Charlie and Tom exchange a quick look of relief... and then
the engine dies. Charlie tries to restart it, but there's
nothing.
OUTSIDE THE TRUCK
It's stopped on a downgrade -- it's a dip in the road.
The water is up to the top of the front tires: up to the
hubcaps on the rear wheels. The headlights are underwater,
spots of yellow glowing. They've stopped next to a lighted
sign.
CLOSE ON SIGN:
WELCOME TO HUNTINGBURG.
HOME OF THE 1987 STATE CHAMPION WARRIORS.
IN THE TRUCK:
CHARLIE:
Goddammit!
TOM:
It's a little dip in the road or
something. You can see the reflectors
come up the other side.
CHARLIE:
(curses to himself)
I knew this would happen.
(grabs radio mike)
TOM:
I'll see if there's anyone coming.
Maybe we can get pulled out.
Tom opens the door. Charlie adjusts the radio frequency
selection button; clicks on.
CHARLIE:
Dispatch, this is 31. 31 calling
dispatch.
DISPATCHER (V.O.)
(over radio)
31, this is dispatch.
CHARLIE:
(into radio)
Dispatch, we're stuck outside of
Huntingburg. Truck's dead.
DISPATCHER (V.O.)
Where are you?
CHARLIE:
We're on 231, headed for the
Interstate. Right by a sign saying
"Welcome to Huntingburg."
Tom climbs out and up on top of the truck.
OUTSIDE THE TRUCK
Tom stands on top of the truck. In one direction, nothing
but blackness. The other way he can see the lights of the
town. But there are no cars coming.
IN THE TRUCK:
Charlie looks over as Tom appears, upside-down, in the
doorway.
TOM:
The town's been evacuated. We won't
get any help from there.
CHARLIE:
Dispatch can't get anyone out.
TOM:
They are aware we're carrying a
shitload of money...?
CHARLIE:
They called the National Guard.
They're gonna be here in about ninety
minutes.
TOM:
Ninety minutes? Jesus.
CHARLIE:
(nods; into radio)
Dispatch, we're gonna need help a
little sooner than --
There's a sudden sparking sound and the radio cuts out and
interior lights and the headlights go out.
TOM:
Oh, sh*t.
INT. HOUSE - DUSK POV THROUGH WINDOW
Looking out as the Sheriff's car rolls past on the water-
covered street. A HAND lets go of a curtain and it swings
across the window.
EXT. STREET - DUSK IN THE SHERIFF'S CAR
The Sheriff motions Wayne to stop the car, then he grabs the
radio mike and clicks it on as a megaphone.
SHERIFF:
(into mike)
Henry, I saw you. Come on out.
No one comes out of the house.
SHERIFF:
Henry, I'm not leaving until you
come out.
A few moments pass and then...
Late 70s, step out onto their porch.
DOREEN:
Jesus H. Christ, Henry, I told you
to stay away from the damn window.
THE SHERIFF:
Gets out of the car.
SHERIFF:
What are you still doing here?
HENRY:
We're just --
