Reign Of Fire Page #4

Synopsis: It is twenty years in the future, and the planet has been devastated by vicious fire-breathing dragons. The last vestiges of humanity now struggle for survival at remote outposts. In a ruined castle in the English countryside, Quinn is desperately trying to hold together a band of frightened, restless survivors. As a boy, Quinn watched his mother die protecting him from one of the beasts, and is still haunted by the memory. One day, a group of American rogues shows up, led by a brash, tough-guy named Van Zan. He claims to have discovered a way to kill the dragons once and for all, and enlists Quinn's help. But doing so will force Quinn to confront his own frightening memories. This, and Quinn's responsibilities to those that are under his protection, results in a battle of wills between the two men. In the end, events cause them both to realize that they must work together to defeat the monsters--both without and within.

A couple of years, Jared. That's

all I'm asking for. Give me that.

After that, you'll be old

enough, and you can lead 'em.

That's what I want. Out of

everyone, you're the best.

It's a waste of time,

Quinn... all of it.

You're right.

I'm not your father.

I can't... lock you in.

I can't make you stay.

And if you think you're man

enough to speak like that,

then I guess

you're man enough to go.

Goodbye, Jared.

You look after yourself.

That dragon smells like sh*t.

Are you gonna burn it?

I love it.

They hate the smell

of their dead.

It's the only thing

that scares 'em.

It might buy us

a couple of days.

Sorry, Quinn.

So am I.

This time I was thinking

I got rid of you for sure.

Van Zan,

what are we doing?

Do you see a way through?

Negative.

It's blocked for miles.

As far as the river, Denton.

Head back, Alex.

...Find me a way around.

... Copy.

Is this Pembury?

...This looks like Pembury.

Do you want to turn back?

Nukes must have done this.

Nukes didn't do this.

Should we set

the triangulators?

No time.

Man the 50-cal,

lock and load,

cut the engines,

and take your positions.

You heard him!

Lock and load!

...Let's move! Let's move!

I think it's playing

with us.

It's not playing with us.

It's setting us up.

Ahhhhhhh!

Ahhhhhhhh!

Ahhhhhhh!

Easy. Easy.

Easy, girl.

Van Zan, it's Alex.

Can you read me?

Van Zan, can you hear me?

Van Zan, if you can hear me,

I'm coming back.

Can anybody hear me?

Van Zan!

Van Zan!

Denton...

what happened?

It was him.

Where are the soldiers?

One pass.

He flew over just once.

The castle.

Hyah!

Hyah!

Hyah! Hyah! Hyah!

Get the hell out of there!

Take cover, everybody!

Get it moving!

Hyah!

Anybody upstairs?!

Hyah!

Jared!

...Creedy!

... Quinn!

Have you got them all?

Creedy, help!

I'll get him!

You take her downstairs!

Hurry up! That big boy won't

stop until it's killed us all!

Katie... she won't move.

Come on, Katie.

Willem, get on my shoulder.

Katie, come on.

Let go of the wall.

Let go. Let go!

Take her! Take her!

Everybody,

move to the back!

I've got all the kids.

Okay, keep pushing up.

Katie's blanket.

Where is everyone?!

Don't you go

up there, Quinn!

There's 65 people up there,

Creedy. I'm going!

God damn it, Quinn.

Don't you dare leave!

It's too dangerous!

I'll clean it up.

Creedy!

Ugh!

Noooo!

Creedy! Ahh!

No!

No!

...Creedy! ... Creedy! ... Creedy!

What do we do

when we wake?

Keep both eyes on the sky.

What do we do...

What do we...

What do we do

when we sleep?

Keep one eye on the sky.

What do we do

when we see him?

Dig hard, dig deep,

run for shelter,

and never look back.

Jared...

We're alive!

We're in here!

Push!

Ugh!

Agh!

Back away!

You were right.

I salvaged what I could

from your armory.

We got one rifle,

two automatics,

two crossbows,

and explosive heads.

You, me, and Alex...

down the coast

in the chopper.

Stay tight to the cliffs.

The Thames will take us right

into the heart of London.

I know where he lives.

Magic hour...

you say that's when

they're the weakest.

We'll see.

You're going home.

Jared!

Yeah, Quinn?

You keep them safe.

Well, this town's

gone to hell.

They must have

heard us coming.

What's stopping them?

It's not us.

Either way, we gotta

get in there.

Come on, guys. We're

outnumbered hundreds to 3.

I know this city

from the sky down,

and I know it

from the bottom up.

If we can get in quiet, I can

sneak us into some tunnels.

That should get us close.

Good Christ.

Did he see us?

They must be starving.

They're eating their own.

Oh, we're dead.

Look on the bright side.

Now we've got him

outnumbered 3 to 1.

Now... you ready?

Yeah.

Quinn...

You lead. We follow.

There's an underground

passage...

leads to the

construction site!

Down here!

Clear.

Four tunnels meet

at this shaft.

Leads up to a square. There

used to be buildings up there.

If they're still around,

could be good coverage.

Yeah, if it goes to the street,

that's what we take.

Alex, give me the sticks.

Quinn, these are

highly volatile heads.

You fire them

with your crossbow.

...Now, when you...

He knows we're here.

Shh.

Okay.

How tall is that shaft?

All right.

Here's the plan...

when we get to street level, we gotta

bring that bull's ass to the ground,

and I'm gonna take care

of that.

Now, one shot's gonna kill him,

and it's gonna be with this.

He only exposes his chest

before he breathes fire.

Now, these are magnesium-tip

C-4 arrows,

and they only fly

about 50 feet.

So, when you fire, you gotta

be standing in the furnace.

So do not hesitate.

If you do, we die.

Ah, he's playing

hide-and-seek.

More like cat and mouse.

Quinn!

Use it!

Oh, he's eating it up.

I can't see

a damn thing, Quinn.

What am I looking at?

This is an enclosed square.

It's about 100 meters across.

There's a building right

in the middle.

That chimney looks down

over the lot of it.

What do you think?

I don't know yet.

...Hey...

you scared?

No.

It was your idea

to come to London.

Yeah, I thought

I'd be at 3,500 feet.

Yeah, I thought I'd have over

Life's got a funny way of turning

out different, though, don't it?

Yeah.

...Yeah.

... Yeah.

See that railcar?

It'll give us

a better view.

Move.

Drop your packs...

weapons only.

Okay, we're gonna

have a window...

makes a turn, and we're gonna use it.

...How?

... We're gonna split up.

We stay together, take

a hit, and we're gone,

so we gotta use every angle.

Now, Quinn, you're gonna

take that west wall.

Don't lock and load till

you get there. You got it?

Okay. What about you?

I got the north.

Alex, I need you

to stay right here.

Now, when Quinn and I make a

move, it's gonna draw him off,

and I don't think the

son of a b*tch can count.

Now, he's gonna make

another turn.

When he does, I'm

gonna tell you to go.

...You're gonna run like hell to that east

wall. Don't think about it... ... It's water!

Keep it.

You're gonna need it.

We have paid

a terrible price.

And now we got a chance

to make a difference.

We will.

Now, that's

our first window.

Quinn...

Move!

Ahhh!

Ahhh!

The arrows.

Alex!

In about 8 seconds,

we're gonna have a window!

Now, when I tell you

to go,

you run like hell straight

to the base of this chimney!

Are you ready?!

Go! Go!

No!

Run like the wind, baby!

Come on, big boy!

That's right.

Uh!

Ahhhhhhhhh!

Quinn!

Alex!

Stop!

I'm fine.

What are we gonna do?

I lost the explosives.

We're gonna find 'em.

Keep going!

...Go around the other side!

I'll slow him down!

He's not moving.

He's waiting for us.

Quinn... by the truck...

the arrow.

By the wheel.

No!

Die!

He always thought

you could do it.

And you did.

Come on.

Quinn! Quinn! Quinn!

We got a signal!

Quinn!

We got a signal.

Well, what's the problem?

They're speaking French.

Well, don't come to

me. I'm lousy at French.

They want to speak

to the person in charge.
