I spent the night, John.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You should come back tonight.
Yeah, we'll see.
How do we tackle the drug problem, sir?
Well, as you know,
The drug problem has risen in our city
In the last few years.
It coincides with our growing crime rate
And rising unemployment.
As a matter of fact, in the last year,
Unemployment rose 15.3 per cent
To a total of 24.3 per cent.
Many of the people who are working
Can't make enough to stay
above the poverty line.
Now this situation cannot continue.
Sir, do you have a game plan, Mr. Mayor?
I was hoping you'd
have some ideas about that, Bob.
How's Vice Mayor Archer doing?
Well, I regret to say that, um,
She's not doing too well.
But she's a fighter like
the rest of us in this city.
In the meantime, we're
working on several issues
Here at once,
You know, to get the
city back on its feet.
We have to save our
industry to save our jobs.
Building a hope for tomorrow in my view,
You know, is a beginning to
lower the crime rate today.
And what exactly are you going to do
to get us to that future, Mr. Mayor?
Well, for starters, the big three,
investing in fuel cell development,
As well as more efficient
biodiesel technology.
Green is the future.
And we will be in the forefront
Of the green technology movement.
Yeah, we've all heard
the grand plan before.
When does actual work begin?
The state and the city
Have received a combined
1.3 billion dollars
In incentive grants from the federal
government to get the ball rolling.
So we hope to be making
some announcements
About job creation very soon.
Can you tell us what else
is on the agenda, sir?
Well, we're looking at
new and innovative ways
To provide affordable public
housing in the inner city.
The only problem is Chief Durant
sometimes brings the wrong element in.
And with it there are past rap
sheets, drugs, illegal weapons.
So, Mr. Mayor, what
is the city going to do
About the crime rate?
Bob, good question.
People turn to drugs to get away
from a life that offers them no hope.
Can we really blame them for
a government I'm included...
That has failed them? Well...
It seems like the drug problem
Is a great place to start.
We beef up Ur task force,
Start offering jobs and education
And training in law enforcement.
I believe progress will be made.
Mr. Mayor!
Thank you all very much.
That's it for this afternoon.
Our mayor needs to get back
to work saving our city.
The primaries are coming up and I want
you to get the word out about voting.
Vote, vote, vote for me.
Okay? Thank you for
coming today.
How'd I do?
Perfect as usual, sir.
A little more conviction but
otherwise, a perfect sale.
That bad, huh?
You did fine, sir. Really.
You're a lousy liar.
But I'll buy you lunch anyway.
You're late.
Sorry, sir. There were two
accidents on the way over
And I tried to... Stop.
Stand at attention.
You get a pass this time.
Don't let it happen again.
No, sir. Yes, sir.
Maybe I... for... wh...
The mayor is in his office
working late tonight.
Keep your eye on him,
but don't bother the guy.
Yes, sir. Mmm?
So this is the war room.
It's where you spend most of your time.
Over here, it's where
you watch everything from.
Now, aside from punks
wanting to spray-paint a wall
Or one of the bums wanting
to use the bathroom,
It's pretty quiet around
here most of the time.
Over here...
Here? I'm sorry, Captain.
Now this is for emergencies only.
Do you know how to handle a weapon?
Yes, sir.
I've been an owner since I was ten.
S... sir.
Since you were ten.
Great. Follow me.
The code is one-zero
One-zero.
That sets the alarm
with a one minute delay.
Now, once I'm gone, the only
people left in this building
Are you and the mayor.
Anyone tries to get in,
This baby's going to
let you know about it.
Now, take a walk around the building,
Know the layout,
Make yourself comfortable.
I'll be back first thing in the morning.
Try not to burn the place down.
Breaker nine,
breaker nine, we got...
Ooh, damn it.
Great.
Oh, sh*t.
What?
No, damn it.
One, zero, one, zero.
Come on, come on.
One, zero, one, zero.
Come on, butterfingers.
Yes, yes.
No, no, no.
What am I doing?
Hold it right there!
Oh. I'm sorry, Mr. Mayor, sir.
You might want to lower that thing
Before someone gets hurt.
Oh, yeah. Sorry.
It's not even loaded.
Then what good is it?
Who are you?
I'm the new night watchman.
Oh.
What was with the alarm?
I... I don't know, sir.
Must be the damn storm, huh?
Well, I might as well call it a night.
It's going to be hours
before they can restore power.
What is it?
How come you never ask
for any of the other girls?
Mm. Creature of habit. I guess.
And I like you.
Oh, really.
Don't make me say it twice.
Mmm.
Mr. Tough Guy.
I never said I was tough.
Mmm.
Well, you look pretty tough to me.
Mmm.
Well, I'll take your word for it.
Mmm.
I got to go.
Oh.
Why don't you stay?
Okay.
But only until you fall asleep.
Son of a b*tch.
City Hall Security.
Finally, old enough to drink.
Cheers.
No, really?
You guys remembered? Aw, you're sweet.
You guys are sweet.
I don't care what pictures
you took last night.
No Facebook postings, okay?
This just in.
Mayor Stanwood has been shot
In an apparent assassination
attempt at City Hall.
Preliminary reports indicate
that the wounds were fatal.
We will bring you further details
As they continue to come in.
Hi. Agent Driver.
Thanks.
Hey. Chief wants to see you.
Any idea what it's about?
Nah. He didn't say. Just said "now. "
This type of hit does
not happen in our city.
This never happened on my watch.
What do you think?
Political? Mob-related?
I know the mayor was shot, sir.
Hopefully once I start investigating,
I'll be able to give you more details.
What do you think? What's going on?
DC's sending someone
in with you on this.
I work with Pearson.
What happened to him?
Not this time, John.
Here you go.
Yeah.
Oh, hold the elevator.
Yeah.
Thanks. Mm-hm.
Must be pretty important.
I'm just checking messages.
Yeah.
Reception in here is horrible.
Walls are too thick.
New here?
Um, temporarily.
I'm on special assignment from D.C. Mm.
Only special assignment
worth anything in this town
Has to do with the death of the mayor.
I can't really discuss...
Discuss the case, yeah. I get it.
I'm...
I'm Jude Brown, by the way.
Mila Driver. Nice to meet you.
You, too.
I'll see you around.
Uh...
Harvey's at the end of the hall.
Oh, thanks.
Agent Driver. Have a seat.
Good morning, gentlemen.
This is Special
Agent, John Archer.
You and Agent Archer
will be working together.
Any particular
reason you paired me
With someone from DC and not Pearson?
Agent Driver is one of
DC's finest analysts.
I'm sure she'll be an asset to the team.
Right.
You're driving.
He grows on you.
I don't plan on being here long
enough for that to happen, sir.
So what made you want to
get involved with the Bureau?
