CAPTAIN<br />

But sir, he hasn’t technically<br />

done anything wrong.<br />

INTELLIGENCE AGENT<br />

In this business, dissidents<br />

INT. SOLITARY CONFINEMENT - WELL<br />

BETH<br />

Where... is he buried?<br />

Bruce. No cemetery... Mabel...?<br />

Buried at sea? Waste. Human<br />

waste. The sea. Cook Strait...<br />

dumped overboard in rough seas.<br />

burrowing into Beth’s brain. She presses her hands against<br />

her ears in horror.<br />

her forehead.<br />

Camp Commandant.<br />
