ETHAN goes quickly to the body of the dead woman. He cheeks

the pulse in her neck, shines a penlight in her eye. He

strips the adrenalin kit and jabs the long needle into the

dead woman's thigh. He checks her pulse again, checking a

stopwatch. In about ten seconds, the woman's eyes open.

CLAIRE is her name, a French woman of thirty or so. She half

rolls over, GROANS, and wipes some of the blood from her

mouth.

CLAIRE:

Did we get it?

ETHAN:

We got it. On your feet.

CLAIRE:

I want to sleep. Can I sleep here.

ETHAN:

Walk, just walk. Start walking.

CLAIRE:

I'm walking.

ETHAN:

Talking's good, walking's better.

CLAIRE:

Sleeping's better.

Meanwhile, MEN in overalls take apart the room. The ceiling

lifts right off the walls, and the walls themselves start to

come down, revealing the "hotel room" to be an elaborate set

in the middle of an empty warehouse.

JACK comes into the room from the closet. He hands CLAIRE

her jewelry, including a watch and a wedding ring. ETHAN

stops what he's doing, noticing. She looks up at him

questioningly.

CLAIRE:

Are you all right Ethan. What's wrong

with you?

ETHAN:

If you're gonna do this again Claire,

It's not gonna be on my watch.

CLAIRE:

Oh yeah?

JACK comes into the room from the closet. He hands CLAIRE

her jewelry, including a watch and a wedding ring. ETHAN

stops what he's doing, noticing. She looks up at him,

questioningly.

JACK:

Claire.

ETHAN:

Jack.

She almost unconsciously slips the wedding ring onto her

finger. ETHAN notices. He turns and SHOUTS to the room at

large.

ETHAN:

IS THERE ANY PARTICULAR REASON WE'RE NOT

OUT OF HERE YET?!

JACK:

Just waiting for you, tubs.

He walks across the room and out the door. CLAIRE, worried,

clutches her hands together, glancing down at her wedding

ring.

We move in on it --
