ALIEN NATION Original Screenplay by Rockne S. OBannon Rewrite by James Cameron October 1987FADE IN:EXT. MOJAVE DESERT - DAY (TELEVISION IMAGE)A LONG LENS SHOT of a far distant metallic object hoveringjust above the ground -- maybe two or three miles away.The heat waves and the light re
standing behind the bullet-riddled car, gun ready. He
rapid-fires -- creaming the human Driver.
Tuggle is pinned down behind the thin lamp post by the
shotgun fire from Kipling and Raincoat alien.
SYKES
Get outta there!
TUGGLE
I can't! Do you mind!
SYKES
I'll cover you! Get outta there!!
Sykes rises and runs across the street toward the getaway
car, firing toward the store as he goes.
Kipling and Raincoat dodge behind cover.
Tuggle seizes the opportunity, jumps from behind the lamp
post and runs to the stalled civilian car. He slides
across the hood and drops behind the car for cover.
Tuggle slowly pokes his head up to peer through the car
window. His gaze is met by the face of the OLD MAN driver
who is still inside the car.
OLD MAN
Can I get out now?
TUGGLE
Move it!
Sykes doesn't have a clear firing line on the aliens in
the store. As he considers his next move--
Tuggle fires at the two aliens. They return fire and he
slides down to safety behind the car. Or so he thinks.
Glass rains down on him as the car windows are cremated by
the shotgun blasts. He flinches as another blast hits the
car. He looks over. There's a big exit hole in the
fender beside him. THE SHOT WENT RIGHT THROUGH THE CAR.
Another exit hole is BLASTED, inches from his shoulder.
Panicked, he scrambles along the side of the car -- BLASTS
and exit holes following him until he reaches the front of
the car. He has nowhere left to go and--
-- a BLAST comes through the car and catches him squarely
in the chest throwing him back onto the street.
Sykes' head jerks around -- in time to see his partner of
nine years blown away.
Kipling keeps firing in Tuggle's direction until his
shotgun CLICKS empty.
INT. MINI-MART - NIGHT
Kipling grabs Raincoat and throws him toward the back exit
of the store. The shotgun falls from Raincoat's hands.
The two of them run out the back.
EXT. STREET - NIGHT
Sykes runs to Tuggle's spread-eagled body. One glance is
enough. Nobody ever looked deader.
SYKES
Aw shit, Tug, Jesus! Goddamn it!
He stares, shocked and incredulous. He can't find a way
to think or feel about this. Then we see him going crazy
right before our eyes, the rage revving. He takes off
toward the store as SIRENS are HEARD rapidly approaching
in background.
INT. MINI-MART - NIGHT
Sykes moves through like a locomotive skidding on broken
glass, bangs through the exit.
EXT. ALLEY - NIGHT
Sykes catches sight of the two aliens just as they round
the corner at the far end of the alley. He takes off,
quickly cranking up to full speed.
EXT. BACK STREET - NIGHT
Sykes rounds the corner. Doesn't see them anymore. He
slows... moves along this street with some caution. Lots
of shadows, lots of hiding places. Sykes HEARS a NOISE,
looks up... just in time to see Raincoat on a high, huge
billboard. He cuts loose with the shotgun. Sykes dives.
Huge chunks of the crate he dives behind fly off into the
night. Sykes, on his belly, scrambles deeper among the
crates.
Raincoat's shotgun CLICKS empty now. He drops it, swings
down off the fire escape, runs off.
Sykes is up again in a flash, pounding after him.
EXT. TUNNEL STREET - NIGHT
Sykes rounds this second corner, races down the street.
The only route they could've taken is through a tunnel up
ahead. Sykes approaches the tunnel, all senses wide open.
INT. TUNNEL - NIGHT
The murkiness of the tunnel engulfs him as he moves
through the mouth. He tries to control his breathing so
he can hear. The only SOUND is his own shoes scuffing
along the asphalt.
Then he HEARS -- another set of FOOTSTEPS. Rapid
footsteps, coming toward him, ECHOING. He can't tell from
which direction! He spins, just as a LARGE SHAPE lunges
for him with an alien CRY.
It's the wired Raincoat alien. Sykes gets his gun up just
in time and FIRES -- once, twice, three times. Raincoat
alien is knocked back
