The document is a script for a potential new season of the TV show Lost. It begins with Ben and Sawyer barricading themselves in a house from an unknown pursuer. They find Eko dead inside. Later, Richard appears injured and claims the Man in Black attacked him. Sawyer punches Richard, blaming him for prior deaths. Ben then appears, saying the Man in Black has already won and will have Ben kill Kate to prove it. The script sets up further conflict between the survivors and the Man in Black.

ACT 1, SCENE 1
THE SHOT BEGINS WITH A CLOSED DOOR, AGED AND DUSTY. MOMENTS
PASS, WHEN IT IS SUDDENLY SLAMMED OPEN, AND BENJAMIN LINUS
STUMBLES IN, FOLLOWED BY SAWYER. THE SKY OUTSIDE IS PURPLE.
BLOODSOAKED AND CARRYING A SHOTGUN AND PISTOL RESPECTIVELY,
BEN AND SAWYER MOVE QUICKLY AROUND THE DOOR, AND SLAM IT,
LOCKING IT SHUT. THEY QUICKLY MOVES TO A CABINET NEAR THE
WALL, AND PULL IT IN FRONT OF THE DOOR WITH EFFORT, BEN
FINALLY COLLAPSING IN FRONT OF IT, PANTING HARD. SAWYER
STANDS OVER HIM, A DARK LOOK ON HIS FACE AS HE STARES AT THE
DOOR.
SAWYER
Did you see, did they--
BEN
I don’t know, I thought they were
behind us. Why would I have seen
them? I was running just as fast as
you, James.
SAWYER (SIGHING WITH ANGER AND
EXHAUSTION)
Damn it...wait here, Rambo, I’ll
check if it’s clean.
(CONTINUED)

3. CONTINUED: 2.
Ben nods as Sawyer slowly begins walking through the house,
pistol in hand. We see that it is Ben’s house at the
Barracks, everything still as it was. Even the Risk game is
untouched. Tension builds as silence prevails for a few
seconds. As Sawyer moves into another room, we see another
shot of Ben, looking up suddenly at a thumping noise. His
eyes widen as he stands and runs into the living room.
BEN
James--watch out, their here!
The camera turns to see a shadowy figure in the dark, slowly
walking towards him. Ben shoots the shotgun mercilessly,
cocking between shots. One, two, three fires and we see a
figure fall as he moans, crashing onto the Risk game and
scattering the pieces everywhere. Sawyer runs in and looks
down. His eyes close as he turns away in disgust and
sadness.
SAWYER
Damn it, not him too...
THE CAMERA TURNS SLOWLY TO THE DEAD FIGURE ON THE GROUND,
WHO IS REVEALED TO BE MR. EKO.

ACT 2, SCENE 1
IT IS NIGHT. JACK, KATE, HURLEY, AND SAWYER ARE WALKING
THROUGH THE JUNGLE. HURLEY TURNS TO JACK.
HURLEY
So what it’s like, dude?
JACK
What d’you mean?
SAWYER
You know what he means, Doc.
Jack stops and glances at Sawyer for a moment.
JACK
I don’t know what you want me to
say, Hurley. I feel the same.
HURLEY
But...you don’t feel, like,
enlightened? Aren’t you supposed to

HURLEY (cont’d)
be a god or something now, like
Jacob?
JACK
He wasn’t a god, Hurley. And I
might be the protector, but I’m
still the same Jack.
HURLEY
No, I don’t think you are. The old
Jack wouldn’t have drank from that
cup.
KATE (NERVOUSLY)
Guys, shut up. Someone’s coming.
THE FOUR TURN TO LOOK AT THE FOREST, AND FROM THE LEAVES
WALKS A BLOODY RICHARD, STILL LIMPING FROM THE MONSTER’S
THROW. SAWYER STANDS STILL, STARING AT HIM.
RICHARD (WEAKLY)
Thank God I’ve found you. It was
Him. He attacked me. He didn’t even
let me talk.
JACK
Where’ve you been? Where are Ben
and Miles?
RICHARD
Ben’s with the Man in Black. I saw
them leaving together. I don’t know
what happened to Miles. I-
Suddenly, Sawyer leaps at Richard, punching him in the face.
He falls to the ground. Hurley shouts and Kate grabs Sawyer,
holding him back from another attack. Jack leans down to
look at the unconscious Richard, and glances up at Sawyer
JACK (ANGRILY)
What the hell was that, Sawyer?
SAWYER (UPSET AND ANGRY)
It was him! That son of a bitch put
the C4 on the plane! He made that
sub blow up! If he hadn’t run off,
they’d still be alive!
JACK
You don’t know that, Sawyer.
(CONTINUED)

5. CONTINUED: 4.
SAWYER (TRYING TO SHOVE OFF KATE)
I DO KNOW! I’m gonna kill him, damn
it! He did this!
HURLEY
Stop fighting, Sawyer. It’s my
fault.
Sawyer pauses and stares at Hurley. Jack shakes his head.
JACK
No, Hurley, it’s the Man in Black’s
fault. You know that.
HURLEY
If I hadn’t lead you all to Him,
none of this ever would have
happened. I shouldn’t have tried to
be a leader, Jack.
SAWYER (SOFTLY)
Shut up, Hugo. Jack’s right. It’s
His fault, not ours. And I’m gonna
kill him for it.
He walks off into the jungle. Kate stares for a moment, then
follows him. Jack and Hurley are left to pick up Richard.
HURLEY (TO JACK)
It wasn’t my fault, was it, Jack?
JACK
No. And don’t ever think that.
Hurley nods slowly, and the two of them lift up Richard’s
unconscious form and follow Sawyer and Kate.
ACT 2, SCENE 2
Ben and the Man in Black are still standing over the well.
Ben is staring at the Man in Black.
MAN IN BLACK(TURNING)
What is it, Benjamin?
BEN
What did you mean, destroy the
island? Do you even have a plan at
all?
The MIB pulls out a knife and begins to clean it
(CONTINUED)

6. CONTINUED: 5.
MAN IN BLACK
You know, Ben, I’ve been on this
island for a long time. Longer than
you can ever begin to imagine. And,
I’ve had time to think. There are
more thoughts in my head right now
than you will have in a lifetime.
And I can tell you for a fact that
I do have a plan. And so far, it’s
going perfectly.
The MIB slips the knife away and sits on a log.
MAN IN BLACK
You know, when I was a boy, my
mother showed me something that
couldn’t exist. She showed me a
glowing light in a cave full of
water. She said "Every man has some
of it, but they always want more."
My own brother threw me in that
same light, and I got more of it
than I ever wanted. That’s why I am
what I am. Dead.
BEN (LOOKING AT HIM IN SHOCK)
What? That’s impossible. Dead is
dead.
MAN IN BLACK
Usually. In my case, though, it
isn’t. I can take you to see my
body in the caves, if you’d like.
(Pause) Anyway, that was what got
me thinking. This light, you call
it electromagnatism, it gave me
something worse than death. It gave
me cursed life. So, why would any
man want more of it? They wouldn’t.
But I’m gonna give it to them, just
a little bit. I don’t suppose
you’ve ever wondered why I kill so
many people, have you? Though
you’re on your way yourself.
BEN (EMOTIONLESS)
I’ve never given it much thought.
Anger, I suppose.
MAN IN BLACK(LAUGHS)
Not quite, Benjamin. You see, I’ve
been creating an army.
(CONTINUED)

7. CONTINUED: 6.
BEN (CONFUSED)
What?
The MIB stands.
MAN IN BLACK
Yes, Benjamin, an army. And I have
almost everything I need. Bodies,
of course, and Jacob’s death, which
was remarkably difficult, but I
managed thanks to you. All that’s
left is the cave.
BEN
I don’t know what you’re talking
about.
MAN IN BLACK
You will soon enough. Even now,
everything is in my favor.
The MIB walks into the jungle, smiling slightly. Ben stands
still, staring after him.
BEN (VERY SOFTLY)
Not everything.
Ben follows the Man in Black, disappearing into the jungle.
CUT TO BLACK
ACT 3, SCENE 1
Miles is standing over the bodies of Whitmore and Zoe,
muttering softly and shaking slightly. He does this for a
moment, then nods.
MILES
Thanks. I’ll remember that.
Miles leaves the closet, and begins to leave the house when
a hand grabs his shoulder. He shouts in surprise.
VOICE
Shut up, he might hear you,
brother.
We see that behind him is a filthy but alive Desmond.
MILES
Who the hell are you?
(CONTINUED)

8. CONTINUED: 7.
DESMOND
My name is Desmond. Where’s that
man?
MILES
Who? The nutso who killed those
guys? He already left like an hour
ago.
DESMOND
Good. I need your help, Miles.
MILES
Why should I--wait, how do you know
my name?
DESMOND (SMILING)
Let’s just say I’ve met you in
another life.
ACT 3, SCENE 2
We are on a beach on Hydra Island. A lone figure lies
unconscious on the beach, beaten and torn. One of the
members of Whitmore’s Science Team approaches from beyond
the Sonar Fence. He glances down, shotgun in hand, at the
man, who, as we pan down, is revealed as Frank Lapidus.
The scene changes, and Frank is now lying on a bed in the
Hydra infirmary, the same bed that Desmond was in in
"Happily Ever After". He slowly wakens and groans.
FRANK
Damn, that door hurt.
A man walks up to him, who we have never met before. He sits
on the bed beside Frank’s.
MAN
Good to see you’re awake. My name’s
William James.
He holds out his hand to shake, which Frank takes.
WILL
So, how did you come to end up on
that beach?
FRANK
I was...on a sub--
Will suddenly stands.
(CONTINUED)

9. CONTINUED: 8.
WILL (OUT OF DOOR)
We’ve got one of them!
Nearly insantaneously a group of people come inside, and
grab Frank’s arms. Frank stares at them.
FRANK
What the hell’re you doing?
WILL
I’m sorry to do this, but we’re
going to need to ask you a couple
of questions.
FRANK
What kind of questions are we
talking about here?
Will leans in close to Frank’s face.
WILL
Where the hell is Charles Whitmore?
ACT 3, SCENE 3
We see Richard’s eye open. he is lying in one of the tents
at the desolate beach camp. It is morning. Kate brings a cup
of water to his mouth, which he drinks, sputtering.
RICHARD
What...happened? Where are we?
KATE
Sawyer knocked you out. We’re at
the camp. Right back where we
started.
RICHARD
Where are Sun and Jin? Sayid?
Frank? They weren’t with you.
KATE
They’re dead. He killed them with
your C4.
Richard groans and lies back for a moment. Kate looks out at
the beach. Richard suddenly looks back up.
RICHARD (CONFUSED)
But, we never put C4 on the plane.
Ben still has it.
(CONTINUED)

10. CONTINUED: 9.
KATE
Then who put it there?
RICHARD
I have no idea, Kate. Probably
Whitmore.
Jack enters the tent, looking at Richard.
JACK
Good, your awake. Feeling any more
pain?
RICHARD (SARCASTICALLY)
No, I feel fantastic, Jack.
JACK (LAUGHING)
Well, you’re gonna have to lie down
for a little while. I don’t know
what the Man in Black did to you,
but you might have broken your
leg. I found a few antibiotics in
Sawyer’s old tent. You should take
one every hour for the pain.
HURLEY (OUTSIDE)
Jack, come outside, quick!
JACK (RUNNING OUTSIDE)
What is it, Hurley?
SAWYER
Ben.
The camera turns with Jack to see Ben walking towards them
across the beach. He stops right in front of them.
BEN
I hope I’m not interrupting.
SAWYER
Where the hell have you been,
Darnay?
BEN
I have a message from the Man in
Black.
SAWYER (GRABBING BEN)
What the hell would you be doing
with Him?
(CONTINUED)

11. CONTINUED: 10.
BEN (CALMLY)
He wants me to tell you that
there’s nothing you can do: he’s
already won. It doesn’t matter that
Jack’s the new protecter. It’s too
late.
HURLEY
How do you know he’s the-
JACK
Forget it, Hurley. Ben, why are you
telling us this?
BEN (LOOKING LEFT)
To distract you.
Sawyer turns and yells, for the Man in Black is standing
next to Richard’s tent, holding Kate, the knife to her
throat. Richard is lying still in the wide open tent. Ben
wrentches from Sawyer’s grip and moves to join the Man in
Black.
MAN IN BLACK
I’m sorry it’s come to this, Jack
Sawyer runs for him, with a look of pure fury, but stops
when the Man in Black puts the knife to Kate’s throat.
Sawyer stops, and Kate’s eyes fill with tears.
HURLEY
It’s alright, guys! He can’t kill
her, remember?
MIB
Oh, yes, that’s true. That’s why
I’m going to ask Ben to do it.
Ben nods and takes the knife, yanking Kate into the same
position that the Man in Black had.
HURLEY
Ben, what’re you doing?
Sawyer pulls out a pistol, (the same one from the opening
scene) and aims it at Ben
MAN IN BLACK
I wouldn’t recommend that. You’ll
probably shoot her. And even if you
hit him, he’ll still slit her
throat.
Sawyer stands for a moment, then slowly lowers the gun.
(CONTINUED)

12. CONTINUED: 11.
SAWYER (SOFTLY, TO MAN IN BLACK)
Let her go, you son of a bitch.
MAN IN BLACK
I’m afraid I can’t do that, James.
SAWYER
You killed them all. ALL OF THEM!
KATE (SOBBING)
Don’t, Sawyer. Don’t.
MAN IN BLACK
No, James, that was you. If you
hadn’t pulled the cords, no one
would have died.
JACK
Don’t listen to him, Sawyer! (to
MIB) What the hell do you want?
MAN IN BLACK
I want to know where the cave is,
Jack.
JACK
Why the hell would I tell you that?
MAN IN BLACK
Because if you don’t, the only
women who ever loved you will die.
Your choice, Jack.
Jack stares at him. The Man slowly smiles.
CUT TO BLACK
ACT 4, SCENE 1
Kate is still in the arms of Ben, and the beach seems to be
at a standstill. All that can be heard is the waves crashing
on the shores. Jack is standing right where he was before,
seeming to be having an inward battle. Finally, he turns his
tear-steaked face upward.
JACK
I...I can’t do it. I can’t tell
you.
MAN IN BLACK (NO LONGER SMILING)
I’m very sorry to hear that. (To
Ben) Kill her.
(CONTINUED)

13. CONTINUED: 12.
Ben digs the knife into Kate’s throat a little, and blood
falls. She screams and begins to sob. Sawyer’s face is hard
and angry.
JACK
Please...don’t do this, Ben.
Ben says nothing, but stands, expressionless.
HURLEY (TO MAN IN BLACK)
No one needs to die, dude! Stop!
MAN IN BLACK
Yes, no one needs to die. Tell me
where the cave is, Jack. Or her
blood will be on your hands.
Sawyer turns to Jack, his face hard and pained.
SAWYER
Tell him, Jack! He’s already killed
Sun and Jin and Sayid. Just tell
him!
JACK
I can’t, James. I’m the protector
of this island.
Sawyer, on hearing this, suddenly lunges at Jack, and knocks
him to the ground, punching him in the face over and over.
Jack lies on the ground in shock and pain, blood all over
his face. Hurley runs forward to stop him.
SAWYER
TELL HIM, YOU SON OF A BITCH! TELL
HIM WHERE IT IS!
JACK (THROUGH THE BLOOD)
I can’t James. This is bigger than
all of us. It’s our desti-
SAWYER
I’M SICK OF HEARING ABOUT YOU AND
YOUR DAMN DESTINY! (Pause, begins
sobbing) I’ve lost everyone, Jack.
My parents, Cassidy, Juliet,
they’re all gone. The only people
who ever gave a damn about me are
either dead or gone. Don’t take
another one from me, Jack.
(CONTINUED)

14. CONTINUED: 13.
JACK
I love her too, Sawyer.
SAWYER
Not if you let him kill her.
Jack lies still, breathing. Hurley has frozen awkwardly.
Finally, Jack sighs.
JACK
Fine...I’ll tell you...
KATE
(CRYING) No, don’t do it Ja--
The Man in Black punches her, and she stops talking. Sawyer
shouts.
He stumbles to his feet. Kate is conscious, but unable to do
anything. The Man in Black’s face is smiling again.
MAN IN BLACK
Fantastic. Lead the way, Jack.
JACK
Wait, what?
MAN IN BLACK
You didn’t think I’d just let you
tell me a lie and get her back, did
you? No, I want you to show me,
Jack.
Another pause. Jack looks unsure.
SAWYER
Show him, Jack.
HURLEY
But Jacob said--
SAWYER
Shut up, Hugo! Jack, show that son
of a bitch where the cave is, or
I’ll kill you.
Jack glares at him, then looks at the bleeding Kate, who is
stirring. He sighs.
JACK
Fine. Let’s go.

15. 14.
He treks off. Sawyer, Hurley, The Man in Black and Ben, with
Kate, follow them. Richard, forgotten in the moment, lies
unconsious in the tent.
ACT 4, SCENE 2
Miles is standing outside, next to the fence where Alex is
buried, eyes shut. Desmond walks out of Ben’s house,
stuffing his backpack with supplies.
DESMOND
What are you doing, brother?
MILES (JERKED OUT OF CONCENTRATION)
Well, I was listening to someone,
but you interrupted.
Desmond nods in blunt acceptance and shoulders the backpack,
signaling for Miles to follow him. Miles does, and they
begin to leave the Barracks.
MILES
So, where are you taking me,
exactly? How do I know you don’t
work for Mr. Angry Smoke?
DESMOND
You’re just going to have to trust
me, brother. And as for where we’re
going, we’re going to find Jack.
MILES
Last I heard, he was going to talk
to the Man in Black and make a
treaty or something. Based on what
he did to that hot chick and the
old guy there, I don’t think
looking for him is the smartest
thing to be doing right now.
Desmond turns around, staring at Miles intently. Miles stops
and stares back.
DESMOND
You want bloody answers, Miles?
I’ll give you answers, then. I just
found out that there is another
reality out there, where Oceanic
815 didn’t crash. That complicates
things a bit, eh? Ever since then,
I’ve had a plan. And that plan is
to get everyone there together. If

(CONTINUED)

16. CONTINUED: 15.
DESMOND (cont’d)
I can do that, I might be able to
negate all of this.
MILES
What the hell are you talking
about, man?
DESMOND
(Gesturing around) All of this?
This can’t bloody exist, brother. I
have to get everyone in that other
reality to realize what the hell is
going on here, and if I can do
that, maybe I can finally stop all
of this from existing. I know it
doesn’t make any sense, but I know
it’s got to be that way, brother!
If I can stop this, maybe I can
stop the war.
MILES
War? We’re on an island with, like,
50 people, 30 guns and one smoke
monster, last I checked. There’s
not much war to go around.
DESMOND
Are you telling me you haven’t
sensed it too, brother? That you
haven’t felt a change?
Miles pauses, and thinks for a moment.
MILES
You know, an alternate reality
might have seemed insane to me at
one point, but not now. I can hear
dead people, man. And they’ve been
sounding a lot different on this
island than anywhere else.
More...loud, I guess. I hear them a
lot easier.
DESMOND
That’s because they’re restless.
This place won’t bloody let anyone
move on.
MILES
How would you know that? You don’t
seem like the Cole Sear type guy to
me.
(CONTINUED)

17. CONTINUED: 16.
DESMOND
I could feel them, Miles. In the
energy, when Whitmore shoved me in
a bloody generator, I could hear
them, shouting. Like a lost
connection between the worlds.
They’re not dead in the other
world, but they are here. That’s
just wrong, brother. I was a
priest, and I know a little bit
about the soul, or energy, or
whatever. Or, at least I think I
do. Theycan’t be alive and dead at
the same time. I think...I think
this island is the catalyst between
the worlds, of life and death.
MILES
What does that have to do with a
war?
DESMOND
I think...I think this island can
work both ways. If it’s giving them
death and life at the same time,
maybe it can switch the two. Maybe
it can bring them back, or at
least, a little of them. In the
light, the energy that connects the
worlds.
MILES (LAUGHING)
You mean, like zombies? We’re not
in a Romero film as far as I know.
DESMOND (SERIOUS)
Yes, Miles. That’s exactly what I
mean.
Desmond turns and walks into the jungle, in much the same
manner the Man in Black did after leaving Ben. Miles stands
for a moment, then follows.

FRANK
Whitmore? Haven’t seen him.

Stop lying. We know your group
forcibly escaped from our cages
with the Smoke Monster. Whitmore
went to the main island to track
you down and hasn’t come back. What
did you do to him?
FRANK
I sure as hell don’t know. The
submarine sank. I’m the only one
who made it, as far as I know.
He suddenly realizes what he is saying, and looks horrified.
FRANK
Damn...Sawyer, Jack...Their all
dead...
WILL
Who’s Jack? What do you mean, the
sub is sunk?
FRANK
Well, since I was on a beach,
coughing up a lake and torn up
after your Sub was stolen, I’d
think you’d have guessed that by
now.
WILL
That was our only way off this
island! What the hell happened?
FRANK
I don’t know. I just heard an
explosion and got a whole lot of
door in my face. And there’s always
the plane.
WILL
It’s a damn crashed plane! There’s
no way to get that thing in the
air! We already checked, and it
pretty much dead. We rigged some C4
just in case the Smoke tried to use
it to get off the island.
FRANK
Yeah, we found your C4. Well, at
least some of it. And as for the
plane, you’ll have to let a pilot
take a look at it before you make

’Cause if the Man in Black is gonna
do what I think he will, we’ll
wanna be off this rock as soon as
possible.
ACT 5, SCENE 2
Jack is walking through a forest of bamboo, followed by the
rest of the group. His face is determined but confused at
the same time.
SAWYER
(whispering)
I’m sorry, Jack. We have to show
him.
JACK
Don’t you understand, James? It
won’t matter. We’ll all probably
die anyway.
SAWYER
Yeah, well I’m not gonna take that
chance when I might be able to save
her.
JACK
(stopping and looking down)
You know, this is wear I woke up
after the crash. (laughs slightly)
We’ve come a long way, haven’t we?
SAWYER
No, we haven’t.
Jack glances at him and then continues on. Hurley is behind
next to the Man in Black.
HURLEY
Dude, why do you have to do this?
(CONTINUED)

20. CONTINUED: 19.
MAN IN BLACK
It’s been far too long, Hugo, and
it’s time that I took more
initiative. I promise you, if you
don’t try to stop me, I’ll let you
live.
HURLEY
No way, dude. You’ve made that
promise before.
MAN IN BLACK
(Laughs grimly)
Well, I’ll probably have to kill
you then.
HURLEY
Yeah, I guess you will.
KATE
(To Ben)
Please...why are you doing this?
Ben says nothing, but grabs her tighter and keeps going.
As the group reach the edge of the bamboo, Jack turns to the
Man in Black.
JACK
It’s beyond here. The rest of you
don’t have to follow us.
MAN IN BLACK
(smiling)
No, I want you all to see this.
He gestures for Ben to come forward with Kate, which forces
the rest to do the same. They come beyond the Bamboo grove
and their feet hit water. The Man in Black looks off from
the camera, his eyes glinting, and we turn to see the cave
of light.
MAN IN BLACK
Finally...finally...
He walks forward, and Jack shouts:
JACK
What are you doing?
MAN IN BLACK
Finishing what I started.
(CONTINUED)

21. CONTINUED: 20.
He reaches the cave, and turns around. As he watches the
terrified group, he grins and begins to melt away. Turning
darker and falling into the form of the smoke monster. He
flies down the hole and vanishes into its depths. After a
moment, the whole cave goes completely black, and suddenly
bursts out with black light and smoke. It pours out from
every crack, and the sound of magnetism (like that of the
hatch) is heard. As the smoke flies over the island, the sky
turns purple, but this time, it stays that way. As the event
occurs, Jack turns to Sawyer.
JACK
We’re all dead, Sawyer.
Sawyer does not reply. The camera focuses on Ben, who’s eyes
are bright and full of a sick wonder. Kate uses this
opportunity of distraction to shove Ben’s arm away. He
doesn’t react. She backs away from him, and looks up at the
sky.
HURLEY
What’ve we done, guys?
ACT 5, SCENE 3
Frank is lying in the bed, and Will is still talking to him.
WILL
What d’you mean? What’s he gonna
do, Frank?
FRANK
He killed almost everyone. All the
candidates. I sure as hell’m not
one. Since their dead, I don’t
think there’s anything stopping him
destroying this place. The only
thing we can do now is get the
plane off here, so he can’t.
MAN ON WILL’S WALKIE-TALKIE
William--William! We’ve got a
situation.
WILL

What is it now, Mitchell?
MITCHELL
The Ajira people-the dead ones.
They’re moving! What the hell is
going on?
(CONTINUED)

22. CONTINUED: 21.
FRANK
Their what?
WILL
(into walkie)
Keep back, Mitch! Don’t get near
’em. Whitmore told us this would
happen if they died. It’s too late
to stop him.
Will looks up at Frank.
WILL
So, about the plane..
ACT 5, SCENE 4
Camera flashes to Boone Hill, where the graves sit. A moment
of silence, then the smoke and black light dive downward
into the graves, making the dirt fly everywhere. The body of
Boone, practically a skeleton, is revealed in the shallow
grave. The grinding, violent smoke pulls him into the air,
enveloping him. The light trickles white for a feeble
moment, then goes back to black. Suddenly, it lets go, and
the body falls to the sand. After another moment of silence,
the figure, still rotting, slowly rises to its feet and
groans. It looks right at the camera, eye level, and it’s
eye sockets glow with black light.
