The Doctor too learns of the smuggling after finding some paperwork and confronts Hudson, who tells him that he was on his ship with a [[companion]] and promised to look after his family. | ||
''to be | The time lock breaks and the Doctor realises that the [[beacon]] that Rin gave to them is actually an activated [[temporal destabiliser]]. As the ''Vespertine'' decays, Hudson tells the Doctor, Alex and Cass to leave to save themselves and, on the way back to the surface, Cass determines that Rin must be a descendant of his second-in-command, [[Isaac Martolo]]. Rin denies knowing that Hudson was still alive and explains that she is his granddaughter; she took Isaac's surname and wanted to destroy the ship in order to escape his intimidating [[legacy]], but now she has to live with having killed him. | ||
Alex tells the Doctor that he saw him on the ship with Bliss, whom the Doctor believes must be in his future until Alex says that his [[instinct]] tells him otherwise; he believes that the person whose timeline is wrong was not Hudson but the Doctor himself, explaining why he could not remember visiting the ''Vespertine'' but somehow knew his way around. The Doctor disagrees, instead theorising that everybody's timeline but Hudson's had changed, and wonders what else he might not be remembering. | |||
