Deadly Prey (1987) - full transcript
Colonel Hogan is a ruthless former military officer who trains a large group of former U.S. Servicement as mercenaries by having them hunt down and kill people they abduct off the streets of Los Angeles. Hogan's greedy financier Michaelson threatens Hogan to speed up the mens training or he will pull the plug on Hogan's training camp. However, Hogan and his men meet their match when their latest kidnap victim turns out to be a tough gung-ho marine named Mike Danton who despite being unarmed and hunted, he manages to decimate Hogan's men in detail. Frustrated Hogan, his tough right-hand man Thornton and personal assistant Sybil kidnap Danton's wife Jaimy to force him in the open, while Jaimy's retired police detective father tries to track down her and Danton who finds an unlikely ally in the form of a former marine buddy named Cooper who wants to help him take on all of Hogan's men.
Son of a bitch, they're
gonna-- they're gonna kill me.
There he is.
I got him.
Come on.
Don't-- don't shoot.
You're dead meat, fat boy.
Come on, you son
of a bitch, huh?
We're getting close.
Help me, somebody.
Help me.
Please, don't kill me.
Please, don't kill me.
Please, don't.
Ple-- please.
Please, don't kill me.
Please, don't kill me.
Don't kill me.
Don't kill me!
Please, please, don't do it.
Please.
No!
He caught me off guard.
It's not going to happen again.
I know.
Colonel Hogan, here
are the recruits.
My name's Hogan,
commander of this outfit.
You'll address me as
Colonel Hogan, nothing else.
Why do you want to be
a part of this outfit?
I like the money.
What about you?
The money.
The same.
And you?
I'm here for the fun.
What's your name, soldier?
Cooper, Jack Cooper, sir.
Now I don't know what you men
heard about this organization.
But if you think it's
gonna be an easy score,
you'd better walk out of
here while you still can.
Colonel Hogan--
Shut up!
Now this ain't the Army.
It ain't the Navy, and it
ain't the Marine Corps.
You'd better get that straight,
'cause I'm one hell of a lot
meaner than any of them.
Now I know you men are good.
That's why you're here.
But you're not good
enough, not yet.
If you want to be
part of this outfit,
you've got to be the
very best at what you do.
You prove that to me,
you'll be the highest
paid mercenaries anywhere.
You don't, you'll
die right here.
I don't have any use for you.
Your training will
start in the morning.
I suggest you get
plenty of rest.
You're going to need it.
We don't play games here.
When we train, it's for real.
That's it.
Get these men in uniform.
Follow me.
How did the exercise go?
Not good, the runner
took out one of our men.
Damn it, we've got a bunch
of damn Girl Scouts out there.
We'll run the exercise
again tomorrow.
Take a couple of the men and go
get another runner, a mean one.
You got it.
How about this guy?
No, he's no good.
Come on, Michael.
It's time to get up.
Michael, come on.
It's almost 8
o'clock, and you're
going to be late for work.
All right, you asked for it.
Now get up.
Just for you.
- You're too good to me.
- I know.
Hurry up.
Your breakfast will get cold.
Hurry up.
This guy looks like
he'd be a lot of fun.
Yeah, he's the one.
Hey, buddy, I was wondering
if you could help me out.
Yeah, what do you need?
My buddy over here made
a wrong turn someplace.
We're looking for Main
and Fourth Street.
Uh, yeah, go straight down
this road till you hit Main.
Take a left.
You should be at
Fourth in about--
Hey, thanks a lot.
What are you doing
here, Michaelson?
The question is, what the
hell are you doing here, Hogan?
We had an agreement.
You pay the bills.
I run the operation.
That's the way it's gonna stay.
I'm a businessman,
Hogan, not a fool.
It takes time to get
the best from these men.
I need at least
three more months.
Three months?
I'll give you one, one month,
at the end of which time,
I want this operation
ready for action.
You got that?
No way, it can't be done.
I need more time.
You're running out of time.
I want this bunch of
misfit mercenaries
ready for action in one
month, not one day more.
Or I'll pull the plug on this
whole operation, and you, too.
Don't threaten me, Michaelson.
You're supposed to be
the best at what you do.
Do it better.
One month.
- Run.
- You're gonna die.
What is it?
The exercise is
underway, Colonel.
Good, maybe this one will
last more than 10 minutes.
Now I'm going to ask
you some questions.
And if you give me
the right answers,
I'm gonna let you live.
Do you understand?
Where are we?
We're 70--
75 miles southeast
of Los Angeles.
What the hell's going on here?
Training, me-- mer--
mercenary training.
What?
The colonel don't
believe in war games.
He likes to use the real thing.
Who is this colonel?
What's his name?
Hogan, Colonel Hogan.
John Hogan?
Yeah, I think so.
How long has
this been going on?
How many people have died?
I-- I don't know.
Wrong answer.
I don't know.
I don't know, really.
I just joined today.
Bad timing.
Colonel, they've
got my weapons.
Kill him.
Daddy.
Daddy, please, come as soon
as you get this message.
They-- someone took Michael.
And I'm afraid that he's hurt.
I don't know what to do, Daddy.
Please, hurry.
I need you.
You two, fan out,
left and right.
Stay here.
You're dead.
Now tell me exactly
what happened.
Go ahead.
OK, Mike went out to take
out the trash this morning,
and I heard a lot of noise.
And so when I went to the
window to see what happened,
I saw this man hit him over the
head with a pipe or something.
And then they dragged him
into the van, and it took off.
You call the police?
No, Daddy.
I know you're retired, but
I wanted to call you first.
And the van, what kind of van?
What color?
Well, I don't know the make.
But it was the kind of
van without the windows,
you know, like a delivery truck.
Um, and it was green.
Was it a light
green, dark green?
Dark green, but it was a funny
kind of green, like army green.
This is very important.
Think hard.
The license plate, the
number, did you get it?
I saw part of it.
Well, any part.
Uh, 2.
2.
4.
4.
7.
7, are you sure?
247?
No.
It was 427.
427?
427.
Jaimy, are you positive?
Mm-hmm.
427.
Daddy, is that enough
to bring Michael back?
Well, we hope so, darling.
I'll run it by the boys
down at the station.
I was on the force
there for 30 years.
I've got a little pull.
I'll come up with something.
Don't worry.
Please, bring him
back to me, Daddy.
Well, I'd better get on it.
I love you, Daddy.
I love you, Jaimy.
One more thing, very important--
when I leave here, keep all
the doors and windows locked.
Don't let anyone in
until you hear from me.
You got that?
Yes.
- Bye.
- Be careful, Daddy.
Colonel Hogan.
- What do you want?
- They're dead.
They're all dead.
What the hell are
you talking about?
The men, they're all dead.
The runner killed them all.
What?
I don't believe it.
It's true, every
damn one of them.
Get the men.
We're moving out.
This guy's a pro.
Split up and move out.
I want this son of a bitch dead.
I know this.
I know this style.
It's my style.
Danton?
Mike Danton, it's got to be.
Yeah, that was the
name on the mailbox.
Why?
You know him?
Know him?
I trained him.
Jack Cooper.
Danton?
Mike Danton?
I'll be damned.
I haven't seen you since
the time you took a bullet
trying to save my life.
What the hell are you
doing with these guys?
Hell, I ain't never
been good at pumping gas.
Find another war, Jack.
Christ.
We're not hunting him.
He's hunting us.
Suck this.
Come on.
Now you're gonna
die, tough boy.
Any sign of him?
Just bodies.
It will be Sunset in an hour.
He's trying to draw us
deeper into the woods.
He wants to catch us
in there after dark.
Let me go after him.
You'll get your
chance, Thornton.
I don't want to lose
any more men tonight.
Let's move it out.
Take as many men
as you need and seal
off a quarter-mile perimeter.
We'll camp here for the night.
Right.
We can't just
let him get away.
He won't do that, not yet.
He knows he's safe here.
He'll take the time,
rest, find some food.
He'll be here in the morning.
Sorry.
You wondering what's
going through his mind?
No, I know what's
going through his mind.
I taught it to him.
He went through our men like
they were just toy soldiers.
Compared to him, they're
not even that good, not yet.
That bastard was the
best goddamn soldier
I ever had under my command.
I'd give anything to have
20 men just like him.
Those bastards, those
stupid, dumb bastards,
I gave them 10 years of my life.
I tried to show
them how to create
the most perfect killers ever.
They wouldn't listen.
They said I was crazy.
Well, war is fucking crazy.
But it worked.
My methods worked.
He's living proof that
my methods worked.
What do I get for it?
Booted out of the Army,
my walking papers,
and a lousy $600-a-month
pension, those stupid bastards.
You created him.
You trained Danton.
You can do it with
the rest of them.
You're damn right
I can, and I will.
I will.
What about Danton?
What about him?
What the hell are
you gonna do with him?
First, I want to talk to him.
What?
Then I'll kill the son of a
bitch with my own two hands.
Good.
Get me another beer.
Now!
It's over, Hogan.
Get your men out of
here and crawl back
into the hole you came out of.
You're playing a game
that you can't win.
Don't try.
Don't try, or I swear to God,
I'll kill every one of you.
You know I can.
You made me the best.
Well, I still am.
I still am.
Danton!
Wake up, boy.
Now hold on, boy.
Don't go jumping
up all half-cocked.
Just lower that knife
down real slow-like.
I believe you better
do as Will says.
Now wait don't you get up and
go before I get a mind to fill
your behind full of birdshot?
Go on.
Git.
Damn fool, running around in
the woods with no clothes on.
Will, that boy has
been eating rats.
Don't surprise me none.
Them city folks
will eat anything.
Let's move it out.
What the hell's going on here?
Shut up.
Was that your fire back there?
Who the hell wants to know?
Was that
your fire back there?
No, it wasn't ours.
Where is he?
Where is he?
I ain't saying.
Your turn.
How far?
About 10 minutes ago.
Move out.
End of story.
Lieutenant, I
want that man alive.
Lieutenant.
Danton.
Danton!
A colonel is talking
to you, mister.
Kiss my ass.
Kiss this.
Got women doing your fighting
for you nowadays, huh, John?
That doesn't sound
like your style.
Then again, she ain't much
of a woman, though, is she?
That's enough.
Leave us alone.
Hey, I'll see you again.
Fuck you.
I'll get right to the point.
Yeah, why don't you do that?
I want you to join me.
You've got one damn
strange way of showing it.
That was an accident.
They didn't know who
they were grabbing.
And I'm sure they didn't care.
They were just
following orders.
How many, John?
What?
How many innocent
people have you
drug off the streets to kill
playing your little games?
Does it matter?
It does to me.
Get off it, Danton.
You know as well as
I do, you can't train
fighting men without an enemy.
You trained me.
You were different.
You were one in a thousand.
There's a lot of
money out there,
Danton, a lot of
would-be dictators,
just willing to pay any
price for my services,
millions just waiting
to be plucked.
And you, you're worth 10
times more to me than any man
I have, with the possible
exception of Lieutenant
Thornton, of course.
What happened to you, Hogan?
What really happened to you?
How does a man go from being--
being the highest decorated
officer in the special
forces to becoming
some goddamn,
bloodsucking mercenary?
That was their army.
This one's mine, all mine.
And I can write the price tag.
Blood money.
It's all green.
Right.
I trained you, Danton.
You owe me.
I paid my dues in the war.
I owe you nothing.
Join me, damn it.
No way.
I'm gonna give you a little
time to rethink your situation,
Danton, very little time.
Hogan, I made you
a promise last night.
I'm going to keep it.
You're gonna lose.
I want to talk to you.
I don't have time for this
garbage now, Michaelson.
You gave me one month.
Come back then.
You just sit down, shut
up, and listen to me, mister.
You've gone too far.
It's out of control.
I'll take care of it.
Just get the hell out of here.
You'll take care of it?
How?
When?
I'll take care of it.
I have the man here right now.
You do that.
Now I don't care if
you crack a few heads
and break a few bones.
That's business.
I understand that.
But save the killing
for overseas.
I know what I'm
doing here, Michaelson.
I know it better
than any man alive.
Then you find a
way to do it better,
because I'm not sinking millions
of dollars into an operation
so you can go off on
some personal vendetta
and implicate me in
murder and kidnapping.
Don't be stupid, Hogan.
If I go, the operation goes,
and that's not my game plan.
So take care of this
Danton character
and go back to business.
Thirsty?
Bitch.
Danton!
Assemble the men.
Let's move it out.
We're going after him.
And this time, kill him.
Freeze, asshole.
Don't even think about it.
Nice shot.
Looked like you
needed a little help.
You cut my ropes
back at the tent.
Yeah, well, just don't
let it get around, huh?
You saved my life once in 'Nam.
I figure this makes us even.
I guess it does.
Next time, it might
have to be different.
I know.
Go on.
Get the hell out of here.
Damn him.
I found his rifle
laying up there,
no sign of the son of a bitch.
He's long gone by now.
Somehow, I have
to stop that man.
We've got to get to him before
he gets to the authorities.
He won't do that.
What makes you so sure?
Why the hell should he?
He doesn't need any damn help.
He's killing all
my men by himself.
I know where he lives.
Take care of it.
Get back.
Get back.
What is this?
Who are you?
Who am I?
A little man who spent 27
years of his life as a cop,
trying to put big
shots like you away,
27 years in the filth and
the dirt of the street,
and there ain't no
music down there.
You watch the people in
the streets killing, raping
each other, pumping
dope through their veins
while big men like you sit
in the fancy penthouses.
And yet the poor
slobs rot in hell.
I know about you, as long as
it puts money in your pocket.
Today, the nobodies who
made you rich are gonna win.
Die, you son of a bitch.
So this is Mrs. Mike Danton.
Well, well.
Leave us.
Your husband's caused me a great
deal of trouble, Mrs. Danton,
a great deal of trouble.
He and I were once
friends, good friends.
But he's made me
angry, very angry.
And I'm afraid,
Mrs. Danton, you're
going to have to
suffer the consequences
of your husband's actions.
He'll kill you.
That may very well be.
But right now, I'm
going to hurt him worse
than he could ever hurt me.
Halt. Friend or enemy?
I'm a friend.
You're a liar.
I got a present for ya.
Who the hell are you?
Daddy.
Jaimy, what have
they done to you?
He raped me, Daddy.
You son of a bitch.
Get him the hell out of here.
Where is she?
Worried about
your little wife?
She better be alive.
Maybe she is.
I should kill you right now.
Yeah, you should, but you
won't, not if you want to see
your pretty, little wife again.
It's for you.
Yeah.
I got your woman here,
Danton, real nice, little thing,
and so soft.
Hogan, if you hurt
her, I swear to Go--
Shut up, Danton.
What do you want, Hogan?
You know what I want.
I want you, dead.
Here's the deal.
I get you, and she
goes free, not before.
Let me talk to her.
What's the matter, Danton?
Don't you trust me?
How do I know
she's still alive?
You don't.
Now make a decision.
You have three seconds.
When and where?
Sybil will bring you.
And don't try anything
stupid, Danton.
Or I swear to God, I'll
tear her fucking heart
out with my own hands.
Is that clear?
Very.
It'll be over soon, real soon.
I'm gonna love
watching you die.
Fuck you.
Looks to me like
you're planting
one hell of a surprise party.
What do you want now, Cooper?
I don't want anything.
Have it.
What now?
You tell me.
I came to help.
Why?
'Cause I don't like
what they're doing here.
Besides you're probably
gonna kill them all, anyway.
I like being on
the winning side.
It's a lot healthier.
Come on.
Let's kick some ass.
Any sign of him yet?
No.
Double the guard on Danton's wife.
Tell them to stay alert.
You got it.
Freeze.
Don't move.
- Hey.
- Cooper.
What do you say, guys?
How you doing?
You got a light?
Yeah.
How's it going, buddy?
Mike.
Jaimy, baby, baby, look.
I'm sorry, baby.
In here, come on.
Let's move it.
Move it.
Come on.
We're gonna get out of here.
Everything's gonna be OK.
Come on.
Here's a present for you, pal.
Stay here.
Danton.
What the hell was that?
It's my calling card.
I want you to stay
here until I come back for you.
Do you understand?
Don't move.
Don't make a sound.
No matter what you here,
just stay here, OK?
OK, please,
come back to me.
Split up.
Jesus Christ.
Come on.
Come on.
Somebody!
Goddamn it!
Move out.
Move out.
What about him?
Fuck him.
Move, move, move, move!
Come on.
Move out.
Come on.
Move out.
Go.
Come on.
Move it.
They've got us pinned down.
Shut up.
Move it.
Move.
Danton.
Colonel, got a present for you.
Now he's gonna die.
Danton!
Danton!
I got your wife, Danton.
It's all over.
Come on out, or I'll blow
her fucking brains out.
Do you hear me, Danton?
Danton.
I'm gonna kill her, Danton.
Danton, you got 10 seconds
to show your face, Danton.
Danton!
Danton, she's gonna die.
Danton, come on
out, you bastard.
Hogan!
Don't do it, Cooper.
I'll kill her, I swear to God.
I don't think so.
Go ahead and kill me, traitor.
You fucked up.
Get her!
Bitch.
No!
That's what's left
of your best man.
Go ahead.
Get it over with.
Get up.
Get up!
Your shirt, take it off.
What?
Take off your shirt, before
I cut you out from under it.
Take off your shoes.
Take off your shoes!
Run.
No.
No, you can't do this.
Run, now!
gonna-- they're gonna kill me.
There he is.
I got him.
Come on.
Don't-- don't shoot.
You're dead meat, fat boy.
Come on, you son
of a bitch, huh?
We're getting close.
Help me, somebody.
Help me.
Please, don't kill me.
Please, don't kill me.
Please, don't.
Ple-- please.
Please, don't kill me.
Please, don't kill me.
Don't kill me.
Don't kill me!
Please, please, don't do it.
Please.
No!
He caught me off guard.
It's not going to happen again.
I know.
Colonel Hogan, here
are the recruits.
My name's Hogan,
commander of this outfit.
You'll address me as
Colonel Hogan, nothing else.
Why do you want to be

You'd better get that straight,
'cause I'm one hell of a lot
meaner than any of them.
Now I know you men are good.
That's why you're here.
But you're not good
enough, not yet.
If you want to be
part of this outfit,
you've got to be the
very best at what you do.
You prove that to me,
you'll be the highest
paid mercenaries anywhere.
You don't, you'll

I don't have any use for you.
Your training will
start in the morning.
I suggest you get
plenty of rest.
You're going to need it.
We don't play games here.
When we train, it's for real.
That's it.
Get these men in uniform.
Follow me.
How did the exercise go?
Not good, the runner
took out one of our men.
Damn it, we've got a bunch
of damn Girl Scouts out there.
We'll run the exercise
again tomorrow.
Take a couple of the men and go
get another runner, a mean one.
You got it.
How about this guy?
No, he's no good.
Come on, Michael.
It's time to get up.
Michael, come on.
It's almost 8
o'clock, and you're
going to be late for work.
All right, you asked for it.
Now get up.
Just for you.
- You're too good to me.
- I know.
Hurry up.
Your breakfast will get cold.
Hurry up.
This guy looks like
he'd be a lot of fun.
Yeah, he's the one.
Hey, buddy, I was wondering
if you could help me out.
Yeah, what do you need?
My buddy over here made
a wrong turn someplace.
We're looking for Main
and Fourth Street.
Uh, yeah, go straight down
this road till you hit Main.
Take a left.
You should be at
Fourth in about--
Hey, thanks a lot.
What are you doing
here, Michaelson?
The question is, what the
hell are you doing here, Hogan?
We had an agreement.
You pay the bills.
I run the operation.
That's the way it's gonna stay.
I'm a businessman,
Hogan, not a fool.
It takes time to get
the best from these men.
I need at least
three more months.
Three months?
I'll give you one, one month,
at the end of which time,
I want this operation
ready for action.
You got that?
No way, it can't be done.
I need more time.
You're running out of time.
I want this bunch of
misfit mercenaries
ready for action in one
month, not one day more.
Or I'll pull the plug on this
whole operation, and you, too.
Don't threaten me, Michaelson.
You're supposed to be
the best at what you do.
Do it better.
One month.
- Run.
- You're gonna die.
What is it?
The exercise is
underway, Colonel.
Good, maybe this one will
last more than 10 minutes.
Now I'm going to ask
you some questions.
And if you give me
the right answers,
I'm gonna let you live.
Do you understand?
Where are we?
We're 70--
75 miles southeast
of Los Angeles.
What the hell's going on here?
Training, me-- mer--
mercenary training.
What?
The colonel don't
believe in war games.
He likes to use the real thing.
Who is this colonel?
What's his name?
Hogan, Colonel Hogan.
John Hogan?
Yeah, I think so.
How long has
this been going on?
How many people have died?
I-- I don't know.
Wrong answer.
I don't know.
I don't know, really.
I just joined today.
Bad timing.
Colonel, they've
got my weapons.
Kill him.
Daddy.
Daddy, please, come as soon
as you get this message.
They-- someone took Michael.
And I'm afraid that he's hurt.
I don't know what to do, Daddy.
Please, hurry.
I need you.
You two, fan out,
left and right.
Stay here.
You're dead.
Now tell me exactly
what happened.
Go ahead.
OK, Mike went out to take
out the trash this morning,
and I heard a lot of noise.
And so when I went to the
window to see what happened,
I saw this man hit him over the
head with a pipe or something.
And then they dragged him
into the van, and it took off.
You call the police?
No, Daddy.
I know you're retired, but
I wanted to call you first.
And the van, what kind of van?
What color?
Well, I don't know the make.
But it was the kind of
van without the windows,
you know, like a delivery truck.
Um, and it was green.
Was it a light
green, dark green?
Dark green, but it was a funny
kind of green, like army green.
This is very important.
Think hard.
The license plate, the
number, did you get it?
I saw part of it.
Well, any part.
Uh, 2.
2.
4.
4.
7.
7, are you sure?
247?
No.
It was 427.
427?
427.
Jaimy, are you positive?
Mm-hmm.
427.
Daddy, is that enough
to bring Michael back?
Well, we hope so, darling.
I'll run it by the boys
down at the station.
I was on the force
there for 30 years.
I've got a little pull.
I'll come up with something.
Don't worry.
Please, bring him
back to me, Daddy.
Well, I'd better get on it.
I love you, Daddy.
I love you, Jaimy.
One more thing, very important--
when I leave here, keep all
the doors and windows locked.
Don't let anyone in
until you hear from me.
You got that?
Yes.
- Bye.
- Be careful, Daddy.
Colonel Hogan.
- What do you want?
- They're dead.
They're all dead.
What the hell are
you talking about?
The men, they're all dead.
The runner killed them all.
What?
I don't believe it.
It's true, every
damn one of them.
Get the men.
We're moving out.
This guy's a pro.
Split up and move out.
I want this son of a bitch dead.
I know this.
I know this style.
It's my style.
Danton?
Mike Danton, it's got to be.
Yeah, that was the
name on the mailbox.
Why?
You know him?
Know him?
I trained him.
Jack Cooper.
Danton?
Mike Danton?
I'll be damned.
I haven't seen you since
the time you took a bullet
trying to save my life.
What the hell are you
doing with these guys?
Hell, I ain't never
been good at pumping gas.
Find another war, Jack.
Christ.
We're not hunting him.
He's hunting us.
Suck this.
Come on.
Now you're gonna
die, tough boy.
Any sign of him?
Just bodies.
It will be Sunset in an hour.
He's trying to draw us
deeper into the woods.
He wants to catch us
in there after dark.
Let me go after him.
You'll get your
chance, Thornton.
I don't want to lose
any more men tonight.
Let's move it out.
Take as many men
as you need and seal
off a quarter-mile perimeter.
We'll camp here for the night.
Right.
We can't just
let him get away.
He won't do that, not yet.
He knows he's safe here.
He'll take the time,
rest, find some food.
He'll be here in the morning.
Sorry.
You wondering what's
going through his mind?
No, I know what's
going through his mind.
I taught it to him.
He went through our men like
they were just toy soldiers.
Compared to him, they're
not even that good, not yet.
That bastard was the
best goddamn soldier
I ever had under my command.
I'd give anything to have
20 men just like him.
Those bastards, those
stupid, dumb bastards,
I gave them 10 years of my life.
I tried to show
them how to create
the most perfect killers ever.
They wouldn't listen.
They said I was crazy.
Well, war is fucking crazy.
But it worked.
My methods worked.
He's living proof that
my methods worked.
What do I get for it?
Booted out of the Army,
my walking papers,
and a lousy $600-a-month
pension, those stupid bastards.
You created him.
You trained Danton.
You can do it with
the rest of them.
You're damn right
I can, and I will.
I will.
What about Danton?
What about him?
What the hell are
you gonna do with him?
First, I want to talk to him.
What?
Then I'll kill the son of a
bitch with my own two hands.
Good.
Get me another beer.
Now!
It's over, Hogan.
Get your men out of
here and crawl back
into the hole you came out of.
You're playing a game
that you can't win.
Don't try.
Don't try, or I swear to God,
I'll kill every one of you.
You know I can.
You made me the best.
Well, I still am.
I still am.
Danton!
Wake up, boy.
Now hold on, boy.
Don't go jumping
up all half-cocked.
Just lower that knife
down real slow-like.
I believe you better
do as Will says.
Now wait don't you get up and
go before I get a mind to fill
your behind full of birdshot?
Go on.
Git.
Damn fool, running around in
the woods with no clothes on.
Will, that boy has
been eating rats.
Don't surprise me none.
Them city folks
will eat anything.
Let's move it out.
What the hell's going on here?
Shut up.
Was that your fire back there?
Who the hell wants to know?
Was that
your fire back there?
No, it wasn't ours.
Where is he?
Where is he?
I ain't saying.
Your turn.
How far?
About 10 minutes ago.
Move out.
End of story.
Lieutenant, I
want that man alive.
Lieutenant.
Danton.
Danton!
A colonel is talking
to you, mister.
Kiss my ass.
Kiss this.
Got women doing your fighting
for you nowadays, huh, John?
That doesn't sound
like your style.
Then again, she ain't much
of a woman, though, is she?
That's enough.
Leave us alone.
Hey, I'll see you again.
Fuck you.
I'll get right to the point.
Yeah, why don't you do that?
I want you to join me.
You've got one damn
strange way of showing it.
That was an accident.
They didn't know who
they were grabbing.
And I'm sure they didn't care.
They were just
following orders.
How many, John?
What?
How many innocent
people have you
drug off the streets to kill
playing your little games?
Does it matter?
It does to me.
Get off it, Danton.
You know as well as
I do, you can't train
fighting men without an enemy.
You trained me.
You were different.
You were one in a thousand.
There's a lot of
money out there,
Danton, a lot of
would-be dictators,
just willing to pay any
price for my services,
millions just waiting
to be plucked.
And you, you're worth 10
times more to me than any man
I have, with the possible
exception of Lieutenant
Thornton, of course.
What happened to you, Hogan?
What really happened to you?
How does a man go from being--
being the highest decorated
officer in the special
forces to becoming
some goddamn,
bloodsucking mercenary?
That was their army.
This one's mine, all mine.
And I can write the price tag.
Blood money.
It's all green.
Right.
I trained you, Danton.
You owe me.
I paid my dues in the war.
I owe you nothing.
Join me, damn it.
No way.
I'm gonna give you a little
time to rethink your situation,
Danton, very little time.
Hogan, I made you
a promise last night.
I'm going to keep it.
You're gonna lose.
I want to talk to you.
I don't have time for this
garbage now, Michaelson.
You gave me one month.
Come back then.
You just sit down, shut
up, and listen to me, mister.
You've gone too far.
It's out of control.
I'll take care of it.
Just get the hell out of here.
You'll take care of it?
How?
When?
I'll take care of it.
I have the man here right now.
You do that.
Now I don't care if
you crack a few heads
and break a few bones.
That's business.
I understand that.
But save the killing
for overseas.
I know what I'm
doing here, Michaelson.
I know it better
than any man alive.
Then you find a
way to do it better,
because I'm not sinking millions
of dollars into an operation
so you can go off on
some personal vendetta
and implicate me in
murder and kidnapping.
Don't be stupid, Hogan.
If I go, the operation goes,
and that's not my game plan.
So take care of this
Danton character
and go back to business.
Thirsty?
Bitch.
Danton!
Assemble the men.
Let's move it out.
We're going after him.
And this time, kill him.
Freeze, asshole.
Don't even think about it.
Nice shot.
Looked like you
needed a little help.
You cut my ropes
back at the tent.
Yeah, well, just don't
let it get around, huh?
You saved my life once in 'Nam.
I figure this makes us even.
I guess it does.
Next time, it might
have to be different.
I know.
Go on.
Get the hell out of here.
Damn him.
I found his rifle
laying up there,
no sign of the son of a bitch.
He's long gone by now.
Somehow, I have
to stop that man.
We've got to get to him before
he gets to the authorities.
He won't do that.
What makes you so sure?
Why the hell should he?
He doesn't need any damn help.
He's killing all
my men by himself.
I know where he lives.
Take care of it.
Get back.
Get back.
What is this?
Who are you?
Who am I?
A little man who spent 27
years of his life as a cop,
trying to put big
shots like you away,
27 years in the filth and
the dirt of the street,
and there ain't no
music down there.
You watch the people in
the streets killing, raping
each other, pumping
dope through their veins
while big men like you sit
in the fancy penthouses.
And yet the poor
slobs rot in hell.
I know about you, as long as
it puts money in your pocket.
Today, the nobodies who
made you rich are gonna win.
Die, you son of a bitch.
So this is Mrs. Mike Danton.
Well, well.
Leave us.
Your husband's caused me a great
deal of trouble, Mrs. Danton,
a great deal of trouble.
He and I were once
friends, good friends.
But he's made me
angry, very angry.
And I'm afraid,
Mrs. Danton, you're
going to have to
suffer the consequences
of your husband's actions.
He'll kill you.
That may very well be.
But right now, I'm
going to hurt him worse
than he could ever hurt me.
Halt. Friend or enemy?
I'm a friend.
You're a liar.
I got a present for ya.
Who the hell are you?
Daddy.
Jaimy, what have
they done to you?
He raped me, Daddy.
You son of a bitch.
Get him the hell out of here.
Where is she?
Worried about
your little wife?
She better be alive.
Maybe she is.
I should kill you right now.
Yeah, you should, but you
won't, not if you want to see
your pretty, little wife again.
It's for you.
Yeah.
I got your woman here,
Danton, real nice, little thing,
and so soft.
Hogan, if you hurt
her, I swear to Go--
Shut up, Danton.
What do you want, Hogan?
You know what I want.
I want you, dead.
Here's the deal.
I get you, and she
goes free, not before.
Let me talk to her.
What's the matter, Danton?
Don't you trust me?
How do I know
she's still alive?
You don't.
Now make a decision.
You have three seconds.
When and where?
Sybil will bring you.
And don't try anything
stupid, Danton.
Or I swear to God, I'll
tear her fucking heart
out with my own hands.
Is that clear?
Very.
It'll be over soon, real soon.
I'm gonna love
watching you die.
Fuck you.
Looks to me like
you're planting
one hell of a surprise party.
What do you want now, Cooper?
I don't want anything.
Have it.
What now?
You tell me.
I came to help.
Why?
'Cause I don't like
what they're doing here.
Besides you're probably
gonna kill them all, anyway.
I like being on
the winning side.
It's a lot healthier.
Come on.
Let's kick some ass.
Any sign of him yet?
No.
Double the guard on Danton's wife.
Tell them to stay alert.
You got it.
Freeze.
Don't move.
- Hey.
- Cooper.
What do you say, guys?
How you doing?
You got a light?
Yeah.
How's it going, buddy?
Mike.
Jaimy, baby, baby, look.
I'm sorry, baby.
In here, come on.
Let's move it.
Move it.
Come on.
We're gonna get out of here.
Everything's gonna be OK.
Come on.
Here's a present for you, pal.
Stay here.
Danton.
What the hell was that?
It's my calling card.
I want you to stay
here until I come back for you.
Do you understand?
Don't move.
Don't make a sound.
No matter what you here,
just stay here, OK?
OK, please,
come back to me.
Split up.
Jesus Christ.
Come on.
Come on.
Somebody!
Goddamn it!
Move out.
Move out.
What about him?
Fuck him.
Move, move, move, move!
Come on.
Move out.
Come on.
Move out.
Go.
Come on.
Move it.
They've got us pinned down.
Shut up.
Move it.
Move.
Danton.
Colonel, got a present for you.
Now he's gonna die.
Danton!
Danton!
I got your wife, Danton.
It's all over.
Come on out, or I'll blow
her fucking brains out.
Do you hear me, Danton?
Danton.
I'm gonna kill her, Danton.
Danton, you got 10 seconds
to show your face, Danton.
Danton!
Danton, she's gonna die.
Danton, come on
out, you bastard.
Hogan!
Don't do it, Cooper.
I'll kill her, I swear to God.
I don't think so.
Go ahead and kill me, traitor.
You fucked up.
Get her!
Bitch.
No!
That's what's left
of your best man.
Go ahead.
Get it over with.
Get up.
Get up!
Your shirt, take it off.
What?
Take off your shirt, before
I cut you out from under it.
Take off your shoes.
Take off your shoes!
Run.
No.
No, you can't do this.
Run, now!
