Next Time on Doctor Who…
Amongst old buildings with patios holding potted vegetables such as tomatoes and beautiful gondolas in canals a man sits on a bench staring out into a fountain lost.
Suddenly, he notices a little plastic straw appearing to be moving around above the water and a head beginning to emerge from below the water.
The Doctor, clad in a soaked pinstripe coat, brings himself onto the dry pavement and sees the seated man staring. "Bit of something in my teeth?"
The Doctor takes a seat next to the starer as the observer asks, "Sorry, who are you?"
The Doctor reaches out his hand out with a smile to which the man shakes it. "The Doctor. Nice to meet you!"
"Charles, Charles Mayweather."
Charles comments, "Just lost someone real close to me."
Dark green human sized creatures carry a struggling woman keeping her physically restrained toward a warehouse as Charles watches powerless. She screams, "Charlie! I love you!"
Charles equally impassionately cries, "I'll find you! I promise!"
Charles explains to the Doctor, "They took Rachel right into this building right in front of me."
Charles runs into a building yelling, "Rachel! Rachel! Are you here?"
The Doctor follow Charles into a warehouse. "There's no signs of anyone having been here. Not even a DNA sample. Nothing at all. Completely empty."
Charles leaps towards a dark figure, but flies right through it as it disappears and he hits the hard pavement.
Charles addresses a shadowy green figure with disdain."You! You're… you're the thing that stole Rachel! Where is she?"
The Doctor looks at Charles with regret. "I'm sorry, Charles. I'm so sorry."
The Doctor and Charles stand with their hands up defensively.
A green creature's deep voice proclaims. "Do the humans have any last requests?"
Charles answers, "Please, I don't want to die!"
The Doctor cocks his head to the side as he excitedly yells, "Allons-y, Charlie!"
Series 4 will continue with "Without a Trace" next week!
