CLOSE UP: A human hand lying limp and bleeding on the passenger seat. Blood drips from between the fingers.
CLOSE UP: A soldier’s face; clearly dead. His eyes and mouth are open, his brains splattered against the inside window of the cab. It’s a gruesome site.
The camera tracks along the front of the truck where we find the body of another dead soldier before landing on a pair of boots leaning up against the front of the truck.
CLOSE UP: Hand slams a CLIP into an Iranian made MPT-9K submachine gun and cocks it. We pan up to reveal HOSS BENDER, an evil looking henchman. He raises the gun and aims it at a SOLDIER running away in the distance. He lets off a few loud cracks of gun fire. The man falls, dead.
Hoss looks up to see five black SUVs approaching.
CLOSE UP - An industrial drill bit boring into metal.

Series of shots: Zeke unzipping a duffle bag, pulling out a smoke GRENADE LAUNCHER, loading a cartridge and shoving the barrel into the hole.
Zeke pulls the trigger.
Moments later, the SUVs arrive. Several large men emerge with semi-automatic weapons.
We track one of these men as he steps from the lead car and approaches the truck. The men circle around him. This is their leader -- DIETER VON CUNTH, 60, handsome, charming. Cunth is closely followed by CONSTANTINE BACH -- bald, no eyebrows, terrifying. Close behind them are HECTOR AND EDWIN CULEBRA, both 39, two large, scary looking twins.
Dieter steps forward, crushing a cigarette under his boot.
CLOSE ON: the back doors of the truck are opened to reveal another set of doors with an elaborate alarm mechanism.
Zeke takes a descrambling device from his duffel bag and hooks it up to the alarm. The code is immediately broken. Airlocks hiss as the doors swing open.
Through the smoke, we reveal sleek metal walls -- this is no ordinary truck. Men in military uniforms are strewn unconscious on the floor. In the middle of the truck is a NUCLEAR MISSILE with the letters “X5T-337TVS” written on the side.
Zeke whistles reverently.
VOICE (O.S.) (in Russian) Don’t. You can’t.
Cunth looks down at the bloody body of a DYING SOLDIER. His hand pulls at Cunth’s pant leg.
Focus in on the gun barrel. Cunth pulls the trigger. BLAM!

Vicki smiles.
Reveal Casey’s ghost behind Vicki. She shakes her head no.
Vicki turns behind her, but there’s nobody there.
As MacGruber smiles at her, he notices an odd waiter with major burn scars and a prosthetic hand in the distance. He follows the waiter with his eyes.
