Quentin staggers in and collapses in the foyer. Beth cries out, thrilled that he's returned. She wakes him up and helps him into the drawing room, locking the door behind them. Tell me what happened to me, gasps Quentin. What do you remember? She asks. Nothing after the pain started, he answers. She can barely bring herself to tell him, but Quentin, impatient, insists--what do I become?--what kind of monster?She says, you attacked me. . .you changed. . .into an animal. Edward and Barnabas saw you, and Barnabas beat you away with his cane--they describe you as "a wolf that walks like a man." Quentin is overcome with horror, and buries his face in his hands. There must be something we can do, says a crying Beth. Who did I kill? Asks Quentin. No one! cries Beth, overwrought. Look at me! commands Quentin. It isn't you! wails Beth--you don't know what you're doing--it's the curse![/spoiler]

212 EXT - RAILROAD FOOTBRIDGE - NIGHT 212
as Gerard runs TOWARD CAMERA, Quentin is in hot
pursuit. When he reaches the middle of the bridge,
Gerard stops and turns. Here is where he will make
his stand. Quentin, now at the foot of the bridge,
starts slowly toward him.
GERARD - QUENTIN'S P.O.V. - HAND HELD
TRUCK IN ON Gerard as suddenly we see he holds a
vicious-looking knife.
WIDE ANGLE
With Gerard in the F.G., Quentin moves carefully
toward him. Tracy appears in the B.G. near the foot
of the bridge.
213 SERIES OF SHOTS - HAND-HELD 213
The two are only feet apart when Gerard lashes out.
213 CONTD CONTD 213
Quentin grabs his knife arm and the two begin their
life or death struggle.
THEIR FEET - CLOSE-UP
Both sets of legs are grappling for a firm grip.
Quentin steps backward. His foot collapses a rotten
board. As his leg goes through, WIDEN to see Gerard
gain the advantage. As he presses the knife downward
at Quentin's chest, he is suddenly distracted by the
SOUND OF TRACY'S VOICE.
And that's when yesterday's quote -Page 99/Scene 213 - Tracy (O.S.) (screaming): 'Gerard!'
- comes up, followed in the script by:
As Gerard looks up, reacting, he starts to spring
TOWARD CAMERA. It is too late.
TRACY - CLOSE-UP
as she swings a short piece of heavy wood directly
into the LENS.
GERARD - CLOSE-UP
as he takes the blow full in the face, the force of
it drives him backward. He hits the rickety bridge
railing, falling through it toward the tracks below.
214 LOW ANGLE - UP AT THE BRIDGE 214
From the tracks, Gerard's body can be seen hurtling
TOWARD CAMERA. Suddenly, it stops short, as if
caught in mid-air by an invisible net. There is a
huge flash of light and sparks fly everywhere --
silhouetting the spread-eagle body of Gerard as he
burns to ashes on the high tension wires.
215 EXT - FOOTBRIDGE - NIGHT 215
as Quentin holds Tracy, Alex and Claire ENTER THE
SHOT and cross to them. As Alex looks over the side
at the smoldering remains of Gerard.
And that's when today's quote -Page 99/Scene 215 - Alex: 'Well, it looks like the old BMT will be running late tonight.'
- comes up.
End of sequence.

Outside, closing the panel, Barnabas says that he finds it hard to believe Sarah would betray him by telling David about the secret room. Barnabas feels his sister has rejected him. She will appear to you if she knows you feel threatened, predicts Julia--the best way to silence David is not to kill him, but to find Sarah! Barnabas walks over to his little sister's plaque and touches it.[/spoiler]
