Chapter One: Dirty Business

EXT. GUATAMALAN JUNGLE - PLANTATION - EVENING

The plantation is an old concrete REFINERY surrounded by razor wire fences, within the jungle, vast with exotic wildlife. Agent ELLIS, youthful, wears woodland camo fatigues, sits on his knees with his hands tied behind his back, bleeding from the mouth.

Two SOLDIERS wearing woodland camo stand over Ellis. One punches Ellis in the face, dropping Ellis to his face in dirt. The second soldier grabs Ellis by the vest and pulls him back up while the first soldier raises his arm up for another punch.

MAN (O.S)
Enough.

The soldier stops and steps aside as a MAN and WOMAN approach Ellis. The woman, MARA ARAMOV, (30) Russian, wears a black tank top and woodland camo pants, carries a MAKAROV. She approaches Ellis from behind and points the gun to the back of his head.

The man, ERICH RHOEMER, (35) black, wears woodland camo with a green kevlar vest and red beret, stands over Ellis smirking as he cups his hands together.

RHOEMER
Ellis, what did you think the outcome of your actions
would be? That we wouldn't discover what you really
were? That...the agency would come in time to kill me
and shut down my operations here?

ELLIS
(groggy)
Something like that.

Rhoemer tilts his head back and chuckles.

RHOEMER
Ohh dear young Ellis, you've never ceased to
amuse me. What's even better is that you honestly
believed you had a chance in stopping me. But here's
the thing...

Rhoemer leans toward Ellis, who grits his bloody teeth at Rhoemer.

RHOEMER (con't)
When all is said and done, you're just a scared little
boy surrounded by those far out of your league.

Ellis spits blood at Rhoemer's face, his grin immediately dies away. Rhoemer rises to his feet and wipes the blood from his face. He nods his head and delivers a swift punch right to Ellis' jaw, knocking him down as Rhoemer grabs Ellis back up and punches him again.

Rhoemer grabs Ellis by the throat and brings him face to face with Rhoemer, squeezing tightly on Ellis' throat as Ellis begins to gasp for air. Rhoemer looks at Ellis briefly and shakes his head, letting him go as Ellis breaths heavily.

RHOEMER
Like I said, a scared little boy.

ELLIS
The others WILL come, Rhoemer!

RHOEMER
Of course they will, in fact, I'd expect them rather soon.
But you see, here's the thing; when the agency DOES finally
get here, there won't be anything left.

Rhoemer tilts his head over his shoulder.

RHOEMER (con't)
Anton?

The sound of metal clanking with armor RINGS out as ANTON GIRDEUX,(27) French, wears full body armor with a WIELDERS MASK atop his head, carries a large FUEL TANK on his back equipped with a live FLAME THROWER with fire burning from the calibur, approaches the area.

RHOEMER
Torch the fields of all the remaining plants, I don't want a SHRED of the plants left when the agency arrives.

GIRDEUX
(French accent)
No problem.

Girdeux lowers his mask over his face and fires his flame thrower at the field, the various flowers and plants are set aflame.

RHOEMER
(To Ellis)
Like I said, NOTHING will be left. The plantation is already
set on a timer to blow, the plants are being incincerated, and...well, let's just say they won't be here in time for you either.

Rhoemer grins and walks away.

ELLIS
(shouts)
You go to hell, Rhoemer!

RHOEMER
Not before you.

Rhoemer stops and turns to Mara. Mara nods, Rhoemer returns the nod and walks away. Mara cocks her makarov and points it back to Ellis' head.

MARA
(Russian accent)
Such a shame, you were so handsome too.

EXT. GUATAMALAN JUNGLE - JUNGLE TRAIL - NIGHT

Several AGENCY OPERATIVES, wearing woodland camo and flak jackets wander down a dirt trail in the jungle. A female operative, LIAN XING,(28) Asian, wears woodland camo and a flak jacket over a black tank top, approaches the commander, GABE LOGAN,(34) gruff, has a 5 o'clock shadow.

LIAN
How much longer til the insersion point?

LOGAN
Should be 20 yards from here according to Ellis' coordina-

A loud EXPLOSION booms out, everyone looks forward and runs toward the sound of the explosion.

EXT. GUATAMALAN JUNGLE - PLANTATION

Logan, Lian and the others arrive to the plantation, which is now in flames. The concrete plantation lies in several concrete pieces of RUBBLE with fire rushing from inside of it. Lian and other operatives scatter around the area investigation.

Logan looks around and grits his teeth angrily. His expression changes to one of concern as he runs toward a BODY face first in the dirt. Logan tilts the body over on its' back, revealing it to be Ellis, now with a bullethole in his forehead.

LOGAN
Son of a bitch...
(To Lian)
I found Ellis...

Lian approaches Logan and looks down on Ellis' body, an expression of surprise over her face.

LOGAN
(Attention on Ellis' body)
What did you find?

LIAN
Nothing, plants have all been torched, and the plantation
refineries' been blown. Whatever Rhoemer was doing here,
he REALLY didn't want us finding out about it.

LOGAN
How the hell did Rhoemer find out about our arrival?
About Ellis? It doesn't make sense...

LIAN
There's something else, these plants Rhoemer torched,
we were able to salvage some of them, whatever was left
of them anyway that weren't torched. But...Gabe these
aren't the kind of plants you'd use to make narcatics...
whatever Rhoemer had planned here, it wasn't a drug operation.

LOGAN
What the hell was he growing here then?

Chapter Two: Dark Nightfall

INT. AGENCY COMMAND - WASHINGTON D.C.

A darkened office with a window view side of the White House. THOMAS MARKINSON,(53) balding in the front, wears SHADES and a black suit, sits in a large LEATHER CHAIR in front of a large DESK. Several STAMPED DOCUMENTS lay on front.

The door opens, as EDWARD BENTON,(43) black, tall, wears SHADES and a suit identical to Markinsons', approaches the front of the desk.

BENTON
Logan's report is clearing up, but there's still nothing
yet to be determined based on what Rhoemer was really growing
in Guatamala.

MARKINSON
Logan may be on the tail but he may not be enough to catch
him on time. Deploy two more teams to this op, we have to
find Rhoemer.

BENTON
I'll assign Jenkins' team and Hunter's team on it right
away. Have you informed the President?

MARKINSON
Yes, yes, he's getting ready to issue the terror threat red
speech as we speak. Now get to it.

Benton nods and exits the room. Markinson leans forward and rubs his forehead, turning to his left, revealing a MAN IN THE SHADOWS standing in the corner.

The man heads toward the door, the dim lights conceal his face in the shadows.

MARKINSON
Logan's my best agent, sooner or later, he's bound to
find out....so what do we do?

MAN
Nothing, let him play along with his hunt for Rhoemer, let him
see what he can uncover, he won't find a thing.

The man exits the room as Markinson turns his leather chair around, facing the window.

EXT. MOUNTAIN TOP - DAY

A vast snow covered mountain near a mountain village, a blizzard blows snow down on the entire area. Logan, Lian and several other AGENTS stand in the area wearing yellow biohazard suits.

LOGAN
Damn, our WH contact was right, EVERYONE within a hundred meters of the area is dead.

LIAN
What happened to all these people? I just don't understand.

Agent ARTHUR JENKINS,(32) wears yellow biohazard suit, has a light 5 o'clock shadow, approaches Logan and Lian.

JENKINS
Gabe, Lian, you guys need to see this.

Jenkins heads toward the village, Logan and Lian both follow.

EXT. MOUNTAIN VILLAGE

An old fashion Korean village, numerous lay dead in the snow, several agents hold biohazard RADIATION DETECTORS which all BEEP rapidly.

Jenkins leads Logan and Lian to a CAUCASIAN MAN on a stretcher being taken to a HELICOPTER. Jenkins signals to the men carrying the man and they stop. Jenkins, Logan and Lian approach the man.

JENKINS
My team found this man in the central village, centered within the viral outbreak area. His body was surrounded with other villagers, all of them were dead, all but this man.

LOGAN
What the hell...?

LIAN
What's so different about this man from everyone else around here?

JENKINS
Nothing, other than the fact that he's American. That doesn't add up though...

LOGAN
Have there been any cases of a virus not affecting people because of genes or ethnicity?

JENKINS
Not that I know of, hopefully EPA can get an analysis on this guy, we're extracting him now, you guys gonna be much longer?

LOGAN
Our team will head out in an hour, I want to investigate a little further.

JENKINS
You're the boss.

Jenkins joins the other agents in carrying the man into an agency HELICOPTER. The helicopter flies off, Logan and Lian turn to one another.

LOGAN
What the hell was in those plants in Guatamala...?

Logan shakes his head and exhales, he approaches the village, Lian follows.

EXT. GEORGIA STREET - WASHINGTON - NIGHT

Several condos and restaurants stand down Georgia Street, at the end of the street is WASHINGTON PARK. Several CITIZENS walk down the street. A black van turns from the Park intersection and stops in the middle of the street.

The van doors open, out come several TERRORISTS armed with M41 ASSAULT RIFLES and 9.MM's. The terrorists scatter around the street and fire their weapons. Citizens flee from the area, some are killed.

Another terrorist, PAVEL KRAVITCH,(35) Russian, wears black field gear, a flak jacket, and a balvcara mask and goggles, exits the van, with two other terrorists. Kravitch speaks to them in Russian.

KRAVITCH
(English sub-titles)
Be careful with the comm equipment or I'll have your head.

The terrorists nod as they both carry out a COMMUNICATIONS TRANSPONDER. Kravitch looks to his right and sees LEWIS' BAR & GRILL. Kravitch points to the bar and speaks to the terrorists in Russian.

KRAVITCH
(English sub-titles)
Take it in there.

Kravitch and the terrorists head for the bar.

CUT TO:

EXT. GEORGIA DISTRICT - NIGHT

Several CBDC VANS pull into the district. Numerous CBDC AGENTS wearing yellow biohazard suits come running out armed with M4 CARBINES, firing at the terrorists.

Two CBDC Vans block Georgia Street creatig a road block as the agents inside run out, with them are Agency operatives, led by Jenkins, all wearing local camo field gear. Jenkins draws a TACTICAL SHOTGUN from his back and runs to the field with the other agents.

JENKINS
(shouts)
Move now!

Jenkins and the agents fire their weapons at the terrorists, several are gunned down, a stray bullet hits Jenkins in the arm, forcing him back as he returns fire.

CUT TO:

EXT. GEORGIA STREET

The terrorists fire at the CBDC agents, killing several as the Agency operatives head towards the main section of the street. Jenkins and his team head towards the terrorists' main vans.

A red blinking light appears near the black vans.

Girdeux and several other terrorists enter the street battle from the park, along with him, JORGE MARCOS,(31) Columbian, wears a flak jacket under black field gear.

GIRDEUX
(French accent)
Take down all ze CBDC pigs,
(To Marcos)
Jorge, ze van?

MARCOS
(Latin accent)
Got it.

Marcos takes out a REMOTE from his pocket and pulls the antenna up. Marcos points it to the van and clicks a button on the remote.

The van explodes, taking with it several agency ops, knocking down several other agents and Jenkins.

GIRDEUX
(accent)
Set up ze main viral explosive in ze memorial center,
(Pulls down wielders mask)
I'll finish zem off...

Marcos grins and heads back to the park while Girdeux approaches Jenkins and his men, his flamethrower lit.

Jenkins groans in pain, rising to his feet as Girdeux approaches him and his men.

JENKINS
Girdeux!

GIRDEUX
(accent)
Arthur..

Jenkins and the agents point their guns at Girdeux and fire. Bullets fire into Girdeux, forcing him back, but his body armor catches the bullets, protecting him as he laughs in an arrogant manner and points his flame thrower at Jenkins and his team.

GIRDEUX
Au Revoir...

Jenkins face expresses to terror as Girdeux fires at Jenkins and the agnets. Jenkins dives out of the way as the agents are caught in Girdeux's fire, burning to death. Jenkins runs towards a truck parked near the street as more CBDC agents head down the street and spot Girdeux and the terrorists.

Jenkins looks to his right and sees a dead CBDC agent next to him. He grabs the MP5N near the body. He lifts his gun over his shoulder and fires at Girdeux. Girdeux just laughs.

INT. AGENCY COMMAND - WASHINGTON D.C.

Markinson sits in his leather chair in front of his desk as Benton approaches Logan and Lian.

BENTON
One hour ago, we received word that Rhoemer was in Washington, then his men attacked the Georgia District.

LOGAN
Why would Rhoemer attack there of all places?

BENTON
Georgia District is central to Washington's market economy, Rhoemer plans to make his first big blow over Washington's market place, given what we saw Rhoemer's virus do in the mountains, I can guarentee you Rhoemer has the power to much worse here. Jenkins team has already been deployed in the area, but filed for distress not too long ago.

MARKINSON
You'll have two objectives. Neutralize any and all viral explosives Rhoemer's men have set up in the area. The second, eliminate Rhoemer and any accomplices he has on site. We've been able to confirm four accomplices on site. Anton Girdeux, Rhoemer's lieutenant and head of munitions. Mara Aramov, his second in command. Pavel Kravitch, Rhoemer's communications expert, and finally, Jorge Marcos, Rhoemer's triggerman. You are to be deployed in the strike zone immediately.

LOGAN
Do the locals know what they're in for?

BENTON
No.

Kam, is this the official one you´ll use? and have they given you permission yet?:o

and that mission, wasn´t it in puerto rico?

No no no, nothing official, just my own this time around, and originally yes, but I'm changing it up a bit for the script purposes.
