Doctor Who Season 4 Epsisode 12 The Stolen Earth

Doctor Who The Stolen Earth 12/13

At the beginning of the episode, which directly follows the episode "Turn Left", the Earth is teleported out of its spatial location shortly after the Doctor and his companion Donna Noble arrive to investigate Rose Tyler's warning. The Doctor contacts the Shadow Proclamation, a universal police force, to find Earth. They determine that twenty-seven missing planets — including Earth, Pyrovillia, Adipose III, and the Lost Moon of Poosh— reorganise when placed near each other. Donna mentions the disappearance of bees on contemporary Earth, which allows the Doctor to trace the planets to the Medusa Cascade, an interuniversal rift.

On Earth, a Dalek force, led by their creator Davros and the red Supreme Dalek, quickly subjugate Earth. Numerous military bases, including UNIT's headquarters in New York City and the aircraft carrier Valiant, are destroyed. Davros, who was thought to have perished at the beginning of the Time War, was saved by Dalek Caan, who randomly entered the conflict after performing an emergency temporal shift.Because of the power needed to enter the Time War and save Davros, Caan became precognitive and insane.

The Doctor's former companions Sarah Jane Smith, Captain Jack Harkness, Martha Jones and Rose Tyler, who have all encountered the Daleks before, hide in various places: Jack takes refuge in Torchwood with his team Ianto Jones and Gwen Cooper ;Sarah stays in her home with her son Luke Smith and supercomputer Mr Smith; Martha uses Project Indigo, an experimental teleport device scavenged from the Sontarans, to escape UNIT with the "Osterhagen Key", a device designed to be used as a last resort; and Rose tracks down Donna's mother Sylvia Noble and grandfather Wilfred Mott.

They are contacted by former Prime Minister Harriet Jones through a secret "sub-wave network" designed by Mr Copper, an extraterrestrial human who previously encountered the Doctor,to contact the Doctor's companions in a dire situation. They attempt to contact the Doctor by amplifying their mobile phone signals using Mr Smith and the spatio-temporal rift in Cardiff. The Doctor and the Daleks receive the transmission and trace the signal. Harriet Jones is ostensibly exterminated, but the Doctor is able to locate Earth in a temporally desynchronised pocket universe.

At the end of the episode, the Doctor travels into the pocket universe and receives the sub-wave signal. After Davros hijacks the signal, the Doctor breaks communication and attempts to convene with his companions. The TARDIS lands on a street where Rose is waiting for the Doctor. He runs to embrace her, but is hit by a Dalek extermination ray. Rose, Jack, and Donna help the Doctor into the TARDIS, where the Doctor begins to regenerate.
