Luther doesn’t stir - so Reed plays LUTHER’S BISHOP. REED This may turn out to be the first time I actually beat you. His phone beeps: INCOMING MESSAGE. He checks it out, makes a face. Pockets the phone. Stands. Luther hasn’t moved. Hasn’t even blinked. Reed might not be there. Reed claps his shoulder, fraternally. REED Got to go. Reed endures a moment of helpless sadness - then kisses Luther on the head - in benediction and friendship. He leaves. Luther stares out the window. GO TO TITLES - AND FADE IN TO : INT.
