Pandorum Page #5

Synopsis: Two crew members are stranded on a spacecraft and quickly - and horrifically - realize they are not alone. Two astronauts awaken in a hyper-sleep chamber aboard a seemingly abandoned spacecraft. It's pitch black, they are disoriented, and the only sound is a low rumble and creak from the belly of the ship. They can't remember anything: Who are they? What is their mission? With Lt. Payton staying behind to guide him via radio transmitter, Cpl. Bower ventures deep into the ship and begins to uncover a terrifying reality. Slowly the spacecraft's shocking, deadly secrets are revealed...and the astronauts find their own survival is more important than they could ever have imagined.

Can you hear me?

Payton, do you copy?

Can you hear me?

l'm here.

Where are you?

Storage tank

somewhere below B level.

Midship sector 1 2, l think.

How the hell did you get all the way

to the other side of the ship?

The reactor is shutting down fast.

l need you to access the memory banks

from the last power surge

- and run a Kolzer complex test.

- Accessing memory banks now.

Running Kolzer complex.

You're not gonna like this.

Test says you have

less than 47 minutes

before complete system failure.

- That's not much time.

- How do we get you in there?

- l need you to give us a path.

- Copy.

Move it.

( screeches )

No. lt's a child.

Child?

That's no f***ing child.

( screeching )

They are breeding.

Little bastard.

He went and got daddy.

( roars )

This is not gonna work.

There's too many of them.

We must be close

to where they live.

Great.

Now we're f***ing stuck here.

Gallo:
What's so important

on the other side of that door?

The bridge.

We can take control of guidance

as soon as we get on the bridge.

How's that going to help?

This ship is dying.

We should be focusing

on how to save ourselves.

Oh, that's right.

The Boy Scout is going to save us.

He can do it.

he didn't know his own name.

Now you think he's ready

to reconfigure

a nuclear reactor?

Leland:

lf they don't leave soon,

there's no point in even going.

What are you doing?

These are our families

from flight personnel.

They're all dead.

You think she's here?

No, she's--

she's not here.

How do you know for sure?

'Cause she wouldn't come with me.

She's not on this flight.

She left me.

( wind howling )

There was nothing left for me,

so l enlisted.

She's the reason why l left.

Well, then she saved your life.

That's very tragic.

But we've got to move on.

l'm sick of this sh*t.

- For what?

- What?

- For what?

- Shh.

- They're all gone.

- Shh.

- There's nothing left.

- Shh! Shut your f***ing mouth.

There's nothing left to go back to.

You're wrong.

Hey, we were meant to go on.

And we were meant to survive.

And now it's more

important than ever.

Leland:

We're wasting time.

- l remember.

- What?

Clock's ticking.

Payton's wife Marianne.

l remember.

Bower was right about one thing:

Once this thing shuts down

we are as good as dead.

What are you muttering about?

l'm saying once it's done

we're done.

But we still have a way out of this.

You're suggesting what, Corporal?

We can launch ourselves in the pods

before the ignition systems

are completely dead, sir.

That's suicide.

We can buy a few days,

which is better

than what we have left here.

Leland:

The reactor is close.

You can hear it breathe.

Yeah, this is it...

a descent into hell itself.

How long do you think that reactor

has been sitting there, huh?

That thing could melt down

when he tries to fire the core.

This ship could be ripped in half.

Stand down, Corporal.

We are not abandoning anything

and we are not leaving them behind.

We can't stay on this ship!

You know that!

l said stand down, Corporal!

That's an order.

( electricity crackling )

- Whoa!

- ( metal creaks )

( growling )

Christ Almighty.

( grunts )

Don't let go.

( beeping )

He's in.

We're gonna get ourselves

out of this.

- Trust me.

- Trust you?

How can l trust someone who

isn't even honest with himself?

We still have time.

- You have to listen to me.

- Don't do that.

Don't do what?

Don't talk to me like l'm some child

that needs reassurance.

Then calm the f*** down.

l know this ship and l know what

she's capable of better than anyone.

l know what she can and can't do.

Why are we even arguing?

lf you want to stay here

to die that is your choice.

- l gave you an order.

- Not mine. Not mine!

Corporal.

Who's the one being

irrational here, Lieutenant?

Who's the one being delusional?

l'm getting off this ship.

The flight is over.

Over!

( speaking Vietnamese )

( growling )

- Don't shoot yourself into space.

- Shut up.

- l'm getting off this ship.

- Bower's going to reboot the reactor.

Shut up.

lt wasn't the crew

that was sick, was it?

- Finish the code.

- Look at yourself.

- You're the one with the symptoms.

- Finish it!

( pod humming )

What are you doing?

lt's for your own good.

What the f*** are you doing?

You're not well.

You just need the proper treatment.

Let me out, God damn it!

Open it!

That is an order, motherf***er!

lt's not your fault.

l will cut you to f***ing bits.

Open it!

Open it!

l will carve you up!

Your mind has turned

against itself.

You're killing us!

We are all going to die, Corporal.

Holy f***.

( straining )

- Oh, sh*t.

- ( clanking )

( roars )

( roaring )

( shouts in Vietnamese )

( roars )

They're coming.

Hurry up!

Sh*t.

( howls )

Come on, come on, come on.

( humming loudly )

( computers powering up )

( computers powering up )

He did it.

Boy Scout did it.

You were right.

Now let me out.

l can help.

l'll help you.

What are you doing?

Are you still trying

to get on the bridge?

You do not want

to go in there, Corporal.

What are you gonna tell them, huh?

- Bower will be coming back here.

- Shut up.

They'll know what you did.

( laughs )

( creatures roaring )

( growling )

( roars )

( shouts )

( screams )

Where do you think you're going?

Quiet.

Think about what you're doing, sir.

Shut the f*** up.

They will never let you

get away with this.

Shut up!

They're everywhere.

A**hole!

( screaming )

( groans )

( cooing )

( grunts )

- ( screeches )

- ( gurgles )

( door bangs )

We both know who needs this shot.

- Stay back.

- Who's the one suffering here, sir?

l mean it!

What do you want from me?

Your mind has turned against itself.

l'm gonna f***ing carve you up.

( both grunting )

Who are you?

Leland:

Ahem. Made it.

Whoo.

l was with your boy.

l helped him get all this started.

l see you're a flyer too.

( groans )

( pounding at door )

Ah.

Where's your lieutenant?

He's not my lieutenant.

Where are we?

What's happened to us?

The flight log

will tell us how long we've been out

and how far we've gone.

( gasps )

lt seems

my mild memory lapse

has finally worn off, Lieutenant.

Who the hell are you?

Gallo, Corporal.

l was younger than you

when l first came onboard.

Funny, l can't even remember what life

was like before this flight began.

lt's all l have.

You're the one who received

the final transmission.

You stayed awake.

You broke the rotation.

You killed your crew.

How the hell would you know that?

Where are we?

Go ahead, take a peek.

( metal grinding )

You tell me.

What have you done with us?

You don't get it, kid.

There's no one left to judge.

Where are the stars?

Oh my God.

God?

You think God survived?

He's dead along with

the rest of humanity.

There's no law or order,

no good or evil.

Just us.

And you think you're going

to be the one to judge me?

You want to take a shot at me?

You know what?

l just might.
