HOLLIS:
It's not that simple.
(off of Weir's
expression)
Lyle, play the recording for Dr.
Weir.
LYLE:
Navigation Control tried to hail the
vessel. This was the only response.
Lyle presses a button on Hollis' desk. An unholy GARBLE rips
from office speakers: STATIC and NOISE and INHUMAN VOICES.
Alone, each sound would raise the hair on your neck. Together,
they are unbearable.
The sound mercifully cuts off to STATIC. Lyle stops the tape.
Weir sits there, stunned.
LYLE:
Since the initial transmission,
there's been no further contact.
Just the beacon, every two minutes.
WEIR:
The crew? Could they still be alive?
LYLE:
The ship had life support systems
for eighteen months. They're been
gone seven years.
WEIR:
Someone sent that message. Admiral,
you have to put me on that ship.
Hollis stares at Weir, judging the man with his eyes.
HOLLIS:
It's against my better judgement,
but I'll run this by the Man
downstairs. You'll know my decision
by the end of the day.
WEIR:
Thank you.
HOLLIS:
Don't thank me, Bill. I'm not doing
you any favors.
Weir leaves. The door closes behind him.
LYLE:
You're not seriously considering
sending him?
HOLLIS:
You don't just dismiss Bill Weir.
The man held Oppenheimer's chair at
Princeton. If the Event Horizon had
worked, he would have gone down in
history as the greatest mind in
physics since Einstein.
LYLE:
The official inquiry blamed Weir's
design for the ship's loss.
HOLLIS:
That doesn't mean a damn thing. They
were looking for a scapegoat and
Weir fit the bill. But he's not
responsible for what happened to the
ship.
LYLE:
Does he know that?
HOLLIS:
What's on your mind?
LYLE:
He doesn't belong on this mission.
Responsible or not, he blames himself.
He's too close to it.
(beat)
And then there's his wife.
HOLLIS:
It's been two years since she died.
He's over it.
LYLE:
Some things you don't get over.
Beat.
HOLLIS:
I want our best people on this.
Where's Miller?
LYLE:
The Lewis and Clark just returned
from patrol in the asteroid belt,
she's docked in bay four.
CUT TO:
EXT. DAYLIGHT STATION/EXT. LEWIS AND CLARK
The Lewis and Clark pulls away from Daylight station, turns
towards the depths of space. It is a tough-looking spacecraft,
all engine.
Sequence omitted from original script.
MOVE IN on thick quartz windows near the ship's nose: the
bridge...
Split level. Above: avionics, navigation, flight control.
STARCK (female, Navigator, sharp mind, sharp tongue) checks
the navigation data on her screen as SMITH (male, Pilot,
wrapped too tight) punches in the course.
