(Doctor Who Intro)
Episode 5: Return of the Ripper
(Victorian citizens walk around the streets)
(The camera cuts to inside of a house)
???: Madam Vastra, might I ask your opinion on who the Ripper could be this time?
Vastra: I have no idea, however, if Jack the Ripper has returned to Whitechapel, then he endangers many innocent people, Mr. Ciel Phantomhive…
Ciel: It is my job to assure the queen that the criminal underground is under my control.
Vastra: And I know, however, if even the Queen's guard dog can't solve the mystery of the return of Jack the Ripper, then I can do no more than you…
Ciel: So you're saying at this point I'm wasting my time?!
Vastra: Rest assure, I believe I have someone who might be able to help us with this.
???: And who is this person you speak of?
Vastra: Very well, Sebastian Michaelis, demon Butler to the Earl, the name of my friend is "The Doctor"...
Ciel: "The Doctor"?, Doctor who?
Vastra: That is his name…
Sebastian: Shouldn't he be doing surgery, or any other thing than dealing with this?
Vastra: He is more intelligent than a surgeon…. He has solved more mysteries than Sherlock Holmes and I combined, half of the mysteries I have solved were because of him…
Ciel: So…. Where is your "Doctor"?
(The three hear the TARDIS materialize)
Vastra: I believe that is him now…
Ciel: What the hell is that noise?
Vastra: That would be his TARDIS…
Sebastian: TARDIS?
Vastra: His vehicle, he ever so loves the sound of the breaks being on… against anyone's better judgement.
(A woman emerges from the corner)
Doctor: Hello Vastra…. Been a while.
Vastra: Doctor?
Doctor: Yep, It's me… Had a bit of an upgrade… new face, new clothes!
(Two teen twins emerge from the same corner)
Roxxy: Doctor, What are we doing here? You said we were answering a distress call…
Ciel: A what?
Doctor: Roxxy, this is the 19th century, Distress calls don't exist yet…
Roxxy: So what was it that we saw on the moni…
(Ripley covers her sister's mouth)
Ripley: Sorry, she's a little... delusional…
(Roxxy bites her sister)
Ripley: OW!!!
Roxxy: And gets pissy when someone calls her delusional!
Doctor; Oi, both of you, behave!... Go to the wardrobe, get a change of clothes, tell the others to do the same...
(Roxxy drags her sister back to the TARDIS)
Doctor: Sorry about that, new friends, they can be a little…. Much, but I wouldn't trade anything for them…
Vastra: Twins?
Ciel: You said there were others, how many did you bring?
Doctor: There's three more…
Vastra: Quintuplets?!
Doctor: No, they're just friends…
TARDIS interior, wardrobe
Roxxy: You know, back in the caves, I thought you said you'd have my back from now on…
Ripley: I did, and I did have your back in that damn room…
Roxxy: but could you have at least been better about your word choice?!
Ripley: I thought you were a scientist not an English teacher…
Roxxy: You know, we could have just left at the caves instead of taking you!
Ripley: I thought you wanted me to come along…
Roxxy: Now I'm having second thoughts about this and remembered why we never got along so well…
Ripley: Oh, so we're bringing back the past now, ok, so, how's Ghostbusters going now, being shut down and all?!
Roxxy: Oh you didn't!?
(The two start punching and kicking each other)
(Bridget intervenes)
Bridget: Will you both stop it?! You two are worse than me and my older brother when we fight! And believe me, I nearly threw him out a goddamn window!
(Walter walks over to Yale and whispers to him)
Walter: What's up with them?
Yale: Trust me, you don't wanna know…
Walter: Just tell me…
Yale: (sigh) They lost their dad when they were five, Rose took it the hardest…
Walter: Why?
Yale: Wouldn't you be heartbroken if you found out the truth four years later?
Walter: And Rip?
Yale: She knew the truth at six, Aunt Ruby left the police report letter on her desk, and Ripley took them and read them in her room…. Rose found out about that when they were both 13, she was angry at her own sister, after they were both 15, Ripley got a letter of recommendation for an archeology excavation, Ripley took it in a huff, and left…. Rose forgave her mom, but she couldn't forgive her…
Walter: So they used to be so close, and a letter broke them?!
Yale: Yep, they may give the cutesie " We're just fine" look, but inside, they despise each other…
Walter: That's stupid…. Completely, utterly stupid!
Yale: I just hope that they'll get along soon…. Because if they don't, I'm afraid they'll just go and forget each other…
(The two sisters break up)
Roxxy: Just, stay out of the way and let us handle the hard stuff…
Ripley: Oh, you think I can't handle the hard work? I have done more work than you could ever imagine after that recommendation from River!
Roxxy: Did you ever get recognized for that!?
Ripley: Oh you…!
Bridget: End this now or I will!!!
(The two look at Bridget)
Bridget: If you both don't stop fighting, I'll finish this, without any damn hesitation!
(The two sisters stop fighting)
Yale: Can I make a suggestion for you two?…. Rose, you're with Walter, Rip, with me…
Ripley and Roxxy: Fine!
The Paternoster household, after the wardrobe change
(The five teens exit the TARDIS)
Doctor: All better fam?
Walter: yes…
Ciel: Fam?
Doctor: Right, sorry, forgot it's 1896….
Vastra: June 27th….
Doctor: So, what's the problem?
Vastra: Jack the Ripper has returned…
Roxxy: Wait, Who?
Ciel: You have not heard the rumors and conspiracies?
Doctor: Was on holiday, I thought Jack the Ripper was caught…
Ciel: Yes and no…. Yes, Jack was found… no, he wasn't captured…. Long dead now…
Doctor: and you're saying he's returned?
Roxxy: Motives?
Vastra: Excuse me?
Roxxy: Did you find any motives to the killings?
Ripley: Even if the murders are random, there has to be something either missing or damaged…
Sebastian: Well, I see we have some very well acomplaced Detectives here…
Roxxy: Pays to be clever…
Ripley: Also pays to think like a sensible person…
Bridget: Twins….
(The two look away from each other)
Doctor: What is wrong with you two?!
Yale: They're like this when Aunt Ruby isn't around…
Walter: Doesn't help when someone knows why…
Roxxy: Wait…. You know?
Ripley: Yale Goka!!!
Yale: Way to go genius…. Now they're mad at both of us…
Doctor: Will you all stop for a minute?!
Bridget: Right…(straightens up) sorry…
Vastra: Quite a crew you've built up…
Ciel: Quite dysfunctional as well…
Doctor: You have no idea…
Sebastian: My Lord, shall we pay a visit to the undertaker?
Roxxy: Who?
Sebastian: The undertaker, a businessman who makes profits from…. How should I say this…. "Taking care of the dead".
Yale: He sounds friendly…
Ciel: I believe it would be the best course of action.
Doctor: Mind if I come along?
Roxxy: Not without us…
Doctor: Fine…. Roxxy, you and Rip with me...
Walter: Why don't I go with Roxxy, and Ripley can stay with Vastra?
Doctor: You…. With Roxxy?... Haa!
(The Doctor drags the teens towards the carriage)
Walter: Well there goes our plan of keeping them from each other's throats…
Bridget: I think the Doctor has an idea to keep them from going at each other's throats…
Yale: Well, gotta hope that's the case…. Otherwise, we're gonna have a pair of arguing idiots and a dead Doctor…
Bridget: …. Arguing idiots?!
Yale: Ok…. Arguing idiot twins…
Walter: Not much better…
Yale: Whatever…
(Ciel and Sebastian walk to the carriages)
Vastra: Trust in the Doctor's judgment…. Even if she has regenerated to the person she is now…. She has a way of… "persuasion".
Walter:. ….. huh?
The Undertaker's shop
Roxxy: A…. Coffin shop?
Ripley: I expected a more mourgish type deal…
Roxxy: I'm not judging you with that…
Doctor: See, you two obviously can get along…
Roxxy: We're agreeing, not getting along…
Ripley: I hate to say she's right, but she is…
Roxxy: Can we just shut up and see the victim's bodies?
???: I'm afraid they've gone…
(The five look down towards a long, gray haired man)
Doctor: Gone? Did someone take them already?
Undertaker: I'm afraid worse dear, they've vanished out of thin air…. Forgive me, but I…. Am the Undertaker…
Ciel: How could five bodies just vanish out of thin air?
Sebastian: Well…. This was severely disappointing, I was expecting to find clues to this…
Roxxy: Hmmmmmmmmm…. (Gasp) aha…. Mr. Undertaker, would you allow us to check the coffins of the dead people who vanished?
Doctor: What?
Ciel: What are you playing at?
Undertaker: Why would you want to look at empty coffins?
Roxxy: I think there may be something in there that you might have missed…
Doctor: Very good, great detective skills!
Roxxy: Basic common sense….
Ripley: And the fact that you know something don't you?
Roxxy: Maybe, if the theory works that is…
(The five enter the shop)
Roxxy: Doctor, the sonic…
Doctor: OOH, I get it!
(The Undertaker brings out a coffin)
Undertaker: This one held a woman of twenty years, Marissa Dunsby.
(The Doctor takes out her Sonic screwdriver and scans the coffin)
Doctor: Huh…. Some sort of slime residue seeped into the fabric…
(Roxxy puts her hand in the coffin and squeezes the fabric)
Ciel: Ugh… yuck…
Roxxy: It's almost like a static Magnetheric mucus…
(Roxxy pulls out her hand, she's shocked by the metal on the outside of the coffin)
Roxxy: Gah!... Ahh… ow…!
Ripley: What the hell was that?!
Doctor: Slime that shocks you, that's a new one on me…
Roxxy: No…. It was like the slime acted as a power source, jumping to the metal with static discharge…. Basic science when you think about it…. But why is it in the coffins?
(Ripley pulls out a small vial container)
Ripley: Normally this would be used for storing tiny artifacts, but it should do for this slime stuff.
Roxxy: Thanks…. (Shocks sister)
Gah!!!
Ripley: OW!!! HEY!
Roxxy: The slime must react differently to some types of matter…
Ripley: Oh, so the slime did it huh?!
Roxxy: Well, in this case, yes IT did!
Doctor: And back to the fighting, I hate it when siblings fight…
Roxxy: Why? Why does our fight HAVE to concern you?!
Doctor: Because…. It's like a miniature version of throwing out the bad things…
Roxxy: Well, I don't see you holding back info… like a certain twin…
Doctor: What?
Ripley: It's not my fault Mom leaves her shit everywhere…
Roxxy: But did you have to keep the important shit from me that would hurt me?!
Ripley: What fucking choice did I have?!
Roxxy: Maybe telling the fucking truth like I did!
(The Undertaker gives Roxxy a cloth)
Undertaker: Sorry to Intrude on your argument, but I think you need to wipe your hand off of that slime…
(Roxxy wipes the slime off of her hand)
Roxxy: You know what you did…. So I'm waiting…
(Roxxy exits the shop and slams the door)
Ciel: What was that all about?
Doctor: Later… I'll need to analyze that slime residue…
(The rest exit the shop)
The Paternoster household
Vastra: So Doctor, what is it?
Doctor: A residue discharge from a Rutan…. If the data is precise…
Ripley: A Rutan?
Doctor: Sort of jellyfish like creatures that can shapeshift…
Roxxy: Oh, so Jack the Ripper is an alien?
Doctor: Maybe…. Hard to tell…
Vastra: Strax would be jumping up and down by this news…
Doctor: Try and keep him out of this…
Vastra: No need, he's at the Phantomhive Manor for the time being…
Doctor: Well that's a relief… what about Jenny?
Vastra: Supervising his activities until further notice…
Doctor: I guess that's the only way to keep him on the ground eh?
Vastra: Unfortunately yes…
Ciel: Might I ask why the Ripper is an alien?
Doctor: Don't know, that's the question isn't it, why steal human bodies?
Roxxy: Bio organic slime residue…. Alien jellyfish…. Where do the bodies fit in?
Ripley: …. Bio organical prossesing…. If Roxxy's theory was correct…. The only reason the Rutan would want the bodies is to harvest organic components… like a data archive!
Roxxy: Meaning if the Rutan took the bodies fresh, it would be able to use the nervous system as a techo organic computer...
Doctor: (sarcastically) Brilliant you two…. See, workin together to solve the mystery of the Ripper's return!
Ripley: One slight problem…
Roxxy: Let me guess, How it got about without being detected….
Ripley: Exactly…
Roxxy: Doctor, you said it was a shapeshifter, right?
Doctor: Yes, but it needs an organic link to the species…
Roxxy: Meaning…. Jack the Ripper never returned…. He was still here gathering and using the organic components to do…. Something…
Ciel:I'm sorry, but what?
Sebastian: So you're saying that The dead Ripper mine was an alien the whole time?
Roxxy: Yes, why?
Ciel: My…. Aunt Red…. She was the fugitive, she was the Ripper before all this…
Roxxy: Oh…. Well…. This is a little awkward…
Ripley: Agreed…
Bridget: So… quick question…. How are we gonna catch ourselves a Rutan?..
Doctor: Good question…. Answer, we use high frequency sound to stun it and trap it using protonic energy…
Roxxy: Big problem now…. Protonic energy hasn't been discovered yet…
Ciel: Can anyone tell me what you are talking about?
Walter: Trust me… nod when they say something clever…
Ciel: Why..?
Yale: because even we don't understand what the hell they're talking about…
Doctor: Honestly, They're like younger versions of me…. Clever and resourceful…
Bridget: Except they're human, and you're not…
Doctor: Oi…. You got little cat ears, what do you think you look like to them?!
Bridget: Someone who's more normal than you…
Ciel: Hang on, you said, she's not human?
Doctor: Timelord… different biology from you…
(The vial starts vibrating violently)
Roxxy: Whoa…. Ok, that's… interesting…
Ripley: Tell me you're just shaking it really fast…
Roxxy: Doctor, sonic... now…
(The Doctor takes out her screwdriver and scans the slime)
Doctor: Seems like it's… activated or something…
(The Doctor uses her Sonic screwdriver on the slime)
Doctor: Like it's…
(Roxxy and Ripley teleport away from the others)
Doctor: Recalling… oh dear…
Rutan ship
(Roxxy and Ripley teleport to the main control deck)
Ripley: Ok where the hell are we?!
Roxxy: Looks like the ship, to be more precise, the flight deck… I think…
Ripley: Oh, so now you know alien ships, huh?!
Roxxy: Now, you wanna do this NOW?
Ripley: Yes, because I don't think you've been telling me and Mom the whole truth…. What the hell happened?! Why were you traveling with the Doctor?!
Roxxy: ... Apologize then…
Ripley: What?!
Roxxy: Say you're sorry about what you did…. Why you kept the truth from me… then, I might forgive you and tell you why I ran away with that woman…
Ripley: ...
Roxxy: I'm waiting…
Ripley: Fine, you didn't deserve being lied to… you didn't deserve me walking away from the family… and you deserved better than what you got…(drops arms)
(Ripley has a tear fall from her eye)
Roxxy: Fine…. I left with the Doctor because I felt like a nobody again… all that game and glory… just to get curbstomped by life and it unforgiving foot of irony…
Ripley: So why did you ask me to come with…. Why not just tell me to piss off and die in a fire?
Roxxy: Because of this… I wanted my long awaited apology, just so you see why I was furious…
Ripley: …. So why didn't you ask sooner?
???: I suppose that will not matter…
(The two turn to see a man with green glowing eyes)
Roxxy: Let me guess, a refugee from another planet?
???: You guessed right…
Ripley: Simple enough when you think about it… why kill people for spare parts?
Rutust: I, Rutust, did no such thing…
Roxxy: What?
Rutust: Rutans do not kill humans, at least, humans who don't suspect us… we only kill sontarans, enemies of the Rutan host…
Roxxy: But it doesn't make sense, you were the suspect… how is it not you?!
Ripley: False trail…. Someone framed him…
Rutust: Astute observation… I am a galactic police officer, marooned on this planet until I find the fugitive
Ripley: you must have been hired to capture the true suspect, and was framed when whoever you were trying to arrest knew he was followed…
Rutust: Exactly…
Roxxy: Meaning we need to follow the trail backwards…
Rutust: The criminal is a zygon named Fornule…
Roxxy: Fornule?
Rutust: Yes, an intergalactic fugitive the fled from Poraxon 3
Roxxy: So, the slime in the coffins, that was you checking the bodies, looking for any clues as to who killed the people and how they did it?!
Rutust: Yes…
Roxxy: NOW IT MAKES SENSE, Fornule knew he was being followed, decided to try and revive an old infamous legendary serial killer to throw off his scent and devised a plan to frame an officer of galactic law, knowing that whatever officer found the evidence, would suspect you, (points at Rutust) instead of him!
Ripley: meaning he's still out there, killing more people, giving more blame to him…
Roxxy: Exactly…. Rutust, if you let us go we can help you find him and arrest him…
Rutust: And let you tell others where I am?!
Roxxy: We'll explain everything to them… every little detail… we have someone who can track him down without any problems… I think at least…
Rutust: Who is this person you speak of?
Roxxy: Her name is The Doctor…
Rutust: The Doctor, the runaway Timelord who I have faced before… the same Timelord who had regenerated on his own grave, is now a woman…
Ripley: O….k… so, guessing you've heard of her…
Rutust: You want me to partner up with her?
Roxxy: What other choice do you have…. Kill us, and you invoke her wrath… Keep us, you raise her suspicions more…. Let us go and tell them, your reputation is restored… so, what do you say?
(Rutust looks at his scanner for a brief moment)
Rutust: Tell them everything, leave no detail out of this situation…
Roxxy: We will…
Rutust: I trust you…
(Rutust activates the teleport, Roxxy and Ripley are transported back to the house)
The Paternoster household
(The twins materialize in the lobby)
(The Doctor Rushes to the twins)
Doctor: Are you two alright?!
Roxxy: Yes but we…
Doctor: Good, now we have him cornered…
Ripley: Doctor, we…
Doctor: Guys get ready, were gonna catch our criminal…
Roxxy: Doctor, there's…
Vastra: I'll get Jenny and Strax here now…
Roxxy: THE RIPPER ISN'T A RUTAN!!!!
(Everyone goes quiet)
Yale: What?
Walter: What do you mean? it has to be!
Ripley: The Rutan was trying to find the real killer…. And when the REAL criminal knew he was being followed, he used the officer that chased him as a scapegoat…
Roxxy: Meaning if we want to find Jack the Ripper, the real one, we have to work backwards…
Doctor: What?
Vastra: Why do that?
Roxxy: Think about it, all the kills were random, and if the Ripper knew that others would be able to find him, he'd take their bodies and either hide them, or destroy them…
Ripley: And the true Ripper is a Zygon…
Doctor: OOOOOOOOOH, That makes even more sense, the kills happen, nowhere to go, the criminal transforms into an object or animal, and is able to hide in plain sight…
Walter: So, how do we catch him?
Roxxy: I think I have an idea, but I'll need to use the TARDIS's workbench…
Ripley: I'll help as best I can…
Bridget: Wait, what?
Roxxy: Don't worry about it now…. Ripley, how good are you with laser equipment?
Ripley: … I thought you would never ask…
London alley, Whitechapel
(Bridget walks in the alley)
Bridget: Hope this works….
(Bridget keeps walking)
(A mysterious figure walks up behind her)
(Bridget stops)
(The figure runs up)
(Bridget turns around and raises up her arm at the last second)
(The figure is caught in a stasis field)
Bridget: You know if you wanted to kill me, best to do it a lot more quietly…
(The others emerge from the corner, along with Rutust)
Rutust: Fornule, Under jurisdiction of galactic law 397bd6j5, you are under arrest for the killings of humans, fleeing an officer, framing an officer, and illegal species trading…. Sentenced to lifetime in stormcage…
(Rutust cuffs Fornule)
(Fornule reverts back to his Zygon form)
Roxxy: I think what you're looking for is, " I would have gotten away with this if it wasn't for you meddling kids"...
Doctor: Did you just make a Scooby Doo reference in 1896?
Roxxy: Maybe…
Doctor: Wow…. That's impressive…
Walter: Couldn't have said it better myself…
The Paternoster household, 2 hours later
Vastra: Thank goodness you came during this, thank you for helping…
Doctor: That's what I do… help out anyone in need… with me and my fam…
Yale: Alright Doctor, we're ready to leave…
(The three teens walk into the TARDIS)
Vastra: Oh Roxxy?
(Roxxy stops at the TARDIS doors)
Ripley: I'll go… you stay and have a conversation with her…
Roxxy: ok…
(Ripley and the Doctor enter the TARDIS)
(Roxxy walks towards Vastra)
Roxxy: What is it?
Vastra: During your hostility with your sister, I detected something within you…
Roxxy: Like what?
Vastra: I'm not certain, but I believe it's another soul…
(Roxxy has flashbacks of the Angels)
Angel: The girl of two souls beware…
(Present time)
Roxxy walks towards the TARDIS)
Roxxy: So…. That's what they meant…
(Roxxy enters the TARDIS, worried)
For those of you who noticed, I added a bit of Black Butler to this, I know, I'm a little cheaky
