Stand down. They're friendlies.
What are you doing here, General Carrington?
What?
What are you doing here?
My daughter...
I'm sorry.
My daughter called.
She needed my help.
Agent Jones and l got here as soon as we could.
What did he want with her?
My guess is they used her as bait to get to me.
And he killed her?
No! The bullet came from outside.
Someone doesn't want that man talking.
We lost the target.
Colonel Amos is taking him into custody.
You do whatever you need to do.
And just make sure that Xlll is killed before he opens his mouth.
You finally see it my way.
I take issue with that.
My sister, more than anyone,
knew that freedom is a privilege as much as it is a burden.
I'm not asking Americans to give up their civil liberties.
I am asking them to elect a strong leader so that
those freedoms can be preserved.
We need to defend ourselves and defend ourselves vigorously.
There's no margin for error because the next attack.
may be the one that brings this country to its knees.
President Galbrain's soft foreign policy
and myopic worldview have made
this country vulnerable to terrorism.
I have an urgent message for the president.
If elected I will do what this administration has failed to do.
I will shore up our borders.
Increase our military presence in the Middle East and Asia.
And put pressure on countries that harbour extreme terrorists.
I will make this country safe again.
And that's a promise.
President Galbrain, you have sixty seconds.
President Galbrain, your rebuttal please.
I'm sorry.
Ladies and gentlemen, my staff has just informed me
that we have apprehended Xlll,
the suspect we believe assassinated President Sally Sheridan.
Oh, they found him.
Yes?
No matter what you hear the schedule remains the same.
I understand.
We're ready to begin.
Listen to me.
I was shot okay.
I don't know who I am.
I don't remember. Believe me.
Put that in his mouth.
You're not listening to me.
I'm telling you the truth.
Hey. Hey. What the hell is that?
Electro-acupuncture.
The current targets the nerve endings
to produce regional anaesthesia, relieves pain.
Of course, if administered improperly it produced quite the opposite result.
You're not listening to me.
Everyone has a breaking point, Mr. Rowland.
I'm not Mr. Rowland.
We're going to find yours.
I'm not Steve Rowland.
Proceed, Doctor.
Hey! Hey! Hey!
You shot and killed the President of the United States.
Why? On whose behalf?
T ake a look around.
I want you to take all this in because this is real.
One day you are going to answer to a higher power until then it is me.
Answer my question.
I can end this for you. Answer my question!
Increase the voltage.
Maintain your cover.
Only you can find out who did this.
As far as the world's concerned you are Steve Rowland.
I didn't tell you to stop.
Look at him. He can't take anymore.
His heart is going to cease.
Call me when he's lucid then.
What do you mean you need more time?
He hasn't given us anything yet.
You're the one who leaked the photograph.
You made us go public.
Now, I staked my campaign on this.
Is he the shooter or not?
He is. I'm certain of it. And he will confess.
We just need a little more time.
There's too much at stake, Sir.
We need to bring him in right now.
Mr. Wax is right. The polls open in three days.
If I don't deliver the man who assassinated
President Sheridan this administration is done.
Mr. President, with all due respect,
turning him in prematurely would be a huge mistake.
Once we charge him he has rights.
That means That means he doesn't have to talk.
Let me remind you, other than the ATM footage
we have no evidence linking Rowland to the assassination.
What we do have is a very small window of opportunity to extract a confession.
By what means?
By any means necessary.
You know I can't sanction those methods.
I'm not asking you to.
As far as I'm concerned we never had this conversation.
Sir, the tip that led us to Rowland came off a civilian.
I extracted that information myself and we acted immediately.
Yet someone beat us to the location and tried to take out our suspect.
The person behind the intel has to have access to our investigation
and that has to come from high up.
Colonel Amos are you suggesting
that this is someone within this administration?
That is the only way they could have acted so quickly.
Who?
I don't know, but the shooter does.
That's why they wanted him dead.
And that's why it's imperative that we aggressively debrief him
on the shooting and everything else.
Sir. Sir, if something were to happen
if it were to get out that this administration authorized
a violation of his civil rights or if the information that he provides
is not credible the political fallout would be disastrous.
This is not about public relations, Mr. Wax.
It's about national security.
This man killed Sally Sheridan.
Now I'm not about to cave because it may jeopardize my campaign.
All right, Colonel, you have four hours.
Round two is psycho-chemical persuasion.
The drugs will flood your cerebral vortex
and the pressure will build in your brain
until it truly feels like it's going to explode.
I am going to get inside that head one way or the other, Mr. Rowland.
The choice is yours.
I told you I don't know anything.
I think you know too much.
That's why they wanted you dead.
At the barn, before we apprehended you, someone tried to take you out.
They didn't want you to talk.
What is it that they're afraid you're going to tell us?
I don't know.
Fine.
Don't be afraid to tell me.
It's okay. I can protect you.
You don't have to be afraid.
Just tell me what I want to know.
T ake him away.
Thank you, gentlemen.
You're dismissed.
It's good to see you again, Xlll.
How do you know me?
How quickly we forget the little people.
Excuse me. Colonel, I have something you need to see.
Notice the micro-fracture along the left parietal bone?
Consistent with a gun shoot wound.
This kind of head trauma can have a significant effect on brain function.
Amnesia?
It's hard to say but it could support his claim of memory loss.
There's more. See these protrusions along the cheek bones?
They're implants. The jaw line has also been reset.
This man has had major facial reconstruction.
We ran his DNA sample through the USAF database.
It returned a hit.
Who is he?
We don't know. The file's been classified.
Are you familiar with Trizitherol?
Kevorkian special.
You know that they'll find me, right?
It doesn't matter.
Unlike you I'm prepared to die for the cause.
You're a coward.
You chose to save yourself instead of saving your country.
But I'm going to give you a chance to die with some dignity.
Who did you talk to?
No one.
You went back to Kim.
General Carrington was at the barn when we found you.
What did you tell them, huh?
I said nothing.
I'm on my way to my daughter's funeral, Colonel.
This is not a good time.
I'm sorry, general. But this is about the shooter.
We have evidence of reconstructive surgery.
Reconstructive surgery?
I'm sorry, I don't understand.
We ran a DNA sample and got a match at the USAF databases.
Only the file has been classified.
I'm sorry, Colonel.
But this is all coming as quite a surprise.
I find that hard to believe considering
you were the one who had the file classified.
You were at the barn when we got there.
Somehow you knew the shooter was going to be there.
I demand to know how.
Colonel, we have a breach.
Lock it down now!
Freeze.
Suspect is on the move.
Third floor, the floors if necessary.
There. Keep moving.
Where is he?
Don't move.
What's he doing?
Where is he?
There. Suspect is moving to the roof.
On your knees. Now!
Don't move!
Put up your hands! Do it!
T ake him down.
We're in position ready for extraction.
You had him in a secure lockup.
How the hell did you lose him?
He had help, Sir, on the inside.
Whoever it was had to have a level six clearance to
have access to the building.
All this time you've been suggesting
that there's a mole in my administration.
Well, perhaps it's your house that needs cleaning, Colonel.
Not my house, Mr. President. The N.S.A.
It appears that there was a breach in the agency
and I think that I've identified the source.
The Deputy Director,
General Carrington.
I've known Ben Carrington for over 20 years.
He's a friend.
Now if you're going to level that kind of accusation at him
you had better have some hard evidence to back it up.
I am in the process of gathering information
and I will have it for you shortly.
Information isn't what we need, Colonel.
What we need here is the shooter.
We'll find him.
You'd better. The polls open in 72 hours.
Now if word gets out that we lost the suspect
I'm officially out of a job.
And so you are you!
Sir, Doctor Kimmler would like to see you.
I'm in the middle of a man hunt here, Doctor.
What's the emergency?
One of our agents was poisoned with Trizitherol.
But I thought you'd want to see this right away.
This is where we set you up.
Come and go as you please.
No one asks any questions.
You liked to keep a few things in here in case it hit the fan.
A few things, huh?
Billionaire industrialist,
Jasper Winthrow appeared before Congress today.
The President of telecommunications giant RMP Telecom
is the latest high-profile executive to publicly endorse
the T elecommunications Security Act.
That's the controversial bill that would allow federal law enforcement to
access Americans' phone records and e-mail accounts
without obtaining warrants.
I believe that the telecommunications industry
has an obligation to protect the privacy of its customers.
Big Brother has officially arrived.
Can't trust the government.
That's for sure.
Did Ames go hard on you?
Sorry, I have to ask.
Did you tell them anything?
No.
They gave me these drugs though.
They made me feel a certain way and seeing things.
What kind of things?
It's these visions.
They're different this time.
Less scattered.
I don't think they're dreams.
They're memories.
What do you remember?
A lot of glass on the floor.
It was like an old factory or some place.
They took me there to question me.
A lot of men in suits.
What about their faces? Did you see their faces?
I saw people.
I can't put a face to anyone
except for Mongoose.
I think you should get some sleep.
Yeah, maybe you're right.
I'll be in the next room if you need anything.
Hey, Jones.
I'm sorry.
For what?
For not remembering you.
Thank you.
Sleep tight.
... is under attack.
Because of your bravery we don't have to
Mr. President.
Have you been here all night?
The polls open in two days, Calvin.
Then it's all over.
You need to get some rest.
Calvin, it's over.
We lost the shooter.
Maybe.
There still might be a way to save face.
And the shooter may have pulled the trigger but he didn't act alone.
He had accomplices.
Accomplices within this administration.
Amos was following that thread from the beginning.
It went nowhere.
Amos isn't competent.
He had the shooter in his custody and he lost him.
What are you proposing?
Let me take over the investigation, Joseph. This is my house.
If someone in the administration is behind this I will find out who it is.
Okay. I'm giving you the authority.
Now I'll need to speak with everyone.
Full access to all files and documents including
senior staff and cabinet members.
Whatever it takes.
We don't have time to play politics.
"Like a deer caught in the headlights..."
I heard his voice but I couldn't put a face to it.
And there was a pin on his lapel.
Had an American flag.
Something a politician might wear. I don't know.
So he could have been a public official.
Possibly someone of high rank.
I know you're frustrated but we can't stop now.
These men are traitors.
T ake a look at this.
Fresh search turned this up.
Significant activity from a decommissioned military facility
in Northern Montana.
It's off the books.
No mention a re-commission in any of the armed forces records.
Jack McCall. Former Colonel.
He served Rowland in lraq.
He was discharged after the Haditha incident.
Rowland to carry out the assassination.
McCall to oversee the paramilitary unit.
These are the foot soldiers of the conspiracy.
They carried out the recent attacks.
Deploying men from overseas.
But now they've moved on to American soil they're mobilizing.
For what?
Stage one was the assassination.
Stage two the terror attacks.
We believe stage three will be a major strike
on a domestic target timed to coincide with the upcoming elections.
Well, you're the NSA. Alert the military.
You don't understand.
These people are the military.
There's no way someone like McCall could operate
Iike this under the radar without help from higher up.
How high?
It's possible the Secretary of Defence is involved.
If McCall gets word that the location's been compromised
he'll pull out and redeploy.
We've got a small window to gather information
and identify the target.
This is where you come in.
McCall and Rowland were very close.
As far as McCall is concerned Rowland is still alive.
Another suicide mission.
The polls open in two days.
We've got to identify the target.
No.
Are you serious?
I'm done being Steve Rowland.
You can't just leave.
Watch me.
Son, don't do this.
I want to know my name and I want to know now!
I told you only the man who recruited you knows your identity.
I don't buy it. There's more. You tell me now.
Do you think I'd hesitate sending to your death just
because you're having an identity crisis?
We're at war.
You may not remember it, but you accepted the mission.
You knew the risks.
Why would I have accepted the mission?
Because you had nothing left to live for.
What the hell are you saying to me?
Your name is Ross T anner.
You were a Special Ops agent assigned to central.
You had a family...
Family?
Sarin gas attacks in the Chicago subways.
There were twenty-one victims.
Your wife and daughter were killed.
The man who launched this operation,
he gave you the opportunity to take down the people
who killed your wife and daughter.
Your identity was kept a secret from us to protect you.
It was only after we lost contact with you that we were told all of this.
You could have told me before.
You feel completely off the radar.
You didn't try to make contact.
As far as we knew you were AWOL.
And when you did surface well,
Iet's just say your behaviour didn't inspire confidence.
Sorry.
The man who recruited you, he sent us this.
Your personal affects.
Apparently you gave them to him for safe keeping.
We'll give you a moment.
It's an honor serving with you.
You just have to follow your instincts.
That's what I've been doing.
It's all I have.
Jones,
I don't think I can do this.
Yes, you can.
I know Ross T anner.
I know you can do this.
You don't know what it's like to live this way.
I hate it.
Everybody I meet, everybody, they get killed.
It wasn't always like that.
Well, that's the only way I remember it.
Guards down. I'm going in.
I'm at the extraction point.
Anything happens radio me.
Otherwise we stay silent.
The package is being prepped as we speak.
It should be en route within the hour.
Excellent.
We'll meet at Mr. Winthrow's tomorrow.
The others will be pleased to hear that we're on schedule.
You should be proud Colonel.
You've served our cause well.
Now you know what must be done.
Yes, Sir.
Hello. Steve.
It's good to see you.
You shouldn't have come back.
What happened? Run out of money?
Didn't take the retirement?
You don't know, uh?
They didn't tell you.
The Mongoose and the others tried to kill me.
Obviously, Number 1 had something to do with it.
You remember what you said to me when we started down this road?
Let's not get sentimental okay?
We always knew we were expendable.
No one man was bigger than the cause.
Don't test me. You're expendable too.
What happened to you, Steve?
The election day attack.
I want to know the target.
That's why you're back?
A little near-death experience you lose your spine?
A lot of innocent people could die.
I won't let that happen.
Casualties of war.
A necessary evil.
The only thing people respond to is terror.
You strike enough fear in their hearts they'll let you do anything.
Anything at all to protect them.
Give me the target or you die right now.
I'm already dead.
No. No.
Security breach!
Here at Arlington National Cemetery dignitaries and DC power players are
arriving for the funeral of Nelson Wagstaff,
veteran of the Korean War, respected judge and former Senator.
He was tragically killed in the McCarran T unnel terror attack.
Among those attending today is President Joseph Galbrain,
set to go to the polls tomorrow against Wally Sheridan.
I understand Senator Wagstaff was a personal friend.
On behalf of myself, my family
and the entire administration please accept my deepest sympathies.
Well, thank you, Mr. President.
I admit it has been a trying year.
Unfortunately, the show must go on.
Would you excuse us?
The Sheridan's have a knack for timing.
Sally's death put Wally in the running.
And now the McCarran Airport Tunnel bombing
is going to put him in the White House.
No, you're wrong, Sir.
The American people will vote with their heads not with their hearts.
There.
What?
That guy. Blow him up.
--be proud. Now you know what must be done.
That's him.
That's the one, he was on the video conference. McCall.
What do you have?
He got one. It's Wax.
That makes sense.
Wax has pulled the strings every since Galbrain took office.
There's more.
There's a woman in a bio-hazard suit assembling
some kind of explosive device.
We think it's nuclear.
Nuclear? Have you been able to determine a target?
We know it's somewhere in Maryland, a polling station.
We're still trying to pinpoint which one.
Are you sure?
It was Xlll. I saw him.
All right. So what did he see?
The package.
And whatever he found in McCall's bunker.
The Operation files?
They were all on disc and encrypted.
Then he doesn't know the exact location.
Proceed with the delivery.
The schedule remains the same.
Copy that.
General Carrington. We need to talk.
I just buried a friend, Colonel.
Why the hell was I dismissed from the case?
I don't know.
I find that hard to believe.
You have the president's ear, you didn't know?
That's right. But I'm sure Calvin Wax did.
And President Galbrain didn't ask you for a consult?
That's right.
I suggested that the assassination was a domestic attack.
You told me not to point fingers.
I was close to linking the shooting to the administration
and now I'm pulled off the case.
What are you suggesting?
Who are you covering for?
Pardon me?
Is it someone higher up in the administration
or are you covering for yourself?
You're out of line, Colonel.
You were at your cabin with the shooter before we got there.
You had the personnel file classified.
You lied to me before.
You're lying to me now.
I'm your ally. I'm not your enemy.
I'm your friend.
And I hope to hell you have a lot more because you're going to need them.
You screwed up.
You let the shooter escape.
Get me Agent Standwell.
Ben, wait. Wait. I'm out of line.
But I am struggling to piece this together.
We need to talk.
Lafayette Park, Jackson Memorial.
We'll talk there.
General Carrington?
What's going on?
I have orders to take you into custody.
On what charge?
High treason.
Who authorized this?
I'm not at liberty to say.
That's not necessary.
Step back, Sir.
I don't want to have to arrest you for obstructing justice.
Again, if you're just joining us, an un-named source has told USN News
that the suspect in the Sally Sheridan assassination has escaped from custody.
We're still waiting on confirmation from the White House.
I want you to pull up everything you've can on Colonel Amos.
Service records, tax returns.
I don't care if you have to make it up.
But you find something negative and you get it out there.
You got it.
All right, listen up people.
Colonel Amos was conducting an independent investigation
under the authority of the NSA.
He was assigned to the case by General Carrington,
who has since been arrested and charged with high treason.
At no time... no time did Colonel Amos
have any direct communication with the White House
or with the President.
Is that understood?
Good. Now I want to hear that coming from her.
I told you to hold all my calls.
I understand, but I really think you need to take this one.
It came in on line 1 3.
This will just take a minute.
Put it through and run a trace.
Yes, Sir.
Stand by.
The line's hot.
Go ahead.
Hello?
I know who you are.
I'm coming for you.
Were you able to trace it?
The call came from a payphone in Dupont Circle.
Xlll is here.
Ten blocks away.
Governor Sheridan. Governor Sheridan.
Can you comment on the arrest of General Ben Carrington?
Well, I think it's a travesty.
What started out as an investigation
into my sister's death has turned into a witch hunt.
President Galbrain is so desperate to save face
that he's turning on members of his own administration.
The American people won't stand for such incompetence.
And they will let the president know that at the polls tomorrow.
You wanted to see me in person?
He's here.
Who?
Xl I l. He is here. He called me himself.
What did he say?
He said he's coming for me.
Good. Let him. It'll make it easier.
Look, I am not going to be bait.
I'm afraid you have no choice.
He's on the hunt.
As long as I stay close you stay alive.
Sam, you helped me find where the lndian goes.
Now I'm enlisting your expertise once again.
I need to know where these photos were taken.
Please help me. I don't know who else I can trust.
They had Colonel Amos removed from the assassination probe.
Arrested Carrington.
Now I'm out of a job.
I've been suspended pending the investigation.
They took my key card. Seized my files.
They're insulating themselves.
T aking everyone who can hurt them out of play.
Here I want to show you something.
It's the endgame. The election.
The election?
Killing Sally Sheridan got their man into office.
Now they've got to keep him there.
A nuclear strike on election day.
The whole country will be put into a tailspin.
Wax will have Galbrain declare a state of emergency.
Cancel the elections.
It says here there are over 2,000 polling stations in Maryland.
How are we supposed to know which one they're going to hit?
Wax is the key.
If we can get to him we'll find the location.
We have no access, no surveillance.
How are we supposed to White House Chief of Staff?
Mentioned something to McCall about a meeting tonight.
He didn't say where but he mentioned a name.
Jasper.
Billionaire industrialist, Jasper...
Jasper Winthrow...
--has an obligation--
Jasper Winthrow.
Winthrow is CEO of Standard Electronics.
RMP Telelcom is one of the interests he oversees.
Here's a list of their subsidiary companies.
ABN, Deacon Chemical, Stratus Dynamics.
That's the crown jewel.
Second largest military contractor in the world.
And he obviously has an interest with the country being at war.
Sally Sheridan scaled down our presence in lraq.
Cut billions in the defence fund.
She was bad for business.
What is it?
I've seen that symbol. I was there.
That's where they took me.
Ardent Glass.
It's one of Standard's holdings, Winthrow is on the board.
Where are they based?
Monterey, Mexico.
Recently moved their US manufacturing there.
Press release is dated May 22nd.
Where were they based before?
Main plant was in Petersburg, Virginia.
Thirty minute flight from DC.
That's it. That's where I was.
As governor of lllinois,
Joseph Galbrain voted to cut the Marines by one-fourth.
The Navy fleet by one-half.
He even voted to slash intelligence programs crucial to the war on terror.
His policies left the country vulnerable.
Then on Veterans' Day he finally paid the price...
America lost a great president.
And in this time of crisis who do we have to turn to for leadership?
When it comes to our security, Joseph Galbrain isn't the solution.
He's the problem.
On November 9th vote for a strong and safe America.
Vote for Wally Sheridan.
You got to be kidding me.
You always liked the big ones.
It's 1 60 miles to Petersburg.
We can be there in two hours.
I'm going alone.
No, you're not.
Well, Carrington's in prison. We're all that's left.
We can't risk something happening to both of us. Not now.
It has to be this way. You know that.
Just listen to me --
Xlll was in custody for eight hours before he escaped.
We don't know what he told Amos.
Mr. Winthrow has plants on the inside.
Agent Kohn confirmed Xlll didn't divulge anything.
Agent Kohn is dead. So is Colonel McCall.
Do you see a trend here?
Last night the Montana facility was breached.
It was Xlll. He found his way back to McCall.
XX has possession of the package and is on schedule.
It's too risky. We have to assume that the operation has been compromised.
What are you suggesting, Norman?
We have to stand down. Let the election play out.
It's the only way to insulate ourselves.
We can't. Not now. We're too close.
Besides our men have paid too high a price.
They proved their commitment now we need to prove ours.
Rowland was one of ours too.
What is that supposed to mean?
Don't you know why he's back?
Why he's surfaced after all this time?
We tried to kill him and now he wants his revenge.
He already took out Kohn and McCall. We're next.
Xlll may be a threat, but he's just one man.
We're an army.
Armies fall, Mr. Wax,
if they're vulnerable, no matter what the size.
David vs. Goliath. You remember how that ended?
Your sidearm, please.
Norman...
if you wish to resign I don't believe anyone will stop you.
Now you must renew your allegiance or resign immediately.
You need to remember why we're here. What we're trying to accomplish.
We've all made sacrifices. Some of us more than others.
Haven't we, Mr. Shipley?
This country was born from revolution.
It will be saved by revolution.
That is our cause and it is a noble one.
If you would rather save yourself than save your own country...
well, may God save your soul.
We took a vow, gentlemen. We will succeed or we will die.
A cancer has grown within the very institutions
of our government sworn to protect us.
Our country has been allowed to slide into depravity.
We are weak in the eyes of our enemies.
T omorrow a new chapter in American history begins.
In the place where the father performed the sacred cleansing
we will perform a cleansing of our own.
Yes?
He's here.
Where?
Inside. He's probably watching as we speak.
T ake the others and leave. I'm going to end this.
Everyone.
You should have died that night right here.
But they wouldn't listen.
T ake the plane. When he's conscious grill him again.
When you're done dump the body.
It's a bad idea.
The plane.
Twelve thousand feet. I had you dead to rights.
You still don't get it, do you? Steve Rowland's dead.
He died the night of the assassination.
I was put in to play just to keep you looking.
Lies.
Look at me. Look in my eyes.
You don't forget the eyes of a man you killed.
You killed Steve Rowland.
Who are you then?
All I have is a name --Ross T anner.
You took everything else.
Secretary of Defence Shipley. Are you sure?
Positive. And these are just the ones I remember.
These are some of the most powerful men in the country.
Well, they're about to become more powerful.
What are you thinking?
We need to find that bomb.
But Wax never I D'd the target.
The bomb could be headed anywhere in the state.
No, not anywhere.
He didn't name the target, but hew made a reference to it.
A place where the father...
He said something 'Where the father performed the sacred cleansing',
cleaning or something.
Sounds like a religious reference.
Got a Bible?
Hold on. I think I found something. New Testament Book of John.
Jesus cures the sick with holy water at a sacred pool called Bethesda.
Bethesda, Maryland.
Four hours from DC.
That's got to be it.
The Justice Department has accused you of high treason.
Has anybody told you the grounds for the charges?
Conspiring to kill the President.
They claim they have evidence linking me to Xlll.
The personnel file, the one you classified,
that's it, isn't it?
You know, we have about three minutes
until the guards realize I'm not authorized to be here.
Then you better leave.
Hey, I've seen your visitor's log.
Your power player friends are not exactly lining up to help you.
You need me. I cannot help you unless you tell me the truth.
What do you want to know?
I want to know the real reason you were at that cabin.
And I want to know why you classified that personnel file.
He's not who you think he is.
Xl I l?
The man you saw at the cabin did not kill the president.
We have evidence.
I'm not disputing the evidence.
Then you know that we have a video that shows he shot Sally Sheridan.
You're not listening to me, Colonel.
The man you saw at the cabin,
the man you had in custody did not kill President Sheridan.
I'm sorry, Colonel.
I wish I could help you in this matter.
Perhaps someone in my office can assist you.
Is there anyone in particular I should ask for?
There are five polling stations in Bethesda, Maryland.
I had bomb threats called in to all of them.
No, local law enforcement won't be able to handle that kind of security.
Bomber will slip right by them.
I lost my access. There's not much else we can do.
Yes, there is. I saw her. I know what she looks like.
We don't know where to find her.
Right here, City Hall. There's 1 1,000 voters registered there.
Most in the county.
Central location. Densely populated.
Ideal blast radius for maximum casualties.
What do you want, Colonel Amos?
You can relax, Miss Jones.
I'm not here to arrest you I just want to talk.
Can't help you, Colonel,
I've been suspended pending the investigation.
We both know the real reason you were suspended.
Sir?
I was taken off the case for the same reason.
General Carrington was arrested for the same reason.
They're afraid of what we might find out.
I'm sorry. My lawyer's advised me not to speak to anyone.
We're on the same team.
I know.
Then why do you have a weapon hidden behind your back?
That's not necessary.
What are you doing here? How did you find me?
General Carrington sent me. Suggested I speak to you.
Said I should mention a Mr. T anner.
What else did he say?
He wouldn't be specific.
But he suggested that Xlll didn't kill the president
and I'm inclined to believe him.
And why is that?
The man we captured was questioned extensively.
Despite my best efforts he wouldn't name his co-conspirators.
Now I know why. He doesn't know who they are.
He doesn't know who they are because he didn't kill Sally Sheridan.
You're right about that. I didn't kill the president.
But I know who did.
Who, Mr. Tanner?
You don't get to ask the questions this time.
I am sorry about what happened,
but you would have done the exact same thing
if you were in my shoes and you know it.
You also know that I could have brought the cavalry with me.
I came alone.
You have no idea how high up this goes.
Then tell me.
It's all clear.
Copy that.
And you were the bait?
Yeah. And they bit.
Jasper Winthrow, Ellery Shipley, Calvin Wax,
the Secretary of Defence, the Chief of Staff.
This was not just an assassination it was a palace coup.
President Galbrain, do you think he's involved?
No, not knowingly.
But Calvin Wax was his closest aide.
He has Galbrain's ear.
They just didn't count on Wally Sheridan taking over the Republican nomination.
Suddenly they had an election to win.
My escape led to a political disaster.
The coup failed. Wally Sheridan is going to win the election.
What?
These men infiltrated the highest branches of the government.
They killed the president.
They are never going to leave their fate in the hands of the voters.
The polls open in six hours.
Which is exactly when they're going to strike -- right here.
It's a polling station in Bethesda, Maryland.
They have a dirty bomb.
A nuclear attack on American soil on election day. That is insane.
Not to them. T o them it's insurance.
We have to evacuate that entire county.
I need to talk to Langley in FEMA.
No. No. The conspirators find out
that something's wrong they will divert the bomb.
They can set it off anywhere.
Right now we know where the bomb is headed.
We can go there, find it.
It's the only chance we got to stop them.
What can I do?
You still have your White House clearance?
For now.
Okay. You get close to Wax. Keep your eye on him.
He's the one calling the shots.
We're overlooking one thing. Calvin Wax is senior staff.
As long as he's inside the White House he's untouchable.
Yes. But he will leave eventually. And when he does...
A lot of attention was paid to this DC area voting station
where both candidates appeared this morning to cast their ballots.
Early exit polls show Wally Sheridan
has taken the lead in both Virginia and Florida.
Two battleground states that could determine the outcome of the election.
The cellular customer you are trying to reach is unable to take your call.
Nothing on my end.
Place is looked down.
She's going to have to come in through the front door.
Could I get you to step over here please?
Arms and legs apart.
Go ahead.
Can you cover for me?
Yeah, no problem.
I got her. She's in the lobby.
I'm on my way.
I'm approaching now.
Sir, this area is off limits.
He's fainted. Get help.
What happened here?
I don't know. He just fainted.
Who did this?
He went that way.
I've a man down. Suspect is in the east wing.
All units respond.
We've been made.
Down there.
Code 6. I repeat. Code 6.
We are hearing now that the State of lowa
will go to Republican candidate Wally Sheridan.
With nearly 80% of precincts reporting, Republican candidate,
Wally Sheridan, appears to hold an insurmountable lead.
That package should have been delivered by now.
What the hell is going on?
I don't know. The courier was supposed to call if there were any delays.
Now she's unreachable.
She's not the only one.
I've been trying to reach the Mongoose all day.
It's Xlll.
Less than four hours until polls close.
And while it's still too early to declare an official winner
it looks as though Wally Sheridan is going to hold on to Utah and Nevada.
And thus secure the 270 electoral votes needed to claim the presidency.
It's over. Galbrain's going to lose the election.
Either way Calvin Wax is out of a job.
Colonel Amos. I'm glad you came.
It's good to see you again, Sir.
Likewise. I'm sorry about the way things turned out.
I hope there are no hard feelings.
Of course not, Mr. President.
I think it's time you showed it to me.
Sorry, Sir. Showed you what?
The concession speech, Calvin.
You fought hard, Sir. You deserved this election.
No. I let Sheridan put me on the defensive.
The American people will tolerate a lot of things from their president;
hypocrisy, deception even outright lies.
But the one thing they won't tolerate
is weakness.
Well, you know, if you'll excuse me, Sir,
I'd like to attend to a personal matter.
Of course. Then try to get some sleep.
Calvin, it's been a real privilege serving with you.
The feeling is mutual, Sir.
Call my driver. And forward all calls to the house line.
I'm in the White House. Wax is leaving.
He bolted when Galbrain told him he was going to concede the election.
Where to?
Home.
The cellular customer you are trying to reach is unable to take your call.
Don't move.
You're persistent, Rowland.
You're very persistent I will give you that.
Steve Rowland's dead.
He died from his wounds on the day of the assassination.
So who are you, his twin brother?
Major Ross T anner.
General Carrington enlisted me for an undercover assignment.
You killed a president and dozens of innocent people.
It's my job to find out why. Hey! You just lost an election.
Do you want to lose a hand on the same day?
You know, all this time,
and you still haven't figured it out have you?
You don't know anything.
I know this. It's over.
Oh, no. It's only the beginning.
The bombings, the election that's just a preamble.
It's a new world order, Agent Tanner.
America is weak but it will soon be restored to its proper stature.
My only regret is that I won't be around to see it happen.
Hey!
After thorough examination of the evidence our investigators
have linked the attempted strike on Bethesda
to a paramilitary organization based in the United States.
It is through this covert unit that former Secretary of Defence,
Ellery Shipley, recruited disenfranchised American soldiers
to carry out the handy work of his fellow conspirators.
The plot was set in motion with the assassination of my sister,
former President Sally Sheridan.
And were it not for the heroic efforts of Federal law enforcement
it would have culminated in a nuclear strike on American soil.
Ladies and gentlemen, this plot was nothing short of a coup.
A conspiracy aimed at destabilizing the country
and undermining the democratic process.
The conspirators themselves are some of the most powerful people in America.
Men like former Secretary of Defence, Ellery Shipley,
men like CEO of Standard Electronics, Jasper Winthrow.
But I assure you they are not Americans. They are traitors.
These men killed my sister to put Joseph Galbrain in office
and gain effective control of the presidency.
Then, when it appeared they were about to lose their power,
they attempted to sabotage the election
by doing something even more abhorrent -
sacrificing the lives of their fellow Americans.
Now in the light of these findings
I have asked President Galbrain to resign the presidency.
He has agreed and has promised his full cooperation with our investigation.
The Speaker of the House will assume full executive powers
until my inauguration.
But, be assured,
all of the men responsible for this dark chapter
in American history have been caught or killed.
Including the man responsible for the assassination of my sister.
Homeland Security has confirmed
that they have identified the body and that it is,
in fact, Steve Rowland -- the suspected assassin known as Xl I l.
Apparently I'm looking at a ghost.
So what are you going to do after your surgery?
Start looking.
For what?
My answers.
Some things aren't worth going back to.
Losing your memory, that could be a blessing.
A fresh start.
I'm tired of running, Sir.
He's got a hard head.
Amen for that.
What's going on here?
Someone wanted to have a word with you before you left.
I'm sorry. I know you're not him, but it's still difficult.
If we'd met a few days ago I would have killed you myself.
Now I would feel honored just to shake your hand.
It's rare that a single individual has
such a profound affect on the course of history.
If it weren't for you thousands would have died.
Our government would have fallen and two centuries of American democracy
would have come undone.
Of course, the American people will never know the sacrifices
you've made for your country.
But, on their behalf, I would like to thank you.
Thank you, Sir.
The runway's been cleared. We need to board.
God speed, Mr. T anner.
It was an honor to serve you, Sir.
The honor was all mine.
This got this from the plastic surgeon.
Okay, the moment of truth.
Let's see what we got.
Says here, the first step will be to lower the brow line.
For that the dermis is detached and the orbital bone filed down.
Once that is healed we can proceed to re-sculpting your nose and chin.
Great.
Excuse me.
Yeah?
Hey, it's me.
Hey, Sam.
Hi. So are you still going by Xlll or do you have a proper name now?
It's Ross actually.
That's original.
So did you get my package?
Yeah, I'm looking at the photos right now.
Okay, skyline is Chicago. Looks like one of the major parks.
I can download some maps and try to match the topography.
That would be great. Thanks.
So who is the lady?
Just someone I need to find.
Well, I don't know if these are going to help you find her.
Why's that?
Because the shots were manipulated.
The shadow below the nose does not match the position of the sun.
Plus the pixilation is off.
Hold on. What are you saying to me?
I'm saying the lady and her kid were never at that park with a guy.
Someone digitally inserted them into the shots.
Hey, you there?
I'm going to have to call you back.
What's wrong?
The photographs you and Carrington gave me.
They were fakes.
What?
Digitally manipulated. You didn't know that?
No. What are you talking about?
Why did you two lie to me again?
We didn't lie.
You told me I was Ross T anner.
You gave me photographs of my dead wife and my dead daughter.
Because that is what I was told.
By who?
The man who recruited you.
Well, then who's the man? What's his name?
I don't know his name.
Then get Carrington on the phone. I want to know.
You could ask Carrington but he'll tell you the old man
could only be reached with double blind contacts
and shadow intermediaries for everyone's security.
Plausible deniability.
Yeah.
Something's not right here and it's not just the photos.
It's everything. The way this conspiracy was exposed.
It was way too easy, way too convenient.
No. It's over. We took them down.
You don't know anything.
Don't move. It's over.
No, no, it's only the beginning.
Before Wax killed himself he said the elections
and the bombings they were just the beginning.
Something else is going on here and we're just not seeing it.
As president my first priority will be to keep this country safe.
So let this serve as a warning for those wish to do harm to our nation.
America will be strong.
We will no longer stand idle waiting to be attacked,
Iike a deer caught in the headlights.
Like a deer caught in the headlights.
Who did you talk to? What do they know?
America is under attack.
Because of your bravery
we don't have to live in fear anymore
Iike a deer caught in the headlights.
Our grief has turned to anger and our anger to resolution.
The cowards who committed these treacherous crimes have been defeated.
But the threat they posed still lingers.
It lingers...
And may God bless the United States of America.
It lingers in the oppressive policies of foreign regimes.
It lingers in zealotry and fundamentalists
who would spill blood in the name of religion.
What are you thinking?
Especially it lingers in the hearts of those who hate America.
Hate us for our freedoms. For our very way of life which allows...
Wax wasn't Number 1. He was.
...people who will stop at nothing to destroy us.
But we know that they can never win.
We know this because we are guided by a power larger than ourselves.
Wally Sheridan?
That's impossible.
They killed Sally Sheridan knowing
it would put Galbrain into the White House.
The bomb wasn't supposed to keep him in power.
It was supposed to wipe out the entire US government.
With Wax calling the shots,
pulling the strings Galgrain never stood a chance for re-election.
If they knew Wally would win why go through with a dirty bomb?
'Cause they wanted more than the presidency.
They wanted totalitarian control.
Fascism. They needed a crisis severe
enough that the American public would accept.
Oh, my God. So the only thing standing between democracy
and dictatorship would be the president.
May God bless us all.
And may God bless the United States of America.
We're going back.
