INT. - MUMBAI SANCTUARY - HALLWAY
[Magnus is on gurney giving Will CPR. Kate is beside them with Ravi close behind.]
RAVI:
I'm putting his blood sample into the system now!
MAGNUS:
Come on!
KATE:
Come on, Will!
[Will regains consciousness and thrashes about.]
KATE:
It's going to be okay.
RAVI:
Normal cardiac tach.
MAGNUS:
Help me hold him! Will, it's Helen! Can you hear me?
WILL:
Kali... She's out there!
[Magnus hops off gurney and runs beside it.]
MAGNUS:
God, what the hell did they do to you?
WILL:
[in Hindi] Let me go!
MAGNUS:
He's in shock.
RAVI:
Dr. Magnus...
[Ravi hands Magnus a slip of paper.]
MAGNUS:
Oh, my God.
KATE:
What is it?
RAVI:
His organs are going into systematic failure.
MAGNUS:
His system's been flooded with toxic antibodies. Turn him!
KATE:
What? He's been poisoned?
MAGNUS:
No, the makri, it must have been removed by force. It would have released these toxins.
KATE:
But I thought the hosts can't survive without it.
MAGNUS:
They can't! Will!

Act I[]
INT. - MUMBAI SANCTUARY - INFIRMARY
[Magnus is checking on Will who is still unconscious not restless as before. Kate enters the room.]
KATE:
Hey... God, he looks terrible.
MAGNUS:
Unfortunately the makri's absence from his nervous system is causing a hypersensitive immune response. I've stabilized him for now, reduced the fevers, prevented more seizures. We're running tests. I know of a few treatments that could slow his decline but we simply don't know enough about the makri or its effect on his physiology.
KATE:
Any sign of Bertha?
MAGNUS:
All our resources are being diverted to the search but it'll take time. She could be thousands of miles away by now.
[Magnus's voice wavers slightly on the last sentence.]
KATE:
Hey, don't beat yourself up about it. You did what you had to do.
[Magnus smiles at Kate.]
MAGNUS:
I wish it were that simple. The truth is, I broke the rules that I myself set into place. I knew it would come back and haunt me sooner or later.
KATE:
No, doc, there is a psychic link to a parasite and an ancient cult. Abnormals all over the world are acting crazy. I would say that your hunch about Bertha being connected to the eco-system is on the money.
MAGNUS:
She could destroy millions of lives!
KATE:
And by killing her, she could destroy millions of lives. So what kind of choice is that!
[Magnus nods.]
KATE:
Look, it happened... So we improvise, we fix it. What else can I do?
MAGNUS:
Find out if Henry's made it to the lead search ship. Patch him through when he's ready.
KATE:
Done.
[Kate leaves and Magnus looks upon Will and sighs.]
INT. - SANCTUARY LEAD SHIP
[Henry is on video link with Magnus and Kate.]
HENRY:
Bertha's magnetic burst definitely caused a spike in weirdness. I've adjusted our navigation systems to compensate. Also, Declan's reporting more incidents of abnormals appearing in public stirring things up.
MAGNUS:
Yes, I've been getting messages from heads of sanctuaries all over the world. Things are only getting worse.
HENRY:
Hey, doc, listen, about Bertha. I'm really sorry I wasn't there to help.
MAGNUS:
You were in the air, Henry. There's nothing you could've done.
HENRY:
Yeah...
KATE:
Okay, so we lost round one. What's our next move?
MAGNUS:
We need to re-establish contact with Bertha's tracking device.
HENRY:
Yeah, bad guys have got her under some sort of a jamming cloak. None of my scans are picking anything up.
MAGNUS:
Who the hell could've done this?
KATE:
Someone with major connections in the abnormal world.
MAGNUS:
It's far more than that. This is someone who has put together pieces of information that are thousands of years old... the cult of Kali, the makri, its connection to Bertha.
KATE:
Who everybody believed was dead.
HENRY:
Yeah, you know this whole cult thing, I mean that's got to be like biblical old, huh?
MAGNUS:
Older in fact; there are legends of abnormals who were movers of earth, heralds of the great floods, the whisperers who could talk to all creatures. All these predate even the earliest Egyptian dynasties. Someone studied this as though it were all fact not myth and now they have control of the most dangerous abnormal on Earth. I want to know who we're dealing with and where they've taken her. Get us back in the game, Henry.
HENRY:
Yeah.
INDIAN OCEAN, INT RESEARCH VESSEL ANTARDIS
[Charles is studying his laptop as Forsythe meditates. Rheka sits on a couch in silence watching Forsythe.]
CHARLES:
We're almost in position, Mr. Forsythe.
[Bertha continues walking across the ocean.]
INT. - MUMBAI SANCTUARY INFIRMARY
[Magnus has returned to watch over Will.]
WILL'S HALLUCINATION
[Will is resting comfortably when he hears Kali's voice.]
[Will sits up suddenly.]
WILL:
Kali?
WILL:
[Speaks Hindi.]
[Will gets off the bed and starts walking. Kali is running away from him in the hallway.]
KALI:
[Speaks Hindi.]
[Will chases after her.]
WILL:
Kali?
KALI:
Durga, find me.
WILL:
Kali?
KALI:
Come to me.
[Will suddenly stops and grabs his side in pain.]
INT. - MUMBAI SANCTUARY INFIRMARY
[Will regains consciousness and clutches at his side and thrashes about in pain.]
MAGNUS:
Ravi, I need two milligrams lorazepam! Hold him still, or he'll lose the IV!
[Magnus administer the drug into his IV as Ravi holds him still.]
WILL:
Help me! Help me find her!
MAGNUS:
Will, talk to me.
WILL:
Help me find her... [Speaks Hindi.]
INDIAN OCEAN, INT RESEARCH VESSEL ANTARDIS
[Forsythe enters a dream state and sees the same room Will first saw but he can't find Kali.]
FORSYTHE:
Damn it...
RHEKA:
You can't see her, can you?
FORSYTHE:
Who?
RHEKA:
Kali. You can't see her.
FORSYTHE:
[Laughs.] The Bhagavad Gita says the herald will see her as a beautiful enchantress when the connection is strong with color so vibrant so as to blind a man.
RHEKA:
It does say that.
FORSYTHE:
So why am I seeing nothing when I'm connected to Bertha? Come on. I brought you here as my tech support and it's my first time as a herald. I'm not going to get nasty with you...but he might.
[Forsythe indicates the Charles.]
RHEKA:
Kali only comes to the mind's eye when the makri wills it so. You are not its chosen host. You will never see her mind inside yours.
FORSYTHE:
So I don't get fries with my happy meal, boo hoo.
RHEKA:
You're not a herald and you never will be. [Spits.]
FORSYTHE:
Oh, really? That's funny, because I thought I was the one who, who made her crawl 200 miles across the ocean floor. I'm the one with the critter inside of me. I think Bertha will do whatever I want.
RHEKA:
Such as?
FORSYTHE:
What do the ancient texts foretell? The great flood will come and sweep away sins; the Earth swallowing up our unclean. Every single holy man has predicted Bertha's awakening since the beginning of time and guess what? They're right. They're right! Bibi... It's the end of days.
Act II[]
EXT. - MUMBAI
[Kate is walking around the city. She senses someone following her. Arjuna peers around a corner and Kate turns quickly with her gun drawn.]
ARJUNA:
Don't shoot! Don't shoot!
KATE:
Ah... do not do that.
[Kate puts her gun away.]
ARJUNA:
Do what?
KATE:
Follow me like that.
ARJUNA:
You're looking for the ones who hurt the white man; the ones who took my bibi.
KATE:
You saw them? The, uh...the white guy is pretty sick right now.
ARJUNA:
Sick? But he has a makri inside him.
KATE:
Not anymore.
ARJUNA:
[Sighs.] That's very bad.
INT. - MUMBAI SANCTUARY INFIRMARY
[Magnus sits by Will's bedside with a computer on her lap when Ravi enters.]
RAVI:
Dr. Magnus?
[Magnus stands and faces Ravi.]
MAGNUS:
Have you heard from Henry?
RAVI:
Still trying to steal back satellites to pick up Bertha's trail. He's going through every ship in the area at the time she escaped. So far all their stories check out. He's looking for false registries, shell companies...
MAGNUS:
It's taking too long. Bertha's been gone more than 12 hours now. Someone has control of her. Declan's reporting more abnormals worldwide wreaking havoc.
RAVI:
Controlling the spin on that many sightings; not easy.
MAGNUS:
And Will, he's speaking more Hindi now than English when he talks. He keeps calling out for Kali.
RAVI:
Quite possibly a side effect of having the makri forcibly removed.
KATE:
It isn't.
[Kate enters the infirmary with Arjuna.]
KATE:
This is Arjuna. He says he's a member of the cult. Tell them what you told me.
ARJUNA:
Your friend is still connected to Kali.
MAGNUS:
Are you certain?
ARJUNA:
If he still sees her, in his dreams, they can speak. Kali's an apsara.
MAGNUS:
A sea spirit.
KATE:
Bertha?
ARJUNA:
Once the makri chooses its host that bond can't be undone even when the makri is gone.
MAGNUS:
Can he sense this apsara, control it?
ARJUNA:
Not without the makri to help him.
MAGNUS:
He's helpless.
ARJUNA:
Unless they call her in a rapati sungu.
RAVI:
Rapati sungu?
ARJUNA:
He must dance for her.
KATE:
Dance for her?
ARJUNA:
If he dances a song for her, she will hear him. If he dances well she will listen to whatever he says.
MAGNUS:
Are you sure about this?
ARJUNA:
Of course, I am to be a host when I am older. I've been training since I was very young.
[The phone rings and Ravi goes to answer it.]
RAVI:
Infirmary, go ahead.
[Ravi lowers the phone and turns to Helen.]
RAVI:
You have a visitor.
[Magnus leaves the infirmary.]
INT. - MUMBAI SANCTUARY MAIN ROOM
[Wexford is sitting in a chair and Magnus is standing nearby facing him.]
WEXFORD:
You took Bertha to the woods to kill her and you never pulled the trigger. The optics on that are...
MAGNUS:
Oh to hell with the optics, Terrance. It was my choice not to kill her. If I thought it would be popular I wouldn't have kept it secret.
WEXFORD:
Well, the only problem with lying is getting caught.
[Magnus sits on the couch.]
MAGNUS:
What are you saying?
WEXFORD:
I'm saying that eighty...fifty years ago even, no one would have challenged you on this but things have changed. Helen, I'm sure you did what you thought was best and at the time, it probably was, but now...
MAGNUS:
I couldn't have known about the makri or that someone would have figured out a way to control Bertha remotely.
WEXFORD:
And I know you took every precaution but it still happened. Look, this isn't even about credibility. It's becoming about trust. You need to contain this situation quickly.
MAGNUS:
We need to find whoever's controlling Bertha and sever the connection. Once I get her back into containment again, then I...
WEXFORD:
Containment, Helen, Bertha is a threat to every living creature on this planet and you want to put her back in her box?
MAGNUS:
This issue is far larger than you could possibly understand. Killing her is a last resort. The other heads of house agree. It would be far too reckless.
WEXFORD:
Yes, some feel that way but not all...and Helen, the tides are turning. We've known each other for a long time and I owe you everything... but you need to rethink your stand on this. You're on thinner ice than you realize.
INT. - MUMBAI SANCTUARY HALLWAY
[Magnus and Kate are walking down the hallway while Magnus talks to Henry on her cell phone.]
HENRY:
There were about eighteen ships in the vicinity when Bertha was taken. Now, at first blush most of them check out. You got oil tankers, cargo ships, fishing trawlers. No connective tissue between any of them.
MAGNUS:
But you found something.
[Magnus and Kate enter the office and Magnus connects to a video link with Henry.]
HENRY:
Yeah. Hi!
[Henry waves and Kate waves back.]
HENRY:
Yeah, I hacked into the databases of a few Fortune 500 companies and I cross-referenced their boards of directors. You know, those guys make a whole bunch of money for doing pretty much nothing?
KATE:
And?
HENRY:
And, well, one of the guys sits on the board of every company that had ships in the region where Bertha was hijacked. Here you go. This is Edward Forsythe. Now, he's a big player in the global geo-mining biz, okay. This guy owns half of the oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico and the North Sea Oil Project, all right? And he was in Mumbai when all this went down.
MAGNUS:
I've met him before. He approached me at a conference years ago, asked all sorts of questions about abnormals in ancient mythology.
HENRY:
Oh, sorry. It's a bit rough in here. So I don't know how he knows what he knows, yet, but he did buy a lot of ancient artifacts from museums over the last few years for like, insane amounts of money.
MAGNUS:
What kind of artifacts?
HENRY:
Totems, scrolls, ancient texts; it's all Shroud of Turin, Indiana Jones stuff. He believes every abnormal can be traced to a certain region of Pangea going back like, millions of years.
KATE:
The original super-continent.
MAGNUS:
That's an interesting theory, but there's no proof.
HENRY:
So what does a billionaire art collector want with an earthquake monster?
MAGNUS:
Well, controlling Bertha's like having the ultimate nuke. I mean, he could be using her to leverage oil rights anywhere in the world; political blackmail for business contracts. Any coastal city is in jeopardy if he lets her loose.
KATE:
No. That's a lot of risk for a little gain. I mean, the guy definitely doesn't need the money.
MAGNUS:
Then what on Earth is he up to?
INDIAN OCEAN, INT RESEARCH VESSEL ANTARDIS
[Forsythe is looking out the window as he talks to Rheka.]
FORSYTHE:
Do you think they're onto me, Magnus and her crew? Eh, I think they're onto me. Not that it matters. They have no idea what I'm up to. They're probably digging up the auction sale from the Canopic jar of Shtabi from the London museum. They should've bought it from a numbered company. We're never going to be pals, are we?
RHEKA:
Ha, you're afraid. You should be.
CHARLES:
Sorry about the delay, sir. Bertha's proximity is playing havoc with our navigation.
FORSYTHE:
Yeah, well, we were about to start swapping puke stories. What's new?
CHARLES:
She's made good progress, sir. She's at the designated coordinates now.
FORSYTHE:
So we're ready for phase two? Collateral damage?
CHARLES:
We anticipate major seismic activities associated with her actions. Coastal areas will be hit very hard.
FORSYTHE:
That's a damn shame. Let's get it started.
CHARLES:
Right.
FORSYTHE:
Come on, girl, let's go to work.
WILL:
'S HALLUCINATION
[Will is back in the large room looking around. Kali is in a large octagonal pool/bath.]
KALI:
Where have you been?
[Will walks toward her.]
KALI:
Come.
[Will strips and joins her.]
KALI:
You have been looking for me?
WILL:
That depends if this is real or not.
KALI:
I am real, Durga, as real as you.
WILL:
Why do you call me that? Durga.
KALI:
It is your name. Don't tell me you have forgotten mine as well?
WILL:
Kali.
KALI:
You should have not disappeared like that. Where did you go?
WILL:
The thing that connects us was taken from me.
KALI:
The makri? And you allowed this?
WILL:
I didn't have much of a choice...but the other one that you're connected to is not your herald.
KALI:
He calls me.
WILL:
No... Kali, you need to stay. Don't listen to him.
KALI:
I must go, Durga. I can't stay.
WILL:
No... No, wait.
KALI:
If you are my true herald, find me.
WILL:
How?
KALI:
Dance the rapati sungu.
WILL:
Dance?
KALI:
And you will find me.
INT. - MUMBAI SANCTUARY - INFIRMARY
[Will regains consciousness and sits up.]
INT. - MUMBAI SANCTUARY - HALLWAY
[A medical alarm is beeping. Magnus is running down the hallway into the infirmary. She sees Will is gone.]
Act III[]
INT. - MUMBAI SANCTUARY - MAIN ROOM
[Magnus is passing out things to a large group of men. Kate is handing out photographs to the same men.]
MAGNUS:
I should have taken more precautions. His state of mind's been deteriorating lately.
RAVI:
I've contacted the local authorities, given his description.
MAGNUS:
Oh I'm sure they'll be a big help.
KATE:
You'd think a white guy wandering the street screaming about Kali would get noticed.
RAVI:
Not really. It's Mumbai.
MAGNUS:
I want all abnormals with psychic and remote-viewing abilities activated as well. If Will's mind is still linked to Bertha there may be a way to track him using unconventional means.
RAVI:
On it.
[Wexford enters.]
WEXFORD:
Helen...
MAGNUS:
Not now, Terrance.
WEXFORD:
We need to get on a ship, lead the search for Bertha and end this.
MAGNUS:
The search is ongoing. Finding Will is just as important. His link to Bertha may well be the key.
WEXFORD:
I need five minutes.
MAGNUS:
Take over. I'll be right back.
KATE:
Got it.
MAGNUS:
Come with me.
EXT. - MUMBAI
[Kate, Ravi and the men are on the streets questioning the people.]
KATE:
[Speaking Hindi then speaking English.] Are you sure?
[Kate approaches more people.]
KATE:
Hey... [speaking Hindi.] Are you sure?
[Kate holds out the photograph.]
KATE:
Look at it. [Speaking Hindi.] No? Okay.
[Kate moves away.]
KATE:
Damn it!
[She yells at a young man.]
KATE:
Hey, buddy. [Speaking Hindi.] Thanks for nothing.
[Kate's frustration is showing as she keeps asking people.]
KATE:
Come on...
[Kate has rejoined Ravi.]
KATE:
[sighs.] Oh, God... These people are really, really unhelpful. No wonder we have no idea where he's gone.
RAVI:
You're not really Indian, are you?
KATE:
Excuse me? Dude... [in Hindi.] I was born here.
RAVI:
Yeah, but you didn't grow up here, that's for sure.
KATE:
So?
RAVI:
So you have no idea how to talk to these people. They want to help us. You're just not asking properly.
KATE:
What, am I supposed to offer them money 'cause I have tried that; it doesn't work.
RAVI:
Kate, it's entirely inappropriate to offer money to someone in their own home. You need to show politeness, gratitude. Would it kill you to have a cup of tea with them, for God's sake? They don't like you. Stop being rude and they will help us.
KATE:
I know all that. It's just that I've never bought into that whole...quiet, subservient Indian girl thing.
RAVI:
Man, you have some serious hang-ups about your roots. This is the 21st century. You don't have to be a servant or a maid, you just have to show some respect. You can be likeable, even attractive when you let your guard down. Try that.
KATE:
Did you...just make a pass at me?
RAVI:
Warming up to it. Not that my parents would approve of you, of course.
KATE:
[laughs.]
RAVI:
I'm joking. They'd love you.
KATE:
Really?
RAVI:
No.
INT. - MUMBAI SANCTUARY OFFICE
[Magnus is sitting on the edge of the desk as Wexford paces.]
WEXFORD:
I know Will is tied into this but you're only going to dig yourself a bigger hole by taking your eyes off of Bertha.
MAGNUS:
Believe me, this is the right strategy.
WEXFORD:
No, it isn't!
MAGNUS:
You are way out of line.
WEXFORD:
You need to shift your focus on this right now. Lying about not euthanizing an extinction level abnormal would've gotten any other head of house suspended but because it's you, they're trying to give you the benefit of the doubt.
MAGNUS:
Which they should.
WEXFORD:
For how long! And now with this Forsythe character, who can control her by remote, what would you say if the shoe were on the other foot?
MAGNUS:
There are extenuating circumstances. We don't know enough yet about her connection to the Earth. You don't destroy something that powerful without having all the facts.
WEXFORD:
The fact is, she can destroy half of Europe when she's upset! You've taken us to the brink, Helen. How did you think the Network would respond? You taught us to think like this. You said, "question everything". They're giving you 72 hours to contain the situation.
[Magnus sighs and nods. A beeping sounds from the computer. Magnus goes and activates it and Wexford looks over her shoulder.]
MAGNUS:
It's Henry.
HENRY:
Doc! Geosynchronous satellites detected major magnetic disturbances about four minutes ago. I'm sending you the data now. Look based on the resonance pattern this has got to be Bertha.
MAGNUS:
Re-direct all search teams to the coordinates immediately.
HENRY:
Yeah, we're closing in now and I know your next question...why would Forsythe send Bertha there?
MAGNUS:
Tectonic plates.
HENRY:
Because the tecton... yeah... right.
MAGNUS:
It's a convergence point of three major tectonic boundaries in the southern hemisphere... the Indian, African and Arabian plates. Dear God, he's going to set her off.
INDIAN OCEAN, INT RESEARCH VESSEL ANTARDIS
[Forsythe is mediating and Charles is monitoring the computer.]
CHARLES:
No change since the recent burst.
FORSYTHE:
Nothing?
CHARLES:
No activity, sir. She's just sitting there.
RHEKA:
[Laughs.] [in Hindi.] Some herald you are.
FORSYTHE:
[in Hindi.] I brought her here. She will do this.
RHEKA:
You're not strong enough. You're not worthy of carrying the makri...and Kali knows it.
FORSYTHE:
Really? Watch this. Fire the little spider up. Magnetic resonance burst, half power, just to get things started.
[The Charles gets the device that they used on Will earlier.]
CHARLES:
Mr. Forsythe...
FORSYTHE:
Shut up and do it.
[The Charles holds the device up to Forsythe's back.]

HENRY:
I've got your long-range chopper at Shivaji Airport prepped and ready to go; should get you out here within six hours.
MAGNUS:
Good. Is the weapon ready?
HENRY:
Yeah, one VLF Bertha stunner ready to go. You get close enough the acoustic bullet should put her back to sleep. Just, the problem is...
MAGNUS:
We have to get close enough.
HENRY:
Yeah.
MAGNUS:
All right, I'll get there as soon as I can.
HENRY:
Okay, fly safe.
WEXFORD:
You're using a long-range acoustic device against Bertha?
MAGNUS:
With a clear shot, we could knock her out. Forsythe can't control an unconscious creature.
WEXFORD:
What if it doesn't work? You need an alternative.
MAGNUS:
I'm hoping it won't come to that.
WEXFORD:
There's too much at stake, Helen.
MAGNUS:
I agree and if there is absolutely no alternative then I will destroy her.
Act IV[]
EXT. - MUMBAI
KATE:
[in Hindi.] Ma'am, sorry to trouble you but we are looking for a friend. A white man. He is ill and needs help. Many blessings upon your house for your good will. Thank you.
RAVI:
Suddenly such a delicate flower.
KATE:
Oh, bite me.
RAVI:
It's actually quite breathtaking.
EXT. - SHIVAJI AIRPORT
[Magnus is about to take off in the helicopter and Wexford is leaning in the door. Henry is standing near the helicopter preparing some device.]
WEXFORD:
We'll monitor you from here! Maintain radio contact!
MAGNUS:
Do nothing unless I order it!
WEXFORD:
Of course.
[Henry gets in helicopter.]
HENRY:
Ready!

[Will is running and hallucinating. He sees Kali.]
WILL:
Kali! Kali, what are you doing? No! No, you must stop! No...
[Will sees Bertha and what she is doing.]
WILL:

ABOVE INDIAN OCEAN
MAGNUS:
We're almost at the coordinates. Anything yet?
HENRY:
Yeah, reports of seismic activity in the area, low-grade but pretty constant. I'd say we've got to be getting pretty close. I'm just getting some weird mapping data here. Okay, that's just crazy.
MAGNUS:
What is it?
HENRY:
I'm cross-checking with our nautical charts. Just hold on. Okay, either we're totally off course or...Doc, I'm reading a chain of islands dead ahead but there's nothing in the charts indicating any land mass just open ocean.
MAGNUS:
That's because it's new.
HENRY:
She's not making earthquakes.
MAGNUS:
She's making land!
MAGNUS:
[INTO RADIO.] This is Magnus. We have a complication. Are you getting these images?
[Wexford is on the leading Sanctuary vessel monitoring.]
WEXFORD:
Yes, we are. Sonar indicates tectonic plates are diverging rapidly. We're also detecting a smaller vessel approximately six miles West of your position.
MAGNUS:
What do you want to bet it's Forsythe?
CAPTAIN:
This is the captain. We're moving to intercept.
MAGNUS:
Don't! He's got control of Bertha. If we try taking his ship there's no telling what he'll do. That's why he's out here alone, he has the ultimate bodyguard.
WEXFORD:
If she keeps building land at this rate...
MAGNUS:
...it'll cause massive destruction to the entire region, I know. We're circling around trying to get a better lock on her position.
WEXFORD:
Copy that, standing by.
[Wexford holds his hand over the microphone and speaks to the captain.]
WEXFORD:
Ready deployment of all depth charges; if she can't finish this, we will.
CAPTAIN:
Yes, sir.

KATE:

RAVI:
People are saying there's something happening a few streets over.
ABOVE INDIAN OCEAN
MAGNUS:
Henry?
HENRY:
I can't get a shot. We didn't anticipate her making islands and they're kind of in the way.
MAGNUS:
Dammit.
HENRY:
What do you want me to do, doc?
MAGNUS:
Target Forsythe's ship.
HENRY:
Forsythe's ship?
MAGNUS:
If we can't get a shot at Bertha we might be able to use the LRAD to sever his connection to her.
HENRY:
Oh, man...
EXT. - MUMBAI
[Will is yelling and a crowd has gathered around him.]
WILL:
Kali! Kali, you must stop! The end of days... I must... I must find her. How can I find her? Dance... [Laughs.] I can dance!
[The people look at Will as if he is crazy as he starts to dance.]
WILL:
I can dance! [dances.] Kali! [dances.] Kali!
[Will dances and in his hallucination he sees the people joining him. Kali appears in the crowd watching him and Will sees her.]

MAGNUS:
Of course he does. [missiles fire.]

HENRY:
[Laughs.] Yeah! Nice move, doc!
MAGNUS:
Get ready to fire the weapon!
INDIAN OCEAN, INT RESEARCH VESSEL ANTARDIS
[Forsythe is still mediating to regain control of Kali.]
CREWMAN:
We have missed the target. 20 seconds to reload.
EXT. - MUMBAI
[Will walks toward Kali.]
KALI:
Namaskarr, Durga.
WILL:
[Breathless.] Namaskarr, Kali.
INDIAN OCEAN, INT RESEARCH VESSEL ANTARDIS
CHARLES:
Sir, Bertha's slowing down. Her rate of volcanic activity is decreasing.
FORSYTHE:
Come on, stay with me.
ABOVE INDIAN OCEAN
HENRY:
I have a shot!
MAGNUS:
Take it!
INDIAN OCEAN, INT RESEARCH VESSEL ANTARDIS
[The pulse from Henry's weapon hits the vessel and everyone collapses.]
EXT. - MUMBAI
RAVI:
He was here. People saw him only a few minutes ago.
KATE:
I know, I got the same story and something about a...
RAVI:
Dancing, and apparently, quite well.
KATE:
Will dancing? Pull our people back.
RAVI:
What?
KATE:
The dance, the rapati sungu. He's trying to reach Bertha. Get our people away from him.
RAVI:
[Speaks Hindi into radio.]
EXT. - MUMBAI
WILL:
It worked. You heard me.
KALI:
You summoned me.
WILL:
Kali... Please, stop what you're doing.
[Ravi and Kate rush into where Will is talking to Kali but stop and watch.]
WILL:
The makri is telling me that there is danger.
KALI:
You said your makri was taken from you.
WILL:
I know, but...I can still feel you. What you're doing...
KALI:
Is what I am asked to do.
WILL:
If you don't stop millions of people will die.
KALI:
Then they will die.
WILL:
But this herald...he doesn't respect you. He's only using you for his own gain.
KALI:
You are different?
WILL:
Yes! I respect you. Your power is incredible but killing innocent people is not what you're meant to do.
KALI:
I have heard this from other heralds in the past, a request for leniency, for mercy.
WILL:
People are stronger now. If you hurt them, they'll hurt you back.
KALI:
I only wish to be left alone.
ABOVE INDIAN OCEAN
MAGNUS:
What's Bertha doing now?
HENRY:
Scans indicate... She's inactive! I think it worked!
WEXFORD:
Magnus, did you hit the target?
MAGNUS:
She's quiet.
WEXFORD:
But still conscious?
MAGNUS:
Yes. We should be able to guide her back to her containment area. I'm heading back to the ship. We'll regroup for the next phase.
WEXFORD:
Understood.
INT. - LEAD SANCTUARY VESSEL
[Wexford takes off his radio.]
WEXFORD:
Captain... Deploy all depth charges to Bertha's position. Target her with everything we have. Right now.
CAPTAIN:
Yes, sir. Ready all ordnance. All charges, maximum depth.
CREW MEMBER:
All charges max depth. Aye, sir.
WEXFORD:
And cut off all Magnus' radio communications with the other ships.
EXT. - MUMBAI
KALI:
Why was I asked to make land?
WILL:
Oh, I don't know but you don't have to do what he says. Please...
KALI:
You danced well for me, Durga.
WILL:
[Laughing.] Well, I...I didn't have much of a choice. I had to get your attention, didn't I?
ABOVE INDIAN OCEAN
[Magnus has approached the ship in the helicopter.]
MAGNUS:
No! Depth charges? Terrance, what the hell are you doing?
[Magnus gets feedback.]
MAGNUS:
Damn it!
BOTTOM OF INDIAN OCEAN
[The depth charges explode around Bertha hurting her.]
EXT. - MUMBAI
[Kali suddenly clutches at her stomach and collapses.]
WILL:
What? What is it?
KALI:
You said you would leave me alone!
WILL:
What happened?
KALI:
You betrayed me!
[Kali's eyes have gone black and she looks at Will in anger. Will collapses in pain.]
[Ravi and Kate rush to Will.]
INT. - SANCTUARY LEAD VESSEL
[Magnus opens the hatch and enters in anger.]
MAGNUS:
What the hell are you playing at? She was calm!
WEXFORD:
We had a window of opportunity. It had to be done.
MAGNUS:
Captain, please escort Mr. Wexford to the brig pending my orders.
CAPTAIN:
With all respect, ma'am, I can't. I received a coded message on the secure Network frequency. Mr. Wexford...
WEXFORD:
...by unanimous consent you are hereby relieved of your command of the Sanctuary Network, effective immediately.
HENRY:
Dude, you cannot be serious.
WEXFORD:
Don't interfere... dude. I'm in charge of operations now. You're remanded to custody pending further disciplinary action.
MAGNUS:
You had this planned all along.
WEXFORD:
My orders were to take over if you failed and by letting Bertha live yet once again, you most certainly have. I'm sorry, Helen. You gave me no choice.
INDIAN OCEAN, INT RESEARCH VESSEL ANTARDIS
[Forsythe regains consciousness.]
INT. - LEAD SANCTUARY VESSEL
MAGNUS:
You have no idea what you've done.
WEXFORD:
I saved lives. I did what you refused to do.
[An alarm sounds throughout the ship.]
MAGNUS:
No, Terrance, this is what you've done!
[Magnus exits the bridge and looks out over the ocean.]
INDIAN OCEAN, INT RESEARCH VESSEL ANTARDIS
[Forsythe has moved to the deck of his vessel and is looking out over the ocean.]
FORSYTHE:
[Chuckling] Oh... Oh, she's mad.
ON NEWLY MADE ISLAND
