TEXT: EXT. PLANET As we pan across a post-apocalyptic landscape of destroyed and corroded buildings, we hear a WOMAN'S voice-over. One of the buildings is shaped like a Dalek. WOMAN: (V.O.) First there were the Daleks... And then there was a man who fought them. And then, in time, he died. We zoom in through the eyestalk. INT. BUILDING We see someone walking through the halls, a fire burning behind them. WOMAN: (V.O.) There are a few, of course, who believe this man somehow survived...and that one day he will return. For both our sakes, dearest Hannah, we must hope these stories are true. There is a silhouette on the wall and we see it is the DOCTOR. The WOMAN is wearing a hooded cloak and turns from the window as she hears his approach. DOCTOR: I got your message. Not many people can do that, send me messages. WOMAN: I have a daughter. Hannah. She's in a Dalek prison camp. They say you can help. DOCTOR: Do they? I wish they'd stop. (walks to window) Helluva choice of meeting place. WOMAN: They said I'd have to intrigue you. DOCTOR: Skaro. The original planet of the Daleks. Look at the state of it. (turns to WOMAN) Who told you about me? WOMAN: Does it matter? DOCTOR: (walks towards WOMAN) Maybe not. (pulls off her hood) But you're very well informed. (walks away from her) If Hannah's in a Dalek prison camp, tell me, why aren't you? WOMAN: I escaped. DOCTOR: (mirthless chuckle) No, nobody escapes the Dalek camps. (grips her hand) You're very cold. (puts a hand to her cheek then nervously looks around) WOMAN: What's wrong? DOCTOR: It's
SUMMARY:
The Doctor, Amy, and Rory are kidnapped by the Daleks , who explain that a planet they use as an asylum must be destroyed, but to do that its force-field must be disabled. The field has already been ruptured due to the crash-landing of a young woman, Oswin Oswald one year previously. The Daleks provide the three with bracelets to protect them against the planet's defense system, which will convert visitors into Dalek puppets. Although they are guided by Oswin, who has hacked into the planet's systems, the converted remains of Oswin's crew steal Amy's bracelet. The Doctor goes to find Oswin, as she claims to be able to disable the planet's force-field, and Oswin hacks into the Dalek psychic link and erases all memory of the Doctor from the Daleks. The Doctor discovers that Oswin has been fully converted into a Dalek, yet she still believes herself to be human. She ultimately realises the truth, but lowers the force-field and the Doctor, Amy, and Rory escape via teleporter before the planet is destroyed by Daleks. The Doctor returns to the Dalek Parliament to find they have no memory of him due to Oswin's interference.
