	INT.	CHIEF CONSTABLE SEAN MCREA'S OFFICE

	SEAN MCREA a tall man in his early forties is sitting in his 
	chair and reading a report when he hears a small crack and
	feels a piece of glass strike the top of  his hair. He sees a piece
	of his office print of the Queen lose a corner of the frame 
	McRea is in shock and jumps on the floor. Pulls out his service
	pistol and looks at the small hole in the office window above
	his chair, he yells for backup.

				MCREA
			(yelling)		
		Patrick,  Hanlon ----- anybody!

	CONSTABLE PATRICK comes running in the room with his
	service pistol drawn.

				PATRICK
		Sean, ----- Sean, what is it!

	McRea, gets up off the floor and runs out the office and motions
	Patrick to follow him.

	EXT.	CHIEF CONSTABLE DEPARTMENT PARKING LOT	                   		 
	McRea is running and Patrick is right behind him and they both
	stop when they see nothing.

				PATRICK
		What happened?

				MCREA
			(out of breath)
		Someone took a shot at me. I heard the glass crack
		and the bullet hit one of my office pictures.  Lets go
		inside and we'll dig out the bullet.

				PATRICK
		I'll jump in the patrol car and check out a few
		streets and see if I see anything.


				MCREA
		Go ahead, and radio some of the other cars to
		check the area too.

	Patrick jumps in one of the patrol cards and peels out and disappears 
	down the street. McRea runs back in the building and closes the door.

							CUT TO:

	INT.	MCREA'S OFFICE							 

	As McRea walks into his office, CONSTABLE HANLON is close behind
	and very upset.

				HANLON 
		What is it, what happened?

	McRea is using his pen knife to dig the bullet out of the wall.

				MCREA
		Looks like a thirty caliber.....

	DISPATCHER MARY HELEN MCKINNY yells at him from the open
	office area.	
		
				MARY HELEN
		Sean, pick up line two, you have a call.

	McRea pick's up the receiver and listens to an unfamiliar
	voice talking in a very low tone.

				CALLER
		Chief Constable ------I need for you to understand that
		I never miss. The round was sent two to three inch's
		above your head, so I would get your attention. 
		Do I now have your attention?

				MCREA
			(McRea motions to Hanlon,
			 to trace the call)				
		Who is this.......who is this......

				CALLER
		Never mind who this is, just listen,	what you 
		received today was just a wake up call.  If I
		wanted you to die, yes you would have died
		tonight. But when I want you to die, you will
		indeed die.  And you will die by my hands.

	The caller hangs up and McRea is as pale as a ghost.

				HANLON
		Who was it?  Did someone threaten you? 
		(A beat.)   Sean, talk to me!

	McRea  pulls his chair away from the window and sits in it.

				MCREA
		Someone just called me and said I was going 
		to die, he also said it's a little game and I'm
		suppose 	to guess when.

				HANLON
		He wasn't on long enough for a trace.
		Sean -----  you look sick.  

	Mary Helen starts yelling again to pick up the phone.

				MARY HELEN
		Sean, pickup line one, it sounds
		like the same guy.

				MCREA
		Start the trace now.
			(McRea picks up the receiver)
		'Hello-----this is McRea----who
		is this------

				CALLER
		Stop trying to trace this call. You can't. This
		line is a hijacked cellular number, it can't be 
		traced.  Just so you know I'm not kidding you
		........look out your window.
		Don't worry, I won't shoot you---

				MCREA
			(whispering to Hanlon)
		Get away from the window.

	McRea , with phone in hand positions himself next to the edge of the
	window and peers out in the blackness.

				CALLER
		Ok, now that you are looking
		out the window, take a good
		look at your LAND ROVER......
		for the last time.

	As McRea is looking at his Rover, there is a tremendous explosion
	and his truck disappears in a fireball.

				CALLER  (cont.)
		Have a nice evening Chief Constable - - - - -
							
	McRea is in panic and is yelling at his staff. Patrick comes running 
	into the office.
					
				PATRICK
		Thank god your alive, I thought
		you may have been in the Rover.

	EXT.	CHIEF CONSTABLE DEPARTMENT PARKING LOT                    		 
	The fire department truck arrives, with the crew putting out the fire 
	of what's left of  McRea's truck.  McRea and Hanlon are looking 
	at the remains.

				HANLON  (cont.)
			(with concern)
		Only C4 could have done that much 
		controlled damage.  Do you have any
		idea who could have done this?

				MCREA
		It's the same person who put a 
		thirty caliber full metal jacket
		bullet through my window!

				HANLON
		Full metal jacket sounds like a 
		military round.  He has C4, and
		I wonder what else is in his 
		arsenal.

	Patrick is talking to McRea on his radio..

				HANLON (V.O.)
		Sean, the door of your house was
		wide open and nobody's home. 
		What do you want me to do?  Over.

				MCREA
		Stay there until I call you. 
		Over and out.
			(McRea turns down the
			 volume on the radio)
		That was Patrick and my house is 
		empty-----my wife is gone. 
						
				HANLON
		I know, I heard-----let's go
		back inside maybe she went to
		the store.

	Mary Helen is yelling from the open office area.

				MARY HELEN
		Chief Constable McRea, he's on the phone again.

				MCREA
		Chief Constable McRea----

				CALLER
		How does it feel to lose your nerve, truck and 
		family, all in one night. Enjoy, my good man enjoy-----
								
				MCREA
			(hysterical)
		Who is this, why don't you come and
		face me like a man?

				CALLER
			(laughing)
		What, and have twenty constables jump
		me or shoot me.  The only contact
		you will have with me is on the phone. 
		Ta-ta my good man.  Enjoy your misery.

	McRea stands in his office with the phone in his hand.

				MCREA
		Call Patrick and tell him to get back
		here, on the double.

	Mary Helen comes running in the room with her headset on and
	yelling at McRea.

				MARY HELEN
		Chief Constable, the supervisor at the power 
		station just called and said someone called him
		and said the substation will be blown up tonight. 
		I sent two cars out there.  And your caller is
		on line two again.

				MCREA
		This is Chief Constable McRea-----

				CALLER
		Oh, just one more thing-----you will find the
		body of your wife out by the old quarry road. 
				MCREA
			(coming unglued)
		Her body,  what did she ever do to you!
	
				CALLER
		Oh, stop your blubbering and show a
		little backbone.  (A beat.) 
		I was only kidding------she should 
		be walking into your office just
		about now------Have a nice evening
		Chief Constable!

	JILL MCCREA a nice looking lady in her late thirties walks 
	in the office.  

				JILL	
		I received a call from someone
		saying you had been in an auto 
		accident and I was to come here
		immediately. When I saw what was 
		left of your truck I almost had
		a heart attack-----but Mary Helen
		came out and got me.  What's 
		going on?

	McRea puts his arm around Jill.

				MCREA
		Looks like I have a stalker after
		me and I really don't know why!

	The lights in the office flicker and go on again.

				HANLON
		Looks like we just lost the sub 
		station.  I'll  round up some 
		of the men and get out there.

				MCREA
		Call Patrick and tell him, Jill 
		is here, and ok.

				MARY HELEN
		Chief Constable, phone call on line three.

				MCREA
		Chief Constable McRea-----

				CALLER  (V.O)
		I think it's time I properly introduced 
		myself, The name is Mr. Hulot, it's
		French Canadian. Think of Hugh low, that
		way you won't forget it. Hello, Chief
		Constable are you there?

				MCREA
		Yes I'm here, what do you want?

				HULOT
		Look Chief Constable I need for you
		to do me a favor----are you there?

				MCREA
		Why should I do you a favor, you've
		made me look like a fool, for the 
		last four hours.

				HULOT
		Oh really------take the phone and look out
		the window.  Do you see that white VW 
		rabbit parked on the street?

				MCREA
		Yes, so what?

				HULOT
		Look at it carefully-----

	McRea looks out the window and sees the car go up in
	a fireball.

				HULOT
		Do I have your attention now?

				MCREA
		Yes you do, go ahead.

				HULOT
		Listen carefully, I'm only going
		to say it one time.  

	McRea is looking at the Rabbit on fire------			 

				MCREA
		Yes go ahead Mr. Hulot, I will do
		whatever you say.

				HULOT
		Good boy---I need for you to get
		me two thousand pounds of C4.  
		You know, Hi-explosives--------
				MCREA
		Oh I can't get you C4, no way----

				HULOT
			(very upset and yelling)				
		Do you see the little red pickup 
		parked near the fire engine with
		the young man sitting in it?

				MCREA
		Ok, I'll get it for you---

	Mary Helen is shouting from the open office area.

				MARY HELEN
		Sean, he's on the phone again.

				MCREA
		Chief Constable McRea----

				HULOT  (V.O)
		I hope you won't make the mistake of getting the
		Military mixed up in our little game, because 
		if you do----  

				MCREA
		I need more time, it's not that easy to get 2000
		pounds of C4 in this county, ---- I need more time.
	
				HULOT  (V.O)
		You need more time--horse pucky - - 
		you're stalling my friend and it's 
		going to cost you.  You give the 
		permits in this county for the purchase
		of explosives. You and I both know
		there's several thousand pounds of C4 
		at the EIRE RIVER MAGAZINE waiting for
		the county road crews to pick up for
		blasting the base on the new road,
		so please let's stop kidding each 
		other, you have twenty-four hours
		and not a minute more.

				MCREA
			(stammering)
		You put me in a very bad position 
		with the Irish Rangers, if I help you,
		I will be aiding and abetting a 
		terrorist.

				HULOT
		That's the least of your problems 
		my friend. Right now you're looking
		at losing your police station, home
		and your wife.

				HULOT
		Remember tender heart, that for every
		Military that enters this town, one
		Cork citizen will go up in smoke!

				MCREA
		Ok Mr. Hulot we'll get the C4 in 
		twenty-four hours. Is there a number
		where I can call you?
				
				HULOT
			(laughing)
		Oh , I can see why you're just a 
		small town Chief Constable, it's because
		you're so stupid. You really expect
		me to give you a number where you
		can call me!  I know everything
		you do and when you're doing it,
		so I'll know if you're really making
		an effort.

	McRea picks up the receiver, then hesitates.

	EXT.	EIRE RIVER MAGAZINE      (HERCULES POWDER)  DUSK	  
	McRea has arrived at the explosive storage depot for his county and is 
	greeted by the manager LOU HAYES, a young man in his thirties.

				HAYES
		Hi Chief Constable , I have your shipment 
		ready for you.

	They both walk over to Lou's truck and he lifts the tarp and exposes 
	cases marked HI EXPLOSIVES.  

				HAYES
		There it is Chief Constable, twenty cases, 
		hundred pounds a case.

				MCREA
		Did you have any problem with the
		special order from Hercules?  I know
		it was a very short notice.

				HAYES
		No----I just told them it was a matter
		of life and death.  And also it was for
		you!  It does help to have your relatives
		working there. Shall we start our journey?

				MCREA
		Thanks Lou, I'll drive ahead of you with
		the Red lights on and I want you to take
		this police radio with you so we can stay
		in contact with each other----just in case
		of trouble.

	McRea and Lou Hayes start their trek back to Cobh and 
	the eerie glow of the red lights are seen disappearing
	down the Hi-way. Meanwhile, a large bus is parked 
	several miles down the same road, and three men with
	ski masks are ready to block the road when the convoy
	comes by. As McRea comes around the next bend the bus
	starts up and a large pickup maneuvers it's way to be
	ready to come from behind the convoy. As the convoy 
	appears, the bus digs out and drives out to the middle
	of the road and stops, completely blocking the road. 
	The pickup comes from behind the convoy blocking the 
	Hercules truck from backing up. The man from the truck 
	jumps out and runs to a point several yards back and
	strikes on a flare and tosses it in the middle of the 
	road, he then runs over to the Hercules truck with gun 
	in hand and holds Lou Hayes at bay.  Two men run over
	to the Chief Constable's car and take him out then all walk 
	over to the bus.  

				TERRORIST #1
		Chief Constable McRea I presume, It's a 
		pleasure I'm sure.  Not to worry, no one
		will get hurt. Mr. Hulot has given firm 
		orders that no one will be hurt.  You 
		may call me Claude, and we will now
		remove the packages for Mr. Hulot.
		Very well, make yourself comfortable,
		but I will have to relieve you of your
		weapon, of course you do understand. 

	One terrorist holds a gun on McRea, the others start transferring the explosives
	from  the Hercules truck to the hijacking truck.  When the transfer is complete,
	they are lead to McRea's patrol car and helped in the back seat. One gunman 
	drives off in the pickup and the other two hold their guns on the lawmen.

				CLAUDE
		Chief Constable, my instructions from
		Mr. Hulot is to leave you here with Mr.
		Hayes.  The keys will be in a bag one 
		mile down the hi-way, ok, Bon Voyage 
		Mon Ami

	McRea, Hanlon and Patrick are having a meeting with MAJOR
	IAN GREYan undercover member of the IRISH RANGERS.

				MCREA
		Major Grey, I just wonder what Mr. Hulot
		is going to do when he discovers the 
		shipment he received is Inert C4!

				HANLON
			(whispering to Patrick)
		What is inert C4?

				PATRICK
		It looks and smells like it, but its non-explosive.
		 They make it for movies and TV productions.

				GREY
			(looking at his watch)
		They should be getting a surprise just about now.

				MCREA
		Who is Mr. Hulot?

				GREY
		Mr. Hulot is BRANDON O' GRADY one of the top
		terrorists in the IRISH REPUBLICAN ARMY.
		His specialty is explosives.  He's wanted by
		the UK, on more charges than you can write!
				
				PATRICK
			(disgusted)
		Now we know why he wanted the C4.

				HANLON
		You mean the shipment is headed for 
		Northern Ireland?

				GREY
		Bingo----the IRA uses a lot of C4 and
		I'm sure Mr. Hulot has a target as
		we speak.
																	PATRICK
		They have gone to a lot of trouble for
		this stuff, can't they buy it in Europe?

				GREY
		The IRA used to buy C4 from SADDAM 
		HOUSSEIN, but that source has dried up.

				HANLON
		I thought the English and the IRA had a 
		truce and a cease fire?

				GREY
		It won't last, it never has.  So now they're
		regrouping and stocking up so when it starts
		up again, they'll be ready.

		Ah, yes I see the lads now!

	In a few minutes the lead helicopter shines a flood

PORTABLE LAB IN BRIGHT ORANGE BIO-FIELD TENT CLAUDE GAUTHIER a Microbiologist working in his bright orange "Racal Suit" looks like a man on the moon. The suit is required when working with "Hot Virus's" like the Ebola strains. He hands a specimen to his assistant who is JEAN LUC DUVALL a Microbiologist student from Montreal Canada, who places the specimen in the field "hot agent" carrier. They both walk out of the cave. GAUTHIER (smiling) Thank you Jean-Luc, we now have generous specimens of Ebola Zaire and Ebola Sudan. Lock the carrier and we'll get out of these monkey suits. As Gauthier starts to take off his Racal suit he exposes a large scare on his right fore-arm. He looks tired and shows it for a man in his late fifties. GAUTHIER (Cont.) Jean Luc, I see you looking at my scar again. It's just a bad monkey bite. DUVALL What kind of a monkey did you say it was? GAUTHIER Colobus, a very large male Colobus. DUVALL Why did he bite you? GAUTHIER I was trying to inject him with an experimental serum to kill the Ebola virus. And you know what, I think he knew he was going to die! DUVALL All the years that you worked for the CDC, how close did you get to catching Ebola? Jean Luc takes off his suit and exposes a young man in his late twenties. GAUTHIER The day a male Colobus acted like he was sleeping and he bit my finger. DUVALL What happened? GAUTHIER I don't know, I was in isolation for three weeks, but I didn't come down with it! DUVALL Maybe you have an immunity to that strain of Ebola. GAUTHIER I had a Belgian friend working with the World Health Organization (WHO) in Zaire when they had a large outbreak. One day he brought water to a woman who was dying. She threw up in his face and he died a week later from Ebola. DUVALL Where are these specimens going? GAUTHIER They're going to Ireland. DUVALL Claude, I don't think you'll be able to get past customs. Gauthier looks at his watch and picks up his small Lan- Sat Communicator. GAUTHIER The buyers are picking them up here. DUVALL (upset) Claude, you can't do that, it's illegal! GAUTHIER The buyers are taking the samples directly to Ireland. They work for the IRA. DUVALL Oh I see. Do I get paid when they get here? GAUTHIER Yes, we both get paid in hard English Pounds. (he turns on the radio) Zebra calling cobra, over? RADIO (V.O.) This is Cobra, read you five by five. GAUTHIER Have Zaire and Sudan, can't locate Marburg, should we continue to look? RADIO (V.O.) That is a roger Zebra, we will contact buyers and get back to you. Eh, ...Over and out! DUVALL (questioning) What is the IRA going to do with these samples? GAUTHIER (feeling uncomfortable) I don't know. DUVALL You know, I never told you but the U.S. Army interviewed me in college about a job with their disease control branch. And the CDC also interviewed me. GAUTHIER You are very lucky, when I was in College I had to look for a job. DUVALL The Government has very low starting pay, but they have many benefits. GAUTHIER Yes, benefits are very important when you get older. (he turns the volume up on the radio) RADIO (V.O.) Cobra calling Zebra, over? GAUTHIER This is Zebra, read you five by five. RADIO (V.O.) We have contacted the buyers and they want you to continue to look for Marburg. Over. GAUTHIER That is a roger. We heard a week ago an outbreak of MARBURG is in Zaire, can you send the plane and get us over there? RADIO (V.O.) That is a roger Zebra, we will pick you up at 0600 tomorrow morning. Over and out. GAUTHIER Cobra, be advised we will be ready. Over and out. DUVALL (questioning) Why do they need Ebola Zaire, Ebola Sudan and Marburg? GAUTHIER I don't know? CUT TO: EXT. KENYA AFRICA - MT.

Claude is holding a large canister painted all white with the familiar three circle flower indicating "Hot Agent". GAUTHIER (smiling) Well Jean Luc, what are you going to do with your cut of the money? DUVALL Last summer I went to the south of France and I met a girl in St. Tropez. GAUTHIER Oh you have a little romance going for you, how nice. DUVALL What about you? GAUTHIER I was offered a job working with the WHO in the Congo. it seems they have discovered a new strain of what they call a "Doomsday Bug". DUVALL All the years that you worked for the CDC, and you never got Ebola, and now your tempting fate again! Jean Luc takes off his Pith Helmet and wipes his brow and looks up shading his eyes. DUVALL Here comes our plane. GAUTHIER Excellent, Excellent! DUVALL We should be in Yambuko in about an hour and a half. GAUTHIER Ok. Jean Luc get your gear, here they come. A STOL type aircraft makes a low pass and lands in the dirt strip. The pilot taxis the plane up to where Gauthier and Duvall are waiting. The pilot shuts down the engine and gets out of the plane. DUVALL (shouting) Rene, it's so good to see you! RENE (shaking Gauthier's hand) Claude, your a sight for sore eyes. DUVALL Rene, why did you shut down the engine, we're ready to go. The pilot takes out a nine millimeter pistol out of his jacket pocket and aims it at the bush. GAUTHIER (shocked) What the hells going on? RENE From the air I saw two black men watching you. They both had rifles. GAUTHIER No way, no way, we have seen no one since we've been here. Rene runs to the edge of the jungle stops and turns around. I must have scared them off. probably poachers. RENE Are you ready Claude, Jean Luc? RENE (takes the Hot carrier out of Jean-Luc's hand) I'll store this in the storage compartment with your other things. DUVALL Be careful Rene, that canister has enough virus to kill all the people in the world! They all walk back to the Aircraft and Rene places the Hot Agent carrier in the luggage department. Jean Luc gets in the rear of the plane and Claude gets in the front seat next to the pilot.
