LEAVEN:

I just wanna wake up...

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Leaven blinks with her eyes several times. Quentin sits down beneath her.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

QUENTIN:

Leaven, we can do this. We just have to stay calm, and work together as a team. There's gotta be a lot of people looking for us on the outside. I'm a cop, alright?

LEAVEN:

You're a cop?

QUENTIN:

Yeah... I'm gonna get you out of here, I promise, but you gotta be with me on this one...

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Leaven nods.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

LEAVEN:

Ok.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Rennes opens a new door, waiting for Quentin to give "signal"

--------------------------------------------------------------------

QUENTIN:

Boot it!

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Rennes throws the boot, nothing happens.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

RENNES:

Clean.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Through several times of boot-throwing we see other rooms, with other colors on the walls. On the way to a new green room, Leaven notice some numbers in the passage between two rooms. A loud sound is to hear.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

HOLLOWAY:

That one sounded closer.

RENNES:

It's mechanical. Seems to come at regular intervals.

QUENTIN:

Maybe it's the ventilationsystem?

RENNES:

No bets...

HOLLOWAY:

No kidding, I'm boiling

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Leaven looks at the numbers again: 566 472 737. Above these numbers are some others: 476 804 539.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

QUENTIN:

What is it, serial numbers?

HOLLOWAY:

Room numbers, they're different in each room.

WORTH:

Oh great, so there's only 566 million 400.000 rooms in this thing.

HOLLOWAY:

There'd better not be! We have about three days without food and water before we're too weak to move.

LEAVEN:

They have to feed us, don't they?

QUENTIN:

Holloway!

HOLLOWAY:

Oh, we have heat, stress, physical exhaustion i.e. dehydration, headaches, dizziness, disorientation, confusement. Mental process. The body eventual begins to break down it's own tissue.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Rennes rips a button of Holloway's shirt.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

RENNES:

Suck on it... Keeps the saliva flowing.
