What is this place? Where am I?

You've already been warned.

What do you want from me?

You've made our people uneasy.

What? What people? What

are you talking about?

You didn't heed the warning

And now you'll have to pay the price.

Get off of me! Grrr.

Get off of me! Agh!

No!

What is that stuff?

No. No!

This ends here.

Can I help you?

We're hoping you can, actually.

You seen this kid?

No. I can't say that I have.

We get a lot of dorks in

here that look like that

But I've never seen that one.

Thank you for your time.

Alex, it's Jessie.

A couple of suits came

in looking for you.

They looked like agents,

but I'm not sure what agency.

I think you should stay out

of sight for a couple of days.

Here you go.

Mm. Thanks for your mom's clothes.

Of course.

How are you feeling?

I'm... I'm pretty groggy but, um...

I'm okay.

They did quite a

number on you, you know?

You saved my life. I owe you one.

All right. Nothing you

wouldn't have done for me.

Let me show you something.

I found this last night.

It's the guy that attacked me.

He had a tattoo that was

a very distinctive tattoo.

I did a little research

and this is what I find.

A secret society.

This Annuit coeptis or however

you pronounce that in Latin.

I've never been a big believer

in this Illuminati stuff but...

If this is real,

This could be far bigger

than we ever imagined.

Wait a minute.

Jude gave me this, um...

This flash drive.

Told me some kid named Alex

Was doing time lapse

photography on a roof

The night the mayor was murdered.

He got a partial look

at a possible suspect.

Jesus Christ.

What...? What's going on?

Jude said that it's on this flash drive?

Yeah.

I don't know if this drive is corrupt

But there's nothing here. This is empty.

We need to find the original.

Yeah, we do.

All right. Let's, um,

Let's do it first thing in the morning.

All of you know

That I didn't run for this office.

But I was asked by the

Council and both parties

To serve as mayor until such a time

As a proper election can be held.

I would like to thank the

Council for their faith in me.

And I promise

To serve this city and its

well-being as tirelessly

As my mentor and friend

Mayor Stan Wood.

Thank you.

Coffee?

Yeah. Thanks.

Walk back to the bed.

What? Just do it.

Walk back towards the

bed now. What is it?

My rifle's under the bed.

Give me some shells. Right in the bag.

Come on, you son of a b*tch.

Let me get a look at you.

He's down.

He's down.

Let's go.

You son of a b*tch.

I'm sorry. I had no choice.

Why did you give me the drive?

That drive was wiped clean when

I pulled it from my computer.

Who's behind this?

The society.

And the one who ripped it.

Make a phone call. Secure that weapon.

Hand me that cell.

I got two texts here.

Alex Ferrer. 616 Hobart

Boulevard, Loft number 16.

I got a second text.

Lighthouse...

We gotta get to that kid. Yeah.

If Alex was the only one with

the drive, he could be next.

We need agents we can trust.

I'll call DC.

You sure about that?

I'd bet my life on it.

All right.

It's the top floor.

Alex Ferrer?

Yeah.

Federal Agents. Please open the door.

What's this about?

Just need to ask you a few questions.

Open the door please.

Oh, God.

Listen. You gave a flash drive

To a colleague of ours that

has sensitive material on it

And it's put your life in danger.

The file's been corrupted and

we need to get the original.

Wait, wait, wait. Corrupted?

That's impossible. I double checked it.

We can't access the file on the drive.

You have another source of

the footage here somewhere?

Well, yeah. The

original's on my computer.

Good. Bring it up. Now.

Uh.

There he is.

Yeah. That's him.

Pack up your computer Take it with

you. Let's get you out of here.

Let's go, let's go, let's go.

You better get him out of here.

Stay back. Okay.

You all right? Yeah.

We got to get him out of here

and safe as soon as possible.

Where are we going?

We'll drop you off at

the local news affiliate.

Why don't you grab

the car and pull it up

To the loading dock?

When you get there, there's

an anchor, David Newman.

Hand him the file he'll

know what to do with it.

All right. You're going to be fine.

I never thought my big

break would come like this.

What time we're getting

the package from the truck?

We've got to run that story at ten.

Excuse me, I need to see David Newman.

I have something here that

he's going to air right away.

I'm Newman. John Archer sent me.

I have something you need to see.

Archer? Yeah.

All right. Let's see what you got, kid.

Come on.

You did good.

These will do nicely.

What the hell was that?

Go find out!

And Thomas Edwards were all members

Of a secret organization

With ties to illegal arms dealers

Drug suppliers,

And terrorist organizations

U.S. and international
