They say what they know they have to do it.???
Please check whether or not the following sentence is possible in English grammar.
[1]They say what they know they have to do it.
Is it possible? If possible,
[2]They say what they know it
Is this also possible? I think this sentence is wrong. In this case, do we have to use "that", not "what",don't we?
Thank you for your answers in advance.

Due to the following sentence, I wanted to check it once again.
"Although the eighth-grader was eventually allowed to go to class again thanks to the intervention of local media and youth union,the incident serves as a warning for young "keyboard heroes" who say on the computer screen what they know they would be punished for their words in real life."
Can't I

No, not here. What = that which
To understand, try substituting something for what. [ Then, 'that' would fit. They say something that they know they.... ]

Perhaps I almost get it.
eg) Iphone 4S is the smart phone which I think is the best phone.-> this is not a good example to this issue,but....
(1)Iphone4S is the smart phone which I think
(2)Iphone4S is the smart phone which is the best phone.
The sentence above is made by combining (1)sentence and (2)sentence.
