Residue

Synopsis: An unnamed UK metropolis. The future. Renowned photojournalist JENNIFER PRESTON is investigating the aftermath of a terrible explosion that ripped through the city on New Year's Eve. Known simply as 'The Catastrophe', this shocking tragedy has left behind a festering wound. The city is on edge, thousands have evacuated and a sprawling, militarized Quarantine Zone has been erected around the epicentre of the blast. The 'QZ', as it becomes known, is a network of empty buildings and abandoned streets, shrouded beneath clinical plastic and fenced in behind impenetrable barricades. Heavily armed security units ensure that nobody goes in and nobody comes out. As unexplained and increasingly bizarre acts of violence erupt across the city, Jennifer begins to notice strange, ephemeral phantoms in her photographs. What begins as an artistic documentation of The Catastrophe's lingering aftershock soon becomes an obsession with 'The Phenomenon' - a seeming paranormal phenomenon gripping the perime

Come on, man,
it's New Year's Eve.
Aren't cops allowed to have
a good time too, Maurice?
Wouldn't it be easier
to just get the operation?
Enjoy the fireworks, mate.
I gotta account for those,
you know.
Gonna make me
come up short. Again.
( fireworks whistle
and explode )
( no audio )
( camera shutters click )
JENNIFER:
Give me home office.
Respectability. Punctuality.
JONAS:
Punctuality, okay.
JENNIFER:
Punctuality.
Give me being on time.
( camera shutters click )
Uh, yeah, is the...
( laughs )
That's the one, yeah.
What do you do again,
for a living?
Photo...
Photographer, yeah.
( techno music plays )
( woman screams excitedly )
All right, then.
( phone rings )
MAN ( over answering machine ):
It's Mathis. Leave a message.
LOUISE ( over phone ):
Dad, where are you?
I snuck out.
Mom will kill me, but so what?
It's New Year's Eve.
I thought we were
gonna celebrate together.
Anyway, call me.
I wanna see you.
( laughing )
( crowd shouting )
( fireworks whistling )
Happy New Year.
Happy New Year.
Dad. Happy New Year.
Where are you?
I'm at this horrible club.
Nightshade.
Music sucks.
( explosion )
( car alarm blaring distantly )
( dramatic theme playing )
FEMALE REPORTER:
It's been one month
since 236 people were killed
in the New Year's Eve explosion
at the Nightshade nightclub.
Authorities still can't
say for sure
how far toxic contamination
from an abandoned
weapons facility
several stories underground
has spread beyond
the blast site.
Over 5 square miles
of the city
is now a quarantine zone.
Everyone still living
within the area
has been forcibly evacuated.
We are continuing
to get reports
that more and more people
are leaving.
MAN 1 ( over radio ):
They can't tell us who did it.
They can't tell us why.
WOMAN 1 ( over radio ):
I've got friends and neighbors
who've already left, and I'm
thinking we should do the same.
MAN 2:
Something is
being kept from us.
MAN 3:
Who was responsible?
( dramatic theme playing )
You left me behind
Lost inside the enemy
In our hands
And overnight
I changed my shape
To fit with something
You won't let me out
Keep pulling me down
You kept me afraid
Until now
With your head
Full of lies
Head full of lies
Stay with me
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Head full of lies
Stay with me
Ooh
Head full of lies
When you come to mind
My love is blind
Because of you
I am unkind
With my head full of lies
Head full of lies
( sniffles )
Jen?
Couldn't sleep.
I think I'm gonna go
for a walk.
Get some dawn shots.
It's 5 in the morning.
At least have some coffee
before you go.
Don't worry, I'll be fine.
Go back to bed.
Get your beauty sleep.
Hey, hey. No pictures.
JENNIFER:
I used to know this city.
Its people.
I've spent my whole life
photographing them.
The government keeps telling us
the city's safe.
That no contamination
has spread
from the Quarantine Zone.
But it doesn't matter.
So many people have left.
Fleeing from something
they can't see.
I wanted to document what's
happening to the people here.
But since the explosion,
since the construction
of the Quarantine Zone,
my photographs are different.
We're different.
Is it despair?
Confusion?
Rage?
Fear?
Everything's changed.
Maybe forever.
JONAS:
Jesus.
JENNIFER:
It's his eyes.
They look right through you.
See you later.
( baby crying )
( techno music throbbing
through walls )
( shushing )
Don't he do nothing
but scream and shit?
He's got a cold, Benny.
( buzzing )
MARIA:
Benny, it's Mom.
Can you let her in?
Benny, she's gonna get soaked.

John Harrison

John Harrison (3 April [O.S. 24 March] 1693 – 24 March 1776) was a self-educated English carpenter and clockmaker who invented a marine chronometer, a long-sought-after device for solving the problem of calculating longitude while at sea. His solution revolutionized navigation and greatly increased the safety of long-distance sea travel. The problem he solved was considered so important following the Scilly naval disaster of 1707 that the British Parliament offered financial rewards of up to £20,000 (equivalent to £2.89 million today) under the 1714 Longitude Act.In 1730, Harrison presented his first design, and worked over many years on improved designs, making several advances in time-keeping technology, finally turning to what were called, sea watches. Harrison gained support from the Longitude Board in building and testing his designs. Toward the end of his life, he received recognition and a reward from Parliament. Harrison came 39th in the BBC's 2002 public poll of the 100 Greatest Britons. more…
