Snake Eyes Page #8

I'm sorry. I wish I didn't know

any of this either.

Who the hell do you

think you are, lady?

Sticking your nose in where it doesn't

belong. You're a number cruncher.

Just crunch

the goddam numbers!

Uh, I was doing my job.

I mean, we were creating a defence system

that was supposed to save people's lives.

They're building the factory

in a disadvantaged part of the state.

- This was a good thing to do.

- "This was a good thing to do."

Jesus, somebody hands you a line,

you just swallow it whole, don't you?

Just a little

Goody Two-shoes.

Yeah, I believed in what we

were doing, and they corrupted it.

So somebody had to speak up.

I mean, it's important.

Does it feel important now? Did it

feel important when the bullet hit?

I had no choice.

I can't live with the blood

of innocent soldiers on me, okay?

- Whose side are you on?

- My side.

That E-mail. You let 'em know

you were coming.

- They just sat back and waited for you to

show your face. - No, I was careful.

I waited till Powell left.

I didn't sit down till it was clear.

No, you sat down exactly

when they wanted you to.

They opened the door,

and you walked on through right on cue.

They didn't miss him with

that second shot. They missed you.

I thought I'd get fired,

not... Killed.

What do we do now?

Well, are you a cop

or aren't you?

I can't get past the men at the doors

by myself, but with you I'd be fine.

You get me outside, you don't have to

think about me again.

- I can take care of myself.

- You've done a hell of a job so far.

Look, I'm sorry if l...

- Who gives a sh*t if you're sorry?

- What are you mad at me for?

Because I didn't have

to know!

You decided to have

this problem, not me!

My world would've gone on turning

just fine, but now either way I look...

I have to do something

I don't want to do.

Do you understand what I'm saying?

I do not want to do this!

Do what?

How old are you?

I'm 26.

Do you have a,

a family around here?

My mother in New York.

Do you have a husband?

- No.

- Boyfriend?

Why are you asking me

all this?

Kevin. Kevin Dunne.

You're positive he's the one you saw

with Rabat before the shots were fired?

- Let me tell you a little

something about Kevin Dunne. - You know him.

- He is one of the most honourable dudes on

the planet! - You know him. You know him.

Yeah, I know him. And you could

be wrong. Yeah, you could.

There were people

rushing in front of you...

...and you were nervous,

and you were scared.

- You could be wrong.

Isn't it possible? - Yes. Yes.

- Isn't it so? - Yeah, now that I think

about it, I think I could be wrong.

Um, you remember

I told you that my glasses...

...they had fallen off,

and I couldn't quite focus.

- I don't think it was him.

- Sh*t. Your glasses didn't fall off

till after the gunshots...

Nah, sh*t!

What happened

with the girl?

A cop shoved her out of the way,

and he's got her now somewhere.

The cop?

You mean your cop?

Yes.

But it's all good, right,

because you said he's controllable?

Absolutely.

He's only chasing this down because

he thinks it's a career opportunity.

Chasing it down, what?

You said he'd sit back.

This doesn't sound

like he's sitting back.

It sounds like he's conducting an active

investigation, a very dangerous investigation.

Kirkland died ten minutes ago.

Five minutes from now, I gotta be on TV.

Now, what is it, yes or no? We got

a goddam Columbo runnin' around loose?

No operation goes exactly as planned.

You don't panic.

Stay calm

and tie up loose ends.

What do you think I've been doing

for the last hour?

Jesus Christ!

This is not the plan I invested in!

In the plan I bought,

that prairie populist...

...who was criminally dismantling

the entire armed forces, goes down!

The disloyal employee,

she goes down with him.

The fanatical terrorist,

he takes the rap.

The AirGuard missile

contract is approved...

...and l, I get enough money to finish

the goddam Millennium!

It was a good plan!

No humiliation,

no scandal, no prison!

We're still contained.

Once the girl is gone,

it's only me and two men I trust.

Two?

I thought there were four.

Do we have another

acceptable loss?

I'm not on that list,

am I?

- You'll be safe in here.

- Safe?

I'm giving you

a place to hide.

Look, I don't wanna hide.

I wanna get out, okay?

- I'll be back in ten minutes. Take you out

through the casino. - Where are you go...

Rick? Rick,

the door's locked!

Rick?

Rick, let me out, please!

Rick, please, just let me out, okay?

I'll get out

on my own!

Rick!

Hey, Rick!

- Yeah.

- Here.

Come on. It's the five grand

for letting me be the guy.

Oh. There's

something extra here.

You're all heart, Rick.

I can't believe

we got called out in this rain.

Can you believe this, man?

Sir, this entire area is now the site

of an F.B.I. investigation.

You have to leave.

Oh. Okay.

Log in Santoro. He's A.C. Police.

Here comes

the pain, baby!

Here comes the pain!

Here comes the pain!

You're a bum, Lincoln Tyler!

How could you do... He's a bum!

Man!

- Hello. What?

- Hi, Ricky! It's me. I'm here, sweetie.

- Who are you? Where?

- I'm here, sweetie!

- It's me, your lucky number!

- My lucky number?

Uh-huh. I'm here.

It's called the Zero

Gravity Flying Eye.

- New camera. Got it in this morning.

- So nobody knew you had it?

Well, I knew.

It's remote control.

It floated all around the arena

to get crowd reaction.

Let me see its tape.

I need to look at this part alone.

Come on.

You're the man.

Oh, man.

Oh, man.

They were specifically told

they couldn't have a camera up there.

Don't give me that wounded look.

You haven't got the face for it.

I just received word...

Secretary Charles Evans

Kirkland is dead.

He passed away

at 10:
48 p.m.

At this time I'd like to extend

my deepest sympathies...

...to the secretary's family...

...and to the nation...

...and to the people that

he so faithfully and proudly served.

And, uh...

I have something else

to say.

To those that would try

to bully us or to terrorize us...

...to divert us from the causes

of peace and justice...

Kevin.

I want you to know that in spite of

what's happened here tonight...

...we are not deterred.

Production of the AirGuard

missile system will go ahead...

...in accordance with

Secretary Kirkland's wishes.

It's called the first draft of history.

It's going to hold.

Why did it

have to be me?

Why'd you want me

next to you?

One, I needed a cop

to back up my alibi.

Two...

I knew you could be bought

if anything went wrong.

No offence, pal, but I never thought

you'd get as far as you did.

You're my best friend.

You used me...

...made me a sucker...

...and that hurts me...

...because I would've done

anything for you.

Then tell me

where the girl is.

She didn't do nothing wrong. She was

just trying to save some guys' lives...

...soldiers,

like you used to be.

I mean, who the hell

are you now, anyway?
