SWAT 4: The Movie Script
OFFICER DOWN, OFFICER ANDAGENTLEMAN, OFFICER DIBBLE and HANK stand in a rain washed street, weapons at the ready. HANK plants a breaching charge on the back door to a building. OFFICER DOWN takes out a gun-shaped camera device.
I’ll use the Opti-Wand!
HANK
We don’t need to, there’s no-one behind this.
OFFICER DOWN holsters the OPTI-WAND with a silent sadness. HANK detonates the breaching charge.
OFFICER ANDAGENTLEMAN
Police! Everybody get down!
OFFICER DIBBLE
Get down and put your hands up!
OFFICER DOWN
Everybody freeze!
The smoke clears. The hallway beyond is empty. OFFICER DOWN and OFFICER ANDAGENTLEMAN progress down the hall and turn into a side room.
OFFICER DOWN
Police! Hands up!
CIVILIAN
Don’t shoot! I’m not one of them!
OFFICER ANDAGENTLEMAN
Get on your knees and put your hands behind your head!
OFFICER ANDAGENTLEMAN readies his zip-cuffs. The CIVILIAN continues to stand.
CIVILIAN
This is my shop! I’m not a criminal!
OFFICER ANDAGENTLEMAN
Shut the fuck up, sir.
CIVILIAN
I didn’t do anything wrong!
OFFICER DOWN
I’m going to shoot him.
OFFICER ANDAGENTLEMAN
Don’t shoot him! Sir, you have one more fucking chance to put your fucking hands up before we fucking kneecap you.
CIVILIAN
This is my shop! Why don’t you go after the shooters?
OFFICER DOWN shoots the CIVILIAN in the knee.
CIVILIAN
Aaaaaaarggh! Oh God!
The CIVILIAN tries to hobble out of the room.
OFFICER ANDAGENTLEMAN
PUT YOUR FUCKING HANDS ON YOUR FUCKING HEAD OR I SWEAR TO GOD, SIR…
The CIVILIAN cowers in the corner. OFFICER ANDAGENTLEMAN puts his zip cuffs away, draws his M1911 pistol and shoots him in the other knee.
CIVILIAN
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGHH! Oh Jesus, help me!
OFFICER DOWN
We’re going to have to kill him.
OFFICER DIBBLE passes and stops in the doorway.
OFFICER DIBBLE
That looks really bad from out here.
OFFICER ANDAGENTLEMAN looks at the CIVILIAN with infinite sadness. OFFICER DOWN shoots the CIVLIAN in the leg again.
CIVILIAN
Aaaaah!
OFFICER ANDAGENTLEMAN shoots the CIVILIAN in the leg again. OFFICER DOWN shoots the CIVLIAN in the leg again. OFFICER ANDAGENTLEMAN shoots the CIVILIAN in the leg again. The CIVILIAN collapses. OFFICER ANDAGENTLEMAN shoots him three times in the face. Fade to black.
