RADIO STATION 11:11 SEASON 2, EPISODE 10 “THE NIGHT WE MET” [INTRO - DISTANT RADIO STATIC, LOW PIANO, SLOW HEARTBEAT] [Clock ticking] 11… 10… 9… [The ticking suddenly stops.] [Silence] DJ: Where are we? WOMAN: You know where we are. DJ: No. WOMAN: You just don’t remember. [Soft electrical hum] DJ: The station. WOMAN: Before the station. DJ: That’s impossible. WOMAN: We’ve established that word doesn’t work here. [Door creaks open] CHILD: You’re late. DJ: Who are you? CHILD: You already know. DJ: I’ve heard your voice. CHILD: You’ve heard it your whole life. DJ: But I’ve never seen you. CHILD: Not like this. ──────────────────── [VERSE 1 - FEMALE LEAD] I woke beneath a ceiling That wasn’t built yet A room full of photographs Of things I can’t forget There was a clock with no hands A telephone with no line And somewhere in the walls I heard your voice say mine You weren’t supposed to find me You weren’t supposed to know But every road I disappeared from Still somehow led me home ──────────────────── [VERSE 2 - DJ] I spent my whole life chasing A voice behind the noise A photograph of someone I never had the choice I thought the station called me I thought the signal knew my name But standing here beside you Makes everything change Because I’ve seen you before In places I never stood And somehow every memory Says I always knew I would ──────────────────── [PRE-CHORUS - DUET] WOMAN: Maybe we were always here… DJ: Before we ever met… WOMAN: Maybe time is just a circle… DJ: We haven’t reached the ending yet… BOTH: And somewhere in the silence A radio comes alive… ──────────────────── [CHORUS - DUET, EPIC] We were here before the moment Before the first hello Before the hands that reached for each other Before we even knew We were written in the static We were hiding in the sound Every road that led us forward Was already turning ’round If this is the night we met Why do I remember you? If this is where it started Why does it feel like something’s ending too? ──────────────────── [INSTRUMENTAL BREAK - ORCHESTRAL STRINGS + SYNTH PULSE] [Radio static grows] VOICE: 11:11. [Everything stops.] DJ: Who said that? WOMAN: Don’t answer. DJ: Why? WOMAN: Because that’s how it started. DJ: What started? WOMAN: Us. [Pause] CHILD: No. [They turn.] CHILD: That’s not how it started. DJ: Then how did it start? CHILD: You haven’t remembered that part yet. ──────────────────── [BRIDGE - QUIET, INTIMATE] DJ: I’ve been looking for you. WOMAN: I know. DJ: For years. WOMAN: I know. DJ: Every photograph. Every call. Every song. WOMAN: I know. DJ: Then tell me the truth. [Long silence] DJ: Have we met before? WOMAN: Yes. DJ: When? WOMAN: Tomorrow. [Low bass hit] DJ: That’s not possible. WOMAN: Neither is this. [She steps closer.] WOMAN: But you’re here. ──────────────────── [FINAL CHORUS - FULL CINEMATIC CLIMAX] We were here before the moment Before the first goodbye Before the memory had happened Before we learned to lie We were buried in the signal We were waiting in the sound And every time the clock hit eleven We were almost turning ’round If this is the night we met Then why do I know your face? If this is where our story starts Why does somebody else remember this place? ──────────────────── [OUTRO - MUSIC COLLAPSES TO PIANO + STATIC] [DJ slowly approaches the woman.] DJ: If we haven’t met yet… [Pause] DJ: Who are you? [Silence] [Woman looks directly at him.] WOMAN: I’m your daughter. [Silence] DJ: What? [The child steps forward.] DJ: We have a son. WOMAN: No. [Long pause] WOMAN: You have a son. [DJ looks confused.] WOMAN: I have a daughter. [The radio suddenly crackles.] CHILD: Dad… [DJ turns.] CHILD: Mom isn’t talking about me. [11:11 appears on every clock.] [The station lights go out.] [DEAD SILENCE] [One final whisper through the radio] UNKNOWN VOICE: Now you know where to look. [CLICK] [END OF SEASON TWO]
