Transformers: Age of Extinction Page #2

Synopsis: After the battle between the Autobots and Decepticons that leveled Chicago, humanity thinks that all alien robots are a threat. So Harold Attinger, a CIA agent, establishes a unit whose sole purpose is to hunt down all of them. But it turns out that they are aided by another alien robot who is searching for Optimus Prime. Cade Yeager, a "robotics expert", buys an old truck and upon examining it, he thinks it's a Transformer. When he powers it up, he discovers it's Optimus Prime. Later, men from the unit show up looking for Optimus. He helps Yeager and his daughter Tessa escape but are pursued by the hunter. They escape and Yeager learns from technology he took from the men that a technology magnate and defense contractor named Joshua Joyce is part of what's going on, so they go to find out what's going on.

- Sir, do you wanna see the property?

- Sure.

I'd be more than happy

to give you a tour.

I'll show you three other buyers

I got buried out back,

then I'll crack your head open

like an egg!

- Whoa! Whoa!

- Stay back! He's crazy.

I told you don't come back here

anymore.

I will have my brother come back

and beat your ass!

- Don't you start with me.

- Why don't you do it yourself?

And I'll bring the police

when I come, too!

- My brother ain't no joke!

- Who, Jerry?

You bring his big ass up here,

he's gonna be huffing and puffing

before he can squeeze out of that car!

You back out on my grass,

you're gonna be in big trouble!

You tell Jerry to come see me.

I'll give him some pecan pie.

Hey!

She smashed through the fence?

Cade, relax.

You're going to have an aortic infarction.

What is that?

I think it's a brain heart attack.

Yeah, I've had one already.

So we're stealing power now?

No, we're borrowing it

from the neighbors.

Great. That's awesome.

Once I graduate and I'm gone,

who's gonna take care of you?

You take care of me?

Who taught you how to solder a circuit?

Or write a program?

Or French braid your hair?

Or throw a spiral? Me. That's what I do.

Who taught you how to cook

without ketchup,

or balance your checkbook?

Who always has to be the grownup

around here?

All right, you got a point, okay?

But that means we're a great team.

And I know it's been sucky

around here lately.

But we're gonna be fine, sweetie.

You just gotta keep believing, okay?

I mean, that's what great inventors do.

I promise you, one day,

I'm gonna build something that matters.

I believe you, Dad.

You know, your mom

would be very proud of you.

It's going to be okay.

Spread out! Push right!

Roll, roll, roll, roll.

Give me two. Give me two.

Take the beach, nice and easy.

All right, hold what you got.

Release the mini-drones.

Vipers.

Eagle in sight. Cleared hot.

Got a heat sig. Second stack.

Closest to the bow.

Predator 0-1.

Captured target area.

Set charges.

Leader, leader, this is Gunfighter 0-1.

Eagles moving internal. Second deck.

Frogman 83, Frogman 83.

Breached site on rooftop.

- Breached site on rooftop.

- Have Echo Platoon on standby.

Let the helo know

we're moving external!

Alpha, take port.

Bravo, take starboard.

Shift right. Shift right.

Cracking steel!

No!

Hit him, hit him, hit him!

Fire.

Missiles out. Danger close.

He's running! Move!

He's on the run!

He's on the run!

No! Please!

Hold your fire.

Hold! Hold fire!

Can you not see? I've been injured.

Box him in. Box him in.

Medical Officer Ratchet! I'm a friend!

I'm an Autobot!

Then why are you running?

Optimus sent this distress message.

Calling all Autobots.

We are under targeted attack.

Cease all contact with humans.

We're all hiding.

All Autobots are being hunted.

We're all in danger.

I lost a sister in Chicago.

You'll get no sympathy from me.

What's wrong with you humans?

No! Please.

Check fire, check fire!

He's mine now.

Lockdown.

Autobots, Decepticons.

Like little children, always fighting.

Making a mess out of the universe.

Then I've got to clean it up.

There is one way you survive.

Tell me where he's hiding.

Where is Optimus Prime?

Never.

Never is here.

I must say, it is remarkable,

really astounding,

the success that the CIA has had

since you have taken

operational control,

and so the President

has asked me to ask you

to ask him,

to invite you both

over to the White House

just to powwow,

where we get maybe

some more specifics about how

exactly you're hunting

the enemy Decepticons left.

I've had my desk for two years.

Mr. Attinger has been here for 25.

He runs the projects

where I don't ask for specifics.

That's why they're called Black Ops.

And why we all sleep better at night.

Check. That is great. So, um...

Any dirt on that?

How, that's going?

Outstanding.

Great. Great.

I was hoping to hear that.

The President will be pleased.

'Cause, I'll tell you right now, I've only

been Chief of Staff since Monday, um,

but I do know that

the alien war stuff, these are...

These are the only fun meetings.

Look, I'm not here

to entertain the President,

but you may tell him

that the war will be over.

Soon.

"...be over..." In case he asks,

I just like to have an exact quote.

"War will be over soon."

That is great. Such good news.

And, um, the President would,

I know, just love...

Really, really love to press the flesh...

Not flesh, obviously,

but just maybe get a shot with, um...

Is it Lord Prime? Sir Prime?

We could bop on Air Force One.

It'd be just a quick bop,

then we just bop in and bop back.

I wouldn't get his hopes up

on that one.

Okay.

He's called Optimus Prime.

Alien combatant. Here illegally.

But aren't they our friends? Why?

Because our world

will never truly be safe

till all of them are gone.

Well, I would hope we could do

a much more ceremonial farewell.

Especially since our military

has worked so closely with them.

- Until you.

- It's not their planet.

Never was.

Time we take it back.

All right, come on. Come on.

Yes. Yes.

Yes.

There you go.

No, hold it.

Stop shaking! Why are you shaking?

You have the job!

You forgot to eat dinner!

You see why I worry?

Look, sorry, sweetie, I...

I almost got it working right.

So, listen, I'm done with homework

and set with finals,

so I was just gonna take a little drive

with some friends

if that was okay with you.

No boys, I know. Graduate first.

Exactly.

You do know

no one else has this rule, right?

Rule? Don't make it sound harsh, okay.

It's wisdom.

I don't think we need to be

driving around in the middle of the night.

It's already like quarter to eight.

It's almost dark.

Spud, will you stop it?

You know where I was

for my graduation?

Yes. With me, the mistake.

The surprise, Tess.

And the best thing that ever happened.

Do we look unhappy?

No. It's the greatest day of my life.

I made your mother a promise

before she passed.

Our baby's gonna be at her graduation.

That's it.

High school boys know nothing.

It's only later they turn into men.

So if you were older and wiser,

I wouldn't exist.

That's not what I meant.

You know, this is

a non-dating household, okay?

You don't date, I don't date. That's it.

Well, maybe you should.

Tessa, wait.

Tessa?

Look.

I know I've been on you, okay?

But I have to be.

Twelve to seventeen

is the official teenage danger window.

It's my job to get you through it.

So you can be pissed off all you want.

And, yes, you can take a ride

with your friends.

Okay.

Don't work all night.

And eat.

Best thing that ever happened, Emily.

She's the best thing that ever happened.

You'd be proud.

No.

Unbelievable.

Unbelievable. God!

Something in here needs to

make this family some money.

Come on, you old wreck.

Judgment Day.

Where is he?

I don't know.

Intruder alert! Intruder alert!

A**hole.

I am dialing 911.
