8 scenes[Lawrence's hideout: Thomas, Newt, Gally, Frypan, Brenda, and Jorge are gathered around a table going over plans to use Teresa to get into the WCKD tower.] [To Gally]
No, there's gotta be another way.
Like what? You've seen the building. She is our only way in.
[While Thomas and Gally are talking, Newt sits gazing at a helmet on a table.]
You really think she's gonna help us?
I don't plan on asking for her permission.
Brenda [Exasperated] [To Thomas and Gally]
Am I missing something here? This is the same girl who betrayed us, correct? Same dick?
Brenda [To Thomas]
What's going on?
[Enraged] [To Thomas]
What, are you afraid your little girlfriend's gonna get hurt? Hmm? This has obviously never been just about rescuing Minho, has it?
What– What are you talking about?
Teresa. She's the only reason that Minho's even missing in the first place. Now we finally have an opportunity to get him back. And what? You don't want to because of her? Because deep down inside, you still care about her, don't you? Just admit it.
Newt I–
[Slams Thomas against a wall in far more ferocity and savagery than before, shocking Thomas, Gally, Frypan, Brenda, and Jorge]
DON'T LIE TO ME!!! DON'T LIE TO ME!!! [Stares at Thomas in rage until he calms down, releasing Thomas] [To Thomas] [Remorseful] Sorry. [To Gally, Frypan, Brenda, and Jorge] I'm sorry. [Leaves]
[As Newt leaves, Thomas, Gally, Frypan, Brenda, and Jorge watch on, concerned over Newt's outburst, then gaze at each other in concern.]
[Thomas and Gally have brought Teresa to a candlelit church where Newt, Frypan, Brenda, and Jorge are. Thomas and Gally sit Teresa down on a chair. Newt pulls the sack off Teresa and goes to sit on a chair next to Thomas, who is sitting on a another chair. Gally, with his arms crossed and a folded paper in his hand, is leaning against a table. Frypan is standing behind Thomas behind the same table. Brenda is playing a card game at another table. Jorge is standing behind the first table.]
[Seeing that Gally is alive, but Thomas, Newt, Frypan, Brenda, and Jorge already knew] [To Gally]
Gally?
[As Gally drops the paper on the table, Frypan leans against the first table behind Thomas.]
We're gonna ask you some questions– and you're gonna tell us exactly what we need to know. [Gets up] We'll start off simple. [Takes a chair] Where's Minho?
[Slams the chair down in front of Teresa and sits on it backwards] [To Teresa]
Don't look at him. Why you looking at him? Look at me. He's not gonna help you.
[As Teresa glances at Thomas and then gazes at Gally, Jorge goes to sit at another table opposite Brenda.]
Now, we know you have Minho in the building. Where?
He's with the others in holding. Sub-Level Three.
Twenty-eight.
Brenda [Gally glances at Brenda, then turns back to Teresa.] [To Teresa]
I can make that work.
[To Thomas, Newt, Gally, Frypan, Brenda, and Jorge]
No, no, you guys don't understand, the whole level's restricted. You can't get in without a thumbprint ID.
[Shrugs] [To Thomas]
Well, I don't know. We don't necessarily need her, [Gets up] right? [Puts aside the chair and walks over to the first table] Not all of her. [Picks up a scalpel] We just need her finger.
Gally, back off.
What are you, squeamish? [Gestures at Teresa with the scalpel] I guarantee you she's done a lot worse to Minho.
[Gets up]
That's not the plan. Back off. [Takes the scalpel from Gally, who goes to lean against the first table]
[To Thomas]
It won't make a difference. Do whatever you want to me. You still won't get through the front door. The sensors will pick you up the–
We know. We're tagged. Property of WCKD. [Approaches Teresa and crouches down beside Teresa's right] You're gonna help us with that, too. [Holds up the scalpel in front of Teresa]
[Teresa sits behind Thomas. She picks up a scalpel from a tray of other medical instruments on the first table.] [To Thomas]
Try to relax. This is gonna sting.
Let's just get it over with.
[As Teresa uses the scalpel to make an incision on the back of Thomas' neck, Gally and Frypan, whose trackers are already removed from the back of their necks by Teresa, are wiping the back of their necks with gauze.] [Removes the now blood stained gauze from the back of his neck] [To Frypan]
She enjoyed that. [Tosses down his gauze on the table]
You're probably right.
[Approaches Gally and Frypan with WCKD soldier jackets] [To Gally and Frypan]
Here. See if these fit. [Gives Frypan one jacket, then tosses Gally the other jacket]
Brenda [Newt takes off his jacket and prepares to put on his own WCKD soldier uniform.] [Approaches Jorge] [To Jorge]
Better get going, old man. [Tosses Jorge the keys. He catches them] Long road ahead of you.
You sure I can't talk you out of this? It's your last chance.
Brenda You know, it's not like you to shy away from a fight.
And it's not like you to go looking for one. I just can't help but think if I walk out that door, I'm never gonna see you again. Since when do we go sticking our necks out for strangers?
Brenda I was a stranger once, too.
Brenda [Brenda puts her hands on Jorge's shoulders and they gaze at each other, breathing in and out.]
Just don't leave us hanging.
No. Never.
[Brenda and Jorge hug. Once they finish, Jorge walks out, with Brenda watching on. As Jorge walks out, Teresa, while using tweezers on the back of Thomas' neck, turns to glance at Brenda, while Gally, while finishing getting ready, takes a pistol and starts loading it.] [To Thomas]
She's looking good. Healthy. How've you been getting her serum?
What are you talking about?
Brenda. I didn't think she'd still be alive. When was her last treatment?
At the Right Arm. The last time we saw you.
But that was months ago. [Pulls out Thomas' tracker from the back of his neck] Thomas, that's not possible. She should've turned by now. There's no way she could possibly still–
All right, that's enough. [Gets up, puts aside the chair, and walks away]
[Approaches Thomas and Teresa, having already finished getting ready] [To Thomas]
Everything okay over here?
[Glances at Gally, then turns back to Teresa] [To Gally]
Yeah. Yeah, we're done. [Walks away]
[Teresa starts to pick up a scalpel from the table.] [Grabs Teresa's hand before she can pick up the scalpel] [To Teresa]
Nice try.
Brenda [As Gally escorts Teresa outside, where Newt and Frypan are already waiting outside, having finished getting ready, Teresa secretly takes a piece of bloody gauze from the table. Thomas approaches Brenda, who is wiping a pistol with a cloth. He puts on a utility belt.] [To Thomas]
You were in love with her, aren't you?
Brenda Just be careful. You sort of have this problem where you can't walk away from people– even when you should. [Inserts a magazine into the pistol] You can't save everyone, Thomas. [Gives Thomas the pistol]
[Takes the pistol from Brenda]
I can try.
[As Brenda walks away to finish getting ready, Thomas **** the pistol.]
[Thomas, wearing a WCKD soldier uniform and helmet and holding a Launcher, and Teresa enter the lobby of the WCKD tower.] [To Teresa]
Don't stop.
[Thomas and Teresa walk through security scanners, which blink from red to green. As they make their way through the lobby, they walk past two WCKD soldiers. Thomas and Teresa come face to face with Newt, also wearing a WCKD soldier uniform and helmet and holding a Launcher. Newt has entered the lobby of the WCKD tower before Thomas and Teresa entered. Newt jerks his head for them to follow him and walks ahead. Thomas and Teresa gaze at each other before following Newt. They make their way down a staircase and into a corridor with a glass wall running along a parking garage. As Thomas, Teresa, and Newt make their way through the corridor, Gally, also wearing a WCKD soldier uniform and helmet and holding a Launcher and having entered the WCKD tower through a parking garage, walks alongside Thomas, Teresa, and Newt through the other side. He surges ahead to enter through a doorway to the corridor and smoothly cuts in front of Thomas, Teresa, and Newt. While leading the way, Gally briefly glances back at Thomas, Teresa, and Newt. Thomas, Teresa, Newt, and Gally arrive at a security door. Teresa uses her thumbprint ID to open the door and she, Thomas, Newt, and Gally walk into a stairwell.]
[As Thomas, Teresa, and Newt make their way down a stairwell, Gally approaches electrical boxes.] [To Thomas, Teresa, and Newt]
Hold on, hold on. [Feels the third electrical box] I can get in here. [Lifts up his helmet]
[Lifts up his helmet, to Teresa]
Stay there. [To Gally] Throw me the walkie. [Gally tosses him a walkie-talkie. He catches it]
[Teresa sits down on a step and Newt leans over the stairwell railing. As Thomas goes down the stairwell. Newt lifts up his helmet and starts coughing, with Teresa watching on. Newt notices and turns away from Teresa. As Gally starts cutting open the electrical box door using a handheld circular saw, Thomas walks back up the stairwell and makes his way over to the door he, Teresa, Newt, and Gally just entered.]
[Outside, Frypan, also wearing a WCKD soldier uniform, is climbing up a ladder leading up into a crane.] [On his walkie-talkie]
Yeah. Yeah, I'm getting there. Tell Minho "Hi," for me.
[Inside...] [Pulls open the electrical box door and gazes at the wires with labels on them] [To Thomas]
This'll work.
Brenda [Brenda is at a parking lot full of buses hiding from two WCKD soldiers, waiting for them to leave.] [On her walkie-talkie]
Status is, I'm working on it.
Brenda [On her walkie-talkie]
Don't worry. You know I'm gonna be there. [Runs to a bus once the two WCKD soldiers outside leave]
[Inside...] [Connects a jamming device to the wires and places it on the inside of the electrical box door] [To Thomas, Teresa, and Newt]
All right, let's go. [Closes the electrical box door]
[Lawrence's hideout: Lawrence's crew get a signal from Gally on a computer screen.] Member of Lawrence's crew: [To Lawrence] We got a signal.
Jasper
[To Lawrence]
Gally did it. We're in.
Good. Give me everything. I want full control.
[Gally is leading the three groups of Immune teenagers through a parking garage.] [On his walkie-talkie] [To Brenda]
Brenda, where are you? We're here!
Brenda [Brenda pulls up in front of them in a bus.] [Slides open the driver's window] [To the three groups of Immune teenagers]
Come on, let's go!
[Leads the teenagers into the bus] [To the three groups of Immune teenagers]
All right, let's go, let's go. Quickly, quickly!
[Gally and Brenda load the three groups of Immune teenagers into the bus.] [To the three groups of Immune teenagers]
Front and back, front and back, let's go!
Brenda [To Gally]
Wait, where's Thomas?
I was hoping he was with you.
[Brenda starts to step out of the bus, but Gally stops her.]
Wait, wait! Stay here with the kids. Wait here, just– I'll find him. [Pulls down his helmet] Just wait for us, okay? [Runs off into the parking garage]
Brenda [Watches Gally run off into the parking garage]
We're not going anywhere.
[Frypan, Brenda, and the three groups of Immune teenagers, one Immune teenage boy of whom is holding the sack containing the vials of serum, run outside the building and towards a berg that has landed outside the building.] [Sees Vince coming out of the berg] [To Vince]
Vince?
Hey, it's good to see you, too.
[Comes out of the berg] [To Frypan, Brenda, and the three groups of Immune teenagers]
Yeah, I know. I picked up a stray. Let's get out of here, all right?
Brenda [To Jorge and Vince]
We're not done yet. Thomas is still inside.
Brenda Hell yeah. [Takes Vince's hand]
[Frypan, Brenda, Jorge, and Vince load the three groups of Immune teenagers into the berg.]
[Thomas supports Newt, helping him into a transit station.] [To Newt]
We're almost there, Newt. Stay with me. Come on. [Newt collapses to the ground] Newt, no, no! Hey! [Grabs Newt under the arms and starts dragging him, but collapses to the ground]
[Thomas hears Teresa's voice broadcasted throughout the Last City.] [To Thomas]
Thomas? Can you hear me?
[At the berg, Frypan, Brenda, and Jorge hear Teresa's voice broadcasted throughout the Last City.]
I need you to listen to me.
[In the WCKD control room, Teresa is broadcasting her voice throughout the Last City.]
I know you have no reason to trust me– but I need you to come back. Thomas, you can save Newt.
[At the train station, Thomas gazes at Newt lying on the ground.]
There's still time for him. There's a reason Brenda isn't sick anymore. It's your blood. Do you understand? She isn't sick, because– because you cured her.
[At the berg, Brenda is touched over hearing Teresa tell Thomas that his blood cured her.]
She doesn't have to be the only one. All you have to do is come back. And this will all finally be over. Please. Just come back to me. I know you'll do the right–
[The lights in the station go out, replaced by a few blazingly bright emergency lights. Thomas turns around to see Newt standing up, with Newt facing away from him.] [To Newt]
Newt?
[Newt runs at Thomas, but Thomas moves out of the way and Newt falls to the ground. Newt gets back up.]
Newt. Newt, it's me. It's me!
[Newt runs at Thomas. Meanwhile, at the berg, Brenda is holding a vial of serum in her hands when Minho and Gally arrive.] [To Brenda]
Brenda! Where's the serum?!
[At the transit station, Thomas and Newt are rolling on the ground, then Thomas pushes Newt off him.] [To Thomas]
Tommy, kill me!
Newt, I'm here.
[Newt runs at Thomas, tackling him to the ground. Thomas tries to fight off Newt.]
Newt, please! Please!
[Pulling out Thomas' pistol from Thomas' holster, Newt **** it and raises it to his temple.] [Horrified]
NO! [Knocks the pistol out of Newt's hand]
Brenda [Losing control of himself, Newt roars at Thomas. Meanwhile, during the battle between Lawrence's crew and the WCKD soldiers, Minho, Gally, Frypan, and Brenda are running through the Last City. Minho, Gally, and Frypan take cover beside a car's left side, choosing instead to wait out the battle and let Brenda continue running instead of resuming running with her.] [As she runs]
Thomas!
[To Gally and Frypan]
Stay down! Stay down!
[At the transit station, Thomas pushes Newt off him, then Newt pulls out a knife from his belt and uses it to swipe at Thomas, knocking him down. Newt gets on top of Thomas and tries to stab the knife at Thomas, but Thomas stops the knife above his chest. Newt pierces the knife into Thomas' chest. Thomas kicks Newt off him, then punches him. Meanwhile, Brenda is still running. At the transit station, Newt swings the knife at Thomas, who dodges, then Thomas and Newt accidentally slam into each other. By the time Thomas and Newt pull apart, Thomas looks to see that Newt has stabbed himself in the chest.]
[To Thomas]
Tommy–
[Thomas and Newt gaze at each other before Newt collapses to the ground, with Thomas clinging onto him. As Thomas cries over Newt's dead body, Brenda arrives and sees Newt's dead body. Thomas and Brenda gaze at each other tearfully before Thomas gets up and picks up his pistol. Thomas gaze at Brenda and then at Newt's dead body, before departing, with Brenda watching on. As Brenda watches Thomas depart, Minho, Gally, and Frypan arrive and see Newt's dead body. As Minho and Frypan walk over to Newt's dead body and kneel down at it, Gally and Brenda stand watching on, Gally stroking the back of his own head and Brenda crying while holding the vial of serum in her own hand.]
[Teresa carries Thomas to the roof of the WCKD tower, which is now on fire. Teresa tries to carry Thomas to the door to the roof of the WCKD tower, but the door explodes in front of them. Thomas collapses holding his wound. Teresa crouches down next to him and gives him the vial of serum. Thomas takes it.]
I'm sorry. I tried.
I know.
[Thomas and Teresa kiss, then see the berg piloted by Jorge, with Minho, Gally, Frypan, Brenda, Vince, and the three groups of Immune teenagers in it, appear before them.]
I think I got him!
Brenda Yeah, that's him. I'll get the hatch.
All right, I got him, I got him, I got him.
[Getting Thomas up, Teresa carries him to the edge of the roof. As Jorge turns the berg around, Thomas collapses and Teresa crouches down next to him.] [Horrified that Thomas collapsed]
No!
[As Brenda approaches the lever of the berg and hits a button to open the ramp of the berg, Vince attaches a waist line to his waist.] [To Minho, Gally, Frypan, Brenda, and Vince]
I can't get any closer!
[The ramp of the berg opens and Minho, Gally, Frypan, Brenda, and Vince stand on it. As Teresa gets Thomas up, Jorge struggles to keep the berg still for Thomas to get on.]
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on!
[Thomas and Teresa approach the berg. Vince holds out his hand to Thomas.] [To Thomas]
Give me your hand!
[Jorge lowers the berg so Vince can hold out his hand to Thomas. Thomas takes it, but collapses.] [Horrified that Thomas collapsed]
No!
[Teresa gets Thomas up. Thomas tries to take Vince's hand, but Teresa, Minho, Gally, Frypan, Brenda, and Vince see the tower collapsing. Getting Thomas up, Teresa throws him onto the ramp of the berg. Minho and Vince pull him up before they, Gally, Frypan, and Brenda convince Teresa to climb aboard, but Teresa turns around to see the tower collapsing.] [To Teresa]
Teresa!
[Thomas and Teresa gaze at each other before the roof of the WCKD tower collapses beneath Teresa.] [Heartbroken and devastated]
NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
[Teresa falls, with Thomas, Minho, Gally, Frypan, Brenda, and Vince watching on in heartbreak and devastation. As Jorge flies the berg with Thomas, Minho, Gally, Frypan, Brenda, Vince, and the teenagers in it away, Gally, Brenda, and Vince roll Thomas onto his back. Pulling up Thomas' shirt, Minho, Frypan, Brenda, and Vince see the wound on his stomach and try to stop the bleeding. As Minho, Frypan, Brenda, and Vince try to stop the bleeding on Thomas' stomach, Gally starts to administer a bandage on Thomas' wound. As Thomas loses consciousness, Jorge flies the berg with Thomas, Minho, Gally, Frypan, Brenda, Vince, and the teenagers in it away.]
