We've raised thousands of dollars.

I wouldn't disappoint them.

Aren't you scared?

No, I don't have time to be scared.

O'Neill.

What do you have for me?

You?

Now get away from me, I don't want

any terrorists mistaking us for friends.

The driver is still not talking.

I know all about it frank.

That still doesn't tell us what

he used or who is behind it.

Look, I know you guys like

conspiracy theories but it is-

- possible he acted Alone isn't it?

Unlikely.

Especially if he's not talking.

That means he's scared.

So what are you thinking?

I'm thinking I Gotta take a piss.

You want to help me out?

No.

That's good.

Okay, thank you very much.

Morning.

I'm with senator Traveres with two FBI agents.

Morning, senator.

How are you doing?

Morning senator.

Morning senator.

All rise.

Superior coirt district of

Columbia is now in session.

The honorable Vera Blair presiding.

Please be seated, come to order.

Good morning.

Any outburst or talking in the

court room and I will stop the proceedings.

Having said that, this is case 7487-4.

The people of the district of

Columbia against Salvio Capelli.

Since the defendant does not

Have a lawyer, the court has-

- appointed Mr. Lewis.

Mr. Lewis, are you ready to

enter a plea on the charges of...

Mr. Lewis.

Are you ready to enter a

plea on the charges of...

No!

A plea on the...

No!

Get the senator out of here right now.

Right now, move.

Move out of the courtroom.

Gimme out, gimme out of here.

Move out!

Officer, move!

Don't go there.

Don't, she's gonna blow!

I've never seen anything like it.

There was nothing.

No device.

She was the device.

She took a drink of water,

started to speak.

Stood up and then started convulsing.

That's it?

No.

I left out the part where

she swallowed a grenade.

She drank the water, sweat,

shook then boom, here come the

Judge.

There was nothing.

Nothing but...

What?

Do you think it could be the water?

Whoa!

Or it wasn't the water at all.

You okay?

Mike, get your guys out of here,

this is the explosive.

Best back off Dan,

whatever this is, it isn't water.

Aren't you scared?

No, I don't have time to be scared, Suzy.

Will you excuse me.

Well after the bombing this afternoon

senator traveres may be scared.

These terrorist attacks against

the members of the senate come-

- just a week before the

revote on the Anti-Arms bill.

The secret service will

keep extra security around the-

President until they find out

who is actually behind these bombings.

Suzy Bryant, Channel 7 News.

And it's a beauty.

And I put the wings and go whong.

We're here at the Federal Court

house where a mysterious-

- explosion has left 3 people

dead and 10 wounded.

Who is it?

It's me.

You realize of course you're

defying your own court order.

I heard what happened, are you okay?

I just wanted to make sure.

You want to come in?

I promise I won't turn you in.

Some of the senators have

hired their own body guards.

The national guard is on alert.

Opinion polls are running 3:1

in favor of the terrorists.

It's true, it's true.

There is a chart in USA today.

You want a drink?

No, thanks.

Nice place, huh?

There is a chair somewhere over here.

I'm sorry it's a mess.

It's the maid's year off.

I should have called first.

Oh god, she looked like you.

Tess, it's good to see you.

It's really good to see you.

Tess, you're my wife.

I need you-

I need to hold you.

I ache for you.

Why did you come?

What is it?

I know what you are feeling?

We both have to deal with the same pain.

Look at yourself.

Terry...

I'm not as good at this as you are.

Well you can sit here,

get drunk and feel sorry for yourself,

That's fine.

No one but you is blaming you.

Game!

Rematch next week?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Good game frank.

How the hell did you get in here?

I walked.

Now there is a matter of my $10 million.

I don't know what the

hell you're talking about.

What money?

Must this boring game go on?

First, Victor, then Thyme, and now you.

They say death always comes in threes.

Are you familiar, Frank,

with the road to hell.

And please don't think about

going public because you'll have-

- a slight difficulty explaining

A $50 million profit-

- stemming from and Anti-arms deal that

you and the others pushed through Congress.

I don't think you'd give up your seat

in the senate for 40 years in prison.

I don't know what the

hell you're talking about.

I signed on because it

was a high profile bill.

I didn't intend to get

involved with any of this stuff.

Someone has got my money, Frank,

and you'd better find it.

Otherwise, I'm going to blow you wide open.

Quite literally.

Thanks.

Excuse me.

Good afternoon, gentleman.

What's the good word?

Well, I should have test

results by the end of the day.

You know if it is some kind of

facsimile of water then they-

- can put it anywhere.

What did you get from your...

Shane please,

will you turn off your robot.

I feel like I'm In lost in space.

What did you get from your briefing.

Well it's really very

interesting both senator Thyme-

- and senator Victor sponsored the

Mideast antiarms bill which is-

- coming up for a revote.

What?

Trying to scare the senate into a veto?

Maybe.

But here I think is the interesting part.

There is one senator left who

sponsored that bill with them.

Who's that?

Goddammit!

Dan...

Dan...

Don't do anything stupid.

Look it they're pissed because

we haven't come up with any

Answers.

He is your answer.

Tell Traveres to stay away from my wife.

So what about saturday?

You going to come?

You said you would.

I'd like you to.

I don't know if I should.

Why, what are you thinking?

I don't know what I'm feeling here.

Nice security pal.

It's all right, it's okay.

No, no, no it's not okay.

You're a target.

Listen you prick.

Listen to me, anyone with half a

brain and a gun could walk right

Stop it.

Come home with me.

I don't need you telling

me who i am safe with.

Terry, please, come home with me.

Terry!

O'Neill you are already in

This deep enough, c'mon.

Gentleman,

why don't you escort Mr. O'Neill out.

I dug as much as I could, if I

Hadn't been so busy, I would-

- have gotten this to you sooner.

Frank Traveres is a regular boy scout.

His tax returns are in order.

He owes favors to a few

people, but that is not unusual.

You sure there is nothing in here.

Nothing that I could find.

Where is a corrupt politician

when you need one, huh?

Feel free to peruse the goods.

It says he is only claiming 122,000 a year.

Well that's all he makes on

salary plus a few speaking fees.

The man has a campaign

he is still paying off.

How's he paying for that house.

He didn't pay that much for it,

it was in bad shape.
