TEXT: RECAP OF "THE HUNGRY EARTH" [SCENE_BREAK] Matt Smith Karen Gillan "Cold Blood" by Chris Chibnall Producer Peter Bennett Director Ashley Way [SCENE_BREAK] SPACE The Earth spins on its axis. ELDANE: (V.O.) This is the story of our planet, Earth, of the day 1,000 years past when we came to share it with a race know as Humanity. It is the story of the Doctor who helped our races find common ground and the terrible losses he suffered. It is the story of our past and must never be forgotten. SILURIAN CITY, CAVERN The DOCTOR and NASREEN are walking along pathways in a cavern above molten magma and past buildings. DOCTOR: This place is enormous and deserted. The majority of the race are probably still asleep. (takes out sonic screwdriver) We need to find Amy, looking for heat signature anomalies. NASREEN: But, Doctor, how can all this be here? I mean, these plants. SILURIAN CITY, TUNNEL DOCTOR: Must be getting closer to the centre of the city. NASREEN: You're sure this is the best way to enter? DOCTOR: Front door approach! Definitely. Always the best way... An alarm sounds and a female voice is heard over a speaker system. TANNOY: Hostile life force detected, area 17. The DOCTOR and NASREEN stop. DOCTOR: Apart from the back door approach, that's also good, (turns around) sometimes better. TANNOY: Hostile life force detected, area 17. A door slides open in front of NASREEN. NASREEN: Doctor! Armed Silurian soldiers come through the door as the warning repeats. More arrive through the tunnel behind them. The DOCTOR raises his hands. DOCTOR: We're not hostile, we're not armed! (pulls up NASREEN's arm) We're here in peace! The Silurians shoot gas from their weapons. The DOCTOR and NASREEN fall to the floor, unconscious. SILURIAN CITY,
SUMMARY:
Amy and Mo escape and discover that Elliot is being held in an observation chamber. Elliot's mother Ambrose ( Nia Roberts ) kills Alaya in revenge for stealing Elliot. The Doctor, Amy, Mo and Nasreen are captured and ordered to be executed by Alaya's sister, Restac ( Neve McIntosh ), but the execution is stopped by the Silurian leader Eldane. The Doctor tells Rory, Tony, and Ambrose that they are sending a transport up for them and Alaya, which will free them all to return to the surface. Rory, Tony, and Ambrose return Alaya's body to her people. It is agreed that the Silurians will hibernate for a thousand years, since humanity is not ready to share the Earth with them. Tony decides to stay behind with the Silurians to have his venom infection treated, and Nasreen stays with him. As the Doctor leaves with Elliot and the other humans, they find a crack in the cavern. The Doctor reaches into it to investigate, and pulls out what is later revealed as a piece of the TARDIS. Before they leave, Restac shoots Rory dead; he is consumed by the crack, erasing him from existence (and Amy's memory).
