After ten years in captivity, Dr. Bledsoe finally frees himself from his prison cell. He tells the audience that he has finally killed the "bastards" who have been keeping him in prison for so long. He says that he can hear the voice of nora, who has been calling for him ever since he was released from prison. He explains that he could hear her voice because she was always calling to him, and that this is why he was able to stay alive. He admits that it took them ten years to bring her back to consciousness, but that she will eventually return to normal. He promises to protect her from now on.
