Shadow Conspiracy Page #4

...I promise.

(RADIO CHATTER )

It's not good.

It's not good at all.

Somebody's trying to implicate me.

I wrote down everything

I could remember

about Pochenko's study group.

And I came up with something.

He used to work at his girlfriend's

apartment sometimes.

Remember her? Tamara?

Yeah. of course.

He always said that he did

his best thinking there.

You know where it is?

Over on Calvert Street.

Better get there before they do.

You alright?

They're gonna come for us again.

aren't they? Wherever we are.

Do you want the truth?

No. lie to me. You were always

so much better at that.

Hey. sir. you better take

a look at this.

How do you fit into

all of this. Miss Rashov?

She was Yuri Pochenko's

significant other.

Still no answer at Tamara's.

Sit still. There's a trick to it.

Thanks.

If you see anything

that looks suspicious.

Anyone that could be a killer.

honk the horn twice.

What's a killer look like?

Use your instincts.

(LIFT MECHANISM WHIRRS)

Are you looking for me. please?

I am Tamara Raschova.

May I help? you, please'?

(Muffled screams)

(BONES CRACK)

Hey. hey. what the hell is this?

Start the car!

Start the car!

Drive! Drive!

(Yells)

Jesus!

Drive!

Bobby!

(Screams)

Bobby!

Good driving. Miss Givens.

You found something?

Yeah.

I found Tamara dead

and a list of names that

Pochenko was investigating.

MAN ON INTERCOM:
Grasso. the police

reports are starting to come in.

Sir. you'd better

take a look at this.

There's a homicide

over on Calvert Street.

The deceased is that Tamara Rashov.

Description fits Bishop.

Witness saw him drive off

with somebody in a jeep.

Did police get the plates?

That's a negatory.

Just got a partial plate number -

enough to start a trace.

I tell you.

Bishop's turning into a death train.

Everywhere he stops. people die.

Keep your brilliant metaphors

to yourself, will you, Charlie?

And 'negatory' is not an English word.

WOMAN ON INTERCOM:

OK. we're tracking onto him.

MAN:
Check. Moving forward.

Alright...let's get started.

MAN:
Roger that. 61

We got the make and model

and a partial plate.

I want a cross-reference

of all of Bishop's associates

who have similar vehicles.

(Exhales deeply)

Seems like old times. huh?

(Chuckles) You never took me

anywhere this nice.

How does it feel?

How does it look?

Pretty bad.

Secretary Murphy...

General Blackburn.

Chairman Cutler?

(Gasps) This is insane!

And what do these names

have in common?

You don't think one of these

could be a traitor?

Always keep a file.

What?

It's something Conrad taught me.

I got files on all these guys.

Oh...let me guess where.

Yeah.

Call Conrad. have him do it.

No.

Whoever's behind all this is probably

monitoring the entire White House.

Call Jake. he could be the next victim.

Sir. there's been another murder.

And Bobby has been placed

at the scene of this one too.

DC police have an all-point bulletin

out for him.

What about someone

trying to discredit him. frame him?

Mr President.

I've called the CIA. NSA.

Give me something. people.

They've got nothing for us.

Yes. but we can't

rule out the possibility

that Bishop's been turned

by one of our enemies.

We should not rule anything out.

Jake. what do you think?

We have to get him in here. sir.

Then we'll find out what's going on.

Alright. goodnight.

Goodnight. sir.

It's funny how 24 hours in this town

can put you on the other

side of the fence.

If they're smart.

they've kept their search internal.

That's how Jake would do it.

If not. they're following Saxon's lead.

And the guards will be looking for us.

Now. if we make it past the guards.

Once we get inside. they will enter

my name on the in-house computer.

If that system's being monitored. we

could have as little as five minutes.

Amanda..you can bail out

if you want to.

No. you need me...don't you?

I'd give us about a 50/50 chance.

You never could say it.

Let's cut the chit-chat. alright?

GUARD:
ID please.

Mr Bishop. Amanda Givens.

'Washington Herald'. B5.

(MACHINE BEEPS)

OK.

Remember. you gotta see what happens

after they enter my name. OK?

OK.

If the screen starts flashing.

get out of there.

May I help you. ma'am?

Hi.

Robert Bishop wanted

to see me right away.

He said that maybe you could

find him for me? Is that possible?

May I see some ID. please?

I'll see where the system has him.

Oh! So sorry.

That's quite alright.

I do this 100 times a day.

Bishop hasn't been logged in

on my watch.

OK, then...I'll Wait.

Thanks.

(PHONE RINGS)

Yes?

(Hangs LIP)

Hiya. George. How are you?

OK. What happened with you?

Catch another elbow?

Two elbows. George.

You have a visitor waiting.

There you are. I've been

looking for you.

How's the wife?

Doing fine. Mr Bishop. thanks.

Good. glad to hear it.

Be sure to send her

my best. would you?

( METAL DETECTOR BEEPS)

I'm sorry.

(Chuckles)

Should I just...leave this here?

Yes. please.

Come on. Miss Givens.

We don't have all day.

How'd the O's do. Mike?

Not so well. Mr Bishop.

(LIFT BELL RINGS)

Anything else?

Check this over for typos.

Yes. sir.

And...let Richard look over this paper

before you send it out.

Yes. sir. Very good.

I talked to Congressman Myers...

( PEOPLE TALK OVER INTERCOM )

I got you. baby!

Amanda Givens - 1A1 142.

Got your ass!

You're mine now. (Laughs)

COMPUTERISED VOICE:

Chief of Staff Conrad.

You've forgotten your password

again. haven't you?

No sh*t.

Have your assistant

call NSC Security.

Save your data. End query.

Terminating in two minutes.

How will you get in?

Conrad once showed me

a back door into this database.

He changed the password every week

and he would tend to forget it.

So if I can just remember it...

Bingo.

(Tests door handle)

OK. Attorney General Toyanbee.

let's see what they've got on you.

Look at this.

Classified.

It's active classified.

Try Oliver Murphy.

It's the same.

Lawrence Blackburn.

Lawrence Blackburn. Sh*t.

Hey. Jake. did you log on

to the NSC secure database?

I'm here. Mr Grasso. I'm here with you.

How could I possibly log on to

whatever it is you're talking about?

Well. somebody did.

and they're using your name.

Check it out.

Doesn't look good to me.

I'll try one more name.

What is this?

Transfer list. Transfer to what?

There's a separate directory

just for me.

Damn. Call Conrad - 5683.

(Dials digits)

(PHONE RINGS)

Jake.

Bobby. I've been ordered

to bring you in. Where are you?

Get this.

Three of our top cabinet officials

have active files

in the classified NSC database.

Active files?

What's that mean - active?

Why am I under surveillance?

What? You're not under surveillance.

It's in your goddamn computer. Jake.

Bobby. you're not under surveillance.

It's in the goddamn NSC database.

Somebody's gotta know about this.

Well. I for sure don't. for Christ's sake.

How can I know anything about it?

I can't even remember my...

vvhat's-it-called.
