The Ski Lodge – Exterior & Interior A blizzard howls outside. The wind covers the faint crunch of boots approaching the lodge. Inside, tension is electric. Blood is already staining the floor. Joel and Tommy are caught. Ellie, furious and helpless. And Abby... raising the golf club.

Joel is on his knees. Blood drips from his temple. His breathing is ragged. Tommy lies slumped to the side, dazed. Ellie thrashes in the arms of two of Abby’s crew, screaming and kicking.

Ellie: “LET HIM GO! NO! STOP!!” She shouts as tears rolls down her cheeks

Abby stands over Joel, hands tight around a golf club, her breath sharp, eyes burning with hatred.

Abby: “You don’t get to walk away this time.” She raises the club.

Joel blinks through the blood, and for a split second, his eyes find Ellie.

Joel: softly “I’m sorry, kiddo.”

WHAM—

A gunshot blasts through the cabin.

CRACK!!

The bullet tears through Abby’s forearm just as she swings. She screams, stumbling back, dropping the club with a heavy clang. The whole room explodes into chaos.

Owen: “Shit! She’s armed!”

Manny: “Find cover!”

Nora: “She’s hit!”

FRONT DOOR – SMASHING OPEN

Snow pours in with a rush of cold air. Standing in the doorway—gun smoking, eyes blazing—is You. Drenched from the storm. Steady hands. Fierce rage.
