2.06 "Power Outage"
TEASER
FADE IN
OPEN TO-INT. ?JAIL CELL-MORNING
We see SAM laying down on the bottom part of a bunk bed, on her back. She looks as if she's staring at the bottom of the bed that's above her- either bored out of her mind or thinking very hard.
MAN: (O/S) Having fun?
SAM looks to the side, past the bars of her cell. ALAN and MARIE are standing there.
SAM: As a matter of fact?
She smiles.
MARIE: Are you someone's bitch already?
SAM turns to her and glares.
SAM: No. (beat) I might have a few bitches of my own though.
She smiles again.
ALAN: You seem oddly?cheerful?about being locked up.
SAM shrugs.
SAM: I know that I'm innocent, what's there to worry about?
ALAN looks at her, troubled.
ALAN: A lot, actually. Someone's trying to frame you.
SAM sits up, now looking as worried as ALAN does.
SAM: What? How do you know that?
ALAN looks hesitant.
ALAN: Well, I stole the girl's information folder from the dean's office-
SAM: You stole it? Why not just ask for it?
ALAN: When I'm done telling you what happened you'll understand. (beat) Anyway, I took it, trying to find something- anything. I'm not really sure what. (pause) But when I went to put it back, I heard people talking, so I waited outside?and I overheard the dean saying that he'd killed her.
SAM looks shocked.
SAM: Oh?wow?
She looks down.
SAM: (cont'd) I can't believe that, he seemed like such a nice person.
ALAN: Nice people do stupid things.
SAM brings up her gaze and her and ALAN'S eyes lock, but for a fleeting second.
SAM: But?why would he try to frame me?
ALAN: They, actually.
SAM looks confused at this.
ALAN: (cont'd) It sounded like he was working with his secretary. He was talking about it with her, anyway.
SAM: People must hate me.
ALAN: No. I think that they just picked a random person from the database.
SAM: Or they've got it out for me.
ALAN: But why?
SAM shrugs.
SAM: Maybe because I tell teachers off too much.
MARIE: So they're framing you for murder?
She rolls her eyes.
MARIE: (cont'd) For some reason, I really doubt that.
SAM: What else could it be? I've never done anything to them.
ALAN: Hello, did we listen to me? Random, remember?
MARIE shakes her head.
MARIE: If you're going to frame someone for murder you need to know the person, at least a little bit. It's kind of hard if you don't.
ALAN raises an eyebrow.
ALAN: And you know this?why?
MARIE: Television.
ALAN: (not convinced) Riiight?
MARIE glares at him, but then turns back to SAM.
SAM: Oddly enough, I agree with you.
ALAN: Whoa, pause button, rewind?you just agreed with Marie.
SAM: Don't be so dramatic.
She rolls her eyes. ALAN looks like he hears something.
ALAN: You hear that crackling? That's the sound of hell freezing over.
MARIE pushes his shoulder making him stumble back a little and SAM chuckles. MARIE begins to walk out of the jail. ALAN looks to SAM.
ALAN: So what should we do?
SAM: You're not really that dumb, are you?
ALAN looks annoyed.
SAM: (cont'd) You prove that I didn't do it.
He nods and walks out as MARIE did. SAM sits back down and sighs.
CUT TO-INT. ?FAITH AND ROBIN'S APARTMENT- MORNING
FAITH is sitting at the table, absent-mindedly stirring cream in a cup of coffee. It is already mixed, but she doesn't seem to notice.
LENA: (O/S) Okay I know you're thinking but seriously, it looks like all that you ever do is sit.
FAITH looks over in the living room, and glares at LENA sitting on the chair.
FAITH: You don't get to criticize me. This is my house, and I'll do whatever the hell I want.
LENA puts her hands up in mock-surrender.
LENA: Fine, fine?jeez.
She gets up off the chair and heads toward the kitchen.
LENA: (cont'd) You know, you don't need to, like, attack me. I'm here for your help, not your sarcasm.
FAITH: Uh huh. And tell me exactly why you're in my house?
LENA: Because you let me stay here?? (beat) Are you getting that one disease? That one where you lose your memory?
FAITH: Alzheimer's?
LENA: Yeah! That. Are you?
FAITH: Only old people get that.
LENA: Yeah, well?are you?
FAITH scoffs.
FAITH: Is the only reason you're hear to bug me? Because it's working. It really is.
LENA: You know why I'm here! Or, at least, you should. If you don't have-
FAITH: (annoyed) I don't have it! I'm not old.
LENA looks her up and down and raises an eyebrow. She rolls her eyes.
LENA: Whatever.
FAITH: I know it's because you need our help. But?
FAITH did not let herself utter the words. She was wondering why she had let LENA stay overnight there so easily and without judgment. FAITH was carefree, but not that carefree?
LENA: What?
FAITH shakes her head.
FAITH: Nothing. (pause) You didn't tell us what your probably actually is last night.
LENA: Oh, sorry?I was just tired and-
FAITH: That's alright.
No, it wasn't. Why was she accepting LENA so easily? She furrowed her brow.
LENA: The problem isn't really a what? (beat) It's a who.
FAITH: Who is it?
LENA: Clark Rutherford.
FAITH widens her eyes. That is the one thing in this situation that she has understood so far.
