Scene 1
Sarah; Put us into lock down, we need to contain this thing!
Danny; No, well never get out alive, I’m not doing it
Sarah; Do it! Now! or I’ll do it for you!
Danny; we’re going to be possessed by some demon alien thing and you want to lock us in with it?
[Sarah reach’s over and grabs the lock down device, typing in the system code and pressing her hand against the screen, allowing it to scan her fingerprints]
'A loud woman’s voice came over speakersComputer: system shutdown, access denied, please try again later.'
Sarah; damn it! Computer, how can I override to system shut down?
Computer; are you sure you wish to override for a lock down, miss Sarah?
Sarah; yes, do it.
[With a loud whirring sound filled the whole place as it shuddered into silence, plunged into pure darkness as the other members of torchwood four scrambled to the main hub floor]
Sarah; is everyone okay? Everyone here?
Sharon; yeah
John; I’m here…somewhere…can’t see a bloody hand in front of me
Danny; yep, although I think what you just did as our leader was universally stupid!
[Danny Turning around to where he imagined Sarah to be, he carried on.]
Danny; what do you think you were doing? Were stuck in here with a possessing nilea from the planet god-knows-were and you locked us a couple of thousand miles under the sea with it…are you insane?
[Sarah rolled her eyes]
Sarah; your being dramatic, its trapped below us, I MANAGED to shut it down just in time, if it had been up to you it would have escaped.
[Danny could feel the burning look she was giving him as she picked up her mobile, the light lit up the small space as she saw Danny staring at her]
Danny; you think that’s going to work down here?
Sarah; I’m setting it to send a distress signal to torchwood three in Cardiff via satellite, a simple SOS Morse code…smart ass.
[All the team could do was sit tight]
…A hour passed…
Scene 2
[ Scene opens in Cardiff, the Torchwood three hub was buzzing for the first time in a long while but in a in a good way. all taking there time finish a game of basketball and then going into the hubs boardroom and sitting down to a Chinese meal Ianto had ordered in for them]
Jack: so I walked over to the hell bitch from the second dimension and said…
[Jack was cut off by the alarm sounding loudly, all getting up and rushing over, leaving everything where it is and gathered around the computer]
Gwen; what is it jack?
Owen; shouldn’t we be running out the door like mad people?
Jack; shhh![Jack was listened to the sound that a opened message was making on the computer, then after a few minutes Jack grabbed his coat, his gun and called to the others]
Jack: that wasn’t the rift alarm, it was beamed from a satellite …it’s torchwood four in Ireland, they need our help, Gwen, Owen, with me, Ianto and Tosh stay here we need your brains near computers..
Scene 3
[It didn’t take long for them to pull up outside where the signal was coming from.. Jack looked around confused, they were parked on the wooden floor of the Irish coast]
Jack; what the?
Gwen; but I thought you said torchwood four had disappeared?
Jack; and it obviously did, down there…
Owen; well that’s just bloody great that is. How are we supposed to get down there jack?
Tosh; (over the coms) jack?
Jack; yep.
Tosh; I don’t know if this is any good to you but I just did a scan of the Irish sea, its seems there is a sub about 30 feet away from where you are but they are thousands of feet down, and it appears there is no way in and no electrical current coming from that direction, I think they must be locked in jack
Jack: how can we get to them?
Tosh: its not driveable jack, and there wouldn’t be much point anyway.
[Silence fell for a moment as they got out of the SUV]
Tosh; ah jack, you know when you gave me your wristband to look at, to see if I could get it to work again?Jack; yeah? So?
Tosh; well I didn’t get the vortex manipulator part of it to work but I did get another function to work
Jack; which is?
Tosh; it was a teleport function, but it can only take two people at a time maybe you could…
Jack; teleport down there and bring them back up here, toshiko sato you are a genius! Ohhh I could just kiss you! Owen, over here, they might need a doctor down there, gwen stay here and wait for usTosh gave jack the co-ordinates for the sub to type into his wrist strap as him and owen put there hand over it.
[Minutes later they appeared in the hub, jack growling at the pain in his head, wondering while owen wasn’t]
Jack; rough trip ahhgrrr.
Owen; really? Didn’t feel it. Dead, remember.
Jack; more like no sense, no feeling
[Picking the small flash light jack hand tucked in his belt out he shined it around to see four members of torchwood huddled on the floor, screaming as jack shinned the torch in their faces]
Jack; hey its okay! This is doctor owen Harper are any of you injured?
Sarah; no, were all fine, how did you get here?
Jack; got to love teleporting.
[Jack beamed a smile as he tapped at his wrist strap]
scene 4
[Meanwhile back on dry-ish land Gwen was standing, fiddling with the zipper on her coat when she heard a rumbling]
Gwen; what the??...
[Gwen went for her gun and locked it on nothing, turning around, then back again. Something caught the corner of her eye and she stared down into the deep water, watching as what looked like oil started to come to the top, she lent down and waved her hand through it, it didn’t feel any different.She felt something appear behind her, assuming it was jack she talked without turning around until she felt something hit her over the head…once…then again as she tried to get up.The oil-like water had now managed to make its way up onto land and covered the unconscious Gwen, disappearing as she absorbed it, her eyes shooting open, blood red, darting around. Getting up, she dusted herself off]
Gwen; that’s better.
[Gwen’s voice had a slight echo to it but her eyes had now changed back to their beautiful dark green colour.]
[Jack re-appears where the SUV was parked with a member of torchwood four on his arm, funnily enough a gorgeous blonde girl that he chucked his Harkness smile and wink at before he left again to pick up the rest of them up]
[ Now that everyone was on land and safe, Gwen and Owen got back into the SUV while jack made sure everything was okay with the other gang before he got in and began the journey home.]
Scene 5
{On there arriving back at the hub, Gwen had been quiet all the way home, causing jack to link arms with her as they stepped onto the perception filter lift and made there way down]
Jack; (in a mock British accent ) Your quiet this afternoon, Gwenth
[Gwen looked up at him with fire in her eyes and smiled]
Gwen; I’m fine, jack. Just… tired I guess.
Jack; you can get on off home if you want, we’ve only got to right up a report on this ‘nilea’ incident ,and get this for sick, it possesses unconscious or dead bodies, ughh. Anyway, then were done for the day.
Gwen; no, your okay jack, I’ll stick it out[Jack took his coat off and sliding his braces down off his shoulders and made his way into his office to find a hot cup of coffee ianto must of just made for him, smiling to himself he took a sip and sat down sighing and rubbing the back of his neck.]
[Downstairs Owen was writing out the medical report, which didn’t consist of much seeing as he didn’t do much, Tosh was typing up another report of some kind and gwen was just making herself busy in the medical bay]
Gwen; (over the coms) ianto? Come here a minute
[Seconds later ianto appeared holding out a cup of coffee]
Ianto; I assumed this is why you called ma’am. And owen told me to tell you, ‘get your ass up here and do some damn work before he kicks it’ his words, not mine.
[Ianto stood with a half smile as gwen took the mug from him and he began to walk away]
Gwen; wait…ianto…there was something I want to talk to you about…
[Ianto slowly walked over and perched him self on the edge of the autopsy bed]
Gwen; It’s about jack…his past…Ianto; I know what your going to say, con man and all round bad guy but that’s then, this is now. It doesn’t matter to me.
Gwen; but the things he did…he was a bad man ianto… he killed millions of people, tortured then, made then watch their families dye ..he made a little girl watch as he killed her mom…slowly..painfully, the only thing the girl had left in her life…then cut out her tongue so she couldn’t tell anyone…
[Ianto stared at her for a moment as his eyes filled with tears]
Ianto; no… he wouldn’t do that… how do you know this?
Gwen; you saw how close we were getting last year, he told me things…things you could never imagine…
[Ianto slowly got up and smiled bravely, nodding respectfully before walking out the room. A pain shot through Gwen’s head, making her eyes turn blood red again and her voice to echo]
Gwen; fool, dear ianto.. will believe anything…
[Shaking her head as she made her way upstairs again, seemingly normal and walked over to Tosh]
Gwen; a word in your ear tosh?
Tosh; sure.
Gwen;(whisper) I heard owen talking to jack earlier and well… he said…
Tosh; what?
Gwen; I don’t know how to tell you this, tosh but he…he said that he was using you. Taking you for what you had and when you had gave him everything… that would it.
[Much like ianto she simply just nodded]
Gwen; I only told you because you’re my friend, tosh, I wouldn’t want you getting hurt
[ Gwen pulled Tosh into a hug, resting her head over her shoulder she changes again, a laugh rattling through her mind that was so loud you could almost hear it]
[Jack ran down his office steps and bounded over the rails to Ianto]
Jack; thanks for the coffee Yan, just what I needed…Ianto didn’t look up.
Ianto; your welcome, sir.
Jack; come on, what did I say about calling me sir...
[Jack pulled ianto in for a kiss, just for him to pull away quickly and finish wiping over the table he had began to clean]
Jack; what’s the matter Yan?
Ianto; work to do…err…sir.
[Jack looked at him strangely and walked away, shaking his head muttering]
Jack; 21st century men…I’ll never get them.
scene six
Owen; fancy going for a drink later tosh?
Tosh; sorry, I’m busy.
Owen; tomorrow?
[Tosh Walked away with her arms full of files as she stormed past him.]
Tosh; I’m washing my hair.
[An uncomfortable hour had passed, no talking, not even the usual humming that came from jack’s direction. Just nothing. Until a extremely high pitched scream came from the medical bay. It was Gwen, as usual, jack was the first to rush to her, the first to witness her blood red eyes, that slowly slid shut and she went limp in his arms but a strong welsh accent sounded in his head, echoing…]
Gwen; you and your perfect team jack harkness…if you had just left me alone….left me down there…I couldn’t have survived, you created me, captain…[The voice faded]
Jack; OWEN! OWEN? GET DOWN HERE!...
[Jack looked over and saw ianto laying over the other side, he shot up and ran to ianto, leaving gwen on the floor, he was unconscious ….]
