INT. SCOTT'S OFFICE - DAY

Devereux stands before Scott's desk. Scott looks up at Devereux with a clearly incredulous expression.

SCOTT
You need to go where?

DEVEREUX
(calmly)
Florida. A few kilometers in the open ocean. (hands him the coordinates)

Scott looks at Devereux curiously. He takes the sheet and reads it. His expression indicates no particular recognition of the coordinates.

Scott enters something into his computer, pauses, and then stares back to Devereux with a surprised and bemused expression.

SCOTT
Never simple with you, is it, Christine?

DEVEREUX
(smiles)
Unfortunately. (frowns) Something wrong?

SCOTT
(taps screen)
The Bermuda Triangle?

Devereux looks confused.

SCOTT (CONT'D)
(chuckles)
They've solved all the great mysteries in your century, huh?

DEVEREUX
(genuinely confused)
I don't know what you're talking about, Scott.

Scott gestures her over and points to the screen.

DEVEREUX (CONT'D)
(shakes head)
It looks like a section of ocean.

Scott looks slightly frustrated.

SCOTT
There's tons of stuff written about it: missing planes, missing ships, strange weather patterns . . .

Devereux shakes her head.

SCOTT
(sighs)
Well, if someone else did see your engineer's escape pod splash down there, they might not be too surprised, then.

DEVEREUX
Why not?

SCOTT
(clearly exasperated)
Because a lot of strange stuff tends to happen there.

Scott looks at Devereux, seeing that she is definitely not understanding. After a moment, he shakes his head and turns his attention back to the screen.

SCOTT (CONT'D)
Okay, we need to figure out how to get to your engineer before someone does find him.
