(the phone cuts out)
Hello? Hello?

She stares at the dead phone. Punches the buttons on it.
No go.
MIRANDA:
Wonderful.
She tosses the phone on the seat and hops out of the car.
Miranda cautiously approaches the girl, who is now notmoving. Just standing there. Her back to us.
MIRANDA:
Hello? Are you hurt? Hello?
Nothing. As we get closer we see she is covered inbruises. Clearly something horrible has happened to her.
MIRANDA:
Were you in an accident? Were you
attacked? It's okay, I'm a doctor.
(beat)
My name is Miranda Grey...
And now she turns. Young, seventeen tops. Busted lip,
black eye. Miranda pulls off her coat, wraps it aroundthe girl -
MIRANDA:
You're in shock right now, that'sperfectly natural. I'm going toget you to the hospital. Okay?
The girl suddenly grips Miranda's arm. Hard.
MIRANDA:
Don't be scared. It's going to befine.
Now the girl is touching Miranda's face. Her movements
desperate, smothering. Like the movements of a drowning
person. Miranda tries to push the girl's hands back down.
MIRANDA:
Hands off me, okay? Tell me yourname, do you remember your name?
The girl tries to speak but no words come out. Instead
she produces a strained, wettish sound. Creepy as hell.
And now she is prying Miranda's mouth open and she's muchstronger than expected and Miranda is panicking -

MIRANDA:
What are you doing? I'm trying tohelp you --?!
The girl opens her own mouth wide like a snake. And as
Miranda muffles a scream, blood starts leaking out of thegirl's eye sockets and from wounds all over her body.
SLAM CUT TO:
INT. BEDROOM - DAWN
Miranda wakes up in a cold sweat. Just a bad dream. A
beat.
FAINT at first but GROWING LOUDER, we hear a REPETITIVE
SOUND outside. Like an ECHO of some sort, but vaguelyfamiliar: THWIP, THWIP, THWIP.
Miranda takes a deep breath, reaches for the glass ofwater on her bedside table. Except... it's not there.
She turns to her husband but he's not in the bed. And
now she glances around the room and realizes this is nother bedroom.
She climbs off the bed and walks in the dark. Trips oversomething. A TRAY that CLANGS LOUDLY. Her heartbeat
goes haywire. She feels her way along the wall to asmall opening in the door. A glass pane.
She peers through the glass at the empty corridoroutside, realizing what this must mean, realizing she'sinside a cell.
She jiggles the handle and pounds on the door, frantic -
MIRANDA:
Hello? Somebody help me!
EXT. WOODWARD INSTITUTE - ESTABLISHING - DAY
CAMERA SOARS through the tall iron gates, past the guard.
Now we spot the source of our continuing THWIP THWIPsound: sprinklers watering the impressively-kept gardens.
