All right. You got an address?

I'm working on it.

Okay, well, work faster.

Look, it's going to take some time.

Look, I really need you

to prioritize this for me.

Hm. Of course.

I think I might have something here.

Howdy, stranger.

What are you doing here?

Shouldn't you get some sleep?

Yeah, I couldn't sleep.

I keep thinking about

that second shooter.

Yeah. Well, you want to

think about him over a drink?

I sure do.

Tommy. Get her something.

I'll have whatever he's having.

What floor?

Really?

Yeah. Really.

What floor?

Six.

Andrew Holzman?

Yeah.

Agent Archer. This is Agent Driver.

We'd like to ask you a few questions.

You guys are here about

the assassinations.

Just like to ask you a couple of

questions if you've got a minute.

All right.

I guess it was just something

I was born to do.

I was a pretty big game hunter

before I joined the Corps.

Pretty good shot.

So I guess sniping was just in my blood.

And now?

Well, I've had my fill of killing.

I didn't kill your mayor

and I didn't kill Rudman.

Well, here's our

predicament, Mr. Holzman.

The mayor was killed about 15 feet away.

On the other hand, Rudman

was shot from 800 meters.

A really impressive shot

by anybody's standards.

We know you have the

skill and the training

To make a shot and oddly enough

you just purchased a weapon

That potentially could

have fired the same slug.

So help me out here.

800 meters is nothing.

Especially for a trained sniper.

Listen, what we'd like to do is

take the weapon down to the lab,

Let Ballistics run their tests on it.

Just to eliminate you from

the possible suspect list.

You okay with that?

Yeah.

Good.

I'll tell you what.

You take it.

Run all your tests.

But be good to my little girl.

We'll make sure to sing

her a bedtime story.

Come on in.

How can I help?

Just a quick question.

Something we've been bouncing back

and forth between the two of us.

So far we got the mayor and another

candidate that's been killed.

What we can't seem to figure out,

Maybe you'll help us with this.

Why do you think nobody

has come after you?

You still think I have something

to do with Stan's death?

I already told you I was at Sahara's.

I have a dozen witnesses

who can vouch for me.

You guys need to re-prioritize.

You should be more

interested in protecting me

Than trying to pin this crap on me.

We're not trying to pin anything on you.

If you'll excuse me, I have a debate.

Yeah.

Yeah, there's George.

I'll be right there.

What is it?

Mom's taken a turn for the worst.

Do you want me to come with you?

No. No.

I need you to stay and

keep an eye on things.

You sure you'll be okay?

Yeah. Yeah. Thanks.

Hey. What happened?

No. Don't listen to her.

I'm going to be fine.

How do you feel?

Did you find Stan's killer yet?

Mom, let's not...

Just don't concern yourself

with that right now, please.

I guess they figure

with me on the way out

They might as well be rid of him, too.

That's not true. Don't

think like that. John.

John. You need this now.

I never knew when would be

A right time to give it to you.

I'm so sorry.

There's nothing to be sorry about, Mom.

What is it?

Answers.

Okay. Answers, Mom. I

don't need any answers

Right now, okay? I don't...

Mom. Mom.

Grace! Grace!

My dear son.

I wish I had the power

to be with you today

But that was not to be.

I hope that one day you will

understand what I'm about to tell you

And that you'll find it in

your heart to forgive me.

Your father did not abandon us.

I told you this because at the time

We felt it would be best for all of us.

He was a rising political

light when we met.

But he was already married and

having an affair, much less a child,

Would've ruined his career.

So we kept it a secret all these years.

There's a photo in the box

Of you on the day you were born

And the man holding you

is your father. Stan Wood.

I'm so sorry you had to

learn about this this way.

I hope you can forgive me

And that you will always

remember that I loved you. Mom.

Oh, Nick. Just the

guy I was looking for.

Do you have my test results?

Yeah. Two of the bullets

came out of the. 22.

And the.30-06 shell

Was fired from the same type of weapon

But not your suspect's gun.

How do you know?

The gun's clean.

You'll find gun powder residue

in the barrel if recently fired.

Even if the gun had just been cleaned?

Yeah. There will be minute traces,

Even if it looks clean to the naked eye.

That gun hasn't been fired in years.

All right. Thanks.

Yeah.

Hey. You're late.

Come on. Fish are waiting.

Not this time, Lucky.

Hey, uh, I, uh...

I have something that may

help you find your shooter.

What is it?

Meet me at Louie's like in an hour.

We, uh... can't...

Can't talk here, okay?

Don't tell anybody.

I think there's a mole on the inside.

So, uh...

We may have stumbled onto something

much bigger here than we thought.

What is it?

A journalism intern named Alex Ferrer

Was working on a time

lapse photography project.

And he, uh, he gave us this flash drive.

Now, there's not much on it

But maybe we can enhance

it and find something.

Yeah, yeah, I'll have

IT take a look at it.

Thanks. Now that's the

only evidence we have

That might lead us to the assassin.

Be careful.

Thanks a lot, Jude. Anytime.

Appreciate it.

Archer.

Hey, John. Yeah, it's Driver.

Listen, I've got to talk to

you about something, um...

I'm outside of Louie's.

Yeah.

Mila. Mila!

Hello...

Ah!

Damn it.

Jude, it's Archer.

Listen, I need you to run

a trace on Mila's phone.

I don't know. Just do it.

Get back to me as soon as you can.

Ah.

Yeah.

You want

to see your partner alive,

Get in the car.

Eyes to the front.

Don't turn around. Don't look at me.

If he so much as twitches, shoot him.

You see, John,

You need to understand

that we have the ability

To quickly and efficiently snuff

out your life at any moment.

Since the mayor's untimely passing,

I can tell you everywhere you've been.

Every meal you've eaten. Every person...

You've contacted.

I could tell you things about your

mother that you don't even know.

I want to offer you a job.

See, a man like you could

either be a great asset

To this organization or a big problem.

I'd like you to be an asset.

So... I'll quadruple your salary.

Or I could kill you. It's your choice.

You'll receive a communication from us.

If you don't respond in kind,

Your life will quickly and

abruptly come to an end.

Oh, and John,

Any number that you think

that you're going to dial,

To enlist help in this crusade

against this organization,

Whether it be the Bureau, the PD,

The phone that's going to ring

Will be mine.

We're everywhere, John.

This is Agent Brown.

It's Archer. I need

to get ahold of Mila.

Tell me you got a location on her.

I've been trying to reach you.

I've got a fix on her.

Warehouse by the river.

Send it to my phone as

soon as possible. Yeah.
