Scene 3

Location: Jenny & Shane’s House

Shane & Carmen are in the living room. Carmen is playing Shane her latest techno/house mix and is looking for input. Shane is distracted and has a worried look on her face and is sitting on the couch.

Carmen: So what do you think?

No Response.

Carmen: Shane, are you with me? Carmen waves her hands in front of Shane’s face.

Shane: What?

Carmen: Do you like the new mix? I want to try it out tonight.

Shane: Oh, yeah, it’s cool

Carmen: That doesn’t sound very promising. [Pause] Were you even paying attention?

[Carmen is teasing Shane, she’s not angry. She goes over and sits on Shane’s lap.]

Baby, talk to me what’s on your mind?

[Carmen is pushing the hair out of Shane’s eyes. Shane has her I hate ***** talking ***** look on her face.]

Shane: I haven’t heard from Jenny. I’m just worried about her. I hope that she’s getting better and that I we didn’t hurt her, you know?

Carmen: Shane you’ve been a really good friend to Jenny. It’s not your fault that Jenny went loco. You did the right thing.

Shane: I guess…

Carmen hugs Shane.

End Scene.

Scene 4

Location: Illinois

Jenny is driving alone down the highway late at night it’s pitch black except for her headlights illuminating cornfields on either side of the road. She’s listening to the radio and is slightly more awake than the driving scene when she was on mushrooms in season one.

All of a sudden there is a bright light shining through the windshield and the car starts to lose power. Jenny manages to pull over to the side of the road. The light is becoming more intense. [Sound cue: Thermion version of the theme song.]

Jenny: What the *****?

Jenny opens the door and gets out of the car and shields her eyes against the light.

Next we see Jenny strapped to a table naked. Futuristic metal clamps bind her hands and feet and there are wires attached to her body and there is a helmet on her head, but we can still her face and scared eyes. She is surrounded by ETs (who don’t look too alien except for their pig faces a la the carnival scene) in long black robes and there are stripes in gold on the sleeves of the robes indicating rank.
