He moves toward the back PIT DOOR, is about to open it.

OUTSIDE THE PITS - ACER and another Pacer approach McQueen's

pit door on the other side. Ready to pounce. The doors OPEN,

REVEALING ---

--- Finn, holding a fire extinguisher.

ACER:

Finn McMissile? But you're dead!

FINN:

Then this shouldn't hurt at all.

He empties the extinguisher in their eyes, speeds past. They

try and follow, but have been blinded. One of them crashes

right into a COP.

ON FINN - Already on the move, along a side street.

FINN:

Miss Shiftwell?

ON HOLLEY - Tracking everything on a grid map. Mater looks

like Pac Man, weaving through the streets as bad guys close

in all around him.

HOLLEY:

I've got him in the back alleys

east of the garages. Multiple

assailants are closing in quickly.

FINN (OVER RADIO)

Keep him moving. I'm on my way.

ON MATER - He turns a corner, sees a flower shop.

49.

MATER:

Hey, new lady friend? You like

flowers?

ON THE TRACK - McQueen, hearing this, is taken aback.

MCQUEEN:

What?

ON MATER - Slowing at the flower shop.

HOLLEY (OVER RADIO)

No! Don't go 'in' anywhere. Just

keep moving.

MATER:

Stay outside. Gotcha.

ON THE TRACK:

MCQUEEN:

Outside?

McQueen drifts outside allowing Francesco to slip past!

FRANCESCO:

Grazie and arrivaderci!

DARRELL CARTRIP (V.O.)

I cannot believe what I just saw,

Brent. That was a bonehead move.

You don't open up the inside like

that!

IN THE BACK ALLEYS - As Mater moves on he's followed by

Pacers and Gremlins. Suddenly ---

--- CABLES whip in front of them, pulling over flower vending

machines and sending the shop's owners into a frenzy. They

direct their attention to the AMCs, who try and explain.

ON FINN, admiring his handiwork as he appears. Just as he

turns to leave he's BROADSIDED and pushed INTO A DARK ALLEY.

IN THE ALLEY - Finn finds himself boxed by two Pacers and

pushed toward ---

--- ACER, who now holds a FLAME THROWER.

ACER:

This time I'm gonna make sure you

stay dead.

He hits the flame. WHOOOSSSH!!

50.

ON ANOTHER STREET - Mater clicks along, still looking for

Holley. Just as he passes the alley entrance where Finn

stares down death:

HOLLEY (OVER RADIO)

You're doing brilliantly. Now just

stay focused.

MATER:

What's that? You want me to head

toward that ruckus?

Mater turns INTO the alley.

HOLLEY (OVER RADIO)

No! Don't go down that street!

IN THE ALLEY - Finn, now nearly pushed completely into the

flame thrower, leaps into the air. He FIGHTS BACK, using his

wheels, axle, indeed his entire car frame as if he were

human, kicking and tossing and shooting his enemies.

Mater witnesses the whole thing.

MATER:

Wow! A live karate demonstration!

ON THE TRACK - McQueen, now playing catch-up again, scowls.

MCQUEEN:

Stop it, Mater. Just sign off.

IN THE BACK ALLEY - Finn polishes off the AMCs by firing a

bullet into a gas main line, causing an EXPLOSION that tosses

Acer through the air where he lands in a NOODLE SHOP'S SIGN.

ON THE TRACK - The end of the race is nigh ---

BRENT MUSTANGBURGER (V.O.)

They're bumper to bumper as they

approach the finish line!

The Formula car gets there first.

BRENT MUSTANGBURGER (V.O.)

Francesco's the winner, McQueen's

number two!

IN THE ALLEY - Finn heaves breaths, surveys his damage.

MATER:

That was cool! Hey, can I get your

autograph?

51.

Mater approaches when a MASS OF RACE FANS burst out a door,

momentarily blocking Mater's view of Finn. Once the fans have

past, Finn has disappeared.

MATER:

Hey, where'd he go?

HOLLEY (OVER RADIO)

Our rendezvous has been

jeopardized. Keep the device safe.

We'll be in touch.

MATER:

Dadgum, did I miss our date?

EXT. PRESS STAGE - LATER

Post race press conference. Francesco is center stage.

DARRELL CARTRIP:

Francesco, over here! Hey, what was

your strategy today?

FRANCESCO:

Strategia? Francesco needs no
