Hope is 'unwisely' left alone in the lab.

Script

PAGE 40 (Three panels)

Panel One: Dr. Xu addressing a group of lab-coated scientists, with the small figure of Hope lingering in the background.

Caption: Dr. Xu calls a meeting in the late afternoon, mandatory for everyone in his lab, but not for me.

Panel Two: P.O.V from behind Hope. A group of lab-coated figures walking toward one of the laboratory’s exits. One of them is Andy, and he’s looking over his shoulder.

Caption: And so now I have facility to myself.

Panel Three: Hope setting up a video camera, pointing at the tube apparatus with the clamp.

Caption: Showtime.

Setting up equipment.

Script

Page 39 (Two panels)

Panel One: Two LABORATORY ASSISTANTS stand on ladders wrestling into place something that looks like a giant clamp around the upper portion of one of the empty tubes. Heavy cables run down off the clamp=like device and run out of the panel. Hope stands to one side directing them.

Caption: My equipment arrives the next day, and I spend most of that time directing its installation.

Caption: “Just a test run,” I tell the personnel responsible. “Leave those ladders in place, so that I can undertake the final calibration.”

Panel Two: ANDY, a youngish scientist in a white coat, stands at the base of one of the ladders, looking up at Hope, who’s standing on the ladder and mostly out of the panel- — we see perhaps the bottom of her skirt and her legs.

Caption: One of the junior members of Xu’s team, Andy I think his name is, is a bit forward.

Caption: Enjoy it while you can, buddy.

Lonely last night night in a motel

Script

PAGE 38 (Four panels)

Panel One: Hope letting herself into a motel room with a key. In one of her hands she’s carrying a few shopping bags.

Caption: Macneil has me put up at an obscure motel after giving me the courtesy of a side trip for wine and Chinese take-out.

Panel Two; A FBI agent, wearing sunglasses, sitting behind the wheel of a government sedan, drinking take-out coffee.

Caption: He arranges for agents to be stationed outside to discourage certain parties from interfering in what I have planned.

Panel Three: Close-up of Hope’s hand pouring some expensive wine into a plastic cup, next to some plates and take-out Chinese food containers.

Caption: The wine I picked up to enjoy by myself was way over my normal budget.

Panel Four: Hope, sitting in a chair inside her motel room, raising the plastic cup full of wine.

Caption: But what the hell. It’s going to be a long time at best before I get to try something like this again.
