Gannon follows Olsen down the main lumber aisle toward the

warehouse center and notices the EMPTY main area...

GANNON:

The others?

OLSEN:

On their way.

INT. LUMBER WAREHOUSE MAIN AREA - CONTINUOUS

They get to the center of the warehouse, standing between

aisles like miniatures in some massive archaic timber library.

Eight CHAIRS form a circle in the center of the room. Olsen

sets his duffel down. Turns to Gannon.

OLSEN:

About thirty minutes ago a gunman

opened fire on a group of people in

Grayling. I don't know who. I don't

know where. I don't know why. All I

know is the gun was automatic.

5.

GANNON:

News didn't say what he shot up?

OLSEN:

'Public shooting.' 'A lot of

fatalities.' That's all so far-

A SQUEAL of car brakes from outside. Gannon looks to the

entrance. The hushed sound of a car door opening and closing.

Through the set of loading bay windows, we see the exterior

of the warehouse LIGHT up. The motion light outside...

The door opens...BECKMANN(34). Dark, parted hair. Glasses.

Methodical. Two PACKS on his shoulder and back as he enters.

Gannon sees him, then takes his phone out...'INBOX: 0'

BECKMANN:

Did they figure out whose it was?

OLSEN:

Whose what was?

BECKMANN:

A man walked out of the woods with

an automatic weapon and started

shooting at a funeral at Wilcox

cemetery. Do they know whose yet?

The motion light goes out. Gannon's eyes flinch once he

registers what Beckmann said...

GANNON:

Shooting was on a funeral?

BECKMANN:

That's what I said.

That information reverberates like a gunshot when...

The loading bay windows LIGHT up. Gannon's head jerks toward

the opening door. MORRIS(52). Shaved head. Goatee.

Gannon doesn't acknowledge him. He sends another text:

MORRIS (O.S.)

He got away. The shooter got away.

'CALL ME. NOW...'

BECKMANN:

He didn't kill himself?

MORRIS:

No.

6.

OLSEN:

Th' f***'s that got to do with

anything?

BECKMANN:

Public shooters usually realize how

bad they f***ed up once they finish.

Then they realize the solution to

that feeling is still in their hand-

GANNON:

Doesn't matter. He's alive.

OLSEN:

(to Morris)

It's a safe bet the cops have no

idea where the shooter is?

MORRIS:

Still searching the area. Helicopters.

Ground units. Dogs. Door to door.

BECKMANN:

There's still enough leaves in the

tree to give him cover from heli

units. Dogs can't pick scent up in-

The door BANGS open. HUBBEL(60) Slovenly. Mountain man

survivalist. Gannon looks at him. Then again, BEHIND him as

if expecting more...
