''There's always a reason why she can't sleep.''

'''In The Dark (Part 1)''' is a program Joe Frank produced as part of the series [[Work In Progress]]. It was originally broadcast in [[:Category:1992|1992]].

== Synopsis ==
*A woman suffers from insomnia.  
*The men in her apartment building who annoy her mysteriously disappear, leaving their clothes and a whiff of perfume behind.  
*A wealthy businessman's car breaks down in the ghetto.  
*He imagines homeless people taking over his house. 
*He is picked up by the insomniac woman, realizes that he is her landlord, and is drugged, dressed as a woman,  handcuffed to a locked briefcase, and kidnapped.  
*He is put in a limo, remembers meeting a woman dressed as Jesus in a bar, is left in the woods.  
*Joe discusses the significance of the man's story.
