Torchwood/Doctor Who 2020 Special

Chapter 3 - Gallifrey

The master and the cybermen file into the room.

JACK

How do we escape?

THE MASTER

I think she'll be back in...3 minutes? What do you think?

The cybermen don't respond.

THE MASTER

I think 2 minutes is pushing it.

YAZ

We have to get out so we can escape.

JACK

I distract, you run?

YAZ

They'll shoot you.

JACK

And I'll survive.

He steps out of the hiding place.

JACK

Hi there, I'm captain jack harkness.

THE MASTER

Where did you come from?

JACK

A little place called the Boeshane peninsula, you probably haven't heard of it.

Yaz can be seen quietly sneaking off in the background.

THE MASTER

Why are you here?

JACK

I'm looking for the doctor. Have you seen her? I haven't yet, and I'm very excited.

THE MASTER

If you are with the doctor... This you're taking.

JACK

What?

THE MASTER

Your breath.

JACK

Yes?

THE MASTER

It's your last. Bye bye!

Jack is shot by the cybermen and falls. He struggles back up.

JACK

Argh. I'd love to stay, argh, but I'm afraid I can't disturb your meeting with the doctor.

Jack runs off.

THE MASTER

How did he not die?

Jack finds Yaz and they sneak back to watch the Doctor and the Master.

JACK

What are they doing?

YAZ

She needs to wipe out all life on Gallifrey.

JACK

If that includes then we need to get out!

They search for a TARDIS to try and escape in, and eventually come across the Doctor again.

YAZ

Follow the Doctor!

They race after the Doctor and slip through the TARDIS door after her.

INT. TARDIS – DAY

The doctor doesn't notice them as they run to a hallway and hide. Soon the Doctor lands and leaves the TARDIS.

JACK

Do you think she'll be back?

YAZ

Of course not, look at the screen.

Yaz points to the screen on the TARDIS wall which shows what's outside. The Doctors classic blue box stands right outside.

JACK

Well she escaped well! We might as well go to her now and explain, right?

YAZ

Did you travel with the Doctor?

JACK

For a while. But I found out that life on Earth can be just as interesting. I settled down a bit, saved the planet for a couple of centuries. But then a lot of bad stuff happened, I lost my friends, the people I cared about.

YAZ

You need the Doctor more than me!

JACK

Let's go talk to her then.

Excitedly, they run from one TARDIS to the other, pausing in front of the doors for a second.

INT. DOCTOR'S TARDIS – DAY

As they go in, the Doctor teleports at the hands of the Judoon.

YAZ

(shouting)

Where have you taken her?

JUDOON

The Doctor has been taken fugitive for disobeying Gallifreyan law.

JACK

It wasn't her! We demand to stand as witnesses on her trial.

JUDOON

We accept. You will be transported to The Doctors trial.
