M.A.N.T.I.S.1994

John Stonebrake:
[the epilogue. At the Mantis's secret base, John makes a final record into a tape recorder in his hand] Today, at 3:00 in the afternoon, under a cloudless sky, we laid Miles Hawkins and Leora Maxwell to rest, as I believed they would have wanted. They are side by side. Those who love them know the truth of their heroism. Now, the record is complete. This room under the ocean, and all the secrets it holds, will be sealed. Tonight, I leave for the Orient. It is my intention never to return, but should someone else enter this room and view the record, let it be known that out of one man's pain came a force for good that stood against darkness. [He turns to leave. At the door, he stops] And for the rest of my life, I will be proud to say that Miles Hawkins, the Mantis, was my friend. [He ends the recording, shuts down the base, and leaves]
