The Cloverfield Paradox Page #5

---

All right, Mundy.

What's your progress?

Shutting down the auxiliary O2 pumps

in Maintenance Room 3.

I can't understand anything

you just said.

I'm nearly ready to transfer the oxygen.

Okay, we're good.

Standing by on X-Deck.

-Ready on M.

-All right, Mundy.

Okay.

The oxygen is pouring in.

I can feel it.

Where's the power, Jensen?

Test the actuator.

Mundy, good work.

I got to say the pure oxygen

in here is sweet.

Guys?

Guys?

Mundy?

Guys?

Are you having magnetic issues,

by any chance?

Mundy?

Help!

Mundy!

Guys?

-No! No!

- My God.

The maintenance deck gets

more unstable with every rotation.

It's a matter of time before that thing

rips the station apart.

The ring's spinning off axis

by 17 degrees.

Anything more than 25...

it won't hold.

We'll all be in pieces.

So we decouple the maintenance ring.

If we're going to survive...

we have to.

Not you. Not Jensen.

To do that job in the time we have...

it has to be the three of us.

I want to give you some

comforting advice,

but I have no idea how this

is going to go.

Gravity will be unpredictable,

so be sharp.

Follow my lead.

The Schmidt that betrayed you...

you realize he's not me, right?

Oh, my God.

This isn't gonna hold much longer.

Let's get across.

Monk, get moving!

The ring's at 20.2 degrees.

Monk, you're almost there.

Twenty-one point five degrees.

Monk, look at me!

Give me your arm!

Twenty-two point three.

Hamilton, you need to hurry.

Twenty-three point one degrees.

Hang on!

Twenty-three point four degrees.

Keep moving.

I'm clearing the debris.

Come on.

It's jammed.

Twenty-three point nine degrees.

We have to jettison that ring.

What is it?

Kiel?

We have to shut down the hydraulics.

Let's go.

Twenty-four point two degrees.

Wait, Kiel.

What are you doing?

To decouple the ring, this portal

has to be locked.

Wait. No, Kiel.

We can do this remotely.

I'm the commander of this station.

I have to do this.

You can get the station home.

You can do it.

There's no other way.

You have to.

It's okay.

Oh, Jesus!

The ring's at 24.8 degrees.

Oh. Oh, God.

Twenty-four point nine degrees.

- How late?

- Super late.

-Isaac with Jenny?

- I'm getting him at three.

Thank you.

Oh, don't forget his antibiotics.

-Yes, no I won't forget.

- Yes, you wont.

-No you won't. Okay.

- No. I won't forget.

-Have something in your hair.

- Where? There?

-No. No, the other side.

- Did I get it?

-It's over there now.

- Good? Did I get it?

-You keep missing it.

- Where is it?

-How do you keep missing it?

- Oh my God, what is it?

-It's gone. You're good.

- Are you sure?

You got it a few seconds ago.

I was just being stupid.

Hey, beautiful.

Just in case I don't make it

through this...

what I wanted to say the last time

we spoke was...

maybe we'll try again.

I can't defend the idea now.

There's no time to think about

what we could have done

or what we'll do one day.

The only choice we have...

is to save the people that we still can.

What's our oxygen level?

We've got 43 good minutes left.

We'll prep the Shepard to fire twice.

Once to overload, which should

get us home...

then again with Tam's equation

programmed in

which will give us the energy we need.

Jensen, copy all our data

from the Shepard

and take it home.

This should eventually help your planet.

Schmidt, get the Shepard

to countdown mode.

Here's Kiel's firing key.

Jensen and I will take Pod 3 down

before you fire the Shepard...

and hopefully get home.

Okay.

Okay.

Ava?

Sh*t.

Jensen.

No.

We all set on X-Deck?

What are you doing?

I need the firing keys.

I can't let you take the Shepard.

I can't do that.

It's not a request, Monk.

Please. Jensen.

I'm sorry, but I need that key.

No.

Monk!

Okay. No.

I won't let you take the Shepard

away from my world, Schmidt.

Jensen! Please.

Why have you come back?

You could have gone home.

-We were a crew.

-We were never a crew.

Stay away from her, Hamilton.

This had to happen from the moment

you wiped my crew,

my station, from existence.

-No.

-You can't have it both ways, Ava.

Your family here, but the Shepard there.

You have everything you needed!

We couldn't rebuild fast enough.

Think.

People are dying down there, every day.

You're going to kill us?

If you're asking me if I am willing

to kill three people...

to save eight billion...

wouldn't you?

Go!

Go!

Ava...

don't fail them again.

That is your family down there.

The same kids.

The same man you married.

You don't know how bad it is

down there.

It'll only get worse.

Listen to their voices, Ava.

They need you.

You may be willing to kill

your children again...

but I won't let those people

down there die.

Yes! I learned my back handspring.

Ava!

No!

[glass shatters, wind whooshes

I don't know where to start.

But this isn't my world?

As much as I want it to be.

It isn't mine.

It's yours.

Ava...

you're not losing your mind, I promise.

There's no other way to say this.

I'm you.

I have to be quick.

Attached to this message,

are detailed construction

and operation plans

for the Shepard Accelerator.

I'm praying it helps your planet.

I have the same hope for mine.

I need to say two things

that won't make sense to you.

But please, hear me...

and understand how important

these both are.

First...

if you've installed a power cell

at the house...

take it out, now.

It's wrong, and it's dangerous...

and if these plans work,

you won't need to siphon power anyway.

And two...

Whatever you're doing right now...

whatever meeting you're in

or wherever you're going, stop.

Go to your husband and your children...

right now.

Go to them...

and hold them.

Hold them for as long as you can.

Kiss them and love them,

and know how blessed you are...

to have them in your life.

That's all there is.

That's all there is.

Three...two...one...

mark.

Cloverfield, do you copy?

Huntsville, this is Hamilton.

Can you hear us?

Where have you guys been?

That's something of a conversation.

We can explain later.

Listen...

I'd rush an emergency team

up here for repairs.

Schmidt and I are all that's left.

Huntsville?

What did you do up there?

What's going on with the Shepard?

Stand by.

We have a stable beam.

The Shepard...

is working.

Michael, we got them.

You did? You found them?

Ava, the station.

We made contact.

She can't wait to see you.

She's coming back.

You're having her come back to Earth?

Do they know what's happening here?

No, there wasn't time.

We lost contact.

Listen, just get to the

Delaware coast.

She splashes down at 4:30.

-Have you lost your mind?

- The station's been through hell.

You're having her come back

to these things?

There's nothing we can do.

They couldn't stay up there.

Michael, there wasn't a choice.

There is a choice!

Tell them not to come back!

-You have to listen to me.

- Tell them not to come back!

Tell them not to come back!

You hear me?

Tell them not to come back!
