Beasts and Witches
1. BLACK VOID
The JESTER jumps around and stops –
- CU on the Jester.
JESTER: An old prophecy stated that in the years of the Witch-Hunt, a dragon protected his treasure, and soon it would destroy all humanity. It stated that a man in a blue box would come and destroy it.
CUT TO:
2. EXT. LONDON OUTSKIRTS – DAY
THE DOCTOR and AMY step out of the TARDIS.
DOCTOR: This must be London, 1546.
AMY: Uh, isn’t that when the Witch-Hunts took place?
DOCTOR: So?
AMY: Sonic Screwdriver, Psychic Paper, box that’s huge on the inside…
DOCTOR: You’re right, let’s go back.
AMY: Good idea.
DOCTOR: Yeah right!
AMY: I tried!
JESTER (VO): The prophecy never stated what the man would have to go through first, though.

CUT TO:
4. EXT. LONDON OUTSKIRTS – DAY
AMY: So where now?
DOCTOR: You tell me.
AMY: Back.
DOCTOR: Apart from that! You’re worse than Martha! And she wanted to kill her granddad!
ARTHUR KING walks up to the Doctor and Amy.
AMY: Doctor.
The Doctor turns around.
DOCTOR: Who’s that?
AMY: I think its Martha’s granddad.
ARTHUR: I’m Arthur King.
AMY: Not now.
ARTHUR: And what’s your name?
DOCTOR: John Smith.
AMY: And I’m the Doctor. John’s my reluctant companion.
DOCTOR: More like the other way round. I’m the Doctor, he’s John.
AMY: You mean the Doctor and Amy.
DOCTOR: She’s very reluctant! She wants to kill you!
ARTHUR: What?!
DOCTOR: She thinks you’re Martha’s granddad.
ARTHUR: So?!
AMY: Never mind. Arthur? Arthur King? Are you sure it’s not the other way round?
ARTHUR: I’m sure.
DOCTOR: I met the king.
AMY: He’s crazy.
ARTHUR: She’s right.
DOCTOR: Hey!
ARTHUR: There’s a beast on the loose, driven by chaos.
DOCTOR: Oh.
(TO AMY)
Guess we have to stay here now.
AMY: Chaos? What do you mean?
ARTHUR: Follow me.
CUT TO:
5. INT. PRISON – NIGHT
There’s a jail cell –
- Inside a beast –
- Surrounded by a purple light.
DOCTOR: Why did you ask me?
ARTHUR: You seem trustworthy.
AMY: Really?
DOCTOR: (TO AMY) It seems almost… familiar.
(TO ARTHUR)
Tell the truth.
A man steps out of the shadows.
VOICE: Doctor.
DOCTOR: Davros.
AMY: Davros, creator of the Daleks, Davros?
DOCTOR: That’s the one.
AMY: You look calm for it.
DOCTOR: I can’t stop him.
AMY: What?!
DOCTOR: If he’s back now, that is. He must be invincible.
DAVROS: Aren’t you going to ask how?
DOCTOR: I don’t need to know.
AMY: I do.
DAVROS: Sorry, can’t tell you.
AMY: Hey!
DAVROS: Still choosing powerful companions, I see.
DOCTOR: Naturally. What do you want?
DAVROS: Now you ask questions.
AMY: You still haven’t answered my question.
DAVROS: Something revived me.
AMY: What did?
DAVROS: That is the Chaos Beast.
DOCTOR: A chaos beast?
DAVROS: THE Chaos Beast.
DOCTOR: Which is?
DAVROS: Works for something. Now chaos drives it.
DOCTOR: Who does it work for?
ARTHUR: A dragon.
AMY: You’re kidding me, right?
ARTHUR: It is said that it holds a hoard of treasure. But beasts guard it.
DOCTOR: And now it’s been taken over by chaos. Beasts how?
ARTHUR: People. People who he controlled.
DOCTOR: And you trapped him there.
ARTHUR: He works for the dragon.
DOCTOR: It’s not his fault.
A beast enters.
DOCTOR (CONT’D): Now look what you’ve done!
CUT TO:
6. INT. UNDERGROUND MAIN HALL – NIGHT
DRAGON: My beast. It’s… different. Destroy it.
CUT TO:
7. INT. PRISON – NIGHT
The Doctor uses his Sonic Screwdriver on the Beast –
- A few seconds later –
- Arthur puts down his walkie-talkie.
DOCTOR: Who was that?
ARTHUR: The police. You’re a witch.
DAVROS: Goodbye, Doctor.
DOCTOR: I get it. I tell the horrible truth, I get accused of being a witch. How original.
AMY: But he’s the only one who can save that thing.
ARTHUR: Do you want me to accuse you too?
AMY: You’re evil.
ARTHUR: So is he.
AMY: He’s not evil.
ARTHUR: He’s killed people.
AMY: And you’re going to kill him.
ARTHUR: Got a problem with that?
AMY: Yes.
The Doctor throws Amy a key.
DOCTOR: Take this. Go back to the TARDIS. Stop the dragon.
AMY: Simple enough. Any other bright ideas?
DOCTOR: Yes, as a matter of fact. Save me.
AMY: I’ll think about it.
ARTHUR: The TARDIS. A witch’s weapon?
DOCTOR: You know this is wrong.
ARTHUR: The police will find it before you do.
Davros disappears –
- The POLICE come in.
DOCTOR: Amy. Run.
AMY: I’m not leaving you.
Arthur points at the Doctor.
ARTHUR: It’s him.
The police handcuff the Doctor.
DOCTOR: Run.
AMY: Your screwdriver.
The Doctor waves his handcuffs.
AMY (CONT’D): Why won’t you resist?
DOCTOR: They’ll get backup. We need their trust.
ARTHUR: Gag him.
AMY: You know where the TARDIS is.
ARTHUR: Yes.
AMY: I should run now.
ARTHUR: Yes.
CUT TO:
8. INT. UNDERGROUND MAIN HALL – NIGHT
DRAGON: It’s destroyed!
The dragon roars –
- Beasts appear behind it.
DRAGON (CONT’D): Tonight, we attack!
The beasts and the dragon roar –
- Hundreds more beasts appear.
CUT TO:
9. INT. TARDIS ENTRANCE HALL – DAY
AMY: How am I supposed to save you, Doctor?
CUT TO:
10. INT. PRISON CELL #1 – NIGHT
The Doctor is thrown in a cell –
- A woman is already inside, handcuffed.
DOCTOR: Hello.
WOMAN: Hello.
DOCTOR: You look familiar.
WOMAN: Am I?
DOCTOR: Maybe.
WOMAN: Witch?
DOCTOR: How’d you guess?
WOMAN: Everyone is, Except for the Chaos Beast.
DOCTOR: How do you know about that? Were you caught before it?
WOMAN: I’m a real witch.
DOCTOR: Impossible!
WOMAN: Oh, I am very possible. Shhhhhhhhhh! Guards!
CUT TO:
11. INT. TARDIS CENTRAL CONTROL ROOM – DAY
Amy walks in.
AMY: What am I supposed to be looking for?!
There’s a banging on the door.
ARTHUR: Let us in.
AMY: No way!
Amy runs out.
CUT TO:
12. INT. PRISON CELL #1 – NIGHT
The guards leave.
DOCTOR: But how can you be a real witch?!
CU on the woman.
WOMAN: Do you remember the End of Time, Doctor? It would have created a new universe, a universe of magic and wonder. But it only had enough energy to create me.
CUT TO:
13. INT. TARDIS PROPHECY ROOM – NIGHT
AMY: I shouldn’t be here.
Amy disappears.
CUT TO:
14. BLACK VOID
AMY: Where am I?
Amy’s POV –
- The JESTER appears in front of her.
AMY (CONT’D): Where am I?
JESTER: The Black Void.
AMY: Which is?
JESTER: I don’t like to explain things twice.
AMY: Twice?
JESTER: Your friend, the Doctor.
AMY: Who are you?
JESTER: Wouldn’t you like to know?
AMY: You look like a court jester.
JESTER: Nice of you to notice.
AMY: Why am I here?
JESTER: You need help.
AMY: No I don’t.
JESTER: Yes, you do. Do you want the Doctor to die?
AMY: No.
JESTER: Goodbye.
CUT TO:
15. INT. TARDIS PROPHECY ROOM – NIGHT
AMY: What was that?
A prophecy glows.
AMY (CONT’D): What’s that?
The prophecy opens –
Amy runs to the Entrance Hall.
CUT TO:
16. INT. TARDIS ENTRANCE HALL – DAY
Amy opens the door –
Arthur King comes in.
ARTHUR: It’s bigger on the inside.
AMY: Ah, yes. Now, tell me. What is this?
CU on Arthur –
- Mouth wide open.
ARTHUR: Bigger on the inside.
AMY: And on the outside?
ARTHUR: A blue box.
Amy throws the prophecy to Arthur –
- He reads it.
AMY: You saw, the Doctor came from here. This is a blue box. He’ll save you. He’s the only one who can save you.
ARTHUR: Do you know how long you’ve been in there? A few hours. He’s going on trial.
AMY: Free all the prisoners.
ARTHUR: What?!
AMY: They’re all innocent! NONE of them are witches.
ARTHUR: The Chaos Beast?
Amy pauses.
ARTHUR (CONT’D): Well?
AMY: If he’s free and the Doctor defeats the dragon, he’ll be defeated too.
ARTHUR: I’ll have a warrant for their freedom, but your friend is in a courtroom. If his trial’s already started, the only way out is to prove himself innocent.
CUT TO:
17. INT. COURTROOM #5 – NIGHT
WITCH: Your turn, Doctor.
DOCTOR: I know.
The Doctor steps forward.
JUDGE: You have been accused of being a witch. Is this true?
DOCTOR: I accept all the charges.
JUDGE: Very well, that was a short trial. I hereby find you…
Amy runs in.
AMY: This is the last courtroom. Please, Doctor. Be here!
Amy frowns.
AMY (CONT’D): Great! I save everyone in every courtroom, but you’re stuck in a trial! I can’t save you! But anyone else is free. I have a warrant.
Amy chucks the warrant to the judge –
- The judge examines it.
AMY (CONT’D): Come on, then! Examine it! And find the Doctor innocent!
JUDGE: I can’t. I HAVE to have proof that he’s not a witch if the trial’s already started.
AMY: I have something else.
Arthur gives the prophecy to the judge.
Silence.
The judge looks up.
JUDGE: (TO THE DOCTOR) You have a blue box?
DOCTOR: Yes.
JUDGE: Show me.
CUT TO:
18. INT. TARDIS ENTRANCE HALL – DAY
The TARDIS door opens –
- The Doctor and the Judge enter.
JUDGE: It’s bigger on the inside.
DOCTOR: Yep, I get that a lot. Except from Amy.
JUDGE: You tell the truth.
DOCTOR: So then. Where’s this dragon?
Arthur enters the TARDIS.
ARTHUR: It only comes out at midnight.
DOCTOR: You didn’t notice…
Arthur shrugs.
ARTHUR: Amy already showed me.
DOCTOR: Evil Amy. By the way. Prophecy. Show me. Now.
The Doctor reads the prophecy.
DOCTOR (CONT’D): Ah. I see. Let’s stop the dragon, then.
CUT TO:
19. EXT. LONDON OUTSKIRTS – NIGHT
AMY: What would you have done without me?
DOCTOR: I’d have… improvised.
AMY: Yeah, right.
DOCTOR: Ok, no. But now I do.
AMY: And you mean?
DOCTOR: It’s 10pm.
AMY: Wait. Don’t tell me it’s an alien?
DOCTOR: Ok. I won’t.
AMY: You’re kidding.
DOCTOR: It hides underground, protects its treasure. Oh, and it has an army of hundreds of beasts.
AMY: Great.
DOCTOR: At midnight, no one knows where it will appear. It creates an amazing place underground to live in, but when it thinks someone is about to steal it’s treasure – midnight – that’s all you have, until it’s beasts rip you apart piece by piece.
AMY: Nice way to be killed.
The Doctor ignores Amy.
DOCTOR: The weird thing is the Chaos Beast – cause the dragon is the last of its kind – it’s been betrayed way too many times. It takes people and turns them into beasts. If it chaoticizes them – what?! Chaoticize is a word! Fine – fills them with chaos – happy?! Anyway, if he fills them with chaos, they might betray him. His race was murdered by creatures from the old universe. You see, dragons come from the dark times of the universe. The creatures survived until the end of the dark times. Horath was from the old universe too – he ruled the forces of the old universe, but got trapped. Sorry, I got ahead of myself.
AMY: What killed them?
DOCTOR: Witches. And we have one.
AMY: Who?
DOCTOR: The woman from the courtroom. But WE have to go underground. Without anyone.
CUT TO:
20. INT. UNDERGROUND CORRIDOR #8 – NIGHT
AMY: I give up! We’ve been here for hours!
DOCTOR: It feels like it. But it’s just been an hour.
AMY: And we’ve been here since about 10.59pm.
DOCTOR: You’re so pessimistic. But you’re right.
Amy looks at the next room.
AMY: Look.
The Doctor looks in.
DOCTOR: Time to reason with it.
AMY: Bet you wish you brought the witch with you now.
The Doctor goes in.
AMY (CONT’D): Because I sure do.
Amy goes in.
CUT TO:
21. INT. UNDERGROUND MAIN HALL – NIGHT
The Doctor runs through the crowds of beasts –
- All snarling at him.
DOCTOR: Hello! I’m the Doctor! And no one’s trying to steal your treasure.
Amy runs in.
AMY: How much treasure does it have?
DRAGON: Kill them.
DOCTOR: Now I wish I brought the witch with me.
DRAGON: It’s midnight. If the quake doesn’t kill you, the beasts will.
AMY: What quake?
The Dragon rises and breaks the ceiling –
- The ground breaks beneath Amy –
- Amy falls.
DOCTOR: Amy!
The Doctor runs and jumps over the cracking floor –
- The beasts right after him.
The Doctor tries using the sonic screwdriver –
- It won’t work.
The beasts surround him –
- The Doctor throws his hands up –
- And disappears.
CUT TO:
22. EXT. LONDON OUTSKIRTS – NIGHT
The Doctor appears.
WITCH: Hello. Sorry it took so long. Saving Amy from a bottomless pit took a lot out of me.
DOCTOR: I thought I was finally going to die for good.
AMY: We’ve found the dragon.
WITCH: And the Chaos Beast.
ARTHUR: Any questions before we die?
DOCTOR: One. When did you last check where the dragon was?
Everyone looks back.
DOCTOR (CONT’D): Everyone get out of here! Except you witch!
AMY: And me!
DOCTOR: You especially go.
(TO THE DRAGON)
So where’s the Chaos Beast, then?
DRAGON: Disappeared. To a creature from the Old Universe.
DOCTOR: You have to understand we’ll stop you.
DRAGON: Really? I have hundreds of beasts.
Lots of beasts crash out of the ground.
DOCTOR: Witch?
DRAGON: Impossible!
The witch throws green beams of light at the beasts –
- Who are coming faster.
WITCH: They’re coming faster! I don’t have enough energy to stop all of them!
DOCTOR: Can you teleport me?!
WITCH: The TARDIS?!
DOCTOR: I’d rather save its energy!
WITCH: Ok!
DOCTOR: Where was the Chaos Beast before?!
WITCH: In the prison.
DOCTOR: Teleport me there.
CUT TO:
23. INT. PRISON – NIGHT
The Doctor appears.
DOCTOR: Hello, Davros.
DAVROS: Hello.
DOCTOR: I’ve always been good at hide and seek. Do you remember the competition around the universe. Took a bit long, but… I need your help.
DAVROS: First, the of Life revived me. Two, I was here to fill a beast with chaos.
DOCTOR: What?
DAVROS: Your questions. And you want to stop the dragon. Luckily for you, I’ve got a Dalek. I’ve set it to destroy the DNA of the dragon. The only other thing I can set it to is humans. The dragon can run away. It only affects people in this world.
DOCTOR: Why are you helping me?
DAVROS: I have nothing better to do.
The Chaos Beast appears.
The Doctor disappears.
CUT TO:
24. EXT. LONDON OUTSKIRTS – NIGHT
The Doctor appears.
The witch is still fighting beasts.
WITCH: So that was?…
DOCTOR: I’ll give you a choice, dragon. You can leave this world with your treasure. But if not, you’re going to kill innocent people. I’ll kill you and the beasts.
DRAGON: You’re right. I’ve done bad things in my life. Kill me.
DOCTOR: You’re the last of the dragons. I refuse to kill you.
DRAGON: So you just threatened to kill me.
DOCTOR: Before you turned good.
DRAGON: Keep my treasure.
DOCTOR: I won’t.
DRAGON: You really are the Doctor. Stubborn.
A red Dalek appears –
- And explodes!
The dragon explodes!
The beasts turn human!
Amy goes to the Doctor.
AMY: He wanted you to have the treasure.
The Doctor picks up the treasure and opens it –
- Taking out a piece of paper –
- And hiding it.
DOCTOR: To the TARDIS.
CUT TO:
25. INT. TARDIS CENTRAL CONTROL ROOM
The Doctor hesitates.
DOCTOR: This feels so wrong. The TARDIS has the tiniest bit of its living heart left. It’s really weak.
AMY: What was the treasure?
DOCTOR: “Now do you know who she is?”
AMY: What does that mean?
DOCTOR: First, look behind you.
Amy looks behind –
- Arthur is there.
AMY: You turned good in the end.
ARTHUR: I know.
DOCTOR: Let’s take him to the 21st century. That’s where we’re headed.
AMY: What?!
DOCTOR: Just for the message.
CUT TO:
26. EXT. LONDON STREET – DAY
A boy hears the sound of the TARDIS –
- Holding THE JOURNAL OF IMPOSSIBLE THINGS.
CUT TO:
27. EXT. HOSPITAL – DAY
AMY: This is the same hospital I met you in.
DOCTOR: I know. I need something here. Go show Arthur around.
The Doctor pauses.
DOCTOR (CONT’D): I haven’t give you a TARDIS key.
AMY: No you haven’t.
DOCTOR: I’ll keep the door open.
The Doctor goes inside the hospital.
Amy shows Arthur around.
The boy goes in the TARDIS.
CUT TO:
28. INT. HOSPITAL RECEPTION – DAY
The Doctor charges in.
DOCTOR: Hello. I’m looking for you!
RECEPTIONIST: Hello. I’ve just seen you. And before… what? 500 years ago?
DOCTOR: 464.
RECEPTIONIST: So you know who I am.
DOCTOR: I don’t know what you want, but I’ll stop you.
RECEPTIONIST: We’ll see!
