A hand with a brush reaches out to paint a crow. AMY: Not like this. The DOCTOR turns to see two boys looking at the painting of Van Gogh's physician. DOCTOR: Look there, in the window of the church. Most people... BLACK: 1890. (give AMY and shove) We need to talk to Vincent Van Gogh. It is VINCENT VAN GOGH. DOCTOR: Until he paints that church. Listen to them. That. The creature appears in the mirror. Just months from now he'll...he'll take his own life. With a smile, he enters the church. She screams. To the DOCTOR and AMY, the easel is suspended but VINCENT can see where it penetrated the creature's chest. (leaves)
EXT. They then enter the Van Gogh exhibit. (goes back to the DOCTOR and AMY)
BLACK slowly walks away and quickly turns, wondering if the man he saw was truly Van Gogh. I still can't believe that one of the haystacks was in the museum. We have here the last work of Vincent Van Gogh, who committed suicide at only 37. DOCTOR: (walks to her) I wouldn't say that.

Summary: During a visit to the Musée d'Orsay in 2010, the Doctor finds a creature in the church window of Vincent van Gogh 's ( Tony Curran ) The Church at Auvers . He takes Amy back to 1890 to meet van Gogh, and to discover why the creature was in the painting. Welcoming them, van Gogh works with the Doctor to find a Krafyis: a lost, blind member of an alien species whom only van Gogh can see. Van Gogh kills the creature, although he empathises with its pain. Before they leave, the Doctor and Amy take van Gogh to the present (where he discovers that people will admire him). This gives Amy hope that he created more paintings and did not commit suicide. Devastated to learn that he still took his own life, she learns that one of his sunflower paintings was dedicated to her.
