The Marine 5: Battleground Page #3

---

Medic 274 responding.

Well, about time, Williams.

Where have you been?

Do you need assistance?

Tell them it was nothing.

It was just a prank.

Nothing to report.

Copy, 274. Stay on

the air in the future. Out.

No one's coming to save your ass now.

Are you sure about that?

Shut up!

My partner, he's not just

some kind of paramedic.

He's an ex-Marine, a trained killer.

And he'll send every

last one of you guys

to hell before he deserts that kid.

Ah! Sh*t. Take it easy.

You want morphine, or not?

(SIGHING)

What's your name, man?

Carter. Jake Carter.

We need to change this.

Look, I'm sorry I called you down here.

Sorry any of this happened.

Put pressure here.

I was just protecting my daughter.

I wanted her to grow up safe.

Now it looks like I'm not

even gonna be around.

You'll be around.

Hold it together.

My baby girl's five now.

I had this with me every day

when I was on the inside.

You were in prison?

Look, man, I've done some

dumb things in my life,

but I ain't a bad person.

I never even held a gun before tonight.

Don't think about that now.

Think about this.

Live for this.

Now, I gotta go see about my partner.

ALONZO:
Hey, jarhead.

You listening?

We got your girl, and she's got

something she has to tell you.

Tell him. He has to

know you're still alive.

They made me reply to dispatch, Jake.

No one's coming.

I'm sorry.

ALONZO:
You hear that?

The odds are stacked, and

we've got the winning hand.

The only question is,

which life do you value most?

Hers? Or that cockroach

you got down there with you?

(STAMMERS)

Don't give me in, man, please.

ALONZO:
Time to make a choice, a**hole!

Come on, jarhead.

That lone wolf killed one of our own.

We deserve justice!

Blood for blood!

Lone wolf?

I'm gonna count to three.

- One!

- Do they know you?

- What?

- Do they know your face?

- I don't know.

- Two.

Did they see you? Did

they actually see you?

No. No, just the president.

Three.

Stop! Don't shoot!

Don't kill her!

I'll do it!

- I'll make the trade.

- No.

I'm on the bottom level!

Come and get him!

- I need your jacket.

- What?

- What are you doing?

- They think it's one guy.

(LINE RINGING)

Get your ass on the bike.

Give me your hands.

VINCENT:
You know what to do.

(PHONE BEEPS)

Vincent, it's Alonzo.

We're at the underground

garage at the amusement park.

Job's done.

(EKG FLAT LINING)

JAKE:
He's dead!

That you, jarhead?

Show yourself.

JAKE:
You got what you wanted.

Now let my partner go, and leave.

Yeah.

How about I blast your b*tch

partner, carve you up for my dogs?

And then I'll leave.

JAKE:
Hear that?

That's the first noise a .357 makes.

Wanna hang around for the second?

Bullshit.

(GUNSHOT)

DEACON:
F***! Where the hell

did he get that?

From your friend.

After I stuck a knife in her gut.

ZOE:
What did I say?

You son of a b*tch!

(GUN FIRING)

Deacon. You will get justice.

(GRUNTING)

JAKE:
You want justice?

He flanked us.

JAKE:
There it is.

Justice. At your feet.

ALONZO:
There ain't no ink on that body?

That ain't no biker.

When did he die?

JAKE:
Twenty minutes ago.

I did all I could.

ALONZO:
Why didn't you

give him up before?

JAKE:
'Cause I didn't think you'd

let my partner go even if I did.

Who's to say I will now?

(GUN C*CKS)

JAKE:
Me being a good shot.

Where the f*** is he?

All right, jarhead.

Your round.

Photograph that piece of sh*t.

Wanna help me get out of these?

No!

You really think we'll

just walk away, jarhead?

You don't know what you just started.

Big words for a cornered rat.

Vince will be here soon. We

got the guy we came here for.

DEACON:
What about the jarhead?

We'll cut him off at the top.

Let's go.

(DOOR OPENS, CLOSES)

(ENGINE REVVING)

(ENGINE STOPS)

You said you were done here?

We are done.

It's over.

It's a dark day for our club.

But justice has been dealt.

I congratulate you.

We got that son of a b*tch.

He's dead.

What about the other one?

What other one?

There were two guys who did the hit.

What?

No, it was a lone wolf, I saw him.

- When?

- When we got here.

The EMTs tried to bust

him out with the pickup.

There was one wounded guy in the back.

I watched the security tapes, Alonzo!

There were two guys in that truck. Two!

A driver and a shooter.

Are you stupid?

That means one of them

bastards is still out there!

(PANTING)

Huh.

Out of bullets, huh?

I got lots of bullets.

(GRUNTS)

(DEACON YELLING)

(GROANS)

(GROANING)

(PANTING)

The axeman cometh.

(GROANS)

(AX CLATTERS)

Oh, please.

(GUNSHOT)

(GUNSHOT)

Thanks for the help.

Thanks for the morphine.

VINCENT:
Hey, paramedic!

We know that motherf***er

wasn't alone down there!

Call for backup.

All right? I want guns,

ammo, and radios.

I'll flush this bastard out.

Go on!

Someone was lying about having

lots of ammo, weren't they?

Cole.

Cole. Hey. Cole.

(GROANS)

You still with me?

Yeah.

Where's your partner?

She's dead.

They killed her.

F***.

VINCENT:
Hey!

Hey!

Mr. Paramedic man!

You don't know me,

but see here, I run this show!

I got more men and more guns coming.

And we're gonna sweep every inch

of this place until we find you.

And I will find you!

Look, I'm wasted, man,

you've done all you can.

Just go.

You got a better chance of

making it out of here alone.

These guys killed my partner.

We're in this together now.

Come on.

We're gonna get the elevator working.

Get us the hell out.

We're not dying here tonight.

Bottom floor. Figures.

(GRUNTING)

JAKE:
Come on.

Cole. Cole. Cole.

Come on, man.

Gotta get some blood into you.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

MAN 1:
Let's go!

MAN 2:
I got him.

MAN 3:
Let's go.

MAN 4:
We can do this.

MAN 5:
We can. Do it for Rodrigo.

MAN 6:
Over here, unload it here.

MAN:
I got it.

(GUNS COCKING)

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

(GROANING)

(COLE EXHALES)

Where are we?

In the elevator.

You were going into cardiac arrest.

It's combat transfusion.

I'm O positive. It's safe.

Combat what?

It's standard practice in the Marines.

You're a Marine?

Yes, sir.

No wonder you're such a badass.

(CHUCKLES)

Oh, God.

Oh.

(COLE EXHALES HEAVILY)

Why did you do all this?

It was a debt.

When I was in jail, some guy offered

me and my buddy Taylor protection.

When we got out, said we owed him.

He told you to kill somebody for him?

Yeah, head of some biker gang

he had beef with.

We said no,

but then he came after Taylor's brother,

put him in a coma.

He told me my baby girl was next. God.

I had no choice, I had to do it.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

(WHISTLES)

I made a promise to Rodrigo

that I'd avenge his death.

And as your new leader,

I am making this my

first order of business.

(C*CKS GUN)

For the Legion!

ALL:
(SHOUTING)

For the Legion!

(SHOUTING ECHOES)

Okay, that's gonna have to do.

(RIPPING) Ow!

God. I'm gonna get this thing working.

- MAN 1:
Let's do it.

- MAN 2:
Let's go.

- Come on.

- For Rodrigo.

Do you know what you're doing?
