The Doctor: I killed her. 

Van Statten: I'm sorry. 

The Doctor: I said I'd protect her. She was only here because of me, and you're sorry? I could've killed that Dalek in its cell. But you stopped me. 

Van Statten: It was the prize of my collection! 

The Warden: Your collection? But was it worth it? Worth all those men's deaths? Worth Rose? 

The Doctor: Let me tell you something, Van Statten. Mankind goes into space to explore. To be part of something greater. 

Van Statten: Exactly! I wanted to touch the stars! 

The Warden: You just want to drag the stars down and stick them underground underneath tons of sand and dirt. And label them. You're about as far from the stars as you can get. 

The Doctor's face, contorted with fury suddenly softens into a sad, grief-stricken expression, The Warden remains enraged. 

The Doctor: And you took her down with you. She was nineteen years old.

Rose has her eyes closed, ready for the Dalek to kill her. The Dalek approaches but does nothing. It just stares at her as Rose opens her eyes cautiously and looks round.

Rose: Go on then, kill me. Why are you doing this? 

Dalek: I am armed. I will kill. It is my purpose. 

Rose: They're all dead because of you! 

Dalek: They are dead because of us. 

Rose is shaken into a short silence. 

Rose: And now what? What're you waiting for? 

Dalek: I feel your fear. 

Rose: What do you expect?! 

Dalek: Daleks do not fear. Must not fear. 

It shoots its death ray wildly at the wall either side of Rose. 

Dalek: You gave me life. What else have you given me? I am contaminated! 

Adam steps out of the lift into Van Statten's office. The Doctor rounds on him. 

The Doctor: You were quick on your feet, leaving Rose behind.

Adam: I'm not the one who sealed the vault! 

The screen springs into life. It shows Rose standing by the Dalek's side. 

Dalek: Open the bulkhead or Rose Tyler dies. 

The Doctor takes a few steps towards the screen, an expression of joy and relief breaking out onto his face. 

The Doctor: You're alive! 

Rose: Can't get rid of me. 

The Warden: We thought you were dead. 

Dalek: Open the bulkhead! 

Rose: Don't do it! 

Dalek: What use are emotions if you will not save the woman you love? 

The Doctors is stunned. He turns to Van Statten, who is looking at him, shocked. He then turns to the Warden, expecting help.

The Warden: Told you you were infatuated

The Doctor: I killed her once... I can't do it again.

He hits the return key. The bulkhead opens and the Dalek and Rose slowly go through it.
