INT. VIDEO ARCHIVE ROOM. CONTINUOUS. Mark enters the small, cramped room bathed in green light. He slams the door behind him and locks it. All walls are covered with heavy file cabinets. In the corner is a small, dusty television with a built-in VCR. There’s a rapping at the door. COBEL (o.s.) Mark! Open the door! Mark moves to the end of the room and opens a cabinet. It’s full of VHS tapes, each labeled with a name, and all carefully alphabetized. The door rattles. COBEL (CONT’D) (o.s.) You weren’t meant to come up here yet. Please, it’s dangerous! Mark moves to another cabinet and opens it. More tapes. Searching, he finds a drawer in the middle of the room and opens it. These tapes are labeled with ‘S’ names. Rooting through, he finds one marked ‘Scout, Mark.’ He moves to the television and flips it on. The image is of grey static, accompanied by a dull roar. COBEL (CONT’D) (o.s.)
Mark, I know you have questions. If you come out now, I promise I’ll explain everything.
He pushes in the tape. The static roar stops, and for a moment, the room is quiet. End of Act 2.
