No Way Out Page #7

to do with the murder?

Nothing.

This, it's a cover-up.

That's all I can tell you.

- Come on.

- Goddamn it, Sam, this is...

This is for your own

protection, all right?

These people have already tried

to kill one person who knew.

What do you want me to do?

Will you slow up the

resolution on that picture?

I need more time, Sam.

I need more time to get

this straightened out.

That's what I need.

I'm not satisfied with

the way this is coming up.

The Eigenvalue is off.

Looks all right to me.

We're pulling away from

our reference information.

Advise them to program

a Fourier Transform.

I don't know, that seems

like a waste of time.

Just do what I want, okay?

Take it easy, Sam, we're all working

the same amount of time.

I'm sorry, David.

Just do it, please, okay?

What are you looking for?

F*** off.

Where are you going?

I would rather do this myself.

You can listen if you want to.

- Display that badge. Hi.

- Hi.

- This goes here?

- Yeah.

Where are we going?

We're gonna go down to

Major Donovan's office.

You can give a full description

of this guy to him.

Who the hell's Donovan?

He's our commanding officer.

Hello.

You know who this is?

I have to talk to you,

but I can't leave here now.

I'm on the damn pay phone now.

It's probably not even safe.

All right, I'll come there

as soon as I can get away.

I'll be damned! That's him, the son

of a b*tch who rented the boat!

Where?

Right there, he just went

around the corner!

Do you see him?

He's gone.

I'll get back to you.

Where have you been?

Yuri's in the building.

Would you buzz

the Secretary, please.

They were bringing in a

witness and he spotted him.

I know!

Can I go in?

- Go right in.

- Well, what are my orders, sir?

Close all the exits, Major.

Hold your witness while

we decide what to do.

Yes, sir.

- Is Yuri in the building?

- So it would seem.

- This is splendid work, Tom.

- I've had all the exits closed.

Why don't we empty the building and

have everybody file past this man?

Then in five minutes the

place will be swarming

with television cameramen.

We'll just have to take the

witness through the building,

room by room.

It's the largest building

in the world.

It's the only way

we'll get any privacy.

I'll see to it.

Major Donovan, I suggest

that all officers carry side arms.

The man we're after has killed

at least one person already.

Don't worry, Tom.

I don't expect you to carry one.

Tall or short? Thin or fat?

Light or dark?

- That's right.

- You think this is some kind of joke?

What I'm trying to tell you is

the son of a b*tch is average.

All right, let's go find this

"average" son of a b*tch.

I'm positive I remember this guy.

I always remember the good tippers.

CID has brought in

another witness.

A bellboy from a

hotel in Annapolis.

Now you can have

two search parties.

That's great news.

We can move twice as fast.

I'll see to it.

You see, David?

It's all coming together.

Dear God,

I hope you're right.

All right, down this corridor.

Make it quick.

Let's go.

That ain't him. I just rented the

guy a sailboat, give me a break.

I'm getting sick of this sh*t.

How much longer?

Scott, it's impossible to

search this entire building.

It would take all night.

We have a shift finishing

at 5 and one at 6.

What do you suggest

we do then?

Let them out through

the mall entrance.

- We'll have both witnesses there.

- What do you think?

Television.

We haven't been

allowed inside, Mark,

but we're told there's

a bottleneck of hundreds

perhaps thousands of people,

waiting to go home.

Those who have been

allowed to leave say

they were first cleared by

members of the CID.

That's The Criminal Investigation

Division of Army intelligence.

Apparently, there's a search on

for a person who may be a spy

trapped, right now,

inside the Pentagon itself.

We will stay here and follow

these events as they develop

and we'll get back to you with

updates as the story continues.

Melissa Donaldson, WCDM,

at the Pentagon.

He must have

gotten out past us.

No way. He's hiding

somewhere in the building.

We'll have to go back

to the room-to-room.

We'll go down to

the basement level,

search the situation room

computer complex.

We'll start at the bottom

and work our way up.

Let's do it.

Jesus.

- You're to initial this, sir.

- What?

- You're to initial this.

- What is it?

It's authorization to release the

Atwell woman's body for burial.

We're down to about 50

persons with A-positive blood.

- How many are men?

- Aw, come on.

Nobody told me we had

to sort them out by sex.

Look, I gotta take a break, man.

Sam, I need to talk to you.

- I have to have your help.

- I slowed it up as much as I could.

I know, but they're going to be

able to recognize this picture soon.

There's nothing

more I can do.

They mean to kill me, Sam.

Tom, you haven't slept

for two days.

I'm telling you the truth,

I don't stand a chance in hell.

For God sakes, why?

If you didn't have anything to do

with the girl's murder, why would...

Brice killed her.

- Brice?

- She was his mistress.

- I thought she was your girl.

- Look, here. See this?

- See this?

- "Antique gold box"...

This is a present to Brice from

the Moroccan government.

He gave it to Susan.

It's the only way

I can prove he knew her.

He'll call off the search,

Sam, I know he will.

- I see.

- Do you believe me?

Well, then can you insert that into

the State Department's computer?

- I can do that.

- I know you can, Sam, but will you?

- I'll do whatever I have to do to help.

- Then let's do it.

I'm standing there,

there's nothing there, Sam.

If you just want a piece of paper,

you can type it yourself.

I thought we'd just print...

The computer is searching the protocol

to find the right place to insert it

and then it'll print it out.

- All right, how long?

- Soon.

First two on the right,

second two on the left.

Last man in the doorway.

Nobody in or out.

What's going on here?

We're getting ready

to search in here.

I can see that, who told you

to bring them in here?

Nobody, this is the only major area

that hasn't been covered yet.

All right ladies and gentlemen,

we'll be conducting a search in here

and I ask you all, please...

- Sir, wait.

- Oh, Jesus.

I have to change.

- Okay, let's get going.

- Don't let anyone pass.

Sam Hesselman.

Look, I'm sorry to bother you,

but this is over my head.

It's about Commander Farrell.

I'm not sure...

I'm not sure he knows

what he's doing.

All right, I'll meet you.

Please, don't mention

this to anybody else.

I mean, the reason I called you was

because I know you're his friend.

You did the right thing.

This door's locked.

Anybody have an

extra key out here?

This is Commander

Farrell's office, isn't it?

Yeah, we better have

a look in here.

Well, tell you what, fellas.

Here we go, maybe this will work.

Nobody here.

Let's get on up the

hall here, gentlemen,
