43.<br />

A few ELDERLY PATIENTS are reading magazines or watching TV.<br />

Walt is the youngest patient there. (Wardrobe note: All the<br />

patients are in their street clothes.)<br />

Walt is flanked by Skyler and Walter, Jr. They’re all<br />

anxious about what awaits Walt in the next room.<br />

Walt tries to read a magazine, but is too distracted. He<br />

makes eye contact with Walter, Jr. who, miraculously, smiles<br />

at him. Touched, Walt smiles back.<br />

A door opens and a MEDICAL TECHNICIAN in scrubs pokes her<br />

head in, consulting a clipboard.<br />

Skyler squeezes Walt’s hand. He gets up from his chair.<br />

INT. RADIATION SUITE - DAY<br />

Bright, harsh light. We’re looking down at Walt, naked from<br />

the waist up, lying motionless on a radiation table. He’s<br />

on his back with his arms raised over his head -- his whole<br />

body embedded in a FOAM CRADLE.<br />

For a few beats, nothing happens. It’s disturbingly quiet.<br />

Walt grows more and more nervous...<br />

Then we hear a SUCTION NOISE, like a very loud vacuum<br />

cleaner -- and the foam cradle CONFORMS to the shape of<br />

Walt’s body as if he were a doll being packaged.<br />

Off Walt, now completely immobilized...<br />

INT. WALT’S CAR - DRIVING - DAY<br />

Days later. Walt is by himself, driving through town, his<br />

destination unknown to us. His cell phone CHIRPS. He picks<br />

it up, checks the caller ID.<br />

Walt hesitates a moment while he composes his thoughts, then<br />

answers the phone:<br />

Hello?<br />

WALT<br />
