Matildus tells the Doctor , Clara , Amy and Lynk , the story of Azrael : " He was the first Necrotist , a man who inspired a black stream of madness that flows through the universe to this day . A Necrotist is an artist who believes that murder is the only true form of creativity : that life must be stolen in order for art to blossom . Where a Necrotist walks , tragedy follows . Azrael was a genius who came from a world where death had been conquered , where immortality was fact . His brilliance turned his people ' s science against him . They perished in a flood of measureless agony . It was his first " statement " . Many more soon followed . Some said his face was so terrible that to merely look upon it would summon death . Others claimed it was so beautiful it would drive the beholder mad . Whatever the truth , Azrael chose to wear a mask carved from the skull of the last Magellan Emperor . His supposed masterpiece was the Wasting Wall , a structure built out of the bodies of an entire species - a monument to genocide . If it ever truly existed it has been lost to myth . But history records in harrowing detail a slaughter that spanned three centuries and countless worlds . Azrael lived and died ten thousand years ago . When he was finally captured , he stood calmly upon his execution block and spoke four words , " Death is my ally . " He was the Sculptor of Grief . The Poet of Corruption . The Architect of Despair . " After the story has been told , they hear a scream . Horatio and Amy set off in search of Albert . They find him , crystallised . He shatters in front of them . Clara and the Doctor follow . They then find the TARDIS . The Doctor is overjoyed . But then the door opens and Azrael steps out . He tells the Doctor that time belongs to him and that he should take solace in the fact that the universe is now his canvas before the TARDIS dematerialises . . . Part Three : The Mercy . The part opens with more information about the aliens and various lifeforms performing in the Carnival , including a girl wearing the cloak of her fore - mothers , a drummer who will be providing a beat for his son and daughter to dance along to and a girl who will be describing a sonnet in the night air , through the use of sigils . Meanwhile , the Doctor and Horatio Lynk are working on an Artron Energy Detector , to find the TARDIS , which has been stolen by Azrael , a Necrotist . Clara and Emily are flying overhead , providing a sensor sweep of Cornucopia for the Detector to scan . However , the Detector doesn ' t show up any traces of Energy , prompting the Doctor to destroy the machine in a fit of rage . He calms down though and admits he will need help to fight someone like Azrael . We cut to Cornucopia Trading Standards , where Ms Ghost alias Annabel Lake or Madame Strul , is receiving trading reports from a coworker , Derek . She walks into her office , where she finds the Doctor sitting in her chair . She immediately pulls a gun on him , questioning him as to why he is here . The Doctor admits he hasn ' t told anyone about Wonderland , but he ' s here because he knows he ' s been under surveillance by them and he needs their help finding his TARDIS and stopping Azrael . Ghost refuses to help , until Londi , the taxi driver from the Obsidian Mainframe and actually Danny Fisher , an agent of Wonderland , in disguise , chooses an inappropriate time to walk in . The Doctor recognises him and flies into a rage at him , describing in detail his deduction s of their plan to hack the Mainframe , the biggest market in the galaxy , for information on the bidders . Danny removes his disguise as does Annabel and the Doctor finally convinces her to help by telling her she owes him . Meanwhile , in the centre of Cornucopia , Clara and Amy are joined by a guy named Vansa , who has the same triangular tattoo symbol that Keli had , on his hand . He tells them he is here to meet someone very special , who is here in Cornucopia and decides to bring them along . At Wonderland HQ in Cornucopia , the Doctor is ushered in by Danny and Annabel , masked , to be greeted by Patrick Lake , who decides to help the Doctor find Azrael . Annabel uses the Doctor ' s screwdriver that she took in Prague when she first met him . They look through all the bids on the TARDIS and the Doctor quickly discovers Azrael ' s winning bid came from the Halion Nebula , " sixty billion miles of space dust . . . and one Azrael . " Patrick is able to open a portal to the Nebula and the Doctor yells " Geronimo ! " as he , Danny and Annabel run through the portal , with Patrick muttering that they ' ll be back . At a warehouse in Cornucopia , Clara and Amy discover hundreds of aliens have gathered there and they all have one thing in common . They are fans of Azrael who have come together to die and become part of a masterpiece . The usher releases the Mercy from a box . The Mercy turns out to be a wave of red energy that incinerates all the aliens . Clara and Amy run for the door . Clara makes it to the other side , but Amy is trapped . She leans against the door and comforts Clara , before the incinerating red beam engulfs her , killing her . Clara cries and sinks down against the door , sobbing . Part Four : The Wasting Wall . As the Lifesong Carnival begins , the Doctor , Annabel and Danny emerge from the portal to a dusty white landscape . The Doctor identifies their location as one of the universe ' s darkest myths : The Wasting Wall . It was built when Azrael came upon a world of peaceful giants and murdered them , fusing their bodies into one giant structure . Annabel picks up tech signals , and the three start to search for Azrael . At the warehouse , Amy has in fact survived , to Clara ' s relief . She looks at Azrael ' s victims , and comments on how happy they were . They have been turned into statues that seem to be made of blood . The Doctor and company find a scientist at work . The Doctor talks to him and discovers that he had been operating the Mercy for Azrael . Annabel threatens him , but he refuses to divulge his master ' s location . He instead kills himself in order to become a part of the Wasting Wall . Annabel tries to use the technology to track the data feed back to Azrael , but the Doctor realises that it has been booby trapped . He grabs her and tries to run , but they are both sent flying when it explodes . Horatio scans the corpses , and explains to Clara and Amy that the Mercy is a bio - reactive liquid that consumes genetic material and converts it into homogeneous plasma , resulting in the blood statues . However , he is unable to answer why it didn ' t kill Amy . Annabel wakes the Doctor up and informs him that Danny is probably buried in the debris . She shows him the TARDIS , coated in the Mercy and primed for takeoff . Azrael appears behind them and is instantly attacked by Annabel , but he destroys her sun before she can hit him . The Doctor tries to talk him out of killing her , and they are both restrained by him . He uses his psychic wand to destroy both of their sonic screwdrivers , then removes his mask , revealing his true identity to be Danny Fisher . He prepares to activate the Mercy . Part Five : Our Last Goodbye . Danny explains his motives to the Doctor and Annabel : As a boy , he was attacked by a monster . Despite the monster begging for help , he killed it with a spade and felt that he had found his purpose . He eventually joined UNIT and was present at the Sontaran assault at the ATMOS factory , having the highest kill - count . He was then head - hunted by MI6 , and Patrick Lake and Hugo Wilding recruited him to Wonderland . He spent months in the Obsidian Mainframe , where he found out about Azrael and stole his mask during an auction . Azrael had poured his memories and skills into the mask , and when Danny put it on he gained access to them . Now , Danny plans to use the Mercy - coated TARDIS to destroy all alien life on Cornucopia . He taunts the Doctor and tries to keep Annabel on his side by saying that Patrick will be fine as the Mercy has been programmed to spare anyone with human DNA . Annabel eventually agrees , and snaps at the Doctor that she lost her mother because he failed , and that if she went along with Danny ' s plan she would save many more mothers . However , at the first opportunity she attacks Danny and frees the Doctor , telling him to stop the TARDIS . Danny fights back and overpowers her , but she kills him with the psychic wand . The TARDIS then takes off with the Doctor in tow . Although the Mercy is causing him great pain , he tries to convince his ship not to go along with Danny and to save Cornucopia . As it appears over the city , the Doctor falls and is caught by Horatio , Clara and Amy . The TARDIS destroys the Mercy , and the Doctor comments that they " talked it over " . Later , the Doctor and Annabel watch the Lifesong Carnival from above the city . Annabel assures the Doctor that she doesn ' t really blame him for her mother ' s death , and that she knows he did his best for her . She tells him that she plans to stay on Cornucopia and keep watch for the monsters , but she ' ll be looking a lot more carefully now . The Doctor wishes her luck and gives her a spare sonic screwdriver to replace the one that was destroyed by Danny . The Doctor then rejoins Clara , Horatio and Amy . He gives Horatio a " debit card " so that he can help the hospital get all the medicine it needs . The four then take to the streets and celebrate the carnival with the people of Cornucopia .
