Let's Kill Hitler (TV story): Difference between revisions

In 1938 Berlin, a janitor watches a [[Nazi]] general. The scene cuts to a Star-Trek-like interior with a captain and crew. They talk about copying the general. The scene cuts to the janitor walking into the general's office. In the futuristic room a woman enters, complaining about skin tones. She takes an elevator to the eye, where the anti-bot is heard. She looks through the janitor's eye and relays color information to the control room. The janitor grows taller and becomes the Nazi general's double, then sucks the real general into him, where he is killed by the anti-bots. The Tessalecta next approaches [[Adolf Hitler]], but it is too early in his time stream.

The TARDIS crashes into the Tessalecta and its occupants stagger out in a cloud of smoke. The Doctor realises whom they have saved. Hitler tries to shoot the Tessalecta, but misses and is put in a cupboard. Hitler has shot Mels, who reveals herself to be Melody Pond and regenerates into River Song. The Tessalecta scans Melody and discovers that she will kill the Doctor.

Amy and Rory follow on a second motorbike, and the Tessalecta on a third. The Doctor climbs into the TARDIS. He asks the TARDIS voice simulator to take the form of someone he likes. The TARDIS chooses Rose Tyler, Martha Jones, and Donna Noble before settling on the young Amelia Pond. After much debate, Amelia reveals that fish fingers and custards will control the pain, but he will still die.

Melody steals all the clothes from people in a restaurant and works on her ensemble. Amy and Rory arrive outside the restaurant, pursued by the Tessalecta, now disguised as Amy. In the restaurant, Melody is trying on outfits when Amy walks in and speaks. She is actually the Tessalecta

Amy and Rory awake inside the Tessalecta, where the antibots attempt to kill them, but they are saved by one of the crew. The Doctor arrives at the restaurant in evening clothes. The [[Tessalecta]] starts to torture Melody. The Doctor begs it to stop. Melody is frozen in place. The Doctor asks the Tessalecta for information on himself and Amy persuades them to give the Doctor what he wants. It informs the Doctor that [[the Silence]] are behind the plot to kill him. When the Doctor asks what the Silence are, the Tessalecta explains that the Silence are not a species but a religious cult that believes "silence will fall" when the oldest Question in the universe is asked. It does not know what that Question is.

The Tessalecta resumes torturing Melody, until Amy turns off all of its security clearance devices, causing the antibots to attack the crew. Before the antibots can kill all of them, the crew teleports away. The dying Doctor begs Melody to save Amy and Rory, who are about be killed by the antibots. The TARDIS materializes around them. Melody has flown the TARDIS, after it taught her how. The trio run to the Doctor but he says there is no way for him to survive. Melody sacrifices her remaining regenerations to revive him, almost killing herself.

The Doctor, Amy and Rory leave Melody in the best hospital in the universe. They must let her find her own way. The Doctor claims that he downloaded some boring information from the Tessalecta. He has discovered the day of his death. River/Melody applies for a degree in Archeology at the Luna University two years before Demons Run.
