REED
(on phone)
It’s here! INT. KTR MEDICO WAREHOUSE, UPPER LEVEL, WALKWAY - NIGHT 1 - 00.10 13 13 LUTHER (on phone, looking into Madsen’s eye) She alive? INT. MADSEN HOUSE, LIVING ROOM - NIGHT 1 - 00.10 14 14 OFFICERS rush to open the coffin. Inside is MIA DALTON Dead? REED I can’t tell. Teller hauls Mia from the coffin, lays her out. Listens to her chest. Shit. Turns the girl’s head, clears the vomit from her airway. Tilts back her head. Pinches her nose. Covers Mia’s mouth with hers, gently forces air into her lungs. Mia’s chest rises. INT. KTR MEDICO WAREHOUSE, UPPER LEVEL, WALKWAY - NIGHT 1 - 00.11 15 15 MADSEN I can’t - I can’t - oh God - please! Luther looks down on him. Frowns. Grabs the handrail. Edges forward. The walkway groans beneath him. The weird shriek and pop of support wires giving way. Luther GRABS THE FRONT OF MADSEN’S SHIRT. Holds him in place. Madsen screams in terror - INT. MADSEN HOUSE, LIVING ROOM - NIGHT 1 - 00.11 16 16 Teller administers CPR. Reed keeps the phone to his ear. He can hear DISTANT SCREAMING. MADSEN (V.O.) PLEASE! NO! A moment of discomfort. Then Reed LOWERS THE PHONE. And we - INTERCUT TWO LIVES IN THE BALANCE - Mia and Madsen. Until Mia takes in a MASSIVE WHOOP OF AIR - SITS UP - LOOKS
AROUND - WIDE EYED AND TERROR-STRICKEN. Teller cries out - embraces the child.
