CLEO

CLEO starts to head back to the hotel.

听

JORDAN

Only then she stops.

听

CLEO (CONT鈥橠)

What the hell?

听

JORDAN

What?

听

CLEO

Jordan. Where did the hotel go?

听

There鈥檚 a pause. She walks up and down the street.

听

CLEO (CONT鈥橠)

Wait, no. How..?

听

JORDAN

OK. Yeah that鈥檚 weird.

That does not make sense.

听

CLEO

(Confused)

I need to talk to the girls.

听

The scene ends with purposeful music, as Cleo runs to tell the girls what she鈥檚 just seen.

听

听

SCENE 1C: INT. PODCAST RECORDING

听

The girls meet on Zoom.

听

Abby

Sorry, Cleo. One more time?

听

听

CLEO

For crying out loud! OK鈥�

(beat)

So we went to this hotel and

Rani was a hologram from like

Antarctica but she didn鈥檛 actually

say but it was snowing and stuff,

and she was all like

鈥渄on鈥檛 forget the Doctor鈥� and told

me to tattoo his own name on myself,

although sometimes she鈥檚 a woman,

because he (or she) is gonna come

in the blue box, that鈥檚 it the

TARDIS, and they鈥檙e gonna save us -

听

SHAWNA

(Interrupting)

Cleo, take a breath. That is

Literally all the pronouns.

听

CLEO

That鈥檚 not the point.

We gotta find the Doctor.

听

ABBY

Who?

听

CLEO

The Doctor. I swear to God, I鈥檝e

said it like five times now girls.

Keep up! Remember! From the news?

We thought he was a gang leader

or something? Don鈥檛 you remember?

听

ABBY

颁濒别辞鈥�

听

SHAWNA

This makes no sense. She didn鈥檛

say anything else? Like anything

that doesn鈥檛 sound psychotic?

听

CLEO

No because then this big transformer

thing came in and I just don鈥檛

know what happened! It just went

dead. I don鈥檛 even know if she鈥檚 OK 鈥�

I could hear guns and stuff girls.

听

SHAWNA

So the transformer-looking-thing?

Guns? Cleo was this some kind of

weird dream?

听

CLEO

No! Although the hotel did

disappear after we ran out.

I don鈥檛 understand.

听

SHAWNA and ABBY both laugh in disbelief.

听

SHAWNA

The hotel did what?

听

CLEO

The robot thing could see us,

So we legged it, but then the

hotel was gone. I swear! Abby,

tell her.

听

ABBY

(Hesitant)

I鈥�I鈥檓 sorry Cleo, it does sound

like a lot. But hotel鈥檚 don鈥檛

disappear my love.

听

SHAWNA

听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听 No.

听

CLEO

Abs, are you actually kidding

me babe? All the insane stuff

you鈥檝e told us on the podcast

and now you won鈥檛 believe things

I saw with my own two eyes?!

听

We hear ABBY typing as she talks.

听

ABBY

听

CLEO

SHAWNA

听

CLEO

(beat)

Wait a sec, look鈥�

听

We hear CLEO roll up her sleeve.

ABBY

CLEO

Rani said I鈥檇 forget. That鈥檚

听

ABBY

Cleo you didn鈥檛鈥�

听

ABBY

No! Girl I got a Sharpie don鈥檛 I?

See? I just keep writing it on my hand.

听

ABBY and SHAWNA laugh slightly in relief.

听

ABBY

Writing what?

听

CLEO

THE DOCTOR! Oh my god!

(Beat)

Forget the Doctor. Again.

Let鈥檚 focus on the fact people

Are going missing. Rani said a

bunch of people had disappeared.

听

ABBY

Yes OK 鈥� that does make sense.

People are vanishing. Erm sorry one

蝉别肠辞苍诲鈥�

听

We hear ABBY typing

This is a mess. I鈥檓 a mess.

听

SHAWNA

Are you alright?

听

ABBY

Aye. No. Mum鈥檚 not feeling too good and...I鈥檓 in trouble with Craig.

听

SHAWNA

What? Why now?

听

ABBY

I cancelled another date when

I couldn鈥檛 get hold of Cleo

last night.

听

CLEO

Oh no Abz I鈥檓 sorry!

听

Awkward pause. Silence.

听

SHAWNA

I鈥檓 sorry.

听听听听

CLEO

OK girls, that was weirdly tense.

Look how about we just focus on the

impossible mysterious听paranormal

stuff to distract听ourselves from the

train wrecks that are our lives yeah!

听

The girls laugh lightly.

听

ABBY

Yeah. Have a listen.

听

FX - various news clips follow.

YORKSHIRE NEWSCASTER

...we investigate reports of human trafficking in Sheffield amidst a disturbing rise in people being

reported missing...

POLICE REP

The Metropolitan Police Force are concerned about their whereabouts

and would urge anyone with information

to come forward at this time...

听

WELSH NEWSCASTER

South Wales Police deny there鈥檚

a Missing Persons Crisis in Cardiff

as reports reach an all time high...

听

ABBY

For whatever reason, people are going missing. And the authorities are

starting to notice.

听

SHAWNA

You know the police were at the

Kahn鈥檚? Sonya went missing last week.

Now her mum鈥檚 gone too.

听

ABBY

Normally, when people go missing,

there鈥檚 a rational explanation,

which is why it doesn鈥檛 usually

make the news...

听

SHAWNA

Girl! The reason it doesn鈥檛 make the

news is because they鈥檙e people of colour...

听

CLEO

Yeah or trans. Or, you know,

鈥榓dult service providers鈥�

听

ABBY

You know someone is reported

missing in the UK every 90 seconds,

but the vast majority are found

within 24 hours of a report being made.

At the moment, though, people are going missing...and not turning up.

CLEO

Where do you think they are?

听

ABBY

I mean no-one knows. I鈥檝e found this

girl on Twitter. She鈥檚 called Tanya.

She鈥檚 appealing for information

about her friend Ryan Sinclair

who went missing last week with

his granddad.

听

SHAWNA

They were on the news too.

听

ABBY

And they鈥檙e from Sheffield. Shawna,

Would you mind going to meet this

Tanya woman? I鈥檝e been DMing her.

seminars or something.

听

SHAWNA听(CONT'D)

What?

听

NANA

I didn鈥檛 say anything.

听

SHAWNA

Your stirring is judgmental.

听

NANA

I just think you鈥檙e barking up

the wrong tree with that one.

听

SHAWNA

She鈥檚 bi!

听

NANA

She鈥檚 not single though, is she?

And she鈥檚 three hundred miles away.

Look, there鈥檚 this girl, Megan, works

at our place and she鈥檚 fully lesbian.

听

SHAWNA

Oh right so we鈥檙e bound to be compatible?

I鈥檒l book a moving van and sort a

cat out.

听

NANA

Well you won鈥檛 know unless you get

out there and do some courting

will you?听

听

SHAWNA

Some courting? I鈥檒l just hop in my

time machine.

听

NANA

That鈥檚 right. Make fun of your old nan, why don鈥檛 you?

听

There鈥檚 a sigh from Shawna.

听

SHAWNA

The thing is with Abby...I just wish...

I wish...she could be with someone

who sees her. Abby is the most

amazing woman. If things were different

蝉丑别鈥檇 be running the world in a couple

of years.

Instead she鈥檚 stuck in a council flat in Glasgow caring for her mum with an absolute wang of a boyfriend.

(Beat)

听

Warm music starts to build as Shawna and Nana speak

听

I鈥檓 not saying it has to be me, but

that Craig guy...he doesn鈥檛 see her.

听

NANA

Hmm...I just want to see you happy. That鈥檚 all I鈥檝e ever wanted for you.

听

SHAWNA

I am.

I am.

Who is the lost queen?

听

JILL

Is this a wind up?

听

CLEO

No like...who was she?

听

JILL

Did you just not bother with school

or something? Everyone knows!

(Pause)

After the Great English Succession

Crisis, the queen went into hiding

because so many people wanted her

dead. She was...a recluse. No-one

knows who she was. Hence, the Lost

Queen.

听

CLEO

It was Queen Victoria? This

is the Queen Victoria Theatre.

听

JILL

The only Queen Victoria I know is

Posh Spice, now get on with your

work please.

CLEO

You鈥檙e telling me! That statue must

weigh fifty tons at least!

听

SHAWNA

No, babe, I mean, who鈥檚 Queen

Victoria?

听

Eerie music starts to build.

听

CLEO

Oh please don鈥檛, it鈥檚 not funny. I鈥檓

freaking out.

听

ABBY

Cleo...there isn鈥檛 a Queen

Victoria. There never has been.

听

CLEO

Oh my god.

(Beat)

滨迟鈥檚 you too.

听

ABBY

What?

听

CLEO

Why am I different? People aren鈥檛

just going missing. People are

forgetting people.

听

ABBY

Cleo...

听

SHAWNA

No. She鈥檚 right. Tanya couldn鈥檛

remember the dude 蝉丑别鈥檇

reporting missing.

听

听

ABBY

(Despairing)

But why isn鈥檛 anyone talking about

this?

听

听

CLEO

How can they, if they鈥檝e forgotten

they need to be talking about it?

听

All three take this in.

听

ABBY

OK so, what we鈥檙e dealing with is

people who first go missing, and

then everyone forgets them? How...

how is that even possible?

听

The music becomes eerily high pitched for a long second as they realise people are being forgotten.

听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听 听听

SHAWNA

How is any of it possible?

听听听听听听听听听听听 听听听 听听听 Giant spiders in Sheffield. Yetis in

听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听 mines.

听

CLEO

听听听听听听听听听听听 听听听听听听听 Yeah, yeah but Shawna, you don鈥檛 believe

in the things we talk about on the pod. You just think everything is

the FBI or CIA or Rupert Murdoch.

听

SHAWNA

You鈥檙e right, I don鈥檛 think

it鈥檚 aliens, but something really,

really messed-up is happening here.

听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听 To us. Right now.

听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听 (beat)

know we should be.

听听听听听听听听听听听 听听听听听听听 You鈥檙e all I鈥檝e got.

听

CLEO

Sorry about that Jill!

听

JILL

CLEO

Mum, you can鈥檛 just show up at

MONICA is a has a very strong south London accent and sounds like she smokes 50 a day.

听

MONICA

Well what do you expect, Jay? You

CLEO

Is that was this is? Is that what

MONICA

I didn鈥檛 throw you out, you stropped

You wanna be on that stage, never mind selling ice creams.

听

CLEO

You know what, sling your hook, I鈥檝e

Cleo walks away. Monica calls after her.

MONICA

Pause.

CLEO

Oh he鈥檒l have forgotten or he鈥檒l have

听

MONICA

His phone鈥檚 off. When has he ever

turned his phone off?

听

Another pause.

听

CLEO

(Uncertain)

You know what he鈥檚 like. He gets on

the wrong side of people and then

has to lay low for a bit.

听

MONICA

No. Not this time. He鈥檚 a good boy.

He always texts his mother. Cleo,

I鈥檓 worried sick. I鈥檓 not messin鈥�

听The piano tune keeps going for a moment before picking up the pass with a big beat of drums, strings and synths that turns into the Main Theme tune, a symphony of synths and strings revelling in alien weirdness.
