Killing Season Page #3

Synopsis: Killing Season tells the story of two veterans of the Bosnian War, one American, one Serbian, who clash in the Appalachian Mountain wilderness. FORD is a former American soldier who fought on the front lines in Bosnia. When our story begins, he has retreated to a remote cabin in the woods, trying to escape painful memories of war. The drama begins when KOVAC, a former Serbian soldier, seeks Ford out, hoping to settle an old score. What follows is a cat-and-mouse game in which Ford and Kovac fight their own personal World War III, with battles both physical and psychological. By the end of the film, old wounds are opened, suppressed memories are drawn to the surface and long-hidden secrets about both Ford and Kovac are revealed.

You don't have any idea what

the war was like for me, buddy.

I misspoke.

What I simply meant is that most American soldiers

did nothing more

but lob missiles into Bosnia

from the safety of ships

floating in the Mediterranean.

Most, not all.

Three drinks.

Say again?

My people say

we love Americans

for three drinks,

but we've had five.

And I still love you.

[Laughs]

Hey. Come on.

Let's have six.

Maybe seven.

Two more, we'll forget

we even had this conversation.

Then Billy Joe reached

for his gun to draw

But the stranger drew his gun

and fired before he even saw

As Billy Joe

fell to the floor

the crowd

all gathered round

And wondered

at his final words

Don't take your guns

to town, son

Leave your guns

at home, Bill

Don't take your guns to town

To the man in black.

Love this f***ing song.

[Groans]

What?

The shooting pain?

Shrapnel,

finding its way out.

Why don't you

just get this removed?

Well, doctor says my choice.

I hate hospitals anyway.

Maybe you like pain.

Sometimes things

become part of you.

Whether you like it or not.

What is this?

Is this a picture of baby?

My grandson gets

baptized tomorrow morning.

I don't think

I'm going to make it.

I haven't even met the kid yet.

Yeah, but, you know,

he sent this invitation,

I'm sure

he wants you to go.

Well, my wife,

well, my ex-wife,

she's going to bring her new-- hell, I say new,

but she's been married,

what, going on 20 years now.

And you know the kicker?

Kicker? What's "kicker?"

Surprise.

Surprise, yes.

The new guy, he was

best man at our wedding.

Oh, mother f***er.

You're kidding.

Yup.

He's all right.

He ain't a bad guy.

He's been there for my son.

He's been actually more

of a father than I have.

I've been, you know,

away and here and there.

You know, just...

[mumbling]

Oh, come on, Ben.

Let me read something for you.

You test my German. Okay.

It is the hunter's honor

that he protects

and preserves his game,

hunts sportsmanlike,

and honors the creator

and his creatures.

[Laughs]

Benjamin, did you honor

the creator in him?

I didn't kill him.

You didn't?

I haven't killed anything in 20 years.

You're joking.

No. Everything you see here inside, outside,

all bullshit. Bullshit, what do you mean--

Everything here,

bullshit car,

bullshit house,

bullshit fiberglass bow,

bullshit heads on a wall, it's all bullshit.

Come on, I would love to have this.

Want to hear

something pathetic?

This was all here when I bought this place.

You're joking.

No. Furnished with rustic interior design elements.

Oh, my God.

That's what the listing said. That's it.

It's all bullshit. That is not the man you are.
