“ | All right, listen up. I know you've all been through hell. I wish I could say our troubles are over... but we're not through this yet. WCKD's still out there. They're not giving up. 'Cause you got something they want. They took you because you're immune to a plague that's wiping out the human race... and they think you're worth sacrificing to find a cure. Well, I don't. So in two days, when we get this tub of rust seaworthy, we're getting the hell outta here. We're gonna go to a place where WCKD will never find you. A place you can start over. A place you can call home. | „ |

Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials[]
In the Scorch Trials film, Vince is first seen when Group A is taken to the Right Arm by Sonya and Harriet. When he discovers Brenda's injured leg (Crank-bite), he attempts to shoot her in order to put her out of her misery, but is stopped by Thomas and Jorge. Mary Cooper, a former WCKD scientist, reveals that Thomas was their informant. As Mary halts Brenda's infection using an enzyme cure, Mary explains that the enzyme can only be harvested from an Immune's body, not manufactured, and that arguments over the methods of manufacturing the cure with Ava lead to Mary's departure from WCKD. That evening, Teresa calls WCKD to her location, believing that WCKD's motivations are good, leading to an ambush by WCKD. Ava and Janson arrive and confront the Right Arm before WCKD troops captures survivors for experimentation, including Minho, Aris, and Sonya, while Janson shoots Mary in the stomach. After Thomas and the Right Arm fend off the WCKD troops, Ava, Janson, and Teresa retreat with their captured survivors. With only a fraction of survivors left at the site, Thomas plans an infiltration into WCKD and is determined to take them down to save his friends and save civilization, Thomas threatens to kill Ava Paige and Janson as his friends and the Right Arm agree to help and prepare to fight back.

Three nights later, Jorge returns to the Right Arm's hideout to pick up Vince. They take a berg and fly to the building to pick up Frypan, Brenda, and the Immune children.
Vince is waiting at the berg along with Frypan, Brenda, Jorge, and the Immune children when they hear Teresa telling Thomas that his blood can cure Newt like it did Brenda. Minho and Gally arrive, asking where the serum is. Vince stays in the berg along with Jorge and the Immune children while Minho, Gally, Frypan, and Brenda run to the train station.
Minho, Gally, Frypan, and Brenda return to the berg where Jorge flies them, Vince, and the Immune children to the top of the WCKD tower where Thomas and Teresa are. Thomas is unable to get on the berg due to being shot in the stomach by Janson, but Teresa manages to throw him onto the ramp of the berg, allowing Vince, Minho, Gally, Frypan, and Brenda to pull him onboard. Teresa falls to her death when the WCKD tower collapses. As Jorge flies Vince, Thomas, Minho, Gally, Frypan, Brenda, and the Immune children away from the tower, Vince helps Gally bandage Thomas' wound along with Minho, Frypan, and Brenda.
Sometime later, Vince, along with Thomas, Minho, Gally, Frypan, Brenda, Jorge, Aris, Sonya, Harriet, the Right Arm, and the Immune children, arrive at the Safe Haven. Vince is picking corn with Sonya when they both see Thomas, who has woken up, approaching them. Vince watches on as Thomas and Minho hug. At night, at the campfire, Vince gives Thomas, Minho, Gally, Frypan, Brenda, Jorge, Aris, Sonya, Harriet, the Right Arm, and the Immune children a speech.
Vince puts a log down on the campfire. Vince goes to the memorial rock and engraves Mary's name on it. Vince is sitting with Minho, Gally, Frypan, Brenda, Jorge, Aris, Sonya, Harriet, the Right Arm, and the Immune children at the campfire when Thomas approaches them and sits down with them. The next day, Vince watches Thomas engrave Teresa's name on the memorial rock. Thomas walks along the beach, stops walking, looks at the ocean and the ship, takes out the serum, looks at it, and looks out into the distance.
