GLEN:

I figured I’d best, you know, take

myself off. She doesn’t want

writers around the place now. And

police, autopsies, not my thing -

ANDY:

You can’t run away.

GLEN:

I’m not running away! I just

finished my book; my time here is

up. Destiny calls.

ANDY:

Beth is asking for you.

GLEN:

She’s... Really?

ANDY:

She’s on her own over there. Glen,

she doesn’t need a writer around

the place. She needs a man.

175 INT. DAY. STONEFIELD - THE KITCHEN. 175

Beth is sitting, still pale with shock, her hands around a

mug of tea. Glen approaches.

GLEN:

I’m so sorry.

Beth looks up at him despairingly.

GLEN:

Do they... suspect anyone? I mean

of like Foul Play?

BETH:

It was my fault. I let the dog go!

GLEN:

No, no...

BETH:

I shooed him away! The police said

it was an accident but...

GLEN *

It wasn’t your fault! *

BETH *

What I don’t understand is why was

he in that field anyway? He hated

cows. And when they were coming,

why didn’t he get out of their way?

GLEN:

Beth. I have to tell you...

GOLDENROD REVISIONS 20.10.09 110-111.

For a moment, confession and silence hang in the balance.

Glen opens his mouth to speak.

GLEN (CONT'D)

You live in the country. You share

it with those dangerous beasts. And

when they’re scared, they run. Like

we do...

Glen is full of horror at his lie.

But Beth is only grateful.

BETH:

Glen. Stay with me.

Her eyes, still red with grief, are full of their future

together.

Glen nods. He will stay. He wants it all.

Beth leans into him, seeking comfort. He puts his arms around

her, his face ashen with the weight of his secret.

As he holds her, he looks around the room. Nicholas is

everywhere, glaring down at him from photographs.

176 EXT. EVENING. WINNARDS FARM - THE GARDEN. 176

Tamara is in the garden, a strip on her nose. She sees Andy

in the dusk. He’s leaning against the gate watching her.

TAMARA:

Don’t say anything.

ANDY:

Kind of suits you. And I always did

like the old one.

They are in each others arms. The embrace lasts and lasts.

Tamara is leading Andy up to the house.

TAMARA:

You did it on purpose, didn’t you?

ANDY:

What?

TAMARA:

Made it so beautiful I’d never be

able to leave.

ANDY:

Been dying to get rid of you. This

is my house. I was born in that

room.

TAMARA:

So you were.

They are at the threshold. They kiss.

TAMARA (CONT'D)

Welcome home.

THE END.
