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.

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.

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.
