JEREMY:

Mom even cried.

David looks at Megan's eyes.

JEREMY:

A lot.

Megan looks away.

MEGAN:

Not a lot.

They stand there for a moment. David looks shaken. Jeremy takes hold of his hand.

JEREMY:

Let's go home.

Megan nods. They move to the exit. The pack of cameras and reporters burst to

life as they leave the building. They jockey for position to get a last glimpse

of David Dunne.

CUT TO:

INT. KITCHEN - NIGHT

David eats a bowl of pasta alone in a modest kitchen. He stares at his hand.

Opens and closes it slowly. Beat.

He rises and puts the bowl away in the sink.

INT. FRONT HALL - NIGHT

David stops just before rising the stairs. He glances into a bedroom at the

bottom of the stairs. The doorway is half open. He makes eye contact with his

wife. Beat.

DAVID:

I don't think I got the job

in New York.

MEGAN:

What does that mean?

DAVID:

I'm still going to New York.

Just not this second.

MEGAN:

I don't want to drag this

out too long for Jeremy.

DAVID:

I know.

Beat.

DAVID:

How about in the meantime,

you don't sleep in the

guestroom anymore?

(beat)

You sleep in our room. I'll

sleep down here.

Beat.

MEGAN:

It stopped being our room a

long time ago.

(beat)

You should go up and get

some rest.

Beat. Megan slowly closes the door to the guest bedroom.

CUT TO:

INT. BEDROOM - NIGHT

David looks at his son asleep in his bed.

DAVID:

Jeremy, why don't you go

sleep with your mom?

JEREMY(eyes closed)

I want to sleep here

tonight.

DAVID:

I think it's be better if I

was alone.

JEREMY(eyes closed)

I won't make any noise.

DAVID:

How about your room then? If

you get scared like before,

you can come back in here?

Beat. Jeremy doesn't answer because he's asleep. David rubs his forehead and gets

up. He turns on the t.v., low volume, as he moves into the bathroom.

CUT TO:

INT. BATHROOM - NIGHT

Hot water rushes over David's face as he stands in the shower. His attention is

drawn to the t.v. which is seen through the slightly open bathroom door.

He turns off the water to HEAR.
