U.S. Marshals

Synopsis: When a prisoner transport plane crashes, one prisoner, Mark Sheridan, skillfully escapes and saves lives at the same time. Deputy Sam Gerard and his team of U.S. Marshals pursue relentlessly, but Gerard begins to suspect that there is more to the exceptional fugitive than what he has been told. Meanwhile, Sheridan struggles to avoid capture while seeking answers of his own. Until the final scene, both Gerard and Sheridan are in jeopardy of the unknown.

[MUMBLES]

Mark.

Oh, Mark. What happened?

Don't worry, baby.

It's not as bad as it looks.

Yeah, but your neck, your arm.

I got a plate there from an old injury,

so they put that on as a precaution.

- Okay.

I don't know what happened.

I'm driving the truck to base.

I was upside down in the cab.

Oh. Then you were very lucky.

You have no idea.

COP:

Mr. Warren?

Officer Porter,

thanks for your help.

I'm sorry, you're under arrest.

This is no joke.

Come on. We'll straighten it out

down at the station.

WOMAN:

Step aside, ma'am.

[CHATTERING AND LAUGHING]

- Hey, Cosmo. This one's on me.

- About time, you cheap bastard.

As long as I live, if I never see Gerard

in yellow tights again...

...I'll die a happy man.

- Hey fellas, look. Look, you're on TV.

- Hey.

Hey, hey, hey. Look at us! we're on TV!

[ALL SHOUTING INDISTINCTLY]

We're on TV. Make it louder!

REPORTER [ON TV]:

The Conroy brothers were brought...

...to the courthouse

for an extradition hearing.

When he grabbed you by the throat,

I thought I'd take a dump.

- I did. I had to go change my underwear.

- Oh, man.

Hey, look at my head! Twenty-seven

stitches! All because of this scumbag!

Twenty-seven stitches, my ass!

During the raid,

both brothers were wounded.

The Conroys made allegations...

- ... of excessive force...

- Sam.

...particularly against senior

Deputy Marshal Samuel Gerard.

I don't look like that. That guy's ugly.

Hey, Sammy, nice suit. She'll have

a martini and we'll take a check.

- Who died?

- Shut up.

- three Tennessee

state corrections officers dead.

Reporting from the federal courthouse,

Stacia Vela.

Reporting for Channel 2 News, Chicago.

Ladies and gentlemen,

the United States Marshals!

[ALL CHEERING]

Ladies and gentlemen, put your hands

together for the U.S. Marshal Service.

ALL:

Speech! Speech!

Noah Newman, Cosmo Renfro,

Savannah Cooper, Bobby Biggs!

You guys are, without doubt,

the sorriest excuse...

...for a warrant squad

I ever worked with.

[ALL CHUCKLE]

But nobody got hurt.

It's probably important.

- And you stayed close on the lead dog.

- Woof!

- Which means you get to keep working.

RENFRO:
Get paid too?

A round for this group here,

and a double milk for this kid.

Mr. Warren. We seem

to have a small discrepancy.

MARK:

Let me help you with that.

Um, that's not me.

You caught that. Uh, you're aware it's

illegal to carry a handgun in Chicago?

Come on.

You ever try towing a car on the

Dan Ryan at 3 a. m. without a handgun?

What about East 42nd,

1 st Avenue in New York City?

- What about it?

- Ever been there?

- No.

- Never?

- Never.

- Oh.

Then you wouldn't know about the double

homicide took place there last December?

Obviously not.

That's interesting.

Because the prints we took off you...

...flagged this.

Federal arrest warrant for Mark Roberts.

Prints from the crime scene

match yours.

Uh-uh. This is bullshit. This is bullshit.

Let me talk to a lawyer.

Don't touch me.

CALDWELL:

You'll get a lawyer...

...at your extradition hearing!

You're going back to New York.

Back? I've never been to New York! I don't

know nothing about a double homicide.

Get him out of here.

You'll have plenty of time

to explain that in New York.

MARK:

You got the wrong man.

CALDWELL:
Get him out of here.

MARK:
You're making a mistake.

CALDWELL:

Thanks.

- There, Mark Warren. What's going on?

- I don't know.

MARIE:

Why is it taking so long?

SERGEANT:

It's still being processed.

MARIE:

Mark! Mark!

OFFICER:
Whoa, whoa. Hold it there.

- Mark! Unh. Mark!

Marie, it's okay. It's okay.

- What's happening?

- Just a little mistaken identity.

Where are they taking you?

Just be cool, baby.

Everything's gonna be fine.

[CHATTERING]

[CLASSICAL MUSIC

- Yeah, well.

[ALL LAUGH]

WOMAN 2:

Oh, hi.

Hello, deputy. I'm surprised you made it.
