SARK:

I don't know how you survived,

slave.

572 WIDE SHOT FROM THE SIDE 572

SARK:

It doesn't matter. Prepare to

terminate.

Sark flings his disk with a violent jerk of his wrist.

573 SHOT FROM ABOVE 573

as the disk races at Tron. He dodges, drops to one knee and ducks

under it. Sark's disk circles like a homing missile and attacks

again. Tron deflects the second attack with his own disk, and the

two meet with an explosion of light. Sark's disk ricochets off and

races away, back to Sark. We see Tron throw his own weapon.

574 EXT. CARRIER BRIDGE 574

FLYNN:

I can rev this baby up a little

He looks out sees something, does a double-take, looks again

FLYNN:

(continuing)

Wait a minute Yori! YORI!! LOOK!

575 FULL SHOT 575

as Yori runs to Flynn's side and-peers down.

YORI:

TRON!!

576 CLOSE UP - YORI 576

tears of joy streaming down her face.

577 HER POV577

the fight continuing.

577A FULL SHOT - THE BRIDGE577

YORI:

Flynn, we've got to help him!

FLYNN:

Let's get some power here.

His hands, laying on the control console, begin to send forth great

pulses of glowing energy into the carrier.

CUT TO:

578 CLOSE UP 578

Sark's face.

SARK:

You are very persistent, Tron.

579 MED. SHOT 579

Tron's disk circles Sark, attacking twice. Sark deflects it and

immediately throws his own disk.

580 SHOT OF TWO WEAPONS 580

racing almost side by side through the air.

581 SHOT OF TRON581

as the two disks come at him.

TRON:

I'm also better than you....

He leaps into the air, grabs his own disk, pulling his legs up as

Sark's disk passes under him.

582 SHOT OF SARK'S DISK 582

Making a sharp turn in the air.

583 SHOT OF TRON FROM BEHIND 583

He looks over his shoulder, sees the disk coming at him.

584 TRON'S HAND584

As he slams his own disk into Sark's, using his as a shield.

584A MED. SHOT SARK 584A

SARK:

Very clever, Tron. You know you

should have joined me.

585 OVERHEAD POV585

Tron hurls again.

586 FLYNN AND YORI 586

Flynn is at the controls, transferring power.

FLYNN:

Any response?

YORI:

It's starting

She looks down at the battle. Her hand reaches over and grips

Flynn's tightly.

CUT TO:

587 SARK 587

He catches his own disk, spots Tron's coming at him right behind,

and holds up his own disk as a shield.

SARK:

We would have made a great team.

588 TRON'S DISK588

turning sideways in its flight, edge on.

589 SARK 589

With a CRASH and explosion of light, Tron's disk cuts right through

Sark's disk, and on through Sark's head. The disk shatters, and we

see Sark's surprised face, hands still in position to hold the

disk... a jagged open slash right through his forehead. We can see

energy pouring out of this wound like blood.

590 LONGER SHOT590

Sark falls, dead, face first.

591 OMITTED591

592 TRON 592

wailing past Sark's body.

593 SHOT FROM BEHIND TRON593

as he goes in the MCP's inner chamber.

MCP:

(before he sees Tron)

It is very good that you...

594 OMITTED594

595 SHOT OF TRON595

framed in the doorway.

TRON:

I don't think it is good for you, MCP.

596 SHOT OF MCP596

MCP:

Sark! How have you allowed this

program to

597 OMITTED597

598 SHOT FROM BEHIND TRON598

TRON:

Sark's out. Would you like to

leave a message?

MCP:

I am the message. The only message.

Sark!

Tron throws his disk. It's deflected off the base of the MCP, and

returns to him.

MCP:

(continuing)

SARK!

As Tron is preparing to throw again he notices Dumont and races over

to him.

599 CLOSE SHOT - WALL599

Dumont is transparent. Tron runs up to him.

TRON:

(trying to pull

Dumont away from wall)

Dumont!

DUMONT:

No... Tron ... must... destroy

MCP... first...

TRON:

Dumont! Where's Yori? Where's

Flynn?

DUMONT:

(very weak)

They may be... de-rezzed... on

the carrier ... hurry...

600 MED. SHOT - TRON600

He turns, murder in his eyes, draws back his arm for the throw.

MCP:

Program... stop. This is not allowed!

Tron throws.

601 SHOT OF MCP601

The disk smashes into him. Once, twice...

MCP:

I will not allow this Sark!

(thundering)

SARK!!!

The voice reverberates, shaking the chamber. Tron continues to throw.

602 OMITTED602

603 INSERT603

Sark's dead hand. We see the circuit pattern of the mesa top begin

to glow around the hand, throbbing with energy. The hand moves.

604 TRON 604

throwing again at the MCP, hitting, catching his disk again.

MCP:

(thundering)

SARK!!!

605 SARK 605

His body is glowing, expanding. He starts to rise, his face looks up.

606 CLOSE UP - FACE 606

It is vacant, staring with white eyes. His head still has the gaping

hole in the forehead. He's a zombie, the living dead. He rises.

607 LONG SHOT 607

Carrier floating over the CPU, near the MCP's beam. Flynn looks out,

from side to side, quickly assessing the possibilities. He spots the

beam.

608 OMITTED608

609 HIS POV OF BEAM 609

very close.

610 SHOT OF YORI AND FLYNN610

FLYNN:

Yori, steer us over the beam,

right next to it.

YORI:

(going to controls)

Why? What are you going to do?

FLYNN:

(staring down)

Jump.

Yori looks up.

YORI:

But... won't you be de-rezzed?

FLYNN:

(turns to her)

Probably.

611 INT. MCP - TRON 611

about to fire again. There's a sudden roar and Tron turns.

612 TRON'S POV OF GIANT SARK 612

Who rips open the doorway into the MCP and advances.

613 BRIDGE613

Yori has steered them right next to the beam. She turns to Flynn,

goes up to him.

YORI:

Flynn... you can't... I

FLYNN:

(lays finger on

her lips)

Shhhhh.

He takes her in his arms.

FLYNN (CONT.)

(whispering)

I'm sure Tron wouldn't mind if...

just once...

His head bends down and their lips meet. Yori's body begins to glow,

change, metamorphosize until she has the same appearance as in the

love scene with Tron, sparkling and gorgeous. Her eyes are closed.

614 CLOSE UP - THEIR FACES614

Finally Flynn pulls away from her. Her eyes stay shut for a second,

then open.

FLYNN:

Don't worry.

615 LONGER SHOT615

He releases her, steps to the edge of the observation port, poises

on the brink, and then leaps off, directly in the beam. We see Yori

shakily grip the edge of the port and lean out.

616 HER POV616

Flynn is diving through space in the beam, falling in slow motion

directly into the center of MCP itself.

617 INT. MCP 617

Sark is much bigger than before, advancing on Tron. He speaks, but

his voice is that of the MCP.

SARK/MCP

End of line, program...

We can see the MCP in the b.g. Suddenly there is an explosion of

static, as Flynn falls into the MCP. We see a weird 2-D image of

Flynn's face circling in the cylinder with the MCP as they battle.

Sark falters, stumbles, distracted by this, and Tron ducks under him

and hurls the code disk for the last time. It circles the MCP once,

and then hurtles straight for the target, the apex of the energy

cones. And connects.

618 SHOT OF THE APEX618

A brilliant explosion of lights bursts out.

619 SHOT OF SARK619

Dead face wracked with the pain of a second death. He begins to melt

into a column of pure energy, dissipating completely.
