SCENE 3
INT. NATHAN’S BASEMENT- CORNER ROOM: ADAM, REBECCA, and DEREK are in ROOM talking.
DEREK
So…what’s the plan?
ADAM
I don’t know but it has to be done
REBECCA
I can’t believe you guys are actually going to kill Nathan
DEREK
It has to be done. If we stay here much longer there is a chance we are going to die because of him
ADAM
Derek is right. Follow my lead
ADAM opens the DOOR and walks near NATHAN with DEREK and REBECCA not far behind.
NATHAN
What are you doing? I told you guys to stay in the room!
NATHAN stands up and makes a gesture that he is going to pull out his gun
ADAM
Calm down. We aren’t going to kill you. We just want to figure out our next move.
NATHAN
I have everything figured out. I know what we are going to do.
DEREK
What? Just sit down here and wait the whole thing out?
NATHAN
Exactly…those creatures won’t be able to get down here. Eventually they’ll go somewhere else and-
Cut off by DEREK
DEREK
What! They know we are down here! They won’t leave!
NATHAN glares at DEREK
ADAM
Yea, we should go there and face those things head on.
NATHAN
No! It’s safe down here. No one is leaving without my consent. Understand?
ADAM, DEREK, and REBECCA look at each other trying to figure out they should do. DEREK motions at ADAM to pick up the RIFLE beside the COUCH next to him. REBECCA shakes her head no. ADAM picks up the RIFLE and aims it at NATHAN
NATHAN
What are you doing? (Calm voice)
DEREK
We’re doing what needs to be done
NATHAN
You’re going to kill me?
ADAM
No. We’re going to kill those creatures that are waiting to kill us up stairs
DEREK
And you’re not going to move, or else Adam pulls the trigger
REBECCA looks on in terror
NATHAN
No he won’t. Would you…Adam?
ADAM
If you leave me no choice
NATHAN
No you won’t
NATHAN motions to pull out his gun while turning towards DEREK giving a sinister smile.
NATHAN
And you won’t open that door
DEREK
Oh really?
NATHAN
If you do as much as motion to turn that knob…I’ll kill you
DEREK slowly walks up the STAIRS to the DOOR. NATHAN walks to the end of the STAIRS, and stops after ADAM cocks the gun. DEREK begins to turn the LOCK. NATHAN pulls out his GUN.
NATHAN
Don’t…don’t open that door!
DEREK looks back at NATHAN, then looks over to ADAM
DEREK
Adam!
ADAM
Nathan, don’t do it!
DEREK tests how far NATHAN is willing to go by unlocking the door.
NATHAN
Don’t!
REBECCA runs behind ADAM looking on.
REBECCA
Derek, please just stop!
ADAM
Nathan put the gun down!
DEREK looks at ADAM, then REBECCA
DEREK
I’m not going to stay here any longer. I won’t.
DEREK begins to turn the KNOB, and then is interrupted by a sudden pain. REBECCA drops to her knees, and ADAM drops his GUN looking on in horror. NATHAN is seen with his GUN aimed high where DEREK was standing. DEREK looks down and feels his chest where the pain struck. There is BLOOD on his fingers. He looks back down at NATHAN, and NATHAN looks at him. DEREK falls down the STAIRS…dead.
ADAM
My god…you actually did it. You killed him! You killed Derek!
ADAM pins NATHAN against the WALL
ADAM
Why did you do it!?
NATHAN
I told him not to open the door
ADAM
No! You didn’t have to do that!
NATHAN tears ADAM’S grip and throws him to the ground. REBECCA is seen crying in the corner.
NATHAN
Yes I did…it had to be done. Now get back in that room.
