Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow Page #3

Synopsis: In 1939, an intrepid reporter in New York City makes a connection between the story she's covering -- of famous scientists suddenly disappearing around the world, and a recent attack on the city by giant robots. Determined to find the solution to these happenings, she seeks the help of her ex-boyfriend, the captain of a mercenary legion of pilots. The two are investigating the case when the robots attack the city again, though in a stroke of luck, Sky Captain's right-hand man is able to locate their source. They then set off on an adventure in search of the evil mastermind behind these schemes, who is bent on creating a utopia and destroying the current world.

I was hoping you could tell me.

Dr. Jennings!

You must stop him!

Stay here.

Stop!

I don't wanna hurt you.

- Miss Perkins.

- I'm here, doctor.

- I'm going to get you some help.

- You must promise.

If Totenkopf finds them,

the countdown will begin.

- This world shall end.

- I don't understand, doctor. Find what?

Promise.

He's dead.

I think I found something.

Dr. Jennings had this with him

this morning at the theater.

- I'd better get back to the base.

- I'm coming with you.

Of course you are.

Reconnaissance picked up something

on radar traveling at over 500 knots

and coming straight for us.

- How long before they reach us?

- There!

Get my plane ready. I'm going up.

- What are you doing?

- I'm coming with you.

Don't be stupid. Remember what

happened last time you flew with me?

- We had a deal.

- This is not a game, Polly.

- People are gonna die.

- You are not leaving me, Joe.

Not this time. This is my story,

and we had a deal!

Go, go, go!

Get in.

There you are.

- Cap, this is Dex, do you read me?

- Hang on, Dex, I'm a little busy.

Come in, Dex.

Look, whatever you do, don't shoot!

- Okay.

- You shot it, didn't you?

- Yes.

- Listen, Cap,

the signal's coming

from one of those machines.

You gotta keep them

in one piece.

Which machine is it, Dex?

There's no way of telling.

It could be any one of them.

I think I found it, Dex.

- Wait, Cap, I'm losing the signal.

- It's heading for the city.

Don't let it get away. I need you

to bounce that signal back to me.

If we lose it now,

we may never get it back.

You let me know when

you've got something, Dex.

I'll let you know. Out.

All right, I want a full-spectrum sweep

of every incoming signal.

Amplify any variant frequency cycle

and route them to me.

They've come back

for the generators.

Who is this guy?

- You okay?

- Great.

There's a bottle of Milk of Magnesia

under the seat if you need it.

- I'm fine.

- You don't look so good.

Pull up!

- Joe!

- I see it!

It's getting away.

- I lost the signal, Cap.

- I'll find him, Dex. Sit tight.

- Go left.

- Sit back, Polly.

There's a shortcut down Broadway.

You can catch him on 42nd Street.

I know these streets like the back

of my hand. Go left!

Hey!

Okay, okay, now go straight.

- No, no, no, go right!

- When?

Back there.

I could use a little more warning

next time.

Go left!

Tell me you got something, Dex.

We're getting clobbered up here.

It's no picnic down here either, Cap.

Hang in there, I've almost got it.

Joe!

Dex! We can't hold them off

any longer!

- I'm almost there.

- We have to evacuate now!

Go ahead without me.

I'm right behind you.

- Lovely.

- Okay, turn left at the drugstore.
