What In The World! Season 3 Episode 1: What In The World Is This Place?

INT. UNKNOWN LOCATION - DAY

Daniel struggles to stand. His legs shake as he does so. He braces himself on the medical pod. Once he maintains balance, he looks around the white room containing unconscious men, women, and children in clear glass medical pods.

DANIEL

Hello! Anyone there?

Daniel takes a step and stumbles. He regains balance. He takes another step. Step after step, he gains control of his legs. He walks up to a door. Next to it is a palm-pad. Daniel tries prying the door open but can’t. He looks at the door and then at the palm-pad. He slowly and hesitantly places his hand on the palm print. The door slides open.

Daniel steps into a white hallway.

DANIEL

Hello?

Daniel walks down the hallways. Oblivious to the camera monitoring him in the ceiling corner.

Daniel turns a corner and runs into Greg.

DANIEL

Greg! You’re alive! You’re alive?

GREG

Yeah, I am.

DANIEL

What’s the last thing you remember?

GREG

We were fighting Boss and then... I got shot. A bunch of times. Next thing I know I’m waking up in some pod and... what the hell is this place?

DANIEL

I don’t know. Heaven?

GREG

How’d you die?

DANIEL

I uhhhh shot myself.

GREG

Wouldn’t that make this hell?

DANIEL

Look, we can get philosophical but right now, we need to find the others.

GREG

What makes you think they’re here?

DANIEL

Well, you’re here. The others must be too.

Joel & Tyler walk down the white halls.

TYLER

Do you think we’ll meet God? Cause if we do, I have so many questions.

JOEL

Is it why you’re so insufferable?

TYLER

I wonder what the big guy will look like. I mean, what religion got it right.

JOEL

This is not heaven.

TYLER

You don’t know that.

JOEL

Actually I do. You wanna know why, cause I don’t have a beer mug that can refill itself nor am I dating Brie Larson.

TYLER

Maybe you are right. This isn’t heaven. Cause you’re here.

JOEL

Yeah yeah. Let’s keep walking.

Daniel and Greg walk down the halls.

DANIEL

I don’t see any other doors.

Daniel and Greg turn a corner and see Joel & Tyler down the hall.

DANIEL

Joel!

JOEL

Dan?

The group meets up.

JOEL

Dude, what in the world is this place?

DANIEL

I don’t know.

GREG

Working theory now is that it’s heaven.

TYLER

Same!

Joel rolls his eyes.

JOEL

Look, we have been walking for hours and we haven’t found a door or an opening.

DANIEL

Same for us.

TYLER

Hey guys, we’re short one. Where’s Bailey?

Daniel looks somber.

JOEL

There there buddy, I’m sure she’s here somewhere.

There is a static sound.

INTERCOM VOICE

Congratulations, you have found each other. Proceed through the door on your right.

DANIEL

Who are you?

INTERCOM VOICE

Proceed through the door and all your questions will be answered.

JOEL

There’s no door.

A panel in the wall slides open revealing an elevator. They hesitantly step in. The panel closes and the elevator goes down.

JOEL

Hmmmm no elevator music.

The elevator stops and the door slides open. They step out into a large control room. The walls are covered in screens depicting vital signs and machine schematics. On another wall are video screens showing a wasteland and soldiers fighting.

GREG

Ok, this is definitely not heaven.

THE PROGRAMMER

No it is not.

The group turns around. In a wheelchair is an old man in his late 70s. He has grey hair and a long grey beard on his wrinkled face.

TYLER

God?

END.
