Hancock is very upset as he walks into a liquor store and grabs two bottles of whiskey and heads back to the front of the store. On a television set in the corner of the store, a news story reveals that Red and a bunch of prisoners broke out of the prison and have been rounding up graduate students from various fields (obviously trying to find a weakness in Hancock). Hancock brings the liquor to the cashier who then tells him that his total is $91.11. Hancock says that that is a ridiculous unfair price. Then we see that behind the counter there are two guys holding the clerk at gunpoint. The clerk leans forward and covers the last 1 on the price to reveal $91.1 (or 911). Hancock looks at him in realization and the clerk indicates with his eyes that they are on the ground next to him. Hancock sighs and leans down and punches through the barrier and pulls out one of the guys and throws him against the back wall. The second guy stands up and holds the clerk hostage. Hancock then has a revelation as he says to the guy “You’re going to take it just because you can, but does that make it okay to take it?”  Hancock reaches behind himself and picks up a candy bar, and asks the guy who he thinks will win between his candy bar and his gun. The guy then shoots at Hancock twice and Hancock throws the candy bar at him which takes him out and knocks him out through the front window. Hancock smiles at the clerk and says that he’s sorry about his window. The clerk doesn’t say anything and just looks at Hancock in shock. Hancock frowns and you see two blood spots forming around his midsection where he was shot. He places his hand to the holes and it comes back covered in blood. Hancock looks up in shock and then collapses to the ground.

Cut to the hospital where Hancock is being rushed into the emergency room by many doctors. They are about to put a needle in his arm, and he groggily tells them that it wont work but surprisingly the needle goes right into his skin. We see the new story on TV wondering how Hancock could have been hurt, and we see Ray and Aaron watching it on TV at home. Hancock is lying in stable condition on the bed, when he looks up to see Mary walk in and sit next to him on his bed. He asks her what is going on, and she tells him that he’s becoming mortal the longer they are close together. That’s the catch and that’s what happened to the others, they paired off, became mortal and eventually died. She tells him that eventually he will lose all his powers and be completely mortal if he doesn’t go away from her. Hancock says that he doesn’t want to go away. Admist tears she reaches for his shoulder and exposes a scar, and tells him “Summer of 3 BC, they had swords, they tried to get me, but you saved me”. She then reaches for his left arm and exposes another scar, “1850 our house was on fire, you came in and pulled me out”. Hancock asks groggily “80 years ago?” She responds “We were in Miami going to see a movie, Frankenstein, when we were mugged, you tried to protect me, and they hit you, I’ve never seen anyone hit that hard before, there was so much blood. When I came to get you in the hospital you didn’t know who I was, so I left so that you could live”. She then tells Hancock that although they are the same, he was different than the others, he is the “insurance policy of the Gods”, it is his job to be a hero and to protect humanity. At this point Ray and Aaron come in and see them together and they wait outside for her.

At this point Red and his two cohorts come out of the elevator and proceed to shoot Mary in the chest with a shotgun blast and she falls to the ground (she is becoming mortal too). Hancock desperately pulls himself out of the bed to shield her from any more shots and he gets shot twice more. The doctors come in and pull Mary up onto a bed and begin working on her. Hancock then proceeds to throw one of the guys out the window and to his probable death. As he does this the larger guy comes from behind him and stabs him in the back with a large curved blade. Hancock screams in pain and pulls it out, and then turns around only to be beaten severely with an oxygen tank the guy is holding. Every time Hancock gets hit or hurt at this point, Mary shrieks out in pain and clutches the area where Hancock was hit on her body (further playing on their connection). The oxygen tank eventually explodes and causes a fireball that sends Hancock flying through a wall and landing on the floor next to the broken open window. The fire sets off the sprinkler system, covering everyone in water, and giving a nice rain effect for the final encounter. Hancock gains enough strength to throw the second guy out the window, but is then shot three more times by Red and he collapses. Hancock crawls on all fours near death towards Red, as he belittles and insults him, saying that he’s done. Just as Red is about to shoot Hancock in the head and finish him off, Ray appears and in a moment of comic relief cuts off Red’s other hand, just before hitting him right in the chest with the axe and knocking him to the ground.  Hancock thanks Ray and tries to keep up his strength but his eyes close as Mary’s heart flatlines. The doctors rush over to Hancock and try to get his eyes to respond to light to see if he is still alive. They begin to shock Mary, but her heart isn’t beating. There is about a minute of focus on both of their dead faces, and then suddenly Hancock’s eyes open again. He looks over at Mary’s now lifeless body and begins to move away from her, crawling away and falling out the window. Hancock lands in the middle of the street and desperately pulls himself to his feet. He tries to fly away but gets only a few feet off the ground before coming back down, he tries again and again, continuing to fail but getting a little higher each time. Then Mary’s heart beat monitor beeps, and the beep gets stronger the further Hancock gets away. Finally Hancock yells out and jumps into the sky, rocketing towards the moon and out of sight. Mary’s eyes open and she gasps for air and the screen goes dark.

One Month Later

You see Ray and Mary walking with Aaron at a carnival in LA, while Ray is finally learning about his wife’s true nature (apparently Attila the Hun was cross-eyed and she didn’t sleep with JFK because she was in Cuba at the time). At this point Ray’s cell phone rings and he moves to get it. Then we see the other end of the phone call, and its Hancock, sitting on the edge of a building in New York City with a large golden eagle sitting next to him, wearing his suit and with a Bluetooth wireless in his ear talking to Ray. Ray is happy he called and that everything is going well and that Mary is okay, etc. Hancock then tells Ray to look up in the sky. Ray looks up and at first doesn’t see anything then he notices the full moon…with his red All-Heart logo emblazoned across it. Hancock tells him that he knew he was going to change the world. Ray tears up and says thank you, as Hancock says he has to go but he’ll keep in touch. He hangs up the phone, looks out on the city, and the eagle next to him flies away. Hancock falls off the building and spends a moment in free fall before rocketing out above the city streets…fade to black.

Mid-After Credits Scene…

You see a mugger holding a girl hostage at gunpoint while surrounded by police cars on the streets of New York. Hancock lands next to him and tries to negotiate with him, while the mugger makes references to his costume (Wolverine wannabe, etc.). Hancock seems to be making progress with the guy until he calls him an ‘A**hole’. Hancock freezes and you see that twitch in his eye as he turns to him and says “Call me an A**hole one more time”…end.
