Nine Miles Down Page #3

So that's where you've been hiding.

Beautiful, isn't it?

Yeah.

I should've brought my camera.

Love the way the light

turns in the Sahara.

while the air smells of sunset.

- I don't smell anything special.

- You don't know what you're missing.

You know

when I was a young boy...

... my mother told me that the sun,

was driven around the world

in a chariot roomed

by four horses.

And the wizards sprinkled the

stars on the roof of the skies.

My mom told me, the sun is one

of a hundred billion in the galaxy.

Which is one of a hundred billion

in the universe.

and that some starlight has traveled

since before dinosaurs roam here.

And made its journey...

Right here...

Right now.

That's not a mystery,

that's a fact.

Oh, don't you think that's

fancy, little clinical...

... unemotional?

I mean...

The math takes away the poetry...

sensiblehood.

Not from me. Science only adds

to the wonder of a sunset

... and everything else in the world.

I don't see how it can take away.

What about love?...

Jealousy?

- Phenethylamin.

- Phene... what?

A chemical the brain produces

when you fall in love.

And there's Dopamin

and Norephinephrine...

So the greatest of all human emotions

can be broken down to...

... chemical compound?

The greatest music on Earth can be reduced

to notes on paper...

... but I can still be moved by it.

- Smile.

- Hey! What are you doing?

Delete it.

I wasn't ready.

Oh, if you delete it,

I'm afraid, I'm gonna have to shoot you.

What?

Take two!

Well, it shall live this time.

Make me a copy.

There's a printer in the lab.

What are we drinking with dinner?

You wouldn't have a

Chateau Expensi around here, would you?

Why don't you try Borman's office

while I freshen up.

He kept a few nice bottles in

in his bookshelf.

Sue?

What?

Don't you like it?

It's for embassy cocktail receptions.

I don't get to wear it much.

Yes, it's beautiful.

- Are you alright?

- I...

You left the light on.

- Silly me. You hungry?

- Starving.

- I can do more than study rocks.

- Evidently!

Philosophy, Geology, Psychology...?

on top of it, you are beautiful.

Close your eyes.

I have something for you.

- What are you doing?

- Keep em close...

I know it's a little early...

but Happy Birthday!

It's on your ID.

Jack?

I used to think hell was in your head

and heaven in your heart.

Just looks like it's the other way around.

You wanna tell me about it?

About her.

You don't miss much, do you?

We we're married, six years.

With twins.

Ben and Anna.

She was unhappy,

I just didn't know how...

- ... unhappy until she left.

- I thought you said she passed away?

She committed suicide.

Oh, God...

It was my fault.

I'm so wrapped up on my craft.

- I failed her.

- That's no reason for her to...

She thought that

I was having an affair.

Oh God... Jack...

It was my 35th birthday.

Sue and the kids arranged a

surprise birthday party.

I haven't been in the house

for two minutes...

... when the bloody pager went off

and I was back out the door again.

Daddy...

Some part of me...

... that some lived on you...

I swear I had this feeling...

... I was sicker than my life.

And for the last time..

but I just kept walking towards that door.

I could've saved my family but

I didn't listen to my gut instinct.

And I remained Jack the Cop!

Logical, rational!

You're being too hard

on yourself, Jack.

I'm sorry.

I don't mean to sound insensitive...

... but I've seen what can happen

when people abandoned reason.

You could get seriously hurt.

You're a good man.

There's no point in having

to take armor on the outside...

... if your own worst enemy's within.

Thank you.

- Thank you.

- What for?

I like you.., and I haven't

felt that in a long time.

Oh, Tom...

Don't call me that.

Okay?

Stop it, stop it.

What is it?

I can't do this.

I'm sorry.

Susan?

JC?

Relax.

Put her out of your mind.

Take it off.

Hello Tom.

No!

Susan!

Did you enjoy f***ing her?

JC?

It's okay, Jack.

It's just me, Jack...

You're dreaming, Jack.

Wake up.

You're sleepwalking.

- What?

- Whatever you saw, Jack.

It wasn't real.

It's okay.

It's okay.

Try and get some sleep.

Daddy...

Ben?

I Love You

You.

Mobile 4 to Khamsinia Base.

Come in.

Khamsinia Base to Mobile 4.

Base, come in, do you read?

Khamsinia Base.

Is that you, Jack?

Look Alex, I need some armed support

up here right now.

- It's 5 o'clock in the morning!

- I don't care. You don't argue with me.

You just bloody do it.

Call in the army, after.

I want armed support here now

you understand?

- Do you copy me?

- Okay, okay, I got it.

Good. Out.

Daddy, I'm up here!

Daddy!

- May I join you... God, Jack!

- No!

It was you!

You killed them!

Jack! Please stop.

No...

JC?

What have I done?

JC?

JC?

JC?

Jack!

What did the crew stuffed here,

before you finished them up, JC?

That's why you didn't want me to go

to the crust pit, isn't it?

- Those are animal carcasses, Jack.

- Were we close?

- I don't know who will find this tape...

- I'm thinking that we could both go together.

- ... and make it that easy for you...

... greatest of danger

I cannot describe what we're

on against.

But I'm afraid, none will

go out here alive.

Seems we have released something

from nine miles down.

Something of unspeakable evil and cunning.

- Jack!

Taking all form.

Something disarming and unemotional.

Don't let his trance mislead you, Jack.

Behind these lies and deception.

It will trick you.

But don't be distracted by the spectacles...

Even pain leading us to..

It protest all abilities of techie trap.

I came here about you.

All cunning, the lies that

wash the consequences..

It will try to win your trust,

and before dashing your hopes..

- You're lying.

- It will trick you.

- You're lying!

- It will confuse you more.

- Show no fear.

- Base to Mobile 4.

And build on it the time is against you!

whatever it is,

it's going to drive the lives...

- Stay away from the radio!

- Jack! What are you doing?

Resist.

Resist the devil.

I know who you are now!

- Dr. Christianson?

- He's shooting at me!

- Dr. Ivanov has gone mad.

He's got some sample of this pure evil.

He proposes to carry out experiments...

- Remain calm, we'll get you out of there...

- I'm trying!

but he thinks I'm some kind of devil or something.

Kat, don't you listen to her!

Jack, we have to leave!

We got to get out of here now!

Don't listen to its lies. Never do what

it tells you for you will obeying the devil itself.

We have news!

The gas from Ivanov's sample, it's toxic!

- Resist.

- Lies!

Jack, we have to leave.

It's dangerous!

Dr. Christianson?

and may God be with us all.

Did you think you can get rid of me?

You know it's not good without the evil, Jack.

No darkness, without light.

They define each other.

See?

You wanna shoot me?

It'll make no difference...

No difference at all, Jack.

Ja...

No, Jack, don't!

No!

Daddy...

Daddy...

Daddy...!
