Little Captain asks, "Where were we, oh yes, Big Captain is in surgery...SCENE 2 CONT."

(Surgery suite at a hospital somewhere in Portland. Tubes are running out of the Captain as the surgical team tries to stabilize him.)

Nurse: Blood pressure is dropping.
Surgeon: He's lost a lot of blood. Hang another unit. I need another clamp here. Suction.
(Nurses follow the orders and attend the surgeon. Blood is flowing freely from the Captain's wounds.)
Anesthesiologist: Blood pressure is dropping...I've lost rhythm...He's crashing...
Surgeon: More suction! Get the paddles.
(Captain jumps as he is shocked)
Nurse: No reading
Surgeon: Clear. (Shocks the Captain again. The Captain's body jumps with the shock.)
Nurse: Still nothing! (The heart monitor is a flat line)
Surgeon: Clear (Shocks the Captain again. Still nothing. He manually tries to start the Captain's heart. Nothing. The surgeon takes off his mask with an air of defeat)
Surgeon:That's it people. Call time of death. (Looks at clock on wall says the time. Shakes his head. The doctor and others walk away leaving only one nurse left in the surgical unit. The nurse looks around to make sure the others have left. She hurries across the room and opens the door gesturing to the woman waiting on the other side of the surgical unit door. She hurries to the door and enters the surgical unit with the nurse.
Woman: The others are gone?
Nurse: Yes
Woman: How long has he been like this?
Nurse: Less than two minutes.
(The woman takes a syringe out of the white lab coat she is wearing. As she holds it up to the light a small amount of bright white liquid gleams in the syringe. She takes the Captain's arm and injects the contents of the syringe into it. The nurse turns on the heart monitor again glancing quickly around the unit as she does so. For a moment nothing happens then a blip, then another on the heart monitor. A steady rhythm. Machines start to sound alarms. The nurse and woman nod at each other and the woman slips out of the operating room. The nurse goes out a different door quickly finding the surgeon as he is preparing to get out of his scrubs. He and the others become aware of the alarm noises coming from the unit.)
Nurse: Doctor!! I don't know what happened but he's back!!!
(The doctor and the others rush back into the surgical unit. It's as the nurse says. The Captain is still under anesthesia but he's breathing and there is a rhythm on the heart monitor. Doctor pulls his mask back up saying,
Doctor: Damn! I don't know what's going on but, he's not ready to give up. Let's go to work people!!!
(Everyone begins to furiously work over the Captain.)                        
(The woman on the other side of the door smiles and walks away. As she does, Sgt Woo who has arrived at the hospital with his partner Franco sees her walking away. He and a few other police officers have arrived to check on the Captain. He looks confused for a moment, then shocked. She walks through a pair of swinging doors at the end of the hall that leads to the front of the hospital and the exit. Sgt Woo does nothing for a moment and looks torn. After a moment of indecision he starts walking rapidly toward the doors the woman has gone through.)

Outside the hospital:

(The woman is preparing to walk across the road to the parking lot. Sgt Woo comes out of the hospital and sees her.)
Sgt Woo: Ma'am! Excuse me, Ma'am!
(The woman stops and turns to look at Sgt Woo. She smiles.)
Sgt Woo: I'm sorry I stopped you but, do I know you? (He looks confused again.)
Woman: Drew! I would like to think you remembered me. (She continues to smile at him. Her red blond hair gleams softly in the light from the street. Sgt Woo gasps and takes a step back.)
Sgt Woo: NO. You can't be her. They told me I made you up. You're not real. (He looks at her almost accusingly. She laughs softly and shakes her head slightly. Looks jokingly at her hands holding them up as if seeing if they are real.)
Woman: Well, I remember you and you look real to me. (She looks at Sgt Woo a small smile playing on her face. Sgt Woo looks faintly sick, like he might pass out. Still in denial he says,
Sgt Woo: You can't be the same person. That woman would be old by now. It was over 30 years ago! You look the same! (We know that she is Soleil the woman he met as a little boy in the woods all those years ago.)
Soleil: I don't think I've ever been insulted for aging well before. I would think after your recent experience, the realms of what is and isn't in the world would have opened up for you. (Again Sgt Woo looks taken aback even more confused)
Sgt Woo: My recent experience??
Soleil, talking patiently as if Woo is again the lost child in the forest: Did you really think it wasn't real, the Aswang? I told you a long time ago that you were going to see unimaginable things in your life. Did you forget the story? I thought you would have seen one of the books by now as well.
(Sgt Woo takes another step back looking at Soleil in disbelief.)
Sgt Woo: It wasn't real. It wasn't.
Soleil, kindly: Well, I can see you're still not ready.(She starts to turn away.) Maybe when I come back tomorrow we can talk more, if you're up to it. (Sgt Woo stares blankly at her.)
Sgt Woo: Come back? (Soleil turns back to him.)
Soleil: Yes, I'll be back tomorrow to check on my husband. I believe you know him.
Sgt Woo: Your husband? You have a husband. (Soleil laughs.)
Soleil: Yes, your Captain. Sean Renard is my husband.(Sgt Woo seems to collect himself and replies with his usual moxie.
Sgt Woo: Of course he is.
Soleil: Goodbye until we meet again Drew. (She continues across the road where a car is waiting for her under the street lamp in the darkened parking lot. A man gets out of the front of the black Mercedes  and opens the back door for her. She gets into the car. She waves to Sgt Woo as she is driven away. Sgt Woo stands at the entrance of the hospital for a long time looking down the road Soleil drove away on, seeming unaware of all the activity going on around him.)

END SCENE:

NOTE: When I think of Soleil I think of the wonderful actress LESLIE HOPE. I never saw her on 24 but, I did see her guest appearances on The Mentalist and in one of the Jessie Stone movies. I think she epitomizes the character of Soleil.
