19 INT. SANCTUARY - CAMP BASE - CONTINUOUS 19
Members of both factions are uniting together as they arm
themselves. SWORDS, AXES and even GUNS are passed around,
Black and White Furs working together for once as we PAN
THROUGH this scene:
20 INT. BASE - CORRIDOR - SAME TIME 20
Conall strides through the corridor, sepia toned brick
providing the most mundane of places as a group of MEN walk
towards him. They're all dressed in LAB COATS and we can now
recognise them as some of Parker's SCIENTISTS.
CONALL
Let's get to it, shall we?
The Scientists follow him through into:
21 INT. BASE - LABORATORY - NEXT 21
A makeshift lab's been set up with GREY WOLVES milling about,
checking individual experiments. Half the lab's an actual
traditional laboratory, the other half is an armoury of
sorts.
Conall and the Scientists make their way through, watching as
TECHNICIANS mix chemicals together. The BODIES of unfortunate
FURS line the walls, some of them half-destroyed by the
experiments.
Some bodies are even being used as target practice in the
armoury, physically repulsing several of the Scientists.
Conall and the team arrive at a specially cordoned off area,
labelled 'Authorized Members Only.' A Scientist, MILLER,
leans over to another:
MILLER
Are we still sure this is the best
idea?
CONALL (O.S.)
I'm sorry, what did you say?
Because it sounded like, "Conall,
please eviscerate me in front of my
colleagues because what'd really
get my rocks off is watching as my
intestines flop around on the floor
next to my gall bladder."
Severely admonished, Miller and the others enter the cordoned
off section:
To find several Grey wolves sat, mostly bare-chested as a
pair of TECHNICIANS inject them with various SUBSTANCES.
CONALL (cont'd)
So. Why can't the good doctor
himself make this call?
SCIENTIST #1
Doctor Parker is... unwell at the
moment. He's not leaving his
private estate until his illness
has passed.
CONALL
Awww. Has he got the sniffles?
MILLER
Mr. Conall...
CONALL
Please, just call me master.
(beat; smirks)
Kidding. 'Lord' will do just fine.
MILLER
Mr. Conall, we're only here to make
sure that the next round of Doctor
Parker's genetic manipulation
succeeds.
Two of the Scientists bring out a large BLACK SUITCASE which
they open to reveal DOZENS of VIALS of the same RED LIQUID.
Conall GRINS, looking up from the rows and rows of the liquid
to the Scientists.
CONALL
And this is definitely stronger
than the last batch?
MILLER
As requested.
CONALL
Good.
The first Grey wolf rolls up his shirt sleeve and a
Technician places one of the vials into a hypodermic plunger.
He then quickly finds a vein and INJECTS the wolf.
The wolf GRINS, feeling the rush of power, as does Conall as
we PULL BACK from the number of wolves there, the large
numbers, before we:
BLACK OUT:
END OF ACT ONE
ACT TWO
FADE IN:
22 EXT. COUNTRYSIDE - NIGHT 22
A pair of heavily armoured JEEPS pull up on the roadside -
along next to a crappy looking SEDAN.
Chris, Vivian, Twist and Danyael step out of one van with
Rosheen, Siobhan, Dermot and Marcus stepping out of the
other. Two dozen BLACK and WHITE FURS step out as well.
Danyael and Twist make their way over to the sedan where a
group of REBEL VAMPS are waiting, some smoking cigarettes in
order to relax.
A male vamp, MACINTYRE, steps forward.
MACINTYRE
Danyael.
DANYAEL
Mac.
MACINTYRE
(beat)
It's good to see you.
The two, grinning, embrace and Twist smirks at Danyael when
he's done.
TWIST
I'm surprised you didn't have a
secret handshake.
DANYAEL
Mac, you remember Twist, right?
MACINTYRE
Ah, the remarkable Miss McFadden.
Twist simply smirks, waving off the comment. Chris steps
forward, bringing all the groups together as one.
CHRIS
I assume we all know the plan, but
in case we've forgotten...
(beat)
Rosheen and Dermot will lead a
squad of Furs into the town of
Momoko. They will engage Conall and
his wolves, giving us enough to
both infiltrate Parker's D.C. lab
and hopefully destroy Parker's
facilities to create more of his
soldiers.
ROSHEEN
Normally, we'd be working co
independently. But considering both
the high surveillance levels of
Parker's facilities and the fact
that we're going up against god
knows how many grey wolves, any
walkie-talkies or cell phones are a
no. That also means that we might
not see each other again. So... say
your goodbyes.
There's a MURMUR around the groups, but they slowly start to
say their farewells. Marcus makes his way over to Rosheen.
ROSHEEN (cont'd)
You're going with them, aren't you?
MARCUS
Yes. I know that with us losing
Reagan, me leaving isn't exactly
the best thing in the world right
now.
ROSHEEN
No, I understand. You need to
protect your squad.
MARCUS
My squad?
ROSHEEN
Yeah...
She looks over at Twist who is chattering nineteen to the
dozen with Danyael's rebel vampires.
ROSHEEN (cont'd)
Your squad. They kinda need you.
MARCUS
(beat)
I'll come back.
ROSHEEN
I know.
Marcus bends down and KISSES her softly, sweetly before
resting his forehead against hers for a beat.
MARCUS
I love you.
ROSHEEN
(smiles)
I know that too.
Danyael finishes speaking to MacIntyre and finds Siobhan next
to him. The two stand a little awkwardly before:
DANYAEL
Listen, I just wanted to say
that...
SIOBHAN
I know, I know. I've been pushing
you a little hard on the 'us'
thing, it's fine, I...
And then Danyael reaches over and KISSES her! She's shocked
for a moment before reciprocating with enthusiasm, wrapping
her arms around him.
DANYAEL
If you'd let me finish, I was gonna
say that I just wanted to thank you
for everything. And that maybe
after all this, we could...
SIOBHAN
(quickly)
Yes!
DANYAEL
(beat; grins)
So, I'll see you back at the base.
You should be heading there now.
SIOBHAN
Danyael... I'm not going back to
the base. I've volunteered to be
part of Rosheen's squad.
DANYAEL
What?
SIOBHAN
Oh, don't. It's fine. Anyway, I've
been meaning to get in a good
fight.
(beat)
And anyway, who's gonna look after
Dermot, right?
(off his expression)
I'll be fine, Danyael. Trust me.
DANYAEL
I trust you. It's what we're going
up against that worries me.
PAN OVER to our team's van where Chris is stood, idly going
over some PAPERS in his hand. He leans back in the van,
brushing against something, and picking it up.
It's a SILK SCARF, brightly coloured with several tiny BELLS
on the end. Chris holds it gently, remembering.
FLASH CUT TO:
23 EXT. FIELDS - DAY (FLASHBACK) 23
In a summer's day, LYRA, wearing the scarf SMILES at Chris,
joy and happiness radiating off them both...
FLASH CUT TO:
24 EXT. COUNTRYSIDE - NIGHT 24
Chris sighs, placing the scarf reverently down in the van
before moving away towards Vivian who's sat placidly on a
rock overlooking the valley.
CHRIS
Moment of contemplation?
VIVIAN
(shakes head)
No. It's the calm before the storm.
TWIST (O.S.)
And here was me thinking I was the
optimist here.
Twist enters frame, Vivian giving her an enigmatic smile.
VIVIAN
It's a gift.
TWIST
We all ready for Operation-Kicking
Of-The-Ass?
CHRIS
I think so.
Danyael and his rebel vamps walk up. There are eight of them
all together, five guys and three girls.
DANYAEL
(off each in turn)
I'd like you to meet Mac, Ben,
Warren, JJ, Sam, Luciana, April and
Helen.
CHRIS
Good to meet you all. Sorry it
couldn't be under better
circumstances.
(long beat)
Let's go.
TWIST
And before we all set off, I'd like
to give you all this thought.
(beat)
Why is there an 's' in 'lisp'? It's
just cruel.
VIVIAN
(beat)
God, I'm glad I'm a loner.
The others file into the van, leaving Twist till last.
Danyael fires up the engine as the convoy move off.
DISSOLVE TO:
25 EXT. TOWN - LATER 25
A dejected town in the middle of nowhere. The full moon hangs
above us like an ominous sign.
TITLE OVER: MOMOKO
A VAN rolls into view and silently, the Furs Squad emerge.
Rosheen, Dermot and Siobhan lead them.
ROSHEEN
(signalling)
Troop A, circle round the place and
see if you can find any signs of
life here. Troop B, head north and
go underground. Troop C with me,
we'll head to the centre of the
town.
The individual troops nod, moving off in separate sections.
Troop C consists of Rosheen, Siobhan, Dermot and four other
Black Furs.
DERMOT
Let's go.
They move forth into the city, weapons raised and on the
defensive as we PUSH THROUGH a disused building and into:
26 EXT. TOWN - BUILDING - NEXT 26
TROOP A emerge around the corner of one building, guns and
swords raised as they see yet another completely empty and
silent building.
The team members swap glances before moving forth, as we PAN
ALONG a street and enter:
27 INT. TOWN - HOUSE - NEXT 27
Members of TROOP B sweep around the lounge of one room -
finding nothing. No signs of life, even the TV is showing
STATIC. The Troop B leader, FORD, speaks into his walkie
talkie.
FORD
Hey, Rosheen. There's nothing here.
Literally, no life, no sound. It's
like everyone's done an Omega Man
and we're Charlton Heston.
INTERCUT WITH:
28 EXT. TOWN - PARK - NEXT 28
Siobhan and Rosheen are knelt down in a small park in front
of the TOWN HALL, in the centre of the whole town.
ROSHEEN
I know. We're right in the centre
and there's nothing. It's a ghost
town.
Dermot and MERIELLE, another White Fur, enter:
MERIELLE
There's nothing else. There's no
one, humans or wolves, that we can
find.
DERMOT
(into walkie-talkie)
All troops, reconvene on the town
centre immediately.
SIOBHAN
What are you doing? Rosheen said we
weren't to use the -
DERMOT
They're here. I know it. They're
just not visible. If we move in one
concentrated force, we can flush
them out.
Rosheen starts shaking her head and speaks down into her
walkie talkie.
ROSHEEN
All troops, ignore last order and
initiate a retreat.
DERMOT
So, what, we're running now?
ROSHEEN
This reeks of 'trap' right now,
Dermot, and considering our recent
losses, going right in is not the
best thing.
DERMOT
(beat)
Rosheen, I am going to lead my
forces into battle, and seeing as
White Furs are outnumbering Blacks,
I think that the majority vote
wins.
ROSHEEN
You're making a huge mistake.
She glances up - the rest of their forces are converging on
their position. Within moments, all the Furs are here.
DERMOT
Are we ready?
SIOBHAN
(sighs)
As we'll ever -
DERMOT
(calling out)
Conall!
Dermot LEAPS OVER a section of the park, striding towards the
Town Hall, arms spread out wide.
DERMOT (cont'd)
We know you're here, so come on!
Take a stand like a wolf! A true
wolf!
And then, just like that, the shadows start to MOVE. Distinct
FORMS - dozens of them - move across the ground, human-shaped
and as they step into the moonlight. GREY WOLVES
They're all fairly muscular, looking much leaner and stronger
than our own tired crew of Furs - but several of them are
holding whimpering HUMANS.
The fourteen or so HOSTAGES are terrified, bound and gagged.
One grey wolf, TYLER, steps forward, holding a female hostage
in his arms tightly.
SIOBHAN
These people have nothing to do
with what's between us wolves. Let
them all go, now.
TYLER
I don't think so... Siobhan.
SIOBHAN
What? How do you - ?
TYLER
You're not the only one with
information here, sweetie.
Siobhan pauses and then steps forward.
SIOBHAN
Just me and a couple of my friends.
You can take us in exchange for the
humans.
TYLER
(snorts)
Yeah, because that ain't one of the
oldest tricks going.
SIOBHAN
No tricks. We go, you send the
hostages to my friends here and
then...
TYLER
Then what? We have a latte and
braid each other's hair?
SIOBHAN
(beat)
I promise. We'll just... play a
stalemate.
There's a long, thoughtful beat as Tyler leans over to his
fellow grey wolves.
Dermot and Rosheen watch Siobhan, who doesn't break eye
contact with Tyler as they finish deliberating.
TYLER
Girl, you got yourself a deal...
for now.
SIOBHAN
Good.
TYLER
But we got some conditions. One:
only three of you. And two: you're
getting the hostages but you're not
taking 'em anywhere.
SIOBHAN
You have my word.
Tyler nods to his wolves, who let go of the hostages. They
start to run towards the group - who are now completely
surrounded.
Siobhan moves forward with Merielle and another White Fur,
cutting a path in the watchful eyes of the grey wolves.
SIOBHAN (cont'd)
So what do you want now?
Tyler bends down, almost whispering into Siobhan's ear.
TYLER
You know I said the 'swapping'
thing was the oldest trick in the
book?
SIOBHAN
Yep.
TYLER
Well, I lied. The oldest page is
that the one where the 'hostages'
aren't actually hostages at all.
Siobhan's eyes WIDEN and she SPINS AROUND, calling out:
SIOBHAN
Rosheen! Dermot! Not hostages!
Dermot and Rosheen look up and GOGGLE - just as the Hostages'
limbs turn to CLAWS!
The newly Turned WOLVES snarl and CACKLE in delight - before
pouncing upon the group of Furs in a sea of CRIES and BLOOD!
Siobhan SPIN KICKS Tyler away from her and she and Merielle
watch in horror as the White Fur soldier is attacked as the
garou SLASH and TEAR at the unfortunate young man.
PULL BACK from the titanic fight going on right now before we
SMASH CUT TO:
29 EXT. BASE - NIGHT 29
A large FACILITY standing before us, large STEPS leading up
to the entrance.
TITLE OVER: WASHINGTON, D.C.
REVERSE ANGLE from the facility to find Twist SLURPING
heavily from a plastic domed Starbucks cup. Danyael and the
others join her as she continues slurping.
DANYAEL
You know, you could be helping out
here instead of sitting on your
ass.
TWIST
Actually, the entire turning point
of this battle depends on me
finishing my caramel frappucino
with whipped cream.
VIVIAN
How?
TWIST
Too complex for you to understand.
She finishes the last of her drink and tosses it in a nearby
GARBAGE CAN, before SCOOPING UP her BASEBALL BAT and giving
it a twirl for good measure.
CHRIS
Let's go.
Chris ENTERS FRAME, carrying several of the adapted GAS
GRENADES in his hands. He places them into the team's hands
and as a group they stride slowly towards the base.
As they cross the pavement, two minute SPIKES emerge - and
when the team cross them, ALARM BELLS start to RING!
Within seconds, black clad NEO-SOLDIERS appear, weapons drawn
and aimed at the team.
However, Chris and Vivian TOSS their grenades to where they
land at the soldiers' feet - and they EXPLODE, releasing the
toxic gas!
But instead of literally melting the flesh from their bones,
the gas isn't affecting the soldiers, who start to FIRE at
our team who dive behind the van for cover.
TWIST
So I guess the 'nice-and-quiet
approach' ship has sailed over the
edge of the waterfall?
DANYAEL
And crashed onto the rocks and the
survivors all got leprosy.
(to Chris)
Why aren't the virus grenade things
working?
CHRIS
(seethes)
Parker. He must have altered the
DNA of the neo-soldiers to
withstand the effects of the anti
serum. There's nothing we can do.
MARCUS
Oh, there's something.
And with that, Marcus charges out, arms outstretched in garou
form - and LAUNCHES himself at the neo-soldiers, TACKLING
three of them in mid flight!
He HOOK KICKS one in the chest but another THROWS Marcus
against the facility, CRACKING the wall painfully.
Danyael and Chris speed over, Chris drawing his KATANA out
and SLICING it across the throat of one soldier, GUTTING him
quickly - but two more soldiers unload several rounds,
forcing Chris to swerve around using the body of the dead
soldier as cover!
However, J.J. and Sam - two of the rebel vamps - are brought
down in a hail of BULLETS, while the others tackle other
soldiers.
Vivian STABS one soldier - but he's already starting to HEAL,
SMIRKING as the wound seals over. Good as new.
He KICKS out at Vivian who neatly hops it and lands an
UPPERCUT on the soldier's jaw, knocking him back a little -
but he SMACKS her in the face with the butt of his gun.
Vivian collapses on the floor to find the Soldier aiming his
gun at her...
... but then he STIFFENS, eyes WIDENING as he tries to reach
behind him as BLOOD starts to dribble from his lips...
... and he COLLAPSES with a CRY, revealing TWIST, with the
end of Duggan IMPALED THROUGH the Soldier's neck! Vivian
gives Twist a grateful smile before the two split up.
But as we rapidly PULL BACK, we can see that reinforcements
are coming hard and fast, before we CUT TO:
30 EXT. TOWN - PARK - NIGHT 30
Rosheen SNARLS as she KARATE KICKS one grey wolf in the chest
before SNAPPING his neck!
She drops his body like the dead weight it is before DUCKING
a tackle from a fully changed grey wolf and SNAPPING a foot
across its jaw, sending it out for the count.
Merielle STABS one passing grey wolf in the chest - but sees
a Black Fur getting his neck SNAPPED before being torn open.
Rosheen enters once more, staggering from a hard blow to the
chest - but sees Siobhan giving the wolf who hit her a good
one-two!
Siobhan SWEEP KICKS the wolf and AX KICKS him fluidly,
knocking him down for good.
ROSHEEN
Never thought of you as much of a
fighter!
SIOBHAN
Yeah, well...
Siobhan SPIN JUMPS onto another wolf, knocking him back into
a sea of others.
SIOBHAN (cont'd)
Every girl needs to let off steam.
But the jovial nature is lost as we PAN AROUND and find
another incoming swarm of the grey wolves, before:
BLACK OUT:
END OF ACT TWO
ACT THREE
FADE IN:
31 EXT. TOWN - PARK - NIGHT 31
Back in the fight, Rosheen KARATE KICKS a pair of grey wolves
into a BUILDING, proceeding to reach over and SNAP one neck -
before FLIPPING the body into the second wolf, SMASHING him
through a set of double doors!
However, another grey wolf SLAMS INTO Rosheen, gripping her
from behind with an iron-like grip - until:
DERMOT (O.S.)
Duck!
Rosheen drops her head as Dermot LEAPS INTO VIEW, performing
a perfectly executed ROUNDHOUSE KICK which SNAPS the grey
wolf's head back, throwing him back into the crowd.
Dermot helps Rosheen up - and the two see Siobhan being
surrounded by snarling wolves...
... and the two rush forward, SLASHING with their transformed
claws, their garou forms clearing a path through the wolves.
Siobhan receives a vicious KICK to the ribs, but manages to
SWEEP KICK her opponent, knocking him down and STAMP KICKING
on him - but a pair of WOLVES knock her back, PUNCHING her
across her face...
... just as a raging DERMOT enters and CLOCKS them both
across the face, sending them stumbling back into the crowds.
However, a pair of Black Fur soldiers are taken down - and
Siobhan, Dermot and Rosheen DUCK as a GRENADE lands a scant
few feet from them and EXPLODES, knocking them back and
KILLING several wolves.
The team, seeing an apparently empty building, speed into it,
followed by a couple of Black Fur and White Fur lieutenants:
32 INT. ABANDONED BUILDING - NEXT 32
The Black Furs grab a large SLAB of WOOD while the White Furs
secure the door. They block the door as we PAN AROUND the
room:
Bare lighting, as we can now see various BODIES of the
unfortunate citizens lying around. Siobhan and Rosheen look
horrified, but manage to hold back their revulsion - even as
RATS scurry across their feet.
DERMOT
(wheezing)
There's... too... many of them...
SIOBHAN
There's always too many.
MERIELLE
We're trapped. I mean, we could
always do a roof assault, but they
might be expecting that...
Rosheen is however, walking over to one wall and pulls a MAP
from her satchel. She flips on a TORCH and holds it in her
mouth, reading the map...
... before aiming a KICK at the wall in front of her! DUST
seeps from one corner and she follows it up with a powerful
ROUNDHOUSE KICK, which causes RUBBLE to drop from the top of
the wall.
The rest of the wolves look at Rosheen as if she's gone mad -
but then one more SNAP KICK forces the wall to COLLAPSE,
revealing a TUNNEL!
SIOBHAN
How did you know that was there?
Rosheen indicates the map.
SIOBHAN (cont'd)
(to Dermot)
How come we don't have maps?
DERMOT
Okay, so where the hell does the
huge gaping tunnel lead to?
ROSHEEN
According to the map, this is an
old evacuation tunnel built in the
Fifties. And this leads right to
the town hall, where...
SIOBHAN
(nods)
Conall and his troops are likely to
be.
MERIELLE
I'm getting a bad feeling about
this.
DERMOT
Hey, Nikki. Shut it.
MERIELLE
(glowering)
My name is' Merielle.'
DERMOT
(beat)
So what now? We go and attack
Conall right where it hurts?
SIOBHAN
(shakes head)
No. If we all go, the wolves will
eventually break their way in here
and then we'll be caught between a
rock and an even bigger rock. With
claws.
ROSHEEN
She's right. I'll lead a squad to
the town hall to attack Conall,
while the rest of you stay to keep
the wolves at bay.
DERMOT
Wait a second - I'm in charge here,
you can't just -
Rosheen shoots a look at Dermot. He exhales, backing down.
DERMOT (cont'd)
I'll take charge of the front here.
SIOBHAN
I'll stay here too.
ROSHEEN
Okay. I'll take seven Furs and the
rest can help you tackle them.
Quickly, Rosheen gathers six Furs, a mixture of Black and
White, and along with Merielle starts to venture forth into
the tunnel.
The BANGING and SNARLING at the door continues and Dermot and
Siobhan share a look as the wood CREAKS threatingly.
DERMOT
Good luck.
SIOBHAN
You too.
And then with a ROAR, the door BURSTS OPEN and the wolves hit
our team like a tidal wave, forcing us to SMASH CUT TO:
