DC Showcase: Adam Strange (2020) Movie Script

[theme music playing]
[people talking indistinctly]
Intersection co-ordinates all wrong.
No sense to it. No sense.
Another bottle!
Not till next payday, you bum!
Last call for you!
[groans]
[grunting]
[groaning]
[man] Watch it,
you drunken piece of shit!
Not as drunk as I look.
[grunts]
[cracking]
-[crunching]
-[screams]
Hey! [grunts]
I'm gonna bust you up, old man.
[Foreman] Back off, Noris.
[Noris] Not till I'm done with him.
Let him go.
Now. Or you'll deal with me.
He ain't worth it. You can have him.
[grunts]
[groans]
-[thuds]
You all right?
Take me. Take me. Take me now.
So, it looked like
this new place opened up
-and I just really wanted to take...

[screaming]
Alanna!
Alanna, my love!
[weakly] Adam. The Thanagarians. They...
It's gonna be all right.
No. Not even you can save Rann
this time, beloved.
Where's Aleea? Where's our daughter?
Is she alive?
Is she...
Alanna.
[Thanagarian screeching]
[grunting]
[yelling]
[woman] Mr. Strange.
Mr. Strange. Can you hear me?
[man] Let him be.
We need to help him.
He's beyond help.
Pick him up. Take him to a shelter.
There's no room for the weak out here.
Then perhaps Meyra and I
should leave this place.
That's not what I meant.
He's a human being, Father.
Hmm. I've got work to do.
[wind howling]
Never been this deep before.
Wonder if it's safe.
You're looking for safe,
you're in the wrong profession, asshole.
Stop screwing around!
We've got a quota to meet.
[all screaming]
[men groaning]
[growling]
[men screaming]
-[signal scrambling]
-[men screaming]
What the hell's going on out there?
[man] Creatures.
Like nothing I've ever seen!
Moving up out of the mine!
Heading for town! They--
[screaming]
Grab anything you can find
that we can use as weapons,
then meet me on Front Street.
Move!
Aleea's smart. Resourceful.
She's alive out there, I know it.
And I'll find her, beloved.
I swear on our love that I'll--
[beeping]
No. Not the Zeta Beam!
Not now!
[screaming]
[grunts]
[groans]
No. No! Take me back!
Take me back.
Take me...
[pinging]
[shudders]
[giggling]
I'll find my way back to you, Aleena.
-I'll find...
-[vehicle approaching]
So this thing, this, uh...
Zeta Beam.
You think it's gonna, what?
Magically carry you back to your planet?
Not magic, science.
I just have to crunch the numbers.
Calculate when and where
the beam will return and...
[sighs]
Knock yourself out.
But in the meantime,
we could use more help in the mines.
But don't get used to my face,
'cause I'm not going to be here
for long.
580 million over 1,200 thousand
times velocity,
equals 580 million kilometers.
With acceleration
of 239.332 per second...
Velocity equals distance
over time.
580 million times two equals...
Distance...
[grunts]
[groans]
To 12 hundred and 10 millionth...
Velocity equals...
On your feet, Strange!
Colony's in trouble,
we need every man to...
[groaning]
-[grunts]
-Grab anything we can use as weapons.
Human being?
Not anymore.
[thudding]
[screeching]
[Meyra whimpers]
[screams]
[grunting]
Lock the doors!
God damn it! Hold the line!
[man] Run!
[men shouting and screaming]
[gasps]
[creature snarling]
[grunts]
Get back inside, Diane.
No. We face this together.
All of us. Together, then.
[grunts]
-[grunting]
-[creature screeching]
[creature snarling]
No!
Mr. Strange?
[creature roaring and screeching]
[grunts]
You sure you won't come with us?
I can't. The Zeta Beam dropped me here,
and I have to wait for it
to arrive again.
And if it doesn't?
It will. It has to.
For my daughter's sake.
Best of luck.
Adam.
