INT. POLICE STATION - CONTINUOUS

CHAOS. Evan, the driver of the Trans Am, impatiently speaks to DETECTIVE SUBY, late 40s, professional with an open face that makes him a great listener.

                     EVAN
            I don't know what you want from me.
            Some crazy chick blocks the highway
            with her car, said there'd be an
            accident and there was. Big deal.
            Even a broken watch is right twice
            a day...

Officer Thomas Burke passes by, heading into --

INT. A ROOM - CONTINUOUS

Kat, Eugene, Nora, Tim, and Rory sit in a large room, waiting to give statements. Unlike Evan, these witnesses are clearly distraught.


                     KAT
            Not to sound insensitive, but how
            much longer is this going to take?
                    EUGENE
            If I don't get back to my classroom
            soon, the kids will tear the room
            apart.
                     NORA
            Those poor people. To think it
            would've been us if not for...

PAN OVER TO REVEAL KIMBERLY. She's still in shock, her mind far away. Thomas sits close to her, speaking softly.


                     THOMAS
            Tell me again how it started.
                    KIMBERLY
            Like I said, it was like I was
            there. I remember everything. The
            sounds of the crashes, the smells,
            the look on Shaina's face...
                     THOMAS
            Do you remember what triggered it
            all?
                     KIMBERLY
            The log truck...and everybody I
            guess. Everyone was driving like a
            maniac. And somehow I knew
            something horrible was going to
            happen, even before it did.

Something clicks for Thomas, but he forces himself to speak calmly, like a lawyer leading a friendly witness.


                     THOMAS
            You knew? You just mean a hunch,
            right? A bad vibe, maybe?

The other drivers stare at Kimberly.


                      KIMBERLY
             More than that. All the songs on
             the radio were about car crashes.
             Some kid's banging toy cars
             together.
                 (looking at Kat)
             She was dialing her cell phone with
             her headset on.
                 (points to Rory)
             His car was leaking oil all over
             the road.
                      RORY
             Hey, don't be knockin' the
             Chevette.

But the others listen intently now. Especially Kat, who spies her headset buried deep in her purse.


                      KIMBERLY
             Billboards about accidents. Kids
             yelling "pile up" for no reason.
             It all felt...just wrong.
             Just like...
                 (swallows; hesitates)
                      THOMAS
             Like what?

Kimberly sighs and looks down. The room becomes eerily silent, except for the FLICKER of a florescent light.


                      KIMBERLY
             I know this sounds crazy...but you
             all heard about Flight 180, right?
             The kid who got off the plane?

Thomas' eyes widen -- then a startling CRASH as Rory, le aning back in his chair, tips over. Thomas rolls his eyes as Rory grins sheepishly and picks himself up.


                      THOMAS
             You mean Alex Browning.
                      KIMBERLY
                 (looking down)
             ...My Premonition was just like
             his.
                      NORA
             What are you talking about?
                     EUGENE
                 (sarcastic)
             Oh, you must have read about that
             kid who had a dream about a plane
             crash so he got his buddies off the
             plane? Then the thing blew up just
             like in the dream?
                        NORA
             Maybe...

Eugene sees Nora and Tim are hooked and speaks in scary campfire tones.


                      EUGENE
             But this is where it starts to get
             freaky. So a month goes by,
             everything seems cool, but then the
             survivors start dying one by one.
             'Cause when your number's up, it's
             up, right? Some people said Death
             itself started coming for them,
             hunting down every last one, until
             they were all dead.

Everyone tenses up.


                      THOMAS
             Well, not quite all of them. Clear
             Rivers checked herself into a
             padded room at Stoneybrook.

Kimberly, affected, looks to Thomas for confirmation.


                      KIMBERLY
             You do believe me, don't you?

BANG! Everyone jumps as Detective Suby pounds on the door and opens it.


                      DETECTIVE SUBY
             Officer Burke? Could I see you in
             here?

INT. OBSERVATION ROOM - CONTINUOUS

The DOOR OPENS. Detective Suby enters, leading Thomas. Through a two - way mirror, they can see the others chatting anxiously.


                      DETECTIVE SUBY
             Tell me you didn't start up on that
             Flight 180 shit again.
                 (beat)
             Did you?
                        THOMAS
             Of course not. That would be
             irresponsible and unprofessional.

Detective Suby's persistent glare makes Thomas uncomfortable.


                      THOMAS
             Look, you weren't there. It was
             weird. She knew that log truck was
             gonna cause an accident, she knew.
                 (beat)
             Never mind.
                      DETECTIVE SUBY
             I thought we we re finished with
             this bullshit. This is police
             work, not the psychic Hot Line.

But Thomas isn't listening. He's glued to Kimberly's words. When Detective Suby realizes this, he stops and listens.


                      KIMBERLY
             But if I was never meant to pull
             over, then we all should have died
             in the pile up.
                      TIM
             Which means Death could be coming
             for us.

Detective Suby looks pissed o ff.


                      DETECTIVE SUBY
             Way to console the witnesses Burke.

At the same time, we watch Evan enter the other room, grab his jacket and wave goodbye to the others.


                      DETECTIVE SUBY
             You got 'em thinking Death is after
             them? Shit, they're the luckiest
             sons o' bitches on the planet. Get
             this guy Evan Shaeffer; Yesterday
             the kid wins the lotto and today
             some looney bitch b locks traffic
             and he avoids the worst pile up in
             years. I should be so damn
             unlucky.

INT. A ROOM - CONTINUOUS

Kimberly, Nora, Tim, Kat, Eugene and Rory now seem affected by what they've heard.


                      KAT
              What if it's true? What if it's
              happening all over again?

The fluorescent light above FLICKERS ominously. Nora, disturbed, stands up in a huff, grabbing Tim's arm.


                       NORA
              You're all certifiable, you know
              that? I can't believe I've been
              listening to this crap. Come on,
              Tim, let's go outside.
                       TIM
              Jeez, Mom, stop trippin'.
                       EUGENE
              Look lady, we're just yankin' your
              chain.
                       RORY
              Yeah, you're acting like we all
              just got the Diff'rent Strokes
              curse or something.

Eugene and Rory burst out laughin g. Nora shakes her head, disgusted.


                       NORA
              What's wrong with you people?

Nora pulls a reluctant Tim out of the room. As she opens the door, the others watch Detective Suby and Thomas appear from nowhere to calm her down . When the door swings shut, an awkward silence. Suddenly, the door opens again and Thomas leads Mr. Corman inside. Mr. Corman sees Kimberly and chokes back tears.


                       MR. CORMAN
              Kimberly...

The sight of her fath er crying is enough to make Kimberly's own dam burst. She rushes over to him and buries her head in his chest, sobbing.


                       MR. CORMAN
              Can I take her home?

Thomas nods.


                       DETECTIVE SUBY
              Sure, you can all go.

By now, the fluorescent light flickers out of control. When Rory, Kat and Eugene stand up, Thomas looks helpless.

                     KAT
            First I'm stuck with Jury Duty, now
            this nonsense.
                     RORY
            Yeah, I hate to love and leave ya,
            but I've been over this X-Files
            shit since the sixth season.

As Thomas watches them file out, the fluorescent light POPS. Then DARKNESS.
