WE CRANE UP as Logan starts up the stretch and makes a loop

in the lot, taking care to run over the three remaining

Bangers before laying rubber onto the highway...

MAIN TITLES BEGIN:

CALL-IN GUEST (O.S.)

Everyone’s asleep, Burt. Sleepwalking!

Hostages! No one cares!

Final Shooting - 8/23/2016 4.

INT./EXT. LIMO - EL PASO STREETS - NIGHT

LOGAN cruises the wet El Paso streets. LCD Billboards for

chemically enhanced life. Gang graffiti on self-driving

buses. A kaleidoscope of moments, dark and mundane.

CALL IN GUEST:

You can’t see the connection? Tween

the ice caps, pornographers, debt,

mutants, poisoned water, it’s all-–

Colored lights play against A TAXI & LIMO ID. Logan’s photo

over the name:
“JAMES HOWLETT”

CALL IN HOST:

Clyde, its 2026! We’re talkin ‘bout

a hostage crisis and you’re talkin’

mutants? That’s history, pal. Trey

in Galveston, you’re on!

A beat throbs through the partition. Logan’s eyes flick to--

FOUR INEBRIATED PROM BOYS in back, in pastel tuxes. Three of

them stand on the bench looking out the sunroof. They howl

and shout, “rapping” with the now blasting music, waving to

rain-soaked Hispanics at a HEAVILY GUARDED BORDER GATE.

CLOSE-- LOGAN as he endures the torture, jaw clenched, brake

lights on his face as WE CUT TO :

EXT. EL PASO GAS STATION -- EARLIER

Wet and bullet-riddled from the altercation with the Bangers,

Logan grabs a “back-up” suit from the trunk. He holds it up,

not in the best shape, but will have to do.

BACK TO:
INT./EXT. LIMO -- PROM CAR -- EL PASO STREETS

THE PROM TEENS in the back suck vape sticks and laugh. Two

get it on. One pitches forward and yells over the music.

TEEN:

Yo, Driver, you got any Bang in

this whip?!

Logan pretends he can’t hear. Instead, his gaze shifts to his

passenger visor, and what’s tucked there:

A PAGE FROM A SPANISH PENNY SAVER -- a USED 70 FT. SUNSEEKER

docked in the Gulf of Mexico, LA SERENATA painted on its

transom. Scrawled below: “Asking $60K.”

Logan stares hard at the image of the boat. Takes a centering

breath -- when the TEEN BEGINS KNOCKING on the partition.

Final Shooting - 8/23/2016 5.

TEEN (CONT’D)

Yo - Driver!

OTHER TEEN:

‘B*tch is deaf.

INT. EL PASO GAS STATION -- EARLIER

Logan cleans up at the sink. Allows a couple slugs to pop

from his (slowly healing) wounds as he changes into a clean

suit. Looks at himself in the mirror. HIS PHONE BUZZES.

LOGAN:

Back to work, old man.

EXT. PLAZA THEATER / ARENA EL PASO - NIGHT

Logan waits with other drivers as muffled off screen

“hallelujahs!” ring out O.S. He looks at a large screen TV

where the crowd can be seen, hands raised, praising God.

Everywhere are similar words in a "trademarked" design--
