over the red horizon screenplay
draft 1. scene 1.
by, Brady A. Guy

December 20, 1949
*three men sit around a table in a dark room with a single lantern in the middle. They tell tales about past Christmas eves, before the war, before the end of the world. They reminisce about good beers and gay times with their families. The amerikan dream, a time of joy. A time which has long since past, now it is a time of survival, darkness and death.*

Colonel Bradford Edwards I remember back in ’34, my friend Joe went out one night, this was in New York by the way, but anyhow he got so drunk it was even funny he was hammered. So about 3:00 am I get a call from the owner of the bar his name was Tyrone Malcan or something like that, young kid he was smart and everything. So I drive over to pick his fat ass up and take him back home, now keep in mind this was while after the bars close. so I pull up to see Joe with his piece pulled out and yeah I’m sure you could see where this going, the gun goes off and shoots Tyrone, ha-ha poor Tyrone… dead in the throat. Dead instantly. So my dumb ass instead of calling the police loads him up and take him over to Tommy, uh he Tommy Falcone one of Joe and I’s friends. He was bad, toxic to be around. He took the body and that was the end of it. I was just 20 back then, to young to even drink, and carrying dead bodies to mob bosses. Now look at me sitting around a god damn lantern in the middle of who knows where in Pennsylvania. Ugh ha-ha anyway who’s next?
*Everyone just looks at him stunned.*
Sergeant Gustav Ienbachav, I think that is enough stories for tonight.
General Vladimir Kuliev I agree, ha-ha….(taking a swig of vodka) I need some sleep, (Slumps over on his sleeping bag, and covers up and goes to sleep).
Sergeant Gustav Ienbachav  Good night.
Colonel Bradford Edwards Night.

Scene 2.  1 am.
    *Bradford awakens to a muffled gunshot outside the house.*
(He sits up but the rest of the men are drunk out of their minds and asleep)
Colonel Bradford Edwards Psssst, Vlad… Vlad!
{nothing}
He stand up and puts his boots on. He grabs his rifle and goes out to the porch. Far out in the yard is a body, of a German soldier. And slumping up the yard is another silhouette.
Colonel Bradford Edwards (Raising his rifle) Stop! Hey! Stop right there! Ill shoot! Tell me your name!! God damn it stop! (Click the safety on his rifle off)
Private John Reese (Grunting as blood pours out of his mouth) No! …. Please… help me.. ugh. (falls over in the snow)
Colonel Bradford Edwards Christ! (immediately runs to the man. A young army private. Dragging him up and bringing him inside. Awoken by the commotion the rest of the men jumped to his aid.
Sergeant Gustav Ienbachav Who the hell is this guy?!
Colonel Bradford Edwards How the hell would I know?! He was stumbling through the yard!
General Vladimir Kuliev looks to be part of that 23rd blue battalion…
Sergeant Gustav Ienbachav yeah yeah.. I think you’re right.
(Outside comes a commotion)
German Military commander (shouting into a cone) come out with our prisoner! We know he is in there! Bring him to us and no body gets harmed!
General Vladimir Kuliev Bradford go up and gain an Arial position. Ill signal you. Gus you get my back and get ready for some sparks eh? Ahaha.
 (Bradford goes up to a bedroom window)
General Vladimir Kuliev peeking his head out the door, you promise you wont hurt us?
German Military commander Of course! I am a man of my word. Right gentlemen? (to the two masked soldiers standing next to him.) mhm they grunt.
General Vladimir Kuliev Hmm (thinking)… I don’t believe you.. hah.
German Military commander Wha…

(instantly Bradford, Vlad and Gustav open fire on the Germans killing them all.)
 General Vladimir Kuliev ( mocking the German) I’m a man of my word… hahaha pfft.

Scene 2

December 23, 1950.
(Bradford is doing reconnaissance not far from the house. He hears yelling and terror.) he rounds a corner to see a pastor, a young man being cornered by a bone man, a semi dead soldier or corpse severally infected with radiation causing madness and cannibalistic habits. The pastor is holding his cross out in terror.)
* Bradford raises his rifle and shoots the zombified creature in the head. Saving the pastor)
Joseph Oh thank goodness! I knew God would save me!
Colonel Bradford Edwards Glad to be of service. Are you coming?
Joseph Oh, of course!
Colonel Bradford Edwards (now back at the house,) vlad do you fancy yourself a religious man?
General Vladimir Kuliev why?
Colonel Bradford Edwards …brought you a little Christmas miracle…
 General Vladimir Kuliev Who the hell is he?!
 Colonel Bradford Edwards No clue, saved his ass from a bone man..
 General Vladimir Kuliev Okay well send him out we got no business with him..
Colonel Bradford Edwards No! are you crazy he will freeze out there! And it is Christmas how could you..
General Vladimir Kuliev …damn it! Bradford you know that word means nothing! There is no God! Can’t you see that! The world is damned!  No one is coming….
Colonel Bradford Edwards (angered over this, punches Vlad in the nose knocking him cold.)  Dumb drunk. Don’t worry he just starts talking crazy when he gets drunk, this war has taken a toll on all our minds. But, please, come in.
Joseph Oh, Thank you so much.
Colonel Bradford Edwards This is Gustavo, uh we call him Gus. That is John. We rescued him a couple nights ago. I am Bradford, and I see you have already met Vlad. Ha-ha. We are remnants of the war and are held out here till we can get into contact with our commander again. However, you are welcome to stay here for as long as you wish. There sure is plenty of space and food for all of us.
Joseph Thanks again.
Colonel Bradford Edwards Of course.


December 24, 1950.   Christmas Eve.

(the men sit around the same table puffing cigars and sipping brews. On the radio comes a Christmas classic.)
General Vladimir Kuliev gentlemen, we survived another year. Cheers. May we live to see many many more!
Colonel Bradford Edwards Cheers!
Sergeant Gustav Ienbachav Cheers!
Joseph Cheers! And merry Christmas!
All: ( laugh and say merry Christmas! They go on to reminisce and have a jolly night.)
The morning silence and peace is broken by the sound of distant battle, gunfire, and cannon and artillery blasts.
Sergeant Gustav Ienbachav (to vlad.) .50mm land rockets. About 7 miles out on the other side of town. If I had to guess it is just a passing battalion firing on a encampment.
Colonel Bradford Edwards I’m going for reconnaissance. If I am not back before sundown, assume I am captured dead or lost.
Joseph No! don’t go! It is a death trap!
Colonel Bradford Edwards I have to, we need to know what is going on! Vlad, take care of Joe and Jon. I will be back. (he gears up and leaves)
5:00 am
Joseph (Worried) do you guys think he is okay? He has been gone for a long time!
No one answers as they are drunk out of their minds. Joseph goes up to get John to help him aid an search and rescue mission. They gear up and head out to find the man who saved them once before.
Private John Reese Uh so, where were you born?
Joseph Pittsburgh. You?
Private John Reese I actually don’t know, my mother was killed when I was 2 and me and my pops moved to Phili where I was raised.
Joseph Oh, I am sorry I didn’t….
Private John Reese No, no it is okay.
(Mean while they hear grunting and rustling nearby. Bradford is being pinned down and a German soldier is on top of him just about to slit his throat with a bayonet.
Colonel Bradford Edwards Joseph, Shoot him! Ugh now! (grunting and suffering)
German Bewegen und ich ihn toten!
Joseph John, what do I do?!
Private John Reese Shoot the rat bastard..
Joseph I… I …I can’t. It’s not my place; I am a man of God! I can’t I….
Then suddenly Vlad comes behind the German and smashes a vodka bottle over his head. Bradford jumps up with the bayonet and stabs him repeatedly in the face, as Vlad kicks his chest and ribs in. They eventually beat him to death. Covered in blood, Bradford, Vlad and walk back to the house. Gustav is huddled around the radio.
Sergeant Gustav Ienbachav Ssshh! Something terrible has happened in Washington, it’s really bad.
They all run over
Radio Announcer ….I repeat, Washington has been destroyed, the entire presidential cabinet is dead. Repeat, FDR is dead. Mr. Vice President is dead. The military president, Emilia Smith is missing.

Sergeant Gustav Ienbachav Jesus Christ, help us all.
General Vladimir Kuliev We have to help, it is our obvious duty…
Private John Reese How!? This country has been taken. It is theirs now…
Colonel Bradford Edwards Bullshit! You can let a bunch of filthy fascists scum and a big fat meatball take over the world. We must fight back! Gustav, where did they say that Emilia was taken!?
Sergeant Gustav Ienbachav I don’t know. Something about a pop-up concentration camp somewhere around Pittsburgh.
