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