[The camera clicks on to show Jackie, looking and sounding much less awful than in his last post, sitting in a chair in a dark room. He steeples his fingers and smiles for the camera, charming and composed.]

Hey, kiddies. Just wanted to check in with everyone - couple a weeks ago, I wasn't feeling too hot, but I'm all better now. Just needed to have a chat with some...friends.

[The way he says friends makes the word sound much more mysterious and possibly threatening than it should. Speaking of friends, his eyes dart up - someone is behind the camera, holding it; he nods to them.]

Been catching up with them. You know how it is with buddies you haven't seen in a while. It's always nice to have 'em back.

[Finger-guns at the lens.]

And....cut, boys, that's a rap.

[The camera lowers, but the cameraman forgets to turn it off. Instead, he - or maybe it, since the voice is strange and scratchy and not quite right - responds.]

Nice work, boss. The camera loves ya!

Yeah, yeah, who doesn't. Just cause you're flattering me doesn't mean you get to stay.

[Another voice chimes in.]

But boss, we haven't even done -

Yeah no sneakin' around or killin' -

[But there's a click of a lightswitch, and the voices are gone.

Then there's Jackie puttering around his room until the communicator times out.]
