CORN FIELD, DAY
AMY and RORY get out of the car to see the DOCTOR and the TARDIS in the middle of the crop circle they just made. Have you found Melody? The DOCTOR stops and lowers the paper, AMY and RORY standing behind him, as they hear an engine and see a red Corvette coming straight at them. (packs schoolwork into bag and stands)
MELS: It's all right for you. DAY
The TARDIS continues to spin out of control and AMY screams. We could not have saved Hitler. HITLER: He was going to kill me. MELS: Hitler... The DOCTOR stands as MELS begins to glow with regeneration energy. RORY: But if she's Melody, that means she's also...
MELS: Oh, shut up, Dad! They turn to look at her. (kisses him)
DOCTOR: Only River Song gets to call me that. River! The DOCTOR, AMY and RORY are standing against the desk. The poison will kill me first. Now, get after River! OFFICER: Shoot her. JIM: But he doesn't die here. You will die in 32 minutes. Welcome aboard the Teselecta. TESELECTA AMY: You killed the Doctor. TESELECTA, BRIDGE, DAY
CARTER speaks into a microphone by his chair that controls the TESELECTA'S voice. Time travel has... responsibilities. Give her hell. The crew is beamed away. He heads for the TARDIS as MELODY watches from a chair. Save Amy and Rory. They are surrounded by ANTIBODIES who echo each other.

Summary: Amy and Rory summon the Doctor to Leadworth, and he admits he has not found Melody. They are met by Mels, their childhood friend responsible for Amy and Rory's relationship and whom Amy named Melody after. Mels hijacks the TARDIS and causes it to spin out of control and crash into Hitler 's office in 1938 Berlin . They accidentally save Hitler, as they disrupted a Teselecta , a shapeshifting robot piloted by miniaturised people to punish criminals, from killing him. Before Rory locks him away, Hitler shoots at the Teselecta but hits Mels instead. Instead of dying, however, Mels begins to regenerate into another incarnation which they recognise as River Song. She attempts to kill the Doctor several times before she kisses him; he discovers her lipstick was laced with poison that will kill him in 32 minutes. The Teselecta identifies River as responsible for the Doctor's death and thus a criminal, but Amy and Rory plead they not torture her and turn the Teselecta's security robots against the crew, who promptly teleport out. River saves the dying Doctor by giving up all her remaining regenerations.
