CLARA:

(V.O.)

He uses the energy wave from the

weapons, to recharge the teleport

bracelet.

THE DOCTOR flickers out of existent.

CLARA (cont’d)

(V.O.)

At the exact moment he’s supposed

to disintegrate, he actually

teleports!

CUT TO:

17 EXT. SKARO - DAY 17

On CLARA - getting it!

CLARA:

Hang on - that’s how you did it.

FLASHBACK:
From Death In Heaven: MISSY apparently shot and

disintegrated by the CYBERMEN.

FLASHBACK:
From The Magician’s Apprentice: in quick

succession, MISSY and CLARA shot and disintegrated.

CLARA (cont’d)

That’s how we escaped the Daleks.

MISSY:

I modified the same principle for

our vortex manipulators, yes. Blew

them out, I’m afraid.

(She indicates the charred

mark on her wrist)

But the Doctor improvised it. He

must have got through several

thousand calculations in the time

it takes to fire a disintegrator.

Seriously, what a swot.

CUT TO:

18 INT. EXOTIC BUILDING - DAY 18

THE DOCTOR races along, a free man.

CLARA:

(V.O.)

So the androids think he’s dead and

the Doctor escapes.

MISSY:

(V.O.)

Well

THE DOCTOR just drops out of frame, straight down, as if he’s

fallen through a trapdoor.

MISSY (cont’d)

(V.O.)

That city always was full of traps!

CUT TO:

19 INT. DARKNESS 19

Blackness - the buzz of the screwdriver, illuminating THE

DOCTOR's face.

MISSY:

(V.O.)

-he fell into a nest of vampire

monkeys All

round THE DOCTOR glittering pairs of eyes are snapping

open in the darkness.

CUT TO:

20 EXT. SKARO - DAY 20

MISSY:

-but that’s another story!

MISSY reaches up and, with her knife, slices the rope

suspending CLARA. She crashes to the ground.

MISSY (cont’d)

Why does the Doctor always survive?

CLARA, picking herself up.

CLARA:

Because he’s clever.

MISSY:

There are lots of clever dead

people. I love killing clever-

clogs, they make the best faces.

FLASHBACK:
THE DOCTOR winking at CLARA.

CLARA:

Because he always assumes he’s

going to win - he always knows

somehow there’s a way to survive

FLASHBACK:
THE DOCTOR teleporting away, as the beams

converge.

CLARA (cont’d)

-so all he’s got to do is find it.

MISSY:

Except this time, he made a will,

and threw a goodbye party. When the

Doctor assumes he’s going to die -

what happens then?

CLARA considers for a moment

-looks to the Dalek city glittering in the distance.

Closer. The metal spires and minarets - flying DALEKS buzzing

around them.
