The Catacombs Breakaway Lost Scenes


This is scene 67, after Koenig has crashed at Disposal Area One. After being checked by Helena by Medical he returns to Main Mission. This short scene is immediately followed by the scene in the Command Office where Bergman announces "This instrument has given me a lead"
The final line about the flight pattern is not in the script. It seems to be Ouma, using an American voice.

Crew: "One fifty eight take one. Action." Koenig: "Sandra. I want Area One continuously monitored."
Sandra: "The new instruments are installed and the heat level is decreasing steadily. Also, everything checks out at Area Two."
Koenig: "That's good news."
Bergman and Helena enter Main Mission. "Ah John, can we go to your office? I've asked Dr. Russell to join us. It's important."
Ouma: "Paul. Would you punch up the difference on that flight pattern. I want to see it on the board."
Paul: "Sure."

This is scene 68, in the Command Office.

Crew: "Standby".
Crew: "Seventy four take one".
Crew: "Action".
Bergman: "This instrument's given me a lead. I think we're facing a new effect, arising from the atomic waste deposited here over the years. Magnetic energy outputs of unprecedented violence."
Koenig: "Magnetic energy responsible for the flare up at Area One?"
Bergman: "Mmm".
Helena: "Magnetic energy causing the brain damage?"
Bergman: "Something we didn't even think to check for, but... I believe it was a sudden surge in magnetic field that wrecked your flight navigation system and ..."
Some loud throat clearing. "Once more." "Still running." "Seventy four take two." "Action."
Bergman: "This instrument's given me a lead. I think we're facing a new effect, arising from the atomic waste deposited here over the years."
"Still running." "Seventy four take three." "Action."
Bergman: "This instrument's given me a lead. I think we're facing a new situation, arising from the atomic waste deposited here over the years."
Crew: "I'm sorry, there's so much choice over that..."
"Standby. Mark it." "Seventy four take four." "Action."
Bergman: "This instrument's given me a lead. I think we're facing a new effect, arising from the atomic waste deposited here over the years. Magnetic energy outputs of unprecedented violence."
Koenig: "Magnetic energy responsible for the flare up..." (Bergman says "yep") "... at Area One?"
Bergman: "Mmm".
Landau: "Well I didn't hear it..." "Standby. Mark it." "Seventy four take five." "Action."
Bergman: "This instrument's given me a lead. I think we're facing a new effect, arising from the atomic waste deposited here over the years. Magnetic energy outputs of unprecedented violence."
Koenig: "Magnetic energy responsible for the flare up at Area One?"
Helena: "Magnetic ... Jesus, I can't believe it. Mmmm. My fault."
"Still running." "Seventy four take six." "Action."
Bergman: "This instrument's given me a lead. I think we're facing a new effect, arising from the atomic waste deposited here over the years. Magnetic energy outputs of unprecedented violence."
Koenig: "Magnetic energy responsible for the flare up at Area One?"
Helena: "Magnetic energy causing the brain damage?"
Bergman: "Something we didn't even think to check for, but I believe it was a sudden surge in magnetic field that wrecked your flight navigation system and blanked out the astronauts' flight recorder."
Koenig: "The astronauts flew over there daily as did ...Collins and the shuttle."
Helena: "But then we've all been exposed to it. We've all been to Area Two; to get the pilot turns over Area One. It could be a cumulative effect."
Bergman: "And there's a bigger problem I see looming up. Area One burned itself out in a magnetic sub-surface firestorm. What worries me now is that the same thing seems to be happening in Area Two." Koenig: "How much time do we have?"
Bergman: "We need solid data on magnetic levels."
Koenig takes his commlock. "Pass emergency code Alpha One."
Female operative (off screen): "Alpha One Commander? Please verify."
Koenig: "Yes, Alpha One, that's what I said. Verify."
Director: "Cut. Print. Very nice. Very good."
Koenig (voice indistinct) "... Alpha One."
Operative: "Alpha One Commander? Please verify."
Koenig: "Alpha One, that's what I said. Verify."
Director: "Cut. Print. Much better, Barbara. I liked the whole thing. Oh yes."

More takes for scene 68, in the Command Office. At the start of the tape, this seems to be a close up of Bergman (who is heard clearly while Landau is indistinct). Morse stumbles over the word "magnetic".

Bergman: "There's a bigger problem I see looming up. Area One burned itself out in a magnetic sub-surface firestorm. What worries me now is that the same thing seems to be happening in Area Two." Koenig: "How much time do we have?"
Bergman: "We need solid data on magnetic levels." Morse says "I'll play that line again."
Koenig: "How much time do we have?"
"We need solid data on magnetic levels. I'll read it again."
"We need solid data on magnetic levels. I'll be alright. Encore une fois."
"We need solid data on magnetic levels."
Crew: "Seventy eight take one." Koenig: "How much time do we have?"
"We need solid data on magnetic levels. "
Crew: "Seventy eight take two." "Action" Koenig: "How much time do we have?"
"We need solid data on magnetic levels."
Koenig takes his commlock. The female operative answers "Yes sir." The crew laugh at something. Crew: "Seventy eight take three." "Action" Koenig: "How much time do we have?"
"We need solid data on magnetic levels."
Operative: "Yes, sir." Koenig: "Pass emergency code Alpha One."
Operative: "Alpha One Commander? Please verify."
Koenig: "Alpha One, that's what I said. Verify."
"Cut"
Crew: "Seventy eight take four." "Action" Koenig: "How much time do we have?"
Bergman: "We need solid data on maglet... uh...."
Koenig: "How much time do we have?"
"We need solid data on magnetic levels."
Crew: "Seventy eight take five." "Action" Koenig: "How much time do we have?"
"We need solid data on magnetic levels."
Operative: "Yes, sir." Koenig: "Pass emergency code Alpha One."
Operative: "Alpha One Commander? Please verify."
Koenig: "Alpha One, that's what I said. Verify."
"Cut. One more."
Crew: "Seventy eight take six." "Action" Koenig: "How much time do we have?"
"We need solid data on magnetic levels."
"Cut"
Crew: "Seventy eight take seven." "Action" Koenig: "How much time do we have?"
"We need solid data on magnetic levels."
Operative: "Yes, sir." Koenig: "Pass emergency code Alpha One."
Operative: "Alpha One Commander? Please ..."
Koenig (interrupts): "Alpha One, that's what I said. Verify."
"Cut. One more." "You cut her off."
Crew: "Seventy eight take eight." "Action" Koenig: "How much time do we have?"
"We need solid data on magnetic levels."
Operative: "Yes, sir." Koenig: "Pass emergency code Alpha One."
Crew voices heard.
Landau: "I haven't said anything yet, why cut?" Crew: "Seventy eight take nine." "Action" Landau whispers: "What's my line?"
Bain: "How much time..."
Landau: "How much time we got?"
Morse: "Mmm?"
Landau: "How much time we got?"
Bain: "Yeah."
Crew: "Ready. Action."
Koenig: "How much... how much time do we have?"
"We need solid data on magnetic levels."
Operative: "Yes, sir." Koenig: "Pass emergency code Alpha One."
Operative: "Alpha One Commander? Please verify."
Koenig: "Alpha One, that's what I said. Verify."
"Cut. Very good. Print."
