ARLO:

(chuckles) (panting) All right. Hey.

MASON:

(off) (grunts - continues under following

scene and dialogue)

ARLO:

(grunts)

MASON:

(face off) (groans - continues under

following scene)

MASON:

(laughs - continues under following

dialogue)

ARLO:

Whoo-hoo-hoo!

MASON & ARLO

(in unison) Whoo-hoo! (continues under

following scene)

ARLO:

Are you crazy?! Take the boat?!

SCENE:

EXT. ROAD - DAY.

CARL:

(grunts) (panting) There's nothing in

here, sir. They got away with it.

BRYNNER:

All right. Let's clear the mess and move

out.

CARL:

(sighs)

CHARACTER:

FOOTAGEDIALOGUE:

SCENE:

EXT. ROWBOAT - DAY.

ARLO:

Uh-oh.

MASON:

What?

ARLO:

This thing just went up a degree. Ice

cream's not workin'.

MASON:

This river's fed by a glacier. Willing

to bet my life that it's a good deal

under fifty degrees.

ARLO:

Okay.

ARLO:

Worth a try.

MASON:

(sighs - continues under following scene)

ARLO:

Hey, you didn't happen to lock the truck

up when you got out...

ARLO:

(off) ...did you?

MASON:

You're f***ed, man.

ARLO:

See, now why would you do that to a man

in my posi-...

ARLO:

(off) ...-tion?

MASON:

Hey, I didn't steal the truck. You...

MASON:

(face off) ...stole the truck.

ARLO:

(overlapping) Hey, I told you I did not

steal that truck. Andy owes me a lot

more than that four-wheeled...

ARLO:

(off) ...piece of sh*t was worth.

MASON:

It won't even start half the time.

ARLO:

(off) You know what I'm sayin'?

ARLO:

I deserve a lot more than that truck!

Ten years, ten years I busted my ass for

that fat rat bastard.

ARLO:

(off) And he swore, he swore once I got a

degree...

ARLO:

...there'd be a sales rep desk with my

name on it. But every time something

opened up, there'd be some idiot

cousin...

ARLO:

(off) ...or nephew or some good old

boy...

ARLO:

...just ready to just slide him right in

there. And what about me, huh? What

about Arlo, huh? What about my needs?

You know, I got a-I got student loans...

ARLO:

(off) ...overdrawn bank accounts.

ARLO:

Nobody's lookin' out for my interests.

(grunts) My credit was f***ed! And then

when he promoted Sam over me, I just

snapped. So I split.

MASON:

So you took his...

MASON:

(off) ...truck.

ARLO:

So I took his truck, yeah.

MASON:

(off) (overlapping) Yeah.

ARLO:

You know.

SCENE:

EXT. ROAD - DAY.

BRYNNER:

(face off) This river ends at a hydro

dam...

BRYNNER:

...in Missoula. All we need to do is get

to Mason before anyone else does.

BRYNNER:

Carl, Dennis, get out of sight.

BRYNNER:

Officer Pappas, I'm glad you're here.

PAPPAS:

Mind if you tell me what's goin' on?

BRYNNER:

I'm Colonel Brynner, U.S. Special

Operations Com-...

BRYNNER:

...-mand out of Fort Bragg.

BRYNNER:

(off) We were called in by the Jerome

base...

BRYNNER:

...to pursue a man who's stolen

government proper-...

BRYNNER:

...-ty.

PAPPAS:

Right. Tim Mason.

BRYNNER:

You know the suspect?

PAPPAS:

Yeah, he's wanted in connection with a

death this morning at the Jerome...

PAPPAS:

...general store.

BRYNNER:

Richard Long.

PAPPAS:

That's right.

BRYNNER:

Long went missing from the Tech Center

this morning along with a very

dangerous...

BRYNNER:

...weapon. Deputy, I'd deeply appreciate

your assistance on this.

BRYNNER:

Who knows? It might even put some more

gold on that collar of yours.

SCENE:

EXT. ROWBOAT - DAY.

MASON:

You know, four years ago, I was a split

end at Kentucky State.

MASON:

(face off) We were nationally (off)

ranked.

ARLO:

How wonderful for you.

MASON:

Started every game my senior year. Not

all-American or anything, but not bad.

Anyway, the real star was my best friend,

the quarterback. Got taken in the first

round.

ARLO:

Robert Del Rio?

MASON:

Yeah, Robert Del Rio.

ARLO:

I remember him. Got in a car crash or

somethin'.

MASON:

We were celebrating right after the

draft, going from bar to bar. I was

drivin'.

MASON:

And I put the car into a ditch. He spent

eighteen weeks in the...

MASON:

(off) ...hospital.

MASON:

Never gonna throw a ball in the pros.

MASON:

(sighs) Couldn't deal with it. So I

split.

MASON:

(face off) And (off) things sort of just

went downhill from there.

MASON:

Anyway, about ten months ago, I wound up

in Jerome, workin' for Darlene.

ARLO:

Well, sh*t. Could be worse. I mean,

we're both up sh*t's creek, but at least

we have a paddle.

MASON:

We got two paddles.

ARLO:

(chuckles)

SCENE:

EXT. U.S. RESEARCH LABORATORY - DAY.

VITELLI:

Is the facility secure?

SERGEANT:

Yes, sir, colonel. There's four dead,

but the security video's clean.

VITELLI:

It's a patched-in feed. It's probably a

loop.

VITELLI:

(sighs) Deputy.

VITELLI:

Deputy, I'm Colonel Vitelli. I'm on

special as-...

VITELLI:

...-signment.

LEWIS:

Deputy Art Lewis, Jerome County Sheriff's

Department.

VITELLI:

(overlapping) Uh-huh.

LEWIS:

I don't suppose you'd like to tell me

what this is all about.

VITELLI:

I will tell you what I...

VITELLI:

...can, deputy.

BIG RANGER:

(overlapping) Colonel Vitelli. We got a

busted-in cold vault inside.

VITELLI:

Is it--?

BIG RANGER:

(off) Looks like it. Yes, sir.

VITELLI:

Alert seventy-fifth rangers. Code Blue.

Tell them Elvis has left the building.

LEWIS:

What the hell are you talkin' about...

LEWIS:

...colonel?

VITELLI:

Have you I.D.'d the bodies?

BIG RANGER:

They were all wearing hardware.

VITELLI:

Any of them Richard Long?

BIG RANGER:

No, sir.

LEWIS:

Well, I've got Dr. Long's body down at

the coroner's office.

LEWIS:

One of our units is pursuing a suspect up

the thirty-...

LEWIS:

...-five.

VITELLI:

Who's your suspect?

LEWIS:

A man named Tim Ma-...

LEWIS:

...-son.

VITELLI:

Run a check. FBI, Interpol.

BIG RANGER:

Yes, sir.

VITELLI:

If you're right, Lewis, this Mason is one

hell of a pro. He must have a service

record and a paper trail some-...

VITELLI:

...-where.

LEWIS:

Mason? (chuckling) No, he's a soda-jerk

drifter, a hamburger flipper.

VITELLI:

It could be a cover, I suppose.

VITELLI:

Whoever did this is a man who knows his

business.

SCENE:

EXT. ROWBOAT - DAY.

MASON:

Listen, Arlo...

MASON:

...for whatever it's worth, I'm sorry I

dragged you into this...

MASON:

(off) ...sh*t.

ARLO:

To tell you the truth, you didn't.

ARLO:

(off) Not completely, anyway.

ARLO:

I mean, if that gun was...

ARLO:

...loaded, I didn't buy you as a shoot-

...

ARLO:

(off) ...-er. It was your friend...

ARLO:

...Long. Somethin' about that look in

his eye when he talked about that

Elvis...

ARLO:

(off) ...sh*t.

MASON:

Well, all the same. If we get to

Missoula, help me find a car. I'd

appreciate it. Then...you can...

MASON:

(off) ...split.

ARLO:

Split? I wouldn't get ten...

ARLO:

(off) ...miles.

MASON:

(chuckles)

ARLO:

Like I said, I got a pretty good idea of

what's at stake here.

ARLO:

(off) We need to finish this, Night

Shift.

ARLO:

Hang on to your ass, Missoula!

ARLO:

Arlo's back...and he's bringin' the King.

SCENE:

EXT. RIVER - DAY.

MASON:

(off) (yells - continues under following

dialogue)

ARLO:

(off) That is loud! I'm (continues

indistinct)

MASON:

(off) (overlapping) Whoo!

ARLO:

(off) Yeah, baby!
