The Italian Job Page #5

Steve climbs out of the Humvee, gun still on Handsome Rob,

the AK-47s aimed at the others.

STEVE (CONT'D)

You bet on the wrong horse.

JOHN BRIDGER:

We'll hunt you down. You're gonna regret

this. .

EXT. HUMVEE

Safely outside, Steve turns his gun on Bridger.

STEVE:

No regrets, Dixie cup.

BOOM. He shoots Bridger in the head. Just like that.

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:

The Italians follow suit, AK-47s SCREAMING out bursts of full

automatic fire at the crew.

INT. HUMVEE

They duck for cover as the vehicle is riddled with gunfire.

Glass shatters. Bullets ricochet. They're in the epicenter

of hell.

Handsome Rob jerks the steering wheel and stomps the gas.

Driving blind.

EXT. MOUNTAINOUS ROAD

The Humvee hits the side of the Jeep, grinds alongside it,

metal tearing against metal.

The Humvee's right side tires precariously hover by the cliff

and the raging water below.

The gunners keep FIRING. Bullets rip into the Humvee's

tires.

EXT. HUMVEE

It almost escapes, but it can't make it on shredded rubber.

It careens off the road and —

SERIES OF SHOTS:

The Humvee plummets through the air and plunges into the

raging river.

INT. HUMVEE

Water cascades in through the open windows. They're thrown

around as the Humvee rides the rapids. WHAM. The passenger

door caves in as the Humvee rams into a large rock then is

swept further downstream. Through the foam and spray,

Charlie looks over to Bridger. He's dead. The torrent

ROARS.

Only their chests and heads are above water. And that's not

all. There's a WATERFALL AHEAD.

EXT. WATERFALL

The Humvee is palmed in its deadly embrace and hurled over.

It cartwheels into the pool below, sending up a huge geyser

of water.

It sinks out of sight.

EXT. MOUNTAINOUS ROAD -SAME TIME

The crates of gold are now inside the Italians' Jeep. Steve

climbs in, leaving the crew for dead.

UNDERWATER -SAME TIME

The Humvee strikes the surface bottom with an ominous thud.

EXT. MOUNTAINOUS ROAD -DAWN

The Jeep jerks to a stop. A door opens and the bodies of the

two Italians, shot dead, are dumped out into the mud.

Steve ±s alone now. Just him and the millions in gold.

INT. HUMVEE -SAME TIME

The water entombs them. Blood from Bridger's fatal gunshot

mists the water red.

They manage to get the door open. They start to swim out but

Charlie won't go without Bridger. He grabs his friend's body

and pulls it up with him.

EXT. RIVER -SUNRISE

They drag themselves ashore, Handsome Rob helping Charlie

pull Bridger's corpse. Charlie is shocked, tormented,

grieved, and angry beyond description. Against the rocky

embankment, he holds Bridger. Not wanting to ever let go.
