The Price of Death Part 1 by Mark Flude

*Time to introduce another new guest writer to our ever growing team of talent, and I hope we will be seeing more of this one. Introducing Mark Flude with his story for the First Doctor, Ben and Polly, which continues next Saturday! Enjoy!*

EXT. PRICE SLASHER - DAY The Tardis materialises outside a tall glass pyramid structure surrounded by spaceships in a huge spaceport. INT. CONSOLE ROOM Ben and Polly look up at the scanner as the Doctor attends to the console. POLLY Where are we? DOCTOR We shall know in a moment my dear. The Doctor turns on the scanner but it picks up static. DOCTOR (CONT'D) I really must get that scanner eye properly mended one of these days. The Doctor flicks a series of switches. POLLY Look, there's something coming through. The static clears and ambient music begins to play. ANNOUNCER Welcome and thank you for choosing Price Slasher, intergalactic retailer for the third year in a row. Ben chuckles. BEN It's an advert. The Doctor shushes him as various images of a huge supermarket appear on screen. ANNOUNCER We have lots of great deals for you to choose from in store today. POLLY Look at the size of that place. 2. DOCTOR Yes, truly an impressive piece of architecture. ANNOUNCER When ready please disembark from your craft and let one of our friendly staff assist you, Price Slasher, more than you might think. The static returns and the Doctor turns off the scanner. DOCTOR Well that looks very interesting, hum, very interesting indeed. I think a little shopping trip maybe in order. Polly looks excited. POLLY Oh yes please. BEN Just hold on a minute, I thought we were trying to get back to nineteen sixty six? DOCTOR My dear young man, outthere is something the likes of which you've undoubtedly never seen before and may never see again once we leave here. Are you really going to exclude yourself from this once in a lifetime opportunity? Hum. POLLY I want to get home just as much you but the Doctor's right, when are we ever going to have a chance to see something like this again? BEN Alright then, but as long you make sure you try and get us back to nineteen sixty six. The Doctor opens the doors. DOCTOR Oh do stop worrying my child, all in good time. 3. The trio exit the Tardis. INT. PRICE SLASHER ENTRANCE - DAY Humanoids and various other lifeforms move around the store pushing trolleys and chatting while the Doctor, Ben and Polly enter through the sliding doors. POLLY This place is incredible. They watch as a small blue alien drives past them in an advanced looking mobility scooter. ANNOUNCER Cleaning droid to aisle one thousand and sixty four please, that's a cleaning droid to aisle one thousand and sixty four, thank you! The trio continue looking around, Ben picks up a banana from a large plastic container filled with them. BEN Blimey, I remember when we were still on rations. DOCTOR Truly a consumer society. Ben puts the banana down and examines a small label on the front of the container. BEN Not bad for twenty Nargs, how ever much that is. POLLY Are you looking to buy anything in particular Doctor? DOCTOR Well my dear since I so rarely seem to carry any sort of currency I'm afraid we shall just have to merely observe the goods on offer. POLLY Looks like we're window shopping then. 4. COREEN (26) wearing a battered fedora and carrying a worn brown satchel emerges from one of the aisles walking towards the entrance followed closely by a security guard. COREEN You touch me and I swear I won't responsible for my actions. The trio all turn and watch. BEN What do you think that's about? POLLY Well whatever it is I'm sure we shouldn't pry. Coreen stops in front of the entrance and turns around to face the security guard. COREEN You people make me sick. GUARD We can either do this the easy way or the hard way, your choice. COREEN Make you feel big does it, threatening a woman? DOCTOR Actually, I think on this occasion we should perhaps intervene. The Doctor walks over followed by Ben and Polly. GUARD All complaints about my conduct can be filed with the customer service team online. COREEN You lot have an answer for everything, don't ya? DOCTOR Pardon my intrusion but I couldn't help but overhear, may I be of any assistance? GUARD Please return to your shopping sir, I can deal with this. 5. COREEN Don't want any witnesses more like, what are ya going to do to them then hey? BEN What's she talking about? GUARD Please leave before I am forced to call for backup. COREEN Now just listen here you... DOCTOR Not to worry my boy, I can take charge from here. The Doctor leads Coreen away from the guard. COREEN Hey, what do you think you're doing? Get your hands off me! DOCTOR (Whispers) Just follow my lead. COREEN What? DOCTOR No need for alarm, I'll take charge of her from here! COREEN I said let go of me! Ben and Polly watch as the Doctor continues to escort her away. BEN We should probably go with him. Polly glances at the guard. POLLY Are you just going to let him take her? GUARD If he thinks he can handle her then good luck to him. 6. Polly sighs. POLLY Come on. Ben and Polly follow the Doctor. POLLY (CONT'D) Why can't we ever land somewhere peaceful? INT. CAFÉ - DAY Customers are sat at tables chatting and eating meals served to them by robots. The Doctor, Ben, Polly and Coreen are sat at a table togther. DOCTOR Now my dear, if you've quite calmed yourself perhaps we can talk. COREEN What's it got to do with you anyway? DOCTOR Well quite frankly my dear I suppose it's none of my business at all, but I am something of a doctor and when I see someone clearly in distress such as yourself, well I feel obliged to make it my business. COREEN Interfere more like, I'm perfectly capable of taking care of myself ya know. BEN Hey, he's only trying to help. POLLY Yeah, he's right, if it wasn't for the Doctor you'd have been thrown out by now. The least you can do is listen to what he has to say. Coreen glances at the trio curiously. COREEN Why should I trust you? 7. DOCTOR Well you have no reason at all, after all me and my companions are strangers to you, but if you give us a chance, we might be able to help you. COREEN For all I know you could be working for them. BEN Who? COREEN The people who run this place, you could be trying to silence me or something. DOCTOR My dear lady, do we look like spies or supermarket employees? COREEN I suppose not. POLLY And if we were wouldn't the Doctor have just let you be thrown outside? COREEN Ok, say I was to believe ya, how can I trust ya? DOCTOR Well let's start at the beginning shall we, I am the Doctor and these are my travelling companions, Benjamin and Polly... Ben looks annoyed. BEN It's Ben! The Doctor glances at him. DOCTOR What? Ben sighs. 8. BEN Never mind. DOCTOR Well anyway, why don't you start by telling us your name? Hum. COREEN Alright then, I'm Coreen, I'm a bit of traveller too myself. DOCTOR Then that's one thing we have in common already my dear. POLLY Yes, and he means it. DOCTOR Please, do continue. COREEN Well I'm more of an explorer really and for the last few years I've been looking for a ship that went missing in this part of the galaxy sometime ago. I've been searching for the remains, so far I've not had much luck then I came here to this planet and found this place, like it had just been built overnight. Since the company that owns this place bought the planet I had to get permission from them first in order to carry on the search. Ground x-rays, permission to dig, recovery of anything found, all of that but they were having none of it. POLLY Why? COREEN That's what I wondered, I couldn't see why they'd have such a big issue with it really, I mean after all it seemed like it could be a good bit of publicity for them but they still said no. Then that's when I started thinking, wondering what they were trying to hide. (MORE) 9. COREEN (CONT'D) I did some digging, not that kind but the other kind and that's when I found out one of my old mates from school was working here. So I got in touch with her and persuaded her to do a bit of digging around herself for me. DOCTOR And that's why you were here, you were looking for her? COREEN We arranged to meet, she said she'd found something, something big by the sounds of it, but she wouldn't tell me what it was incase anyone was listening in, so we just said we'd meet at the usual place but she never turned up. DOCTOR And you think she may have come to some harm? COREEN Well yeah, that's why I came here looking for her but they said she'd just left, gone home one day and never came back. BEN Maybe she got scared. COREEN That's what I thought, but she wasn't easily scared believe me. I tried her home address too but apparently no one's seen her around there in days. DOCTOR Well by the sounds of it my dear you're certainly right to be concerned. POLLY Isn't there anything we can do to help? BEN Yeah, there must be something we can do. 10. DOCTOR Leave it to me my child, I'm sure we can think of something if we put our heads together, after all, four heads are better than one. Coreen looks surprised. COREEN You mean it? DOCTOR My dear they don't call me the Doctor for nothing you know. COREEN This still doesn't mean I trust ya though. DOCTOR Well that's perfectly understandable my dear under the circumstances, but rest assured, if something is going on here and your friend is involved, we'll get to the bottom of it. INT. MANAGER'S OFFICE - DAY VIOLA (44) a well dressed woman with a beehive hairstyle is sat at a desk typing on an advanced looking but small computer. A buzzer sounds and Viola holds a button down on the top of her desk. VIOLA Yes? GUARD (O.S) Visitor for you. Viola looks confused. VIOLA I don't have any appointments. GUARD (O.S) I know but I'm afraid he was rather insistent. 11. DOCTOR (O.S) Oh really young man, do stop wasting our time like this and just open the doors. VIOLA Send him in. Viola releases the button and the set of double doors in front of her open. The Doctor walks in followed closely by Coreen who both stand in front of the desk as the doors close behind them. Viola glances at Coreen and sighs. VIOLA (CONT'D) You again? Really this is getting quite ridiculous now. DOCTOR I have been asked to speak on my client's behalf. VIOLA Client? DOCTOR Yes and my services have been requested by this young lady to assist in locating a friend of hers. VIOLA And you are... DOCTOR I am generally known as the Doctor. VIOLA Oh, a physician, well that's certainly original I must say. DOCTOR That maybe my title but I am more... what you might term... a freelance investigator. 12. VIOLA Well Doctor, as I have already explained to your client here more than once I fail to see how we can offer you much assistance, after all we do tend to fire our employees who decide to stop showing up for work. DOCTOR And I'm sure if that's true and you have nothing to hide you won't mind us taking a look around your store? VIOLA Out of the question. Coreen looks irritated. COREEN If you've got nothing to hide then what harm could it do? VIOLA I thought you weren't talking? COREEN I'm just sick of all this bureaucracy and going around in circles. DOCTOR What my client is trying to say is if what you say is true, and you and your company really do having nothing to hide, then I'm sure a look around your establishment could do no harm. Viola looks thoughtfully at the Doctor for a moment. VIOLA Can I see some ID? DOCTOR My dear child I have no need of such things as ID I assure you. VIOLA Without ID I can't... The Doctor looks frustrated. 13. DOCTOR Oh really, do stop this nonsense! Now are you going to let us take a look around your store or do we have to seek a higher authority? Hum. There is silence for a moment as Viola looks increasingly annoyed. VIOLA Very well, in the spirit of transparency and since we really do as you'll soon discover have nothing to hide, I suppose a look around our store should cause no harm. The Doctor and Coreen look pleased. VIOLA (CONT'D) But I'll be keeping an eye on you. Viola opens the top draw of her desk. VIOLA (CONT'D) And you're required to wear these at all times. She takes two white bracelets out of the draw and hands one each to the Doctor and Coreen. VIOLA (CONT'D) For security, can't have you wandering off on your own now can we? The Doctor and Coreen both put their bracelets on. DOCTOR Well I must say that's very civil of you. VIOLA And you're to report to security straight away, the guard will show you the way. Viola presses another button on the desk and the doors open. DOCTOR Come along my child. The Doctor and Coreen begin to walk away. 14. VIOLA Oh and Doctor. The Doctor and Coreen both stop and turn around. VIOLA (CONT'D) Do take care, we'd hate for anyone to get hurt in store today. The Doctor looking concerned leads Coreen out of the room. The doors close behind them and Viola presses a switch on the advanced looking watch she is wearing. VIOLA (CONT'D) Jarvis? JARVIS (O.S) Yes mam? VIOLA They're two strangers heading your way, keep an eye on them for me. JARVIS (O.S) Yes mam. VIOLA Oh and Jarvis... if they should discover anything... unpleasant... make sure you deal with them. JARVIS (O.S) Yes mam. VIOLA Good. Viola smiles deviously. INT. PRICE SLASHER AISLE FOUR HUNDRED - DAY Ben is stood looking at a large flat screen TV in amazement which is displaying various images of wildlife. Polly is stood beside him watching an array of customers pass her pushing trolleys. BEN I wish we had this back home, can you imagine, colour TV? 15. POLLY You remember what the Doctor said, we're here to look for anything suspicious, not watch TV all day. BEN He just told us to do that so we wouldn't get in the way. POLLY He asked us because he trusts us. Polly notices UMA (27) wearing a boiler suit with the company logo on the front pushing a large picking trolley down the aisle. POLLY (CONT'D) Let's try asking her. Polly walks over to Uma followed by Ben a moment later. POLLY (CONT'D) Excuse me. Uma stops and smiles at the pair. UMA Yes, how I can help? POLLY Well we're looking for a friend of ours, we heard she'd been working here until recently and we were wondering if you might know where she'd gone? UMA You're not with that archaeologist or whatever she is are you? POLLY Well sort of, we're just trying to find out what's happened to her friend you see. UMA Well a lot of people come and go here, but most people tend to hand in their notice before they leave and at least say goodbye first, but she was different. POLLY How do you mean? 16. UMA She just stopped turning up one day. BEN Have you got any idea why? UMA No, it wasn't like her, she was always asking for overtime and finishing late to help put all the deliveries away. She was in warehouse one since this place first started. She was saving to finish putting herself through flight school, she was always going on about being a pilot. BEN Do you think that's where she might have gone? UMA Well I'm sure she would have at least mentioned it to me first, we used to chat online a lot with each other until she just seemed to drop off the radar. Ben looks confused. BEN Online? UMA Yeah, you know... online. Ben and Polly glance at each other in confusion. UMA (CONT'D) You have heard of online before, right? POLLY We're a little out of touch. BEN Yeah you could say that. UMA Blimey, you must be. A beeping sound emanates from a pricing gun placed on top of the trolley. 17. Uma glances at it nervously. UMA (CONT'D) I'm sorry I really need to be getting back to work now. Uma quickly walks away pushing the trolley. POLLY Ok, well thank you! The pair watch her curiously. BEN Now what? POLLY Now we take a look inside that warehouse. INT. SECURITY SUITE - DAY The security guard leads the Doctor and Coreen inside the room. They look around amazed by the size of the room which is dark and filled with guards sat at desks monitoring the store through CCTV. JARVIS (42) wearing a black security uniform stands and watches the Doctor and Coreen intently. COREEN Big enough for ya? Jarvis approaches them and holds out his hand. JARVIS You must be the Doctor and Coreen, we've been expecting you. The pair each shake his hand and watch him curiously. JARVIS (CONT'D) So what can I do for you? DOCTOR Well my boy I would be particularly interested in examining your close circuit television, especially for... The Doctor glances at Coreen. 18. DOCTOR (CONT'D) Where was it again? COREEN Warehouse one, that's where she used to work. JARVIS I'm afraid that's not possible. DOCTOR And why ever not? JARVIS Technical difficulties. COREEN Sounds about right. DOCTOR What sort of technical difficulties? JARVIS The feed from that warehouse is down, we've ongoing work to try and repair it. DOCTOR That seems awfully convenient for you. JARVIS Not at all, in fact until it's repaired the entire place has had to be shutdown until further notice just until we get it back up and running again, for security reasons, I'm sure you'll understand. DOCTOR Well it seems I have no choice. Coreen notices a digital layout of the store on one of the computer screens. COREEN What's that? JARVIS What's what? 19. COREEN That over there. Jarvis glances behind him and sees the digital map of the store. JARVIS Oh, that's just a layout of the store. COREEN Yeah, I know that, but what's that bit underneath? The Doctor looks at it curiously. JARVIS That's the latest edition to our store, coming soon, it's currently under construction at the moment. DOCTOR Well may we take a look? JARVIS I'm afraid not, health and safety and all that, but you're still welcome to take a look around the rest of our store. Just make sure you don't wander too far, it's easy to become lost in a place like this. The Doctor glares at Jarvis. DOCTOR Very well, come along my dear. The Doctor walks towards the exit followed closely by Coreen. COREEN (Whispers) Did you buy that? DOCTOR (Whispers) Not for a moment. INT. CORRIDOR ONE - DAY At the end of the corridor two staff members walk past. Ben and Polly step out from hiding behind a corner. They each take a high visibility jacket off a hook beside them. 20. POLLY Do you think this'll work? They each put the jackets on. BEN I'm telling you it's fool proof, no one'll give us a second glance dressed like this. The pair make their way towards a large sliding silver door at the end of the corridor. POLLY I hope you're right. BEN Well it was your idea. POLLY I know, but I dread to think how they deal with trespassers here. They stop in front of the door and look at a sign which reads "Strictly no admittance". BEN Friendly aren't they? Ben unlocks the door. BEN (CONT'D) Right, come on then. He slides the door open which is clearly heavy. INT. WAREHOUSE ONE - DAY Ben and Polly cautiously make their way inside the vast room which is filled with a maze of metal crates stacked on top of each other. BEN Blimey, you could fit half of London in here. Polly notices a large pile of white powder on the floor. POLLY Hey, look at this. She kneels over and prepares to touch it. 21. BEN No leave it, we've got no idea what that stuff could be. Polly stands up. POLLY Well why don't you start at the far end? and I'll take a look around here. BEN Sure thing duchess. POLLY And stop calling me duchess. Ben smiles at Polly before walking away. BEN Call if you need me. Polly shakes her head with a slight smirk on her face and begins examining a set of crates beside her. In the shadows a large creature hisses. Polly moves over to examine an empty picking trolley watched by a pair of bloodshot eyes from the shadows. Ben notices a crack in the wall above a large crate which is placed against it. He examines the crack and pushes the crate out of the way revealing a large imperfectly built hole in the wall. BEN (CONT'D) Here, come take a look at this. POLLY What? BEN This over here. Polly walks in the direction of Ben's voice POLLY This had better be worth it. The creature slowly emerges from the shadows revealing two large sets of claws and black fur. Polly suddenly screams in terror, Ben races towards her looking worried. 22. He emerges from behind a stack of crates to find Polly clinging onto a chain hanging from a hook on the ceiling. Underneath her is an extremely large aggressive rat trying to scratch and bite her. POLLY (CONT'D) BEN! QUICK! DO SOMETHING! Polly tries to climb further up the chain but the hook begins to breakaway from the ceiling. BEN HANG ON! Polly looks up in terror at the ceiling. POLLY HURRY! Ben quickly glances around and notices an empty picking trolley. He quickly grabs the trolley and charges towards the rat. He crashes into the side of the rat and lets go of the trolley causing it to crush the rat against the wall. Polly jumps down from the chain, Ben rushes over to her looking concerned. BEN Are you hurt? POLLY No, I'm fine... I think. The Hook breaks away from the ceiling, Ben glances up and quickly drags Polly away. BEN LOOK OUT! The pair move just in time as the chain and the hook come crashing down to the ground. The Doctor enters with Coreen. DOCTOR And just what on Earth is going on in here? Polly and Ben both look relieved to see him. 23. POLLY Oh it was horrible, this thing just attacked me out of nowhere. Coreen cautiously pushes the picking trolley out of the way revealing the dead rat crushed against the wall. The Doctor takes a closer look while Ben stands back with Polly and holds her. COREEN Never seen a rat that size before. BEN How can that thing be a rat? I mean just look at it, it's huge. DOCTOR Well my boy it certainly appears to be one, but admittedly it's unlike any I've ever seen before. The Doctor looks at Ben and Polly curiously. DOCTOR (CONT'D) Now you say this creature attacked you? POLLY I just turned around and it was there charging towards me. DOCTOR Well that's unusual for a start, rats are normally very timid creatures, more afraid of us than we are of them. BEN Well that one didn't seem too afraid to me. The Doctor begins pacing around the room. DOCTOR First the disappearance of that young lady and now this. COREEN This must be what she wanted to talk to me about. I think it's about time I had it out with that manager once and for all. 24. Coreen walks towards the door watched by the trio. DOCTOR No, wait, we can't go confronting her without anything concrete. BEN Well that dead thing over there seems pretty concrete to me. DOCTOR Yes, but it still doesn't prove they had anything to do with the disappearance of that young girl. There must be something else here. BEN Well there's that hole over there. The Doctor looks at Ben curiously. DOCTOR Show me. Ben leads the group over to the hole in the wall. BEN It's just over there. The Doctor examines it. DOCTOR Well it appears to go on for some distance, they must be coming from somewhere else but where? COREEN That bit underneath they said we couldn't see. DOCTOR Yes, that must be it! The Doctor takes off his bracelet. DOCTOR (CONT'D) Hand me yours, quickly child. Coreen hands him her bracelet and he places them on top of a crate. DOCTOR (CONT'D) There, now I suggest we go take a look. 25. COREEN But surley they can still see us on camera? DOCTOR Oh I wouldn't worry about that my child, I suspect they'll be far too preoccupied trying to catch shoplifters than to be monitoring us all the time. INT. SECURITY SUITE - DAY Jarvis watches the group exit the warehouse on a computer screen in front of him. INT. CONSTRUCTION SITE - DAY A service lift descends, the Doctor, Coreen, Ben and Polly all step out. BEN Anyone got a light? The lights around them all suddenly switch on one by one. BEN (CONT'D) Must be something I said. The Doctor walks over to a large metal door embedded in the rock at the far end of the tunnel. The others follow him walking past drilling equipment littered around them. POLLY Keep an eye out for anymore of those... things. BEN Don't worry, I'll protect you duchess. The Doctor examines the door. DOCTOR Hermetically sealed. Coreen takes an ID card out of her satchel and approaches the door. 26. DOCTOR (CONT'D) It would take some considerable force to open a door like... Coreen places the ID card on a small panel on the door and it slides open. DOCTOR (CONT'D) This. The trio watch Coreen curiously who walks through the door. INT. SPACESHIP LOADING BAY - DAY Coreen looks around at the pile of overturned crates and debris. The trio enter and begin looking around curiously. POLLY What is this place? DOCTOR Some sort of ship no doubt, but you already knew that, didn't you? The Doctor watches Coreen as she picks up a shattered photo frame with a picture of a young girl and a man smiling inside. DOCTOR (CONT'D) Because this is the ship you've been searching for, isn't it? And I assume that card you used to open the door was some sort of ID card? Coreen examines the picture with a tear in her eye. COREEN It belonged to my father, it were a spare I found in his study after his ship went missing. Polly notices an open door leading to another room which she enters. DOCTOR And that's why you've been searching for it, all this time. COREEN They sent rescue ships to try and find them but I couldn't rest until I knew for certain what happened to him. (MORE) 27. COREEN (CONT'D) It was killing me not knowing, the thought that he might still be outthere somewhere, stranded, just waiting to be rescued. He was all I had left after my mum died. I spent the rest of my childhood in a home waiting, just hoping that one day he would turn up to take me home. Ben approaches Coreen and rests an hand on her shoulder. BEN I know what it's like to lose your old man, never gets any easier. The Doctor begins examining a broken microscope on the floor. DOCTOR Tell me, what line of work was your father in? COREEN He was a geneticist, I used to ask him about it but I never really understand what he was on about half the time. Ben looks around. BEN Here, where's Polly? Polly screams loudly in the next room, everyone drops everything and rushes inside. INT. SPACESHIP STORAGE AREA - DAY Polly is stood at the far end of the room which is filled with rats, some large and some small. The Doctor, Coreen and Ben all enter the room and look horrified to see the creatures. Ben quickly grabs Polly and pulls her out of the room. INT. SPACESHIP LOADING BAY - DAY The group all quickly leave the other room and the Doctor seals the door. The Doctor examines Polly. 28. DOCTOR Are you alright my child? POLLY I'm fine, it just startled me when the lights came on. They all gather round the window and watch the rats inside. COREEN There must be hundreds in there. DOCTOR Yes and likely more elsewhere. BEN But if this is where they came from, how did they get out of the ship? DOCTOR Presumably after it crashed they were the only survivors left onboard and overtime found another way out. POLLY But why are they so big? DOCTOR And so aggressive too you might ask. Coreen looks at the Doctor worryingly. COREEN Ya don't think? The Doctor looks sympathetically at Coreen. DOCTOR I'm afraid it would appear so. Coreen looks horrified, Ben and Polly look at them both curiously. POLLY What would? COREEN These creatures, they must have been part of my father's research. Ben looks shocked. 29. BEN You're saying he made those things? POLLY But why? VIOLA That's a good question. The group quickly turn around to see Viola, Jarvis and a group of armed guards stood in the hatchway. VIOLA (CONT'D) Thank you for opening the door by the way. Coreen looks angry. COREEN You knew about this, didn't ya? this is what you were hiding all along. VIOLA Well you can imagine the scandal if this were to become public knowledge. POLLY If what did? DOCTOR If people were to discover that you built your store without conducting the proper checks first. Because if you did you would have found this place. VIOLA You're smarter than you look. DOCTOR And you would have discovered a rat infestation before building your store and endangering all those lives. Coreen looks concerned. COREEN That's what happened to her isn't it? She stumbled on your little secret so you killed her? 30. VIOLA She was already dead by the time we found her, bitten by one of those things, we just made sure no one would find her. The Doctor looks angry. POLLY You're a monster. BEN But how come you didn't notice them when you were building the store? COREEN I said it was like it had been built overnight. VIOLA Or lowered down from orbit. DOCTOR You should be ashamed of yourself, putting profit before the lives of other people. Rest assured, you won't get away with this. VIOLA Oh I don't think so, Jarvis, if you please. JARVIS Ready... The guards ready their guns. JARVIS (CONT'D) Aim... The Doctor, Coreen, Ben and Polly all look worried. DOCTOR No, wait. JARVIS Fire. The guards fire laser beams at the group who all collapse. TO BE CONTINUED
