DOMINANT SPECIES
Screenplay
DOMINANT SPECIES
Fade In
EXT - BOMBS - DAY
ABUBABKAR,the President of the New World Council had just ordered the presidents around the world to drop hundreds of nuclear bombs under the ocean floor to kill off the aliens that had taken it over.
EXT - OCEANS/TSUNAMIS - DAY
The ocean rises and tsunamis had formed around the world. The polar caps starts melting. Structures starts collapsing and the land masses starts dwindling. A radiated fog had formed over the ocean. All over the world the electricity had been neutralized. The world is now quiet.
EXT - JEFFERSON COUNTY,WISCONSIN - DAY
Five days later...
The people started walking out of their homes. Confused about everything. The neighbors were being checked on. Phones were not working. No electricity. The rain water turned out to be ok. The lakes were still good. Some cars were able to start up.
INT - THE KINGS HOME - DAY
One car garage attached to the home. No electricity. Fireplace in living room with logs dwindling. Patricia is turning the logs with fireplace tool.
PATRICIA
Lewis, we’re going to have
to get some logs for the
fireplace.
LEWIS
I know. I hope that the car
starts up.
PATRICIA
Why Lewis? Did you put
some gas in it?
LEWIS
It’s not that Pat. Whenever
nuclear bombs are set off
there is a theory that the
electricity would be
neutralized.
PATRICIA
My goodness Lewis. If the
transportation stops running
we won’t be able to get any
supplies.
LEWIS
Well wish me luck honey.
Lewis went outside to his car.
LEWIS
(talking to himself)
My neighbors are walking
like those zombies on Night
OF THE LIVING DEAD.I
can understand why with no
heat and electricity. It can
get pretty cold at night.
Lewis stepped into his car. He put his key into the ignition switch. He turned it. The car turned over.
LEWIS
Thank God.
He left the car running. Got out and ran into the house.
LEWIS
(shouting)
Pat! Pat!
PATRICIA
(concern)
What is it Lewis?
LEWIS
The car started up. I’m
letting it run. I’m not
taking any chances of it
cutting off.
PATRICIA
Maybe we should go to the
police station and find out
what’s going on.
LEWIS
You mean the Peace Keeper
Station don’t you?
PATRICIA
Look Lewis. Ever since the
New World Council was
created and they decided
that all of the police stations
were now going to be called
Peace Keepers Stations I
couldn’t get use to it. To
me they are still police
stations.
LEWIS
What ever you say Pat. Just
as long as we get over there
and find out what the hell is
going on. So lets go.
They both got into their car and drove off.
EXT - YOUNG BROTHER’S RANCH -DAY
The Young brothers are Daniel,Anthony,Paul,and David. They have a farm in Jefferson County. David is the youngest of the brothers. He was out riding on one of the horses they own. The sun was going down. Daniel and Anthony was sawing some wood while Paul was chopping wood. Anthony stood up to wipe the sweat from his face while looking up at the horizon.
ANTHONY
What is that?
Paul stopped chopping wood to look up.
PAUL
Say it looks as if it’s
coming right this way.
DANIEL
What is it?
David stopped riding when he saw his brothers looking up at the sky.
ANTHONY
Is it a plane?
PAUL
It can’t be.
DANIEL
Why not?
PAUL
Because there’s no sound
coming from it’s engines.
DAVID
Maybe it’s a UFO.
Daniel,Anthony,and Paul all turned around to look at David.
DAVID
Well it could be.
They all turned around to look up at the sky. It slowed down and disappeared behind the trees in the forest.
ANTHONY
Do you supposed it landed?
PAUL
Lets saddle up the horses
and go find out.
ANTHONY
I’ll go get the guns.
DANIEL
I’ll grab the ammo.
DAVID
I’m ready.
ANTHONY
David. You stay here.
DAVID
Why do I have to stay here?
ANTHONY
Because someone has to
watch the farm. We don’t
want any looters coming
around.
DANIEL
We should be back in an
hour.
PAUL
Whatever it is. It’s behind
those trees in the forest.
They took off riding. Anthony looked back while riding away.
ANTHONY
We’ll be back little brother.
EXT-THE EVANS-DAY
Carter and Lisa Evans were able to drive to the peace keeper’s station. They got out of their car and went in.
INT - THE PEACE KEEPERS STATION - DAY
The peace keepers were all busy calming down the towns people. The towns people were all mingling together trying to grasp what was happening.
CARTER
What’s happening out
there?
PEACE KEEPER
Are there any more of you
from where you came from?
LISA
Yes, they were hiding inside
of their homes.
PEACE KEEPER
Do you have any kind of
communication device?
CARTER
No,Everythings down in my
town. I want to speak to
someone in charge.
PEACE KEEPER
Follow me.
INT - LARGE ROOM - DAY
A ten foot table was in the front of the room. A door was behind the table. A picture of the mayor was on the wall. Twenty people were in the room arguing. Carter and Lisa were led into a large room. As they entered there was a commotion going on. There were over a hundred townspeople also in the room. They were arguing about everything.
PEACE KEEPER
If you want to find a place
somewhere the mayor is
going to make his speech
soon.
Carter and Lisa started walking around.
LISA
Carter Look! There’s
Robert and Linda.
CARTER
Hey Rob....Rob.
Robert turned around.
ROBERT
Carter? Linda look. It’s
Carter and Lisa.
Robert and Linda walked over to meet Carter and Lisa.
CARTER
Hey buddy. Did they tell you
what’s happening?
ROBERT
No. They just said that there
was no communication with
the outside world.
LINDA
Where’s your kids Lisa?
LISA
They’re at the house. My
brother came by when he
heard what the New World
Council was about to do.
ROBERT
It looks like the whole
town is here.
LINDA
Who’s in charge?
ROBERT
It’s Captain Harris Moore.
LISA
Linda word is that millions
of people are dead in our
country.
LINDA
Lisa how did you hear
about this?
LISA
Some people like truck
drivers who couldn’t get
their trucks started were
using their CB Radios to
make contact. Then the
word had spread.
ROBERT
I heard that the entire west
coast and east coast is
underwater.
LISA
Listen up. I heard that only
the central states were
saved.
CARTER
Wow! That is something.
ROBERT
Look here comes the mayor
now.
The mayor walked in from the office in the back. He sat behind the desk. He hit his gavel on the desk to demand everyone’s attention. The towns people became quiet.
MAYOR
I know that there is a lot
of questions that you want
to ask but first let me tell
you what information we do
have. The only
communication we did
receive was from Chicago.
They had reported that
they could see where the
water had stopped. The
water is radiated and
boiling. No one can get near
it without getting severe
radiation burns. We might
be the only ones left in the
world. Do you understand
me?
Everyone remained quiet.
MAYOR
Communication is being done
through CB Radios.
A hand was raised.
MAYOR
Yes James
JAMES
Mr. Mayor. How did the
water get like that?
MAYOR
It was man’s stupidity. By
exploding those nuclear
bombs man had melted the
north pole and the south
pole. Yes John?
JOHN
What about those aliens?
MAYOR
After those bombs went off
all of the electricity
became neutralized. There
was no more satellite
communication. No one
could withstand that kind
of power so I would have
to say that those aliens are
dead. Yes Robert?
ROBERT
Is there a plan for
survival?
MAYOR
Yes there is. Let me explain
my plan. We have thirty five
peace keepers or pks for
short in this building. They
have absolute power. There
will be no jail time for
crimes.These pks have the
right to kill on the spot. The
people who have farms will
have to donate them to the
town.
MARK
Wait a minute. My farm
was left to me from my
deceased mother and
father. You can’t expect me
to just hand it over.
CHRISTOPHER
You got the gall to be
asking us that. I was born
on my farm.
MAYOR
Look Chris and everyone of
you. There are people that
will be walking in the dark.
Some of them will be up to
no good. My pks will be on
horses. They will be
carrying flashlights and
guns to make sure that you
are protected. Money is no
good anymore. We will
have to use the bartering
system. Yes Jason?
JASON
Mayor Miller what is the
bartering system?
MAYOR
The bartering system is
when you need something
you will have to be of
service to your town. In
your case my office is
offering you protection.
Just then David Young had made an abrupt appearance.
DAVID
I need help.
CAPTAIN MOORE
What’s the problem son?
DAVID
Officer Moore my brothers
and I saw a UFO come down
from the sky.They all went in the
direction the UFO had landed.
It had landed in the forest
up around the bend. My
brothers should have been
back by now.
CAPTAIN MOORE
Are you sure that it wasn’t
Just a plane?
DAVID
Sir this plane came down
without making a sound from
it’s engines.
CAPTAIN MOORE
Ok David.
Captain Moore got the attention of two pks.
CAPTAIN MOORE
You two pks ride out to the
forest to investigate. David
how did you get here?
DAVID
I rode my horse sir and my
brothers rode theirs.
CAPTAIN MOORE
Look son. Your brothers
are probably laying in the
grass and lost track of time
since there is no way we can
tell time now.
DAVID
You’re probably right sir
but will you check on them
anyway?
CAPTAIN MOORE
I said I will and I always
keep my promises.
DAVID
Thank you, sir.
CAPTAIN MOORE
You’re welcome son. I bet
that by the time you get
back to your farm your
brothers will be sitting
there worrying
about you.
DAVID
I hope so.
David had left the peace keepers station. He got back on his horse and galloped away.
EXT - THE FOREST - DAY
Daniel, Anthony and Paul were tip toeing through the forest.
PAUL
I was sure that it went down
right here.
ANTHONY
Well it’s not here now.
PAUL
Wait I here something.
They stopped walking. Some thick bushes was in front of them. Daniel had pulled away some bushes.
DANIEL
I don’t believe this.
ANTHONY
What do you see?
PAUL
Let me look. This is
fucking unbelievable.
ANTHONY
I bet those are the aliens
that caused all of this.
DANIEL
If we shoot them we’ll be
heroes.
PAUL
I got a clear shot. Hand me
my rifle.
Anthony took Paul’s rifle off of his horse and handed it to him. Paul took careful aim while the rest of the watched.
ANTHONY
Shoot Paul.
DANIEL
Waiting on you Paul.
PAUL
(talking to himself)
What’s wrong with my
finger? I can’t pull the
trigger.
ANTHONY
(talking to himself)
I can’t move my mouth.
PAUL
Why can’t I turn my head?
DANIEL
I can’t move at all.
PAUL
Hey guys I need a little
help here.
ANTHONY
Will someone help me?
None of them were able to hear each other because the communication was all inside of their minds. The Argolian walked over to Paul and looked straight into his eyes.
PAUL
(scared)
Noo!.. Go away ! Go away!
The Argolian started eating Paul’s hands. Paul screams in his mind.
PAUL
(panicking)
Stop! Aahhh!
The Argolian ate off his arms.
Paul
(terrified)
Please God I don’t want to
diiieee! Ahhh!,Stoopp!
Ahhh!
Paul screamed a silent scream. His brothers couldn’t hear him. Anthony could see Paul being eaten alive.
DANIEL
Leave him alone you son
of a bitch. Let him go!
Another Argolian came through the bushes and looked right into Daniel’s eyes.
DANIEL
Nooo!
A third Argolian came through the bushes and stared into Anthony’s eyes.
ANTHONY
(scared)
What the hell! Get away
from me! Stop! Stoooop!
Ahhh!Ughhh!
They all screamed that silent scream. Their bodies fell to the ground. Two more Argolians walked through the bushes. They walked over to the horses and stared into their eyes, then they started to feed. The horses remained frozen until there was nothing left but their heads. After it was all over the Argolians went back to their ship. They had cloaked it so it could not be seen. They used their weapons that they carried on their side to blast tunnels into the ground.
DAY-FOREST-DAY
Two pks had arrived at the edge of the forest on horseback. They had their two way radios on their shoulders.
PK1
Pk1 to base over.
CAPTAIN MOORE
This is Captain Moore pk1
Come in. Over.
PK1
Captain we have just arrive
at the edge of the forest,
over.
CAPTAIN MOORE
Look pk1. I want
communications from you
every five minutes, Over.
PK1
Yes sir. Over and out. Pk2
I see the tracks made by the
horses David’s brothers
were on? Lets dismount
and walk from here.
PK2
Sounds good to me.
PK1
We’ll tie the horses up here.
PK2
Ok
PK1
I see that their tracks are
leading this way. Lets
follow the path.
Pk1 decided to call back to base.
PK1
Pk1 to base. Come in base,
over.
CAPTAIN MOORE
Come in Pk1.This is
Captain Moore, over.
PK1
Captain we’ve found the
tracks left by the Young
Brothers. We’re following
them now, over.
CAPTAIN MOORE
Report back to me in five
minutes,over.
PK1
Yes sir, over and out.
Pk2 was just up ahead. He tripped and fell.
PK2
Shit.
As he got up he turned to see what he had tripped over.
PK2
Jesus Christ!
PK1
Are you ok Pk2?
PK2
Come over here and take a
look at this Pk1.
Pk1 walked over to where Pk2 was at.
PK1
What is it ?
Pk1 looked down where Pk2 was pointing.
PK1
My God! A horses head.
Lets look around this area.
They both started kicking the leaves around.
PK1
Here’s another one.
PK2
I found one more.
Pk1 called the base.
PK1
Pk1 to base. Come in base,
over.
CAPTAIN MOORE
Yes Pk1. Come in. This is
base, over.
PK1
Sir we’ve discovered three
horses heads out here. What
could have done this sir?
over.
CAPTAIN MOORE
Do you see any signs of the
Young Brothers? Over.
PK1
Negative, sir but I’m afraid
that whatever had killed
those horses might have
done the same thing to the
Young Brothers and we
don’t want to run into
whatever had killed them
without backup,Sir, over.
CAPTAIN MOORE
Ok Pk1.Stand down. Backup is
on the way, over.
PK1
Yes sir, over and out.
PK2
Well what did he say?
PK1
The captain is sending us
some back-up.
PK2
Thank goodness for that.
Lets go back to the edge of
the forest and wait for them.
PK1
I’m all for that. Wait a
minute! I can’t move. Pk2
I need your help.
PK2
My legs won’t move. I need
your help Pk1.Pk1? Why
won’t you answer me?
Their cries for assistance was only in their minds.
PK1
I can’t move my arms.
PK2
I can’t move my body.
Their silent cries for help was not being heard. The Argolians came onto the scene. Two Argolians wrapped their long arms around the peace keepers and flew towards the tunnels that they had made. They sealed up the entrance to the tunnels with their blasters. The ground had turned into liquid lava at the tunnels entrance. A few minutes later it cooled. Then hardened. It matched it’s surroundings. The wind blew lightly. It blew the leaves over the tunnel. The Argolians will not be disturbed while they sleep.
Ten more peace keepers had arrived at the edge of the forest. They all dismounted and tied their horses to the trees. They followed the tracks left by the first two peace keepers.
PK121
I want everyone to spread
out. Span an area of ten feet
between you.
PK09
Sir I’ve found something.
Pk121 walked over to where Pk09 was at. He took his flashlight and brushed the leaves off of the object. He jumped up.
PK12
What the hell! A horses
head. Any sign of the other
two peace keepers?
PK13
Sir I have something over
here.
Pk121 walked over to where Pk13 was at. He saw two radios on the ground next to a horses head.
PK121
Something must’ve happened
to the other two peace keepers.
Fan out.
The other peace keepers had spread out enough to cover a wide area. Pk121 decided to call the base.
PK121
Pk121 to base, over.
CAPTAIN MOORE
Come in Pk121,over.
PK121
Sir we’ve found the radios
on the ground next to a
horses heads. I’m afraid
that something had happened
to the peace keepers sir.
There are no signs of them
anywhere, over.
CAPTAIN MOORE
Alright Pk121. Bring your
men in. It’s getting dark.
Over.
PK121
Yes sir. Over and out. Ok
peace keepers. We’re
heading back to town.
They all walked back to their horses. Mounted up and galloped back to town. As the peace keepers galloped back towards the town one of them yelled out. They all stopped.
PK121
Who yelled?
PK13
Me sir.
PK121
Well tell me why peace
keeper.
PK13
Sir I saw something flying
towards the town.
PK121
What did it look like?
PK13
It looked like a bird of
some sort or a dragonfly
or... I can’t explain it
sir.
PK121
Look Pk13. The sun got into
your eyes or maybe you’re
just tired.
Pk121 turned to the other peace keepers.
PK121
Did any of you peace
keepers see anything in the
skies?
They all nodded there heads signaling no.
PK121
There you have it.
PK13
Maybe you’re right sir.
Maybe it was just my
imagination. Sorry sir.
PK121
That’s alright peace keeper.
Ok everyone. Lets ride.
They headed towards the town.
INT - PEACE KEEPERS STATION - DAY
Back in town Mayor Miller was organizing a strategy plan.
MAYOR
As we all know there is no
form of communication
except for CB Radios. I’m
going to have my peace
keepers do a door to door
call. They will work in
shifts. Every eight hours
you will get a visit from a
peace keeper at your door.
You will answer it to let
them know that you are
alright. If you don’t answer
your door the peace keepers
have authorization from
me to enter your home and
do a search. I want to make
sure that all of you are safe.
Are there any questions?
A hand was raised.
MAYOR
Yes Chugkun?
CHUGKUN
Mr. Mayor, My family and I
had just arrived here from
China last month. We don’t
know to much about the peace
keepers. What do they look
like?
MAYOR
First I want to welcome you
and your family to our town.
I need a peace keeper to
come up here.
The peace keeper that was the closet had walked up to the mayor and turned around.
MAYOR
Do you see the way that he
is dressed? This is the
uniform that will be
knocking at your door. For
those who are carrying guns
do not shoot any of my
peace keepers or you will
be shot yourself.
ADELRIC
Mr. Mayor?
MAYOR
Yes Adelric?
ADELRIC
I have six guns in my house.
I don’t want to have any
peace keepers coming
around.I can protect my
own home.
MAYOR
Pk25,scratch his name off
of the list.
PK25
Yes sir.
CARTER
Mr. Mayor?
MAYOR
Yes
CARTER
We’re the Evans family.
How about all of us
purchasing guns to protect
ourselves.
MAYOR
We do have a gun store in
this town. We will have to
confiscate those guns.
MAN IN BACK
(angry)
Wait a minute
MAYOR
Yes, who are you?
FOULQUES
My name is Foulques. I’m
from France. I own that gun
shop. I had opened the
doors to the public two
months ago.I had just got it
off the ground. I’m not
going to turn everything
over to a bunch of
townspeople. I’ll be ruined.
MAYOR
Everyone has to give up
something for our services.
You are going to have to
give up your guns. The
safety of this town is more
important. I’m going to
send some peace keepers
over to your shop. You
might as well show them
where to go.Take what
guns you would want to
use. The peace keepers
will take the rest.
Other peace keepers had entered through the door. The townspeople stepped aside to let the peace keepers through.
MAYOR
Some of you have cars that
are working. Theoretically
none of them were suppose
to work. I’m glad that they
are. I would like for you
townspeople to follow my
pks to the gun shop on your
way home. Pick up a firearm
and don’t forget the ammo.
The pks will distribute the
firearms.Remember don’t
get gun crazy. Those of
you who have cars give
those who don’t a lift home.
I’m going to have to
establish a curfew for the
towns safety. I know that
the whole town is in fear
of their lives but we have
to look after one another.
We have over four hundred
people in our town and that
is just an estimate. A lot of
townspeople had left to be
with their families. I’m
afraid that they were caught
up in the rising water.
Conserve your gas because
the gas pumps are not
working. My pks will have
to siphon out the gas and
distribute it rationally.
The food supply will have to
be collected from all of the
stores. We have five city
vehicles that are working.
I’m going to have trailers
attached to them to load up
the food.
THOMAS
Mayor you can’t do that.
My family can use that food
for ourselves since there is
no more need for money.
MAYOR
Look Thomas. Everyone is
going to have to chip in.
We have to work as a
whole.Do you understand
what is happening here?
THOMAS
But my store.
MAYOR
I’m sorry Thomas. None of
us asked to be in this
dilemma.
Captain Moore went over to talk to pk 121.
CAPTAIN MOORE
Lets go into the office in
the back pk121. I don’t
want any of the
townspeople to be alarm
with this news.
They both went into the back office.
CAPTAIN MOORE
Have a seat pk121. Tell me
everything.
PK121
Well captain as I told you
on the radio. My men and I
had spread out so we could
cover a larger area. One of
my men had discovered a
horse’ s head. Two more
horse’s heads were found.
Then we found both of the
two way radios. I was
looking at the radio and
found that it wasn’t
damaged.There were no
signs of the two peace
keepers in the forest. We
had hit a dead end. I think
that who or whatever got
a hold of those peace
keepers weren’t fooling
around.
Detective Scott Wright and Detective Phillip Turner had just walked into the peace keepers station. They were looking kind of scruffy. They showed their badges so the people would step aside. The people started leaving the station. Everyone had got into their cars and trucks. Soon the only ones that were in the station were the peace keepers, the mayor, Captain Moore, and pk121. Captain Moore and pk121 had left the office and came back to the front of the station.
MAYOR
What happened to the two
of you?
DETECTIVE WRIGHT
Our car died out. We were
investigating a call for
help. Someone’s car had
slid into a ditch. We went
to investigate and found
no one inside of the car.
We climbed back into our
car and it wouldn’t start.
There were no cars on the
road so we walked from
Oconomowoc to Jefferson
County. So please don’t
give me a hard time.
MAYOR
Why don’t you both go
home,take a bath and get
cleaned up. Stay home for
today and come back
tomorrow. Get some long
deserve sleep.
Detective Wright and Detective Turner slowly turned around and left the station to go home.
DETECTIVE WRIGHT
Oh by the way. We need a
lift.
MAYOR
Pk09 get a car and take
these two detectives home
and tomorrow I want you to
pick up these detectives at
0900, capeesh?
INT - DETECTIVE WRIGHT’S HOME - DAY
The next morning a knock was heard at the door.
DETECTIVE WRIGHT
Ok, I’ m coming.
He answered the door .
DETECTIVE WRIGHT
Oh it’ s you pk9. Come in
and what time is it anyway?
PK9
It’ s 9 o’ clock, sir.
DETECTIVE WRIGHT
Come in and have a seat.
Would you like some coffee
while I get dress?
PK9
No sir but just to let you
know I also have to pick up
Detective Turner. We’ll be
running late sir. The mayor
wouldn’t like it.
DETECTIVE WRIGHT
Since when did the mayor
get involved with police
business?
PK9
Well sir when the bombs
went off under the ocean
and all of the electricity
became neutralized except
for certain cars and things
we had lost 90 percent of
the peace keeper forces
including the chief of the
peace keepers. The mayor
had to step in to reorganize
the peace keepers. While
you and Detective Turner
were out a new plan had
to be developed for the
survival of the town.
DETECTIVE WRIGHT
Ok I’ m ready. Lets go.
They both got into the car and drove off towards Detective Turner’ s house.
PK9
We’ re lucky that this car
is running. All of the other
patrol cars were non-
functional. The pks had to
switch to horses and bikes.
DETECTIVE WRIGHT
The department don’ t have
any bikes.
PK9
The mayor had ordered
Harold Sweeney who runs
the bicycle shop to give up
the bikes for the department.
DETECTIVE WRIGHT
I know he was pissed.
PK9
Yes sir. He was but he had
no choice if he wanted the
peace keepers to look out
for him.
DETECTIVE WRIGHT
We’ re coming up on
Detective Turner’ s house
now. He just stays right
down the street from me.
I’ ll get him up.You can
wait here.
PK9
Yes sir.
EXT/INT - DETECTIVE TURNER’S HOUSE - DAY
Detective Wright got out of the car and walked over to Detective Turners house. He ranged the doorbell.
DETECTIVE WRIGHT
(talking to himself)
That’ s right. Without
electricity the doorbell
might not ring.
He knocked on the door. There was no answer. The door was unlocked.
DETECTIVE WRIGHT
(talking to himself)
That’ s not like Turner to
leave his door unlock.
He let himself in. The house was quiet.
DETECTIVE WRIGHT
Hey Turner it’ s me, Wright.
You left your door unlocked.
Detective Wright kept on searching for Turner.
DETECTIVE WRIGHT
(talking to himself)
Why is it so cold in here?
He walked into the dining room the kitchen and decided to walk upstairs to Turner’s bedroom.
DETECTIVE WRIGHT
(shouting)
Turner?
No answer. The bed looked as if it was slept in. Wright turned around to leave but then he stopped.
DETECTIVE WRIGHT
What the hell?
There was a three foot hole in Turner’ s bedroom wall.
DETECTIVE WRIGHT
(asking himself)
Now why would he put a
hole in his wall like that?
He ran downstairs and out to the car.
DETECTIVE WRIGHT
Lets go.
PK9
But where’ s Detective
Turner, sir?
DETECTIVE WRIGHT
Hell if I know. All I know
is he’s not in his house.
PK9
Do you suppose he got a
ride, sir? Maybe he forgot
that I was going to pick him
up. After all none of the
phones are working.
DETECTIVE WRIGHT
You’ re probably right.
Without any form of
communication he probably
forgot that we were coming.
I wonder what a three foot
hole is doing in his bedroom
wall?
INT - BRUCE AND KAREN’S HOME - DAY
Average townhouse condo. Karen goes upstairs to check on their two kids. They are no where to be found. Bruce runs upstairs to check also. He looks inside of their closet and there is a three foot hole in the wall behind their clothes. They checked the entire house. Bruce and Karen realizes that their kids were missing. They decided to drive to the peace keepers station.
BRUCE
(angry)
Karen, I’ m going to drive
around the neighborhood
first so I can see if
anything strange is
happening. Our kids are
missing and who ever took
them is going to pay.
KAREN
(worried)
But why ? Why Bruce? Why
our kids?
BRUCE
The streets are clear except
for some houses with holes
in the walls. How did those
holes get in those houses?
KAREN
We better tell the peace
keepers about this. Those
holes look just like the
one in our kids bedroom
closet.
BRUCE
Where’ s all the people in
the neighborhood. This
block looks like a ghost
town.
KAREN
I don’ t care. I want my
kids.
BRUCE
I’ m driving as fast as I
can. Here we are now.
EXT/INT - THE PEACE KEEPERS STATION - DAY
Karen and Bruce arrives at the peace keepers station. They both got out of the car. Karen couldn’t wait for Bruce. She ran up the stairs leading into the peace keepers station.
KAREN
(yelling)
Help, help.
The pks came running towards her then her husband came running in. The pks grabbed him and took him down to the floor. They pointed their guns at Bruce and told him to freeze. Bruce was too scared to do or say anything so he just laid there on the floor.
KAREN
Stop ! Stop ! That’ s my
husband. He’ s with me.
PK
Sorry sir. You came busting
in here like a wild man. We
didn’t’ t know what your
plans were.
KAREN
Someone had kidnapped our
kids.
PK
Calm down miss. You say
that someone had kidnapped
your kids?
BRUCE
There’ s a three foot hole
in the wall inside of our
kids closet and our kids
are missing.
Captain Moore came from around the desk.
CAPTAIN MOORE
Did you say a three foot
hole?
BRUCE
Yes, a three foot hole but
the strangest thing is on
our way here we passed
through one neighborhood
where there were several
homes with holes at least
the same size as the one
in our kids room. What’s
going on here officer?
CAPTAIN MOORE
You see that gentleman over
there behind the desk? Just
go over to him and tell him
your story. He’ll be taking
your case.
BRUCE
Thank you officer.
CAPTAIN MOORE
There’ s definitely
something wrong here.
Townspeople turning up
missing without a trace.
Captain Moore walked towards the mayor’ s office. He knocks on the door.
MAYOR
Come in captain.
CAPTAIN MOORE
Mayor Miller. We have a
serious problem in our town.
MAYOR
Explain yourself, captain.
CAPTAIN MOORE
First we are isolated away
from everyone else. Second
there’ s missing townspeople
by the dozen or more and
without a trace.
MAYOR
And what is the third?
CAPTAIN MOORE
The third is some of the
people’s heads are the
only ones found.
MAYOR
What do that sound like to
you?
CAPTAIN MOORE
It sounds like the same kind
of mystery that we all were
facing until we had proof
that those aliens were
responsible. It was that
proof that led to all this
destruction. The government
thought that nuking the
ocean would destroy all of
them. Ten of their spaceships
were discovered leaving the
Earth’ s atmosphere. We
thought that was the end of
them.
MAYOR
Do you think that some of
them were left behind?
CAPTAIN MOORE
Either that or they came
back.
MAYOR
Well if they came back
then there is no hope for
mankind. Not with our
limited resources.
CAPTAIN MOORE
I know. Man had destroyed
his own planet to get rid of
the alien beings who now
will take over the Earth.
MAYOR
We have to warn the
townspeople.
CAPTAIN MOORE
I’ ll call all the pks to
return to the station.
MAYOR
What’ s the plan?
CAPTAIN MOORE
We’ ll figure that out when
everyone is here.
EXT - THE STREETS OF THE TOWN OF JEFFERSON - DAY
Peace keepers were riding horses and bikes. Some of them were in cars when their shoulder radios were announcing a message.
ANNOUNCEMENT
All peace keepers return to
the station. This is a code
505. All peace keepers
return to the station. This
is a code 505.
All of the peace keepers had stopped what they were doing. Those who were on horses had galloped back to the station. Those who were in cars had gunned their motors so they wouldn’t waist any time returning back to the station. The rest who were on bikes had peddled as hard as they could so they would not be too far behind.
INT - PEACE KEEPERS STATION - NIGHT
After about forty five minutes all of the peace keepers were accounted for. Detective Wright had entered.
DETECTIVE WRIGHT
What is the 505 for?
CAPTAIN MOORE
Everything will be explain
to you. Mr. Mayor? Would
you like to explain the
situation?
MAYOR
I most certainly would. I
want you all to understand
this. What we are facing
with is the right for
mankind to live. The aliens
came back. We thought that
they were frightened off.
We nearly destroyed our
own planet just to get rid
of them but the plan didn’t
work because now they are
back and this time we do
not have the proper weapons
to defeat them. Our
resources are now limited.
We need to go out there
and round up all the
townspeople and bring them
back here. By force if
necessary. Are there any
questions?
A hand went up.
MAYOR
Detective Wright?
DETECTIVE WRIGHT
Mr. Mayor? The way the
people are being kidnapped
and killed the aliens must
have a weapon that we are
not familiar with. They are
able to sneak up on us
somehow.They must have
a way of not being detected.
Their technology is far
more advanced than ours.
How can we fight against
that?
MAYOR
That do strike a problem.
Another hand was raised.
MAYOR
Yes?
PK30
I might have a solution. We
could place speakers on top
of cars and rig up
microphones. Then we
could drive through the
neighborhoods announcing
the emergency.
MAYOR
That is the best answer,
yet. Everyone get a hold of
some speakers and attach
them to the cars.
PK19
How can we get all of the
townspeople inside of this
station?
MAYOR
Lets use the school’s
auditorium. That should
hold everyone.
The peace keepers were all working on the sound system. They were testing it. Everything was going fine.
PK23
(shouting)
Captain Moore.
CAPTAIN MOORE
Yes pk23?
PK23
I have communication, sir.
Captain Moore ran over to the radio.
CAPTAIN MOORE
Hand me the mike.
Pk23 handed the mike to Captain Moore.
CAPTAIN MOORE
This is Peace Keepers Station,
Jefferson County come in.This
is Peace Keepers Station,
Jefferson County, come in, over.
A voice was heard coming from the radio.
BRASLOW
Hey guys! You’re alive out
there. Over.
CAPTAIN MOORE
You’ re damn right we’ re
alive. We thought we were
the only ones alive. Where
are you calling from? Over.
BRASLOW
Chicago, My names’ s
Braslow. I’m a
communications student
at University of Illinois.
The classroom have a cb
radio in it. I’ m standing by
it for communication
purposes. Over.
CAPTAIN MOORE
That’ s good thinking,
Braslow.How’ s everything
in Chicago? Over.
BRASLOW
It’ s dead out here. It’ s
like a ghost town. Every
now and then, I would see
several strange creatures
flying by in the air. I’ ve
never seen anything like
them before.They look like
those creatures I’ ve seen
on TV, before we destroyed
our planet. Over.
CAPTAIN MOORE
How many are they? Do
you know? Over.
BRASLOW
There must be a lot. I’
seeing at least fifteen to
twenty of them an hour.
Some of them are carrying
bodies. They must be
multiplying. If people saw
them as I did then they
must all be hiding. Over.
CAPTAIN MOORE
My God! That’ s probably
what’s happening here.
Have you been able to
reach anyone else? Over.
BRASLOW
No. I was lucky that I was
able to reach you. Over.
CAPTAIN MOORE
Why don’t you stay put.
What’s your frequency?
Over.
BRASLOW
Fifty two and I’ m not going
anywhere with those things
out there. I have all the
food I need right here.
Over.
CAPTAIN MOORE
Where are the other
students? Over.
BRASLOW
They all scattered out of
here to be with their
families, Over.
CAPTAIN MOORE
Well, I’m glad you stayed.
BRASLOW
I was a foster child. I
didn’t have a family so
there was no one I had to
see.
CAPTAIN MOORE
I’ m sorry.
BRASLOW
Don’ t worry. I’ ll stay
by the radio. I already have
your frequency. Over and
out.
CAPTAIN MOORE
So there you have it. Those
aliens had came back and
they’re multiplying.
PK11
What are we going to do?
MAYOR MILLER
We are going to do just as
we had planned. Go out
their and knock on every
citizen’s door and bring
them back here for their
protection.Those who have
cars are going to have to
carpool those who don’ t.
Turn on those speakers on
top of the car and get
moving.
INT - UNDERGROUND TUNNEL - NIGHT
Deep inside of the woods of Jefferson County there lies hidden underneath a slab of granite a tunnel that stretches for miles in different directions. A twilight glow makes it possible to see throughout the tunnel. The source of the glow is far beyond our technology. Clicking sounds were coming from deep inside of the tunnel. Then cries for help.
INT - THE HERNANDEZ HOME - DAY
Country home with sun porch that has an open view of a field of sun flowers and a heavy wooded area at least one hundred yards away from the home. A little girl and her puppy were playing in the field of flowers. Ruth and Carl Hernandez were sitting at their table drinking coffee. The doorbell had rung.
RUTH
I wonder who that is?
She went to answer the door.
RUTH
(she screamed)
Tony!
Carl jumped up from the table and ran to the door.
CARL
My God. It is you.
There was a helicopter parked right in their field.
CAPTAIN BECK
Hi Sis.Hi Carl. I ’ve
decided to come here to be
my sister because of the
Problems the world is facing
now.
CARL
Gee Tony. I heard that you
had circled the Earth over
160 times. What’s left of
it anyway.
CAPTAIN BECK
Where’s my niece,
Samantha?
RUTH
She’s outside playing.
Samantha was playing with her dog Putt Putt. She have a dog whistle she uses to call her little puppy. Every time Putt Putt hears the whistle her ears stick up as though she knew it was play time. There was a lot of thick wooded areas around their ranch.
CARL
Ruth we have plenty of
firewood out in the shed
now.
RUTH
Thank goodness for that.
No one could’ve predicted
that our way of living
would change like this.
Do you suppose that all
of this will end soon?
CAPTAIN BECK
When the New World
Council had decided that
hundreds of nuclear bombs
were going to be dropped
at the bottom of the oceans
around the world I knew
that something terrible was
going to come out of it.
Putt Putt was playing with Samantha when suddenly she took off running toward the woods barking.
SAMANTHA
Putt Putt come back.
Putt Putt had sensed something in the woods. She ran over to see what it was barking all the time. Samantha heard Putt Putt barking.
SAMANTHA
(talking to herself)
She must have spotted a
raccoon.
Then the barking stopped.
SAMANTHA
Putt Putt
Still there was no barking. Samantha lifted her dog whistle off from around her neck. She blew her whistle as she ran into the woods where Putt Putt had entered. She blew her whistle again. Putt Putt started barking again. Samantha ran over to where Putt Putt was. Putt Putt was pulling at something on the ground. Samantha walked over to see what it was. She looked down.
SAMANTHA
(screaming)
Ahhhh!
Ruth,Carl,and Captain Beck had jumped up from the table and ran outside.
CARL
(shouting)
Samantha!
RUTH
(shouting)
Samantha!
They all heard Samantha screams. They ran in the direction from where it came.
CARL
She’s in the woods.
CAPTAIN BECK
(shouting)
Samantha!
Putt Putt started barking. She ran towards Ruth and Carl.
CARL
Putt Putt where’s
Samantha?
Putt Putt ran further into the woods. Ruth,Carl,and Captain Beck followed. There was an opening in the woods. Samantha was laying on the ground. She had fainted. Ruth ran over to Samantha.
RUTH
(scared)
Samantha!
Carl and Captain Beck had turned around to see what Putt Putt was barking at.
CARL
Jesus Christ! What the hell
is that?
CAPTAIN BECK
It’s one of them.
Ruth held Samantha in her arms and started to walk over to Carl and Captain Beck.
SAMANTHA
No momma. I don’ t want
to go.
RUTH
What are you so afraid of
dear?
Ruth left Samantha over by the tree. She then walked over to where Carl and Captain Beck was standing.
RUTH
What is it Tony?
Ruth looked down.
RUTH
(screamed)
Ahhh!
CARL
You see Ruth? It’s one of
them.
RUTH
Is that one of the things
that caused all of this?
CAPTAIN BECK
Yes, Ruth. That’ s one of
them.
RUTH
What’s that on it’s side?
CAPTAIN BECK
A weapon of some sort.
I’ m going to try and
remove it.
Captain Beck bent down to take off the weapon. He couldn’t find the catch.
CAPTAIN BECK
There must be some kind of
lever or a catch somewhere.
Captain Beck kept on running his fingers around the weapon holder. The weapon had unhinged itself. He was now holding it.
CARL
We got to get to the peace
keepers station.
RUTH
What are we going to do
with that creature?
CARL
Leave it here. We’ll come
back with the peace
keepers.They’ll know what
to do.
RUTH
I’ll take Sam back to the
house.
CAPTAIN BECK
I’ll be along in a minute.
RUTH
(concerned)
No Tony. You and Carl are
coming with us right now.
We don’t know how long
that creature is going to
remain that way.
CAPTAIN BECK
You know something?
Your wife have a point. My
sister have always been the
bossy type in the family.
CARL
Ok. We’ll go with you.
Lets hurry. I want the
peace keepers to see this.
They walked hurriedly out of the woods and straight to the car.
CAPTAIN BECK
I have a faster way.
They all turned to look at the helicopter out in the field. They got into the helicopter and quickly took off.
SAMANTHA
Daddy I’ m scared.
CARL
Don’t worry honey.
Everything’s going to be
alright.
RUTH
Do you really believe that
Carl?
CARL
(Talking quietly)
Look Ruth. What else do
you want me to tell her.
Look at her. She’s scared
to death.
RUTH
I’ m sorry honey. I’ m just
so confused about all of
this.
CARL
I am too Ruth. We don’t
know how many of those
things are out there. Ok,
the peace keepers station
is right down there Tony.
EXT/INT - PEACE KEEPERS STATION - DAY
Captain Beck landed the helicopter in the street in front of the station. They all got out and ran into the PK station. A lot of townspeople were there with the peace keepers. So was the mayor. Carl saw Captain Moore.
CARL
(excited)
Captain Moore?
Everyone had turned around at the sound of the outburst. They saw a man dressed in an Air Force uniform. They also saw Ruth and Carl.
CARL
We got one.
CAPTAIN MOORE
Calm down Carl. Just what
do you have?
CAPTAIN BECK
I’m Captain Beck United
States Air Force or what’s
left of it. We have an alien
creature out in their field.
CAPTAIN MOORE
Well Captain Beck I’m
Captain Moore. Jefferson
Police. What brings you
here and what about that
alien you supposed to have
found?
CAPTAIN BECK
I’m here to be with my only
family. Ruth is my sister
and Carl is my brother-in-
law. My niece, Samantha
had found it laying in the
field.I spotted the alien
space ships while I was
orbiting the planet.
CAPTAIN MOORE
How did you survive to tell
me this?
CARL
It was already laying on
the ground in the woods.
Putt Putt found it laying
there.
CAPTAIN MOORE
What did it look like?
CARL
It’ s the ugliest thing I
had ever seen. It looks like
it could be about nine or
ten feet tall. It’ s hard to
tell while it’s laying down
but that is my best guest.
MAYOR MILLER
Ok we’ve got our first break.
CAPTAIN MOORE
What do you mean, Mayor?
MAYOR
Think about it. You pks can
get a pick-up truck. Go back
to the farm. Tie this creature
up and bring it back here to
lock it up.
DETECTIVE WRIGHT
But what if that thing wakes
up while we are driving?
CAPTAIN BECK
I have a helicopter right
outside. We can tie it up
and I’ll fly it back here.
CAPTAIN MOORE
You mean you have a
helicopter?
CAPTAIN BECK
Yes I do.
CAPTAIN MOORE
That will do fine. Lets fly
out there with a tarp to
wrap it with and a rope to
tie it up.
CARL
What will happen if it wakes
up while we are tying it up?
CAPTAIN MOORE
Then we’ll shoot it.
PK
How do you know if our
guns will even have an
effect on it?
CAPTAIN BECK
I have it’s weapon.
Captain Beck took out the weapon from his inside pocket and showed it to the mayor and Captain Moore.
MAYOR MILLER
What the hell is that and
where did you get it?
CAPTAIN BECK
I took it from the creatures
side.
MAYOR MILLER
Did you figure out how to
work it?
CAPTAIN BECK
I didn’t want to fool around
with it.
CAPTAIN MOORE
Let me see it.
Captain Beck handed the weapon over to Captain Moore. Captain Moore looked at it. He turned it around in his hands. The mayor asked to see it. The Captain Moore handed it over to the mayor.
MAYOR MILLER
There’s no trigger
Mechanism .How does it
work?
CAPTAIN MOORE
What about those symbols?
The mayor started running his fingers around the symbols.
CAPTAIN BECK
Mr. Mayor I wouldn’t mess
around with it until we have
a secured environment.
The mayor was too focused on the symbols. He rubbed his fingers on a symbol and the weapon went off. Pk26 was in the line of fire. A ray had shot off and went right through the middle part of his body. His legs fell to the floor and his head from the neck up fell on top of his legs. The legs started twitching. The eyes started blinking while the mouth was opening and closing as though it was trying to talk. A moment later the eyes stopped blinking and just stared. The legs had stopped twitching and the mouth remained opened. Captain Beck snatched the weapon from Mayor Miller. There were screams. Everyone ran over to where Pk26 remained. Some ran away from the scene. Some had panicked.
A VOICE
How can we fight against
creatures with weapons like
that?
The mayor just looked down at the damage he had caused.
MAYOR MILLER
Captain Moore? I don’t
know what to say. I’m
going back to my office.
You handle everything.
The mayor just lowered his head, and walked away. The townspeople were too much in shock to cast any blame. They just watched the mayor leave. Someone had yelled out.
VOICE
We can’t blame the mayor
for what just happened.
Any one of us could have
made that same mistake.
CAPTAIN MOORE
We’re not blaming him.
Those are aliens out there
and there are bound to be
some mistakes made by us.
Look at what the
governments of the
world had already done.
Did Pk26 have any family?
PK 44
His family lives in Florida.
CAPTAIN MOORE
You mean what used to be
Florida. We’ll give him a
Decent burial.
The Pks gathered around the remains of Pk26.Captain Beck had placed a sheet on top of Pk26,and rolled his head, and legs into it. They then went outside to bury him. While the Pks were outside the townspeople continued arguing with Captain Moore.
TOM
What are you going to do
About that weapon?
CAPTAIN MOORE
First of all I’ m going to
lock it up until we figure
out how it works. Will you
hand over that weapon to
me Captain?
Captain Beck handed over the weapon.
CAPTAIN BECK
Be careful with it. The
mayor had just rubbed one
of those symbols and that’s
when it went off. If we
could just get inside a
closed area where there are
no crowds of people we
might be able to experiment
with it. This could be just
the weapon we need to
fight back.
CAPTAIN MOORE
You’ve got a point Captain.
I think that we should get
over to Carl’s place and
pick up that creature.
The townspeople ran to their cars. Those who didn’t have cars rode with other townspeople. They took off towards Carl’s farm.
CAPTAIN MOORE
Lets hurry up and get to
Carl’s place before the
townspeople do.
Captain Beck, Captain Moore, and Carl left for the helicopter and flew off.
CAPTAIN MOORE
I’m glad we have this
helicopter. Those
townspeople will try and
capture the creature without
giving it a second thought.
CAPTAIN BECK
And they would probably
die doing it.
The women had stayed behind with some other Pks. They had stepped back to allow the men to do what they felt was necessary to do.
GINA
Glory be Katherine. Do you
suppose that those aliens
will try to find their missing
comrade?
KATHERINE
I hope not.
Some of the townspeople had stopped over to the liquor store to grab some beer.
MARK
Now we really are ready to
kick some alien ass.
JOSEPH
Yea,I’m going to cook me
some ET for dinner tonight.
EXT - CARL AND RUTH’S RANCH - DAY
The helicopter landed on top of Carl’s field. They all got out.
CARL
It’s right behind that tree.
They all walked slowly. There was a figure on the ground. Half covered with leaves. They walked over to it.
CAPTAIN MOORE
Jesus Christ! Is it dead?
CAPTAIN BECK
I put my ears to it’s chest
and heard a heartbeat.
CAPTAIN MOORE
Hurry up and tie this
creature up.
Captain Moore tried to put handcuffs around the creatures wrist but couldn’t.
CAPTAIN MOORE
You know something?
These handcuffs won’t fit.
CAPTAIN BECK
Lets try this rope.
CAPTAIN MOORE
Good. Hurry up before
those townspeople arrive.
They started wrapping the alien up as though they were in a rodeo. Captain Beck tied the other end of the rope to the bottom of the helicopter.
CAPTAIN BECK
Ok,I’m ready. We should
go.
They all got back inside of the helicopter and took off. The townspeople had arrived five minutes later. Drunk and yelling. Harris acted as the leader of the bunch.
HARRIS
Over here. The tracks lead
this way.
The townspeople started yelling.
MARTIN
It’s on now.
MARTINEZ
I’m taking my rifle just in
case.
TAYLOR
I think we all better take
our guns.
Everyone had grabbed their guns out of their vehicles.
HARRIS
Lets go.
They all went into the woods drunk and yelling.
MARTINEZ
I can see some tracks. They
lead this way.
They all followed in the direction the tracks lead.
TAYLOR
Right here. There seems to
be more than one set of
tracks here.
Everyone started walking around the area.
THOMPSON
Maybe it just got up
and left.
HARRIS
Damn it. I knew it was too
good to be true. Lets get
out of here.
MARTINEZ
Wait a minute.
Everyone had turned around to look at Martinez. He had a rope in his hands.
MARTINEZ
Something strange is going
On. This rope has been cut.
It was laying right over
here. Why would anyone
have a rope at the scene
where the creature was?
HARRIS
Everyone fan out.
They all started walking in different directions.
THOMSON
Hey,over here.
They all ran over to where Thompson was. He pointed down at the ground.
TAYLOR
Look at this. These thick
lines. It was that helicopter
that was parked outside of
the PK Station. Maybe the
Pks were here and beat us
to the punch.
HARRIS
They’re probably back at
the PK Station.
MARTINEZ
The party’s on.
They all went back to their cars and sped off in the direction of the PK Station.
INT - PEACE KEEPERS STATION - DAY
Some of the peace keepers were at the station keeping the women and children calm.
KIMBERLY
The government knew that
aliens had been landing here
for a long time. Why had
they been lying to us all
this time?
PK61
We were all on a need to
know bases.
CHICKA
I suppose area 51 was a lie
too, right?
PK61
Everything on that side of
the country is underwater as
far as I was told.
ABENA
Why did the New World
Council agree to this
destruction?
PK61
I don’ t think they knew all
of this was going to happen.
The door flew open.
CAPTAIN MOORE
Everyone stand back.
Captain Moore, Captain Beck, and Carl, were carrying something huge into the station.
CAPTAIN MOORE
Take it straight back to the
cells.
They all rushed toward the back of the station. The mayor came out of his office.
MAYOR
What’s going on?
CAPTAIN MOORE
We’ve captured one of them.
MAYOR
One of what?
CAPTAIN BECK
We have one of those aliens.
CAPTAIN MOORE
Put it in here. We have a
video camera over head. It
can be monitored from out
there. Bring that alien
weapon over here and watch
how you handle it Pk61.The
rest of you keep your guns
trained on that alien while
we untie it.
Pk 61 left to get the alien weapon. The rest of the peace keepers trained their weapons on the alien.
PK 61
I have it, captain.
CAPTAIN MOORE
Mr. Mayor. Will you come
over here?
The mayor walked over to Captain Moore.
MAYOR MILLER
I don’t feel like much of a
mayor anymore.
CAPTAIN BECK
Look Mayor Miller. What
happened out there
could’ve happened to
anyone. Even me.Right
now I want you to
carefully point to the
symbol that made the
weapon go off.You don’t
have to touch it.Just point
to it.
MAYOR MILLER
It was this symbol.
CAPTAIN BECK
What exactly did you do?
MAYOR MILLER
I just applied some pressure
on that symbol.
CAPTAIN BECK
Don’t untie that creature
until I get back.
INT/EXT - OUTSIDE - DAY
Captain Beck left to go outside just as the rest of the townspeople had arrived from Carl’s place. He went over by a tree and pointed the weapon at it. The rest of the townspeople had jumped out of their cars and trucks. Still drunk and yelling.
HARRIS
That’s the Air Force guy
over there. He’s the one
that have the alien.
THOMPSON
They probably have it
inside.
HARRIS
It’s up to us to take
matters into our own hands.
MARTINEZ
Lets go in and drag that
creature out here and burn
it.
TAYLOR
We’ll need some leverage.
Lets grab that Air Force
guy over there and hold him
hostage until they turn over
that alien.
They all walked over to where Captain Beck was standing. All of them were carrying their guns. Captain Beck didn’t acknowledge their presence. He kept focusing on that tree. As the townspeople came nearer the weapon that Captain Beck was holding had shot off a ray that blasted the tree in half. The tree fell to the ground smoking. Captain Beck had turned around.
CAPTAIN BECK
Oh! I didn’t see you
standing there. Did you all
want something?
The townspeople looked at Captain Beck with their mouths frozen opened. Harris yelled out.
HARRIS
Hell no.
They ran in all directions.
CAPTAIN BECK
I guess it wasn’t important.
EXT/INT - PEACE KEEPERS STATION - DAY
Captain Beck went back into the station. The women and children were all calm. Pk61 had done a good job answering all of their questions and keeping them calm. Captain Beck went straight to the back.
CAPTAIN BECK
Ok I’ve figured it out. You
can untie those ropes now.
The peace keepers unwrapped the tarp and cut loose the ropes. The alien was still not moving
CAPTAIN MOORE
Ok everyone out.
Everyone had left the cell. Captain Moore had used a cell with a steel door that was two inches thick. It had a bulletproof window on it that was also two inches thick. They all went back to the front of the station.
CAPTAIN BECK
Now this is what I call
close encounters of the
third kind.
Captain Moore sat behind his desk and turned on the monitor. It showed that the alien was still not moving.
CAPTAIN MOORE
We can keep an eye on it
from here.
DETECTIVE WRIGHT
Captain Beck? What are we
going to do with it?
CAPTAIN BECK
Well we are going to have
to figure out how to deal
with it’s kind. What
happened that made it
appear in this condition?
What made it so
vulnerable?
We need some leverage.
Chicago is swarming with
those things and if we don’t
find out how to get beyond
their technology they are
going to be the new
dominant species.
Ruth and Carl was sitting out in front of the peace keepers station. Ruth was holding Samantha and Samantha was playing with Putt Putt while blowing on her dog whistle. She likes to make Putt Putt’s ears go up. Putt Putt likes it too.
RUTH
Samantha I have some
sandwiches in my purse. I
want you to stop playing
with Putt Putt for a while
and eat,ok?
SAMANTHA
Ok, momma.
Samantha dropped the whistle from her mouth. The whistle was hanging from a thin chain around Samantha’s neck.
CAPTAIN MOORE
Ok,what do we have at the
moment?
CAPTAIN BECK
Well Captain. We have an
alien weapon and I must say
a most powerful weapon it is
too. I blew a tree in half
with that weapon.
CAPTAIN MOORE
An army with weapons like
that can rule the world and
since those alien creatures
are armed with weapons like
that we don’t stand a
chance.
PK61
Maybe if we do an autopsy
on that alien we might find
out something.
CAPTAIN MOORE
The alien is still alive. It
have to be dead in order to
do an autopsy.
TOWNSMAN
Well lets kill it.
CAPTAIN MOORE
I don’t want anything to
happen to this creature. A
lot of our townspeople are
missing. This creature might
be just what we need to
bargain with in order to
get back those people.
ANOTHER TOWNSMAN
They might already be dead.
CAPTAIN MOORE
Probably so but until I
have proof I’ m going to
give them every chance they
need.
CAPTAIN BECK
Captain Moore look!
They all looked at the monitor. The alien creature was flying around the room bumping into the walls as though it was trying to find a way out. Carl, Ruth, Samantha, and the rest of the townspeople were trying to look at the monitor. The captain turned the monitor around so they all could see.
RUTH
Oh My! That is the most
scariest creature I’ve ever
seen.
CARL
Look at the wing spread.
Captain Beck The wings
must be at least six feet in
length.
Putt Putt jumped out of Samantha’s arms.
SAMANTHA
Putt Putt come back.
Momma let go of my arm.
I need my whistle to call
Putt Putt.
Ruth let go of Samantha’s arm all while looking at the monitor. Samantha blew her whistle and the creature inside of the cell fell to the floor as sudden as it has risen. Putt Putt came back and jumped into Samantha’s arms. Everyone turned around to look at Samantha. Samantha was sitting down in one of the chairs holding her puppy.
SAMANTHA
Now Putt Putt you know
better than to jump out of
my arms when we are so
high up. You might break
your legs.
CAPTAIN BECK
Ruth will you call Samantha
over here? I would just like
to asked her a few questions.
RUTH
Sure Tony. Samantha dear.
Will you come here for a
minute?
SAMANTHA
Ok, momma.
Samantha grabbed Putt Putt and placed the puppy in her arms. She walked slowly towards the center of the station. She walked up the stairs and through the crowd of people. Captain Beck reached down to pick up Samantha and her little puppy and placed them both on Captain Moore’s
desk.
CAPTAIN BECK
Samantha can I ask you a
few questions.
SAMANTHA
Sure Uncle Tony. What do
you want to know?
CAPTAIN BECK
Samantha you was in the
field playing with Putt
Putt, right?
SAMANTHA
Yes.
CAPTAIN BECK
Samantha can you tell me
what happened?
SAMANTHA
Well me and Putt Putt
was playing and then Putt
Putt heard something. She
ran into the woods barking.
I ran after her. That’s
when I blew my whistle. I
saw Putt Putt barking at
that monster.
CAPTAIN BECK
Samantha can I borrow
your whistle for a while?
I want to try an experiment
on that monster.
SAMANTHA
But what if Putt Putt gets
away.
CAPTAIN MOORE
I have something for Putt
Putt.
Captain Moore reach into his drawer and pulled out a leash.
CAPTAIN MOORE
This leash is for our peace
keeper dogs.
Captain Moore took out a pair of scissors and cut the leash so it could fit around Putt Putt’s neck.
CAPTAIN MOORE
This is for Putt Putt. He is
now our new peace keeper
dog.
He placed the leash around Putt Putt’s neck and the other end he gave to Samantha.
CAPTAIN MOORE
You hold on to this
Samantha and Putt Putt
will never get away.
SAMANTHA
Wow! Look momma. Putt
Putt is a peace keeper dog.
Come on Putt Putt.
Captain Beck put Samantha down on the floor along with Putt Putt. Putt Putt ran while Samantha was holding on to the leash.
SAMANTHA
(laughing)
Ha ha ha ha
Putt Putt pulled Samantha over to an eight year old African American girl who’s name was Abiena. Putt Putt knew her too and he liked her.
SAMANTHA
Come on Abiena. Lets play
with Putt Putt.
ABIENA
Mom can I go?
ABIENA’S MOTHER
Go ahead, honey, but don’t
go far.
They both ran around the peace keepers station playing with Putt Putt.
CAPTAIN BECK
Now if what I suspect is
true then we might be able
to beat those aliens at
their own game and maybe,
just maybe, mankind will
survive.
CAPTAIN MOORE
What do you mean?
CAPTAIN BECK
I don’t want to say it too
soon. Just let me know
when that alien gets up
again.
CAPTAIN MOORE
Hey Captain Beck. You’re
on to something. I know.
DETECTIVE WRIGHT
Come on Captain Beck. Let
us in on it.
CAPTAIN BECK
I can’t. Not now.
CAPTAIN MOORE
Pk61.Get on the radio and
call that kid in Chicago.
PK61
Sure will, captain.
INT - CHICAGO - UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS - DAY
Braslow was standing by the radio.
BRASLOW
(talking to himself)
God, I’ m so hungry. I ran
out of food and if I stay
here and hide I’ll starve to
death. Should I take a
chance and slip down to
the cafeteria? I don’t know.
I wonder if those creatures
had made their way
inside of the university. I
have to eat something. I’ll
just slip down those stairs.
I can enter into the
cafeteria through the back
entrance.
Braslow tiptoed down the stairwell. He passed the second floor.
BRASLOW
It’ s so quiet.
He tiptoed down the first floor. He opened the hallway door and peaked out through it into the hallway.
BRASLOW
So far, so good.
He listened. He crept. No sound at all. He saw the cafeteria straight ahead. He walked quietly towards it.
BRASLOW
I made it.
He opened the door and crept inside. There was food still behind the counter.
BRASLOW
I can load up on all of
this. This should last me a
good while.
He reached for a sweet roll.
BRASLOW
What’s wrong with my
arm? I can’t move it. I
can’ t move my mouth.
What’s happening?
All of his questions were in his mind. His questions were answered.
BRASLOW
What is that ? Stay away!
No! Nooo! Stay away!
His cries could not be heard. The creature started eating at his waist. Then it stopped and switched to his arms. It had stopped midway up his arms to start eating on his ears and nose.
BRASLOW
Aaahhhh!
Braslow cried inside of his mind. He fell to the floor while the Argolian continued eating him up alive.
Back inside of the communication room of the university a CB Radio was sounding off. The microphone was left on.
VOICE ON RADIO
This is the Jefferson
County Peace Keepers
Station calling Braslow,
over. This is the Jefferson
County Peace Keepers
Station, calling Braslow,
over.
An Argolian slowly crept up to the sound of the radio making clicking and grunting sounds near the microphone.
EXT - STREETS OF CHICAGO - DAY
More Argolians were walking the streets of Chicago. On 75th street and Cottage Grove an Argolian was dragging a helpless human under it’s arms. The human was in a frozen state. Three more Argolians were walking across the street dragging humans under their arms. Some of the humans had no arms. Some had no lower parts of their bodies. The Argolians are not known for releasing their mind hold on their prey. They like to sense their prey’s suffering.
On Martin Luther King Dr. the streets were crawling with Argolians. Some were carrying human heads. Some were carrying children’s bodies, half eaten. The more the Argolians eat the more they reproduce.
EXT - NORTH SIDE OF CHICAGO - DAY
On Fullerton street Argolians were flying around in between buildings. Crawling up the building walls like locust. Inside of one building a group of people had barricaded themselves into one room. Tony, Bridget, Mecka, Janice, and Erron were huddled together.
ERRON
This just can’t be the end
of the human race.
Tony was looking out of the window.
TONY
Look at them. They’re all
over the place.
JANICE
Get down Tony before they
see you.
MECKA
It wasn’t that many of them
a few days ago. Where did
they all come from?
TONY
I saw one of them carrying
a body down the side of a
building.
MECKA
I’ m so scared.
ERRON
We’ ve been here for three
days now. We haven’t eaten
anything and yet if we go
out they’ll catch us.
JANICE
If we stay here we’ll starve
to death.
TONY
So we have a choice. We
stay and starve or we
try and make it to some
food but risk getting
eaten by those things.
BRIDGET
It looks like we’re going
to die anyway. All we have
to do is choose how.
JANICE
Yea what a choice to make.
TONY
Well I’ m not moving.
JANICE
Me neither.
ERRON
I can’t stay here.
BRIDGET
I’ m going with Erron.
MECKA
I’ m starving but I’m too
afraid to be captured by
those things.
ERRON
Good luck, guys.
BRIDGET
Wait up.
They both left.
TONY
I don’t know what else to
do.
MECKA
I don’ t want to die like
this.
JANICE
Maybe someone will come
to help us.
TONY
I doubt it. You should see
those things out there.
They’re everywhere.
Almost everyone of them
are carrying a human body.
Janice crawled over to the
window to take a peak.
JANICE
Oh my God! We’re going
to die for sure.
Mecka crawled over to the window. She raised up her head. She stood up holding her head shouting.
MECKA
(shouting)
No ! no !
Tony pulled her down to the floor.
TONY
Get down. You’ re going
to get us all killed.
JANICE
Do you think they saw her?
TONY
I hope not.
Mecka was on the floor, crying.
JANICE
Tony do you suppose they
made it? Tony? Tony? Why
isn’t he answering me?
Tony sat looking at the floor.
TONY
I can’t raise my head.
What’s going on?
MECKA
I want to wipe my eyes but
I can’t move my arms.
What’s wrong with me?
Suddenly a figure slowly crept through the door. Janice saw the creature coming towards her.
JANICE
(shouting)
Nooooo! Noooo! Noooo!
Ahhhh!
She screamed inside of her mind. The Argolian started eating on her left leg as she remained in a frozen state.The left leg came off. The Argolian started eating her right arm. The arm came off. The Argolian picked her up and carried her out of the room leaving a trail of blood. Janice screamed a scream of torture inside of her mind as the creature left with her under it’s arms. Tony and Mecka became unfrozen.
TONY
(talking loud)
That’s it. I’m leaving. I
saw that thing coming
out of the corner of my
eye. I saw it eating on
Janice without her making
a sound. How can that be?
Mecka
Look at all the blood. I
couldn’t see anything. All
I could hear was this
strange clicking sound.
TONY
I want to leave this place.
That creature knows where
we are now. Lets get out
of here.
Tony and Mecka left the room. They walked down the corridoor. There was a trail of blood all down the hall.
MECKA
Should we take the
elevator or the stairs?
TONY
I don’t know. If we take
the elevator it might attract
them from the sound of the
bell going off. Lets take
the stairs.
MECKA
Ok.
INT - THE STAIRWELL - DAY
They walked over to the stairwell. Tony opened the door. As they started walking down the stairs Mecka had slipped. Tony picked her up. He looked down and saw blood all down the stairs. He saw a ripped up shirt.
TONY
This looks like Erron’s
shirt.
They kept on walking down the stairs when Mecka had picked up a piece of material.
MECKA
Oh my God! This looks
like Janice’s blouse. I can’t
take this anymore.
Mecka ran down the stairs.
TONY
Mecka don’t !
Mecka had panicked. There was no stopping her now. She ran to the first floor and out the door into the street.
EXT - THE STREET- DAY
As Mecka was running. She slowed down to a stop.
MECKA
Why did I stop? I got to
get out of here. I can’t
move my legs. Please
God. I can’t move my
legs. Help me, please.
She was frozen and her face was looking straight ahead. Three Argolians had dropped right in front of her.
MECKA
(screaming)
Nooo! Noooooo! Noooooo!
She screamed inside of her mind. They crept closer.
MECKA
(shouting in her mind)
Stop! Stop! Stay back.
They lifted up her arms and legs. Each Argolian had a part of her body inside of their mouths. Mecka screamed a torturous scream but it was a silent scream as the Argolians ate her up alive.
INT - THE BUILDING - DAY
Tony saw through a window where the view was out to the street. He saw Mecka running and then she stopped. He saw the creatures eat her up alive. They left nothing to mourn over.
TONY
What a horrible way to go.
Tony heard a clicking sound. He turned around and was face to face with an Argolian. He couldn’t’ move. The Argolian picked up Tony like he was a baby. Placed him under it’s arms and carried him away. Tony screamed inside of his head.
TONY
(screaming in his mind)
Nooooooo!
INT - PEACE KEEPERS STATION - DAY
Back in Jefferson County at the peace keepers station. Captain Moore was getting a response from Pk61 about the radio contact with Chicago.
PK61
Sir, I’ve tried to contact
Braslow in Chicago but all
I’m getting is a clicking
sound from the other end.
CAPTAIN MOORE
You couldn’t make out
anything else?
PK61
Nothing sir although it did
sound like some kind of
grunting.
CAPTAIN BECK
Grunting?
PK61
Yes, sir.
CAPTAIN BECK
What did the grunting
sound like?
PK61
It sounded like a dog sir.
I know it doesn’t make
any sense so I figured
that maybe a dog had
gotten into the
place.
CAPTAIN BECK
I have a strange feeling
about the state Chicago is
in.
CAPTAIN MOORE
Why’s that, Captain?
CAPTAIN BECK
Chicago is a big city and
if those creatures are
multiplying as fast as they
eat then Chicago will
probably be overrun by
them. Captain, I’ve
studied on sound
frequency while I was
in the Air Force.
CAPTAIN MOORE
Well what about it?
CAPTAIN BECK
Well sir. The range of
human hearing is 20 to
20,000 hertz. A dog’s
hearing is 16 to 22,000
Hz.
CAPTAIN MOORE
So what is a hertz?
CAPTAIN BECK
Well first, the number of
vibrations that are
produced per second is
called frequency.
Frequency varies for each
sound and is measured in
hertz. One hertz is equal
to one vibration per
second. A sound with a
low frequency will have
a low pitch such as a
human heartbeat. A
sound with a high
frequency will have a high
pitch such as a dog whistle.
CAPTAIN MOORE
You really do know a lot
about sound Captain Beck.
So how do you propose we
make the sound of this dog
whistle loud enough for
those creatures to hear
outside?
CAPTAIN BECK
We can get a frequency
converter.
DETECTIVE WRIGHT
There’s some at Bob’s
Electrical Shack.
CAPTAIN BECK
Good. You have speakers
on top of cars already. All
we have to do is measure
the frequency to about
20,000 hertz by using the
converter and attaching it
to the speakers. If we
have to we can connect
the converter to an
equalizer and turn up
the volume. We won’t
hear it but those aliens
will. We can use the
creature inside of the cell
as an experiment. If that
dog whistle which probably
has a range of 16000 to
22,000Hz can knock that
creature out maybe we can
see what 75,000hz will do
to it.
CAPTAIN MOORE
Captain Beck, you may just
have saved mankind. I
would like you Pk61 and
Detective Wright to go over
to Bob’s Electrical Shack
and bring back all the
converters that you can find.
We are going to rig up
Earth’s first high tech
ultrasound alien ass kicker.
The Pk’s ran out of the station. Captain Beck looked at the monitor. The creature was just walking around in the cell making clicking sounds. Captain Beck just stared at it.
CAPTAIN BECK
We’ll make some use out
of you yet.
EXT - DOWNTOWN JEFFERSON - DAY
The peace keepers went to downtown Jefferson County
PK61
I’m glad we were able to
get that open back wagon.
DETECTIVE WRIGHT
Yea those horses came in
Handy.
PK61
We’re lucky that some of
the vehicles were still
working. I always thought
that when a nuclear bomb
goes off all electrical
power will cease.
DETECTIVE WRIGHT
I did too. I guess they
didn’t take it into account
that when a nuclear
explosion occurs under the
ocean the water would
muffle the effects of it.
PK61
What I want to know is
how could those creatures
get to the townspeople
without anyone hearing
anything?
DETECTIVE WRIGHT
There’s Bob’s Electrical
Shack.
Pk 61 guided the horses over in front of Bob’s Electrical Shack.
DETECTIVE WRIGHT
Bob had locked up his store
to go be with his family in
Texas until this all had
blown over. I don’t think
we’ll see Bob anymore.
Detective Wright broke the window. Reached his hand around the door and turned the latch. The door opened. They went in.
PK61
What do a converter look
like?
DETECTIVE WRIGHT
I’ll show you when I see it.
Look for something that
looks like a recorder and
let me know.
They both searched in different directions.
PK61
Is it this one?
Detective Wright took a look at it.
DETECTIVE WRIGHT
Nope but you are close.
PK61
How about this one?
Detective Wright took a look at it.
DETECTIVE WRIGHT
That’s the one. Grab all of
Those boxes on the bottom
Shelf and load up the
wagon.Over there are the
equalizers. Grab those too.
They both loaded up the boxes onto the wagon.
PK61
I’ll be right back.
DETECTIVE WRIGHT
Where’ re you going?
PK61
I got to take a leak.
DETECTIVE WRIGHT
Well hurry up.
Pk61 went back into the shack. He went into the back where the bathroom was located. He walked over to the urinal.
PK61
(talking to himself)
Why is it so drafty in here.
Pk61 looked around the washroom while his body was facing the urinal.
PK61
What is a hole doing inside
the washroom wall? I better
hurry up. I can’t zip up my
pants. I can’t turn my head.
What’s wrong with me?
He saw why.
PK61
(Screaming)
Oh no! stop! Stop!
Pk61 urinated on himself. The creature walked slowly towards him.
PK61
Please nooo!
Know one could here his cries because it was all in his mind.
DETECTIVE WRIGHT
What’s keeping Pk61.
Detective Wright was wiping the sweat off of his face while looking up at the sky.
DETECTIVE WRIGHT
Oh shit! My God. Help us
all.
He saw a creature flying off with Pk61.Hanging limp under it’s wings. There was no sound coming from Pk61. No fighting. He was just limp as the creature flew away with him. Detective Wright decided to hurry up and get out of there.
DETECTIVE WRIGHT
Giddy up.
The horses galloped as fast as they could.
INT - PEACE KEEPERS STATION - DAY
Captain Beck was looking at the monitor. The creature was just standing there. Every once in a while it would spread it’s wings. Then it would let it’s wings relax. It would walk around in the cell. Then it would just stop and stare at the wall. It still made those clicking and grunting sounds. The townspeople were fixated on the monitor.
ONE TOWNSPERSON
If those things ever take
over the Earth mankind will
have to go into hiding.
2ND TOWNSPERSON
Eyeball they need us for is
food.
CAPTAIN MOORE
Ok, enough of that. You’re
scaring the women and
children.
Suddenly the door burst open.
DETECTIVE WRIGHT
Ok captain. I have
everything we need. I need
some help unloading this
equipment.
CAPTAIN MOORE
Where’s Pk61?
DETECTIVE WRIGHT
He’s gone sir. A creature
carried him off.
CAPTAIN BECK
Get that equipment inside.
I’ll hook it up since I
know a lot about it. I need
a Pk to take a speaker off
of one of those vehicles
and bring it in here. I want
All of you townspeople to
stand back and give me
some room to work.
CAPTAIN MOORE
Captain Beck? You can use
the room in the back.
They all took the equipment inside of the room Captain Moore had chosen.
CAPTAIN MOORE
Detective Wright? Will
you come here?
Detective Wright walked up to where Captain Moore was at.
CAPTAIN MOORE
Look Detective Wright.
You are the only detective
in the whole county. I
didn’t want to put all of
the work on you. So for
now on we’re all going to
have to work together.
We are going to have to
disregard all rank.I don’t
have all the answers but
if we work together we
might just be able to pull
this off.
DETECTIVE WRIGHT
I just want to help. Anyway
I can. We have no
government. We really
don’t have any law
anymore. We might as
well be cavemen. Just
tell me what you want and
I’ll do it.
CAPTAIN MOORE
Thanks detective.
The door to the other room had opened.
CAPTAIN BECK
It’ s ready.
CAPTAIN MOORE
Bring it over here and you
can explain to the people
what you are about to do.
The townspeople all stopped what they were doing and turned around to look at Captain Moore.
CAPTAIN MOORE
Captain Beck here has a
plan and we all should
listen carefully to what it
is. Go ahead Captain.
CAPTAIN BECK
We have a speaker inside
of the cell where the
creature is. We can listen
to the sounds it makes.
I’m going to try a little
experiment.
Captain Beck had taken the microphone off of Captain Moore’s desk and placed it on the microphone stand. A speaker was brought over and placed on the table. The microphone was lowered in front of the speaker. The converter was placed next to the equalizer. They were both connected to each other.
CAPTAIN BECK
Now watch the monitor.
The creature was just standing there. Captain Beck turned on the converter and then the equalizer. The converter was set at 16,000 Hz. The creature was still standing there. Captain Beck turned up the volume on the equalizer. There was no sound coming from the speaker. He turned the converter up to 18000hz. The creature had lifted it’s wings and started walking around. Captain Beck turned the converter up to 19,000 Hz. The creature started flying around and bumping into the walls making loud clicking and grunting sounds. Captain Beck turned the converter up to 22,000hz. The creature let out a horrible roar and fell to the ground still. Captain Beck decided to turned the converter up to 75,000hz. The creature jerked and it’s head exploded. Green ooze was all on the walls. It’s body started shriveling up. Green ooze was coming out of
it’s fingertips. It’ s chest opened up and green ooze had poured out. The body of the alien started smoking. The alien was dead. Everyone was startled at the scene on the monitor.
SAMANTHA
What happened to the
monster momma?
RUTH
It’s dead, sweetheart.
CARL
You did it.
CAPTAIN MOORE
Captain Beck did it.
Everyone cheered for Captain Beck.
CAPTAIN MOORE
Captain Beck you have
given mankind a fighting
chance. Ok peace keepers
lets rig up those speakers.
We have an air raid siren
to warn us in case there
is a tornado coming.
Captain Beck? Do you
think that you could rig
up the siren to the
converter?
CAPTAIN BECK
I know where you’re going
with this. I can do that but
for what I have seen happen
to Pk61 we should always
stick together. These
creatures have a way of
immobilizing humans
without us knowing they’re
coming until it is too late.
We have to turn the
speakers up high once we
are outside.
PK25
The vehicles are ready.
CAPTAIN BECK
I’m going to take one of
the vehicles and leave
to rig up the siren. I’m
going to need some help
though.
PK25
I’ll go with you.
They both left.
CAPTAIN BECK
Are there any trailer homes
or motor homes that are
working?
CAPTAIN MOORE
Where are you going with
this captain?
CAPTAIN BECK
We are going to have to
give the human race a
chance. Those creatures
are everywhere. If we
could take the remaining
townsfolk and load them
up into trailer homes and
motor homes we will be in
the position to drive
through every town and
city and then collect the
remaining humans that are
alive. We could destroy
every alien within the
range of the sound as we
pass through.
CAPTAIN MOORE
That’s a big task but it’s
a worth while task.
Captain Beck left the station and Captain Moore turned towards the townspeople.
CAPTAIN MOORE
Can I have everyone’s
attention? We have a plan
that will give mankind a
chance. We all are going
to have to leave here but
first my peace keepers
are going to collect as
many trailer homes and
motor homes as possible.
This speaker inside of
this station will remain
on for safety. Captain Beck
is going over to where our
tornado siren is located
and hook up the converter
to it. He will then turn it
on. You will not hear
anything but those creatures
will. The rest of us will
turn on the converters
inside of our vehicles
which will blast the sound
through the speakers with
the help of the equalizer.
Lets hope that those motor
homes are in working order
so we can carry every towns
Folk out of here.
CRAIG
Some homes have motor
homes on the side of it.
CAPTAIN MOORE
We’ll have to take them.
I’m going to need extra
help for this job. The
women and children will
be safe here as long as
the speaker is on. We’ll
be back here to pick
everyone up. A few of my
peace keepers will stay
with them.
TOWNSMEN
We’re ready captain.
CAPTAIN MOORE
Good because if this plan
works we’ll be caravanning
across the states that are
left. Collecting humans and
motor homes and
establishing a new way of
living.
Captain Beck and Pk25 had entered the station.
CAPTAIN BECK
It’s ready and has been
turned on.
WOMAN
I don’t hear anything.
CAPTAIN BECK
You’ re not supposed to
hear anything.
Suddenly a loud sound was heard. Something had fallen in front of the peace keepers station. The peace keepers went to see what it was.
PK23
Captain? Here is the answer
to our prayers.
They all ran to the door and looked out. A creature was laying on the ground oozing green liquid and it’s body was smoking. It then shriveled up. Another one dropped right beside it. Something had hit the roof of the peace keepers station. Then another one.
WOMAN
(screaming)
Ahhh!
CAPTAIN BECK
It’s ok. This is what I had
expected.
One of the peace keepers went up to the top floor to look out over the roof. He yelled out.
PEACE KEEPER
Hey Captain. You got to see
this.
Captain Moore and the townspeople all ran to the top of the station. They all gathered to look out the window. There were creatures everywhere. Hanging from trees. Hanging out of stores and homes. They were on lawns and rooftops.
LARRY
Where did they all come
from?
PK25
It looks like they reproduce
at an alarming rate. Look
at the sky.
They all looked up. The sky was suddenly black with the creatures. They were crashing into each other. Exploding while in mid - flight and falling. Some had crashed into homes and splattered into green ooze. The streets were covered with the stuff. Then the sky was clear again. There were thousands of alien bodies shriveling up on the streets.
EXT - THE FOREST - DAY
A spaceship had left the ground and took off towards space. As it got higher it started to zig zag. Then it
fell to the ground and exploded. Where the spaceship had left sounds of yelling were heard.
CAPTAIN BECK
Get me a pair of binoculars.
PK25
I have a pair with me.
Pk25 handed the binoculars to Captain Beck. He placed them up against his face.
CAPTAIN BECK
My God!
CAPTAIN MOORE
What do you see, Captain?
CAPTAIN BECK
I can see more of the
townspeople running out of
the area where the spaceship
had left.
Captain Beck handed the binoculars over to Captain Moore. He took a look through them.
CAPTAIN MOORE
Peace keepers go meet them
and bring them here.
INT/EXT - THE STREET - DAY
The peace keepers left the station. They were stepping into the street of ooze but they ran towards the townspeople. There were hundreds of them running out of the area.
CAPTAIN BECK
Those creatures must have
been storing them for food.
The peace keepers caught up to the people.
PK25
Let us take you to the
station. We have a plan.
VOICE IN CROWD
(shouting out loud)
Thank you Lord
2ND VOICE
(shouting out loud)
Thank you Lord!
3RD VOICE
Thank you Jesus!
They were all led to the peace keepers station but all of them couldn’t fit inside. Captain Moore came outside. A peace keeper sat up a speaker and a microphone for the captain. The captain took the microphone.
CAPTAIN MOORE
Attention everyone. I’m so
glad to see that you are all
alive. This here is our hero.
The people turned around.
CAPTAIN MOORE
Captain Beck, will you come
here?
Captain Beck walked up to the microphone next to Captain Moore.
CAPTAIN MOORE
This here is the man who
have given mankind a
chance to survive. He is
responsible for your lives.
Everyone cheered.
CAPTAIN BECK
But listen up. The aliens
around here are dead. We
are using a high frequency
sound that the aliens cannot
stand.The sound kills them
but only if they can hear it.
We are going to travel with
the sound coming from the
speakers that will be on
top of the vehicles. We are
going to have to chip in on
saving mankind. What we
have to do is reach all of
the sirens in different towns
and cities. Those sounds
will carry for at least a half
a mile. We have to drive
through the town and city
streets. We have to go to
Chicago. We have to
spread the sound waves all
over to get rid of those
creatures. Are you with
me?
THE WHOLE TOWN
(cheering)
Yes
CAPTAIN BECK
As long as the siren is on
those aliens will not come
here. We have to take it to
them. Those who have
running cars raise your
hands.
Hands were raised.
CAPTAIN BECK
Good. Almost half of you
have transportation. We
are going to have to carry
some passengers. You
cannot stay in your homes
anymore. If the sirens go
out you will not be able to
tell and those creatures
might come back. We
have to rid the Earth of
every one of them. Are
you with me?
TOWNSPEOPLE
(cheering)
Yes
CAPTAIN BECK
Lets go then. I want
everyone to meet back here
within the hour and keep
those speakers on.
Remember we can’t hear
the sound but those aliens
can. They will drop like
flies as soon as they hear
us coming only this time
the shoe is on the other
foot.By the time they hear
us it will be too late for
them.So lets go.
EXT - IN FRONT OF THE PEACE KEEPERS STATION - DAY
An hour later over five hundred trailer homes, motor homes, vans, jeeps and cars had
shown up at the peace keepers station. Captain Moore got on the microphone.
CAPTAIN MOORE
We are looking good. We
even look like we’re on a
mission today.Ok,women
and children can get inside
of the trailers and motor
homes.
All of the women and children had climbed aboard.
CAPTAIN MOORE
Now every man who do not
have a ride come aboard.
Soon all of the towns folk was on board. There were speakers on the front vehicles. Captain Beck was in the front of the caravan with Captain Moore right beside him. He gets on the microphone.
CAPTAIN BECK
We’re going to drive
through the town of
Jefferson in case there are
stragglers. I’ll talk through
the speakers and try to get
them to come outside.
Then we will head for
Chicago and anywhere
else that have not been
touched by the boiling
water. Lets move out.
The caravan had turned down the street. They went through different neighborhoods. A roar was heard and an alien came out of a house. Then it fell to the ground . The owner of the house came outside to witness what was happening.
THE OWNER
What is that?
CAPTAIN BECK
That is what almost made
you it’s dinner.
CAPTAIN MOORE
We’re going to Chicago as
soon as we kill off every
alien in Jefferson County.
CAPTAIN BECK
We’re clearing out the
town.
CAPTAIN MOORE
I suggest you come along.
There will be no one left
here after we leave. You
don’t need to pack
anything. Everything will
be provided for you here.
We will explain everything
to you once you are aboard.
The man decided to come aboard. Captain Beck continued to speak on the microphone.
CAPTAIN BECK
Attention townspeople. The
alien creatures are loose
and is roaming the town
killing and kidnapping our
citizens. I urge you to come
out and leave with us. We
have a plan to survive.
You must come with us for
your protection. This is
Captain Beck of the United
States Air Force. Leave
your homes and join us for
the survival of mankind.
Everything will be provided
for you. Leave now. You
are no longer protected by
the peace keepers if you
stay. Grab your kids and
come with us. We have a
plan.
Some people came out of their homes with their kids. Creatures crashed through their windows and doors. The people screamed in shock. The creatures were hiding in their homes ready to strike. When the creatures crashed through their doors and windows they fell to the ground. Their heads exploded and their bodies shriveled up with green ooze coming from them. The people ran into the motor homes scared. More roars and growlings were heard throughout the streets as the people ran out of their homes to join the caravan. More creatures crashed through walls and windows. Then exploded onto the streets. More motor homes were collected and added to the caravan. More people joined.
More creatures had filled the streets with green ooze. The caravan coasted through the ooze. Still more motor homes and trailer homes were added to the caravan.
EXT - 194 EXPRESSWAY- DAY
After six hours had gone by all of the neighborhoods were covered. Creatures who were within the range of the sound had died. The caravan had left the town and left for the expressway. They entered I94 east and headed for Chicago. There were no other vehicles on the expressway. The peace keepers made sure they had enough gas. They were able to find three completely fill gas trucks that was in running condition. There were at least fifteen hundred motor homes and trailers that were added to the caravan.
CAPTAIN MOORE
Captain Beck. Pull off at
I64. I want to take this
caravan through Waukesha
and Pewaukee. We can
collect more motor homes
and save more people there.
EXT - WAUKESHA,WISCONSIN - DAY
They pulled off of the expressway and on to I64 that took them through downtown Waukesha. More creatures had crashed through doors and windows. Some had even crashed through the roofs of some homes. The high pitched ultrasonic waves must have driven them crazy. They landed in the streets. Some creatures tried to fly away but by the time they heard the sound it was too late. Once they take to the sky they get disoriented and come crashing down on top of houses and onto the streets. Their bodies
crack open with ooze and their heads exploded.
EXT- I94 EXPRESSWAY - DAY
The caravan had collected the people and more motorhomes.They all headed for Chicago. Once back on the expressway everything was back to normal. The people looked out of the windows.
CARL
Look at the sky!
They all looked. The Argolians were crashing in to one another and falling to the ground. The Argolians heard the sound in mid flight and fell onto the expressway. The caravan was running over the creatures. More and more creatures exploded on the expressway. The caravan kept moving forward heading for Chicago. There were over two motor homes on the road. Blasting the air with high frequency sound waves. With the converter and the equalizer turned up the sound wave had a distance of two thousand feet because the creatures were falling out of the sky. The caravan was spotted by more Argolians. When
the Argolians flew towards the caravan they dropped to the ground and exploded. The sight of the caravan is what’s attracting the Argolians but when they came within two thousand feet it was too late to do anything about it. The caravan kept moving towards Chicago.
EXT - SKIES FILLED WITH THE ARGOLIANS - DAY
The Argolians had no more reasons to hide from their prey. Some of them did not hear the instructions from their leaders. They were too busy out hunting so they were out of touch. The Argolians circled the sky. Looking for prey walking around. They spotted something moving. A long line of machines.
1ST ARGOLIAN
click,click,click. More
food.
2ND ARGOLIAN
grunt,click,grunt. Plenty
of food.
They all turned towards the caravan. There were at least twenty Argolians. They flew towards the caravan.
ARGOLIANS
(growling)
Click,click,click, arggg!
They growled. They crashed into each other. They went crazy. Some of the Argolians heads exploded in the air. Some had just fell and exploded when they hit the ground. More Argolians had seen what had just happened and was curious so they all came too close to investigate. That was the end of them. The Argolians who were higher up in the sky had figured it out.
1ST ARGOLIAN
Click,click,click. There’s
something about those
machines down there that
is killing us.
2ND ARGOLIAN
Grunt, grunt. Lets not take
any chances. We’ll hide and
wait.
1ST ARGOLIAN
Grunt,click,grunt. We better
spread the word that this
species have a secret
weapon that can kill us.
2ND ARGOLIAN
Grunt, grunt, grunt. Our
elders had abandoned us on
this planet. We’re on our
own.
Suddenly the sky was clear. The caravan have been stopping at each small town that was on the same path facing the direction of Chicago picking up more people and adding more motor homes and trailer homes. The count was now thirty five hundred.
CAPTAIN MOORE
I can see the Sears Tower
from here.
CAPTAIN BECK
Good. I don’t know what
we’ll find there but we
better be ready. Lets press
on.
The caravan kept cruising in the direction of Chicago. They were now twenty miles away.
CAPTAIN MOORE
What do you think we’ll
find, captain?
CAPTAIN BECK
Hell is what we’ll find.
But we have the element of
surprise for those aliens.
Captain Beck had placed the binoculars on his face.
CAPTAIN BECK
I can see the creatures from
here flying all over the
place as though they own it.
I’m going to drive right
onto the Chicago Loop. I
want to make sure that they
see us coming.
Suddenly the sky was black with the Argolians. There were so many of them in the sky that they had blotted out the sun. They all looked in the direction of the Caravan. A long train consisting of 3500 vehicles. The Argolian’s mouths started watering. They all flew toward the caravan making loud clicking and grunting sounds.
EXT - I94 EXPRESSWAY - DAY
CAPTAIN BECK
Here they come. Stop here.
The black cloud of Argolians was getting closer.
CAPTAIN MOORE
Captain Beck, I hope this
idea of yours work out
here too.
CAPTAIN BECK
It will. Watch what happens.
SAMANTHA
Momma look!
Ruth, and Carl looked out of the window.
CARL
Great God almighty. Look
at them!
RUTH
There must be thousands of
them.
Detective Wright was in another motor home discussing the situation with some of the townspeople.
GARY
Do you think we can kill
them all?
DETECTIVE WRIGHT
Well we sure have the
Equipment but they have
the numbers.
CAPTAIN BECK
Ok,they’re getting closer.
Be ready for anything.
EXT - THE BLACK CLOUD - DAY
The black cloud was now close enough for them to make out what it was. It was getting closer. The rest of the people in the motor homes were frightened at the sight of all those creatures coming at them. The sky itself was now black with aliens.
EXT - CHICAGO - DAY
Suddenly the Argolians were flying into each other. Ooze was dropping on top of the caravan. Then a thump and another thump. Then several thumps. The bodies of thousands of alien creatures were falling from the sky and dripping green ooze all down the side of the motor homes. The bodies of the creatures were falling onto the streets. Green ooze was everywhere. More Argolians had joined in. They didn’t know the danger they were in because the sky was full of their kind. They were dropping out of the sky like rain. The expressways were filling up with green slime. An hour had gone by. The last of the Argolians had fallen from the sky and shriveled up on the expressway .
EXT - JACKSON STREET - DAY
The caravan started up and came off of the expressway on Jackson Street. A caravan of 3500 vehicles. Captain Beck turned on the loud speaker.
CAPTAIN BECK
I need every one of you to
blow your horns. That will
attract more of them and it
will let them know that we
are coming.
They all blew their horns as they passed through the heart of downtown Chicago. Argolians crashed through the windows and fell to the ground bursting with ooze. The people started running out of the buildings. They were waved toward the caravan. A group of people were held inside of a building in a frozen state. An Argolian had crept up in front of them.
A MAN
(screaming in his mind)
Nooo!, stooop!
The Argolian took the man’s hand and started to place it into it’s mouth when suddenly the Argolian grabbed it’s own head. It flew around the room holding it. Then it’s head exploded and it fell to the floor with ooze coming out of it’s chest. The people became unfrozen.
CLARA
Did you see what just
happened?
BONNIE
I saw it and I still don’t
believe it.
Jerod looked out of the window.
JEROD
Hey guys look! Motor
Homes.Thousands of them.
Lets go.
They all ran down the stairs and out the door.
CAPTAIN BECK
Come on. Get inside. We’re
saving mankind from
extinction.
The doors of the building opened up and the people came running out. Argolians were crashing through the doors and windows and dying on the spot. More people were coming when they heard the voice on the speakers.
CAPTAIN BECK
Well Captain Moore. We did
it.
CAPTAIN MOORE
No. You did it. You found
their weakness.
CAPTAIN BECK
No. The real hero is my
niece Samantha and her
little puppy, Putt Putt. If it
wasn’t for her whistle I
wouldn’t have been able
to do all of this. You know
something? Some of the
things we take for granted
can be the very thing we
need to save humanity. I
only hope that mankind
on the other side of the
globe can do the same. We
can never let our guards
down. We have to start
living a different way of
life because those aliens
now know that we have a
means to destroy them.
We’ll never know if we
have won. I’m sure as
highly advanced those
creatures are they will
spread the word that it
will not be that easy to
become the dominant
species.
THE COMMENTATOR
3500 motor homes roll
through the streets picking
up people. Increasing
mankind’s chances of
survival. Adding trailer
homes, and motor homes.
Creating a new city. A new
frontier. The Argolians
watches as the caravan rolls
on. The Argolians wait for
the right time to eat. The
Argolians know that they
are the dominant species.
Mankind knows that they
are the dominant species.
Only time will tell.
The End
