Leviathan Page #19

Cobb backs slowly down the corridor toward the dorm.

UPPER RING CORRIDOR - SAME

Jones meets Beck and Doc leaving the control room.

JONES:

It's got Hazy!

BECK:

What has?

JONES:

One of those chunks of

Sixpack! Like a big leech,

with those teeth!...

DOC:

We've got to get him to the

infirmary.

JONES:

What are you going to do to

him?

DOC:

I'm going to try to remove it.

JONES:

I've got Cobbie downstairs

watching the door.

INT. LOWER RING CORRIDOR - SAME

Deserted. There is no sign of Cobb and the door to the mess

stands open. The mess is empty. Beck is the first one down

the ladder followed by Jones.

JONES:

Cobb? Hazy? Oh, sh*t...He's

gone...

Cobb returns with a mining tool.

JONES:

You let him get away!

COBB:

I ain't doing nothing for that

thing without something to

defend myself.

JONES:

That thing happens to be

my friend.

BECK:

Shut up, both of you! We've

got to find it.

Beck suddenly looks around noticing something.

BECK(cont'd)

Where's Willie?

COBB:

Oh, God, she's out there...

BECK:

Jones...come with me. Cobb,

you and Doc check the rooms.

INT. THE LOWER "B" CORRIDOR - SAME

Jones and Beck move down the spooky corridor toward the

Swamp. Overhead, water moves through the desalinization

conduit. Jones eyes it warily.

SWAMP:

They enter the quiet Swamp. The suits hang silently like

sleeping monsters. Beck steps into the equipment room.

Jones walks along the suits which hang in front of him.

Their empty masks stare at him hauntingly. He reaches the

end and stands in front of the ladder where we earlier saw

Willie doing chin-ups. He looks down and sees her headband

floating in the bilgewater.

JONES:

Willie...

Suddenly Willie lowers herself from the bar behind him.

WILLIE:

Yeah?

The sudden sight of her nearly gives Jones heart failure, he

stumbles backwards into the ankle deep water and Willie

drops from the bar laughing.

WILLIE:

(grinning)

What on earth's the matter

with you?

JONES:

I ought to smack your face!

Willie picks up the strain in Jones' voice, her smile fades.

WILLIE:

What's wrong?

JONES:

DeJesus...It's got him.

THE EQUIPMENT ROOM - SAME

Jones, Willie and Beck move quickly. Beck pulls a portable

laser drill which fits into the arm of the mechanical suits

and attaches a portable power unit to the back. Turning it

on it becomes a sinister close-range weapon.

Willie opens an equipment cabinet and reveals deflated

container transporters. Beck notices and then looks up at

Jones who opens a locked cabinet and takes out the bicycle

pump/earthquake device we saw Willie use earlier.

BECK:

I thought they were your friends?

JONES:

Were, Doss were.

Beck reaches out and takes the powerful weapon away from

him.

BECK:

You fire that in here and

you'll bring the whole place

down.

Jones thinks about it for a moment, then reaches for one of

the Acetylene tanks. He lights the end of it and a long

blue tongue of flame whips out the door into the Swamp.

Jones grins.

INFIRMARY - SAME

Doc and Cobb move into the Infirmary. Doc goes into his

office. He takes three scalpels out of an equipment drawer

and then looks up, through the levolor blinds into the

infirmary. What he sees upsets him.

INT. SWAMP - SAME

Jones working the intercom.

JONES:

(to intercom)

Jones to Doc. Doc?...Cobb?

He looks back to Beck, concerned.

JONES(cont'd)

(to Beck)

Think it got 'em?

BECK:

No, it's not going through.

The intercom's busted. I thought

DeJesus fixed that?

JONES:

(beat, realizing)

He did.

INFIRMARY - SAME

Doc leaves his office and slowly goes into the Infirmary to

the storage counter across the room--where the blood is

stored. WE SEE what disturbed him...the door to the

refrigeration unit is ajar. Doc opens the door to the

cabinet. The plastic bags are now empty. Each one has been

drained.

LOWER RING CORRIDOR - SAME

Cobb moves out of the Infirmary, carefully down the eerie

corridor, his mining tool in front of him for security.

There is a sinister feel to the place. Each step only

reveals a little bit of space ahead of him. Suddenly he

stops. In front of him across the hall a cabinet which

says:
ONBOARD COMMUNICATIONS, is torn open. It is where

DeJesus fixed the intercom the day before.

CLOSE ON THE CABINET

The door is shattered. Carefully, Cobb opens the door and

WE SEE the guts of the wiring have been torn out--the entire

system has been disabled.

Cobb carefully examines the damage WHEN SUDDENLY A SCALY

HAND-LIKE APPENDAGE slams into the cabinet door trapping

COBB and sending his weapon to the floor. Cobb turns

directly into

THE LEECH-LIKE MOUTH! It's sharp teeth shine in the light,

poised to strike.

Cobb's eyes closed, screams like a maniac, waiting for the

tentacle to attack. Then suddenly an UNGODLY SCREAM echoes

in the corridor.
