The TARDIS lands in Cardiff to refuel, and the Doctor picks up a hitchhiker: Captain Jack Harkness, lately of ''Series/{{Torchwood}}'' and barely recovered from [[Recap/TorchwoodS1E13EndOfDays his encounter with Abaddon]]. Jack, stuck on TheSlowPath, has been waiting since the late 1800s for the Doctor to show up. And he's not going to let him get away twice. The hand-in-a-jar that Jack's been carrying around in ''Torchwood'' turns out to be [[Recap/DoctorWho2005CSTheChristmasInvasion the Doctor's old hand]], which Jack's been using as a "Doctor detector".
With a dramatic cry of '''"[[IncomingHam DOOOOCTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR!]]"''', Jack leaps onto the TARDIS as it's disappearing. It turns out that the TARDIS does ''not'' like Jack ever since he CameBackWrong, and rejects him, hurling through time and space in an attempt to shake him off. Jack ends up dead when the TARDIS lands on a lonely dark planet trillions of years in the future. But everyone except Martha knows that [[DeathIsCheap death is pretty temporary for Captain Jack]].
Once everyone's all caught up, the Doctor lays it out: they're at the ass-end of time, right at the heat death of the universe. The stars have all burned out. Humanity, they learn, have all congregated together in this planet's ElaborateUndergroundBase, where they've been lured by vague promises of shuttle service to Utopia.
The only one who knows anything about how to get to Utopia is kindly old Professor [[YouAreNotAlone Yana]], who is played by ''[[Creator/DerekJacobi Sir Derek fucking Jacobi]]''. If you'd told people, back when the old show was cancelled in '89, that not only would ''Series/DoctorWho'' return, but they'd get people like Sir Derek Jacobi to play the Master, well. They'd probably punch you out for taunting them or something. So, when and if you get a time machine, it's probably just as well if you don't do this.
Anyway. Sir Derek's has been stranded on this planet for a while, ever since he washed up on a beach here as a young kid. He's clever -- a genius, in fact -- and gets on tremendously well with the Doctor. As they bond over Yana's gadgets, Yana's head starts getting a bit muddled every time he looks at the Doctor. Words like "Time Lord" and "TARDIS" trigger a very nasty kind of drumming in his mind. Yana tries to ignore it and explains to the heroes what he's building: his plan is to load everyone onto these enormous rockets and send them to Utopia, but the rockets aren't actually in working order. They need someone to enter a chamber filled with deadly radiation to reset some switches. Sounds like a job for someone immortal! Jack takes off a few layers of clothing for good measure before starting. While he works away at the device, he and the Doctor catch up on things (Daleks, Rose, etc.), and the Doctor confesses that he left Jack behind on Satellite 5 on purpose. Because Jack is now his own law of nature, an anomaly, something that just should not be. Jack calls the Doctor out pretty hard on his FantasticRacism.
Meanwhile, the switches work! The evacuation starts; the rockets are boarded by the last dregs of humanity, hoping for something, ''anything'' better than a slow death in the night. Everyone congratulates each other on a job well done... and then Martha notices that Professor Yana has a pocket watch. And it looks just like [[Recap/DoctorWhoS29E8HumanNature the Doctor's watch.]] [[Recap/DoctorWhoS29E9TheFamilyOfBlood Which can be used as a receptacle for Essence of Time Lord.]]
The Doctor goes into full-on OhCrap mode and dashes back to try to stop Yana from opening the watch, but he's too late: Yana gets his memories back. He reveals himself to be a very evil bastard and gets shot by his sweet assistant Chantho. Which doesn't deter him, because he is the Master...
Who promptly regenerates into Creator/JohnSimm, steals the TARDIS and leaves our heroes stranded in the umpteen-billionth century with savages beating down the doors.

----
The TARDIS lands in Cardiff to refuel, and the Doctor picks up a hitchhiker: Captain Jack Harkness, lately of ''Series/{{Torchwood}}'' and barely recovered from [[Recap/TorchwoodS1E13EndOfDays his encounter with Abaddon]]. Jack, stuck on TheSlowPath, has been waiting since the late 1800s for the Doctor to show up. And he's not going to let him get away twice. The hand-in-a-jar that Jack's been carrying around in ''Torchwood'' turns out to be [[Recap/DoctorWho2005CSTheChristmasInvasion the Doctor's old hand]], which Jack's been using as a "Doctor detector".
With a dramatic cry of '''"[[IncomingHam DOOOOCTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR!]]"''', Jack leaps onto the TARDIS as it's disappearing. It turns out that the TARDIS does ''not'' like Jack ever since he CameBackWrong, and rejects him, hurling through time and space in an attempt to shake him off. Jack ends up dead when the TARDIS lands on a lonely dark planet trillions of years in the future. But everyone except Martha knows that [[DeathIsCheap death is pretty temporary for Captain Jack]].
Once everyone's all caught up, the Doctor lays it out: they're at the ass-end of time, right at the heat death of the universe. The stars have all burned out.
