(Rachel knocks on the door of a house, and then rings the doorbell)
Rachel Blake Narvik, Norway
(Rachel is let in by a butler, and then brought to Alvar Hanso)
Alvar: Leave us.
(The butler leaves, and Alvar motions to Rachel to sit down)
Alvar: Rachel Blake.
Rachel: You recognize me?
Alvar: How did you get past security?
Rachel: I have contacts inside your Foundation. The nurse who comes in regularly to take your blood was called away on a family emergency. I’m her replacement.
Alvar: Clever. So, did you come to draw blood?
Rachel: How can you joke, after everything you’ve done?
Alvar: You brought in a recording device.
Rachel: No. This is between you and me.
Alvar: I can hear it Rachel, its in your bag. You must have thought you could walk into my home, armed with nothing but the truth, and extract a confession from me.
Rachel: Something like that.
Alvar: hmm-hmm, I find your idealism touching. And, since its the truth you came for, I suppose that is what I should give you. On tape.
(Rachel moves the camera to accurately capture Alvar)
Alvar: The men you see here, work for the Foundation, they do not work for me. Their job is to keep me inside. To keep me from talking to anyone of importance. I’m a prisoner--
Rachel: No! You are not dodging the blame.
Alvar: No. I’m not. I am to blame. For training Thomas Werner Mittelwerk. For grooming him to be my successor. For giving him all the tools he needed to do the awful things he has. He cannot kill me, but he can keep me locked up while he kills millions of what--
(Footage cuts out for a moment)
Alvar: He--he is the one who has done all of the things that you have exposed. And much worse, all in my name. And yours.
Rachel: Mine?
Alvar: That's why you came, the reason why you’ve investigated the Foundation. You wanted to learn more about the trust fund that paid for your upbringing. You wondered how a single mother, could pay for an education, and all the advantages you were given. But you, are a beautifully intelligent young woman, and you were able to trace the funds back to the Foundation. You searched, and even as you realized all the evil that was being done, even as you turned against everything that the Foundation now stands for, you kept on, because you knew the path would lead, to your father. And now I need your help, even if I don’t deserve it. I may never leave this house alive, and it’s only a matter of time before the guards realize who you are. So take this confession, get it to the press, to the authorities, to anyone who will listen! Make a scandal, Rachel! You are the only one who can bring down Mittelwerk, and set me free. Go now Rachel, finish this once and for all. Go!
Rachel: So long-- Dad.
