going on in here, is there?

I don't know.

Mr. Henke's application seemed

to indicate he was a solid citizen.

Yeah, listen.

Did he look like this?

I wouldn't know.

I never met him.

- His secretary runs the suite.

- That makes sense.

- Look at these.

- Yeah.

Some kind of connection here.

Commies go home! Commies go home!

Stop the war machine!

Peace is patriotic!

- Excuse me, Governor Thompson.

- Governor Thompson.

The guy in the black jacket,

in the stocking cap.

Right there.

I think that's Walter Henke.

If we get separated, meet at my house.

I'll rip your heads off,

you motherfuckers.

You want more?

Hey, Sonny! Sonny!

Come on, Henke, we're out of here.

Move it back! Move!

Break it up!

Get out of here.

It's all clear down here.

- All the exits are covered?

- Right over here, sir.

It's over here to the left.

I'll take that here, sir.

Pardon, miss.

Press credentials only.

My husband's waiting inside for me.

I'm sorry, miss.

I'm just doing my job.

They put Henke in a squad car.

They probably took him to 11th Street.

Let's get over there.

- Where's Eileen?

- She went into the hotel.

If you wanna get this guy Henke alone,

I gotta pull him quick.

Eileen can take care of herself.

She'll get in touch through Betty.

Good to see you, Lieutenant.

You don't need a partner, do you?

Lucky to be in here. There's a bunch

of f***in' wackos out there.

Albert, come on, man.

We ain't got all day.

Come on, Albert.

All right, everybody up.

I need to see everybody here.

- Is this everybody you brought in?

- They were all brought here.

The guy you're lookin' for

must have got away.

Sh*t.

He should've been here.

Maybe they took him somewhere else.

- You'll get him, Lieutenant.

- Listen, thanks.

No problem. Adis.

- Lieutenant Delich?

- Yeah.

I'm Richards from Intelligence.

One of our undercover guys,

Tony Maruss, says you know him.

He asked me to tell you he's got

something for you on a guy named Terez.

He wants to meet you tonight, 11:00,

some joint called...

the New Yankee Grill

over on Wilson Avenue.

- You know where it's at?

- No, but I'll find it. Thanks.

Hello, Tony.

Who's this?

He's with the state's attorney.

Let's get a booth.

Hey, I don't know the man.

You know me, don't you?

The f***in' guy's with me. Come on.

You think I'm bringin'

f***in' Al Capone in here?

I wanna see some identification.

- Coffee, gentlemen?

- Yeah.

He's undercover.

He's not carrying identification.

- Drugs?

- Rackets.

Don't he talk?

Okay. What do you got for me?

- You were told I got something for you?

- Yeah.

- We've been set up.

- Let's get out of here.

- How many were there?

- I counted three. What do you think?

Yeah.

All right, police.

It's all over with.

- Is he dead?

- Yeah.

You crazy son of a b*tch!

- You all right?

- Get him, John.

Up!

- Back, back.

- Anything you want, buddy.

Call an ambulance! Now!

Go on!

You okay, pal?

Hey, Johnny, walk away, man.

- I can't do that.

- Go on, get out of here.

No, no.

Just hold on. Hold on.

- I'll come and see you.

- Be careful.

I will.

That's him.

I'll see you at the hospital.

- Come on, folks. Show's over.

- Okay, let's go!

Don't move, you son of a b*tch.

Hey, wait a minute.

I want to talk to you.

Yeah, sure.

You can talk to everybody.

- Come on!

- The army wants to talk to you.

Arlington, Virginia Police

want to talk to you.

A lot of people looking for you, pal.

Sergeant John Gallagher,

you're coming with us.

- Wait a minute.

- You're coming with us!

- Who the hell are these guys?

- Let's go!

- Get in the car!

- I wanna talk to you a second.

In the car!

We're gonna have two cars

on Michigan and Balbo...

two on 8th and Michigan,

and five more outside the arrival car.

The Secret Service is gonna have

sharpshooters on the roof.

I want a man up there with a radio.

All days off are cancelled,

and no time due.

Tell Crededio to get healthy.

Merryweather.

Take 'em around the corner

and show 'em the side.

Hey, Chicago, are you ready

for treaty-lock?

If you're traveling in the downtown area

tomorrow, traffic is gonna be murder...

from O'Hare all the way into the Loop.

The president and Soviet premier are

gonna make Christmas shopping harder.

- The president.

- Blind him.

So what do you think of the treaty?

All lines are open for your calls.

Let's hear whether

you're for or against the treaty.

- I've got a caller on line one.

- Hello, Ira? This is Nick from Cicero.

- Did he talk to you?

- No, they've got him sedated.

- But he's okay?

- So they say.

- Do they know anything?

- Nobody knows anything.

Milan was in a gunfight...

some narcotic thing.

A lot of men were hurt.

Detectives are waiting to talk to Milan.

- But Johnny?

- I don't know, Eileen.

He'll call you here, won't he?

The only question, I think,

remaining now...

is what gamble he has made here with...

...the strongest force in the Soviet

Union after the Communist Party.

First-class accommodations, Sarge.

Hug the post.

Hit the ground.

Right hand.

Nothing but the best for you, Sarge.

Have a good night.

What you got to eat around here?

Why'd you bring him here?

Where the f*** else we gonna take him?

We keep him here until

they tell us what they want done.

Brilliant.

Clear.

- Is there plating behind the podium?

- Yes, sir. That came in last night.

Put a man in the booth

behind that follow spot.

The field office

will provide another agent.

They're airborne.

- Better get to O'Hare.

- Agent Clark.

Target acquisition photos.

Right, Tom?

Who are you working for?

Johnny, that information

is privileged and confidential.

I can tell you it pays very well.

Who? Who pays you?

Everybody pays me.

I'm a public servant.

You're a walking zero.

You're a walking f***ing zero!

The president and general secretary

have arrived here...

at the University of Chicago

on the second leg...

of their historic journey meant

to signal the end of the nuclear threat.

The two leaders are placing a wreath

at the memorial here on the campus...

near the spot where Enrico Fermi

and a team of dedicated scientists...

first cracked the atom,

opening the way...

not only for the use of nuclear energy

for peaceful purposes...

but for the creation of the horrible

weapons of mass destruction...

that the Soviet and American treaty

now aims to eliminate.

Accompanying the president

and his Soviet counterpart...

is the secretary of state

and members of...

the Soviet and American

negotiating teams.

From here, the leaders will ride

together to the Hilton Hotel...

on the Chicago lakefront

to tell a meeting...

of the National Governor's Conference

that the signing of the treaty...

will launch a new era

of political, economic...

and cultural cooperation

between the superpowers...

and a new era of peace

for the world.

- Where the f*** are you going?

- His girlfriend.

- Think you can handle old Sarge?
