"Normalise," Bonnie says, her soldiers turn into Zygons, she finds the room with a long table and the red Osgood box on the end of it "well, Clara, I think you're reaching the end of your..." She steps into the room and sees something that shuts her up. Then her phone rings.

"The Doctor is here," Kate says.

"Don't kill them. We need him alive,"

"What for?"

"Because I just found out why it's called an Osgood box" a blue box is at the other end of the table "there's two of them,"

"Two Osgoods, two Osgood boxes. Operation Double. What did you expect?" The Doctor asks.

"What's in them, Doctor? Tell me. Now!" Bonnie shouts.

"One box normalises all the Zygons,"

"And the other?"

"Destroys them,"

"Which is which?"

"Ah, that would be telling," he says, Bonnie walks out of the Archive and nods to the Zygon guards, who pull the top of Clara's pod. Clara stands, her hair frazzled. Bonnie walks back into the Archive and puts her phone on the table as she's escorted in.

"Which box normalises the Zygons. Tell me, or she dies,"

"No. This is war. You pull the trigger, you pay the price,"

"Kill her," the Zygon puts its hands to Clara's head.

"The blue one! The blue one! The blue one normalises all your people," the Doctor says, Bonnie reaches out for the blue box but doesn't touch it.

"Are you lying? Are you lying to me, Doctor?"

"No, I'm not. And when you open up the box, you'll see I'm not lying" Bonnie huts the top of the box. The lid opens to reveal a nicely carved Gallifreyan design with two red buttons, one labelled Truth, the other Consequences.

"Doctor?" Bonnie opens the red box to find out it also has the same "Doctor!"

"Yeah, I know,"

"Bring them to me!" She shouts.

In the tunnel the Zygons advance on the Doctor, {Y/n} and Osgood. Kate shoots them in the back of their heads.

"Sorry, Doctor. Self-defence," Kate says noticing the Doctors look.

"You're you,"

"I'm me,"

"How did you survive?"

"Five rounds rapid. I'm sorry. I know you don't approve," she says.

"Why does peacekeeping always involve killing?" He asks, Kate drops the Zygon communicator and grinds it under her foot "is this the lot?"

"No, there are plenty more of them. They were the nearest. You are you?" Kate asks, looking at Osgood.

"I'm me,"

"But human or Zygon,"

"Me,"

"What are we dealing with?"

"Twenty million Zygons about to be unmasked. You don't know whether they are human or not. And you can't fight them, not with soldiers," the Doctor says.

"Which leads me to a very big question,"

"Oh, I was really hoping that it wouldn't," he mutters.

"The Zee-67, Sullivan's gas, the gas that kills the Zygons. You took it,"
