Recording I- observation room, camera 01.

Balkari- Can you hear me?

14-88- Yes. Where am I?

Balkari- We'll get to that. Can you tell me your name?

14-88- ****** *******.

Balkari- Good. On the table ahead of you is a small blue pill and to the right of it is a glass of water. Take that pill for me.

(Subject 14-88 looks at the pill for a moment. Subject holds glass of water up to the light, seemingly checking closely for contaminants.)

14-88- What's in this pill? Is there something in the water?

Balkari- Nothing to worry about. Just take the pill please.

(Subject 14-88 crosses his arms, staring at the camera.)

14-88- I don't think so. Not until you tell me what it does.

(Dr. Balkari sighs.)

Balkari- You're a stubborn one.

14-88- I'm just interested in staying alive and in good health. You probably wouldn't take some random pill either.

Balkari- You can drink the water. It's just Dasani.

14-88- Eugh, I hate Dasani...

(14-88 reluctantly picks up the glass and takes a drink.)

Balkari- See! No reason to be suspicious.

14-88- For now.

Balkari- I'll be straight with you. We're keeping you in that chamber until you take the pill.

14-88- You can't just keep me here.

14-88- Hello?

(14-88 waits for approximately an hour, then stands, grabs the chair, and attempts to break through the window.)

Balkari- It's tempered glass. Can stop bullets.

14-88- Damn it!

Balkari- Please take the pill.

14-88- Ok. I will. But promise me you'll tell me what it does after I do.

Balkari- Alright. I promise.

(14-88 swallows the pill with the water.)

Balkari- The pill is a supplement meant to fill the daily nutrient requirements for an entire day.

14-88- Oh. Why didn't you tell me earlier? I would have just taken it if you had told me that earlier.
