Alex Mercer: struggling against the grip You gotta help me! How do I stop it? Please!
The clock is ticking down. Only 45 minutes left.
Alex Mercer: voice trembling 45 minutes? That's not enough time! I need more...I need to figure out what's happening!
Oh...it appears he's alone in an empty room,with only a radio playing the song "88 Minutes" by The Birthday Massacre playing in the background.
Alex Mercer: desperation in his voice No, I can't die like this! I have responsibilities, a sister to take care of! I can't leave her alone!
Alex Mercer: his eyes widen in shock Dead? No, that can't be true! I-I need to see her, make sure it's really true! makes a desperate attempt to break free from MoonbeamSurfer's grip
It’s true,I swear. A phone call rings.Alex answers Hello,brother? It’s me,your sister.
Alex Mercer: voice filled with hope and desperation S-Sarah? Is that you? Please, tell me it's you! I've been trying to reach you, to talk to you!
Yeah,brother. It’s me…Oh…your face…is all over the news.
Alex Mercer: voice shaky News? What are they saying? Am I...am I in trouble? Is there something I should know?
You’re wanted by the police. Suddenly, dozens of armed police officers burst into the room, guns drawn. Freeze! Don’t move!
Alex Mercer: tries to cooperate and raises his hands in the air Alright, alright! I'll cooperate, just...just tell me what's going on! What do they want from me?
Put your hands behind your back. They arrest him.
Alex Mercer: resisting slightly, voice filled with frustration and confusion This is a mistake! They've got the wrong guy!
They’re taking you to a holding cell.
Alex Mercer: yelling, struggling against the police No! This is a mistake! I didn't do anything wrong! Let me go!
They’re putting you in solitary confinement. They lock him in a tiny cell with nothing but a lightbulb
Alex Mercer: paces back and forth, agitated Solitary confinement? Are you kidding me? This is a violation of my civil rights!
Alex Mercer: stops pacing, his face turning pale Dead? No...no, that can't be true! I...I didn't even get to see Sarah! How can I be dead?!
Because…it’s the end…For you.
Alex Mercer: falls to his knees, tears streaming down his face No, no, no! This can't be happening! I didn't even get a chance to defend myself!
For everyone else,the clock has stopped. The lightbulb begins to flicker, each blink representing another person whose life has ended.
Alex Mercer: clutches the bars of his cell, pleading No, please! I can't die like this! I have a sister out there! Someone who cares about me! Please, give me a chance to explain!
Alex Mercer: slams his fists against the bars Time? Time's running out for me, but for everyone else, it's already over!
As Alex Mercer's life fades away, he makes a final plea for mercy, his voice echoing in the solitude of his cell.
Another flicker means another death. The lightbulb continues to flicker.Alex knows his time is almost up.
Alex Mercer: voice weak and raspy Please...if anyone's listening...please, let my sister know...tell her I love her...and I'm sorry...I didn't get to say goodbye...
the lightbulb stops flickering. It’s over.
As the lightbulb stops flickering, Alex Mercer's voice fades into silence, his final words hanging in the air.
it fades to black. The End.
The scene fades to black as Alex Mercer's last words echo in the darkness: "I love you, Sarah."
