Elizabeth is at her desk writing when harper walks in.

Harper:
Someone just sent this through, said you would like to see it.

Elizabeth looks up at it and takes the document from Harper

Elizabeth:
Who was it?

Harper:
Some guy, said he used to work with you when you worked for that television company.

Elizabeth seems shocked

Elizabeth:
It wasn’t Mark was it?

Harper:
The writer? No some weird dude with glasses, said he worked on the social media team.

Elizabeth nods and begins reading the document.

Harper:
Wasn’t Mark your boyfriend?

Elizabeth:
He was.

Harper:
What happened?

Elizabeth:
Never date a genius.

Harper:
Why not?

Elizabeth’s eyes widen as she continues to read the paper.

Harper:
What is it?

Elizabeth:
Down stairs, are they covering the school?

Harper:
Yeah.

Elizabeth:
Any updates?

Harper:
He’s still there, they are trying to get demands to him. We have a source that believes they are going to storm the place.

Elizabeth:
Oh Mark.

She slowly places down the piece of paper.

Elizabeth:
We all told you not to do it.

Harper seems confused.

Harper:
What is it?

Elizabeth:
It’s the script for the pilot that is about to start shooting. The pilots written by Mark and it says that Incels deserve to die.

Harper:
A good time to be saying that. What are you going to do?

Elizabeth:
I’m going to write an article about it. Same old Mark Wilson taking out his personal vendetta on Incel’s. Sparking hatred and isolation for a group whose spend all their lives feeling hatred and isolation.

Harper:
He always seems so good on the TV. Is he really like that?

Elizabeth smiles sadly.

Elizabeth:
No but its what the media will want to hear.
