Jessica lies back. She lays a hand on her belly with a
listening expression, meditative. She smiles serenely.
GURNEY (V.O.)
Now worlds away, those winsome
ladies
They call no more, they call no
more.
She takes her sleeping pill and closes her eyes.
GURNEY (V.O.)
(singing)
I remember garrisons of old
campaigners, Years washed with
weariness and wine... Now worlds
away, the wars forgotten...

65 EXT. RESIDENCY - NIGHT 65
One by one the lights in the windows go out. The house
shields shimmer in the moonlight.
GURNEY (V.O.)
(singing)
They call no more, they call no
more.
67 INT. MASTER BEDROOM - HOURS LATER 67
Leto awakens with a little gasp of anxiety. The room is dark
now. The city outside is silent.
He looks at Jessica: she sleeps deeply beside him. His eyes
stray out the window. Far away, on the Shield Wall cliffs, a
FLICKERING LIGHT draws his attention. He gets out of bed,
staring at it. It’s barely visible at the edge of the window.
68 INT. MAIN CORRIDOR - NIGHT 68
Leto walks down a hallway to a wide window with a clearer
view of the Shield Wall. The flashing light is unmistakable:
Blink-squirt, flicker, flash. A signal!
