00:01When I was a child, my favorite story was about a man who lived forever.
00:07But whose eyes were heavy with the weight of all he'd seen.
00:11A man who fell from the stars.
00:24I knew you'd find me eventually.
00:30Make peace with your gods.
00:32Once they were your gods too.
00:34Not anymore.
00:58Am I the last one?
01:00There's one more.
01:02The Doctor.
01:04No.
01:04No.
02:05A load of stones and lumps of wood.
02:12The sign does say keep out.
02:14I see keep out signs as suggestions more than actual orders.
02:17Like dry clean only.
02:47That's not right.
02:55It's a street lamp.
02:56An electric street lamp about ten years too early.
02:59It's only a few years out.
03:00That's what you said when you left your phone charger when Henry VIII's en suite.
03:03Doctor, um...
03:05Anachronistic electricity.
03:07Keep out signs.
03:08Aggressive stares.
03:09Has someone been peeking at my Christmas list?
03:12Thanks, Doctor.
03:13You're right.
03:24You're right.
03:36You're right.
03:43What are you doing here, son?
03:45Son?
03:47You can stay.
03:48Sir?
03:49Might I inquire who you is?
03:51Of course.
03:52I'm the Doctor.
03:53This is...
03:55No need to stand.
03:56You see that?
03:58Manners.
03:59Oh, thank you.
04:00But I don't need a new suit.
04:01I'm the Undertaker, sir.
04:06I got a question.
04:09Is you an alien?
04:10Well, um...
04:12A bit personal.
04:13It's a relative, isn't it?
04:14I mean, I think you're the aliens, but in this context, yes.
04:17Yes.
04:18Yes.
04:19I suppose I am.
04:23Guys!
04:24Doctor!
04:25Put him down!
04:26Don't think we won't kill you!
04:27Leave her alone!
04:28Don't worry.
04:29Everything is completely under control.
04:31Get to the hospital!
04:33Guys!
04:34Guys!
04:35Get out!
04:49He's coming.
04:52Oh, God.
04:54He's coming.
04:56Oh, God.
04:56Preacher.
04:57Say something.
05:01Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
05:10Thy kingdom come.
05:14Thy will be done.
05:16Hey!
05:17Hey!
05:18You!
05:20Bowtie!
05:21Get back across that line.
05:26Now.
05:42Isaac.
05:43He said he was a doctor.
05:45An alien doctor.
05:49Got a reason to hand him to his death.
05:51But, Isaac, it could be him.
05:54You know it ain't.
05:59Ma'am.
06:05Let him go like that.
06:06Good seeing you, boy.
06:12What was that outside?
06:14The gunslinger.
06:17Showed up three weeks back.
06:19We've been prisoners ever since.
06:21See that borderline stretching around the town?
06:23Woke up one morning, there it was.
06:25Nothing gets past it in or out.
06:28No supply wagons, no reinforcements.
06:31Pretty soon the whole town's gonna starve to death.
06:34But, he let us in.
06:36You ain't carrying any food.
06:37Just three more mouths to feed.
06:39We'll all die even sooner now.
06:40What happens if someone crosses the line?
06:43Ah, well.
06:45He wasn't a very good shot then.
06:46He was aiming for the hat.
06:49He shoots people's hats.
06:51I think it was a warning shot.
06:53Ah, no.
06:54Yes.
06:54I see.
06:55Hmm.
06:56What does he want?
06:57Has he issued some kind of demand?
07:00He says he wants us to give him the alien doctor.
07:03But that's you.
07:04Why would he want to kill you?
07:05Unless he's met you.
07:06And how could he know that we'd be here?
07:08We didn't even know we'd be here.
07:11We were aiming for Mexico.
07:12The doctor was taking us to see the Day of the Dead festival.
07:15Mexico is 200 miles due south.
07:18Well, that's what happens when people get toast crumbs on the console.
07:22Anyway, I think it's about time I met him, don't you?
07:25Who?
07:26The chap outside said I could be the alien doctor.
07:29But you said I wasn't.
07:29So you already know who it is.
07:31Two alien doctors.
07:33We're like buses.
07:34Resident 81, I presume.
07:36So beloved by the townsfolk, he warranted an alteration to the side.
07:39Probably because he rigged up these electrics.
07:41And I'm guessing he's in here.
07:43Because if half the town suddenly wanted to throw me to my bed...
07:46This is where I'd want to be.
07:48I don't know what youth.
07:49All right, Isaac.
07:50I think the time for subterfuge has passed.
07:58Good afternoon.
08:00My name is Carla Jex.
08:03I'm the doctor.
08:16The Carla.
08:18I love the Carla.
08:19They're one of the most ingenious races in the galaxy.
08:22Seriously.
08:22They could build a spaceship out of Tupperware and moss.
08:26All right.
08:27How did you get here?
08:28My craft crashed about a mile or so out of town.
08:31I would have died if Isaac and the others hadn't pulled me from the wreckage.
08:35And you stayed as their doctor.
08:37On my world, I was a surgeon, so it seemed logical.
08:40And it gave me an opportunity to repay my debt to them.
08:44Listen to him.
08:45Talking like it was nothing.
08:47Tell him about the cholera.
08:49Now, Isaac, I'm sure our guests are...
08:51Two years after he arrived, there was an outbreak of cholera.
08:54Thanks to the doc here, not a single person died.
08:56A minor infection.
08:57We'd found a treatment for centuries ago.
08:59No, no, no.
08:59What do you call them?
09:01The electrics?
09:03Using my ship as a generator, I was able to rig up some rudimentary heating and lighting for the town.
09:10So why does the gunslinger want you?
09:12It don't matter.
09:13I'm just saying, if we knew that...
09:14America's the land of second chances.
09:16We call this town Mercy for a reason.
09:19Though there's some around here that don't feel that way.
09:22No, Isaac, we've discussed this.
09:24People whose lives you saved are suddenly saying we should hand you over.
09:26They're scared, that's all.
09:28You can hardly blame them.
09:30Them being scared scares me.
09:35War only ended five years back.
09:37That old violence is still under the surface.
09:40We give up Doc Jecks, then we're handing the keys to the town over to Chaos.
09:45Did you try to repair your craft?
09:48Surely someone with your skills.
09:50It really was very badly damaged.
09:55We evacuated the town.
09:56Our ship's just over the hills, room for everyone.
09:58I'll pop out, bring it back here, Robert's your uncle.
10:00Really?
10:01Simple as that.
10:02No crazy schemes, no negotiations.
10:04I've matured.
10:05I'm twelve hundred years old now.
10:06Plus I don't want to miss the archers.
10:08Oh, so you're not even a tiny bit curious.
10:10Why would I be curious?
10:11It's a mysterious space cowboy assassin.
10:13Curious?
10:14Of course I'm not curious.
10:15Son?
10:17You still gotta get past the gunslinger.
10:19How you gonna do that?
10:23With a little sleight of hand.
10:31You okay?
10:32Yeah, fine, yeah. Keep moving.
10:34What, next time?
10:35You get to wear Jecks' clothes.
10:55Can I borrow your horse, please?
10:57It's official martial business.
10:59He's called Joshua.
11:01It's from the Bible.
11:02It means the deliverer.
11:05No, he isn't.
11:06What?
11:06I speak horse.
11:07He's called Susan.
11:08And he wants you to respect his life choices.
11:32I think he's seen us.
11:34That's why.
11:42When this is all done, do you want us to take you home?
11:47But I've already given everything I have to the Kala.
11:50My skills, my energy.
11:54All that was good in me.
11:57But here, I could start afresh.
12:01I could remember myself and help people.
12:06That's all I ever wanted to do.
12:09In suffering.
12:15Here.
12:19You're a mother, aren't you?
12:21How did you know?
12:22There's kindness in your eyes.
12:25And sadness.
12:27And a ferocity, too.
12:30It wasn't exactly straightforward.
12:31It seldom is.
12:34And what about you?
12:35Are you a father?
12:38Yes.
12:39In a way, I suppose I am.
12:57So, we wait here till the doctor comes to pick us up in your ship.
13:01Yes.
13:02I know.
13:03I was there when we agreed it.
13:05Yeah.
13:06I said that more for my benefit than yours.
13:18Yeah, I know.
13:19We're in a hurry.
13:19I just want to check something out.
13:23Two ticks.
13:25There's something needling me.
13:28Yes.
13:28Yes, it could be important.
13:31Oi!
13:32Don't swear!
14:00There's nothing.
14:05There's nothing.
14:07There's nothing.
14:08Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
14:15Yes.
14:16I wear a Stetson now.
14:18Ah!
14:28Yes, good point, Susan.
14:32Where is the damage?
14:48Sorry.
14:49Oh, no, no, no, no.
14:52Oh, no, no.
15:16Oh, no.
15:18AHHHHH!
15:48That's the alarm on my ship.
15:50Maybe the doctor wants to get it working again.
15:53But that wasn't the plan.
15:56He's not following the plan.
15:58Welcome to my world.
16:09Security breach.
16:11You have ten seconds to enter the passcode,
16:14or this vehicle will self-destruct.
16:16Thank you for choosing the Brax's security software.
16:20Incinerating intruders for three centuries.
16:24Nine.
16:25Eight.
16:26Seven.
16:27Self-destruct overridden.
16:30This is an awful lot of security for a titchy spacecraft.
16:33Awaiting command.
16:35Tell me everything you can about the gunslinger.
16:37File not found.
16:39Ah.
16:39Please choose from.
16:40Technical specifications.
16:42Flight recorder.
16:43Personal files.
16:45Maps and charts.
16:46Personal files of Dr. Carla Jacks.
16:49Names of deceased subjects can be found on the drop-down menu.
17:16I'm sorry, Amy.
17:18He really should have followed the plan.
17:28Don't shoot!
17:29Don't shoot!
17:29Don't shoot!
17:31Don't shoot!
17:33I know who you are.
17:34And who Jex is too.
17:41Now, what I don't understand is why you haven't just walked into town and killed him.
17:46People will get in the way.
17:47Look, you want justice.
17:48You deserve justice.
17:49But this isn't the way.
17:50We can put him on trial.
17:51When he starts killing your people, you can use your justice.
18:00Isaac says he doesn't care about my past.
18:03But things may have been uncovered that even he might struggle to forgive.
18:07So it's best we beat a hasty retreat.
18:11We?
18:12I'm coming with you.
18:14It's unlikely the gunslinger will shoot if I'm with you.
18:16As far as I can tell, he's programmed to take innocent lives only if absolutely necessary.
18:22Oh, well, color me reassured.
18:31What are you doing?
18:35No more warning shots.
18:38I'll kill the next person to step over that line.
18:42Make sure it's Jex.
18:55It was stupid of me.
18:56I realize that now.
18:58I just thought I'd put you all in enough danger.
19:01Perhaps if I left...
19:02He's lying!
19:04Every word.
19:07Everything he says.
19:12It's all...
19:13Lies.
19:15This man is a murderer.
19:17I am a scientist.
19:19Sit down.
19:21Sit down!
19:24Tell them what you are.
19:26What am I?
19:28A war hero.
19:32Okay.
19:33Somebody want to tell me what is going on?
19:37A gunslinger is a cyborg.
19:40A what?
19:40Half man, half machine.
19:42A weapon.
19:44Jex built it.
19:45He and his team took volunteers.
19:46Told them they'd be selected for special training.
19:49Then experimented on them.
19:51Fused their bodies with weaponry.
19:53And programmed them to kill.
19:55Okay.
19:56Why?
19:58Why would you do that, Doc?
19:59We've been at war for nine years.
20:02A war that had already decimated half of our planet.
20:06Our task was to bring peace.
20:09And we did.
20:11We built an army that routed the enemy and ended the war in less than a week.
20:15Do you want me to repent?
20:17To beg forgiveness for saving millions of lives?
20:20How many died screaming on the operating table before you had found your advantage?
20:24War is another world.
20:26You cannot apply the politics of peace to what I did.
20:29To what any of us did.
20:32But what happened then? How come you're here?
20:35When the war ended, we had the cyborgs decommissioned.
20:39One of them must have got its circuitry damaged in battle.
20:42It went offline and began hunting down the team that created it until just two of us were left.
20:48We fled.
20:51And our ships crashed here.
21:04So, what did we do with Jax?
21:06What did we do with him?
21:07I mean, he's a war criminal.
21:09No, he's the guy that saved the town from cholera.
21:12The guy that gave us heat and light.
21:13Look, Jax may be a criminal and yet kind of creepy.
21:16And still in the room.
21:17But I think we should put aside what he did and find another solution.
21:19Another solution.
21:20It's him or us.
21:21Why do we start letting people get executed?
21:23Did I miss a memo?
21:24Doctor, tell him.
21:27Yes.
21:28I don't know.
21:30Whatever I miss him.
21:31Looking at you, Doctor, is like looking into a mirror.
21:35Almost.
21:37There's rage there, like me.
21:39Guilt like me.
21:41Solitude.
21:42Everything but the nerve to do what needs to be done.
21:47Thank the gods my people weren't relying on you to save them.
21:51No.
21:52No!
21:53These people are out!
21:55Out!
21:56Out!
21:57Out!
22:01Oh, you're really letting him do this.
22:03Save us all?
22:04Yeah.
22:04I really am.
22:07Move!
22:09No.
22:10Back here.
22:11No.
22:12Move!
22:22Come over!
22:23What's that?
22:24Come on!
22:25Oh!
22:28Hey!
22:29Hey!
22:36You wouldn't.
22:40I genuinely don't know.
22:42Doctor?
22:49Doctor?
22:51Let him come back, Doctor.
22:54Or what?
22:56You won't shoot me, Amy.
22:58How do you know?
22:59Maybe I've changed.
23:00I mean, you've clearly been taking stupid lessons since I saw your life.
23:04I didn't mean to do that.
23:06Everyone who isn't an American, drop your gun.
23:11We can end this right now.
23:12We could save everyone right now.
23:13This is not how we roll, and you know it.
23:15What's happened to you, Doctor?
23:16When did killing someone become an option?
23:18Jex has to answer for his crimes.
23:20And what then?
23:20Are you gonna hunt down everyone who's made a gun or a bullet or a bot?
23:23But they keep coming back.
23:24Don't you see?
23:24Every time I negotiate, I try to understand.
23:26Well, not today.
23:27No.
23:27Today, I honor the victims first.
23:29His, the masters, the Daleks, all the people who died because of my mercy!
23:35See, this is what happens when you travel alone for too long.
23:40Well, listen to me, Doctor.
23:41We can't be like him.
23:42We have to be better than him.
23:54I need a bomb.
24:01Fine, fine.
24:03We think of something else.
24:04But frankly, I'm betting on the gunslinger.
24:10Jax, move over the line.
24:13Now.
24:29Make peace with your gods.
24:32God, the tech, isn't it?
24:33I remember all your names even now.
24:37Please, I'd never hurt anyone again.
24:42I'm even helping people here.
24:44Last chance.
24:45Make peace with your gods.
24:49No!
24:52Isaac!
24:55Isaac, Isaac, Isaac, it's okay.
25:01It's okay, it's okay.
25:02We can get you to take your surgery.
25:04He can save you.
25:06Listen to me.
25:08You gotta stay.
25:11You gotta look after everyone.
25:13You won't come to that, Isaac.
25:15Protect Jax.
25:17Protect my town.
25:24You're both good, man.
25:27You just forget it sometimes.
25:32You're both good.
25:38You're all right.
25:42I'm gonna do what you say.
25:42For sure.
25:47Okay.
26:02Take jokes to a cell.
26:04If anything happens to him, you'll have me to answer to.
26:11Oh.
26:15This has gone on long enough.
26:17You are right.
26:25You've got until noon tomorrow.
26:29Give him to me.
26:32Or I'll kill you all.
26:45Oh, my God.
26:46You're the marshal.
26:47Yeah.
26:49And you're the deputy.
27:03Cyan.
27:07Marshal.
27:08Ma'am.
27:12Fella, you need to come outside.
27:14Why?
27:15What's wrong?
27:15Just come outside.
27:18And you should put that on.
27:43What's going on?
27:52He in there?
27:56Leave the keys and take a walk.
27:58By the time you get back, this will all be done.
28:00I promised Isaac I'd protect him.
28:02Protecting him got Isaac dead.
28:04Tomorrow, it's going to get us all dead.
28:06We thought Isaac was right to fight, but it's different now.
28:11We've got to say, all right, we lost, and give that thing what it wants.
28:15What it wants is to kill our friend.
28:19We don't got any ill feeling toward the doc.
28:21We just think about our families.
28:23Hand him over, and we all safe again.
28:26You know I can't do that.
28:29We got us a problem.
28:36Please don't do this.
28:38Why?
28:39Reckon you're quicker than me?
28:41Almost certainly not.
28:42But this...
28:43Lynch mobs.
28:44Town turning against itself.
28:46This is everything Isaac didn't want.
28:54How old are you?
28:56Nearly 19.
28:57That's 18, then.
28:58You're too young to have fought in the war,
29:00so I'm guessing you've never shot anyone before, have you?
29:02First time for everything.
29:04But that's how all this started.
29:06Jex turned someone into a weapon.
29:08Now that same story is going to make you a killer, too.
29:11Don't you see violence doesn't end violence?
29:14It extends it.
29:19Now I don't think you want to do this.
29:24I don't think you want to become that man.
29:30There's kids here.
29:31I know.
29:32Who I can save if you'll let me.
29:36Are you really worth the risk?
29:38Don't know.
29:41But you are.
30:07Frightened people.
30:09Give me a Dalek any day.
30:28Fresh coffee, Marshal.
30:33For what it's worth,
30:34I know you're going to save us.
30:36Isaac made you Marshal for a reason.
30:39And if you're good enough for him,
30:41you're good enough for me.
30:42Reckon you should know that.
30:56Oi, get out of it.
31:01Let me guess.
31:03The good folk of Mercy wanted me to take a little stroll into the desert.
31:08You could turn a blind eye.
31:10No one would blame you.
31:13You'd be a hero.
31:16But I can't, can I?
31:19Because then Isaac's death would mean nothing.
31:21Just another casualty in your endless bloody war.
31:25Do you want me to hand you over?
31:27Is that what you want?
31:28Do you even know?
31:30You think I'm unaffected by what I did?
31:33That I don't hear them screaming every time I close my eyes?
31:37It would be so much simpler if I was just one thing, wouldn't it?
31:41The mad scientist who made that killing machine,
31:44or the physician who's dedicated his life to serving this town.
31:49The fact that I'm both bewilders you.
31:51Oh, I know exactly what you are.
31:53And I see this reformation for what it really is.
31:57You committed an atrocity and chose this as your punishment.
32:00Don't get me wrong.
32:01Good choice.
32:02Civilized hours, lots of adulation, nice weather.
32:04But, but, justice doesn't work like that.
32:07You don't get to decide when and how your debt is paid.
32:26In my culture, we believe that when you die,
32:30your spirit has to climb a mountain,
32:32carrying the souls of everyone you wronged in your lifetime.
32:39Imagine the weight I will have to lift.
32:43The monsters I created.
32:46The people they killed.
32:48Isaac.
32:50He was my friend.
32:53Now his soul will be in my arms, too.
32:58And you see now why I fear death.
33:09You want to hand me over?
33:11There's no shame in that.
33:14But you won't.
33:17We all carry our prisons with us.
33:23Mine is my past.
33:26Yours
33:27is your morality.
33:30We all carry our prisons with us.
33:33Ha!
33:56Ah!
34:03Help me, help me.
34:54Help me, help me.
35:23Help me, help me.
35:28Help me, help me.
35:58Help me, help me.
36:05Help me, help me.
36:55Help me, help me.
37:06Help me, help me.
37:09Go, just go.
37:11I can't save them while you're here.
37:39I can't save them.
37:42I can't save them.
38:12I can't save them.
38:42Any second now, you'll see the vapour trail of his ship.
38:44This is their home, not the backdrop for your revenge.
38:47Look up, go after him.
38:48Take this battle away from...
38:49Carla Tech.
38:51Carla Tech.
38:55I can't save them.
39:13I can't save them.
39:19I can't save them.
39:22I will find you.
39:24I will find you.
39:24If I have to tear this universe apart, I will find you.
39:29I don't doubt that.
39:32You'll chase me to another planet.
39:35And another race will be caught in the crossfire.
39:38And face me.
39:41Countdown to self-destruct resumed.
39:44Face me.
39:44No.
39:46You've killed enough.
39:47I'm ending the war for you too.
39:49Countdown to self-destruct resumed.
39:52What's going on?
39:54Ten.
39:54The countdown.
39:55What's going on, Jack?
39:57I have to face the souls of those I've wronged.
40:00Six.
40:00Five.
40:01Perhaps they will be kind.
40:03Three.
40:04Two.
40:05One.
40:07Zero.
40:07One.
40:10Two.
40:20Yeah.
40:23Two.
40:29Three, two.
40:30Two.
40:30Two.
40:30One.
40:32One.
40:33One.
40:34Five.
40:34One.
40:37Two.
40:37Next.
40:51He behaved with honor at the end.
40:55Maybe more than me.
41:00We could take you back to your world.
41:04You could help with the reconstruction.
41:07I will walk into the desert and self-destruct.
41:12I'm a creature of war.
41:15I have no wrong to plagiar in peace.
41:20Except maybe to protect it.
41:29Okay, so, our next trip.
41:31Oh, you know all the monkeys and dogs they sent into space in the 50s and 60s?
41:35You will never guess what really happened to them.
41:37Um, could we leave it a while?
41:39Our friends are going to start noticing that we're aging faster than them.
41:42Another time?
41:42No worries.
41:45Oh, my God.
41:53Oh, my God.
41:56Oh, my God.
42:13By the time the gunslinger arrived, the people of Mercy were used to the strange and the impossible.
42:24Where he came from didn't matter.
42:27As a man once said, America is a land of second chances.
42:36Do I believe the story?
42:39I don't know.
42:40My great-grandmother must have been a little girl when he arrived.
42:44But next time you're in Mercy, ask someone why they don't have a marshal or sheriff or policeman there.
42:52We got our own arrangement, they'll say.
42:55Then they'll smile like they got a secret.
42:58Like they got their own special angel watching out for them.
43:03Their very own angel who fell from the stars.
43:16Every time we flew away with the Doctor, we'd just become part of his life.
43:19Come with me.
43:20He never stood still long enough to become part of ours.
43:23Except once.
43:24Haven't you seen them?
43:26The year of the slow invasion.
43:28I've recommended we treat this as a hostile incursion.
43:30There are soldiers all over my house and I'm in my pants.
43:34We have two lives.
43:36Real life and Doctor life.
43:39Our best hope now is each other.
43:42What do we do?
43:44Cheers.
43:58Cheers.
44:01Cheers.
44:05Cheers.
44:08Cheers.
44:11Cheers.
44:12Cheers.
44:12Cheers.
44:13Cheers.
44:14Cheers.
44:14Cheers.
44:15Cheers.
