He pulls out an Mp-5 out and hangs it out the window.

PETRA:

No! Don't shoot! He's hiding behind

the nerve agent!

Another shot blasts through, taking off the rear-view mirror.

XANDER:

Goddamit! He's gonna stop playing

around soon and shoot something

valuable!

Kirill laughs and takes aim once again. He puts Petra in the

sights.

Xander jerks the steering wheel and BLAM! the shot goes wide.

The GTO veers onto a dirt road that cuts down the mountain.

Xander fights for control as they slide around the turns.

The road flattens out and they can see the Industrial Complex

up ahead. They cut across a field, heading right for it.

EXT. OUTSIDE THE INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX - DAY

The truck heads through the gates of the industrial complex.

Quickly the gates are closed again. Armed GUARDS can be seen

up above.

The GTO comes at the gates at full speed.

XANDER:

Let's see what my man put together.

Xander opens a DASH PANEL, revealing a ROW OF SWITCHES. He

flips one.

The HEADLIGHTS EJECT, revealing a MINI-GUN IN EACH FENDER.

BRRRAAAAAAPPP!! The mini-guns spin.

The metal doors are getting SHREDDED.

Empty SHELLS spill down the sides of the GTO.

The metal doors come apart, falling in chunks.

The GTO slams through the wreckage without slowing down.

A Guard comes tumbling down and BOUNCES off the trunk as the

GTO zips inside.

EXT. INSIDE THE INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX - DAY

The Anarchy 99 guys seem to have a whole other army in here.

Guards spill onto the road, shooting at them from everywhere.

A BELLY PANEL on the GTO opens and ping-pong ball sized

MINIBOMBS dump onto the road. BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! The bombs

send the Guards scattering.

The GTO sizzles away.

XANDER:

Where'd the damn truck go?!

PETRA:

Go to the water, it's that way!

A tactical (a pick-up with a .50 cal machine gun attached)

pulls up behind them and opens fire.

XANDER:

Toadies right behind.

PETRA:

Let me.

Petra punches another button.

The REAR HUBCAPS pop off. They roll along the road on their

own. Inside they seem to be LINED WITH SPIKES.

As the Tactical pulls up in between the hubcaps they BLOW

UP, SPRAYING SPIKES at both sides of the Tactical.

All four wheels BLOW OUT and the Tactical goes out of control.

It crashes through a fence and pitches into the water, the

men going sprawling.

PETRA:

Fantastic options.

At the riverbank Yorgi and Kirill pull Ahab off the truck

and prepare for launching.

They remove it from it's box and carry it waist deep into

the water. Yorgi opens a panel and works feverishly on Ahab's

insides.

YORGI:

I've got it, go! Cover me!

Kirill grabs his sniper rifle and heads off.

He climbs up to a second story window of a wooden building

on a WHARF. From here he can shoot and NOT BE SEEN. He takes

his LIT CIGARETTE and tucks it behind his ear.

When the GTO rounds the corner he FIRES.

The bullet goes through the window and SLAMS into the steering

column.

Xander jams it into reverse. They retreat behind a building.

Petra clutches her arm, wounded.

XANDER:

You okay?

PETRA:

A piece of shrapnel hit me.

XANDER:

I'm sick of that guy. Let's stop

playing nice.

Kirill chambers another bullet and waits for them to make

their second approach. The GTO comes roaring out, spinning

in circles wildly. Xander's is just doing donuts as fast as

he can.

Kirill aims, but with all the dust being kicked up he doesn't

have much of a target.

KIRILL:

What are you doing!

He doesn't notice Petra pop up from behind a fence with a

HEAT SEEKING MISSILE LAUNCHER.

ANGLE ON - the missile launcher's COMPUTER SCREEN. The green

display shows a faint red glow in the upstairs window. Its

the GLOWING POINT of Kirill's lit cigarette.

The Launcher BEEPS as it locks in and she FIRES.

Kirill looks up to see the missile blazing down the wharf at

him.

He gets it immediately. In a panic he fumbles for the

cigarette...

Too late. The missile zeroes in on his head.

WHOOOSH! The entire wooden shack blows apart.

Xander walks up to Petra.

XANDER:

I guess the surgeon general was right.

ANGLE ON - Ahab as Yorgi flips a switch and let's it go. The

electric motor purrs to life and Ahab zips out into the river.

Xander and Petra run to the water's edge in time to see Yorgi

escaping in a MOTORBOAT. In the opposite direction they see

the ripples of Ahab as it speeds towards it's destination.

Petra finds the CONTROLLER in the cab of the truck. She

presses buttons desperately.

PETRA:

He's shut out the communication

circuit!

XANDER:

You can't talk to it?

PETRA:

No, it's like a safety. We are going

to have to access the manual controls.

XANDER:

A manual control on a moving torpedo.

This day keeps getting better and

better.

Xander starts running towards a second moored MOTORBOAT.

XANDER:

Radio Ivan! Tell him what's going

down! Have them evacuate downtown!

EXT. THE RIVER - DAY

Yorgi is motoring away, smiling, when he glances back and

sees Xander and Petra take off after Ahab. He pounds on his

steering wheel and turns around. His bigger boat closes on

them and he reloads his weapons.

Xander drives while Petra checks her controller.

PETRA:

It's running three meters down. Twenty

knots.

XANDER:

It has to surface to release the

nerve agent, right?

PETRA:

By then it's too late! The only way

to safely dispose of the nerve agent

is in deep water! The chemicals will

break down and dissipate!

XANDER:

Use your grenades! Maybe we can blow

it up underwater!

They're heading into downtown Prague now, the riverbank

getting more and more populated. Yorgi is closing fast.

Down below them Petra can see the white streak of Ahab beneath

the water.

PETRA:

There it is! Hold it steady!

Petra pulls the pin on a grenade. She tosses it out in front

of Ahab. WHOOMPH! A jet of water goes up, but too far behind.

She pulls another pin and is ready to throw when Yorgi's

boat pulls up alongside. Yorgi aims and FIRES and the bullet

GRAZES Petra's arm.

XANDER:

Petra!

She loses her grip and the grenade bounces down into the

engine compartment.

Xander grabs Petra and jumps. Together they land in Yorgi's

boat. The grenade explodes and their boat slams into a bridge

support and shatters.

They are in the heart of the old city now. We see piazza's

full of tourists, markets packed with locals, children playing

in front of cathedrals. And on the river Yorgi and

Xander battle it out while Petra steers the boat.

PETRA:

Xander! It's coming up!

Xander glances down, sees Ahab nearing the surface. Yorgi

clobbers him and Xander falls to the edge of the boat. Petra

tries to help, but Yorgi slugs her in her wounded arm.

Xander can see Ahab just a few inches under as Yorgi grabs

him from behind in a chokehold.

YORGI:

This is going to be exciting, buddy!

Front row seats to the apocalypse!

Come on, sing with me!

(singing madly)

"I am an Antichrist / I am an

anarchist / I... wan-na be...

Anarchy!"

Xander elbow's Yorgi's gut and breaks the chokehold. He flips

him and they both topple overboard.

They land on Ahab and both grab on. They punch and pummel

each other while desperately hanging on to the speeding

torpedo. It surfaces as it approaches the magnificent St.

Charles bridge.
