Quick recap

Los Angeles, 1997, in a heat wave and in the middle of a cartel war. Lt. Mike Harrigan watches drug dealers get slaughtered by someone nobody can identify. A federal task force led by agent Peter Keyes takes over and tells Harrigan to back off. His partners, Danny and Jerry, are killed by the Predator. Keyes reveals the plan: capture the creature and its technology. The trap fails, and the hunter wipes out his whole team. Harrigan chases the Predator to its ship hidden underground and kills it inside. Other Predators show up, collect the body and let him go. First, an elder hands Harrigan an old pistol dated 1715 as a trophy.
