- EXT. MOUNTAIN ROAD - DAY
- A convoy travels down a narrow and winding road.
- INT. MRAP - DAY
- Don and Diaz sit in the MRAP as it drives along. Diaz holds a
- DSLR camera and wears a GoPro.
- Don sits there with his M4 in front of him. He thumbs a photo
- of a family.
- RAYMOND HERNANDEZ, (22) drives the MRAP.
- Conrad stands on the mounted gun. Paulsen looks up from the
- inside at Conrad.
- PAULSEN
- Hey Miller, you get your head blown
- off yet?
- CONRAD
- Nope, you shoot youself yet?
- PAULSEN
- Nope.
- Hernandez looks back at Diaz.
- HERNANDEZ
- You see what I gotta deal with man?
- These white boys keep wanting to
- whack each other. Wey, back in the
- hood we'd have just done it.
- CONRAD
- Well, I'd do something, but unlike
- you, Paulsen and I don't look all
- that good in orange.
- HERNANDEZ
- Say that shit in the hood, homie.
- PAULSEN
- Is it because you can't actually
- fight him youself and need four of
- your hombres to do it for you?
- Diaz smirks at this. Hernandez glances back and glares.
- HERNANDEZ
- Don't think I won't fuck you up,
- homie.
- DIAZ
- You've already tried.
- HERNANDEZ
- You don't need no fancy martial
- arts when you got four of your
- homies backing you up you know.
- DIAZ
- They ONLY came in when I had you on
- the ground.
- HERNANDEZ
- Still proves a point, carnal.
- Diaz looks down at his notepad again.
- PAULSEN
- Oh christ, he's got that look
- again.
- CONRAD
- Which one, the stupid question or
- the war crime look?
- PAULSEN
- The stupid question one.
- The three groan at this.
- HERNANDEZ
- Wey, why didn't you just come in
- like the other reporters? Just drop
- in by helicopter and camera crew
- like all them white boys, ask the
- questions and then leave?
- PAULSEN
- Kid's got a point, you're not like
- the rest of them. We get the usual
- run of the mill types, CNN, NBC,
- whole nine yards. The hell? You
- just wake up one day and think "I'm
- going to sit with a bunch of
- trained killers and record what I
- see"?
- DIAZ
- I answer those questions and you
- guys answer mine.
- PAULSEN
- Yeah, fine.
- HERNANDEZ
- Whatever, man.
- CONRAD
- Deal.
- DIAZ
- Well when being a creative writer
- fucks you and you're 200k in the
- hole, you kind of run out of
- options.
- CONRAD
- Real question is, why didn't you
- just opt to enlist like every other
- jack off? Be cool like us.
- DIAZ
- Three heart attacks.
- Conrad looks down from the turret. His eyes wide and for a
- moment he carries a look of concern.
- CONRAD
- Paulsen?
- PAULSEN
- Yeah?
- CONRAD
- Did you bother to tell anyone that
- this guy could die on us at any
- given moment?
- PAULSEN
- It's the first I'm hearing of it.
- CONRAD
- Well, if he does go down I'm
- putting him out of his misery.
- DIAZ
- Please, for the love of god, being
- around you idiots makes that more
- of a blessing. Anyway, question
- time.
- A collective and annoyed groan from everyone in the vehicle.
- Diaz pulls out his notepad.
- DIAZ (CONT’D)
- Gimme a sec here just...
- CONRAD
- Guys I got cont-

- out of the vehicle. Rounds fly into the MRAP doors.
- One flies past Diaz and Paulsen.
- PAULSEN
- Conrad, keep those fuckers heads'
- down, everyone else, OUT!
