U.S. Marshals Page #5

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.

Found his lady.

Newman? Newman!

Where the hell is-?

- Yes?

- Marie Bineaux?

- Yes?

- U.S. Marshals.

What's this about?

Just a few questions.

May we come in?

Just a second.

Thank you.

What do you want?

You recognize this man?

Never seen him before.

[TEAPOT WHISTLING]

- Excuse me.

ROYCE:
Really?

No.

You sure about that?

Yes. Sorry.

Maybe this'll help. It's a receipt from

Chicago Memorial for a Mark Warren.

Paid in full. Is that your signature

on the bottom?

ROYCE:

We can verify your signature.

Are you here legally?

Familiar with

harboring and abetting laws?

NEWMAN:

That's five to 10 years.

ROYCE:

Then they kick you out.

Why are you threatening me like this?

Even if I knew this man...

...that's no crime.

I've done nothing wrong.

ROYCE:

Mark Roberts has.

DSS Special Agent...

...Sam Harmon.

Your friend killed him

with his bare hands.

Sam was a friend of mine.

So was Neil Kasinski.

- Neil had three little kids.

- Stop doing this to me!

I don't know anything.

I haven't heard from him and I won't.

I haven't seen him.

NEWMAN:

So you do know him.

ROYCE:
You just lied to us.

- That's a federal offense.

All right, put those things away.

That's enough. I'm sorry if we upset you.

If you have the need,

you can call me...

...at this number.

Okay?

Did you do that painting?

MARIE:
Yes.

GERARD:
It's beautiful.

You have talent.

I love the little airplane.

Heh, heh. Who took this photograph?

- A friend of mine.

- He's good.

Who said it's a he?

Nobody. I just figured.

I mean, you look so...

...happy.

Well, if that's all,

I really need to get to work.

Let's go, guys.

You're wrong about him.

How's that?

This is not a man who could've done

the things you said.

This is a ruthless killer who committed

murder and probably will again.

He'll do anything

and use anybody to escape.

I'm glad you won't see him anymore.

- That was good work, fellas.

- Yes, it was.

Uh, Newman, set up a surveillance

on Ms. Bineaux.

- Get a tap order for here and at work.

- He won't make that mistake.

He'll contact her.

I'll bet my Bears tickets.

[HORN HONKING]

RENFRO:

Sammy!

Sam, Kevin Peters...

...the guy who was out on sick leave,

must be the one who planted the gun.

Two days before the plane crash,

his sister gets 20K in her account.

- Where's he at?

- Wife says he's at the gym.

Must have been one of those

24-minute viruses.

Okay, Royce, you go with Newman.

- Get me those U.N. surveillance tapes.

- Yeah.

RENFRO:
I haven't worked out in months.

I gotta get my fat ass back to a gym.

Yeah, you're getting old.

And weak.

RENFRO:
Gym of the Living Dead, huh?

GERARD:
Yeah.

RENFRO:

Oh, hi, how you doing?

U.S. Marshals.

You see this guy around?

Mm. I think he's the last one here.

Check the showers.

RENFRO:

Great, thanks. I'll go check out over there.

[SHOwER RUNNING]

GERARD:

Kevin Peters?

Cosmo! I got a dead guy here! Come on!

Damn! The dude we just lost is the guy

who set up the zip gun hit on the plane.

I don't get this. What's the connection

between the Chinese and our fugitive?

Yeah, get me the U.S. Marshal's

office. we got a homicide.

Where's the coffee?

Somebody's calling her

on her boss' cell phone.

HENRY:

Carla, get us a lock on that call.

[BEEPS THEN LINE DIALING]

Bingo.

MARIE:
Mark, it was horrible.

The police found me.

MARK:
I knew they would.

But are you all right?

MARIE:
Yes.

MARK:
That's good.

Now, just follow the plan.

This will all be over soon.

It's gonna be all right.

We'll be together.

Video print on that.

MARK:
You have the locker key?

MARIE:
Yes.

MARK:
Good. The documents are in

a briefcase. Can you bring them to me?

MARIE:
Yeah, ofcourse.

- That's my girl.

MARK:

I love you.

MARIE:

I know.

I love you too, Mark.

Okay. I gotta go. Bye.

Okay. What have we got?

Tapes from the U.N. hit.

Five cameras. I've digitized and

synchronized them. We're ready to go.

RENFRO:

Sammy, you in here?

We caught a break.

Henry intercepted a long-distance call

from Roberts to his girlfriend.

We're getting the location

on the cell site.

Excellent.

Okay, roll them.

HOLT:

Okay. Here we go.

Who's that?

ROYCE:
That's Kasinski.

- Who's Kasinski?

My fellow agent,

the one that was killed.

GERARD:

And a mystery guest.

I assume it's Mr. Roberts.

Stop the tape.

Put that on the big screen.

Move in close.

- Bingo.

- Holy sh*t. Sammy...

...that's the Chinaman from the gym.

Mr. Slice-and-Dice. Print it.

- Huh.

GERARD:
All right, move on.

Mr. Slice-and-Dice and our

mystery man have a bag exchange here.

RENFRO:
What do you think is in the bag?

I'll bet it's not his dirty laundry.

GERARD:

Your friends are intercepting this.

- What do you know?

ROYCE:
I don't know anything.

Hey, Carla. Carla, Screen 6.

Yeah. Who's that?

Move it over to the big screen.

Blow it up.

Okay, back it up.

Go forward.

ROYCE:

That's Agent Harmon.

RENFRO:

Ooh. Whoa.

GERARD:
Lamb said they were killed in

cold blood. That looks like self-defense.

What's going on?

GERARD:
It doesn't look like

the story Lamb told us.

Freeze that.

Put that on the big screen.

Move in on the briefcase.

Cosmo, how did they say

they connected our man to this crime?

File said it was a fingerprint match.

Yeah. Move in. Fingerprint match.

Did they find his gloves in a garbage

can and turn them inside out?

RENFRO:

Sh*t.

Print it up.

We gotta go to New York.

WALSH:
What the hell are these?

And what's in New York?

A rat.

[SIGHS]

WALSH:
Now listen, Sam,

I'll do the talking, okay?

Don't get up, Mr. Lamb.

You make a better target sitting down.

Do I take it this visit

is not to deliver our fugitive?

WALSH:
Not with the horseshit

you've been handing us.

Excuse me?

John Doe's fingerprints

you had planted at the scene.

Want the illustrated version?

Would you excuse us,

gentlemen, please?

[MEN MURMURING]

- Where'd you get these photographs?

- Off U.N. surveillance tapes.

That is highly-classified material.

- You know anything about this, Barrows?

- I'll look into it.

Tell you what I'd look into

is how you got those fingerprints.

Let me save you the trouble. You had them

on file because the guy works for you.

- Is that right or wrong?

- We want information...

...or I'll go Washington.

LAMB:

The man you know as Mark Roberts...

...is in fact Mark Sheridan...

...ex-U.S. Marine special forces,

ex-CIA black ops, recruited by us...

...and until last year,

one of our kites in New York.

- Kite?

- Somebody who does our dirty work...

...without official connection.

If something goes wrong,

the string's cut, he's on his own.

Somewhere along the line,

Sheridan went bad.

We got this from the same tapes.

Who is he?

Hm.

Xian Chen, People's Republic of China,

"cultural attache" to the U.N.

In fact, a member of Chinese intel.

For the past two years,

we've known there was a mole...

...in the State Department,

selling secrets to China.

We suspected Chen was the contact
