Sniper 3 Page #3

it'll be over in less than 10 hours.

From your lips to God's ear.

'Cause if it doesn't, we're all in deep sh*t.

- It's me.

- Thomas?

Yeah.

It's 4:
00 in the morning.

Is something wrong?

Sydney, I'm sorry, I...

You sound so distant. Where are you?

- About 30 years away.

- Thomas?

I'm sorry, Syd. I'm sorry for waking you.

Are you okay?

I'm okay. I just...

I've been thinking about...

how you and Neil are...

You're...

the closest thing I've ever had to a family.

And I know...

sometimes I...

Sometimes I forget

how much that's meant to me.

And I just wanted to...

make sure you knew.

We know, Thomas.

Are you sure you're okay?

Yeah. I'm okay.

Look, I gotta go.

I'll tell you what.

I'll give you a call in a few days,

after I get back.

- You promise?

- I promise. Yeah.

You know we love you.

I love you.

Me, too.

I can't go through with this!

He'll know!

He knows everything!

I'll make sure he knows we busted you.

He'll never trust you again.

Nobody is to know about this.

Except you and me.

What the f*** is it?

Doesn't matter.

Just put this on the Cobra.

This is crazy!

I'm a dead man if I do this.

You're a dead man if you don't.

Any sign of Tran yet?

No. Not yet...

Let me know as soon as you do.

They're here.

Got him.

What the f*** are you looking at?

Where the hell is he?

Where the f*** you been?

He's like a f***in' turtle...

F*** you.

You're late. We were about to leave.

They're inside. Make your way to the roof.

He's here.

Bring 'em in.

The Cobra's here. In the back, in the booths.

If you don't need me anymore

I'm going to split.

- What's your hurry?

- I just thought I'd party, you know...

You're asking me to kill

the man who saved my life.

What the hell's he doing here?

A lot of young men didn't come back.

What's the matter?

You don't look so good...

I'm fine...

Who's going to get me a drink here, girls...

Goddamn piece of sh*t.

What's going on?

Do it.

Sh*t.

How are we going to make

the deal work for both...

- What did you do?

- Nothing

What did you do?

Nothin'... I swear...

Now!

Forgive me.

Damn.

Got you, f***er.

You're not that good a f***ing shot,

but you might get lucky.

What the hell happened?

- Beckett missed the target.

- But he took out our goddamn backup?

We're f***ed, truly f***ed.

- Where is he now?

- The Vietnamese police have him.

It should be easy for our man

to get to him, right?

- Our contact is not trained for that.

- Then get someone who is.

I should be the one to talk to him!

Let Khan Choi handle it.

He's a bit more persuasive when it

comes to things like this...

Talk to me.

I told you, my name is Beckett.

Thomas J. Beckett.

And what are you doing here,

Thomas J. Beckett?

Soaking up Asian culture.

The man you killed on the roof,

he was Cambodian national.

Maybe you two got something to do

with what happened at Club Cong tonight.

Club Cong?

Look, I want to speak

to the American Consul.

Sure. You bet.

The National Police

have taken over the case.

You should have thought of that...

when you changed the plan and forgot

to tell me about the secondary hit.

I'll see what I can do.

Weird f***ing world, ain't it, Tommy?

Finnegan?

F***ing weird.

After all these years, they send

my old hump buddy Beckett to do the job.

That was Avery's idea, wasn't it?

What happened?

You could always make

the million-to-one shot.

Losing your touch, or change of heart?

F***ing Avery lied to you.

That's something

the two of us have in common.

Which lie?

The one about you dealing drugs?

Or running weapons?

Or the Jamaah Islamiyah?

They know about that?

Why, Finn?

What other choice does a dead man have?

I gave my life to serve God and country.

You're a dealer in death.

Whose God and country do you serve?

The last thing I need is a sermon

about death from an assassin.

I did the job they asked

and they sold me out.

Then why didn't you come home

when it ended?

This is my home. It was always my home.

I knew it the second we hit that LZ

in Tay Ninh.

After that first night,

I knew I wasn't going back, Tommy.

I was alive here!

Even in all the death, I was alive!

Nothing ever made me feel like that

back there. Nothing and no one.

Some people are born for war.

This isn't war, Finn.

This is madness.

What about Syd and Neil?

You know, your son just got married.

I delivered your note as promised.

They don't exist.

They haven't existed for over 30 years.

It was better that way.

For everyone.

Someone tried to kill me

after I took the shot.

You're in it now.

You should have quit when you were ahead.

In what?

I can bury them, Tommy,

that's what they're afraid of.

You're not the first one to come gunning.

They've been trying for years.

That's why I stay in the ditch.

Sorry you got yourself into this.

But then, you always were an idealist.

That's what they counted on.

Neil's the one I feel sorry for.

He thinks he's the son of a war hero.

Every day, I watch this world

descend into hell.

I'm just trying to find myself

a nice comfortable seat with a good view.

Somebody blew up

the police station at Ho Chi Minh.

What?

Listen to me, you little f***,

and don't you say a word.

Meet me at the People's Unification Building

in two hours.

You come alone...

or I'll tell the Ho Chi Minh Police

who you really work for.

I didn't know what they were gonna do.

They never...

- It was a game both sides played.

- Look, I didn't know.

They never told me the hit on you

was part of the operation.

I swear.

What happened to Finnegan?

They don't know yet.

They're still identifying bodies.

I've spent years trying to forget this sh*t.

You really think

it was going to be that easy?

- You're going to get me out of here.

- And go where?

You're gonna get me

another rifle and a sidearm.

And go where?

If he's alive, he's in the ditch.

Hang on a sec, Senator.

We had some people in Phnom Penh.

They should be in Ho Chi Minh

in less than an hour.

The bad news is that our boy's gone AWOL.

- What do you mean, AWOL?

- He hasn't checked in.

What about Finnegan and Beckett?

They're still ID-ing bodies,

but neither of them are on the list so far.

I don't f***ing believe this.

I'm going to have to call you back.

No, it's under control.

If Beckett is still alive,

and he's gotten to our boy...

I know.

You and Finnegan were friends?

I mean, real good friends?

Yeah. He saved my ass once.

This must be hard then.

He's a bad guy.

- I know.

- How do you know he's up in Tay Ninh?

Not in. Under.

When I knew Finnegan, he was a tunnel rat.

Everybody knows about them,

and what they did.

Yeah, well, they did what they had to do.

Some say they like it.

You're not supposed to like it.

What the f*** do you know about war?

How can you be sure he's there?

Because when I was in the jail, he slipped.

He mentioned something about

"being in the ditch."

And that's what the rats called the tunnels.

Should we contact someone?
