Twilight Page #16

Everyone but Rosalie springs into action, opening cupboards for

supplies - cell phones, extra batteries, maps, portable GPS units,

changes of clothes, cans of gasoline, etc. As they load up the

vehicles

-

JASPER:

I've had to fight our kind before.

We're hard to kill.

EDWARD:

But not impossible. We'll tear him up

EMMETT:

(with bloodlust)

We'll rip him apart with our hands,

then burn the pieces

-

DR. CULLEN

I don't relish killing another creature.

Even a sadistic one like James.

ROSALIE:

If he doesn't get to one of us

first.

BELLA:

(horrified)

This is insane. You can't put yourselves

in danger like this - for me.

ROSALIE:

Too late.

Edward shoots Rosalie a look, but he grabs two sets of keys

off a hook, throwing one set, lightning fast, to Dr. Cullen

-

EDWARD:

I'll run Bella south, while you lead

the tracker away

-

84.

DR. CULLEN

No, Edward -- the tracker thinks

you won't leave Bella. He'll

follow you.

ALICE:

I'll go with Bella. Jasper and

I:

will drive her south.

(facing him)

I'll keep her safe, Edward.

Edward agonizes. Frustrated. Alice steps forward.

EDWARD:

(studies her, torn)

Can you keep your thoughts to yourself?

She nods. An unspoken agreement. Edward finally surrenders

his keys to Alice. Then he opens one of Bella's suitcases,

pulling out clothes, tossing them to

-

EDWARD:

Esme, Rosalie, put these on so the

tracker will pick up Bella's scent.

ROSALIE:

(dropping the clothes)

Why should I? What is she to me? Just

a danger you've inflicted on us

-

DR. CULLEN

(spinning on her)

Rosalie. Bella is with Edward. She's

a part of this family now. And we

protect our family.

She glowers, but picks up the clothes. Dr. Cullen hits the door

opener and the massive METAL DOORS roll open. Dr. Cullen

squeezes Edward's shoulder before he and Esme climb into the

SUV. Everyone finishes loading up, climbing in cars

-

Amid this, Edward and Bella take a moment together.

BELLA:

If any of you get hurt because of me

-

EDWARD:

We won't, there are five of us, two of

them. When it's done, I'll come get you.

He pulls her closer, looking into her eyes.

EDWARD:

You're my life now.

85.

They drink each other in, possibly for the last time... as the SUV

PEELS out, WIPING THE FRAME

-

107 EXT. HIGHWAY, PACIFIC NORTHWEST - DAWN 107

The sun begins to rise on the empty road as a sleek, black

MERCEDES SEDAN with dark tinted windows BLASTS through frame

-

108 INT. MERCEDES - SAME 108

Jasper drives, Alice in the passenger seat. Bella is in the

back, her eyes red from crying. She talks on her cell phone

-

BELLA:

Mom, it's me again. You must have

let your phone die. Anyway, I'm

not in Forks anymore but I'm okay.

I'll explain when you call.

She hangs up, then faces back out the window, watching the green,

misty Olympic Peninsula speed past. Off Bella's face -

A SERIES OF DISSOLVES THROUGHOUT THE DAY, THEN THE NIGHT

-- show us the landscape as it changes from dark green

forests to stretches of grassy hillsides, to drier, browner

surroundings, until night falls and headlights lights flash

by us. Finally, we land in..

.

109 OMITTED 109

110 EXT. FOREST, OLYMPIC PENINSULA - DAY 110

TREES BLOW PAST US at a blinding speed as we track Edward,

Rosalie, and Emmett who dart in and out of frame, blasting through

the misty woods, Edward, the fastest, in the lead.

Edward stops, trying to read his enemy's thoughts. Rosalie

tears a tiny swatch of her shirt, leaves it on a FLOWERING

MAPLE TREE. And then they're gone.

111 OMITTED 111

112 EXT. ANOTHER PART OF THE WOODS - DAY 112

Esme and Dr. Cullen crouch atop a hill, looking down at the

river. In the distance, below, they SEE

-

THEIR POV - ON THE LAKE - VICTORIA jogs into view. She then looks

in their direction. Once Dr. Cullen and Esme are assured she has

their scent, they continue over the hill's crest.

113 OMITTED 113

114 EXT. FOREST, OLYMPIC PENINSULA - DAY 114

86.

James blasts past the FLOWERING MAPLE -- then stops, backtracks to

the tree, finds the tiny swatch of fabric. He starts off again..

.

but stops, smells the fabric. Something's not right. He runs

back in the opposite direction... Uh oh..

.

SMASH TO:

115 INT. SCOTTSDALE HOTEL - BEDROOM - LATE AFTERNOON 115

ON BELLA'S FACE:
her eyes pop open. She's lying atop a bed,

fully clothed. She rises, reorienting.

116 INT. SCOTTSDALE HOTEL - LIVING ROOM - LATE AFTERNOON 116

The blinds are pulled. Alice and Jasper stare blankly at

a

T.V. set. Several plates of food crowd a table. Alice looks

up as Bella enters, looking at her cell phone.

BELLA:

I wish he'd call.

ALICE:

You should eat.

But Bella ignores the food. She sits heavily.

BELLA:

They could get hurt. It's not

worth it.

JASPER:

(insistent)

Yes. It is.

She's taken aback. It's the first time he's engaged with her.

JASPER:

Edward's changed since he found

you. And none of us want to look

into his eyes for the next hundred

years if he loses you.

(he looks forward again)

It's worth it.

Suddenly, Alice REELS. Jasper goes to her, Bella follows.

JASPER:

What do you see?

ALICE:

(with deep worry)

The tracker. He just changed course..

.

Jasper quickly sets a pad of paper and pencil in front of her.

87.

JASPER:

Where will it take him, Alice?

PUSH IN ON ALICE'S FACE as we-

FLASH POP TO - JAMES

A disorienting vision of him standing in a room full of..

.

ALICE:

Mirrors. It's a room of mirrors.

Alice begins to draw at HYPER SPEED, closing her eyes, trying

to see it clearly.

BELLA:

How do the visions work? Edward

said they weren't always certain.

JASPER:

She sees the course people are on,

while they're on it. If they change

their minds, the visions change.

Bella looks over Alice's shoulder to see the drawing.

BELLA:

So the course James is on now will

lead him to... a ballet studio?

ALICE:

(looks up at her)

You've been here?

BELLA:

No. I don't know. I used to take

ballet lessons as a kid. The

school had an arch like that.

JASPER:

Was your school here in Phoenix?

BELLA:

Yeah, around the corner from my house.

But I haven't been there in ten years.

JASPER:

Do you have any reason to go now?

BELLA:

No. Hell, no. I hated the place.

Alice and Jasper share a look, trying to figure this out.

Suddenly, Bella JUMPS as her cell phone RINGS. She picks it

up. Sees the caller I.D. and exhales relief. She answers..

.

88.

BELLA:

Edward. Are you alright?

INTERCUT WITH:

117 INT. JEEP/EXT. WASHINGTON ROAD - DAY 117

Dr. Cullen drives the Jeep, fast, Emmett in the back, Edward in

the passenger seat on his cell phone.

EDWARD:

I'm coming to get you.

(hates having to say

this)

We lost the tracker. The woman is

still in the area. Rosalie and

Esme are protecting your father.

BELLA:

(sinking)

This is my fault. You warned me,

but I didn't think. I just..

.

EDWARD:

Bella, we're in too deep. We can't

change how we feel..
