FADE IN:
INT. HALVORSEN HOUSE, KITCHEN, MILLWOOD PA, 5:47 AM
A small kitchen. Linoleum. A round analog clock above the
refrigerator with a gold rim. The minute hand makes the small
click that minute hands make when no one is listening for it.
JAMES HALVORSEN (52) stands at the counter in a flannel shirt
and grey sweatpants, eating cold meatloaf out of a
Tupperware. He is lean. The hair is short and grey at the
temples. He has the careful posture of a man who once carried
weight on his shoulders and remembers the load.
The furnace cycles in the basement. A click, a low rush.
Halvorsen rinses his fork at the sink. Places it in the dish
rack next to two coffee mugs. Picks up a worn leather
messenger bag from the kitchen chair. Slings it over his
shoulder.
He looks at the ceiling. The bedroom is up there. He listens
for a moment. There is no sound.
He goes out the side door without turning on the upstairs
light.
