EXT. FADE IN: —  
				
EXT. ALIEN ENVIRONMENT, A CLEARING. DAY. 
				
CLOSE ON THE group in general, some objects are seen on the floor. CLOSE ON each one. Some are talking among themselves, most are just quiet, very quiet, no clear words or clear sound. 
				
EXT. EXT. ALIEN ENVIRONMENT. TREES, HILLS AND HORIZON. —  
				
Strange beings are seeing moving, most of the time in groups, in different places, but similar to the clearing. 
				
EXT. EXT. ALIEN ENVIRONMENT. CLEARING. —  
				
The group do not have anything in common directly, they don't know each other and they don't know why they are here. Their position is shown clockwise: 
				
Richard..main character, memory lost, white middle-aged man. 
				
David....Sudanese, black quiet man, doctor, he doesn't talk about his family but he has one. 
				
Thomas...American white man in his fifties, he has family (wife, two married children and grand-children). 
				
Mary.....white English woman, royal manners, around 60 years-old, works with gardens in big mansions in England. 
				
Suzanne..French white woman, age not clear, nothing is clear about family, job. 
				
Miguel...Chilean young white latino-type man, who works with IT. 
				
Gudrum...German blond, very sensitive, age is not clear. 
				
Amélia...Brazilian young woman, very beautiful and attractive, brown. 
				
Desirèe..Caribbean black woman, nothing is clear about her place, but she has family. 
				
Chen.....Chinese woman from Shanghai, she has a daughter. 
				
Sándor...Hungarian white small man, in his forties, he does not speak English well. 
				
Yuri.....Ukranian white middle height man, in his forties, he does not speak English well. 
				
RICHARD is shown again, still asleep. 
										
EXT. EXT. ALIEN ENVIRONMENT. A CHAIN OF HILLS. —  
				
In the horizon, a very shining object is seen, alone, as if some power was present. 
				
EXT. EXT. DIFFERENT SET, MACHINES ONLY. DARK. —  
				
A panel is shown. Strange hands touch the panel, they look like they are gloves without fingers. The panel gets light in a few places. No sound. 
				
EXT. EXT. ALIEN ENVIRONMENT. CLEARING. —  
				
FROM THE EYES, the camera changes its source, now the images come from Richard's eyes, who see everything and everyone blurred. Then he focus in Gudrum, in front of him, but everything fades away and turns black. 
				
CUT 
				
EXT. FADE IN. EXT. ALIEN ENVIRONMENT. DAY. A CLEARING. LOTS OF NOISE, MAINLY VOICES. —  
				
RICHARD is awakened, but clearly very weak, pale in comparison to others. 
				
RICHARD startles, reacting to the QUANTITY OF VOICES, shouting and screaming. 
				
RICHARD turns his head to see the source of noise better. There are two women fighting, a black big woman and a slim Chinese one, Desiree and Chen. 
				
CHEN
Desiree, I've told you, I DID NOT DO IT! 
				
DESIRÃ¨E
I SAW YOU, BITCH, LOOKING AT IT! YOU TOOK IT! 
				
CHEN
For God's sake, you... 
				
CHEN pauses and looks at a very weak RICHARD, who puts himself between the two women, stopping the fight. Then, RICHARD faints. 
				
EXT. EXT. CLEARING. DAY. —  
				
IMAGES AND NOISES COME TO RICHARD. It is possible to hear the voices and accents. He can hear Gudrum's German accent, but the words are not clear. 
				
A HAND touches Richard's shoulder. Chen speaks to him, but he cannot understand, he only sees HER MOUTH. That irritates her for some reason. 
				
CUT TO GENERAL. CHEN trying to talk over some other people to Richard. Then, a BLACK HAND goes to Richard's shoulder, touching him. Richard turns in that direction. 
				
DAVID forces some gelatinous transparent thing into his mouth, and some kind of food. RICHARD tries to avoid, but YURI helps to prevent that. 
				
After that, RICHARD closes his eyes again. 
				
FADE AWAY 
				
EXT. EXT. ALIEN ENVIRONMENT. A CLEARING. DAY. —  
				
The voices are clear now, the only sounds in the clearing, no animals or insects. 
				
RICHARD is fully awaken. CAMERA TURNS AROUND THE GROUP SLOWLY. Some are standing, others are sitting; from those, some are talking among themselves, others are in silence. 
				
CHEN is sitting, she is talking to DAVID AND THOMAS. When she sees Richard awakes, she gets up and reaches for him. RICHARD initially does not acknowledge her presence. His eyes are fixed in what looks like fruit and gelatin. CHEN looks at DAVID, who also gets up and goes for the food. HE TAKES IT TO RICHARD and feeds him again. 
				
After Richard having eaten, CHEN starts to speak. 
				
CHEN
Who are you? 
				
RICHARD shows he is upset with her question. He tries to speak, but no sound comes out. CHEN is about to say something again, but DAVID makes a gesture for her to leave him alone. She does, very annoyed although her eyes are sparkling. She MOVES TO HER RIGHT slightly. After a while, RICHARD looks at Chen's eyes and asks: 
				
RICHARD
What... was all that... about? 
				
CHEN
(snorting and laughing a little)
 Desirèe claims she had a little doll with her. 
(she looks at Desirèe, who is with Amélia, talking and pointing at her)
. She thinks I took it, but I am sure none of us has anything, we just have our clothes, which are not even ours. 
				
RICHARD looks around and sees that effectively, everyone is dressed the same way, a blue shirt with some dark blue pants, men and women all alike. And yes, he notices he does not have a watch, something he is sure he had. 
				
RICHARD looks back at Chen again. 
				
RICHARD
Where am I? Who are you people? 
				
CHEN snorts again and roll her eyes, speaking something very rude. But DAVID gets closer to Richard. He is gentle and his voice is softly, in a very good British-accented English: 
				
DAVID
We don't know where we are, but we know whom we are. If you tell us your name, where you come from, that will be helpful. 
(after a pause)
 Please. 
				
RICHARD closes his eyes, he focuses them in Chen and David and responds very weakly with the best smile he could do for that moment. 
				
RICHARD
I... I don't know who I am. I don't know. 
				
DAVID responds with another smile, very gentle and encouraging, nodding, but CHEN obviously did not like his response. THOMAS gets closer to Richard while DAVID starts to examine his head and general body, looking for some harm, without words. 
				
THOMAS
He seems fine for me. But, I guess nobody from us is fine really. Anyway, you are the doctor, David, is he alright?
(David nods to him)

CAMERA SHOWS everyone looking at Richard. He gets very self-conscious with that, trying to arrange his strange clothes and hair. 
				
CAMERA SHOWS the clearing in general, and Richard starts to look at the objects in the centre, at which point CHEN, DAVID AND THOMAS leave him alone. RICHARD tries to stand, but he almost falls. David comes back and he holds him. Slowly, they get up and go to the centre, where RICHARD takes one fruit. He smells it and bites it. But the other objects are too strange for him to acknowledge. 
				
AMÃ©LIA
Gostosas, né? 
				
RICHARD looks at the brown woman. RICHARD assents with his head and others look at them puzzled. He understood what she said, he understands Portuguese ("Nice, isn't it?"). THOMAS gets hold of his arm and takes him to a place. 
				
THOMAS
I will show you our luxury bathroom... 
				
SOME OF THE WOMEN laughs at what Thomas says (except Chen). THOMAS TAKES RICHARD to a place, near a kind of a river, at least looks like a river but the water is like gelatin, and he points to a small area. RICHARD goes and washes himself in the river. He sits around the river and release his body waste, washing his body again and again. 
				
After being cleansed, RICHARD stays a while looking at the very weird skyline and laughs (thinking of it as a B-movie studio in Hollywood). 
				
CUT. 
					
EXT. CLEARING, BATHROOM. ALIEN DAWN. 
																	
RICHARD looks from the bathroom to the alien dawn. He feels tired and shows so with his face. 
												
AMÉLIA comes and coughs, indicating she wants to use the bathroom too. 
				
RICHARD blushes slightly, he gest up and leave, but looks back to AMÉLIA, whilst going back to the main part of the clearing. 
				
He sees PEOPLE MOVING AROUND, just like it is all normal. But his eyes get moist, as he realises everyone there is as lost as he is. 
				
RICHARD puts his hands on his eyes and look to the other side of the dawn, to the darkness where they now live. The misterious place with its moons and 27 hours-day. 
				
INT. JUST A PANEL. DARK. 
				
Strange fingers touch a panel for a few seconds. 
				
FADING AWAY 
				
EXT. EXT. CLEARING. DAY. —  
				
A few noises are heard, mainly voices. PEOPLE are scattered around the clearing in small groups, but RICHARD is by himself. RICHARD aimlessly goes towards the center of the clearing, to one of the groups composed by Desirèe, Amélia and Miguel. He is however intercepted by CHEN who blocks his walk by putting a hand in his arm. Beside, THOMAS AND DAVID who were talking, stop doing that, RICHARD looks at both of them. 
				
CHEN
I really need to talk to you. 
				
RICHARD
(looking at her upset)
 Then, talk. 
				
CHEN
(she does a short pause, like breathing deeply, and speak in a soft voice)
 Listen, I am sorry, OK? I didn't mean to be rude before. It is just that... 
				
RICHARD puts his hand on hers, which makes both blush a bit, and he speaks in a similar tone of voice. 
				
RICHARD
I think I am just starting to understand we are in a very odd position here, but, please, believe me, I don't know anything, not even my name. 
				
CHEN smiles and frees her hand from his and his arm. 
				
CHEN
I am also sorry for that. 
(she crosses her arms)
 It seems nobody here knows anything. Nothing at all. 
				
RICHARD AND CHEN start to walk towards the center of the circle. DAVID AND THOMAS, after feeling all was OK resumed their talk. A group with the rest of the women are near the bathroom place. 
				
CHEN (CONT'D)
So, you don't know who you are? I guess it is worse than all of us, but I am not so sure. 
				
RICHARD
Why do you say that? 
				
CHEN
Well, some of us have families and... 
				
CHEN stops saying and looks down. Richard does not pressure. After a while, they are over the small group - they are laughing touching strange objects on the floor. 
				
CHEN (CONT'D)
By talking, we found out we all had something in common with each other: we were all flying. 
(Chen looks at him)
 Do you remember that at least? 
				
RICHARD looks like making lots of effort to concentrate. SHOTS OF INSIDE A PLANE shown, behind him. RICHARD SEES himself in a seat, in a plane. A flight attendant. 
				
RICHARD
I am not so sure. Yes,I can remember bits here and there, things, noises, voices, languages, and, yes, I remember travelling, but I can't say it was just before... showing up here. 
				
DAVID AND THOMAS also get close to the center of the clearing. Some women get closer too. 
				
RICHARD (CONT'D)
So, nobody has any idea where we are? 
				
AMÃ©LIA
No País das Maravilhas! 
(Wonderland!)

Only RICHARD laughs a bit. Then, David, with his deep voice, says something amusing which makes everyone laughs. 
				
DAVID
I think this is a Hollywood studio! For some B-movie! 
				
MARY
And at any moment, a green monster will come to devour us all! 
				
LAUGHTERS. CAMERA SHOWS EVERYONE FROM UP ABOVE. 
				
EXT. FADE AWAY —  
				
EXT. EXT. CLEARING. LUNCH TIME. —  
				
Everybody is eating, having lunch. They are all sitting in a circle. AERIAL VIEW of everyone. 
				
DESIREE seems to have told a joke. A group of people - MIGUEL, DESIREE HERSELF and AMÉLIA - laught at it very strongly. Even CHEN can't resist and smile. CUT TO GUDRUM. 
				
GUDRUM
How many hours then? 
(GUDRUM is very serious, and she looks at CHEN, who stops smiling)

CHEN
The day has about 27 hours. 
(those who are hearing that sigh or ramble about)
 I have some experience in controlling time in odd circumstances, so if you are happy, I can keep track... 
				
MARY
Thank you very much, Chen. How many days have we been here? 
				
The laughter stops at once. All eyes are on CHEN. Some are still eating. RICHARD is sitting by her side. 
				
CHEN
According to my calculations, we have been here about 8 days - 27 hours-days. which is about 9 of our ear... our normal 24 hours-days. 
				
PEOPLE'S FACES show their discomfort. A complete silence falls over the group. 
				
CHEN breaks the silence, looking at Richard and talking to him in a loud voice: 
				
CHEN (CONT'D)
What do you think, Richard? 
				
Initially, Richard does not respond. But then, he realises she is talking to him. 
				
SUZANNE
I didn't know your name was Richard. I thought you didn't remember it. 
(thick French accent)

RICHARD
And I still don't remember my name. 
				
CHEN
But you look like Richard. 
				
MIGUEL
She is right about that. 
				
EVERYONE laughs at the comment, even RICHARD AND CHEN. 
				
CHEN
So, what do you think... RICHARD? 
				
RICHARD
Well, I guess any name is fine. 
(thinking a bit)
 We have been talking, some of us, that whoever caught us... 
				
MARY
Whoever has KIDNAPPED us, you mean. 
				
RICHARD
Yes, thank you Mary. This is a kidnapping. 
(he puts his food on the floor)
 Anyway, we have to survive, and we have done well. Pretty well. But, these objects on the floor, there has to be some meaning to them. 
(he looks at Miguel and he blushes a bit)
 Miguel, ¿podrías mirar qué son? 
				
For an instant, he does not realise he spoke in Spanish. After a while, MIGUEL responds to him. 
				
MIGUEL
Sí, yes, I think Amélia, Desirèe and me, we can take a look at this. I have an idea of what these objects are and if anyone wants to join, you are free to that. 
				
YURI AND SANDÓR talk among themselves, partly translating what was going on there. 
				
DAVID
I think that is good, but if I may suggest we all take a very good nap 
(little laughters)
, that will improve our capacity to understand what is going on here. 
				
CAMERA shows all of them moving around, some going to the bathroom, others just laying down at the same spot. 
				
FADE AWAY 
				
EXT. EXT. THE CLEARING. NIGHT. —  
				
THE NIGHT IS VERY DARK, no sounds of animals. TWO MOONS are in the sky, plues A PIECE OF A SATTELITE. RICHARD COMES CLOSE TO CHEN, DAVID AND THOMAS. The weather never changes and is always pleasant, there is a fire in the middle of the clearing - produced by YURI AND SÁNDOR. RICHARD goes and helps them with more wood. 
				
THOMAS
Richard, how are you? Nothing yet? 
				
RICHARD
Nothing at all. I really don't remember anything. But I am getting used to it. 
				
DAVID
(pointing at Miguel and his group)
 What is the "Carnival group" doing? 
				
THEY LAUGH. 
				
RICHARD
Well, it seems this Miguel is very good with weapons so... 
				
CHEN
Sorry, you said weapons? 
				
RICHARD
Yes... sorry, I did not mention before... I... well, I always thought they were weapons, so Miguel and the two ladies there, they are starting to see how it works. 
				
CHEN
How could I miss it? 
(she almost whispers that while looking at the group and thinking of her own past)

RICHARD looks at Chen with some interest, specially at her muscles. 
				
RICHARD
Well, always a first, right? 
				
CHEN looks at him like she could kick his ass. 
				
THOMAS
Well, I guess it is time for all of us to sleep. David, would you do the honour to calm the... "CARNIVAL group"? 
				
Laughing, DAVID heads towards the group. DESIREE is the soul of the group, talking very noisily. PEOPLE START TO GO TO SLEEP. CHEN AND RICHARD are by themselves. Both smile very weakly and go to sleep in different parts. 
				
EXT. FADE AWAY —  
				
EXT. EXT. THE CLEARING. DAY. —  
				
THE GROUP IS sitting in a tight circle. CHEN has something on her lap, a kind of wood she uses to write. 
				
CHEN
Well, people, it seems we crossed another day and we don't have a clue about what is going on. So, the idea now is to formalise some of what we are doing. Well, we are not many and I think we have to do a bit of everything, but someone has to be in charge, just in case. This is just a formalisation, as it is already happening. 
(she looks at everyone, waiting a bit if anyone has anything to say, and continues)
 First, there is the food-water team, Suzanne and Gudrum, they are doing an excellent job. 
				
PEOPLE CLAP and SUZANNE AND GUDRUM thank in a mocking way. 
				
CHEN (CONT'D)
Talking with Yuri and Sandoval... 
				
RICHARD
Sándor! 
				
CHEN
Sándor, sorry, they have good experience in construction. If you see there, they have started some shelter. 
(everyone looks at a point on the edge of the clearing)
 Even thought it seems there are no animals, insects, rain or anything we are used to bother us, we have to consider this... well, this... 
				
MARY
Planet? 
				
CHEN AND EVERYONE get in silence a bit. Admitting that aloud will be the first time ever. 
				
CHEN
Planet... 
(Chen's voice is almost quiet, diminished, she recovers the posture and keep on talking)
 Yes, we have to consider there are seasons in this planet, so they can make shelters and other things we need. 
				
PEOPLE CLAP, a little weaker this time, YURI AND SÁNDOR don't thank, they keep on talking to each other, trying to understand what was said. 
				
CHEN (CONT'D)
Amélia, Desirèe 
(she looks at her to check if the pronunciation was OK and she is met with a nice smile)
 and Miguel are taking care of the weapons. This evening, we will have our first demonstration. 
				
GUDRUM
We have been hearing the noises around. 
				
MIGUEL
Yes, but this time it will be serious, and I think all of us should be present. 
				
MARY
I don't like weapons. 
				
CHEN
But, you can be present, can't you? It is important. Again, I know, no dangers around, but then, why leaving weapons if they are not to be used? 
				
PEOPLE murmur around, AGREEING. 
				
CHEN (CONT'D)
David is in charge of our health, as he is a doctor. 
(more clapping)
 Richard, Thomas and I will be around helping what we can. 
				
AMÃ©LIA
Bossing around? 
				
LAUGHTERS. 
				
DAVID
You forgot to say, Chen, that the "Carnival group" 
(big laughter!)
 is in charge of making some comedy for us. You know, to increase the morale. 
				
EVERYONE LAUGHS AND IS happy. They don't realise SOMETHING is watching them nearby. 
				
INT. BUTTONS. MACHINES. AN ALIEN FINGER. 
				
CHEN
Last thing to remind you. As all of us agreed, tonight we start to have shifts, with the weapons. Just in case. 
				
EVERYONE IS with a mixture of excitement and fear in their faces. 
				
FADE OUT. 
				
EXT. EXT. CLEARING. NIGHT. —  
				
A BONFIRE iluminates the clearing. EVERYONE is one area, which is normally used for sleeping. CLOSE ON THE weapons. 
				
MIGUEL, AMÉLIA AND DESIREE are all together, holding the objects and playing with them. RICHARD is close to Miguel, talking to him in fast Spanish. CHEN is beside Amélia, looking quite close at the weapons. EVERYONE is talking with each other, there are lots of noise. 
				
AMÃ©LIA
Have seen these before? Have used? 
				
Chen does not respond, she just moves aside a bit. MIGUEL asks for attention and everyone gets quiet. 
				
MIGUEL
Well, just to clarify, I am no military. My father used to be a commander in Chile, but I am just an IT guy. So, all IT guys, we love war games... 
				
LAUGHTERS. CHEN looks very serious, RICHARD looks at her, with a half smile. 
				
MIGUEL (CONT'D)
Ricardo 
(Richard)
 was the one who told me they could be weapons. And, really, they look like that when you think of them as weapons. Now, we did not have much time... 
				
CHEN
With a 27-hours day, how can you say you did not have time? 
				
DAVID
Carnival... 
				
MORE LAUGHTERS. 
				
MIGUEL
Look, jefa 
(boss)
, they look simple, but they aren't. We had to try many times, and we had to be careful with everyone here. And, you know, we need to research more, but I think that... 
				
MIGUEL takes one of the objects. It looks like a rifle, but without trigger. He points at some rocks there and a whoosh of fire comes out of it, burning the rock to ashes. AN UNEASE SILENCE comes over the group. CHEN steps forward. 
				
CHEN
How did you do that? 
(Chen tries to take the weapon out, but she removes her hands as she does not know where to hold them)

MIGUEL
That was the funny part. There is no trigger, nothing where to push or pull, anything. Then, I said to myself, well, if these are fucking aliens, they should be quite advanced. They took us here, right? So, I just sat, I pointed and I said to myself BOOM! 
				
CHEN
Boom? 
				
MIGUEL
Well, that helped me. 
				
AMÃ©LIA
I said FOGO! 
(Fire!)

RICHARD
(before Chen can say anything)
 Miguel, ¿puedo probar? May I try? 
				
MIGUEL passes the weapon to RICHARD, who does the same as Miguel did, saying "FIRE". Again, a whoosh of fire comes out of it, burning the rocks completely to ashes. 
				
CHEN hits her own forehead and smiles broadly. Others don't look very happy. 
				
MIGUEL
Now, I will show you this one 
(he takes another one as the former weapon is in Richard's hands)

CAMERA GOES AWAY FROM THE GROUP. V.O. MIGUEL. SOMETHING IS LURKING IN THE DARKNESS. 
				
FADE AWAY 
				
EXT. EXT. NIGHT. BONFIRE IS IN THE FOREGROUND. —  
				
RICHARD wakes and looks at his watch, with marks done by Chen so that he could understand the relation between Earth time and this planet. HE SWEARS as he is late for his shift. Very quickly, he TAKES HIS WEAPON and then he remembers someone had to wake him. The person before him in shift. 
				
RICHARD
Mary? 
				
RICHARD gets up and starts to look around, but no sign of Mary. He goes and awakes THOMAS. 
				
RICHARD (CONT'D)
Thomas, Thomas... 
(Thomas opens his eyes)
 Mary did not call me, she was supposed to call me about 3 hours ago. 
				
THOMAS
Where is she? 
				
RICHARD
I don't know, I can't find her. Can you help me? 
				
THOMAS gets up and takes his two weapons. BOTH of them go to look around. After a few minutes of looking, their faces are very apprehensive. A SCREAM cuts the otherwise extremely quiet night. 
				
RICHARD AND THOMAS run towards the scream. CHEN, DAVID and all others start to get up, asking what happened, and running towards the same place. 
				
It was ON THE WAY TO BATHROOM. GUDRUM was screaming and screaming, with her hands over her face. 
				
THOMAS reachs for Gudrum, who fights with him, speaking in fast German. RICHARD stares at the point Gudrum was avoiding to look at. 
				
RICHARD (CONT'D)
Thomas... 
				
THOMAS looks at the same spot. MARY'S HEAD is disposed on a rock, with no body to be seen. 
				
Then, RICHARD's eyes start to swipe around: pieces of flash and members are everywhere. 
				
At this time, another scream by AMÉLIA. DAVID AND CHEN see the same, and try to prevent others to come to the macabre scene. 
				
THOMAS takes GUDRUM away, whilst MIGUEL takes AMÉLIA along with them, towards the bonfire. CHEN comes close to RICHARD, her eyes glued to MARY's head. CHEN holds his arm and he, without thinking, puts his arm around her. 
				
THOMAS comes back to them. DAVID is consoling OTHERS. There is tragedy in the air. DAVID takes others to the bonfire. 
				
Struggling to find his own voice, THOMAS speaks to the other two. 
				
THOMAS
We... we have to... dispose Mary... dispose her body... 
				
Their eyes are moist, but CHEN AND RICHARD assent and start to do it. Shaking and almost falling, they start to collect the pieces of the body and put them all together. 
				
MIGUEL shows up with the weapon of fire. There is horror in CHEN's eyes, but she nods with her head. After the whole body is together, MIGUEL is about to fire, when DAVID comes. 
				
DAVID
NO! This does not look right. 
				
MIGUEL stops, whilst DAVID rushes back, signalling them to wait for him. DAVID brings back something they did with the plants, a kind of sheet, and cover the whole thing, what used to be Mary's body. ALL OTHERS come back with him, even AMÉLIA, but Gudrum and Suzanne (who is consoling her) stay back. 
				
With ceremony, DAVID takes THOMAS AND RICHARD's hands, and they get OTHERS' hands, forming a tight circle around MARY's body. DAVID speaks in his own language, like a chant. 
				
Emotions flow deeply and everyone cries, even DAVID. After that, he looks at MIGUEL, who is wiping his eyes. Everyone backs off and, without a word, MIGUEL transforms the body into ashes in less than a minute. 
					
RICHARD disentangles himself from CHEN and just sits in the same spot. CHEN does the same and everyone sits closer and tight, around MARY's ashes. After a while, SUZANNE brings GUDRUM and they also sit together. 
				
CHEN without speaking counts everyone. Without saying aloud, her lips forms the word ELEVEN. 
				
FADE AWAY. 
				
EXT. EXT. CLEARING. DAWN. —  
				
EVERYONE is awaken, but GUDRUM AND AMÉLIA, probably to avoid facing the reality. 
				
MIGUEL comes close to RICHARD AND CHEN, who has HER HEAD in his shoulder, even though her eyes are open. MIGUEL notices the weapons, firmly in THEIR HANDS. 
				
MIGUEL
I must talk to you, guys. But I don't want many people to hear it. 
				
RICHARD AND CHEN look at him. She sits straight, and THOMAS also comes close to them. DAVID looks over to them, but he does not approach them. 
				
Without being seen, OTHERS also get close to hearing distance. 
				
MIGUEL (CONT'D)
I have to research more, but I am sure... I am sure that a weapon could have done to Mary... 
				
He did not finish. DESIREE shouts from her place. All the four of them jumps when they hear her voice. 
				
DESIRÃ¨E
WHAT???? ONE OF US DID THAT... THAT MONSTRUOSITY!!! 
				
DESIREE looks at everyone, as if she was seeing them all guilty. An argument erupts between HER AND SUZANNE. Everyone tries to speak at the same time. AMÉLIA is now fully awaken and speaks with MIGUEL in a mixture of Portuguese and Spanish. It is total chaos. CHEN AND RICHARD are totally quiet, THOMAS' words are lost in the noise. 
				
DAVID
SHUT UP! 
				
The effect was like a bomb. Everyone got silent. DAVID is standing in his full height (he is the tallest among them). 
				
DAVID (CONT'D)
Respect the dead. 
(his voice is soft, almost mute, but everyone listens and feels the same)
. 
				
ONE BY ONE, all get up and go back to their own duties. GUDRUM is the only one to stay in the same spot, awaden. At some point, when everyone has left, GUDRUM looks at the point where Mary's head was and very quickly, as if she was seeing a ghost, she STANDS, FALLS, STUMBLES AND FINALLY GOES AWAY. 
				
FOCUS ON MARY'S ASHES AND THE EMPTY CLEARING SPACE. 
				
FADE OUT. 
				
EXT. EXT. CLEARING. DAY. —  
				
The main change after Mary's death was the attitude, the suspicion and the weapons, as EVERYONE START TO HOLD A WEAPON. 
				
CHEN
We must do something. I can't stand anymore this situation. It was not one of us. 
				
After one day hearing the same, RICHARD, THOMAS AND DAVID don't respond anymore. 
				
CHEN (CONT'D)
I am calling for a meeting. 
(she looks stubbornly determined)

The three guys agree with her and CHEN CALLS everyone. When GUDRUM refuses to go, she goes to her and whispers in her ears, CHEN HUGS GUDRUM and at last gets her to come join the CIRCLE OF PEOPLE. 
				
But, as soon as they are in the circle, blame starts to fly over. 
				
AMÃ©LIA
Você tinha que cuidar das armas! Você não podia ter deixado as armas aí, para qualquer pessoa pegar. 
				
MIGUEL
¡Cálmate, por favor! 
				
DESIRÃ¨E
We have a murderer among us. Someone has to do something and... 
				
DESIREE'S voice is interrupted by a kind of splash. RICHARD AND CHEN's eyes open widely when they see Desirèe's HEADLESS BODY. 
				
CHEN
It is an attack! Everyone looks for refuge. 
				
CHEN half-stands, pointing and firing against the point where the shot came against Desirèe. Everyone takes cover somehow, putting their bodies glued to the floor. RICHARD AND THOMAS starts firing, imitating Chen. GUDRUM gets hysterical, SUZANNE takes her as far as possible. 
				
A bunch of HORRIBLE CREATURES come, clumsily, with their own weapons, firing at them. Their boides are gray color similar to a big snail but with no eyes or shell. THEIR AIM is poor, hitting the trees around the clearing. After half an hour with no more hurt or dead humans, the battle is over with the creatures ALL DEAD. 
				
RICHARD goes towards them and check if they are really dead. 
				
THOMAS
Listen, whatever was that, more can come at any moment. 
(he looks at Chen, for the first time acknowledging her leadership)
 I think we should move. 
				
CHEN does not respond to that immediately. She looks at RICHARD AND MIGUEL, who are getting the creatures' weapons. 
				
CHEN
Thomas... he is right. Everyone, we must move away from here... 
(she freezes, when she sees the body still clumsily sitting, without head)

DAVID
OK, then, let's go now. Don't leave any weapon behind. Suzanne, are you okay there with Gudrum? 
				
SUZANNE nods with her head, embracing a sobbing GUDRUM. RICHARD is concentrated in the creatures. He looks at the point from where they came, and he goes there along with MIGUEL, take more weapons left by them and start to move towards the opposite side. Without words, all follow them. 
				
SLOWLY THE PROCESSION OF HUMANS start to move after RICHARD and MIGUEL. THOMAS AND CHEN goes at the back, DAVID is with GUDRUM AND SUZANNE. AMÉLIA is alone, YURI AND SÁNDOR coming just after her. At some point, RICHARD stands, waiting for everyone to pass him. When the last person goes, DAVID, he starts to move but then he sees THE FADED IMAGES OF DESIREEE AND MARY waving to him. THEY LOOK SAD. At last, he moves, going forward to the front of the group. 
				
FADE OUT 
				
EXT. EXT. DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENT. A RIVER IS SEEN. —  
				
The group looks tired. The day is starting to get dark and there is a river on the way. 
				
CHEN
I think we can stay here tonight. Thomas? 
				
THOMAS
I think it is good. Yuri and Sándor, come, help us to create some kind of shelter here and let's have a bonfire. Everyone, let's do our duties. That... well, that will help. 
				
Everyone starts to move, but Richard who looks in shock. Chen looks at him, very concerned. She gets closer to him. 
				
RICHARD
I will take the first shift. 
				
He does not wait for any comment from her, he just turns around and starts to move in a regular pace. 
				
FADE AWAY. 
				
EXT. EXT. MORNING. —  
				
The rests of food are seeing everywhere. 
				
Chen is training everyone in how to defend and how to attack. Gudrum is sitting far from everyone and everything. 
				
The training is very hard. Miguel helps with the guns. Richard is still in shock. 
				
CUT. 
				
EXT. EXT. STILL DAY, GETTING DARK. —  
				
THOMAS
We should move on. 
				
They all complain against that, but Thomas raises his hand. 
				
THOMAS (CONT'D)
Please, David and I we went ahead. There is a better place, more protected, and it is less than one hour. We can be there before night. 
				
Everybody is silent. Miguel curses and start to get his weapons. Everyone does the same, Suzanne helps Gudrum to move on. 
				
CUT. 
				
EXT. INT. UNDER A SHELTER. NIGHT. —  
				
MIGUEL and RICHARD are seen tired and sweating a lot. Light comes from a kind of hole on the roof and a PIECE OF THE MOONS can be seen. 
				
RICHARD
You know what? If the monsters do not kill us, Chen will. 
				
MIGUEL
Te aconsejo a bajar la voz. 
(I advise you to lower your voice)
 Rumour says that she has ears everywhere, eyes everywhere... 
				
Both laughed. RICHARD looks at Miguel a bit more than it should, so he blushes slightly. 
				
MIGUEL (CONT'D)
(looking at Richard)
 I think I will take a shower after all that. 
				
RICHARD
Now, in the night? 
				
MIGUEL
No snakes, man! 
(and he leaves)

RICHARD remains under the shelter. He shakes his head and tells no-one in specific: 
				
RICHARD
I feel like I am sleeping with lions. 
				
He closes the hole and send the shelter into darkness. 
				
EXT. EXT. CONSTRUCTION CAMP. MORNING. —  
				
CUT TO: 
				
YURI
How very days being we here? 
				
YURI, SÁNDOR and RICHARD are seen building. They are all sweating profusely, but the shelters they are building look very well. 
				
RICHARD looks at Yuri, he thinks how his English has improved, but still he responds: 
				
RICHARD
Dear Yoda, don't know I 
				
He pauses a while, but no laughter comes, as they did not understood the joke. 
				
RICHARD (CONT'D)
Don't know. 3, 4, 5 days? Ask Chen, she is the master of time. 
				
SÁNDOR says something to YURI, that makes him laugh. RICHARD looks at them puzzled. 
				
RICHARD (CONT'D)
WHAT?! 
				
YURI
Sándor says that you and Chen, not seing together. Breaked? 
				
RICHARD does not respond. Just go on working. He is still in shock for Mary's death, he is not over it and Chen has to train them all. 
				
RICHARD gets the last log from a pile, looks at Yuri. 
				
RICHARD
Yoda, time to go and fetch more wood. 
				
HE WALKS AWAY, without looking behind. Still laughing, Yuri goes after him and speaks in rapid Russian to Sándor, to follow them. 
				
After they have left, CHEN shows up and looks at their backs. Her face shows some kind of sorrow. Then, she goes back to the side she came. 
				
EXT. EXT. WOODS. STILL MORNING. —  
				
CUT TO: 
				
RICHARD is catching the pieces of wood. He has problem to balance all of them and his weapon. He looks at YURI and SÁNDOR, who are quicker in that, but see their weapons are all over the place. 
				
RICHARD
You shouldn't leave your weapons around. 
				
YURI
(Sándor looks at him expectantly, but Yuri does not translate)
 Well, we've you with us. You good weapons shooting. And... 
				
The weapons don't make much sound, but there is a kind of WHOOSH in the air and something is thrown FLYING. 
				
RICHARD
Down you too! Get to your weapons! 
				
RICHARD sees YURI alone, getting to his weapon, they are pretty close to each other. He spins the head and sees the rests of Sándor's body behind him, the flying thing. Slowly, he DRAGS himself closer to Yuri. 
				
SLOW MOTION. THE MONSTERS COME, gray and blue, fluid like they are used to the planet and its gravity. The weapons are more firmly in their paws, and they shoot, reaching YURI's body, destroying it even more. Pieces of his body reaches RICHARD. 
				
RICHARD (CONT'D)
At the count of three, you start to shoot the same weapon over and over. Point towards them. 
(his voice is like a whisper)

RICHARD positions his WEAPONS in a way Chen has taught them, while YURI is like a sniper. 
				
RICHARD (CONT'D)
One... 
				
The MONSTERS are closer to them, but their focus seems to be in Yuri's body. 
				
RICHARD (CONT'D)
Two... Three... 
				
Yuri's shots seem precise. THE MONSTERS spin towards them, but RICHARD gets other weapons and start to shoot, turning between the weapons. 
				
The monsters are quickly finished and IN THEIR PLACE, there is just pieces of their bodies, craters and destroyed trees. 
				
V.O. Voices are heard, and fast steps towards them, but RICHARD SMILES. 
				
RICHARD (CONT'D)
Did you see that, Yoda? Did you... 
				
YURI holds a place where his arm used to be. HIS FACE is pale and almost without life. 
				
RICHARD (CONT'D)
No, Yuri, no! 
				
YURI's eyes fix into Richard's. SHADOWS of others cover them, but nobody gets close. 
				
YURI
Sorry... do not... let she... 
				
And HIS body just slumps down. RICHARD can't bear and just cry. And cry. He feels others removing Yuri's body. He sees TWO PEOPLE HOLDING GUNS just ahead of him. He feels a soft touch in his arm and obeys, without resistence. 
				
His head is towards Yuri. He sees MIGUEL and AMÉLIA preparing the weapons to burn the bodies. He sees DAVID coming close for the traditional prayer. 
				
At last, he follows completely CHEN, who puts her arm around him and take him to the shelter. 
				
FADE AWAY. V.O. David's voice is heard, chanting slowly. 
				
EXT. EXT. AROUND A BONFIRE. NIGHT. —  
				
CLOSE ON everyone, showing their state of shock. AMÉLIA is beside MIGUEL, RICHARD (who is looking down) follows and then CHEN, THOMAS and DAVID. Last seen are SUZANNE and GUDRUM. 
				
THOMAS looks at CHEN AND DAVID meaningfully. 
				
THOMAS
(with a firm and loud voice)
 We've lost more of us. We must leave in the morning. We will have to reorganize ourselves and all. I hope... 
				
RICHARD
(V.O.)
 No. 
				
For a second, THOMAS remains with his mouth open. He does not react for a split of second. Then, HE TURNS (LIKE EVERYONE ELSE) towards Richard. 
				
RICHARD'S HEAD IS IN EVERYONE'S LEVEL. He looks at all. 
				
RICHARD (CONT'D)
Yuri and Sándor, they worked hard to give us shelters. There is little to build, I can finish that with some help. And, tell me, who can assure us there won't be any monsters wherever we go. Here is as good as anywhere else. 
				
THOMAS
(starting to get nervous)
 Richard, I know how hard was for you... 
				
RICHARD
HARD? You don't know hard! First, it was Mary, I was supposed to wake, I was the one to find her. 
(he looks very quick at Gudrum, who does not respond)
. Then, Yuri and Sándor... No, you don't know, man. you don't know. 
				
CHEN
Rich... 
				
RICHARD
(he puts a hand in Chen's arm, stopping her to keep on talking)
 Listen, most of the buildings are ready, this is pretty safe. And I need... FUCK! WE need to settle... S-E-T-T-L-E! We need to know this area better, understand where those monsters came, understand way outs, all around us. It is time to realize we are a community, a tribe, and there are other tribes threatening us. We need to train more 
(he looks at Chen)
, we need to think our defense better 
(he looks at Thomas)
, we need to eat, drink, pee, fuck, do whatever we do. We need to stay somewhere. 
				
CLOSE ON Richard's eyes. At last, he looks down. Chen looks at everyone. Slowly, they raise their hands, showing they agree with Richard. THOMAS is the last one to raise his hands. Gudrum does not raise her hand. RICHARD looks at her. 
				
FADE AWAY. 
				
EXT. INT. UNDER A SHELTER. NIGHT. —  
				
RICHARD and CHEN are under the same shelter. 
				
RICHARD
Do you think this is the right thing to do? 
				
CHEN
I must say, I prefered Thomas' idea. 
(Richard turns his face towards her)
 But, you have made your point. We will stay. 
				
RICHARD
So we will be settling then? 
				
CHEN
(she comes very close to Richard)
 Yes, Rich, we are settling. 
				
BOTH are silent for some time, until they kiss. 
				
FADE AWAY. 
				
EXT. EXT. OUT OF THE SHELTER. MORNING. —  
				
CUT TO: 
				
RICHARD looks over in direction to the place where there was the last battle. 
				
FLASHBACK. SERIES OF SHOT. THE MONSTERS. YURI. SÁNDOR. MARY. DESIRÈE. HIS FACE CONTRACTS of horror. 
				
He goes towards the building area. MIGUEL is there, along with DAVID, AMÉLIA and CHEN. He stops a bit. At a short distance, he sees THOMAS. 
				
RICHARD
Ok, let's do this for them. I will teach you what they taught me. Let's build this... 
				
His voice fades in the distance. 
				
CLOSE ON Thomas. After a while, he also gets up and goes towards the group. 
				
EXT. INT. BIG SHELTER. EVENING. —  
				
(V.O.) Cries are heard. 
				
Camera goes around the roof, showing the building. There is a hole in the roof. 
				
CLOSE ON the bonfire. Slowly, behind the bonfire, there is Suzanne. She cries openly and nobody tries to stop her. There is silence. 
				
Camera shows very briefly the others. They look quite older than the last time. Beside Suzanne is DAVID on his left, after him is CHEN, then THOMAS, RICHARD, AMÉLIA and MIGUEL on Suzanne's right. 
				
CLOSE ON Suzanne, the bonfire is seen slightly. She starts to speak with her weeping cutting the talk. 
				
SUZANNE
She... she couldn't do anything right 
(she laughs)
 Once, I shouted at her... Oh, mon Dieu, I shouted at her! 
				
CLOSE ON Suzanne, with her hands on her mouth, crying and crying. 
				
EXT. INT. BIG SHELTER. EVENING. —  
				
CLOSE ON Richard. FLASHBACK. He sees GUDRUM as the first person he ever saw. 
				
SERIES OF SHOTS showing Gudrum in different aspects. 
				
Richard keeps quiet, with the CLOSE ON him. 
				
CLOSE ON SUZANNE. 
				
SUZANNE
I can't believe I am here. With you. You are heroes for me. The first attack... 
				
FLASHBACK. THE FIRST ATTACK. 
				
SUZANNE (CONT'D)
I saw heroes in you... Richard, Chen, all of you... but I am not. 
(she restrains her crying)
 I am not a hero. 
				
FLASHBACK. ATTACKS occurred in different moments, after the death of Yuri and Sándor. MIGUEL and AMÉLIA are shown defending position. 
				
SUZANNE (CONT'D)
The weapons were there, but... but I could not use them. 
				
FADE AWAY. 
				
EXT. INT. BIG SHELTER. EVENING. —  
				
CLOSE ON AMÉLIA. She cries. She tries to open the mouth and say something, but she only cries. 
				
CLOSE ON MIGUEL. 
				
MIGUEL
She was very nice. Quiet. Funny. Nice. 
				
FLASHBACK. Gudrum is shown making others laugh. 
				
CLOSE ON SUZANNE. 
				
SUZANNE
I felt I was dead all the time those monsters shown up 
(not crying)
 Dead... 
				
FADE AWAY. 
				
EXT. INT. BIG SHELTER. EVENING. —  
				
CLOSE ON MIGUEL. He smiles. 
				
MIGUEL
I remember when I found that spring, so pure the water. No need to risk ourselves going to the river all the time. 
				
Everyone HAILS when he says that. 
				
MIGUEL (CONT'D)
The spring was there, and we... I found it. It was so great! 
				
CLOSE ON RICHARD, who looks strangely sad. CHEN is shown just beside him, looking at him and Miguel. 
				
FADE AWAY. 
					
EXT. INT. BIG SHELTER. EVENING. —  
				
CUT TO: 
				
THOMAS
I don't think. Since I am here I am not thinking of what is going on, of my family... 
(he pauses)
 I prefer to not think. A blank mind is the solution. 
(his eyes are moist)

FADE AWAY. 
				
EXT. INT. BIG SHELTER. EVENING. —  
				
CLOSE ON AMÉLIA. She cries all the time, MIGUEL embraces her. 
				
AMÃ©LIA
She... ela... meu deus! 
				
RICHARD looks at both of them. CHEN looks at Richard. 
				
EXT. INT. BIG SHELTER. EVENING. —  
				
CUT TO: 
				
CLOSE ON RICHARD. He looks sad, looking down, not moving his lips. 
				
CHEN (V.O.)
Say something. 
				
RICHARD REMAINS quiet for some minutes more. 
				
OVERLAPPING WITH NEXT SCENE. 
				
EXT. INT. BIG SHELTER. EVENING. —  
				
OVERLAPPING WITH LAST SCENE. 
				
CLOSE ON DAVID. 
				
DAVID
I don't condemn her. I also thought of doing the same, who did not? 
(he looks at everyone defiantly)
 I am sure God has forgiven her and we also forgave her. We just move on. For us. 
(he pauses, his voice softens)
 For her. 
				
MUFFLED CRY by Amélia is heard. 
				
CLOSE ON Richard, who is still quiet. 
				
EXT. INT. BIG SHELTER. EVENING. —  
				
CUT TO: 
				
CLOSE ON RICHARD. 
				
RICHARD
(still with eyes down, he sighs)
 I... I was... It was my turn, it was my shift. I was just roaming around... 
				
FLASHBACK. NO SOUND. 
				
RICHARD (V.O.)
I heard the noise of a weapon. It took sometime to register as they are so noiseless. Then, I started to look for the origin, I went and awaken Thomas, Chen, 
(he looks at her, she looks in a very sweet encouraging way)
 and all others. 
				
The voice pauses, but images keep on going. 
				
RICHARD
I saw a part of the camping where trees seemed different. I went there, and I saw... I saw her arm. I put myself into defense position, I thought it was an attack. 
(he starts to cry, his voice is tired)
 Then, I realised... I realised... There was no head. 
				
BACK TO SCENE. RICHARD'S head is in his hands. 
				
RICHARD (CONT'D)
I've tried to not look, but I had to, it was my shift, for God's sake, for God's fucking sake. Why did I not prevent that? We all saw her, I saw her... Why? 
(he asks, looking at Chen)

CHEN holds RICHARD firmly in her arms. He just surrenders like a boy to his mom, a lover to another lover. 
				
CAMERA shows everyone, one by one, Amélia has stopped to cry, but MIGUEL's arms are still on her shoulders. 
				
RICHARD gets separated from Chen's arms. 
				
RICHARD (CONT'D)
David is right, nobody can condemn her. I've forgiven her. I... I am forgiving myself now. 
(there is an expression of surprise in some faces)
 I pushed myself and I went there, I removed the weapon from her hands because... I don't know why, just didn't look right. Everyone was there by then. 
				
CHEN is crying openly. 
				
FADE AWAY. 
				
EXT. INT. BIG SHELTER. EVENING. —  
				
SHOT FROM UP. 
				
EVERYONE is standing around the bonfire. All embraced, looking down, towards the bonfire. 
				
CLOSE ON DAVID. 
				
DAVID
Goodbye, Gudrum. 
				
ALL OTHERS
Goodbye, Gudrum. 
				
DAVID
We thank God for allowing you to be with us, although for such a short time. 
				
ALL OTHERS
We thank God for allowing you to be with us, although for such a short time. 
				
DAVID
We thank you for your lessons and we honor your memory. 
				
ALL OTHERS (MUFFLED VOIC
(Gudrum is shown inside the bonfire, looking at everyone, with a charming smile; Richard, Chen and others look at the same image)
 We thank you for your lessons and we honor your memory. 
				
FADE AWAY. 
				
EXT. INT. BIG SHELTER. EVENING. —  
				
STRANGE SOUNDS, SIMILAR TO MUSIC. 
				
MIGUEL
Are you sure?? 
				
THOMAS
That IS music! I am telling you! 
				
CUT TO: 
				
DAVID is shown playing something, made of wood and strings. AMÉLIA is laughing beside Miguel and Thomas 
				
MIGUEL
Miguel, deixa de ser chato! That is our music! 
				
RICHARD AND CHEN come close to them. MIGUELshifts a little, but THOMAS AND AMÉLIA are all smiles. 
				
RICHARD
So, did you give a thought? 
				
AMÃ©LIA
(Miguel and Thomas try to respond, but Amélia speaks for them)
 Hell? Definitely! 
				
THEY ALL laugh together. 
				
THOMAS
I prefer Hades... 
				
ALMOST ALL
Boooo! 
				
EVERYONE LAUGHS, even DAVID. SUZANNE comes with a big tray. 
				
SUZANNE
Can anyone helps with the champagne? 
				
AMÃ©LIA
I go! 
				
THOMAS
Champagne? Pizza? Suzanne, tell us the secret! 
				
SUZANNE
Why Thomas, do you want to take over me? 
(Her smile and look embarasses Thomas)

THOMAS
Just asking... 
				
SUZANNE
OK, no problem. I found a plant... 
(she starts delivering the pizza to everyone)
 ... when you cut it, something white comes from it. I've tried and it really look like milk. I was able to test somethings on it and I've got yoghurt... 
				
RICHARD
(taking his piece of pizza)
 That yoghurt today, that was delicious! 
				
SUZANNE
(looking at Amélia)
 Amélie, please, help everyone. Did you find the glasses? 
(Amélia shows her the glasses made out of some kind of fruit shell)
 Good! So, 
(she turns to Thomas, but Chen and Richard are also listening to it)
, I tried until I find something that made that milk into cheese. 
				
CHEN
When you say something? 
				
SUZANNE
(stares at Chen for a while)
 Just enjoy the pizza, will you? 
(Richard and Thomas laugh; Chen has second thoughts about the pizza, but finally she ate)
 And, well, the flour was even easier. Do you remember, David 
(she speaks with a French pronounciation)
, do you remember the grass you saw the other day? 
(David assents with his head, without stopping playing)
 So 
(she turns to Richard, Chen, Thomas and Amélia)
, I start to test that grass, which is like brown, and I was able to produce flour. So, voilà, we have pizza! 
				
RICHARD
And the champagne? 
				
SUZANNE
Are you sure you wanna know? 
				
ALL LAUGHS, DAVID looks very concentrated. THEY TALK among themselves very animatedly. 
				
DAVID stops playing, he gets up, and he goes for his pizza and champagne. 
				
THOMAS
Now that we are all here... 
				
EVERYONE GETS SILENT and just stares at Thomas. THOMAS raises his cup, ALL follows him. 
				
THOMAS (CONT'D)
For one year of victories! Cheers! 
				
ALL
(touching their glasses)
 Cheers! 
(everyone smiles)

RICHARD
For everyone who left us! 
(silence)
 Mary... 
				
CHEN
Desirée... 
				
DAVID
Yuri... 
				
THOMAS
Sándor... 
				
SUZANNE
Gudrum... 
				
IN SILENCE, all touch their glasses. Finally, AMÉLIA steps ahead, turns to see everyone and raises her glass. 
				
AMÃ©LIA
For HELL! One year in Planet Hell! 
				
Again, THEY ALL LAUGH, touch their glasses. 
				
THEY SPLIT in small couples: Thomas and Suzanne, Amélia and Miguel, Richard and Chen. 
				
DAVID takes his "guitar" again and starts to play all over again. There is a party atmosphere. 
				
RICHARD
Don't you wonder...? 
				
CHEN
What? 
				
RICHARD
I don't know. It is just that after all that group therapy you've conducted, nobody really, well, challenged the idea we are in another planet. 
				
CHEN LOOKS AT HIM without understanding. 
				
RICHARD (CONT'D)
(he sighs)
 Never mind. It is just... I used to watch so many movies on this kind of things... 
				
CHEN
I thought you did not remember your former life. 
				
RICHARD
(he makes a face)
 I told you I can remember things, only not things related to whom I was... anyway, I used to question, or at least I think I used to, how come these guys just accept things like that, how come people are unconcerned... now I see us. 
				
CHEN plays with her cup a little bit. SUZANNE shows up with the refill to her, and leaves. 
				
CHEN
I know what you mean. I also thought about that. My training was not... well, was not exactly psychology, but I think we created some kind of psychological defense. Otherwise, we will all go insane. 
				
RICHARD
We will all go Gudrum... 
				
CHEN
I think many more people thought like her. 
				
RICHARD
Didn't you? 
				
CHEN
(smiling)
 I have a child. A wonderful child. 
(serious)
 No, I never thought like Gudrum. 
				
RICHARD AND CHEN walk a little more in silence. 
				
RICHARD
Why don't you tell me more about your training? 
				
CHEN
Yeah, it is ridiculous to have classified things in Hell. Come on 
(she looks meaningfully at him)
, I will tell you all. 
				
RICHARD AND CHEN are seen leaving the shelter. 
				
FADE AWAY. 
				
EXT. EXT. CAMPING. MORNING. —  
				
RICHARD is seen along with some new buildings. He is checking something in them. CHEN approaches him. 
				
CHEN
Richard, I am worried. The exploration group is out there for a long time. 
				
RICHARD
(without looking at her, still looking at the building)
 Is it a big delay? 
				
CHEN
About one hour. 
				
RICHARD bites his lips and looks at her. There is love in his eyes and that calms her. CHEN smiles a little. 
				
RICHARD
Well, Chen, you know that you are the only time-freak around, right? 
				
CHEN laughs. RICHARD stands and embraces her. 
				
RICHARD (CONT'D)
Hey, all is OK. Thomas is in that group, right? 
				
CHEN
(without looking at him)
 Right. 
				
RICHARD
So, Chen, you are talking about Thomas, BIG Thomas! Don't worry. If they don't come for another hour, Miguel and I, we will go after them. Deal? 
				
CHEN
(she wipes tears)
 Deal! I... I am sorry, I don't know what is happening with me. 
(she looks at her side)
 David... 
				
RICHARD is very serious, but he does not have an opportunity to say anything. At that moment, AMÉLIA comes, laughing and shouting. 
				
AMÃ©LIA
MIGUEL! RICHARD! Achamos o paraíso! 
				
AMÉLIA hugs Miguel, who was helping Suzanne in nurturing David, who looks very sick. 
				
RICHARD
(responding to the astonishing eyes of Chen)
 We found Paradise, that is what she said. 
				
THOMAS
And she is right! 
(Thomas comes closer to Chen, who looks very skeptical)
 I don't have any doubt about it. It is something like a cave, with all four sides completely covered. A hole on the roof, just like our shelters, allow light to come in. The nature there is impressive, 
(now, everyone is around Thomas, even the sick David, supported by Suzanne and Miguel)
 with everything we need there, even a small stream. 
				
AMÃ©LIA
A river, Thomas! 
				
THOMAS
Alright, a small river... a medium-sized... anyway, listen, you should go there and see with your own eyes. We will be safe there. 
				
DAVID shift in his own position. SUZANNE gives him something to drink, but he is still standing, listening to what they say about his new paradise. 
				
THE REST are staring at Chen. At last, she speaks. 
				
CHEN
OK, tomorrow we will send couples there. Amélia and yourself, Thomas, will go with them in shifts. We will decide this together. 
				
For some reason, RICHARD does not look happy. 
				
FADE AWAY. 
				
EXT. INT. CAVE. MORNING. —  
					
EVERYONE looks around. THEIR FACES show awe, but CHEN's face shows deep concern, and RICHARD tries to look happier, but he can't. 
				
THOMAS
(approvaching Chen and Richard)
 What is wrong with you? 
				
CHEN
I don't like the idea of having brought David. 
				
DAVID is seen supported by Amélia and Miguel. He looks very sick, and they put him against a rock on the floor. 
				
CHEN (CONT'D)
(irritated)
 We should have come in pairs, and David... 
				
RICHARD
He wouldn't stand to stay behind, Chen. Please. Let's be objective here, OK? Is it worthwhile to leave our present place and change that to here. 
				
CHEN is silent. 
				
THOMAS
As we are all here, let's sit and talk together about that. 
				
The camera shows the cave. There is a green part, the first piece of green shown in Hell. Trees, rocks and the stream look like a heavenly garden. 
				
DAVID
Eden... this is the garden... 
(he speaks with lots of effort, showing at the garden)

RICHARD
(when he sees Chen is not responding)
 OK, folks, let's get together and talk about... the possibility of our moving here. 
				
CUT. 
				
EXT. EXT. CAVE OUTSIDE. MORNING. —  
				
CLOSE ON the group, bringing everything they had. DAVID moves with the help of a stick, SUZANNE is by his side. 
				
THEY reach the entrance of the cave. RICHARD goes ahead and, without saying any word, steps in, followed by everyone. 
				
EXT. INT. CAVE. SAME TIME. —  
				
RICHARD, CHEN, THOMAS are seen unpacking everything they have. 
				
SERIES OF SHOTS showing unpacking and preparing things around. 
				
THOMAS
Well, we won't need shelters! 
				
SERIES OF CLOSE ON RICHARD, THOMAS, CHEN, DAVID, SUZANNE, AMÉLIA, MIGUEL. 
				
CHEN looks at RICHARD, who is staring at MIGUEL. Both, CHEN and MIGUEL look quite unhappy. 
				
EXT. INT. CAVE, AROUND THE BONFIRE. EVENING. —  
				
Everyone, but CHEN, are laughing at something. RICHARD are also laughing, he is beside MIGUEL, who looks unconcerned by this proximity. AMÉLIA helps SUZANNE with dinner. 
				
RICHARD gets up and goes to the stream. After a while, he comes back and throws water on THOMAS' head, who laughs at that. 
				
CHEN scowls, gets up and goes to sleep. 
				
EXT. INT. CAVE. MORNING. —  
				
CUT TO: 
				
THOMAS and CHEN are arguing. CLOSE ON the rest, still sleeping. RICHARD is very near MIGUEL. 
				
CHEN
(speaking very loudly)
 DAYS! We have arrived here days ago! 
				
THOMAS
Chen... 
				
MUFFLED VOICES. CLOSE ON RICHARD. 
				
RICHARD opens his eyes slowly. He looks beside him, where Miguel is. RICHARD looks upset. Then, he looks at CHEN AND THOMAS, while he is getting up. 
				
CHEN sees Richard and comes closer very fast. 
				
CHEN
THAT IS ALL YOU KNOW TO DO: SLEEP AND SLEEP, HAVING FUN, THAT IS ALL! 
(Richard starts to speak here)
 YOU ARE IRRESPONSIBLE... 
				
RICHARD
AFTER SO MANY DEATHS 
(his voice overlaps Chen's)
, after the fact I am alive, we are alive, is that bad, Chen? Why so much pressure, Chen? Why? 
				
THOMAS
(he came closer very slowly; all others are awaken watching the scene)
 Listen, please! Chen, Richard. 
(there is a pause)
 Listen, please. 
(turning towards Chen)
 Richard is right, Chen. We have been under so much stress, defending our lives, seeing each other dieing. How many attacks we had up to now? 
(turning towards Richard)
 Chen is right, Richard. We are too slack, lazy even. We have to wake up. 
				
DAVID comes closer. He looks quite well, still with a stick. 
				
DAVID
Chen can train us, and we can enjoy the rest of the time. Days are long, very long, we can do it all in one day. Richard? 
				
RICHARD does not say anything, but he nods in agreement. 
				
CHEN
OK, we will have to start... start with organizing everything. 
(she flicks her hands around and goes)

THOMAS looks reproachfully towards RICHARD and MIGUEL, and he goes after Chen. After a while, the camera distances and shows everyone organizing things all over. 
				
FADE AWAY. 
				
EXT. INT. CAVE, UNDER THE ROOF. AFTERNOON. —  
				
CLOSE ON Chen, who is sweating, holding one of the weapons. 
				
CHEN
That's it, people, once more! 
				
The camera shows everyone doing exercises with the weapon. CLOSE ON David, who shows the pain in his face, but he is still doing exercise. 
				
ALL are sweating profusely, and they look very tired. 
				
CUT TO: 
				
ALL are playing in the gelatinous stream, throwing water into each other, even CHEN, who receives most of the attacks. THEY LAUGH and enjoy. 
				
EXT. INT. CAVE, ALONG THE STREAM. NIGHT. —  
				
RICHARD is seen taking a bath in the river. It is night, only his profile is seen against the soft light coming from the sky breaking into the roof. 
				
Then, another person enters the river. MIGUEL comes close to Richard. 
				
MIGUEL
Hi, ¿bañándote a esta hora? 
(taking a bath at this time)

RICHARD
Yes, you too? 
(silence)
 It is nice this place, right? 
				
MIGUEL
Paradise, a good name! 
				
RICHARD
Yeah... 
				
BOTH are shown very close to each other. As the camera distances, THEY GET even closer. 
				
They hug each other and their bodies go beneath the river. 
				
CLOSE ON the back of a person, staring at them. It is a woman, Chen's back. Her hands go to her shoulders, as she braces herself to what she is witnessing. 
				
FADE AWAY. 
				
EXT. INT. CAVE, ALONG THE STREAM. SAME TIME. —  
				
CLOSE ON an improvised plate. Everyone is talking over dinner, but RICHARD looks alone. MIGUEL is seen between Amélia and David, and CHEN is helping SUZANNE with the food. 
				
RICHARD puts his food down, and he starts to play with it. After a while, he gets up and goes to sleep. 
				
CLOSE ON RICHARD'S back, while he is moving away. Sound of voices fade. 
				
FADE AWAY. 
				
EXT. INT. CAVE, BY THE STREAM. EARLY MORNING, 5 MONTHS LATER. —  
				
CHEN
It is incredible. 
				
RICHARD
What? 
				
CHEN
(without looking at him)
 It is incredible how we were able to really create a community among us. 
				
MIGUEL
Here in Paradise. 
				
RICHARD throws a little water in MIGUEL and CHEN, who react annoyed. With his face, RICHARD indicates that he just gives up. 
				
CHEN
(trying to dry her hair)
 And the training has been excellent. I really feel we are prepared. It is obvious that those monsters don't like heights, or something in this cave scares them, but one day we will have to face the reality outside. We are ready for that. 
				
RICHARD
It is incredible that we have been for five months in this cave. 
				
MIGUEL
We were longer in the former camping. 
				
RICHARD
Yes, but it was in the opening... I don't know, sometimes I feel... 
				
THOMAS
(running towards them)
 Chen, Richard, did you see Suzanne? Miguel, did you see Suzanne? 
				
DAVID comes after him, also running, but slower. 
				
DAVID
I was looking for her, but there is nothing there, nobody. 
				
AMÉLIA comes closer. 
				
AMÃ©LIA
I was preparing what she told me yesterday, but I did not see her... since yesterday night. 
				
THOMAS
We have to look for her. The cave is huge. David and Amélia, go there. 
(he points one part of the cave)
 Richard, go with... 
				
CHEN
Miguel and I can go there. 
(she points towards another direction)

RICHARD looks very upset and disturbed now. Before Thomas say anything, he says something 
				
RICHARD
I heard the other day, Suzanne was starting to think about different things. Perhaps she is outside. 
				
CHEN
That is a stupid idea! 
(she says in a low voice)

THOMAS
Let's go, then, Richard. Take your weapons. All of you, people, don't go without weapons. 
				
RICHARD looks sadly at Chen, who leaves with MIGUEL. 
				
THOMAS grabs RICHARD by the arm and drags him outside the cave. 
				
CUT TO: 
				
EXT. INT. CAVE, AROUND A BONFIRE. EARLY EVENING. —  
				
DAVID
We found her tracks. 
(he looks at the depressed faces of everyone around him)
 It is strange, it seems she was getting things, food, and all of a sudden, her tracks vanish. 
				
There is silence in the air. Amélia wipes some tears in her face. 
				
RICHARD
She... she has to be somewhere. Did we...? 
				
CHEN
Yes, Richard, we look for her everywhere! 
(she speaks forcefully, almost hitting him with her words)
 She is not, she is no anywhere. 
(she looks down, Miguel embraces her)

It was then that AMÉLIA starts to cry. Her crying is loud, she puts her own hand in her mouth to stop crying. 
				
AMÃ©LIA
The worse... the worse... 
(still crying)

EVERYONE is silently looking at her. DAVID tries to put his arms on her shoulder, but she avoids that. 
				
AMÃ‰LIA
(still crying)
 The worse... is that we just noticed... because there was no breakfast... 
				
In everyone's face, there is surprise and even hate. They all agree she is right. THEY look down. 
				
CHEN
Let the training kick in, people. 
(she gets up, taking Miguel's arm out of her shoulder and looking at Richard in a way he did not see for a long time)
 Richard, please, prepare yourself for a shift, the first one. I... I trust in you, you will be stable. Amélia, please, get rid of yourself, we need food and Suzanne taught you. Please, go with Miguel and grab whatever is available, no need for fancy things to eat tonight. 
(looking at Thomas and David)
 Can we get together and plan what to do? 
(looking back to Richard)
 If you want, come also. 
				
RICHARD
No, you are right, we need someone watching, I will be at the front of the cave. 
				
CHEN
We will all meet for dinner. We need to see what to do. 
				
FADE AWAY. 
				
EXT. INT. CAVE, AROUND A BONFIRE. DINNER TIME. —  
				
Whilst eating, they all talk about what they saw and plans. 
				
CHEN
The suggestion is that we don't do anything tonight. David mentioned that he knows a way out, without using the front entrance, so we will be using that, and, well, we will move out tomorrow morning, after breakfast. 
				
AMÃ©LIA
Breakfast... the only thing we think of. 
				
Before CHEN replies, DAVID takes over. 
				
DAVID
People, we need good rest and, yes, we need good food. It is like an extension of this cave, but we have to go via the stream. So, please, let's behave tonight. 
(he looks at Amélia, who does not look back)
 I know some of you are scared, God, I am scared, but we cannot lose our spirit now. 
				
There is a little silence. AMÉLIA then looks at David. 
				
AMÃ©LIA
So, no plan for tonight? 
				
THOMAS
On the contrary. 
(he shows some kind of ropes)
 We do have a plan. 
				
CUT TO: 
				
They are all binding themselves and tying the ropes around. AMÉLIA is tied to MIGUEL, who is tied to RICHARD, who is tied to CHEN, who ties herself to THOMAS. THOMAS is tied to DAVID, who closes the circle, tied around AMÉLIA. 
				
THOMAS (CONT'D)
Now, remember, don't do it too tightly in case... 
(he does not finish the sentence)

RICHARD
In case someone is taken. 
(he pauses)
 If someone is taken and the rope is too tight, others will go along; in this way, if someone is taken, we can sound an alarm 
(his voice starts to break)
 and prevent more losses. We can even recover the one who was taken and... 
				
CHEN
Richard. 
(she says that with love, holding his arm and pointint at the others)

The camera shows fear in everyone's faces. AMÉLIA is openly crying now. 
				
CHEN (CONT'D)
Come on, let's sleep together. 
				
FADE AWAY. 
				
EXT. INT. CAVE, AROUND THE BONFIRE. NIGHT. —  
				
CLOSE ON RICHARD, whose eyes are completely closed. Silence everywhere is broken by a scream. 
				
CHEN (V.O.)
MIGUEL IS BEING TAKEN! 
				
CLOSE ON RICHARD, who open his eyes completely. CHEN is seen over him, grabbing something (Miguel). 
				
CLOSE ON the rope holding Miguel. CUT TO Richard. 
				
RICHARD gets up (everyone else is already up). With the light of the bonfire, EVERYONE IS MOVING AROUND. 
				
CLOSE ON MIGUEL. His legs are up, CHEN holds his rope. RICHARD at last reaches for her. He looks up, but there is nothing to be seen. MIGUEL seems to be dragged by nothing, but the pull is very strong. Soon, everyone is holding the ropes at their maximum strength. 
				
THOMAS shots right above MIGUEL, and he falls, heavily on the floor. EVERYONE runs towards MIGUEL, while THOMAS keep on shooting up. 
				
Instinctively, they bring MIGUEL closer to the bonfire. DAVID holds him in his arms, whilst Amélia makes space for him. 
				
CLOSE ON MIGUEL's face. It is not responding, his eyes totally shut. 
				
DAVID
His pulse is very weak. 
(he is holding Miguel's wrist)
 Chen, can you check to see if he was bitten or what happened to him? 
				
RICHARD looks closer to his face. 
				
RICHARD
David, there is something weird in his nose. 
				
THEY ALL come closer to MIGUEL's face, but THOMAS who is still shooting. They see something dark coming out of the nose. DAVID shuffles with something and he comes with a kind of little stick. When he tries to take that out of Miguel's nose, the stick breaks. 
				
Immediately, DAVID puts his ears closer to Miguel's heart and lungs. 
				
DAVID
He is still breathing, but it is a heavy one. 
(he looks at the others - Thomas is also there)
 I... I don't know if I can remove that without causing some kind of damage to him. 
				
CHEN and AMÉLIA look shaken, they hug each other. RICHARD looks in shock. THOMAS and DAVID seem the only ones thinking. 
				
THOMAS
We must go. Whatever did that to him, we can't see them. We hav... 
				
CHEN
They are black. Black in black. This is why we can't see them. 
				
Everyone looks up, to the roof. To the BLACK ROOF. Their mouths are open with horror. 
				
RICHARD
They... have been... all the time with us... ALL THE TIME! 
				
RICHARD GETS UP and start to shoot on the roof. His shooting is salvage, and he screams whilst doing that. CLOSE ON his face, where tears are shown. Until a heavy sound is heard nearby. 
				
THOMAS
Stop, Richard! Chen, come with me. 
				
RICHARD stops, still holding the gun. CHEN and THOMAS get a stick from the bonfire and go closer to the place where they heard the sound. 
				
CHEN and THOMAS look at the strange mass on the floor, while holding guns against that. 
				
CHEN
Black in black... 
				
RICHARD
(talking loudly)
 Our strategy did not work. My suggestion is that we start to move out, somewhere, right now, before these things come to us. 
				
THOMAS
If we go out, we will be taken by whatever is there. 
				
RICHARD
Good! Welcome to Monsterland, monsters in, monsters out. 
				
DAVID
People 
(speaking softly, but loud enough to be hard)
, please, let's concentrate, ok? Why can't we go to the cave along the river? I went the other day, it seems safe enough and, now I realise, the roof is not black. 
				
For sometime, nobody said anything. 
				
RICHARD
OK, let's take everything. 
				
CHEN
What about Miguel? 
				
RICHARD
Fuck you, aren't you the leader? You should have a solution for that! 
				
THOMAS
I think Amélia and I can take him with us. Amélia is always talking about her abilities in the water, right? 
(Amélia only nods)
 So, we will do something with the ropes. Amélia, come and help me to take Miguel's b... Miguel to the river. 
				
DAVID
I can take him there, you get concerned about ropes, food - the cave there, I did not see food around! 
				
CHEN looks angrily at RICHARD, who also looks angry, but both, along with the others, start to move around. 
				
RICHARD feels movements all over and he starts to talk to himself. 
				
RICHARD
There is nothing out there, nothing out there! 
				
CUT. 
				
EXT. INT. CAVE, ALONG THE RIVER. SAME TIME. —  
				
EVERYBODY is in a hurry. RICHARD shots here and there. 
				
RICHARD
They are coming... I can... feel them. 
				
CHEN gets closer to him. 
				
CHEN
Me too, Richard. 
(she also shots here and there)

DAVID
I think we are ready. 
				
RICHARD
Right, David, you go first! Amélia jumps next, followed by Thomas, with Miguel. Then, Chen! 
				
CHEN
No, you go, and I will go after you! 
				
RICHARD
(softly)
 Not time for that, Chen! What I did was out of question, we need you there, ok? I will be right after you. 
				
CHEN does not respond. RICHARD and CHEN's shooting has increased a lot in intensity, as they feel them coming. The monsters. 
				
CUT. 
				
EXT. INT. SAME PLACE. SAME TIME. —  
				
THOMAS is seen in the water. He holds MIGUEL's body very tightly. 
				
THOMAS
RICHARD, CHEN! 
(he shouts, but only RICHARD looks back at him)
 Shoot up! 
				
THOMAS is lost under the gelatinous water. RICHARD complies and starts to shoot up, while CHEN keeps on shooting around. 
				
After sometime, he starts to hear the same sound of bodies falling. It is then he sees a white spot on the roof. He shoots around and around, until the spot detaches from the roof and falls in pieces. 
				
SLOW MOTION, the white pieces fall from the roof, near where CHEN and RICHARD are. Both get frozen by the scene. Without noticing, they stop to shoot. 
				
CHEN
Suzanne...! 
(CLOSE ON a skull on the floor, illuminated by the bonfire)
 Ahhh! 
				
CHEN's scream wakes RICHARD, who sees black things holding CHEN's arms. Without thinking twice, he shots at the things, which look like tentacles. CHEN is free again. 
				
CHEN (CONT'D)
Now, Chen, now, just go! 
				
CHEN does not respond, just gets up and throws herself into the river. RICHARD is still shooting. 
				
SLOW MOTION. RICHARD turns to go to the river and do the same as Chen did, but the tentacles hold his feet. He falls heavily on the floor. He can feel the cold tentacles coming through his body, and he starts to shoot deeply. His shooting increases and increases, all around, until he is able to be loose. Without waiting, HE throws himself into the river. 
				
CUT. 
				
EXT. INT. IN THE RIVER. SAME TIME. —  
				
RICHARD struggles with the gelatinous water and the lack of breathing. Everywhere is dark and then, he sees a blue light. 
				
CUT TO: 
				
CLOSE ON RICHARD, coming out of the river. He is smiling after all the action. 
				
CLOSE ON THE OTHERS, sitting under the blue light. AMÉLIA is crying on CHEN's shoulders. DAVID stares at the opposite side of the river. THOMAS looks down. 
				
RICHARD walks towards them, his smile fading away. He comes closer to THOMAS. 
				
THOMAS
(very silently)
 I am sorry. 
				
RICHARD gets scared. He starts to look around, everywhere. It is then he notices the reality, and he sits beside Thomas. 
				
THOMAS starts to cry. RICHARD holds him and he starts to cry too. 
				
MIGUEL is nowhere. 
				
CLOSE ON the river, and a faded Miguel is there, smiling and waving his hand. 
				
EXT. INT. BLUE CAVE. MORNING, NEXT DAY. —  
				
SERIES OF SHOTS. FLASHBACK of Miguel. RICHARD's stressed face is seen behind all those scenes. 
				
RICHARD wakes up, sweating and scared. In front of him, THOMAS is holding a gun. 
				
RICHARD takes sometime to realise the gun was not pointing at him, but behind him. Soon, the others are also awaken. 
				
RICHARD slowly turns to look behind. He gets the weapon on the way. 
				
Over a big rock, something is there. IT looks like a big snail, and it is clearly staring at them. 
				
But nobody shots this time. The thing is too small to have a weapon. 
				
CHEN
What.. what is it? 
				
THOMAS
Not sure, but it is there for sometime. 
				
RICHARD
Not moving? 
				
THOMAS
Oh, yes, moving well, here and there, but not coming towards us. I decided to wait and see. 
				
RICHARD
It looks harmless to me. Even... friendly. 
				
CHEN
(after snorting)
 Only things friendly here are rocks, water, fruit... 
				
DAVID
I feel the same as Richard. There is something different about that. 
				
AMÃ©LIA
Me too. 
				
RICHARD gets up. 
				
CHEN
Richard, what you are doing? 
				
RICHARD does not respond. Mesmerized, he comes closer to the creature. He smiles even and the creature's face also moves, like it is smiling. 
				
THE CREATURE comes to the edge of the rock and waits. RICHARD looks at him and extends his arm. 
				
THE OTHERS realise too late he is about to touch the creature. 
				
DAVID
(getting up)
 It is not advisable to... 
				
A SCREAM pierces the air in the cave. Richard's scream. 
				
CLOSE ON Richard's body convulsing on the floor. 
				
SERIES OF SHOTS. FLASHBACK of terrible things happened in Hell: Mary's head, Gudrum's body, and many others in rapid sequence. 
				
DAVID tries to touch the creature, but he is scared. THOMAS and CHEN point their guns, but AMÉLIA says (NO SOUND, ONLY LIPS) that they can hurt Richard. 
				
After a few minutes, the scream starts to fade away. CLOSE ON RICHARD crying. 
				
Between sobs, he tries to say something. 
				
CHEN, with her worried face, comes close to him. RICHARD whispers something to her, close his eyes and keeps on sobbing and crying. 
				
THOMAS
Chen, what did he say? 
				
CHEN gets up and comes close to them. He calls them all together in a tight circle. 
				
CHEN
He told me... 
(she looks back at Richard, whose sobbing is decreasing)
 He said, that thing is healing him. 
				
THEY ALL LOOK surprised. It is then that Amélia shows their attention to the same rock: four more of those creatures were there. 
				
CLOSE ON RICHARD, who smiles smoothly, whilst caressing the creature on his arm. 
				
CHEN steps forward, towards the other creatures. 
				
FADE AWAY. 
				
EXT. INT. BLUE CAVE. MORNING, AFTER A FEW DAYS. —  
				
CLOSE ON the arms of the group, all with an almost smiling and joyful creature attached to it. 
				
CHEN absently caresses hers. It is difficult for her to think of them as people, but as David said many times, that is what they were. 
				
THEY ARE in a circle. Food in the centre of the circle, along with the weapons. The river is seen beside the group, who looks very healthy and smiling. 
				
AMÃ©LIA
The only I don't like is that all the time they go for... eating and their things... it is very painful when they come back. 
				
THEY LAUGH, without a reason. Just for laughing. 
				
CLOSE ON RICHARD. SERIES OF SHOTS show other creatures, different in size and shapes, like a big mosaic. 
				
RICHARD
I am more concerned by the fact we are all linked to them and to the others outside the cave. 
(CUT TO the rock, where more creatures are shown)

CHEN
Concerned? That is our salvation. For the first time in more than one year, we start to make sense of why we are here. 
				
RICHARD
Sense? All we have is rumours and rumours. 
				
DAVID
It is INTERNET, Richard. That is what we have. 
				
RICHARD
Creature-net? 
				
THOMAS
Not good. 
				
CHEN
You should improve your jokes, Rich! 
				
RICHARD
You know what is the best part in all of this? Chen calling me Rich again! 
				
CHEN throws a fruit in Richard's face, he catches that. THEY all laugh. 
				
CHEN
OK, what do we know? 
				
SERIES OF SHOTS show how the creatures used to live in their world. How they just appeared here and how they were hunted, killed and devoured by many species, until they were able to catch one of them and link with him. 
				
SERIES OF SHOTS show the way they found Paradise, how the black creatures killed so many of them and they had no solution but go to the water, something the other beings are afraid of for some reason. 
				
SERIES OF SHOTS show the blue cave, a huge cave with everything available, it served like a refugee for them. But still, some of them left and linked with other species, creating a huge network. 
				
AMÃ©LIA
I do miss fresh air... sunshine... this cave is quite... 
				
RICHARD
Blue? 
				
They all laugh. 
				
THOMAS
We know what we already knew, about this planet. These creatures... 
				
RICHARD
PEOPLE! 
				
THOMAS
These people have linked us to several species. Not sure how this works, but it works and we have all the sensations they have. 
				
FLASHBACK. Richard remembers when one of the people was killed, how they all felt. 
				
CHEN
We know there is some kind of purpose of we being here. 
				
DAVID
We won't find any purpose in this blue cave. 
				
RICHARD close his eyes. 
				
RICHARD
I see a strong species nearby. 
(pause)
 They say, well, I think they say, they could get us with them. 
				
CHEN
Do we all agree with leaving the cave? 
				
ALL raised their hands. 
				
THOMAS
What about some of the blues? 
				
CHEN
(mocking annoyed)
 You know how I hate that wayt to talk about them. 
				
RICHARD
I like it. 
				
CHEN
It was your idea! 
(looking at Thomas)
 I think we should leave most of them, but we should carry some, in case we meet some creat... people who are not in the link. 
				
THOMAS
OK, I can carry them. 
				
THEY all get up and start to pack. 
				
FADE AWAY. 
				
EXT. EXT. DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENT FROM LAST SCENE. MORNING. —  
				
AMÃ‰LIA
Parecen conchas... 
(They look like shells)

BEINGS who look like big shells are disposed around the humans. 
				
RICHARD
Nossos primeiros amigos. 
(Our first friends!)

AMÃ©LIA
Second friends. 
(she looks at the "blue" in her arm)

CLOSE ON David who closes his eyes a while. He touches a part of his body and he looks at his blue, shaking his head as saying "DON'T TELL ANYONE!" 
				
FADE AWAY. 
				
EXT. EXT. A CLEARING. MIDDAY. —  
				
SEVERAL BEINGS are in an army formation. THE HUMANS are in the middle of the army. THEY ALL walk with purpose. 
				
CLOSE ON Richard. 
				
RICHARD
It is interesting, they do look like they are protecting us 
				
THOMAS
I think it is the fact that we are helping them in terms of strategy. They don't have that. 
				
AMÃ©LIA
Is it far? 
				
CHEN
(pointing to front)
 Yes, it is in that general direction. 
				
CLOSE ON a terrain formation in front, an object is seeing shining there. 
				
CLOSE ON a different group of monsters, watching the army moving. 
				
FADE AWAY. 
				
EXT. EXT. A HUGE CAMPING WITH MANY SHELTERS IN DIFFERENT WAYS, EXTENDING TOWARDS THE HORIZON. NIGHT. —  
				
CLOSE ON different aliens sleeping. CLOSE ON the remaining humans sleeping deeply. 
				
FROM THE AIR, showing their formation, how humans are sleeping in the middle of the aliens. 
				
BIG EXPLOSION. Immediately, everyone gets a weapon. 
				
VARIOUS SHOTS. Humans and aliens fighting with enemy aliens. 
				
VARIOUS SHOTS. It shows the progress of the moons and the rising of the suns. 
				
CLOSE ON Richard fighting, completely tired. NOISE is much less. 
				
CLOSE ON Amélia, fighting and fighting. Then, she is hurt. 
				
Immediately, ALIENS increase their defense. RICHARD, CHEN, DAVID and THOMAS, in different sites, are shown with a new eagerness. 
				
ENEMIES retreated. RICHARD, CHEN and THOMAS, from different directions are shown going towards some place, through their net, they can easily find Amélia. 
				
AMÉLIA is just lying down. Her eyes are open and she breathes with hardship. 
				
THOMAS kneels first and raise her head a bit, putting a small bag he has under her head. CHEN and RICHARD knell beside them. CHEN gives some water to her, but she chokes and spit it all. 
				
AMÃ‰LIA
Richard, eu vou morrer? 
				
RICHARD
(he pauses and gets closer to her)
 All will be alright. Tudo vai dar certo. 
				
CHEN
You fought, you fought incredibly. I am proud I... I know you. 
				
AMÃ‰LIA
If... if any of you make it back, please, go to my family, their nam... 
(she stoops talking)

RICHARD gets up faster. CLOSE ON his eyes, he is crying openly. He feels the healing from the blue, but he still keeps on crying. HE GOES farther from Amélia and the others. 
				
RICHARD goes on checking on what happened. So many dead - some are being burnt, others have their bodies destroyed by other weapons in little bits and pieces. 
				
RICHARD stops at some part. From here, he can see clearly the shining object towards which all of them are going to. He feels more than hear someone behind him, or perhaps the network has told him that. 
				
CHEN embraces him from behind. She does not say anything, both stay as they are. 
				
CLOSE ON RICHARD and CHEN. 
				
FADE AWAY. 
				
EXT. EXT. SOMEWHERE, CAMPING. MIDDAY. —  
				
SEVERAL SHOTS show the progress of the ally army and the combats with alien army. 
				
CLOSE ON David and his fight. CLOSE ON Richard and Chen. CLOSE ON Thomas, who looks pale, but he is still fighting. 
				
CLOSE ON RICHARD, CHEN AND THOMAS who are fighting a group of aliens. All of a sudden, other allied aliens surround them. 
				
IMAGE IN BACKGROUND. CLOSE ON DAVID, who is hurt in a fight. ALIENS are shown coming for his rescue, but he is stricken again and again. RICHARD, CHEN AND THOMAS run towards David, but they are blocked by the allies. 
				
NO VOICE, they scream, CHEN cries, THOMAS try to fight with his fists with the allies, RICHARD does like THOMAS, but in the background, DAVID is seen dieing. 
				
DAVID's eyes go dead. The image in the background fades away. 
				
RICHARD, CHEN AND THOMAS collapse on the floor. ALLIES step back and let them mourn David. 
				
NO VOICE, THE HUMANS hug and cry together. 
				
EXT. LATER. SAME DAY. —  
				
THOMAS, CHEN AND RICHARD are eating something. At some point, THOMAS look at the others. 
				
THOMAS
He was not well... 
				
RICHARD AND CHEN look back at him, the sadness clear in their faces. 
				
THOMAS (CONT'D)
He knew he did not have much time, even before come... to Hell. 
				
RICHARD AND CHEN do not respond, they just look down. 
				
THOMAS (CONT'D)
And he was not the only one. 
				
THEY ALL look at him, even the allies. 
				
CUT. 
				
EXT. EXT. NEAR A MOUNTAIN. MORNING. —  
				
CLOSE ON CHEN AND RICHARD. They look excited. 
				
CHEN
So, at last we are near the mountain. 
				
They look at a point where there is a natural path, not too broad but enough for their army. And for others' armies. 
				
RICHARD
We can't forget that intelligence says there is... 
(he interrupts and looks scared)

A second later, CHEN also reacts and both of them run. 
				
CLOSE ON several aliens together. They open a way for CHEN AND RICHARD to come into the circle. 
				
CLOSE ON THOMAS on the floor. He is totally pale, he is sweating, eyes closed. 
				
RICHARD (CONT'D)
We have to prepare an hammock and take him away. Chen, 
(he looks at her)
 do you remember some herbs... 
				
CHEN
Can you feel it? All that David knew, the blues... we also know it. Take care of him, help them to make the hammock 
(they see the allies are already doing it)
, I will go for the herbs. 
				
RICHARD helps them to get together the material they will need. But his eyes are still on the way towards the mountain, where the object they want is there. 
				
RICHARD
(whispering)
 Thomas, don't leave us, not now, we need you. 
				
FADE AWAY. 
				
EXT. EXT. OPEN ENVIRONMENT. SUNSET, THE MOONS ARE VISIBLE ALREADY. —  
				
CLOSE ON THOMAS, his body is stiff, his eyes are totally closed. 
				
CLOSE ON THE HORIZON, where the object lays there. 
				
CLOSE ON CHEN AND RICHARD, huddled, crying openly. 
				
AIR VIEW of the area, showing all the aliens, allies and not-allies standing, quiet. 
				
SEVERAL SHOTS show the sadness of the moment. FADED IMAGES IN THE BACKGROUND show Thomas in various moments. 
				
EXT. EXT. OPEN ENVIRONMENT. NIGHT. —  
				
A BONFIRE is lit, Thomas' body is there. No attacks that night, even the enemies know someone worthy is dead. 
				
CLOSE ON CHEN AND RICHARD, who look at each other. The only humans remaining. 
				
CUT. 
				
EXT. INT. SHELTER. EVENING. —  
				
CLOSE ON THE roof of the simple shelter, more like a tent than anything. Some kind of stick runs over the roof, keeping the material there. 
				
LIGHT COMES from the sides, which are partially open, allowing the bonfire to illuminate inside the small shelter. 
				
CHEN is seen sweating profusely. Her eyes are open and she looks like she is having difficulty to breath. 
				
Under her body, a mat is seen, the only thing preventing her (and Richard) to sleep directly on the soil. There is nothing over her body, as the beneficial weather in Hell do not require that. 
				
RICHARD comes in from one of the sides. He looks like he has been running around. 
				
RICHARD
Today's campaign was great, Chen. We were able to open a new front. Little by little we are... 
(he notices Chen)

CLOSE ON CHEN. Her eyes are wide open, staring at him. 
				
RICHARD (CONT'D)
Chen, what is happening? 
(he touches her forehead with the back of her dirty left hand)
 I don't feel any fever. 
				
CHEN
It is... I keep on vomiting. I also feel dizzy, Rich. 
				
CLOSE ON RICHARD, who looks at her very concerned. All of a sudden, he feels something. 
				
FADED IMAGE of a baby is shown. LOUD NOISE is immediately heard outside the shelter. 
				
CLOSE ON RICHARD. His face changes, he is smiling. He looks at his blue and he grasps Chen's left hand with both of his hands. CHEN puts his other hand over. She is also smiling. 
				
RICHARD
A son! 
				
CHEN
Or a daughter! 
				
RICHARD
A child, Chen, what does it matter the gender! Chen, oh Chen! 
(he hugs her, rising her from her mat, closing his eyes and smiling deeply)

CLOSE ON RICHARD. His smile fades slowly. Slowly he gets separated from Chen, who is crying, with a sad face. 
				
HE LOOKS AT HIS BLUE. 
				
RICHARD (CONT'D)
Pit, nobody should know. 
(the noise is very loud outside)
 Same to you. 
(staring at Chen's blue)

CHEN
What are you saying? Everyone knows already! 
				
RICHARD
(crying)
 They don't know... they don't know how awful I feel. To have a child... in Hell. 
				
CHEN
(hugging Richard, she is also crying still)
 I feel like that too. I don't want this baby to go through all of that. 
				
THEY SEPARATE AGAIN. THEY LOOK AT EACH OTHER IN SILENCE. NOISES ARE STILL LOUD, MANY OF THE ALLIES COME AND TOUCH THEIR SHELTER. Richard knows their blues did not tell them what they are going through. 
				
CHEN (CONT'D)
I cannot... I don't... 
				
RICHARD
(stop crying, wiping his tears and trying to smile)
 I... I can't even think about not having the child. I don't know, but we will have to do something. Perhaps, the blue cave. 
				
CHEN
(joyful)
 Yes! The blue cave! 
				
CLOSE ON THEIR HANDS, very tightly closed. 
				
FADE AWAY. 
				
EXT. EXT. CAMP AREA. MIDDAY. —  
				
SEVERAL SHOTS show all the allies preparing themselves for the last campaign, to reach the object which can be seen very close. ENEMIES are also seen surrounding the object. 
				
RICHARD
I am curious why don't they go there and get to the object, take it or whatever we are supposed to do? 
				
CHEN
(a little pause, she looks deeply at him)
 In the... the network. 
(she is busy organizing her few things)
 They found out, with the big sacrifice of one of the blues... 
				
RICHARD
(closing his eyes and shaking his head)
 Right, I remember now... 
				
CHEN
That they believe that object is something like sacred, or at least that is what is making us live in this place. 
				
RICHARD looks at the horizon. The enemies are not even trying to hide themselves, and the object lays there, like just waiting for them to reach to them. 
				
RICHARD
(without looking at Chen)
 Chen, did you think about...? 
				
CHEN
You know I did. 
				
RICHARD
Everyone is worried, Chen. 
				
CHEN pauses a little bit. She moves so that she can look deeply into Richard's eyes. She thinks a little if her son or daughter will have those eyes too, and that makes her smile. SHE HUGS RICHARD, who does not respond to that. 
				
CHEN
Richard, my love, if I go to the blue cave, until when they will find me out? Will I be able to live, knowing you... 
(she does not finish her words)

RICHARD responds to her hug. 
				
SLOWLY, AN AERIAL VIEW is shown, with both armies getting ready for the last battle. 
				
FADE AWAY. 
				
EXT. EXT. AROUND A BONFIRE. EVENING. —  
				
CHEN AND RICHARD are eating something, when they feel it. BOTH look at the side and see different aliens. 
				
CLOSE ON the aliens. They look like two big snakes, but they move by alternating the tip of their tail with some part which would be like their necks. Their color is green, mixed with gray, increasing the feeling of them being snakes. And they are empathic beings, just like the blues. 
				
Their heads differ one of the other, but they lack sight. Still, when CHEN AND RICHARD look at them, they are able to "hear" them. 
				
DI (V.O.)
Hello, we are the DI. 
				
CHEN
Did you hear that? 
(looking at Richard, who nods at it)
 What is the DI? 
(she asks, looking at the new aliens)

SEVERAL SHOTS show the DI as a people with advanced technology and civilization. It shows how they were caught in Hell, just like the others, but due to their type of bodies, they have been able to survive. Their ordeal has been huge as they could not find any weapon or means of protection, like the blues. Only two of them remained out of many. 
				
RICHARD AND CHEN's faces show sadness. Even though they could talk to them in their own minds, they prefer to speak. 
				
RICHARD
Sorry to hear, I mean, to know about it. We also had horrible stories. 
				
DI (V.O.)
She is pregnant... she is pregnant... she must go for protection. 
				
CHEN
I am staying here... 
				
RICHARD
Wait, do you feel? They are talking about each other. The female is pregnant too, just like you, Chen.
(many aliens are around them now)
 Chen, I think they insist with taking you along with them. 
				
DI (V.O.)
It is sacred... all must go. 
(subtly, one of the heads turn to the aliens surrounding them)
 They will take you, you two, there. You should go. 
				
CHEN
No! 
(a little lower)
 No, I am staying. But, yes, you have to go. 
(she points, indicating the pregnant DI)

THE ALIENS MOVE AROUND. At last, they leave, with one of the DI. The other DI comes close to the humans and turn his head towards his mate. 
				
CHEN, RICHARD AND THE DI see the group leaving. It seems they are going at a fast speed. 
				
DI (V.O.)
She will be safe... 
(the head turns to Chen)
 All will be safe... The attack from the enemies will start... NOW! 
				
The last part, the word NOW seemed to be shouted. Immediately, all aliens start to prepare weapons for defense, and enemies get closer. But something else happens. 
				
THE DI extends himself into the soil, covering an area of about 2.5 meters. Then, like an umbrella, it "opens itself". His skin looks very soft, almost yellow, and it turns into a shelter around Richard and Chen. 
				
RICHARD AND CHEN start to try to break from the shelter, but it is very strong. 
				
RICHARD
What is this? 
				
CHEN
(stopping trying to break from the shelter)
 As he said, 'all will be safe'. He is protecting me, Richard. 
				
RICHARD AND CHEN look at each other. 
				
RICHARD
He is dead, Chen. 
				
CHEN
Yes. 
(she sits down, followed by Richard)
 Yes, he is dead. 
				
NOISE OUTSIDE THE SHELTER. 
				
FADE AWAY. 
				
EXT. INT. SHELTER MADE BY THE DI. NIGHT. —  
				
Explosions are heard, screams and lots of noise. 
				
CHEN AND RICHARD hug each other. 
				
SEVERAL SHOTS show the battle, how it is going. MANY SHOTS are directed towards the shelter where Chen and Richard are. 
				
INSIDE THE SHELTER, A FADED IMAGE IS SHOWN and they understand that at some point the tent will collapse. 
				
CHEN AND RICHARD hold their guns and get ready to act as soon as their protection is over. 
				
FADE AWAY. 
				
EXT. INT. SHELTER MADE BY THE DI. NIGHT, CLOSE TO DAWN. —  
				
CHEN AND RICHARD look scared. CLOSE ON Chen's hands, which grabs Richard's. 
				
A BIG NOISE and the tent flies away. 
				
CHEN AND RICHARD shots all over, aiming perfectly with the help of the network. FADED IMAGES of aliens are shown, before they shoot. 
				
They both see the object, shining so much and they come closer and closer. All the allies surround Chen and Richard, who are with their backs together. 
				
They get separated as a flank of allies is destroyed. 
				
CLOSE ON RICHARD, his eyes totally mad in the war, firing all over. 
				
V.O. A HUMAN SCREAM pierces the night. 
				
CUT. 
				
EXT. EXT. OPEN FIELD, NEXT TO SHINING PLACE. ALMOST DAWN. —  
				
RICHARD runs, crossing aliens, until he reaches the place where Chen is. He wonders how far she went, and he kneels over her. Chen has lost her legs profusely. 
				
CLOSE ON RICHARD'S hand. He holds her hand, and her eyes turn to him. ALL NOISE FADES around them. 
				
CHEN
I love you... 
				
CHEN 
				
RICHARD
Chen... 
				
RICHARD (CONT'D)
I know Chen, I know. 
				
The minutes pass around them both. SEVERAL SHOTS OVERLAPPING show aliens fighting the last battle, but RICHARD AND CHEN stay in the same place. 
				
CLOSE ON RICHARD'S hand, when he drops Chen's hand. He puts his hand on his eyes, as he is very tired of everything. 
				
THE NOISE increases its volume. CLOSE ON RICHARD, who looks everywhere around him. Through the lot of aliens, he can see the shining object in front. He grabs his weapon and starts to fire against the enemies, whilst heading towards the object. 
				
The first hit was about 1.5 meters from the object. Richard's left arm flies away. But he keeps firing and running at the same time. 
				
The second hit takes away his right leg. Richard is less than a meter away, the shine of the object illuminating his own face. 
				
The third hit reaches his face. He screams, but the scream does not have a sound. Still, he drags himself, and with all the power remaining in him, he grabs the object. 
				
FADE AWAY. 
				
EXT. INT. DARK ROOM. NO DEFINED TIME. —  
				
V.O. SOUND OF BREATHING. 
				
ALL DARK. ALL IMAGES COME FROM RICHARD'S EYES. 
				
SLOWLY, HE CAN SEE something. He sees his arms. Both of them. 
				
EYES CLOSE. CUT. 
				
EXT. INT. DARK ROOM. SOME TIME LATER. —  
				
RICHARD (V.O.)
Where am I? 
				
V.O. RICHARD COUGHS. HIS TWO ARMS are raised. 
				
RICHARD (V.O.) (CONT'D)
Pit? Where are you? Where am I? What is going on? Why do I feel so different...? 
				
RICHARD STOPS TALKING. ABOVE HIM, Pit's faded image emerges. 
					
PIT IS SHOWN in his own planet. 
				
RICHARD (V.O.) (CONT'D)
So... were we able to cross the portal? 
(pause)
 Yes, great, you are back. So, the others should be back too, right? 
				
THE PREGNANT DI IS SHOWN in her own planet. 
				
RICHARD (V.O.) (CONT'D)
You made it! 
(pause)
 Yes... he was very courageous, we are all proud of him. He would be proud of his son. 
				
SEVERAL FADED IMAGES ARE SHOWN. Richard's face is not shown, but his laughs and sounds are heard as he sees the various aliens. 
				
MIGUEL'S FACE IS SHOWN. He looks old and tired, and he is on Earth! 
				
RICHARD (V.O.) (CONT'D)
MIGUEL! 
				
HIS BODY tries to move, but something is restraining him. He is tired. 
				
RICHARD (V.O.) (CONT'D)
Where am I? 
				
HIS EYES CLOSE AND ALL GETS DARK AGAIN. 
				
CUT. 
				
EXT. INT. DARK ROOM. LONG TIME LATER. —  
				
RICHARD'S EYES open and he sees he is not alone. About FOUR ALIENS of different species are beside him. 
				
SEVERAL SHOTS WITH FADED IMAGES are shown with the four aliens, so Richard learns who they are and what they are doing there. 
				
The intensity of the experience makes him screaming. All aliens leave, but one. 
				
RICHARD looks upon him. He looks like a strange boulder, with no arms or legs. A blue stripe is near the tip, and another one with a distinct clear blue a little bellow. Many holes are everywhere and the boulder shows movement. 
				
WISE
DEKKO... 
				
RICHARD jumps when he hears the voice coming from somewhere from the rock. 
				
WISE (CONT'D)
We call you DEKKO. The victorious one. 
				
RICHARD'S EYES are focused on the alien. It was then, he feels something different. 
				
AN IMAGE IS SHOWN IN FRONT OF HIM. It is a naked man. HIS EYES focus on that. Then, RICHARD SCREAMS - and the image mirrors that. 
				
THE ALIEN LEAVES VERY QUICKLY THROUGH AN INVISIBLE DOOR. 
				
RICHARD looks at his hands and arms and his nakedness. 
				
RICHARD
NO! You changed my body! NO! 
				
CLOSE ON RICHARD'S body, very different than used to be before, stronger clean of any wounds. 
				
FADE AWAY. 
				
EXT. INT. DARK ROOM. SOME TIME LATER. —  
				
CLOSE ON DEKKO, laying down in fetal position, eyes closed. 
				
DEKKO'S EYES open. He gets up and, screaming, launches himself against the walls. He breaks everything and leaves. Nobody prevents him to leave. 
				
OUTSIDE it is night. INSTINCTIVELY he runs and jumps. HIS BODY is shown flying in the sky. 
				
HE LANDS much time later in a jungle. MANY ALIEN ANIMALS are startled by his arrival and flee. DEKKO looks around and at last he lays down and closes his eyes. 
				
FADE AWAY. 
				
EXT. EXT. JUNGLE. DAYS LATER, DAYTIME. —  
				
DEKKO sees his new face in the mirror of a black stone. He does not feel tired, thirsty or hungry, even though he did not sleep, eat or drink. 
				
HIS FACE TURNS TO THE RIGHT SIDE. After a while, a ship is seeing in the horizon. A FADED IMAGE shows him it is the strange alien. 
				
CLOSE ON THE SHIP, which stands by over the floor. After a short while, WISE emerges hovering over the soil. 
				
CAMERA FROM WISE'S POINT OF VIEW. Wise sees Dekko at a distance, sitting under an alien tree. HE FEELS DEKKO'S anger coming like waves, so he stops. 
				
WISE
Dekko! 
(Dekko notices his thick accent)

WISE waits a while, then goes on. 
				
WISE (CONT'D)
I am sorry. We... we never thought that test would be a problem for your people. 
				
DEKKO
(staring at Wise)
 For my people? For God's sake, you send us all there, put us to fight each other, to die... to kill... and you didn't know that was bad? And my body. I WANT MY BODY! 
				
WISE stays calmly on the air. 
				
WISE
Now we know. You see, you are the first one ever to overcome the ordeal. 
(pause)
 About your body, it was beyond repairing. Your body is made out of it, but it does not follow the normal human structure. 
(Wise sees Dekko getting up, his anger even worse)
 It is done, Dekko, you cannot take your body back. 
				
This time, WISE feels a different wave: sorrow. HE HOVERS CLOSER to Dekko. 
				
WISE (CONT'D)
All beings, sentient like you or semi-sentient like that animal that is watching us, 
(CLOSE ON an alien animal)
 is in reality two different entities. One is the body, but there is another one which is pure energy. We were able to reach you, when you crossed the portal that brought you here from Hell, but your body was failing completely. We recovered the energy and we kept it, whilst creating another body. After finishing, the energy was put into the new body, and it accepted it immediately. I am sorry also for that, but there is no way back. 
				
DEKKO closes his eyes in distress. Then, he opens and stares at Wise. 
				
DEKKO
My friends? 
				
WISE
The ordeal was made in such a way that whenever someone would win - and we did expect that would happen long time ago - everyone... alive... would be transported to their own places. 
				
DEKKO
Why am I here then? 
				
WISE hovers closer. DEKKO notices a plate-shaped object under Wise. 
				
WISE
We want to invite you to be a citizen. We will give you a place to live and free access to the whole Vrinat. But, you cannot go back to your place yet. 
				
DEKKO
Why not? 
				
WISE
(after a pause)
 We want to understand more... I want to understand more of what happened there. We had a big war, we were able to overcome that completely and our way to admit new species is testing them in Hell. Now, we will have to change our ways and that only can happen if we understand and find a solution. 
				
DEKKO pauses for sometime. 
				
DEKKO
I accept it. But I want to go to Earth, as soon as it is possible. 
				
WISE
(he sounds like he is smiling)
 Come then, my ship is big enough for we both. 
				
SEVERAL SHOTS are shown, when Dekko is about to board the ship. ALL HUMANS come there in a faded form, and many of the aliens too. 
				
DEKKO looks behind at them, taking leave. THEN, HE LOOKS ahead, to the ship and his new life. 
				
FADE AWAY
