INT. SOMERSET'S CAR -- DAY ,Somerset is at the wheel. Mills is in the passenger's seat looking back at John Doe through protective wire mesh. Doe's in the back seat. His handcuffs are attached to ankle cuffs by a length of chain. He is dressed in gray pants and a gray shirt, .looking out the window, sweaty but placid SOMERSET ?Who are you, John? Who are you really .John Doe looks to Somerset's eyes in the rearview mirror JOHN DOE ?What do you mean SOMERSET I mean, at this point, what would it hurt ?if you told us a little about yourself JOHN DOE (pause) It doesn't matter who I am. Who I am means absolutely nothing (looking out, to Somerset) You need to turn left here... at the .traffic light MILLS ?Where we headed JOHN DOE .You'll see .Mills looks at Doe for a long time in silence MILLS We're not just going to pick up two more bodies, are we, Johnny? That wouldn't be... shocking enough. Wouldn't keep you .on the front page of the newspapers JOHN DOE Wanting people to pay attention, you can't just tap them on the shoulder. You have to .hit them in the head with a sledgehammer .Then, you have their strict attention MILLS What makes you so special that people ?should pay attention JOHN DOE Not me. I'm not special. I'm not .exceptional (pause) .This is, though. What I'm doing MILLS I hate to burst your bubble, but other than the fact that you're especially sadistic, there's nothing unusual about these .precious murders of yours JOHN DOE .You know that's not true MILLS In two months, no one's going to even .remember this happened .Doe looks down for a moment, then looks up, almost shyly JOHN DOE You can't see the whole... the whole complete act yet. Not yet. But, when this is done, it's going to be... so... so... MILLS .Spit it out JOHN DOE It's going to be flawless. People will barely be able to comprehend it. It will seem almost surreal... but it will have a tangible reality, so they won't be able to .deny it Doe looks down, licking his lips. He clenches his hands into .fists, digging his bandaged fingertips into his sweaty palms JOHN DOE I can't wait for you to see. I can't ...wait (pause, looks to Mills) .It's really going to be something MILLS Well, I'll be standing beside you the whole time, so you be sure to let me know when this whole, complete reality thing is .done. Wouldn't want to miss it JOHN DOE ...Oh, don't worry. You won't
