Severance Season 2: The Return to MDR and Unraveling Secrets
Written on
Chapter 1: The Unexpected Return
The team at Lumon Industries is back at MDR! Although this is just my speculative script, we've been eager for new developments. Ben Stiller has hinted at their return, but how could that be? Let's dive into the details. Warning: Major spoilers from Season 1 ahead!
Scene 1
INT. LUMON INDUSTRIES — MDR OFFICE — DAY
(The office remains as sterile and monochrome as always. MARK, HELLY, IRVING, and DYLAN stand together, gazing at their desks. The tension is thick, yet there's a hint of exhilaration in the air.)
MARK (astonished) You won’t believe what I just discovered. Miss Casey… she’s actually my wife, Jemma.
HELLY (eyes wide) What? That’s amazing, Mark!
MARK (speaking rapidly, overwhelmed) They told me she was dead in the outside world. But I found a wedding photo at my sister’s house. My wife Jemma is Miss Casey! And she’s gone out there!
HELLY (shocked) They’re faking deaths? That’s outrageous.
IRVING (confused) So, Miss Casey is Jemma… and they’ve kept her imprisoned. That’s horrifying.
DYLAN (leaning casually against his desk) That’s some heavy stuff… and props to your Outie’s romantic endeavors. But guess who’s back in this lovely mess? Us.
MARK (nodding in agreement) Yeah, great job on the OTC, Dylan.
DYLAN: You owe me big time. And a tie. Milchick barged through my door and eventually cut my tie. Then he warned me I was in deep trouble but just shoved me into the home-time elevator. A moment later, I was back here this morning.
HELLY (clenching her fists, trying to remain cheerful) This is ridiculous. We were so close. What happened?
MARK (frowning) You mean, why weren’t our Innies reset? We should be… dead.
IRVING (touching his desk, perplexed) They always reset us, right?
MARK (nodding) Exactly. Something feels different this time after our uprising. Perhaps they’ve changed something with our Outies?
HELLY (looking around at Irving and Mark) Yeah. Why would your Outies even come back to work?
IRVING: I found myself painting. I think it was the testing room hallway. Then I managed to drive my Outie’s car and nearly reached Burt G’s house. He’s Burt Goodman out there.
MARK (curious) The testing room hallway? How could you possibly know what that looks like?
IRVING (confused) I’m not sure; it just felt familiar.
HELLY (shaking her head and half-crazed, having been waiting for a moment) Here’s another revelation: I’m an Eagen. My Outie’s a jerk.
(The team is momentarily stunned into silence.)
DYLAN (disgusted) An Eagen? Seriously?
HELLY (nodding) Yes. My Outie lives a privileged life while we’re trapped here. I met Jame Eagen. He’s my father!
IRVING (softly) Your father? My former self would have idolized you, Helly.
HELLY (with a forgiving smile towards Irving, then addressing the team, calmer) They had me speaking at a Lumon Gala about how great severance is, but I ended up telling the audience we’re miserable as Innies before they dragged me off and turned me back into an Outie.
MARK (thoughtfully) That’s why they keep pushing you. And you got the message out? (HELLY nods)
DYLAN (matter-of-factly) Nailed it. That’s some serious bravery. (HELLY acknowledges with a nod)
MARK (reflectively) What do we think happens to Miss Casey… Jemma when she’s not on the clock?
HELLY (frowning) Yeah, where does she go? What does she do?
DYLAN (smirking) Knowing Lumon, probably something sinister.
MARK (taking a deep breath) We have to rescue her.
(The team nods in agreement.)
HELLY (looking at each member) And why haven’t they reset us? What game are they playing?
Scene 2
FADE TO:
INT. LUMON INDUSTRIES — COFFEE ROOM — LATER
(MARK and HELLY are seated in a secluded corner, away from the surveillance. Their voices are low but charged with excitement.)
HELLY (forcing a smile) I still can’t wrap my head around it. Miss Casey is your wife! And they led you to believe she was dead?
MARK (nodding, emotional) Yes. My Outie thought she died in a car accident. But somehow, she’s here now.
HELLY (smile fading slightly) I’m genuinely happy for you, Mark. This is extraordinary.
MARK (noticing her demeanor) Helly, are you alright?
HELLY (sighing, looking down) Yeah, it’s just… I felt a bond. And now… I’m not sure. It’s awkward.
MARK (taking her hand gently) Helly, I need to confess something. I… I developed feelings for you. But now that Jemma is alive, I must honor my marriage. Perhaps I need to find a way to merge my two selves.
HELLY (tearing up) I get it, Mark. I really do. I… I’m sorry about the kiss. I had no idea…
MARK (squeezing her hand) Don’t apologize, Helly. I’m not. It meant something to me as well. It still means something. I’m still Innie Mark, remember? But we need to determine our next steps.
HELLY (nodding, tears falling, as MARK embraces her) Thank you.
MARK (smiling through his own tears) Whatever challenges Lumon throws our way, we’ll face them together.
(HELLY turns to leave, but MARK grabs her hand and pulls her back, leaning in for a lingering kiss.)
MARK Sorry. I wouldn’t have been able to forgive myself.
HELLY (smiling through her tears) You clumsy boss. (And she kisses him back.) I wouldn’t have forgiven you either.
