62. Medic-Eric

• FADE IN


• EXT. WAR ZONE-DAY


• Claude, a medic runs through woods, carrying a swaddled, oriental baby. Tufts of dirt fly around him as bullets fly and bombs explode. People scream. His helmet flies off as he leaps down a hill.


• Gun fire is all around him. He swivels to his left, then his right. The baby begins crying. He runs to his right.


• CLAUDE VO
• I'm not sure who nominated me for this.


• The sputter of gun fire becomes louder. The baby cries louder as he runs.


• CLAUDE VO
• Who would have abandoned this poor baby at a time like this?


• Claude comes to a fork on a trail. He turns to the right and sees a hut. He turns to the left and sees a long road. The baby begins crying again. He runs in that direction, panting heavily.


• CLAUDE VO
• I can't go on much longer.


• Claude continues running but collapses, but manages to hold the baby. A jeep hims around a corner, sputtering gun fire. Billows of dirt fly all around the medic. The jeep gets closer, and the medic closes his eyes.


• The jeep speeds up and is almost on top of him when the baby starts glowing. It sprouts wings and becomes so bright it blinds everyone. It carries him in the air, slowly floating closer to the sky.
