Urgent Scare

[narrator.]
When two complete strangers each agree to take on a one-day gig - You're gonna be a security guard.
- I am dying to get a new assistant.
it's business as usual until their paths collide and these temporary assignments turn into all-out supernatural surprises.
- My God! - No! It's the most elaborate hidden camera prank show ever devised.
- Get down! - [screaming.]
Double the stakes What is that? and double the scares.
- [screaming.]
- My God! And there's only one person with his finger on the button when you least expect it.
[screaming.]
[chuckling.]
All right.
Let's cue another scare.
[narrator.]
This is where fear [woman screams.]
meets funny.
You're on my prank show, Prank Encounters.
- Did you know? - No! This is Prank Encounters.
[dramatic orchestral strings.]
All right.
I have to get to the hospital.
Why? [Gaten.]
Because that's the setting for this prank encounter.
This is an urgent care clinic and in a few minutes, a very ill astronaut will be arriving.
Apparently he's got something growing inside of him and it really, really wants to get out.
It could have been something he ate out on the space station but, hey, I'm no doctor.
[Gaten.]
This is not a true story, but for these two unwitting people, it's about to be as real as it gets.
Jaeda is a college student eager to earn a few bucks answering phones at the emergency room with Dr.
Dittman who's being played by Henry.
Now, we know he's not a real doctor, but Jaeda doesn't need to know this.
And this is Abbey.
She thinks she's been hired by an executive transport company that works exclusively with government VIPs.
Astronauts, for example.
[Gaten.]
As always, everything they're about to do will be captured on hidden camera and everyone they're about to encounter are all actors.
Jaeda and Abbey have never met, but when Abbey's passenger becomes deathly ill, not only will they have to meet, but they'll have to work together to stay alive.
- Dr.
Henry Dittman.
How you doing? - Good.
My goodness.
Tell me about yourself.
I am Jaeda.
I'm 20 years old right now.
I'm in college.
We're on break right now.
- Okay.
- My major is Communications.
You're gonna be able to use your communications studies for this job.
- Okay, great.
- In a huge way.
Let's tell her what she's gonna be doing.
[Dr.
Dittman.]
So, all day today, when the phone rings, we're gonna take down the patient's name, their number, their insurance, and write a little note, either on this area or next to "Insurance," of what the call is about.
Okay.
It really shouldn't be very busy, because, for the most part we've moved our operations to another facility.
- Okay.
- You're answering the phone, you're filling out those forms and then the other thing is, I don't have the most dependable staff with me tonight.
I want you, if you're interested - I want you to come with me.
- Okay.
We'll do some work.
You can be my eyes and ears, keep notes.
[Gaten.]
She totally trusts Henry.
All right, show me Abbey.
[digital beeps.]
[concierge.]
So, this is Jonathan.
- Jonathan, this is Abbey.
- [Abbey.]
Hi.
- How you doing? - Good.
How are you? What we're doing tonight This company's called Stress Free Shuttle.
Okay.
We pick up and drop off VIPs that work with the government or the military.
- You and I are concierges.
- Okay.
- We cater to their every need.
- Okay.
How would you say you are as people person? I can talk to a brick wall, like Awesome.
We got one person we're picking up first.
- Okay.
- He's Lieutenant Colonel Jeffrey Lewis.
- Mm-hmm.
- Maybe you've heard of him? - I feel like I've heard the name.
- He was in the news recently.
- Okay.
- He works for NASA.
[gasps.]
Okay! We're driving him to the CDC, - where he's going to be giving a speech.
- Okay.
All right guys, let's do this.
[Gaten.]
All right, the wheels are in motion.
Abbey's now on her way to our first stop to pick up our astronaut, Lieutenant Lewis.
[concierge.]
His wife, Cathy, was saying he's very nervous about this meeting.
[concierge.]
Jeffrey Lewis? [Gaten.]
All right, now Abbey's making contact with our actors: Jeff the astronaut and Cathy, who's playing his wife.
[Concierge.]
Hi, Cathy.
[Concierge.]
Okay, great.
[Gaten.]
Okay.
Abbey's back on the road.
Too bad they're not gonna make it to the speech.
[Dr.
Dittman.]
We're called "Urgent Care.
" What do you think is the most important word in "Urgent Care"? "Urgent.
" That is right.
Can I ask you something because you are a doctor? Yeah.
Recently my iron was low and stuff like that, so I got these red pills, these red iron pills from my doctor.
And, I'm like, starting to eat more - spinach and kale and stuff like that.
- Food is medicine.
Food can be a medicine, food can be a poison.
And you talk about a plant-based diet, it keeps you regular and that's what I'm saying.
Like for me, it's all about bowel movement.
Right.
You want it coming out the basement, not out the attic.
Right.
Henry's so stupid.
[Jaeda.]
I just can't.
I'm so picky when it comes to food because I feel like the government hides a lot of stuff from us.
[quizzical tone.]
Yeah.
I feel the same way.
Like I think aliens are real.
Area 51, all that stuff out in New Mexico, I believe that.
I really think, you know, just even watching Stranger Things, I feel like that stuff really happened.
Like, I feel like there's another world.
[Gaten.]
All right, here we go.
Van's coming.
What's your speech about? Well, you know, I was up there doing some experiments.
- Mm-hmm.
- [Lt.
Col Lewis.]
We had A rover landed on an asteroid and it took a sample.
- It burrowed deep in the ground - My goodness.
- and it took a sample.
- No way! And we brought it back to the space station and, you know, they found things.
You know, nobody wants to talk about it, but [concierge.]
Had that ever been done? - [Lt.
Col Lewis.]
It was the first time.
- [Abbey.]
My gosh.
I was supposed to be in there for just six months, but then they brought me down there for three, so There's a period of quarantine.
Really? Does that feel so cool, to be a part of something happening for the first time? It does.
That's huge.
Exactly.
And people don't know about it.
That's what I'm gonna talk about tonight.
I'm gonna reveal some stuff that's S-H-I-T is going down, you know? Wait, what? Some people just have a different idea of what shouldn't be public knowledge.
You're doing the right thing, honey.
I can't wait to see the looks on their faces when you tell them what you discovered.
[Lt.
Col Lewis.]
Yep.
It's time to up the stakes.
Lieutenant, ask for the snacks.
Cathy, you have any snacks? - Did you bring anything? I'm starving.
- Yeah, of course.
Could you hand him these, please? I'm just, like I can't eat enough.
[Cathy.]
He lost a lot of muscle mass.
I think it's just his body in starvation mode.
Like, he's just trying to gain those calories back.
[Lt.
Col Lewis coughs.]
[Lt.
Col Lewis grunts.]
Honey, are you okay? It's just there's that pain.
That same pain.
It's coming back.
Every time I'm starving, but when I eat, I get this, like Your eyes are bigger than your stomach? - No, I just start getting indigest - Oh, yeah.
Ah, God! Ah! Is it like a burning? Yeah, it's like heartburn.
I feel like it's I don't know if it's food or what.

In three months? Did he say he'd been eating? She said he eats crazy.
He eats like seven meals a day.
She's like, "I don't know where it's going.

That could be inside of him? - Except I don't - [Lt.
Col Lewis.]
Doctor, I need you! - Let's go see what he needs.
