Alien: Resurrection Page #6

---

CUT TO:
INT. HALL - CONTINUOUS

Call comes out and before she can move a RIFLE BUT hits her the head.

She goes down but not out as two guards grab her. Wren is with them

and three more.

WREN:

I think you're gonna find that this was ill advised.

(to the men) Where are her friends?

GUARD:

Mess hall, most of them.

WREN:

Sound the alarm. I want them rounded up. Now!

TO:
INT. MESS HALL - MOMENTS LATER

ANGLE:
THE CARD TABLE

Being kicked over.

Elgyn, Hillard and Rane are pushed into the room, sleepy and confused.

Christie, St Just, and Johner are all being herded in by soldiers.

Call is thrown into the group as well.

ELGYN:

What the f*** is going on here?

CHRISTIE:

Looks like a doublecross, boss.

WREN:

Where's the other one? With the chair?

JOHNER (to a soldier)

Get your f***ing hands off me!

ELGYN:

Do you mind telling me what the f*** you're up to?

WREN:

Shut up!

(to a guard) Get the general. Wake him up.

ELGYN:

Look, if there's a problem tell me what it is. We can work this out,

there is no need to get emotional ...

St Just is silent, standing in the same position he was when Ripley

attacked Johner.

Hands behind his back.

ANGLE:
BEHIND ST JUST'S BACK

As Elgyn speaks, two guns..slip out of his sleeves and fill his hands.

CALL:

They got nothing to do with this, Wren.

ELGYN (to Call)

To do with what?

WREN I don't give a f***. It's way too late for that. You're all

looking at a firing squad.

You hear me?

ELGYN:

I do. St Just?

With lighting precision, St Just raises his hands and blows of the

guards away.

He takes out a third to his left without even looking that way.

One guard gets off a shot with his burner, frying Rane before Hillard's

elbow knocks his teeth well into his throat.

Christie tackles the next as Johner presses a latch on the bottom of

his thermos -- the top half flies off, revealing handle of a gun

inside. He grabs it and another guard runs. Johner doesn't have time

to pull the gun-out of the the so he SHOOTS right through it, sending

the guard flying..

CUT TO:
INT. ALIEN OBSERVATION LAB - CONTINUOUS

Alarms, flashing red lights. Gediman looking in a video monitor.

GEDIMAN:

What the f***... You three! Go! Sector two.

All but one of the guards rush out to investigate. Gediman works the

surveilliance screen, trying to see what's happening

CUT TO:
INT. MESS HALL - CONTINUOUS

When the smoke clears, There are two guards still standing. They point

their weapons inneffectually. St Just a has gun to wren's head and a

gun on the guards, who are also covered by Johner.

ELGYN:

Nice and easy, boys ...

Call starts to take off.

CALL:

I'm gonna finish this.

Elgyn grabs her by the hair, roughly pulls her back.

ELGYN:

You're going nowhere, Annalee.

CUT TO:
INT. OBSERVATION LAB - CONTINUOUS

ANGLE:
IN THE PEN

The three aliens have picked up the energy. are stalking back and forth

like tigers in the dim light of their pen.

ANGLE:
THEIR POV

We see Gediman and the guard, their backs to us. The aliens-stop

pacing. One of them, to the right, looks at the one on the left.

Something passes between them. They look back at the humans. At each

other.

They SET ON the middle alien, TEARING IT APART. It lets out piercing,

insectile SHRIEKS as they tear it limb from limb.

Gediman spins in terror, the guard bringing up his weapon. Gediman hits

the lights inside the pen and as they blink to shocking brightness we

see:

The remains of the third alien on the ground as a giant pool its blood

EATS A HOLE IN THE FLOOR.

GEDIMAN:

Oh, God

He bolts for the failsafe but it's too late as the blood eats all the

way through - the two aliens DIVE through the hole. just as Gediman

hits the button -- freezing gas fills the chamber but there's nothing

to freeze.

GEDIMAN:

No no no!

He hits another sequence and the door slides open. He rushes in,

kneels by the hole and looks down.

ANGLE:
HIS POV

Their blood has already eaten through two levels.

GEDIMAN:

Christ. They could be anywhere.

He looks up at the guard -- and an alien FLIES UP at him through the

hole.

It was hanging on the ceiling below and it pulls him through before he

can breathe a decent scream.

The guard just stares, shaking.

CUT TO:
INT. MESS HALL

The mexican standoff is getting even more heated.

CHRISTIE:

Who gives a sh*t! We have to get out of here.

ELGYN:

If Call's got something going here I want to know what it is!

WREN:

You brought her here..

Two more guards rush in. Johner shoves' his gun in Wren's mouth.

JOHNER:

Drop them! I'm not f***ing with you!

CHRISTIE (indicating the dead soldiers)

Boss, we got bodies here. It doesn't matter what Call's up to, we're

all f***ed now.

CALL:

I have to stop him. If I don't we'll all die.

WREN (pulls his mouth away)

Elgyn, tell me what you know. If she's alone in this.

HILLARD:

In what?

Johner puts his gun to Call's temple now.

JOHNER:

Does anyone want me to make this simple?

Far away, a SCREAM. Everyone stops. Wren turns slowly in the direction

it came from.

WREN:

No...

CUT TO:
INT. HALLWAY BY LABS

A technican RUNS screaming just as an alien LEAPS on him from behind.

The CAMERA RUSHES AWAY, frenzied as the scene, to pick up a guard in

the next hall firing wildly at the ceiling as an alien dissappears up

an airvent. There are three bodies lying dead before us.

ANGLE:
IN THE PENS

We see that the aliens have been freed. Smoke, dead bodies, the

plexiglass partition to one 1 cage is cracked and open.

CUT TO:
INT. RIPLEY'S CELL - CONTINUOUS

Ripley sits in the dark, the noise of Chaos just beginning filter in.

And she just can't help herself.

She is LAUGHING.

CUT TO:
INT. PEREZ'S QUARTERS CONTINUOUS

He is mostly dressed, still shaking off sleep. He stands at the

command console, bringing up visual. Everything on the screens is

smoke and noise.

PEREZ:

Ensign! Damage Report! Ensign!

Nothing. On one of the screens, an alien is briefly visible. Perez

stiffens at the sight of it.

He punches up a different sector. The labs, and here is a badly wounded

lieutenant.

PEREZ:

Status!

LIEUTENANT:

Containment is impossible, sir... I think they swept the barracks.

PEREZ (to himself)

A military strike.... Christ Jesus ...

After a beat, he starts punching in the emergency override codes.

CUT TO:
INT. BARRACKS - CONTINUOUS

It's worst here -- the aliens have taken out a dozen men in their

sleep, and everyone awake is screaming. One soldier runs for the

weapons cabinet -- an alien hits him from behind and SMASHES him into

it, falling in a tumble of guns.

Over the chaos, the emergency lighting comes on, floor light like an

airplane's indicating the nearest exit. Father's voice is

excruciatingly calm:

FATHER:

Emergency. Initiate evacuation procedures immediately. All hands. This

is not a drill.

One soldier gets a bead on an alien with his burner - fries italong

with two of his friends.

They're out of commission, but the alien is hurt only momentarily. It

bounds forward, takes out his face.
