Day 5214
Day 5214 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Bea Callahan has been released from the Sheriff's office with a stern word and a handshake. Hal Brody is not currently speaking to Perry Gorse. Hal Brody is cooling off in the Sheriff's holding cell after the business at The Anchor. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Motion Still Pending runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
