Hunter's Prayer Page #4

( cell phone rings )

Richard:

You disappointed me Lucas.

I know you're there.

I just wanted to tell you

we got the girl.

She's been taken care of.

I guess all your trouble

was for nothing.

You're on the run

by now, I expect.

I don't suppose

I'll find you.

Not that

it really matters.

You're not worth it.

You and I are done.

You no longer exist.

( classical music playing )

( chatter )

And thanks to the generosity

of Mr. Addison,

this will be our most

successful year of fundraising.

That's so wonderful.

Thank you.

-Time for bed.

-Yes, sir.

Good night, William.

Metzger's behind me.

I'm so sorry,

excuse me.

I'd love

to show you around.

I'm very sorry to interrupt.

Mr. Addison, a call for you.

-Excuse me.

-Oh, of course.

-Hmm?

-Banks:
We have

a problem, Richard.

We're downstairs

with the girl.

I thought she was dead.

She won't give up

the account information.

Banks, she's stalling.

She's just trying

to stay alive.

Wait there. I'm going to deal

with this myself.

Open the gate.

( gate clangs )

Man:

I don't know.

I think it was

maybe some fireworks.

What do you think?

Firecrackers.

-Find Agatha.

-Sir.

No one's answering

at the gate

and I cannot reach

anyone in security.

( girl's laugh echoes )

Lucas.

Stop.

-Why are you doing this?

-This is who I am, right?

This is madness.

Because of this girl?

You'll wake up tomorrow morning,

you won't remember her name,

her face,

just like the others.

Her name was Ella.

She's alive.

I thought she was dead,

but she's alive.

They have her

in the basement.

Richard:

It's me.

It's okay.

Everybody just stay calm.

Nobody moves.

Don't do anything

stupid, Banks.

Stay back.

Take off her gag.

Tell him!

Do it.

Metzger, take it off.

-( yelps )

-Ella, you listen to me.

You're gonna get

out of here.

Then I'm gonna

kill them all.

Well, now,

let's be sensible.

We all have

a common interest here.

We all want

to stay alive.

Come on.

Okay.

Stay calm.

Stay calm.

Nice and slow.

Now untie her.

( screaming )

William!

Agh!

( all screaming )

( all screaming )

Quick, move!

( gasping )

-( barking )

-( screams )

( dog barks )

-Come here!

-( screams )

You little b*tch.

Huh?

Huh?

( screams )

Same gun I used

to kill your father.

( both grunting )

( gunshot )

( panting )

Too many f***-ups,

the both of you.

Such a shame.

You were two

of my better employees.

Point.

Shoot.

( chuckles )

( gunshot )

-( sirens wailing )

-( chatter )

Ella. Ella.

Ella, stay with me.

Ella?

Why did you save me?

Maybe you are

a good person.

Excuse me.

-What have we got?

-Gunshot wound right shoulder.

Get her blood pressure,

I'll get the bandage.

Relax, now.

It's all right.

You're going to be okay.

Let's get her

in the van.

Ready?

Got it?

Man:
Everybody's gathering

on the steps of the terrace.

( phone ringing )

Ella:

Hello?

Lucas:

Hi.

Ella, we're going

to be out there.

Lucas:

Who's that?

Sorry, I'm living

with my aunt.

Is that okay?

Uh, yeah, she's nice.

I don't really

know her that well.

And my cousins,

they're--

they're treating me,

I don't know...

like I'm normal.

Well, that's good.

Well, I just wanted

to check in

and see

that you're doing okay.

Lucas...

did you ever go see

your daughter?

I called her.

So I'm going

to see her soon.

That's good.

Bye, Ella.

Bye, Lucas.

( children laughing )

( sighs )
