Murder at 1600 Page #3

How long before the media finds out...

...that the President's son | was banging her an hour before she died?

I've got to go.

Nice dress.

You are to have no further contact | with Detective Regis, understood?

What if he initiates contact?

I want a report, detailed and immediate.

Written?

Beginning with what you two just | discussed right now.

Kyle!

- We used to date. | - Then you know how it works.

I think you should get revenge.

Excuse me?

You should get revenge.

How do I go about getting that?

Move to New York, become a model | and don't take his phone calls.

Interesting.

I need a drink.

- Like one? | - Your treat?

Sure.

What would you like?

Whatever you're buying.

Bourbon?

Nice.

After 2 bourbons, she's telling me | that his one mission in life...

...is to get laid in every room | in the White House.

It sounds like a plan to me.

She even told me...

...Kyle once bragged about sharing | a mistress with his father.

Carla Town?

She wasn't sure who.

It gets better than that. Her uncle's | company, Brookland Associates...

...is the leading East Coast fundraiser | for Jack Neil.

Really?

The company who leased the President's | campaign space owned her apartment.

This is good.

This is very good.

I hope you know what you're doing.

Good night.

Good night, dear.

Do you want to see my badge?

Why'd you come here?

So I'm digging...

...going through People magazine, | and just happen to come across page 16.

I find a picture of Kyle | coming back from Brazil...

...and you standing next to him | with an earpiece.

I must've looked at | 18 months of pictures of the guy.

You know what I found?

I found you were in over half of them.

You didn't say you were on his detail.

Until when?

I've nothing more to discuss with you | about this. The case is closed.

Agent Chance, when did they remove you | from Kyle's detail?

You show up grilling me about work?

Answer the question.

Don't come here again.

Answer me!

You expect me to violate | every oath I've taken?!

I have a duty to protect!

Your duty could send | an innocent man to prison for life!

Are you comfortable with that?!

I think you should leave.

How did Spikings find a button in the | bathroom no other detective found?

Did he plant it there?

I asked you to leave.

Did he plant it?

I don't know, okay?

Everybody's lying around here.

So, again...

...why did they remove you | from Kyle's detail?

They didn't remove me.

One night...

...I heard sounds...

...of violence, fighting...

...in his apartment.

So I went in.

And I found him...

...beating up his girlfriend.

He was ugly.

And they...

We...

...covered it up for him.

That was even uglier.

That's when I asked to be reassigned.

Look, I don't know what I would do | if I was you.

But I know | I could not let an innocent man...

...fry for something he did not do.

Maybe you can.

Get Neil out!

Bring our soldiers home! | Get Neil out!

Testing. 1, 2, 3.

Response:
North Korea has broken off | negotiations.

A dark cloud seems to be hanging | over this administration.

The FBI has not been able | to interview the First Son...

...now said to have been in the White | House at the time of the murder.

I have this to add | to the Carla Town effects.

Could you open it, please?

Thank you, Agent Chance.

No problem.

Go on through.

Hello?

Any problem?

No, I finally found everything.

You done?

Spikings wants to see you.

Now.

Anything I should know about?

I don't know. Is there?

You were in the Olympics.

You know about being a team player?

Sharpshooting isn't a team sport.

This is.

We put our lives on the line...

...every single day.

You must trust your co-workers.

Is there a problem?

You tell me.

This case is closed.

So I've heard.

Harlan Regis hasn't.

You would tell us | if he tried to contact you, right?

Of course.

Good.

Because if anybody found out...

...he'd elicited your support...

...for his paranoid theories...

...I'd hate to think how it'd look.

What people might think...

...as a team.

Why's the door shut?

Excuse me?

Why are your hands on me?

Because if anyone walked in...

...I'd hate to think how it'd look, | what people might think.

As a team.

This day and age, | they might get the wrong idea.

Agent Chance examined | Carla Town's effects 8 minutes ago.

Get her. And Cooper...

...do it quietly.

Nina Chance, find her and lock her down.

Cover the stairs, I'll take the front.

We got a visual.

I got it.

Cover the front!

Your approval ratings dropped 19%%%.

Your point?

The point is that | it's enough to distract anybody.

From a sober judgement?

I can't defend my own house...

...so how can I defend America?

We're a superpower, | let's act like it.

So is China...

...which, last time I looked, | had a pact with North Korea.

We can handle China... now.

10 years time, | at the rate they're arming, who knows?

Mr. President...

...let's bring the boys back.

We can go in with special forces.

General Tully has a point.

Poll in today's New York Times, | Jack.

53% of Americans-

Think we should strike | the North Koreans.

The Vice President's point | amplifies mine.

I'm not going to war over this.

I want the 7th fleet to stand down, | not turn around...

...stand down.

That doesn't bring them back | to the table, we'll reconvene.

Thank you, Mr. President.

You may be prepared to sit here | while they torture our boys, I'm not.

We're not being passive.

We're being patient...

...and prudent.

It's my duty to tell you | your lack of action is almost criminal.

Then you've done your duty.

Now I'll do mine.

I expect your resignation | on my desk in the morning.

You shall have it.

That's all, gentlemen.

What's wrong?

Here.

- It's from Carla's answering machine. | - Right.

How'd you get it?

I stole it.

Look, here's what you need.

In her appointment book...

...she has a meeting scheduled | for tomorrow in New York.

Craig Nisker and Associates?

He's the king of tell-all.

His agency sold 5 of the top 10 | scandal memoirs of all time.

That's his motive.

I'll be damned!

"Jack, Kyle and Carla: | The Oval Office Threesome. "

He figured she'd burn the whole family.

She'd score big with this.

I guess Kyle found out about it.

We can place him at the scene.

And he had history of | violence against women.

That's it.

He's mine.

You just don't get it.

These people can make us disappear.

I've got to go.

Where?

I checked into a motel.

I'll call you.

Be careful.

The court may direct what?

Mr. Peterson?

Under 2198...

...of the criminal code...

...the court may allocate a fine | for the children of the victim.

Please, what is it? | The porch light's on, but nobody's home?

Or the victim's spouse.

Incorrect.

The court may direct the fine be paid | to the female seduced...

...or her child, if she have any.

Pursuant to this statute...

...we have Desmond versus Preston, | which states:

"Where testimony in rape prosecution | concerning clothing of defendant was-"
