TEXT: [ EXT. Forrest - Night ] [SCENE_BREAK] ( Horse rears and whinnies ) Coachman: Whoa! Highwayman: Stand and deliver! Coachman: Do as he says. I've heard of this brigand. He's known as the Knightmare! Faster than Sam Swift the Quick, deadlier than Deadly Dupont. Highwayman: Dabbling lowpads the pair of 'em, with terrible pseudonyms to boot. Cash bags, jewels, the lot.

I'm only going to be a minute. Don't worry. Oh, very warm. Highwayman: What are you doing? The Doctor: Oh, just ignore me, I'm just passing through, like fish in the night. Highwayman: This is a robbery! The Doctor: It's not fish in the night, it's something else. Highwayman: This is my robbery. The Doctor: No, ships in the night. Yeah, something like that.

SUMMARY:
The Doctor is alone and on the trail of an alien artefact in 1651 England. He interrupts Ashildr, now calling herself "Me", attempting to rob Lucie Fanshawe. Throughout her immortal life, she has lost many memories, and now isolates herself as to not lose loved ones. Me and the Doctor steal the artefact from Lucie's house. The Doctor meets Me's ally Leandro, a leonine alien stranded on Earth who uses the artefact to open portals into space. In return for Me tricking the Doctor into helping him, Leandro has agreed to let her come with him to travel the galaxy. However, in order for the portal to be activated, the artefact requires another person's death. Me kills the outlaw Sam Swift, opening the portal. Leandro reveals that his intent is to assist his people in invading Earth. When Me rediscovers her humanity after seeing spaceships attack the crowd, she uses the medical chip to save Swift, closing the portal. Leandro's people kill him for his failure. Afterwards, Me says that she will look after those that the Doctor leaves behind.
