INT. DEATH STAR - DETENTION AREA - HALLWAYAn ominous buzzing sound is heard on the other side of the elevator door. HAN: Chewie! Chewbacca responds with a growling noise. HAN: Get behind me! Get behind me! A series of explosions knock a hole in the elevator door through which several Imperial troops begin to emerge. Han and Chewie fire their laser pistols at them through the smoke and flames. They turn and run down the cell hallway, meeting up with Luke and Leia rushing toward them. HAN: Can't get out that way. LEIA: Looks like you managed to cut off our only escape route. HAN: (sarcastically) Maybe you'd like it back in your cell, Your Highness. Luke takes a small comlink transmitter from his belt as they continue to exchange fire with stormtroopers making their way down the corridor. LUKE: See-Threepio! See-Threepio! THREEPIO: (over comlink) Yes sir? LUKE: We've been cut off! Are there any other ways out of the cell bay? (pause) What was that? I didn't copy! INT. DEATH STAR - MAIN BAY GANTRY - CONTROL TOWERThreepio paces the control center as little Artoo beeps and whistles a blue streak. Threepio yells into the small comlink transmitter. THREEPIO: I said, all systems have been alerted to your presence, sir. The main entrance seems to be the only way out; all other information on your level is restricted. Someone begins banging on the door. TROOPER VOICE: Open up in there! THREEPIO: Oh, no! INT. DEATH STAR - DETENTION CORRIDORLuke and Leia crouch together in an alcove for protection as they continue to exchange fire with troops. Han and Chewbacca are barely able to keep the stormtroopers at bay at the far end of the hallway. The laser fire is very intense, and smoke fills the narrow cell corridor. LUKE: There isn't any other way out! HAN: I can't hold them off forever! Now what? LEIA: This is some rescue! When you came in here, didn't you have a plan for getting out? HAN: (pointing to Luke) He's the brains, sweetheart! Luke manages a sheepish grin and shrugs his shoulders. LUKE: Well, I didn't... The princess grabs Luke's gun and fires at a small grate in the wall next to Han, almost frying him. HAN: What the hell are you doing?!? LEIA: Somebody has to save our skins. Into the garbage chute, flyboy! She jumps through the narrow opening as Han and Chewbacca look on in amazement. HAN: She’s crazy!!! Chewbacca sniffs the garbage chute and says something. HAN: Get in there, you big furry oaf! I don't care what you smell! Get in there and don't worry about it. Han gives him a big kick and the Wookiee disappears into the tiny opening. Luke and Han continue firing as they work their way toward the opening. HAN: Wonderful girl you dragged us after, kid! Either I'm going to kill her or I'm beginning to like her! Get in there! Luke ducks laser fire as he jumps into the darkness. Han fires off a couple of quick blasts creating a smoky cover, then slides into the chute himself (giving off a Corellian yell) and is gone. INT. DEATH STAR - GARBAGE ROOMHan tumbles into a large room filled with garbage and muck. Luke is already stumbling around looking for an exit. He finds a small hatchway and struggles to get it open. It won't budge. HAN: (sarcastically) Oh! The garbage chute was a really wonderful idea. What an incredible smell you've discovered! Let's get out of here! Get away from there... LUKE: No, wait--! Han draws his laser pistol and fires at the hatch. The laser bolt ricochets wildly around the small metal room. Everyone dives for cover in the garbage as the bolt explodes almost on top of them. Leia climbs out of the garbage with a rather grim look on her face. LUKE: Will you forget it? I already tried it. It's magnetically sealed! LEIA: Put that thing away! You're going to get us all killed!! HAN: Absolutely, Your Worship. Look, I had everything under control until you led us down here. You know, it's not going to take them long to figure out what happened to us. LEIA: It could be worse... A loud, horrible, inhuman moan works its way up from the murky depths. Chewbacca lets out a terrified howl and begins to back away. Han and Luke stand fast with their laser pistols drawn. The Wookiee is cowering near one of the walls. HAN: It's worse. LUKE: There's something alive in here! HAN: That's your imagination. Behind the group, an eye on a slimy stalk juts up out of the water, takes a quick look around, then drops back below the water before any of the group can see it. LUKE: Something just moved past my leg! Look! Did you see that? HAN: What? Suddenly Luke is yanked under the garbage. HAN: Luke! Luke! Luke! Solo tries to get to Luke. Luke surfaces with a gasp of air and thrashing of limbs. A membrane tentacle is wrapped around his throat. LEIA: Luke! Leia extends a long pipe toward him. LEIA: Luke, Luke, grab a hold of this. LUKE: Blast it, will you?!? My gun's jammed! HAN: Where? LUKE: Anywhere! Oh!! Solo fires his gun downward. Luke is pulled back into the muck by the slimy tentacle. HAN: Luke! Luke! Suddenly the walls of the garbage receptacle shudder and move in a couple of inches. Then everything is deathly quiet. Han and Leia give each other a worried look as Chewbacca howls in the corner. With a rush of bubbles and muck Luke suddenly bobs to the surface. LEIA: Grab him! Luke seems to be released by the thing. LEIA: What happened? LUKE: I don't know, it just let go of me and disappeared...maybe I didn’t smell bad enough for it… HAN: I've got a very bad feeling about this. Before anyone can say anything the walls begin to rumble and edge toward the Rebels. LUKE: The walls are moving! LEIA: Don't just stand there. Try and brace it with something. They place poles and long metal beams between the closing walls, but they are simply snapped and bent as the giant trash masher rumbles on. The situation doesn't look too good. LUKE: Wait a minute! Luke pulls out his comlink. LUKE: Threepio! Come in Threepio! Threepio! Where could he be? Download 0.73 Mb. Share with your friends:
