CUT TO. INT-CONTROL ROOM, REAL WORLD: Turkish is on his headset while unplugging Hemmington.
TURKISH
I've got an exit for you, don't keep me waiting.
ANTIGONE(V.O)
Don't worry, I'm on my way.
CUT TO. INT-HOTEL ROOM, DAY, MATRIX: Antigone hangs up her phone and puts it in her coat.
CUT TO. INT-HOTEL ROOM, BULLET TIME: Antigone musters her strength.
CUT TO. INT-HOTEL ROOM, REAL TIME: Antigone flies out the window she kicked Agent Johnson through. The few remaining shards are torn away. Antigone is now a small red dot on the horizon. A pair of legs clad in black leather pants enters the room. Camera moves up, a woman clenches a strong fist.
CUT TO. EXT-MID AIR, DAY, MATRIX: Antigone flies through the sky. She dodges around a helicopter then flies stright down. She lands hard on a rooftop. In a small grey box is the sound of a phone ringing. Antigone opens the box and picks up the phone.
CUT TO. INT-CONTROL ROOM, REAL WORLD: Turkish unplugs Antigone, she wakes up. Antigone sits up and looks around the room. Hemmington and Woo are looking at her, Turkish is standing behind her.
HEMMINGTON
Why didn't they try for you?
ANTIGONE
They did.
WOO
Not until after you provoked them.
ANTIGONE
I was testing their response.
HEMMINGTON
Why?
ANTIGONE
I wanted to know why they weren't going after me.
INT-CONTROL ROOM: Hemmington begins to climb a ladder to the catwalk above.
HEMMINGTON
Well go to the Valhalla, then home. We'll figure something out by then.
INT-CONTROL ROOM: The cockpit door slams shut. Antigone and Turkish stare at eachother for a while.
CUT TO. EXT-TUNNELS, REAL WORLD, FIVE HOURS LATER: The sound of an electric engine fills the tunnel. A short while later the DIONYSUS roars past. It is a reletively long ship, about 100M long. It is plated in heavy steel. All over the ship's ventral side, part of the dorsal side and parst of the port and starboad sides are blue pads of electic energy the ship uses for propultion. The ship also carries a number of gun turrets and communication antannae. The Dionysus begins to slow down as it approaches a deep hole. The ship begins to coast down into the hole, scanning as it goes.
CUT TO. INT-COCKPIT: Turkish is at the controls while Hemmington is seated beside him. They both stare intently out the window.
HEMMINGTON
Right spot yeah?
TURKISH
Right co-ordinates.
INT-COCKPIT: Turkish's attention is drawn upwards by a flashing light.
TURKISH
Got em!
HEMMINGTON
Where?
TURKISH
About another 200M down, in a small enclave.
CUT TO. EXT-TUNNELS: The Dionysus comes to a rest and hovers. The ship swites on forward facing search lights. In an enclave is another ship much like the Dionysus, though shorter, about 85M in length. It does, however, have more height than the Dionysus, about another 3M. This is the VALHALLA.
CUT TO. INT-DIONYSUS, COCKPIT: Antigone walks in with Woo.
ANTIGONE
(to the Valhalla) Well hello there.
HEMMINGTON
T, get out the pipes well have to jump them from here.
TURKISH
Got it.
ANTIGONE
I'll help.
INT-COCKPIT: Turkish and Antigone leave. Woo takes Tukish's seat.
AUGUSTUS(V.O)
Hemmy, where ya been?
HEMMINGTON
We've been out looking for your sorry asses.
CUT TO. INT-VALHALLA, COCKPIT: Captain Augustus is standing over Ridley's shoulder, he is seated in a navagator's position. The Dionysus is hovering right in front of them. Helena and Donnatello are seated in the pilot and co-pilot's seats.
AUGUSTUS
Hurry up. Our heads will be on pikes in Atlantis if we're late.
HEMMINGTON(V.O)
We won't be late.
CUT TO. EXT-TUNNELS, TWO HOURS LATER: The Dionysus flies past, it is followed by the Valhalla. The ships begin to slow down as they approach a massive, metal plate on the top of a dome.
CUT TO. INT-DIONYSUS, COCKPIT: Hemmington is seated in the pilot's seat.
HEMMINGTON
This is the Dionysus and Valhalla requesting access into the docks.
CUT TO. EXT-TUNNELS: Four energy beams emmit from various points on the metal plate. They scan the two ships. The plate begins to split into quarters. The ships begin to descend into the opening.
CUT TO. INT-DOCKS, UPPER LEVELS: The Dionysus and Valhalla are descending down into the underground city of Atlantis. Below the ships are many docking bays, about fifty. The docks are neary filled to capacity. The Valhalla and Dionysus seperate. The shield closes above them.
CUT TO. INT-DIONYSUS, COCKPIT: Hemmington stears the ship around the dock.
(V.O)
Dionysus you are cleared for bay 13.
HEMMINGTON
Understood.
CUT TO. INT-DOCKS: The Dionysus passes over several ships before arriving at an empty bay. The ship begins to settle down. Landing gear extend out from the ship's ventral side. After a short while of hovering, the ship touches down.
CUT TO. INT-DIONYSUS, COCKPIT: Hemmington activates a communications panel as he unstraps his harnesses.
HEMMINGTON
Welcome home weary travellers.
CUT TO. INT-DIONYSUS, HALLWAY: The hall is short and plated in heavy metal. Four doors cover the length of either side at about four feet apart. One door flies open. Turkish stammers out, his clothes are tattered and offset. Antigone steps out soon after, and her clothes are no better.
CUT TO. INT-CONTROL ROOM: Antigone and Turkish walk in. Woo is standing with a large bag slung over his shoulder. Turkish walks over to his computers and shuts them down. Hemmington enters with a sack like Woo's. He walks over to a control panel and enters in a few commands. He briefly notices Antigone and Turkish's states, but says nothing and smiles mockingly instead. The wall in front of the crew begins to move down into a walkway. When it is fully deployed the crew begins to walk down it.
CUT TO. INT-DOCKS: Hemmington is the first to arrive on the dock's surface. He looks around, relived to be home. The docks are bustling with people and activities, most of which are dedicated to maintainence and supplies for the ships. From out of nowhere, two children both girls, about 5 years old and 8, run up to Hemmington. These are CARRIE, 8, and ANNE, 5. They are Hemmington's children.
CARRIE & ANNE
Daddy!
HEMMINGTON
Look who it is! Though you know you're not supposed to be here.
ANNE
Mom said we could.
HEMMINGTON
She did?
CARRIE
Sure did.
HEMMINGTON
Well, she'd know right? Is she at work?
ANNE
Sure is.
HEMMINGTON
Let's go say hi then.
INT-DOCKS: Hemmington throws his bag to Turkish then picks up Anne.
HEMMINGTON
Just hang on to that for now lover boy. Say bye by to Daddy's crew.
ANNE
Bye bye crew.
INT-DOCKS: Hemmington and his kids walk away. Turkish begins to walk with Antigone and Woo down the dock. He is having a hard time seeing until he slings the bag over his shoulder.
ANTIGONE
When's the meeting?
WOO
Couple of hours. Captains and crew's only.
TURKISH
I think you'll like what they have to say.
ANTIGONE
We'll see.
INT-DOCKS: Woo stops in his tracks and looks down the dock. Standing there and giving him the evil eye is NATALIYA, a young woman who is Woo's girlfriend. Woo nods his head and turns back to Antigone and Turkish.
WOO
I have to go.
TURKISH
Good luck.
ANTIGONE
Seems that you'll need it.
INT-DOCKS: Woo begins to walk backwards and talk to Antigone and Turkish.
WOO
See you at the meeting!
INT-DOCKS: Turkish waves bye. Woo leaves. Antigone and Turkish continue their walk.
CUT TO. INT-HARBOUR CONTROL CENTRE: The room is a large circle, about 80M in diameter. It is built on three levels. People are going about their business in various ways, barking orders, absorbing them etc... From a metal door at the back, Hemmington, Anne and Carrie enter. Hemmington scans the room and spots a woman standing in the center, she appears to be in command. This is ALISON HEMMINGTON. She is a tall, confident looking woman with red hair. She works as the city's harbour master. Hemmington looks down to her. She senses his presence and looks to him and smiles. Hemmington moves down to her and she to him. They meet in the middle of the room and embrace. Their embrace breaks to say hello to their children.
HEMMINGTON
You of all people should know that the docks are no place for kids.
ALISON
Hey I was only ten when I started work and...
HEMMINGTON
Shut up.
INT-CONTROL CENTRE: Hemmington pulls her in close for a long kiss. Many people in the room stop their work and stare. They break off. Alison looks to her co-workers.
ALISON
Don't you have work to do?
INT-CONTROL CENTRE: The people go back to work. Alison takes one young man to her side. This ZANE. He is a man of about 25 years, tall and rugged.
ALISON
Zane, you've got the fort. I'm going home for a while.
ZANE
Right.
INT-CONTROL CENTRE: Hemmington, Alison, Anne and Carrie leave.
TURKISH
