RUBY
(murmuring)
Don't worry, Fiona… I'll save you… and your parents…
Fiona turns her head, watching her. Her lips tremble—but she smiles.
Fiona - I will also do my best to save you ( softly)
- EARLY MORNING (4:00 AM)
Everyone is gathered, ready for action. A quiet tension lingers in the air.
JACK
Alright, everyone ready? Listen carefully. I'll take the front, Roy covers the back. Ruby follows me, Jisu behind Roy. Fiona, 19 Century, and Jin stay in the middle.
RUBY
Got it. It's showtime. (grinning confidently)
FIONA
Wait—if I'm in the middle, how will I unlock the door before you reach it?
JACK
Because we can't risk you getting hurt. If something happens to you, we're all done for.
ROY
Let's move.
They carefully open the door. A lone zombie stands in front. Jack swiftly chops it down, his shirt soaked with blood. He tosses the body over the railing. It hits the floor below with a sickening THUMP. The sound draws all nearby zombies away from the 9th and 10th floors.
They silently descend. On the 8th floor, two zombies roam.
JACK
(calmly)
Hey Jackie Chan, your turn.
ROY
(confused)
Who, me?
They rush and silently stab the two zombies. They continue down to the 7th floor but don't see a zombie near the stairs. Jack freezes—it's blind, its eyes missing.
RUBY
(whispering)
God… poor thing must've gone through hell.
Jack signals to stay quiet. They sneak past. On the 6th floor, Jack peeks and sees four zombies scattered.
JACK
Four of them… all in different corners. But one's right in front of the stairs.
ROY
His back's turned. Just don't touch him—we should be fine.
