(Scene: The next morning. ELIZABETH is walking on the beach on her own. She seems relaxed and happy. She is wearing a short-sleeved t-shirt, with TOBY's inscription visible on her upper arm. She looks out to sea for a few moments, smiling peacefully to herself. Then her mobile phone rings and she takes it out to answer it.)
(Scene: TOBY, on his own in the bungalow. He's holding up the vial of telepathic ink, turning it over in his hand. His mobile phone rings.)
TOBY (distractedly): Hello. Dina? Hi. What? Meet you at school? On a Saturday? Ok, ok. She's not here, ok? I'll be there in a few minutes.
(He leaves the house and starts to walk quickly in the direction of the school. We see 'DINA' waiting by the bleachers. She sees TOBY coming in the distance, quickly takes out her mobile phone and dials a number. She speaks into the telephone:
'DINA': Here he comes. Did you send the real Dina on her way? Good. And you're tracking Elizabeth, right? Good. Yeah, I'll keep you posted. (calls out to TOBY) Hey Toby! Over here.
(TOBY arrives, slightly out of breath): So what's happening? Why did you want to meet me here?
'DINA': I wanted to speak to you somewhere quiet. I have something very important to tell you. You're not going to like it, but you'll thank me in the end.
TOBY (frowning): Sounds ominous. What is it?
'DINA': Last night I managed to speak to someone in a government research institute. I told him about Elizabeth being a genius.
TOBY (horrified): You did what?
'DINA': They were really interested when I sent them some footage of Elizabeth's crazy press conference with the T-Rex.
TOBY: What? How did you even have such a thing?
'DINA': I got hold of some footage at the television station before Elizabeth had everything erased. I thought it might come in handy someday. But don't worry, I didn't tell them anything about you.
TOBY: Are you insane! How could you do this? Elizabeth has changed! She doesn't deserve this!
'DINA': You're kidding yourself if you think she's changed. Maybe she's behaving herself at the moment, but how long did you think it would take before the real Elizabeth showed up?
TOBY: I don't care. And if it ever came to that I'd deal with it myself. Just like I have every time.
'DINA': Yeah, but this time she's got you fooled too.
TOBY (angry): She hasn't got me fooled!
'DINA': How do you know?
TOBY: I just know. Anyway, I have to go and warn her.
'DINA': I wouldn't bother. They called me a few minutes to say that they had picked her up. They've taken her away for tests or something. We might not be seeing her for a while. If ever.
TOBY (exploding with anger): What?
'DINA': I know you're angry now, Toby. But you'll thank me in the end.
TOBY: You're wrong, Dina. (starts to walk away). I'll see you around.
'DINA': Where are you going?
TOBY: Back to the bungalow. See what I can do to fix this mess.
(He walks away).
('DINA' chuckles to herself then makes a phone call)
'DINA': He fell for it. Yeah I know it's a pretty unconvincing lie, but it only needs to hold for a little while. Ok, call me.
(Scene: The real DINA is standing around outside the bungalow, waiting for TOBY. After a couple of minutes TOBY arrives, out of breath. He is not at all pleased to see her.)
TOBY (angry and confused): What are you doing here?
DINA (confused): What do you mean? I came to speak to you.
TOBY: Did you come to apologise?
DINA: What for?
TOBY: You know what for.
DINA: Look, maybe I was a bit harsh yesterday.
TOBY: Yesterday? What about this morning?
DINA: What? (gears herself up to say something). Listen, I came over to tell you that I watched Elizabeth's memories, but I'm still not sure she's genuine.
TOBY (sarcastic): I bet you don't.
DINA: What? Anyway, I wanted to say that even though I'm not convinced she's genuine, I'm not going to do anything to come between you. I know that if Elizabeth's turns out to be a liar, you'll do what you have to do to stop her.
TOBY: That's rich after what you've just done.
DINA: What? I haven't done anything.
TOBY: Very funny. You know very well what you've done.
DINA: Again, what? I watched Elizabeth's memories last night, slept on it then came round to talk to you this morning.
TOBY (looks hard at her, now starting to realise that something is wrong): Just a second, how did you get here anyway?
DINA: Err… I walked over like always.
TOBY: How could you have walked here? You were here before me, and I ran. And you changed your clothes as well!
DINA: What?! This is what I put on this morning to come and see you.
TOBY: So we didn't just meet at school?
DINA: At school?
TOBY: To tell me that you reported Elizabeth to the authorities?
DINA: To the authorities? What for?
TOBY (stunned): For being a genius. Oh no.
DINA: What's going on?
TOBY: Somebody was just pretending to be you over at the school. They must have used the vivo polymer suit.
DINA: You mean those body switching suits you showed me in Elizabeth's lab?
TOBY (horrified): Yeah. Those ones. And because they were in Elizabeth's lab that means…
DINA: That Elizabeth was just pretending to be me! But why?
TOBY: When I found out you reported Elizabeth to the authorities I hit the roof.
DINA: Oh my goodness, Elizabeth was trying to frame me! To make you think that I would do the kind of thing…
TOBY (crestfallen): … That Elizabeth usually does.
DINA (seeing that TOBY is crushed): Toby, I'm sorry. Really. I have to admit I didn't think that she would try something this quickly.
TOBY: Well better now than later I suppose. Anyway, it's lucky that you came round to see me this morning. Who knows what would have happened otherwise.
DINA: So what do we do now?
TOBY: Confront her I guess. (He takes out his phone and dials ELIZABETH's number). She's not answering.
DINA: What a surprise.
(TOBY dials another number)
TOBY: Russ? Can you get over here now? It's an emergency. I'll tell you when you get here.
(He opens the door to the bungalow. He looks inside, pauses for a second, looks sadly inside, then opens the door wide.)
TOBY: Wait for me here. I'm going to go and get Sasha.
DINA: What's your plan?
TOBY: I haven't got one yet. But I reckon the first place to look for Elizabeth is in her lab.
DINA: Ok. (She steps inside doorway then turns and put her hand on TOBY's shoulder) Toby?
TOBY: Yeah?
DINA: It'll be ok.
(TOBY shrugs then runs off.)
(ELIZABETH still on the beach. She sees someone she knows in the distance, smiles and waves to them. We see 'TOBY' coming towards her, wearing different clothes from when we just saw him. They meet. When ELIZABETH goes to kiss him, he steps back.)
ELIZABETH (surprised): What's wrong?
'TOBY' (cross): I've been having a very strange morning so far.
ELIZABETH: What do you mean?
'TOBY': First I meet Dina at school and she tells me that she's reported you to the authorities and that they've taken you away for testing. Then, ten minutes later I meet Dina again, at my house. Only this Dina doesn't know anything about the conversation 'we' just had.
ELIZABETH: What? I don't understand.
'TOBY': Don't you? You haven't by any chance being using my vivo polymer suit, which is in your lab?
ELIZABETH (uncomprehending): Why would I?
'TOBY': To discredit Dina. To get her out of the way. So you can have complete control over me.
ELIZABETH (shocked): Toby, it's not true. I didn't do it. How could you think that I would want to do such a thing? All I've done today is go for a walk on the beach. I was here already when you called me.
'TOBY' (unimpressed): How can you expect me to believe you? I really thought you'd changed, Elizabeth. You really had me fooled this time. So congratulations.
ELIZABETH (breaking down): Toby, I didn't. I truly didn't…
'TOBY': So how do you explain the fact that there are two Dinas?
ELIZABETH (thinking): One of them is the real Dina and the other one is someone is impersonating her, I get that.
'TOBY': Yeah, but the only way for anyone to do that is to use the body switching suit in your lab.
ELIZABETH (suddenly has idea): Yes, and Dina has the key to my lab. She went in there, stole the polymer suit and had some accomplice impersonate her.
'TOBY' (sarcastic): 'Some accomplice'? Who? Mr Woods maybe?
ELIZABETH (upset): I don't know.
'TOBY' (leaving): Well, when you work it out, let me know. But better still, never speak to me again.
ELIZABETH (despairing): Toby, no… (She reaches out for him. He catches her by the wrist, holding her at arm's length, then pushes her back hard so that she falls backwards onto the sand. With that, 'TOBY' walks away. ELIZABETH gets up slowly, crying silently. Then she hyperfunctions. She has a really evil look on her face now.)
ELIZABETH: Dina… Dina… You like playing dirty all of a sudden? You want to see what it means to be really bad?
(She smiles cruelly and walks away. We see her leave the beach and head quickly back into town. The camera pans out to show us 'TOBY' at the wheel of RAUL's car, following her at a safe distance.)
(Scene: we see TOBY, DINA, RUSS and SASHA walking quickly away from the bungalow, armed with various pieces of equipment)
RUSS: Do we really need this stuff?
TOBY: I don't know. I haven't had an idea of how to stop Elizabeth yet, so I thought we should take as much stuff as possible just in case.
SASHA : This thing is heavy. How come Dina gets to carry the truth serum?
DINA: Calm down. We'll swap if you like.
TOBY: I'll take that. You take this. (They swop equipment).
SASHA: What is it?
TOBY: Elizabeth's anti-friction spray.
DINA: Hey I remember that!
SASHA: And what was that thing I was carrying?
TOBY: It allows you to see and hear through walls.
SASHA: Did Elizabeth invent that or did you?
TOBY: Elizabeth.
RUSS: This is cool, hitting Elizabeth with her own equipment.
TOBY. Yeah. Now we have to hurry.
(They hurry on towards the school.)
(Scene: ELIZABETH working alone in her lab. She is working on the conscience chip seen in the recording of her memories, which is connected to her laptop. She looks grimly determined.)
ELIZABETH (typing commands into her laptop): If it can work one way, it can work the other. So let's see how much Dina likes having no conscience. (She smiles darkly.)
ELIZABETH: Maybe I'll even get her to work for me in future! (continues typing commands. She frowns, stops for a moment and rubs her temples.)
EILZABETH: Almost there. (She continues typing. We see her frown and wince as she types, as if she's in pain.)
ELIZABETH: Finished! (She stands up and looks at the chip. Suddenly she hyperfunctions, only it's a different kind of hyperfunction. She groans with pain and doubles over, closing her eyes. After a few moments she raises her head. She seems to have a moment of clarity. Then she breaks down in tears.)
ELIZABETH: Oh no, no, no! (She unplugs the microchip and picks it up). I don't want to do this anymore! (She turns and throws the chip into a wastepaper basket. Then she sits down at the table with her head in her hands. We see RAUL in the lab, creeping up behind ELIZABETH. He reaches out and puts a rag over her mouth, making her fall unconscious.)
RAUL (stepping forward and talking to someone off-screen): Sometimes the old-fashioned ways are the best. Don't you reckon?
(We see 'ELIZABETH' step into view, smiling victoriously. She reaches down to the wastepaper basket, takes out the microchip and hands it to RAUL. He puts it in his pocket.)
RAUL: Help me get her out of here. (They carry ELIZABETH's limb body across the lab, then RAUL drags the unconscious ELIZABETH into the lift. The doors close, leaving 'ELIZABETH' alone in the lab.)
