I am The Interface

Emergence is a Simple Idea -- 

The Universe is The Way it is, 

because it Grew That Way.

CHAKOTAY: 

It looks like the bio-mass dissolved 

right through The Borg hull. 

TUVOK: 

This Borg is attempting to assimilate it. 

KIM: 

Doesn't look like he's having much luck. 

CHAKOTAY: 

There's a chamber beyond this opening. 

Forty meters wide, high concentrations of antimatter particles. 

It looks like a warp propulsion system of some kind. 

KIM: 

It's A Ship? 

TUVOK: 

Starfleet has encountered species 

that use organic-based vessels. 

The Breen, for example. 

CHAKOTAY: 

There doesn't seem to be anybody on board. 

Chakotay to Voyager. 

JANEWAY [OC]: 

Go ahead, Commander. 

CHAKOTAY: 

Captain, we've found an entrance to the biomass. 

We think it may be a ship of some kind. 

Permission to go inside. 

JANEWAY [OC]: 

Granted. 

CHAKOTAY: 

Harry, that's a Borg distribution node. 

See if you can download their tactical database. 

It might contain a record of What Happened here. 

KIM: 

Aye, sir. 

CHAKOTAY: 

Tuvok.

[Alien Bioship]

(Lots of curves in stark contrast to The Borg angles.)

CHAKOTAY: 

They seem to be organic conduits. 

They're carrying electrodynamic fluid. 

TUVOK: 

Maybe an energy source. 

CHAKOTAY: 

Maybe. This looks like a binary matrix, 

but it's laced with neuropeptides. 

Could be their version of a computer core. 

Kim hears some clanging sounds 

and goes to investigate, 

then returns to his work.

TUVOK: 

This damage was caused by a Borg disrupter beam. 

The Wall appears to be regenerating itself. 

Commander! 

Tuvok discovers a Borg being 

absorbed by The Wall.

[TARDIS]

(The Doctor is on his knees.) 

Chinny : 

I'm shutting down. 

I need An Interface. 

Voice interface. 

Come on, emergency. 

HOLO-DOCTOR MK-III: 

Voice interface enabled. 

Chinny : 

Oh no, no, no, no, no. 

Give me someone I like. 

(Holo-Rose Tyler.)

Chinny : 

Oh, Thanks. Give me Guilt. 

(Holo-Martha Jones.) 

Chinny: 

Also, Guilt. 

(Holo-Donna Noble.) 

Chinny : 

More Guilt. Argh. 

Come on, there must be someone left 

in The Universe I haven't screwed up yet. 

HOLO-AMELIA (Aged 8) : 

Voice interface enabled. 

Chinny : 

Oh. Oh, Amelia Pond...

Before I got it all wrong. 

My sweet little Amelia. 

HOLO-AMELIA (Aged 8) : 

I am not Amelia Pond. 

I am a voice interface. 

Chinny : 

Hey, let's run away 

and have adventures. 

Come along, Pond. 

HOLO-AMELIA (Aged 8) 

I am not Amelia Pond. 

I am a voice interface. 

Chinny : 

You are so Scottish. 

How am I doing? 

HOLO-AMELIA (Aged 8) : 

Your System has been contaminated by The Poison of The Judas Tree. 

You will be dead in 

thirty two minutes. 

Chinny: 

Okay. So, basically better regenerate, 

that's what you're saying.

 

HOLO-AMELIA (Aged 8) :

Regeneration disabled. 

You will be dead 

in thirty two minutes. 

Chinny :

Unless I'm cured, yeah? 

HOLO-AMELIA (Aged 8) : 

There is no cure. 

You will be dead 

in thirty two minutes.

Chinny: 

Why do you keep saying that? 

HOLO-AMELIA (Aged 8) :

Because you will be dead in thirty two minutes.  

Chinny: 

You see? There you go again. Basically skipping 

thirty one whole minutes 

when I'm absolutely fine. 

Scottish, that's all I'm saying.

HOLO-AMELIA (Aged 8) :

 You will be fine for thirty one minutes. 

You will be dead in thirty two minutes. 

Chinny :

Scotland's never conquered anywhere, you know. 

Not even a Shetland. 

River needs me. 

She's only just beginning. 

I can't die now.

 

HOLO-AMELIA (Aged 8) : 

You will not die now. 

You will die in 

thirty two minutes.

Chinny :

I'm going out in the first round. Ringing any bells? 

Argh! Okay, need something 

for the pain now. 

Come on, Amelia. 

It's me. Please. 

HOLO-AMELIA (Aged 8) :

I am not Amelia Pond. 

I am a voice interface. 

Chinny :

Amelia, listen to me. 

I can be brave for you, 

but you have got to tell me how. 

HOLO-AMELIA (Aged 8) :

I am not Amelia Pond. 

I am a voice interface. 


Chinny : 

Amelia. Amelia, please. 

HOLO-AMELIA (Aged 8) :

Fish fingers and custard. 

Chinny :

What did you say? 

Fish fingers and custard? 

Oh, Amelia Pond. 

Fish fingers and custard. 

Fish fingers and custard!

The Mark-I

….He’s a First Draft.

MAKE Time.

Yaz : 

Doctor. STOP for a second —

I can't keep doing this with you, 

running from one place to the next, 

never explaining —


Our Lady : 

Sorry, No Time. 


Yaz: 

MAKE Time. 

Daleks... on the same day 

as The Master and Cybermen. 


Our Lady : 

I know. They're either 

separate problems, 

or all part of one bigger scheme. 

He doesn't have that Power. 

He couldn't corral Daleks 

AND Cybermen — could he? 

It's all happening so fast. 

Ooo! Very sorry. 

I am really staticky Today. 


Yaz :: 

You're going to meet a Dalek…

Has it never occurred to you 

that it could be A Trap? 


Our Lady : 

Of course it has. 

But there's about to be 

a Dalek attack on Earth, 

and the one that tipped me off 

said it has information which 

could help us stop The Daleks, 

but not just now, 

ALL Daleks, forever. 

It's a calculated risk, 

and it's one I have to take.

[Bolivia - in a volcano]

Yaz: 

I'll take down there. 

Meet you back here. Be careful. 


Our Lady : 

I'm supposed to be the one 

saying that to  you

11 Minutes

GRACE:

This is amazing!

Life’s Champion :

 This is No Good. 

We don't even have enough auxiliary 

Power to move next door. 

(The Monitor is flashing Timing Malfunction.) 

Life’s Champion: 

The Beryllium chip. Grace. 

GRACE:

 Yes, Doctor. 

Life’s Champion: 

Careful 

GRACE: 

Yes, Doctor. 

(The Doctor opens a panel 

in the console.) 

GRACE: 

This looks pretty Low-Tech…. 

Life’s Champion

Low tech? Grace, this is a 

Type-40 TARDIS, 

able to take you to any planet 

in the universe and to any date 

in that planet's existence. 

Temporal Physics. 

GRACE: 

Oh, you mean like 

interdimensional transference. 

That would explain 

the spatial displacement 

we experienced as 

we passed over 

the threshold.

Life’s Champion :

….Yes, if you like. 

(The Doctor gets the 

Beryllium chip attached.)

Life’s Champion :

 …Yes! (The Cloister Bell stops.) 

Life’s Champion:

There! The Eye is closing. 

Now, let's see —

(He hits the console.)

Life’s Champion:

Come on! Oh, no. 

GRACE: 

What? 

Life’s Champion : 

I've a horrible feeling 

we're already too late. 

GRACE: 

It's 11:48. We still have 

11 minutes.

 Life’s Champion :

There is No Context. Hold on. 

(The Doctor throws a big lever and the ceiling turns into a representation of space.) 

GRACE: 

What are you doing? 

Life’s Champion :

I'm setting coordinates for 

one minute after midnight. 

GRACE: 

Why? 

Life’s Champion :

If this is True, 

The Eye has been open too long 

and There is No Future. 

I only Hope. Oh, no! 

(In the representation, planets start to explode.) 

GRACE: 

Is this thing reliable? 

Life’s Champion:

Whatever's Happening can't be stopped 

by closing The Eye.

GRACE: 

Well, how come you 

didn't know that? 

Life’s Champion :

I haven't opened 

The Eye before. 

GRACE: 

Now you tell me. 

Life’s Champion :

Grace, closing The Eye 

may not be Enough. 

We have to Go Back 

to before The Eye was opened. 

Maybe even before we arrived. 

GRACE: 

This is a Time-Machine….

Life’s Champion :

…with No Power. 

GRACE:

What? 

Life’s Champion :

The Eye being open so long 

must have drained the TARDIS. 

GRACE: 

Great! 

Life’s Champion :

I'm sorry. 

GRACE: 

You must have The Power 

to get back. You must! 

Life’s Champion: 

Not Enough. 

GRACE: 

What about all those 

glorious predictions? 

All that knowledge about 

What's Going to Happen to 

Gareth, to me, to This City? 

That must come from 

somewhere. Think! 

Life’s Champion

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait! —

…..are you any good at 

setting alarm clocks? 

GRACE: 

No!

Life’s Champion

Grace! 

GRACE:

I'll Try. 

Life’s Champion

Listen very carefully. 

GRACE:

 Okay. 


Life’s Champion :

We pre-set the coordinates 

just as I divert The Power 

from within The Eye itself 

into the time rotor, here. 

GRACE: 

We jump-start The TARDIS? 

Life’s Champion :

We jump-start The TARDIS.

“[T]he men of the modern world — up to a generation ago anyway — saw 2000 as a millennial year in the light of science. Men were then to be freed of want, misery, and disease; reason and advanced technology would rule; all would finally be for the best in what would then be the undoubted best of all possible worlds.”

(Performed by Nicolas Cage)

Sailor's in Deep Trouble here.

I can't just leave him.

Oh yes, you can!

Yes, you can!

Your mama was real worried 

about you, honey. Me Too.

Can you give your old friend Santos a hug?

Dearest Sailor,

First thing you'll want to know is :

I'm keeping the baby.

Mama wasn't for it at first,

but I think now she is.

I'm gonna name it Pace,

no matter if it's a boy or a girl.

It's kinda hard to believe that

Pace will be six when you get out.

Our Child!

I love you, Sailor.

I miss dancing and talking,

and especially The Other!

5 YEARS, 10 MONTHS, 21 DAYS LATER

When... does... Sailor's train get in?

Six.

If I asked you not to go...

It wouldn't make any difference.

Girl, what if I told you not to go?

Mama, if you get in the way of Our Happiness,

I'll fucking pull your arms out by the roots!

No!

Mama, you almost crashed us!

Oh, an accident, baby!

Oh no, oh man!

Same fuckin' thing happened to me last year!

You must be my son.

Shake hands with Your Daddy, Pace.

It's a pleasure to meet you, Pace.

I read a lot about you.

Are you hungry?

Lead the way.

No!

No!

What's wrong, Mama?

Don't worry, Son. 

Just stay here.

I'm sorry, Sailor,

I just can't help it.

Just give me one little minute, then I'll quit.

The Boy's frightened, Lula. 

This ain't no Good.

Really, Sailor, I'll be okay.

It's a mistake, Honey.

You two go on.

I'll walk back to the depot.

What are you talking about?

That's Your Son in there!

He never Knew Me, Lula.

So there's not much for him to forget.

And 6 years apart makes it almost simple for us too.

How can you say that, Sailor?

It's what Makes Sense.

Please don't do this, Sailor!

If ever something doesn't feel right to you,

remember what Pancho said to the Cisco Kid :

"Let's Win, before We're Dancing 

at The End of a Rope, 

without Music."

You've been fine without Me.

No need to make Life tougher 

than it has to be.

Sailor, come back!

What do you faggots want?

The Good Witch...

Lula Loves You.

But I'm a robber and 

a manslaughterer.

And I haven't had any 

Parental Guidance.

She's forgiven You all that.

You Love Her.

Don't be afraid, Sailor.

But I'm Wild at Heart.

If You are Truly Wild at Heart,

You'll fight for Your Dreams.

Don't Turn-away from Love, Sailor.

Don't Turn-away from Love.

Ass-Kicking Angel :

Had Enough, asshole?

Yes I have.

And I want to apologize  to 

You Gentlemen for referring 

to You as homosexuals.

I also want to thank you fellows.

You've taught me

a valuable lesson in life.

I just met the Good Witch.

I am in Control.

 

Vader :

Secrets, are not My Concern --

Keeping them, is.

Alan Turing :

 Are you paying attention? Good.

If you're not listening carefully,

you will miss things,

important things.

I will not pause.

I will not repeat myself, and 

you will not interrupt me.

You Think, that because 

You are sitting where you are and 

I am sitting where I am, that 

You are in Control of 

What is about to Happen.

You're mistaken.

I am in Control.

Because I Know Things, that 

You Do Not Know.

No. Not Even THEY Want to Claim Nixon.

SCENE 4 

X-FILES OFFICE; 

FBI HEADQUARTERS 

WASHINGTON, D.C.

Mulder shows Scully a slide of Gary's back 

with the words clearly written on it.

" HE IS ONE "

MULDER: 

Gary Kane, 16 years old, High School Junior. 

"C" student, first-string varsity football, 

member of the local 4-H club. 

Not one of Wisconsin's more remarkable kids 

but still the apple of his mother's eye.

SCULLY: 

What does that mean?

MULDER: 

Nobody knows.

SCULLY: 

What does The Police report say?

Scully walks over to Mulder and sits on the desk next to him as he shows her the file.

MULDER: 

The victim received a phone call and left his home. 

He was discovered in the woods in his underwear twelve hours later. 

He's been unable to give a coherent statement.

SCULLY: 

Any evidence of sexual assault?

MULDER: 

No.

SCULLY: 

Does it seem like it might have been a schoolboy prank?

MULDER: 

The other victims have had to be sedated and hospitalized since their ordeals. 

They were reportedly hysterical with fear.

(He stands up.)

SCULLY: 

Victims? You mean there've been others?

(Mulder nods and switches the slide to another person with the same writing.)

MULDER: 

One in eastern Wisconsin, one three towns away.

(He flips to another slide, then another.)

Both with the same black words written in black magic marker.

SCULLY: 

What's your interest in this?

MULDER: 

The local sheriff in Delta Glen, Wisconsin thinks he knows what's been happening to these kids.

SCULLY: 

What's that?

MULDER: 

He thinks they've been possessed.

SCENE 5 

DELTA GLEN, WISCONSIN

Mulder, Scully and Sheriff Mazeroski drive down a road in the sheriff's car. 

Mulder is in the back seat.)

MAZEROSKI: 

There's something I think you ought to see first. 

They call themselves the Church of the Red Museum. 

They're followers of a guy named Odin that moved out here from California three years ago and bought a ranch.

SCULLY: 

What's the significance of the name "Red Museum?"

MAZEROSKI: 

Well, Odin and the rest of them are a bunch of vegetarians. 

They drove the ranch right into the ground, 

turned 500 head of beef cattle into pets. 

Calls it a monument to barbarism.

MULDER: 

Probably went over big with the local ranchers.

(Mazeroski laughs.)

MAZEROSKI: 

Well, you gotta admit, it takes some big ones to set down in the middle of cow country and start a church like his.

SCENE 6 

CHURCH OF THE RED MUSEUM 

DELTA GLEN, WISCONSIN

They pull up to the church as three worshippers walk by and towards a barn. They are dressed in white except for a red turban. Mulder, Scully and Mazeroski get out of the car and watch them. Mulder takes out an umbrella and holds it over his and Scully's head.

MAZEROSKI: 

Kinda stick out like a sore thumb, don't they?

SCULLY: 

You know sheriff, from what little we've seen, what, what little you've told us, they seem rather unlikely to be involved in the kind of activities that you described.

MAZEROSKI: 

Well, I, I won't say another word. 

You can just see for yourself.

(They walk into the barn and stand in the back. In front of them is a whole congregation of fifty or so people, with a giant viewscreen in the front of the room. A man gets up onto the platform in front, puts his hand together and bows lightly.)

CONGREGATION: 

Ommm...

MAZEROSKI: 

That's Odin.

Odin sits down at a computer and starts typing rapidly. A woman in back of him reads off the screen into a microphone as the words come up on the screen in back of her.

WOMAN: 

Today is a blessing from our lord and master, who awaits his flock in this time, the dawning of the Age of Aquarius. 

Eighteen earth years from the beginning of the new kingdom. 

The guides speak through me today as messengers of word that we may be free from death and the passage into spirit. 

As the acceleration continues, we, the enlightened, must bring our teachings of the skills for survival to mankind. 

Repeat in prayer...

MULDER: 

They're walk-ins.

SCULLY: 

What are walk-ins?

WOMAN: 

We, the second souls of the first bodies...

CONGREGATION: 

We, the second souls of the first bodies...

WOMAN: 

Bearers of the word and keepers of the sacraments of a new enlightenment...

MULDER: 

They're believers in soul transference, 

enlightened spirits who have taken possession of other peoples bodies.

CONGREGATION: 

Bearers of the word and keepers of the sacraments of a new enlightenment...

WOMAN: 

Blessed mission and toil.

CONGREGATION: 

Blessed mission and toil.

WOMAN: 

Our struggle is transcendent, and your guidance, our guides...

CONGREGATION: 

Our struggle is transcendent, and your guidance, our guides...

Odin finishes typing and looks to the back of the room at the three visitors.

WOMAN: 

...will carry us toward the dawning of a new age.

CONGREGATION: 

...will carry us toward the dawning of a new age.

(Odin starts typing again.)

WOMAN: 

Today, we bear witness to three who do not believe.

The congregation, one by one, slowly turn and look back at the agents.

We encourage them to open their hearts and minds to our teachings that they who slaughter the flesh slaughter their own souls and must be taught the way.

Mulder looks at Mazeroski.

SCENE 7 

BETH KANE'S HOUSE

(Gary and Beth are sitting down. Mazeroski is as well, but Mulder and Scully are standing.)

GARY KANE: 

I only remember parts of it.

MULDER: 

Which parts are those?

GARY KANE: 

I was in the woods and... I felt... a spirit enter me.

(Mulder walks over and sits down next to him.)

MULDER: 

When you say spirit, Gary, 

I'm not sure what you mean.

GARY KANE: 

It... it might have been an animal spirit. 

I can't explain it. Something... just came over me.

MULDER: 

And you don't remember who called you?

(Gary shakes his head no. Scully, standing in the doorway, looks back down the hallway.)

Anything at all about what happened immediately after you left home that night?

(

Scully walks down the hallway, looking at various pictures.)

Have you ever had any dealings with anyone from the Church of the Red Museum?

GARY KANE: I've seen them around.

MULDER: Do you have any reason to believe that they may be involved with what happened to you?

(The pictures are of Beth, Gary, Stevie and the whole family.)

MAZEROSKI: Now tell him what you told me, Gary.

(Gary talks in the background. Stevie walks up to Scully.)

SCULLY: Hi.

STEVIE KANE: Hi.

SCULLY: Who are you?

STEVIE KANE: Stevie.

SCULLY: Oh, you're in all the pictures. You must be Gary's younger brother.

(Stevie nods.)

I'm Dana. Stevie... do you remember who your brother might have gone out to see the other night?

(Stevie shakes his head "no.")

Did he say anything?

Through the peephole in the bathroom mirror, the man watches Scully. 

Scully hears footsteps in that direction and looks towards the mirror, but does not see anything. 

The man is gone from behind it. 

Mulder walks up to Scully.

MULDER: 

Scully, we'll meet you outside.

He and Mazeroski leave. Scully turns back to Stevie.

SCULLY: 

Well, thank you for your time.

Mulder and Mazeroski start down the front steps.

MULDER: 

Has this boy ever been in any trouble?

MAZEROSKI: 

Gary?

MULDER: 

Yeah.

MAZEROSKI: 

No, I've known him since he was a kid. Same age as my son. 

Now, he's done some beer drinking, but he's just your basic sixteen-year-old. Least he was.

MULDER: 

You see a noticeable difference in him?

MAZEROSKI: 

Yeah, yeah. Gary Kane lived for football. He's a damn good athlete too. Now he won't even suit up.

MULDER: 

The Red Museum... 

how are they treated by the local citizens?

Scully walks over.

MAZEROSKI: 

Nobody much cares for them.

MULDER:

Well, are they ever singled out? 

Shop owners refusing to sell to them, stuff like that?

MAZEROSKI: 

Well, there's a reasonable amount of tension 

but most folks are happy to just try to avoid them.

MULDER: 

Uh, can you recommend a good motel in the area?

MAZEROSKI: 

Sure. That means you're going to stay on for a bit. 

You think there might be something to this?

MULDER: 

Well, I, I want to run a background check 

on the church and this guy

MAZEROSKI: 

You've come to the right place for that.

SCENE 8 

CLAY'S BBQ

Scully sits with plates upon plates of food in front of her. 

She has a bib with the store logo on it, and it is covered with sauce. 

She finishes off a rib and puts down the bone, leaving some more sauce on her cheek by her lip. 

Mulder is sitting across from her with a bib on as well.

SCULLY: 

You know, Mulder... ribs like these, 

I'd say the Church of the Red Museum 

has its work cut out for it.

He wipes off the sauce on her face.

Thanks.

So, you started to tell me about walk-ins 

but I'm not sure if I grasped the finer points.

MULDER: 

Well, it, it's kind of a new age religion based on an old idea. 

That if you, uh, 

lose hope or despair 

and 

want to leave this mortal coil, 

you become 

open and vulnerable.

SCULLY: 

To inhabitation by a new spirit.

MULDER: 

A new enlightened spirit. 

According to the literature, 

Abe Lincoln was a walk-in. 

And Mikhail Gorbachev 

and Charles Colson, 

Nixon's advisor.

SCULLY: 

But not Nixon?

MULDER: 

No. Not even they want to claim Nixon.

I Do.
