Patriot Games Page #2

That's their policy.

They'll proudly say they did it.

Have the IRA admitted to this?

I mean, common sense, logic...

Can I at least suggest some names?

Sure you can.

Good morning, Mr. Cooley.

And to you. How's business?

Fine, thank you. I came upon this

first edition at an estate auction.

Can your man restore it?

- When would you want this by?

- Soon.

The binder

may have some trouble with this.

Is that so?

Ill see what I can do.

He's not a miracle worker.

No, obviously he's not, Mr. Cooley.

The best you can arrange then.

- Good day, Mr. Cooley.

- Good day, madam.

Hello, Sean, do you mind

if I come along with you?

Although I disapprove

of the things you've done, -

- I can't quite bring myself

to condemn you.

I can't, because I understand

where the hatred comes from.

I more than understand it.

But the fact is, we're very near the

darkest hole in all of Great Britain, -

- and you still won't speak to me.

The bridge is up.

We'll be here for five minutes.

Understood.

Mobile three to Lymington...

Open the door.

Open it or Ill kill him.

- They've got the bridge keeper.

- Open the door.

Should we wait until they kill him

and then open the door?

- Your guns.

- We are unarmed.

Get them out.

Lie down. Don't you f***ing move.

Did you think we'd forget about you?

Inspector Robert Highland,

this is a friend of mine.

Tell me, what do they pay you

to turn against your own people?

Get on with it and be on your way.

Very well,

if that's the way you feel about it.

Come on, Cath.

- Have I got the tickets?

- They're on the fridge!

- Dad...

- Honey, there's plenty of time.

- Hello, Admiral.

- Jack, you know Marty Cantor.

- How's the shoulder?

- Not too bad.

Something's come up.

Can we sit down and have a chat?

They were moving him to

Albany Prison on the Isle of Wight.

- We think he's left the country.

- Let's deal in what we know.

We know he escaped in Kent,

near the Channel.

If he's left the country...

Jack, are you listening?

The chances that he'd come here,

or would try to, -

- are so remote

I have trouble even saying it.

Yet your first instinct

was to come out here and tell me.

Marty, excuse us a few minutes.

Ive got a few more weeks

before school starts, -

- but Ive got to prepare

a few lectures.

Come and look at what we've got.

You might turn up something.

You're asking me

if I want to come back.

Yep.

We'll try and go next week.

Sorry.

Sean Miller escaped.

What does that mean?

They thought I might be concerned,

but Im not.

The IRA's not going to follow me

over here. We talked about that.

They're gone, that's it.

They didn't ask you

to come back to CIA?

- I said no.

- Just like that.

I don't want to go back.

- I saw them coming and I just...

- I know.

I can't go back to that life again,

you know?

I bet your cell

was better than this.

At least you had

your own toilet bowl.

Cheer up, you've just been spared

a lifetime of hell on earth.

I don't feel like resting, laying in

the sun like a complacent tourist.

We've got to train like soldiers

and we can't do that in Ireland.

Its a waste of time.

There's a difference

between laying about and laying low.

Next time we'll post Lord Holmes

back to Whitehall in pieces, -

- if that's what it takes to free

every Irish political prisoner.

- That's not what Im thinking of.

- I know that.

What Ryan did can't be undone.

Stop thinking about it.

I can't.

How could something like this

have happened?

Inspector Highland picked the day

and the route, and still they knew.

- He had two children.

- Tragic.

SO-13 have narrowed it down to

31 people who had this knowledge.

Five of whom are now dead.

You should limit your appointments.

I will not have my itinerary

dictated to me by terrorists.

Whoever this traitor is,

they'd better pray I never find him.

We know you'll do your best, sir.

We don't know

if were ever coming home

stand up, buckle up,

shuffle through the door

jump out and shout Marine Corps!

Egesta appealed to Athens

on what basis, on what grounds?

Mr. Viederman?

A bad time for you?

They said they'd be grateful.

- Didn't they?

- Yeah.

Fight our battle and the world

will fear and respect you.

- Athens already had respect.

- It didn't matter.

- Pride, sir.

- That's the real battle.

- Attention on deck.

- Attention to orders.

I have a presentation to make.

For service above and beyond

the call of duty of a tourist, -

- we recognize John Patrick Ryan

with the order of the Purple Target.

We hope that he will duck

next time, -

- lest he become part of history

rather than a teacher of it.

- How old is he?

- Ten.

Plate-glass window?

Here goes. Hi, guys.

We may have to bump my next

appointment. This might take time.

Yes, let's bump it.

Okay, let's do it.

You just waded on in

like John Wayne.

Why did you do it?

What were you thinking?

- I don't know. I wasn't thinking.

- You sound like my students.

It pissed me off.

I couldn't just stand there

and watch them shoot those people.

It was ... rage.

Pure rage.

- It just made me mad.

- I hope you never get mad at me.

She's late, Sean.

She was at this dance,

and then this guy at the end...

She's kind of cute, isn't she?

Is she?

Bye.

- Hi, Mommy.

- How are you?

Let's do it.

Damn!

Highway 50. West.

Goodbye, Doctor.

Dr Ryan! He's getting away.

Where's Sean Miller?

Dr Catherine Ryan, please.

How long?

Come on!

This is Dr Ryan. I want the results

on the Thompson boy's retinal scan.

Cathy, get off the phone.

- Look, Mom.

- Its beautiful.

Im still holding.

Id like to speak with Dr Sutton.

Operator, emergency breakthrough.

The number is 555-3464.

Its a mobile phone, I know.

What do you mean I can't?

Faster!

- Dr Ryan, the scan is fine.

- Great, thank you.

Jesus!

Hello? Jack?

Cath, something's happened.

Is Sally with you?

- Is everything all right?

- Fine.

There she is.

Get to the nearest police station

as quick as you can.

- The police station?

- Get off the highway.

Steady, mate.

- Where are you now?

- Rowe Boulevard.

There's a police station

at Houston Street.

- Is something wrong?

- No, everything's fine.

They're gone.

- Mr. Ryan?

- Yeah.

Your wife's okay.

She sustained a concussion.

- She's pregnant.

- The baby's okay.

- And my daughter?

- Let's sit down.

No, talk to me.

Its going to be a while

before we know.

- Where's Sally?

- She's in the recovery room.

They're watching her.

We'll know in a few hours.

They had to remove her spleen.

She's in pretty bad shape.

Im sorry.

Here you go. Are you okay?

We go over to our reporter

with Paddy O'Neil.

Im praying for the recovery of the

victims of this senseless attack.

Sinn Fin are outraged, as are most

Irishmen, at this heinous crime.

I want to share with Dr Ryan

our empathy and anguish, -

- at an appropriate time.

- Was funding for the IRA...

- The IRA are not responsible here.

- They had nothing to do with it?
