EPISODE TWO

INT. JAILCELL – NIGHT

John and Damon are both sleeping. Damon awakes after a sudden rumble which shakes the whole cell. Damon stands up and looks around the cell.

Damon shakes his head and sits down. The cell then shakes again. This time John wakes up.

JOHN

What is that?

DAMON

I don’t know.

Damon stands up again and John sits up. The rumble happens once more.

DAMON

Shit.

Damon grabs on the bed so he don’t fall over.

DAMON

This ain’t good.

Suddenly the floor caves in and John and Damon both fall. The whole building collapses.

CUT TO:

INT. JAILCELL

John wakes up. He is sweating. He looks around the cell and sees Damon is awake.

DAMON

Bad dream?

John looks around the cell.

JOHN

Yeah. Just a bad dream.

DAMON

Get used to it. I still have them.

John looks at Damon.

DAMON

I barely sleep anymore.

John nods his head.

DAMON

Have your dreams ever become reality?

John shakes his head at Damon.

JOHN

No.

DAMON

Feel lucky then, it’s a bad feeling. It’s like you seen it all before and you know what’s going to happen. And you can’t do shit about it.

JOHN

What happened?

DAMON

This place.

JOHN

You dreamt about this place?

DAMON

No in this place. I was dreaming in here one night. That fat fucker came in here and took me away. He made me kill a person… a child.

JOHN

You dreamt that?

DAMON

Yeah and the next day it happened. What did you dream about?

JOHN

That this whole place collapsed and we all died.

DAMON

Now that would be a good dream.

Damon starts to laugh followed along by John.

DAMON

It’s a terrible feeling, killing a child.

JOHN

Did he have a reason?

DAMON

Fuck no. He is sick in every way possible. And not even the Devil could change that.

John shakes his head. John then notices a light from the corner of the cell.

JOHN

What is that?

John gets up and walks over to the corner of the room. A hole is at the bottom. John gets on his knees and crawls over to it. He looks in it.

After a minute he gets up. He has a shocked look on his face. Damon looks at him, scared. He then gets on his knees and crawls over to the hole. He looks inside.

INT. UNKNOWN ROOM

A woman is seen tied to a chair. A sock is tied around her head and in her mouth.

INT. JAIL CELL

DAMON

Holy shit.

The woman then looks up towards the hole. Damon quickly moves out of the way.

JOHN

What?

DAMON

She heard me.

John looks over at the hole.

DAMON

She better not say anything. I swear, she better not.

John shakes his head.

DAMON

Don’t worry man. If she wants to live she would keep her mouth shut.

CUT TO:

INT. UNKNOWN ROOM

The girl is sitting there. She is staring up at the hole. An Agent then walks in wearing a black ski mask. The girl looks at the Agent. The Agent quickly walks over to her.

AGENT

What up Jill?

The Agent then gets to her and slaps her really hard. Jill almost falls over. Jill stares at him.

AGENT

Oh you can’t talk?

(Beat)

I’m sorry.

The Agent gets the sock out of her mouth.

JILL

You stupid mother fucker I hope you fuc-

The Agents punches her in the face.

AGENT

The only time YOU say something is when I ask the fucking questions!

Jill nods her head. The Agent looks at her.

AGENT

Psh.

The Agent then pulls out a gun and shoots her in the head.

CUT TO:

INT. JAIL CELL

JOHN

Shit!

John quickly moves away from the hole. Damon moves over towards the hole and looks in it.

DAMON

Who shot her?

JOHN
The fucking guy in there!

Damon looks over at John.

DAMON

There is no guy in there.

Damon looks back in the hole. Suddenly a metal pipe is pushed through the hole and hits Damon the eye. Damon falls back and the whole pole is in the room.

JOHN

Oh shi-

John quickly grabs the pole and stands by Damon. John looks around.

JOHN

You okay Damon?

John continues to look around.

DAMON

Yeah.

Damon gets up. A bloody red mark is around his eye.

DAMON

They’ll be coming now.

JOHN

I know.

DAMON

How many you think?

JOHN

I have no clue.

DAMON

Let me see the pole real quick.

John looks at him.

DAMON

Just for a second.

John hands Damon the pole.

DAMON

Thank you…

Damon quickly swings the pole where the hole was. The hole becomes bigger. He then continues to hit it.

SMACK!

SMACK!

SMACK!

SMACK!

The hole then becomes big enough for a person to fit through.

DAMON

Let’s go.

Damon jumps down the hole followed by John.

INT. UNKNOWN ROOM

There is no one else in the room except for the dead woman. Damon hands John the pole and smiles. Damon walks over to a table where two guns are seen.

Damon picks up both guns.

DAMON

You want the pole or the gun?

John smiles and walks over to Damon and takes the gun. He puts the gun in his pocket and continues to carry the pole.

JOHN

We gotta get outta here.

DAMON

It’s impossible to get out of here unnoticed. We need a plan.

JOHN

What about the elevator.

DAMON

People use the elevator John.

JOHN

Not inside the elevator. The path it uses.

DAMON

You mean the elevator-

JOHN

Yeah.

Damon looks around the room.

DAMON

First we need to get to the elevator without being seen.

JOHN

Think we can do it?

Damon smiles.

DAMON

Of course we can.

CUT TO:

INT. HALLWAY

An empty hallway with many doors. A door is seen opened and John sticks his head out it.

JOHN

Come on.

John leaves the room followed by Damon. John looks down each end of the hallway.

DAMON

I don’t see the elevator entrance. Do you remember where it was?

John continues to looks down both ways.

JOHN

This way.

John goes down the right side. Damon follows him. John stops.

JOHN

(Whispering)

Be very quiet around here. The rooms may be occupied.

Damon nods his head and they continue to slowly walk down the hallway.

DAMON

(Whispering)

There it is.

Damon points at the elevator which is down the hallway a little bit. The walk faster towards the elevator.

They make it to the elevator. The doors are closed. John looks at Damon.

Damon nods his head. John pushes the elevator button. After a minute the doors open. No one is inside. John and Damon walk on the elevator.

INT. ELEVATOR

The elevator doors close.

DAMON

Shit. How do we get out of this?

John and Damon both look around the elevator.

JOHN

There.

John points at the top of the elevator. There is a small hatch seen. Damon smiles and reaches up to it.

Damon opens it.

DAMON

Oh fuck!

JOHN

What?

DAMON

Look.

Over the hatch is a wall. No one can fit.

DAMON

There is not enough room.

JOHN

Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!

John clenches his fists.

JOHN

What the hell are we suppose to do?

DAMON

We have to go down on another floor.

JOHN

And risk getting caught.

DAMON

It’s the only way.

JOHN

Shit!

Suddenly the elevator starts to move down.

DAMON

Oh shit.

JOHN

GO!!!!

Damon quickly jumps up and grabs on the ends of the exit. He then pulls his self up. John jumps and grabs on it. He tries to pull his self up but can’t.

He falls back down.

JOHN

Dammit!

DAMON

Here.

Damon reaches his hand to John. John grabs it. Damon pulls John up slowly. He gets half of his body up.

The elevator then stops moving. John quickly pulls him self up and puts the hatch back down at the same second the doors open.

Two guards walk on the elevator.

CUT TO:

INT. ELEVATOR SHAFT

Damon and John are quietly holding their mouths and crouched on top the elevator. The elevator then starts to move up.

John looks at Damon and his eyes get big. Damon points at a ladder which is seen at the end. They both slowly and quietly move towards the ladder. They both make it to the ladder and get on it.

The elevator passes them.

DAMON

Holy shit dude. That was crazy.

JOHN

I know, I know.

They both start to climb down the elevator.
