What In The World Season 1 Episode 6: Return of the Green Sky


EXT. PIZZA PALACE - NIGHT
Daniel, Joel, Bailey, Tyler, and Greg stand outside the destroyed Pizza Palace. The sky is green. Thunder rings out across the sky.
GREG
It fucking happened again.
JOEL
No shit dude!
GREG
The sky turned green again but this time with... green lightning. That didn't happen before.
DANIEL
Yes, it did. The first time the sky turned green.
GREG
What?
DANIEL
When this all began, when I was outside taking out the trash, I saw those bolts come out from the sky and hit people. As soon as they were hit, they just disappeared.
BAILEY
It’s true, I saw it.
TYLER
Why didn’t you tell us before?
DANIEL
I was going to, I promise. I told Joel and then I was going to tell you guys but then... shit happened.
The group stands in silence.
JOEL
Speaking of shit, we still got a problem. A group of hot, crazy ladies wants our supplies and they are willing to kill us for them.
BAILEY
They’re not that crazy. Also, you didn’t have to say hot.
JOEL
No, it was completely necessary. Also, what are you still doing here? Last time I checked, you were one of them.
BAILEY
That was before my so-called friends were willing to shoot me.
JOEL
Well, I don’t trust you. For all we know, you could be a spy who will probably kill us in our sleep.
BAILEY
I don’t trust you either. You put a gun to my head.
JOEL
Of course, I did. I was trying to get us out of there. You should be thankful that my hands don’t shake like Greg’s.
GREG
Excuse me?
JOEL
I’m pretty sure you made my nose worse. I can’t smell anything.
Greg chuckles.
GREG
If anything I made an improvement to that ugly mug.
Joel tackles him to the ground.
TYLER
Guys stop it.
JOEL & GREG
Shut up Tyler!
TYLER
Fuck you guys! I’m so sick of y’all treating me like shit!
JOEL
Well, then next time choose a better movie!
TYLER
That documentary got 94% on Rotten Tomatoes!
Joel, Tyler, and Greg lunge at each other and wrestle on the ground.
DANIEL
Guys! Stop it!
Daniel kneels down and tries to pick the three apart. Bailey looks up at the sky. In the distance, the clouds begin forming a sort of vortex. They glow bright green. The thunder grows louder.
BAILEY
Guys!
The guys are still wrestling.
BAILEY
Guys!
From the center of the green sky vortex, a beam of green energy strikes the ground. The ground shakes. The guys stop wrestling and look up at the sky. The ground where the green beam has hit begins to crack and shatter. The cracking and shattering grows and moves towards the group.
DANIEL
Run!
The group runs back towards the apartment. The shattering ground follows them. The surrounding buildings crumble around them.
A small crevice opens in front of them. The group stops.
JOEL
Now what?
TYLER
It’s getting closer!
The group looks behind them. The shattering ground approaches near.
DANIEL
We’re going to have to jump.
Daniel takes a few steps back and runs. At the edge of the crevice, he jumps. He lands on the other side. Joel, Tyler, and Greg follow suit. Bailey runs and jumps. She lands on the other side but the ground beneath her crumbles and she falls backward. Daniel grabs her arm and pulls her forward. Daniel falls back on the ground with Bailey on top of him. The two stare at each other. There is a slight hesitation. Bailey gets up and is quickly followed by Daniel.
The green beam disperses and the sky returns to normal. The ruins have become more destroyed. The group gazes upon the newly destroyed landscape.
INT. APARTMENT - NIGHT
Daniel, Bailey, Joel, Tyler, and Greg enter the apartment. Joel tosses his gun on the table. He, Tyler, and Greg sit on the couch. Daniel and Bailey stand awkwardly next to each other.
GREG
What... the actual fuck... was that?
The group says nothing.
DANIEL
I- I don’t know. But the sky is normal again. That’s... that’s a good sign. Now, I think we should all just... relax and get some sleep.
GREG
So I guess we’re just gonna ignore the fact that the apartment has a huge hole in it and that a sorority cult with an arsenal knows where we live.
DANIEL
I’ll take the first watch. As for the hole... I think it adds a nice aesthetic and the breeze at night isn’t bad either. Bailey, you can sleep in my bedroom.
BAILEY
Are you sure?
DANIEL
Yeah. The mattress is memory foam, it’ll be more comfortable than sleeping out here on the couch.
BAILEY
Thanks.
Daniel and Bailey smile at each other.
JOEL
Uhhhh, hold up. Who said she was staying with us? She could be a spy.
DANIEL
All in favor of letting Bailey stay.
Daniel, Tyler, and Greg raise their hands.
JOEL
Really guys. Daniel I get, but you two?
TYLER
She’s not like the others. She was the only one who was nice to me while I was being kept captive.
GREG
I think it’s nice to have a girl in the group. Keeps things diverse.
JOEL
Greg this isn’t Hollywood. You don’t have to try so hard to be woke.
DANIEL
She stays.
JOEL
Fine.
TYLER
So what do we do now?
DANIEL
You guys get some rest, we’ll figure it out in the morning.
Bailey enters Daniel’s room. Joel lays down on the couch.
GREG
Wake me up in 4 hours. I'll take the second watch shift.
Tyler and Greg roll out sleeping bags. They lay down to sleep. Daniel walks over to the hole in the apartment. He looks out among the landscape and then looks up at the sky as the sun sets over the horizon.
END.
