Manhunter Page #2

MOLLY:

You mended a crack in the wallpaper

with your diploma.

(heat)

You are open and easy now... It took

you a lot of work to get to that...

GRAHAM:

We have it good, don't we?

MOLLY:

All the things that happened to you

before make you know that...

There is a soft pleading in her voice.

GRAHAM:

What the hell can I do?

MOLLY:

(after a pause)

What you've already decided. You're

not really asking.

GRAHAM:

If I were?

MOLLY:

(facing him)

Stay here with me. Me. Me. Me.

And Kevin.

(heat)

That's selfish, huh?

GRAHAM:

(touches the side

of her face)

I don't care.

(beat>

He'll never see me or know my name.

If we find him, the police will have

to take him down. Not me, I'm just

looking at evidence.

5.

As he puts an arm around Molly...

CUT TO:

EXT. BEACH - KEVIN - TWILIGHT

is working in the sand. Behind him Graham is stapling

chicken wire to two foot-high fence posts.

KEVIN:

Will it keep them out?

GRAHAM:

Yeah. ..

KEVIN:

How many turtle eggs you think are

in here?

GRAHAM:

In this hatchery? Forty to fifty.

KEVIN:

Crabs would get most of the newborns

before they made it to the sea, huh?

GRAHAM:

Yeah, but not now.. These will all

make it... guaranteed.

CUT TO:

EXT. GRAHAM HOUSE - CRAWFORD + MOLLY - NIGHT

On the porch swing. Beyond them at the water's edge Graham

nothing to each other the fence. Crawford and Molly say

or a while. Then, finally:

MOLLY:

Whatever I say, you'll take him

away, won't you?
