-as the action grinds into ultra slow motion, freezing him

mid-skid.

MISSY:

(V.O.)

Surrounded!

CUT TO:

11 EXT. SKARO - DAY 11

MISSY, inspecting the sharpened end of her stick.

MISSY:

Outnumbered. Outgunned.

CUT TO:

12

INT. EXOTIC BUILDING - DAY 12

On the freeze-frame Doctor. A building whine

-and all the invisible guns circling him, start firing.

Still in ultra-slow motion visible energy beams from the

invisible guns, and start converging, sluggishly, on THE

DOCTOR.

MISSY:

(V.O.)

Nanoseconds to live. Four, I’d say,

being generous.

CUT TO:

13

EXT. SKARO - DAY 13

MISSY, now swishing her stick around.

MISSY:

Now, even if the Doctor, by some

miracle, survives the blast, that

won’t save him. The androids are

indestructible, immortal,

unstoppable. They’ll just keep on

killing him until they think he’s

dead enough.

Rounds on CLARA, marches up to her. Stands there, slapping

the stick against the palm of her other hand.

MISSY (cont’d)

My question is this. How did he

survive?

On CLARA, watching the slapping stick, getting the

uncomfortable feeling she’s talking to avoiding being lunch!

MISSY (cont’d)

Come on, Clara! You know him.

Consider the Doctor.

Close on CLARA, thinking frantically!

CUT TO:

14 INT. EXOTIC BUILDING - DAY 14

On the frozen DOCTOR, surrounded by the frozen energy beams

converging on him

-pulling out to reveal CLARA hanging upside down in the

foreground, staring at him (she’s picturing the scenario.)

How did he escape?

Close on the frozen DOCTOR. Impossibly (in CLARA's

imagination) he turns to look at CLARA, grins, winks at her.

On CLARA:
grins back. Got it!

CUT TO:

15 EXT. SKARO - DAY 15

MISSY waiting, CLARA grinning.

CLARA:

Where did he get the teleport

thingie?

MISSY:

Oh good, very good. He stole it

from one of the androids.

CLARA:

So, I’m guessing it works off the

same power source as the android

weapons, right?

MISSY:

Excellent! I’m not seeing you as

sandwiches now.

CLARA:

Okay then!

CUT TO:

16 INT. EXOTIC BUILDING - DAY 16

On the frozen DOCTOR - the ultra-slow motion starts up again.

THE DOCTOR starts dropping down, holding the teleport

bracelet aloft, with the sonic screwdriver jammed against it.

The slow-motion beams of energy start converging on the

screwdriver and bracelet.
