DAMON
That man with the remote device to the bomb said there was a code to disarm it.
(pause)
If Ford was their leader, he would have access to that sort of information. I have to
search his body.
(pause)
You and Loni go with Benson to the lifeboats. I have to try and disarm that bomb.
HARLEY
What do you know about bombs?
DAMON
I know we're all dead if it detonates. What more do I need to know? If Ford has
the disarming code on him, I can disarm it manually.
HARLEY
I'm going with you.
Damon eyes Harley and appears surprised. His look turns stern.
DAMON
The hell you are. You're going with Benson.
BENSON
And I'm going with you, Damon.
Damon looks to Benson and appears stunned.
DAMON
What's with you people?
LONI
I think we should all stick together.
All three stare at Damon. He rolls his eyes and groans lowly.
DAMON
Stick close and keep your heads down.
Damon releases Harley and hurries toward Ford's body. He searches Ford's pockets and casts several objects aside. Damon finally sits back on his feet and frowns.
DAMON
It was worth a shot. Plan B. Get the remote away from that man, so he can't
manually detonate it. Then we'll be able to evacuate the ship.
Harley stares at Ford's body a moment then kneels alongside it. She points to his digital watch.
HARLEY
It's the bomb countdown on his watch.
All three stare at the digital watch Ford wears. Harley quickly removes it from his wrist and turns it over. She suddenly smiles and exposes the inside.
HARLEY
With the disarming codes engraved underneath it.
Damon smiles, takes the watch from her, and quickly stands.
DAMON
We've got a date with a bomb.
BENSON
I'll bet you any amount of money that bomb is set in the engine room.
DAMON
I don't have time to second guess you, so we'll just have to hope you're right.
INT. ENGINE ROOM
Harley, Loni, Benson, and Damon push their way past the three hundred passengers now freed from the engine room. The crew from the ballast tank hurry toward them with pleased smiles.
CREWMAN
That's everyone from the engine room. We'd better get them to the lifeboats. One
of the mechanics said he saw a bomb and it's counting down fast.
DAMON
Where?
