A cat?[Doctor's room]
The Doctor:
Yes. I know he's got a time engine in the flat upstairs.[Tardis]

He's using innocent people to try and launch it.[Doctor's room]

Sophie. It's Sophie that's dying up there! It's Sophie![Tardis]
Amy:
Doctor! Argh![Upstairs door]
Craig:
Where's Sophie?The Doctor:
Wait, wait.[Tardis]
The Doctor [OC]:
Amy?Amy:
Are you upstairs?[Upstairs door]
The Doctor:
Just going in.Amy [OC]:
But you can't be upstairs.The Doctor:
Of course I can be upstairs.[Tardis]
Amy:
No, I've got the plans. You cannot be upstairs, it's a one-story building.[Upstairs door]
Amy [OC]:
There is no upstairs.[Timeship]
Craig:
What? What?The Doctor:
Oh. Oh, of course. The time engine isn't in the flat, the time engine is the flat. Someone's attempt to build a Tardis.Craig:
No, there's always been an upstairs.(The door they have just come through flickers on and off.)
The Doctor:
Has there? Think about it.Craig:
Yes. No. I don'tThe Doctor:
Perception filter. It's more than a disguise. It tricks your memory.(Scream.)
Craig:
Sophie! Sophie! Oh, my God, Sophie!(Sophie is being pulled towards the central console by electricity.)
Sophie:
Craig.The Doctor:
It's controlling her. It's willing her to touch the activator.Craig:
That's not going to have her.(Sophie's hand is pulled onto a dome shaped control. The Doctor uses his sonic screwdriver.)
The Doctor:
Ah, deadlock seal.Craig:
You've got to do something.(Sophie falls back.)
The Doctor:
What? Why's it let her go? So, okay.(A man suddenly appears.)
AUTOPILOT:
You will help me.The Doctor:
Right. Stop. Crashed ship, let's see. Hello, I'm Captain Troy Handsome of International Rescue. Please state the nature of your emergency.Autopilot:
The ship has crashed. The crew are dead. A pilot is required.The Doctor:
You're the emergency crash program. A hologram. What, you've been luring people up here so you can try them out?(The hologram flickers between old man, young man and girl.)
Autopilot:
You will help me. You will help me. You will help me.Sophie:
Craig, what is this? Where am I?The Doctor:
Hush. Human brains aren't strong enough, they just burn. But you're stupid, though. You just keep trying.Autopilot:
Seventeen people have been tried. Six billion four hundred thousand and twenty six remain.Sophie:
Seriously, what is going on?The Doctor:
Oh, for goodness sake. The top floor of Craig's building is in reality an alien space ship intent on slaughtering the population of this planet. Any questions? No, good.Sophie:
Yes, I have questions.Autopilot:
The correct pilot has now been found.The Doctor:
Yes, I was a bit worried that you were going to say that.[Tardis]
Amy:
He means you, Doctor, doesn't he?[Timeship]
(The Doctor is being pulled towards the console.)
Autopilot:
The correct pilot has been found. The correct pilot has been found. The correct pilot has been found.[Tardis]
Amy:
What's happening?[Timeship]
The Doctor:
It's pulling me in. I'm the new pilot.Amy [OC]:
Could you do it?[Tardis]
Amy:
Could you fly the ship safely?[Timeship]
The Doctor:
No, I'm way too much for this ship. My hand touches that panel, the planet doesn't blow up, the whole solar system does.Autopilot:
The correct pilot has been found.The Doctor:
No. Worst choice ever, I promise you. Stop this.Amy [OC]:
Doctor?[TARDIS]
Amy:
It's getting worse![Timeship]
The Doctor:
It doesn't want everyone. Craig, it didn't want you.Craig:
I spoke to him and he said I couldn't help him.The Doctor:
It didn't want Sophie before but now it does. What's changed? Argh. No. No, I gave her the idea of leaving. It's a machine that needs to leave. It wants people who want to escape. And you don't want to leave, Craig. You're Mister Sofa Man.[Tardis]
Amy:
Doctor![Timeship]
The Doctor:
Craig, you can shut down the engine. Put your hand on the panel and concentrate on why you want to stay.Sophie:
Craig, no.Craig:
Will it work?The Doctor:
Yes.Craig Are you sure?
The Doctor:
Yes.Craig:
Is that a lie?The Doctor:
Of course it's a lie.Craig:
It's good enough for me. Geronimo! Argh!(Craig puts his hand on the nearest control panel. The Doctor is released.)
Sophie:
Craig![Tardis]
Amy:
Doctor![Timeship]
(Smoke is coming off Craig's hand.)
The Doctor:
Craig, what's keeping you here? Think about everything that makes you want to stay here. Why don't you want to leave?Craig:
Sophie. I don't want to leave Sophie. I can't leave Sophie. I love Sophie.Sophie:
I love you, too, Craig, you idiot.(Sophie puts her hand on Craig's.)
[Tardis]
Amy:
Doctor![Timeship]
Craig:
Honestly, do you mean that?
