TRIACS (28)




Tips And Tricks




Exterior P.M.
Limo pulls over at third and Santa Monica Boulevard at Jennifer's request. She gives driver card, who slides it for $75. 


Jennifer

"Now slide it again for another seventy-five..."


Driver

"For a tip?"


Jennifer

"No, for wear and tear!"
(She hands him a c-note from her still damp purse.)
"Here...this is for you, you take care Hon!"


Driver 

"Thank you nice Miss Jennifer...I will miss you!"


Jennifer

"Well, I got your card, never know when I might come a callin, take care..."


Police helicopter at high altitude catching all their movement,

Air Service

Air Service three to dispatch, ten-four?"


Dispatch

"Go ahead three, ten-four?"


Air Service

"Looks to be female matching the description of one Jennifer Connors, heading north on Third St."


H.P. Unit 25 (breaking in)

H.P. Unit 25 to dispatch, ten-four!"


Dispatch

"Go ahead 25..."


H.P. Unit 25

Ah, I have Mile marker 6 on I-10, westbound...officer is down with severe trauma...considered deceased, ten-four?


Dispatch

"Sending wagons now, please 10-6 your location until back-up arrives, 10-4 25?"


Unit 25


"That affirmative Unit 25 ten-six!"


(Scene Switch)



Jennifer goes up to the entrance to the foyer where one of her old Slave clients lives and pushes his doorbell. 


Jerry ( the old client, looking through monitor from camera)

"Is that you Mistress?"


Jennifer

"It be me, back in the big city, mind if I come up?"


Jerry

"Well, I don't have any cash on me!"


Jennifer

"Trade you some discipline for a place to hang?"


Jerry (buzzes her in)

"Sure, come on up!"


She goes to the 12th floor where Jerry is already waiting by the elevator door like some lost and lonely dog waiting for his owner. They walk over to his condo and shut door.


Jerry

"The place is a mess, so what's the pleasure of your visit, quite unannounced?"


Jennifer

"Well, it's a little complicated, but it has everything to do (pulling Triac out of cleavage) with this!


Jerry starts laughing

"Does it play music, get hold of some bad tunes there...you know, Norwegian Om-pah sounds a lot like Mexican Rockabilly, can't tell em apart I tell you!"


Jennifer

"Stop it Jerry, it's called a Triac, it vibrates gun powder causing it to explode within range of it's signal!"


Jerry

"Your kidding me right...you mean like bullets...still "in" the gun?"


Jennifer

"Yea, a lot of people have already met Jesus in the wrong way on this one...now look...I just need a place to hang for a few days, they already raided my condo, and the Feds are hanging all over me, they want me and my..."


Jerry

"I'm sure they would like to have their little Triac back, too!"


Jennifer

"Exactly...just need to chill, get my bearings, and try to contact my Korean Love Slave."


Jerry

"Love Slave?"


Jennifer

"Yea, the buyer, he's the only one I know of that has the kind of coin I want for this thing!"


Jerry

Korean Love Slave sounds like a euphemism for a really bad foreign porn, who is the connection here...business is business...hey you want something to eat, I'll whip you up something?"


Jennifer

"Yea, I am kind of empty, feel like I've been running on adrenaline for the last day...this morning was so crazy, I'm so stressed out that I'm really right there...on the edge, just about ready to lose it, but..."


Jerry

"No girl,  you need to go take a shower and wash off whatever that is on your dress."


Jennifer

"Yea, it's blood, blew up an Officer this morning, purely self-defense...he thought he try his luck at taking me in..."


Jerry

"Apparently not too successful!"


Jennifer

"His hand cuffs lay empty!"


Jerry

"I can't even imagine you in hand huffs..."


Jennifer

"I almost became a switch...oh God no, anything but that!"

Jerry

"Look, go take your shower, I'll make you some breakfast, okay?"


Jennifer (tearing up)

"Thanks Jerry...no really, thanks!"


(Scene Switch)


FBI CENTRAL OFFICE


FBI Agent Ellison and Lieutenant Crum are trying to figure out next move.


Ellison

"Well, we've got the area she went into, but nothing conclusive...and with all the people she knows in that area, the world is her Oyster!"


Crum

"Something just doesn't fit, with the way this device managed to get into so many hands."


Ellison

"You've got the same suspicions that I've got, always had them, but now everything is starting to come up to the surface...like what was the deal with the Private, the vanishing General, prostitutes, the Doctor & his wife...where's the tie in with Jennifer?"


Crum (getting on computer)

"Let's Google into stats and records starting with good old USC, old U of Southern California...say the past 5 years in student enrollment for one Jennifer Connors...this is purely a hunch you understand?"


Ellison

"Why of course, this is complete silliness at best, but then there would be motive, especially if it's exclusive to say a patent, an idea, something he's not allowed to discuss openly but still wants to show it off...pure brilliance if it's what I think?


Crum

Wow...Bingo, It show Jennifer took several semesters in Quantum Physics in the good Doctor's classroom, looks like they had more than just a classroom affiliation!"


Ellison

"Okay...has devious business model written all over it!"


Crum

"Why don't we pay the Doctor a good visit and get his angle to things?"


Ellison

Maybe stay for tea...let's go grab some lunch, since the Sheriff's department is having no luck at tracking her down, we might as well go and try to make ourselves look productive anyway!"


Crum

"I hear you, let's go chat and visit...like socialize man!"



(Scene Switch)


Jennifer coming out of shower, walking up to front window, she looks down seeing Sheriff patrols walking about looking around!"
"Boy, if this doesn't suck, them pigs probably been following me in the air, I don't think that Limo driver would have ratted on me."


Jerry

"For what, your location, the device, you've hurt people, what did you think they were going to do...oh they want you bad, real bad girl...bank on it, just be real with yourself, what's up?"


Jennifer

"Jerry...what you don't know about all of this is probably better than me just making something up...out of site, out of mind, okay?"


Jerry

"Yea, well you always were the pride of the international underground...guess you didn't get that way be Pauly Pure Bread."


Jennifer

"Isn't that that wacky Secretary that would follow that flying dog around?"


Jerry

"There's no need to fear...


Jennifer

"Underdog is here...oh God, I think I'm getting a headache!"


Jerry

"Well here I made you a nice breakfast burrito and a real thick vanilla milk shake...just like the old days...so you might as well settle in, looks like your not going anywhere for a while!"


Jennifer

"Just great, I've always wanted to know what it was like being a kept woman!


(Scene Switch)


An hour later, Ellison and Crum show up at Doctor Broach's house, Ms's Broach answers.

"Hello, afternoon...may I help you?"


Both showing badges


Ellison

Yes Mam, this is Agent Crum and I'm Agent Ellison FBI Central Los Angeles, we were wondering if we could speak to your husband Doctor Broach I presume?"


Ms. Broach

"Well, he's at the university now, but if you run over to the Siemens Science Lab you can probably still catch him...it's his pride and joy you know."


Ellison

"Well Mam, if you don't mind (holding up picture of Jennifer)...do you recognize this person?"


Ms. Broach starts trembling, her hands to her face

"Is she...is she in any trouble?


Ellison

"Do you know her Mam?


Ms. Broach

Why yes...that's my daughter!"


(Everybody Silent)

Ms. Broach continues

"I haven't seen her in years...she just jumped up one day, up'ed and vanished...for Heaven's sake I just couldn't get her to settle down, find a good man, maybe have some babies...I tried, I really tried (crying), my other sibling was still born, and Jen just went bad after my first husband John Connors had a stroke and died, and I..."


Lieutenant Crum 

"We understand Mama, this is just an investigation, nobody's being implemented here."


Ms. Broach

"Well anyway, then I met Mister Broach and we ended up getting married."


Ellison

"Does the Doctor have a good relationship with your Jennifer?"


Ms. Broach

"Well, that I really can't say...they go off together once in a while for doing signings and pitching ideas, things like that...otherwise they don't hang out at the house or anything...she doesn't speak to me at all...oh well, I'm past being sad now, what's the point?"


Ellison

"These pitches, who are they to, what is he pitching?"


Ms. Broach

"Well...projects, crazy ideas he thinks up, and I think he likes to take Jennifer, she ah kind of goes as "eye candy", she has I must admit, turned out to be a most attractive woman."


Ellison

"Well, that will be all Mam, we really thank you for your time!"


Ms. Broach

""Oh, that's quite all right, I hope I was of some help?"


Ellison

"More than you know Mam..."


Ms. Broach

"And if you see Jen, tell her I miss her, and that I send my Love?"


Ellison

"No problem Mam...will do, have a nice day and thanks again!"



Walking back to staff car


Ellison

"Isn't that something?"


Crum

"What...biting off more than you can chew?"


Ellison

Funny boy, very funny...it happened soldier, you see that's why they update my pay grade each and every cycle, but I must admit something between you and me?"


Crum

"What?"


Ellison

"Who would have seen that coming...no really, just cracks me up sometimes how cases just gel when they are looking so damn hopeless!"


Crum

"So, it "was" funny how this fell into place?"


Ellison

"When you've been with the agency as long as I have, you come to a very obvious conclusion?"


Crum

"What's that?"


Ellison

"You just can't write this stuff!"


Crum

"I've heard all that before...hey you wanna get a beer?"


Ellison

"Are you going to be funny?"


Crum

"Well...sure!"


Ellison

"Cause I don't want to drink a beer with you unless your going to be funny?"


Crum

"Ellison, shut-up, I'll have you cracking up on the floor at mid-way!"


Ellison

"Tears in my eyes laughing?"


Crum

Crap man, we'll both have tears in our eyes...oh yea!"


Ellison

"If it's that good, we may not even need a beer for this...but I'm not taking any chances!"


Crum

"Why's that, you don't trust me to pull off the comedy?"


Ellison

"Doesn't matter...beer first, then funny!


Crum

"Gotcha chief...hang on for dear life now."


Ellison

"Are we having fun now..."


Crum

"Beer first then..."


Ellison

"Periods of random silliness..."


Crum

"Close enough..."
