Not in The Name of the Doctor

Trenzalore

With everyone restored except the Great Intelligence and Clara, the Doctor says he's going to enter his time stream, risking its collapse to get her back. Vastra remarks that the process killed Simeon, but is answered with the fact that Clara has one advantage over the Great Intelligence: she has the Doctor. The Doctor then steps into his own time stream. Clara opens her eyes and flames are reflected in them. She is falling downwards.

Clara: (v.o.) I don't know where I am. I don't know where I'm going, or where I've been. I was the born to save the Doctor, but the Doctor is safe now. I'm the Impossible Girl and my story is done.

Clara falls on the mist-shrouded ground. She sits up quickly and looks around in the dim light.

Clara: Doctor?

There is a loud thudding.

Clara: DOCTOR!

The thudding continues. Clara curls up, lowering her head to the ground.

Clara: (sobs) Please! Please, I don't know where I am.

The Doctor: (v.o.) Clara.

Clara stops sobbing and lifts her head.

The Doctor: (v.o.) You can hear me, I know you can.

Clara: I can't see you.

The Doctor: (v.o.) I'm everywhere. You're inside my time stream. Everything around you is me.

The 1st Doctor walks past her and she watches him go.

Clara: I can see you.

The 6th Doctor walks by in the opposite direction. Clara stands. Then the 5th Doctor and 9th Doctor run past.

Clara: All your different faces, they're here.

The 4th Doctor runs past.

The Doctor: (v.o.) Those are my ghosts. My past. Every good day, every bad day.

There is a loud cry of anguish followed by a thunderclap. Clara falls to the ground.

Clara: What's wrong, what's happening?

The Doctor: (v.o.) I'm inside my own time stream, it's collapsing in on itself.

Clara: Well, get out, then!

The Doctor: (v.o.) Not until I've got you.

Clara: I don't even know who I am.

The Doctor: (v.o.) You're my Impossible Girl. I'm sending you something - not from my past, from yours. Look up. Look. (a leaf falls from the sky) This is you, Clara. Everything you were or will be. Take it. (Clara takes leaf) You blew into the world on this leaf. Hold tight. It will take you home.

Clara staggers along the path.

The Doctor: Clara! Clara! Come on!

Clara turns around and sees the Doctor standing there, encouraging her to walk towards him.

The Doctor: Come on, to me, now. You can do it, I know you can.

Clara: How?

The Doctor: Because it's impossible. And you're my Impossible Girl.

Clara walks towards him slowly.

The Doctor: How many times have you saved me, Clara? Just this once, just for the hell of it, let me save you! You have to trust me, Clara, I'm real. Just one more step.

Clara reaches him and wraps her arms around his neck. He grips her tightly.

The Doctor: Clara. My Clara. (kisses her head)

Over Clara's shoulder, the Doctor sees a still figure, his back to them. The Doctor slowly releases Clara and she turns around.

Clara: Who's that?

The Doctor: Never mind, let's go back.

Clara: But who is he?

The Doctor: He's me. There's only me here, that's the point. Now let's get back.

Clara: But I never saw that one. I saw all of you. 11 faces, all of them you. You're the 11th Doctor.

The Doctor: I said he was me. I never said he was the Doctor.

Clara: I don't understand.

The Doctor: Look, my name, my real name - that is not the point. The name I chose is the Doctor. The name you choose, it's like a promise you make. (looks to figure) He's the one who broke the promise.

Clara faints and falls against the Doctor.

The Doctor: Clara? Clara! Clara! (picks up Clara) He is my secret.

Man: (older voice) What I did, I did without choice.

The Doctor: I know.

Man: In the name of peace and sanity.

The Doctor: But not in the name of the Doctor.

As the Doctor carries Clara away, the man turns around, showing his elderly face as an on-screen caption reveals his identity to be "the Doctor"
