At Downing Street Lucy Saxon is speaking to Tish when a woman named [[Vivien Rook]] arrives from the Sunday Mirror saying she is here to interview Lucy about being the Prime Minister's wife and asks Tish to leave. After Tish leaves, Rook tells Lucy that she knows the truth about Saxon. She says he only appeared since the fall of [[Harriet Jones]] and that he made his past life up. Lucy refuses to believe this as Saxon[[File:29j.jpg|thumb|The crew in hiding]] walks in and he produces [[Toclafane|four robotic balls]] the size of footballs. He tells one to kill Vivien as he and Lucy leave. | At Downing Street Lucy Saxon is speaking to Tish when a woman named [[Vivien Rook]] arrives from the Sunday Mirror saying she is here to interview Lucy about being the Prime Minister's wife and asks Tish to leave.

He tells one to kill Vivien as he and Lucy leave. Lucy angrily remarks that Harry told her that "Archangel" was 100 percent; the Master demures, admitting it was more like 98-99 percent.

Meanwhile, at Martha's flat, the TARDIS crew watch a political broadcast by Saxon about first contract with an alien race called the [[Toclafane]] and that he and his wife will be meeting them. He claims that "we will take our place in the universe. Every man, woman, and child. Every teacher and chemist and lorry driver and farmer. I don't know--every ''medical student?''"

Martha, the Doctor and Jack get into a car and phone [[Francine Jones|Martha's mum]]. Francine asks her to come to her house, claiming she has plans of getting back together with [[Clive Jones|Clive]]. Francine hands the phone to Clive.

However, Miss Dexter, a government official loyal to Saxon, is listening to the conversation and tells the police to arrest the entire Jones family. Martha phones Tish at Downing Street, just as Tish is dragged away by guards. Martha, the Doctor, and Jack arrive at Francine's house but are forced to drive away as the police start firing at her car. | Meanwhile, at Martha's flat, the TARDIS crew watch a political broadcast by Saxon about first contract with an alien race called the [[Toclafane]] and that he and his wife will be meeting them.

As Martha warns her brother to hide, Saxon interrupts the phone call. The Doctor takes the phone and tells [[the Master]] how the Time War ended. The Master says that the [[Time Lord]]s resurrected him as the perfect warrior to fight in the War, but he ran away in fear, explaining that he used a [[Chameleon Arch]] to turn him into a [[human]], as the[[File:36.jpg|thumb|left|The Paradox Machine]] Doctor did in [[Human Nature (TV story)|Human Nature]]. He informs the Doctor that he, Martha, and Jack have now been deemed terrorists and that [[Torchwood 3|Jack's friends]] have been sent on a wild goose-chase in the Himalayas. Whilst The Doctor stands with his back against a shop window the television inside shows the BBC News, it shows the faces of Saxon's cabinet ministers and then that of the Doctor, Jack and Martha - implying that they have been framed for the murder of the cabinet ministers. Realising that the Master has control of everything and they have no way to stop him, the trio run. | ||
One of the Toclafane appears before the Master asking if "the machine" is ready. The Master informs it that it will reach a critical mass at 8:02 AM: two minutes after the "first contact." The Toclafane reminds him of the darkness that is coming which the Toclafane must run from, but | One of the Toclafane appears before the Master asking if "the machine" is ready.

Some are inspired; some run away and some are driven mad. The Doctor ran and never stopped, but believes the latter happened to the Master. Jack receives a posthumous message from [[Vivien Rook]] to [[Torchwood Three]] about the [[Archangel Network]]. The Doctor is initially disgusted about Jack's involvement with Torchwood after [[Doomsday|everything Torchwood did]], but Jack insists the old Torchwood was destroyed at [[Battle of Canary Wharf|Canary Wharf]], and under his command, the new Torchwood no longer perceives the Doctor as a threat. The Doctor discovers that the Master has been hypnotizing people to vote for him, which also kept the Doctor from detecting him. The Doctor produces three keys equipped with [[perception filter]]s allowing himself, Martha, and Jack to be seen, but not detected, if they put them on. | ||
The [[President Winters|American President]] arrives in [[Air Force One]] in London. He tells Saxon that [[UNIT]] has Control over the operation, citing a United Nations protocol. Winters insists on moving first contact to the neutral ground of the UNIT aircraft carrier [[Valiant]] and conducting the meeting with the Toclafane for himself. The Master brings along [[Francine Jones|Francine]], [[Tish Jones|Tish]] and [[Clive Jones|Clive]], and the Doctor and friends follow using Jack's [[vortex manipulator]]. On board, they find the [[TARDIS]], its [[cloister bell]] ringing, and the interior glowing an ominous red. It had been changed by [[the Master]] into a [[paradox machine]], set to go off at 8:02 AM. The trio head for the room in which the first contact is being held. The Doctor has a plan: if he manages to put the TARDIS key around the Master's neck, then everyone will see the Master for who he truly is. | The [[President Winters|American President]] arrives in [[Air Force One]] in London.
