XIII: The Conspiracy Page #3

between the assassination

and the tunnel bombing.

How so?

The McCarran Airport Tunnel

is the third attack

since the assassination.

On the days leading up to

all of these strikes

there hasn't been any of

the typical chatter.

Now a handful of fringe cells

have claimed responsibility,

but nothing that's credible.

None of the big players have

taken credit and that concerns me.

So what are you thinking?

T o kill the President of

the United States

is the ultimate endgame for these people

yet none of them are coming forward.

Also they are smart enough to understand

that it is better for them to have a dove

like Sally Sheridan in the White House

than a hawk like her brother, Wally.

Why would they open the door for

a hardliner to win the presidency?

Are you suggesting this is domestic?

The assassination happened a few months

before the primaries.

Now we are in the thick of an election

and American people are being

targeted on American soil.

Whoever took out Sally Sheridan

is trying to influence the vote.

Get their guy in office.

You saw the photo.

The shooter was not foreign.

I suggest you follow your instinct.

But tread carefully.

If we start pointing fingers

at Americans

and we're wrong, God help us.

I know I'm late. Sorry.

Hey, would you mind?

Yeah, sure.

Life in the city, huh?

I guess.

You're not from around here.

Oh, jeeze.

Sam!

What you change the locks

and I'll just disappear?

Best idea.

We need to talk.

We're done talking.

I don't think so.

Hey, she said she didn't want to talk.

Get lost.

Look, just give me five minutes.

Forget it.

You got caught with your hand

in the cookie jar.

We are through.

She's gone, Sam.

It's over.

Okay?

Hey, I mean it this time.

Let go of the door, please.

No.

Not until you hear

what I have to say.

Hey! She said she already heard.

You still here?

I think I told you to get lost!

Aaah! My arm.

See a doctor.

It's probably going to swell.

Screw you.

Sorry.

Don't be. You just made my day.

Come on.

Whatever you need it's on the house.

Name is Sam.

Hey, Sam. Nice to meet you.

You going to tell me your name?

It's not a trick question.

No, I know, but...

Wow! You've got the dark

and mysterious thing down pat.

I actually don't know my name.

I don't even know who I am.

Up until about three or four weeks ago

I can't remember anything.

Like amnesia?

That's a good one.

I know it sounds crazy, but...

No. It doesn't sound crazy.

It sounds like you're full of it.

How did it happen?

I don't remember.

Some kind of head injury I think.

No memories at all?

Not a thing.

Lfyou could bottle that I'd buy some.

God knows there's a lot of crap

in my life I'd love to forget.

So tell me, man with no name,

how can I help you?

I've got this picture here.

Nice shot of you.

You want me to crop out the chick?

No. Actually I need to find this woman.

I noticed that it was printed here.

I was hoping I could

get the customer's name.

I'm really not supposed to

give out customer information.

I can get sued.

Please. It's the only lead I have

at finding some of these answers.

I would really appreciate it.

Let me see it again.

You've got to see this.

Remains of the

McCarran Airport T unnel bomber.

Guessing an ID is out.

No prints, no teeth.

We're waiting on DNA results.

Did find something interesting though.

Lower neck below the clavicle.

I don't see anything.

I want photographs.

Full chem work-ups,

and the DNA results

the second you get them.

BA-5645. I should still have it on file.

Here we go.

Customer's name is Kim Rowland.

Kim Rowland.

Girlfriend? Wife? Ex?

Name doesn't ring a bell?

No.

Kim Rowland.

Kim Rowland.

Sound familiar?

Hey, you got a tat. That's cool.

What does it mean?

You tell me.

I don't know.

Well, add another ten

when you get a chance.

Thirteen is bad luck.

Coffee machine is on a timer.

If I don't get my fix

before nine o'clock

I'm a psychotic witch.

Can I get you a cup?

Sure.

How do you take it?

Right. I'll surprise you.

Whoa! Slow down there, cowboy.

It's security encrypted.

One more wrong password

and your file is toast.

I know.

It's pretty important huh?

When they rescued me they found it on me.

I got to know what's on it.

Look, I have a friend named Surinder.

He's pretty good at this kind of stuff.

He hacked into the city database

and erased all my parking tickets.

I can have him take a look if you want?

And give it to someone else?

Well, you helped me. I want to help you.

Amos thinks the assassination

is a domestic plot.

Was he able to make an ID?

No, but he's on the right track.

Keep an eye on him.

Of course.

What's this?

Trouble.

Arson report.

Got flagged to Langley.

Elderly couple were

found burned in their home.

A mountain cabin in West Virginia.

Two hundred miles from

where we lost contact.

And you think that's related?

Well, right before the place

burned down

someone there tried to access our chip.

And this morning

a second attempt was made,

we traced to an I P in New York City.

It's XI I I.

No.

If he's out there he would

have made contact by now.

Well, maybe he can't.

Maybe that's why

he initiated the tracking program.

T o draw us to him.

I'll contact the old man.

You're going to New York City.

If Xlll's out there we got to

bring him in before someone else does.

We have target on sight.

Verification has been made.

Kim Rowland?

Steve Rowland.

'Where The Indian Goes.'

Why are you after me, huh?

Secret Service. This isn't real.

Check again.

Why me? Uh? Why me? Uh?

You thought they'd leave you out there

after what you did?

You're a liability.

To who?

Come on, man.

I don't know who they are.

I just take their orders.

Just like you did.

Who am I?

You don't know?

What is my name?

Steve Rowland.

You keep talking. Keep talking.

They want you dead.

Tell me who you're working for.

Tell me the names of the people

you're working for.

Hey! Hey!

Stop!

He's heading north on the Avenue.

What am I looking at?

This is the

McCarran Airport Tunnel bomber.

At least what's left of him.

This second photograph is a close-up

of his left shoulder.

An alternate light source scan revealed

a mark burned into the flesh.

It's another tattoo. Number 14.

I don't understand, Colonel.

How is this relevant?

If you bear with me for just a minute.

I looked into the autopsy of

the two security guards.

The men who were killed

when they engaged

Sally Sheridan's assassin.

At the time the coroner noted that

both men had chemical burns right

above the left collarbone.

And that's the same place

we found a tattoo on the bomber.

So you think the others

have tattoos as well?

Yes, Sir.

And this also supports my theory

that the recent terrorist attacks

and the assassination are linked.

T ake a look at this.

Another one. VI I I.

Eight.

Actually, Sir, you'll notice the serif

at the top of the numbers

but not the bottom.
