77.<br />
The full force of the RAIN comes down. It’s dark. The<br />
GLARE of a powerful TORCH reaches down into the WELL.<br />
Beth looks up into the LIGHT. It ILLUMINATES her on the<br />
ledge.<br />
The RUSTED METAL PIPE can be made out leaning against the<br />
ledge, down into the water below.<br />
EXT. SOLITARY CONFINEMENT (RAINING)<br />
The Camp Commandant stands over the Well. A guard lifts,<br />
arm over arm on a CLIMBING ROPE. Considering Beth’s<br />
weight, it doesn’t take much effort.<br />
The guard on duty has a PONCHO on. RAIN IMPACTS. The water<br />
seems dirty. His rifle is slung. He looks out towards the<br />
open sea.<br />
BOOM... BOOM... BOOM. The DECK GUN FIRES. The guard<br />
watches the FLASH as the emplacement lights up the sky<br />
with another drill.<br />
INT. BARRACK BLOCK (NIGHT)<br />
The Camp Commandant brings Beth into the building cradled<br />
in his arms. Puts her down and leaves without a word.<br />
Mabel kneels down next to Beth, looks her over, strokes<br />
her head. She is about to go back to her own bunk when<br />
Beth reaches out to her.<br />
BETH<br />
He’s in trouble isn’t he?<br />
Who?<br />
MABEL<br />
BETH<br />
The Commandant.<br />
MABEL<br />
I expect so. Yes. We are all<br />
in trouble.<br />
Beth lies in her bunk. HAIR fully covers her scalp. She<br />
shudders to yet another rapid SALVO of shots from the DECK<br />
GUN.
