BETH(16)is sitting on her haunches at her stepfather’s shoe rack digging into his shoes looking for something. She sniffs and fidgets.

Beat...

CREAK! BETH whips her head around paranoid, eyes wide. Her eyes shift. NO ONE IN SIGHT.

Beat...

BETH turns her attention back on her stepfather’s shoe rack. She digs into a pair of Birkenstocks. Her eyes light up, jackpot. She pulls out a ziplock baggy full of cocaine, mainly rock.

SEBASTIAN steps into frame smoking a cigar and holding a can of gasoline, leering down at JOE...

SEBASTIAN

I treat everyone with respect, but I always have a plan to kill them.

SEBASTIAN pours the entire can of gasoline on JOE.

Beat...

SEBASTIAN (CONT'D)

You smoke?

SEBASTIAN tosses the cigar on JOE engulfing him in flames. He Screams. SEBASTIAN howls like a sadistic beast.

SMASH CUT TO:

EXT. GRIMY CITY STREET - SEWER DRAIN - NIGHT - FLASHBACK - LATER

RUDY sits on the pavement with his hands braced against the road. He power kicks JOE’S crispy burnt body into the sewer drain.
