The Enkidu Principle : Jesus and Judas

The Last Temptation of Christ - 

Jesus and Judas

Rabbi, can I talk to you? 

I'm not like these other men. 

I mean, they're good enough, they're good men. 

But they're weak. 

One's worse than the other. 

Where'd you find them? Look at me. 

If I love somebody, I would die for them. 

If I hate somebody, I'd kill them. 

I could even kill somebody I loved if they did the wrong thing. 

Did you hear me? 

Do you understand what I said? 

Yes, I understand. 

The other day you said, if a man hit you, you'd turn the other cheek. 

I didn't like that. 

Only an angel could do that, or a dog. 

I'm sorry but I'm neither. 

I'm a Free Man. 

I don't turn my cheek to anyone. 

We both want the same thing. 

We do?

Do you want freedom for Israel?

No. I want freedom for the soul. No. That's what I can't accept. That's not the same thing! First you free the body, then the spirit! The Romans come first. You don't build a house from the roof down but from the foundation up. - The foundation is the soul. - The foundation is the body. That's where you must begin. If you don't change the spirit first, change what's inside... ...then you'll only replace the Romans with someone else, and nothing changes. Even if you're victorious, you'll still be filled with the poison. You've got to break the chain of evil. How do you change then? With love. - Who's there? - It's me, Andrew. Is everything... It's all right. Go back to sleep. Judas and I are talking. There's an example. You know, the Zealots ordered me to kill you. Why did you change your mind? I decided to wait. For what? I thought maybe you were the One. To unite us. I didn't want to destroy that. How do we know? How could I be the Messiah? When those people were torturing Magdalene, I wanted to kill them. And then I opened my mouth... ...and out comes the word "love." Why? I don't understand. I can't look to the others for answers, all they do is follow you. We'll go to Judea and see John the Baptist. Every day he tells hundreds of people the Messiah is coming. He'll know. He'll know. I'm afraid. Stay with me. 

ASHILDR: 

It makes perfect sense, and you know it. Am I right? Is it true?
DOCTOR: Does it matter?
ASHILDR: No. Because I have a better theory.
DOCTOR: Really?
ASHILDR: What if the Hybrid wasn't one person, but two?
DOCTOR: Two?
ASHILDR: A dangerous combination of a passionate and powerful Time Lord and a young woman so very similar to him.

[Tardis]

ASHILDR [on scanner]: Companions who are willing to push each other to extremes.
DOCTOR [on scanner]: She's my friend. She's just my friend.
ASHILDR [on scanner]: How did you meet her?
CLARA: Missy!

[Cloisters]

DOCTOR: Missy.
ASHILDR: Missy. The Master. The lover of chaos, who wants you to love it, too. She's quite the matchmaker.
DOCTOR: Clara's my friend.
ASHILDR: I know. And you're willing to risk all of Time and Space because you miss her. One wonders what the pair of you will get up to next.
DOCTOR: Nothing. Nothing at all. I know I went too far. I get it. That's why I'm doing what I'm doing.
ASHILDR: And what would that be?
DOCTOR: I'm taking her back to Earth. Somewhere safe, somewhere out of the way. I'm going to wipe her memory of every last detail of me.

[Tardis]

DOCTOR [OC]: It'll be like our friendship never happened.
ASHILDR [OC]: That may not be what she wants.
DOCTOR [OC]: 'I've done it before. Usually, I do it telepathically, but this time, I've got something better.
(Clara picks up the neural block.)

[Cloisters]

DOCTOR: It's quite painless.
ASHILDR: Will you tell her what you're going to do?
DOCTOR: Of course.
ASHILDR: When?
DOCTOR: Now.

[Tardis]

(Clara activates the glasses again.)
CLARA: Screen off.
(Ashildr gestures you first to the Doctor, and they both go inside.)
DOCTOR: You okay?
CLARA: Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Just, you know, my pulse.
DOCTOR: Yeah, we'll fix that somehow. I promise. You remember Ashildr, of course.
CLARA: Yeah, sure.
DOCTOR: I thought you'd be more surprised to see her.
CLARA: I was watching. On the monitor.
(She picks up the glasses and moves away from the console. The Doctor picks up the neural block.)
CLARA: No. Doctor, whatever you're about to do, don't do it.
DOCTOR: It won't hurt, it'll be nothing. You'll just pass out for a moment.
CLARA: And then?
DOCTOR: When you wake, you'll be fine.
CLARA: But
DOCTOR: Clara, just listen to me.
CLARA: Just say it. Say it. Come on. Tell me.
DOCTOR: When you wake up, you will have forgotten me. You'll have forgotten we ever even met.
CLARA: And why would I want that?
DOCTOR: Because it's the only way. That stuff in your head, the image of me, they could use it to find you.
(Clara holds out the sunglasses.)
CLARA: I, er I used these.
DOCTOR: On what?
CLARA: That.
DOCTOR: 

What did you do? 

CLARA:

 What do you think? Ashildr's right, you see? We're too alike.
 

DOCTOR: 

Tell me what you did.

CLARA: 

What else? What else do you think I did? I reversed the polarity. Push that button, Doctor, it will go off in your own face.
DOCTOR: You were trying to trick me?
CLARA: What were you doing to me?
DOCTOR: I'm trying to keep you safe.
CLARA: Why? Nobody's ever safe. I've never asked you for that, ever. These have been the best years of my life, and they are mine. Tomorrow is promised to no one, Doctor, but I insist upon my past. I am entitled to that. It's mine.
DOCTOR: Oh, Clara Oswald. What am I doing? You're right. You're always, always right.
CLARA: So what happens now? Hey? Me and you, what do we do now?
DOCTOR: I'm not sure you managed to reverse the polarity. I'm not even sure that you can. It'll do something to one of us. Better than flipping a coin.
CLARA: Doctor?
DOCTOR: You and me together. Look how far I went, for fear of losing you. This has to stop. One of us has to go.
(Clara gives him back his sunglasses, which he puts in his inside pocket.)
CLARA: You really don't know which?
DOCTOR: Let's find out. Let's do it like we've done everything else. Together.
