"Getting into scrapes." "Another thing he has is a passion for the works of Ludwig van Beethoven." "And one day he thinks, "What's the point of having a time machine" ""if you don't get to meet your heroes?"" "So, off he goes to 18th-century Germany." "But he can't find Beethoven anywhere." "No one's heard of him." "Not even his family have any idea who the time traveller is talking about." "Beethoven literally doesn't exist." "This didn't happen, by the way." "I've met Beethoven." "Nice chap." "Very intense." "Loved an arm wrestle." "No, this is called the Bootstrap Paradox." "Google it." "The time traveller panics." "He can't bear the thought of a world without the music of Beethoven." "Luckily, he brought all of his Beethoven sheet music for Ludwig to sign." "So he copies out all the concertos and the symphonies and he gets them published." "He becomes Beethoven." "And history continues with barely a feather ruffled." "(AMPLIFIER DISTORTION)" "My question is this." "Who put those notes and phrases together?" "Who really composed Beethoven'sFifth?"

(WRETCHES)" "Time travel does that sometimes." "I somehow doubt that Rose, or Martha or Amy lost their breakfast on the first trip." "You seem to know an awful lot about me." "I used to be military intelligence." "I was demoted for dangling a colleague out a window." "In anger?" "Is there another way to dangle someone out the window?" "What year are we in?" "1980." "(SCOFFS) So, pre-Harold Saxon, pre-the Minister of War, pre-the moon exploding, the big bat coming out..." "The Minister of War?" "Yeah?" "No, never mind." "I expect I'll find out soon enough." "Sorry about that." "The prawn sandwich might have been off." "Uh-huh." "Uh, don't worry." "Shall we go?" "Uh, just one sec." "I've just got something in my boot." "It's bigger on the inside, it's bigger on the inside, it's bigger on the inside!" "(LAUGHS) How can it be bigger on the inside, Bennett?" "(CLEARS THROAT)" "Okay, let's roll." "BENNETT:" "Why have we gone to Russia?" "DOCTOR:" "Uh, we haven't." "We're still in Scotland." "This is the town before it flooded." "The TARDIS has brought us to when the spaceship first touched down." "But here and now it's the height of the Cold War." "The military were being trained for offensives on Soviet soil." "Oh, is that the pilot?" "My God, look at the size of it." "DOCTOR:" "No, that's the body." "O'DONNELL:" "What do you mean, "the body"?" "This isn't just any spaceship." "It's a hearse." "The suspended animation chamber is still here, and the power cells for the engine." "And there are no markings on the wall." "Yet." "Greetings!" "It's him." "That's the ghost from the Drum." "(SNIFFING)" "Remarkable. (GASPS)" "And humans, too." "Albar Prentis, Funeral Director." "You're from Tivoli, aren't you?" "(PROUDLY) The most invaded planet in the galaxy." "Our capital city has a sign saying," ""If you occupied us, you'd be home by now."" "Yes, I've had dealings with your lot before, I can't say I'm a fan." "Oh, we do tend to antagonize." "(LAUGHS)" "DOCTOR:" "What are you doing here?" "Ah, yes." "Of course." "This is the Fisher King." "He and his armies invaded Tivoli and enslaved us for ten glorious years." "(DISGUSTED) Until we were liberated by the Arcateenians." "But, thank the gods, soon we'd irritated them so much, they enslaved us, too." "(LAUGHS)" "My first proper alien, and he's an idiot." "And now, in accordance with Arcateenian custom," "I've come to bury him on a barren, savage outpost." "You mean the town?" "He means the planet." "Although, at the risk of starting a bidding war, you could enslave me." "In the ship, I have directions to my planet and a selection of items that you can appraise me with." "Listen, we've come from the future, you're about to send some sort of a signal." "How do you do it?" "Is it a special pen?" "What are you talking about?" "The technology you use." "The thing that wrenches the soul out of the body and makes it repeat your coordinates for eternity." "Give it to me now, I'm going to take the batteries out." "We don't have anything like that. (LAUGHS)" "Even this belongs to the glorious Arcateenians." "So who sends the message?" "(SNIFFING)" "DOCTOR:" "Back to the TARDIS." "I need to talk to Clara." "You've been here before." "In situations like this before." "Yeah, not exactly like, but..." "Yeah, once or twice." "So you've had to deal with people who are scared." "What do you say to them?" "I'm asking what I should say to you." "That it will be all right." "That the Doctor will save us." "And when you say it, do you believe it?" "Yeah." "Yeah, I do." "And now?" "Cass thinks the Doctor's saying something different to the others." "He's saying, "Moran, Pritchard, apprentice..."" "No... "Prentis"?" ""..." "O'Donnell, Clara, Doctor, Bennett, Cass."" "It's just a list of all our names." "And when he finishes, he just goes back to the beginning again, over and over, that's it." "Who's Prentis?" "(MOBILE PHONE RINGS)" "It's the Doctor." "He's alive?" "For the moment." "CLARA:" "Doctor?" "Doctor, are you all right?" "Yeah,fine." "So listen, thespaceship,it 'sahearse." "Clara, what's wrong?" "Another ghost has appeared." "What?" "Who?" "Has someone died?" "Doctor, it's you." "Youokay?" "Yeah." "Well, currently." "What does it mean?" "ItmeansIdie ." "No, not necessarily, we can change the sequence of events, so..." "Thisisn't thepotentialfuture." "Thisisthefuturenow." "It's already happened." "The proof is right there in front of you." "I have to die." "No." "Youcanchangethings." "I can't." "Even the tiniest change, the ramifications could be catastrophic, could spread carnage and chaos across the universe, like ripples on a pond." "Oh, well, I've had a good innings."

"There are rules." "So break them." "And anyway, you owe me." "You've made yourself essential to me, you've given me something else to be." "And you can't do that and then die, it's not fair." "Clara..." "No, Doctor, I don't care about your rules or your bloody survivor's guilt, if you love me in any way, you'll come back." "Doctor, are you..." "I can't save Moran or Pritchard." "I know." "Like you said, if you can, if you can find out why this is happening, then maybe you could stop them killing anybody else." "Youcansaveus." "And you can stop it happening to you."

"Your coat is torn on the right shoulder." "I assume that I'm just saying the same thing as the others." "No, you're saying a list of names, our names mainly." "Moran, Pritchard, Prentis, O'Donnell, Clara, Doctor, Bennett, Cass." "Who's Prentis?" "DOCTOR:" "Mole-faced chap." "(WHOOSHING)" "(STATIC)" "What's the matter?" "Clara, what's happening?" "(INAUDIBLE)" "You've moved inside." "You're inside here now." "What am I doing?" "Uh... (INAUDIBLE)" "Nothing." "You're just standing there." "I'm not trying to kill you?"

"He's saying something different." "He's saying..." "What?" "What?" "What?" "He's saying, "The chamber will open tonight."" "Clara, now the ghosts are out, go to the Faraday cage." "Theywon'tbe able togetyouinthere." "Oh, there's a problem." "CLARA:" "Problem!" "What problem?" "Oh really, 'cause everything else is going so sweetly."

"Maybe the Doctor's right." "Maybe it's best if you stay here." "Never going to happen." "Seriously, have you two met me?" "Prentis." "Prentis!" "Guess that dead body wasn't so dead after all." "And now we've got the writing." "DOCTOR:" "The Fisher King did it himself." "The future is still coming." "He's taking the suspended-animation chamber to the judge." "(ROARING)" "What was that?"

"BENNETT:" "That list your ghost was saying, that's the order in which people are going to die." "Isn't it?" "I mean, I've only just figured that out, but you knew that all along." "Didn't you?" "Moran, Pritchard, Prentis, O'Donnell." "I thought, perhaps because her ghost wasn't there in the future, like Prentis' was..." "I thought maybe..." "Maybe it wouldn't happen." "Maybe she stood a chance." "Yeah, but you didn't try very hard to stop her, though, did you?" "It's almost like you wanted to test your theory." "So, who's next?" "Clara." "Yeah." "Except now you're gonna do something about it, aren't you?" "Yeah, 'cause it's getting closer to you." "You change history to save yourself, but not to save O'Donnell." "You wouldn't save her." "This isn't about saving me." "I'm a dead man walking." "I'm changing history to save Clara." "(GASPS)" "O'Donnell's dead." "Oh, no." "No, no, no." "Oh, now, don't you dare." "Don't you dare!"

"No, no, no, no." "What?" "We've moved half an hour backwards." "I'm locked in my own time stream." "The TARDIS won't let me leave." "Well, what do we do?" "Now we have to keep out of sight, until time catches up." "DOCTOR:" "Where's Bennett?" "We need to get going." "O'DONNELL:" "Probably still throwing up." "Prentis." "He's alive." "No, he's just not dead yet and we don't tell him." "But he's right there." "We can just..." "No." "However that sentence ends, no, we can't." "Save him and you want to save O'Donnell." "You can't cheat time." "I just tried." "You can't just go back and cut off tragedy at the root." "Because you find yourself talking to someone you just saw dead on a slab." "Because then you really do see ghosts." "We don't tell him." "Understand?" "Not a word." "We don't have that right." "PRENTIS:" "Albar Prentis, Funeral Director." "BENNETT:" "You're from Tivoli, aren't you?" "The most invaded planet in the galaxy." "PRENTIS:" "Our capital city has a sign saying," ""If you occupied us, you'd be home by now.""

"The Doc, the sword, the forsaken, the temple." "When we found out what the ghost was saying, we weren't surprised, because the words, they were already inside us." "But you..." "You were, weren't you?" "You didn't know what the words were going to be." "Uh, no, I didn't." "How did you know?" "Who was the one person who didn't see the writing in the space ship?" "Me." "Cass wouldn't let me go inside." "That's why the ghosts didn't hurt you when they had the chance, because the message isn't inside you." "Yes, I suppose that makes sense." "So you can get the phone back?" "What?" "She's saying I should go get the phone back." "No." "Listen." "Listen, I need..." "We..." "We need to be able to contact the Doctor and you are the only one who can do this." "Okay." "No." "She's right." "Neither of you can get it back." "What?" "What is it?" "What does she say?" "LUNN:" "It doesn't matter." "Please." "She said to ask you whether travelling with the Doctor changed you and why you always have to put other people's lives at risk." "He taught me to do what has to be done." "(STRUGGLING) We should get going." "I need more time." "It's too soon." "I haven't saved her yet." "Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock."

"(DOOR CLICKS SHUT)" "Now I'm ready." "I've come from the future." "(LOW GROWLING)" "I've see the chaos you caused, the bloodshed." "FISHER KING:" "Tell me what you have seen." "Ghosts." "Ghosts?"

"My people will come and you will do nothing to stop it," "Time Lord." "Hey!" "No, no, no, no!" "Cass, wait!" "What are you doing?" "Look..." "Lunn, he is going to be fine." "I promise." "We have to stay here." "I know that look." "I do that look." "Okay, fine." "But we stick together." "Time Lords, cowardly, vain curators, who suddenly remembered they had teeth, and became the most war-like race in the galaxy." "FISHER KING:" "But, you..." "You!" "You are curious." "You have seen the words, too, and can hear them tick inside you." "But you are still locked in your history, still slavishly protecting time." "Willing to die, rather than change a word of the future." "(WHISPERING) Lunn?" "Lunn?" "Lunn?" "Oh, Cass." "Cass?" "Cass?" "Ugh." "Idiot." "I'm an idiot." "(METAL SCRAPING)" "(SCRAPING CONTINUES)" "You will be a strong beacon." "How many ghosts can I make of you?" "You really have got a lot in common with the Tivolians." "You'd both do anything to survive." "DOCTOR:" "They'll surrender to anyone." "You will hijack other peoples' souls and turn them into electromagnetic projections." "That will to endure, that refusal to ever cease, it's extraordinary." "And it makes a fellow think, because you know what, if all I had to do to survive is tweak the future a bit, what's stopping me?" "Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, the ripple effect." "Maybe it will mean that the universe will be ruled by cats or something in the future." "But the way I see it, even a ghastly future is better than no future at all." "You robbed those people of their deaths." "Made them nothing more than a message in a bottle." "You violated something more important than time." "DOCTOR:" "You bent the rules of life and death." "So I'm putting things straight." "Here." "Now." "This is where your story ends." "(GROWLING)" "(WHIRRING)" "(METAL SCRAPING)" "(INAUDIBLE)" "(LOW VIBRATING)" "(CASS GASPS)" "Oh!" "There you are." "There is nothing you can do." "DOCTOR:" "I've already done it." "The words have gone." "I got rid of them." "DOCTOR:" "The future I saw, none of that will happen now."

"(ROARING)" "(DOOR SLAMMING)" "(ELECTRICITY PULSING)" "So what was it?" "Your ghost?" "A hologram, like the one we made of you, to lure the ghosts into the Faraday cage." "With a soupcon of artificial intelligence and a few pre-recorded phrases from there." "Eh!" "All beamed from the sonic glasses." "As soon as you brought me and the chamber on board it connected with the basis Wi-Fi." "Bob's your uncle for the Ghost Doctor." "CLARA:" "Why do they only come out at night?" "Because they're electromagnetic projections that were out of phase with a basis day-mode." "Right!" "That's it." "I've erased the memory of the writing." "Though, you might find you've lost a couple of other memories, too." "You know, like, people you went to school with, or previous addresses, or how to drink liquids." "Uh, that's you two done." "Where's Bennett?" "What will happen to them?" "Unit will cut out the Faraday cage with them inside and take it away." "Then the space hearse will be destroyed so the writing doesn't infect anyone else." "What do I do now?" "I don't understand." "I do." "You keep going." "You have to." "Take it from me, there is a whole world out there." "A galaxy." "A life." "What would O'Donnell have wanted?" "I need to erase that message from your mind, but it's fine." "I'll do it later." "Lunn, will you translate something to Cass for me?" "Of course." "Tell her that you're in love with her and that you always have been." "What?" "Tell her there's no point in wasting time, 'cause things happen and then it's too late." "Tell her I wish someone had given me that advice." "Oh, God, no." "I was just passing on what he said." "Please, don't..." "What will UNIT do with the ghosts?" "Drag the cage into space, away from the Earth's magnetic field." "With nothing to sustain them, the ghosts will eventually fade away." "Here's what I don't understand." "You did change the future." "You stopped the Fisher King from returning." "The Fisher King had been dead for 150 years before we even got here, but once I went back, I became part of events." "But here's the thing, the messages my ghost gave, they weren't for you." "They were for me." "That list." "Everyone after you was random, but you being the next name, that's what made me confront the Fisher King." "And saying the chamber will open?" "That was me telling me to get inside and when to set it for." "Smart." "(BOTH LAUGH)" "Except that's not why I said them." "CLARA:" "How do you mean?" "I programmed my ghost to say them because that's what my ghost had said." "And the only reason that I created my ghost hologram in the first place, was because I saw it here." "I was reverse engineering the narrative." "Okay." "That's still pretty smart." "You do not understand." "When did I first have those ideas, Clara?" "Well, it must have been..." "Wow!" "Exactly!"
