Madame Vastra is told by an imprisoned murderer that the Doctor's secret will be taken to his grave. She uses a soporific to bring herself, Jenny and Strax to a conference call in their dreams; she sends a letter to Clara to include her. River Song attends, and explains Vastra misunderstood the message; it is his grave that has been discovered. The Whispermen kidnap Vastra's group, while Clara awakens and informs the Doctor, making him realise the prophecy the Silence predicted is unfolding. At Trenzalore, the Doctor's resting place is a dying, monolithic TARDIS. Inside, the Great Intelligence waits for them; it demands the Doctor speak his true name to unlock the TARDIS. When the Doctor refuses, River speaks it instead. The Doctor explains that the TARDIS houses his entire timeline. The Great Intelligence steps into it and scatters itself throughout the Doctor's life, to rewrite all his victories into defeats. Clara follows after it, becoming two of the echoes of herself that the Doctor met. The Doctor enters his own timeline to rescue Clara, after she discovers a previously unseen incarnation of the Doctor that apparently broke the promise that goes alongside the title The Doctor.
INT. WORKSHOP Two men are hunched over counters, working on different projects. An alarm goes off causing both men to look up. One walks over to a monitor. MAN: Something wrong? MAN 2: It's the repair shop. What kind of idiot would try and steal a faulty TARDIS? On the monitor we see a row of plain grey cylinders, tall enough for a man. We then zoom out through a long tunnel or vent. EXT. CITY We see a familiar domed city. It is Gallifrey a very long time ago... INT. WORKSHOP Back on the monitor we see an older man escort a young girl towards one of the cylinders. It is the DOCTOR in his first incarnation. INT. REPAIR SHOP The DOCTOR looks around nervously. CLARA: (O.C.) Doctor? THE DOCTOR: (sees CLARA) Yes, what is it? What do you want? CLARA: Sorry. But you're about to make a very big mistake. [SCENE_BREAK] CLARA opens her eyes and flames are reflected in them. She is falling downwards surrounded by fire. CLARA: (V.O.) I don't know where I am. It's like I'm breaking into a million pieces. And there's only one thing I remember. INT. CORRIDOR CLARA suddenly finds herself standing in a futuristic hallway wearing 70s style clothes. CLARA: (V.O.) I have to save the Doctor. The Sixth DOCTOR walks across a corridor behind her. CLARA turns but he is already gone. CLARA: (V.O.) He always looks different. She runs to the other corridor to see the Fourth DOCTOR walking away. CLARA: Doctor! (V.O.)..but I always know it's him. [SCENE_BREAK] CLARA continues to fall. INT. CORRIDOR CLARA runs down another corridor wearing 80s clothes. CLARA: (V.O.) Sometimes I think I'm everywhere at once. (runs to a door and presses against a window) Running every second, just to find him. She looks through the window to see the Seventh DOCTOR hanging from a ledge by his umbrella ["Dragonfire"] CLARA: Doctor! (pounds on door) CLARA: (V.O.) Just to save him. (she whirls around) EXT. COUNTRYSIDE, DAY CLARA, in 70s clothes, turns around as the Third DOCTOR in Bessie speeds past. CLARA: (cups her hands and yells) Doctor! EXT. CALIFORNIA, BEACH, DAY CLARA is still in her 70s clothes as the Eighth DOCTOR brushes past her. She turns to look and the Second DOCTOR in his fur coat rushes by her from the other direction. She runs after him and falls... [SCENE_BREAK] ...only to land - in 80s clothes - on a clear platform looking down on the Fifth DOCTOR as he floats in the Matrix ["Arc of Infinity"]. CLARA: Doctor? EXT. LONDON 1892, STREET, NIGHT CLARA follows the Eleventh DOCTOR. ["The Snowmen"] CLARA: (V.O.) But he never hears me. (on-screen) Oi! The DOCTOR stops and turns. CLARA: (V.O.) Almost never. [SCENE_BREAK] CLARA continues to fall. CLARA: (V.O.) I blew into this world on a leaf. EXT. STREET, DAY A MAN walks along the sidewalk, looking around to get his bearings. A leaf blows loose from a tree and covers his face, causing him to stagger into the road in front of an oncoming car. He pulls the leaf from his face and turns around to see the car and he freezes. CLARA: (V.O.) I'm still blowing. EXT. STREET, NIGHT The couple kisses. INT. NURSERY, DAY The MAN sits in a chair, holding their sleeping baby girl. CLARA: (V.O.) I don't think I'll ever land. [SCENE_BREAK] CLARA continues to fall. CLARA: (V.O.) I'm Clara Oswald, I'm the impossible girl, I was born to save The Doctor. [SCENE_BREAK] Matt Smith Jenna-Louise Coleman "The Name of the Doctor" By Steven Moffat PRODUCER Denise Paul DIRECTOR Saul Metzstein [SCENE_BREAK] EXT. LONDON 1893, NIGHT We pan over the rooftops and smoking chimneys. MAN: (V.O.) Do you hear the Whisper Men? The Whisper Men are near. INT. PRISON, CORRIDOR, NIGHT Two guards walk down the brick corridor carrying lamps. We hear water dripping from the ceiling and walls. MAN: (V.O.) If you hear the Whisper Men then turn away your ear. INT. PRISON, CELL, NIGHT A MAN squats on the floor and rocks slightly. His wrists are cuffed by long chains. MAN: Do not hear the Whisper Men / Whatever else you do / For once you've heard the Whisper Men / They'll stop and look at you. He realizes someone is standing outside his cell at the bars and turns around. MAN: (points) One word from you could save me from the rope. The figure is a veiled VASTRA. VASTRA: Then you may rely on my silence. MAN: I have information. Valuable information. VASTRA: Are you bargaining for your life? You have the blood of 14 women on your hands. There are no words you can speak that will save your neck. MAN: The Doctor. Startled, VASTRA walks closer to the bars. MAN: Oh, yes, I know all about him. Your dangerous friend. VASTRA: How? MAN: In the babble of the world, there are whispers - if you know how to listen. (walks to the bars) The Doctor has a secret, you know. VASTRA: He has many. MAN: He has one he will take to the grave. (grabs the bars and peers through) And it is discovered. Well? INT. VASTRA'S HOME, FOYER, NIGHT JENNY takes VASTRA'S cane. JENNY: We can't let that terrible man live. VASTRA: (pushes back veil) He lives till I understand what he told me. We're going to need a conference call. (hands JENNY her coat) I'll send out the invitations, you fetch the candles. JENNY: Yes, ma'am! VASTRA goes to prepare as JENNY hangs the coat in the hall. She pauses and looks towards the window where a figure has paused. VASTRA comes in front of her, blocking the view. VASTRA: Where's Strax got to? JENNY: The usual - it's his weekend off. VASTRA: I wish he had never discovered that place! EXT. GLASGOW, NIGHT A setting shot of the city skyline. STRAX: (V.O.) Sontar-ha! Sontar-ha! INT. HOUSE, NIGHT STRAX tackles a large MAN and both fall through a glass door. They both stand quickly. The MAN holds a large hammer. MAN: Come here while I kill you, you filthy wee midden! STRAX: (wields a shovel) Prepare to die in agony for the glory of the Sontaran empire! Both roar in preparation for attack. BOY: (O.C.) Excuse me - Mr Strax? Both lower their weapons and look at the BOY. STRAX: What is it, girl? Can't you see I'm trying to crush the brains of this stinking primitive? (looks at MAN) Sorry about this. MAN: No problem. BOY: It's a telegram, sir. (holds out paper) Very urgent! STRAX: (takes telegram and reads) Conference call! (hands telegram to BOY who leaves) Sorry, Archie. I'm going to have to ask you to render me unconscious. ARCHIE: Fine. (hefts hammer) STRAX: Better use this. (hands ARCHIE the shovel) It might take a while. ARCHIE hits him on the head with the shovel, knocking him out. INT. VASTRA'S HOME, PARLOR, NIGHT VASTRA sits at a multi-sided table as JENNY lights a candle positioned in the center. JENNY sits next to VASTRA as she blows out the taper. VASTRA: (puts her hand on JENNY'S) Sleep well, my love. JENNY: You too. As they drift off, there is a ghostly whispering. At the window, we see a figure clad in black with a white face. INT. DREAMSCAPE, PARLOR The general setting is the same but things are a bit more out of focus. The walls have a moving pattern like a cross between a lava lamp and a kaleidoscope. JENNY: Oh, I like the new desktop. VASTRA: I was getting a little bored of the Taj Mahal. (a tea tray appears on the table and she pours) The tea should be superb, it's drawn from one of my favourite memories. There is a loud thud. VASTRA doesn't look up from pouring. VASTRA: Strax! Good of you to join us. STRAX: It better be important! I was in the middle of destroying some very pleasant primitives. VASTRA: I apologise for the interruption, but there is urgent news concerning the Doctor. STRAX: Who else is coming? VASTRA: The women. INT. MAITLAND HOUSE, KITCHEN, DAY CLARA opens a cabinet and takes out a bag of flour. She turns to put it on a counter as she holds a mixing bowl in her other hand. ANGIE and ARTIE are doing homework at the table. ANGIE: Oh, no. You're going to try and make a soufflé again, aren't you? CLARA: (whisks batter) My mum's soufflé, yeah. This time I'll get it right. This time I will be Soufflé Girl! ARTIE: How can it be your Mum's soufflé, if you're making it? CLARA: Because, Artie, like my mum always said - the soufflé isn't the soufflé, the soufflé is the recipe! ANGIE: Was your mum deep on puddings? CLARA: She was a great woman. (sees a letter addressed to her) What's this? ANGIE: Oh, it arrived today - for you. CLARA turns the envelope over to see it's sealed with wax and bears the note "Open When Alone" on the back. INT. MAITLAND HOUSE, CLARA'S ROOM, DAY CLARA walks around the room as she reads the letter. VASTRA: (V.O.) "My dearest Clara... The Doctor entrusted me with your contact details, in the event of an emergency, and I fear one has now arisen. Assuming this letter will have reached you, as planned, on April 10th 2013, please find and light the enclosed candle. CLARA reaches into the envelope and pulls out a small candle. VASTRA: (V.O.) It will release a soporific which will induce a trance state, enabling direct communication across the years. CLARA drops the candle. VASTRA: However, as I realise you have no reason to trust this letter, I have taken the liberty of embedding the same soporific into the fabric of the paper you are now holding. Speak soon!" CLARA falls unconscious. INT. DREAMSCAPE, PARLOR CLARA appears in one of the chairs. VASTRA: So glad you could make it. (passes CLARA a cup of tea) CLARA: (takes tea) Where am I? JENNY: Exactly where you were - but sleeping. VASTRA: Time travel has always been possible in dreams. We are awaiting only one more participant. (sips tea) STRAX: Oh, no - not the one with the gigantic head? JENNY: It's hair, Strax. STRAX: Hair! RIVER appears in her chair with a puff of smoke like a magician. RIVER: Madame Vastra! VASTRA: Professor! Help yourself to some tea. RIVER: Why, thank you. (holds up a flute of champagne) JENNY: How did you do that? RIVER: Disgracefully. (sips champagne and looks at CLARA) VASTRA: Ah. Perhaps you two haven't met. This is the Doctor's companion. CLARA and RIVER look at VASTRA. VASTRA: That is, his current...travelling... assistant. CLARA: Assistant? STRAX: (to VASTRA) Have you gone a darker green? VASTRA: Clara Oswald. RIVER: Professor River Song. The Doctor might have mentioned me. CLARA: Oh, yeah, of course he has. Professor Song. Sorry, it's just I never realized you were a woman. RIVER faces changes barely imperceptibly. She's hurt and surprised that the DOCTOR hasn't mentioned her more than in passing. STRAX: Well, neither did I! VASTRA: Perhaps we should get down to the business at hand. JENNY: That might be good, dear, yes. VASTRA touches the air above the center of the table and a projection appears. INT. PRISON, CELL, NIGHT The MAN VASTRA had visited earlier sits on the end of his bunk, rocking back and forth. VASTRA: (V.O.) Clarence DeMarco. Murderer, under sentence of death. He offered us this... INT. DREAMSCAPE, PARLOR VASTRA: ...in exchange for his life. VASTRA waves her hand through the projection and it changes. RIVER: Space time coordinates. INT. VASTRA'S HOME, FOYER, NIGHT An exterior door opens into the house. The key is still in the lock. INT. DREAMSCAPE, PARLOR VASTRA: This, Mr DeMarco claims, is the location of the Doctor's greatest secret. CLARA: Which is? JENNY: We don't know. It's a secret! VASTRA: The Doctor does not discuss his secrets with anyone, my dear. If you're still entertaining the idea that you are an exception to this rule, ask yourself one question. What is his name? INT. VASTRA'S HOME, PARLOR, NIGHT There is ghostly whispering as a figure walks past an unconscious JENNY. INT. DREAMSCAPE, PARLOR JENNY puts a hand up to her cheek, puzzled. She turns her head as if expecting to see something. RIVER: Well, I know it. CLARA: (looks at RIVER) What, you know his name? He told you? RIVER: I made him. CLARA: How? RIVER: It took a while. CLARA: So you're a... friend of his, then? RIVER: A little more than a friend - a long time ago. VASTRA: He's still never contacted you? RIVER: He doesn't like endings. INT. VASTRA'S HOME, PARLOR, NIGHT A figure bends over and whispers over a sleeping JENNY. INT. DREAMSCAPE, PARLOR JENNY shivers. RIVER: So what else did this DeMarco tell you? He didn't buy his life with some co-ordinates - how did he prove their value? VASTRA: One word, only. RIVER: What word? VASTRA: One I'd heard in connection with the Doctor before. Trenzalore. RIVER: How exactly did he describe what he was giving you? VASTRA changes the projection so it shows DeMARCO'S face. Everyone watches. DeMARCO: 'The Doctor has a secret, you know. He has one he will take to the grave. And it is discovered.' RIVER: You misunderstood. JENNY: Ma'am, I'm sorry - I just realised, I forgot to lock the doors. VASTRA: It doesn't matter Jenny. (to RIVER) What misunderstanding, tell me? JENNY: No, ma'am, please. I should've locked up before we went into the trance. VASTRA: It doesn't matter! VASTRA turns to look at JENNY who appears scared. JENNY: Someone's broken in. Someone's with us - I can hear them. INT. VASTRA'S HOME, PARLOR, NIGHT A white face leans in towards JENNY, its mouth opened wide showing pointed teeth. INT. DREAMSCAPE, PARLOR VASTRA: Jenny, are you all right? JENNY: (scared) Sorry, ma'am, so sorry, so sorry, so sorry... I think I've been murdered. (a tear falls from her eye) INT. VASTRA'S HOME, PARLOR, NIGHT JENNY lies on the floor on her back, three figures stand around her. INT. DREAMSCAPE, PARLOR JENNY starts to fade. VASTRA: Jenny! CLARA: What's happened to her? VASTRA: Jenny, can you hear me? STRAX: Speak to us, boy! VASTRA: Jenny! JENNY disappears. RIVER: You're under attack. You must wake up now, just wake up, (stands and slaps VASTRA) do it! INT. VASTRA'S HOME, PARLOR, NIGHT VASTRA wakes and stands, seeing the creatures standing over JENNY. VASTRA: Who are you? What have you done to her? The creatures turn on VASTRA and hiss. INT. DREAMSCAPE, PARLOR RIVER: You too, Strax, wake up now! (throws champagne at him) INT. HOUSE, NIGHT STRAX wakes up on the floor. He sits up and more of the creatures surround him. INT. DREAMSCAPE, PARLOR The creatures are the Whisper Men and invade the dreamscape to surround CLARA and RIVER. WHISPER MEN: Tell the Doctor. Tell the Doctor. Tell the Doctor. CLARA: Tell him what? The projection over the table reforms to show the face of Dr SIMEON, the host of the GREAT INTELLIGENCE. INTELLIGENCE: His friends are lost for evermore Unless he goes to Trenzalore. RIVER: No! You can't say that. He can't go there, you know he can't! CLARA hears the DOCTOR'S voice. THE DOCTOR: (O.C.) Angie? Artie? RIVER: The Doctor can never go to Trenzalore! INT. MAITLAND HOUSE, CLARA'S ROOM, DAY CLARA wakes up on the floor of her room. THE DOCTOR: (V.O.) Am I getting warm? Angie? Artie? Am I getting warm? CLARA sits up. INT. MAITLAND HOUSE, BACK HALL, DAY The DOCTOR sticks his hand in front of him. We then see he is blindfolded as he calls for the children. THE DOCTOR: Am I getting warm? Look, I'm pretty sure you have to tell me if I'm getting warm. I'm-I'm-I'm pretty sure that's in the rules. CLARA comes down the stairs. CLARA: Doctor? THE DOCTOR: Ha, Clara! How are you, don't worry. Everything's under control. CLARA: What are you doing? THE DOCTOR: Oh, um, Mr Maitland went next door, so I said I'd look after the kids. They wanted to go to the cinema, but I said no, I said no - not until you wake up, I was very firm. CLARA: At which point, they suggested Blind Man's Bluff. THE DOCTOR: Yes. Where are they? CLARA steps down and removes the blindfold. CLARA: At the cinema. THE DOCTOR: The little...Daleks! (looks at CLARA) What's wrong? INT. MAITLAND HOUSE, KITCHEN, DAY CLARA is pouring tea into cups at the kitchen table. CLARA: So who was she? The lady with the funny name and the space hair. She looks over at the DOCTOR who is in the parlor. INT. MAITLAND HOUSE, PARLOR, DAY The DOCTOR is sitting on the sofa looking straight ahead. THE DOCTOR: An old... friend of mine. CLARA: What, like an ex? THE DOCTOR: Yes. An ex. River asked Vastra for the exact words - what were they? CLARA: (walks into the parlor with the tea) "The Doctor has a secret he will take to the grave. It is discovered." CLARA comes to stand in front of the DOCTOR and sees the sadness in his eyes, that he is on the verge of tears. CLARA: Doctor? THE DOCTOR: Sorry. (breaking) And it was Trenzalore? Definitely Trenzalore? CLARA: Yeah. THE DOCTOR: (puts hands over eyes and sighs) Oh, dear... Sorry. The DOCTOR sniffs, gets up and leaves the house. CLARA hurries after him. INT. TARDIS The DOCTOR is sitting on the storage "units" underneath the console. CLARA slowly walks down the steps, her arms crossed. CLARA: Well? THE DOCTOR: Trenzalore. I've heard the name, of course. Dorium mentioned it, a few others. (stands and uses the sonic on some of the overhead wiring) Always suspected what it was, never wanted to find out myself. (puts away sonic) River would know, though - (pulls down a cable) River always knew. Right, come here, give me your hand. (CLARA comes over ) Now. The coordinates you saw will still be in your memory. I'm linking you into the TARDIS telepathic circuit, won't hurt a bit. (jabs the cable into her palm) CLARA: Ow! THE DOCTOR: I lied. CLARA: OK. What is Trenzalore? Is it your big secret? THE DOCTOR: No. CLARA: OK, what then? THE DOCTOR: When you are a time traveller, there is one place you must never go. One place in all of space and time you must never, ever find yourself. CLARA: Where? THE DOCTOR: You didn't listen, did you? You lot never do, that's the problem! "The Doctor has a secret he will take to the grave. It is discovered." He wasn't talking about my secret, no, no, no, that's not what's been found. He was talking about my...grave. Trenzalore is where I'm buried. (walks up the steps) CLARA: How can you have a grave? THE DOCTOR: (strides to console) Because we all do - somewhere out there in the future, waiting for us. The trouble with time travel, you can actually end up visiting... CLARA: But you're not going to. You just said it's the one place you must never go. THE DOCTOR: I have to save Vastra and Strax. Jenny too, if it's still possible. They cared for me during the dark times - never questioned me, never judged me, they were just... kind. I owe them. I have a duty. No point in telling you this is too dangerous. CLARA: None at all. How can we save them? THE DOCTOR: Apparently... by breaking into my own tomb! (throws a lever) EXT. MAITLAND HOUSE, DAY The TARDIS dematerializes. INT. TARDIS The TARDIS shudders and jerks, throwing the DOCTOR and CLARA off-balance. CLARA: (grips console) What's that? THE DOCTOR: She just figured out where we're going. (tries to keep control of the TARDIS) She's against it. I'm about to cross my own time line in the biggest way possible - the TARDIS doesn't like it. SPACE The TARDIS hurtles away from Earth. INT. TARDIS The DOCTOR fights the controls, pushing hard against them to move. CLARA holds tightly to the console. THE DOCTOR: She's fighting it! Hang on! Hang on! Sparks fly from around the console as the TARDIS continues to resist the DOCTOR. One blast hurtles them against the rails. They look up to find themselves in the dark, the only light coming from the sparks. CLARA: Now what? THE DOCTOR: She doesn't want to land. She's shut down. (gets up and goes to console) CLARA: So we're not there. THE DOCTOR: (smacks a lever in frustration) We must be close. (goes over to the main door and opens it) OK. So that's where I end up. CLARA comes over and looks down as well. Below them is a planet covered in ash, fire and smoke. THE DOCTOR: Always thought maybe I'd retire. Take up watercolours, or bee-keeping, or something. Apparently not. CLARA: So. How do we get down there? Jump? THE DOCTOR: Don't be silly! We fall. (closes door) She's turned off practically everything, except the anti-gravs. Guess what I'm turning off? (uses sonic on the console) SPACE CLARA shrieks as the TARDIS plummets towards the planet below. EXT. TRENZALORE, CEMETARY, NIGHT The TARDIS crash lands. The DOCTOR opens the door and looks up at a pane of glass that is broken. He presses a finger to the hole. THE DOCTOR: Oops! The DOCTOR looks around before stepping out fully. The graveyard is packed tight with gravestones of various sizes and shapes. Above, lightning flashes and thunder rumbles. CLARA joins him. CLARA: You OK? Visiting your own grave - anyone would be scared. THE DOCTOR: It's more than that. I'm a time traveller. I've probably time-travelled more than anyone else. CLARA: Meaning? THE DOCTOR: Meaning... my grave is potentially the most dangerous place in the universe. Shall we? CLARA: (closes TARDIS door) Gravestones are a bit basic. The DOCTOR and CLARA walk past the graves. THE DOCTOR: It's a battlefield graveyard, my final battle. CLARA: Why are some of them bigger? THE DOCTOR: They're soldiers, the bigger the gravestone, the higher the rank. They look ahead at something, awe and shock on their faces. They look at each other and then ahead again. Mounted high on a hill is a giant TARDIS. CLARA: Well. Bright side - it's a helluva monument. THE DOCTOR: It's the TARDIS. CLARA: I can see that. THE DOCTOR: No. When a TARDIS is dying, sometimes the dimension dams start breaking down. They used to call it a size leak, all the bigger-on-the-inside starts leaking to the outside. It grows. When I say that's the TARDIS, I don't mean it looks like the TARDIS - I mean it actually is the TARDIS. My TARDIS from the future. (goes ahead) What else would they bury me in? CLARA starts to follow but stops and turns at the sound of RIVER'S voice. RIVER: Clara. Don't speak, don't say my name - he can't see or hear me, only you can. THE DOCTOR: (calls) Well, come on then! RIVER: We're mentally linked, it's the conference call. I kept the line open. THE DOCTOR: (strides over) Who are you talking to? We need to get... (stops at stares) River? (walks over to a stone bearing RIVER'S name and runs his fingers along it) CLARA: That can't be right. THE DOCTOR: No, it can't. CLARA: She's not dead. THE DOCTOR: Oh, she's dead, I'm afraid. She's been dead for a very long time. RIVER: Yeah, should probably have mentioned that - never the right time. CLARA: But I met her! THE DOCTOR: Long story. But her grave can't be here. CLARA hears hushed whispers and turns around. CLARA: Doctor! The DOCTOR hurries around in front of CLARA as the group of Whisper Men approach. He reaches into his inner jacket pocket and pulls out the sonic and uses it on them. The Whisper Men continue to approach. WHISPER MEN: (point at the DOCTOR) This man must fall as all men must The fate of all is always dust. The DOCTOR slaps the sonic against his hand and tries again. When it still doesn't work, he blows on it and tries a third time. RIVER: If it's not my gravestone, then what is it? CLARA: (to DOCTOR) What do you think the gravestone really is? THE DOCTOR: The gravestone? (spares a look at CLARA) RIVER: Maybe it's a false grave! CLARA: Maybe it's a false grave. THE DOCTOR: Yeah, maybe. RIVER: Maybe it's a secret entrance to the tomb! CLARA: Maybe it's a secret entrance to the tomb! THE DOCTOR: (taps the sonic against his forehead) Yes, of course, makes sense. (uses sonic on gravestone) They'd never have buried my wife out here! CLARA: Your what? The ground opens underneath them and they fall. The Whisper Men move forward to the hole. WHISPER MEN: The man who lies will lie no more When this man lies at Trenzalore. [SCENE_BREAK] VASTRA wakes on a dirt floor. She stands hurriedly and sees STRAX propped against a wide square column. She looks around and sees a window high up and the dark skies through it. She looks higher and sees the window is in the bottom row of three. The top window on the left is cracked. Above them are backwards letters that read "POLICE". EXT. TRENZALORE, NIGHT We once again see the TARDIS as the DOCTOR'S tomb. INT. TOMB, NIGHT VASTRA continues to look in amazement, realizing where they are: the space between the inner and outer shells of the TARDIS. STRAX wakes and stands quickly. STRAX: This base is surrounded! Lay down your weapons and your deaths will be merciful! VASTRA: (sees JENNY and rushes over) Jenny! Jenny! (kneels beside JENNY) STRAX: This planet is now property of the Sontaran Empire! Surrender your women and intellectuals. VASTRA: Strax, please! She's dead. STRAX hurries over and scans JENNY with a handheld device. STRAX: No heartbeat - complete cardio-collapse, shock-induced. VASTRA: (grips STRAX'S shoulder) Get her back for me! Get her back for me, or I will cut you into pieces! STRAX: Unhand me, ridiculous reptile! STRAX shoves VASTRA back and she falls to the ground. He holds the device over JENNY'S chest and activates it. STRAX: There we go! JENNY begins to cough and VASTRA strokes her face. STRAX: Just applied an electro-cardio-restart - she'll be fine. VASTRA: Are you all right, my love, can you hear me? JENNY nods. STRAX: The heart is a relatively simple thing. VASTRA: I have not found it so. VASTRA helps JENNY stand just as the Whisper Men approach with the Great INTELLIGENCE wearing the face of Simeon. INTELLIGENCE: I see you have repaired your pet. No matter, I was only attracting your attention. I presume I have it. VASTRA: Dr Simeon - this is not possible. INTELLIGENCE: And yet here we are, meeting again, so very far from home. JENNY: But he died... you told me. VASTRA: Simeon died, but the creature that possessed him lived on. I take it I am now talking to the Great Intelligence? INTELLIGENCE: Welcome to the final resting place of the cruel tyrant. Of the slaughterer of the ten billion and the vessel of the final darkness. Welcome to the tomb of the Doctor. INT. CATACOMBS, NIGHT The DOCTOR and CLARA walk through a doorway into a dark tunnel lined with invading roots. The DOCTOR finds and lights a torch before removing it from the sconce. CLARA: Where are we? THE DOCTOR: Catacombs. (starts down the tunnel) RIVER: I hate catacombs. CLARA: (follows DOCTOR) So how come I met your dead wife? THE DOCTOR: Well, you know how it is when you lose someone close to you. I sort of made a back-up. CLARA looks at RIVER and can see her flicker as she speaks. RIVER: I died saving him. In return, he saved me to a database in the biggest library in the universe. Left me like a book on a shelf. Didn't even say goodbye. He doesn't like endings. A Whisper Man walks right through RIVER, its hand reaching for CLARA. THE DOCTOR: Come on, run, run! (grabs CLARA'S arm and pulls her along) [SCENE_BREAK] INT. TOMB, NIGHT The INTELLIGENCE looks out over the cemetery from the main entrance of the TARDIS. INTELLIGENCE: It was a minor skirmish, by the Doctor's blood-soaked standards - not exactly the Time War, but enough to finish him. In the end, it was too much for the old man. (turns around to face the others) JENNY: Blood-soaked? VASTRA: The Doctor has been many things, but never blood-soaked. INTELLIGENCE: Tell that to the leader of the Sycorax. Or Solomon the trader, or the Cybermen, or the Daleks. The Doctor lives his life in darker hues, day upon day, and he will have other names before the end. The Storm. The Beast. The Valeyard. VASTRA: Even if any of this were true - which I take the liberty of doubting - how did you come by this information? INTELLIGENCE: I AM information. JENNY: You were a mind without a body, last time we met. VASTRA: And you were supposed to stay that way. INTELLIGENCE: Alas... I did. The Great INTELLIGENCE reaches up with his left hand and peels away his face to reveal nothing within. He removes his top hat and his clothes fall to the ground. One of the Whisper Men steps into his place and the face changes to that of Simeon. INTELLIGENCE: As you can see. INT. TOMB, LOWER LEVELS, NIGHT The DOCTOR bursts through a door and we can see the walls are that of the TARDIS. THE DOCTOR: Come on, quickly, we're in. CLARA follows but is grabbed by a Whisper Man. The DOCTOR reaches for her hands and pulls. CLARA: Doctor! THE DOCTOR: Clara! The DOCTOR pulls CLARA free and pushes the door closed on the Whisper Man's hand. The DOCTOR leans back against the door. The hand is pulled free and the door closes fully. THE DOCTOR: Yowzah! The DOCTOR drops the torch and they continue on through the corridors. They climb some steps. THE DOCTOR: Bit of a climb. Think I remember the way. The DOCTOR turns around for CLARA but she is lagging behind. THE DOCTOR: Clara. Clara? (runs to CLARA as she staggers and leans against a wall) It's OK. The dimensioning forces this deep in the TARDIS, they can make you a bit giddy. (holds her against him as they walk forward) CLARA: I know, I know. (pulls away and looks at the DOCTOR) How do I know? How do I know that? THE DOCTOR: Clara, it's OK, you're fine. CLARA: Have we, have we done this before? (flashes on memories from "Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS") We have! We have done this before, climbing through a wrecked TARDIS - you said things, things I'm not supposed to remember. THE DOCTOR: We can't do this now. The TARDIS is a ruin, the telepathic circuits are awakening memories you shouldn't even have. [SCENE_BREAK] FLASHBACK INT. TARDIS, ENGINE ROOM THE DOCTOR: Why do I keep meeting you? [SCENE_BREAK] INT. TOMB, LOWER LEVELS, NIGHT THE DOCTOR: Clara. [SCENE_BREAK] FLASHBACK INT. TARDIS, ENGINE ROOM THE DOCTOR: The Dalek Asylum. There was a girl in a shipwreck and she died saving my life. And she was you. [SCENE_BREAK] INT. TOMB, LOWER LEVELS, NIGHT THE DOCTOR: Clara. [SCENE_BREAK] FLASHBACK INT. TARDIS, ENGINE ROOM THE DOCTOR: In Victorian London there was a governess who was really a barmaid... And she was you! [SCENE_BREAK] INT. TOMB, LOWER LEVELS, NIGHT THE DOCTOR: Clara, what's wrong? CLARA: (staggers to a wall) What did you mean, you keep meeting me? You said I died! How could I die? THE DOCTOR: That's not a conversation you should even remember... CLARA: What do you mean I died? WHISPER MEN: (O.C.) The girl who died he tried to save She'll die again inside his grave. The DOCTOR peers through the wire fencing trying to locate the Whisper Men. THE DOCTOR: (takes CLARA'S hand) Run! Run! INT. TOMB, NIGHT The Great INTELLIGENCE faces the main doors to the "inner sanctum" of the tomb. INTELLIGENCE: The doors require a key. The key is a word. And the word... is the Doctor's. The DOCTOR and CLARA arrive and he steps in front of his friends, facing the Great INTELLIGENCE as it turns around. THE DOCTOR: Here I am, late to my own funeral. Glad to see you could make it, Jenny. (looks to JENNY who nods) INTELLIGENCE: Open the door, Doctor. Speak, and open your tomb. THE DOCTOR: No. INTELLIGENCE: Because you know what's in there? THE DOCTOR: I will not open those doors. INTELLIGENCE: The key is a word lost to time. A secret hidden in the deepest shadow and known to you alone. The answer to a question! The DOCTOR strides forward until he is face-to-face with the INTELLIGENCE. THE DOCTOR: I will not open my tomb. INTELLIGENCE: Doctor, what is your name? The DOCTOR doesn't reply and the INTELLIGENCE grips the DOCTOR'S face in his gloved hand. The DOCTOR stares it down before gripping its hand in his own and pulling it away. The INTELLIGENCE walks around the DOCTOR and heads towards the others. INTELLIGENCE: The Doctor's friends. (turns to face the DOCTOR) Stop their hearts. (raises left hand and makes a fist) The Whisper Men hiss. CLARA, STRAX, VASTRA and JENNY whip around to face them. STRAX: Madam, boys, combat formation! They are unarmed! JENNY: So are we! STRAX: Do not divulge our military secrets. The Whisper Men advance, each with a hand outstretched. THE DOCTOR: Stop this! Leave them alone. INTELLIGENCE: Your name, Doctor. Answer me! CLARA: Doctor! STRAX picks up a pipe and with a cry strikes at the Whisper Man in front of him. It makes a gash exposing emptiness but does not stop it. STRAX: Do you want me to do that again? The Whisper Man repairs itself. INTELLIGENCE: Doctor who? The DOCTOR looks around. The Whisper Man in front of STRAX reaches into his chest with its hand. STRAX: Aagh! THE DOCTOR: Please, stop it! INTELLIGENCE: Doctor who? STRAX: Unhand me, sir! Aagh! THE DOCTOR: Leave him alone, let him be. STRAX: Don't worry, sir, I think I've got him rattled. CLARA: Doctor! Doctor! INTELLIGENCE: Doctor who? THE DOCTOR: Please! Behind the DOCTOR, the doors open. The DOCTOR turns slowly and looks at the lit area within. The INTELLIGENCE raises its hand and the Whisper Men release the others. RIVER: (sashays over) The TARDIS can still hear me. Lucky thing, since him indoors is being so useless! STRAX: Why did you open the door, sir? I had them on the run! THE DOCTOR: I didn't do it. I didn't say my name. RIVER: No, but I did. The DOCTOR swallows before turning around to check on the others and help them stand. THE DOCTOR: Is everyone all right? Is everyone OK? Clara? Clara? Are you OK? CLARA: (coughs) That was not nice. THE DOCTOR: (hugs CLARA) I know. I'm sorry. (releases CLARA and walks over to face INTELLIGENCE) Now then, Dr Simeon. Or Mr G Intelligence, whatever I call you... Do you know what's in there? INTELLIGENCE: For me, peace at last. For you, pain everlasting. Won't you invite us in? (steps aside) The DOCTOR looks over at CLARA and sighs deeply before setting his jaw and striding over to the door. He stops and pushes the doors fully open with a groan. INT. TOMB, CONSOLE ROOM, NIGHT The console room has vines growing through it. As the DOCTOR climbs the stairs, we can hear the cloister bell. CLARA and the others follow. In the center, where the console would be is a tower of light, different strands rotating around each other. CLARA: What's that? THE DOCTOR: What were you expecting? A body? Bodies are boring, I've had loads of 'em. That's not what my tomb is for. The DOCTOR leads his friends up to the main level. Opposite them stand the Great INTELLIGENCE and the Whisper Men. VASTRA: But what is the light? JENNY: It's beautiful. STRAX: Should I destroy it? VASTRA: (whispers) Shut up, Strax. CLARA: Doctor, explain. What is that? THE DOCTOR: The tracks of my tears. INTELLIGENCE: Less poetry, Doctor. Just tell them. THE DOCTOR: Time travel is... damage. It's like a tear in the fabric of reality. That is the scar tissue of my journey through the universe. My path through time and space, from Gallifrey to Trenzalore. (uses sonic on light) FIRST DOCTOR: (V.O.) 'Have you ever thought what it's like to be wanderers in the fourth dimension?' SIXTH DOCTOR: (V.O.) '..Cybermen - they're still in the nursery compared to us...' SECOND DOCTOR: (V.O.) 'There are corners of the universe that have bred the most dangerous things...' FOURTH DOCTOR: (V.O.) 'Do I have the right?' NINTH DOCTOR: (V.O.) 'You were fantastic - absolutely fantastic!' TENTH DOCTOR: (V.O.) 'I'm the Doctor, I'm from Gallifrey, in the constellation of Kasterborous...' FIFTH DOCTOR: (faint V.O.) So you see... THE DOCTOR: (faint V.O.) Hello, Stonehenge! THIRD DOCTOR: (faint V.O.) It was the daisiest daisy I'd ever seen. THE DOCTOR: My own personal time tunnel, all the days, even the ones that... (weakly) I, er, even the ones that I haven't lived yet. (collapses to the floor) CLARA: Doctor! Doctor! (runs over and kneels beside him) THE DOCTOR: No. No. Which is why I shouldn't be here. The paradox is... it's very bad. The Great INTELLIGENCE starts to move towards the light. THE DOCTOR: No. What are you doing? Somebody stop him! INTELLIGENCE: The Doctor's life is an open wound. And an open wound can be entered. THE DOCTOR: No, it would destroy you. INTELLIGENCE: Not at all. It will kill me - it will destroy you. I can rewrite your every living moment. I can turn every one of your victories into defeats. Poison every friendship. Deliver pain to your every breath. THE DOCTOR: It would burn you up. Once you go through, you can't come back - you'll be scattered along my timeline, like confetti. INTELLIGENCE: It matters not, Doctor. You thwarted me at every turn. Now, you will give me peace, as I take my revenge on every second of your life! Goodbye... Goodbye, Doctor! The INTELLIGENCE steps backwards into the light and screams in pain. The Whisper Men disappear. The INTELLIGENCE is consumed by the light. On the floor, the DOCTOR gasps and cries in pain. CLARA: What's wrong with him? What's happening? VASTRA: He's being rewritten! DOCTOR'S TIMELINE The Great INTELLIGENCE appears throughout the DOCTOR'S timeline, witnessing moments of the First, Second, Third and Fourth incarnations. It culminates when the Great INTELLIGENCE - in Simeon's body - tries to kill the DOCTOR. INT. TOMB, CONSOLE ROOM, NIGHT Images of past incarnations circle around the light. VASTRA: Simeon is attacking his entire timeline - he's dying all at once. The Dalek Asylum. Androzani. CLARA: What did you say? [SCENE_BREAK] FLASHBACK DALEK ASYLUM A DALEK moves forward towards the DOCTOR, who is backed against a door. He then runs down a hallway as it explodes behind him. [SCENE_BREAK] INT. TOMB, CONSOLE ROOM, NIGHT CLARA: Did you say the Dalek Asylum? VASTRA: Now he's dying in London, with us. [SCENE_BREAK] FLASHBACK INT. GREAT INTELLIGENCE HQ, STUDY, NIGHT SIMEON'S hand touches the DOCTOR'S face and steam rises from his skin as the heat leaves his body and his skin begins to turn blue and cold. [SCENE_BREAK] INT. TOMB, CONSOLE ROOM, NIGHT INTELLIGENCE: It is done. The DOCTOR writhes on the floor as he cries in pain. The light turns from a brilliant white to a dark red. VASTRA: Oh, dear Goddess! JENNY: What's wrong? VASTRA: A universe without the Doctor - there will be consequences. Jenny. With me. VASTRA leaves and JENNY follows. CLARA: The Dalek Asylum. You said it was me that saved you. How? Victorian London. How, how could I have been in Victorian London? THE DOCTOR: No. Please, stop, my life... My whole life is burning. EXT. TOMB, NIGHT VASTRA, JENNY and STRAX step outside and VASTRA holds her device up to the sky. JENNY: What are you scanning for? VASTRA: Local star systems. STRAX: Why? VASTRA: Because they're disappearing. JENNY: Disappearing? How? VASTRA: The Doctor's timeline has been corrupted. His every victory reversed. Think how many lives that man saved, how many worlds. He saved your life when we met. (turns to see JENNY is gone) Jenny? Please, Jenny! No! Oh, God, oh, please, no! (punches buttons on her device) STRAX: Reptile scum! VASTRA looks up to see STRAX with a long pipe which he swings at her. She backs away STRAX: You are an affront to Sontaran purity! Prepare to perish! VASTRA: We're friends! Strax, your past is changing, but I swear, we are comrades! STRAX: Die, reptile! As STRAX moves towards her again, VASTRA fires her weapon and STRAX disappears. VASTRA: Strax! Strax! INT. TOMB, CONSOLE ROOM, NIGHT CLARA is kneeling beside the DOCTOR, who is lying on his back. CLARA: I have to go in there. THE DOCTOR: Please. Please, no... CLARA: But this is what I've already done. You've already seen me do it. I'm the Impossible Girl, and this is why. RIVER: Whatever you're thinking of doing... don't. CLARA: If I step in there... what happens? RIVER: The time winds will tear you into a million pieces. A million versions of you, living and dying all over time and space. Like... echoes. CLARA: But the echoes could save the Doctor, right? RIVER: But they won't be you - the real you will die. They'll just be copies. CLARA: But they'll be real enough to save him. (shrugs) Like my mum said, the souffle isn't the souffle - the souffle is the recipe. (looks down at the DOCTOR and caresses his face) It's the only way to save him, isn't it? RIVER nods. VASTRA: The stars are going out. And Jenny and Strax are dead. There must be something we can do? CLARA: (stands) Well, how about that? I'm Souffle Girl after all. THE DOCTOR: (weakly) No... please... CLARA: (walks towards light) If this works, get out of here as fast as you can. And spare me a thought now and then. THE DOCTOR: (turns head) No, Clara...! CLARA: In fact, you know what? (turns to the DOCTOR) Run. Run, you clever boy. And remember me. THE DOCTOR: No! Clara! CLARA runs into the light. INT. VORTEX CLARA is falling as we first saw her though we now know it is within the time vortex and the DOCTOR'S personal timeline. CLARA: (V.O.) 'I don't know where I am...' INT. TOMB, CONSOLE ROOM, NIGHT THE DOCTOR: CLARA! INT. VORTEX CLARA: (V.O.) '..I just know I'm running.' INT. HOUSE 1800s, NIGHT A mother stands by a window gently rocking a baby in blankets. Then we see a young girl standing at the same window looking out. CLARA: (V.O.) Sometimes it's like I've lived a thousand lives in a thousand places. INT. ROSE & CROWN, NIGHT The pub is doing a good business. CLARA, collects empty tankards on a tray. INT. FUTURE APARTMENT, NIGHT CLARA looks out at the skyline of a city. CLARA: (V.O.) I'm born, I live, I die. INT. CORRIDOR CLARA suddenly finds herself standing in a futuristic hallway wearing 70s style clothes. CLARA: (V.O.) 'And always, there's the Doctor. The Sixth DOCTOR walks across a corridor behind her. CLARA turns but he is already gone. She runs to the other corridor to see the Fourth DOCTOR walking away. INT. VORTEX CLARA: (V.O.) Always, I'm running to save the Doctor, INT. ICEWORLD We see the Seventh DOCTOR hanging from a ledge by his umbrella ["Dragonfire"] EXT. COUNTRYSIDE, DAY CLARA, in 70s clothes, turns around as the Third DOCTOR in Bessie speeds past. CLARA: (V.O.) Again... EXT. CALIFORNIA, BEACH, DAY CLARA is still in her 70s clothes as the Eighth DOCTOR brushes past her. CLARA: (V.O.) and again... She turns to look and the Second DOCTOR in his fur coat rushes by her from the other direction. CLARA: (V.O.) and again. [SCENE_BREAK] CLARA looks down on the Fifth DOCTOR as he floats in the Matrix ["Arc of Infinity"]. EXT. LONDON 1892, STREET, NIGHT CLARA follows the Eleventh DOCTOR. ["The Snowmen"] CLARA: Oi! (V.O.) And he hardly ever hears me. The DOCTOR stops and turns. INT. GALLIFREY, REPAIR SHOP CLARA: (V.O.) But I've always been there. The DOCTOR looks around nervously. CLARA: Doctor? THE DOCTOR: (sees CLARA) Yes, what is it? What do you want? CLARA: (V.O.) Right from the very beginning. (to DOCTOR) Sorry. But you're about to make a very big mistake. Don't steal that one, steal this one. (leans against TARDIS) The navigation system's knackered, but you'll have much more fun. INT. VORTEX The TARDIS rides through the vortex. CLARA: (V.O.) Right from the day he started running. INT. LIVING QUARTERS CLARA/OSWIN: (sits in chair and tucks up legs) Run, you clever boy... INT. TOMB, CONSOLE ROOM, NIGHT CLARA: And remember me. (runs into the timeline) LATER The DOCTOR'S timeline has returned to its normal glow. STRAX and JENNY'S deaths have been undone. They stand with VASTRA on one side and the DOCTOR stands on the opposite, his back to them. STRAX: It was an unprovoked and violent attack, but that's no excuse... VASTRA: We are all restored, that is all that matters now. THE DOCTOR: (turns around) We are not all restored! RIVER: You can't go in there. It's your own time stream, for God's sake! THE DOCTOR: I have to get her back. RIVER: Of course! But not like this! JENNY: But how? VASTRA: Is she still alive? It killed Dr Simeon. THE DOCTOR: Clara's got one advantage over the Great Intelligence. VASTRA: Which is? THE DOCTOR: Me. RIVER: Doctor, please listen to me - at least hear me. THE DOCTOR: Now... if I don't come back - and I might not... RIVER: Doctor! THE DOCTOR: ...go to the TARDIS. The fast return protocols should be on, she'll take you home, then shut herself down. RIVER: (steps towards the DOCTOR) There has to be another way. Use the TARDIS, use something. Save her, yes, but for God's sake, be sensible! RIVER raises her hand to slap the DOCTOR. He turns around and grips her wrist. RIVER: How are you even doing that? I'm not really here. THE DOCTOR: You are always here, to me. And I always listen and I can always see you. RIVER: Then why didn't you speak to me? THE DOCTOR: I thought it would hurt too much. RIVER: I believe I could have coped! THE DOCTOR: No. I thought it would hurt ME. And I was right. (grips RIVER'S face in his hands and kisses her) Since nobody else in this room can see you, God knows how that looked. STRAX, VASTRA and JENNY share puzzled looks. THE DOCTOR: There is a time to live and a time to sleep. You are an echo, River. Like Clara. Like all of us, in the end. My fault, I know, but you should've faded by now. RIVER: It's hard to leave when you haven't said goodbye. THE DOCTOR: Then tell me, because I don't know - how do I say it? RIVER: There's only one way I would accept. If you ever loved me... say it like you're going to come back. THE DOCTOR: Well, then... (backs away and tries to be non-chalant) See you around, Professor River Song. RIVER: Till the next time, Doctor. THE DOCTOR: Don't wait up. RIVER: Oh, there's one more thing. THE DOCTOR: Isn't there always? RIVER: I was mentally linked with Clara. If she's really dead, then how can I still be here? THE DOCTOR: OK. How? RIVER: Spoilers. Goodbye, sweetie. (fades away) After a moment, the DOCTOR slowly turns around. He takes a deep breath and steps into his timeline. INT. VORTEX CLARA opens her eyes and flames are reflected in them. She is falling downwards. CLARA: (V.O.) I don't know where I am. I don't know where I'm going, or where I've been. I was the born to save the Doctor, but the Doctor is safe now. I'm the Impossible Girl and my story is done. EXT. ??? CLARA falls on the mist-shrouded ground. She sits up quickly and looks around in the dim light. CLARA: Doctor? There is a loud thudding. CLARA: DOCTOR! The thudding continues. CLARA curls up, lowering her head to the ground. CLARA: (sobs) Please! Please, I don't know where I am. THE DOCTOR: (V.O.) Clara. CLARA stops sobbing and lifts her head. THE DOCTOR: (V.O.) You can hear me, I know you can. CLARA: I can't see you. THE DOCTOR: (V.O.) I'm everywhere. You're inside my time stream. Everything around you is me. The First DOCTOR walks past her and she watches him go. CLARA: I can see you. The Sixth DOCTOR walks by in the opposite direction. CLARA stands. Then the Fifth DOCTOR and Ninth DOCTOR run past. CLARA: All your different faces, they're here. The Fourth DOCTOR runs past. THE DOCTOR: (V.O.) Those are my ghosts. My past. Every good day, every bad day. There is a loud cry of anguish followed by a thunderclap. CLARA falls to the ground. CLARA: What's wrong, what's happening? THE DOCTOR: (V.O.) I'm inside my own time stream, it's collapsing in on itself. CLARA: Well, get out, then! THE DOCTOR: (V.O.) Not until I've got you. CLARA: I don't even know who I am. THE DOCTOR: (V.O.) You're my Impossible Girl. I'm sending you something - not from my past, from yours. Look up. Look. (a leaf falls from the sky) This is you, Clara. Everything you were or will be. Take it. (CLARA takes leaf) You blew into the world on this leaf. Hold tight. It will take you home. CLARA staggers along the path. THE DOCTOR: Clara! Clara! Come on! CLARA turns around and sees the DOCTOR standing there, encouraging her to walk towards him. THE DOCTOR: Come on, to me, now. You can do it, I know you can. CLARA: How? THE DOCTOR: Because it's impossible. And you're my Impossible Girl. CLARA walks towards him slowly. THE DOCTOR: How many times have you saved me, Clara? Just this once, just for the hell of it, let me save you! You have to trust me, Clara, I'm real. Just one more step. CLARA reaches him and wraps her arms around his neck. He grips her tightly. THE DOCTOR: Clara. My Clara. (kisses her head) Over CLARA'S shoulder, the DOCTOR sees a still figure, his back to them. The DOCTOR slowly releases CLARA and she turns around. CLARA: Who's that? THE DOCTOR: Never mind, let's go back. CLARA: But who is he? THE DOCTOR: He's me. There's only me here, that's the point. Now let's get back. CLARA: But I never saw that one. I saw all of you. 11 faces, all of them you. You're the 11th Doctor. THE DOCTOR: I said he was me. I never said he was the Doctor. CLARA: I don't understand. THE DOCTOR: (slaps palm to forehead) Look, my name, my real name - that is not the point. The name I chose is the Doctor. The name you choose, it's like a promise you make. (looks to figure) He's the one who broke the promise. CLARA faints and falls against the DOCTOR. THE DOCTOR: Clara? Clara! Clara! (picks up CLARA) He is my secret. MAN: (older voice) What I did, I did without choice. THE DOCTOR: I know. MAN: In the name of peace and sanity. THE DOCTOR: But not in the name of the Doctor. The DOCTOR turns and walks away. The MAN turns around to show an older man, looking to be somewhere in his 70s with a trim grey beard.
The Name of the Doctor
