276X1INT. - CAVE - CLOSE ON FRANCIS

Picking his way through the ruined cave, puzzled.

277-287X1

OUT:

288EXT . - FOREST AREA

As Logan and Jessica reach it.

They are startled by the SOUND of BIRDS SINGING for a moment...then

continue through some high grass and thorned bushes being scratched,

etcetera.

A swarm of insects attack...Logan and Jessica fight them off:

JESSICA (starting to panic)

I hate outside! I hate it!

LOGAN (holding her;

comforting tone)

We'll be all right...

(a beat)

We will...

The sun is starting to go down...as they see a rabbit dart away in

the grass...startling them for a moment.

288XA1FRANCIS

Coming out through the fissure in the rock, squinting at the

unexpected light from the sky, then setting out as Logan and Jessica

did.

288XB1WITH LOGAN AND JESSICA - A BUSHY AREA

They come upon bushes of berries. Logan picks a few, looks at them

and smells them. As he is about to put them in his mouth...Jesslca

grabs hold of his hand.

JESSICA:

Don't!

LOGAN:

Sooner or later, we'll have to try

something

Logan eats the berries...as Jessica watches intently.

After a beat

LOGAN:

They're good.

Logan and Jessica pick berries and eat. When they are finished:

JESSICA:

It's getting dark and cold.

I'm tired.

LOGAN:

Why don't we rest here? We know we can

eat these.

They sit on the ground.

LAP DISSOLVE TO:

288X1TWO SHOT - LOGAN AND JESSICA - NIGHT

Sitting on the ground.

Jessica is shivering. Logan has his arms around her trying to keep

her warm.

JESSICA:

Where do you think that heat-ball went?

Logan shrugs.

JESSICA:

Do you think everything's going to

turn to ice?

LOGAN:

I doubt it.

JESSICA:

Don't ever let go.

LOGAN:

I won't.

After a long beat:

LOGAN:

It all seemed to make sense until

Box.

JESSICA:

Do you think he was telling the

Truth?

Logan shrugs.

JESSICA (trying to

convince herself)

Maybe we're the first ones to get

through...

(hopeful tone)

Maybe Sanctuary is near, now...

another protected place. It couldn't

be outside.

LOGAN (grunts)

How would anyone know? Even if we find

it -- we can never go back.

At her stricken look...Logan touches her in a caring way.

LOGAN:

You're right...it must be near

now. We'll find it.

JESSICA (yawning;

closing her eyes; resting

on his shoulder)

Thirty thousand years didn't last

very long, did they?

288X2EXT. - BARREN TERRAIN - NIGHT - FRANCIS

Looking frightened as he looks up at the moon and the stars his gun

drawn.

Suddenly, a rabbit darts by.

Francis jumps up in great fear and starts FIRING his gun...blasting

the rabbit to smithereens.

He is breathing hard (fear)...and looking around...gun in hand.

288X3EXT. - FOREST AREA - DAY - LOGAN AND JESSICA

walking in the hot sun...grimy...thirsty.

288X4EXT. - FOREST AREA - FRANCIS

His face still betrays a wild, frightened look as he moves very

cautiously.

He reaches the bushes of berries and sees some of them on the

ground.

He picks a few off the bush...is ravenous...but finally...too

frightened that they might be some kind of poison to eat any.

As he angrily crushes the berries in his hand... then wipes his hand

on his trousers:

288X5EXT. - FOREST AREA - LOGAN AND JESSICA

Seeing shimmering in the distance. They walk toward it.

288X6-

288X8TRACKING SHOTS WITH LOGAN AND JESSICA

Reaching...

289FULL ANGLE - A BROOK

They rush to it...drink...then undress...swim...and as they embrace

in the water:

JESSICA:

Logan!!!Look!!

(Logan turns around)

No...your palm...look!!!

Logan looks at his palm...the blinking crystal is clear.

He grabs Jessica's hand and looks at her palm... the same.

JESSICA (quietly)

What does it mean?

LOGAN (trying to

assimilate its meaning

himself)

The Lifeclocks have no power outside.

Jessica takes Logan's palm and kisses it.

JESSICA (with laughter)

You can have any woman in the city.

What do you really want?

LOGAN (straight)

You know, Jessica.

JESSICA. (a beat)

...But I still have the choice...?

LOGAN:

Of course.

JESSICA:

Then the answer's Yes...

They embrace there in the water...
