Final Shooting - 8/23/2016 36.

CHARLES:

...My Lord.

BACK TO LAURA AS --THE FEDERALES LUNGE AT HER and, sadly for

them, Laura leaps in the air and becomes a whirling dervish

of death. Limbs and weapons sliced from her attackers like a

topiary. Guns fire to no effect as Laura evades the shots.

This little girl has been created, designed and trained for

one thing and one thing only: killing. And she’s a virtuoso.

This wave dispatched, LAURA FLEES, HIDES BEHIND THE CATWALK

SUPPORTS. The armed Federales hunt for her among the supports

and she starts picking them off, one by one, with her blades

and even with their own guns.

Suddenly, Laura is pinned against a concrete wall by A MUSCLE

BOUND REAVER. With an acrobatic move, she boots him in the

nuts and leaps over him, manages to run as-

PRETTY BOY FIRES THE HARPOON GUN, retracts the cable and pins

her to the ground. REAVERS AND FEDERALES SURROUND HER and

PRETTY BOY is about to put on the restraints when-

SNIKT! -- LOGAN GUTS PRETTY BOY FROM BEHIND-- AND ENGAGES THE

OTHERS as Laura pulls the harpoon from her side and runs.

Laura is grabbed by THREE MORE REAVERS, WHO RESTRAIN HER AND

STARTS TO DRAG HER AWAY -- BUT, SNIKT! -

TWO ADAMANTIUM FOOT CLAWS EMERGE FROM HER FEET dragging on

the concrete, making a ringing sound, like chalk on a black

board and -- suddenly -- with a double scissor-kick -- she

stabs one Reaver in the thigh and the other in the throat,

her gleaming foot claw sticking out the back of his neck.

Logan stares, slack-jawed. Then notices--

PIERCE AND ANOTHER REAVER are moving on the limo, about to

take Charles. Logan tosses them back and--

INT./EXT. LIMO - ABANDONED SMELTING PLANT - CONTINUOUS

Logan drops behind the wheel, watching through the windshield

as Laura takes on six or seven more hostiles.

CHARLES:

(drunk with the meds)

...As I said, Logan, she’s a

mutant... Like you. Very much like

you, in fact.

Logan grimly starts the engine.

Final Shooting - 8/23/2016 37.

CHARLES (CONT’D)

Where are we going?

Logan ignores Charles as he put the limo in gear, gaining

speed, and then-- MAKES A HARD U-TURN AND -

WHAM! PLOWS INTO THE FEDERALES AND LAURA (WHO JUMPS ON THE

HOOD TO AVOID IMPACT).

Logan accelerates again, Laura clinging to the hood. Logan

punches a button, opening the sunroof as gunfire starts to

hit their limo.

Laura leaps into the limo. Charles smiles at her, pleased and

seemingly oblivious to the gunfire:

CHARLES (CONT’D)

Laura!

As they take a hard turn, a side window shatters and LAURA

INSTINCTIVELY SHIELDS CHARLES FROM THE BULLETS.

LAURA GETS HIT AND matter of factly sucks the slug out of her

arm and spits it on the seat like Lee Marvin.

Logan meets eyes with Charles in his rear view. And that’s

when they are hit with A BARRAGE OF BULLETS-

WIDER -- SMELTING PLANT

THE FEDERALES HAVE LEAPT INTO THEIR JEEPS and fire at Logan’s

limo as they spin out in the dirt, in pursuit.

Disgusted, Pierce also gets behind the wheel and leads his

Reavers in the opposite direction.

THE PLANT GATE BLOCKED BY THE ARMADA OF VEHICLES, Logan

drives straight at the chainlink fence-- and we prepare for a

classic action movie fence smash.

LOGAN:

Hold on!

BUT THE LIMO HITS THE FENCE, BENDS THE SUPPORTS AND GRINDS TO

A PATHETIC HALT, TANGLED IN MESH. As it would in real life.

Federales open fire at the limo as Logan guns the engine in

reverse, trying to get traction on the dirt. Other Federales

speed toward them on motorcycles.

Under massive fire, bullet-riddled, Logan’s limo finds

purchase, and he’s backing out at high speed, ripping a long

section of chain link from its posts and dragging this “tail”

with him (driving backwards now).

Final Shooting - 8/23/2016 38.

LOGAN SWERVES HARD AND THE CHAIN LINK “TAIL” SWINGS OUT AND

WIPES OUT THE REAVER BIKES. One of the riders tumbles and

grabs onto the chain link tail, the limo dragging him.

The Reaver claws his way along the chain link toward the hood

of the car, drawing his gun, firing at the windshield.

Logan ducks and spins the car around. The dragging fence

swings wide, LOSING THE REAVER ON THE FENCE.

Pierce angrily peels his truck in another direction.

Logan sees the main gate ahead. As he guns for it, he notices

THE FLASHING RED TRAIN-WARNING LIGHTS at the loading dock.

TWO FEDERALE JEEPS reach the sides of the limo, guns aimed

squarely at Logan. Laura and Charles react as-

Logan steers the limo through a series of concrete structures

FORCING THE JEEPS INTO VIOLENT COLLISIONS.

Logan guns his limo into-

EXT. OPEN DESERT - DAY

LOGAN’S LIMO RACES FROM THE PLANT GROUNDS, APPROACHING--

A HULKING FREIGHT TRAIN arriving quickly from parallel

tracks. The train is moving faster than the limo.

Logan makes a hard left, cranking the wheel just clipping the

front corner of Pierce’s truck, spinning toward the tracks.

THE TRAIN HAS ALMOST CAUGHT UP WITH THEM AS-THE

LIMO PLOWS STRAIGHT INTO THE SIDE OF A FEDERALE TRUCK

which gets squeezed between the limo and train. Sparks fly.

LOGAN SPINS THE WHEEL, PUSHING THE TRUCK (and the Federale

Commander in it) INTO THE PATH OF THE TRAIN AS-LOGAN

GUNS HIS LIMO ACROSS THE TRACKS ITS REAR END PINGED BY

THE LOCOMOTIVE-- AND THE FEDERALE TRUCK OBLITERATED.

LOGAN’S LIMO COMES TO A STOP ON THE OTHER SIDE. Logan looks

back through the moving freight cars at-Pierce

and the remaining Reavers, stuck until it passes.

It’s a long train.

EXT./INT. LIMO - RURAL HIGHWAY - DAY

Logan’s battered limo racing at 120 mph.

Final Shooting - 8/23/2016 39.

Logan’s eyes darting to his rearview, peeled for any sign of

Reavers. He glances back at -LAURA,

beside Charles, her gaze fixed out the window.

LOGAN:

Who the f*** are you?

Laura slowly turns, acknowledging Logan’s existence.

CHARLES:

You know who she is, Logan.

LOGAN:

No. I don’t.

CHARLES:

Does she remind you of anybody?

Laura holds Logan’s glare with her own equally hard look.

Logan flares, peers tensely back out the windshield as he

takes a hard turn.

EXT. ABANDONED SMELTING PLANT - MORNING

Donald Pierce steps over a mangled Reaver as the remaining

“soldiers” clean up after the fight.

PIERCE:

Leave nothing behind fellas. We

were not here!

He walks toward the main building, then looks back.

PIERCE (CONT’D)

Bring me the tracker.

INT. SMELTING PLANT KITCHEN - MORNING

Pierce steps inside and takes in the room. Picks up the RED

SLICKER on the chair. Finds her ball in the pocket.

He turns as the DOOR IS OPENED and A SERIOUSLY INJURED

CALIBAN is carried inside and shoved into a chair. He’s

hooked up to an IV, his head is covered with a HOOD.

Pierce rips off the hood and slaps Caliban’s battered face.

PIERCE:

Wakey wakey.

Caliban blinks his pale eyes open. Pierce sits down across

from him and smiles.

Final Shooting - 8/23/2016 40.
