AGENT DARNELL
NUMBER 18

(Lights up on Number 18 strapped to a board and having water poured onto his face by Agent Wilkins while Agent Darnell holds Number 18’s head.)

AGENT WILKINS

Who did you work for?

AGENT DARNELL

Tell us or we won’t stop.

AGENT WILKINS

Who did you work for!

NUMBER 18

Okay! Okay! I’ll tell you. Please stop, I'll tell you.

(The two agents stop their torturing.)

AGENT DARNELL

Okay. Talk.

NUMBER 18

After college, I worked at a security firm, Lester Security Systems, in Des Moines, for three years.

AGENT WILKINS

Okay. Very good.

AGENT DARNELL

We’ll keep your resume on file.

AGENT WILKINS

We’re always looking for good people at the CIA, but I have to tell you, the fact that you gave up the information we wanted to know, doesn’t look good.

AGENT DARNELL

But it was your 183rd “interview,” so we’ll take that into consideration.
