Godzilla Page #3

He goes through his pockets looking for his permits.

MALE VOICE (O.S.)

Dr. Nick Topopolosis?

Tatopoulos looks up as the Russian soldiers move past

him and over towards his cases of equipment. A man in a

long raincoat comes forward.

NICK:

It's Tatopoulos.

TERRINGTON:

The worm guy, right?

(extending his hand as he

approaches)

Kyle Terrington, U.S. State

Department.

The Russian soldiers close up his equipment and take it

off to the Helicopter.

NICK:

What are they doing?

TERRINGTON:

You've been reassigned.

NICK:

You can't shut me down now! My

research here's not finished!

TERRINGTON:

It is now.

CUT TO:

12 EXT. PAPEETE - TAHITI - STREET - DAY12

Coastal town of Papeete, Tahiti. With the ocean in the

distance, through the heat waves we SEE a row of

official looking black sedans coming toward us.

13 EXT. PAPEETE HOSPITAL - CONTINUOUS - DAY13

The doors to the sedans open as a group of very official

looking Government types. Stopping to light his

cigarette is PHILLIP RAYMOND, 40's, intense, dangerous

and worst of all...French.

14 INT. HOSPITAL HALLWAY - MOMENTS LATER - DAY14

Raymond leads the official looking group down the hall.

A BRIEFING OFFICER rushes over. (The following dialog is

entirely in French with subtitles)

BRIEFING OFFICER

The Japanese consulate has been

calling and we've been getting

pressure from the Americans.

RAYMOND:

What did you tell them?

BRIEFING OFFICER

Nothing yet.

RAYMOND:

Are there any other survivors?

BRIEFING OFFICER

Only one, Sir. He was very lucky.

The group arrives at a door at the end of the hall. The

Briefing Officer opens the door.

RAYMOND'S P.O.V. - THROUGH OPEN DOOR

In the corner of the large room we see the old Cook from

the tanker curled up in the fetal position. The doctors

and a few nurses are attending to him.

RAYMOND:

Get them out of there.

Two of the Officials move in and escort the Doctors and

Nurses out of the room. Raymond nods to two other

Officials who begin to unpack some recording equipment,

including a video camera.

15 INT. HOSPITAL ROOM - SAME15

Raymond enters and moves close to the old Cook, kneeling

down in front of him, inspecting his distant glare. The

old Cook seems to be in a world of his own, rocking back

and forth. Raymond nods to another Official who comes

forward.

RAYMOND:

(in French)

Ask him what happened.

The Second Official ask him in Japanese, but the old

Cook does not respond. He asks again but the old Cook

seems to be in a world of his own.

BRIEFING OFFICER

(in English)

It's no use. He's been like this since

we fished him out of the ocean.

Whatever happened to that tanker put

him in a complete state of shock.
