The Hunted

Synopsis: In the green woods of Silver Falls, Oregon, Aaron Hallam, a trained assassin AWOL from the Special Forces, keeps his own brand of wildlife vigil. After Hallam brutally slew four deer hunters in the area, FBI Special Agent Abby Durrell turns to L.T. Bonham-- the one man who may be able to stop him. At first L.T. resists the mission. Snug in retirement, he's closed off to his past, the years he spent in the Special Forces training soldiers to become skilled killers. But when he realizes that these recent slaying is the work of a man he trained, he feels obligated to stop him. Accepting the assignment under the condition that he works alone, L.T. enters the woods, unarmed--plagued by memories of his best student and riddled with guilt for not responding to Aaron's tortured letters to him as he began to slip over the edge of sanity. Furious as he is with his former mentor for ignoring his pleas for help, Aaron knows that he and L.T. share a tragic bond that is unbreakable. And, even as the

God said to Abraham,
"Kill me a son."
Abe says, "Man,
you must be putting me on."
God say, "No."
Abe say, "What?"
God say, "You can do
what you want, Abe,
but the next time you see me
coming, you better run."
Abe says, "Where do you want
this killing done?"
and God says,
"Out on Highway 61."
The Serbs have taken over
this... Albanian village.
They're killing everyone
in sight.
It's not a war,
it's a slaughter.
The Serbian commander is
in that mosque.
This is the third village
in a week he's destroyed.
We are to identify
and neutralize him.
We will proceed under cover
of NATO air strike,
commencing...
right... about... now!
Move!
I'm in the nest.
Copy that.
Raven is in the nest.
Cover fire, on my mark.
Three...
Two...
One!
Sergeant First Class
Aaron Hallam.
Yes, sir.
It is my privilege to present
to you the Silver Star,
one of our nation's
highest awards for valor.
Your bravery, sound judgment,
and outstanding resolve
are an example to all soldiers.
Your courageous actions
are the bedrock
upon which peace
and democracy
have always been built.
Congratulations, Hallam.
Hey.
What happened to you?
You stepped on a snare,
didn't you?
Easy.
Take it easy.
Be still.
Be still.
All right,
let me have that.
Nasty thing.
All right.
Next time you see one of these,
you go the other way.
Okay...
Here we go.
You're good, you're good.
All right...
Okay.
Now get out of here.
Anybody here
With the initials J.W.?
Yeah.
This yours?
Yeah, it is.
What the...?!
No more snares
on wolves, guys.
I got him.
He was down there.
What?
I saw him.
You need all that equipment
to kill a deer?
That's how we make sure
they're dead.
You guys don't look
like deer hunters.
When you kill with
your own hands,
there is a reverence.
Is that right?
There is no reverence
in what you do.
Where's your weapon?
Holy sh...
You're not here for
the deer, are you?
What's that?
You think you can hunt
me with those rifles?
Your rifles
against my knife.
What, are you nuts?
What do you think?
Yeah, well,
don't push it, asshole.
Where the f*ck are you?
Come on, baby.
Oh, God!
You want a little
antifreeze with that?
It's not that cold out.
Maybe not to you.
Thought you were on the wagon.
Wheels fell off.
You running a fever?
No. I'm tired
of the goddamn cold.
Not too crazy
about the thaw, neither.
Well, get a
hot water bottle.
Keep you company at night.
I don't want
a hot water bottle.
I want to go down to California
for a few weeks,
catch some thoroughbreds
at Del Mar,
do a little fishing.
They say the yellowtail jump
right into the boat
this time of year.
Sam, the yellowtail's not
running this time of year.
Hello, Ted.
L.T.
How'd you know it was me?
I saw your pigeon-toed tracks.
What are you doing
this far north?
Van Zandt wanted me
to show you something...
personally.
It's been a few years.
Okachobi, 1996.
Yeah, your agents got so scared
of alligators down there.
Remember that one guy
shit in his pants?
Mike Haney.
Yeah, that was funny.
You sort of disappeared
after that.
Yeah, I worked a few more,
and then I quit.
Been in Portland
for three years now.
We've reached out
for you a few times.
L.T., let me
ask you something.
Yeah.
What the hell are
you doing out here?
Working for
the wildlife Fund.
You went to a lot of trouble
to get yourself up here.
You know, you're
a hard man to find.
No, I'm not.
How hard am I to find
if you found me?
Van Zandt
thinks it's important.
He thinks
everything's important.
This one's different.
