XIII: The Conspiracy Page #2

Meanwhile, President Galbrain

and his administration

have made no progress

in their investigation of

the assassination.

My sister was a great leader.

She served our country.

She deserves more.

The American people deserve more.

They deserve security.

And that's why I'm running

for this presidency.

T o take up my sister's legacy.

Because whether you are a Republican,

whether you're a Democrat,

this election comes down

to one key issue.

Who do you trust to keep you safe?

So in your opinion the current

administration is...

Cut it off.

He should be ashamed.

Invoking Sally's name,

capitalizing on her death.

It's terrible.

Yes, but it's working.

And if we don't counter Sheridan

is going to slaughter us at the polls.

Sheridan lost his sister.

Do you think hitting him with attack ads

is going to make us look good?

No, but it could hurt him.

Raise doubts.

Get the public talking about

something other

than the attacks and the assassination.

Gentlemen,

I want to make myself very clear.

Sally Sheridan was more

than just the president;

she was a friend.

If I lose this election

I will not lose it

on account of doing nothing.

I will not be remembered as the president

who let the killer

slip through his fingers.

Now, Colonel,

what's it going to take?

Access. Support resources.

I need your administration to

stay out of my way.

This runs deep.

I need a big shovel.

Okay.

Whatever it takes.

Just bring me the shooter.

Pronto.

Pronto?

Pronto.

A fight between rival factions along

the Israeli-Syrian border

initial reports...

Israeli jet fighters bombed

a guerrilla base killing

at least 49 soldiers.

I checked the news.

There's no reports of

any planes crashing in the area.

Well, it hasn't been that long.

We should wait until tomorrow.

Maybe something will turn up.

He can't stay here.

Why not?

You know that

bullet you fished out of him?

It's T eflon-coated.

Meaning it's designed to

pierce body armour.

It wasn't a hunting accident, Martha.

He fell from the sky

with two bullets in him.

He's dangerous.

Well, he's no threat to us, Abe.

I mean he can barely move.

You saw him.

I also saw his tattoo.

It's either a gang sign

or a prison tattoo.

For all we know he might have

killed somebody already.

Well, I just think we should

let him wake up

and explain himself.

That's all.

Why won't you let me call the police?

What is it you're afraid of?

Nothing.

You're afraid

they're going to take him away.

Oh, don't be ridiculous.

He's not a replacement.

I know that.

Then why are you getting involved?

I'm sorry, Martha.

Do you hear that?

Hey, hold on.

Hey!

Hey, where are you going?

Who are you?

Here, drink this.

Wait a minute. Where am I?

You're in Bomont, West Virginia.

I'm Martha. This is my husband, Abe.

You bailed out of a plane over the woods.

Do you remember anything?

No.

Oh think, son.

You must remember something.

I don't remember anything.

Amnesia?

I don't know.

That kind of trauma to the head combined

with the blood loss

from the shoulder wound...

it could cause memory loss, yeah.

There was a computer upstairs.

Is it working?

You don't have Internet?

No. We haven't had this thing on for

more than a year.

They must have disconnected it.

Do you know if they took the modem?

The what?

I got it.

Internet techs are notoriously lazy.

Looks like they just blocked

your hardware I D

from accessing the network.

Yeah. Let's see if that does it.

You can't even remember your own name.

How do you manage to do that?

I have no idea.

Emergency crews still clearing debris

from the McCarran Airport Tunnel,

site of this morning's bombing in Nevada.

So far at least eight people

have been confirmed dead

with dozens more believed to

be trapped inside.

President Galbrain is presently

en route to Las Vegas

where he is scheduled to deliver

a live address this evening.

Meanwhile, Republican nominee,

Wally Sheridan, speaking from a campaign

stop in Cincinnati,

Ohio had this reaction...

These enemy strikes weaken us

in the eyes of the world

and strengthens the resolve of those

who hate us.

This country has fallen prey to

a small group of foreign extremists

who are holding us hostage

through violence and fear.

We can't give into that fear.

Where have you been?

Oh, I had to attend to a few things.

You smell like smoke.

I don't know whether

you're right about this man,

but whoever he is there are

people who want him dead.

And we'd better make sure

they don't find him.

Any luck?

No.

Well, maybe this can

provide some answers.

I found it inside your watch.

Looks like some kind of

memory card.

In my watch.

Why would I have this?

I've seen what you're capable of,

the things you're capable of.

What do you mean?

We took a bullet out of your shoulder

and stitched up your head.

You must have lost about three pints,

but when I came up on you,

you took me down faster

than I could blink.

Now just listen.

I've served in the corps.

Did a couple of tours in Nam.

I know how to handle myself.

But you, you're a different breed.

Now you want to find out who you are

and I can't help you with that.

But I can tell you what you are.

What am I then?

You're the kind of person who

bails out of a plane all shot up.

The kind of person who

can take a couple of bullets

and still put up a fight.

The kind of person who

hides something like that

in the back of their watch.

I just pray to God that

you're on the right side.

Sir, just got a hit within

our search parameter.

Combing the server for an IP.

Forward me the address

when it comes in.

Yes, Sir.

I think we've acquired our target.

Stand by for location.

And if this is him,

make sure he's debriefed

before he's cancelled.

I want to know who he's talked to.

Come in.

Thank you for the clothing.

I appreciate it.

Well, someone may as well use them.

The night we got the call

I knew the minute that phone rang.

Losing a child, it's not something

you just get over.

It stays with you forever.

I'm sorry.

Thank you, dear.

I'm going to be leaving tomorrow.

But you don't even know

where you're going.

I know. But it's time.

I got to find out who I am.

I'm going to make a cup of tea.

Would you like one?

Sure. That would be nice.

Pronto?

Pronto.

Martha?

Martha.

Martha.

More coming.

Who?

Go.

No. I'm not leaving you.

All right. Who's out there?

Abe.

Abe!

Who's out there?

Answer me, dammit!

The shooter is collateral.

Take him out.

Abe.

Abe.

Shoot to kill.

We're supposed to take him alive.

No.

He's not coming out of there alive.

I think he's made that clear.

Give me the phone.

Clean the place up and torch it.

Is it done?

We lost him.

Lost him how?

He fought back.

That's unacceptable.

Well, if you'd waited for me

he'd be dead now

and we wouldn't be

having this conversation.

You understand something.

This will be done my way.

Now find him.

I believe that there's a connection
