EXT. THE AMERICAN EMBASSY -ROME - NIGHT - 1963

William Harvey pisses against the back wall - marble - of the embassy as Herrick Hubbard looks on.

HARVEY
You'll never know, Hubbard...you'll never know.

EXT. MOUNTAIN FACE - ARIZONA - DAY -1939

Young Herrick stands on a ledge of the rock face that can't be wider than thirty centimeters. He is perfectly still.

HARVEY (VO)
I believe in entropy, Hubbard. I do. But entropy is not the only thing that exists. We must confront entropy. The universe isn't only chaos.

EXT. THE AMERICAN EMBASSY - ROME - LATER

Harvey points a gun in the Herrick's face. His lips don't move.

HARVEY (VO)
Did you know that my parents almost named me Lee, Hubbard? Lee Harvey. Oh, I know what you're thinking - William suits me fine. But that's not the point, Hubbard. Lee Harvey.

EXT. THE AMERICAN EMBASSY - ROME - EARLIER

Back to Harvey speaking as he pisses.

HARVEY
Lee Harvey Oswald, Hubbard. That man and I had more in common than you could ever understand.

EXT. MAINE HIGHWAY ROAD - DAY - 1982

A much older Hubbard drives along in a pickup truck. He has a gray beard now.

HARVEY (VO)
I believe in something I've termed 'new embodiment,' Hubbard. New embodiment is what I had with Lee Harvey Oswald. You see, the universe isn't all chaos. There's a form, a method to the madness, an organization to the disinformation, there, that's a nice term, right? Most CIA can't see their own pricks for what they are, they're too worried about the disinformation. Maybe it's not theirs, right Hubbard?

EXT. MOUNTAIN FACE - ARIZONA - DAY - 1939

Herrick is still standing on the ledge. In the distance, out of focus, we see the shape of a climber looking for some footing above Herrick.

HARVEY
The universe is taking shape, Hubbard. You may not believe it, but it's true. Things happen for a reason.

INT. MANSION - WASHINGTON D.C. - DAY - 1972

Hubbard rushes into a bathroom. A woman sits in a bathtub. She has slit her wrists but appears to have done it recently. She is not beyond saving. Hubbard grabs gauze from a cabinet and applies it to her wrists as tourniquets. He takes her out of the bathroom.

HARVEY (VO)
So you think Hugh, Harlot, you think he was working for them? The whole time? You better take a good long look at yourself. Harlot was your embodiment.

EXT. THE AMERICAN EMBASSY - ROME - DAY - 1939

Harvey finishes taking a piss.

HARVEY
You'll never know, Hubbard. You'll never know how close to God I feel when I take one good piss like that.
