Panic Room Page #14
He looks up at Raoul, hulking overhead, gun in hand.
BURNHAM:
Or I can't stop what he's gonna do.
Do you understand?
Harris, regaining some semblance of consciousness, nods
feebly.
BURNHAM:
Good.
Burnham stands up, turns to the video camera, and SHOUTS.
BURNHAM:
Sarah and Meg see the horrifying sight on the video monitors.
Burnham SHOUTS at the door to the room.
BURNHAM:
OPEN UP!
ON THE MONITORS,
they see Burnham, standing over Harris; they faintly hear him
call to them to open the door.
And then they hear another VOICE, calling back to them.
Sarah sits up, recognizes her father's voice.
SARAH (O.S.)
DADDY!
Harris is SHOUTING against the closed door.
HARRIS:
DON'T O --
He's silenced by a vicious kick to the ribs. Raoul begins to
beat him.
Burnham stands by, powerless, horrifies, watching as Raoul
savages Harris, who continues to call out, as long as he has
strength, telling Meg not to open the door, no matter what.
Meg and Sarah SHOUT in horror, she covers her daughter's
face, turn her away from the screen, SCREAMS in incoherent
anger of her own.
But she doesn't open the door.
Burnham SHOUTS at Raoul, pleading.
BURNHAM:
STOP IT, MAN, STOP IT, THAT'S HIS
KID IN THERE, HIS KID IS WATCHING
THIS!!
But Raoul whips the gun up, into Burnham's throat, backing
him off, shutting him up.
He resumes his pounding of Harris.
Burnham turns, looks up at the camera in the corner of the
room.
He can't stand it anymore. He whips off his jacket, runs to
the camera, and covers the lens.
While Meg watches, the monitor that cover the master bedroom
abruptly goes black, mercifully sparing them the sight of
Harris's beating.
She holds Sarah, who's sobbing, shaking.
Harris finally lapses into unconsciousness. Raoul stands
over him, chest heaving.
Burnham stand in the doorway, neither in nor out of the room,
a silhouette, head hung.
Meg tries desperately to see something on the bedroom
monitor, but it's hopeless, it's covered. On the hallway
monitor, she can just see shadows, as two men in the bedroom
lift a third off the floor and carry him across the room.
A sudden BEEPING sound tears her attention away. Still
holding Sarah, she pulls her back, off her shoulder. Her
face is completely white, her lips blue, her eyes rolled back
into her head. The BEEPING sound grows louder, she checks
Sarah's wristwatch, the reading is dire:
57
Meg GASPS, horrifies.
MEG:
Oh God, oh my God...
Sarah begins to convulse, she bucks right out of Meg's arms
and falls back onto the floor of the panic room. Meg clears
everything away from her, tries to make room for her.
The convulsion worsens. Meg searches through the piles of
supplies, comes up with a plastic-handled screwdriver. She
opens Sarah's jaws, wedges the plastic handle between her
teeth.
She helps Sarah ride out the convulsion. Finally, her eyes
roll back into her head, she slowly re-orients herself.
Sarah reaches over, turns off her still-BEEPING
wristwatch/monitor herself.
Sarah sighs, a shuddering sigh of relief, but she is nowhere
near normal.
Her skin has passed through white and is turning a sallow
yellow color. She moves her lips, Meg can't hear her, she
bends down:
SARAH:
You gotta jab me, Mommy...
Meg turns, looks back at the monitors. What she sees is good
news --
ON THE MONITORS,
the jacket has been removed from the bedroom camera. Burnham
and Raoul are gone, the only person there is HARRIS, who lies
slumped on the far side of the bed.
Meg looks quickly over at the monitor for the living room.
ON THAT MONITOR,
she sees Burnham and Raoul having an urgent conversation,
Burnham sitting in a chair, Raoul pacing in front of him,
ranting.
Meg's face lights up, she practically laughs, she's so
overjoyed at this turn of events.
She turns, looks back at Sarah, who is starting to tremble
again.
That does it. Meg leaps up, hits the button that controls
the steel door, and it starts to crank open, almost
impossibly slowly.
Meg steps out of the panic room, into the master bedroom.
She looks at Harris, on the bed. With his back to her she
can't even tell if he's alive or dead, but first things must
be first, so she turns and races out of the room.
INT. HALLWAY - NIGHT
Meg flies up the stairs, bare feet on padded carpet.
In the living room, Raoul looks up, hearing the pitter-pat of
her feet on the stairs above.
He smiles and pulls his ski mask back on, to cover his face.
Coming around behind him, we see Burnham sitting in the
chair. Except it isn't Burnham at all, it's Harris,
unconscious, wearing Burnham's shirt.
And if Harris is the person in the chair, that means --
-- the person on the bed in the bedroom is Burnham, wearing
Harris's shirt. His eyes pop open, he sits up, sees the wide
open door to the panic room.
INT. SARAH'S BEDROOM - NIGHT
Meg races into Sarah's bedroom and tears open the door of a
mini-fridge. Inside are dozens of little bottles of insulin
and something called Glucogen.
She grabs a bottle of Glucogen and a black leather pouch and
takes off.
INT. HALLWAY - NIGHT
As Meg nears the bottom of the stairs, she sees a horrifying
sight. It's Raoul, ski mask over his face, standing in the
doorway of the master bedroom.
She SCREAMS, he SLAMS the door, she takes off down the hall,
reaches the end, throws the door open --
-- and races into the master bedroom, where Raoul is
motoring, fast, headed for the panic room, where she can
already see Burnham, standing in the middle of the open
doorway, in front of Sarah, wearing Harris's shirt and a grim
"tricked you" expression.
Meg hurls herself at Raoul, lands clinging to his back. She
claws and wrestles with him, gets one hand on his ski mask,
tears it from his head. He reaches up to try to stop her
from pulling it off --
-- his gun slips from his fingers, falls to the floor --
-- and caroms off his boot, spinning across the floor away
from them.
Raoul flips her off his back violently, she CRUNCHES to the
floor, clutching his mask and getting a good long look at his
face. He makes a move toward his gun, but she's faster,
she's already pawing herself frantically across the hardwood
toward it.
Raoul measures the distance, knows he'll lose, and sprints
for the panic room instead. Meg turns, looks down at the
medicine in her hands, then at the door to the panic room,
where Raoul is right now reaching up to push the button that
controls the steel door.
She makes a fast decision and lunges, hurling the plastic
bottle of Glucogen and the black leather pouch through the
gap just before --
