1.
Spinning, blurry.
A faint impression, of blue sky, mountains and a dark figure
rotating past us - but all upside down!
The spinning, slowing. Becoming gentle revolutions.
The upside-down figure, silhouetted against the blazing sun -
it is clearly MISSY.
MISSY:
Consider the Doctor.
CUT TO:
- a flash of
THE DOCTOR's eyes snap open, blaze straight at us (as in The
Day Of The Doctor.)
CUT TO:
Slower revolutions, less blurry.
MISSY, still talking, but now we can see that she is casually
sharpening a stick.
MISSY:
The Doctor, trapped. The Doctor,
alone.
(Looks directly into the
camera)
You all right there, dear?
Wider. Out on the plains of Skaro, the Dalek city glittering
in the far distance. MISSY, sharpening a stick with a little
knife.
CLARA:
she’s trussed up, hanging upside down from a treebranch, and revolving slowly. Blinking awake. (The above was
her POV.)
CLARA:
... where ..? how did we ..?
MISSY:
Shh, now, Mummy’s talking. Okay,
the Doctor. On the run, no TARDIS,
no friends, no help. In other
words, the Doctor happy.

4 INT. EXOTIC BUILDING - DAY 4
A place of marble columns and gantries. Looks exotic, could
even be alien.
There is zap sound and a glow from behind one of the columns
MISSY:
(V.O.)
This was a long time ago.
A figure flits between the columns, wearing a floppy hat and
a long scarf - clearly the TOM BAKER DOCTOR. He’s only
briefly glimpsed before he darts behind another column.
MISSY (cont’d)
(V.O.)
Doesn’t matter which face he was
wearing
-the figure flits between the next two columns, this time
much smaller, with long white hair - the WILLIAM HARTNELL
DOCTOR MISSY:
(cont’d)
(V.O.)
They’re all the Doctor to me.
Now moving closer on the CAPALDI DOCTOR, as he races from
behind the next pillar, now flattens himself against a wall.
Looking around - hunted, haunted, a man on the run!
MISSY (cont’d)
(V.O.)
So let’s give it to the eyebrows.
CUT TO:
CLARA, slowly revolving to a halt, still blinking in
confusion.
CLARA:
... I don’t ... where are we?
MISSY:
A few miles from where we were.
CLARA:
But ... the Daleks ...
MISSY:
I’m coming to that.
CLARA:
Shouldn’t we be ... I don’t want to
say dead?

Hush!
CUT TO:
6 INT. EXOTIC BUILDING - DAY 6
Close on THE DOCTOR, eyes darting around, frantically.
Cutting round details - shadows, columns, flickers of
movement.
MISSY:
(V.O.)
The City of the Screaming Lakes.
Abandoned for over two-thousand
years. He got in by teleporter -
doesn’t matter why.
On THE DOCTOR, frantically jabbing at a wrist unit that looks
like a big elaborate watch.
MISSY (cont’d)
(V.O.)
What matters is that his teleporter
is now out of power.
THE DOCTOR, frustrated - slamming the teleport bracelet
against a wall. Damn it, damn it!
Now -Zap! Zap! Zap! Zap!
From all around, in every corner, behind every pillar, the
same zaps and glows that accompanied his own arrival.
MISSY (cont’d)
(V.O.)
Also worth mentioning - he’s being
stalked by, oh, say about fifty
android assassins.
CUT TO:
CLARA hanging, MISSY whittling. She shoots a grin at CLARA.
MISSY:
I may be rounding up.
