Jack went to the lower levels to recruit humans to fight the oncoming army . Thanks to Rodrick , most of the people refused , believing the Daleks a myth . The Doctor built a delta wave to fry the Daleks ' brain stems and sent Rose back to 2006 , while the recruited humans mounted a defence . Using barricades and highly concentrated fire , they shot bastic bullet s at the invading Daleks . They blinded one before all humans but Jack were killed .
