Shooter (2007) Edit

A brutal son of a bitch.

A Force Recon Marine Scout Sniper

A little stiff, but...

A senator. From Montana, I think.

A senator. From Montana, I think.

According to the National Weather Service

After they got done teaching me how to kill people.

Again, it's an honor.

Again.

Against all enemies,

Against my better judgment, I've agreed to it as a favor to the FBI.

Agent Gibson, we read your fly by. Situation all clear, over.

Agent James, all clear.

Agent James, negative. No further information...

Ain't gonna be able to find nothing.

Ain't gonna make a difference this close.

All clear. There's really nothing going on here.

All overwrought with guilt about your mistakes.

All right, come on, let's go. Let's go.

All right, go!

All right, you got four enemy combatants.

All right, you make sure you stick to it.

All right. Let's start the search downriver.

All sniper teams send update on your sitrep.

All units be advised,

All.

Already edited together to show the angles.

Also, he said Timmons was a setup.

Altitude, humidity, temperature accounted for.

And 10:00.

And a country, the United States of America,

And am, indeed, required by law,

And Anna Nicole married for love!

And have it match exactly to another.

And he works for the FBI.

And I might as well shoot you now and leave.

And I still can't figure out how they could be.

And I'm going to go back to what I was doing.

And if I don't know any of those things?

And justice does not always prevail.

And know you could've done something about it.

And nobody questions him,

And once a year I got the flowers.

And one of the most important buildings in American history.

And see the President dead,

And several locations in Philadelphia

And show me some ID.

And solemnly swore

And tell the American public,

And that young kid,

And the Archbishop?

And then throw away when you are done.

And then you just said to him,

And these are troubled times, as well.

And they get fingerprints off the cartridge cases.

And what happens to the bait?

And what side are you on?

And what the hell is that?

And WMDs were in Iraq,

And you got to try to make sure you don't re infect it.

And you know this for a fact?

And you're going to sit real still until I'm long gone.

Anna, you guys, you take the team... Anna! ...To the roadhouse.

Another one in France. I know he's dead.

Approximately

Are you out of your mind? Are you out of your damn mind?

Aren't you the one that shot him?

As he's been speaking out regarding the atrocities in his country.

As I have already received no less than a dozen calls

As no sign of Swagger has been found.

As retired Marine Gunnery Sergeant Bob Lee Swagger,

As the net begins to tighten nationwide, there is still no trace of Swagger.

As the net begins to tighten nationwide, there is still no trace of Swagger.

As we speak.

Assassination suspect is fleeing in a stolen FBI vehicle.

Assassination suspect's vehicle

At 1,000 yards,

At first I thought it was Washington, Quantico.

At over a mile.

At the bottom of the Delaware River.

At the time of the shot. I did the math.

At this time, no sign of Swagger has been found.

Backed up far enough to take a picture of the plates.

Bad things happen to good people.

Baltimore, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C.

Because he didn't.

Because I was kidnapped by people that don't exist.

Because I would be very cautious about what went in it.

Because their grandmother's grandfather

Because they don't want to hear the answer

Before you on this stage...

Before. I mean, then.

Blow the pipe bombs outside on my call, okay? You got it?

Bob Lee is one of those.

Bob Lee Swagger, you're free to go.

Bob Lee Swagger.

Bono? You want them to get Bono?

Buried in the damn desert. Unmarked graves out past Terlingua.

But a week before, at a can of stew.

But an angle change, that becomes a trig problem.

But at the end of the day, when all the dust settles,

But I think I'm going to need your help.

But it'll cut loose again.

But let's not take the chance.

But none of it sticks to me.

But not hard enough.

But slyly, subtly, chokes it off at the root.

But that's the nature of being the bait.

But the joy of checks and balances in our government is that I can,

But they were kind of determined to kill you.

But this is the world we live in.

But this, this is a Delta level clearance request

But we don't take care of those things here.

But what's with the sugar?

But you don't say it.

By the way, they've got your woman.

Call them out.

Calm down.

Came untied.

Can I help you?

Can you believe this fucking guy?

City cop managed to spot, shoot this guy twice.

Code was broken on an anonymous transmission.

Colonel, your moral compass is so fucked up,

Come a long way to see you.

Come here, buddy.

Come near the porch I didn't invite you, you'd have to shoot the dog.

Come on, boy!

Come on, boy. Get in there.

Come on, come on. Look, look. Look up.

Come on.

Command Post be advised,

Command Post to Condor Two, load up, over.

Command Post, Command Post, this is TS 129, over.

Command Post, Command Post, this is Viper.

Command Post, Command Post, this is Viper.

Command Post, Condor Three copies. All en route.

Command Post, Condors Two and Three moving to intercept, over.

Command Post, this is Viper. Hostile threat down, over.

Command Post, this is Viper. Mission accomplished.

Command Post!

Command Post! Command Post, this is Post 19.

Confirmation's a desk pogue's problem.

Cooperating agencies, ATF, NRO, places that don't even have initials

Copy that.

Could make the grooves match.

Couple bottles of water.

CP, 17, can you repeat possible suspect description?

CP, this is 15. No activity at my location.

Crew we used in Ethiopia.

Crooked tree. 675, 30 miles an hour, three mil lead.

D.C.'s a pure suicide mission.

Danger close. 2:00,

Davis, get out here!

Dead guy in the front seat?

Definitely my gun.

Did he give his checks and balances speech?

Didn't I say don't let anything distract you?

Didn't like the one before that much, either.

Disarmed me three weeks out of the academy.

Do kill him.

Do something!

Do something.

Do we allow America to be ruled by thugs?

Do we have a color, anything on the vehicle?

Do you have any idea how much trouble you're in?

Don't do that to yourself.

Don't kill me, please! Don't kill me! I believe you!

Don't know one's any more real than the next.

Don't move!

Don't really matter anymore. He knew we were coming the last three miles.

Don't want to lose that now, do I?

Don't worry, I already shot him twice. You all right?

Don't you try and take that away from him.

Done.

Donnie Fenn's widow. Anniversary of his death.

Donnie!

Donnie?

Dr. Phil or something. Okay.

Drink?

Early reports indicate that the assailant

Easier to use

Easy. Easy.

Egress?

Eight kilometers inside a country we are not supposed to be in.

Enemy forces have been stopped. Break.

Even the Coriolis effect, the spin of the Earth, comes into play.

Even though sometimes that's exactly what's needed.

Ever really happens without the approval of the government.

Everyone keeps telling me I'm crazy.

Everything comes into play that far.

Excuse me, sir. Can I see some ID, please?

Excuse me?

Excuse me.

Expect the bullet to be handmade, bronzed alloy turned on a lathe.

Eyewitness reports suspect vehicle entering High Tech Car Wash

FBI Agent

FBI match was metallurgical.

FBI! Took my weapon and my car.

Federal agents today executed a search warrant

Fifty yards.

Finally narrowed his hide down to an abandoned six story building.

Find me something.

Fire under their asses, you understand me?

First to respond to the scene,

Five shots,

Flashlight has arrived. I say again, Flashlight has arrived.

Flashlight is down, Flashlight is down.

Flashlight's current location is approaching Checkpoint Jason.

Flight time of the bullet that distance is five to six seconds.

For a man who didn't know much,

For a shot from the steeple.

For as much as we can be.

For crimes he may or may not have committed on another continent.

For hundreds of years.

For the record, I don't like the way this turned out any more than you do.

Foreign and domestic.

Friend of Nelson Mandela and all. He seems trustworthy.

Friendlies are continuing on to extract point. Break.

From beyond 1,800 yards, though.

From highly ranked and powerfully placed individuals

From Montana?

From the beginning, they've always had your rifle.

Fuck me.

Fuck you!

Fuck you!

Fuck!

Funny thing, Google Maps puts the donut shop

Gentlemen, this meeting is over.

Get him some water.

Get my car.

Get my car.

Get on the ground! Get your ass on the ground!

Get used to the idea, son.

Ghost report says he inflicted 70 percent casualties, the rest fled.

Give me the gun.

Give me the keys.

Go ahead and plot an alternate.

Go back to your desk. I'm saving your life.

Go check the perimeter.

Go okay?

Go on.

Go, go, go, go, go!

God damn it! Just wait a minute!

Good boy.

Good luck, okay?

Good night, Senator.

Got to flush them drugs out of your system.

Got to pee yet?

Gotta be very careful with these. It's got a 15 foot kill radius.

Great shot!

Grooves would match. Paper unwinds at the muzzle.

Grows and shoots his own food.

Guaranteed. Every time.

Guest at the motel last night gave me $100

Gunnery Sergeant Bob Lee Swagger.

Gunnery Sergeant Swagger?

Guy going to a barbecue.

Guys! We got Memphis on the line.

Had enough chances. I wanted you dead, you'd be dead.

Had to keep you till they got here.

Hard to say.

Has the President been shot?

Hasn't been tampered with in any way?

Hasn't come back to the office and is out there with him.

Have a chair, son.

Have you given your official statement yet?

He got a name?

He head shoots me, spasm kills her!

He is going south on Front from Diamond.

He knew exactly what he was doing

He knew exactly what he was doing when he enlisted.

He knows more about guns and the people who shoot them

He lives in Philly.

He loved what he did.

He never said that.

He plans to meet with the President right after the ceremony

He said he was walking foot patrol,

He said yes. He just doesn't know it yet.

He understands.

He was a good dog. I raised him from a pup.

He won't get far that way.

He'll try to track the shooter.

He's bleeding. Kill him.

He's ex army.

He's getting a medal. Know it?

He's gonna need indicators between the podium and the shooting position.

He's here.

He's loaded.

He's not dead.

He's right. There's nothing to prove he did anything.

He's trained in counterintel.

He's under the floor!

Hello?

Hello?

Help me toss these boys in the water?

Here, boy.

Hey, hey, hey!

Hey, how's it going?

Hey, it's me, Nick.

Hey, John.

Hey, this is the 21st century. You can't go to war with these people.

Hey, who is this guy?

Hey.

Hey.

Hey. I'm sorry about everything.

High speed on Castor. Be advised.

His best friend and spotter was killed.

His last assignment went wrong.

Hit it. Hit the napalm.

Hit.

Hold my cigar, Mr. A.G.

Hold still.

How about that guy from U2 with the glasses?

How badly do you want to know? Because this will get you fired.

How can it be three years ago when it seems like ten?

How can we help you?

How come?

How could you fucking miss?

How did they get a reverse azimuth 10 minutes after that?

How many?

Humidity, elevation, temperature, wind, spindrift.

Hurry up, guys. Come on.

I ain't got nowhere else to go.

I am a United States senator!

I am available to move if necessary.

I been meaning to ask you.

I believe you stood before a flag

I checked and it didn't. It just magically arrived.

I cleaned and oiled it before I put it away.

I could use a spotter.

I did take an oath to defend this country from all enemies, foreign and domestic.

I didn't do whatever they said I did.

I didn't shoot the President. Timmons was a setup.

I don't carry a gun.

I don't carry a weapon,

I don't get it.

I don't think so, Senator.

I don't think so.

I don't think you understand.

I don't want you to hurt yourself. Okay?

I don't want you to turn on the TV next week

I got a Crown Vic. Black. Government plates.

I got another one.

I guess Bob Lee didn't think he was expendable.

I have friendly forces moving towards extraction point, over.

I haven't even told you what it is yet.

I held off the worst of the infection, but you're gonna have to open it up,

I just didn't figure I'd end up quite this involved.

I just want someone there I can trust.

I just went over Swagger's financials again.

I know who you are.

I know.

I know.

I mean, I ain't real proud of it, but I ain't ashamed, either.

I mean, unless you're sure your shooter's interested in 70 virgins

I mean, unless you're sure your shooter's interested in 70 virgins

I mean, we work for the federal government.

I met the son of a bitch.

I need to land a transport plane without a customs check.

I need you to find someone. Mikhaylo Sczerbiak.

I need you to meet with this FBI agent.

I need you to plan a presidential assassination.

I punched in the holes myself. It was at a competition.

I read an article. It said Swagger shot a silver dollar at a grand.

I see how that could be a tough problem. You know, last minute and all.

I should've come and seen you in person.

I swear.

I teach the third grade.

I think I broke a rib!

I think it's time you owe us your side of the bargain.

I think that CNN got the tapes before we did,

I think we're here.

I think we're here.

I think your five minutes is up.

I thought he turned you down.

I thought you might.

I was kind of hoping to keep one alive,

I win.

I won.

I wouldn't have come all the way here to lie to you.

I'd bury you in the hill, and tell the sheriff a month or two later.

I'd rule that out.

I'd say that's quite a shot, Senator.

I'll be seeing you.

I'll be shocked if you manage to find your way back to the parking lot.

I'll get better.

I'll sit up in my chair and say, Which way you want me to go, boss?

I'll sit up in my chair and say, Which way you want me to go, boss?

I'll take his legs.

I'm beginning to think that you were the wrong man for the job.

I'm better. I better get to it.

I'm going to do all those Whip It!'s and pass out.

I'm gonna get fired anyway. I'm done worrying about that.

I'm gonna provide you with two numbers, then we'll talk.

I'm here with Officer Timmons, who pursued the suspect on foot.

I'm just a peckerwood who lives in the hills with too many guns.

I'm licensed to carry that in this state.

I'm not crazy, though. You think I'm crazy?

I'm not going to shoot myself.

I'm not gonna ask you again.

I'm not your son.

I'm on it. Right away, sir.

I'm out, old man!

I'm sorry I tried.

I'm sorry to bother you, ma'am.

I'm still enough of a sucker, you press that patriot button,

I'm supposed to be dead. Been a long night.

I'm sure she's a really nice Christian woman

I'm sure they'll get out just fine. Shut it down now.

I'm sure we can manage without him.

I've been hallucinating.

If anything, I feel lucky to be alive.

If it is Colonel?

If one of them betrays the principles of the accrual...

If you could get a bullet that had been shot clean through the first rifle,

If you're zeroed for 600, you ought to aim a little lower.

Impressive recon and report, son.

In 45 minutes for a review.

In a conspiracy, all loose ends are trimmed.

In a year or two, they'll be back in business.

In the city that was the capital of...

In the end, the law is all...

In the face.

In the meantime, the FBI has been unwilling to comment,

In the meantime, they need someone else to find.

In the Wind River range of Wyoming

Interesting question, though. Hope I satisfied you.

Is being pursued by thousands of State and Federal law enforcement personnel

Is believed to have shot and injured Swagger.

Is enough to ruin the shot.

Is human weakness.

Is human weakness.

Is one government issue black 2006 Ford Crown Vic.

Is out to 880 yards.

Is that the new one?

Is there anybody else?

Is whether I'm crazy or not.

It appears we misjudged the gunnery sergeant.

It doesn't make any sense.

It doesn't really matter.

It has something to do with osmotic pressure.

It is a real honor to meet you.

It is.

It was internal.

It was my fault.

It was okay.

It was the capital of the United States...

It was them.

It was, however, an exact metallurgical match.

It's a conglomerate.

It's a Congressional Medal of Honor.

It's a far piece, Sam. Think the President ought to worry?

It's a good call, Pork.

It's beautiful.

It's been in the FBI's possession ever since,

It's been three years.

It's better I don't tell you.

It's gonna be okay. Hold this.

It's gonna be some hard, hairy work, Pork.

It's gonna look odd you buy it all in one place.

It's gotten too deep. It's not clear who can be trusted.

It's just within driving range.

It's just you and me, baby.

It's not really as bad as it seems. It's all gonna be done in any case.

It's not the Wild West,

It's not your fault. It is what it is.

It's okay.

It's okay. Give me the gun.

It's one of six possible locations,

It's solvable.

It's the FBI!

Jack Ruby shoots Oswald?

Jefe. 920. Three quarter value.

Johnson's had a lot of names.

Just as a preamble?

Just feed him once a day. Read him a few ballistics tables if he looks lonely.

Just wonder if I'm gonna have to shoot somebody

Keep a visual eye on 72nd...

Kill them too.

Kill you?

Kind of thing ain't been done in a long time, though.

Knowing would only be dangerous.

Last known is south on Front.

Least that's what I'd do.

Leaves no traces when it hits.

Let him go.

Let me take a look.

Let's go.

Let's move!

Lightest breeze uncorrected at that distance

Like I didn't see what I saw, or heard what I heard.

Like I said, things have gotten a little complicated.

Listen to me, son.

Listen very carefully.

Listen.

Living in a free country?

Look around you.

Look awful suspicious if you were to go and shoot yourself

Look on your left, there. Second shelf down.

Look what you've done now.

Look, do you have a pen?

Look, I didn't shoot the President.

Look, if you're going to do it, just get it over with.

Look, look, look.

Look, you're a nurse, right?

Look.

Look. Keene City, Kentucky.

Looks good. Vehicle is disabled. Repeat, vehicle disabled.

Looks right, need a micrometer to tell.

Lord knows I want to.

Make it four and a half minutes of angle.

Man, this is hard to spell.

May have been hit as many as two times.

Maybe.

Meaning, Colonel?

Memphis?

Men, women, children,

Men, women, children.

Men, women, children. Killed them by the hundreds.

Mile and a half, the bullet's going to strike with more energy

Mileage can be rough.

Miss by two and a half feet at 2,000 yards?

Morning, beautiful.

Move too soon, we lose him.

Movement.

My colleague's questioning my choice. Okay,

My God.

My name is Colonel Isaac Johnson.

Name was Sam.

Napalm on the first floor. Pipe bombs on the rest of them.

Negative, no further at this time.

Never heard from him no more.

Never met the man, so I wouldn't know him.

Never met the man, so I wouldn't know him.

Never.

New names, new messenger boys, same old story.

Nice presentation.

Nice shooting, Gunnie.

Nicholas Memphis.

Nick. Hey, it's Howard here. How are you?

No loose ends this time.

No official report.

No one can track you through the water except a fish.

No one ever beats me in.

No question about it, don't deny it.

No shot, Swagger! You hear that, Swagger?

No shot! Okay, fuck him.

No sniper sticks his rifle out of a window.

No, definitely. He knows what he's doing.

No, he doesn't give a rat's ass about the engine.

No, sir.

No, they tie those low around trees.

No!

No!

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No. Absolutely not.

No. No, that was Donnie's dream. I couldn't stand the blood.

No. No.

Nope. No, I don't.

Normally there isn't any peace to start with.

Not bad with a poodle shooter and a makeshift silencer, huh?

Not bad!

Not bad.

Not right now.

Nothing but an abandoned car has been found

Nothing steady. No boyfriend.

Notify our teams. Check their positions.

Now are you on the inside,

Now fleeing in stolen FBI vehicle, moving south on Front from Diamond.

Now it gives me enormous pleasure...

Now look.

Now, how does a man who can do that

Now, I didn't start it, but be sure as hell I mean to see it through.

Of an oil pipeline pumping station in Eritrea

Of course, you weren't supposed to survive that, either.

Of our stewardship of this great...

Of the accrual of money and power,

Of the FBI.

Of what?

Officer Timmons, our local resource.

Officer, can you tell us what happened?

Offices in Virginia, Delaware, registered in Panama.

Oh, come on, just tell me.

Oh, it's a trap.

Oh, my.

Oh, Nick, wait...

Oh, Nick, wait...

Oh, no. I can't do that.

Oh, that This is about freedom! It's not about oil!

Okay, I don't care who it is right now. I don't give...

Okay, so what are these for again?

Okay, then.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay. I'll do it.

Okay. Okay.

On my one, you blow the pipe bombs,

On target.

On the northwest corner of Girard and 9th, over.

Once a year, he sent flowers to someone with his Visa card.

Once you've been a wolf, it's hard to be staked down like a goat.

One at your 2:00,

One thing is...

One thing is...

One village!

Only 24?

Only thing that's gonna make a difference

Only three blocks away from the field office.

Opposing force sent an attack helicopter and a hundred man company.

Or are you on the out?

Or your brakes'll go.

Ordinarily.

Ours.

Out of the FBI field office in Philadelphia seven minutes ago.

Out of the three cities,

Over the Eritrean border, there is a mass grave with 400 bodies.

Over there, and here.

Overpowered and killed the three of them?

Patriots met in Independence Hall and created a document,

Patron state of shooting stuff.

Pennsylvania license number 7 3 1 7 James David Edward, over.

Philadelphia is our home. We are...

Plan.

Please advise for further description of suspect vehicle.

Please help me. Please. They shot me.

Please, all I need is a marinade needle, some salt, some sugar,

Please?

Please.

Point 732. Point 648.

Position to machine gun. 900, three quarter value.

Possible hostile forces approaching TS 129 at their 12:00.

Possibly in a stolen FBI vehicle.

Post 18 clear, over.

Post 19, please report. What's your status?

President'll be wearing body amour. That means a headshot,

Pretty good! He went for the shot.

Pretty sure he was a full bird colonel.

Primary over the top, secondary down the road, tertiary to the river.

Pull the pilot.

Pull the truck in the garage. The neighbors'll be up in a minute.

Pull!

Pumped full of the same shit the agency uses.

Pursuing suspect in assassination.

Put in unfriendly territory on a loan out and left as expendable.

Put it there 15 years ago. Don't figure it's moved since then.

Put them up. Keep them up.

Put your gun down!

Put your weapon down! Put it down!

Question is, for whom?

Quit your struggling.

Radio check. Do you read me?

Raises its head and confronts freedom,

Ralphie's dead.

Range it.

Raping and murdering innocent women and children, you sick fuck?

Really strange company. Contracts with a lot of the Fortune 500.

Really trust me?

Recovered at the site.

Recruitment for a single job.

Red leather spine.

Regardless of how I feel about this,

Right at the church steeple.

Right on time, like he was supposed to.

Right.

Right. Definitely my bullets.

Roger that. We copy. Checkpoint down, over.

Roughly the location I'd have put them in

Russo. Russo!

Said the guy's name was Bob Lee Swagger.

Sake of argument, somebody other than him?

Salt, water, an injector could be used for an IV,

Sarah's headed off to nursing school next month.

Save me.

Say a man wanted to fire a bullet from one rifle

Says he didn't shoot no one, but I don't know.

Scouting shooting locations, traveling and taking wind readings.

Search him.

Second set belongs to Special Agent Nick Memphis

Sector Bravo, deep.

See the guy in the Eagles jacket?

Seems I heard about a shot like that being made not too long ago.

Seems like a pretty good second choice, don't you think?

Seems no one goes through the trouble to change them anymore.

Seems you call the police and hang up without saying anything,

Senator Meachum couldn't be with us today.

Sergeant Swagger, you asked for this meeting.

Sergeant Swagger, you asked for this meeting.

Sergeant, you've got five minutes.

Seven year veteran Philadelphia police officer Stanley Timmons,

Several lines into his speech.

She thinks it was him, but it was dark because the power was out in the store.

She went back to using her maiden name,

She's maybe the only person in the entire world

Shells everywhere, helicopter remnants, blood. No bodies, though, right?

Shit! The channel's down!

Shit. Oh, fuck.

Shoot a dog in this county on a man's land,

Shot requires a large caliber weapon.

Shot's got to be taken from Philly.

Shots fired! Shots fired!

Shows the suspect, Gunnery Sergeant Bob Lee Swagger,

Shut it down.

Signed and dated by Bob Lee Swagger just 10 days ago.

Sir, I have visual confirmation of TS 129's current position.

Sir, I'm going to need you to take off your hat

Sir, you should take a look at these.

Sir?

Sir...

Slightly lower ballistics coefficient,

Slow is smooth, smooth is fast. Let's see it.

Slowly.

So a pipeline could go through.

So it can be stopped.

So that's it? That's the best you can do?

So the gunnery sergeant doesn't have to bury you in the hill.

So the next village won't need to be asked.

So they asked them all nicely to move

So unless he can stop the bleeding without going to the hospital or a doctor,

So we could stop it.

So what exactly are we getting ready for?

So you get it straight. You in or you out?

So you have to shoot at where the target's going to be.

So you sit there and be quiet.

Some people don't know what to do when their belief system collapses.

Some say he crawled out of there.

Some say he died.

Somehow the villagers didn't think

Someone there?

Someone will be at this number night or day.

Something foolhardy. Kept some other boys alive.

Something I need to tell you.

Sometimes to catch a wolf, you need to tie the bait to a tree.

Somewhere I can see you,

Son of a bitch.

Special Agent Memphis, you believe I shot that Archbishop?

Special Agent Nick Memphis, FBI! Don't shoot!

Stand by, all teams. This is Listening Post.

Start a trace.

State of the art. 1870s Africa.

Still got the shovel.

Sure you want to do that?

Sure you will.

Sure, some years we do.

Suspect is armed and dangerous.

Suspect is armed and dangerous. I repeat,
