The truck SOUND is CLOSER now. We can SEE it at the end of the long driveway.

Lawson flings the green plastic bags into two battered and half-full metal cans, starts running down the driveway.

LAWSON
(shouting)
Wait a minute, wait a minute!

END OF DRIVEWAY ~- DAY

The truck stops at the bottom of the driveway. Lawson stumbles his way towards it, smiles.

LAWSON
I was afraid you'd miss me --

REVERSE ANGLE

COOKE -- The man behind the truck -- pulls an Ingram submachine gun INTO VIEW. At the same moment, the cab of the garbage truck is kicked open and DIAZ, the driver, leans out, similarly armed.

COOKE
Don't worry...we won't.

And they cut Lawson down, the bullets raking across his body and the cans.

LONG SHOT

Lawson falls back, spread-eagled. The garbage cans, pierced and leaking, roll TOWARD THE CAMERA, blocking our view just as Cooke moves close to administer a coup de grace.

FORRESTAL Sure, get in...comfy, right? I know what you're gonna say... it's cloth. But take it from me...you don't want leather, it's hot, it cracks, it's trouble. And look at the head room...you're not gonna have a problem... Diaz starts the engine. FORRESTAL Go ahead, start it up. Hear that?

Les nods. Bennett steps off the boat, crosses over another boat and steps onto his boat.

BENNETT'S BOAT 12
Bennett starts his boat, revs the throttle, then pulls

EXT. MOUNTAINS - DAY 15

source 9

MAIN TITLES BEGIN...and along with them we HEAR MUSIC.

The CAMERA SKIMS OVER snow-capped peaks, pine trees twinkling dew in the morning light.

Then we SEE it: An 80's version of a log cabin...with crisp, clean lines...energy efficient and snug.

A85

ANOTHER ANGLE 16

as a giant FIGURE descends from the mountains behind the house balancing a giant log on his right shoulder and carrying a chain saw in his left hand.

This is COLONEL JOHN ALEXANDER MATRIX. He's in his mid-thirties...a man of raw power and vitality...and something else: Joy. Joy, and a sense of calm,

Matrix reaches a shed behind the cabin. He puts down the log and chain saw, then picks up firewood and begins to SPLIT it with awesome single swipes of an axe.

INTERCUT:

LOW ANGLE - HOUSE 17

as a shadow comes stealthily alongside the house and begins to slowly and cautiously advance on Matrix.

INTERCOT: MATRIX AND APPROACHING PERSON 18

Matrix doesn't turn or otherwise seem to see the other person...but he reacts to little things:

reflects a dull, indistinct figure approaching Matrix from behind.

None of the above escapes Matrix's eye...and then, at the last possible second, he WHIRLS and confronts:

A85

NEW ANGLE 24

Matrix sweeps up the intruder...his eleven-year-~-old daughter, JENNY. She laughs as he tickles her.

JENNY
Dad...Dad...put me down.

She tickles him back on his neck and ribs...he laughs, puts her down.

MATRIX
I surrender, I surrender.

He raises his hands, open, trusting. Instantly she attacks again, then runs like hell as he pursues her, MUSIC CONTINUES.

EXT. ROADSIDE ICE CREAM STAND - DAY 25

source 11

Matrix's Blazer is parked here. Father and daughter

sit across from each other...she has a cone, he has a @ish. He uses his spoon to steal some of her flavor

EXT. CABIN STREAM AREA - DAY 26

source 12

Matrix and Jenny are trout fishing in a beautiful

stream. A deer tentatively approaches and Matrix and

Jenny take food from a knapsack and hold it out for

MUSIC AND TITLES END.

INT. HOUSE DINING ROOM ~ LATER ~ DAY 28

source 14

Matrix sits at the table as Jenny serves lunch. The

view through the expansive picture window is breathtaking. Matrix leafs through some of Jenny's rock'n'roll Magazines.

MATRIX
When I was a boy and rock and roll came to East Germany, the communists said it was subversive...
(slight smile)
..-They were right...
(bites into sandwich Jenny brought him)
..-What's in this?
JENNY
You don't want to know.

Suddenly Matrix gets an odd look on his face...he stands, cocks his head.

JENNY
What's wrong?

He shushes her, puts his hand up to block the sun as he peers through the picture window. Now Jenny ~~ and the audience -- can SEE what Matrix's keen senses have already heard...an approaching aircraft.

MATRIX'S P.O.V. - HELICOPTER 29

with U.S. Army markings, coming towards the house... then veering off for a landing.

MATRIX
Promise.

THE COPTER aa

It lands. Three men get out.

GENERAL FRANKLIN KIRBY is in the lead. He's in his early 50's, fit, energetic -~ and, as we can SEE -~ the pilot of the craft. He's wearing rugged Army Class "C's."

The two young soldiers with him are HARRIS and JACKSON. They wear BDU's and carry carbines. At a look from Kirby they fan out, and watch the cabin.

KIRBY 32

Kirby approaches the cabin.

KIRBY
(calling out)
John, come on out. It's Kirby.
MATRIX
(o.s.)
I know.

Startled, Kirby whirls to see Matrix standing behind hin.

KIRBY
Silent and smooth...just like always.

He smiles and he and Matrix come together and shake hands.

MATRIX
I better be. You taught me.

He affectionately squeezes Kirby's shoulder. Jenny comes out of the cabin toward the two men.

KIRBY.
I need to talk to your dad, Jenny.
JENNY
No way, Jose.

Matrix gives her a sharp look and Jenny grudgingly goes back inside. Kirby and Matrix begin to walk as clouds billow high above the mountaintops around them.

You gave them new identities...

KIRBY
There must have been a leak. Lawson, Forrestal...Bennett have all been hit.

MATRIX

Who's doing it? X KIRBY

You've made enemies all over the x

world, John. It could be the

Syrians, the South Africans, the

Russians...or a terrorist group. (pausing)

They're gonna find you.

Matrix looks toward the cabin. Jenny is watching him through a window. Matrix turns back to Kirby and they begin walking back to the cabin.

MATRIX
We were going to make a normal X life here...
KIRBY
You will...I promise. I'm going X

into the city to coordinate with the Faderal people. In the meantime, Jackson and Harris will stay with you.

Matrix looks the two soldiers over.

watches the chopper lift off and fly away. Jenny, subdued, comes out of the cabin.

JENNY
Is it bad?
MATRIX
I'm not leaving you...if that's what you mean.
JENNY
Then it can't be bad.

She smiles.

An intense look comes over Matrix's face, then ~~

-~ In a BLUR, he sweeps up Jenny in his arms just before machine gun fire BLASTS the cabin. The VOLLEY

OF FIRING SHATTERS the windows and RIPS OPEN Harris' chest, his blood SPLATTERING against the cabin.

Matrix, still clutching Jenny, DIVES through the door

into the cabin and HITS the floor. Jackson CATCHES a round in the shoulder, SPINS to the ground, then crawls through the door after Matrix.

The three of them lie on the cabin floor as the FIRING CONTINUES to BLAST AWAY at Harris' body, the rounds SMACKING into the side of the cabin.

Then the firing stops. Silence.

MATRIX
(whispering) = How bad you hit?
JACKSON
(whispering)
I'll make it.
MATRIX
(whispering)
I've got to get my rifle from the shed. Keep an eye out, they'll be coming. You're downwind, the air currents might tip them off.

Matrix steps forward and points his rifle directly at Diaz.

MATRIX
Where is she?

Diaz smiles and puts his feet up on a table.

DIAZ
Mellow out, man. We can't talk business with you waving guns in people's faces.

Matrix puts the rifle against Diaz's forehead and COCKS the trigger. The smile vanishes from Diaz's face.

DIAZ
She's safe, Major. Whether she stays that way.is up to you. My people got some business with you...

Matrix hears a NOISE outside, glances out the window and sees two vehicles RACING away from the house.

DIAZ
...and if you want your kid back, you gotta cooperate. Right?
MATRIX
Wrong.

Matrix levels the H&K and BLASTS Diaz in the chest. Diaz and the chair are JERKED violently backward.

Then, one hand on the wheel, the other on the door frame, he begins to push the car. He steers it not towards the dirt road, but towards the shoulder where a steep incline leads downward. Since the Blazer is pointed the wrong way, Matrix is pushing it uphill...the effort is incredible...the veins on his neck stand out...with a SCREAM, he puts everything he's got into it...and finally it begins to roll downwards. Matrix leaps in. Smaps on the driver's shoulder belt... reaches over and wraps the passenger belt around his body as well. The Blazer rolls over the edge. BLAZER - SEVERAL SHOTS 44 as it bounces wildly down the 45 degree slope.

The wrecked Blazer is BURNING, then suddenly EXPLODES. The CAMERA HOLDS ON this, what looks like Matrix's funeral pyre.

Then we SEE movement and SEE a bloodied and injured Matrix crawling away from the intense fire.

He stops and looks back at the destroyed Blazer. WIDER ANGLE 53

A large group of armed soldiers start to surround Matrix.

He stands up, cut, bleeding. The lead man approaches to frisk him.

MATRIX 54

Matrix ELBOWS him in the stomach, DRIVES his fist into the man's Adam's apple, PULLS HIM DOWN, CRACKS the man's vertebrae, grabs the dead man's rifle and SLAMS the butt against the face on the man closing on him. The man's jaw SHATTERS.

But three more men are immediately on Matrix and they wrestle him to the ground. “He forces his way up again, the three men still all over him.

Matrix's eyes suddenly WIDEN as he looks at two boots with an attached knife, then up at the man standing in them.

It's Bennett, the man we saw die!

BENNETT
Tranquilizers.

General Arius approaches Matrix.

ARIUS
Remember me, Major?
MATRIX
I remember the people you tortured and killed.
ARIUS
You don't understand a country like Val Verde, Major. It needs a president with an iron hand. It needs my hand again.
MATRIX
Why tell me?

Because you're going to return to Val Verde and kill the president you helped to overthrow me.

While Captain Bennett, left, shall we say, under a cloud...
MATRIX

He enjoyed the killing a little too much.
BENNETT
You trained me, Major.
ARIUS
(to Matrix)

You can get close to Velasquez, you will kill him...We've gone to alot of trouble to find you. We faked Bennett's death so Kirby would get nervous and lead us to you. And now that I have you, you'll do what I tell you.

MATRIX
And if I don't?

Arius looks at Matrix for a beat, then Arius nods to Bennett.

Bennett opens a sliding door to a closet and Matrix sees Jenny.

She is gagged and tied tightly to a chair. She is shaking from fear and her eyes are wet with tears.

Matrix LUNGES up from the table, but his hands and feet are chained to the table and he is STOPPED.

Bennett wheels Jenny out of the closet over to Arius. Arius begins to finger her hair.

ARIUS
So pretty...There are many things I'm going to teach her.

Cont.

Matrix FIGHTS at the chains like a crazy man, but he

can't move.

Arius fingers the shirt collar around her neck.

Beer cans and fast food containers lay open and

the bureau drawers are ajar.

Matrix goes to the suitcase and searches through it. Cindy checks out the bureau drawers.

Matrix finds nothing in the suitcase. He looks under the bed, then moves to the closet and looks inside. It's empty.

There is a SUDDEN LOUD KNOCKING at the front door. Matrix and Cindy IMMEDIATELY LOOK AT EACH OTHER AND FREEZE.

Cooke listens a beat to the running shower.

Cindy looks him up and down, then slouches toward the crack so her breasts push at her blouse. She smiles.

Cooke looks back through the door at her. Matrix, at the inside edge of the door is holding_his gun, ready to fire. Matrix can only see Cindy.

Cindy unlocks the chain and opens the door.

COOKE
Move out of the way.

Cindy moves away from the door. Matrix tenses, ready to attack. Cooke looks into the room at the rumpled bed, suitcase and fast food containers.

The shower SOUNDS continue to echo from the bathroom. Cooke cautiously enters the doorway. WHAM!

Matrix SLAMS the gun against the brawny Cooke's head. Cooke crashes back against the wall, but doesn’t go down. He grabs Matrix's gun hand by the wrist and the two of them STRUGGLE for the gun.

With a sudden SURGE of power, Matrix lifts Cooke off the ground, pushes him toward the wall and the two of them CRASH RIGHT THROUGH THE DOOR into the adjoining

room.

Cooke points the gun right at Matrix's face, pulls back

the trigger, then smiles.

Matrix starts emptying Cooke's pockets. There's a wallet containing only cash. Matrix tosses it to the floor.

Matrix pulls Vega toward the back of the room, SMASHES his Adam's apple, opens a closet, drops the dead Vega

inside, then closes the door.

He moves to the door leading outside the warehouse, opens it and Cindy enters. They begin to whisper.

MATRIX
I saw all the equipment, but there's no plane.
CINDY
What about your daughter?

Matrix shakes his head.

MATRIX
Arius and Bennett aren't here. She's wherever they are.

Matrix looks at Cindy in desperation for a beat, then they begin to look around the room.

The room is designed as the aircraft control room. There are aerial charts on the tables and the walls. There are photos of several military planes and a civilian amphibious plane. There are copies of weather reports Situated around the room and there is a VHF radio.

COORDINATES

Matrix notes a set of military map coordinates penciled onto the side of a chart. They read, 8734-5245; 8142-5938; 7565-5474. A "Scale line" is drawn under the coordinates.

MATRIX

He studies the coordinates, then picks up a drafting compass and pen. He puts three dots, which corresponds to the three sets of coordinates onto a coasted chart of Southern California.

CINDY

Cindy is studying the photos of the aircraft.

Matrix sets the width of the legs of the drafting

compass, then puts the point of one of the compass legs

onto one of the three dots and draws a circle.

Matrix and Cindy glance at each other as FOOTSTEPS go by outside.

They continue to whisper.

CINDY
Type four fuel is amphibian and two hundred fifty gallons is what it would take to fly that plane to the island and back.

Matrix moves to the next aisle, takes another shopping cart and moves down the aisle. He grabs O.D. fatigue pants, an assault-extraction survival vest, a camouflage sweater, black survival boots, and combat knives.

He gives the cart a shove and it rolls crazily down the aisle into the debris. Cindy quickly rolls the cart outside.

Matrix moves to the counter and starts feverishly moving his hands along the underside looking for something.

MATRIX AND BENNETT 400

Suddenly Matrix falls backward to the ground, pulling Bennett with him and FLIPS Bennett over him HARD to the sand.

Matrix jumps up quickly to finish Bennett. Bennett quickly THROWS SAND in Matrix's eyes.

Matrix, blinded, stumbles badly.

Bennett immediately grabs Matrix's knife hand around the wrist, then SINKS his own knife into Matrix's side.

MATRIX
AAAHHH!

Matrix's eyes go glassy, then he drops his knife. Bennett lets Matrix's wrist go, looks at Matrix's glassy eyes for a beat, then he pulls his knife out of Matrix's side.

Matrix STAGGERS for a beat, then STUMBLES a few steps and drops to one knee against the front outside hull of

the boat.

Bennett slowly approaches Matrix from behind, casually feeling the blade of his knife.

He looks at Matrix's wide, unprotected back and Bennett smiles.

Bennett pulls the knife back with his arm, preparing to plunge it into Matrix's back.

No...

Bennett tries desperately to get his knife unstuck from the boat hull, but he can't. Fear FLOODS his eyes.

Matrix moves close to Bennett.

MATRIX
Fuck YOU, asshole...

He DRIVES his knife into Bennett's throat so hard the knife goes through Bennett's neck and comes out the other side.

Still holding the knife, Matrix then DRIVES the knife into the hull of the boat.

The knife STICKS into the hull, holding Bennett's neck there like a thumbtack holds a note on a bulletin board.

BOOM! Suddenly there is another, larger EXPLOSION in

the fiery back of the boat and the whole boat EXPLODES

into FLAMES, leaving Bennett lost in the fireball.

MATRIX AND JENNY 403

Matrix limps away from the flames, Jenny rushes into his arms and he holds her close. She's crying.

Matrix lies down, his head in Jenny's lap, and tries to still his bleeding.

The two copters land. Kirby gets out of one and two medical corpsmen with a stretcher get out of the other.

The corpsmen bring the stretcher to Matrix and gently ease him onto it. They start to carry him as Jenny walks alongside.

KIRBY
I just saw what's left of Arius’ estate...You're the best I've ever known, John...I've saved a place for you if you want to join up with me again.

Matrix notices as Cindy joins Jenny standing next to him. Matrix looks at the two of them, then up at Kirby.

MATRIX
This was the last one...

The corpsmen carry Matrix into the copter and Jenny joins him inside. Kirby and Cindy watch him from outside the chopper. KIRBY What about your identities...

Don't you need two more?

MATRIX
No...

405 Cont. KIRBY (confused) Why not? Matrix looks at Cindy. MATRIX

Two might not be enough...

The chopper wings have started and the chopper is preparing to liftoff.

Matrix and Cindy are looking at each other. The chopper starts to liftoff.

Cindy suddenly RUNS to the chopper and JUMPS in the door as it lifts off.

Matrix puts his arm around her, then he looks back toward Kirby.

Matrix holds up three fingers and smiles.

Kirby waves good-bye as the chopper rises high above the beach and flies out over the ocean.

FADE OUT
