Jason X Page #16

DELONGPRE:

DELONGPRE:

Done!

Delongpre lifts his welder's mask to call to the others when he sees

JASON.

DELONGPRE:

Sh*t, hurry!

OUR HEROES:

Run toward the door. But, Thorgan stops.

BOEMAN:

What...?

Thorgan turns, runs back toward Jason.

BOEMAN:

What are you doing?!!

Thorgan is running to retrieve Kay-Em 14's head. It lies between he and

Jason.

He'll never make it! Thorgan hits the floor, slides and scoops up the

head.

KAY-EM 14

I think I'm going to throw up...

BUT IT'S TOO LATE.

Jason raises his machete from his belt and --

RIZZO(O.S.)

Hey, d*ckhead!

JASON TURNS AS --

KA-CHUNG!!!! Rizzo nails him with a metal ar.

RIZZO:

(to Thorgan)

Go!

Jason stumbles backwards then whirls on Rizzo.

RIZZO:

Oh, yeah, you remember me.

He sure does.

She turnsa dn runs.

ANOTHER ANGLE:

As the others race into the engien room they turn to watch.

BOEMAN:

Hurry!

DELONGPRE:

Faster! Don't we have another gun?

Rizzo catches up to Thorgan but they have a long way to go

and Jason is gaining.

JANESSA:

They're not gonna make it. Close the door

before he gets us all.

DELONGPRE:

They'll make it.

JANESSA:

Close the f***ing door!

DELONGPRE:

NO!

JANESSA leaps forward and hits the switch. The door begins sliding

slowly shut.

DELONGPRE:

Damnit!

Boeman hits the button again.

DELONGPRE:

(glares at Janessa)

Forget it. I had to rewire it.

Once it's started it won't stop.

ANOTHER ANGLE:

JASON:

TWENTY PACES BEHIND

INT. ENGINE ROOM

DELONGPRE:

Get ready to blow it.

Rizzo dives, slides under the closing door.

Thorgan follows her lead, but his slide doesn't have the same force. He

stops with the door

coming down on his lower back.

Luckily, Delongpre snatches his arms and yanks him through.

The door closes!

DELONGPRE:

Now!

Boeman turns the switch.

INT. MIDSHIP WALK WAY

The charges BLOW! A FIREBALL rushes toward the running JASON!

INT. ENGINE ROOM

CLOSE ON DOOR:

AS KA-FWAM!!!

JASON'S BODY IMPRINTS IN THE NOW SEALED DOOR.

EXT. GRENDEL

The walkway explodes, severing Grendel into two separate hulls.

The left damaged hull, sinks out of view as the engine side begins

to pull away. Then --

KA-FOOM!!

Grendel's LEFT HULL finallay EXPLODES!! They barely amde it.

INT. ENGINE ROOM

The right hull BUCKS from the force of the blast. Our heroes are

aireborne for a moment

then crash to the floor.

BRODSKI:

Damage?

Boeman climbs to a console.

BOEMAN:

Minimal.

RIZZO:

We made it?

DELONGPRE:

I think...I think maybe we did.

CHEERS:

Thorgan looks into Kay-Em 14's severed head.

THORGAN:

Kay-Em we made it!

KAY-EM 14

Oh, goody. I'm so pleased.

I'd clap if I could.

Boeman CLICKS on a console keyboard.

BOEMAN:

I've changed the course for Earth II.

And I sent a distress signal.

VOICE(V.O.)

Roger, Grendel. What's the problem?

BOEMAN:

(into mike)

Our ship has been damaged, most of

the crew dead. We need evac.

VOICE:

Copy that Grendel. Rescue enroute.

You should hit EARTH II orbit in fifteen

minutes. Rescue ETA twenty minutes.

CHEERS!

BOEMAN:

We're going home people.

More CHEERS.

Rizzo turns to find Delonpre staring at her.

DELONGPRE:

(big smile)

See? We're not so bad.

RIZZO:

Not so bad.

There's that moment when we think the two might kiss. She takes a step

toward him. Yes, they are going to kiss --

BOOM!

WARNING LIGHTS. WARNING ALARMS. The sound of SUCKING WIND. AS JASON,

still very alive shoves his fist through the imprinted door with his

metal hand!

As he rips a bigger hole to gain entrance our heroes are fighting to

hold

on to anything.

The Hole is sucking everything not tied down out into space.

Boeman is the first to reach the reactor room door.

BOEMAN:

This way!

He pulls Sergeant Brodski through the door as --

JASON:

Fights his way through the opening in the hull.

The engines BUCK and begin to SMOKE.

BOEMAN:

The pressures cause the engines to overheat!

Hurry!

Delongpre helps Rizzo and Thorgan to safety.

Janessa crawls across the floor digging her fingers into the steel mesh.

SERGEANT BRODKSI

Lying in the door's threshold reaches out and snags her hand.

JANESSA:

Pull me in!

BRODSKI:

I'm pulling, damnit!

But Jason grabs Janessa's ankle and jerks. She's pulled from the

Sergeant's

grasp.

She flops around in the sucking wind as Jason watches. He lets go.

She flies toward the hole, slams into it.

Everything goes quiet for a moment. As he body has sealed the hole then

--

SHHHHHHHHOOOOOK!

She's sucked into space in a most grotesque manner.

ANOTHER ANGLE:

BRODSKI:

Well, that's a shame.

INT. REACTOR CORE

Hug cylindrical machines run the length of this enormous room.

They HUM quietly as our group enters.

BRODSKI:

We need weapons.

RIZZO:

Weapons? All this technology and

what good has it done?!

DELONGPRE:

It bought us some time.

BOEMAN:

And now we're all out of it.

Everyone stares at Boeman. He's standing at another console.

BOEMAN:

The ship's depressurizing, the engines

overheating. When it reaches the core,

we're done.

RIZZO:

Done?

THORGAN:

Kaboom.

DELONGPRE:

Again?! Jesus!

RIZZO:

Why am I not surprised?

Thorgan still clutches Kay-Em 14's severed head.

KAY-EM 14

You must shut down the engines.

DELONGPRE:

Then do it. The rescue ship can

find us here right?

BRODSKI:

Can't shut em' down from here.

BOEMAN:

Somebody's gonna have to go back

to the engine room.

DELONGPRE:

You ain't catching my ass in there again.

Brodski, still bleeding, pale, struggling to stand --

BRODSKI:

I'll go.

The kids give him the "are you crazy?" stare.

BOEMAN:

You're too weak. I'll go.

KA-FWAM! Everyone jumps but this time it's only Rizzo. She broke a metal

stand and has

yanked one of the legs free.

RIZZO:

You know, this future sh*t sucks.

I'll f***ing do it.

DELONGPRE:

You?

RIZZO:

(mumbling)

Wait around on your asses all day.

(turns to Thorgan)

I'll need a distraction.

THORGAN:

What kind of a distraction?

INT. ENGINE ROOM

JASON is pounding on the reactor room door. A difficult act with the

continued pressure

trying to suck him into space.

THEN:

RIZZO:

HEY!

Jason turns to find Rizzo standing in the doorway behind him.

RIZZO:

You want some of me?

Jason whirls around and lurches toward her clinging to machinery as he

goes.

INT. ENGINE ROOM CORRIDOR

Rizzo backs slowly as Jason closes in.

As he reaches the corridor, she turns and runs.

RIZZO:

RIZZO:

Come on, keep up.

Jason barrels toward her.

RIZZO:

You want some of me or not?

She stops at a door, but doesn't attmept ot open it.

Jason comes closer..and closeer...but Rizzo doesn't move --

Jason moves in for the kill, raises his machete, and --

RIZZO:

Take your best shot --

SLASH!

RIZZO'S CHEST IS SPLIT OPEN!

RIZZO:

(laughs)

I'm melting! I'm melting!

SLASH! Her arm falls to the ground!

RIZZO:

See now that was stupid.

Persistent, yes, but stupid.

Jason shoves his fist, through her chest and into the wall.

RIZZO:

Not this time, a**hole. This time

I'm gonna watch you burn in hell.

INT. ENGINE ROOM - CONTINUOUS

The real RIZZO rips off her virtual reality helmet.
