The Jackal Page #3

in El Salvador, I think.

I didn't like talking to him.

I suppose we were all dangerous people...

...but he was different.

Declan was fire, all passion.

He had a cause.

This man was ice. No feeling, nothing.

Okay. Thank you, Mrs. Decker.

You've been very helpful.

It's best if you keep our conversation

confidential, even from your husband.

Don't worry about George.

He doesn't know anything

about my past and he doesn't want to.

All he needs to know is that I love him.

I see.

I thank you again.

I'll wait for you in the car.

This opens a locker

at Norfolk Greyhound Terminal.

Inside is a clean passport and $10,000 cash.

Your friends left it with me

in case you ever showed up.

Take it and go back to Ireland.

I can't.

What?

You gave your word?

Go now.

Once he kills whoever he's after,

they'll send you back to prison.

When I believe that, I'll use the key.

Are you happy at least?

Yes. I love my children.

And my husband, in my way, I mean.

Some nights I can close my eyes

and sleep...

...and no dead faces come to wake me.

That's more than I ever had.

You wouldn't have me give that up,

would you?

Give me some credit, will you?

She's Basque, isn't she?

Aye.

They say Basques live by the vendetta.

If they hate someone, it's to the death.

It's the same way when they love.

My first name is Valentina.

You have family in Russia?

My parents. My brother, in the navy.

Husband? Kids?

No. I have not found the time.

In truth, it's never been a conflict for me.

This is not a quality

a man looks for in a woman.

By the way...

...whatever Isabella gave you after I left...

...I trust you won't use it

until after our business is concluded.

Don't miss a thing, do you?

No, Mr. Mulqueen.

I see everything.

Maybe we should start

by canceling your public appearances.

No, I don't think that's necessary.

I mean, not yet.

This fellow's gonna need to

make preparations. He'll need time.

- How tight are the borders?

- Mexico and Canada have...

Mr. Mulqueen?

Something you'd like to share?

He'll likely be using four false identities.

Three will be on him, and one

in reserve at a drop box somewhere.

- That's the way he used to operate.

- What matter if he has 40?

It's still one man. Might we not

be creating a storm in a tea cup?

Exactly. I agree with you 100 percent.

Director Bolitonov.

Terek has always made

doing his own killing a point of honor.

Usually very bloody and very public.

A statement, if you will.

So, if he's hired an outsider...

...obviously, this is something

he takes very seriously.

Until this Jackal is captured or killed...

...I don't think we can afford to do any less.

Come on. Let's get real here. It's one guy.

It's just one guy. Bolitonov's right.

With the assets in this room,

the guy's as good as got.

That's if he doesn't blow it first...

...like a lot of these clowns.

Remember that guy? What was his name?

What's that, Mr. Mulqueen?

I'm sorry, Mr. Brown,

but this man is no clown.

He knows all your moves, back to front.

Right now, you got a name.

That's all you got.

The Jackal's got a target: You.

He's got a timetable.

As to making mistakes, he's spent 20 years

in a trade that doesn't forgive error.

And he's prevailed.

You think he's the one

who is up against us?

It's the other way around.

- Hi.

- Hi.

- Can I buy you a drink?

- Yeah.

I think you should come home with me.

I'd love to...

...but I can't.

I have to go back to Atlanta...

...to finalize my very messy divorce.

Does she know?

She does now.

So how am I gonna see you again?

You could give me one of your cards.

You're not gonna call.

Douglas.

You just have to have

a little faith in people, that's all.

Like I do.

Open your shirt.

- Easy now. Easy.

- Now!

Easy.

Open your shirt.

Easy now.

Souvenirs of British hospitality.

I apologize.

No problem.

Oslo Travel came up with a James William

Hayslip who flew from Toronto...

...August 25, two days before

the meeting with Terek.

We checked the Social Security number

on his passport, and guess what?

It belongs to an inmate committed to a

mental institution in Virginia 12 years ago.

Now, Canadian Travel says he flew...

...to Montreal nine days ago.

Hello?

Hello?

- Yeah?

- Yeah, Charlie Murdock.

Picking up a delivery, eh?

Invoice.

Yes.

- It's a hot one, eh?

- You can say that again.

Hi. I need to use one of your computers.

Sure. Any one.

Can I get on line with this?

Yeah, sure.

Go check upstairs.

Thank you.

Hayslip's disappeared.

Border Patrol has the passport photo,

but nothing's shown up yet.

- He's moved on. I told you.

- One moment.

The only place we're sure

he's been is Montreal.

What if he started using

the next identity there?

I'm not following you.

Hayslip disappeared,

that doesn't mean the Jackal did.

Perhaps something has happened.

Witherspoon, have the Montreal police

check their logs for the last 48 hours.

If he's on to the next name,

it's because it's in the plan.

- A man like this doesn't make mistakes.

- No?

They always make one, somewhere.

Isn't that how you were caught?

What's her story, then?

Major Koslova...

...ends the debate about

women in combat, as far as I'm concerned.

How's that?

When she saved my life

and took out Terek's brother...

...she did it knowing she'd be drawing

a death sentence down on her own neck.

But when we offered to set her up

someplace else when this is over...

...you know what she said?

"The good guys don't hide."

Fierce woman.

In that country, under that system...

Staggering.

Oh, sh*t, you know what?

I couldn't get titanium.

So, I had a friend mold the base

out of carbon fiber instead.

Came in 23 kilos

under the weight you asked for.

- Is that cool?

- Yeah, that's great.

I'm still gonna want the plans, the mold

and the scrap material. Remember?

Yeah.

- Maybe we ought to talk about that.

- Oh?

This rig, I figure it's to support

something pretty heavy, right?

Like a Gatling gun, maybe?

Or a 20-millimeter cannon?

You must be shooting

at something pretty big.

Armored car, maybe?

Bank vault?

I don't know. You could be shooting

a f***ing airliner for all I know.

But the point is...

...a job like this

can attract a lot of attention.

I don't want any attention.

Right, right. That's why I'm saying...

...I think the plans

and mold are worth a little bonus.

- How much?

- I don't know.

$100,000?

Come on, man. You know it's worth it.

You got a serious piece of equipment.

All right.

I'll get you $50,000 tomorrow.

I'm gonna need a place to test this.

Someplace that won't draw any attention.

We got a place like that.

We got a place just like that.

Target's in place.

Man, I should have brought some beer.

Motherfuckin' motherf***er.

That motherf***er is state of the art!

I knew it was gonna be big. I didn't know

it was gonna be the prototype cannon.

It's a f***ing mole.

- Some hairy-looking rounds.

- Made from depleted uranium.
