Victory of the Daleks [Part 3 - FINAL]

Storage room...

The TARDIS materialized and The Doctor exited and ran out of the room.

Dalek spaceship...

"The Doctor has failed. His compassion is his greatest weakness. Daleks have no such weakness."

Map room...

The Doctor ran in and punched Bracewell, knocking him to the ground. The Doctor shook his hand in pain.

"Doctor!" Amy yelled appalled.

"Ow! Sorry, Professor. You're a bomb! An inconceivably massive Dalek bomb."

"What?" Bracewell asked confused.

"There's an Oblivion Continuum inside you - a captured wormhole that provides perpetual power. Detonate that, and the Earth will bleed through into another dimension!" The Doctor knelt down beside Bracewell, pulled out his sonic screwdriver and opened Bracewell's shirt. "Now keep down!" The Doctor used the sonic screwdriver to reveal mechanics underneath Bracewell's skin.

Dalek spaceship...

"Detonation sequence activated. Time corridor establishing..."

"Time jump in thirty rels!"

Map room...

There was a circular pad divided into sections glowing blue on Bracewell's chest. One section turned yellow.

"Well?" Amy asked in anticipation.

"I dunno, I dunno, I dunno!" The Doctor shook the sonic. "Never seen one up close before!"

"So, what, they've wired him up to detonate?" Lexi asked trying to put things together.

"Not wired him up! He is a bomb. Walking, talking," The Doctor made some explosions noises with his mouth. "exploding! The moment that flashes red."

"There's... a blue wire or something you have to cut, isn't there? There's always a blue wire... Or a red one."

"You're not helping!"

"It's incredible. He talked to us about his memories. The Great War..." Churchill started.

The was now standing and tossing the sonic from one hand to the other.

"Someone else's stolen thoughts, implanted in a positronic brain. Tell me about it, Bracewell! Tell me about your life!" The Doctor knelt back down.

"Doctor, I really don't think this is the time!"

"Tell me and prove you're human. Tell me everything."

Dalek spaceship...

Five sections of the 'click' were showing red.

"Countdown proceeding."

Map room...

One section of Bracewell's chest was red and the second yellow.

"My family ran the Post Office. It's a little place just near the abbey. Just by the ash trees. There used to be eight trees but... but there was a storm." Bracewell was explaining.

"Any your parents? Come on! Tell me!" The Doctor was trying to hurry Bracewell.

"Goo people. Kind people. They... They died... Scarlet fever."

"What was that like? How did it feel?"

"Please..."

"How did it make you feel, Edwin? Tell me! Tell me now!"

"It hurt! It hurts, Doctor, so badly. Like a wound." The second section turned red and the third, yellow. "It was worse than a wound. Like I'd been emptied out. There was nothing."
