Scenes with Missy 10

(May 2025)

MMissy

Do you have any idea about the consequences of your actions? Do you want to know about the war you started?

What war?

MMissy

The Great Time War between Skaro and Gallifrey.

A conflict between the two does seem inevitable.

MMissy

Oh, yes. Because you've already fought the opening skirmishes. You just don't realise it yet. Tell me -- what did you think would happen when you unleashed the Hand of Omega on Skaro's sun and incinerated their homeworld, hm?

I didn't pull the trigger...

MMissy

Oh, no. You manipulated Davros into it. It was masterful. But do you really think that means your hands are clean, given you'd already been on a covert mission to avert the Daleks' very creation? Did you think he'd hesitate? That afterwards, they wouldn't retaliate?

Retaliation? It's a possibility.

MMissy

It's a certainty. I survived it. I watched the universe burn, and all the dark deeds I've ever done pale into insignificance against its death toll.

Is that true?

MMissy

Lord Voltaire's world was obliterated. The oceans vaporised. I once told him there were survivors, but I lied. He was the last of his kind and millions of other worlds suffered the same fate.

Something had to be done! I had to take a stand. The threat was only growing...

MMissy

You lit the blue touchpaper on Armageddon and walked away. You see, we have so much in common. You'd burn worlds to get what you want, and so would I.

MMissy

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

Well, there is, er, no immediate hurry. We're just, er. We're just…

Browsing.

Yeah, yeah, browsing.

MMissy

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

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

Yeah. Great.

Exactly what is 3W?

MMissy

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

Well, you know, it's just an unexpected—

MMissy

[Missy lunges at the Doctor, pushing him against the wall, kissing him intently. The Doctor grabs the wall for support. Missy kisses his nose thrice and steps back.] Welcome to the 3W institute.

Clara, is it over now?

I think it's over, yeah.

MMissy

You also have not received the official welcome package. [Leans in to Clara]

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

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

What do you want?

Clara Oswald. I want Clara Oswald, safe, alive, and returned to me immediately! You bring her back -- you do that! You do that now! Unharmed, unhurt, alive.

Your associate--

I saw what happened, I was there! And I'm hoping, for all our sakes, that it was a trick!

It was not a deception.

Because if Clara Oswald is really dead... Then you'd better be very, very careful how you tell me.

[Missy and Clara listen from the sewers.]

MMissy

Listen to that... The Doctor without hope.

Who's going to tell me? Who's going to go first?

MMissy

Nobody's safe now.

All the power Davros had is mine! Everything he had, I have! Who's going to tell me Clara Oswald is really dead?!

MMissy

He'll burn everything. Us, too.

[Missy has revealed her plan to stop the Monks -- turning Bill into a vegetable]

Even if that was the truth, the fact that you're suggesting it shows there's been no change. No hope, no point. We don't sacrifice because it's wrong. Because it's easy.

MMissy

You know, back in the day, I burned an entire city to the ground just to see the pretty shapes the smoke made. I'm sorry your plus one doesn't get a happy ending. But like it or not, I just saved this world because I want to change. Your version of "good" is not absolute. It's vain and arrogant and sentimental. If you're waiting for me to become all that, I'm going to be here for a long time yet.

MMissy

[tearfully] You remember all the people I've killed? Every day, I think of them all. Being bad… being bad. I didn't know I even knew their names. You didn't tell me about this bit.

I'm sorry, but this is good.

MMissy

[trying to hold it together] Okay.

MMissy

I don't even know why I'm crying. Why? Why do I keep doing that now?

I don't know. Maybe you're trying to impress me.

MMissy

Yes. Probably some devious plan. That sounds about right.

The alternative would be much worse.

MMissy

Really?

The alternative is that this is for real, and it's time for us to become friends again.

MMissy

Do you think so?

[Missy reaches for the Doctor but he steps back. He then takes her hands in his.]

I don't know. That's the trouble with hope. It's hard to resist.

JJorg

Hello? Who’s there, hello? Please report status.

MMissy

Ooh, look at this one! You’re probably handsome, aren’t you? Congratulations on your relative symmetry.

JJorg

Who are you?

MMissy

Well, I'm that mysterious adventurer in time and space, known only as Doctor Who, and these are my disposables - Exposition and Comic Relief.

We're not functions!

MMissy

Darling, those were genders.

[Bill has been converted into a Mondasian Cyberman]

Bill? Bill, talk to me. What have they done to you?

Operation Exodus… whatever that is.

MMissy

[from behind them] Well, wrong name, for a start.

CBCyberman Bill

I… waited.

MMissy

[standing at one side of Bill] This is not an exodus, is it? More of a beginning, really, isn't it?

CBCyberman Bill

I… waited.

[from behind the Doctor] In fact, d'you know what I'd call it? [enters and stands on the other side of Bill]

[Realizing who it is, the Doctor looks on in shock.]

I'd call it a genesis.

MMissy

You've met the ex.

Specifically… the genesis of the Cybermen.

CBCyberman Bill

[pointing at the Doctor] I… waited… for you. [a single tear runs from Bill's left eye and through her cybermask]
