EXT. FOREST - DAY 68
MINJI stands amid the trees, waiting. Then the SOUNDS OF THE
FOREST abruptly drop out. A predator is near. BORA
appears behind her. She doesn't turn around. A beat.
50.
MINJI
You're impossibly fast. And strong.
Your skin is pale-white, ice-cold.
Your eyes change color. And
sometimes you speak like... you're
from a different time.
(turns to face her now)
You never eat food, or drink, or
come out in the sunlight. And you
said no to the beach trip only after
you heard where it was. Because of
the treaty.
This last registers with him. She steps closer to her.
MINJI
How old are you?
BORA
Seventeen.
MINJI
How long have you been seventeen?
A long beat as we begin to CIRCLE THEM. she sees she can't hide
anymore. Honesty is an enormous risk, but she has to take it.
BORA
... A while.
She inhales. She knew, but it's still shocking. We CIRCLE
THEM FASTER
MINJI
I know what the Cold Ones are.
What you are.
BORA
Say it. Out loud. Say it.
All sound suddenly DROPS OUT. We hear only her whisper..
MINJI
... Vampire
They seem to hover in momentary stasis, BORA utterly exposed, her
reality utterly rocked.
BORA
Are you afraid?
MINJI
No.
51.
BORA
(angry)
Then ask me the most basic
question: what do we eat?
MINJI
You won't hurt me. You're different.
BORA
You think you know me?
She glares at her. She holds her ground. Suddenly, she takes
her by the hand. Starts walking.
MINJI
Where are we going?
BORA
Up the mountain. Out of the cloud
bank. You need to see what I really am. What I look like in the
harsh light of the sun.
MINJI
No! The sunlight will kill you.
BORA
Myth. You need to see the truth.
She pulls her but she stumbles.
MINJI
Slow down.
Suddenly, she's right next to her.
BORA
Are you afraid?
MINJI
No.
BORA
Then come with me. Someplace where
no one can protect you. Where I could do what I've wanted to do from
the first moment I met you.
Their proximity is intense, riveting both of them.
MINJI
I'm not afraid.
BORA
You should be.
52.
She abruptly and effortlessly scoops her up into her arms.
BORA
Hold on.
Then she flings her onto her back... and starts running.
69 EXT. FOREST - RUNNING - DAY 69
As in the opening sequence, BORA races through the forest, dark
trunks STROBING past as she picks up speed, faster and faster.
MINJI clings to her back as it seems she'll collide with the trees,
but she avoids them with supernatural grace. It's frightening,
nauseating, intoxicating.
BORA
Are you afraid!?
MINJI
No!
But she clings tighter. Terrified. They climb in altitude.
Higher and higher, above the fog layer. Finally, up ahead.
-
THE FOREST'S EDGE fast approaches, a clearing is beyond. The
sunlight glows white hot beyond the trees... they're about to
emerge from the shadowy darkness... but suddenly-
MINJI finds herself sitting on the ground, against a tree.
All is silent. She's dizzy, tries to regain her equilibrium.
Then she realizes she's alone.
