Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow Page #5
kilometers, at the edge of space,
- Earth will be incinerated.
- How do we stop it?
Only Totenkopf can stop it now. But
we've never been allowed near him.
He's too well guarded
even to be seen.
- Where is he?
- We're on our way, Cap.
Good boy, Dex.
Careful. Careful.
Hurry, they'll be coming for us.
Through there.
That's the only way in.
You see, there is no way past them.
Five minutes, Joe.
- Wait here.
- You'll be killed.
He knows what he's doing.
I think.
Hey, that's my gun!
- Dex?
- Try shaking it.
- We must hurry.
- Don't do it, you idiot!
Doctor, stop!
Who dares come before me?
Who dares enter this place?
What has begun
cannot be stopped.
- The time for this world is over.
- Totenkopf.
Hello, doctor.
Why are you doing this?
I have been witness to a world
consumed by hatred
and bent on self-destruction.
Watched as we have taken
what was to be a paradise
and failed in our responsibilities
as its steward.
I know now that the course
the human race has set for itself
cannot be changed.
I am the last, desperate chance
for a doomed planet.
Now, leave this place or die!
- Is it safe?
- Well, there's only one way to find out.
I meant throw something.
He's not here.
We're too late.
These are his personal papers.
He would never leave without them.
He must still be here.
- We must find him.
- I found him.
It's impossible.
It can't be.
The last entry in his journal
was made on October 11, 1918.
He died over 20 years ago.
We've been chasing a ghost.
Three minutes to liftoff.
They never stopped. They're finishing
what they were programmed to do.
Don't you see? This entire island
is Totenkopf. Every wire, every gear.
He's found a way to cheat
even his own death.
So how do we kill somebody
who's already dead?
- How do I stop it?
- Nothing can stop it now.
- There must be some way.
- His machines would never allow it.
Leave the machines to me.
Dex, show me what to do.
If you can cut the lead
in the system terminal,
it should create a short...
...which will ignite the fuel line
before the booster engines can fire
- and destroy the atmosphere.
- That's it?
- That's all I have to do?
- The terminal's onboard the rocket.
You won't have time to escape.
Contact Franky as soon
as you're off the island.
- She'll know exactly what to do.
- What are you talking about?
- I'm going with you.
- Not this time.
We had a deal.
You're not gonna leave me now,
just when things are getting interesting.
- I won't let you.
- I wish we had more time.
And I only hope, one day,
you can forgive me.
- Take care of her, Dex.
- Good luck, Cap.
One minute to liftoff.
We meet again,
my mysterious friend.
How do you wanna do this?
Nice shot, Polly.
What took you so long?
She's a machine.
Ten seconds to liftoff.
Nine...
...eight...
...seven...
...six...
...five...
...four...
off the ship.
Ninety kilometers to booster ignition.
There's no time.
That's our only way across.
Eighty kilometers to booster ignition.
Danger! Danger! Danger!
Cargo release imminent!
What did you do now?
Come on!
Seventy kilometers to booster ignition.
Sixty kilometers to booster ignition.
Hold on!
Please! Don't touch anything else!
There's no time. We'll never make it.
Fifty kilometers to booster ignition.
Run!
Forty kilometers to booster ignition.
Come in, Manta station.
Do you read me?
Thirty kilometers to booster ignition.
Franky, it's Dex. Do you read me?
It didn't work.
Twenty kilometers to booster ignition.
Joe, you're running out of time.
You've gotta do something.
And God saw that the wickedness
of man was great in the earth...
- He thinks he's God.
- And God said unto Noah, the end...
Shut up!
Ten kilometers to booster ignition.
Nine...
...eight...
...seven...
- ... six...
- Why won't you die?
Five kilometers to booster ignition.
Four...
...three...
...two...
...one.
Warning. System failure.
Booster malfunction.
Danger. Danger.
Danger.
Warning. System failure.
- Booster malfunction.
- Look!
Danger. Danger.
- What is it?
- It might be our way out of here.
I see them, commander.
Ready assault teams.
All hands on deck.
One shot.
You got your story.
Polly.
- You...
- It's all right.
You don't have to say anything.
Lens cap.
