starts to rise.

Burke, rising, exits through the open door back to Hibbs'
room.
217
INT. HIBBS' ROOM (NIGHT) FULL SHOT
Burke, coming in from hall, switches on the light. It is
now seen that he has Hibbs in a hypnotic trance, lying
covered by a blanket on a couch in a corner. Burke goes
over, looks at Hibbs a moment, then straightens out the bed
that he had himself occupied, takes off his pajama jacket
and put on his coat. Then he steps over, speaks to Hibbs.
Hibbs rises and goes over to the bed and sits on it, just
as he was sitting before the last fade out. Burke sits
down beside him.
218
INT. HIBBS' ROOM (NIGHT) CLOSE SHOT
Burke and Hibbs are on the bed as Burke looks at him with
piercing eyes. Hibbs is staring straight ahead of him. Now
Burke speaks to him sharply. Hibbs starts, and a
transformation takes place. He comes out of the hypnotic
trance, realizes his surroundings, looks at Burke and says:
TITLE:
"I must have fallen asleep."
BACK TO SCENE:
Burke nods "yes" and then gets over to himthat he'd better be getting to bed. Saying this Burke rises.
219
INT. HIBBS' ROOM (NIGHT) SEMI FULL SHOT
Burke, rising, says good night and goes out the door. Hibbs,
still a little dazed, rubs his eyes, gets up and goes over
to a dresser.

CU wristwatch Time: 2:30
BACK TO SCENE:
Hibbs is puzzled. He must have slept hours.That's queer. He stands thinking a moment, then dismisses
the problem with a shrug and reaches into a drawer of the
dresser and gets out a photograph. He looks at it.
INSERT:
Photograph of Lucy.
BACK TO SCENE:

puts the picture back into the drawer and starts out.

223
INT. UPPER HALL (NIGHT) CLOSE SHOT
At Lucy's door, as Hibbs comes in. The sword has gone from
its place over the keyhole where Hibbs himself placed it.
This he notices now with a start of alarm. He looks down to
see if it has fallen. No sword. In genuine anxiety now, he
knocks on the door and calls:
TITLE:
"Lucy!"
BACK TO SCENE:
He waits. No answer. He knocks harder. Hecalls again, more loudly. Frantic, he tries the door,
banging it, calling to her in a loud voice. He throws his
shoulder against the door. It gives a little.

229

large, spectral eyes, a bullet wound in his temple, the
