fishtails out onto the boulevard.
SCOTTY’’S BEDROOM
Scotty lies on the bed, weeping. Jerry enters and perches
uncomfortably on the edge of his bed.
JERRY
…… How ya doin’’ there, Scotty?
SCOTT
Dad! What’’re they doing? Wuddya
think they’’re doin’’ with Mom?
JERRY
It’’s okay, Scotty. They’’re not
gonna want to hurt her any.
These men, they just want money,
see.
SCOTT
What if - what if sumpn goes wrong?
JERRY
No, no, nothin’’s goin’’ wrong here.
Grandad and I, we’’re - we’’re makin’’
sure this gets handled right.
Scott snorfles and sits up.
SCOTT
Dad, I really think we should call
the cops.
JERRY
No! We can’’t let anyone know about
this thing! We gotta play ball with
these guys - you ask Stan Grossman,
he’’ll tell ya the same thing!
SCOTT
Yeah, but -
JERRY
We’’re gonna get Mom back for ya, but
we gotta play ball. Ya know, that’’s
the deal. Now if Lorraine calls, or
Sylvia, you just say that Mom is in
Florida with Pearl and Marty……
Scotty starts to weep again. Jerry stares down at his lap.
JERRY
…… That’’s the best we can do here.
EXT. CABIN
It is a lakeside cabin surrounded by white. A brown Ciera
with dealer plates is pulling into the drive.
Grimsrud climbs out of the passenger seat as Carl climbs out
of the driver’’s. Grimsrud opens the back door and, with an
arm on her elbow, helps Jean out. She has her hands tied
behind her and a black hood over her head.
With a cry, she swings her elbow out of Grimsrud’’s grasp and
lurches away across the front lawn. Grimsrud moves to
retrieve her but Carl, grinning, lays a hand on his
shoulder.
CARL
Hold it.
They both look out at the front lawn, Grimsrud
expressionless, Carl smiling.
With muffled cries, the hooded woman lurches across the
unbroken snow, staggering this way and that, stumbling on
the uneven terrain.
She stops, stands still, her hooded head swaying.
She lurches out in an arbitrary direction. Going downhill,
she reels, staggers, and falls face-first into the snow,
weeping.
CARL
Ha ha ha ha ha ha! Jesus!
Grimsrud, still expressionless, breaks away from Carl’’s
restraining hand to retrieve her.
BRAINERD POLICE HEADQUARTERS
We track behind Marge as she makes her way across the floor,
greeting various officers. She holds a small half-full
paper sack.
Beyond her we see a small glassed-in cublcle. Norm sits at
the desk inside with a box lunch spread out in front of him.
There is lettering on the cubicle’’s glass door: BRAINERD
PD. CHIEF GUNDERSON.
Marge enters and sits behind the desk, detaching her walkie-
talkie from her utility belt to accomodate the seat.
MARGE
Hiya, hon.
She slides the paper sack toward him.
NORM
Brought ya some lunch, Margie.
What’’re those, night crawlers?
He looks inside.
The bottom of the sack is full of fat, crawling earthworms.
MARGE
Yah.
NORM
Thanks, hon.
MARGE
You bet. Thanks for lunch. What
do we got here, Arbie’’s?
NORM
Uh-huh.
She starts eating.
MARGE
…… How’’s the paintin’’ goin’’?
NORM
Pretty good. Found out the Hautmans
are entering a painting this year.
MARGE
Aw, hon, you’’re better’’n them.
NORM
They’’re real good.
MARGE
They’’re good, Norm, but you’’re
better’’n them.
