ESTANKIKT Yes, I’m Esiankiki Jepkosgei. DEADPOOL, Esia...Bsian-kiki? You know what? T’m gonna call you, “The Greek Freak". Esiankiki frowns. Doesn't seem cool. Deadpool ignores it. DEADPOOL (CONT’D) Yeah....s0 ya'll payin’ me in Bitcoin. I’m surprised. You’re the first to agree to that. ESIANKIKT Whatever it takes. We're surprised you took the job actually. You don’t seem like the animal lover type.Beat. DEADPOOL, Oh don’t get me wrong, I'd rip that horn off my myself if a poacher paid me enough. I’m Jeremy Meeks when it comes to that bag.

DEADBOOL (CONT'D) You want some Ecko shirts? ESIANKIKE No. DEADPOOL Yeah. Me neither. (then) So where's this big grey nutsack- skin covered unicorn? ESIANKIKE We're hiding Sudan right now. He's very weak. We've been doing all we can, but if he stays in captivity he will die. The problem is the poachers. They're everywhere and they've been waiting for- DEADBOOL, oH My Gop! ESIANKIKI You see one?! DEADPOOL, Sanaa Lathan bit Beyonce's face. (scrolls) Wait. (relieved) oh thank God. It was Jennifer Lawrence. I already hate her. It's fine. He continues to scroll and stare at his phone. Esiankiki keeps driving awkwardly. He looks for a moment, then goes back to scrolling.DEADPOOL (CONT'D) (not looking up) It's an addiction. So if it seems like I’m not paying attention to you, it’s...cause I agree the..-what’d you say? EXT. MOUNTAIN SIDE - DAY ‘The jeep pulls through brush and into a clearing. There are twenty armed guards in uniform blocking a tunnel opening. ‘They let the jeep pass through and they park in the tunnel. The jeep is blasting “Rubbin off the Paint” by YBN Nahmir as they pull in. ESIANKIKI (trying to be polite) That song was... interesting. DEADPOOL Yeah, that’s my shit really. Him and Rich the Kid is all I really listen to lately...Rich the Kid not fas much tho. He be clout chasin’. (lookin’ around) Wow. This is cool. Well, not actual cool. But like “Vegas” cool. *Chainsmokers” cool. ESIANKIKI Who are you talking to? DEADPOOL (aggressive) The people watchin- (sadly corrects himself) The people reading this. ZACHARIAH (0.S.) You made it. ZACHARIAH MUFAI walks over. ZACHARIAH (CONT'D) Hello, I’m Zachariah. Sudan's keeper. We really appreciate you doing this. DEADPOOL Don't thank me. Thank the seven hundred Bitcoins you're paying me~ (he looks at his phone) oh my god. It dropped that much? (WORE)DEADPOOL (CONT'D) I went from Johnny Depp in Pirates of the Caribbean to...Johnny Depp in Pirates of the Caribbean. The ride. Deadpool pinches the bridge of his nose in frustration. DEADPOOL (CONT’D) Where’s this fuckin’ rhino? INT. MOUNTAIN TUNNEL - DAY A large rhino stands eating by a rock wall. Deadpool, Esiankiki, and Zachariah walk up to him. ZACHARIAH This ie Sudan. The last male northern white rhino on the Earth. DEADPOOL, (waves ) ai. ESIANKIKT When he dies. A piece of us dies as well. DEADPOOL, Pieces of me die all the time. Its fine. Also can’t you guys just grab some rhino semen and make more rhinos? ZACHARIA We'd prefer to do it naturally. But incase something does happen to him in the wild, we did have semen samples taken. DEADPOOL, So this isn’t even really the last male rhino? Ya'll can Jurassic Park this shit whenever you want? This feels like a waste of my time. ESIANKIKT I assure you it isn’t. Whatever you'd be doing instead wouldn’t be as significant. DEADPOOL, I'd be jackin’ llama‘s from eleven year olds.tachariah and Esiankiki stare: “what?” DEADPOOL (CONT’D) Fortnite? Hello? (then) Oh! "Jackin' llamas from eleven year olds” sounds awful. That’s not what I’m sayin’. I'm not Tekashi69. (claritying) I’m an AMAZING rapper. tachariah and Esiankiki are still confused. DEADPOOL (CONT’D) Wow. Nothing’s landing. Our cultures are very different. we have so much to teach each other. EXT. AFRICAN SAVANNAH - DAY A large flatbed releases Sudan out into the open the armed guards rally around and make sure he’s safe. Esiankiki and Zachariah wave from the jeep. ZACHARIAH Be careful. We only need you to follow him until he mates. Then you can collect your price. DEADPOOL I gotta follow him until he mates?! Man, fuck this job. This ain’t worth it. (phone alert) Bitcoin status alert. (checks) Holy Jeff Bezos! (sincere to Zachariah) I will protect him with my life. EXT. AFRICAN SAVANNAH - LATER tachariah, Esiankiki, and the armed guards drive away. DEADPOOL So. I guess it’s just you and me. Should be a fun script. Sudan just stands there chewing.DEADPOOL (COND) Oh I see. This is gonna be a “Castaway”, “Wilson” relationship where I just talk to myself through you the whole time? Cause to be honest it was feeling like an “Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls” ripoff. Wnich I was really excited about. Sudan chews. DEADPOOL (COND) He does come out of a rhino’s ass in that. “Castaway” it is. Sudan chews. DEADPOOL (COND) What's the wifi? EXT. AFRICAN SAVANNAH - LATER Deadpool and Sudan are walking through the brush. DEADPOOL It is very hot. Like damn. Sudan keeps walking. DEADPOOL (CON'’D) You're gonna love me by the way. I’m an amusing and charismatic wingman if I'm telling the truth. Sudan says nothing. Obviously. DEADPOOL (CONT’D) I don't know why I’m here either! I think the writer’s just mad. Or bored. We'll find out I guess. Together. Sudan stops and defecates. DEADPOOL (COND) Good call. Deadpool stands still for six seconds. DEADPOOL (CONT'D) Most people don’t think I wear a diaper under here. Probably cause I don’t. (MORE)DEADPOOL (CONT’D) Listen, can you find a female in like, the next fifteen minutes? 1 got Kings tickets. Sudan just stares far off. Deadpool’s Bitcoin alert goes off. He checks. DEADPOOL (CONT'D) Jesus. This isn’t worth my time again. (alert goes off again) JE-SUS! I'ma need that horn, bruh. Deadpool pulls out his sword. Alert goes off again. DEADPOOL (CONT'D) Oh wow! (then) You wanna go to a Kings game with ne? cur TO: INT. AFRICAN SAVANNAH - DAY Sudan is chewing on grass. Deadpool is sitting against a tree. DEADPOOL You know, I’m not mad about this whole “cancelled” thing. I actually think it’s a good thing. I mean, is it even a good time to have a violent, gun loving white man ranting on TV? (hard sell) Other than the PRESIDENT! Sudan continues chewing. DEADPOOL (CONT'D) If this was “Last Week Tonight”, people woulda laughed. (thinks better of it) Woulda clapped. Sudan turns and scratches a tree w/ his horn. DEADPOOL (CONT'D) I mean, I get it. Maybe they just wanna sell toys. And this style of comedy isn’t it. It’s more “ha-ha, but I’m mad”. I get that.Sudan shakes. ‘Then continues eating grass. DEADPOOL (CONT’D) Do you think they cancelled the show...cause of racism?! Sudan continues eating grass. DEADPOOL (CON'T’D) Yeah, but all the writers were black. And the references were pretty black too. I heard they went over the lunch budget ordering Jamaican food at least once a week. Sudan eats. DEADPOOL (CONT’D) You're right. Black Panther. (then) Maybe we were alienating our white audience? (then) No. We did a whole goat yoga episode. Damn. What was it? More eating. DEADPOOL (CONT’D) Noooocs. The Taylor Swift episode? Nah. No. They had to have loved that script. Sudan walks away. DEADPOOL (CON'T’D) Are you fucking kidding me? Deadpool gets up and chases him. DEADPOOL (CON'T’D) That episode's hilarious! Sudan doesn't look. He just keeps walking. DEADPOOL (CON'T’D) What? The Marvel stuff T said in it? All I said was Marvel was trying to sell toys to seven year old boys and fifty year old pedophiles. That’s just funny. They're cool. They get it. Sudan just keeps walking.DEADPOOL (CONT'D) Oh now I'm the asshole? That's fine, Sudan. Sudan stops and bites a bush of colorful flowers. DEADPOOL (CONT'D) What do I want?! T want to know why. I want the real story. If you have enough data you can Predict the future. That's all that's left. Google, Amazon, Facebook. Sudan grunts. DEADPOOL (CONT'D) Yeah. Fuck Facebook. Kick ‘em while they're down. (then) It just feels like everyone wants something different, but no one want to do anything different to get it. Doesn’t Marvel have enough feel-good minority shows everyone supports but doesn't watch? T mean, 1 think our show woulda been funny. I just wanted a place to be honest. (tearing up) And I guess that place is Freeform. Sudan stares at him for a moment. ‘Then walks off. Deadpool follows. EXT. AFRICAN SAVANNAH - LATER They cone to a clearing. The sun is setting in front of them. It’s very beautiful. The orange and browns blend together. This should be drawn super well. It’s a really beautiful place and it gives the sense of solace we're all looking for. DEADPOOL Wow. This is really beautiful. 1 really needed a quiet moment. They eit silent for a moment. It is a moment of true peace. DEADPOOL (CONT'D) You know what? You're alright. For a virgin. (MORE)10. DEADPOOL (CONT'D) (Bitcoin alert goes off) Oooh! Deadpool pulls out his phone. Suddenly, Deadpool is SPLATTERED with bullets. About twenty gunshots go off from an automatic. Deadpool turns around and Armed guards comes from the brush. DEADPOOL (CONT'D) Fuck! Ya'll Sacramento police? The armed guards look at each other. Deadpool pulls out his own guns. DEADPOOL (CONT’D) HA! Just kidding! I've actually got guns! You should've killed me when you had the chance like the NYPD! He flips into the air and sprays back at the guards. ‘They are both shot multiple times, but one stumbles over to Sudan, and pulls the pin from a grenade that strapped to his vest as he collapses. DEADPOOL (CONT'D) (gasp) My Bitcoins! Deadpool runs over and collapses on the guard/grenade. It EXPLODES. Deadpool’s entire abdomen BURSTS out his back. Black bile sprays everywhere. DEADPOOL (CONT’D) Is that blood? Or did I eat beets? CLAPPING comes from the bush. Zachariah walks out with more armed guards. ZACKARIAH (0.S.) It was me. The whole time. DEADPOOL What? What are you talking about? ZACHARIAH I’m the one selling the rhino ivory. Deadpool is confused. And still bleeding. You can see his intestines falling out of him as he gets up and walks to Bachariah.ll. DEADPOOL, What the hell are you talking about? ZRCBARIAH Didn't you see all the clues I left? I’m the villain. Deadpool stares at him. ZACHARIAH (CONT’D) I own the last two female rhinos? I’m using the sperm, impregnating, and making more rhinos to sell the ivory at a price I dictate? DEADPOOL, Dude, I’m sorry. I've been on my own journey. I didn’t see any clues. ZACHARIAH I left them everywhere. DEADPOOL, Yeah... An awkward beat. ZACHARIAH DEADPOOL (CONT'D) I'm sorry. I should've been All good. Nah, it’s all more clear. T just assumed good. T should've been you were looking for who's looking. It was classic killing them. T...T didn’t “When Nature Calls”, it’s my plan this. My apologies. bad. All good. They stand for a moment. Suddenly, they both begin SHOOTING at each other. Deadpool flips over Zachariah and shoots four armed guards. Deadpool rushes another guard and slices him in half with his Katana swords. DEADPOOL (CONT'D) Sorry you had to split. Two more guards shoot at Deadpool. He hops towards them while dodging bullets. He cuts the guards up with his swords again. DEADPOOL (CONT'D) T see you're dancing. But can T gut, in.12. A guard runs at Deadpool screaming with a hunting knife in his hand. Deadpool takes a atab to the chest but counters with a jumping swipe thet cuts the guard from groin to head. DEADPOOL (CONT'D) Save me a slice. One last guard appears with a rocket launcher. Before he can get his shot off Deadpool throws his sword and decapitates the guard. The rocket flies vertically into the sky. DEADPOOL (CONT'D) White guys give the best...head? ZACHARIAH (0.S.) No. Please. No more. Deadpool turns to find Zachariah standing near Sudan. ZACHARIAH (CONT'D) No more one-liners. They're awful. DEADPOOL why'd you even hire me for this if you were the bad guy? Why pay me to protect this dinosaur? ZACHARIAH I needed a fall guy. A patsy. Plus when I hired you Bitcoin was trading at 2 cents a coin. DEADPOOL (laughs) Yeah, it’s been a crazy summer. ZACHARIAH Listen. I'1l pay you a hundred- thousand cash right now. Just leave me with the beast and it’s yours. DEADPOOL, No way. I've grown to love the little guy. Because in a way he reminds me of me. Ugly. And something people only cared about after like a million years. Deadpool's Bitcoin alert goes off. He looks at his phone and then his jaw drops.13. DEADPOOL (CONT'D) Really!?7! I shoulda went Litecoin like that fucking Reddit nerd told me. (to Zachariah) Rhino's all yours pal. Deadpool begins to walk away as Sudan groans in the background. The creature actually seems sad. Deadpool’s Bitcoin alert goes off again. He checks it. DEADPOOL (CONT'D) (excited) Yes! I knew I/d be rich! Bitcoin is the future! Deadpool turns to Zachariah. DEADPOOL (CONT'D) Sorry but I don't need your money. And Sudan is my friend, Zachariah furrows his brow in anger. He quickly draws his gun but Deadpool draws faster. He fires one shot that hits Zachariah right between the eyes, killing him instantly. DEADPOOL (CONT'D) (to camera) Take ‘notes teachers of America. Someday you'll have to make @ high pressure shot like that. (to Sudan) Let's go home Sudan. The two walk off into the sunset. It’s beautiful and everything feels right. In the distance we hear Deadpool’s Bitcoin alert go off. DEADPOOL, (CONT'D) What the Fuck!! (then) It was Sanna Lathan?! cur To: INT. DEADPOOL’S HOUSE - DAY Deadpool is on his couch drinking a cup of tea. He’s wearing a Rhino skin coat with the head as a hood. There’s a dog on a leash by him. Two movers are bringing in a piano.14. DEADPOOL, (to movers) Yeah, right there is fine. ‘The movers place the piano and leave. BLIND AL walks in. BLIND AL Wow. You really are a cold son of a bitch huh? DEADPOOL, No! I made the best parts of Sudan into something 111 keep forever. Deadpool pulls out two ivory handled pistols. DEADPOOL ( CONT’ D) See. The dog barks at Al. BLIND AL. What's the dog for? DEADPOOL, Oh it's a seeing- eye dog. I'm drinking this Rhino-horn-powder-tea and I should have a pretty intense erection for 6 hours. I figured I should be prepared for the worst. BLIND AL IT see. Well what about me? DEADPOOL, I saved you some in the pot, calm down. Blind excitedly runs to the kitchen to get her tea. Deadpool sits alone and toasts his tea cup in the air. DEADPOOL (CONT! D) This is for you Sudan. May your clone live on forever. ‘THE END CARD: In loving memory of Sudan, the last male white Rhino.
