Lockout

LANGRAL:
Again.

What happened

in that motel room?

Uh, it was coupon night

and I was trampolining

your wife.

You're a real comedian,

aren't you, Snow?

Well, I guess that's why

they call it the punch line.

You don't like me,

do you?

Don't flatter yourself.

I don't like anybody.

With that attitude

I can see why

nobody likes you.

Oh, come on.

People love me.

Just ask your wife.

What happened in that

room in New York?

What? What was the question?

What happened in that room?

(RINGING)

(PHONE CONTINUES RINGING)

Mace?

MACE:
Why do you

never answer your phone?

What the hell's going on?

Listen. You have

to get out, okay?

It's a double cross.

They're coming for you.

You have to get out now!

Yeah. Yeah, okay.

Who was the mystery man

on the phone?

His name was F*** You.

Really?

Yeah, he was Asian.

I don't like

hurting you, Snow.

(EXHALES)

ls that why

you're having him do it?

I can have Rupert

bludgeon you all night.

I'm being beaten up

by a guy called Rupert?

What happened

with the Colonel?

(CHUCKLES)

Sh*t.

Hey, buddy.

No, no, no, Frank.

You're gonna be fine.

Don't let them take this.

Yeah, okay.

Stay with me.

Come on,

you're gonna be okay.

Frank.

(HELICOPTER APPROACHING)

(GUNS COCKING)

Returning fire.

God, I hate heights.

(EXCLAIMS) Whoa!

(GROANS)

WOMAN:
Watch out!

(GROANS)

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

Mace!

Where are you?

Get to the subway,

Wilson platform 10.

And dump the phone!

They're using it to track you!

(GUNSHOTS)

(PEOPLE SCREAMING)

COP:
We have him now!

Don't move!

And that's when you showed up.

We had the Colonel

under surveillance.

He was selling secrets

about our space programs.

Well, that's interesting

because Frank told me

he was protecting them.

Did he tell you this before

or after you killed him?

Why would I kill him?

He was a friend of mine.

You're right.

That's not what happened.

I saw it with my own eyes.

Running out of jokes, are we?

You setting me up?

ls that what this is?

All we know is that

the Colonel arranged

for a meeting in that motel

and somehow,

you showed up

and killed him. Pop.

You know, this may come

as a surprise to you,

but Frank didn't trust

you guys any more,

so he asked me

to back him up.

He wanted someone

from outside the agency.

You know,

to protect the package.

Who was your backup guy?

Why do I get the feeling

not telling you

is the only thing

keeping him alive?

Hey, hey, hey, hey. Come on.

Come on, guys.

Play nice.

You mind?

No. He's all yours.

Get those off of him, please.

I can't tell if he's stupid

or a really good liar.

Either way, M.S. One

would have been good for him.

Guy's a tool. Nut?

Nah, I'm trying

to give them up.

I was sorry

to hear about Frank.

He was one of

the good guys.

Snow, you gotta

give me something.

Otherwise, I can't help you.

Tell me what I can

do to help, Snow.

Shoot Langral?

Anything else?

Can you pick me up something?

I can. What and where?

I don't know.

Last time I saw it,

it was on a train.

(LOCK CLICKS OPEN)

Hey, buddy. Hey!

(PEOPLE SCREAM)

Tell me who

the backup guy was.

You think

I'm gonna tell you that?

You'll go straight

to your boss.

Well, l guess

this conversation's over.

It's good to see you.

I need a PolCom Tag

and a trace on a name. Mace.

LANGRAL:
Mr. President.

Scott, come in.

This is just routine.

Won't take two seconds.

Thank you.

They check this damn thing

five times a year.

So, what have we got?

He claims he was set up.

Was he?

I saw him shoot Armstrong

with my own eyes, sir.

What a mess!

So what do you want us

to do about him?

I don't even want

to know. Just fix it.

We're pretty much done here.

I just need to see

the First Daughter.

Oh, Emilie has had

a change in schedule.

She's on

a humanitarian errand.

Is she even in Washington?

SECRETARY:

Well, not exactly.

MAN ON RADIO:
Ground control

to LM22, do you copy?

PILOT:
Loud and clear.

EMILIE:
It's amazing.

Is this your first time

in orbit?

No.

My father took me up

in the Hilton Orbital

after my mother passed.

Would you like a quick

briefing before we arrive?

Please. M.S. One has been a

very successful experiment

with the first 500 test cases

serving time without incident.

Once we open

for business properly,

we'll be able to rent space

to 500,000 prisoners

and counting,

with all countries signed up.

All overseen by the

United States of America.

Which is why I'm here.

M.S. One is the only

Supermax facility in existence

where there is no physical

or sexual abuse,

breakouts or riots.

Because you put

the prisoners to sleep?

It's called stasis.

Of course, but there are a few

issues with stasis, are there not?

Aggression due to

damage of the cortex,

dementia, psychosis.

BARNES:

Well, you know the press.

Good news doesn't sell.

Those were early

teething problems.

The U.S. has absolutely

nothing to worry about.

AUTOMATED VOICE:
You are

entering United States airspace.

We're approaching.

Would you like to see it? I'd love to.

AUTOMATED VOICE:

This is penal area M. S. One.

446 requesting

identification code.

MAN ON RADIO:
LM22,

we need your coordinates...

The defense system

is automatic

and solar assisted,

oxygen-fed, auto lock,

made by Milland AeroSpace.

WOMAN ON RADIO:
LM22,

please transmit clearance.

What are they doing?

Parts of M.S. One

are still under construction

and need constant maintenance.

WOMAN ON RADIO:
LM22,

you are on final approach.

Maintain your current

speed and heading.

Can everyone please sign in?

GUARD:
How are you, sir?

There are just a few

basic precautions here.

Won't take long.

Thanks, Sam.

Can I get my holster?

SAM:
There you go, sir.

Please, keep your radiation

tags on you at all times.

In the event of a problem,

they will beep

and flash yellow.

Would you please take the

elevator to the third floor?

Mr. Barnes, isn't

M.S. One's true purpose

to test the effects of deep

space exploration on humans?

Who better than guinea

pigs with no rights?

I've heard that urban legend.

Look, Ms. Warnock,

these men aren't

traffic offenders.

They've done some pretty

awful things to get in here.

Of course.

But is it purely coincidental

that one of the main

sources of funding

is a deep space

exploration company?

Surely you don't think

they're paying out

millions of dollars

to be civically minded?

Ms. Warnock, I'm just

an old prison warden.

I couldn't speculate

on the motives of

global corporations.

Anyway,

isn't Milland AeroSpace

the largest contributor

to your charity group?

But one thing doesn't have

to do with the other.

Right?

Sure it doesn't.

We're going to

put on a little show.

You'll get to meet

a couple of convicts

and have a scary story

to tell your friends.

And let's just hope

that when you sign off

on this place,

we can all get back

to making the world

a better place.

After you, ma'am.

This is General Population.
