01x13 - The Last Battle

[bunniefuu]

Let's do it.

SIMON: With the Doctor called to arms
one last time,

Doctor Who Confidential gets set
for the ultimate fight.

The last great battle of the Time w*r.

The Doctor faces his final test

and there can be only one winner.

I'll do it!

Ten, nine,

eight, seven,

six, five...

Rose, get down!

Four, three,

two, one, zero!

- Get down, Rose}.
- Exterminate.

Bang!

We all know the history of the Doctor
and what happened on Gallifrey

with the Daleks and all the destruction,
that he is the last Time Lord,

and that drives him.

It's been a thing throughout the entire series,

this series, of Doctor Who,
and for the ninth Doctor.

That's been driving him,
his past has been driving him.

SIMON". Since we first met him,

this Doctor has been fighting to escape
the shadow of the Time w*r.

But despite all his attempts to bury the past,
history has come back to haunt him.

There was a w*r, but we lost.

I'm the last of the Time Lords.

I'm left travelling on my own
'cause there's no one else.

There's me.

- We'll go down fighting, yeah?
- Yeah.

I'm so glad I met you.

Me, too.

My entire planet d*ed, my whole family.

Do you think it never occurred to me
to go back and save them?

I am alone

in the universe.

You survived, too.

Not by choice.

DALEK: are you.

If I am God,

the creator of all things,

then what does that make you, Doctor?

Everything must come to dust.

If you're looking for back story,

if you're looking for a lot of reasons

why the Doctor is the way the Doctor is,

you should look at the Dalek episode.

Because I think you learn a lot there...

about how he feels about his past...

and how that informs his present.

Oh, Rose.

They're all dead.

Why do we survive?

That is the Doctor's survival guilt
coming out and that he lives with.

It's a man who now strides through the universe

wearing a tough leather jacket
saying, “Don't touch me.“

Who doesn't want a companion at first,
who's quite reluctant until he gets to like her.

Hold on a minute, you can’t just go swanning off.

Yes, I can. Here I am, this is me swanning off.
See you.

Going through episode and facing the Dalek
is a bit of therapy.

There are better ways of therapy, I'm sure,
he could have just talked about it.

But, nonetheless, he fought the Dalek.

He's a bit better after episode ,
he's let go of the past a little bit,

starts to rebuild himself, become a new man.

The Dalek survived,
maybe some of your people did, too.

I'd know, in here.

Feels like there's no one.

Well, then, good thing I'm not going anywhere.

Yeah.

It has actually been
one massive adventure, this show.

And playing Rose is...

It's a great experience because, obviously...

the things that happen in Doctor Who
are not really likely to happen in my lifetime.

This series has been as much about her
as it is about the Doctor,

and that's never happened before,
his assistants have always been exactly that.

People there who assist him,
but she's much more than that.

She pushes the narrative.

The episodes are about her sometimes
as much as they're about him

and I think that's a unique thing.

DOCTOR: She's not my wife.

- Partner?
- No.

Concubine?

Nope.

- Blimey.
- Don't laugh.

You look beautiful.

Tell you what, Tardis key.

See you later.

What are you waiting for?

I could save the world, but lose you.

I only take the best. I've got Rose.

The extraordinary thing that Rose does
in episode is to...

Is to, again, be the Doctor's equal
and to finally match him

with a gesture that is so noble and strong
and heroic and clever as well.

- What have you done?
- I looked into the Tardis.

- And the Tardis looked into me.
- You looked into the time vortex.

Rose, no one's meant to see that.

Finally, he's put in the position again
where, instead of giving your life

for Time Lords and Daleks
and great big mythological concepts

that are very much off stage, it's for Rose.

It's for that -year-old shop girl
from planet Earth

who is braver than brave
and more loyal than anyone else in the universe.

She is dying and he gives his life for her.

When he kisses her,

it's not only the thing that he's wanted to do
throughout the entire series...

but it gives him peace
because he's letting go of the burden

of the Time Lords being destroyed

and he's saving the one that he...

He loved the Time Lords, they were his people,

but he loves this girl.

Before I go, I just want to tell you,
you were fantastic.

Absolutely fantastic.

And you know what?

So was I.

SIMO N: , thanks for the ride,
Doctor number nine.

You've been a Northern star.

Don't think that's going to stop me.

Go to your room!

I think you'll find the Prime Minister
is an alien in disguise.

- That's never going to work, is it?
- No.

Leave this planet or I'll stop you.

- What, you?
- Yes, me.

Stitch this, mate.

Everyone, behind me!

I'm gonna find my friends.

And then I'm gonna find you.

Exterminate! Exterminate!

Is that it?

You are the weakest...

- Information.
- Green.

Yep, narrows it down.

- Good sense of smell.
- Narrows it down.

Do that for me, Rose. Have a fantastic life.
