Lou Page #20

---

Inatomi pulls up a chair and clicks on a RECORDER.

INATOMI:

Let’s start at the beginning. Who

was Lou?

HANNAH:

She was my landlord.

INATOMI:

Did you know anything else about

her?

Beat.

HANNAH:

She was a good landlord.

INATOMI:

More specifically, is there

anything that can explain the past

few days?

HANNAH:

Yeah.

113.

Inatomi motions for her to keep talking.

HANNAH (CONT’D)

She’s Lou.

SUDDENLY -- the door BURSTS OPEN as Deacon enters, dodging

Berry’s reach.

DEACON:

I came as soon as I heard.

(turns to Rankin)

Where’s Bigfoot?

KAYCEE:

For Christ’s sake Deacon!

DEACON:

I mean, I’m glad everyone’s okay.

(beat, to Rankin)

Is he-

RANKIN:

He’s at the station. He’s fine.

Rankin reaches into his pocket, retrieves Bigfoot’s keys and

throws them to Deacon.

INT. LOU’S BEDROOM (LOU’S HOUSE) - WEEKS LATER

Hannah balances on a cane, watching Kaycee and Vee playing in

the backyard from Lou’s bedroom window. Behind her, the

floorboards have been removed.

INT. LIVING ROOM (LOU’S HOUSE) - MINUTES LATER

Hannah limps past the fire place. Something catches her eye.

She bends down, reaching into the ashes. She pulls out a

charred piece of a BLACK AND WHITE PHOTOGRAPH.

ANGLE ON PHOTO--

A YOUNG LOU looks into the camera, holding an infant. She is

neither happy or sad. She’s Lou.

INT. KITCHEN (LOU’S HOUSE) - NIGHT

The burnt picture is taped to the refrigerator. The BANK

ENVELOPES sit on the kitchen table. Stuffed with cash. Kaycee

sits beside them, shaking her head.

KAYCEE:

Guess she wasn’t so bad after all.

114.

Hannah nods, reaching for a plate of DEFROSTED VENISON. She

drops the raw meat onto a hot skillet. It SIZZLES.

KAYCEE (CONT’D)

I thought you were vegetarian?

HANNAH:

It shouldn’t go to waste. It’s good

meat.

She flips the venison. And lets out a SHARP WHISTLE. A moment

later, Vee and JAX, MINUS HIS BACK LEG, run into the kitchen.

Hannah plates the meat and sets it on the floor. She watches

Jax gobble it up, licking his bloody lips.

HANNAH (CONT’D)

Hm.

FADE TO BLACK.
