    <character>NEWS ANCHOR</character>
    <parenthetical>( V.O . )</parenthetical>
    <dialogue>In an e - mail to the New York Times, a Marxist extremist known only as ` The Wolf,' states that the bombing was, quote, ` not an act of terror but an act of war, aimed at stopping your C.I.A. murderers and their fascist puppets from committing further acts of repression against the people of Colombia,' unquote. Two Colombian officials and an American military officer died in last Thursday's blast. Also killed were Anne Pitt, wife of a New York City firefighter, and their only child, four - year - old Matt. The President has vowed that the United States will avenge what he called ` this monstrous act of barbarism and cowardice'. Intelligence sources say the identity and whereabouts of The Wolf remain a mystery. They believe he has worked closely with radical elements in Latin America for more than twenty years and have linked him to numerous terrorist bombings, including the 1983 downing of a Peruvian airliner, which killed forty - two people, eleven of them Americans. The head of the Latin America Indigenous People's Committee, a group known to be sympathetic to the radicals in Colombia, talked to News Six in Queens.</dialogue>

    <scene_description>This is where the woman was gardening , tending a rooftop flower bed . Selena emerges , crushes plants as she runs to the next town house roof . Gordy hits the roof behind her . SELENA As Selena runs from rooftop to rooftop along the row of town houses , we see her warrior determination and discipline . She 's thinking ahead and she never hesitates . Her big problem is she 's being pursued by an equally well - trained and determined firefighter . And he 's not far back . One tumble , and he 'll catch her . Selena strains harder . SELENA vaults a gap . Moments later , Gordy vaults it . SELENA finally runs out of roof . She looks down . A fire escape ladder leads down to an interior , ground - level courtyard of a small foreign embassy . Still holding the crowbar , Selena takes the ladder down . MOMENTS LATER Gordy reaches the ladder . Selena 's ahead of him by a floor , hurrying down two rungs at a time . Gordy does n't fuck with the rungs . Just swings over the edge of the roof , grabs the side - rails lightly with his hands , squeezes the rails with the insides of his boots and lets gravity take over .</scene_description>

    <stage_direction>EXT. EMBASSY - COURTYARD</stage_direction>
    <scene_description>The fire escape leads down to a second - story balcony running around the inside wall of the courtyard . Twin staircases lead from the balcony to ground level , where , across the slate - paved car court , a wrought - iron gate opens onto the street . Gordy hits the balcony a half - second after Selena . He grabs her . Selena swings the crowbar to break his arm . Gordy has to let go . Selena heads for the stairs leading to the ground . GORDY 'S got one chance to intercept Selena . The balcony 's too high for him to jump , but the courtyard 's ringed with trees - they 're not close , but they 're not far , either . Not for a man craving revenge for the deaths of his wife and son , a man who also slides down fire poles for a living . Gordy runs down the balcony . Gains speed . Jumps . Launches off the balcony railing . And hurtles himself at the trunk of a medium - sized tree . He hits the trunk . Hangs on . And slides to the ground . And now . ANOTHER ANGLE He 's between Selena and the only way out . And there 's no way she 's getting past him . But that 's not what Selena 's thinking . She attacks with the crowbar , and Gordy can only retreat in the face of the vicious onslaught . He finds a nearby garbage can . It 's full , heavy , but he manages to lift it , spilling garbage as he uses the can to block the blows from the crowbar . The CROWBAR THWOCKS into the can over and over , the sound ECHOING LOUDLY in the small courtyard . Selena swings again , and Gordy moves to block the hit . It 's a feint . She swings under the can and hits a leg . It hurts like hell , he stumbles , but he stays on his feet , still holding the can . Selena goes for his head . Gordy raises the can . Thwock ! Thwock ! The can 's all dents . There 's garbage everywhere . She feints high and then swings low again , a wicked blow to the knee . Gordy stumbles badly this time . Selena breaks for the gate . Gordy sees her and , with all his might slings the can across the slate pavers , and . The can takes Selena 's legs out from under her . She falls hard . Gets back to her feet quickly and starts to run , when . Gordy hits her like a linebacker . Slams Selena against a brick wall . Gets behind her and slips a mighty arm around her thin neck . Selena squirms hard , kicks backward , going for the balls , kneecaps , insteps , doing whatever she can to hurt Gordy and get free . But she 's not in a position to do a lot of damage - and she 'd have to kill him before he 'd let go . Gordy 's got his arm locked in a police chokehold around Selena 's neck . Uses his weight to force the smaller woman down onto her knees . Presses her harder , till she 's sitting back on her legs . Selena ca n't drop out of the hold , and her legs are immobilized . All she can do is scratch . But Gordy 's oblivious . They 're alone in the courtyard . Body to body . Head to head . He 's pumped with fury and hatred . He tightens the chokehold . Hisses in her ear -</scene_description>

    <dialogue>They were my family.</dialogue>
    <scene_description>Gordy 's blind with rage . Chokes her neck hard . Summoning all the power in him , first to shut off her air and blood , and then to continue squeezing , relishing her every dying moment , until he 's snuffed out the life of the person who took Anne and Matt from him . And . He ca n't . it 's all he 's wanted since he saw Anne and Matt die , but now he ca n't do it . He 's a firefighter . He saves lives . If he kills Selena , Gordy crosses into her world , into Brandt 's world , into the brutal nightmare destroying Colombia and all the places like it , and becomes part of that sadness and death . And . Gordy relaxes the chokehold enough so she can breathe . Selena gasps for air . The impulse to murder has left Gordy . There 's a new resolve .</scene_description>

ANOTHER ANGLE In the same moment , Gordy grabs the crowbar from the ground . SELENA flicks off the safety and points the gun again . GORDY hurls the crowbar with all his might , and .

A bomb detonates in the plaza of the Colombian Consulate building in Los Angeles, killing nine people, including a caravan of Colombian officials and American intelligence agents. Among the civilians killed are the wife and son of LAFD firefighter, Captain Gordon "Gordy" Brewer, who was injured in the explosion. A tape is sent to the U.S. State Department, in which a masked man calling himself "El Lobo" (The Wolf) claims responsibility, explaining it was in retaliation for the oppression of Colombia by the United States. The FBI believes El Lobo is a Colombian terrorist named Claudio Perrini. CIA Special Agent Peter Brandt, the Colombia Station Chief, is harshly reprimanded for the incident by a Senate Oversight Committee, which promptly terminates all CIA operations in Colombia. Brandt angrily returns to Mompós and meets with his paramilitary allies to plan a major offensive to take down Claudio. Frustrated at the political red tape regarding the investigation, Brewer travels to Mompós to personally hunt down Claudio but is quickly arrested for illegal entry. The guerrillas stage a prison break to free their comrades and abduct Brewer to demand a large ransom for him. Brandt's unit is alerted to Brewer's presence in Colombia but arrive too late. Brewer escapes the prison, avoids being captured, and secures a guerrilla zone pass from Canadian mechanic Sean Armstrong. Armstrong introduces him to drug runner Felix Ramirez, the manager of the cocaine distribution facility that finances the guerrillas. Pretending to be a mechanic, Brewer rigs several improvised explosives and destroys the facility. Felix is blamed for the destruction of the drug plant and is executed in front of a hiding Brewer's eyes. Brewer infiltrates Claudio's headquarters and plants a bomb to kill him, but he is captured when he tries to prevent a woman, Selena, from being caught in the blast radius along with her son, Mauro. At Claudio's home compound, Selena reveals she is Claudio's wife. She and Claudio once lost their own child during an American attack, which compelled Claudio to become a terrorist; Selena found and adopted Mauro, whose parents were killed in the attack. Nevertheless, Selena sympathizes with Brewer and admits that Claudio is planning another bombing in Washington, D.C.. Meanwhile, Brandt's unit locates Claudio's compound and launches an attack. During the ensuing shootout, Selena helps free Brewer and, along with Brandt, travels back to the State Department in Washington, D.C. to help the search effort for Claudio. Selena identifies Union Station as the target, and the FBI investigates. On the pretense of using the lavatory, Selena excuses herself from the command room and becomes irritated when Mauro refuses to come with her. When Brewer sees Selena make the same gesture as the masked man who claimed to be El Lobo in the tape, he realizes that she was the Wolf all along, and Claudio serves as her figurehead, and that the entire motive behind their cause is personal revenge for the death of their daughter at the hands of the US. Furthermore, Brewer surmises the real target is the State Department, and that he was used to help Selena get past the building's security. Brewer quickly throws Mauro's bomb-laden toy dinosaur out a window moments before it explodes. Brandt, realizing Brewer's suspicions, is shot and killed trying to stop Selena from fleeing the building. Brewer chases Selena to the basement of the building where she and Claudio ride off through the tunnels on a motorcycle. Brewer finds the tunnel control console and shuts the gates, preventing their escape. Brewer chops open some gas lines along the walls of the tunnel and, as they ride back, Selena shoots at Brewer, igniting the gas. Brewer jumps through a doorway just as the entire tunnel explodes. Selena and Claudio survive the blast, however, and attack him simultaneously. After a short, hand-to-hand fight, Selena is electrocuted by being tossed on the exposed circuitry of the control panel, and Claudio is finally killed when Brewer throws an axe into his chest. In the aftermath, Brewer carries Mauro in his arms as they leave the State Department. A newscast voiceover explains that Brewer will receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom for preventing one of the worst terrorist attacks in U.S. history from taking place.
