Ext. Cliff — Vantage Point — Night

Fleabag watches in despair as Danny falls wounded.

He kicks Drummer.

Headlights approach.

He drops flat.

Sarah’s van arrives nearby.

Fleabag watches Blake and Danny through his scope, but Drummer runs down, BARKING a warning.

He retreats to higher ground.

Spots the glowing cave.

Stalks down.

Int. Diggers Cave — Night

Fleabag enters, studies the ancient murals.

Sees the capsule.

The fire still burns. He walks around the silvery capsule, studying it.

He taps it with his rifle barrel.

Nothing happens.

He examines the ancient murals, runs his hand across the paintings.

Suddenly—a loud HISS.

Fleabag spins toward the sound.

The cylinder is opening, the top half hovering impossibly above the bottom.

The capsule doesn’t just open—it unfolds.

The interior glows with bioluminescence—not harsh light, but the gentle pulse of a heartbeat made visible.

An old man emerges—Marwen, ancient, confused, dripping with fluid.

His other hand clutches a stone slab.

Marwen looks around, disoriented.

Sees Fleabag and approaches with outstretched hand.

But Marwen, weak and confused, continues forward.

Marwen stumbles on a rock, lurches toward Fleabag.

Fleabag panics, pulls the trigger.

CRACK!

Marwen’s head snaps back.

He crumples to the cave floor.

The slab CRASHES down, splitting open.

Three fossils spill across the stone.

Fleabag stares at Marwen’s body, then at the fossils. They appear luminous, otherworldly light.

He kneels, picks up the fossils.

They’re warm, alive with energy.

He pulls Marwen’s bag away, stuffs the fossils inside.

He runs from the cave into the night.
