She thinks every psycho in L.A.

Is coming after me.

Who knew?

Let me know

when 30 seconds pass.

Your private line.

Rackmill.

This is Omega.

This is Deputy Director Rackmill

of the CIA.

I'm not laughing, funnyman.

Who is this?

CIA?

Twenty seconds.

Where did you get this number?

They said it was

a government-sanctioned hit.

James Dunn.

- Trace it.

- You're in trouble.

The first lady was not supposed

to be the target.

- Ten seconds.

- I'm gone.

Wait a minute.

We didn't kill the first lady,

either.

How'd you get my private number?

My C.O. Casey.

Unit was Black Sheep.

Five seconds.

Where are you?

I can't help you

if I can't find you.

I'll find you.

Did you get it?

He hung up under the wire.

What did you find out?

I'm not sure.

Charlie,

run James Dunn through intel.

What branch?

CIA.

- What?

- Do it.

What about

that Black Sheep bullshit?

What is this, kung pao chicken?

- Want some?

- A little later.

It's not exactly bullshit.

Black Sheep

was a covert strike team...

we used to run until Congress

shut us down in '81.

- Whoa!

- What?

Black Sheep's been reactivated.

Or someone

wants to make it look that way.

Who's running it?

Lieutenant Colonel Grant Casey,

covert ops.

Died in Vietnam 30 years ago.

What is going on?

Haven't you ever been framed?

Framed?

Do the math.

A former marine sniper

assassinates the first lady.

Fifteen minutes later,

they've I.D.'d the shooter.

Fifteen minutes after that,

they've got him trapped.

Twenty-four hours later,

he calls here...

claiming to be a member

of one of our units...

wondering why he's not a hero.

This guy's been set up...

and so have we.

Who do you think it is?

Somebody very smart.

That's enough.

Chop-chop.

Good night, Niki.

You wanted to see me?

Don't even offer a man a drink?

Where's your sense

of hospitality, Mr. Bickhart?

- What's your pleasure?

- Johnnie Walker.

Get her out of here!

Out of the pool!

This wasn't the plan.

Nothing to worry about.

The manhunt's

been handed over to me.

I will apprehend him

within 48 hours.

I'm worried somebody else

will get to him first.

The FBI, the police.

What if he talks?

Let him.

Everything he thinks he knows

leads to someone else.

And the press?

We can't afford to have them

poking around.

That's how we got here

in the first place.

What got us here...

is that you

helped put a man into office...

whose wife

was a bleeding-heart liberal.

Not only that,

son of a b*tch is so weak...

can't even keep her

from wearing the pants.

It doesn't bother you at all,

does it?

We killed that woman.

I agree.

There are some concerns.

There's a lot of do-gooders

might want to help Dunn...

if he can convince them

of his innocence.

I have a way

of taking care of that.

It's going to require

more participation on your part.

What do you mean?

We need to keep

the public focused.

On what?

Money.

A little bit more of your money.

Bonnie Ann Hartfield was

a friend and great humanitarian.

We shared

many charitable causes...

none more worthy than caring for

the veterans of this country.

I was with the first lady

at the time of the shooting.

I feel an obligation

to do everything I can...

to bring her killer to justice.

I am offering $10 million

to any citizen...

who captures

or provides information...

leading to the capture

of James Dunn.

Barnes here.

There's another shooter.

I got it on tape.

Who is this?

L.A. Reservoir, 20 minutes.

No cops, no cameras.

Roger?

Why aren't you

on your way downtown?

You got to get someone else

to cover for me.

I got a call from a guy

claims there's another shooter.

He's got it on tape.

Go.

They yanked our clearances,

sealed our files...

took away our access codes.

Someone is trying

to stick it to us.

There are rumors

flying all over Washington.

I know.

You seem calm about it.

I'm paid to be calm.

Besides, it can be fun.

You can go years

without a good chess game.

I can't look

at another satellite photo.

I have the solution.

Really?

We eliminate Dunn ourselves.

That's our final option.

We need him

to help flush out the mole.

You think it's someone inside?

I know it is.

The only person who could know

our secrets that well is a mole.

Don't turn around.

Just start walking.

Relax.

If I were going to kill you,

you'd already be dead.

I didn't kill the first lady.

I was there,

but I didn't pull that trigger.

You were right.

There was another shooter.

Why was she assassinated?

Murdered.

The first lady's politics

means nothing.

Her agenda is social.

She has no military powers...

nor does she shape

foreign policy.

Whatever reason she was killed,

it was personal.

To who?

I don't know,

but if I don't find out...

it's just a matter of time

before I wind up...

like every other lone assassin.

You covered the first lady.

Did she have any enemies?

She wasn't the most popular

first lady, but nothing extreme.

Can you think of anything

in her past...

something that could have

come back to haunt her?

She led a pretty straight life.

Up until the White House,

she was an ACLU attorney.

Was she working on anything?

Veterans' rights.

That was her main focus.

Her biggest flaw

was her passion.

I don't know.

I can't think of anything.

Here's the tape.

Get it on the air.

Maybe people

will start asking questions.

You got it.

It's Dunn!

James Dunn!

You're cooked for 10 million.

It's him!

Sorry.

It's the guy

who shot the first lady!

Get him!

Stop him!

Ten-million-dollar man!

Y'all can run for 10 million.

Look out!

What are you, somebody famous?

You could say that.

People tell me

I look like Denzel Washington.

What do you think?

Roger,

I met him face-to-face.

Who is it you met?

Elvis. Who are you?

Who am I?

I'm goddamn General Woodward.

I'm heading this investigation.

I understand you have evidence

you wish to present to me.

Is that right?

What's this guy's story?

Steve, give him the tape.

Bullshit.

This is a matter

of national security.

They have the right to see

everything before we view it.

Give them the tape.

Son.

Wasn't too hard, was it?

We have a suspect in custody.

Get my chopper ready.

What do you know about that?

What?

Seems Elvis left the building.

Make a hole.

Get him up so the general

can see his face.

Freeze!

Don't shoot. It's me.

What happened to you?

I got stuck in traffic.

I've added the muzzle flash...

and I reversed the action

to create recoil...

I do not give a sh*t

about technology.

All I care about is if you can

deliver this within one hour.

Can you do that?

Do that.

This might sting.

Were you really in jail

before all this?

For killing someone?

Five years ago...

I was a marine specialist

in Iraq.

I was a sniper.

I was given a target package.

I was told it was a courier.

When the courier showed up,

it was a 10-year-old boy.

I refused the order.

My C.O. Freaked out...

pulled his sidearm,

put it to my head.
