The End of Time (both parts)
Part 1
The Doctor: Ah! Now, sorry. There you are. So. Where were we? I was summoned, wasn't I? And Ood in the snow, calling to me. Well I didn't exactly come straight here. Had a bit of fun, you know. Travelled about, did this and that. Got into trouble, you know me. It was brilliant. I saw the Phosphorus Carousel of the Great Magellan Gestalt. Saved a planet from the Red Carnivorous Morg. Named a galaxy Allison. Got married. That was a mistake. Good Queen Bess. And let me tell you, her nickname is no longer... ahem. Anyway. What d'you want?
Ood Sigma: You should not have delayed.
The Doctor: Last time I was here you said my song would be ending soon. And I'm in no hurry for that.
Ood Sigma: You will come with me.
The Doctor: Hold on. Better lock the TARDIS. {uses a remote} See, like a car. I locked it like a car. Like.... It's funny. No? Little bit. Blimey, try to make an Ood laugh.

Ood Elder: He comes to us. Every night. I think all the peoples of the universe dream of him now.
The Doctor: That man is dead.
Ood Elder: There is yet more. Join us. Events are taking shape. So many years ago and yet changing the now. There is a man, so scared.
The Doctor: Wilfred! Is he alright? What about Donna? Is she safe?
Ood Elder: You should not have delayed. For the lines of convergence are being drawn across the Earth. Even now, the King is in his Counting House.
The Doctor: I don't know who they are.
Ood Elder: And there is another. The most lonely of all. Lost and forgotten.
The Doctor: The Master's wife.
Ood Sigma : We see so much but understand so little. The woman in the cage, who is she?
The Doctor: She was- It wasn't her fault. She was- The Master, he's a Time Lord like me. I can show you. The Master took the name of Saxon. He married a human. A woman called Lucy. And he corrupted her. She stood at his side while he conquered the Earth. I reversed everything he'd done so it never even happened. But Lucy Saxon remembered. I held him in my arms, I burned his body. The Master is dead.
Ood Elder: And yet, you did not see.
The Doctor: What's that? {in the past a woman picks up the ring} Part of him survived. I have to go!
Ood Elder: But something more is happening Doctor. The Master is part of a greater design. Because a shadow is falling over creation. Something vast is stirring in the dark. The Ood have gained this power to see through time because time is bleeding. Shapes of things once lost are moving through the veil. And these events from years ago threaten to destroy this future and the present and the past.
The Doctor: What do you mean?
Ood Elder: This is what we have seen, Doctor. The darkness heralds only one thing: the end of time itself.

Governor: As it was written in the secret books of Saxon, these are the potions of life.
Lucy Saxon (Alexandra Moen): Listen to me, whatever he told you, you've got no idea what you're doing.
Governor: Miss Trefusis, the catalyst.
Lucy: What are you doing? Leave me alone! Don't!
Governor: You were Saxon's wife. You bore his imprint. That's what we needed. The final biometrical signature.
Lucy: You can't bring him back. You can't! I'm begging you! Stop this now before it's too late!
Governor: We give ourselves that Saxon might live!
Lucy: Can't you see?! He lied to you! His name isn't even Harold Saxon!
Governor: And this was written also! For his name is The Master!
The Master (John Simm): Never never never dying. Never dying! Never dying!

The Master: Oh! Lucy. Sweet Lucy Saxon. My ever faithful. Did the widow's kiss bring me back to life.
Lucy: You're killing them!
The Master: Oh let them die. They're just the first. The whole stupid stinking human disgrace can fall into the pit. Can't you hear it, Lucy? The noise! The drumbeat! Louder than ever before! The drums. The never-ending drums. Oh, I have missed them.
Lucy: But no one knew you better than I did. I knew you'd come back. And all this time your disciples have prepared. But so have we!
The Master: What are you doing?
Lucy: The secret books of Saxon spoke of the potions of light. And I was never that bright. But my family had contacts. People who were clever enough to calculate the opposite.
The Master: Don't you dare! I'm ordering you, Lucy. You will obey me!
Lucy: 'Til death do us part, Harry! {she flings the potion into him}
The Master: No!!
