39 WINDOWS 39

are sucked into millions of fragments, a hailstorm ofglass...

40 GREAT CHUNK OF METAL 40

-- an engine block -- flies from the ball of flame...

41 ANNE 41

instinctively pulls her child to her...

42 GORDY 42

sees the engine block tumbling through the air toward hiswife and son.

His scream is lost in the thunderous ROAR all around.

43 GORDY'S POV - IN SLOW MOTION 43

The engine block is about to hit Anne and Matt, when...

A FedEx TRUCK, WINDOWS SHATTERED, SKIDS past, wiping outGordy's line of sight. When the truck clears...

Anne and Matt are gone. The corner's empty. Just Matt's

spaceship, slowly falling to the ground...

44 BACK TO SCENE 44

There's a horrible SCREECH. A TAXI SKIDS sideways toavoid the FedEx truck and hits Gordy. He's in the air,

tumbling, then smacks to the ground.

Gordy looks up, through the smoke and falling debris.

Then struggles to his hands and knees.

GORDY:

Anne!

He tries to stand, then falls down, screaming in pain, alarge shard of glass embedded in his leg.

People come to help him, but Gordy only cares aboutfinding Anne and Matt. He looks around desperately butcan't see them, when...

His eyes go to the spaceship, in pieces on the pavement.

Noooooo!!!

GORDY:

45 EXT. COLOMBIAN CONSULATE 45

The blast detonated here. Some men from the Navigatorsare dead. MIKE BRANDT is not. Rises from the

devastation, gun in hand, as SIRENS wail in the distance.

46 EXT. 68TH AND MADISON - LATER 46

Emergency personnel - EMS, NYPD, NYFD -- swarm the area.

Two white plastic sheets cover two bodies.

Across the street, PARAMEDICS work on Gordy's leg.

PARAMEDIC #1

We're gonna give you a shot.

Gordy's oblivious to the pain. Shoves him away.

GORDY:

I need to see them!

PARAMEDIC #1

We gotta help you right now.

PARAMEDIC #2

We've done all we can for 'em,

Gordy.

Phipps' eyes go to the white sheets up the street.

DRAY:

father's over there with a legwound.
