1. As you come into this
world, something else is also born.Copy !req
2. You begin your life,
and it begins a journey,Copy !req
3. towards you.Copy !req
4. It moves slowly,
but it never stops.Copy !req
5. Wherever you go,
whatever path you take,Copy !req
6. it will follow.Copy !req
7. Never faster, never slower.Copy !req
8. Always coming.Copy !req
9. You will run, it will walk.Copy !req
10. You will rest, it will not.Copy !req
11. One day, you will linger
in the same place too long.Copy !req
12. You will sit too still
or slip too deep.Copy !req
13. And when, too late,
you rise to go,Copy !req
14. you will notice a second
shadow next to yours.Copy !req
15. Your life will then be over.Copy !req
16. If you think
because she's dead I'm weak,Copy !req
17. then you understand very little.Copy !req
18. If you were any part of killing
her, and you're not afraid,Copy !req
19. then you understand
nothing at all.Copy !req
20. So for your own sake
understand this...Copy !req
21. I am the Doctor.Copy !req
22. I'm coming to find you,
and I will never, ever stop.Copy !req
23. Happy New Year 2016 - New Year, New Color ;-)Copy !req
24. The equipment in that room,Copy !req
25. it's consistent with an
augmented ultra-long range teleport.Copy !req
26. So I'm not more than a single
light year from where I was.Copy !req
27. And I'm in the same time zone.Copy !req
28. When the sun sets,Copy !req
29. I'll be able to establish an
exact position by the stars,Copy !req
30. then you'll have a choice.Copy !req
31. Come out, show yourself,Copy !req
32. or keep on hiding.Copy !req
33. Clara said I shouldn't
take revenge.Copy !req
34. You should know
I don't always listen.Copy !req
35. Oh, what's this?Copy !req
36. What, are you gardeners?
I hate gardening!Copy !req
37. What sort of a person has
a power-complex about flowers?Copy !req
38. It's dictatorship
for inadequates.Copy !req
39. Or to put it in another way,
it's dictatorship.Copy !req
40. Come on!
Chop, chop!Copy !req
41. The Doctor will see you now.
Show me what you've got!Copy !req
42. I just watched
my best friend die in agony,Copy !req
43. my day can't get any worse.Copy !req
44. Let's see what
we can do about yours.Copy !req
45. I know you.Copy !req
46. I've seen you before.Copy !req
47. I used to know a trick.Copy !req
48. Back when I was young
and telepathic.Copy !req
49. Clearly, you can't make
an actual psychic link with a doorCopy !req
50. for one very obvious reason.Copy !req
51. They're notoriously cross.Copy !req
52. I mean, imagine life as a door.Copy !req
53. People keep pushing past you,Copy !req
54. all of the knocking,
but it's never for you,Copy !req
55. and you get
locked up every night.Copy !req
56. So if you areCopy !req
57. just a little bit nice...Copy !req
58. See, Clara?Copy !req
59. I've still got it.Copy !req
60. Right.Copy !req
61. Uh...Copy !req
62. I can't actually
see a way out of this.Copy !req
63. Finally run out of corridor,
there's a life summed up.Copy !req
64. This isn't you.Copy !req
65. I'm scared.Copy !req
66. I just realised that
I'm actually scared of dying.Copy !req
67. Something I said?Copy !req
68. What did I say?Copy !req
69. Why did you stop?Copy !req
70. Old. Very old.
Possibly very, very old.Copy !req
71. When I was a very little boy
there was an old lady who died.Copy !req
72. They covered her in veils,
but it was a hot, sunny day,Copy !req
73. and the flies came. It gave me
nightmares for years.Copy !req
74. So who's been
stealing my nightmares?Copy !req
75. What am I here for?Copy !req
76. And you've known about me
for a very long time, right?Copy !req
77. So, what is it?Copy !req
78. Is it a trap?Copy !req
79. Is it a prison?Copy !req
80. No!Copy !req
81. Is it a torture chamber?Copy !req
82. Am I right?Copy !req
83. Somebody really
should know better.Copy !req
84. Anyone who can put
all of this together,Copy !req
85. and steal my bad dreams,Copy !req
86. they should know better.Copy !req
87. The secrets I have...Copy !req
88. No chance, not telling, not me!Copy !req
89. I told you I was scared of dying,Copy !req
90. and I wasn't lying either.Copy !req
91. Advantage, me.Copy !req
92. Because you won't
see this coming!Copy !req
93. Sorry I'm late.Copy !req
94. Jumped out of a window.Copy !req
95. Sudden death.Copy !req
96. Don't you want to know how I survived?Copy !req
97. Go on, ask me.Copy !req
98. No! Of course I had to jump!Copy !req
99. The first rule of being
interrogated isCopy !req
100. that you are the only
irreplaceable personCopy !req
101. in the torture chamber.Copy !req
102. The room is yours, so work it.Copy !req
103. If they're going to
threaten you with death,Copy !req
104. show them who's boss.
Die faster!Copy !req
105. And you've seen me do that
more often than most.Copy !req
106. Isn't that right, Clara?Copy !req
107. Rule one of dying, don't.Copy !req
108. Rule two, slow down.Copy !req
109. You've got the rest of your life.Copy !req
110. The faster you think,
the slower it will pass.Copy !req
111. Concentrate!Copy !req
112. Assume you're going to survive.Copy !req
113. Always assume that.Copy !req
114. Imagine you've already survived.Copy !req
115. There's a storeroom
in your mind.Copy !req
116. Lock the door and think.Copy !req
117. This is my storeroom.Copy !req
118. I always imagine
that I'm back in my Tardis.Copy !req
119. Showing off. Telling youCopy !req
120. how I escaped, making you laugh.Copy !req
121. That's what I'm doing right now.Copy !req
122. I am falling, Clara.Copy !req
123. I'm dying.Copy !req
124. And I'm going to explain
to you how I survived.Copy !req
125. Can't wait to hear what I say.Copy !req
126. I'm nothing without an audience.Copy !req
127. One hope, salt.Copy !req
128. I thought I smelt it earlier,
when I broke the window, I'm sure.Copy !req
129. Salty air. This castle
is standing in the sea!Copy !req
130. Diving into water
from a great heightCopy !req
131. is no guarantee of survival.Copy !req
132. I need to know exactly
how far I'm going to fall, and how fast.Copy !req
133. Why do you think I threw the stool?Copy !req
134. Fall time to impact.Copy !req
135. Seven seconds!Copy !req
136. Because you won't see this coming!Copy !req
137. The wind resistance of the stool,Copy !req
138. the atmospheric density,Copy !req
139. the strength of the local gravity.Copy !req
140. Am I spoiling the magic?Copy !req
141. I work with this stuff, you know.Copy !req
142. Should hit the water in about...Copy !req
143. 02 seconds.Copy !req
144. The chances of remaining
conscious are...Copy !req
145. Can't I just sleep?Copy !req
146. Do I have to know everything?Copy !req
147. Clara...Copy !req
148. I can't lose.Copy !req
149. It keeps coming, Clara!Copy !req
150. Wherever I go, it follows, why?
Why does it do that?Copy !req
151. Always the teacher.
What's the right question then?Copy !req
152. It's following me.Copy !req
153. Wherever I go, it's tracking me.Copy !req
154. Slowly though, scary lurching.Copy !req
155. Scary.Copy !req
156. These screens everywhere,Copy !req
157. it's showing me exactly
where it is all the time.Copy !req
158. How far it's got, how near.Copy !req
159. Because it's trying to scare me,Copy !req
160. putting its breath on my neck.Copy !req
161. That's the point.
That's what it's doing.Copy !req
162. This is theatre!Copy !req
163. It's all about fear.Copy !req
164. A working hypothesis.Copy !req
165. We're in a fully-automated
haunted house, a mechanical maze.Copy !req
166. It's a killer puzzle box
designed to scare me to death.Copy !req
167. And I'm trapped inside it.Copy !req
168. Must be Christmas.Copy !req
169. Another spade.Copy !req
170. Someone wants me to take it.Copy !req
171. What do you think, Clara?Copy !req
172. Someone trying to give me a hint?Copy !req
173. What would you do?Copy !req
174. Yes, yes, of course you would.Copy !req
175. Which, let's be honest,
is what killed you.Copy !req
176. So...Copy !req
177. Someone is trying to tell me that
there's something importantCopy !req
178. buried in this garden.Copy !req
179. That's almost the first thing
they tried to tell me.Copy !req
180. It could be a trick.Copy !req
181. It could be one of
my predecessors.Copy !req
182. Because I'm not
the first prisoner here, am I?Copy !req
183. All those skulls!Copy !req
184. Wonder where they all went wrong.Copy !req
185. A building this height,Copy !req
186. a creature that slow, so what?Copy !req
187. An hour.Copy !req
188. Fifty-seventh time, you lose.Copy !req
189. So...Copy !req
190. It can set traps.Copy !req
191. That's okay.Copy !req
192. I'm good at traps.Copy !req
193. So where're you off to?Copy !req
194. Only one way in and one way out.Copy !req
195. Well, seeing as you're going.Copy !req
196. No, no, that's not right.Copy !req
197. Well, that was another close one,Copy !req
198. or it would've beenCopy !req
199. once I've been
and gotten myself out of it.Copy !req
200. So how am I going to do that?Copy !req
201. Come on, teacher, ask me questions.Copy !req
202. I'm actually scared of dying.Copy !req
203. The truth, yes.Copy !req
204. But not any old truth, Clara.Copy !req
205. This whole place is
designed to terrify me.Copy !req
206. I'm being interrogated.Copy !req
207. It's not just truth it wants,
that's not enough,Copy !req
208. it's confession.Copy !req
209. I have to tell truths
I've never told before.Copy !req
210. That's the only thing
that stops it.Copy !req
211. You see the problem is,Copy !req
212. Clara...Copy !req
213. there are truths
that I can never tell.Copy !req
214. Not for anything.Copy !req
215. But I'm scared and I'm alone.Copy !req
216. Alone...Copy !req
217. And very, very scared.Copy !req
218. I confess.Copy !req
219. I didn't leave Gallifrey
because I was bored,Copy !req
220. that was a lie,
it's always been a lie!Copy !req
221. Not enough? You want more?Copy !req
222. I was scared.
I ran because I was scared.Copy !req
223. Is that what you want me to say?Copy !req
224. Is that true enough for you?Copy !req
225. It's funny.Copy !req
226. The day you lose someone
isn't the worst,Copy !req
227. at least you've got something to do.Copy !req
228. It's all the days they stay dead.Copy !req
229. Fifty-seven minutes.Copy !req
230. This is how
my world works, Clara.Copy !req
231. I tick off the seconds as they pass.Copy !req
232. My life is a countdown.Copy !req
233. If I draw the creature to
one extreme of the castle,Copy !req
234. and I run to the other extreme...Copy !req
235. I can earn myself
a maximum of 82 minutes.Copy !req
236. Eighty-two minutes to eat,
sleep and work.Copy !req
237. My work is finding Room 12.Copy !req
238. The castle wants me to.Copy !req
239. It's luring me.Copy !req
240. The numbering is a bit confused.Copy !req
241. As if the rooms
are all jumbled up.Copy !req
242. Maybe they move around.Copy !req
243. I saw the whole castle move...Copy !req
244. when I made the creature stop.Copy !req
245. Every room,
if I leave it long enough,Copy !req
246. reverts to its condition
at the moment I arrived.Copy !req
247. It tidies up after itself.Copy !req
248. Automated room service.Copy !req
249. I think this whole place
is inside a closed energy loop,Copy !req
250. constantly recycling.Copy !req
251. Or maybe I'm in hell.Copy !req
252. That's okay.
I'm not scared of hell.Copy !req
253. It's just heaven for bad people.Copy !req
254. But how long
will I have to be here?Copy !req
255. Forever.Copy !req
256. It's always coming.Copy !req
257. Always closer.Copy !req
258. The countdown never stops.Copy !req
259. But the countdown to what?Copy !req
260. There are two events in everybody's
life that nobody remembers.Copy !req
261. Two moments experienced
by every living thing.Copy !req
262. Yet, no one remembers
anything about themCopy !req
263. Nobody remembers being born
and nobody remembers dying.Copy !req
264. Is that why we always
stare into the eye sockets of a skull?Copy !req
265. Because we're asking,
"What was it like?Copy !req
266. "Does it hurt?Copy !req
267. "Are you still scared?"Copy !req
268. "Bird"?Copy !req
269. What's a bird got to do with it?Copy !req
270. Are there birds here?Copy !req
271. There's something
I'm missing, Clara,Copy !req
272. and I think it's something terrible.Copy !req
273. Hello?Copy !req
274. Hello? Is there someone there?
Hello!Copy !req
275. It's a trap, Clara.Copy !req
276. A lure and a trap.Copy !req
277. I'm following bread crumbs
laid out for me.Copy !req
278. This is somebody's game.Copy !req
279. And I can't stop playing it.Copy !req
280. A game everybody else has lost.Copy !req
281. I know how to move
that wall, Clara.Copy !req
282. So long as I don't
run out of confessions.Copy !req
283. What I really want to know is...Copy !req
284. Who's been playing
about with the stars?Copy !req
285. They're all in the wrong places.Copy !req
286. For this time zone, anyway.Copy !req
287. No! I didn't time travel to get here.Copy !req
288. I can feel time travel.Copy !req
289. If I didn't know better,Copy !req
290. I'd say I've travelled
7,000 years into the future.Copy !req
291. But I do know better.Copy !req
292. So who moved the stars?Copy !req
293. Behind me.Copy !req
294. Long before the Time War,Copy !req
295. the Time Lords knew
it was coming.Copy !req
296. Like a storm on the wind.Copy !req
297. There were many
prophecies and stories.Copy !req
298. Legends before the fact.Copy !req
299. One of them was about
a creature called the Hybrid.Copy !req
300. Half Dalek, half Time Lord.Copy !req
301. The ultimate warrior.Copy !req
302. But whose side will it be on?Copy !req
303. Would it bring peace
or destruction?Copy !req
304. Was it real or a fantasy?Copy !req
305. I confess,
I know the Hybrid is real.Copy !req
306. I know where it is and what it is.Copy !req
307. I confess I'm afraid.Copy !req
308. Of course!Copy !req
309. The last square on the board.Copy !req
310. What else would it be?Copy !req
311. The Tardis.Copy !req
312. One confession away.Copy !req
313. Spantium.Copy !req
314. Four-hundred times
harder than diamond.Copy !req
315. Twenty feet thick.Copy !req
316. The way out.Copy !req
317. Bird.Copy !req
318. That's when I remember!Copy !req
319. Always then! Always then!Copy !req
320. It was exactly there!Copy !req
321. I can't keep doing this, Clara.Copy !req
322. I can't!Copy !req
323. Why is it always me?Copy !req
324. Why is it never
anybody else's turn?Copy !req
325. Can't I just lose?Copy !req
326. Just this once!Copy !req
327. Easy. It would be easy.Copy !req
328. It will be so easy.Copy !req
329. Just tell them.Copy !req
330. Just tell, whoever wants to knowCopy !req
331. all about the Hybrid.Copy !req
332. I can't keep doing this!Copy !req
333. I can't!Copy !req
334. I can't always do this!Copy !req
335. It's not fair!Copy !req
336. Clara, it's just not fair!
Why can't I just lose?Copy !req
337. But I can remember, Clara.Copy !req
338. You don't understand.Copy !req
339. I can remember it all.Copy !req
340. Every time.Copy !req
341. And you'll still be gone.Copy !req
342. Whatever I do,Copy !req
343. you still won't be there.Copy !req
344. Doctor.Copy !req
345. You are not the only person
who ever lost someone.Copy !req
346. It's the story of everybody.Copy !req
347. Get over it. Beat it.Copy !req
348. Break free.Copy !req
349. Doctor, it's time.Copy !req
350. Get up, off your arse,Copy !req
351. and win.Copy !req
352. Hello, again.Copy !req
353. No more confessions. Sorry.Copy !req
354. But I will tell you the truth.Copy !req
355. Ouch!Copy !req
356. The Hybrid is a very dangerous secret.Copy !req
357. A very, very dangerous secret.Copy !req
358. And it needs to be kept locked!Copy !req
359. So I'm telling you nothing.Copy !req
360. Nothing at all.Copy !req
361. Instead, I'm gonna do
something far worse.Copy !req
362. I'm gonna get out of here.Copy !req
363. And find whoever put me here
in the first place.Copy !req
364. And whatever they're trying to do,Copy !req
365. I'm going to stop it, Clara!Copy !req
366. It might take a little while.Copy !req
367. Since you want me
to tell you a story.Copy !req
368. The Brothers Grimm,
lovely fellows.Copy !req
369. They're on my darts team.Copy !req
370. According to them,Copy !req
371. there's this emperor,Copy !req
372. and he asks the shepherd's boy...Copy !req
373. "How many seconds in eternity?"Copy !req
374. People always get it wrong
with Time Lords.Copy !req
375. We take forever to die.Copy !req
376. Even if we're too injured
to regenerate,Copy !req
377. every cell in our bodies
keeps trying.Copy !req
378. Dying properly can take days.Copy !req
379. It's why we like to die
among our own kind.Copy !req
380. They know not to bury us early.Copy !req
381. I think,Copy !req
382. in my current condition,Copy !req
383. it will take me aboutCopy !req
384. a day and a half to reach
the top of the tower.Copy !req
385. I think...Copy !req
386. If I'm lucky,Copy !req
387. I have a day and a half.Copy !req
388. I have to do this, Clara.Copy !req
389. It's the only way.Copy !req
390. I have to be strong.Copy !req
391. I should have known
from the very beginning.Copy !req
392. Of course.Copy !req
393. The portrait of you,Copy !req
394. the creature from
my own nightmares.Copy !req
395. This place,Copy !req
396. it's my own bespoke
torture chamber.Copy !req
397. Intended for me only.Copy !req
398. And all those skullsCopy !req
399. in the water,Copy !req
400. how could there be
other prisoners in my hell?Copy !req
401. The answer of course...Copy !req
402. Is there were never
any other prisoners.Copy !req
403. And the stars...Copy !req
404. They weren't in the wrong place.Copy !req
405. And I haven't time travelled.Copy !req
406. I've just been here.Copy !req
407. A very, very...Copy !req
408. long time.Copy !req
409. Every room resets.Copy !req
410. Remember I told you that?Copy !req
411. Every room reverts
to its original condition.Copy !req
412. Logically,Copy !req
413. the teleporter should do the same.Copy !req
414. Teleporter, fancy word.Copy !req
415. Just like 3D-printers, really.Copy !req
416. Except they break down
living matter and information,Copy !req
417. and transmit it.Copy !req
418. All you have to do is add energy.Copy !req
419. The room has reset,Copy !req
420. returned to its original
condition when I had arrived.Copy !req
421. That means...Copy !req
422. There's a copy of me
still in the hard drive.Copy !req
423. Me...Copy !req
424. exactly as I wasCopy !req
425. when I first got here
7,000 years ago.Copy !req
426. All I have to find
is some energy.Copy !req
427. And all you need for energyCopy !req
428. is something to burn.Copy !req
429. How long
can I keep doing this, Clara?Copy !req
430. Burning the old meCopy !req
431. to make a new one.Copy !req
432. If you think
because she's dead I'm weak,Copy !req
433. then you understand very little.Copy !req
434. If you were any part of killing herCopy !req
435. and you're not afraid,Copy !req
436. then you understand
nothing at all.Copy !req
437. And so for your own sake
understand this.Copy !req
438. I'm the Doctor.Copy !req
439. I'm coming to find you.Copy !req
440. And I will never ever stop.Copy !req
441. Because you won't see this coming.Copy !req
442. If I didn't know better,Copy !req
443. I'd say I travelled
7,000 years into the future.Copy !req
444. "How many secondsCopy !req
445. "in eternity?"Copy !req
446. If I didn't know better,Copy !req
447. I'd say I travelled
12,000 years into the future.Copy !req
448. "How many seconds
in eternity?"Copy !req
449. The shepherd's boy...Copy !req
450. Six hundred thousand years
into the future.Copy !req
451. "How many seconds
in eternity?"Copy !req
452. The shepherd's boy says...Copy !req
