As did the Doctor. /quote (The Doctor fastens two wires to the mummy case and puts his device on the floor in front of it. The tunnel activates.) DOCTOR: We've got about twenty seconds. SARAH: Here he comes. (Sutekh travels along the tunnel, but does not come out of the end.) SUTEKH: Who dares to interfere? DOCTOR: You're caught in a temporal trap, Sutekh. SUTEKH: Time Lord! I shall destroy you. I shall destroy you! DOCTOR: How long do Osirans live, Sutekh? SUTEKH: Release me! DOCTOR: Never. You're caught in the corridor of eternity. SUTEKH: Release me, insect, or I shall destroy the cosmos! DOCTOR: You're a thousand years beyond the 20th century now, Sutekh. Go on for another ten thousand. SUTEKH: I'll spare the planet Earth. I'll give it to you as a plaything. Release me! (Sutekh starts to disappear along the passage.) DOCTOR: No, Sutekh. The time of the Osirans is long past. SUTEKH: No! DOCTOR: Go. (Sutekh is gone). DOCTOR: He lived about seven thousand years. SARAH: He's dead. Sutekh is dead. DOCTOR: At last. /end quote -- “Most of the Universe is knackered, babes.” - The Doctor
