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 />

-----------------------------------------------------------------<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.
