Killing Season Page #4

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.

I mean I grew up in a place like this,

but not as big

and actually not as fancy,

but it was, you know,

it was the real deal, mountains, trees,

hung out with my dad.

Hey, I'll show you something.

You'll get a kick out of this.

That was my dad's.

What is this?

Silver star

for gallantry in action.

But does he have some war stories to tell, huh?

Oh, yeah.

I fought three different wars,

four different countries,

still couldn't get

one of these.

Really?

No prize for Ben.

That's not good.

All the good things you did,

you know, why not--

I remember the first time

we went hunting,

I told him

I wanted to use his bow.

He said,

"You're not strong enough to draw the string back."

He taught you

how to use this bow.

Yeah, he taught me how to make a bow.

Oh, make a bow.

He could do anything with his hands.

Oh, yeah, he was... Whoa.

He could do it all.

I hit something

the first time out,

medium sized bow,

right in the heart.

"Eagle eye," that's

what my dad called me.

Ah, Eagle eye.

Yeah. [Chuckles]

Okay, you know...

It's time for me to be roughing it again.

Are you sure?

I've got a spare room in the back-- No, you have

been very kind, you've been very generous.

My offer still stands,

tomorrow at dawn,

the west fork,

and I'll tell you what.

I even give you the first shot.

I appreciate it.

I got lots of things to do tomorrow.

Nice to have you over.

You get good sleep.

You think about it.

Maybe you change

your mind.

My thanks to you.

Thank you.

Okay. Goodnight, Benjamin.

You too, you too.

Have a good sleep.

You too, Emil.

(Ben)

Careful, it's slippery.

(Emil)

So, how do you feel?

(Ben) Got a hangover,

bouncing back.

(Emil)

Not so much for me.

(Ben) You're used to it,

I'm sure.

(Emil) Mountainman, Davy Crockett.

(Ben) You know that?

(Emil) I do.

(Ben) You heard over there?

(Emil) As a boy.

You are Davy Crockett.

I never go this way.

(Ben) Mountainmen.

You go up

in the meadow over there.

I've had good luck there.

I'm going up to the deer stand.

Take this.

It's voice activated. Channel three.

Put it on channel three.

Testing. Testing.

One, two. One, two.

It's good stuff.

Testing. Testing.

Did you ever hear the one

about this old Italian guy

wants to confess

to local padre?

So he slides open the little door in the confessional.

He says, "Father,

forgive me for I have sinned.

"Back during the war,

there was this beautiful woman.

"She came to my house and asked

me to protect her from the Nazis.

"So I hid her up my attic."

The priest says,

"That's a wonderful thing you did, my son.

"There's no need to confess."

And the old man says,

"But it gets worse.

"She started to repay me with
