MacGruber

by Will Forte, John Solomon & Jorma Taccone

SUPER OVER BLACK: DZHUGDZHUR MOUNTAINS, EASTERN SIBERIA

VOICE OVER CB
(in Russian)
(static) Wombat, this is Eagles Nest. We’ve lost your position.
2

INT. MILITARY TRUCK -- CAB -- DAY

CLOSE UP: A CB radio dangles uselessly from it’s base. A few words in Russian can be heard through the static.

VOICE OVER CB
(in Russian)
(static) Repeat, we have lost your position. Do you copy, Wombat?

CLOSE UP: A human hand lying limp and bleeding on the passenger seat. Blood drips from between the fingers.

VOICE OVER CB (CONT’D)
(in Russian)
(static) Wombat... (long static)
Where is the item?!

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.

VOICE OVER CB (CONT’D)
(in Russian)
Come in Wombat!

EXT. MILITARY TRUCK -- DAY

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.

HOSS
Right on time.
(calling out)
Zeke! Hurry the fuck up!
4

EXT. MILITARY TRUCK -- ROOF -- DAY

CLOSE UP - An industrial drill bit boring into metal.

SFX: Loud Drill

On the roof we find ZEKE PLESHETTE, a wild-eyed bald man with a pony tail. He wears aviator goggles and drills away at the roof while listening to headphones. He’s slightly crazy.

ZEKE
Almost... there.

The drill bit goes through. Zeke laughs with victory.

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 (CONT’D)
Nighty night.

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.

CUNTH
Open it.

CLOSE ON: the back doors of the truck are opened to reveal another set of doors with an elaborate alarm mechanism.

ZEKE
I got it.

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.

CUNTH
Finally.

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.

DYING SOLDIER
(in Russian)
Please don’t!
CUNTH
Sorry, I don’t speak Russian.

Focus in on the gun barrel. Cunth pulls the trigger. BLAM!

SMASH TO BLACK:

EXT. ANDES MOUNTAINS -- DAY

Stock footage of a military helicopter buzzing over beautiful mountain ranges.

Super: Rio Bamba, Ecuador

6

INT. HELICOPTER -- DAY

Lieutenant Dixon Piper, 28, handsome, shouts over the noise of the chopper to Colonel James Faith, 50, distinguished.

PIPER
Sir, I still don’t understand why we had to come all the way out here.
FAITH
Because, Lieutenant. We need the best.
PIPER
This guy’s that good?
FAITH
Yeah, he’s that good.
PIPER
But why can’t we stay inside the department?
FAITH
We need someone outside the system. Someone they’d never suspect.
PIPER
But sir, if this guy’s that good, won’t they be tracking him?
FAITH
Not possible.
PIPER
Why?
FAITH
Because... he’s been dead for ten years.
7

EXT. MONASTERY -- DAY

Piper and Faith are led through the majestic grounds by a small VILLAGE BOY. A bird caws in the distance.

They arrive at a courtyard. Seated in front of a large BUDDHIST SHRINE, we find a MAN deep in meditation -- he wears a sleeveless monk robe and sports a stringy mullet.

Colonel Faith and Lieutenant Piper approach quietly.

CU -- Faith’s boot steps on a very small leaf.

FAITH
Hello MacGruber.
PIPER
(in awe)
MacGruber?
FAITH
You forget, I taught you everything you know.

From his seated position, MacGruber does a backflip onto his feet.

MUSIC: there is a hint of a guitar wail

Faith smiles. MacGruber approaches them.

FAITH
MacGruber, this is Lieutenant Dixon Piper. Lieutenant, this is--
PIPER
The legendary MacGruber. Former navy seal, army ranger and green beret. Served six tours in Desert Storm, four in Bosnia, three each in Angola, Somalia, Rwanda, Mozambique and Sierra Leone. Recipient of sixteen purple hearts, three Congressional Medals of Honor, seven presidential medals of bravery, and starting tight end for the University of Texas El Paso.
FAITH
Mac, listen...
8

EXT. MONASTERY GROUNDS -- DAY

MacGruber walks outside, surrounded by children. He softly pats them on their heads as they yammer in Spanish. Faith and Piper follow.

One of the kids takes his watch and runs off.

FAITH
Look, MacGruber...

MacGruber watches the kid run off.

FAITH
Two days ago, a Russian convoy was transporting a high level asset and got jacked. Yesterday, reliable sources informed us that the asset made its way to US soil.
FAITH
MacGruber... it’s the X5.

MacGruber is stunned.

PIPER
The X5 is one of the most powerful nuclear warheads in the--
FAITH
Lieutenant. Can you give us a moment?

Piper reluctantly walks away.

FAITH
Look Mac, you’re our only hope. We need you. Your country needs you.

MacGruber looks off.

FAITH
Mac, if this is about Casey.
FAITH
MacGruber, listen.
FAITH
Well, the game has changed!
FAITH
MacGruber, it’s Cunth!
FAITH
We have reason to believe that the X5 is now in the possession of Dieter Von Cunth. Now I don’t need to explain to you how dangerous a nuclear warhead can be in the hands of a man like Cunth.
FAITH
MacGruber, this is your chance to finally take him down.
FAITH
If you change your mind.

Faith hands him a dossier and leaves.

9

EXT. MONASTERY -- NIGHT

Establishing shot.

10

INT. MONASTERY -- MACGRUBER’S ROOM -- NIGHT

Pan the room. It’s very spare. A few lit candles. There is a weight bench set up with a ton of weight on it. An easel with a full-body nude self-portrait -- the penis is tiny. Strewn on the floor are the contents of the dossier: surveillance photos of the hijacking, schematics of the X5, and finally a large file on Cunth. A large picture of Cunth looking rich and evil is tacked to the wall.

Pan over to MacGruber who is tossing and turning in his bed.

DISSOLVE TO:
11

EXT. GAZEBO -- DAY -- DREAM SEQUENCE

MacGruber in a white tux. Beside him is CASEY, 29, beautiful, in a wedding dress. Between them is a PRIEST at an altar.

The shots are like memories, close up and hazy.

PRIEST
Do you Casey Janine Fitzpatrick take MacGruber to be your lawfully wedded husband?

WHITE FLASH - black SUV. Window rolls down to reveal Cunth.

CASEY
I do.

Cunth raises a glass of champagne. MacGruber is suspicious. The shots become more distorted.

PRIEST
And do you, MacGruber, take Casey Janine Fitzpatrick to be your lawfully wedded wife?

WHITE FLASH - MacGruber looks down just as the Priest turns the page in his Bible revealing a small area cut out with a C- 4 EXPLOSIVE and a flashing red light!

MacGruber lunging at Casey. Casey is terrified. Cunth presses a detonator.

A flash of an explosion (stock). Casey’s face disappears as fire engulfs the screen. A burning bouquet lands on the lawn in slo-mo.

MacGruber falls to the ground, a piece of Casey’s WEDDING VEIL in his hand.

SMASH BACK TO:
12

INT. MONASTERY -- MACGRUBER’S ROOM -- NIGHT

MacGruber bolts up in his bed, drenched in sweat.

MacGruber grabs a kerosene lamp and throws it at Cunth’s picture.

Push in on Cunth’s photo as flames start to lick the wall.

A flash of lightning and thunder brings us to a...

13

EXT. CEMETERY -- NIGHT

Super: Pueblo, Colorado, USA

MacGruber approaches a headstone. There’s a clap of thunder.

Reveal the headstone -- Casey Janine Fitzpatrick -- Born April 24, 1965, Died July 4, 1999

Pan to a gravestone next to it: MacGruber -- Born June 17, 1963, Died July 4, 1999

MacGruber drops a duffel bag to the ground, pulls out a shovel and with much gusto, strikes into the earth.

14

EXT. CEMETERY -- LATER THAT NIGHT

Huge mounds of dirt by the grave. MacGruber is barely visible inside as he continues to shovel. He hits coffin.

Inside the hole, MacGruber uses a cro-bar to pry open the coffin. His face has an intense look on it as he comes face to face with his former life.

Reveal the contents of the coffin: MacGruber’s LL Bean ADVENTURE WEAR.

Shot of his feet as his monk robe drops to the ground. We hear a clap of thunder. We hear raindrops start to fall.

CU shots of MacGruber putting on his shirt, vest, jeans, LL Bean boots.

MacGruber tears away a portion of the coffin felt to expose a secret compartment with a high tech digital lock. He punches in a code and presses his thumb to a fingerprint scanner. The compartment pops open and we reveal its contents: one SWISS ARMY KNIFE. He tucks it in his vest pocket.

It’s pouring rain now. From above the grave, we see two hands grip the side of the muddy grave as MacGruber pulls himself out.

Shot of the headstone as two feet step into frame. Pan up the body to see MacGruber in full costume -- his face incredibly intense.

Lightning strike. The camera pulls above MacGruber with a big WOOSH.

15

EXT. PENTAGON -- DAY

17

INT. PENTAGON -- MOMENTS LATER

MacGruber bursts through a new set of double doors.

Reveal Faith, Piper and other high level military officers in a high to mid-tech command center.

FAITH
MacGruber, thank God.
FAITH
On the record: no way. Off the record: yes.
PIPER
Very little, unfortunately. For the past ten years, we’ve been watching Cunth like a hawk, but he’s very good at keeping his hands clean. The guy doesn’t make mistakes. He’s too good.
FAITH
Everything Piper just said is correct.
FAITH
Lucky for us, Cunth still needs passcodes to make the damn thing operational.
PIPER
But they’ll be looking for those next.
FAITH
It is imperative that they do not get those passcodes.
FAITH
I’m not gonna lie to you. This is a very tall order. Word on the street is that Cunth’s put together a team of the most ruthless criminals this planet has to offer.

Faith motions to a cork board with various pictures on it.

FAITH
Hoss Bender, Zeke Pleshette, Constantine Bach, the Culebra twins. It’s a veritable dream team of killers.
FAITH
Regarding that. Lieutenant Piper here is one of the best and brightest on the force. He’ll be your eyes and ears on this thing.

MacGruber stares daggers at Piper.

MacGruber storms out.

18

INT. PENTAGON -- HALLWAY -- MOMENTS LATER

Piper runs after MacGruber, Faith follows.

PIPER
Look, MacGruber, I know I’m not what you expected --
PIPER
Look, if you just give me a shot--

MacGruber quickly whips around Piper’s back, jamming his arm against his back then smashes Piper’s face into a desk, knocking him to the floor.

PIPER
Aaaggh! My freaking nose!

MacGruber parks the Miata diagonally across two spaces so as to avoid dings, turns off the music, pulls the portable car stereo out and takes it with him as he goes to:

21

INT. GYM -- DAY

Hulking men pump iron. On the bench press is FRANK KORVER, 36, a big tank of a man.

As he struggles to get his last rep, HANDS come into frame, offering a spot.

FRANK
I got it Rico. I got it. Ahhhhh!

With one final push, Frank heaves up the weight.

Frank sits up and turns to see his old friend, MacGruber.

FRANK
MacGruber! Thought you were dead!

Frank jumps up and bear-hugs him.

FRANK
And you had one very angry insurgent trying to introduce you to the business end of a machete.
FRANK
You don’t look so bad yourself.
FRANK
You and your dick comments.
FRANK
You ripped any throats out lately?
FRANK
We had some good times, didn’t we?

MacGruber gives him a serious look.

FRANK
Uh oh. I know that look.
FRANK
Then I’m in.

They clasp hands.

CU: A list of names. Frank Korver is at the top of it. MacGruber puts a check by his name.

Tin cans get plucked off a fence, one by one.

Tanker rolls over to a sawed-off shotgun, cocks it and fires.

A mannequin head EXPLODES.

He cocks, dives on the ground, rolls and and fires again.

A jug of milk meets its maker.

A watermelon with a smiley face drawn on it gets sliced in half.

Tanker somersaults forward and slices a mannequin’s neck -- sand pours out.

He grabs a machine gun planted in the mannequin’s arms and shoots up an old rusty car with a bunch of dummies in it.

He rolls to the side, grabs a flamethrower and FLAMES a tree.

MacGruber whistles.

Tanker instinctively turns and flings a knife at MacGruber’s head -- MacGruber catches it between his hands.

A guy does some cool freestyle street tricks as a CAMERAMAN videotapes it. He skids over to a group of kids who eagerly wait for autographs. He pulls off his helmet to reveal TUT BEEMER, 39.

CU -- autograph pads held by kids’ hands. Over the top of them, comes a pair of hairy man hands holding a pair of underwear in one hand and a Sharpie in the other.

Tut looks up. Reveal MacGruber who breaks into a sly smile. Tut shakes his head and smiles.

CU: List -- He puts a check next to the name Tut Beemer. Pan down to the last name on the list: Vicki St. Elmo

27

EXT. VICKI’S HOUSE -- DAY

MacGruber walks up to the door, steels himself and knocks.

VICKI (O.S.)
Come in.
28

INT. VICKI’S HOUSE -- DAY

MacGruber steps into the house.

VICKI (O.S.)
Be right there.

MacGruber looks around. There are clocks of all different sizes and shapes on the walls.

VICKI ST. ELMO, 32, beautiful, enters. When she sees MacGruber, she drops the clock she’s holding.

VICKI
I thought you were dead.
VICKI
Well, good for you.
VICKI
Sorry, MacGruber. I’m out of the game.
VICKI
MacGruber, I can’t.
VICKI
Not anymore. I’ve lost the edge.

On the wall, we see the clock strike one. At precisely the same time, every clock in the house dings in unison.

VICKI
MacGruber! The answer is no.

Vicki is lost in thought.

DISSOLVE TO:

DISSOLVE TO:
30

INT. VICKI’S HOUSE -- DAY

VICKI
I lost my best friend that day.
VICKI
Revenge?

Vicki looks down. This hits her hard.

VICKI
Sorry MacGruber, I can’t help you out.

MacGruber hands her a crumpled up piece of paper. As she reaches for it, their hands touch -- hint of sexual tension.

MacGruber leaves. When he’s out the door, she opens up the piece of paper. Scribbled in very poor handwriting: “I’m at the Pentogon.”

31

EXT. TARMAC -- DAY

MacGruber’s team is strapped into the van.

ALL
You got it, Grubes!/Locked and loaded!/Fuck yeah!/Let’s do this!

A grey sedan pull up. Piper and Faith get out.

MacGruber closes the door and walks over to Piper and Faith. Piper’s nose is bandaged. Faith talks on a cell phone.

FAITH
Yes, Mr. President, I understand.
(to MacGruber)
One second, Grubes.

MacGruber nods: take your time.

PIPER
Up yours.
PIPER
No, you didn’t.
PIPER
Well, I think you’re looking in the mirror.
PIPER
Anytime, anyplace.
PIPER
Well, I hate you.

MacGruber pushes Piper. Piper pushes back. Faith hangs up.

FAITH
Guys, cool it! So MacGruber, we hear you’ve recruited quite a team.
FAITH
Look, I’ll cut to the chase. Are you sure you won’t change your mind about letting Piper here join the team? He could be quite an asset.

The van EXPLODES into a million pieces. Debris rains everywhere. Sporadic pops of hollow-point bullets go off like popcorn.

MacGruber runs over to the van and starts searching through the sea of twisted metal and body parts.

Overhead shot of MacGruber crying on his knees amid the rubble.

32

INT. PENTAGON -- FAITH’S OFFICE -- DAY

MacGruber, wearing an all black suit and black sunglasses, stares out the window. Faith sits at his desk. A clock ticks in the background.

FAITH
They were nice funerals.
FAITH
They were very...touching. I might have cut down on the F-words a little.
FAITH
I know. It’s just that their kids were there.
FAITH
Because of your use of heavy language.
FAITH
But you weren’t.
FAITH
MacGruber, about that. Look, I’m taking you off the case.
FAITH
I did. Verbatim.
FAITH
But the game has changed!
FAITH
I don’t like this any better than you, but you’ve been through a very traumatic experience. You’re too close. And without a team behind you, I just can’t chance it. I’m sorry, Grubes.

Faith exits. MacGruber looks out the window, bummed. Piper enters.

PIPER
Sir, I--
(noticing MacGruber)
Oh. It’s you. Look MacGruber, I’m sorry for your loss.
PIPER
Well, under the circumstances--

Piper turns to exit.

PIPER
What do you want, MacGruber?
PIPER
What?
PIPER
I can’t do that.

MacGruber breathes for a while until he gains composure.

PIPER
Jesus Christ, MacGruber.

Piper shuts the door then turns back to see MacGruber with his pants off, braced for a fucking against the desk.

PIPER
Jesus Christ, put your pants back on. What the fuck are you doing?

MacGruber crumples to the ground, crying -- it’s a pitiful sight. Piper actually feels kind of sorry for him.

PIPER
Come on, MacGruber. It’s not so bad.
PIPER
Cunth killed your wife?

MacGruber nods.

PIPER
I’m sorry. I didn’t know.

Piper is deep in thought. Faith enters.

FAITH
MacGruber, we have a chopper ready to take you back to Ecuador.

MacGruber nods to Piper. Piper can see the pain in MacGruber’s eyes. MacGruber turns for the door.

PIPER
I’m in.
FAITH
Lieutenant--
PIPER
I’m in, I’m on the team.

MacGruber turns back. He can’t believe what he’s hearing.

FAITH
Sorry Lieutenant, two people don’t make a team.
VICKI (O.S.)
But three do.

Reveal Vicki in the doorway with a rolling suitcase.

VICKI
I heard about what happened. Thought you could use some help.

MacGruber smiles at her.

FAITH
Looks like you do, MacGruber. Looks like you do.

We push in on MacGruber dramatically.

MacGruber tries to walk off the adrenaline.

PIPER
MacGruber, what the hell was that?
VICKI

Is everything on schedule?
CONSTANTINE
Yes.
CUNTH
Then what’s the problem?
CONSTANTINE
I think you better take a look at this.

Constantine hands Cunth a surveillance photo of MacGruber flipping off the camera with both hands.

CUNTH
Well well well, MacGruber. When was this taken?
CONSTANTINE
Late last night. Sir, he was at the club.

MacGruber, your toilet is disgusting.

MacGruber turns to reveal that it’s Vicki in MacGruber clothes and wig. MacGruber steps out from behind a cabinet.

VICKI
Can we talk about this please?

MacGruber starts sprucing her up.

VICKI
But why can’t you be the cheese?
VICKI
(not okay)
Okay.
VICKI
It’s just, usually the rat eats a little bit of the cheese before the trap is sprung.
PIPER
I gotta say, I have serious concerns about this operation.
PIPER
No, I’m just concerned about Vicki’s safety.
VICKI

Seven blocks?
VICKI
No but um, I feel like when I talk too much, people are staring at me because it looks like I’m talking to myself and that’s maybe attracting attention.

A CASHIER is staring at Vicki.

VICKI (CONT’D)
Also, I’m at the counter so I should order.
VICKI
Eeew.
(to cashier)
I’d like a small latte.
VICKI
Can I change that to a large Tazo tea?
CASHIER
Sure. Anything else?

Okay, that’ll be 3.45.

I’m not sure it would be.

Reveal Hoss -- it is a gruesome sight.

53

EXT. COFFEE SHOP - DAY

MacGruber and Piper pull up in the bullet-riddled van and get out. Vicki walks outside. She gives MacGruber a huge hug.

VICKI
Oh MacGruber, don’t do that to me again.
VICKI
I’m just really glad you’re okay.

They look at each other for a beat. We sense that there could be something there. Piper clears his throat.

VICKI
Oh, sorry.

Vicki gives Piper a cordial hug.

VICKI
What happened?

Piper and Vicki share a glance.

VICKI
You guys get any intel on the X5?

MacGruber holds up car keys. They hear an approaching siren.

PIPER
We better get this van off the street.
54

EXT. SUBURBAN STREET - DAY

As many sirens wail in the background, MacGruber, Piper and Vicki walk along the sidewalk. MacGruber presses the alarm button until he finally hears a chirp from a black Cadillac.

55

EXT. CADILLAC - DAY

Vicki and Piper open a duffle bag in the trunk, revealing hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Piper walks over holding a GPS system.

PIPER
He’s got like every strip club in the city programmed in here.

Vicki holds up a leather bound organizer.

VICKI
That’s weird, he’s got an appointment this afternoon and all it says is STD. STD. Does that mean anything to you?
PIPER
Unless I’m mistaken, STD is an old railroad code.
PIPER
The old Stansfield rail yard is located about ten miles from here. Let me pop that into this GPS.
(enters code)
Well, what do you know. It’s already routed.
PIPER
But if Hoss doesn’t show up, they’ll abort the drop.
56

INT. CADILLAC -- DAY

Vicki drives dressed up like Hoss Bender -- clothes and wig.

VICKI
Why do I have to be Hoss?

MacGruber sits shotgun.

Piper sits in the back seat dressed up as MacGruber in his clothes and wig.

PIPER
And why do I have to be you?
PIPER
(smiles fakely)
Yes sir.

MacGruber points at him, impressed.

57

EXT. RAIL YARDS -- DAY

From behind industrial equipment, MacGruber, Vicki, and Piper scope out a warehouse. Two guards are on either side of the entrance, a third on the roof -- all have sub-machine guns.

PIPER
Looks like there are three guards here and two at the south entrance.
PIPER
Then it’s three on two, we’ll have the advantage.
VICKI
(sarcastic)
Thanks, MacGruber.

MacGruber shoots a look at Piper which shows that he doesn’t truly mean it.

PIPER
So we’re just gonna wing it?

Vicki has a look of terror on her face.

PIPER
Again, that’s not a--

Piper smiles through gritted teeth.

PIPER
Yes sir.

Piper loads clips into two handguns and passes one to MacGruber.

PIPER
What?
PIPER
So it’s true what they say about you. You don’t use guns.
PIPER
But these men are trained soldiers.

MacGruber points to his brain, then looks inside a dumpster.

MacGruber grabs a bunch of things and places them in front of him. The items: a carrot, bug spray, copper wire, some brads, a tar shingle, a pine cone and a dirty old salad bowl.

PIPER
What are you doing?

MacGruber peels the carrot with his Swiss Army Knife.

58

EXT. RAIL YARD WAREHOUSE -- DAY

Three guards stand watch. Suddenly, an odd noise is heard echoing off the buildings.

GUARD
What the hell is that?

The guards look around, guns at the ready. The noises get louder.

GUARD POV - looking left and right around the deserted rail yard, finally the camera pans up to find MacGruber on the roof of a small building, dancing around completely naked (except for his boots) with a carrot in his ass.

GUARD
What the fuck?

Piper jumps up from behind a dumpster. He sees MacGruber and is temporarily stunned.

Piper finally snaps to it and shoots the three men with a silencer and then runs over to MacGruber.

PIPER
I gotta admit, it worked.
PIPER
They’re dead because I shot them.

As MacGruber gets dressed:

PIPER
Look, you’re wasting your time. I’m never ever gonna do that.

MacGruber and Piper sneak into the warehouse.

59

INT. RAIL YARD WAREHOUSE -- DAY

As Zeke and Constantine wait for Hoss, a BODYGUARD stands by a Hummer protecting a MAN IN A SUIT who holds a BRIEFCASE.

From a catwalk, MacGruber and Piper look on.

PIPER
That’s Constantine Bach and Zeke Pleshette.
60

EXT. RAIL YARD WAREHOUSE -- DAY

Vicki waits in the Cadillac, still dressed as Hoss.

VICKI
Do I really have to do this?
61

INT. RAIL YARD WAREHOUSE -- DAY

MacGruber talks into wrist mic.

62

EXT. RAIL YARD WAREHOUSE -- DAY

Vicki reluctantly starts the car and drives slowly toward the warehouse.

63

INT. RAIL YARD WAREHOUSE -- DAY

MacGruber talks into the wrist mic.

64

EXT. RAIL YARD WAREHOUSE -- DAY

Vicki drives, freaked out as MacGruber continues talking.

65

INT. RAIL YARD WAREHOUSE -- DAY

MacGruber leans over to Piper.

66

EXT. RAIL YARD WAREHOUSE -- DAY

Vicki’s very close to the entrance now. MacGruber continues.

The moment the car enters:

ZEKE
That’s not Hoss!

The men immediately spray the car with bullets. Vicki ducks down, puts the car in reverse, slams her foot on the accelerator, and hauls ass out of the warehouse.

SFX: CRASH!

From the catwalk, Piper opens fire on the men. He shoots and kills the bodyguard as MacGruber starts to mix some sort of concoction together in the salad bowl.

PIPER
What are you doing?

Constantine opens fire on the catwalk. Piper manages to kill the man with the briefcase. Zeke grabs the case and runs.

PIPER
No, I’m using it right now! Use your finger!

Piper aims at ZEKE and pulls the trigger: CLICK! No bullets.

PIPER
Shit!

From an ANKLE HOLSTER Piper draws a .38 SNUB NOSE revolver, aims at Zeke in the distance, takes a deep breath and...

BLAM! Shoots Zeke in the head, killing him.

Constantine grabs the case and slips out of the warehouse.

Piper chases after him. MacGruber follows, stirring the ingredients in the bowl with his finger.

67

EXT. RAIL YARD WAREHOUSE -- DAY

Piper and MacGruber run to the back entrance just in time to see Constantine jump into a car and speed away. Piper fires at him but he’s too far away.

MacGruber takes a gooey pine cone out of the bowl, takes a match out of his vest pocket, lights the pine cone and then throws it in the direction of the car. But the pine cone only goes about twenty feet and then stops. After a beat:

SFX: POP!

PIPER
Oh God, Vicki!

The guys sprint away.

68

EXT. RAIL YARD WAREHOUSE -- DAY

They race to the crashed Cadillac. They fling open the door to find Vicki, crouched inside, scared shitless.

VICKI
Yeah. Just a little shaken up.
PIPER
Shouldn’t we check the dead guys for clues?
69

INT. RAIL YARD WAREHOUSE -- DAY

All of the dead men are laid out side by side.

PIPER
This cell phone is all we got.
70

EXT. HIGHWAY -- DAY

The surveillance van drives by.

71

INT. SURVEILLANCE VAN -- NIGHT

MacGruber drives. Vicki sits shotgun. Piper’s in the back. MacGruber lifts up a carrot and takes a bite.

VICKI
Gross.

In the rearview mirror, MacGruber shoots a look at Piper which shows that he doesn’t truly mean it.

SFX: cell phone ring

VICKI
Set to jet, MacGruber.

MacGruber grabs the phone.

PIPER
What are you gonna say?
VICKI
No.
PIPER
Wow.
VICKI
Yes. But you have to keep them on for at least twenty seconds.
VICKI
Well, next time, just think about how badly you want it and then maybe you won’t lose your temper.
PIPER
I doubt it.

MacGruber’s phone rings.

72

INT. PENTAGON -- SAME TIME

Faith at his desk. (Intercut with MacGruber)

FAITH
MacGruber, it’s Faith.
FAITH
What’s the mission status?
FAITH
So you’ve got some leads?
FAITH
Not much on our end. We know Cunth is having a fundraiser in his home.
FAITH
No, it’s tonight.
FAITH
No. It’s actually a formal affair.
FAITH
Got any other leads?
FAITH
Great, I’m gonna conference in the President.
VICKI
So Cunth is having a party?

Camera moves in dramatically on MacGruber’s intense face.

VICKI
Us?
73

EXT. CUNTH’S MANSION -- NIGHT

Super: Cunth Mansion, Salt Lake City, Utah, USA

Soft rock blares as the Miata door opens. White cowboy boots hit the pavement. Pan up a white tux with country piping to see MacGruber.

MacGruber gives his keys to a valet, pulls out his stereo and walks to the front door where he’s greeted by a MAN IN A TUX.

MAN IN A TUX
Sir, do you have your invitation?

MacGruber searches his pockets, but instead of a ticket, presents to the man his hand, middle finger sticking out.

He then walks on by and into the party.

74

INT. CUNTH’S MANSION -- NIGHT

MacGruber walks by a COAT CHECK GIRL.

COAT CHECK GIRL
Can I take your coat? Your car stereo?
75

INT. SURVEILLANCE VAN -- SAME TIME

Piper monitors from the van.

PIPER
MacGruber, keep in mind, you wanna keep a low profile here.
76

INT. CUNTH’S MANSION -- NIGHT

PIPER (O.S.)
Yeah, I got it.
PIPER (O.S.)
She arrived ten minutes ago. She’s in the banquet hall.

MacGruber sees a closed door and starts for it.

77

INT. CUNTH’S MANSION -- LIVING ROOM -- NIGHT

A quartet plays classical music as MacGruber scans the room, searching for Vicki. The floor is crowded with people in tuxedos and elegant dresses. The crowd parts.

Passionate music swells as we pan up Vicki to see some shiny sensible shoes and a moderately-priced, flowy white pantsuit and faux pearls.

MacGruber is stunned by her beauty.

VICKI
Where have you been?
VICKI
An upper decker?
VICKI
Uh... thank you.
PIPER (O.S.)
He appears to be in the east wing.

He starts away. Vicki grabs his hand and pulls him back.

VICKI
Don’t do anything stupid.

MacGruber smiles at her.

78

INT. CUNTH’S MANSION -- DRAWING ROOM -- NIGHT

Cunth is engaged in a high stakes game of poker -- a BEAUTIFUL YOUNG WOMAN stands behind him. There is only one other player left in the game, JURGEN KRAUSS, 65.

CUNTH
I’ll see your twenty thousand and raise you forty thousand.

Cunth looks up from his cards to see his old nemesis.

CUNTH
MacGruber. I’ve been expecting you.
DEALER
Bet’s to you, Mr. Krauss.

Krauss looks at MacGruber and then to his cards and pushes a huge stack of chips into the center.

MR. KRAUSS
I’m all in.
DEALER
Mr. Krauss is all in for two hundred fifty thousand dollars.
CUNTH
Call.

They flip over their cards.

CUNTH
Straight flush.
MR. KRAUSS
Fuck!

Mr. Krauss walks off, pissed.

CUNTH
Thank you, MacGruber. You just made me a teeny tiny bit wealthier than I already am.
CUNTH
This is my daughter.
CUNTH
Honey, could you give us a few moments?

Cunth’s daughter rolls her eyes and walks away.

CUNTH
I don’t know what you’re talking about.
CUNTH
What would I want with a nuclear warhead?
CUNTH
Sorry, you’re right. Most warheads are filled with air.
CUNTH
Really? And how were they?
CUNTH
Hm, that’s too bad.
CUNTH
Yes, they were -- past tense. Very sad story actually.
CUNTH
I had assembled the greatest team of bad guys this world has ever seen and I had them all in this room and I had forgotten that I had some C4 in there and wouldn’t you know it, the whole place exploded and I lost them all.
CUNTH
Oh no, wait, that didn’t happen to me because I’m not a fucking retard who blows up his own dudes.
79

INT. SURVEILLANCE VAN -- NIGHT

Piper smiles. That was nice of MacGruber to say.

80

INT. CUNTH’S MANSION -- DRAWING ROOM -- NIGHT

CUNTH
You have a very healthy imagination, MacGruber. I certainly do not have a warhead, nuclear or otherwise.

Cunth rises to leave.

CUNTH
That’s enough here. Gentlemen, please show Mr. MacGruber the door.

Three LARGE HENCHMEN surround MacGruber.

81

EXT. CUNTH’S MANSION -- NIGHT

MacGruber gets thrown out the window.

Moments later, his car stereo gets thrown out too.

82

INT. CUNTH’S MANSION -- LATER

Cunth, still dressed in party attire, bursts through a set of double doors followed by a henchman.

CUNTH
Dammit! How the hell did he get in here?! Want to explain that to me?
HENCHMAN
He walked in the front door, sir.
CUNTH
Well, La Di Da! He walked in the front door!

Cunth notices the henchman’s finger is bleeding.

CUNTH
What happened to your finger?
HENCHMAN
He tried to bite my hand off.

A drop of blood falls to the floor. Cunth looks at it and then at the henchman.

HENCHMAN
Sorry sir.

The henchman puts his glass of water on the table and then goes to clean up the blood.

CUNTH
Coaster.
HENCHMAN
Oh, sorry, yes sir.

The henchman places a coaster under the glass, then bends down to clean up the blood. There is a knock at the door. Cunth takes a swig of scotch.

CUNTH (CONT’D)
(sweetly)
Come the fuck in!

Constantine and the Culebra twins enter.

CUNTH
Oh great, it’s Team Dickhead. God damn it, shoes!

EDWIN/HECTOR/CONSTANTINE Sorry./Sorry sir./Sorry.

The three of them remove their shoes and carry them.

CONSTANTINE
You wanted to see us, sir?
CUNTH
I will not have ten years of work and planning go up in flames because of that asshole. Let me be very clear, I want MacGruber dead.
(MORE)
CUNTH (cont'd)
You do remember how to do that, right? It’s very easy, you just take out your gun, aim it and fire.

Cunth takes out his gun and shoots the henchman in the head. His brains splatter all over the wall.

CUNTH
That isn’t so hard, is it? Now go.

Constantine and the twins exit with purpose.

CUNTH
Somebody get this guy’s brains off my fucking wall.
83

INT. PENTAGON -- DAY

Colonel Faith rips into MacGruber.

FAITH
How in the world did you think it would be a good idea to go there?
FAITH
Well, he knows all right.
FAITH
Do you? Cuz I think it’s the other way around.
FAITH
In case you’ve forgotten, I am your superior officer and you will address me as such.
FAITH
Sorry is not going to keep us safe from this goddamn warhead!
(MORE)
FAITH (cont'd)
Look MacGruber, you’re a true American hero and I thank you for that. But I’m going to have to say something to you that I never thought I’d say. Mac, you’ve turned into a liability. You’re thinking with your heart and not with your head. And I have no choice but to take you off the mission. And this time it’s for real.
FAITH
No! From here on out, the three of you are to stay away from Cunth and that is an order.
FAITH
Because you couldn’t stop him!
FAITH
I’m sorry, Mac.

MacGruber lets this sink in for a beat.

MacGruber walks to the door and stops. After a beat, he turns back.

FAITH
I’m sorry.

MacGruber walks out of the room.

84

INT. PENTAGON HALLWAY -- DAY

MacGruber walks up to Piper and Vicki.

PIPER
How did it go?
VICKI
Really? I thought he was gonna be super upset with us.
PIPER
MacGruber.
PIPER
MacGruber.
PIPER
MacGruber!
PIPER
Look me in the eyes.

MacGruber reluctantly looks Piper in the eyes.

PIPER
How did it go?
PIPER
MacGruber?
85

EXT. MACGRUBER’S TRAILER -- NIGHT

MacGruber, Vicki and Piper sit outside in crappy folding chairs, drinking beers.

VICKI
No it isn’t.
PIPER
If it’s any consolation, I thought you made the right call. And being with you over the last few days, I learned a lot. A lot of it was what not to do, but that’s an important part of the learning process.

MacGruber smiles at the nice sentiment.

VICKI
I need to use the powder room.
VICKI
Number not-your-business.
VICKI
(playful)
Shut up!

Vicki goes inside the trailer.

PIPER
I wish I had what you two had.
PIPER
Come on! You can see it from a mile away.
PIPER
No, seriously. When you two get together, it’s like the friggin’ 4th of July.
PIPER
Never ever say never ever.

MacGruber smiles, remembering when he said that to Piper.

PIPER
That must have been really hard. I’m sorry, never mind.
PIPER
No, you don’t.

Piper nods politely.

PIPER
Water under the bridge.

Piper puts out his hand. They shake. Piper goes for a beer.

PIPER
You want another beer, MacGruber?

MacGruber’s ears perk up.

SFX: dog barking, then silence.

BADDAK-AK-AK-AK!! Semi-autos blaze, whipping us into...

SLO-MO:

MacGruber dives through the air at Piper.

PIPER
MacGruber!!

MacGruber jumps BEHIND Piper and uses him as a human shield. Bullets tear into Piper’s chest ripping his shirt apart.

REAL TIME:

Using Piper as a shield, MacGruber makes his way to the Miata with Vicki behind him. Piper absorbs all kinds of gunfire.

They finally make it into the car and peel out.

86

INT. MIATA -- NIGHT

MacGruber drives, Vicki sits shotgun, Piper lying across her.

VICKI
Oh my God, is he dead?

Suddenly, Piper gasps awake.

PIPER
Uuuuuuhh!

MacGruber nearly drives off the road.

PIPER
Oh my God, I thought we were goners. How did you know I was wearing a bullet proof vest?
PIPER
Wait, you didn’t know?
PIPER
Pull over. Let me out.
PIPER
Because you just used me as a human shield!
PIPER
Yes, you did!
VICKI
Yeah, you kinda did.
PIPER
No, I’m not. Pull over.

MacGruber pulls over, let’s Piper out and peels back onto the road. Piper kicks the Miata as it races off. MacGruber slams on the brakes and throws it in reverse.

Piper kicks it again, repeatedly. MacGruber drives off.

87

EXT. VICKI’S HOUSE -- NIGHT

The Miata pulls up to Vicki’s house.

VICKI
Are you okay?
VICKI
Oh God, what happened to your leg?

MacGruber’s leg is covered in blood.

VICKI
MacGruber, you’ve been shot!
VICKI
Don’t say that! Come inside. Let me get that bullet out of you.

MacGruber sadly pulls his battered car stereo out, gets out of the car and follows Vicki into her house.

88

INT. VICKI’S HOUSE -- NIGHT

MacGruber sits on a table, his pants around his ankles.

VICKI
This might sting a little.

She pours vodka on his wound. MacGruber doesn’t even flinch.

VICKI
Okay, I’m gonna remove the bullet. You wanna bite down on this?

She hands him a leather belt. He tosses it aside.

Vicki reaches into MacGruber’s open leg wound with a pair of bottle-nose pliers and searches for the bullet.

VICKI
Everybody makes mistakes.
VICKI
He didn’t die.
VICKI
You’re being too hard on yourself.
VICKI
Because I believe in what you’re doing.
VICKI
Yes! You’re an amazing man. You’re gorgeous, amazing body, good sense of style, smart, brave. Casey was a very lucky woman to have a man like you.
VICKI
There’s only one man I’ve ever loved and he’s taken.
VICKI
He was. But she’s still in his heart, God rest her soul.

MacGruber suddenly realizes Vicki’s talking about him.

VICKI
Maybe...
(back to reality)
Got it.

Vicki drops the bloody bullet onto a tray, then notices something and then averts her eyes.

VICKI
MacGruber?
VICKI
MacGruber...
(embarrassed, but touched)
...thank you.
(breaking tension)
Okay, I better sew you up.

She grabs needle and thread.

MacGruber grabs her hand.

MacGruber looks her right in the eyes.

MacGruber caresses her cheek and starts in for a kiss -- right before he gets to her lips.

VICKI
(nervous)
I’m a virgin.

They kiss hard. They remove each other’s clothing. MacGruber picks Vicki up and carries her to her bed.

DISSOLVE TO:

A passionate love-making montage: body parts writhing in unison, hair pulling, spanking, the works. (NOTE: Body doubles will be used. For Vicki, one with huge boobs. For MacGruber, one with a super cut, but very hairy ass)

89

EXT. VICKI’S HOUSE -- NIGHT

MacGruber wails on the saxophone on the hood of the Miata.

90

INT. VICKI’S HOUSE -- NIGHT

Vicki and MacGruber are getting to the end.

VICKI
I’m gonna fill you up!
VICKI
I said, I’m gonna fill you up.
VICKI
Sorry.

They finally reach orgasm and collapse to the bed. Vicki is smiling. MacGruber has a pained look on his face.

VICKI
You’re amazing.
VICKI
What’s wrong?

MacGruber grabs his clothes and car stereo and runs out.

VICKI
Shit!
91

EXT. CEMETERY -- NIGHT

Casey’s grave. MacGruber enters frame (with car stereo) and kneels at it.

CASEY (O.S.)
It’s okay, MacGruber.

MacGruber looks behind him to see Casey’s ghost.

CASEY
It’s okay. Be with Vicki.
CASEY
You have to move on with your life.

Casey puts her finger up to MacGruber’s lips, silencing him.

CASEY
Then don’t say anything.

Casey kisses MacGruber hard. MacGruber kisses back. They start removing their clothes. A love montage ensues. It is eerily similar to the one we just saw with Vicki, including MacGruber playing sexy saxophone on top of a crypt.

Angle on: CEMETERY GROUNDSKEEPER hauling trash bags. His eyes widen.

Groundskeeper’s POV: A naked MacGruber having hardcore sex with nothing but thin air.

Casey and MacGruber are reaching their climax.

CASEY
I am too, MacGruber!

CASEY/MACGRUBER Mmrg mmrg mmrg mmrg mmrg mmrg MMRG MMRG MMRG MMRG MMRG MMRG AAAAAAAH!

CASEY
I did too. Now go, MacGruber. Go tell Vicki how you feel about her.

MacGruber starts away.

MacGruber turns back, but Casey is gone. He smiles.

MacGruber walks away.

92

EXT. CEMETERY ROAD -- MORNING

MacGruber approaches his car. His cell phone rings.

93

INT. PENTAGON -- MORNING

Colonel Faith is on the phone. A MILITARY OFFICER brings him a report. (Intercut between the two of them)

FAITH
MacGruber, just wanted to apologize for how things went down the other day. You put your heart and soul into the mission and I wanted you to hear the good news.
FAITH
We just got intel from very reliable sources that the North Koreans are purchasing the X5 and the passcodes tonight. We’re mobilizing units right now.
FAITH
MacGruber, you ready for this? We were wrong about Cunth. He’s not involved. Turns out the X5 is in the possession of a Jurgen Krauss.
FAITH
Don’t let your history with Cunth cloud your vision, Mac. He’s not involved. Look, the President’s thrilled. If all goes smoothly, he might mention it during the State of the Union Address tonight.
FAITH
MacGruber--
FAITH
So you want me to ignore very credible intelligence and evacuate Washington DC because you have a hunch?
FAITH
(humoring)
Okay, I’ll get right on it. Look Grubes, if it’s any comfort, we couldn’t have done it without you. Well, actually I guess we could have since none of the information came from your leads. Mac, I’m joking. Really, thank you. The American people owe you a huge debt of gratitude.
FAITH
MacGruber, take some time off. Go to the beach. Kick your heals up and drink a few Molsons.

MacGruber hangs up, jumps in the Miata, and peels out.

94

EXT. VICKI’S HOUSE -- MORNING

MacGruber jumps out of the car and runs up to her house.

95

INT. VICKI’S HOUSE -- MORNING

MacGruber runs into her house.

MacGruber finds the place has been ransacked.

In the rubble, MacGruber sees a broken synthesizer, a microphone and recording equipment. He reaches down and picks up a CD entitled “Songs for My Gruber by Vicki St Elmo”.

SFX: cell phone ring

MacGruber looks down to see that the call is coming from Vicki. He immediately starts tearing the room apart. Finally he finds what he’s looking for: Vicki’s CALL TRACER. He plugs it in, takes a deep breath and answers.

CUNTH (O.S.)
I have her, MacGruber. You tell anyone about this, she dies.
CUNTH (O.S.)
Say please.
CUNTH (O.S.)
Good boy.
VICKI (O.S.)
Get this bastard, MacGrub--

Cunth hangs up. MacGruber slams the phone down with rage. He looks down at the call tracer which is blinking the words ”Processing”. MacGruber closes his eyes and prays.

The words “LOCATION CONFIRMED” appear on the tracer. A map lights up on the screen.

96

INT. MACGRUBER’S TRAILER -- DAY

MacGruber slides open a false wall and punches a code into a digital lock. MacGruber puts his mullet up to a LASER MULLET SCANNER.

FEMALE COMPUTER VOICE
Access granted.

The dusty lock hisses open and MacGruber steps in.

97

INT. DESERT BUNKER - CONTINUOUS

MacGruber descends a ladder into the nearly pitch black bunker. Fluorescent bulbs flicker to life.

REVEAL: a high tech weapons depot. Only it’s not guns or grenades, but all manner of KNICK-KNACKS, DOO-DADS, and TRASH. There are highly-organized sections for GUM WRAPPERS, PAPER CLIPS, TWINE, etc.

Music: bad-ass rock song

CU: taping a bottle cap to his chest, then lowering shirt.

CU: tucking a gum wrapper into his sock

CU: slipping a paperclip into his shoe

CU: putting a cotton ball in his ear

CU: putting some tape on his neck and then letting the back of his mullet loose, hiding the tape

CU: hand changing the song on the stereo.

Music: soft rock

CU: putting a penny in between his toes

CU: tucking a bunch of dental floss in his mouth like dip

CU: holding up a carrot

CU: putting the carrot down the butt of his pants

MacGruber looks in the mirror, and in the blink of an eye, simultaneously grabs the bottle cap from his shirt and the paperclip from his shoe. He holds them up and nods. He’s ready.

98

INT. MIATA -- DAY

Macgruber’s hand pops Vicki’s CD in the stereo.

99

EXT. OCEANSIDE/FOREST/MOUNTAINS/DESERT -- GREENSCREEN

MacGruber drives along an oceanside, through a forest, over mountains, through desert. With each change in scenery, we hear a different terrible home-made song with Vicki singing.

100

EXT. DIRT ROAD -- NIGHT

MacGruber pulls off the road and comes to Piper who is leaning against the van, waiting for him.

PIPER
Let’s get something straight. I’m not doing this for you. I’m doing it for all the innocent people out there whose lives are at stake.

Piper shakes his head. MacGruber stuffs his car stereo into a backpack and they head into the brush.

101

INT. PENTAGON -- NIGHT

Colonel Faith is at his desk. A MILITARY OFFICER bursts in.

MILITARY OFFICER
Colonel, we just got news from the drop site. The X5 wasn’t there. It was all just a decoy.

Camera pushes in on Faith.

FAITH
MacGruber was right.
102

EXT. CUNTH’S COMPOUND - NIGHT

Binoc POV: the grounds are crawling with armed guards.

PIPER
Eleven... twelve that I can see, but there will be more inside.
PIPER
That’s a pretty gross way to look at it.
PIPER
Shhhh!

A GUARD approaches, making his rounds. He smokes a cigarette.

PIPER (CONT’D)
(whispered)
Just let him pass. We don’t want to attract attention -- MacGruber?

Piper looks around, MacGruber is gone. All of a sudden MacGruber appears behind the guard and TEARS OUT HIS THROAT. The guard falls to the ground, dead.

PIPER (CONT’D)
Jesus Christ!
PIPER
Yeah, it was really disgusting.
PIPER
He would have ripped your throat out with his bare--

MacGruber pushes Piper to the ground as a SPOTLIGHT hits their position. A tense beat. The spotlight moves on.

MacGruber spots a large SEWER PIPE leading into the compound.

INT. CUNTH’S COMPOUND - HOLDING CELL - NIGHT

Vicki, bound to a metal chair and gagged with a bandana, struggles to free herself. The big metal door swings open revealing Cunth followed closely by the Culebra Twins.

CUNTH
Hello, my darling.
VICKI
Mmmfhhhh, mmmpphh!
CUNTH
Sorry, I didn’t quite get that.

Cunth unties the bandana.

VICKI
Stick it wear the sun don’t shine, Dieter!

Cunth gets in Vicki’s face, menacing.

CUNTH
And where would that be, exactly?
VICKI
Um... the butt? Up your butthole?
CUNTH
So sad. Such a pretty face for such a dirty, dirty mouth.

Cunth brushes a loose hair out of Vicki’s face tenderly, then puts her gag in again. As he does, he whispers into her ear.

CUNTH
I know MacGruber’s coming for you. I want to watch him watch me kill you in front of him and then I want to watch me kill him in front of a mirror. Enjoy your stay and please let me know if there’s any way for me to make it less enjoyable.

Cunth laughs as he closes the door. Vicki’s eyes dart around the room for a way out.

104

INT. CUNTH’S COMPOUND -- BASEMENT -- NIGHT

MacGruber and Piper step out of the other end of the pipe.

PIPER
You what?
PIPER
Yeah, sounds really special.

They approach a metal LADDER leading up.

PIPER
Okay, this looks like the main duct. We should be right under the guard tower. Ready?
PIPER
Yeah.
PIPER
Nothing.
PIPER
It’s just, I’ve noticed you say that line all the time.
PIPER
Is it?
PIPER
You know, you don’t need to say anything. You can just do what you’re gonna do without prefacing it with a quote.

Piper shakes his head and they start to climb up.

105

INT. CUNTH’S COMPOUND -- INNER OBSERVATION DECK -- NIGHT

A GUARD sits at a control panel overlooking the main room.

GUARD
Miller, do you copy? Miller? Are you there? Damn it, Miller.

Suddenly, a box of THROAT LOZENGES is thrown in front of him. He picks it up, confused.

GUARD
Throat lozenges?

The guard whips around to come face to face with MacGruber who rips out his throat, killing him.

PIPER
The turkey?
PIPER
That’s sick.

MacGruber unknowingly steps on a FOOT PEDAL on the floor.

CU -- a red light on the control panel is illuminated

106

EXT. CUNTH’S COMPOUND -- NIGHT

MacGruber’s words blare over a LOUDSPEAKER.

107

INT. COMPOUND DORMITORIES -- NIGHT

A bunch of dudes start getting out of their beds and gathering around the LOUDSPEAKERS.

108

INT. CUNTH’S COMPOUND -- X-5 LAUNCH SITE -- NIGHT

Cunth oversees the readying of the X5 which sits in the middle of the room. Over the LOUDSPEAKER, he hears:

109

INT. CUNTH’S COMPOUND -- HOLDING CELL -- NIGHT

Vicki hears through a LOUDSPEAKER.

She shakes her head.

110

INT. CUNTH’S COMPOUND -- DORMITORY -- NIGHT

The men now are all loaded up with their weapons.

COMMANDER
Observation deck, move!

All of the men race out of the room for the observation deck.

111

INT. CUNTH’S COMPOUND -- OBSERVATION DECK -- NIGHT

MacGruber and Piper talking.

112

INT. CUNTH’S COMPOUND -- HALLWAY -- NIGHT

A LOUDSPEAKER blares as several armed men run down hallway.

113

INT. CUNTH’S COMPOUND -- OBSERVATION DECK -- NIGHT

MacGruber holds the foot pedal.

The windows explode as multiple machine guns shoot at the deck. Piper and MacGruber duck.

PIPER
What are we gonna do?
114

EXT. CUNTH’S COMPOUND -- MAIN FLOOR -- NIGHT

Cunth approaches as a bunch of his men shoot at the deck.

HENCHMAN
They’re trapped in the observation deck.
CUNTH
Yeah, I heard.

Cunth laughs.

CUNTH
Hold your fire! I wanna hear this.

The men hold their fire.

115

INT. CUNTH’S COMPOUND -- STAIRWELL -- NIGHT

Four guards begin running up the stairs.

116

EXT. CUNTH’S COMPOUND -- MAIN FLOOR -- NIGHT

CUNTH
(amused)
Fucking idiots. Kill them.
CONSTANTINE
Sir, we have men going up there.
CUNTH
And?
CONSTANTINE
Yes sir.

He motions to a GUARD who hands him a grenade launcher.

117

INT. CUNTH’S COMPOUND -- OBSERVATION DECK -- NIGHT

The four guards approach the door.

The guards kick in the door but nobody’s there.

CU: a brick on the on/off switch of the foot pedal

CU: Piper’s cell phone is leaned up against the microphone

The lead guard’s eyes bug out.

LEAD GUARD
Oh shit.
118

EXT. CUNTH’S COMPOUND -- MAIN FLOOR -- NIGHT

CUNTH
Fore!

Constantine launches a grenade. The deck explodes.

CUNTH
Now put out the god damn fire. If you need me, I’ll be arming the warhead. Don’t need me.
119

INT. CUNTH’S COMPOUND -- MACHINE ROOM -- NIGHT

Piper and MacGruber enter as MacGruber closes his phone.

PIPER
It was my idea.
PIPER
We used both of our phones.

Suddenly they are spotted by a GUARD who shoots at them. They dive for cover behind a couple of large metal drums.

GUARD
(into walkie-talkie)
They’re in the machine room!
120

EXT. CUNTH’S COMPOUND -- MAIN FLOOR -- NIGHT

Constantine holds up his walkie talkie.

CONSTANTINE
Machine room!

Everyone races to the machine room as Cunth shakes his head.

CUNTH
Fucking cockroaches.
121

INT. CUNTH’S COMPOUND -- HOLDING CELL -- NIGHT

Vicki has freed herself from the chair, but her hands are still tied behind her back. She lies on the floor, swings her legs over her head and gnaws at the rope on her wrists.

122

INT. CUNTH’S COMPOUND -- MACHINE ROOM -- NIGHT

MacGruber and Piper hunker down as they’re shot at. Piper has an AK-47 in one hand and an Uzi in the other. MacGruber is holding twine and a bottle cap.

Piper stands up and returns fire.

PIPER
MacGruber, shut the fuck up!

Piper returns fire.

PIPER
There are too many guys! I need you to take two of these guns.
PIPER
Well you better start because sticking a fucking carrot in your ass isn’t gonna hack it this time.
PIPER
Why?
PIPER
(beat, amazed)
You got to be fucking kidding me.
PIPER
Do you want to save Vicki?

Piper holds out the guns. MacGruber thinks about it -- a look of determination comes over his face. He grabs them.

PIPER
You point it and you shoot it!

MacGruber holds up the gun, averts his eyes and fires wildly.

PIPER
Aim for a person!

A guy runs across the room. Both MacGruber and Piper shoot at him. The guy gets hit and goes down.

PIPER
I think I actually got him, but you’re doing great. Okay, I’m gonna take these guys out.

TWO ARMED MEN approach. MacGruber shoots -- both go down.

MacGruber stands fearlessly and shoots willy nilly at everything.

A GUY in the distance goes down. MacGruber dives back down.

PIPER
Look, we’re sitting ducks in here, so here’s what we do. On three, we make a run for that door. And whatever you do, keep shooting!

PIPER/MACGRUBER One... two... three!

Piper and MacGruber shoot like crazy as they race for the door. Piper looks like a badass, MacGruber does not. They bust through the door to find themselves in a:

123

INT. CUNTH’S COMPOUND -- BOILER ROOM - NIGHT

Filled with pipes and steam. A GUARD appears and raises his gun to shoot. MacGruber lunges for Piper in slo-mo.

MacGruber lands in front of Piper and shields him heroically. The GUARD attempts to fire but his gun is jammed.

MacGruber punches the guard a few times -- the guard falls to the ground, momentarily stunned.

PIPER
Hey... go for the turkey.

Piper smiles at him -- it’s a smile of warmth and respect -- a real bond has formed between the two of them.

PIPER
No, thank you for thinking you were saving my life.
PIPER
Put ‘er there.

As they lock hands, the guard gets up and charges them.

CHARGING GUARD
Aaaaaaah!

MacGruber twirls Piper around like a fancy dance move, clutching him against his chest. Together, MacGruber and Piper rip out the guard’s throat. He falls to the ground.

Piper shakes his head and smiles. They make their way to:

124

INT. CUNTH’S COMPOUND -- HALLWAY - NIGHT

MacGruber and Piper run around a corner. At the end of the hall is a large metal door.

They open the door to reveal Vicki is a tangled mess lying on the floor. Her body is impossibly contorted. And somehow the chair is lying on top of her.

MACGRUBER/PIPER Vicki!

VICKI
Hi!

SFX: Click

Constantine holds a gun to MacGruber’s head.

MACGRUBER/PIPER Constantine.

CONSTANTINE
The party’s over. Come with me.
125

INT. CUNTH’S COMPOUND -- X5 LAUNCH SITE -- NIGHT

Constantine leads MacGruber, Vicki and Piper into a large room. The X5 sits in the middle on a launch pad. The State of the Union Address plays on a large monitor on the wall.

NEWS ANCHOR (O.S.)
...I’m told the President has just arrived. Should be entering the chamber shortly. There’s the good Senator from Vermont...

Cunth hits the mute.

CUNTH
Oh MacGruber, you’re just in time. You want a potsticker or a Molson or something? We made a pretty substantial Costco run. Might be tough to get food for a while, so we got enough to last for like an entire nuclear winter.
(re: Vicki & Piper)
Constantine, be a lamb and watch these two. I want to play with MacGruber for a while.

Constantine holds his gun on Vicki and Piper. The Culebra twins hold MacGruber by his arms.

CUNTH
So MacGruber, first off let me thank you for that upper decker you left me.

Cunth punches MacGruber’s stomach.

CUNTH
Oh no! Help me Mommy! Is MacGruber gonna rip my throat out?

MacGruber tries spit in Cunth’s face but it just dribbles down his chin.

CUNTH
(not impressed)
Really?
CUNTH
I am the right team. The America you represent has been usurped by years of lies, corruption and moral turpitude. It’s a broken system that can’t be fixed. So it’s got to be replaced. That’s where I come in.
CUNTH
And what’s that?
CUNTH
There will be some collateral damage. But it’s all for the greater good. Well, I’m blathering on and on. Shall we get to your deaths? Oh, but before we do, there’s something I’ve been wanting to do for a long time.

Cunth pulls out scissors from his pocket.

CUNTH
Anybody up for a little trim?

He starts to approach MacGruber. MacGruber struggles but the Culebra twins are way too strong.

CUNTH
I just want you to look good in your coffin.
CUNTH
Boys?

The Culebras force MacGruber to his knees. Cunth pushes his head down, grabs the back of his mullet, and in one snip, cuts it all off.

MACGRUBER/VICKI Noooooo!

Cunth holds up the hair against the back of his own neck.

CUNTH
(girly voice)
Oo, I’m MacGruber. Fuck you, you piece of shit. I’m gonna go pound some Cunth. You wanna go?!

Cunth, Constantine and the Culebra twins laugh heartily.

MacGruber raises his head up very slowly. He is filled with a Hulk-level rage.

CU: his angry eyes

With superhuman strength, he breaks free of the Culebra twins’ grasp and in one smooth motion, rips their throats out. Constantine raises his gun.

PIPER (O.C.)
Hey!

Constantine turns to see Piper, who now has his pants around his ankles and a carrot up his butt. Piper does a silly dance and makes noises.

CONSTANTINE
What the fuck?

Vicki roundhouse kicks Constantine’s face, knocking him out cold. Piper winks at MacGruber. MacGruber smiles back, proud. It’s a wonderful moment.

MacGruber spin-kicks the gun out of Cunth’s hand. They both race for the gun but MacGruber gets to it first. Cunth appears nervous for the first time.

CUNTH
I thought you didn’t use guns.

He shoots at Cunth’s hand. Direct hit.

CUNTH
Ah! Son of a bitch!
CUNTH
It’s 1-4-2-F-U-C-K-Y-O-U-

MacGruber shoots his other hand. Cunth hunches over in pain.

CUNTH
God damn it!
CUNTH
(mocking)
What’s the fucking code?

Somehow through the pain, Cunth starts to laugh. MacGruber shoots him in both of his feet.

CUNTH
Motherfuck! Just kill me and get it over with.
CUNTH
...let me guess, shove it in my mouth? You’re like a broken record.

MacGruber handcuffs Cunth to a railing on the wall. An alarm sounds, warning lights flash.

FEMALE COMPUTER VOICE (V.O.)
Launch commencing in three minutes.

Vicki looks at her watch.

VICKI
Three minutes, MacGruber!

She smiles fakely and nods.

VICKI
MacGruber, the bomb!
PIPER
You got it, MacGruber.

Piper hands him the copper wire.

VICKI
Here you go, MacGruber!

Vicki hands him the ball bearing.

PIPER
On the way, Grubes!

Piper hands him pliers. MacGruber turns around and starts working on something.

VICKI/PIPER Hurry up, MacGruber!/We’re running out of time!

MacGruber turns back around, gets down on one knee and presents to Vicki a hastily assembled copper wire ring with a ball bearing diamond.

VICKI
(frantically)
Yes yes, great, yeah, sure!

MacGruber pries open the console of the bomb.

VICKI
What’s wrong, MacGruber?

MacGruber pulls out a million tiny wires from the console.

PIPER
A bomb. You can defuse it, right?
FEMALE COMPUTER VOICE
Launch commencing in two minutes.
VICKI
Two minutes, MacGruber!
CUNTH
Bravo MacGruber. I expected nothing less from a washout like you. In the next ninety seconds that X5 will turn Washington D.C. into a pile of rubble! I win. You lose. Sound familiar?

MacGruber takes his Swiss Army Knife and does surgery on the X5. Moments later, he pulls out the glowing deadly WARHEAD.

CUNTH
Goddamn it! It doesn’t matter! That drone is still carrying enough ammonium nitrate to blow up the White House, Congress and the Senate combined!

MacGruber starts fidgeting again inside the X5.

...might be hard to fly it without... the guidance system.

MacGruber holds up an advanced looking DIGITAL BOX with wires sticking out of it. Cunth looks horrified.

Vicki checks her watch.

VICKI
Twenty two seconds!
CUNTH
Nooooooo! But my new society!
FEMALE COMPUTER VOICE (V.O.)
20... 19... 18...

MacGruber, Vicki and Piper run out of the building. Moments later, MacGruber runs back in, grabs his shorn hair fragments and takes off again.

126

INT. CUNTH’S COMPOUND -- HALLWAY -- NIGHT

MacGruber, Vicki and Piper race down the hallway.

FEMALE COMPUTER VOICE
...12... 11... 10... 9
127

INT. CUNTH’S COMPOUND -- X5 LAUNCH SITE -- NIGHT

Cunth waits to die.

FEMALE COMPUTER VOICE
8... 7... 6... 5...

Suddenly, he sees something: in the corner of the room is an axe. His eyebrows raise.

128

EXT. CUNTH’S COMPOUND -- NIGHT

MacGruber, Vicki and Piper throw open the door and sprint away from the compound!

FEMALE COMPUTER VOICE
... 4... 3... 2... 1...

The building explodes! MacGruber, Piper and Vicki are blown off their feet by the blast as debris rains down around them.

Push in slowly on MacGruber.

FADE TO BLACK.

FADE IN:

129

EXT. GAZEBO -- DAY

MacGruber and Vicki stand at an altar. MacGruber’s rescued mullet is taped onto the back of his head. Piper is the best man. Faith sits in the front row.

MINISTER
... theirs is a love that knows no bounds. A love that heals in times of sickness. A love that forgives in times of anger. A love that loves in times of love.

Vicki smiles.

MINISTER
Now is there anyone here with just cause why these two souls should not be joined in holy matrimony?

Reveal Casey’s ghost behind Vicki. She shakes her head no.

Vicki turns behind her, but there’s nobody there.

MINISTER
Then let’s get to it. Do you Vicki Gloria St. Elmo take MacGruber to be your lawfully wedded husband?
VICKI
I do.

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.

MINISTER
And do you, MacGruber take Vicki Gloria St. Elmo...

CU: the back of the waiter’s head

MINISTER
...to be your lawfully wedded wife?

CU: waiter’s head. He turns just enough to see it’s Cunth.

Cunth lifts up a shoulder mounted rocket launcher and fires it at the altar.

MacGruber lunges for Vicki and pushes her out of the way just in time. However, the minister is blown to smithereens. Cunth drops the rocket launcher and charges at MacGruber. MacGruber quickly overpowers him and punches and kicks him until he’s right at the edge of the cliff.

MacGruber kicks Cunth in the stomach repeatedly. Cunth moans but then somehow starts laughing.

CUNTH
I was just thinking about your last wedding. I heard the bride got really bombed.

He laughs hard. MacGruber starts laughing too.

CUNTH
What?

MacGruber takes out his Swiss Army Knife and opens the blade.

MacGruber cuts Cunth’s dick off and shoves it in his mouth.

MacGruber then pulls a grenade out, pulls the pin, puts it in Cunth’s jacket and zips it up.

MacGruber pushes Cunth off of the cliff.

CUNTH
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Piper throws him a machine gun. As Cunth falls to the rocks below, MacGruber riddles his falling body with bullets.

Finally, Cunth hits the ground.

Cunth explodes. After a beat, some droplets of liquid drizzle down on the ashes -- they hiss with steam.

Reveal MacGruber is pissing on Cunth’s ashes. When he’s done, he zips up his zipper and turns back to the wedding.

THE END
