The Horse Whisperer
The expression on her face sinks into a stunned panic.
INT. HOSPITAL, CONNECTICUT - DAY
Annie is running through the corridors, her bags in tow. She
sees Robert standing in the corridor talking to a DOCTOR. She
runs for them.
When she appears, Robert and the Doctor stop their
conversation. Robert looks to Annie, who is waiting for news.
ANNIE
WHAT!?
Robert is teary eyed, beaten down.
ROBERT
Judith's dead.
Annie's horrified, waiting for news of Grace.
ANNIE
What about Grace?
ROBERT
She was in pretty bad shape. They've
done a C.A.T. Scan -- she has some
hemorrhaging...
DOCTOR
But nothing we can't handle...
ANNIE
(impatient)
Where is she now?
DOCTOR
Surgery.
ANNIE
Surgery! For what-?
ROBERT
(interrupting)
Annie, her leg was shattered -- what
they call the distal epi.. epi..
DOCTOR
Distal epicondyle of the femur...
ROBERT
(quietly, crying)
They have to take the leg off.
Annie responds without tears and cries but with a quiet
shock. We can tell her mind is racing, trying to process the
information, until finally she asks:
ANNIE
Which leg?
The Doctor and Robert are surprised by the question.
ROBERT
What difference does it make?
Annie stares for a beat, then nods apologetically.
EXT. WOODS - DAY
Pilgrim is sedated, lying in his own blood in the snow,
surrounded by Police and trackers. He is being attended to by
LIZ HAMMOND, who is dictating to her assistant:
LIZ
... His skull, cheek, and nose are
severely fractured. He has a deep
chest wound. I'm not even sure it
can be closed.
