The Angels Take Manhattan (TV story): Difference between revisions

On Rory's way back, he hears the sound of children giggling, as a small statue under ''Angel of the Waters'' disappears. As Rory passes an archway and enters a darkened terrace, the giggling gets closer and closer. In the meantime, the Doctor's book says Melody saw a thin man appear on [[3 April]] [[1938]], and followed him until he noticed her. The Doctor is shocked by what the thin man says to Melody: "I was just getting coffee for the Doctor and Amy. Hello, River." "Hello, Dad," [[River Song]] replies. The Doctor and Amy run to [[the Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]], while in 1938, Rory questions River about how he got there. River tells him she has no idea, but he better put his hands up; armed men are surrounding them.

In the meantime, the Doctor and Amy have boarded the TARDIS as Amy continues reading from the book, which has River saying the TARDIS cannot land in New York during this time because of several [[time distortion]]s. Comparing it to trying to land a plane in a blizzard, she says even she couldn't do it. An annoyed Doctor attempts to land the TARDIS, but it is bounced back to [[2012]] New York by a wall of temporal energy. Landing in a cemetery, the Doctor tells Amy to stop reading ahead in the book because reading the events written in it causes them to become [[Fixed points in time|fixed in time]]. However, Amy has read that River and Rory have been taken to Grayle's mansion (406 94th Street, Manhattan), where River comments on the mob boss's taste in [[Qin dynasty|Qin]] artefacts. Hearing this, the Doctor figures out how to get "landing lights". Going back to [[BC#3rd century B.C.|221 BC]], he leaves a message on one of the [[vase]]s: "Yowzah!" (in [[Chinese language|period Chinese]]).
