Alien: Resurrection Page #7

---

FATHER:

Emergency. Initiate evacuation procedures ...

CUT TO..

INT. HALLWAY BY ENGINE ROOM - CONTINUOUS

The noise is too far above to be heard down here, but Fathers droning

voice and the emergency lighting are on.

Vriess wheels slowly into the hall, concerned. He spins slowly,

checking out his surroundings.

ANGLE:
DOWN THE HALL

There is nothing.. Just the floor lights pulsing in succession towards

the exit.

Vriess follows their lead, wheeling out.

CUT TO:
INT. NEXT HALL - CONTINUOUS

Nothing here either. But Vriess's fur is up -- he moves slowly,

carefully.

And was that a noise? He looks around, up at the ceiling.

A drop of alien blood is eating through right above him. It drips down

-- and he rolls out of the way just in time, back up as the blood plops

to the floor, eating casually through.

CUT TO:
INT. LIFEBOAT BAY ONE - CONTINUOUS

Men are rushing into one of the lifeboats. They sit facing each other

in the tiny vessel and strap themselves in. Pere is here, hurrying

the soldiers in, pushing back the few who try to crowd in after.

PEREZ:

Bay three! Go!

The late soldiers make for the next boat as Perez seals the hatch. He

hits the eject button and steps back.

CUT TO:
EXT. THE AURIGA - CONTINUOUS

As the lifeboat FIRES out of the side of the giant craft.

CUT TO:
INT. BAY THREE - CONTINUOUS

Men crowd into this one too -- it's nearly full and an alien suddenly

LEAPS into it.. starts feeding on the men strapped down - they are

screaming.

Perez runs in as a soldier outside the lifeboat fires his burner,

hitting the alien, the men, the controls -- a shower of sparks as the

alien-turns, about to spring on the soldier as he rolls in a grenade.

The doors shut and and a soldier hits the eject button.

TO:
EXT. AURIGA - CONTINUOUS

The second lifeboat comes shooting out and moments later. EXPLODES.

CUT TO:
INT. MESS HALL - CONTINUOUS

The noise of the explosion - and of a few inside as well - is all

around the group.

Father's voice still urges evacuaticion

WREN:

NO!

(to Call)

What have you done?

CALL:

Nothing. Not a goddanm thing. You thought you could control it.

ELGYN:

All right. We make for the Betty. Can he walk?

He is pointing at Rane, who nods, standing.

HILLARD Betty's all the way across the ship! Who knows what's in

between?

CALL (indicating Wren)

He does.

One of the soldiers steps forward. DiStephano.

DISTEPHANO (to Wren)

Sir, we have to go.

(to Elgyn) Let him go. No quarrel.

ELGYN:

You can have him when we're off. Not before.

They start out, dragging Wren along. Guns still on Call and the

soldiers.

What about Vriess?

JOHNER:

F*** Vriess!

CUT TO INT. FALL - CONTINUOUS

Vries enters, looking around. He is getting seriously wigged.

The lights on the floor still pulse. Urging him forward. He obeys.

Something stirs in the rafters. Coiled about the pipes.

Vriess stops, still a good thirty feet from the beast. Strains to see.

It starts MOVING, climbing at him upside down on the pipes. FAST.

Vriess starts wheeling himself back away but SLOWLY, agonizingly slowly

compared to the beast.

He turns the corner, spins around.

The hall is fifty feet long. At the far end a few soldiers running

through.

SERGEANT:

Seal off that sector!

A soldier runs to obey, working the door controls.

VRIESS:

No!

The soldier sees him, but the fear on the boy's face telegraphs his-

decision.

Vreiess starts pumping toward the door. He's strong, picking up speed,

but the alien rounds the corner and bolts after him.

Vriess can't even look back as the thing gains on him. The door begins

to come down, the soldier finishing the sequence and running off.

Vriess rolls, face set -- the alien a few feet behind, reaching for him

An EXPLOSION far away ROCKS THE SHIP -- the hall tilted momentarily,

Vriess gets a boost as he rockets downhill, the beast still on him,

the door closing, too low for him to clear. He gets there and SLAMS a

lever, his chair FLATTENS out to a dolly position, his head just

CLEARS the closing door as the alien SLAMS into it, Vriess spinning out

and flying off the chair it tilts, landing in a heap next to him.

Lying still on the ground, he listens as the beast slams against the

door a few more times, then fades off.

VRIESS:

F*** everything....

He reaches up for the chair and from the back of it he pulls out a

shotgun.

CUT TO:
INT. LIFEBOAT BAY 5 - CONTINUOUS

Perez is trying to maintain order. He is failing. Grabs a corporal.

PEREZ:

Muster a squad to search for survivors!

CORPORAL:

F*** no! F*** no! F*** you!

Perez slams him to the ground with his fist.

An ALIEN LEAPS OUT at him from the ceiling. The soldiers scatter, Perez

just leaping out of the way --

PEREZ:

Shoot it! Fry it!

A couple of men fire their burners, to little effect.

One soldier runs up to the action. His head is bloodied, his expression

vengefully grim.

The soldier whips out a pistol, private.issue, he takes a bead on the

thing --

PEREZ:

NO!

And the soldier FIRES -- pumps three bullets into the beast sends it

flying back toward the window.

Perez is riveted by the sight of: ANGLE: DROPS OF BLOOD

big ones, hitting the window. Everything seems to move slowly now - the

alien, struggling as the soldier pumps two more bullets into it, the

other soldiers, Perez -- the monster falls and the BLOOD EATS THROUGH

THE WINDOW..

PEREZ:

Get out! Everyone! Now!

Soldiers are beginning to get it.. The window CRACKS, begins to SHAKE

as the blood is almost through it.

Even the soldier who shot the alien has stopped, his face frozen in

horror at what he's about to accomplish.

Perez shoves him, herds the rest out, looking back --

PEREZ:

Clear the sector!

at the window, the blood is almost through --

Men are pouring out of the hall -- some move down a side hall and SLAM

the door shut behind them, but most are making for the main exit

anyway.

FATHER:

Warning. Potential hullbreach. Clear sector.

The blood eats a hole in the window -- the nearest soldier is sucked

back against the window -- he SCREAMS as he is sucked through a hole

no bigger than his fist.

Still men are falling over each other, Perez herding them out.

A huge CRACKING sound, and Perez shuts his eyes.

The window explodes outward, the air blowing everything int space.

Debris, vehicles, men, all tangled and dead as they blown out into the

black.

ANGLE:
THE SECTOR DOORS

SLAM shut instantly one cutting right through a soldier halfway out.

ANGLE:
AIR VENTS

Gates slam down here as well.

ANGLE:
ELECTRICAL DUCTS

Foam SHOOTS into them, hardening instantly, sealing the breached

sector.

FATHER:

Breach contained. Sector five nonfunctional.

CUT TO:
INT. HALL - CONTINUOUS

As the crew moves quickly through. They come to a shut door, red

lights along it indicating it's locked.

ELGYN (to DiStephano)

Open it.

DISTEPHMO:

I can't.

Johner puts his gun to the soldier's head.
