PRELUDE

SFX: DRONE OF B-29 SUPERFORTRESS BOMBER,

Sub title: August 6, 1945, 26,000 feet over HiroshimaJapan

FADE IN:

INT. B-29 SUPERFORTRESS CABIN - DAY 1

COLONEL PAUL TIBBETS, JR., looking out the windows of theSuperfortress to the city of Hiroshima below, turns to hisco-pilot, pushes a microphone to his throat before speakingto the mission bombardier, MAJOR THOMAS FEREBEE.

COLONEL TIBBETSOpen bomb-bay doors.

MAJOR FEREBEE (V.O.)Roger.

Ferebee flips a switch opening bomb-bay doors. Daylightpours into the belly of the plane illuminating an oversized, odd looking bomb poised above the opening.

COLONEL TIBBETS(V.O.)On your mark.

Ferebee looks down through sights, then looks at a black andwhite aerial photo of target area, looks back into the

sights, pauses, then presses the bomb release button.

EXT. SKY - DAY 2

The bomb drops from the belly of the plane. A risingwhistling sound ensues as it falls to the city below.

ANGLE ON: NOSE OF B-29 - DAY

Move in on the name "ENOLA GAY" painted on the side of thecraft as the whistling of the bomb fades into silence and aslow motion blinding white flash dissolves the scene.

Thunder rumbles low, dissolving into the radio broadcastsounds of crowds cheering, replete with static common toradio of that time. Sub-Title: "August 14, 1945 V.J. Day"

RADIO ANNOUNCER(V.O.)"The Japanese have surrendered! TheJapanese have surrendered! WorldWar II is over!

Happy Pandemonium! The V-J Day ticker-tape parade in NewYork City, as ticker tape, and confetti is falling into thestreets. Hats are thrown in the air, civilians cheering,people kissing almost randomly.

INT. PENTAGON CORRIDOR - DAY 3

People make way for GENERAL LESLIE R. GROVES who movespurposefully down a corridor. Groves approaches a conferenceroom and two guards open double doors and we enter the room.Seated at a large table are military and civilians. Theatmosphere is tense. Groves approaches the podium and bangsa gavel to bring the meeting to order.

GENERAL GROVES(With stern authority)

Gentlemen, the Manhattan projectunlocked the atom and with it weve

put an end to the war.(The group applauds.)We now hold a terrible power. Weare obligated to do everythingreasonable, and unreasonable, tokeep it out of the wrong hands. Onereason for this meeting is toinform you of the decision to endThe Other Project so we can focusall of our efforts on furtherdevelopment of what the ManhattanProject has given us.

Some civilians present begin to voice objections.

GENERAL GROVES (CONTD)(Adamantly!)

I understand your passion for yourwork, but The Other Project iscancelled! However, it is stillabove-top-secret! You will mentionyour work to no-one! You will bere-assigned or released to yourcivilian occupations. As far aseach of you is concerned, from this

moment forward The Other Project

never existed!

Muted grumbling from the civilians communicates extremedissatisfaction with the decision.

INT. TOP SECRET DESERT FACILITY - DAY 4

Banks of electronics with old-timey dials, toggle switches,meters, and harnesses of wires sitting on massive woodentables in a large room. A young CARL SONTAGG, walking with alimp, moves alongside one bank of equipment. He picks up anondescript object, looks at it then distractedly puts itdown and moves on. Sontagg reaches to a power switch on an

instrument panel, hesitates, then flips the switch to the"ON" position. The switch clicks but nothing happens. Thereis no power to the equipment. He flips it back off. The dooropens and another young man, PETER MARTIN, hefting abackpack, enters.

PETER MARTIN(pleasantly)

Hey, Carl! I thought Id catch youhere.

Peter puts his backpack on a workbench and looks to Carl.

PETER MARTIN(CONTD)How about that ride up to thefoothills?

CARL SONTAGG(disappointed)

Theyve already taken thegenerators.

(Sontagg clenches a fist.)This project shouldnt have beencanceled. The new science should beput to better use than building

bombs.

PETER MARTINYeah, well. The bombs did end the

war.

Peter looks distractedly away from Carl, not wanting todiscuss the cancellation of the project yet again.

CARL SONTAGGDo you realize how close we were tocracking this thing?

PETER MARTINWell get there yet, Carl. Itllhappen.

CARL SONTAGGWe cant even discuss the project.They dont want anyone to know itever existed!

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED: 4.

PETER MARTINWell, we both know it existed. Intime it will resurface. The work

will be done.

A low ranking military official enters the room.

LOW RANKING FIGURE

Were ready to crate thisequipment.

PETER MARTINCome on, Carl, lets go.

Peter slings his backpack over a shoulder and leaves.

EXT. SECRET DESERT BASE - DAY 5

In the background, work crews load crates of stuff into

trucks. Peters backpack has been gone through and he repacks the last item and straps a buckle, then slings it overhis shoulder as he turns away from the MPs. Carl limpsalongside Peter as they make their way to the car.

CARL SONTAGGIts sloppy. Ripping atoms apart todestroy things. It doesnt have tobe this way. Just a little more

work on field control and wewouldve cracked it.

Peter looks away in exasperated avoidance of the subject. He

puts his backpack in the backseat, shuts the door and opensthe front door to get in before acknowledging Carl.

PETER MARTINWe made good progress, Carl. Just afew more pieces of the puzzle andthe whole world wouldve beenchanged in a completely different

way.

INT. CAR - DAY 6

Carl Sontagg reaches through the open car window andretrieves pass papers from a gate guard and drives away.

CARL SONTAGG(Rubbing his bad knee)

Whats it like, Peter? Hikingthrough wilderness for a week at atime?

(CONTINUED)


7/105

CONTINUED: 5.

PETER MARTINIts great. Life is bigger than theproblems we come up with. When Iget out there I get a new angle onthings.

CARL SONTAGG

Is that how you came up with thereciprocity principle?

PETER MARTINYeah. That puzzle had me in knots.When I took a hike and forgot aboutit the solution was just there. I

was too focused on the problem tosee the answer. I was just gazinginto a campfire when it allunfolded.

Peter gazes out the window with a far-away look in his eyes,then continues.

PETER MARTIN (CONTD)When we finally learn exactly whatthese energy fields are and how tocontrol them, things really willchange.

CARL SONTAGG(with passion)

When you start teaching, go afterthose missing pieces. Promise you

wont forget.

PETER MARTINI couldnt forget if I tried, Carl.Its in my blood now. But you knowits all above top secret. The bomband the need for secrecy haseveryone spooked.

CARL SONTAGG(low, with determination)

I wont let our work die like this.Im sticking with it no matter

what!

PETER MARTINTake it easy, Carl. Let thingssettle down and the secrecy orders

will be lifted. This stuff is toogood to keep under wraps. Ten yearsfrom now, instead of bumping along

EXT. VINEYARD - DAY 14

Cody flies the chopper into a tight turn, tilts forward andaccelerates quickly, rising sharply at a hill.

INT. CROP DUSTER - DAY 15

The orchard falls away, sky and clouds fill the scene, thechopper crests its ascent, curls into a graceful turn,points toward a ranch-house and outbuilding nearby and divestowards them. Buzz reacts!

BUZZ(Angry)

Damn it, Cody you dont have to flylike youre being shot at everytime you take the stick.

Codys smile, and enthusiasm quickly fades and the choppersettles down and continues to fly towards home.

BUZZ (CONTD)This isnt one of your models. Youcrack this up and were out ofbusiness, or dead! Treat machines

with respect.

Below, two young boys behind the barn are fiddling with somecontraption as the chopper overflies and passes it. Thehelipad approaches as we come in for a landing.

EXT. BEHIND THE BARN - DAY 16

DILLAN and RALPH, are working to bring a rattletrap of ago-cart to life. One boy holds a baby food jar as the otherfills it with gas from a gas can. The jar is overfilled andgas spills over the boys hands.

DILLANWhoa, Ralph. Thats enough.

RALPHSorry.

Dillan takes the jar of gas and screws it onto a lidattached to the underside of the carburetor. When the jar ofgas is in place, Dillan wipes his hands on his shorts andthe boys start to put on the drive-belt.

Dillan leans down to push the go-cart forward, invitingRalph to climb on.

RALPHSince its your brothers go-cart,

why dont you go first?

DILLANSounds good to me! I was beingnice.

RALPHWhatever happens, Dillan, dontlean back okay?

Dillan looks behind him at the exposed flywheel and stiffensup, pulling himself forward a little. He grabs the steering

wheel which is attached to an unsupported shaft, and hepoises himself for start-up.

EXT. HELIPAD - DAY 17

Buzz and Cody are tieing down the helicopter, Buzz stillchastising Cody for his irresponsible ways.

BUZZRespect machines. Dont abuse them.

CODYI know Dad, but you dont have tobe so serious all the time.

BUZZWhen lives are at stake you betterbe serious!

Buzz finishes his tie down and walks away. Cody walkstowards the barn and sees Ralph starting to push the go cartand realizes whats about to happen. He pulls off hissunglasses and starts moving quickly toward them.

EXT. RANCH - DAY 18

Ralph strains pushing the go-cart with Dillan on it. Theengine turns over several times before it starts up. Theun-muffled engine roars to life, sending Dillan racing awayjust before Cody reaches the scene. Cody grabs a nearbybicycle and chases his little brother who is on a verydangerous machine that Cody built many years before. Dillanis seated on a flat sheet of metal with no back support, noseat belt. The driveway is partially paved, with potholes

and gravel fills. When he hits gravel the cart vibrateshorribly. He veers off the driveway to dodge potholes, andhas to dodge shrubs and trees and Cody chases after.Reaching the end of the driveway, Dillan slides into aU-turn, flings stones across the street and raises a dustcloud. He heads back up the driveway and Cody veers out ofthe way to avoid a head-on collision, then turns and resumes

the chase. Dillans shirt-tails, flapping in the breeze, getcaught in the exposed flywheel which rips the shirt, tearingit neatly across at breast level, and proceeds to slap himin the back with the rags. Dillan REACTS! holleringexaggerated shock. Dillan hits a couple smaller potholes

which loosen the baby-food jar gas tank. The baby-food jaris now vibrating and turning slightly loose.

Dillan gets back on smooth pavement and the cart acceleratesrapidly, the sound of the engine screams a louder, higherpitched whine. Dillan turns right at a turn off to the mainhouse, again flinging gravel. In an experimental garden to

one side of the driveway are scarecrows made frommannequins. The expression on the mannequins face is"Scared!". (Edward Munch, "The Scream" is one expression.

Another is throwing up its hands!) Approaching the mainhouse Dillan again does a U-turn which causes the go-cart torise up on two wheels and threaten to overturn. Dillan putshis foot out to prevent the roll-over, the cart slams backto the ground, and Dillan goes back the way he came. AgainCody veers and misses a collision. Dillan speeds up too fastto make the turn at the end of the drive and jumps a bump atthe side of the driveway sending the cart into the air. Itlands with a rattley-whump, the baby-food jar gas tank fallsoff and the engine quits just as the go-cart rams a

mannequin scarecrow which then falls on Dillan then to theground, and Dillan slumps over the floppy steering wheel,totally spent. Cody races up, drops the bike and runs toDillan.

CODYDillan! Are you okay?

Dillan lifts his head and smiles broad and ecstatic in hisadrenaline soaked exhaustion.

DILLANGaaah! That was so much fun!

CODYWhats the matter with you? Youcouldve gotten killed on thatthing! It couldve torn you topieces! You should treat machines

with more respect!

(CONTINUED)


14/105

CONTINUED: 12.

DILLANWhat are you gettin so worked upabout, Cody? You built it and rodeit just like it is.... Mostly...

Cody puts the scarecrow back upright.

CODYThat was a long time ago. Besides,if I thought anyone else was stupidenough to ride this I wouldvegotten rid of it.

SFX: Rumble of Jets getting louder in approach and passingthunderously fast and low overhead.

A formation of three military jets streak very low overhead,quickly disappearing in the distance. Cody and Dillan whiparound and watch them with rapt attention.

DILLANCool! What kind of jets were those,Cody?

CODYAwesome jets... Id love to fly oneof those babies some day.

Ralph jogs up filled with excitement and joins them.

RALPHOh man that was cool! Its my turn

next!

CODYThere arent any more turns!

RALPHOh man! Thats not fair.

DILLANCome on, Cody!

CODYIm serious. This things too

dangerous.

DILLANOh man, this thing is way cool.

RALPHOh man, I didnt even get a turn.

15/105

CONTINUED: 13.

CODYLook, if you guys promise to leavethis thing alone, you can fly myR/C planes.

DILLANOh man, this thing is way cool.

RALPHMaybe it is too dangerous. Look

what it did to your shirt.

Dillan looks at the remains of his shirt wrapped around theflywheel and slumps, recognizing finally that the cart is infact too dangerous.

RALPH(CONTD)Lets do it, Dillan. Codys R/Cairplanes are way cool!

DILLAN(begrudgingly)All right.

CODYDad would kill me if you got hurton this rattletrap.

Cody pulls the fan-belt off the axle pulley, lifts the frontend and begins pulling the cart. Ralph walks the bike besideDillan and they head towards the barn. As they proceed wesee several scarecrow mannequins in the experimentalgardens, each with exaggerated expressions and poses.

RALPH(renewed excitement)

Did you guys see those jets? Theywere way cool! I bet they wereheading to that secret base in thedesert.

DILLANGaaah! They were awesome! Hey Cody,Jimmy up the street says they havetop secret aircraft at that

military base in the desert. Is

that true?

CODY(distracted)

I guess if I had secret aircraft,that would be a good place to keepem.

RALPHIf Jimmy knows about a top secretbase in the desert it cant be verytop secret.

EXT. DESERT - DUSK 19

The formation of three jets approach in the sky over theNevada desert. The sun is below and behind the mountainridge to the west. The jets pass low overhead and proceed toa secret military base beyond a perimeter fence with a signreading "U.S. GOVERNMENT PROPERTY, NO TRESPASSING, USE OFDEADLY FORCE AUTHORIZED".

EXT. AREA 51 - TWILIGHT 20

The jets parked on tarmac, canopies raised, refuelling truck

on the scene. Walking tall, the pilots head toward a groundvehicle to take them to the base. Doors on a hangar begin toopen and the pilots slow their pace then stop to watch. Ablack disc shaped craft emerges. The peculiar craft hovers,tilts slightly, then takes off in a fast, silent, steepclimb eastward. Without slowing, the craft changes directionby ninety degrees, still climbing, still accelerating, stillsilent. The pilots stand motionless and watch in awe as thecraft disappears into the darkening sky. Suddenly they dontappear to be the Top Guns they were a moment before. Theirshoulders appear a bit rounded, they seem a bit obsolete.

INT. AREA 51 - FURTHER TWILIGHT 21

Another black disc shaped craft hovers over a test bed. Aharness of wires is attached to the craft. A console ofequipment, computers, and monitors manned by a row oftechnicians in white coats, is over to one side. Atechnician goes from monitor to monitor taking notes. CarlSontagg and Rykoff watch from behind.

DR. SONTAGGGeneral, the anomaly that causedthe crash is directly attributableto the on board particle-beam

weaponry. The laser beams dontdisrupt the energy fields enough tocause the problem but, particlebeams do!

RYKOFFSo what are the options, Professor?

SFX: Evening news on television in background. Reporterdiscussing recent effects of yet another oil tanker spill.Telephone rings again.

Buzz Thompson enters the kitchen and answers the phone as it

begins to ring yet again. INSERT: A framed photo of Buzz asa young M.A.S.H. pilot, with his co-pilot in Vietnam hangingon the wall. Also on the wall, a framed newspaper article"Thompson Team Spraying Micro nutrients For Bigger & BetterYields" Subtitled: "Depleted Soils Lack Trace MineralsNecessary for Healthy Plants".

BUZZHello? Hi Mr. Beringer. Yes, thefoliar feed fights the effects ofsmog, among other things. (pause)Thats right, no petrochemicals.

Yes, we replace depleted traceminerals too. Healthier plantsfight disease better. (pause) I canhave an estimate for you bytomorrow. Ill call you in theafternoon.

Buzz hangs up the phone and heads out the back door.

EXT. BARN - NIGHT 24

Buzz walking to the barn doesnt notice the beauty of the

night-sky. The illuminated windsock dances in the gentlebreeze.

INT. BARN - NIGHT 25

Buzz enters the open side door. INSERT: Well lit workbencheswith projects in various stages of completion. Hanging fromthe rafters and pegboards are R/C airplanes and helicopters.Some of the models are badly smashed. More mannequins areoff in a corner. Music playing softly through big outdoor

megaphone style speakers hanging on a structural post.Shelves hold boxes of interesting stuff; A case of flares,

gallon cans of automotive paint. A wide assortment of toolshere and there. On another side are fertilizers and tanks. Alot of fairly organized stuff.

BUZZ(trying to make nice)

When are you going to paint it?

CODY

(not yet ready to be friends)When I get the final design lockeddown. I may have to do more welds.

BUZZUh-huh... What time are you headingback to school in the morning?

Cody pushes the battery in place and shuts the access paneland moves to the engine compartment. Inside the enginecompartment everything is altered. It is now a very high

mileage electric-hybrid-plug-in vehicle. Theres an electric

motor in it instead of a gas engine.CODY

Around seven. I have plenty time toget there. My first class isntuntil ten.

BUZZYou better head out early in casethe generator gives you moretrouble.

CODY

I allowed for that! Why do youalways have to tell me what to do?

Father and son are in a standoff. Neither one knowing whatto say or do next. Codys father looks away beforecontinuing.

BUZZIts part of being a dad. Its what

we do. Hard to stop.

Buzzs explanation seems to resolve the matter for themoment and they both relax a little.

BUZZ (CONTD)Howre your classes coming along?

PROFESSOR MARTINRight then.

Professor Martin lifts the prop over the array of fieldcontrol pods and lets go of it. The prop floats two feetover the "flower". It begins to wobble slightly then wobbles

more and more and the computer beeps faster and faster.

Shortly the prop flips off to one side and falls to thefloor. Martin reaches for it but it bounces beyond him androlls away.

PROFESSOR MARTIN (CONTD)Oops! Well, it is a work inprogress but it shows greatpromise.

STEVE SYKESThat was wonderful Professor! Weall wish you best of luck in your

work and look forward to the daywhen we can get in our cars and putthem on automatic. Sit tight and

INT. CAFE - NIGHT 29

Sontagg writes on his napkin, "Paul Martin, U.C. Berkeley".The waitress returns with the coffee pot and Sontagg looksup at her and asks;

EXT. U.C.B. - DAY 30

The bus is running erratically, surging forward with fitsand starts as Cody drives into the parking lot and pullsinto an empty space. He taps at a gauge on the custominstrument panel then taps again and shuts it off.

INT. U.C.B. - DAY 31

The hallways are jammed with students bustling to and fromclasses. Cody passes a bulletin board, stops and turns backto look at it more closely.

CHERYL GAINER standing on the other side of the hallwaytalking to another student notices Cody and watches him.CLOSE ON BULLETIN BOARD: Various notices, items for sale,vehicles, books, computers, rooms, room-mates wanted, etc.Various tutors available. CLOSE ON NOTICE OF MATH TUTOR

AVAILABLE: Math Tutoring available, all levels, varioushours. (This on an 8-1/2 by 11 sheet of paper. The bottomedge of the notice is cut into strips with a phone number oneach strip.)

Cheryl notices Cody looking intently at her notice andwatches as Cody tugs at one of the tabs but inadvertentlypulls the whole notice off the bulletin board. He stuffs itin his pocket and starts to walk away. Cheryl REACTS!

CHERYL(loud!)

Hey!

Cody doesnt hear her and continues to walk away. Cherylplunges into the current of young bodies and makes her wayquickly to grab Cody by the arm and spin him around.

CODYWha.. Huh?

CHERYLWho do you think you are? You canttake my notice off the bulletinboard like that! You jerk!

INT. U.C.B. PHYSICS SHOP - DAY 33

Cody enters against a stream of students leaving.

ANGLE ON: The mock-up, Cheryl closing her laptop computerand unplugging it from the setup. Professor Martin picks upa pile papers. Cheryl looks up and sees Cody. She turns toProfessor Martin to speak.

CHERYLIf you dont need me Ive got astudent to tutor.

Professor Martin, looking through the papers mutters;

PROFESSOR MARTINNo, go ahead. I need to scare upsome research funding.

P.O.V. OVER CODYS SHOULDER

Cheryl, laptop computer under her arm, heads toward Codywith a terse, business-like demeanor.

Cody stops, smiles sheepishly and looks down at the floor amoment. Cheryl comes closer, stops and looking past hisshoulder asks:

CHERYLCan I help you?

Sontagg is behind Cody. Cody begins to speak.

CODY

Well, yeah, about that tutoring..

CHERYLNot you.

She turns back toward Sontagg. Cody somewhat confused, looksbehind him, sees Sontagg and steps aside.

DR. SONTAGGIs a Professor Paul Martin here?

CHERYLThats him right there.

DR. SONTAGG

Thank you.

Sontagg moves toward Paul Martin still at his desk scanningpapers. Cheryls watches him and as Sontagg passes the

mock-up he stops to admire it. Cheryl steps up beside himand Cody drifts along with her.

DR. SONTAGG (CONTD)I believe I saw this on television.

CHERYLOh, you saw that did you?

If anything the device is over-engineered. Its very solidlymade, heavy bolts and heavy wires. Kinda crude.

DR. SONTAGGIt appears to be very solid.

CHERYLYes, but its surprisinglyefficient. it doesnt take muchenergy to operate.

Professor Martin, sensing a potential benefactor, approaches

and introduces himself, extending his hand to Sontagg. Codyremains an outsider.

PROFESSOR MARTINHello. Im Professor Martin.

DR. SONTAGGIm very pleased to meet you,Professor. I saw a demonstration ofyour device on television. It wasvery exciting. Perhaps I may beable to contribute to your work.

PROFESSOR MARTINOh? Would you like a demonstration?

Martin is hoping this is a potential benefactor!

PROFESSOR MARTIN (CONTD)Cheryl has been working out thecomputer controls. Of course

PROFESSOR MARTIN (CONTD) (contd)adequate research funding is alwaysa challenge.

CODY(quetly to Cheryl)

Hey, about that tutoring...

CHERYL(quietly to Cody:)

Pay attention. You mightaccidentally learn something.

(then to Professor Martin.)Id be happy to give ademonstration.

Cheryl opens her laptop computer, and plugs in a cableleading to the mock-up. She puts on an air of importance inorder to impress the barbarian at the gate (Cody).

PROFESSOR MARTINSome students tried an analogcontrol. Its that joystick therebut no one could keep the ball upso to speak.

Beside Cheryls laptop is a joystick, or collective from ahelicopter simulation system mounted on the table. The wiresfrom the collective merge with the harness of wires comingfrom Cheryls computer and lead to the device.

CHERYL

Okay, Professor. Im all set here.

PROFESSOR MARTINOkay then.

Cheryl flips a switch and Professor Martin positions theobject over the device, lets go of it and it floats. Thesame thing happens as on television; it starts to wobble.

CLOSE ON THE LAPTOP SCREEN: Activity on the display picks upas the computer tries to compensate and correct for the

wobble. A beeping noise speeds up and rises in tone.

The object wobbles faster and faster. The beeping noisereaches a fevered crescendo and the object is tossed off thedevice. Paul Martin and Sontagg turn to retrieve it. Cody

moves closer to Cheryl and looks over her shoulder.

DR. SONTAGGAhh, a wonderful demonstration.

(CONTINUED)


32/105

CONTINUED: 30.

Paul Martin returns with the object and sets it down in acradle on the table beside the device.

PROFESSOR MARTINIm glad you liked it. What kind of

work do you do?

DR. SONTAGGOh, I apologize for not introducing

myself properly. My name is Dr.Carl Sontagg. I too have beenresearching the phenomenon we callthe field.

Paul Martin furrows his brow trying to bring forth a distantmemory. He scrutinizes Sontagg a little closer.

Cheryl turns her back to Cody and moves to the opposite sideof the table to listen closer as the two men quietly get

acquainted. Cody picks up the object that had just beenfloating, hefts it and looks it over. Cody holds the objectover the petal device with one hand and grabs the joystick

with his other hand. He lets go of the object and it floats.Cody casually, and effortlessly, keeps the ball levitating.Professor Martin sees him first and stares in amazement at

what Cody is able to do. Sontagg then turns and watches aswell. Cheryl whips around to see Cody effortlessly floatingthe ball over the device for much longer than her computerprogram was able to. Its obviously no trouble at all forCody to do this.

CHERYL

Oh, my gosh!

Cody is suddenly aware that he is being watched andmaneuvers the object so it is tossed from over the devicetowards him and he catches it deftly, and quickly puts itback into its cradle.

CODYSorry. I didnt think youd mind.

PROFESSOR MARTINNo, no. Not at all. We didnt thinkanyone could do that.

CODYIts not as tricky as flying ahelicopter. No wind in here and..

PROFESSOR MARTINOh, uh, no... its just that I...

CHERYLI think we are all in accord withyour intentions Dr. Sontagg.

CODYThis is great! What if we usedsomething heavier? You know, putsomething on top of it?

DR. SONTAGGOnce an object is within thegenerated field, increased weightis of little consequence.

CHERYLYou mean we could get on top of itand it would still hover?

DR. SONTAGGYes, yes, of course. Go ahead, theboth of you. Get on top of it.

Cheryl and Professor Martin sit on the device as Cody hoversthe machine just as before.

DR. SONTAGG(CONTD)Ten times your combined weight

would have negligible effect.

Cody lowers the demo to the floor, the riders stand up.

CODYHow soon do you want to show itoff?

DR. SONTAGGI would do it yesterday, if Icould.

CODYI cant do that but I have an ideafor a demo that might be prettygood.

They all turn to Cody and wait for him to continue.

CODY(CONTD)We stick this thing under myproject bus and levitate that! Itshybrid electric so we can plug intothe onboard power. Theres plenty

room underneath for these pods, andwe can even get inside during thedemo. Itd give people a good ideaof what this can be used for.

DR. SONTAGGThat sounds like a good idea. Wouldit be possible to get it on thattelevision program so everyone cansee it?

PROFESSOR MARTIN

I can call Steve Sykes. Hes alwayslooking for something exciting, andthis is certainly exciting!

DR. SONTAGGHow soon can we be ready to givethis demonstration?

They look at one another for an answer then turn to Cody.

CODYWith the right tools and everyonehelping, Im guessing a few hours.

Why the rush?

DR. SONTAGGThere comes a time when things haveto be pushed through withoutfurther delay. I promise you, thisis one of those times.

EXT. U.C.B. SHOP - DUSK 36

Cody and Cheryl approach the bus. Cody gets in but Cherylstops after opening the passenger door and notices for the

DR. SONTAGGExcellent. Thank you, Professor.You dont know what this means to

me. A public demonstration. Anirrefutable public demonstration iscrucial. No more delay. No moredelay!

PROFESSOR MARTINRight!

Cheryl closes the roll-up door to the shop, Cody gets out of

the bus and pushes a workbench out of the way.

CODYI know it doesnt look like much onthe outside, but it gets good

mileage.

Cody opens the engine hatch and shows his handywork.

CODYI got rid of the original engine,put in an army surplus jet enginestarter motor and a bank of lithium

ion batteries. Plug it in to chargebatteries for short trips, and (hetouches a small, common gas poweredemergency generator) this generatorkeeps the batteries topped up onlong hauls. The controller is homebrew and needs improving, I thinkitll work for us though.

awesome tour of the Grand Canyon. The tour with thesoundtrack lasts for several exhilarating minutes.

As the uplifting tour comes close to an end, Cody flies up asteep side of the canyon, passes the edge and proceeds awayfrom the canyon about seven or eight feet from the ground.

As he passes over a copse of tall shrubs the electricalsystem flickers and fails and the bus falls. The foliagecushions their landing.

Cheryl screams and the rest of them are quite startled asthey drop into the greenery. The generator is quiet and the

bus winds up at a crazy angle.CHERYL

What happened?

Cheryl hands a small thumb drive to Sontagg.

EXT. AREA 51 - NIGHT 122

The bus floats to within fifty yards of the side of the

hangar and settles to the ground with wheels still up. Codygets out and starts to go around to the other side of thebus as a coyote howls in the distance. It startles him andhe accidentally bumps the side-view mirror to face almostsideways to the bus. Cody doesnt notice and he joinsSontagg and they proceed to the hangar.


Cody and Sontagg sneak along the hangar. Cody peeks around acorner and sees a guard stubbing out a cigarette. Cody pullsback quick, motioning Sontagg to stop, then carefully

watches as the guard turns, opens the door and enters thehangar. The automatic door closer moves slowly and Codyrushes forward, reaches in his pocket, then slips thecampground registration card in the doorjamb at the striketo prevent the door from locking.


The door closes with a soft thud without the click sound,without the echo. The guard walking across the room slowshis pace, turns his head up to the right a moment, not sure

what hes just become aware of, then continues to where the

other guard is stationed.

FIRST GUARDLets check the lower levels.

The guards head into a corridor off the main hanger.

Cody opens the door a crack and looks in, then opens itfurther, puts his head in, then opens the door wide enoughto enter and Sontagg goes through the door then motions Codyto follow.


The intruders cross the hangar to the test platform wherethey can see the black flying saucers in the racks. Cody isawestruck.

CODYHoly schlamoly! Look at thosethings!

Sontagg turns on a monitor and sticks the thumb drive into a

USB port. Sontagg navigates screens on the monitor. Onescreen shows an image of the rack with the saucers. Blinkinglights show they are disconnected from the system.

DR. SONTAGG (CONTD)Cody, we need to pimp thosesaucers. In back of each one youllfind a wire harness with a FireWireplug on the end of it. Youll finda small hatch on each saucer. Openthe hatch and plug in the wire.

Cody nods and slips off towards the parked saucers. Sontagg

begins downloading data into the thumbdrive.

Cody slips behind the row of three saucers on the bottomlevel. He finds a wire and feels around on the surface ofthe saucer, finds the hatch, pops it open, plugs in the wireand moves to the next saucer. Meanwhile, an indicator on the

monitor shows the download to the thumbdrive in progress.

SFX: A DOOR OPENING AND FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING.

Sontagg ducks down under the desk.

The guards pass within a few feet of Sontagg, and continue

toward a door. One goes through the door and the other turnsand walks toward the rack of saucers.

The main computer screen shows the window with the rack ofsaucers and indicates all saucers are now connected.

Cody hears the guard approaching and quickly ducks down. Inhis haste he doesnt notice he accidentally tugs the wire

from the last saucer and it comes loose and dangles. Codyhides and the guard passes him. The guard leaves through adoor at the opposite end of the hangar. Cody moves silentlyback towards the platform.

Sontagg looks up to see the download of The Other Projectfiles to the thumbdrive is done and he quickly uploads a

small fractal file into the saucers. Cody sprints to meetSontagg and they leave the platform. They head out the doorthey came in. As the door shuts the second guard comes outof a corridor on the level of the platform, hears the doorclick, moves quickly across the platform, sees the monitoris on and rushes to the door.


Cody and Sontagg are running to the bus when the side doorto the hangar opens and the guard comes out with his sidearm

drawn. He shoots at them, then fires again.Sontagg is closest to the bus with Cody close behind. Athird shot rings out and Sontagg falls. Cody comes to hisside and kneels down beside him. Sontagg gives the thumbdrive to Cody.

DR. SONTAGGFull disclosure. Let everyone knowall of it. No delay. Do not wait.Go! Go!

Another shot rings out and hits the desert sand beside Cody.

Sontagg goes limp and Cody fights back emotion as he leapstowards the bus, and gets in.

The saucers switch to flying single file right behind thebus. Cody takes an evasive maneuver, going up into a loopand the saucers follow. Cody goes into a corkscrew, and thesaucers look like a string of roller-coaster cars as theyfollow right behind.

CODY

Arrrgghhh! When?!!CHERYL

(being positive, affirming!)Now!, Now!,... NOW!!!

With the last, and very clear affirmation, four of thesaucers spin out of control, each forming a fractal patternas they flip rapidly away from the bus. They crash into the

mountains in turns. The rear saucer falls back with cautionat first, then resumes the chase unfazed.

The bus flies very close to the sides of mountains, taking

more evasive maneuvers. A laser beam fires at them from thedisc still giving chase, misses the bus and blows a chunkout of the side of a nearby mountain-face.

CODYWhy is that one still trying tocrawl up my tail-pipe?

CHERYLIt shouldve gone down too! Are yousure you plugged them all in?

CODY

Yes! Im sure!

CHERYLWell, you must have missed thatone!

Cody flies over, then in, and through a forest trying tolose the disc. Another laser beam cuts through trees thatalmost hit the bus when they topple. Cody turns to follow ariver with the disc right behind.

CHERYL (CONTD)Whatre we are we going to do?

A laser beam flashes from the disc to the flying bus andhits the out of angle side-view mirror Cody had bumped

earlier and is reflected directly back at the disc. Thelaser penetrates the disc and shoots the pilot directlythrough his heart. The pilot stiffens, groans, then diesjust before the disc plows into the side of a mountain. Thebus streaks away.
