Episode 10 - Dive In

A male voice goes "how much are we talking about here?" a familiar voice says "millions, listen, Mr-" the voice then says "Chris, Chris Vallance" the familiar voice then says "Mr Vallance, implant these AI chips into your cleaners nationwide, and they will work perfectly, trust me".

Inside a room inside Vallance Industries, Chris stands holding an AI chip, and The Master stands in front of him smiling. Chris then says "how do I know you're telling the truth?" The Master then laughs "test it out yourself". Chris then looks over at a Cleaner, it's half the size of a Golf Buggy.

Chris then presses onto the top of the Cleaner, where a compartment opens, Chris then puts the AI chip inside the Cleaner and he then closes the compartment.

A red light then light's up, indicating eyes.

Chris looks at The Master, The Master nods at him. Chris then looks back at the Cleaner and says "clean my office". The Cleaner turns and looks at The Master, then back at Chris and a robotic voice then says "clean office, affirmative".

The Cleaner then starts to clean up the office, cleaning the windows, changing the bin.

Chris stands there smiling and he looks at The Master "what was your name?" The Master smiles at him, Chris stares at him and he then says "millions you said? So how much are you wanting in return?". The Master shakes his head "no money, just know that when the time comes, you've done a great job". Chris then smiles at him "millions for me? Then I'll accept" The Master smiles.

Around a table, Maya, Todd, Emma, and Greg sit together eating toast. Maya smiles at Greg.

The Doctor then walks over to them, Maya looks up and she smiles "sleep well in a normal bed?" The Doctor nods "yeah, it was actually pretty comfy" Maya smiles at him "here, have some breakfast" The Doctor smiles "ah-". The Doctor sits beside Emma, and he looks at her "I love toast" Emma smiles at him "you're The Doctor!" The Doctor smiles at her "yeah, I am".

Todd then says "Maya told us some stories, she won't tell us everything, but she traveled with you?" The Doctor stares at him until Maya says "yeah, traveled around the country, saw amazing things" The Doctor nods "yeah, we did" Greg looks at The Doctor "come on, eat up".

Later on, Karla and Frank walk into the house holding a massive box.

Maya stands up "mum? What is that?" Karla then smiles "well, I was going to keep it away and have it as a family Christmas present but I decided that I think we'll open it now.

The Doctor, Maya, Greg, Todd, Emma, Karla, and Frank stand around the box.

Frank then says "ready?" The Doctor looks at him cautiously.

Frank then opens up the box, revealing a Cleaner.

The Doctor then stares at it. Emma starts to laugh as she pokes the Cleaner.

Karla says "they released it a few days ago, it's completely AI, you tell it what to clean and it does it" The Doctor nods at her "does it really?" Maya looks at The Doctor "what's wrong with that?" The Doctor shakes his head "nothing, just saying is all...I'd be careful...very careful".

Frank then looks at an instruction manual and he then says "right...the on button is-".

Frank then presses a button, and the Cleaner lights up red.

The Doctor pulls his sonic screwdriver out until Karla says "clean up the kitchen".

The Cleaner looks at Karla and then says in its robotic voice "clean kitchen, affirmative".

The Doctor watches the Cleaner moving towards the kitchen and he sighs.

The Doctor then says "be careful with AI, you never know if they understand a command".

(Commercial Break)

On the TV, a news reporter stands outside a house and says "just five hours after their initial release, Vallance Industries' revolutionary Cleaners have seemed to malfunction, as in this home behind me, the homeowner was one of the first to purchase a Cleaner, and was later murdered by it, Vallance Industries has apologised to the family, offering them thousands of compensation money, Vallance Industries is currently looking into the death, but has said this is a one-off malfunction, thank you for listening, more updates are sure to be followed up later today".

The Doctor then turns off the TV and he nods "I knew it-" Maya then sighs "they said it was a one-off malfunction-" The Doctor then turns to Maya and says "this kind of thing is too advanced for your planet, someday you'll have robots, but not yet, this kind of thing...it's alien, I can just feel it, something inside me can just tell it's wrong" Maya then sighs, The Doctor stares at her "what?" Maya then says "I never told Todd about us, about the aliens, because I thought he'd think I'm mad, I wanted to get away from this life, it was amazing, but it was heartbreaking" The Doctor stares at her "I know, I'm sorry" Maya then looks at Emma, who is sat playing with Greg and Todd. Maya then turns to The Doctor "let's go" The Doctor stares at her "where?".

As Maya grabs her coat, she then looks at The Doctor "to Vallance Industries, I know you want too" The Doctor smiles at her "alright then". Maya looks over at Greg and Todd "we'll be back soon". Greg looks at her "want me to come?" Maya then says "best you stay here, keep an eye on that Cleaner" Greg nods at her and The Doctor "be careful" The Doctor smiles at him "we will".

As The Doctor and Maya leave, Todd sits there looking at the door, he then turns to Greg and says "so? You gonna tell me?" Greg smiles at him "what do you mean?" Todd then says "The Doctor, who's he really? Something's really off about that man, who is he? Where's he from?".

Behind Greg and Todd, the Cleaner stops, and it turns around, looking at them both.

Outside, in the back garden, Karla and Frank both sit together sunbathing.

Karla then looks at Frank "what do you think about The Doctor being back?" Frank looks at her "I'm glad, I really am" Karla nods at him and she smiles "me too" Frank smiles at her.

(Commercial Break)

Entering Vallance Industries, The Doctor and Maya walk up to the main desk, and The Doctor flashes his psychic paper at a woman "The Doctor, health and safety, I'm here to have a word with-" The Doctor stands there staring at her until he sees the name "Chris Vallance".

The woman then looks on her computer "I don't have an appointment-" Maya then smiles at The Doctor, and she looks at the woman "what's that behind you?" the woman then turns around, as The Doctor points his sonic at the computer, and he sonics the computer.

The woman turns around and says "it's an early model of the Cleaners-" the woman then looks at the computer "oh, wait...I do have an appointment, apologies, you can go right up".

Chris sits in his office, his leg shakes and he bites his fingernails nervously.

The Doctor and Maya enter the room, Chris then says "who are you? What do you want?".

The Doctor sees a Cleaner in the room, The Doctor then says "I'm The Doctor, and I want to know how you were able to create this machine" Chris shakes his head "I don't know, the scientists did-" The Doctor shakes his head "no, AI like this? This is an advanced technology, and this-".

A man then enters the room and says "Mr Vallance, you might want to check the news".

Chris then turns the TV on where a news reporter stands outside another house "some breaking news for everyone today, another four people have been confirmed dead and confirmed to have been murdered by Vallance Industries' Cleaners, the government have called that all people with Cleaners inside their households deactivates them immediately, they are a danger to life!".

The Doctor then turns around and looks at Chris, Maya then looks at Chris in shock.

Chris shakes his head "but-" The Doctor then slams his hands onto Chris' desk "HOW DID YOU CREATE THESE CLEANERS? PEOPLE HAVE DIED NOW, SO ENOUGH WITH THE LYING!" Chris stares at him "he-he, told me-" Maya then says "who told you?" Chris says "the man, he said I'd make millions!" The Doctor looks at him and he says "what man?" Chris shakes his head "he didn't tell me his name, he didn't tell me that they'd kill!" Maya then says "I need to warn Todd and Greg!".

Back inside the Redburn's house, Greg's phone starts to ring on the table, but he's not there.

(Commercial Break)

Outside, Greg walks over to Karla and Frank whilst Todd sits with Emma in the grass.

The Cleaner cuts some bushes in the garden, not far from Todd and Emma.

Karla then says "Cleaner, cut grass, after your current job is complete".

The Cleaner then turns and looks at Karla "cut grass after current job, affirmative".

Karla then looks at Greg "I don't know what The Doctor was worried about, they're perfectly fine" Greg then nods "actually, I better give them a ring, see where they are".

Greg then walks into the house, and he sees his phone on the table, and he picks it up.

Back at Vallance Industries, The Doctor then says "how did these Cleaners learn how to kill?" Chris then says "I DON'T KNOW! I designed the model, but they weren't created to kill!".

Maya then turns around and she looks at a Cleaner that is sat in a charging pod glowing red.

The Doctor then says "just think! There must have been something to have caused this-".

As Maya turns around and looks at Chris, the Cleaner behind them then activates, and it then says "kill, kill, The Doctor, affirmative". The Doctor turns around in shock.

Inside the Redburn's house, Greg then looks at his phone, where he sees five missed calls from Maya. Greg then clicks on the missed calls, where he hears a voicemail from Maya which says "Greg? Greg! Listen to me, the Cleaners have killed people, they're dangerous, keep everyone away from our one, and deactivate it!" Greg then stands there in shock.

Outside, the Cleaner turns to Todd and Emma and it says "kill, kill humans, affirmative".

Todd then stares in shock as Karla and Frank look over horrified.

Greg then runs outside "GET AWAY FROM IT!". Frank then shouts "IT'S GONNA KILL THEM".

Back at Vallance Industries, the Cleaner moves towards them, The Doctor then pulls Maya behind him, The Doctor pulls his sonic screwdriver out, pointing it at the Cleaner "tell me who you're working for" the Cleaner continues to move towards The Doctor, The Doctor then sighs and he sonics the Cleaner, and its head explodes, leaving smoke pouring out of it.

(Commercial Break)

The news reporter is back on TV and stands in a field, the news reporter says "more breaking news, a further seven deaths have been confirmed, the government continues to urge people to deactivate or destroy any Cleaner's from Vallance Industries, they're highly dangerous!".

The Doctor blows away some of the smoke from the Cleaner, and he opens up a compartment, The Doctor looks inside and he pulls out the AI chip. The Doctor then says "bingo!" Chris then says "what's wrong with that?" Maya looks at The Doctor. The Doctor then says "this is-" The Doctor's face then drops "this is Timelord technology, but it's been reprogrammed, programmed to kill!" Maya then says "The Rani?" The Doctor looks at her and he goes to respond until a loud siren starts to blare from the Cleaner. Maya holds her ears and shouts "WHAT IS THAT?" Chris stares in shock "IT'S THE SECURITY ALARM! WHEN A CLEANER IS AT RISK OF BEING HACKED, THEY GO INTO SHUTDOWN MODE!" Maya then looks at The Doctor who then says "all the Cleaners are about to shut down and turn into killing machines!".

Around the country, Cleaners start to attack people, using hedge trimmers, razors, brooms to kill. People scream, running from their homes as Cleaners also leave, coming after them.

Outside, Emma screams as the Cleaner comes towards them, Greg then runs over to it, but he gets hit around the head by the Cleaner, knocking him out to the floor, Frank shouts "GREG!".

The Doctor then holds the AI chip and says "come on, come on!" Maya says "what're you doing?" The Doctor smiles at her "something clever" Maya looks at Chris, who is nervous.

The news reporter is back on TV and says "this is more breaking news, every Cleaner around the country seems to be attacking any living person, where you can leave your homes and seek shelter where no Cleaners are present, and stay away from ALL CLEANERS!".

In the garden, the Cleaner then repeats "kill, kill humans, affirmative". Karla screams "NO!".

Todd then backs him and Emma into a wall and they stand there terrified as the Cleaner gets closer, and closer to them. Greg then opens his eyes, looking at the Cleaner in shock.

(Commercial Break)

The Doctor pushes his sonic screwdriver into the AI Chip and he starts to scream as the sonic starts to smoke. But as he continues, suddenly the siren stops, and all the Cleaners also stop.

Maya then looks at The Doctor "what did you do?" The Doctor laughs "killed the AI, killing them all" Maya smiles at The Doctor and she starts to laughs "oh my god!" Chris then says "they were worth millions!" The Doctor glares at him "millions of pounds isn't worth a single life lost!".

In the garden, Todd takes a deep breath as the Cleaner sits there dead. Greg then walks over and he presses the deactivate button on the Cleaner. Todd then looks at Greg "what the hell!".

Karla then looks at Frank "you think I'll get my money back for that? It costs a lot of money".

Greg walks out of the house, standing near the Tardis as The Doctor and Maya walk over laughing together. Greg then smiles "that's a sight I haven't seen in a very long time" Maya then nods "it was amazing!" The Doctor nods "yeah it was, how is everyone inside there?" Greg nods "it tried to kill us, but we're all okay" The Doctor nods at him "good, everything's good then".

Maya then nods at him "so? What happens now?" The Doctor stares at her "well, I suppose I get into the Tardis and I go" Maya nods at him "alone?" The Doctor nods "yeah" Greg looks at Maya.

Maya looks at Greg, then at her house, but then back at The Doctor "I can't do this anymore, I have a family" The Doctor stares at her "I know" Maya nods at The Doctor, but she then says "but, after today, I wondered if maybe we could have one last trip?" The Doctor then laughs "well I'm not going to say no to that, am I?" Maya smiles at him and she looks at Greg "come on".

Maya and Greg both enter the Tardis, and as they enter the Tardis, Maya smiles as she looks at the console room "I missed this place" The Doctor nods at her "she missed you too".

Outside the Tardis, the exterior then starts to dematerialise, until it vanishes.

Back at Vallance Industries, Chris watches a detective leave the room, but suddenly, The Master then enters. Chris glares at him "YOU TRICKED ME!" The Master smiles "I told you when the time comes, you've done a great job, now The Doctor's back with his friends, that's good".

Next Time:

The planet Harband is seen from a distance in space, a large piece of rock flies through space, towards the planet of Harband.

Continuing the voice-over, Hicks says "Harband was inhabited by ghastly beasts and this rock, it hit into the planet, into this planet-".

The Doctor, Maya and Greg follow Hicks into the shed, where they see dozens of plants.

Maya then smiles as the plants are covered in glitter, making them sparkle.

A voice is heard saying "hungry, so hungry, hunger, food, I need...it's too late, the food-".

The Doctor then says "if you come out, maybe I can help you, my name is The Doctor".

Louis then says "alright, Doctor, see if you can help me!".

Louis steps out of the shadows, his whole body is purple, his teeth are razor-sharp, there are four horns on his head, and his arms have spikes all over them and he says "I am so hungry".

Next Time - Hunger of Louis Vannia - Arriving on the oldest planet in the universe, Harband, The Doctor introduces Maya and Greg to one of the most inspirational men to live on the planet until they realise he can't die and is feeding on something, not of his planet that's keeping him alive.
