Stormhouse Page #3

- Get up.

What is going on?

Where are we going?

- Get off! Help me!

- Get back in your room.

No. No.

Miss Sands, if you work

against the British military's

best interest, then you must expect

to be treated like a terrorist.

No, you can't do this.

The E.M. rising

steadily, sir.

Temperature down 5%.

I'd say it was excited.

- What are you doing?

- Stand down, Mr. Rourke.

- You can't do this.

- The E.M. peaking.

- Do it.

- No!

Please, no.

Argh!

Um...

the power supply in the main

holding area is down again.

What about the enclosure?

Emergency power holding.

Switch the lights over to

the secondary power supply.

- I'm working on it.

- Work faster.

Here goes.

Hayley, the fence is down.

Run!

Emergency.

Code red.

Get on the floor.

Get down. Get down.

Stay down.

- Where is it?

- Let me out!

Did it get out?

Mr. Faber.

Let me out.

I can't do this.

The enclosure power

coming back online.

Let me out.

It could now be anywhere

inside that room.

Increase reverse E.M.

on the room's perimeter.

Divert any power you can spare.

I want that entire space

What about the girl?

Lieutenant, Private, escort Mr. Rourke

to one of the detention cells.

No one goes anywhere.

I wasn't expecting

your visit, sir.

I neglected to inform

Miss Sands

during our bugged conversation.

You're relieved, Major.

Hand over your weapon.

Get this man to the medical

center. Move.

Why is Miss Sands in there?

Get her out now.

I'm afraid we can't

do that, sir.

Why not?

Miss Sands,

it's Duncan McGillis.

Are you all right?

Please, please let me

out of here.

I'm told there's a chance

that the holding area is contaminated.

We're doing everything we can.

We'll have you out of there

as soon as possible.

The entity is out of the enclosure.

It might attack.

At least let me

into the tunnel.

I'm sorry, but the entity

may be sealed inside.

Remain vigilant, Miss Sands,

and bear with me.

Is there any way of knowing

if the entity has escaped

into the holding area?

It could still be

in the enclosure,

but unless it makes itself visible to us,

we have no way of telling.

I mean I could set up a series

of pulses of rev E.M.

around the holding area,

including the tunnel.

What would that do?

It would act as a kind

of cattle prod.

We would see a reaction from the entity

if it came into contact with it.

That's not a good idea.

Provoke the entity and it may

become more dangerous.

What other options do we have?

We wait and observe.

But there's no telling

how long that will take.

Unacceptable.

I'm not putting that girl

through any more of this.

How long will it take to implement

your pulse option?

It will take a couple of hours.

But once it's all set up, it will only take

a few minutes to scan the area.

Will Miss Sands be harmed?

No sir. But as

the major pointed out,

we have no way of predicting

how the entity will react.

What were you doing throwing

that terrorist into the cage?

Are we America now?

With the greatest of respect, sir,

America gets results.

We are too soft and heading

for a 9/11 of our own.

If your family were at risk,

tell me you wouldn't

agree with my actions.

You're facing

a court martial, Major.

You've contravened

countless human rights,

not to mention

put this base at risk.

You will lock Stormhouse down

until you are certain

this thing is contained.

No one comes.

No one goes.

Am I understood?

Yes sir.

Then you will escort me

to the panic room.

Surprised?

Who do you think approves the plans

and the budget for this place?

Bring Miss Sands to me there

and we'll wait for

the rescue team to arrive.

I'll need to organize the team

and inform Whitehall of the situation.

- Get me an outside line.

- Of course, sir.

Hello?

Is anyone out there?

Mr. McGillis.

Hello?

Jesus, shut up.

Hey, Lieutenant.

You're still on duty?

Yes.

What's going on?

It's getting warmer in here.

The temperature is going up

inside the holding area.

That's weird.

That's not right.

The temperature

is going down in here.

Hey, Lieutenant,

will you do me a favor?

Can you...

can you radio the major

or McGillis,

tell them we've got

a problem in here?

Hey, are you gonna radio...?

The entity is out

of the enclosure.

Oh God.

Lieutenant Groves, with me.

Lieutenant.

You getting any signal

through comms?

No sir, no reading.

F***. Right,

you two, stay with me.

Keep your f***ing eyes open.

You're not here anymore.

Play.

What's going on out there?

Please remain in your room.

What's all the shouting about?

What's going on?

Stay in your room.

Who's there?

Private Matthews,

are you still there?

Look, just stay in your room.

Hey.

What happened to you?

Lester.

The pain meds they gave me...

they're wearing off.

Well, let's get you some more

and get you properly strapped up.

No, you need to go

and get help.

Screw that.

Let's go.

Major,

I thought you were

in custody, sir.

The entity has escaped.

I remain

your commanding officer.

Yes sir.

I want you to proceed

to the mess room

and establish a secure base.

Understood, sir.

We split up,

move on to the mess.

You both take the right.

I'll take the left.

Lance Corporal Rogers, status.

Lance Corporal Rogers, respond.

Have you secured the area?

# Frere Jacques #

# Frere Jacques,

Dormez-vous? #

Incorrect code.

Access granted.

Reverse EM barrier activated.

Wait. Wait.

Yeah? Okay.

Use this.

Just stay with me, okay?

We'll get you the painkillers

to keep you going.

Just... argh!

Salim, it's me.

It's okay.

Where are you going?

We're going to the medical center.

He's badly injured.

Where are you going?

Out.

Even if you did find the lift,

you wouldn't be able to leave.

In emergency situations

you can only activate the lift

with an authorized thumbprint.

You can do this?

No, officer rank only.

Then we must find

one of these men.

Allow me.

How the hell are we

supposed to secure this?

Shut up and focus.

Everyone's gone

bloody quiet on comms.

It's been here.

Focus.

All clear in here, Dan.

How about you?

Dan.

Dan!

Dan?

For f***'s sake, Dan.

This ain't the time for games.

Shh.

Bored.

Oh God, no.

Oh my God, no.

Does this man have

authorization to the exit?

What?

We have no time.

Does he have authorization?

You'd need his thumbprint.

Stay here.

What are you doing?

What the f*** are you doing?

Oh.

Give it to me.

You show me the way.

I will activate the lift.

The lift is nearby.

If we can get up top,

I should be okay.

We need to know

we can trust you.

Scan in progress.

Print verified.

Level nine is no longer

a valid lift access point.

The nearest access point

is level six.

- Level six?

- Yeah, it's three floors above us.

Somebody wants to make

sure no one can reach the lift carriage.

- We can use the emergency ladder.
