Acknowledging that he won't be able to remember the answer, the Tenth Doctor questions his successor as to "Where it is we're going that you don't wanna talk about." The Eleventh Doctor relents and reveals that they are destined to die on [[Trenzalore]], in battle, with millions of lives lost. The Tenth Doctor says that's not how it's supposed to be, but the Eleventh Doctor tells him it is determined now. Preparing to leave, the Tenth Doctor shakes his successor's hand and says that he's glad his future is in good hands. He kisses Clara's hand, and with a smile, starts to step into his TARDIS. Before he does, he expresses his desire to change their final destination of Trenzalore, saying: "I don't want to go." As the TARDIS dematerialises, the Eleventh Doctor smiles and remarks "he always says that". | Acknowledging that he won't be able to remember the answer, the Tenth Doctor questions his successor as to "Where it is we're going that you don't wanna talk about."

Clara asks the Doctor if he would like to sit and look at the painting for a little while. He smiles, asking how she knew. Clara kisses him on the cheek and tells him that she always knows — it's his sad old eyes.

He smiles, asking how she knew. Clara kisses him on the cheek and tells him that she always knows — it's his sad old eyes. As she steps into the TARDIS, she mentions that an old man, possibly [[The Curator|the Gallery's curator]], was looking for him. | ||
As the Doctor sits down and looks at the painting, he begins musing out loud that he would be a great curator. He says with a laugh that he could call himself "the Great Curator", [[retire]] and become the curator of this gallery. A deep and very familiar voice affirms that he really might. The astonished Doctor looks over to see a very familiar face standing next to him. [[Curator | As the Doctor sits down and looks at the painting, he begins musing out loud that he would be a great curator. He says with a laugh that he could call himself "the Great Curator", [[retire]] and become the curator of this gallery. A deep and very familiar voice affirms that he really might. The astonished Doctor looks over to see a very familiar face standing next to him. [[The Curator|An old man]], the curator of the Gallery, who greatly resembles the [[Fourth Doctor]]. The Doctor studies the old man in wonderment, astonished by the resemblance he has to the Doctor's fourth incarnation as he tells him that he never forgets a face, and the old man replies that he knows he doesn't and that he might find himself revisiting some of them in the future, "but just the old favourites, eh?"; the Doctor merely smiles and winks at the old man. The man then turns the Doctor's attention to the painting, explaining that he acquired it under "remarkable circumstances" and asks the Doctor what he makes of the title, a question that confuses the Doctor due to the painting having two different titles, "No More" and "Gallifrey Falls". However the man reveals to the Doctor that people always get that fact about the painting wrong: its two titles are actually just one: the true title of the painting is ''[[Gallifrey Falls No More]].'' The man then asks the Doctor what the title of the painting could possibly mean. | ||
The Doctor realises that he was successful, and Gallifrey was indeed saved. The mysterious man comments that he surely wouldn't know as he is merely a humble curator. The Doctor excitedly asks him if he knows where Gallifrey is, but he only cryptically reveals that it is simply "lost", and that the Doctor has a lot to do. The Doctor asks if that means that he is supposed to go looking for Gallifrey, but the Curator tells him that that decision is entirely up to him. He also muses that he and the Doctor might be the same man from different perspectives, sounding wistful about days having gone by, congratulating the Doctor on the new journey he is about to commence. As to whether or not he truly is an incarnation of the Doctor from the future, the Curator simply teases the thought, ''"Who knows, eh? Who... '[[nose]]'?"'', and with a tap of his nose, he turns and walks away. The Eleventh Doctor concludes that he has a mission, the mission of a lifetime: he must find Gallifrey and return it and all its people to the universe. | The Doctor realises that he was successful, and Gallifrey was indeed saved.
