BRAIN HARVEST (7)
Red Tangent
Int: New Orleans Police Department-Vice Operations-9 a.m.
Lieutenant Hobart and Agent Paul Davis recently assigned to investigate string of observations from various locations in the Garden District (uptown New Orleans).
Lieutenant Hobart
"When I cross referenced these locations, I couldn't come up with any new leads other than the Ginger Smith girl Hyatt had regressed yesterday...this is at best, just sketchy locations, no time line..."
Agent Davis
"Whole Foods has a shitload of surveillance footage, but they're going to bitch if we aren't specific?"
Hobart
"There was one piece, maybe two...a baby blue Jeep with Tulane Medical School decals, and this over grown track with a Starbucks and a Time Saver near by, whatta you think?
Davis
"Uptown area, let's visit every Time Saver that's around and see if anything fits...personally this could be an isolated incident, if it's not a one time affair, then somehow we'd have to tie this in to a sequence of events we don't even know even happened, not yet anyway...all you can do is wait for someone else to come forth, maybe open this up to the media...investigative reporters find more leads than we do percentage wise!"
Hobart
"Yea, why is that?"
Davis
"It's simple, they aren't cops, they've got connections that speak when the tips are needed, with a little something for their pockets, underground sources, and quite frankly, they have all the time in the world!

(Scene Switch)
Int: Tulane Medical School-Professor Melissa Dunbar's Neurology Class-11 a.m.
Professor Dunbar
"...And as we have learned that Peptides have an enormous range of functions, almost 50 something types, they are short chained amino acids, grouped together like a family with their instructions that are coded through the mRNA contained in the Neuron's, most are produced by the Axon terminal in some, but most are assembled on the cell's ribosomes, packaged in a membrane by the Golgi bodies..."
(Scene Switch)
Brian To Sydney (pointing to a girl in class)
" Think you have a hottie looking at you, she wants you bad man, she wants her way with you?"
Sydney
"Why me, why do I attract all the strays, I've never said shit to her, who is she, what does she want?
Brian
"Who cares, a little wild fling would do you some good...maybe it's not that at all, maybe she just wants to read through your liner notes, touch and caress your cheat sheets, your 3D brain calender, all chicks like that!"
Professor Dunbar
"Hey you two, let me warn you...the word is out...you have been officially tagged class interrupters...off the campus you will go, if I hear one more peep, you hear?"
Brian
"Yes Mam, sorry to interrupt!"
Sydney
"Hey, wonderful dress you have on today?"
Professor Dunbar
"Thank you, now as I was saying...peptides can serve as growth homones, mother/ bonding as oxytocin, glucogen for learning, vasopressen for eating, beta-endorphines for pain...and I'll see you all this Thursday, be careful"
Bell rings
Everyone runs out
Brian and Sydney go out to Tulane parking garge
Brian
"Can't get this shit out of my mind, feel like I'm in a gang now...just following my thoughts around wherever I go!
Sydney
"It is kind of like that...I kinda know what being in a gang must be like now...shit, at least technically!"
Brian
"We are, we are in a gang, like a fucking syndicate, just cleverly disguised as a fancy abduction farming operation...nobody would know?"
Sydney
"Or believe us, it's all clever, very clever...we could even start bringing those teachers that dis us to the stables for a little chemical release, might do 'em some good?"
Brian
"And then what, be in a piss mood, kick us out of class for a bad experience on date night, and all we'd end with is a lot of crummy grades..."
Sydney
"Your probably right, Dunbar probably doesn't have any Serotonin anyway."
Brian
"Professor's are real sticklers when it comes to being abducted anyway...messes with their image too much!"
(Scene Switch)
Int: King Wing's Central Laboratory-New Orleans East
Tyrone and King Wing discuss techniques for expanding product line and improving operations.
King Wing
"It's important that we change up the product line every so often...don't need to be leaving behind anything routine or boring...new and improved is always welcomed, keeps things from being figured out, changing patterns of delivery keeps things fresh, keeps them guessing and wondering what could be coming off the product line next?"
Tyrone
"If you have some different processes, all I'm doing is them vials and the wafer things...what do you have planned?"
King Wing
"We can talk shop later, that's not why I asked you to come out here today...anyway, that's where "my" business is going, but apparently not yours?"
Tyrone
"So, I don't get it...what's up?"
King Wing
"Word is you sold some body parts yesterday morning, now didn't you?"
Tyrone fidgeting
"Well, it wasn't planned if that's what you think...had an abduction go south on me, couldn't revive the sucker, just did what I had to do man!"
King Wing
"Then you were planning a cut for your King Wing?"
Tyrone
"Look, I never went through these people before, new contact, techs from Cabrini doing the "pick a part" thing for cats in Indian distribution...I haven't even gotten paid yet, did't think you wanna be bothered with my fuck ups anyway...it was just an accident!"
King Wing
"Because I want my cut when it does come through, you see...I wouldn't want you to have a sudden accident yourself if somehow King Wing was left by the wayside...forgotten...now we wouldn't want that now do we?"
Tyrone
"No sir, Tyrone hear them words clear as day!"
King Wing
"Now, that's good Tyrone...that what King Wing like to hear..."
(Scene Switch)
Brian
"I've got to get some gas, running on fumes on this thing!"
Pulling into Time Saver gas pumps, starts filling tank with incessant music jingle playing through p.a.
Speaker
Time time, save time...time time saver com 'on!
You ever be out needing something to eat, cause you've been out partying all night?
Your stomach pleading, that it be needing, just a little bit somethin to bite?
Time time save time, time time saver come on!
Sydney coming up to Jeep with a couple of beers
"Who writes that shit anyway?"
Brian
"Corporate stoner's, those that definitely couldn't pass Neurology...hey wonder what Tyrone's up to, I'm going to hit this pay phone over here!"
Sydney
"I'm hitting the ice cream girl...for a cone that is, be back!"
Leaving truck unattended, a New Orleans squad unit pulls in next to Brian's Jeep.
Officer notices baby blue Jeep with Tulane Medical School on back.
Decides to call in tag.
Officer
"Ah, Unit 220 to Dispatch, 10-4?"
Dispatch
"Go head 220, Dispatch to you, 10-4?
Officer
"Yes, I'd like you to run a tag on a matched All Points issued this morning on a baby blue Jeep, license plate 416 292 Louisiana, 10-4?"
Dispatcher
"Okay 220, DMV comes back registered to a Brian Epstein, 337 Broadway, Apartment 7, New Orleans 10-4?"
Officer
"Should I impound or just reference, occupant not in area 10-4?"
Dispatcher
"It was a new case, but it has just been assigned to vice and is listed as non-specific...you can try contacting Lieutenant Hebert for specifics, at current just take note of time and location, dispatch 10-6."
Syndey comes out door of ice cream shop with his double dip cone, sees officer getting back in patrol car, also see's Brian hiding over on side wall, officer takes off, Sydney approaches Brian.
Sydney
"So, what did officer dribble want?"
Brian
"I don't know, but he seemed awfully interested in my truck, took down my tags, was looking at my stickers, then he got on the radio...looked like he was running my tags or something?"
Sydney
"Could be something, but what?"
Brian
"Like it might be time to do a trade in or a swap on another car?"
Sydney
"Don't go trading in your Jeep over an assumption, maybe it was just a random snoop, maybe he's in the market for a Jeep...your becoming...what am I saying, we're all becoming paranoid over this abduction shit!"
Brian
"I'm a bit telepathic...perceptive to imbalances, always have been, saved my ass many times...my extra sensory perception shit has the hair on my arms standing up!"
Sydney
"Maybe it was something you ate, maybe you got hold of some bad meat, moldy lettuce...those tacos we had this morning were kind of borderline?"
Brian
"Talk about your stretch of tangents...would you like to know if I took a shit this morning, too?"
Sydney
"Would you tell me the truth if I "did" ask?"
Brian
"All I know is that my emotions are telling me that something's up, somebody talked, info got passed, and we are being singled out...you don't need to say anything else okay?"
Sydney
"So, what are you going to do?"
(Scene Switch)

Sydney
"Your a trip...just drop twelve-hundred dollars on a paint job based on an assumption, based on hair twitching on arm...that's crazy man!
Brian
"I've always went with my gut, it hasn't let me down yet!"
Sydney
"Well, I will say this much..."
Brian
"What?"
Sydney
"The truck looks boss in red, now all you'll have to worry about is all those speeding tickets your going to start getting...cops Love to pull over red things..."
Brian
"Guess I need to start watching my speed a little more?"
(Scene Switch)

Brian
"Hey man, is everything good...wanted to see if you needed another guest for tonight?"

Brian
"So I guess they're all tapped out, just a little joke there...anyway I thought we'd check out the lakefront, one of them seafood places up by the boathouses?"
Tyrone
"That's good man, mix it up a bit, repeats draw attention, I like that your thinking!"
Brian
"Yea, it's good to think, hey man are you okay, you sound your a little down on something?"
Tyrone
"No man, just got chewed out by my boss man, all this shit over the "pick a part" deal!"
Brian
"I don't see what he could be mad about, you took care of things, what's his beef?"
Tyrone
"That's just it, he want a slice for himself, a big slice, too!"
Brian
"Doesn't seem right, how did he even find out?"
Tyrone
"That's the thing...who's sharing shit with who...it's fucking with my head man, my head don't need any more fucking with right now, you get me?"
Brian
"Yea, well everybody getting crazy...saw a cop looking at my Jeep...anyway, things felt funny... so I did some new paint on the truck, just to make myself feel better..."
Tyrone
"Damn dude, you not taking any chances are you?"
Brian
"Just got this twitchy sign to mix it up."
Tyrone
"What kind of sign is that?"
Brian
Caught my hair standing up on my arm, so I do a little game change, just to be sure, make that hair go down, stop twitching...see you at 10:30...later!"
