Lockout Page #3

Synopsis: In 2079, in Washington, the ex-CIA Operative Snow is brutally interrogated, accused of treason against the United States. The chief of the secret service Scott Langral believes that he shot the agent Frank in a hotel room. Meanwhile, the idealistic daughter of the president of the USA, Emilie Warnock, is visiting MS One, a maximum security prison in outer space expecting to find evidence that the prisoners are actually guinea pigs of a huge corporation. When one of her bodyguards loses a hidden pistol to the dangerous prisoner Hydell, he subdues the staff in the central control room and releases the prisoners, including his brother Alex who becomes the leader of the riot. Now the veteran agent Harry Shaw offers freedom to Snow if he succeeds in rescuing the president's daughter. But the idealistic Emilie does not want to leave MS-One without the hostages.

That's enough!

I gotta get out of here.

That's okay.

You go to sleep now.

Anyone else?

I'm gonna need a doctor

to get this stitched up.

(SIGHS) Thank you.

Hey, lab coat.

You, move! Doc, let's go.

Hey, wait,

she's not a doctor.

Easy there,

tough guy. Easy.

Okay. Let's go. Get your ass up.

Get your ass up.

Stitch it up.

DUKE:
Hey, wait a second.

What the hell is

going on here?

We're taking over.

And who are you?

Secret Service.

I didn't hear

anything about this.

That will be why

they call it secret, right?

What's happening?

They demanded a negotiator.

He's prepping now.

They've been leaving

a live feed open.

This is Special

Agent Scott Langral

and I'm in charge

of this situation.

(SCOFFS)

In charge?

That's where you're

very much mistaken.

So there she is.

Right in the hornet's nest.

Let me know when you've

picked up on it, won't you?

When I want your opinion,

I'm gonna give it to you.

Okay.

Hey.

Picked up on what?

Oh, nothing. You know,

just that they don't know they've got

the President's daughter, that's all.

So,

do you like working in space?

Yeah, I like it.

You do? Do you get dizzy?

Yeah, sometimes.

Sometimes?

Yeah, I would.

Hey, Snow.

How do you figure that out?

Far be it from me to teach

you how to suck eggs,

but you'd think they

might have said something.

And they've got

her playing doctor.

I'm just saying.

Ladies and gentlemen,

can I have your attention?

We've prepared

a little demonstration.

(GROANING)

Barnes? Hello, Barnes?

Gotta make sure, man.

Let me find...

Listen, if you're

gonna sh*t yourself

now would be the

perfect time, wouldn't it?

Go on, boys.

No. No!

Here we go.

Reality TV.

No! No!

HYDELL:
Oh, no!

No,no,no,no.

BARNES:
I can help you!

Can you help me?

I can help you!

You're gonna

need the help, boyo.

It's a bit chilly

out there tonight.

Don't do this.

Don't do this. Wait!

Wait! I can help you!

Wait!

Bye-bye, Barnes.

Bye-bye, Barnes.

No, I can help.

Wait! The girl!

What about her?

The girl! The girl!

She's the President's...

Yep.

(SCREAMS)

Oh, man! Did you see

the look on his face?

He was about to say something.

He was about to say something like...

(MIMICS SCREAMING)

Oh.

Okay.

The clock is reset.

One hour and counting

until the next show,

so I'd get my skates on

if I were you.

Hey, tell me you

are not still thinking

of negotiating

with these psychos.

This is all over

the news in six hours.

Then they're going

to know who she is.

We should just

stick to the plan.

The plan? You can send

your boy in if you want.

I'm just doing what's best

for the situation right now.

Right?

Thank you.

I'm happy not to go.

You're going.

Okay.

Go now.

All right.

Hey, easy, easy, big guy...

It's all right. It's okay.

It's okay, easy.

Things you asked for

are on the way.

Is everybody okay?

For the time being, sure.

We're doing our bit.

I was wondering, what are

you going to do for us?

Don't tell me,

you're looking for a hostage.

That certainly

would be a good start.

Hey, four eyes.

Ain't no one leaving, man.

No. You hear me? No.

Can I talk to you

privately for a minute?

If this works I'll wear

a tutu and pink pantyhose.

Snow, let's be ready, okay?

Okay.

This thing is contained

right now.

But you keep blasting

people out the airlock,

the press gets involved

and all bets are off

and nobody goes anywhere.

Now, you look

like a smart guy,

so I'm gonna let you in

on a little secret.

They're going to let you go.

But you really think they're

gonna let 500 convicts go?

You, maybe five or six others,

can get out of here.

It's what we call breakage.

Why should I give up

a hostage?

You know why they really ask

for a hostage, don't you?

Because it tells them

one important thing.

This guy is in charge here.

Maybe you're not the guy who

makes decisions around here.

Don't go there.

I'm definitely the man

you should be talking to.

Okay, all right.

Show me you're in charge then.

Give me a hostage.

Can I trust you?

You can trust me.

Let's hold on.

This stuffed shirt

may well pull this off.

SNOW:
Oh, Jesus! Coming,

going. Make up your minds.

One hostage?

One.

Who do you want? Whoever.

Usually one of the wounded,

or, I don't know,

maybe a woman.

A wounded woman's

always popular.

Okay, we got eight principals,

four low-vel riot shotguns,

three Berettas, low-vel semis.

You choose.

Up. Get up.

Why me?

Get up.

Honey, you'll be fine.

Looks like my plan is working.

Sorry.

What's going on here?

Not her. Not her.

No, no, no, no. Not her.

A decision's been made.

Please, man. Not her.

Not that one, no.

Pick another one.

Crawl back under your stone.

(HISSES)

Don't say that.

This woman needs

medical assistance. Come on.

I didn't realize. I forget.

I just let myself run away

with myself, you know.

You want a wounded hostage?

No!

Back off.

Go see to your friends, Cock.

(GROANS)

No.

You wanted

a wounded hostage

and now you have

one, don't you? Eh?

Everybody's happy.

Everybody wins. Eh?

You're happy. Yeah?

Kathryn, it's gonna be okay.

Snow, it's gone bad.

You gotta get in there,

man. Get in there.

Kathryn, we're gonna

get you home, okay?

Kathryn.

INMATE:
It's a setup.

There's some guy

outside climbing on board.

EMILIE:
Kathryn, I just need

you to breathe with me.

Listen, I was just doing

what I was supposed...

Kathryn.

Kathryn, look at me.

I really... I... Please...

You said I could trust you.

Listen, I was just gonna...

Please.

ALEX:
Bring them back inside.

(SOBBING)

HOCK:
Come on,

Emilie, let's go.

Come on now.

Do something useful.

Go find that man

and kill him.

I don't wanna see you

till it's done.

Why don't we just

kill that lunatic?

Because he's my brother.

Okay. Hold on,

nearly there. Okay, got it.

You need to look around

and you should see

a sealed port.

You got it?

SNOW:
Yeah, I see it

Okay. I need you to pull back

on the small quick release.

Right.

Are you in?

Snow.

Snow?

Snow, can you hear me?

Warnock?

There you are.

(GASPS)

(EXPLOSION)

(GROANS)

Come on.

Wait, wait, wait. This way.

(PANTING)

(BEEPING)

We'll be safe here.

Nothing getting through that.

So what now?

We wait.

They're sending the Marines.

It won't be long.

Snow, what's going on?

(SIGHS), Uh, you know,

global warming,

some celebrity

is getting a boob-job,

Congress is screwing

the pooch again.

You know, same old.

Snow.

Come on, man. I mean,

what's going on there?

Oh, yeah. Well,

your wildcat smacked me in the

head with a fire extinguisher

and locked herself

in some room.

So she's safe.

Send the cavalry.

Listen, Snow.

You stick to the plan.

You better do your job

or I'll hit you with

a Sherman tank. Got that?

(PANTING) A Sherman tank?

Yeah, right.

Toss my caber, Langral.

I've got other things to do.

Hey, Snow...

ALEX:
The answer

to all our problems

lies behind this door.

Get me a security engineer.

Actually,
