THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL
WRITTRN BY AARON GRACHECK
© COPYRIGHT 2008 ©
INT-Space
We see the Earth-massive in its size as it fills the screen. The sun is reflecting off the water below.
Then, we follow something coming in really fast.
It’s on fire as it enters the hot atmosphere; we see it almost as it is boiling.
CONT-NASA
We see all the satellite maps and one in particular on a guy’s screen shows a red dot and a target symbol.
Guy
Hey-boss, come here!
The boss walks over to the screen, obviously an intruder of some kind.
Boss
Alert the military! We’ve got something from space-consider it an attack. Get every known unit as a response system! Go!
INT-Military Base-Evening
Men go outside with large guns and tanks as they see the object in the sky, however, it has a BRIGHT white glare because of the sun reflecting on it.
The men take a closer look at it, it’s headed west, and it’s coming fast.
General
It’s going to Horse Town-some surprise there!
We see it go out of view as we now follow the object; it crashes in some corn fields.
EXT-Night-country-Later
We see tall crop on a dirt country road at night, the moon is out, we see headlights of a truck approach as…
Were inside the car, a farmer, HENRY PLANE, 60’s, is driving.
We see him in the usual farmer outfit: John Deere hat, and blue overalls with a striped red T-shirt underneath.
His radio dies down.
After trying to tune it a few times, he bangs on the radio itself.
Henry
Damn radio!
He stops his car at a crop field. The crops are so tall that they are well over his car.
He closes the truck door, and looks at the crops, squinting his eyes. He goes to the back of the truck, gets out a flashlight out of his toolbox, shuts the tool box, and walks over to the crops.
He reaches them, the flashlight turned on as he brushes the crops out of the way with his hands.
We hear movement to the right as Henry moves the flashlight towards the sound.
Nothing
He continues walking and finds it to be eerily quiet.
He stops, look for a way to walk.
He then, sees something, a red light.
Henry
What the?
He walks over to where he thinks it is, and then he notices the red light is now where he just walked.
Henry then calls Horse Town communications network.
Or at least he tries to.
When he can’t get a signal, he throws his radio down, and picks it up, to notice the light is now blue.
He moves his head in confusion, he walks towards something, he shines the light there quickly, but it’s just a hole.
He hears his engine die from the truck.
He tries running towards the truck but he can’t find it.
He runs around, and around, and around, only to find he is back where he started.
Henry
I should’ve taken a shotgun.
He walks towards a glow of some sort, and then his flashlight mysteriously turns off, as if the energy is sucked from it.
He then notices a bunch of crop circles destroyed, and sees a light.
He walks towards it, putting his hand over his mouth, seeing a red and blue dim light at the bottom, a ship on the ground.
A man emerges from the smoke
Henry runs and runs and runs. Looking back at the object, and then, finding his car.
He hops in it, tries to turn it on but it just sputters.
Then he sees a huge red glare in the crop circles.
His eyes grow wide.
EXT-same location-afternoon
The next day, tons of investigators investigate the scene.
Henry’s car is gone, but no Henry.
MIKE JOHNSON, 30’s, investigator
MIKE
Henry’s car, but no Henry
Rookie DONNA is by his side, it is sunny out
Donna
How do you know his name?
Mike
When you’ve lived in Horse town for a few years, you get to know him, he is really famous here.
Donna
Is it true?
She puts white gloves on.
Mike
Is what true?
Donna
The stories about Horse Town being the most active UFO spot on Earth.
Mike
When you’ve lived here for a few months, you won’t have to ask me again.
Donna
Why?
He looks at her and stops.
Mike
Because you’ll know the answer
He walks away and she looks down.
EXT-CIA Investigation Unit
Mike talks to Scott
Scott, 20’s, tall, brown hair
Scott
It’s never been solved as to why Horse Town experiences so much activity. Maybe it sits in a radioactive spot?
Mike
If I were an alien, what would I want with a small town in Alabama?
Scott
Read this letter.
Mike holds a crumbled up yellow page letter.
Mike
What’s this?
Scott
A paper from the 1800’s about UFO’s.
Mike
How did YOU get hold of this? Raid a small house?
Scott
Actually…….Yes, Henry went missing and we found letters from his basement, though it looked like it had been inhabited recently.
Mike thinks hard.
Mike
Find Henry, if he knows anything about this, get his ass down here.
Scott
Yes sir.
Mike takes a hard look at the paper.
INT-Henry’s house
Scott closes the door and we see him walk towards a dusty old house, a very old house. He knocks on the door.
A little boy comes out.
He cracks the door just incase it’s somebody like a robber.
Weak voice
Little Boy
Um…..yes?
Scott
Hi, my name is Scott
Ronaldson is your mother or guardian here by any chance.
His mother opens the door; a beautiful woman comes out, telling the boy to go back to the TV
Scott sees her striking beauty, but finds words.
Scott
Hi are you Sharon Plane, Henry’s daughter?
Sharon is blonde, tall, smart
Sharon
Yes.
Scott
CIA ma’am
Sharon
Oh-did he steak from McDonald’s again?!
Scott
No, no. We just…found….uh, something you may be aware of.
He hands her the paper from a few minutes ago.
She breaks down and cries.
Scott
Uh..i’m sorry if it’s bad, I didn’t know. But what I MUST know is who wrote the letter?
Sharon
My grandmother did, when she was a little girl.
Scott
That information is vital; we need to know if it warns of something.
Sharon
It talks about the UFO’s here for Horse Town
Scott
What about the rest of the paper?
Sharon
It’s a secret.
She closes the door on him.
CONT-Inside the house
The little boy, BILLY, is watching TV, it is dark in the house, the blinds are closed, and she runs to the basement.
She opens the door, it closes and creaks behind her, she sets the paper down on the desk.
A beam of sunlight reaches on the wooden desk, with the lamp off, we see HENRY sitting there sleeping, math problems all around him.
EXT-CIA
Scott runs into Mike’s office.
Scott
Mike-hey, I went to the house.
Mike
And?
Scott
I don’t know-they are being very secretive about this.
Mike sets his hand on the desk.
Mike
They know something we don’t. They obviously know why this is occurring, but not saying anything. Everything ties back to them, did the girl say anything to you-anything we should know about.
Scott
I asked her about the paper and she said it was a family secret.
Mike
They know exactly we they are here. Did you do a family check up?
Scott
Well, yes, and nothing, everything just disappeared.
Mike
Find out why these things are here, please.
Scott
From who?
Mike
Bring the girl into protective custody, send her here.
INT-Henry’s house
Henry opens the blinds from an upstairs window, watching Sharon being taken by the cops; she looks up at him, tears in her eyes.
He quickly goes to grab the BIBLE, flipping to: THE BOOK OF REVEALATIONS
INT-Interrogation
Sharon sits with a tissue, watery eyes; she holds a tissue in her right hand.
Mike comes in, and sits down.
Mike
Good afternoon
She doesn’t talk.
Mike
No answer. Well, guess I have to play tough guy now. What do you know?
Sharon
It’s a family secret, I’m not telling you.
Mike
This is crucial here. I mean, what’s more important, keeping your secret or telling it to the world.
She then shakes uncontrollably, the tears weld up in her eyes, and she yells.
Sharon
DON’T HURT THEM!!
She then continues crying, Mike has an expression on his face like a sarcastic “yeah”.
Mike
We just want to know why there here, and if there here.
Sharon
I’m not telling you! You’re going to hurt them if I tell you where they are, I’m no traitor, so I won’t. Maybe they are here to protect us, ever thought of that?
Mike
I’m just here to do my job, miss.
We just want to know where they are. And we would like to know why they’ve stayed for over 100 years.
Sharon suddenly looks at him, knowing he made a reference to the letter.
Mike
Look, I need an answer.
Sharon
They don’t want to hurt anyone!!
Mike
Then why have they?!
Sharon
Because people like you didn’t listen!! You don’t even know what aliens are, or why they are here.
Mike
I can always ask one.
Sharon
I won’t tell you.
Mike
Fine.
INT-jets-evening
Jets fly over the plains on there farm, looking for evidence.
As they fly low, the grass reacts to the wind; the jets go upward, seeing something.
Pilot
Hey! See that down there-what is that!
Just then, BOOM!!
He got shot at by something, he crashes into the ground.
An army of jets come, some sharing the same fate.
Then we see what it was: GORT.
Gort is a gigantic robot.
One jet flies into his hand, he crushes it, and tosses it aside as it lands on the ground, spinning
Then, we see the space ship, just sitting there, now it turns night.
The ships motors start, and out steps someone: KLAATO.
He walks out of the ship; the jets are no longer there.
KLAATO
I don’t need protection right now Gort.
Gort shuts off, now standing by the ship; Klaato walks towards the Plane’s house.
Knock, Knock, Knock!
Henry opens the door, Klaato looks at him, and Henry quickly gets him inside, down to the basement and locks it up.
Billy doesn’t think anything of it, and goes back to watching the TV.
Klaato sits in a chair, Henry looks out the window that normal basements have, and he tries his best to cover it up.
Henry shows Klaato some math.
Henry
I didn’t know you were here until the other night.
Klaato
I meant you no harm.
Henry
I know-it just threw my off guard, please tell me it’s not time yet.
Klaato
It is time.
Henry
Please just give us a few more years.
Klaato
I do not control the time in which this happens.
Henry looks down.
Henry
How long do we have?
Klaato
YOU don’t have enough time.
Henry
All this time you’ve been causing this over the world! Roswell! Area 51!
Klaato
We were trying to warn you.
Henry
Warn us of what?
Klaato
I can’t say.
Henry
You need to get out of here! If they find out that you’re hiding in my house they—they’ll just kill you.
Klaato
They won’t have time to find me.
Henry
They already suspect something to be here!!!
Klaato
I’m sorry we have to do this.
Henry
But we can make peace!!
Klaato
It is out of my power to change prophecy.
Henry
I’m warning you that they will kill me if they find out that we’ve known about this for over 100 years!!
Klaato
They won’t have time.
Henry
When does it all begin?
Klaato
When it needs to
Henry tries to offer him something to drink
Henry
Would you like me to go get some orange juice?
Klaato
That would be nice.
Henry leaves, as he goes out the door, Billy is in the doorway looking at Klaato, Klaato looking at Billy.
Henry comes back with the orange juice, he looks the basement door, and the lamp light is on. Klaato sets the orange juice down on the table.
Henry
How long did we have to know about this?
Klaato
Over 100 years. We’ve left crop circles, messages, and Roswell.
Henry
Was Roswell a suicide mission?
Klaato looks a little emotional, but soon shakes it off.
Klaato
I would rather not talk about it.
Henry
I think we both share the same belief of not turning you into the CIA.
Klaato
They would just harm us.
Henry
If you come in peace, then why do you intend to hurt the human race?
Klaato
I have no other choice.
Henry
What about my grandson?
Henry tears up
Henry
Is he going to be alright when it happens?
Klaato
As long as he doesn’t interfere
Henry
So you guys aren’t nice.
Klaato
I have to take my place in the end of time.
Henry
How would you know about all of this??
Klaato looks down
Klaato
It’s hard to understand.
Henry suddenly asks a question.
Henry
Is the end going to be like we’ve portrayed?
Klaato
Do you mean in religious terms or no?
Henry
Both.
Klaato
Revelations already explained it to you.
Henry
Will it be like any alien invasion we have though of?
Klaato
We have already invaded.
Henry
THEN HOW BAD WILL IT BE?!
Klaato
Bad? It will be much worse than bad. But you’re a man of faith; you should have nothing to fear.
Klaato remembers something
Klaato
Your daughter was brought into protective custody earlier today. Did she ever say anything?
Henry
She wouldn’t dare rat you out. Will you harm our military?
Klaato
Only if they try to harm us, then, yes-yes I will.
Henry gulps
Henry
Sharon’s husband is in the military.
Klaato looks like his feels compassion, but he doesn’t show it.
Klaato
The military will no longer be needed. We shut down their systems later on tonight.
Henry
Are you crazy!?
Klaato
No, I’m just doing my job.
Henry
Just tell me her husband Matt will be ok.
Klaato
I can’t make that promise.
Henry cries.
Klaato
I’m sorry, but there is nothing you can do.
Henry
Yes, yes there is.
EXT-Bar
People watch in a bar TV as Fox News anchor Bill O’Reily comes on.
Super: BREAKING NEWS
Bill O’reily
Well tonight we have some surprising news, ranging from odd UFO encounters and eye witness in Horse Town, to the U.S. Naval Base experiencing technical difficulties. Could the encounter there, have some effect the Naval academy?
EXT-U.S Naval Air Base
It’s evening, but there are some dark clouds, making the lights on the planes and the buildings very visible.
INT-Inside Base
Tons of people work telecommunicates, talking to pilots.
The lights flicker.
INT-Jet
Inside the jet goes dark and since it’s cloudy out he can’t see
Pilot
I can’t see! I can’t see help now!
Officer (O.S) V.O)
I’m trying, but our power is flickering and we---
They lose communication as the power reboots.
INT-Jet
We see the naval jet spiraling and spinning out of control, it tries to land on the runway but when it does it bounces and explodes, rolling a few times.
As we hear the flames burning, rain comes down.
We hear words from the radio get sputter and die down by the rain.
Radio
Woo….woo…...woo…g
Then it fries, we see smoke coming out of it.
EXT-Sharon
Sharon watches from prison, crying because she is confused, and because she hopes it’s not her husband.
EXT-Henry
Henry now looks at Klaato, who has one heck of a serious loom on his face.
Henry
I can’t believe you just did that!?
Klaato
I had no other choice.
Henry
Her husband might have been on that thing!!!!
Klaato
He wasn’t on it.
Henry
How can you say you’re assisting God in Armageddon when you just killed one of his creatures!!
Klaato
I have said this before: I had no other choice.
Henry pushes Klaato out of anger, but he does not move.
Henry
You are not protecting us!!!
Klaato
We only protect the ones we are assigned to protect.
Henry
So you’re assigned to me!? What if I disagree and walk out on you! Then what!?
Klaato
Then you give me a right to kill you.
Henry
Just me?
Klaato
Are you in charge of the family?
Henry
Yes.
Klaato
Then you put them in danger too, if you decide to walk out.
Henry puts his hands behind his head, not knowing what to do.
Klaato walks out of the doorway, and suddenly Henry doesn’t have that much respect for him, but he does ask him a question that puts him on the spot, right in front of Billy, who is watching TV still.
Henry
So you would kill Matt if you had to?!
After a long pause
Klaato
Yes.
Billy tries to punch Klaato, but Klaato catches his punch and gently sets his arm back down.
Klaato walks out of the door.
We hear a click of a gun.
Klaato stops, freezes, and turns around only to see Henry pointing a gun at Klaato
Henry
Don’t do this!
Klaato
This is what I was born to do.
Henry
If you do this I will kill you!!!
Klaato
You can try to shoot me, and see how that works out for you.
BOOM!!
We hear a gun shot and the bullet we see spiraling towards Klaato’s head, but it stops suddenly, and melts to the floor.
Klaato turns around, and then walks out of the house.
Henry breaks down and cries, then looks up towards Heaven.
Klaato walks out into the pasture.
The pasture is all grass with way out in the front begins the crop circles.
It is evening.
Klaato walks all the way out towards Gort, and Gort gets up and follows Klaato back to the space ship.
Klaato gives one look back, and then gets in the ship.
Henry cries, and then wipes his tears; he gets in his truck, and leaves Billy behind.
Billy watches his grandfather leave as he bawls up on the coach and cries, scared for his life. He is at home, alone, with aliens on the property.
Henry races towards the spaceship.
He has an angry loom on his face.
He then remembers Sharon in the CIA Prison, so he heads over there.
He gets out, armored trucks and guards are outside, and they then pull a struggling and kicking Henry to the ground.
They cuff him, and bring him in.
INT- Interrogation Room
They bring him in the room, but before that the door buzzes, and they sit him down, guarding the room. One guard heads over to Scott and Mike’s office, which are getting ready to go home for the day.
Guard
Sir, look what Santa brought us.
He points towards Henry, and mike and Scott drop their stuff, smile at each other and run toward the door.
BUZZ!
The interrogation room’s door opens, now 20 guards man it alone.
Mike and Scott sit, Henry staring at them.
Mike
You can’t run anymore Henry.
Henry
I don’t want to.
Scott
Then tell us what’s going on here. This is a crisis situation.
Henry
We can’t stop it, we’re all doomed.
Scott puts out a tape recorder.
Scott
Henry, listen to me if you want to save yourself from going to jail, tell us everything right now.
Henry remembers the threat Klaato gave him, that if he told; Henry and his family would not be protected in Armageddon.
Henry
If I tell-my family and I will be subject to die in—
He stops himself just before he says it.
Mike caught it though.
Mike
What are you talking about? We promise you’ll be fine.
Henry thinks in his mind back to the 1800’s about what inspired his mother to write the letter.
IN HENRY’S MIND: a flashback to the 1800’s a UFO touches down, Henry’s mother SANDRA runs away, locks a door and writes.
Present day: Henry contemplates whether he should tell.
Mike signals some men and through the glass Henry sees Sharon being transported to solitary.
Henry
We will do it if you don’t tell.
Henry looks at Sharon mouth the word “no”, as in don’t tell.
Scott
Do you have the letter?
Henry then realizes he left it at home.
Henry
Oh…oh no.
Mike
What?
Henry
The letter is at home…with HIM
Scott
Tell us!
Henry comes to a decision after a while of thinking.
Henry
Ok…fine I’ll tell.
We see someone who is shocked: Klaato
He watches from the window in the hallway, we see a CIA badge on him.
Some men know he’s fake and try to arrest him but he takes his hand and shoves it half-way into their forehead, freezing them. As he walks away, the man falls to the ground.
Some men rush over to him, some shoot a moving Klaato, but the bullets bounce off.
Klaato walks out of the building, Gort isn’t there, so Klaato rides on a bus.
In the bus, he looks at the people, realizing the ones he will save and the ones he won’t.
EXT-CIA Interrogation Room
Henry talks, Scott and Mike listen
Henry
Their here for…..Armageddon
Scott is in shock and Mike is speechless
Henry then makes a break for it, opening the door and running out of the place.
Guards chase after him as he gets in his truck, and drives away, police cars following him.
He drives faster and faster down the dirt roads the cop cars finding it hard to chase him.
INT-Henry’s Farm
He stops the truck at his house; he bursts into the door, looking around for Billy.
The TV is on, the radio in the distance playing oldies.
He checks the basement; nope he is not in there.
He goes upstairs; it’s now on the verge of night outside.
The lights are dim in the upstairs hallway, only adding to the eeriness.
He pushes every door open, each one creaking.
He turns to see an alien in a human form standing at the end of the hallway, he blinks his eyes and he is gone.
He runs into a room and checks a window; he sees a flying-saucer, a HUGE flying saucer getting ready to take off, or something else.
Billy walks towards it.
Henry suddenly runs out of the room and bursts out of the door.
Klaato is on the porch, Henry sees him
Henry
STOP HIM!!!
Klaato
I can’t.
Henry
Why not?!
Klaato
You told the CIA on us.
Henry
I had no other choice. You don’t understand!
Klaato
I warned you of this unprotect ion if you disobeyed; now, I have to begin even sooner.
Henry
No!! Stop it!!
Police cars come onto the property, Henry looks at Klaato walk on the pasture like it’s nothing.
Police get out of their cars.
They shoot at him but Klaato freezes them and the bullets in time.
He walks towards Gort who is rising.
Henry
You used that to your advantage!!
Klaato walks on.
EXT-New York City
Saucers are over New York City.
People get out of their cars, some run.
Kid
Mommy, look!
She grabs her son and runs away.
She runs past a church to which a priest walks out.
It’s now night and he runs to get his bible.
The red lights of the saucers move, now, the saucers stop in mid-air.
People stop running, but they still back away.
EXT-NASA
NASA is now receiving a video of different short videos of aliens in every day life, they look astonished.
EXT-Chapel
The priest looks in the bible to find the words Armageddon, Revelations, and antichrist
He takes a piece of paper with a pencil, writes an “A” from Armageddon. He writes an “L” form Revelations. An “I” from antichrist, and he pauses.
He looks at what he has so far: ALI
He writes an “E” from Revelations, an “N” from Armageddon, and an “S” from Revelations.
He looks at the full word: ALIENS
He realizes it was a message, he begins to cry, and looks at the cross.
EXT-Outside
The saucers still stay in mid air. A red glow is around the rim underneath them, but not coming out of them.
The priest runs outside, looking at the saucers and carrying a cross in his hand. He moves it as though performing an exorcism.
He runs inside and grabs a phone, and dials a number.
INT-Henry
Is phone rings as we realize the priest called him.
Henry
Hello!?
Priest
Yes! Henry? It’s me-Don.
Henry
Yeah-not a good time!
Priest
I found the word aliens with the end time reference you were trying to find!
Henry is shocked but he continues running.
Priest
Pray that you get saved.
Don hangs up; Henry throws the phone to go get Billy.
Billy walks towards the space ship, Henry chases after him but a car stops right in front of him, he has to come to a halt.
Gort rises up; police aim their guns at him.
Officer
Hey! Hey go get that kid!
As an officer runs to go get Billy, Klaato sticks his hand in the guys chest, the guy falls to the ground.
EXT-prison
Sharon is locked up in her cell.
She bangs on the cell doors and starts crying, nobody is around as the lights flicker.
She hears a door open…….
It creaks; she backs up in the cell corner.
Sharon
Hello?
She hears nothing
Sharon
Who’s there!!!?
Just then, Billy appears into view, she is glad to see him, he unlocks the cell and she hugs him.
He goes into her cell, mean look on his face.
She backs up in a corner.
Sharon
…Billy?
His head then turns into an aliens head, Sharon screams.
EXT-New York City
Police choppers roam the skies, trying to get a close up of the UFO’s.
They just stand there in mid air, almost like they are waiting for a command.
INT-Henry’ Farm
Henry is still caught behind the cry, which he tries to run towards Billy, but the cops hold him back for safety.
Klaato is still being shot at; the bullets bounce of as he then turns around, the bullets bouncing of his face.
He sticks his left hand out in mid air while bullets come; his hand shakes and the bullets disintegrate.
The cops flee back to their cars.
Cop
I need backup!
He shouts at Klaato
Cop
No hostile activity will be required!!!
Klaato turns around.
Klaato
It’s a little late to warn me.
Henry gets out of the cops grip and runs toward Klaato
Henry
Klaato!!!
Klaato turns around and listens
Henry
Please, don’t do this. I thought you were trying to do us a favor.
Klaato
I warned you that if you became a traitor to us, you would no longer be protected.
Henry
You don’t understand!!
Klaato
You told our plan. You traded us in, this wasn’t supposed to be found out.
Henry
Listen to me!
Klaato
The rules were that if our plan ever got discovered, we have to act quickly and with force, or else you will.
Henry
Me?
Klaato
No-your species
Henry
God won’t allow this!
Klaato
He is.
Henry
Klaato, come inside, maybe we can reason with you!!
Klaato listens, and he walks back in the basement with Henry, and cops stand in the doorway.
INt-Overhead
Over the house, police helicopters fly, noticing all the cop cars with the blinking lights.
Gort stands monition less.
The cops get out of the helicopters, and run towards Gort.
EXT-Basement
Klaato is sitting down.
Officer
Please, stop this.
Klaato
I cannot, Earth has had plenty of opportunities for people to straighten things out.
Henry
Klaato, you don’t understand what they would’ve done to my family!!!
Klaato
But you understood what I would’ve done.
Police
Don’t use deadly force and maybe we can come to an agreement!!!
Klaato
I have been given orders.
Henry
They were going to find out the secret of the letter anyway!!!
Klaato
You didn’t even know the secret.
Henry
I had an idea.
Klaato
Over 100 years ago, I came in contact with your mother. She wrote the letter so her future family members would not tell on us.
Henry
But I didn’t know!
Klaato
You said you had an idea.
Police
What have you done with the boy?
Klaato
What have YOU done with him? Seems you forgot about him.
Some officers run out of the house, flashlights searching for Billy.
Henry stands up, looking out of the basement doorway.
Klaato emerges and some officers try to hold him back, but he cuts off their air, and they fall to the ground.
Henry steps over them and runs in front of him.
Henry
You’re being ruthless!
Klaato
Your species has been ruthless.
Klaato is stopped by Henry, Klaato turns around as Henry tries to hit him with a frying pan, the pan melts a little, and Klaato throws it against the stove, Henry ducks as the frying pan makes a huge dent in the wall an the top of the stove.
Tons of officers come for Klaato’s arrest, surrounding him.
One officer points a gun right at his head.
Klaato
You don’t want to test me.
The officer cocks the gun, but klaato bends and smashes it, the bullets are forces into flat pieces of lead.
The officer stares at the gun as Klaato pushes his way through some officers.
But more surround him.
EXT-Fields-Night
Some cops run after Billy as he walks towards the big blue glow on the ground.
Gort doesn’t wake up yet.
Billy walks towards it with awe.
Somebody attempts to push Klaato, this wake Gort up.
We see eye activate, a piercing orange light comes on, and Billy stops as he sees this.
The cops also stop, some back up, some point assault rifles at Gort.
Mike steps out of a vehicle, and goes into the forest.
He sees the blue glow, a huge light as he keeps walking.
SMASH!!
Mike falls and slides down as Gorts gigantic right foot stomps right in front of him, smashing trees and sending some dust.
He crawls up on Gorts foot.
He begins trying to crawl up Gort.
Mike looks up, Gort looks down
Mike looks down at the ground, come police cars coming right by Gorts foot.
Mike
What are you crazy!!??
Police
Mike, get down from there-you’re crazy.
Mike begins talking as Gort sends a laser beam down at Mike; some of Gorts foot catches fire but dies down, a small explosion in front of the cops.
But Mike falls to the ground, burnt and shriveled up.
The police officers attempt to run back as Gort starts walking out of the forest.
The cop running out of the forest grabs Billy and put him on his shoulder, Billy looks back at Gort who is still walking.
Bullets being fired at him dent and bounce off him.
INT-Henry’s House
Klaato looks at this scene, officers surrounding him, Henry talking.
Henry
Can’t you stop him!!!
Henry was inferring to Gort.
Klaato
I can. But he is coming here to protect me. And so we can begin leaving.
Henry looks around at the cops as they think he means leaving Earth.
Henry
You’re going to leave Earth?!
Klaato
No- I meant the farm.
Klaato steps into the front yard as Henry and the cops start shouting.
Gort crushes the grass with every step.
Klaato waits for Gort, who from a angle that we have behind Klaato, Gort looks humongous.
The cops look at it comes straight towards the house as they begin running away.
Klaato sees Billy being placed in Henry’s arms.
Klaato walks over towards Henry
Henry
You can’t take him.
Klaato
He is one we need to save.
Klaato takes Billy out of Henry’s hands, Henry and cops try to save Billy, But Klaato puts a force field around him and Gort, Gort bending down to get Billy.
Henry tries to force his way through the shield but obviously he can’t.
The force field follows them as they walk toward the space ship.
They begin reaching the shop.
EXT-House
A kid watches TV, his mother comes by.
Kid
Look mommy!
She looks at the TV, and sees Gort, Klaato, and Billy in the force field.
The mother puts her hands over her mouth.
Kid
I told you I wasn’t crazy!
EXT-Henry’s Farm
Helicopters fly by as we see the glowing force field below.
INT-Inside Force Field
Klaato holds Billy in his hands as they walk towards the space ship.
EXT-Henry
Henry and the cops stare at this.
Henry
Come on chase them!!
Henry and the cops get in a cop car, chasing the force field
INT-Overhead Shot
An overhead shot of the car chasing the moving force field on its right side, but not directly close to it.
They begin shooting at the force field, the bullets bounce off, butt they also dent the force field.
Klaato sees, Gort fires a laser at the car, the tire catches fire butt he keep going.
They arrive at the space ship, the shield suddenly shutting off, and the cop car that the cops and Henry are in almost runs into a tree because they don’t have a lot of light now.
Henry gets out of the car, but stays as he watches them disappear on the ship, and he watches Gort Stomps on the trees as the ship rises.
A blue light glows, and it rises up and begins flying away, Gort turning towards that direction and following it as he walks.
Henry
Oh my---follow them!!!
All the police cars follow Gort as the space ship already took off, Gort walks over a hill.
EXT-New York City-hours later-night
As the UFO that Klaato and Billy are in arrive in the New York skies, we see the same cops from before, and Henry in a plane that followed Gort.
Gort stops in the middle of a busy highway, people run out of their cars and run away.
Klaato’s UFO is now in the sky by the other UFO’s we saw before.
A man looks up as we hear an annoying sound, almost like a blow horn, as all the other UFO’s activate.
Some of their lights turn on, and we see Klaato look out of a window
Henry’s plane lands and he gets out, running in the road where some honking cars swerve, just missing him.
Hundreds of UFO’s flood the sky, Klaato’s UFO has a blue light under it where as all the other ones have a red light underneath.
Klaato’s UFO begins landing as most people on the sidewalks run away fast and frantically
It is almost touching down in the middle of the street.
We see a full image of Gort as the UFO looks small beside him as it floats down.
Cops begin pointing their guns toward this, some units rush in with their police cars, sirens on and lights flashing, getting out and pointing their guns at the ship.
Klaato’s UFO touches down in the middle of the street.
Police have their guns pointed toward it ferociously; one cocks his gun as we zoom in on it.
Gort looks down at the space ship.
The sip lands and cops have their guns pointed directly at it.
Police
Do Not Move!!
Gort sees this as a threat and shoots a laser down towards the cop, creating an explosion.
More cops wait right by the UFO
Some wait with rocket launchers.
Every thing is silent, until Klaato emerges from the ship
Nobody fires at him though.
He walks out, looks up into the sky at the other UFO’s, and Henry looks for Billy.
He walks up to Klaato
Henry
Where is Billy?
Billy is behind Klaato, Henry tries to rush over to him.
Henry suddenly bounces off something-again, the shield.
The force field is around Klaato and Billy, Klaato does this so no one can shoot him.
The force field flies up towards the other UFO’s
INT-Overhead
As we see the blue glow of the force field flying upward, jets fly around it and the force field lands on a UFO
Klaato steps out of the force field.
Billy won’t come near him.
Klaato
Your one of the ones I need to save.
Billy
What about Grandpa?
Klaato takes a long pause.
Klaato
I don’t know.
All the other UFO’s activate with the red lights, Klaato looks around at them.
Billy sees this too.
Billy
Please don’t do this to us!
Klaato
I have to do, what I have to do.
Billy looks at Klaato
Billy
Well I—
He falls as he backs up to much.
We see him fall, screaming as he reaches out his hand towards Klaato.
Klaato does not help him; he looks as he is falling closer towards the city.
Buildings getting bigger
Henry looks up and sees him falling.
Henry
Hey! Wait-someone do something!
Billy falls as the helicopters come towards him trying to get him to reach the rope.
Got it! He reaches the rope but the force of the stopped fall makes the helicopter spin around and around, Billy spins around, awful close to the blades.
Police officers try to do anything they can to save him.
As the chopper crashes into a building, exploding, Billy launches off the chopper.
He flies in mid air towards the ground.
Gort activates and catches him.
Henry is relieved.
Gort sets Billy down to Henry; Henry grabs him tighter than he ever did.
Henry
Don’t you dare do that ever again
Henry hugs him tight
Billy
Grandpa that was just like a movie!!
As they hug, everyone hears a rumble.
Police
What is that?
They see the ground shake
Henry
Are those…utility pipes?
Gort walks away, Henry chases after….
BOOM!!!
The water now rips from the ground, creating a huge wall of water coming right at them.
Every one runs as the water now comes down.
It crashes, most things obliterated as it comes in the street.
CONT-Streets
A man on another street in a car waits at a red light; in the rear view mirror he sees the water
Man
Holy crap!!
He starts the car anyway, he floors it and into the intersection he goes, except, his car is totally consumed by water, flipping a few times, then out of view.
INT-Henry
Henry runs with Billy as the water comes faster now, people get consumed, and go under the water.
Gort then leans down to protect them, the water Zaps past him, going at incredible speeds, but he blocks most of it.
EXT-Outer Space
The space Station emerges, an astronaut is outside fixing a tube, then looks back at the Earth, the massive Earth and he looks closely, he sees water rising slowly on continents. Of course, it’s really rising fast.
INT-Africa
We see jungles being washed away with water.
EXT-Hong Kong
The water crashes and kills people, annihilating buildings and everything in its path.
INT-Henry
As Henry is with Billy and Gort, who because of Gort’s massive size are well above the water, but it rises.
Henry notices something, he takes out his phone.
Henry talking to himself before the priest answers.
Henry
Their going to flood the Earth…….
INT-Henry’s Farm
The priest is in Henry’s basement, looking up bible quotes and references as the phone ringing startles him.
He picks it up.
Priest
Hello!?
Henry (V.O.)
It’s me!
Priest
Are you still in New York?!
Henry (V.O.)
Yes! But I’ve come to a realization about how this is going to end.
The priest looks out the window
Priest
How?
Henry (V.O.)
Look out the window, if you’re at the farm.
He looks out the basement window, he sees trees being swallowed up and the water coming at an incredibly fast pace
Priest
Oh my…….
He is shocked.
Henry (V.O)
Listen, if I don’t make it back and Sharon is there…..tell her I love her.
Priest
Sharon….never came home.
Henry
Any ideas on where she is?
Priest
Henry…
The priest realizes that he is in trouble; the water comes at full force towards the house
Priest
…I’ll go try to save her!
Click, dial tone.
Henry puts the cell phone in his pocket.
A massive plane comes by, a helicopter transports Billy and Henry into the plane, and tons of people are on it. It’s a plane with only two seats on the either side. It is near full.
People scream and holler as the mayor tries to cal them down
Mayor
Everything that is trying to be done is being done!!
People holler in disagreement
Henry
Their going to flood the earth!!
An angry “Yeah!” arises from everyone
Klaato then emerges In the back of the plane. The back of the plane is open.
Klaato
I’m sorry, but I cannot let this plane live.
As soon as he touches the side of the plane, the power goes out and it spirals out of control, people falling out of the plane.
But as soon as Henry and Billy start to fall, he creates a force field on the back of the plane, leaving it there and saving them.
He goes to the cockpit, and gets in the seat to fly the plane.
He saves it just as it is going into the water.
Billy then walks up to Klaato, with Henry
Henry
Why are you doing this!
Klaato
I have orders.
Billy then looks as the plane flies by the UFO’s
The Earth is flooding immensely below.
Klaato then gets up from the pilot seat, Stops the plane in mid air, he stops it by placing his hands on the ceiling.
The earth is being swallowed up by water, Gort is still down there.
The water doesn’t harm him, because he shut himself off for now.
Klaato then rips opens the door as it opens and the UFO’s are right there.
Klaato then looks back.
Henry and Billy wonder what is going to happen.
Klaato gathers strength.
Klaato
I’m sorry…I cannot save you.
Klaato grabs Billy as Henry collapses as he cries Klaato steps onto the UFO platform again with Billy
Henry’s plane is falling towards the water.
Billy looks back at him
Henry then hits the water with the plane falling and crashing from behind it.
Billy can’t look.
EXT-Horse Town
The priest is driving madly through the dead country dirt roads, he approaches the prison, parks, get out, and runs in.
He runs to any cell he can find.
He finds Sharon in a corner, she looks very sick.
He picks her up, not knowing what to do with her, he looks up and prays.
Then he takes her out into the car, and he drives off, she is in the passenger seat, holding on to live since she is in bad shape.
Then, the wall of water comes at them; he tries to drive the other way but the water then consumes them.
The water crashes into the truck; we see an overhead shot of the water consuming everything, even the prison, and some trees crack.
INT-Images
Images some across the screen of Henry’s House being completely underwater, and a couple of other locations.
EXT-New York City-Night
A few moments after all that happened, Klaato looks down at the water.
Billy
Please, stop all of this.
Klaato looks up
Klaato
It is too far in.
Billy
I thought you were going to save the good people!
Klaato
I have, look.
Billy looks as we now understand what the UFO’s were for: saving the ones that were good.
The UFO’s consist of tons of people.
Billy
Then why didn’t you save Grandpa?
Klaato
He said something that he shouldn’t have said.
Billy looks down as the world fills up with water.
Everything consumes with water, he now runs inside the UFO as it shuts the doors.
He looks down from the window, water getting higher and higher.
Klaato looks down at the floor.
Then outside
INT-Outside
The camera panels out form the window, look at all the UFO’s go up into the atmosphere, the water below is up near 5,000 FT.
They can see the sun’s light on the world now except everything is cloudy on Earth.
They fly out of the atmosphere, the UFO’s fly towards Mars.
Billy sees this.
Billy
Why are we going towards Mars?
Klaato
That is your new home, people of Earth’s new home.
Billy
But the Earth was fine
Klaato
No it wasn’t. The human race can begin anew here.
They fly into Mars’ atmosphere; the UFO’s burning, as we see nothing but orange dust and fire as we go really fast.
Billy looks down to see a massive building with enclosed hallways down on Mars.
As they begin touching down, he looks back at Earth, barely visible through the dust.
INT-Earth
We have a huge massive view of Earth, it’s gray and murky but the sun reflects on it.
We see the water still moving, the last visible part of Earth is now underwater, and Mount Everest’s point goes under water.
Then, another view of Earth
END.
FADE OUT.
