Two Winters Past


Scene 43

EXT. FOREST

POPPER shoots over Valentine's shoulder. VALENTINE turns to see the target, but the crashing has stopped and nothing emerges. VALENTINE looks back to Popper.

VALENTINE: (holding up PISTOL) Want to show me how to use this?

POPPER takes PISTOL, chambers a round. POPPER returns PISTOL to Valentine.

POPPER: Semi-auto. Pull the trigger, it shoots. Save them, he already emptied most of the clip.

Three monsters break the tree line, rushing at POPPER and VALENTINE. VALENTINE aims, struggles with the trigger. POPPER shoots twice, dropping one of the monsters. A second is hit in the chest but doesn’t fall.

POPPER: Run!

They run. Valentine tries to shoot.

VALENTINE: It won’t shoot!

POPPER: Gimmie!

VALENTINE tosses PISTOL to POPPER and continues running. POPPER stops and opens fire, killing one of the monsters, but the other is unaffected by its wounds.

The hammer falls on an empty chamber. POPPER hurls the empty PISTOL at the monster and runs.

The monster is closing. POPPER passes VALENTINE, who is winded.

POPPER: Keep moving, brother, or we aren’t going to make it.

Looking over VALENTINE’s shoulder as he runs, the monster is almost able to grab him.

Gunshot blows apart the monster’s head. VALENTINE dives and covers. POPPER stops, doubled over, pointing and laughing. On the bridge, a man is waving. He is DOAN.

POPPER: Talk about luck, kid. Come on, before it runs out.
