“Cold War”
In this episode: Eleventh Doctor (3), Clara Oswald (3)
Are we going to be okay?
Yes.
Is that a lie?
Possibly. Very dangerous time, Clara. East and West standing on the brink of nuclear oblivion. Lots of itchy fingers on the button.
Isn't it always like that?
Sorta. But there are flash points and this is one of them. Hair, shoulder pads, nukes. It's the '80s. Everything's bigger.
We were drilling for oil in the ice. I thought I'd found a mammoth.
It's not a mammoth.
No.
What is it, then?
It's an Ice Warrior! A native of the planet Mars. And we go way back. Way back.
Martian? You can't be serious!
I'm always serious. With days off.
Doctor.
Just keeping it light, Clara. They're scared.
They're scared? I'm scared!
The TARDIS! Where's the TARDIS? You never explained.
Oh, well, don't worry about that.
Stop saying that. Where is it?
Yeah. Well, I wasn't to know, was I?
Know what?
I've been tinkering, breaking her in. I'm allowed.
What did you do?
[mumbling] I reset the HADS.
Huh?
I reset [suddenly quieting his voice] the HADS.
The what?
The HADS! The Hostile Action Displacement System! If the TARDIS comes under attack, gunfire, time winds, the... sea, it... relocates!
Oh, Doctor...
Haven't used it in donkey's years. It seemed like a good idea at the time. Well, never mind, it's bound to turn up somewhere. [The Doctor's sonic screwdriver is heard whirring in his pocket] Ooh. Ha! See? Right on cue. [He examines his screwdriver's readings] Brilliant.
Brilliant.
The TARDIS is at the Pole.
Not far, then.
[sheepish] The South Pole.
Ah.
[to Captain Zhukov, embarrassed] Could we have a lift? [Both Clara and Zhukov laugh as they head back into the submarine; the Doctor laughs sarcastically after them]
