PIECES OF ME - JULY 2020 87 .
EXT . BACKYARD
Heavier rain . Mary lies in pieces next to a deep , muddy hole . Eli pushes body parts into the pit with a SPLASH , until there ’ s nothing left .
Finally , he tosses the pocketknife . Problem solved . He gets back to work shoveling dirt .
PULL BACK TO REVEAL : Patrick watching from a window .
INT . FOYER
Teen 2 steps inside . He removes a pistol from his hoodie pocket . It ’ s go time .
EXT . STREET
The hatchback passes a freeway sign . Moments later , a police cruiser speeds in the opposite direction , with its lights flashing and siren screaming .
INT ./ EXT . HATCHBACK
Sophie watches the cruiser disappear in her rearview mirror , as she ’ s pelted by more rain .
A tense beat .
SOPHIE SHIT ! SHIT ! SHIT !
She punches the wheel and makes an illegal U-turn .
INT . CHILD ’ S BEDROOM There ’ s knocking .
No answer .
GORDON ( O . S .) Patrick ? Ready for bed ? Want a quick story ?
He opens the door and scowls .
EXT . GORDON ’ S FRONT YARD Gordon exits the house and calls for his son . Still nothing .
