SafeHaven Script

Here is the informal version of the script. More-so a treatment. Ready for Thursday's discussion. 27 Aug 2012.

We are located inside of a lab where they are scanning the chip making sure they are no glictches with the reader. We see. We see the chip being scanned and a big flat screen mounted on the wall which shows us information contained on the chip. The name of the person, sex, age, weight, banking information, home address, insurance information etc.

The camera cuts to a lady in a doctors chair and she is receiving from the doctor the RFID chip implant. The doctors finishes and we follow the lady outside of the office door to a long line of people  which we see continues to outside of the office building.

The screen opens on a neighborhood in evening time and moves inside of a home. In this home we see a grandmother and two kids sitting down in the living room having a Bible study. We then continue through the house, entering in the kitchen and then the outside where there is a chicken coop and a small vegetable garden right beside it. We then see the same woman from before in the distance and follow her as she enters the home, to the kitchen.

At this point, Mom is unsure about her decision to receive the chip, but feels that it is the right thing to do, since now she has fresh groceries for her family. 

Grandmother gets up from her Bible study with the two kids, and enters the kitchen the left. Upon seeing the fresh groceries on the table, Grandmother already knows that her daughter received the RFID Chip Implant and then decides to confront her about it. During the conversation, the two kids are standing in the hallway listening in on the kitchen conversation.

Grandmother completely rejects her decision to receive this chip and fears for what may happen to the family. Though they just had an argument, the family gathers for dinner.

A new day and Grandmother's face is drooping and she moves at a slower pace.

The boy is up early outside tending to the chickens as he usually does, and notices that there are no eggs.

He goes inside to report this to the grandmother in the kitchen as she is already cooking the last eggs on the stove top. The mom overhears that the hens have not laid any eggs as she is headed out of her room on her way to work. She comes out of her room, hoping today will be better than the previous evening and comes up to Grandmother and says that she can now go buy some more eggs, and maybe something else. The grandmother gets upset as she is reminded of her daughters decision and just shakes her head. When the mom leaves, the son goes back outside with the chickens and the daughter walks in and helps Grandmother prepare the meal for the day. 

Later on that evening, they are all at the dinner table and the conversation is silent. The Grandmother, daughter and son are eating home grown vegetables only while the Mom is eating a store bought honey glazed salmon with rice..The Mom's states that if one of the kids would get the chip then she would not have to work so late and she could come home early and take care of family. The grandmother in a tense tone asks the mom if she thinks the chip will solve our problems. The problems that we have since you came home with that thing. In the Mom's defense, she states that is was only  for the better, and because of it, they have much more food now. Grandmother gets upset and states that they have always had enough because Jesus has always given us what they needed.  Also, that the Mom is depending on some other source for what we have already had...and tells the mom that she may be a part of the family, but she is not a part of the house(as for me and my house we will serve the Lord Joshua 24:15) The mom gets up from the table, with rage, when she leaves the room cut to black. 

It's another new morning and one of the chickens is seriously ill, and the others look as though they might all begin to get sick. The boy reports to the grandmother that the chicken is very ill and she thinks it might be spreading. In addition, they are still no new eggs. The grandmothers appearance is now worse that before.  She is in the bed. The daughter is in the bed with her on the side by the wall. We do not see the grandmother respond to the boy's message. 

That evening, Bible study is now in the grandmothers room, and both of the children read to her from matthew 6:26-28, a passage talking about how God provides for his people. By this time all of the chickens are now ill and the hens have stopped laying eggs. 

When the mother comes homes from her new job, she walks past Grandmother's room door, however she turns around and her door shut. She peeps in and sees that she is still in her bed. In a soft tone, she lets Grandmother know that she has come home.   The grandmother responds and tells her to go outside and check on her kids. The daughter sits in a chair in the mothers room quietly.

The son is are outside with the chickens and picks up the one that is extremely ill. The son asks the mom what is going to happen if the rest of the chickens get sick like this one, and if the hens don't lay any eggs soon. The mom rubs the place on her hand where the chip is and begins to feel remorse. Mom now feels that everything that has been happening with the family may be the result of her receiving this implant.  (Grandmother getting sick, no new eggs, and sick chickens) She tell her son that she is sure that our God will provide, and that he should go inside because he should go set up for dinner.

She then takes off her work jacket and puts it near to stump next to her, she picks up the ill chicken and strokes it. There is an ax right beside her. The mom begins to tear up and cry as she begin to feel remorseful for receiving the implant.

Black screen. We hear the ax come down, and the mom wails. It is unclear to the viewer if the wail is of sadness or pain. 

The camera fades into the dining room and at the dinner table the family is gathered together. Grandmother still looks very ill seated in a rocking chair. Her body is very weak, and though her face looks tired, she shows a bit of contentment,. At the table are the other two children, and the mom is there, seated next to the grandmother. We see her the nub of her hand wrapped in gauze.
