You may be looking for the Doctor Who Extra episode.

The Fisher King was a warlord who conquered Tivoli in the 21st century. He ruled the planet for ten years until it was liberated by the Arcateenians.

He apparently died and his body was transported to Earth in 1980 by the Tivolian funeral director Albar Prentis. However, he was still alive and planned for his people to recover him by turning people into ghosts transmitting coordinates to Earth and then waiting inside a stasis chamber.

The Fisher King embrances the flood waters before his death. (TV: Before the Flood)

He first shot and killed Prentis, who would become a ghost in 2119. His next victim was Alice O'Donnell, after he found her hiding in an abandoned building. He was tricked by the Twelfth Doctor into thinking the Doctor would try to circumvent a future where he appeared to die and become one of the ghosts, who blew up a dam and instead projected a hologram replica of his likeness as a ghost in the future. The Fisher King was caught in the flood and killed. (TV: Before the Flood)
