TRANSCRIPT:
==========================
1. EXT. Campus Field. DAY. (
The scene opens on the Campus football
field, where students, including Jensen, Avery and Tru, are playing a game of
football)
JENSENBreak!
(
Upbeat rock music plays over the scene)
JENSENRed Dog, right! Red Dog, right! 26!
AVERYCome on!
(
Jensen grabs the balls and throws it
to Tru)
PLAYERGotcha
(
Tru keeps running)
JENSENNice. Nicely done. Bring it in strong. Nice
hands, Davies
TRUThanks, nice throw
AVERYYou two, all day with the compliments!
JENSENNothing wrong with a little positive
reinforcement
AVERYOh, yes…no, I’m sure that Montana always
got all starry eyed every time Rice hauled one in
(
Tru and Jensen laugh)
JENSENIt’s hard to tell, with the helmets and
everything
AVERYYeah
JENSENOk, 48 red, break!
(
they all get into position again)
JENSEN48 red!
(
he grabs the ball and is about to
throw it when he is shoulder-barged to the floor by an opposing player. The referee
blows the whistle)
TRUAre you okay?
REFEREEPenalty!
JENSENGod, I think I did something to my wrist
TRULet me see, let me see
(
he stands, and she presses his wrist
gently)
TRUWell, it’s not broken. You know, you may
have sprained your radial carpal ligament
JENSENCheck you out. It’s pretty good for someone
who’s just auditing med class
TRUMaybe you should sub out, put some ice on
it
JENSENWhat, with just 10 short yards between us
and intramural glory? Not a chance. Let’s do it
TRUAll right, tough guy
2. EXT. Campus Field. DAY. (
Tru and her friends collect their bags
from the bench)
AVERYNice win, kids. Don’t forget, cram session
later, the cadaver lab. Nobody leaves until we make the endocrine system our
bitch
TRUOh, I’m gonna be late for work
JENSENI’m heading in that direction, you want
some company?
TRUYeah
JENSENAll right
3. EXT. Street. DAY. JENSENYou swear you’ve never played flag football
before today?
TRUIt was my professional debut
JENSENYou’re a natural, and a hell of an upgrade
over Tyler. I swear to God, this guy’s got hands like stone. Tru?
(
Tru moves across to look in a store
window)
TRUThat bag
JENSENWhat?
TRUIt’s just like the one Dr. Kendall used to
have. Our family doctor when I was a kid. Whenever he made a house call he used
to bring a bag just like that
JENSENWait, you knew a doctor that actually did
house calls?
TRUHe was the sweetest guy ever. He was the
first person who told me I should be a doctor
JENSENYou should buy it
TRUI’m not a doctor. I’m not even a real med
student
JENSENYeah but you will be, right?
TRUCome on. Davis is probably wondering where
I am
4. INT. Morgue. DAY. (
Tru and Jensen step out the elevator)
TRUHey, are you sure you don’t want me to put
some ice on that wrist?
JENSENYeah thanks anyway, I’m gonna run to the
clinic. Doing some volunteering this afternoon, so I’ll get some then
TRUAh
(
Jensen leans down to kiss her, but Davis’s voice interrupts them)
DAVIS(
off-screen)
Hey Tru, is that you?
TRUAhh…yeah
DAVISOh, hi…hi, Jensen
JENSENHey, Davis. Oh, so, I’ll uh, I will…uh, see
you at the cram session
TRUYeah, you will
JENSENSee you later, man
DAVISBye
(
he walks over to Tru)
I’m sorry, I didn’t realise that you two
were…
TRUThat’s okay, nothing happened
DAVISOf course nothing happened, because I
walked in at the worst possible time, which is my greatest talent
TRUHey, uh…Davis, can I ask you a kind of
personal question?
DAVISYeah. Go ahead
TRUUm, after your wife…died…how long was it
before you, you know…
DAVISStarted dating? Uh…four years
TRUOh
DAVISBut that had more to do with social
deficiencies than anything else. Look, I know it’s been a few months since Luc
died, but you know, if you’re starting to have feelings about someone, you
should accept it
TRUIt just…it feels soon, is all
DAVISWell, it’s always gonna feel soon, whether
it’s today, or tomorrow, or four years from now
TRUHow do you know when you’re ready?
DAVISYou fall in love again
5. EXT. Store. DAY. (
Jensen walks up to the window, looks
at the bag and smiles. He enters the store. Almost straight away, another man
enters. He’s wearing a baseball cap. He closes the door after him and turns the
sign from “open” to “closed”. Then he takes a gun out of his pocket)
Cut to:

Tru enters, with a bag of groceries.)
HARRISON(
off-screen)
Help me, Tru
(
Tru looks across into the living room
in alarm)
HARRISONPlease tell me….please tell me that you can
fix this?
(
he gestures to a rather dramatic
haircut)
TRUOoh, what happened?
HARRISONWell, Dad made some comment the other day,
about my hair. He said: “You look a little scruffy to be an employee at a law
firm”, so I said, hey, why not make the old man happy? Get a real haircut for
once… (
he trails off, upset)
TRUYou can’t get one of those for less than
six bucks
HARRISONCome on, Tru. You’re a girl, you read all
those fashion magazines, there’s gotta be something you could do, Tru
(
Tru picks up a baseball cap from the
side and puts it on his head)
TRUThere. It’s perfect! (
pointing to a suit
on the side) Is this a new suit?
HARRISONYeah…yeah, yeah, yeah, I say, you know,
what the hell. Might as well go all out. Get myself some new threads. Do you
like?
TRUIt’s very professional
HARRISONLet’s not kid ourselves, shall we? We both
know what they call a guy like me wearing a suit like that… the defendant
TRUOh come on, Harry, you’re not that guy
anymore
HARRISONI was crazy to think that I could change. I
can’t…I can’t change who I am, Tru. Let’s face it, okay?
TRUHey. You can change. You changed your hair
(
Harrison points a finger at her)
TRUI’m just saying
HARRISONWatch yourself! Not now. Listen, I gotta
go. Thanks for the hat
TRUTotally, you’re welcome. Bye, Harr
(
Harrison glares at her)
TRUOoh…sorry…sorry
HARRISONNot funny. It’s not funny
(
he slams the door as he leaves, and
Tru grins to herself as she gets a loaf out of her groceries bag. There is a
knock on her door)
Oh…Harrison, you forgot your…
(
she picks up the suit, and opens the
door. It’s Avery, and she’s crying)
TRUAvery, what’s wrong?
AVERYHe’s dead
TRUWhat? Who’s dead?
AVERYJensen. Jensen’s dead
[Fade to Black] [Opening Credits] [Flashes of the day’s images in
sequence] 7. INT. Morgue. NIGHT. (
Davis pulls the sheet up over
Jensen’s body. Tru enters)
DAVISTru, I’m…I’m so sorry
TRUI’m not here for condolences, Davis. I’m here to fix this. Please, before he asks, tell me what I need to know to save
him
DAVISOkay, um, according to the police report,
there was a hold-up this afternoon, and Jensen got in the way. He was shot once
in the chest at approximately 5:30 and he died en route to the hospital
TRUWhere was the hold-up?
DAVISA consignment store on West Broadway
TRUHe went back for the bag
[Flashback: Jensen and Tru looking
at the doctor’s bag in the window] TRUThere was this doctor’s bag in the window,
and he knew that I liked it so he must have gone back for it. I guess I should
have seen this coming, huh?
DAVISHow could you possibly see this coming?
TRUTyphoid Mary, remember? Everyone I care
about get hurt. Everyone I love is in danger just for knowing me
DAVISYou’re wrong about that
TRUReally? Because my track record says
otherwise. In the past four months, I lost Luc and Jensen. Even Harrison died once
DAVISYeah but you saved him
TRUAll that means is I’m one for three when it
comes to people I care about
CARRIETru? Davis told me the news. I just wanted
to let you know how terribly sorry I am
(
Tru looks at Davis)
DAVISShe’s a grief counsellor. I thought maybe
you’d like to talk to her
CARRIEWe could go up to my office if you’d like
TRUI’m not going anywhere. Not when he needs
me
DAVIS(
to
Carrie)
Maybe we should talk outside
CARRIEOkay
DAVIS(
off-screen)
Maybe this wasn’t such a good idea
(
Camera pans across to show Davis and
Carrie talking in the next room)
CARRIENo, you were right to call me. She’s
clearly in denial over his death
DAVISYeah, but still, we should give her some
time
CARRIEOkay. Whatever you think. Hey, I’ll be
upstairs if you need me
Cut to:
Carrie
approaching the elevator, dialling on her cellphone Cut to: JACK
(
answering his cellphone)
It’s Jack
Cut to: CARRIEIt’s me. I’ve got news
8. INT. Morgue. NIGHT.
(Tru is still sitting beside Jensen’s
body)
AVERY(off-screen)
How long has she been in there?
Cut to show Avery and Davis watching
through the glass window
DAVIS
Four hours
AVERY
I should go. Jensen’s parent’ plane lands
in 30 minutes. God you should’ve seen me earlier when I called them to break
the news. I couldn’t stop crying. Some doctor I’m gonna be. I can’t even talk
about death without completely losing it
DAVIS
I wish I could tell you it gets easier
AVERY
I’d better go. Take care of her
DAVIS
Yep
(as Avery leaves, he goes into the next
room to join Tru)
DAVIS(cont’d)
Hey, I was thinking if you’re hungry maybe
you’d like to go down to the diner
TRU
Not now, no. I’ve got things to do
DAVIS
Are you leaving?
TRU
It’s been four hours and Jensen hasn’t
asked for help. Neither have any of the other bodies. So it’s time to face the
facts. If I want the day to restart, I have to find myself some new dead people
DAVIS
How…how do you plan on doing that?
TRU
Last I checked, there are five other
morgues in the county, I’ll drive to every single one if I have to
DAVIS
But, Tru…
TRU
I’m not gonna lose him, Davis, I’m just not
9. INT. Standard Diner. NIGHT.
DAVIS
Hi. Um…take-out for Davis, please?
(the waitress hands over a bag)
That was fast. Thank you
(he turns round to see Jack standing
there)
JACK
Word has it our girl hit every morgue in a
20-mile radius tonight. No need to fabricate a story, Davis. I know about
Jensen, and I know exactly what she’s trying to do. Poor girl just doesn’t have
any luck with boyfriends now, does she?
DAVIS
Yeah, thanks to you
JACK
Oh, the Luc thing. Yeah, that was my fault.
I admit it. But Jensen? That’s fate, sending a message
DAVIS
Well lucky for him, Tru has a knack for
changing fate
JACK
It’s different this time. She’s not God,
Davis. She can’t pick and choose the people that she wants to save, they have
to choose her
DAVIS
Why are you telling me this? Why?
JACK
Two reasons. First and foremost: I happen
to think you agree with me. Deep down inside, you know what she’s doing is
wrong, but you’re too damn loyal to say anything about it, and second, she
won’t listen to a word I say but she might listen to you
DAVIS
Well you are right about one thing, I am…I
am loyal to Tru. And if she needs help saving Jensen, then she’ll get it
JACK
Fine. Just don’t say I didn’t warn you
Cut to: Shot
of City Morgue – NIGHT
10. INT. Morgue. NIGHT.
(Davis sits eating his take-out.
The door opens and Tru enters. She walks over to Jensen’s body)
TRU
I know I can help you, I just…need a little
more time
DAVIS
Any luck at the other morgues?
(Tru shakes her head)
I’m sorry. You’re tired, you should go home
TRU
I can’t. Not until a body asks for help
DAVIS
Tru, that could take days. I mean, weeks
TRU
I can wait
DAVIS
Well, maybe you shouldn’t
TRU
What?
DAVIS
Look, I know you care for Jensen. But the
fact is - is that he didn’t ask for help, and maybe we should assume there’s a
reason why
TRU
I don’t care if there’s a reason. I can
help him and I will
DAVIS
Well, maybe you’re not supposed to, you
know? Maybe it’s a violation of some rule, I mean, aren’t you worried about
consequences here?
TRU
I don’t know about you, but I didn’t get a
rule book
DAVIS
I didn’t get a rule book either, but that
doesn’t mean there aren’t rules, Tru
(the telephone rings in his office, he
goes over to answer it)
City Morgue. Yes. Okay
TRU
Someone just called for a pick-up, didn’t
they?
DAVIS
Yes, Third and Ogden. I know that it’s
difficult, especially with someone with your abilities. But maybe you just have
to accept the fact that you can’t help Jensen
TRU
Is that what your favourite grief counsellor
told you? That I’m in denial? Well, she’s right, I am in denial. I deny this.
And you know what? I can. Excuse me, I have a pick-up
Cut to: workmen
shifting through rubble – NIGHT
11. EXT. Food Court. NIGHT.
DETECTIVE
The deceased escaped from a work detail
around 11:30 this morning
TRU
He was a prisoner?
DETECTIVE
Yeah. He was doing the roadside work on
Route 101 when he busted loose. Used a fork to unlock the monitoring device on
his ankle, and took off. We lost him for a couple of hours, then he stole this
SUV and a chase ensued
Shot of the SUV, buckled, having driven
through a food court patio and into a wall and reduced it to mostly rubble
DAVIS
I guess we know how that ended. Was anyone
else hurt?
DETECTIVE
Dinner rush hadn’t started yet so the patio
was empty, thank God
TRU
He was the only casualty?
DETECTIVE(nodding)
Now he’s all yours. Enjoy
DAVIS
Tru, look…I know that you’re angry. But if
this body asks for help, and your day restarts, promise me you won’t forget
what we talked about
TRU
Don’t worry Davis, I won’t forget
(Davis walks away, and Tru leans down
to the body, pulling the sheet off)
TRU
Come on, please…
(she notices a tattoo on his arm, a
heart with the name “Mandy” inside. Then his head turns towards her)
TRAVIS
Save me
[Flashes of the day’s images as it
rewinds]

TRU

13. INT. Carrie’s Office. DAY.
(Carrie answers her telephone)
CARRIE
Hello?
Cut to: JACK
It’s me
Cut to: CARRIE
Oh, you’re lucky you caught me. I was just
on my way to the morgue
Cut to: JACK
Good, ‘cause I’ve got an assignment for you
14. INT. Morgue. DAY.
DAVIS
Please tell me they caught the guy that did
this to Jensen
(Tru shakes her head)
This is gonna be a tough one
TRU
Tell me about it
DAVIS
Okay. Two bodies, two “help me’s”, two
totally unrelated deaths
TRU
Guess we’ve got our work cut out for us
DAVIS
Well, how did it happen? Did one body ask
for help, and then the other? Or did they ask at the same time?
TRU
Same time. It was like in stereo
DAVIS
By the way, I’m sorry about Jensen. I know
the two of you were getting close
TRU
Look, he’s still alive Davis, and I am
gonna save him today
DAVIS
I know, I know, I know. And I’m going to
make sure the prisoner doesn’t escape that work detail
TRU
Actually, I was gonna hand the prisoner off
to Harrison. Because foiling the escape means talking to the police, and
Harrison’s got a little more experience in that department
DAVIS
All right
TRU
But while I’m with Jensen, I need you to
find a way to close the consignment store where he was killed
DAVIS
Right. Make sure the store’s not held up so
no innocent lives are in jeopardy, I’ve got it
TRU
Thanks, Davis
DAVIS
Is that it?
TRU
That’s it. If I need anything else, I’ll
call you
(she turns to walk to the elevator, and
bumps into Carrie who has just got out)
Oh, sorry
CARRIE
That’s okay
(to Davis) Hi. Wow, where’s she off
to in such a hurry?
DAVIS
Um…she’s gonna go play flag football at the
park. She’s, uh, quite the athlete
15. EXT. Park. DAY.
(Tru gets out of her car, on her
cellphone)
Cut to: HARRISON at the hairdressers
Yo
Cut to: TRU
Harry, I need your help
Cut to: HARRISON
Well can it wait? I’m about to get a
haircut
Cut to: TRU
Whoa, just because Dad called you scruffy,
doesn’t mean you’re due for a makeover
Cut to: HARRISON
Oh, so I take it someone’s day restarted?
Cut to: TRU
It sure did
Cut to: HARRISON
The haircut?
Cut to: TRU
Does not end well
Cut toHarrison jumping up out his chair
HARRISON
So what do you need?
Cut to: TRU
A prisoner’s gonna escape a work detail on
route 101 in less than an hour. Later today he dies in a car crash after a
whole big car chase with the cops
Cut to: HARRISON
Unless yours truly can put a whammy on it
Cut to: TRU
There’s just one problem, I never got his
name. So I need you to point him out in person
Cut to: HARRISON
Well how do you expect me to do that
without looking suspicious?
Cut to Tru, looking
out onto the park, where Jensen is playing football
HARRISON(v.o.)
Tru? Hey Tru, are you there?
TRU
You’ll think of something
Cut to: HARRISON
Just give me a description, I’ll see what I
can do
16. EXT. Park. DAY.
JENSEN
Break!
(they all get into position)
48 red! 48 red!
(Tru watches the guy who
shoulder-barged Jensen over on day 1, as he goes to jump at Jensen, she puts
her leg out and he trips to the ground. The referee blows his whistle)
TRU
Sorry. Adrenaline
REFEREE
You’re out. One play
AVERY
Remind me never to piss her off, huh?
(Tru runs over to the bench and reaches
into her bag. Jack walks up)
JACK
That was nice, Davies. Didn’t know you had
it in you
TRU
Sometimes you gotta fight dirty to win. You
of all people should know that
JACK
Let’s cut to the chase, shall we? I know
you’re planning on saving Jensen, and I’m here to talk you out of it
TRU
Considering you only see the lives of
people who ask me for help, how’d you even know he died?
JACK
There’s plenty of ways to find out about a
murder. Watch the news, listen to the police scanner. I relive days too
TRU
Well, you can save the speech about
preserving fate. I’ve heard it
JACK
It’s bad enough you save people that do ask
for help, but saving people that don’t? You’re taking things to an entirely new
level of bad
TRU
This from a man who pushed a woman with
leukaemia off a building
JACK
There’s a bigger picture here, Tru. We may
be on opposite sides, but each side has its rules. You break those rules, and
the repercussions will be severe, not just for you, but for Jensen
TRU
Is that a threat?
JACK
It’s a guarantee. Believe it or not, I’m
trying to do you a favour. Let me put his death back on track, for both your
sakes
TRU
If there are rules, you broke them when you
killed Luc. I’m willing to do the same to save Jensen
17. EXT. Route 101. DAY. (
the prisoners, wearing orange suits,
are raking and digging. Camera moves to one of their leg tags, and up his body
to his arm, where he has a tattoo, a heart with the name “Mandy”. At the
roadside, Harrison gets out of his car)
OFFICERCan I help you?
HARRISONNo, sir. But I can most certainly help you.
You see, I’m with a law firm, Davies, O’Donnell and Cross, downtown. I’m sure
you’ve heard of us
(
he shows the Officer a business card.
The Officer shakes his head)
No? Well, anywho, um…well, shall we say one
of my less fortunate clients is currently serving a ten-year stretch, Now he’s
looking to shave some time off his sentence by ratting out one of your guys who’s
planning on escaping this very work detail
OFFICERWhich guy?
HARRISONDon’t have a name, just a description. In
his late forties, light hair, he’s got a tattoo on his arm that says “Mandy”.
If you don’t believe me, just check the guy for a fork. He’s gonna use it to
pop that little LoJack gizmo they’ve got on their ankles there
OFFICERWait right here
(
he walks over to his partner and
speaks with him, quietly. Harrison reaches in his pocket for his cellphone)
Cut to: TRUwatching
Jensen on the football fieldHello?
Cut to: HARRISONHey, it’s me. I just wanted you to know
everything’s under control
(
the officers begin searching the
prisoner)
Cut to: TRUThe prisoner’s safe?
Cut to: HARRISONWell, they’re shaking him down as we speak
(
the officer uncovers a fork)
Cut to: TRUThanks, Harry. You’re a lifesaver
Cut to: HARRISONYeah well, tell me something I don’t know
(
he hangs up and puts his cellphone
away. The officers are leading the prisoner away from the work detail. Harrison
watches, when suddenly the prisoner places a fist in the first officer’s groin
and gets the gun off him)
(
the second officer points his own gun
at the prisoner)
TRAVISDrop it! Drop it!
(
he points the gun at the first
officer, until the officer lowers his gun)
TRAVISPut it on the ground. Now get your keys
out. Take that thing off of my leg. Now!
(
to Harrison) Is that your car?
HARRISONYeah…actually, it’s, uh…
TRAVISCome on…
(
he grabs Harrison, pointing the gun at
him, pulling him towards the car)
HARRISONOh, hey, look, trust me, you don’t wanna do
this, pal. Look, listen…
TRAVISGet in the car, now!
HARRISONOkay man, let’s talk about this…
TRAVISCome on, move it!
HARRISONAll right
(
they both climb into the car)
TRAVISLet’s go!
(
the car zooms off down the street)
[Fade to Black] [Flashes of the day’s images in
sequence] 18. EXT. Park. DAY. AVERYNice win, kids. Don’t forget the cram
session later, all right? The cadaver lab. Nobody leaves until we make the
endocrine system our bitch
TRU(
to
Jensen)
Hey, I’ve got my car today, so if you need
a ride to the clinic?
JENSENHow’d you know I was volunteering?
TRUAvery mentioned it. She said you were that
much closer to sainthood. And Davis just gave me the afternoon off, so if you
think you could use an extra pair of hands?
JENSENYeah, always. I just have to warn you, it’s
mostly lab work and filing. It can get pretty boring
TRUBelieve me, I could use a little more
boredom in my life
JENSENOkay
TRUOkay
JENSENYeah
19. Roadside. DAY. (
Travis brings the car to a halt on the
roadside)
HARRISONWoo. So, uh…what are you doing?
TRAVISThe cops are gonna be looking for this car.
I gotta ditch it
HARRISONRight. Right, I hear you. Good idea
TRAVISI’m sorry about the gun by the way. I hope
I didn’t scare you too bad
HARRISONOh…I’ve been there, done that
TRAVISActually, I hate guns. Never held one
before today
HARRISONOh...you could have fooled me
TRAVISThanks for the ride, kid
(
they get out of the car, and Travis
tosses the gun into the bushes)
TRAVIS(
gesturing
to the new suit in the car)
This your suit? Mind if I borrow?
HARRISONJust happy to be alive here. It’s all yours
(
he turns around while Travis moves
away to put the suit on)
Okay, Harrison, think think think…what
would Tru do?
(
he turns around again, Travis is
putting on the shirt)
HARRISONHere’s the thing. No-one is more hooked up
in this town than I am. So whatever you need to get a clean getaway, fake ID’s,
passports, bus tickets…
TRAVISNo thanks. I’ll take care of myself
HARRISONAh, but you might change your mind. In
which case, I should probably stick around
TRAVISNo. I won’t, and you shouldn’t
HARRISONI hear you. I’m hearing you…you know, but
call me crazy…
TRAVISYou know what I can’t figure out? I let you
go, and you’re not going
HARRISONWell look here’s the thing…let’s just say
I’m not a fan of the cops. Besides that, you seem like a decent guy, now,
really, let me do something. Please
(
Travis throws the orange suit into the
car and begins to walk away)
TRAVISTry to keep up. You know, you are an
extremely weird kid
HARRISONYeah, I get that a lot

Hey this is Harrison, leave a message

this morning. I just wanted to make sure you’re okay. Call me
JENSENHow you holding up?
TRUCouple of paper cuts, but otherwise good
JENSENNice
NURSEJensen, I need you to take a medical
history in Exam Room One, patient’s name is Stan Kirby
JENSENStan Kirby. All right, no problem
21. INT. Exam Room One. DAY. (
Jensen enters the room)
JENSENAll right Mr Kirby, let’s get started
(
he looks up and sees Jack sitting
there)
Well, you’re not Mr Kirby are you. I
somehow seriously doubt that you’re here because your sciatica is acting up
JACKIt’s good to see you again, Jensen
JENSENLikewise, Jack. You mind telling me why
you’re here?
JACKFirst of all, let me apologize for sneaking
in like this. I only did it because I didn’t want Tru to know I was here
JENSENBecause?
JACKBecause I need to talk to you alone…about
Tru. She’s been keeping something from you. Something important. And I think
you deserve to know about it
JENSENOkay
JACKYou see, she lost someone close to her not
long ago. It was a boyfriend. His name was Luc
JENSENI didn’t know that
JACKOf course you didn’t. Tru didn’t tell you.
I can’t really say I blame her, I mean…”my last boyfriend died” isn’t exactly a
mood setter. But the thing is…Tru never got over Luc. And since he died, she
really hasn’t been able to get close to anyone. She keeps sabotaging herself
JENSENWhat do you mean?
JACKWell haven’t you noticed how secretive she
is? How she’s always running off but will never tell you where she’s going?
Look, I think Tru is a fantastic girl and I can tell she’s crazy about you and
that’s why I’m here. I don’t wanna see her screw this up
JENSENI appreciate that Jack, I do
JACKThere’s other things you need to know, but I’m
late for another appointment. Why don’t you meet me later on and I’ll tell you
everything? For Tru’s sake
JENSENOkay
JACKGreat. I know the perfect place
22. INT. Clinic reception. DAY. KIRBYI don’t believe this. I’m five minutes late
and you give my appointment away
NURSEJust spell your name for me, Sir?
KIRBYStan Kirby. K – I – R – B – Y
NURSEThat’s odd. I checked a Stan Kirby into an
exam room 10 minutes ago
KIRBYWell, I’m Stan Kirby. So whoever you
checked in, it wasn’t me
(
Tru walks off down the corridor and
into Exam Room One. Jensen is there, talking to an elderly patient)
JENSENAnd, uh…
(
they both look up in surprise)
TRUThis…isn’t the Supply Room
JENSENRight, which is why they have the big sign
on the door that says “Exam Room One”
TRUSorry
JENSENThat’s all for now, Mr Farmer. The doctor’s
gonna be with you in a few minutes, okay? All right
(
he follows Tru out of the room)
TRUI thought the nurse asked you to see a guy
named Kirby
JENSENOh, well they just…they must’ve given me
the wrong chart. It happens all the time here
TRUOh
JENSENUm, but listen, I’m gonna get going, so I’m
gonna see you later?
TRUActually, I was thinking maybe we could get
some coffee, you know? Kill some time before we hit the lab
JENSENOh, I wish that I could but I gotta run to
the library to grab some books on Endocrinology for the cram session, so…
TRUWell then you should just come to the
morgue. Davis is like, the endocrinology king. He’s got tons of books on the
subject
JENSENYeah, I just, I don’t wanna put him out,
you know? Because he’s…
TRUTrust me, he’d be happy to help. Really
JENSENWhat are we waiting for? Let’s go
23. EXT. Street. DAY. HARRISONI’ve gotta tell you, I’ve seen my share of
fugitives from justice flicks, and uh…not one of them had a scene with a guy on
the run who could stroll through suburbia in broad daylight
TRAVISThere’s somebody I need to see
HARRISONOh…
(
Travis runs up some steps and rings
the doorbell. A woman answers)
TRAVISHello Barbara
BARBARATravis! I thought you were still…what the
hell did you do?
TRAVISYou can read all about it in the paper
tomorrow
BARBARAOh, you’re unbelievable
TRAVISJust tell me where the wedding is and I’ll
go
BARBARANo!
TRAVISI’m gonna go to every church in this town.
You know I will
BARBARADon’t you dare, Travis. Don’t you dare ruin
this day for her (
notices Harrison) Who is he?
TRAVISUm…hostage
HARRISONYo
BARBARAA hostage? You brought a hostage to my
house?
TRAVISPlace looks great by the way. David a good
provider?
(
he enters the house and picks up some
keys from the side)
BARBARABetter than you
TRAVISYou look great, Barbara
(
he and Harrison run down the steps
again to the car on the drive)
BARBARATouch that car and I’m calling the cops,
Travis!
HARRISONNo no no, no cops. Bad idea
BARBARALast chance, Travis
HARRISONLook if you call the cops, they’re gonna
hunt Travis down like an animal. Now that he’s got wheels, there could be a
chase. Innocent people could get hurt. Just give me some time, let me talk to
him, try to get him to turn himself in peacefully
BARBARAThat car better come back without a scratch
on it
HARRISONYou have my word
(
they drive away, passing a car parked
on the roadside. Jack is inside. He flips open his phone)
JACKI’d like to report a stolen vehicle
Cut to:
Shot
of the City Morgue 24. INT. Morgue. DAY. CARRIEHey. You okay?
DAVISYeah, I’m just waiting on a phone call from
Tru
CARRIEThe two of you are thick as thieves
DAVISYeah, we have a pretty unique relationship
CARRIEOh…as in, you used to go out?
DAVIS(
laughs)
No. God, no
CARRIEWhat is it?
DAVISUm…there’s…uh….something about Tru that you
don’t know about. No one knows it…except me
CARRIEIt’s okay
DAVISShe’s not…uh, properly insured to drive the
morgue van. It’s my fault really, I didn’t do the paperwork, and…
(
Tru and Jensen walk in at that moment)
TRUHi. Hope we’re not interrupting
DAVISNo. No, no, no. Uh, (
to Carrie) have
you…have you? Jensen, this is Carrie
JENSENHey. Nice to meet you
CARRIELikewise
TRUWe were hoping maybe we could borrow some
books
DAVISYeah. Any particular subject in mind?
(
as Davis walks off, Carrie backs into
the next room and dials on her cellphone)
Cut to: JACKGot something for me?
Cut to: CARRIEYeah, I thought you should know that the
boyfriend’s here at the morgue
Cut to: JACKHe’s supposed to be meeting me later, but
he may need some prodding. If you see an opportunity to seal the deal…
Cut to: CARRIEI will take it
Cut to: JACKGood girl
25. INT. Barbara’s Car. DAY. HARRISONSo, uh, I take it that was your ex back
there?
TRAVISYep
HARRISONThat whole wedding you mentioned?
TRAVISMy daughter’s. Mandy
HARRISONSo that’s why you busted loose today, so
you can go. So, what’re gonna say to her when you see her?
TRAVISNothing. Mandy doesn’t know I’m her father.
Her mom married David shortly after I started my sentence. Mandy was a little
baby, they never told her about me
HARRISONThat’s pretty cold huh, don’t you think?
TRAVISDavid gave her a good life, with all the
things that I couldn’t, and I’m grateful for that. That’s why all I want is a
glimpse of my baby on her big day. After that, I’m gonna turn myself in
HARRISONWhat’s that?
TRAVISIt’s a receipt from a florist. I found it
under the seat. It’s a big order. It’s going to St. Augustine’s today
HARRISONGuess we know where that wedding is, huh?
So, uh…if you don’t mind me asking, what’d they lock you up for?
TRAVISI was a getaway driver. Bank heists,
mostly. I started when I was about your age
HARRISONSo before you got busted, did you ever
think of going straight?
TRAVISAre you kidding me? All the time, kid. I
learned pretty quick, though. A man can’t change what he is
HARRISONOf course he can. I know it’s hard to
believe, but I was…kind of a…small-time scammer
TRAVISReally?
HARRISONNo, yeah, I’m serious. And now I got a
nine-to-five and uh, well, I’m kicking much ass I might add
TRAVISYou’ll slip up. Guys like us always do
(
A police siren begins to wail behind
them)
Damn it. Hold on!
(
he speeds up and zooms down the
street, two cop cars after them)
26. INT. Morgue. DAY. DAVISAnd last but not least, Ampoule’s Modern
Physiology
JENSENOh…thanks. They’re heavy. It’s good
DAVIS(
to
Tru)
Can I have a word with you, please?
JENSENI’ll just…read these books
(
he sits down to a table, as Davis and
Tru go into the next room)
TRUIs something wrong?
DAVISWell, you tell me. You didn’t check in with
me once today
TRUWell I didn’t know I needed to
DAVISWell, I left you three messages, you didn’t
call me back
TRUBecause I had everything under control
DAVISTwo people asked for help last night, that
is a lot to handle. Even for you. You know, if you’re trying to keep something
from me, whatever it is, I can handle it. I just wanna help, Tru
TRUTwo people didn’t ask for help last night
Davis, only one did. And it wasn’t Jensen
DAVISI don’t understand. Jensen didn’t die?
TRUI’m saying he didn’t ask for help. Look,
I’m sorry I lied. I didn’t think that you’d help me save Jensen if you knew the
truth
DAVISTru, look, at the end of the day, you’re
the one in charge of saving lives, I get that. And if you ever need me, I’ll
always be here for you. Especially today, Tru
Cut to:
Jensen in the next room,
looking through a book. Carrie walks in JENSENHey
CARRIEHey. Oh, is Davis…?
JENSENOutside, talking to Tru
CARRIEOh, great. I’m telling you, once those two
get started it takes forever for them to stop
JENSENReally?
CARRIEYou kinda look like there’s some place you
need to be
JENSENYeah, I’m supposed to meet somebody, but I
don’t wanna interrupt them, you know?
CARRIEOh, don’t worry about it. I’ll just tell
them you had to run
Cut to:
Davis and Tru DAVISBut I think there’s another reason that
you’re keeping the truth from me. I think, that on some level, you think
there’s something wrong with this. You know, that there’s a reason that Jensen
didn’t ask for help
TRUYou think that fate wanted him to stay
dead?
DAVISDon’t you?
TRUI don’t give a damn what fate wants,
because fate obviously doesn’t give a damn about me
DAVISHow can you say that? You of all people?
TRULook at my life, Davis. Look at everything
I’ve sacrificed to do this job. To answer this calling. I’ve lost friends,
family, sleep, sanity, you name it, all in the name of fate. And how does fate
repay me? It takes the people I’m closest to. First my mother, then Luc, and
now Jensen. I’m sorry, but enough is enough. I’m not giving up Jensen without a
fight
(
she walks over to the door and opens
it. The sofa Jensen was sitting on is empty. Carrie is standing by the water
cooler)
TRU(
cont’d)
Where’s Jensen?
CARRIEOh, he left. He said he had to meet a
friend
(
Tru goes back through the other room,
and Davis follows)
TRUJack. It’s gotta be. The consignment store,
Jack must have sent him back somehow
DAVISBut I talked the owner into closing it, I
even watched him lock up
TRUKnowing Jack, he found a way to reopen it
[Flashback: DAVIS: “He was shot once
in the chest at approximately 5:30 and he died en route to the hospital”] (
Tru looks at her cellphone: the time
is already 5:51pm)
TRUAll right, I’ll try and cut him off. In the
meantime, keep dialling, see if anyone’s at the store
27. EXT. Street. DAY. (
The sign on the door of the
consignment store is turned to “closed”. Tru pulls at the door but it’s
definitely locked. She takes out her cellphone)
DAVIS(
v.o.)
City Morgue
TRUHe’s not here, Davis. The store’s still
closed
Cut to: DAVISYeah, I figured as much. No-one answered
when I called
Cut to: TRUJack’s got him, I know it
DAVIS(
v.o.)
Yeah, but the question is, where?
(
Tru glances into the next store
window, where a television is displaying the news channel, and the headline:
“Breaking news: High Speed Chase”)
TRUI think I know exactly where Jack took him.
To the crash site
28. EXT. Food Court. DAY. (
Jack is sitting to a table outside.
Jensen walks up to him)
JACKGlad you could make it, buddy. I saved you
the best seat in the house
(
Jensen sits opposite Jack, directly in
the path of where the SUV crashed on day one)
[Fade to Black] [Flashes of the day’s images in
sequence] 29. EXT. Street. DAY. (
Tru runs along the street, dialling on
her cellphone at the same time)
Cut to: HARRISON(
to Travis) Ah, might as well. Do
you mind?
(
to the cell) I had a feeling it was
you
Cut to: TRUWhatever you did this morning, it didn’t
work. That prisoner still managed to escape, and now the police are after him
Cut to: HARRISONOh, yeah, well I kinda got a front row
seat, if you know what I mean?
Cut to: TRUYou what?
Cut to: HARRISON (through gritted teeth)
I’m in the car, with the guy
Cut to: TRU
How?
Cut to: HARRISON
I’d love to tell you the whole story, but,
uh, I’m a little busy right now
Cut to: TRU
(getting into her car)
I’m five minutes away. But look, whatever
you do, just keep him away from the Third Street Café, that’s where he lost
control of the car yesterday
Cut to: HARRISON
Oh, well, good news. We’re nowhere near
Third Street
(Travis swings the car a sharp right
down an alley, passing a sign that reads: 190 3rd Ave)
HARRISON
All right, you know that whole thing about
being nowhere near Third? Scratch that
30. EXT. Food Court. DAY.
JACK
Hey, before we get started, would you like
a beer?
JENSEN
Yeah, actually, that sounds great
(He begins to wave a waiter over, but
Jack stops him)
JACK
I’ll take care of it, I know the bartender
here. She always gives me free drinks. You stay right there
Cut to: Travis
and Harrison in the car
TRAVIS
I can’t seem to shake these guys
HARRISON
Okay, how about we call it a day and pull
over for the nice policeman, what do you say?
TRAVIS
My daughter’s wedding. Not a chance
HARRISON
Okay
(The car speeds out of an alley and
bumps so hard on the floor they are both jolted in their seats, Harrison drops
his cellphone)
Cut to: TRU
Harry? Harry, are you there?
Cut to: Travis
and Harrison. Someone with a bicycle is crossing the road up ahead
Cut to: HARRISON
Oh God, watch out! Whoa! God! God!
(The man on the bicycle falls off it as
the car swerves round him to avoid him)
Cut to: TRU
Harry!
(She begins to run towards the Food
Court)
Cut to: Jensen
sitting alone on the Food Court
Cut to: Travis and Harrison in
the car, speeding straight towards the Food Court
HARRISON
Come on!
(He grabs hold of Travis and pulls him
out of his passenger-side door, both of them rolling into the road. The car
continues speeding straight towards Jensen)
TRU
Jensen!
(he looks up and notices the car about
to smash into him, when Tru jumps into him, knocking him sideways and onto the
pavement. The car smashes through the tables and into the wall)
TRU
Are you okay?
JENSEN
Yeah, yeah, thank you. What the hell are
you doing here?
TRU
Call it fate. Just wait here, I’m gonna go
check on the driver
Cut to: Jack, walking away from
the scene
Cut to: Tru, running over to
Harrison and Travis
TRU
Are you all right?
HARRISON
Yeah, just a couple of bumps and bruises.
Nothing to write home about
TRU
Still, we should get you to the hospital,
get you checked out
HARRISON
Oh no no no, maybe later. Something me and
Travis gotta do
31. EXT. St. Augustine’s Church. DAY.
(the church bells are ringing, and the
wedding party is walking down the church steps)
TRAVIS
She is something, isn’t she?
HARRISON
Yeah, she’s a stunner. No doubt about it.
The question is, is she worth it?
TRAVIS
What do you think?
(a police car rolls up on the other
side of the road)
TRAVIS(cont’d)
Hey, uh, time for me to go, kid. Here’s
hoping I never see you around the yard
HARRISON
Like I told you. I’m not that guy anymore
TRAVIS
You know, I think you’re right
32. INT. Morgue. DAY.
TRU
I thought you might wanna know, we’re two
for two today
(Davis doesn’t reply)
Come on, Davis, you gotta admit, I saved
Jensen and the world didn’t end. So it’s okay to admit that you were wrong
DAVIS
I still think that my concerns were valid.
But, having said that, if I were the one reliving days, and Carrie had died on
Day One, I probably would’ve done the same thing. Oh, and speaking of Carrie,
um, I think it’s time we tell her the truth
TRU
About?
DAVIS
About what we do here
TRU
You don’t even know her
DAVIS
She…you know, I care about her. And I think
she would be an important asset. You know, if she’d have known about Jensen,
she wouldn’t have let him leave today
TRU(shaking
her head)
Davis…
DAVIS
Okay. All right, I didn’t think you’d go
for it, I just had to ask
TRU
I gotta go. I mean, I’m gonna be late for
my study session
DAVIS
See you tomorrow
Cut to: Shot
of Hudson University
33. INT. Anatomy Lab. DAY.
(As Tru enters, everyone bursts into
applause and Avery comes over to hug her)
TRU
Nice to see you too, Ave
AVERY
Thank you Tru, seriously, thank you. Thank
you, thank you
JENSEN
I sorta let it slip that you saved my life
today, so…
AVERY
And you know, if he had died, then, well, I
checked school policy, and we’d all would have gotten A’s for the semester
which would have been nice too
JENSEN
Yeah…
AVERY
I’m just saying
(she walks back to their table, and Tru
laughs. Then she notices Jensen holding his wrist)
TRU
Hey, are you okay?
JENSEN
Oh yeah, I just, I think I might have
sprained something when you tackled me
TRU
Oh God, I’m sorry about that
JENSEN
It’s okay. Believe me when I say I prefer
it to the alternative
TRU
Can I take a look?
JENSEN
Yeah, go ahead, please
(she takes his wrist and presses it
gently)
JENSEN
Ooh…
TRU
What?
JENSEN
That’s weird. I’m getting this serious case
of déjà vu right now
TRU
What, you feel like we’ve done this before?
JENSEN
Yeah, but like, exactly this. Me, you, the
wrist, everything. That’s crazy, right?
TRU
Crazy, yeah
(he walks away, and Tru is left
standing alone, looking a little nervous)
