Meanwhile, Martha and Tallulah use the psychic paper to gain entry into the Empire State Building. On reaching the top floor, they scan the blueprints of the top floor, looking for design and construction changes. They see a design change at the top of the building, where [[dalekanium]] has been added. The Doctor and Laszlo escape up the lift and meet with Martha, [[Frank (Daleks in Manhattan)|Frank]], and Tallulah. The Doctor climbs to the top. He uses the sonic screwdriver to loosen the bolts holding the dalekanium. However, after removing one strip of dalekanium and a bolt holding another, he drops the sonic screwdriver; all he can do is hug the pole as the lightning strikes. Martha has made a makeshift lightning rod from spare pipes to divert the lightning into the elevator, just as the pig slaves arrive, killing them. The [[Human-Dalek|Dalek-humans]] awaken, and Dalek Caan designates himself the new leader. Sec states he was to be the controller, but Dalek Caan deems him unfit and orders them to take up arms (Thompson submachine gun fitted with Dalek laser weapons). The army goes into the sewers. The Doctor, Martha, Tallulah, Frank and Laszlo head for Tallulah's theatre. | Meanwhile, Martha and Tallulah use the psychic paper to gain entry into the Empire State Building.

At the theatre, the Doctor uses the sonic screwdriver to let the Daleks know where he is. The army breaks in. Daleks Thay and Jast enter, with Sec bound in chains and crawling like a dog. The Doctor tries to tell the Daleks what they have done to Sec is wrong, because he is the most intelligent Dalek whose ever existed and rhetorically demands if Sec's condition is the foundation for their new civilisation.

They try to exterminate the Doctor. Sec, tries to reason with the other Daleks. When this fails he gets up and is hit by a blast from Thay meant for the Doctor, which kills him. This angers the Doctor, who angrily notes Thay's lack of hesitation in destroying "The only creature who might have led you out of the darkness". | ||
It is at this point that Caan, who is monitoring from the lab in the Empire State Building, notices something is wrong with the Dalek humans reaction. Back in the theatre, the Doctor again tells the Daleks to order the Dalek-humans to kill him. Thay and Jast comply but the Dalek-humans do not fire, then one of them repeatedly asks, "Why?", and says they are not Daleks. The Doctor reveals that, because he hugged the pole as the lightning came through, the lightning struck him first and some [[Time Lord]] DNA was mixed into the hybrids. This gave the Dalek-humans freedom. | It is at this point that Caan, who is monitoring from the lab in the Empire State Building, notices something is wrong with the Dalek humans reaction.

Jast promptly kills the Dalek-human who openly questioned orders. The other Dalek-humans return fire. Thay and Jast kill more Dalek-humans, but are overwhelmed and destroyed under the sheer volume of fire-power. As the Doctor tries to reassure the Dalek-human's that it's over, Caan who has been watching the whole thing via visual-link, screams that the Dalek-humans are a failure and commands, "Destruct!" All the Dalek-humans clutch their heads in pain and fall to the ground, dead, much to everyones horror. The Doctor is barely able to control his anger, as he comprehends the fact that the Dalek's created and wiped out an entire species within the span of an hour, rather than let said species live in freedom. | Jast promptly kills the Dalek-human who openly questioned orders.

For the first and only time in history, the last of the Time Lords stands face-to-face with the last of the Daleks. The Doctor confronts Caan, who wants to exterminate him and offers to help. He says that he is probably the only person in the universe that would show him any compassion, because he has seen enough death today — they are now both the last of their species. He does not want to see more genocide, and wants to end the conflict between their two species. Caan replies with "[[Emergency temporal shift]]!". As the Doctor lunges forward, the Dalek vanishes. | ||
Laszlo is on his deathbed (the pig-slaves can survive only for a few weeks). The Doctor starts to work on a solution to save him, stating, "There's been enough death today. Brand new creatures, wise old men and age old enemies!" Later, Laszlo (still a pig slave, but alive and healthy) and Tallulah are in the park. Frank tells Laszlo he talked to the residents of Hooverville. They will take him in and give him a home. As always, Hooverville is where people go when they have nowhere else. As the Doctor and Martha are about to enter [[The Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]], Martha says there's somebody for everyone. The Doctor says, "Maybe". Martha then tells the Doctor how sorry she is that Dalek Caan got away, knowing how important it was to him that he finished things with the Daleks. When asked if he thinks he'll meet Dalek Caan again, the Doctor replies that he'll [[The Stolen Earth (TV story)|be back]]... the Daleks always come back. | Laszlo is on his deathbed (the pig-slaves can survive only for a few weeks).
