EXT. OCEAN’S SURFACE - MOMENTS LATER

Shane and the Professor rise to the surface as the boat

falters behind them. Shane pulls out a retractable

CROSSBOW. It clicks open and he shoots a CABLE into the

belly of the helicopter above him.

SHANE:

Hold on.

INT. HELICOPTER - A SECOND LATER

Shane appears at the Pilot’s door, holding the Professor.

Shane addresses the Pilot in perfect SERBIAN.

SHANE:

You know how to swim?

The Pilot nods, terrified. Shane TOSSES the Pilot out.

Shane swings into the hot seat and grabs the controls,

pulling the Professor in behind him.

ON THE SURFACE OF THE WATER - CONTINUOUS

The SEALS on the Jet Skis SALUTE Shane in the chopper,

then disappear gracefully back into the water.

INT. HELICOPTER - CONTINUOUS

Shane smiles, clearly he loves this kind of day. He looks

beside him, the Professor looks terrified. The Professor

takes out his mouth piece.

PLUMMER:

Oh my God. I can’t believe you... how’d

we... That was the most incredible...

Shane sticks the mouth piece back in the Professors’

mouth, shutting him up.

SHANE:

Better keep that on ‘til we get to the

rendezvous point.

PLUMMER:

(through the mouth piece)

Why? Poison gas?

SHANE:

(re:
the oxygen)

No. I’m just not big on chit chat.

EXT. MOUNTAIN CLEARING - A LITTLE LATER

A Pave Hawk SH-60 helicopter, rotors whirling slowly,

waits. Shane’s chopper appears from behind a tree line

and sets down atop the mountain by a stream.

Shane and Charles sprint from the chopper towards the

waiting Hawk. Charles stops Shane.

CHARLES:

Lieutenant, thank you. (He pats his

briefcase) You saved more than just my

life today. Can I call my wife to let

her know I’m okay?

SHANE:

Negative. Not imperative to the mission.

We have to keep moving. I have strict

orders to get you out of here safely.

CHARLES:

I’m safe, Lieutenant. Please. She thinks

I’m dead. (then) Don’t you have a family?

6.

SHANE:

(this gets him:
)

Make it quick.

Charles picks up his briefcase. He holds the lock up to

his mouth and whispers into it:

CHARLES:

Zoe, Todd, Lulu, Peter, Tyler.

The briefcase pops open. Shane looks at him, puzzled.

CHARLES (CONT'D)

My kids. It’s voice activated. Designed

it myself. I do security, that’s my

specialty. (gestures back:) Those guys

back there tried to get this case open

for five days -- couldn’t crack it. And

you should see what happens to you if

open it without the code. I have a

picture of my kids in here, you want to

see it?

SHANE:

Negative.

Charles takes a cell-phone out of the case. Shane looks

in the case:
it’s EMPTY, except for the phone and a

family PHOTO. Charles dials his cell phone... nothing
