Residue Page #5

Synopsis: An unnamed UK metropolis. The future. Renowned photojournalist JENNIFER PRESTON is investigating the aftermath of a terrible explosion that ripped through the city on New Year's Eve. Known simply as 'The Catastrophe', this shocking tragedy has left behind a festering wound. The city is on edge, thousands have evacuated and a sprawling, militarized Quarantine Zone has been erected around the epicentre of the blast. The 'QZ', as it becomes known, is a network of empty buildings and abandoned streets, shrouded beneath clinical plastic and fenced in behind impenetrable barricades. Heavily armed security units ensure that nobody goes in and nobody comes out. As unexplained and increasingly bizarre acts of violence erupt across the city, Jennifer begins to notice strange, ephemeral phantoms in her photographs. What begins as an artistic documentation of The Catastrophe's lingering aftershock soon becomes an obsession with 'The Phenomenon' - a seeming paranormal phenomenon gripping the perime

Physically,

at least.

We've had to move him to one

of our psychiatric facilities.

What? Why?

Where-where

are the others?

The little girl?

Her name was Charlotte.

I'm sorry.

They were exposed to

high levels of contamination.

We couldn't save them.

There is

no contamination.

You're f***ing lying!

I want to see

Jonas.

Where's

Jonas?!

I need you to calm down.

Jonas!

I want to see

Jonas.

Jennifer, you

need to calm down.

Don't tell me...

Calm down.

Calm down

and listen to me.

[CRYING]

We need to know more about

those things that you've seen.

The things

you write about.

Your blog.

We know you've

encountered them.

We need to know how

you survived those encounters.

I've no idea what

you're talking about.

I need to

get out of these.

You have no right

to detain me here.

Of course we have.

You were trespassing

in the national security

Quarantine Zone.

Jennifer...

you can help us.

[CRYING]

I'm not feeling very

charitable at the moment.

[SIGHS]

I understand.

You will give me

what I need.

Whatever it takes.

[JENNIFER CRIES]

After all, I'm not entirely sure

anyone knows that you're here.

[JENNIFER SOBS]

ANGELA:

The incident the other night

was indeed unfortunate.

And as a result of the breach,

the MOD has reinforced security

at every perimeter checkpoint

and significantly increased

patrol

within the Quarantine Zone

to reassure people

this will not happen again.

We cannot stress

highly enough

how dangerous

the Quarantine Zone is

and how hard

our armed forces are working.

The public have every right

to know its government

have this situation

under control.

John Harrison

John Harrison (3 April [O.S. 24 March] 1693 – 24 March 1776) was a self-educated English carpenter and clockmaker who invented a marine chronometer, a long-sought-after device for solving the problem of calculating longitude while at sea. His solution revolutionized navigation and greatly increased the safety of long-distance sea travel. The problem he solved was considered so important following the Scilly naval disaster of 1707 that the British Parliament offered financial rewards of up to £20,000 (equivalent to £2.89 million today) under the 1714 Longitude Act.In 1730, Harrison presented his first design, and worked over many years on improved designs, making several advances in time-keeping technology, finally turning to what were called, sea watches. Harrison gained support from the Longitude Board in building and testing his designs. Toward the end of his life, he received recognition and a reward from Parliament. Harrison came 39th in the BBC's 2002 public poll of the 100 Greatest Britons. more…
