[The Church on Ruby Road] 開場 DOCTOR [OC]: Once upon a time, late on Christmas Eve, a stranger came to the church on Ruby Road. She carried in her arms the most precious gift of all. A newborn child. A baby girl. Just before midnight, she left her daughter on the steps of the church.
DOCTOR [OC]: The child was taken in, and they named her Ruby, after the place where she was found. As for the mother, she was never seen again. No one ever knew her name, until that night a time traveller came to call. A traveller known as the Doctor.
[Space Babies] 剛抵達嬰兒農場時 DOCTOR: Oh. Oh, we're on a baby farm. Ha-ha! A parthenogenesis machine. What is it with you and babies? RUBY: I was going to say the same thing to you. DOCTOR: We've gone from baby to baby. I'm not saying things are connected, and yet... things connect.
遇見太空寶寶見不久後 RUBY: So, is this what you do, Doctor? I mean, in life? You help? That's like your... purpose? DOCTOR: No, no, I'm just, er... helping babies - space babies. Ha! Listening to my hearts. Two hearts. Plural. RUBY: Okay. Two hearts. But what if helping the babies takes six weeks? Or ten years? Because my mum's still waiting for me.
DOCTOR: Back home, on your birthday. Yeah, it's strange, your life. You were abandoned, like this lot. If things connect, then you are connecting like crazy. You don't know anything about your birth mother or your father? They didn't leave a note or a scrap of paper...? RUBY: Nothing. I was... I was just left.
DOCTOR: By the church. RUBY: In the snow. DOCTOR: On Ruby Road. (這時候博士的回憶改變了，媽媽手直接指向博士。緊接著Ruby打斷了博士的回憶，空中開始下雪) RUBY: Doctor... DOCTOR: What? RUBY: It's snowing. Okay, what just happened? I said snow, and we've got... ..snowflakes.
（博士用手接住一個雪花檢查，那個雪花在手中融化） DOCTOR: It's like a memory just came through, from the day that you were born. RUBY: But how? Is this the sort of thing that happens with time travel? DOCTOR: I have been to the ends of time and back, and I have never seen anything like this before. RUBY: Then what does it mean? DOCTOR: I don't know. (空中的雪消失）
DOCTOR: Oh, I thought my birth was crazy... RUBY: Oh, yeah. DOCTOR: Oh... I wonder who she is. Your mother. The memory changed. She was pointing at me. （博士的台詞證實他的記憶在這個時候改變了，所以應該有新的時間線出現???)
結尾 RUBY: Right, mate, let me tell you where we're gonna go. DOCTOR: Except... RUBY: Oh, terms and conditions. DOCTOR: There is one thing that I can never do, Ruby. And that's take you to that church on Ruby Road that Christmas. Absolutely never. RUBY: But you've got a time machine.
DOCTOR: If you change one thing, a single snowflake, that could change your birth mother's story and then you would never meet me, none of this would ever happen, and we would fall into the deepest, darkest paradox. Ruby, trust me. I think that snow was a warning. I can't. And I won't.
[The Devil's Chord] Maestro綁架Ruby DOCTOR: Then fight me! Ha? Leave her alone! MAESTRO: But she's the only human left with music in her heart! Playing lovesick songs for heartbroken lesbians. And that just makes me hungry for all those delicious songs. RUBY: Let me go! MAESTRO: That's right, pretty girl. Sing!
DOCTOR: Maestro. Maestro, I am asking you, just... What? MAESTRO: That's wrong. DOCTOR: What do you mean? MAESTRO: There's a hidden song deep inside her soul! What is it? (Ruby的聖誕頌歌開始播放，空中開始下雪) MAESTRO: What? DOCTOR: Ruby. MAESTRO: What is this? DOCTOR: Christmas. The music that was playing the night that she was born.
MAESTRO: How can a song have so much power? And power like him? DOCTOR: Like who? MAESTRO: The Oldest One. On the night of her birth. He can't have been there. What for? What for? What for? DOCTOR: Who was there? MAESTRO: Enough. (音樂和雪消失)
[Boom] Ruby瀕臨死亡前 AMBULANCE: Patient identified. Ruby Sunday. Calendar age, 3,082 years. Next of kin. Next of kin. Next of k... Ne-next-next-next... Next of... Next of kin. RUBY: Who... who's my next of kin? AMBULANCE: Next of kin. Next of kin. Next of kin. Next... Next of kin... (空中開始下雪）
DOCTOR: No, it's Ruby. This has happened before. AMBULANCE: Next of... Next of kin. RUBY: Just please tell me who it is. DOCTOR: It's good, it's good, it's good. The snow is good. While there's snow, there's ho... (空中的雪停住） CANTERBURY: It's stopped. How can it do that? How can it just stop?
[73 Yards] Kate來找Ruby，提到超自然現象越來越多 KATE: Well, we're the Unified Intelligence Taskforce, created to investigate the extraterrestrial and, more and more, the supernatural. Things seem to be turning that way these days.
KATE: And you can take us to the Tardis? RUBY: Yeah, it's just sitting there. I'm actually surprised no one's reported it, really. KATE: It has a perception filter. People notice it, but... sort of... sort of don't. I wonder if it's connected, if landing a perception filter on top of that circle has affected things.
RUBY: Huh. Well, maybe, 'cos she has a perception thing. KATE: Huh. RUBY: Like, no one at work has complained about the old woman stood outside every day. It's like they see her, but they don't notice her. I once positioned her right in front of a police car, and they just drove right around her.
KATE: And if you sit in a room with no windows? RUBY: No, I can't see her, but I know she's there. 73 yards. I have measured it 100 times. I've measured it a thousand times. It's 73 yards. KATE: But if you went on a plane?
RUBY: Or a boat. Yeah, no, I know. But I don't, 'cos I keep thinking, of I cut her off, I might die. Or... she might die. I don't know. Does that sound mad? KATE: It sounds wise. That's what we do, all of us. We see something inexplicable and invent the rules to make it work.
KATE: Mankind saw the sunrise and created God. Or we saw the arrival of a Sontaran, one or the other. And I can confirm, our scan says 73 yards exactly. I hope you don't mind. I didn't come alone. Don't worry, you're quite safe. No, no, that's... that's... that's great. That's fine. KATE: We've photographed her, but this is the only image we can get.
(Kate放大照片但女人的臉依舊模糊不清) RUBY: Oh, I know. I bought the most expensive camera, and I still couldn't zoom in on her face. KATE: Our equipment is a bit more sophisticated, and yet she only registers from the point of view of an average person's 20/20 eyesight from 73 yards, 219 feet... BOTH: 66.7 metres. KATE: But it proves you're not going mad.
在Kate之前有個片段 CARLA: I won't ask you again, Ruby. Please stop calling and go away. RUBY: But I'm your daughter. CARLA: Well, except you're not, are you? Even your real mother didn't want you. (Ruby抬頭透過天窗看到外面開始飄雪) --- 實在不太確定這邊究竟是不是Ruby造成的
Ruby過世前 OLD RUBY: I don't think they know. I presume she must be gone, my mother. No one ever told me. And I didn't find my birth mother. It never snowed again. But I keep thinking I know why. The woman. And I've been thinking about it my whole life. Why's she here? And I think, at the end, I have hope.
OLD RUBY: Because that's very you, isn't it? My old friend. I dare to hope. NURSE: I've set the light, Ruby. If you wake up in the night, you say "light" out loud, and it comes on. OLD RUBY: Yes, I know. That's not new. We had that when I was young. NURSE: Anything else you need? OLD RUBY: I could make it snow once upon a time.
[The Legend of Ruby Sunday] DOCTOR: So, we have Susan Triad. We also have another mystery woman. Ruby Sunday! RUBY: God, you could've warned me! ROSE: That's amazing. You look gorgeous. RUBY: Oh, that's my 16th. DOCTOR: Okay, so Ruby is not the mystery woman, but your mother is. Ruby is a foundling and was left on Ruby Road.
RUBY: Oh, yeah. We tried to find my mum, but... Actually, we even tried Davina McCall, but we got nothing. ROSE: Ah, I love Davina. KATE: I love Davina. Is she nice? RUBY: Oh, she's absolutely lovely. KATE: That's one good thing. She's so cool.
MORRIS: Sorry, sorry. You've got a woman that you keep seeing, and a woman that you've never seen. Is it the same woman? KATE: Susan Triad would've been 40, 42. And women who abandon their children tend to be teenagers or early twenties, statistically.
ROSE: Sorry, but can I say the obvious? You've got a time machine. Doctor, can't you just go back and take a look? DOCTOR: No. No, I can't. I've been to Ruby Road once, and I can't cross over my own history. The one night that we need to see, and I have time-locked myself out of it. RUBY: That's not like you. You love to break the rules.
DOCTOR: Yeah, but... it snows. KATE: It snows? RUBY: Oh, it really snows. DOCTOR: It was snowing the night that Ruby was born, and it keeps snowing all around her. Actual snow. Which means that that night is so raw and so open, the last thing that I should do is take a time machine back there.
HARRIET(Sutekh僕人): Excuse me, it all sounds a bit Dickensian, with the baby and the church and the snow, but it was 2004. There was CCTV footage. The camera was positioned in a storage yard 66m away. KATE: Does it show anything? Does the tape still exist?
RUBY: Oh, no, no, we've got it. Yeah, my gran asked for it 'cos it's mine and it's all I've got. But you can't see anything. It's black and white and snow at midnight. MORRIS: Yeah, yeah, but look at our technology. We can sharpen the image.
先插播紀錄一下RTD在幕後的解釋 Why Louise Miller wore an ancient medieval cloak to the church? No, I think that's time shrouding her. I'm going to say that. Because she had to be for the sake of the story. 簡單來說就是劇情需要zzZ
