13th of May... 4:25 p.m.
4:25. 7-11 for cigerettes. I guess he heard A COFFEE MUG A CRACK OF THUNDER! A DEVASTATING EXPLOSION ERUPTS across the cabin, blasting a five foot hole in the fuseluge. Human limbs and blood spray, craft and passengers torn to shreds.
A HOME PREGNANCY TEST A LOUD BANG turns Alex’s head to the window! A METAL CAN A P.A. ANNOUNCMENT breaks into the song... A PIECE OF PAPER A POWER LINE A Paris guidebook is tossed atop the plane ticket. CAMERA PUSHES IN ON THE BOOK as the fan’s breezes flip through the pages. A REALLY fucked-up God. A bright, colorful arrangment of flowers is carefully placed into a vase. CAMERA ADJUSTS to REVEAL Alex’s bedroom is now lived in by Clear and the baby. Clear makes the final adjustment in the arrangement, then checks the sleeping baby in the bassinet. A computer graphic illustrations the area of the lower fuselage. A couple of weeks. A faint light spills from beneath a doorway. Clear reaches out to the knob but Alex quickly grabs her hand. From a cart behind them, he pulls a latex glove out of a box and snaps it on. A figure steps into the drivers side window, from the rear. The two agents are startled as Clear Rivers leans into FRAME. She pauses, gauging their trustworthiness, then.. A final piece of duct tape is applied to the corner of the table, dulling any sharp edges. Even though it is sunny outside, all the shades are pulled. The room sits in dark shadows broken by occasional bright shafts of light.
A half dozen MEN and WOMEN enter the room, displaying official badges and passes. All but two are dressed in casual clothing, having been called in from home; the pair being F.B.I. Special Agents WEINE and SCHRECK. HOWARD SEIGEL and DON HAWKS are representatives of the National Transportation Safety Board. EILEEN WHALE and JACK ARNOLD are members of the Euro-Air “Trauma Team.”
A hand ENTERS FRAME, fingers hover in space before they gently trace over “Terry Chaney.” CAMERA ADJUSTS TO REVEAL Carter Horton, staring at the name. Alone, he allows himself the moment to grieve. Carter glances up to find Clear approaching with the baby in the stroller. A hand reaches out to gently detain Alex. He looks up to find a HARE KRISHANA, dressed in everyday clothes. Head shaved and a mark on his nose.
A headline catches his attention. CAMERA INCHES IN ON HIM, tense, while THUNDER RUMBLES. As he unrolls the paper, his expression is rocked... anxious... he cocks his head to consider... recalling... as CAMERA PUSHES ALL THE WAY INTO...
A little more. Little more!
A locomotive headlight arcs across the trees... approaching.
A lone desk lamp shines. Across the room, laying on a porcelain table, fluid draining tubes attached, lies Tod. A sheet is pulled up to his shoulders. He carries the macabre appearence of a corspe having been made up by a mortician. Hair combed and sprayed, skin tone too orange, blush too rouge and lips too red.
A lone light glows. Jerry Waggner has fallen asleep, perhaps passed out, reclined in “dad’s chair.” Tod’s mother is asleep on the sofa, balls of tissue on the floor. Tod enters the room and stares sadly at his parents...
A male flight attendant choke holds Carter from the back. Carter struggles but the attendant’s postioning has the advantage. He begins removing Carter from the plane as well.
A man, early thirties, holds a six year old girl in his arms, waving at the camera. Both appear happy and alive. They are standing before the cabin surrounded by the thick woods. A mid-eighties Corolla is parked amongst Clear’s artwork. A door, adjacent to the kitchen flies open. Clear hustles through, running to the car and entering via the passenger door, for the sake of expediency. A pair of Airline REPRESENTATIVES sit with the seven survivors, each numb with shock. Everyone is too raw with residual fear to show any emotion. They sit on folding metal chairs in an empty room, too bright from the fluorescent lights. Beneath their obvious trauma resulting from the catastrophe... each feels uneasy by Alex’s presence.
A pair of worn Nikes ENTER FRAME just as the leaf drops before them. The feet and CAMERA HOLD until CRANING UP to REVEAL Alex... staring at the leaf with an expression reminiscent of the torn paper’s message about “...Tod.” A piece of debris... from the plane. A pink circle fills THE ENTIRE FRAME.
A place where our friends are still
A posted sign indicates “ACCIDENT SITE. ANY DEBRIS FOUND SHOULD BE REPORTED TO THE NTSB (212) 555-NTSB.” CAMERA FINDS Carter’s car pulling up to a stop. Clear opens the passenger door and pauses in the car a while...
A raw nerve, Alex stands.
A shard of lightning breaks across the front yard. Oddly, it does not make contact. In the split-second strobe of lightning flash, the bolt abstractly appears as if it were a hand pointing directly at Alex. A soft summer breeze passes through the leaves on a tree. A yellow leaf drops from the branch and flutters to the ground. CAMERA FOLLOWS until it falls upon an old cracked sidewalk.
A somewhat cherry 70’s muscle car speeds in the direction of the Starbucks. Carter Horton is driving. Terry Chaney rides shotgun. Carter looks out the window. A spark in the fuel switch... A student with a guitar and harmonica stands at the microphone. Without introduction, he begins Neil Young’s ‘Long May You Run.’

AND YOU AIN’T TAKIN’ ME WITH YOU!
ANOTHER PART OF THE FOREST - SCHRECK
ARC violently striking the ground and each other. Each line whips
After Billy... it’s me. And then you.
After hearing you, just now... I do Agents Schreck and Weine stand before Clear in her garage. Ahhh! fuck! You fucking... Ohmygod! OHMYGOD! OHMYGOD!
Airline’s not taking this very well.
Alex absently nods. Again, O.S., CLACK CLACK CLACK. His eyes move to... Alex angrily glares at Clear. Clear drops her tone. Alex appears unaware as he simply runs past Billy, who curiously turns his head to watch Alex race up the street. O.S., the CRACKLING OF FIRE. CAMERA MOVES INTO Billy as he turns back, reacting with shock to Ms. Lewton’s house. Alex approaches the front of the house. From here, nothing appears to be wrong. As he catches his breath, sweating, visually examining the house. Alex charges out the front door, leaping over the steps. O.S., SEVERAL CARS APPROACH, headlights pan across the trees. Alex stops dead in his tracks and runs off into the woods, just as the F.B.I umarked sedan and three Sheriff 4x4s THUNDER up to the cabin, siren lights swirling.
Alex checks over his shoulder.
Alex climbs over Tod to take the window seat. Clear Rivers sits in the seat directly behind Alex.
Alex completes his question by raising his hand, a la Tod’s dead body. Bludworth nods, understanding...
Alex considers as Clear eyes him, conveying “this guys’s whacked!” Alex moves toward Bludworth...
Alex considers, mind racing... then realizes... Alex crames up into the aisles, making his way to Tod, sitting two rows up in 22 H. Alex exits the police station, walking. He checks over his shoulder to see if he is being watched and increases his pace, legs whipping across FRAME... Alex extends his hands. O.S., CARS approach THUNDEROULSY...
Alex eyes her for a long beat. She turns away from him, returning the can of turpentine to a shelf.
Alex eyes the new tag hoping it’s “good luck.” As the clerk returns his ticket and passport... CLACK, CLACK, CLACK. Alex eyes them... hesitant to respond. Alex flashes Billy an angry glare. He gets the message and moves off, for good. Alex returns in line, moving toward the memorial.
Alex flips the magazine open to a centerfold.
Alex gathers his bags, as does his best friend TOD WAGGNER and his older brother GEORGE WAGGNER, standing before their father, JERRY WAGGNER. For Alex, any psychic tension from the night before seems forgotten in the fun and excitement of the trip
Alex gently touches the piece of the plane, almost expecting to feel something more than cold metal. He looks to Clear...
Alex grabs Carter by the shoulders and strains with all his might to pull the much more muscular kid out of the driver’s window.
Alex grabs her arm, starting toward the door. Alex grabs the knife and pulls it out. He quickly removes another and another... yet there is no reaction from the woman. Alex hangs his head... Alex has moved closer to her house, remaining in the shadows. He checks for any passers-by. Being sure there are none, he creeps toward Ms. Lewton’s car. He visually inspects the exterior. As he kicks the tires... an unmarked sedan SCREECHES up. Doors open...
Alex holds Carter by the shirt at the shoulders, dragging him away from the wreckage. The two boys collapse on the road as the trian continues to ROAR PAST...
Alex hustles around the drivers’ side. CAMERA SWEEPS INTO THEM as Alex desperately tries freeing the seatbelt.
Alex is desperately climbing over Tod, who is trying to calmly restrain his friend. Across the aisle, Carter Horton stands ready to quiet Alex, with force.
Alex is increasingly uncomfortable with the subject, but eased by Clear’s apparent, somewhat, understanding. Lowering his tone...
Alex is insulted by the condescending tone.
Alex is not as smooth as his socius criminus. Using his knee to slow his descent, he hangs from the sill for a moment before dropping to the carpet.
Alex is puzzeled by the comment. He shakes his head if, “pardon me?” CAMERA INCHES INTO the ticket clerk gesturing pleasantly to the passport and ticket... Alex is rocked as if having taken a punch to the face. Mr. Waggner begins to walk toward the peramedics vehicle. Alex eyes the F.B.I. agents, who, after studying for a beat, turn and move toward their vehicle.
Alex is shattered as the teacher moves away. Tod ENTERS and faces the memorial. Alex is still considering the “messages...” Alex is stung, guilty. He averts his eyes. Schreck and Weine note this reaction. Alex is stunned, defensive.
Alex is taken aback by the question, yet even his best friend looks at him for an answer.
Alex is taken aback, hurt and angry.
Alex is unaware that Clear is watching him, searching for some answer that she will not now find. She looks up.
Alex leans back and sighs, relieved...
Alex looks at Bludworth...
Alex looks at Clear as if experiencing an intense epiphany.
Alex looks at Clear, her expression asking the same question...
Alex looks at Tod, who nods. His friend’s expression is soothing and open. With lowered tense tone, meant for only the two people beside him... Alex looks off toward a small unkept house, nestled at the edge of the woods. In the open garage stands Clear Rivers amongst cluttered artwork, supplies and tools. Her t-shirt’s sleeves have been cut off and neck-line cut low. Her jeans have a revealing hole at the spot which once was a back pocket. She wears heavy black work shoes. A dog rests nearby on the floor.
Alex looks to Clear, then kisses her with a passion that reflects the defiance of death. He pulls open her shirt and falls into her arms. CAMERA CRANES UP as the young man and woman make love in the sand... consciously and defiantly oblivious, to anything around them... including the stars, possibly Flight 180, up above.
Alex looks up ahead of the metal detectors... Alex looks up, stunned. He didn’t even recall this until now.
Alex looks within her, as a soft ocean breeze blows through Clear’s hair.
Alex nods and buckles it. Barbara reaches in to tear off an airline baggage I.D. ticket attached from the previous flight.
Alex nods, feeling she’s understanding.
Alex notices Tod is in line behind him. Alex looks around for Tod’s father. He is not in line...
Alex quickly grabs the remote and turns up the VOLUME...
Alex quickly runs the day through his head and flashes her the REALITY BEYOND MATTER book. She smiles, then leans over toward the baggage scales. Alex’s eyes turn toward...
Alex raises his eyes and looks across the ceremony...
Alex reaches the backyard. CAMERA PUSHES IN as he quickly tries to deduce the deadly situation. HE RUNS OUT OF FRAME...
Alex reacts, shocked and yet her impulsiveness is exciting...
Alex reads her intention loud and clear. She returns to her artwork. The dog GROWLS softly as Alex appraches the garage.
Alex remains riveted to the screen.
Alex remains silent, hurt.
Alex removes the gloves and, with a plastic spoon, begins to eat. CAMERA PUSHES IN as he begins to chew methodically; chewing and chewing and chewing with concentration until... after steadying himself... prepares to swallow... then, carefully does.
Alex removes the hook from the door and places the pole on the floor. He cautiously opens the door, REVEALING an old fish scaling knife embedded on the back side of the door, unaware. Removing the knife and securing it, his eyes turn towards the floor.
Alex runs with all his strength away from Valerie Lewton’s home. Billy Hitchcock is riding his bicycle in Alex’s direction. He stops and gets off his bike.
Alex rushes across the threshold as Ms. Lewton pulls the knives over the counter.
Alex sighs, eases.
Alex sighs, embarrassed.
Alex sits behind a table in the cinderblock room painted police station green. Sitting across from him, with a good cop tone, is Agent Weine, while Schreck stands with a hard-ass posture.
Alex sits in the back against the door, looking out the window at the storm. Clear Rivers is pressed against the other door. Everyone is slient. Outside, the STORM angrily rages.
Alex slams the door shut before it can open. Behind the door, a CRASH as something falls. Alex cracks a wicked half smile, cocky he has caught Death before this attempt has brought to fruition.
Alex stands and, with no urgency, moves off. He exits the room.
Alex stands near her, sympathetically, understanding her pain....
Alex stops, looks around. Behind the tree and in the shadows of the adjacent house, stands Clear Rivers.
Alex studies his mountain of research, increasingly obsessed.
Alex studies, appealing to her...
Alex takes a beat to consider...
Alex takes a nervous breath...
Alex takes off toward...
Alex takes the rose and she walks away. CAMERA PUSHES IN ON HIM as he eyes... feels... the red flower.
Alex tears across the fenceless backyards towards Clear’s house. Blue ARC light glowing from the front yard.
Alex tenses, but Weine shakes his head.
Alex tries the doorknob. Locked. He looks at her, defeated. Clear quickly points to some mortician’s tools on the cart.
Alex turns his eyes to the glass.
Alex turns sickeningly disoriented. His eyes dart about, searching for evidence of the catastrophe. There are none to be found. Alex blots from his seat, startling the two girls. He scrambles toward Tod, who looks at his friend, concerned.
Alex turns to him, increudlously..
Alex walks quickly up the street. Smoke wafts before him. He turns to see a man burning leaves in the backyard.
Alex was right.
Alex winces from Carter’s breath...
Alex!
Alex’s Mother and Father lead by a group of parents into the room. Each moves with grief, yet relief, to their child.
Alex’s Nikes land on the carpet.
Alex’s eyes are locked on Bludworth’s chilling, pleasant smile. The mortician yanks on a tube, REVEALING a foot long needle removed from Tod’s spinal column. The horrific nature of death is vividly demonstrated to Alex.
Alex’s finger quickly moves along the fuel line. After “TERRY,” the seat intersecting the path of the fule line, over the fuel pump, is marked “MS. LEWTON.”
Alex’s mother, BARBARA, 45, walks in, excited and a bit anxious.
Alex’s passport and ticket are set INTO FRAME and picked up by a female TICKET CLERK. Alex waits as she busily types into the computer and checks his passport...
Alex’s red eyes are locked on the screen, mortified. O.S., a VICIOUS CRACK of LIGHTNING and immediate THUNDER... as if calling Alex to the window. He remains fixed on the TV.
Alex’s tension increases as he continues up the aisle.
Alex’s wild eyes and expression convey “no fucking kidding there’s a problem.” The flight attendant realizes this passenger is experiencing a serious episode.
Alex, Billy and Clear look at one another, equally frightened...
Alex, Knock it off. It’s alright. Settle down, Alex.
Alex, Tod, and George catch up to Christa and Blake, excited. As always, everyone becomes bottlenecked just at the point of entering the plane. Alex looks out the ramp’s side porthole window toward the back of the plane.
Alex, cocks his eyebrow probably thinking, “a mess?” but tactfully shakes his head “no.”
Alex, get away from there!
Alex, on the plane... you must have
Alex, talk to me. What happened?
Alex, the co-pilot, Carter, the attendant, Mr. Murnau, Ms, Lewton, Terry, Tod and Billy proceed down the tunnel. Billy is confused by the chaos.
Alex, you got our attentio.
Alex.
Alex. Alex! Easy, man. Take it... Sir, if this is a joke,
Alex...
Alex...
Alex... can you promise me that?
Alex?
Alex?
Alex? Qu’est-ce se?
A light CLICKS on REVEALING an old, ‘20’s built bathroom. The toilet is beside the bathtub/shower, with just enough knee space to the counter cabinets when one lifts the toilet seat.
All I owe is these people.
All because of Browning. be in danger...
All my wife and I will ever know is
Almost Autumn.
Almost like bein’ able... to see the
Alright, Browning, you fuckin’
Alright, go on. Get outta here.
Alright, you guys got everything?
Although no window is open, and the power outage has shut off any air conditioning... the candle flame whips, then extinguishes. The blue smoke swirls ominously into the room.
Although the words are comforting, being in the position of having to hear them macabre. Ms. Lewton reacts, snapping...
An O.S. paper FLUTTER draws his attention to the newspaper being blown by the fan. He reaches out and grabs it. Headlines and photos report on the memorial service.
An OWL has apparently smashed into the window, awkwardly flapping its large wings, then turns its head toward Alex, large yellow eyes shining like an alien creature.
An airline ticket is tossed INTO FRAME beside a suitcase; “EURO-AIR. FLIGHT #180. New York City (JFK) - Paris, Charles de Gaulle (CDG.) Departure: Thursday 13May. 16H25 - Arrival: Friday 14May. 05H40.” An ear splitting CRACKLE. SPARKS FLY! The electrical system of the small car erupts and the engine dies. The car stops. An elevator with collapsible metal door lowers INTO FRAME. Pushing the door aside, Alex and Clear proceed into the hallway, lined with morgue green tile. Stainless steel gurneys and porcelain equipment holding yellow surgical tubing and thick foot-long needles sit in the corridor.
An image of Hell as jet fuel burns on the ocean. O.S., as if furious at the slight, THUNDER BANGS... An old circular clothesline turns like a pinwheel in the wind. In the center of the yard is an oblong, tarped above ground pool. In the furthest corner of the yard, her dog is chained to a tree, BARKING AND FREAKED OUT. An old tire swing rocks in the storm. From the manner in which the house is situated and the length of the snapped power lines, one is capable of reaching the backyard.
And I fuckin’ HATED FRENCH CLASS! And I’m not sure yet how... but I

And no... escapes.

Anyone seen Billy Hitchcock?
April 25th. Four-twenty-five...
Are they up there?
Are you?
Arms crossed, Carter remains in the front seat. As the interior fills with light from the headlight of the oncoming train, Carter turns and looks at them with a smart ass smile, pleased that he’s shown how brave he truly is. With a beam of cocky definace...
Arriving SECURITY OFFICERS quickly have control of the situation. Alex is taken to a seat at the gate and dropped there by the co-pilot, who, winded, eyes the officers.
As “Long May You Run” OVERLAPS...
As Alex and Clear approach...
As Alex and Tod pass through the metal detector, their eyes performing reconnaissance on Christa and Blake, the opening drum BLASTS of Boingo’s ‘No One Lives Forever’ OVERLAPS...
As Alex sits, the tray table falls from its upright position.
As Barbara picks up the suitcase to place it on the floor... a dozen old baggage I.D. tickets spill from the outer compartment. She looks at Ken, as if “you?” The guilty party shrugs.
As CAMERA PUSHES INTO HER... considering life. Then, now and what is to come.
As CAMERA SWEEPS IN to ALEX and he releases a deep GROAN...
As Carter and Billy feel the chill of their inner fears...
As Clear takes a moment to consider, Alex steers them well around the scaffolds, eyes skyward during the move...
As Tod longs for his brother, then looks at his friend.
As a pair of paramedics work on her, a soft breeze blows across the girl, and only the girl. CAMERA MOVES DOWN TO HER FACE, her eyes opened... welling with tears... seeming to realize... to sense, he is gone.
As an American passport is dropped beside the guidebook...
As each day passes without a...
As he hands the book to Alex, a female form ENTERS FRAME between them. The women is MISS VALERIE LEWTON, 30, a feisty English teacher whose figure inspires all the boys’ fantasies.
As he looks back, searching for the nearest flight attendant...
As he speaks, the sunlight suddenly turns to shadow.
As he struggles in the f.g., Weine and a pair of Sheriffs appear ten yards beyond him. They pause, confused, panning their flashlights across the forest.
As he turns away from them, Carter sees something in the rearview mirror...
As his body settles... dies... CAMERA PULLS AWAY fully revealing his lifeless form. Once behind the toilet tank, CAMERA CRANES DOWN to the floor. The water eerily retreats from the floor, slipping back toward the base of the toilet and, like a murderer, slips out of the night.
As if itself a presence, CAMERA CREEPS across the dark and motionless room TOWARD Alex, sleeping soundly. CAMERA CRANES DOWN to the level of the bed until Alex is in the f.g. and the room is visible behind him. As in flannels and plaids?
As she moves to Alex, Clear nods her acknowledgement and appreciation to Carter. She takes Alex by the hand and the pair begin running away, off into the woods. As she places her stuff on the unoccupied seat beside her, a Paris guidebook falls on the floor, opened but face down. A passing, unidentified, student reaches down and hands her the book, still open and face down.
As she senses the agents’ sincerity...
As she turns her back and continues down the terminal...
As the Corolla lurches away from the house down the sloped driveway...
As the Introduction closes, RESONATES... A FLASH OF LIGHTING!
As the breeze passes Tod, he pauses... as if sensing, but not
As the startle of the situation settles, it dawns on Alex that they have been busted. He nervously offers an explanation.
As the toilet FLUSHES O.S., CAMERA NOW MOVES INTO the locking nut, which begins to slightly rattle. Drips of water stream from the tank onto the floor.
At that moment, Clear doesn’t understand. She looks to him, scared...
At that moment, Ms. Lewton exits with an espresso drink. Sensing trouble, she has no energy or desire to involve herself.
Atencion senores pasajeros. No
Attention airline travelers...
Attractive and they know it, CHRISTA MARSH and BLAKE DREYER appear clearly out of Alex and Tod’s league.
Autumn coming.
Avis aux passagers...
Awaiting......each of us; a cold...dark...lonely place.
Aww, fuck... really?
BACK OF THE TOILET TANK
BAM! In reverse, the Corolla SMASHES through the garage door.

BILLY HITCHCOCK
BILLY HITCHCOCK’S POV - CARTER’S CAR BRAKING LOUDLY, startlingly, a public bus PULLS INTO CAMERA and stops. The doors HISS open. Baby, come on... not now.
Barabra places a cool wet cloth on Clear’s forehead...
Barbara Browning grabs hold of Alex and holds him tight. The mother begins to cry. Ken Browning, eyes welling with tears, grabs his son’s hand and squeezes. Alex does not cry. While holding his mother, he watches the others.
Barbara moves towards the suitcase to help him pack. Alex’s father, KEN BROWNING, 48, appears, leaning against the door threshold, smiling enviously at his son.
Barbara shakes her head as Alex smiles at his dad.
Because I didn’t believe him.
Because I saw and I heard Alex.
Because he knows which one of us...
Because of the supernatural “message” he recieved, Alex is reluctant to answer. He eyes Mr. Bludworth, who, with a wry half smile, eyes Alex as if aware of the reason behind his hesitation.
Because of you, I gotta sit here and...
Because of you... I’m still alive.
Because... I... never thought it
Been on many planes that blew up,

Behind him, O.S., approaching in the sand, SOFT FOOTSTEPS. He listens, notes them. Yet rather than turn around... he looks up into the sky.
Billy Hitchcock rides toward the Starbucks on his bicycle.
Billy Hitchcock walks backward from the window, shocked by a shocked step. Ms. Lewton drops to her chair as her legs give out.
Billy SWERVES to the left, directly in front of an oncoming car. The car SWERVES right, as does Billy, avoiding a certain fatal collision for the cyclist. The oncoming car HONKS!
Billy begins backing away from the others.
Billy collects himself...
Billy continues backing away, horrified.
Billy looks out the window, despondent.
Billy opens the door and pours out. Clear and Alex are quickly behind him. Carter remains in the drivers seat.
Billy sighs, and moves OUT OF FRAME, only to quickly RE-ENTER...
Billy sits back, gesturing, “hear ya. Got it.” Clear pays no attention to their exchange as she stare out into the darkness, her thoughts a million miles away.
Billy told the F.B.I. he saw you
Billy! I’m gettin’ a vision!

C’mon, man, like you really thought CAMARA CREEPS IN on his dawning paranoia...
CAMARA PUSHES IN ON ALEX... unsettled by the soft spoken, yet ominous, “Solicitation.” The Krishana offers a small book, REALITY BEYOND THE MATTER: VAISHNAVA PHILOSOPHY.
CAMERA ADJUSTS FROM the “Arrival-Departure Schedule” to REVEAL forty high school KIDS, four TEACHERS and several PARENTS are gathered inside the International terminal at J.F.K. Several of the students wear Fighting Colonial leterman’s jackets or hats and shirts displaying “Mt. Abraham High, New York.”
CAMERA ADJUSTS as Alex and Clear step off the bus and onto the street. CAMERA ADJUSTS from the sign indicating GATE 39. The class is squirrely and excited. Mr. Murnau, Ms. Lewton, and the parent chaperones are allowing kids to burn off steam at the gate, hoping for a calm flight. CAMERA ADJUSTS, LEADING George, Alex and Tod through the aisles. Alex and Tod wince at the screaming child. George, however feels comforted.
CAMERA ADJUSTS, to fully reveal Alex Browning as he turns toward the bedroom door. Alex is an average kid; handsome. A high school “everyman.” CAMERA BEGINS TO MOVE toward ALEX... as Tod’s head turns toward him, then Terry’s... then Carter’s. In the chair, beginning to cry, Ms. Lewton eyes Alex, as if afraid of him.
CAMERA CONTINUES MOVING UNTIL REVEALING Alex Browning racing down the sidewalk. He runs into a CLOSE-UP, sweating, out of breath, expression horrified as he takes in the scene before him.
CAMERA CONTINUES THE MOVE on Tod... as if just realizing...
CAMERA CONTINUES. SIRENS PIERCING. The emergency vehicles’ strobing red lights reflect in Alex’s eyes, now in TIGHT as he looks out, frozen with shock... upon the doomed FLIGHT 180.
CAMERA CRANES DOWN to REVEAL the moniter cabel inserted into an electrical wall socket. The vodka drip... drip... drips PAST FRAME. Then, Lewton’s hand ENTERS and pulls the monitor plug, creating tiny SPARKS at the connection... CAMERA CREEPS AWAY from the plane... huge, seemingly incapable of flight and yet we unquestioningly trust our lives in this machine. Emotionless. Cold. Lifeless, and yet soon full of life. CAMERA CREEPS IN as, oddly, the words strike him portentously... CAMERA CREEPS IN, teasingly on the dark faced corpse. The pages begin to turn once again.
CAMERA CREEPS TOWARD HIM, face to the glass; eyes scanning the plane and outside area. CAMERA CREEPS toward it... lit to cheat a feeling of no return.
CAMERA EASES IN on the agents, exchanging rattled expressions that convey their unease in the proof that Alex was right. CAMERA FOLLOWS ALEX’S HAND as it rises. CAMERA SWEEPS IN EXTREMELY CLOSE to the ATTENDANT CALL BUTTON. As Alex’s finger engages the button, it lights up orange.
CAMERA FOLLOWS a hand as it carefully picks up a Coleman lantern and sets it atop an empty can placed in the center and above the water line of a large metal tub; a fire protection moat.
CAMERA HOLDS REVEALING an unmarked sedan parked across and down from a Starbucks with outdoor seating. Schreck and Weine sit in the car, eyes coolly locked on Alex and Clear.
CAMERA HOLDS as ‘Long May You Run’ CONTINUES... RETURNING each of us to the awaiting darkness.
CAMERA INCHES IN ON “Row 25. Seats H, I, and J.”
CAMERA INCHES IN ON HIM as he takes in deep breaths of the stale air. He presses his face to the window.
CAMERA INCHES IN ON HIM as the piece of paper ENTERS FRAME, floating and flitting until landing on his knee. He picks it up and turns it over...
CAMERA INCHES IN as Alex considers, confused, emotional...
CAMERA INCHES IN as she looks up. With total resolve...
CAMERA INCHES IN as she shakes off a shiver down her spine. She looks up from the book toward the student who handed it to her, the identity of which is fully REVEALED to be Alex Browning.
CAMERA INCHES IN as, troubled, he looks back to Tod...
CAMERA INCHES INTO KEN as he winks at his son...
CAMERA INCHES TOWARD the mortician. In this environment, lit with Fritz Lang shadows, Bludworth’s tone, appearance... he could easily be mistaken for a personification of the subject.
CAMERA IS LOW, RACING WITH HER as SPARKS EXPLODE FROM the lamps and electrical outlets. She cuts and leaps three steps at a time down the staircase...
CAMERA LOOKS DOWN on two stalls. Alex sits in one, Tod sits in the other. O.S., OVER the airports P.A. SYSTEM John Denver’s ‘Rocky Mountain High’ begins...
CAMERA MATCHES THE MOVE TO HIM AS TOD and Mr. Murnau attempt to calm him down. CAMERA MATCHES the move INTO HER as she looks up at Alex, not with fear or repulsion... but with knowledge of an unwanted but irrefutable connection.
CAMERA MOVES ALONG the awaiting passengers... Carter and Terry are making out, a step away from heavy petting...
CAMERA MOVES IN... his nose and mouth, just below the water line, but he cannot move. His eyes flash with panic, as he struggles... battles to move and avoid drowning in two inches of water.
CAMERA MOVES WITH Alex and Clear through the unsettling reception area; plastic flowers, gold candelabra, plaster cherubs and angels. A bronze plaque identifies: “MT. ABRAHAM FUNERAL HOME. THE JOURNEY’S END. WILLIAM BLUDWORTH - INTERMEDIARY.”
CAMERA MOVES WITH Alex, blindly running through the forest, sheriffs’ flashlight beams crossing behind him... in pursuit.
CAMERA MOVES to an empty seat. Clear Rivers ENTERS FRAME and sits,
CAMERA PULLS AWAY FROM ALEX, as if reflecting his easing of annoyance with the tray situation. He finally appears to notice the raucous reaction and settles back in his seat, slightly pushed by mild-g force. The upwarding angle increasing...
CAMERA PULLS BACK. The birthing room is quiet; the people introspective. The doctors. The family. The mother and child. A room of new life, in which, each recalls a life lost.
CAMERA PUSHES IN ON ALEX as he quickly considers, then moves toward the hood of the burning car...
CAMERA PUSHES IN ON Alex, relieved and thankful, as he turns to her...
CAMERA PUSHES IN ON CLEAR as she looks at the business card.
CAMERA PUSHES IN ON Flight 180 Memorial, lit for dramatic effect at night, but only achieving an eeriness. Carter Horton and Billy Hitchcock ENTER FRAME, moving toward the monument. Billy is riding his bicycle, wearing a New York Rangers jersey with “Hitchcock” across the back of the shoulders. Nearing the shadows, the two boys stop looking at the monument.
CAMERA PUSHES IN ON HER, rattled, afraid, but aware of Alex as she is first to turn her eyes toward him.
CAMERA PUSHES IN ON HIM as he holds his mother tightly. OVERLAPPING... A CRACK OF THUNDER!
CAMERA PUSHES IN as he listens...
CAMERA PUSHES IN as he looks up, nervous... not about suspicion toward him, but trying to explain what even he doesn’t understand.
CAMERA PUSHES IN as he sighs, troubled... CAMERA PUSHES INTO ALEX, feeling eyes upon them. He looks up...
CAMERA PUSHES INTO ALEX, stunned, but before he can ask any further questions, a METALLIC CLACKING draws his attention back toward the house.
CAMERA PUSHES INTO Billy Hitchcock, depressed as he watches the plane take off...
CAMERA PUSHES INTO HER, hearing Alex’s declaration.
CAMERA PUSHES INTO HIM as he takes his first step into the plane.
CAMERA PUSHES INTO the burner as the flames re-ignite and FILL THE FRAME...
CAMERA PUSHES INTO the mortician, pleased the message has been recieved.
CAMERA PUSHES into a TIGHT CLOSE UP...
CAMERA PUSHES, LOW ANGLE, INTO WILLAIM BLUDWORTH, an African-American man, early 50’s, dressed in dark suit and tie.
CAMERA RISES TO ALEX, sitting in his safe chair. Paranoid and obsessively cautious, his eyes move towards the door, anticipating the consequential events. Following the path of the breeze, Alex turns around...
CAMERA SETTLES, but her expression does not reflect fear. She knows Alex is here... and she smiles, tears welling in her eyes.
CAMERA SWEEPS INTO ALEX... stunned as he turns to the window...
CAMERA SWEEPS INTO HIM AS his EYES FLARE with tension...
CAMERA inches in on him.
CAMERA is LOW, moving across the paisley carpet. Dim light, spilling through the stained glass windows, falls upon the creepy decor, appearing as if designed by a morose Laura Ashley, floor model coffins and urns. CAMERA CONTINUES, TILTING UP to the CEILING, REVEALING a stained glass skylight. Outside, on the roof, two silhouettes appear...
CAMERA, FACING the ocean, moves along the shore revealing a lone image sitting on the beach, looking into the Atlantic.

Carter Horton and his girlfriend, Terry, take cuts in line with smug, bullying expressions. Unseen by the chaperones, no student, has the nerve to protest Carter’s action. Alex, Tod, George and BILLY HITCHCOCK, heavyset with a New York Rangers jersey watches Carter and Terry with disgust.
Carter and Alex lock eyes, Alex refraining from showing any pain caused by Carter’s grip. Terry finally gets him to release.
Carter and Terry appear IN FRAME. Terry holds a rose. As they move slowly up toward the memorial, Alex gets in line behind them. Carter knows Alex is there, but will not look at him.
Carter bares down on the wheel, hits the GAS...
Carter barrels through the intersection as a car makes a left turn at the intersection.
Carter checks the rearview mirror. Clear looks out the front passenger window. She shakes her head, as if “no one’s following us.” Billy leans forward from the backseat...
Carter drives. Billy rides shotgun. Alex and Clear are in the back. Everyone anxious, looking for cops.
Carter eyes Alex, continuing the taunt. He raises the volume of his words to drown out Alex’s words and incite conflict.
Carter eyes Clear in the rearview mirror.
Carter has an angry reflexive reaction, grabbing Alex threateningly by the forearm. Terry immediately tries to get Carter to release his hold.
Carter lies on the road, urine stains around his crotch, hyperventilating and near tears. Carter looks at the piece of seatbelt.
Carter makes a quick move and grabs Alex. The two security guards rush in to break it up. Chaos erupts agian as the two boys wrestle in the terminal.
Carter pulls put a heavy pocket knife and starts attempting to cut into the stone.
Carter reaches for Alex, who pushes back, trying to get out. Carter responds aggressivly and now the flight attendant, Tod, and the two teachers are in the midst of the melee.
Carter scoffs while moving aggressively toward Alex.
Carter steps before Ms. Lewton, blocking her exit...
Carter straightens and nods, then begins to walk away. He hesitates, then turns back to Clear.
Carter takes his hands off the wheel and raises them in the air, like a terrorized child on a roller coaster...
Carter turns off the engine, then sits back into his seat and folds his arms, indicating he has no intention of moving.
Carter turns over his shoulder, looking back angrily towards Alex. Terry wraps a calming/restraining arm around Carter’s shoulder, but he starts towards Alex, seated with Ms. Lewton.
Carter turns to them; it’s as far as he will go to admit he believes... or will help...
Carter’s car pulls up to the curb. Oblivious to the accident he almost caused, Carter gets out, strutting toward the tables outside the coffee shop. Inside the car, Terry sighs...
Carter’s expression becomes frightened, but he cannot have this. He counters with an irrational bravado.
Carter, Terry, Billy, Ms. Lewton
Carter, get out!
Carter, however, continually glances into the rearview mirror, checking Alex. Finally, hotheaded and unable to withhold it any further...
Carter, stop it, you... Get control of yourself!
Carter...
Carter hooks his elbow on the window and his right arm around the front seat, driving; no hands.
Causing a startle, the DOOR OPENS. Everyone’s head whips reflexively toward the entrance. The strange event of the flickering lights is quickly forgotten.
Checking the air in her tires
Chemicals in the vascular flush
Cleaned and wrapped in a swaddling blanket, the baby is placed in the mothers arms. The long retrospective harmonica of Neil Young’s ‘Long May You Run’ reprises as Clear looks at the I.D. braclet...
Clear River’s stands in her bedroom just as it fills with blinding blue light. Her television screen BLOWS OUT. Sparks jet across the room. Blasts of FLAME erupt from the electrical outlets. She quickly turns, racing toward the hallway.
Clear Rivers appears from the shadows.
Clear Rivers approaches, barefoot in the sand. He neddn’t turn to know who is behind him.
Clear Rivers exits and takes a seat away from the others, aware she is unnoticed in the confusion. CAMERA INCHES IN as she looks up toward...
Clear Rivers sits in her seat, legs crossed, alluring and sexy and
Clear can see the flames, her instinct is to grab the handle to get out.
Clear closes the door. Carter and Billy drive off. As she looks to the beach.
Clear considers the danger of venturing out to get the dog.
Clear drops the chain and hits the dog on its backside.
Clear eyes the two of them. With the memorial standing behind them...
Clear grabs Clear and touches her face.
Clear guns the small car in reverse.
Clear hasn’t met eyes with Alex, but she sits nearby, looking into the sky.
Clear holds baby Alex up to the monument, showing her son his father’s name. Carter stands, watching. CAMERA WIDENS to REVEAL the entire monument against the deep blue sky. At the base in readable, but understandable lettering... “FLIGHT 180.” Clear is gone.
Clear is touched by the action.
Clear leaps from the end of the branch to her window, grabbing the sill awkwardly, she dangles outside the house. With a breath, she pulls herself inside, just as the power line bites, ARCING, at her feet.
Clear lifts her head up, still battling the pain of labor...
Clear looks down the beach, checking for any sight of Billy and Carter.
Clear looks up desperately to Alex.
Clear looks up.
Clear moves in for a closer look, then calls Alex over to the body. After a beat of reluctance, Alex looks at Tod’s neck.
Clear moves quickly to the kitchen, holding the candle. Outside, BLUE ARC LIGHT CRACKLES. She looks out the backyard.
Clear moves to her bed with a book. As she settles in, O.S., a faint RUSTLE. CAMERA INCHES IN ON CLEAR as she looks to...
Clear opens the driver’s side door and runs out, knocked to her feet as behind her the car EXPLODES.
Clear paces in her living room. She moves to the curtains and checks out the window. Although it is not raining, LIGHTNING CRACKS across the sky!
Clear pulls herself up to a tree branch. Lighting and THUNDER CONTINUE amongst the ARCING, CRACKLING POWER LINES. She searches for an escape. Clear scoots into the driver’s seat. She CLICKS the automatic garage door opener...
Clear sets the paper down, looking sadly at Alex.
Clear sighs, frightened as she tosses the test upon a half dozen other discarded tests. You can never be too sure. Outside, WIND of an approaching storm blows. CAMERA tensely INCHES IN ON Clear...
Clear sighs, growing impatient with Alex.
Clear smiles. As she takes the baby out of the stroller...
Clear starts up the street, but Alex grabs her arm and steps back, assuring the bus moves off... safely. He nods, “it’s safe to go.” Throughout the following, his eyes are searching for anything potentially deadly.
Clear takes a step off the sidewalk and onto the street. Alex tugs her back, looking both ways while outraged by her challenge.
Clear turns to Alex. The two couldn’t appear more different. She moves to a sculpture, an ugly black and green globular sculpture with a white dot in the center.
Clear, how do we know that by

Didn’t you... “see” it?
Directly across the aisle, Carter Horton and Terry look at him with severe expressions.
Distant THUNDER ECHOES. Alex kindles a fire in the fireplace, balling up old newspapers. He begins to crumble the local news... then pauses.
Distant flashlights reflect in a small stream, barely two inches deep. Alex’s foot splashes in the water. THUNDER RUMBLES.
Distant... APPROACHING THUNDER RUMBLES as she steps away. The weight of the world on her shoulders, Clear paces, considering her options. She looks to a bookshelf...
Do you know when I was born?
Does that mean “go?”

Don’t do it! Don’t do it! It’s coming! It’s coming!

Drenched with sweat, trembling in his seat, his eyes dart toward Christa and Blake. They look great and they’re workin’ the sex appeal.

Entering the garage, Alex gets a closer look at her artwork. It’s abstract sculpture and canvas work and pretty bad, at that.
Even as blood squirts on him from her open wound, he appears to realize she is “seeing” the moment of death.
Even in his sleep, Alex shivers from the passing cold. His eyes open surprised to be suddenly awakened. He considers for a beat, then looks toward...
Every night... it seemed.
Every passenger hangs on as the car BOUNCES from the next dip.
Every unrestrained object on board flies to the hole and through the fire; paper, books, luggage, pillows. A PARENT and a STUDENT clutch their seat in terror, SCREAMING before they are pulled into the sky.
Everybody just stay where you Mr. Carpenter, keep an eye on
Everyone begrudgingly stops to listen.
Everyone recognizes the eerie, yet beautiful coincidence. Clear leans her head back, relieved, euphoric...
Everything here reminds me... of
Exactly a year... to the minute.
Exactly how everything goes.
Excited, Tod speaks in a covert tone over Alex’s shoulder.

Flight Attendants prepare for
Foot to the floor, Clear SCREAMS for the car to move.
For a beat, there is SILENCE... until, in the distance, SIRENS can be heard, approaching. As Alex stands and Carter manages to rise on wobbly legs... none of them can remove their eyes from Billy’s body.
Frenzied, Alex climbs over his friend, on top of the seat. Alex’s panic has alerted the other students and a MALE FLIGHT ATTENDANT who makes his way to the row.
From INSIDE, a hoarse, macabre SCREAM! CAMERA PUSHES IN ON ALEX, stunned, before he races off toward the house. From it, Alex produces a thin six inch needle. He inserted the tool in the lock and jimmies the doorknob. CLACK!

From the rear of the house appears Alex. CAMERA SWEEPS IN ON HIM as he reacts to the situation...

He cautiously flashes a greeting smile. The teacher, however, averts her eyes and continues into the coffee shop. Alex sighs, guiltily. Clear sympathizes with both of them.
He considers, owing them an explanation. Then he realizes...
He cooly turns back to the ignition, grabs the key and turns it over... only to be met with the DULL CLACK of a dead engine.
He could be anywhere from here to a
He didn’t do nothin’!
He didn’t say nothin’. Just drive. He died in a plane crash.
He flashes a dry mortician’s smile, pleased by his wan pun. Alex and Clear haven’t recovered from the corspe’s actions to calmly address Bludworth..
He gestures... “and that’s all we know.” The group slips deeper into despair.
He leans foward, removing a peice of paper from his pocket.
He left yesterday behind him...
He lifts the tray back up, but as he turns the latch, it BREAKS OFF in his hand. He briefly tries to jimmie the tray into postition, then gives up.
He looks at her.
He looks to them and knows he is just plain overmatched. Alex shrugs, “Sure.” In front of him Tod throws up his arms, disgusted. Alex climbs out of his seats. The girls are touchy-feely thankful, but only know guys dig that.
He looks toward...
He moves off. Terry, however, holds a beat, eyes Alex and gently rubs the area of his arm, as if this is the only manner she can extend her gratitiude in Carter’s presence. As Alex pats her arm, Terry quickly moves off.
He pauses only for a couple gulps of air... and is off.
He places workman’s gloves on his hands before picking up a can of Underwood chicken spread. With some degree of difficulty, he works the gloves beneath the tab and pulls. Careful not to cut himself, he reaches out and drops the lid into a small trash can.
He reaches out and grabs the power line, falling back to pull it away from the hood of the car. The cable ARCS furiously.
He rolls and tumbles uncontrollably down the hillside. As he nears the base...
He said Death has a design. Even
He sits back, OUT OF FRAME, but quickly darts forward.
He slips again.
He stands at the gate window, looking out at the plane.
He told me to get off the plane.
He took his own life.
He tries to open the door... it won’t open. He pulls at the door handle... tugs at the seatbelt... panicked. Horrified, he whips towards the others.
He turns toward the aisle.
He turns, stands... and moves to the picture window, pulling the curtains aside as CAMERA PUSHES IN ON HIM...
He was born in the summer of his
He was born in the summer of his
He was trippin’ on formaldehyde.
He wouldn’t do it!
He’s here. A beautiful boy.
He’s in the shower, Clear. Can I
He’s not a witch.
He... he told me we would be friends
Head and shoulders remaining angrily in Carter’s direction, Terry takes a blind step off the curb and into the crosswalk, WITHOUT A CUT... a bus suddenly speeds INTO FRAME and, THUD! plows directly right into her...
Hello. I’m Howard Seigel, National
Helpless, chain wrapped around the tree. THUNDER RUMBLES.
Her eyes fill with tears and fear. Alex places a comforting hand on her shoulder, but she reacts quickly, pulling away from him, her eyes piercing at him.
Her eyes turn from the paper to Alex, concerned about him...
Her hand trembling, her expression horrified, Lewton grabs the handle of the largest blade, trying to pull it out. Alex quickly kneels next to her. She looks at him, in shock, her eyes pleading. Alex gathers his courage, places his hand on the handle of the largest blade. As he’s about to remove it...
Here’s good.
Hey, Alex...
Hey, I won’t let it happen, okay.
Hey, look! “Coffee” starts with a
Hey, man, why’d you say that?!
Hey.
High...
His eyes having never left Alex, Carter suddenly cranks the wheel hard to the left to make a tight U-Turn.
His eyes well with tears. Only as she looks at Alex does Clear become emotional... they move closer, and kiss, the desire for each other, to defy the events around them; darkness; the isolation...
His father’s pretty fucked up with
His parents bought a ton of those

Hustling toward the door. Mr. Murnau gestures toward Ms. Lewton as if “talk to her.” He disappears down the ramp. CAMERA PUSHES IN as airline personnel CLOSE THE DOOR... with an ominous THUD.

In the DISTANCE, a TRAIN WHISTLE BLOWS, eerie, as if Death was punctuating the moment.
In the b.g. the 747 head and taillights suddenly, violently, ERUPT into a gigantic fireball of flame.
In the b.g., Valerie removes the chrome teapot from the stove and moves it to the sink. JOHN DENVER CONTINUES in the next room. Ms. Lewton turns on the faucet, pours water into the kettle. Some water spills on the side of the kettle. As she wipes the pot with a blue checked hand towel, a dark shadow appears to cross behind her.
In the backseat, Alex and Clear ease... just as a railroad crossing arm drops INTO FRAME in the REAR WINDOW. O.S., the CLANG CLANG CLANG of a RAILROAD CROSSING ALARM.
In the first row slumps a young man with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. A cannula is set in his nostrils leading to an oxygon tank beside him.
Is everyone dead? Are there any
Is he alive?
Is knowing going to make it easier?

It instantly, frightfully, occurs to him, he now knows who will be next...
It is as if Nature is angry. Lightning BOLTS spiderweb across the sky. THUNDER BOOMS.
It is late and dark. Only the pale light of the TV spills across the living room. Ken and Barbara have fellen asleep, but their son remains awake.
It is raining. In the distance, MUFFLED THUNDER RUMBLES.

Kneeling down, she tugs on a heavy box and opens it to check the contents. Her expression warms, as if recalling a far off memory.
Knock it off!
Know what this is?
Know what this is?
Knowing she is dead, Alex pauses with guilt. He looks at the knife in his hand, then realizes how incriminating this could appear. In that moment, another small EXPLOSION from the stove brings Alex quickly to his feet. He drops the knife to the floor and races from the house. CAMERA TILTS DOWN to the shoe prints left in the pool of blood.

Lewton turns. CAMERA FOLLOWS, CIRCLING as she looks about the room only to find she is alone. Unsetteled, she absently tosses the towel on the counter the edge which, catches a knife blade held in the cutery block.
Lewton’s hand picks up the mug, oblivious to the crack. She moves off toward the living room, leaving a trail of alcohol.
Lewton, or what?

Mr. Murnau and Ms. Lewton unfasten their seat belts and rush toward Alex.
Mr. Murnau scans the group, his expression looking for an answer. Clear Rivers keeps her head in her book as...
Mr. Murnau stops the group. Excited, he cups an ear with one hand while raising a finger toward the public address system.
Mr. Waggner glares at Alex, accusingly.
Mr. Waggner turns toward the paramedics van, as if “there’s the proof.”
Mr. Waggner...
Ms. Lewton and Mr. Murnau move to the seats. Flight attendants try
Ms. Lewton and Tod exchange concerned glances.
Ms. Lewton appears from around the corner. She starts toward the entrance, but pauses, tensing when she sees Alex.
Ms. Lewton moves to a closet door, opens it and CLICKS on an overhead light.
Ms. Lewton steps away from the curtains.
Ms. Lewton turns and, while walking backward, flashes a smile...
Ms. Lewton turns on the gas, adjusts it, however... the flames blow out. She pauses, nerves on edge. Her eyes cautiously move about the room and find nothing. She grabs a pack of nearby matches and strikes one.
Ms. Lewton!
Ms. Lewton!
Ms. Lewton’s eyes flash to Alex, afraid of him.
Ms. Lewton, Carter and Billy glare at Alex. Terry averts her eyes from Alex to bury her face in Carter’s shoulder.
Ms. Lewton...

On a reflex, she spins toward the sink and throws the hot contents into the drain. She sits the mug down...
On her back, on the floor, she is badly burned. Her open neck wound continues to bleed. Blood pools on the floor. In shock and moving on pure survial instincts, she reaches up...
On the rear wall, the Fighting Colonials pennant begins to flutter slightly, as if affected by the moving breeze. The path of which is continued toward the bed, rustling the sheets, subtly blowing Alex’s hair and continuing OVER CAMERA.
On the screen, the reflection of the approaching shadow passes before the monitor... EXPLODES!

Rattled, Alex attempts to compose himself. Ms. Lewton appears, hurriedly pulling aside Mr. Murnau.
Reaching an intersection, Alex pushes the pedestrian traffic light button, then steps well away from the curb.
Readying his ticket and documents, Tod flips open his passport, checking out his photo.
Realizing the motor is dead, Clear takes a beat, STARTS THE ENGINE and SHIFTS INTO REVERSE...
Really for the first time, Alex appears a bit tentative and pale. It is intensified by the return of the song...
Red light. A car approaches with the greenlighted right of way. Carter’s car TEARS INTO FRAME, just missing being T-boned in the intersection as the other car HITS THE BRAKES, fishtailing.
Remaining dry and stoned faced, Alex tenses, uncomfortable.

Scared to death, Billy fumbles with the car door handle. From the front passenger seat, he looks up and to his left... Schreck hands his card. She takes it and nods. Schreck pauses, once again eyeing the painting before moving out of the garage on their way to their car.
Schreck moves closer to Alex.
Schreck, Weine and PARAMEDICS rush to the girl. Schreck turns back, calling out to a paramedic, helplessly watching by ther burning car.

Shaken, Alex considers whether to move foward to the memorial. He steps aside to let the others go ahead as Billy Hitchcock, who has finished paying his respects, spots Alex and heads back up the line.
Sharp metal edges spin. Glinting blue arc light...
She assesses the situation and moves to a pair of candles on the mantle, lightning them with a Bic. O.S., from the backyard, a DOG BARKS. Clear brings the candle through the small house.
She can’t wait to leave. While trying to walk around Carter...
She considers... and understands.
She doesn’t react. Her expression remains cool as Murnau leads the
She drops the glass and quickly stumbles toward the kitchen, blindly banging the turntable as she passes. The needle skips, BUMPS... and settles... unmercifully at the start of ‘Rocky Mountain High.’
She follows the attendant, hitting him to help her boyfriend.
She gestures to him to approach her. He tenses, awkward, but moves closer. Clear lifts a plastic cover off a canvas. Beneath is a mess of green and brown and orange; teen angst poorly communicated. Glued to the center is a twisted piece of metal.
She has lived this so many times, she is long beyond crying...
She holds the paper as Alex, apparently, explains the story.
She immediately hangs up and speed dials.
She looks at him...
She looks out at the stars. He doesn’t eye her, either...
She opens the door and flashes one more look at Alex, but he appears unaware. She exits the car and as the door SHUTS...
She pauses to swig from her cup of vodka.
She peeks out of the front curtains and looks sadly upon her front yard. Her expression alters... alarmed...
She picks up her paper coffee cup.
She places a hand on Alex’s shoulder, herding him to the group.
She reaches up to reflexively pull the glass from her throat, creating a flood of spurting blood.
She sighs, “thanks a lot,” then proud, but not enough to make her appear foolish over her bad artwork, indicates the metal.
She slides a vinyl record album out of the sleeve and moves to the turntable on a shelf, thick with dust.
She studies the men before averting her eyes.
She was up there a minute ago...
She’s concerned about you.
She’s leaving the school. Moving
She’s next. She... is the last sight he’ll ever see.

Special agents Schreck and Weine standing in the street, backlit in the strong headlights of their car.
Special agents Schreck and Weine subtly survey the area, taking notes. Although their eyes are beyond sunglasses, the tilt of their head indicates they are watching Alex.
Startled, Alex reflexively throws the Penthouse across the room, pages tearing as it hits the sill. The giant bird flies off.
Startled, Alex turns to find...
Stop it! Hey, c’mon, man...
Stop the car! Let us out!

TURNING CAR DRIVER’S POV - CARTER’S CAR
Take care of those two, Alex.
Tears well as he grows frustrated trying to convey the unique experience. Being trained, veteran officers, Schreck and Weine observe; allow him to talk.
Tell us where he is. Wait at home,
Tense, her eyes look left, then right...
Terry’s name should be on this wall.
Terry, hot now, but with no idea what time will do to her in just five years, smiles obsequiously and mouths “shh.”
Thank you for the ride.
Thank you.
Thanks.
That true?
That’s Death’s design.
That’s Tod’s seat...
That’s a plan.
That’s him, but... he’s not here.
That’s seven hours and most of it is
That’s the only pattern. You should
That’s total bullshit. You can find
That’s what I’m doin’!
That’s why I was there last night.
That’s why it skipped Carter and
That’s why you’re taking me.
That... him?
That... whatever... that whatever
The 747 begins rolling out of the gate.
The BLACK SILENT SCREEN senses this moment before a distant blues harp introduces a contemporary band’s cover of Blood, Sweat, and Tears’ campy, yet haunting, gospel, ‘And When I Die.’
The CLACKING CONTINUES, demading Alex’s attention. His eyes turn forward.
The Co-Pilot arrives to secure the situation. He grabs Alex and begins forcibly ushering him up the aisle.
The Corolla lurches backward, freed from the grasp of the house.
The ENGINES WHIR as the jet gathers SPEED. He checks the window.
The JET ENGINES GRIND AND WHIR, as if the craft were in the midst of a last-ditch effort to regain stability; the sounds DEAFENING over the PASSENGERS’ cruelly hopeless SCREAMS.
The National Transportation Safety
The ROAR of the TRAIN seems exaggerated as they are frozen in horrified shock.
The THUNDERING TRAIN intensifies the situation...
The agents are taken aback by his answer; unnerved by his sincerity. Weine sighs and looks to his partner, who sighs, frustrated and turns away.
The agents study Alex...
The agents study her. Weine accepts the explanation. Schreck’s eyes take a walk around the artwork in the garage, pausing on a piece of twisted metal from the crash. Clear tenses, however...
The agents, F.B.I. badges displayed in their pockets, turn their eyes, suspicioulsy, toward Alex.
The airport doesn’t endorse
The backdoor opens. Clear charges out into the backyard.
The boy frantically moves to a paramedic.
The boys dump their change in a plastic bowl.
The breeze intensifies, lifting the burning debris. The smoke swirls around him. CAMERA PUSHES INTO ALEX as he senses the Presence. He looks ahead.
The breeze moves through the flowers... billows the cutains, posters and photos on the wall... until seemingly settling over the bassinet. The lace trim and blankets rustled by the breeze, it is hovering over the child.
The cabin buffets, as if passing mild turbulance. Then...
The cabin sharply JOLTS! Everyone tenses, GASPS. CAMERA SWEEPS BACK TO ALEX. And just as he clenches his backpack... the cabin BANGS, ROCKS. THE ENGINES SPOOL TO A STALL. METAL TWISTS under extreme PRESSURE. The cabin dips, angles, sharply to the right.
The car GUNS IT through another stop sign.
The car SHUDDERS, wheels spinning uselessly, as the arm “holds” onto the car.
The car pulls over.
The cause of the explosion is
The co-pilot and attendants start back toward the plane. Ms. Lewton hustles over to them and an airline representitive.
The corresponding jagged picture of the explosion is reminiscent of the “hand of Death,” seen earlier in the lightning. It is a graphic demonsration of the arbitrary nature of Death.
The curtains billow as if blown by a breeze. Ms. Lewton appears puzzled as she moves the curtains aside to find the windows closed. As CAMERA PUSHES IN ON HER, tensing and uneasy...
The dog starts to tear off toward the house. Clear runs toward the hanging tire. Leaps...
The door is softly pushed closed by the breeze.
The enormous engine. The expansive wings. Behind the tail, distant, a bolt of lightning FLASHES
The father respects this young man’s wishes. Ken nods “fair enough.” In the silent moment, O.S., from the television...
The figure is Alex Browning.
The fire roars angrily in the f.g., on the garage wall, however, the shadows do not match that of the flames, rather, the approaching form of Death appears.
The flight attendant restrains Carter with an extended forearm.
The flight attendants strap themselves in for take-off.
The front crossing arm drops INTO FRAME before the car. Carter turns and flashes a “that’s why I stopped” smile.
The gathered spectators begin whispering to one another, clearly about Alex, causing him to search for, what appears to be, his only ally, Clear Rivers.
The ghastly green and reds of the X-ray monitors flash as carry on bags flash through the machine. CAMERA MOVES COUNTER to the direction of the conveyor belt. The pace and excitement of the collective group escalates as departure approaches.
The graphic ZOOMS into the area in the rear right side, nearly above Tod’s seat.
The group begins down the airport toward the check-in counter. In the f.g., before the boys, strides a girl, CLEAR RIVERS, 17, reading the TROPIC OF CANCER. The loner in the group, Clear wears dark colors against the insecerity of her sex appeal. She appears aloof and more wordly then the other students.
The high-tech computer image traces the path of the explosion through the plane. A red line representing the fuel line zigs through the body of the plane, making a sharp turn forward to the fuel pump, which explodes. Jagged lines show the direction of the explosion moving backwards toward the rear of the plane.
The idea sends a shot of apprehension through Clear.
The interior bounces as the car clears a dip past the intersection. Alex, Clear, and Billy tenses...
The jet lurches. He looks...
The kids sneak sympathetic yet anxious glances at the man while continuing in their seats. George whispers over his shoulder...
The lightning STRIKES the top of the pole, SNAPPING two power lines, which whip in the wind.
The model’s pose and expression tempt Alex towards the momentary respite from his troubles. The caption beneath the centerfold pictorial reads, “Tymme Has Come Today!”
The moment of realization...
The mortician considers as he drains some yellowish green fluid from the table. He shrugs then continues his work...
The mortician eyes Alex, understanding. Alex senses this and eases. Clear moves toward Tod’s body, examining the neck area.
The mortician said Death has a
The mortician was whacked.
The muscle car ROARS onto U.S. 17 on ramp. A sign near the road indicates:
The muscle car ROARS past a stop sign.
The officers nod. One moves toward Carter as he dropped in a seat away from Alex. Terry sits behind Carter.
The officers remain quiet, gauging his explanation.
The officers study him, unsure yet carefully...
The officials are sympathetic and calm, exuding the confidence and security trauma victims look for at this time.
The others sit away from Alex and Tod. Alex appears wrought with guilt. He checks the others out of the corner of his eye.
The path of the explosion...
The photograph is turned over. On the back is marked in a young girl’s handwriting, “me and dad at the cabin. 1986.”
The plane is on its side, losing altitude. A slow, sick spin.
The plastic tabs FLIP and CLACK rapidly, stopping on... “DEPARTED.”
The power goes out. The room turns dark. Outside, brilliant bluish white arc lights CRACKLE. Clear moves to the window.
The power line ERUPTS! Alex disapears behind the wall of fire and sparks before falling limp on the driveway.
The power line STRIKES the ground, “closing in on” the dog.
The power line sadistically rests atop the automobile. The exposed end of the cable flutters and whips like a cat’s tail, SPARKING, CRACKLING, as it hits the ground.
The power lines WHACK angrily against the door.
The power lines strike the rooftop.
The remaining vodka oozes from the crack, pools, then drips off the edge of the desk...
The resulting THUNDER RUMBLES. A breeze blows beneath the door, carrying some Autumn leaves. CAMERA FOLLOWS the breeze across the floor to Alex’s pant legs which slightly flutter.
The room is empty, but the CAMERA is SLOWLY MOVING, as if ITSELF a PRESENCE. O.S., FOOTSTEPS move up the stairs. Alex appears, his parents behind him. He clicks on the light, sending a soft, safe, orange glow across the room.
The shoreline lights cast an orange haze on the stars, breaking through, infinitely above.
The skylight hinges CRACK open. Clear leads the way. Lifting the frame, then dropping it through the skylight window.
The storm has ceased. The room is QUIET.
The student continues down toward the observation deck. Clear looks at the opened guidebook.
The surviviors have all returned to the room. They may be a group, but they are alone with their thoughts. The door is opened by Ms. Whale.
The survivors dread the thought of recounting the horrible experience, yet collectively are ready to co-operate.
The thick branch falls from above, landing on top of him. He’s knocked to the ground and pinned... face down in the creek.
The three are silent.
The three others turn quiet, considering what it must be...
The train CLEARS FRAME and is gone... REVEALING, across the tracks, Alex, Clear and Carter can do nothing but watch Billy’s decapitated body macabrely wobbling on its two front feet before falling to the ground.
The train TEARS THROUGH the front end of the muscular car! GLASS and METAL ERUPT as the locomotive THUNDERS THROUGH FRAME.
The train WARNING WHISTLE BLOWS as Alex, Clear and Billy hustle away from the car, on the same side of the tracks. They quickly turn around, desperate to convince...
The train appears around the blind bend...
The turning car HONKS, ROARING through the intersection as Carter’s car nearly clips the rear end of the turning car.
The two agents remain respectful...
The two boys stop their heated exchange.
The unceremonious speed of obliteration of hundreds of lives is cruel as flaming debris plummets from the early evening sky.
The unmarked F.B.I. sedan maintains surveillance. Schreck and Weine sit inside.
The unmarked F.B.I. vehicle and two sheriff patrol cars pull up on the street. Schreck and Weine hustle out of the car.
The waves are small bur rhythmic, an enternal metronome. Numb, Alex Browning sits in the sand searching for an answer somewhere in the darkness of the evening sea.
The waves continue to shore. Clear looks up at the sky.
The windows are boarded. The front steps are worn and dilapidated. In the early evening moonlight, the dwelling appears eerie and ghostly. CAMERA CREEPS TOWARD the house, a pre-storm breeze swaying branches and blowing leaves. In the distance... LIGHTNING...
The wounds have been filled with wax and covered by greasepaint. At this proximity, however, it is apparent tiny cuts line the area above and below the large cut made by the wire.
Their attention drawn by the commotion, Clear and Alex watch Carter Horton approach them, followed by Terry, who stops, irked, near the curb at the crosswalk.
Their parents are concerned, but do not demonstratively show affection. Carter appears as if he wants to hug his MOTHER, but he can’t bring himself to betray his self-image.
Then maybe you should lay off the Then there’s no one left who can help
Then why bother? What’s the fuckin’
Then, get out of here.
Then, let’s go see him!
Then...
Then...
There is more of a hint of conincidence as the blades whirl and head swivels. The boy’s figure passes, blocking the breeze.
There is something more emotionally tense about the moment of boarding than take-off. CAMERA PICKS UP Ms. Lewton searching...
There they go and here we stay.
There!
There’s a couple of times, there...
They blame me for everything. Her,
They died! We lived!
They dive into a deep feverish kiss. Embracing, as if the tighter, the safer. She pulls him back down to the beach and lifts his shirt over his head.
They said he hung himself, but
They say that he got crazy once and
They’ll follow my car.
They’ll let one of us back on and
They’re watching me, see if I go to
Thirty-nine days have passed since
Thirty-nine.
Thirty-nine.
This afternoon... which is so
This airport does not support
This frightens everyone. Not the “prophecy,” but his panicky, irrational behavior.
This is Valerie Lewton. I need Agent
This is a creepy fact. Even though past the construction, Alex checks over his shoulder to assure they are out of harm’s way.
This just is. There’s a pattern in
This place?!
This won’t be safe.
Those guys are probably fifteen
Time, we must mourn and celebrate
To live my life to the fullest.
Tod MOVES INTO FRAME beside Alex...
Tod and George gives a wave, as does Alex, who is slapped on the back by Mr. Waggner.
Tod and George’s dad just called,
Tod die? Did it happen again, like on the plane?
Tod holds his friend’s arm for strength as he passes. Clear Rivers appears in line, holding a rose. She looks at the memorial, before her startling eyes turn to Alex. Even away from these circumstances, Alex would have trouble handling her intense maturity. As he begins to step away, she thrusts the rose to him. He looks up, puzzled.
Tod nervously stands before the assembly, reading aloud with a sad, yet optimistic resolve. CAMERA PUSHES IN, at an ominous ANGLE and rhythm, to the podium.
Tod nods. The two friends stand uncomfortably for a beat before Tod gestures to the podium.
Tod nudges Alex toward the tunnel, the three boys start down the ramp, passing Mr. Murnau who checks his list, counting heads...
Tod picks up a glass and swigs the remainder of his father’s scotch before moving off and climbing the stairs.
Tod puts the lid down and UNSNAPS his jeans. As he turns, pulls his pants down and sits, CAMERA MOVES to the CURTAINS... still... until a cold soft breeze causes them to billow. CAMERA FOLLOWS the wind as it CONTINUES into the room, rippling across shower curtains.
Tod races out of the bathroom with a dampened paper towel. CAMERA FOLLOWS as he hands it to Ms. Lewton seated next to Alex. The teacher places it on Alex’s forehead.
Tod shrugs, “I guess” as he moves to his father and gives him a warm hug goodbye. Mr. Waggner then gives his older son a hug.
Tod sits, back to CAMERA, which CRANES DOWN the tank, STOPPING behind the locking nut and water line pipe.
Tod subtly nods, reaching out to the memorial.
Tod watches, amazed and concerned for his friend. He looks across the cabin to...
Tod whips around...
Tod’s feet slip in the slick shampoo and water.
Tod’s hand ENTER FRAME. The scissors, sadistically just out of reach.
Tod’s hand moves across his brother’s name... GEORGE WAGGNER.
Tod’s hand tries to grab anything to hold him. His hand slips, knocking over a bottle of shampoo.
Tod’s parents remain asleep. O.S., a FAINT MUFFLE can be HEARD.
Tod, but he’s got some medical thing.
Tod, the plane crash...

Trembling. She takes a deep breath, getting a hold of herself.
Tres bien, Clear! Tout droit!
Troubled and deeply concerned, Clear studies Alex.
Two other students remove a cloth, unveiling a memorial sculpture etched with the names of the departed. The gathered stand and begin paying their respects to the memorial.
Um... okay... drive the speed limit,
Uncertain, and yet moved, Alex listens.
Under protest, Billy gets pushed back off the plane. Mr. Murnau and Ms. Lewton follow the pack of students and airline personnel as they move toward the exit, calling out to seated teachers and parents while hustling up the aisles.
Unless... we find the pattern.
Unshaven, a week and a half’s growth, and unkept, Alex looks horrible. An anxious zombie, especially in the dim glow of the lantern. Dark circles, from lack of sleep. Thin, from lack of food. Pale, from lack of sunlight.
Up ahead, scaffolds rise before a building being restored. O.S., HAMMERING and CONSTRUCTION WORK POUND from above. In the f.g., tools and metal spikes. After a “thumbs up” gesture, the rope is pulled UP AND OUT OF FRAME.
Upon the mention, CAMERA CRANES DOWN, TURNING, TWISTING UNTIL FINDING ALEX in a straight on CLOSE-UP. He listens, tense...
VROOM! A car indeed makes a right, TEARING through the intersection. Once past, Alex takes Clear by the arm and hustles them across the street.
Valerie Lewton places a rose at the base of the memorial then studies the engraved names as the students move past behind her. Alex approaches, watching her as she reaches out with a trembling finger, touching the etched names...
Valerie Lewton races in, desperately pressing her hand to her throat as she GURGLES and CHOKES on the blood from the wound. She leans over the now red sink. She turns pale from the blood loss.
Valerie Lewton tears off a piece of plastic bubble wrap. She stands over her desk, placed against the wall. On the desk is her desktop computer monitor.
Valerie places the record on the stereo and sets the needle on the album. CAMERA SWEEPS IN CLOSE TO THE TURNTABLE, although spinning around and around... the bold letters of the center label can be read... JOHN DENVER... the opening acoustic guitar of ‘Rocky Mountain High’ has never sounded so eerie...

With a DEEP GASP, he does so. Drinking up the air. It appears to infuse him with another blast of adrenaline as he manages to push with his arms and free himself from the pinning tree branch.
