Hunter's Prayer Page #2

Now, let's go.

All of this equipment

will keep you well protected.

I really don't know

about this.

Richard:

The most important thing

for this test's success

is not to show fear.

Try to seem like

the aggressor.

( barking and snarling )

Fass!

( screaming )

( fabric tearing )

( screaming )

( bones cracking )

( phone line ringing )

( phone rings )

I've been expecting

your call.

How did you find them?

I make sure I always know

everything I can

about my employees.

Teresa's still

a good-looking woman.

Oh, and...

Jillian's swim team

won their final.

Congratulations.

I'm guessing Ella Hatto

reminded you of your daughter.

Why do you want her dead?

Her father betrayed me.

He had to be punished.

He stole a lot of money.

Your delay forced my hand.

I had to send

Metzger overseas

to pay Mr. Hatto

and his wife a visit.

Well, if that's true

and I do this...

aren't you just punishing

a dead man?

( sighs )

Lucas, do know how many people

are in my employ?

If I let one steal from me,

what are the rest to think?

The message

is not for Martin Hatto.

It is for them.

Lucas...

you have such potential,

such talent.

A fine weapon, Lucas.

You're a hunter.

That's what you are.

At the moment,

you're confused.

I expect your supply

is running low.

Must be difficult--

I'd say impossible--

to find a cocktail

of the quality

I supply you with

on the streets.

You don't know what

you're doing with this girl.

But one way or another,

this girl will die.

You have to know that.

Just say a prayer for her

and be done.

You left me in there?

( lock clicks )

Can I use the bathroom?

-Yeah.

-Okay.

( dial tone )

( line ringing )

Woman:

Hello?

Who's this?

I'm trying

to reach my dad.

Martin Hatto?

Yeah, it's his daughter, Ella.

Can you put him on?

I'm afraid I can't do that.

Ella, this is Special Agent

Gina Banks with the FBI.

-I work with Interpol.

-What?

You need to tell me

where you are.

I-I don't know.

Are you with a man

who calls himself Lucas?

Yeah.

Ella, listen to me

very carefully.

He's a professional assassin.

We believe he's been hired

to kill you.

Were going to trace

this number, Ella,

and we're going to get help

to you right away.

Ella...

are you there?

( knock on door )

Yeah, just a second.

Ella.

( whispers )

I have to go.

Please help me.

Ella.

Um...

I have to get to the car.

I, um...

I left something in the--

in the trunk of the...

Are you going to kill me?

Yes.

( screams )

No!

No.

( sniffles )

Please.

Please, you don't

have to do this.

You don't have to.

Please.

( crying )

Please.

( tires squeal )

No, no, no,

I'm not going to hurt you.

I'm not going

to hurt you.

Look, look.

Okay? It's not--

I'm not gonna

do anything to you.

All right?

Just...

( exhales )

Look, I was hired

to kill you,

but I'm not going

to do it 'cause--

I can't... do it.

I can't.

I need to call home.

I need to call my dad.

Let me speak to my dad.

Your father's dead.

I was meant to kill you first

as a message.

I couldn't bring myself

to do it.

I waited too long.

So they killed

your whole family.

Now they're gonna want

to kill us both.

( chatter over radio )

I didn't know

what you'd like.

You should eat something.

We're gonna be

on the run,

and you're gonna need

your strength.

All that stuff I said

about my dad...

I didn't mean it.

I know.

-( gunshots )

-( screams )

-( screams )

-Stay down!

Come on.

Stay down.

Stay low!

-Down!

-( screams )

( panting )

( both grunting )

( grunts )

-( gasps )

-( rifle c*cks )

( screams )

Ella, get in!

Come on, there could

be more of them.

Come on!

You-- you drive.

You drive.

Wha--?

( grunting )

Just keep your eyes

on the road.

Are-- are you a diabetic?

It helps me do

what I have to do.

-( horn honks )

-( screams )

( groans )

I'm sorry.

( train bell ringing )

( horn blaring )

Hey, Dani, it's me.

Yeah.

( woman speaking French

over PA )

( bell chimes )

( man speaking French

over PA )

( line rings )

( phone rings )

Hello?

Hello?

Who is this?

-Mom, who was that?

-It was no one.

Got a friend that's gonna

meet us on the train.

Her name's Dani.

She's fixed me up before.

( train bell ringing )

( speaks French )

Paris.

May I please see

your identification?

Merci.

Hers?

I left it on the hotel.

Right, Dad?

She left it in the hotel.

Okay, okay.

Bon voyage.

That was good.

( train approaching )

( classical music playing )

While obviously we can't

mention clients by name,

our firm has handled

sensitive issues

for many high-profile

individuals such as yourself.

I like to think of myself

as unique.

Of course, and at Ashland

Phillips & Hornick

you will be treated

as such.

Richard:

As you probably know,

my previous attorney

died unexpectedly.

Martin Hatto.

Mr. Hatto handled a number

of sensitive issues

involving my US interests.

At the time of his death,

Martin was having

his own legal difficulties

with the IRS.

This was very disappointing

to me.

Woman:
And you believe

he may have violated

attorney-client privilege?

I honestly don't know

if he was making an agreement

with your government,

turning over information

that could jeopardize

my operations.

Man:
Mr. Addison,

let's speak frankly.

The sale of narcotics generates

enormous amounts of cash.

One needs a secure way

to launder those revenues

in the US.

Martin Hatto got greedy

and stole from you.

We won't.

Woman:

How are your school lessons?

I got 90 on my algebra test.

Oh, I'm so proud

of you, William.

I did get one wrong.

And how's everything

at home?

Hey, you can talk to me,

you know?

Everything's fine.

I miss you so much.

I wish things

were different.

What have I told you

about your mother?

My mother's a whore.

( sighs )

-Lucas?

-Yeah.

Dani:

So that's her.

Lucas:
Yeah.

Okay.

Thanks for coming.

I wish that just once

you'd call me up

for dinner and a movie,

hmm?

( groans )

Slip in the shower?

Yeah, something like that.

They say you kidnapped her.

It's not like that.

It's all over the news.

Let's get started.

Hey.

Ella, this is Dani.

Maybe you should go for a walk

while she finishes up.

( chatter )

Johnny Walker,

s'il vous plat.

( speaks French )

All right if I join you?

How is he doing?

He'll be okay.

He's fairly indestructible.

May I ask you a question?

What are you doing

with him?

He's all I got.

Then you're

really f***ed up.

Is it a schoolgirl crush

or just looking for Daddy, hmm?

Sit.

I'm trying to help you.

If you think he cares

about you, you're wrong.

The only thing

he cares about is his fix.

Getting high,

that's all what he's about.

He's a junkie,

always was and always will be.

And I get it, there's a thrill

in trying to rescue a man.

I mean, it's so exciting

when you think

you have the power to awaken

something good inside him.

Believe me, I know,

but this is not the case.

Here is the sad truth

about Lucas.
