TWO SIDES" — Arc 1: The Wedding Text Episode 1: "The Text" [COLD OPEN — 0:00] INT. SIMONE'S APARTMENT — BATHROOM — NIGHT Close on SIMONE (29), in a robe, wedding dress hanging on the door behind her. She's doing her skincare routine, calm, almost meditative. Soft R&B plays low from a speaker. Her phone buzzes on the sink. She glances at it — a banking app notification. SIMONE (V.O., reading) "Transfer confirmed: $4,200 to M. Whitfield." She frowns. Picks up the phone. [TITLE CARD — 0:20 — "TWO SIDES" sting] INT. SIMONE'S APARTMENT — BEDROOM — CONTINUOUS DRE (31) is asleep, phone face-down on the nightstand. Simone stands in the doorway holding her own phone — this was HIS notification, mirrored to a shared tablet for wedding budget tracking. SIMONE (quiet, to herself) Who's M. Whitfield? She sits on the edge of the bed. Nudges him. SIMONE (CONT'D) Dre. Dre, wake up. He stirs. DRE (groggy) Babe, it's — what time is it? SIMONE Who's M. Whitfield? Dre's face shifts — barely, but she catches it. He sits up too fast. DRE Where'd you see that? SIMONE The budget tablet. It synced. Forty-two hundred dollars, Dre. Two days before the wedding. DRE (rubbing his face) It's not — it's not what it looks like. SIMONE Then tell me what it looks like. Long pause. Dre looks at her — really looks, like he's deciding something. DRE Simone, there's some things about my family I haven't— A knock at the front door. Three sharp knocks. Both of them freeze. SIMONE (checking the time — 11:47 PM) Who is that. DRE (quiet, dread creeping in) ...No. Not tonight. He gets up fast, grabbing a shirt. SIMONE Dre, who is that? He doesn't answer. Walks out toward the front door. Simone follows, robe pulled tight, phone still in hand. INT. SIMONE'S APARTMENT — FRONT DOOR — CONTINUOUS Dre reaches the door. Hesitates with his hand on the lock. Simone stands behind him. DRE (low, almost to himself) How does he even know this address... He opens the door. MARCUS (33) stands in the doorway — sharp, composed, a gift bag in one hand, a smile that doesn't reach his eyes. MARCUS (looking past Dre, straight at Simone) You must be the bride. [HARD CUT TO BLACK] [STINGER SOUND CUE] END OF EPISODE 1
