SCENE: INT. TUNNEL.
[Ulrich drops the gun and falls to his knees. Staring at the now lifeless body of Yumi Ishiyama, he begins to remember the good times before this nightmare began…]
ULRICH (singing):
Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Now there's a look in you eyes, like black holes in the sky.
Shine on you crazy diamond…
[Tears start rolling down his face. Odd then appears and puts his hand on Ulrich's shoulder.]
ULRICH: Odd, out of all the people I could've saved, why did she have to die?
ODD: I don't know, man.
ULRICH: I should've been there when she went to see Hiroki at the hospital.
ODD: But how did you know this would happen?
ULRICH: Yeah. (Standing up) Let's go.
ODD: I just pray she's in a better place than here on Earth amongst the chaos.
[Picking up the rifle, Ulrich takes one last look at her before walking away.]
SCENE: EXT. TUNNEL.
[Once they emerge from the tunnel, they find the others, including Aelita, waiting at the plane. They all quickly get on, find their seats, put their seatbelts on and relax. The plane then takes off into the night sky…]
EPILOGUE – TWO HOURS LATER…
SCENE: INT. PLANE.
[The mood is downcast, nobody has said a thing.]
AELITA (to Ulrich): How are you doing, Ulrich?
ULRICH: I'm okay.
[Aelita smiles.]
AELITA: Remember, anytime you need to talk, just let me know.
ULRICH: Will do.
[Aelita pats him on the shoulder then goes back to her seat. Ulrich turns and looks out the window. The sun is starting to rise. Ulrich smiles. It's a new day and the start of a new beginning for everyone.]
"Far in the distance is cast a shadow.
Symbol of our freedom will bring us salvation.
On the horizon hope for tomorrow.
Sweeping across the land to give us unity.
Look to the heavens with tears of triumph.
To cherish a new life and suffer not again.
Lift up your spirits from all destruction.
Never shall we return from conflict we must learn."
