre, Yaz confirme qu’ils sont rentrés à la maison, que la Docteur les a ramené mais se demande ce qu’il lui est arrivé à elle.

De son côté,  la Docteur abandonne le Tardis emprunté en le laissant sous l’apparence d’un arbre et  retrouve son Tardis. Elle lui parle, heureuse d’être à la maison, dit qu’elle va aller récupérer la Tribu mais qu’elle a besoin d’un moment. Soudain un signal retentit et les Judoon apparaissent parlant d’elle comme d’une évadée et d’une sentence d’emprisonnement à vie.

La Docteur se retrouve alors téléporté dans une cellule sur un astéroïde au fin fond de l’espace, elle regarde à travers les barreaux sans comprendre ce qui lui arrive.

[Planet]

DOCTOR: How are you here?
MASTER: Take my hand.
DOCTOR: Never.
MASTER: Take my hand or I turn them into tiny human dolls right here.
DOCTOR: How have you connected Gallifrey to that Boundary?
MASTER: Fine. You really want me to show you I'm serious? Eenie, meenie, miney... Miney.
DOCTOR: Fine, I'll play your game. I'll be back.
MASTER: She won't. And it's not a game. Good luck, humans. (The Master pulls the Doctor through the purple Boundary.)
RYAN: We have to go through there. We have to go and get her.
ETHAN: No, we have to wait for the others.
(A massive Cybership appears overhead.)
KO SHARMUS: They're here.

 

[CyberCarrier]

BESCOT: Over here!
RAVIO: Go, go, go, go!
BESCOT: I'll cover you!
(She gets one Cyberman in the chest while the others scramble through grating.)
YEDLARMI: Come on! Bescot!
(Bescot is killed.)
YEDLARMI: No!
(He escapes.)
ASHAD: The ship is ours.

 

[Gallifrey]

MASTER: Look upon my work, Doctor, and despair. Remember how we used to run through those streets as children? The alleys where we'd hide from Borusa as we skipped classes? All gone now. Come on, ask me why I did this.
DOCTOR: Why did you do this?
MASTER: Not telling you. (laughs) Oh, crack a smile.
DOCTOR: Proud of yourself?
MASTER: Definitely.
DOCTOR: All this death finally made you happy?
MASTER: Ecstatic.
DOCTOR: And has it calmed all the rage?
MASTER: I don't think anything will ever do that. We're going to take a tour through the Capitol. Or its ruins, at least. Things I need to show you. And, er, I know you're worried about your friends. Plotting how to get away. I can see it in your eyes. But you can't help them, so don't even think about it.

 

[CyberCarrier deep storage vault]

(The bottom of an access ladder.)
GRAHAM: Down you come. That's it. Yaz, come on.
RAVIO: Where's Bescot?
YEDLARMI: They killed her. We have to go back for her.
GRAHAM: No, no, no. No, you can't do that, mate.
YEDLARMI: Listen, don't tell me what I can't do. She had nightmares about being captured and converted. I can't let that happen.
RAVIO: Do you really think that she would want you to go back there and risk your life?
YEDLARMI: I owe her. And what difference does it make anyway? We don't stand a chance here. We are stuck on a ship stacked with Cybermen. Four humans sticking out on every surveillance system they've got.
GRAHAM: He's right, and I've been thinking about that. I've got an idea. It's a bit of a mad one, quite dangerous and it might not work, but we've got form with plans like that, ain't we, Yaz?
YASMIN: Yeah, our speciality. How dangerous?
(They open up one of the pods.)
GRAHAM: We use their armour so they don't notice us. That way, we can move around and get off the ship.
YASMIN: So you want us to disguise ourselves as Cybermen?
YEDLARMI: Have you ever opened one up?
GRAHAM: Well, I guess it won't be pleasant.
RAVIO: They're full of human remains.
GRAHAM: Well, I don't need it spelling out, do I?
YEDLARMI: You can't fake being a Cyberman for any length of time.
YASMIN: We only need to do it for long enough to get us out of here.
RAVIO: If you do the bodies, I could disable the suit connection into the shared neural network.
YEDLARMI: It's insane.
GRAHAM: Well, I didn't say it was a perfect plan, did I? But it is the best one we've got.

 

[Planet - tent]

KO SHARMUS: This is my weapon store.
RYAN: This all you got?
KO SHARMUS: Well, it's quite hard to get deliveries out here, you know. I had hoped I'd fought my last battle a long time ago. Still... this old general still knows a few tricks.
RYAN: I'm not too sure about weapons.
KO SHARMUS: Yeah, well, I'm sure about Cybermen. Now, you fight them or you die.
ETHAN: They don't have any mercy.
KO SHARMUS: You can be a pacifist tomorrow. Today, you have to survive.

 

[Citadel]

MASTER: Ah! The Citadel, the heart of Gallifrey. Recognise the old place? I was thinking I might knock through there, put a wet room there, screening room there. Torture room in the cellar, naturally. Oh. And see through there? The Panopticon. Well, what's left, which, er... which isn't much. We had some fun there, didn't we, hey? Graduated. Assassinated presidents. The best of times! But I thought here would be a fitting place to end this. (bingle) Oh. Oop. Excuse me. Check my notifications. Oh, goodie! The Cybermen are here, at the Boundary. Better extend the hand of friendship. Breaker 1-2 calling all Cybes.

 

[CyberCarrier]

MASTER [OC]: Calling all Cybes.
CYBERGUARD: Leader, incoming holo-transmission from beyond the Boundary.

 

[Citadel]

MASTER: Hello, Cybercarrier. Ooo, you look rough. Or is that a choice? Don't mean to conversion-shame you.
ASHAD [hologram]: Who are you?
MASTER: You may call me Master. I want you to think of me as your new best friend.

 

[CyberCarrier]

MASTER [hologram]: Now, the Boundary between worlds, this beautiful anomalous fluke..

 

[Citadel]

MASTER: Come through it. Join me.
ASHAD [hologram]: Why would we join you?
MASTER: Because I have a planet going spare right here. The planet formerly known as Gallifrey.
DOCTOR: No. Don't bring them here. This is between you and me.
MASTER: Don't heckle, dear. I can always decide to cut you short. I promise I'll roll out the red carpet. It's red because it's drenched in the blood of our people.

 

[CyberCarrier]

MASTER [hologram]: I've sent you the navigation patterns. Come right to the hearts. Do what so many of your predecessors fantasised about.

 

[Citadel]

MASTER: Land your ship in the ruins of Gallifrey. On the way through, you should send a death squadron. Do you call it a death squadron? A deletion squad. No, a recruitment patrol. A human juicing party. To eliminate the three humans left alive on that planet. They're weak. It shouldn't take much. See you in a bit.

 

[CyberCarrier]

ASHAD: Send three execution units to the surface. And set course for Gallifrey.
(Six Cybermen beam down)

 

[Planet]

(Two groups of six Cybermen appear on the ridge.)
KO SHARMUS [OC]: Here they come. Gird your loins, gentlemen.
RYAN: Er... I don't... I don't how to do that.
ETHAN: Me neither.

 

[CyberCarrier]

(Another group of six beam down.)
RAVIO: Transmat.

 

[Planet]

(And two more groups appear.)
KO SHARMUS [OC]: As my first commanding officer used to say, be brave, be swift. Most of all, be lucky.

 

[CyberCarrier deep storage vault]

(Yedlarmi and Ravio are doing the cutting and drilling.)
YASMIN: All right?
GRAHAM: Yeah, yeah. You?
YASMIN: Yeah.
GRAHAM: Listen, Yaz, er... if we don't get out of this...
YASMIN: We will get out of this.
GRAHAM: Yeah, well... I know, but I'm just saying, if we don't... I want you to know I... I think you're such an impressive young woman. Never thrown by anything. Always fighting.
YASMIN: Thanks.
GRAHAM: You said to the Doc that you thought she was the best person you'd ever met. But you know what, Yaz? I think you are. You ain't got a time machine or a sonic... but you're never afraid and you're never beaten. I'm going to sound like a... like a proper old man, but you're doing your family proud, Yaz, you really are. In fact, you're doing the whole human race proud. Sorry. I haven't offended you, have I?
YASMIN: It's the nicest thing anyone's ever said to me.
GRAHAM: Oh.
YASMIN: You're not such a bad human yourself either.
GRAHAM: Not su...? Is that it? I've just said all them lovely things about you, and all you give me is, you're not such a bad human?
YASMIN: Mate, I'm from Yorkshire. That's a love letter.
YEDLARMI: We're ready.
GRAHAM: Oh, okay.

 

[CyberCarrier]

(Meanwhile...)
CYBERGUARD: Leader, unit malfunction in deep storage vault Micron-Alpha.
ASHAD: Show surveillance.
CYBERGUARD: Surveillance unavailable, Leader.
ASHAD: The humans.
CYBERGUARD: Shall I activate a unit?
ASHAD: No. They are mine.

 

[Citadel]

DOCTOR: Why would you give Gallifrey to the Cybermen?
MASTER: You're about to have much bigger things to think about. I told you before that everything you knew was a lie. Well, now you get to face the truth, with me at your side.
DOCTOR: Do you really think I'm going to believe anything that comes out of your mouth?
MASTER: Do you remember this place, Doctor? Next to the Panopticon, the Chamber of the Matrix, the Repository of all Time Lord knowledge. A data bank of every Time Lord consciousness, living and dead. Every experience and every memory. The lived history of our race. I... I destroyed a lot of things, but not this trove of secrets. This is what started it all. I was just playing, hacking the system. I got lost in there. And then I found everything. Ah! Truth and reconciliation time, Doctor. Well, maybe not reconciliation. But time you saw the truth for yourself.
DOCTOR: What truth? Oh!
(A column of glowing rings surrounds her.)
MASTER: Paralysis field.
DOCTOR: Whatever you want with me, fine. But save my friends. Don't let the Cybermen take them. If the history between us means anything to you...
MASTER: I do believe you're appealing to my better nature. And we both know I don't have one. I'm not going to help them, and neither are you. And the history between us does mean something. It's the rage and pain in my hearts. I'm sending you deep into the Matrix to understand the truth of Gallifrey and of the Time Lords. Brace yourself. This is going to hurt.

 

[CyberCarrier deep storage vault]

(Ashad stomps along, then opens one of the pods. Our heroes are inside the Cybersuits. He opens another and gazes deep into the eye sockets. There is a clang so he turns and opens another pod.)
CYBERGUARD [OC]: Leader, we are on optimal proximity to Boundary. Boundary gateway is reopening.
(Ashad storms out of the vault.)
GRAHAM: We've got to get off this ship.
(The CyberCarrier passes through the Boundary)

 

[Matrix]

MASTER [OC]: Welcome, Doctor. Are you suffering comfortably? Then I'll begin. Once upon a time... No. Once upon several times, before the Time Lords, before everything we know, there was an explorer. Her name was Tecteun, from a little-regarded, sparsely populated planet called Gallifrey. Tecteun was the first of Gallifrey's indigenous race, the Shobogans, to develop space travel. Dangerous, unsophisticated space travel. She took risks to explore the worlds and galaxies beyond her home. And it was on one of these distant, deserted worlds on the far edge of another galaxy she found something... impossible. A gateway. A boundary into another unknown dimension or universe. Tecteun glimpsed the infinite through that gateway. And beneath the monument, she found... a child. Abandoned. Alone. Thrown through, seemingly, from the other unknown realm. Tecteun had a choice to make. Abandon or save the child? She chose to rescue the foundling and adopt this refugee from another realm as her own. Together they explored the universe. The child grew older, and finally Tecteun returned to Gallifrey with her new child. Like any parent, Tecteun wanted to understand her child. She searched for clues as to the child's identity. Where she might be from, what species she could be. But the child would not yield any secrets Tecteun could understand. The child remained a mystery, until playing with a friend, like any other child, there was an accident. A catastrophe...
(The child falls off a cliff.)
MASTER [OC]: ..for Tecteun, for the child she'd saved, now lost to her. Or so she thought. The child regenerated. The first regeneration of any person on the planet of Gallifrey.
(The CyberCarrier lands on top of the Citadel)

 

[Planet]

CYBERMAN: Boundary forcefield gateway now closed. There is no escape for humans.
(An automatic weapon shoots down a Cyberman, then another.)
KO SHARMUS: First trap's sprung. They fell for the old bio-dampener Decoy Human Signal trick. Textbook! Ha! (The Cybermen destroy the weapons.)Thought they'd last longer than that. (Then they shoot at Ko Sharmus.) All right, Ryan, they're on the march. You know what to do. We're relying on you.
RYAN: Did I mention I've never been the greatest shot?
KO SHARMUS [OC]: Now!
(Ryan hefts a bleeping basket-ball sized device and eyes his target, then throws it between two batches of six Cybermen. KaBOOM.)
RYAN: Whoa! I did it! In the hoop! Swish.
KO SHARMUS: Great shot.
RYAN: You come for humans, you come for me, Ryan Sinclair! We defeated the Cybermen. Well, me. Technically, it's me. Oh!
KO SHARMUS [OC]: There are always more. Get inside now. Now!

 

[Citadel]

MASTER: Ah! Ah! Come in. Come in! No, don't... don't worry about her. She's fully under my control. Congratulations. You have managed something no other Cyberman ever achieved. Maybe... maybe even dreamed of! Gallifrey is yours. Offered as a gift, from an admiring Master. I know our races have been enemies. I lived through the Great Cyber War. I saw the atrocities perpetrated on your race. I want to help put that right.
ASHAD: Why?
MASTER: I fear we have a common interest.
ASHAD: The new Cyber-army shall have one goal. The destruction of all organic life.
MASTER: Ah, so that's your thinking. But how are you going to manage that?
ASHAD: The Death Particle. One Particle, when activated, capable of destroying all organic life.
(And it is sitting in his chest.)
MASTER: Very nice. Ooo. Did you make that?
ASHAD: The Cyberium created it, through me.
MASTER: So you're the host for all Cyber knowledge and strategy. Oh. Interesting. Now, I hate to point out the flaw in your plan. Cybermen are part organic, but you more than most.
ASHAD: My new Cyberwarriors are purged of organic components. We shall rise towards full automation, driven by the intelligence of the Cyberium. And when that work is done, I shall join my warriors and make the final ascension to full mechanisation.
MASTER: Oh, you mean robots. You'll be robots.
ASHAD: We shall be dominant.
MASTER: But robots. Oof. I'm a bit disappointed. I see how you got there - an AI wanting to create more things in its own image - but it lacks vision. Right, what if we, er, workshop this? You know, kick it around a bit? I have notes.
ASHAD: You question the strategy of the Cyberium?
MASTER: I do. I mean, it's good, but it's not great. There's loads of robots. Throw a stick in this universe, you'll hit a robot. I used to do that. Any idiot can make themselves into a robot. It's not special.
(Ashad takes the Master by the throat.)
MASTER: But if you want to be the dominant force in the universe, I can facilitate that.
(Ashad releases him.)
ASHAD: Explain.
MASTER: How fast are the conversion processes on your ship?
ASHAD: They have been restored to optimal efficiency.
MASTER: Good. Good, good. Good. Good! Cos I burned the Citadel, but if I have one weakness, it's that I am a bit of a hoarder. Let me show you. She's waking up in that Matrix. But don't worry, my consciousness can deal with her. I'm that good, I can be in two places at once.

 

[Matrix]

MASTER: Now, having seen her adopted child regenerate her body, Tecteun, a scientist and explorer, had a new landscape to explore. She dedicated her life to studying her child. Detailed every fragment of genetic material. It took her years. Several of the child's regenerations. Tecteun grew older. Her desire to understand became an obsession. She worked tirelessly, endlessly, furiously. She had to crack this code to understand regeneration. And finally, she did. And to prove herself right, she took the ultimate risk. Tested the theory on herself. Put her own life on the line. Spliced into herself the genetic ability to regenerate. I didn't know any of this. Did you know any of this? Nearly there. The planet of Gallifrey evolved. Shobogans grew in knowledge and ability. They built themselves the Citadel. They discovered the ability to travel through Time as well as space. With Tecteun, they became a self-appointed ruling elite. And Tecteun proposed that they gene-splice the ability to regenerate into future generations of Citadel dwellers. It would become the genetic inheritance of them and their descendants. But he would restrict the regenerative process to a maximum of twelve times. The Timeless Child became the base genetic code for all Gallifreyans within the Citadel. The civilisation which renamed themselves, with characteristic pomposity, Time Lords. The foundling had become the founder. The rest, as they say, is history.
DOCTOR: What happened to the child? (The Master laughs.) What? What's so funny? What happened to the child?
MASTER: Oh Doctor, really? Haven't you worked this out yet? The child is you. You are the Timeless Child.
DOCTOR: No. No, I'm not.
MASTER: You always have been.
DOCTOR: I can't be.

 

[Planet - tents]

KO SHARMUS: Come on, come on. Hurry, hurry!
ETHAN: This place is like a maze.
KO SHARMUS: I made it that way, in case of an eventuality like this.
RYAN: Hey, you never think of doors? Big lockable doors. Indestructible doors.
KO SHARMUS: Dream of them every night. But I had to work with what I had. Now... (He gives them guns) Hide well. Take what shots you can. Kill them before they kill you. Go!
CYBERMAN: Three human life forms detected.
(Ko Sharmus taps one on the back.)
KO SHARMUS: Hello. (And kills it) Too many of them.
(Ethan's hiding place is found.)
CYBERMAN: One human located.
ETHAN: No! No.
CYBERMAN: All humans will be executed.
(Ryan gets one. Then he and Ko Sharmus nearly shoot each other.)
RYAN: Oh! Oh, my days.
KO SHARMUS: Oh, my saints.
BOTH: Where's Ethan?
CYBERMAN [OC]: Attention, remaining humans. We have your friend. You have ten seconds to surrender or he will be executed.
ETHAN: Don't come for me. Argh!
CYBERMAN: Ten, nine.
KO SHAMUS: He's two pathways away. This way.
RYAN: Hey! We're coming! We surrender! Stop!
CYBERMAN: Five, four.
RYAN: I said we surrender!
CYBERMAN: Three.
KO SHAMUS: We surrender!
CYBERMAN: Two, one.
RYAN: No!
(Weapons fire. Ko Sharmus and Ryan burst in to see four Cybermen standing over the bodies of two others, and Ethan unharmed.)
RYAN: I don't understand.
(A Cyberman removes her helmet.)
YASMIN: How about now?
GRAHAM: Er, Yaz, I can't... can't get this hat off.

 

[CyberCarrier deep storage vault]

MASTER: Wow. Wow. Wow, wow, wow, wow! Ah! You have got a lot of these. A whole Cybercarrier worth. Perfect. So, what's your plan now?
ASHAD: The Cyberium will process and dictate the strategy.
MASTER: The Cyberium. I've heard a lot about that over the millennia. The heart of all your power. The centre of all Cyber knowledge. Oh, come on, Cyberium, show us some leg. What do you actually look like, hmm?
ASHAD: It will not leave me while I live.
MASTER: Oh. Okay. (The Master walks away, then turns and shrinks Ashad. The silver liquid expands and floats in the air) Well, aren't you pretty? And fast. You made your exit very swiftly there. Worried, were you? I thought if he was compressed, the Death Particle would activate and all this would be over. I would've been okay with that. I thought it was a nice little gamble. But no, here we are, all still alive. And one miniaturised Death Particle still in him, waiting for its moment for its chamber to be smashed open. Oh, shoot. I should've said, somebody needs to cut you down to size, then zapped you. I was just trigger-happy. I'll use it next time. Sit there for a mo. Oh, sorry, were you close? Candidly, I think you can do better. I request an alliance. I deserve to be your business partner because I have performed well in all tasks. I ransacked the Matrix of the Time Lords, distilled all the knowledge, all the experiences, all the discoveries, into these brains up here. All the Cyber knowledge, all the Time Lord knowledge. Put it together, what do you get? Absolute supremacy in the universe. Choose me. (The Cyberium enters the Master.) Wow, that was quick. Wa-ha-ha! Whoa! Woohoo! At least buy me... dinner!

 

[Matrix]

MASTER: This is no time to be sleeping. Is it hurting, Doctor? I hope it's hurting, because it really hurt me.
DOCTOR: It's all lies. None of this is the truth.
MASTER: For the first time in my lives, I can honestly say every word is true.
DOCTOR: I know my life. I know... I know who I am.
MASTER: No, you don't. You never have. Your life has been hidden from you. Our founding parents wanted a noble creation myth for the Time Lords. Born To Rule.
DOCTOR: I remember my home. I remember growing up. I remember you and me at the Academy together.
MASTER: That happened. It just wasn't your first life.
DOCTOR: Why would they lie? Why would they do that?
MASTER: I wish it wasn't true, but it is. You know what I find the most infuriating? You always behaved like you were different, like you were... like you were special. And you were. You can see... you can see why I'm angry. A little piece of you is in me. All I am is somehow because of you, and believe me when I say, I cannot bear that.
DOCTOR: Show me the rest.
MASTER: I'm not sure you can cope with much...
DOCTOR: Show me the rest! I have a right to know my own life.
MASTER: All right. But I'm not sure it's going to make you happy.
SOLPADO: The policy of the Time Lords is clear. Strict non-intervention in other worlds and times. However, policy and reality sometimes diverge. There are times when it is necessary to intervene. That is the purpose of The Division. The tests we set you. These results are the best I've ever seen.
DOCTOR: Those images. Ireland. I've seen them in my head. What are they?
MASTER: Shhh. She's talking.
SOLPADO: The Division does not exist. The Division does not have operatives. We are not even here. Do you understand? I propose...
(The scene vanishes.)
DOCTOR: What have you done?
MASTER: Not me. That was done long before I got here. Everything from here is redacted, blocked out, all but erased. There was something here. A lot of stuff, seemingly, but now it all just looks like this. I've tried everything, everything, to decode it, but it's... it's unrecoverable, beyond even my brilliance. And it's not often I say that.
DOCTOR: But it's my life.
MASTER: Yeah.
DOCTOR: How much was lost?
MASTER: Impossible to tell. It took up a lot of space in the Matrix, though. Yeah. There is one final trace. Those glitches of Ireland you keep seeing. Those images, they were buried deep in the Matrix. Tecteun put a visual filter over it so that no one who watched it would find it remarkable. I transmitted them into your mind as you tracked the Cybermen. Maybe this is the last gift of a parent. A clue. Or an apology. You can decide. Did Tecteun leave these images for you to decode one day?

 

[Garda]

PATRICK: We have to get rid of everything, I'm afraid.
SERGEANT: Thank you for your service. We're sorry you won't remember it.
(Brendan screams. The Doctor looks at the inscription on the carriage clock - For Services To The Division.)
MASTER [OC]: What did they do to you, Doctor? How many lives have you had?

 

[Citadel]

MASTER: Wake up. I know you're broken, but it's all over now.
DOCTOR: What do you mean?
MASTER: When I said I killed everyone here... I did keep the bodies, just... just cold enough in case they'd be useful. I thought... I thought maybe some good can come out of all of this. Your adopted mother isn't the only one who can experiment. I mean, what if... a new race could be created? Huh? Time Lord organics with the ability to regenerate and self-repair in Cyber armour. Invincible! A perfect army, right? Right? Oh, come in, my pretties. (Cybermen wearing Time Lord collar style helmets and cloaks enter.) Yeah! Doosh, doosh, doosh. Line up. Attention! Yeah, that's it. Well, let's test it out. Shoot him. Shoot him! (The indicated Cyberman shoots the other one.) Good dog! All dead. Er... wait. Could it be? (The fallen Cyberman regenerates.) Yes, it could! Behold your new CyberMasters, Doctor. All born from you, but led by me. How does that feel? Huh? Now, no time to lose. Don't move. Oh, that's right, you can't. Can you feel a new era dawning, Doctor? For Gallifrey.
CYBERMEN: For Gallifrey!
MASTER: For the Time Lords.
CYBERMEN: For the Time Lords!
MASTER: For the end of the universe itself!
CYBERMEN: For the end of the universe itself!
MASTER: Sweet dreams. This way, soldiers.

 

[Planet]

RAVIO: The Boundary, it's real.
RYAN: Yeah, and the Doctor's on the other side.
RAVIO: So, how do we do this?
KO SHARMUS: The Boundary will absorb us, but you have to take the step.
GRAHAM: Step into the unknown. Who fancies going first?
(Yasmin walks forward.)
YASMIN: Ah!

 

[Gallifrey]

(Followed by Ko Shamus and the others.)
YASMIN: This is Gallifrey. This is where The Doctor's from.
GRAHAM: We're never going to find her in this lot.
YASMIN: Yeah, we are. We're going to find her and we're going to rescue her. She's done it for us enough times, now it's our turn. This is going to be even more dangerous from here. You don't have to come.
RAVIO: We owe you. We're in. Right?
ETHAN: Right.
YEDLARMI: Great. How am I meant to contradict that if you're going all heroic?
RYAN: You coming?
KO SHARMUS: I've already lived longer than I expected. There must be a few last things I can blow up before I'm done.

 

[Matrix]

DOCTOR: Oh, great. What are you doing here? Or are you the Matrix playing more games with me?
RUTH: Don't ask me, I'm as lost as you are in here. Maybe you just summoned me.
DOCTOR: Where do you fit into all this? Were you me all that time ago? Were all my memories of you erased? Did they force me back into becoming a child? How many more of me are out there?
RUTH: I don't have those answers. But say I did, would they even help?
DOCTOR: Of course they would. All this, it means I'm not who I thought I was.
RUTH: Because your memories aren't compatible with what you learnt today.
DOCTOR: Yes.
RUTH: Have you ever been limited by who you were before?
DOCTOR: Ah. Now, that does sound like me talking. I'm so tired. The Matrix is sapping all the energy of out of me.
RUTH: No time to be tired. Still work to do out there. Lives at stake. Armies being born. People need the Doctor.
DOCTOR: I don't know how to stop The Master.
RUTH: Course you do. That one question that's nagging at you, the one thing he said that you didn't understand.
DOCTOR: The one thing who said? The Master?
RUTH: No. Get out of here. I know this place has blown your mind. Maybe you should return the compliment.
(Ruth vanishes.)
DOCTOR: No, wait. Are you still there? Of course she's still there. If you were me, you're buried within me, buried within... Too many thoughts. All right, first things first, what did she say? Mind blown. Yes! Of course! All this history, all these lies, it's too much stimulus. It might work. I've fought the Matrix before, denied its reality, I can do it again. Maybe. Well, you know what they say, Doctor, nothing ventured, nothing blown. Oh! I'm talking to myself again. That's a good sign. Thanks, Doctor. Still here. No, shut up, I need to concentrate. Er... All right. Have a blast of this, Matrix.
(Massive sequence of images going backwards through all the established Doctors and then a bit more. The paralysis field explodes)

 

[Citadel]

YASMIN: Doctor!
GRAHAM: Yaz, is she all right?
RYAN: Doctor? Doctor, we're here for you.
DOCTOR: My fam.
KO SHAMUS: She's not dead, then.
DOCTOR: Who are they? Are we having a party? Oh. All those memories. The Matrix. The memories blew the Matrix. Oh, she's clever. I'm clever. We're all clever. All of us. However many that is. All right, then. Off we go. Oh. No, there's something I'm missing. The Master is creating a new race of Cybermen using Time Lord bodies. An endlessly regenerating army. I have to stop him. Fast. You shouldn't be here. No humans on Gallifrey.
KO SHAMUS: If it helps, we have explosives.
RYAN: And a plan.
GRAHAM: A Cybership's parked up in the middle of your hometown. It's ripe for blowing up.
RAVIO: We're going to strategically place bombs around the ship, including some close enough to the core.
DOCTOR: Yes. Good. Do that. But it won't achieve everything. A race of CyberMasters. Can't let them off the planet. Have to be stopped. And your bombs aren't going to do that. We need more! But there isn't anything more. The Master's seen to that. The Master's seen to everything.
YASMIN: Are you all right, Doctor?
DOCTOR: That's what's been bugging me. That's the thing that he said to me.
ETHAN: What thing who said?
DOCTOR: The half-converted Cyberman.
ASHAD [memory]: The death of everything is within me.
DOCTOR: That's what he said. Oh, what did it mean?
RAVIO: There is a myth around him.
YEDLARMI: The Death Particle.
RAVIO: The legend is, he, it, whatever, has a Particle in a tiny chamber inside its chest. It will take out all organic life on a planet.
RYAN: That's grim.
DOCTOR: Or it's a solution. A timer on an explosive to activate the Particle. Clear evacuation plan.
KO SHARMUS: Only if you've got a way to get us off this planet before it hits.
DOCTOR: You all good to set those explosives? I'll deal with the rest. Meet in the corridor below the carrier. Go on, then. Now, I need to get a fix on The Master. Got him.

 

[CyberCarrier]

(Various locations.)
KO SHARMUS: Found the activator core. If this one goes, it'll set off chain reactions across the carrier.
RAVIO: We're set.
YEDLARMI: Sweet dreams, losers.
DOCTOR: Where's the Master? He should be here.
(She finds the shrunken Cyberman and scans it.)
RYAN: The Master? He did that?
DOCTOR: But the Death Particle is still in place. Just smaller than before. If The Master did this, what happened to the Cyberium?
MASTER [OC]: You think I didn't feel you connecting to me? Laid you a false trail. Left you a gift, though.
DOCTOR: You and me, Matrix Chamber. No one else. One last time.
MASTER [OC]: Fine.
DOCTOR: I need to get you all off Gallifrey.
(Ko Sharmus sets his last explosive.)
KO SHARMUS: Oh, dear. Sorry for the short notice, but it seems that the main trigger device has a mind of its own and has set all the others going. May I suggest a very fast getting the hell off this ship?
YASMIN: Run!
CYBERMEN: Human life form located. Delete. Execute all humans. All humans must be deleted. Humanity shall be eradicated. Incendiary devices identified.
(The CyberCarrier explodes)

 

[Capitol]

GRAHAM: Thanks for the warning.
KO SHARMUS: You're still alive, aren't you?
DOCTOR: Everyone, through here.
GRAHAM: Come on.

 

[Tardis]

(A traditional hexagonal console in a room with roundels.)
RYAN: It's a Tardis. It is a Tardis, right?
GRAHAM: Looks like it.
RAVIO: Sorry, what's happening now?
YASMIN: This can take us all home.
DOCTOR: Don't touch. Still working. Any explosives left?
KO SHARMUS: One. Emergencies only.
DOCTOR: Timer?
KO SHARMUS: Hand detonation only.
DOCTOR: Yeah. Course. I'll take it.
GRAHAM: So come on, Doc, what are you thinking?
DOCTOR: One option left. I have to use the Death Particle on Gallifrey. On my home. On the Master and his new breed of Cybermen.
RYAN: You sure you wanna do that?
DOCTOR: I'm sure I don't want to do that, but there's no alternative. If the Master and the Cybermen get off this planet, they'll be unstoppable. I started this with Shelley and the Cyberium, now I have to finish it. Alone.
YASMIN: What?
DOCTOR: The Tardis will take you back to Earth. All of you. You can settle in the 21st century.
RAVIO: You're not serious.
DOCTOR: Deadly.
RYAN: What about you? You detonate that thing, you'll die too.
DOCTOR: That's the way it has to be. And I would do that in a heartbeat for this universe. For you, my fam.
YASMIN: We're not letting you go. You're not doing this.
DOCTOR: Get off me, Yaz. Please.
RYAN: Yaz, come on.
DOCTOR: Live great lives.

 

[Citadel]

(The Master is there with his Cyber-Time Lords.)
DOCTOR: I definitely said no plus-ones.
MASTER: Well... Oh! (The Cyber-TLs aim their weapons at the Doctor.) Where I go, they go now.
DOCTOR: Are you going to have them shoot me?
MASTER: No, Doctor. As of now, I wish my enemies a long and healthy life, so they may witness my many triumphs, because they will be legion.
DOCTOR: You're looking peaky.
MASTER: Oh, yeah. The Cyberium lives in me now, Doctor. Yeah. Yes. See, I've been looking forward to seeing your face about that. I can feel it flowing around in me. The information, the strategy, the... the... the consciousness. It's a beautiful thing. And look at us. I have broken you and created a new race. And now? Now I shall conquer... everything. Oh.
DOCTOR: You think you've broken me? You'll have to try harder than that. You've given me a gift. Of myself. You think that could destroy me? You think that makes me lesser? It makes me more. I contain multitudes more than I ever thought or knew. You want me to be scared of it because you're scared of everything. But I am so much more than you.
MASTER: Wow. Oh. So, why are we here? (She takes the explosive out of her pocket, with the little Ashad stuck to it.) Oh, good, very good. That's why I left it for you. Wondered if you would... take out me, take out these lifeforms, all those bodies still in the vaults, every organic cellular life form on this planet... forever. And yourself. Do that, would you?
DOCTOR: Yes. This time, yes.
MASTER: Go on, then. You were the start of all of this, now finish it. Come on, come on. Come on! Come on, come on! What have you got left anyway? You don't even know your own life. Look how low I have brought you. I have won, Doctor. You may have made me, but I have destroyed you. Become death. Become me. Come on. Come on, come on! (She lowers the grenade.) For just a moment there, I thought maybe. Argh. Oh Doctor, the universe will suffer for your weakness. I'll make sure of it.
KO SHARMUS: Not if I have anything to do with it.
MASTER: Excuse me. No gate-crashers.
DOCTOR: You can't still be here. I set the controls.
KO SHARMUS: I followed you out. They tried to stop me, but I wanted to be sure that these things are gone. And now I can be.
DOCTOR: No.
KO SHARMUS: You didn't start this. I did. I was part of a resistance unit that sent the Cyberium back through Time and space. Though obviously we didn't send it back far enough. So this is my penance. Mine to finish. My journey ends here. But the universe still needs you, so I suggest you run.
DOCTOR: But...
KO SHARMUS: Run, Doctor! Don't you dare.
MASTER: Doctor!
(The Doctor runs out.)
KO SHARMUS: Still feeling confident?
(The Doctor sonics her way into another Tardis.)
MASTER: Kill him.
KO SHARMUS: Killed you first.
(He falls under multiple blasts, then triggers the explosive.)
MASTER: All of you, through here, now!
(The Capitol explodes)

 

[Housing Estate]

(A detached house appears and Ravio steps out of the front door.)
RAVIO: This is Earth. Oh. We're on Earth.
YASMIN: We're home. She got us home. But what happens to her?

 

[Quarry]

(The Doctor steps out from a tree.)
DOCTOR: Oh yeah, nice. Good chameleon circuit. I'm going to have to leave you there, though. I can think of worse places to spend eternity. (She walks over to a blue Police Box.) Hello, mate.

 

[Tardis]

(It powers up as she walks in.)
DOCTOR: Thanks. Home sweet home. They got a lift back another way. Don't get jealous. I'll pick them up now. Maybe just need a moment. (Suddenly a klaxon sounds, then three Judoon beam in) What?
JUDOON: Judoon Cold Case Unit. Fugitive, the Doctor. Sentence, whole of life imprisonment, maximum security facility.

 

[Prison cell]

DOCTOR: What? What?!
(This prison is built into an asteroid in deep space)
