Close range?
It'd never work. It's rigged.
Scanned every 35 seconds.
I was thinking of a claymore on the roof...
No!
The roof is wired, too.
Sensors every 15 feet.
Okay. Now you can move.
- It's me. You don't have to treat me like...
- Slow!
Come on, let's get the f*** out of here.
Move! Slow.
You even look at me funny,
you're in the river, Toscani.
I figured you'd do your recon
from this building.
- You're looking fit.
- I'm getting a bit of a tire.
- Is that your own tailor?
- Hong Kong.
- You've come a long way.
- Yeah.
Just walk.
I don't believe you.
What's so hard to believe?
I want to help you, you dumb guinea.
I've been trying to talk
some sense into you.
You're still "Fox the Fixer."
If I wanted to cap you,
I'd save myself all this damn chitchat.
I'd make big points for myself
Sh*t, I'd be White House material.
Is that what Zagon is,
one of your basement boys?
Zagon's a rancher. 4,000 acres
in Costa Rica. Beautiful place.
Beautiful place, huh? Was that bought
with opium money from the triangle?
And a ton of coke a week
from other places.
Which he funnels here through Salvano.
The company getting it's cut, of course.
Legal tender.
So war is still the greatest business, huh?
These guys have started and financed
every war we've ever fought.
Nobody would believe me if I told them
the bankers were the CIA.
Come on, Toscani, don't preach to me.
So the senator couldn't be bought,
could he?
He was gonna expose your plans to invade
Nicaragua with your f***ing coke money.
So the Agency clears Zagon
to cap his ass, right?
Just keep walking, a**hole.
So some poor, innocent priest finds out.
He comes here.
But you can't kill the senator
until you know if the "padre" has talked.
So Zagon comes in, "Tell me," with his
little doctor bag. Only by then, I'm in on it.
And you f***ing know
I'm gonna recognize his handiwork.
If your name would've been Joe Smith,
I never would've caught it.
But how many Nicola Toscanis are there?
Tell me something, old buddy.
Do we kill our own senators now?
Why not? The Romans did.
- Are we the f***ing Romans?
- We're an empire, too.
You don't believe that sh*t for a minute.
Just walk. Go!
Hold it, Nico.
- Here's your key, sir.
- My buddy will drive.
You know something?
In Europe, they're trying some 80-year-old
camp guard for Nazi war crimes.
All around our country,
they got guys on Death Row...
...for murdering one, two, three guys.
And they probably deserve
what they're gonna get.
But you and I...
...we know people
that are personally responsible...
...for the death
of 50,000 non-military personnel.
Librarians, teachers, doctors,
women, children, all dead.
We've wiped out entire cultures.
And for what?
Not one CIA agent has ever been tried,
much less accused, of any crimes.
You guys think you're above the law,
but you ain't above mine.
Nico, we don't have time for this.
Get in the goddamn car.
I've been waiting for the day
I'd catch up with this motherf***er.
Salvano and his scumbag dealer.
What a team we got here.
I told you, you'd never be the man.
Nelson, we've been looking for you.
I see that you...
...found our friend.
Thanks, Fox.
I didn't bring him. I swear it.
You two must have had a lot to talk about.
Reminiscing about the good old days?
Stay still!
Just f***ing don't move.
Nelson, bring our friend in.
Come on, be a good boy.
Dive, Nico!
Get that motherf***er!
Move it!
Get him!
Stop the car, you f***!
Stop the car, you piece of sh*t!
Stop it!
Fox's car!
He's on the ramp now.
He's coming out the Wabash entrance.
Get there, Deep Throat.
Roger, Spike Leader. We read you.
Get out of the car!
I want him alive.
He's clean.
Bring him over.
Let's go!
We're out of here.
Abandon the vehicles and get out of here.
Tommy, hurry up! Get in.
We're out of here.
Now, our honored guest,
Senator Ernest Harrison.
I hope this don't take too long
'cause I'm getting hungry.
This is bullshit. We've got work to do.
All work and no play
makes Jack a dull boy.
We've got an hour before we say good-bye
to the honorable senator.
You know, you've got to learn
to take time to...
...smell the roses.
How are you gonna do him?
Do him in the motorcade...
...or pass him through a hotel kitchen?
Put his face up.
Hold it up.
Here you go, Toscani."Dr. Feelgood."
I've used these little beauties many times
to extract information.
For the first time in my life...
...I'm gonna do it just for the fun.
Get the f*** away from me!
Let him go.
Toscani, my sleeping beauty...
...you should've killed me
when you had the chance.
You're too f***ing dumb, a**hole.
Jake! Look out!
Say something. Nico?
Quick! Call an ambulance!
Agent Neeley, FBI. We've got a problem,
but we don't know what it is, yet.
Please, Senator Harrison, this way.
We are standing in front of the home
of Police Sergeant Nico Toscani.
Behind me, the entourage
of Senator Harrison is arriving.
Lots of security here. We have police
officers on the scene and federal agents.
Of course, there is concern
of a possible assassination attempt.
That's why you've got
so many law enforcement officers here.
- This is Senator Harrison. Nico Toscani.
- How do you do?
Please, don't get up.
Detective Toscani...
...I just felt compelled to come
and thank you personally...
...and to assure you that we'll use
every resource available...
...to bring these men to justice...
...and to ensure that this type of behavior
will never be tolerated again.
That would be nice.
Let me introduce Roberta Alspaugh
of the Fifth Circuit Court.
How do you do, ma'am?
Are you sure you're well enough?
I'm ready to talk if you're ready to listen.
All right.
- Miss Jackson, I'll leave you now.
- Senator, thank you.
- We'll be leaving for Washington.
- Hey buddy, we'll be back later.
Mr. Toscani...
...can you tell us about
your military background?
In 1973, I worked for
a special operations group...
...in Vietnam and Cambodia.
I was involved with gathering intelligence.
All of the members of this team
were doctors recruited by the CIA...
...and trained at a secret camp
in Langley, Virginia.
Gentlemen, whenever you have a group
of individuals...
... who are beyond any investigation...
... who can manipulate the press,
judges, members of our Congress...
... you'll have within our government
those who are above the law.
