EXTERIOR FARM
PUSHING IN OVER TOP of a farmer's field full of golden long
wheat
ANIA (VO)
When I was in grade school the
other girls would force my face
into the mud, and tell me to eat it
because they said I liked the taste
of shit.
The focus of this shot is on an OLD WOOD BARN in the mid
ground.
CHYRON
Outside of Reykjavik.
Off to the sides, we see a FUTURISTIC HARVESTER, hovering
above the fields, at work.

INSIDE THE BARN
WIDE SHOT DOWN LOW looking at the interior of the barn.
It's big and open. All wooden style with a few hints of
futuristic technology.
ANIA (VO)
They convinced the boys in high
school to rub their semen on my
locker door.
ANIA (VO)
They said they were doing me a
favor, because I had no dad.
Near the middle of one side of the wall, we see that ANIA is
STRAPPED down to a long wooden board on legs, that looks like
it's been built just for this purpose. It's slightly at an
incline. The straps are leather, and fixed around her wrists
and legs individually. Perhaps intended for another reason...
PIRES
You see that Clara? That's the bad
lady that daddy was talking about.
Standing next to Ania, but hovering above her is PIRES and a
little girl. This is Pires's daughter, CLARA (4).
ANIA (VO)
People tell you that changes after
high school. That the bullies
magically disappear. They're wrong.
Pires is holding down a piece of jerky to a small pig, that
eats from the end of it.
PIGS run around errantly in the foreground, eating slop.
PANEL 3
MEDIUM CLOSE UP On Pires as he bends over slightly, hands on
his thighs, in a fatherly way to talk to Clara

Clara cheated towards her, looking at her, Pires still bent
over, talking to Clara
Clara looks at Ania, a bit scared of her
PIRES
You see how she lashes out. She's
got what we call a sharp tongue.
Should we teach that sharp tongue
of hers a lesson?
CLARA
Are you going to send her away
daddy?
PIRES
We could, but don't you think
she'll just hurt some other poor
little girl like yourself?

CLARA

Careful with that. It's very very
sharp. You don't want to cut
yourself.
CLARA
I don't like sharp things, Papa.

It’s time for you to grow up,
Clara. Now put that knife in
between her toes. Right here, on
that webbed part.

lady knows where all the other bad
people are hiding. It's called
Camp2, and they have a relativity
machine.
(beat)
You could even use that machine to
bring mommy back.
CLARA

When can we bring mommy back?

old, some with war scars, or mechanical appendages.
PANEL 3
OVER THE SHOULDER OF Sufan, as he walks towards a man seated
at a table, looking up to him and us. This is JON VISCOUNT.
VISCOUNT
Sufan.
Standing behind the table, between them, is a giant
TAXIDERMY BLACK BEAR, standing up on its hind legs, GROWLING,
belly right up against the table. It's somewhat unnerving.
There's also SMALL FAT CAT lying on the table between them,
in front of the bear. It's the only LIVING animal in this
entire place, and it's decided to pick their table to lick
its own butthole at the moment

the treaty.

In the foreground is a SHADY GUY drinking a beer, cheated
towards camera, but clearly eavesdropping in on the

VISCOUNT
No offense Sufan, but Aaran was
always picking fights. Maybe this
time he picked a fight not suited
to an old man.
SUFAN
The bodies of Anjan Carn and a dead
Cino gang were also found at the
Chalet. You know who Anjan Carn
is.

roaring bear taking up most of the spotlight in the middle.

No one is stupid enough to try and
build a device that will give them
absolute power? Really Jon?

What proof do you have?

up Viscount's little puddle of beer on the table now
