EXT. HIGHWAY - NIGHT
A two-lane mountain highway. dark and lonely.
Distant car headlights illuminate an ominous glow off a thin layer of fog creeping across the road.
A 1960's era Mustang ROARS past at a speed obscene on this stretch of highway.
INT. MUSTANG - DRIVING - NIGHT
Driving the car is LUCY ALMEIDA, 24, shoulder length black hair, cherry red lipstick, and a short white summer dress.
The stereo is BUMPIN phat hip-hop beats.
Lucy is rapping along to the radio, when her cell phone LIGHTS up. She turns down the stereo, and answers her phone.
LUCY:
(Into phone)
What's up?
ZACK: (V.O.)
Hey Lucy.
LUCY:
Hi Zack.
ZACK: (V.O.)
Are you almost here?
LUCY:
Yeah, I'm on my way, I'll be there
in like ten minutes. Did you get
the limo?
ZACK: (V.O.)
Sure did.
LUCY:
You're amazing.
ZACK: (V.O.)
I know.
LUCY:
I'll see you when I get there okay?
ZACK: (V.O.)
Okay.
(Beat)
Hey Lucy?
LUCY:
Yeah?
ZACK: (V.O)
I love you.
Lucy's face is radiant, she smiles.
LUCY:
I love you too.
ZACK: (V.O.)
Bye.
LUCY:
Bye.
Lucy hangs up her cell phone. Her smile gets bigger. She turns the radio back up. Rapping to the music, bobbing her head.
EXT. MUSTANG - DRIVING
Driving down the hillside at a fast pace, tracking her from somewhere just above the tree line.
INT. MUSTAGE - DRIVING
Something catches Lucy's eye out of the passenger side of the front window. a pale white glow just above the tree line.
LUCY:
The hell?
Her radio CUTS OUT as the station counter starts seeking channels. All static.
LUCY:
Oh, come on.
Lucy turns off the radio.
She reaches a stretch of road where the tree line clears. the light is gone.
LUCY:
Weird.
As Lucy drives back behind the tree line, the radio turns back on, volume FULL blast. STARTLING her.
LUCY:
Holy shit!
Lucy scrambles, turns the radio off. She steps on the gas, speeding up.
Her windshield wipers activate.
LUCY:
(Flabbergasted)
What the fuck, man?
Lucy turns off the windshield wipers. T
he radio BLASTS back on, deafening volume. She screams, now scared.
Lucy shuts off the radio.
She pulls over to the side of the road and gets out of the car, hyperventilating.
EXT. MUSTANG - ROAD
Dark, lonely highway. The ambient sounds of the surrounding woods.
She's trying to walk it off, taking deep breaths, pacing.
Lucy looks around. No one is here.
Suddenly all the ambience of the surrounding woods goes DEATHLY QUIET.
Lucy grabs her cell phone, dials a number.
NO SIGNAL. She's starting to crack up.
LUCY:
Come on, COME ON! Please God.
Lucy gets back into her car.
INT. MUSTANG - MOVING
Everything is normal for the moment, Lucy is starting to calm down a bit.
She comes to a stretch of road with no tree line. Lucy's looking about her. The driver's side window. something catches her eye.
Her car is HIT with a blinding beam of WHITE LIGHT. Lucy SCREAMS. The beam ENGULFS her.
FADE TO BLACK

EXT. SUBURBIA - NIGHT
Lucy's mustang pulls up to a tan-colored two-story house.
EXT. TAN HOUSE - NIGHT
A middle-aged man opens the door, hair disheveled, looks like he just woke up.
LUCY:
Hi, is Zack here?
ZACK'S DAD:
He's sleeping.
LUCY:
Sleeping? I just talked to him.
ZACK'S DAD:
I don't think so.
LUCY:
Can I come in?
(Beat.)
Please.
He lets her in.
INT. ZACK'S ROOM
It's dark. Lucy turns the light on.
ZACK:
Hey, turn the light off!
LUCY:
Zack, get up! What are you doing?
We have to go.
ZACK WEIR, 23, blonde hair, blue eyes, dressed in boxers and socks, hops out of bed. He shields his eyes from the light.
ZACK:
Go where? Lucy, what the hell?
LUCY:
The limo's gonna to be here.
ZACK:
Limo?
(Re: clock)
Lucy, that was four hours ago!
LUCY:
What are you talking about? I
talked to you on the phone not
ten minutes ago.
ZACK:
At nine! Babe it's almost one-
thirty in the morning.
Lucy looks at he clock. She's a deer in headlights, starting to cry.
LUCY:
I don't. I thought.
ZACK:
I waited for two and a half hours.
This was our one year anniversary.
I thought you wanted tonight to be
special?
LUCY:
(Crying)
I did Zack, I don't. I'm so
confused. I don't. I can't. I was
driving to come here. and I called
you. and here I am. and your
telling me its two-thirty? What
hell is going on? I don't
understand!
Zack gives Lucy a hug.
ZACK:
You know I love you.
LUCY:
(Balling)
I'm so confused. I don't know
what's going on.
ZACK:
You're not the only one. I mean,
where the hell were you the past
four hours?
LUCY:
I don't know. Zack, okay?
ZACK:
What do you mean you don't know?
LUCY:
I told you, I was driving to come
see you, I hung up the phone, and
then I was here. I don't remember
anything else. I swear I came
straight here.
ZACK:
I just don't understand how someone
can just lose four hours like that.
LUCY:
Zack, you have to believe me.
Zack is looking Lucy straight in the eye, possibly to convince himself of her. Tears are rolling down her face and she's not flinching away.
Zack wipes off one of her tears with his thumb. He leans in and gives her a soft kiss. Lucy's arms GRAPPLE around him, returns the kiss hungrily. Knocking him backwards onto the bed.
ZACK:
Lucy.
LUCY:
Don't talk.
Lucy takes off her dress and embraces Zack into her arms, Zack's arms hold her close.
FADE TO BLACK.

Lucy flutters.
LUCY:
I'm awake, I'm awake! What the hell
is it?
ZACK:
Are you okay?
LUCY:
I'm fine! Jesus, where's the fire?
ZACK:
You tell me.
LUCY:
What are you talking about?
ZACK:
Lucy, you were screaming in your
sleep.
LUCY:
I was?
ZACK:
Yes you were. scared the shit out
of me. What were you dreaming
about?
Lucy is scratching her head.
LUCY:
I honestly couldn't tell you.
ZACK:
Babe, what's going on with you?
LUCY:
Would you please STOP asking me
that?
ZACK:
Well, I'm sleeping and you start
screaming like you're being
murdered or something and you don't
even remember why?
(Beat)
Sorry for asking.
Lucy's about to get up. realizes she's naked.
LUCY:
Where's my clothes?
ZACK:
On the floor.

Lucy rolls her eyes.

Yes I remember! Would you please
fetch my underwear?
They share a smile.
EXT. LUCY'S HOME - NOON
Lucy's mustang pulls into the driveway.
INT. BATHROOM - A BIT LATER
Lucy turns the shower on and begins to get undressed. She takes off her shirt and notices a small red scab inside her belly button. She looks at it in the mirror.
Lucy picks at it and the scab starts BLEEDING. She grabs a piece of toilet paper and puts pressure on it, but it keeps bleeding.
LUCY:
Jeez.
Lucy puts more pressure on the wound and finally gets the bleeding to stop.
She finishes getting undressed and hops into the shower.
Lucy is running her hair under the hot water when her expression begins to change. She takes a couple of deep breaths, trying to burp, pounding her chest.
LUCY:
(Belches)
Man, what the hell did I -
Lucy SCRAMBLES out of the shower and RACES to the toilet. She puts a hand over her mouth - vomit SPEWS from her mouth, spraying everywhere.
She trudges over to the toilet, heaving uncontrollably, violently regurgitating GREEN LIQUID from her mouth. Long uncomfortable moments pass before she is finally done.
Shaken, Lucy collapses to the bathroom floor, crying hysterically.
INT. LUCY'S BEDROOM - LATER
Lucy is sitting up in her bed, watching TV. Zack brings her a cup of water.
LUCY:
Thanks.
ZACK:
How are you feeling?
LUCY:
Okay. I guess.
ZACK:
Well remember, doc said to stay
in bed the next couple of days.
Food poisoning takes a lot out of
your body.
LUCY:
Yeah, I guess.
ZACK:
Lucy. what is it?
LUCY:
I don't know, I just don't think
It's food poisoning.
ZACK:
Doc seemed pretty sure.
LUCY:
Yeah, but what about the four
missing hours? What about this scab
in my belly button? Or the
nightmare that I don't even
remember having. it doesn't add up.
ZACK:
Maybe we should call the police?
LUCY:
And tell them what exactly?
ZACK:
I don't know. Look, it's late. Why
don't you get some sleep and I'll
be back over here in the morning.
They exchange a kiss.
ZACK:
Goodnight.
LUCY:
I love you.
ZACK:
I love you too, babe.
Zack leaves, turning off her light and shutting the door. Lucy lies awake, listening to Zack pull away in his car.
Lucy begins to shut her eyes. there's a CREAK in the house. Lucy WAKES up. Looks around. Nothing there. She lies her head back down on the pillow and closes her eyes.
CREAK!
Lucy wakes up.
LUCY:
Fuck.
Lucy gets out of bed and turns the light on. There's nothing there.
LUCY:
GET A GRIP LUCY!
Lucy shuts the light off and gets back into bed. Eyes scanning the room. Lucy closes here eyes again.
CREAK!
Her body jumps, but she keeps her eyes closed, trying to ignore it. Lucy turns over.
CREAK!
Lucy takes a deep breath. curls up in her bed.
The SOUND of her door CREAKING OPEN.
Lucy looks up.
LUCY:
Zack?
A SHADOWY FIGURE stands in the door way. and it's NOT Zack.
INT. LUCY'S BEDROOM - NEXT MORNING
Lucy is fast asleep in her bed. Zack enters the bedroom.
ZACK:
Lucy, wake up.
Lucy stirs awake.
LUCY:
What is it?
ZACK:
Time to get up.
LUCY:
Go home Zack. it's late.
ZACK:
Late to be sleeping. It's noon.
Get up.
Lucy angrily sits up in bed, throws her pillow at Zack.
LUCY:
I just went to bed!
Zack walks over to Lucy's window and opens the drapes. A bright beam of sunlight hit's Lucy right in the FACE!
This STARTLES Lucy, she JUMPS back against the wall like a frightened cat, curling up into a ball at the corner of her bed.
ZACK:
Lucy!
Lucy is shaking like a leaf, joints white-knuckle tight, face pale with fear.
ZACK:
Lucy, what's wrong?
LUCY:
(Tears welling up)
I don't know.
Zack carefully approaches Lucy, taking a seat on the bed next to her. He puts his arm on her shoulder. Lucy EMBRACES Zack in a hug.
ZACK:
Babe, why are you shaking?
LUCY:
Just hold me, please.
Zack holds Lucy, rocking back and forth on the bed. She moves her head over, and kisses Zack on the lips. He kisses back. She puts her hands on his face, the kissing getting more intense.
Zack lies down on the bed, Lucy going with him. She's on top of him, kissing, all over him.
Zack's hands slide up her shirt. her arms grabs the bed post, he lifts her shirt up over her face, kissing her breasts. Lucy moans softly, through her shirt.
LUCY:
Kiss me.
Zack pulls her shirt off the rest of the way. Zack fondles her breasts, licking her stomach.
As Lucy starts to kiss Zack on the lips, BLOOD pours from her right nostril and rolls down the side of Zack's face.
They part form their kiss.
ZACK:
Lucy?
Blood is POURING from Lucy's nose. she wipes it with her hand, blood all over it.
Lucy FAINTS.

Lucy is lying on a metallic table. She is restrained by locking mechanisms around her ankles and wrists.
A clear tube is protruding from her bellybutton attached to a machine. There is a SUCKING noise as fluid is extracted from her stomach.
Lucy's eyes and mouth are propped open by metallic clamps from a halo-like device at the head of the table.
A clear tube is protruding from her right nostril attached to the same machine as her bellybutton. Red chunks are extracted from her nose cavity.

LUCY:

LUCY:
I'm losing my mind.
Lucy shuts the light off and climbs back into bed. She lies on her back staring at the ceiling. she closes her eyes.

She closes her eyes. taking deep breaths, trying to relax. A shadows comes over Lucy's body.
CREAK.
Lucy opens her eyes. and there leaning over her is a PALE WHITE figure with a cat like nose and LARGE onyx-black eyes.
Lucy is paralyzed. she can't scream. Her body frozen, eyes WIDE, mouth gaping open.
A BRIGHT WHITE light is beaming in from outside her window.
Two more FIGURES enter her room, grunting like dwarfs as they walk.

They are The Grays.
The Gray leaning over her removes the covers from Lucy.
The other two Gray's flank to the head and foot of the bed.

ZACK:
Lucy, you there?
Zack ties the doorknob. it's locked. He knocks on the door again
ZACK:
Lucy open up, it's Zack.
Zack knocks on the door again. No answer.
Zack checks the window. it's open, just a screen. Zack fidgets with the screen and is able to remove it. Zack climbs in through the window.

The kitchen is a MESS. Dirty dishes piled up.
ZACK:
Lucy!

Zack knocks on the door.
ZACK:
Lucy you there?
Zack checks the knob. it's not locked. He slowly turns the knob and OPENS the door.
Thick STEAM from the running shower obstructs his view at first. Zack fans the steam away with his hand.
ZACK:
Lucy?
His eyes go wide he sees LUCY, naked on the floor, legs hung over the bathtub, feet dipped in a pool of thick green slime. More of that slime oozing from her mouth like vomit.
A large ORGANIC tube-like canal is extended from her pelvis convulsing. Lucy SCREAMS in pain, like she is giving BIRTH, he bears down as SOMETHING is being forced from her body, through the large CANAL into the bathtub. she SCREAMS AGAIN.

Moments later Lucy exits the house, butt naked, carrying her Alien/Human hybrid child. A beam of light hits them. and sucks them gently up into the UFO.
The lights fade on the flying object, hovering for just a moment, before SHOOTING off into outer space.
