COREY MILLS

Boss, what is going on—

HANNAH VALE

Corey, I thought you rounded up all the stragglers.

COREY MILLS

I did, Boss. Put ’em in an empty bathroom on the first floor. They’re locked in.

HANNAH VALE

Then who the hell is on the radio?

COREY MILLS

How should I know?

HANNAH VALE

Get off this channel, Mills. No one talks until I tell them to. [Pause]

HANNAH VALE

Hello? Who are you?

AUGUSTA PINE

I thought you said not to talk.

HANNAH VALE

Listen. We won’t hurt you. Just go to the main floor. You’ll be put with the others.

AUGUSTA PINE

As tempting as it sounds to spend theafternoon locked in a sweltering hot bathroom with a bunch of scared hostages, I’m going to pass.

HANNAH VALE

This is for your own safety. We’re not interested in violence.

AUGUSTA PINE

That corpse you left in the lobby would probably beg to differ. You know, if he weren’t dead. [Pause] You should hide your bodies better, Hannah.

HANNAH VALE

[Inhales] You’re not a resident, are you?

AUGUSTA PINE

Took you long enough to figure it out. Heard from your hacker lately?

HANNAH VALE

[Inaudible speech] I don’t know what you’re talking about.
