Doctor Who

King James and The Doctor in “The Witchfinders”

KJKing James

What do you know of my mother?

You could have seen her before she died, but you didn't want to. Why?

KJKing James

She left me. When I was not even one year old. What kind of mother does that? Why would I wish to see her?

Nobody will ever know why she left you, James. But you can't go hurting people just because you're scared to face up to the darkness inside you. You have to be better than that.

KJKing James

Who are you? How do you know these things?

I know, because we're all the same. We want certainty. Security. To believe that people are evil or heroic. But that's not how people are. You want to know the secrets of existence? Start with the mysteries of the heart. I can show you everything if you stop being afraid of what you don't understand, if you trust me.
