[ Park ]

(phone rings)

Danny: Clara!

Clara (O.C.): Shut up.

Danny: Is that how we communicate now?

[ Clara's place ]

Clara: Shut up, shut up, shut up. I need to talk to you.

[ Park ]

Danny: All right. Well, I'll be there in a couple of minutes, so...

[ Clara's place ]

Clara: No, no, Not while you're in the room.

[ Park ]

Danny: Oh, stupid me. The very idea.

[ Clara's place ]

Clara: Shut up!

Danny (O.C.): OK.

Clara: Stay shut up.

[ Park ]

Danny: OK.

Clara (O.C.): Things to say.

[ Clara's place ]

Clara: Not all of them good.

Danny (O.C.): Oh, wouldn't it be better...

[ Park ]

Danny: ...if I was actually there?

Clara (O.C.): Oh, Danny, everything is...

[ Clara's place ]

Clara: ...better when you're here, but maybe... Maybe not this. OK. Um... OK, before all of that. Before all of the stuff...

[ Park ]

Clara (O.C.): ...that I did wrong.

[ Clara's place ]

Clara: I love you.

[ Road ]

Danny: I love you.

Clara: No, not like that. Not like it's a*t*matic.

[ Clara's place ]

Clara: Not like it's how you end the phone call, the sign off, the pat on the back.

[ Park ]

Danny: Clara...

[ Clara's place ]

Clara: Danny, I'll never say those words again. Not to anybody else, ever. Those words, from me, are yours now.

Clara: So, er. That's a thing.

(sound of traffic on phone)

Clara: OK, Danny? Er, there's more but that's kind of the headline. OK, Danny, please speak to me, This is, this is k*lling me.

Clara: Danny, I love you. And you are the last person who's ever going to hear me say that.

Woman (O.C.): Hello? Hello, is someone there?

Clara: Hello? Er, yeah. Who's this?

Woman (O.C.): I just picked up the phone, I'm sorry. I found it.

Clara: Oh. Um, OK. Er... Can you please just put me back on the phone to Danny? I was talking to Danny.

Woman (O.C.): I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

Clara: OK, er, what are you sorry about? Could you please just pass the phone back to

Woman (O.C.): He was crossing the road. 'I found the phone, it must have just got thrown. The car, it just came out of nowhere.

[ Road ]

Woman: I'm so sorry.

(sirens wail)

Armitage (O.C.): By now, I'm sure you've heard the rumours, and it is with great sadness that I must confirm them to be true.

I have gathered you all here today to say that Mister Pink, that Danny Pink has sadly passed away. I'm sure you'll all join me in wishing his family and friends our sincerest condolences. Mister Pink was an inspiration to all of those who knew him. A soldier, a teacher, a friend. It was no secret that he had a close relationship with Miss Oswald, and our thoughts and prayers are with her too.

[ Clara's kitchen ]

(phone rings, phone rings)

Gran: Hello, love. You all right? (phone continues ringing) Oh, of course you're not. Sorry. Of course you're not all right. You know what you should do? You should cry. Let go.

Clara: Of what?

Gran: It's a terrible thing. Just a terrible, terrible thing.

Clara: It wasn't terrible.

Gran: Clara?

Clara: It was boring.

Gran: Boring?

Clara: It was ordinary. (phone continues ringing) People just kept walking with their iPods and their shopping bags. He was alive, and then he was dead and it was nothing. Like stepping off a bus.

Gran: He deserved better. And so did you.

Clara: I don't deserve anything. Nobody deserves anything. But I am owed better. I am owed.

Gran: Who owes you?

The Doctor (O.C.): Clara! Clara?

Clara: Hey!

[ TARDIS ]

The Doctor: Sorry, I was busy. What's happening?

[ Clara's kitchen ]

Clara: Oh, nothing. You know, same old, same old.

[ TARDIS ]

The Doctor: Well, you're only human.

[ Clara's kitchen ]

The Doctor (O.C.): So what I can do for you, Clara?

[ Crater ]

The Doctor: Clara?

[ TARDIS ]

Clara: Start her up.

The Doctor: Where are we going?

Clara: Away.

The Doctor: From?

Clara: Just away.

The Doctor: Well, normally you say work or kids or dishes or dullness. So what's happened?

Clara: A volcano.

The Doctor: I'm sorry?

Clara: I've never seen an active volcano, do you know one?

The Doctor: What's so great about seeing a volcano? It's just a sort of leaky mountain.

Clara: I've never seen lava.

The Doctor: It's rubbish.

Clara: Prove it.

[ Crater ]

Clara: It's on your neck.

[ TARDIS ]

Clara: Do you still have those sleep patch things?

The Doctor: You can't have one.

Clara: I'm having trouble sleeping.

The Doctor: You still can't have one.

Clara: Can I have one?

The Doctor: No, you can't have one.

So, volcano. What's so good about lava?

[ Crater ]

Clara: You told me once what it would take to destroy a TARDIS key. That's what's so good about lava. All seven. From all of your hiding places.

The Doctor: Clara, what are you doing? Don't. Be very, very careful with that. Those are very, very...

Clara: Do I have your attention?

The Doctor: Yes.

Clara: Good.

The Doctor: No. Not good, Clara.

Clara: Danny Pink.

The Doctor: Yeah?

Clara: Is dead.

The Doctor: And?

Clara: Seriously?

The Doctor: And?

Clara: And fix it. Change it. Change what happened. Save him. Bring him back.

The Doctor: No.

Clara: Five left. Every time you say no to me, I will throw another key down there. Do we understand each other?

The Doctor: Well, I understand you. Let's not get carried away.

Clara: Time can be rewritten.

The Doctor: With precision. With great care. And not today. But you know that of course, otherwise you wouldn't be threatening me.

Clara: Did you just say no?

The Doctor: If I change the events that brought you here, you will never come here and ask me to change those events. Paradox loop. The timeline disintegrates. Your timeline. And yes!

Clara: Yes?

The Doctor: Yes. I did just say no. Throw away the key.

Clara: I have seen you change time, I have seen you break any rule you want.

The Doctor: I know when I can, I know when I can't. Throw the key.

Clara: I know what you're doing. You're trying to take control.

The Doctor: I am in control. Throw away the key. Do as you are told.

Clara: No!

The Doctor: Well, either you do as you're told or stop threatening me. There really isn't a third option here.

Clara: Do you know what, Doctor? When it comes to taking control, you really are out of your depth.

Clara: One last chance. And I don't care about the rules, I don't give a damn about paradoxes. Save Danny. Bring him back or I swear you will never step inside your TARDIS again.

The Doctor: No.

Clara: Do as you are told.

The Doctor: No.

Clara: Say it again so I know you mean it.

The Doctor: No!

Clara: I'm not kidding, Doctor.

The Doctor: Neither am I.

Clara: I will do it!

The Doctor: Clara, my Clara, I don't think you will!

Clara: Oh, I'd say I'm sorry but I'd do it again.

(Clara cries)

Clara: I'd do it again. Well, what are you doing? Why are you just standing there? Do you understand what I have just done?

The Doctor: Look in your hand.

Clara: There's nothing in my hand.

The Doctor: Clara, look in your hand.

Clara: The keys, they're gone. They're down there. They've gone.

The Doctor: Clara, look in your hand.

Clara: There's nothing in my hand.

The Doctor: Yes, yes, yes, there is. Look.

The Doctor: Did you seriously think that that was going to work on me?

The Doctor: They're not sleep patches. They induce a dream state.

[ TARDIS ]

The Doctor: Makes you very suggestible.

The Doctor: I allowed the whole scenario to play out just as you planned. I was curious about how far you would go.

Clara: Well, now you know.

The Doctor: Yeah. Now I know.

Clara:I love him.

(sonic screwdriver buzzes)

The Doctor: Yes, you're quite the mess of chemicals, aren't you?

Clara: So, what now? What do we do now? You and me, what happens now? Doctor?

The Doctor: Go to hell.

Clara: Fair enough. Absolutely fair enough.

The Doctor: Clara? You asked me what we're going to do. I told you. We're going to hell. Or wherever it is people go when they die. If there is anywhere. Wherever it is, we're going to go there and we're going to find Danny. And if it is in any way possible, we're going to bring him home. Almost every culture in the universe has some concept of an afterlife. I always meant to have a look around, see if I could find one.

Clara: You're going to help me?

The Doctor: Well, why wouldn't I help you?

Clara: Because of what I just did. I just...

The Doctor: You betrayed me. Betrayed my trust, you betrayed our friendship, you betrayed everything that I've ever stood for. You let me down!

Clara: Then why are you helping me?

The Doctor: Why? Do you think I care for you so little that betraying me would make a difference? Stop it with the eyes. Don't do that with the eyes. How do you do that anyway? It's like they inflate. Cut out the whining while you're at it. We've got work to do. This is it, Clara, one of those moments.

Clara: What moments?

The Doctor: The darkest day. The blackest hour. Chin up, shoulders back. Let's see what we're made of, you and I. Switching off the safeguards, turning off the nav-com. Remember, we did this before. We plugged you into the TARDIS telepathic interface.

Clara: We ended up all over Danny's timestream.

The Doctor: Because you and he are linked. Strongly linked. Your timestreams are intertwined. So if he's anywhere at all, that link will hold. Give me your hands.

Clara: Doctor...

The Doctor: We're in a hurry.

Clara: I don't deserve a friend like you.

The Doctor: Clara, I'm terribly sorry, but I'm exactly what you deserve.

The Doctor: Think about Danny. Think about the man you lost. Let it hurt. Let it burn. But don't bleat. Don't ask, why him? Why me? Forget all that. Ask one question. Just one. Ask, where is Danny Pink now? Where is he now?

(TARDIS engines start)

The Doctor: Well, the TARDIS thinks he's somewhere.

[ Seb's office ]

Seb: Has anyone offered you a coffee?

Danny: Um. Well, no.

Seb: Could we have some coffee along here, please? The good kind. We've got a new one.

Seb: Five minutes, tops. Best to wait for the good coffee.

Danny: Where am I?

Seb: Sometimes it's just the instant.

Danny: Where am I?

Seb: Well, big question. Try to take that one slowly. We have been trying to contact family members, but really there is so much admin...

Danny: I wasn't here, I was...

Seb: Yeah. That last thing that happened to you, that really happened, I'm afraid. But that's life. Well, not life, I suppose, but. There are some forms to fill in. Might help you relax.
Well, they won't, but we do need them filled in. Right, important thing. Need to know. Are you being cremated? Sorry, it's a fairly urgent question.

Danny: I don't know. I've never really thought of that.

Seb: I'm going to put you down as a yes, that's pretty much the default these days. If people only knew.

Danny: Only knew what?

Seb: We've got a burner in number twelve. Tell them to prep, please.

Danny: Burner?

Seb: Yeah, it's fine, we'll come to that.

Danny: But I don't understand where I am.

Seb: Oh, look at that. You can see my house from here. Yeah, sorry, probably not helping.

Danny: Where am I? Er.

Seb: You sort of know, don't you? Most people kind of know, it's just hard to get traction on the concept.

Danny: Where am I?

Seb: OK. You're dead, and this is what's next.

Danny: I'm not dead. How can I be dead?

Seb: Our sincere condolences.

Danny: I'm standing right here.

Seb: Yes, you are. Welcome to the Underworld. Otherwise known as the Nethersphere, or the Promised Land. It's where you go when you die.

(Danny hyperventilates)

Seb: Would you like to breathe into a bag?

[ TARDIS ]

Clara: Where are we?

The Doctor: Nav-com's offline. We'll have to do this old school.

Clara: But this is where Danny is?

The Doctor: Almost certainly not. It's where there's a connection with Danny. According to the TARDIS, this is where it's most likely that your timeline will re-intersect with his. And that won't do.

Clara: What won't?

The Doctor: You won't. Look at you. I need sceptical, clever, critical. I don't need mopey. It put years on your face. And what if people see us together? It looks like you've been melted.

Clara: Are you forgetting why we're here?

The Doctor: We're here to get your boyfriend back from the dead, so buck up and give me some attitude.

[ Entrance lobby ]

Clara: Fish tanks?

The Doctor: In a mausoleum?

Clara: What does that mean?

The Doctor: It means those are definitely not fish tanks.

[ Gallery ]

Clara: Why?

The Doctor: I don't know.

Clara: OK, I'm assuming they didn't actually drown in there.

The Doctor: No. They were placed, after death. These are tombs. Water tombs, some sort of fluid, anyway.

Clara: With chairs?

The Doctor: With chairs, yes. Extra comfort for the deceased. It pays to die rich.

Clara: Oh, God. Am I going to find Danny now? Is that why the TARDIS brought us here? I don't want to see him like that.

The Doctor: Good point. Tombs with windows. Who wants to watch their loved ones rot? Why would anyone go to so much trouble just to keep watch on the dead?

Missy (O.C.): 3W. Death is not an end. But we can we help with that. Ever since 3W encountered the truth about the death experience, 'we have been working hard to find a better life for the deceased. At 3W, afterlife means aftercare.

Clara: OK. Bit strange?

The Doctor: Very. Why have the scrolling and a voice? Is it difficult?

Clara: Is what difficult?

The Doctor: Reading all those words back to front. Come on. We've come a long way.

Missy: Hello. I hope you're well. How may I assist you with your death?

The Doctor: Well, there is, er, no immediate hurry. We're just, er. We're just...

Clara: Browsing.

The Doctor: Yeah, yeah, browsing.

Missy: Please, take all the time you need. At 3W, you always have the rest of your life.

The Doctor: Oh, good. That's good to know, Clara, isn't it?

Clara: Yeah. Great.

The Doctor: Exactly what is 3W?

Missy: Apologies. Clearly you have not received the official 3W greetings package.

The Doctor: Well, you know, it's just an unexpected...

Missy: Welcome to the 3W Institute.

The Doctor: Clara, is it over now?

Clara: I think it's over, yeah.

Missy: You also have not received the official welcome package.

Clara: Oh, I'm good, thanks. No worries.

The Doctor: Who are you?

Missy: I am Missy.

Clara: Missy?

Missy: Mobile Intelligent Systems Interface. I am a multi-function, interactive welcome-droid. Helping you to help me to help you.

The Doctor: You're very er realistic.

Clara: Tongues?

The Doctor: Shut up.

Missy: I am fully programmed with social interaction norms appropriate to a range of visitors. Please indicate if you'd like me to adjust my intimacy setting.

The Doctor: Oh, yes, please. Please do that. Do that now right now.

Clara: Maybe just a tad, yeah.

The Doctor: I need to speak to whoever's in charge here.

Missy: I am in charge.

The Doctor: Well, who's in charge of you?

Missy: I'm in charge of me.

The Doctor: Well, who repairs you? Who, who maintains you?

Missy: I am programmed for self-repair. I am maintained by my heart.

Missy: Is everything in order?

The Doctor: Who maintains your heart?

Missy: My heart is maintained by the Doctor.

The Doctor: Doctor who?

Missy: Doctor Chang!

Chang (O.C.): Who's there?

Chang: Hello?

Clara: Hello.

The Doctor: Hello.

Clara: You can probably take your hand down now, Doctor.

Chang: So. Hey. Condolences.

Clara: Condolences?

Chang: It's a mausoleum. It's our hello. Is there a particular dead person you want to talk to?

Clara: Yes. Yes, there is.

Chang: This way then.

The Doctor: Are you OK?

Clara: No.

The Doctor: Good. There would be something very wrong if you were.

[ Veranda ]

(traffic noise)

Seb: Bit of fresh air. Do you good.

Danny: Why's it so cold here?

Seb: And the Wi-Fi is better out here. Don't know why.

Danny: Wi-Fi?

Seb: Yeah, still a bit spotty, but basically...

Danny: You have Wi-Fi here?

Danny: You. You have iPads in the afterlife?

Seb: IPads? We have Steve Jobs. Listen, another big question for you. Have you ever k*lled anybody?

Danny: This is surreal.

Seb: Imagine embryos had telephones.

Danny: That's really not helping.

Seb: Go with me. Go with me. Imagine babies in wombs could talk to other babies in other wombs. What would they say? What would they think life was like if they could talk among themselves?

Danny: I really have no idea.

Seb: They'd think that life was nine months long. Then, boom, trap door opens, out you fall, gone for ever. Never hear from those guys again. Nothing at the end of the cord.

Danny: OK.

Seb: This isn't really an afterlife. It's just more life than you were expecting.

Danny: Why did you ask me if I'd k*lled anyone?

Seb: Before you were a teacher, you spent some time as a soldier.

Danny: Yeah, so?

Seb: Any regrets? Bad memories?

Danny: Is that, is that any of your business?

Seb: Yes.

[ Flashback ]

(g*nf*re and explosions)

Soldier: Get to cover, now!

[ Veranda ]

Seb: Sorry if I triggered something then. Memory flashes can be very impactful in the early stages.

Danny: Why?

Seb: Why what?

(g*nf*re)

Danny: Why is it any of your business?

Seb: We've had a request to meet you. Any idea who that would be from?

Seb: It's been given a priority, which usually means...

Danny: Means what?

Seb: Well, anyway, we've arranged a meet-up.

Danny: When?

Seb: Come in.

Soldier (O.C.): Danny, repeat, is the building secure?'

Seb: So, I guess you remember him, yeah?

Soldier (O.C.): Danny? Danny!

[ Chang's office ]

Chang: Come in, come in. Going to need to take a reading off you.

Clara: A reading?

Chang: Won't hurt.

Clara: What won't?

The Doctor: How does the body keep its integrity? Why isn't it just a bunch of bones floating about?

Chang: Each body is encased in a support exoskeleton.

[ Gallery ]

Clara (O.C.): An invisible exoskeleton?

Chang: It's only invisible in the water. There's a specially engineered refraction index in the fluid so we can see the t*nk resident unimpeded by the support mechanisms.

The Doctor (O.C.): So each skeleton is inside something?

[ Chang's office ]

Clara: Are you serious? X-ray water?

Chang: It's so cool. Look at this. We call it dark water.

Chang: Only organic matter can be seen through it.

Chang: I keep saying they should use this stuff in swimming pools.

The Doctor: Why?

Chang: Think about it.

The Doctor: I am thinking about it. Why?

Clara: Doesn't matter. 3W, what kind of name is that? What does it mean?

Chang: Well, you know, don't you? You're here on business or they wouldn't have let you in. Sorry. Should have checked. Who are you?

The Doctor: I thought that you would never ask. Sort out your security protocols, they're a disgrace.

Chang: Another government inspection? So soon? Why is there all this swearing?

The Doctor: Oh, I've got a lot of internalised anger. What does 3W stand for?

Chang: Well, the three words.

Clara: What three words?

Chang: Seriously? You don't know?

The Doctor: Never mind what we know and what we don't know, just answer our question.

Chang: Because people who don't know, when they hear about this, they can freak out.

The Doctor: We're not going to freak out.

Chang: If you've had a recent loss, this might be, this will be disturbing.

The Doctor: She'll be fine.

Clara: Speak for me again, I'll detach something from you. I'll be fine.

Chang: You know how people are scared of dying? Like, everybody.

The Doctor: Of course. It's the most fundamental fear in the universe.

Chang: They'd be a lot more scared if they knew what it was really like.

[ Veranda ]

Danny: So. You OK? I'm sorry. I just...

Danny: Hey, hey. Hey, listen. Listen Hey!

Seb: Probably best not, eh? Doesn't speak much.

Danny: Why would he want to see me?

Danny: What the hell is that?

Seb: Sounds like somebody left their body to science. OK. Er, It's probably time to explain why you're always feeling cold.

[ Chang's office ]

Chang: White noise off the telly. We've all heard it. A few years ago, Doctor Skarosa, our founder, did something unexpected. He played that noise through a translation matrix of his own devising. This is a recording of what he heard.

Clara: OK, people, voices.

The Doctor: So what?

Chang: Over time, Doctor Skarosa became convinced these were the voices of the recently departed. He believed it was a telepathic communication from the dead.

The Doctor: Why? Was he an idiot?

Chang: He was able to isolate some of the voices, hear what they were saying.

The Doctor: So, an idiot then.

Clara: Shut up, Doctor.

Chang: What I'm about to play you will change your life and not for the better. These are the three words which caused Doctor Skarosa to set up institutes, like this one, all over the world, to protect the dead. If you'd rather not hear these words, there's still time...

The Doctor: Can you just hurry up, please, or I'll hit you with my shoe.

Voice (O.C.): Don't cremate me. Don't cremate me!

Chang: There is one simple, horrible possibility that has never occurred to anyone throughout human history.

Voice (O.C.): Don't cremate me. Don't cremate me!

Clara: Don't say it.

Chang: The dead remain conscious. The dead are fully aware of everything that is happening to them.

[ Veranda ]

Seb: So your mind is here. Your soul, whatever you want to call it. And you're in your new body in your new world, but you're still connected to your old body in the old world. You're still going to feel what it feels.

Danny: That's why I'm cold.

Seb: They're keeping you in a cold place, yeah. You did say you were being cremated?

(iPad beeps)

Seb: Sorry, I'll get this.

Danny: Sorry. Sorry, are you telling me...

Seb: Wow! Oh, that's rare. This never happens.

Danny: Wow, what now? What never happens?

Seb: You've got a call.

Danny: A call.

Seb: From the other side.

Danny: Meaning?

Seb: Do you know somebody called Clara Oswald?

[ Chang's office ]

The Doctor: Fakery. All of it. (beeping) It's a con, it's a racket!

Chang: I promise you this is not a con.

Clara: What's that beeping?

[ Gallery ]

The Doctor (O.C.): Never mind about beeping. Who cares about beeping? The dead are dead. 'They're not talking to you out of your television sets. They're just gone...

The Doctor (O.C.): And all these poor souls down there in these tanks, I'm sorry, but they're just dead and they're not coming back.

[ Chang's office ]

Danny (O.C.): Clara? Clara? Clara, are you there?

Clara: Danny! I can hear you. Is that you?

[ Veranda ]

Clara (O.C.): Oh, please, say it's you.

Danny: That's her, that's Clara!

Seb: Yeah, you're really lucky. It hardly ever happens.

Danny: Where did she go?

[ Chang's office ]

Chang: Just lost the signal. But I can track it back, I'm pretty sure.

Clara: I don't, I don't understand. What is happening?

Chang: We've been scanning you telepathically since you came in. You said you wanted to speak to someone who'd passed, and we've found you a match in the Nethersphere.

The Doctor: This isn't possible. The dead don't come back.

[ Veranda ]

Danny: Come on, get her back.

Seb: Da-da-da. I'm trying.

[ Chang's office ]

Clara: It was him. It was his voice.

The Doctor: If they scanned you telepathically, they could've lifted a voice print. It could still be a fake.

Chang: Getting him back, very nearly!

[ Veranda ]

Danny: Clara, can you hear me?

[ Chang's office ]

Clara: Yes, Danny, I can hear you. Can you hear me?

Danny (O.C.): Yeah, yeah, I can hear you.

[ Veranda ]

Danny: Clara! Oh, God. Clara...

Clara (O.C.): What do I do?

Danny: Who are you talking to?

[ Chang's office ]

Clara: Hang on just a moment.

The Doctor: Question him. Ask him questions only he'd know the answer to. Be sure. You, with me.

Clara: Where are you going?

The Doctor: I've got to check out those tanks. There's something that I'm missing.

Danny (O.C.): 'Clara?

The Doctor: Sceptical and critical, remember? Be strong, even if it breaks your heart.

Chang: Connection's stabilised. It should be OK.

The Doctor: Who would harvest dead bodies? I feel like I'm missing something obvious.

Clara: Danny?

[ Veranda ]

Danny: Yeah, I'm here.

[ Chang's office ]

Clara: Danny, I'm so sorry but I'm going to have to ask you some questions.

Danny: Questions? I swear on anything it's me!

[ Gallery ]

Missy: Humankind, bring out your dead.

Chang: Oh, my God. The tanks The tanks are activating! They're not supposed to do that.

The Doctor: And all your dead people are standing. Don't you think you skipped the headline?

Missy: Now, now, children. Naughty, naughty.

The Doctor: Doctor Chang, your welcome droid has developed a fault.

Chang: That's not a droid. That's my boss.

Missy: You know, I might have been guilty of a just teensy little fibette. Doctorr Chang, I really liked working with you. I've enjoyed every day of it.

Chang: I'm sorry?

Missy: You know, I've even got a little photograph of you looking so sweet. I'm always going to keep it. Always!

Chang: Are you going to k*ll me?

Missy: Now, come on. Let's not dwell on horrid things. This is going to be our last conversation, and I'm the one who's going to have to live with that.

Chang: Please don't k*ll me.

Missy: Say something nice.

Chang: Please, please. I don't, I don't want to die. You're going to k*ll me, aren't you?

Missy: Say something nice.

Chang: Please!

Missy: Doctor Chang, I've got all day. And I'm not going to k*ll you until you say something nice.

Chang: It has been an absolute pleasure working with you, and I truly believe that you'll never be able to find it in your heart to m*rder me.

Missy: Now, I'll be with you in a moment. Just feeling a bit emotional at the moment.

The Doctor: Cybermen!

[ Veranda ]

Danny: It's me. I, I swear on anything it's me.

Clara (O.C.): The very first restaurant you took me to. That first date. What was it called?

Danny: Clara, it's me.

[ Chang's office ]

Clara: Then what was the name of the restaurant? What was it?

[ Veranda ]

Danny: I can't remember!

[ Gallery ]

The Doctor: They're Cybermen, all of them. We've got to stop them getting out.

Missy: Now who's missing the headline? The Nethersphere. You know it's ever so funny, the people that live inside that think they've gone to heaven.

Clara (O.C.): My birthday. When is it?

[ Veranda ]

Danny: November twenty third. That's right, isn't it? I got that one right.

Clara (O.C.): It's pretty basic information. 'Anyone could know that. Say something only you could say.

[ Chang's office ]

Clara: Tell me something only Danny would know.

The Doctor: That's a matrix data-slice. A Gallifreyan hard drive. Time Lord technology.

Missy: Imagine you could upload dying minds to that. Edit them. Rearrange them. Get rid of all those boring emotions. Ready to be re-downloaded. Meanwhile, you upgrade the bodies.
Upload the mind, upgrade the body. Cybermen from cyberspace. Now, why has no-one ever thought of that before?

The Doctor: How did you get hold of Time Lord technology? Who are you?

Missy: You know who I am. I told you. You felt it. Surely you did.

The Doctor: Two hearts.

Missy: And both of them yours.

The Doctor: You're a Time Lord.

Missy: Time Lady, please, I'm old-fashioned.

The Doctor: Which Time Lady?

Missy: The one you abandoned, Doctor. The one you left for dead. Didn't you ever think I'd find my way back?

The Doctor: Clara. Clara. Clara. I've got to get Clara!

Missy: Oh, Clara, Clara, Clara! You know I should sh**t you in a jealous rage. Now, wouldn't that be sexy? I've turned the lift off, though.

The Doctor: I presume you have stairs.

Missy: Well, I'm not a Dalek.

Missy: Oh, dear, Doctor. Didn't you realise where you were?

Danny (O.C.): I love you.

Clara: No. No, no, no. I'm sorry, but no. Anybody could say that. Anybody would know to say that. Say something only you could tell me. Prove to me you are really Danny.

[ Veranda ]

Danny: How?

Clara: I love you means nothing right now.

[ Chang's office ]

Clara: Not until I know who's talking. Say something only Danny could say.

[ Veranda ]

Danny: Clara...

Clara (O.C.): Danny, if that is you

[ Chang's office ]

Clara: Wherever you are...

[ Veranda ]

Clara: Whatever it takes, I will be with you again, I swear.

Danny: No, you won't. You are not coming here.

Clara (O.C.): Nothing will stop me,

[ Chang's office ]

Clara: Nothing in the world, as soon as I know it's you.

Danny: There is only one way...

[ Veranda ]

Danny: To come here, and you are not doing that.

Clara (O.C.): I'll do anything, Danny, anything. Just say something only you could say.

Danny: Clara, you have your life. You have your whole life to live. You have to stay there.

Clara (O.C.): No. I have to be with Danny Pink.

Danny: I love you.

[ Chang's offfice ]

Clara: Stop saying that! Don't say that. If you say that again, I swear I will switch this thing off.

[ Veranda ]

Danny: Clara...

Clara (O.C.): Yes?

Danny: I love you.

Seb: These emotions, they're terribly difficult. But, you know, we've got a thing for that. We can help with all these difficult feelings. Just press this.

Seb: I'll leave you to make a decision.

Clara: Doctor!

[ St. Peter's Hill ]

The Doctor: Get away from here! All of you, run!

The Doctor: Go! Go! Get away from here! Run away! Run, run! Get away from here all of you, now!

Missy: I'm sorry, everyone. Another ranting Scotsman in the street. I had no idea there was a match on.

The Doctor: Get away, go!

Missy: Stop shouting, love. Stop making a fuss. It's too late. All the graves of planet Earth are about to give birth. You know the key strategic weakness of the human race? The dead outnumber the living.

The Doctor: Who are you?

Missy: Oh, you know who I am. I'm Missy.

The Doctor: Who's Missy?

Missy: Please, try to keep up. Short for Mistress. Well... I couldn't very well keep calling myself... the Master, now could I?

(Danny cries)
