Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow Page #4

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.

- Left again.

- We're going around in circles.

Will you just trust me? Go left!

- It's a dead end.

- That's not supposed to be there.

It's a dead end!

There's no way out!

Oh, bugger.

Joe!

- There's the lead ship.

- Shortcut!

I got us here, didn't I?

- Dex. Dex!

- Thirty seconds, Cap, that's all I need.

- Thirty seconds.

- Plus or minus.

Listen, I'll try and take them out over

the water, buy us some time. Over.

Still glad you came?

Joe, I found it! Joe!

Dex, come in. Where is it?

Come in, Dex. Are you there? Dex?

Dex, do you read me?

Dex, are you there?

I can't outrun them much longer.

Hold on.

Joe, what are you doing?

You're heading straight down!

- You're gonna kill us!

- I know what I'm doing. Just hold on.

We're going too fast.

We're not gonna make it.

Joe, you have to pull up!

Pull up!

- We went underwater.

- Dex rigged it up.

Got the idea from one

of his comic books.

You mean, you knew this

the whole time,

and you let me think

we were gonna crash?

I thought we were gonna die!

You should have said something!

Look, Polly, it was your idea

to tag along, not mine.

If you can't take it,

that's not my fault.

Oh, I can take it.

- I can take anything you dish out.

- Good.

Because that was nothing.

Dex, come in. Do you read me?

Do you read me, Dex? Copy.

Dex!

Dex!

Dex.

They're everywhere.

Joe, look out!

Dex!

Why would Totenkopf do this?

Why Dex?

It doesn't make any sense.

He was looking for something.

Dex said he knew where

the transmission was coming from.

He must have got too close.

- He was trying to tell me something...

- Joe.

Good boy, Dex.

These journals belong to Dr. Vargas.

He must have passed them on to

Dr. Jennings before his disappearance.

- My God.

- What?

"Totenkopf was awarded his first

patent when he was 12 years old.

By 17, he had already received

two doctorates

and was one of the most highly

regarded minds of his day.

One year after his disappearance,

ominous rumors began circulating.

Whispers that Totenkopf

had begun work

on what was darkly hinted

to be a doomsday device.

Efforts to locate him

have consistently failed,

and to this day, his whereabouts

remain a mystery.

Even less is known

about his companion,

an assassin who controls

his machines. "

She's the one who took Dex.

What else?

These are Unit 11 supply logs.

This is everything he's used

his machines to collect

for the last three years,

including generators from the city.

It reads like a shopping list

from all over the world.

What have you been up to, doctor?

Lt'll be all right, Joe.

Dex can look after himself.

We'll find him.

My old friend Joe.
