Winding up the questioning, Warren finishes up with, Do you have anything else to add to your statement? No, sir. Warren completes his notes and adds the time. You'll need to sign a formal, typed version, which will be presented to the judge at your trial.
Putting his notebook away, Warren stands quietly for a moment, looking down at his shoes. Torn about his next step, he slowly moves closer to Jack and pulls out the note. Still, without making eye contact, he holds out the paper to Jack. Confused by Warren's attitude, Jack takes the note expecting an explanation from his friend. As soon as he opens it, he realizes its from Norman! Jack looks up at Warren and sees a sadness that rips at his heart. Completely bewildered now, Jack reads the note. Warren turns his back on Jack, as if giving him privacy, but in truth, he can't face what he believes the note explains.
Standing near the cell door, he pulls out the small metal device, concealed in his coat; staring down at this foreign object, sitting harmlessly in the palm of his hand,he has the urge the throw it to the floor and crush it, under his boots. A barely audible gasp escapes Jack's lips and he swiftly gets up, moving to Warren's side. Gently touching his arm, he holds out his other hand as a signal for Warren to give him the time displacement device. Warren transfers the object to Jack and turning his head, looks him straight in the eye...in a low voice...I would have done anything to help you.
