The screen lit up again and it said village of the angels

[Jericho's lab]
(A reel to reel tape recorder is turned on, and the word Test written on a notepad. A woman is hooked up to a lie detector.)
JERICHO: Can you tell me today's date, please?
CLAIRE: November 21st.
JERICHO: And the year?
CLAIRE: 1967.
(Untrue, apparently.)
JERICHO: There it goes again.
That's the same woman as before Amy said confused
[Churchyard]

(Church bell tolls. The lights are on in the cburch. The Reverend Shaw picks up a piece of paper left on a chest tomb that says Leave Now.)
Creepy much bill said looking freaked out
[Jericho's lab]

JERICHO: Huh. Can you state your name, please?
CLAIRE: Claire Brown.

[Medderton]

(It is raining, and another man has a lamp.)
GERALD: Peggy? Peggy! Ridiculous child. Peggy!
Something awful going to happen rose said
[Jericho's lab]

JERICHO: And your date of birth?
CLAIRE: You know this already.
JERICHO: Now, control questions only. Date of birth.
CLAIRE: 13th of May, 1985.
JERICHO: Beg pardon?

[Fields]

(The whole village is out searching for the missing child.)
ALL: Peggy? Peggy! Peggy? Peggy! Peggy!

[Jericho's lab]

CLAIRE: I said, 13th of May, 1935.
JERICHO: Oh, apologies. Word of advice, Miss Brown. Never get old, not even slightly. Thank goodness for mechanical recordings.
(The lie detector is going haywire.)
She didn't say that Ryan said that
JERICHO: There it goes again! Twice, for no reason. It is empirically, factually, November the 21st, 1967. And you clearly know your own birthday. Yet the machine would suggest you believe neither statement.
CLAIRE: Problematic when you need a control reference, a baseline.
JERICHO: Precisely. Oh, yes, I forgot. You're very with it.
CLAIRE: It's happening.
JERICHO: The percipient exhibits immediate and extreme physical distress, almost as if she's physically experiencing the events she describes. Theta waves suggest a sleep state, yet she remains extraordinarily alert. Mydriasis of the pupils, and yet no discernible trigger.
CLAIRE: Help me.
JERICHO: Yes, of course, my dear. All in good time.
CLAIRE: (possessed) There is no Time. Not any more. The end begins again now, And there will be no escape. Not this time. Not for her. Not for them. Not for you. (normal) The Angel has the Tardis.
How does she know river said confused

[Tardis]

(Cloister bell sounding.)
DOCTOR: The Angel has the controls. We have to get out of here! Both of you, keep your eyes on the Angel. Don't blink. If you blink, it could attack and displace us all in Time.
(She opens a hatch in the wall.)
DOCTOR: Incredibly dangerous in a moving Tardis.
DAN: How long for?
DOCTOR: Until I say.
DAN: I've got really dry eyes.
God I hated when that happens Rory said making Dan stare at him bewildered
YASMIN: What are they?
(Two blue glowing power lines from either side of the door.)
DOCTOR: Two things that should never be put together, or three things if you include me.
DAN: You're gonna put them together, aren't you?
DOCTOR: Yep. Reboot the Tardis. Dimensional compression should eject quantum lifeforms.
YASMIN: But the Tardis is broken and Time's out of sync, so how can you be sure it's gonna work?
DOCTOR: It does have an element of risk.
DAN: How big an element?
DOCTOR: Well, yeah, pretty big. I mean, the only element, really. Oh! See, it's cottoned on. Not a happy bunny. Now, when I say blink, blink.
Your giving them mixed signals sweetie river said laughing
DAN: You said, don't blink!
DOCTOR: Ah! I'm updating the advice. We need it to come as close as possible. Now, blink!
(The Doctor joins the two cables together. The Angel disappears and the Cloister Bell stops tolling.)
YASMIN: It worked.
DOCTOR: Of course it worked! Only problem is, it will take a very long time for the Tardis to reboot to operational status again. And the other only problem is, we don't know where we are. Or even if we are. And the third only problem is, even if we are somewhere what if it's where the Angel wanted us to be in the first place when it hijacked the Tardis?
DAN: At least we're alive. Thanks for that.
DOCTOR: You're welcome. Shall we have a nosey outside?
Oh god beware she's trouble the master said making me sigh and Clara glare at him
