Script

A perfectly dressed man lay slumped on Somerton Beach, South Australia, in December 1948-no ID, no wallet, no cause of death. Later, police discovered a hidden pocket in the Somerton Man’s pants with a single scrap of paper that read 'Tamám Shud,' meaning 'ended' in Persian. Strangest of all, a rare copy of a 12th-century poetry book was found locked in his abandoned car, inscribed with five lines of code that have never been broken. Decades on, no one knows who the Somerton Man was, or why his final message was a word for 'finished.'
