and lifts off...rising higher and higher into the brightening sky.
|
Below, on the street, COLE trudges along, passing deserted
|
buildings, windows broken, rusted signs dangling.
|
INT. DEPARTMENT STORE - NIGHT (FIRST LIGHT)
|
COLE'S light reveals a spider web just inside the store. A large
|
SPIDER tries to hide from the light.
|
COLE reaches carefully into the web and plucks the spider and
|
puts it into one of his specimen tubes.
|
Then, he shines his light all around the once elegant store.
|
There's
|
nothing but aisle after aisle of moldering consumer goods.
|
EXT. DEPARTMENT STORE - DAWN
|
As COLE comes out of the store, the first rays of the sun hit the
|
building. COLE stops, squints into the light through his visor.
|
COLE'S POV: spray-painted on the wall a long time ago is a
|
stenciled
|
logo of twelve monkeys holding hands in a circle. Over it is
|
written, "WE DID IT!"
|
COLE looks up.
|
COLE'S POV: high up on a building across the street, a LION
|
patrols a ledge, pauses, looks out majestically over his world.
|
TTTLES END
|
INT. FIRST UNDERGROUND DECONTAMINATION CHAMBER - ETERNAL NIGHT
|
ROARING WATER, powerful torrents gushing from nozzles in the
|
wall, pummel the still-suited COLE.
|
INT. SECOND UNDERGROUND DECONTAMINATION CHAMBER - ETERNAL NIGHT
|
Stark naked and shivering, COLE is being scrubbed with brushes on
|
long poles (like the ones used to wash cars) wielded by two
|
HULKING
|
FIGURES in bulky decontamination suits, their personas lost in
|
their
|
windowed masks. It's a grim scene in a grim cement room with
|
damp,
|
dripping walls. From an unseen source comes an AMPLIFIED VOICE,
|
AMPLIFIED VOICE (o.s.)
|
Raise your arms above your head.
|
COLE lifts his arms and the FIGURES start scrubbing his armpits.
|
INT. TINY CHAMBER - SHORTLY (ETERNAL NIGHT)
|
Still naked, COLE is seated on a stool while a MASKED TECHNICIAN
|
in a less elaborate, less bulky decontamination outfit draws
|
blood from COLE'S arm with an old-fashioned hypodermic needle.
|
COLE glances toward a single, nearly opaque "window" of thick
|
plastic in the rusty iron wall. VAGUE FIGURES seem to lurk
|
behind the translucent aperture, studying him.
|
The TECHNICIAN slips the blood sample through a slot in the wall.
|
INT. ENGINEERING OFFICE/FUTURE WORLD - ETERNAL NIGHT
|
Ushered in by two guards, TINY and SCARFACE, COLE looks around.
|
COLE'S POV: wails hidden by old headlines, articles, maps,
|
charts...
|
a blackboard covered with elaborate, sophisticated
|
formulae...surfaces
|
heaped with cracked monitors, gerry-rigged computers held together
|
with
|
string, lasers lost in tangles of cable, ancient tube amplifiers,
|
a
|
dilapidated cardboard reconstruction of a city, stacks of
|
moldering
|
books and tattered computer printouts...and, seated at a long
|
conference
|
table, staring at COLE, six SCIENTISTS: an ASTROPHYSICIST,
|
ENGINEER,
|
BOTANIST, MICROBIOLOGIST, ZOOLOGIST, and a GEOLOGIST. They
|
represent
|
a "modern" science where brilliant new ideas interface with crude,
|
outdated, patched-together technologies.
|
TINY
|
James Cole. Cleared from quarantine.
|
MICROBIOLOGIST
|
Thank you. You two wait outside.
|
SCARFACE
|
He's got a history, Doctor. Violence.
|
COLE'S eyes return to the walls.
