Archer House

Spencer comes out the open doors and hears "Spencer!" he climbs back on the coach and takes off following Lila's voice.

Forest

Lila and Derek run out from a line of trees. "Spencer!"

"Here we are!"

Behind in the forest, Lady Archer rides her white horse, in no hurry. The wind kicks hard and hoofbeats are heard. "Run, Lila! Fast as your pretty legs will carry you. It makes no difference."

On the grass, Spencer drives towards Lila and Derek.

At the tree line, Lady Archer holds up the Horseman's skull, the wind tossing her dress and hair. "Nothing will stop him now!"

At mid-field, Spencer reaches Lila and Derek. "Climb up!"

"Lady Archer…" Derek says out of breath.

"I know. Hold on."

Lila and Derek get on and Spencer turns the coach. She unties Derek's hands. They hear the hoofbeats as they get louder.

"Olly-olly oxen-free!" Spencer looks back towards Lady Archer.

At the tree line, the Horseman breaks into the open, hell on horseback. Full speed ahead, "Christ."

The Long Straight Road

The coach hits the long straight road away from the house. Lila and Derek hold on as the coach shakes violently. "Where are we going, Spencer?"

"Away from here."

"Here he comes!" Derek tells them.

Behind them, the Horseman is closing in on them at a breakneck pace.

"We might make it to the church."

Derek takes a lantern and crawl back to the roof. "Derek!" Lila exclaims. He ignores her, reaching the rear of the coach and throws the lantern at the Horseman. It smashes on the trail.

"Damn it, Derek, get back here!" Spencer tells him, Derek slides back and Lila helps him back down.

"What can we do?" he asks Spencer and Lila.

"Take the reins." Derek takes them from Spencer.

Spencer slings Van Ripper's rifle over his shoulder and starts back. Lila grips him. "Derek is right. We must do something." She releases him, Spencer gets to the luggage area at the rear, struggling to open a storage box.

Behind them, the Horseman draws his sword getting closer to them.

Spencer opens the box, hefting out a long, jagged saw. "Spencer!" Lila gets his attention. He looks and sees the Horseman as he rides up, swinging his sword. Spencer recoils and is just missed by the sword. The Horseman lets the coach get ahead, shifting to the other side of the trail coming along side. Spencer backpedals and looks at Derek. "Keep him off! Block him!"

Derek guides the horses over and the Horseman must fall behind to avoid the wheels. The coach hits a large, fallen tree trunk, Spencer bounces and falls. He hangs off the side of the coach.

Lila climbs to offer her hand. Spencer offers the saw. "Take it!" She takes the saw. Now with both hands and Spencer tries for better purchase. He grips the coach door and it opens. Spencer clings to the open door as branches slam him. He's reaching to the coach treshold, reaching to grip the back corner of the coach. The Horseman dismounts, clinging and climbing the coach. Spencer takes the rifle off his shoulder and aims his gun. He shoots the Horseman's hand point blank. The Horseman hangs on with his other hand. The Horseman re-grips with the blasted hand, amazing since it's now all mush and bone.

Spencer throws the rifle on his way to the driver's perch and takes the saw from Lila. "Move forward!" Lila looks to the horses and then back at Spencer. "Go!" Spencer takes the reins from Derek. "Help her." Reins in one hand and saw in the other, Spencer waits. The Horseman rises up and moves in and takes out his sword. Derek climbs down to the wooden pole connecting the coach to the bridles and puts out his hand. Lila takes it.

Behind, the Horseman swings and Spencer blocks with the saw.

Bareback. Derek straddles the horse besides Lila.

The Horseman swings and backhandedly knocks the sword from Spencer's hand as Spencer falls back. Spencer hits the bridle post and hands onto the straps for dear life. His feet drag on the trail. Above, the Horseman comes to the driver's perch, close enough to kill Lila as he rises his sword…Lila screams, ducks and is helpless. Below them Spencer pulls a bolt from the coach's hitching rod. He shoves off with his feet. The Horseman swings missing Lila. The horses detach from the coach, dragging Spencer along. The coach careens out of control. It flies off the trail, hits an incline and sails off throwing the Horseman.

The coach hits a tree trunk and smashes. Further down the trail, the coach horses stop. Derek and Lila climb off as Spencer gets to his feet, hurting and clutching his previously wounded shoulder.

"What now?"

"I doubt that's the end."

"The church?" Lila asks him.

"He moves too fast." Spencer unhooks a lantern off the bridle rail. The trail behind is silent until they hear a bone chilling screech behind them.

"What was that?"

"His horse."

They start moving and Spencer looks around. He sees the windmill. "There." Through the tree line Derek and Lila also see the massive windmill against the sky. They run towards it.
