09x02 - The Witch's Familiar

Post by bunniefuu »

Boy: Davros. My name is Davros.

The Doctor: Davros created a new kind of warrior. Davros made the Daleks. But who made Davros?

Boy: You said you'd help me!

Clara: Shame. You're ashamed.

Colony Sarff: Davros is dying. He has a message for the Doctor.

Missy: This is a trap.

( Hissing )

The Doctor: You brought me to Skaro!

Missy: This is the planet of the Daleks.

( Missy screams )

The Doctor: Clara!

Davros: You cannot help her now, Doctor. Compassion... is... wrong.


[ Planet surface ]

Missy: Consider the Doctor. The Doctor, trapped. The Doctor, alone. You all right there, dear?

Clara: Where are we? How did we?

Missy: Shh, now. Mummy's talking. OK, I'm going to tell you a story of the Doctor. It's classic. On the run, no TARDIS. No friends, no help. In other words, the Doctor, happy. It was a long time ago.

Missy: Doesn't matter which face he was wearing, they're all the Doctor to me. So let's give it to the eyebrows.

Clara: But the Daleks...

Missy: Yes, I'm coming to that.

Clara: Shouldn't we be, um...? I don't want to say dead.

Missy: Hush! He's travelling by teleporter. Unfortunately, his teleporter is out of power. Also unfortunate, he's being stalked by, oh, say about 50 android assassins? I may be rounding up.

Missy: Ow! 50 invisible, indestructible android assassins, all exclusively programmed to k*ll him.

Clara: Why are you sharpening that stick?

Missy: Well, I've no idea how long we're going to be stuck out here. Might have to go hunting.

Clara: So why am I tied up?

Missy: In case there's nothing to hunt.

Missy: The Doctor, then. Surrounded. Outnumbered. Outgunned. And freeze. Nanoseconds to live. Four, I'd say, being generous. Now, my question is this... How... did he... survive?

Missy: Oh, come on, Clara! You know him. Consider the Doctor.

Clara: Where did he get that teleport thingy?

Missy: Oh, good, good. He stole one from an android.

Clara: So, I'm guessing he uses the same energy as the android weapons, right?

Missy: Excellent! Not seeing you as sandwiches now.

Clara: OK, then. He uses the energy wave from the android weapons to recharge the teleport bracelet and at the exact moment he's supposed to disintegrate,

Clara: He actually teleports. Hang on, that's how you did it. That's how we escaped the Daleks.

Missy: I modified the same principle for our vortex manipulators, yes. Blew them off, I'm afraid. But the Doctor, he, he improvised it. He must have got through several thousand calculations in the time it takes to fire up a disintegrator. Seriously, what a swot!

Clara: So the androids think he's dead and the Doctor escapes.

( Thud )

Missy: No, he's the Doctor. He fell into a nest of vampire monkeys.

( Monkeys screech )

Missy: But that's another story!

Clara: Oh!

Missy: Why does the Doctor always survive?

Clara: Because he's clever.

Missy: Yes, but there's lots of clever dead people. I love k*lling clever clogs, they make the best faces.

Clara: Because he always assumes he's going to win. He always knows there's a way to survive. He just has to go and find it.

Missy: Yes, except this time, he made a will and threw himself a goodbye party. Now, if the Doctor assumes he's going to die, what happens then?

Clara: We do.

Missy: He's trapped at the heart of the Dalek empire. He's a prisoner of the creatures who hate him most in the universe. Between us and him is everything the deadliest race in all of history can throw at us. We, on the other hand, have a pointy stick. How do we start?

Clara: We assume we're going to win.

Missy: Oh. Pity, really. I was actually quite peckish.

Clara: Can I have a stick too?

Missy: Make your own stick.

[ Davros' room ]

Davros: It took me so very long to realise it was you, standing at the gates of my beginning. And here you are at the end.

Davros: But this time, I have you at my mercy. Exterminate.

Davros: Ancient. Inoperable.

The Doctor: Genius.

Davros: You would thr*aten a dying man? Have I not suffered enough?

The Doctor: Get out.

Davros: I cannot leave this chamber. It sustains me.

The Doctor: Get out!

[ Control room ]

Dalek: Alert! Alert! The infirmary is breached.

Dalek Supreme: Protect Davros. Davros must be assisted.

Dalek: Davros is leaving the infirmary.

Dalek Supreme: Davros must remain. Davros cannot leave.

Davros (O.C.): My children! Help me!

Dalek Supreme: You must return to the infirmary.

Davros (O.C.): The Doctor is escaping. Find him. Find the Doctor.

Dalek Supreme: Find the Doctor! Seek, locate, destroy!

[ Corridors ]

Daleks: Seek, locate, destroy. Seek, locate.

Battle Dalek: Exterminate the Doctor!

[ Planet surface ]

Daleks (O.C.): Exterminate the Doctor! Exterminate!

Clara: What's happening?

Missy: What do you think?

Clara: He's in the middle of that?

Missy: Ah, that's what we need.

[ Control room ]

Davros (O.C.): Assist me!

Dalek: Davros approaches.

Dalek Supreme: Admit Davros. Admit the creator.

Davros: Help me!

Dalek Supreme: Assist Davros. Assist.

The Doctor: Admit it. You've all had this exact nightmare.

[ Davros' room ]

Davros: Get me Sarff!

Colony Sarff: I am here.

[ Control room ]

The Doctor: So,anyone for dodgems?

Dalek Supreme: Exterminate!

Daleks: Exterminate! Exterminate!

[ Cave ]

Clara: Daleks have sewers?

Missy: With one significant difference.

Clara: Being?

Missy: They're ever so slightly alive.

Clara: They're what?

Missy: How much of a drop would you say that is? Can you see the bottom?

Clara: Too dark. Er, we could chuck a stone down, or something.

Missy: Oh yeah, good idea.

Clara: Oh!

( Clara screams

THUD! )


Missy: 20 feet.

[ Control room ]

( He slurps )

The Doctor: Of course, the real question is, where did I get the cup of tea? Answer? I'm the Doctor. Just accept it.

Dalek Supreme: You are unharmed.

The Doctor: Proposition. Davros is an insane, paranoid genius who has survived among several billion trigger-happy mini-tanks for centuries. Conclusion? I'm definitely having his chair.

Dalek Supreme: You cannot escape, Doctor.

The Doctor: I'm guessing his personal forcefield only works in one direction.

Dalek Supreme: The Doctor does not use weapons.

The Doctor: Doesn't he? Ah, listen to your little hearts b*at!

[ Sewers ]

Clara: Ah...

Missy: Hello.

Missy: Oh, poppet. Do you really think you could?

Clara: First chance I get.

Missy: You won't survive down here on your own.

Clara: You won't survive turning your back.

Missy: Ooo. How exciting.

Missy: God, you're dull.

Missy: In future, if you're going to take my stick, do me the courtesy of actually k*lling me. Team work is all about respect.

Clara: We're not a team.

Missy: Of course we are. Every miner needs a canary. Now, hush, look around. Bit of a mess, isn't it?

Clara: You said it was a sewer.

Missy: Daleks don't generate much in the way of waste.

Clara: So what is it all, then?

Missy: Decaying Daleks. Daleks can't die. Genetically hard-wired to keep on living, whatever happens. Well. But they still age, poor loves. Over time, the body breaks down, rots, liquefies. Interestingly, the Dalek word for sewer is the same as their word... ( Dalek shrieks ) .. for graveyard.

( Shrieking gets louder )

[ Control room ]

The Doctor: Ask me what I want.

Dalek Supreme: Irrelevant. You will not prevail. You will not succeed.

The Doctor: I've been at the heart of your empire for forty two minutes, and I own it, and I haven't even got out of my chair. Ask me what I want.

Dalek Supreme: What do you want?

The Doctor: Clara Oswald.

The Doctor (over intercom): I want Clara Oswald, safe, alive, and returned to me immediately. You bring her back. You do that. You do that now. Unharmed...

The Doctor: Unhurt... alive.

Dalek Supreme: Your associate...

The Doctor: I saw what happened. I was there. And I'm hoping, for all of our sakes, that it was a trick.

Dalek Supreme: It was not a deception.

The Doctor: Because if Clara Oswald is really dead, then you'd better be very, very careful how you tell me.

[ Sewers ]

Missy: Listen to that. The Doctor without hope.

The Doctor (O.C.): Who's going to tell me?

[ Control room ]

The Doctor: Who's going to go first?

[ Sewers ]

Missy: Nobody is safe now.

The Doctor (O.C.): All the power Davros had is mine.

[ Control room ]

The Doctor: Everything he had, I have.

[ Sewers ]

The Doctor (O.C.): Who's going to tell me that Clara Oswald is really dead?

Missy: He'll burn everything. Us too.

[ Control room ]

Dalek Supreme: Clara Oswald is not alive.

Davros: Doctor, this urge for conquest. It is gratifying to see you learn.

The Doctor: Davros. You're up. Sorry, this seat's taken.

Davros: Indeed. But not by you.

( Hissing )

Ugh! Argh...

Davros: You've met my Head of Personal Security, I think. Colony Sarff. His agents are everywhere.

[ Davros' room ]

Davros: Are you ready?

Colony Sarff: Of course.

Davros: Be subtle, Colony Sarff. Tonight, we entrap a Time Lord.

[ Sewers ]

Clara: What is that? A lift?

Missy: What? Never mind the lift. See that thing on the wall?

Clara: What about it?

Missy: Take a look.

Clara: What is it?

Missy: Closer.

Clara: What am I even looking for?

Missy: Nothing. I'm giving it a good look at you.

Dalek (O.C.): Intruder alert! Intruder alert!

( Alarms blare )


Clara: Why the hell did you do that?

Missy: Ever ring a doorbell and run away?

Dalek (O.C.): Humanoid detected in lower level.

Missy: Not this time.

Dalek (O.C.): Dalek to Lower Level Thirteen.

Clara: What the hell did you do that for?

Missy: We need to trap and k*ll a Dalek. You're the bait, I'm the hook.

Missy: Dark star alloy. Goes through armour plating like a Kn*fe through people.

Clara: Missy. Missy. Missy, uncuff me now!

Missy: It's pretty, though, isn't it? Got it in the olden days on Gallifrey. The Doctor gave it to me when my daughter...

( Lift clanks )

Missy: Keep it talking. We need to draw it out of the lift.

Clara: You can't k*ll a Dalek with a brooch.

Missy: Yes, you can. Yes, you can.

Dalek: Humanoid detected. Remain still. Do not move. Scan in progress. Humanoid unauthorised in restricted area.

Dalek: Sterilisation proceeding.

Missy: Hey, you! Guess what? ( Clanking, hissing ) I just put a hole in you.

Missy: And another and another. And another!

Clara: What are you doing?

Missy: Murdering a Dalek. I'm a Time Lady, it's our golf.

Dalek: Damage levels insignificant.

Missy: Oh, really? I think you're forgetting you're surrounded by a bunch of very old, very angry Daleks.

( Daleks screech )

Missy (in American accent): You just got yourself a puncture in a bad neighbourhood. Meet the locals? All blind and squelchy and out of their tiny minds, but they can still smell! Nobody hates like a Dalek. Here they come! I think they want to steal your motor.

Dalek: Emergency! Emergency! My vision is impaired.

Dalek: Exterminate! Exterminate!

Missy: Oh, here comes the older generation!

Missy: These young folks today are so tetchy!

Dalek: Emergency! Emergency!

(BOOM!)

Missy: Wheeeeeee!

[ Battleground ]

Young Davros: Help me! You can't leave me. You promised. You did! You said I could survive. You said you'd help me. Help me!

[ Davros' room ]

Davros: I hope you are grateful. It wasn't easy to procure. And very nearly unique, of course. You should feel privileged. The only other chair on Skaro.

Davros: Don't get up.

The Doctor: You neither.

Davros: The chamber is sealed, and I believe you are not carrying your sonic device.

The Doctor: I gave it up. Bad memories.

Davros: I am dying, Doctor.

The Doctor: You keep saying that, you keep not dying. Can you give it some welly? Come on.

Davros: And it is time for us to conclude our business together.

The Doctor: We have no business.

Davros: We have nothing but. Look again at the cables, Doctor. Understand what they are. What they can do. Just step a little closer.

[ Sewers ]

Missy: Get in.

[ Davros' room ]

The Doctor: They don't have much respect for you, do they? Your kids. Have you seen the state of this place? I mean, this is exactly where you dump a smelly old uncle / family pet / genius scientist who couldn't even invent legs. Seriously, how do your boys take it when everybody else has got two eyes?

Davros: You know what it is, of course.

The Doctor: Oh, yes. It's a hyperspace relay, with some kind of a genetic component.

Davros: I am connected to the life force of every Dalek on this planet. It is what has kept me alive. As their hearts b*at, so does mine.

The Doctor: Ooh... Nice. Vampiring off your own creations, just to eke out your days. I'm surprised the Daleks allow it.

Davros: Oh, they have no choice. My Daleks are afflicted with a genetic defect.

The Doctor: What defect?

Davros: Respect. Mercy for their father. Design flaws I was unable to eliminate. And now he sees it. Now he understands. The cables, Doctor. Touch them. Imagine, to hold in your hand the heartbeat of every Dalek on Skaro. They send me life. Is it beyond the wit of a Time Lord to send them death? A little work and it could be done.

The Doctor: Er, why would you be telling me this?

Davros: Genocide in a moment. Such slaughter, not in self-defence. Not as a simple act of w*r. Genocide as a choice. Are you ready, Doctor? So many backs with a single Kn*fe.

Davros: Are you ready to be a god?

Davros: Why do you hesitate? No one would know. Clara Oswald is dead. Is this the conscience of the Doctor, or his shame? The shame that brought you here.

The Doctor: There's no such thing as the Doctor. I'm just a bloke in a box, telling stories. And I didn't come here because I'm ashamed. A bit of shame never hurt anyone. I came because you're sick and you asked. And because sometimes, on a good day, if I try very hard, I'm not some old Time Lord who ran away. I'm the Doctor.

Davros: Compassion then.

The Doctor: Always.

Davros: It grows strong and fierce in you, like a cancer.

The Doctor: I hope so.

Davros: It will k*ll you in the end.

The Doctor: I wouldn't die of anything else.

Davros: You may rely on it.

[ Sewers ]

Clara: How am I supposed to make it go? Are there pedals?

Missy: Telepathic control. Open wide.

Missy: I meant your skull. Never mind...

( Beeping )

Clara: Ow!

Missy: Shh, shh, now, don't worry.

Clara: Ow.

Missy: There's loads of nano-tech repairing any damage as the feed goes in.

Clara: What about when it comes out?

Missy: No idea. Nobody knows. Anyway, to control the unit, you just have to think. Novel idea for you, but let's try it. Move forwards.

Clara: I don't know how to...

( Clara gasps )

Missy: You see?

Clara: Oh! How did I do that?

Missy: Circle right.

Clara: I can't...

Missy: Circle left. There you go. All right, this won't hurt a bit.

Clara: Hang on. No, Missy. No, no, no, no! No, Missy. Missy, no, no, no, please don't! Don't, don't, please!

Missy: Are you OK?

[ Inside the Dalek ]

Clara: Fine, I think.

[ Sewers ]

Dalek: Fine, I think.

Clara: OK.

Clara in Dalek: OK. That's a bit weird.

Missy: Just a bit. OK. All right. Shh. Say your name.

Clara in Dalek: Why?

Missy: Just just say. Just say it.

Clara: Clara.

Clara in Dalek: Dalek.

Missy: Say it again.

Clara: Clara Oswald.

Clara in Dalek: Dalek. Dalek.

Missy: One more time.

Clara: I am Clara Oswald! I'm Clara Oswald!

Clara in Dalek: I am a Dalek! I am a Dalek! I am a Dalek! I am a Dalek!

( Missy laughs )

Missy: Whoa! Just... don't get emotional. Emotion fires the g*n. OK?

Clara: I don't understand.

Clara in Dalek: I do not understand.

Missy: Say... "I love you." Those exact words. Don't ask me why, just say it.

Clara: I love you.

Clara in Dalek: Exterminate.

( Missy laughs )

Missy: Say, "You are different from me."

Clara: You are different from me.

Clara in Dalek: Exterminate! Exterminate!

Missy: Say, "Ex-ter-min-ate!"

Clara: Exterminate!

Clara in Dalek: Exterminate!

( Missy cackles )

Clara in Dalek: Exterminate! Exterminate! Exterminate! Exterminate!

Missy: Cybermen suppress emotion. Daleks channel it through a g*n. That's why they keep yelling exterminate. It's how they reload. So, let's go and k*ll them. Come on.

[ Davros' room ]

Davros: There is a question, Doctor. One I have longed to ask.

The Doctor: Yeah, well, if you're going to put your hand on my knee, it isn't going to go well.

Davros: Why did you leave Gallifrey?

The Doctor: Well, because I did.

Davros: You stole the TARDIS, and ran and ran. Why?

The Doctor: It's a boring place, Gallifrey. I was going out of my mind.

Davros: Yet you long to return.

The Doctor: Ah, well, I'm inconsistent.

Davros: But it is always the same lie.

The Doctor: What lie?

Davros: You weren't bored. No one runs the way you have run for so small a reason.

The Doctor: I do.

Davros: No, you don't. Colony Sarff confiscated these items on your arrival.

Davros: A Time Lord confession dial, I believe. Your confession. Tell me. Send me to my grave with this precious knowledge. What is the Doctor's confession?

The Doctor: Don't you dare!

Davros: Is it possible I have touched a nerve?

The Doctor: Some things matter to me, Davros. Not many, but a few. And you don't put your fingers anywhere near them.

The Doctor: And they'd better not be scratched. These are my best ones.

Davros: Still you play the fool.

The Doctor: Well, by now that should make you nervous.

[ Corridor ]

Dalek: Halt! Report.

Clara: Humanoid intrud...

Clara in Dalek: Humanoid intruder found on lower levels.

Dalek: Why has the intruder not been exterminated? Explain. Explain. Explain!

Missy: I'm a prisoner of special significance. Count the hearts.

Dalek: You are a Time Lord?

Missy: Time Lady, thank you. Some of us can afford the upgrade. Is it still the same old Supreme Dalek these days? I fought him once on the slopes of the Never Vault. Tell him the bitch is back.

[ Davros' room ]

Davros: Make your confession, Doctor. Why did you really leave Gallifrey?

The Doctor: How long has it been, you and I?

Davros: Long enough. Galaxies have b*rned.

The Doctor: And now you ask me a personal question?

Davros: You have slaughtered billions of my children, as I have slaughtered billions of your race. We have exhausted the conventional means of communication.

The Doctor: My people are alive. They didn't die. I brought them back. I found a way.

Davros: Is this true?

The Doctor: Gallifrey is back in the sky. I don't know where, I may never know. But Gallifrey is back and it is safe from both of us.

Davros: Doctor, my most sincere congratulations.

The Doctor: I'm sorry?

Davros: This is wonderful news. Beyond all hope. I congratulate you.

The Doctor: Why are you saying that?

Davros: A man should have a race, a people, an allegiance. A man should belong, Doctor. Believe me, please. I am happy for you. So happy.

The Doctor: I don't, I don't understand this. Why are you...

Davros: Come closer again. Let me see your face.

The Doctor: You've seen it often enough.

Davros: Let me see it again with my own eyes.

( Beeping )

( Laboured breathing )


Davros: Closer, please.

Davros: If you have redeemed the Time Lords from the fire, do not lose them again. Take the darkest path into the deepest hell, but protect your own as I have sought to protect mine. Did I do right, Doctor? Tell me.

Davros: Was I right? I need to know before the end. Am I a good man?

The Doctor: You really are dying, aren't you?

Davros: Look at me. Did you doubt it?

The Doctor: Yes.

Davros: Then we have established one thing only.

The Doctor: What?

Davros: You are not... a good doctor.

( They chuckle )

( Laboured breathing )


Davros: Pity. I had hoped to see the sun one last time with the eyes of my true self.

[ Control room ]

Missy: Oh, hello! Look at you all, with your nice, shiny domes. Oh, I am loving this. You're my secret favourite. Don't tell the others.

Dalek Supreme: You are an enemy of the Daleks.

Missy: Yes, well, anyone who's not a Dalek is an enemy of the Daleks, so that was an easy guess.

Dalek Supreme: You will be exterminated.

Missy: Please, please do, because I have been on my feet all day.

Missy: But before you get all exterminate-y, two things. One, I want to see Davros. Two, I have a lovely little gift for you all, if you take me to him right now.

Dalek Supreme: We do not negotiate.

Missy: Clara Oswald. I brought you complete control of the Doctor, gift-wrapped. Better. Canned.

[ Davros' room ]

Davros: It is beautiful, my world, is it not?

The Doctor: How did you get it back?

Davros: The Daleks remade it. Like you, they have a strong concept of home.

The Doctor: No, like you. Everything you are, they are.

Davros: Like both of us, perhaps. How far we have come to go home again.

The Doctor: I'm trying to pep this up, but you've been going a long time. Every Dalek on Skaro isn't enough any more.

Davros: It is so good of you to help me.

The Doctor: I'm not helping you. I'm helping a little boy I abandoned on a b*ttlefield. I think I owe him a sunrise.

The Doctor: Come on, chin up.

( Davros moans softly )

The Doctor: Any minute now...

Davros: I have always admired you, Doctor.

The Doctor: Here it comes.

Davros: I wish, just once, we had been on the same side.

The Doctor: Look, the sun's coming up. We're on the same side now.

Davros: I regret I cannot open my eyes.

( Davros gasps )

The Doctor: OK, don't ever tell anyone that I did this.

The Doctor: A little bit of regeneration energy. Probably cost me an arm or a leg somewhere down the line. Or I'll just be really little.

( Davros chuckles )

The Doctor: Should be enough, just to...

( He screams )

Davros: Hold him firm, Colony Sarff. He is precious to us now.

( He gasps and groans )

The Doctor: What are you doing?

Davros: Regeneration energy. The ancient magic of the Time Lords. I thought I would have to tear you apart to take it from you but, as always, your compassion is your downfall.

The Doctor: No! No! No, please! No!

Davros: You have opened your veins of your own free will, and all Daleks shall drink the blood of Gallifrey. They shall rise stronger than ever.

( He screams )

[ Control room ]

Dalek Supreme: Where is Clara Oswald? You will tell us! You will tell us! You will tell us...

( Power drops )

Missy: I'm sorry. Was I, er, was I boring you?

Missy: No. No, no, no, no, Doctor. What have you done?

Clara: What's happening?

Clara in Dalek: What is happening?

Missy: I have to find the Doctor.

Clara: No!

Clara in Dalek: Exterminate!

Clara: No!

Clara in Dalek: Exterminate!

Clara: Please, you can't just leave me here. Please!

[ Davros' room ]

Davros: There was a prophecy, Doctor, on your own world.

The Doctor: Please you must, you must stop this. You must stop this!

Davros: It spoke of a hybrid creature. Two great warrior races forced together to create a warrior greater than either. Is that what you ran from, Doctor? Your part in the coming of the hybrid? Half Dalek, half Time Lord?

[ Corridor ]

Missy: Give me your g*n!

[ Davros' room ]

The Doctor: Stop!

( He screams )

( Hissing )

( Hissing stops )

( Power surges )


[ Control room ]

Dalek Supreme: We are renewed. We are more powerful. The experiment has succeeded. All praise Davros.

Daleks chant: All praise Davros! All praise Davros!

( Chanting continues )

[ Davros' room ]

Missy: Morning.

The Doctor: Where's Clara?

Missy: Oh, hello to you, too.

The Doctor: You're alive, so she is too. Where is she?

Missy: I'm fine, thanks for asking.

Davros: Oh, you are not fine. Thanks to you, Doctor, my creations shall grow to yet greater supremacy, and my own life is prolonged. This is the final defeat of the Time Lords. Have you nothing to say, Doctor?

The Doctor: Three.

Davros: Do you understand what has happened? Hear my children sing.

The Doctor: Two.

Missy: Oh, I know that face.

Davros: All praise Davros, creator and saviour of the Daleks.

The Doctor: One.

( Loud rumbling )

Davros: What is that? What's happening?

[ Control room ]

Dalek Supreme: We are under att*ck. Explain! Explain!

[ Davros' room ]

The Doctor: I knew exactly what you were doing, and I let you do it. You transmitted regeneration energy into every Dalek on this planet. Every single one.

Davros: What have you done?

The Doctor: One word. Er, no, two words, actually. First word, moron.

( She sniggers )

The Doctor: Second word, sewers.

[ Control room ]

Dalek: Emergency! What is happening? Power is fluctuating!

[ Davros' room ]

Davros: No. This cannot be correct. How can this be?

The Doctor: Generations of Daleks just woke up very cross, and they are coming up the pipes. Or to put it another way, bye!

Davros: Doctor, you must help me.

Missy: Can I just say, it's been an absolute pleasure to finally meet you?

( He gasps )

Missy: Doctor!

[ Control room ]

Dalek: My vision is impaired. I cannot see.

Dalek Supreme: Alert. I cannot control.

[ Corridor ]

Clara in Dalek: Doctor!

The Doctor: This city is about to be sucked into the ground. Your own sewer is about to consume you. There's no way you can win, there is nothing you can do, so just tell me, where is Clara Oswald?

Clara in Dalek: I am a Dalek.

The Doctor: Yes, you're a Dalek. Where is Clara?

Clara in Dalek: I am a Dalek.

The Doctor: Yes, I know that you're a Dalek. Where is Clara Oswald?

Clara: It's me, I'm right here! It's me, I'm in here! It's Clara!

Clara in Dalek: I am a Dalek! I am a Dalek!

Missy: Doctor, stop! It's you, isn't it? I mean, no offence, you all look alike, but it is it is you?

Clara: Yes, it's me, it's me. I'm right here.

Clara in Dalek: Affirmative.

Missy: Clara's dead, Doctor. This is the one that k*lled her.

Clara in Dalek: Do not listen to her. I am a Dalek, I am a Dalek.

Missy: I got her out of the city, but this one caught us and sh*t her down. There was nothing I could do, I'm afraid.

Clara in Dalek: I am a Dalek.

Missy: She ran. She screamed. I'm so glad you didn't have to see that.

Clara in Dalek: I am a Dalek. I am a Dalek.

Missy: This one's a mad one, isn't it? I mean, it's almost like, like it's proud.

Clara in Dalek: I am a Dalek. I am a Dalek. I am a Dalek!

Missy: k*ll it, Doctor. They're all going to die anyway. Indulge yourself. Go on, k*ll the Dalek.

Clara in Dalek: Do not k*ll me! Do not k*ll me!

The Doctor: Is Clara dead?

Clara: No! Doctor, no! I'm not dead, I'm in here! Can you hear me?

Clara in Dalek: I am a Dalek. I am alive.

Clara: I'm your friend. I'm your friend!

Clara in Dalek: I am your enemy. Your enemy.

Clara: No, please, don't.

Clara in Dalek: Mercy. Mercy.

The Doctor: You shouldn't be able to say that.

Clara in Dalek: Mercy.

The Doctor: That word shouldn't exist in your vocabulary. How did Davros teach you to say that?

Clara in Dalek: Mercy.

The Doctor: Why aren't you trying to k*ll me?

Clara in Dalek: Mercy.

Clara: Because I would never k*ll you. You are the last person I would ever k*ll.

Clara in Dalek: I show mercy.

The Doctor: I'm putting the g*n down. Open your casing.

Clara: How?

Clara in Dalek: How?

The Doctor: Just think the word "open". It'll work.

Missy: Oh, look at that. Now, there's a surprise.

The Doctor: Missy, run.

Clara: Oh, Doctor...

Missy: In a way, this is why I gave her to you in the first place. To make you see. The friend inside the enemy, the enemy inside the friend.

The Doctor: I'm sorry, Clara. I'm so sorry!

Missy: Everyone's a bit of both. Everyone's a hybrid.

The Doctor: I said, run.

Missy: It wasn't me who ran, Doctor. That was always you.

[ Control room ]

Dalek Supreme: Emergency! Dalek control is compromised.

The Doctor: Where was the TARDIS? It was over there somewhere, wasn't it?

Dalek Supreme: What is happening? Explain! Explain!

The Doctor: Dalek Supreme, your sewers are revolting.

Dalek Supreme: You will assist, or you will be exterminated.

The Doctor: Oh, well, go on, then. Exterminate away.

Clara: Doctor!

The Doctor: Oops, sorry. TARDIS force field is still here. We get in, you don't.

Dalek Supreme: The TARDIS has been destroyed.

The Doctor: Ah, don't be silly, of course it hasn't. It just redistributed itself for a moment. Hostile Action Dispersal System. I'll give it a quick blast from my sonic, and the real time envelope will reassemble right here.

Clara: Doctor, you don't have your screwdriver.

The Doctor: Oh, yeah, I'm over screwdrivers. They spoil the line of your jacket. These days, I'm all about wearable technology.

Clara: No! No? Seriously?

Dalek Supreme: What is happening?

The Doctor: Oh, same old, same old. Just the Doctor and Clara Oswald in the TARDIS.

( Metallic thrumming )

[ Corridor ]

Daleks: Humanoid detected. Humanoid detected. Remain still. Do not move. Do not move. You are a Time Lord.

( She gasps )

Missy: You know what? I've just had a very clever idea.

[ Planet surface ]

( Distant explosions )

( Wind whistles )


Clara: No chance you're going to tell me what's in that confession dial, I suppose?

Clara: Hmm.

The Doctor: It doesn't make sense.

Clara: What doesn't?

The Doctor: When you were in the Dalek, you made it say "mercy". It shouldn't have understood the concept, it shouldn't have been able to say it. How did a tiny piece of mercy get into the DNA of the Daleks?

Clara: Doctor?

[ b*ttlefield ]

Young Davros: Help me! You can't leave me, you promised. You said I had a chance.

( Metallic thrumming )

Young Davros: Who are you? I don't get it. How did you get there?

The Doctor: From the future.

Young Davros: Are you going to save me?

The Doctor: I'm going to save my friend the only way I can. Exterminate!

The Doctor: Come on, I'll take you home.

Young Davros: Which side are you on? Are you the enemy?

The Doctor: I'm not sure that any of that matters, friends, enemies. So long as there's mercy. Always mercy.
