41. Toppling end over end until it comes crashing to a halt at the bottom, ON ITS SIDE, WEDGED AGAINST A TREE. And then - it's over. The wheel's spin on the wreckage of the mini-van at the bottom of the hill. UP ON THE ROAD , the Second Car, a BMW SEDAN, is wrapped around a tree, steam rising from the radiator. The windshield is shattered. Someone went through it. The driver, Gil, a young male in his early 20s, has had his throat pierced by a low, sturdy tree branch. He is pinned to the seat and quietly choking to death on his own blood. INT. MINI-VAN - DAY The mini-van is on its side with the driver's side down. Jim comes to, looking up at Tabitha, suspended above him, unconscious in the passenger seat, her head is bleeding, her body limp against the seatbelt. A wave of panic hits. JIM No. Nononono -- Jim grabs Tabitha's limp hand and holds it as he tries to turn and get a visual on the kids, but his range of motion is limited, the steering wheel pressed against his side. JIM (CONT'D) (panicked) Everybody okay? Kids? Kids, you okay back there? He can see Julie over his right shoulder. Her eyes wide in shock, her seatbelt holding her suspended in the seat. JIM (CONT'D)
Julie? Julie, look at me. Sweetie, please, I need you to look at me.
She turns to look at him.
JIM (CONT'D)
Are you okay?
JULIE
I - I think so. JIM Ethan? Ethan buddy, can you hear me? Ethan? ETHAN (weak) I'm stuck.
