EXT. STREET CONER - NIGHT
Dark foggy night, a man walks along the side walk. the noise
of trash being blown about starts to grow. the man takes out
a cigarette and tries to light it. His hands shake. The
blowing trash sound grows louder. he looks behind him and is
struck with fear. The blowing grows to a fierce howl before
his screams rip through the night and cease almost as fast
FADE OUT
INT. TARDIS - DAY
THE DOCTOR AMY and RORY stand around the console, THE DOCTOR
occasionally presses/turns/pulls random things.
AMY
(leaning at the
railing)
So where is it we're going again?
DOCTOR 11
(looking up
briefly)
2nd planet of the 4th star in the
constellation Archila, it's a
beautiful place, wonderful in fact,
well I've never been there but
Romana always told me it was
brilliant, and I have been meaning
to go.
RORY
(standing with
hands in pockets)
I'm no astronomer, but I've never
heard of that constellation.
DOCTOR 11
(Looking up the
whole time)
Well it's not a Terran
constellation. you can only see
the 7th star from earth, and only
during certain weeks in Autumn.
RORY
(nodding)
R-right. So it's beautiful?
DOCTOR 11
(eyes on the
console)
Yes, from what I've heard there is
a forest of flowers seven meters
tall that at night...
Scanner beeps
DOCTOR 11
(rushing to the
scanner)
at night they-
That's not right, where is it?
AMY moves next to THE DOCTOR.
AMY
(looking at the
scanner)
Where's what? Is the star missing?
RORY moves next to AMY
DOCTOR 11
(typing on the
type writer)
It should be there, (shaking head)
what? No no the star is right
where she should be, but it's
missing the planet.
AMY
You mean like someone stole it?
DOCTOR 11
I wish, that would be clean, safe,
and traceable. No, there's a ton
of residue. A stolen planet leaves
a trail of residue, this is
concentrated, it was destroyed.
But it can't have.
RORY
Why not?
DOCTOR 11
Because the civilization on that
planet was advanced enough to have
very strong shields around the
atmosphere to protect against
invaders, the only thing strong
enough do this would be an
exploding star, well almost the
only thing. But there is something
else.
AMY
What is it Doctor?
DOCTOR 11
Well, there isn't enough residue,
and that's not the only thing. It
seems that space itself is smaller
here. The planet was not just
destroyed it was displaced, but
the force was so strong it was
destroyed in the process.
Inside of Tardis shakes wildly and all three grab hold of
the consol.
DOCTOR 11
(staring at the
scanner)
Solar flair!
START TITLE SEQUENCE
INT. TARDIS - DAY
The Tardis shakes violently. THE DOCTOR struggles to his
feet, AMY and RORY hold onto each other and the railing. THE
DOCTOR tries to hit as many nobs as he can reach.
DOCTOR 11
(To Rory)
Twist and push the Protration
handles!
Rory twists something, but nothing happens.
AMY
Try the blue stabilizers!
DOCTOR 11
Those don't really work.
AMY
(pushing the blue
stabilizers)
There.
Shaking becomes less and less violent, THE DOCTOR, AMY and
RORY stare around the interior of the Tardis, which is full
of cracks and some wires and tubes hang from the ceiling.
Some dripping opaque liquid, and one "window" has popped
out.
DOCTOR 11
(standing up
brushing himself
off)
Well, that wasn't as bad as I had
feared
RORY
That felt pretty bad.
DOCTOR 11
You would have rather become a
black hole would you? No? I
thought not, so this was a pretty
good landing.
RORY
Thanks to my lovely wife
THE DOCTOR puts his ear to the console.
DOCTOR 11
(to the TARDIS)
What's wrong darling?
AMY and RORY try not to laugh. Rory brushes off some dust
from AMY's jacket. AMY brushes RORY's hand away.
THE DOCTOR pulls out the sonic screwdriver and scans the
Tardis
DOCTOR 11
Oh dear, she's in a state, this is
going to take some time to fix.
Time and me being extremely
clever, good thing I always am.
AMY
(walking up behind
the doctor)
Anything we can do to help?
THE DOCTOR spins around so fast it startles AMY and RORY.
DOCTOR 11
Actually yes, I need from wheat
grass juice, about 3 gallons
should do it.
RORY
Wheat grass juice? You mean that
disgusting green stuff people say
is good for you?
DOCTOR 11
That's the stuff! It doesn't do
anything special for you humans,
just another form of pureed
vitamins but it will help the
Tardis heal faster.
AMY
And where are we supposed to get
that Doctor?
DOCTOR 11
Well, before it shorted out, the
scanner showed that we landed in
the 21st century, so find a juice
bar and buy some juice.
AMY and RORY start towards the doors. AMY turns around.
AMY
Doctor, we have no money.
DOCTOR 11
Oh yes, I forgot.
THE DOCTOR rushes through a side passageway. Returns with a
handful of crumpled bills.
DOCTOR 11
That should be plenty.
AMY
(looking at the
money)
Where did you get this?
DOCTOR 11
From a coat pocket, been there for
years, I don't use money, now
you're wasting time! GO!
THE DOCTOR ushers them to the doors. AMY and RORY walk out,
carefully closing the doors behind them. The Tardis is in a
nearly empty parking lot. AMY and RORY start to walk.
Change camera view on them to is as if it were on the Tardis
door. In the sky are zeppelins, 5 are in full view but there
are more in the distance.
FADE OUT
AMY and RORY walk the sidewalk, the parking lot behind
them. More than half the people walking by wear earpieces in
both ears
RORY
(looking up)
I don't remember the 21st century
having so many zeppelins.
AMY
Maybe we're in the later 21st
century, maybe we're in the 22nd
century, the Doctors been off
before, just act like well, like
it is normal.
They walk by a newsstand.
CU on news headline "President Harriet Jones met with the US
President in Downing: New Cyber Act passed"
AMY stops to look at a large poster on a wall advertising
"Kleatens, you're best stop for summer apparel." A picture
of a very attractive woman is sporting shorts and a colorful
tank top.
AMY
(leaning in for a
better look)
Fashion is still the same.
Woman on the poster moves, putting on sunglasses that
weren't in her hands before.
POSTER WOMAN
You'll look neat in the heat! Only
at KLEATONS.
AMY
(jumping back)
YIKES!
RORY
What was that about acting normal?
AMY
Leave off! I nearly had a heart
attack! (pause) That poster was
pretty high tech though, we must
be in the near future
RORY
Let's just hope the near future
has old fashioned juice bars.
CUT TO
INT. JUICY MOOSE - DAY
Show outside of The Juicy Moose. Cut to inside behind Amy
and Rory at the counter.
AMY
What do you mean you can't accept
our money!
JUICER GIRL
Well, for one thing, it's
counterfeit if it wasn't so
obvious I would call the cops on
you.
AMY
I didn't know it was fake.
JUICER GIRL
Are you on stupid pills or
something!? Look, if you don't
have any real money I'm going to
have to ask you to leave.
AMY
(looking desperate)
please we really need this
JUICER GIRL
I wouldn't give you freebies even
if I was allowed to, now take your
toy money and leave.
AMY takes the money and leaves.
Cut to- empty street corner. The classic Tardis
materialization sound starts and gets louder, the Tardis
appears,
An electric ZAP is heard, the Tardis doors rattle and smoke
comes out followed by the Doctor who's hair is frizzy as it
crackles with static. THE DOCTOR's eyes are wide,
DOCTOR 11
(shaking his whole
body)
brrrrr WOW! What a jolt.
He looks around, but not up. He makes a double take to the
ground by the opposite corner of the street. There is a
small dust devil swirling into the alleyway. Unable to stop
himself THE DOCTOR walks curiously forward till he is but a
few inches from it, it is about the size of a rugby ball.
DOCTOR 11
(almost a whisper)
Well hello there, what do we have
here?
The dust devil turns the corner and then 'climbs up the
wall' THE DOCTOR stands up as it climbs up. It dissipates
just as THE DOCTOR is fully upright. His hair crackles
again.
He shakes himself out of his trance-like-curiosity-state and
goes back into the Tardis.
Cut to- AMY and RORY walking out of the Juicy Moose.
AMY
Now what are we going to do?
RORY
Going to do? What kind of question
is that? We're going to go back to
the Tardis to tell the Doctor our
money doesn't work.
AMY
What if he thinks we were being
lazy?
RORY
Amy! He wont be disappointed in
you! You don't need to impress him,
this isn't a test.
AMY
I guess you're right. (pause) What
if he doesn't let us in without
the juice?
RORY
AMY!
AMY
Jokin! I'm jokin.
View from behind- AMY gives RORY a friendly punch on the arm
and a kiss. They are walking to the parking lot.
Cut to Amy and Rory walking out of the stairway to the top
of the parking garage, the Tardis is not there.
AMY
Um, where's the Tardis?
P.O.V Amy
RORY
What are you asking me for?
Amy and Rory are mugged, before the fade out the noise of a
police whistle is heard
FADE OUT
EXT. LONDON- ALLEY BY THE PARKING GARAGE - DAY
Three thugs are huddled together as police cars drive past.
When no more go by they start to talk.
TOBY
(snickering)
We got away! We're home free!
MORY
Yeah, we mugged a couple carrying a
pocketful of monopoly money big
woop.
TOBY
Hey, we got their rings, these are
worth more than if that money was
real.
WAL
Who can you sell em to? All
companies buying and selling
metals, except for that Torchwood
place, are monitored after Cybrus
was dealt with.
TOBY
Oh, I know people.
WAL
What people!?
TOBY
Look, if I can't sell the rings
I'll just sell the diamonds ok?
There is no monitor on stones.
MORY
You could trade them for something
other than cash.
WAL
But unless we find out how much
the gold is worth we could get
cheated, I say just keep em as
pretty trinkets.
TOBY
Trinkets!? These aren't glass you
know!-
MORY
Did you hear that!?
A sound like rushing wind becomes audible and gets louder.
It's like a tornado. The three thugs turn to face the main
street. Their eyes widen in fear. They run father down the
alleyway. MORY trips and TOBY goes to pull him up, we can no
longer see them but hear their screams OS as WAL's face
shows the deepest fear. The shadows behind him depict the
figures of TOBY and MORY disappearing, more like dissipating.
WAL is backed against the wall as the tornado sound starts
to lessen. There is the sound of metal hitting the ground.
WAL looks at them but doesn't go to pick them up, (the rings
are next to a pair of shoes, a necklace of silver, 5 gold
teeth, 6 coins, keys on a ring, and an earring), he just
slides down the wall into a sitting position, shaking and
whimpering at what he just saw. Foot steps are heard. WAL
looks up still as scared he covers his face with his hands.
Pan to the rings, a tall shadow of a man in a coat fall over
them, from the shadow we can tell his face is thin and his
his hair sticks up. the shadow gets smaller, he is kneeling.
his hand comes into the camera as he picks up everything on
the ground. The man walks away leaving WAL huddled in the
back of the alley.
INT. POLICE STATION - DAY
AMY and RORY sit opposite a police man in a small room. AMY
has a bandage on her head and her face is scraped up. RORY
has badly bruised arms and face.
POLICE MAN 1
(taking notes)
Names?
AMY
Amy Williams
RORY
Rory Williams
POLICE MAN 1
(to Amy)
Maiden name?
AMY
PONG
POLICE MAN 1
Did either of you see your
attackers?
AMY
No
RORY
No
POLICE MAN 1
Can you describe what happened?
AMY
Well, we walked into the parking
lot and we got mugged. Then we
woke up here.
POLICE MAN 1
(grunting)
You were knocked unconscious but
the paramedics proclaimed you
mobile so you were brought
straight here.
Did your attackers say anything?
AMY
(shakes head)
If they did I can't remember
POLICE MAN 1
(to Rory)
And you ?
RORY
Huh? OH, no sir I didn't.
POLICE MAN 1
(Standing up)
Well, it seems this is a case of
wrong place wrong time, you were
mugged for money, but yours is
clearly fake, we have it in a bag.
Is there anything else you two had
with you that is gone now?
AMY
I don't think so
RORY
(looking at Amy's
hand)
Amy! your wedding ring! it's gone!
AMY
So is yours! And my engagement ring
too!
POLICE MAN 1
(taking notes and
muttering)
Missing wedding and engagement
rings. (looking up) Please go out
and wait in the reception room
while I gather release forms.
AMY and RORY walk out into the reception room
RORY
(grabbing Amy)
Amy, we can't try to find the
Doctor till we find our rings.
AMY
Why not? the Doctor could help us
find them.
RORY
More likely to leave without them.
AMY
Without the Doctor we could be
stuck here forever! Are three
rings really more important then
being able to go home?
RORY
We weren't even heading home! How
would we even start to find the
doctor? walk around town looking
for the Tardis?
POLICE MAN GEORGE
(walking up)
May I interject, I heard you
mention The Doctor.
AMY
You know The Doctor?
POLICE MAN GEORGE
If you're here to see him, you
might be waiting a long time, he
left here an hour ago, he's a
regular Sherlock Holmes, he wont be
back for at least an hour, that's
if your lucky.
AMY
Is there anyone else who might
know where he is?
POLICE MAN GEORGE
His wife should, she works in
Canary Warf.
AMY
(dumbstruck)
Wife? He has a wife?
POLICE MAN GEORGE
It's not like it was announced,
but yeah
AMY
What's her name!?
POLICE MAN GEORGE
Rose Tyler
AMY
(taking Rory's arm)
Thanks for your help, come on Rory!
AMY drags RORY outside as POLICE MAN 1 gives RORY the
release forms and bag of 'fake' money.
RORY
Amy what going on?
AMY
Were going to Canary Warf
RORY
(forcing amy to
stop)
How about we just Look for the
Doctor?
AMY
Don't think I don't know what your
trying to do, it's not working,
we're going!
RORY
Maybe The Doctor doesn't want us
to meet her! We should just look
for our rings.
AMY
How? at least what I'm doing could
work!
RORY
What you're doing is intruding on
The Doctor's life, how would you
like it if he did that to
AMY looks smug
RORY
Let's go
COMMERCIAL BREAK
AMY and RORY are walking up the street, not confidently.
RORY
We should have asked where this
Canary Warf is.
AMY
You mean I should have not ran out
so fast, don't be such a worry
wart, there's an entrance to the
underground up ahead, we can look
at a map.
AMY and RORY cross the street to the entrance to the London
Underground. They study the map on the sidewalk. Occasionally
tracing it with their fingers.
AMY
(tapping the sign)
There! Canary Warf. It's not to
far by train.
RORY
We cant buy tickets, our money
doesn't work.
AMY
Oh yeah, we'll have to walk then.
It's not that far of a walk.
AMY walks down into the station
RORY
(calling after AMY)
Where you going? I just said we
can't ride the train!
AMY
maybe maps are free!
Follow AMY as she runs down grabs a map and runs back up
panting a little.
AMY
Wouldn't want to get lost, neither
of us could memorize the way.
DOCTOR 10 walks past them, in the direction they came,
towards the police station with an air of extreme concern
but confidence of where he is going. He is holding a bag of
the previously listed items of the muggers.
RORY
(taking the map
and opening it)
We'd better get going, the longer
we wait, the harder it will be to
find him
EXT. TORCHWOOD TOWER - DAY
Camera view is tilted up from the ground to give the
audience full view of Torchwood Tower's height. The tower is
a huge sky scraper, but there are no signs to signify the
name or purpose of the tower.
AMY
(folding the map)
Here we are.
RORY
You sure this is the place?
AMY
Yes, I'm sure. Also it just feels
right.
AMY walks up to the tinted glass double doors ties to open
them, first by pulling then by pushing. RORY notices an
intercom and points at it.
AMY
Oh, right.
AMY presses the button, releasing her finger after a second.
a voice answers, though it isn't revealed it will be Pete
Tylers voice and referred to as such.
PETE
Welcome to Canary Warf, we don't
give tours, interviews and don't
answer to complaints.
AMY presses the button again
PETE
(irritated)
And no solicitors.
RORY
Well, we tried.
AMY
I'm going to try one more time.
AMy presses the button
PETE
This is your last warning, leave
soon or you will be-
AMY presses and holds the button down
AMY
If I'm correct, he will have to
hear us.
RORY
well, better talk soon, I don't
want to find out what we will be
AMY
Hello? I'm here to speak to Rose
Tyler (releases button).
from now there will be no notification of AMY pressing the
button, but every time she talks she has to press it, and
lets it go for Pete to talk
PETE
She is not here right now, and
even if she was you would not be
let in.
AMY
But she is the only one who can
help us find the Doctor!
PETE
She wouldn't help you.
AMY
But she knows where he is and we
don't! we need to find him, he's
disappeared.
PETE
(a few second
pause before his
answer)
Define, disappeared.
AMY
well, we left him in one place and
when we came back he was gone.
PETE
(longer pause)
Rose will see you now, go to the
receptionist at far left, tell
her 'Harriet lost the Doctor'.
There is buzz and the door disappears.
AMY and RORY walk in to discover a small reception room, the
ceiling about 10 feet up, and nothing on the grey walls or
floor other than a trash can. at the far end, if it can be
considered only being 15 feet back, is a desk where 4
receptionists sit starring at monitors and talking too fast
to comprehend, each have two copper ear pieces that are
making a rapid beeping noise in since to the blue flashing
lights on the devices. the left receptionists face turns up
like a waking robot and turns to face AMY and RORY
RECEPTIONIST
(monotone and
nearly
unblinkingly)
This desk is open, please
approach.
AMY and RORY walk up to her, her ear pieces turn off
RECEPTIONIST
(same as before)
How may I help you?
RORY
Uh, well Harriet lost The Doctor?
THE RECEPTIONIST's ear pieces turn back on, her face doesn't
react or turn as she types on a flat surface. They turn off
again when she starts to speak.
RECEPTIONIST
Enter the lift, it will take you
to your destination. (Pause, ear
pieces beeping then stop)
Torchwood Tower has been happy to
service your dilemma, complaints on
policy will not be considered.
THE RECEPTIONIST returns to typing, the ear pieces turn on.
RORY
Where is the lift?
THE RECEPTIONIST doesn't respond at all. A few seconds later
a door slides open in the wall, wide enough for just one
person to enter at a time.
RORY
I'll enter first
But too late, AMY is already there and steps through. RORY
rushes in after her and fails to catch himself as the
elevator seems to drop off into a huge room full of alien
stuff, he bashes into the window that was so clean he hadn't
noticed it, this makes a very loud noise and all the workers
in the room look up and seem to laugh, like this happens
every time and it is entertainment. RORY slumps to the floor
of the lift.
RORY
Ow
AMY helps RORY up
AMY
(giggling)
You really need to be more
careful!
RORY
Me!? what about you?
Lift door closes and immediately starts to go up, the room
disappears as the lift goes to a new level
AMY
I'm not the one who ran into the
window!
the noise of the lift intensifies like it is going faster
though AMY and RORY don't seem to register this. the door
open
COMP
LEVEL 43 SUPERVISORY DIRECTORS.
YOU ARE ONCE AGAIN NOTIFIED THAT
COMPAINTS ARE NEVER TAKEN INTO
CONSIDERATION, ALSO INFORMING
AUTHORITIES WILL BE MET WITH THE
SAME RESULT. PLEASE LEAVE THE LIFT
NOW.
AMY
That was quick! We were just on
level 1!
RORY
This place is weird.
COMP
PLEASE LEAVE THE LIFT NOW
AMY and RORY leave the lift hastily and the doors shut as
quick as a guillotine. as they look around they see an older
man, bald head but for the grey on the sides, he wears no
ear pieces
PETE
You must be Amy and Rory.
AMY and Rory nod dumbly
PETE
Wonderful, follow me.
AMY and RORY follow PETE down a long hallway painted in
different shades of grey with doors at random intervals,
like the rooms are many different sizes, even the height of
the doors are different. one door reads SONIC DEVELOPMENT
SURPERVISORS. AMY slows, checking PETE isn't looking and
reaches for the door knob, but stops. There is no door knob.
PETE
(smiling)
all rooms are off limits to
everyone but to who it is
assigned, myself and the Head
Supervisor/Director. If you
touched that door you would have
gotten 10000 volts running through
you.
AMY
why? what does Torchwood do?
PETE
(confused)
you don't know?
AMY and RORY shake their heads
RORY
Should we?
PETE
you came here to meet the Head
Supervisor/Director and you don't
even know what goes on here?
they stop walking
AMY
We came to find the Doctor
PETE
that makes it more strange
AMY
can we keep moving?
PETE
what? oh yes yes, Rose should be
able to clear things up
they begin to walk again
eventually they reach the end of the hallway. at the end are
ornate double doors whose bronze door handles and wooden
carvings that clash oddly with the grey corridor. PETE walks
up to the door and takes hold of a handle, which glows and
makes a strange beep. PETE pushes the door open. (ROOM TO BE
DESCRIBED) Rose sits at a desk in the corner, she is
studying what looks like a glass trinket with circuitry
laced through it
ROSE
(looking up)
are these the people who say they
lost my husband?
PETE
they are,
ROSE
My husband is on assignment in
America, but that is public
knowledge. Why didn't you just call?
AMY
what do you mean?
ROSE
don't play dumb, the president is
having trouble with my husband,
she always calls me to deal with
it, but this time she sent you
two, why?
AMY
I have no idea what you are
talking about, we don't know the
president, we've never even been
to America. we only came here
ROSE
(cutting off AMY)
If you're not here about the
president, what are you here for?
AMY
(exasperated)
as I was about to say, we came
here because we thought the best
person to find the Doctor would be
his wife.
ROSE
what happened, tell me exactly
RORY
well, we left The TARDIS to get
wheat grass juice, our money didn't
work so we went back, and it was
gone, so was the Doctor
ROSE stares with shock, unblinkingly, at RORY and AMY, mouth
open.
ROSE
The TARDIS? did you just say the
TARDIS?
RORY nods. Rose puts her elbows on her desk and her hands
run through her hair
ROSE
(very quietly)
he came back, I cant believe it
ROSE presses her hand on her table, it is scanned and the
desk lights up with LED with different colored and shaped
buttons. ROSE presses one
ROSE
Martin this is Rose, I want you to
check all city surveillance for a
blue police box
MARTIN
a blue police box? ma'am we are in
the middle of something, strange
technology sighted at JFK airport.
ROSE
This is top priority, do it now
MARTIN
ok, I'll get Janice on it
ROSE
you will get everyone on it mister
do you hear me!? (pause) wait no,
use half your people, including
you! notify me immediately when you
find it
ROSE presses another button before MARTIN can reply. She
pats the desk top and it turns off, looking like a normal
metal desk again
ROSE
so why is he back?
AMY
why is who back?
ROSE
The Doctor of course, he has to
have a reason, he told me he'd
never come back
AMY
I thought the Doctor was your
husband
ROSE
(chuckling)
of course, of course. he didn't
tell you guys about me. my husband
is not the real Doctor, more of a
copy, a half human copy. your
Doctor left me with him here
AMY
and you married(?)
ROSE
yeah, why? are you jealous?
AMY
(sincere)
Jealous? why should I be
RORY
(changing the
subject)
did you say half human? a half
human copy, does he look
different?
ROSE
I don't think so, I expect he'll
look older though I haven't
noticed.
ROSE turns around a picture frame on her desk around. AMY
and RORY stare at it, disappointment on their faces
AMY
that doesn't look like the doctor
ROSE
I guess he could have r-
RORY
(cutting off ROSE)
wait a sec, that's the guy who
passed us by the train station!
AMY
your right, (to ROSE) this isn't
our Doctor
ROSE
He probably regenerated, he can do
that, change his whole body.
AMY
(realization)
that's what was wrong with him
when I was seven, he kept saying
his new body wasnt done yet.
ROSE
when you were seven?
AMY
long story, takes too long to
explain
ROSE
ok then, you say he passed you by
the train station? which way was
he going?
AMY
I guess the way we had come
ROSE
which is from where?
RORY
we came from the police station,
their the ones who told us where
to find you
ROSE
DAMN him, I should have known.
he's been working with them.
RORY
he shouldnt be?
ROSE
My Doctor cant regenerate, so if
he goes off investigating
dangerous things he could die, we
agreed he would just be a
consultant in possible alien
problems. he told me he would go
work for the president you know
how he likes to interfere with
government. I should have known he
couldnt resist investigating behind
my back. he even had the president
call me, she's in on it!
INT. POLICE STAITION - DAY
Doctor 10 walks up to the police station and goes in. He is
greeted by almost everyone who is there (they know him very
well). Police man 1 come sup to him. they go through a door
into a hallway. they turn into an office with placard reading
'John Smith -Special Investigator' nailed to it
POLICE MAN 1
(rhetorical)
it happened again?
DOCTOR 10
two men, I have their things
Doctor 10 reaches into his pockets and deposits the
contents
DOCTOR 10
again, all things metal and
plastic. whatever it is consumes
all biological matter.
POLICE MAN 1
then why do the clothes go too?
DOCTOR 10
cotton is a plant product, so is
wool. most string material is. the
odd thing is there were three men,
one was spared. He ran but I could
recognize him. I'm going to type
up a report then head out to find
the survivor.
POLICE MAN 1
before you do I should tell you
that two people were in here today
that were looking for you
DOCTOR 10
You told me that if that started
again you would jail people. Why
did you let them in?
POLICE MAN 1
well, they didn't come in looking
for you. They were found
unconscious, mugged. After the
paramedics patched them up they
were sent here to be questioned.
that's when they asked for you.
DOCTOR 10
could have staged that mugging you
know.
POLICE MAN 1
no, they were pretty beat up. They
didn't seem like the kind of
people who would self inflict
wounds that bad. plus they
reported stolen items, two wedding
rings and an engagement ring
Doctor 10 fingers the three rings from the pile of stuff
DOCTOR 10
what did you do with them?
POLICE MAN 1
they didn't ask for you directly,
George overheard them talking
about finding you.
DOCTOR 10
(impatiant)
And what did he do?
POLICE MAN 1
well.. he...
DOCTOR 10
(elongated)
yeeeees?
POLICE MAN 1
told them to go to Canary Warf
DOCTOR 10
(enraged)
WHAT!? Torchwood!? George sent
them to Torchwood!? what was he
thinking!?
POLICE MAN 1
I doubt he was thinking anything
Doctor
DOCTOR 10
(gives the
policeman a look)
I have to catch up to them before
they get there!
Doctor 10 heads out his door. His Phone rings. Doctor 10
stops dead. He walks back to his desk and picks up the phone
DOCTOR 10
(knowing it is
ROSE)
hello?
INT. TORCHWOOD AND POLICE STATION - DAY
the camera switches view to whoever is talking
ROSE
Doctor you know it's me. I was
calling because Harriet Jones was
wondering where you are.
DOCTOR 10
if she was wondering then she must
know where I am now
ROSE
you know I meant IS
DOCTOR 10
yeah, yeah. I'm um, I'm... In
Downing Street, helped get the New
Cyber Act passed.
ROSE
Thanks for lying, I know you're at
the police station and we'll talk
about that later. You need to come
here now, The Doctor's back.
DOCTOR 10
he's back? you're sure? I'll be
right there.
POLICE MAN 1
who's back?
DOCTOR 10
The Doctor
POLICE MAN 1
Doctor Who?
DOCTOR 10
It's just The Doctor
POLICE MAN 1
(very confused)
I thought you were the Doctor!
Doctor 10 walks out his office. he gathers speed at he heads
out. Police man 1 follows.
Cut to Doctor 10 and Police Man 1 running up to Torchwood
Tower the doors open automatically for him. Inside the
reception room the lift opens up. DOCTOR 10 trots in. Police
Man 1 is stopped by The Receptionist.
Cut To DOCTOR 11, sonic screwdriver in hand a glass jar in
the other. He is walking by Big Ben. He is following the
dust devil. they head towards Big Ben. Big Ben strikes
(hour doesn't matter) the dust devil dissipates instantly and
falls to the ground as a pile of dust. DOCTOR 11 scans it
with his screwdriver and the pile starts to swirl again, not
the part he is scanning. DOCTOR 11 hurriedly scoops as much
as he can into the jar. He accidentally touches the swirling
part. Clock strikes again and the dust falls
DOCTOR 11
(whipping his hand
away)
YEOUCH!
CUT to his hand. Just above the knuckles to about an inch
below (scattered between life-line and third joint) covered
in red dots that start to bleed. Clock stops striking. Dust
swirls first in the direction of the wind, then towards the
Doctor who has just finished sealing the jar with the sonic.
He whips around and turns the sonic on high. Some of the
closest dust falls, the rest just sways in the air. The
Doctor turns off the sonic, they start to come at him again.
He turns it back on, changing settings. after a few tries
the sonic makes an eerie noise. The Dust sways more slowly,
like a snake being charmed. The Dust farther away is not
effected and start to move faster creating a static sound
that snaps the hypnotized Dust back. DOCTOR 11 runs, back
the way he came.
Cut to DOCTOR 10 in a police car and pulling up to
Torchwood Tower. He is in the driver's seat, POLICE MAN 1 is
breathing hard.
POLICE MAN 1
Sir, you sped the whole way!
DOCTOR 10
(getting out of
the car)
so give me a ticket, here (tossing
POLICE MAN 1 the keys) drive her
back, I won't need to.
POLICE MAN 1
I'm not coming with you?
DOCTOR 10
Nope
POLICE MAN 1 grumbles as he switches seats and drives off.
DOCTOR 10 runs up to the entrance which disappeared just
before he steps through.
Cut To Rose's office PETE is not there anymore
ROSE
So the Tardis explodes and rips
the universe apart and the Doctor
had to fly a prison box into the
explosion? how did he live?
AMY
I don't really understand that
part. He ceased to exist until I
remembered him. that's all I know.
It probably makes perfect sense to
him
ROSE
It always does
in the left corner of the wall behind rose, a panel the size
of a door extends and moves aside, revealing DOCTOR 10.
DOCTOR 10 steps out, still carrying the bag of stuff
collected from the dust attack.
DOCTOR 10
(looking around)
So are these the companions? I
always had a way of picking up
pretty girls didn't I?
RORY
What did you just say?
ROSE
(blushing)
What's in the bag? something for
the President?
DOCTOR 10
(dumps stuff on
the desk)
stuff I found, two people
disappeared, this was left
AMY and RORY's rings clink on the desk. DOCTOR 10 picks them
up
DOCTOR 10
this stuff could be anyone's, but
these rings, I don't think they
bought them, stole them more like.
the pieces of clothes that
survived are huge, no way their
fingers were so skinny
AMY
(going up to
DOCTOR 10)
OH my god! (swiping them from
DOCTOR 10 and going back to RORY)
look!
DOCTOR 10
HEY! You can't take those! they're
stolen goods!
AMY and RORY put their rings back on. RORY puts AMY's on for
her and visa versa. ROSE and DOCTOR 10 stare.
AMY
(While the above
direction above
is happening)
Yeah, stolen from us!
ROSE
Are you two married?
RORY
Yep, The Doctor was taking us on a
honeymoon. we still haven't gotten
to any of the destinations he's
talked about
ROSE
(glancing to AMY)
I just assumed you
AMY
fell for the Doctor? Are you nuts?
I mean, he's ben my best friend
since I was seven.
RORY
I still find that weird. We all
thought she was nuts, that he was
imaginary. she made me dress up as
him!
DOCTOR 10, ROSE, and AMY snicker.
RORY
It wasnt that funny!
AMY hugs him affectionately
AMY
Yeah it was.
a light appears on ROSE's desk, Beeping. ROSE presses her
hand on the desk and it turns on again
MARTIN
We found it ma'am security cam PS
AA2
ROSE
give me a visual
The wall behind ROSE becomes glossy and becomes a video link
to the security camera. The Tardis off the side, and a bit
blurry
ROSE
center it please and zoom in
The camera view shifts and zooms. the Tardis becomes clear
AMY
(pointing)
That's it!
ROSE
It looks different, bigger, newer,
brighter.
DOCTOR 10
(shrugging)
The Tardis changes its appearance
when damaged, the rooms move
around as well, but the outside
has not changed so drastically
before, it always looked old
RORY
shouldn't we go?
DOCTOR 10
Right! we should, the Tardis can
scan these items, see what came
into contact with them.
ROSE
we can take a car, I don't want
people to see us walking
AMY
what are we waiting for!?
AMY starts to walk to the door. ROSE and DOCTOR 10 walk to
the opening in the wall
RORY
AMY I think the car is that way
INT. WELL, UM LOTS OF PLACES, STARTS IN A GARAGE - DAY
in short they end up in a garage will hundreds of cars, all
look basically the same, silver compacts, but the license
plates are different. with alternation between number and
letter. 4 numbers four letters. ROSE's is 0A1B2A3C. the next
car is 4A5D6A7E. They get into ROSE's and drive out. they
drive up to another level, filled with normal cars of all
makes and colors. The Torchwood cars are beneath a real
parking garage but on a staff only level with a locked
entrance.
Cut To the car pulling up to the Tardis. ROSE pushes a
button on the dashboard.
ROSE
All Torchwood cars have perception
filters in them, stops people from
breaking into them. because that
used to happen a lot and then there
were people driving cars with
alien tech in them, bad things
happened
They get out of the car, and go up to the Tardis. AMY
knocks. no answer. ROSE and DOCTOR 10 just stare in longing
at it
AMY
Doctor? are you in there?
no answer. AMY tries the door. nothing
AMY
I don't have a key!
ever since she got out of the car, a spot on ROSE's chest
has been glowing, a chain is around her neck, but whatever
is on it was tucked in her shirt. She just notices now and
hurriedly pulls out her key which changes shape in her hand.
ROSE
(ripping it from
the chain)
I never thought I would get to use
this again
DOCTOR 10
Never in a million years, I wonder
if it still looks the same!
Tardis door clicks and ROSE opens the door slowly,
dramatically, as she and Doctor 10 look in, the light
shining on their faces
ROSE
Oh my, I can't believe it.
DOCTOR 10
(smiling, rushing
in)
it's so beautiful!
Follow DOCTOR 10 into the Tardis, followed by ROSE then AMY
and RORY.
DOCTOR 10
WOW, does this look different
(looks around then to AMY and
RORY) a good different, definitely
a good different.
DOCTOR 10 explore in this order, all dialog takes place
while it happens : the console, every button, the railing, up
to the second floor door, down the stairs under the console.
ROSE wanders slower, up to the console and around back to
stand next to AMY and RORY
DOCTOR 10
(admiringly)
It's sleek, neat and tidy, I was
starting to get tired of the coral
formation. it is very shiny and
colorful. OH the buttons changed,
well not all of them. the zig zag
plotter is still here (pulls the
zig zag plotter which activates a
noise) ok bad idea. oh a new
helmick ragulator! and the blue
buttons changed position!
RORY
you mean the blue stabilizers?
DOCTOR 10
the what?
RORY
they stabilize the Tardis in rough
landings
DOCTOR 10
really? would've liked to have
known that 700 years ago eh Rose?
ROSE
yeah, would have saved us a lot of
bruises. how did you know those
were stabilizers?
RORY
River Song, Right Amy?
AMY nods
DOCTOR 10
you met River? That's - oh look! a
downstairs!
goes down stairs to the under console, touching it and
tapping it
DOCTOR 10
this is brilliant, no more opening
the heavy metal hatch, that was
always a pain, now you can just
stand right near the problem,
easy! I'm going to go check out
rooms, you want to come Rose?
DOCTOR 10
oh look, the doors changed, I'm
going to go check out the rooms!
ROSE
I think I will just stay here
DOCTOR 10
suit yourself (runs up to the
second floor door)
AMY
Uh, Um, Doctor? that is our room.
DOCTOR 10
what's that?
AMY
(pointing at
herself and Rory)
Mine and Rory's
DOCTOR 10
Oh! oh. yes, I'll check out a
different room then (walks down to
console level and through a
passage way)
ROSE
It has changed quite abit, it is
quite roomy.
ROSE delicately touches the console, like stroking an old
home that you sold but is now abandoned. moves to look over
the railing, and walks back to AMY and RORY.
ROSE
(nostalgically)
It's amazing, isn't it?
AMY
what?
ROSE
Traveling, with him. The Doctor. I
know you think so. Best feeling in
the world right? I thought it was
never going to end
AMY
I don't want it to, but I know it
will, I mean, me and Rory, we plan
to start a family.
RORY
(grumpily)
sometimes I can't wait for it to
end
ROSE
you sound like Mickey!
The Tardis door opens suddenly as DOCTOR 11 runs in,
clutching his bleeding hand and the blood covered jar. he
walks right up to the console then sits down. there is an
awkward silence.
DOCTOR 11
Amy you're back good. Nurse Boy, I
need bandages, their in the
external left panel, Amy I need
you to put this jar top down in
the port by the, thingy, you know.
it will fit, make sure the
contents drain completely.
Rory gets the bandages and AMY takes the Jar, trying and
failing to avoid getting blood on her hands.
DOCTOR 11
Rose, prep the scanner for Bio
life, microscopic setting 56,
sentient
ROSE startled by DOCTOR 11's calm reaction to seeing her
does not go to the scanner, she studies the DOCTOR's new
appearance with distaste , RORY applies sterilizing alcohol
to DOCTOR 11's hand, DOCTOR 11 winces
DOCTOR 11
You guys won't believe this I
found this Dust stuff, it seems it
eats things, living things, I
followed it up to Big Ben and when
the clock struck it fainted, ROSE!
why arent you setting the scanner?
I thought I just told you-
pauses, looks at Rose, and rubs his eyes with his good hand,
looks again, so confused it is silly
DOCTOR 11
Am I seeing things?, Did the Dust
go through my skull? Amy, do you
see her? Rory? I'm not going mad
right?
ROSE
(tearing up)
Doctor? is that you?
DOCTOR 11
Not if you're not Rose
ROSE
(smiling)
You're definitely mad, as mad as
you ever were
ROSE runs "up" to DOCTOR 11, (Rory was in the middle of
bandaging his hand, but steps back), and they embrace,
Doctor 11 pats ROSE on the back then screams
DOCTOR 11
Wrong hand! Damn, bloody hand!
as the DOCTOR 11's hand is in mid swing, RORY seizes it and
starts to clean it again, and will bandage it after DOCTOR
11 and ROSE let go of each other
ROSE
(chuckling and
crying)
I missed you, so much
DOCTOR 11
I missed you too.
They let go. ROSE takes DOCTOR 11's good hand in both of
hers
ROSE
(wiping eyes on
sleeve)
You've changed again I noticed
DOCTOR 11
you havent, not a day older
ROSE
I know when your lying, it's been
5 years!
DOCTOR 11
It cant be! you're only 3 months
ahead!
ROSE
any you have a time machine, or
did you forget that?
RORY
Doctor, did you see this wound? it
is really strange.
DOCTOR 11
how so Rory?
RORY takes DOCTOR 11's wounded hand's wrist and held it palm
down. blood dripped down, from the palm, not blood pooled on
top to drip down. then RORY turned it palm up. the back of
DOCTOR11's hand bled but no blood pooled on his palm, in
fact the bleeding stopped there. turning his hand vertical,
it bled from both sides.
DOCTOR 11
incredible, absolutely incredible.
I think I know why. Help me to the
scanner!
RORY and ROSE take DOCTOR 11 by the armpits and lift him, he
staggers to the scanner. ROSE, RORY and AMY gather behind
him. Using one hand DOCTOR 11 sets the scanner and activates
it. a light shines on his hand and an images starts to
render on the screen. but before it fully forms a splash is
heard and everyone in the console room looks up. wet
footsteps are heard
DOCTOR 11
You didn't come alone, did you
Rose?
ROSE
oh yeah, I was going to tell you
Soaking wet, DOCTOR 10 staggers in
DOCTOR 10
The pool is not in the same place
DOCTOR 10 stops talking, stares at DOCTOR 11, who is
staring. AMY RORY and ROSE also stare at DOCTOR 10. DOCTOR
10 walks up to DOCTOR 11, right up to his face.
DOCTOR 10
when did he get here? why did no
one tell me?
DOCTOR 11
(breathing hard)
That was a nice entrance, I can't
believe I was that rude.
DOCTOR 11 faints from blood loss. RORY will start to bandage
his hand up, and prop him up on the console
DOCTOR 10
This regeneration looks wimpy,
DOCTOR 11 jerks into consciousness
DOCTOR 11
(laughing)
woah! lost it there for a sec. I
need you to be more aware Rory,
why did you stop bandaging.
never mind, just remember next
time. hello Rose, I see you and
and um, what are you called?
DOCTOR 10
kept it The Doctor, nothing else
worked.
DOCTOR 11
I'm not calling you that! it will
get too confusing, how about John
Smith? good ol standby
AMY
Since when?
DOCTOR 11
since always, I've use it all the
time
AMY
No you haven't!
DOCTOR 11
sure I have, that one time, with
the thing
RORY
no you didn't.
DOCTOR 11
well I used too. all the time.
DOCTOR 10
I'm not going by John Smith
DOCTOR 11
You have a different name in mind
then? no? I thought not. So! Rose
I see you and John have been doing
fine! got married, any kids?
awkward silence
DOCTOR 11
guess not, how's Jackie and Pete?
ROSE
Their doing fine, have two kids
now, Jason and Nattily. weren't we
just scanning your hand?
AMY looks back at the scanner, confused. RORY looks and
shows surprise
RORY
Doctor! what did you do to your
hand!
DOCTOR 10
I didn't do any- oh
DOCTOR 11
some Dust thing touched it, let me
see, what's so weird
RORY
there are hundreds of small holes
running straight through your
hand, completely straight. passed
through veins, arteries and bone,
and anything else you might have
that we humans don't
Cut To scanner. CGI image of Hand in blue grid. lines go
through. noise made as image is zoomed, the lines become
tunnels, straight and true. the tunnels have different
entrance points and exit points but all are straight and all
go through
DOCTOR 11
This explains why I would bleed
down, the blood went with gravity.
if I just cut my palm it would
bleed out, but since it goes
through it bled down, whichever
way that happened to be. I think
the Dust, whatever it is went
right through my hand, eating what
it touched, leaving perfect
tunnels in my hand. I wonder what
would have happened if it caught up
to me?
AMY
I don't want to think about it
DOCTOR 10
you would be gone, no trace.
happened to the muggers. the Dust
consumes everything, every part of
you it touches is dissolved into
it, I have the items they didn't
eat
Tosses the bag of stuff, now wet. on the console
DOCTOR 11
only metals, glass and plastics.
Why did you bring this stuff here?
DOCTOR 10
I was going to see if the Tardis
could tell me what touched it.
ROSE
completely pointless now, we got a
jar of the stuff
DOCTOR 11
not completely pointless, I want
to scan the stuff anyway. hand me
something metal and something
plastic
DOCTOR 10 pulls out a credit card, DOCTOR 11 takes it but
just looks at it.
DOCTOR 11
there are holes in this too, but I
don't think anything was consumed,
it was like they punched though
rather than ate. now a metal
object
DOCTOR 11 takes a gold tooth and places it on the scanner.
paper prints this time, no image on the screen. AMY snatches
it and reads
AMY
nothing, not even a scratch. it
hasn't been touched
DOCTOR 11
(smiling)
I thought so. The Dust 'fainted'
when Big Ben struck, and again
when I soniced it.
DOCTOR 10
(excited)
metallic or electronic sounds must
effect it. it cant push through
the metal and if it touched I
would set of a noise that would
paralyze itself. I bet it is the
same with glass.
DOCTOR 11
(practically
jumping)
but with electronic noise, it
seems to fall into hypnosis. it
followed the screwdriver like a
snake to a flute
ROSE goes to the scanner and starts to work with it
DOCTOR 10
So we know what it is, and how to
hurt it, now all we need to know
is where it came from
RORY
does that matter?
DOCTOR 10
of course it does! knowing where
it came from will help me to find
out why!
ROSE
The Dust came from your universe,
I mean mine, I mean the one we
came from. It somehow got itself
over here, days ago, according to
this
DOCTOR 10
How did you get here? I thought it
wasn't possible.
AMY
Really? I'm mean it wasnt a smooth
ride but it was quick, a massive
solar flair hit
DOCTOR 11
(slaps self)
THAT'S IT! The solar flair!
runs to the opposite side of the console and fiddles
DOCTOR 11
I'm going to bring up the records
from when he were in orbit around
that sun... AH! that solar flair
wasnt natural, well it was, but it
had been altered. the records show
it was going around the sun when
we entered its orbit, something
about it flung us here, I think it
flung the Dust, and the missing
planet, but the planet didn't make
it
sounds of fizzing and popping ensue
DOCTOR 11
drat! still not functional! it
didn't get any data on the make up
of the flair. Didn't I send you
out to get juice?
AMY
The money didn't work, clearly it
doesn't cross dimensions
DOCTOR 11
Oh. well the Tardis still needs
the juice, we need to get money
ROSE
we've got plenty of money, but the
main problem is the Dust, it's
eating people. if not to be
hostile then as prey. it needs to
be stopped, Doctor, you have to
help us
The jar starts to wobble, and falls of the console, AMY
dives for it, catching it just in time
DOCTOR 11
(taking the Jar
from AMY)
that was close!
AMY
WOW, look at that!
Everyone looks at the jar. CU on jar. The Dust is in a mini
twister. DOCTOR 11 shakes the jar, the dust falls to the
bottom
DOCTOR 10
What are you doing!?
DOCTOR 11
just a thought
CU on Jar. the Dust formed a pile, the top starts to swirl,
gathering in more dust and getting bigger this way
DOCTOR 11
Like sharks
ROSE
WHAT?
DOCTOR 11
The Dust didn't stay at the bottom,
it formed a twister again, when I
used the sonic it hung like a
cloud, and swayed in the wind. But
there is no wind in the jar, it
made it's own.
DOCTOR 10
Is this important?
DOCTOR 11
I have no idea
DOCTOR 10
But it might be!
DOCTOR 11
exactly. Oh and we need to put the
jar in a place it cant break
RORY
Maybe we should put it in the
pool, I bet it cant survive in
water
DOCTOR 11
(astonished)
RORY! I want to store it not kill
it! This stuff is sentient, I'm
sure it is. Which means we can
talk to it, but if we kill the
Dust we have that might not be an
option
RORY
so we're keeping it hostage?
DOCTOR 11
NO! I'm keeping peaceful options
open! but you do make a point it
works as a hostage too. not that I
like that, I don't like hostage
situations.
AMY
we cant talk to what we have?
DOCTOR 11
I don't think so. it is a part of
the whole being, too small a part
to think.
AMY RORY and ROSE look confused
DOCTOR 10
Like it doesn't have enough memory
space to form thoughts, not enough
Dust.
DOCTOR 11
precisely, not enough particles
here, but I bet the stuff chasing
me did
ROSE
Did you lose it?
DOCTOR 11
what?
ROSE
The Dust that chased you did you
lose it? did it stop following
you?
silence. DOCTOR 11 runs to the doors and looks out. Doctor
11 whips around, arms out palms on the door
RORY
(distressed)
It's out there isn't it
DOCTOR 11
No, it's not. It's not out there
DOCTOR 10 joins DOCTOR 11 and looks out. Dramatic music
starts
AMY
You can't seriously think we
believe that, that is the most
pathetic lie you-
DOCTOR 10
He's not lying
ROSE
don't you start!
DOCTOR 10
He's not. It isn't out there,
we're in it
Shocked expressions on ROSE, RORY, and AMY. Dramatic music
increases in volume
Cut To the outside of the Tardis. The Tardis is in the
middle of a tornado, not being thrown about but high off
the ground. Zoom Out till the view is out of the Twister.
The Twister is tall, above the surrounding buildings, and
thin. Dramatic music at climax.
CUT TO COMMERCIAL
EXT. LONDON - DAY
The Twister swirls. It does not go anywhere. Cut To the
base, the people near it either get sucked in or dust
shoots out and consumes them and rushes back into the whole.
people run screaming.
Cut to Pete in Torchwood Tower, Pete is in ROSE's office.
Alarms blare, the desk an wall screen are on. the wall
screen is split into four views, each on the Twister. Pete
slides a symbol on the desk, words appear "speakers
activated"
Cut to the streets. panic is rampant. Speakers come out of
street lights, lamp posts, fire hydrants and trash bins.
Pete's voice is heard
PETE
Attention we are facing an active
alien threat. Do not engage.
Suggested action: flee, do not
seek shelter, zeppelins will not
land, alien is mobile in the air
[repeat from suggested]
Cut back to office. Pete turns from the desk to face Rina,
an intern. [description: she is an attractive secretary,
imagine her how you will, I imagine her older than 30] Rina
holds a touch pad
RINA
(looking up from
her pad)
The alien has not moved from the
side street, but people near it
were lost
PETE
I'm going to call Rose, she might
know something (taps ear piece) I
need a squad to look for the
Tardis
RINA
what's a Tardis?
PETE
a vehicle, looks like a blue box,
Rose will most likely be in it.
Damn! no connection!
RINA
(staring at wall
screen)
Mr. Tyler, you said a blue box?
PETE
yeah
Rina points at the screens. Pete turns around. Rina goes up
to the desk and touches a few symbols. the top corner view
expands over the rest. flashes of something blue and
rectangular in the Twister. screen zooms in, it is clearly a
blue box
PETE
oh of course! brilliant. (To Rina)
boost my signal!
RINA
Yes
Cut to Inside the Tardis
RORY
We're in the Dust?
DOCTOR 11
well, in a twister made up of it
AMY
(breathing hard)
What do we do!?
DOCTOR 11
I have no idea! we cant
dematerialize
ROSE
WHY NOT!
DOCTOR 10
Dematerializing while in motion is
risky with natural and recurring
phenomenon, but when the motion is
being controlled by a sentient
force? well we might as well just
walk into the vortex right now!
A phone ring is heard. ROSE takes out a cell phone
ROSE
hello?
view will switch with dialogue unless specified
PETE
oh thank god! are you in one
piece?
ROSE
yes, we're all fine the Dust
hasn't entered the Tardis
PETE
is there anything Torchwood can
do?
ROSE
I don't know.
(to DOCTOR 10) anything Torchwood
can do?
DOCTOR 10
nothing right now
ROSE
no but we might think of
something, I'll call you
Rose puts her phone back in her pocket
DOCTOR 10
I have an idea!
EVERYONE (except DOCTOR 11) "what?"
DOCTOR 10
I cant believe I didn't think of it
before! Do you have two sonics?
DOCTOR 11
no but I can get you one
DOCTOR 10
AMY, ROSE, come to the door
AMY and ROSE go up to the door. DOCTOR 11 gives DOCTOR 10
his sonic and runs to the console and starts typing on the
typewriter, and does other things
DOCTOR 10
each of you take a handle, and
open when I say so
AMY
(alarmed)
What!?
DOCTOR 10
Trust me, this will work
a new sonic pops out. DOCTOR 11 throws it to DOCTOR 10.
DOCTOR 10 places the tips close together
DOCTOR 10
NOW!
AMY and ROSE pull the doors open. Wind howls and blows.
DOCTOR 10 activates the sonics at the same time. huge sound
waves are emitted.
View "Outside" (outside the TARDIS, still in the twister,
see the Doctors using the sonics and th sound waves
emanating. screeches/screams of the Dust join the noise of
wind and sonic. (though really the screams of the Dust
shouldn't be heard)
Zoom Out of the twister. It is huge! hundreds of feet tall.
and it is not the only one, they're all over the city. Zoom
In slightly on the main Twister. the Twister vibrates. View
INT Tardis- everyone's hands on their ears
View EXT- the Twister "runs" (it flees in groups of Dust in
many directions from the Tardis)
DOCTOR 10
We're in free fall!
everyone grabs hold of something as they fall, Rory snatches
the Jar, and start to lift into the air. DOCTOR 11
difficulty pilots the Tardis, the materialization noise
starts, DOCTOR 10 closes the doors. They all fall to the
floor groaning.
EXT. LONDON - DAY
Everyone is outside the TARDIS, in the street, next to the
car, it is very windy, even with the twister no longer near
them.
DOCTOR 10
(glancing at
DOCTOR 11)
We have to kill it.
DOCTOR 11
(Not happy with
that idea)
It's gotten so big now, it must be
smart enough to be reasoned with.
If we could figure out how to
communicate.
DOCTOR 10
(stoic/sad
determination)
No one more than I can understand
why you want to try and talk to
it, to end this peacefully, but I
also know just as well as you that
this thing can't be reasoned with.
It doesn't matter how intelligent
it is now, it's going to keep
feeding, keep growing, until it
devours the planet.
The only thing that will happen if
we waste time trying to
communicate with it is that it
will be it get so large it can't
be killed, or so smart that it
will be able to stop us.
It's already wiped out one planet,
and I'm not going to let it take
another. And Doctor, you're going
to help me, because you may have
changed faces, but some things
don't change, and this planet
needs you again.
(tosses back the sonic)
Everyone looks at DOCTOR 11.
DOCTOR 11 looks at DOCTOR 10, at both sonics now resting in
his hands, then at ROSE.
DOCTOR 11
(brightening)
Then what are we waiting for?
Let's save the earth!
DOCTOR 10
(Smiling)
Lead the way Doctor.
Discussion on what to do. Camera will switch between DOCTORs
11 and 10, and who they are talking to. They walk around
while talking.
DOCTOR 11
(Grinning)
We know it's sensitive to specific
resonance frequencies, but we
can't fly the TARDIS around with
us using the sonics, there's too
many of them and they can get out
of range.
We need a way to hit all of it at
once.
DOCTOR 10
(Grinning)
The great thing about this
reality, it comes prepared for
things like this.
(points at closest speaker)
DOCTOR 11
Are those all over the city!?
PETE
But they're controlled back at
Torchwood, we'll never make it,
that thing is everywhere!
DOCTOR 11
Then someone will just have to
distract it!
DOCTOR 10
One of us could use the TARDIS,
while the other gets taken to
TORCHWOOD
AMY
But the TARDIS isn't working! We
never got the juice!
DOCTOR 10
Maybe she can't dematerialize, but
she can still fly, at least well
enough to distract a huge tornado.
ROSE
(worried)
You want to do it don't you.
Fly the TARDIS.
DOCTOR 10
(looking at ROSE)
It's been ages.
ROSE
(very worried)
And there is no way I can change
your mind?
DOCTOR 10
You didn't let me finish Rose.
DOCTOR 10 takes ROSE's hand
DOCTOR 11
It's been ages since I've flown
the TARDIS, with you.
They both run into the TARDIS.
The rest get into the car and drive off.
INT. TORCHWOOD OFFICE - DAY
DOCTOR 11 is at the desk, typing and moving things on the
screen and using the sonic. AMY and RORY watch the
vidscreens of the city, it's getting worse.
PETE is talking to ROSE, keeping in communication with her
and DOCTOR 10.
Camera will switch from INT- TARDIS to INT- TORCHWOOD
indicated by SWITCH
PETE
We made it, safe and sound, how it
is on your end?
SWITCH
DOCTOR 10 and ROSE are struggling to hold onto the console
as the TARDIS is thrown about, all sorts of alarms are going
off.
ROSE
(shouting)
We're alive!
DOCTOR 10
(also shouting)
For the time being!
It's scared of the TARDIS, but
it's going to figure out it's
organic soon and then we're in
trouble!
Is the Doctor ready yet!?
SWTICH
DOCTOR 11
(switches from
concentrated to
happy)
and... DONE!
Ready when you are!
Close up of DOCTOR 11 using the desk, activating the
speakers and the sonics, which are in position.
DOCTOR 11
And we're live in 3...2...1!
cool effect as the sound waves spread out of the sonic.
CUT TO EXT-CITY SPEAKERS, sound waves coming from them as
well.
ZOOM OUT, view of it effecting the tornadoes
SWITCH
DOCTOR 10
HOLD ON ROSE!
The sound of the sonics is heard and the shaking is more
violent
CUT TO EXT-CITY the tornadoes fall apart, the dust
disseminating.
CUT TO INT-TORCHWOOD
DOCTOR 11 turns off the sonics as the vidscreens show them
that it is over.
DOCTOR 11 smiles, and so does everyone else. AMY and RORY
hug.
PETE
You did it Doctor.
SWITCH
DOCTOR 10 and ROSE are jumping and hugging, sort of
squealing with delight.
EXT. LONDON - DAY
DOCTORs 11 and 10, ROSE, AMY, and RORY are gathered outside
the TARDIS. DOCTOR 11, AMY and RORY are closer to the
TARDIS, their backs to it. They are saying their goodbyes.
AMY and RORY shake hands with DOCTOR 10 and ROSE and enter
the TARDIS.
DOCTOR 11 stays outside.
DOCTOR 10
I guess this is goodbye then
DOCTOR 11
You talking about me, or the
TARDIS?
DOCTOR 10
(smiling)
You'd know.
DOCTOR 11 opens the door to the TARDIS but pauses on going
in as DOCTOR 10 speaks
DOCTOR 10
There isn't any way we could
convince you to stay? This reality
could really use a Doctor.
DOCTOR 11
Be sort of pointless, seeing at
it's already got one.
DOCTOR 11 tosses one of the sonics to DOCTOR 10
DOCTOR 11
(smiling sadly)
Goodbye Rose.
Goodbye Doctor.
DOCTOR 11 closes the door of the TARDIS behind him.
DOCTOR 10 and ROSE step back as the dematerialization sounds
start and the TARDIS disappears
THE END
