The narrative assertion
"Following the fight, Marco Polo urges the Doctor to take the TARDIS keys quickly (beat_2fe4db5a999cfb28) which are likely given to the Doctor using the parchment to escape, directly connected to Marco Polo handing it to the Doctor to stay put and after he realizes the Khan is in danger (beat_3ab7dc8a8c24650f)."
