RECRUITER:

(low, conspiratorial)

Speaking of which... Mr. Wilson, Irepresent an organization that may beable to help. What if I told you we cancure your cancer? And what’s more, giveyou abilities most men only dream of?

WADE:

I’d say you sound like an infomercial.

And not a good infomercial, like SlapChop. More Shake-Weighty.

(jack-off motion)

RECRUITER:

The world needs extraordinary men. We

won’t just make you better. We’ll make

you better than better. A super-hero.

WADE:

I already tried the hero business. Let’s

just say it left a mark. The only chanceyou’ll see me again is if I hit ‘f***-

it.’

24 EXT./INT. GUADALAJARAN CLINIC WAITING ROOM - DAY - PAST 24

A DILAPIDATED, SKETCHY MEDICAL ‘CLINIC’ haunts the cityscapein GUADALAJARA, MEXICO.

WADE (V.O.)

For now, I’ll get through this with theone I love.

A sickly-looking WADE is on the final stop in his futile

quest to find a cure. DESPERATE. Among the MOST DESPERATE.

He sits in a pathetic muzak-filled WAITING ROOM. Wearing aSOMBRERO and clutching VANESSA’s hand. Her fingers areinterlaced in his, once perfectly manicured nails chewed tothe quick.

Vanessa is also wearing a SOMBRERO, and ANXIETY on her face.

Wade COUGHS SEVERELY, REPEATEDLY into a HANDKERCHIEF.

Wade turns to the sweet ELDERLY COUPLE sitting next to him,

ekes out a smile. The old man plays with some WORRY BEADS.

WADE:

(pulls out Spanish-Englishelectronic translator)

De donde eres?

ELDERLY WOMAN:

Boca Raton.

WADE:

Ah. The fancy part of Mexico.

ELDERLY MAN:

We’ve moved in with my son. To afford

the treatment.

Wade looks pained to hear this.

WADE:

Cancer? Sorry - ¿El Cáncer?

ELDERLY MAN:

Stage four.

WADE:

Toughest part of the Tour de France.

VANESSA:

Very hilly.

The elderly man gestures to the souvenir PATCHES sewn ontoWade’s ‘HELLO KITTY’ DUFFEL: CHECHNYA. CHINA. INDONESIA.

ELDERLY MAN:

Logging some frequent flier miles?

WADE:

(bone-weary)

Final stop on Desperation World Tour,

2016, which I believe was also the name

of the Stones’ last concert...

VANESSA:

‘Final’ because this is where we find the

cure.

A MOTHER and her stoic young SON sign in with the NURSEbehind the front desk. The boy has lost all his HAIR.

NURSE:

No cheques de viajero. No pesos. Cash.

Americano.

Wade grows upset as the mother counts out hard-earned CASH.

The boy reaches for a BOX filled with CHUPACHUPS (lollipops).

The nurse scolds:

NURSE (CONT’D)

Chupachups cuestan extra!

WADE (O.S.)

(angry)

Hey!

The nurse looks coldly at Wade. He stares back, eyes hard,

then gets up and lays a crumpled dollar on the counter.

WADE (CONT’D)

(ice cold)

It’s on me.

The nurse blinks, then stands, checking a CHART.

NURSE:

Señor... Abe Solomon?

ABE and his WIFE get up. The nurse motions for Mrs. Solomon

to stay in the waiting room.

ABE:

(to Wade and Vanessa)

Handsome couple. Good luck to you two.

Abe drops his WORRY BEADS. Wade bends to retrieve them, then

stands with effort and gently hands them to Abe.

WADE:

Good luck to you, Pops.

Wade sits back down, and his eyes find the LITTLE BOY: his

SUNKEN EYES. His MISSING HAIR. His LOLLIPOP, CLUTCHED like

the richest treasure.

Wade turns to look at Vanessa, who’s also staring at the boy.

Even though Vanessa is healthy, she, too, looks sick. No

makeup. Dirty hair. Dark circles under her eyes. When she

looks at Wade, it’s clear she, not he, most needs comfort.

Wade pulls Vanessa close and strokes her hair with atrembling hand. Abe disappears. Wade watches with a newlydark look of suspicion.

25 INT. OPERATING ROOM - DAY - PAST 25

ABE lies shirtless on an UNSANITARY operating table, a trayof RUSTY surgical KNIVES nearby.

A MAN with a pock-marked face stands over him in a white labcoat with blue-stitched cursive writing: ‘Dr. Delgado.’

DOCTOR:

Buenos días, Señor Abe.

‘Doctor’ Delgado pokes and prods with his fingers, as ifAbe’s mid-section is Play-Doh.

DOCTOR (CONT’D)

Voy a llegar dentro de tu cuerpo.

ABE:

I’m sorry. No hablo español, doc.

The doctor’s other hand dips below the table, comes updripping with something bloody. He kneeds at wrinkled skin

smearing the CHICKEN BLOOD across Abe’s flesh.

DOCTOR:

De que se cure! Señor Abe, you arecured.

The doctor holds SMELLING SALTS under Abe’s nose. His closed

eyes jerk open to see the doctor’s gloved hand CLUTCHING ahuge, bloody ‘TUMOR.’

Abe pushes himself up, peers down at his bloody abdomen with

awe. The doctor wipes the blood away and helps him up.

ABE:

(tearing up)

Thank you. I owe you my life.

As Abe shuffles out, the doctor turns away to dump the‘tumor’ in the trash and wash his bloody hands in a basin.

DOCTOR:

(over his shoulder)

¡Proximo! Next!

WADE (O.S.)

Already here, hombre.

Dr. Delgado nearly JUMPS at the sight of WADE, alreadystanding in the OPEN DOOR of the room, looking DANGEROUS.

DOCTOR:

So sorry, you surprise me. How...

long... you standing there, Señor?

Wade walks slowly TOWARD the doctor, who steps out nervouslyfrom BEHIND his table. The two stand face-to-face. Wade

smiles... angles his foot UNDER the OPERATING TABLE...

...and uses it to SLIDE something out from underneath thetable: a BUCKET of BLOODY CHICKEN GIZZARDS that double as

removed ‘tumors.’ Wade’s RAGE seems to grow by the INSTANT.

WADE:

Long enough...

Delgado senses he is suddenly in danger, picks up a rustySCALPEL from his tray. Wade moves toward him. DelgadoLUNGES, He STABS WADE in the shoulder, then RUNS.

Wade TACKLES him. In Wade’s weakened state, the fightbecomes an intense STRUGGLE. The two FALL and WRESTLE. The

BUCKET of GIZZARDS overturns. They roll around in slop.

The doctor squirms out of Wade’s grasp and crawls into thehallway. Wade wriggles after him, tugging at his ankle.

26 INT. WAITING ROOM / HALLWAY - SUNSET - PAST 26

The MUZAC still plays. VANESSA smiles warmly/sadly at thelittle BOY, who is unwrapping his CHUPACHUP.

Suddenly... a SCREAM and cries for help in Spanish. The

NURSE and an ALARMED VANESSA rush toward the shouting.

27 INT. HALLWAY - SUNSET - PAST 27

At last, WADE’s fury has overcome his physical weakness. He

straddles the DOCTOR’s CHEST. His expression is that of aman who’s LOSING his SH*T.

Wade RAISES THE SCALPEL, SLASHES at the doctor’s throat, then

STABS him in the heart. The doctor writhes, spasms, gurgles,

and falls still.

Chest heaving, Wade raises his head to see... at the FAR ENDof the HALL:

VANESSA - frozen, TERRIFIED. A blood-soaked Wade locks eyeswith her and swims back up into SANITY... ‘What have I done?’

This is a horrific glimpse into Wade’s murderous past...

...and the look on Vanessa’s face is one of HORROR and PAIN.
