"On Open Wings"
TEASER
INT - TAXI CAB - LATE DAY
TRU stares straight ahead with her lips pursed tightly together. She holds her pose a few seconds, sighing slightly until PAN on LINDSAY who has an equally impassive expression on.
TRU
Linds....
LINDSAY
Just don’t Tru. I’ve got a long flight ahead of me and the last thing I need
is to feel guilt tripped...
TRU
I’m not guilt-tripping you!. I’m apologizing for the shitty vacation you had
to endure. Look Lindsay, I really am sorry and I promise the next time you
visit things will be better…
LINDSAY
The next time I visit? I don’t even know if there will be a next time. Between
you and school work, you and your ex, and Harrison.....This trip has been a
nightmare. I thought if I came here then...
TRU
You really miss him, don’t you?
LINDSAY
Every day..
TRU
(quietly)
I know the feeling.
LINDSAY
Right. Jensen...
TRU
He just left. I mean I knew things were going badly but... he left. Me,
school...maybe even his career…
LINDSAY
At least he didn’t leave you for someone two years younger than you. I was even stupid enough to think that Harrison would be...
TRU
Single?
Lindsay nods her head.
TRU
Avery… she’s a good friend...
LINDSAY
Is that supposed to make me feel good? Especially with those...stupid mind
games he played with me during lunch? There was nothing for me back there,
Randall’s gone... here? Harrison’s gone. What do I have?
TRU
I am so sorry...
LINDSAY
(looking out the window)
Wonderful. We’re here.
INT - AIRPORT/NEAR TERMINAL - LATE DAY
TRU and LINDSAY walk in silence as they near the woman taking up plane tickets at the terminal.
TRU
So.... Maybe next time you’ll stay more than two days.
LINDSAY
Maybe...
HARRISON
(offstage)
Tru, wait up....
PAN as both women look to see HARRISON and AVERY running up.
LINDSAY
What do you want, Harrison?
HARRISON
Oh c’mon...Can’t I see you off? We didn’t get to talk all that much. I wanted
to give my goodbyes...
LINDSAY
Yeah?
HARRISON
Yeah..I missed you...When do you think you’ll be coming back?
AVERY
I thought you were going to say goodbye, not give her an invitation to visit!
LINDSAY
Uh... we were talking.
AVERY
Like you were just talking when you were putting the moves on him...
HARRISON
(sheepishly)
I was just saying goodbye... it’s not like that...
LINDSAY
Like what, Harrison?
AVERY
Yeah, what is it then?
HARRISON looks at the two angry women and merely chuckles nervously in response.
LINDSAY
My flight’s leaving... goodbye Harrison.
LINDSAY turns to TRU briefly and forces a smile. TRU leans forward and hugs LINDSAY, after a moment LINDSAY hugs her back.
LINDSAY
See ya Tru…
TRU
Bye Linds… I know things are gonna work out for you. Trust me.
LINDSAY
Thanks Tru…I gotta go, bye…
LINDSAY looks to AVERY briefly and holds back glaring at her.
LINDSAY
Nice to meet you…
AVERY
Right…
LINDSAY takes hold of her bags and rushes away, taking one last look at each of her friends as she goes.
HARRISON
Ave...
AVERY
Save it. Call a cab for your ride...
With that AVERY turns on her heels and walks off, not looking back once. HARRISON looks back at TRU, looking completely shocked at what has just taken place. TRU merely shakes her head in response.
TRU
Smooth move, Casanova...
INT - AIRPORT - LATE DAY
HARRISON and TRU are standing next to a large window revealing the landing strip.
HARRISON
I just don’t get it. I mean, how did I let things get so wrong?
TRU
You really don’t know?
HARRISON
No....well okay, maybe there might have been some flirting going on, but I was
just trying to cheer Lindsay up.
TRU
Come on Hare, how would you feel if Avery was being all flirty with one of her
exes right in front of you?
HARRISON
I’ve never even met the guy.
TRU
So? Maybe you should think about what it would be like, and then maybe you can
fix things with Avery.
HARRISON
Well, could you talk to Avery for me? Maybe help me patch things up.
TRU
No way Harry, this is something you gotta do for yourself.
HARRISON
Come on Tru, you help people all the time. Just because it’s not a rewind day
doesn’t mean you can’t help people out… especially your bro.
TRU
That’s beside the point...Look... her plane’s taking off....
HARRISON
How much do you think long distance phone bills would be?
TRU rolls her eyes and opens her mouth to speak, but instead of the words she were to utter, a sharp cry escapes her lips instead when the plane LINDSAY was on blows up right in front of them.
END OF TEASER
BLACK OUT.
ACT ONE
INT - AIRPORT - LATE DAY
TRU
Oh God!
TRU screams as she still tries to process what has just happened. She tries to make a run for the terminal but HARRISON grabs her roughly around the middle.
TRU
Let me go....what the hell are you doing?
HARRISON
Tru, calm down...J-just......we’ve gotta...
TRU
Gotta what?
TRU finally pushing him away completely as the plane comes barreling down to the ground and crashes.
TRU
The plane.... Lindsay... oh.... oh God....
HARRISON
Lindsay....
HARRISON tries to make a grab for his sister once more but he suddenly yells and slams his fist against the glass. As his hand hits he begins letting tiny sobs escape his body before he’s leaned against the glass crying. TRU says nothing and begins to ran away. She's almost at the entrance door for the airstrip until a security guard grabs her.
TRU
Let me go!
SECURITY GAURD
Ma’am, you’re not allowed through here.
TRU
My friend was in there! I have to get to her!
SECURITY GAURD
You need to calm down, is what you need to do. They’re already getting the med
staff out there and as soon as we know anything we’ll let...
TRU
I’m a doctor.
SECURITY GAURD
A doctor?
TRU
Yes, a doctor, I work at the city morgue…I could help... y-you need all the
people you can get.
SECURITY GAURD
(waving her in, grabbing his radio)
Expect a twenty something female. Doctor, allowed clearance....
TRU
Thank you.
EXT - LANDING STRIP - LATE DAY
TRU clamors past officers and the medical staff trying to assess the situation. She holds a hand to her mouth when she sees bodies already strewn about. She steps past the bodies until she sees a lone officer, shaking his head.
TRU
What happened?
OFFICER
We don’t know. Are you a doctor? There’s some staff over there....more...bodies. They could use some assistance.
TRU nods and hurries in that direction, instantly finding a group of doctors hunched around various people, checking for any signs of life. She gulps and heads over, stopping in her tracks when she sees the nearest body.
TRU
Oh god...No... oh god no…Please.....
LINDSAY
(turning her head at Tru)
Help me
In an instant, more bodies begin to stir and sit up slightly to face TRU.
BODY 1
Save me....
BODY 2
Please....
BODY 3
I need you...
BODY 4
Help us....
TRU has no time to bask in her shock and confusion before the day rewinds.
END ACT OF ONE
BLACK OUT.
ACT TWO
INT - TRU'S APARTMENT- DAY
TRU bolts upright in bed, a cold sweat glistening on her face.
TRU
Lindsay. Oh my God…
The phone RINGS and TRU is quick to answer it.
TRU
(into phone)
Harry!
HARRISON V.O
You know it’s still a little freaky when you do that. What’s the matter, sis?
You sound like you've just fielded a call from Ghostbusters or something.
TRU
Wrong time to play mind games, Harry. I need your help today.
HARRISON V.O
Yeah well, you don’t usually sound this stressed out when you wanna just go
for coffee. What’s up?
TRU
(into phone)
Something is going to go wrong with Lindsay’s flight out tonight. I’m gonna
need your help to keep that from happening.
HARRISON V.O
But, if it’s one of those days then...
TRU
(into phone)
Meet me at the coffee shop in 30 minutes and I’ll tell you everything.
HARRISON V.O
I’m already on it. See ya in 30.
INT - STANDARD DINER - DAY
HARRISON and TRU are sitting in a booth talking.
TRU
Yesterday I went with Linds to the airport. Suffice to say we didn’t exactly
end things on the right foot, so let’s just say I better make up for it today or else I owe her one hell of a vacation the next time she comes here. Anyway,
then you and Ave came by because you claimed you didn’t get to say goodbye to
her properly and she left to get on her plane. Everything was
fine until...
HARRISON
Until what, Tru?
TRU
We both saw the plane blow up. Right in front of us, Harry! Right in front of
us!
HARRISON
But Lindsay…
TRU
She asked for my help yesterday, thank god…. But so did all of the other
passengers on that plane. And since there’s no way I can be in two places at
once, I need you to help me.
HARRISON
I’ve got your back, sis. Anything you need.
TRU
Good. I’m gonna be meeting Lindsay at the mall later to go shopping like we
planned yesterday after she got in. Lindsay asked to have lunch with you
and my new friend Avery who’ll be at the mall too while we were shopping
so you should be hearing from us in an hour or two. You gotta handle this
one delicately Harry, Lindsay still has feelings for you and I think it’s
one of the reasons she came back. If you’re not careful you could mess
things up with her AND Avery. Watch yourself…
HARRISON
All right, all right, I got it. I’ll try not to screw things up. Besides, I’ve
got you to watch out for me in case I’m about to do anything stupid.
TRU
Right, anyway, I gotta go. I’ll see you in a little while. Oh, and Harry? Go
easy on the flirting today…
INT - RICHARD'S OFFICE - DAY
TRU
Let me guess, she’s doing the heroic thing again today?
JACK
’Fraid so. But I think we’re all in for a lot more than we bargained for.
RICHARD
How so?
JACK
Well, from what I saw it looked like Tru knows the victim personally, I saw
her modeling some clothes for her. Then there was what looked like two
love birds holding hands, I think it was Harrison and Tru’s friend… Avery.
Then I saw what looked like an airport terminal, I think there was
a plane ticket with the flight number 740, the inside of an airplane, a
lot of shaking and then I heard a very loud explosion.(pause) Seems like a
plane went down and Tru’s friend Lindsay was one of the passengers. I
happen to know for a fact that Lindsay’s going back to Europe today.
CARRIE
(stepping in)
Oh, please don’t tell me you’re gonna have all that fun without me.
JACK
Wasn’t planning on it, but if you insist…
RICHARD
Well, Jack, what’s your strategy today?
EXT/INT - AIRPORT - DAY
DAVIS V.O
City Morgue…
TRU
(into phone)
Davis, it’s Tru.
DAVIS V.O
Oh, hi, Tru. Hey, aren’t you with Lindsay today? I thought she was leaving
later tonight.
TRU
(into phone)
Well, let’s just say she won’t be going anywhere near the airport if I have
anything to do with it.
DAVIS V.O
Oh my God, Tru is it…-
TRU
(into phone)
-Yeah, it’s a rewind day. And if I don’t stop Lindsay’s plane from taking off
tonight, the whole plane’s gonna blow up. I already saw it blow up once in
front of me, Davis. I can’t let this happen again.
DAVIS V.O
My God, Tru. I’m so sorry. S-so is there anything I can do to help?
TRU
(into phone)
Not yet, Davis. All I know is that I not only have to save Lindsay, but I have
to save a whole plane full of passengers. They all asked for my help. If I
don’t save them then I… And then with Jack…who knows how he’s gonna try
and get in my way today!
DAVIS V.O
You can do this, Tru. All you have to do is focus. Don’t worry about Jack
right now. Just focus on making sure that plane doesn’t leave.
TRU
Right… thanks, D.
DAVIS V.O
You’re welcome.
TRU
I’ll give you a call if I need anything.
TRU closes her cell and continues wandering around the terminal, finally stopping at the gate. As she makes her way to the gate’s counter, someone hurriedly rushes by her.
MAN
Excuse me, miss. I’m sorry.
TRU dismisses the encounter from her mind as she approaches the gate’s counter.
TRU
Excuse me. What time does this afternoon’s flight to England depart at?
ATTENDANT
It departs at 4:30 p.m.
JACK - O.S
Aww… what’s with the long face, Tru?
WIDE as JACK is seen standing behind TRU.
END OF ACT TWO
BLACK OUT.
ACT THREE
INT - AIRPORT- DAY
TRU
What is it this time, Jack.
JACK
’Aw, c’mon, Tru, is that really a nice way to go about greeting a friend?
TRU
We’re not friends, Jack. You’re a royal pain in my ass that doesn’t seem to
know the meaning of ‘leave me alone’.
JACK
Oh, that’s a little harsh now, don’t you think? Could it be your bad mood is
because your friend Lindsay is going to die today?
TRU
She’s not going to die today, Jack. That was yesterday. At least this time
I’ve got the upper hand. I don’t have to get into her life, I’m already in
it. And just so we’re clear? Stay away from my friends.
JACK
Message received. I just don’t want to see you meddling with Fate, Tru.
TRU
My best friend is in danger. You don’t really expect me to just stand by and
watch, do you?
JACK
Who said I was talking about Lindsay?
TRU
What do you mean?
JACK remains silent.
TRU
Fine, just stay the hell out of my way today Jack.
INT - MORGUE - DAY
CARRIE enters the office while DAVIS is busy at his desk.
CARRIE
Hey there, handsome…
Davis looks up from his computer screen at her.
DAVIS
Uh… hi Carrie…
CARRIE
You’re looking pretty intense there, busy saving the world?
DAVIS
Oh, uh… no, I’m just working on next week’s schedule. I don’t usually do the
saving though.
CARRIE
Of course, Tru’s the one who does the heavy lifting. Is she working today?
DAVIS
No she’s… out, in the field.
CARRIE
Saving someone from a gruesome death no doubt?
DAVIS
Yes, actually, one of her best friends was on a plane yesterday that got blown
up. She’s out trying to keep her from it.
CARRIE
Really, that must be hurting her pretty bad. Can I do anything? Maybe I could
talk to her and make her feel better.
DAVIS
No, she’s handling it all right. Thank you for asking though.
CARRIE
So there’s absolutely nothing I can do?
DAVIS
Not unless you can ground flight 740 somehow.
CARRIE
Well, not really something I’m used to doing, but I can give it some thought.
DAVIS
Thanks…
CARRIE leaves the morgue and takes out her cell phone, opening it and dialing a number.
CARRIE
(into phone)
Homeland Security…Yes, I’d like to file a report. I’m a psychologist and I
have reason to believe one of my patients may attempt to ground a plane.
DISPATCHER
What’s the name?
INT - MALL - DAY
TRU walks up to one of the food court tables where LINDSAY is waiting for her.
TRU
Hey…
LINDSAY
Hey Tru… What’s wrong?
TRU
It’s nothing.
LINDSAY
Okay… well, you wanna sit down or something?
TRU
Sure…
TRU takes a seat at the table.
TRU
So, how are you?
LINDSAY
I’m really not sure how to answer that. I thought I had everything figured
out. In the short time we were married, I was so sure that it would be
forever. And then I caught him with that… tramp. Everything has changed
since then.
TRU
It’ll be okay, Linds. You’ll find a way to get your life back on track and
it’ll be fine.
LINDSAY
I’m just, trying not to think about it right now. It’s one of the reasons I
came back, to see my best friend Tru… and to have a little fun.
TRU
Well, I don’t know how much fun I can be but I’ll definitely give it a shot.
LINDSAY
Okay then, let’s do that shopping thing we came here to do.
TRU
Good plan.
EXT - AVERY'S APARTMENT - DAY
HARRISON is standing outside wating for AVERY when JACK walks up.
JACK
Hey buddy…
HARRISON
You really should stop doing that, Jack. If you sneak up on the wrong person
you might find yourself in front of a moving bus.
JACK
I thought you were the one going around messing with Fate and helping your big
sis save people.
HARRISON
Maybe so, but according to your whacko theory I’m already messing with Fate
just by existing. So what does it really matter whether I help her or not?
JACK
That’s true, but then you really have to ask yourself. Could this really be
your fault?
HARRISON
What are you talking about, Jack?
JACK
Think about it, Harrison, the fact that you’re still around causes so many
ripples in Fate. You touch a lot of lives every day, even if you don’t realize
it, and you and Lindsay touched each other deeply once upon a time. How do you
know that today isn’t your fault?
HARRISON
My fault…?
JACK
Yes, how do you know that Fate isn’t punishing you for being alive? Fate
doesn’t forget things, Harrison. It remembers that you’re supposed to be
dead and you’re not. It can’t just let you get away with that. For all you
know, Fate is taking out the fact that it can’t have you…on Lindsay.
HARRISON
Whatever Jack…
JACK
Hey, I’m just speaking the truth.
HARRISON
Your truth maybe…
JACK
It’s Fate’s truth, Harrison, not mine. It’s why good old Jensen left Tru, and
why you could never make it work with Lindsay. Heck, it’ll probably screw up
your relationship with Avery eventually.
HARRISON
You stay away from my girlfriend.
JACK
Fine, just don’t be surprised if something happens to…
AVERY
(walking up)
Harrison…
HARRISON
Hey baby.
AVERY
Who’s the guy?
HARRISON
He’s…-
JACK
-ack Harper, nice to see you again, I think we met at Tru’s Christmas party a
while back…
AVERY
Avery Bishop. So you’re a friend of Tru’s?
HARRISON
He’s not a friend, Ave. Let’s not waste any time on him.
JACK
It was nice meeting you.
INT - MALL - DAY
TRU and LINDSAY are together in the fitting rooms, changing and trying on clothing items as they talk.
LINDSAY
So, he just left you?
TRU
Yeah, he just up and left. I suppose I’d be okay if it was just me he’d left.
I could deal with seeing him every day as long as it was what he wanted.
But he didn’t just leave me, he left school, he left town, and I have no
idea where he went.
LINDSAY
Well, he’s a dunce for leaving such a hot girl as you. Just be thankful you
didn’t find him screwing his secretary in your own bed.
TRU
I almost wish he had. (pause) I’m sorry, I didn’t mean…
LINDSAY
It’s okay, don’t worry about it. (indicating her pants) What do you think?
TRU
I don’t know, I don’t really like the look of the back pockets.
LINDSAY
Hmm, well I like them. (observing Tru) What?
TRU
Nothing…
LINDSAY
Tru…?
TRU
Hmm…?
LINDSAY
I guess some things never change.
TRU
What do you mean?
LINDSAY
Almost every time we went shopping or having coffee or whatever back before I
moved, you always had your head somewhere else. You never would tell me
why either. You just had to keep it a big secret, from everyone.
TRU
Look, Linds…
AVERY
(walking up)
Tru…?
TRU
Avery… hey… What are you doing here?
AVERY
What does it look like I’m doing? I’m shopping. I guess I don’t have to ask
what you’re doing here.
TRU
Right…Oh, uh, Avery… this is Lindsay, my best friend visiting from England.
Lindsay, this is Avery, she goes to med school with me.
LINDSAY
Hey…
AVERY
Hey there…
TRU
Nice top, you gonna try it on?
AVERY
That’s what I’m doing here. Trying clothes on is kinda the point of being
here, isn’t it? Harrison’s across the hall at the record store that
sells DVDs.
LINDSAY
Harrison’s here? You know Tru, it’s almost lunch time and I’m getting kinda
hungry. Maybe once we’re done here the four of us can grab lunch at the old
diner? I used to love doing that.
TRU
I don’t know, Ave? What do you think?
AVERY
Sure… but first I’m going to try this on.
INT - MORGUE - DAY
CARRIE makes her way into the morgue, heading straight for DAVIS in his office again. She speaks into her cell phone quietly enough so that DAVIS can’t hear before closing the conversation.
CARRIE
Thanks, Jack. (closing phone and to Davis) Hey, how’s it going?
DAVIS
Hey Carrie… did you have any luck?
CARRIE
Actually, I did. I called Homeland Security and told them that a patient of
mine might be thinking about hijacking a plane. They said they’d look into it
and ground the plane if necessary.
DAVIS
Oh… that’s good. I wasn’t really sure I could do it.
CARRIE
I guess it’s a good thing that you have me then, isn’t it?
DAVIS
Y-yes, it-it really is… I’m glad you found a way. I was kinda coming up empty.
CARRIE
Well, now that we’ve got that taken care of, maybe you and I should have
lunch. I hear there’s a great little place down the street. We could get a
booth and talk.
DAVIS
W-well yeah, sure… that sounds like a lot of fun. I’ll just, change my coat
and… and then we can go.
CARRIE
Great…Let’s go.
END OF ACT THREE
BLACK OUT.
ACT FOUR
INT - STANDARD DINER - LATE DAY
TRU, HARRISON, LINDSAY and AVERY are all sitting in a booth at the Standard Diner, a noticeable uncomfortable silence between them.
HARRISON
Well, I never really thought Randall was good enough for you anyway.
LINDSAY
Thanks, Harrison…
AVERY looks at LINDSAY and then takes HARRISON'S hand in hers, indicating to the other female that he is taken. LINDSAY reacts.
TRU
Lindsay, I…
LINDSAY
I, I need to go to the bathroom, I’ll be right back.
JACK
(coming up from O.S)
Tru, well isn’t this just the strangest coincidence? I come in to get some
food, and here you are. I thought I’d sit down and say hello.
TRU
Hello Jack, now get out of my way.
JACK
You know, every time I meet one of you Davies you make some mean remark
towards me. Did I do something wrong?
TRU
That’s putting it mildly, Jack, now get your butt out of the booth so I can
get out.
JACK
Well okay, but I kinda wanted to have an important conversation with you Tru,
especially with that flight leaving later today.
TRU
What are you planning, Jack?
JACK
Nothing, what the heck could I do? You’ve got a plane to stop, all I have to
do is wait for it to take off. The passengers will do the rest for me.
TRU
What do you mean the passengers will do the rest for you?
JACK
Well, let’s just say there are some unsavory folks scheduled to take a flight
out to England at 4:30 this afternoon. People you don’t really want
on the plane if you expect the other passengers to survive. I could
give you their names if you want. They’re all locked up here. (tapping his
head) But hey, maybe you found some other way to keep the plane on the
ground.
WAITRESS O.S
Pick up for Harper?
TRU watches JACK leave and then walks towards the bathroom as she pulls out her phone, talking discretely into it.
TRU
(into phone)
Davis?
DAVIS V.O
Oh uh, yes, Tru…
TRU
Davis, I can’t figure out how I’m gonna get the plane grounded. Jack just
showed up and from what he said I think there might be terrorists on the
plane.
DAVIS V.O
That could be, Tru, but it also could be what Jack wants you to think
. Besides, you don’t have to worry about the plane, I took care of it.
TRU
(into phone)
How did you do that?
DAVIS V.O
Uh… I, I called Homeland Security and told them that I was worried that
someone I knew would be disruptive on the plane. They said they’d ground the
flight until they could check out the passengers.
TRU
(into phone)
Oh, well, that’s good. We should still follow up though. Its 3:45 now, do you
think you could call the airline and confirm that the plane
is grounded?
DAVIS V.O
Sure Tru, no problem. I’ll call them right away.
TRU
(into phone)
Thanks D…
DAVIS V.O
Like I said, I’m here for you. I’ll let you know when I have something.
TRU
(into phone)
Okay, I’ll talk to you soon, Davis.
TRU continues to make her way towards the bathroom when LINDSAY walks out and heads towards the table, grabbing her coat as she does.
LINDSAY
Look, I’m…it was nice seeing you again Harrison and, it was… nice to meet you
Avery but uh, I think I’m just gonna go.
TRU
No, Linds, come on, stay. We can go to the movies or something. Go to a club
maybe?
HARRISON
Yeah, come on. We could have a lot of fun, the four of us.
LINDSAY
No, I, I think I’m just gonna go home. I’m sure there’s a flight back heading
out soon. Good thing I got an open ended ticket, I can leave
whenever I want. I’ll see you guys. Thanks for the vacation, Tru.
TRU
I’m gonna… I’ll be right back.
STEADY as TRU follows LINDSAY outside.
TRU
Linds…Look, I’m sorry about what you saw in there. Harrison and Avery are
together now but that doesn’t mean you should leave the country.
LINDSAY
Why not…? It’s not like I have any reason to stay.
TRU
You do, Lindsay. Come on, you lived most of your life here, there are other
things you could do. Try and get work at some marketing firm. There are things
that you can do. You don’t have to pin everything on what’s happening with
Harrison. Stay, please…
LINDSAY
I can’t, I’m sorry, it’s just not something I’m ready for. I at least have to
go back and settle the divorce with Randall.
TRU
Yeah, but you don’t have to do it right now. Wait a day maybe.
LINDSAY
I can’t.
LINDSAY climbs into a cab and TRU follows in after her. CUT TO: INT OF CAB.
TRU
(to driver)
Can you take the scenic route to the airport please? (to Lindsay) Okay, let’s go.
LINDSAY
What are you doing, Tru?
TRU
Look, I still think you shouldn’t go right away. I mean, you just got here and
all. But if you really want to leave, then I’m not just going to let my
best friend leave without a proper goodbye.
LINDSAY
Fine…
INT - TAXI CAB - LATE DAY
TRU
Lindsay…
LINDSAY
I was so stupid.
TRU
You’re not stupid, Linds.
LINDSAY
I came back thinking that Harrison would just be waiting for me. That I could
come back and just pick up where we left off.
TRU
Maybe you were, but just because Harrison isn’t available does not mean you
don’t have anything worth being here for. Just because Randall cheated
on you doesn’t mean you don’t have something worth finding in England.
Stay here a few more days at least. Even if you do go back to England
tomorrow, the divorce won’t be finalized right away, right?
LINDSAY
No, it won’t.
TRU
So stay here for a few days. You don’t have to leave right now, do you? You
came back to town because you wanted to get away from England and Randall.
Going back isn’t going to do you any good. You’re just going to
be reminded of how alone you are over there. But here you’ve got people
who care about you and want you to be okay. Come on Lindsay, stay. At
least for the full week you were planning on.
LINDSAY
All right, I’ll stay.
TRU
Good, okay… (to driver) Would you mind turning this cab around? We’re going
back to my place instead of the airport.
INT- TRU'S APARTMENT - NIGHT
TRU and LINDSAY are both flopped on TRU's couch, eating icecream and watching TV.
TRU
See? Isn’t this so much better than sitting on a plane for 6 hours to eat
bangers and mash? Whatever that is…
NEWSCASTER V.O
Tragic news today as flight 740 to England exploded in mid take-off this
afternoon…
TRU all but goes white and tunes out the TV voice over pictures from the crash playing on the screen.
END OF ACT FOUR
BLACK OUT.
