A bell is tolling faintly in the distance.

Goats amongst a field, we move further until it reaches a church rooftop.

A crucifix.

We keep moving until..

An empty road next to the field, it’s raining.

We move towards the road, and from there footsteps.

A man is walking and the road, we follow him but from above.

EXT. FOREST - NIGHT

The man walks to a forest from he continues walking then stops frozen, in between the trees there appears to be a shadow still amongst them in a human like shape.

PRIESTHello? Hello!

No answer

PRIEST (CONT’D)This is private property, I don’t care who you are or your reason for being here, you are not to be on this property do you understand?

The man becomes slightly uneasy.

PRIEST (CONT’D)You hear me!

He decides to walk up to the shadow and sees a child standing there completely still, and wet.

The priest is shocked.

PRIEST (CONT’D)Hello, are you okay?

The priest touches the child test, he feels how cold he is.

2.

PRIEST (CONT’D)Oh poor child, are you lost, what’d you say I take you somplace warm, would you like that.

The child nods and the man nods in turn smiling.

The priest walks to the kitchen and places a pot on a stove, meanwhile the child is walking explores the house, we walks, almost knowingly, towards the bin and picks out a frame which has a picture of a woman cracked, the man notices him doing this and walks up to the child.

PRIEST (CONT’D)How did you find this? I didn’t tell you to touch anything.

The man takes the frame from the child and silently reflects over it. He then looks at a child confused and angry, the child smiles the man walks back up to the stove.

CUT TO:

INT. HOUSE - LATER

The man has placed two bowls on the table and is enojying his meal.

PRIESTEat.(Gesturing to the child)

The man continues to eat his meal ravenously not waiting for the child’s response. When finished he stands up and slaps his stomach content. The child starts laughing at the man.

PRIEST (CONT’D)What's funny?

The man reciprocates laughter as the childs laughing becomes more intense.

His face drops.

He frozen as the childs laughter erupts into a roar.

MARYYou’re not sleeping well?

DONOVAN(O.C.) (O.C.)No.

Mary looks at her reflection from one of the cups, she realies she's asking herself these questions, not Donovan.

MARY (CONT’D)Give me a minute.

Mary walks outside and to one of the nurses rooms

6.

INT. CLAIRE’S OFFICE - LATER

MARYHi Claire, I was just wondering whether Donovan has been taking his sleeping pills at all?

DONOVANShe’s lying.

MARYNo I don’t think so, why haven’t you been taking your meds DONOVAN?

She takes DONOVAN by the wheelchair and escorts him outside

EXT. HALLWAY - MOMENTS LATER

She slowly moves the wheelchair DONOVAN is in behind her we see two visitors in the background who are talking to the receptionist. Donovan becomes more agitated and starts bounching around in his seat.

MARYDonovan stop it.

Donovan puts his foot on the ground and halts the wheelchair laughing.

MARY (CONT’D)Come on you’re being childish.

One of the nurses walks past

NURSEDo you need any help?

MARYNo I’m fine.

The Nurse walks away.

MARY (CONT’D)You’re just making this more difficult for yourself.

DONOVANBlah Blah Blah!

MARYIf I have to take this in baby steps to-

Donovan slams his head back hitting her in the stomach

DONOVANStupid cow!

8.

MARYRight!

She violently pushes the wheelchair he shakes the wheelchair throwing his head back again and again crying out, Mary stuggles to control the Wheelchair and he falls to the ground.

Mary sighs.

Mary looks behind her and notices the Head of Ward onlooking in the background he pulls his finger back. She’s in trouble. While walking urgently to him she asks one of the nurses to look after Donovan.

HEAD OF WARDOffice.

Mary walks to the office and stands awkwardly

HEAD OF WARDSit.

MARYLook I’m sorry he was being difficult and-

HEAD OF WARDI don’t care, we don’t blame patients here it’s our responsiblity to keep them in check.

MARYI know but..

HEAD OF WARDYou know? This isn’t a case of knowing Mary, we give 100% to our patients, this establishment was built on the foundation of providing the best possible quality of care to our patients and do you think that the people who built this institution would accept this level of conduct.

MARYNo.

9.

HEAD OF WARDExactly, I’ve put a lot of trust in my staff, in You to ensure that that quality is upheld, I don’t want to have to make a decision neither of us would like. You're nice and it's good to be nice, but I'm not bending the rules for you, you can't sweet talk yourself out of your own actions. Again.

Mary becomes worred as she knows what he’s talking about

MARYI understand.

HEAD OF WARDGood. So you’re going to file a report on the incident then you’ll return to me and we’ll discuss this further.

MARYFurther?

HEAD OF WARDThis isn’t the first time Mary and you know that.

The Head of Ward simply smiles.

His beeper in his pocket goes off.

MARYThere was a break out?

The Head of Ward doesn't respond instead his expression becomes more and more worried, a speaker on the wall blares

VOICE(V.O.) (V.O.)There is an extrusion on Level 4. Report.

The Voiceover repeats incessantly

MARYWho is it?

HEAD OF WARD is already running, quickly out of site of MARY

She looks towards the Speaker and decides to follow as she walks through the Ward Hall in one of the rooms out of focus we see a child standing there for a moment.

CUT TO:

INT. RED WING WARD HALL- MOMENTS LATER

The sprinklers are spraying all over the ward the sound of agitated patients louder than ever.

Mary, wet, runs through the hall Nurses are apparently fleeing from the scene Mary catches one of them

MARYWhat's going on?

The Nurse doesn't respond, Mary continues running.

15.

INT. RED WING JUNCTION PATH- MOMENTS LATER

MARY stands for a while in the junction listening to locate the sound, the western junction is producing the most sound; she runs towards it she sees a sign in the hall "HOSPITAL" and enters

INT. HOSPITAL- MOMENTS LATER

DONOVAN(O.C.) (O.C.)I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING! GET OFF ME!

A red light is flashing illuminating the room, Donovan is laying on he ground shaking violently in a pool of blood. Handcuffed. To the right on him is a guard on the ground. Dead. As Mary enters the Head of Ward looks at her. She's in worse than 'trouble' She doesn't bother speaking, she just looks at the body, a group of guards escort DONOVAN away.

A forensics team is taking photos and the Head of Ward exits to speak to the several investigators outside.

From the back door we see a man enter, wearing a black suit. THE DOCTOR. He simply walks up to the body and we hear the all too familiar sound of the screwdriver.

THE DOCTORIt wasn't your patient.

MARYI'm sorry?

THE DOCTORThis man wasn't murdered. And the blood(indicating the bloody ground)

Isn't his.

MARYThen who's is it?

THE DOCTORI don't know. That's always fun.The pressure on his brain was enormous, but this wasn't spontaneous..(Talking to himself)

Hold this

The Doctor hands her the screwdriver she takes it apprehensively.

16.

MARYWhat is this?

THE DOCTOR(Whilst examining the brain)

It's a sonic device capable of penetrating- solid matter.

MARYBut how did he escape, wards are locked 24/7

THE DOCTORThis isn't my hospital.

MARYIt's not mine either but as a Nurse-

THE DOCTORI don't work here either.

MARYSo are you part of the CSI or..

The Doctor scoffs

THE DOCTORI'm a Doctor.

MARYAlright, does The Doctor have a name?

THE DOCTORNo.

Mary laughs not taking him seriously.

MARYOk then Doctor, my name's -

THE DOCTORMary. Your names mary.

She gets a little pissed off, she doesn't like people playing cat and mouse with her, she looks at her name tag knowing that's where he read it off of.

MARYMary Mandleson.

17.

The Doctor opens his hand and Mary passes him back the screwdriver.

THE DOCTORHas there been any strange activity here in the past few months?

MARYWell it's always strange.

THE DOCTORHow so?

MARYThis is a psychiatric hospital.

THE DOCTORYou're not useful at all are you.

The Doctor stands up and walks out, Mary walks up to the body and sees the guard, peaceful, she sees a crucifix hanging out of his pocket. Bloodied. Behind her there is a shadow around six feet. The child.

CUT TO:

HEAD OF WARD(V.O.) We're gonna have to transfer.

INT. HEAD OF WARD ROOM

HEAD OF WARDDonovan's door was unlocked from the outside, we can't entertain the possibility of something like that happening agian and it posed a grave security risk to the hospital. I'd also like you to take a temporary break

We move to see Mary in the Ward Room with the Head of Ward

MARYA break?

HEAD OF WARDYou heard correctly. I feel that it would be best for your own health and well being if you were to-

MARYThis isn't about my well being.

18.

HEAD OF WARDI'm sorry?

MARYYou think that I was involved somehow.

HEAD OF WARDIn no way would I imply something like that.(A beat)

Myself and a confederate of other nurses have decided that your own good it would be best-

MARYIt was Mandy wasn't it, she reported me.

HEAD OF WARDI'm not in a position to discuss that information.

Mary sighs

MARY

(A beat)So what's gonna happen to Donovan?

HEAD OF WARDHe'll have to be moved to Intensive for as long as the case is running, from their it's really the courts decision.

MARYI don't want him moved to intensive.

HEAD OF WARDI'm sorry but guidelines dictate that-

MARYThere's no evidence that he was involved.

HEAD OF WARDAnd how can you make that claim?

MARYBecause I-

19.

The Head of Ward analyses her intensely.

HEAD OF WARDMary is something wrong?

MARYNo.

Head of Ward gives her a curious look

MARY (CONT’D)What

She weakly half laughs

Head of Ward just gives her a look

MARY (CONT’D)I don't I- I'm fine I'm healthy I've been sleeping well

HEAD OF WARDI never said you weren't.

MARY...And now you want me to take a break and I don't see how it's...

HEAD OF WARD-only temporary, we're talking...six weeks give or take.

MARYSix weeks? Six weeks is rent.

HEAD OF WARDThen we'll reimburse.

Mary gives up, she's not getting out of this.

A long beat

EXT. FIELDS

The car tolls along slowly. A gentle clunking across the road.

INT. CAR

Mary's focused on the road.

A series of clunks come from the car.

The sound of a Raven not too far.

Mary concerned but continues driving then a series of sharp jolts bring the car to a stand still.

MARYOh what the hell.

EXT. FIELD - LATER

Mary gets out and walks to the bonnet she opens it and sees nothing indicating a problem, she fiddles with it but then leaves it and walks into the car again.

21.

EXT. FIELD - MOMENTS LATER

She stands by the car and then looks back to see the Asylum around a mile away her vision impaired by the fog surrounding the fields, she sighs and begins walking back along the path to the asylum, a bird comes onto the car and settles itself, just out of view.

CUT TO:

INT. WARD HALL-LATER

Mary stands in the empty hallway, she opens her hands to see a key we follow her walking in the empty corridors

WOMAN(V.O.) (V.O.)Intrusion on level one

Mary walks up to the mainframe, a large tape recorder feeding into a larger receiver

WOMAN(V.O.) (V.O.) (CONT’D)Intrusion on level one

MARYAnd what's that?

The Doctor doesn't answer

MARY (CONT’D)Oh come on, it's only us here I'm not some sort of...spy.

MARYCar's stuck, gotta call someone to pick me up. Speaking of which do you..

THE DOCTORYes.

23.

MARYThen if it's possible would I be-

THE DOCTORI don't think that's such a good idea.

MARYWhy not?

A long beat

THE DOCTORIt's a spaceship(Completely deadpan)

The Doctor just looks at Mary she looks at him completely deadpan

THE DOCTOR (CONT’D)Which happens to travel in Time, Space and alternate dimensions since you asked.

Mary half laughs, then looks at the Doctor sincere and confused

MARYHow do you expect me to believe that?

THE DOCTORYou don't, it's easier that way.

MARYWhat is it with you?

THE DOCTORWhat?

MARYI'm just trying to be..nice.

THE DOCTORNice people are boring.

EXT. HALLWAY- LATER

The Doctor is briskly walking down a hallway with rooms on eihter side, Mary lagging behind.

24.

THE DOCTORIt's just through hereCome on.

INT./EXT. NARROW HALLWAY

Mary follows the Doctor, as she walks the automated lights behind her turn off, she briefly stops at the sound of static, she walks back a few paces and sees a small childs room, lit up by a TV which is projecting a VHS fairly quiet.

WOMAN ON TV(V.O.) (V.O.)That's a lie! You're a liar

MAN ON TV(V.O.) (V.O.)Face it lady you're as guilty as I am!

Mary walks in unafraid walking to turn off the TV.

CHILDDon't.

She turns quickly to see the child sitting on a wooden stool looking passively at the television, Mary looks to him confused.

MARYHello..my name's Mary.

CHILDHello Mary.(innocent)

MAN ON TV(V.O.) (V.O.)You think I trusted you, with my own son?!

MARYI'm so sorry, did no one see you? Did you ask for help?

CHILDThe phone's broken.

MARY(flustered)

CHILDI broke it.

MARYWell that's fine, there's more than one phone in this hospital.

A long beat

CHILDYou left your door open.

MARYWhat?

27.

CHILDI saw you sleeping.

MARYWhen was this?

CHILDYesterday.

MARYMy door was locked.

The child laughs. Mary remains completely sincere.

MARY (CONT’D)I don't think we should talk anymore, I'll take you somewhere and we'll...

The TV volume increases

CHILDI'm staying.

Suddenly a gunshot from the TV mary turns to it quickly a woman on the ground in a pool of blood. Dead. then looks back, the child is gone.

Mary sits there shocked, absolutely terrified, enters THE DOCTOR

THE DOCTORMary what's wrong? Where have you been? Are you alright?

He walks up to her and sees her in great distress, he holds her on her shoulders.

MARYWhy did you take so long.

THE DOCTORIt doesn't matter. What happened.

MARYI feel sick

Mary hobbles to a half open window and vomits

THE DOCTOROh dear.

28.

MARYThere was a kid, I was talking to him he looked lost, then I looked around for a second and he'd dissapeared.

THE DOCTORHow?

MARYJust, he, it felt like he wasn't really there. This is insane.

THE DOCTOR No it's not.

Mary sits holding her head in pain, THE DOCTOR gets excited

THE DOCTOR (CONT’D)Where did he sit, here?

MARYYes, we were talking and -

THE DOCTORYou already said that

He flashes his screwdriver at the seat looks at the results and sighs

THE DOCTOR (CONT’D) That's aggravating.

MARYWhat are you doing?

The doctor doesn't respond.

MARY (CONT’D)Doctor. Tell me.

THE DOCTORYou'll need to trust me, even if you don't believe me.

A long beat

MARYOk. I trust you.

CUT TO

29.

INT. TARDIS LATER

The doctor is placing his screwdriver in the console

MARYI don't believe it.

THE DOCTORYou're so predictable

MARYIf you could go anywhere in time and space as you say then why’d you come here? Really.

THE DOCTORI said before. I was looking for something and I think I've found it. I just need proof.

MARYOf what?

THE DOCTOR The child you said you saw. There's no trace.

MARYYou were aware of it.

THE DOCTORI was aware of something, someone called the TARDIS and it wasn't human, or alive.

MARYSo that's why you have to stay?

THE DOCTORThat's why I have to stay.

MARYSo I was talking to an alien?

THE DOCTORMore than likely.

MARYWow.

The Doctor walks up to her and passes her a strange looking transponder

30.

THE DOCTORYou're going to need to take this, it's a transponder, it should register when you next see the child.

MARY How do you know when I'm going to see it again.

THE DOCTORI don’t, it’s just a theory.

MARYWhat theory?

THE DOCTORMy theory. Come on let's go.

MARYGo.

THE DOCTORYou don't want to go home do you?

MARYNo, of course not, it's exciting.

They both laugh

INT. RECEPTION ROOM

MARYWe're going to have to split up. Cover more ground.

THE DOCTORYou're way ahead of me.

The Doctor throws her a Walkie Talkie

MARYI'll be in touch.

CUT TO

INT. LEISURE ROOM- LATER

Mary walks through the room, postcards littered on the floor, a clock ticks irregularly she looks up to it, the big hand falters ticking forward then coming back to the same place.

31.

She sees a letter on the ground its a postcard, she picks it up and puts it back on the shelf

MARY(Into walkie talkie)

It's funny, I always thought I'd love a break from everyone but I miss them now.

THE DOCTOR(V.O.)Have you found anything?

MARYNothing but the usual.

THE DOCTOR(V.O.)And what's the usual?

A bookshelf fallen onto the ground, a pile of books spread everywhere.

CUT TO:

INT./EXT. RECEPTION ROOM-LATER

MARYNo, nothing here. Yunno I'm starting to think that-

She walks through a door into a door leading to a staircase

INT. STAIRCASE-MOMENTS LATER

She looks down, a long way to walk.

She comes back inside and walks to the lift area.

INT./EXT. LIFT WAITING BAY-MOMENTS LATER

INT. LIFT- MOMENTS LATER

She presses the button for ground floor

CHILD(V.O.)Hello.

The child's voice comes softly out of the speakers.

Mary freezes.

32.

MARYHello who's this?

CHILD(V.O.)You know who it is. I need you to help me.

MARYWhat do you need help with?

CHILDThere's a man here.

Mary opens up the walkie talkie with care, as if the child is watching her as she speaks. She presses the receiving button and pulls it up to her mouth...

MARYWhere is he?

The child doesn't respond.

MARY (CONT’D)Sweetie, where is the man?

CHILDI've found him.

MARYOk sweethart where is he, let's go and find him, let's go and find the man together.

CHILDNo.

MARYWhat's no

CHILDI already know where you are.

MARYHow do you know where I am..(not focused on the child)

She brings the walkie talkie towards her mouth

CHILDI can see you.

Mary freezes with the walkie talkie towards her mouth she looks around for cameras and sees nothing.

33.

CHILD (CONT’D)Who are you talking to?

MARYI'm not talking to anyone honey.

CHILDYes you are. You're talking to the man.

She realises that the lift hasn't moved at all and presses the button again.

CHILD (CONT’D)You're not leaving Mary.

A beat

She slams the door with both hands

She preses the lift buttons more furiously

MARYOpen the door! Please.

Then coming to realising the futility gives up and just stand there.

MARY (CONT’D)What have you done.

CHILDAre you scared of dying Mary? Would you like to die?

Can't decide which line to have, him just straight up telling her he wants to kill her or he questions her in an almost innocent way which could possible terrify her more
