In the back seat, Jean starts screaming.
Grimsrud is not gaining on the tail lights.
He fights with the wheel as his car swims on the road face.
The red tail lights ahead start to turn. With a distant
crunching sound, they disappear.
The headlights now show only empty road, starting to turn.
Grimsrud frowns and slows.
His headlights show the car up ahead off the road, crumpled
around a telephone pole, having failed to hold a turn.
Grimsrud brakes.
Jean slides off the back seat and thumps into the legwell.
Grimsrud sweeps his gun off the front seat, throws open his
door and gets out.
EXT. ROAD
The wrecked car’’s headlights shine off into a snowfield
abutting the highway. A young man in a down parka is
limping across the snowfield, away from the wrecked car.
Grimsrud strides calmly out after the injured boy. He
raises his gun and fires.
With a poof of feathers, a hole opens up in the boy’’s back
and he pitches into the snow.
Grimsrud walks up to the wreck and peers in its half-open
door.
A young woman is trapped inside the twisted wreckage,
injured.
Snow swirls in the headlights of the wreck.
Grimsrud raises his gun and fires.
AN OIL PAINTING
A blue-winged teal in flight over a swampy marshland. The
room in which it hangs is dark. We hear off-screen snoring.
We track off to reveal an easel upon which we see a half-
completed oil of a grey mallard.
The continuing track reveals a couple in bed, sleeping. The
man, fortyish, pajama-clad, is big, and big-bellied. His
mouth is agape. He snores. His arms are flung over a woman
in her thirties, wearing a nightie, mouth also open, not
snoring.
We hold for a long beat on their regular breathing and
snoring.
The phone rings.
The woman stirs.
WOMAN
Oh, geez……
She reaches for the phone.
WOMAN
…… Hi, it’’s Marge……
The man stirs and clears his throat with a long deep rumble.
MARGE
…… Oh, my. Where?…… Yah……
Oh, geez……
The man sits up, gazes stupidly about.
MARGE
…… Okay. There in a jif……
Real good, then.
She hangs up.
MARGE
…… You can sleep, hon. It’’s
early yet.
MAN
Gotta go?
MARGE
Yah.
The man swings his legs out.
MAN
I’’ll fix ya some eggs.
MARGE
That’’s okay, hon. I gotta run.
MAN
Gotta eat a breakfast, Marge.
I’’ll fix ya some eggs.
MARGE
Aw, you can sleep, hon.
MAN
Ya gotta eat a breakfast……
He clears his throat with another deep rumble.
MAN
…… I’’ll fix ya some eggs.
MARGE
Aw, Norm.
PLATE
Leavings of a huge plate of eggs, ham, toast.
Wider, we see Marge now wearing a beige police uniform. A
patch on one arm says BRAINERD POLICE DEPARTMENT. She wears
a heavy belt holding a revolver, walkie-talkie and various
other jangling police impedimenta. Norm is in a dressing
gown.
MARGE
Thanks, hon. Time to shove off.
NORM
Love ya, Margie.
As she struggles into a parka:
MARGE
Love ya, hon.
He is exiting back to the bedroom; she exits out the front
door.
