“Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS”

In this episode: Eleventh Doctor (4), Clara Oswald (3)

BBram

How big is this baby?

Picture the biggest ship you've ever seen. Are you picturing it?

BBram

Yeah.

Good, now forget it, because this ship's infinite.

BBram

It'll take you hours to find the girl.

Days, plus this whole ship is toxic, she'll be dead by the time I reach her. So, here's the mission. We're going to find her in one hour.

BBram

We?

You're my guys for this.

BBram

That wasn't the deal!

It is now.

GGregor

And what makes you think we'll help?

[The Doctor flips down two levers, a timer appears on the screen.]

I just activated the TARDIS self-destruct system. [59:56:90 counts down with beeps] One hour until this ship blows. [Bram rushes for the doors, but the Doctor locks them with the flick of a switch] Don't try to leave! The TARDIS is in lockdown. I'll open those doors when Clara's by my side.

BBram

You crazy lunatic!

My ship, my rules!

GGregor

You'll kill us all, and the girl.

She's going to die if you don't help me. Don't get into a spaceship with a mad man. Didn't anyone teach you that?

It isn't just the past leaking out through the time rift, it's the future. Listen, I brought you here to keep you safe, but it happened again. You died again.

What do you mean again?

If you don't have a plan, we're dead!

Yes. We are. So just tell me.

Tell you what?

Well, we're about to die. There's no point now. Just tell me who you are.

[puzzled] You know who I am.

No, I don't. I look at you at you every single day, and I don't understand a thing about you. Why do I keep running into you?

Doctor, you invited me. You said —

Before that. I met you at the Dalek Asylum. There was a girl in a shipwreck, and she died saving my life, and she was you.

She really wasn't.

Victorian London. There was a governess who was really a barmaid, and we fought the Great Intelligence together. She died, and it was my fault, and she was you!

You're scaring me.

What are you, eh? A trick? A trap?

I don't know what you're talking about! [She stumbles backwards, and the Doctor clasps her to keep her from falling over the cliff beside them]

...You really don't, do you?

I think I'm more scared of you right now than anything else on that TARDIS.

You're just Clara, aren't you? [he hugs her]

Okay. I don't know what the hell this is about, but the hug is really nice.

What are you going to do?

Rewrite today, I hope. I've thrown this through the time rift before. I need to make sure this time. Gonna take it in there myself. There might be a certain amount of yelling.

Is it going to hurt?

Things that end your life often do that.

Wait! All those things you said. How we've met before, how I died.

Clara, don't worry. You'll forget. Time mends us. It can mend anything.

I don't wanna forget. Not all of it. The library. I saw it. You were mentioned in a book.

I'm mentioned in a lot of books.

You call yourself "Doctor". Why do you do that? You have a name. I've seen it in one corner of that tiny - [He silences her]

If I rewrite today, you won't remember. You won't go looking... for my name.

You'll still have secrets?

It's better that way.
