Fred Fox Monologue
CONTINUED:
-- HOLD ON Fox in these last passages, absorbed by her.
HANNAH (V.O.)
I couldn’t even tell you how I responded. All I remember is asking you the same -- and your face went white. You clearly hadn’t thought about it. But I’ll never forget I watched you, in the span of one second, just improvise an answer. You blurted it out. I think the words even surprised you. You said, “Other people.”
-- Fox looks up from his letter, at the men of his unit assembling their largest single deception in the war.
EXT. COUNTRY THEATER - DAY
Fox has gathered the entire unit, addressing them all.

FOX

Rendulic FIRES FIVE SHOTS into Fox’s chest, shoulder and stomach. Fox stumbles back. The breath knocked out of him. He slumps to his knees, watching blood sprout across his shirt, staining his hands. A dribble of red on his lips.

RENDULIC (O.S.) Up... up... I said up!
Rendulic WRENCHES Fox to his feet, forcing him to stand. Gun still pressed to his forehead. Urging him backwards.
Fox staggers back, legs wobbling.

Reeder and his men are disarming the captured Nazis, now on their knees in the mud, hands behind their heads.
Reeder sees Fox, then Rendulic step out of the theater. A gun to Fox’s head. Fox sways. He’s hurt and bleeding.
Redder swipes a Luger from a mud-covered Nazi.
WE HOLD ON Reeder racing through the woods, wiping mud from the pistol’s action. But it’s no use. The Luger is jammed. Reeder’s now stuck without a weapon as--
EXT. BURNING THEATER - CONTINUOUS
Rendulic holds Fox at gunpoint, addressing our guys.

RENDULIC
You cease and desist! I have taken your commanding officer captive!
FOX (shouts to men)
Don’t!
Rendulic SHOOTS Fox in the shoulder
