Jack Has a Plan to Escape; He Gets
Help from Kayla, but She Is also Captured.

SCENE ONE: JACK AND ISABELLA ARE STILL IN THE PADDED ROOM. ISABELLA PICKS UP A SANDWICH AND IS ABOUT TO TAKE A BITE.

 

JACK: Don't even think about it.

ISABELLA: I'm starving.

JACK: I know that. We've just got to make sure they think we've eaten every doped bite of this stuff. Okay, time to feed Mr. Wall.

ISABELLA: Okay. It's not going to be much longer. We don't have to eat, right. We're only going to be here a little while longer.

JACK: Eh?

ISABELLA: Okay.

JACK: There you go. Hmm. Yum!

 

JACK KEEPS STUFFING FOOD DOWN INTO THE SLIT IN THE PADDED WALL.

JACK: Strong bodies, gold wings.

ISABELLA: The guards will be here any minute.

JACK: Good. I can't hold you off much longer.

ISABELLA: They're coming.

JACK: There they are. Okay, just lie down like you're asleep. Leave the plate. Okay.

ISABELLA: Okay.

SCENE TWO: JACK AND ISABELLA LIE DOWN ON THEIR BEDS AND THE GUARDS START YELLING FOR THEM TO PASS OUT THE TRAY. THEY LIE STILL PRETENDING THEY ARE DOPED. WHEN THE GUARDS GET NO ANSWER THEY COME IN THE ROOM. THEY CHECK JACK AND THEN WALK OVER TO ISABELLA. WHILE THEIR BACKS ARE TURNED, JACK GRABS ONE AND PUNCHES HIM WHILE ISABELLA THROWS A BLANKET OVER THE OTHER ONE. THEY THEN MAKE A RUN FOR THE DOOR AND PULL IT SHUT AND LOCK IT.

 

JACK: Get out quick! Hey you guys try the lunch, it's a real sleeper. Okay, stay calm. They're in the quiet room and we're not.

ISABELLA: Jack, what are we going to do now?

JACK: We are going to walk out of here like two very sane people, walking

out of a loony bin. We've got to find a phone.

ISABELLA: Okay. I know where one is. Follow me.

JACK: Follow you. Okay.

 

JACK AND ISABELLA GO DOWN A FLIGHT OF STEPS.

 

ISABELLA: I can't believe we got away really simply.

JACK: We sure know how to use a body guard. Now we're still looking for Mr. Phone.

ISABELLA: I know where the phone is. Why?

JACK: Well you don't think my car's still going to be here after all this time. We're going to need somebody to drive us away from this place once we get out.

ISABELLA: Jack, you're crazy. We can't trust anybody.

JACK: Will you just cut it out with the doom and gloom stuff? You're going to hex us. You better hope you're not right.

ISABELLA: Jack, who are we going to call?

JACK: Well not the Ghostbusters.

 

THEY HEAR FOOTSTEPS.

 

JACK: Either it's them or it's not them. Just be cool. Keep walking.

ISABELLA: Follow me.

JACK: Okay.

SCENE THREE: JACK AND ISABELLA COME INTO A HALLWAY. JACK IS CASUALLY WHISTLING TO ACT COOL.

 

ISABELLA: Jack?

JACK: Huh?

ISABELLA: There's a phone.

JACK: Where?

ISABELLA: Right behind us.

JACK: Oh. Just act calmly, coolly. Just go for the phone.

 

JACK PICKS IT UP IN A PANIC AND AN ALARM GOES OFF. THEY BOTH PANIC AND LOOK FOR SOMEWHERE TO HIDE. THE FIND THE LAUNDRY ROOM UNLOCKED AND HIDE INSIDE. THE GUARDS WALK PAST.

 

ISABELLA: I think he's gone.

JACK: He'll be back.

ISABELLA: Yeah, you're right, we can't stay here.

JACK: We're going to need somebody's help if we're ever going to get away from this place.

ISABELLA: You keep saying that. Who's going to help us?

JACK: Steve? Steve.

ISABELLA: You say that like you're making a mistake.

JACK: Well he might not show up.

ISABELLA: I've had enough of getting let down. I hope we can count on him.

JACK: Oh well, there's only one way to find out, isn't there?

ISABELLA: Where are you going?

JACK: You got a quarter?

ISABELLA: You're not going to try and use the phone, are you?

JACK: Hey, it's the next best thing to being there. Wish me luck, huh.

 

JACK OPENS THE DOOR AND PEEPS OUT.

 

JACK: All clear.

ISABELLA: Jack, be careful.

JACK: I know, I know. It's fine. It's all quiet on the Western Front. Come on.

SCENE FOUR: JACK SHUTS THE DOOR AND LEAVES ISABELLA INSIDE. THEN HE GOES TO THE PHONE AND CALLS STEVE. STEVE IS NOT HOME; KAYLA ANSWER.

KAYLA: Hello. JACK: Kayla, Kayla, where's Steve?

KAYLA: Who is this?

JACK: It's Jack. Can you get Steve for me? It's important.

KAYLA: I'm sorry he's not here. He just left.

JACK: DAMN!

KAYLA: Jack, what is it? What's going on?

JACK: Look Kayla, I need your help. You're all I've got. Please. Sorry you can't hear me over the siren. Look, I'm at the Bayview Sanitarium.

KAYLA: What are you doing there?

JACK: I can't explain it right now. Look Kayla, alright. Look I was trying to help you and Steve but everything got out of hand. I need somebody to take a car and drive down by the parkway, down by the front gate. You know where that is?

KAYLA: I think so.

JACK: Look, tell Steve. He'll do it if you tell him to, alright.

KAYLA: Jack I don't know what's going on.

JACK: Look it....

 

A GUARD COMES UP TO JACK.

 

GUARD: Hold it right there pal.

JACK: It's....it's for you!

 

JACK JAMS THE PHONE INTO THE GUARD AND KNOCKS HIM OVER THEN HE RUNS BACK INTO THE LAUNDRY ROOM.

 

ISABELLA: Jack, what's happening?

JACK: Don't panic.

 

JACK PUSHES A LAUNDRY CART IN FRONT OF THE DOOR.

 

ISABELLA: Don't panic? We're trapped in here.

JACK: Oh better be in here than out there.

ISABELLA: What are we going to do?

JACK: Aaah, we're going to....Sssshhh....CHUTE, HERE SAUTE! How much do you weigh?

ISABELLA: What?

JACK: Don't worry about it.

 

JACK GOES OVER TO THE WALL AND LIFTS UP A LARGE FLAP DOOR LEADING TO THE LAUNDRY CHUTE.

 

JACK: Go in there.

 

ISABELLA CLIMBS IN.

 

ISABELLA: It's a long way down there.

JACK: I know. GO!

ISABELLA: You right behind me?

 

JACK: Right behind you. Go, go. Good luck! Because we're going to need it. OOOOOHHHH!

 

JACK SLIDES DOWN THE SAUTE HEAD FIRST.

RIGHT BEHIND ISABELLA.

SCENE FIVE: MEANWHILE KAYLA IS STILL ON THE PHONE.

 

KAYLA: Jack, Jack.

 

SHE HANGS UP.

 

KAYLA: Maybe he is trying to help us.

 

KAYLA WRITES A NOTE TO STEVE TELLING HIM WHERE SHE IS GOING. SHE LEAVES IT ON THE TABLE AND OPENS THE DOOR TO LEAVE AND HELP JACK. AS THE DOOR OPENS THE WIND BLOWS THE NOTE ONTO THE FLOOR.

SCENE SIX: MEANWHILE JACK AND ISABELLA ARE OUTSIDE.

 

JACK: I don't see anybody.

ISABELLA: They can probably see us.

JACK: Well, that's one reason we're not going out the front gate. No, we're going to go....er....we're going to go under that fence and through those woods.

ISABELLA: And the guards will catch us.

 

THEY HEAR THE GUARDS COMING.

 

JACK: Look I want you to go ahead and I'll try to hold off the Beastie Boys.

ISABELLA: No I can't.

JACK: Look, there's a sign out there. It says Salem 5 Miles. You stay right by that sign and I'll meet you there.

ISABELLA: I don't want to leave you Jack.

JACK: I'm telling you, GO! Quickly, just go. I'll be there. Promise. Just go.

 

ISABELLA RUNS AWAY.

 

JACK: I have to er.....(He decides to hide.)

SCENE SEVEN: A SHORT TIME LATER, JACK GETS OUT AND IS WAITING BY THE SIGN FOR ISABELLA TO TURN UP. IT IS ALMOST WINTER AND JACK IS FREEZING.

 

JACK: Come on Isabella. Come on, where are you?

 

A CAR PULLS UP AND IT IS KAYLA.

 

JACK: Kayla, Kayla, where's Steve?

KAYLA: I couldn't find him. What's going on? Come on, get in.

JACK: I can't. I....I'm waiting for somebody.

KAYLA: You've got to be kidding.

JACK: I wish I was.

KAYLA: Jack, whoever it is, obviously isn't coming. So come on.

JACK: No, I think she's going to make it.

KAYLA: She?

JACK: Yeah.

KAYLA: I don't like this. Come on, get in.

JACK: Okay.

 

ALONG COMES A GUARD.

 

GUARD: Don't even think about it. Put your hands on top of the car.

JACK: Oh no.

GUARD: Where do you think you were going?

 

JACK SIGHS AND LOOKS THOROUGHLY DEPRESSED. KAYLA IS FRIGHTENED.

 

SCENE ONE: STEVE HAS COME HOME AND FOUND KAYLA MISSING.

JENNIFER ARRIVES SOON AFTER AFTER AND SAYS THAT SHE CAME TO TALK TO KAYLA AND IF SHE IS NOT THERE SHE WILL GO. AS SHE IS LEAVING SHE NOTICES THE NOTE KAYLA LEFT AND PICKS IT UP OFF THE FLOOR.

SCENE TWO: BACK OUTSIDE BAYVIEW.

 

GUARD: Get away from the door.

JACK: I didn't know it was standard practice to order a....

GUARD: SHUT UP!

KAYLA: Would somebody please tell me what's going on here?

JACK: I'll tell you what's going on. I was just trying to take a walk around the sanitarium when....

GUARD: SHUT UP! You escaped and I'm going to take you back.

KAYLA: Escaped?

GUARD: Yes and since you're trying to help him, I'm going to take you with him. Put your hands on the roof across from your boyfriend here.

JACK: I've never seen this lady before in my life.

GUARD: Right.

JACK: Really. I was just on the side of the road and she picked me up. She was just trying to....

KAYLA: That's right. I was just being nice. It's cold out here.

JACK: Yes. You remember nice. I mean....We've never seen each other.

 

JACK TURNS AROUND AND SEES ISABELLA HIDING IN THE BUSHES.

 

GUARD: Where's the other woman?

KAYLA: I have no idea what you're talking about.

 

JACK SIGNALS ISABELLA TO HIDE AND SHE DOES. WHILE THE GUY IS TRYING TO TIE UP KAYLA, JACK JUMPS IN THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR.

 

JACK: Hey move Kayla run. Get back in the car.

 

SHE TRIES TO BUT THE GUARD GRABS HER.

 

GUARD: You, out! You remember the game? Hands on the roof. Close the door.

 

JACK GETS OUT AND PUTS HIS HAND ON THE ROOF. HE LOOKS AT THE GUY LIKE HE IS REALLY DUMB BUT DOES AS HE'S TOLD.

SCENE THREE: MEANWHILE STEVE IS ANNOYED WHEN HE READS THE NOTE. HE TELLS JENNIFER THAT KAYLA SAYS SHE WENT TO HELP JACK. JENNIFER TELLS STEVE THAT JACK IS IN BIG TROUBLE AND THAT HE HAS BEEN SNEAKING OFF TO SEE ISABELLA TOSCANO AT BAYVIEW. SHE SAYS SHE IS VERY WORRIED ABOUT JACK. HE SAYS THAT JACK SHOULD BUTT OUT AND MIND HIS OWN BUSINESS. HE ASKS FOR JENNIFER'S KEYS TO GO TO THE SANITARIUM. SHE GIVES THEM TOO HIM; HE REFUSES TO LET HER GO WITH HIM.

>SCENE FOUR: JACK AND KAYLA ARE BROUGHT BACK TO BAYVIEW AND PUSHED INTO A ROOM.

 

JACK: Oh wait! Okay, okay, alright.

 

THE GUY POINTS A GUN AT THEM AND THEN LOCKS THEM IN.

 

JACK: Look I didn't mean to drag you into this mess, especially now.

KAYLA: I know.

JACK: So what happened to Steve? I thought he was going to come.

KAYLA: Well he wasn't home and you sounded so frantic on the phone.

JACK: So you showed up instead? (Smiling) Who would have guessed that?

KAYLA: Why don't you just tell me what's going on Jack?

JACK: Well it's kind of a long story.

KAYLA: Well it looks like we're going to have a long time.

JACK: Alright. That girl that I was looking for. I helped her escape from here. Her name is Isabella.

KAYLA: Isabella Toscano? Marina's sister.

JACK: How did you know that?

KAYLA: Well Steve told me about her but I don't understand what she has to do with you.

JACK: Well I could ask you the same thing. I was trying to figure out what she had to do with you. That's what I....I figured if I could find that out, I could help you. Now this sounds crazy but I....I really was trying to help you.

KAYLA: Help us how?

SCENE FIVE: THE DOOR OPENS, THE GUARD ENTERS.

 

GUARD: Party's over.

JACK: What do you mean....what do you mean the party's over?

GUARD: (To Kayla) Come on.

KAYLA: What?

JACK: Where are you taking her? You can't be dragging her around. She's a pregnant woman!

KAYLA: What? Where are you going?

JACK: What do you think....you can't be dragging her....

 

SUDDENLY STEVE WALKS IN, HOLDING UP A POLICE BADGE.

 

STEVE: Let her go. Commander Brady, Salem PD. Turn around.

 

HE GIVES THE GUY A QUICK SEARCH.

 

STEVE: Okay, I'm taking these two in. I had a call on them. I've had a lot of complaints about Bayview. Patient complaints, health violations....

JACK: Bribery!

GUARD: Alright.

STEVE: Let's go. Both of you, come on!

JACK: Thanks.

SCENE SIX: JACK AND KAYLA LEAVE WITH STEVE. THEY HEAD FOR THE CAR.

 

STEVE: Are you sure you're alright baby?

KAYLA: Yeah I'm sure. I'm just glad to get out of there. Come on Jack.

JACK: I...I can't.

STEVE: What are you talking about?

JACK: I have to keep looking for Isabella. Look, I said I'd help her. I promised. If you could lend me your car, maybe the two of you could ride back together.

STEVE: Baby, give him the keys. Come on, we've got to get you out of the cold.

KAYLA: Good luck Jack.

STEVE: Come on baby.

 

THEY WALK AWAY.

 

JACK: Thanks. I think I'm going to need it.
