INT. A MAKESHIFT BEDROOM

"Five Months On..." reads at the bottom of the screen.

Up close shot of CLAIRE'S face, who is lying down on her bed. She is bruised all over her face, looking to have been severely beaten. She looks to be in a sombre, yet penseive, mood, almost seeming to be reflecting upon the past 5 months since she revealed people with abilities to the world. She suddenly sits up as someone enters the room. She looks over the door, and, looking disgruntled, lays back on the bed.

MALE VOICE:

It's time to take your meds...

Shot to see that it is WEST stood at the door, holding a glass of water and two pills in his hands. Sensing he is going to get no response from CLAIRE, he just moves over to the bed and sits at the end. He holds out the water and pills to her, but to no response.

WEST:

Claire, please just take them...

CLAIRE:

Make him go away

WEST:

Rene?

We come to realise that CLAIRE suddenly hasn't been able to heal herself and thus is being made to live out her life as if she were normal, recovering from her injuries as anyone would.

CLAIRE:

Who else?

WEST:

You know why he's here...

CLAIRE:

I'm not normal though, West!

CLAIRE sits up angrily.

CLAIRE (cont'd):

You need to give me back my powers

WEST:

Look... you know that's not up to me,

WEST sighs as he realises he is just going to get into the same debate once again with CLAIRE.

WEST (cont'd):

I'll leave them here

WEST moves over to CLAIRE'S bed side table where a collection of pills is not starting to pile up. He then gets up and moves over to the door.

WEST (cont'd):

Please Claire? I'll be back in a few hours

He gives her a weak smile, and exits into the hallway, locking the door behind him.

CUT TO:

INT. HALLWAY

WEST exits CLAIRE'S room, and bumps straight into someone. He looks up and sees that it is NOAH. A sense of shock comes across him as he wasn't expecting it to be NOAH. NOAH hasn't seen CLAIRE since the day at the carnival, five months ago.

WEST:

Oh I'm sorry, Mr. Bennet!

NOAH gives him a weak smile

NOAH:

Don't worry West. Is she still protesting?

NOAH motions his head to CLAIRE'S bedroom door.

WEST:

I've tried my hardest with her, but she's still refusing to take her meds. She just wants her powers back

NOAH:

Well, I'm not letting that happen any time soon...

There is an awkward silence between the two of them as WEST isn't sure what to say in response.

WEST:

Well, I better get going.

He scuttles past NOAH and makes his way down cold, steel and hostile corridor. NOAH begins to insert the key into the door, opening up the large steel door.

CUT TO:

INT. MAKESHIFT BEDROOM

CLAIRE has laid back down on her bed now but she jumps up once more as her door begins to open.

CLAIRE:

I'm not taking them, West...

VOICE (NOAH'S):

It's not West Claire...

NOAH now enters the room. Shot to CLAIRE'S face as she seems to express a complete array of emotions from rage, confusion and love. This is the first time in 5 months since they have seen each other and there is an awkward moment as neither really know what to do. Suddenly, CLAIRE jumps up from her bedroom and runs to NOAH, embracing him tightly .The just as quickly as she embraced him, she pushes him away, giving him an icy cold stare.

CLAIRE:

You know I hate you...?

NOAH nods disappointedly, looking almost broken as she says this.

NOAH:

I know... but Claire you have to take your medication... Stop rebelling and accept the consequences of what you have done

CLAIRE:

Just let me out of here! Let me have my powers back,

NOAH reaches out an arm to her, but CLAIRE pushes it back.

CLAIRE (cont'd):

No, Dad...

Shot to NOAH's face as his eyes almost become filled rage! NOAH actually forcefully grabs CLAIRE pushing her back onto her bed.

NOAH:

You silly little girl! You don't have a clue what you've done do you?

CLAIRE:

I know fully well what I did!

NOAH gets right up in CLAIRE'S face, almost spitting out his words at her

NOAH:

Oh really?

NOAH goes and grabs the briefcase that he has dropped onto the floor whilst grabbing CLAIRE. He angrily opens it and pulls out a photo from it. He shoves it in front of CLAIRE'S face. Shot of the photo. It is a depiction of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ almost as 3 large crosses stand atop a hill, with 3 people each nailed to one of the crucifixes. We come to realise as we look at the photo that these people are STEPHEN, BRIAN and CARLY from the opening of the episode. Shot back to CLAIRE as her faces to turn to horror and she grabs the photo from NOAH, placing it on her lap and staring at it more intensely.

CLAIRE:

What is this?

NOAH:

That's the rebellion we are seeing from normaly humans, Claire... All 3 of them are specials.

Brian Walsh aged 19... had the power of lung adaptation, leaving behind his parents. Stephen Knowles, aged 42... he was a Glass Manipulator, leaves behind a wife and daughter. Carly Cooper, aged 33... she had the power of Elasticity and now her 2 kids are in foster care. Claire, this is what you've done!

CLAIRE shakes her head at such a graphic depiction of these people's deaths.

NOAH (cont'd):

Do you realise the consequences now?

CLAIRE sits in silence

NOAH (cont'd):

Take the meds, Claire. They've got you once already and you escaped just in time... Don't let them get you again. Learn to lead a normal life, please... for your own sake...

Once again, CLAIRE doesn't reply to NOAH. NOAH just shakes his head in response, and picks up his briefcase.

NOAH (cont'd):

I'm sorry it's been so long, Claire bear, but it's difficult... I'll see you soon...

NOAH slowly makes his way over to the door, with a sense of reluctance about his movements- he doesn't want to leave his daughter, but he realises she must realise what she has done to the world. He then lets himself out. Shot back to CLAIRE who places the photo on her bedside table and grabs two of the pills and glass of water. She reluctantly downs the pills and glugs back some water, placing the glass back on her bedside table. She then takes a moment and suddenly bursts into tears.
