JACK:「And what about me ? Can you fix that ? Will I ever be able to die ?」
Doctor Who:「Nothing I can do . You 're an impossible thing , Jack .」
JACK ( laughs ):「Been called that before . ( Starts to leave then turns back and salutes ) . Sir . Ma'am . ( Turns to leave again and stops ) . But I keep wondering ... what about aging ? 'Cause I ca n't die but I keep getting older . The odd little grey hair , you know ? What happens if I live for a million years ?」


Doctor Who:「I really do n't know .」
JACK ( chuckles ):「Okay , vanity . Sorry . Yeah , ca n't help it . Used to be a poster boy when I was a kid back on the Boeshane Pennisula . Tiny little place .

TOM ( at hospital A & E ):「Yeah , hello . ( Martha opens her mouth to speak but does n't ) . Hello ?」
narration:Martha closes phone and smiles . In the hospital , Tom hangs up and walks away . Martha enters the TARDIS and the Doctor peers around the central column .
Doctor Who:「Right then ! ( Gets up ) . Off we go ! The open road ! There is a burst of starfire right now over the coast of Meta Sigmafolio . Oh , the sky is like oil on water . Fancy a look ? Or ... back in time . We could ... I do n't know , Charles II ? Henry VIII ? I know ! What about Agatha Christie ? I 'd love to meet Agatha Christie ! I bet she 's brilliant ! ( Realises Martha is n't smiling and immediately sobers ) . Okay .」
MARTHA:「I just ca n't .」
Doctor Who:「Yeah .」
MARTHA:「Spent all these years training to be a doctor . Now I 've got people to look after . They saw half the planet slaughtered and they 're devastated . I ca n't leave them .」

Doctor Who:「Always . Yeah .」
MARTHA:「Right , then . ( Kisses him on the cheek then walks out . She starts off then turns and goes back inside the TARDIS ) . 'Cause the thing is , it 's like my friend Vicky , she lived with this bloke , student housing , there were five of them , all packed in , and this bloke was called Sean . And she loved him , she did . She completely adored him . Spent all day long talking about him .」
Doctor Who:「Is this going anywhere ?」
MARTHA:「Yes ! ( The DOCTOR crosses his arms ) . 'Cause he never looked at her twice . I mean , he liked her , but that was it . And she wasted years pining after him , years of her life , 'cause while he was around , she never looked at anyone else . And I told her , I always said to her , time and time again , I said」

DONNA:「Yeah , lovely .」
ROGER:「I 've been on the pills two weeks now , I 've lost fourteen kilos .」
Doctor Who:「That 's the same amount every day ?」
ROGER:「One kilo exactly . You wake up , and it 's disappeared overnight . Well , technically speaking , it 's gone by ten past one in the morning .」
Doctor Who:「What makes you say that ?」
ROGER:「That 's when I get woken up . Might as well weigh myself at the same time .」

DONNA:「You go on a date ?」


STACY:「I 'm doing the opposite . I 'm dumping him . I can do better than him now . Right , I wo n't be long . If the taxi beeps , give me a shout .」
ROGER:「It is driving me mad . Ten minutes past one , every night , bang on the dot without fail , the burglar alarm goes off . I 've had experts in , I 've had it replaced , I 've even phoned Watchdog . But no , ten past one in the morning , off it goes .」

Doctor Who:「Tell me Roger , have you got a cat flap ?」
narration:They knee by the cat flap .
ROGER:「It was there when I bought the house . Never bothered with it . I 'm not a cat person .」
Doctor Who:「No , I 've met cat people . You are nothing like them .」
ROGER:「It 's that what it is then ? Cats getting inside the house ?」
Doctor Who:「Well , thing about cat flaps is that they do n't just let things in , they let things out as well .」
ROGER:「Like what ?」
Doctor Who:「The fat just walks away .」


STACY ( shouting from the bathroom ):「Wo n't be long !」

And its no good sitting there , dressed up , looking like you 're job hunting , you 've got to do something ! It 's not like the 1980s , no one 's unemployed these days except you ! How long did that job with Health and Safety last ? Two days , and then you walk out . " I have other plans " , well I 've not seen them . And it 's no good sitting there dreaming , no one 's gon na come along with a magic wand and make your life all better .」

PENNY:「You ca n't tie me up . What sort of a country do you think this is ?」

PENNY:「So come on then , Miss Foster , those pills . What are they ?」
narration:Donna sneaks to the door of Miss Foster 's office .
MISS FOSTER:「Well , you might just as well have a scoop , since you 'll never see it printed . This ( she lifts a capsule ) is the spark of life .」
PENNY:「And what 's that supposed to mean ?」
MISS FOSTER:「Officially , the capsule attracts all the fat cells and flushes them away . Well , it certainly attracts them , that part 's true . But it binds the fat together and galvanises it to form a body .」
PENNY:「Well , what d'you mean " a body " ?」

DONNA:「Oh this is brilliant !」
Doctor Who:「But what are you doing there ?」
DONNA:「I was looking for you !」
Doctor Who:「What for ? !」
DONNA ( miming ):「I , came here , trouble , read about it , internet , I thought , trouble = you ! And this place is weird ! Pills ! So I hid . Back there . Crept along . Heard this lot . Looked . You ! 'Cos they ...」

Doctor Who:「What d'you mean , the bees are disappearing ?」
DONNA:「I do n't know . That 's what it says on the internet .」
narration:The Doctor climbs into the cradle .


DONNA:「Well on the same site , there was all the conspiracy theories about Adipose Industries , I thought let 's take a look !」
Doctor Who:「In you get !」
DONNA:「Well in that thing ?」
Doctor Who:「Yes in that thing !」
DONNA:「But if we go down in that , they 'll just call us back up again .」
Doctor Who:「No no no , cos I 've locked the controls with a sonic cage . I 'm the only one who can control it . Not unless she 's got a sonic device of her own . Which is very unlikely .」
narration:Miss Foster approaches the roof door with a sonic pen in hand .
MISS FOSTER ( to the bodyguards ):「Out of my way .」
narration:They go to the edge of the roof . She looks down and sees the Doctor and Donna in the cradle , still descending .
MISS FOSTER:「Oh , I do n't think so .」

DONNA:「I 'm going to fall !」


narration:Her feet hang just in front of the windows of the office where Penny sits , still tied to the chair .
PENNY:「What the hell is going on ?」
DONNA:「This is all your fault . I should 've stayed at home !」
Doctor Who:「I wo n't be a minute !」
narration:He climbs into the building .
MISS FOSTER ( rubbing her sore hand ):「Yes he 's slippery , that one . Time we found out who he is .」

DONNA:「Get off !」
Doctor Who:「I 've got you ! I 've got you . Stop kicking !」

MISS FOSTER:「Well then ( she takes off her glasses ) at last .」
DONNA:「Hello .」
Doctor Who:「Nice to meet you , I 'm the Doctor .」
DONNA:「And I 'm Donna .」
MISS FOSTER:「Partners in crime . And evidently off - worlders , judging by your sonic technology .」
Doctor Who:「Oh yes , I 've still got your sonic pen . Nice , I like it . Sleek , it 's kinda sleek .」
narration:He shows it to Donna .
DONNA:「Oh it 's definitely sleek .」
Doctor Who:「Yeah , and if you were to sign your real name that would be ... ?」
MISS FOSTER:「Matron Cofelia of the Five - Straighten Classabindi Nursery Fleet . Intergalactic Class .」
Doctor Who:「A wet nurse , using humans as surrogates .」


MISS FOSTER:「I 've been employed by the Adiposian First Family to foster a new generation after their breeding planet was lost .」
Doctor Who:「What do you mean lost ? How do you lose a planet ?」
MISS FOSTER:「Oh , politics are none of my concern . I 'm just here to take care of the children on behalf of the parents .」
DONNA:「What , like an outer space super - nanny ?」
MISS FOSTER:「Yes , if you like .」
DONNA:「So ... so those little things they 're , they 're made out of fat yeah , but that woman , Stacy Campbell , there was nothing left of her .」
MISS FOSTER:「Oh , in a crisis the Adipose can convert bone and hair and internal organs . Makes them a little bit sick , poor things .」
DONNA:「What about poor Stacy ?」
Doctor Who:「Seeding a level 5 planet is against galactic law .」
MISS FOSTER:「Are you threatening me ?」
Doctor Who:「I 'm trying to help you , Matron . This is your one chance ; cos if you do n't call this off , then I 'll have to stop you .」
MISS FOSTER:「I hardly think you can stop bullets .」
narration:The bodyguards aim .


Doctor Who:「No , hold on , hold on , hold on , hold on , one more thing , before ... dying . Do you know what happens if you hold two identical sonic devices against each other ?」
MISS FOSTER ( after a short pause ):「No .」
Doctor Who:「Nor me , lets find out !」
narration:The Doctor points the sonic screwdriver and the sonic pen at each other . It creates an awful noise , Miss Foster and her guards squirm in agony and a glass pane shatters . Donna pushes the Doctor so that he stops .
DONNA:「Come on !」
narration:They run off . Miss Foster talks into her wrist communicator .
MISS FOSTER:「I 'm advancing the birth plan . We 're going into premature labour .」

narration:The Doctor and Donna run along a deserted corridor . They arrive at the storage cupboard and the Doctor starts throwing the supplies out .


DONNA:「Well , that 's one solution . Hide in a cupboard . I like it .」
narration:The Doctor opens the back of the cupboard to reveal a big green machine built into the wall .
Doctor Who:「Hacking in to this thing , cos the matron 's got a computer core running through the center of the building . Triple deadlocked . And now I 've got this ( holds up the sonic pen ) I can get into it .」
narration:Miss Foster opens a wall panel to reveal another green machine .
PENNY:「What does that thing do ?」
MISS FOSTER:「It 's the inducer . We had planned to seed millions , but if that man 's an alien then he 's alerted the Shadow Proclamation , so the first one million humans will have to do . ( To the guards )」
narration:The guards run off .
Doctor Who:「She 's wired up the whole building . We need a bit of privacy .」
narration:He holds two sparking plugs together and lightning comes out of the walls and stuns the guards .
Doctor Who:「Just enough to stop them . Why 's she wired up the tower block ? What 's it all for ?」
narration:He starts fiddling with cables .
COMPUTER VOICE:「Inducer online .」


DONNA:「You look older .」
Doctor Who:「Thanks .」
DONNA:「Still on your own ?」
Doctor Who:「Yup . Well no , I had this friend , Martha she was called . Martha Jones . She was brilliant ... and I destroyed half her life . But she 's fine . She 's good . She 's gone .」
DONNA:「What about Rose ?」
Doctor Who:「Still lost . ( Pause ) . I thought you were going to travel the world ?」
DONNA:「Easier said then done . It 's like I had that one day with you and I was gon na change . I was gon na do so much . Then I woke up next morning , same old life . It 's like you were never there . And I tried . I did try , I went to Egypt . I was gon na go barefoot and everything . And then it 's all bus trips and guidebooks and do n't drink the water and two weeks later you 're back home . It 's nothing like being with you . I must have been mad turning down that offer .」
Doctor Who:「What offer ?」
DONNA:「To come with you .」
Doctor Who:「You 'd come with me ?」
DONNA:「Oh yes , please !」
Doctor Who:「Right .」

narration:Sylvia and her friends are at a restaurant having dinner .
SUZETTE:「I swear that Adipose treatment is fabulous . Just look at my chin . And it 's very good for back fat . I 'm down two sizes !」
SYLVIA:「It 's like a miracle . All that from just one little pill !」
SUZETTE:「And I 've been eating like normal .」
narration:Her back starts twitching .
SYLVIA:「You all right , love ?」
SUZETTE:「Yeah , I 'm just ... funny sort of feeling like a ...」

SYLVIA:「Oh , my God , Suzette !」
SUZETTE:「What ?」
narration:Roger is reading at home . He stands up and starts to feel his side .
SUZETTE ( panicking ):「What is it ? Get it off me !」
narration:Sylvia runs and pulls down the back of her shirt to reveal an Adipose . Fat people all over the restaurant start getting bumps too . An Adipose bursts out of Rogers belly , waves and jumps out the cat flap . Suzette 's Adipose runs along the restaurant floor , dodging people 's feet . Out on the street Adipose are everywhere . Marching along in a scattered mob . They all seem to be heading in the same direction .
MISS FOSTER:「Come to me children . Come to me .」
FEMALE VOICE:「All right , everyone get back , do n't touch them , and stay away .」
narration:The street is swarming with Adipose . Police are trying to help but with no avail .
Doctor Who:「So far they 're just losing weight , but the Matron has gone up to emergency pathogenesis .」
DONNA:「That 's when they convert ...」
Doctor Who:「Skeletons , organs , everything . A million people are gon na die !」


narration:Suzette is on the ground , moving about .
Doctor Who:「Got ta cancel the signal !」
narration:He pulls out the golden capsule and takes off one end to reveal a chip .
Doctor Who:「This contains the primary signal . If I can switch it off the fat goes back to being just fat .」
narration:He hooks the capsule up to the machine .
MISS FOSTER:「A nice try . Double strength .」
narration:She pushes the lever completely down .
COMPUTER VOICE:「Inducer increasing .」
DOCTOR ( tense ):「No no no no no , she 's doubled it , I need ... Have n't got time ! It 's too far , I ca n't override it ! They 're all gon na die !」
narration:Fat people still wriggling in pain .
DONNA:「Is there anything I can do ?」
DOCTOR ( near panic ):「Sorry , Donna , this is way beyond you ! Got ta double the base pulse , I ca n't ...」
DONNA ( sternly ):「Doctor , tell me what do you need .」
Doctor Who:「I need a second capsule to boost the override , but I 've only got the one . I ca n't save them !」


narration:He fiddles with the switches . Donna holds up her gold capsule . The Doctor looks at her in shock . They both burst out laughing . He takes it and plugs it in and the green lights go off .
SUZETTE:「It 's stopped ! They 've gone .」
narration:Miss Foster flicks the switches . Her lights are off too . Nothing works .
PENNY:「What 's happened ?」
MISS FOSTER:「I think the Doctor happened . But we 've still given birth to ten thousand Adipose . And the nursery is coming .」
narration:A loud horn sounds .
DONNA:「What the hell was that ?」
MISS FOSTER:「It 's my lift home !」
narration:Miss Foster leaves .
PENNY:「You ca n't just leave me here !」
SUZETTE:「It just stopped .」
narration:They all hear the big horn .
SYLVIA:「What on earth this is now ? Oh my god !」
narration:Everyone looks up as a big circular spaceship flies over London . People are screaming . But Wilf is listening to music while looking through his telescope , oblivious of the spaceship flying past behind him . It flies over the Adipose Industries building and thousands of Adipose cheer .
DONNA:「Fine . When you say nursery you do n't mean a creche in Notting Hill .」
Doctor Who:「Nursery ship .」


narration:The computer unit lights up .
COMPUTER VOICE:「Incoming signal .」
narration:It starts to talk in an alien language .
DONNA:「Had n't we better go and stop them ?」
Doctor Who:「Hang on , instructions from the Adiposian First Family .」
narration:Miss Foster is on the street , talking to the Adipose babies with Eva Peron - style gestures .
MISS FOSTER:「Children ! Oh my children , behold . I am taking you home .」
narration:The Adipose cheer .
MISS FOSTER:「Far across the galaxy , your new mummies and daddies are waiting . And you will fly !」
narration:Blue levitation beams reach out from the nursery ship .
MISS FOSTER:「Up you go , babies . Up you go !」
narration:The Adipose babies step into the beams and start elevating .
MISS FOSTER:「That 's it , fly away home !」
Doctor Who:「She 's wired up the tower block to convert it into a levitation post . ( Listens to the computer instructions ) . Oh . Ooh . We 're not the ones in trouble now . She is !」
narration:He runs up to the roof , followed by Donna .


MISS FOSTER:「Take me ! The children need me !」
narration:The Doctor and Donna reach the roof and watch the Adipose babies flying toward the nursery ship .
DONNA:「What you gon na do then ? Blow them up ?」
Doctor Who:「They 're just children . They ca n't help where they come from .」
DONNA:「Oh , that makes a change from last time . That Martha must 've done you good .」
Doctor Who:「Ah , she did , yeah . Yeah , she did . She fancied me .」
DONNA ( smiling ):「Mad Martha , that one . Blind Martha . Charity Martha .」
narration:An Adipose waves at them and they wave back .
DONNA:「I 'm waving at fat .」
Doctor Who:「Actually , as a diet plan , it sort of works . There she is !」
narration:They run to the edge . Miss Foster is now soaring in the air , the same height as they are .
Doctor Who:「Matron Cofelia , listen to me !」
MISS FOSTER:「Oh , I do n't think so , Doctor . And if I never see you again , it will be too soon .」


Doctor Who:「Oh , why does no one ever listen ? I 'm trying to help ! Just get across to the roof . Can you shift the levitation beam ?」
MISS FOSTER:「What , so that you can arrest me ?」
Doctor Who:「Just listen . I saw the Adiposian instructions , they know it 's a crime , breeding on Earth . So what 's the one thing they want to get rid of ? Their accomplice !」
MISS FOSTER:「I 'm far more than that . I 'm nanny to all these children .」
narration:In the meantime , the baby Adipose have all reached the ship , now it 's only Miss Foster who is still in the air .
Doctor Who:「Exactly ! Mum and Dad have got the kids now , they do n't need the nanny anymore !」
narration:Suddenly , the blue light vanishes . Bewildered , Miss Foster looks down , and she falls with a scream . Donna hides her face to the Doctor 's shoulder . Then they look up again and see the Adipose waving goodbye through the windows of the leaving ship . Down on the street there 's sirens , an ambulance , police tapes . The Doctor , lost in thoughts , throws the sonic pen into a bin .
PENNY:「Oi , you two !」


narration:They turn to look at Penny . She crept out of the building , still tied to the chair .
PENNY:「You 're just mad . Do you hear me ? Mad ! And I 'm gon na report you ... for madness !」
narration:She creeps away .
DONNA:「You see , some people just ca n't take it .」
Doctor Who:「No .」
DONNA:「But some people can . So , then , TARDIS ! Come on !」
narration:She grabs his hand and pulls him away . They walk to the alley where the TARDIS and Donna 's car are left .
DONNA:「That 's my car ! That is like destiny ! And I 've been ready for this .」
She opens the boot:「it 's full of suitcases .」
DONNA:「I packed ages ago , just in case . Cos I thought , hot weather , cold weather , no weather ...」
narration:She starts to load her luggage to the arms of the stunned Doctor .
DONNA:「... he goes anywhere , I 've got ta be prepared .」
narration:She throws a striped hatbox on top of the rest .
Doctor Who:「You 've got a ... a ... hatbox ? !」


DONNA:「Planet of the Hats , I 'm ready !」
narration:The Doctor stands in front of the TARDIS surrounded by suitcases , quite serious . Donna is babbling in the door , beaming , oblivious of his mood .
DONNA:「Do I need injections though , do I ? Like when you go to Cambodia , is there any of that ? Cos my friend Veena went to Bahrain , and ...」
narration:She suddenly notices that he does n't look happy .
DONNA:「You 're not saying much .」
Doctor Who:「No , it 's just ... It 's a funny old life , in the TARDIS .」
DONNA ( quiet , and very sad ):「You do n't want me .」
Doctor Who:「I 'm not saying that .」
DONNA:「But you asked me .」
narration:The Doctor just stares at her , so sad .
DONNA:「Would you rather be on your own ?」
Doctor Who:「No . Actually , no . But ...」
narration:He throws the bags to the ground .
Doctor Who:「The last time , with Martha , like I said it ... it got complicated . And that was all my fault . I just want a mate .」
DONNA ( shocked disgust ):「You just want to mate ? ? ?」


Doctor Who:「I just want a mate !」
DONNA:「You 're not mating with me , sunshine !」
Doctor Who:「A mate , I want a mate !」
DONNA:「Well just as well , because I 'm not having any of that nonsense . I mean you 're just a long streak of ... nothing . You know , alien nothing .」
Doctor Who:「There we are , then . OK .」
DONNA:「I can come ?」
Doctor Who:「Yeah . Course you can , yeah .」
narration:They smile at each other .
Doctor Who:「I 'd love it .」
DONNA:「Ohh , that 's just ...」
narration:She runs to hug him , but then stops , remembering the previous conversation . But she is so happy !
DONNA:「Car keys !」
Doctor Who:「What ?」
DONNA:「I 've still got my mum 's car keys ! I wo n't be a minute !」
narration:She runs away . The Doctor looks after her , then starts to carry her luggage to the TARDIS . Donna is back to the crowded street with police cars and co , talking on the phone .


DONNA:「I know , Mum , I saw it , little fat people . Listen , I 've got to go . I 'm going to stay with Veena for a bit .」
SYLVIA [ /b](voice - over ):「... it was in the sky !」
DONNA:「Yeah . I know . Spaceship . But , I 've still got the car keys . Look . There is a bin on Brook Street , about thirty feet from the corner , I 'm going to leave them in there .」
narration:She throws the keys into the bin .
SYLVIA [ /b](voice - over ):「What ? A bin ?」
DONNA:「Yes , that 's it , a bin .」
SYLVIA [ /b](voice - over ):「You ca n't do that .」
DONNA:「Oh , stop complaining , the car 's just down the road a bit . Got to go , really got to go . Bye .」
SYLVIA [ /b](voice - over ):「But Donna , you ca n't ...」
narration:She hangs up . Several people are standing by a fence , she starts talking to one of them , a blond woman .
DONNA:「Listen , there is this woman that 's going to come along , a tall blond woman called Sylvia , tell her that bin there . Right , it 'll all make sense . That bin there .」
narration:She heads back to the TARDIS , happiest woman in the world . The blonde she was talking to turns back towards the camera , she is Rose Tyler . Looking worn , depressed . She walks away several steps and then simply vanishes into thin air ... Donna enters to the TARDIS .
DONNA:「Off we go , then !」
Doctor Who:「Here it is , the TARDIS . It 's bigger on the inside than it is on the outside ...」


DONNA:「Oh , I know that bit . Although frankly , you could turn the heat up .」
Doctor Who:「So , whole wide universe , where do you want to go ?」
DONNA:「Oh , I know exactly the place .」
Doctor Who:「Which is ?」


narration:The Doctor gets out of the TARDIS , pulls away a curtain and smiles . Donna steps beside him .
Doctor Who:「Ancient Rome . Well , not to them , obviously . To all intents and purposes , right now , this is brand new Rome .」
DONNA:「Oh my God , it 's ... It 's so Roman ! This is fantastic !」
narration:She hugs him .
Doctor Who:「Haha !」
DONNA ( enthusiastic ):「I 'm here , in Rome , Donna Noble , in Rome . This is just weird ! I mean , everyone here 's dead .」
Doctor Who:「Well , do n't tell them that .」
DONNA ( sobered ):「Hold on a minute , that sign over there 's in English .」
narration:She points to a board advertising " Two amphoras for the price of one " .
DONNA:「Are you having me on , are we in Epcot ?」
Doctor Who:「No , no , no , that 's the TARDIS translation circuits , just makes it look like English . Speech as well , you 're talking Latin right now .」
DONNA:「Seriously ?」
Doctor Who:「Uh huh .」
DONNA:「I just said " seriously " in Latin .」
Doctor Who:「Oh yeah .」


DONNA:「What if I said something in actual Latin ? Like , " Veni , vidi , vici " ? My dad said that when he came back from football . If I said " Veni , vidi , vici " to that lot , what would it sound like ?」
Doctor Who:「I 'm not sure . You have to think of difficult questions , do n't you ?」
DONNA:「I 'm gon na try it .」
narration:She walks to a stallholder .
STALLHOLDER:「Afternoon sweetheart . What can I get you , my love ?」
DONNA:「Ehm ... Veni , vidi , vici .」
STALLHOLDER:「Huh ? Sorry ? ( gesticulating wildly ) Me - no - speak - Celtic . No - can - do - missy .」
DONNA:「Yeah .」
narration:She walks back to the Doctor .
DONNA:「How 's he mean , Celtic ?」
Doctor Who:「Welsh . You sound Welsh . There we are , learnt something .」
narration:As they walk away , a red - cloaked soothsayer is watching them .
DONNA:「Do n't our clothes look a bit odd ?」
Doctor Who:「Nah . Ancient Rome , anything goes . It 's like Soho , but bigger .」


DONNA:「You 've been here before then ?」
narration:The young soothsayer is following them .
Doctor Who:「Mm . Ages ago . Before you ask , that fire had nothing to do with me . Well ... a little bit . But I have n't got the chance to look around properly . Colosseum , Pantheon , Circus Maximus ... you 'd expect them to be looming by now . Where is everything ?」
narration:He looks up , then heads to a different alley , followed by Donna , and the soothsayer .
Doctor Who:「Try this way .」
narration:They reach a wide street . Donna glimpses something .
DONNA:「Not an expert , but there 's seven hills of Rome , are n't there ?」
narration:They both look at the one , huge mountain towering over the town .
DONNA:「How come they 've only got one ?」
narration:There 's a loud roar and an earthquake begins .
POMPEII CITIZEN:「Here we go again !」
narration:The locals act like this is the most natural thing on earth , smiling while they try to prevent their properties falling down .
DONNA:「Wait a minute . One mountain . With smoke . Which makes this ...」


Doctor Who:「Pompeii . We 're in Pompeii . And it 's volcano day !」
narration:OPENING CREDITS
 The soothsayer runs into a temple . She kneels and bows to the ground in front of a higher ranked priestess , Spurrina .
SOOTHSAYER:「I beg audience with the High Priestess of the Sibylline .」
SPURRINA:「The High Priestess can not be seen . What would you tell her , sister ?」
SOOTHSAYER:「It has come . As foretold in the prophecy . The box . The blue box .」
narration:They both look confused , scared . The Doctor runs back , Donna in tow . He reaches the place where they left the TARDIS , pulls away the curtain , but sees nothing . Donna arrives beside him .
DONNA:「You 're kidding . Not telling me the TARDIS has gone ?」
Doctor Who:「OK .」
DONNA:「Where is it then ?」
Doctor Who:「You ... told me not to tell you .」
DONNA:「Oi . Do n't get clever in Latin .」
Doctor Who:「Hold on .」
narration:He runs to the stallholder Donna talked with previously .


Doctor Who:「' Scuse me , ' scuse me , there was a box , big blue box , big blue wooden box , just over there , where is it gone ?」
STALLHOLDER ( smugly ):「Sold it , did n't I ?」
Doctor Who:「But ... it was n't yours to sell !」
STALLHOLDER:「It was on my patch , were n't it ? I got 15 sesterce for it , lovely jubbly .」
Doctor Who:「Who did you sell it to ?」
STALLHOLDER:「Old Caecilius . Look , if you want to argue , why do n't you take it out with him ? He 's on Foss Street , big villa , ca n't miss it .」
Doctor Who:「Thanks .」
narration:He and Donna run away . Then the Doctor runs back , bemused .
Doctor Who:「What did he buy a big wooden box for ?」
narration:Roman Villa , the home of Caecilius and family . The TARDIS , having just been moved into the villa is surrounded by Caecilius and his servants , who are scurrying away .
CAECILIUS ( joyfully ):「Modern art ! Out of the way , that 's it !」
narration:He hurries his servants out of the way who toddle off .


CAECILIUS ( talking to a servant ):「Oh Rombus , I 'm a little bit peckish . Get me some ants in honey , there 's a good man . Ooh , maybe a dormouse !」
narration:Caecilius ' wife , Metella , is watching on . It is clear on her face that she does not approve of this " modern art " .
CAECILIUS:「What do you think ?」
METELLA:「You call it modern art ; I call it a blooming great waste of space !」
CAECILIUS:「We 're going up in the world , my love ! Lucius Dextrus is coming to the house this afternoon . And with our Evelina about to be elevated ...」
narration:Evelina , Metella and Caecilius ' daughter , enters looking disdainful .
EVELINA:「Do n't go on about it , dad .」
METELLA:「If we 'd moved to Rome like I said she could 've been a Vestal virgin .」
narration:Quintus , Metella and Caecilius ' son , walks in , yawning and rubbing the back of his head , tired , hungover .
QUINTUS:「Someone mentioned vestal virgins ?」
METELLA:「Quintus do n't be so rude ! Appologise to the household Gods !」
QUINTUS:「Get off !」
METELLA:「Apologise , right now ! The Gods are always watching !」
narration:The house begins to shake and objects begin to move . The faces of the family suggest this is not unusual . Caecilius looks at the family and gasps .
CAECILIUS:「Positions !」
narration:Each of the family members runs off to various points around the house to support one object or another , reminiscent of the scenes in Mary Poppins . The house stops shaking , the family relax . Metella gives Quintus an " I - told - you - so " look .
METELLA:「There , now you 've made the heavens angry ! Say sorry !」
narration:Quintus walks towards a shrine in the corner , with less than enthusiasm .
METELLA:「I tell you Caecilius that boy will do no good !」
narration:Quintus , at the shrine , performs a quick ritual .
QUINTUS:「Sorry household Gods .」
CAECILIUS:「Where were you last night ? Down the thelopolium I bet , covorting with Christians ! And all sorts ! How 's your head sunshine ? How 's your head ? !」
QUINTUS:「Alright dad ! Give us a break !」
METELLA:「You want to smarten yourself up Quintus , before Lucius Dextrus gets here ! Look at your sister .」
narration:Metella walks proudly over to Evelina who looks bored of the same old speech .
METELLA:「She is giving us status !」
QUINTUS:「Oh yeah ! Cos it 's all about Evelina !」
METELLA:「She has the gift !」


narration:Metella shows Quintus the eye on the back of Evelina 's palms , just like the ones belonging to the Sisterhood .
METELLA:「She has the gift ! Be proud of your sister for once !」
narration:She turns to Evelina .
METELLA:「Have you been consuming ?」
EVELINA:「Not this morning .」
METELLA:「Come on sweetheart , practise !」
narration:She takes Evelina towards the hypocaust grille in the centre of the room .
METELLA:「It 's hot today ! A hypocaust on full blast ! The mountain God must be happy ! Breathe deeply ! Remember what the sisterhood said .」
narration:Evelina breaths the fumes of the furnace . It is clearly painful .
EVELINA:「It hurts !」
METELLA:「My love , is it too hot ?」
EVELINA:「Sometimes in the smoke I see the most terrible things .」
METELLA:「Like what ?」
EVELINA:「A face ; a face of stone .」
METELLA:「It 'll make sense . One day , Sister Spurrina promised . The veil will be parted and you 'll be a seer .」
narration:Metella walks off , leaving Evelina to breath in the fumes . In the fire she sees the face of which she just spoke .
EVELINA:「Who are you ?」
narration:The Doctor is running down the street and collides with Donna who was approaching from the opposite direction .
Doctor Who:「Ha ! I 've got it . Foss Street , this way .」


narration:He makes to turn around and drag her with him .
DONNA:「No ! Well , I found this big sort of amphitheatre thing , we should start there , we can gather everyone together , maybe if we got a great big bell or something we could ring it , have they invented bells yet ?」
Doctor Who:「What do you want a bell for ?」
DONNA:「To warn everyone ! Start the evacuation ! What time does Vesuvius erupt , when 's it due ?」
Doctor Who:「It 's 79AD , 23rd of August , which makes volcano day tomorrow !」
DONNA:「Plenty of time ! We could get everyone out , easy !」
Doctor Who:「Yeah , except we 're not going to .」
DONNA:「But that 's what you do , you 're the Doctor , you save people !」
Doctor Who:「Not this time ; Pompeii is a fixed point in history , what happens happens , there is no stopping it .」
narration:He moves to go again but Donna pulls him back .
DONNA:「Says who ?」
Doctor Who:「Says me !」
DONNA:「What , you 're in charge ? !」
Doctor Who:「TARDIS , Time Lord , yeah !」


DONNA:「Donna , human , no ! I do n't need your permission , I 'll tell them myself !」
Doctor Who:「You sound about the place , announce the end of the world , and they 'll just think you 're a mad old soothsayer , now come on ! TARDIS , we are getting out of here !」
narration:He walks hurriedly away .
DONNA:「Well I might just have something to say about that , Spaceman !」
Doctor Who:「Oh , I bet you will !」
narration:Donna follows after him , but the pair are watched by the young soothsayer again . She stops and covers her eyes with her palms .
SOOTHSAYER:「The tall one ... he calls us mad ...」
narration:The Sybelline Sisters can talk with her through a telepathic link .
SPURRINA:「Then he is a stranger to Pompeii . Soon he will learn .」
narration:Another Sister , Thalina , walks to Spurrina .
THALINA:「We have found it , Sister Spurrina , in the 13th book of the Sybilline Oracles . The blue box , a temple made of wood . And yet the Sybil foretold that the box would appear at the time of storms , and fire , and betrayal .」


narration:A voice sounds out from the front of the temple , causing all the Sisters to stop what they are doing .
HIGH PRIESTESS:「Sisters ...」
narration:They walk forward reverently towards her , a figure hidden behind a thin curtain .
SPURRINA:「Reverend mother , you should sleep .」
HIGH PRIESTESS:「The Sybilline Oracles are wrong !」
SPURRINA:「But we have venerated her words for generations !」
HIGH PRIESTESS:「This is a new age . Heed my words ! I predict a future of prosperity and might , an endless empire of Pompeii , reaching out from this city to topple Rome itself , and encompass the whole , wide world ! If the Disciples of the Blue Box defy this prophecy , their blood will run across the temple floor !」
narration:A tremor shakes the room .
SPURRINA:「The gods approve !」
CAECILIUS:「Positions !」
narration:They all run , but Caecilius is too far from his precious statue , however , the Doctor arrives just in time to catch it . The earthquake stops .
Doctor Who:「There you go .」
CAECILIUS:「Thank you , kind sir . I 'm afraid bussiness is closed for the day . I 'm expecting a visitor .」


Doctor Who:「But that 's me , I 'm a visitor . Hello .」
narration:He shakes his hand and dashes into the room .
CAECILIUS:「Who are you ?」
Doctor Who:「I am ... Spartacus .」
DONNA:「And so am I.」
CAECILIUS:「Mr and Mrs Spartacus ?」
Doctor Who:「Oh no no no , we 're not , we 're not married .」
DONNA:「We 're not together .」
CAECILIUS:「Oh , then brother and sister ? Yes of course ! You look very much alike .」
THE DOCTOR / DONNA:「Really ?」
CAECILIUS:「I 'm sorry , but I 'm not open for trade .」
Doctor Who:「And that trade would be ?」
CAECILIUS:「Marble . Lobus Caecilius . Mining , polishing and design thereof . If you want marble , I 'm your man .」
Doctor Who:「That 's good . That 's good , cos I 'm marble inspector .」
METELLA:「By the gods of commerce , an inspection ! ( taking away a cup of wine from Quintus ) . I 'm sorry , sir . I do apologise for my son .」
QUINTUS:「Oi !」


CAECILIUS:「And this is my good wife , Metella . I ... I must confess , we 're not prepared for ...」
Doctor Who:「Nothing to worry about , I 'm , I 'm sure you 've nothing to hide . Although , frankly , ( he points to the TARDIS ) that object looks rather like wood to me .」
METELLA ( hissing ):「I told you to get rid of it .」
CAECILIUS ( apologising ):「I only bought it today !」
Doctor Who:「Ah , well ... Caveat emptor .」
CAECILIUS:「Oh , you 're Celtic . There 's lovely .」
Doctor Who:「I 'm sure it 's fine , but I might have to take it off your hands , for a proper inspection .」
DONNA:「Although while we 're here , would n't you recommend a holiday , Spartacus ?」
Doctor Who:「Do n't know what you mean , Spartacus .」
DONNA:「Oh , this lovely family . Mother and father and son . Do n't you think they should get out of town ?」
CAECILIUS:「Why should we do that ?」
DONNA:「Well , the volcano , for starters .」
CAECILIUS ( puzzled ):「What ?」


DONNA:「Volcano .」
CAECILIUS:「What - ano ?」
DONNA:「That great big volcano right on your doorstep ...」
Doctor Who:「Oh , Spartacus , for shame , we have n't even greeted the household gods yet .」
narration:He drags Donna away to the shrine .
THE DOCTOR ( subdued , to Donna ):「They do n't know what it is . Vesuvius is just a mountain to them , the top has n't blown off yet . The Romans have n't even got a word for volcano . Not until tomorrow .」
DONNA ( sarcastic ):「Oh , great , they can learn a new word . As they die .」
Doctor Who:「Donna , stop it .」
DONNA:「Listen , I do n't know what sort of kids you 've been flying round with in space , but you 're not telling me to shut up . That boy , how old is he ? Sixteen ? And tomorrow , he burns to death .」
Doctor Who:「And that 's my fault ?」
DONNA:「Right now , yes .」
SERVANT:「Announcing Lucius Petrus Dextrus , Chief Augur of the City Government .」
CAECILIUS:「Lucius . My pleasure , as always .」


METELLA:「Quintus , stand up !」
CAECILIUS:「A rare and great honour , sir , for you to come to my house ...」
narration:He reaches out his hand , but Lucius keeps his right hidden under his cloak .
LUCIUS:「The birds are flying north , and the wind is in the west .」
CAECILIUS ( puzzled ):「Quite . Absolutely . That 's good , is it ?」
LUCIUS:「Only the grain of wheat knows where it will grow .」
CAECILIUS:「There now , Metella . Have you ever heard such wisdom ?」
METELLA:「Never . It 's an honour .」
CAECILIUS:「Pardon me , sir , I have guests , this is Spartacus and ... Spartacus .」
narration:The Doctor and Donna wave at Lucius .
LUCIUS:「A name is but a cloud upon a summer wind .」
Doctor Who:「But the wind is felt most keenly in the dark .」
LUCIUS:「Ah . ( taking it as chellenge ) . But what is the dark , other than an omen of the sun ?」
Doctor Who:「I concede that every sun must set ...」
LUCIUS:「Hah !」


Doctor Who:「... and yet the son of the father must also rise .」
LUCIUS:「Damn . Very clever , sir . Evidently , a man of learning .」
Doctor Who:「Oh , yes . But do n't mind me , do n't want to disturb the status quo .」
CAECILIUS:「He 's Celtic .」
Doctor Who:「We 'll be off in a minute .」
DONNA ( subdued ):「I 'm not going .」
CAECILIUS:「It 's ready , sir .」
THE DOCTOR ( subdued , to Donna ):「You 've got to .」
DONNA:「Well , I 'm not .」
CAECILIUS:「The moment of revelation .」
narration:He uncovers something that looks like a tile - sized circuit board , made of marble .
CAECILIUS:「And here it is ! Exactly as you 've specified . It pleases you , sir ?」
LUCIUS:「As the rain pleases the soil .」
Doctor Who:「Oh , now that 's ... different . Who designed that , then ?」
CAECILIUS:「My Lord Lucius was very specific .」
Doctor Who:「Where did you get the pattern ?」


LUCIUS:「On the rain and mist and wind .」
DONNA ( to the Doctor ):「But that looks like a circuit .」
Doctor Who:「Made of stone .」
DONNA:「Do you mean you just dreamt that thing up ?」
LUCIUS:「That is my job . As City Augur .」
DONNA:「What 's that , then , like the mayor ?」
Doctor Who:「Oh ! You must excuse my friend , she 's from ... Barcelona . ( subdued , to Donna ) Not , but this is an age of superstition , of official superstition . The Augur is paid by the city to tell the future . " The wind will blow from the west " , that 's the equivalent of Ten O'Clock News .」
narration:Evelina enters the room , looking pale and sick .
EVELINA:「They 're laughing at us . Those two , they use words like tricksters , they 're mocking us .」
Doctor Who:「No , no , no . I meant no offence .」
METELLA:「I 'm sorry , my daughter 's been consuming the vapours .」
QUINTUS:「Oh for gods , mother , what have you been doing to her ?」
CAECILIUS:「Not now , Quintus .」


QUINTUS:「Yeah but she 's sick , just look at her !」
LUCIUS:「I gather I have a rival in this household . Another with the gift .」
METELLA ( proudly ):「Oh , she 's been promised to the Sibylline Sisterhood . They say she has remarkable visions .」
LUCIUS:「The prophecies of women are limited and dull , only the menfolk have the capacity for true perception .」
DONNA:「I 'll tell you where the wind 's blowing right now , mate .」
narration:There 's another loud roar from the mountain .
LUCIUS:「The Mountain God marks your words . I 'd be careful , if I were you .」
Doctor Who:「Consuming the vapours , you said ?」
EVELINA:「They give me strength .」
Doctor Who:「It does n't look like it to me .」
EVELINA:「Is that your opinion ... as a doctor ?」
Doctor Who:「I beg your pardon ?」
EVELINA:「Doctor , that 's your name .」
THE DOCTOR ( taken aback ):「How did you know that ?」
EVELINA:「And you ... you call yourself Noble .」


METELLA:「Now then , Evelina , do n't be rude .」
Doctor Who:「No , no , no , no , let her talk .」
EVELINA:「You both come from so far away .」
LUCIUS:「The female soothsayer is inclined to invent all sorts of vagaries .」
Doctor Who:「Oh , not this time , Lucius . No , I reckon you 've been out - soothsayed .」
LUCIUS:「Is that so ... man from Gallifrey ?」
Doctor Who:「What ?」
LUCIUS:「Strangest of images ... your home is lost in fire , is it not ?」
DONNA:「Doctor , what are they doing ?」
LUCIUS:「And you , daughter of ... London .」
DONNA:「How does he know that ?」
LUCIUS:「This is the gift of Pompeii . Every single oracle tells the truth .」
DONNA:「That 's impossible .」
LUCIUS:「Doctor ... she is returning .」
Doctor Who:「Who is ? Who 's she ?」
LUCIUS:「And you , daughter of London ... there is something on your back .」
DONNA ( scared ):「What 's that mean ?」


EVELINA:「Even the word " doctor " is false . Your real name is hidden . It burns in the stars , in the Cascade of Medusa herself . You are a Lord , sir . A Lord ... of Time .」
narration:She collapses , the Doctor and Metella run to her .
METELLA:「Evelina !」
narration:Evelina is in bed , still unconscious . Her mother and Donna are with her .
METELLA:「She did n't mean to be rude , she 's ever such a good girl . But when the gods speak through her ...」
narration:She unwraps the bandage on Evelina 's arm , revealing grey skin beneath .
DONNA:「What 's wrong with her arm ?」
METELLA:「Irritation of the skin . She never complains , bless her . We bathe it in olive oil every night .」
DONNA:「What is it ?」
METELLA:「Evelina said you 'd come from far away . Please , have you ever seen anything like ... ?」
narration:Donna goes to touch it .
DONNA:「It 's stone .」
narration:The Doctor pulls away the grille of the hypocaust , revealing the chasm below .
Doctor Who:「Different sort of hypocaust .」


CAECILIUS:「Oh , yes . We 're very advanced in Pompeii . In Rome , they 're still using the old wood - burning furnaces . But we 've got hot springs , leading from Vesuvius itself .」
Doctor Who:「Who thought of that ?」
CAECILIUS:「The soothsayers . After the great earthquake , 17 years ago . An awful lot of damage . But we rebuilt .」
Doctor Who:「Did n't you think of moving away ? No , then again , San Francisco ...」
CAECILIUS:「That 's a new restaurant in ... Naples ?」
narration:A howling sound comes from below .
Doctor Who:「What 's that noise ?」
CAECILIUS:「Do n't know . Happens all the time . They say the gods of the Underworld are stirring .」
Doctor Who:「But after the earthquake , let me guess ... Is that when the soothsayers started making sense ?」
CAECILIUS:「Oh , yes , very much so . I mean , they 'd always been , shall we say , imprecise ? But then , the soothsayers , the augurs , the haruspex , all of them , they saw the truth , again and again . It 's quite amazing . They can predict crops and rainfall with absolute precision .」


Doctor Who:「Have n't they said anything about tomorrow ?」
CAECILIUS:「No . Why , should they ? Why d'you ask ?」
Doctor Who:「No , no , no I 'm just asking . But the soothsayers , they all consume the vapours , yeah ?」
CAECILIUS:「That 's how they see .」
Doctor Who:「Ipso facto ...」
CAECILIUS:「Look you ...」
Doctor Who:「They 're all consuming this .」
narration:He rubs something between his fingers , then tastes it .
CAECILIUS:「Dust ?」
Doctor Who:「Tiny particles of rock . They 're breathing in Vesuvius .」
narration:Quintus is lying on a sofa , drinking wine , bored .
Doctor Who:「Quintus , me old son . This Lucius Petrus Dextrus , where does he live ?」
QUINTUS:「It 's nothing to do with me .」
Doctor Who:「Let me try again . This Lucius Petrus Dextrus ...」
narration:He pulls out a coin from behind Quintus ' ear .
Doctor Who:「Where does he live ?」
narration:Now Quintus gets interested . He leads the Doctor to Lucius ' house .


QUINTUS:「Do n't tell my dad .」
narration:The Doctor climbs in through the window .
Doctor Who:「Only if you do n't tell mine . Pass me that torch !」
narration:After a moment of hesitation , Quintus follows him into the house . They look around and see some drapes . The Doctor pulls it away to reveal six stone circuits similar to the one Caecilius has made .
QUINTUS:「The liar ! He told my father it was the only one .」
Doctor Who:「Well , plenty of marble merchants in this town . Tell them all the same thing , get all the components from different places , so no - one can see what you 're building .」
QUINTUS:「Which is what ?」
narration:Lucius appears , followed by two armed guards .
LUCIUS:「The future . Doctor , we are building the future . As dictated by the gods .」
narration:Evelina is now sitting on her bed , laughing as she watches Donna pose in a purple toga .
DONNA:「You 're not supposed to laugh . Thanks for that . What d'you think ? The Goddess Venus .」
EVELINA ( laughing ):「Oh , that 's sacrilege .」


DONNA:「Nice to see you laugh , though . ( She sits beside Evelina ) What d'you do in old Pompeii , then , girls your age ? You got ... mates ? D'you go hanging about round the shops ? TK Maximus ?」
EVELINA:「I am promised to the Sisterhood for the rest of my life .」
DONNA:「D'you get any choice in that ?」
EVELINA:「It 's not my decision . The Sisters chose for me . I have the gift of sight .」
DONNA:「Then ... what can you see happening tomorrow ?」
EVELINA:「Is tomorrow special ?」
DONNA:「You tell me . What d'you see ?」
narration:She closes her eyes , smiling .
EVELINA:「The sun will rise . The sun will set . Nothing special at all .」
DONNA:「Look , do n't tell the Doctor I said anything cos he 'll kill me , but I 've got a prophecy too .」
narration:Evelina , looking worried , covers her eyes with her hands , creating a link to the Sisterhood so they can also hear Donna .
DONNA ( her voice echoing also in the Temple of Sybil ):「Evelina , I 'm sorry , but you 've got to hear me out .」
SPURRINA:「Sisters !」
DONNA:「Evelina , can you hear me ? Listen ...」
EVELINA:「There is only one prophecy .」
DONNA:「But everything I 'm about to say to you is true . I swear . Just listen to me . Tomorrow , that mountain is gon na explode . Evelina , please listen . The air is gon na fill with ash and rocks , tons and tons of it , this whole town is gon na get buried .」
EVELINA:「That 's not true .」
DONNA:「I 'm sorry . I 'm really sorry . But everyone 's gon na die .」
SPURRINA:「A new prophecy !」
THALINA:「Impossible . There is only one .」
DONNA:「Even if you do n't believe me , just ... tell your family to get out of town . Just for one day , just for tomorrow . But you 've got to get out . You 've got to leave Pompeii !」
EVELINA ( in despair ):「This is false prophecy ! SPURRINA ( kneeling in front of the High Priestess )」
HIGH PRIESTESS:「Pompeii will last forever .」
SPURRINA:「Then what must we do ?」
HIGH PRIESTESS:「The false prophet must die . Sacrifice her !」
narration:The Doctor is arranging the stone circuits on the shelf .
Doctor Who:「Put this one ... there . This one ... there . Er , keep that one upside down , and what we got ?」


LUCIUS:「Enlighten me .」
Doctor Who:「What , the soothsayer does n't know ?」
LUCIUS:「A seed may float on the breeze in any direction .」
Doctor Who:「Yeah , I knew you would say that . But it 's an energy converter .」
LUCIUS:「An energy converter of what ?」
Doctor Who:「I do n't know . Is n't that brilliant ? I love not knowing . Keeps me on my toes . It must be awful being a prophet , waking up every morning , ' Is it raining ? Yes it is , I said so . ' Takes all the fun out of life . But who designed this , Lucius ? Hm ? Who gave you these instructions ?」
LUCIUS:「I think you 've babbled enough .」
Doctor Who:「Lucius , really , tell me , honestly I 'm on your side . I can help .」
LUCIUS:「You insult the gods . There can be only one sentence . At arms !」
Doctor Who:「Oh , morituri te salutant .」
LUCIUS:「Celtic prayers wo n't help you now .」
QUINTUS:「But it was him sir , he made me do it . Mr Dextrus , please , do n't .」


Doctor Who:「Come on now , Quintus , dignity in death . I respect your victory , Lucius . ( He reaches out his hand ) . Shake on it ? Come on . Dying man 's wish ?」
narration:He grabs Lucius ' right beneath the cloak , and breaks it off !
LUCIUS:「Aargh !」
QUINTUS:「But he 's ...」
Doctor Who:「Show me .」
narration:Lucius throws back the cloak , revealing the strump of his right hand , all stoned .
LUCIUS ( proud ):「The work of the gods .」
QUINTUS:「He 's stone !」
Doctor Who:「' Armless enough , though . Whoops ! ( He throws the arm at Lucius ) . Quintus !」
narration:Quintus throws the torch at the guards , the Doctor uses the sonic screwdriver to push the circuits off the shelf , then he and Quintus jump out through the window .
LUCIUS:「The carvings !」
Doctor Who:「Run !」
LUCIUS:「My carvings ! ( He picks one up ) . The work is unbroken .」
narration:The Doctor and Quintus run on the street . Lucius talks into the hypocaust .


LUCIUS:「Oh , Lord of the Mountain , I beseech you ! This man would prevent the rise of Pompeii . Lord , I beg of you , show yourself . Show yourself !」
narration:Down in the chasm , a stone creature with glowing eyes roars back to him . The Doctor and Quintus stop running .
Doctor Who:「No sign of them . Nice little bit of allons - y . I think we 're all right .」
QUINTUS:「But his arm , Doctor . Is that what 's happening to Evelina ?」
narration:They hear a deep , loud bang .
Doctor Who:「What was that ?」
QUINTUS:「The mountain ?」
narration:It is repeated , and then over and over again . It shatters the ground .
Doctor Who:「No , it 's closer . Footsteps ...」
QUINTUS:「It ca n't be .」
Doctor Who:「Footsteps underground .」
QUINTUS:「What is it ? What is it ?」
narration:The Doctor grabs him and they run . In Caecilius ' villa they can hear and feel it too . The family and servants rush together .
METELLA:「What is it ? What 's that noise ?」
CAECILIUS:「Does n't sound like Vesuvius !」


narration:The Doctor and Quintus arrive .
Doctor Who:「Caecilius , all of you ! Get out !」
DONNA:「Doctor ! What is it ?」
Doctor Who:「I think we 're being followed . Just get out !」
narration:But they stand there , stunned , watching as the grille of the hypocaust flies away and a huge creature , a Pyrovile emerges from beneath .
EVELINA:「The gods are with us .」
Doctor Who:「Water ! We need water ! Quintus , all of you , get water ! Donna !」
narration:Donna , Quintus and most servants obey . But one servant just steps in front of the Pyrovile .
SERVANT:「Blessed are we to see the gods .」
narration:The Pyrovile blows fire at him , burning him to dust . The Doctor steps between the family and the Pyrovile , trying to negotiate .
Doctor Who:「Talk to me , that 's all I want ! Talk to me , you just tell me you are . Do n't hurt these people !」
narration:In the meantime , Donna has fetched a bucket , but she is kidnapped by the Sibylline Sisters before she could return to help .
DONNA ( muffled ):「Doctor ! Doctor !」


Doctor Who:「Talk to me ! I 'm the Doctor , just tell me who you are .」
narration:Quintus and a servant return and pour water on the Pyrovile . That puts its fire out and the whole thing collapses , shattering to pieces of rock .
CAECILIUS:「What was it ?」
Doctor Who:「Carapace of stone , held together by internal magma , not too difficult to stop . But I reckon that 's just the foot soldier .」
METELLA:「Doctor , or whatever your name is , you bring bad luck on this house .」
Doctor Who:「I thought your son was brilliant , are n't you gon na thank him ? ( Metella and Caecilius hug Quintus ) . Still ... If there are aliens at work in Pompeii , it 's a good thing we stayed . Donna !」
narration:But she is nowhere ...
Doctor Who:「Donna ? Donna ?」
narration:Donna is tied to a stone altar , Spurrina stands beside her with a huge knife , the other Sisters in a circle around them .
DONNA:「You have got to be kidding me .」
SPURRINA:「The False Prophet will surrender both her blood and her breath .」
DONNA:「I 'll surrender you in a minute . Do n't you dare !」


SPURRINA:「You will be silent .」
DONNA:「Listen , sister , you might have eyes on the back of your hands , but you 'll have eyes in the back of your head by the time I 've finished with you ! Let me go !」
SPURRINA:「This prattling voice will cease forever !」
Doctor Who:「Oh , that 'll be the day .」
narration:The sisters are shocked by his appearance . Donna smiles at him .
SPURRINA:「No man is allowed to enter the Temple of Sibyl .」
Doctor Who:「Well , that 's all right , just us girls . Do you know , I met the Sibyl once , yeah , hell of a woman . Blimey , she could dance the Tarantella ! Nice teeth . Truth be told , I think she had a bit of a thing for me . I said it would never last , she said , " I know " . Well , she would . ( To Donna )」
DONNA ( sarcastic ):「Oh , never better .」
Doctor Who:「I like the toga .」
DONNA:「Thank you . And the ropes ?」
Doctor Who:「Yeah , not so much .」
narration:He frees her with the sonic .
SPURRINA:「What magic is this ?」


Doctor Who:「Let me tell you about the Sibyl , the founder of this religion . She would be ashamed of you . All her wisdom and insight turned sour . Is that how you spread the word , hey ? On the blade of a knife ?」
SPURRINA:「Yes , a knife that now welcomes you !」
narration:She lifts the knife at him .
HIGH PRIESTESS:「Show me this man !」
narration:The sisters turn toward her bed and kneel down , except Spurrina who still stands behind the altar .
SPURRINA:「High Priestess , the stranger would defile us .」
HIGH PRIESTESS:「Let me see . This one is different . He carries starlight in his wake .」
narration:The Doctor and Donna step closer to the bed .
Doctor Who:「Oh , very perceptive . Where do these words of wisdom come from ?」
HIGH PRIESTESS:「The gods whisper to me .」
Doctor Who:「They 've done far more than that . Might I beg audience ? Look upon the High Priestess ?」
narration:The curtains of the bad are drawn aside , revealing the High Priestess , a former human by now almost entirely turned to stone .
DONNA:「Oh , my God . What 's happened to you ?」
HIGH PRIESTESS:「The heavens have blessed me .」


Doctor Who:「If I might ...」
narration:He steps closer , touching the priestess ' hand .
Doctor Who:「Does it hurt ?」
HIGH PRIESTESS:「It is necessary .」
Doctor Who:「Who told you that ?」
HIGH PRIESTESS:「The voices .」
DONNA:「Is that what 's gon na happen to Evelina ? Is this what 's gon na happen to all of you ?」
narration:Spurrina shows her her hand , which is turning to stone like Evelina 's .
SPURRINA:「The blessings are manifold .」
DONNA:「They 're stone .」
Doctor Who:「Exactly . The people of Pompeii are turning to stone before the volcano erupts . But why ?」
HIGH PRIESTESS:「This word , this image in your mind . This volcano ... what is that ?」
Doctor Who:「More to the point , why do n't you know about it ? Who are you ?」
HIGH PRIESTESS:「High Priestess of the Sibylline .」
Doctor Who:「No , no , no , no , no , I 'm talking to the creature inside you . The thing that 's seeding itself into a human body , in the dust , in the lungs , taking over the flesh and turning it into ... what ?」


HIGH PRIESTESS:「Your knowledge ... is impossible .」
Doctor Who:「Oh , but you can read my mind , you know it 's not . I demand you tell me who you are !」
narration:Her voice changes , now she speaks as a Pyrovile .
HIGH PRIESTESS / PYROVILE:「We ... are ... awakening .」
SPURRINA:「The voice of the gods !」
SISTERS ( chanting non - stop ):「# Words of wisdom , words of power . Words of wisdom , words of power ...」
Doctor Who:「Name yourself ! Planet of origin . Galactic coordinates . Species designation according to the universal ratification of the Shadow Proclamation .」
HIGH PRIESTESS / PYROVILE:「We ... are ... rising .」
Doctor Who:「Tell ... me ... your name !」
HIGH PRIESTESS / PYROVILE:「Pyrovile .」
SISTERS:「# Pyrovile , Pyrovile , Pyrovile ...」
DONNA:「What 's a Pyrovile ?」
Doctor Who:「Well that 's a Pyrovile , growing inside her . She 's a halfway stage .」
DONNA:「What , and that turns into ...」
Doctor Who:「That thing in the villa , that was an adult Pyrovile .」


HIGH PRIESTESS / PYROVILE:「And the breath of a Pyrovile will incinerate you , Doctor .」
narration:The Doctor pulls out a small yellow water pistol .
Doctor Who:「I warn you , I 'm armed ! Donna , get that grille open .」
DONNA:「What for ?」
Doctor Who:「Just ... ( To the priestess )」
HIGH PRIESTESS / PYROVILE:「We fell from the heavens . We fell so far and so fast , we were rendered into dust .」
Doctor Who:「Right , creatures of stone , shattered on impact . When was that , 17 years ago ?」
HIGH PRIESTESS / PYROVILE:「We have slept beneath for thousands of years .」
Doctor Who:「OK , so 17 years ago woke you up , and now you 're using human bodies to reconstitute yourselves , but why the psychic powers ?」
HIGH PRIESTESS / PYROVILE:「We opened their minds and found such gifts .」
Doctor Who:「OK , get that fine , so you force yourself inside a human brain , use the latent psychic talent to bond , I get that , I get that , yeah . But seeing the future , that is way beyond psychic , you can see through time . Where does the gift of prophecy come from ?」


DONNA:「Got it !」
Doctor Who:「Now get down !」
DONNA:「What , down there ?」
Doctor Who:「Yes , down there . Why ca n't this lot predict a volcano ? Why is it being hidden ?」
SPURRINA:「Sisters , I see into his mind . The weapon is harmless !」
Doctor Who:「Yeah , but it 's got a sting .」
narration:He sprays the High Priestess with water . She screams in pain .
THE DOCTOR ( to Donna ):「Get down there !」
narration:They jump down , while the Sisters run to help their High Priestess .
DONNA:「You fought her off with a water pistol . I bloody love you !」
Doctor Who:「This way !」
DONNA:「Where are we going now ?」
Doctor Who:「Into the volcano .」
DONNA:「No way .」
Doctor Who:「Yes way . Appian way !」
HIGH PRIESTESS / PYROVILE:「The stranger would threaten our great endeavour . The time has come . The prophecy must advance !」
LUCIUS:「The prophecy must advance . Thy will be done . Summon the Cult of Vulcan .」
SERVANT:「Yes , sir .」


LUCIUS:「We must go to the mountain . Vesuvius awaits .」
CAECILIUS:「Sunrise , my love . A new day . Even the longest night must end .」
QUINTUS:「The mountain 's worse than ever .」
METELLA:「We killed a messenger of the gods in our own house . ( To Evelina )」
QUINTUS:「Just ... leave her alone .」
EVELINA:「I can see ...」
METELLA:「What is it ?」
EVELINA:「A choice . Someone must make a choice . ( In tears ) The most terrible choice .」
DONNA:「But if it 's aliens setting off the volcano , does n't that make it all right , for you to stop it ?」
Doctor Who:「Still part of history .」
DONNA:「But I 'm history to you . You saved me , in 2008 , you saved us all . Why 's that different ?」
Doctor Who:「Some things are fixed , some things are in flux . Pompeii is fixed .」
DONNA:「How do you know which is which ?」


Doctor Who:「Because that 's how I see the universe . Every waking second , I can see what is , what was , what could be , what must not . That 's the burden of the Time Lord , Donna . And I 'm the only one left .」
DONNA:「How many people died ?」
Doctor Who:「Stop it .」
DONNA:「Doctor , how many people died ?」
Doctor Who:「20,000 .」
DONNA:「Is that what you can see , Doctor ? All 20,000 ? And you think that 's all right , do you ?」
narration:There 's a loud howl .
Doctor Who:「They know we 're here . Come on !」
narration:Lucius leads six black - cloaked people , each carrying a stone circuit , and the two armed guards to an opening in the side of Vesuvius .
LUCIUS:「Almighty Vesuvius , accept these offerings , in Vulcan 's design , and show unto us , I beseech you , the gods of the Underworld .」
narration:A Pyrovile comes out to them . The Doctor and Donna arrive to a gigantic cave .
Doctor Who:「It 's the heart of Vesuvius . We 're right inside the mountain .」
DONNA:「There 's tons of them .」


Doctor Who:「What 's that thing ?」
narration:He uses a telescope to take a better look of a round thing in the middle of the cave . He can see the carvings inside .
DONNA:「Oh , you better hurry up and think of something , Rocky fall 's on its way .」
Doctor Who:「That 's how they arrived . Or what 's left of it . Escape pod ? Prison ship ? Gene bank ?」
DONNA:「But why do they need a volcano ? Maybe ... it erupts , and they launch themselves back into space or something ?」
Doctor Who:「Oh , it 's worse than that .」
DONNA:「How could it be worse ? ( There 's another howl ) . Doctor , it 's getting closer .」
LUCIUS ( from the other side of the cave ):「Heathens ! Defile us ! They would desecrate your temple , My Lord Gods !」
Doctor Who:「Come on !」
narration:They run toward the middle of the cave .
DONNA:「We ca n't go in !」
Doctor Who:「Well , we ca n't go back !」
LUCIUS:「Crush them ! Burn them !」


narration:A Pyrovile steps in front of them , but the Doctor kills it with the water pistol , then they run toward the escape pod .
LUCIUS:「There is nowhere to run , Doctor , and daughter of London .」
Doctor Who:「Now then , Lucius , My Lords Pyrovillian , do n't get yourselves in a lather . In a lava ? No ? No . But if I might beg the wisdom of the gods before we perish ... once this new race of creatures is complete , then what ?」
LUCIUS:「My masters will follow the example of Rome itself . An almighty empire , bestriding the whole of civilization .」
DONNA:「But if you 've crashed , and you 've got all this technology , why do n't you just go home ?」
LUCIUS:「The Heaven of Pyrovillia is gone .」
Doctor Who:「What d'you mean , " gone " ? Where 's it gone ?」
LUCIUS:「It was taken . Pyrovillia is lost . But there is heat enough in this world for a new species to rise .」
Doctor Who:「Yeah , I should warn you , it 's 70 % water out there .」
LUCIUS:「Water can boil . And everything will burn , Doctor .」


Doctor Who:「Then the whole planet is at stake . Thank you . That 's all I needed to know . Donna !」
narration:They get inside the pod , the Doctor seals the door with the sonic .
LUCIUS:「You have them , My Lords !」
DONNA:「Could we be any more trapped ?」
narration:The Pyroviles start to blow fire at the pod .
DONNA:「Little bit hot .」
Doctor Who:「See ? The energy converter takes the lava , uses the power to create a fusion matrix , which welds Pyrovile to human . Now it 's complete , they can convert millions .」
DONNA:「But ca n't you change it ? With these controls ?」
Doctor Who:「Course I can , but do n't you see ? That 's why the soothsayers ca n't see the volcano . There is no volcano . Vesuvius is never gon na erupt . The Pyrovile are stealing all its power , and they use it to take over the world .」
DONNA:「But ... you can change it back ?」
Doctor Who:「I can invert the system , set off the volcano , and blow them up , yes . But ... that 's the choice , Donna . It 's Pompeii or the world .」
DONNA ( shocked ):「Oh , my God .」


Doctor Who:「If Pompeii is destroyed then it 's not just history . It 's me . I make it happen .」
DONNA:「But the Pyrovile are made of rocks , maybe they ca n't be blown up .」
Doctor Who:「Vesuvius explodes with the force of 24 nuclear bombs . Nothing can survive it . Certainly not us .」
DONNA:「Never mind us .」
Doctor Who:「Push this lever and it 's over . 20,000 people .」
narration:He seems uncertain , unwilling to take responsibility for so many death , even for the sake of the whole planet . Donna puts her hands at his . They look at each other , then push it down together . Hell breaks loose . Those with the gift of foresight scream in agony .
LUCIUS:「Nooooooo !」
SPURRINA:「A new prophecy !」
EVELINA:「The future is changing !」
narration:Vesuvius erupts . There 's a huge cloud of smoke and ash , but we can see the escape pod flying out .
CAECILIUS:「Sky is falling !」
EVELINA ( in tears ):「Death . Only death !」
narration:The Doctor and Donna get out of the pod , they are outside the town .
Doctor Who:「It was an escape pod .」


narration:He grabs Donna 's hand and they run back towards the town , the TARDIS . Clouds of ash hide the sun . The town is chaotic , people screaming , panicking , trying to escape .
CAECILIUS:「Out ! Out , everybody out ! Quickly !」
narration:In the Temple of Sybil , the High Priestess / Pyrowile is still howling . Spurrina and Thalina are crouching in front of the altar , holding the unconscious young soothsayer in their laps .
SPURRINA:「You lied to us ! And yet , this was meant to be .」
narration:The Doctor and Donna run through the chaos on the streets . Donna still tries to save people but nobody listens to her .
DONNA:「Do n't ! Do n't go to the beach ! Do n't go to the beach , go to the hills ! Listen to me ! Do n't go to the beach , it 's not safe ! Listen to me ... !」
narration:She sees a little boy crying , alone , and goes to him .
DONNA:「Come here .」
narration:The mother snatches him .
WOMAN:「Give him to me !」
narration:Donna just stands there crying , devastated , until the Doctor grabs his hand .
Doctor Who:「Come on .」


narration:They reach Caecilius ' villa . The family is crouching on the ground , hugging each other , crying .
CAECILIUS:「God save us , Doctor !」
narration:The Doctor looks at them , then turns away and enters the TARDIS .
DONNA:「No ! Doctor you ca n't !」
narration:She knows she should go , but ca n't leave them behind .
DONNA:「Doctor !」
narration:The TARDIS engines start working . Donna finally runs inside .
DONNA:「You ca n't just leave them !」
Doctor Who:「Do n't you think I 've done enough ? History 's back in place and everyone dies .」
DONNA:「You 've got to go back ! Doctor , I 'm telling you , take this thing back ! ( After a pause , quietly ) . It 's not fair .」
Doctor Who:「No , it 's not .」
DONNA:「But your own planet ... It burned .」
Doctor Who:「That 's just it . Do n't you see , Donna ? Ca n't you understand ? If I could go back and save them then I would , but I ca n't . I can never go back , I ca n't . I just ca n't , I ca n't .」


DONNA ( in tears ):「Just someone . Please . Not the whole town . Just save someone .」
narration:The Doctor gives her a long look , before finally making up his mind . The TARDIS rematerializes in Caecilius ' villa . Surrounded by blinding light , the Doctor reaches out his hand to Caecilius .
Doctor Who:「Come with me .」
narration:They grab each other 's hand . The Doctor , Donna and Caecilius ' family are standing on a hillside , watching the destruction of Pompeii .
Doctor Who:「It 's never forgotten , Caecilius . Oh , time will pass , men will move on , and stories will fade . But one day , Pompeii will be found , again . In thousands of years . And everyone will remember you .」
DONNA:「What about you , Evelina ? Can you see anything ?」
EVELINA:「The visions have gone .」
Doctor Who:「The explosion was so powerful it cracked open a rift in time . Just for a second . That 's what gave you the gift of prophecy . It echoed back into the Pyrovillian alternative . But not any more . You 're free .」
METELLA:「But tell me , who are you , Doctor ? With your words , and your temple containing such size within ?」


Doctor Who:「Oh , I was never here . Do n't tell anyone .」
CAECILIUS:「The great god Vulcan must be enraged ! It 's so volcanic . It 's like some sort of ... volcano . ( Choking ) . All those people .」
narration:Metella hugs him , crying . Evelina and Quintus hold each other 's hands . The Doctor and Donna enter the TARDIS quietly .
DONNA ( sincere ):「Thank you .」
Doctor Who:「Yeah . You were right . Sometimes I need someone . Welcome aboard .」


narration:A sweeping shot , the camera flies across an old manor house style building . We see a sign which indicates this building is the Rattigan Academy . The camera continues to sweep , showing us the building lit in eerie pink lighting ; looking atmospheric in the night time . Coming out of the main doors we see a big group of students , led by Luke Rattigan . The students are forcefully carrying Jo Nakashima .
STUDENT:「Come on , stop struggling !」
JO:「You 're gon na regret this ! Completely ridiculous ! Get your hands off me !」
narration:They continue to carry her until they reach the main steps , once they reach the steps Jo is thrown down them along with her files which are scattered across the floor .
LUKE:「I think that makes my answer clear .」
narration:He makes his way through the crowd of his red tracksuit - clad students . We see him , only 18 years old yet very much in charge , towering over Jo .
LUKE:「Do n't you ? Oh , and , er ... if you 're gon na go to print , spell my name right . Rattigan , with two Ts !」
JO:「Oh this goes way beyond the newspapers ! This thing 's worldwide ! I 'm telling you , ATMOS is dangerous !」
LUKE:「But if you had proof then you would n't be here !」
JO:「Fine ! If you wo n't listen , I 'll find someone else who will .」
narration:Having collected her belongings from the floor , Jo storms off towards her car . Once in the car , we see a sticker displaying ATMOS and see her ATMOS sat - nav .
SAT NAV:「Welcome . What is your destination ?」
JO:「Shut up , you 're the last thing I need .」
narration:She tries to switch off the ATMOS , but it will not turn off .
SAT NAV:「ATMOS can not be disabled .」
JO:「Right then . Take me to UNIT Headquarters . Tower Bridge , London .」
SAT NAV:「UNIT Headquarters .」
narration:The car sets off . In his room , Rattigan is talking to someone off screen , somewhere far away over intercom .
LUKE:「Her name 's Jo Nakashima . Freelance journalist , clever by the sound of it . But not as clever as me ... but that goes without saying .」
narration:He picks up a squash racket and ball , he plays around with them and continues talking . We see him talking briefly over the computer screen of the alien menace before returning back to his room .
LUKE:「I 'd recommend ... termination .」
GENERAL STAAL:「Remember your status boy , we do not take orders from humans .」
LUKE:「I said " recommend " .」
GENERAL STAAL:「Then your advice shows military wisdom . She will be terminated .」
LUKE:「Cool .」
narration:He gives a smile and hits his squash ball into the distance , triumphant . Jo is driving her car down a road , while talking on her phone . She has reached the answering machine of UNIT .
ANSWER MACHINE:「This is UNIT extension 221 ...」


JO:「Come on , do n't go to answerphone . Yes , this is a message to Colonel Mace from Jo , Jo Nakashima . Look , you ... you should 've got my email . I 've been investigating a number of deaths related to ATMOS systems ...」
SAT - NAV:「Go straight on .」
JO:「... no , I ca n't prove anything but there 's got to be a link . I need you to check all the people who died in ATMOS cars yesterday , and then check out the time .」
SAT - NAV:「Turn right .」
narration:It is now clear that Jo has reached a dead end , and the car stops near the river .
JO:「I do n't believe this !」
SAT - NAV:「This is your final destination .」
JO:「I said take me to UNIT !」
narration:She tries to correct the sat - nav but nothing happens .
SAT - NAV:「Go straight on !」
JO:「I do n't think so ! I 'll find my own way , thanks .」
narration:At that moment the car activates itself , revving up . Jo tries to control it .
SAT - NAV:「This is your final destination . This is your final destination . This is your final destination ...」
narration:The locks of the car are activated and Jo begins to panic .
JO:「No ! No ! Help ! No !」
narration:The car sets off driving at speed towards the river .
JO:「No ! NOOO !」
narration:The car speeds up , before hitting the river at great speed . We see it going slowly under after a large impact . Inside the TARDIS we see Donna at the controls , with the Doctor watching on . Seemingly he is teaching her to pilot it . Donna looks over the moon , the Doctor looks worried .
DONNA:「I ca n't believe I 'm doing this !」
Doctor Who:「No , neither can I.」


narration:He continues to watch on as she activates some controls .
Doctor Who:「Oh , careful !」
narration:He nudges her aside , gives the console a whack with the mallet and activates another control . He moves aside allowing Donna control again . He is watching the scanner eagerly with the mallet held closely to him .
Doctor Who:「Left hand down , left hand down !」
narration:Donna pulls down a control with her left hand and the TARDIS lurches . The Doctor regains control for a second .
Doctor Who:「Getting a bit too close to the 1980s !」
DONNA:「What am I gon na do ? Put a dent in 'em ?」
Doctor Who:「Well , someone did .」
narration:A mobile phone rings , Donna looks bemused , the Doctor looks concerned . He moves around the console to the source of the ringing .
DONNA:「Hold on . That 's a phone !」
narration:The Doctor pulls a mobile phone from a hold in the console .
DONNA:「You 've got a mobile ? Since when ?」
Doctor Who:「It 's not mine .」
narration:He answers the phone and sits down next to the console .
Doctor Who:「Hello ?」


narration:We see Martha Jones , standing in an alleyway with a phone . She turns to face the camera and smiles to herself .
MARTHA:「Doctor ? It 's Martha , and I 'm bringing you back to Earth !」
