237         EXT. THE JORGENSEN HOUSE – CLOSE SHOT – MOSE HARPER –

AFTERNOON

 

He is in a rocker on the porch. Suddenly he stares out and

stops rocking. Faint in the distance, but coming closer,

the clop-clop of two horses, moving at a walk. A moment

later Jorgensen emerges and comes to stand beside Mose,

shading his eyes and squinting against the sun, still

not recognizing the distant horsemen. He is joined by

Mrs. Jorgensen. And then Laurie comes out and she too

stares, frowning at first, then with dawning realization.

Lars and Mrs. Jorgensen also begin to guess…to suspect…

and then to know. And Laurie starts to run.

 

238         CLOSE SHOT – MOVING WITH LAURIE

 

The CAMERA MOVES ahead of her as she runs blindly over the

hard-packed ground, running as hard as she can toward the

still unseen but nearing horsemen.

 

239         FULL SHOT – THE GROUP

 

Ethan has Debbie on the pommel of his saddle, his arm

supporting her, and she is asleep. Martin is riding beside

them. Laurie comes running up to stare at Ethan and at

the girl. He smiles and puts a finger to his lips —

cautioning her against waking Debbie — and then he rides

1. Laurie looks then at Martin. He doesn’t know whether

to smile or not; he just waits. And then she is beside

him and she steps onto his stirruped foot and vaults up

beside him, and she kisses him just as she had on the day

he left the graves to take up the search. And still holding

her beside him, he rides slowly after Ethan and Debbie

toward the house.
