Edge of Tomorrow Page #5

CAGE:
Hold on! Now, remember:

Across the trench, 12:00!

Then look to your right!

You're not being specific.

You need to be specific.

Otherwise, I'm dead.

Rita.

RITA:
Cage!

Paces up to the top of the trench.

I'm gonna step left.

A mimic there, which I'll kill.

...ship explosion. I'm gonna

run 30 paces northwest.

I'm gonna duck at the top of that

trench and then I'm gonna turn left.

Have I got something on my face?

No.

SKINNER:
Cage!

We've been looking

everywhere for you.

Cage!

- Cage, we've been looking...

- Guys.

Guys. Can we...

just...

not do this today?

What are you talking about?

Farell almost strung us up by our

bollocks for losing track of you.

Okay, Skinner. Watch this.

Now I'm gonna close my eyes.

- Ready?

- Yeah.

[SKINNER GRUNTING]

SKINNER:
Sneaky bastard.

I didn't mind the extra push-ups.

[ALARM WAILING]

FARELL:
It's a new day people.

Destiny calls.

The world expects only one

thing from us:
that we will win.

WOMAN [ON TV]:
...current

situation on the front line.

Our troops have suffered

heavy casualties.

MAN 1:
It's about time we showed

those things what we're made of.

My father flew in

the Battle of Britain.

Three years before the

Yanks came into the war.

Couldn't be broken.

Backbone.

MAN 2:
My Uncle George landed

on the beach at Normandy.

MAN 1:
Yeah?

MAN 2:
In their day, this war

would have been over by now.

What do they want with us, anyway?

It's obvious, isn't it? Minerals.

- Minerals?

- Yeah, minerals. Metals.

- MAN 3:
Oxygen, they want.

- MAN 1:
Oxygen?

- MAN 3:
Think about it.

- What difference does it make?

They're here. They're winning.

And whatever it is,

they're gonna get it.

MAN 4:
Shouldn't you be over there?

I've been over there.

More times than anybody.

As a matter of fact,

I'm usually long dead by now.

Coward.

MAN 5:
What's going on?

MAN 6:
The power's gone.

[SIRENS WAILING]

[PEOPLE SCREAMING]

[GUNFIRE]

[GRUNTING]

CARTER:
I found the Omega.

I found it. It has to be here.

Curnera Dam, Germany.

- This has got to be it. It fits the description.

- CAGE:
You found it.

Again.

What difference does it make?

Because we're never gonna get there.

No matter what we do...

no matter how carefully we plan...

we can't get off that beach.

You can do this. You can.

You keep coming here every

day and I'll train you.

You already have.

- I'm waiting, Nance!

- Five hundred meters and closing fast!

What the...?

[GRUNTING]

COMPUTER:
Reload.

What's next?

Straight shot up the hill.

RITA:
Okay.

Hey, sarge, the new guy...

what's his name again?

CAGE:
We'll need a vehicle

to get further inland.

What's the problem?

The ambush waiting for us. They kill

us before we find a working car.

Okay. So, what's the current plan?

Two cars we haven't tried yet.

- The minivan and the green SUV.

- Yeah. Okay.

I'll head for the SUV, draw the

mimics to me. You go for the minivan.

You get it started, just go,

take off. Do not wait for me.

Okay.

Just don't forget to disconnect

the caravan before you take off.

You are going to be in a hurry,

you don't want any dead weight.

[ENGINE SPUTTERING]

Come on.

[ENGINE STARTS]

Come on, Cage!

WOMAN [OVER RADIO]: ...casualties.

The enemy has breached security at Dover.

Can't see.

Can you?

WOMAN:

Stay where you are and remain calm.

If you are in a vehicle please

lock doors and stay inside.

I'm sorry. The enemy

has reached London.

Repeat:

London is under attack.

Good driving.

I forgot to unhook the trailer.

COMPUTER:
Engage.

You don't talk much.

I'm not a fan.

Of talking?

Not a fan of talking. No.

You know you eventually

do talk to me.

It's usually around Lyons.

You tell me about the time you

went there with your family.

Your brother got lost.

I've never been to Lyons.

You tell me your middle name.

Peyton.

That's not my middle name.

You find your brother in

the arcade, by the way.

RITA:
Well, maybe I made it

all up just to keep you quiet.

CAGE:
But you do talk to me.

RITA:
Cage, I do not

need to get to know you.

If you knew what was good for you,

you wouldn't want to get to know me.

It's the only way you make

it through this thing.

What about Hendricks?

You get to know him?

- How do you know that name?

- You mentioned him.

That's not possible.

Then how do I know his name?

When did I mention him?

Under what circumstance?

Is he why you won't talk to me?

Don't ever mention his name again.

- Why? Are you... in love with him?

- He's dead.

And I watched him die 300 times

and I remember every detail.

I remember everything.

So I don't need to talk about it.

I'm sorry.

It's just war.

[BEEPING]

There's nothing here.

Let's keep going.

We have to find the keys.

Let's just siphon the gas.

- Why drive when we can fly?

- In that thing?

- Let me guess. You're afraid of heights.

- I'm afraid of crashing.

And not at all ashamed to admit it.

You'll be fine, Cage.

You'll learn. Oh.

What is it?

It's nothing. I'm fine.

- What is it?

- It's nothing.

Rita.

Let me see.

[RITA GROANS]

We have to find the

keys to the helicopter.

I'm sure they're

around here somewhere.

You know, the heli's full of

fuel, though. I found a hose.

We're flying, Cage.

Let's just say we find

the keys. You know?

Get that helicopter started.

We don't have our

jackets or ammunition.

It's gonna be dark in a few hours.

Might be better off just

going back to the farmhouse.

Seeing what we could salvage.

Spend the night there.

Come back here in the morning.

And curl up by the fire and

open a bottle of wine.

[LAUGHS]

I think we should just reset.

Whoa!

It's a dead end. If it's all the

same to you I'm tired. I'm in pain.

- I'd rather just start fresh.

- Tell you what.

Take a few minutes. Coffee's ready.

I'll look for the keys.

That's productive.

- Ten minutes.

- Okay.

Then I'm killing you.

Fine.

I can't believe you found coffee.

Thank you.

Oh.

Sugar, right?

Yeah.

- Thank you.

- No, hold on. Three. You like three.

There's a shirt over there.

It should be your size.

How many times have we been here?

How many times?

Where are the keys?

- Where are the goddamn keys?

- Okay.

You can fly it, can't you?

No. Well, yes.

I mean, I can take off.

I'm still working on my landing.

What are we still doing here?

- You're wasting time!

- Rita, if you start that engine, you die.

This is as far as you go.

No matter what I do...

this is as far as you ever make it.

There's a mimic

buried 20 yards away.

It attacks when you

start the engine.

Get your weapon and get

in the helicopter, Cage.

There's more in the

field back there.

Only one of us ever makes it.

RITA:
Get in.

Only thing we haven't tried is you

walk away. Go to the farmhouse.

There's a cellar and there's food.

Wait there... till I get back.

You'll be safe.

I'm a soldier. I volunteered.

I'm not walking away.

You die here. Right here.

I can't save you.

And if I go on and kill

the Omega, you're dead.
