BARROWS:

Tail on Chen led us to Sheridan.

Agents Kasinski and Harmon

were supposed to...

...intercept an exchange between

Chen and Sheridan at the U.N. garage.

It went south.

Sheridan was better than we were.

Well, better than us all.

Why did you keep all this from us?

Oh. Very simple. Need to know.

We believed you'd quickly apprehend him

and we'd sort the issue out internally.

Seems our confidence in

Deputy Gerard was sorely misplaced.

He allowed Sheridan to escape...

...and managed to get himself shot

in the process.

I admit it was wrong

to withhold information from you...

...but the fact remains,

Sheridan killed those agents.

He's still at large.

He's armed, he's dangerous.

Until we have him, we won't know

the extent of the leak.

Now you have your precious information.

What do you intend to do?

Catch him.

Got you, you son of a b*tch.

I want surveillance

on the Chinese consulate.

I checked the New York office.

They're setting it up now.

Not bad for government work.

No. Black canvas bag.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

I'm wearing the clothes on my back.

NEWMAN:
Hey.

- Hey.

- Three hours late.

- We came into La Guardia.

- Oh, hi, Sam. It's nice to see you too.

RENFRO:
Right. Right. Look...

...I came with four other people...

- Whose food is this?

- Go ahead.

RENFRO:

Well, see what you can do, please.

Cosmo, you look so sad. Miss me?

No. No, I miss my new Armani jacket,

my shirts, ties...

...everything.

You know, I hate this place already.

[WOMAN SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY

OVER PA]

- Sam? We're at O'Hare.

GERARD:
Yeah, what's up?

Marie just retrieved a briefcase

from a long-term locker.

- She bought a ticket to-

- New York.

- What about the cell phone trace?

- Just got it. Narrowed down to Manhattan.

Third Avenue and 42nd Street.

Get on the plane with her, Henry.

Our New York guys'll meet you at JFK.

Third Avenue and 42nd.

We're going to work.

Get your stuff. We're neighbors with

Mark Sheridan. Let's go, look alive!

RENFRO:
Listen up.

Our fugitive is in a four-block area...

...between 42nd and 46th Street,

1 st and 3rd Avenue.

Do a full-target search.

DOORMAN:
What can I do foryou?

NEWMAN:
Seen this guy?

Uh... No, no, sorry.

NEWMAN:

He might have changed his appearance.

Uh... No. wait.

Wait a minute, let me see that.

I've seen a guy that looks like that.

Rented an apartment here a few days ago.

NEWMAN:
This guy?

- Yup.

- You're sure?

- Didn't I just say that?

- Give me a line.

- What's going on?

Sam, I got him.

Police! Nobody move!

BIGGS:
He's gone.

- Nobody home.

The dressing room's back there.

Thank you.

RENFRO:

This guy likes his toys.

- Whoa, mama.

- Wow.

RENFRO:
Good picture quality.

GERARD:
Turn it off.

[RENFRO SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY]

Hey, isn't that the Chinese consulate?

MARIE:

Mark.

Okay, baby.

We don't have much time.

They're outside.

- Did you bring it?

- Yes.

- Henry?

- Henry.

- Where's the girl?

- Saks. She's trying on a dress.

She's not trying on a dress.

He's in there with her. Get in there.

Right now!

Yes?

Excuse me, ma'am.

Just looking for a shoplifter.

HENRY:
Sam?

- Henry?

We checked the changing room.

No sign of Sheridan. Girl's on her own.

Stay with her. whatever you do,

do not lose her.

Sam.

Unbelievable.

ROYCE:

We're all looking for the same guy.

Sam, it's Cooper. I got Chen.

He's leaving the consulate.

There he is.

GERARD:

Watch his apartment.

If we got Chen,

Sheridan won't be far behind him.

All right, let's hit the road.

Cooper, Biggs'll pick you up.

Newman, we found Chen.

He just left the Chinese consulate.

I see him. In pursuit.

He's getting in a cab.

Where are you guys? where are you?

Heading west on 51 st Street.

We'll lose him. Where are you?

[HORN HONKS]

GERARD:

Tired of waiting on you!

GERARD:
That cab on the left.

He's stopping.

RENFRO:

I got him.

GERARD:
Sheridan could be anywhere.

Stay alive.

Cosmo, Royce, take the left.

Newman, with me on the right. Move.

GERARD:
Stay on Chen.

RENFRO:
We're right behind him.

Heads up.

Guy in the green watch cap...

- ... with a briefcase, looking at Chen.

- Green cap, green cap.

What the hell is a watch cap?

Is it Sheridan?

GERARD:
No, but grab him when he crosses.

- Yeah, yeah. We got him.

Hold it, back off!

GERARD:
Watch cap just changed bags

with Chen. You follow Chen.

I'll follow that bag.

Bag's gotta be the bait.

Taxi! Taxi!

Taxi!

NEWMAN:
Out of the car!

MAN:
Hey!

What the hell?

What are you doing? Hey!

[TIRES SCREECHING]

[HORNS HONKING]

Biggs, Cooper. We are headed north

on 3rd in a silver Cadillac.

BIGGS:

We'll find you, Sam.

- Got him up there on the left?

- Yeah.

GERARD:
Cooper, you with me?

I'm on the 59th Street Bridge.

COOPER:
We're with you.

Just coming onto the bridge now.

GERARD:

You still got Chen?

RENFRO:
We're following him, he's

pulling into the Chinese consulate.

- Would you mind not lighting that?

- Yes.

GERARD:
What the hell's he doing

at the graveyard?

Biggs, park here and cover this gate.

BIGGS:

Got that, Sam.

NEWMAN:

Looks like he's heading for that chapel.

- Well, he's not going in there to pray.

- No, sir.

[ENGINE STARTS]

Biggs, a cab's leaving the cemetery.

Have N.Y.P.D. pick it up.

BIGGS:

Got that, Sam.

NEWMAN:

What's going on?

I don't know.

I bet Sheridan does, though.

Sam. We're at the Chinese consulate.

No sign of Chen since he went

inside. What should we do?

Put the N.Y.P.D. on him. I want you and

Royce here now at Queens Hill Cemetery.

Where's Queens Hill Cemetery?

Ask a cop.

- You know?

- I can get us there. Put it out.

Throw it out. Thank you.

So, what do we do now?

We wait.

BIGGS:

You know...

...our day could be worse, right?

COOPER:

Whoa, is that...?

Right there.

BIGGS:

It's Barrows. What's he doing here?

Sam, you won't believe...

...who just arrived

in a funeral procession.

Agent Barrows. He's in a silver Lumina

about seven or eight cars back.

- You got him?

NEWMAN:
Yeah.

- Think he's here for a funeral?

- No.

- Right this way.

- Biggs, cover the west side of the chapel.

Got you, Sam.

MAN:

Yes, ma'am. The family's right here.

Cosmo, where you at?

[HORNS HONKING]

I'm in traffic in New York City,

where do you think? We're on our way!

Go inside, be sure

there's no way out the back.

MINlSTER:

"The Lord is my rock...

...and my fortress...

...and my deliverer,

my God, my strength...

...in whom I will trust.

My buckler and the horn

of my salvation...

...and my high tower.

I will call upon the Lord,

who is worthy to be praised...

...so shall I be saved from mine enemies.

The sorrows of death compassed me...

...and the floods of ungodly men

made me afraid.

The sorrows of hell

compassed me about.

The snares of death... "

All right, people, pay attention.

We got Sheridan.

Front of the chapel.

Let him go inside.

Will you move?!

See the lights?

[GROANS]

Son of a b*tch,

why'd you do it?!
