[HELICOPTER]

[ARTILLERY EXPLOSIONS]

Man: STAND BY, SERGEANT.

THE TARGET SHOULD BE COMING INTO SIGHT.

TARGET'S IN SIGHT.

TAKE HIM OUT.

IT'S A KID, LIEUTENANT.

WE HAVE OUR ORDERS, SERGEANT.

CAN'T BE MORE THAN 10 YEARS OLD.

I DON'T CARE ABOUT HIS AGE.

TAKE HIM OUT!

I CAN'T.

GODDAMN IT, SERGEANT, WE HAVE OUR ORDERS HERE!

FIRE! NOW! NOW!

OBEY MY FUCKING ORDER!

[GUNSHOT]

Man: GO! GO! GO!

UH!

GET YOUR HANDS OFF ME! GET OFF!

YOU'RE OUT OF HERE!

YO, MAN, THESE CUFFS ARE A LITTLE TIGHT.

DO YOU THINK YOU CAN LOOSEN THEM UP A LITTLE BIT?

NO.

YEAH, WELL, MY BALLS ARE ITCHING REAL BAD.

HOW ABOUT YOU LEND ME A HAND?

CAREFUL, CONVICT. I GOT ORDERS TO SHOOT TO KILL.

ME OR YOURSELF?

PRISONER TRANSPORT, SOUTH GATE.

TRANSFER TO DEATH ROW.

Guard: HEY, CONVICT, IS IT TRUE YOU WON A NAVY CROSS?

YEAH.

SO WHAT DID A PIECE OF SHIT LIKE YOU DO SO BRAVE

TO DESERVE A MEDAL?

I FUCKED YOUR SISTER.

HA HA HA!

WHAT ARE YOU LAUGHING AT?

I SEEN YOUR SISTER.

HEY, FUCK YOU!

FUCK YOU, TOO!

MY NAME IS LIEUTENANT COLONEL GRANT CASEY.

I'M WITH COVERT OPS.

MR. DUNN, YOU WERE CONVICTED

OF KILLING A SUPERIOR OFFICER...

MARCH 13, 1991.

IT WAS SELF-DEFENSE.

SENTENCED TO DEATH.

WHAT DO YOU WANT WITH ME?

MR. DUNN, I'D LIKE YOU TO COME WORK FOR US.

I COMMAND A SMALL ELITE UNIT...

KNOWN AS BLACK SHEEP.

LIKE YOU, MANY OF MY MEN ARE EX-CONVICTS.

TAKE THE CAPTAIN HERE.

WHEN I FOUND HIM,

HE WAS AWAITING SENTENCING IN AN IRAQI PRISON

FOR RAPING A 15-YEAR-OLD GIRL.

WHAT'S THE MATTER? THEY DON'T HAVE SHEEP IN THE MIDDLE EAST?

BEFORE YOU GO GETTING ON HIS BAD SIDE,

YOU SHOULD KNOW

THE CAPTAIN'S ONE OF THE BEST ASSAULT TROOPS I EVER HAD.

NO PROBLEM, SIR.

NOW, MR. DUNN, YOU LISTEN HERE.

NO. YOULISTEN HERE.

I'M NOT INTERESTED IN JOINING ANYBODY'S GOON SQUAD,

SO YOU AND GEORGE FOREHEAD OVER HERE CAN JUST STEP OFF.

LET'S CUT THE BULLSHIT.

YOU'RE BEING TRANSFERRED TO DEATH ROW TODAY.

IN 30 DAYS, YOU WILL BE EXECUTED.

NOW, IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE THAT WAY.

A MAN OF YOUR MILITARY BACKGROUND AND EXPERIENCE

AND THE FACT THAT YOU HAVE NO CURRENT AFFILIATION

WITH ANY BRANCH OF THE GOVERNMENT

MAKES YOU AN IDEAL CANDIDATE.

I CAN APPRECIATE YOUR CONCERN

FOR THE KIND OF WORK WE DO,

BUT AS YOU KNOW,

TERRORISM AGAINST THE CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES

IS AT AN ALL-TIME HIGH.

WE'VE BEEN CALLED UPON BY OUR GOVERNMENT

TO SEND A MESSAGE,

AND I CAN GUARANTEE YOU THAT ALL OF OUR TARGETS

ARE THREATS TO OUR NATIONAL SECURITY.

SO, MR. DUNN, THE CHOICE IS UP TO YOU.

YOU LIKE SOME TIME TO THINK ABOUT THIS?

YEAH.

TIME'S UP. YOU IN OR OUT?

I'M IN.

SERGEANT DUNN, GOOD TO SEE YOU.

I'M SERGEANT PEYTON. GLAD YOU COULD JOIN US.

DETAIL, ATTENTION!

WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN A GREEN LIGHT, PEOPLE.

WE ARE A GO MISSION.

AT EASE. TAKE YOUR SEATS.

Casey: GENTLEMEN...

WHAT'S UNDERNEATH... IS A HIDEOUS SCAR.

I SELDOM REMOVE THE COVER FOR IT PAINS ME

TO SEE AND REMEMBER THAT ANYTHING COULD HAVE PIERCED THIS PERFECT BODY.

YOU GENTLEMEN UNDERSTAND ME WELL.

WE, EACH OF US, HAVE OUR UNSIGHTLY WOUNDS...

BUT TOGETHER, FEAR NOT...

WE SHALL PROVE INVINCIBLE.

NOW, GENTLEMEN, THESE EXTRACTION PACKETS THAT ARE BEING HANDED OUT

ARE TO BE USED ONLY IN DIRE EMERGENCY WHEN ALL ELSE HAS FAILED.

OPEN YOUR POWERBOOKS.

OUR MISSION HAS BEEN DESIGNATED

"OPERATION WRATH."

OUR TARGET IS DONALD BICKHART,

OCCUPATION: INDUSTRIALIST.

MR. BICKHART HAS BEEN SELLING BIOTECHNOLOGY ON THE BLACK MARKET

IN VIOLATION OF UNITED NATIONS REFERENDUM 071256.

HE IS TARGETED FOR TERMINATION.

10:45 A.M...

MR. BICKHART WILL BE ESCORTED BY THE FIRST LADY

TO A DEDICATION CEREMONY OF THE BICKHART WING...

OF THE LOS ANGELES VETERANS HOSPITAL.

WHEN THE MOTORCADE ARRIVES, THE FIRST LADY WILL EXIT FIRST,

FOLLOWED BY BICKHART.

TRAVEL TIME FROM L.A.X. TO VETERANS HOSPITAL THAT PRECISE HOUR...

WILL BE APPROXIMATELY 25 MINUTES.

ALPHA TEAM...

YOU WILL TAKE POSITIONS ON ROOFTOP OF BUILDING "A."

ALPHA TEAM IS IN POSITION.

OMEGA, YOU WILL TAKE POSITIONS ON THE ROOFTOP OF BUILDING "B."

OUR OPERATIVES IN THE SECRET SERVICE

WILL PROVIDE YOU THE NECESSARY ACCESS.

WE WILL RETRIEVE YOU.

MR. DUNN...

YOU WILL HAVE THE KILL SHOT.

HERE'S YOUR AMMO.

THIS IS BALLISTIC H20.

IT'S AN ICE PROJECTILE

WITH A VELOCITY OF 3,000 FEET PER SECOND

AND AN ACCURACY OF UP TO 500 YARDS.

NO EXIT WOUND--

THE BULLET'S GOING TO MELT INSIDE THE TARGET.

ICE PROJECTILES...

WHAT'LL THESE PEOPLE THINK OF NEXT?

FRUITY FLAVORS?

Dunn: OMEGA IN POSITION.

Man: GOOD AFTERNOON. IT'S ANOTHER GORGEOUS SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA DAY HERE

FOR THE OFFICIAL DEDICATION OF THE BICKHART WING,

A NEWLY CONSTRUCTED $100 MILLION FACILITY

FUNDED BY PHARMACEUTICAL GIANT DONALD BICKHART OF BICKHART INDUSTRIES.

THIS FACILITY WILL SERVE AS PERMANENT RESIDENCE

FOR SOME 1,000 DISABLED WAR VETERANS.

THIS HAS BEEN A PET PROJECT OF THE FIRST LADY,

WHO IS CURRENTLY THE NATION'S MOST OUTSPOKEN ADVOCATE FOR VETERANS' RIGHTS.

AND HERE SHE IS. THE MOTORCADE IS JUST ARRIVING.

[CROWD CHEERING]

Dunn: SHOWTIME.

Captain: OMEGA, WAIT TILL TARGET IS IN THE CLEAR.

Dunn: THIS IS OMEGA. THE TARGET IS LOCKED.

[GUNSHOT]

[PEOPLE SCREAMING]

NO. NO. NO!

SHIT!

ALPHA, THIS IS OMEGA. THERE'S BEEN A MISTAKE!

SOMEBODY MISSED THE MARK. THE FIRST LADY'S BEEN HIT.

I REPEAT, THE FIRST LADY'S BEEN HIT.

OMEGA, THIS IS CASEY.

GO TO YOUR EXTRACTION POINT. EXIT THE BUILDING NOW!

I'LL HAVE TO TAKE THAT.

OH, I'M SORRY, SIR. IS THERE ANY WAY I CAN GET IT BACK?

DON'T WORRY. IT'LL BE RETURNED, DR. CONSTANTINI.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

Man: SIR?

YEAH?

THE FIRST LADY HAS JUST BEEN SHOT.

IS SHE ALIVE?

NO.

THE N.S.C. HAS BEEN CALLED FOR 1:30.

THEY WANT US IN THE SITUATIONS ROOM NOW.

FIRST LADY...

WOW.

[TELEPHONE RINGING]

[RINGING GETTING LOUDER]

[TELEPHONE CONTINUES RINGING]

HELLO.

Captain: ARE YOU DAMAGED?

WHO IS THIS?

ARE YOU HURT?

NO. I WANT TO TALK TO CASEY.

HAVE YOU SPOKEN TO ANYONE?

NO. LOOK, I WANT TO TALK TO CASEY NOW.

RELAX, SERGEANT. WE'RE GOING TO BRING YOU HOME.

THERE'LL BE A CAR OUTSIDE YOUR HOTEL IN EXACTLY 60 SECONDS.

THEY WILL BLOW THE HORN TWICE.

YOU WILL COME DOWNSTAIRS.

[HANGS UP]

[HORN HONKS TWICE]

[GUNSHOT]

FUCK!

WE HAVE RELIABLE INFORMATION

THAT OUR SUSPECT'S ON THE SEVENTH FLOOR IN ROOM 712.

TAYLOR, YOU WILL LEAD BLUE TEAM.

JOHNSON, YOU WILL LEAD RED TEAM.

I WANT BLUE TEAM TO MAKE ITS WAY UP TO THE SEVENTH FLOOR,

SET UP ON THE DOOR, AND MAKE ENTRY.

RED TEAM WILL BACK UP BLUE TEAM AND SECURE THE REST OF THE FLOOR.

LET THE SUSPECT'S ACTIONS DICTATE YOURS,

BUT REMEMBER, HE'S KILLED ONCE TODAY ALREADY.

GO! GO! GO! GO!

AAH!

SON OF A BITCH. HE'S BELOW US!

10 DAVID.

OUR BOY'S GONE THROUGH A PAIR OF DOUBLE DOORS ON THE SECOND FLOOR.

THAT'S 10 DAVID, ROGER.

THIS DUMB SHIT JUST SEALED HIMSELF IN.

HE'S IN THE CAFETERIA.

ACCORDING TO THE BLUEPRINTS, THERE'S ONLY ONE WAY IN AND ONE WAY OUT.

HE'S ALL YOURS, GENTLEMEN.

ROGER THAT.

SMOKE!

[COUGHING]

AAH!

SWAT team leader: ZIEGLER! TEAM TWO, MOVE IT!

FIRE! FIRE! FIRE! FIRE!

TEAM 3, COME IN!

GODDAMN IT! WE GOT A MAN DOWN IN THERE.

WE NEED BACKUP!

WE COPY. BACKUP IS ON THE WAY!

HOLD YOUR POSITION

AND WAIT FOR BACKUP!

Casey: OMEGA 3, ARE YOU IN POSITION?

YES, SIR.

IF THEY BRING HIM OUT ALIVE, TAKE HIM.

AFFIRMATIVE.

FLASH BANG IT THIS TIME BEFORE ENTRY, GENTLEMEN.

SMOKE!

[GROANING]

HEY, WE'VE GOT A LIVE ONE HERE.

BASE, DO YOU COPY? WE'RE SENDING ONE DOWN.

COPY THAT. ALL RIGHT, LET'S GET A PARAMEDIC!

COME ON, LET'S MOVE IT! LET'S HAUL HIM OUT!

COME ON, GET HIM OUT. LET'S GO!

LET'S EVICT THIS SON OF A BITCH OUT!

COME ON! COME ON! CLEAR IT! CLEAR IT! CLEAR!

AH, CHRIST!

EXCUSE ME, SIR.

WHAT? CAN YOU REPEAT THAT?

SWAT leader: HE'S GONE! HE'S WEARING McCARTHY'S UNIFORM!

Casey: DUNN IS ON THE STREET. HE'S WEARING A SWAT UNIFORM.

I GOT HIM.

I LOST HIM!

Casey: EXIT THAT POSITION.

HERE'S THE LATEST POLICE COMPOSITE SKETCH.

RUN IT.

CHARLIE'S ALREADY ON IT.

Woman: I GOT ONE.

HEY.

JAMES ANTHONY DUNN,

FORMER MARINE GUNNERY SERGEANT, PERSIAN GULF.

IS HE OURS?

A FOOT SOLDIER.

CONVICTED OF KILLING HIS COMMANDING OFFICER DURING DESERT STORM.

COURT-MARTIALED, SENTENCED TO DEATH.

ESCAPED 5 DAYS AGO WHILE BEING TRANSFERRED TO LEAVENWORTH.

WHAT TIME DID THE INCIDENT HAPPEN?

UH, 10:32.

AND WHEN WAS THIS SKETCH RELEASED?

10:48.

SOMEBODY OUT THERE IS DRAWING PRETTY FAST.

Newscaster: THE LOS ANGELES POLICE DEPARTMENT HAS JUST RELEASED

THIS COMPOSITE SKETCH OF THE SUSPECTED ASSASSIN. SOURCES...

AT VETERANS HOSPITAL, THE ATMOSPHERE... UTTER DISBELIEF.

IT APPEARS NO ONE EXCEPT THE FIRST LADY HAS BEEN WOUNDED.

WITH ME HERE IS VICTORIA CONSTANTINI,

A DOCTOR HERE AT VETERANS HOSPITAL

AND AN EYEWITNESS TO THE SHOOTING.

CAN YOU TELL US WHAT YOU SAW, DR. CONSTANTINI?

I WAS VIDEOTAPING THE FIRST LADY'S ARRIVAL

WHEN I HEARD A SHOT COME FROM BEHIND ME,

SO I TURNED AROUND, AND I THOUGHT I SAW A MAN ON THAT ROOF,

BUT EVERYONE WAS STARING AT THE OTHER ROOF.

AND I DON'T KNOW, IN ALL THE CONFUSION,

I MIGHT HAVE MADE A MISTAKE,

BUT I'M PRETTY SURE THAT I SAW A MAN ON THAT ROOF.

WE COULD BE TALKING ABOUT MULTIPLE SHOOTERS.

CHIEF!

A BARTENDER SWEARS OUR JOHN DOE IS IN HIS PLACE AT SIXTH AND MAIN.

SIXTH AND MAIN, PEOPLE, LET'S MOVE!

[POLICE YELLING]

I THINK WE HAVE A PROBLEM, SERGEANT.

MAYBE THAT'S ALL SHE GOT.

NO. THERE.

THERE...

SHE CHANGED THE TAPES BEFORE YOU GOT TO HER.

SON OF A BITCH.

FUCK!

Police chief: I HAVE A BRIEF STATEMENT TO MAKE

WHICH WILL HOPEFULLY ANSWER ALL OF YOUR QUESTIONS.

WE ARE ASKING ALL SHOPKEEPERS

OF ESTABLISHMENTS IN THE IMMEDIATE VICINITY OF THE SHOOTING

TO EXAMINE THEIR SURVEILLANCE CAMERAS

FOR POSSIBLE SIGHTINGS OF THE SUSPECT PRIOR TO THE SHOOTING.

WE ARE ALSO ASKING ALL PRIVATE CITIZENS WHO MAY HAVE TAPED THE EVENT

TO ALLOW US TO EXAMINE THOSE TAPES.

SIMPLY CALL YOUR F.B.I. MAIN NUMBER,

[TURNS OFF TV]

LET ME GUESS-- FOR MURDER?

WHAT, DO YOU THINK THIS IS FUNNY?

NO.

YOU THINK THIS IS A JOKE?

NO! I'M JUST SCARED, OK?

I'M JUST SCARED.

LET'S JUST GET YOU SOME WATER OR SOMETHING, ALL RIGHT?

COME ON.

DAMN, THAT LOOKS GOOD.

YOU KNOW, I HAVEN'T HAD A PIECE IN 5 YEARS.

GOT TO HAVE A TASTE.

MMM.

GOD, THIS IS GOOD.

YOU'D BE SURPRISED WHAT YOU MISS WHEN YOU'RE LOCKED UP.

[SNIFFING]

WHAT'S THAT SMELL?

IT'S AMMONIUM NITRATE.

WHERE IS YOUR DOG?

I DON'T HAVE A DOG.

COME ON. WE GOT TO GET OUT OF HERE.

COME ON, GODDAMN IT. MOVE IT!

GOD!

OH, MY GOD.

Woodward: SCRUGGS.

SIR?

I WANT YOU TO ISSUE A MEMO TO ALL NEWS STATIONS

REMINDING THEM THERE'S A GAG ORDER ON THE MEDIA,

AND IF THAT TAPE SHOWS, I WISH TO BE FIRST TO SEE IT.

YES, SIR.

WHY ARE THEY TRYING TO KILL ME?

THEY'RE JUST TYING UP LOOSE ENDS.

THEY MUST HAVE SEEN YOU ON TV.

WHY ARE YOU STOPPING?

THERE'S A ROADBLOCK UP AHEAD.

TURN AROUND.

I CAN'T.

SHIT.

ALL RIGHT. YOU NEVER SAW ME.

I NEVER SAW YOU.

[CAR HORNS HONKING]

GOOD EVENING, MA'AM. WE'RE LOOKING FOR THIS MAN.

HAVE YOU SEEN HIM?

NO...

YES. HE WAS JUST IN MY CAR. HE TRIED TO KIDNAP ME.

HE JUST GOT OUT OVER THERE.

DUNN WAS JUST IN THIS LADY'S CAR!

[POLICE WHISTLES BLOWING]

SERGEANT, RUN THOSE PLATES.

NEVER SAW ME, HUH? DRIVE.

PATROL 1 AND 2, COME IN.

THIS IS PATROL 1. OVER.

PATROL 2. GO AHEAD, COMMAND.

SUSPECT HAS BEEN SPOTTED AT CHECKPOINT 1.

SUSPECT VEHICLE IS A CHAMPAGNE-COLORED VOLVO,

CALIFORNIA LICENSE PLATE 2-SIERRA-ALPHA-MIKE-5-6-4.

Dunn: ALL RIGHT. SLOW DOWN.

TURN OFF YOUR LIGHTS.

STOP.

[SIRENS]

OK.

JUST GO STRAIGHT. FOLLOW THE RIVERBED.

SIR, THE CAR BELONGS TO A VICTORIA CONSTANTINI.

THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE. SHE'S SUPPOSED TO BE DEAD.

SUPPOSED TO BE DEAD?

YES, SIR.

YOUR ORDERS ARE GET THAT VIDEOTAPE.

I COULDN'T FIND THE TAPE, SIR, SO I THOUGHT THAT I--

OH, YOU THOUGHT?

YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO THINK, SERGEANT PEYTON.

YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO FOLLOW ORDERS, AND BECAUSE YOU DID NOT,

AN INNOCENT CIVILIAN MAY BE DEAD.

WE'RE NOT KILLERS, MR. PEYTON.

WE ARE SOLDIERS. YOU UNDERSTAND?

YES, SIR.

THE ONLY TIME YOU WILL KILL

IS IF GIVEN AN ORDER TO KILL.

IS THAT UNDERSTOOD?

YES, SIR.

SIR? GENERAL, SIR.

CAPTAIN BRADDOCK, HOW'S THE FISHING IN L.A. RIVER THIS TIME OF YEAR?

Braddock: I UNDERSTAND, GENERAL.

MARINES TRAIN THEIR TROOPS WELL, CAPTAIN.

CHOPPER 1, DRAG THE RIVERBED.

Constantini: ASSHOLE.

SHIT.

[RINGING]

911. MAY I HELP YOU?

HELLO. THERE'S A--

WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?

GIVE ME THAT!

[HANGS UP TELEPHONE]

JUST DON'T KILL ME.

HAVE I HURT YOU?

NO, BUT YOU BRING ME OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE IN THE MIDDLE--

I SAVED YOUR LIFE, GODDAMN IT!

NOW I'M SICK OF THIS SHIT.

GET OUT. COME ON. GET OUT.

GET OUT!

YOU WANT TO DO THIS BY YOURSELF? GO.

GO!

I'M SURE THEY'LL USE A SMALLER BOMB NEXT TIME.

[DOOR OPENS]

THOUGHT SO.

Peyton: GENERAL, SIR, THEY SEARCHED THE RIVERBED,

AND THEY FOUND SOME TIRE MARKS.

THEY DID NOT RECOVER A VEHICLE, SIR.

I'LL SET UP A PERIMETER,

START A DOOR-TO-DOOR SEARCH, SIR.

WAKE UP ALL THOSE NICE PEOPLE?

I HAVE A BETTER WAY TO FLUSH HIM OUT.

YOU CAN CALL OUR FRIEND,

TELL HIM I'M ABOUT TO COME OVER.

Constantini: WHAT IS THIS PLACE?

IT'S AN OLD MARINE BASE. DID MY SNIPER TRAINING HERE.

IT WAS CLOSED DOWN AFTER THE BUDGET CUTS.

LET ME HAVE THAT.

STAND OVER THERE.

THIS PLACE IS FILTHY.

ARE THERE ANY RATS IN HERE?

I SURE HOPE SO.

WE MIGHT GET HUNGRY.

WHERE'S YOUR TELEPHONE?

IT'S IN MY BAG.

I'LL GET IT.

WOULDN'T WANT YOU TO HAVE ANOTHER CHARLIE'S ANGELS FLASHBACK.

IT WAS A GIFT FROM MY MOTHER.

SHE THINKS EVERY PSYCHO IN L.A. IS COMING AFTER ME.

WHO KNEW?

LET ME KNOW WHEN 30 SECONDS PASS.

[RINGING]

YOUR PRIVATE LINE.

YEAH.

RACKMILL.

THIS IS OMEGA.

THIS IS DEPUTY DIRECTOR RACKMILL OF THE C.I.A.,

AND I'M NOT LAUGHING, FUNNYMAN.

WHO IS THIS?

C.I.A.?

20 SECONDS.

WHERE DID YOU GET THIS NUMBER?

LOOK...

THEY SAID IT WAS A GOVERNMENT- SANCTIONED HIT.

JAMES DUNN.

YOU'RE IN DEEP TROUBLE, MR. DUNN.

Dunn: THE FIRST LADY WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE THE TARGET.

10 SECONDS.I'M GONE.

WAIT A MINUTE. WAIT A MINUTE.

YOU SAY YOU DIDN'T KILL THE FIRST LADY. WE DIDN'T KILL HER, EITHER.

HOW'D YOU GET MY PRIVATE NUMBER AND MY ACCESS CODE?

MY C.O. CASEY. UNIT WAS BLACK SHEEP.

5 SECONDS.

Rackmill: TELL ME, WHERE ARE YOU? I'D LIKE TO HELP YOU,

BUT I CAN'T HELP YOU IF I CAN'T FIND YOU.

TIME.

I'LL FIND YOU.

[DIAL TONE]

DID YOU GET IT?

HE HUNG UP JUST UNDER THE WIRE.

SO, WHAT DID YOU FIND OUT?

I'M NOT SURE.

Rackmill: CHARLIE, RUN JAMES DUNN THROUGH INTEL.

WHAT BRANCH?

C.I.A.

WHAT?

DO IT.

WHAT ABOUT THAT BLACK SHEEP BULLSHIT?

WHAT IS THIS, KUNG PAO CHICKEN?

YEP. WANT SOME?

A LITTLE LATER.

IT'S NOT EXACTLY BULLSHIT.

BLACK SHEEP WAS A COVERT STRIKE TEAM

THAT WE USED TO RUN IN THE SEVENTIES UNTIL CONGRESS SHUT US DOWN IN '81.

Charlie: WHOA!

WHAT?

BLACK SHEEP'S BEEN REACTIVATED.

OR SOMEONE WANTS TO MAKE IT LOOK THAT WAY.

WHO'S RUNNING IT?

LIEUTENANT COLONEL GRANT CASEY, COVERT OPS.

DIED IN VIETNAM 30 YEARS AGO.

WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?

HAVEN'T YOU EVER BEEN FRAMED BEFORE?

FRAMED?

DO THE MATH, SON.

A FORMER MARINE SNIPER ASSASSINATES

THE FIRST LADY OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

15 MINUTES LATER, THEY'VE I.D.'d THE SHOOTER.

15 MINUTES AFTER THAT, THEY'VE GOT HIM TRAPPED IN A BUILDING.

24 HOURS LATER, HE CALLS US HERE--

BACK DOOR, NO LESS--

CLAIMING TO BE A MEMBER OF ONE OF OUR UNITS THAT DOESN'T EXIST ANYMORE,

WONDERING WHY HE'S NOT A HERO.

THIS GUY'S BEEN SET UP...

AND SO HAVE WE.

WHO DO YOU THINK IT IS?

SOMEBODY VERY SMART.

OH, THAT'S ENOUGH FOR TODAY.

CHOP-CHOP.

GOOD NIGHT, NIKI.

YOU WANT TO SEE ME?

DON'T EVEN OFFER A MAN A DRINK?

WHERE'S YOUR SENSE OF HOSPITALITY, MR. BICKHART?

WHAT'S YOUR PLEASURE?

JOHNNIE WALKER, IF YOU HAVE IT.

GET HER THE HELL OUT OF HERE!

OUT OF THE POOL NOW!

THIS WASN'T THE PLAN, GENERAL.

NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT.

THE MANHUNT'S BEEN HANDED OVER TO ME.

I WILL APPREHEND HIM WITHIN 48 HOURS.

I'M JUST WORRIED THAT, UH,

SOMEBODY ELSE IS GOING TO GET TO HIM FIRST--

THE F.B.I., THE POLICE.

WHAT IF HE TALKS?

LET HIM TALK.

EVERYTHING HE THINKS HE KNOWS

LEADS HIM TO SOMEONE ELSE.

AND THE PRESS?

WE CAN'T AFFORD TO HAVE THEM POKING AROUND.

THAT'S HOW WE GOT HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE.

WHAT GOT US HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE

IS THE FACT THAT YOU HELPED PUT A MAN INTO OFFICE

WHOSE WIFE WAS A BLEEDING-HEART LIBERAL.

NOT ONLY THAT, SON OF A BITCH IS SO WEAK,

CAN'T EVEN KEEP HER FROM WEARING THE PANTS IN THE WHITE HOUSE.

IT DOESN'T BOTHER YOU AT ALL, DOES IT?

WE KILLED THAT WOMAN.

I AGREE. THERE ARE SOME CONCERNS.

THERE'S A LOT OF JOHNNY DO-GOODERS

MIGHT WANT TO HELP DUNN

IF HE CAN CONVINCE THEM OF HIS INNOCENCE.

BUT I HAVE A WAY OF TAKING CARE OF THAT.

IT'S GOING TO REQUIRE

A BIT MORE ACTIVE PARTICIPATION ON YOUR PART.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

WE NEED TO KEEP THE PUBLIC FOCUSED.

ON WHAT?

MONEY.

A LITTLE BIT MORE OF YOUR MONEY.

BONNIE ANN HARTFIELD WAS A FRIEND AND A GREAT HUMANITARIAN.

WE SHARED MANY CHARITABLE CAUSES,

NONE MORE WORTHY THAN THE CARING FOR THE VETERANS OF THIS COUNTRY.

I WAS WITH THE FIRST LADY AT THE TIME OF THE SHOOTING,

AND SO I FEEL A PERSONAL OBLIGATION TO DO EVERYTHING I CAN

TO BRING HER KILLER TO JUSTICE.

I AM OFFERING A $10 MILLION REWARD TO ANY CITIZEN

WHO CAPTURES OR PROVIDES INFORMATION

LEADING TO THE CAPTURE OF JAMES DUNN.

[DIALING TELEPHONE]

[RINGING]

BARNES HERE.

THERE'S ANOTHER SHOOTER, AND I GOT IT ON TAPE.

WHO IS THIS?

L.A. RESERVOIR, 20 MINUTES.

NO COPS, NO CAMERAS.

ROGER?

WHY IN THE HELL AREN'T YOU ON YOUR WAY DOWNTOWN?

YOU GOT TO GET SOMEONE ELSE TO COVER FOR ME.

I JUST GOT A CALL FROM A GUY CLAIMS THERE'S ANOTHER SHOOTER.

HE'S GOT IT ON TAPE.

GO.

Spencer: THEY YANKED OUR CLEARANCES, SEALED OUR FILES,

TOOK AWAY OUR ACCESS CODES.

SOMEONE IS REALLY TRYING TO STICK IT TO US.

THERE ARE RUMORS FLYING ALL OVER WASHINGTON.

YEAH, I KNOW.

YOU SEEM AWFULLY CALM ABOUT IT.

I'M PAID TO BE CALM.

AND BESIDES, IT CAN BE FUN.

YOU CAN GO YEARS WITHOUT A GOOD CHESS GAME.

I CAN'T LOOK AT ANOTHER SATELLITE PHOTO.

LOOK, I HAVE THE SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM.

REALLY?

WE ELIMINATE DUNN OURSELVES.

NO.

THAT'S OUR FINAL OPTION. BESIDES, WE NEED HIM TO HELP FLUSH OUT THE MOLE.

WHAT, YOU THINK IT'S SOMEONE ON THE INSIDE?

OH, I KNOW IT IS.

THE ONLY PERSON WHO COULD KNOW OUR SECRETS THAT WELL IS A MOLE.

DON'T TURN AROUND. JUST START WALKING.

RELAX.

IF I WERE GOING TO KILL YOU,

YOU'D ALREADY BE DEAD.

I DIDN'T KILL THE FIRST LADY.

I WAS THERE, BUT I DIDN'T PULL THAT TRIGGER.

YOU WERE RIGHT. THERE WAS ANOTHER SHOOTER.

WHY WAS SHE ASSASSINATED?

MURDERED.

THE FIRST LADY'S POLITICS MEANS NOTHING.

HER AGENDA IS SOCIAL.

SHE HAS NO MILITARY POWERS,

NOR DOES SHE SHAPE FOREIGN POLICY.

I GOT TO BELIEVE WHATEVER REASON SHE WAS KILLED, IT WAS PERSONAL.

TO WHO?

I DON'T KNOW,

BUT IF I DON'T FIND OUT,

IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE I WIND UP

LIKE EVERY OTHER LONE ASSASSIN.

LOOK, YOU COVERED THE FIRST LADY.

DID SHE HAVE ANY ENEMIES?

SHE WASN'T EXACTLY THE MOST POPULAR FIRST LADY, BUT NOTHING EXTREME.

CAN YOU THINK OF ANYTHING IN HER PAST,

SOMETHING THAT COULD HAVE COME BACK TO HAUNT HER?

SHE LED A PRETTY STRAIGHT LIFE.

UP UNTIL THE WHITE HOUSE, SHE WAS AN ATTORNEY FOR THE A.C.L.U.

BUT WHAT ABOUT PROJECTS?

WAS SHE WORKING ON ANYTHING?

VETERANS' RIGHTS. THAT WAS HER MAIN FOCUS.

HER BIGGEST FLAW WAS HER PASSION. I DON'T KNOW, MAN.

I CAN'T THINK OF ANYTHING RIGHT NOW.

HERE'S THE TAPE, MR. BARNES.

GET IT ON THE AIR, AND MAYBE PEOPLE WILL START ASKING QUESTIONS.

YOU GOT IT.

HEY, IT'S DUNN!

IT'S JAMES DUNN!

HEY, MAN, YOU'RE COOKED FOR $10 MILLION.

IT'S HIM!

OH!

SORRY.

[HORNS HONKING]

IT'S HIM! IT'S THE GUY WHO SHOT THE FIRST LADY!

GET HIM! GET HIM!

STOP HIM!

$10 MILLION MAN!

Woman: THEY'LL RUN FOR $10 MILLION.

STOP HIM!

[HORNS HONKING]

AAH!

LOOK OUT!

[TIRES SQUEALING]

[PEOPLE SHOUTING]

WHAT ARE YOU, SOMEBODY FAMOUS?

YEAH, YOU COULD SAY THAT.

PEOPLE TELL ME I LOOK A LOT LIKE DENZEL WASHINGTON.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

ROGER, I MET HIM.

I MET HIM FACE-TO-FACE.

Woodward: WHO IS IT YOU MET, SON?

ELVIS. WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?

WHO THE HELL AM I?

WHY, I'M GODDAMN GENERAL WOODWARD,

THAT'S WHO THE HELL I AM.

I'M HEADING THIS INVESTIGATION.

I UNDERSTAND YOU HAVE SOME EVIDENCE YOU WISH TO PRESENT TO ME.

IS THAT RIGHT?

WHAT'S THIS GUY'S STORY?

STEVE, GIVE HIM THE TAPE.

BULLSHIT.

STEVE, THIS IS A MATTER OF NATIONAL SECURITY.

THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO SEE EVERYTHING BEFORE WE VIEW IT.

NOW GIVE THEM THE TAPE.

SON.

WASN'T TOO HARD, WAS IT?

GENERAL WOODWARD.

Man: SIR, WE HAVE A SUSPECT IN CUSTODY.

GET MY CHOPPER READY.

WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THAT, STEVE?

WHAT?

SEEMS ELVIS LEFT THE BUILDING.

Braddock: MAKE A HOLE, GENTLEMEN.

ALL RIGHT. GET HIM UP SO THE GENERAL CAN SEE HIS FACE.

[DOOR SLIDING OPEN]

FREEZE!

WHOA! DON'T SHOOT. IT'S ME.

OH, MY GOD. WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?

I GOT STUCK IN TRAFFIC.

Scruggs: I'VE ADDED THE MUZZLE FLASH.

THEN I REVERSED THE ACTION

TO CREATE A KIND OF RECOIL, AND--

SCRUGGS, I DO NOT GIVE A SHIT ABOUT TECHNOLOGY.

ALL I CARE ABOUT IS IF YOU CAN DELIVER THIS WITHIN ONE HOUR COMPLETE.

CAN YOU DO THAT?

YES, SIR.

DO THAT.

YES, SIR.

OK, THIS MIGHT STING A LITTLE BIT.

SO WERE YOU REALLY IN JAIL BEFORE ALL THIS?

YEP.

FOR KILLING SOMEONE?

5 YEARS AGO...

I WAS A MARINE SPECIALIST STATIONED IN IRAQ.

I WAS A SNIPER.

I WAS GIVEN A TARGET PACKAGE.

I WAS TOLD IT WAS A COURIER.

WHEN THE COURIER SHOWED UP,

IT WAS A 10-YEAR-OLD BOY.

I REFUSED THE ORDER.

MY C.O. FREAKED OUT,

PULLED HIS SIDEARM, PUT IT TO MY HEAD.

ANYWAY, WE WRESTLED, GUN WENT OFF.

THAT'S HOW I WOUND UP IN JAIL.

SOUNDS LIKE SELF-DEFENSE TO ME.

WELL...

HERE WE GO.

Newscaster: IN THIS VIDEO, YOU SEE JAMES DUNN FIRING THAT FATAL SHOT

THAT WAS CAPTURED ON HOME VIDEO BY A SPECTATOR AT THE EVENT.

[TELEPHONE RINGING]

HELLO. BARNES.

Dunn: WHAT HAPPENED TO THE TAPE?

THE MILITARY-- THEY WERE WAITING FOR ME.

THEY TOOK IT. THEY ANALYZED IT. THEY SAID IT WAS A PHONY.

YOU GAVE IT TO THEM?

I'M SORRY.

THEY'RE GOING TO KILL US. THAT TAPE WAS OUR ONLY CHANCE.

LOOK, WE'LL JUST HAVE TO FIGURE IT OUT ON OUR OWN.

OH, GREAT. ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS SOLVE A POLITICAL ASSASSINATION.

JUST THINK.

NOW, THEY KILLED HER AT THE HOSPITAL FOR A REASON.

WAS THERE ANYTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY GOING ON THERE?

WELL, IT WASN'T REALLY OUT OF THE ORDINARY.

WHAT?

THE FIRST LADY WAS ONLY SUPPOSED TO STAY FOR ONE DAY,

AND THEN THEY ADDED ANOTHER ONE TO THE SCHEDULE

TO MEET WITH A BUNCH OF SOLDIERS.

I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A FEEL-GOOD THING AT FIRST,

BUT THEN THEY SAID THEY WANTED TO VIDEOTAPE.

VIDEOTAPE WHAT?

SOME OF THE GUYS FROM THE 82nd--

A BUNCH OF SOLDIERS WITH WEIRD NEUROLOGICAL DISORDERS:

TREMORS, NONSPECIFIC PARESTHESIA.

THEY ALL HAD THE SAME THING?

YEAH.

OK.

Dunn: KEEP YOUR EYE ON THAT SECURITY GUARD.

Constantini: WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING UP?

IT'S CALLED WESTLAW.

IT'S A LEGAL RESEARCH DATABASE.

EVERY PUBLISHED LAWSUIT IS ON-LINE.

WHAT GOOD'S THAT GOING TO DO?

THE FIRST LADY USED TO BE A LAWYER WITH THE ACLU.

NOW, THEY TAKE ON SOME PRETTY HEAVY PEOPLE--

CLASS ACTION, SHIT LIKE THAT.

QUESTION: WHAT DOES A LAWYER USE VIDEOTAPE FOR?

UH, DEPOSITIONS?

AND THE FIRST LADY'S PET PROJECT?

VETERANS' RIGHTS.

WHOA.

WHAT DOES IT SAY?

ACCORDING TO THIS, A SOLDIER NAMED FLEMMING

SUED THE ARMY FOR USING A VACCINE ON HIM-- AN EXPERIMENTAL VACCINE,

C.R.C.-13.

IT SAYS IT WAS GIVEN TO EVERY MAN IN HIS UNIT.

WHAT WAS HIS UNIT?

82nd AIRBORNE.

GET THE CAR. I'LL MEET YOU OUT BACK.

OK.

HEY! I KNOW WHO YOU ARE.

I SEEN YOU ON TV.

YOU'RE THAT GUY.

CAN I HAVE YOUR AUTOGRAPH?

I NEVER MISS YOUR SHOW, MAN. BIG FAN.

THANKS, MONTEL.

HI. I'D LIKE TO SEE THE RECORDS

ON PATIENT LEE FLEMMING.

I'M SORRY. WE DON'T HAVE ANY RECORDS ON FILE.

TRY THE NATIONAL DATABASE. HE WOULD HAVE BEEN WITH THE 82nd DIVISION.

THAT'S STRANGE.

NO MEDICAL RECORDS FOR THE 82nd ARE AVAILABLE.

THANKS. I WANT YOU TO DO ME A FAVOR.

RUN A PATENT SEARCH

ON A VACCINE--

C.R.C.-13.

CALL ME AT THIS NUMBER WHEN YOU GET SOMETHING, OK? THANKS.

DR. CONSTANTINI.

HERE'S THOSE QUESTIONNAIRES YOU WANTED.

GREAT. THANK YOU, RANDY.

YOU LET THE MOST WANTED MAN IN AMERICA

COME IN HERE AND USE A COMPUTER,

KNOWING FULL WELL HIS IDENTITY?

IS THAT RIGHT?!

I'M JUST A SECURITY GUARD, MAN.

MAN?

YOU'RE A DISGRACE!

A GODDAMN DISGRACE.

Braddock: HE'S PUTTING THINGS TOGETHER, SIR.

OF COURSE HE'S PUTTING THINGS TOGETHER.

HE'D BE AN IDIOT NOT TO...

ALL THE HELP HE'S PROVIDED WITH.

GET THIS MAN OUT OF MY SIGHT.

GET HIM OUT OF MY SIGHT!

TRAITOR.

TAKE HIM OUT AND SHOOT HIM... MAN.

THIS IS WHAT HE'S GOT, SIR.

WHAT'S THAT STILL DOING THERE?

WHAT IS IT DOING IN THERE?!

IT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO BE IN THERE.

IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE GONE!

GODDAMN INCOMPETENCE!

THIS IS INTERESTING.

FLEMMING NEVER WENT TO THE PERSIAN GULF.

WHAT?

HE WAS DISCHARGED BEFORE THE INVASION.

THEN THAT MEANS WHATEVER THESE SOLDIERS

WERE EXPOSED TO HAD TO BE STATESIDE.

C.R.C.-13.

RIGHT.

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

HELLO.

YEAH.

OK.

THANKS A LOT.

THAT WAS THE HOSPITAL.

I HAD A FRIEND RUN A PATENT SEARCH

ON C.R.C.-13.

THE PATENT WAS REGISTERED TO BICKHART PHARMACEUTICALS,

BIOWEAPONS DIVISION.

BICKHART, HUH?

YOU KNOW, IF YOU SPENT AS MUCH MONEY

ON YOUR SECURITY AS YOU DO YOUR CIGARS,

YOU'D LIVE A LOT LONGER.

THE FACT IS, YOUR DOGS ARE UNDERFED.

HALF-POUND OF STEAK, AND THEY'RE A MAN'S BEST FRIEND.

YOUR MEN WOULD TAKE LESS NAPS

IF YOU PUT THEM ON 8-HOUR SHIFTS INSTEAD OF 12.

THIS ALARM SYSTEM IS TOTALLY OUTDATED.

PIECE OF GUM AND A SCREWDRIVER IS ALL YOU NEED.

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

SEE, NOW, YOU NEED TO CHECK THAT ATTITUDE, MR. BICKHART.

DON'T LET THE FACT THAT I HAVEN'T PUT A BULLET IN YOUR ASS

GIVE YOU A FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY.

THE ONLY REASON YOU STILL BREATHE GOD'S AIR

IS BECAUSE YOU HAVE SOME INFORMATION I NEED.

WHAT IS COLONEL CASEY'S REAL NAME?

I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

NO?

THEN DIE.

WAIT. WAIT. OK.

NAME!

OK.

WHAT IS HIS NAME?!

WOODWARD...

GENERAL ADAM WOODWARD.

LOOK, I KNOW WHO KILLED HER.

I'M LISTENING.

IT WAS GENERAL ADAM WOODWARD.

HE'S WORKING WITH DONALD BICKHART.

Rackmill: WOODWARD? THE SAME ONE HEADING THE INVESTIGATION?

WOODWARD ALLOWED BICKHART TO TRY AN EXPERIMENTAL VACCINE ON HIS TROOPS.

IT WAS SUPPOSED TO PROTECT THEM FROM VIRAL WARFARE,

ONLY THE VACCINE WAS CONTAMINATED. THE TROOPS STARTED DYING.

THE FIRST LADY WAS GOING TO EXPOSE THE WHOLE THING.

DO YOU HAVE THE PROOF?

LOOK, MAN, YOU SAID YOU'D HELP ME.

YOU GOING TO BRING ME IN OR WHAT?

YOU WANT MY HELP? GET THE FILES.

THEN AND ONLY THEN WILL I BRING YOU IN.

ACCUSATION WITHOUT CONFIRMATION IS MEANINGLESS.

ANYTHING THAT DAMAGING, WOODWARD IS GOING TO KEEP CLOSE,

SO I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU'RE GOING TO DO IT,

BUT YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO GET NEXT TO HIM.

IS THAT CLEAR, MR. DUNN? MR. DUNN?

[DUNN HANGS UP TELEPHONE]

SO ARE THEY GOING TO HELP US?

NO.

WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?

WE'RE GOING TO SPLIT UP.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

LOOK, I APPRECIATE ALL YOUR HELP,

BUT I GOT TO DO IT FROM HERE.

NOW, TAKE THIS.

I WANT YOU TO GO BACK TO THE BUNKER,

TURN ON THE TV, AND WAIT FOR MY SIGNAL.

WHAT SIGNAL?

YOU'LL KNOW. WHEN YOU SEE IT, I WANT YOU TO CALL THAT NUMBER.

SOMEBODY WILL COME PICK YOU UP.

JAMES, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?

WHAT THEY TRAINED ME TO DO.

PULL OVER.

LOOK, JAMES...

I HOPE I SEE YOU AGAIN.

COUNT ON IT.

[ALARM SOUNDING]

[ALARM STOPS]

[SIREN APPROACHING]

YOU KNOW WHAT?

I DON'T THINK HE DID IT, MAN.

WHAT YOU MEAN? THEY GOT FILM ON THE BOY.

WHAT YOU TALKING ABOUT, MAN? FILM DON'T MEAN SHIT.

THAT'S RIGHT. A NIGGER CAN'T GET FROM CRENSHAW TO LA BREA

WITHOUT POLICE STOPPING HIM AT LEAST TWICE.

AND YOU'RE TELLING ME HE SHOT THE PRESIDENT'S WIFE?

HELL. TELL ME HE SHOT THE MAYOR OF COMPTON'S WIFE,

AND I'LL BELIEVE YOU.

[LAUGHTER]

WAY IT IS, YEAH.

ALL RIGHT, DON'T START NOTHIN'.

AIN'T GONNA BE NO PROBLEM.

Man: SERGEANT FURY WAS UPSET, WASN'T HE?

[ELEVATOR BELL DINGS]

KEEP GOING.

SINGLE FILE.

Man: TASK FORCE.

YEAH. THIS IS SERGEANT FURY DOWN IN LOCKUP.

WE GOT A GUY DOWN HERE I THINK IS A DEFINITE MATCH.

HE'S DEMANDING TO SPEAK TO A LAWYER.

YOU MIGHT WANT TO TELL THE GENERAL TO COME TAKE A LOOK.

WE'LL TELL HIM.

RIGHT.

GENERAL, SIR...

HEY, OFFICER!

HEY, I'M TALKING TO YOU!

[ELEVATOR BELL DINGS]

Woodward: SHOOT HIM! SHOOT HIM! SHOOT HIM!

SHIT! JAM THAT THING!

THEY'RE GOING UP, SIR.

CALL DOWNSTAIRS. SHUT OFF THE POWER IN THOSE ELEVATORS.

THIS ENTIRE BUILDING WILL BE SEALED OFF IN ONE MINUTE.

YOU JUST DUG YOUR GRAVE, SON.

YOU DUG YOUR GRAVE.

YEAH, WELL, I WAS A DEAD MAN WHEN YOU MET ME.

TELL ME SOMETHING, GENERAL.

HOW DOES A MAN WHO WEARS THE UNIFORM OF THE UNITED STATES ARMY

DO WHAT YOU DID TO THOSE MEN? HUH?

THE PRICE OF FREEDOM IS HIGH, BOY.

WHAT HAPPENED TO THOSE SOLDIERS WAS A NECESSARY EVIL--

FRIENDLY FIRE.

HEAR THEM COMING, SON? HEAR THEM COMING FOR YOU?

THEY'RE COMING FOR YOU.

YOU SICK SON OF A BITCH.

I SHOULD BUST A CAP IN YOUR CHITLIN-EATIN' ASS RIGHT NOW.

YOU'RE LUCKY I DIDN'T COME HERE FOR THAT.

I'M GOING TO BURY YOU, GENERAL.

YOU'VE GOT NOTHING. YOU'VE GOT NOTHING!

[SPITS]

YOU CAN'T ACCESS THAT POWERBOOK WITHOUT THE PROPER KEY.

YOU THINK I'M AN IMBECILE?

WHERE'S THE KEY, GENERAL?

IN THE SAFEST PLACE IN THIS MAN'S UNIVERSE,

AND YOU AIN'T NEVER GONNA FIND IT, JAR-HEAD.

GIVE ME THE FUCKIN' KEY, OR I'LL BLOW YOUR GODDAMN BRAINS ALL OVER THIS ELEVATOR!

GO AHEAD, KILL ME. YOU GOT THE GUTS?

KILL ME! PULL THE TRIGGER!

THE KEY DIES WITH ME, SON!

YOU'RE TRYING MY PATIENCE, GENERAL.

TELL ME SOMETHING, GENERAL.

WHY DOES A MAN SO PROUD OF HIS WOUNDS

HIDE THE SCAR?

SAFEST PLACE IN GOD'S UNIVERSE, HUH?

I'LL HAVE YOUR HEAD ON MY TROPHY WALL!

YOU KNOW SOMETHING, GENERAL?

YOU TALK TOO MUCH.

I WANT THE BLUEPRINTS FOR THIS BUILDING NOW!

COVER THE STAIRS! ALL THE FUCKING EXITS!

MOVE IT! MOVE IT!

HE'S HEADED FOR THE ROOF!

HE WENT UP THE SHAFT.

GET A CHOPPER UP THERE!

DON'T SHOOT HIM. DON'T SHOOT HIM.

THE SON OF A BITCH IS MINE.

MAKE A HOLE!

MAKE A HOLE!

Man: HOLD YOUR FIRE!

HA HA HA! YEAH!

GET YOUR ASS UP ON THE DECK, DUNN!

SORRY ABOUT THAT KNOT ON YOUR HEAD, BRADDOCK.

I'M SURE THE SWELLING'S GOING TO MAKE IT REAL HARD

FOR YOU TO STICK UP THE GENERAL'S ASS.

FUCK YOU!

Woodward: SHOULD HAVE KILLED ME WHILE YOU HAD THE CHANCE, DUNN.

PISS-POOR PLANNING ON YOUR PART.

PISS-POOR.

Dunn: YEAH, WELL, I'M A MARINE.

WE DON'T PLAN.

WE IMPROVISE.

Braddock: THROW US THE BAG!

BOMB!

AAH!

Pilot on loudspeaker: HE'S HIT. HE'S DOWN IN THE ALLEY!

MOVE! MOVE! MOVE!

OVER THERE!

UP THERE!

I WANT EVERY SWINGING DICK DOWN THERE!

PULL THE NOOSE TIGHT AND DROP HIM LIKE A BAD HABIT.

THIS MAN DIES TONIGHT, GENTLEMEN.

LET'S GO! THIS WAY!

Braddock: HA HA! YOU'RE MINE NOW, BITCH!

Braddock: COME HERE! COME HERE!

WHERE YOU GOING? YOU AIN'T GOING NOWHERE.

HA HA HA! YEAH, COME HERE, MAN!

THE PAIN, THE PAIN, THE BEAUTIFUL PAIN!

AAH!

DID THAT HURT?

STOP CRYING LIKE A FUCKING GIRL!

YOU'RE NOT A WARRIOR, DUNN. THAT'S WHY WE CHOSE YOU.

YOU'RE NOTHING BUT A FUCKING PANSY!

I'M THE WARRIOR!

NOW YOU'RE A DICKLESS WARRIOR.

Braddock: GET DUNN. GET ME OUT OF HERE.

Newscaster: THERE'S BEEN A FIERY EXPLOSION

AT DOWNTOWN'S POLICE PLAZA BUILDING.

UNCONFIRMED REPORTS PLACE FUGITIVE JAMES DUNN AT THE SCENE.

POLICE AND ARMY UNITS ARE APPARENTLY IN PURSUIT OF THE ALLEGED ASSASSIN.

[SIREN]

HEY!

DO YOU KNOW ME?

[SCREAMING]

GET OUT!

EVERYBODY!

YOU, TOO! GET OUT OF HERE!

[BUZZER]

YES?

Woman: HE'S ON THE LINE.

RACKMILL.

I GOT THE FILES.

WHERE ARE YOU?

IT DOESN'T MATTER.

LISTEN, THERE'S ONE WITNESS LEFT.

HER NAME IS VICTORIA CONSTANTINI.

I WANT YOUR WORD WHEN SHE CONTACTS YOU, YOU'LL PROTECT HER.

WE'VE ALREADY HEARD FROM HER.

I WANT YOUR WORD.

YOU HAVE MY WORD. WHAT ABOUT THE FILES?

THEY BELONG TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE NOW.

SON, WHATEVER YOU ARE THINKING OF DOING, DON'T DO IT.

YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT'S AT STAKE HERE.

[DIAL TONE]HELLO? HELLO?

TELL ME YOU GOT HIM.

WE GOT HIM.

I WANT A TEAM THERE NOW.

OUR CHOPPER'S ON THE WAY.

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

GOT IT. WE'RE ON OUR WAY.

DUNN'S JUST BEEN SPOTTED DOWNTOWN AT THE CENTRAL MARKET.

[SIRENS]

FREEZE!

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

THIS IS RACKMILL.

Man: WE'VE GOT HIM, SIR.

WELL, THAT'S GOOD, VERY GOOD.

KEEP HIM ON ICE. I'LL GET BACK TO YOU.

YES, SIR.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WE GOT HIM.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR A WONDERFUL EVENING'S WORK.

GO HOME AND GET SOME REST.

SPENCER, TAKE A WALK WITH ME, WILL YOU?

WHAT IS IT?

I WOULD LIKE YOU TO CALL WOODWARD

AND TELL HIM I WANT TO BE HIS NEW PARTNER.

EXCUSE ME?

I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

THAT'S PRETTY GOOD-- THAT INNOCENT SCHOOLBOY THING.

A LITTLE OVERPLAYED, MAYBE.

YOUNG, FAIR-HAIRED BOY WANTS TO LEARN FROM THE OLD MASTER.

UNDYING LOYALTY.

CLUMSY ENTHUSIASM.

JOHN...

I READ YOUR FILE.

YOU HAVE NEVER BEEN CLUMSY.

17 ENCRYPTED PHONE CALLS FROM LOS ANGELES TO THE PENTAGON,

ALL FROM YOUR OFFICE.

SEE, I STILL HAVE FRIENDS IN THE AGENCY.

YOU DON'T WANT TO DO THAT.

RUIN YOUR WHOLE LIFE FOR SOME COWBOY STUNT? NO.

THAT'S BETTER.

NOW, THIS IS BUSINESS.

YOU HAVE JUST BEEN TURNED.

I KNOW IT'S HARD,

BUT IT HAPPENS TO PEOPLE LIKE US ALL THE TIME,

AND IT'S EMINENTLY SURVIVABLE.

EVERYTHING IS THE SAME,

EXCEPT THAT NOW YOU WORK FOR ME.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT?

[QUIETLY] YES.

GOOD.

NOW YOU CAN GO AND MAKE YOUR PHONE CALL.

HOW COULD THAT HAPPEN?

SOMEBODY ELSE GOT HIM.

HE GOT PAST THIS GRID?

HOW THE HELL DID HE GET PAST THIS GRID?

Braddock: GENERAL. GENERAL.

IT'S SPENCER. THE C.I.A. HAS HIM.

GOOD WORK, SPENCER.

Rackmill: NOT REALLY, ADAM.

WHO THE HELL IS THIS?

KEN RACKMILL.

HELLO, KEN. BEEN A LONG TIME.

LET'S GET DOWN TO NUT CUTTING.

YOU REMEMBER HIROSHIMA?

THAT WAS BIRTHDAY CANDLES ON A CAKE

COMPARED TO WHAT WILL HAPPEN

IF WHAT YOU NOW HAVE IN YOUR POSSESSION COMES TO LIGHT.

SINCE I KNOW ALL YOUR DARK SECRETS AS WELL,

MAYBE WE CAN DO A LITTLE HORSE TRADING.

I'M LISTENING.

NOW, I WANT DUNN.

SO WHAT LITTLE THING CAN I DO TO PUT A SMILE ON YOUR FACE?

I UNDERSTAND THERE'S A SUBSTANTIAL REWARD

FOR THE CAPTURE OF MR. DUNN-- 10 MILLION.

NOW, IT WOULD SEEM THAT SINCE I HAVE HIM IN MY CUSTODY,

I SHOULD BE ENTITLED TO HALF OF THAT.

WE UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER.

I'LL MAKE THE ARRANGEMENTS, GET BACK TO YOU.

GOOD.

BRADDOCK.

WE'RE ABOUT TO BE REDEEMED.

Bickhart: $5 MILLION FOR DUNN AND THE FILES?

WHO DOES THIS SON OF A BITCH THINK HE IS

THAT HE CAN BLACKMAIL US?

CAPTAIN BRADDOCK HAS GOTTEN HERE BEFORE US.

HE'S TAKEN A SHOOTER'S POSITION.

ONCE DUNN AND THE FILES ARE DELIVERED,

BRADDOCK WILL TAKE OUT RACKMILL.

WELL, THIS ONE HAD BETTER WORK, GENERAL.

TRY TO KEEP YOUR PANTIES DRY.

KENNY.

ADAM.

DONALD BICKHART, KENNY RACKMILL.

AS YOU SEE, GENTLEMEN,

I'VE LIVED UP TO MY PART OF THE BARGAIN.

WHERE ARE THE FILES?

LET ME SEE THE MONEY.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO COUNT IT?

I'M SURE YOU ALREADY HAVE.

WELL...

THEN WE'RE DONE HERE.

NOT QUITE. THERE'S ONE LITTLE DETAIL.

WHAT MIGHT THAT BE, KENNY?

JUST KILLING DUNN WILL NOT SOLVE YOUR PROBLEMS.

HOW IS THAT?

A PATSY IS NO GOOD WITHOUT A TRAIL TO SOMEONE.

UH-HUH.

I THINK THE IDEA THAT SERGEANT DUNN

WAS HIRED BY A RICH AND POWERFUL PERSON

TO KILL THE FIRST LADY OF THE UNITED STATES

IN ORDER TO COVER UP THE FACT

THAT HE WAS USING AMERICAN SOLDIERS

TO TEST A VIRAL WEAPONS AGENT

IS A VERY GOOD SCENARIO. DON'T YOU THINK SO?

WHAT IS HE TALKING ABOUT?

Rackmill: THE PRESS WILL ABSOLUTELY FALL IN LOVE WITH IT,

AND THE FOLKS IN WASHINGTON ARE GOING TO BUY IT.

GENERAL... WHAT'S GOING ON?

Rackmill: AND, GENERAL,

YOU'RE GOING TO BE A HERO.

OH, NO...

NO.

NO!

TAKE HIM OUT.

[GUNSHOT]

TAKE YOUR CUT.

GOOD DOING BUSINESS WITH YOU, GENERAL.

OF COURSE, WE'RE FAIR MEN.

IF WE'RE GOING TO COLLECT THE REWARD,

WE'RE GOING TO DELIVER THE FUGITIVE TO JUSTICE.

ABSOLUTELY. ALIVE OR DEAD?

IT'D BE A PITY TO BRING A LIVE RATTLESNAKE FORTH

AND ENDANGER THE INNOCENT.

DON'T YOU THINK SO?

LET THE HONOR BE MINE.

KENNY RACKMILL.

[MUFFLED SHOUTING]

IMPROVISE THIS, ASSHOLE.

PAYBACK'S A BITCH, AIN'T IT?

DUNN!

DUNN!

SOMETIMES I PLAN SHIT.

Newscaster: THE FOCUS SHIFTED TO WASHINGTON, D.C., TODAY

FOR THE FUNERAL OF GENERAL ADAM WOODWARD.

GENERAL WOODWARD WAS DECLARED A HERO

AFTER HE WAS KILLED UNCOVERING THE CONSPIRACY

TO MURDER THE FIRST LADY.

WOODWARD FOUND OUT...

CONGRESSIONAL HEARINGS OPEN TODAY IN THE CASE

OF BICKHART PHARMACEUTICALS AND ITS SECRET HUMAN TEST OF THE VACCINE C.R.C.-13.

THE CASE WAS PUSHED INTO PUBLIC VIEW

BY DR. VICTORIA CONSTANTINI, WHOSE TESTIMONY IS CRUCIAL

BECAUSE OF HER EARLY TREATMENT OF THE MILITARY VETERANS

INVOLVED IN THE ILLEGAL RESEARCH.

THE DRUG COMPANY'S FOUNDER, DONALD BICKHART,

COMMITTED SUICIDE AFTER HE WAS LINKED WITH ASSASSIN ALAN BRADDOCK

IN THE PLOT TO KILL THE FIRST LADY.

IN AN IRONIC TWIST TO ALL THIS, ESCAPED CONVICT JAMES DUNN,

THE APPARENT FALL GUY OF THE CONSPIRATORS,

WAS RETURNED TO MILITARY PRISON LAST MONTH.

HIS FINAL APPEAL WAS RECENTLY DENIED.

HIS LONG DELAYED EXECUTION WAS CARRIED OUT LAST NIGHT.

I'M CHRISTINE DEVINE. BACK TO YOU IN THE NEWSROOM.

Man: THANKS, CHRISTINE...

WOW. YOU KNOW, YOU LOOK JUST LIKE THAT GUY.
