ENDING 1
INT.BEDROOM-CUVEEL'S HOUSE
A alarm goes off, continues to go off. Nothing. A empty
bottle of sleeping pills next to the alarm clock. CUVEEL is
laying in bed with his headphones on.
The mp3 player is on repeat.
WE SEE a IV hooked up to CUVEEL and a couple of other
equipment hooked up to it.
