Transcript: 8x12 Death in Heaven
Wow, I am really cooking with these! I pan to do the Christmas special and then take a break. I might return to Psych transcripts. Please Enjoy!
Recap of 8x11 “Dark Water”
INT. 3W, OFFICE, DAY
The CYBERMAN that had been in the tank crosses the floor and stops when it spots CLARA. She stands from her position behind the desk.
CLARA:
Stop! You can't kill me!
CYBERMAN:
Incorrect.
CLARA:
I'm a target of strategic value. Alive, I'm a tactical advantage. Dead, I'm your biggest mistake. You don't know who I am!
CYBERMAN:
(scans her from chest unit) You are Clara Oswald. You are human. You are unimportant.
CLARA:
(approaches the CYBERMAN) Incorrect. (backs away) You see, THAT is what you're supposed to think. THAT is what everybody thinks.
CYBERMAN:
You are Clara Oswald.
CLARA:
Clara Oswald is a cover story - a disguise. There is NO Clara Oswald.
CYBERMAN:
Identify.
CLARA:
Oh, don't be so slow, it's embarrassing. (walks right up to CYBERMAN) Who could fool you like this? Who could hide right under your nose? Who could change their face any time they want? Hmm! (backs away) You see, I'm not Clara Oswald. Clara Oswald has never existed.
CYBERMAN:
Identify.
CLARA:
I'm the Doctor.

EXT. LONDON, PETER’S HILL, DAY
The DOCTOR and MISSY stand in the middle of the pedestrian area surrounded by still CYBERMEN. The public treat them like some tourist attraction, taking pictures and videos.
MISSY:
Look at them! My boys!
DOCTOR:
Cybermen, in broad daylight? You think people won't notice?
MISSY:
(takes off her hat and puts it on the pavement in front of a Cyberman) Photos with the big metal men - one pound!
With the invitation, more people take pictures. The DOCTOR just looks around, disbelieving.
MISSY:
Oh, honey!
The people take selfies and comment on how cool it is. MISSY takes out a device and shows the DOCTOR that there are Cybermen all over the world.
MISSY:
New York. Paris. Rome. Marrakech. Brisbane. Glasgow. Everywhere. Anywhere. Me and my boys. We're going viral.
MISSY prepares to take a selfie but OSGOOD approaches.
OSGOOD:
Would you like me to take a picture? Sorry, selfies are never as good, are they? And you're having a lovely moment. (grabs MISSY’S device) Hang on!
MISSY:
No, just...
DOCTOR:
(grips MISSY’S arms) Nice bow tie.
OSGOOD:
Bow ties are cool. Big smiles, and... now!
UNIT soldiers and agents appear from the crowd and surround the Cybermen.
SOLDIER:
Move, move, move! Stand by. Surround target. Hold back!
KATE STEWART walks up with more soldiers.
KATE:
Afternoon. You've picked a lovely day for it. My, don't you look shiny! (to DOCTOR) Haircut?
DOCTOR:
Bit of a trim.
KATE:
Might want to do your roots. (to SOLDIER) The woman.
SOLDIER:
Yes, ma'am.
Soldiers take hold of MISSY and lead her away.
KATE:
(faces Cybermen) Kate Stewart. Divorcee, mother of two, keen gardener, outstanding bridge player. Also, chief scientific officer, Unified Intelligence Taskforce - who currently have you surrounded.
CYBERMAN:
Human weaponry is not effective against Cyber technology.
KATE:
(throws classic Cyberman head on ground) Sorry, you left this behind on one of your previous attempts.
A soldier pushes a bewildered DOCTOR forward so he stands next to KATE.
KATE:
So now that I have your attention, welcome to the only planet in the universe where we get to say this. He's on the payroll.
DOCTOR:
Am I?
KATE:
Well, technically.
DOCTOR:
How much?
KATE:
Shh! (to CYBERMAN) Any questions?
The Cybermen salute, pressing their hands to the blue light in the middle of their chest units. They then activate the rockets in their feet.
DOCTOR:
Back, back, everyone, back!
UNIT personnel back away as the Cybermen take off into the sky. MISSY smirks. The dome of St Paul’s opens like a lotus.
OSGOOD:
Oh, my God! Is it supposed to do that? Is that new?
DOCTOR:
A sun roof on St Paul's?! Yes, I'd say that was new!
Cybermen fly out of the dome and into the sky.
KATE:
There's going to be mass panic. Everyone in London can see that.
DOCTOR:
Everyone in London just clapped and went "whee"! Hush, I'm trying to count.
OSGOOD:
87, I think. OCD.
MISSY:
91. Queen of evil.
KATE:
How could St Paul's be full of 91 Cybermen and nobody noticed?
DOCTOR:
Dimensional engineering - one space folded inside another. Bigger on the inside. (turns to face MISSY) Easy if you're a Time Lord.
OSGOOD:
Mostly deploying south, a smaller number east.
DOCTOR:
Yep, but one straight up.
OSGOOD:
So 91 isn't a coincidence?
DOCTOR:
(takes MISSY’S device from OSGOOD) Of course it isn't.
KATE:
Osgood? 91 - explain.
OSGOOD:
91 areas of significant population density in the British Isles.
DOCTOR:
(looks at a map on device) That's one Cyberman for every city and major town. It's happening everywhere, all over the world, right now!
MISSY:
Sweet planet, this. I think I might keep it.
KATE:
One Cyberman per city. What could they hope to accomplish?
OSGOOD is looking skyward, screening her eyes from the sun with her hand.
OSGOOD:
Doctor! (points)
There is an explosion in the sky above the cathedral dome.
KATE:
Has it exploded?
MISSY:
More than that. Cybermen don't just blow themselves up for no good reason, dear - they're not human.
DOCTOR:
If it isn't exploding, what's it doing?
MISSY:
Pollinating. Falling like rain into the cracks of the Earth.
INT. 3W, GALLERY, DAY
The camera pans up past the empty tanks to the Nethersphere.
NETHERSPHERE, BALCONY
DANNY is standing at the rail with the BOY he killed when a soldier. The door open and SEB joins them. The lights around them are starting to go out.
SEB:
Well, this IS a bit exciting!
DANNY:
What's happening?
SEB:
Well, to cut a long story short, it looks like we might all be going home.
DANNY:
Home? From the afterlife?
SEB:
Well, when I said "afterlife", I was being a tiny bit poetic. And Nethersphere is just a cool name we came up with during a spit-ball.
DANNY:
What is this place?
SEB:
Well, you have to think of it as a data cloud. You know, for storing data. In this case, it's the storage of recently deceased minds.
DANNY:
We're in a cloud?
SEB:
A sort of cloud, yeah.
DANNY:
And what's happening to it?
SEB:
What happens to any cloud when it starts to rain?
DANNY:
Are you telling me we're going back? What, back to our bodies?
SEB:
And the extra good news is... there's been a bit of an upgrade.
EXT. LONDON, PETER’S HILL, DAY
MISSY:
The dead are coming home, Doctor. All shiny and new. In 24 hours the human race as you know it will cease to exist.
DOCTOR:
What are you doing? Explain. Tell me now!
One of the soldiers injects a sedative into MISSY’S neck.
MISSY:
Oh! That was nice, must do it again.
She falls backwards and two soldiers drag her away.
DOCTOR:
No. No, no, no, no, I need to talk to her! I need her awake. (tranq dart to the neck) Agh! No. No, no, stupid! (pulls dart from neck) Stupid! No, no! Agh!
The DOCTOR falls to his knees and then to the pavement. OSGOOD kneels beside him.
KATE: (into phone)
The first protocol is implemented. We're good to go.
OSGOOD:
You just have to let it take you.
The DOCTOR grabs OSGOOD’S lapel and pulls her down before whispering in her ear. KATE sees this.
KATE:
What did he say?
OSGOOD:
(stands) He said, "Guard the graveyards."
EXT. CEMETERY, DAY
A dark thundercloud forms over the cemetery. People are outside the gates staring in.
TEEN BOY:
That's weird. Look at that!
It starts to rain but only inside the graveyard.
TEEN BOY:
How come it's only raining INSIDE the graveyard?
EXT. CITY, DAY
A rivulet of rain comes out from under the cemetery gate. Water runs along the gutter and down into the sewer drain. Water rises up through a grate on the pavement and down to the door of a funeral home.
INT. CHAPLET FUNERAL HOME, PREP ROOM, DAY
The MORTICIAN has the TV on and there is a report on the Cybermen.
ANCHOR:
'We are being told that these metal men are known as Cybermen, but unlike the accounts we have on file, they now have the ability to fly. Similar reports are coming in from all over the world. Flying Cybermen are here on a global scale. Ministers are telling us...'
He steps down from his stool and the floor is covered in water.
ANCHOR:
'.. to remain calm. These Cybermen don't seem to be attacking us, at least not in any conventional fashion. Eyewitnesses have reported seeing them flying in the sky...'
He checks the ceiling for a leak. There is water going up into one of the refrigeration drawers. There is a banging from inside a number of the drawers.
MORTICIAN:
Hello? Hello?
The banging continues and then the body on the table rises. Through the covering we see the blue light of a chest unit and then the Cyberman pulls off the tarp. The MORTICIAN runs away. The Cyberman steps down off the table and then sees itself in a mirror. It reaches a hand out and then up to its face. A hand pulls a report from a clipboard. It bears the name “Danny Pink”.
INT. HANGAR, DAY
The TARDIS is in the process of being lifted into the awaiting plane.
MAN:
Right. Be careful with it. Be careful. Take your time.
The DOCTOR is handcuffed upright to a dolly for easy transport. A medic gives him a shot in the neck and he comes to with a start.
DOCTOR:
Kate? What's with the handcuffs?
KATE:
(walks over) I'm sorry. In the event of an alien incursion on this scale, protocols are in place. Your co-operation is to be ensured and your unreliability assumed. You have a history.
DOCTOR:
You don't have a future without me! Do you think your father would've done this?
KATE:
We both know he absolutely would.
The DOCTOR is uncuffed and he steps down just as MISSY is wheeled by on another dolly.
KATE:
Who is she?
DOCTOR:
Long story. Where's Clara?
KATE:
Clara Oswald, your assistant?
DOCTOR:
My friend. She was with me in St Paul's.
KATE:
The team's still on site but they've been unable to gain access to the building.
DOCTOR:
I want her found and brought here. I need her with me.
They climb the stairs to the plane.
KATE:
Then give the order. As soon as you're on board Boat One your word is law. Quite literally.
DOCTOR:
(stops midway and looks around) You got the TARDIS out, then?
KATE:
Yes, and St Paul's locked down.
They enter the plane.
INT. PLANE, MAIN CABIN, DAY
The main cabin has a long conference table going down the center and monitors are hanging from the ceiling. The DOCTOR follows KATE and OSGOOD walks down the other side.
DOCTOR:
Where are we going? Cloudbase?
KATE:
You mean the Valiant?
OSGOOD:
Cloudbase was Thunderbirds.
KATE:
Too conspicuous. We need your location concealed, not advertised. From now on you're a moving target.
KATE and OSGOOD study a monitor hanging on the bulkhead. To the right of it hangs a portrait of Brigadier Sir Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart.
DOCTOR:
Ah, I see you're bringing Daddy along, too. That's very sweet.
An Indian (Pakistani?) officer salutes the DOCTOR.
OFFICER:
Sir!
DOCTOR:
Oh, don't do that. You look like you're self-concussing, which would explain all of military history, now I think about it.
OFFICER:
Colonel Ahmed, sir. Privileged to meet you.
DOCTOR:
Love your outfit, Colonel Ahmed. Are you in the Scouts? Are you a Man Scout? I didn't know they had those. (walks away)
OSGOOD passes AHMED.
AHMED:
It was Captain Scarlet.
OSGOOD:
Sorry?
AHMED:
Not Thunderbirds.
OSGOOD:
Oh, God, so it was!
DOCTOR:
My confidence is growing every minute. (fixes a cup of tea)
KATE: (over phone)
The President is on board.
DOCTOR:
Mind you, me and Sylvia Anderson, you've never seen a foxtrot like it. Hang on a second. The President? We don't want Americans bobbing around the place. (sits at table) They'll only start praying.
AHMED:
Not the President of America, sir. The President of Earth.
DOCTOR:
There isn't one. (loads tea with sugar)
AHMED:
There is now.
KATE:
The incursion protocols have been agreed internationally. In the event of full-scale invasion, an Earth president is inducted immediately, with complete authority over every nation state. There was only one practical candidate.
DOCTOR:
That's your answer for everything, isn't it? Vote for an idiot. (lifts cup to his mouth)
KATE:
If you say so, Mr President(!) So long as you're on this plane, you're the Commander-in-Chief of every army on Earth. Every world leader is currently awaiting your instructions. You are the Chief Executive Officer of the human race. Any questions?
The DOCTOR looks around the cabin, mouth open, stunned.
CAPTAIN:
'This is your captain speaking. Please prepare for take-off.'
INT. 3W, GALLERY, DAY
CLARA faces three Cybermen in front of empty tanks.
CLARA:
Well, gentlemen. Where to start? I was born on the planet Gallifrey, in the constellation of Kasterborous. I'm a Time Lord, but my Prydonian privileges were revoked when I stole a time capsule and ran away. Currently piloting a Type 40 TARDIS. Married four times, all deceased. My children and grandchildren are missing, and I assume, dead. I have a non-Gallifreyan daughter, created via genetic transfer. How much more do you need? I'm the Doctor!
CYBERMAN:
This information is not proof. We require proof.
CLARA:
How about my name?
CYBERMAN:
Explain.
CLARA:
Well, my name isn't "Doctor", is it? I don't even really have a doctorate. Well, Glasgow University, but then I accidentally graduated in the wrong century, so technically...
CYBERMAN:
This information cannot be confirmed. You are Clara Oswald.
CLARA:
Ah, no! I'm not!
A fourth Cyberman arrives behind CLARA.
CYBERMAN 2:
Your deception is intended to prolong your life.
CYBERMAN:
Your presence has not been ordered.
CYBERMAN 2:
Correct. You are Clara Oswald.
CLARA:
Oh, seriously, this is getting old. Look, there is no Clara Oswald. I invented her. I made her up.
CYBERMAN 2:
Born 23rd November, 1986.
CLARA:
Yeah, I chose that date. Always liked it.
CYBERMAN 2:
Father - David James Oswald. Mother - Elena Alison Oswald.
CLARA:
Stories. Stories. Stories. I made them up. Look, ask anybody who knows me. I am an incredible liar.
CYBERMAN 2:
(lowers head) Correct.
CYBERMAN 2 raises a hand to CLARA’S temple and shoots energy at her head. She falls to the floor.
CYBERMAN:
No order was given.
CYBERMAN 2:
Correct.
CYBERMAN:
You are not under Cyber control.
CYBERMAN 2:
(shoots the others) Correct.
In CYBERMAN 2’s other hand we see the crumbled paper from the funeral home. It’s DANNY.
INT. PLANE, CARGO HOLD
The hold has been converted in OSGOOD’S lab. MISSY wakes with a gasp. She is still on the dolly. The DOCTOR is right there in her face.
DOCTOR:
Why are you still alive?
MISSY:
You saved me!
DOCTOR:
I saved Gallifrey.
MISSY:
Yes, Gallifrey too, I suppose. There's always collateral damage with you and me. It's our Paris.
DOCTOR:
Gallifrey's lost in another dimension.
MISSY:
Yes and no.
We see this is where the TARDIS is. There are also two soldiers behind MISSY.
DOCTOR:
Meaning?
MISSY:
Yes, it's in another dimension. No, it's not lost.
DOCTOR:
You know where it is?
MISSY:
Yep! You know the best part about knowing? (whispers)
Not... telling... you!
AHMED: (over speaker)
'Mr President, sir, we're ready for you up here.'
DOCTOR:
Remember all those years, when all you wanted to do was to rule the world? (answers AHMED) On my way.
AHMED: (over speaker)
'Thank you, Mr President.'
DOCTOR:
Piece of cake!
At her desk, OSGOOD is working on MISSY’S device. The DOCTOR walks over.
OSGOOD:
Oh, erm. It's her little device thingy. I thought there might be useful information on it. Who is she?
DOCTOR:
You'd never believe me if I told you.
OSGOOD:
Cos I thought she might be the Master, regenerated into female form. Your childhood friend, responsible for a number of previous incursions.
DOCTOR:
That was fairly quick.
OSGOOD:
We do have files on all our ex-prime ministers. She wasn't even the worst. Doctor, there's something nobody's talking about.
DOCTOR:
Which is?
OSGOOD:
The clouds caused by the exploding Cybermen - they haven't dispersed, they're still there. In fact, they've expanded and are covering almost all the land masses. We're all looking at the graveyards. Maybe we should be looking up. What do you think?
The DOCTOR looks at OSGOOD thoughtfully before walking away.
DOCTOR:
All of time and space.
OSGOOD:
(spins around) Sorry?
DOCTOR:
Just something for your bucket list. (climbs the ladder)
OSGOOD smiles before taking a puff from her inhaler. MISSY watches the exchange thoughtfully. MISSY works on her handcuffs.
INT. PLANE, MAIN CABIN, DAY
A news report is playing on the monitors. The DOCTOR is seated at the head of the table.
ANCHOR:
'.. localised rain in the cemeteries has resulted in what can only be described as "disturbances" to the soil. Extraordinary eyewitness accounts are claiming that silver creatures are climbing from the graves...'
KATE:
These scenes are being repeated everywhere, every cemetery, every mortuary, every funeral home, every hospital - the dead are returning to life as Cybermen.
ANCHOR:
'.. the public are being advised to stay away from all cemeteries.'
EXT. CEMETERY, DAY
CLARA wakes up lying on the ground. She looks around, wondering how she got there. She stands, holding a jacket. She puts on the jacket and then walks through the empty cemetery. She hears a rustling and we see the ground move from underneath.
CLARA:
Hello? Hello?
An urn topples over at one grave as a hand reaches up through the ground. At a second - the tombstone says they died in 1748 - another hand reaches through.
INT. PLANE, MAIN CABIN, DAY
A computer re-creation plays on the monitors. It shows the rain fall and permeate the ground of cemeteries.
KATE:
We've done heat scans of some of the cemeteries and, in each case, only a handful of Cybermen have so far emerged. But every individual burial site is active.
AHMED:
Active?
DOCTOR:
Hatching.
KATE:
More are coming. Potentially millions.
AHMED:
So the rain caused all that in just a few hours?
DOCTOR:
It wasn't rain, Man Scout! (stands) It was pollen. Cyber-pollen. (walks around table to other end) Every tiny particle of a Cyberman contains the plans to make another Cyberman. All it has to do is to make a contact with compatible, living organic matter, and bang - full conversion. But if they have learned how to convert the dead... (looks up at monitor where they have MISSY on view) That's what she was doing! That's what 3W was for! She creates an all-new paranoia among the super-rich about dying. She exploits the wealth and the mortal remains of selected idiots, so she can create a whole new race of Cybermen. Cybermen who can recruit corpses. Throw away your guns, Man Scout, it's all over. How can you win a war against an enemy that can weaponise the dead?
EXT. CEMETERY, DAY
A metal hand pushes away the cement border of its grave. CLARA steps back. She keeps an eye on it as she continues to back away. She sees glimpses of silver behind trees and other gravestones. She turns around and sees Cybermen climbing out of virtually every grave!
INT. PLANE, MAIN CABIN, DAY
AHMED:
They're not attacking, apart from isolated incidents. They're just wandering about.
DOCTOR:
They're newborns. Give them time. Why were you there this morning, why were you already attacking?
KATE:
Been investigating 3W for a while then we got a tip-off.
AHMED:
From a woman with a Scottish accent.
DOCTOR:
Can't play to the gallery unless there's a gallery and here I am. Dead bodies don't have minds, of course, but she's been upgrading dying minds to a hard drive for a long time. So she upgrades the hardware, then she updates the software.
KATE:
What do you mean "a long time"? How long?
DOCTOR:
Well, she must have a TARDIS somewhere, so as long as she likes, the past, the future...
KATE:
How long, Doctor?
DOCTOR:
How long has the human race had a concept of an afterlife? Turns out, the afterlife is real. And it's emptying. Every graveyard on planet Earth is about to burst its banks.
INT. PLANE, CARGO HOLD
MISSY hums and then starts to sing.
MISSY:
(sings) Hey, Missy, you're so fine, you're so fine you blow my mind! Hey, Missy! Hey.. (speaks) Excuse me. Hi. Can I tell you something really important?
OSGOOD:
What?
MISSY:
(whispers) I have to whisper it. It's, like, so important to everyone on this plane. You'll get in trouble if you don't listen.
OSGOOD:
Right, if it was important, why would you tell us?
MISSY:
Well, look at me, I'm bananas. (Come on.) Just a wee bit closer. Just a little closer. The Doctor will be really impressed if you learn my secrets.
OSGOOD walks over to MISSY but leaves some distance.
MISSY:
You can come a bit closer than that. Come on, stop mucking about. Don't be shy. You don't smell half as bad as you think you do.
OSGOOD:
(steps closer) There are two armed men directly behind you.
MISSY:
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
OSGOOD:
If you've got something to say, just say it.
MISSY clears her throat and OSGOOD leans in closer.
MISSY:
(whispers into OSGOOD’S ear) I'm going to kill you in a minute.
OSGOOD pulls away.
MISSY:
I'm not even kidding. You're going to be as dead as a fish on a slab any second now, all floppy and making smells. (whispers) But don't tell the boys. This is our secret girl plan.
OSGOOD:
Why would you bother killing me? I'm not even important.
MISSY:
Oh, silly! Why does one pop a balloon? Because you're pretty. You should have a bit more confidence in yourself.
OSGOOD:
OK. Sorry, I've got work to do. (walks back to desk)
MISSY:
All right, fine. You get on. You get that finished. Would a countdown help you focus at all?
OSGOOD:
No, that's OK.
MISSY:
Ten. Don't be scared yet, cos I'm still in double figures.
OSGOOD:
(works on computer) I'm not scared.
MISSY:
Nine. Well, no, of course you're not, cos you know you're dying anyway. Eight. Human beings are born dying. Your life spans are hilarious.
OSGOOD:
Please be quiet.
MISSY:
Seven. You know from the minute you slop out, you're rotting, decaying. The stench of you - phew! I'm never going to get this place clean. Three.
OSGOOD:
Three?!
MISSY:
I'm accelerating for dramatic effect. Oh! What's THAT in your pocket?
OSGOOD:
There's nothing in my... (reaches into pocket and pulls out handcuffs)
MISSY:
Oh, my giddy aunt. The quiet ones are the worst.
OSGOOD:
Well, those aren't mine.
MISSY:
Hmm... (puts on lipstick) Then they must be mine.
MISSY moves quickly over to OSGOOD and puts an arm around her neck from behind. She then evaporates the two soldiers.
MISSY:
Say something nice.
OSGOOD:
Missy, the Master, whatever you call yourself, I promise, I'm much more useful to you alive.
MISSY:
Oh, yeah, that's true. That's definitely true, that is a good point well made. I'm proud of you, sister. But did I mention... bananas! Pop. (incinerates OSGOOD) Ah... thanks for being yummy.
MISSY then crushes OSGOOD’S glasses under her shoe before pressing a button on her bracelet that seemingly over-rides the plane’s controls as it starts to sway. She hangs on to straps hanging from the ceiling.
MISSY:
Whoo-oo!
INT. PLANE, MAIN CABIN, DAY
The plane rocks with turbulence. The DOCTOR picks up flowers from the vase near the Brigadier’s portrait.
KATE:
Mr President, you need to get back in your seat.
DOCTOR:
I don't like being the president, people keep saluting. I'm never going to salute back.
KATE:
Do you know, that was always my dad's big ambition - to get you to salute him, just once.
DOCTOR:
(looks at portrait) He should've asked. (looks out window)
KATE:
Doctor, what are you looking at?
DOCTOR:
The clouds. Still there. So what else have they got?
A Cyberman appears at the window. The DOCTOR and KATE back away in surprise.
KATE:
Oh, dear Lord!
DOCTOR:
There's a Cyberman out there on the fuselage. But, on the plus side, it's not turbulence. (looks at monitor and sees MISSY is gone) She's out! Who let her out?!
AHMED:
(at window) What's it doing? Where did it go? What can one Cyberman do to a plane?
EXT. PLANE
There are at least four Cybermen following the plane with rocket boots a la Iron Man.
INT. PLANE, CARGO HOLD
The DOCTOR slides down the ladder and looks around. He inadvertently steps in the ashes that were once OSGOOD. He goes down on one knee and picks up her glasses. MISSY pops out from behind the TARDIS.
MISSY:
Oh, she was really scared, it's classic.
The DOCTOR stands and glares at her.
MISSY:
Have you got any more friends I can play with?
EXT. CEMETERY, DAY
CLARA walks carefully around the Cybermen who don’t seem to notice her.
CYBERMAN:
Locate hive. Locate hive. Locate hive. Locate hive.
She sees one standing apart from the others, seemingly watching her. The light of its chest unit is dark. It turns its back and starts to walk away. CLARA goes closer.
CLARA:
Are you the one that brought me here?
CYBERMAN 2:
Affirmative.
CLARA:
So you know who I am, right?
CYBERMAN 2:
(faces CLARA) You are not the Doctor. (holds paper in its fist)
CLARA:
Of course I'm not the Doctor. I was lying to stay alive. But how do I know so much about him?
CYBERMAN 2:
You are his associate.
CLARA:
No, I'm not. I'm not his associate. I'm his best friend. Right now, his best friend, anywhere in the universe. Have you got any sort of Cyber-Internet in there because, really, you should look it up. Look up what happens to you, if you harm me.
CYBERMAN 2:
(steps forward) Where is the Doctor?
CLARA:
(scoffs) What, you think I would give up the Doctor? Don't be daft. I would never, ever, give up the Doctor. Because he is my best friend, too. He is the closest person to me in this whole world. He is the man I will always forgive, always trust, the one man I would never, ever lie to.
As she speaks, the CYBERMAN clenches the paper. When she is done, it raises its right arm, exposing the gun, aiming it at her. His arm shakes before he lowers it, unable to shoot her. He then removes the faceplate.
CLARA:
Danny?
CYBER-DANNY:
(drops the paper) Danny Pink is dead. Help me.
CLARA:
Oh, my God. Danny... (reaches out)
CYBER-DANNY:
Help me.
CLARA:
Danny... I am so sorry.
CYBER-DANNY:
Help me. I need you to do something for me. I can't do it myself. (removes disc from center of chest to reveal circuitry)
CLARA:
What is that?
CYBER-DANNY:
It's an inhibitor. It's not activated. I need you to switch it on.
CLARA:
What does it inhibit?
CYBER-DANNY:
Emotion. It deletes emotions. Please. (breaks) I don't want to feel like this.
EXT. PLANE
We see one of the Cybermen on the fuselage and another grabs the left rear wing. Another lands on an engine. There are more flying around it.
INT. PLANE, MAIN CABIN, DAY
AHMED:
There's more than one.
KATE:
What?
AHMED:
They're all over the plane, they're pulling it apart!
One of the Cybermen pounds on a window.
INT. PLANE, CARGO HOLD
MISSY walks a little unsteadily towards the DOCTOR.
MISSY:
Oh, o-o-oh. Ask me.
DOCTOR:
(fuming) Shut up!
MISSY:
(puts hands on hips) Ask me! Come on, you know you want to. You want to know what my plan is. You'll be surprised. I've got a gift for you. You know, I've been up and down your timeline, meeting all those silly people who die to keep you alive. (pokes him in the chest) And you know what I worked out? What you really need!
DOCTOR:
For what?
MISSY:
To know that you're just like me!
A telephone rings.
MISSY:
Oh, and now it begins.
It is the phone of the TARDIS.
MISSY:
Doctor, I do believe you're on-call. Miss Oswald expects. Who else but the girl who's got your number? Whoops!
The DOCTOR runs over to the TARDIS while MISSY talks. The phone continues as the DOCTOR confronts her.
DOCTOR:
It was you!
>>>FLASHBACK<<<
(from “The Bells of St. John”)
CLARA:
Ah, hello.
DOCTOR:
(paces the room, tangling the cord) Listen, where did you get this number?
CLARA:
Woman in the shop wrote it down. It's the helpline, isn't it?
>>>END FLASHBACK<<<
MISSY:
(Cockney accent?) Computer helpline, love. That's the one. Best helpline in the universe.
DOCTOR:
You put us together.
MISSY:
I kept you together.

INT. TARDIS
CLARA:
Who put that advert in the paper?
DOCTOR:
Who gave you my number?
CLARA:
The woman. The woman in the shop.
DOCTOR:
Then there's a woman out there who's very keen that we stay together.
>>>END FLASHBACK<<<
DOCTOR:
Why?
MISSY:
Cos she's perfect, innit? The control freak and the man who should never be controlled You'd go to hell, if she asked. And she would. The phone's ringing, Doctor, can you hear that? Now that's the sound of your chain being yanked. Heel, Doctor! Help me, Doctor! Help me! Help me, Doctor!
The DOCTOR hurries back to the phone and answers.
DOCTOR:
Clara?

CLARA rests against a gravestone.
CLARA:
Doctor. With Danny.
DOCTOR:
Danny's dead, Clara.
CLARA:
'Not yet.' Not quite. But he wants to be.
DOCTOR:
'Clara...'
CLARA turns to see DANNY quietly sobbing.
DOCTOR:
Clara?
CLARA:
He's a Cyberman. 'Doctor, Danny's a Cyberman.' And he's crying. Doctor, he feels it, he's crying.
The DOCTOR leans against the TARDIS.
INT. PLANE, MAIN CABIN, DAY
The Cybermen continue to pound on the plane from the outside. KATE picks up an internal phone.
KATE:
Message to Geneva. Tell them Boat One is going down. We don't anticipate survivors.
One of the Cybermen breaks a window and grabs AHMED by the neck. The depressurization alarm sounds. The people in the cabin rush about. AHMED is sucked out through the window.
INT. PLANE, CARGO HOLD
The DOCTOR braces himself against the bulkhead.
DOCTOR:
Clara, don't do it, just don't do it!

EXT. CEMETERY, DAY
CLARA is facing DANNY and she has her hand hovering over the circuitry in his chest.
CLARA:
It's in his chest. He says it's an inhibitor. It can delete emotion, or something.
DOCTOR:
I know what it does. If you turn it on, he'll become a Cyberman.
CLARA:
He's already a Cyberman.
DOCTOR:
Not yet, he isn't.
CLARA:
He's hurting because I hurt him and he wants it to stop.
DOCTOR:
Stop the pain and he'll kill you!
CLARA:
Look, are you going to help me? Because I can't do this alone.
DOCTOR:
(falls back against the TARDIS) I'm not going to help you commit suicide.
CLARA:
Look, the TARDIS can home in on this call, right? Either you help me, or you leave me alone. (throws away mobile and works on the wires)
DOCTOR:
Clara? Clara, no...
CLARA:
(to CYBER-DANNY) There's a lot of switches round the edge. I'm going to try pressing them all.
CYBER-DANNY:
OK.
CLARA:
(gently touches his face) I am so sorry.
CYBER-DANNY:
Yeah. (hand clenches)
INT. PLANE, CARGO HOLD
KATE climbs down the ladder.
KATE:
Doctor! The Cybermen are in! The plane's going down!
MISSY:
Oh, great. It's the daughter one. Do you like her? I like her.
MISSY presses a button on her bracelet and the cargo door falls away and KATE is sucked out of the plane. The DOCTOR is holding onto one of the straps.
DOCTOR:
Why did you do that? You didn't have to do that!
MISSY:
Oh, don't be so selfish. I'm going to miss her, too. In fact, you know what? Just for that, I'm leaving. (talks into bracelet) Boys, blow up this plane and, I don't know... Belgium, yeah? Kill some Belgians. Might as well. They're not even French. Byeeee! (teleports away)
The plane explodes and the DOCTOR screams as he free-falls.
NETHERSPHERE, BALCONY
MISSY and SEB are watching the DOCTOR fall onscreen.
MISSY:
Well, that's very boring. Oh, he's just going to... squish. What kind of a way is that to die? That man has NO finesse, none.
SEB:
Well, it's quite dramatic.
MISSY:
You're an AI interface, kindly delete your opinions, thank you.

EXT. SKY
The DOCTOR reaches into his inner jacket pocket.
SEB:
W-W-What's he doing? Is he...? Is he? Oh, no! Oh, no, no, no. N-Now, that's...
The DOCTOR has used his key to summon the TARDIS and does a direct dive towards it.
SEB:
Oh! Permission to... squeeeee...
MISSY deletes him with her device. The DOCTOR falls closer to the TARDIS, key outstretched. We then see sky above the clouds and soon the TARDIS emerges through the clouds.
EXT. CEMETERY, DAY
CLARA is still working on the wiring. The other Cybermen wander aimlessly or just remain still.
CLARA:
Two more to go. Does it feel any different?
CYBER-DANNY:
No.
CLARA:
Are you sure?
CYBER-DANNY:
Yeah.
The DOCTOR hurries up to them.
DOCTOR:
Clara, don't!
CLARA:
Help me.
DOCTOR:
If you do what you're trying to do, if you succeed, he will snap you.
CLARA:
(shakes head) No.
DOCTOR:
Then he will step over your broken body and break another and another and another. He will never stop.
CYBER-DANNY:
I will not harm her.
The DOCTOR goes to CYBER-DANNY ready to argue the point but stops when he sees his face. He walks around the former teacher, forlorn.
DOCTOR:
PE... PE...
CYBER-DANNY:
Sir.
DOCTOR:
I had a friend once. We ran together, when I was little. And I thought we were the same. But when we grew up, we weren't. Now, she's trying to tear the world apart, and I can't run fast enough to hold it together. The difference... is this. (puts his hand on CYBER-DANNY’S chest unit) Pain is a gift. Without the capacity for pain, we can't feel the hurt we inflict.
CYBER-DANNY:
Are you telling me, seriously, for real, that you can?
DOCTOR:
Of course I can.
CYBER-DANNY:
Then shame on you, Doctor.
DOCTOR:
Yes. Oh, yes.
Thunder rumbles.
DOCTOR:
Danny, Danny, I need you to tell me, what are the clouds going to do? What is the plan?
CYBER-DANNY:
How would I know?
DOCTOR:
You're part of a hive mind now. Presumably, that's how you found Clara. Just look.
CYBER-DANNY:
I can't see much.
DOCTOR:
Look harder.
CYBER-DANNY:
Clara, watch this. This is who the Doctor is. Watch the blood-soaked old general in action. I can't see properly, sir, because this needs activating. If you want to know what's coming, you have to switch... it... on. And didn't all of those beautiful speeches just disappear in the face of a tactical advantage? Sir?
The DOCTOR looks from CYBER-DANNY’S chest and back to his face. He slowly backs away and sighs.
DOCTOR:
I need to know. I need to know.
CYBER-DANNY:
(softly) Yes. (normally) Yes, you do.
CLARA:
Give me the screwdriver.
DOCTOR:
No.
CLARA:
Just do it, Doctor. Do as you are told.
After a moment of indecision, the DOCTOR give CLARA the sonic.
CYBER-DANNY:
Typical officer. Got to keep those hands clean.
The DOCTOR looks at CYBER-DANNY before walking away.
CLARA:
Just point and think, yeah?
DOCTOR:
Yes.
The DOCTOR stops and supports himself with a hand against a gravestone.
CLARA:
(raises the screwdriver) (tearfully) OK. I wasn't very good at it... but I did love you.
CYBER-DANNY:
I loved you, too.
CLARA:
(turns the sonic in her hand) I'm never going to say that again.
CYBER-DANNY:
Me neither.
CLARA raised the screwdriver above her head in a moment of hesitation before lowering it again.
CLARA:
Ready?
CYBER-DANNY:
Yeah.
CLARA sobs and her hand trembles.
CLARA:
It feels like I'm killing you.
CYBER-DANNY:
I'm already dead. You're here this time at least.
CLARA:
Goodbye, Danny.
CYBER-DANNY:
Goodbye, Clara.
CLARA closes her eyes and presses the button on the sonic and it whirrs. CYBER-DANNY straightens and looks blank. CLARA sobs and goes to hug him. The DOCTOR hurries over.
DOCTOR:
Clara, no! Step away! He's activating! Clara, step away now! Don't... (puts his hands on CLARA’S shoulders) Danny, Danny, if you can hear me, if you're still there, what are the clouds going to do?
CYBER-DANNY:
(monotone) The rain will fall again. All humanity will die.
DOCTOR:
And rise again as Cybermen?
CYBER-DANNY:
Correct.
DOCTOR:
How do we stop it?
CYBER-DANNY:
We cannot be stopped.
There is a whooshing and a vertical beam of blue light appears and MISSY floats down with her open parasol - very Mary Poppins.
MISSY:
Oh, that was BRILLIANT! I love the telly here, but did you see THAT? Oh, Clara, you poor thing, you must feel like death. Let me pop away the pain. (hits a few keys on her device)
DOCTOR:
(grabs device and throws it away) Don't you dare! Don't you think about it!
MISSY:
Oh, sorry, hon, I'm just getting a bit carried away. It's your friends, they're so more-ish. Hmm?
CLARA picks up the device and then goes back to DANNY.
MISSY:
Oh, stop looking all cross-pants. I'm here to give you a gift. Could you at least try and be excited?
DOCTOR:
What gift?
MISSY:
(speaks into bracelet) Cyberdears!
The Cybermen in the cemetery salute, hand over chest.
MISSY:
(speaks into bracelet) Look at Mummy!! Raise your arms. Lower your arms. Raise your right. Lower your right. Turn on the spot. There are exits at the front and rear of the aircraft. Please follow the lights up the aisle.
The Cybermen follow her instructions.
MISSY:
You see, Doctor? The power to slaughter whole worlds at a time, then make them do a safety briefing. Everyone who ever lived - man, woman and child - is now at my command. An indestructible army to rage across the universe. The more they kill, the more they recruit. Happy birthday. Oh! You didn't know, did you? It's lucky one of us remembers these things. Happy birthday... (sings like Marilyn Monroe) ? Mr President. ?
MISSY puts the bracelet on his wrist then bows. The Cybermen acknowledge the change of leadership.
CYBERMAN:
Doctor. (bows head)
All Cybermen bow heads.
MISSY:
Tiny bit pleased?
The DOCTOR looks at the Cybermen and then back at MISSY.
MISSY:
Oh, go on, crack a smile. I want to see if your eyebrows drop off.
DOCTOR:
All of this... All of it, just to give me an army?
MISSY:
Well, I don't need one, do I? Armies are for people who think they're right. And nobody thinks they're righter than you!
The DOCTOR tries to take off the bracelet but she puts her hands on his.
MISSY
(walks forcing the DOCTOR backwards) Give a good man firepower, and he'll never run out of people to kill.
DOCTOR:
I don't want an army.
MISSY:
Well, that's the trouble! Yes, you do! You've always wanted one! All those people suffering in the Dalek camps? Now you can save them. All those bad guys winning all the wars? Go and get the good guys back.
DOCTOR:
Nobody can have that power.
MISSY:
You will because you don't have a choice. There's only way you can stop these clouds from opening up and killing all your little pets down here. Conquer the universe, Mr President. Show a bad girl how it's done. (deep curtsey)
DOCTOR:
(pulls at the bracelet) Why are you doing this?
MISSY:
I need you to know we're not so different. I need my friend back. Every battle, every war, every invasion - from now on, you decide the outcome. What's the matter, Mr President? Don't you trust yourself?

Resolved, the DOCTOR turns to MISSY.
DOCTOR:
Thank you! Thank you so much. (kneels and kisses MISSY gently on the lips) I really didn't know. I wasn't sure. You lose sight sometimes. Thank you!
(stands and rushes away) I am NOT a good man! (smiles at MISSY who stands) And I'm not a bad man. I am not a hero. And I'm definitely not a president. And, no, I'm not an officer. Do you know what I am? I... am... an idiot, with a box and a screwdriver. Passing through, helping out, learning. I don't need an army, I never have, because I've got them. (points at CLARA and CYBER-DANNY) Always them. Because love, it's not an emotion, love is a promise.
CYBER-DANNY hugs CLARA with his right arm.
DOCTOR:
And HE will NEVER hurt her. PE, catch! (throws the bracelet)
CYBER-DANNY catches the bracelet in his left hand.
DOCTOR:
You didn't notice, did you? While you were doing all your silly orders, while you were showing off, the one soldier not obeying.
MISSY:
No, that's wrong, that's impossible.
CLARA and CYBER-DANNY part.
CYBER-DANNY:
(puts on the bracelet as he walks over to MISSY) The rain will not fall.
MISSY:
Oh? Why won't it?
CYBER-DANNY:
The clouds will burn.
MISSY:
And who'll burn them?
CYBER-DANNY:
I will burn them.
MISSY:
How?
CYBER-DANNY:
I will burn.
MISSY:
One burning Cyberman is hardly going to save the planet.
CYBER-DANNY:
Correct. (turns and speaks into bracelet) Attention!
The Cybermen in the cemetery stand to attention.
CYBER-DANNY:
This is not a good day. This is Earth's darkest hour. And look at you miserable lot! We are the fallen. But today, we shall rise. The army of the dead will save the land of the living. This is not the order of a general... nor the whim of a lunatic.
MISSY:
Excuse me?!
CYBER-DANNY:
This is a promise! The promise of a soldier! (turns to CLARA) You will sleep safe tonight.
The Cybermen take to the sky. CLARA closes her eyes. There is a fire in the sky and we see the clouds begin to burn away over the cemetery as well as London, New York and Sydney. The DOCTOR, CLARA and MISSY stand alone in the cemetery, a blue sky above them.
CLARA:
Well. The clouds have all gone.
DOCTOR:
Yes, burned up, totally burnt, burnt to nothing. (looks at CLARA) Sorry.
MISSY:
10-0-11-00 by 02.
DOCTOR:
What did you say??
MISSY:
The current co-ordinates of Gallifrey. It's returned to its original location. Didn't you ever think to look?
DOCTOR:
(strides over to her) You are lying!
MISSY:
We can... We can go together. Just you and me, just like the old days.
DOCTOR:
You'd be clapped in irons.
MISSY:
If you like.
CLARA:
Doctor, I'm assuming you'll remember those co-ordinates? (aims MISSY’S own device at her)
DOCTOR:
No. No, don't you dare, I won't let you.
CLARA:
Old friend, is she? If you have ever let this creature live, everything that happened today, is on you. All of it, on YOU. And you're not going to let her live again.
DOCTOR:
Clara... all I'm doing is not letting you kill her. I never said I was letting her live.
CLARA:
Really?
DOCTOR:
If that's the only thing that will stop you... yes.
CLARA gives him the device. He turns to face MISSY.
MISSY:
Seriously? Oh, Doctor. To save her soul? (stands between two gravestones and chuckles) But who, my dear, will save yours? Say something nice. Please?
The DOCTOR rubs his face and sighs.
DOCTOR:
You win.
MISSY:
I know.
The DOCTOR fires and a blue light emerges from the device and MISSY is gone. He turns to CLARA. They see a lone Cyberman looking at them. It then motions to its left. CLARA sees something.
CLARA:
Doctor!
They run between the graves and find KATE unconscious on the ground. They kneel on either side of her.
DOCTOR:
Kate! She's breathing. She's alive! She can't be here!
CLARA:
She is.
DOCTOR:
She fell out of a plane! The Cyberman... must have caught her. (stands)
CLARA leans over KATE.
CLARA:
Doctor, she's talking about her dad!
DOCTOR:
(looks at Cyberman) Of course! The Earth's darkest hour and mine. Where else would you be? (salutes)
The Cyberman bows his head and takes off. CLARA watches.
DOCTOR:
(whispers) Thank you.

INT, CLARA’S FLAT, BEDROOM, NIGHT
CLARA is asleep is bed and is awoken by a whispered voice.
DANNY:
'Clara... Clara...'
CLARA:
Danny?
INT, CLARA’S FLAT, HALL, NIGHT
CLARA steps into the hallway.
CLARA:
Danny? Is that you?
A glowing light appears at the opposite end of the hall and spreads out from the center.
CLARA:
Please say it's you.
A man-shaped shadow appears in the light.
DANNY:
'Clara...'
CLARA:
The Doctor told me about the bracelet, how it can let Missy travel from one world to the other.
DANNY:
'This place is dying now.'
CLARA:
Yes, but the bracelet can bring you home.
DANNY:
'There's only enough power for one trip.'
CLARA:
Then, come on. Hurry up!
DANNY:
'Just one trip. One trip, one person.'
A figure starts to walk forward through the light.
CLARA:
Danny!
CLARA watches eagerly but it is the BOY DANNY killed.
DANNY:
'You need to find his parents. He died a long time ago.'
The BOY looks around in wonder and gasps.
DANNY:
'I'm sorry, Clara. (sobs) I truly am. I had... I had promises to keep.'
The bracelet falls from the BOY’S arm and sizzles as the energy dies. The light behind the BOY fades. Tears fall down CLARA’S face.
INT. CAFÉ, DAY
CLARA is sitting at a table, fingers drumming the surface. She is wearing the now-spent bracelet. The bell over the door rings and the DOCTOR enters, making his way to the table.
DOCTOR:
Hey.
CLARA:
Hey.
DOCTOR:
I got your message. (sits opposite)
CLARA:
Two weeks late.
DOCTOR:
Not bad.
CLARA:
Improving.
DOCTOR:
I see you've got news for me.
CLARA:
News?
DOCTOR:
(nods at bracelet) He figured it out then? PE figured out there was a way home.
CLARA:
(looks at table) Yeah. Yeah, he did.
DOCTOR:
Oh, good old PE. He'll make a maths teacher yet.
CLARA:
Listen, Doctor. There's something that I have to tell you and, um... it's not good news so just listen, OK?
DOCTOR:
I know.
CLARA:
Sorry?
DOCTOR:
I know exactly what you've got to tell me.
CLARA:
(sits back in surprise) You do?
DOCTOR:
You and Danny are together now. That's great, that's how it should be. But the old man and the blue box, that's never going to fit in. So, no more flying around, no more lying.
CLARA:
OK, no, that's not exactly...
DOCTOR:
It's fine.
CLARA:
No, it's NOT fine. It... It really isn't... fine.
DOCTOR:
I've found Gallifrey!
CLARA:
Wow! Oh, my God...
CONTINUED, INTERCUT WITH -
- CUT TO:
INT. TARDIS
The DOCTOR is at the controls.
DOCTOR: (v.o.)
'I entered the co-ordinates, just like she said.' And I found Gallifrey.
The TARDIS materializes and the DOCTOR walks slowly to the door.
DOCTOR:
For once, she wasn't lying.
The DOCTOR opens the door and there is nothing there. He slowly closes the door and walks back to the console, his face a mask. He starts punching the console and sparks fly. He grits his teeth and starts hitting with both hands. He then falls to his knees, resting his head on the console.
CLARA:
So, what are you going to do now?
DOCTOR:
Go home.
CLARA:
OK.
DOCTOR:
Gallifrey can be a good place. I can help make it that.
CLARA:
What, you?
DOCTOR:
Shut up!
CLARA:
You won't just steal a TARDIS and run away?
DOCTOR:
No, not this time. Never again.
CLARA looks out the window at the TARDIS.
CLARA:
Never again.
DOCTOR:
It's a long commute, so, you know I thought, with you and Danny...
CLARA:
Yeah. Me and Danny. (leans on the table and puts on a smile for the DOCTOR) Me and Danny, we are going to be fine. Don't you worry. You go home. (chuckles) Go home. Go be a king or something.
DOCTOR:
Yeah, I might do that.
CLARA:
Or queen, you know, whatever.
DOCTOR:
Yeah, queen, that would be good, too.
CLARA:
(laughs) Yeah... (sighs heavily) Tell you what, seeing as it's goodbye, shall we break a habit?
DOCTOR:
What? What habit?
CLARA:
Hug?
DOCTOR:
Why not? Within reason. (stands) Come on, you're on the clock.
CLARA:
Fair enough. (stands)
CLARA holds her arms out in front whereas the DOCTOR has his barely out and low. She puts her arms around his neck, pulling him close. The DOCTOR hesitantly puts his arms around her.
CLARA:
Why don't you like hugging, Doctor?
DOCTOR:
Never trust a hug... it's just a way to hide your face.
CLARA:
Yeah.
Their faces show the sadness they hid from each other.
EXT. STREET, DAY
The DOCTOR walks towards the TARDIS ready to depart. He steps inside but turns when CLARA calls him.
CLARA:
Doctor? Travelling with you made me feel really special. Thank you for that. Thank you for making me feel special.
DOCTOR:
Thank you for exactly the same.
They look at each other for a moment before the DOCTOR closes the door. CLARA stands and watches as the TARDIS dematerializes. She then walks away into the crowd.

INT. 3W, OFFICE, DAY
The CYBERMAN that had been in the tank crosses the floor and stops when it spots CLARA. She stands from her position behind the desk.
CLARA:
Stop! You can't kill me!
CYBERMAN:
Incorrect.
CLARA:
I'm a target of strategic value. Alive, I'm a tactical advantage. Dead, I'm your biggest mistake. You don't know who I am!
CYBERMAN:
(scans her from chest unit) You are Clara Oswald. You are human. You are unimportant.
CLARA:
(approaches the CYBERMAN) Incorrect. (backs away) You see, THAT is what you're supposed to think. THAT is what everybody thinks.
CYBERMAN:
You are Clara Oswald.
CLARA:
Clara Oswald is a cover story - a disguise. There is NO Clara Oswald.
CYBERMAN:
Identify.
CLARA:
Oh, don't be so slow, it's embarrassing. (walks right up to CYBERMAN) Who could fool you like this? Who could hide right under your nose? Who could change their face any time they want? Hmm! (backs away) You see, I'm not Clara Oswald. Clara Oswald has never existed.
CYBERMAN:
Identify.
CLARA:
I'm the Doctor.

EXT. LONDON, PETER’S HILL, DAY
The DOCTOR and MISSY stand in the middle of the pedestrian area surrounded by still CYBERMEN. The public treat them like some tourist attraction, taking pictures and videos.
MISSY:
Look at them! My boys!
DOCTOR:
Cybermen, in broad daylight? You think people won't notice?
MISSY:
(takes off her hat and puts it on the pavement in front of a Cyberman) Photos with the big metal men - one pound!
With the invitation, more people take pictures. The DOCTOR just looks around, disbelieving.
MISSY:
Oh, honey!
The people take selfies and comment on how cool it is. MISSY takes out a device and shows the DOCTOR that there are Cybermen all over the world.
MISSY:
New York. Paris. Rome. Marrakech. Brisbane. Glasgow. Everywhere. Anywhere. Me and my boys. We're going viral.
MISSY prepares to take a selfie but OSGOOD approaches.
OSGOOD:
Would you like me to take a picture? Sorry, selfies are never as good, are they? And you're having a lovely moment. (grabs MISSY’S device) Hang on!
MISSY:
No, just...
DOCTOR:
(grips MISSY’S arms) Nice bow tie.
OSGOOD:
Bow ties are cool. Big smiles, and... now!
UNIT soldiers and agents appear from the crowd and surround the Cybermen.
SOLDIER:
Move, move, move! Stand by. Surround target. Hold back!
KATE STEWART walks up with more soldiers.
KATE:
Afternoon. You've picked a lovely day for it. My, don't you look shiny! (to DOCTOR) Haircut?
DOCTOR:
Bit of a trim.
KATE:
Might want to do your roots. (to SOLDIER) The woman.
SOLDIER:
Yes, ma'am.
Soldiers take hold of MISSY and lead her away.
KATE:
(faces Cybermen) Kate Stewart. Divorcee, mother of two, keen gardener, outstanding bridge player. Also, chief scientific officer, Unified Intelligence Taskforce - who currently have you surrounded.
CYBERMAN:
Human weaponry is not effective against Cyber technology.
KATE:
(throws classic Cyberman head on ground) Sorry, you left this behind on one of your previous attempts.
A soldier pushes a bewildered DOCTOR forward so he stands next to KATE.
KATE:
So now that I have your attention, welcome to the only planet in the universe where we get to say this. He's on the payroll.
DOCTOR:
Am I?
KATE:
Well, technically.
DOCTOR:
How much?
KATE:
Shh! (to CYBERMAN) Any questions?
The Cybermen salute, pressing their hands to the blue light in the middle of their chest units. They then activate the rockets in their feet.
DOCTOR:
Back, back, everyone, back!
UNIT personnel back away as the Cybermen take off into the sky. MISSY smirks. The dome of St Paul’s opens like a lotus.
OSGOOD:
Oh, my God! Is it supposed to do that? Is that new?
DOCTOR:
A sun roof on St Paul's?! Yes, I'd say that was new!
Cybermen fly out of the dome and into the sky.
KATE:
There's going to be mass panic. Everyone in London can see that.
DOCTOR:
Everyone in London just clapped and went "whee"! Hush, I'm trying to count.
OSGOOD:
87, I think. OCD.
MISSY:
91. Queen of evil.
KATE:
How could St Paul's be full of 91 Cybermen and nobody noticed?
DOCTOR:
Dimensional engineering - one space folded inside another. Bigger on the inside. (turns to face MISSY) Easy if you're a Time Lord.
OSGOOD:
Mostly deploying south, a smaller number east.
DOCTOR:
Yep, but one straight up.
OSGOOD:
So 91 isn't a coincidence?
DOCTOR:
(takes MISSY’S device from OSGOOD) Of course it isn't.
KATE:
Osgood? 91 - explain.
OSGOOD:
91 areas of significant population density in the British Isles.
DOCTOR:
(looks at a map on device) That's one Cyberman for every city and major town. It's happening everywhere, all over the world, right now!
MISSY:
Sweet planet, this. I think I might keep it.
KATE:
One Cyberman per city. What could they hope to accomplish?
OSGOOD is looking skyward, screening her eyes from the sun with her hand.
OSGOOD:
Doctor! (points)
There is an explosion in the sky above the cathedral dome.
KATE:
Has it exploded?
MISSY:
More than that. Cybermen don't just blow themselves up for no good reason, dear - they're not human.
DOCTOR:
If it isn't exploding, what's it doing?
MISSY:
Pollinating. Falling like rain into the cracks of the Earth.
INT. 3W, GALLERY, DAY
The camera pans up past the empty tanks to the Nethersphere.
NETHERSPHERE, BALCONY
DANNY is standing at the rail with the BOY he killed when a soldier. The door open and SEB joins them. The lights around them are starting to go out.
SEB:
Well, this IS a bit exciting!
DANNY:
What's happening?
SEB:
Well, to cut a long story short, it looks like we might all be going home.
DANNY:
Home? From the afterlife?
SEB:
Well, when I said "afterlife", I was being a tiny bit poetic. And Nethersphere is just a cool name we came up with during a spit-ball.
DANNY:
What is this place?
SEB:
Well, you have to think of it as a data cloud. You know, for storing data. In this case, it's the storage of recently deceased minds.
DANNY:
We're in a cloud?
SEB:
A sort of cloud, yeah.
DANNY:
And what's happening to it?
SEB:
What happens to any cloud when it starts to rain?
DANNY:
Are you telling me we're going back? What, back to our bodies?
SEB:
And the extra good news is... there's been a bit of an upgrade.
EXT. LONDON, PETER’S HILL, DAY
MISSY:
The dead are coming home, Doctor. All shiny and new. In 24 hours the human race as you know it will cease to exist.
DOCTOR:
What are you doing? Explain. Tell me now!
One of the soldiers injects a sedative into MISSY’S neck.
MISSY:
Oh! That was nice, must do it again.
She falls backwards and two soldiers drag her away.
DOCTOR:
No. No, no, no, no, I need to talk to her! I need her awake. (tranq dart to the neck) Agh! No. No, no, stupid! (pulls dart from neck) Stupid! No, no! Agh!
The DOCTOR falls to his knees and then to the pavement. OSGOOD kneels beside him.
KATE: (into phone)
The first protocol is implemented. We're good to go.
OSGOOD:
You just have to let it take you.
The DOCTOR grabs OSGOOD’S lapel and pulls her down before whispering in her ear. KATE sees this.
KATE:
What did he say?
OSGOOD:
(stands) He said, "Guard the graveyards."
EXT. CEMETERY, DAY
A dark thundercloud forms over the cemetery. People are outside the gates staring in.
TEEN BOY:
That's weird. Look at that!
It starts to rain but only inside the graveyard.
TEEN BOY:
How come it's only raining INSIDE the graveyard?
EXT. CITY, DAY
A rivulet of rain comes out from under the cemetery gate. Water runs along the gutter and down into the sewer drain. Water rises up through a grate on the pavement and down to the door of a funeral home.
INT. CHAPLET FUNERAL HOME, PREP ROOM, DAY
The MORTICIAN has the TV on and there is a report on the Cybermen.
ANCHOR:
'We are being told that these metal men are known as Cybermen, but unlike the accounts we have on file, they now have the ability to fly. Similar reports are coming in from all over the world. Flying Cybermen are here on a global scale. Ministers are telling us...'
He steps down from his stool and the floor is covered in water.
ANCHOR:
'.. to remain calm. These Cybermen don't seem to be attacking us, at least not in any conventional fashion. Eyewitnesses have reported seeing them flying in the sky...'
He checks the ceiling for a leak. There is water going up into one of the refrigeration drawers. There is a banging from inside a number of the drawers.
MORTICIAN:
Hello? Hello?
The banging continues and then the body on the table rises. Through the covering we see the blue light of a chest unit and then the Cyberman pulls off the tarp. The MORTICIAN runs away. The Cyberman steps down off the table and then sees itself in a mirror. It reaches a hand out and then up to its face. A hand pulls a report from a clipboard. It bears the name “Danny Pink”.
INT. HANGAR, DAY
The TARDIS is in the process of being lifted into the awaiting plane.
MAN:
Right. Be careful with it. Be careful. Take your time.
The DOCTOR is handcuffed upright to a dolly for easy transport. A medic gives him a shot in the neck and he comes to with a start.
DOCTOR:
Kate? What's with the handcuffs?
KATE:
(walks over) I'm sorry. In the event of an alien incursion on this scale, protocols are in place. Your co-operation is to be ensured and your unreliability assumed. You have a history.
DOCTOR:
You don't have a future without me! Do you think your father would've done this?
KATE:
We both know he absolutely would.
The DOCTOR is uncuffed and he steps down just as MISSY is wheeled by on another dolly.
KATE:
Who is she?
DOCTOR:
Long story. Where's Clara?
KATE:
Clara Oswald, your assistant?
DOCTOR:
My friend. She was with me in St Paul's.
KATE:
The team's still on site but they've been unable to gain access to the building.
DOCTOR:
I want her found and brought here. I need her with me.
They climb the stairs to the plane.
KATE:
Then give the order. As soon as you're on board Boat One your word is law. Quite literally.
DOCTOR:
(stops midway and looks around) You got the TARDIS out, then?
KATE:
Yes, and St Paul's locked down.
They enter the plane.
INT. PLANE, MAIN CABIN, DAY
The main cabin has a long conference table going down the center and monitors are hanging from the ceiling. The DOCTOR follows KATE and OSGOOD walks down the other side.
DOCTOR:
Where are we going? Cloudbase?
KATE:
You mean the Valiant?
OSGOOD:
Cloudbase was Thunderbirds.
KATE:
Too conspicuous. We need your location concealed, not advertised. From now on you're a moving target.
KATE and OSGOOD study a monitor hanging on the bulkhead. To the right of it hangs a portrait of Brigadier Sir Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart.
DOCTOR:
Ah, I see you're bringing Daddy along, too. That's very sweet.
An Indian (Pakistani?) officer salutes the DOCTOR.
OFFICER:
Sir!
DOCTOR:
Oh, don't do that. You look like you're self-concussing, which would explain all of military history, now I think about it.
OFFICER:
Colonel Ahmed, sir. Privileged to meet you.
DOCTOR:
Love your outfit, Colonel Ahmed. Are you in the Scouts? Are you a Man Scout? I didn't know they had those. (walks away)
OSGOOD passes AHMED.
AHMED:
It was Captain Scarlet.
OSGOOD:
Sorry?
AHMED:
Not Thunderbirds.
OSGOOD:
Oh, God, so it was!
DOCTOR:
My confidence is growing every minute. (fixes a cup of tea)
KATE: (over phone)
The President is on board.
DOCTOR:
Mind you, me and Sylvia Anderson, you've never seen a foxtrot like it. Hang on a second. The President? We don't want Americans bobbing around the place. (sits at table) They'll only start praying.
AHMED:
Not the President of America, sir. The President of Earth.
DOCTOR:
There isn't one. (loads tea with sugar)
AHMED:
There is now.
KATE:
The incursion protocols have been agreed internationally. In the event of full-scale invasion, an Earth president is inducted immediately, with complete authority over every nation state. There was only one practical candidate.
DOCTOR:
That's your answer for everything, isn't it? Vote for an idiot. (lifts cup to his mouth)
KATE:
If you say so, Mr President(!) So long as you're on this plane, you're the Commander-in-Chief of every army on Earth. Every world leader is currently awaiting your instructions. You are the Chief Executive Officer of the human race. Any questions?
The DOCTOR looks around the cabin, mouth open, stunned.
CAPTAIN:
'This is your captain speaking. Please prepare for take-off.'
INT. 3W, GALLERY, DAY
CLARA faces three Cybermen in front of empty tanks.
CLARA:
Well, gentlemen. Where to start? I was born on the planet Gallifrey, in the constellation of Kasterborous. I'm a Time Lord, but my Prydonian privileges were revoked when I stole a time capsule and ran away. Currently piloting a Type 40 TARDIS. Married four times, all deceased. My children and grandchildren are missing, and I assume, dead. I have a non-Gallifreyan daughter, created via genetic transfer. How much more do you need? I'm the Doctor!
CYBERMAN:
This information is not proof. We require proof.
CLARA:
How about my name?
CYBERMAN:
Explain.
CLARA:
Well, my name isn't "Doctor", is it? I don't even really have a doctorate. Well, Glasgow University, but then I accidentally graduated in the wrong century, so technically...
CYBERMAN:
This information cannot be confirmed. You are Clara Oswald.
CLARA:
Ah, no! I'm not!
A fourth Cyberman arrives behind CLARA.
CYBERMAN 2:
Your deception is intended to prolong your life.
CYBERMAN:
Your presence has not been ordered.
CYBERMAN 2:
Correct. You are Clara Oswald.
CLARA:
Oh, seriously, this is getting old. Look, there is no Clara Oswald. I invented her. I made her up.
CYBERMAN 2:
Born 23rd November, 1986.
CLARA:
Yeah, I chose that date. Always liked it.
CYBERMAN 2:
Father - David James Oswald. Mother - Elena Alison Oswald.
CLARA:
Stories. Stories. Stories. I made them up. Look, ask anybody who knows me. I am an incredible liar.
CYBERMAN 2:
(lowers head) Correct.
CYBERMAN 2 raises a hand to CLARA’S temple and shoots energy at her head. She falls to the floor.
CYBERMAN:
No order was given.
CYBERMAN 2:
Correct.
CYBERMAN:
You are not under Cyber control.
CYBERMAN 2:
(shoots the others) Correct.
In CYBERMAN 2’s other hand we see the crumbled paper from the funeral home. It’s DANNY.
INT. PLANE, CARGO HOLD
The hold has been converted in OSGOOD’S lab. MISSY wakes with a gasp. She is still on the dolly. The DOCTOR is right there in her face.
DOCTOR:
Why are you still alive?
MISSY:
You saved me!
DOCTOR:
I saved Gallifrey.
MISSY:
Yes, Gallifrey too, I suppose. There's always collateral damage with you and me. It's our Paris.
DOCTOR:
Gallifrey's lost in another dimension.
MISSY:
Yes and no.
We see this is where the TARDIS is. There are also two soldiers behind MISSY.
DOCTOR:
Meaning?
MISSY:
Yes, it's in another dimension. No, it's not lost.
DOCTOR:
You know where it is?
MISSY:
Yep! You know the best part about knowing? (whispers)
Not... telling... you!
AHMED: (over speaker)
'Mr President, sir, we're ready for you up here.'
DOCTOR:
Remember all those years, when all you wanted to do was to rule the world? (answers AHMED) On my way.
AHMED: (over speaker)
'Thank you, Mr President.'
DOCTOR:
Piece of cake!
At her desk, OSGOOD is working on MISSY’S device. The DOCTOR walks over.
OSGOOD:
Oh, erm. It's her little device thingy. I thought there might be useful information on it. Who is she?
DOCTOR:
You'd never believe me if I told you.
OSGOOD:
Cos I thought she might be the Master, regenerated into female form. Your childhood friend, responsible for a number of previous incursions.
DOCTOR:
That was fairly quick.
OSGOOD:
We do have files on all our ex-prime ministers. She wasn't even the worst. Doctor, there's something nobody's talking about.
DOCTOR:
Which is?
OSGOOD:
The clouds caused by the exploding Cybermen - they haven't dispersed, they're still there. In fact, they've expanded and are covering almost all the land masses. We're all looking at the graveyards. Maybe we should be looking up. What do you think?
The DOCTOR looks at OSGOOD thoughtfully before walking away.
DOCTOR:
All of time and space.
OSGOOD:
(spins around) Sorry?
DOCTOR:
Just something for your bucket list. (climbs the ladder)
OSGOOD smiles before taking a puff from her inhaler. MISSY watches the exchange thoughtfully. MISSY works on her handcuffs.
INT. PLANE, MAIN CABIN, DAY
A news report is playing on the monitors. The DOCTOR is seated at the head of the table.
ANCHOR:
'.. localised rain in the cemeteries has resulted in what can only be described as "disturbances" to the soil. Extraordinary eyewitness accounts are claiming that silver creatures are climbing from the graves...'
KATE:
These scenes are being repeated everywhere, every cemetery, every mortuary, every funeral home, every hospital - the dead are returning to life as Cybermen.
ANCHOR:
'.. the public are being advised to stay away from all cemeteries.'
EXT. CEMETERY, DAY
CLARA wakes up lying on the ground. She looks around, wondering how she got there. She stands, holding a jacket. She puts on the jacket and then walks through the empty cemetery. She hears a rustling and we see the ground move from underneath.
CLARA:
Hello? Hello?
An urn topples over at one grave as a hand reaches up through the ground. At a second - the tombstone says they died in 1748 - another hand reaches through.
INT. PLANE, MAIN CABIN, DAY
A computer re-creation plays on the monitors. It shows the rain fall and permeate the ground of cemeteries.
KATE:
We've done heat scans of some of the cemeteries and, in each case, only a handful of Cybermen have so far emerged. But every individual burial site is active.
AHMED:
Active?
DOCTOR:
Hatching.
KATE:
More are coming. Potentially millions.
AHMED:
So the rain caused all that in just a few hours?
DOCTOR:
It wasn't rain, Man Scout! (stands) It was pollen. Cyber-pollen. (walks around table to other end) Every tiny particle of a Cyberman contains the plans to make another Cyberman. All it has to do is to make a contact with compatible, living organic matter, and bang - full conversion. But if they have learned how to convert the dead... (looks up at monitor where they have MISSY on view) That's what she was doing! That's what 3W was for! She creates an all-new paranoia among the super-rich about dying. She exploits the wealth and the mortal remains of selected idiots, so she can create a whole new race of Cybermen. Cybermen who can recruit corpses. Throw away your guns, Man Scout, it's all over. How can you win a war against an enemy that can weaponise the dead?
EXT. CEMETERY, DAY
A metal hand pushes away the cement border of its grave. CLARA steps back. She keeps an eye on it as she continues to back away. She sees glimpses of silver behind trees and other gravestones. She turns around and sees Cybermen climbing out of virtually every grave!
INT. PLANE, MAIN CABIN, DAY
AHMED:
They're not attacking, apart from isolated incidents. They're just wandering about.
DOCTOR:
They're newborns. Give them time. Why were you there this morning, why were you already attacking?
KATE:
Been investigating 3W for a while then we got a tip-off.
AHMED:
From a woman with a Scottish accent.
DOCTOR:
Can't play to the gallery unless there's a gallery and here I am. Dead bodies don't have minds, of course, but she's been upgrading dying minds to a hard drive for a long time. So she upgrades the hardware, then she updates the software.
KATE:
What do you mean "a long time"? How long?
DOCTOR:
Well, she must have a TARDIS somewhere, so as long as she likes, the past, the future...
KATE:
How long, Doctor?
DOCTOR:
How long has the human race had a concept of an afterlife? Turns out, the afterlife is real. And it's emptying. Every graveyard on planet Earth is about to burst its banks.
INT. PLANE, CARGO HOLD
MISSY hums and then starts to sing.
MISSY:
(sings) Hey, Missy, you're so fine, you're so fine you blow my mind! Hey, Missy! Hey.. (speaks) Excuse me. Hi. Can I tell you something really important?
OSGOOD:
What?
MISSY:
(whispers) I have to whisper it. It's, like, so important to everyone on this plane. You'll get in trouble if you don't listen.
OSGOOD:
Right, if it was important, why would you tell us?
MISSY:
Well, look at me, I'm bananas. (Come on.) Just a wee bit closer. Just a little closer. The Doctor will be really impressed if you learn my secrets.
OSGOOD walks over to MISSY but leaves some distance.
MISSY:
You can come a bit closer than that. Come on, stop mucking about. Don't be shy. You don't smell half as bad as you think you do.
OSGOOD:
(steps closer) There are two armed men directly behind you.
MISSY:
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
OSGOOD:
If you've got something to say, just say it.
MISSY clears her throat and OSGOOD leans in closer.
MISSY:
(whispers into OSGOOD’S ear) I'm going to kill you in a minute.
OSGOOD pulls away.
MISSY:
I'm not even kidding. You're going to be as dead as a fish on a slab any second now, all floppy and making smells. (whispers) But don't tell the boys. This is our secret girl plan.
OSGOOD:
Why would you bother killing me? I'm not even important.
MISSY:
Oh, silly! Why does one pop a balloon? Because you're pretty. You should have a bit more confidence in yourself.
OSGOOD:
OK. Sorry, I've got work to do. (walks back to desk)
MISSY:
All right, fine. You get on. You get that finished. Would a countdown help you focus at all?
OSGOOD:
No, that's OK.
MISSY:
Ten. Don't be scared yet, cos I'm still in double figures.
OSGOOD:
(works on computer) I'm not scared.
MISSY:
Nine. Well, no, of course you're not, cos you know you're dying anyway. Eight. Human beings are born dying. Your life spans are hilarious.
OSGOOD:
Please be quiet.
MISSY:
Seven. You know from the minute you slop out, you're rotting, decaying. The stench of you - phew! I'm never going to get this place clean. Three.
OSGOOD:
Three?!
MISSY:
I'm accelerating for dramatic effect. Oh! What's THAT in your pocket?
OSGOOD:
There's nothing in my... (reaches into pocket and pulls out handcuffs)
MISSY:
Oh, my giddy aunt. The quiet ones are the worst.
OSGOOD:
Well, those aren't mine.
MISSY:
Hmm... (puts on lipstick) Then they must be mine.
MISSY moves quickly over to OSGOOD and puts an arm around her neck from behind. She then evaporates the two soldiers.
MISSY:
Say something nice.
OSGOOD:
Missy, the Master, whatever you call yourself, I promise, I'm much more useful to you alive.
MISSY:
Oh, yeah, that's true. That's definitely true, that is a good point well made. I'm proud of you, sister. But did I mention... bananas! Pop. (incinerates OSGOOD) Ah... thanks for being yummy.
MISSY then crushes OSGOOD’S glasses under her shoe before pressing a button on her bracelet that seemingly over-rides the plane’s controls as it starts to sway. She hangs on to straps hanging from the ceiling.
MISSY:
Whoo-oo!
INT. PLANE, MAIN CABIN, DAY
The plane rocks with turbulence. The DOCTOR picks up flowers from the vase near the Brigadier’s portrait.
KATE:
Mr President, you need to get back in your seat.
DOCTOR:
I don't like being the president, people keep saluting. I'm never going to salute back.
KATE:
Do you know, that was always my dad's big ambition - to get you to salute him, just once.
DOCTOR:
(looks at portrait) He should've asked. (looks out window)
KATE:
Doctor, what are you looking at?
DOCTOR:
The clouds. Still there. So what else have they got?
A Cyberman appears at the window. The DOCTOR and KATE back away in surprise.
KATE:
Oh, dear Lord!
DOCTOR:
There's a Cyberman out there on the fuselage. But, on the plus side, it's not turbulence. (looks at monitor and sees MISSY is gone) She's out! Who let her out?!
AHMED:
(at window) What's it doing? Where did it go? What can one Cyberman do to a plane?
EXT. PLANE
There are at least four Cybermen following the plane with rocket boots a la Iron Man.
INT. PLANE, CARGO HOLD
The DOCTOR slides down the ladder and looks around. He inadvertently steps in the ashes that were once OSGOOD. He goes down on one knee and picks up her glasses. MISSY pops out from behind the TARDIS.
MISSY:
Oh, she was really scared, it's classic.
The DOCTOR stands and glares at her.
MISSY:
Have you got any more friends I can play with?
EXT. CEMETERY, DAY
CLARA walks carefully around the Cybermen who don’t seem to notice her.
CYBERMAN:
Locate hive. Locate hive. Locate hive. Locate hive.
She sees one standing apart from the others, seemingly watching her. The light of its chest unit is dark. It turns its back and starts to walk away. CLARA goes closer.
CLARA:
Are you the one that brought me here?
CYBERMAN 2:
Affirmative.
CLARA:
So you know who I am, right?
CYBERMAN 2:
(faces CLARA) You are not the Doctor. (holds paper in its fist)
CLARA:
Of course I'm not the Doctor. I was lying to stay alive. But how do I know so much about him?
CYBERMAN 2:
You are his associate.
CLARA:
No, I'm not. I'm not his associate. I'm his best friend. Right now, his best friend, anywhere in the universe. Have you got any sort of Cyber-Internet in there because, really, you should look it up. Look up what happens to you, if you harm me.
CYBERMAN 2:
(steps forward) Where is the Doctor?
CLARA:
(scoffs) What, you think I would give up the Doctor? Don't be daft. I would never, ever, give up the Doctor. Because he is my best friend, too. He is the closest person to me in this whole world. He is the man I will always forgive, always trust, the one man I would never, ever lie to.
As she speaks, the CYBERMAN clenches the paper. When she is done, it raises its right arm, exposing the gun, aiming it at her. His arm shakes before he lowers it, unable to shoot her. He then removes the faceplate.
CLARA:
Danny?
CYBER-DANNY:
(drops the paper) Danny Pink is dead. Help me.
CLARA:
Oh, my God. Danny... (reaches out)
CYBER-DANNY:
Help me.
CLARA:
Danny... I am so sorry.
CYBER-DANNY:
Help me. I need you to do something for me. I can't do it myself. (removes disc from center of chest to reveal circuitry)
CLARA:
What is that?
CYBER-DANNY:
It's an inhibitor. It's not activated. I need you to switch it on.
CLARA:
What does it inhibit?
CYBER-DANNY:
Emotion. It deletes emotions. Please. (breaks) I don't want to feel like this.
EXT. PLANE
We see one of the Cybermen on the fuselage and another grabs the left rear wing. Another lands on an engine. There are more flying around it.
INT. PLANE, MAIN CABIN, DAY
AHMED:
There's more than one.
KATE:

AHMED:
They're all over the plane, they're pulling it apart!
One of the Cybermen pounds on a window.
INT. PLANE, CARGO HOLD
MISSY walks a little unsteadily towards the DOCTOR.
MISSY:
Oh, o-o-oh. Ask me.
DOCTOR:
(fuming) Shut up!
MISSY:
(puts hands on hips) Ask me! Come on, you know you want to. You want to know what my plan is. You'll be surprised. I've got a gift for you. You know, I've been up and down your timeline, meeting all those silly people who die to keep you alive. (pokes him in the chest) And you know what I worked out? What you really need!
DOCTOR:
For what?
MISSY:
To know that you're just like me!
A telephone rings.
MISSY:
Oh, and now it begins.
It is the phone of the TARDIS.
MISSY:
Doctor, I do believe you're on-call. Miss Oswald expects. Who else but the girl who's got your number? Whoops!
The DOCTOR runs over to the TARDIS while MISSY talks. The phone continues as the DOCTOR confronts her.
DOCTOR:
It was you!
>>>FLASHBACK<<<
(from “The Bells of St. John”)
CLARA:
Ah, hello.
DOCTOR:
(paces the room, tangling the cord) Listen, where did you get this number?
CLARA:
Woman in the shop wrote it down. It's the helpline, isn't it?
>>>END FLASHBACK<<<
MISSY:
(Cockney accent?) Computer helpline, love. That's the one. Best helpline in the universe.
DOCTOR:
You put us together.
MISSY:
I kept you together.

Then there's a woman out there who's very keen that we stay together.
>>>END FLASHBACK<<<
DOCTOR:
Why?
MISSY:
Cos she's perfect, innit? The control freak and the man who should never be controlled You'd go to hell, if she asked. And she would. The phone's ringing, Doctor, can you hear that? Now that's the sound of your chain being yanked. Heel, Doctor! Help me, Doctor! Help me! Help me, Doctor!

'Not yet.' Not quite. But he wants to be.
DOCTOR:
'Clara...'
CLARA turns to see DANNY quietly sobbing.
DOCTOR:
Clara?
CLARA:
He's a Cyberman. 'Doctor, Danny's a Cyberman.' And he's crying. Doctor, he feels it, he's crying.
The DOCTOR leans against the TARDIS.
INT. PLANE, MAIN CABIN, DAY
The Cybermen continue to pound on the plane from the outside. KATE picks up an internal phone.
KATE:
Message to Geneva. Tell them Boat One is going down. We don't anticipate survivors.
One of the Cybermen breaks a window and grabs AHMED by the neck. The depressurization alarm sounds. The people in the cabin rush about. AHMED is sucked out through the window.

CLARA is facing DANNY and she has her hand hovering over the circuitry in his chest.
CLARA:
It's in his chest. He says it's an inhibitor. It can delete emotion, or something.

I know what it does. If you turn it on, he'll become a Cyberman.
CLARA:
He's already a Cyberman.
DOCTOR:
Not yet, he isn't.
CLARA:
He's hurting because I hurt him and he wants it to stop.
DOCTOR:
Stop the pain and he'll kill you!
CLARA:
Look, are you going to help me? Because I can't do this alone.
DOCTOR:
(falls back against the TARDIS) I'm not going to help you commit suicide.
CLARA:
Look, the TARDIS can home in on this call, right? Either you help me, or you leave me alone. (throws away mobile and works on the wires)
DOCTOR:
Clara? Clara, no...
CLARA:
(to CYBER-DANNY) There's a lot of switches round the edge. I'm going to try pressing them all.
CYBER-DANNY:
OK.
CLARA:
(gently touches his face) I am so sorry.
CYBER-DANNY:
Yeah. (hand clenches)
INT. PLANE, CARGO HOLD
KATE climbs down the ladder.
KATE:
Doctor! The Cybermen are in! The plane's going down!
MISSY:
Oh, great. It's the daughter one. Do you like her? I like her.
MISSY presses a button on her bracelet and the cargo door falls away and KATE is sucked out of the plane. The DOCTOR is holding onto one of the straps.
DOCTOR:
Why did you do that? You didn't have to do that!
MISSY:
Oh, don't be so selfish. I'm going to miss her, too. In fact, you know what? Just for that, I'm leaving. (talks into bracelet) Boys, blow up this plane and, I don't know... Belgium, yeah? Kill some Belgians. Might as well. They're not even French. Byeeee! (teleports away)
The plane explodes and the DOCTOR screams as he free-falls.
NETHERSPHERE, BALCONY
MISSY and SEB are watching the DOCTOR fall onscreen.
MISSY:
Well, that's very boring. Oh, he's just going to... squish. What kind of a way is that to die? That man has NO finesse, none.
SEB:
Well, it's quite dramatic.
MISSY:
You're an AI interface, kindly delete your opinions, thank you.
CONTINUED, INTERCUT WITH -
- CUT TO:
EXT. SKY
The DOCTOR reaches into his inner jacket pocket.
SEB:
W-W-What's he doing? Is he...? Is he? Oh, no! Oh, no, no, no. N-Now, that's...
The DOCTOR has used his key to summon the TARDIS and does a direct dive towards it.
SEB:
Oh! Permission to... squeeeee...
MISSY deletes him with her device. The DOCTOR falls closer to the TARDIS, key outstretched. We then see sky above the clouds and soon the TARDIS emerges through the clouds.
EXT. CEMETERY, DAY
CLARA is still working on the wiring. The other Cybermen wander aimlessly or just remain still.
CLARA:
Two more to go. Does it feel any different?
CYBER-DANNY:
No.
CLARA:
Are you sure?
CYBER-DANNY:
Yeah.
The DOCTOR hurries up to them.
DOCTOR:
Clara, don't!
CLARA:
Help me.
DOCTOR:
If you do what you're trying to do, if you succeed, he will snap you.
CLARA:
(shakes head) No.
DOCTOR:
Then he will step over your broken body and break another and another and another. He will never stop.
CYBER-DANNY:
I will not harm her.
The DOCTOR goes to CYBER-DANNY ready to argue the point but stops when he sees his face. He walks around the former teacher, forlorn.
DOCTOR:
PE... PE...
CYBER-DANNY:
Sir.
DOCTOR:
I had a friend once. We ran together, when I was little. And I thought we were the same. But when we grew up, we weren't. Now, she's trying to tear the world apart, and I can't run fast enough to hold it together. The difference... is this. (puts his hand on CYBER-DANNY’S chest unit) Pain is a gift. Without the capacity for pain, we can't feel the hurt we inflict.
CYBER-DANNY:
Are you telling me, seriously, for real, that you can?
DOCTOR:
Of course I can.
CYBER-DANNY:
Then shame on you, Doctor.
DOCTOR:
Yes. Oh, yes.
Thunder rumbles.
DOCTOR:
Danny, Danny, I need you to tell me, what are the clouds going to do? What is the plan?
CYBER-DANNY:
How would I know?
DOCTOR:
You're part of a hive mind now. Presumably, that's how you found Clara. Just look.
CYBER-DANNY:
I can't see much.
DOCTOR:
Look harder.
CYBER-DANNY:
Clara, watch this. This is who the Doctor is. Watch the blood-soaked old general in action. I can't see properly, sir, because this needs activating. If you want to know what's coming, you have to switch... it... on. And didn't all of those beautiful speeches just disappear in the face of a tactical advantage? Sir?
The DOCTOR looks from CYBER-DANNY’S chest and back to his face. He slowly backs away and sighs.
DOCTOR:
I need to know. I need to know.
CYBER-DANNY:
(softly) Yes. (normally) Yes, you do.
CLARA:
Give me the screwdriver.
DOCTOR:
No.
CLARA:
Just do it, Doctor. Do as you are told.
After a moment of indecision, the DOCTOR give CLARA the sonic.
CYBER-DANNY:
Typical officer. Got to keep those hands clean.
The DOCTOR looks at CYBER-DANNY before walking away.
CLARA:
Just point and think, yeah?
DOCTOR:
Yes.
The DOCTOR stops and supports himself with a hand against a gravestone.
CLARA:
(raises the screwdriver) (tearfully) OK. I wasn't very good at it... but I did love you.
CYBER-DANNY:
I loved you, too.
CLARA:
(turns the sonic in her hand) I'm never going to say that again.
CYBER-DANNY:
Me neither.
CLARA raised the screwdriver above her head in a moment of hesitation before lowering it again.
CLARA:
Ready?
CYBER-DANNY:
Yeah.
CLARA sobs and her hand trembles.
CLARA:
It feels like I'm killing you.
CYBER-DANNY:
I'm already dead. You're here this time at least.
CLARA:
Goodbye, Danny.
CYBER-DANNY:
Goodbye, Clara.
CLARA closes her eyes and presses the button on the sonic and it whirrs. CYBER-DANNY straightens and looks blank. CLARA sobs and goes to hug him. The DOCTOR hurries over.
DOCTOR:
Clara, no! Step away! He's activating! Clara, step away now! Don't... (puts his hands on CLARA’S shoulders) Danny, Danny, if you can hear me, if you're still there, what are the clouds going to do?
CYBER-DANNY:
(monotone) The rain will fall again. All humanity will die.
DOCTOR:
And rise again as Cybermen?
CYBER-DANNY:
Correct.
DOCTOR:
How do we stop it?
CYBER-DANNY:
We cannot be stopped.
There is a whooshing and a vertical beam of blue light appears and MISSY floats down with her open parasol - very Mary Poppins.
MISSY:
Oh, that was BRILLIANT! I love the telly here, but did you see THAT? Oh, Clara, you poor thing, you must feel like death. Let me pop away the pain. (hits a few keys on her device)
DOCTOR:
(grabs device and throws it away) Don't you dare! Don't you think about it!
MISSY:
Oh, sorry, hon, I'm just getting a bit carried away. It's your friends, they're so more-ish. Hmm?
CLARA picks up the device and then goes back to DANNY.
MISSY:
Oh, stop looking all cross-pants. I'm here to give you a gift. Could you at least try and be excited?
DOCTOR:
What gift?
MISSY:
(speaks into bracelet) Cyberdears!
The Cybermen in the cemetery salute, hand over chest.
MISSY:
(speaks into bracelet) Look at Mummy!! Raise your arms. Lower your arms. Raise your right. Lower your right. Turn on the spot. There are exits at the front and rear of the aircraft. Please follow the lights up the aisle.
The Cybermen follow her instructions.
MISSY:
You see, Doctor? The power to slaughter whole worlds at a time, then make them do a safety briefing. Everyone who ever lived - man, woman and child - is now at my command. An indestructible army to rage across the universe. The more they kill, the more they recruit. Happy birthday. Oh! You didn't know, did you? It's lucky one of us remembers these things. Happy birthday... (sings like Marilyn Monroe) ? Mr President. ?
MISSY puts the bracelet on his wrist then bows. The Cybermen acknowledge the change of leadership.
CYBERMAN:
Doctor. (bows head)
All Cybermen bow heads.
MISSY:
Tiny bit pleased?
The DOCTOR looks at the Cybermen and then back at MISSY.
MISSY:
Oh, go on, crack a smile. I want to see if your eyebrows drop off.
DOCTOR:
All of this... All of it, just to give me an army?
MISSY:
Well, I don't need one, do I? Armies are for people who think they're right. And nobody thinks they're righter than you!
The DOCTOR tries to take off the bracelet but she puts her hands on his.
MISSY
(walks forcing the DOCTOR backwards) Give a good man firepower, and he'll never run out of people to kill.
DOCTOR:
I don't want an army.
MISSY:
Well, that's the trouble! Yes, you do! You've always wanted one! All those people suffering in the Dalek camps? Now you can save them. All those bad guys winning all the wars? Go and get the good guys back.
DOCTOR:
Nobody can have that power.
MISSY:
You will because you don't have a choice. There's only way you can stop these clouds from opening up and killing all your little pets down here. Conquer the universe, Mr President. Show a bad girl how it's done. (deep curtsey)
DOCTOR:
(pulls at the bracelet) Why are you doing this?
MISSY:
I need you to know we're not so different. I need my friend back. Every battle, every war, every invasion - from now on, you decide the outcome. What's the matter, Mr President? Don't you trust yourself?
>>>FLASHBACK<<<
(from “Into the Dalek”)
INT. TARDIS
DOCTOR:
'Tell me.' Am I a good man?
(from “The Caretaker”)
DANNY:
(salutes) Sir!.
>>>END FLASHBACK<<<
The DOCTOR fidgets with the bracelet as he looks at CLARA hugging CYBER-DANNY and the other Cybermen awaiting orders.
>>>FLASHBACK<<<
(from “Into the Dalek”)
INT. DALEK
RUSTY:
I see into your soul, Doctor. I…see…hatred.
>>>END FLASHBACK<<<
The DOCTOR looks skyward.
>>>FLASHBACK<<<
(from “Robot of Sherwood”)
EXT. SHERWOOD FOREST, DAY
DOCTOR:
I'm not a hero.
(from “Into the Dalek”)
INT. ARISTOTLE
RUSTY:
YOU are a good Dalek.
>>>END FLASHBACK<<<
Resolved, the DOCTOR turns to MISSY.
DOCTOR:
Thank you! Thank you so much. (kneels and kisses MISSY gently on the lips) I really didn't know. I wasn't sure. You lose sight sometimes. Thank you!
(stands and rushes away) I am NOT a good man! (smiles at MISSY who stands) And I'm not a bad man. I am not a hero. And I'm definitely not a president. And, no, I'm not an officer. Do you know what I am? I... am... an idiot, with a box and a screwdriver. Passing through, helping out, learning. I don't need an army, I never have, because I've got them. (points at CLARA and CYBER-DANNY) Always them. Because love, it's not an emotion, love is a promise.
CYBER-DANNY hugs CLARA with his right arm.
DOCTOR:
And HE will NEVER hurt her. PE, catch! (throws the bracelet)
CYBER-DANNY catches the bracelet in his left hand.
DOCTOR:
You didn't notice, did you? While you were doing all your silly orders, while you were showing off, the one soldier not obeying.
MISSY:
No, that's wrong, that's impossible.
CLARA and CYBER-DANNY part.
CYBER-DANNY:
(puts on the bracelet as he walks over to MISSY) The rain will not fall.
MISSY:
Oh? Why won't it?
CYBER-DANNY:
The clouds will burn.
MISSY:
And who'll burn them?
CYBER-DANNY:
I will burn them.
MISSY:
How?
CYBER-DANNY:
I will burn.
MISSY:
One burning Cyberman is hardly going to save the planet.
CYBER-DANNY:
Correct. (turns and speaks into bracelet) Attention!
The Cybermen in the cemetery stand to attention.
CYBER-DANNY:
This is not a good day. This is Earth's darkest hour. And look at you miserable lot! We are the fallen. But today, we shall rise. The army of the dead will save the land of the living. This is not the order of a general... nor the whim of a lunatic.
MISSY:
Excuse me?!
CYBER-DANNY:
This is a promise! The promise of a soldier! (turns to CLARA) You will sleep safe tonight.
The Cybermen take to the sky. CLARA closes her eyes. There is a fire in the sky and we see the clouds begin to burn away over the cemetery as well as London, New York and Sydney. The DOCTOR, CLARA and MISSY stand alone in the cemetery, a blue sky above them.
CLARA:
Well. The clouds have all gone.
DOCTOR:
Yes, burned up, totally burnt, burnt to nothing. (looks at CLARA) Sorry.
MISSY:
10-0-11-00 by 02.
DOCTOR:
What did you say??
MISSY:
The current co-ordinates of Gallifrey. It's returned to its original location. Didn't you ever think to look?
DOCTOR:
(strides over to her) You are lying!
MISSY:
We can... We can go together. Just you and me, just like the old days.
DOCTOR:
You'd be clapped in irons.
MISSY:
If you like.
CLARA:
Doctor, I'm assuming you'll remember those co-ordinates? (aims MISSY’S own device at her)
DOCTOR:
No. No, don't you dare, I won't let you.
CLARA:
Old friend, is she? If you have ever let this creature live, everything that happened today, is on you. All of it, on YOU. And you're not going to let her live again.
DOCTOR:
Clara... all I'm doing is not letting you kill her. I never said I was letting her live.
CLARA:
Really?
DOCTOR:
If that's the only thing that will stop you... yes.
CLARA gives him the device. He turns to face MISSY.
MISSY:
Seriously? Oh, Doctor. To save her soul? (stands between two gravestones and chuckles) But who, my dear, will save yours? Say something nice. Please?
The DOCTOR rubs his face and sighs.
DOCTOR:
You win.
MISSY:
I know.
The DOCTOR fires and a blue light emerges from the device and MISSY is gone. He turns to CLARA. They see a lone Cyberman looking at them. It then motions to its left. CLARA sees something.
CLARA:
Doctor!
They run between the graves and find KATE unconscious on the ground. They kneel on either side of her.
DOCTOR:
Kate! She's breathing. She's alive! She can't be here!
CLARA:
She is.
DOCTOR:
She fell out of a plane! The Cyberman... must have caught her. (stands)
CLARA leans over KATE.
CLARA:
Doctor, she's talking about her dad!
DOCTOR:
(looks at Cyberman) Of course! The Earth's darkest hour and mine. Where else would you be? (salutes)
The Cyberman bows his head and takes off. CLARA watches.
DOCTOR:
(whispers) Thank you.
>>>2 WEEKS LATER<<<
INT, CLARA’S FLAT, BEDROOM, NIGHT
CLARA is asleep is bed and is awoken by a whispered voice.
DANNY:
'Clara... Clara...'
CLARA:
Danny?
INT, CLARA’S FLAT, HALL, NIGHT
CLARA steps into the hallway.
CLARA:
Danny? Is that you?
A glowing light appears at the opposite end of the hall and spreads out from the center.
CLARA:
Please say it's you.
A man-shaped shadow appears in the light.
DANNY:
'Clara...'
CLARA:
The Doctor told me about the bracelet, how it can let Missy travel from one world to the other.
DANNY:
'This place is dying now.'
CLARA:
Yes, but the bracelet can bring you home.
DANNY:
'There's only enough power for one trip.'
CLARA:
Then, come on. Hurry up!
DANNY:
'Just one trip. One trip, one person.'
A figure starts to walk forward through the light.
CLARA:
Danny!
CLARA watches eagerly but it is the BOY DANNY killed.
DANNY:
'You need to find his parents. He died a long time ago.'
The BOY looks around in wonder and gasps.
DANNY:
'I'm sorry, Clara. (sobs) I truly am. I had... I had promises to keep.'
The bracelet falls from the BOY’S arm and sizzles as the energy dies. The light behind the BOY fades. Tears fall down CLARA’S face.
INT. CAFÉ, DAY
CLARA is sitting at a table, fingers drumming the surface. She is wearing the now-spent bracelet. The bell over the door rings and the DOCTOR enters, making his way to the table.
DOCTOR:
Hey.
CLARA:
Hey.
DOCTOR:
I got your message. (sits opposite)
CLARA:
Two weeks late.
DOCTOR:
Not bad.
CLARA:
Improving.
DOCTOR:
I see you've got news for me.
CLARA:
News?
DOCTOR:
(nods at bracelet) He figured it out then? PE figured out there was a way home.
CLARA:
(looks at table) Yeah. Yeah, he did.
DOCTOR:
Oh, good old PE. He'll make a maths teacher yet.
CLARA:
Listen, Doctor. There's something that I have to tell you and, um... it's not good news so just listen, OK?
DOCTOR:
I know.
CLARA:
Sorry?
DOCTOR:
I know exactly what you've got to tell me.
CLARA:
(sits back in surprise) You do?
DOCTOR:
You and Danny are together now. That's great, that's how it should be. But the old man and the blue box, that's never going to fit in. So, no more flying around, no more lying.
CLARA:
OK, no, that's not exactly...
DOCTOR:
It's fine.
CLARA:
No, it's NOT fine. It... It really isn't... fine.
DOCTOR:
I've found Gallifrey!
CLARA:
Wow! Oh, my God...
CONTINUED, INTERCUT WITH -
- CUT TO:
INT. TARDIS
The DOCTOR is at the controls.
DOCTOR: (v.o.)
'I entered the co-ordinates, just like she said.' And I found Gallifrey.
The TARDIS materializes and the DOCTOR walks slowly to the door.
DOCTOR:
For once, she wasn't lying.
The DOCTOR opens the door and there is nothing there. He slowly closes the door and walks back to the console, his face a mask. He starts punching the console and sparks fly. He grits his teeth and starts hitting with both hands. He then falls to his knees, resting his head on the console.
CLARA:
So, what are you going to do now?
DOCTOR:
Go home.
CLARA:
OK.
DOCTOR:
Gallifrey can be a good place. I can help make it that.
CLARA:
What, you?
DOCTOR:
Shut up!
CLARA:
You won't just steal a TARDIS and run away?
DOCTOR:
No, not this time. Never again.
CLARA looks out the window at the TARDIS.
CLARA:
Never again.
DOCTOR:
It's a long commute, so, you know I thought, with you and Danny...
CLARA:
Yeah. Me and Danny. (leans on the table and puts on a smile for the DOCTOR) Me and Danny, we are going to be fine. Don't you worry. You go home. (chuckles) Go home. Go be a king or something.
DOCTOR:
Yeah, I might do that.
CLARA:
Or queen, you know, whatever.
DOCTOR:
Yeah, queen, that would be good, too.
CLARA:
(laughs) Yeah... (sighs heavily) Tell you what, seeing as it's goodbye, shall we break a habit?
DOCTOR:
What? What habit?
CLARA:
Hug?
DOCTOR:
Why not? Within reason. (stands) Come on, you're on the clock.
CLARA:
Fair enough. (stands)
CLARA holds her arms out in front whereas the DOCTOR has his barely out and low. She puts her arms around his neck, pulling him close. The DOCTOR hesitantly puts his arms around her.
CLARA:
Why don't you like hugging, Doctor?
DOCTOR:
Never trust a hug... it's just a way to hide your face.
CLARA:
Yeah.
Their faces show the sadness they hid from each other.
EXT. STREET, DAY
The DOCTOR walks towards the TARDIS ready to depart. He steps inside but turns when CLARA calls him.
CLARA:
Doctor? Travelling with you made me feel really special. Thank you for that. Thank you for making me feel special.
DOCTOR:
Thank you for exactly the same.
They look at each other for a moment before the DOCTOR closes the door. CLARA stands and watches as the TARDIS dematerializes. She then walks away into the crowd.

The DOCTOR is sitting near the console, his head held up by a hand on his face. There is a knocking. The DOCTOR becomes aware with a start.
VOICE: (muffled)
Coo-ee!
The knocking continues.
MAN: (muffled)
Hello? Doctor!
The DOCTOR looks at the door, seemingly recognizing the voice.
MAN: (muffled)
You know it can't end like that!
The DOCTOR gets up and walks towards the door. He stops at the console.
MAN: (muffled)
Mm? We need to get this sorted and quickly. She's not all right, you know. And neither are you. I'm coming in.
Light and snow come through the open door. We also hear jingling bells.
MAN:
Ah, there you are. I knew I'd get round to you eventually. Now, stop gawping, and tell me...
We finally see the MAN is…
SANTA:
what do you want for Christmas?
The DOCTOR raises an eyebrow.
