Ivan and Lora lay resting. All quiet around them. Ivan is
breathing heavily and resisting the pain as much as he can.
Lora raises her head. Ivan sensing she might instinctively
get up, pushing her steady.
She notices the quietness.
LORA
Maybe...he left?
Ivan shakes his head in disagreement.
IVAN
He...can only see this stone. That
is why he is not firing.
LORA
How can you know that?
IVAN
Believe me...I've seen sniper
operate before.
(beat)
Whoever this guy is he's not keen
letting us get outta this hill
alive.
LORA
Oh God...what can we do?
Ivan looks at the rocks above them.
IVAN
It's best...we split...
Lora's worst fears came to live.
LORA
What?! No! No way! We will go
together! I will carry you if I
need to!
IVAN
Lora...
LORA
I said NO WAY! Iam not leaving you
here!
IVAN
Listen to me...please...
(beat)
If we continue together, it is easy
prey...I cannot move fast like
this...you're too weak to carry me
fast...
LORA
No!
IVAN
Listen, God damn it!
(beat)
I...will go up again. Iam slow, but
I can take care of myself. I know
how to avoid him...I'll reach out
to the other phone try get to
network and call for help...
(beat)
You wll move faster on your own.
Just continue zig-zaging 'till you
hit the road. Then seek help...you
will be outta his reach...
Lora senses the inevitability of this. Cries.
LORA
Ivan, please...
IVAN
No other way, baby...He cannot
track us at same time...He'll see
me as an easier target, go with
me...You'll have plenty of chance
to reach safety.
LORA
What if there are two of them?
IVAN
We gotta take a chance...
Lora sinks into her brother's body. Cries to oblivion.
Ivan confronts her. Tears rushing down his dirty cheeks.
LORA
You promised you won't leave me!
You fucking promised me!
IVAN
I promised I would get you to
safety...I'll do that...just let me
be on this...
LORA
No! You gonna die...you gonna die
like mom and...I can't be
alone...not anymore...
IVAN
Lora...maybe good to know this
now...our parents didn't die...
LORA
What?
IVAN
I'm talking about our real
parents...
LORA
How can you say this?
IVAN
We were adopted...very young...Mom
told me when she thought I could
handle it...she said to keep it
away from you...you were so
sensitive...
LORA
Who were they? Our real parents?
IVAN
Nobodies...at least no ones who
could care for us mom and dad did.
(beat)
I was angry at mom for telling me
at the time...tried to find
(MORE)
IVAN (cont'd)
them...but I realized we had what
we had because we were left by
those people...and we had enough
with mom and dad...
(beat)
Sometimes...destiny takes you to
the best outcome...but you gotta
trigger it...let me trigger it...
LORA
No...
IVAN
(coaching)
Hey! You've managed through applied
math at St. Georges...you'll manage
this!
(beat)
I'll start crawling...gimme couple
of minutes 'till I disappear above
the verge, and you start running
down...and you don't stop, you hear
me? Whatever happens, you don't
stop...
Ivan rolls aside from the stone. Checks surroundings.
He tears himself outta Lora's gasp and starts crawling
slowly.
Lora observes him moving. She is all in tears. Still, she
obeys him. Stays tucked below the stone.
Slowly, drag by drag, Ivan disappears above the verge.
Lora awaits the sounds. There are no bullet zips. She calms
herself into working on this. She gets ready.
She sprints down.
Lora blazes downhill, zig-zaging faster than ever before.
She doesn't stop, she doesn't look back, just a straight run
to the road.
She shakes from time to time, but does not fall.
The road becomes more and more flat as she pushes toward the
end of it.
Ivan stops crawling. His arm hurts him like hell, showing
off severe bleeding under wraps.
He takes a chance by stranding up, trying to move on his
feet.
The rocks crumble and roll below, making him slide down on
each step.
A bullet ZIPPING comes along, swinging just above his head.
Ivan drops on his knees. Gathers his strength and stands up
moving in a zig-zag manner, the faster up.
Lora suddenly stops, and immediately gets down. She listens
around like a squirrel in the open.
She checks her surroundings. She is alone.
She continues to run down.
Ivan grabs onto rocks with all his might using only his
solid arm.
ZIPPING is now all around him.
He sees the rattled backpacks still laying on the same place
where they left them.
He goes back into the crawling mode now. Slowly and
carefully approaching the equipment.
He reaches a backpack. Rips it open. All handy junk scatters
around.
Ivan searches for the cell phone. He finds it.
He checks the network - still none.
He turns his attention to one of the ground WALLS margining
the strip - the one facing the direction of the bullet zips.
He crawls to it, taking both backpacks with him, using his
hurt arm.
He SCREAMS in pain, feeling the baggage on his crushed bone
but his doesn't stop. A lion hart on this fella.
He reaches the wall. Takes one backpack all the way next to
it.
Then, takes a pause to catch his breath from the pain.
He takes another backpack and places it on top of the first
one.
He exhales deeply easing the harsh pain.
He takes the cell phone in his good hand and starts climbing
the wall pushing himself off the backpacks, and exposing
himself in a clear view.
He pushes up as far as he can.
Ivan's hand with the call phone comes off the verge,
exposing itself to the plain grassy ground above.
All of the sudden, the phone comes ALIVE announcing there's
network on a reach.
Ivan below gasps at the sound. He completed the mission.
His fingers above try to push the right buttons for help.
He goes for 1...1... Can't reach 2.
A ZIP comes by, extremely close to his hand.
Ivan does not blink. He does another push of the button -
right spotting number 2.
Call is established giving a standby sound.
A very faint VOICE is heard from the other side, cannot even
be heard, but Ivan hears it.
IVAN
(yells out)
Help!...HELP!!! HELP!!!
He figures he's way beneath to reach the speaker. He takes
his breath and goes for his win.
Ivan's head arises from the wall verge coming to the cell
phone.
But instead of speaking in it, Ivan gazes on the bushes and
hills straight ahead enhanced by an invisible enemy who is
so present around.
A bullet ZIP'S straight toward Ivan's head.
Cell phone splattered with blood goes down alongside Ivan's
body.
Lora reacts to the GUNSHOT heard.
She stops immediately sensing what this could mean. He face
crumples into pain as she bursts into tears.
LORA
Ivan!...No...no, no NO! NOOO!!!
She drops down, crying. Nothing matters at the moment, just
letting her pain overcome her.
ZIPs of water come to drop at a few seconds scale first,
then faster and faster.
Lora jerks her head up, surprised by the rain. It's looks
like she's been sleeping for a while on the end of the trail
lost in her exhaustion and pain of losing her brother.
She feels the rain on her face, as being reborn on a
baptizing ritual.
All is quiet around her except for the water DROPPINGS on
various things.
Lora spots a near puddle. Starts drinking with all her
might.
She slowly stands, dirty up to her neck but unsure where to
head to.
The downhill is behind her - in front of her a goat path to
unknown among more dense bushes and higher trees.
Lora goes on the goat trail.
Lora pushes herself through the branches and the rain. She
constantly looks around but more of finding something to eat
than checking her whereabouts.
Visibility is low, but the trail is still ahead.
Lora tries calming herself from any sounds except for her
walking. Tears overcome her from time to time, but she
pushes it back.
She stops. Concentrates on her hearing. No notable sounds.
She continues.
Lora sits down leaned on a tree. She fights her desperation,
but won't cry. Doing her best to keep it together.
She spots something on the ground. Like a cat of prey, she
quickly snaps it with her hand and moves it closer to her
face.
It's a fairly juicy centipede. Lora's mouth tremble of
disgust, but her hunger is taking over her instincts.
She takes a huge bite at the centipede, cutting it in half
with her mouth.
As she munches it uncomfortably, a SOUND comes along.
Lora stands up immediately, and looks around.
The SOUND gets closer, and it seems like dog BARKING.
Lora's first urge flushes her into seeking help.
LORA
Hey! HEY! OVER HERE! HELP! HELP ME!
She stops realizing that this might not be helpful on
arrival.
She starts moving away from the sound, but now it's getting
real close - vicious BARKING without halt.
Lora turns to RUN.
Lora sprints through the branches and bushes, a menace being
on her trail.
She looks back to measure the distance, but keeps the pace,
no stopping.
A dark shadow of an animal flushes out from the vegetation,
running straight after her.
It approaches closer and closer, no way it can be outrun.
Lora does not lose her strength. Just keeps moving forward
as fast as she can.
A bone-chilling ROAR and the animal makes a jump at Lora.
Lora backs off, but cannot dodge the attack. A vicious,
BARKING German shepard is on her, making her fall from the
trail straight to the open road they have been on before
traveling the minibus.
Lora is down on the ground doing her best to avoid the
mighty jaw from snapping her neck.
The dog is trained one, goes straight for the most
vulnerable part of the victim's body.
With the corner of her eye, Lora sees a bigger, broken
branch lying beside.
She takes it just in time to stick it into the shepard's
mouth before it takes a bite outta her.
The dog does not give up. It goes through branch snapping it
in half.
Now, it's Lora's neck turn. The dog goes after it when --
-- A LOUD BANG is heard.
The dog is swiped away from Lora, taking the shot in the
head.
It crumbles to the ground, motionless...dead.
Lora instinctively looks ahead in the direction of the shot
and stands up.
A dark figure of a corpulent male stands in front of a large
terrain vehicle.
He lowers his rifle, and comes closer to Lora. She backs up.
As he closes by, he is being recognized - the MAN with his
family on a picnic, as seen before by the trio.
THE MAN
Are you all right?
Lora takes a few moments to gather from the attack and
figure the situation.
She then bursts into plea.
LORA
Oh, my God, please help me! My
brother is...is up there, my
boyfriend is dead...We gotta go to
the police!
THE MAN
Calm down...Come with me...
He takes his oversized jacket and wraps Lora in it, almost
covering her in total.
He takes her to the jeep. Let her go inside.
He's on the driver's door.
The jeep starts moving.
