FADE IN.
HOMELESS MAN
I've got one in my pocket.
ANDREW
So where's your coin bucket? Not
every day you come across a
homeless psychic.
HOMELESS MAN
Who needs money when your secret is
priceless?
Beat.
ANDREW
Secret?
HOMELESS MAN
What all life is made of...

CUT TO FLASHBACK:
WHAM! Andrew jerks his head to the road. THUMP! THUMP! THUMP!
The boy's limbs crack and contort under the rolling car.
ANDREW
How did you know about that?
HOMELESS MAN
I need you to listen, Andrew. But
the only way you can do that...

ANDREW (CONT'D)
What's the hell is going on here?
Who are you?
HOMELESS MAN
If you'd had a puff, you wouldn't
be so paranoid.
ANDREW (CONT'D)
(whisper)
I wanna know. Now.
HOMELESS MAN
Not here.
ANDREW
What? What does that mean?
HOMELESS MAN
It means you've got eyes on you.
ANDREW
(pleading)
What do you want?
HOMELESS MAN
Why don't you get your car? And
I'll let you see.

He sets his foot on the first step, then streams after the
old man inside.
ANDREW
What is this?

you. So have a seat.
ANDREW
This doesn't make any sense.

ANDREW
I had to. My son. They were on the
playground.
ANDREW (CONT'D)
They said it was an accident... but
that boy. I had to do something to
that boy.
ANDREW (CONT'D)
All the pain killing my mind... I
wanted him to feel it.
CU on Homeless Man.
ANDREW (O.S.)
That's... that's all I can tell
you.
HOMELESS MAN
I'm not here for vindication. And
I'm no judge, Andrew.
ANDREW
Then... Who - who are you?
HOMELESS MAN
I am also one of the guilty.
ANDREW
(whisper)
Who?
HOMELESS MAN
Pray your calling isn't soon.
