BEN QUEEN
A sleek British sports car talks directly to us in a pixilated, garbled video. He's OUT OF BREATH. Crates are visible behind him. We're in the shadowy bowels of a steel room.
This is Agent Leland Turbo. I have a flash transmission for Agent Finn McMissile.
SUPERIMPOSE OVER BLACK: WALT DISNEY PICTURES PRESENTS
Finn. My cover's been compromised. Everything's gone pear-shaped.
SUPERIMPOSE OVER BLACK: A PIXAR ANIMATION STUDIOS FILM
You won't believe what I've found out here.
He angles our camera view, reveals a PORTHOLE through which we can see flames rising in the distance.
This is bigger than anything we've ever seen. And no one even knows it exists. Finn, I need backup. But don't call the cavalry - it could blow the operation. And be careful. It's not safe out here!
ANGRY VOICES O.S. Time for Turbo to go.
Transmitting my grids now. Good luck!

TITLE CARD: CARS 2
EXT. SOMEWHERE IN THE NORTH PACIFIC - NIGHT
A TINY CRAB BOAT (CRABBY) crests over massive swells.
Alright buddy, we're here. Right where you paid me to bring you. Question is, why?
A metallic blue sports car, circa the `60s, emerges from the 2.
shadows. Cagey, smooth, he'd turn heads driving through any intersection in the world. Meet FINN MCMISSILE.
I'm looking for a car.
A car? Hey pal, you can't get any further away from land than out here.
Exactly where I want to be.
Well I got news for you, buddy. There's nobody out here but us.
Suddenly, a HORN -- a COMBAT SHIP, the size of most cruise ships. FINN quickly backs into the shadows, out of sight.
What are you doing out here?
What does it look like, genius? I'm crabbing!
Well turn around and go back where you came from.
Yeah? And who's gonna make me?
A laser sight hits Crabby between the eyes.
Alright, alright! Don't get your prop in a twist. (as he turns to leave) What a jerk. Sorry, buddy. Looks like it's the end of the line. Buddy?
ON CRABBY'S DECK: Finn is gone. CUT TO:
FINN - He HANGS off the side of COMBAT SHIP, clandestine.
We're with Finn as the ship continues on, cuts through the darkness with purpose. Suddenly small flames appear, perhaps a knot or so away. Then WHOOSH!!! A flame rises above Finn, the ship. It illuminates an OIL DERRICK. 3.
THWAP! Finn fires a GRAPPLING HOOK to the derrick and SWINGS toward it. He's going to SLAM into the side with brute force WHEN ---
--- HIS TIRES sprout a magnetic exoskeleton. He STICKS to the derrick and now DRIVES VERTICALLY UP UP UP...
From this vantage point, hundreds of derricks appear.
EXT. PLATFORM - OIL DERRICK - MOMENTS LATER
Finn approaches a loading bay from above, hides. He watches as GREMLINS, PACERS and assorted other cars scurry about.
Leland Turbo, this is Finn McMissile. I'm at the rally point. Over.
No response.
Leland, it's Finn. Please respond. Over.
AN ACCESS DOOR OPENS LOUDLY below. A boxy, monacle-wearing German car enters. This is PROFESSOR OTTO ZUNDAPP.
(in German and English)
Too many cars here. Out of my way!
Professor Zundapp?
Here it is, Professor.
Zundapp approaches a NOSY PACER who idles next to a CRATE.
You wanted to see this before we load it?
Ah, yes. Very carefully...
A forklift opens the crate -- inside is a TV CAMERA, packed carefully in foam. Finn SNAPS PHOTOS FURIOUSLY.
Oh. A TV camera. What does it actually do? 4.
This camera is extremely dangerous.
(TO HIMSELF)
What are you up to now, Professor?
Finn, angling for a better view, FIRES SUSPENSION WIRES ---
--- which sail clear to the other side of the derrick ---
--- THOK! They hook tightly onto a steel girder.
Finn slides out ONTO THE WIRE like an acrobat, then expels another cross-wire for support.
This is valuable equipment. Make sure it is properly secured for the voyage.
You got it.
Finn LOWERS HIMSELF. He snaps more pictures.
Hey, Professor Z!
Zundapp turns as a CRANE LOWERS A CAR-SIZED CRATE. GREM and ACER, an orange Gremlin and a green Pacer, flank it.
This is one of those British spies we told you about.
Yeah. This one we caught sticking his bumper where it didn't belong.
Finn PRODUCES SEMI-AUTOMATIC GUNS from his side, readies himself for a tag-team spy fight with his buddy Leland.
Agent Leland Turbo.
The crate is lifted, revealing a CRUSHED, CUBED Leland Turbo.
Finn's eyes go wide. Suddenly --- WHOOOSHHH! Another derrick flame rises behind him, casts a Finn-shaped SHADOW over the Professor. He looks up. 5.
It's Finn McMissile! He's seen the camera! Kill him!!
Finn UNLOADS with bullets as he starts to retreat --- He STOPS:
BAD GUY CARS are waiting for him on the catwalk where he just came from - BLOWTORCHES ready.
Finn, stuck in midair, notices an angry CRANE. Finn GRINS, having just found his escape.
THWAPTHWAPTHWAP!!! Finn releases three of his four cables, swinging, Indiana Jones-style on the last one TOWARD THE CRANE ---
--- where he lands on its BOOM, drives UP and LAUNCHES OFF IT where he LANDS - MOVING - onto another deck!
Finn now DRIVES, spraying oil and screeching around corners. A GREMLIN in pursuit hits the oil patch, loses control ---
--- and PLUMMETS OFF the side of the rig!
The Gremlin FALLS... it's like an eternity...
He smashes into the water and breaks into a million pieces.
ON FINN - Now set upon by 20 or 30 MORE pursuing cars. He has nowhere to go but UP UP UP a ramp toward the helipad. He spies some GASOLINE BARRELS, fires a SINGLE BULLET which cuts through its leather straps, sending barrels DOWN the ramp, PAST FINN ---
--- PAST the pursuing CARS ---
--- to the bottom where they EXPLODE in a CHAIN REACTION back UP THE RAMP, taking out at least 15 CARS!
ON THE HELIPAD - Finn blasts into view, pulls to a stop. No more road. Nowhere else to go.
The 20 BAD GUY CARS that are still in pursuit surround him, fire up their blowtorches. About to pounce.
Finn GRINS. The second time we've seen this grin. It means he's got something cooking.
Finn's REVERSE LIGHTS appear. He DRIVES BACKWARD off the edge of the helipad to the SHOCK of the other cars.
Finn falls. He turns himself so he's grill first, cleanly cutting into the water. 6.
He EMERGES, now sprouting HYDROFOIL and speeds away.
(NONPLUSSED)
Get to the boats.
THE BOATS - an army of combat ships quickly DROP into the sea and CHURN WATER with unprecedented fury as they quickly make up the distance between them and Finn, FIRING BULLETS as they do so.
He's getting away!
Not for long.
The LEAD COMBAT SHIP quietly drops a TORPEDO into the water. It skips along, connecting with Finn in his rear and EXPLODING with such force that water skyrockets into the night clouds.
UNDERWATER - McMissile SINKS. Then, he blinks. He GRINS. We're starting to like this grin and what follows it. He now CONVERTS into a submarine. From his trunk he releases four DECOY tires which float to the surface like body parts.
ON THE DERRICK - Professor Zundapp watches it all from far away.
He's dead, Professor.
Wunderbar. With Finn McMissile gone, who can stop us now?
EXT. RADIATOR SPRINGS - DAY
TOW MATER, a rusty tow truck, putters into view.
Mater. Tow Mater, that's who... is here to help you!
He approaches a broken-down sedan on the side of the road. He drives around to the front, catching OTIS' face for the first time.
Hey, Otis! 7.
Hey, Mater. Gosh, I'm so sorry. I thought I could make it this time, but... (he tries to start his engine, stalls) Smooth like pudding, huh? Ah, who am I kidding? I'll always be a lemon.
Mater hooks his friend and starts towing him.
Well dadgum, you're leaking oil again. Must be your gaskets. Hey, look on the bright side: This is your tenth tow this month, so that means it's on the house.
You're the only one that's nice to lemons like me, Mater.
Don't sweat it. These things happen to everybody, Otis.
But you never leak oil.
Yeah, but I ain't perfect. Don't tell nobody, but I think my rust is starting to show through.
Mater and Otis drive past THE RADIATOR SPRINGS WELCOME SIGN. It has been amended to say: "Home of Lightning McQueen."
Hey, is Lightning McQueen back yet?
Not yet.
He must be crazy-excited about winning his fourth Piston Cup. Four! Wow! 8.
Yeah, we're so dadgum proud of him. But I sure wish he'd hurry up and get back `cause we got a whole summer's worth of best friend fun to make up for. Just me and --
Ahead of them, a half-mile off, a RED RACE CAR is visible.
--- McQueen!
Mater FLOORS IT, dragging poor Otis behind him.
Uh, Mater? I'm in no hurry. You don't need to go so fast!
Boom! They hit a bump. Otis catches air.
EXT. RADIATOR SPRINGS - DAY
Lightning McQueen is surrounded by his hometown friends.
Oh, Lightning. Welcome home.
Good to have you back, honey.
Congratulations, man.
Welcome home, soldier.
The place wasn't the same without you, son.
What? Did he go somewhere?
It's good to be home, everybody.
McQueen!
They all turn around, see Mater speeding into town, with Otis swerving behind him.
Mater! 9.
McQueen!
Mater skids into main street and in one swift motion, slingshots Otis forward ---
Woaahhhhh!
--- right through Ramone's front door ---
INT. RAMONE'S - CONTINUOUS
--- where he lands perfectly on the hydraulic lift. Ramone lifts him up, routine.
Hey. How far'd you make it this time, Otis?
Halfway to the county line.
Not bad, man.
I know, I can't believe it either!
EXT. RADIATOR SPRINGS - CONTINUOUS
McQueen, welcome back!
Mater, it's so good to see you.
You too, buddy.
Mater and McQueen do an ELABORATE TIRE BUMP (fist bump style).
Oh, man. You ain't gonna believe the things I got planned for us.
Everyone watches as the tire bump continues.
(to Lizzie, an aside)
These best friend greetings get longer every year. 10.
(TO MCQUEEN)
You ready to have some serious fun?
Well, actually I've got something to show you first.
INT. RADIATOR SPRINGS MUSEUM - DAY
CLOSE ON THE PISTON CUP. It has now changed, been adorned with a small likeness of Doc. It says "Hudson Hornet Piston Cup."
Wow. I can't believe they renamed the Piston Cup after our very own Doc Hudson.
McQueen and Mater are alone, the museum closed to the public. McQueen approaches a "Hudson Hornet" wall with Doc's three Piston cups, framed articles, other racing ephemera.
I know Doc said these things were just old cups, but to have someone else win it just didn't feel right, you know?
Well, Doc would've been real proud of you. That's for sure.
McQueen takes this in.
EXT. RADIATOR SPRINGS - LATER
McQueen and Mater exit the Doc Hudson Museum.
Alright, pal. I've been waiting all summer for this. What've you got planned?
You sure you can handle it?
Come on, you know who you're talking to? This is Lightning McQueen. I can handle anything. 11.
EXT. RADIATOR SPRINGS - DAY
Mater and McQueen roll on an old train track, their tires off. They're on their rims.
Uh.... Mater?!
