Titan A.E. Page #4

Synopsis: In the year 3028 A.D., Earth is being attacked by the Drej, which are aliens made of pure energy! The Drej mother-ship destroys Earth with an energy beam just as hundreds of space vehicles manage to escape with the last of mankind aboard! One of the escapees is Sam's young son Cale, who carries with him a ring given to him by his father. Fifteen years later, Cale works on a salvage station, eking out a rough life and hating his father for having disappeared aboard the Titan so long ago. Without a home planet, surviving humans have been reduced to outer space drifters and are constantly bullied and looked down on by other space-faring races. A human captain named Joseph Korso and his pilot Akima seek out Cale and explain that he must help them find the Titan which contains a mechanism that will create a new Earth and therefore unite all of humanity. Meanwhile, the Drej wants to find the Titan so that they can destroy it. With Korso's help, Cale discovers that the ring his father gave to

A chance tonight

To victory

-Dreams be come reality|-Reality

It's my time to fly

My father will be|with me tonight

Ooh, I'm right on target

It's my time to fly

My father will be|with us tonight

It's my time to fly

My father will be|with me tonight

My father will be|with me tonight

Ooh, we're right on target

It's my time to fly

My father will be|with me tonight

Ooh

We're right on target

- Thank you.|- I knew you could handle this old bird.

No, I mean,|thank you for-

Thank you for trying to find me.|It's more than my father ever did.

Your father was a great man,|Cale.

- He would've been proud of ya.

- You really think so?|- Trust me.

Thanks. Thanks.

You know, I-|I miss him.

Me too.

Akima?

Akima? Huh?|Oh, uh, uh, sorry.

- In or out?|- Huh? Oh, uh, in.

Uh, what's going on?|Do you know why we stopped?

Pit stop for the basics.|Drifter Colony's the best place...

to pick up plasma packs,|fuel cells, frozen burritos.

Listen. I need|to talk to you, and-

Where'd you get all this junk?

Not junk.

Why don't you come with me?|I'll show you.

So, we're gonna barter this stuff|for more of that Earth junk?

Don't you get it, Cale?|That junk is all that's left|of the place we came from.

It reminds us of|all the things we miss.

Mm, miss. Like those frozen burritos|you were talking about.

- At least they don't|jump off your plate.

You think this is some game?|Did you forget the plan?

I get you the Titan;|I get rich. We had a deal, right?

- How dare you try|to cut me out like that?

Yeah? Do as you please, and|guess what. You'll retrieve nothing.

You don't have the whole map.|The kid's got it. And I've got the kid.

So you keep your drones|off my back,

or so help me,|I'll rip his heart out.

Cale, come on.

Going somewhere?

two little birdies itchy to fly.

- How long were they standing there?|- Long enough.

You lied?

Everything you said?|Everything you told me?

Not everything.|Your father hid his ship,

then the Drej killed him,|all because he couldn't face the truth.

- Yeah? What is the truth?|- That the human race is out of|gas. It's circling' the drain.

It's finished.|The only thing that matters|is grabbin' what you can...

before somebody else|beats you to it.

No, I don't believe that!

Then you're even more like|your father than I thought. A fool.

- Cale!|- Uh-uh-uh.

- Akima, come on!|- Stop them.

Stay on 'em.|I'll lock it down.

- Hurry!|- Go! Go!

- Akima! Akima?

Let's go.|We got a ship to find.

Let's get airborne,|now.

- Where's Cale and Akima?|- They're not coming.

- Why not?|- Because they're afraid.

Afraid? What exactly are they afraid of?

They're|afraid of what might happen|if my command was ever questioned.

- Get it?

- Got it.|- Got a problem with that?

No.

- Why they not say good-bye to Gune?

- Go get a blanket, quickly.|She needs warmth.|- Something to keep her warm.

You, go get a doctor.

- Yeah. Hurry.|- Cover her.

- Yes, yes.|- What did you tell him?

I asked him|to bring corn liquor.

No. Really,|I don't need it.

Ha! Not for you.|For boy.

- Me?|- He pass out soon.

- She'll be fine. She just|needs rest. Don't worry.

She'll be fine.

Hey!

It's his favorite thing in the world-

that stupid ball.

It was our dad's|back on Earth.

Every time|he kicks that thing,

my brother thinks|he's in a big grass field.

That's some imagination.

Yeah, well- There. He had|a little help. See what I mean?

That's him- our dad.

That's where my brother|got the idea.

Hmm.

Here on the colony,|most people got to shut their eyes...

to see anything other|than rusted spaceship hulls.

Not my brother.

Later.

Ahem.

- Hey. Sleeping Beauty.|- How long was I out?

Not long.|A few hours.

Korso and Preed. I can't believe it.

How long before|they reach the Titan?

They won't.|We're gonna beat them to it.

Akima, we're gonna|stop them.

Was I seriously injured|back there or something,

'cause, funny, I thought you just said|we're gonna stop them?

- That's right.|- Cale, we're in the middle of nowhere.

- That's right.|- Cale, we're in the middle of nowhere.

There's just the two of us,|and, oh, yeah- We don't have a ship.

- Oh, we've got a ship.|- Really?

- Mm-hmm.|- I'd like to see this ship.

Check it out.

- Oh, no.|- Oh, yes.

Well, she's been a great house,|but I don't think she'll fly.

Well, she's still got her ionic|vacuum drive. Those never drain.

- This thing's a wreck.|- I can fix it, but do you think-

Don't worry.|I can fly it.

Good, 'cause|we launch yesterday.

I've gotta getaway from here

It couldn't be too soon

'Cause I've seen the stars|for you and me

Like rockets|to the moon

You take me everywhere|that I've never been

Show me the meaning|of what life had to give

I don't know|what to say

-I think that maybe|I'm in over my head

-Stuck in the bed|Somethin' she said|- Own!

-Makes me think|that I'm in over my head

Over my head

T-minus ten, nine,

eight, seven,

-six, five,|- Well, we're good to go.

- Let's hope she starts.|- four, three,

- two,|- Oh, she'll start.

- one, zero.|- Yeah, right.

- She'll start.

Uh, I'd lean back|if I were you.

- Should I get out and push?

- Whoa!|- Ha.

- Told ya.|- Okay. You did your job.|Now let me do mine.

These collisions keep slowing us down.

- So where is it?|- My scanners are picking up|a cornucopia of nothing.

Just find it!|Gune, are you sure about that map?

You give me map. I follow map.|What more can Gune do?

- If Professor Screw loose led us|off course, I'm going to-|- Hold it!

- What is it?|-A ship. Three keks east.

- Drej?|- No. Human craft heading|for the break zone. Fast.

- How fast?|- I'd say recklessly fast.

- Akima.|- Ah, good!

Akima. Cale.|I hail on communicator.

No hailing.|Just follow them.

Okay. I follow, but I plot|new route through safer quadrant.

- If we-

- We're going to follow them,

and we'll run silent.

The reflections|are throwing my readings off.

Uh, Akima, I think|we're getting closer.

- Cale! It's Korso.|- Huh?

- He's right behind us.|- What?

We've got to lose him.

- We'll never find them in there.|- We're going in.

- Stith, where are they?|- I can't get a reading.

There's too much ice,|too much interference, Captain.

- Captain.|- Whoa!

- Whoa!

A heat signature.|I see them!

- Where are they?|- Behind us!

- No!

Where is he?

I-I don't know.

- What?|- Well, we found them, Captain.

No more heat readings.|All gone.

Until they make their move,|we stay here.

- They're moving out, I think.|- Now we've got 'em.

- I can't move. They'll see us.|- Maybe that's exactly what we want.

A reading!|Yeah. They're right in front of us.

You're not gonna|get past me, kid.

- There, Captain!|- That's right, Cale. Keep coming.

Closer.|They're getting closer!

There she is, Captain.

No. There, Captain.

Which one?

Look!|They're behind us now!

- Ready lasers!|- I'm on it!

I need one clear shot.|Don't lose 'em.

- Ice! Turn back!|- No way.

- We'll never make it through.|- We don't have a choice.

- Akima! Uh-|- Yes, Cale?
