“The Witch's Familiar”

In this episode: Twelfth Doctor (6), Davros (4), Dalek Supreme (2), Missy (1)

[Having just survived being fired upon by Daleks, the Doctor sits calmly in Davros' chair, sipping a cup of tea.]

Now, the real question is: Where did he get the cup of tea? Answer: I'm the Doctor. Just accept it.

You are unharmed.

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

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.]

Listen to that... The Doctor without hope.

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

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?!

He'll burn everything. Us, too.

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

Compassion, then.

Always.

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

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

Why did you leave Gallifrey?

Well, because I did.

You stole a TARDIS, and ran and ran. Why?

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

Yet you long to return.

Ah, well, I'm inconsistent.

But it is always the same lie.

What lie?

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

Did I do right, Doctor? Tell me… was I right? I need to know, before the end. Am I a good man?

You really are dying, aren't you?

Look at me. Did you doubt it?

Yes.

Then we have established one thing only.

What?

You are not… a good doctor. [After a moment, the Doctor laughs, and Davros laughs with him.]
