But the three of them stunned to see the flames unaffected. Spreading. Smoke everywhere now -- DRAKE What kind of fire will not be doused!? REID The nitrates. They’re flammable. DRAKE - realising the horror of their predicament now -- DRAKE Then everything dies here. All evidence. JACKSON All the men who know of it. Fire - terrifying, rampant. Gelatin plates pop and crackle as they’re swallowed. REID, DRAKE and JACKSON forced further back from it, choking on the NOXIOUS FUMES. REID - casting about him, looking for something, anything to get them out of this. Scans the shelves of chemicals and compounds that line the basement walls. An idea forming, he shouts to DRAKE now -- REID Give me your arm! DRAKE - confused, doing as he’s bid. REID - ripping at each sleeve of his jacket, removing two squares of material. JACKSON (beginning to get it) Oh Reid. REID The door. Clear out the space between its hinges. The same directly opposite. DRAKE The steel is five inches thick, Mr. Reid. It’ll never give. REID Do it, Sergeant. DRAKE needs no further encouragement. Grabs a metal spatula. Goes to work on the doorway.
