The Motel/Transcript

This is the transcript of "The Motel," the fourteenth chapter of Heavy Rain.

Transcript
(The chapter opens with a view of the Cross Road Motel. Ethan is seen sitting in a chair inside of one of the motel's rooms, contemplating what to do with the shoebox he found in his previous chapter. The player can view his thoughts here.)

(If Ethan chooses "Motel":)

Ethan: I took a room in the first motel I saw.

(If Ethan chooses "Box":)

Ethan: The box from the locker... What am I gonna find inside?

(If Ethan chooses "Shaun?":)

Ethan: A shoebox...what's the connection with Shaun's disappearance?

(If Ethan chooses "Open":)

Ethan: Gotta open it, and find out what's inside.

(If Ethan chooses "Schizo?":)

Ethan: Am I the one who...who put this box in the locker? I don't remember.

(If Ethan turns the TV on before opening the box:)

Glenn Sanders: According to our sources, a child disappeared from the Stanton district yesterday evening. He was last seen playing in the park with his father. Full details are unknown, but following the disappearance of Jeremy Bowles, there is suspicion that this again may be the work of the Origami Killer. If confirmed, it will bring the number of victims to nine. (Ethan turns the TV off.)

(If Ethan sits at the desk and opens the box, he discovers five numbered origami figures, a phone and memory card with his name on it, and a gun. He opens the first origami figure and reads it. He then places the memory card in the phone, triggering a video of Shaun trapped in a well.)

Shaun: Help... Dad...

Ethan: Shaun!

Shaun: Where are you? I'm so cold... Dad... Dad!

(The video cuts to static, then a message is shown to Ethan. He discovers that the five origami figures are trials that he must complete in order to find where Shaun is being held. The player can view his thoughts here.)

(If Ethan chooses "Video":)

Ethan: This video is being transmitted in real time... This is happening now!

(If Ethan chooses "Alive":)

Ethan: Shaun...he's alive!

(If Ethan chooses "Rain":)

Ethan: Rain...he's in a well that's filling up with rainwater. The more it rains, the more the water rises.

(If Ethan chooses "Well":)

Ethan: If I don't find that well in time, Shaun's gonna drown...

(If Ethan chooses "Drown":)

Ethan: He's...he's gonna drown! Oh my god, Shaun...Shaun, what have I done to you?

(Ethan picks up the phone, the first origami figure, and the gun. Gathering the other origami figures and putting them back into the shoebox, he has the option of leaving the box on the desk or hiding it under the bed. Afterwards, he leaves to undertake the first trial, ending the chapter.)
