83 EXT. HUNTER'S P.O.V. - ANNA AND HAWKINS - DAY 83
As he hurtles towards them, their faces frozen in
surprise.
84 BACK TO SCENE/ANNA AND HAWKINS 84
A splitting THUD as Hawkins is hurtled backwards into
the undergrowth, the Hunter's hand and WEAPON flashing

through the air. BLOOD splashes on Anna's face.
She SCREAMS as Hawkins' MP-5 FIRES a short BURST
into the air.
85 EXT. RIVER BED - DAY 85
HEARING the GUNFIRE, Schaefer WHISTLES low and sharp.
Ramirez, face bloody, swings into action, moving in a
coordinated defensive/offensive pattern into the
jungle.
86 HAWKINS/BACK TO SCENE 86
The Hunter's ARM and SPUR hook into Hawkins' leg, and
he is dragged into the jungle.
87 EXT. RAMIREZ - DAY 87
Ramirez runs forward ten paces, drops to a crouch,
scanning to each side. Immediately Schaefer runs
forward twenty paces. As he passes Ramirez, Ramirez
turns and scans the rear and flanks.
Dillon, Mac and Blain repeat the maneuver, leap-frogging
forward, canvassing the jungle, providing areas of
intersection cover.
88 EXT. RAMIREZ 88
Entering the alleyway where Hawkins was killed he SEES
Anna, cowering in the bushes, her blood splattered
face glazed with terror, his eyes vacant. He
approaches, angry, wary, but the girl is so stunned.
He SEES the trail of BLOOD and CRUSHED GRASSES leading
into the jungle. He gives a LOW WHISTLE and then moves
on, the rest of the team assuming defensive positions
around the clearing.
He follows the trail, finding first Hawkins'
blood-covered weapon, and then, a few yards later,
the radio. Ramirez cautiously parts the brush before
him. A look of puzzlement and then revulsion comes
of his face.
89 EXT. ALLEYWAY - DAY 89
Blain and Mac at either end, cautiously searching
the jungle; Billy covering their flanks.

89 CONTINUED: 89
Schaefer and Dillon approach Anna. She seems unaware
of their presence, staring numbly ahead. Schaefer
checks her out, looking for wounds, he wipes some of
the blood from her face.
SCHAEFER
It's not her blood.
Ramirez emerges from the jungle carrying Hawkins'
MP-5 and radio. He approaches, dumping the equipment
on the ground.
RAMIREZ
Major, you'd better take a
look at this.
SCHAEFER
Hawkins?
RAMIREZ
(oddly)
I can't tell.
90 EXT. SCHAEFER AND RAMIREZ - DAY 90
Dillon in the b.g., as Ramirez parts the brush with
his weapon. Before them, covered with dirt and
leaves, are Hawkins' ENTRAILS. There is no body.
SCHAEFER
(shocked)
What in God's name...?
RAMIREZ
I think it's Hawkins.
SCHAEFER
Where the hell is his body?
RAMIREZ
There's no sign of it.
91 EXT. ALLEYWAY - DAY 91
The entire team is gathered, still holding defensive
positions. Anna, still stunned, is beginning to
come around. She looks up at Schaefer. He turns to
Ramirez.

SCHAEFER
Ramirez, ask her what
happened.
Ramirez drops to one knee and talks softly to her in
SPANISH. She mutters incoherently in Spanish, still
dazed, shaking her head. Dillon listens closely to her
response. Ramirez turns to Schaefer. He seems
confused.
RAMIREZ
She says...the jungle came
alive, and took him...
DILLON
That isn't what she said...
she said...
(pondering; to
Ramirez)
...she doesn't make sense.
RAMIREZ
(growing angry)
Couple of sappers been
trailing us all the way from
the camp, Major. Billy heard
them. She set us up, ran
for it...They were waiting.
I should've wasted the bitch
when I had the chance.
Schaefer, looking at Hawkins' bloodstained equipment
lying at Anna's feet, looks up.
SCHAEFER
(quietly)
Why didn't they take the
radio and his weapon?
(pause)
Why didn't she escape?
Ramirez and Dillon look at the equipment and then
to the girl, still numb with shock.
DILLON
(grimly; remembering)
They did the same thing to
Davis...

91 CONTINUED: (2) 91
The two veteran commandos look at each other, finding
no explanation between them.
SCHAEFER
(urgent; to the others)
I want him found. Sweep
pattern and double back. Fifty
meters.
They move out. Schaefer moves into the jungle,
searching. He crouches at the base of a huge
MAHOGANY TREE, covered with vines, studying the
jungle. He moves away from the tree and into the
forest, looking for signs on the ground.
Where he was sitting, a DROP OF BLOOD falls. Another
drop falls, dripping from a leaf and above that, from
another leaf. Above that, high in the top of the
tree, SUSPENDED from vines from his ankles, is
HAWKINS' BODY, his chest a gaping wound.
He hands there as if he were an animal, field dressed.
92 EXT. BLAIN - DAY 92
Crouched in the undergrowth. There is a movement in
the brush before him. He wipes the sweat from his
eyes and clicks his safety on the Mini-gun to fire.
The SOUND is growing closer. Blain levels the weapon.
A smile crosses his face.
BLAIN
(whispers)
Come on in you fuckers...come on
in. 'ol 'painless' is waitin'...
The movement in the brush is GROWING LOUDER. Blain's
finger moves closer to the trigger.
Suddenly a small TAPIR bursts through the leaves,
startling Blain. He relaxes momentarily as he
watches the animal scurrying from sight. He
stands...
(CONTINUED)
------------------------------------------------------------------------

92 CONTINUED: 92
SOMETHING grazes his shoulder, a gout of BLOOD erupting.
He starts to turn, the Mini-gun held low, ready to
fire...
...from out of the jungle, 75 feet away, the Hunter's
WEAPON streaks toward him like a missile. He SCREAMS
as it enters his back, erupting from his chest in an
EXPLOSION of BLOOD.
93 EXT. MAC - DAY 93
Has heard Blain's cry. He moves fast through the brush.
He HEARS a RUSTLING in the bushes. A wet SUCKING SOUND.
Mac charges into the clearing. In the instant before
the Hunter disappears into the forest, Mac SEES a vision
so brief and fantastic that it seems like a
hallucination.
The Hunter's EYES flare momentarily from the green
before they vanish.
Mac sees his friend, lying on the ground, his chest
open, the powerful man, dead.
MAC
(shouting)
Contact, 30 Right!!!
He OPENS FIRE with his M-203, belted shells slamming
into the weapon from the magazine at his waist,
expending it in one LONG BURST.
94 EXT. THE OTHER TEAM MEMBERS - DAY 94
Flying through the jungle, weapons ready, eyes searching
for movement.
95 EXT. MAC - DAY 95
He throws down the weapon and with a cry of rage, lunges
forward, grabbing the Mini-gun. As he stands, the
CARTRIDGE BELT, attached to Blain, strings out between
them.
He opens FIRE and the foliage before him EXPLODES with
the fury of the terrible weapon. Mac sweeps the
Mini-gun from left to right, like a man possessed,
mowing down the jungle.
The other team members race INTO SIGHT and begin firing
with Mac.

Ramirez opens FIRE with the SIX-SHOOTER grenade
launcher...EXPLOSIONS rock the jungle.
96 EXT. HUNTER - DAY 96
Moving. A piece of SHRAPNEL cuts his shoulder. A
splash of ORANGE BLOOD spatters across the LEAVES
of a nearby tree, bullet holes ripping through the
surrounding foliage.
97 BACK TO SCENE/MAC 97
More FIRING. Mac, his weapon expended, continues
to thrust the Mini-gun forward, still squeezing the
trigger.
Suddenly, as quickly as it started, THE FIRING STOPS.
The men move catlike into the jungle, reloading,
searching, their nerves taut, stretched to the limit,
ready to fire again at any second.
Mac is frozen, eyes wide, unblinking, his breath
coming in rapid gasps as he stares into the jungle,
still squeezing the trigger of the weapon, its
breech locked open, GUNSMOKE wafting from the chamber
and barrel.
Schaefer moves in front of Mac, still staring into the
jungle. Dillon pushes Anna into the clearing, moving
towards the body. Anna looks at the body and then up
to Mac. Schaefer sees a terrifying moment of
recognition flash in her eyes as she continues to
stare at Mac. He turns to Mac.
MAC
(confused)
I...saw it.
At these words, Anna reacts in shock, drawing a *
slight breath. Schaefer turns, sees her staring at *
Mac. He turns back.
SCHAEFER
You saw what?
MAC
(still dazed)
I saw it.
Schaefer turns back to see Anna, staring fixidly at Mac, *
watching his lips. Schaefer turns quickly to Blain's *
body and kneels alongside Dillon.
98 SCHAEFER 98
is at Blain's side, shocked at the sight of the
mutilated body. He is joined by Dillon.

98 CONTINUED: 98
SCHAEFER
(to himself)
Blain...
(puzzled)
...Just like the others...no
powder burns, no shrapnel.
DILLON
The wound all fused,
cauterized...what the hell
did this?
Schaefer stands, looking at the body. In the b.g.
Anna drifts away from the group.
SCHAEFER
(to Mac)
...Mac!
Mac stares ahead, dumbly, not hearing. He grabs Mac
by his shoulders, shaking him violently back to
awareness.
SCHAEFER
(demanding;
angry)
Mac! Mac! Look at me!
Mac turn to face Schaefer, a shocked expression on his
face.
SCHAEFER
(urgent)
Mac, who did this?
Mac is suddenly angry and frustrated, he has no
explanation.
MAC
I don't know. Goddamn it,
something...I saw something/.
Ramirez runs from the jungle, breathing hard, shaking
his head.
RAMIREZ
Nothing. The same thing.
Not a fucking trace. No
bodies, blood, anything.
