Big Game Page #4

Synopsis: When Air Force One is shot down by terrorists leaving the President of the United States stranded in the wilderness, there is only one person around who can save him - a 13-year old boy called Oskari. In the forest on a hunting mission to prove his maturity to his kinsfolk, Oskari had been planning to track down a deer, but instead discovers the most powerful man on the planet in an escape pod. With the terrorists closing in to capture their own "Big Game" prize, the unlikely duo must team up to escape their hunters. As anxious Pentagon officials observe the action via satellite feed, it is up to the President and his new side-kick to prove themselves and survive the most extraordinary 24 hours of their lives.

Do you think they're gone?

What have we here?

Oskari! Oskari!

Mr. President,

please accept my apologies.

My mission

was to take you alive,

but now I have no choice

but to kill you.

Your mission?

You were going

to be held captive,

filmed, documenting every

moment of your imprisonment,

and after seven days

you would be martyred.

The images would horrify

the world,

and the world would know the

war on terror is not over.

What the hell

kind of terrorist are you?

If it's any consolation to you before you die,

Mr. President, I'm actually on your side.

And what does that mean?

That's a long story.

Some other time.

I'm done here.

Yes, you are.

Huh. Well, I know

how that feels.

Oh, God!

What's that?

That was a deer.

You little brat.

You gotta cock it...

We have to get out of here.

We can swim out.

I don't think so.

There is one other thing

we can try.

Come on.

She's gonna blow! Go now!

I said, go now!

Don't worry, President.

I got this.

Here we go.

Do you read me now?

Get out! Get out of the truck!

Move! I said, move!

Get out!

All right, clear the area! Let's go!

Come on, move! Go, go, go!

Move straight ahead! Move!

Do not look at me.

Weapons!

All weapons to the ground now!

- Hands behind your back.

- All right, this way.

Move! Get down!

Get down on your knees!

Nobody move!

SEAL team to base,

we're on the ground.

Looks like the entire lake's

been vaporized.

Copy that.

There is no way

they could've survived that.

Mr. Vice President, sir,

I'm sorry, but you have to be

formally sworn in.

Take the office of President

of the United States.

For my God and country,

I accept.

Hurry up!

Move in, over there!

Copy that. We're not coming

home until we find the President's body.

Or what's left of him anyway.

What the hell?

Sir, above, incoming.

Base, we have an unidentified

flying object closing fast,

you should have

a visual on this.

Streaming now, take a look.

Stay alert.

The object is on the ground.

I say again,

the object is on the ground.

Stay alert.

And I see movement.

I've got a young boy

with a bow and arrow.

Stay where you are.

You must be Tapio.

- Yes.

- I've heard a great deal about you.

I understand

you're a great hunter.

Just so you know, so is he.

You have an amazing son.

Bravest man I've ever met.

Good to see you,

Mr. President.

Are you all right?

Well,

considering I've been

betrayed today, hunted,

locked in a freezer,

ejected from the same plane twice,

yeah, I'm...

I'm doing quite well.

Thanks to this young man here.

I'm proud to serve under your command,

Mr. President.

SEAL team one reporting.

I've got eyes on the President

and he is secure.

I repeat, the President

is secure.

Well, that was

quite a screw-up.

Fifteen years I knew Hazar.

Best and most loyal agent I ever had,

and what did we achieve?

Instead of turning

the President into a martyr,

we turn him into a hero.

Not to mention, I lost my shot

at the Presidency.

I've got one question for you,

friend, one question only.

Can it get back to us?

Can it get back to us?

Well, Vice President,

Morris is dead,

Hazar is dead,

all his men are dead.

And you're dead.

So,

in answer to your question,

getting back to anyone?

I would say, no.

It's not getting back to anyone.
