About the Job
Male, playable 40s-50s. The captive. A health-insurance executive: articulate, reasonable, persuasive — a man who has never had cause to doubt he's one of the good guys. Increasingly frightened but never broken; he talks because talking is how he's always prevailed, and he fully believes he can reason his way out. Synopsis: In an abandoned warehouse, a man sits bound to a column while his captor waits, armed and unhurried, for a radio to deliver a verdict in a trial that has gripped the country. He is an executive who builds systems. She is someone one of those systems failed.
