THE DOCTOR ( running to the console ):「It 's the rift ! Time and space are ripping apart . The whole city 's gon na disappear !」
narration:Small explosions erupt from the console .
 EXT . CARDIFF MILLENNIUM CENTRE SQUARE
 Rose has reached the Millennium Square , and she is confronted with the sight of the TARDIS , the lightening shooting out of the top of it into the sky . Her eyes widen and she flinches at another rumble . She begins to run across the Square to the TARDIS , more cracks appearing in the ground .
 INT . TARDIS
 More explosions from the console as the Doctor and Jack work furiously .
JACK:「It 's the extrapolator ! I 've disconnected it but it 's still feeding off the engine ! It 's using the TARDIS . I ca n't stop it !」
Doctor Who:「Never mind Cardiff , it 's gon na rip open the planet !」
narration:Rose bursts into the TARDIS .
ROSE:「What is it ? What 's happening ? !」
MARGARET ( gleefully ):「Oh , just little me !」
narration:She frees one of her arms from the skin - suit revealing the Slitheen claw . She grabs Rose around the neck . The Doctor darts forward , but ...


MARGARET (  ) ( threateningly ):「One wrong move and she snaps like a promise .」
Doctor Who:「I might 've known .」
MARGARET ( moving closer with Rose ):「I 've had you bleating all night , poor baby , now shut it.(To Jack ) . You , fly boy , put the extrapolator at my feet .」
narration:Jack hesitates . Margaret tightens her grip around Rose 's neck . Jack looks at the Doctor for help , he nods , so Jack does as he is told .
MARGARET (  ) ( pleasantly ):「Thank you . Just as I planned .」
ROSE ( strangulated ):「I thought you needed to blow up the nuclear power station .」
MARGARET:「Failing that , if I were to be ... arrested ... then anyone capable of tracking me down would have considerable technology of their own . Therefore , they would be captivated by the extrapolator . Especially a magpie mind like yours , Doctor . So the extrapolator was programmed to go to Plan B !」
narration:She pulls one of Rose 's plaits roughly . Rose whimpers .


MARGARET (  ):「To lock onto the nearest alien power source and open the rift . ( Looks around the TARDIS with awe ) . And what a power source it found ... I 'm back on schedule ... thanks to you .」
JACK:「The rift 's gon na convulse . She 'll destroy the whole planet .」
MARGARET:「And you with it !」
narration:She pushes Rose aside so that she can stand on the extrapolator , but still keeps a hold of her neck .
MARGARET (  ) ( evil smile ):「While I ride this board over the crest of the inferno all the way to freedom . Stand back boys ... surf 's up .」
narration:Outside , there is a burst of lightning from the TARDIS light . Inside , a panel of the console directly in front of Margaret suddenly bursts open , and a blinding white light floods out . Margaret looks at it in surprise , then up at the Doctor on the other side of the console .
THE DOCTOR ( calmly ):「Of course , opening the rift means you 'll pull this ship apart .」
MARGARET:「So sue me .」
Doctor Who:「It 's not just any old power source . It 's the TARDIS . My TARDIS . The best ship in the universe .」


MARGARET ( nastily ):「It 'll make wonderful scrap .」
ROSE ( struggling to see ):「What 's that light ?」
Doctor Who:「The heart of the TARDIS . This ship 's alive . You 've opened its soul .」
narration:Breathing heavily , Margaret stares into the light , as if forgetting everything else . Her voice becomes dreamy and vague .
MARGARET:「It 's ... so bright ...」
Doctor Who:「Look at it , Margaret ...」
MARGARET:「... Beautiful ...」
Doctor Who:「Look inside , Blon Fel Fotch . Look at the light .」
narration:Margaret is transfixed by the light , and her grip on Rose relaxes . Rose stumbles out of the way and back to Jack . Margaret continues to stare into the light , a blissful smile spreading across her face . Then , she looks up at the Doctor who smiles slightly .
MARGARET ( softly , genuinely ):「Thank you ...」
narration:She is engulfed by the light , and when it clears , her body - suit flops on top of the extrapolator , empty . The Doctor immediately springs into action , darting around the console .
Doctor Who:「Do n't look , stay there , close your eyes !」


narration:He slams down levers and the gap in the console closes , shutting out the white light .
THE DOCTOR (  ):「Now , Jack , come on , shut it all down . Shut down !」
narration:Jack rushes over to the console .
THE DOCTOR (  ):「Rose , that panel over there , turn all the switches to the right .」
narration:They work busily , the console exploding with sparks . And finally , the shaking lessens and the lightening shooting from the top of the TARDIS into the sky disappears , all back to normal .
Doctor Who:「Nicely done . Thank you , all .」
ROSE:「What happened to Margaret ?」
JACK:「Must 've got burnt up . Carried out her own death sentence .」
THE DOCTOR ( looking down at the body - suit ):「No . I do n't think she 's dead .」
ROSE:「Then , where 'd she go ?」
Doctor Who:「She looked into the heart of the TARDIS , and even I do n't know how strong that is . And the ship 's telepathic , like I told you , Rose . Gets inside your head . Translates alien languages . Maybe the raw energy can translate all sorts of thoughts ...」


narration:He kneels down next to the skin - suit for a closer look . Rose and Jack follow suit , so all three of them are huddled around it . The Doctor reaches inside the skin - suit and pulls out an egg .
Doctor Who:「Here she is !」
ROSE:「She 's an egg ?」
Doctor Who:「Regressed to her childhood .」
JACK:「She 's an egg ?」
Doctor Who:「She can start again ! Live her life from scratch . If we take her home , give her to a different family , tell 'em to bring her up properly , she might be all right !」
JACK:「Or she might be worse .」
Doctor Who:「That 's her choice .」
ROSE:「She 's an egg .」
Doctor Who:「She 's an egg .」
ROSE ( suddenly remembering ):「Oh , my God . Mickey ...」


narration:And she dashes out of the TARDIS and sprints back across the Millennium Square .
 EXT . STREET NEAR BAY
 A police car hurtles down a ruined street , sirens on and lights flashing , an ambulance close behind . Rose runs down the street in the opposite direction . She does n't see Mickey , who is standing alone and watching from a distance , the firelight flickering on his face . He watches Rose tap a paramedic on the shoulder and question him . The paramedic shakes his head , and Rose leaves him , clearly not knowing where to look next . Mickey turns and walks away into the night .
 INT . TARDIS
 Rose walks back into the TARDIS , where the Doctor is fiddling with console , Jack round the other side .
Doctor Who:「We 're all powered up . We can leave . Opening the rift filled us up with energy . We can go . If that 's all right ...」
ROSE ( tone light but there 's traces of tears on her cheeks ):「Yeah , fine .」
THE DOCTOR ( carefully ):「How 's Mickey ?」
ROSE:「He 's okay . He 's gone .」
Doctor Who:「D'you wanna go and find him ? We 'll wait ...」
narration:He and Jack glance at one another .
ROSE:「No need . He deserves better .」


THE DOCTOR ( briskly ):「Off we go , then . Always moving on ...」
narration:He pulls a lever .
JACK:「Next stop , Raxacoricofallapatorius . Now , you do n't often get to say that .」
narration:He smirks . They have balanced the egg on top of the console .
Doctor Who:「We 'll just stop by and pop her in the hatchery . Margaret the Slitheen can live her life again ! A second chance .」

narration:He looks at her for help .
LYNDA:「You got chosen .」

Doctor Who:「Chosen for what ?」

SECURITY GUARD:「You will be taken from this place to the Lunar Penal Colony , there to be held without trial , you may not appeal against this sentence .」
narration:Neither Jack or the Doctor move or make any acknowledgment to this statement , but Lynda shifts uncomfortably .
SECURITY GUARD (  ) ( coldly ):「Is that understood ?」
narration:No response . The Security Guard goes to the gate and opens it .
THE DOCTOR ( to Jack ):「Let 's do it .」


narration:All three of them leap to their feet . Jack punches and kicks his way through the gate . He tosses one guard aside , the Doctor throwing another easily against the wall , knocking him out . They all grab weapons and leave . An alarm goes off .

 The Doctor releases the safety catch on the huge defabricator he is now holding . His face is dark , and he means business . The lift zooms upwards ...
 INT . FLOOR 500
FEMALE PROGRAMMER ( exasperated , trying to get through the Controller ):「This is an emergency ! You 've got to close the lift !」
CONTROLLER ( completely ignoring her ):「All staff are reminded that solar flares commence in delta point two .」


MALE PROGRAMMER:「Never mind solar flares ! He 's gon na kill you !」
narration:And the lift doors open . All the staff turn around , and the Doctor , Jack and Lynda all stride out , armed to the teeth .
JACK:「Okay ! Move away from the desk ! Nobody try anything clever . Everybody clears !」
narration:The staff scatter as the Doctor strides towards the Controller as though he has tunnel vision .
JACK:「Stand to the sides . And stay there .」
THE DOCTOR ( brandishing his gun at the Controller ):「Who 's in charge of this place ?」
CONTROLLER:「... 18 ... 19 ... 20 ...」
Doctor Who:「This Satellite 's more than a Game Station .」
CONTROLLER:「79 ...」
Doctor Who:「Who killed Rose Tyler ?」
CONTROLLER:「All staff are reminded that solar flares ...」
Doctor Who:「I want an answer !」
CONTROLLER:「... in delta point one .」
MALE PROGRAMMER:「She ca n't reply .」
narration:The Doctor abruptly swings the gun around to the staff , making them all flinch .
MALE PROGRAMMER:「Do n't shoot !」
Doctor Who:「Oh , do n't be so thick . Like I was ever gon na shoot .」


narration:And he tosses the defabricator to the Male Programmer .
THE DOCTOR (  ):「Captain , we 've got more guards on the way up . Secure the exits .」
JACK:「Yes , sir !」
THE DOCTOR ( to the Male Programmer ):「You , what were you saying ?」
MALE PROGRAMMER:「But ... I 've got your gun .」
Doctor Who:「Okay , so shoot me . Why ca n't she answer ?」
MALE PROGRAMMER:「She 's , um ... ( Completely distracted by the gun he 's holding ) . Can I put this down ?」
THE DOCTOR ( impatiently ):「If you want , just hurry up .」
MALE PROGRAMMER:「Thanks . ( Puts it down ) . Sorry . Um ... the Controller is linked to the transmissions . The entire output goes through her brain - you 're not a member of staff so she does n't recognize your existence . THE DOCTOR ( looking up at her )
 I do n't know . She was installed when she was five years old . That 's the only life she 's ever known .」
JACK ( calling over ):「Door 's sealed . We should be safe for about ten minutes .」
Doctor Who:「Keep an eye on 'em .」


MALE PROGRAMMER:「But that stuff you were saying about something going on with the Game Station , I think you 're right .」
narration:Jacks device bleeps . He reads it and looks around .
MALE PROGRAMMER (  ):「Unauthorized transmats ... it 's been going on for years .」
Doctor Who:「Show me .」
narration:Captain Jack places his hand on the door to Archive Six .
FEMALE PROGRAMMER ( making him jump ):「You 're not allowed in there ! Archive Six is out of bounds !」
JACK ( holding up his two guns ):「Do I look like an out - of - bounds sort of guy ?」
narration:He places his hand on the pad and the door opens .
 INT . ARCHIVE SIX
 Jack smiles - as there , in the middle of the room , stands the TARDIS . He fits the key into the lock and enters .
 INT . TARDIS
 The TARDIS is humming away , a comforting , familiar sound . Slung casually over the handrail just inside the door is one of Rose 's jackets . He pauses , placing his hand on it briefly before moving on to the console . He checks the screen and leans closer to it , clearly puzzled .
JACK:「What the hell ... ?」


narration:EXT . SPACE
 The sun rises over the Earth , also illuminating the Satellite .
 INT . FLOOR 500
CONTROLLER:「Solar - flare activity at delta point zero ...」
FEMALE PROGRAMMER ( impatiently , to the Doctor ):「If you 're not holding us hostage , then open the door and let us out . The staff are terrified .」
Doctor Who:「That 's the same staff who execute hundreds of contestants every day ...」
FEMALE PROGRAMMER:「That 's not our fault , we 're just doing our jobs .」
Doctor Who:「And with that sentence , you just lost the right to even talk to me . Now back off .」
narration:He sounds disgusted , his voice rising . Lynda flinches and the Female Programmer stares at him . One of the screens goes static and the lights flicker off , the sound of the power winding down .
MALE PROGRAMMER:「That 's just the solar - flares . They interfere with the broadcast signal , so this place automatically powers down . Planet Earth gets a few repeats . It 's all quite normal .」
CONTROLLER ( quietly ):「Doctor ...」
FEMALE PROGRAMMER:「Doctor ?」
narration:He has n't heard the Controller and is still sore with the Female Programmer .
Doctor Who:「Whatever it is , you can wait .」


FEMALE PROGRAMMER ( ignoring this ):「I think she wants you .」
narration:The Doctor spins around to look at the Controller at the other end of the floor .
CONTROLLER:「Doctor ...」
narration:The Doctor hurries over to stand before her . She is still staring straight ahead with her milky eyes .
CONTROLLER (  ):「Doctor ... ? Where 's the Doctor ?」
Doctor Who:「I 'm here .」
CONTROLLER:「Ca n't see . I 'm blind . So blind . All my life , blind . All I can see is numbers , but I saw you .」
Doctor Who:「What do you want ?」
CONTROLLER:「Solar - flares hiding me . They ca n't hear me ... my ... my masters , they always listen but they ca n't hear me now . The sun ... the sun is so bright ...」
Doctor Who:「Who are your masters ?」
CONTROLLER:「They wired my head , their name is forbidden . They control my thoughts , my masters ... my masters , I had to be careful . They monitor the transmissions but they do n't watch the programmes . I could hide you inside the games .」
narration:Everyone is listening to her intently .
THE DOCTOR ( coldly ):「My friend died inside your games .」
CONTROLLER:「Does n't matter .」


Doctor Who:「Do n't you dare tell me that .」
CONTROLLER:「They 've been hiding . My masters , hiding in the dark space , watching and shaping the Earth ... so , so , so many years ... they 've always been there . Guiding humanity , hundreds and hundred of years ...」
Doctor Who:「Who are they ?」
CONTROLLER:「They wait . They plan and grow in numbers , they 're strong now . So strong , my masters ...」
THE DOCTOR ( persistently ):「Who are they ?」
CONTROLLER ( suddenly looking at him ):「But they speak of you . My masters , they fear the Doctor .」
THE DOCTOR ( stepping forward ):「Tell me ! Who are they ?」
narration:But at that moment , the Controller gasps . The power flickers back on , and she goes back to counting .
CONTROLLER:「20 ... 21 ... 22 ...」
THE DOCTOR ( to the Male Programmer ):「When 's the next solar - flare ?」
MALE PROGRAMMER:「Two years time .」
Doctor Who:「Fat lot of good that is .」
JACK ( emerging from Archive Six ):「Found the TARDIS !」
Doctor Who:「We 're not leaving now .」
JACK:「No . But the TARDIS worked it out .」


narration:He shoves the Male Programmer out of his chair .
JACK (  ):「You 'll wanna watch this .」
narration:The Doctor turns around to watch .
JACK ( indicating ):「Lynda , could you stand over there for me please ?」
LYNDA:「I ... I just wanna go home .」
JACK ( fixed smile ):「It 'll only take a second . Could you stand in that spot , quick as you can ?」
narration:Lynda complies , and stands in an empty area of floor .
JACK (  ):「Everybody watching ? Okay ... three , two , one ...」
narration:He presses a button and a disintegrator beam shoots down from the ceiling and hits Lynda . There 's nothing left but a billow of smoke .
THE DOCTOR ( shocked ):「But you killed her !」
JACK:「Oh , d'you think ?」
narration:He presses the button again , and Lynda reappears next to the Doctor , slightly dazed but completely unharmed .
LYNDA:「... What the hell was that ?」
narration:The Doctor looks to Jack for an explanation .
JACK:「It 's a transmat beam . Not a disintegrator . A secondary transmat system .」
narration:And the Doctor is realising what he 's trying to say ... his eyes light up ...
JACK (  ) ( walking towards him ):「People do n't get killed in the games ! They get transported across space ! Doctor , Rose is still alive !」
narration:The Doctor laughs with ecstatic relief . They throw their arms around each other , grinning madly , so happy .
 INT . SPACESHIP
 Rose is lying on the floor unconscious . After a few seconds , she begins to stir . The camera gives us a wider view , and we see that she 's inside a spaceship , which is humming ominously . She sits up , sees something ...
ROSE:「It ca n't be ...」
narration:A horribly familiar alien POV , gliding towards her ... Rose scrambles to her feet and stumbles backwards , gasping .
ROSE (  ):「But you 're dead ... I saw you die !」
narration:The alien backs her against a wall . She tries to edge sideways , but is stopped by a plunger shooting out .
 INT . FLOOR 500
THE DOCTOR ( dashing from console to console ):「She 's out there somewhere !」
CONTROLLER:「Doctor !」
narration:It 's causing her pain to communicate with the Doctor and betray her masters , but determined , she carries on .
CONTROLLER (  ):「Co - ordinates five point six point one ...」
THE DOCTOR ( typing them in frantically ):「Do n't ! The solar flare 's gone , they 'll hear you !」
CONTROLLER ( crying out with pain ):「Point four three four ... no my masters , no ! I defy you ! Stigma seven seven ...」
narration:She screams . The Doctor looks up , and the wires she was attached to fall away , empty . There 's nothing left but dust .
Doctor Who:「They took her .」


narration:INT . SPACESHIP
 The Controller reappears on the floor of the spaceship . There are holes all over her body where the wires once entered her . She stands , her blind eyes staring forward . She 's defiant , proud .
CONTROLLER:「Oh , my masters ...」
narration:And in the shining wall behind her , a Dalek glides towards her .
CONTROLLER (  ) ( gleefully ):「You can kill me . For I have brought your destruction .」
narration:The sound of a ray gun . We can see right through to her skeleton as she glows negative , and then she slumps to the floor , dead .

JACK ( flirtatiously ):「Nice to meet you , Davitch Pavale ...」
Doctor Who:「There 's a time and a place .」


FEMALE PROGRAMMER:「Are you saying this entire set - up 's been a disguise all along ?」
Doctor Who:「Going way back . Installing the Jagrafess a hundred years ago . Someone 's been playing a long game . Controlling the Human Race from behind the scenes for generations .」
JACK ( handing a small device to the Doctor ):「Click on this .」
narration:The Doctor takes it , points it upwards , and clicks . An image of an empty expanse of space materializes above thier heads .
JACK (  ):「The transmat delivers to that point . Right on the edge of the solar system .」
FEMALE PROGRAMMER:「There 's nothing there .」
Doctor Who:「It looks like nothing . 'Cause that 's what this satellite does . Underneath the transmission , there 's another signal ...」
MALE PROGRAMMER:「Doing what ?」
Doctor Who:「Hiding whatever 's out there . Hiding it from sonar , radar , scanner ...」
narration:They all stare up at the blank expanse of space .
THE DOCTOR (  ):「There 's something sitting right on top of Planet Earth ... but it 's completely invisible .」
narration:Lynda chews her lip .
THE DOCTOR (  ):「If I cancel the signal ...」


narration:He presses a few buttons , and when he looks back at the screen , the expanse of space is no longer empty . Right in front of them is a spaceship , revolving slowly . The Doctor stares at it , eyes wide . We zoom out ... reveal more and more ...

DALEK 1:「The Dalek Stratagem nears completion . The Fleet is almost ready . You will not intervene .」
Doctor Who:「Oh , really ? Why 's that then ?」

narration:Rose , shaking , looks up at the Doctor on the screen .
Doctor Who:「No .」
narration:As one , Jack , Lynda , the Male Programmer and the Female Programmer jerk their heads in his direction . Rose stares , mouth slightly open . What 's he doing ?

Doctor Who:「I said」
DALEK 1:「What is the meaning of this negative ?」
Doctor Who:「It means」
DALEK 1:「But she will be destroyed .」
