Elysium Page #6

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.

I have a plan.

You hear that sound?

That's the sound of me coming for you.

I will find you! I will hunt you down!

- Okay, Frey, we have to split up.

- What?

Listen. You're gonna go to

the surface, okay? Take this.

All right. Find a house.

Get her to a med bay.

- It won't work.

- Don't stop for anybody.

- She doesn't have an ID. It doesn't work.

- It will this time. I know how to fix it.

- Surface selected.

- Go.

- Come with me.

- I'm right behind you.

- No.

- I promise.

Okay. A mother and a daughter

just went up in that elevator right there.

They're going to the surface,

headed for a med bay.

Send one of your guys, make sure

they get there, and we have our deal.

All right.

Right to a med bay, man.

- Let's go.

- Let's go!

- Go, go, go.

- This way. Come on.

- Come on. This way.

- Hurry up, man.

Emergency lockdown initiated.

Almost there. Almost there.

Pull it out! It's just a flesh wound, boet.

That's what I'm talking about.

- Fire has been detected. All affected...

- Open the door. Open the door.

...areas will be shut down.

- Come on, come on.

- I got it. Go, go, go.

Let's go.

F***ing door, come on. Go.

You first, come on.

Emergency lockdown initiated.

- Please stand clear of all exits.

- Come on.

Get up. Get up.

Come on, let's go. Stand up.

Come on. Stand up.

Stand up. Come on.

Come on. Stand up.

Hey-

You little f***er.

I'm gonna take your f***ing head off.

You should definitely stand up now!

Stay there.

F***.

Okay.

- You think you can get through me?

- Come on, Max! Come on!

I'm just getting started.

Come on.

Don't give up now. Get up. Come.

Come on, you've got

more than that. I know you.

You look a little bit dizzy, eh?

Did I get you? Are you bleeding?

You must get that looked at.

Eh, boykie?

You wanna heal that little girl?

You just need to come through me.

You've got some fire in you, boykie.

You almost had me.

We die together, boykie.

Okay. Okay.

Okay. Come on, man. Let's go.

Let's go, man. Let's do it. Come on.

Okay. Let's go.

Get the door!

Come on.

All right. Let's do it.

All right.

Okay, we're good. We're good.

We're good.

What?

Max?

It's okay. I know.

There's no coming back from this.

No med bay can heal you.

All right. Give it to me.

Take it.

Okay. You just have to

press that button.

Frey.

Max? Max, where are you?

I'm gonna have to break my promise.

I can't make it back up there.

You remember what I said

when we were kids?

Yes.

- I'll take us there one day.

- Really?

Yeah, I promise.

You wouldn't believe

what I'm looking at now.

Tell Matilda I really liked her story.

And I...

I figured out why the hippo did it.

Come on.

You first. Come on.

Everyone has one special thing, Max.

One thing that they are destined to do.

One thing they were born for.

- Neutralize him.

- F*** you!

Let go of me.

Come on.

Hey, Chiquita.

Hey-

Stand down, officers.

- Arrest him!

- I cannot arrest a citizen of Elysium.

- What?

- You did a great job.

Guess who Elysium belongs to now.

You see how beautiful it looks to us

from here?

Now look how beautiful

we look from there.

This is yours now.

To never forget about

where you come from.

My little Max.
