A knock is heard at the door as Sam is sitting up in bed
Sam - "What!"..
Ken - opens the door peeking his head around it "hey Sam,..it's 7:30,..i thought i'd give ya an extra half hour."
Sam - "thanks.."..wiping the sweat from his forehead...
Ken - "you ok?..you look like crap, bad dream or somethin'?"..
Sam -"..more like a nightmare..but it didnt feel like a dream it felt real, like some sort of vision almost..it was as real as i'm lookin' at you right now..."
Ken - "lets get some coffee,..we'll talk about.."
Sam - "..No it's fine, i'll be ok."
Ken - "well clearly this dream,..vision hit you pretty hard..come on lets go."
Sam - "alright.." He gets out of bed..
Ken - Turns to leave but turns back.."oh Sam..put a shirt on man, nobody wants to see that"...he smiles
Sam laughs putting his shirt on and they leave head to the dining area.
Dining Area ------------------
Sam and Ken are sitting at a one seat at either end, corner table facing eachother.
Ken - "ok, let's hear it.." he says taking a sip of his coffee
Sam - .."alright well all i've got is this point of view of some passenger on the ship,..his breath was really fast, you could tell he was cold...the hallway was dark, it was E-Deck..i'm pretty sure it was scotland road. there was uh.. lights flashing like electrical fuses or wiring sparking.. and water was pouring in, it knocked me off my feet...i opened my eyes under the water..as sparks were lighting up parts of the hallway, i saw..two bodies, maybe three..yeah three..two women and little girl..they were already dead..floating by me..next thing i know a huge rush of water pushes me up against this black gate, i try opening it but it's locked.. i'm screaming for help, but not in my voice,.. ..the water is coming up fast,.can't think,..it's so cold..there's about an inch maybe less left of air and i'm screaming for help and water is entering my mouth, lungs...then i woke up.."
Ken - .."thats horrible..to think somebody went through that.."..he said quietly sipping his coffee..
Sam - "i'd do anything not to have seen that"..
Sam looked up at the clock in the dining area and realised the time.
Sam - "we better get some work done Ken, after all time is money.."
Ken - "yeah.. my money!" they laughed.
They stand up and begin to walk toward the bridge where they would hold the meeting to plan the next dive.
Cut to Sam and Ken leaving the meeting as people begin to get things ready to go down again.
Sam - "l'd rather take T2 out again today it felt alot smoother than T1 on the way down..,plus i was thinking of going inside the wreck and having a look around,. we have longer cable on the two ROV's on T2..."
Ken - "yeah sure i'll get larry to take a look at T1, see if he can work out why she's so rough on descent lately,.."
Sam - "..alright, i'll see ya when i get back.."
Sam climbs into the sub and the engineer closes the hatch behind him, sam starts to get comfortable, well as comfortable as you can get in this thing, not really thinking about the organisms he needs to retrieve for bio-analysis, but more about the something he saw on his way to the surface yesterday.
Cut to TITAN 2 moving just above the grand staircase.
Sam - "..DISCOVERY IV,..this is TITAN 2 do you read? over.."
Ken - "..TITAN 2 we have you loud and clear..over"
Sam - talking to the ROV Operator.."ok..go down into the grand staircase,. then head forward up scotland road."..
Sam finds a gap leading along B-Deck.He's curious never seen them before so just wants a peek.
Sam - "..wait a sec,. go back,..in there,..go along B-deck..have a look in these staterooms here...".
The ROV heads along B-Deck slowly approaching staterooms B52-B56..
Sam - .."lets have a look in here,..wow..fireplace..wouldnt think that was underwater for 93 years...a marble table on its side.. wait a sec,..whats that?..you see that?...
ROV Operator - "..yeah it looks like some sort of material..maybe leather.."
Sam - .."get those arms out, i wanna see inside it,.."
We see a shot of the ROV's robotic arms slowly approaching the object..
Sam -.."ok go pick it up..yes thats good ok bring it in..we'll take a look at that later.."
Cut to the tiny ROV descended into the hull of titanic passing B-deck all the way down to E-deck...
Sam -on radio ".ok we're now heading down.,..god it's hard too imagine these staterooms when they we're furnished the newest furniture and carpets and..god it's such a mess..but i cant think of anything else i'd rather be lookin' at right now"..he laughs alittle.
Ken - "..same here buddy..let me know when you reach scotland road over.."
After descending alittle more the ROV moves into a corridor..
Sam -.."ok..uh..i do believe..we are in scotland road.."
Ken - .."yeah thats where we've got you on the map here sam.."
Sam - "ok ..uh we've reached a staircase...maybe five or six steps"...
Then as the camera turns right to go up the steps there stood the black iron gate covered in organisms eating at the iron.
Sam - .."wow it's still there..here it is ken,..this is exactly where i was in my dream, right here.."
The operator of the ROV starts to move it forward up toward the gate, but the cable from behind the ROV tensed and jerked, the image coming back from ROV is lost for a few seconds
Sam - "goddammit what happened?"..
ROV Operator - "we lost visual, cable tensed.."
Sam -".shit!..try and reconnect the wires... move it forward and back trying to reconnect the wires"
They connect but at a price,..the picture comes back for a second then goes again before restoring completely showing that they hit the gate and the rusticles and organisms broke and released a blinding sort of silt/dust..sam couldnt work out which way they were facing..then the silt/dust floated away and left an astounding image.
Sam - .on radio.."holy shit!"..
Ken - .." sam? sam?..we lost visual over.."
Sam -..."it's open.."
Ken - .."whats open?""
Sam - .."the gate..the gate its wide open..i gotta see whats down there"..
ROV operator - "we havent got enough cable we're at max now".
Sam - "..,..we better head back up, work out the damage, and we'll try and work something out.."
Cut to the "DISCOVERY IV" Deck 8:42am..
Ken -."but you said in your dream it was locked.."
Sam -.."yeah i know but it must have opened somehow.,.that little ROV couldnt have forced it,..even with the rusticles and organisms on that gate,..he got out..he must've.."
Ken - "the guy in your dream?"
Sam - nodded enthusiastically.."he must have, you dont believe me?"..
Ken - seemingly frustrated.."Sam..its been 93 years!.. i can't think how many logical explanations there are for that gate being open now.."
Sam - anger starting to build with frustration of his own.."so you're telling me that the possibility of this guy opening that gate is rediculous?"
Ken -.."No..you having that dream is rediculous, placing yourself inside possibly the greatest shipwreck known today when it's sinking! and claiming you were possesed as an actual victim..thats rediculous!.."
Sam -.."look calm down.."
Ken - calming down lighting a cigarette.."yeah ok...what was that thing you found in the B-Deck Suite?..
Sam - "oh yeah,..Jeff said he'd take a look.."
Ken - .talks on radio "..Jeff come in over.."
Jeff - "yeah jeff here.."
Ken - "yeah you find out what that thing was sam brought up..."
Jeff - "..yeah its incredible,.. you guys should definitly come check this out.."
Sam -..."we're on our way.."
Cut to Bridge where Sam and Ken meet up with Jeff.
The Object has been opened out revealing charcoal,pencils various sharpening tools.
Ken - ".looks like some sort of artists kit..
Jeff - "thats exactly what this is,..but it looks old and ragged even before the sinking,. this probably..belonged to a third class passenger..we even have some initials on the side here..."
Sam - ". J.D. ...hmm.check out the passenger list..see if we can work out whose it is..."
Ken - .."why would there be a third class artists kit, in one of the most expensive suites on the entire ship?.."
Sam - .."i dunno,.anyway im going to bed,.. ill see you in the mornin'"..
Jeff and Ken examing the contents of the kit.
Cut to Sam's room he's stirring in bed..camera speeds and closes in on Sam's face then we see what he is seeing.
we see the same dream from before but instead of waking with centimetres of air left, we go under the water then after what seemed like an endless amount of time, we pull apart the gate and reach out for a hand behind us..a handcuff is seen on the wrist of the young man we claim to be,.a young womans hand slides into that of the man,.. then we see the shadow of her against the lights and sparks behind her but not her face.. sam wakes up again covered in sweat..
9:32pm
Sam-...deep in thought.."handcuffs"..we see that he has thought of something..he gets out of bed sliding on a t-shirt and pants, making alot of noise as ken comes knocking on his door.
Ken - "Sam, what the hell are you doing in there.?.".
Sam opens the door and ken walks in..
Ken - have you completely lost your mind, what the hell are you doing?..
Sam -.."the master at arms.."..continues making a mess apparently looking for something..
Ken - thinks to himself "whats he talking about now?"..."yeah what about him?"..
Sam -.."he survived right"?..
Ken - "yeah i think so..why?"
Sam-.."goddamit son of a bitch, where is it?"..
Ken - "what?.."
Sam - .."that book with the investigation eyewitness accounts, testimonies and everything."..
Ken - .."it's in my room".
Sam makes the motion for him to move ahead of him to go and get it as sam followed. They enter Ken's room and ken hands him the book.
Ken - "you're nuts my friend..seriously nuts.."
Sam - ..searching page after page..his eyes suddenly lit up.."i got it"..
Ken - "got what?"
Sam - "listen to this"..begins to read from the book...("my position on the Titanic was master at arms, i did make one arrest..a young man from third class, the charge was stealing from a first class gentlemen by the name of Caledon Hockley...however that wasnt the first time i encountered the young lad..he was also under my investigation for attacking a young lady, i think it was the first night we were under way..but apparently Mr Hockley's fiance was trying to get a look at the ships propellors and fell over the railing if it had not been for the lad, she'd surely have died, so i let the boy go.")
Sam - "then the guy asks him when the last time he saw this young man was..(The last time i saw the young lad was at the stern of the ship he was with Mr Hockley's fiance which was unlikely, because i had restrained him to a pipe in the master at arms quarters.i did however notice he was still wearing the restraints but they were seperated ...i dont know if he survived but i know the girl did not.)
Sam - "the guy asks him about the restraints"..(yes sir handcuffs..i handcuffed him around a pipe..yes sir while the ship was sinking but we didnt know at this point sir...in all honesty sir i forgot about the boy as soon as i heard we were sinking..) W.Baily, Master at Arms, R.M.S Titanic April 21st 1912."
Sam - "this has got to be the guy i am in my dream"..
Ken - "wait,..what about the girl.."
Sam - .."oh look who suddenly jumped aboard,.have alittle faith now do we?"..
Ken -."shut up and tell me"..
Sam -..not looking up from the book.." i cant do both man.."
Ken - "come on"...
Sam - .."i'm looking wait a sec..."
Sam scours the pages trying to find a name..
Sam - "ah!..another passenger says this (captain smith received the ice warning as Ruth DeWitt Bukater and her daughter Rose were on the bridge,..Rose was to marry Caledon Hockley..i was so jealous of her..he was so handsome.." Amy O'Reilly, First class passenger April 21st 1912..
Ken - "Rose?"..he opens a drawer revealing a book looking at a survivor list.."only Rose Dawson on here..Hockley's here though..poor guy..guess he never did get too marry her huh?"
Sam - "dont be so sure about Cal Hockley, Molly Brown didnt have too many nice things too say about that guy.."
Ken - "oh really"..turns the pages to read what molly said about hockley..."sam!..listen to this"..(I remember when Cal invited Jack to dinner with us after saving young Rose from falling off the stern of the ship, she wanted to see the propellors, but if i had to marry Cal Hockley i'd probably have jumped off that ship..")
Sam - "what the hell?.who the hell is Jack?.."
Ken - .."wait listen to this".. he continues reading..("..my guess is Cal and Ruth invited Jack wanting to make him feel in his place down in third class,..but Jack wouldnt have it, he won over the table talking about how he won his ticket at a lucky hand at poker,.how we should make each day count..i liked him..he was a swell kid..and i could tell young Rose liked him too,.. I'll miss them both very much..") Margaret Brown 1st Class Passenger R.M.S Titanic april 20th 1912.
Sam - "..Jack?..it all makes sense..ofcourse...thats the name of the guy in my dream..he's a third class passenger..he saves the life of this girl..they offer thanks he goes to dinner with them..this girl rose falls for him..they get it on..probably in her suite.."
Ken -.."the artist!..J.D..".
Sam - "ok.but.Rose DeWitt Bukater died on the titanic..right.."
Ken - ..."yeah..but Rose Dawson didn't...JD Jack Dawson."
Sam - "..check the passenger list..for Rose Dawson..we know Jack wasnt on it..because he won his ticket.."
Ken -..shaking his head in shock..."i'm not seeing her here man"..
Sam -.."well..(laughs)..we worked out who they are..now we need to find out what jack wants from me.."
