Daylight Page #4

Get over there, start shooting.

World's gonna wanna know

how we did this.

- New York City:
the Territory Beyond !

- It's still out there !

Are you sayin'

you've found a way out of here ?

Not yet. If you wanna get

your hopes up, go ahead.

A little hope

never hurt anybody.

I will tell you

that this passage,

which George tells me leads to

the south tunnel, has some wormholes.

I'm gonna go in and see if they add up

to a way out. So if you pray, pray.

And if you don't, it might be

a good time to take it up.

[ Everybody Laughing ]

I promise you this, though--

Miss ?

- Huh ?

- Right here.

- All the way.

- Okay.

- You got me ?

- Yeah.

I promise you this:

If there is a way out,

I'll find it.

[ Everybody Laughing ]

Okay, hold on to that.

We're gonna make it.

- I'll be back soon.

- Yes, sir, we'll be waiting !

Listen, I'm gonna make one last sweep

of this tunnel, just in case he's right.

You keep trying to get somebody on

the other end of this thing. Take it.

- Hello ?

- [ Static ]

Need a refresher

on that Semtex procedure ?

- Set, wire, contact, run like hell.

- That's pretty much it, Chief.

[ Maddy On Walkie-Talkie ]

Can anyone hear me ?

I hear you.

Frank, got 'em !

[ Maddy ]

You can hear me ?

George ! George !

Okay, now, talk to me. How many people

are left alive down there ?

There's maybe a dozen,

and we're in the middle of the tunnel...

and there's a man who thinks

he knows the way out.

- How ?

- Something about a mid-river passage.

No, no, no, no.

Listen to me.

Tell them not to go in there. Tell them

we're coming down. Can you do that ?

- [ Static ] I can't hear you.

- Can you do that ?

- Hello !

- We lost 'em. Come on, Frank.

You got two-and-a-half minutes.

The fans are timed logarithmically.

Fan one kicks on

after one minute,

the remaining three

in sub-15 second intervals.

- You follow me ?

- I got it.

There's a guy down there

named George Tyrell.

You tell him

I want my bracelet back.

- [ Walkie-Talkie: Indistinct ]

- Ready to shut down.

Kit, what I did,

I did for the good of the department.

It wasn't personal.

He was your brother, Frank.

It doesn't get more personal.

I was angry.

I'm sorry.

Hey, don't apologize.

You make me feel like

you don't think I'm coming back.

You're probably right.

- Let's do it !

- Norman, now !

Fan one down,

fan two down,

fan three down,

fan four comin' down.

All fans down !

Go, Latura, go.

[ Beeping ]

It's not stopping !

It's not slowing down, Grace !

- Hit the brake !

- There are no brakes !

It's going on momentum !

You've got to stop it !

Frank !

[ Grinding Sound ]

Pull against it !

Pull ! Pull !

You got it !

It's stubborn !

- I got it !

- Just a little bit more !

- You got it ! Take it out !

- [ Beeping ]

[ Beeping,

Alarm Blaring ]

[ Beeping Stops ]

[ Maddy On Walkie-Talkie ]

Hello ? Can you hear me ?

- Yeah, I hear you.

- Hello ?

- How are you doin' ?

- I'm all right.

I just thought you should know

that the man has gone through.

Really ? Where ?

- He's-- Hello ?

- [ Static ]

[ Beeping ]

[ Beeping Quickly ]

[ Alarm Blaring ]

[ Beeping Stops ]

[ Beeping ]

[ Grunting ]

[ Beeping ]

[ Beeping ]

[ Beeping Quickly,

Alarm Blaring ]

[ Beeping ]

[ Beeping ]

[ Grunting ]

[ Beeping Quickly,

Alarm Blaring ]

Aaah !

[ Panting ]

Aaah !

[ Grunting ]

I've seen worse.

[ Grunting ]

[ Mikey ]

Oh, we're saved !

[ Chattering ]

[ Panting ]

Did you guys

stop for coffee ?

- It's a rescue team ! We're out !

- Where are the rest ?

- There is no rest !

- You're joking.

- Aw, come on, man !

- He can't be the only one.

There has to be some more !

- Are some more comin' or what ?

- Sh*t !

- Tell me this is not happening.

- Are we gonna get out ?

- Oh, man, this can't be right !

- Where's the team ?

He's it ?

You're it ?

- You are it ?

- Yeah, I'm it.

- You're the woman

with the walkie-talkie ?

- Yeah.

I thought I was clear.

No one was supposed to go in there.

- Excuse me, it was a lousy connection !

- How many are in there ?

- B*tch, he's talkin' to me !

- Who are you ?

My name's Latura.

Now, who's in there ?

There's one man in there,

and it's Roy Nord himself.

That shaft's unstable.

We gotta get him.

What you up to, man ?

I'm in charge !

If you want to be in charge, fine,

but that shaft's been compromised.

Anybody trying to get through,

that whole thing's gonna come down.

It's not exactly safe

in here, either !

We can't even breathe, man !

We gotta get outta here !

I know you've been through hell,

but I'm just asking you to be patient...

a little bit longer

and just trust me, okay ?

We'll go out

the same way you came in.

- That's not possible.

- If you made it, we can make it.

Just give us a chance, man !

The fans are giving us air.

Shut 'em down, we're dead.

That's it. That's a fact.

That won't work.

Neither will this.

- Roy's on top of it.

- Roy's gonna be under it.

Now let me do what

I gotta do, all right ?

I told you,

I'm in charge here !

I'm in charge !

You understand me ?

Let him go, now !

Hello ? Serena ?

Serena, Roy.

Actually, no.

We ran into a little problem on the way

to the airport. Yeah, listen.

Before we get cut off,

I'm gonna be leading some survivors

up through this ventilating shaft.

[ Nord Continues Indistinctly ]

Hold the plane at Teterboro

and, uh, I'll do press in Denver.

Tell 'em I'll have

some videotape.

No, no,

Jonno didn't make it.

Yeah.

Listen, I gotta go.

- Why don't you take this ?

- Just keep it.

- Take it, man !

- Try to get somebody on it.

The battery's dead !

What's the point ?

- Don't give me any trouble !

- Trouble, man ?

- We're just standing here, Steven.

- We don't know if it's safe.

- We can't just go in there.

- According to who ?

Get that outta

my face, please !

[ Arguments Continue ]

- Hey, where's he going ?

- Hey !

[ Shouting ]

Get back here !

Get back here !

[ Shouting ]

Hey, you all heard

what the man said !

I heard Mr. Nord,

and I believe what he said !

- Women and children first.

- You done this before, man ?

She's a child,

and he needs that tape.

I don't know any more

than you know !

[ Shouting, Arguing ]

[ Tiles Shattering On Ground ]

Nord ?

Nord ? Oh, there you are.

Nord, you're a tough man to find.

My name is Latura, with E.M.S.

You gotta come down now.

That sounds like an order,

Mr. Latura.

You wanna give me an order ?

Call my "800" number.

No, no, seriously,

listen to me.

You and I are gonna

crawl outta here together,

so why don't you just come down

real slow-like, okay ?

There's no way through.

This shaft is like a house of cards.

If it collapses, they're gonna

be moppin' you up for a month.

It's not going to collapse.

How do I know that ?

You don't achieve what I have

without an instinct for

the torque of a given situation.

- [ Structure Groaning ]

- If you think I'm gonna start...

second-guessing myself
