98.

A YOUNGER CHARLIE (30) trots away, muffling Young Will’s

screams with a hand over his mouth.

INT. PICKUP TRUCK - MOVING - EVENING

Charlie steers down the empty interstate with Young Will

bound in the passenger seat, eyes swollen from tears.

CHARLIE:

I hope you’re finished crying. Try

to sleep. We have a long drive.

Charlie drives into the night, into the unknown.

INT. CABIN - DAY

Young Will wakes on a small cot, no longer bound. His eyes

dart around the sparse room.

Charlie approaches, grasps him by the shoulders.

CHARLIE:

I saved you from a dangerous world -

a world that must be changed. This

is our home. We are destined for

great things. We must be strong.

WILL:

I want my mom.

CHARLIE:

You will never see your mother

again. You are in a much better

place now. We are destined to

change the world.

END FLASHBACK.

INT. PRISON LIBRARY - NIGHT

Several copies of Charlie’s manifesto line a shelf in the

Philosophy section. A hand removes one of them.

A discerning eye may notice the quote ‘AND IF YOU GAZE LONG

ENOUGH INTO THE ABYSS...’ tattooed on the prisoner’s forearm.

FADE OUT.

THE END.
