The Guardian
2.11 - The Gallifreyan Days

----


1. INT: TARDIS - CONSOLE ROOM
[THE GUARDIAN and SARAH are standing right up at the console, watching the Time Rotor go up and down.

TARDIS V/O
Guardian, where would you like to go?

THE GUARDIAN
Just spin around the moon for a while, I am sure we can both do with a small break.

TARDIS V/O
As you wish.

THE GUARDIAN
Well then, you get free time. Go off and do what you want, go swimming or you could read a book. Whatever you want as you deserve it. Or you could go out to the large room with the window and you can see all eight planets, Sarah.

SARAH
Aren't there nine?

THE GUARDIAN
Pluto is debatable, it’s more a dwarf planet.

SARAH
Oh, right.

[THE GUARDIAN walks over to a seat and sits on it. SARAH is standing looking at him.]

THE GUARDIAN
What? Something wrong? Do you want to go somewhere different?

SARAH
It's just, I don't really know much about you.

THE GUARDIAN
You know my name and that I'm a Time Lord and that I travel around the universe saving planets from evil. What more do you want to know?

SARAH
More. I want to know more about you. What was your childhood like, who your friends were, did you have siblings? I want to get to know you in more depth.

THE GUARDIAN
My past?
[Beat. On THE GUARDIAN, thinking, remembering.]
Why think about the past when there is the present and the future. You need to let go and live life to the full. Never, ever look back at the stuff you did when you were younger.

[THE GUARDIAN moves past SARAH and looks at the TARDIS console. Suddenly the TARDIS jerks and the power cuts out. The whole room is in darkness. THE GUARDIAN and SARAH have fallen to the floor.]

SARAH
Wait, what's happening?

THE GUARDIAN
We're falling... or maybe crashing. TARDIS, what is happening?

[There is no reply from the TARDIS.]

SARAH
What is happening? Why isn’t the TARDIS replying?

THE GUARDIAN
The power has gone and we are falling.


CUT TO:

2. CGI: SPACE

[A view of the Moon and Earth. Falling towards Earth is the TARDIS, flipping and smoking. We see it spin into Earth's atmosphere.]

CUT TO:

3. INT: TARDIS - CONTROL ROOM

[THE GUARDIAN and SARAH are holding on for dear life!]

SARAH [panicking, screaming]
Can’t you stop it?

THE GUARDIAN
No...I do not know what it is doing it, but we are about to crash...

[THE GUARDIAN and SARAH fly back across the room as the TARDIS crash lands.

We pan out to see the TARDIS pitch black - only a faint glow coming from somewhere beneath the floor, enough to see - with THE GUARDIAN and SARAH unconscious on the floor. Silence.]

CUT TO:


CUT TO:

4. EXT: GALLIFREY - OUTSIDE THE CATHEDRAL

[CAPTION: "897 YEARS AGO". A little boy, about 10, is sitting on the steps of a large cathedral, it’s old and has a strange design. The orange sky lights up the ground.]

BOY
Why are those two always late?

[Another two boys are now walking up to where the other boy was. The BOY looks up.]

BOY
Doctor! Master!

[The other two boys are now running.]

DOCTOR
Guardian!

[GUARDIAN stands up.]

GUARDIAN
You both took your time.

[THE DOCTOR and THE MASTER stop.]

DOCTOR
Sorry, the Master was taking a while to come out.

GUARDIAN
You planning to take over Gallifrey again, Master?

MASTER
Ha. You are funny. Like I would ever do that.

[The three laugh.]

DOCTOR
So then, why did you want us to come out?

GUARDIAN
I wanted us to go and see the naming ceremony.

DOCTOR
Oh. Is that on, today?

GUARDIAN
Yeah, those who are leaving the academy this year get to chose their titles I got told Serard is going to call himself God.

MASTER
Why did Serard get through to the end?

GUARDIAN
Who knows but we better move quick, it starts soon.

[The three run up the stairs into the Cathedral.]

CUT TO:

5. INT: GALLIFREY, CATHEDRAL - THIRD FLOOR

[THE GUARDIAN, THE DOCTOR and THE MASTER are standing leaning on railings on the third platform, watching the ceremony take place. A grand chamber, vast and imperial. There are a large amount of teenagers standing around a large light spiral.]

GUARDIAN
I cannot wait to be able to choose my name.

DOCTOR
Same here, if I’m honest.

MASTER
I'm going to be called, The Master.

GUARDIAN
Basically just our nicknames, we are going to name ourselves after, right?

MASTER
Yes, that is about right.

[THE DOCTOR looks down and, notices someone familiar.]

DOCTOR
Guardian, isn't that your brother?

[THE GUARDIAN and THE MASTER both look closely.]

GUARDIAN
Yes, it is. I forgot, this was his final year at the academy. I wonder what he will call himself.

[The three stare right down and listen in.]

TIME LORD #1
You have successfully completed your time at the Academy. You are now free to travel the universe but not to intervene, the rules of time forbid it. Now it is time, young ones, time to choose your names and become Timelords and Ladys.

[THE GUARDIAN’S BROTHER moves up first in front of the Matrix.]

THE GUARDIAN’S BROTHER
I hereby place my allegiance to follow and preserve the name of the Time Lords and the Laws of Time. From this I choose the name... The Saviour.

[THE GUARDIAN smiles.]

GUARDIAN
He always said he liked that name. That was his nickname from us, remember?

DOCTOR
Yes, because he saved us from the groups of year 10’s.

MASTER
And I will be called, The Master!

DOCTOR
Living in a daydream again, Master?

MASTER
No. Never.

[As they are looking down, THE SAVIOUR looks up and waves. The three wave back.]

CUT TO:

6. EXT: GALLIFREY - OUTSIDE THE CATHEDRAL

[THE GUARDIAN, THE DOCTOR and THE MASTER are standing at the bottom of the steps.]

THE GUARDIAN
Well I guess that's that. My brother has graduated.

[THE SAVIOUR walks out the Cathedral door and comes down the steps and stops at THE GUARDIAN.]

THE SAVIOUR
Hello little guy. So then, what did you think of the graduation and my name?

THE GUARDIAN
Brilliant! We were just going to go for a walk over to the Infinite Tower. Want to come?

THE SAVIOUR
Yes. The Infinite Tower, where all the Time Lord legends are kept.

GUARDIAN
Except Rassilon, the founder of the Time Lords.

THE SAVIOUR
He has his own tomb in the Death Zone.

CUT TO:

7. INT: GALLIFREY - INFINITE TOWER

[The four are standing over a grand tomb. The inscription reads 'In memory of Omega, founder of time travel'.]

MASTER
Wow. The tomb of Omega!

[THE MASTER bows at the tomb.]

THE MASTER
He truly was one of the greatest legends. Come on, he found time travel.

THE DOCTOR
Yes, he did. We are grateful for that.

THE SAVIOUR
Little guy, can I talk to you?

THE GUARDIAN
Yes. What is it?

[THE SAVIOUR pulls THE GUARDIAN aside.]

THE SAVIOUR
Listen, I have put your name down for the Gallifreyan swordsmanship.

THE GUARDIAN
Really?

THE SAVIOUR
Yes. Don't tell Mum yet. You know what she would be like.

THE GUARDIAN
Yeah. Thank you.

[GUARDIAN and THE SAVIOUR hug. After a couple of seconds they retreat. They go back over to THE DOCTOR and THE MASTER.]

THE DOCTOR
Well?
THE GUARDIAN
I have been signed up for the Gallifreyan swordsmanship.

[THE DOCTOR and THE MASTER look at THE SAVIOUR.]

THE SAVIOUR
I signed him up for it. Thought he would like it.

THE GUARDIAN
I do. I can’t wait to get started! Doctor, you have never been very fond of swords and guns have you?

THE DOCTOR
No. I would only use a sword if my life depends on it, but not a gun.

THE MASTER
I would use a gun.

THE GUARDIAN [laughing]
We know that.

[THE MASTER looks at THE GUARDIAN, annoyed.]

THE GUARDIAN
Just saying.

[THE GUARDIAN walks over to a big window and looks out it.]

THE GUARDIAN [cont.]
Amazing, isn't it, this view.

[THE DOCTOR and THE SAVIOUR walk over.]

THE DOCTOR
Gallifrey is beautiful.

THE GUARDIAN
Right, better get going, Mum is just a bit much if I'm late.

THE DOCTOR
Yeah, same.

THE SAVIOUR
Coming Master?

MASTER
No. It is okay, I am going to stay here for a little while. I think it’s better if I have some time alone to think.

THE SAVIOUR
You be careful, you know your Father's high up in the Council.

MASTER
I'll just be here, I swear.

[THE DOCTOR and THE GUARDIAN wave. The three exit, leaving THE MASTER on his own.]

THE MASTER [muttering, to himself]
The Universe is an infinitely large place, it’s huge and it needs a ruler and maybe one day that could be me.

[THE MASTER walks over to the big window and stares out, watching THE GUARDIAN, THE DOCTOR and THE SAVIOUR walking along the path, going home.]

CUT TO:

8. EXT: GALLIFREY - BACK OF THE GUARDIAN'S HOUSE

[THE GUARDIAN and THE SAVIOUR are sitting down on a hill looking down at the large city below. Both of Gallifrey’s suns are setting in the distance.]

GUARDIAN
This landscape is beautiful.

THE SAVIOUR
There is no place like it really... Well there's Earth.

[THE GUARDIAN gives THE SAVIOUR a strange look.]

THE GUARDIAN
Earth?

THE SAVIOUR
Well Sol 3 to you lot, but to me it is planet Earth.

THE GUARDIAN
So you learned about Earth?

THE SAVIOUR
I didn’t just learn about it, I visited it. It’s amazing, the whole planet is full of life. There are people there, human beings and they are some of the most amazing creatures ever!

THE GUARDIAN
Will I ever get to meet these Humans?

THE SAVIOUR
One day maybe, if you carry on and go on and study Earth.

[THE SAVIOUR grabs THE GUARDIAN and starts to rub his hair affectionately.]

THE GUARDIAN
Oi! Get off! I'll tell Mum!

THE SAVIOUR
You little wimp.

[THE SAVIOUR throws himself and GUARDIAN down the grass hill. They both roll until they reach the bottom where together they sit and laugh.]

THE GUARDIAN
I hope this never ends.

THE SAVIOUR
Me too, little man, me too.

[THE GUARDIAN moves over and sits next to his brother looking up at the stars above.]

CUT TO:

9. INT: TARDIS - CONTROL ROOM [PRESENT DAY]

[THE GUARDIAN wakes up, breathing heavily.]

THE GUARDIAN
What the hell was that?

[THE GUARDIAN gets up to see the TARDIS in almost total darkness. Smoke is rising out the console, just sitting in the air.]

THE GUARDIAN [CONT.]
This can’t be good...this really can’t be good.

[THE GUARDIAN looks down to see SARAH unconscious on the floor.]

THE GUARDIAN [CONT.]
Sarah? Oh I am so sorry.

[THE GUARDIAN leans down to look at SARAH.]

THE GUARDIAN [CONT.]
Please don’t die, Sarah. Sarah. Please don’t die.

[There is a loud sound and THE GUARDIAN gets up to see the TARDIS door swung open and a bright white light is slowly creeping in.]

THE GUARDIAN [CONT.]
What now?

WOMAN [V/O]
Sleep now my Guardian... Sleep...

[THE GUARDIAN falls uncontrollably back to the floor, asleep.]

FADE TO:

10. INT: GUARDIAN'S HOUSE - BEDROOM [897 YEARS AGO]

[THE GUARDIAN wakes up, sweating about the dream he just had.]

THE GUARDIAN
Is that me in the future?

[THE GUARDIAN looks over to the door to see a shadow under it.]

GUARDIAN [nervously]
Mum, is that you?

[The door opens and THE SAVIOUR’S head pops in.]

THE SAVIOUR
Shut your trap.

THE GUARDIAN
What are you doing up?

THE SAVIOUR
Me and a few of the people need to do something. Something that needs to be done.

THE GUARDIAN
But Mum will notice.

THE SAVIOUR
I will be back really soon, I swear no-one will know I have disappeared, as long as you keep quiet.

THE GUARDIAN
Okay. Don't be too long though. I don't want you to get in trouble.

THE SAVIOUR
I won’t little man. You know me. I am never in trouble.

[THE SAVIOUR winks at THE GUARDIAN, who smiles in return.]

THE GUARDIAN
Goodnight brother.

THE SAVIOUR
Night little man. Sleep tight.

[THE GUARDIAN falls back asleep, while THE SAVIOUR closes the bedroom door.]
CUT TO:

11. INT: GALLIFREY, CATHEDRAL - GROUND FLOOR

[A group of Time Lords including THE SAVIOUR are standing in circle formation talking, waiting for someone.]

THE SAVIOUR
What do you think we are needed for?

THE WHO
Who knows?

THE SAVIOUR
Not you for one.

THE WHO
Who?

THE SAVIOUR
You, Who.

THE AVENGER
Now I see how he got his name.

THE CHANCELLOR [OOV]
My Lords Saviour, Who and Avenger. I'm glad you could make it.


[THE SAVIOUR, THE WHO and THE AVENGER turn around to face THE CHANCELLOR.]

THE SAVIOUR
Why did you bring us here?

THE CHANCELLOR
Your service is needed. What do you know of the Daleks?

THE AVENGER
They are ruthless and don’t know the meaning of mercy.

THE CHANCELLOR
Yes. We are in need of you three to help us against them. They are trying to start a war. You three need to go and stop it. Every decade we send Time Lords to foil their plans. To stop their creation. We have failed in stopping their creation. We need your help this time.

CUT TO:

12. INT: GALLIFREY, CATHEDRAL - SECOND FLOOR

[THE GUARDIAN is hiding behind a pillar looking down on the conversation, listening in...]

THE GUARDIAN [whispering]
The Daleks. But he can’t. He could die.


CUT TO:

13. INT: GALLIFREY, CATHEDRAL - GROUND FLOOR

THE CHANCELLOR
So do you accept?

THE WHO
Yes my Lord Chancellor, I do.

THE AVENGER
I am at your service, my Lord Chancellor.

THE SAVIOUR
I...I...

GUARDIAN [emerging from an entrance]
No, brother!

[THE SAVIOUR turns around and looks at THE GUARDIAN.]

THE SAVIOUR
Guardian! What are you doing here? I thought I told you to go back to sleep!

GUARDIAN
I thought you were going to get yourself in trouble. Brother you can’t go. The Daleks will kill you.

[THE SAVIOUR walks up to THE GUARDIAN and takes a hold of him.]

THE SAVIOUR
Trust me little man. I know what I’m doing. I’m your big brother, nothing is going to happen to me.

THE GUARDIAN
Okay. I trust you, brother.

THE SAVIOUR
Good. Now go home and get back to bed, before Mother notices your missing. After what happened to Dad all those years ago...

THE GUARDIAN
Yes... Goodbye brother.

THE SAVIOUR
Goodnight little man.

[THE SAVIOUR lets THE GUARDIAN go. He turns around and walks out the door, walking home.]

THE CHANCELLOR
Should he be walking home himself?

THE SAVIOUR
Of course. He’s Guardian, my brother. Nothing scares him.

THE CHANCELLOR
Okay. So your answer...

THE SAVIOUR
Yes. You have my wisdom, my Lord Chancellor.

THE AVENGER
That shouldn’t be much then.

THE WHO
We’re doomed.

THE CHANCELLOR
Now, now. The Saviour got higher test marks than you two put together. Your mission starts tomorrow. Get a good nights sleep, then assemble here tomorrow. May the luck of Rassilon be with you.

CUT TO:

14. INT: GALLIFREY, CATHEDRAL - GROUND FLOOR

[CAPTION: "8 YEARS LATER". THE GUARDIAN, THE DOCTOR and THE MASTER are standing on the platform. other graduates are standing at the sides of it. TIME LORD #1 is addressing the crowd.]

TIME LORD #1
My Lords and Ladies, we are gathered here for the graduation of our new Timelords. The ceremony of choosing the name will now begin. Will the first three graduates please step forward.


[THE GUARDIAN, THE MASTER and THE DOCTOR step forward. TIME LORD #1 turns around to face them.]

TIME LORD #1
Stand in front of the Matrix.

[THE GUARDIAN, THE MASTER and THE DOCTOR stand in front of the Matrix.]

TIME LORD #1
You have successfully completed your time at the Academy. You are now free to travel the universe but not to intervene, the Laws of Time forbid it. Now it is time, young ones, time to choose your name and become a Time Lord.

THE GUARDIAN / THE DOCTOR / THE MASTER
I here by place my allegiance to follow and reserve the name of the Timelords and the laws of time. From this I choose the name -

THE MASTER
The Master.

THE DOCTOR
The Doctor.

THE GUARDIAN
The Guardian.

TIME LORD #1
Lord Master, Lord Doctor and Lord Guardian. In the name of our founder Rassilon, I hereby decree you three as official Time Lords. Congratulations.

[THE DOCTOR and THE MASTER are happy, but THE GUARDIAN looks depressed. THE DOCTOR notices.]

THE DOCTOR
What’s wrong, Guardian?

THE GUARDIAN
I wish my brother could have been here to see this.

THE DOCTOR
You know he was pronounced dead.

THE GUARDIAN
But, he could not have been! He is a Time Lord! We regenerate!

THE CHANCELLOR
Sometimes we can't regenerate soon enough. I'm sorry.

VOICE [at the doors]
And sometimes we can!

[Everyone looks, THE SAVIOUR is walking towards the platform smiling, a new man.]

THE SAVIOUR
Or a couple of times in my case.

[THE GUARDIAN jumps off the platform and runs to his brother, hugging him.]

THE GUARDIAN
Brother! What happened? Where did you go? I thought you were dead! Why did you not tell us?

THE SAVIOUR
Calm down, little man. It’s okay, I’m here now. I didn’t miss your ceremony. I was up on the second floor watching. The Guardian, my brother, what a name.

THE GUARDIAN
Yeah. Better than The Master.

[THE SAVIOUR, THE GUARDIAN, THE DOCTOR and THE MASTER laugh.]

CUT TO:

15. EXT: GALLIFREY, OUTSIDE THE CATHEDRAL

[CAPTION: "887 YEARS LATER".

 THE GUARDIAN (regenerated) and THE SAVIOUR(regenerated again) are standing outside the ruins of the Cathedral with a group of other Time Lords. PRAC. FX: everywhere is on fire.]

TIME LORD GENERAL
This is it. We must take arms against the Daleks! This is the Time War!

THE SAVIOUR
For Gallifrey!

TIME LORDS
For Gallifrey!

THE GUARDIAN
For Victory!

TIME LORDS
For Victory!

TIMELORD GENERAL
Ready. ATTACK!

[The TIME LORDS charge against the incoming Dalek attack. FX: Dalek bolts are fired. One shot hits THE GUARDIAN, who falls to the ground. THE SAVIOUR stops and runs to aid THE GUARDIAN.]

THE SAVIOUR
Brother!

THE GUARDIAN [in Pain]
Don’t worry... about me... I’ll be.... fine...

[THE GUARDIAN’S head falls to the ground, and... FX: Volcano explosion shooting out from THE GUARDIAN’s head and hands. Fire engulfs each aspect of his body. FX: His appearance starts to change, to THE GUARDIAN we know now...]

CUT TO:

16. INT: TARDIS - CONSOLE ROOM [PRESENT DAY]

[THE GUARDIAN’s eyes open and he shoots up.]

THE GUARDIAN
Right, my past. How did that happen? Why did I dream all of that?


[THE GUARDIAN notices the white light coming from the door, still. In the white light a woman can be seen. THE GUARDIAN can’t make her out though.]

THE GUARDIAN
Who are you? What are you doing here, in my TARDIS?

WOMAN
Oh my Guardian. You know who I am. We have met before, and this won’t be the last time either.

THE GUARDIAN
What do you mean?

WOMAN
You are going to need our help for the approaching battle.

THE GUARDIAN
Our help? What do you mean?

WOMAN
You helped us. We shall return the favour. Peace was restored for us.

THE GUARDIAN
It can’t be. How did you..?

[SARAH wakes up with her hand on her head.]

SARAH [groggy]
G...Guardian. W... What happened?

[The white light disappears. THE GUARDIAN looks over at SARAH, then quickly runs over and helps her up.]

THE GUARDIAN
The TARDIS has crashed. Something powerful hit it. But, because of the recent damage with the Gods, the TARDIS can repair herself much quicker, Sarah. So I would say give her five minutes and that'll be us.

SARAH
What could've caused this?

THE GUARDIAN
Someone with the technology to make such an impact. But the only people known to make that much impact to a TARDIS is another Time Lord. But that can’t be possible. Only a handful of us survived, and none were rogues.

SARAH
Is it possible they have changed?

THE GUARDIAN
Maybe... but still, at that why me?

[The Time Rotor lights up.]

TARDIS [V/O]
Guardian, I am fixed.

THE GUARDIAN
Excellent! TARDIS, do you know the location of where the blast came from?

TARDIS [V/O]
Nothing can be specified at this moment Guardian.


[A beeping noise is heard. THE GUARDIAN runs to the scanner and looks at it. A red dot can be seen.]

THE GUARDIAN
Whoever it was, looks like they are waiting for me.


[THE GUARDIAN stands upright, and looks at the Time Rotor.]

THE GUARDIAN
This is going to be good.

[THE GUARDIAN looks at SARAH, who looks back at him.]

THE GUARDIAN
Well, here we go. Ready?

SARAH
Yes. You?

THE GUARDIAN
Of course. TARDIS... You know what to do.

TARDIS [V/O]
Tracking source now.... London.... 2012.

THE GUARDIAN
Excellent.

SARAH
Guardian will this be safe?

THE GUARDIAN
Of course not. Nothing's ever safe!

[On THE GUARDIAN and SARAH, grinning gleefully.]
CUT TO:

CREDITS.

NEXT TIME:


SARAH V/O
It was said that, on the 21st December 2012, the Earth would die. It would collide with a passing planet, a black hole as such and cease to exist. Some believe it's real, some don't and some like me aren't sure. But on this day, something would happen that would change humanity forever.

CUT TO:

THE GUARDIAN
Rifts are opening. That’s not good. Really not good. The Sontaran didn’t come here on its own accord. It was brought here, plucked from its own time stream and brought here. But who would do such a thing?


CUT TO:

Caption: Sunday 5th December


FADE TO:


SARAH
What’s a rift?

THE GUARDIAN
It’s a huge fissure in the earth’s surface where tectonic forces cause the Earth to split apart. Opening up a portal from here to another planet, or time.


FADE TO:

MYSTERIOUS FIGURE v/o
You are here because I need your help to bring down the one they call The Guardian.


CUT TO:

THE GUARDIAN v/o
Silurians, Sea Devils, Sycorax,  Zygons, Sontarans, and Echnoneen. That’ll be the disaster of 2012, not colliding with another planet!

CUT TO:

Caption:  THE END IS COMING

FADE TO:

MYSTERIOUS FIGURE
Oh what do we have here? The Guardian defenceless, oh please don’t let it be true! Boo-hoo!

CUT TO:

MYSTERIOUS FIGURE
You left me in the Timewar, for dead.

THE GUARDIAN
I thought you had died, that dalek shot you!

MYSTERIOUS FIGURE
And yet here I am… Brother.

SARAH
What?!
