ROSE (CONT’D)
If you wanna go then go. I’m not going to force you to stay but I’m not leaving.
EXT. BACKYARD - SAME TIME
The auction is flying now. Dean’s hand signals are going fast. It’s down to three couples.
Dean signals “5, 6.” Mr. Greene raises his hand. Dean points.
Dean signals “5, 8.” Mrs. Deets raises her hand. Dean points.
Dean signals “6.” Jim Hudson raises both his hands and signals “10.” His chauffeur stands beside him whispering in his ear. Dean points at him.
Dean scans the crowd signalling “10, 2?” “10, 2?” The crowd looks around. No one is challenging. Dean smiles. Finally Dean bangs his fist onto his open palm and points to Jim Hudson. Jim’s chauffeur whispers in his ear.
The guests clap in a mixture of delight and disappointment.
EXT. LAKESIDE - DUSK
Chris and Rose sit watching the sunset over the lake. Chris kisses her hand. He hears the faint APPLAUSE in the distance. He looks in the direction of the house.
CHRIS
I told you about the night my mom died. How I didn’t call 911; didn’t go out looking for her.
ROSE
Baby--
CHRIS
One hour went by, then two, three…… I just sat there…… I just watched TV.
ROSE
It wasn’t your fault--
CHRIS
I found out later she had survived the initial hit.
CHRIS (CONT’D)
She laid there bleeding by the side of the road all night, cold and alone. And that’s how she died in the early morning…… Cold and alone. And I was watching TV.

CHRIS (CONT’D)
There was time. If someone was looking for her, there was time. But no one was looking.
Chris cries. Rose embraces him.
ROSE
You were just a kid.
CHRIS
Yeah…… yeah. So, I’m not gonna leave here without you. I‘m not going to abandon you. Never.
They share a moment of pure love.
ROSE
Fuck it. Come on. Let’s go back home.
CHRIS
Yeah?
ROSE
Yeah. I mean, you’re right. This sucks. I’ll go back with you. I’ll make something up.
CHRIS
I love you.
ROSE
I love you too.
The two get up and walk back toward the house.
EXT. FRONT LAWN - DUSK
Chris and Rose approach the house as the last of the guests get into their cars and drive off. The fireflies are out.
CHRIS
That was fast.
ROSE
Yeah.
The guests wave to Dean and Missy, who stand at the front door, and then to Chris and Rose. Lisa Deets, the trophy wife, is tipsy. Nelson is in their car.
LISA
Bye Chris! It was a pleasure meeting you. I hope you--Chris and Rose wave.
NELSON
Come on, Lisa. Before you say something stupid.
Chris laughs. Walter shuts the car door behind Lisa. Walter stands pleasantly watching the cars leave. He turns to Chris with the same ‘ol smile. Chris and Rose enter the house.
INT. ARMITAGE BATHROOM - DUSK
Sink running. Chris washes his hands and looks in the mirror.
His phone SIGNALS a text message from Rod. It’s picture from the internet of witches in a circle around a man being sacrificed followed by the text message. “You dead yet?” Chris
texts back. “Bruh, you have no idea.” He finds the picture he took of Logan/Andre on his phone and sends it.
Moments later, his phone vibrates.
