PART ONE
INT. tardis
A door is heard opening and shutting as a man slowly walks toward the center console. The console springs to life as a screen positions itself near the man.
STU (V.O.)
Kaval, you are hurt. The TARDIS can see that your future incarnation - oh - you are regenerating.
KAVAL presses a few buttons as small amounts of powder-like energy emanate from his hands.
Command received and acknowledged, operating under Program 626: I, the Specialized Teaching Unit, will aid wherever needed until you are well.
Kaval walks around with no clear look at his face. He looks at his hands as the energy emanates heavier and in higher quantities.
What of the creature from earlier? The attack seems to have left you temporarily poisoned. Likely you've been cured due to the regeneration process.
No answer is given as Kaval types in more commands.
Backing up all information and preparing TARDIS for adaptation. Forms being debated. Form decided and executed. Regeneration imminent.
Kaval presses one last button, a large blue one, and soon falls to the floor. Upon impact, a large amount of the energy ruptures like a volcano while the screen stays as is while said energy rages on until finally calming down. Kaval stays on the ground.
Regeneration complete...
EXT. Bedroom - morning
An alarm is heard buzzing, however, there is nobody currently in bed. The bed is messy and clothes are all over the place as the shower can be heard in the distance.
INT. Kitchen - morning
Alarm is now off as a figure enters wearing a black hooded shirt over nurse scrubs. She grabs a plate and places two slices of toast on it before sitting down with it. HALEY, a young girl with dirty blonde hair and wearing pink scrubs, enters with a glass of orange juice.
Haley
Come on KARA, we got to go.
KARA (O.S.)
(Chewing)
Eating.
HALEY
Well choke it down and lets go, I already know LINK will be there and he's enough of a jerk when he's not working.
Kara swallows and drinks some tea.
KARA
Not my fault, I wasn't the one that dated him.
HALEY
No, you were the one that decided to point out how he could have been more demanding. One of many reasons why I dumped him.
KARA
Exactly, he was dumped. Mission accomplished. Woo.
HALEY
Uh huh well that's our boss and he can fire both of us easy. Now finish up and lets get to the nut house where I should just leave you.
KARA
Oh no. I'm so scared.
Haley tugs at Kara's hood, lifting it up to reveal Kara's long red hair, tied back into a ponytail. Haley grabs the car keys and leaves.
I want to NOT starve myself this time. Don't be mad.
Kara finishes her toast and tea and heads out.
ExT. outside - moRNING
Kara runs outside toward the car, stops, runs to the door, double checks the locks. She then heads to the car, stops, and double checks the locks again before Haley beeps at her.
InT. haley's Car - morning
The two are both inside Haley's SUV as it drives with Haley as the driver.
HALEY
You're not taking your medication again.
KaRA
Yes I am.
HALEY
So you didn't forget you locked the doors, double checked and forgot your seat belt.
KARA
I have OCD, not Alzheimer's, and I didn't feel like you cared about them.
HALEY
Click it or ticket. You still owe me for the parking tickets by the way.
Kara sighs.
This is why I'm driving, I can't trust you with any of this stuff.
The car is parked and both get out. The sign reads "Helisten Hospital."
InT. Helisten Lobby - morniNG
LINK is there in a long white lab coat as he looks through a listing of all patients. Kara and Haley enter and he looks over right away.
LINK
(Distant)
Haley, I've been waiting on you. I have some new patients that need looking at and I can't help everyone here.
Haley is given the listings. Kara looks at Link.
Ms. Robins, clock in and relieve Martha.
Kara nods and walks away.
HALEY
Kara is trained to help out.
LINK
She is trustworthy enough to answer the phones. I'll decide what she gets to do.
EXT. waiting room - moRNING
Haley keeps quiet and heads to the patient sitting down.
HALEY
Sir? We're ready to see you. I'm Nurse Kramer and I'm here to get as much information about you as possible.
The man nods and follows Haley into a private room.
INT. office - mORNING
Haley sits at her desk while the patient sits down. Haley looks at her file and looks at him.
HALEY
So it appears you do not know who you are and seem to believe you look different?
John Doe
I change all the time.
HALEY
Yes, but it says here you earlier claimed to be a black man in your fifties. Is that right?
JOHN DOE
Yes. That was my old form, this one is based on someone I used to know.
HALEY
So it sounds like you didn't like who you used to be.
JOHN DOE
No, I just lost my old form. I think I could get it back, but I'm not sure how. Perhaps later?
HALEY
Okay, I'm listing you as "John Doe" until we can figure out what your name really is.
John Doe just stares at her.
Is that okay?
John Doe just stares at her. Very creepy look on his face. Haley looks slightly uneasy and hits a red button under the desk. In no time, BOB, a large bald white man, enters.
BOB
New guy?
HALEY
Hi Bob, yeah, if you could take him to his room.
BOB
No problem. Has he been checked out fully?
JOHN DOE
You're big, I want to be big.
BOB
Okay sir, I'm checking you out anyway. Clean out your pockets and into this tray.
Bob places a tray on the desk. John Doe nods and empties his pockets out. Contents include: spare change, paper clips, a thick-looking pen, a small box and a knife. Second the knife is seen, the eyes of both Bob and Haley widen.
HALEY
I'll be sure to have these things put into storage while Bob takes you to your personal room.
John DOE
You have nice eyes Haley.
Haley nods as Bob takes him away. She does a double take noticing that he used her first name, something that she did not give out. She takes the tray and walks away.
InT. Administrative office - day
Kara sits down and preps the computer as FLO, an older black woman, looks at her.
Flo
(Chuckling)
Link still won't let you work?
KARA
Nope, but I'm in too much debt to really care right now. Is it supposed to be busy?
FLO
The hell if I know, I don't get paid enough to look that far ahead.
KARA
To think I get paid less than you do.
FLO
(Chuckling)
So much for college, right?
Kara does respond as she notices one of the new patients looking around as if totally confused. She opens the window.
KARA
(Yelling)
Umm sir? Do you need help?
The man walks over slowly.
Patient A
Hi, I'm supposed to be meeting with the Doctor.
Kara nods and types away.
Kara
Do you have an appointment?
PATIENT A
Yes! I am not sure when or with who but I am supposed to be here.
KARA
Okay, one out of three. Do you have ID?
PATIENT A
Not on me.
KARA
Insurance?
PATIENT A
No.
KARA
Your name?
PATIENT A
No idea.
Kara looks confused and looks over to Flo. Flo looks away, leaving Kara to do this herself.
KARA
Okay, sir, do you have anything that could help me find your records?
Patient A thinks about it.
PATIENT A
I have no idea, I was hit by a car and I think the doctor told me treatment would be-
Link runs over.
LINK
HI! You're here! I'm Doctor Anon and I'll be taking care of you personally.
Both Kara and Flo have an eye on Link as he walks the patient to his office. Haley walks over to Kara and places the tray next to her.
KARA
What's up?
HALEY
(Creeped out)
Where's Link? That patient was never looked at by security. Look what was in his pockets.
Flo looks and is shocked.
Flo
Damn! My best friend's brother's son is on today too. Oh that boy gonna get his ass whooped when I get off the phone.
HALEY
Thanks Flo, that's, very sweet of you.
Flo grabs the phone.
FLO
Well I don't play, that boy wanted a job so bad and he pulls this? No. Security office.
ExT. security office - dAY
The phone rings in the office, but nobody is picking up.
INT. ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICE - dAY
After some time has passed, Flo hangs up looking mad. She takes a few deep breaths before speaking.
FLO
He best not have no-showed, I recommended him and everything. That boy makes me look like a fool and I'm whooping his ass personally.
KARA
Before you whoop his ass personally, can we take care of a few things?
HALEY
Yeah, where did Link go?
KaRA
Oh, he took a new patient into his office.
INT. Link's office - dAY
Link is sitting down in his office as Patient A sits there reading a piece of paper.
LINK
Okay, now I'll take it away and I want you to tell me what you just read.
Link takes the paper away. Patient A nods and takes a breath.
PATIENT A
The missing piece of the puzzle is always the least needed part. You can look for it all your life, but you may be better without it.
Link makes note.
LINK
Interesting, your memory works, so why don't you remember your name?
PATIENT A
I don't know, I guess everything is all scrambled. All I remember is getting in a fight with someone and then getting hit by a car.
LINK
What kind of fight exactly?
PATIENT A
Not sure, I was with a few others. This man had something about him. I really cannot picture it.
Link makes note.
LINK
Sir, we are going to take very good care of you while you heal up.
PATIENT A
Thank you
The door opens and it's Haley.
HALEY
Doctor.
PATIENT A
Doctor?
LINK
Please knock first, I'm with a patient.
HALEY
Well please tell security that they are really dropping the ball. They let a patient in with a lethal weapon.
Link is surprised to hear it.
LINK
Haley, this man here has dealt with a great deal of shock. Indoor voices.
HALEY
Well you're highest up currently on staff today. So make some phone calls or something.
LINK
Fine, now leave. Last thing I want is to hear complaints over an irrational member of staff.
HALEY
Thank you.
A loud scream can be heard.
LINK
You see what a little hostility can do?
Link gets up.
Excuse us, I'll be right back.
The two head out of the office to see police sirens outside.
INT. OutSIDE Hospital - dAY
Police are soon all over as an ambulance comes in. Link and Haley walk outside. OFFICER RYAN sees them and walks over.
RYAN
I'm going to need you two to-
LINK
I demand to know what is going on. I'm head authority here.
HALEY
Really?
Link ignores her as he looks at Officer Ryan.
RYAN
Doctor, this area is now a crime scene. So I'm going to have to ask you once again to go back inside. We will let you know if we find anything worth noting.
HALEY
What crime?
Link shakes his head.
LINK
Back inside nurse, let the men talk.
Haley looks disgusted hearing that and so does Officer Ryan. She sighs and walks inside as the two continue to talk.
EXT. HELISTEN LOBBY - dAY
Haley looks annoyed as Bob walks over.
BOB
Hey, what's happening out there?
HALEY
Crime scene apparently, one not meant for women to look at.
BoB
I got it.
Bob heads outside.
INT. aDMINISTRATIVE OFFICE - dAY
Flo is staring at the screen as Kara is doing paperwork. Flo soon taps Kara on the shoulder.
KARA
Hmm?
FlO
Check this out.
KARA
If it's violent, I don't want to.
FLO
No, not violent, just look.
Kara looks over at the screen.
KARA
Yeah, cop cars and an ambulance.
FLO
Remember when I said who was on security?
Flo points to the guy, ROLAND.
KARA
I've seen him before.
FLO
Yeah, well, look at the stretcher.
Kara looks over for awhile and shrugs.
KARA
It's all covered.
FLO
Not that, look at the guy next to the stretcher.
Kara looks and it looks exactly like Roland.
KARA
Does he have a twin?
FLO
Kara, that boy is an only child. Something screwy is going on. Knew I should have called in sick.
Haley walks past the two and to Link's office.
EXT. LINK'S OFFICE - dAY
Haley opens the door and at Patient A.
HALEY
Sir, I have your room ready.
He nods and follows her.
INT. OUTSIDE HOSPITAL - DAY
Officer Ryan and Link are speaking while next to the door.
LINK
These people inside aren't the type to hold in their emotions Officer, they also take an interest in snooping around. Now can you please just let me know?
RYAN
Why would I do that if they're that unstable?
LINK
This is going to get really annoying for me later on.
RYAN
Why don't you just go back inside and let us work?
LINK
Seriously?
Bob walks outside and stands behind Link. Link notices and nods confidently.
I'll have you know that I am one of the single most-
Bob snaps Link's neck right in front of Ryan. Link drops dead while the two don't even look worried.
RYAN
What's it like inside? Is it safe to speak?
BOB
The cameras in here are video only. We can speak freely.
Ryan
Good, so did you see him at all?
BOB
No, target must have changed form.
RYAN
I was afraid of that, our past attempt to contain came along with failure.
Both look at the body of Link. Ryan looks at Bob. Bob shrugs and morphs into Link.
RYAN (CONT'D)
He spoke too much
LINK
Agreed, so what is the plan?
INT. ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICE - dAY
Flo and Kara have been watching the entire time and are in awe.
FLO
What the hell kind of medication am I on?
Kara
I'm seeing it too.
FLO
Well what kind of medication are you on?
Kara
I don't know, I never take it.
FLO
We need medication.
Kara
We need to tell Haley.
FLO
We need a lot of medication.
KarA
No we don't.
Flo
Than you need it and I'm gonna move far the hell away.
KARA
She can do something.
FLO
Hell no, I saw this movie and the black girl dies.
KarA
So we do nothing?
FLO
That's what's gonna happen anyway. You think Haley is going to listen to you?
KARA
She's my best friend.
FLO
She also, like most of the people here, treat you like you're below them. You should be a nurse here, you know it, and where are you?
No answer from Kara.
Exactly, you're a secretary working under me. I didn't even go to college sweetheart. So if you think they'll trust you, bad idea.
The door opens up and Link enters.
LINK
(Announcing)
Ladies and gentlemen, there's been an attack of some sort outside. I ask right now that everyone stay indoors until everything is taken care of. Thank you.
Flo and Kara look at each other. Kara stays quiet as a man walks over.
FLO
Just keep working, you saw nothing.
She nods as she looks at the young man.
KARA
Do you have an appointment.
The young man tries to speak, but cannot. He motions for pen and paper. Kara hands him that and he writes down a note. Kara reads it.
Note
Malfunction. My speaker is having a software-related conflict with this hardware. My name is STU and I am looking for a Time Lord named Kaval. We must hurry before the Zygons get to him. You appear to be human and your IQ is actually at an astonishing level. So could you please assist me?
Kara finishes reading the note and looks at him.
KARA
I can see if the doctor can see you, but you need an appointment.
The young man's eyes turn into TV static. Kara's eyes get wide as the eyes change back.
Okay, why don't I see if the nurse can...
LINK
There a problem here?
Link walks over to the desk. STU looks at Link and scans him to reveal (to him) that he is a Zygon. STU places a hand on Link's shoulder and electrifies him. Link goes down and changes into his true form: a solidly built humanoid with a large, cone-shaped head. The head, arms and torsos are covered in suckers, and a deeply inset face. Everyone sees the now dying Zygon and all scream.
StU
Malfunction rectified.
FLO
Oh my GOD! What the hell is that thing?
STU
A Zygon.
KARA
Not what she meant. Where did it come from?
STU
That is irrelevant. I need to find Kaval. He can fix everything with one call to the Shadow Proclamation. We must hurry, more Zygons are coming.
Flo
All this screaming? I'll bet they are.
STU
Actually it is due to the other Zygons currently inside. Careful, they have stingers that can kill with ease.
KARA
We need to find Haley.
Flo
Forget this job, wait, if they could sting then why did they snap that guy's neck?
StU
Either due to the form they chose or due to the need for stealth. I have gotten rid of that need by 65%.
Furniture can be heard breaking as Kara, Flo and STU run down the hall.
InT. PRIVATE ROOM - AFTERNOON
Haley can hear the commotion going on outside as Patient A gets comfortable. John Doe looks out of the door.
HALEY
Sir, please stay in your room.
JOHN DOE
But all the noise isn't sounding very good.
PATIENT A
Definitely not sounding very good.
HalEY
Well I'm sure you are much safer here than there, so I wouldn't be complaining.
Another Patient pokes his head out of the door.
PATIENT B
Nurse, those Zygons are keeping me up.
HALEY
Okay. Now it's Zygons, before it was Daleks and Cyber...something.
PatIENT B
Cybermen, you need to give them what they want and they'll leave.
JOHN DOE
What do they want?
Haley
He's just a crazy old man.
PATIENT B
You haven't seen Time Lords I take it. Way older.
JOHN DOE
What's a Time Lord?
Haley
And now Story Time can begin.
PATIENT B
I was a companion for this Time Lord, Time lords are aliens that go through time and space. They look like us, but they're not. They live way longer, have two hearts and are like Gods. At least that's the short form.
PATIENT A
And the biggest nut in the nut house is: That guy!
PATIENT B
A nut, huh? Just wait until you see them. They're right out there.
Haley takes a breath and leaves the room so that the trio can converse. John Doe looks at the door and back at Patient B.
JOHN DOE
Is she gonna die?
PATIENT B
Most likely.
INT. HELISTEN LOBBY - AFTERNOON
Dozens of Zygons are in the lobby now with the windows all blocked. The Head Zygon looks around as all the humans inside are either dead or being interrogated. Head Zygon looks over at his General.
Head Zygon
General? Have we effectively taken all humans within the floor?
General
We have proof of other humans in the area. At least one of them is neither human nor Zygon.
Quick Shot of Haley looking around
Quick shot of Kara, Flo and STU hiding in an office
Quick shot of John doe and the two patients in their rooms
HEAD ZYGON
Then we must take all that we can, we cannot allow the target to escape our sight again.
GENERAL
Suggestions?
HEAD ZYGON
Simple, kill all humans. If they know where he is, they will tell us.
The rest of the Zygons begin searching everywhere aggressively.
GENERAL
Only reason we failed last time was due to that Time Lord.
The Head Zygon looks at the General and soon looks away as if irritated.
