Original subtitles

Get down on the ground.

KESSLER: previously on "The Border":

I got other tricks if you wanna see '’em.

Bombs, shootings, people getting killed...

[GUNFIRE POPS RAPIDLY]

It'’s all on me.

You gotta check in with me everyday.

No exceptions, no screw-ups.

So how long'’s the deep-freeze gonna last?

Get a parka.

Maybe our working styles aren'’t so different.

He'’s moved on. we both have.

You met someone?

It'’s early days.

I can'’t.

Turn your attention to real concerns

Like this presidential visit.

Minister Hardacre appointed me

ministry consultant on border security

for the president'’s visit.

This just came through from the FBI.

SLADE: They all flagged this guy.

He has a history of psychotic behaviour.

It'’s a pro-life rally in Pittsburgh two weeks ago.

Kill the president! Kill him!

He crossed at Windsor last night.

You already let him into the country.

DARNELL: Unit'’s in position.

MOOSE: Where the hell is this guy?

DARNELL: Slade saw him on security camera forty minutes ago.

What kind of moron shows up four days early?

DARNELL: He publicly called for the death of the president.

He doesn'’t strike me as Mensa material.

MOOSE: That'’s him.

We got eyes on.

Large duffel bag. Suspect could be armed.

I see him.

MOOSE: Vernon!

DARNELL: He'’s on the run.

MILES: Outta my way!

MAN: Hey! [WOMAN STARTLED GRUNT]

KHALI: He'’s north over the bridge.

WOMAN: Watch it!

GRAY: Don'’t move.

CARVER: Drop the bag!

GRAY: Sir, stay back, stay back.

MILES: I haven'’t done anything!GRAY: Put it down! Now!

MILES: okay. Okay.

CARVER: Miles Vernon, you'’re under arrest for uttering threats

Against the president of the united states.

Threa... It'’s called free speech!

What'’s in the bag?

MILES: Hey, I got a right to protest.

CARVER: You don'’t have a right to kill the president.

I'’m not the only one who wants him dead.

[SEAGULLS CRY]

[DIGITAL CLOCK BEEPS]

He claims he was a translator in Afghanistan.

Can you assure me he'’s not Taliban?

I'’ve got less than three days left

Before the president gets here.

Hey! They were out of tuna. Turkey okay?

Yeah, thanks.

Here'’s an equation for you:

Bad economy plus liberal African-American president

Equals?

Angry white conservatives with itchy trigger fingers?

Yeah. Take look at this one.

The right of the people to keep and bare firearms

shall not be infringed.

I'’m saying arm yourselves, people.

'’Cause we got ourselves a government

That'’s willing to murder and sacrifice its own citizens

Just so that they can ram its liberal agenda

down our throats.

No gun nut left behind.

I just got off the phone with a guy

who wants to fly his UFO over the convention centre

and fire a giant laser into the president'’s brain.

Oh good, glad to see I'’m not the only one

getting stuck with the "institutionals."

Yeah, all this and Minister Hardass

and his evil minion breathing down our neck.

I can'’t wait for the president to be somebody else'’s problem.

You already know Andrew Mannering,

Our border security consultant.

This is Major Kessler.

Heads up immigration and customs security.

Special agent Kurt Sauls, U.S. Secret service.

Major. Minister Hardacre tells me

ICS was instrumental in nabbing the suspect,

Miles Vernon.

We can keep him here, or return him stateside. Your choice.

We'’ll take him.

I can assure you that every inch

of our border'’s being monitored.

We won'’t have another "Vernon" incident.

President Howard'’s received 4 times as many death threats

as his predecessors.

Our team is tracking down every lead,

From priority suspects to left-field wingnuts.

He traded it to push through his alternative energy project.

He'’s moving with a plan for a wall

on the Mexican border.

Which is making him a lot of friends among Mexican activists.

Considering that this is the North American

Immigration summit,

Perhaps we should concentrate our attention there.

It'’s a good idea.

There are plenty of people besides the Mexicans

who have grudges against the U.S. Administration.

[PLANE WHIRS LOUDLY]

[HUM OF CHATTER THROUGHOUT AIRPORT]

Senator?

Special agent Liz Carver, DHS.

Detective sergeant Gray Jackson, ICS.

Phil Carmack.

We'’re here to smooth your way through customs.

Finally.

You know, if I was from some banana republic,

I'’d already have my Canadian health card

and welfare cheque.

Evelyn Slater. Special assistant.

to the director of communications.

We need to verify who'’s travelling with you today.

Certainly.

Everyone but him.

MAN: [CHUCKLES]

I'’ll see you at the cocktail party, Senator.

I'’ve got some ideas-Oh geez, Stan!

Let me get through customs before you start in on me!

Stan Millwood.

Lobbyist for growers in California.

He is not with us.

Let'’s go.

Right this way.

[KEYS CLACK, COMPUTERS BEEP]

Anything?

Yeah, CSE and NSA picked up cell phone chatter.

These guys met at Gitmo.

Bonded over their love of foreign food.

What'’re they saying?

Just enough to keep us listening,

Not enough to learn anything.

A "wedding"?

Yeah, it'’s a favourite euphemism

for "terrorist attack."

I'’d expect something more original from these two.

"City on the lake." That could be Toronto.

Yeah, sure. Or Geneva.

Or Chicago. Or Duluth.

You know, cell phone chatter

just isn'’t as eavesdropper-friendly

as it used to be.

GRAY: I don'’t get Senator Carmack.

What'’s a democratic president doing

with a republican like him?

CARVER: Bipartisanship.

The president needs Carmack

to deliver enough republican votes

to get legislation through the senate.

So what, in exchange, he sells out the Latino vote

on this Mexican border thing?

Do you have any idea how many drugs

pass through that border,

let alone violence and narco-terrorists?

Yeah, I do.

Are you pissed at me for something?

Just the usual low-level irritation.

All right, well, you'’re gonna love this.

I gotta make a stop on the way home

and check out an apartment.

Just gonna take a minute.

Tired of living out of your car?

I'’m doing a little better than that.

This is an apartment-hotel.

Rents by the week.

Rents by the week - you'’re a real solid citizen.

[STREETCAR DINGS AND HUMS ALONG]

For the two of you?

Absolutely not.

I'’ll take it.

PROPERTY MANAGER: [STUNNED BREATH]

When would you like to move in?

Tomorrow?

Look around and I'’ll get the paperwork.

Where'’re you gonna put all your junk?

I got rid of it.

What, even the hockey trophy?

Especially the hockey trophy.

Hey, Gray...

I'’m sorry about your dad.

Well, I'’m just sorry.

Period.

I, uh, hope you brought your chequebook.

SLADE: The president arrives in two days, 16 hours.

I'’ve been monitoring e-traffic.

Moukhtar Hariri,

A member of Jund Ansar Allah.

A radical islamic group

That makes hamas look like the wiggles.

Yesterday, he received this confirmation

for a posting he made on nedsbasement.com.

Internet classifieds.

Really?

SLADE: He'’s selling a battery charger.

"Charger" is the secret service'’s codename

for President Howard.

Elias is the president'’s middle name.

Look at the date for reply.

MOOSE: Friday.

That'’s when the president arrives.

SLADE: And the chatty Gitmo guys,

Uh, excited about the wedding in the city by the lake?

One of them is HarirI'’s cousin.

We'’re treating this as a credible threat.

MANNERING: Priority one threat.

He'’s been linked to dozens of incidents in Israel.

SLADE: He'’s on pretty much everyone'’s list.

MANNERING: most recently, he was employed by the QUDs force.

That'’s the special ops wing of Iran'’s revolutionary guard.

Who'’s he trying to reach with the web ad in Toronto?

Could be one person. Could be a group.

We know Iran often uses Hezbollah

to do their dirty work.

It'’s possible they'd use a skilled assassin

From Jund Ansar Allah.

I thought the president was reaching out

To muslims in the Middle East.

Why would Iran want him dead?

'’Cause the U.S. Keeps meddling behind the scenes,

aligning itself with protesters...

We have to move quickly on this.

Darnell, contact CSIS.

See if they can track down Hariri.

Got it.

KESSLER: Slade, monitor replies to the ad.

Moose, Khali,

go through all known Jund Ansar members in Canada.

Gimme one second.

Slade.

Hmm?

What if it'’s not a reply we'’re looking for,

but another ad?

Immigration lawyer?

KHALI: Yeah, but look what he says.

He references the president'’s upcoming joint announcement

with the pm. "Don'’t wait!

Soon Canada will conform with U.S. Immigration policy

and the doors will be closed.

Special deal if you act by Friday."

Nice find.Thanks.

I'’ll track the email,

see if I can find an IP address.

KHALI AND SLADE: Okay.

MAGGIE: Oh for god'’s sake!

Why don'’t you just speak to me like a normal human being?

It'’s Mannering. He keeps emailing instructions.

Six in the last four hours.

What kind of instructions?

Well, here'’s his latest.

He wants me to classify

All outstanding deportation orders

By country of origin

And prioritize them

according to the level of tensions politically

with the United States.

He'’s creating a paper trail.

So he can claim he took every precaution to protect the president.

Do I have to take orders from him?

The chain of command remains unchanged.

Report to me.

Why is it in government

that the skim always rises to the top

And never the cream?

Because cream is smart enough to stay clear of politics.

Hm. Honestly, I don'’t know how stand

Having Mannering looking over your shoulder?

You know the old saying: "keep your enemies closer."

This way we can keep an eye on him.

Forward me a copy of his emails.

We should haul in every Iranian

and Lebanese refugee

with even a hint of a connection

to Jund Ansar Allah.

And what? Pull out their fingernails?

I got a name and address from the service provider.

The second nedsbasement ad?

The poster is Daryush Abedin.

Is he in our files?

SLADE: No. He'’s a student. But he'’s an active member

of the Iranian Student Association.

Let'’s pick him up.

GRAY: Daryush Abedin.

ICS! Open the door!

Still warm.

LANDLORD: Daryush never signed a lease.

He paid three months rent up front.

Cash?

Yeah, it was such a short term.

GRAY: You ever see anybody else coming and going?

He have any friends? Maybe a girlfriend?

LANDLORD: No, no. Never saw anybody.

He kept to himself. He was very quiet.

CARVER: Hey, Gray?

Today'’s paper.

[PAGES FLITTER]

Okay, well, here'’s what he cut out:

"How to protect the president."

MOOSE: Oh, perfect.

This details the entire motorcade route from Pearson.

It even lays out the security features

of the limo.

MAGGIE: Well, let'’s hope it'’s a deterrent,

not an invitation.

Large lump sum cash deposit in daryush'’s bank account

three months ago.

Well, I guess we know how he paid his rent upfront.

Lots of ammo and explosives money left over.

I can'’t believe a Jund Ansar assassin

would hire a student to carry out his plans.

Could be a sleeper.

Or he'’s part of a larger network.

[PHONE RINGS]

[HELICOPTER ROTORS BEAT]

I recovered the data on Daryush'’s computer.

He had an encrypted partition.

This is what he didn'’t want us to see.

A map of the sewer system under the motorcade'’s route,

Floor plans for the conference centre,

Staff schedule for the day of the president'’s visit,

and schematics and security codes

for the alarms.

Kid'’s done his homework.

Why wasn'’t daryush abedin on your radar before this?

Canadian born. Secular family.

No affiliation with any extremist groups.

Not true.

No criminal record.

Daryush'’s uncle is a radical cleric in Iran,

Part of the ayatollah'’s inner circle.

That'’s his mother's second cousin.

It'’s a completely separate branch of the family.

He'’s never been to Canada.

Daryush would never have met him.

All those plans on Daryush'’s computer?

He sent them to six different email addresses,

20 minutes before we landed on his apartment.

So who do the addresses belong to?

Uh, I'’m tracking the IPs...

This operation could already be underway.

[TRAFFIC RUMBLES ALONG]

So, do you think Mannering'’s with us permanently,

or does he blow out of town when the president does?

I get the feeling he'’s not going anywhere.

Hm.

Is that our guy?

Hey! Hey!

[CAR DOORS CLOSE]

Eyes on target. We'’re moving in.

Daryush Abedin.

Yeah.ICS.

We need you to come with us.

Come on.

I replied to an ad on the bulletin board

at the student centre.

The Iranian Student Association.

Yeah.

It was a housesitting gig.

Free rent for three months.

No pets and no plants.

Easy, right?

Did you meet someone at the apartment

to make the arrangements?

Someone dropped off an envelope, had a note,keys...

What else was in there?

[SIGHS]

A bit of cash.

More than a bit.

Uh, note said all I had to do was...

Make the place look lived in.

That didn'’t make you suspicious?

It sounded too good to be true, but...

Come on, free rent? Cash?

I wasn'’t going to complain, you know?

And you never met anyone about the apartment?

Just the landlord.

To give him the rent money, like the note said.

MANNERING: Stop wasting our time!

You'’re gonna give us your network.

What network?You can start by telling us who you sent these to.

I don'’t know what this is!

I'’ve never even seen this stuff before.

We recovered it from your hard drive.

The computer... The computer in the apartment?

No, no, that wasn'’t mine.

That was there when I moved in.

The note even said that I could use it.

Give us the names!

I didn'’t send anything to anybody.

You sent highly classified information

to these six people.

Who are they?

[NERVOUS BREATH] I'’m being set up!

See, I don'’t know anything about this stuff, okay?

I'’m just a student.

I'’m not a terrorist!

DARNELL: Okay. Thanks.

CSIS located Hariri.

Mossad has him.

Anything to link him to the nedsbasement.com ad,

or Daryush Abedin?

They pulled him out of Lebanon ten days ago.

They'’ve got him in an undisclosed location.

He'’s had no outside contact with anyone.

So he couldn'’t have been involved.

We'’ve been played.

[COMPUTERS BEEP]

KHALI: Slade?

I can'’t believe it.

I mean, it was all a set-up.

[HUFFS IN DISGUST] Next time my head gets that big,

I want you to just pop it like a balloon.

It was an elaborate smokescreen.

You couldn'’t have known.

Cracking the nedsbasement.com code,

tracking the IP that led to Daryush Abedin?

Ah... God, it was just...

I ate it all up like pac-man.

Somebody went to a lot of trouble

to feed us false information.

Yeah. Point us in the wrong direction.

Exactly.

So, what is it they want us to miss?

We'’ve only got a day and a half to find out.

[SEAGULLS CRY]

We have to pull the plug.

That'’s not gonna happen.

We can'’t guarantee the president'’s safety.

He isn'’t gonna cancel his visit

because of unverified terrorist threats.

What about the Mexican angle?

Radicals opposed

to the president'’s hardline stance

on Mexican immigration.

We have no intelligence to support--

You haven'’t detained a single suspect from that community.

We are investigating every credible threat

to the president.

If something concrete comes to your attention,

please keep me informed.

[DERISIVE HALF LAUGH]

Whoever'’s behind this cyber scam

is an 18th level tech warrior.

And I do not throw that title around loosely.

If anyone can unmask him, it'’s you.

Faking emails?

Yeah, okay, any monkey with a typewriter.

Remote-controlling daryush abedin'’s computer?

Sure. But this guy had access

to HarirI'’s real email address.

I mean, a Jund Ansar Allah assassin in Lebanon.

Th-th-that is no joke.

Slade, you'’re putting him on a pedestal.

He'’s just another geek with a head start.

You'’ll catch him.

I have faith.

[COMPUTER BEEPS]

Major Kessler?

Phil Carmack. Senate republican leader.

You work with Andrew Mannering?

Yes.

Would you please tell him how much I enjoyed

His piece on U.S-Canada border surveillance

in Vanguard magazine.

He'’ll be delighted.

If more Canadians shared his view,

we wouldn'’t have terrorists slipping across the border.

I'’ll let him know you'’re a fan.

You know, you guys should get yourself a blimp,

like ours.

Up there, over Detroit,

we can see the monograms on your bath towels

In Windsor.

It'’s good meeting you.

Likewise.

Major,

I received a call from your security coordinator,

Andrew Mannering.

Detected a note of real concern in his voice.

He tends to overreact in stress situations.

He suggested the president cancel his visit to Toronto.

Obviously, we'’re not gonna do that.

Of course not. It would set a dangerous precedent.

Should we be worried?

Whoever laid down this false trail

is still in play.

We'’ve got less than 24 hours.

I'’d recommend creating a margin of safety:

change the venue

of the president'’s joint announcement.

Moving to a new location'’s

gonna piss off a lot of people.

Keep the circle small.

Need-to-know only until zero hour.

Well, I appreciate the honesty, major.

[PHONE BUZZES]

No one likes to admit a screw-up.

[PHONE BEEPS]

[INTENSE MUSIC PLAYS]

Thanks.

Hey.

RCMP just reported a double homicide

on the manitoba-north Dakota border.

Wilderness area. Vics were hunters.

Shot with a 9 millimetre.

That'’s an unusual caliber for hunting.

MAGGIE: Time of death?

36 hours ago.

SLADE: This is the predator.

Supposedly keeping an eye out for illegal immigrants

pouring in from Manitoba.

What about assassins sneaking into Canada?

Just hours and hours of rivers, lakes, and trees

Until...

[CAMERA FEED CRACKLES]

What happened?

"Technical glitch."

23 minutes of missing data.

At about the same time that the hunters were killed.

And just long enough for someone to slip over the border

without being spotted.

What happened to the Predator 36 hours ago?

OCTAVIA JONES: It'’s back on-line.

We lost 23 minutes of data.

It wasn'’t a glitch.

Our techs confirm that a virus

compromised the drone about 40 hours ago.

Why wasn'’t I notified?

I only found out about it this morning.

Director didn'’t want anyone to know

that the system had been hacked.

Do our techs have any idea where the virus came from?

OCTAVIA JONES: They'’re working on it.

And Agent Carver?

This incident is classified.

I'’ll be sure to pass that on to the Canadian

who spotted the glitch.

Terri?

What brings you here?

Two ICS officers picked up Ramon Esteban.

Who?

Don'’t play innocent.

You know perfectly well who he is.

Actually, I don'’t.

The president'’s here in twenty hours,

we'’ve picked up dozens of people.

Ramon'’s a Mexican journalist.

Mexican.

He'’s made a lot of enemies

writing about government collusion in the drug wars.

He'’s a political refugee, not a terrorist.

Just give me a minute.

MANNERING: You'’ve publicly insulted the president

for his plan for a wall on the Mexican border.

RAMON: A wall will not stop the drug wars

from spilling into the states.

A word?

I don'’t recall authorizing

the detention of Mexican refugees.

Ramon Esteban is a person of interest.

I don'’t care if he'’s Osama Bin Laden.

You do not run interrogations at ICS without my approval.

Esteban is a radical who'’s had personal contact

With at least two Mexican drug cartels.

He'’s an outspoken critic of President Howard.

And if that'’s not enough to arouse your suspicions,

he'’s also an advocate of legalizing narcotics.

He'’s a journalist and a refugee.

I have the minister'’s consent.

Please, forgive the disruption.

Now, where were we?

I stand by what I'’ve written.

The so-called "war on drugs"

has only enriched the cartels and the street gangs,

And no wall is going to stop the flow of violence

or the trafficking of narcotics.

You'’re no stranger to the drug cartels yourself.

I assure you, they do not regard me with affection.

Have you ever threatened the life of the U.S. President,

either privately or publicly?

Of course not.

The death of President Howard

would only put the vice president in power

and she takes an even harder line.

We'’re done here.

Please, come with me.

Are you all right?

I'’m fine.

Don'’t worry, okay?

Can you give me a second?

Sure.

That'’s the guy you're seeing?

You mean you really didn'’t know?

If I had, I would'’ve locked him up

and thrown away the key.

Well... Thank you for not doing that.

CARVER: Carver.

Our techs report that the drone virus

was uploaded by an IP address

supplied by an Ontario service provider.

Do they have a name?

No, not yet.

Our hacker'’s using 3G wireless modem.

All they can tell us right now

is that he'’s somewhere in the Toronto area.

[COMPUTER BEEPING]

MAGGIE: How'’re we doing?

SLADE: I sweet-talked the service provider.

I'’m piggybacking on the hacker's wireless modem signal.

You have access to his computer?

Yeah. Yeah.

And I can read his thoughts

and melt his eyebrows off with my heat vision.

No, I can'’t get inside his computer.

But I can monitor all outgoing info

sent from wireless modem. Wherever he goes.

[COMPUTER BEEPS]

Oh, there'’s an outgoing message right now.

Oh, this is bad.

Boss! We'’ve got a big problem.

He knows we changed the venue!

And he just put the word out.

We have an internal security leak.

[SEAGULLS CRY]

[HELICOPTER ROTORS BEAT IN DISTANCE]

Who knew about the change of venue?

Secret service is sending over a list.

Who did the hacker send the information to?

A free, web-based email account,

registered to a false name and address.

Can we find this hacker

by tracing who bought the 3g wireless modem?

Moose is running that down.

Call me as soon as he does.

Air Force One is wheels up over Sacramento.

They'’re not going to turn the president'’s plane around,

He'’s going to be here in less than six hours.

Is this the complete list?

Secret service,

select members of the RCMP and metro Toronto teams,

The PMO, west wing staffers and us.

Well, it can'’t be anyone here.

And it'’s no one on the president'’s security detail.

They'’re all intensely vetted.

Maggie.

Maggie.

Hacker bought the wireless modem with a stolen credit card.

So it'’s a dead end.

We should shut down his signal.

Stop him from sending anything else out.

He'’ll just buy another one.

DARNELL: Let him use it.

Better to know what he'’s sending

than to be completely in the dark.

It'’s our only trail to the assassin.

Guys. Guys.

It'’s sorta moot.

The hacker'’s gone silent

ever since the change in venue message went out.

Operational silence.

Or he knows we'’re watching his every move.

No motive, clean record, grew up with the first lady.

I think we can rule him out. Okay. Thanks.

Who'’s next?

The woman at the airport, Evelyn Slater.

Special assistant to the white house

Director of communications.

[PHONE RINGS]

Hello, minister.

MINISTER HARDACRE: Maybe I wasn'’t clear.

Andrew Mannering requires full and complete access

to ICS facilities and resources.

I need to know when we have suspects in custody.

He may have overstepped,

but he'’s authorized to detain and interrogate suspects

as he deems necessary.

KESSLER: Not without my authority.

Using every resource available is the hallmark

of good management.

Take advantage of Mr. Mannering'’s expertise.

CARVER: White House gave us access to Evelyn Slater'’s email.

Check out the correspondence between her and Stan Millwood.

"I can'’t stop thinking about you.

I can still smell you on my skin."

And it gets a lot raunchier.

Pages and pages of it, it goes back months.

GRAY: Who'’s Stan Millwood?

That lobbyist we saw at the airport.

I just phoned the hotel.

Housekeeping says her bed hasn'’t been slept in

since she arrived.

Millwood'’s married.

Could just be an affair.

Affairs mean pillow talk.

Hey Moose, Darnell,

Go pick up Evelyn Slater.

We'’ll look into Stan Millwood.

This is her.

Evelyn Slater.Yes.

ICS. We need you to come with us.

What? Now? No, I can'’t.

I have a conference call in four minutes.

They ganna have to do without you.

[CELL PHONE RINGS]

Yeah.

CARVER: I'’ve got Millwood.

He'’s coming out of the conference centre.

All right, you keep in touch. I'’ll search his room.

Slade, can you track a call in progress?

Pay phone outside the conference centre,

East entrance.

Copy that.

He'’s calling another pay phone. Ah, Harbourfront.

Let'’s see if there is any cameras on that block.

Got him.

Can you describe him?

Male, thirties, Caucasian.

I'’ll run his face through the system,

see if we can get a match.

Slade, send the image to DHS in Washington.

Have them do the same.

Please don'’t tell anyone.

My husband doesn'’t know.

When did you find out about the change in venue

for the president'’s announcement?

Wednesday. As soon as the advance team

made the arrangements.

Did you mention the change to Stan Millwood?

I'’m not sure. I might have.

Mrs. Slater, it'’s very important you tell us

exactly what you told him.

I told him, I was glad the president was speaking

at the hotel.

I joked that we could sleep in an extra twenty minutes.

I don'’t understand-

GRAY: Do you know what he'’s doing in Toronto?

He works for the California farmers'’ lobby.

He'’s fighting to relax the laws for migrant workers.

[PHONE VIBRATES]

Excuse me.

Carver.

We ran background on Stan Millwood.

He used to work for axis nuclear.

High-powered Washington lobbyist.

DARNELL: Did well for them.

took his pound of flesh in stock options.

Guy'’s a multi-millionaire on paper.

But if the president'’s alternative energy bill passes,

Axis nuclear will lose billions.

And Millwood'’s stocks will tank.

Along with all his nuclear energy cronies.

Could be motive.

I finished combing the cse'’s transcripts

For the last two days.

Any match on millwood'’s phone pal yet?

Ha! I knew it!

Oh, your head'’s even bigger than mine!

Excuse me?

My nemesis. He left a tag.

In the programming for the drone virus.

Like, like an easter egg?

Like a "hey look at me, Kilroy was here"

Buried in the coding.

He couldn'’t resist signing his masterpiece.

He'’s so arrogant, he thought we'’d never find it.

But I ran his coding through

a cryptographic hash function and...

[COMPUTER BEEPING]

Didn'’t just leave a fingerprint.

He left a whole hand.

Well, can you use that to find him?

Oh...

Literally, only a few dozen people on the planet

with this level of skill.

Yeah. You'’re one of them.

Oh, no. He'’s, he's amazing.

But I might be able to analyze his unique coding style

And match his current work with his earlier efforts.

Most of us, we start with finger painting

and work up to the Sistine chapel.

The FBI'’s identified the man Millwood called.

Ryan Byrne. Ex-delta force.

Highly-skilled assassin.

Used to run special ops in the middle east.

Who'’s he work for now?

CARVER: Whoever'’s got the deepest pockets.

Friendly neighbourhood gun-for-hire.

He could easily have slipped over the border

In the twenty-three minutes the drone was down.

The hunters saw him, he killed the witnesses and moved on.

Cold-blooded killer with specialized training.

It'’s going to be almost impossible to stop him.

Air Force One just touched down at Pearson.

[HELICOPTER ROTORS BEAT IN DISTANCE]

MANNERING: Dozens of aliases, god knows how many passports he has.

Kessler: and a long list of bloody credits.

To which we can add two unfortunate hunters.

So he crossed at the Manitoba border.

Probably travelled by bus, no I.D. required.

Kessler: he contacted Millwood at the harbourfront pay phone.

By now, he could be anywhere in the GTA.

So how do we find him?

Do you know him?

No.

He'’s an assassin.

And this is who he was talking to.

There has to be a mistake.

GRAY: We have phone records.

What possible reason would Mr. Millwood have

to talk to a killer for hire?

I don'’t know!

He worked for axis nuclear.

And he'’s a major stockholder.

I don'’t understand.

He'’s still on their payroll protecting their interests.

And his own.

They'’ll lose everything if the alternative energy bill passes.

I can'’t believe it.

We think Stan Millwood used you

to get access to the president'’s schedule.

He said he loved me.

He wanted me to leave my husband...

Where is he now?I don'’t know.

You stayed with him last night.

When I woke up, he was gone.

Stan millwood'’s hired a gunman to kill the president

and you'’ve helped him.

Oh god.

You want to save President Howard,

you'’ll tell us everything you told Millwood.

I don'’t know what I said!

Oh no.

What?

I was on the phone this morning when Stan was in the shower.

But if he overheard -

We were talking about the impromptu.

What'’s the impromptu?

Whenever he travels,

President Howard makes "unscheduled" stops.

It'’s a great photo op.

Where?

Maple fudge.

The former ambassador told him about a shop

in the distillery district - girard'’s. Shit!

[HELICOPTER ROTORS BEAT]

KESSLER: RCMP reports northeast zone clear.

GRAY: Copy. Clear from the south.

The Mounties got the western approach locked up.

KHALI: All quiet from the northwest.

MANNERING: Charger is six minutes away.

Eyes sharp. Six minutes.

[SIRENS WAIL]

KESSLER: Slade, we need info now.

I'’m running the assassin's photos

Through a program that compares key biometrics

to localized CCTV footage.

If he'’s there,

if the camera got a look at his face,

maybe we can find him before he takes a shot.

DARNELL: Charger is on site.

Circus has started.

[ROTORS BEAT]

Secret service has eyes on a suspect.

GRAY: Male, grey tracksuit, green backpack.

Heading east. RCMP in pursuit.

Charger is our of the car.

KHALI: Charger is heading for the shop.

Get on the ground now!

GRAY: Okay. They'’ve got him.

Senator is on sight, getting out.

That'’s not him! They got the wrong guy!

Say again, Slade.

SLADE: He'’s dressed like a sniper.

Slade, do you have a 20.

Yeah. Three minutes ago,

he was one block east of the shop.

I can'’t get an address-

KESSLER: Gunman still at large. Location not secure!

SERVICEMAN: Clear. Clear!

Go! Go! Go!

SLADE: Oh no!

The president isn'’t the target!

He doesn'’t have a shot. Look, look!

MANNERING: Charger is secure.

He'’s aiming at the senator.

The president'’s not the target! It'’s Carmack!

Get down! Get down!

Get down!

MAN: Let'’s go!

[GUNSHOT, GLASS SHATTERS]

[PANICKED SCREAMING]

DARNELL: We don'’t have eyes on the shooter.

KHALI: Shot from the east. Your three o'’clock. High.

Rooftop, building east location.

[PANTING]

Stop!

Hold it!

Freeze!

Don'’t do it!

[PAINED GROANS]

MOOSE: Don'’t move!

Don'’t move!

Don'’t move!

[RELIVED SIGH]

KHALI: Slade, where are you going?

Found my nemesis.

The hacker. Luke Garson.

Get it? Luke'’s hand?

No. Not really, no.

Luke Skywalker lost his hand in Empire Strikes back.

Anyway, garson was at axis nuclear with Millwood.

He left the company three months ago.

This is him? He'’s so-

Average looking?

Yeah. Well, the good ones always are.

You know, they can'’t rely on their looks,

So they develop other skills.

So you caught him on his tag?

Uh, more or less.

Yeah. It'’s basically an evolution of the tag

he used when he hacked payroll records at axis

and gave himself a raise five years ago.

You'’re amazing.

I also matched his coding style to some amateur hacking he did

while he was still at MIT.

Well, his ego'’s going to take a big hit when he meets you.

[LAUGHS]

[HAPPY GRUNT]

[COMPUTERS BEEPING]

MAN: Stay where you are! Don'’t move!

SAULS: Luke Garson, you'’re under arrest

for conspiracy to murder a U.S. Senator.

Oh...

Nicely done, Mr. Slade.

You think I could take a look at these

before you haul them away?

I'’m counting on it.

We value your assessment.

In fact, we'’d like you to join our team.

Your team?

Yeah. We want to talk to you about a position

with the secret service intelligence division.

Oh.

We only recruit the best.

And from what I'’ve seen, that'’s you.

I...

I-I-I don'’t know what to say.

Say you'’ll take the meeting.

[LAUGHS]

NEWS ANCHOR: Stan Millwood, identified as the prime suspect

in the plot to assassinate Senator Carmack...

DHS picked up Stan Millwood at Dulles.

Why was Carmack targeted?

Kessler: the president needs the republican votes

that Carmack can deliver in the senate

For the new alternative energy bill.

He dies, the bill dies with him.

Leaving Millwood and his nuclear energy friends

to get richer.

Well done, major.

Thank you.

Minister.

I thought I stop by to congratulate you.

Well done. Nice work, Andrew.

Thank you.

I think it'’s fair to say this experiment turned out well.

How would you feel about making this arrangement permanent?

[AWKWARD CHUCKLE]

Hey, did you get him?

Oh yeah.

And you'’re not going to believe this...

Senior information technology consultant.

Intelligence division.

Wow. Are you going to take it?

Are you kidding?

I'’d be insane not to.

They have awesome toys

and oh my god, the access I would have,

It'’s just... [MAKES EXPLODING SOUND]

I just...

I kind of thought you were hardwired into this place.

Yeah, well...

Maybe a change of scene would be good for me.

Okay.

I still have to meet some people.

It'’s not a done deal.

Right.

Why? Do you think I should stay?

I um... I should get home.

Congratulations, Slade.

You deserve it.
