==Transcript==
(An Origami Murder Bird appears on a white background, and black ink runs down to reveal the phrases "THE MAKING OF HEAVY RAIN" and "CASTING REAL ACTORS.")
(Video footage of Ethan Mars greeting Jason and Shaun in "Prologue" plays.)
Jason and Shaun: Dad!
Ethan: Hey, take it easy, you're gonna knock me over!
(Ethan embraces his sons.)
Ethan: So, this is your big day, huh?
Jason: Am I grown up now?
(The caption "Ethan MARS" appears.)
Ethan: Hmm, ten years old. That's not exactly grown up, but you're getting there.
(Video footage of Pascal Langdale preparing for his audition plays.)
Voice from off-camera: So, could you... just give me your name, for the camera?
(The caption "Pascal LANGDALE" appears.)
Pascal Langdale: Uh, my name is Pascal Langdale.
Voice from off-camera: Uh, what is the text that was given to you?
Langdale: I have, uh, Norman Jayden and Ethan as well.
(With Langdale in character as Ethan Mars:)
Shaun may be dead in a few hours! He-he-he-he-he wants to test me. He-he wants to punish me for Jason's death, I... Yeah, I'm-I'm the-the one who should, who should have died; I... I-I wanted to save him. I would have done anything to give my-my-my life for his, but I... I couldn't. N-Not a day goes by that I don't see his face. Now Shaun has got nothing to do with that, nor do any of the other children! Like... this has to stop!
Voice from off-camera: You've got to hand yourself into the police so maybe-
Langdale: If I hand myself into the police, I lose all chances of finding Shaun. They'll question me, but-but I won't be able to tell them anything because I don't know anything! I don't know what happened!
Voice from off-camera: Ethan, you may have killed those children. You don't know what you've capable of; you must hand yourself in!
Langdale: I have to save Shaun at all costs. He may be a-a prisoner somewhere, and I'm the only one who knows where! If-if I have to face up to all these trials to prove to myself that I love my son then I'll do it!
Voice from off-camera: Ethan, it's crazy; you have to hand yourself in.
Langdale: I'll hand myself into the police when I have found Shaun! Now, don't... promise me you-you won't inform on me until I have found my son.
(Video footage of Madison Paige arriving at the Cross Road Motel in "First Encounter" plays.)
News reporter: A recent report indicates that the police are now treating this as another kidnapping by the Origami Killer. If this information is confirmed, he may still be alive, as the previous victims were all killed 3 to 5 days after their abduction. Obviously, time is running out fast for the investigators trying to find the child. I'm Michael Neddy for ICN.
(After Madison rings the bell at the front desk, the receptionist exits his office.)
Receptionist: Hello there, sweetheart. What can I do for you?
Madison: I'd like a room.
Receptionist: For you, anything. Fill in the register.
(Madison walks away from the desk, and the receptionist stares after her as she leaves.)
Madison: That's for sure...
(Video footage of Jacqui Ainsley preparing for her audition plays.)
Jacqui Ainsley: I'm 25, been modeling for five years.
(The caption "Jacqui AINSLEY" appears.)
Voice from off-camera: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
Ainsley: Um... I didn't mean to get into modeling at all. I was scouted on the street; I was shopping with my mom.
(With Ainsley in character as Madison Paige:)
The last time I saw him, he was watching a convoy of trucks going by. I was about 50 yards away. He suddenly turned and looked at me... locked on my eyes. I didn't realize what was happening, shame to me. Heard cries from behind me, everyone started running in slow motion... I was remained motionless, locked on his gaze. I hadn't noticed the detonator in his hand.
(Video footage of Norman Jayden talking to Carter Blake in "Kick Off Meeting" plays.)
Norman: Your vast experience hasn't prevented eight victims from being murdered.
(Blake kicks the chair in front of him.)
Blake: Fuckin' asshole!
(The caption "Norman JAYDEN" appears.)
Norman: Blake, if you've got a better plan, I'm willing to listen! Don't be shy, I'm all ears.
(Video footage of Leon Ockenden preparing for his audition plays. Music starts playing as the caption "Leon OCKENDEN" appears.)
Leon Ockenden: Leon Ockenden, PFD.
Voice from off-camera: Can you tell me a little of what you've done recently?
(The music stops.)
Ockenden: Um, the last thing I did, I did a thing called "Richard the Lionheart" with me...
(With Ockenden in character as Norman Jayden:)
Voice from off-camera: Korda confessed.
Ockenden: You beat him all night to make him talk! He would have confessed to Kennedy's assassination if you asked him! Your confession's a heap of shit! Korda is not the Origami Killer. He's a sick child killer, but he has nothing to do with the disappearance of Shaun Mars. We have lost time for nothing, and all this time that continues to... and all that time, it continues to rain. According to the weather forecast we've got less than 12 hours before we reach 7 inches of rainfall, and we haven't the remotest idea where Shaun Mars is!
Voice from off-camera: Excellent.
(Video footage of Scott Shelby talking to Lauren Winter in "Sleazy Place" plays. The caption "Scott SHELBY" appears.)
Scott: I bought ten minutes of your time, didn't I? All I ask is that you use that time to answer some questions.
(Video footage of Sam Douglas in character as Scott Shelby at his audition plays. The caption "Sam DOUGLAS" appears.)
Voice from off-camera: So? This is where you work?
Sam Douglas: Disquieted?
Voice from off-camera: No. It's just very different from-from what I imagined. How'd you become a private eye?
Douglas: Well, I was a cop for 20 years, and one fine day my wife decided to run off with... um, you know... So... you-you should see all the faces of the husbands when they first discover that I know they have a mistress. It's like a little kid, their hand caught in the cookie jar. You know, I... I could have tripled my salary... you know, if I accepted everything they promised me... just to keep quiet.
(Music starts playing. The caption "14 CASTING SESSIONS" appears on a black background. Video footage of Patricia Davidson, Paul Bandey, Mike Powers, and Aurélie Bancilhon auditioning plays.)
(The caption "457 ACTORS AUDITIONED" appears on a black background. Video footage of Antony Hickling, Norman Stokle, Tercelin Kirtley, and Christian Erickson auditioning plays.)
(The caption "90 ACTORS SELECTED" appears on a black background. The intro video plays in reverse, leaving an Origami Murder Bird on a white background. The video fades to black.)
