How to resolve H.W.'s conflict(Refer: My Fanfic draft Script posted: 28th April)
Scenario 1:H.W. (angry deperately lonely, tired and confused) -should he return to Little Boston Prison to visit his father (Daniel) one more time..... Danial is awaiting his sentence by hanging.
Scenario 2: Since the receiving the news of his Fathers arrest for the murder of his wife's brother H.W. has not spoken to either his wife or anyone. He is withdrawn and living at the Basecamp Rig drilling deeper into his anger,loneliness ....
Final scene:
[Continuation: H.W. has not spoken to Mary about Daniel and the imminent murder trial. Mary has on several occasion tried to broach the subject to travel to Little Boston to speak with his father(& her Father -in-law) only to have H.W. rush out of the home and stay away at the Basecamp Rig days on end.
******The fields approaching the Basecamp – Overcast day, dusty windy wet day
Mary running across the fields from home towards Basecamp, her long flowing skirt hitched up in her hand. She reaches the basecamp and walks into H.W.’s office.
MARY: I’ve just had word from Fletcher (Daniel’s ex- right hand man and their friend) –Father has been convicted of Ely’s murder and sentenced to death a sentence!
H.W: I will kill the old man myself! Let me have that pleasure………….. ( running/shouting into the oil field)
***FINAL SCENE: MARY finds H.W. packing a few things in a bag. She hands him a blade
Mary: I’m done! there’s to be no more blood! I will come with you on those grounds -you decide.
H.W. breaks down. There’s a similarity in the manner that Ely curl’s up when he was bashed to death by Daniels. Fans of “THERE WILL BE BLOOD” will recognise the similarity though different setting, different circumstances and the conflict is not ‘Greed’ as in his father’s case but ‘Anger’ for H.W.
Screen fades to black and sound of train and credits.
The audience is left to decide the outcome!!! Was H.W. on train alone to take revenge or Mary with him?
The audience is left to decide the outcome!!! ( as Movie credits scroll to end).
((Without original dialogue of script )about 1150 words-have to check on final edit))

Thanks for your encouragement but I'm not very happy with the ending and rethinking it.
