“Astrid & Lilly Save the World” Season 2 Idea: Brutus Makes a Deal With the Devil
Brutus turns away and mutters to himself while swiping his finger through the air trying to remember the correct combination of movements.
(whispers)
While this is happening, Christine looks at the box on the counter, picks it up, and lifts a tiny latch in the front and opens the box. Brutus realizes she has opened it, grabs it, and presents it to her.
Christine looks at the bracelet in awe and reaches her hand toward it. Brutus quickly slaps her hand.
(shaking her hand)
Brutus picks up the book “Humans for Dummies” and shows it to Christine.
The two of them smile at each other and Christine picks up the open box examining the bracelet. The camera slowly zooms to her face as a smirk starts to appear.
A bolt of lightning flashes across the screen as we transition to the next shot.
EXT. MEDICAL FACILITY
It’s raining and lightning strikes in the dark sky. Crane shot starts above the building and slowly lowers down. Another lightning strike flashes, illuminating the sign for the facility indicating that it’s the local morgue. Camera continues to lower and goes into steadicam near the double door entrance and we see a male mortician coming out of it. We only see the lower part of his legs as the camera is near the ground. He opens the door and says goodbye to his colleague.
By the mortician saying this, it establishes that this morgue scene takes place after the deadly events of the prom.
As he leaves, the camera enters through the doors, still near the ground. The camera heads down a poorly lit hallway with ceiling lights that flicker. The camera then turns into a room and slowly rises up to show a body on the table. The body is completely covered with a sheet, but the camera passes an exposed arm that is hanging off the table.
We see that the hand is wearing the Kokua Bracelet. The bracelet shines and glows briefly. The glow then travels up the arm and throughout the body underneath the sheet. The camera rises up once more for an overhead shot of the body. Suddenly, the body quickly sits upright, the sheet on the upper half falling down to the waist. Christine’s eyes are wide open as she takes a big gasp of air. She’s alive.
