Thor: Ragnarok Page #8

-Hela advances confidently, DESTROYS the SHIPS and SOARS INTO

THE EINHERJAR! In a symphony of spectacular terror, Hela

proceeds to DECIMATE the entire regiment. A tornado of

carnage, a legendary massacre.

27 EXT. BELOW THE RAINBOW BRIDGE - SAME 27

While Hela slaughters up above, we tilt up from a boat,

moored at the base of the Observatory, to see the mysterious

figure from earlier is now SCALING the rocks towards the top.

28 INT. THE OBSERVATORY - CONTINUOUS 28

Now silhouetted in the entrance way, the figure scans the

Observatory. His gaze falls on-

-Bi-Frost's controls. Specifically Heimdall's sword.

29 EXT. OUTSKIRTS OF ASGARD - CONTINUOUS 29

It's eerily quiet. CLOSE on Hela scanning the battlefield.

100+ slain Einherjar at her feet.

ANGLE on Skurge as he steps forward - awe, admiration, fear.

HELA:

Oh, I've missed this. Still, it's

a shame. Good soldiers dying for

nothing...all because they couldn't

see the future. Sad.

(then she sees:
)

Oh! Look, still alive.

Reveal Hogun, severely injured but staggering to his feet,

resilient.

HELA (CONT'D)

Change of heart?

Hogun draws a dagger as a last ditch attack.

HOGUN:

Go back to whatever cave you crept

out of you evil demoness!

Hela IMPALES Hogun on a spike. She turns to Skurge.

HELA:

Let's go see my palace.

Skurge stares at Hogun before following Hela towards the

palace.

A32 INT. DARK TUNNEL - DAY A32

THOR, strapped to the chair, suddenly finds himself slowly

moving forward. After a beat-

-the walls LIGHT UP and a SOOTHING VOICE speaks to him.

SOOTHING VOICE (V.O.)

Fear not, for you are found. You

are home, and there is no going

back. No one leaves this place.

Thor STRUGGLES against his restraints.

BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 32.

SOOTHING VOICE (V.O.)

But what is this place? The answer

in Sakaar.

The tunnel walls show images of Sakaar's place in the Cosmos.

SOOTHING VOICE (V.O.)

Surrounded by cosmic gateways,

Sakaar lives on the edge of the

known and unknown.

Images of the wormholes that cover Sakaar's atmosphere.

SOOTHING VOICE (V.O.)

It is the collection point for all

lost and unloved things. Like you.

But here on Sakaar, you are

significant. You are valuable.

Here, you are loved.

THOR:

What...the hell?

SOOTHING VOICE (V.O.)

And no one loves you more than the

Grandmaster.

Images of the Grandmaster, in silhouette, arriving on Sakaar.

SOOTHING VOICE (V.O.)

He is the original. The first

lost, and the first found. The

creator of Sakaar and the father of

the Contest of Champions.

Images of the arena where aliens battle to the death.

SOOTHING VOICE (V.O.)

Where once you were nothing, now

you are something. You are the

property of the Grandmaster.

(then:
)

Congratulations! You will meet the

Grandmaster in five seconds.

Images around the tunnel begin speeding up. Chaos, violence,

and confusion mixed in with Grandmaster's face.

Thor, already bewildered, looks on the verge of panic.

SOOTHING VOICE (V.O.)

Prepare yourself. Prepare

yourself. You are now meeting the

Grandmaster.

Thor SCREAMS!

32 INT. GRANDMASTER'S CHAMBERS - CONTINUOUS 32

Suddenly Thor is somewhere else, surrounded weirdos and

insanely dressed palace guards.

His scream dies down self-consciously.

A musical beat PLAYS in the background.

THE GRANDMASTER, a tall mysterious man in golden robes. He is

looking right at us. He doesn't know what to make of us. He's

curious, thrilled, revolted, and titillated.

Pulling back we see TOPAZ, his trusty guard, at his side. Two

GOLDEN LADIES loiter off to the side. Other strange guests

can be seen in the background. Grandmaster just stares.

S142 stands beside Grandmaster. Finally:

GRANDMASTER:

He's wonderful.

(then:
)

It is a he?

Reveal S142 standing beside Thor.

SCRAPPER #142

It's a he.

GRANDMASTER:

Yeah. I love when you come to visit

142, you bring me the best stuff.

(to Topaz:
)

Whenever we get to talking, Topaz,

about Scrapper 142...what do I

always say? "She is the..." and it

starts with a B.

TOPAZ:

Trash.

GRANDMASTER:

No, not trash. Were you waiting

just to call her that? It doesn't

start with a "B."

TOPAZ:

Booze hag.

BLUE DRAFT 05/20/16 34.

GRANDMASTER:

I'm so sorry. No, "best." I was

thinking about "best."

(to S142:
)

Because I always say you're the

best. She brought me my precious

beloved Champion, you know.

TOPAZ:

You say that every time she's here.

GRANDMASTER:

What have you brought today? Tell

me.

SCRAPPER #142

A contender.

THOR:

A what?

GRANDMASTER:

I need to go closer. I want a

closer look at this. Can you take

us closer? Thank you.

Grandmaster advances on Thor. Examining him closely and

strangely. Then:

GRANDMASTER (CONT'D)

Pay this lady.

THOR:

Just wait a damn minute. I'm not

for sale.

Using all his might, Thor breaks out of his shackles, but-

-S142 ZAPS him again. Paralyzed by superheated veins.
