Tron Page #18

We can see the observation port and below that a section of the

ship's structure is moving forward.

LIEUTENANT (V.O.)

Docking module prepared to disengage, sir.

541 INSERT541

Sark's hand touching a control panel.

542 OMIT 542

543 EXT. SHOT 543

As the landing pod disengages completely, floating away from the

carrier and then starting its final journey to the MCP, picking up

speed on a straight and even course. We can see a small speck

clinging to one side of the pod...

543A CLOSE UP - SPECK543A

TRON, holding himself braced into a narrow crack.

544 FLYNN, YORI AND THE BIT 544

Yori is sitting with her head in her hands. Flynn is at the door

testing it, running his finger along the edges.

545 LONG SHOT 545

Of landing pod flying over the glowing grid that surrounds the MCP's

mesa.

546 A SHOT546

from behind the carrier of the pod getting smaller with distance.

547 POD POV547

Steep cliff face of the MCP's mesa is coming closer and closer, more

and more detail visible.

548 POD 548

tiny against the massive bulk of the MCP's mesa, descending for

landing. The top edge of the cliff is encrusted with irregular

shapes and the pod is headed for one opening among the shapes,

fitting itself neatly in between so that it becomes a part of the

structure.

549 INT. POD 549

There is a minor jolt and Sark lays his palm on another panel. From

the rear wall of the pod we see the entire front wall rising slowly.

Sark and his lieutenant stand by either side of the door, and we

gradually are given a view of the MCP, two or three miles away at

the center of the plain ahead. The structure is a series of gleaming

black blades, forming a great cylinder, and the communication beam

rises out of the center of this cylinder.

550 EXT. CARRIER550

floating upwards and forward.

551 MED. SHOT 551

Flynn still at the door. Suddenly his hand goes right through the

door.

FLYNN:

Hey!

The door is disappearing, dissolving.

FLYNN:

(continuing; turning)

Look, the door's almost...

He stops in horror.

CUT TO:

552 HIS POV552

Yori is standing lethargically staring at her hands... through them.

She is de-rezzing too. Her whole body becoming transparent. She looks

up dimly at Flynn, with no expression.

553 WIDE SHOT 553

Flynn races back to her and takes her in his arms roughly, hugging

her close, his energy flowing into her.

Their faces are very close as he stares down, terrified that he is

too late to save her. Her eyes are half-closed.

FLYNN:

Yori!

554 CLOSE SHOT 554

Just their two faces. Flynn bends closer, their lips almost touch.

Suddenly her eyes widen as her form returns to solidarity, and color

floods back into her. Her mouth opens in wonder and she looks up at

Flynn. He pulls a little away from her, still holding her.

YORI:

(in awe)

You... you brought me back...?

Why...? How ... ?

Flynn lets go of her.

FLYNN:

I'm gonna need your help. Hey, Bit!

He looks around, spots a small glow in one corner of the cell, runs

to it and stoops down, cupping the glow in his hands. It wavers.

Flynn wills his energy back into it, frowning with concentration.

Suddenly the Bit pops into life.

BIT:

Yes!

FLYNN:

Let's get outta here.

They head for the door.

555 THE MESA TOP OF THE MCP 555

The prisoners file forward on the path to the MCP. Sark is leading

them. We can see the structure of the MCP closer now, looming bigger.

The four memory guards are standing at regular intervals along the

path.

556 EXT. POD DOOR - LIEUTENANT556

on duty. He hears a NOISE and turns... and in a flash of light a

speeding disk smashes into him, knocking him over. The CAMERA WATCHES

over his de-rezzing body. We see a figure approaching closer... its

arm is raised, and... the disk slams back into the hand.

557 CLOSER SHOT557

It is Tron. He steps over the body of the Lieutenant.

558 THE MCP558

from right outside. We see the prisoners beginning to file inside,

up the final slope leading to the base of the MCP.

559 SIDE SHOT OF THE ENTRANCE 559

to the MCP. As the guardian programs enter. Sark stands waiting,

watching them, his back to the camera.

560 POV OF THE DOOMED PROGRAMS560

As the first one gets through the opening. The light from the MCP's

beam pours out. Moving forward, through the entrance, the MCP is

finally revealed. A giant cylinder, a hundred feet high, with a

network of circuit lines, and stretched across all the visible

surface... is a face. Flattened, stretched, bizarrely distorted,

the face is capable of moving to any section of the-cylinder. The

impression is similar to the look of a grotesquely fat person's face,

but more so. It's horrible. Beneath the floating cylinder face two

inverted cones of light, meeting at their apex, support it. We

continue moving forward, the MCP looming over us. Then the CAMERA

STOPS and the doomed programs file past us, separating and going to

the inner walls. The MCP speaks, we see his enormous lips moving.

MCP:

(echoing, booming)

I am delighted that so many of you

could turn out to give your

power over to me...

561 FULL SHOT - THE PROGRAMS 561

lining the wall. They are sucked back, pinned, immobile, and we see

them starting to de-rez.

MCP:

You're very lucky, all of you. You

are participating in the creation of

the single most powerful program in

the history of the system... of all

systems...

The programs begin to disappear, one by one.

MCP:

(continuing)

A program with a will... with

ambition... a superior form of

life...

562 EXT. MCP 562

Sark stands in front of Dumont.

SARK:

Go!

Dumont's face is devoid of hope. He starts into the MCP's inner

chamber.

563 CLOSE - DUMONT'S FACE563

seeing the MCP, reacting.

564 INT. INNER CHAMBER OF MCP 564

Over Dumont's shoulder, with a view of the MCP. Zoom IN on MCP's

face.

MCP:

Welcome!

565 EXT. CARRIER BRIDGE 565

Flynn and Yori race into view. We can see two of the memory guards

in a de-rezzed, two dimensional state, disappearing completely in

the course of this scene. Flynn runs to Sark's position, looking out

the window.

FLYNN:

Check out the controls.

As Yori looks over the control conso1e.

FLYNN:

(continuing)

We're getting closer.

566 HIS POV566

Down the length of the carrier. It is de-rezzing, parts of it gone

already. We see the CPU approaching, as the carrier rises.

567 EXT. LANDSCAPE - LONG SHOT567

The carrier drifts over the edge of the mesa, high above it, whole

sections only visible as outlines.

367A EXT. MCP 567A

CAMERA MOVING FORWARD towards the MCP's beam.

568 INT. MCP - MED. SHOT - DUMONT 568

He is slowly disappearing.

MCP:

Dumont, I'm so pleased that we've

finally come to terms with one

another...

569 EXT. CPU MESA 569

Sark is standing, looking in the opening, waiting for the signal to

depart. His back is to the camera.

VOICE:

SARK!

Sark turns, curious, eyes widen incredulously..

570 SARK'S POV 570

We SEE Tron standing, legs spread, arms poised by his sides, disk in

one hand. It gives off a pure white light.

571 CLOSE UP SARK'S FACE 571
