Elysium Page #5

Synopsis: In the year 2154, two classes of people exist: the very wealthy, who live on a pristine man-made space station called Elysium, and the rest, who live on an overpopulated, ruined Earth. Secretary Delacourt, a government official, will stop at nothing to enforce anti-immigration laws and preserve the luxurious lifestyle of the citizens of Elysium. That doesn't stop the people of Earth from trying to get in by any means they can. When unlucky Max is backed into a corner, he agrees to take on a daunting mission that, if successful, will not only save his life but could bring equality to these polarized worlds.

That's what I'm talking about.

We would control the system here.

We would be in charge.

We can change the course

of f***ing history here.

Back up, then.

What I have in my head

is worth a lot to them, right?

Don't do this.

If that falls into the wrong hands,

they could shut us out for good.

Listen, man,

I'm going up there right now.

Now, if you can find me and I'm healed,

you can have all of this.

- But I'm not f***ing dying.

- This is wrong, Max. Don't do this.

Don't shoot him. Don't shoot him.

Don't shoot him. Don't shoot him.

It's okay. It's okay.

I always wanted a wife.

I just couldn't quite settle down,

you know.

Too much temptation.

But you...

You make me ready to settle down.

You really make me wanna

settle down, baby.

Holy sh*t, sir.

- You better take a look at this.

- What? What is it?

Check this f***ing oke.

Turn us around.

- Drakey?

- Yes?

Open the door.

Stop right there!

You're gonna do exactly what I say

or I'm gonna blow my f***ing head off!

- You understand?

- Yeah.

You can have everything in my head!

Just take me up there

and get me in a med bay!

What I have is very valuable!

We can fix you up.

Put you in a med bay,

sort all this kak up.

Let's go. We'll take you up there.

Weather's nice. Air's nice and clean.

Lekker, you'll dig it.

Don't you f***ing try anything.

Step aboard. Come meet the boys.

Come, boet.

Don't be shy. They won't bite.

Let me introduce you. This is Drakey.

- This is Max.

- How is it, butch?

Close up, Drakey.

Copy that.

Crowe, let's go.

Yes, ma'am.

We apprehended the subject.

Open the skies, we're coming home.

I'll expect you in 19 minutes.

Cancel the no-fly zone.

Yes, ma'am.

What?

What is that? What is that?

Are we back?

- What the f*** is that? Are we back?

- We're back online, Spider.

Frey.

I'm sorry. I'm gonna make this right.

We've got him.

All right. Where is he?

He's leaving Earth,

heading to Elysium.

Manuel, Rico.

Get weapons. Let's get up there.

Echo Leader 234

requesting landing in Sector 22.

Roger that, Echo Leader M-234.

You are cleared for entry.

- I see you got the G-19.

- Hey, back the f*** up. Back the f*** up.

- Or what?

- I'll let it go.

What you gonna do, huh?

I want what's in your head, boykie.

Come on. Come on.

Legs! Grab his legs!

Grab the grenade!

Hold on!

Get down!

- What do you want us to do?

- I want everyone...

...coming out of that vehicle

apprehended by Homeland Security.

Evacuate everyone under Level 5

clearance out of the building now.

Matilda!

I warned you of this.

An unlicensed vehicle just crashed,

potentially threatening the torus.

All because of your inability to act.

Evacuate him.

- Get your hands off of me.

- This is an act of war.

That puts the CCB under my control.

Now, if you'd let me do my job...

...I'm sure you have

a fundraiser to attend.

Let's go, sir.

Why are you not answering me?

Max.

- Take me out of here, Max!

- Yeah. I'm trying!

Air quality reaching toxic levels.

Get me out of here.

It is recommended

you exit the craft immediately.

- Run!

- Come here, you f***er.

Two illegals heading northeast

in Zone 3.

You deal with those two.

I'll handle this poes.

Welcome to this spectacular property,

sprawling over...

Error.

- No.

- No citizen detected.

Please. She's sick. Help us.

She's gone into a coma. Please.

Shouldn't we remove this thing?

Can't, till we get all the data.

It's wired into him neurologically.

The data is intact, yes?

Data looks intact.

Warning.

We can still pull the data out of him,

which will kill him.

Oh, that's fine. How long before you can

download and turn the system online?

Not long, ma'am.

Keep everything in a restricted cloud.

Lock down all access.

Starting prep right now.

And get these two out of here.

Roger that.

Crowe, you wanna go get

the boss's chicks?

Yeah, boet.

Give them the runaround.

Keep them busy.

Got him.

Let's go.

All right, 50 exabytes, buddy.

You ready?

What are you taking out of him?

Hey. What are you doing to him?

What's gonna happen to him? Hey.

Rise and shine.

- Get up.

- Max.

Max. Max!

Max!

Get in there.

Away.

Boss got f***ed up, eh?

Ate that f***ing grenade, eh?

His brain is fine, but he's gonna

be pissed when he wakes up, eh?

Remember the kak that happened

in India when he lost his legs.

Kruger.

Hey, boss.

It's Crowe.

Where is he?

All right. We're all set.

Okay. Let's re-sedate him.

Got the needle prepped.

Here, you wanna grab this and then-

Grab the needle! Grab the needle!

Stick him with it!

- Where did they take the girls?

- The armory.

- Where the f*** is that?

- Level three.

Lethal radiation poisoning detected.

You require urgent medical attention.

You idiot.

Do you realize what you've done?

You crashed an unlicensed vehicle

into a suburban area.

Your orders were to keep this covert.

Do you even remember

what that means?

Have you completely lost your mind?

You're useless to me.

If the administration realized

what we're doing...

...they'd hang us both for treason.

For God's sake, Kruger,

are you listening to me?

Yes.

Yes, ma'am...

...I'm listening.

I'm sorry that we crashed the vehicle

and ruined someone's lawn.

But nobody is gonna hang us

for treason.

We do the hanging.

Put your hand on it.

Keep pressure on it.

Not so chirpy now, eh?

It's all right, boys. Elysium is about

to get its first proper president.

She needs some medical attention.

I was gonna heal your daughter.

But now I will make sure

that she is never healed.

Drakey, don't trust

any of these politicians.

- You clear out this whole building.

- Thank you, boss.

I'm gonna find that little gangster

and I'm gonna take what's in his head.

This place is mine now.

You wanna come to my f***ing house

and play? Let's play.

I'm going to annihilate

that little motherf***er.

I'm going to pulverize that little one.

Hey!

What the hell was that?

All members of CCB,

please go to the nearest exit...

...and proceed calmly to ground level.

- Move, move, move!

- Go, go, go!

No.

No more.

Citizen deceased.

Please exercise caution.

Illegals detected in multiple locations.

Emergency systems are now online.

Please follow indicated procedures.

Spider. Do you read me, Spider?

Max, where are you?

The thing in my head, it can make

everyone a citizen here, right?

- Yeah.

- You know how to get it out, right?

- Yes.

- You're sure?

Yeah, I'm sure.

Okay, listen carefully.

Armory selected.

Set.

Turn me on.

Okay.

- Crowe, get rid of those two.

- My pleasure, boss. My pleasure.

Where are you, boykie?

Where are you?

How is it, girl?

- Let's play.

- No.

- Come on. I'll be nice, I promise.

- No, please.

- Come on.

- Get off me.

- Want me to hurt the girl?

- No.

- Then come here.

- Please.

Oh, f***!

You f***er!

The only way out of here

is through me.

- Is she alive?

- For now.

Stay behind me.

I'm gonna get you out of here.
