THE GARDEN IS A BEAUTIFUL PLACE FILLED WITH ALIEN FLOWERS AND ALIEN BIRDS, THE SKY IS A PALE GREEN AND A TWO YEAR OLD GIRL CALLED DASSATONIA IS RUNNING AROUND CHASING THE BIRDS

DASSATONIA'S PARENTS ARE WATCHING HER PLAY - DASSATONIA TURNS TO LOOK AT THEM - A LOOK OF HORROR IS ON HER FACE AS A MAN BEHIND HER FATHER TAKES OUT A KNIFE AND STABS HIM IN THE BACK - DASSATONIA'S MOTHER TURNS AROUND JUST AS THE MAN TAKES THE KNIFE OUT OF THE FATHER - DASSATONIA'S MOTHER TRIES TO GRAB THE KNIFE OUT OF HIS HAND, BUT THE MAN STRIKES HER AND THEN STABS HER

INT. PUB - NIGHT

A BUNCH OF PEOPLE ARE IN A PUB, THEY'RE DRINKING, TALKING TO EACH OTHER AND WATCHING TV, SUDDENLY ALL ELECTRICITY GOES OFF

EXT. PUB - DAY

A MAN WALKS UP TO THE PUB, HE PUSHES THE DOOR OPEN AND WALKS IN

INT. PUB

CORPSES ARE LYING ON THE GROUND, SOME ARE SITTING, SLOUCHED ON THE CHAIRS THEY DIED ON

THE MAN WHO JUST WALKED IN, STARES AT THE DEAD BODIES IN DISBELIEF AND THEN STEPS OUTSIDE AND VOMITS

EXT. PAISLEY

THE PUB IS CORDONED OFF (THOUGH NO ONE SEEMS TO BE STANDING ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE POLICE TAPE, A FEW PEOPLE GATHER AROUND THE PUB

A MAN CALLED CHRIS STEVENS WALKS OVER TO THE PUB AND TRIES TO LOOK INSIDE

A BLACK SUV PULLS UP JUST OUTSIDE THE PUB

PETER, DANNY AND GRACE GET OUT OF THE SUV AND WALK OVER TO THE POLICE TAPE - THEY ALL WALK UNDER IT (NOT NOTICING CHRIS)

WHY WHAT HAPPENED

BETH

PETER

WHAT

GRACE

DANNY

SO THEY WERE DRUGGED BEFORE THEY DIED

GRACE

YEAH... BUT THIS SEDATIVE IS POISONOUS

DANNY LOOKS DOWN AT A DEAD MAN LYING ON THE FLOOR - HE HAS A SMALL CHUNK OF FLESH MISSING FROM HIS ARM

DANNY

SO, IF THE ANIMAL DIDN'T KILL THEM THE SEDATIVE WOULD

GRACE

I DON'T THINK IT'S THAT EASY... I THINK WHOEVER KILLED THESE MEN CAN NATURALLY MAKE THE SEDATIVE

INT. STEVENS HOUSE

CHRIS WALKS INTO THE HOUSE AND LOOKS AT HIS MOTHER (RUTH) AND HIS DAD (ED)

CHRIS

CAITLIN

CAITLIN LOOKS AT JON - JON JUMPS ON RUTH AND STARTS RIPPING FLESH FROM HER NECK

ED TRIES TO STOP JON BUT DEREK THROWS HIM TO THE GROUND AND STARTS CLAWING INTO ED'S CHEST - RIPPING OUT CHUNKS OF MEAT

CHRIS RUNS OUT OF THE HOUSE AND CAITLIN DOESN'T TRY TO STOP HIM

INT. PUB

CHRIS

CHRIS LOOKS DOWN AT THE CORPSES ON THE FLOOR

CHRIS

PETER

START AT THE BEGINNING

CHRIS

THERE'S NO TIME, THEY'LL BE HERE ANY MINUTE

CAITLIN, JON AND DEREK ARE WALKING TOWARD THE PUB, THEY'RE FACES LOOK DIFFERENT, ALMOST DISTORTED AND MANGLED

PETER AND DANNY TAKE THEIR GUNS FROM THEIR HOLSTERS AND TAKE AIM AT CAITLIN AND DEREK

PETER (SHOUTING)

YOU'RE UNDER ARREST, GET DOWN ON YOUR KNEES OR WE'LL OPEN FIRE

CHRIS

BULLETS CAN'T HURT... US

DANNY

CHRIS GRABS CAITLIN BY THE THROAT AND RIPS HER HEAD FROM HER BODY

EXT. PAISLEY - NIGHT

CHRIS

I COME FROM A PLANET CALLED UTCHONIS 3, ONE NIGHT A METEOR FELL, ME, MY FRIENDS AND MY SISTER BROUGHT IT HOME... IT INFECTED US WITH SOME KIND OF VIRUS THAT MADE US STRONG BEYOND BELIEF BUT IT CUT OUR LIFE SPAN BY ABOUT 50 YEARS

GRACE

CHRIS

CHRIS

ANYWAY MY SISTER AND MY FRIENDS GOT INTO TROUBLE WITH THEIR ABILITIES... MY PARENTS EVEN GOT INTO SOME TROUBLE AND THAT'S WHEN THE JUDOON STARTED LOOKING FOR US

ARTHUR MCCAUSLAND & HORROR GIRL 28

EXT. A STREET IN GLASGOW - NIGHT

A MAN RUNS DOWN A STREET, HE TAKES A MOBILE PHONE FROM HIS POCKET, STARTS TRYING TO DIAL A NUMBER, A RED BLIP IS ON THE MOBILE SCREEN, HE TRIPS AND THE MOBILE SLIPS OUT OF HIS HANDS - LANDING ON THE GROUND AND BREAKING, THE MAN CRIES OUT BUT KEEPS RUNNING, HE LOOKS BEHIND HIMSELF FOR A SECOND - NO ONE THERE, THEN TURNS BACK TO FIND HIMSELF FACE TO FACE WITH SOMETHING SO TERRIBLE HE FINDS HIMSELF FROZEN WITH FEAR AS A BLACK GLOVE TOUCHES HIS SKIN AND A WAVE OF ELECTRICITY TRAVELS THROUGH HIS BODY, THE MAN TRIES TO SCREAM BUT CAN'T AS HE FALLS TO THE GROUND, THE SOUND OF WHISTLING CAN BE HEARD FROM A DISTANCE

EXT. BOOKSHOP - MORNING

DANNY WALKS DOWN THE STREET, TAKES OUT HIS MOBILE PHONE AND WALKS INTO THE BOOKSHOP

INT. BOOKSHOP

BARRY IS BEHIND THE DESK, IN FRONT OF HIM ARE A MAN AND A WOMAN, ON THE DESK ARE SEVEN BOOKS STACKED UP ON TOP OF EACH OTHER, DANNY LOOKS UP FROM HIS MOBILE AND SEES THE COUPLE, QUICKLY HE PRETENDS TO LOOK AT SOME BOOKS STACKED ON SHELF NEAR BY

THE MAN PAYS FOR THE BOOKS, THE MAN TAKES A FEW BOOKS AND THE WOMAN TAKES THE REST AND THEY LEAVE THE SHOP

DANNY WALKS OVER TO THE DESK

DANNY

I DIDN'T THINK THIS WAS AN ACTUAL BOOKSHOP

BARRY

IT'S PART OF THE SET UP... WE BUY BOOKS IN AND SELL THEM AT REASONABLE PRICES, IT'S BETTER THAN A TOURIST INFORMATION DESK

INT. TORCHWOOD: GLASGOW BASE

THE LIFT DOORS PART AND DANNY STEPS OUT, HE SITS DOWN AT HIS DESK OPPOSITE VICKI

DANNY LOOKS AROUND AT PETER'S OFFICE - NO ONE'S IN

VICKI

HE'S DOWN IN AUTOPSY

DANNY

WHAT HAPPENED

PETER (V.O)

A MAN WAS FOUND DEAD LAST NIGHT

PETER IS STANDING BESIDE THE LIFT TO THE AUTOPSY ROOM

PETER

HE WAS ELECTROCUTED

DANNY

... I'M GUESSING THERE'S MORE TO IT THAN THAT

PETER

HE WAS ELECTROCUTED WITH SOME SORT OF ENERGY WEAPON

VICKI

IT DOESN'T MATCH ANY ENERGY WEAPON TORCHWOOD HAS ENCOUNTERED... ALSO WE FOUND A HAND PRINT ON HIS COAT, IT LOOKED LIKE IT WAS BURNT IN

EXT. AN ALLEYWAY IN GLASGOW

A TEENAGE BOY IS WALKING THROUGH AN ALLEYWAY - HE HEARS HEAVY BREATHING BEHIND HIM, HE TURNS AROUND - NO ONE THERE, HE TURNS BACK AND STARTS WALKING AGAIN, HE HEARS HEAVY BREATHING BEHIND HIM AGAIN, THE BOY TURNS AROUND - NO ONE THERE, TURNS BACK AND ELECTRICITY STARTS TO FLOW THROUGH HIS BODY

INT. TORCHWOOD: GLASGOW BASE

PETER, DANNY AND VICKI ARE SITTING DOWN FACING EACH OTHER

DANNY

WHO WAS THE MAN, WHAT DID HE DO

VICKI

JOHN REILLY... HE OWNED A TOY SHOP

PETER

THERE'S NOT ENOUGH TO GO ON... WE'LL HAVE TO WAIT TO SEE IF ANOTHER VICTIM SPRINGS UP

VICKI

... WE WON'T HAVE TO WAIT LONG, POLICE AND AMBULANCE CALLED... FOR A MAN WHO WAS ELECTROCUTED... NEAR THE STREET THE OTHER ONE WAS FOUND

PETER

TELL THE POLICE AND THE PARAMEDICS TO GO BACK, TORCHWOOD'S GOT THIS ONE

EXT. AN ALLEYWAY IN GLASGOW

PETER AND DANNY ARE STANDING OVER THE MAN'S CORPSE, GRACE GRABS HER CASE OUT OF THE SUV, SHE OPENS THE CASE BESIDE THE CORPSE AND TAKES OUT SOME EQUIPMENT - SHE ATTACHES THE EQUIPMENT TO THE THE CORPSE AND STARTS PRESSING BUTTONS

GRACE

DIED... AN HOUR AGO, CAUSE OF DEATH... ELECTROCUTION, LIKE THE OTHER ONE

DANNY

HUMAN?

GRACE

THIS ONLY WORKS ON HUMANS... WE BETTER GET HIM BACK TO BASE, SO I CAN HAVE A BETTER LOOK AT HIM

INT. TORCHWOOD: GLASGOW BASE

DANNY IS SITTING AT HIS DESK, PLAYING WITH A PAPERWEIGHT, BEHIND HIM, PETER IS ON HIS PHONE, IN HIS OFFICE

INT. TORCHWOOD AUTOPSY ROOM

GRACE IS EXAMINING THE DEAD BODY, USING SOME SORT OF LASER DEVICE, VICKI IS STANDING BESIDE HER

GRACE TURNS OFF THE LASER DEVICE

GRACE

... EXACTLY THE SAME DEATH AS THE OTHER MAN... AND NOT ONE CLUE TO WHO DID IT OR WHY

INT. TORCHWOOD: GLASGOW BASE

PETER, DANNY, GRACE, VICKI AND BARRY ARE SITTING DOWN, VICKI AND BARRY SEEM TO BE WORKING ON SOMETHING

PETER

OVERALL THIS ISN'T GETTING US ANYWHERE... WHATEVER THIS THING IS IT'S A VERY GOOD KILLER... WE HAVE TO STOP IT BEFORE ANYONE ELSE IS KILLED

GRACE

HOW

DANNY

... I THINK I KNOW HOW

EXT. A STREET IN GLASGOW - NIGHT

DANNY IS WALKING DOWN THE SAME STREET THE DEAD MAN WAS RUNNING DOWN ALMOST 24 HOURS AGO

DANNY ACTIVATES HIS COMMUNICATOR

DANNY

SO FAR SO GOOD

GRACE

I STILL HAVE A BAD FEELING ABOUT THIS

DANNY

THE ONLY WAY TO CATCH HIM

DANNY HEARS SOMEONE BREATHING HEAVILY, CLOSE TO HIM, HE TURNS AROUND - NO ONE THERE, HE TURNS BACK AND STARTS WALKING DOWN THE STREET, HE HEARS THE BREATHING AGAIN, HE TURNS AROUND - NO ONE THERE, HE TURNS BACK - A MAN WEARING WHAT LOOKS LIKE A BLACK SUIT AND GAS MASK TRIES TO TOUCH HIM, DANNY BACKS AWAY

DANNY TAKES HIS STUN GUN OFF HIS BELT AND SHOCKS THE MAN, THE MAN FALLS TO THE GROUND, THE MAN STARTS TO HAVE WHAT LOOKS LIKE A SEIZURE OF SOME KIND

DANNY

I'VE GOT HIM

THE SUV DRIVES AROUND THE CORNER AND GRACE GETS OUT, SHE EXAMINES THE MAN, SHE TAKES HIS GAS MASK OFF REVEALING A BURNT FACE THAT DOESN'T LOOK REMOTELY HUMAN

GRACE

THE WRONG KIND OF ELECTRICITY WOULD BE DEADLY TO HIM... I SHOULD HAVE SEEN THIS

PETER

DO YOU KNOW WHAT RACE HE IS

GRACE

HIS SPECIES DOESN'T HAVE A NAME... THEY WERE BRED TO BE THE PERFECT WARRIORS... THEY CAN MAKE ELECTRICITY AND CONTROL IT... THEY'RE BOUNTY HUNTERS

PETER

BUT HE'S BEEN KILLING RANDOMLY

GRACE

MAYBE... OR MAYBE SOMEONE HIRED HIM

DANNY

WHAT ABOUT THE CLOTHES AND GASMASK

GRACE

PROBABLY STOLEN

PETER AND DANNY PUT THE BODY OF THE BOUNTY HUNTER INTO THE BACK OF THE SUV AND DRIVE OFF

A FIGURE STEPS OUT OF THE SHADOWS AND STARTS TO WHISTLE
