www.able.co.nz Able 2015 (RADIO) "Hilton security room, be advised. Rawhide moving to the cars." (RADIO CRACKLES) "Security room, copy." "All posts, all posts, be advised. Rawhide moving to the cars." (GUNSHOTS) "Shots fired! Shots fired!" "Gun! Gun! Gun!" "Secure the scene!" "We need a car. We need transport. Get transport over here quickly." (SHOUTING) Move it to the car! Move it to the car! (SIRENS WAIL / SHOUTING) (BEEPS) Welcome to SportsCenter on ESPN as the preseason draws to a close. Detroit beat New Orleans, 28-20, as the start of the season approaches. We saw Philadelphia absolutely crush Washington last night. In other preseason action, New York handled Chicago, easily... (WHIRRS) (GATE BUZZES) Morning, Jack. "Command Post to Tomahawk Seven. What's your status?" "Tomahawk Seven, copy. Sector is all clear." "OK, Seven, break." "Tomahawk Eight, what's your status?" "Command Post, from Eight. Eight is clear, all clear." Good morning, gentlemen. Morning, Mr President. Your locator. Thank you. Today's brief, sir. Thank you. Everybody sleep well? Mmm. Thank you. Yes, sir. "Classic has received his locator and brief and is up and about." "A-4, from Command Post, roger that. Everybody, Classic is up and about." Hey, Jack. Hey, Charl. (LAUGHS) Come on, come on. Cough it up. Ah, goddamn spread. Cough up. Listen, er, I wanna talk to you. Give me a call after work. He's a glutton for punishment. Aziz, good morning. We can talk now. No, no. I got a theory I want to float by you. Everything alright? Yeah, everything's good. Pete. After work, right? You know what I'm saying? If they can get anything for him. He's junk. Aziz, don't give up soccer, huh? Hey, Teddy. Welcome back. Hey, thanks. Gar. Buddy. How'd the antiterrorist training go? Six weeks running in the rain. I wish I could do it all over again. That can be arranged. Tom. Good morning, Pete. Is she in the gym? No, er, phone to Europe. By the way, you, er, made Time. It's very... fancy. Ooh, I look good. Can I get a cup of coffee? What's happening at Camp David? Matt's getting closer with Ben-Itzak on the East Jerusalem proposal. And Abu Jalal? If we can work out the water issues, he'll support it. We're not gonna get any commitments till they have face time on Friday. I'll be there. I won't hang around cos it loses its effectiveness. I understand, sir. Thank you, Sue. "A-4 to Command Post. Classic is in the Oval." We'll depart the House at 12:55pm, arrive at Chilton Street School at 1:10. There is a diagram of the school with your paperwork. Boss. Thank you. (SLURPS / LAUGHTER) (Kiss ass.) Speeches and signings should take under... Where's my coffee? Cincinnati's next move is TBD. What's the "B" stand for? Brass ones. Which you don't have. Ooh! Ouch! (LAUGHTER) Any other questions? Get to work. "All units, Pontiac and Raven are in the yard and ready to go." Cincinnati's on the move. "Copy that. All posts, Cincinnati moving to the cars. Break." "Montrose, what's your status?" We're off to...? We're off to school. Classic is moving. "Montrose, Command Post, copy that. Break. All posts, be advised, Classic moving to the cars." "Copy, Command. Cincinnati is in the car." Classic is in the car. "One and two back. Break." "Command Post, signal departure, en route. Canvas his location. Set." (SIREN WAILS) "This is Chilton Security. Countersnipers in place." Ah, damn locator. School security room, from EOD-1 be advised, the sweeps are complete. "All posts, be advised, full security now in effect." Thanks for doing this with me, hon. Hmm. I think I'll go to the beach house this afternoon. Alright. "Command Post to Apache." (DISTORTED VOICES) Can I help you? Erm, Agent Breckinridge's office. Thanks. Anything else I can help you with? No. I'm fine. Thanks. Agent Breckinridge. Jill Marin, sir. Your secretary said I could come in. Secretary? You're late. It's a minute past. Yeah. And that makes you late. Right. Sorry. Hispanic woman. Four languages. Computer skills. Second in your class at the Academy. Aren't you the recruiting poster? Resumes don't mean a lot to me, and they mean nothing on the street. Any other supportive advice before we get to know each other (?) As a matter of fact, there is. If you want a career here in PID, you might want to invest in some more appropriate clothing. I was ordered to take you on. That's why I'm here. You requested me as a TA, why? My field instructor said you're the best investigator we have. Who is that? Pete Garrison. Right. "Command Post from Apache follow-up. We have an arrival." "Hold all radio for central traffic only. We have an arrival." No autographs. (SPEAKS GERMAN) At your six, Jefferson. Tweed jacket, halfway up the church steps. What's the matter? Somebody on the watch list? He doesn't look right. "Check out the top view." It'll be just another minute, sir. Alright. Excuse me. Hi, sir. Could we see your hands? Take your hands out of the jacket. We're clear. "Alright. Classic's coming out." I think we should hold hands. Fine. All posts from Chilton Security. We're comin' out. (CROWD CHEERS) Mr President, keep up the good work! Hi. How are you? President Ballentine! "All posts, all posts, Classic and Cinci moving to hold." Cincinnati's going direct to the beach house. Got it. # I've got peace like a river in my soul # I've got peace like a river # I've got peace like a river # I've got peace like a river in my soul # I've got love like an ocean I've got love like an ocean # I've got love like an ocean in my soul # I've got love like an ocean I've got love like an ocean # I want to introduce you to someone... "All posts, Classic wrapping up." ..my wife, Sarah. (APPLAUSE) Thank you. "DiPaola to command. Cincinnati leaving school for Serenity." "Break. DiPaola to Serenity security room. ETA 1800 hours." How do you think it went in there? Excuse me, ma'am, are you talking to me? Yes. I thought it was, er, an excellent speech. One to 10? Ten, ma'am. You're not a very good liar, Pete. Seriously? Yes. I really want to know. 9.5. (LAUGHS) Excuse me. Charlie? Charlie. Charlie! Oh! Charlie! Somebody! Help! Charlie. Charlie. Somebody help! (DISTORTED VOICES) "I just wanted to say hi. I just wanna let you know what's goin' on." "I hate you! (CHUCKLES) I saw you on the news. I got your message." "I know you want me to kill you." Excuse me. Erm, yeah. Sorry. So, all of these are from last week? That's about half of them. And then... there are the verbal threats. "He's a dead man." "I'm gonna kill him and his whole family." He's ruinin' this country. I'm gonna gut - They sound worse in English. We got this guy yesterday. Did you translate this? No. But whoever did is not a native speaker. How do you know that? Well, he translated here... (SPEAKS SPANISH) That means "To put pressure on him, he bit the guy." As if he was being tortured. But that's not what it means here. It's slang. It means he bribed him. He didn't bite him. (CHUCKLES) Good. We need to talk. I think you have a little spinach or something in your teeth. I want you to route all calls through to my cell. You picked a hell of a day to start. Button up your jacket. Why? What's goin' on? Here's the Secret Service. I don't need them breathin' down my neck. What the hell do they know about investigating a murder? She can breathe down my neck. But not him. Agents Breckinridge and Marin. Secret Service. You guys bring lunch? Not today. The way I see it, he hands over the wallet. As the guy reaches for it, Merriweather goes for his gun. Bad guy shoots him first. You think this is a street crime? In my gut, yeah. You know my problem with gut feelings? The only evidence you see is the evidence that reinforces it. Human nature. There's no money in his wallet and there's been a series of robberies here. You have some reason to think it wasn't a robbery? He spent the last 25 years honing his ability to sense danger, so for some street criminal to get the drop on him, it raises questions. Not to mention that he's been shot twice with a .45. And from your initial canvassing, I bet you no-one heard anything. Any homicide cop will tell you that sort of thing happens all the time. Yeah, I bet they would, detective. Rosario. Hello, Miss Sarah. Anyone want anything to eat or drink? No, thanks, ma'am, we're fine. I'm hungry. Tom, sweep downstairs and go for dinner. I'll sweep upstairs, sit post till the shift change. You sure? You've been on just long. You gonna make me change my mind? Take a look at the bullet mark on the doorjamb. The slug didn't penetrate. It's cedar, which is a soft wood. It gets brittle with age. So what are you sayin'? Bad guy used a silencer. That's why nobody heard it. That's what slowed down the bullet and stopped it from penetrating the wood. Which it would have done had it been travelling at its normal rate of speed. The shooter was standing right here. One other thing, Detective. Excuse me. Agent Merriweather's firearm, the safety's still on. We assumed he just didn't have time to flick it off. Agent Marin, why don't you explain to the detectives why that is unlikely? If he was an officer, it'd make sense cos your academy trains you to draw your weapon and flip the safety in two separate actions to avoid accidental shootings. Our academy trains us to draw and flip in a single motion. So his safety should have been off. A protective agent maybe draws his weapon once a presidential term. When we draw our weapon, we intend to use it. He was assassinated. I want the murder weapon. I don't care if you have to drag the Potomac. If he was one of yours, you'd have treated him with a lot more respect. Let's get a gurney up here! It always amazes me how thorough you are. We try to do the best job we can. Hopefully you sleep better at night. And I definitely do. Garrison, DiPaola. We're good on the perimeter. Roger. I let DiPaola go early so, er, he can get something to eat. Hi. Hi. You alright? I missed you. I missed you so much. Just a second. OK. I love you, Sarah. "Garrison, DiPaola. Where are you? Garrison, where are you?" Shit! Yeah, I'm on my way. Hi. What the hell is going on...? Aziz, what are you doin' here? Charlie Merriweather was murdered. He... He was murdered? PID thinks it might be connected to work. Director put us on alert. I'm sorry. I know he was your friend. Was there any kind of shift in his behaviour? Was he agitated, worried? He was a little distant at breakfast on Sunday. Did he tell you why? Just said he had a couple of tough days at work. What'd he say at breakfast? Some gossip. It's kind of personal. I know how difficult this is for you but I need a complete picture if I'm gonna investigate this properly. Pete Garrison was having an affair with someone's wife at work. Just gossip. It just... Yeah. Probably not even true. Look, that's all we need for now. You got the lead on Charlie's murder? Screw you. What?! Screw you. You still got a problem with me? Take your hands off of me. Christ! It doesn't matter what I say to you. I don't care if you got a problem with me but you show respect here. Charlie was one of my best friends. If you have information, that I wanna hear. Otherwise, stay outta my way. You're a piece of work. Nancy did say one thing. Charlie was upset about something at work. Any idea what that might be? No. If you figure it out, you know where to find me. I'll send you a memo. Do that. Hey. Is everything OK? Hey, Jill. Yeah. You workin' with him now? Yeah. Keep your eyes open. You may learn a lot. But don't listen to everything he's got to say. Especially about me. OK. Pete. There some problem between you two? I thought you were friends. We were. So what happened? It's personal. Let's go. No, I don't wanna talk to him. Just tell him it wasn't me. It wasn't anybody! I'm not saying it was. I wasn't having an affair! I know. I've already told him 30 times. This is why I left him. He's the most pigheaded man I've ever met. You still love him, don't you? (INDISTICT VOICES) Hey, Pete. Pete. Hey, Tom. You know Walter Xavier? Yeah. He's a snitch I used in Counterfeiting. Just fielded a call from him. I told him you weren't running informants, offered to transfer the call to WFO, PID, but he'd only talk to you. Thanks. There he is! Publishers Clearing House, my man! You got somethin' for me? Did you fill yours out yet? Every year my mom bugs me to fill that thing out. I never do. Long time, no see, Walter. What's up? Let's walk. Got some info on that Charlie Merriweather murder? That agent who was killed? Yeah. Maybe he stumbled into something he wasn't supposed to, like I did. What was that something? A plot to kill the president. Walter, you know, it's a little more difficult than it sounds. Not if you got somebody inside. Are you saying there's a mole in the Secret Service? That's right. There's an agent who wants to help assassinate the president? Yep. Well, what's his name? I don't know. I just know he exists. How? Who's giving you the information? I want $1m. What are you smoking, Walter? Now be serious. I'm dead serious. I tell you, you roll these guys up, they gonna know I'm the one. They'll hunt me down. We'll put you in protective custody. Yeah, and I'll be dead in a day. You got a traitor in your organisation. Get me the money, I'll disappear. It's pretty far-fetched we got agents in on an assassination attempt. Here. Maybe this will change your mind. (CAMERA CLICKS) Call signs, code words, today's encryption keys! They're either on the president's detail or in a key liaison position. I want a list of everyone who's got "Q" clearance. Where's the president now? Press conference at his house, 20 mins. "This morning's action demonstrates our continuing resolve to take on the infrastructure of terrorism wherever we find it..." How reliable is this guy Xavier? I've built three counterfeiting cases using his information. Against who? Mid-level guys, Barranquilla Cartel. Sir. That's everyone with "Q" clearance. 'Those who actually commit terrorist acts.' Polygraph everyone on there. Stand up a red team to find the traitor. I'm going to assume that the hit on Merriweather is connected to this, so let's fold that investigation in as well. And we put Breckinridge in charge. He's the best we've got? Yeah. Pete, he's kind of a protege of yours. What do you think? He'll follow the evidence wherever it leads him. He's the guy. You can have anybody you want. From ID, from the field. You get carte blanche. Not right now. Oh, sorry. I can tell personnel you need to lose the rookie. I'm gonna keep her. She hasn't been ruined by years in the field. "I will blow you up. I come to bomb this country." "..holy wars." We have intel that Al Qaeda have met with the Barranquilla leadership. You think it's timed to coincide with the Camp David talks? Probably. The threat alone interferes with the process. We pulled 50 agents in who haven't worked here in at least two cycles. They'll integrate with your teams. We're all gonna be looking over each other's shoulders till we find him. Do what you have to to protect me, but I want the threat, the investigation, I want everything kept classified. As far as the public's concerned, I'm carrying on my normal business. We're going to need to get everyone involved here. What would happen if people thought I wasn't even safe from my own Secret Service? It took over 200 years to create the symbol of the presidency and I'm not gonna undermine it with something like this. Let's circle the wagons, OK? You alright? Fine. Good. How do we proceed? Bill, you're the guy. You're the last line of defence. You can protect him better than any of us can. Is there anything else that you can think of that'll help you do that? Yeah. This. And I promise you, right here and now, we're gonna win this one. (APPLAUSE) Thank you very much. Good night. Heads it's Sixth Street, tails it's Eighth. Bravo cars. This way, Mr President. Thank you. Classic is moving to bravo cars. "Alpha cars, you're off the hook." Sir, could you put down that knife? It's not what they wanted to hear, it is what they needed to hear. Hi. Where'd this guy come from? He's an old CI of Garrison's. Nine, ten years. Garrison? Mm-hmm. (ELEVATOR PINGS) What's wrong? It's nothing. Are you sure? Yes. How do I find Xavier? Erm, I don't know where he lives. He's a fanatic about not being followed. You ever tried? What? Have you ever tried? He wants a million bucks from us, Dave. I'm sure he'll contact us. You'd better be right. Get in touch with us as soon as you find him. Could be any one of them. It makes you a little sick, doesn't it? What percentage of your people have had a polygraph? A little over half. "Over half"? The president's life is at stake. Heads up! I want everybody in this room to have had a polygraph by 5pm or don't show up for work tomorrow. Were you born in Morocco? No. Do you live in Bethesda? No. Were you born in Alabama? No. Have you ever had contact with child pornography? Yes. I was involved with an investigation with - Just yes or no answers. OK, Stan. Yes. Are you up? The witch hunt is on. Get your polygraph today. How did they get these? Night-vision camera on a boat stabilised by a gyroscope. Pretty sophisticated. I'm so sorry, Sarah. I'm sorry. It's gotta be someone inside the Service. Somebody could've picked it up. They are good. That's what they do. Who? The same agent plotting to kill John? Who? 141 years, there's never been a traitor in the Secret Service. Now, all of a sudden, there's two? I don't buy that. Somehow they're connected. Maybe this is the assassination? This is a death sentence for John, a political death sentence. That's not gonna happen. Oh, Pete. Sarah, I promise. Let's get this witch hunt over with. Just relax. I'm relaxed. Were you divorced in 1998? No. Have you received adequate training for your profession? No. But I did stay in a Holiday Inn Express. Have you violated Secret Service protocol in the past 30 days? No. Have you done anything in the past 30 days to violate protocol? No. Are you involved in a plot to kill the president of the US? (ALL) No. I could use a few of those. Thanks. You look exhausted, Bill. You look worse. I haven't slept since we went on alert. Well, I'm back on. It's worse than going to confession. Have you done your polygraph yet? I can't even let you back on duty unless... Yeah, I'll go now. Is your name Peter Garrison? Yes. Are you involved in a plot to kill the president? No. Were you divorced in 1998? Yes. Have you violated Secret Service protocols in the last 30 days? No. Have you done anything to endanger the life of our president in the last six months? Not that I know of. Yes or no answers, please. No. No. Welcome to Mayflower Hotel. (CAMERA CLICKS) Mayflower Hotel, can I help you? Just a moment, sir. Are you Mr Garrison? Yes. You have a phone call. You can take it here. Thank you. "Walk three blocks east on Massachusetts Avenue." "Take a left on 12th Street. Las Palmas Coffee Shop." (PHONE RINGS) (TANNOY ANNOUNCEMENT) "Now boarding on track 4, Acela Express with stops in Philadelphia, New York, Boston. Now boarding, track 4." (ENGINE ROARS) FBI! Drop it! Federal agent! Federal agent! The gun is going down! Back up now. Back up. Turn around! What the hell were you doin' at Las Palmas? Havin' a cup of coffee. Is that one of your agents I'm following? Sorry for the crossover. Pete! I called four times. Where the hell have you been? We're not out of here till tomorrow. The president decided they should arrive together. Oh! Excuse me. Oh, here we are. Now, Kate, this is your weekend to catch the trout. I don't like worms. Pete, can I talk to you a minute? Yes, sir. We're really, both of us, in uncharted territory here, aren't we? An assassin inside the Secret Service? Inside my detail? Bill's been briefing me, but this guy's your informant, right? Yes, sir. I want to get some of this first hand, so let's make time at Camp David to do that, alright? Yes, sir. Good afternoon, Mr President. Afternoon. I'll see you at dinner. Karen, how do things stand? It's time for you to weigh in. Can I get you in there now? Absolutely. Sarah, the wives are having tea. If you'd stop by, it'd be great. Sure. Tom, we're gonna walk it. What's going on, Pete? Why don't they just tell us what they want? It's gonna be fine. Nothing about this feels fine. It will be. Has that guy called you? What's his name? Xavier. Has he called you? Not yet, no. Katie, hi. Good afternoon, ma'am. Would you care for tea? It's such a beautiful day. Why don't we have tea outside? Well, that's a great idea. You guys all decent? Afraid so. Your informant's on the phone. "Do you got the money?" I got $100,000 and a legal document guaranteeing you the rest once the traitor's apprehended. "Yeah, right (!)" Walter, we haven't screwed you in the past. I'm not gonna start now. Otherwise our sources would dry up. "Allenwood Mall food court, 11am." "And don't try to bring nobody. I'll walk if I spot 'em." I cannot get there in 20 minutes. "Drive fast." OK, you heard him. Let's go. Breckinridge and Marin are en route. Get the money bag and a car ready, please. He knows we're following him. He went where he can mix up with a crowd. We can't get surveillance in. There's no way I'm gonna let you go without a backup. Chaminski goes. Let's go. (DISTORTED CONVERSATIONS) At your one. "Watch your three. Watch your three." Check your nine. Check your nine! Check your nine! Check your nine! (GUNSHOT) (SCREAMING / GUNSHOTS) Get down! Secret Service! Get down! Shots fired. Shots fired. Agent down. "Copy that. Command, we need backup at the Allenwood Mall. Agent down." The shooter has blond hair, dark jacket. He's on the lower level. "Copy. Available units, 20 minutes." (SIREN WAILS) They're shooting! Heads. (TYRES SCREECH) We're at the north end. I'm a hundred yards south of you. Unholster your weapon. Keep it down. Work your way towards me. Copy. Stagger off 10 feet. Get out of here! Take the point. (GLASS BREAKS) I don't have a visual! Go! "Garrison, additional agents and medical assist are en route." "All units, be advised. Shots fired, Allenwood Mall." "One agent is down. Multiple civilian casualties." "Shooter is male, blond hair, dark jacket." (SIRENS WAIL) Pete. Pete! OK? Do you have any idea why your informant wanted to have you killed? No. I'm wondering the same thing. You might wanna figure that one out. Pete! Presidential helicopter just went down. "This is a news centre special report." "The presidential helicopter, Marine One, has crashed." (FLAMES ROAR / REPORTERS CHATTER) "Marine One, the presidential helicopter has crashed." "It happened just moments ago half mile south of Camp David. The chopper went down..." "We're now hearing reports the president was not on board." "We can now confirm that neither the president or the first lady were on board at the time of the crash." "The president and first lady are safe." "These are live pictures just outside Camp David..." (SPEAK FOREIGN LANGUAGE) "Two hikers who witnessed the crash reported seeing a fiery trail just before that helicopter went down." Our friend was insufficiently motivated. "We want to make clear that the president and first lady are safe." (SPEAKS FOREIGN LANGUAGE) (INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS) (PHONES AND CONVERSATIONS CONTINUE) (BIRDSONG) # Nobody makes soup in a cup # Like Continental Cup A Soup ! # "These are live pictures from the scene outside Camp David where earlier today, Marine One went down just after takeoff." "Sources say marine and Secret Service personnel were on that aircraft and they were killed in the crash." "This crash is being investigated by the White House and the military." You failed. "I did exactly what I promised." He... wasn't... on... board. That is the only thing that matters. (SHOUTS) That is the only thing I give a shit... Do you understand? We're gonna meet and we're gonna discuss this. "Deadly against any low-altitude aircraft, including jets and helicopters." "That comes from witnesses. Is not confirmed..." (KNOCK ON DOOR) Well, it sure doesn't look like you're here to bury the hatchet. You're being investigated for treason. What are you talk...? Step back. Excuse me? Step back. Hey, Jill. Pete. Matt. Pete. Sorry for the intrusion, sir. If I failed the polygraph, why am I still on duty? Director didn't want to arrest one of the guys who saved Reagan's life without a little more evidence. How long you been working for the Barranquilla Cartel? What are you talking about? Hugo, come in. Pete Garrison, Special Agent Ortega with the FBI. What were you doing at Las Palmas Coffee Shop? Having a cup of coffee. Takes you four hours to have a cup of coffee? I was killing time. DiPaola said he called you four times and you almost missed the Marine One flight. They moved the flight up two hours. The coffee shop was noisy. What is this? Why the hell are you following me? Las Palmas Coffee Shop is a dead drop for the Barranquilla Cartel. You screwed up. You walked into a stakeout. I wanna know your go-to guy. And I wanna know how you were gonna help them kill the president. Why would I want to kill the president? What motive do I have? To be honest with you, I don't care. I know what the evidence tells me. I have given my entire life to the Secret Service. I've gotten up at 4am every goddamn morning. Is that what this is about? You're bitter that they didn't make you director? Oh, no. Don't confuse your own ambition with mine. Think about it. People would understand that. You took a bullet for the President of the US. And you haven't even made shift supervisor on a presidential detail. But they don't put guys that bend the rules in charge of PPD, do they? Even if they did take a bullet for the old man. Is that your professional or personal opinion? You're nailed to the wall. I didn't have an affair with Cindy. We are not talking about that! We're talking about it all the time, even when we're not talking about it! You can't look at me without thinking about it! You'd better get a grip. I got a grip. You think I wrecked your marriage, and it has clouded your judgment. I am following the evidence and it is overwhelming. The polygraph. Las Palmas. You had unfettered access to Marine One. It was hit by a missile! It was hit by a missile cos the flares and the four other countermeasures were disengaged! There was a hundred other people who had access to it. Explain to me about the bank account. The what?! Your signature's all over the paperwork. I'm being framed. Tell me that's not your signature. Think about it! I initiated this investigation. Why would I do that if I wanted to kill the president? You initiated this investigation for a traitor in our department so that when the assassination took place, you wouldn't be a suspect. Goddammit! Just think about it. You take me in, that's the end. (WHISTLE) The director just rolled up outside. You'd better start thinking about cooperating. He's in the car. What are you doing, Pete? Getting a glass of water. Director's come all the way down here to see me, huh? Very impressive. It's embarrassing for us, sir. Want a beer? We're really... (THUD!) Garrison, back door. Oh, shit! Pete! Pete! Where is he? (GASPS) This is Breckinridge. Garrison has escaped into the alley. Cordon off the area. He got my radio. He got my gun too. He got your gun and your radio? What the hell are you lookin' at her for? She's been here two days. How long have you been here? Where to, mister? Just get me out of here. (RADIO CHATTER) I know it's hard to believe Pete Garrison could be involved with something like this. For most of you he's a friend, to some, a legend. But the fact is, the evidence against him is overwhelming. So, how do we find him? Know this. He is smarter and more experienced than all of you. You've never trained for this. You are chasing your worst nightmare. He knows how you think, knows what you know. Knows how you operate. And he will use that against you. He also knows that it's gonna be very difficult for you to pull the trigger if you have him in your sights. So I want you to take a second and visualise that, because there is a very good chance that is how this is going to end. Can I have one of these here? Yeah, sure. Take it. (PHONE RINGS) Yeah? "Fullback, Backstop. Do you have an arrival?" "Backstop, Fullback. We have arrival." (GIGGLES) "Backstop. Go." "Cincinnati wrapping up. We're alpha for departure." (PIANO MUSIC / CHATTERING) He taps him on the back and the bear says, "You didn't come here to hunt, did ya?" Get it? The bear. That's not funny, man. (LAUGHS) That joke ain't funny at all. (PHONE RINGS) "Fullback. We're movin'." "Roger that." See you later, OK? Be right back. Thank you. Welke to DiPaola. Cincinnati's coming to you. Copy that. (DOOR RATTLES) Ma'am. What are you doing here? I heard you were arrested for the helicopter. Whatever you hear about me, I want you to know I was framed. I had to tell you to your face. No, you don't. No, you don't. We're gonna get out of this. How? I haven't figured that out yet. This is out of control. You've got to turn yourself in. No. Yes, you do. I'll go to John, tell him everything. I can't let you. Pete, they think you're an assassin. They will kill you. You can cover my back. How? The director has a daily password for the agents. Find it out. I'm checking through stuff. Hey, guys. Garrison just used his cellphone. He called Chez Doucette. You turned around when it rang, didn't you? Yeah, I did. Ballsy. Very ballsy. DiPaola said she seemed unfazed. She came upstairs, waited five minutes and told him what happened. I'm trying to understand why he came and why she reacted that way. This is your post? Yeah, it is. She doesn't want to believe the man protecting her for eight months is trying to assassinate her husband. That's why Pete came here. He's looking for an ally. The first lady is a powerful ally to have. Great (!) The idea is to secure the entire site. Get every stolen car report for the entire area. Look for cars that were taken within walking distance of the restaurant. I want you to isolate Accords, Tauruses, Camrys and Explorers. How do you know what kind of car? Pete knows those are the four most commonly registered vehicles here. He's gonna want to blend in. And he's gonna wanna find his informant. (ALARM BEEPS) If breaches our computers, we can find out where he's connecting from. He knows we would know that. He could connect to someone else. How? He'd need that person's password. As a supervisor, it wouldn't be hard to get access to passwords. Why would he do that? Why risk it? Cos he feels trapped. We have his cards, his cellphone. He has no other place to hide. Can I help you? Oh, yes, ma'am. My name is Lawson Smith. I'm looking for a Walter Xavier. Oh, lovely boy, but he been gone a long time. This is the address we have on his sweepstakes form. Sweepstakes? Yes, ma'am. I'm with Publishers Clearing House. He win? Well, he's a finalist. Million dollars. And you must be his mother. Uh-huh. Mrs Miller. I'm remarried. Would you have another address or telephone number for him? I'd love to help ya get in touch with Walter. Bet he could use the money, but I don't know where he is. Walter and me haven't spoke in three years. Well, if you do talk to him, tell him we got in touch. Thank you, ma'am. Have a good day. (PHONE RINGS) (COMPUTERISED) "Leave a message." Walter, it's Mom. A guy just come by the house lookin' for ya. He's a cop. (DIALLING TONE) It doesn't make sense. All he cares about in life is his job. And you know this why? Because he ran your field exercises? Listen. Pete Garrison was my best friend for 10 years till he slept with my wife. The only thing Pete Garrison cares about is Pete Garrison. Yeah? Somebody who's not Tom DiPaola signed into our databases using DiPaolo's password. Pulled up an address in Andrewsboro, Maryland. I don't believe this. Get the rest of the team ready. Let's go. (BIRDS SQUAWK) (FLIES BUZZ) Walter! (RADIO PLAYS) (ENGINES ROAR) Notify Intel we've got a body. (RADIO CHATTER) Take the car around to the other side! (PANTS) (BARKS) Pete! Pete! Dammit! This is Breckinridge. I'm in a salvage boat. Set up a perimeter. Do you copy? Copy that. Whoa. Secret Service. Get your men to the back of the boat. Pete, don't move! Pete! The traitor is still out there, Dave. Fine. If that's true, come on in. We'll protect you. The only reason I'm alive is they don't know where I am. Don't. No way! Don't make me do this. Pete! (GUNSHOT) You want to shoot me? Forget about the Kevlar. Shoot me in my face! Dave! My buddy! Come on! Shoot me! Come on. Shoot me. What happened? I took him down with a shot to the vest. I couldn't take the second shot. What's the least contained environment the president's going to be in? G8 Summit, Toronto. It's a nightmare for us. Canadians are allowing the protestors up to the three perimeter. The border won't stop him. It's 3500 miles long and barely patrolled. You really think it's him, don't you? (TAPPING) (GASPS) You scared the hell outta me! I'm sorry. I can explain everything. What's going on? I think Charlie got wind of an assassination plot by one of the other agents, so I wanna check his computer files, see if there's any evidence. Is that why there's a car watching the house? The maroon Cadillac. Who are they? I think they're the guys that got Charlie. I need the keys to your car. Call the police. Not the Secret Service. The police. Tell 'em about the Cadillac. OK. Thanks. I was waiting there three hours. Nobody showed up. "I didn't wanna stay there all day. She didn't go nowhere, so I left." What do you want me to do? Come on. Yes, yes, by herself. OK. Yeah, yeah. No, no. What do you want? I'm not gonna stay there all night. She's not gonna be a problem. No, no. No. Yes, yes, by herself. Everything's gonna be OK. (GUNSHOTS) Shooting. Shooting. (GROANS) (SPEAKS RUSSIAN) Huh? Huh? Shooting! (GROANS) Your name? Your name! "Who sent you?" Who sent you! Come on. Come on. (TYRES SCREECH) (GLASS BREAKS) Hi, Jill. Pete?! Yeah. I just got into a shootout. 1265 Leslie, Northwest. He's a foreign operative. He's got a lot of passports and a lot of cash. He's got full security access to the G8 Summit in Toronto tomorrow. OK, Pete. We're on it. But I really think you should come in. Yeah. We've been through the entire place. Be straight with me. What are you talking about? There's no body. There's blood all over the place. There's blood all over, but there's no body, no passports, no G8 credentials. This is not enough to clear you. Dave, I don't know what to tell you. They're gonna hit him in Toronto, G8 Summit. Pete. Pete?! (KNOCK ON DOOR) Sarah? Listen, I'm leaving for Toronto tonight. Montrose wants to move me early for security purposes. (PHONE RINGS) (PHONE RINGS) California. My sister. I'll call her back. This is the speech I'm gonna give. I'm reasonably happy. Maybe you could take a look at that if you get a chance. Sure. Then I'll see you tomorrow. I'll be up after the meeting. OK. Thanks. (ANSWER MACHINE) "One new message." "Sarah, I want you to know if I don't make it, I was doing my job." I've got to turn this off before they track me. I love you. Get the crime scene unit out here immediately. Find me something now. (PHONE RINGS) Agent Breckinridge. "Agent Breckinridge?" Sarah Ballentine. 'Come in.' Excuse me, ma'am. Thanks, Tom. Could I offer you a drink? No, thank you, ma'am. You know, most women don't like whiskey, but my mama was from Tennessee. Pete Garrison and I are having an affair. Please have a seat. And that's for you. You know, I don't know all the evidence you have against him but I do know why he failed the lie-detector test. And I know why he was in that coffee shop looking for someone. Hello. US Secret Service up for the G8. I got a priority item for the duty officer up at the lab. That'll be that direction on the eighth floor. Thank you. Sign the log, please. I need any prints that you can find off this cup. OK. Thank you very much. See you in about 12 minutes. (RADIO CHATTER) (ICE CRACKLES) (ALARM RINGS) If you want to grab a coffee... Marin. "Hey, Jill. It's Pete." A lot of people are looking for you. I'm sure they are. Did you find any prints at the apartment? No. Nothing. I did. You gotta help me out. If I e-mail you the prints, how long is it gonna take to check them out? Five minutes after I receive 'em. I'll call you five minutes after I send them. I've got a print in here. Could somebody run it for me, please? Yeah, I got it. Thank you. In my experience a guilty man doesn't break into a police station and check fingerprints for a few hours. What do you think? My phone was only on for five minutes. I was in the neighbourhood. I can't explain about the account. The other things I can explain. I know about the affair. It wasn't with Cindy. Oh, I know. The first lady. She told me everything. I know you're being framed. She showed me the blackmail photos. (SIGHS) So where does that leave us? We need to find this guy. Come here. Yeah. You really are an idiot, you know that? You honestly thought that this wouldn't be uncovered? I love her. Well, that's practical. The prints belong to Gennady Ivanov, former KGB, now works for the security service for the president of Karjastan. I'm also showing confirmed intel that this is the guy responsible for the Central Asian pipeline attacks. Confirmed intel on what? This is a classified conversation. We'll be two minutes. Whatever. Thank you. They've the finance and intelligence to pull this off. Let's get going. We've still gotta find the mole. We polygraphed every agent with access to the president. Yours was the only one that showed deception. Montrose had the list. I never guaranteed you success. Security's tighter than it's ever been. Routes, modes of transport, they're all random now. Yeah, but not random to you. If you wanted him on that helicopter you could have put him there. Now, you've been playing us since the beginning. Alright. Fair enough. That's not gonna work any more. You did make a deal. Yeah. 20 years ago with the KGB, which doesn't even exist any more. Do you want out, William? Then give me the president. Just like you agreed. No. I don't care. Expose me. I don't care if I spend the rest of my life in prison for treason. I don't care if you kill me. Here you go. Have a pint. Oh. Thank you. (SIGHS) William, if you don't do this, we're not gonna kill you. We are going to kill her. And we're gonna kill her. And then we're gonna kill her. Yes, William, the KGB's gone. But we're still here. William, it's alright. You do have a way out. But only one. When he finishes his speech, you take him on the primary route to the "B" motorcade under the plaza and you take the radios out. And that's it. And we'll do the rest. Hey, look. You can keep those. I got doubles. (PLAYS SMOOTH MUSIC) Tonight, I'll be eating a Spicy Bowl on rice with Ora King Salmon from Ha Poke. (DOORBELL DINGS) Kia ora! Whoa, whoa! What are you doing? Lighting! It's important. Jill, it's David. I want you to get in touch with Downing and Medina. Confirm for me which one did Montrose's polygraph. We're on our way to city hall. Got it. "Command Post from Apache follow-up. Arrive Martinez location 17:40." "Summon security, DiPaola. Cincinnati's moving to hold." "All posts, all posts, be advised. We have an arrival." "Only essential traffic at this time." Everybody ready? Yes, sir. Let's do this. (PHONE RINGS) Yeah, tell me what you got. Montrose didn't take the polygraph. You're 100% sure? Positive. They've no record of him being tested. Montrose didn't take it. (APPLAUSE) Now, let there be no mistake. In an uncertain and an unsafe world, America must be strong. But previous administrations... I also hacked into Merriweather's staff mail. He was streaming someone's offshore phone logs. The logs are Montrose's. Give me the phone. Hi, Jill. It's Pete. Get a hold of the first lady and tell her that it's Montrose. Got it. Jesus Christ, Pete. The first lady? What were you thinkin'? I never saw it coming, Dave. (UPBEAT MUSIC / CROWD CHANTS) "Be advised, they just allowed two armed credentialed American agents into the three perimeter from checkpoint 386." "Be advised, suspect Garrison has just been let through..." I've got a scope on Garrison. Jesus! I got Garrison through the three. This resolution... "Do not admit Garrison and Breckinridge." It's Garrison and Breck. Holster your weapon! I'm Agent Breckinridge. I issued the warrant on Pete Garrison. "Do I take the shot?" We must ratify the Kyoto Protocol. We must embrace the ideal of an African economic union. (APPLAUSE) He's a Do Not Admit. We have orders. I am countermanding your orders! Montrose controls this site. Don't call him! Montrose is the mole! What's the procedure for that? (WHISPERS) (Ma'am.) (RADIO CRACKLES) My radio just went dead. I don't have any radio. I've got silence on all channels. It's going down! (Agent Garrison wants me to tell you that Montrose is the mole.) But I strongly believe that we can protect our vital interests without causing so much resentment. Get your hands in the air! Put that down! (SHOUTING) You are a Do Not Admit! Mr President. Listen to me! Do not let him move the president! This way, Mr President. Do not let Montrose move the president! Crystal. Crystal is the password. We need your help. Tom, get the first lady to the motorcade. Freeze! Password is Crystal. Where'd Montrose take the president? Motorcade "B." Stay with me, ma'am. This way. It's this way. Where are we going? We're going to motorcade "C". That's a hell of a way to leave the G8. What is going on with these goddamn radios? (GUNSHOTS) Go in twos. What's next, boss? What's the next move? What's next? Bill?! Hold the corridor. Push 'em back. Crystal! We're cut off from the "B" motorcade. (PANTS) Are you OK? I think so. Turn off your locator. What? Your locator, turn it off. That's how they know where we are. They're tracking us. How do you...? How do you know? Oh, no, Bill. Oh, God! (GUNSHOTS) Montrose was... (GUNSHOTS) Pete. Pete! My family. My family. Pete! Mr President, you're gonna have to trust us. We're gonna get you up top to an evac car. (GROANS) Shooter's at 11 o'clock. I'll go high. You go low. Ready? Yeah. Go! Get the president upstairs. We'll cover you from here. This way, ma'am. As quick as you can. Yeah, it's Garrison. Need a hard car for the president at southwest two. Coming to you, Pete. Go. Go! Go, go! Southwest stairs. Let's go get 'em! We're gonna get you out of here. (HISSES) Ah! (SIRENS WAIL) Give me a perimeter, 10 metres, 360 degrees! President's hard car! Let's go! I got him. Mr President. (GROANS) The president is away! (GUNSHOTS) Go, go, go, go! (Oh, my God!) (GROANS) Secure the first lady! We need a hard car, now! Carl. Listen, Pete, erm... You take care of yourself. I'll save you a tee time. Tom, you did a great job. I was proud to work with you. Thanks. See you guys. Good careers. Take care. Do well, guys. See you soon. Hey, Pete. Yeah? This could be trouble. I'm gonna walk out of the White House carrying this? (ALL LAUGH) Thanks, guys. (APPLAUSE) Bye-bye. All the best. Hey, Pete! Gonna leave without saying goodbye? Well, look who's no longer a rookie. Thanks. How about a retirement dinner tonight? I can't. I got a date. Something you want to tell me? With my wife. That's great. Pete. See you around campus. Thanks for everything. Pleasure. Yeah, I'm gonna miss it. It's gonna miss you too. Take care. # What you've done is # Put yourself between a bullet and a target # And it won't be long before you're pulling yourself away # What you've done here # Is put yourself between a bullet and a target # And it won't be long before you're pulling yourself away # What you've done is # Put yourself between a bullet and a target # And it won't be long before you're pulling yourself away # A bullet and a target # A bullet and a target # A bullet and a target # A bullet and a target # A bullet, a bullet and a target # A bullet, a bullet and a target # A bullet, a bullet and a target
