00:01Copy video clip URL Camera opens on J. Pat Miller walking slowly through a door. He speaks theatrically, but audio is difficult to understand. He emerges through the door, and falls to down on a trunk. Men speaking remain off camera. Miller stands and moves unsteadily. He takes off his jacket and hangs it up. He gets a glass of water and adds drops of something to it. Audio gets fuzzy.

7:30Copy video clip URL He drinks the glass. He looks at himself in a mirror. He moves and sits at a desk with a writing pad. He smokes a cigarette. He draws at the desk. Static. He examines his drawing. He stands up and lays on the bed. Close-up on Miller sleeping restlessly.
