Jennifer Davis

Jennifer

I COULDN’T PROTECT THEM...

(We see the ghost of her husband standing in the doorway of the bathroom)

MARK

Protect us? We didn’t even know we needed protection.

JENNIFER

If I had been there, I could have saved you and the girls.

MARK

But Jenny. You WERE there. None of this is real. I am not real. WAKE UP.

(Jennifer then falls the floor, bringing her knees to her chest and rocking back and forth.

Jennifer

NO! YOU’RE NOT REAL! THIS IS NOT REAL!

Agent Dan

AGENT DAN

I am so sorry for your loss Mrs. 
Davis. My name is Agent Dan Pruitt. I 
have been assigned to your case. Would 
you be able to answer a few questions 
tonight?

Jennifer nods.

AGENT DAN

I would just like to get a little 
background on your family and create a 
timeline of today, while it's still 
fresh in your mind. What time did you 
arrive home?

Nurse

Nurse

Jen, are you okay? What happened?

Jennifer

Oh, I’m fine. One of my psychiatric patients cut themselves on some glass and I think some of their blood got on me.

Nurse

Well just be careful, those people on your wing are lunatics, and you're our most requested doctor. Our psychiatric wing would crumble without you. Go home and relax you have worked 3 doubles back-to-back.

Mark Davis

MARK

Protect us? We didn’t even know we needed protection.

JENNIFER

If I had been there, I could have saved you and the girls.

MARK

But Jenny. You WERE there. None of this is real. I am not real. WAKE UP.

Female Detective

(We see Agent Dan sitting at his desk typing on his computer. Another detective walks up to him and throws a folder on his desk)

Female Detective

Did you just have “Jennifer Davis” in here a few hours ago?

Agent Dan

Yeah why?

Female Detective

You might want to take a look at this.

Dr. Prentis

Doctor Prentis

Hello Jennifer, I am Dr. Mandy Prentis. I am a Psychiatric Doctor, do you know where you are currently?

Jennifer

(Shaking and rocking back and forth)

This isn’t real. This isn’t real. No! No! No!

Doctor Prentis

Jen, do you know what day it is?

Jennifer

(as Jen speaks, she is trembling and panicked)

It's Tuesday, March 27th, I am in a Psychiatric hospital, but why? Why am I here? This isn’t real. This isn’t real.

Doctor Prentis

(She leans in closer and opens her notebook)

Jennifer, what isn’t real?

Jennifer

(She answers almost whispering)

I didn’t kill anyone. I didn’t do this. This isn’t real.

Doctor Prentis

Jennifer this is real, it may be hard to come to terms with things...
