Clear and Present Danger Page #4

Mr President, can we speak with

FBI Director Jacobs about this?

- Jacobs is not available.

- Someone will die for this.

He's personally involved in the

investigation and is pretty busy.

This avenue has to be avoided.

They'll be coming from the airport.

Up Avenida Aeropuerto El Dorado

all the way to Gran America.

Santa Fe's our spot. As much as

I'd love to be here for this,

I have to take care of business in

Washington, tying up loose ends.

Hello?

Don't hang up, don't hang up.

- Hello?

- The machine is still on, Moira.

- Emil, good to see you.

- Andy, good to see you.

- Agent Murray, Ambassador Ferris.

- Hi, good to see you.

- This will bring you up to date.

- Alright, let's go.

- How's the food?

- It's like Mexican food.

- You hate Mexican food.

- I hate Mexican food.

- Hi.

- Hello.

All my secretary knows about America

is what she reads inPeoplemagazine.

- How's the place?

- Come inside and find out.

It's awful.

Isn't it?

So I take it you shouldn't

drink the water?

They put water in your room,

but I'd stick to the bottled stuff.

So what do you brush your teeth with?

You use the bottled water, or you'll

be in the can all yourtime here.

The hold-up

was a government connection?

Yeah, that's the connection.

Back up! Back up!

- Step on it!

- Stay down. Stay down.

Damn it! Back up!

- Let's go! Let's go!

- Take it easy, Andy.

Got to keep moving. Go, Jack!

Incoming!

Dan!

Dan! Dan!

We can't stay here!

The car! Is it running?

It's running!

The smoke will give us cover.

It's our only chance. I got him.

Make for the driver's side.

Ready? Go!

- Get in!

- Go! Go!

Housekeeping.

Oh, excuse me, ma'am.

- Do you have a call for Dr Ryan?

- Just a moment.

...in Bogota today.

Ten members of the escort party

were also killed and eight wounded.

Five of the dead

were security personnel...

- Cathy?

- Don't tell me you're in this.

Right in the middle of it.

Honey, Dan was killed.

Dan Murray.

He was ten feet away.

There was nothing I could do.

- I'm coming home.

- Thank God.

I love you.

- Wasn't his going there a secret?

- It was.

- Then I don't get it. What happened?

- Nobody knows.

- How stupid are these people?

- They believe they can do anything.

You know what? They're wrong.

- Yes, sir.

- They're wrong.

They've directly challenged the

sovereign power of the United States.

No more sending messages.

He wants them to get the message

whether the phone rings or not.

- Those are his words?

- Do they sound like his words?

He can't be clear when clarity

is what he wants to avoid.

What he means is the gloves come off.

I'm telling you,

I had nothing to do with it.

I didn't. I wish I had done it,

they deserved it. But it wasn't me.

Who did then?

You know, you have no answers.

Is this the way it was with Castro?

No answers?

- You don't want to hear an answer.

- Yes, I do.

Itwas done to look like you did it.

By one of the others.

As you suspected. It's always

a friend who hates you most.

Give me the phone.

- Rojas.

- Did you do this thing?

Did I do this thing? Are you calling

to ask me if I did this thing?

You don't consult with us.

You put us in danger.

And now you want me

to believe it wasn't you?

It wasn't, Enrique.

The Americans will retaliate

against all of us.

I swear I had

nothing to do with it.

Why do you expect me

to listen to you when you lie?

- Goodbye, Ernesto.

- No, no, no!

Don't hang up.

We must have a meeting.

- When?

- As soon as possible.

Tomorrow night. I am not

telling you, I am asking you!

May we meet tomorrow night?

- Tomorrow afternoon.

- Thank you.

- He's scared.

- He should be.

I don't know what you said to him,

but it was right.

Strange, don't you think?

Jacobs and his secretary

getting killed on the same day.

He wasn't his secretary. He was

a member of the security detail.

Who?

- I don't remember his name.

- I'm talking about Moira.

What?

Moira, remember?

Jacobs's secretary.

I know Moira, honey.

What are you talking about?

- She said he was a Latin Jack Ryan.

- He was.

- That's what she called him.

- The point is, he's Latin.

Which connects her death and Jacobs's

beyond the fact

that they worked together.

You saw somebody you think

is responsible for both killings?

- Yes.

- Yes.

She did.

She did.

I saw him from a distance.

From behind.

- Medium height, medium build, etc?

- Mind if I look at these?

Is that what the people

from the cabin said?

Yeah.

Did you check out

these calls to Venezuela?

Disconnected.

- So you have no leads?

- I have a lot.

Afictitious name on a register. A

stolen phoned-in credit card number.

Two eyewitnesses, one of whom

saw a guy but really didn't see him.

Excuse me,

could you play that again?

Yes, sir.

The machine is still on, Moira.

You have a recording

of the killer's voice.

Maybe.

Jack. I think we've got something.

This is from the answering machine.

And this was recorded yesterday.

I'll play it for you.

The machine is still on, Moira.

And...

He's scared. I don't know what

you said to him, but it was right.

Run a match on that.

He's Cuban.

35 to 45.

Educated in the United States.

Eastern United States.

- It's the same voice.

- You're sure?

- Yeah.

- How sure?

90 percent.

- I need a name.

- Could be hundreds of thousands...

I know. I need a name,

and I need it quick.

300 is topside.

Target is set.

- Hector!

- Enrique!

Good to see you!

- It was not easy for us.

- How are you?

Rojas, Diaz...

What the hell is this?

What the hell is this?

My new toy. Like it?

You see this?

That's your new target,

unless it's not big enough.

Variable, this is Easy Rhino.

Do you copy? Over.

Loud and clear, Easy Rhino.

- Do we have a gig?

- That's a Rog.

Target is lit.

Start the music.

Into attack.

Pickle's hot. Target is acquired

and lit. Coming down.

Fernandez, Vega...

Looks like a full house.

Damn it!

Why doesn't he fix this road?

Sh*t! Thought we had everybody.

Keep the target painted.

Sir?

Boom.

Mother of God!

Circular error probability zero.

Impact with high-order detonation.

Have a nice day.

The man's completely out of control.

He has no...

His name is Cortez, Felix Cortez.

A colonel

in Cuba's intelligence service

until a few years ago. Disappeared.

Turned up working for the Macheteros,

a terrorist group in Puerto Rico.

Disappeared again.

Yesterday, we taped him

talking to a Cali cartel subject.

I'll fax what I have on him.

If he shows, pick him up, OK?

- You know I can't do that.

- I mean the police, the Colombians.

The Colombian police

do not pick up members of the cartel.

Unless they've got a death wish.

You've been down here.

Wait a minute.

Oh, Jesus!

Jack, something's happened here.

At least 30 people were killed,

including women and children.

The bomb exploded in a car

belongingto a Rojas associate.

- Jack?

- Yeah, are you watching this?

- Did this just happen?

- Just now.
