Oblivion Page #2

It's that we are

so close to the end,

and the last thing that we need

is you putting it all at risk.

Okay.

Every day,

you have to go down there

and see what was lost.

But we've done our job, Jack.

It's time to go.

I don't think they were

trying to kill me today.

The scavs.

They were trying to catch me.

Well, they can't have you.

Come on.

You should come with me

sometime, before we leave.

There's a place I found

I'd like to show you.

I'll show you something.

Hey, hev!

Oh, my God.

VICTORIA:
It was a six-stage meltdown

from inside the hydro rig's core.

It's offline permanently.

SALLY:
Tower 49, you have put

the whole operation at risk.

I need to know

exactly what happened.

VICTORIA:
Jack believes the scavs

weaponized one of the stolen fuel cells

and got it into the suction.

SALLY 1 Tower, hold.

Tower, I've got a rogue signal in Grid 37.

Are you seeing this?

Yes.

JACK:
It's gotta be scav.

It's not one of ours.

Jack, the signal is

being directed off-planet.

On my Way-

Tower, our logs show you are missing

an additional nine fuel cells.

- Can you confirm?

- Negative, Mission, that number is 10.

Drone 172 was lost last night.

109 is combat-ready as soon

as we get that shielding.

We can cover the remaining

rigs with drones in the field.

I've run the numbers.

We'll do the numbers up here,

Tower.

I'm tasking the drones

to defensive positions.

Our job is to run those rigs. Your

directive is to protect them.

We cannot afford to lose another.

Do you copy?

- Are you and Jack an effective team?

- Damn right we are.

Jack?

You're right on top of it.

Do you have a visual?

Jack?

Yeah, I got it.

They have some kind

of a repeater.

The scavs are using

the building as an antenna.

Can you decrypt?

It's a set of coordinates.

Grid 17.

It's a goddamn homing beacon.

Grid 17.

What the hell is out there?

Nothing.

It's the middle of nowhere.

What is going on?

Why would the scavs send

a signal off-planet, Jack?

I'm shutting it down.

Tech-49, check your course. You're

headed right for the border.

That radiation will cook you from

the inside before you know it.

It's okay, Vika. I see it.

I'm gonna do a perimeter check

before I head home.

I may go off-comm.

Jack,

we should keep in contact.

Just let me know where you are.

Do you COPY?

Jack, do you copy?

That's right, Bob.

You know where we're going.

Are you gonna miss me?

I'm gonna miss this place.

It would have been great.

It would have been great.

JACK:
-Vika? Vika, did you get that?

VICTORIA:
-Jack, where have you been?

- An object came down in 17.

- That's the beacon coordinates.

Exactly.

I saw it. - Some sort of vessel.

- Jack, Mission's almost offline.

I'm en route now.

Mission, we have an unidentified

object impact in 17.

It came down at coordinates

sent by a scav beacon.

- My tech's en route now.

- Tower, we're going offline soon,...

...but drones are already

mobile and executing.

Have your tech stand down.

Jack, Mission wants you to stand down.

The drones will handle it.

JACK:
That's a negative, Tower.

With Tet offline,

we need our eyes on this.

I want to know

this site is secure.

Sally, my tech's concerned about

the security of the site.

Tower, you have lost

enough assets for today.

Keep your tech out of there.

Do you copy?

Copy, Command, I'm...

Jack, Command wants you to stand down.

The drones will handle this.

JACK:
I'm on site.

Jack.

I don't have eyes on you.

Command's offline.

Vika, I think it's one of ours.

This thing is ancient.

It looks...

pre-war.

The scavs brought

this thing down, Jack.

There's no sign of scavs.

Technician,

this is your Control.

I'm ordering you to pull out and

return to the tower immediately.

Touching down.

They're human.

Tower, we have got survivors.

There are four...

Check it, five survivors.

They are human.

Stand down!

Vika, the drones are

firing on survivors.

Jack, the Tet's offline.

I don't have control.

Stand down!

Jack Harper, Tech-49.

Back off, you son of a b*tch!

Back off!

Open the door.

Vika!

Get the med kit.

Get the med kit!

This has to be reported.

Be sure and report

that the drones

killed the crew from

one of our own ships.

See what Command makes of that.

It's breathing fluid.

Just let her get it out.

Jack.

Here. You're still dehydrated.

Where are we?

I'm Victoria, this is Jack.

VICTORIA:
What's your name?

I'm Julia.

VICTORIA:
Julia...

I'm sorry for what

I have to tell you,

but you were in a crash.

Your ship came down.

Jack managed to pull you

from the wreckage.

But none of your crew survived.

What do you mean?

You're the only one

that made it.

I'm sorry.

You've been in delta sleep

for a long time.

Some disorientation is normal.

How long?

Sixty years.

At least.

I have to get back to our ship.

It's too dangerous down there.

You need to rest.

Vika...

Don't touch me.

Your ship's re-entry was triggered

by a beacon from the surface.

Do you know

anything about that?

What was your mission?

It's classified.

Well, we have

no record of an Odyssey...

I can't tell you anything

until I get the flight

recorder from my ship.

Julia, a lot has

changed in 60 years.

While you were in delta sleep,

Earth was attacked.

Call them scavs.

They destroyed our moon and

with that, half the planet.

Then they invaded.

We won the war,

but Earth was ruined.

Everyone's on Titan now.

It's a moon of Saturn.

Or on the space station,

getting ready to go.

We're here for security

and drone maintenance.

We're the mop-up crew.

You've lost people.

Everything.

If you want to be alone,

we understand.

The drones killed

her entire crew.

- If I hadn't gotten there...

- I want her gone first thing.

Vika...

Do you have any memories

before the mission?

Before the security wipe?

Our job is not to remember.

Remember?

Do you remember her?

Jack!

That was a scav beacon

that brought her down.

We don't know who she is.

Or what she is.

Let's just get

through the night.

Okay?

You fly that thing?

Yes.

What happens now?

The Tet will be online soon.

Victoria will

report your rescue.

They'll send

someone down for you.

From the Tet?

Yes.

I need to get the flight

recorder from my ship.

The scavs, they move at night.

- They could be all over it by now.

- I need to know what happened.

You need to know what happened.

Please.

Jack?

Jack, what are you doing?

Vika, she's a flight officer.

She wants to see her ship and

secure the flight recorder.

- Now, you would want the

same thing.- Jack, Jack...

I can't protect you.

No, I understand.

This one's on me.

I couldn't save them.

Jack. Jack!

Jack, can you hear me?

All right, it's time to go.

Jack.

I found it.

Jack!

Tower 49, how are y'all

this lovely morning?

Another day in paradise.

Sally...

Jack took a pre-dawn patrol

and went off-comm

near the canyons in 17.

Now,

I know we're low on drones,

but, um, requesting one

to sweep the area.
