XIII: The Conspiracy Page #8

And so you are you!

Sir, Doctor Kimmler

would like to see you.

I'm in the middle of a man hunt here,

Doctor.

What's the emergency?

One of our agents was poisoned

with Trizitherol.

But I thought you'd want to see

this right away.

This is where we set you up.

Come and go as you please.

No one asks any questions.

You liked to keep a few things

in here in case it hit the fan.

A few things, huh?

Billionaire industrialist,

Jasper Winthrow appeared

before Congress today.

The President of telecommunications

giant RMP Telecom

is the latest high-profile executive

to publicly endorse

the T elecommunications Security Act.

That's the controversial bill that

would allow federal law enforcement to

access Americans' phone records

and e-mail accounts

without obtaining warrants.

I believe that

the telecommunications industry

has an obligation to protect

the privacy of its customers.

Big Brother has officially arrived.

Can't trust the government.

That's for sure.

Did Ames go hard on you?

Sorry, I have to ask.

Did you tell them anything?

No.

They gave me these drugs though.

They made me feel a certain way

and seeing things.

What kind of things?

It's these visions.

They're different this time.

Less scattered.

I don't think they're dreams.

They're memories.

What do you remember?

A lot of glass on the floor.

It was like an old factory

or some place.

They took me there to question me.

A lot of men in suits.

What about their faces?

Did you see their faces?

I saw people.

I can't put a face to anyone

except for Mongoose.

I think you should get some sleep.

Yeah, maybe you're right.

I'll be in the next room

if you need anything.

Hey, Jones.

I'm sorry.

For what?

For not remembering you.

Thank you.

Sleep tight.

...is under attack.

Because of your bravery

we don't have to

Mr. President.

Have you been here all night?

The polls open in two days, Calvin.

Then it's all over.

You need to get some rest.

Calvin, it's over.

We lost the shooter.

Maybe.

There still might be a way

to save face.

And the shooter may have pulled

the trigger but he didn't act alone.

He had accomplices.

Accomplices within this administration.

Amos was following that thread

from the beginning.

It went nowhere.

Amos isn't competent.

He had the shooter in his custody

and he lost him.

What are you proposing?

Let me take over the investigation,

Joseph. This is my house.

If someone in the administration is

behind this I will find out who it is.

Okay. I'm giving you the authority.

Now I'll need to speak with everyone.

Full access to all files

and documents including

senior staff and cabinet members.

Whatever it takes.

We don't have time to play politics.

"Like a deer caught

in the headlights..."

I heard his voice but

I couldn't put a face to it.

And there was a pin on his lapel.

Had an American flag.

Something a politician might wear.

I don't know.

So he could have been

a public official.

Possibly someone of high rank.

I know you're frustrated

but we can't stop now.

These men are traitors.

T ake a look at this.

Fresh search turned this up.

Significant activity from a

decommissioned military facility

in Northern Montana.

It's off the books.

No mention a re-commission in any

of the armed forces records.

Jack McCall. Former Colonel.

He served Rowland in Iraq.

He was discharged

after the Haditha incident.

Rowland to carry out the assassination.

McCall to oversee

the paramilitary unit.

These are the foot soldiers

of the conspiracy.

They carried out the recent attacks.

Deploying men from overseas.

But now they've moved on

to American soil they're mobilizing.

For what?

Stage one was the assassination.

Stage two the terror attacks.

We believe stage

three will be a major strike

on a domestic target timed to coincide

with the upcoming elections.

Well, you're the NSA.

Alert the military.

You don't understand.

These people are the military.

There's no way someone

like McCall could operate

like this under the radar

without help from higher up.

How high?

It's possible the Secretary of Defence

is involved.

If McCall gets word that

the location's been compromised

he'll pull out and redeploy.

We've got a small window

to gather information

and identify the target.

This is where you come in.

McCall and Rowland were very close.

As far as McCall is concerned Rowland

is still alive.

Another suicide mission.

The polls open in two days.

We've got to identify the target.

No.

Are you serious?

I'm done being Steve Rowland.

You can't just leave.

Watch me.

Son, don't do this.

I want to know my name

and I want to know now!

I told you only the man who recruited

you knows your identity.

I don't buy it. There's more.

You tell me now.

Do you think I'd hesitate sending

to your death just

because you're having

an identity crisis?

We're at war.

You may not remember it,

but you accepted the mission.

You knew the risks.

Why would I have accepted the mission?

Because you had nothing

left to live for.

What the hell are you saying to me?

Your name is Ross T anner.

You were a Special Ops agent assigned

to central.

You had a family...

Family?

Sarin gas attacks

in the Chicago subways.

There were twenty-one victims.

Your wife and daughter were killed.

The man who launched this operation,

he gave you the opportunity

to take down the people

who killed your wife and daughter.

Your identity was kept a secret

from us to protect you.

It was only after we lost contact

with you that we were told all of this.

You could have told me before.

You feel completely off the radar.

You didn't try to make contact.

As far as we knew you were AWOL.

And when you did surface well,

let's just say your behaviour

didn't inspire confidence.

Sorry.

The man who recruited you,

he sent us this.

Your personal affects.

Apparently you gave them to him

for safe keeping.

We'll give you a moment.

It's an honor serving with you.

You just have to follow your instincts.

That's what I've been doing.

It's all I have.

Jones,

I don't think I can do this.

Yes, you can.

I know Ross T anner.

I know you can do this.

You don't know what

it's like to live this way.

I hate it.

Everybody I meet, everybody,

they get killed.

It wasn't always like that.

Well, that's the only way

I remember it.

Guards down. I'm going in.

I'm at the extraction point.

Anything happens radio me.

Otherwise we stay silent.

The package is being prepped

as we speak.

It should be en route within the hour.

Excellent.

We'll meet at Mr. Winthrow's tomorrow.

The others will be pleased to hear

that we're on schedule.

You should be proud Colonel.

You've served our cause well.

Now you know what must be done.

Yes, Sir.

Hello. Steve.

It's good to see you.

You shouldn't have come back.

What happened? Run out of money?

Didn't take the retirement?

You don't know, uh?

They didn't tell you.
