Predator 2 Page #4

Synopsis: LAPD lieutenant Mike Harrigan (Danny Glover) and his cocky detective partner Jerry Lambert (Bill Paxton) soon realize that what seemed a bloody feud between voodoo high priest King Willie's (Calvin Lockhart) Jamaican gangs and Ramon Vega's (Corey Rand) Colombian drug gang is actually the work of a scary third party. Peter Keyes's (Gary Busey) federal team shields the crime scene even for the LAPD, but after forensics proves it must be an alien, who keeps making victims, the chase brings them all together.

continues his daily diet for murder.

Bodies strung out...

...bodies with the skins ripped off,

the hearts torn from the cadavers.

And just recently,

King Willie, the drug lord...

...the vicious drug lord found

in an alley just around the corner...

...with his head cut off and his

spinal column torn from the body.

A fitting demise

to the Prince of Powder.

First Danny, then King Willie.

And you were right there!

He's playing with you, Mike.

You've gotta be careful.

Yeah. We all gotta be careful.

What about Keyes?

- Anything there?

- Definitely something slippery about Keyes.

Seems there's a Peter J Keyes.

PhD physical sciences, Cornell.

Hot out of college

and into the Strategic Defense Institute.

Then two years later commissioned

as a captain in Air Force Intelligence.

Mike, this is a dead end.

We're way out of our league!

Look, I don't care who's involved.

This guy killed Danny and he's going to fall!

- What about the good doctor?

- I'm here, Lieutenant.

The federal authorities erased everything

from the computer file except for this:

...part of a chemical test

on a fragment ofwood from the penthouse.

And it contained traces...

...of cattle blood and heavy traces of steroids.

I believe whoever killed Detective Archuleta

had recently been in a slaughterhouse.

That's where I lost Keyes the first time!

Yeah. That's where we'll find him.

Take the metro.

I'll pick you up at Vernon station in an hour.

Just because you don't see Keyes's boys

doesn't mean they're not around.

I just want you to stay in the car. OK?

Your mom and I won't be very long.

You sit still. We'll be back in a few minutes.

All right?

- Come on, honey.

- Yes, darling.

- Which way was it?

- Down here.

Take that, you scum-sucking dog.

Want some candy?

Brian? Brian!

- You come here right this minute!

- Mommy, I saw a ghost.

Want some candy?

Want some candy?

Rest.

Want some candy?

Danny's necklace.

I hate the subway at rush hour.

It's hard enough to find a seat, and if you do,

someone's pissed in it or thrown up over it.

This damn heat is killing me, man.

Hey, it's me!

- I look great!

- Oh, shut up.

No autographs, Pop.

- Look. There's two seats right there.

- Don't touch me!

Hey! Get off!

This sh*t never ends.

- After you.

- A**hole!

- Excuse me. Police business.

- Get out of my way!

Hey, baby. Besame mucho. Come on!

You look like a sympathetic dude.

My, uh... partner here needs an operation.

But we're a little short of cash,

if you know what I mean?

No need for that.

Mm, money.

Get the hell away from me!

I know how to use this thing!

Don't make me use this thing!

Bet mine's bigger than yours!

I'll take that.

- Hold it. Police!

- We're in trouble now.

- Nobody move!

- Alto, polica, no se muevan!

Everybody take a deep breath,

loosen your sphincters.

We don't need any rush-hour Rambos there.

Tu tambin, motherfucking baby!

Drop it and sit down! Sintate!

What the hell is that?

Leona, you OK?

This is it! He's in the train!

Get these people out of here!

Jerry!

What's happening?

Get down! Get down!

Get out of the way!

Jerry!

Leona!

Leona, get 'em out! Go! Go!

Now!

Now!

Jerry!

Leona, do it!

Now!

Hey! Over here!

Yeah, that's right. Come and get it.

Come on! Move it! Move it!

Let's go! Vamos!

Yeah.

Move it!

Don't panic, just go! Go! Vamos!

Jesus Christ. What the f*** are you?

Wait!

Vamos! Vamos! Come on!

Keep walking! Come on, you too! Vmonos!

Come on, motherf***er!

Want some candy?

Let's dance!

Come on, get out of the way!

Get out of the way!

Come on, out! Out! Out!

Come on, move it!

That way! That way!

Towards the light! The light!

Come on! Get out!

Come on.

Vamos!

Oh, God.

Jerry.

God, not again.

OK, move your ass! Move out the way!

- Watch out! What's happening?

- It's a f***ing slaughter, Lieutenant.

Oh, God!

Hey, Jerry!

Oh, Leona! Leona!

Oh, please. Leona... oh.

- How's she doing?

- Deep shock, but she's alive.

I hear foetal heart sounds. She's pregnant.

Let's move. LA County. Stat!

Stand back.

On three. One, two, three. Load up.

Out of my way!

Move out the way! Move it! Move it!

Man!

Uh, wait a minute. Let me see.

- Where's Jerry?

- I don't know.

We found his badge.

Who got hit this time?

Five gang members...

...bunch of commuters.

Doesn't make sense.

They were all armed.

- What do you mean?

- It's the chief.

Wait here. Yeah?

- What the hell's going on down there?

- It's a damn nightmare. Civilians this time.

- Allkilled?

- Yeah. Justlike the others.

Damn!

Jerry!

Holy sh*t! What the hell is going on here?

Hey, guys, get the camera on!

Get the camera on this right now!

Get that goddamn thing on film!

What's going on?

Hey! Hey!

Hey, Harrigan!

More victims! More mutilations!

- F*** you!

- Pope!

Pope? Are you there, Pope?

Pope, what's going on?

Sir, the cop is back.

Goddamn.

Harrigan! Don't you show up

in the damnedest places.

Come here, Lieutenant.

I got something you might find interesting.

What is this?

How many times do I have to tell you?

You don't know what you're dealing with.

There's your killer. Wonderful, isn't it?

Pheromone signature left by his body.

Scent molecules.

Punch up three.

Ten years ago one of his kind eliminated an

elite Special Forces crew in Central America.

There were two survivors.

They indicated that, when trapped,

the creature activated a self-destruct device...

...that destroyed enough rainforest

to cover 300 city blocks.

Remarkable weaponry.

That's right, Lieutenant.

Other-world life forms.

A f***ing alien!

Iwo Jima, Cambodia, Beirut.

Drawn by heat and conflict.

He's on safari. Lions. The tigers. The bears.

Oh, my!

Trophies. That's the game, isn't it, Keyes?

You're the lion.

This is his jungle.

- So why can't we see him?

- Defensive adaptations are astounding.

It's somehow able to bend light.

Perfect camouflage.

- You admire the son of a b*tch.

- Not what he does.

For what he is.

For what he can give us.

A new era of scientific technology.

I've waited a lifetime for this,

and I'm not going to miss the chance.

We have something

on the pheromone scanners.

- Target one is on the roof.

- It's taken us two weeks to learn his patterns.

He comes here every two days to feed.

- Seems he has a taste for beef.

- I didn't think he was vegetarian.

Well, we've prepared a trap for this predator.

We are certain that this being

can see in only one spectrum of light -

...infrared.

- Infrared?

- He hunts by seeing our heat.

- Block the heat and he's blind.

These suits insulate body heat,

making the team invisible.

We've flooded the place

with radioactive dust...

...and installed powerful

ultraviolet lighting everywhere.

The dust adheres to his body,

making him visible.

Liquid nitrogen. You're not gonna kill him.

You're gonna freeze him.

- We have to capture him.

- He's moving.

Finally.

Grab a seat. Enjoy the show.

This is history.
