        34     INT. SANCTUARY - STAIRCASE - NEXT                       34

               Merielle, Ford and Sophia are making their way to a higher
               section - when a pair of grey wolves POUNCE on the two
               wolves, SNAPPING at them.

               Sophia hurries away - returning a second later with a DAGGER
               in either hand. Merielle FLINGS hers into the eye of her
               wolf, PUSHING it in with a CRY until he slumps dead.

               She looks over and Ford has already taken care of his.

                                   MERIELLE
                         Good work, Sophia.

               Sophia simply smiles, following the other two as we PUSH
               THROUGH a wall and into:

        35     INT. SANCTUARY - WEST CORRIDOR - NEXT                   35

               FURS rush from one corridor to the next - but there seem to
               be grey wolves everywhere!

               Conall WALKS through, SNAPPING a neck or two here until he
               hears:

                                   TORIN (O.S.)
                         Conall!

               He turns - and there's the experienced Black Fur, clothes
               covered in blood and dust.

                                   TORIN (cont'd)
                         You and me. One on one.

               Conall NODS, GRINNING as we CUT TO:

        36     INT. SANCTUARY - PRIVATE CHAMBER - NEXT                 36

               Torin is KICKED BACKWARDS into the chamber - which has BARS
               on the windows, allowing some sight into the chamber.

               Conall ENTERS, CRACKING his knuckles and his neck as Torin
               gets to his feet.

                                   CONALL
                         You're out of practise, old man. At
                         least Keegan put up some sort of
                         fight!

               Torin starts to circle Conall, heading back towards the door.

                                   CONALL (cont'd)
                         He had the guts and the glory!
                             (beat)
                         I guess we'll find out which one
                         you have.

               His hands MORPH once more into CLAWS - but Torin simply turns
               and BOLTS the door - sealing himself in with Conall!

                                   CONALL (cont'd)
                         What are you doing?

                                   TORIN
                         If I'm going to die, I want it to
                         be facing you. Not running.

               Outside, we can see Rosheen, her face SCREAMING for her
               father to stop - but he ignores her, striding towards Conall.

               Torin's hands CHANGE into CLAWS and the Black Fur raises
               them.

                                   TORIN (cont'd)
                         Let's see how much fight I've still
                         got in me.

               Conall SNARLS and then REVERSE KICKS Torin across the room,
               where he ROLLS and SWEEP KICKS Conall. Conall however PUNCHES
               Torin, sending him BACKWARDS...

        37     INT. SANCTUARY – WEST CORRIDOR – NEXT                   37

               ... as a solo Tyler SWEEPS the corridor, claws raised – just
               as Danyael SLAMS INTO him!

               The two are knocked back heavily against a wall, sending DUST
               falling from the ceiling – just as Tyler KNOCKS Danyael back
               with a PUNCH, a KICK and a solid HEADBUTT.

                                   TYLER
                         You just don't give up, do you?

                                   DANYAEL
                         It's a bad habit, but there are
                         others...

               Danyael CRACKS his elbow into Tyler's face, BREAKING his nose
               in a SPRAY of BLOOD!

                                   DANYAEL (cont'd)
                         Including my the ability to kick
                         ass regardless of how drunk I am.

               He DUCKS a clumsy STAB from Tyler and GRABS his claw,
               REVERSING onto Tyler and IMPALING him through the heart!

               Tyler looks down, unbelievably shocked before COLLAPSING on
               the ground, DEAD. Danyael smiles, running back into the
               fight...

        38     INT. SANCTUARY - SECONDARY CHAMBER - NEXT               38

               ... just as Vivian, Lyra and the others arrive!

               Chris looks up, having STABBED another wolf - and sees Lyra.
               His face turns from one of concentrated anger to one of
               simple joy as he rushes forward and EMBRACES her.

                                   CHRIS
                         Lyra...

                                   LYRA
                         Chris, I'm sorry. I'm so -

               Chris silences her with a KISS, one that says all that needs
               to be said. Vivian rolls her eyes behind them, but smiles as
               well.

                                   VIVIAN
                         Get a room! 
                             (beat)
                         After we've saved wolfkind,
                         obviously.

                                   CHRIS
                         Lyra, I'm sorry, I just... I
                         shouldn't have used black magick. I
                         promised you I wouldn't, and I
                         broke my word to you.

                                   LYRA
                         And I'm sorry I left, I had to
                         learn about everything...
                             (beat)
                         I'm just really glad you're back.

                                   TWIST (O.S.)
                         Yeah, yeah, and I'm sorry I didn't
                         put money on Obama to win...

               Lyra turns, SMILING at Twist who ENTERS:

                                   TWIST (cont'd)
                         ... but let's leave the group
                         therapy til later, 'kay?

               Vivian reappears, followed by April and Ben supporting the
               weak Helen.

                                   VIVIAN
                         Come on, the Furs are trying to
                         find some way to escape, and we
                         need to help them!

               Chris is bent by Helen, moving the jacket to reveal the wound
               in her stomach. Opening a PACKET with his teeth, he SPRINKLES
               it onto her wound.

               Helen SCREAMS – but the wound is starting to KNIT itself back
               together.

                                   CHRIS
                         That should hold for the time being
                         until I can properly treat it.
                             (beat; to Lyra)
                         Can you find the Furs' trail?

               Lyra takes a breath, clearing her mind and starts to HUM as
               the team defend themselves from a second onslaught of grey
               wolves.

               Then she's done – SHRIEKING at one wolf who EXPLODES in mid
               air at the force of her scream!

                                   LYRA
                         West, we have to keep going west.

                                   TWIST
                         That's my girl!

               She GRINS as our team rush off.

        39     INT. SANCTUARY - PRIVATE CHAMBER - NEXT                 39

               Rosheen RATTLES the door desperately, TEARS streaming down
               her face - as we PUSH INSIDE the room...

               ... just as Conall SLAMS a claw THROUGH Torin's CHEST!

               Torin looks up, blood BUBBLING from his lips - and he manages
               a SMILE, before he DIES.

               Conall SHAKES the body loose as we PULL OUT from this
               horrifying scene to find:

               The heavy door is still BOLTED SHUT, and as Conall races
               towards it Rosheen quickly LOCKS it from outside!

               An aggravated CONALL pounds on the door before looking round
               for another way out - heading to another door and KICKING it
               open.

        40     INT. SANCTUARY - CORRIDOR - NEXT                        40

               Rosheen SOBS uncontrollably, COLLAPSING in tears - just as
               Chris' team round the corner!

                                   MARCUS
                         Rosheen!

               The team slow down and Twist bends down to the inconsolable
               Rosheen.

                                   ROSHEEN
                         He... he killed him...

                                   TWIST
                         Who?

                                   ROSHEEN
                         Dad...

                                   MARCUS
                         No...

               Marcus looks horrified, like the bottom of his world fell out
               - or rather the top.

                                   LYRA
                         Conall did this?

                                   VIVIAN
                         And the prize goes to...

                                   TWIST
                         We'll get him. But you need to come
                         with us.

               Rosheen looks up, SNIFFING and then gets to her feet, WIPING
               her eyes.

                                   ROSHEEN
                         Mourning later, right?

                                   TWIST
                         Attagirl.

               The team rush on, Marcus draping a protective arm around
               Rosheen's shoulders as we CUT TO:

        41     INT. SANCTUARY - CAVE - NEXT                            41

               The pregnant wolves before stand around the fire, children
               behind them - as grey wolves storm in.

               However the pregnant wolves SNARL and ATTACK and within
               seconds, the wolves are all dead!

               The team rush by and Vivian slows down, speaking to the
               mothers:

                                   VIVIAN
                         C'mon, we're getting out of here!

               The pregnant women, mothers and children hurry out, STEPPING
               quickly over the bodies of the deceased as we CUT TO:

        42     INT. SANCTUARY - NORTHERN CORRIDOR - NEXT               42

               Our team hit a T-junction, two corridors forking out left and
               right.

                                   TWIST
                         Okay... right. It's always right.

               Suddenly Danyael RUNS down the right hand corridor, stopping
               dead when he sees the team.

                                   TWIST (cont'd)
                         Spook!

                                   DANYAEL
                         No time! That way!
                             (beat)
                         Lyra?

                                   VIVIAN
                         Left, right?

                                   DANYAEL
                         Left!

               The team race down the left-hand path as we CUT TO:

        43     INT. SANCTUARY - EXIT - NEXT                            43

               The largest group of Furs, some fine, some battered and
               bruised hurry forward towards a HOLE in the mountain,
               overlooking the valley - when GREY WOLVES appear, COVERING
               the exit in record time!

               The Furs SIGH, WHIMPERING as Conall steps out, smiling
               maliciously. Flanking him are Bevin and the other grey
               wolves.

               Suddenly our team arrive, PUSHING their way through the
               crowds of Furs until they directly oppose Conall. 

               However, the de facto leader of the Furs steps forward - and
               it's MARCUS, looking the most beaten of them all.

                                   CONALL
                         Aww, it's the big bad wolf. Ready
                         to become the aperitif before the
                         biggest wolf dinner in history?

               His wolves CHEER delightedly - but Marcus continues to step
               forth into the circle that's been inadvertently set up.

                                   MARCUS
                         You. Me. Closed conflict.
                             (beat)
                         This decides the fate of everyone.

                                   CONALL
                         What, like poor Papa Black Fur did?
                         Right before I pulled his heart out
                         from his chest?

               Marcus and the others look shocked - but Rosheen holds back
               her tears bravely.

                                   MARCUS
                         Are you scared, Conall?

                                   CONALL
                         Absolutely not.

                                   MARCUS
                         You should be.

               As the two wolves circle each other, preparing for the
               titanic battle, we're forced to:

                                                             BLACK OUT:



                                  END OF ACT THREE
                                      ACT FOUR

               FADE IN:

        44     INT. SANCTUARY - EXIT - NIGHT                           44

               Marcus and Conall circle each other, CRIES and JEERS from
               both sides echoing in the expanse of the sanctuary's exit
               chamber.

               Our team are watching as Conall lands the first PUNCH,
               knocking Marcus back a little - but Marcus SMASHES his leg
               into Conall's stomach, doubling him over.

               Vivian places a hand on Danyael's shoulder, making him turn
               to face her.

                                   VIVIAN
                         Danyael...

                                   DANYAEL
                         Vivian, can it wait?

                                   VIVIAN
                         It's... Siobhan.

               Danyael turns fully then, scanning the crowds - and finding
               that Siobhan's not there.

                                   DANYAEL
                         Where is she? Vivian, where the
                         hell is she?

                                   VIVIAN
                         Back at the dam, she...

               Vivian is looking genuinely upset.

                                   VIVIAN (cont'd)
                         She saved a lot of lives. A whole
                         town.

                                   DANYAEL
                         No. No, she... she can't be...

               Shellshocked, we PULL AWAY from Danyael's grief to:

               MARCUS

               Who's SMACKING the crap out of Conall - but receives a
               vicious ROUNDHOUSE KICK that SNAPS his head back.

                                   CONALL
                         Come on, Marcus! You're stronger
                         than this! Or has staying with
                         vampires, kiddies and a freak made
                         you soft?

                                   TWIST
                         Hey, don't call Chris a freak!

                                   LYRA
                         I think he meant me.

                                   TWIST
                         Yeah, well, he's way freakier. He's
                         British freaky.

               Marcus SNARLS, FLIPPING to his feet and SLUGGING Conall in
               the face, but Conall SWEEP KICKS Marcus, KICKING him in mid
               air as Marcus HOPS over the kick.

               Marcus SLAMS INTO one of the walls, allowing Conall to throw
               a wild punch into Marcus' face - which he DUCKS, forcing
               Conall's hand to SHATTER rock and rubble, sending them flying
               into the crowd.

               However the rock has started off a chain reaction - and a
               large piece CRACKS off, SLAMMING DOWN towards the two...

               ... just as Lyra senses it and HUMS quickly, FREEZING the
               debris in mid air. 

               It starts to travel across the room, landing in a heap -
               distracting Conall enough for Marcus to HOOK KICK him,
               knocking Conall down in a SPIRAL of MOVEMENT.

               Bevin almost rushes to his side, worry etched on her face as
               Conall gets to his face.

                                   BEVIN
                         Baby, don't get hurt fighting him!

                                   CONALL
                         Don't worry, honey, it'll be over
                         soon.

                                   MARCUS
                         Have to disagree...

               Marcus KICKS him in the chest.

                                   MARCUS (cont'd)
                         Honey.

               Marcus LUNGES for Conall but Conall SIDESTEPS and SNAP KICKS
               Marcus in the side, DROPPING him to his knees.

               However as Conall raises his leg, ready to AX KICK Marcus,
               the Black Fur FLIPS his legs around, TRIPPING Conall up. A
               FIST to the face and an ELBOW to the chest keep Conall
               down...

               ... as Bevin rushes into the circle, CLAWS out!

                                   BEVIN
                         No!

               But something TACKLES Bevin, forcing her out of the circle -
               and it's ROSHEEN! 

               Bevin SMACKS Rosheen in the face, DROP KICKING her away, but
               Bevin sees that it's only temporary as Rosheen gets to her
               feet.

               Bevin bends down, SNATCHING a handful of DUST from the rubble
               and aims it for Rosheen - but Rosheen SLIDES ALONG the ground
               and KICKS UP at Bevin, sending the dust back into her face
               and BLINDING her!

               Rosheen KNOCKS Bevin's feet from under her, Bevin CRACKING
               her head against the stone - and Rosheen STABS Bevin in the
               heart with a SWORD!

               PULL BACK to find that it's VIVIAN who threw it to her!

               Bevin GASPS, flailing - but the life leaves her quickly,
               Rosheen's face remorseless and cold as she looks at Bevin's
               DEAD form.

               Conall GAPES, shocked beyond belief, leaving Marcus free to
               grab Conall's neck in a death-hold.

                                   MARCUS
                         It's over, Conall...

                                   CONALL
                             (beat; flat)
                         Bevin...

               A few TEARS spill from his eyes as he gazes upon Bevin's
               still body.

                                   CONALL (cont'd)
                         Kill me all you like, Marcus. But
                         know this...
                             (beat)
                         I've already won. You and your Furs
                         are powerless. You've got no-one
                         left to guide you. To lead you.
                             (beat)
                         You're broken, Marcus. All of you!

                                   MARCUS
                         No. You don't understand true
                         leadership.
                             (beat)
                         We will never be broken while one
                         of us stands to fight, stands for
                         what's right and stands against
                         people like you.
                             (beat)
                         Goodbye.

               And with that, Marcus SNAPS Conall's neck - KILLING him once
               and for all!

               Conall's body drops to the ground and there's an instant
               reaction.

               The Furs CHEER as one solid group, YELLING in victory and
               joy. The grey wolves on the other hand look terrified of what
               may come...

               ... so they RUN - SPRINTING out of the exit, POUNCING and
               MORPHING INTO their wolf forms!

               A few Furs give chase - but most resort to JEERS and then
               start HUGGING each other, happiness radiating off them.

               Move into SLOW MOTION as we PAN ALONG the smiling faces of
               the Furs - and find Marcus kneeling next to the bodies of
               Conall and Bevin. 

               Rosheen drops a hand to his shoulder, forcing him to face
               her. He stands and then KISSES her slowly, reverently as they
               savour the moment of just being alive.

                                                           DISSOLVE TO:

        45     INT. SANCTUARY - CHAMBER - LATER                        45

               Still in SLOW MOTION, we watch as Sophia RUSHES into Twist's
               arms, both of them GRINNING with delight.

               PULL BACK to see the bodies of Torin and Keegan laid out,
               sheets placed over their forms respectfully. Rosheen kneels
               by her father's as Dermot does by Keegan.

                                                           DISSOLVE TO:

        46     INT. SANCTUARY - SECONDARY CHAMBER - LATER              46

               The bodies of the fallen are being gathered. Chris and Vivian
               are among those helping. Merielle and Ford are seen together,
               talking and SMILING.

               Lyra, sat with Sophia, watches, creating shapes with her
               voice for the young girl.

                                                           DISSOLVE TO:

        47     INT. SANCTUARY - CHAMBER - LATER                        47

               Twist looks over at Danyael, mournful, but before she can
               make her way over:

               Vivian makes her way over to Danyael who is sat hunched over,
               eyes dark and sullen.

                                   VIVIAN
                         Hey.

                                   DANYAEL
                         Hey.

                                   VIVIAN
                         So...

                                   DANYAEL
                         Vivian, right now I could use some
                         alone time.

                                   VIVIAN
                         You probably could.

               And she sits down next to him, pulling off her boots and
               tossing them aside.

                                   VIVIAN (cont'd)
                         But you're stuck with me.

               He looks across, but she just quirks an eyebrow back. He
               SIGHS, and she reaches over to lay an arm round him.

               Twist watches as Vivian pulls Danyael into a comforting hug,
               before she turns and walks away:

               It's grins all round as we DISSOLVE TO:

        48     INT. SANCTUARY - BALCONY - NEXT                         48

               Twist is sat there, in what's rapidly becoming her favourite
               spot - glancing up as Marcus enters.

                                   MARCUS
                         Hey, Twist.

                                   TWIST
                         Hey, Chewie.
                             (beat)
                         You okay?

                                   MARCUS
                         Just a little...

                                   TWIST
                         Shocked?

                                   MARCUS
                         Yeah. And I just can't believe that
                         it's all over. The war. Conall.

                                   TWIST
                             (nods)
                         Having to spend a week without
                         shampoo or 'Heroes.'

               Marcus gives her a look - and then GRINS, managing to break
               the gloomy mood.

                                   TWIST (cont'd)
                             (beat)
                         Listen, what you said before about
                         looking after Sophia...

                                   MARCUS
                         Yeah?

                                   TWIST
                         I'd like to take you up on that.
                         Because no doubt, we'll be dealing
                         with something that will probably
                         end up with one of us dead. And I
                         can't let that be Sophia.

                                   MARCUS
                         I don't follow.

                                   TWIST
                             (sighs)
                         It's Parker. Lyra says she trashed
                         his base pretty good, but we need
                         to be sure he's gone. Soon as we're
                         done here, we're shipping out to
                         finish the job.

                                   MARCUS
                         What makes you so sure you won't
                         all make it back from that?

                                   TWIST
                         Past experience.
                             (beat; softer)
                         Please, Marcus. Look after her for
                         me. I need to know she's safe so I
                         can focus on what's gotta be done.

               Marcus reaches over and SQUEEZES her hand gently.

                                   MARCUS
                         You know I will.
                             (beat)
                         Sister.

                                   TWIST
                         Thanks... bro.

               PULL DOWN from this tender moment into:

        49     INT. SANCTUARY - CHAMBER - LATER                        49

               CAMPFIRES are continuing to burn in circles as all of the
               Furs watch the TABLE in the centre of the chamber. It's
               practically broken in two - JAGGED pieces SCATTERED on the
               floor.

               Chris, Twist, Danyael, Lyra and Vivian watch nearby as
               Dermot, Rosheen and Marcus stand in front of the Furs.

                                   MARCUS
                         We have lost too many over the
                         years. Only by pulling together
                         have we survived. Alone, we're
                         nothing.

                                   ROSHEEN
                         If we continue fighting, then
                         Conall may as well have killed us.
                         This was a sign of change.

                                   DERMOT
                         Torin and Keegan died as an example
                         to us. They showed us that every
                         last one of us is no longer a White
                         Fur or a Black Fur. We are Furs and
                         we are proud!

               CHEERS erupt from the crowd - and then Chris hands them a
               CEREMONIAL AX, ENGRAVED with symbols similar to the ones
               we've seen from the Furs.

               Marcus grasps the handle of the ax - followed by Rosheen,
               covering her hand with his. Dermot places his hand on along
               with them as they raise the ax towards the table...

               ... bringing it down with a CRASH, SMASHING the segregated
               table into two!

               HOLD ON this sight for a long beat before we DISSOLVE TO:

        50     EXT. SANCTUARY - LATER                                  50

               The tattered, battered VAN, driven by Danyael, ROLLS INTO
               VIEW. The engine SPLUTTERS as he stops it - definitely our
               team's van, then.

               He gets out, to find Chris, Vivian, Lyra, Twist and Sophia,
               as well as April, Ben, Helen, Marcus, Dermot and Rosheen.

                                   DANYAEL
                         Home sweet home, right?

               The team nod, breaking off into groups to say their goodbyes.
               Marcus HUGS Lyra and Vivian affectionately before moving to a
               small ROCK where Sophia and Twist are sat.

                                   SOPHIA
                         You'll definitely be coming back,
                         right?

                                   TWIST
                         Course. I've still gotta take you
                         around the world, haven't I?

                                   SOPHIA
                         Yeah. We can go to Disneyland or
                         New York City or...

                                   TWIST
                         Easy, girl. Make all the plans you
                         want, but I might be a while. 'Kay?

               Sophia nods, but looks saddened all the same. Twist's
               expression mirrors her as she bends down to Sophia's height.

                                   TWIST (cont'd)
                         Hey, c'mon. You know there's plenty
                         of people out there in the world I
                         need to help. And you've gotta be
                         strong.

                                   SOPHIA
                         For you?

                                   TWIST
                         No, for Uncle Marcus.

               Marcus GRINS at this.

                                   TWIST (cont'd)
                         He gets scared really easily, so
                         you're gonna have to be his
                         bodyguard, right?

               Sophia GIGGLES at this and NODS.

                                   TWIST (cont'd)
                             (beat)
                         I love you.

                                   SOPHIA
                         I love you too.

               They HUG, the sweetness reflecting in Marcus' warm expression
               as he HUGS Twist for a long beat before letting her go.

               Vivian watches as Chris and Lyra KISS, sharing a quick
               romantic moment. Smirking, she walks along, SLAPPING Chris
               upside his head.

                                   VIVIAN
                         What have we said about public
                         displays?

                                   CHRIS
                         We're in the forests, Vivian. It's
                         hardly 'public.'

               They continue, Vivian ROLLING her eyes as we PUSH ALONG to:

               Danyael, who's stood with the three rebel vamps. Helen's
               stomach wound is covered with a GAUZE but otherwise they look
               relatively healthy.

                                   DANYAEL
                         So, we can give you guys a lift...

                                   HELEN
                         Actually... we're gonna stick
                         around for a while.

                                   DANYAEL
                         What?

                                   BEN
                         We fought on the front lines,
                         Danny, and I think they've accepted
                         us as honourary wolves.

                                   HELEN
                         And staying with Parker's enemies
                         while he rounds us up is probably a
                         hell of a lot safer than running
                         around scared.

                                   APRIL
                         Plus. We're pretty sure we can sign
                         a lot of these guys to help us out
                         when our own war starts.

                                   BEN
                         You know it's coming, Danny.

                                   DANYAEL
                         Yeah... yeah, I know. Just hope it
                         can wait a little longer, is all.

               Danyael nods - not sadly - hugging each of them goodbye,
               before they go and stand beside Marcus and Rosheen. 

               The team enter the van, Twist holding Sophia's gaze for a
               long beat before she ENTERS:
