John jumps over the narrow part of the creek and catches his daughter. The momentum carries him and April into a mountain of crops.

EXT. CORN FIELD - DAY Leaves and stalks slap them from all directions as they run.

John slows down, gains control of his breathing. Hears the WHEEZY PURR of the alien nearby. Not sure what direction.

Could be anywhere.

April loses her dad for a moment through the dense corn. She gets tangled and falls. Starts to panic.

April turns as a SHADOW PASSES OVER HER.

A HAND GRABS APRIL’S HAND.

Will pulls April to her feet. They run together. Will never lets go of her hand.

John stumbles into a harvest tract. He can see the top of the farmhouse materializing through the crops.

April and Will appear twenty feet away in the same tract.

They’re searching for John.

John tries to motion them over but -- THUD.

A SCARECROW DROPS OUT OF THE SKY AND LANDS BETWEEN THEM - AS IF THROWN BY THE ALIEN. EVERYONE DUCKS. FRIGHTENED AND SILENT. MUSIC SCORE RISES.

THERE IS MOVEMENT ALL AROUND THEM.

BUT WHERE IS IT COMING FROM?

61.

IT’S COMING... FROM BEHIND... MIA (V.O.) April?

A LINE FORMS IN THE CROPS. THE KIND OF LINE MADE BY SOMETHING TRAMPLING THROUGH A FIELD. HEADING DIRECTLY TOWARDS APRIL.

APRIL STARES AT THE THROWN SCARECROW. IT’S THE ONE SHE LEFT BEHIND EARLIER.
