Finally, Rassilon himself arrives with his personal guard; the Doctor only responds with a simple "Get off my planet". Rassilon does not take kindly to the Doctor's words, demanding he come with them. However, the Doctor still refuses to comply, forcing Rassilon to order his execution; he threatens them into complying by raising his Gauntlet. In the present, the Doctor explains this to Clara as Rassilon being a "gang boss" who hates him. Rassilon turns his back to the Doctor, hiring shots be fired. He turns back around, angered and surprised that they all missed; instead they missed the Doctor, learning a burned outline of him on the barn instead. Rassilon demands explanation from Gastron, who explains that in the Time War, the first thing that was noticed about the "Doctor of War" was that he was unarmed, and that "For many it was also the last." Gastron throws his weapon and joins the Doctor, explaining that he served at [[Skull Moon]] with him. The rest of the firing squad follow suit.

Raising his Gauntlet, Rassilon demands to know how many regenerations were [[The Time of the Doctor (TV story)|granted to the Doctor back on Trenzalore]]; though a Time Lord can be killed in the middle of regeneration, Rassilon seems [[sadistic]] enough to cause the Doctor pain for as long as possible, by making him go through all the bodies he has left. More ships from the Capital arrive, but to Rassilon's annoyance, they also side with the Doctor. Rassilon goes to to gloat about his exploits, but the General forces his hand down, telling him to get off Gallifrey. Everyone has sided with the Doctor now.

Later, a shuttle is seen leaving the top of the Capital. On a balcony, the General then explains to the Doctor that Gallifrey came back into the universe several billion years later, give or take a star system or two; thus anyone banished from the planet has little choice in where to go. The General asks if the new Lord President if he's gone too far, but the Doctor grimly warns that he's barely started; the High Council is next. No TARDIS is given to any of those sent away, as it would be too much of a temptation to use time travel to stop the Doctor from weeding out the corruption on Gallifrey.

The Doctor demands to know why he was imprisoned within his own confession dial; it's meant to purify a Time Lord's spirit so they can be uploaded into the Matrix without regrets, not to be used as a torture chamber. The General starts to explain, but is caught lying by the Doctor a few times; seeing he can't prevent him from knowing the whole truth, the General explains in detail. All Matrix predictions foresaw the birth of a hybrid from two warrior races that will stand in the ruins of Gallifrey as it breaks millions of hears to mend its own; the Doctor mockingly asks "what colour is is it?", pointing out "the problem with prophecies; they never tell you anything important." Ohila tells him he shouldn't be playing the part of the fool. The Doctor says he needs help; he turns down the General and Ohila, saying people with bad hats cramp his style. He needs to talk to an old friend...

However, the Doctor takes the General's gun, threatening "on pain of death, no-one take a Selfie". Clara is shocked by his actions, wondering what happened to him since she died. The Doctor asks for a human compatible neural block, before asking the General what regeneration he's on; confirming he's in his eleventh incarnation, the General is wished good luck and shot. The Doctor takes the device and drops the gun, running off with Clara. Clara is shocked by what the Doctor has done, but he explains death on Gallifrey is basically man flu. Gastron arrives in the extractor room, reporting the regeneration; he asks the General is he's okay, finding that he's regenerated into a female. The General is glad to be back to normal, explaining to Gastron that her last incarnation was her only male body; "dear god, how do you cope with all that ego?" The moment she starts wondering where the Doctor has gone, Ohila enters the room; she explains that the Doctor ran straight into the most dangerous place on Gallfirey.

The Doctor takes Clara to the [[Cloisters]], an area located below Gallifrey's capital; it is guarded by the [[Cloister Wraith|Wraith]]s, which only attack if they attempt to leave. Many enemies attempted to steal information from Gallifrey during the [[Cloister Wars]], and were imprisoned within the vines - Daleks, Cybermen and Weeping Angels are among these victims. There is a secret door they can use to escape, he used in during his childhood when he got lost; the wraiths use projections of enemies who attacked to attempt scaring them into retreating, to no avail. Clara asks what he's talking about, so the Doctor [[Intelligence quotient|dumb]]s it down to "the [[The Matrix|Time Lords have got a bit computer made of ghosts]], in a crypt, [[Cloister Wraith|guarded by more ghosts.]]" They find the secret hatch and begin working on getting it open. The Doctor begins telling her about the time he spent in the confession dial; they are observed  by the General and Ohila, who decide to go after them. Clara, meanwhile, is shocked to learn that the Doctor knew that the Time Lords were responsible for her death; he pretended to know about the Hybrid, so he could get back to Gallifrey and use their tech to resurrect her.

The General and Ohila arrive via lift, demanding that the Doctor come with them; Clara silences them as she tries to get the Doctor to tell her how long he was trapped in his confession dial, getting no result. Wondering how long the Doctor spent inside the confession dial, Clara turns to the two and demands to know how long. Thinking a moment, Ohila says close to 4.5 billion years; the General explains that the Doctor could have left any time he wanted, just needing to tell the Time Lords what he knew. Clara is shocked by this, realizing that she meant more to the Doctor than she thought possible; their friendship was something that he didn't want to lose.Turning to the Doctor, she tells him at "people like me and you, we should say things to one another" and proceeds to do so - words kept private from the audience and from the General and Ohila, to whom she refuses to divulge what she said.
