U.S. Marshals Page #7

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.

This is Unit 115. We're en route

Multiple gunshot wounds to the chest.

ETA:
five minutes.

PARAMEDIC 1:
Hey, partner,

can you hear me? Can you hear me?

His name is Noah.

PARAMEDIC 1:

Are you sure he's here? Is he here?

[CHATTERING]

This is Linda Carlton outside

the U.S. Mission to the U.N.

Many details are still unclear,

but we can now confirm...

...that Special Agent Frank Barrows...

...was killed at Queens Hill Cemetery

during a stakeout...

...to capture fugitive Mark Sheridan,

the prime suspect in two murders...

...at the U.N. six months ago.

Though unconfirmed

by the diplomatic security service...

...sources report Barrows

may be implicated...

...with Sheridan in selling top-secret

documents to the Chinese government.

Deputy U.S. Marshal Noah Newman

was also killed...

...as Sheridan eluded police

in a spectacular escape...

...leaping onto the roof of a

moving subway, then stealing a car...

He won't say anything except "diplomatic

immunity. " All we can do is deport him.

Antonio Kimber, one of our kites,

said he was instructed...

...to make the exchange.

Phone records check out.

He was paged from Barrows'

office this morning.

He didn't cheat, he didn't lie.

He didn't use me.

I let him go.

CARLTON:
A potential breach

of national security, as this story develops.

- Linda Carlton, News 2.

ANCHORMAN:
Thank you, Linda.

More news in less time every time.

WALSH:

Sam?

Sam, I'm so sorry.

[SIGHS]

Sam, we found an abandoned car...

...in a park on the Jersey side of the

Holland Tunnel. This was on the seat.

Guess what. We got half a latent.

Sheridan's right index.

Good work, Henry.

MAN:

Something I can help you find?

Tetralezine...

...for motion sickness.

[PHONE RINGS]

- Hello?

GERARD:
Cosmo?

- Where the hell are you? Kim?

- Put Kim on.

Line 2. Hold on.

- Kim.

- Any ships leaving...

- ... where we found the car?

- Only freighters and containers.

- Any with passenger berths?

- I don't know. I'll check.

RENFRO:

Sozel Shipping has a freighter.

The Utviken, loading grain in Bayonne.

It's leaving tonight.

Three passengers, no names.

Immigration didn't require it.

It's heading up through Canada.

- Can you get me a helicopter?

- You got it.

Where's he going?

- Wait. I'll call Bayonne P.D. for backup.

- I don't need them.

- I'll go with you.

- No.

What's the matter with you?

Look, Sam, you can't do this.

I know how you feel,

I loved that kid too.

But this is wrong.

- I'm telling you this as a friend.

- I'm not your friend.

Fine. Forget it.

You wanna kill Sheridan,

go ahead, you do it.

But remember this: You forget

everything you taught me about this job.

The rules, the regulations, the code.

You do this, and it's all about you.

It's not about Newman. It's about you.

The great Sam Gerard.

Yes, I am.

And you always have to win.
