## Captain Miller

* God help us.
* [after watching the original crew's final chaotic log] We're leaving.

## Dr. Weir

* You can't leave...she won't let you.
* Where we're going, we won't need eyes to see.
* Do you see?

## Others

* Lt Cmdr D.J.: (after playing a recording of the ship's log) I thought it said libera te me, save me. But it's not me. It's liberate tute me—save yourself. And it gets worse. (Plays recording) There. I think that says ex inferis. Save yourself... from hell.

## Dialogue

    Starck: Black Hole - the most destructive force in the universe - and you have created one?
    Weir: Absolutely, yes! Because we can use that immense power to bend space-time—look, it would take the Lewis and Clark a thousand years to reach the nearest star. The Event Horizon could be there in a day!
    Starck: If it worked ...
    Weir: [Descending to the black hole generator] You can come down, it is perfectly safe!
    [after watching the Event Horizon's horrific final log entry]
    Miller: We're leaving.
    Weir: No, we can't leave. Our orders are specific.
    Miller: Rescue the crew, salvage what's left of the ship. The crew is dead, doctor. Your ship killed them.
    Weir: We came here to do a job—
    Miller: We're aborting, Doctor! Starck, download the files from the Event Horizon computers. DJ, I want you to get Justin prepped and move him back to the Clark.
    DJ: There's stuff I want to get from Medical. I've got to move him into a tank.
    Miller: Not a problem. Do it. Peters, I want you to get the CO2 scrubbers back into the Clark. Take Smitty with you.
    Weir: Captain... don't do this.
    Miller: It's done.
    Weir: What about my ship? You can't just leave her!
    Miller: I have no intention of leaving her, Doctor. I will take the Lewis and Clark to a safe distance and then I'll launch TAC missiles at the Event Horizon until I'm satisfied she's vaporized. Fuck this ship!
    [Weir tries to grab Miller, who shoves him back; the lights shut off]
    Starck: [over intercom] Captain Miller, the bio-scan just went off the scale. It looks like the core is draining power from the rest of the ship.
    Miller: [into intercom] Get the files. Vacate. I want off this ship.
    Weir: You can't leave. She won't let you.
    Miller: You just get your gear and get back on the Lewis and Clark, Doctor, or you'll find yourself walking home.
    Weir: I am home.
    Weir: I created the Event Horizon to reach the stars, but she's gone much, much farther than that. She tore a hole in our universe, a gateway to another dimension. A dimension of pure chaos. Pure... evil. When she crossed over, she was just a ship. But when she came back... she was alive! Look at her, Miller. Isn't she beautiful?
    Miller: Your "beautiful" ship killed its crew, Doctor.
    Weir: Well... now she has another crew. Now she has us.
    Miller: [realizing who it actually was] Weir?
    Weir: [cold, dark laughter] The ship brought me back. I told you she won't let me leave. She won't let anyone leave. Did you really think you could destroy this ship? She's defied space and time. She's been to a place you couldn't possibly imagine. And now, it is time to go back.
    Miller: I know. To Hell.
    Weir: You know nothing. Hell is only a word. The reality is much, much worse. [grasps Miller's head] Now let me show you!
    [Miller is subjected to visions of his crew being horrifically tortured and killed]
    Miller: NO! No...!
    Weir: You see?
    Miller: [gasping] No... they're not dead! They're not... dead...!
    Weir: Not yet.
    Miller: [beating Weir with a CO2 scrubber] YOU! WON'T! TAKE! MY! CREW!
    [Weir disarms and viciously beats Miller]
    Weir: They're not your crew anymore. They belong to the ship.
    Ship voice: Gateway opening.
    Miller: Take me. You take me, you leave them alone!
    Weir: No. There is no escape. The gateway is open, and you are all coming with me!
    [Miller is forced to see more visions]
    Weir: Do you see? Do you see?! DO YOU SEE?!
    Miller: [grabs detonator] Yes, I see. [activates it]
    Weir: [screaming in terror, denied the other surviving crewmembers] NOOOOOOOOOO!!!
