EXT. GRAVESIDE - DAY

The President, Dr. Stone and surviving wildfire team stand solemnly as the PRIEST recites.

PRIEST
They were heroes.

Dr. Stone leans toward the President and whispers.

DR. STONE
What did you do with
the virus sample?

The President wrinkles his brow.

PRESIDENT
I thought it was destroyed.

DR. STONE
You know damn good and well
it wasn't.


EXT. CEMETERY ENTRANCE - CONTINUOUS

Sam Barton speeds through the open gate on a moped.

CU - A wild look in his eyes.

He rounds a bend and spots the ceremony. He pulls a pistol from inside his jacket and points it toward the crowd.

SAM BARTON
Whitey killed my wife!

He begins firing.

The crowd scatters.

The President quickly grabs Dr. Stone and uses him as a human shield.

Dr. Stone is riddled with bullets.

SECRET SERVICEMEN drop into various shooting stances and loose a barrage of bullets.

Sam Barton falls off the moped, the moped careens into the casket(s).

Enrich this!
