American Assassin Page #6

Synopsis: Twenty three-year-old Mitch lost his parents to a tragic car accident at the age of fourteen, and his girlfriend to a terrorist attack just as they were engaged. Seeking revenge, he is enlisted by CIA Deputy Director Irene Kennedy as a black ops recruit. Kennedy then assigns Cold War veteran Stan Hurley to train Mitch. Together they will later on investigate a wave of apparently random attacks on military and civilian targets. The discovery of a pattern in the violence leads them to a joint mission with a lethal Turkish agent to stop a mysterious operative intent on starting a world war in the Middle East.

Don't get used to it, son.

Hurley...

Looks like we're gonna

be all right up here.

I think.

Damage control

central. Report.

Pressure is normalizing.

We have multiple hull breaches.

Radiologicals, Eisenhower?

Low... Low levels.

Initiating countermeasure

wash-down.

Commander, any casualties?

The Flynn took some

serious damage.

The casualty reports

aren't in yet,

but if it had gone off above the waterline,

I don't think we'd be here.

Eisenhower,

my prayers are with you all.

Hurley, is Rapp there?

Hold on a minute.

Yeah, go ahead.

You okay, Mitch?

Oh, yeah. I'm fantastic.

You saved a lot of lives today.

Took some losses, too.

What the hell are

you looking at?

You look like a mummy.

Yeah.

Well...

A mummy doesn't have

to write up reports.

Dictate them. You

should be good at that.

Iranian official,

General Rostami,

the leader of the minority

opposition in Tehran,

claims that he has proof

that a secret group

of assassins within

America's CIA

are responsible for last

week's nuclear event.

With the Iranian

presidential election

just two weeks away,

General Rostami continues

to rise in popularity.

They say General Rostami is

gonna be the next

President of Iran.

Yeah.

He didn't even have to blow

up Israel to get there.

He's gonna be a major

pain in the ass, too.

Where's Rapp? I

can't reach him.

How the hell do I

know where Rapp is?

I'm a mummy in a hospital.

Rostami has full support

for restarting.

Iran's nuclear program.
