Tron Page #11

The tank fires again, narrowly missing Tron, and he REVS up again,

speeds off down the ramp, and is gone.

CUT TO:

271-272 OMIT 271-272

273 FLYNN AND RAM 273

Ram is badly injured, unconscious. Flynn struggles to his feet,

sees the tank turret swiveling towards him, grabs Ram and picks him

up.

274 SHOT OF FLYNN 274

struggling with Ram's limp body, wedging himself into a narrow crack.

CUT TO:

275 SARK 275

in the carrier above. He is watching the action on the wall screen

behind his console, back to the camera. The picture is coming from

the lead tank. To him, it appears as though Ram and Flynn had been

blown up, since no sign of them is visible. We can see his

lieutenant nearby, operating the communications.

SARK:

(to lieutenant)

Make contact with master Control...

(smiles)

he'll be pleased to hear we're all

finished with that User he sent us.

276 EXT. DESERT - TRON'S CYCLE276

speeding through the flat, desert-like terrain, heading straight for

the cityscape tower in the distance.

277 SHOT IN FRONT OF HIM - HIS FACE277

Far behind him, we see the image of Sark's carrier ponderously

moving in his direction.

CUT TO:

278 FLYNN AND RAM 278

Flynn is supporting Ram, half carrying him, and it is

getting darker.

FLYNN:

You gonna make it?

Ram weakly nods, but doesn't look very convincing. Flynn bites his

lip and struggles on. They are down on the floor of the desert,

leaving the towering canyons behind. A large, dim shape can be made

out. Flynn peers at it hopefully and struggles towards it.

CUT TO:

279 FLYNN 279

arriving in front of a block-like shape, with a narrow opening.

Exhausted, Flynn lets Ram down to the ground, goes to the opening

and looks in. Looks okay, so he comes back.

CUT TO:

280 FLYNN AND RAM 280

sitting down inside the hiding place, collapsing. Ram is unconscious

anyway, and Flynn's eyes soon closed.

FADE TO BLACK:

281 FADE UP FROM BLACK 281

Some light comes in the opening, and we see Flynn lying on a

platform across from Ram. Ram's glow appears to be almost gone.

Flynn's eyes open. For a second he doesn't know where he is, but

then he spots Ram, and comes fully awake. Ram is watching him. Flynn

looks around. He gets up and stretches, his hand reaching up towards

the ceiling. It brushes against one panel and suddenly the energy

glow from his body seems to leap from his hand to the panel, leaving

it with a glow of its own. The entire chamber starts to shake and

RUMBLE.

FLYNN:

(holding onto

the wall)

What's goin' on?

RAM:

(looking around, weak)

We're inside a Recognizer...

(to Flynn)

You are crazy -- stealing a Recognizer --

FLYNN:

(stumbling, trying to

keep his balance)

Are you kidding? I think it's stealing us -

Flynn tentatively places his-hands on separate parts of the

instruments. An energy flow starts, and with a mighty heave and

shudder, the chamber they're in turns over, knocking both Flynn and

Ram to one side. The Recognizer is now in its standard upright

position.

CUT TO:

282 EXT. SHOT OF THE RECOGNIZER282

as it stands up, covered with a static overlay, partially de-rezzed.

283 INT. RECOGNIZER 283

Through the head of the Reco, we can look out at the landscape below.

Flynn sits stunned for a moment, then stumbles over to Ram, who's

going fast.

FLYNN:

You okay? You don't look so good.

Ram nods weakly.

FLYNN (CONT.)

Hang on. We'll get you outta here.

Flynn touches panels, trying to get the Recognizer going, but with

no result.

FLYNN (CONT.)

Damn! Never fails... minute the

warranty runs out...

RAM:

Come here.

Flynn goes over to him and kneels. Ram grabs his hands. Suddenly

Ram's fading glow begins to flow through their clasped hands into

Flynn. Horrified, Flynn tries to pull away, but Ram holds him fast.

FLYNN:

Hey... !

RAM:

Little more juice's all it needs...

Ram's last bit of energy flows into Flynn and Ram's body de-rezzes.

Flynn watches in horror, frantically trying to reverse the flow,

but it's too late. Ram disappears before his eyes. Stunned, he

gazes at the empty space for a moment, then stands up.

DISSOLVE TO:

284 THE CITY LANDSCAPE 284

Tron arrives at the city, gazing around an empty, surreal, burnt-out

landscape. Buildings seem two dimensional, barely there, at a low

rate of power, so drained by the MCP. The cycle de-rezzes. There's a

NOISE from above, and Tron looks up.

285 TRON'S POV 285

A Recognizer floats over the city, moving towards him.

286 EXT. CITY LANDSCAPE 286

He hides behind a building as the Reco passes. A strange, zombie-like

figure comes down one of the streets, and the Recognizer swoops over

it, the static field flashing between the legs, passing through the

figure, dissolving it.

287 CLOSE UP TRON'S FACE 287

Very grim. He looks out onto the street and sees two more of the

figures, standing together, staring at each other, barely moving.

Dead, lifeless, but animate. Tron comes out on the street, staring

at these figures. He locks around the city in confusion, shaking his

head sadly, but walks on.

288 TRON TURNS A CORNER 288

Up ahead we see a large, multi-storied factory-like building.

289 CLOSE UP - TRON IS FACE 289

This is what he was looking for. He looks from side to side,

figuring the best way to get to the building. In front of the

building stand a small group of the memory guards.

CUT TO:

290 EXT. CITY - LONG SHOT290

of the city, and the tower and beam rising high into the air, with

Sark's carrier far away, nearing the city.

CUT TO:

291 EXT. CITY - LONGER SHOT 291

over the complex landscape, of the distant city and tower, with

Sark's carrier far away, nearing the city.

CUT TO:

292 INT. RECOGNIZER - FLYNN 292

This was his POV out of the window of the Recognizer. His face is

sad, he is still mourning Ram. This is a very low point. He sighs,

then looks around, putting his palm on one panel after another.

One of them glows brilliantly as he touches it, and the Recognizer

gives a violent shake, then stops.

FLYNN:

Never gonna figure out how to work

this thing...

There's a NOISE from above. He looks up.

293 HIS POV293

We see a bright glow behind one of the pieces of equipment.

294 FLYNN 294

His eyes widen, then narrow. He non chalantly turns away, pretending

to be still examining things.

CUT TO:

295 THE GLOW 295

Appearing again, peeking around the corner. It comes forward, trying

to get a look at Flynn. The BIT.

296 WIDE SHOT 296

Flynn whirls around, fingers poised like a gunfighter. The Bit gives

a violent start and leaps back, out of the way, but immediately

comes back, peering at Flynn. Flynn is moving closer.

FLYNN:

Okay -- hold it right there!

The Bit is still in its pure energy form, but then it suddenly

recognizes Flynn (thinks he is Clu), expands in a smooth green

sphere -- the "Yes" mode and shouts:

BIT:

Yes!

The Bit subsides into energy form again.

FLYNN:

(still suspicious)

What do you mean, "'yes"?

BIT:

Yesssss. Yes. Yes. Yes.

From now on, whenever the Bit speaks, it is a ball-shaped character,

red or green, with a hint of a face, but as soon as it stops

speaking, it reverts to a brilliant spark of light.
