William exits and the outside of the cell is revealed. "Thanks for visiting Westworld, but before you go, would you like to purchase eternal life?". His face lacerated and caked with blood looking like Sam Neill at the end of Event Horizon, he greets his visitors with a shard of mirror clutched in his hand like a knife. Und wer (oder genauer gesagt, was) ist James Delos (wiederkehrender Gaststar PETER MULLAN) wirklich? He's still there, riding his exercise bike amid the rubble.
