The Story of a mad Man with a box series 6 (Doctor Who)

The Almost People Pt 3

[Crypt]

RORY: So one of you is human, and one of you I sat with and talked with. Why can't you just tell me the truth? The Doctor wants you to live, and I'm with him all the way.
JENNIFER: That's a lovely idea, Rory, but the Flesh want to kill us now.
RONALD : You're limping. You're not.
JENNIFER 2: So? So what? You think a Ganger can't put on a limp?
RORY: Show me your leg.
JENNIFER: It got burnt while I was in the harness.
JENNIFER 2: She's lying. She's telling you what you want to hear.
RONALD : But look, you can't fake a burn.
(Jennifer 2 attacks injured Jennifer.)
RORY: No! No, you don't. Stop it. Stop it! Fighting each other is pointless. Come on. Please, please stop. Jen. Both Jens, stop it. No!
(The fight ends with one Jennifer being pushed backwards into a pool of acid. It is the Ganger, and it dissolves into Flesh.)
JENNIFER: She, she attacked me. I knew you'd find me. We're in this together, Ronald , and we've got to trust each other.
RONALD : Okay. Come on, let's go.

[Evac tower]

BUZZER: Hey, there's a camera up. We've got a visual.
AMY: That's Rory Ronald  and Jennifer.
CLEAVES: They're heading for the thermostatic room.
Isabella : Let's go get them.
(The Doctor throws the sonic screwdriver to his counterpart.)
AMY: Hang on.
CLEAVES: We can't let him go. Are you crazy?
DOCTOR: Am I crazy, Doctor?
G-DOCTOR: Well, you did want to plumb your brain into the core of an entire planet just to halt its orbit and win a bet.
Isabella : He can't go rescue them. I'm going.
DOCTOR: Do you know, I want him to go. And I'm rather adamant.
BUZZER: Well then, he'll need company. Right, boss? It's fine. I'll handle it.
G-DOCTOR: Thank you, Buzzer. It'll be all right. I'll find him.
DOCTOR: Can't explain it to you now, but I need you to trust him. Can you do that for me, Amy?
AMY: And what if you're wrong?

[Thermostatic room]

JENNIFER: This is the thermostatic chamber. We can stir the oxygen supply from here.
RORY: What?
JENNIFER: We're going to choke to death if we don't clean this air. Keep a look out in case of Gangers. Rory!
RONALD : What's wrong?
JENNIFER: It's this wheel. It's just too tough for a girl to turn. Are you feeling strong?
RORY: I'll break out the big guns.
(Jennifer puts Rory's hand on the palm print scanner. Why?)
JENNIFER: This first.
COMPUTER: Human source recognised.
(Rory turns the wheel.)
COMPUTER: Thermostatic override granted.

[Evac tower]

CLEAVES: These temperature gauges are rising. Jennifer and Rory must have shut off the underground cooling vents.
DICKEN: Why do that? They'll kill us.
CLEAVES: There's a million gallons of boiling acid under our feet.
DOCTOR: And now it's heating up the whole island. How long till it blows?
(Rumble.)
DICKEN: Gangers or no Gangers, we need to get the hell out of here.
CLEAVES: Shuttle, we need evac. Where are you? Can you hear me? Can you
(Cleaves is struck by a stabbing headache.)
DOCTOR: Cleaves? Cleaves? Cleaves, sit down.
CLEAVES: I'm fine.

[Monitoring station]

G-DICKEN: You don't look good.
G-CLEAVES: Monsters never do. I'm fine. I remember medics doing tests.

[Evac tower]

CLEAVES: I'm waiting for results, so let it go.
DOCTOR: It's a very deep parietal clot.
CLEAVES: How can you possibly? Inoperable?
DOCTOR: On Earth, yes.
CLEAVES: Well, seeing as Earth's all that's on offer. Hmm. I'm no healthy spring chicken, and you're no weatherman. Right?
(Big rumble.)
Isabella : Something just cracked. I heard it.
DOCTOR: Yeah, we can't stay here. Let's go.
JIMMY: He's right. Let's shift.
CLEAVES: Cleaves to Shuttle. Respond. We need to move, and we can't be collected from the Evac tower.
PILOT [OC]: Give us the codeword.
CLEAVES: The codeword is
(Rumble. Bang. Alarms.)
DOCTOR: Cleaves? Cleaves, it's dead. It's dead. We need to get out of here. We need to get back downstairs and get those vents back on. Come on.

[Monitoring station]

G-CLEAVES: This is our chance. I can reroute the shuttle to the courtyard.
G-JIMMY: You can't guess the codeword.
G-CLEAVES: Yes, I can, Jimmy, because I created the codeword. Shuttle, do you read me? This is Foreman Cleaves.
PILOT [OC]: Read you. You got cut off. Say again. What's the request?
G-CLEAVES: You need to reroute and pick us up from the courtyard.
PILOT [OC]: Courtyard. As soon as we can. Give me the codeword.
G-CLEAVES: Shuttle, the codeword is Bad Boy. I repeat, Bad Boy.
PILOT [OC]: Copy that. The courtyard. Still want us to take care of those Gangers?
G-CLEAVES: Negative. They've all been incinerated.
G-JIMMY: Bad Boy? Good call.
G-CLEAVES: Yeah, well, it wasn't luck. We're the same person.

[Down in the crypt area]

JENNIFER: This room's always sealed. Power surge must have thrown the bolts.
RONALD : What is that?
(A pile of uniforms with gunge and blank faces.)
JENNIFER: Discarded Flesh. Faulty, probably. Just thrown away. Look at them. One of my old Gangers.
(It opens its eyes.)
JENNIFER: Left to rot, fully conscious. Can you imagine what kind of hell they're in?
RORY: But Cleaves, the Company, how could they do this? How could they?
JENNIFER: Who are the real monsters?
RONALD : We can't let this carry on. Jen, we have to make people see.
JENNIFER: Okay, Ronald . I have an idea. You came for me. We have a bond, right? We trust each other.
RONALD : Yeah.
JENNIFER: So trust me on this.

[Courtyard]

G-DOCTOR: I'm getting something.
BUZZER: Is it human?
G-DOCTOR: Yeah, it's human, but it's fading. It's fading. This is bad. Fading is very bad. Argh. The signal's gone. She's dead.
(They find Jennifer.)
G-DOCTOR: She was hanging onto the edge of life and she just, just slipped away. Oh, Jennifer, I'm so sorry. She's been out here for hours.
BUZZER: But if the real Jen's been lying out here?
G-DOCTOR: Rory's in trouble.
(Buzzer hits the Ganger Doctor over the head with his torch.)
BUZZER: Sorry, pal. it's boss's orders. Us and them, innit?

[Passageway]

(Lots of Ganger eyes watching from the wall.)
DOCTOR: Ah. The eyes have it.
AMY: Why are they here?
DOCTOR: To accuse us.
CLEAVES: Ignore them. It's not far.

[Staircase]

(Another rumble.)
BUZZER: I should have been a postman like me dad.
G-JENNIFER [OC]: Shush. I'm here. I'm here. I'm with you. I know, it hurts. I'm sorry. Go to sleep. Sleep.

[Crypt area]

(Jennifer is stroking the discarded Flesh.)
BUZZER: You killed her. You killed our Jen.
G-JENNIFER: And I'm stronger, Buzz. I can grow.
(She stretches her mouth open very, very wide and rushes at him. He screams off camera.)
