POE
We're going back to Jakku. That's
where.
FINN
No no no! We can't go back to Jakku!
We need to get outta this system!
NEAR-MISS LASER BLASTS as Poe pilots aggressively.
POE
I got to get to my droid before the
First Order does!
FINN
What - a droid?!
POE
That's right. He's a BB unit! Orange
and white: one of a kind.
FINN
I don't care what color he is! No
droid can be that important!
POE
This one is, pal.
FINN
We need to get as far away from the
First Order as we can! We go back
to Jakku, we die!
POE
That droid's got a map that leads
straight to Luke Skywalker!
FINN
Oh, you gotta be kidding me!!! I--
Suddenly BAM! THEY ARE HIT!
EXT. TIE FIGHTER - DAY
The TIE FIGHTER SPARKS AND SMOKES, SPIRALING out of control
toward the surface of Jakku!
INT. STAR DESTROYER MAIN BRIDGE - DAY
Captain Phasma and General Hux stand before a holographic
projection detailing FN-2187's service records.
CAPTAIN PHASMA
FN-2187 reported to my division, was
evaluated and sent to Reconditioning.
GENERAL HUX
No prior signs of non-conformity?
(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:
CAPTAIN PHASMA
This was his first offense.
A technician checks her readings, reports to General Hux.
TECHNICIAN #1
General. They've been hit.
GENERAL HUX
Destroyed?
TECHNICIAN #1
(getting readings)
Disabled. They were headed back to
Jakku -- the fighter's projected to
crash in the Goazon badlands.
GENERAL HUX
They were going back for the droid --
send a squad to the wreckage.
EXT. JAKKU DESERT - DAY
TIGHT ON FINN'S FACE: His EYES OPEN. He goes from unconscious
to terrified, fast. He sits up, looks around. CUT BACK
WIDE: he sits in the middle of an EPIC DESERT, DUNES FOREVER.
A BLACK CHUTE blows in the wind behind him, scattered debris.
Then he sees, over distant dunes, RISING BLACK SMOKE. He
gets up -- moves toward it, calling out:
FINN
Poe! Poe!
Finn scrambles over the massive dune to the TIE FIGHTER,
SMOKING AND ON FIRE, small debris around it. He thinks he
sees POE'S ARM -- he pulls on it, but it's JUST POE'S JACKET.
He throws that off and tries to find a way in -- even a way
to LOOK INSIDE, but the smoke and heat make it impossible.
FINN (CONT'D)
Poe!!! POE!
Suddenly the ship BEGINS TO SINK -- like it's being CONSUMED
INTO QUICKSAND -- Finn is slipping in too --
FINN (CONT'D)
POE!!! POE!!!
It becomes clear fast: if Finn doesn't get away, he's gonna
get sucked in too! So Finn scampers away from the TIE FIGHTER
as it SINKS INTO THE SAND! We're in the Sinking Fields. A
few moments and IT'S GONE.
Finn's out of breath. Horrified. Then A GIANT EXPLOSION
ERUPTS FROM below, SENDING SAND AND DEBRIS EVERYWHERE!
Finn sees this, disoriented, scared, exhausted and defeated.
And all alone.

EXT. DESERT - DAY
ENDLESS DUNES BEHIND HIM, Finn walks, removing pieces of his
Stormtrooper gear, using Poe's FLIGHT JACKET for shade.
EXT. DESERT - DAY
Exhausted, Finn continues his trek across the endless, sandy
nothingness.
EXT. DESERT - DAY
Finn, parched and losing hope, he walks to the edge of a
massive dune, looks out into the epic valley below. Miles
ahead: NIIMA OUTPOST.
INT. STAR DESTROYER - BRIDGE - DAY
General Hux and Kylo Ren walk the length of the bridge.
GENERAL HUX
Supreme Leader Snoke was explicit.
Capture the droid if we can, but
destroy it if we must.
KYLO REN
How capable are your soldiers,
General?
GENERAL HUX
(with vitriol)
I won't have you question my methods.
KYLO REN
They're obviously skilled at
committing high treason. Perhaps
Leader Snoke should consider using a
clone army.
GENERAL HUX
(you son-of-a-bitch)
My men are exceptionally trained --
programmed from birth--
KYLO REN
Then they should have no problem
retrieving the droid. Unharmed.
GENERAL HUX
Careful, Ren. That your "personal
interests" not interfere with orders
from Leader Snoke.
KYLO REN
I want that map. For your sake, I
suggest you get it.
Ren heads off. Hux hates him.

EXT. NIIMA OUTPOST - DAY
Sun-scorched and exhausted, Finn stumbles out of the desert
into the Outpost. In a heatstroke daze he moves past enormous
old SHIP PARTS, MERCHANTS, SCAVENGERS and TENTED STALLS.
FINN
Water... water... water..
He sees a WATER TROUGH where a filthy, slobbering hippo-like
creature (a HAPPABORE) DRINKS. Finn moves to it, uses his
hands to desperately DRINK the filthy water. After a couple
swallows he SPITS IT OUT, disgusted.
FINN (CONT'D)
-- Awgh, GAH!
But he's parched and immediately RETURNS FOR MORE.
ACROSS THE MARKETPLACE, REY kneels with an emphatically
BEEPING BB-8.
Just then, TWO of UNKAR'S THUGS approach and stop her. One
clearly tells her that they're taking the droid. BB-8 reacts
nervously as Rey resists them -- one pulls a SACK over BB-8
while the other grabs Rey's arm -- in the tussle, Rey KNOCKS
OVER METAL URNS for sale --
Finn, still drinking, is PUSHED OVER by the happabore. He
falls to the ground, then turns to look when he HEARS
CRASHING. He sees, through the tents, REY FIGHTING.
He moves UP CLOSER to help this young woman being accosted --
but he STOPS when Rey begins to FIGHT BACK -- scrappy and
feral, she KICKS, BITES and HITS. Finn is taken aback as
she DEFEATS the attackers, who hit the sand, hard.
Finn just watches, stunned.
Rey moves to the COVERED BB-8 -- PULLS THE SACK OFF OF HIM.
Finn cannot believe his eyes. IT'S POE'S DROID!
Rey talks to BB-8, who, nervous now, looks around and...
SEES FINN! BB-8 STARTS BEEPING like crazy. Then something
insane happens: REY LOOKS AT FINN.
REY
(To BB-8) Who? Him?
Finn is confused. Rey stands, staring at Finn, defiant.
Finn can feel trouble coming -- and Rey begins CHARGING AT
HIM, quarterstaff in hand.
Realizing he's the target, Finn begins to RUN -- away from
her, through the tent marketplace. Rey goes after him -- he
turns a corner -- then another -- then BAM! She's got

ahead of him and SLAMS HIM TO THE GROUND WITH HER STAFF!
Finn is on his back, out of breath and freaked out. She
holds the staff on him threateningly:
REY
What's your hurry, thief?
FINN
What--?! Thief?
BB-8 ROLLS UP FAST, MOVES TO FINN -- a WELDING ARM TELESCOPES
FROM HIS BODY AND SHOCKS FINN!
FINN (CONT'D)
OW! HEY! What?!
REY
The jacket! This droid says you
stole it!
FINN
I've had a pretty messed up day,
alright?! So I'd appreciate it you
stop accusing me -- OW!!!
(BB-8 has ZAPPED him
again)
STOP IT!
REY
Where'd you get it? It belongs to
his master.
Finn looks at her -- then the agitated droid, Finn's mind
racing. He puts it all together. Frustrated, but sighs
heavily, needing to respond somehow. So he makes a hard
decision: to tell the truth.
FINN
It belonged to Poe Dameron. That
was his name, right?
Rey and BB-8 react, surprised and wanting more.
FINN (CONT'D)
He was captured... by the First Order!
I helped him escape but our ship
crashed.
(reliving it)
Poe didn't make it.
(sees BB-8 is sad,
rolls off)
Look, I tried to help him. I'm
sorry...
BB-8 heads off to the side, depressed. Rey watches BB-8,
then considers Finn again. Says, a bit impressed:
REY
So you're with the Resistance?
(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:
Finn's mind races again. He makes an easy decision: to lie.
FINN
Obviously. Yes. I am. I'm with
the Resistance, yeah.
(whispers)
I'm with the Resistance.
Rey lowers her staff, Finn stands. Rey studies him:
REY
I've never met a Resistance fighter
before.
FINN
Well, this is what we look like.
Some of us. Others look different.
REY
BB-8 says he's on a secret mission,
he has to get back to your base.
FINN
Apparently he's carrying a map that
leads to Luke Skywalker, and
everyone's after it.
She turns to him, concerned, curious. And asks:
REY
Luke Skywalker? I thought he was a
myth.
Just then BB-8 BEEPS MADLY at something he sees.
REY (CONT'D)
What is it?
Rey moves to him, peeks around a tent corner. Now Finn moves
to see: at a distance, TWO STORMTROOPERS TALKING TO UNKAR'S
THUGS -- who POINT THEIR WAY!
Finn urgently grabs her hand and heads for the tents:
REY (CONT'D)
(re: her hand)
What are you doing?!
FINN
Come on!
Suddenly LASER BLASTS RIP PAST THEM, HIT THE CLEANING UNIT,
SPEWING STEAM! Rey SCREAMS -- MORE BLASTS as they run!
EXT. NIIMA OUTPOST - DAY
Finn and Rey holding hands, the three race, ZIGZAGGING through
a maze of tents:
(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:
FINN
Come on, BB-8!
REY
Let go of me!
FINN
No, we gotta move!
REY
(pulls her hand back)
I know how to run without you holding
my hand! BB-8 stay close! This
way!
Now Finn and BB-8 follow Rey -- ANOTHER BLAST just missing
them! They disappear through a tent.
TRACK FAST WITH STORMTROOPERS, through the tent maze. They
come out of a tent, HAVING MOMENTARILY LOST THEIR TARGET.
STORMTROOPER
Call in the air strike!
REY, FINN AND BB-8 duck into another tent:
INT. NIIMA OUTPOST - TENT - DAY
Rey, Finn and BB-8 move through RUSTY WARES and take cover.
Quiet, urgent:
REY
They're shooting at both of us!
FINN
Yeah, they saw you with me! You're
marked!
REY
Well, thanks for that!
FINN
I'm not the one who chased you down
with a stick! Does anyone have
blasters around here?!
REY
(to BB-8)
Are you okay?
Finn QUIETS HER WITH A GESTURE, HEARING SOMETHING.
PUSH IN ON FINN -- whatever he hears alarms him greatly --
he GRABS HER HAND AGAIN -- PULLS HER AWAY --
REY (CONT'D)
Stop taking my hand!

EXT. NIIMA OUTPOST - TENT - DAY
Finn pulls Rey from the tent -- BB-8 FOLLOWS --
As they race from the tent a TIE FIGHTER SCREAMS INTO VIEW
FROM BEHIND THE TENTS! A SECOND FOLLOWS CLOSE BEHIND. IT
FIRES AT THEM -- A MASSIVE BLAST SENDS REY AND FINN FLYING --
BB-8 ROLLING!
WIDE SHOT: TWO TIE FIGHTERS SCREAM OVER the town, the
EXPLOSION throws sand and debris fifty feet into the air.
Rey is thrown HARD to the ground -- she is rattled, truly
afraid. Then she turns: FINN lies nearby, unconscious.
Suddenly afraid, she scrambles to him, rolls him over. BB-8
ROLLS OVER, BEEPING in concern.
REY
Hey!
As Finn comes to, he sees her. Through his fog:
FINN
-- Are you okay?
And that very question touches her -- having never in her
life been asked it.
REY
Yeah.
(extends her hand)
Follow me.
Grateful, Finn takes it. They're off.
LOCALS run amok as TIE fighters DIVE BOMB. REY, Finn and BB8 SPRINT, BLASTER EXPLOSIONS GET CLOSER AND CLOSER!
EXT. NIIMA OUTPOST - SPACEPORT - DAY
Rey, STAFF strapped to her back, leads the way as she, Finn
and BB-8 race into the spaceport. Finn glances back: TWO
TIE FIGHTERS BANK their return. They YELL:
FINN
We can't outrun them!
Rey POINTS to a parked, four-engine SHIP ahead:
REY
We might in that quad-jumper!
FINN
We need a pilot!
REY
We've got one!
(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:
FINN
You?!
(then, indicates one
OFF-CAMERA)
What about that ship?
REY
That one's garbage!
They run for the JUMPER but the passing TIE FIGHTERS FIRE AT
IT, BLOWING IT APART IN A HUGE FLAME BALL! Rey, coming to a
quick stop, RIGHT UP TO CAMERA:
REY (CONT'D)
The garbage'll do!
She turns and runs back -- Finn and BB-8 follow as they all
run toward the piece of junk -- and we see it for the first
time: THE MILLENNIUM FALCON!
TIE fighters BANK AROUND AGAIN. Finn, Rey and BB-8 run up
the ramp of the semi-tarped Falcon.
INT. MILLENNIUM FALCON - DAY
Finn, Rey and BB-8 enter the ship -- she hits a control and
the door DESCENDS CLOSED as she races to the cockpit:
REY
Gunner position's down there!
FINN
(climbs down)
Y'ever fly this thing?
INT. MILLENNIUM FALCON - COCKPIT - DAY
Rey tosses her staff aside, jumps into the pilot's seat,
frantically flips switches. BB-8 rolls in behind her as the
ENGINES WHINE to life:
REY
No! This ship hasn't been flown in
years!
INT. MILLENNIUM FALCON - GUNNER POSITION - DAY
Finn buckles into the gunner seat -- to his shock the SEAT
WHIPS TO THE LEFT, startling him -- he grabs the controls to
steady himself.
FINN
Great.
(reacts to seat)
Whoa! I can do this, I can do this--
INT. MILLENNIUM FALCON - COCKPIT - DAY
Rey bucks herself up. Doesn't believe her quick words:
(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:
REY
I can do this, I can do this--
Rey pulls the yoke:
THE FALCON ENGINES LIGHT UP BRIGHT!
EXT. NIIMA OUTPOST - SPACEPORT - DAY
The FALCON RISES, WILDLY -- ITS TARPS FLY OFF -- THE SHIP
SPINS AND TILTS, SLAMS INTO AND CRUMBLES THE TOWN'S ARCHWAY!
From the tents, Unkar Plutt runs out, SCREAMS:
UNKAR
HEY!!!! THAT'S MIIIIIIINE!!!
The Falcon BLASTS AWAY, two TIE FIGHTERS chase it, fast!
INT. MILLENNIUM FALCON - DAY
Rey pilots, headed for the sky!
Finn SWINGS into frame, trying to work the GUNS.
FINN
Whoa! Hey! Oh! Stay low! Stay
low!
REY
WHAT?
FINN
Stay low! It confuses their tracking!
For a crazy instant Rey LETS GO OF THE YOKE, stretches to
the co-pilot controls -- THE FALCON CANTS!
REY
BB-8, hold on!
Rey finally REACHES the switches, returns to the yoke,
stabilizing the ship, afraid of this next move.
REY
I'M GOING LOW!!!
EXT. DESERT - DAY
BEHIND THE FALCON as it DRAMATICALLY BANKS AT AN UPWARD ARC,
UPSIDE-DOWN, then SWOOPS PERILOUSLY LOW across the sand.
Two TIE FIGHTERS SCREAM past us!
INT. MILLENNIUM FALCON - DAY
In the cylindrical corridor, BB-8 ROLLS TO THE CEILING!
Rey looks back for a flash as the TIE Fighters pass -- They
are ROCKED BY A BLAST!
(CONTINUED)

I
am
back...

CONTINUED:
REY
What are you doing back there? Are
you ever gonna fire back?!
Finn flicks switches -- The GUN TARGETING LIGHTS UP:
FINN
I'm working on it! Are the shields
up?
Rey strains, reaching for something in the co-pilot seat.
REY
Not so easy without a co-pilot!
Finn struggles with the gun controls and SWEEPING CHAIR:
FINN
Try sitting in this thing!
Finn finally FIRES BACK at the two TIE FIGHTERS!
EXT. DESERT - DAY
Finn's shots MISS. The TIE FIGHTERS ARC BACK IN PURSUIT and
SCREAM PAST US toward the Falcon! Both TIES FIRING!
INT. TIE FIGHTER COCKPIT - DAY
The BLACK-SUITED PILOT FIRES at the Falcon.
INT. MILLENNIUM FALCON - GUNNER POSITION - DAY
The Falcon is ROCKED by another BLAST!
FINN
We need cover, quick!
INT. MILLENNIUM FALCON - COCKPIT - DAY
Rey HITS SWITCHES, pilots the best she can:
REY
We're about to get some!
(to herself)
I hope.
EXT. DESERT - DAY
The Falcon speeds through a ROCK FORMATION, GRAZING THE ROCK,
TAKING OUT A CHUNK -- the two TIE Fighters in pursuit, FIRING!
The Falcon BANKS SO HARD, the edge of the ship RIPS A LINE
IN THE SAND as it turns, REVEALING THE SHIP GRAVEYARD AHEAD.
INT. MILLENNIUM FALCON - DAY
BB-8 EXTENDS MAGNETIC CABLES to brace himself in a corridor.
(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:
Finn continues to fire at the TIE fighters, narrowly missing
them.
FINN
Damn it!
Rey maneuvers the ship deeper into the graveyard.
INT. MILLENNIUM FALCON - GUNNER POSITION - DAY
Finn SWOOPS into frame, FIRES --
FINN
Come on... come on...
-- HITS AND SHATTERS the TIE FIGHTER!
REY
Nice shot!
FINN
I'm getting pretty good at this!
EXT. DESERT - SPACESHIP GRAVEYARD - DAY
The TIE FIGHTER CRASHES amid the DEBRIS, THREE SCAVENGERS
instantly there to consume the new bounty.
The Falcon, pursued by the ONE REMAINING TIE FIGHTER, slaloms
through the MASSIVE WRECKAGE, GRAZING THE OLD SHIPS as she
goes, pieces flying.
The TIE FIGHTER FIRES -- HITTING THE FALCON'S LOWER TURRET,
SPINNING IT, JAMMING IT INTO FORWARD POSITION!
INT. MILLENNIUM FALCON - GUNNER POSITION - DAY
ALARMS BLARE --
FINN
The cannon's stuck in forward
position, I can't move it! You gotta
lose 'em!
INT. MILLENNIUM FALCON - COCKPIT - DAY
The ship is HIT AGAIN -- afraid, Rey's mind races as she
scans the area -- and gets an idea.
REY
Get ready!
FINN
Okay! For what?
EXT. DESERT - SPACESHIP GRAVEYARD - DAY
Rey pilots the ship up AND INTO THE REAR OF A CRASHED SUPER
STAR DESTROYER! The final TIE FIGHTER FOLLOWS!

INT. MILLENNIUM FALCON - DAY
Finn peers out the window, realizing where they are:
FINN
ARE WE REALLY DOING THIS?!
INT. WRECKED SUPER STAR DESTROYER - DAY
The two ships slalom debris inside the giant ship -- the
Falcon GRAZING ONE SIDE, THEN THE OTHER, SPITTING SPARKS!
INT. MILLENNIUM FALCON - DAY
Rey, scared, girds herself as she quickly runs out of space
in the wreck.
REY
Oh no!
Just as the TIE PILOT GETS A LOCK,
Rey YANKS THE YOKE --
EXT. DESERT - SPACESHIP GRAVEYARD - DAY
The Falcon makes a HARD RIGHT TURN out of the Destroyer.
Rey then CUTS POWER AND FLIPS THE SHIP SO BACK FACES FRONT!
FINN CAN NOW SEE THE PURSUING TIE FIGHTER! He FIRES,
DESTROYING IT!
REY GUNS THE ENGINES again, FLIPS THE FALCON and FLIES AWAY
as the TIE FIGHTER CRASHES!
FINN
Whooo!
The Falcon ROARS OFF, victorious, leaving the ship graveyard
and disappearing into the clouds.
EXT. SPACE - DAY
The Falcon ROARS from Jakku off to space.
INT. MILLENNIUM FALCON - COCKPIT - DAY
Rey excitedly unbuckles her seatbelt and hurries back.
INT. MILLENNIUM FALCON - CORRIDOR - DAY
Rey races past BB-8, who is RETRACTING his safety restraints.
Finn, adrenalized, climbs from the turret, meets Rey in the
corridor, the LOUNGE in the b.g..

CONTINUED:
FINN
Now that was some
flying! How did you
do that?! No one
trained you? No one?
That was amazing!
(beat)
You set me up for it!
(cocky)
That was pretty good.
REY
Good shooting! Thanks! I--
I don't know! -- I've
flown some ships but I've
never left the planet!
Your last shot was dead
on. You got him with one
blast!
(laughs)
It was perfect!
They're just staring at each other now, seeing something odd
and weird and wonderful -- two people totally inexperienced
in joy and camaraderie.
Bb-8 BEEPS something urgent -- she turns to the droid, kneels.
REY (CONT'D)
You're ok. He's with the Resistance.
He's going to get you home. We both
will.
(to Finn)
I don't know your name.
FINN
Finn. What's yours.
REY
I'm Rey.
BB-8 looks at him: really? Finn is reminded: HE'S LIED TO
HER. She looks at Finn with a sweet smile.
FINN
Rey...
But before Finn can say anything they JUMP: across the lounge,
STEAM BURSTS from under the grating.
REY
Help me with this! Quick!
They hurry to the grating, PULL IT UP together. BB-8 rolls
over, watches.
FINN
Whoa! What's going on?
She goes below as BB-8 BEEPS concern.
EXT. SPACE - DAY
The First Order Star Destroyer above Jakku.
INT. STAR DESTROYER BRIDGE - DAY
Lieutenant Mitaka moves to Ren, who looks out across the
star field. Mitaka swallows, uneasy with his task.
(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:
LIEUTENANT MITAKA
Sir. We were unable to acquire the
droid on Jakku.
Ren turns to look at him, he says nothing.
LIEUTENANT MITAKA (CONT'D)
It escaped capture aboard a stolen
Corellian YT model freighter.
KYLO REN
The droid... stole a freighter?
LIEUTENANT MITAKA
Not exactly, sir. It had help.
Ren says nothing. Which says everything. Mitaka sweats.
LIEUTENANT MITAKA (CONT'D)
We have no confirmation, but we
believe FN-2187 may have been helped
in the escape--
Ren IGNITES HIS LIGHTSABER, TURNS AND SLASHES AT THE CONSOLE
BEHIND HIM! HOLD ON Mitaka, who reacts, looks away -- winces.
The horrible SOUNDS of Ren's rage continues. Finally Mitaka
looks up. The metallic wall behind Ren is RIPPED with glowing
scars.
KYLO REN
Anything else?
Mitaka hates to say the following, but:
LIEUTENANT MITAKA
The two were accompanied by a girl.
Ren reaches out -- Mitaka is suddenly, violently PULLED TOWARD
REN, into his black glove:
KYLO REN
What girl?
INT. MILLENNIUM FALCON - LOUNGE AREA - DAY
Rey's head POPS up from under the grating, surrounded by
STEAM. An EMERGENCY ALARM BLARES.
REY
It's the motivator! Grab me a Harris
wrench -- check in there!
As he checks a storage box, she disappears down below,
overwhelmed by the technical issues --
FINN
How bad is it?!
(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:
REY
If we wanna live, not good!
BB-8 watches as Finn searches A SELECTION OF TOOLS:
FINN
They're hunting for us now, we gotta
get outta this system!
Rey re-emerges, Finn hands her the wrench.
REY
BB-8 said the location of the
Resistance Base is "need to know" --
if I'm taking you there, I need to
know!
FINN
(Throws a tool)
This?
She catches it and goes under again, leaving Finn and BB-8
alone. He contemplates telling her the truth. This is his
moment. But instead he knees to BB-8, says quietly, urgently:
FINN (CONT'D)
You gotta tell us where the base is.
(BB-8 BEEPS)
I don't speak that. Alright, between
us, I'm not with the Resistance,
okay?
(BB-8 backs up)
-- I'm just trying to get away from
the First Order -- but you tell us
where your base is, I'll get there
first -- deal?!
(BB-8 COCKS his head)
Droid, please.
Rey pops up again:
REY
Pilex driver, hurry!
Finn moves for the tool.
REY (CONT'D)
So where's your base?
FINN
(searching, to BB-8)
Go on BB-8, tell her.
(quietly)
Please!
She and Finn look to BB-8 -- who considers the whole
situation, then BEEPS.
(CONTINUED)

:eyes:

CONTINUED:
REY
The Ileenium system?
Finn hands her the tool, surprised but thrilled -- Rey
disappears below again.
FINN
Yeah, the Ileenium system, that's
the one -- get us there as fast as
you can.
A smiling Finn gives BB-8 a THUMBS UP. BB-8 quickly extends
his WELDING TORCH and TURNS IT UPWARD, then retracts it.
REY
I'll drop you two at Ponemah Terminal.
I need the bonding tape, hurry!
FINN
(searching for tape)
What about you?
REY
I gotta get back to Jakku!
FINN
(loses his mind)
BACK TO JAK--?! Why does everyone
always wanna go back to Jakku?! !
REY
No, that one! No. No. The one I'm
pointing to! No. NO. NO. If we
don't patch it up, the propulsion
tank will overflow and flood the
ship with poisonous gas!
Bb-8 has moved to Finn -- TIPS HIS HEAD, shows him the tool.
He throws her the tape, she disappears below:
FINN
This?
REY
Yes!
FINN
Hey. Rey. You're a pilot -- you
can fly anywhere! Why go back?!
You got a family? You got a
boyfriend? Cute boyfriend?
The STEAM and ALARM STOP as Rey pops up, annoyed:
REY
None of your business, THAT'S WHY!
But then: ALL THE SHIP POWER GOES OUT. BB-8 is nervous.
(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:
FINN
... That can't be good.
REY
(heads off)
-- No it can't be --
FINN FOLLOWS REY TO:
INT. MILLENNIUM FALCON - COCKPIT - DAY
They plop into the seats, in a panic. She checks the dead
instrumentation panel:
REY
Someone's locked onto us -- all
controls are overridden.
Finn quickly, awkwardly climbs up, looks out.
REY (CONT'D)
Get off. Get off! See anything?
FINN
... Oh no.
EXT. SPACE - DAY
The Millennium Falcon, powerless, is a sitting duck.
SOMETHING EPIC appears from ABOVE: THE ANTENNA ARRAY IS THE
FIRST WE SEE OF A MASSIVE FREIGHTER, ITS GIANT HANGAR OPEN
LIKE A HUGE MOUTH WHICH SWALLOWS THE FALCON LIKE A WHALE!
INT. MILLENNIUM FALCON - COCKPIT - DAY
Finn PLOPS into his seat, horrified.
FINN
It's the First Order.
REY
What do we do-- there must be
something --
Finn's mind races -- then:
FINN
You said poisonous gas --
REY
-- Yeah, but I fixed that --
FINN
Can you unfix it?
Rey stares at him -- and gets his plan! They head off --
INT. MILLENNIUM FALCON - LOUNGE AREA - DAY
The GAS MASKS hanging in the lounge are GRABBED.
