(Ned leapt down the stairs as Henry and Delilah chased him)

Henry: "Get back here, motherfucker!"

(Ned tossed any object he could find in their path in an attempt to slow them down)

(The chase led down to the cave)

Delilah: "No..I can't...Henry I can't go in there.."

Henry: "It's okay, D. I'll get him!"

(Henry pursues Ned into the cave)

(After losing track of him, Henry slowly searched the cave)

(He had a hunch he knew where Ned went as he descended deeper into the cave)

(Sure enough he found him, kneeling over the body of his dead son)

Ned: "They never picked him up. Whole area's been abandoned. Left to rot."

Henry: "Your son probably felt the same way."

Ned: "Shut up. You got no right. It was an accident. Okay? I ain't a murderer."

Henry: "Says the man who just brought a flamethrower into a courtroom."

Ned: "I couldn't let you two tell em everything. Not after all the work I put in. This was always only gonna end one way. With you, me and Delilah. All of us right back where we started."

Henry: "And Brian. You wanted him to stay right here. Hidden from the world. Till I found him."

Ned: "Yeah..you found him alright..and now you're gonna die just like he did."

(Ned lunges suddenly with a knife, Henry punches him and fights back)

(The fight gets visceral and intense)

(Henry sees flashes of when he once defended Julia from a mugger)

Henry: "You're not getting near her!!"

Ned: "Julia ain't gonna be pleased when she finds out, y'know. About how close you and Delilah got. Maybe you just weren't cut out to be a husband."

(Ned lunges but Henry dodges, causing Ned to nearly lose his balance over a chasm)

(Henry grabbed Ned and glared at him)

Henry: "And maybe you weren't cut out to be a father."

(He drops him, Ned disappears into the darkness)
