'I can't breathe.' Jamal Khashoggi's last words disclosed in transcript, source says

The transcript begins at the moment Khashoggi enters the Saudi consulate in a quiet residential district of Istanbul at lunchtime on October 2.
The transcript notes the noises that can be heard on the tape, almost in the manner that subtitles describe moments in movies where there is no dialogue.
"Scream.""Scream.""Gasping."Then, the transcript notes other descriptions."Saw.""Cutting."
