on the "most-wanted" list.
Number four? I want to be number one.
The day is young.
What can I do for you?
There was a quantity of C-4 explosive
brought in here four days ago.
Hell, that's gone.
- When?
- Right away.
They scooped that stuff out of here
before it even got tagged.
You know who took it?
CIA.
Let me see the paperwork on it.
You got to sign.
Yeah, I remember that fellow.
Flew special out of Langley. Bomb tech.
Real nice fellow.
- I'll bet.
- Here it is.
Fox.
Nelson Fox.
- Thanks.
- Right.
Now what?
Yes, sir. The agent has been with
the Central American desk since 1984.
Thank you. That's what I wanted to know.
All right, take your shoes off.
Come on, let's go.
So you think I'm a bad cop, Neeley?
You know something? Maybe I am.
But at least I don't have my face
buried up Washington's ass.
Listen, Toscani.
Maybe I've judged you a little harshly.
I think you have.
And you know something?
What I'd like to do,
for the way you've treated me...
...is treat you in a similar fashion.
I'd like you to get up...
...run your ass over there
and jump in the f***ing lake.
If you don't hurry,
I'll empty this gun in your butt.
Move it, Agent Neeley!
Let's go!
Jump, Neeley!
Nico, what are you doing here?
- I need a favor.
- Sure.
- How late are you gonna be here today?
- I'm off at 6:
00.I'll be here.
Don't be too long, lady.
I got a crew coming in.
Thanks. We'll be done in a little while.
We don't have much time.
They're going to tear this goddamn place
down in a matter of hours.
There's no way to access
Covert Operations directly...
...but I got a guy at Princeton.
He has a database bigger than Langley.
How the hell did you get in this mess?
I thought you were finished with the CIA.
Trap door.
We'll wriggle up these two...
...operative dossiers.
Start with my friend, Nelson.
Your friend has had a hell of a career.
Give me the names of every Agency man
involved in this.
Nico, what is going on here?
Here we go.
Five agents from the Central American
desk. All of them, trained assassins.
They've all come to Chicago
in the last week and they're all still here.
They got the whole f***ing
killing team here.
It looks that way.
Thanks.
I owe you one.
- Where are you going?
- I gotta find that priest.
Be careful.
I find this totally incredulous.
You, being a station chief at the CIA,
didn't know what was going on?
Mr. Senator,
I'd like to explain a few things.
Either you perjured yourself earlier,
or you're lying to us now.
Take a few moments
before you answer this.
And remember that you're under oath.
It was agreed this was a valuable asset
and that I had to work out a way...
... they had to work out a way
in which to take over.
And did that include
giving money to the enterprise?
Not insofar as I knew.
- And the colonel never told you?
- No.
Are you saying that this was going
to be a donation for the CIA...
... as far as you were concerned?
We were going to walk away from it.
Hello.
Oh, yes, Sister. Yes.
Sister Mary, right.
No, there will be no problem.
Now just calm down. Right, right.
Now where are you?
Who is it?
Father!
Get her out of here.
This way, Father.
Where did you find this guy?
The nun from the daycare called.
She's with the priest at a place on Damon.
She saw two guys sneaking
around the church and she got scared.
I got papers from that senator's aide.
Everything Harrison has been working on.
It's unbelievable. It's over at my place.
I need you to do me a favor.
Stay out of it. Just stay in the car.
Nico, far be it for me to complain...
...but you got Jax pulling burglaries.
You got me doing God only knows what.
When we hit the joint,
I don't want you celling with me.
Jax, we'll work out something.
Why don't you go over there
and sweet-talk him?
Sure.
If I were you, I would listen
to what this man has to say.
He knows what's best for you.
You wouldn't lie to me would you, Father?
It's a sin.
Look at me!
If you spoke to anyone
about our plans to kill the senator...
...tell me now...
...and I won't have to use this.
This is from confession. I tell no one.
Let's go.
Under no circumstances
are you to come out of this car.
Just stay here, all right?
Take a nice look at it.
I got it just for you.
Do you feel that? Nice?
You like that?
Now you're gonna start feeling
something warm.
Very warm and wonderful.
Think about it.
Warm. I love it!
I enjoy this. I really enjoy the sh*t out
of this thing.
We'll enjoy it together.
You've always been alone.
Now you'll be with me, together!
I want to know who you told.
I told them...
...you make...
...the children see you...
...mutilating their mothers...
...and sometimes...
...you do these things...
...to the children.
Did you tell anybody?
Damn it, tell me now!
Tell me now!
Father, I have had enough of this.Father, I want you to tell me the truth.
Can we kill him?
If you told anyone about our plans
to kill the senator...
...we cannot kill him!
Nothing!
Phase two.
Christ!
- Move it!
- What are you doing? Get out of here.
Jax, get the hell out of here!
Nico!
Jax!
- Go!
- I got him!
Where is he?
Down there!
I got a bona fide emergency here.
What am I supposed to do?
- Shut the f*** up!
- Yes, sir.
Get inside! Come on!
I hear sirens but I don't see any cops.
If they were cops,
they'd show me their badges, a**hole.
A bona fide gunfight, a**hole!
Get up front!
- Shut up! Be quiet!
- What the hell am I supposed to do?
Get the car on Track 3 out of the way.
At least, get that out of the way.
They got guns all over the place.
I got a carload of passengers.
Damn it! Call Nico's uncle
and find out if he's heard from him.
Shut up and save your strength.
I'm okay. I'm okay.
- Where are we going?
- Cubicle D.
I got on my vest.
Where is he?
What do you mean you don't know?
We don't know what happened
to him, Branca.
Yeah, she's gonna be all right.
You hear anything, you let me know.
Capisci?
It's Nico.
Jesus Christ.
The motherfuckers got Jax.
Lukich called. She's not dead.
She's gonna make it.
She was wearing a vest.
This was picked up with your mail
this morning.
They're letting you know
if you don't back off...
...they're gonna get to your family.
- You've got to do it, Nico.
- Tell him, Sara.
You know you have to.
Listen to her, Nicola.
This is your family.
Ever notice how clean babies smell, like
nothing in the world has touched them?
Mom, take him upstairs, will you?
Come, Giuliano, we'll go upstairs.
Do you know why I love you?
What it is about you
that I've always loved?
It's pride.
But, Nico, that pride may kill all of us.
Swallow your pride.
Choke on it, if you have to.
- Lay it down, please.
- You know something?
There's nothing in this world
that I wouldn't do for my family.
Nobody will harm us.
I don't want you to worry. Okay?
Not even you can hit him
at this range, Nico.
That wasn't the plan, Nelson.
