Aliens Page #5

Synopsis: Fifty seven years after Ellen Ripley survived her disastrous ordeal, her escape vessel is recovered after drifting across the galaxy as she slept in cryogenic stasis. Back on Earth, nobody believed her story about the "Aliens" on the moon LV-426. After the "Company" orders the colony on LV-426 to investigate, however, all communication with the colony is lost. The Company enlists Ripley to aid a team of tough, rugged space marines on a rescue mission to the now partially terraformed moon to find out if there are aliens or survivors. As the mission unfolds, Ripley will be forced to come to grips with her worst nightmare, but even as she does, she finds that the worst is yet to come.

Open the door! Hicks!

Drake! We are leaving!

Get them, Vas!

Run for it!

Sh*t!

- Let's go!

- Drake, come on, man!

Drake, come on!

Aagh!

- Aaaghhh...!

- No...!

Fire in the hold!

- He's gone!

- No! Drake's out there!

Put it out!

Drake's coming!

He's gone!

No, he's... Not!

Forget him! He's gone!

Get on the goddamn door!

Eat this!

Aagh!

Ripley! Go, go, go!

Whoa!

Oh!

It's all right! We're clear!

Ripley, you've blown the transaxle!

You're just grinding metal!

Come on, ease down.

Ease down.

Ease down!

Ease down.

You OK?

I'm all right.

Get away from me, man!

- Lieutenant.

- What happened to Gorman?

I don't know... Maybe a concussion.

- But he's alive.

- No, man, he's dead!

- Wake up, pendejo! I'm gonna kill you!

- Back off!

Right now.

Somebody get me a first-aid kit.

Hey. Hey, look!

The Sarge and Dietrich aren't dead, man.

Their signs are real low, but they ain't dead.

- Then we go back in there and get them.

- I ain't going back!

You can't help them!

You can't. Right now they're

being cocooned just like the others.

Oh, dear Lord Jesus,

this ain't happenin', man.

This can't be happenin', man.

This isn't happenin'!

We've got seven canisters of CN-20.

I say we roll them in there

and nerve-gas the whole f***in' nest.

It's worth a try, but we

don't know if it'll affect 'em.

Let's bug out and call it even.

Why even talk about it?

I say we take off and

nuke the entire site from orbit.

It's the only way to be sure.

- F***in' A!

- Hold on one second.

This installation has a substantial

dollar value attached to it.

They can bill me.

OK, look.

This is an emotional moment

for all of us, OK? I know that.

But let's not make snap judgments, please.

This is clearly an important species

we're dealing with,...

... And I don't think anybody

has the right to arbitrarily...

...exterminate them.

- Wrong.

Yeah. Watch us.

Maybe you aren't up on current events,

but we just got our asses kicked, pal!

Look, I'm not blind to what's going on,...

... But I cannot authorise that kind of action.

Well, I believe Corporal Hicks

has authority here.

Corporal Hicks is...

This operation is under militaryjurisdiction.

Hicks is next in chain of command.

Am I right, Corporal?

Yeah.

Yeah, that's right.

Yeah. Look, Ripley, this is

a multimillion-dollar installation, OK?

He can't make that decision.

He's just a grunt.

No offence.

None taken.

- Ferro, do you copy?

- Standing by.

- Prep for dust-off. We need immediate evac.

- Roger. On our way.

I say we take off... Nuke the site

from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

Let's do it.

Let's go! Pick it up, Hudson.

Pick it up, baby.

All right. Set him down here.

Move it, Spunkmeyer. We're rolling.

Hold on a second. There's something...

Just get up here.

I'm in. Ramp closing.

Spunkmeyer.

Goddamn it.

Well, where the f***...

Run!

Well, that's great.

That's just f***in' great, man.

Now what the f*** are we supposed to do?

We're in some real pretty sh*t now, man!

Are you finished?

You all right?

I guess we're not

gonna be leaving now, right?

I'm sorry, Newt.

You don't have to be sorry.

It wasn't your fault.

That's it, man. Game over, man! Game over!

What the f*** are we gonna do now?

What are we gonna do?

Maybe we could build a fire, sing

a couple of songs. Why don't we try that?

We'd better get back cos it'll be dark soon,

and they mostly come at night.

Mostly.

That's everything, right?

This is absolutely everything

we could salvage out ofthe APC wreckage.

We got four pulse rifles

with about 50 rounds each.

That ain't so good.

We got 15 ofthese M-40 grenades.

Don't touch that.

Dangerous, honey.

- Is that the only flamethrower?

- Yeah. It's only halffull, but it's functional.

And another one's damaged.

I don't know about that one.

But the good news...

We got four ofthese robot sentries...

... with display and scanners intact.

They really kick ass. They'll come in handy.

How long after we're declared overdue

can we expect a rescue?

17 days.

17 days?

Hey, man, I don't wanna rain on your parade,

but we're not gonna last 17 hours!

Those things are gonna come in here

like they did before, and...

Hudson! Hudson!

This little girl survived longer than that

with no weapons and no training.

Right?

- Why don't you put her in charge?

- You better start dealing with it, Hudson.

Listen to me.

Deal with it, because we need you...

... And I'm sick ofyour bullshit.

Now get on a terminal and call up

a floor-plan file. Do you understand?

Construction blueprints. Anything that

shows the layout. Are you listening?

Yeah.

I need to see air ducts, electrical

access tunnels, sub-basements,...

... Every possible way into this complex.

We don't have much time.

OK.

- OK, I'm on it.

- Hudson...

Just relax.

I'll be in med lab.

I'll check on Gorman, continue my analysis.

Fine.

You do that.

So this service tunnel must be

how they're moving back and forth.

Right. It moves from the processing

station right into the sub-level here.

Come down on that.

OK, come over.

Hold it. Go back.

OK, punch that in right there.

- No. It's back here.

- OK.

Well, there's a pressure door at this end.

Couldn't we put a remote

sentry unit in the tunnel...

...and then seal that door?

- But we gotta figure on them getting in.

That's right, so...

... we repair the barricades

at these two intersections...

... And weld plate steel

over these ducts here, and here,...

... And here.

Then they can only come at us

from these two corridors.

Right. Then we put

the other sentry units here...

... And here. Right?

- Right.

- Outstanding.

Now all we need is a deck of cards.

All right, let's move

like we've got a purpose.

- Affirmative.

- Affirmative.

Do your thing, baby.

Vasquez, let's get the hell out of here.

- A and B sentries are in place and keyed.

- Roger.

Stand by. Arming now.

Test it, Hudson.

- Do it!

- Fire in the hole!

OK! Let's get the hell out of here!

We're sealing the tunnel!

Come on, baby.

For what it's worth...

Here, I want you to put this on.

What's it for?

It's a locator. Then I can find you

anywhere in the complex... On this.

It's just a precaution.

Thanks.

Doesn't mean we're engaged or anything.

All right, what's next?

Last stop.

Get in.

Scoot down.

That's good.

Now you lie here and have a nap.

You're very tired.

I don't want to. I have scary dreams.

Well, I bet Casey doesn't have scary dreams.

Let's take a look.

Nope. Nothing bad in there.

See?

Maybe you could just try to be like her.

Ripley, she doesn't have bad dreams...

... Because she's just a piece of plastic.

Right.

I'm sorry, Newt.

There.

My mommy always said there

were no monsters. No real ones.

But there are.

Yes, there are, aren't there?

Why do they tell little kids that?

Most ofthe time it's true.

Did one ofthose things grow inside her?

I don't know, Newt.

That's the truth.

Isn't that how babies come?
