CONTINUED: 42. TECH 1 Well...I mean... TECH 2 Maybe one of the inmates played some kind of a practical joke. LEADER Maybe. (beat) Maybe. LEADER Wow, what a mess. The team breaks out shovels and a body bag. TECH 1 Shame too. Guy was clever, doing that with the sensors, especially on this ship. TECH 2 Yeah. Well, not quite clever enough. LEADER Alright, we done here? TECH 1 Just about. TECH 2 Wow. If I’m reading this right, he nearly made it. Just two more hours and we coulda saved him. LEADER Well, you know what they say, life’s a bitch. All three laugh and put the body onto a cart. They then proceed to leave. SCENE – AIRLOCK – INT – DAY The three of them go through the air lock. Bob follows.

41. Cut to the sensors flickering on and off. FREIGHT The sensors.....they can detect the sensors. The cutters start their work. FREIGHT Wait! Stop! Abort! I know how to send a signal. The cutters continue. Freight struggles in his bonds. The cutters move deeper, blood spurts. FREIGHT WAIT GOD DAMN IT! WAIT. STOP. I CAN STILL FEEL IT. The cutters stop and in that moment he breaks free but the injection arm hits him with a third dose of anesthetic. He crawls down off of the table, but wobbles back and forth. He is clearly bleeding. He moves back and forth and lands in a hall way. Freight leaves a trail of blood behind him. INT – SENSOR ROOM – DAY Freight taps into the computer rapidly. He just sets it up to say S.O.S. FREIGHT S.O.S. God damn it! SOS. The screen blips and seems to acknowledge the command. Freight slowly slides backward in the chair, unconscious. SCENE – DAY – AIR LOCK – INT A clean up crew comes on to the ship. TECH 1 So do you think that this was just a bug? LEADER A bug that says SOS? (CONTINUED)

CONTINUED: 40. FREIGHT Alright. That’s it. Bob, I want you to go away and don’t come back. Even if I tell you otherwise. Bob slowly moves away. He stops once. FREIGHT Go Bob. That’s an order. And don’t come back even if I scream for it. Bob moves away out of sight. A pair of arms with cutters on them emerge from the ceiling. They are very sharp. Another arm comes down and injects Freight with Anesthetic. FREIGHT Wow. That’s some pretty strong stuff. Beat. The cutters start. FREIGHT Oh god. There has to be some other way. The cutters begin to cut and just breach a little bit of skin. FREIGHT Wait! I can still feel that. The cutters stop and the arm with the anesthetic moves up and takes another injection. FREIGHT Wow. That is good stuff. I think I can see new colors. I wonder if I can telepathically communicate with Kendra and Aaron. At least they’re not starving to death, knock on wood. Freight knocks his hand on the table and gets an expression of comprehension on his face. The cutters start again.

CONTINUED: 39. FREIGHT Think we can make it? BOB (Clicks) FREIGHT Well, let’s give it a try. BOB (Clicks) SCENE - INT - DAY Montage of both of them working on creating the harness and trying it out. Freight starts to strap himself into the chair. He has one leg done up before he seems to have second thoughts. Bob ’watches’. Freight unstraps himself. Freight goes through the rich people’s quarters and has Bob scan them. A monetary amount appears on an account, which goes up (Bob is carrying it) that goes up a bit each time they enter a room. Finally, the number approaches one million and Freight is resigned. FREIGHT That’s it. That’s will be enough. Wide shot of Freight again approaching the med bay. SCENE – INT – DAY – MED BAY Freight begins to strap himself into the Apparatus. He has some difficulty with this. FREIGHT Bob, you mind helping? BOB (Clicks twice.) FREIGHT Please Bob? This is the only way. BOB (Beat) (Clicks.) They resume strapping him in to the chair. Finally once he is secured, he talks again to Bob. (CONTINUED)

Beat as the ship doesn’t say anything. FREIGHT Are you sure? SHIP’S COMPUTER 2400. FREIGHT Shut up. Freight slides with his back down against the wall, muttering to himself. SCENE – MED BAY - INT – DAY Freight turns his head at Bob. Bob ’looks’ back. FREIGHT Well. (beat) I guess there really isn’t any other choice then. Freight walks over to a table, takes out a sheet of paper and draws on it. He takes the piece of paper, tears it off, and crumples it and then throws it away. He does this a second time and throws it away. A close up of the blue print reveals a set of elaborate straps designed to put him into the Medical chair. He stares at Bob. (CONTINUED)

BOB (clicks twice) FREIGHT Just do it. BOB (Clicks) Freight then climbs into the vent after him. SHOT – INT – MED BAY – DAY Freight puts the bucket under a microwave sterilizer just to be sure. He then pours it into the creator. He then types in the settings for a Shepard’s pie. It makes a Shepard’s pie. FREIGHT Well...it looks OK. Freight tries to it it. He puts the fork down. Freight picks the fork up and tries again. He puts the fork down. Freight goes and picks up a bottle of ’Space Whiskey’ and gets roaring drunk. He picks up the fork and manages to eat the Shepard’s pie. SCENE – RESTROOM – DAY – INT Freight ralphs into a sink. He throws up a rather large amount. Then he stops, starting to recover, and slowly walks away from the sink. Then he gets sick a second time and walks back to the sink and starts to throw up again. He stays there for a good thirty seconds, near throwing up but with nothing happens. Finally, he moves to another sink and washes his face. He shakes his head weakly and starts to walk away, then getting a sick pallor on his face, running back a third time and throws up. He slowly crawls out of the room.

CLOSE UP – VENT – DAY – INT Freight is all bunched up in the vent and can’t reach his arm back far enough to hit the vent. Freight slowly moves backwards. CLOSE UP – VENT – DIFFERENT ANGLE – DAY – INT Freight is forced to reverse course and and approaches the vent backwards. He then tries to kick the vent, but isn’t tremendously successful. He slides forward every time he tries this. Finally, he signals Bob. Bob wheels up to the vent and drills tiny holes in the floor. Freight pushes off of Bob and kicks back on to the Vent, knocking it out of its socket. WIDE SHOT – RECYCLING CENTER – DAY – INT He slowly moves down into the room. FREIGHT Good God! He reacts to the smell and moves slowly back covering his mouth and nose. He rotates his head around. Freight spots a bucket and walks over towards it. He picks it up and then moves towards the main vat which is full of ’recycled’ material which appears and smells like shit. He nearly gags a few times but then lowers the bucket into the pool and pulls it out. (CONTINUED)

CONTINUED: 35. FREIGHT What are my chances of survival? SHIP’S COMPUTER 35% FREIGHT Not the best odds, but how many calories would it generate if I ate that? An amount shows up on the screen. Freight’s eyes bulge out. FREIGHT Could that be undone later? SHIP’S COMPUTER Yes. But the procedure would be very expensive. Freight considers, and then sighs. FREIGHT Let’s look at other options for now. He gets up and leaves. SCENE 3 - INT – SENSORS – DAY Freight reads the ship’s sensors and notices that there are areas that are ’gray’. He fiddles with the buttons. He smiles triumphantly as it shows a calorie reading. He performs navigation using the map and sees that he has to go through some tunnels. FREIGHT What the hell is that? SHIP’S COMPUTER Ship’s recycling center. FREIGHT But there is no ship’s garden. I wouldn’t think you’d reuse stuff. SHIP’S COMPUTER It is still processed. (CONTINUED)

He moves to the right a little. The blob moves to the right. FREIGHT God damn. Its me. Wow. I’m worth a whole lot of calories. Too bad I can’t eat me. He laughs and then gets an odd expression on his face. He then runs out of the room. SHOT – MED BAY – DAY – INT Freight runs up to the doc machine and types in instructions waiting for an explanation. FREIGHT Wow. Look at all that cyberware. Hey ship, just how much of myself can I replace with this stuff? SHIP’S COMPUTER Please sit in the chair. Freight gets in the chair. SHIP’S COMPUTER Scanning. Mechanical stuff happens. SHIP’S COMPUTER 90%. FREIGHT 90%?! SHIP’S COMPUTER Yes.

CONTINUED: 33. He is upset for a moment as he points his face at the screen and some print outs. He directs his visual sensory apparatus known as eyes at the screen and then the print outs. FREIGHT No. No. That can’t be right. He checks both a second time. SHOT – CLOSE UP – CALORIES. Shows the words “Number of Calories Needed to Survive:” SHOT – CLOSE UP – FOOD INVENTORY Shows the words “Caloric Inventory” SHOT – WIDE – INT MED BAY – DAY Freight swears and scatters the print outs. He calms himself and gathers up the print outs. SHOT – WIDE – INT MED BAY – DAY Time has passed. He adds up the numbers a third time. He reads the numbers a final time and shakes his head.

Camera departs in a wide shot showing him resting his head on the desk, staring despondently at the wall. SCENE 2 - SHOT – INT – BRIDGE – DAY Freight reads the sensors pointed at various parts of the ship trying to find more food. He notices two sections of the ship, and gets nothing. FREIGHT OK Bob.

CONTINUED: 31. Freight tries to break the chair with his hands. He is utterly unsuccessful. He blinks and sighs. FREIGHT Back in a second. Freight returns with an axe and heaves it above his head but doesn’t make even a dent in the thing in the slightest. He tries again and drops the axe as he does so. He grunts and picks up the axe a third time and lets into it, only not making any impact at all. Freight stares at Bob. FREIGHT Right. So are you going to help or what? BOB (Clicks happily and begins to saw away at the chair with a saw attachment that comes from inside his bowels) SHOT: INT – CAPTAIN’S QUARTERS – DAY The chair is reduced to splinters. SHOT: INT – MESS – DAY Bob watches while Freight puts the chopped up chair into the creator. Freight gets a splinter in his hand and swears. The creator makes a Souffle.
