Fire With Fire Page #3

four hours before he died

he accessed your file.

So they paid him for your location

and then they killed him to tie it up.

Now, son,

this will never happen again.

Access to your records

will be restricted

to the executive office of WITSEC.

All your communications

will be double blind.

Full black box.

Go ahead.

These were found

in the shooter's van.

Oh my God.

You gotta be f***ing kidding.

Now I'm not judging anybody

not tonight.

I mean,

you're only human.

But why do you think they went

after the both of you?

Hell, you're the witness.

Why not go after you alone?

Because you cared for her.

So the safest thing for both of you

is to be nowhere near one another.

No. No, you need

to let me be with her.

I need to make sure

that she's safe.

No, she is safe.

- How do you know she's gonna be safe?

She is safe. She's under guard

and wherever she's going--

She's going with me, God damn it!

I need to see her!

Marshal Durham is

on a plane and in the air.

Hell, I don't even know

where it's heading.

And that's for her safety

and for yours!

What do you mean? She's gone?

- She's gone.

Your new identity is

already being arranged.

When it's done, we'll take you

out of New Orleans.

You've been erased.

You don't exist.

You're a ghost.

But you'll be safe.

When do I get to see her?

Not till after the trial.

You just sit tight.

Hang onto yourself. The case

just bled out all over the street.

There was a hit out on Jeremy,

a federal agent was shot.

Jeremy Coleman?

- Jeremy's off the grid.

What federal agent was shot?

- That's all the information I have.

Who are you talking to?

- The marshals in charge.

All right. Get me on the phone

with them right now.

Lieutenant Cella,

all due respect,

this water's a fair bit deeper

than what you're used to.

You're absolutely right.

I'm just a small-town cop,

so if you could help me

and pick out some small words

and explain to me exactly

how you're gonna protect this guy.

You know I can't provide

you with any details.

Just tell me what kind

of protection you have.

Well, the full weight and resources

of the United States Marshals Service

is being brought to bear.

Yes, I can almost feel it right now.

How about this?

Why don't you just give me the boy?

All right?

He can sleep on my couch.

I got cold beer in the fridge.

I have ESPN on the TV.

I have a 9mm Beretta.

I have a Ruger

Security Six .357 Magnum,

a Remington 86 tactical shotgun.

So you tell Hagan's men

if they wanna get this boy,

they're gonna have

to go through me!

Do you understand that,

you third-grade motherfuckers?

Lieutenant, I realize how much

this case means to you.

How's he doing?

Well, he's better than I expected.

He's a tough kid.

I want you to tell him

something for me, please.

I want you

to tell him that I said I'm sorry.

Did you hear that?

Tell him I said I'm sorry.

You should tell him

you're sorry, too.

I'm sorry to take up so much

of your time, Marshal.

I know that the federal government

really doesn't--

That's what we're doing.

The unit's open, it's all clear.

- All right.

Why don't you go grab

what you need

and then we'll get you

out of town.

Hello.

My man pulled

your girl's phone records.

Now she dials this number

late at night,

you talk for hours.

See, now you and I,

we never got to talk,

you know, just us.

Yeah, that's a shame.

I'm guessing

you're with the police.

You see,

I can talk to you

in an honest way.

See, in a way they can't.

So let's just--

let's just talk.

Just us, come on.

All right.

It's so simple.

Don't testify

and this will all be over with.

No, it'll be over

once you're sentenced.

You-- you've got--

you've got that

all wrong, see, Jeremy.

See, I go to prison

and I keep running my crew.

I'm gonna keep a contract out

on you and your girlfriend

for as long as it takes.

And this won't be over

until the both of you are dead.

Now-- now that can

happen anywhere.

Yeah.

Let me see.

How about

Monticello, Indiana?

At the lake house,

where your girl's family

has reunions.

I think the next one's in July.

I can't wait to go to that one.

Hey, when are the two

of you getting married?

I bet that's gonna be

a special day, huh?

You gonna invite all your

family and friends...

Craig, Adam,

Trey!

Carlos...

and how about

a couple of my guys?

Or maybe I'll just wait.

You know,

maybe I'll just wait for years

until you and your girl,

you got some kids of your own.

Then my men..

They'll come and kill them

while you watch.

You see, what you don't

understand, Jeremy, is...

prison time

ain't nothing but time.

Now you wanna live

the rest of your life

knowing that one day--

one day, son,

I will find you?

No, you're not gonna touch her.

I'll kill you before I let that happen.

Look,

testify, don't testify,

you're both dead anyway.

That's just for talking back.

No, you listen to me,

you son of a b*tch, you're dead.

You hear me?

You are f***ing dead.

You tell me exactly how someone

like you's gonna kill me.

Because I'm a ghost.

I don't exist.

I'm gonna find you.

I'm gonna kill you.

I'm gonna disappear

and nobody will ever know.

To hell with witness protection.

You're gonna need

protection from me.

I'm gonna need protection from you?

Oh sh*t!

I'm gonna need

protection from you.

Sh*t.

F***. Oh f***. F***.

Lost

You've been

so lost to me

And the cost

It's killed me

to set you free

But I...

Why don't you go hurry him up?

Just can't stand

to lose you now

No, I...

- Jeremy?

Just can't stand

To lose you now...

How we doing?

Jeremy?

Ah

Hey! He's running!

Hey!

He's running!

- Stay off the radios!

Find him,

but we've gotta keep this quiet

for his own protection!

Sh*t!

I can't stand

To lose you now

I...

Can't stand

to lose you now

I...

Can't stand

to lose you now

No, I...

Can't stand to lose

You now...

That's truly horrifying.

Thank God Mr. Coleman

survived these hideous

acts of random violence.

How do you say that sh*t

with a straight face?

Your Honor?

The police are executing

search warrants right now

on Hagan and all of his people.

I'm confident those warrants

will prove fruitless.

Come on,

physical proof or not,

basic common sense says that

Hagan needs to be locked up.

Your Honor, I'm asking you

to revoke that bail order.

Your Honor,

may I speak plainly?

If there was someone out there,

operating independently of my client,

attempting to bring harm

to Mr. Coleman,

incarcerating my client

will do nothing to prevent that.

In the absence

of actual evidence of any sort,

all you'd be doing,

with due respect, Your Honor,

is demonstrating extreme prejudice

and providing me

with grounds for appeal

of any future conviction,

not to mention

grounds for a complete dismissal.

Now in regards to that,

I welcome such an action.

By all means, lock him up.

Saw some robberies

and could be some missing bodies

Another killing hat,
