You owe me an answer.

Tell me.

Hick?

I assassinated the Libyan dictator

two weeks before the invasion.

A black op, on the President's orders.

Her last-ditch effort to avoid war.

He's dead'?

I watched his head explode.

But the Libyans put in a double,

like we knew they would.

But the Generals told the President

that my mission was a failure.

Thatcher wanted war.

And you're the loose end.

The only one besides them

who knows the truth.

I can't believe it.

This whole shitty war is about

killing someone who's already dead.

- Why didn't you try and say something?

- I didn't have any proof.

- But at your trial you could've...

- Who would you believe?

A psychopathic killer

of women and children,

or four-star generals?

We've got to deal with

that tracking device

or we'll never even

make it out of the county.

Wrap this around you.

Will this work'?

If it doesn't, it's been nice

seeing you again, Commander.

Likewise, Commander.

Sorry I got angry before.

It's a lot to take in.

Somethings still bothering me.

Why did Thatcher tell you

I was innocent?

He never does anything without a reason.

I'll be sure to ask him,

right before I kill him.

Go back to sleep

while I find us a motel.

Whatever happens, thank you.

You're welcome, Rick.

I don't care if his tumor

is having a triple f***ing bypass,

you tell his people

if I don't speak with General Thatcher

in the next 15 minutes,

he's gonna wish he was dead.

GENERAL THATCHER, ON PHONE:

Good morning, Meredith.

Where is he, General?

I'm not too bad, thank you for asking.

Don't f*** with me, Thatcher.

Where's my Turkey?

Calm down, Meredith,

I've got my best people on it.

Don't patronise me, you a**hole.

I know you're behind this.

I thought we had a deal.

I had nothing to do with it.

One of my people went rogue.

These things happen.

This is television, Chuck,

nothing happens on television -

not on my network.

We'll find him, Meredith.

You have my word on that.

If I don't get him back

within the next 12 hours, General,

that cancer of yours

is going to have to get in line,

because I will f***ing bury you.

Knee reconstruction - metal pins.

Nothing there?

Keep moving, soldier.

Bullet.

Metal plate.

Roll over.

Anything there?

Not that I know of.

Found it.

You ready?

This is gonna hurt you

a lot more than me.

F***!

Gotcha.

Now...

hold still.

32 seconds - you manipulate it

well, my dear, like part of your body.

It is my own design.

Yes, a very nice piece.

And what did you bring

for the hunt, Tito?

Something excessive, I imagine.

Of course, my dear.

After all, excess is what makes

life worth living for people like us.

If I had more men like you

in the department,

I wouldn't have all these problems

with these blasted deviants.

MAN, ON TV':
Yes, sir. Kill 'em.

No fancy stuff - just kill 'em all.

- What took you so long?

- The ultimate solution.

- Food, clothes.

- You're a sharp man.

And I got us a car.

MAN, ON TV:
Anything you want, sir,

just let me know.

Hitler...

Are you having any?

I'm gonna take a shower.

It's an amazing twist

in an amazing game, Tom.

You said it, Teena.

The Turkey's gone and the hunt is on!

And just who is this mysterious

blonde bombshell helping him?

She's been identified

as Commander Jillian Wilson,

a fellow Navy SEAL and an ace

chopper pilot - as if we didn't know!

And check the live stats, people.

Rick Tyler's approval rating

is off the charts.

Wow!

You guys are really liking this Turkey.

We all love a man

who can take charge, Tom.

But let's not forget

what Rick Tyler is, Teena -

a cold-blooded killer

of innocent women and children.

Even battle-hardened veterans

were shocked by the insane bloodlust

exhibited in one of the worst rogue

killing sprees ever seen in combat.

That single act of merciless carnage,

perpetrated against unarmed...

For three years,

I thought that f*** was me.

I remember the kids, the village

and waking up in a hospital in Germany.

I can't remember the massacre.

But I knew I was guilty.

Now you know the truth.

Being innocent doesn't matter.

Knowing you can do it...

I've killed a lot of people, Jill,

and felt nothing.

Maybe I don't have a heart.

Which hospital is he in'?

There is no way

I'm taking you there.

The place will be crawling

with security.

That's never stopped me before.

Don't be crazy.

Thatcher's not worth it.

I wanna see him.

I mean it, Rick, it's too dangerous.

Just forget the General.

Let's disappear.

You realise he's planned

this whole thing.

- He wants me to get to him.

- Bullshit.

He knows you, Jill, and he knows me.

He knew you'd do something.

He's crippled and helpless.

You know what that means for

a guy like him? He's already in hell.

Killing him is just doing him a favor.

I'm not gonna kill him -

it's not about revenge anymore.

Then what's it about?

I don't know.

Sh*t!

F***!

Hold On!

Breaking news this hour.

I'm Pete Sanchez.

Chaos in the downtown tunnels

as authorities pursue a high-speed chase

causing a score of pile-ups

and creating gridlock across the city.

Police say the vehicle,

believed to contain the mass murderer

whose dramatic escape from Turkey Shoot

has amazed the world,

has been lost

in the serpentine transit system.

Crossing now to the network's

eye in the sky for live developments.

Here's Gina Jones.

Thanks, Pete.

The network can report

that the chase is back on,

after the

pale-or white-colored vehicle,

believed to contain escaped Turkey

Rick Tyler and his beautiful accomplice,

dramatically reappeared at the L21 exit.

WOMAN, OVER PA:
Dr Schwartz,

please report to Oncology.

SEAL Commander

Jillian Wilson surrendered to police

after a crash ended the chase.

But the convicted mass murderer

remains at large this hour,

as a manhunt continues downtown.

It is believed

Turkey Shoot escapee Rick Tyler

exited somewhere

in the cover of the tunnel system

when the vehicle was lost

for over 20 minutes.

Authorities...

I've been expecting you, son.

I know. Why'?

Can't a dying old man say he's sorry?

F*** you.

The President's mission was impossible.

You were meant to fail.

I cannot let World War Africa

be my legacy.

It has got to end.

And here you are.

We buried your mission, Commander,

but we couldn't bury you.

You're too good a soldier.

I have got the blood of millions

on my hands.

I'd like the chance

to wash a little of it off.

I'm sending you

on one last mission, soldier.

What the f*** makes you think

I'd do anything for you?

Because you can end this war

and you can clear your name.

Unit 226, rails bag storage downtown.

Three years ago,

I stashed a little insurance policy

and now it's time to cash it in.

I'd do it myself,

but you know as well as I do

I'm not gonna leave this room alive.

Hubris, Commander.

I went to bed

the most powerful man in the country

and woke up wearing a f***in' diaper.

Don't worry - I can't feel it.
