LARRY:

Consider it done.

PIPER:

I’m sorry.

LARRY:

I’m putting it in this drawer. And

here it shall remain, safe and

sound until you’re back. Or until

I’m short on rent money. Then I

may hock it. But I’ll try to get

it back before you’re out.

Larry opens a drawer and places the ring inside.

PIPER:

We should go.

LARRY:

Yup.

Piper takes one last look around. She grips her envelope and

heads for the door. Larry picks up a small cooler bag and

follows her. Off the door closing behind them.

CUT TO:

EXT. STANSBURY PRISON CAMP - DAY

We follow Piper and Larry’s Fiat through gates and up a hill

to a parking lot. Before them looms a hulking building with

a triple-layer razor-wire fence. A sign outside it reads-

“STANSBURY FEDERAL CORRECTIONS FACILITY”

They pull into a spot between two other cars. A white pickup

truck with police lights pulls up in front them. Piper

opens her window and leans out.

OFFICER WHITE TRUCK GUY

There’s no visiting today.

PIPER:

I’m here to surrender.

OFFICER WHITE TRUCK GUY

Oh. All right then.

He pulls away.

RESET TO:

INT. FIAT

PIPER:

Did he look surprised to you? When

I said I was here to surrender?

Did he look surprised, like, ‘what

the hell is she doing here?’

LARRY:

I couldn’t see his face.

PIPER:

I think he was surprised.

Piper pulls down the visor and flips up the mirror.

PIPER (CONT’D)

I look like sh*t. My eyes are all

puffy.

LARRY:

You’re worried about how you look?

PIPER:

They’re gonna know I was crying.

It’s a sign of weakness. You can’t

show weakness. That’s what all

those books from Amazon said.

LARRY:

Oh, sweetie-

PIPER:

No. Don’t call me sweetie. I’m

gonna start crying again. And then

you’ll cry and I’ll cry more and

it’s all bad. Come on. Let’s do

this.

Piper resolutely opens her door... smack into the car next to

her.

PIPER (CONT’D)

Sh*t. Oh sh*t.

She gets out and shuts her door and assesses the damage she’s

done.

PIPER (CONT'D)

Okay, it’s fine. It’s fine, right?

Larry comes around and joins her.

LARRY:

There’s a little paint... dent.

Larry scratches at it with his fingernail.

LARRY (CONT’D)

It’s okay. I think it’s okay.

Should we leave a note?

PIPER:

We should just... go in.

LARRY:

Yeah?

PIPER:

Yes.

And they scurry off toward the looming, scary building,

suddenly in a rush.

CUT TO:

EXT. WATERFALL, KRAKATOA - FLASHBACK - BEAUTIFUL DAY

A TEN YEARS YOUNGER PIPER in a bikini stands on a small,

slippery rock at the top of a towering waterfall. Thirty

five feet below is a river pool of indiscernible depth.

Another woman in a bikini, a few years older than Piper, ALEX

VAUSE, is on a rock right next to her, and a native guide,

GUIDE MAN, stand behind them. They yell to be heard above

the roar of the falls.
