A Most Violent Year Page #4
He gets out of the car and stands there looking at the large
house. He walks into the house and we see more clearly that
it is nearing completion. It is empty.
ABEL walks over to the massive floor-to-ceiling windows and
stands looking over the large pond that sits down the hill
from the house. As he stares out his CONTRACTOR comes quietly
walking in behind him.
CONTRACTOR:
Hello?
ABEL:
There he is.
He walks up behind him and they both look out in silence for
a beat.
ABEL (CONT’D)
You have done a beautiful job here.
CONTRACTOR:
Thank you.
ABEL:
I mean it. You and your men should
be very proud.
CONTRACTOR:
We are.
ABEL:
Most people don’t have anything
beautiful like this to show for
their day’s work. You are a lucky
man.
CONTRACTOR:
I am.
ABEL:
Well I thank you... my family will
be very happy here.
CONTRACTOR:
I hope so.
ABEL:
Now I think I owe you some money.
CONTRACTOR:
That may be true.
ABEL:
It is.
ABEL reaches into his jacket pocket and takes out a thick
envelope of cash. As he does we see a transformation of his
personality from pleasant philosopher to a direct voice of
unquestioned authority.
ABEL (CONT’D)
This is the seventeen outstanding.
But we are arriving here in four
days. It must be done.
CONTRACTOR:
Yes.
ABEL:
Well, I’ll let you go.
He says this as he leads him to the door.
ABEL (CONT’D)
And the tile in the master bath...

CONTRACTOR:
It’s being replaced, as I mentioned
to your wife, that was an error on
our part. Congratulations on your
home.
ABEL:
Thank you.
EXT. TOP OF HILL ON OTHER SIDE OF POND LOOKING BACK AT HIS
HOUSE. - DAY
ABEL stands, surrounded by massive trees in the thick forest,
looking across the ridge back at his house. He is a little
out of breath after climbing the hill but he looks strangely
comfortable even though he is standing in the woods in a
suit, tie, and dress shoes. He takes a nice cigar out of his
pocket, lights it and has a real moment of joy. He looks up
to the tops of the trees, then back at the new house. He
exhales a long deep breath. Then we hear a large truck come
rumbling in the driveway. He hears it. His face shows that he
knows the sound immediately.
ABEL comes out of the woods and sees a smaller heating oil
delivery truck (with the same Standard Heating Oil logo)
parked in the driveway. His face shows it probably isn’t
great news.
INT. HOSPITAL EMERGENCY ROOM - DAY
ABEL comes down a hallway and then turns through a curtain
into a treatment area. Sitting on the table is the young
driver of the truck, JULIAN.
