What In The World! Season 2 Episode 8: The Battle of Phoenix Ass (SEASON FINALE)


INT. HOUSE - DAY
The sun rises.
The group cleans up the debris around the house.
EXT. HOUSE - DAY
Outside, Tyler and Greg dig a grave next to Sugar Mama’s and place Hudson's body in it. They place the dirt back in. Tyler places a makeshift cross on the grave.
INT. HOUSE - DAY
Daniel and Joel clean up the house. Tyler and Greg enter the house.
TYLER
So what now? This is exactly what happened at the university. Some group hates us and wants to kill us. Except, this time they actually did.
A car horn honks. The group exits the front of the house. Joel pulls out his Glock.
In front of the house are three black SUVs. Boss stands outside of the middle SUV.
BOSS
Hello Daniel. Nice to see you again. Looks like you had one hell of a night.
DANIEL
Yeah. We did.
TYLER
Thanks to you, one of our friends is dead.
BOSS
Hmmmm. Well, I can’t say I feel bad. You see, one of you killed my friend Adrian.
DANIEL
What the hell do you want?
BOSS
I’ve come to offer you a solution to this mess of ours. One that results in you getting your girlfriend back.
DANIEL
Is Bailey alright?
BOSS
Yes.
Boss motions to the SUV behind him. The window rolls down and Bailey is revealed. She looks roughed up. Her hair is a mess, her lips are dry, and her face is slightly bruised.
BOSS
Although, she has suffered a broken bone and gunshot wound.
Boss chuckles to himself.
BOSS
Very unlucky if you ask me.
DANIEL
What do you want?
BOSS
I asked you to leave town. But I’m a man of compromise. So here’s the solution
DANIEL
What are you proposing?
BOSS
You can stay at your house. Stay away from Green Park and the Amazon facility. In return, we’ll stay away from you and also give you Bailey.
DANIEL
Deal.
BOSS
One more thing. You give me the guy who killed twenty of my men with a fucking chainsaw including my friend Adrian.
DANIEL
Greg?
BOSS
Yes.
DANIEL
No.
BOSS
Are you sure you want to do that Daniel? One man for peace? Seems like a fair trade.
DANIEL
Greg is our friend.
BOSS
And Adrian was mine. You have one hour to make a choice. Either leave town or give me Greg. There is a clearing in Phoenix Ass. We’ll make the trade there. See you then.
Boss gets into the middle SUV. The SUVs drive away.
The group goes back into the house.
INT. HOUSE - DAY
TYLER
We are totally screwed.
GREG
Not if I surrender.
DANIEL
No one is surrendering.
TYLER
I assume you have a plan?
DANIEL
Nope.
JOEL
Look, it’s obvious what we have to do.
TYLER
What?
JOEL
We take the tank and we destroy Green Park. Destroy them before they destroy us.
DANIEL
We are not using the tank.
JOEL
Well, at least I came up with a plan.
DANIEL
Look, let’s just... take a breather.
JOEL
All we do is take a breather. We need to be the first to act.
DANIEL
No. There has to be a better way.
JOEL
Look, Dan, your diplomacy is what I like about you as a friend but it also pisses me off to no end.
DANIEL
Well, forgive me for not wanting people to die.
JOEL
So I guess we’re just gonna forget about Winston?
Silence.
TYLER
What’re we gonna do Dan?
Daniel contemplates the situation. He turns to face the group.
DANIEL
We go to the meeting.
GREG
And I switch with Bailey.
DANIEL
No.
TYLER
You got a plan, don’t you?
DANIEL
No. Sort of. We’ve forgotten one thing. We have guns.
JOEL
You want to fight them?
DANIEL
Only if we have to.
Daniel extends his hand out.
DANIEL
For Bailey and Hudson.
Joel places his hand on Daniel’s.
JOEL
For Bailey and Hudson.
Tyler and Greg do the same thing.
TYLER & GREG
For Bailey and Hudson.
The group arm themselves. They load assault rifles. Joel loads his Glock. The group prepares to leave. Greg stands in his bedroom staring at a picture of him and Sugar Mama. He looks at his chainsaw and picks it up. He straps it to his belt.
EXT. HOUSE - DAY
Daniel, Tyler, and Greg exit out the back door and prepare to enter the woods. Joel stands in the doorway.
DANIEL
Remember the signal?
JOEL
Kinda hard to forget.
Daniel and Joel nod at each other. Daniel and the others enter the woods and walk down Phoenix Ass.
EXT. WOODS - DAY
Daniel, Tyler, and Greg walk down Phoenix Ass. After some time walking, they reach a clearing. It is a small cliff overlooking a creek. There, Boss stands surrounded by his men and women. Next to him is Bailey whose hands are tied.
Daniel, Tyler, and Greg stop a few yards away from Boss and his group.
BOSS
Am I correct in assuming you’ll be making a trade?
DANIEL
No.
BOSS
So you’ve come to die?
DANIEL
Nope.
BOSS
So why are you here?
DANIEL
I’m here to make YOU a deal.
BOSS
Oh really?
DANIEL
Yeah.
BOSS
And what is this... deal?
Daniel steps forward.
DANIEL
WE are going to stay away from each other. We’re gonna share this place. We’re gonna share the Amazon facility.
BOSS
And why, am I going to agree to that?
DANIEL
Because we have a tank.
Tyler lifts up an airhorn and presses the button.
Awkward Pause.
No tank arrives.
BOSS
You said you had a tank.
DANIEL
(To Himself)
Damn it, Joel.
BOSS
Ok, I admire the whole “Rick Grimes” “making a stand” thing but honestly, I’m sick of all this. Either accept my offer or...
Boss pulls out his gun and points it at Bailey’s head. Daniel takes a step forward.
BOSS
What’s it gonna be Dan?
Daniel and Bailey stare at each other.
DANIEL
L-Look just... just wait.
BOSS
Make a decision Daniel.
DANIEL
Please just... we can... we can live in peace... we can just stay away from each other. We can have peace.
BOSS
That isn’t how the real world works. You give me an answer right now or I paint the ground with her brains.
DANIEL
No! No, please. Please don’t hurt her. Take me. Take me and spare them.
BOSS
That was not the deal.
BAILEY
Dan... Dan.
Daniel looks at Bailey.
BAILEY
It’s ok. It’s gonna be ok.
DANIEL
Bailey-
BAILEY
I love you. I do.
Bailey turns to Boss.
BAILEY
Go to hell.
BOSS
I’ll take that as his answer.
Boss shoots Bailey in the head and she falls to the ground dead. Daniel and the others stare in utter shock. Daniel raises his rifle, yells, and begins shooting widely. Tyler and Greg follow suit. They shoot maniacally and hit some of Boss’ people Boss and his people take cover and return fire. Daniel and the others take cover behind some boulders. The two groups exchanged gunfire.
TYLER
Where the fuck is Joel!
GREG
Probably got drunk and passed out!
The two groups continue exchanging gunfire. Daniel, Tyler, and Greg manage to hit more of Boss’ people. Tyler’s rifle clicks.
TYLER
I’m out!
GREG
Same.
Boss and his people emerge from their covering and advance towards Daniel, Tyler, and Greg. Greg readies his chainsaw.
DANIEL
I’m sorry guys.
BOSS
You put up a good fight Dan. But it’s over. Come on over and I’ll kill you quickly.
Daniel and the others emerge from their cover.
DANIEL
I am going to kill you.
BOSS
Maybe in another lifetime.
There is a loud noise. Everyone turns towards the source. They see the tops of trees disappear. From the woods, the tank emerges into the clearing. Boss and his people stare in astonishment. The tank fires a shell and takes out some of Boss’ people. Boss and the others take cover. The tank hatch opens and Joel pops out.
JOEL
Tank motherfucker!
Tyler and Greg cheer. Daniel stares at Boss with rage. He picks up a rifle and starts shooting. He takes out some of Boss’ people. Greg revs his chainsaw and charges. He kills a bunch of Boss’ people. Joel continues firing the tank.
JOEL
Shit! I’m out of shells!
Joel jumps out and pulls out his Glock and starts shooting. Boss and only a few of his people remain. They charge at the group. The group charges back. Tyler is brutally stabbed in the stomach by one of Boss’ men and falls to the ground. The man continues stabbing Tyler’s dead body. Greg runs up to the man and brings his chainsaw down on the man splitting his head open.
Greg is shot in the back. He turns around and runs towards Boss’ men with his chainsaw raised. Boss’ men continue shooting Greg but Greg continues running towards them taking each bullet. The bullets become too much and he falls to his knees. Boss walks up to Greg.
BOSS
This is for Adrian.
Boss puts his gun to Greg’s head and shoots him in the head. Greg falls over dead.
There is a loud thundering noise. Everyone looks up. The clouds begin swirling. They turn green. Bolts of green lightning emerge from the clouds and hit Boss’ people vaporizing them. Everyone else takes cover.
A bolt of green lightning heads towards Daniel. Joel sees this and pushes him out of the way. Joel is hit by the lightning. The green lightning envelops him. He does not vaporize. He writhes in agony on the ground. The bolt disappears and leaves behind Joel’s dead body.
Only Daniel and Boss remain. They emerge from their cover.
BOSS
Well, I'll be damned. I thought that green shit was over with.
Daniel doesn’t answer. He continues staring at Boss with hatred.
BOSS
Look, I’m sorry I killed your girl. But we live in a new world now. Killing’s just the new norm.
Daniel charges at Boss and tackles him. They wrestle on the ground. Daniel punches Boss repeatedly. Boss pulls out a knife and stabs Daniel’s leg. Boss throws Daniel off and stands up.
BOSS
Goodbye Dan.
Above him, a green bolt prepares to strike. Daniel sees this. He kicks Boss who stumbles back. The green bolt hits Boss and vaporizes him.
Daniel lies on the ground. He is surrounded by death. He crawls over to Bailey's body. He looks at the bodies of his dead friends. He breaks down and cries. His wails echo among the woods.
Several minutes pass. Daniel stares at the green sky. He picks up Joel’s Glock and limps down Phoenix Ass. He limps over to the cliff-hanging and sits down. He gazes upon the green horizon. A gunshot echoes through the woods.
INT. UNKNOWN LOCATION - DAY
Daniel awakens in a clear glass medical pod. Wires are attached to his head. There is a breathing mask on his face. He rips the mask off. He bangs on the glass. He pushes and the pod opens. He sits up and then stands. He falls, vomiting onto the ground. The wires still attached to his head. He looks around him. In the room, are dozens of the same kind of pods containing people. All seem to be unconscious.
DANIEL
What... in... the world?
END.
