The Twelfth Doctor and Clara Oswald were tasked by a mysterious Architect to rob the Bank of Karabraxos – the largest bank in the universe. They are joined by two others: Psi, a hacker with an augmented brain, and Saibra, a mutant shapeshifter. The group break into the bank using fake DNA and disguises. Their mission takes them to unlocking the bank vault, which helps them find a gene suppressant for Saibra and a memory chip for Psi. The mission was to find the female mate of the Teller, a creature that detects a person’s guilt and is used to guard the Bank.
