I know what they want and it’s
               not me.
               (BEAT)
               They walk. You don’t see them.
                Shay is crouched on the floors beside Crash.
                SHANNON
               I’m getting help.
                Scrambles up and grabs the grey cordless on the table.
               Trembling hands dial 99 before a large hand clamps over
               hers and takes the phone away.
               28.
               CRASH
               Don’t bother. Everything’s dead,
               phones, cars, doors lock behind
               you. Can’t get out, can’t get
               help.
               PAUL
               No pressure but I’m bleeding out
               here!
               Blood has run down his shirt and is slowly beginning to
               pool around him. It is leaking through the fingers he has
               pressed to the wounds.
                SHANNON
               We have to try.
                She takes the phone back and presses a button.
               CABIN PORCH - CONTINUOUS -EXT
               Paul is staring at the crack and the eyes peering through
               it.
                SHANNON (O.S.)
               We have to try.
               The breathing behind him is getting closer and more
               laboured.
               E.C.U. - His eyes fly as far to the left as they can but he
               cannot see what is there. Tries to move his head to see
               but instead sees the image in a window of a silver wolf.
               The creature turns and latches bright blue eyes onto him.
               A total hush falls. Eye contact is broken when -
               CRASH
               We can’t stop him dying.
               Whatever we do.
               29.
               WOODS - LATE AFTERNOON - EXT
               The trees rustle and Lee pushes a branch away, dragging
               through a thin ground cover of autumn leaves.  Sweat
               shimmers on her brow.
                She digs the stick in the ground and leans on it, catching
               her breath. Lee looks around the surrounding trees. They
               are shedding leaves at an alarming rate.  She drops her
               stick and begins to jog through the woods, ducking dying
               branches, losing visibility through the leaves.
