Brooklyn Tide Page #4

---

(dark, gloomy music)

- Oh.

- Sh, sh, you're okay,

just breathe, breathe.

You're alright.

I'm gonna take this, okay?

We made a great team,

I have to do this.

(labored breathing)

- Sit down, unless you

wanna die like your boss.

You were injected with

potassium cyanide.

When it reaches your

heart, you'll die.

I have the antidote.

Try not to scream.

There's a lot more goin'

on here than meets the eye.

- Ya think.

- Be quiet and listen, or

you'll give yourself a stroke.

We've been monitoring Brooklyn

Tide for some time now

because we thought they'd

turn someone inside the FBI.

Now we know.

- That's how they knew to--

- Be quiet, just be quiet.

Agent Vera showed her colors

and now the drive is gone.

Again.

It's a crime for me

to even tell you this,

but the drive contains a virus

that can destroy a

nuclear facility.

We developed it to destroy

the Iranian nuclear program

but it can penetrate and destroy

any military or civilian

reactor in the world.

Brooklyn Tide has grown

increasingly radical

over the last two years.

There was a large

influx of money,

and a change in leadership.

And the money is coming

directly from the cartels.

- Mexico.

- Specifically the Gulf cartel.

For the past few

years the Gulf cartel

has been beaten up badly

by their west coast rivals.

The San Onofre

reactor in California

sits directly on the border.

- If there was incident we'd--

- We'd have to evacuate San

Diego and close the border.

The western cartel would

lose its pipeline for weeks,

maybe months.

- Who'd make a play like that?

- Someone familiar

with our organizations,

someone who

understands reactors.

Someone who wants revenge,

even at the risk of

millions of lives.

- He's here.

- We have the park locked

down as best we can.

NYPD is taking up positions but

by tomorrow this thing

could be troubling down.

- I know where she

is, I can get it back.

- Agent Corbin,

make sure you do.

This could be our last chance.

- Well this is a nice surprise.

- [Corbin] It's a surprise,

I don't know if

I'd call it nice.

- You're alive.

That was a condition,

deal breaker.

- [Corbin] Generous to the last.

- Where are you,

still on the street?

- [Corbin] Waiting

in an ambulance.

- No hard feelings, right.

- [Corbin] Of course

not, better man won.

You look nice in a dress.

- How are you--

- [Corbin] No need

for that, not here.

- How are you--

- [Corbin] Still walking?

Maybe our mutual friend isn't

as clever as he thinks he is.

Where'd you meet him?

- Online.

- [Corbin] He approached you?

- I used to read his posts on

the law enforcement forums,

we got to chatting.

- [Corbin] When?

- Since I was 14.

You know you don't

sound so good.

- [Corbin] It's

been a rough day.

- Feel like you've

been hit by a truck?

- [Corbin] Not physically.

When someone you trust--

- You should ask our friend,

he knows all about that.

- [Corbin] And so will you.

- What is that suppose to mean?

- [Corbin] That he's playing

you, like everyone else.

You're just another

pawn to be cast aside

when you've played your part.

- Is this where you try

to get inside my head?

It took Clay five years,

you have 30 seconds.

- [Corbin] Lying takes time,

truth kicks you

right in the teeth.

- What truth would

that be exactly.

- [Corbin] That what you're

doing is wrong, and you know it.

- Nuclear power is everything

that's wrong with this world.

Our fear has become a commodity

and those in power

profit from it.

- [Corbin] Your

dad tell you that?

- My father has nothing

to do with this.

- [Corbin] I think he has

everything to do with it.

- He gave 20 years of his life

protecting our

so-called leaders.

And a few men in his detail

go to a brothel in Colombia

where it's legal, and they

throw him under the f***ing bus.

No pension, stripped

of his decorations.

He risked his life for them

and they f***ing buried him.

- [Corbin] Alright,

the system is flawed.

So you're gonna attack a

nuclear power plant to prove it.

- No it's more than that,

it's about sending a message.

- [Corbin] No, that's

exactly what it is.

You were hurt by the system

and you wanna hurt it back,

but you'll only be hurting

the people who are part of it.

It's not perfect, but

the alternative is chaos.

- What do you know about hurt?

- [Corbin] I had a friend,

who I was closer to

than my own brother.

He saved my life and I

sent him to prison for it.

But that's my cross,

and I'll carry it.

I don't wanna make kids

sick in California.

- Who said anything

about California?

(breathing heavy)

- San Onofre, that's

where he wants the virus.

- You're lying, we're

gonna put it online,

we're gonna make them

decommission the reactors

because they're vulnerable.

- Where do you think --

- And we're gonna show them

that they're all liars.

- Where do you think all

the money's coming from?

- They have funding.

- The resources

to pull this off.

The cartels gave 'em

10 million dollars

to shut down the

rival's pipeline,

this isn't about

changing anything.

- Are you done?

- It's about drugs,

money, and revenge.

- Are you done?

- I think we both

are, it's over.

- No, it's not.

Get off me you

freak, help, help.

(grunting and groaning)

(tense music)

- Federal agent.

Ah, sh*t.

- Looking for this?

You dropped it in the path.

Like you said, it's

better this way.

- Stay away from me.

- Or what?

It was always

gonna come to this.

Once you start running, it's

only a matter of time, Vera.

- What do you know, you've

lived your whole f***ing life

by the f***ing book.

- It eats you up inside, always

looking over your shoulder,

living in fear.

- So wha'da you gonna

do, you gonna shoot me?

- No, you're gonna make a

full confession to the FBI,

maybe they'll cut you a deal.

You didn't kill

anyone, you're a kid,

a good kid in my opinion.

This doesn't have to be the end.

Everything's gonna be okay.

- It'll never be okay.

- No, no.

Clay.

(crying out)

Clay.

- Ah, ah, wait.

You know if I pull

this knife out

she's as good as dead, right?

- It's not her you

want, she's just a kid.

- With all the times

I've been betrayed,

you'd think I'd be used

to it by now, right.

- You must be very

proud of yourself,

you found a child and

you made her your puppet.

- People says there's

nothin' to do in prison,

I think I found somethin'.

- Tryin' to burn it all down.

You used to be better than that.

- Some people wanna watch

this nation burn, Corbin.

I could give a good

damn about it anymore.

- So everyone can

just go to hell?

- Not everyone Corbin, just you.

- I'm under the Danaka

Bridge, agent down,

repeat agent down.

(mumbling)

Please, stay with me,

stay with me Vera.

Just breathe, breathe, breathe.

- Please don't tell my dad.

- No, no, no, just breathe.

(suspenseful music)

(gunshots)

(gunshot)

Give yourself up Clay.

Half the NYPD's

closin' in on you.

You're shoot on sight.
