Earth 2: World's End (2014)- Apokolips Now (Transcript)


SCENE 1: THE MULITVERSE

THE MULITVERSE IS A LARGE NUMBER OF PLANETS THAT FORM A SPIRAL CIRCILING AWAY FROM A SUN, AMONG THE PLANETS IS EARTH 2 AND APOKOLIPS.

ALAN SCOTT: (V.O)
We of this Earth are so small and powerless... yet every decision we make spawns a new world. And one terrible mistake can create a future that we must endure for the rest of our lives... I wish I'd realized this before I was Earth's Green Lantern. Back when I was just Alan Scott, before I forgot to listen to the people who cared about me most.

SCENE 2: EARTH 2 (FLASHBACK) GOTHAM CITY- ALAN SCOTT'S APARTMENT

IN GOTHAM CITY, ALAN AND SAM ARE IN SCOTT'S APARTMENT. SAM IS SITTING ON THE SOFA WITH AN OPEN LAPTOP ON THE COFEE TABLE. THEY ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF A SERIOUS DISCUSION.

ALAN SCOTT:
I appreciate your concern, Sam, but this “Boom Tube” technology, as he calls it... it's fascinating. Imagine, Global Broadcasting Company could be broadcasting beyond our world.

SAM STANDS UP, PUTTING HIS HAND ON HIS SHOULDER.

SAM ZHAO:
You can't trust this guy, Alan. Dr. Sloan is using G.B.C as a front. I'm telling you... The Jaunt Initiative is too damned dangerous.

ALAN TAKES SAM'S HAND, WHO LOOKS DOWN AT THE FLOOR AS ALAN POINTS TO THE SKYLINE.

ALAN SCOTT:
You're the angel on my shoulder, Sam, and I love you for it. But look around... The world is doing fine, and I can make it even better.

SCENE 3: MONTAGE SCENE OF CHARACTERS

IN SMALLVILLE, LOIS, KARA AND CLARK ARE WALKING THROUGH THE KENT FARM.

IN GOTHAM CITY, SELINA, HELENA AND BRUCE ARE EATING DINNER IN WAYNE MANOR BY CANDLELIGHT.

IN LANSING, JAY AND MRS. GARRICK ARE WATCHING TELEVISION. A BLACK SHAPE IS HIDDEN BEHIND THE SOFA.

IN CHICAGE, BARBARA AND RICHARD GRAYSON ARE IN HOSPITAL. BARBARA IS LYING ON A TABLE, HEAVILY PREGNANT WITH A FEMALE DOCTOR TENDING TO HER.

IN WASHINGTON DC, KENDRA MUNOZ- SAUNDERS AND KHALID BEN- HASSIN ARE TOGETHER IN A ROOM FULL OF ANTIQUES AND ARTIFACTS. THEY ARE STANDING OPPOSITE AN UNKNOWN SHADOWY FIGURE.

SCENE 4: GLOBAL BROADCASTING CORPORATION- MOON SHOT DEVISION

TERRY SLAON IS SITTING ALONE AT A COMPUTER, WHICH HAS FORMED A SWIRLING MASS OF ORANGE ENERGY. SLAON PEERS INTO THE ORB, WHICH IS SHOWING HIM AN IMAGE OF MICHAEL HOLT.

TERRY SLOAN:
Very impressive. You could prove useful, Mr. Holt. I believe I'll have to add you to my collection...

SCENE 5: GOTHAM CITY- ALAN SCOTT'S PENTHOUSE

SAM IS SITTING SHIRTLESS ON THE BED. ALAN IS PUTTING ON HIT WORK SUIT, USING THE MIRROR TO PUT ON HIS TIE.

ALAN SCOTT: (V.O)
I trusted myself above all others... Even Sam.

SAM ZHAO:
Don't do this, Alan.

ALAN SCOTT:
Dr. Sloan believes we can make physical contact with other dimensions! This will put my name in the history books, Sam.

SAM ZHAO:
Then why are you keeping it a secret?

ALAN SCOTT:
The history books aren't ready just yet.

SAM ZHAO:
And you trust yourself to make that call? For all of humankind? I'm not asking you to stop the research. Just make it public...

ALAN SCOTT:
Enough, Sam I can do this alone. I'm Alan Scott, remember?

SAM BENDS OVER THE LAPTOP AND BEGINNING TO TYPE.

SAM ZHAO:
How could I forget? This is for your own good, Alan. I just hope I'm not too late.

SAM HAS AN EMAIL OPEN WITH THE MESSAGE “PLEASE SHARE THIS INFORMATION AS YOU SEE FIT...”

SCENE 6- THE 9TH DIMENSION

ON A ROCKY, MOUNTAINOUS PLANET, THE PARADEMON LEGION MARCH TO WAR. APOKOLIPTAIN DINOSAURS WALK AMONGST THEM.

STEPPENWOLF AND FURY ARE WATCHING THE ADVANCE.

STEPPENWOLF:
By giving us entry to this world, the traveler has saved his own, my daughter.

FURY:
We will feed this doomed world to Apokolips... For Darkseid.

GRUNDY IS WALKING HIGH ABOVE THE ARMY ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE, WALKING WITH THEM.

FURY: (CON'T)
Even the Avatars of this weak planet were easily seduced.

THEY LOOK DOWN AT THE ARMY. AMONGST THEM, BARDA AND MR. MIRACLE ARE BEING FORCED TO WALK. THERE HANDS ARE TIED BEHIND THEIR BACK. MIRACLE IS IN FRONT, HIS HEAD BOWED. BARDA HAS HER HEAD HELD PROUDLY.

FURY: Why are there traitors amongst us?

STEPPENWOLF:
The traveler is shrewd, but his mind will not be enough, Fury. We may soon have a need for Mister Miracle's improbable mental gifts.

FURY:
And my disgraced mentor? Shall I give her a quick death?

STEPPENWOLF:
Barda's skills have more... direct applications. A powerful Amazon inhabits this world, and she will not be easily vanquished.

FURY:
You speak of my mother. Wonder Woman.

STEPPENWOLF SMILES.

STEPPENWOLF:
Diana is your mother in name only, Fury. Remember that you are first a soldier of Apokolips. And you will always be your father's daughter.

SCENE 7- GOTHAM CITY: AIRBOURNE IN THE BATPLANE/ THE ACCOUNTABLE'S HOME

BATMAN IS SITTING IN THE BACK OF THE BATPLANE, WHILE ROBIN IS PILOTING.

ALAN SCOTT: (V.O)
And as mistakes compounded, we fell toward a dark fate.

BATMAN:
Steady, Helena. We're closing in on the hacking syndicate.

ROBIN:
You got it, dad.

IN HIS HOME, JAMES OLSEN IS WATCHING SLOAN THROUGH HIS LAPTOP, WHICH IS HACKING IT TO G.B.C SECURITY FOOTAGE.

ACCOUNTABLE:
Very naughty, Dr. Sloan. Accountable is going to have to hold you... Wait, why am I talking to myself?

OUTSIDE THE PLANE HAS LOWERED TO ROOF HIGHT.

BATMAN: (O.S)
Signal locked. Accountable is head of the syndicate, so expect heavy resistance. Stay focused.

ROBIN: (O.S)
I'm not even old enough for a learner's permit, remember? This is me focused.

INSIDE JAMES GETS SCARED AT THE SIGHT OF A PARADEMON, WHOSE PICTURE HAS FORMED IN THE SWIRLING ENERGY ORB.

ACCOUNTABLE:
What's that thing!?

BATMAN AND ROBIN KICK DOWN THE DOOR AND JAMES WHIPS HIS HEAD AROUND TO FACE THEM.

BATMAN:
James Olsen! You're wanted for treason!

ACCOUNTABLE:
Wait, Bruce, people have to see this! Terry Sloan is bringing something... transmitting..

BATMAN USES A GAS GUN TO KNOCK ACCOUNTABLE OUT.

BATMAN:
Bruce”? This kid knows way too much.

SCENE 8: METROPOLIS- INSIDE DAILY PLANET BUILDING

THE STREETS ARE BUSY AROUND THE DAILY PLANET BUILDING.

ALAN SCOTT: (V.O)
And so the Apokolips War began...

LOIS LANE IS LEANING ON PERRY WHITE'S DESK, WHO IS LOOKING AT A LAPTOP. HE IS VIEWING SOMETHING THAT ACCOUNATBLE HAS SENT.

PERRY WHITE:
I don't know why those rotten Accountable hackers love you,, Lois, but by the boots of Mercury... I'm glad they do!

LOIS LANE:
The scoop was cut off mid- transmission, Perry. I've got a bad feeling...

HER PHONE RINGS AND SHE PICKS UP, READING THE NUMBER TO BE SAM LANE.

LOIS LANE:
Dad?

SAM LANE: (O.S)
Lois, honey, you've got to get out of the city. Now.

PERRY AND LOIS LOOK OUT THE WINDOW AS A LARGE BOOM TUBE FORMS OVER METROPOLIS, UNLEASHING A HORDE OF PARADEMONS.

PERRY WHITE:
What is that...?!

THE PARADEMONS ARE ARMED WITH WEAPONS, DESTROYING BUILDINGS. THE GLOBE ONTOP OF THE BUILDING IS HIT AND TILTS BACKWARDS.

ALAN SCOTT: (V.O)
An army of Parademons... the demonic foot soldiers of Apokolips... Boiled out of Boom Tube portals, striking our largest cities.

This is the first 8 pages of the story- Full transcript will be added soon.
