Okja Page #9

Mundo starts RUNNING in the direction of Okja.

MUNDO (CONT'D)

(Over his shoulder to Kim)

Then you’d better start showingsome LOYALTY to this COMPANY! And

THIS IS WHAT COMPANY LOYALTY LOOKS

LIKE!

42.

As Mundo proudly yells this he loses his footing and SLAMSinto a PARKED CAR - knocking himself UNCONSCIOUS.

EXT. UNDERPASS EXIT - MINUTES LATER

The point where the underpass joins the open road. Okja runsat full speed with Mija on her back while the black semichases them, quickly closing the gap. The Uniformed Employeesbelatedly join the chase carrying tranquilizer guns. Mundoholds onto his head as he tags along.

MUNDO:

(to the Uniformed

Employees)

Hurry your asses up! Whoever gets

them first, I'll recommend for a

permanent contract! With full

welfare benefits! No bullshit!

The Uniformed Employees consider this, and look at each otherawkwardly. But only momentarily as they start running at fullspeed.

We see police cars approaching from across the intersectionwith sirens blaring. Mija quickly changes direction and ridesOkja toward an underground passage.

INT. UNDERGROUND PASSAGE / UNDERGROUND SHOPPING CENTER

Okja enters the passage and stumbles down the concrete steps.

She’s never climbed stairs before and is anxious about it.

PEDESTRIANS scream and scatter at the sight of the giant pig.

MIJA:

Sorry... Get out of the way!!

The Suit, the Jacket, and a few of the black assailants

follow Okja into the underground. The Pedestrians panic evenmore at the sight of threatening men in ski masks. TheUniformed Employees follow in with tranquilizer guns, addingto the pandemonium.

INT. UNDERGROUND SHOPPING CENTER - CONTINUOUS

SHOPPERS and SHOP OWNERS scream in horror. Shoes, makeup,

clothes and mannequins are blasted into the air as Okja blows

past.

A PART-TIME STUDENT dressed as a PINK PIG distributes flyersin front of a newly opened snack bar decorated with colorfulballoons. Dance music blares in the background.

43.

He sees the enormous pig hurtling toward him. He beginsrunning for his life - the huge pig face still over his head.

As he runs, he desperately fishes for an angle with hissmartphone - trying to film a video of Okja and himself.

As Okja makes a sudden turn, her foot gets caught in aclothing rack jutting out of the corner. She falls on top ofglass plates displayed before the adjacent store. A loudCRASH. Mija is thrown off Okja's back, landing head first onthe floor.

The Jacket breaks from his group and rushes to Mija's side,

propping her up. Mija looks dazed from the impact.

JACKET:

Hey! You okay?

The Suit turns around to see Uniformed Mirando Employeesaiming their tranquilizer guns at Okja!

He picks up one of the panels displayed in front of thenearby frame shop. The tranquilizer dart flies through theair and sticks on the panel. THUNK. The other assailants also

pick up panels, and the subsequent barrage of darts all fallon panels printed with the images of celebrities.

While the Uniformed Employees hurriedly reload their guns,

the Suit gives a quick hand signal to his group. The blackassailants begin charging toward the Employees liketerrorists in an ambush.

The Suit calmly walks over to the injured Okja and grabs herankle. He is caring as he touches Okja, having a natural easearound animals. He immediately locates the broken piece ofglass lodged in Okja's foot. He quickly and painlessly plucksit out - like when Mija removed the chestnut bur from Okja'sfoot back in the mountains.

Mija watches, impressed.

MIJA:

Who are you guys?

INT. UNDERPASS - CONTINUOUS

KIM:

ALF... Animal Liberation Front?

Kim searches 'A.L.F.' on the Google browser of his

smartphone. He looks at the spray-painted "A.L.F" on thefront of the Mirando truck.

44.

INT. UNDERGROUND SHOPPING CENTER

Instead of answering, the Jacket lifts his t-shirt and shows

Mija a TATTOO - a balaclava-wearing, angel-winged AnimalLiberation Front member embracing a lamb in his arms.

Mija stares blankly at the tattoo as POLICEMEN come runningfrom the opposite end of the passage with tear gas gunsdrawn.

The group - along with Okja and Mija - stand and run. Thepolice give chase.

The Jacket sees a passage that leads to a garage. He directsthe other members towards it and shouts into the phone.

JACKET:

Underground garage! Zone 3!

INT. UNDERGROUND GARAGE - CONTINUOUS

The group bolt out of the door just as the black semi speedstoward them from the opposite side.

The back doors of the trailer are already open and Mija jumpsin first. She gives a sign to Okja, who climbs in with greatdifficulty. The A.L.F. members push Okja's behind with their

combined strength. Again, ONE seems frailer than the others.

Once Okja is inside, the Assailants climb aboard.

The Police finally arrive and haphazardly fire their tear gasguns, but to no avail. The black semi speeds away, the backdoors still swinging open, the policemen running patheticallyafter them.

Suddenly a man squeezes through the group of Policemen andleaps to the front with tremendous speed. It is none otherthan MUNDO, with the UNIFORMED MIRANDO EMPLOYEES runningbehind him.

Mundo chases the semi with fierce determination. The A.L.F.

members watch with mild curiosity.

Okja suddenly bends her body and perks up her ears as sheturns to Mija. Mija stares in disbelief.

MIJA:

Now?

Mija sighs.

45.

MIJA (CONT'D)

Well, I guess you've been holdingit in for a long time.

Mija gives Okja the sign.

Okja begins pooping. The scale is beyond epic.

Her tail spins like a propeller as she unleashes a veritable'sh*t storm.' Mundo has nearly closed the gap when he'sBOMBARDED with countless pieces of sh*t.

Two A.L.F. members look on as Mundo cries in horror.

A.L.F. MEMBER 1

I never tire of the way they sh*t.

A.L.F. MEMBER 2

Could watch it all day.

The black semi reaches the exit. It smashes through the gate -

leaving Mundo a dejected sh*t-covered blob in the distance.

INT. TRAILER - CONTINUOUS

Mija hugs Okja's face tightly. The A.L.F. members - still in

their ski-masks - watch them.

MIJA:

(Whispering)

I'll never leave you again.

JACKET:

(Translating)

I'll never leave you again.

MIJA:

I’m taking you back to themountains.

JACKET:

(Translating)

I’m taking you back to themountains.

Mija glances suspiciously at the Black Assailants in theirski-masks.

FEMALE A.L.F. MEMBER

Stop with the creepiness, K.

JACKET:

What? I’m not being creepy.

46.

FEMALE A.L.F. MEMBER

You don’t think that’s creepy?

Translating everything she’s sayingin your balaclava and your eerieman’s voice?

JACKET:

(Thinly)

The mission is no longer as we’dplanned it because the girl showedup so I’m providing the team withunfolding intel. And BY THE WAY.

This isn’t my “eerie man’s voice”.

It’s my VOICE.

SUIT:

(With quiet authority)

Shhh!

The bickering A.L.F. members dutifully shut up. The Suit

walks over to Mija. He crouches to her eye-level and takesoff his balaclava. He is JAY - good-looking, serious (30s).
