51.
INT. VIDEO ARCHIVE ROOM. EVENING. Back in the cramped room, Mark crouches before the television set, watching the recorded image of himself reading the waver. He can hardly breathe as he stares at his own pensive face. MARK (on-screen)
I say these things of my own free accord, and being of sound mind. MILCHICK (on-screen) That’s good, Mark. That’s real good. MARK (on-screen) Would it be alright if I said something? To him?
Pause.
COBEL (on-screen)
No. The screen cuts to static. Mark leans back. He stares into the static for a very long moment. INT. UPPER HALLWAY. NIGHT. Mark opens the door and steps quietly out of the archive room. Cobel and Milchick stand before him. MARK When was that taken? COBEL This morning. Mark nods. MARK I’m never going to leave here.
