ACT IV
46. INT. SCOTT LIVINGROOM –
NIGHT
The sound of rain begins
as NANCY tends to JON and PAUL’s bandages and JON and PAUL sit on the couch
drinking hot tea. JON and PAUL only had minor scratches, nothing broken.
NANCY
Did
anybody get seriously injured?
PAUL
One
of my lab techs had a lung collapse. She’s in the hospital right now in
critical condition.
JON
I
can’t imagine the repercussions this is going to have on your research.
PAUL
It
will put us back six months. But we will
get through it.
NANCY brings ice packs to
PAUL and JON. MUSIC begins here to set a tone for the MONTAGE coming up.
EXT. ECHO CITY STREETS –
NIGHT
RAIN is pouring down, and
water rushing through the street. MICHAEL and CODY wearing raincoats stand
under a streetlight waiting for DARIUS who approaches them.
DARIUS
The
weather didn’t call for a storm.
MICHAEL
You’d
be surprised how often the weatherman gets it wrong.
DARIUS
Come
with me.
MICHAEL and CODY follow
DARIUS down the street in the rain. The MUSIC is still going.
47. INT. O’NIEL PENTHOUSE
– NIGHT
Through the rain covered
window we see kids still having a fun time at the party. We zoom in on STELLA,
NOAH, and SEBASTIAN laughing and dancing. Across from them SIERRA and EVAN are
dancing together but EVAN clearly has his eyes on STELLA and is watching her
intently.
48. INT. JON’S BEDROOM –
NIGHT
JON walks in rubbing the
bandage around his arm. SAM pats him on the back in sympathy and exits the
room. JON takes off his silver jacket tossing it aside and looks up in a mirror
in his room. The MUSIC is still going. He grabs a near by pair of scissors and
begins cutting his long hair off.
TO BLACK:
49. INT. JON’S CLOSET –
NIGHT
The door opens and JON,
shirtless and with short hair, bags up black clothes to get rid of.
CUT TO:
50. INT. DEVOLA
ENTERPRISES ELEVATOR – NIGHT
MICHAEL, CODY, and DARIUS
wait as lights flash from the elevators movement. The door opens and they step
through-
51. INT. I.C.O.P. – NIGHT
DARIUS leads them through
a large open and matted area. Weight equipment and punching bags lay around the
edge of the room where mirrors are on the walls.
DARIUS
Welcome
to I.C.O.P. Not to be confused with the breakfast franchise. This is where you
are going to train, here at the Internal Core Operations Point.
DARIUS leads them to a
‘conference’ looking room.
DARIUS
When
times get tough meetings will be held.
DARIUS then leads them to
a small room with two cots.
DARIUS
And
in the mean time, you can sleep here, just until something more suitable is
found.
MICHAEL
This
seems a little much for just me.
DARIUS
This
isn’t just for you MICHAEL. A source of mine says there are three of your kind,
just in this city. Including you. Our goal is to find the other two.
MICHAEL
I
guess this is it. My future is changed forever.
MICHAEL Takes off his coat
and THE CORE SYMBOL is seen on his SHOULDER.
52. INT. SCOTT APARTMENT
HALLWAY – NIGHT
Just outside his bedroom
door JON walks in holding the two bags and sets them down. JON’s phone begins
ringing and he pulls it out to see JORDAN calling. He answers it.
JON
Hey.
JORDON (V.O.)
I
got your message.
JON
I’m
sorry about that.
JORDON
I
know this is hard for you when everyone you know is gone.
JON
I
may have overreacted by calling you.
JORDON
I
trust you will make new friends at this school. But you’ll always be distant if
you hold on to the idea that we’re still friends.
JON
You
know when Michael ran away, all I could think was that I was happy to have you
all to myself. But now I don’t even have you.
JORDON
Maybe
it’s time you leave your old life behind. Forget about Michael. He cared more
about finding his birth parents than staying here with his real family. And
forget about me. I’ve moved on- you should too.
JON
And
you’re completely right. I guess this is goodbye for the last time.
JORDON
Goodbye
Jonny.
JON clicks the phone off
and stares at it. The music ends and as he exhales the phone falls through (as in literally passing through, the impossible kind of passing through) his
hand and he gasps.
END OF PILOT
