DOCTOR WHO: EPISODE ONE - Touched by an Angel
Written by: Marcus Stockley
[The doctor just regenerated into his new body on the TARDIS which is spinning out of control crashing from the sky to the Earth because no one is in control of it]
Doctor : Bah! ... I'm... I'm alright. Okay, don't panic... everything is fine... I just gotta'... do something to fix this *Starts tampering with the valves and switches on the TARDIS and then stops*... wait, body check. Right. Legs, arms, torso, head *Slaps his face around*, s'all good. It's all good. Lovely. Now *Goes back to operating the TARDIS*... just gotta' land this piece of junk *Looks into the nearby mirror and sees his new face* Oh c'mon! Really?! What happened to the good ol' days where I actually looked half decent! Ugh, alright... don't focus on that. Just gotta' concentra-
[The TARDIS crash lands as the impact causes enough force to make him be thrown across the room]
Doctor: Ouu, that's never happened before. Right, now where was I? *He stands up* Just regenerated into *Looks back into the mirror*... this... and I am so light-headed right now it's not even funny... *Starts letting out a nervous laugh* Alright, maybe it's a bit funny. Now... what's behind door number one?
[He walks over to the door and takes a deep breath, opens it, and walks out into a families living room with the family sitting on the couch looking back at him]
Doctor: Hello! *Smiles*. You're the doctor! Wait...no... let me redo that. *Coughs* Hello! I'm the doctor!
[He then falls over and lands on their coffee table, breaking it in two, as he passes out]
[CUE TITLE THEME: watch?v=aAO6sIyvYoo ]
[The doctor is on the floor still passed out as the family is in utter shock looking back at him]
Monica: Wh-What just happened?
Susan: I-I don't know. Who is he dad?
Kendry: How am I suppose to know that?
Catherine: What the hell is a police box?
Kendry: What?
Catherine: Look, on the top of that thing it says it's a police box.
Monica: Is he a police officer?
Kendry: He doesn't look like a police officer...
Susan: Well, whoever he is we should help him out.
[Susan gets off the couch and kneels beside him]
Kendry: Susan get back, you don't know if that guy's dangerous!
Susan: He doesn't look dangerous.
Kendry: Neither does a chipmunk, but the moment you go near one it'll try to tear your face off!
Monica: I agree with Susan. He looks like he's hurt.
[Monica gets down beside Susan while Catherine tries to open the TARDIS]
Catherine: It's locked. Either that or it opens from the inside. How did he get it in the room?!
Kendry: I bet you it's the government! They invented this new type of cloaking stuff that allows them to monitor us more! I mean, it's bad enough we're being tracked 24/7, now they got invisible boxes with crazy men in them spying on us!
Catherine: Now, we don't know that...
Kendry: Well can you explain a better answer?
[Monica reaches into the doctor's pocket and pulls out his sonic screwdriver]
Monica: Hm? What's this?
[She points it at the ceiling and notices a button on it]
Susan: What does the button do?
Monica: I don't know... Only one way to find out *Smirks*.
[She presses the button and the light bulb above them shatters]
Monica: AH!
Susan: What the hell did you do?
Monica: I dunno', I just pressed the button!
Susan: Than don't do it again!
Monica: Well I'm obviously not going to.
Doctor: ...ungh... will you two stop screaming in my ear?
Kendry: He's waking up!
Doctor: Oy vey... it's a bit dark in here... oy vey... when did I start saying that?!
Catherine: Who are you and what are you doing in our house!
Doctor: Oh... hello! *Slowly crawls over to the couch and sits on it* I'm the doctor!
Monica: You're a doctor?
Doctor: No... I'm the doctor... oy vey my head hurts... oy vey... why am I saying that?! Blah, it's not part of my vocabulary... Oy vey oy vey oy vey... it is fun to say though I'll give it tha-
Susan: What are you doing in our living room?!
Doctor: Yeah, kind of crash landed here... sorry 'bout that.
Catherine: Crash landed?
Doctor: Yeah, in my TARDIS. It's my spaceship!
Kendry: Spaceship?
Doctor: Yeah. Y'know, it's a ship... that flys through space... and time, but that's a bit confusing.
Monica: So, are you a police man, a doctor, or an astronaut?
Doctor: I'm kind of all three come to think of it. Depends on how you look at it.
[The family turns around and looks at the TARDIS in the dark with a faint blue glow emerging from the windows]
Monica: It's glowing...
Doctor: Yep, beautiful isn't it?
[Monica turns around back to face the doctor and screams]
Monica: AH!
Doctor: What's wrong?
[The doctor sits up straight and looks behind him to see a weeping angel starring right back into his face]
Doctor: AH! *Falls off the couch and scootches his way backwards torwards the family while still looking at the angel* Don't blink!
[The rest of the family turns around and gasps at the angel behind the couch]
Catherine: What's a statue doing in our house?! How'd it get here?!
Doctor: That's not important, what's important is that you need to keep looking at it! Look at it at all times! Don't turn your head, or you'll die. Don't blink, or you'll die. Just make sure that one of us is keeping eye contact on it at all times!
Susan: Why is that?
Doctor: Because if you don't, you're going to go bye bye. Now just listen to me.
Kendry: Why should we listen to you?!
Doctor: Because I'm the doctor, that's why.
Kendry: And what does that mean, you look like a maniac to me!
Doctor: Seriously! Mocking me isn't the best thing to do at this moment. Just shut up and listen to me! Now, we're going to keep looking at the statue, none of us are going to blink or look away. We're going to go around it, and we're going to get the hell out of this room, got it?
Catherine: I don't understand what's going on...
Monica: I think we should listen to him...
Doctor: See? The pretty little lady knows what to do. Alright, now slowly start walking into that room over there *Points to the kitchen*.
[The doctor and the family start slowly walking torwards the kitchen while still starring at the angel]
Kendry: So, who the hell are you?
Doctor: I'm a time traveling alien form a planet that no longer exists in the Universe.
Kendry: What?!
Doctor: Yeah, I knew you wouldn't be able to comprehend that.
Monica: You're an alien?
Doctor: Oh yes! In the flesh!
Monica: You look human...
Doctor: You look Gallifreyan...
Catherine: What did you call my daughter?!
Doctor: Gallifreyan. It's my race. Gallifrey is my home planet. Well, it was my home planet. Our races look very simmilar. Although this is a good shape to be in. Very flexible and stretchy. Don't fix what's not broken, I guess *Laughs*. But seriously though, focus on the angel.
Susan: Is that statue an alien?
Doctor: Yep. Very dangerous one at that.
Susan: Why is it made of stone?
Doctor: Think of it as camouflage. The alien itself turns into a statue when someone's looking at it for protection. Look away, it changes back into its original look and well... it'll put you in a random time before you're born.
Kendry: What does its normal self look like?!
Doctor: Don't know... never saw it. Does make me curious though. It's such a sad and lonely creature. Shame really...
[They make their way into the kitchen out of the angels view]
Susan: Are we safe?
Doctor: Nope. Keep your eye on the entrance way to the living room. If we look away from it, that'll give it a chance to come in here.
Kendry: Doctor...
Doctor: Hm?
Kendry: Turn around...
[The doctor turns around to see another angel behind him]
Doctor: AGH!... oh man, I haven't realized how much I hate these things...
Catherine: What do we do?
Doctor: Alright, we'll get in a circle with our backs pressed against each other. This way they can't get to us, as long as we don't blink.
[The group does what he says and gets into a circle with their backs pressed against each other]
Monica: Doctor, before you said that if they touch us, we're transported back in time before we're born. Why?
Doctor: The Angels feed off the "potential energy" of the years their victims would have lived in the present. My first encounter of them actually led me to being trapped in the 1970's. Oh man, wasn't that an experience *Grins*.
Kendry: So where are we headed?
Doctor: Hm... we could go outside but that'd be no help at all..
Christine: Why?
Doctor: They could still get us outside... that and I want to put an end to this. I have nothing against the angels. It's just annoying being sent to the 1970's with my TARDIS being here.
Susan: Why 1970?
Doctor: Oy! 1970 is a fun time. Late night parties and stuff. It's lovely. Although, I do prefer to have my TARDIS with me when I'm there.
Monica: We could go up to my room...
Doctor: Upstairs it is then...
[They slowly start making their way out of the kitchen and up a flight of stairs]
Doctor: Y'know, for an alien in a blue box that makes its way into your living room and then gets attacked by aliens disguised as statues that look like Angels, you guys are handling this pretty well. Congrats.
Catherine: Once you've seen so much unbelievable stuff happen you tend to just give in and go along with it.
Doctor: Right. Lovely. Anywho, which one is your room?
Monica: The one on the right.
Doctor: Your right or my right?
Monica: Um. My right. No, your right.
Doctor: Got it!
[They make their way into Monica's room where the doctor notices a computer off in the corner]
Doctor: Ouu, this'll be perfect!
Monica: What, my computer?
Doctor: With this I could make a machine that could cause a frequency strong enough to knock the angels back to the beginning of the universe *laughs*. I will have to hook it up to the TARDIS though... that'll be a pain.
Kendry: What are you talking about?
Doctor: It's sciency stuff. Humans never found out how to do this yet. Um, could you pass me a hammer or something... whatever your name is...
Monica: It's Monica. Monica Shepard *Smiles*.
Doctor: Monica Shepard. Pleasure to meet you *smiles back*.
Monica: I don't have a hammer, but I have this baseball bat from when I played baseball as a kid.
Doctor: Really? I thought you played basketball with it *Grins*.
Monica: You're a sarcastic one... *Hands him the bat*.
Doctor: I know, I love it!
[He firmly grips the baseball bat with his hand. He raises it above his head and swings it downwards smashing the computer to pieces]
Monica: What the hell are you doing! I spent my whole summer saving up money to buy that computer!
Doctor: Good for you, but at this point I think our lives are more important than money.
Monica: Couldn't you use at least a screwdriver or something to get into it?!
Doctor: Screwdriver... that reminds me! *Reaches in his pocket* What... What?! It's gone. Or god it's gone. Where did it go!
Catherine: Where did what go?!
Doctor: My sonic screwdriver! I could've sworn I put it in my pocket.
Kendry: Sonic screwdriver?
Doctor: Yeah you know... big metal screwdriver... that's sonic. Makes a buzzing noise. Y'know... BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZT.
Monica: That thing? I took it out of your pocket and pressed the button on it. It ended up busting our light bulb.
Doctor: And then what did you do with it?
Monica: I put it down as you woke up... which means it's... downstairs with the angels.
Doctor: ...Nothing can be easy, can it? *Annoyed sigh*.
Kendry: So what do we do now?
Doctor: Well, we go down and get my screwdriver. I'll need it to make this contraption of mine. *Looks through all the pieces of the computer he broke* Looks like I got enough stuff to work with here. That's a plus.
Catherine: So... you're saying we have to go downstairs? Where those statues are?!
Doctor: Afraid so. I'd suggest you to stay up here out of danger, but when it comes to the weeping angels, two heads are better than one. In this case, four... wait a second, wasn't there five of us?
Kendry: What? *Looks around* Where's Susan?!
Catherine: Susan?!
Monica: Doctor, where is she?!
Doctor: Now, now, don't panic... if anything she got scarred and wandered off...
Kendry: What, with those things?!
Doctor: I'm afraid so...
Catherine: Susan sweetie!
Doctor: Keep your voice down!
Catherine: She's my daughter doctor, I can do whatever the hell I please.
[She heads out of the room torwards the staircase as the rest of the group follows]
Doctor: Wait, no! It's too dangerous to go alone!
[They run out of the room to find her at the top of the staircase frozen in fear]
Kendry: Catherine, what's wrong?!
[He slowly approaches her from behind and looks over her sholder as he becomes frozen in fear as well. Monica runs up torwards them and lets out a gasp as she places her hands over her mouth as she begins tearing up. The doctor slowly stands beside them and notices a small Weeping angel at the bottom of the stairs. Except this one wasn't an angel]
Monica: Th-That's not an angel doctor... Th-that's...
Catherine: S-Susan...
[She rushes down the stairs torwards the statue as she wraps reaches her arms out for it bawling her eyes out. She touches the statue and disappears]
Doctor: NO!
Kendry: Catherine!
Monica: Mom!
[The two of them try to run down the stairs torwards the angel but the doctor tugs on their shirts pulling them back]
Doctor: Don't go near it!
Monica: Doctor what happened to mom and why does that statue look like my sister!?
Doctor: I don't know! Just don't touch it. Keep starring at it and don't blink!
[The doctor slowly steps down the stairs starring back at the angel as Monica and Kendry hug each other while crying]
Doctor: This is impossible... how can you... what? Since when could you turn into look-a-likes? ...or are you not a look-a-like... oh my god... you're the kid, aren't you?! They did this to you! But how?! Angels could never do this... well, as far as I have known... Ugh, I'm missing something here!
[He slowly walks past the angel and looks back up at Monica and Kendry]
Doctor: You two back to the room! Keep the lights on, lock the door, and close the blinds to your window. I'll be back in five minutes. If one finds you, don't blink! Remember that!
[They nod and slowly walk back to the room as the doctor continues to make his way back to the living room. He grabs a hand mirror off of a vanity and makes his way to the kitchen, while using the mirror to look behind him. He passes the Angel in the kitchen which is showing a very demonic face at him. He uses his mirror to his advantage and returns to the living room, seeing the angel behind the couch looking at him with a demonic face as well]
Doctor: Just like old times *Let's out a chuckle*.
[He slowly makes his way to the coffee table he broke in two, bends over, and picks up his sonic screwdriver off the floor. He gets up and sees the Angel from the kitchen in the doorway through the mirror]
Doctor: What, was the kitchen too boring for you? Ain't I so popular.
[He slowly continues walking and makes his way into the TARDIS where he closes the door behind him]
Doctor: Alrighty! Thank god that parts done. Now let's see. *Checks the time* Three minutes. Two minutes left to spare. I'm getting better at this *Smiles*.
[He flicks on some levers and messes around with some buttons on the TARDIS and takes off as the TARDIS shakes and lights flicker. He lands in Monica's bedroom where he jumps out of the door with a smug grin on his face]
Monica: You're back! *She runs over and hugs him*
Kendry: What took you so long?!
Doctor: Oy! I was gone for three minutes! I said five. You're lucky I didn't accidentally leave for twenty years like an old companion of mine. That got awkward *Chuckles*.
Monica: Did you get the screwdriver?
[He pulls it out of his pocket and waves it around in the air]
Doctor: Never doubt me! Actually scratch that, 'cause I can be wrong a lot of the time. Doubt me when you don't doubt me and don't doubt me when you doubt me. That's more like it.
Kendry: So now what?
Doctor: Now, I can build a device that emits a frequency that'll basically confuse the angels causing them to escape. They're very techy for something made of stone. *Sits down at the computer*.
Monica: What about my mom and my sister?
[Awkward silence]
Doctor: I'm sorry. I'm so very sorry but um... I can't do anything about that.
Kendry: What?!
Doctor: Your mother's been put in a different time period before she was born. She's probably fine to be honest. She just can't get back to this time period.
Monica: You said you could travel through time! Can't you go get her!?
Doctor: I could... if I knew where she was.
Kendry: What about my daughter?
Doctor: As for her... I still don't know why she's an angel... I've never seen them turn a person into one of their own...
Monica: So we're never going to see them again?
Doctor: I'm not going to say no. But the odds of the answer being yes is very slim. I'm sorry but when it comes to this stuff I'm very honest about it. Now... before one of us get turned to stone... let's get to work.
[He sits down and grabs his screw driver and uses it on the wires and machinery lying on the desk. Hours pass as Monica and Kendry slowly fall asleep and are awakened by the doctor holding a small cube of wires and machinery]
Doctor: I did it! It only took me two hours and thirty seven minutes but I did it!
Kendry: Mm... finally.
Doctor: Alrighty, you two wait here as I plug this into the TARDIS!
[He lets out a boyish grin as he walks into the TARDIS holding the cube. He places it in a socket built into the mainframe and presses a few buttons. Suddenly the TARDIS slowly starts to shut down]
Doctor: What?! Wh-How?! What?! Nononononono stop! Don't shut down you lousy piece of junk! *Let's out an an aggrivated moan*.
[The TARDIS is completly pitch black except a for a monitor built into the mainframe that's showing static. Suddenly the word "Hello" is shown on the monitor].
Doctor: What? Hello? Who is this?
[The monitor flashes the word Angel]
Doctor: Angel? What?! ... wait... you're oneof the weeping angels?
[The monitor flashes the word yes]
Doctor: And you interfered with the energy from my TARDIS to communicate to me?
[The monitor is still showing the word yes]
Doctor: Oh that is brilliant *Smiles*. Now, I want a few questions to be answered and I think I should be given a break and have them answered seeing as how I regenerated not to long ago. Can I ask these questions?
[The monitor is still showing the word yes]
Doctor: Lovely! Now, first question. Which angel are you? Staircase, Kitchen, or Living room?
[The monitor flashes the word staircase]
Doctor: Perfect, just the angel I wanted to talk to. Now, are you an original weeping angel, or are you the little girl?
[The monitor flashes the word child]
Doctor: So the angels did turn you into one of them...
[The monitor goes back to showing the word yes]
Doctor: I'm so sorry... that must've been awful... what was your name again?
[The monitor flashes the word Susan]
Doctor: Susan... heh, I once had a granddaughter named Susan... brilliant child she was...
[The monitor flashes the name David Campbell]
Doctor: Oy! Get out of my files! Anywho, question two. Why did you guys not turn the mother to stone?
[The monitor flashes the word Accident]
Doctor: Accident? An accident? How was it an accident?!
[The monitor flashes the word Sorry]
Doctor: Alright... bit strange hearing that from an angel, but onto question three... why are you turning people to stone?!
[The monitor flashes the word Repopulation]
Doctor: Repopulation? Why would you need to repopulate, what happened to the rest of the angels?
[The monitor flashes the word Dead]
Doctor: Dead? How did they die?
[The monitor flashes the word Crack]
Doctor: Crack? What crack?!
[The monitor flashes the words Alfava Metraxis]
Doctor: Alfava Metraxis? You mean the crack in space and time? The one you all fell into?! Oh man it all makes sense now! *Smiles*. But tell me, why are you here?
[The monitor flashes the word Revenge]
Doctor: Revenge? Who are you getting Revenge on?!
[The monitor flashes the word Doctor]
Doctor: For letting you all fall out of the universe? Oh c'mon that's a bit unfair! You guys did leave me no choise seeing as how you were all about to kill me!
[Suddenly Monica screams]
Monica: Doctor! Help!
[The doctor runs out of the TARDIS to find the three statues trapping them in a triangle position]
Kendry: Doctor, they got us trapped, I'm so sorry. I blinked, then she blinked, and before we knew it they showed up.
Doctor: Alright, calm down this is perfect!
Monica: How the hell is this perfect?!
Doctor: You got them in a bad situation. Now, in order to end this whole thing, I'm going to need you to blink.
Kendry: Are you kidding me?! If we blink we'll die!
Doctor: Not if you duck at the last second! On the count of three I want you to blink and duck, ready? One... two... THREE!
[Monica and Kendry duck and blink at the same time as everything goes silent. They open their eyes and look up to see the angels frozen and motionless]
Kendry: What happened?!
Doctor: hahaa! Brilliant, absolutley brilliant! You two made them look at each other!
Monica: And what does that do?!
Doctor: It traps them so they can't move. They can't move, they're looking at each other, so they turn to stone. They can't even look at themselves. Poor lil' things. Their biggest weapon is their biggest weakness...
Kendry: Are we safe? I mean, is this whole mess over with?
Doctor: Thankfully, yes. Oh you don't know how good it is saying that *Laughs*.
Monica: *Hugs the doctor* Thank you so much!
Doctor: Bah, it was nothing. I've been doing this for about 1600 years now.
Kendry: 1600? You don't even look to be in your thirties!
Doctor: Yeah... I do don't I? I love it!
Monica: So now what are you going to do?
Doctor: Well... this is the part where I usually hop into my lil' blue box and fly away to save someone else.
Monica: So you're going to leave us?
Doctor: I could... or um... you could come with me...
Monica: I can?!
Doctor: I mean, it's up to your father. Hell, I might even have room for him as well. How about it?
Kendry: I don't think I could go... I mean, my wife and child are gone and you're just going to fly away.
Doctor: Look, it may look really bad. But you're wife and daughter are fine! In fact, come into the TARDIS and take a look for yourself.
[The doctor leads the two of them into the TARDIS where their jaws drop to find it bigger on the inside]
Kendry: I-It's...
Monica: The inside's bigger...
Doctor: Usually people say it's bigger on the insi-y'know what. That's close enough. Oy! Miss Susan! Sorry about what I did to you and your lil' friends, but I got someone here who would really like to say one final goodbye!
[The monitor flashes the word father]
Kendry: Wh-What? I-Is that... Susan?
Doctor: Yes it is! Lovely isn't it?
Kendry: S-Susan sweetie, can you hear me?
[The monitor flashes the word yes]
Kendry: Oh Susan, I'm so sorry what happened to you!
Monica: Susan, it's Monica! Are you alright?
[The monitor flashes the word yes]
Doctor: Look Susan, I was just wanting to say that we have no hard feelings. Alright? It's nothing personal, but um... your friends did almost kill us. So I just wanted to say Sorry. Can we accept that?
[The monitor flashes the word Accepted]
Doctor: *Smiles* Ah, Brilliant! She's a smart girl you got there Kendry!
Monica: So um, Susan... the doctor wants me to travel with him. Should I?
[The monitor flashes the word yes]
Kendry: I love you Susan...
[The monitor flashes the word love]
Doctor: So what do you say Kendry, should you come along with me?
Kendry: What do you think, Susan? Should I?
[The monitor flashes the word no]
Kendry: Why not?
[The monitor flashes the word lonely]
Doctor: I think she wants someone to stay and keep her company...
Kendry: I... of course I'll keep you company sweetie. Whether you're a statue or not, I'll always love you.
Monica: What about me? Can I go?!
Kendry: You want to go with him that badly?
Monica: I mean, he said he's a time traveler! Just think of all of the things I could do and see!
Kendry: I mean, if you do go will I ever see you again?
Doctor: Hellloooo, magical time traveling blue box. Of course she will see you again! I promise you. And I never break a promise.
Kendry: A-Alright... you can go. As long as the doctor brings you home five minutes from now safe and sound.
Doctor: It's a deal Kendry! Pleasure doing business with ya'. Now, Monica. Ready?
Monica: More than ever!
Doctor: See ya' in five minutes!
Monica: By daddy!
Kendry: By sweetie! You be safe!
[The doctor and Monica hop into the TARDIS as Kendry sits back and slowly watches it disappear. He looks back at the statue of Susan. He lets out a small sigh of relief and smiles. He gets up, but when he does the TARDIS returns and places itself in the exact same spot it was in]
Kendry: Well, that's a bit earlier than five minutes *Laughs*
[Suddenly Monica falls out of the TARDIS with cuts and bruises all over her body. She gets up and stares into her fathers eyes with a look as if she's seen everything awful in the universe]
Kendry: Monica! What the hell happened to you! How long were you gone!?
Monica: D-Daddy... it's the doctor... h-he's in trouble.
[She passes out in Kendry's arms as Kendry looks in the TARDIS and sees the doctor passed out as well and beaten up pretty bad]
