Enemy of the State
FADE IN:
EXT. SHENANDOAH NATIONAL PARK, SCENIC VIEW LOT - MORNING
Shenandoah mountains. A cold dawn. TWO BLACK TOWN CARS
sit side by side, facing a view of a farming valley below.
Two MEN in dark suits and long coats stand near the
cars, casually on the lookout. If we caught a glimpse
underneath the coat of the taller of the two, we'd see
that he was carrying a 9mm. Glock.
INT. BLACK TOWN CAR - CONTINUOUS
In the backseat of the car sit HAMERSLEY and REYNOLDS,
each well-kept and in his early 50's.
REYNOLDS:
"I know thy works and thy labour
and how thou canst not bear them
that are evil. And thou hast tried
them who say they are apostles and
hast found them to be liars".
Revelations II.
HAMERSLEY:
What the hell does it mean?
REYNOLDS:
It means who's side are you on?
HAMERSLEY:
You didn't ask me to meet you 30
miles from my office for a Bible
study class.
REYNOLDS:
It's a bi-partisan issue. Everyone
needs to swallow hard. No one,
including you, wants to be fingered
as the one obstructing efforts to
crack down on terrorism, and--
HAMERSLEY:
F*ck you.
REYNOLDS:
What?
HAMERSLEY:
I said f*ck you.
REYNOLDS:
Is that anyway to talk to an old
school chum?
HAMERSLEY:
You're gonna finger me as soft on
terrorism? Terrorism, you
unconscionable asshole?
REYNOLDS:
There are planes falling out of the
sky, buildings blowing up. American
buildings. Americans getting bombs
in the mail. What are we gonna do!?
HAMERSLEY:
We're not gonna hand you and your
band of lunatics the keys to the
kingdom. I'm not gonna sit in
Congress and write a law that
allows the NSA to point a camera
and a microphone at anything they
damn well feel like. And the next
time you have something to say to
me, we do it above-board, in my
office, like everyone else. Now get
outa my car, I've got a committee
meeting on the hill.
REYNOLDS regards HAMERSLEY a moment, then opens the car
door--
EXT. PARKWAY - MORNING
HAMERSLEY's car snakes down the twisting mountain road.
INT. HAMERSLEY'S CAR - CONTINUOUS
HAMERSLEY MAKES VERBAL NOTES concerning the Reynolds
meeting into his memo-recorder as he drives. He picks
up his cellular phone and punches in a number.
VOICE (O.S.)
Senator Albert's office--
The line goes dead.
HAMERSLEY tries again but can't get a dial tone. Then,
in the rear-view mirror, a BROWN SEDAN gains fast.
Whoever the guy is, he's flying. Then a man with a
rifle leans out the sedan's window. Aims.
HAMERSLEY flies into a blind curve. Tires SCREECH as he
rounds the bend to see
A PROPANE TRUCK. Blocking both lanes of the road.
HAMERSLEY's eyes widen. He stomps the brakes, SKIDS and
SLAMS into the truck. The EXPLOSION engulfs everything.
HAMERSLEY and the car are consumed. The pursuing sedan
slows to a stop. The men watch. The car's an inferno.
