The Jackal Page #6

...to introduce the First Lady

of the United States.

It's a beautiful day

for the beginning of New Hope.

All right. Go!

Give me the gun.

So that's how he plans to get out.

The phone, give me your phone.

But also right now...

...there are police officers

risking their very lives...

...to help kids stay out of trouble

and off drugs.

But also right now,

there are dedicated teachers...

...preparing lessons for a new day's class.

- Red minivan, hillside by the trees.

- One o'clock.

- Jesus.

- Range it.

...but values his family.

Right. I'm after him.

You take out the minivan.

Move it! Go!

Coming through!

Look out! Coming through!

- Excuse me.

- Watch it, man!

Please stand clear of the doors.

No!

Sh*t!

The next train departing Capitol Heights...

Help me, please!

Help me!

- Say, "Help me, Declan."

- Help me, Declan.

Help me, Declan!

Please help!

Please, Declan, help me!

Please help me!

Louder!

- Help me, Declan!

- Help me, Declan!

Now tell him where I'm aiming the gun.

Good girl.

What are you gonna do, Declan?

You just can't seem to protect

any of your women.

Let her go.

She has nothing to do with this.

Now, you can save this girl.

- What's your name?

- Maggie.

You can save Maggie, you see?

You can save her right now.

You just have to put down your little gun.

Okay?

No!

Go ahead. Take a shot.

Oh, Maggie, you did so good.

You're slipping, Declan.

Now let her go.

Step away from the gun.

Step away from the gun!

Maggie, Maggie.

You're so brave.

You'll remember this

for the rest of your life.

Kneel down.

Kneel down.

Sorry, Declan.

It's all right. It's okay.

It's okay.

It's finished.

I wonder if we'll ever know...

...who the hell he really was.

We know all we need to. He was evil...

...he's dead and he's gone.

Nothing more matters.

Sorry they didn't give you your pardon.

You'll get minimum security.

It's like a country club.

By the way,

Director Brown sends his warmest thanks.

Oh, that's nice.

Look forward to playing tennis with him.

Did I tell you I'm going back to Russia?

And I'm going to stay until Terek Murad

rots in prison or in the grave.

She'd appreciate that.

I think so.

And Isabella?

Back safe with her family.

For good.

I know about that key she gave you.

I know you could have used it

to take off any time you wanted to.

You've got one of those

drop boxes, too, like the Jackal?

Did you read the paper today?

I'm quite the hero because of you.

The agent who saved the First Lady.

I could screw everything else up

for the rest of my life and still be...

...untouchable.

That a fact, then?

Going back to the drop box:

An operative with your experience...

...with a clean passport...

...a wad of cash.

I'll bet if you had taken off...

...we never would have found you.

Do you drink coffee?

Oh, no, that's right.

They drink Guinness in Ireland.

I'll ask across the street.

See if they've got any.

Coffee, I mean.

I'll be back in...

...thirty minutes, okay?

Thanks, Declan, for everything.

No, thank you.
