He spots a figure up ahead, where the road crosses a muddy

creek.

MITCHELL:

He's over there.

9EXT. HAUL ROAD

Turning sharply, the trappers' jeep splashes through the

creek bed without slowing. Bouncing, it comes down hard

against the axle-deep bank at the creek's high water mark.

LeMalle tries to back out, but can't find traction in the

mud.

Eric stops the Scout thirty yards behind them.

10 INT. SCOUT

Eric opens his door. To Anne Marie:

ERIC:

Stay here.

ANNE MARIE:

Be careful -- there're two of

them.

Eric reaches in the back seat and hands something to Anne

Marie.

ERIC:

If I unzip my parka, stick this

out the window.

11 EXT. HAUL ROAD

Eric confidently approaches the jeep.

(CONTINUED)

11 CONTINUED:

Then, a third trapper climbs from the creek. He's got a

line of traps slung around his neck and a world of

experience on his face. He's BEN CORBETT, a life-long

huntsman, somewhere past forty, weathered beyond his years.

He has a feral nose, thick beard and dark, smart, hunter's

eyes. He wears a hooded cotton sweat shirt, cotton

coveralls and vapor-barrier mountain boots. On his belt is

a holster rig cradling a .44 magnum revolver.

Eric slows down. He didn't expect to face anyone as

formidable as Corbett.

12 INT. / EXT. JEEP

Emboldened by Corbett's presence, LeMalle reaches into the

back seat and grabs his 6.5 by 55 Swedish military carbine.

CORBETT:

(to LeMalle)

No shooting. Let's see who's so

interested in us.

Corbett has an incongruously affable voice. He throws his

traps into the jeep, then strides closer toward Eric.

MITCHELL:

(to Corbett)

Ain't worth it, Ben...

13 EXT. HAUL ROAD - CREEK CROSSING - LONG SHOT

As Corbett comes closer, Eric realizes this might not've

been a great idea. Corbett squints his eyes and sniffs the

air, as if by this he can gauge his opponent's mettle.

ERIC:

You got two counts against you --

trapping out of season and

poaching on restricted land.

CORBETT:

Can't be much of a crime, if all

they got minding the area is a

cocky kid.

ERIC:

I got your plate number, a**hole.

Maybe you feel like spending a

few months in jail.

Corbett just smiles.

(CONTINUED)

13 CONTINUED:

But LeMalle, rankled, sticks the carbine out the jeep

window.

Seeing the rifle pointed at him, Eric freezes, then slowly

unzips his parka.

LEMALLE:

Ben? Sure you don't want me to

drop the f***er?

Corbett doesn't answer. Then, his eyes narrow and he looks

past Eric at the Scout.

CORBETT'S POV

The passenger in the Scout sticks what looks like another

rifle out the window.

BACK TO SCENE:

Eric quickly glances over his shoulder to make sure Anne

Marie's backing him up.
