Please take a moment to use the washrooms
and collect up all your belongings.
Excuse me. Is this washbag yours?
I just found it in the aisle.
Yes. Sorry.
I'm so clumsy.
My sister's always having a go at me for this.
Thanks. No problem at all.
Enjoy your flight.

You've been sick, though.
Appendicitis, right?
That's why we ain't seen you?
Oh, yeah, yeah. And the hernia before that?
Oh, yeah. That was bad.
And that detached retina? Pfft!
That sounds painful. You've been so unlucky.
So unlucky. So what, we don't see you
and now you're off travelling?
Only for a bit. Better be.
I've missed you, man.
We all do.
Is there a problem, guys?
SONYA: Just give me his number.
No!
Alexa, play Rubber Soul.
Why not? Because!
I don't want to give you his number. I'm packing.
This is the third secondment you've been selected for.
Is it? I thought it was the second. You're not even going to be here.
And all this during your probationer period?
I know. It's amazing.
Is his number in here? Oh!
Play Rubber Soul!
ALEXA: The nearest shoe shop is 1.2 miles walking distance.
I think it just hates your voice, Dad.
And your boss is all right with you being away on this?
Totally. He's totally all right with it.
I'm not all right with this, Yaz.
This is your fourth secondment.
Fourth time I get a load of secretive paperwork,
and you not telling me anything.
Why do I keep losing my best probationer?
It's all really good experience. Honest.
I'm not daft.
Have you had a tap on the shoulder? Is this undercover?
Sort of.
Last time.
You have to be here to finish your probation.
I know. I'm coming back, I promise.
And I presume they're with you?
Four years since your procedure. Time flies.
Yeah. Don't it just? Test results are all

That way, we find out who wants us.

What have you idiots done with my car?
Who's talking?
Your car just assassinated its driver
and then attempted to kill us!
That's not possible.
Tell me who you are, and I'll tell you face-to-face
just how possible that actually was.
This is C. I was having you brought to London.
To MI6.
What? MI6 is trying to kill us?
No! Well, you nearly managed it.
All right, C, you want us? We want answers.
We're coming in.
Ah! At least they managed
to transport my TARDIS without damage.
Ryan, MI6!
I always wanted to be a spy.
You'd be a rubbish spy. I'd be a great spy.
I'd just blend in. Well, well, well.
Finally we meet.
You actually do exist!
What?
HE WHISPERS
Don't be ridiculous, Franklin. I've read the files.
The Doctor is a man.
I've had an upgrade.
Hi.
Oh.
You just had us picked up like criminals
and put in a car which tried to kill us.
We were trying to bring you here, not kill you,
but our systems got hacked.
Not exactly the best demonstration of MI6 skills.
I have been authorised
to speak on behalf of every security agency
around the globe.
We need your help...
..Doctor.
Over the past week, there's been a spate of attacks
on intelligence officers worldwide,
of every nationality.
None of these attacks has been ordered
by rival intelligence agencies.
At least that's what you're all telling each other.
No, we all have a very good working knowledge
of what our enemies are up to.
No agency possesses the technology
to carry out one of these attacks.
None of us understands how it was done.
Or even what has been done.
But every agent has suffered the same fate.
MONITOR BEEPS
She was found unconscious on the floor
of an aeroplane washroom on a flight to Tokyo.
She'd made pre-arranged contact with an informant.
Is she in a coma?
Apparently, it's a little more horrific than that.
Now, I'm told this is your expertise -
dealing with the impossible.
You're right.
That is impossible.
Her DNA's been rewritten.
Every strand corrupted and reshaped.
She's no longer human.
Just a shell with a human appearance.
Is she going to live, Doc?
There's nothing of her TO live.
It's like she's been erased.
This is beyond any human technology.
Ah.
I was rather worried you were going to say that.
Doctor, the security of this entire planet is at stake.
Can we rely upon you?
Anaesthetic darts, laser shoe gun,
infrared ID duplicator,
calendar hacker,
lock-breakers,
rocket-launcher cufflinks,
retinal ID decoder
and tongue-immobiliser chewing gum.
How much more do you want?
Yeah, it's great. Keep 'em coming, C.
Yeah, bring on the bling. They are not toys!
Yeah. They're not toys, Graham.
No, they're not, Ryan,
and if you say otherwise, I will shoot you
with my laser shoe!
All of the assassinated agents were investigating
leads relating to this man.
Daniel Barton. Born in Bromsgrove.
Now lives just north of San Francisco.
He's the founder of VOR. The search engine.
Web apps, social, global mapping, advertising,
scientific and medical research,
robotics, data polling,
human analytics...
Right now, VOR is more powerful than most nations.
Daniel Barton is the man
who built it all up from the ground.
We're going to need your best man on this.
What do you call him? Horizon-watcher?
Oh.
Exactly. Well, he...um...
He left.
I...sacked him.
The only person with an open mind about all this
and you let him go?
MI6 has never countenanced
the possibility of extraterrestrial life.
Well, you should talk to your mates at GCHQ!
The country has other organisations
that deal with all that!
UNIT. Even Torchwood.
They're all gone.
Oh, C! You took your eye off the horizon
just as things were coming over it.
Don't worry. I'll call him.
You can't. He's off-grid.
We can't find him anywhere. Believe me, we've tried.
Shh. I'm WhatsApping.
Hi. It's me.
I'm at MI6 with C. Crisis.
Big crisis.
Serious crisis.
Big, serious crisis.
And C says you were right and he's sorry for being an idiot.
I did not use those words!
Send us your location. Kisses.
It's quite French, that, isn't it?
Kisses? PHONE PINGS
Ah!
See? Yes?
It's a fish. I know!
Can we please focus? Daniel Barton
isn't just a powerful businessman.
He was also one of our agents
when he first went to work in the US.
Then he withdrew cooperation.
It's possible he became a double agent.
Or even a triple. Who for?
Well... GLASS SHATTERS
HE GASPS

Go!
GROANING
Get to the TARDIS!
Agh!
We've got to get out of here.
We've still got the gadgets.
We just saw the head of MI6 get assassinated.
Yeah, by the same sort of bolts that came through that sat nav.
Where's that picture? I need to set the coordinates. Ooh, I've got it.
So, wrong place, wrong time, twice in one day.
That's got to make us targets.
And why do you keep looking at pictures of a fish?
Steganography. There's another image
hidden within the pixels of that photo.
It's basic spycraft in your time.
Easy way to smuggle out information
because there's no pattern to look for.
CRACKING No two stegs are the same.
RYAN: So one's hidden inside the other? Doc... Exactly.
Luckily, I can read pixels. I took a correspondence class.
Doc... Ooh, the outback.

Doctor, something's trying to get in!

GRAHAM: Yeah, but what was it?
At a guess, the same thing that attacked all those spies.
And possibly us. SONIC BUZZES
What?
No readings?
The sonic can usually read everything.
All right, park that.
Live attacks. They're after us, but we need intel.
Split resources. Graham, me and you are off to Australia
to see my old mate from MI6. I say old mate -
I've met him once, but he seemed very nice.
We text, though. Does that count?
If you say so. Yaz, Ryan,
how do you feel about undercover work?
Definitely! I don't know.
Daniel Barton - he's our best lead.
Well, he's our only lead.
We'll get you a cover story. Hack his diary, get in there,
check him out. Infiltrate VOR. Have a nose
around their systems. Be spies, basically.
What, with absolutely no training?
We got the gadgets. All the gear, but no idea.
Oh, thanks a lot. No, no, no, I think you'll be great.
I have total confidence, you know?
Just, um...
Just be careful, though.
It's safe for them, though, right?
Yeah. 80% sure.
75.
40% absolute minimum.
Take this.
Bio-scanner disguised as a digital recorder.
I want to know everything about Daniel Barton.
Like Graham said, be careful.
Stay in touch.
And remember - Rule 1 of espionage -
trust no-one.
Diary hacked, got us in.
Loving these toys.
Which building is it? That one there.
Though according to the files,
this whole development is down to Barton.
So, you journalist, me photographer?
Yeah. That works, doesn't it?
I reckon. We've just got to try
and be confident with it, haven't we?
Try not to panic that we're blagging our way in
on someone who might be dangerous.
And don't obsess on our total lack of spy training.
Yeah. Don't obsess on that.
Think how the Doctor would do it.
Swan in like she owns the place,
big smiles, loads of chat, total confidence.
We can do this.
Why are you looking so worried?
I decided my spy name would be Logan, and now I'm worried
I don't look anything like Hugh Jackman.
Ryan, you're panicking.
Rule 1 - no panicking.
I thought Rule 1 was don't trust anybody!
Rule 1a, then - no panicking
while you're not trusting anyone!
I am so sorry about the diary snafu, sir.
Oh, dear, this must be them.
Hi! I'm sure you recognise Mr Barton.
Certainly do.
This is Sofia Afzal. Hi.
And this is Logan...? I'm Logan.
The name's Logan Jackson. I'm the photographer.
I'm Sofia. He's nervous.
Big fan of yours.
HE GIGGLES I'm not nervous. Who's nervous?
Hi.
Logan. I'm... I'm Logan.
Daniel.
Don't be nervous. I don't bite.
Only my own staff. Especially after this mix-up.
I had to fire half the PR team.
You haven't? No, not half.
Uh... He's kidding. Just...two.
Shall we go up?
I'm sure they'll be able to find other jobs. Won't they?
TARDIS THRUMS
Worth racing up from the city
just for that. Got to be a trick, right?
Projection? Mirrors?
Say hello to the Doctor.
I see you decoded the fish.
Fancy a cuppa? Very much.
Hello. This is my friend, Graham.
O. Sorry, you're...? O.
O? O.
Oh. It was a joke
by the others at MI6.
Whenever I came into the room to meet C,
he'd go, "Oh, God!"
Oh!
It sort of stuck, and now I've owned it.
This is Seesay and Browning.
Just arrived.
Australian Secret Service.
We'll be here for the whole of your visit.
We're under orders to keep all of you safe.
Safe from what?
Not sure.
You're going to be a right lot of help, then, aren't you?
Can I take a nose around your gaff?
I love the outback.
I once lived in the outback for 123 years.
I saw some great rocks.
Cosy!
You mean messy.
You're right, I do.
Didn't realise you were this much of a hoarder.
What is all this stuff?
The full MI6 record of the unexplained.
As compiled by me.
Human disappearances, sightings of unidentified objects,
mysterious beings, possible alien incursions
going back centuries.
And a complete set of Fortean Times in mint condition.
Look at all the evidence I gathered.
And they just mocked me.
No-one's mocking you now.
I heard C was shot.
We were there.
Nearly got us an' all.
Does this connect to the attacks on agents?
I have been monitoring the chatter, Doctor.
Is it aliens?
Aliens attacking spies all over the world?
And rewriting their DNA.
That's terrifying. But...
Wow! Why would they do that? I don't know.
They almost infiltrated my TARDIS as we were taking off.
I thought you might have something
in your research banks that might give us some clues.
Wow! This is some set-up. Paranoid, are we?
No. I prefer cautious.
I like to know if anything's watching me.
And if you're already in the middle of all of this,
how do you know they won't follow you here?
How do you know you haven't become targets too?
BARTON: I have to be honest with you - you only got in
cos you're Brits.
And my mum reads your paper.
She's old.
Still into legacy media.
We know you're busy,
so Logan will take a few photos while we chat.
OK if I record?
BEEPING Right, then.
Good to go?
Just searching you up.
Check you are who you say you are.
Fire away, then.
Boy from Bromsgrove.
Council estate, local comprehensive.
Now with his own collection of planes and motorbikes.
And a private airport.
We couldn't afford to go abroad when I was a kid.
Now flying's one of my big hobbies.
I've even got my own passenger plane.
I fly my mates around the world
and insult them over the intercom during the flight.
CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS
I bet that goes down well. So, how did you end up here, then?
A combination of inspiring computer science teacher,
plus being one of the few non-white faces at my school.
I spent a lot of time in my bedroom with my computer.
I started small, just trying to build a knowledge base.
Trying to connect people with data.
And that became the biggest search engine on the planet.
And more. This company is far more
than just a search engine now.
Sure. But the same principles apply.
The more data we share, the better it is for the world.
Unless you count disinformation.
Online abuse. Cyber bullying.
All of which you've been accused of ignoring.
Haven't you?
Well, we have three start-ups currently trying to figure out
how to combat them.
We did something great, and it got hijacked.
I get to see both sides of humanity in this job.
And do you know what, Sofia? It turns out
you can't entirely trust everyone.
PHONE VIBRATES
Sorry. I've got to cut this short.
Something needs my attention. We were just getting started.
You want to know who I am?
You want to see my house, meet my friends?
Cos it's my birthday tomorrow.
I'm having a party.
Everyone who knows me will be there. Come along -
as my apology for running out on you.
I've managed to duplicate his access pass.
If we find a place to hide and do some snooping around
whilst everyone knocks off...
Hey! Why are you looking all weird?
DNA profile.
Only 93% human.
What's the other 7%?
Who is this guy?
This place - it's open and flat and empty the whole way round.
So why does it feel like
there are things moving out there?
WHIRRING AND BEEPING
What just happened?
Two movement sensors tripped.
What's doing that?
What have you brought here, Doctor?
I don't know.
Let's take a look outside.
Looking outside was actually quite low on my list.
But when does she ever listen to me?

There's something...
It's like I can sense them.
I know what you mean. They're out there, hiding.
Tripping the sensors to let us know that they're here.
It's like they're watching us.
Like animals stalking their prey.
Sorry, that wasn't helpful.
From what I understand, we were sent here cos you're one
of the few people that can stop the attacks on our colleagues.
So please, go inside,
figure it out, and let us do the job we came for. Doc...
..come on.
SEESAY: I'll take round the back. Stay on comms.

We can't fight them out here, Doctor.

Fine.
No signals off any of them.
They've just obliterated those bodies. What can they be?
BEEPING Looks like they're moving.
They're surrounding the building, look.
That's what we want. Do we?
Yeah.
Just a little closer...
HE GRUNTS
Did you kill 'em? More like they retreated.
How did you know that would work? I didn't. Gambled.
Some kit you've got here.
I've had a few years to rig it out.
Just in case. No, no, look.
There's one still outside.
Plan B. I've got a plan B.
It's in the blueprints, Doctor, just under the folder.
I rigged it in case anything got past the first line of defence.
It's coming through the wall! How can it do that?
Well, physical boundaries don't stop it.
It's still not used to this planet,
or maybe even this reality.
Spring-loaded? Yep.
What are you talking about?
Oh, you could have warned me about that!
Re-route the charge. We've got to keep it in there.
A bit quicker! Yes! Doing my best.
That thing can't hold it. Is he just here for the running commentary?
SCREECHING
It worked! It actually... It actually worked!
SPARKING AND FIZZING
Who are you?
What are you doing to the people on this planet?
Why are you changing their DNA?
And why spies? Why are you only attacking spies?
What are you, exactly, except for reluctant to talk?
I'm thinking one more blast.
How many are you,
in your race or species or whatever you are?
Where are you from?
CREATURE: Far beyond.
So you can communicate, then.
Beyond where?
Your understanding!
CHUCKLES
I think it's laughing at you, Doc. Yes, I got that!
Is this your native form,
wherever it is you're from?
Is this what you look like at home?
We take this form to mock you.
Your shape amuses us.
Very funny.
We are stable now.
We are ready.
What does that mean, stable?
Ready for what?
To take this. To take this what? Hut?
Country? Planet?
Universe.
RYAN: Data from Barton's pass says
he left the building hours ago.
Everyone must have gone by now.
Let's have a look.
BEEP
We're in.
Right. Got to be quick.
If the Doctor's right,
that should download every piece of data
his computer has ever had access to.
Have you seen this?
What? That thing in the case over there? Yeah, a bit creepy.
No. All these cameras.
He's got screens monitoring half the building.
Control freak, innit?
How long do you reckon the thing's going to take?
Let's see.
Still clear?
Yep, all good.
You know my sister's still proper cross
I haven't given her your phone number.
Why haven't you? Ryan, you're my mate.
I don't want you snogging my sister!
She's all right, your sister.
Can you not, please? Just give me her number, Yaz.
Shut up! I could be your brother-in-law.
I'd be a good brother-in-law.
BEEPING
Barton's back in the building.
His pass just got access. He's coming this way!
I'm not done! How close is he?
Quick, Yaz! He's coming!
Get off the computer!
Bag, bag, bag...
There it is.
I know you're here.
Show yourselves.
FIZZING AND CRACKING
CREATURE: There have been obstacles.
I told you to be discreet.
We must remove them all immediately.
No.
The project must continue as planned.
We must defend.
HE BREATHES DEEPLY
He knows what they are.
Come on, out!
No.
Let's see what else is here.
No. No.
FIZZING AND CRACKING
Yaz! Obstacle!
SHE SCREAMS
Yaz!
What have you done with her?
Get her back here right now! Where is she?
She is gone.
I'm sorry, Yaz.
SHE GASPS
OK.
PC Khan.
Nothing to worry about.
ECHOING: Hello?
Anyone here?
Ryan?!
Interesting. That glow's increasing.
Life getting more intense...
It's fighting back. ..or something going on?
No.
Stay away from me!
What's happening?
This isn't good, Doctor.
It's trying to overload my system.
HE GROANS
It's like it's taken a suicide pill!
No.
SHE SCREAMS
ALL GASP
Yaz!
Turn the power off in there. It's already blown out.
Yaz! How are you even here?
PHONE RINGS
Doctor, you've got to help!
I've lost Yaz!
Yaz? I've got her.
We're coming for you now.
You OK?
Get any sleep?
What happened to you?
Don't know.
It were just like...
..nothingness.
Nowhere.
And I was totally alone.
I was so scared.
Ryan...
..I thought I was dead.
Nah.
I'm never going to let that happen to you.
GRAHAM: You chose to exile yourself here?
Yeah.
Ta.
Thanks. You never get lonely?
Yeah.
But it's for the best. Right.
How long have you known the Doctor, Graham?
Oh, it's a tricky one to answer, that. You see,
things never really happen in a straight line with the Doc.
How much do you know about her?
A bit.
Our paths crossed very briefly once, when she was a man.
When she was a what? Has she never mentioned that?
I thought she was joking!
You got any idea where she's from?
Well, we've tried to ask,
but she just changes the subject, you know?
I've got a whole shelf over there all about the Doctor.
Everything I could gather.
A lot of inconsistencies,
but it's very, very interesting.
Do you want to have a look?
DOOR OPENS
Come on, you two.
Everyone out front. Lots to catch up on. I made iced tea.
Possibly.
Daniel Barton's DNA registers as 93% human.
Which makes him, what, alien?
No, it can't be. I've been through Barton's records.
There are thousands of photos of him online at all ages.
If he's not human, that's one very impressive legend he's put together.
Not impossible, though.
All right, MI6, help me with something,
cos I can't get me nut round it.
C told us that Barton's company
is more powerful than most countries.
That can't be true.
Governments these days are full of people
who don't understand technology,
so countries rely on outsourcing
their tech requirements and expertise
to private companies that transcend national boundaries.
Companies like VOR.
VOR seeps into every corner of modern technology.
We're talking leisure, commercial, military.
It leads the way on face-tagging,
biodata, robotics.
And then there's all the military systems
across the globe which rely on servers operated by VOR.
So do we think Barton's behind the assassination of C?
And the attacking of us in the car?
And is in league with these aliens?
What did he say to those creatures in his office?
They should have been discreet.
So it was like he was in control of them?
I couldn't work out who's in charge of who.
LAPTOP BEEPS
Ah, found something.
I've been searching through all the data
you took from Barton for any codes
or languages not of this planet,
and it's found something.
In the furthest corner
of the smallest system of the most obscure company
in Barton's empire -
alien code!
Just decrypting.
Running about 90 billion possible languages.
Ah.
Nothing.
That can't be right.
I've checked it against every known language in the universe
and there's no match.
Ah, wait!
I keep the TARDIS systems open for new languages,
even on the fringes of the known universe.
If I can synch that...
Bingo! Right, need a dark wall. Come on!
RYAN: What is that?
Not sure. A single image encrypted in alien code.
Trying to decode.
One image, though.
Steganography.
Like what he sent you - a picture of a fish?
I can't see a pattern at all, Doc.
Decoding takes a moment.
SONIC BUZZES
RYAN: What's that? Join the dots?
I think it's coordinates.
Coordinates for what?
Locations for those creatures across planet Earth.
Oh! That's more than just a few.
There's hundreds of 'em.
We can't deal with all those.
What are they doing here, anyway?
It's all in the patterns.
Steganography, encrypted code, attacks on intelligence agents.
It's all spycraft!
They're alien spies embedded here on Earth!
No, that's not possible.
Spies from where? I don't know. I don't recognise them.
I don't recognise the language. Or why they're attacking people.
Or what happened to you.
The image is still changing, Doc.
More layers still being decrypted.
Oh...
Why's it doing that?
I don't understand.
Multiple Earths - what does that even mean?
OK. OK. If you really think they're spies,
we should be asking, who's the spymaster?
Who's running the alien spies?
Because that's the person who holds the answers.
That's got to be Daniel Barton, right?
C said they thought Barton was a double or triple agent.
We need to pay Barton a visit.
Good thing he's having a party, then. We got invites.
Yes! Nice work, you two.
Got invites for us all, have you?
I'm sure I can hack a guest list. What do you reckon, O?
Fancy a trip in the box?
I really, really would.
Be my guest.
Shut up!
Ridiculous.
Somewhere in the lower substrata, there's a wardrobe hall.
I think it's the first right after the karaoke buses.
What do we need a wardrobe for?
Shall we?
The name's Doctor. The Doctor.
We're on the list. Welcome. Go right on in.
Thanks for coming.
Is this a bad time to mention
I've never really done undercover work?
You said you worked for MI6! As an analyst. In the office.
It's a party. We're guests. Blend in.
And keep an eye out for Daniel Barton.
YAZ: That should download every piece of data
his computer has ever had access to.
Thanks, Anya.
RYAN: Red seven! Put it on red seven.
Lucky number seven. GRAHAM: All of it?
CROUPIER: No more bets. You'd better be right. Seven.
CROUPIER: Seven. Get in!
RYAN: Get in!
I'm rich!
Good evening, ladies.
That's my grandson.
Seven! Get in!
Card.
Snap!
GUESTS LAUGH
Is that not the game?
Did we win? No.
Didn't know what I was doing anyway.
You know what they say - lucky at dice, unlucky in love.
Do they say that? No.
DOOR OPENS
Time for a chat.
Nice party.
Nice house.
Daniel. Don't think we've been introduced.
I'm the Doctor.
I'm a plus-one.
So, did you assassinate the head of MI6 yourself,
or just order it?
I think you're at the wrong party.
Casino theme, not whodunnit.
Why is there an alien code
embedded at the edge of your company's systems?
We both know you're in league with a race of alien creatures.
Think you'd better get your medication checked, Doctor,
or maybe some psychiatric help,
because I don't know who you are
or what you're talking about.
How long have they been here?
Where are they from?
Who recruited whom?
Are you running them, or are they running you?
Why is your DNA 7% non-human?
You're properly unhinged.
No. I'm onto you,
and I'm going to stop you.
I'm going to walk away now
and you're going to stay away from me
for the rest of both our lives,
either voluntarily or because of my security people.
Understand?
I'm really hard to get rid of, Mr Barton.
Are you?
Barton's heading your way, gang. Keep an eye on him.
Don't let him out of your sight.
None of you saw him come back in?
He must be here somewhere. There he is!
CAR ENGINE STARTS
Oh, no, you don't!
TYRES SCREECH
GRAHAM: He's off!
RYAN: I mean, who leaves their own birthday party?
He's definitely guilty.
So what do we do now?
Remember our trip to the Great Kalisperon Bike-Off?
Sir, it seems we have three of your motorcycles following us.
What exactly do I pay you for?
Go, go, go, go! I'm going! I'm going!
GUNSHOT
GUNSHOTS
Hey! He's shooting at us! Yes, I got that!
Agh!
Oh!
Is this what it's like being with the Doctor?
GRAHAM YELLS
Mate, this is one of the quiet days! Agh!
What now?
HANGAR DOOR BANGS
SONIC BUZZES
She ready to go? All secure, Mr Barton.
How many planes does one guy need?
There he is.
That's one big plane. Where's he going in that?
I don't know, but we can't let him get away.
How? It's not as if we're gonna just jump on a plane with him, is it?
Aww, come on!
HE SIGHS
Lonsdale tower, Barton one-niner,
request clearance.
SONIC BUZZES Oh!
SHE GROANS
COMMS: Cleared to Hawkston radar vectors to Skaggs Island,
then as filed. Squawk 4634.
CONTROL PANEL BEEPS
She's in!
SONIC BUZZES Fix alert sensors.
Agh! I've got you, Yaz.
COMMS: Barton one-niner, climb 3,000 feet,
maintain runway heading, clear for takeoff.
Runway zero one. Clear for takeoff.
Runway zero one. Maintain runway heading.
Climb 3,000 feet, Barton one-niner.
PHONE RINGS
Hey, where are you going? Come on, son!
I need to close the door!
Sorry. I've never been good at sprinting.
What?!
Come on, Doctor. We're about to take off.
In the main cabin!
SONIC BUZZES
Here... What are we actually going to do?
Sit tight.
See where he's going.
Never been good at sprinting?
I was the last one in every race at school.
No, no, no. I read your file.
You were a champion sprinter.
Mmm.
Got me.
Well done.
What's going on, Doc? I don't know.
You'd best take a look out of the window.
How's your house out there?
Bit Wicked Witch of the West, but you get the gist.
Maybe. Maybe not.
No.
Oh, come on, Doctor, catch up.
You can do it.
Ohh!
That's...that's my name, and that is why I chose it.
So satisfying.
Doctor, I did say look for the spymaster.
Or should I say spy...
..Master?
Hi.
You can't be.
Oh, I can be. I very much am.
So what's going on, then? He's not really O?
I'm her best enemy.
HE CHUCKLES SOFTLY
Call me Master. Call you what?
"Master"?
Me and her, we go way, way, way back.
I met O! I know.
Years ago. I know!
HE CACKLES
But there was an O at MI6.
C was talking about him. Yeah.
A man very close to my heart.
Well, in my pocket, actually.
Do you want to see him? It's always good to keep a backup of one's work.
Tissue compression, it's a classic.
Ohh...
Ambushed him on his way to work for his first day.
Shrunk him, took his identity and set myself up in MI6.
Surprisingly good staff canteen.
I have had a lot of fun.
I need to warn Barton!
He's not here!
Where's Barton? What have you done to him?
Barton!
Who's flying the plane?
Wrong question. Check the seat.
BEEPING
Cockpit bomb.
Short fuse.
I can relate to that!
SONIC BUZZES Now, do you really think
that I would not make that sonic-proof, Doctor?!
Come on!
Deadlock sealed.
And I made sure - no parachutes on board.
There must be a way!
SHE GASPS OK. OK.
But where's Barton? We saw him coming in.
Called away before takeoff. By me!
Stick with me, Yaz, cos I control...
..everything.
Even these guys.
HE WHISTLES
FIZZING AND CRACKING
HE LAUGHS MANIACALLY
Yes!
I can't do it!
Get away!
Yah!
SCREAMING
One last thing. Something you should know
in the seconds before you die...
Everything that you think you know...
..is a lie.
Got you...finally.
ALL SCREAM
SHE GASPS
AUDIO SLOWS
No.
No, no, no, no, no.
FOUR BEEPS
A little chaos
is a wonderful thing.
When I arrange for your death, I expect you to stay dead.
FOUR BEEPS
Welcome to the end of your lives.
