CLARA:

We do.

MISSY follows her look. Yep.

MISSY:

He’s trapped at the heart of the

Dalek empire. Between us and him is

everything the deadliest warrior

race in the history of the universe

can throw at us. We, on the other

hand, have a pointy stick. How we

do we start?

CLARA:

We assume we’re going to win.

A little nod from MISSY. Almost a smile.

MISSY:

Pity really. I was actually quite

peckish.

She starts walking towards the Dalek city, swishing her

stick, utterly confident.

CLARA:
God, she’s mad! Then she’s running to catch up.

We hold on them a moment, heading off together ...

CLARA:

Can I have a stick, too?

MISSY:

Make your own stick.

CUT TO:

OPENING TITLES:

21 EXT. BATTLEFIELD - DAY 21

The BOY, as we last saw him, pleading with the departed

Doctor - the sound of the TARDIS, dematerialising...

BOY:

(V.O.)

Please, you can’t leave me, you

promised, you did! ... ... You said

I had a chance!!

The scrape of a foot from behind him. He startles, spins,

What??

And now he’s staring up at someone ...

BOY (cont’d)

Who are CUT

TO:

22 INT. SICK ROOM - DAY 22

- on the adult DAVROS. His head is bowed, the blue light in

his forehead dimmed

-as we cut to him his head is rising, the blue light

flickering on.

A moment of disorientation, looking around.

Alone in the room, except for THE

DOCTOR, standing there, staring at him. That hatchet

face, baleful. Silent. Never looked more ominous.

DAVROS:

Forgive an old man, Doctor ... so

often I grow weak. The past rises

up to obscure the present ... as

the future closes its doors.

THE DOCTOR:
silent.

DAVROS (cont’d)

It took me so long to understand it

was you. You, all along. But old

age is a time for memories, and

there you were - standing at the

gates of my beginning.

THE DOCTOR:
nothing.

DAVROS (cont’d)

You taught me the most valuable

lesson of all. We are alone.

THE DOCTOR still saying silent. Now looking round the

chamber.

DAVROS (cont’d)

In life the only reality is

yourself. So I filled the world

with me!

He flicks a switch. All around, screens illuminate. The Dalek

city, all the DALEKS buzzing around it.

Now on the screens, scenes of DALEK conquest and destruction!

DAVROS glories in it - the good old days.

DAVROS (cont’d)

The universe turned on a helpless

child - and found itself

outnumbered.
