TEXT: THE TIME MEDDLER DENNIS SPOONER 5:40pm - 6:05pm [SCENE_BREAK] 1: INT. MONASTERY. PASSAGEWAY OUTSIDE CELL (NIGHT) (STEVEN succeeds in picking the lock. He and VICKI rush inside the cell...) [SCENE_BREAK] 2: INT. MONASTERY. CELL (NIGHT) (On the bed, the DOCTOR'S cloak covers his form.) VICKI: Doctor, wake up, we're here! Doctor? (She pulls the cloak back. Underneath is just a pile of furs...) VICKI: He's gone! He's gone! [SCENE_BREAK] 3: INT. MONASTERY. CHAMBER (NIGHT) (WULNOTH supports ELDRED as the MONK leads them into a chamber where straw covers a shelf in an alcove.) MONK: Make him comfortable here, my son. I'll return soon and tend his wounds. WULNOTH: Oh, thank you father. (The MONK watches nervously as WULNOTH settles ELDRED. Unseen by the two Saxons, he leaves the chamber.) [SCENE_BREAK] 4: INT. MONASTERY. CELL (NIGHT) VICKI: Well, this is definitely his cloak. (STEVEN has been looking through the open cell door. He now shuts it closed.) STEVEN: Yes, he was in here all right, Vicki. What's happened to him? VICKI: The door was locked wasn't it? STEVEN: Of course it was. You saw me open it myself. The Monk thought he was in here too. VICKI: What? Because the clothes of the bed hadn't been moved? STEVEN: Well, it makes sense doesn't it? How did he get out? (He sits on the edge of the bed.) VICKI: There's only one possible answer. STEVEN: What? VICKI: A secret
