linda grabs a metal bar and slides it between two hooks on the door and the jam.
linda continues shaking the door. the lock holds. a tear rolls down linda's cheek, but a strange thing happens. the tear drops freeze. linda shivers as she pulls the icy tears from her face.
linda drops the metal bar and slides down the wall, defeated.
linda finishes stripping the insulation off the electric cord.
linda furiously winds wire into a coil.
linda holds the plug end of the extension cord. the other end is wrapped into a tight long coil. linda looks for an outlet, but can't find one. she looks at the overhead lights.
linda works on jerry rigging the two ends of the wire to the lightbulb, socket. suddenly the coiled wire springs to life and flies against the nearest metal surface. she's made an electromagnet.
linda feels the rumbling as she places the coil up against the door. the magnet attaches itself. linda shakes the coil, trying to get the doorlock to move.
