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.
