The Jackal Page #5

Valentina's evacuating Isabella and her

family in case he knows where she lives.

Look, the director doesn't even know

where Isabella lives.

I ordered Witherspoon to keep her

out of the report. No way Jackal knows.

Well, our Russian black-heart surely passed

everything else to him, didn't he?

Here, look.

That's your phone number.

That's Valentina's.

You know those two at the bottom?

The first one's the Russian Embassy.

The second one's...

- Son of a b*tch.

- What?

This is an FBI access code.

- FBI Data Center.

- This is Special Agent Carter Preston.

- My authorization number is 223578-Kilo.

- Sh*t!

I need a voice transcription of field report

November Alpha from 9-15 this year.

Agent filing:
Witherspoon, Timothy I.

And I'm in a hurry, operator.

I shouldn't have trusted you.

Field report November Alpha...

...filed 9:
00 a. M...

- Scroll.

To perform interview of subject

Isabella Zancona at the following address...

Witherspoon, you by-the-book a**hole!

I'm gonna check upstairs.

Witherspoon?

Witherspoon?

Witherspoon?

Come out!

Please don't shoot me.

Just taking out the garbage.

- I got one more trip.

- Hurry.

- We'll meet you at the front.

- Yes, ma'am.

All locked up. Where's Witherspoon?

He's in the backyard, taking out the trash.

It's coming from the back. Let's go!

- Where is it coming from?

- I don't know.

Set to go off two minutes ago.

What the hell?

Where's McMurphy?

Press here, hard. It'll slow the bleeding.

See, that's bad.

Blood's almost black.

That means the bullet's in your liver.

You got about 20 minutes to live.

If the pain gets too much,

you can take your hand away...

...and you'll be dead in five minutes.

When Declan kills you,

you think of me, okay?

I'll make a note of that.

If you see Declan...

...before you die, you tell him

that he can't protect his women.

They're all right. Let them through.

Valentina?

You'll be fine.

- Yeah.

- Hi.

It's all right, darling. You're gonna be fine.

I tried...

...to protect Isabella.

I know. You did fine.

He said to tell you...

...say...

..."You can't protect your women."

Valentina.

No, Valentina. No, don't. Valentina!

Don't go. Stay with me.

It was him, wasn't it?

I thought this was all behind us.

Is this ever gonna end?

Yes. I promise you, it will end...

...and I will end it.

Do you have a gun?

Following a low-light helicopter insertion...

...a team could infiltrate the weapon here...

...covering the northern approaches

and Route 1.

If your weapon has nearly the range

and cyclic rate you're advertising...

...it could engage

any ground vehicle and aircraft.

He doesn't have a helicopter

or a team to help him set up.

He's alone.

What do you say, Mulqueen?

Well, the only way he can make

the kill and escape is from a distance.

So we make sure you're

always secure indoors...

...with a perimeter of men

outside your location.

- And pick our battles?

- Exactly.

Tying a noose, if you like.

When he makes his move...

...we tighten the noose and we hang him.

Not exactly foolproof, I know...

...but it's the best we got.

- The best we've got?

- You have a call on line six.

- Thank you.

- This is Doug.

- Told you I'd call.

Hi. How are you?

You've just have to have

a little faith in people.

Okay. Well, okay.

Now that I've got faith...

...are you busy tonight?

You're in town, yes?

Hello?

I'm home.

I see you found the keys.

Where are you?

In the garage!

- Wow. You dyed your hair.

- Yeah.

Like it?

Yeah, sure.

You like Korean food?

Sure. Yeah.

Dig in.

I thought we were gonna...

Oh, I'm sorry.

I thought we were gonna go out.

Yeah. Maybe later.

Recapping tonight's top story...

...police are asking for your help

in locating this man.

He's wanted in connection

with a series of brutal murders.

Police believe he's in

the Washington area tonight.

The man is armed

and extremely dangerous.

If you see him, do not to approach him,

but notify authorities immediately.

You know, when I first moved here...

...I realized I was living

in someone else's house...

...and that's a huge burden.

You're invited...

...to live in the White House for four years...

You feel like a renter in a sense?

Most definitely.

With a lease that's renewable or...

John F. Kennedy said once that if

somebody wanted to kill a public official...

...they can get away with it

if they're willing to pay the price.

It's impossible to provide

Certainly.

There is no way around that,

but hopefully...

...there aren't that many people

who are willing to do that.

What?

Do you remember Valentina said,

"A statement, public and brutal."

Now, it always bothered me.

Why did he keep coming?

He knew we could protect the director,

especially once I got involved.

But he didn't abort. Why?

It didn't come together until

I remembered what he said to Valentina.

"Tell Declan he can't protect his women."

- Wasn't he referring to Isabella?

- No. Any woman. All women.

But remember, "public and brutal."

We're guarding the wrong person.

He's after the First Lady.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome.

I'm sure you're as happy

as I am to be here today.

It's been a lot of hard work for a lot of us...

...but here we are,

and we're about to celebrate.

And now it gives me great pleasure

to introduce the Surgeon General...

...of the United States.

Madam Chairperson,

ladies and gentlemen...

...I'd like to chat with you today

about the family.

She's already on the stage.

Secret Service wants to know

what's going on.

- Tell them.

- No, they'll try to get her off the stage.

If they do that,

he'll shoot off into the crowd.

We've worked long and hard

to reach our goal...

...and I must say that we have

accomplished what we set out to do...

...since we first began...

...with a seed of an idea.

It took many long and hard hours to...

Get the word?

Looking for a dark brown minivan

and anything else that's out of place.

The only minivan we found

is this red one here.

I checked it out.

They got a local parking permit...

...DC tags.

We can check it out again, if you want.

It's probably one of those safer-than-sorry,

circle-jerk type deals.

I'll see you.

You guys be safe.

Secret Service says

the search came out negative.

They're on alert,

but she's going to the podium.

Guess it's on us.

You'll need a gun.

Forget the laser. You'll have to walk me

through the optics on this thing.

I haven't shot a gun in a while.

I can see by the warm

and friendly faces out there...

...that this christening

has been long anticipated.

Thanks to all of you

who made this dream possible.

We've worked long and hard

to reach our goal...

...and I must say that we certainly have

accomplished what we set out to do.

It's proof that when we set out

to reach new heights, it can be done.

Go! Clear!

Go! Clear!

I'm going for the First Lady.

You're cleared to shoot

on the weapon or the shooter.

Ladies and gentlemen,

it gives me great pleasure...
