(NOTE: If you didn't get the reference in the fifth story (the two agents) they are from a SciFi Channel show called The Invisible Man which airs on Fri. at 8:00(but will move to Mondays in January). So when I say Darien (Fawkes) appears as if from nowhere, I'm not on anything, I actually got it from somewhere).
Vision Girl
EXT: The Park, Night
Tommy is walking slowly through the park with a flashlight, rustling can be heard all around him.
(Tommy's Inner Monologue)
It's kind of embarrassing to be afraid of the dark at my age, not to mention that I'm a creature of the night by definition, but something about not being aware of what's around me freaks me out to no end. We'd been tracking a new demon that feeds on brain waves, leaving its victims idiots, minus two eyes. Good idea for a SciFi novel if it hadn't already happened. The books said the demon would hide out in wooded areas so here we are.
An owl hoots and he jumps a little.
(TIM)
Any number of ugly, disgusting creatures could jump out at any moment.
Merton runs out of the bushes and crashes into Tommy. He jumps back and drops his flashlight leaving everything in total darkness.
Tommy (Unseen): Thanks Merton.
Merton: Sorry, thought I heard something.
Tommy: Can you help me find my flashlight?
Rustling can be heard as they struggle to find it on the ground.
A circle of light shines on the flashlight on the ground. The camera moves up to see Lori with a bored look on her face.
Lori: We're not gonna find anything if you guys just sit around doing nothing.
Tommy grabs his flashlight and they get up.
Allison (Voice): Hey guys! I think I found something!
They rush off screen.
EXT: A Huge Tree
Tommy, Lori, and Merton join Allison at a large tree in the middle a clearing. They all lean in closer to examine a hole in the middle.
Tommy: What is it?
Merton holds up a shred of scales.
Merton: Skin.
Lori: I think everyone else is in agreement when I say "ewwwww".
Merton: It's not human.
Lori: Oh well that's a whole lot better.
Tommy: At least we know it was here.
A loud growl ring through the air.
Tommy: Okay, "was" was a bad choice of words.
A yellow skinned, reptile thing jumps on top of Tommy's back and throws him against the tree. He wolfs out.
Tommy: Get the arrows!
Allison pulls up a crossbow and tries to shoot it but the demon shoots a blue bolt of energy out of his mouth which knocks it out of her hand.
Allison: What the hell was that?
Merton: That's what the arrows are for.
He pulls up a spare crossbow and shoots it. The camera follows the arrow as it slices into the monster's chest. It snaps up in pain and shoots another beam, this time hitting Lori and sending her off camera.
Tommy: I thought you said it wouldn't be able to do that anymore.
Merton: That's what the book said, don't blame me, blame the book.
Tommy: Arrgh!
The demon runs away but rather than chase after it, Tommy and Merton go back to check on Lori.
Tommy: Are you all right?
He helps her up. She looks at Tommy confused.
Lori (a little dazed): I'm fine.
Allison: Sorry about back there.
Merton: It's okay.
Lori opens her eyes and they're sky blue. Tommy and Merton accidentally wince when they notice.
Lori: What?
INT: The Lair
Lori is looking at her eyes in the mirror. The others are sitting around the room.
Merton: I can't find anything to explain this.
Tommy: It's not that bad.
Lori turns around.
Lori: How am I gonna hide this from my parents?
Tommy: Just tell 'em they're contacts, it's the new fad.
Allison: Merton, I thought you said it wouldn't be able to feed for twenty-four hours after we shot him with that stuff.
Merton: The book said the Tabasco mixture would do the trick but I guess they were wrong.
Tommy: Well maybe it wasn't trying to feed, all the other victims that it hit with the ray didn't have any eyes, let alone freaky ones.
Lori glares at him.
Tommy: Sorry.
She starts to wobble a little bit, holding her head in pain. Tommy moves up and touches her on the arm.
Tommy: You okay?
Her head jerks down and then back up in a violent seizure, her pupils have disappeared. She regains her composure and stares at Tommy confused.
Tommy: What?
Lori: I don't know, had a flash or something.
Tommy: A flash?
Lori: Yeah, it was gray and a little fuzzy but it was you, you were falling, you wolfed out and then it just stopped.
Merton: Hallucinations?
Lori: No I don't think so… it was real… it seemed urgent.
Merton: How many fingers am I holding up?
Lori: thirty-two.
Tommy: So if these are real than why did a brain eating demon give them to Lori?
From across the room
Allison: Thought eating, but it wasn't him.
They go over to the computer screen where Allison is researching demons.
Allison: I got to thinking about what you said about the demon before. You said that it was a descendent of the Ragnok clan which all have the ability to speak and think rationally, the thing we met tonight didn't look like the smart type so I checked elsewhere.
She scrolls down.
Allison: Ta da! A Fereck demon.
Lori: I'm sure I would have noticed a face that ugly wasn't the face we were looking for.
Tommy: It was kind of dark. Plus, Merton, didn't you say the thought eater used its third eye to feed?
Merton: Guess I forgot that part. Oh, and the purple skin part too.
Allison (reading from computer screen): Although the Fereck demon has incredible psychic powers, for the most part, it is completely oblivious of them. It hunts for its food, inadvertently using its power to paralyze its prey. It also tries to create a connection with its victims by giving over certain attributes to said victim for a long-term hunt.
Lori: Painful vision whenever I come in contact with someone AND a savage demon out to kill me, damn it's great day
Allison: That does suck, sorry Lori.
Merton: What are you talking about, this is great.
Lori: What?
Merton: Well the demon thing sucks but think of what we have here.
Tommy: What are you talking about?
Merton: Until we figure out how to get rid of this curse, we have a genuine fortuneteller.
Lori: You are not using me as a party quark, Merton.
Merton: Just think of it as taking advantages of an advantage.
Lori: Right.
Tommy: Tell you what, let's go to the Factory to take our minds off of all this.
Allison: You guys have to do a lot of that don't you?
Merton: You'd be surprised how calming the Factory can be after you've been cursed with obesity or invisibility, it's just something about the atmosphere of the place.
Lori: I can't go out looking like this anyway.
Tommy: Just get some sunglasses, it'll be fine.
Tommy turns around and takes a few steps over to get his coat, neglecting to notice the pile of books in his way.
Allison: Watch out for the…
Tommy trips and falls on his face.
Allison: …books
Growls can be heard as he comes back up wolfed out and embarrassed.
Merton: Well, you were warned.
INT: Hotel Room
A dark blonde haired woman (Claire, to save time) is unpacking her cloths as Darien Fawkes and the short agent (Bobby Hobbes, also to save time) are sitting around the room.
Claire: So?
Bobby: So what?
Claire: You still haven't told me why I needed to come down here. You found the clone, god knows we all want that ordeal to be over, why not just apprehend him and be done with it.
(pause)
Claire: Well
Darien: You're not going to believe us.
Claire: Try me.
Bobby: Have you ever seen a werewolf?
Claire: A werewolf?
Darien: Yeah, sharp teeth, lotta facial hair.
Claire: Can't say I have, seeing as how they don't exist.
Darien: See, told you.
Claire Oh come on. Are you saying there's a living, breathing werewolf in this town?
Bobby: There used to be two, one killed the other one.
Darien: We don't really know what the other thing was.
Claire: And when did you see all of this?
Bobby: Couple of nights ago, it and a few kids were talking to our clone, and here's the kicker, one of the kids was supposed to be plant food.
Darien: There was two of the same kid.
Claire: I should have packed more stuff.
She lets her suitcase fall closed in mock surrender.
INT: The Factory
Tommy, Merton and Lori are sitting at the bar; Lori is wearing black gloves and sunglasses that match her black jacket and jeans. She is sipping her drink and looking very depressed. In the crowd, two bald guys in dark glasses are watching them.
Tommy: I don't see what you're stressing over.
Merton: Some demon curse make you blind?
Tommy: Something like this happens all the time and we always fix it, this'll be gone by the end of the week.
Merton and Allison join them at the bar.
Merton: Hey guys.
Lori: Hey Merton.
Merton: Why so glum?
Tommy: Oh she's just bummed about the whole "painful visions" thing.
Merton: Speaking of which.
He reaches into his pocket.
Merton: I was thinking, what if it doesn't just work on people, but inanimate objects too?
He pulls out a small slip of paper and shows it to Lori.
Merton: Touch it and see if my lottery ticket won.
Allison: Merton, that's mean.
Merton: She knows I'm only kidding.
Lori: Yeah.
Allison: I want to dance.
Merton: Oh I don't know.
Allison: Come on.
Merton: I can't dance.
Lori: What are you talking about?
All through this next speech Merton will be pantomiming, doing the "cut it out" motion across his neck and the time out motion with his hands.
Lori: When you were three hundred pounds, you were break dancing and spinning around like a pro.
Allison turns her head and he stops instantly.
Allison: Is that true?
Merton: Yeah, I must have forgot.
She drags him to the dance floor.
Tommy: Now that was mean.
Lori: He deserved it.
Lori takes a drink and then sneezes, going down and then back up.
Tommy: Bless you.
Lori: Tha…
Her head slams down on the bar in another violent seizure.
Vision
The camera is gray and fuzzy but you can barely make out, a guy running from a ferocious creature.
INT: The Bar
Tommy: What happened, I didn't touch you?
Camera moves to the right to see an old guy talking to the bartender.
Old Guy: I'll have what she's having.
Camera moves back.
Tommy: Are you all right?
Lori: Not really, those really pack a wallop.
Tommy: What did you see?
Lori: It was some kid, he was being chased by our demon.
Tommy: Let's go.
INT: Dance Floor
Tommy and Lori walk onto the dance floor to find Allison standing awestruck by Merton who is doing cliché dances very badly, the cabbage patch and the eye thing from pulp fiction come to mind.
Tommy: Come on Merton.
Merton: What? I was just getting warmed up.
They pull him off screen and Allison follows them.
Lori: No you weren't.
EXT: Street, Night
The street is in front of a Burger King for future reference. The gang is in the bushes staking out the street for anything unusual.
Merton: Are you sure this is where the vision was?
Lori: Positive.
Tommy: So how did the book say we kill this thing again?
Allison: Hit it with something really hard.
Merton: What?
Allison: Keep in mind I'm paraphrasing.
Merton: Oh.
Tommy: Hey Merton, I thought you said the vision would only come when she touched somebody.
Merton: Well, either that was never the case at all or her powers are getting stronger, the later of which is my guess.
Tommy: "the later of which is my guess" who talks like that?
Merton: Well not all of us are intelligent enough for proper speech and grammar.
Tommy: Are you insinuating that I'm stupid?
Merton: Insinuating?
Lori: Shut up, both of you.
Pounding on the ground can be heard from close by. Suddenly a guy runs around the corner of the Burger King and jets down the sidewalk. The Fereck demon comes out from around the corner and runs after him. A rock hits him in the side from off screen.
Tommy: Hey Fereck, did you drop that?
The Fereck growls and than recognizes Lori, he lunges at her but Tommy swoops his arm up and throws him into a street light, wolfing out in mid-swing.
INT: Burger King
Darien and Bobby are sitting in a booth by the window; Darien is the only one eating.
Bobby: How can you eat that stuff? It's way too fattening.
Darien: You would know, you're the expert on fat content.
Bobby: You know, I'm gonna let that one slide because I…Hey, isn't that…?
Tommy slams into the window and lands on their table.
Tommy: Hi.
D and B: Hi.
The agents respond in shock as the demon jumps through the broken window and lands on top of Tommy, choking him with its claws. Due to fear, a metallic silver liquid starts seeping down Darien's forehead (you have to watch their show to know what that means).
Bobby: Fawkes!
Darien feels his forehead and runs out of the restaurant, he passes Merton, Allison, and Lori as they come in the door. Every one starts rampaging out the door, Bobby is watching from behind the grills.
Tommy: Little help.
Lori: Got it.
She pulls a fire extinguisher off the wall and shoots it at the demon; it flies back out the broken window.
Merton: You all right man?
Tommy: Yeah.
He starts to get up and sees the demon jumping up again, he rolls out of the way and it flies right into Lori just as she swings the fire extinguisher, slamming it in the head.
Lori: I think that was hard enough.
They all walk up to the lifeless body on the ground; Tommy is human again.
Allison: It's dead right?
Tommy: I think so.
Merton pokes it with a stick.
Merton: Seems pretty dead to me.
Tommy: Than why does Lori still have the freaky eyes.
Lori glares at him again.
Tommy: Sorry again.
Allison: Maybe we weren't supposed to kill it, maybe we needed it alive.
Bobby: FBI, hands up!
They turn to Bobby pointing a gun at them; they all raise their hands in unison.
EXT: Street, Night
In the background, Bobby shoves the gang into the van.
EXT: Different Street, Night
The guy that was being chased is revealed to be carrying a rolled up scroll in his hand, he is still running for his life, he passes an alley and is pulled in by a green mutated hand.
INT: Interrogation Room
The four teens are sitting in an all-gray room with Bobby and Claire staring at them.
Bobby: So what do you have to say for your selves.
Merton: We're really sorry and it'll never happen again?
Allison: What are we in here for?
Bobby: I think you know.
Allison: No we don't.
Bobby: Yes you do.
Merton: No we don't.
Bobby: Yes you…
Unseen Darien (Voice): Give it a rest.
Darien walks into the room through the door.
Darien: Hi, my name is Darien, the attractive English woman is Claire and that's my partner the not as attractive Bobby Hobbes.
T, M, and A in Unison: Hi.
Darien: Let me level with ya, we've been watching you for a couple of weeks now and we need to know what's going on.
Tommy: I don't know what you mean.
Darien: Look, I'm not an idiot, I went through puberty, the facial hair thing doesn't go that far.
Claire: You're a werewolf.
Darien: And frankly that freaked us out, but it's not why were here.
Bobby: Were here about your clone.
Darien: More specifically, why it's still here. Do you have any idea?
Merton: That's a whole "ghost bent on revenge thing" you have nothing to do with
Darien: Okay so that's ghosts, aliens, and werewolves, anything else?
Allison: That thing Lori killed was a savage demon.
Darien: Spectacular.
Claire: Uh, hello?
Lori had been staring into space and suddenly snaps out of it.
Lori: Huh?
Bobby: What's with the eye…
Darien elbows him in the ribs.
Darien: Shut up man.
Lori: No it's all right, it was that demon, the one you saw in the restaurant.
Bobby: The one you killed?
Lori: Yeah, it gave me these visions, along with the eyes.
Darien: Exactly how often do you guy do that? Kill demons, I mean.
Tommy: Often.
Bobby: Is that what you were doing when you killed that other werewolf?
Merton: What other werewolf?
Bobby: The one in the warehouse.
Merton: That wasn't a werewolf, it was just another demon.
Darien: See, I told you.
Lori clutches her head in slight pain.
Claire: Is this a vision?
Vision
An eye opens and glows, close up of a guy falling to the ground with no eyes.
Flashes back into reality.
Merton: What did you see?
Lori: It was the thought eater, it got someone else.
Claire: Thought eater?
Tommy: Let's go.
They get up and start to leave.
Bobby: Hey, this isn't over.
Merton: Wait a second, let me see your badges again.
Darien shows him his badge.
Merton: Yeah I thought so, while I fully respect the offices of "Fish and Game", I don't think this is anywhere near your jurisdiction, plus we really do have to go.
Tommy: Merton, do you have any of those arrows left?
Merton: Yeah they're at the Lair, I'll swing around and get them.
Tommy: Good.
The agents look confused.
Tommy: If you want to come and watch then you stay back.
They exchange glances.
Tommy: It could get messy.
EXT: Pleasantville, Night
Quick shots of the van turning corners and the hearse turning into a driveway.
INT: The Lair
Merton walks into the Lair and picks up the crossbow and arrows on the desk.
Voice from off screen: Hello.
Merton jumps up in shock and drops the contents he is holding. The camera turns to see one of those bald guys with dark glasses.
Bald Guy: Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you.
Merton picks up the crossbow and aims it at the intruder.
Merton: Who are you?
Bald Guy: My name is Tamin and I am looking for Lori Baxter.
Merton: What do you want with Lori.
Tamin: I am here on behalf of a group of people with a similar gift.
Merton: Gift?
He tightens his grip on the crossbow as Tamin pulls off his sunglasses and reveals that he has the same all white eyes.
Tamin: We were alerted of another messenger, this Lori Baxter, and we came to your town to find her.
Merton: Can you help her?
Tamin: Help her?
Merton: Yeah, we killed the demon but it didn't go away.
Tamin: We have no intention of taking it away, it is the best thing that can happen to someone. We came here to take her to our compound so she can learn about her powers.
Merton: She doesn't want to learn about them, she wants them gone.
Tamin: What makes you so sure she does?
(pause)
Tamin: Tell her about us, tell her about our offer, and tell her that if she makes up her mind, to contact us at this number.
He gives Merton a card and then touches his head with his index finger.
Tamin: You better go.
Merton: Why.
Tamin: Your friends are about to get into some trouble.
INT:???
Close up on a set of sharp yellow teeth surrounded by purple skin, it licks its lips.
INT: Graveyard, Night
Camera pans out to see it is a three-eyed demon smiling. A body is lying on the ground behind him.
Demon: Mmm, must have been an honor student.
The gang (minus Merton) along with Darien, Bobby, and Claire walk through the entrance into graveyard. Merton runs up behind them holding the weapons.
Merton: It's all right I'm here.
The demon turns to them.
Tommy: Hi.
Thought Eater: Who are you?
Merton: Think of us as the Pleasantville equivalent to the Ghostbusters, taking down any supernatural phenomena that threatens our little hamlet.
Tommy: Aren't you being a tad over-dramatic?
Merton: Don't start with me Tommy.
Claire: That thing is amazing.
Allison: Yeah that sense of wonder, you get over that.
Tommy: We're here to politely ask you to stop eating people's thoughts.
Thought Eater: And if I refuse?
Tommy: Oh, then we kick your ass.
The Thought Eater stands up straight, revealing that he is close to eight feet tall.
Merton: Yeah this is doable.
It riles up and roars, showing it's sharp teeth and third eye.
Merton: Okay.
Allison: Tommy, are you gonna…?
Tommy: Yeah. Could somebody…?
Merton: Sure.
Merton swings his fist to the side, punching Tommy in the stomach. He goes down and then gets back up, wolfed out.
Tommy: Thanks.
He walks up to the demon and puts up his fists.
Tommy: Let's do this.
Back to the group.
Darien: What can we do?
Merton: Nothing. He has it all under control.
Tommy is thrown across the graveyard and lands face down at their feet.
Merton: Or not.
Darien backs up into the shadows. The demon charges at them.
Allison: Merton, the crossbow.
Merton: Oh yeah.
He lifts up the crossbow and shoots it. The arrow lands right into the demons stomach causing him to fall backwards. It starts to get up.
Bobby: What do you do now.
Merton: Now, Tommy can easily take him down.
He looks at Tommy, still unconscious on the ground.
Merton: Oh right. I think we run now.
The Thought Eater stands back up and pulls the arrow out of his stomach.
EXT: Outside Street of Graveyard, Night
A black car pulls up and four people dressed in all black stealth suits jump out.
INT: Graveyard, Night
The group is scattered around the Graveyard, losing the battle.
Claire: I don't get it, you've shot that thing dozens of times and it just gets back up.
Merton: Its psychic power heals any minor injury.
Bobby is leaning over Tommy.
Bobby: Come on buddy, wake up, you've still gotta job to do.
EXT: Beach (Tommy's Dream)
Tommy and a super model are running playfully down the beach. Tommy trips and falls on his back. The girl drops down on top of him. Close up on her face as it fades into…
INT: Graveyard, Night
…Bobby's.
Bobby: Wake up.
Tommy leans up and pouts his lips to kiss what he thinks is the girl, he opens his eyes just before he does and backs up immediately.
Tommy (Grossed Out): Hey man, what's up?
Bobby: Uh, demon, over there.
Tommy: Right.
He gets up, then turns back around.
Tommy: Let us never speak of that, ever.
Bobby: Speak of what?
Tommy: Good.
He walks off screen. The demon charges Lori and picks her up. She winces and then starts to laugh.
Thought Eater: What are you laughing at?
Lori: A tree branch about this long.
Thought Eater: Huh?
Tommy swings a long tree branch at the back of his head and he goes down, dropping Lori to the ground.
Tommy: Funny, I just killed this demon yet I can't think of anything witty to say.
Allison: I think any witty retort would be lost on us due to the recent shock.
Tommy: I guess.
Bobby: Okay, can we get out of here please?
Merton: What's the matter, afraid he might get up?
The demon gets up and shoots a beam at Bobby. He is pushed out of the way by an unseen force. A gun appears out of thin air and shoots the demon in the head. Darien appears holding the gun, shedding silver flakes (see the show to watch this happen).
Bobby: Thanks Fawkes.
(pause)
Allison: That was so cool.
Merton: We should get out of here.
Claire: What do you do with the body?
Tommy: What do you mean?
Claire: The dead demon body on the ground.
Tommy: Nothing.
Claire: Won't somebody find it?
They shrug.
Claire: I give up, let's just go.
EXT: Graveyard, Night
The group walks out of the graveyard, Lori lagging behind.
Merton: Oh wait, Lori, I forgot to tell you…
The all black guys jump out of the bushes and grab Lori.
Tommy: Lori!
One of the guys shots his rifle at Tommy, sending an electric bolt through his body. He wolfs out and falls down just as the throw Lori into their car.
Merton: What the hell?
Phone Conversation
Tamin: Hello? Lori?
Tommy: No, this is Tommy. What have you done with her?
Tamin: What do you mean?
Tommy: Some of your goons kidnapped Lori.
Tamin: We would never want to kidnap her, as I told your friend, it is her choice.
Tommy: Somehow I just can't belief you.
Tamin: Maybe you should ask some of your new acquaintances.
Tommy: Huh?
(click)
INT: The Lair
A hairy hand slams the phone down; the group is sitting around the Lair looking hopeless.
Merton: What did he say?
Tommy: He said they didn't have her.
Merton: This guy was really weird, I wouldn't put it past them to take her away.
(pause)
Allison (at the computer): Hey guys, I think I've got something.
They rush over to the computer.
Allison: I put in the license plate number into the search engine, it's a government number.
Merton: Government number?
Tommy: Did you have anything to do with this?
Darien: No
Bobby looks around suspiciously again.
Darien: Bobby, did you send those guys after her?
Bobby: What? No way!
Claire: Bobby?
Bobby: Okay fine, I called 'em.
Tommy picks him up and slams him into the wall.
Tommy: Why?
Bobby: I don't know, I guess I was afraid!
Tommy: Afraid?
Bobby: I was afraid of you. They were supposed to take you, not Lori.
Tommy: You didn't have to be afraid of me.
He pushes him harder into the wall.
Tommy: Until now!
Darien: Hold up, he didn't know what he was doing.
Bobby: I tried to call it off but they wouldn't listen.
Tommy drops him to his feet.
Darien: Its all right man.
Darien punches him, hard in the face. Tommy picks him up and shoves him into the wall.
Tommy: Where is she?
Bobby: I don't know.
Tommy drops him.
Allison: If their government, they're probably at the government facility outside of town.
Claire: That's kind of convenient.
Allison: Well where else would she be?
Merton: Let's go.
Tommy: No I want to do this on my own.
Darien: I'm coming with you.
Tommy: No.
Darien: I can get you through.
Tommy: Fine.
Darien: We'll take the van.
Bobby: Can I come?
D and T: No!
Tommy and Darien leave via the stairs.
INT: Operating Room
A bright light shines direct and is moved away to show two doctors looking down at Lori.
Doctor 1: Pupils appear to be…gone.
Doctor 2: That's pretty much a given, doctor.
Doctor 1: Well, let's get to it.
Doctor 2 pushes a laser-like device into view.
EXT: Facility, Night
The van pulls up in front of a military facility. Tommy and Darien get out of the car and walk up to the door.
Tommy: Well?
Darien: Well what?
Tommy: You said you could get through, so open the door.
Darien: I turn invisible, I don't walk through walls.
Tommy: You're useless.
Darien: Think of it this way, I could go around and sneak into the back, come through, and open the door, but by then that girl will be dissected two times over.
(pause)
Darien: Just break it down.
INT: Facility Lobby
The door breaks down after Tommy kicks it; they walk through.
Tommy: Hmm, no guards.
Darien: Let's go.
INT: Facility Hallway
Tommy and Darien are walking down the hall.
Darien: Maybe this isn't the right place.
Tommy: It's the only shot we've got.
A guard turns the corner at the end of the hall.
Darien: Watch out.
He pulls Tommy into the nearest door.
INT: Room
Darien and Tommy are sitting in the room waiting for the guard to pass.
Darien: Okay I think he's gone.
Tommy notices something on the computer in the corner.
Darien: What?
He moves up to read the text on the screen over Tommy's shoulder.
Darien: "Patterns of Lycanthropic Behavior"?
Tommy: It's about me, well werewolves at least.
Darien: All your weaknesses, like someone's trying to take you down.
There's a knock at the door.
Voice: Uh, Dr. Croft?
They exchange nervous glances.
Voice: You there?
Tommy (In Mock-Falsetto Voice): I'm sorry I can't be disturbed right now.
Darien mouths "What are you doing?" and Tommy shrugs.
Voice: Oh, I just came by to pick up that disk for the guys in 318.
Tommy: Oh…
He pulls an unmarked disk from the computer desk and slips it under the door.
Tommy: Here ya go.
INT: Hallway
The disk slips through the bottom of the door and the guard picks it up.
INT: Room
Voice: Thanks man.
They here footsteps as the guard leaves.
Darien: How the hell did that work?
Tommy: You'd be surprised with what you can get away with in this town.
He opens the door and looks both ways.
Tommy: Okay, I think the coast is clear.
INT: Hallway
Tommy walks out into the hallway and a gun is shoved in his face.
Guard: You actually thought I believed you?
Tommy: I though maybe you were stupid.
Guard: Ya know I was gonna take to the office so they could decide what to do with you but I might just waste you right now.
His head goes down and then he falls to the ground in front of Tommy. Darien becomes visible, holding a hard plastic binder.
Tommy: I take it back, you are useful for something.
INT: Different Hallway
They stand in front of a door marked 318.
Darien: You think this is right?
Tommy: There's always a chance.
INT: Operating Room
The door burst open and they enter to see the two doctors operating the laser on Lori.
Darien: Did I ever tell you how cool that is?
Tommy: Lori!
He runs up to the operating table and takes off her straps.
Tommy: Are you all right?
Doctor 1: What are you doing here?
He turns to the doctor and starts to back him into a wall.
Tommy: Were gonna take her home now, and you're not gonna do anything about it.
The doctor hits the wall and shakily pulls out a cross necklace. Tommy swats his hand away and punches him in the head, causing him to fall down. The other doctor tries to run out of the door but Darien stops him with his hand and punches him, causing him to fall as well. Lori gets up.
Darien: you all right?
Lori: Yeah I'm fine.
Darien: Well that guard's gonna get up soon so we better get out of here.
INT: The Lair
The gang is sitting in the Lair, relieved that Lori is back.
(Tommy's Inner Monologue)
Okay, everything is good: all demons are vanquished, and all government interference is gone, there's only one more thing to take care of.
INT: Tommy's House, Kitchen
Tommy and Lori are talking.
Lori: So, Merton told me about the others, the ones with the visions.
Tommy: So…
Lori: I'm going with them.
Tommy: Oh.
Lori: I want to learn more about them, and their the only way to do that.
(pause)
Lori: You gonna be all right?
Tommy: Yeah, just promise me one thing.
Lori: What?
Tommy: Don't shave your head.
She laughs and pulls him into a hug. After a second or two she lets go and walks out of the archway into the living room, she turns around before she leaves.
Lori: Uh, Tommy?
Tommy: Yeah?
Lori: Could you take a few steps to your left.
He obeys and a small remote-control car drives past Tommy's feet, where he was standing, and goes into the living room, it has a sandwich on a plate on top of it.
INT: Living Room
The car drives in front of Dean's chair and he picks up the sandwich.
INT: Kitchen
Lori: Bye Tommy.
Tommy: Bye.
She leaves.
(TIM)
Well, I guess everything is good and wrapped up.
