THE DOCTOR:

Stop. Please. Stop!

CUT TO:

59

INT. DALEK CITY. HOSPITAL CORRIDOR - DAY 59

MISSY racing along

-past a DALEK, which is whirling on the spot, clearly in the

grip of regeneration energy.

She shoves past, gets to the door of the Sick Room.

Inside, we hear THE DOCTOR's screams!!

Next to the door, propped up

-the DALEK gun-arm we saw THE DOCTOR using earlier. She

snatches it up, starts to fire at the door CUT

TO:

60

INT. SICK ROOM - DAY 60

THE DOCTOR, gripped by the cables, screaming

-and blam! Blam! Blam!

MISSY, in the doorway, blasting at the cables, they flame and

fall.

One of the snakes - the one with Colony Sarff’s mouth -

thrashes. The mouth is screaming.

THE DOCTOR, now dropping to the floor.

On MISSY, turning to look at ... DAVROS.

DAVROS revolves to look at her.

At last - THE DOCTOR's greatest foes, face to face!

DAVROS:

It is too late. The work is done.

But she is already turning to tend to THE DOCTOR

CUT TO:

61

INT. DALEK CITY. DALEK CONTROL / INT. DALEK CITY. VARIOUS 61

LOCATIONS / INT. CLARA DALEK - DAY

Silence. Dormant DALEKS, their eyestalks drooping, their

lights extinguished.

Then - quietly at first, growing stronger - the DALEK

heartbeat starts up.

Iris-lights now flickering, eyestalks raising.

Finally, the SUPREME DALEK speaks.

SUPREME DALEK:

We are renewed. We are more

powerful. The experiment has

succeeded. All praise Davros.

The DALEKS now take up the cry.

DALEKS:

All praise Davros! All praise

Davros!

Now cutting round the city. DALEKS every where, chanting the

same.

DALEKS (cont’d)

All praise Davros! All praise

Davros!

Now on the one DALEK not joining in, as it glides along a

corridor - the CLARA/DALEK.

Inside the DALEK: CLARA's sweating face. What the hell does

she do now??

DALEKS (cont’d)

All praise Davros! All praise

Davros!

CUT TO:

62

INT. SICK ROOM - DAY 62

We can still hear the distant cries of the DALEKS.

On THE DOCTOR's face - stirring, muttering. MISSY helping him

up.

MISSY:

Well, dear, you’ve saved Davros’s

life, lost a fight with a snake,

and accidentally made the Daleks

more powerful than ever. Morning!

THE DOCTOR, staring at MISSY now.

THE DOCTOR:

Where’s Clara?

MISSY:

Hello to you, too.

THE DOCTOR:

You’re alive, so she is too - where

is she??

MISSY:

I’m fine, since you ask.

DAVROS:

You are not fine.

MISSY and THE DOCTOR turn to DAVROS.

DAVROS (cont’d)

Thanks to you, Doctor, my creations

will grow to yet greater supremacy,

and my own life is prolonged. This

is the final defeat of the Time

Lords. Have you nothing to say,

Doctor??

THE DOCTOR has to got to his feet. But strangely, he is

utterly composed. He looks at DAVROS. Cool, utterly calm.

Flicking dust off his clothing. And he just says:

THE DOCTOR:

Three.

DAVROS:

Are you listening to me? Do you

understand what has happened? Hear

my children sing.

Distantly -all praise DAVROS!

THE DOCTOR:

Two!

He picks his sunglasses off the floor, polishes them on his

sleeve, pops them in his top pocket.

MISSY:

(Eyes on the Doctor)

Oh! I know that face!

DAVROS:

All praise Davros! All praise

Davros! Creator, and saviour, of

the Daleks.

THE DOCTOR has picked up his confession dial, pocketed it.

THE DOCTOR:

One!

Right on cue, the whole room shakes. A huge violent impact.

DAVROS:

What is that?

Again! Again??

DAVROS (cont’d)

What is happening?

CUT TO:

63 INT. DALEK CITY. DALEK CONTROL - DAY 63

The whole room shaking, too - DALEKS sliding about

everywhere.

SUPREME DALEK:

We are under attack. Explain!

Explain!!

CUT TO:

64 INT. SICK ROOM - DAY 64

THE DOCTOR, DAVROS, MISSY.

THE DOCTOR:

I knew exactly what you were doing,

and I let you do it. You

transmitted regeneration energy

into every Dalek on this planet.

Every single one.

DAVROS:

What ... have you done?

THE DOCTOR:

One word. No, actually, two. Two

words. First word

(Points at Davros)

Moron. Second word ...

65 INT. DALEK CITY. DALEK CONTROL - DAY 65

The DALEKS still panicking, shrieking as the room rocks and

rumbles The

floor, cracking, bulging!

CUT TO:

66 INT. SICK ROOM - DAY 66

Pushing in on THE DOCTOR for the hero moment.

THE DOCTOR:

Sewers.

DAVROS:

No! No!! This cannot be correct!!

How can this be??

THE DOCTOR:

Generations of Daleks, all just

woke up, very cross. And they’re

coming up the pipe! Or to put it

another way - bye!

And he turns on his heel and walks out.

DAVROS:

Help me! Doctor, you must help me!!

MISSY:

Hey! Davros!

DAVROS turns to look at MISSY

MISSY (cont’d)

Good to meet you at last.

-and she pokes him in his single eye, and strides out.

CUT TO:

67 INT. DALEK CITY. HOSPITAL CORRIDOR - DAY 67

THE DOCTOR, racing along. Another eruption, he’s flung

against the wall.

He looks up

-through a ventilation grille on the wall, gloopy dark

liquid is trickling down.

68 INT. DALEK CITY. DALEK CONTROL - DAY 68

The floor is cracked. A few DALEKs are entangled in a

seaweedy mass ...

Close on one, as the black liquid spews from it.

DALEK:

My vision is impaired. I cannot

see. My vision is impaired. I

cannot see.

CUT TO:

69 INT. CAVES. TUNNELS - DAY 69

The tunnels as before - but the seaweedy mass is alive,

swarming. The elevator doors are engulfed.

CUT TO:

70 INT. DALEK CITY. HOSPITAL CORRIDOR / INT. CLARA DALEK - DAY 70

THE DOCTOR pulls himself to his feet, about to run for it DALEK

Doctor!

He looks.

A DALEK is approaching down the corridor.

THE DOCTOR straightens up, facing it.

A silence.

THE DOCTOR:

This city is about to be sucked

into the ground. Your own sewer is

about to consume you. There’s no

way you can win now, nothing you

can do. So just tell me - where is

Clara Oswald?

DALEK:

I am a Dalek.

THE DOCTOR:

I know you’re a Dalek, where’s

Clara?

DALEK:

I am a Dalek.

THE DOCTOR:

Yes, you’re a Dalek. Where is Clara

Oswald??
