--- which sail clear to the other side of the derrick ---

--- THOK! They hook tightly onto a steel girder.

Finn slides out ONTO THE WIRE like an acrobat, then expels

another cross-wire for support.

PROFESSOR ZUNDAPP

This is valuable equipment. Make

sure it is properly secured for the

voyage.

NOSY PACER:

You got it.

Finn LOWERS HIMSELF. He snaps more pictures.

GREM (O.S.)

Hey, Professor Z!

Zundapp turns as a CRANE LOWERS A CAR-SIZED CRATE. GREM and

ACER, an orange Gremlin and a green Pacer, flank it.

GREM:

This is one of those British spies

we told you about.

ACER:

Yeah. This one we caught sticking

his bumper where it didn't belong.

Finn PRODUCES SEMI-AUTOMATIC GUNS from his side, readies

himself for a tag-team spy fight with his buddy Leland.

PROFESSOR ZUNDAPP

Agent Leland Turbo.

The crate is lifted, revealing a CRUSHED, CUBED Leland Turbo.

Finn's eyes go wide. Suddenly --- WHOOOSHHH! Another derrick

flame rises behind him, casts a Finn-shaped SHADOW over the

Professor. He looks up.

5.

PROFESSOR ZUNDAPP

It's Finn McMissile! He's seen the

camera! Kill him!!

Finn UNLOADS with bullets as he starts to retreat --- He

STOPS:

BAD GUY CARS are waiting for him on the catwalk where he just

came from - BLOWTORCHES ready.

Finn, stuck in midair, notices an angry CRANE. Finn GRINS,

having just found his escape.

THWAPTHWAPTHWAP!!! Finn releases three of his four cables,

swinging, Indiana Jones-style on the last one TOWARD THE

CRANE ---

--- where he lands on its BOOM, drives UP and LAUNCHES OFF IT

where he LANDS - MOVING - onto another deck!

Finn now DRIVES, spraying oil and screeching around corners.

A GREMLIN in pursuit hits the oil patch, loses control ---

--- and PLUMMETS OFF the side of the rig!

The Gremlin FALLS... it's like an eternity...

He smashes into the water and breaks into a million pieces.

ON FINN - Now set upon by 20 or 30 MORE pursuing cars. He has

nowhere to go but UP UP UP a ramp toward the helipad. He

spies some GASOLINE BARRELS, fires a SINGLE BULLET which cuts

through its leather straps, sending barrels DOWN the ramp,

PAST FINN ---

--- PAST the pursuing CARS ---

--- to the bottom where they EXPLODE in a CHAIN REACTION back

UP THE RAMP, taking out at least 15 CARS!

ON THE HELIPAD - Finn blasts into view, pulls to a stop. No

more road. Nowhere else to go.

The 20 BAD GUY CARS that are still in pursuit surround him,

fire up their blowtorches. About to pounce.

Finn GRINS. The second time we've seen this grin. It means

he's got something cooking.

Finn's REVERSE LIGHTS appear. He DRIVES BACKWARD off the edge

of the helipad to the SHOCK of the other cars.

Finn falls. He turns himself so he's grill first, cleanly

cutting into the water.

6.

He EMERGES, now sprouting HYDROFOIL and speeds away.

GREM:

(NONPLUSSED)

Get to the boats.

THE BOATS - an army of combat ships quickly DROP into the sea

and CHURN WATER with unprecedented fury as they quickly make

up the distance between them and Finn, FIRING BULLETS as they

do so.

ACER:

He's getting away!

COMBAT SHIP:

Not for long.

The LEAD COMBAT SHIP quietly drops a TORPEDO into the water.

It skips along, connecting with Finn in his rear and

EXPLODING with such force that water skyrockets into the

night clouds.

UNDERWATER - McMissile SINKS. Then, he blinks. He GRINS.

We're starting to like this grin and what follows it. He now

CONVERTS into a submarine. From his trunk he releases four

DECOY tires which float to the surface like body parts.

ON THE DERRICK - Professor Zundapp watches it all from far

away.

GREM (OVER RADIO)

He's dead, Professor.

PROFESSOR ZUNDAPP

Wunderbar. With Finn McMissile

gone, who can stop us now?

EXT. RADIATOR SPRINGS - DAY

TOW MATER, a rusty tow truck, putters into view.

MATER:

Mater. Tow Mater, that's who... is

here to help you!

He approaches a broken-down sedan on the side of the road. He

drives around to the front, catching OTIS' face for the first

time.

MATER:

Hey, Otis!

7.

OTIS:

Hey, Mater. Gosh, I'm so sorry. I

thought I could make it this time,

but...

(he tries to start his

engine, stalls)

Smooth like pudding, huh? Ah, who

am I kidding? I'll always be a
