Blade II Page #7

Another beat. Whistler doesn't stir. He's down for the

count. Blade pauses a moment, catching his breath as he

leans on Whistler's still form. He's exhausted.

BLADE:

Come on, Whistler.

He rises, heaving Whistler's body over his shoulder.

BLADE (CONT'D)

Let's go home.

EXT. THE CITY - NIGHT

Blade's battered Charger knifes through the snow-dusted urban

blight like a shadow. Boarded up businesses, tent cities,

doorways bombed with graffiti throwups -- wherever this

godforsaken Gomorrah is, it's definitely a notch down on the

misery scale from the city Blade used to call home.

Up ahead, the sprawl levels out, giving way to an ice-bound

harbor wreathed in fog.

INT. BLADE'S CHARGER - NIGHT

Blade drives on, inured to the sqaulor. He made peace with

the darkness a long time ago.

EXT. SHIPYARD - NIGHT

The Charger weaves its way through a maze of scrap metal and

rusty shipping containers, homing in on a sprawling warehouse

that's been cordoned off by cyclone fencing and razor wire.

Utlra-violent floodlights illuminate the area, while security

cameras keep a watchful eye.

INT. WAREHOUSE - INDUSTRIAL ELEVATOR - NIGHT

More UV lights flicker on. We're in a massive loading

elevator/platform which HUMS as it ascends, eventually

reaching its destination with a BOOMING CLANG. The doors at

the rear glide open. Blade guides the Charger out.

INT. SCUD'S WORKSHOP - NIGHT

Santa's workshop by way of Soldier of Fortune. Industrial

equipment is strewn everywhere. Mills, old furnaces, gutted

vehicles, an ad hoc surgical theater. We also notice the big

rig which Scud had been piloting. Because of various leaking

overhead pipes, the floor is slick with a sheen of water.

Blade kills his Charger, looking around as he climbs out.

BLADE:

Scud!

Blade's voice ECHOES throughout the cavernous room.

SCUD (O.S.)

Lock up your daughters, people --

ANGLE ON SCUD:

A handlebar moustached, weed-sucking stoner. Thrift-store

chic, wearing a Jimmy Walker "Dyn-O-Mite!" T-shirt.
