1. Doctor! Doctor! Look out!Copy !req
2. Where's he gone? Have you seen him?
There he is. Stop! No!Copy !req
3. Watch out!Copy !req
4. There! There!Copy !req
5. That's what it did.
It went ROAR!Copy !req
6. And if you think that was the
most exciting day of my life,
wait till you hear the rest.Copy !req
7. Oh, boy!Copy !req
8. So there I was, with
that thing going ROAR!Copy !req
9. Here boy, eat the food. Come on.Copy !req
10. Look at the lovely food.
Isn't that nice? Yes, it is!Copy !req
11. Get out of here, quickly!Copy !req
12. Who would like a porkie choppie,
then? I said, "RUN!"Copy !req
13. Wrong one! You've made it worse!Copy !req
14. You said, "Blue!" I said NOT blue!Copy !req
15. Hold on.Copy !req
16. Ahhh!Copy !req
17. Aaagh! Aaagh!Copy !req
18. Hold on.Copy !req
19. Don't I know you?Copy !req
20. You can't imagine it.
The Doctor's machine.Copy !req
21. The most beautiful sound
in the world.Copy !req
22. That wasn't the first time I met
the Doctor and it certainly
wasn't the last. Oh, no!Copy !req
23. I just put that bit at the beginning
because it's a brilliant opening.Copy !req
24. This is the story of me and my
encounters with alien life forms.Copy !req
25. But be warned!Copy !req
26. Because it is gonna get sca-a-ary.Copy !req
27. I need a remote control zoom.Copy !req
28. I'm having to do that
with the lean, sca-a-a-ary.Copy !req
29. But look, don't worry, cos it's not
just me sitting here talking. Oh, no.Copy !req
30. That's Ursula on camera. Hello!Copy !req
31. My good friend, Ursula Blake.
On my brand new camera.Copy !req
32. That was my family home, down there.Copy !req
33. I did try,
but there's two women live there now.Copy !req
34. They're a bit severe.Copy !req
35. Never mind,
but that's where it all started.Copy !req
36. Cos that's
when I first met the Doctor.Copy !req
37. What was it, I must've been
three or four years old.Copy !req
38. Middle of the night
I went downstairsCopy !req
39. and there was this... man.Copy !req
40. What happened?Copy !req
41. Elton? Tell me. Why was he there?Copy !req
42. I dunno. Still don't know.Copy !req
43. All those years ago.Copy !req
44. OK! First things first.Copy !req
45. My name is Elton,
not to be confused with...Copy !req
46. I left school. I got a job,
transport manager for Rita Logistics,Copy !req
47. modest little haulage company,
perfectly normal life, and then...Copy !req
48. it all went mad!Copy !req
49. Two years ago, I was in town.Copy !req
50. I was stocking up,
nothing special, all the usual stuff.Copy !req
51. When all of a sudden...Copy !req
52. Shop window dummies!Copy !req
53. Come to life!Copy !req
54. I survived... Obviously.Copy !req
55. Twelve months later,
I'm back in town,Copy !req
56. looking for a new suit,
when I hear this plane overhead.Copy !req
57. DONG!Copy !req
58. But it wasn't over yet!
Cos then, Christmas Day...Copy !req
59. I'm in bed, fast asleep, nice
and cosy, when all of a sudden...Copy !req
60. Like, ptscccchhhh!Copy !req
61. I'm stuck in bed cos there's glass
everywhere and I was barefoot.Copy !req
62. I had to invent this rudimentary
pulley system just to reach my boots
and by the time I'd done that...Copy !req
63. that's when it all started happening.Copy !req
64. That's how I met Ursula.
His name is the Doctor.
That's how I met Victor Kennedy.Copy !req
65. You stupid man!Copy !req
66. That's how I met Jackie Tyler.
You don't meet many Elton's.Copy !req
67. And that's how I
finally met the Doctor...Copy !req
68. and realised the truth.Copy !req
69. I should say,Copy !req
70. this isn't my whole life -
it's not all spaceships and stuff.Copy !req
71. Cos I'm into all sorts of things.Copy !req
72. I like football.Copy !req
73. I like a drink. I like Spain.Copy !req
74. And if there's one thing I really,
really love,Copy !req
75. then it's Jeff Lynne
and the Electric Light Orchestra.Copy !req
76. Cos you can't beat a bit of ELO.Copy !req
77. So!Copy !req
78. Great big spaceship hanging over
London, imagine the theories!Copy !req
79. The internet went into meltdown!Copy !req
80. But I kept on digging.Copy !req
81. Something was going on.Copy !req
82. Oh, yes! And then one day,
on some obscure little blogCopy !req
83. by someone called Ursula Blake,
it was like a chance in a million.Copy !req
84. 'It was him. It was that man
again, but the photo was new,
it was taken on Christmas Day.Copy !req
85. 'But Christmas just gone
and he looked exactly the same.'
His name is the Doctor.Copy !req
86. Doctor what? That's all anyone knows.Copy !req
87. But Christmas Day, I was
taking photos all over the place.Copy !req
88. I went mad with it all, spaceships
and lasers and everything.Copy !req
89. We all went to Trafalgar Square
that night, cos everyone was
celebrating, just being alive.Copy !req
90. I snapped him in passing,
that's all. He was just some bloke.Copy !req
91. I didn't realise he was significant,
until Mr Skinner pointed it out.Copy !req
92. Who's Mr Skinner?Copy !req
93. Oh, there's a few of us.Copy !req
94. The inner sanctum.
All studying this Doctor.Copy !req
95. I've seen him,
the Doctor, I swear to you.Copy !req
96. I saw him when I was a kid. He was
in my house and he was downstairs.Copy !req
97. Don't tell me. He looked exactly
the same then as he does now. Yes!Copy !req
98. Yes!Copy !req
99. Oh, my God, you believe me!Copy !req
100. 'So that's how I met Ursula.
All thanks to the Doctor.Copy !req
101. 'Turns out we read all the same sites
and she only lived half a mile away.Copy !req
102. She was like a proper mate.
Poor Ursula.'Copy !req
103. But like she said, there was this
little community, the select few,Copy !req
104. all with their stories of the Doctor.Copy !req
105. 'This little gang used to meet up,
underneath the old library
on Maccateer Street.Copy !req
106. 'Mr Skinner, first name Colin,
but we always called him Mr Skinner.Copy !req
107. 'I don't know why, we just did.'
To me, the Doctor isn't a man,Copy !req
108. he's more a collection
of archetypes...Copy !req
109. 'Then there was Bridget.' All
these different Doctors come and go,Copy !req
110. but the single constant factor
is this faux-police box. It keeps
cropping up, throughout history.Copy !req
111. 'She lived way up north but she
travelled down just for the meetings.Copy !req
112. 'Then there was Bliss...'
What I'm trying to do,Copy !req
113. is sum up the Doctor,
what he means to us.Copy !req
114. 'She was ever so sweet, Bliss.Copy !req
115. '"Bless Bliss," we used to say.'
What he could represent
and what he should representCopy !req
116. and what he...Copy !req
117. never won't represent, sort of
thing. We should have a name.Copy !req
118. You know, as a group.Copy !req
119. Names are very important.Copy !req
120. What we need is a good, strong name,
like a team, something like...Copy !req
121. London Investigation
'n' Detective Agency.Copy !req
122. LINDA for short. Say it again?Copy !req
123. London Investigation
'n' Detective Agency.Copy !req
124. 'N'? Fish 'n' chips!Copy !req
125. Rock 'n' roll! Chakademus 'n' Pliers!Copy !req
126. LINDA! Oh, I like it, it's not too
solemn! I like the 'N'!Copy !req
127. We're the men from LINDA!
And the women! LINDA united!Copy !req
128. Did you think of that on the spot?
No, I've wanted to use it for years.Copy !req
129. I give you, LINDA!
LINDA!Copy !req
130. So we'd all meet up, every week.Copy !req
131. We'd talk about the Doctor for a bit,Copy !req
132. but after a while,
Bridget started cooking.Copy !req
133. Oh, my God, that's gorgeous!Copy !req
134. No, really. Wow!
Oh, rest of you, get your hands off!Copy !req
135. 'Next thing you know,
Mr Skinner started his readings,
cos he was writing his own novel.'Copy !req
136. "That's the last time you ride the
Ghost Train, Johnny Franzetta, now
say your prayers!"Copy !req
137. To be continued.Copy !req
138. No-o-o-o! 'Time went on, we got to
know each other better and better.'Copy !req
139. I only started all this because
my daughter disappeared.Copy !req
140. But it wasn't aliens
that took her away.Copy !req
141. It was just drugs.Copy !req
142. I come down to London every week
and I just keep looking for her.Copy !req
143. Oh, Bridget...Copy !req
144. 'Then it turned out that
Bridget could play the pianoCopy !req
145. and I confessed my love of ELO.
Next thing you know, musical LINDA!Copy !req
146. Just for fun.Copy !req
147. Your go.Copy !req
148. Grooves! Your go.Copy !req
149. Now, careful, mind the cables.Copy !req
150. 'And that's when it all changed.Copy !req
151. 'That Tuesday night in March.Copy !req
152. 'That's when he arrived.'Copy !req
153. Lights. 'That's when we met Victor
Kennedy and the Golden Age was gone.'Copy !req
154. So, we meet at last.Copy !req
155. "LINDA". Pleased to meet you, sir.
I'm sorry, was the music too loud?Copy !req
156. No, no, no, I don't shake hands.Copy !req
157. Back, back.
I suffer from a skin complaint.Copy !req
158. Ex-ee-ma. Oh, you mean Eczema.Copy !req
159. Oh, this is worse, much worse,
I blister to the touch. Back,
back, all of you further, further.Copy !req
160. Thank you.Copy !req
161. Sorry, don't mind me asking,
but who are you?Copy !req
162. I am your salvation.Copy !req
163. That's the Doctor.
That's really him.Copy !req
164. You've forgotten
your purpose in life.Copy !req
165. You with your band and your
cakes and your blubbing and
all the while he still exists.Copy !req
166. The Doctor. Look at him. Just look!Copy !req
167. Move back! Move back all of you.Copy !req
168. Wait for this bit. The picture
cuts out but the sound continues.Copy !req
169. Listen. Just listen. Listen
to the sound of the universe.Copy !req
170. That's...Copy !req
171. What is it? What's wrong? Leave him!Copy !req
172. You've heard it before, haven't you?Copy !req
173. When? When was it? Where?
Where were you?Copy !req
174. I'd forgotten...Copy !req
175. till now.Copy !req
176. But it was that night.Copy !req
177. What night?Copy !req
178. I was just a kid.Copy !req
179. That's why I went downstairs.Copy !req
180. It woke me up.Copy !req
181. That noise...Copy !req
182. But what is it?Copy !req
183. What does it mean?
That is the sound of his spaceship.Copy !req
184. Right then! Homework!
Using the Torchwood files,Copy !req
185. we can look at the old databases
in a completely new light.Copy !req
186. We are able to build up a more
detailed profile of the Doctor.
I've allocated tasks to each of you.Copy !req
187. I'd like you to... Careful!
Watch the ex-ee-ma!Copy !req
188. I would like you to
complete your targets.Copy !req
189. We'll meet back here this time
next week, one step closer
to catching the Doctor.Copy !req
190. Well, don't just sit there! Move!Copy !req
191. Um, Bliss. It is Bliss, isn't it?Copy !req
192. Yes. Could I have a word
with you in private, please?Copy !req
193. Course you can, yeah. Thank you.Copy !req
194. Goodbye, goodbye.Copy !req
195. Better get to work. Lots to do.Copy !req
196. I never thought of it as work. It's
what we always wanted, though -Copy !req
197. to find the Doctor. Yeah, I suppose.Copy !req
198. All of a sudden, without
anyone saying so,
we were working for Victor Kennedy.Copy !req
199. 'And we had to admit, he was right,
his methods were much more rigorous.Copy !req
200. 'It felt like we were getting closer
and closer to the Doctor.'Copy !req
201. Mr Kennedy? Yes.Copy !req
202. We were wondering... No sign of
Bliss, do you know where she is?Copy !req
203. Yes. Didn't she tell you? She's
getting married.
She left a message.Copy !req
204. It'll never last. Stupid girl.
Come on, back to work!Copy !req
205. But we did get lucky once.
A police box, newly-arrived...Copy !req
206. It says newly arrived
today in Woolwich.Copy !req
207. Well, don't just stand there!
Move! Move! Go! Go!Copy !req
208. But don't get excited.
That's where you came in.Copy !req
209. Woolwich, police box,
red bucket, blue bucket,Copy !req
210. me so stupid, etc...Copy !req
211. Useless! I just froze!Copy !req
212. You met him and you froze?
You stupid man!Copy !req
213. You can't hit me cos you don't
touch, you said so. I can use this!Copy !req
214. Use that cane on him and you'll
get one hell of a smack off me!Copy !req
215. And then a good kick. Is that
completely understood, Mr Kennedy?Copy !req
216. Duly noted.Copy !req
217. Ursula Blake,Copy !req
218. most likely to fight back.Copy !req
219. Right then! We'll change tack.
We'll approach this sideways.Copy !req
220. If we're to discover the
truth about the Doctor,Copy !req
221. then we should try to find... her.Copy !req
222. When it comes to the Doctor's
companion, the Torchwood
files are strangely lacking.Copy !req
223. It seems the evidence
has been corrupted,
something called Bad Wolf virus.Copy !req
224. At least we've got these
photographs.Copy !req
225. They're first-hand evidence...
Elton?Copy !req
226. Oh, it was a London accent,
definitely, she's from London.Copy !req
227. So we hit the streets.
We get out there.Copy !req
228. We take the photograph. Someone's
got to know who she is. Somewhere.Copy !req
229. Yes, but London's a big place.
I should know - my own
daughter's out there.Copy !req
230. Bridget, don't make this personal.Copy !req
231. I don't like to be touched literally
or metaphorically. I haven't got
the time.Copy !req
232. Find me that girl! Go!Copy !req
233. Now! Move!Copy !req
234. 'And so it began.
The impossible task -Copy !req
235. 'to scour the mean streets.Copy !req
236. 'To search a major capital
city for an unknown girl.Copy !req
237. To hunt down that face in a seething
metropolis of lost souls,Copy !req
238. 'to find that one girl
in ten million.'Copy !req
239. Oh, that's Rose Tyler,
she lives just down there,Copy !req
240. Bucknall House, number 48,
her mother's Jackie Tyler.
Nice family, bit odd.Copy !req
241. Oi! Jackie!
Hello, sweetheart!Copy !req
242. I'll see you down the Spinning Wheel
tonight, yeah? Pub quiz. Get 'em in!Copy !req
243. 'I'd been trained for this.Copy !req
244. 'Victor Kennedy's classes covered
basic surveillance and espionage.Copy !req
245. 'Step one, engage your target.Copy !req
246. 'Find some excuse to
start a conversation.Copy !req
247. 'But how was I gonna do this?'Copy !req
248. 'Scuse me, you couldn't give us quid
for two fifties, could you? Yeah.Copy !req
249. Ta-dah! Lovely, cheers.Copy !req
250. 'Step Two,
without provoking suspicion, get onCopy !req
251. 'first-name terms with the target.'
My name's Jackie, by the way.Copy !req
252. Um! Elton. Oh, you don't
meet many Eltons, do you?Copy !req
253. Apart from the obvious.Copy !req
254. 'Step three, ingratiate yourself
with a joke or some humorous device.'Copy !req
255. I tell you what, Elton, here we are,
complete strangers
and I'm flashing you my knickers!Copy !req
256. 'Step four, find some subtle way to
integrate yourself into the
target's household.'Copy !req
257. Mind you, I'm only down here
cos my washing machine's knackered.Copy !req
258. I don't suppose you're any good
at fixing things, are you?Copy !req
259. There we are, it was the fuse!Copy !req
260. Nothing wrong with the machine,
that's fine, all working.Copy !req
261. Oh, Elton, I should have you on tap!Copy !req
262. I used to have this little
mate called Mickey,
he did all that stuff.Copy !req
263. He's gone now, bless him.Copy !req
264. Well, if you need me, give us a call,
I'll jot down my number.Copy !req
265. You do that, and I'll make us
a cup of tea, go and sit down.Copy !req
266. Put the telly on if you want,Copy !req
267. I can't bear it silent.Copy !req
268. It's just me, these days,
rattling about.Copy !req
269. There's my daughter,
but she's gone travelling.Copy !req
270. I keep her bedroom all nice and
ready though, just in case she comes
back. And her name is? Rose.Copy !req
271. That's a nice name - Rose.Copy !req
272. So, where is she travelling?Copy !req
273. All over. She's got her mobile,
I get a call, now and then.
Not as often as I'd like.Copy !req
274. Still - that age, who can
be bothered phoning home?Copy !req
275. Who's she with, is it mates, or...?
Just mates.Copy !req
276. Well, if I had you,
making a nice cuppa tea like this,
I wouldn't stray far from home.Copy !req
277. You're a charmer.Copy !req
278. Say it again!Copy !req
279. Magnificent! Oh, I could kiss you,
except I can't. The ex-ee-ma!Copy !req
280. I even got a picture of her
on my phone. That's amazing.Copy !req
281. You've achieved Steps 1-4 in precise
order, how did you manage it?Copy !req
282. Oh, I had to work hard. She keeps
everything very close to her chest.Copy !req
283. That's hell of a chest.
But how do you move on?Copy !req
284. Step five, that's the problem.
Step Five.Copy !req
285. This week's homework! I want a full
plan of attack from each of you!Copy !req
286. Now go on! Vamoose!Copy !req
287. Avanti! There's work to do!Copy !req
288. And Elton, keep infiltrating!Copy !req
289. You will do anything to get that
information, boy, anything! Yes, sirCopy !req
290. Oh, oh, Bridget...Copy !req
291. Bridget? Oh, yes. Could I have a
word with you in private? Um.Copy !req
292. Mr Skinner's giving me a lift.Copy !req
293. I can drop you to the station.
I'm sure Mr Skinner won't mind?Copy !req
294. Not at all.Copy !req
295. Bridget, I'll see you next week.
All right, then.Copy !req
296. Bye bye.Copy !req
297. Now Mr Skinner, I don't mean to pry.Copy !req
298. But did you give Bridget a little
kiss back there? I think I did.Copy !req
299. And, if you get your way, might
there be more little kisses between
the two of you? I think there might.Copy !req
300. I knew it! That's brilliant.Copy !req
301. Now don't get excited. We'll see.Copy !req
302. Infiltration went well,
cos Jackie kept phoning up,
needing this and needing that.Copy !req
303. It was strange, the amount
of things that needed doing,
it's like that flat was jinxed.Copy !req
304. It's weird, these fuses keep blowing.Copy !req
305. You must be near a sub-station,
cos then you get power surges.Copy !req
306. Still, there we go, fixed!Copy !req
307. There we are. Little reward
for my favourite handyman.Copy !req
308. Oh, well I shouldn't really,
I've got the car outside.Copy !req
309. You can always splash out on a taxi,Copy !req
310. or... whatever.Copy !req
311. See what happens.Copy !req
312. Right, yeah. Cheers.Copy !req
313. Cheers!Copy !req
314. Very nice, what's that, French?Copy !req
315. Suppose so. They know how
to do things, the French.Copy !req
316. Is that from Rose?
I mean, is she in France?Copy !req
317. My daughter won't be coming back
tonight, just in case you're
wondering.Copy !req
318. We've got the place to ourselves.Copy !req
319. Right.Copy !req
320. Nice music.Copy !req
321. Il Divo. Yeah.Copy !req
322. You were saying.Copy !req
323. Power surges.
From the sub-station, yeah.Copy !req
324. Is that why it gets so hot in here?Copy !req
325. Is it hot? Oh, I think so.
You should take your jacket off.Copy !req
326. No, I'm fine. Oh, look at you, you
must be boiling. Oh, your shirt!Copy !req
327. Sorry! No, I'm fine, it's all right.
I've ruined it.Copy !req
328. No, honestly, it's fine. Take
it off, I'll put it in the wash.Copy !req
329. Oh, come on, it's only a little drop.Copy !req
330. There now.Copy !req
331. Ruined.Copy !req
332. And there I was.Copy !req
333. The ultimate Step Five!Copy !req
334. The perfect infiltration.Copy !req
335. Target...Copy !req
336. Jackie Tyler.Copy !req
337. You're right - it is a bit hot!
But it's about to get hotter!Copy !req
338. I'll see you soon.Copy !req
339. All right, be careful. Bye.Copy !req
340. Everything all right?Copy !req
341. That was my daughter.Copy !req
342. Oh, look at you. I'm sorry.Copy !req
343. I was just being stupid.Copy !req
344. Is she OK?Copy !req
345. She's so far away.Copy !req
346. I get left here sometimes...Copy !req
347. and I don't know where she is.Copy !req
348. Anything could be
happening to her, anything.Copy !req
349. And I just go a bit mad.Copy !req
350. Put your shirt back on.Copy !req
351. Where is she?Copy !req
352. Doesn't matter.Copy !req
353. I'm sorry.Copy !req
354. You'd better go.Copy !req
355. Actually...Copy !req
356. 'And that's when it struck me.Copy !req
357. 'Funny, the things you think of,
with your shirt off.Copy !req
358. 'But that's when I realised
what was really important.'Copy !req
359. Never mind about Rose.Copy !req
360. I'm not even gonna ask.Copy !req
361. And I will put my shirt back on,
because I am gonna go out
and get us both a pizza.Copy !req
362. Cos I reckon you need cheering up.
She goes swanning off and who's
left to care about you, eh?Copy !req
363. So I say, nice bit of pizza,
we'll put the telly on nice and loud,Copy !req
364. we'll annoy that woman next door,
just you and me, as proper mates.
Yeah?Copy !req
365. Mates! Go on,Copy !req
366. say, "Yes."Copy !req
367. Yes!Copy !req
368. All of a sudden,
a lot of things made sense.Copy !req
369. I'd got so lost in conspiracies
and aliens and targets,
I'd been missing the obvious.Copy !req
370. Cos I did like Jackie.Copy !req
371. But I liked someone
else even more.Copy !req
372. Right. Let's get inside, then.Copy !req
373. The pizza's getting cold.Copy !req
374. I went in your coat.Copy !req
375. For once in my life,
I thought, I'll pay.Copy !req
376. I thought, he's such a nice man,
he won't accept anythingCopy !req
377. so I'll just slip a tenner in his
pocket and look what I found.Copy !req
378. A photograph of my daughter.Copy !req
379. No, no, no. It's not like that.
I can explain. I bet you can.Copy !req
380. I wasn't being pervy or anything,
I wasn't after her.Copy !req
381. I was looking for the Doctor.Copy !req
382. Oh, I know that. I worked that out.
Cos it's never me, is it?Copy !req
383. No, that's how it started,
but I changed my mind.Copy !req
384. Let me tell you something
about those who get left behind.Copy !req
385. Because it's hard
and that's what you become. Hard.Copy !req
386. But if there's
one thing I've learnt,
it's that I will never let her down.Copy !req
387. So whatever you want,
I'm warning you. Back off.Copy !req
388. But Jackie, I only wanted to
meet him. I thought you liked me.Copy !req
389. I do. Just get out of here!Copy !req
390. I said get out!Copy !req
391. And leave me alone!Copy !req
392. And she was right.
It's shameful. We used that woman!Copy !req
393. I knew I couldn't trust you!
You broke cover, you stupid
little man, you failed Step Five.Copy !req
394. I don't care about Step Five!Copy !req
395. Cos it's all gone wrong, Mr Kennedy,
ever since you turned up.Copy !req
396. We used to come here, every week
and we'd have a laugh.Copy !req
397. We were friends.Copy !req
398. No wonder they stopped coming,
I mean there's no Bliss any more and
even Bridget, she hasn't turned up.Copy !req
399. I've been phoning and phoning,
there's no reply. Who can blame her?Copy !req
400. I'm sorry, Victor,
but you're on your own.Copy !req
401. Cos I'm leaving,
and so are you, Mr Skinner.Copy !req
402. And as for you, Ursula,
you're coming with meCopy !req
403. and we're going to the Golden Locust
and we're gonna have a Chinese!Copy !req
404. What's that got to do with it?
I mean, you and me, together.Copy !req
405. Having a meal.Copy !req
406. If you want.Copy !req
407. Oh, I'd love it!Copy !req
408. But you can't leave.
You'll never know what he was doing.Copy !req
409. You'll never know what he was doing
in your house, all those years ago.Copy !req
410. No, I'll never know.Copy !req
411. Ursula?Copy !req
412. Get your stuff.Copy !req
413. Mr Skinner, are you coming?Copy !req
414. Not to the Chinese, if you don't
mind, just sort of walking out.Copy !req
415. I certainly am! Victor...Copy !req
416. Good luck.Copy !req
417. Goodbye.Copy !req
418. Mr Skinner?Copy !req
419. W-would you stay
for a minute, please?Copy !req
420. We're walking out.Copy !req
421. I've got numbers for Bridget.Copy !req
422. I've kept records. I've got old
numbers. We could track her down.
Together, you and I.Copy !req
423. That's more like
the old team spirit.Copy !req
424. You two have a nice time.
I hope you find her.Copy !req
425. I'll e-mail you.Copy !req
426. Just come a little closer.Copy !req
427. Mm! Yeah, I love prawns.Copy !req
428. Oh, I left my phone.Copy !req
429. Really? Yeah. It's not in my pocket.Copy !req
430. So much for the big exit.Copy !req
431. Yeah. C'mon, hurry up.Copy !req
432. I'm not stopping, I just left my...Copy !req
433. phone.Copy !req
434. Victor? Take your phone and go.Copy !req
435. Where's Mr Skinner?Copy !req
436. He's gone to the toilet.Copy !req
437. But we haven't got toilets. We have
to use the pub on the corner.Copy !req
438. Well, that's where he is, then.Copy !req
439. Help me!Copy !req
440. What was that? It was nothing.
It was nothing! Help me! Get out.Copy !req
441. That's Mr Skinner.Copy !req
442. Victor, look at your hands.Copy !req
443. Look at the rest of me!Copy !req
444. You've dabbled with aliens.Copy !req
445. Now meet the genuine article!Copy !req
446. Oh, my God! You're a...Copy !req
447. thing. A thing?Copy !req
448. This thing is my true form.Copy !req
449. Better than that crude
pink shape you call a body.Copy !req
450. What happened? Where am I?Copy !req
451. Ursula, is that you?Copy !req
452. That's Mr Skinner.Copy !req
453. What have you done to him?
I've absorbed him.Copy !req
454. Colin? Is that you?
Colin? Bridget, my love?Copy !req
455. Oh, my God, that's Bridget!Copy !req
456. Colin, where are you?
I'm here, Bridget. It's all right.Copy !req
457. I'm close.Copy !req
458. You've absorbed them both.Copy !req
459. What about Bliss? Where is she?Copy !req
460. What?Copy !req
461. I said you really don't want
to know. You've absorbed them.Copy !req
462. You're some sort of...Copy !req
463. Absorbathon. An Absorbaling.Copy !req
464. An Abzorbaloff!Copy !req
465. Yes. I like that. Let them go.Copy !req
466. I'm ordering you.Copy !req
467. Let those people go!Copy !req
468. But they taste so sweet.Copy !req
469. Just think about the Doctor.Copy !req
470. Oh, how will HE taste?Copy !req
471. All that experience,
all that knowledge.Copy !req
472. And if I've got to absorb Jackie
Tyler to get to him, then so be it.Copy !req
473. Don't you dare!Copy !req
474. If I have to beat them out of you...Copy !req
475. No, no, please don't hit me!Copy !req
476. Look at me!
I'm such a slow and clumsy beast.Copy !req
477. Please don't hit me.Copy !req
478. Well, then, give them back.Copy !req
479. What, you mean like this?Copy !req
480. Just one touch! That's all it takes!Copy !req
481. No! No!Copy !req
482. Leave her alone! Don't touch me.Copy !req
483. Oh, Elton. I'm so sorry.
You can't touch me.Copy !req
484. Ursula!Copy !req
485. "Most likely to fight back" indeed!Copy !req
486. Leave her alone!Copy !req
487. Yes! No! That's not fair!Copy !req
488. She tastes like chicken.Copy !req
489. Elton, where are you?Copy !req
490. Please.Copy !req
491. Mr Kennedy, please.Copy !req
492. I'm asking you.Copy !req
493. I'm begging you.Copy !req
494. Give her back to me. I can't.Copy !req
495. Once they've been absorbed,
the process is irreversible.Copy !req
496. Wait a minute.Copy !req
497. Now I've been absorbed,
I can read his thoughts!Copy !req
498. Oh, my God.Copy !req
499. Elton, you're next! Get out of here!Copy !req
500. Now you've seen him,
he can't let you go. Just run!Copy !req
501. Go on! Never mind me, get out!Copy !req
502. Isn't she the clever one? Run, Elton!Copy !req
503. RUN! Save yourself, boy!
Run for your life!Copy !req
504. Oh, what's the matter?Copy !req
505. Have you given up so soon?Copy !req
506. There's no point.Copy !req
507. Where would I go?Copy !req
508. Everything I ever wanted...Copy !req
509. Has been absorbed.
Oh, Elton. Don't say that.Copy !req
510. But it's true!Copy !req
511. Then join us. Join us, little man.Copy !req
512. Come on. There's everlasting peace.
Come on, join us -Copy !req
513. dissolve into me.Copy !req
514. Someone wants a word with you.Copy !req
515. You've upset my mum.Copy !req
516. A great big absorbing creature
from outer space,
and you're having a go at me?Copy !req
517. No-one upsets my mum. At last.Copy !req
518. The greatest feast of all -
the Doctor. Interesting.Copy !req
519. Some sort of Absorbatrix.Copy !req
520. Absorbaklon, Abzorbaloff...Copy !req
521. Abzorbaloff, yes.
Is it me, or is he a bit Slitheen?Copy !req
522. Not from
Raxacoricofallapatorius, are you?Copy !req
523. No, I'm not! They're swine.Copy !req
524. I spit on them.
I was born on their twin planet.Copy !req
525. Really? What's the twin planet
of Raxacoricofallapatorius? Clom.Copy !req
526. Clom? Clom, yes. And I'll return
there victorious, once I possess
your travelling machine.Copy !req
527. Well, that's never gonna happen.
Oh, it will.Copy !req
528. You'll surrender yourself to me,
Doctor, or this one dies.Copy !req
529. You see, I've read about you,
Doctor.Copy !req
530. I've studied you. So passionate.Copy !req
531. So sweet. You wouldn't let
an innocent man die.Copy !req
532. And I'll absorb him
unless you give yourself to me.Copy !req
533. Sweet, maybe.Copy !req
534. Passionate, I suppose. But
don't ever mistake that for nice.Copy !req
535. Do what you want.Copy !req
536. He'll die, Doctor! Go on, then.Copy !req
537. So be it. Mind you, the others
might have something to say. Others?Copy !req
538. He's right! The Doctor's right!
We can't let him.Copy !req
539. Oh, Mr Skinner, Bridget, pull.Copy !req
540. No! For God's sake, pull,
if it's the last thing we ever do!Copy !req
541. Bliss! All of us, together -Copy !req
542. come on! Pull!Copy !req
543. LINDA united!Copy !req
544. PU-U-U-ULL!Copy !req
545. Elton! The cane! Break it!Copy !req
546. My cane!Copy !req
547. Y'stupid man!Copy !req
548. Oh, no!Copy !req
549. What did I do?
The cane created a limitation field.Copy !req
550. Now it's broken, he can't stop.Copy !req
551. The absorber is being absorbed.
By what?Copy !req
552. By the Earth.Copy !req
553. Bye-bye, Elton.Copy !req
554. Bye-bye.Copy !req
555. Who was she?Copy !req
556. That was Ursula.Copy !req
557. And that's it.Copy !req
558. Almost.Copy !req
559. Because the Doctor
still had more to say.Copy !req
560. You don't remember, do you?
And then he explained.Copy !req
561. That night, all those years ago...Copy !req
562. There was a shadow in your house.Copy !req
563. A living shadow in the darkness.Copy !req
564. An elemental shade had
escaped from the Howling Halls.Copy !req
565. I stopped it, but...Copy !req
566. I wasn't in time to save her.Copy !req
567. I'm sorry.Copy !req
568. Because that was the night
my mother died.Copy !req
569. We forget because we must.Copy !req
570. So, there you go.Copy !req
571. Turns out I've had
the most terrible things happen
and the most brilliant things,Copy !req
572. and sometimes, well,
I can't tell the difference -Copy !req
573. they're all the same thing,
they're just me.Copy !req
574. You know, Stephen King
said once, he said,Copy !req
575. "Salvation and damnation
are the same thing,"Copy !req
576. and I never knew what he meant.Copy !req
577. But I do now...Copy !req
578. Cos the Doctor might be
wonderful, but, thinking back,Copy !req
579. I was having such a special time.Copy !req
580. Just for a bit,
I had this nice little gang.Copy !req
581. And they were destroyed.Copy !req
582. It's not his fault,Copy !req
583. but maybe that's what happens
if you touch the Doctor,Copy !req
584. even for a second.Copy !req
585. I keep thinking of Rose and JackieCopy !req
586. and how much longer
before they pay the price?Copy !req
587. Oh, now don't get all miserable.Copy !req
588. Come on, Elton, you've still got me.Copy !req
589. Oh, yeah,Copy !req
590. cos the Doctor said he could do
one last thing with his magic wand.Copy !req
591. If I can key into the
absorption matrix and
separate the last victim...Copy !req
592. It's too late for total
reconstruction, but...Copy !req
593. Elton! Fetch a spade!Copy !req
594. Even then, after all that,Copy !req
595. the Doctor saved me one last time.Copy !req
596. Here she is. Could be worse.Copy !req
597. At least I'll never age.Copy !req
598. And it really is quite peaceful.
You'd be surprised.Copy !req
599. It's a relationship. Of sorts.Copy !req
600. We manage.Copy !req
601. We've even got a bit of a love life.Copy !req
602. Oh, let's not go into that.Copy !req
603. And I don't care what anyone thinks -
I love her.Copy !req
604. Aaah!Copy !req
605. But the thing is...Copy !req
606. There y'are.Copy !req
607. I've even bought a remote zoom.Copy !req
608. But what I wanted to say is...Copy !req
609. ..y'know, when you're a kid,Copy !req
610. they tell you it's all "grow up,
get a job, get married, get a house,Copy !req
611. "have a kid and that's it".Copy !req
612. No.Copy !req
613. But the truth is, the world is
so much stranger than that...Copy !req
614. .. and so much darker...Copy !req
615. and so much madder.Copy !req
616. And SO much better.Copy !req
617. 30th Olympiad! That's great!Copy !req
618. They're not safe!
They're in the garden!
I'm begging you!Copy !req
619. In the last six days, three of
your children have been stolen.Copy !req
620. If we find the source
of that power...Copy !req
621. They're kids' pictures. Now get out!Copy !req
622. Chloe has a power. She's using
it to snatch the kids. Get out.Copy !req
623. If living things
can become drawings,Copy !req
624. then maybe drawings
can become living things.Copy !req
