"There should be a cluster of uplink proms... in a compartment in the bottom of the dish." " We only need one." " We have to go back out." "If we don't go out, we'll never get out."

"We're goin' out." "[Grunting]" "Dereliction in the performance of duty is grounds for court-martial." "Lt. Damphousse was the communications offiicer... and therefore responsible for the operation and repair of the radio." " Is that correct?" " Yes, sir." "Did she refuse to go outside the ship to facilitate the repair of the radio?" "Does that accurately describe her actions?" "It describes her actions, but not her." "Tell us about the bunker."

"We can't get all weirded out here." "We got to hold it together... at least until we get the uplinked prom back to the ship." " [Woman's Voice, Indistinct]" " You hear that?" " Hear what?"

"Where did he go?" "West, where the hell did you go?" "[Crying Continues]" "I'm Nathan West." "I'm with the 58th Squadron." "We're here on a resupply mission." " [Crying Continues]" " Do you hear that voice?" "I hear a lot of voices." "Can you tell me" "This battle, those lights" "Do you know what's going on here?" "You shouldn't have to ask." "You've been here before." "Anytime you awake in the dark in a cold sweat... moments before, you were here." "Who are you?" "I'm not me anymore." "The light took me away." "Here the light is an enemy... an ally with the darkness." "There's no place to run." "There's no escape." "There are 10,000 battlefields in this place." "I've lost a battle." "I've lost the war." "And you'll lose too." "We almost lost you in the ground fog." "Nathan, what are you doing?" "[Distant Man's Voice, Indistinct]" "There was a sergeant in here." "He was telling me about those flashes oflight." "I can't see." " What is he doing?" " Don't know." " But I ain't going in there." "It's too cramped." " And too dark." "[Nathan] Come in here, now.!" "If we go together, you'll be all right." "Do you see any roaches?" "[Shane] Oh, my God!" "Oh!" "[Cooper] Well, what killed 'em?" "The Chigs?" "[Nathan] Each other." "What is this stuff about remaining silent?" "Answer the question, Hawkes." "Each of you wrote in your report that 10 trained marines... killed each other for no apparent reason." "They had their reasons." "They might not have known 'em... and you might not understand it, but they had their reasons." "If you weren't there, how do you know?" "I was there... and I was almost one of them." "That's all, Lieutenant." "He couldn't explain his actions." ""It wasn't her." "I was almost one of them. "" "It's like they can't explain what happened down there." "I think it's obvious, Colonel." "They won't explain what happened." "They're covering for Damphousse." "They're covering for each other." " [Paul] They killed each other." " They killed each other?" "Are you sure it wasn't the Chigs?" "No." "This is an M-590 impact wound, fired from point-blank range." "This lieutenant died from multiple stab wounds." "She did it." "K- bar's still in her hand." "He's got the same burns that" "Say it, Wang." "That we all have." "I don't mean nothin' by it." "I'm just sayin'" "What he's sayin' is that we have to assume we've all been exposed to it." "The sooner we accept it, the sooner we can focus... on not giving in to the effects and ending up like them." "All right." "We all got burned by those lights." " And that's when Damphousse started freakin' out." " And Wang." "You weren't exactly displaying the nerves of a brain surgeon!" "Shut up.!" "We're all a little scared here." "All right!" "And we all had headaches in this area." "That's where the amygdala area is." "Come on." "Why do I know I ain't gonna be followin' this real good?" "It's a collection of neurons that houses fear memories." "Injections in that area decreased posttraumatic stress in A.I. War veterans." "Now, I swear..." "I heard an electronic pop before the flashes, like a bomb." "What if the Chigs have developed a weapon that could effect... the area of the brain that houses fear memories?" "It would increase our phobias to the point of complete incapacitation." "An electronic nerve gas that causes us to turn on each other." "Well, why not just carpet bomb the area?" "Why bother investing troops into battle... when you've got a weapon that causes the enemy to turn on itself?" "Can you imagine a large-scale weapon like that deployed over New York or Los Angeles?" "Actually, you might not be able to tell any difference." "The Chigs must know fear." "Right." "How can you take advantage of a weakness... unless you know the power in using it?" "The Chigs must know us." "If the pain in the area has decreased, then maybe it wears off." "Yeah, might." "But our resistance would be lower if we get hit again." " Our fears will intensify." "There it is." " [Explosion]" "[Shane] If we go out, we could get hit by those lights." "We've got to go back out." "We have to fix the radio to get the hell out ofhere." "[Paul] And we've got to get back to Damphousse." "Okay." "All right." "But if we get hit, we have to get each other through." "The only way we're gonna be able to get through that fear is if we acknowledge it." "But this thing, it's beyond fear." "[Liquid Dripping]" "[Dripping Continues]" "[Dripping Continues]" "[Yells]" "[Dripping Continues]" "[Glen] First Lt. Vansen..." "Shane Autumn, 5605103184." "You were the commanding officer of the supply mission." " Yes, sir." " Did you give Lt. Damphousse an order to repair the radio?" " Yes, sir." " Did she willfully disobey that order?" " Yes, sir." " Was she physically incapable of executing the order?" "No more than the rest of us." "So, by your own words, Lt. Vansen..." "Lt. Damphousse was derelict in her duties." "No, sir." "Lt. Vansen, you are contradicting your testimony." "May I warn you that as commanding officer... you may be held accountable for the actions of your subordinates." "Look" "Sirs, I know that the point of all this... is to get us to turn on one another... but you are wasting your time." " How's that, Lieutenant?" " Because we already have." "[Shane] It's so dark out here." "[Paul] Hang in there, Shane." "[Nathan] The ISSCV should only be 25 meters ahead." " Keep goin'." " [Click]" "[Cooper] Do you hear that?" "I heard a click!" "Nobody move." "One of us stepped on a buzz beam." "It's me." " Don't move." " Oh, damn." "And I was just about to start doing the hustle." " What do we do?" " Shane, you got a field mirror?" "Oh, yeah." "I could use a touch-up just before being shredded into pieces." "We can deflect the beam." "Okay, left thigh pocket." " What are you doing?" " I'm trying to find the precise angle." "If it's a right angle, it deflects the beam down, not up, right?" " Up, not down." " Down is up." "Up is down." " Oh, God." " Ain't physics a bitch?" "Yeah, ain't it though?" " It's getting darker." " Stay with us, Shane." "Don't go off." "When Wang says "now," you go." "Almost." "Almost." "[Screaming]" " Just get it off!" " Don't move!" " Get it off!" "Get it off!" "[Screaming Continues]" " Hang on." " Almost got it." "Okay, go!" " [Paul Sobbing]" " Get it off!" " [Whirring]" "[All Screaming, Shouting]" "[Whirring Continues]" " Come on." "Get back."

"[Groaning]" "I know what we said out there." "I'm sorry." "But unless this door's opened, I'm gonna start throwin' out bodies!" "[Paul] This should hot-wire the door." "[Door Unlocks]" "Don't make me go in there." " Vanessa, put it down!" " Damphousse!" "I'm not goin' in there!" " Don't do it, 'Phousse!" " This is not us!" "There's a weapon." "We're all effected." "It's hard, but keep your head." "I have the part." "We need you to fix the radio so we can get out." " There's blood on the floor." " Fix the radio!" "Listen!" "Listen!" "Understand, I love you... but if any of you try to make me go in there, I'll have to kill you!" "Fix the radio, or there's gonna be blood on the floor where you're standin'." "Stop this!" "Stop!" "This is not us!" "Now, if we do this, the Chigs win." "We can beat them." "Now, put down the guns." "All of us." "Vanessa, what if we cleaned it up?" " I'll know it had been there." "I'm not goin' in." " Okay." "But I'll talk Shane through fixing the radio." " Okay, put down your gun." " When McQueen evacuates us." "If McQueen evacuates us.!" " Shane!" " I can't fix the radio if I can't see." "I'll turn on the lights." "Now, put down your gun." "I'm not turning over my gun when one is pointed at me!" " Me neither!" " I'm not only not giving mine up" " Cross this line, and you die." " [Foot Scraping]" "So much for workin' together." " Go to the radio." "Go!" " Wang, the lights." "No." "That's a great space for roaches to hide." "Remove the control board panel." "In the upper left-hand corner, there's a blue plastic chip." "That's the frequency converter."
