ROCKET has just run out into the path of the car, and is staring<br />
stupidly at the approaching vehicle.<br />
ADAM applies brakes violently to avoid hitting ROCKET.<br />
EXT: BRIDGE AND RIVER -- DAY<br />
The hunters' van smashes into the back of ADAM and BARBARA's<br />
station wagon, and sends it into the side of the rickety bridge.<br />
It crashes through the railing and hovers a moment on the edge.<br />
ROCKET has ambled slowly out of the way, unhurt.<br />
The Hunters' van also screeches to a halt in the middle of the<br />
bridge.<br />
INT: THE CAR -- DAY<br />
A piling has smashed through the window on the passenger side,<br />
crushing the upper part of BARBARA's arm. She is wailing in pain<br />
and fright.<br />
ADAM attempts everything at once. He tries to help BARBARA. He<br />
tries to get out of the car to save his own skin. He attempts to<br />
maneuver the car onto the bridge again. None of this succeeds.<br />
The car rocks back and forth a moment, and then slides forward<br />
toward the river.<br />
EXT: CAR AND BRIDGE -- DAY<br />
The station wagon plunges into the rushing water. It floats for<br />
a moment, and then sinks like a stone.<br />
The hunters' van peels away from the scene of the accident. For<br />
the first time we see an I LOVE NEW YORK bumper sticker on the<br />
car, directly beneath the bloody head of the dead doe.<br />
UNDERWATER --<br />
The station wagon floats downward with panic-stricken ADAM and<br />
BARBARA inside. For a moment we hear their screams, then as the<br />
car fills up with water, the screams are cut off.<br />
EXT: BRIDGE AND RIVER -- DAY<br />
ROCKET is standing on the bridge staring into the water.<br />
Bubbles of air come up from the bottom and break on the surface<br />
of the water.<br />
The bubbles stop.<br />
ROCKET trots off in the direction of town.<br />
FADE TO BLACK.<br />

INT: THE HOUSE -- TWILIGHT<br />
NOISE OF A SLOW CLOCK TICKING.<br />
One after another, we see the rooms of the Maitland house, still,<br />
empty, dimly lighted. From the top of the house to the bottom.<br />
The last room to be seen is the living room.<br />
The clock stops ticking.<br />
A moment of silence and stillness.<br />
Suddenly and for no apparent reason the fire laid in the hearth<br />
ignites and burns with a furious cheerfulness.<br />
BARBARA and ADAM enter, dazed, wet and bedraggled.
