Everyone climb down a rope ladder into the underground space. "Do we have a gravity globe?" The Doctor asked as Emma clime down in the rope, followed by Leila. "Grav globe," Octavian said. A Cleric gave a globe to The Doctor. "Where are we? What is this?" Amy asked.
"It's an Aplan Mortarium, sometimes called a Maze of the Dead," Kol said. "What's that?" Leila asked. "Well, if you happen to be a creature of living stone," The Doctor said. Then The Doctor kicked the globe into the air, where it illuminates a vast array of mausoleums and statuary. "The perfect hiding place," The Doctor said.
"I guess this makes it a bit trickier," Octavian said. "A bit, yeah," The Doctor said. "A stone Angel on the loose amongst stone statues. A lot harder than I'd prayed for," Octavian said. "A needle in a haystack," Emma said. "A needle that looks like hay. A hay-like needle of death. A hay-alike needle of death in a haystack of, um, statues. No, yours was fine," The Doctor said.
"Right. Check every single statue in this chamber. You know what you're looking for. Complete visual inspection. One question. How do we fight it?" Octavian asked. "We find it, and hope," The Doctor said. The Doctor started walking. Leila, Amy, Kol and Emma followed.
The Doctor, Leila and Amy started up the terraces. Leila stopped to rub her eye, and stone dust fall out between her fingers. She looked at her hand. Kol stopped next to her. "You all right?" Kol asked. Leila looked up at him as Amy walked back to them. "Yeah, I'm fine. So, what's a Maze of the Dead?" Leila asked.
"It's not as bad as it sounds. It's just a labyrinth with dead people buried in the walls. Okay, that was fairly bad," Kol said. Leila and Amy smiled. Emma walked up to the three. "Give me your arm. This won't hurt a bit," Emma said to Leila. She injected Leila. "Ow!" Leila said.
"Sorry," Emma said. She took Amy's arm and injected her. "Ow!" Amy said. "It's a viro-stabiliser. Stabilises your metabolism against radiation, drive burn, anything. You're going to need it when we get up to that ship," Emma said.
"So what's he like? In the future, I mean. Because you two know him in the future, don't you?" Amy asked. "The Doctor? The Doctor's the Doctor," Emma said. "He never really changes. Except for ... A few things," Kol said and he walked up ahead. "Like?" Leila asked. "Spoilers," Emma said with a smile. Leila smiled. "He trusts his wife and kids more then anyone in this world," Emma said. "Wife and kids?" Leila asked. Emma looked at Leila, she smiled and nodded.
"Sorry, what?" The Doctor asked. "Talking about you," Leila said. "I wasn't listening," The Doctor said. "Ah. The other way up," Leila said. The Doctor frowned and then noticing he was holding Kol's portable computer the wrong way. The Doctor turned the portable computer around. "Yeah," The Doctor said. Leila, Amy and Emma chuckled. Kol looked at Leila. "I saw you use it," Leila said. Kol nodded and smirked. Leila, Amy and Emma looked up at the statues.
There was a shots echoed through the chamber. The Doctor, Leila, Amy, Kol and Emma run back to the main group. A young Cleric has shot up a statue. "Sorry, sorry. I thought. I thought it looked at me," The young man said. "We know what the Angel looks like. Is that the Angel?" Octavian asked.
"No, sir," The young man said. "No, sir, it is not. According to the Doctor, we are facing an enemy of unknowable power and infinite evil, so it would be good, it would be very good, if we could all remain calm in the presence of decor," Octavian said.
"Oh leave him along. I'm sure I'd do the same," Leila said as she walked towards the two. "What's your name?" Leila asked. "Bob, ma'am," The young man replied.
"Ah, that's a great name. I love Bob," The Doctor said. "It's a Sacred Name. We all have Sacred Names. They're given to us in the service of the Church," Octavian said. "Sacred Bob. More like Scared Bob now, eh?" The Doctor asked. "Yes, sir," Bob said. "Ah, good. Scared keeps you fast. Anyone in this room who isn't scared is a moron. Carry on," The Doctor said. "We'll be moving into the maze in two minutes. You stay with Christian and Angelo. Guard the approach," Octavian said.
The Doctor, Leila, Amy, Kol and Emma walked up ahead. "Isn't there a chance this lot's just going to collapse? There's a whole ship up there," Amy said. "Incredible builders, the Aplans," Kol said. "Had dinner with their Chief Architect once. Two heads are better than one," The Doctor said. "You mean you helped him?" Leila asked.
"No, I mean he had two heads. That book, the very end, what did it say?" The Doctor asked. "Hang on," Emma said. "Read it to me," The Doctor said. Emma pulled out a book and opened it.
She read it. "'What if we had ideas that could think for themselves? What if one day our dreams no longer needed us? When these things occur and are held to be true, the time will be upon us. The time of Angels.'''
"Are we there yet? It's a hell of a climb," Amy said. "The Maze is on six levels, representing the ascent of the soul. Only two levels to go," Kol said. "Lovely species, the Aplans. We should visit them some time," The Doctor said. "I thought they were all dead?" Leila asked. "So is Virginia Woolf. I'm on her bowling team. Very relaxed, sort of cheerful. Well, that's having two heads, of course. You're never short of a snog with an extra head," The Doctor said.
"Doctor, there's something. I don't know what it is," Emma said. "Yeah, there's something wrong. Don't know what it is yet, either. Working on it. Of course, then they started having laws against self-marrying. I mean, what was that about? But that's the Church for you. Um, no offence, Bishop," The Doctor said. "Quite a lot taken, if that's all right, Doctor. Lowest point in the wreckage is only about fifty feet up from here. That way," Octavian said.
As they all walked, The Doctor, Kol and Emma looked at the statues. "Oh," The Doctor said. They all stopped. The Doctor looked at Kol and Emma, the three of them thought the same thing. "What's wrong?" Leila asked. "No way," Emma said. "Oh no," Kol said. "Exactly," The Doctor said. "How could we have not noticed that?" Emma asked. "Low level perception filter, or maybe we're thick," The Doctor said. "What's wrong, sir?" Octavian asked.
"Nobody move. Nobody move," Kol said. Everyone listened. "Everyone stay exactly where they are. Bishop, I am truly sorry. I've made a mistake and we are all in terrible danger," The Doctor said. "What danger?" Octavian asked. "The Aplans," Emma said.
"The Aplans?" Octavian asked. "They've got two heads," Emma said. "Yes, I get that. So?" Octavian asked. "So why don't the statues? Everyone, over there. Just move. Don't ask questions, don't speak," The Doctor said.
They all walked into an alcove away from the statues. "Okay, I want you all to switch off your torches," The Doctor said. "Sir?" One of the soldiers asked. "Do it," Kol said. Everyone did as they told. "Okay. I'm going to turn off this one too, just for a moment," The Doctor said. "Are you sure about this?" Emma asked. "No," The Doctor said.
The light goes out then back in an instant. The statues moved. "Oh, my God. They've moved," Amy said. The Doctor ran down the passage, and it is filled statues coming towards them. "They're Angels. All of them," The Doctor said. "But they can't be," Emma said. "Clerics, keep watching them," The Doctor said. He ran back to a vantage point of the main cavern. All the statues are climbing up towards them. Leila, Amy, Emma and Kol followed The Doctor. "Every statue in this Maze, every single one, is a Weeping Angel. They're coming after us," The Doctor said.
The Doctor, Leila, Amy, Kol and Emma got back to the group. "But there was only one Angel on the ship. Just the one," Emma said. "Could they have been here already?" Amy asked. "The Aplans. What happened? How did they die out?" The Doctor asked. "Nobody knows," Kol said. "We know," The Doctor said.
"They don't look like Angels," Octavian said. "They're not fast. You said they were fast. They should have had us by now," Leila said. The Doctor looked at one of the statues. "Look at them. They're dying, losing their form. They must have been down here for centuries, starving," The Doctor said. "Losing their image?" Leila asked. "And their image is their power. Power. Power!" The Doctor said.
"Doctor?" Leila asked. "Don't you see? All that radiation spilling out the drive burn. The crash of the Byzantium wasn't an accident, it was a rescue mission for the Angels. We're in the middle of an army, and it's waking up," The Doctor said. "We need to get out of here fast," Emma said.
"Bob, Angelo, Christian, come in, please. Any of you, come in," Octavian said in his walkie-talkie. "It's Bob, sir. Sorry, sir," Bob's voice replied. "Bob, are Angelo and Christian with you? All the statues are active. I repeat, all the statues are active," Octavian said. "I know, sir. Angelo and Christian are dead, sir. The statues killed them, sir," Bob's voice said.
The Doctor grabbed Octavian's walkie-talkie. "Bob, Sacred Bob, it's me, the Doctor," The Doctor said. "I'm talking to-" Octavian said. "Where are you now?" The Doctor asked. "I'm talking to my-" Octavian said. The Doctor hold his hand. "Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, shut up," The Doctor said to Octavian.
"I'm on my way up to you, sir. I'm homing in on your signal," Bob's voice said. "Well done, Bob. Scared keeps you fast. Told you, didn't I. Your friends, Bob. What did the Angel do to them?" The Doctor asked. "Snapped their necks, sir," Bob's voice replied. "That's odd. That's not how the Angels kill you. They displace you in time. Unless they needed the bodies for something," The Doctor said.
Octavian grabbed the walkie-talkie. "Bob, did you check their data packs for vital signs? We may be able to initiate a rescue plan," Octavian said. The Doctor grabbed the walkie-talkie again. "Don't be an idiot. The Angels don't leave you alive. Bob, keep running. But tell me, how did you escape?" The Doctor asked.
"I didn't escape, sir. The Angel killed me, too," Bob's voice said. "What do you mean, the Angel killed you?" The Doctor asked. "Snapped my neck, sir. Wasn't as painless as I expected, but it was pretty quick, so that was something," Bob's voice said. "If you're dead, how can I be talking to you?" The Doctor asked.
"You're not talking to me, sir. The Angel has no voice. It stripped my cerebral cortex from my body and re-animated a version of my consciousness to communicate with you. Sorry about the confusion," Bob's voice said.
"So when you say you're on your way up to us," The Doctor said. "It's the Angel that's coming, sir, yes," Bob's voice said. "No way out," The Doctor said. "Then we get out through the wreckage. Go! Go, go, go. All of you run," Octavian said. Everyone started running. "Doctor," Leila said. "I'm coming. Go, go, go," The Doctor said. Leila started running with the others.
The Doctor ran and saw Leila stands. "Don't wait for me. Go, run," The Doctor said and he grabbed Leila's hand. "I can't," Leila said. The Doctor looked her up. "No, really, I can't," Leila said. "Why not?" The Doctor asked. "Look at my hand. It's stone," Leila said. The Doctor looked at her eyes with his flashlight. "You looked into the eyes of an Angel, didn't you?" The Doctor asked.
"I couldn't stop myself. I tried," Leila said. "Listen to me. It's messing with your head. Your hand is not made of stone," The Doctor said. "It is. Look at it," Leila said. "It's in your mind, I promise you. You can move that hand. You can let go," The Doctor said. "I can't, okay? I've tried and I can't. It's stone," Leila said.
The Doctor's flashlight started to flicker. "The Angel is going to come and it's going to turn this light off, and then there's nothing I can do to stop it, so do it. Concentrate, Leila. Move your hand," The Doctor said. "I can't," Leila said. "Then we're both going to die," The Doctor said. "You're not going to die here," Leila said. "They'll kill the lights," The Doctor said. The flashlight started to flicker again.
"You've got to go," Leila said. "No," The Doctor said. The statues arrived. "Keep your eyes on it. Don't blink," The Doctor said. "Go!" Leila said. "I'm not going. I'm not leaving you here. You can move your hand," The Doctor said. "It's stone," Leila said. "It's not stone," The Doctor said. "You've got to go. Amy and those people up there will die without you. If you stay here with me, you'll have as good as killed them," Leila said. "Leila Pond, you are magnificent, and I'm sorry," The Doctor said.
"I understand. You've got to leave me," Leila said. "Oh, no, I'm not leaving you, never. I'm sorry about this," The Doctor said. He bite her hand. "Ow!" Leila said. "See? Not stone. Now run," The Doctor said. "You bit me," Leila said. "Yeah, and you're alive," The Doctor said as he pulled Leila behind him. "Look, I've got a mark. Look at my hand," Leila said. "Yes, and you're alive. Did I mention?" The Doctor said. The Doctor grabbed Leila's hand and they started running.
Leila and The Doctor got to the tunnel, were the group are. "So does the gravity globe," Kol said. "Clerics, we're down to four men. Expect incoming," Octavian said. "Yeah, it's the Angels. They're coming. And they're draining the power for themselves," The Doctor said. "Which means we won't be able to see them," Octavian said. "Which means we can't stay here," Kol said. "Two more incoming," One of the soldiers said. "Any suggestions?" Emma asked.
"The statues are advancing on all sides. We don't have the climbing equipment to reach the Byzantium," Octavian said. "There's no way up, no way back, no way out," Emma said. "No pressure, but this is usually when you have a really good idea," Leila said to The Doctor. "There's always a way out," The Doctor said.
All the lights flickered. "There's always a way out," The Doctor repeated. "Doctor? Can I speak to the Doctor, please?" Bob's voice asked. The Doctor pulled out the walkie-talkie. "Hello, Angels. What's your problem?" The Doctor asked. "Your power will not last much longer, and the Angels will be with you shortly. Sorry, sir," Bob's voice said. "Why are you telling me this?" The Doctor asked. "There's something the Angels are very keen you should know before the end," Bob's voice said. "Which is?" The Doctor asked. "I died in fear," Bob's voice said. "I'm sorry?" The Doctor asked.
"You told me my fear would keep me alive, but I died afraid, in pain and alone. You made me trust you, and when it mattered, you let me down," Bob's voice said. "What are they doing?" Amy whispered. "They're trying to make him angry," Emma whispered. "I'm sorry, sir. The Angels were very keen for you to know that," Bob's voice said.
"Well then, the Angels have made their second mistake because I'm not going to let that pass. I'm sorry you're dead, Bob, but I swear to whatever is left of you, they will be sorrier," The Doctor said. "But you're trapped, sir, and about to die," Bob's voice said. All the lights flickered again. "Yeah. I'm trapped. And you know what? Speaking of traps, this trap has got a great big mistake in it. A great big, whopping mistake," The Doctor said.
"What mistake, sir?" Bob's voice asked. The Doctor looked at Leila and Amy. "Trust me?" The Doctor asked. "Always," Leila said as Amy nodded. "You two trust me?" The Doctor asked Emma and Kol. "Yeah," Kol said. "Yep," Emma said. "You lot, trust me?" The Doctor asked. "Sir, two more incoming," One of the soldiers said. "We have faith, sir," Octavian said.
"Give me your gun," The Doctor said to Kol. Kol gave The Doctor his gun. "I'm about to do something incredibly stupid and dangerous. When I do, jump!" The Doctor said. "Jump where?" Octavian asked. "Just jump, high as you can. Come on, leap of faith, Bishop. On my signal," The Doctor said. "What signal?" Octavian asked. "You won't miss it," The Doctor said.
"Sorry, can I ask again? You mentioned a mistake we made," Bob's voice said. The Doctor pointed the gun at the hull of the Byzantium. "Oh, big mistake. Huge. Didn't anyone every tell you there's one thing you never put in a trap? If you're smart, if you value your continued existence, if you have any plans about seeing tomorrow, there is one thing you never, ever put in a trap," The Doctor said. "And what would that be, sir?" Bob's voice asked. "Me," The Doctor said. He shoot at the Byzantium.
