A bench sits out here. Behind it is a bare tree, home to a

few blackbirds. David brushes some snow off the bench.

Kyle's about to sit when a SOUND jars her: those BLACKBIRDS,

flying noisily away. She watches them as they go...

INT. MORTUARY - EVENING (RESUMING FLASHBACK)

Kyle stands, immobile, as the Mortuary Director closes the

casket, and we get our first glimpse of who's inside:

...a 40 year-old man. David. His face heavily made-up.

MORTUARY DIRECTOR (IN GERMAN)

We did all we could. But there was

some trauma, to the head.

Kyle tightens... The casket SHUTS... and David is gone.

EXT. APARTMENT - COURTYARD - NIGHT

Kyle stands, very much alone, that same umbrella in her hand.

No company. No David. A single set of footprints in the snow

lead to this bench.

Her eyes begin to moisten, but it might be from the stinging

cold - hard to say. She shuts them. CONTINUE INTERCUT:

INT. MORTUARY - EVENING - (RESUMING FLASHBACK)

There's an ELECTRONIC LOCK on the now-closed CASKET, awaiting

input from her. It's blinking green.

MORTUARY DIRECTOR

Your code, bitte.

Kyle shakes her head, making herself function... enters six

digits into the electronic lock... until the lock blinks red.

END INTERCUT.

INT. KYLE'S APARTMENT - LIVING ROOM - NIGHT

Darkness, pierced by a single lamp. We see MOVING BOXES, lots

of them, in rows on a Living Room floor. High ceilings, large

radiators beneath the windows, hardwood underfoot.

...and ten huge FLORAL ARRANGEMENTS, relegated to a corner.

And an answering machine with "27 Messages" on it.

INT. KYLE'S APT. ENTRY/FRONT DOOR - SAME (NIGHT)

A woman lingers by the front door, tears in her eyes. She is

KAROLINA - 50, Polish, a nanny.

Kyle is a few feet away. The feeling couldn't be more somber.

KYLE:

It's not impossible, Karolina. I've

already made a few calls.

KAROLINA:

Thank you.

KYLE:

There are working Visas. The State

Department issues them.

Karolina tries to smile, but she clearly believes that this

is the last time she'll ever see Kyle again.

KYLE (CONT'D)

She's so attached to you.
