Doctor Who

And I know that you'll try everything to stop me, so I can't take that risk.

Rani!

Welcome to the Time Hotel.

If you'd like to come with me, sir?

Magic door?

He had an actual magic door? The little--

Too late.

Happy morning.

One more day to go. It's May the 24th tomorrow.

Mmm.

John?

- What? But… -

Anita!

Hello, Doctor.

Oh! Oh, my God.

Oh… But the world… The world was…

The world was destroyed.

No. No, no, look.

- Look. -

- It's May the 23rd again. -

May the 24th never arrives. It resets.

It gets to midnight and then it all clicks back

to 7:00 a.m. on May the 23rd.

It's done it hundreds of times.

But we're…

We're in mid-air.

I've got the house key. I can open a door anywhere.

This is crazy.

Anita, it's…

It's so good to see you.

And, honey, somebody else was pleased to see you too.

- -

- Ricardo. - Ricardo.

- Head of HR. - Head of HR.

He worries too much, but he's lovely.

And this is a baby boy, due in three months…

If we ever get there because this place is in trouble.

The Hotel's in spasm,

'cause we're in 4202 and the world keeps ending in 2025.

As far as I can see,

- that woman in the sky-- - The Rani.

- The Rani. - The Rani.

- She's a Time Lord too, yeah? - Yes.

I tried looking for your TARDIS…

- …but I can't find it. - Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Anita, you are…

You are talking Time Lords and TARDISes.

When I left you, you were just…

Ordinary.

I didn't say that.

This job at the Time Hotel taught me so much…

And…

on my days off, I'd go looking for you.

- -

You are the Doctor!

You are an enemy of the Daleks!

Now you are in our power. You will be exterminated.

Oh.

I ran straight from that to Ricardo, so all's well that ends well.

But what about this Rani?

Why's she doing all this?

Why does Friday the 23rd keep resetting itself?

She needs the same day to keep repeating itself

so that it gets thinner and thinner and thinner until it snaps.

Once it's broken, she can see underneath the skin of reality.

What for?

To find Omega.

The most fearsome Time Lord in existence.

Can you take me to her?

That palace of hers is No Entry.

She's surrounded by a Threshold.

We can't get in.

It says that portal was the Time Hotel, December 2024.

You were supposed to follow him everywhere.

All right, I had Christmas off, and so did you.

We're the same person.

That strutting little pompadour.

He'll try to stop us.

We can't wait for another midnight.

Nine, nine, nine, nine, seven, seven, seven,

six, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, nine.

We don't have to.

The Seekers have fixed the location.

There. Hidden beneath reality, deep in the Underverse.

Omega.

Creator of the Time Lords.

Our Lord and Master.

No one is Lord and Master of me.

Now, how to bring him home?

Here you are, Doctor. Poppy's room.

Belinda woke up without you.

Every time the world resets, it gets a bit bumpy.

Things fall through the gaps.

Everyone sort of compensates, like they make the reality work.

It's a world built on a wish,

willed into existence by the Rani's pet human, Conrad Clark.

Oh, the Doctor loved playing jokes and games.

And he had a favourite planet called Earth.

A quiet little…

And I have a daughter.

But she isn't real.

How dare you?

I have been in the halls of the Goblin King.

I have stood in the Palaces of the Daleks.

I have entered the caves of Satan himself.

But what has happened here

in this tiny little bedroom in the middle of suburbia

is bigger than anything.

Hello?

Is someone there?

- It's me. - Oh.

You're home. I thought you were…

I don't know what I thought.

I'm coming down.

I'll make us some tea.

Nice surprise. Daddy's here.

But I'm…

I'm Belinda Chandra.

And you're Poppy.

She's real.

- Oh, my God. You're the Doctor. -

But you're real.

Here she is.

- We've had a baby. - In a single day.

And who's that?

This… This is Anita.

I just work in hospitality, really.

Is she safe, Doctor?

Please tell me our daughter is safe.

She is in danger, but we will fight, Bel, to save her.

Fight like never before.

What on earth?

Well, don't look. All of you, keep working.

I said keep working.

Mr Smith, what on earth do you think you're wearing?

The future.

Just a second, guys, because these are doorways into real time,

allowing you to see the truth.

- -

Mr Smith, whatever this is, I demand that you stop.

Mr Smith is gone.

I am the Doctor.

I'm wearing a suit.

I'm wearing tweed.

I'm wearing nylon.

Danger. Sub-atomic disruption. Reality levels now converging.

Doctor, what's happening?

Welcome back, Kate.

- -

- What is it now? - I don't know.

I've never done this before. Hold on tight.

I think reality is reasserting itself.

Rosie.

- Oh. -

Rosie.

Conrad… Conrad couldn't imagine you for even a second

so you didn't exist.

But now you are back, thanks to Anita.

I'm in the hotel industry.

Neet, Neet, I need you to stay there. Keep that door open.

Keep the real time flowing, honey.

Why is Conrad Clark on television?

Never mind him.

What the bloody hell is that thing?

Bone Beasts. Creatures from the Underverse.

Because when two realities collide, it creates friction

and the friction creates these excitated atoms,

and that summons the Bone Beasts. They're like antibodies.

They sort of graze, feeding off the atoms.

Cleaning up the world.

Now,

one more thing.

Hello, everyone.

I'm Belinda.

And this is our daughter, Poppy.

Well, now you're going too far.

Morning, Winnie love.

Another day in paradise?

- Happy May the 23rd. - Same to you.

Only one day to go.
