TRAILER FOR- EPISODE: 1.02 BLANK CANVAS-
VOICE: NEXT ON RAIN…
INT. RAIN’S BEDROOM – MORNING
In RAIN’S bedroom, RAIN and BELLA are covered in paint and resemble a Jackson Pollock painting. Slowly, they look at each other and begin to smile. They burst out laughing but it fades as they see who is standing in RAIN’S door way. It’s MICHAEL with a long face. RAIN quickly turns off the radio.
MICHAEL: I need to talk to you.
RAIN: What’s wrong?
VOICE: JUST WHEN SHE THOUGHT SHE COULD START OVER…
MICHAEL: Do you remember Officer Kold? (RAIN nods). He needs to speak to you.
RAIN’S face is blank.
CUT TO:
INT. INTERROGATION ROOM – MORNING
BELLA: (VO, whispers) Do you think this is about your mom’s murder?
RAIN is sitting on a wobbly chair in front of an old wooden table in a cold, stark room. A DETECTIVE in his early thirties with black hair walks in with a couple of files as well as a note pad and sits on the other side of the table.
VOICE: LIFE THROWS IN A CURVE… OR TWO.
DETECTIVE: (opens one of the files) There are just a few things that we’d like to ask you pertaining to Jake Shepherd and Connie Mason.
RAIN: Do you think I killed my mother?
VOICE: A SECRET IS DISCOVERED…
DETECTIVE: There is something else you need to know.
RAIN looks at the table as the DETECTIVE shows her something. She begins to look increasingly more unnerved. The DETECTIVE observes her reactions closely. RAIN’S eyes start to water.
RAIN: I… I don’t believe this.
CUT TO:
INT. MICHAEL’S HAVEN RESTAURANT AND BAR – AFTERNOON
VOICE: A FAMILIAR FACE ISN’T WELCOMED…
The entrance door opens slowly. It’s MADELINE BLAKE, the woman who approached RAIN the night before RAIN’S birthday.
RAIN: (VO) What… what… are you doing here?
MADELINE: (VO) I would very much like to be your Watcher… I’ve been trained, by the ‘Slayer’s Council’.
CUT TO:
EXT. BLACK ROSE CEMETERY – NIGHT
RAIN looks nervously at group of biker vampires. She pulls out her stake. As they slowly move in on her she abruptly turns around, head down, full force trying to knock one of THE VAMPIRES over. RAIN hits a solid wall of black leather; she gasps from the impact and stumbles back but regains her balance. However, THE VAMPIRE falls backwards and struggles to get up.
RAIN: (VO) I’m a ‘chosen one’… and… you’re my Watcher?
MADELINE: (VO, softly) If you’d like me to be; that… that you do have a choice in the matter.
VOICE: AND THE MYSTERIES OF THE UNKNOWN…
MALE VAMPIRE # 2: (VO) What’s with the whole witch thing? Is this a new breed of slayers that the Initiative cooked up?
RAIN’S eyes glow white; there is a gritty, loud cracking noise coming from the statue. As it cracks, large chunks of the statue fall down toward THE VAMPIRE.
CUT TO:
INT. RAIN’S BEDROOM- NIGHT
MADELINE: (VO) Slayers don’t have telekinetic or natural Wiccan abilities.
RAIN closes her eyes trying to perform a spell. Suddenly, a flash of light is followed by a crackle and sizzle. There is a burst of flames at RAIN’S feet. Her eyes fly open and she jumps back with a sharp cry.
CUT TO:
EXT. HAVEN POLICE DEPARTMENT – MORNING
RAIN: (VO) You don’t know what I am. (Softly) Who I am.
MADELINE: (VO) You are… unique, Rain. Special.
RAIN leans against the brick wall of the police building, short of breath and strangely numb. She fights her tears, then hardens her expression, folds her arms and strides away.
CUT TO:
EXT. BLACK ROSE CEMETERY – NIGHT
RAIN: (VO) I need answers. I deserve answers.
BELLA: (VO) It’ll sort out… it’ll be ok.
RAIN is breathing heavily. Her arms are still up. She tries to move but finds herself rigid, paralyzed. Sweat pours down her face. Suddenly, her eyes roll backward into her head and she falls backward, unconscious to the ground.
VOICE: WILL SURPRISE YOU.
