So, Doctor, who is he?
Who are you?
You know who I am.
What is he to you, like a colleague, or..?
Old friend, is she?
Well, he used to be a friend of mine once.
A very good friend.
She's my friend, she's my oldest friend in the universe.
Well, you've got lots of friends, better ones!
What's so special about her?
She's different.
Different how?
I don't know.
As a novice, he was taken for initiation.
He stood in front of the Untempered Schism.
Staring at the raw power of time and space, just a child...
Some would be inspired, some would run away, and some would go mad.
You know, back in the day, I'd burn an entire city to the ground, just to see the pretty shapes the smoke made.
All this death, finally made you happy?
Ecstatic.
And has it calmed all the rage?
Would it stop then?
She was my first friend. Always so brilliant.
From the first day at the Academy.
Friendship older than your civilization, and infinitely more complex.
You're stellar. This is...this is magnificent.
She's the only person I've ever met who's even remotely like me.
You're a genius. Stone-cold brilliant, you are. I swear, you really are.
But you could be so much more. You could be beautiful
So, more than anything, you want her to be good?
Contact.
I'll be good. I promise. I-I'll turn. I'll turn good. Please.
Teach me. Teach me how to be...good.
I had a friend once. We ran together when I was little, and I thought we were the same.
When we grew up, we weren't.
And now, she's trying to tear the world apart, and I can't run fast enough to hold it together.
I wonder what I'd be, without you.
The Master was one of my oldest friends.
We went very different ways.
The prisoner will kneel.
Kneel.
Call me by my name.
Use my name.
Master.
Executioner.
He's not your friend, you keep trying to kill him.
He keeps trying to kill me.
You'll do nothing.
Go on then.
Or I'll put a bullet through both your hearts.
Go on then.
You can consider yourself lucky. Quite a few people were in favour of having you executed.
My dear Doctor, don't think I'm not grateful.
I've had a chance to think about things while I've been in here.
Have you now?
Say something nice.
I wish that something like this had happened a long time ago.
What have you got left anyway?
You win.
I win.
I have won, Doctor.
Look how low I have brought you.
We're the only two left, I have no one else.
I know.
You may have made me, but I have destroyed you.
Become death. Become me.
What would you die for?
Dying in your arms.
Get out of the way.
Since when do you care about the Doctor?
Since always.
She's alive.
Of course, she's not dead. She's a friend of mine.
I'm not here to kill him, I'm here to save him.
You wouldn't listen, because you know what I'm gonna say.
NO!
Is it hurting, Doctor?
NO!
I hope it's hurting, because it really hurt me.
We both saw her die on Earth, ages ago.
Goodbye, Doctor.
And obviously, you knew that wasn't real. Or worse, hoped it wasn't.
I sincerely hope we meet again very soon.
I forgive you.
Stand with me.
It's all I've ever wanted.
Me too.
It's time to stand with him.
It's where we've always been going, and it's happening now, today.
It's time to stand with the Doctor.
