SUPREME DALEK:

It was not a deception.

THE DOCTOR:

Because if Clara Oswald is really

dead, be very, very careful how you

tell me.

Silence. The throbbing Dalek heartbeat.

CUT TO:

41 INT. CAVES. TUNNELS - DUSK / INT. DALEK CITY. DALEK CONTROL -

DUSK:

Intercutting as required.

CLARA, heart-broken - MISSY, fascinated. Almost a little

unnerved.

MISSY:

Well listen to that. The Doctor

without hope.

CLARA:

(Looks at her)

... are you scared?

MISSY:

Listen to him.

THE DOCTOR:

Well. Who wants to tell me? Who

wants to go first?

MISSY:

Nobody is safe now.

THE DOCTOR:

All the power Davros had, is mine.

Everything he had, I have. So! Who

wants to tell me if Clara’s really

dead?

MISSY:

He’ll burn everything. Us too.

CLARA:

Then you need to get me to him.

MISSY:

What, one look at a dumb animal,

and he’ll stop?

CLARA:

Yes!

MISSY’s eyes have flashed - resenting CLARA’s confidence. And

maybe is already forming a plan.

MISSY:

We’ll see.

SUPREME DALEK:

(V.O.)

Clara Oswald is not alive.

CUT TO:

42 INT. DALEK CITY. DALEK CONTROL - DUSK 42

On THE DOCTOR, digesting the news. Calm - but under that, so

steely.

THE DOCTOR:

... you should never have let me in

here, you know?

He swings the chair round to look at a set of screens -

schematics of the city flow across them.

THE DOCTOR (cont’d)

Schematics of your city. I already

know the central weakness of the

entire Dalek empire. And it’s

funny!

From off, that voice:

DAVROS:

This urge for conquest, Doctor ...

THE DOCTOR spins to see

- on the largest of the screens, DAVROS's face.

DAVROS (cont’d)

It is gratifying to see you learn.

THE DOCTOR:

Davros. You’re up. Sorry, this

seat’s taken.

DAVROS:

Indeed. But not by you.

A hissing. THE DOCTOR looks down. A snake has coiled round

his arm. As we watch, snakes come squirming up from down

inside the chair, swarming round him, trapping him.

DAVROS (cont’d)

You’ve met my head of personal

security, I think? Colony Sarff?

His agents are everywhere.

THE DOCTOR:
struggling, trapped - almost disappearing in a

mass of snakes.

DAVROS (cont’d)

Bring him!!

43 INT. SICK ROOM - DUSK 43

On DAVROS, still helpless on the floor. He cranes round,

looking up.

DAVROS:

Are you ready?

Panning to:

COLONY SARFF, standing there, waiting.

SARFF:

Of course.

The coils of his face start to move around, his eyes sliding

off to one side ...

DAVROS:

Be subtle, Colony Sarff - tonight

we entrap a Time Lord.

DISSOLVE TO:

44 EXT. DALEK CITY - NIGHT 44

The night sky, over the Dalek city.

CUT TO:

45 INT. CAVES. TUNNELS - NIGHT 45

MISSY and CLARA rounding a corner, into another (redressed)

section of tunnel. They are both tired and filthy - they’ve

clearly been down here a while.

CLARA:

How long are we going to be down

here? What are we even looking for?

MISSY's face has already lit up. She points!

MISSY:

That?

She points. Some distance down the tunnel, the raised walkway

ends at what is clearly a set of elevator doors.

CLARA:

What is it? A lift?

MISSY:

Never mind the lift, see that

thing, sticking out the wall?

She’s pointing to what looks a little like a Dalek eyestalk

sticking out the wall, just a few feet in front of them, much

nearer than the lift doors.

CLARA:

What about it?

MISSY:

Take a look!

CLARA:

(Stepping to it)

What is it?

MISSY:

Closer.

CLARA:

What am I looking for?

MISSY:

Nothing. I’m giving it a good look

at you!

As CLARA looks at the eyestalk, we see the iris suddenly

expand, registering her!

The lights start flashing red. Alarms blare.

DALEK VOICE:

(Echoing, distant)

Intruder alert! Intruder alert!

CLARA:

Why the hell did you do that??

MISSY:

Ever ring a door bell and run away?

MISSY moves like lightning - in a flash, she has handcuffed

her to the eyestalk.

MISSY (cont’d)

Not this time.

CLARA:

What are you doing??

MISSY:

They’ll send one Dalek down, at a

guess - it’s a routine

extermination, and you’re only

little. You’ll go up like chip fat.

CLARA:

For God’s sake, why are you doing

this??

MISSY:

We need to trap and kill a Dalek -

you’re the bait, I’m the hook.

(She’s pulled off her

brooch, opened the little

pin on the back)

MISSY (cont'd)

Dark star alloy, goes through

armour plating, like a knife

through people -

CLARA:

Uncuff me - now!

MISSY:

(Showing her the brooch

part)

Pretty, though, isn’t it? From the

old days on Gallifrey. The Doctor

gave it to me when my daughter

A beep from the lift. We hear a clanking from above.

MISSY (cont’d)

Keep it talking. We need to draw it

out of the lift.

MISSY now darting out of sight, among the pipes.

CLARA:

You can’t kill a Dalek with a

brooch!!

MISSY darts away, out of sight.

CLARA spins, looks down the lift. Her eyes widen.

The doors are opening on the glowing blue light of a Dalek

eye ... !

DALEK:

Humanoid detected. Remain still. Do

not move, do not move. Humanoid

detected.

Now out of the lift, trundling along the walkway, a DALEK.

One of the bronze ones, a little beaten up. Like maybe the

sewer DALEKS aren’t the top tier.

On CLARA, what the hell does she do??

DALEK (cont’d)

Scan in progress. Humanoid

unauthorised in restricted area.

Sterilisation proceeding.

On the DALEK gun, zeroing in on CLARA.

Through the fish-eye of the DALEK lens. CLARA, thinking

frantically - what the hell does she say??

CLARA:

Exterminate!

On the DALEK. It almost double-takes.

CLARA (cont’d)

You are disobeying orders. You will

be exterminated.

CLARA's eyes flick to one side

-MISSY is slipping through the shadows, manoeuvring round

the DALEK. Keep talking, keep talking.

DALEK:

You are not a Dalek.

CLARA:

You are not obeying. Check your

orders, or you will be

exterminated.

DALEK:

I have no orders.

CLARA:

Exterminate!

A fast moving shadow slips behind the DALEK - MISSY.

MISSY:

Hey you!

The DALEK spins its eyestalk to look at MISSY
