Scene 01

FALLS CHURCH, VIRGINIA

Monica Reyes

Thanks for the beer.

John Doggett

Thanks for the lift.

Monica Reyes

So, big plans for the weekend?

John Doggett

Oh, huge. Microwave pizza, satellite TV.

Monica Reyes

Wow. Thanks for making my life sound exciting. Maybe we both need pets. They say people with pets live longer.

John Doggett

I was thinking about getting a cat.

Monica Reyes

There's dog people, and there's cat people. You are a dog person, John.

John Doggett

How do you figure?

[ chuckles ]

Monica Reyes

You're faithful, you're dependable. You're without guile. You're very comfortable to be around. So why a cat?

John Doggett

Low maintenance. They don't expect much from you, so you can't disappoint 'em.

Monica Reyes

I don't see you ever disappointing anyone, John.

John Doggett

See you monday?

Monica Reyes

Yeah. See ya. John, John, John.

Scene 02

ER nurse

One, two and three.

Dr. Jack Preijers

Miss--

ER nurse

Reyes.

Dr. Jack Preijers

How you feeling tonight? You with us?

Scene 03

Monica Reyes

Hello? Is anybody here?

Scene 04

Stephen Murdoch

Hello. It's okay. I was a little freaked out too... At first.

Monica Reyes

Who are you?

Stephen Murdoch

Stephen murdoch. I-I don't even know if that matters anymore but my name is stephen. Did you just look outside? Yeah. Don't do that.

Monica Reyes

Where did everybody go?

Stephen Murdoch

I think the question is, "where did we go?" were you in an accident?

Monica Reyes

I think I was hit by a car on my way home.

Stephen Murdoch

I came in with chest pains. Mr. Barriero, someone new. I found mr. Barriero wandering around here, same as you. He fell at a construction site where he used to work.

Monica Reyes

You think we're dead. No. No, I don't believe that.

Val Barreiro

Have you ever been dead? So how do you know you're not?

Scene 05

John Doggett

Hell of a thing to wake up to, huh? We stopped after work. She had a beer.

Dana Scully

Well, the man who hit her had 15. Don't do this to yourself, John.

[ beeping ]

Scene 06

Dana Scully

It's true, John. She's gone.

John Doggett

I don't accept that. They've got her breathing. Her heart's still beating. There's got to be hope.

Dana Scully

There's no measurable electrical activity in her brain. Brain death is... Indeed death, John. I'm sorry.

Scene 07

Stephen Murdoch

The thing is, it's not that bad, once you get used to the idea.

Monica Reyes

Have you seen this? It's nonsense, all of it. There's not a single sign on any of the walls here. Why is that? You say we're dead. This seem like heaven to you? A big, deserted catholic hospital?

Stephen Murdoch

I didn't say this was heaven. For all I know, it's-- it's hell. I don't know anything for sure. Maybe this place is a way station; a stop on the road to what comes next. Where are you going?

Monica Reyes

I'm finding a way out.

[ electrical crackling ]

Scene 08

Dr. Jack Preijers

Jack preijers. I'm very sorry for your loss.

John Doggett

Look, you two are the experts, but there's got to be something more that can be done.

Dr. Jack Preijers

Well, I wish there were. And I don't mean to make this any harder, but I do have information you both need to hear. Your partner had a living will. She signed an organ donor card.

John Doggett

Uh-uh. No way.

Dana Scully

John--

John Doggett

Just slow down, all right? She's lying there in one piece. There's no fractures, no damage to her skull. Does that add up to you?

Dana Scully

John, at the end of the day, it doesn't matter. It doesn't change the diagnosis or her prognosis.

Dr. Jack Preijers

In these situations, time is always of the essence. There is a woman in minnesota who can be saved by your friend's heart. In a real sense, she will live on.

Scene 09

Monica Reyes

Mr. Murdoch? Mr. Barriero? You, stop!

Stephen Murdoch

Monica? Monica!

[ electrical crackling ]

Stephen Murdoch

What's happening to him?

[ screaming ]

Monica Reyes

Oh, my god.

[ screaming ]

[ steady electronic tone ]

[ sobbing ]

Scene 10

Dr. Jack Preijers

I am so very sorry for your loss.

[ sobbing ]

Scene 11

John Doggett

They're burning up the phone lines down there. Arranging with all these other hospitals how to divvy up Monica. They say they could do it as early as tomorrow. Is there anything, anything at all?

Dana Scully

I did note some minor swelling in the left anterior which is consistent with subdural hematoma.

John Doggett

Minor swelling?

Dana Scully

I-I don't know if that means anything. It's not like there's an exact formula for how much damage equals death.

John Doggett

What about this? This was monitoring her brain activity, right? Electrical impulses.

Dana Scully

Yeah. She had eeg monitoring after the point that she coded.

John Doggett

Suddenly they just stop here. Right here. And if we can learn what this is, maybe we can reverse it.

Dana Scully

Agent Doggett.

Scene 12

Stephen Murdoch

Okay, so-so this woman you saw-- she went through the wall?

Monica Reyes

I don't know. She was here, and then she disappeared.

Stephen Murdoch

Disappeared? What do you mean, like mr. Barriero did?

Monica Reyes

Different than barriero.

Stephen Murdoch

Okay, okay, let's concentrate on one unexplainable event at a time here. What the hell happened to mr. Barriero?

Monica Reyes

My opinion? I think he died. You can't die if you're already dead. Which backs up my belief that you and I are alive. I have no idea where she went.

Stephen Murdoch

Hold on. If he's dead... And we're not... Then where the hell are we?

Scene 13

John Doggett

Dr. Preijers.

Dr. Jack Preijers

I'll be there in one minute.

John Doggett

I'm wondering about this moment on my partner's eeg tape-- 8:11 p.m., when brain death apparently occurred.

Dr. Jack Preijers

You're reviewing our records?

John Doggett

Well, no offense, but yeah. I just need to know if there's some change in Monica's condition leading up to this.

Dr. Jack Preijers

Agent Doggett, if you're trying to build a malpractice case against me or this hospital--

John Doggett

I'm not. I just want the facts.

Dr. Jack Preijers

Whitney, could you pull the code notes from earlier tonight?

Nurse Whitney

Mm-hmm.

John Doggett

Look, Monica had a seat belt and an air bag protecting her through the crash. The ambulance crew said she was conscious at the scene. I just think there's something we're all missing.

Dr. Jack Preijers

Well, I don't think this will help you any but this describes what my team and I did to save your friend. You can take it, copy it, study it at your leisure.

Nurse

Dr. Preijers?

Scene 14

John Doggett

Oh, it's all right. You work here?

Audrey Pauley

Uh, I-I'm a patient aide. I deliver the flowers mostly. Are you her husband? You love her, though. She's not gone. Not her soul.

John Doggett

I wish I could talk to her. I wish I could tell her. Guess I wish a lot of things.

[ elevator bell dings ]

Scene 15

Stephen Murdoch

Come on. You're not giving up, are you? Monica.

Monica Reyes

Please. Don't run. Who are you?

Audrey Pauley

I'm audrey. I-I work at the hospital.

Monica Reyes

Audrey, I'm Monica. Stephen and I just want to get out of here. Will you show us the way out?

Audrey Pauley

I can't. I can't help you.

Stephen Murdoch

Why not?

Audrey Pauley

I came to tell you your friend... Loves you very much.

Monica Reyes

My friend? Did you talk to John? Does he know where I am?

Audrey Pauley

They all think you're dead.

Monica Reyes

Wait! Give my friend a message. Tell him he's a dog person.

Scene 16

Dr. Jack Preijers

Hey, whitney.

Nurse Whitney

Doctor, it's not my place to say, but you might want to review the code notes for tonight.

Dr. Jack Preijers

Why is that?

Nurse Whitney

Well, there was an injection you gave miss Reyes that wasn't in the notes.

Dr. Jack Preijers

I don't think so.

Nurse Whitney

In trauma bay. I saw you administer an I.v. Push. I assume it was epinephrine.

Dr. Jack Preijers

I have no memory of that. Anybody else see that?

Nurse Whitney

Just me. But it happened. My only point being if there is an investigation, that's the kind of inconsistency malpractice lawyers love to get ahold of.

Dr. Jack Preijers

Whitney, thank you so much for looking out for me.

[ muffled screams ]

Scene 17

Monica Reyes

There's cat people, and there's dog people. You are a dog person, John. You're faithful, you're dependable. You're without guile. And you're very comfortable to be around. I don't see you ever disappointing anyone, John.

[ woman screams ]

Nurse

Get me some help in here!

Scene 18

Dana Scully

What exactly are you thinking?

John Doggett

She helped work on Monica. I started asking questions about what happened in the trauma bay, and she very inconveniently drops dead.

Dana Scully

You're thinking that somebody murdered her to cover something up.

John Doggett

Well, if it were you, how would you go about it, make it look like natural causes?

Dana Scully

Well, I'd use a fast-acting barbiturate like pentobarbital. I'd use a small-bore needle to make it next to impossible to find an injection mark.

John Doggett

Next to impossible. That's why you're perfect for the job. Should probably test her blood too while you're at it, right?

Dana Scully

Agent Doggett... I'm happy to do this for you. Just don't kid yourself that this is going to somehow bring her back.

[ sighs ]

Scene 19

Audrey Pauley

Your name is John, right? She has a message for you. She says you're a dog person.

John Doggett

Wait. Where did you get that? Who said that to you?

Audrey Pauley

I told you. She's not gone.

Scene 20

Stephen Murdoch

Look, I went through every last page of that before you ever got here. It's just nonsense, just like you said. There's not a clue in it.

Monica Reyes

Maybe in itself it's a clue. This place looks pretty complete at first glance, but really it's not. There's so much missing. Words, details. It's like a set. A movie set. But like it was built by someone who couldn't quite grasp what it was they were recreating. Stephen, you okay? Stephen, talk to me.

Stephen Murdoch

[ gasping ] what's-- what's happening to me?

[ gasping ]

[ steady tone ]

Scene 21

Mrs. Murdoch

Does he feel any pain?

Dr. Jack Preijers

Absolutely none. It's just a matter of time now.

Scene 22

John Doggett

You live down here?

Audrey Pauley

The-the nuns let me stay. I-I wanted to be a nurse, only I can't do much but they let me help out.

John Doggett

This is this hospital. You made this? Why?

Audrey Pauley

I-I like to visit it. I sort of go... Inside my head.

John Doggett

You go into the model?

Audrey Pauley

I like it there. It's quiet. I used to have it all to myself but then some people showed up. Hospital patients. Your friend.

John Doggett

This is where you say you talked to her? Right inside here?

Audrey Pauley

Well... Not so much like tiny people in a-- in a model but... Inside my head? Up here, I guess. You don't believe me.

John Doggett

Audrey. You said that you saw some other people besides my friend. Other patients? Can you tell me who they are?

[ gasping ]

Scene 23

Stephen Murdoch

There's so much... I'd do... Differently.

Monica Reyes

What?

Stephen Murdoch

Life.

[ gasping ]

[ elevator bell dings ]

Scene 24

Dana Scully

I'll call you back. Monica's parents are on their way from mexico city. They're coming to say good-bye.

John Doggett

They can say "hello" instead. Nobody's shutting off her life support system. Not with what I got.

Dana Scully

What are these?

John Doggett

Patient files. Both men were declared brain dead, same as her. All three have something else in common too. Check out the attending physician.

Dana Scully

Dr. Jack preijers.

John Doggett

Yeah, he's some kind of dr. Death. He gets off on pulling the plug on his own patients. He did it last night to this guy barriero.

Dana Scully

Well, at the request of the family.

John Doggett

But what I'm saying is what if he poisoned barriero in the first place. Same as this guy steven murdoch, same as Monica. The tox screen will prove it.

Dana Scully

How did you come up with these two men's names?

John Doggett

If I tell you that, you'll think I'm crazy. But Monica's alive, same as this guy murdoch. And we got to help them both get back.

[ gasping ]

Scene 25

Monica Reyes

Steven, stay with me.

[ electrical crackling ]

Scene 27

John Doggett

Audrey, it's John Doggett. [ pounding continues ] audrey! I still need your help.

Audrey Pauley

I told you their names. Mr. Barriero and mr. Murdoch.

John Doggett

No, they're both dead now. Monica's the only one left. And inside an hour, the hospital plans to cut off her life support. Now, I'm not going to let that happen-- no matter what it takes. But I'm losing here. Nobody else believes she's alive. Nobody-- just you and me.

Audrey Pauley

I can't do anything. I only deliver the flowers is all I do. I can't help.

John Doggett

You can talk to her, right? You can. Audrey, I need you to talk to her. I need you to tell her what's going on. I need you to tell her that they're going to pull the plug. I need her to-- I need you to tell her to fight. I need you to tell her to show us some sign-- anything-- that she's in there. I need her to understand. I don't know what the hell else to do.

[ sobbing ]

[ door closes ]

Scene 29

Audrey Pauley

Monica? John wanted me to tell you something.

Monica Reyes

You gave him my message?

Audrey Pauley

He says you don't have very long. He says you have to give them some kind of sign. I know, I-I'm sorry.

Monica Reyes

Are you really going to leave me here to die?

Audrey Pauley

Uh... I can't... Do... Anything. There's-- there's something wrong... You know, up here. And I can't help anyone.

Unidentified speaker

It's--

Audrey Pauley

I deliver the flowers. It's all I do. And I have to even get help with that because I-I can't read what's on the little cards.

[ sobbing ]

Monica Reyes

You can't read?

Audrey Pauley

I see it all jumbled up.

[ sobbing ]

Monica Reyes

This is your hospital. It's you who created it. It's all you, audrey. This place is all you. And that means you can make the rules work any damn way that you want them to. You can help me escape. Audrey?

Scene 30

Dr. Jack Preijers

You know, I've always wondered what was down here. I'm being accused of things, audrey. Terrible things regarding three patients of mine. Really, it's-- it's beyond the pale.

[ sighs ]

Dr. Jack Preijers

You're not going to yell out, are you, audrey?

Scene 31

Monica Reyes

Audrey? Audrey? Audrey! Audrey, what's happening?

Audrey Pauley

You have to go. This way.

Monica Reyes

No. If I do that, I'll burn up. I'll die.

Audrey Pauley

No. Not now. But you have to hurry.

Monica Reyes

What about you?

Audrey Pauley

I know now. I know who told me to build it.

[ rumbling ]

[ door opens ]

Scene 32

Dana Scully

The transplant teams are in place.

John Doggett

They're not cutting her up.

Dana Scully

John... I'm still waiting for your argument. If you have something to convince me to convince the doctors that somehow she's alive.

Monica Reyes

John. Audrey.

[ panting ]

Scene 33

John Doggett

Where you going, doctor? Oh, god. Oh, no.

Scene 34

3 DAYS LATER

John Doggett

Good night.

Monica Reyes

Good night.
