The Hunted Page #3

Synopsis: In the green woods of Silver Falls, Oregon, Aaron Hallam, a trained assassin AWOL from the Special Forces, keeps his own brand of wildlife vigil. After Hallam brutally slew four deer hunters in the area, FBI Special Agent Abby Durrell turns to L.T. Bonham-- the one man who may be able to stop him. At first L.T. resists the mission. Snug in retirement, he's closed off to his past, the years he spent in the Special Forces training soldiers to become skilled killers. But when he realizes that these recent slaying is the work of a man he trained, he feels obligated to stop him. Accepting the assignment under the condition that he works alone, L.T. enters the woods, unarmed--plagued by memories of his best student and riddled with guilt for not responding to Aaron's tortured letters to him as he began to slip over the edge of sanity. Furious as he is with his former mentor for ignoring his pleas for help, Aaron knows that he and L.T. share a tragic bond that is unbreakable. And, even as the

Who is live outside

the tunnel to Forest Park.

Jeff?

Ken, we have just arrived

on the scene

of a terrible accident outside

the tunnel

in Forest Park.

This is some type of truck,

some type of van

that was transporting people.

We can tell you there are...

Arm... drop...

...recover.

Arm... drop... recover.

I will teach you

how to kill...

quickly, accurately,

efficiently.

It will become a reflex action.

You will learn how to enter

a combat zone

and evaporate into shadow.

You will learn how to survive...

or you will not.

Ready?

Arm... heart...

Ieg, leg... Iung.

Reverse your grip.

Bring your knife on the inside

of his arm here,

sever all the connective tissue,

pulling his finger

away from the trigger,

and at the same time, coming

around his left shoulder,

grab the strap, choke him.

Now come into his heart

through the top of his sternum

and bring him to the ground.

Very good.

Go.

Arm, throat, heart,

leg, leg, arm, lung.

Good. Good.

Into the thigh here,

slice through that thigh

and the femoral artery,

into this thigh

and that femoral artery.

You will notice that

this arm is in your way.

It cannot hurt you.

The only thing this arm

can do to hurt you

is block the lung puncture

you're about to do.

Push this arm over

in front of his face,

go into his lung.

Now, arm, neck, heart,

leg, leg, lung.

One, two, three,

four, five, six.

One... two... three...

power assist four...

five... six.

One, two, three, four,

five, six.

One, two, three,

four, five, six.

One, two, three, four,

five, six.

Make this cut

a good power assist.

You're looking

for his backbone.

Here we go.

Go.

There we go.

Once again.

"L.T....

"I don't think

I can do this anymore.

"The nightmares

are getting worse.

"I think I'm losing it, L.T.

"I need to talk to you.

"I don't know

"if you've been getting

my letters, L.T.

"I need to hear from you

or talk to you.

"You've been like a father

to me.

Please write."

Once you are able

to kill mentally,

the physical part will be easy.

The difficult part...

is learning how

to turn it off.

At this point,

all we know for sure

is that we have three

confirmed fatalities.

We don't know whether or not

there were any other passengers

inside this van

when it crashed.

Access is very limited.

We have no new information from

either the police or the FBl.

However, the van appears to be

a military-type vehicle,

possibly the type of vehicle

used to transport prisoners.

We'll try to get some

confirmation on that.

Once again,

information very sketchy.

Rescue crew's still

on the scene,

along with FBl agents

and technicians.

We're getting no comment from

the FBl agents on the scene.

What happened?

Hallam's loose.

Hello, Irene.

Oh, Aaron.

You scared me.

It's good to see you.

I'm not listening

to you no more, Aaron.

Everything you

told me was a lie.

I've never lied to you, Irene.

Where have you been

the last six months?

Doing stuff for the government.

That's a lie, Aaron,

that's a damn lie.

Get out of here.

I don't want to see you again.

Aaron?

Aaron, you're back!

Hey, Loretta.

Hey.

It's so good

to see you.

I missed you so much.

How's my big girl?

Where have you been?

Loretta, I need you

to start your homework.

Can I visit

with Aaron some more?

You can visit with him later.

Are you staying

for dinner, Aaron?

Go do your homework.

Don't think

you're just going to step

right back

into our lives, Aaron.

I understand, Irene.

I don't even know

what you do for a living.

Did you look in my locker?

How could I do that?

You have

four locks on the thing.

What track is that?

A squirrel.

That's right.

Where's the nex one?

Um...

Bring it down.

Where's the nex one?

I can't tell.

Hold it flat.

See? Every nine inches.

That's the gallop pattern.

Every nine inches.

Oh, yeah, I see.

What's this one?

That's a raccoon.

How come you never see any?

Well, they hide

to survive.

Men don't respect

animals anymore.

They run them down

or kill them

any chance they get.

I think that's sad.

That's only Kitty.

Here, Kitty.

No, you don't want

to bother him now.

Why?

He's hunting, too.

Does he know we're here?

Oh, he knows.

How?

He can sense it.

She's so happy to see you.

Sit down.

What's this?

You got to leave here.

You got to get out of Portland.

What are you

talking about?

You're in danger, Irene.

Why am I in danger?

You and Loretta.

And they'll come here

and burn this house down.

What are you talking about,

Aaron?

House of Leader--

We got visual.

Copy that.

Stand by for intercept.

All right, sweetie, you

wait for me after school.

I'm going to be there

to pick you up, okay?

All right.

Is everything okay, Mommy?

Everything's fine,

honey.

I love you.

I love you, too.

See you later, alligator.

Bye.

The Leader's approaching

intercept, 6:
.00.

Roger that. We got her.

Irene Kravitz?

Agent Durrell.

Is that your little girl?

Loretta, is it?

That's right.

We'd like to talk to you.

About what?

Oh, it's just routine, really,

but it'd be a lot easier

if we talked inside.

Uh, if you make us come

back with a warrant,

it won't be routine anymore.

Going somewhere, Mrs. Kravitz?

No, I'm just cleaning stuff up,

trying to get organized.

We're looking for a man

named Aaron Hallam.

Have you seen him?

Not for a few months.

But you know him.

This have to do with

his government work?

When's the last

time you saw him?

I don't remember.

A few months ago.

He... sort of took off.

That's the way he is.

Is he here, Irene?

What's this about?

What's Aaron done?

Please have a seat, Irene.

Nobody said he's done anything.

FBl wouldn't be here

if he hadn't done something.

When did you

and Aaron meet?

Eight months ago, maybe.

Stayed here a while,

then he just took off.

He tell you where

he was going?

Mrs. Kravitz, is he still here?

I said I ain't seen him

in months.

How many times

do I have to say that?

Excuse me, sir,

where are you going?

Irene, you wouldn't be

doing him any good

and you wouldn't be

doing your daughter any good--

What do you know

about my daughter?!

You want someone around

for her, I understand that,

but you have to look out

for her safety.

You have to ask yourself,

"Is this

the right kind of guy

to have around

your daughter?"

What has Aaron done?

We just want

to talk to him.

Did he kill somebody?

Come in.

You care about these

people here, Aaron?

You're going

to get them hurt.

You here to sweep me, L.T.?

You know I don't do that.

How do I know that?

They are coming for you.

They've been coming for me

for a long time, L.T.

You have to answer

for what you've done.

I have to live

with what I've done.

You can say

whatever you want.

I don't trust you, L.T.

If you cross this line,

you better be ready

to kill me.

Don't move.

Put your hands on your head

and get on the floor.

I said get on the floor, now.

Get down.

Get on
