However, the Doctor finds the Angels blocking the way to the church, and realises that they are trying to keep the two Marks apart. On [[5 June]] [[2001]], Mark begins to copy the letter which had told him where to intervene. In fact, it is the second copy he has made; the first was the one he had shown to the Doctor previously, which omitted the words "YOU CAN SAVE HER. Just as I did." Meanwhile, Mark's younger self discovers that a mysterious Harold Jones has been promoting his career, and attempts to track him down. He is surprised by how similar Harold is to himself, and the older Mark is worried because he does not recall this meeting taking place. He pretends to be Mark's cousin. When the younger Mark spots the letters, there are flashes of electricity and smoke. | However, the Doctor finds the Angels blocking the way to the church, and realises that they are trying to keep the two Marks apart.

The Doctor, Amy, and Rory, who have landed nearby and struggled against the [[Blinovitch Limitation Effect]], enter at that moment, as do the Weeping Angels. The Doctor, Amy, and Rory drag the two Marks outside. The older Mark comes to and tries to retrieve the letters, but they have burned. Mark despairs that history has changed, but the Doctor states that the Weeping Angels could have created the letter on [[psychic paper]] to create a trap. Mark drives away, refusing to answer the Doctor as to what else was on the list. The Doctor erases the younger Mark's memory of the incident, and he proceeds to go home to his wife. Rory recalls that Mark did not have a wife in 2011, and the three realise that she must have died and he is going to prevent that. Suddenly, another Rory appears, explaining that he had been sent back in time by an Angel from 2003. The Doctor uses his [[sonic screwdriver]] to allow the two Rorys to touch each other and gives the future Rory a [[fez]] to distinguish them. He then lands the TARDIS on the day Rebecca died. | The Doctor, Amy, and Rory, who have landed nearby and struggled against the [[Blinovitch Limitation Effect]], enter at that moment, as do the Weeping Angels.

Mark has parked his car up the road so the lorry cannot pass. The Doctor, Amy, and the Rorys arrive, and the Doctor tells Mark about the trap. The Weeping Angels are converging, and there is no way Rebecca can survive because her death is a complicated space-time event. The Doctor gives Rory instructions, but he is touched by an Angel on his way back to the TARDIS. The future Rory, however, explains that he has set up what the Doctor wanted, but two Angels are in the way of the switch. The Doctor convinces Mark that he must do something and he illuminates the Angels with his headlights, allowing them to be watched, and he presses the switch. Six big halogen lights with attached television screens and cameras switch on, and the Angels fade and are now too weak to exist outside of television screens. However, the sixth Angel has escaped. They prevent it from reaching Rebecca, but she still dies in Mark's arms. The Doctor explains that the six Angel was the one dying and chasing Mark in 2011. | Mark has parked his car up the road so the lorry cannot pass.
