EVELYN
How did I die?
ALPHA WAYMOND
I’ve seen you die a thousand ways.
In a thousand worlds. In every Single one, you were murdered.
Alpha Waymond heads down the stairs.
EVELYN
What!? Who wants me dead?
(MORE)
ALPHA WAYMOND
An evil omniversal being with unimaginable power. An agent of pure chaos, with no real motives or desires. Jobu Tupaki.
EVELYN
You’re just making up wordsWaymond puts his hand on her lips. A few floors below, they catch a glimpse of police headed up towards them.
They head back up the stairs.
ALPHA WAYMOND
(into earpiece)
We need another exit.
EVELYN
Wait. Why is Joey Joowee hunting me?
ALPHA WAYMOND
Jobu Tupaki. Because she knows, no matter how powerful she is, no matter how unlikely it is, in an
infinite number of universes, there has to be at least one where Someone can stop her.
27 INT. IRS 8TH FLOOR CORRIDOR
EVELYN
Let her destroy the other bubbles.
You say there is a lot of them, maybe it’s okay if we lose some.
Just leave me out of it.
Alpha Waymond gets serious.
ALPHA WAYMOND
It’s not so simple. She’s been building something. We don’t know exactly what it is. We don’t know what it’s for. But we can all……
feel it. You’ve been feeling it too, haven’t you? Something is off.
Your clothes never wear as well the next day, your hair never falls in quite the same way, even your coffee tastes…… wrong.
ALPHA WAYMOND (CONT’D)
Our institutions are crumbling, nobody trusts their neighbor anymore, and you stay up at night wondering to yourself……
EVELYN
How can we go back?
Evelyn is completely taken in by Alpha Waymond’s speech.
ALPHA WAYMOND
This is the Alphaverse’s mission:
To take us back to how its supposed to be. But that begins with finding the one who can stand up to Jobu’s perverse shroud of chaos. One who believes in truth and order.
EVELYN
And you think that’s me?
ALPHA WAYMOND
Why else would we risk everything to get you out of here?
The color drains from her face. He pulls her into an office Space to reveal:
28 INT. IRS 8TH FLOOR - CUBICLES
DEIRDRE (BAGEL)
There you are.
EVELYN
Oh, Miss. Deirdre, look I think I
finally understand--
Deirdre is wearing her own modified bluetooth headsets. She picks up a post-it note and staples it to her forehead. We See that her hands are red: blood. The headsets turn GREEN.
EVELYN (CONT’D)
What’s she doing?
ALPHA WAYMOND
Verse jumping. Run!
Deirdre slams the stairwell door shut. Evelyn and Alpha Waymond run. They spot dead bodies around the room.
Deirdre presses the button, her head cocks back. She opens her eyes and flips a table with incredible strength.
As they flee. The camera pushes into Waymond’s head-
29 ALPHAVERSE: INT. LAUNDRY RV CONTROL ROOM
ALPHA OFFICER #1
She jumped somewhere: brute force.
Sumo wrestler? Body builder?
ALPHA WAYMOND
Doesn’t matter. Counter with Someone agile.
An onscreen interface rapidly scans a cluster of circles each representing other universes. A few begin to blink.
ALPHA OFFICER #2
On your perimeter we’ve got break dancer, mime, gymnast
ALPHA WAYMOND
Give me gymnast! Go!
ALPHA OFFICER #1
Calculating route……
Onscreen, we see rapidly flashing images of gymnasts. Then flashing paths through circles. Finally a path solidifies.
"ROUTE FOUND"
ALPHA OFFICER #1 (CONT’D)
Paper cuts. Four of them. One between each finger.
30 INT. IRS 8TH FLOOR
Waymond rips some paper from a bulletin board and starts trying to slice paper cuts while running. It’s not working.
ALPHA WAYMOND
Paper cuts only happen when you aren’t trying. It’s impossible.
ALPHA OFFICER #1 (O.S.)
Probability of 1 in 8 thousand.
It’s the strongest jumping pad we’ve got.
Frustrated, Alpha Waymond gets down on one knee to focus.
EVELYN
What are you doing?!
SLICE. One down. Deirdre is closing in on them.
SLICE. Two down.
SLICE. Three down. Evelyn leaves him behind and runs.
SLICE. That’s four. The bluetooth turns GREEN. He is about to press the buttonDeirdre catches his hand. With effortless strength, she lifts him up in the air, and spins him over her head like a pro wrestler. His headsets fly out of his ears.
31 ALPHAVERSE: INT. LAUNDRY RV CONTROL ROOM
ALPHA OFFICER #1
Is that…… pro wrestling?
ALPHA OFFICER #2
She’s going for a backbreaker!
32 INT. IRS 8TH FLOOR
Deirdre lifts him up to drop on her knee, but Alpha Waymond grabs an exit sign and holds on as Deirdre tries to tug him away. The exit sign rips from the ceiling. Just as Deirdre drops him, Alpha Waymond slips the sign between his spine and her knee.
The exit sign shatters. It’s painful as hell for both of them, but at least Alpha Waymond’s spine is intact.
As Alpha Waymond painfully begins to retreat, Deirdre runs at him and drop kicks him in the chest with both legs knocking him back down a nearby stairwell.
Deirdre shuts the door and shoves large filing cabinets to block it.
Across the room, Evelyn hides under a desk.
33 ALPHAVERSE: INT. LAUNDRY RV CONTROL ROOM
ALPHA OFFICER #1
She’s gotta run.
ALPHA WAYMOND
No! She can jump. Somewhere she can fight.
ALPHA OFFICER #2
How did I die?
