exterminations.

DAVROS (cont’d)

See them plead for my forgiveness -

but my conscience cannot allow it.

Exterminate! Exterminate!!

-and the Dalek gun is pressed against the back of his neck.

He stiffens.

DAVROS (cont’d)

... Doctor?

THE DOCTOR, now moving round, keeping the gun trained on him.

DAVROS looks at the gun, withering.

DAVROS (cont’d)

Ancient. Inoperable.

THE DOCTOR twiddles briefly with a couple of settings, bangs

it against DAVROS's chair. A building whine of energy. It is

switching on.

THE DOCTOR:

Genius.

DAVROS:

You would threaten a dying man?

Have I not suffered enough?

THE DOCTOR clicks something on the exterminator gun.

THE DOCTOR:

Get out.

DAVROS:

I cannot leave this chamber. It

sustains me.

THE DOCTOR:

Get out.

Over this the sound of a terrible, blaring alarm

CUT TO:

23 INT. DALEK CITY. DALEK CONTROL - DAY 23

DALEKS gliding about their appointed tasks. The SUPREME DALEK

presiding

-as one DALEK spins from its work station.

DALEK 1

Alert! Alert! The infirmary is

breached.

SUPREME DALEK:

Protect Davros. Davros must be

assisted.

The DALEK is looking at a schematic of the infirmary on its

screen. A glowing dot is moving out of the sick room.

DALEK 1

Davros is leaving the infirmary.

SUPREME DALEK:

Davros must remain. Davros cannot

leave.

Now DAVROS's voice echoing round the room.

DAVROS:

(V.O.)

My children! Help me!

SUPREME DALEK:

You must return to the infirmary.

Now on various smaller screens we can see the familiar

silhouette of DAVROS making his way through the shadows of

the infirmary.

DAVROS:

(V.O.)

The Doctor is escaping. Find him -

find the Doctor.

SUPREME DALEK DAVROS (cont'd)

Find the Doctor! Seek, (V.O.)

locate, destroy! Find him! Stop him!

CUT TO:

24 INT. DALEK CITY/CORRIDORS/CONTROL ROOMS - DAY 24

Cutting round the gleaming spaces of the Dalek city. DALEKS

everywhere taking up the cry - a cacophony

DALEKS:

(Various, overlapping)

Seek, locate, destroy. Locate the

Doctor. Exterminate the Doctor!

Exterminate!!

CUT TO:

25 EXT. DALEK CITY - DAY 25

Now the exterior of the city - the gleaming towers and

monorails. Flying DALEKS rising into the air.

DALEKS:

Exterminate the Doctor.

Exterminate! Exterminate! Seek,

locate, exterminate!

26 EXT. SKARO - DAY 26

Longer shot of the city. Even from this distance, we can hear

the screams and cries of the Daleks.

Now on MISSY and CLARA - they’ve come to a halt, staring at

the city.

CLARA:

What’s happening?

On the wind:

DALEKS:

Seek, locate, destroy. Exterminate!

Exterminate! Exterminate!

MISSY smirks.

MISSY:

Who do you think? Bless!

CLARA:

He’s in the middle of that?

MISSY:

Where else? Ah, that’s what we

need!

She starts scrambling up a slight hill, towards what looks

like a cave entrance.

CLARA looks up - the sun is setting over the Dalek city. The

shadows are lengthening ...

CUT TO:

27 INT. DALEK CITY. CORRIDOR - DAY 27

DALEKS gliding along.

DALEKS:

Seek, locate, destroy!

CUT TO:

28 INT. DAVROS HOSPITAL STATION. CORRIDOR - DAY 28

DALEKS, now entering the hospital area, prowling the gloom.

DALEK:

Locate the Doctor! Exterminate the

Doctor!

INT. DALEK CITY. DALEK CONTROL - DAY 29

A blaze of activity - DALEKS in crisis. Davros's voice still

wheedling over the speakers.

DAVROS:

(V.O.)

Help me. Assist me!

DALEK 1

Davros approaches.

SUPREME DALEK:

Admit Davros! Admit the creator.

One of the doors - the one leading to the Infirmary Section -

starts slowly sliding up, revealing the Dalek base of

Davros’s chair.

DAVROS:

(V.O.)

Help me. I require assistance. Help

me!!

DALEKS now gathering round the opening door.

SUPREME DALEK:

Assist Davros! Assist! Assist!

CUT TO:

30 INT. SICK ROOM - DAY 30

Two DALEKS gliding round the Sick Room, their eyestalks

spinning DALEKS

Seek, locate, destroy!

One DALEK comes to a halt, staring down at the floor!

Close on the DALEK iris, widening in shock.

CUT TO:

31

INT. DALEK CITY. DALEK CONTROL - DAY 31

The door, sliding up, reveals ...

THE DOCTOR!! He’s sitting in Davros's chair!!

The DALEKS, all sliding backwards. Oh dear God!

THE DOCTOR, now gliding forwards.

THE DOCTOR:

Admit it. You’ve all had this exact

nightmare.

CUT TO:

32 INT. SICK ROOM - DAY 32

The two DALEKS staring down at:

DALEK's POV.

Lying on the floor, reaching up with a single clawed hand, is

half a man. DAVROS, stripped from his Dalek base. Below the

waist, he is nothing but tangle of cables and wires ...

DAVROS:

Sarff! Get me Sarff!

SARFF:

I am here.

CUT TO:

33 INT. DALEK CITY. DALEK CONTROL - DAY 33

THE DOCTOR sitting calmly in the DAVROS chair. Encircled by

DALEKS.

THE DOCTOR:

So! Anyone for dodgems?

A silence. Then.

SUPREME DALEK:

Exterminate!

The encircling DALEKS all blast at once

-the chair disappears in a blast of white light!

CUT TO:

34 EXT. SKARO - DAY 34

CLARA and MISSY stand at the cave mouth, looking down into

it. Clearly it’s a precipitous drop.

CLARA:

Okay. It’s a hole in the ground.

MISSY:

Your entire life is heading towards

a hole in the ground - you should

take more of an interest.

CLARA:

Why?

MISSY:

Because we need to get into the

Dalek city.

CLARA:

What, and this is the back door?

MISSY:

Back doors are for amateurs.

CLARA:

What’s for professionals?

MISSY:

Sewers.

CLARA:

Daleks have sewers?

MISSY:

With one significant difference.

CLARA:

Being?

MISSY:

They’re ever so slightly alive.

CLARA:

They’re what?

MISSY:

Just a smidge. How much of a drop

would you say that is? Can you see

the bottom?

CLARA:

Too dark. We could chuck a stone

down, or something.

MISSY:

Good idea.

MISSY reaches over and shoves CLARA into the cave. She

topples, crying out

-disappears into the darkness. A moment, then a crash as she

hits the rock below.

MISSY (cont’d)

Twenty feet!
