Last scene of episode 2.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Doctor: No! COME BACK!
The Doctor looks to the ground in defeat. He then gets a face of realization.
Doctor: Ethan!
The Doctor runs out.
[Scene 2]
The Rani is in her TARDIS.
Rani: Hello, I’m home. Yes it's a new face, but no time to talk. Things to do, people to see.
The rani does some stuff on her console. She looks at the scanner.
The Monk walks up to his console.
Monk: What is that?
On his scanner it says “Incoming call”.
Rani: Hello, are you receiving me?
Monk: Hello! Oh, it's you.
Rani: Yes. It’s been a while hasn’t it, Monk.
Monk: Yes, Rani. Why did you call? I was in the middle of a wild goose chase. Literally.
Rani: Well you can forget about that! For now, I have an offer to make you.
Monk: And that is..?
Rani: I need more regenerations.
Monk: What? Why?
Rani: Don’t worry, we can split it 50/50.
Monk: No, I mean why come to me?
Rani: The Master failed me so I thought I would come to the next best timelord.
Monk: Well, I’ll have to decline, sorry. I’m not after regenerations. The power to change time is all I need.
Rani: Ok maybe this will help you change your mind…
Monk: Whatever it is, I’m not interested
The Monk starts to walk away from the screen
Rani: Two words… The Doctor
The Monk stops in his tracks and looks into the camera with Anger.
Monk: What did you say?
Rani: You heard me, I know where the Doctor is. You help me with this, and he’s all yours. Do we have a deal?
The Monk thinks for a moment, a smile creeping over his face
Monk: Alright, I’m in. What do you need me to do?
The Rani slowly starts to laugh.
[Scene 3]
Ethan is in sickbay, unconscious. Lexi is sitting on a chair next to the bed. The Doctor barges in.
Doctor: How is he?! Is he ok?!
Lexi: The doc said that he should be fine, he just needs to rest. But they say the recovery will take a while, 2 months tops.
Doctor: Two months!?
Lexi: Yeah, it shouldn’t take that long though.
The Doctor takes a deep breath and calms down
Doctor: Ok, yeah that is to be expected. It took me around 15 minutes to recover but he's a human so it wouldn't surprise me if it takes longer. I mean another consciousness just entered his mind then got ripped straight out!
Lexi: What do we do now? I mean, we can’t leave him.
Doctor: We have too. The Rani’s still out there. We need to get to her before she gets to me. In the meantime, Sargent Turner will stay here and rest.
Lexi: How are we going to find her?
Doctor: With help from the TARDIS.
Lexi looks confused.
[Scene 4]
We see the TARDIS, still on fire, as the cloister bell is going off. The Doctor walks in.
Doctor: Aw, look at you old girl.
The Doctor walks out of shot. In walks Lexi.
Lexi: What the heck!? This is trippy!
Doctor: Yes, it's bigger on the inside. No, I don’t have time to explain. No, you can’t touch anything. And please be careful.
Lexi slowly walks up to the console. A spark pops and she gets startled. The Doctor starts playing around with the controls. The Doctor pulls the dematerialization leaver. We hear the TARDIS take off and then land again.
Doctor: Now, Rani. Where have you gone off to?
The Doctor gets a shocked look on his face.
Doctor:(frustration) Oh noooooo!!!
Lexi: What’s wrong?
Doctor: The Rani destroyed one of the console panels to build her stupid machine! Gaaww.
The Doctor slams his hands on the console in frustration and a spark flies out.
Lexi: Is that bad?
Doctor: What do you think?
Lexi: I’m gonna go with a probably...?
Doctor: YES! Very! It was the main tracking circuit. Well part of it. She took one wire. She could have chosen any other wire, but no, it had to be that one! I have to fix that now!
The Doctor walks off while he’s talking and ranting.
Lexi: Doctor, where are you going?
The Doctor halts.
Doctor: To get my tool box. Wait here.
The Doctor continues walking.
[Scene 5]
The Monk walks into an old ally way. (Film walkway next to the cinema.) He looks around for a bit but the Rani is nowhere to be seen.
Monk:(whispers) Where is she?
He hears walking behind him. He turns around in a hurry.
Monk: Oh there you are.
Rani: Did you bring it?
The monk pulls out a little fob watch.
Rani: Excellent.
The Rani reaches for it. The Monk moves it closer to his body.
Monk: Remember our deal.
Rani: Of course.
The monk passes the fob watch to the Rani.
Rani: Only 10 more hours. Then he’ll be ready. That’s when we will finally get the Doctor.
The Monk looks at the Rani and gives a slight nod with an evil smirk on his face.
[Scene 6]
The Doctor is sitting on the floor with wires around his neck sonicing a circuit board. Lexi walks into the TARDIS holding 2 cups of coffee.
Lexi: Good morning Doctor.
Doctor: Oh, hey. How was your night?
Lexi: Good. Didn’t get much sleep though.
Doctor: Understandable.
Lexi crouches down next to the Doctor and gives him the cup of coffee.
Doctor: Thanks!
The Doctor drinks some then spits it back into the cup.
Doctor: What is that?
Lexi: Coffee.
Doctor: Coffee!? Why not tea?
Lexi: I find tea a bit bland.
Doctor: A bit bland..!
Lexi rolls her eyes.
Lexi: Anyway, how’s the project going?
Doctor: Good actually, I’m nearly finished!
Lexi: Oh that's good.
The TARDIS takes off.
Doctor: What?
The Doctor stands up.
Lexi: Doctor, what's going on?
Doctor: I don’t know. Let me check the scanner.
The Doctor reads it.
Doctor: Oh no.
Lexi: What's wrong?
Doctor: It's a teleport beam! (face of realization) Oh of course. It's time.
Lexi: Time for what?
Doctor: My regeneration cycle, it’s finished
Lexi looks scared.
[Scene 7]
The TARDIS lands. The Doctor and Lexi walk out. They look around for a bit but there is no one to be seen until the Monk jumps out of the darkness and grabs the Doctor and puts him in a headlock. He has a gun.
Monk: Stay back, or I’ll shoot. (pointing the gun at Lexi)
The Doctor is struggling to get out of the headlock. Lexi looks startled and scared. The Doctor quickly gets out his sonic and sonics the gun. It sparks and the monk drops the gun and the doctor manages to break free. The Doctor stands in front of Lexi pointing his sonic screwdriver.
Monk: It’s been a while, hasn’t it Doctor? Good to see you’re still as nimble as always.
Doctor: It certainly has.
Lexi: Doctor, do you know this guy?
Doctor: Yes I do. Lexi, meet the Meddling Monk.
Monk:(annoyed) You know no one actually calls me that!
Doctor:(sarcastic) Oh sure!
The monk rolls his eyes.
Doctor: What are you doing here?
Monk: Well Doctor, I may or may not have made a deal with a …. certain someone.
Doctor: Who?
The Rani walks out of the shadows with a dark cloak.
Rani: Why, with me Doctor.
The Doctor has a serious look on his face.
Doctor: Rani, stay back!
Rani: After what you did to me last time! Fat chance.
Doctor: What exactly did I do?
Rani: You let me regenerate! And now this disease is getting even worse.
The Rani moves her hair and behind it is a big purple mark.
Rani: See? It's slowly eating away at me like a parasite. But now, you're going to pay…
The Rani pulls out a Chameleon arch.
Doctor: What is that?
Rani: It’s a portable Chameleon arch.
Doctor: No, It can't be!
Lexi:(scared) Doctor, what's a Chameleon arch?
Doctor:(scared) It's a thing that rewrites biology, it turns a timelord into a human.
The Monk is slowly lurking towards the Doctor.
Rani: Hold him down!
The Monk grabs the Doctor and the Rani puts the chameleon arch on his head. Lexi starts to walk backwards looking scared.
Doctor: No you can’t do this!
The Rani goes over to the Doctor and places the fob watch into a little slot on the chameleon arch.
Doctor: What’s even your plan here?
Rani: Basically, we turn you human, leave you somewhere to rot, suck up all your remaining incarnations, and Presto! Regenerations to last us a lifetime.
Doctor: That's a good plan, but there is a slight flaw. You didn’t tell the Monk what you did to the master, did you?
Monk: What?
Rani: Monk, don’t listen to him. I didn’t do anything to the Master
Doctor: You're not gonna let him have any of my remaining lives.
Rani:(guilt, lying) What, ahh, of course I am.
Doctor: Why? The last time you were on the verge of getting my regnerations you killed the master stone dead, so what's so different with the monk?
Monk: Rani, is this true?
Rani:(guilt, lying) What, Of Course not! I would never-
Doctor: You see that face Monk.
The Monk pays close attention to the Rani’s face.
Doctor: Does that look like a face that’s telling the truth?
The Monk lets the Doctor go. The Doctor goes and stands next to Lexi who looks very scared.
Monk: You were going to betray me?!
Rani: I need all of his incarnations! None to spear! I just needed someone to help me.
The Monk points his gun at the Rani.
Doctor: NO DON’T!
The Monk shoots but misses the Rani. The Rani starts running. The Monk chases after her.
Doctor: Oh, come on!
The Doctor and Lexi give chase.
[Scene 7½]
The Rani runs past the screen with the Monk shorly behind. The Doctor then runs up and stops. Lexi Halts the Doctor.
Lexi: Wait Doctor, Come this way.
Doctor: Why?
Lexi: Just trust me. I’ve got an idea.
Doctor: Ok.
They both run in a different direction.
[Scene 8]
We see a shot of the Rani and the Monk turning into the Inspire Gym car park. We see a shot of the Doctor and Lexi running up the stair by cooks guarden. We see a shot of the Rani and the Monk runing around a corner by inspire gym up to where we are filming. We see the Doctor and Lexi running acoss the path at cooks gardens that lead to the place we are filming. The Rani runs around a corner but sees the Doctor and Lexi running towards her. She turns around and sees the monk running towards her. She runs to a locked gate and tries to open it but its locked. The Monk catches up, the Doctor and Lexi shortly behind. They all halt.
Doctor: That was a lot easier! Thanks Lexi. Now, come on guys, this madness needs to stop!
The Monk still pointing the gun at the Rani.
Monk: NO! The Rani needs to pay.
We see a shot of the rani pressed up against the gate. Looking nervous.
Doctor: No, she’s my responsibility.
Rani: What are you gonna do with me? I’m not going to stay with you in that box if that’s what you think!
Doctor: I shall return you to the shadow proclamation. Its time you actually pay for your crimes.
Rani: No! I’m never going back! You can’t make me!
Doctor: I’m sorry, but that's the way it needs to be.
The Rani remembers something and gives a little smirk.
Rani: You’re wrong Doctor, there’s one more option.
She then presses a button on her time vortex manipulator while laughing. She then vanishes.
Doctor: Oh, NO NO NOO!
Lexi: So is that her gone?
Doctor:(disappointed) For now, yes.
Monk:(nervous) I’d better be off. I’ll see you guys later.
The Monk starts to walk off slowly.
The Doctor turns his head to face the monk.
Doctor: Hey, not so fast!
The Monk stops and looks back at the Doctor.
Doctor: Just because you weren’t the ring leader doesn’t mean you don’t get a punishment.
The Monk smiles and starts running.
Doctor: Oh, come on, not again!
The Doctor starts running and Lexi follows him.
[Scene 9]
The Monk runs up to his TARDIS which is disguised like an old chapel.
Monk: HA! Good luck catching me now Doctor!
He enters it.
[Scene 10]
The Monk walks up to his TARDIS console.
Monk: Goodbye Doctor.
The Monk pulls the dematerialization leaver.
[Scene 11]
His TARDIS starts to vanish. But before it fully disappears the Doctor runs up in view of the Monks TARDIS and pulls out his sonic screwdriver and sonics the Monks TARDIS.
[Scene 12]
The Monk's TARDIS sparks.
Monk: Woah!
His TARDIS quickly starts to land.
Monk: What the hell!?
The Monk goes over to the Door and exits his TARDIS.
[Scene 13]
The monk is standing facing something. We don't know what. But the screen has sparks flying past it and it has an orange tint.
Monk: Oh no you didn’t! Not again! WHY DOES HE ALWAYS DO THIS TO MEEE!!!!
[Scene 14]
Doctor: There we go! No violence needed. You can get out of a problem just by talking.
Lexi: Well, not really. The Monk and the Rani did get away.
Doctor: Yeah, but I don’t think they will be messing with me for a long time. Especially the Monk.
Lexi: Oh, why's that?
Doctor: Before he fully dematerialized, I fried his flight circuit, trapping him along with his TARDIS. Not sure where, but I’m sure the Monk is going to have a fun time getting out.
Lexi: Dematerialize… flight circuit… WHAT?
Doctor: Oh Lexi, I’ve got a lot to teach you. Come on! Back to the TARDIS!
They start to walk off.
[Scene 15]
The Doctor walks up to the TARDIS. He unlocks the door and then opens it. (we can't see what it looks like yet)
Doctor: Awwhaww YES! RE BUILT! You look lovely.
The Doctor smiles and walks in.
Lexi: Woah!
Lexi walks in and we have a good view of the TARDIS.
Lexi: I didn’t know the TARDIS could rebuild itself!
Doctor: Yeah, well the TARDIS can do many things.
The Doctor plays around on the controls.
Lexi: Are you gonna get changed out of those clothes? You look ridiculous! Haha.
Doctor: I mean, I don’t see why not. They’re comfortable enough, even though they are kinda small for me. I might change the dressing gown though.
Lexi: Ok then. (giggles)
Doctor: Anyway, what will you do now?
Lexi: I don’t know. I should probably go and check on Abby. I should also tell her what happened. Then, I don't know. I’ll probably just go home and study more..
Doctor: Oh yep, cool. Unless, you maybe wanted to come with me?
Lexi: What? In the TARDIS with you?
Doctor: I mean, yeah sure. Why not? I recently lost a friend. Her name was Eva. And it’s probably going to get quite lonely around here without her.
Lexi: I’m sorry Doctor, I can’t. I’ve got things to do.
Doctor: By the way, this is a time machine.
Lexi: What? Really? Is there anything this ship can’t do?
Doctor:(laughing a bit) Don’t think so. So what do you say?
Lexi: I mean, sure!
Doctor: Excellent! Off we go then!
Lexi nods. Then the Doctor pulls the TARDIS lever.
[Scene 16]
“One month later”
Ethan is sitting in the sick bay bed eating some food off a tray.
Ethan looks happy. The Doctor walks into the room. He is wearing the same clothes as before but he has his stripy dressing gown on.
Doctor: Hello Sargent Turner.
Ethan: Doctor!
Doctor: How are ya?
Ethan: Really good actually! The Doc said I should be up and on my feet in about a week!
Doctor: That’s great news!
Ethan: Yeah! Oh, uh, what happened with the whole Rani situation?
Doctor: She’s been all sorted, well… for now anyway.
Ethan: Awe, well, that’s good!
Doctor: Yeah. I gotta get going now sorry.
Ethan: Oh, ok. it’s been fun…
Ethan looks down at himself.
Ethan: Well, more freaky than anything. hehe.
Doctor: Ha, yeah. Till the next time?
Ethan: Till the next time, Doctor.
The Doctor nods and then turns to leave. He stops and turns back to Ethan.
Doctor: Oh, one more thing!
Ethan looks at the Doctor.
Doctor: CYA!
Ethan looks confused and weirded out.
Ethan: o-kayyyy?
Ethan gives a confused look. The Doctor smiles and walks off.
Ethan:(mumbles to self) I really hope he never says that again.
