The Horseman falls to his knees. He starts to CHOP at <strong>the</strong> floor with<br />

both axes. CHOPPING, CHOPPING, CHOPPING... making quick work <strong>of</strong> it...<br />

INT. KILLIAN'S HOME, CRAWL SPACE -- NIGHT<br />

A hole appears as debris falls...<br />

Thomas looks up. He tries to crawl away.<br />

The Horseman's arm SHOVES through from above -- grabbing Thomas <strong>and</strong><br />

YANKING him up through <strong>the</strong> hole.<br />

EXT. KILLIAN'S FARM, TOWN OUTSKIRTS -- NIGHT<br />

Brom rides from <strong>the</strong> forest.<br />

Ahead, at Killian's house, among scattered homes on <strong>the</strong> outskirts <strong>of</strong><br />

town, Daredevil rides up as <strong>the</strong> Headless Horseman walks out with his<br />

sack <strong>of</strong> heads. The Horseman ties <strong>the</strong> sack to his saddle <strong>and</strong> leaps up.<br />

The Horseman ignores Brom. But Brom refuses to be ignored.<br />

Brom puts his reins in his mouth, aims his rifle... FIRING...<br />

BOOM -- <strong>the</strong> slug blows <strong>the</strong> Horseman <strong>of</strong>f Daredevil, EXPLODING.<br />

Daredevil keeps going. The Horseman's smoldering body is left "face<br />

down."<br />

Brom halts his horse. He climbs down, pleased.<br />

The Horseman moves.<br />

Brom backs away, satisfaction diminishing.<br />

The Horseman rises to his knees.<br />

Brom falls to <strong>one</strong> knee, begins reloading. He fills <strong>the</strong> gun from his<br />

powder horn.<br />

The Horseman st<strong>and</strong>s, unshea<strong>the</strong>s his sword <strong>and</strong> turns. The blast has<br />

exposed rotten flesh <strong>and</strong> maggot-infested muscle.<br />

Brom readies his ramrod, but <strong>the</strong>re's no time. He rises, hefting his<br />

rifle, straight at <strong>the</strong> Horseman with a yell...<br />

The Horseman is on him. Brom swings <strong>the</strong> rifle, blocking.<br />

The battle is on, with Brom fending <strong>of</strong>f <strong>the</strong> Horseman's sword with <strong>the</strong><br />

rifle -- CLANK... CLANK... CLANK...<br />

ACROSS THE FIELD, <strong>Ichabod</strong> <strong>and</strong> Gunpowder arrive...<br />

UP THE FIELD, <strong>the</strong> Horseman makes a backh<strong>and</strong>ed swing, knocks Brom's<br />

rifle away, sends Brom to <strong>the</strong> ground...<br />

The Horseman walks away from Brom. <strong>Ichabod</strong> sees this, registers it.<br />

Brom pulls a knife <strong>and</strong> throws it.<br />

The knife blade goes through <strong>the</strong> Horseman from back to front, like a<br />

spear thrust through a smoldering sack <strong>of</strong> rotten flesh. The Horseman<br />

pulls Brom's knife, blade first, from his chest <strong>and</strong> turns upon Brom.<br />

Brom scrambles up, flees, running toward Killian's. The Horseman<br />

THROWS <strong>the</strong> knife...<br />

THWAP -- <strong>the</strong> knife imbeds in Brom's thigh.<br />

The Horseman strides to Brom.<br />

<strong>Ichabod</strong> closes in, pulling an unlit lantern <strong>of</strong>f his saddle.<br />

The Horseman changes his sword grip, blade open... plants <strong>one</strong> foot on<br />

Brom's back, raising his sword to skewer...<br />

<strong>Ichabod</strong> arrives at full gallop -- SMASHES <strong>the</strong> lantern into <strong>the</strong><br />

Horseman -- KNOCKING <strong>the</strong> Horseman <strong>of</strong>f Brom.<br />

IN THE DISTANCE, Theodore <strong>and</strong> Glen arrive on horseback. They halt<br />

where <strong>the</strong>y are, watching.<br />

Brom runs, limping to Killian's house, a goal in sight: FARM<br />

IMPLEMENTS propped <strong>the</strong>re. Brom grabs SCYTHES with long curved blades,<br />

<strong>one</strong> in each h<strong>and</strong>.<br />

The Horseman rises.<br />

<strong>Ichabod</strong> leaps <strong>of</strong>f Gunpowder, runs to Brom's side.<br />

Once more, <strong>the</strong> Horseman turns away.
