The Hunted Page #2

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

of businessmen from Medford.

What else can we do for you?

Nothing.

Ask everybody to fall back.

Bobby, let's get everybody

out of here.

You guys, everybody, let's go,

let's fall back. Come on.

Let's go!

Yeah, everyone!

This is him.

Who?

The guy that did it.

At this point, we're not sure

how many killers there were.

Just one.

How do you know that?

He left a signature

right there in that tree.

Mr. Bonham, the deceased

were two able-bodied men.

-Mm-hmm.

-They had rifles

With sophisticated

scopes on them.

One of them had

a nine millimeter handgun

stuck inside his jacket.

Yeah.

Now, it seems

unlikely that one man

With a hatchet could possibly...

He didn't use a hatchet.

He used a knife

With a serrated edge on one side

and a filet blade on the other.

You're saying

that one guy with a knife

threw it at this tree and then

killed those two hunters?

Yeah. He wore a size ten shoe

with no tread,

almost like a slipper--

kind of like this one.

He's out there.

Oh, you're not going

out there alone.

That's the way I work.

Take this.

I don't need that.

Humor me.

The battery's fully charged,

so please make sure

you leave it on.

Okay.

You don't have a gun?

I don't like guns.

Well, how much time

do we give you?

If I'm not back in two days,

it'll mean I'm dead.

L.T.

Remember me?

No.

You taught me.

I taught a lot of people.

How come you didn't

answer my letters?

How come you're chopping up

all these people?

Did you see

the scopes they were using?

They weren't hunters, L.T.

They were sweepers.

You're going to have

to come in, son.

Move up.

-He's down.

-Down. He's down!

Stay back.

Don't touch him.

I found a weapon.

We see you!

D2, move in.

Call it in!

Move in!

30 yards on your right!

Bring him in.

Clear it out!

L.T.

Harry.

You did a hell of a job.

Thanks.

He's one of yours, isn't he?

-Yeah.

-That's what I thought.

-He's our man?

-Yeah.

Any idea why?

No.

That'd be your job.

Would you like some coffee?

No, thank you, ma'am.

You don't have to talk to us

if you don't want to.

I understand that.

How about telling us your name?

We could start with that.

He knows my name.

Why don't you tell me

What happened in the woods?

Did you know

six billion chickens will die

in slaughterhouses this year?

What does that have to do

with what happened

in Silver Falls?

What if there was a species

above us in the food chain?

How do you think you'd feel

if that species

lost total respect for us

and started

slaughtering us, Wholesale?

I don't know...

but it's very interesting.

Do you understand it?

Oh, yeah.

Good.

What is it you want

to tell Mr. Bonham
