“The Waters of Mars”

In this episode: Tenth Doctor (5), Adelaide (4), Maggie (1)

[Pointing her gun at the Doctor] State your name, rank, and intention!

The Doctor. Doctor. Fun.

TTarak

What the hell? It's a man. A man on Mars! How?

SSteffi

He was wearing this thing. (His orange spacesuit) I have never seen anything like it.

TTarak

What did Mission Control say?

SSteffi

They're out of range for ten hours with the solar flares.

If we could cut the chat, everyone.

Actually, chat's second on my list, the first being gun pointed at my head. Which then puts my head second and chat third, I think. Gun, head, chat, yeah. I hate lists. But you could hurt someone with that thing. Just put it down.

Oh, you'd like that.

Can you find me someone who wouldn't?

Why should I trust you?

Because I give you my word. And forty million miles away from home, my word is all you've got.

AAndy

[Holding a pair of carrots he's just washed] The very first garden off Earth. Everything brand new. Eden. That's what we should have called this place. [Takes a bite of one of the carrots]

It's the Philippines. I bet. If there's someone else on Mars, it's got to be the Philippines. All those stories about them building a rocket. [Behind her back, Andy starts jerking] Adelaide's going to love that. Stealing her thunder. Mind you, worth it to see her face. Or it could be the Spanish. They kept that Spacelink project under wraps. Didn't your sister work for them? [Sees Andy on his knees completely still] Are you all right, mate? Come on, stop mucking about. Andy? Are you okay?

[Andy turns around, revealing that his eyes are white and the skin around his mouth has grey cracks in it and water is dribbling out. Maggie screams]

[The Flood] can't be stopped! Don't die with us!

No, 'cos someone told me just recently, they said I was going to die. They said, "he will knock four times," and I think I know what that means, and it doesn't mean right here, right now, 'cos I don’t hear anyone knocking, do you?

[The Flood-possessed Andy, in response, knocks three times on the door in response]

Three knocks is all you're getting! [electrifies the door] Water and electricity: bad mix! Now then what else have we got?

But there’s no way to fight them!

Heat! They use water; we can use heat! Works against the Ice Warriors, works against the Flood. Ramp up the environment controls and steam them!

But you said we die! For the future! for the human race!

But there are laws. There are laws of time. Once upon a time there were people in charge of those laws, but they died. They all died. Do you know who that leaves? Me! It's taken me all these years to realise the laws of time are mine, and they will obey me!

No one should have that much power!

Tough.

[nervous] You should have left us there.

Adelaide, I've done this sort of thing before. In small ways, save some little people, but never someone as important as you-oh, I'm good!

[furious] "Little people"!? What, like Mia and Yuri? Who decides they're so unimportant!? You!?

[cold and triumphant] For a long time now, I thought I was just a survivor, but I'm not. I'm the winner! That's who I am. The Time Lord Victorious!

And there's no one to stop you?

No.

[disgusted] This is wrong, Doctor! I don't care who you are: the Time Lord Victorious is wrong!

[arrogantly] That's for me to decide.

[Adelaide has killed herself to prevent the Doctor from altering time. A projection of Ood Sigma appears before the Doctor.]

I've gone too far. Is this it? My death? Is it time!?

[Sigma fades away. The Doctor enters the TARDIS, and the Cloister Bell sounds].

[defiantly] No!
