## Plot

### Under The Hood

The DUSTCAP and BUSTER retrieve a pair of batteries from the downed aircraft and triggers an old booby trap that causes them to flee the collapsing wreckage.

### Under Surveillance

The Dustcap retrieves a solar panel from an abandoned windfarm and is pursued by PIERRE, who has been captured by the ARKISTS and turned feral.

### Under Sail

Fleeing back to the COLOSSUS, they’re told by MORRIS to lead PIERRE on a chase around the area while he preps the motor.

### Under Pressure

With PIERRE hot on their heels, BUSTER uses the BINGY STICK to break the HAMELIN machine’s hold on PIERRE. Working together, the DUSTCAP and BUSTER throw PIERRE into the new solar motor on the COLOSSUS, jumpstarting it and curing PIERRE once and for all.

### Under Siege

The DUSTCAP and BUSTER make it back to COYOTE SKULL with the COLOSSUS only for the town to be put under siege by the ARKISTS.

## Transcripts

### SCENE 1: Under The Hood

INT. PLANE FROM PREVIOUS MISSION. CARGO HOLD.

FX: Sound of running feet along metal deck. Wind through holes in the hull. Downstairs.

BUSTER:

I love a good cargo hold! And I love a good cargo sled! Look at this one! It’s so shiny! Right. Responsible Buster. You put the harness on, and walk around a bit, get used to the heft. I’ll grab the batteries and this nice shiny solar motor. Pierre loves these! Put the batteries and the mother on the sled and

FX: BUSTER hauls the motor onto a sled.

FX: A small and very dangerous sounding ‘CLICK’

BUSTER:

Ah. Good news! Nothing’s exploded! Bad news! Everything REALLY wants to. Place is booby trapped. Big old pressure plate. That we’re on. Thinky Buster. RIGHT! I’ll strap in next to you, and on 3, pull, yeah? There might be a bit of anexplosion in a sec but the motor will be between us and…

FX: The sled is hauled backwards and slides over the plate …

…

It!

FX: Another click.

BUSTER:

…I KNEW IT’D

FX: A small but perfectly formed explosion.

BUSTER:

(COUGHING) BE FINE! IT’S ALL FINE! Apart from the motor but Morris’ll fix it! Hopefully… Sketchy? We’re on the way.

SKETCHY:

Done exploding? Cool. Dropping the coordinates into your headsets now. Morris has got your next destination. Looks like you’re going to the wind farm…

### SCENE 2: Under Surveillance

EXT. Outside. Big open spaces. Erratic but constant sound of wind turbines in the background.

BUSTER:

…This place is so cool, Morris! How’d you know the windfarm was here?

FX: MORRIS CLICKS ONTO THE LINE

MORRIS:

Helped build it. Powers us and a good chunk of NAS. Once we’re out of Dry Season again, and we’ve bartered for the parts, going to expand it so we can power the smaller towns too. Spares shed is at the far end of the compound. Follow the roads, get me some solar sheeting, get back here.

BUSTER:

How’s the solar motor we dropped off?

MORRIS (THE DEADEST OF DEADPAN RESPONSES): You used it as a flak jacket, Buster.

BUSTER:

Oh is that the time? Have to go! Bye Morris!

BUSTER:

Okey dokey! Straight to the end, grab the sheets, fashion a rudimentary kite, parasail home, MAYBE not that last bit… Wait. Dustcap. You see that? Those are tire tracks. COLOSSUS tire tracks Sketchy? (COMMS OPEN)Bad guys?

SKETCHY:

BAD guys. Tyres check out. It’s the Colossus truck you jettisoned.

BUSTER:

Thank you!

FX: DEAD. QUIET. THE SOUND OF WIND AND A DOOR BANG OPEN AND SHUT. OPEN AND SHUT.

Quick as you like, Dustcap. Let’s get those sheets… That door’s been forced hasn’t it? Sketchy?

SKETCHY:

The windmills are throwing off the thermograph, Buster. I can’t see if anyone’s in there.

BUSTER (AUDIBLY DISTRESSED):

Aw Beans. Okay. Okay. On 3?

3!

FX: Door clangs open. Rustle as sheets grabbed.

GOT IT! Oh that was well scary! Sketchy? We’re good.

FX: STATIC

CLARK:

We found your uncle, Buster. We put a mobile HAMELIN rig on him and…well, it broke him. Ask him yourself. Pierre! BRING HIM TO ME.

FX: A LOW, TERRIBLE GROWL.

FX: Door of the shed is SLAMMED open.

BUSTER:

Pierre? PIERRE GROWLS.

BUSTER:

PIERRE! New plan! Leg it!

### SCENE 3: Under Sail

EXT. Same as before but constant sense of danger as the wind turbines circle around us. PIERRE’s THUDDING footsteps are constant.

BUSTER:

HEAD FOR THAT WINDMILL! THE SAILS ARE GOING IT’LL SLOW HIM DOWN!

FX: THROM. THROM. THROM. THE SAILS PULSE AS THEY GET CLOSER. FX: PIERRE ROARS

BUSTER:

WOW THOSE SAILS GET CLOSE TO THE GROUND! SLIDE!

FX: THROM. THROM. THROM. THE WINDMILL BLADES POUND THEIR WAY THROUGH THE SKY.

Made it! Good job! That’ll give us some distance!

FX: PIERRE ROARS, SLAMS INTO THE SAIL. IT BREAKS.

FX: WINDMILL SHRIEKS! SAIL HITS THE GENERATOR! THE WINDMILL SHATTERS! THIS IS ACTUALLY WHAT HAPPENS WHEN ONE OF THESE BREAKS! JUST WITH MORE APE!

BUSTER:

It’s coming down right on top of us! Break left!

FX: WINDMILL CENTRAL TOWER SLAMS INTO THE GROUND. FIBERGLASS FRAGMENTS RAINING DOWN AROUND IT.

A MOMENT OF SILENCE.

FX: PIERRE CLIMBS ONTO THE SHATTERED WINDMILL AND \*ROARS\* BUSTER:

Okay! Okay! New plan! Again!

FX: PIERRE RUNS DOWN THE SHATTERED WINDMILL AT THEM!

BOB AND WEAVE YEAH! PUT THE WRECKAGE BETWEEN YOU AND HIM!

FX: PIERRE ROARS, LEAPS AND LANDS, SWATTING A PIECE OF WRECKAGE AWAY.

BUSTER:

PIERRE! PIERRE COME ON! IT’S ME, IT’S USTER!

FX: MORE RUNNING

BUSTER:

HE’S GAINING! JUMP THE FENCE! JUMP IT! IT MIGHT SLOW HIM DOWN!

FX: MORE RUNNING

FX: PIERRE CRASHES THROUGH THE FENCE LIKE IT’S TISSUE PAPER. BUSTER:

BINGY STICK! HANG ON!

FX: BUSTER FIRES UP THE BINGY STICK FROM MISSION 2

PIERRE:

BUSSSST…ERRRRRRR!

BUSTER:

UNCLE PIERRE! YOU’RE ALRIGHT!

PIERRE (FIGHTING IT EVERY STEP):

GET…AWAY…FROM MEEE (ROARS)

BUSTER:

He’s fighting it! The stick isn’t strong enough, but he is! COME ON, PIERRE!

PIERRE: ANGRYYYYYYYYY

BUSTER: I know, Uncle I

PIERRE:

MORRIS:

BUSTER:

### SCENE 4: Under Pressure

EXT. Same location as the first scene. Maybe a sensation of wind blowing? PIERRE just EATING the ground up behind us, pounding along, yelling.

PIERRE:

BUSTER:

BUSTER:

NOW!

The Dustcap kneels. PIERRE roars. BUSTER roars right BACK. They wrestle, and BUSTER, yelling with effort, throws him into the side of the solar motor. There is the mother of all KUUUUUUUUUUUNGGGGGS! And then…the engine starts.

BUSTER:

HOLD STILL, PIERRE!

FX: PIERRE ROARS AS MORRIS TEARS HIS HAMELIN RIG OFF. PIERRE bREATHES DEEP AND SLOW AND FEROCIOUS

BUSTER (EXHAUSTED BUT READY FOR MORE):

Judo…Buster…

PIERRE:

Good…work…nephew

FX: PIERRE dusts himself off.

FX: The sound of the Dustcap and BUSTER being hugged by a 500 pound ape very much in his feelings.

PIERRE:

I’m so sorry. Are you alright?

BUSTER: (SUPER EMOTIONAL)
