Big Game Page #4

Synopsis: When Air Force One is shot down by terrorists leaving the President of the United States stranded in the wilderness, there is only one person around who can save him - a 13-year old boy called Oskari. In the forest on a hunting mission to prove his maturity to his kinsfolk, Oskari had been planning to track down a deer, but instead discovers the most powerful man on the planet in an escape pod. With the terrorists closing in to capture their own "Big Game" prize, the unlikely duo must team up to escape their hunters. As anxious Pentagon officials observe the action via satellite feed, it is up to the President and his new side-kick to prove themselves and survive the most extraordinary 24 hours of their lives.

and kill me.

And I will have

sacrificed my life

to protect a man

who can barely do a push-up,

let alone run a country.

Do not forget

why we are here, Hazar.

Before I draw my last breath,

I will deliver you

the President.

You will wire the money

as planned.

We will all stay on task.

Or I will damn well end it here.

So, how much time do we have before the

Americans figure out their mistakes?

We have a good head start.

They won't be on us before dawn.

Whoever the terrorist team is,

based on historical precedent,

they're unlikely to be Finnish.

So we have foreigners,

outsiders,

needing to access

the inaccessible.

- Get online. Type in "Explore Northern Finland".

- Sir.

Okay. I got a few companies

organizing trips,

helicopters,

four-wheel drive...

- Looks like it's mainly aimed at hunting.

- Hunting!

So you will carry rifles and

equipment and not raise any alarms.

- This is good.

- Make a list.

Get the details,

start contacting them.

You're looking for the one that just

flew in a group of big game tourists.

One more thing.

We need live stream satellite

coverage of this area.

Oh, I'm sorry, sir,

but we don't have that.

You have high-res surveillance of

Russia or United Kingdom, right?

- We do.

- Well, let's get those satellites

pointed in the right direction!

This is it.

This is what?

A secret between me and my dad.

A secret?

A perfect place to hunt.

We camp here.

What is it like to be powerful?

Well...

Right now, I'd have to say,

power

is ephemeral.

And what that means?

Well, that means

that a few hours ago,

I could order the greatest

armed force on the planet

to invade any country

in the world.

And now,

I can't even order a pizza.

And believe me...

...I could really use a pizza.

Why are you asking about power?

My dad is powerful.

In fact,

my family is very famous here.

Maybe you know my dad.

What did you say his name was?

Tapio.

Tapio.

Well, I'm sorry.

Never heard of him.

You don't know

much about hunting.

I don't know a damn thing

about hunting.

Look.

Is this the bear

you were talking about?

Yeah.

King of the forest.

We all do this when we turn 13.

We are sent into the forest

to kill something.

That shows the world

what we are as a man.

And now it's your turn.

Yep.

Tomorrow, I will be a man.

Oh, you look like him.

- Really?

- Yeah. You guys could be twins.

When I go back,

no one will laugh at me.

You have to be tough in Finland.

Well...

You know,

there is an alternative.

Sometimes

you don't have to be tough.

You just have to look tough.

Now, that is something I do

know a hell of a lot about.

Let me tell you a story.

Right before I was gonna give my
