On Deadly Ground Page #3

- What is it, Liles?

- It's oil.

Thank God.

This is a new f***ing suit!

You see that insane woman?

Ruined a perfectly good suit.

I'm just appalled at these people.

They're animals.

They're not crazy about you either.

The hell with the goddamn Eskimos.

I make my deadline,

I'll be in the driver's seat.

You know, I did a little snooping around

the other day.

I went over to Aegis-1...

and checked out the latest

requisition file. I understand now...

why you're using

the substandard preventers.

If you wait for the next shipment,

you'll never make the deadline.

I gotta say, I'm a little ashamed of you.

I'd just like to ask you something.

How much is enough?

How much money is enough?

I've got to get out of these clothes.

I'll talk to you later. Okay, Forrest?

Stick around.

Goddamn it, there's been another accident.

A substation on the north slope.

I know we've had our disagreements...

but can you do

this one last thing for me?

I thought we were gonna have a little talk.

After this.

Can you help us out with this, Forrest?

You're the only one with the expertise.

All right, I'm gonna go check it out,

see what I need.

If you smell anything, get out of here.

Don't worry. We know what we're doing.

Your turn, Mr. MacGruder.

Ladies and gentlemen, please.

We now have evidence

that both the lnulat Cove spill...

and the explosion yesterday

at Substation 101...

were the result of sabotage.

We have tentatively identified

at least two of the conspirators...

as former Aegis employees who appear

to have died in the latest explosion:

Forrest Taft and Hugh Palmer.

I hope that this brings to an end...

these wanton acts of destruction...

as well as the crass attempts by

Mr. Ittok's Tribal Council to use them...

as a public-relations tool...

to derail the timely completion...

of the Aegis-1 refinery.

But you're talking about internal sabotage

by people in your own company.

Is this how you run Aegis Oil?

Use your sense, man.

Thank you. No more questions.

This is my father.

Tell him...

my name is Forrest.

And he's Silook.

Thank you...

for rescuing me.

He says it was nothing.

He thought you were a bear.

He still thinks you might be a bear.

He hasn't decided yet.

You tell him...

l'm a mouse...

hiding from the hawks...

in the house of a raven.

He says that's just what a bear would say.

He says you sound like a bear too.

There's no sign of him yet, sir.

I can assure you we've been over

every inch of ground up here.

Frankly, I don't see how

he could've survived that explosion.

Ifyour goddamn cleanup goons

haven't found his body...

then the son of a b*tch is alive.

Find him, goddamn it. Do not fail.

Yes, sir. We won't.

Goddamn, that was pleasant.

Mr. Jennings said to say hello to you

and he'd like us to keep looking.

Are you packed?

Excuse me?

You and l, we're going to Aegis-1.

Make sure we go on-line on time.

Yes, sir.

It's okay, boys, relax.

We're just going for a little ride.

Get these dogs off of me.

You f***ing dogs, get off of me.

Listen to me.

I didn't tell you the whole story,

I'm in trouble.

People are after me. If they come here,

you are in a lot of danger.

He says, if you're healthy enough to steal...

you're healthy enough

to make your journey.

There was a time there were no people

on the earth...

until the fifth day, a man burst forth...

from the sacred place, full-grown.

Looking up...

he sees a raven.

Raven stared intently at man...

and said, "Wait here."

When Raven returned...

he had made the birds, fish and animals.

Raven was worried man would destroy

all he had made to inhabit the earth.

So he formed Bear to be feared by man...

and to protect the land.

Now the outsiders have come.

They're not afraid of the bear.

They do not respect the land.

We must find a way to teach them respect.

That's why I did not let you leave.

Why me?

You fought Nanook the Bear.

You survived the cold of lmah the River.

Hear the gods sing.

I listen to what they say.

In you...

l have seen a great spirit.

Are you willing...

to discover the nature of that spirit?

You have died twice.

Now sleep, and be reborn.

You will fight your most difficult battle.

Then you will find your way back.

We're approaching the village now, sir.

We'll be setting down momentarily.

You the chief?

You the chief?

What about you? You the chief?

Seen this man?

Have you seen this man?

Spread out.

Sir!

Goddamn it!

Is there any other sign of him?

No, sir.

All right, where the f*** is he?

Don't touch my father.

You give this to me. This is mine!

You!

Son of a b*tch.

I will watch you die.

You saw. He attacked me!

He attacked me!

He says...

you're the spirit warrior.

The gods have already decided your fate.

Eagle and the bear are your spirit guides.

This special amulet will...

help guide you in and out

of the spirit world.

Tell him...

thank you...

and good-bye.

You didn't find Taft...

but you managed to kill

an unarmed Eskimo.

Well, I'm not an officer of the court, am l?

In front of a dozen witnesses.

Mr. Jennings...

that tribe completely misinterpreted

our presence there.

They panicked, attacked and forced us

to defend ourselves.

You stay here and start planning

additional security for Aegis-1.

We're running out of time.

What, you guys have had this all along?

For emergencies.

Turn around. I think you'll see

something down there.

Looks like they trashed this place

pretty good.

They've been here too?

There's a pair of pants over there.

Those boots, they should fit you.

I've still got my .45.

Good old Hugh.

Looks like they must have gone

on foot from here.

He's still one step ahead of us.

Come on, let's go back.

Let's try Hugh's cabin.

Put that pack down.

Come in here, look in here. Get me

all the shotgun shells you can, 12-gauge.

We'll load up the truck.

Looks like my friends are here to play.

Okay, get in there. Get in there.

Who the hell is this guy?

Just who the f*** is he?

You want to know who he is?

Try this:

Delve down into the deepest bowels

of your soul.

Try to imagine

the ultimate f***ing nightmare...

and that won't come close...

to this son of a b*tch

when he gets pissed.

Well, sir....

I think we got that one covered.

He seems pretty pissed.

Very pissed.

Then I suggest you try and stop him.

What about independent contractors?

I know of a group based

out of New Orleans.

Independent contractors?

You mean, mercenaries?

Spartech used mercenaries

in the Philippines, sir.

R.D.L. used them in Angola.

You're talking about Third World countries.

Alaska is a Third World country.

It's just one we happen to own.

Just stay put.

Mr. Jennings, I'm Stone.

Were you able to get the files I requested?

This guy's already committed

two acts of sabotage.

Mr. MacGruder will be going

along with you as liaison.

You'll be reporting to him...

he'll be reporting to me.

Understood?

Understood.
