Doctor Who

- What's happened? - The time vortex. It's gone.

Well, we've landed. We've got to be somewhere.

It's parallel, right? Like a parallel Earth only they've got zeppelins?

Am I right? I'm right, aren't I?

A parallel world where my dad's still alive.

Rose, he's not your father and she is not your mother.

What's that? Mickey, we've got power!

You're a fine businessman, John.

But you're not God.

What am I doing there?

He doesn't just look like me. He is exactly the same.

- What are they? - Cybermen.

Come on!

There's no need to damage us. We're good stock.

We volunteer for the upgrade programme. Take us to be processed.

You are rogue elements.

But we surrender.

You are incompatible.

But this is a surrender!

You will be deleted.

But we're surrendering! Listen to me! We surrender!

You are inferior.

Man will be reborn as Cyberman

but you will perish under maximum deletion.

Delete. Delete. Delete.

- What the hell was that? - Or how about instead, run!

Everybody in!

- I've got to go back. My wife's in there. - Anyone inside that house is dead.

If you want to help, then don't let her die for nothing.

You've got to come with us right now.

Come on, get a move on.

Rose, she's not your mother.

- I know. - Come on.

Finished chatting? Never seen a slower getaway in my life!

What was that thing?

Little bit of technology from my home.

It's stopped glowing. Has it run out?

It's on a revitalising loop. It'll charge back up in about four hours.

- So we don't have a weapon anymore? - Yeah, we've got weapons.

Might not work on those metal things but they're good enough for men like him.

Leave him alone! What's he done wrong?

Oh, you know, just laid a trap that's wiped out the government

and left Lumic in charge.

If I was part of all that, do you think I'd leave my wife inside?

Maybe your plan went wrong. Still gives us the right to execute you, though.

Talk about executions, you'll make me your enemy.

And take some really good advice, you don't want to do that.

All the same, we have evidence that says Pete Tyler's been working

for the Lumic since 20.5.

Is that true?

Tell them, Mrs M.

We've got a government mole who feeds us information.

Lumic's private files, his South American operations, the lot.

Secret broadcasts twice a week.

- Broadcasts from Gemini? - And how do you know that?

I'm Gemini! That's me!

- Yeah, well, you would say that. - Encrypted wavelength 657, using binary 9.

That's the only reason I was working for Lumic, to get information.

I thought I was broadcasting to the security services. What do I get?

Scooby Doo and his gang. They've even got the van.

No, no, but the Preachers know what they're doing.

Ricky said he's London's most wanted.

Yeah, that's not exactly...

Not exactly what?

I'm London's most wanted for parking tickets.

Great.

They were deliberate. I was fighting the system.

- Park anywhere, that's me. - Good policy. I do much the same.

I'm the Doctor by the way, if anyone's interested.

And I'm Rose. Hello.

Even better. That's the name of my dog.

Still, at least I've got the catering staff on my side.

I knew you weren't a traitor.

Why's that, then?

I just did.

They took my wife.

She might still be alive.

That's even worse 'cause that's what Lumic does.

He takes the living and he turns them into those machines.

Cybermen.

They're called Cybermen.

And I'd take those Ear Pods off if I were you.

You never know, Lumic could be listening.

But he's over-reached himself. He's still just a businessman.

He's assassinated the President.

All we need to do is get to the city and inform the authorities.

Because I promise you, this ends tonight.

My everlasting children. Tell me, how does it feel?

We feel nothing.

But in your mind, what do you think?

We think the same. We are uniform.

But you think of what?

We think of the humans. We think of their difference and their pain.

They suffer in the skin. They must be upgraded.

Excellent. Then let's begin.

Computer, identify John Lumic.

Voice prim' acknowledged.

Activate Ear Pod primary sequence.

Please state area of activation.

The city of London.

I've just declared independence.

Begin transmission.

They will come to me. My new children.

The immortal ones.

The whole of London has been sealed off.

There are reports of an army, an army of metal men.

All citizens should remove their Ear Pods. I repeat; Remove all Ear Pods.

London has been placed under martial law.

If you are hearing this, stay in your homes. I repeat; Stay in your homes.

Oh, no, you don't.

- What the hell? - What's going on?

It's the Ear Pods. Lumic's taken control.

Can't we just, I don't know, take them off?

Don't. It'll cause a brainstorm.

The human race, for such an intelligent lot, you aren't half susceptible.

Give anyone a chance to take control and you submit.

Sometimes I think you like it. Easy life.

Hey. Come and see.

- Where are they all going? - I don't know.

Lumic must have a base of operations.

Battersea. That's where he was building his prototypes.

Why's he doing it?

He's dying.

This all started out as a way of prolonging life, keeping the brain alive.

At any cost.

Thing is, I've seen Cybermen before, haven't I?

The head, those handle shapes, in Van Statten's Museum.

Oh, there are Cybermen in our universe.

They started on an ordinary world just like this, then swarmed across the galaxy.

This lot are a parallel version. They're starting from scratch here on Earth.

What the hell are you two on about?

Never mind. Come on, we need to get out of the city.

Okay, split up. Mrs Moore, you look after that lot.

Jake, distract them, go right, I'll go left. We'll meet back at Bridge Street. Move.

I'm going with him.

Come on. Let's go.

Back!

- Which way? I don't know where we are. - Did they see us?

- Do they know where we are? - I bet they saw us.

I bet they saw us in the dark.

- They know where we are. - They know where we are.

I don't get it. What is it with you? You are exactly like me.

- I don't know. I reckon you're braver. - Oh, yeah. Ten times.

Still, your friends aren't bad, I'll give you that.

Oh, that's the Doctor and Rose. I just tag along behind.

Well, then you're not that bad.

- Do you think? - Yeah, suppose.

Cybermen.

- Split up! - Split up!

Go.

Chamber 72 now closed for sterilisation.

All reject stock will be incinerated.

Come on! Come on!

Come on!

No!

This one is un-programmed.

Mr Crane, I thought you were one of the faithful.

Oh, that I am, sir. My Ear Pod must have malfunctioned,

for which I apologise.

If I might?

I'd like to request an upgrade, sir.

I've seen the future and it's copyright Cybus Industries.

Sign me up.

A willing volunteer?

You've known me a long time, sir.

Quite a team, you and me. I've been with you all the way.

But believe me, sir, knowing you so well, I know exactly what to do.

No!

No! Help me!

Die, you...

- Help me! - You are in pain. We can remove pain forever.

No. Not yet. I'm not ready.

We will give you immortality.

I've told you, I will upgrade only with my last breath.

Then breathe no more.

No. No. I command you. No!

I ran past the river, you should've seen it. The whole city's on the march.

Hundreds of Cybermen, all down the Thames.

Here he is.

- Which one are you? - I'm sorry, the Cybermen, he couldn't...

Are you Ricky?

Are you Ricky?

Mickey, that's you, isn't it?

Yeah.

He tried. He was running. There was too many of them.

Shut it.

- There was nothing I could do. - I said just shut it!

Don't even talk about him.

You're nothing, you are.

Nothing.

We can mourn him when London is safe.

For now, we move on.

The whole of London's been sealed off

and the entire population's been taken inside that place.

To be converted.

We've got to get in there and shut it down.

- How do we do that? - Oh, I'll think of something.

- You're just making this up as you go along. - Yep.

But I do it brilliantly.

That's a schematic of the old factory.
