One Look And You're Dead
Episode 2
Scene 1 – Arriving
Clara – So where are we this time?
The Doctor – Take a look.
*Clara opens the TARDIS doors and replies to the Doctor;*
Clara – Wow!
The Doctor – What? How can we be here?
Clara – What do you mean? Where are we?
The Doctor – We're on my home planet, Gallifrey.
Clara – Is that good or bad?
The Doctor – Bad; because my home got destroyed. Which means we must be in the
past.
Clara – Shall we go into the city, or shall we leave?
The Doctor – I think it’s best if we leave.
*The Doctor and Clara get into the TARDIS and the Doctor pulls back the lever for the
TARDIS to fly off*
*The TARDIS doesn't move and turns off*
The Doctor – Oh no...
Clara – What?
The Doctor – We're stuck here .
Scene 2 – Back Home
*The Doctor and Clara go to the centre of Gallifrey - to the leaders*
Clara – Where are we going?
The Doctor – We're going to see the leaders of Gallifrey.
*The two walk to the leaders*
Leader – Hello.
The Doctor – Do you remember me?
Leader – Yes, Doctor. I do, there is someone looking into the vortex right now doing the
initiation. Would you like to watch?
The Doctor – Yes, we would love to.
Clara – Doctor, what does he mean "initiation"?
The Doctor – Basically, when you're a child, you look into the vortex and it either
drives you mad. Makes you run away or you're
inspired.
Clara – What did it make you do?
The Doctor – It made me run away. And yet, I still run.
Clara – Anyway, let’s go and see the initiation.
*The Leader speaks to the child looking into the vortex*
Leader – Now child, look into the vortex.
Scene 3 – The Initiation
*The child stares into the vortex*
The Doctor – Let’s hope this goes well.
Clara – What happens if you go mad looking into the
vortex?
The Doctor – I don’t know, since I haven’t gone mad.
Leader – Child, what can you hear? And what can you see?
Child – I can see nothing.
Leader – What can you hear?
Child – Fire...
The Doctor – OK. that’s not normal...
Child – I can see never ending darkness. I can see fire burning in my
eyes.
Clara – Is he going mad?
The Doctor – Even worse; he’s being possessed!
*The child looks into the leader’s assistant's eyes and kills him just by looking at
him*
Leader – What? What’s happening?
The Doctor – Something in the vortex possessed him. But what is it? He killed
someone just by looking at them...
Child – Look into my eyes and see never ending darkness.*The child walks slowly up to
everyone*
Scene 4 – Possessed
The Doctor – No, don’t look at him.
Leader – Child. What have you become?
Child – The darkness.
Clara – Is this the part where we run?
The Doctor – I think so.
The Doctor – Everybody run!
*Everyone runs to the city and get's into the tower locking behind
them*
Child – There’s no point hiding. The darkness will get
you.
*The child bangs on the door trying to get it open*
The Doctor – Everyone up the stairs now.
Leader – Doctor, how are we going to get him back to
normal?
The Doctor – That’s what I need to find out
The Doctor – Maybe if I generate a source from a different vortex, it will reset
the possessed child and bring back the normal one. YES! That’s
it.
The Doctor – Right, I need power.
Leader – Well, we are in the main power source building. There should be a lot of power
here.
*Child breaks through the door*
Scene 5 – The Power Source
The Doctor – He’s got through the door. Everybody, up the stairs
now.
*Everyone goes up the stairs and shuts and locks the door behind them*
The Doctor – We need to get the power source ready for when he gets in here so we
need to be quick. It'll take him 10 minutes to get in here to get through that
door. So we have enough time.
Leader – The vortex has never done this to anyone before. It’s always been a safe thing.
Clara – Why do you need to look into the vortex
anyway?
Leader – To be a proper Time Lord you have to pass the
test.
The Doctor – Anyway, Clara pass me that metal frame.
Clara – What are you going to use it for?
The Doctor – I’m going to generate the vortex back onto the circle frame and make
the child look into it again but this time it will inspire
him.
*Clara gives the Doctor the frame and the Doctor puts energy into the circle with his
Sonic Screwdriver*
The Doctor – Now, if I just use some of the source from the tower and combine it with
my Sonic Screwdriver, then we will have enough power to get the child back to
normal.
Scene 6 – Generating the Vortex
The Doctor – He will be through that door soon. We need to hurry
up!
Leader – What happens if it doesn't work?
The Doctor – It has to work.
Clara – So all we have to do is hope.
The Doctor – Yes! That’s all we can do.
*The child keeps banging the door and says, “The darkness will get you and burn you
right to your heart!” The Doctor uses his screwdriver on the frame*
The Doctor – Come on Sonic work!
Clara – Do we have enough power?
The Doctor – Yes, we have enough. But the problem is it takes a long time to generate
onto the screen.
*The child hits the door and the door rumbles*
The Doctor – Okay, we have about 2 minutes left and the generator takes about 3-4
minutes so here’s what we need to do; Clara, you hold the lock on the left on the
door. And you, Leader of Gallifrey, you hold the middle of the lock. This will bide
enough time for the generator to work and as the child walks through the door, looks
into the door, he'll turn back to normal.
Clara – OK, I’ve got it
Scene 7 – Turning Him Back
*2 minutes later*
The Doctor – Yes, it worked. The vortex is on the
screen.
The Doctor – The Leader and Clara on '3' open the door and let the child in.
1... 2…3! Let him in!
*Clara and the leader of Gallifrey let him in and he walks to the Doctor and looks into
the vortex one last time*
The Doctor – Right, Leader - ask the child what he sees
now.
Leader – Child, what do you see?
Child – I see me going through time and space - seeing all the wonderful planets. This
makes me truly inspired that I want to travel in
space.
The Doctor – We did it, he’s inspired.
Clara – It actually worked
Leader – Child, you passed the test. You may go back to your
home.
Child – Thank you Leader.
*The Child walks away*
Leader – Thank you, Doctor. Without you everyone would be
dead.
The Doctor – No problem. It says it in my name; I make people better.
Scene 8 – Leaving
Gallifrey
The Doctor – Anyway, it's nice coming back home but we must go now. We have places to
go and people to see.
Leader – I’ll see you again sometime Doctor.
Clara – Nice to meet you.
*The Doctor and Clara walk into the TARDIS and close the door behind them. The Doctor
asks Clara something,*
The Doctor – That was truly inspiring don’t you think?
Clara – Yes, the universe is very inspiring. What are you waiting for? Let's go and see
more of it.
The Doctor – On '3'; 1... 2... 3! *The Doctor pulls the lever and they go off in
looking for another wonderful place in the universe.*
