Summary

edit

A poorly chosen casino game lands Rory in a fight for his life as he 'works off' a debt for a criminal conspiracy. Amy is lost in space and the Doctor finds himself lost in red tape with the TARDIS well out of reach. Rory's best hope is for the Doctor to impersonate a violent mercenary. And also to run really fast.
