Event Horizon

Claire.

I miss you.

Starck: Dr. Weir,

report to the Lewis & Clark in docking bay four.

Justin: Ion drive set.

Smith: Thank you.

Heading, vector one, nine degrees.

We are prepped for lockdown.

I can't believe it, this is ridiculous.

I haven't got more than my hand in the last six weeks,

and now this shit.

I mean, why can't we go to Mars, captain?

I mean, Mars has got women.

Smith's right.

Neptune, there's nothing out there.

Smith: Yeah, and if the shit goes down, we'll be on our own.

You know the rules, people.

Someone drops the ball, we get the call.

Now, let's go.

Have you got our course plotted in? Yes, sir.

Locked and cooked and ready to rock.

Mr. Justin?

Everything's green on my screen, skipper.

Miller: Start your countdown now.

Ion drive will engage in t minus 10 minutes.

Thank you, lieutenant.

Let's go. Smith, you follow me.

Smith: Yes, ma'am.

Miller: Justin, get those tanks prepped.

Justin: Yes, sir.

Mr. Cooper. Cooper: Skipper.

Ion drive in 10 minutes.

Ooh, it's time to play spam-in-the-can.

Skipper. Miller: Peters.

Captain Miller, I just wanted to say this is something...

Clock is ticking, doctor.

You waiting for a personal invitation, there, Mr. Smith?

No, sir. Captain, I don't want to take up any...

Doctor, if you'll just follow the rest of the crew to the grav tanks,

we're almost underway.

That bunk better be squared away, Mr. Cooper,

or you'll find yourself walking to Neptune.

What's the hold—up, Peters?

Just loading the last of the co2 scrubbers, sir.

You stand right here.

Smith: Thanks, d.J.

Smith: Hats off in the tank. Sir.

First time in a grav couch?

Yeah. Uh-huh.

I think your captain has some kind of a problem with me.

Oh, well. Don't worry about him.

He just loves having complete strangers on his ship.

D.j. D.J.: Yeah.

No.

Is this necessary?

When the ion drive fires,

you'll be taking about 30 g's.

Without a tank,

the force would quuefy your skeleton.

I've seen the effect on mice.

Claustrophobic?

Very. Hmm.

Claire: Billy.

I'm so alone.

Hello?

Is anyone there?

Oh, god.

Claire: Billy?

I'm so cold.

Claire.

I'm waiting.

You're all right. Breathe.

D.j.i

okay, Dr. Weir, let's get you up. Okay, I'm fine.

Come on, take it easy. I'm fine.

Okay. There you go.

Now move nice and slow.

You've been in stasis for 56 days.

You're gonna experience a little disorientation, you understand?

I'm all right now, thank you.

Okay, take that. Don't rush it.

All yours.

You okay, doc?

Want some coffee?

What?

Would you like some coffee?

No. Thank you.

All right, suit yourself.

What about you, starck?

Would you like something hot and black inside you?

Ooh! Is that an offer?

It is not.

Then how about some coffee, then?

Starck? Oh.

Yes, sir. Why aren't you on the bndge?

Do you mind if I get dressed first?

As a matter of fact, lieutenant,

I do mind if you get dressed first.

Let's go, people. We have a job to do.

Peters: Okay, Denny, here we go.

Happy birthday.

Play horsey, mommy. Play horsey.

Hey, no more ball in the house.

Cooper: Sorry, mama.

Justin: Yeah, you're the one who can't catch.

Cooper: Yo, apologize.

Sorry about that, mama bean

all right. All right, then.

Miller: Uh, Peters. Yes, sir.

I did try to find a replacement for you,

but with such short notice, it was impossible.

I am sorry.

I talked to my ex.

He's going to take Denny for Christmas.

I'll get him for the summer,

so everything's all right.

Cooper: Smitty.

Excuse me, ladies and gentlemen,

in approximately two hours and 23 minutes,

we'll be arriving in the orbit of Neptune.

Thank you very much. I thank you.

Ooh, that's good.

All boards are green. Everything's five by five.

Usac been notified of our position?

Starck: Yes, sir.

All right, people, listen up. Smith: D.J.

Miller: As you all know, we have an addition to our crew.

Dr. Weir, you care to join us?

Introductions all around.

This is my xo, lieutenant starck.

Mr. Justin, engineering.

The funky spaceman over here is Mr. Cooper.

What exactly is it you do on board this ship, Coop?

Listen up, doc, I'm your best friend, okay?

I am the lifesaver and the heart breaker.

He's a rescue technician.

This is Peters, medical technician.

And my pilot, Mr. Smith.

The gloomy Gus in the corner over there, that's...

D.j. Trauma.

Cooper: All right, all right.

Now that we all know each other,

skipper, I got a question. Miller: Certainly.

What the fuck are we doing way out here?

Well, perhaps the good doctor will be kind enough to tell us.

Thank you. Uh... (Clearing throat)

First of all, I want to say how much I appreciate

this opportunity to join you on what I...

It's for sure that you appreciate being here, doctor,

but you must understand that we don't.

We were taken off a well-deserved leave

and sent into Neptune space.

We are now three billion klicks from the nearest outpost.

The last time usac attempted a rescue

this far past the outer reach,

well, we lost both ships. 80, if you please...

Right. Well...

Everything I'm about to tell you is considered code black by the NSA.

Usac intercepted a radio transmission

from a decaying orbit around Neptune.

The source of this transmission has beenidenfified

as the event horizon.

Yeah, well, that's bullshit, for starters.

Skipper, you took me off leave...

Thank you so much.

Smitty, sit down.

Cooper, as you were.

Let the man speak.

Weir: What was made public about the event horizon,

that she was a deep space research vessel,

that her reactor went critical,

and that the ship blew up,

none of that is true.

The event horizon was the culmination

of a secret government project to create a spacecraft

capable of faster-than-light flight.

Smith: I don't... excuse me.

See, you can't actually do that.

The law of relativity prohibits faster-than-light travel.

Relativity, yes. We can't break the law of relativity.

We can go around it.

The ship doesn't really go faster than light.

What it does is it creates a dimensional gateway,

that allows it to jump instantaneously

from one point of the universe to another light years away.

How?

Well, it's... it's difficult to... It's all math.

Try us, doctor.

Right, well, uh, using layman's terms,

we use a rotating magnetic field

to focus a narrow beam of gravitons.

These in turn fold space-time

consistent with weyl tensor dynamics,

until the space—time curvature becomes infinitely large

and you produce a singularity. Now, the singularity...

Layman's terms.

Well, fuck layman's terms. Do you speak English?

Um...

Imagine, for a minute, that this piece of paper...

Excuse me. Uh, that's Vanessa, and that's mine. Uh...
