   >>>> Angel grab River by the wrist while he interrogates her. River is able to

   >>>> River wrote the book to help them, uses it to look for Rory. River breaks   
   >>>> her wrist to free herself. Amy finds the cellar empty and the Doctor   
   >>>> locates Rory at an apartment building nearby.   
   >>>>   
   >>>> Rory enters an apartment with an elderly version of himself in bed, who   
   >>>> dies without having seen Amy for many years. The Doctor deduces that the   
   >>>> Weeping Angels have been using the building as a battery farm, sending the   
   >>>> victims to their past while feeding off their time energy. Rory and Amy   
   >>>> refuse to accept their fate and flee to the roof. Amy and Rory jump off   
   the   
   >>>> roof, creating a paradox that destroys the building and the Weeping   
   Angels.

   >>>> The Doctor, River, Amy and Rory find themselves near the TARDIS in a   
   >>>> graveyard in 2012. Rory catches sight of a gravestone with his name on it.   
   >>>> He is then sent into the past by a Weeping Angel who had survived the   
   >>>> paradox. The Doctor is unable to go back to get him, due to the paradox.   
   >>>> Despite the Doctor urging her not to do so, Amy allows herself to be   
   >>>> touched by the Weeping Angel in the hope of being with Rory. Her name then
