CLEO and SHAWNA listen to the advert on Cleo鈥檚 laptop. The advert abruptly stops with a click.
听
CLEO
She mentioned the Doctor! Play it again!

SHAWNA
Who?
听
CLEO
(Sighs)
Never mind. Where鈥檇 you get that?
听
SHAWNA
I recovered it from corrupted files on Abbie鈥檚 laptop.听
听
CLEO
So weird. What do you think it is?
听
SHAWNA
Well there鈥檚 only one way to find out.
And you heard what she said. It鈥檚 for
lost people and you lost someone...
听
CLEO
(Uneasy)
Come on Shawna - I appreciate it,
but babe -
听
SHAWNA
Look at this, 鈥淔or when you lose those
whom everyone else has forgotten.鈥
听
CLEO
Shawna 鈥淲hom.鈥 Who says 鈥淲hom鈥?
That鈥檚 some Bridgerton nonsense.
听
SHAWNA
The point is - I think this is a real
lead. UNIT didn鈥檛 know anything; the
police weren鈥檛 interested; we鈥檝e lost Abby...what else can we do?
听听听听听听
CLEO
Babe, if I take any more time off work...
I told Jill I have shingles on my face.
How much time does that buy me?
听
SHAWNA
I dunno. Like a week?
听
CLEO
Fine. Though what am I gonna say to
this group? I think my brother got
kidnapped by government agents? They鈥檒l
have me on a psych ward before you can
say Alien Foetus in a Jar.

SHAWNA
I dunno, Joe Rogan got a Spotify deal.

Purposeful music fades into:

CLEO
(Affectionately)
Oh hey Nana Thompson!
听
NANA
Hello, Cleo?
听
CLEO
Oh Shawna鈥檚 just in the bath -
听
NANA
That girl never answers her ruddy phone.
听
CLEO
(Laughs) Do you want me to get her?
听
NANA
Leave her be. Tell her to call me. I
was going out of my mind. Tell me Cleo,
is my granddaughter OK? Running off to Glasgow like that.
听
CLEO
Oh she鈥檒l be fine.
听
NANA
What鈥檚 wrong, love? I can tell something鈥檚 off with her.
听
CLEO
She鈥檚 had a bit of a falling out with Abby...
听
NANA
Oh I wish she鈥檇 find a nice lesbian
and settle down.
听
CLEO
Yeah you and me both.
听
NANA
And what about you? Have you got a nice
man?
听
CLEO
Not quite Mrs Thompson, the only man 滨鈥檓 looking for right now is my brother. He鈥檚 gone missing.
听
NANA
All these people going missing. Awful business isn鈥檛 it? And how鈥檚 your mum
doing?
听
CLEO
I don鈥檛 really talk to my mum, Mrs
Thompson.

NANA
Whyever not?

ABBY
So!! Hi!! It鈥檚 Abby. Abby McPhail.
We met earlier today? The alien girl? 听
Not like, a literal alien. Just, the
one that was talking to you about aliens?
Oh my god this is embarrassing. ANYWAY.
I was wondering if you maybe wanted to
get coffee some time? Call me back or
give me a knock; 滨鈥檓 in 5F.

Oh my god, Cleo. Thank god! Why aren鈥檛
you returning my calls?
听
CLEO
After what you did are you surprised?
听
ABBY
I know...I -
CLEO
No I don鈥檛 want to hear it, Abz. You don鈥檛 do things like this to people you love. People who love you.
听
ABBY
I just...
CLEO
You chose those UNIT psychos over us.
How could you?!
听
ABBY
Well if we鈥檙e gonna get to the bottom of this mystery, we need them, Cleo.
听
CLEO
You hurt me. You and Shawna are literally the only family I have. I don鈥檛 want an explanation or apology. I want changed behaviour or nothing. Because we can鈥檛 be friends 鈥 we can鈥檛 be family if this is what you鈥檙e choosing.
听
ABBY
(Sighs) Do you really mean that?

What do you think?

She hangs up.

SHAWNA
You鈥檙e utting it fine...

CLEO
滨鈥檓 on British Cleo Time. Take it or
leave it babe.
听
SHAWNA
Are you alright? You been crying?
听
CLEO
No. Just life allergies. Come on, I don鈥檛 wanna miss the start.
听
The music stops. They log on to the Zoom call. We hear the mysterious music from the ad.
听
SHAWNA
Is this it..? We鈥檙e in a waiting room.
听
CLEO
Looks like it. Give us the chocolate.
听听听听听听听听听听听
SHAWNA
There鈥檚 20 people here.
听
CLEO
Yeah makes sense. There鈥檚 a lot of people going missing aren鈥檛 there.
听
SHAWNA
There she is: Requiem. She鈥檚 got her
camera off, shall I message her?
听
SFX: Cleo opening chocolate and taking a bite.
听
CLEO
It鈥檚 starting!
听
REQUIEM
Welcome new members. What are your names?
听
CLEO
Hi, 滨鈥檓 Cleo.
听
SHAWNA
Shawna.
听
REQUIEM
Everyone, say hello to our new members.
听
GROUP
(Terribly out of sync, varying signal qualities)
Hi Cleo! Hi Shawna!
听
REQUIEM
Excellent. Let us begin. As ever, I shall remain anonymous but understand, like you,
I have experienced loss. It is the price
we pay for the beauty of mortality.
CLEO
(Whisper)
Babe are we sure this isn鈥檛 a cult? It鈥檚 giving me very culty vibes.
听
SHAWNA
(Whisper)
She can still see us talking even if we鈥檙e on mute.
听
REQUIEM
You鈥檝e lost someone.
听
SHAWNA
There鈥檚 only 18 people now.
听
REQUIEM
Perhaps you have lost many people.听
听
CLEO
People bailing already. Good sign.
听
REQUIEM
And you have told yourself that it will be easier if you ignore the pain. If you press on as if it were no great injury. If you simply pretend the wound was never there until it feels as if it wasn鈥檛. I understand. But I can tell you from experience that that will not stop this pain. You will not escape your听grief. She - it will be a part of you, always. A scar that will ache 听听when it gets cold in the dark.
(Beat)
I am here to help you lance the wound. To remember those we鈥檝e lost. To never let them disappear.
听
She takes a significant pause.
听
REQUIEM
Which of you has the courage to speak first?
(Beat)
Peter.
听
We now hear a montage of the groups鈥 tales of woe. High pitched, melancholy yet creepy music plays throughout the montage.
听
PETER
Yeah so, my wife uh, well she鈥檚 gone missing. It鈥檚 been hard...
听
CHRISTINA
...Because 鈥 and it feels awful to admit this but, I feel like 滨鈥檓 forgetting her. She鈥檚 only been missing for a few weeks but I鈥檝e forgotten the sound of her voice, the way she smiled, even the colour of her eyes....
听
ELLIE
...Ellie here. I just wanted to say that I feel like 滨鈥檓 going a bit nuts actually. Like 滨鈥檓 seeing things鈥earing things. 滨鈥檓 even having nightmares. But I can鈥檛 remember what鈥檚 causing them. And when I tell people I think something absolutely terrible has happened they don鈥檛 believe me.
听
REQUIEM
I believe you.
听
RACHEL
滨鈥檓 Rachel. I know this sounds crazy, I do, but I just know deep down in my heart that I have a son. I can鈥檛 tell you his name, or what he looks like, but I just know 滨鈥檓 a 鈥
听
Rachel stops abruptly. We hear static.
听
CLEO
Wait what happened there? Did she get cut off? This Zoom man.
听
SHAWNA
Shhhh!
听
CLEO
But where鈥檇 she go though?
听
MOHAMMED
There are pictures in my house of people I don鈥檛 recognise. 滨鈥檓 in the pictures too - how can that be? It doesn鈥檛 make any sense!
听
REQUIEM
Let us pause. Thank you, Mohammed. There
are all number of reasons that the mind might take it upon itself to protect you from its darkest corners. Our mind can
build a powerful shield around the past, keep us from the memories that wish us harm. 听I think it is important to remember that. It鈥檚 a reflex of survival. It鈥檚 your brain鈥檚 way of keeping you alive.
听
There鈥檚 a murmur of agreement. Cleo mutes the video call.
听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听
CLEO
What do you make of this? (Pause) It鈥檚 ok, we鈥檙e on mute.
听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听
SHAWNA
听听听听听听听听听听听 听听听听听听听 I hope Abby鈥檚 alright. Wherever she is...

SCENE 6
INT. UNIT LAB. EVE
听
FX - hear a howl of the Redacted Distortion, only this a very definite scream in the mix.
听听听听
OSGOOD
Cut it off.
听
FX - a machine powers down.
听听听听
ABBY
What is that?! It鈥檚 awful!
听听听听
OSGOOD
We don鈥檛 know. Using Joel鈥檚 Dimensional Bridging Stabliser, we鈥檝e isolated and amplified the disturbance. That鈥檚 what you鈥檙e hearing now. Glimpses from a parallel reality.
听听听听
ABBY
Incredible. But it sounds like...
听听听听
OSGOOD
Screaming. Yes, I know.
听听听听
ABBY
Well then stop! You鈥檙e hurting it!
听
OSGOOD
We don鈥檛 know that. Metaphysically speaking, there鈥檚 nothing to hurt. All our monitors are very clear - there鈥檚 nothing there.
听
ABBY
But I can see...something. A shape. It looks like...a person.
听
SFX: Background noise of computers whirring and beeping.
听
OSGOOD
There鈥檚 a word for things you can see and hear but that aren鈥檛 really there.
听
ABBY
Ghosts.
听
OSGOOD
Whatever they are, we need to find what鈥檚 causing this and how it鈥檚 connected to thousands of missing people.
听
ABBY
Thousands?
听
OSGOOD
It鈥檚 an epidemic. A plague. And it鈥檚
getting worse. At this rate, London
itself will disappear. And every other
major city on the planet. Paris, Rio,
Hong Kong鈥
听
ABBY
So what do we do?
听
OSGOOD
We find out what鈥檚 doing this. Resume the tests.
ABBY
No, no, no. Please wait...
听
OSGOOD
This is UNIT, Abby. Sometimes, we鈥檙e forced to make the hard choices. The choices no
one else can make. The choices no one else should have to make.
听
FX - the machine starts up again. The distorted scream gets louder.
听
ABBY
Osgood?
听
OSGOOD
Keep going.
听
The scream increases and suddenly stops.

听
REQUIEM
Perhaps it is time for our newest members
to contribute. Shawna?
听
SHAWNA
No thanks, not really the sharing kind.
听
REQUIEM
I understand. But I would encourage
you to try.
听
SHAWNA
We鈥檙e just trying to work out why people
are going missing.
听
REQUIEM
Who are you searching for?
听听听听听听听听听听听
SHAWNA
Well, Cleo鈥檚 lost her brother
听
REQUIEM
And who have you lost?
听
SHAWNA
No-one.
听
REQUIEM
There鈥檚 loss in your eyes.
听
SHAWNA
Oh god, I don鈥檛 even - you all have
real problems. 滨鈥檓 just upset about a
girl.
听
CLEO
Babe, that鈥檚 a real problem.
听
REQUIEM
I feel that we are missing context.
听
SHAWNA
Right. Sorry. There鈥檚 this girl 鈥
woman, Abby.
听
Soft, heartwarming music plays as Shawna speaks fondly of Abby.
听
SHAWNA
She鈥檚 the smartest person I鈥檝e ever met. Like, real deal, superhero, gonna-win-a-Nobel- prize level smart. But she鈥檚 also a carer for her Mum, so instead of I don鈥檛 know, joining the UN, she makes a podcast with me. With us.
听
REQUIEM
And what is the nature of this podcast?
听
SHAWNA
(Embarassed)
Mostly we talk about aliens. And Russian bots. QAnon, ATMOS, Saxon Truthers, you know.
听
REQUIEM
I see.
听
SHAWNA
The point is. 滨鈥檓 seriously head over
heels, Kristen Stewart rom-com actually in love with her. And I don鈥檛 want to be.
听
REQUIEM
Why?
听
SHAWNA
Well, first, she鈥檚 got this absolute waste of space of a听boyfriend -
听
CLEO
(Interrupting)
Oh Shawna he鈥檚 fine come on.
(Shawna gives her a look).
Alright, I mean not as good as you obviously. Come on he鈥檚 fine.
听
SHAWNA
And more importantly, she just chose a bunch of space cops over her two best friends.
听
MOHAMMED
Space cops?
听
CLEO
Yes Mohammed, space cops. Keep up please.
听
SHAWNA
And 滨鈥檓 so angry with her. Because like, yes, I get it, she wants to go out and be a big damn hero. But just because they鈥檝e got shiny uniforms doesn鈥檛 mean they鈥檙e the good guys.听
听
REQUIEM
Are they the 鈥榖ad guys鈥 then?
听
SHAWNA
Yes! No. I don鈥檛 know. All I actually know is that they lied to us. And they hurt Cleo. And I asked her to choose me and she didn鈥檛.
And I really thought she would.
听
CLEO
Shawna, we鈥檒l get her back.
听
REQUIEM
And what about you Cleo 鈥 what鈥檚 your story?
听
CLEO
Nah, it鈥檚 alright, someone else go.
听
REQUIEM
Cleo. Isn鈥檛 there anything you鈥檇 like to share? Shawna mentioned your brother.
听
The same high pitched music from before starts again.
听
CLEO
Uh, no, no. I wanna hear about the people
in these pictures in Mohammed鈥檚 house.
听
REQUIEM
Sorry, who鈥檚 house?
听听听听听听听听听听听
CLEO
Mohammed鈥檚 鈥 you know the guy who was talking earlier.
听
SHAWNA
Babe, there is no Mohammed...
听
CLEO
Where鈥檚 he gone?
听
REQUIEM
No one has gone anywhere.
听
CLEO
Did he get cut off too? But his cameras still on though. Look, he鈥檚 right there! Kind of blurry...
听听
SHAWNA
Who are you talking about?
听
CLEO
Mohammed. Look, look where 滨鈥檓 pointing!
听
ELLIE
Are you ok?
听
SHAWNA
Cleo, there鈥檚 nothing there.
CLEO
Yes there is! Look at him!
All fuzzy and鈥 translucent.
听
SHAWNA
(UNSETTLED)
Cleo, this isn鈥檛 funny.
听
CLEO
滨鈥檓 not joking Shawna!
听
SHAWNA
Ok so 滨鈥檓 starting to think the late-night coffee was a bad idea.
听
CLEO
(Thinking aloud)
Why am I different to you? I remember and you don鈥檛.
听
SHAWNA
Remember who?! Cleo, seriously, you鈥檙e scaring me
听
CLEO
(Beat)
Alright. Look, I鈥檒l show you.
That box. Top right.
(Beat)
See, look? He鈥檚 gone.
听
SHAWNA
There wasn鈥檛 anyone there, Cleo.
听
CLEO
Shawna think about it. Why would someone
set up a Zoom to an empty room?
听
SFX: Cleo scribbling down a list.
听
REQUIEM
What are you doing?
听听听听听听听听听听听
CLEO
滨鈥檓 writing down everyone who鈥檚 still here. Ellie, Peter, Dave...
听听听听听听听听听听听
REQUIEM
But why? Do you want to talk about it?
听
CLEO
Well there鈥檚 no point is there? If they
disappear you鈥檙e going to forget
they existed. Just like everyone does,
all the time.
听
REQUIEM
You sound frustrated. Is this about your family?
听
CLEO
Give the girl a prize!
(Deep breath)
I don鈥檛 have a family.
听
REQUIEM
Did they disappear as well? Tell me.
听
CLEO
(sighs)
My brother has. My Mum didn鈥檛.
It鈥檇 be easier if she鈥檇 听been magicked away or taken by aliens. But with her it鈥檚 just good old fashioned rejection.
听
SHAWNA
And she鈥檚 an idiot.
听
CLEO
Thanks hun.
听
REQUIEM
What of your father?
听
CLEO
(choking up)
He鈥檚 dead.
(Long pause)
When I was a kid. There was some kind of...I don鈥檛 know. I don鈥檛 remember. Mum always said he just left. Packed up in the middle of the night without even saying goodbye,and left me alone with her. I never believed her. Now I don鈥檛 know if she was lying or if she didn鈥檛 even know.
听
Soft, sad music begins as Cleo tells her story.
听
CLEO
The point is he鈥檚 gone, and he鈥檚 never coming back. There鈥檚 no magic vanishing act, no aliens. Just me and my brother growing up with a single Mum in Peckham.
听
A single Mum who put up with me failing my GCSEs, but seriously couldn鈥檛 handle finding out she had a daughter.
听
REQUIEM
(Thoughtful pause)
I do not have children. It has always been my belief that such a choice, taken wisely, is the result of a kind of courage and compassion which I know I do not have. Raising a child requires a kind of limitless selflessness. An understanding that your world will only ever be a shadow of that of your progeny. That if you succeed, they will go on to find far greater
horizons than you had ever dreamt of. That they will, in a word, outgrow you. That your mother resists this is not, as I understand it, uncommon in your culture. But it is nonetheless a tragedy.
Still. Her narrow-mindedness will only ever be听a reflection of her failure. It does not tarnish the courage and wisdom that moved you to go where she could not.
听
CLEO
Thanks, I guess.
听
REQUIEM
Knowledge of the self is the deepest mystery of all. For that, Cleo Proctor, you have my respect.
听
CLEO
That鈥檚 me. Halfway up the hill to enlightenment. Alright! Time for someone else to bare their soul now.
听
REQUIEM
Someone else?
听
CLEO
Yeah.
(Beat)
Wait, where鈥檇 everyone go?
听
SHAWNA
What do you mean?
听
REQUIEM
We鈥檙e the only ones here Cleo.
听
CLEO
What?
听
SHAWNA
You know. In the group.
听
CLEO
There were 20 of us at the start.
听
SHAWNA
What are you on about? It鈥檚 literally just us.
听
CLEO
Look, I wrote all their names down.
(Beat)
That鈥檚 not possible.
听
High pitched music suddenly comes back again.
听
CLEO
(Beat)
Shawna, did you do this?
听
SHAWNA
Did I do what?
听
CLEO
It鈥檚 like someone鈥檚 ripped through the paper. I can鈥檛 even read the names on my list.
听
SHAWNA
Why did you have a list of names?
听
(Cleo angrily turns on Requiem, her tone dark.)
听
CLEO
Who the hell are you, Requiem? What鈥檚 your real name?
听
REQUIEM
滨鈥檓 sorry?
听
CLEO
No you will be. Turn your camera on now!
听
The music intensifies as Cleo demands answers.
听
REQUIEM
I cannot.
听
CLEO
Is it you? Are you the Doctor? Tell me now!
听
Faint Redaction effect in the background.
听
SHAWNA
Cleo, will you please stop! What are you talking about?
听
CLEO
It鈥檚 her! She鈥檚 doing it.
听
Redaction effect builds. Requiem鈥檚 voice is glitchy, hard to understand.
听
REQUIEM
Shawna, Cleo you鈥檙e in danger. You have to listen to me.
听
CLEO
Why? We don鈥檛 even know who you are.
听
Redacted Distortion begins.听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听
REQUIEM
It鈥檚 coming. It鈥檚 coming for you.
It鈥檚 coming for all of us.
听
SHAWNA
What is?

CLEO
Are you the Doctor?

REQUIEM
The Doctor can鈥檛 help you now.

Redacted Distortion builds.

Intense double bass plays a series of four notes in quick succession, emulating Cleo and Shawna鈥檚 fear and confusion.
