The Hunted Page #4

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

the sidewalk!

That's a silver star.

That is a sketch that

I made for a knife.

It's addressed to you.

"L.T., those guys you trained

to come and kill me--

they're not soldiers,

they're robots."

We've got a positive ID at the

river-front construction site.

We're headed to that location,

over.

10-9 that location.

This is Agent in Charge

Van Zandt, Agent Moret.

This is site foreman,

Hank Hooker.

One of our guys saw

him pull up over here

near that tunnel

entrance there.

How many men

work down there?

Maybe three dozen.

They're all coming up now.

Wait, we need an exact count.

I need a set of blueprints,

all right?

All right, this is an overview

of the site.

There's four major sections

down there.

He probably went down here

in the red section,

that's tunnels eight through 12.

How far does this

whole thing exend?

About 12 square blocks,

straight into downtown.

We'll cover the red section.

Only our people, Ted.

All right, show me the

other three entrances.

He went in over there.

There's three other

entrances here.

Make sure they're

completely blocked off.

Lock it down!

I got it.

FBI!

Step away from the column

with your hands up.

Let me see your hands.

720, this is Number One.

I need backup right now,

red section, tunnel "A."

Did you hear me?

I said step away

from the column now.

Step away from

the f***ing column!

About halfway.

-Radio's dead.

Sh*t.

Jesus Christ.

Bobby!

Leave it in!

Don't touch him!

Don't touch him!

Open his mouth.

Keep pressure on the wound.

Keep pressure on the wound.

Command Post,

this is Number Two.

We have an agent down,

sector red, sector red.

Get me them EMTs now ASAP!

Bobby... Bobby...

Bobby, listen to me.

Bobby, listen to me!

Sorry, man.

Hike!

Hike! Hike!

Number Two, Three-Charlie-One.

Subject spotted on foot,

eastbound, number two lane.

Hawthorne Bridge.

Close off both ends

of the bridge.

Two SWAT teams

on the way. Over.

Get everybody off the bridge.

Leave that car!

Excuse me.

Get down!

Let's keep this between us.

Don't get in the way!

Get everybody down on the floor.

Get down, now!

Down! Get down!

He's on the tower!

Target of opportunity!

He's on the tower!

Fire!

Cease fire!

Cease fire!

Hold your fire!

Captain, I need two or three

of your officers on each bridge.

Sweep the western sea wall,

and shut down

the bike paths. SWAT...

I need recon teams

on both sides of the river.

Sniper units to cover

each team's advance.

You can take your people

off the river.

The currents are strong enough

to carry him,

and the kid swims like a fish.

This is our show, Bonham.

This is what we do best.

How many people are

you willing to lose?

Excuse me?

He will kill

-as many of you as he can.

-Bonham...

You better decide now

what's an acceptable body count.

Knock it off!

You want more dead bodies,

that's what you're going to get

if you let these guys

declare war on my boy.

I made him what he is

and I can stop him.

We've lost two of our people--

best agents I ever served with.

Hallam belongs to us.

If you see a wreck in there,

let me know...

We'll get a vehicle down there.

If he's alive, he won't come in.

Right.

-Hallam!

-Get on the ground!

God said to Abraham,

"Kill me a son."

There's a man goin' "round

takin" names

And he decides

Who to free and who to blame

Everybody won't be treated

all the same

There'll be a golden ladder

reaching down

When the man comes around

The hairs on your arm

Will stand up

At the terror in each sip

and in each sup

Will you partake

of that last offered cup

Or disappear

into the potter's ground

When the man comes around?

Hear the trumpets,

hear the pipers

One hundred million angels

singin'

Multitudes are marching

to the big kettle drum

Voices callin',

voices cryin'

Some are born

and some are dyin'

It's Alpha and Omega's

Kingdom come

And the whirlwind is

in the thorn tree

The virgins are

all trimming their wicks

The whirlwind is

in the thorn tree

It's hard for thee to kick

against the priest

Till Armageddon,

no Shalam, no Shalom

Then the father hen will call

his chickens home

The wise men will bow down

before the throne

And at his feet they'll cast

their golden crowns

When the man comes around

Whoever is unjust,

let him be unjust still

Whoever is filthy,

let him be filthy still

Listen to the words

long written down

When the man comes around

Hear the trumpets,

hear the pipers

One hundred million angels

singin'

Multitudes are marchin'

to the big kettle drum

Voices callin',

voices cryin'

Some are born

and some are dyin'

It's Alpha and Omega's

Kingdom come

And the whirlwind is

in the thorn tree

The virgins are

all trimming their wicks

The whirlwind is

in the thorn tree

It's hard for thee to kick

against the priest

In measured hundredweight

and penny pound

When the man comes around.
