Emma looks at Tim with worry in her eyes…
Suddenly, alarms start to blare.
They are separated in the confusion.
Emma
Tim?? I can’t find you.
Emma
These alarms are SO loud.
Emma
And there are guards everywhere…
Emma
I’m just trying to find a place to hide.
Emma
Update: I’m in a supply closet. Please let me know that you’re okay.
Emma
I think it was his body, Tim. I really think it was.
Emma
But why?? What were all those cables for, those wires?
Emma
These alarms keep getting louder. Even in this closet I can barely think.
Tim
Can you drop a pin? There’s so many doors.
Emma
Are you just walking around out there? There are guards everywhere!
Emma
Tim, how did they even know we were here??
Emma
OMG, TIM!!! Were those gunshots?
Emma
Those were definitely gunshots.
Emma
Tim?? You’re scaring me. Please respond.
Emma
I’m panicking. What if they shot you?
Emma
I need to get out of this closet before they find me but I feel paralyzed. I’m so scared.
Emma
If you’re dead I’ll never forgive myself.
Emma
I dragged you here. I made you take me down there. I made you help me.
Emma
It’s bad enough that Jake died for…this. This app. And now you, too?
Tim
Look, don’t worry about me. Seriously, don’t.
Emma
What the hell is going on?
Tim
To keep an eye on you.
Tim
To monitor your conversations with Jake.
Tim
To see how the beta was working. To see what Jake would say.
Emma
You were hired to SPY on me??!
Emma
What the hell, Tim?!
Emma
The entire time you knew. You knew you were helping…a murderer?
Tim
I don’t know what that’s about. I swear.
Tim
It was just to keep an eye on things. That’s all he asked.
Emma
And everything else?
Emma
Our date, or whatever that was — was fake?
Tim
It was supposed to be.
Tim
But once I got to know you…it became real.
Tim
It’s true. I do have feelings for you, Emma. Real feelings.
Tim
And I’m sure you hate me right now.
Tim
But I’m done with the lies. I’m done with Q. All that matters is that I get you out of here safe.
Tim
So please, just listen to me.
Tim
I’m going to distract the guards. Just hide for a few more minutes and I’ll give you a signal.
Emma
And then what, Tim? Q will be waiting outside to capture me, and kill me too?
Emma
Use me in some sort of…sick experiment?
Tim
I swear, I’m going to get you out of here alive. No matter what.
INCOMING MESSAGE FROM REZUREKT -- ___USER:__JAKE___SCHIPP
Emma
Jake, now’s not a good time.
Jake
I did a quick search of the payroll — Q has been paying Tim out of his own account.
Emma
Please don’t say I told you so.
Jake
If this guy’s coming clean, chances are he’s telling the truth about getting you out of there.
Jake
And right now that’s all that matters.
Emma
So now you want me to trust Tim. After everything he just said?
Jake
If it means you get out of there alive…yes.
Emma
I don’t know what to do.
Emma
I keep hearing footsteps. Boots. Shouting. They’re everywhere.
Emma
Jake, why is Q doing this?
Emma
Why did he kill you? Why does he…have your body?
Jake
I have some ideas, but we can’t talk about that now.
Jake
I’m sending you a pin. It’s a service exit, they won’t expect you there.
Jake
I’m going to be sending it to Tim, too. So he can draw the guards’ attention away from there.
Jake
When he gives you the signal, you run for that door, and you don’t look back. Got it?
Emma
Wait, now you’re talking to Tim?!
Jake
Anything I’ve gotta do to get you out.
Emma
Everything just got quiet.
Jake
Manual override. It wasn’t easy, but—
Jake
Tim’s drawing them away.
Emma
Jake, I don’t understand—
Emma runs from the building. She doesn’t look back. She doesn’t stop until she reaches her car.
She drives for miles, and pulls into a dark, empty parking lot.
She calls 911 and reports a crime at Rezurekt HQ.
Emma
Jake, I think things are about to get bad.
Jake
I can’t find you on the map. Did you turn off location services?
Emma
I love you Jake. I always have. From the moment I met you. And I always will.
Jake
Emma, what’s going on-
And throws her phone to the ground, SMASHING it to pieces.
