ROBERT SHAW: February1990, the Gulf War erupts.
And for the first time,American intelligence agencies
are without covert operatives
in the theater of war.
Subsequently the
National Security Agency
create an elite team
known only as Mach 1.
Recruited from various
special forces,
Mach 1 live in the darkestand most dangerous corners
of intelligence operations.
Shrouded in total secrecy,they infiltrate hot spots,
execute their mission anddisappear until the next time.

Releasing one micron.
[suspenseful music]
Sample is active.
Binary reaction between virusand oxygen to form aerosol.
Virus is primary color butchanging, becoming invisible.
Virus is in controlled
environment,
3 millions parts per billion.
That's a new record.
[very intense music]
COMPUTER VOICE: Now
initiating shut down.
Shut down complete.
Face, we got a problem.
Repeat.
ASSASSIN 1: We've gotcontact with a live subject.
Subject is in protective

Retrieve target and
terminate subject.
Let's go.
This is a secure area.
[alarm]
Security.
ASSASSIN 2: This
won't hurt a bit.
Oh, ah.
[alarm ringing]
Target secure.
Coming out.
[lightning and thunder]
[intense music]
The experiment wasn'tsupposed to be happening.
That was your responsibility.
My responsibility
was to acquire
the lab worker's schedule,not to read their minds.
You shouldn't have
been in there.
You messed up.
I'll find out how badly.

Simpson.
BOB MURDOCH [ON PHONE]:
This is Murdoch.
Assemble Mach 1.
There's a fire burning.
[powerful mission music]
[high pitched laser noise]
[powerful mission music]
OK.
Listen up.
Here's what we've got.
Security at Forest Dennison, oneof the best genetic engineering
groups around, was compromised.
A canister of US Armyissued nitrophenol nerve gas
was hooked to the e-vac
system killing eight
people on the night detail.
What were they after?
It's lot 64921,
very nasty stuff.
The development of
biological weapons
hasn't been widely pursued,mainly because they're
too unpredictable.
An agent has to be highlytoxic yet not too difficult
to handle and transport.
It also has to be able to standup to atmospheric conditions
like rain.
Most bacterial agents
are ineffective as well.
Because antidotes are
readily available.
But if you could hide a virus--
How do you hide a virus?
RON SIMPSON: A virus
is species specific.
That means it
can't jump species.
It either infects a bacteria,a plant, an animal, or a human.
Now what was stolen from thelab is deadly if untreated.
But there is an
antidote to it?
Yes, but--
It can jump species.
Interchangeable betweenbacteria and human, that's
what the lab was working on.
What's the differenceif you've got an antidote?
You hide the virus in anyone of a million bacteria.
The enemy locates it andtries to treat the bacteria.
Exactly.
The enemy is looking for aneedle in a wrong haystack.
They focus on the
bacteria never thinking
a viral agent could be inside.
Their dying.
And all the while, theantidote is sitting on a shelf
somewhere.
BACKGROUND INTERCOM
ANNOUNCEMENTS
Why would someonedevelop this sort of thing?
The reason it was developedisn't really our concern.
Our focus is to get it back.
Should we be wearing
protective gear?
If the virus is
contained, it's safe.
If it gets out--
What will it do?
RON SIMPSON: Primary
exposure results
in massive cellular destruction.
The body shuts down.
The central nervous systemstarts to feed on itself.
Secondary exposure
is even nastier.
What about direct contact?
Don't ask.
A satellite is
tracking the plane
we know the viral agent is on.
Your team will attempt amidair entry of that plane
and retrieve the target.
This is what you're looking for.
It has to come
back to us intact.
All right.
We've all got our dance cards.
RON SIMPSON: We're jammingtheir radar signal.
They won't know
they've got company.
We'll match speed and fire acable with an electromagnet.
Like sliding
down the bat pole.
RON SIMPSON: We have to
get next to the wing.
We'll try and get as closeto the door as possible.
[powerful mission music]
Cortez, conventional
weapons only.
I'd prefer it if I neversaw that thing again.
[music playing]
[powerful mission music]
Fifty miles up, 50 miles down.
Faster than Federal
Express, huh?

CAPTAIN: Roger.
[powerful mission music]
[funky music]
[theme music] I've
just about had enough.
I've been down for a long time.
I've been to hell and back.
This is serious business.
Here I come, baby, ready or not.

We're above the target.
[suspenseful music]
Engage cable.
[electronic sounds]
[music playing]
We're connected.
Let's go.
[intense horn music]
All right.
We all know the drill.
I create the entry
and exit point.
Concussion grenade.
Keep'em quiet.
Then we enter.
Gemmel, you take thatcockpit and keep us level.
Cortez and I'll
retrieve the virus.
This should go without a hitch.
[eerie horn music]
McNeil.
For luck.

[music playing]
Titan Two and
Titan Three, engage.
Titan Two and TitanThree are descending now.
ROMEO CORTEZ: Whoa.
BILL MCNEIL: Come on.
ROMEO CORTEZ: Seems like anice night for a wing walk.
RON SIMPSON: Cut the
chatter, Titan Three.

SARA GEMMEL: What's
the holdup, McNeil?
Stand by.
Come on.
Get out of the way.
ROMEO CORTEZ: Hard to moveyou around when you're
all trussed up in Kevlar, huh?

RON SIMPSON: Get
us in Titan One.
Stand by.
Roger.
Fix the package and
blow the house down.
[music playing]
There's a subject
at the blast point.
Detonate Titan One.
BILL MCNEIL: Negatory.
If I blow it now
they're as good as dead.
Titan One, blow that door now.
What if they're
holding the target?
It'll be in the cockpit.
Blow that door.
This is an order Titan One.
BILL MCNEIL: It's your party.
Team, stand by to
deliver the package.
[explosion]
We're in.
We're cutting loose.
You're on your own.

BILL MCNEIL: Let's go.
Let's move it.
ROMEO CORTEZ: Right.
[music playing]
[lightning and thunder]
[music playing]
COMPUTER VOICE: Pull up.
Don't think.
Too low.
[lightning and thunder]
Faster team.
You're running out of time.
I want you out of
there in one minute.
BILL MCNEIL: Titan Two,
bring this bird level.
Trying.
I may lose one trying to
bring her under control.
[music playing]
ROMEO CORTEZ: We
found the grail.
[music playing]
Secure the package and exit.
BILL MCNEIL: Go.
Let's go now.
[beeping sound]
SARA GEMMEL: I'm trying toreroute the auto pilot in here.
When we pop the top
on this package,
we knocked out all the avionics.
BILL MCNEIL: OK.
Do what you can.
SARA GEMMEL: Shit.
It's not working.
The automatic pilot
is badly damaged.
We got major electrical
problems in here.
[intense music]
It's not responding.
Controls are burned out.
RON SIMPSON: Leave the
cockpit now, Titan Two.
You're out of there.
That's an order.
Copy?
SARA GEMMEL: Copy that.
[intense music]
Oh.
BILL MCNEIL: You OK?
Things are good to go.
BILL MCNEIL: OK. let's hustle.
[intense music]
[lightning and thunder]
SARA GEMMEL: This
plane is going down.
We've got about a minute.
BILL MCNEIL: I'm almost done.
[intense music]
Shit.
I'm losing it.
Someone help.
SARA GEMMEL: I'm on it.
ROMEO CORTEZ: Wait, the virus.
Titan One.
Stop that cylinder.
BILL MCNEIL: Get
BOB MURDOCH: It.
Get it.ROMEO CORTEZ: Hold on, man.
BILL MCNEIL: Forget about me.
Get that cylinder.
ROMEO CORTEZ: The
hell with that.
BILL MCNEIL: That's an order.ROMEO CORTEZ: I got it.
I got it.
I got it.
No.
SARA GEMMEL: It's mine.
Mine.
BILL MCNEIL: Jesus Christ.
It's safe.
Everything's OK.
Cylinder contained.
OK team, let's pack out.
ROMEO CORTEZ: OK.
BILL MCNEIL: It's yours.
Passing off.
[spooky chime]
What the hell was that?
Goddamned storm.
Shit.
Titan One, you've got company.
Titan One.
Team watch your back.
I don't know if I can
maintain transmission.
That is mine.
What the hell?
ROMEO CORTEZ: He
shouldn't be up yet.
BILL MCNEIL: We got problems.
PILOT: The virus, now.
[suspenseful music]
Take the parachutes offand toss them out the door.
[lightning and thunder]
You, hurry up.
ROMEO CORTEZ: Got a plan?
BILL MCNEIL: Yeah,
short and sweet.
It better be.
BILL MCNEIL: Hey, asshole.
You're outta here.
What the--
[lightning and thunder]
BILL MCNEIL: Oh.
SARA GEMMEL: Are you OK?
BILL MCNEIL: Ah.
oh, I'm fine.
I've got Kevlar.
[fighting sounds]
[intense music]
SARA GEMMEL: Get out of the way.
PILOT: I'm going to
blow your head off.
Agh.
SARA GEMMEL: We're going down.
This bird is DOA.
[plane engine]
BILL MCNEIL: Gemmel.
Get it.
SARA GEMMEL: Got it.
ASSASSIN: Agh.
[intense music]
Oo, oh, ah.
That was close.
Real close.
Move out.
McNeil, no.
[rapid gunfire]
Who the fuck is he?
A friend of Yours
Yeah, right.
We're outta here.
SARA GEMMEL: I
don't have a chute.
You do now.
On three.
One, two, three.
[intense music]
[explosion]
[horn music]
[fast tape rewind sound]
PILOT: McNeil, no.
[fast tape rewind sound]
McNeil, no.
[fast tape rewind sound]
McNeil, no.
[rapid gunfire]
BOB MURDOCH: It would certainlyhelp this investigation
enormously if you
could suggest, McNeil,
how this man knew your name.
I have no idea
how he knew my name.
BOB MURDOCH: Did you
recognize his face?
Did you recognize hisface from any other time?
My life depends on being
able to place a face.
I'd never laid eyes on that guy.
Well, he certainly
knew you, didn't he?
There's nothing
from the crash site?
BOB MURDOCH: The plane
dropped like a stone,
exploded on impact.
The video images we tookfrom the helmet relays
are being enhanced now.
OK.
I have your reports, yes?
Ron can contact me if
something comes up.
Mr. McNeil, there wassome confusion over blowing
the entry point in the plane?
Yeah.
I wanted to make sure allthe subjects were clear.
Why?
I thought one of
the subjects might
have been carrying the virus.
Why would you think That
It's what I thought.
One possible interpretationof your actions
could be concern for
those inside the plane.
ROMEO CORTEZ: We're
just trying to ah
keep up with the times, sir.
You know, a kinder,gentler special ops squad.
OK.
It's a pity Gandhi's gone.
He might be a nice
addition to your team.
No, he'd a failed
the eye test.
Cortez.
What?
BOB MURDOCH: That's enough.
You may go.
Ahem.
[music playing]
Ron, I'd like a word
with you, if I may.
He's a bit of wild
card, isn't he?
McNeil?
Yeah.
Sometimes.
Do you trust him?
Yes.
[music playing]
There are a Limited number ofpeople that knew what was going
on in that lab and a
limited number of people
that cold bring
off the operation.
We happen to fit
into both categories.
This is absurd.
We got the fucking stuff back.
They need to know
who set this up.
You're sure you've never seenthat guy on the plane before?
Positive.
No idea how he
might know your name?
If I didn't shoot him,
he could have told me.
Man, what are
they thinking, huh?
Look, I have to
deal with Murdoch.
Can we meet tonight?
Rooney's, 8 o'clock?
Rooney's it is.
BILL MCNEIL: Oh.
[music playing]
I'm sure I'd never
seen him before.
Where would I know him from?
You're being paranoid.
The guy must known
you from somewhere.
The 82nd, special
ops, somewhere.
SARA GEMMEL:
ROMEO CORTEZ: High
school, kindergarten.
Romeo's right.
You're being paranoid.
Paranoid is a good thingto be in our business.
Here, here, even
paranoics have enemies.
They just have to
recognize them.
19 missions without a hitch.
19 ops without casualties,it just doesn't make sense.
ROMEO CORTEZ: Hey, you knowwhat this reminds me of?
NCAA AA college basketball.
The longest winning
streak in history
belongs to UCLA, 1971
to 1977, without a loss.
Now, an Armagnac to theperson who can tell me who
snapped the winning streak.
Some refer to that as
the greatest underdog
victory in hoop history.
The UCLA Bruins on an '88 game--
Let's get out of here.
SARA GEMMEL: Winning
streak take the
We need to talk.
SARA GEMMEL: Fighting
Irish of Notre Dame.
The Irish squeak by a 71, 70victory at the final buzzer.
Cortez, Gemmel, we're done.
Want to know who
sunk the final basket?
Everybody stay online.
Murdoch will call as soon asthe video transfer is done.
POOL BALLS CLICKING
AND CUES BANGING
Hey Gemmel, who sunk
that final basket?
[music playing]
[pool balls clicking]
Look it up.
Oh, man.
Why, thank you.
Look, we both know
the next couple of days
are going to be a bitch.
So let's just keep
our heads low.
Mm-hm.
Murdoch's going to be
all over us on this one.
Don't bait the guy.
Don't provoke him.
If you do, Cortez follows suit.
Right.
Forget about it.
I can't run.
It's just--
Let it go.
It'll come.
I think you know whoeverlifted this virus already
has a buyer set up, correct?
Go on.
BILL MCNEIL: There's onlya dozen guys in the world
who could unload this.
There's Hans Speckert, Germany.
There's Gotsi, SouthAfrica, and Melo, France.
Look, Murdoch's
on top of all that.
Let's just leave it to him.
I don't like Murdoch, Ron.
He's on our side.
If you say so.
[music playing]
Having problems?
Here ah let me take a look.
Oh.
Oh, here's the trouble.
This plug's loose.
That'll fix it, no problem.
[intense music blast]
[silencer gunfire]
[tires squealing]
RON SIMPSON: How about
some music, McNeil.
DAVE TOOMBS [ON CD]:
Good evening Mr. Simpson
or should I say goodbye?
What the fuck?
[door lock clicks]
[intense music]
We've got problems, Bill.
I've got no control.
Running out of
road in about a mile.
DAVE TOOMBS [ON CD]: You'llfind it quite impossible
to get out of your car Simpson.
It is agency standard after all.
Bullet-proof windows, lead-linedpanels, and me at the controls.
RON SIMPSON: That CD.
Digital Interface.
So is the car's
computer system.
[tires squealing]
[intense music]
DAVE TOOMBS [ON CD]: It'sa shame I have to kill you,
Simpson.
I have a grudging respectfor you and the Mach 1 team.
Too bad you're all going to die.
BILL MCNEIL: Almost there.
If it's digitally controlledwe only have to be interrupt it
for about a second.
BILL MCNEIL: I'll pop thedoors and then we jump.
Fine, fine, just get us out.
DAVE TOOMBS [ON CD]: Havea nice afterlife Simpson.
[intense music]
BILL MCNEIL: Shit.
Sorry.
[semi truck horn honking]
RON SIMPSON: Thanks.

BILL MCNEIL: Working.
Working.
RON SIMPSON: There's
no time left.
Jesus, we're heading
towards the water.
Go, go, go, now.
[intense music]
[explosion]
McNeil?
Ah, ah, ah.
Some fucking CD.
[sirens]
Very nice hit.
Very creative.
You got your phone?
[sirens]
Call the team.
Right.
[music playing]
[phone rings]
Hello?DAVE TOOMBS [ON PHONE]: Hi.
I'm calling on behalf
of Mars Marketing.
Would you like to--
End this conversation?
Yes, thank you.
[music playing]
[suspenseful music]
We need a car.
No answer.
What do you want to drive?
Foreign or domestic?
[music playing]
[phone rings]
RON SIMPSON: Hang on.
Simpson.
What?
When?
Get a team over
to her place now.
We're en route.
Cortez is dead.
How?
Looks like a car robbery.
Gemmel.
[intense music]
[phone rings]
Oh, man.
I hate these phone jerks.
[phone rings]
Gemmel pick up the phone.
[phone rings]
- Yes?
- Gemmel.
SARA GEMMEL [ON PHONE]: McNeil?
- Are you all right?
- Fine.
What's up?
BILL MCNEIL [ON
PHONE]: Someone tried
to kill Simpson and I tonight.
There's a team on the
way to your house.
We're on our way as well.
I want you to sit
tight and load up.
Someone wants us badly .
SARA GEMMEL [ON PHONE]: Gemmel?
Gemmel?
Holy shit.
Gemmel.
[intense music]
[explosion]
Gemmel.
Get over there.
[music playing]
[phone rings]
Samuels.
It's Simpson's car.
There's no sign of him.
On my way.
[music playing]
RON SIMPSON: You in charge here?
Yeah, I am.
Can I have a word please?
What happened?
Oh, I guess I lost
my damage deposit.
Are you all right?
Yeah, I'm OK.
We gotta focus now.
We've got some problems.
Romeo is dead.
How?
Murdoch.
He says it was a car robbery.
Oh, that's bullshit.
Let's get out of here.
Mr. Simpson?
RON SIMPSON: I
called for a team.
Where are they?
I believe they're upstairsin Ms. Gemmel's apartment,
at least what's left of it.
So much for evidence.
[sirens]
Mr. Murdoch wants to see.
Well, I don't want to see him.
Well, let me
rephrase this for you.
He really wants to see you.
This isn't a request.
Shall we?
McNeil, Gemmel.
[computer sounds]
[music playing]
Hey.
Hey.
Oh, you're staying
all night, aren't you?
Yeah, gotta.
Look, ah I'll catch you later.
Yeah?
OK, I'll be at the Living End.
Yeah, see you
there around 7-ish?
[music playing]
Wait, wait, I need youfor a couple more minutes.

[intense music]
[horn music]
We're being targeted.
I say eliminates us.
Let's see now, we had abotched attempt on Simpson.
We had a botched
attempt on Gemmel
and a very, very successfulattempt on the late Mr. Cortez.
And the only thing
that really bothers me
about this whole
picture is you, McNeil.
We checked in your apartment.
My people tell me
it's spic and span.
It's clean.
No one's been there except you.
If you think that
I'm behind this.
It's time to say it.
Come on, this is bullshit.
He's clearly being set up.
Grasping at straws, team?
I want some answers.
How much would this viruscommand on the open market?
International arms market?
Ballpark, half a billion.
But only if you can
find the right buyer.
Attempts to kill
us make no sense.
We have video evidence.
We don't.
Excuse me?
MR. SAMUELS: 57 minutes ago,someone hacked into the imaging
system at the lab.
The footage was compromised.
So,
This puzzle
continues to fester.
You were all a big
part of this puzzle.
And until we figure
it out, I suggest
that you will remain here.
Your people can't
keep track of a video.
This ever happen before?
Has it?
BILL MCNEIL: So what?
We're supposed to
play bridge until you
find out who's behind this?
No.
You're going to help.
And ah we're going to getyou photos, and then photos,
and photos until
you have discovered
that that is the face
of the man that you
don't recognize from the plane.
And then it's just six degreesof separation from there
until we find the real manwho is behind all this.
And if that man is you?
Then we wouldn't be havingthis conversation right now.
RON SIMPSON: McNeil.
We've got a real problem here.
May we have a moment?
BOB MURDOCH: Yes.
Stressful business
we're in, isn't it?
[music playing]
RON SIMPSON: McNeil.
Are you out of your mind?
I begged you not to do this.
Ron, we are being set up.
For Christ sake, this
is what we do to people.
We put them in packages,tie little bows around them
and send them who knows where.
And now it's being done to us.
No.
No one here has any
reason to do that.
There's half a
billion reasons.
He wants us to stay here.
Why don't we just pitchat tent in the parking lot
and paint a bullseye on it?
Ron, if we stay here,
we're here forever.
We're not staying.
I'll see what I can do.
[soft piano music]
MIXED VOICES TALKING
ABOUT HALF A BILLION
[lightning and thunder]
BOB MURDOCH: What
about you, Ms. Gemmel?
What about me, sir?
Staying here, no problem?
I understand yourapartment is in shambles.
Well, I have a
cat that I should
really get back and feed.
A kitty.
He, she, it.
His name's Killer.
RON SIMPSON: Gemmel.
Could you wait outside?
Ah, no problem.
We need an option.
[music playing]
Gemmel, McNeil.
Thank you.
All right, he's got us
a safe house and a car.
It's either there or here.
I say we go for it.
What about weapons?
Standard issue in the car.
This is it?
And all the toys.
That would help.
Where we going, Ron?
RON SIMPSON: Police crime scene.
Hide in plain sight.
[low chime]
Oh, I can't believe
that Cortez is dead.
Oh.
I never should have left him.
SARA GEMMEL: And then Simpsonwould be dead and maybe me.
Don't blame yourself, McNeil.
The guy on the plane.
How did he know my name?
I'm going to bed.

[music playing]
Hey.
[music playing]
[horn music]
Ron, I know you love
to keep the faith.
But Murdoch is no
longer in my good book.
Yeah.
OK.
What do we know?
Let's just take Murdoch down.
There are only
three of us left.
That's all he has to deal with.
We have no idea how many peopleare involved in this operation.
Well, what about
Murdoch's superior?
Murdoch's superior, whoever heis, could be involved in this.
Half a billion dollars
buys you a pretty army.
Suppose we could go to
the FBI or the papers.
And be a witness
who doesn't make
it through protective custody.
I pass on that.
Wait a minute, half abillion dollars, that's it.
What's it?
This guy has two choices.
He can either kill us andput the entire plan to bed.
Or you can reactivate
it with us in on it.
What do you mean?
Get it back and offer
it to him at a price.
And then take him down.
We've retrieved it once.
We could do it again.
This is so far-fetched.
We're deep enough in
the shit as it is.
Ron, I know you
love the rules.
There are no more.
Can you find out
where the virus is?
Probably.
[soft horn music]
[computer beep]
RON SIMPSON: It's in storagein a disposable facility,
viruses, toxins, and bacteria.
Liquid nitrogen is used tofreeze this stuff forever.
Looks pretty secure.
It is.
They do a lot of work
for the military.
I can get you in.
I can find out when the virusis to be destroyed and get
you in at the same time.
How do you get us in?
Well, it's a little moredifficult than it seems.
Five entrances all videomonitored and security guard
but I've got one angle.
[suspenseful music]
[computer beeps]
Video cameras one through fiveare replaying of jammed signal.
They're not going
to see you go in.
I wasn't happy when
Cortez used that.
I'm even less impressed
that you're using it.
But you're not going in there.
For luck.
We're gonna need it.
[intense music]
You've got 12 minutes.
After that destruction
of the target begins.
[intense music]
SARA GEMMEL: I've
got on night vision.

Once past the entrance,you'll see the main building.
It's just over 100 yards away.

Zeus, we're in position
for primary target.
RON SIMPSON: You have 10minutes Enter the facility
and don't waste any time.
[computer buzzer]
Clear.
[intense music]
[eerie string music]
You have eight minutes.
SARA GEMMEL: Five degreesnorth, northeast, 30
meters and counting 29, 28, 27.
RON SIMPSON: What
you're looking for,
team, is a large liquid
nitrogen cistern.
The product is scheduled
for deep freeze storage
putting it in stasis forever.
BILL MCNEIL: How are
we going to get it out?
RON SIMPSON: Don't worry.
It's not frozen yet.
SARA GEMMEL: We're here.
Zeus, we found the grail.
Roger that.
Standing by.
BILL MCNEIL: I'm telling younow, it's a long way down.
RON SIMPSON: Hustle.
[eerie intense music]
You have seven minutes.
BILL MCNEIL: Copy that.
We're descending now.
It's gonna be close.

BILL MCNEIL: We're inside.
SARA GEMMEL: Ah, helooks strangely familiar.
BILL MCNEIL: OK.
Let's close it up.
DAVE TOOMBS: Don't bother.
I'll take that.
My associate has a gun on you.
To be a good little agent andpass up the virus, will you?
Easy.
Easy does it now.
So, this is the Mach 1 team.
And I thought you
were so big and bad.
You two went down as
easy as your friend.
[intense music]
Who are you?
How the hell did
you get in here?
Magic.
Zeus, we got company.
I'm blocking all
frequencies, Mr. McNeil.
You think I'd be that stupid?
COMPUTER VOICE: Warning.
Liquid nitrogen
now being shunted.
Please move away from the unit.
Close all system doors
to avoid exposure.
[gunfire]
A bullet to the head
or a cold bath you two?
COMPUTER VOICE: Liquidnitrogen now being distributed.
Avoid contact with cistern.
Close all outer doors
to avoid contamination.
This should be interesting.
I failed science in school.
But I'm willing to bet we'reabout to see two human icicles.

Ah, ah, gas crack.
Ah, no.
Agh.
Ah, oh, oh, oo.
Oh, oo.

BILL MCNEIL: Zeus,
this is Titan One.
Zeus, do you copy?
We got trouble.
What?
[intense music]
BILL MCNEIL: We got a bogie.
He's holding the virus.
And he's moving away.
Who the fuck?
BILL MCNEIL: He
didn't give a name.
Just get him.
Get him.
He's coming at you.
I'm on it.

Let's go get a car.
[intense music]
Put the jacket on McNeil.
We've got to hide.
We've got to find somewhere.
We've got to get off the street.
Oh, jeez.
There.
Good.
[traffic noises]
Check the news.
See if there's anything onabout what just happened.
The two are
sought in the theft
of an experimental defoliantfrom the Department
of Agriculture.
If released into theatmosphere, this defoliant could
have catastrophic results.
[news reporters talking on tv]
Not a bad cover
to flush us out.
Do you think the people
at the desk saw this?
I think we're secure.
Oh.
OK.
I'm going to run a bath.
[phone rings]
Yeah?
BOB MURDOCK [ON PHONE]:
McNeil, look outside.
What is it?
[intense music]
SARA GEMMEL: We're toast.
Agent Gemmel,
Agent McNeil, just
put your weapons down please.
BOB MURDOCK: All right everyone,just remain cool, remain calm.
There is no need for violence.
Gemmel, McNeil, it's beena busy evening I see.
We're leaving here alone.
Where you gonna go?
There's been a new development.
I have some new information I'mdying to share with you two.
So why don't you just
put down your weapons.
Put the guns down.
We don't trust you, Murdoch.
Well, what choice do you have?
I-- I'm holding
all the cards now.
You either spend 40
years at Leavenworth
or you come back to the fold.
What'll it be?
How about I blow
your head clean off?
[music playing]
Can I finish my cigar first?
I'd say we're fucked.
AGENTS TALKING IN
BACKGROUND ON RADIOS
OK, here's what we got.
We're tracking every kind oftransactional communication
possible, credit
card, long-distance,
domestic, and international.
Problem, half the
calls out of Washington
international long distance.
And what exactly
are we looking for?
Well, um that man youturned into a popsicle today.
His name was Leonard Jackson.
And this is?
That's the guy we saw.
BOB MURDOCK: His
name is David Toombs.
The description was perfect.
He works for a man
called Pierre Melo.
Now, arms sales is a
very shadowy business.
As we know, Melo is so
obscure, we don't even
know what he looks like.
And you think he's
behind all this?
Yes, yes I do.
We believe Melo's
in America right now.
OK.
How do we find him?
MR. SAMUELS:
Interpol has given us
a voice print on Dave Toombs.
We've established a phone sweepof the greater Washington area.
As soon as Toombs contactsMelo, we'll have a location.
And we'll go from there.
What's your next step?
MR. SAMUELS: We wait.
For how long?
It could take all night.
Well,
We have all night.
So you two can relax until wecall you and we're ready to go
to put you back on the clock.
Murdoch, how are you so surewe want to stay on the job?
Samuels, myself,
and you two are
the only ones left who know thatthe virus is still out there.
I'd like to keep it that way.
We need you on the team.
Do not force me to lock you up.
Because I will.
How did you find
us at the motel?
MR. SAMUELS: Microprocessorsin your weapons.
And the phone the new story?
Plausible deniability.
So it wasn't you after all.
No, it wasn't me.
And it wasn't you.
How about that?
OK, your apartment
is all set up.
Why don't you go relax,
change of clothes.
There's a whole complementof things waiting for you.
We'll call you when we need you.
Ah, that sounds good.
[soft music]
Bath time.
[soft music]
How's it coming?
Nothing yet.
Forensics is finished
with the van.
Hm.
No . prints no sign

And this was inside.
They pulled a chip.
How is that possible?
How is that possible?

MR. SAMUELS: I've
done all I can.
Now we wait.
[computer alarm]
Whoa, got him.
Toombs?
Yes, perfect match.
Good, good, and this otherone here, is this Melo?
Could be.
He spoke French.
Good.
And you have where
the call was from?
I don't know yet.
It's a cell phone.
I can get you the radius.
But it will take time.
But you have where
the call went to?
- Embassy Suites.
- Good, good.
He's using the relaysystem to scramble the calls.
How much time?
How much time?
How much time?
- Give me five minutes.
I'll get the room.
Good.
[knocking]
SARA GEMMEL: Yeah?
[soft music]
Come in.
I thought you were sleeping.
Too tense I guess.
Hm, not me.
I don't want anything
to go wrong, Sara.
It won't or it will.
But either way we'll handle it.
I want to make
sure that you're
comfortable going
out of this now
that Ron and Cortez are gone.
My faith has
always been in you.
You don't know howmuch I need to hear that.
I know.
You're the last
one left, Sara.
Luck of the Irish I guess.
[phone rings]
We're on.
So, are we clear?
What kind of
backup do we have?
Samuels here is
going to go with you.
He will provide his
technical wizardry.
Otherwise, I just want
it to be your show.
He's going to come
with a lot of firepower.
I can appreciate that.
But let's not forget,
if he suspects anything,
the game is over
before it begins.
I want you to remember, ifyou fail, we will be there.
We'll come in and
ah do what we can,
but only if you drop the ball.
Good luck.
Nice pep talk, boss.
MR. SAMUELS: Yes.
He's tricky.
But I'm trickier.
Presidential suite.
Go.
Let's rock.
[powerful mission music]
Good luck.
Samuels?
Hm?
What are you
giving me this for?
Every weapon's gonna countwhen we get to this party.
I'm strategic and
technical, not ops.
But you do know
how to use it, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You point, you shoot, thebad guy falls down, right?
Good, good.

We just got to find it.
Ah, what do they need
to get out of here?
A plane.

Melo won't use one.
Yeah.
You do not get off the groundin the President's hometown
without one, no
matter who you are.
SARA GEMMEL: Look,
we don't have time.
There's going to be hundredsof international flight

once Simpson's hit on thesafe house didn't work out.
You knew it was him then?
I knew someone was

I just didn't know whetherit was McNeil or Simpson.
And the real virus?
BOB MURDOCH: It's safe.
It's being cataloged rightnow at the lab with Forrest
Dennison, thank God.
This stuff here that
got from the toxic lab
is just bait to catch them all.
So we were just a decoy?
Yes, yes you were.
That sucks.
I have to follow orders too.
It's our job, people.
Get used to it.

This is Murdoch.
Assemble Mach 1.
There's a fire burning.
[powerful mission music]
[high pitched laser noise]
[powerful mission music]
OK.
Listen up.
Here's what we've got.
Security at Forest Dennison, oneof the best genetic engineering
groups around, was compromised.
A canister of US Armyissued nitrophenol nerve gas
was hooked to the e-vac
system killing eight
people on the night detail.
What were they after?
It's lot 64921,
very nasty stuff.
The development of
biological weapons
hasn't been widely pursued,mainly because they're
too unpredictable.
An agent has to be highlytoxic yet not too difficult
to handle and transport.
It also has to be able to standup to atmospheric conditions
like rain.
Most bacterial agents
are ineffective as well.
Because antidotes are
readily available.
But if you could hide a virus--
How do you hide a virus?
RON SIMPSON: A virus
is species specific.
That means it
can't jump species.
It either infects a bacteria,a plant, an animal, or a human.
Now what was stolen from thelab is deadly if untreated.
But there is an
antidote to it?
Yes, but--
It can jump species.
Interchangeable betweenbacteria and human, that's
what the lab was working on.
What's the differenceif you've got an antidote?
You hide the virus in anyone of a million bacteria.
The enemy locates it andtries to treat the bacteria.
Exactly.
The enemy is looking for aneedle in a wrong haystack.
They focus on the
bacteria never thinking
a viral agent could be inside.
Their dying.
And all the while, theantidote is sitting on a shelf
somewhere.
BACKGROUND INTERCOM
ANNOUNCEMENTS
Why would someonedevelop this sort of thing?
The reason it was developedisn't really our concern.
Our focus is to get it back.
Should we be wearing
protective gear?
If the virus is
contained, it's safe.
If it gets out--
What will it do?
RON SIMPSON: Primary
exposure results
in massive cellular destruction.
The body shuts down.
The central nervous systemstarts to feed on itself.
Secondary exposure
is even nastier.
What about direct contact?
Don't ask.
A satellite is
tracking the plane
we know the viral agent is on.
Your team will attempt amidair entry of that plane
and retrieve the target.
This is what you're looking for.
It has to come
back to us intact.
All right.
We've all got our dance cards.
RON SIMPSON: We're jammingtheir radar signal.
They won't know
they've got company.
We'll match speed and fire acable with an electromagnet.
Like sliding
down the bat pole.
RON SIMPSON: We have to
get next to the wing.
We'll try and get as closeto the door as possible.

All right.
We all know the drill.
I create the entry

Keep'em quiet.
Then we enter.
Gemmel, you take thatcockpit and keep us level.

There's a subject

Detonate Titan One.
BILL MCNEIL: Negatory.
If I blow it now
they're as good as dead.
Titan One, blow that door now.
What if they're
holding the target?
It'll be in the cockpit.
Blow that door.
This is an order Titan One.
BILL MCNEIL: It's your party.
Team, stand by to
deliver the package.

We're in.
We're cutting loose.

Secure the package and exit.
BILL MCNEIL: Go.
Let's go now.
[beeping sound]
SARA GEMMEL: I'm trying toreroute the auto pilot in here.
When we pop the top
on this package,
we knocked out all the avionics.
BILL MCNEIL: OK.
Do what you can.
SARA GEMMEL: Shit.
It's not working.
The automatic pilot
is badly damaged.
We got major electrical
problems in here.
[intense music]
It's not responding.
Controls are burned out.
RON SIMPSON: Leave the
cockpit now, Titan Two.
You're out of there.
That's an order.
Copy?
SARA GEMMEL: Copy that.
[intense music]
Oh.
BILL MCNEIL: You OK?
Things are good to go.
BILL MCNEIL: OK. let's hustle.

SARA GEMMEL: This

We've got about a minute.
BILL MCNEIL: I'm almost done.

BILL MCNEIL: Get
BOB MURDOCH: It.

BILL MCNEIL: Forget about me.
Get that cylinder.
ROMEO CORTEZ: The

BILL MCNEIL: That's an order.ROMEO CORTEZ: I got it.
I got it.
I got it.
No.
SARA GEMMEL: It's mine.
Mine.
BILL MCNEIL: Jesus Christ.
It's safe.
Everything's OK.
Cylinder contained.
OK team, let's pack out.
ROMEO CORTEZ: OK.
BILL MCNEIL: It's yours.
Passing off.
[spooky chime]
What the hell was that?
Goddamned storm.
Shit.
Titan One, you've got company.
Titan One.
Team watch your back.
I don't know if I can

That is mine.
What the hell?
ROMEO CORTEZ: He
shouldn't be up yet.
BILL MCNEIL: We got problems.
PILOT: The virus, now.
[suspenseful music]
Take the parachutes offand toss them out the door.
[lightning and thunder]
You, hurry up.
ROMEO CORTEZ: Got a plan?
BILL MCNEIL: Yeah,
short and sweet.
It better be.
BILL MCNEIL: Hey, asshole.
You're outta here.
What the--
[lightning and thunder]
BILL MCNEIL: Oh.
SARA GEMMEL: Are you OK?
BILL MCNEIL: Ah.
oh, I'm fine.
I've got Kevlar.
[fighting sounds]
[intense music]
SARA GEMMEL: Get out of the way.
PILOT: I'm going to
blow your head off.
Agh.
SARA GEMMEL: We're going down.
This bird is DOA.
[plane engine]
BILL MCNEIL: Gemmel.
Get it.
SARA GEMMEL: Got it.
ASSASSIN: Agh.
[intense music]
Oo, oh, ah.
That was close.
Real close.
Move out.
McNeil, no.
[rapid gunfire]
Who the fuck is he?
A friend of Yours
Yeah, right.
We're outta here.
SARA GEMMEL: I
don't have a chute.
You do now.
On three.
One, two, three.

[fast tape rewind sound]
PILOT: McNeil, no.
[fast tape rewind sound]
McNeil, no.
[fast tape rewind sound]
McNeil, no.
[rapid gunfire]
BOB MURDOCH: It would certainlyhelp this investigation
enormously if you
could suggest, McNeil,
how this man knew your name.
I have no idea
how he knew my name.
BOB MURDOCH: Did you
recognize his face?
Did you recognize hisface from any other time?
My life depends on being
able to place a face.
I'd never laid eyes on that guy.
Well, he certainly
knew you, didn't he?
There's nothing
from the crash site?
BOB MURDOCH: The plane
dropped like a stone,
exploded on impact.
The video images we tookfrom the helmet relays
are being enhanced now.
OK.
I have your reports, yes?
Ron can contact me if
something comes up.
Mr. McNeil, there wassome confusion over blowing
the entry point in the plane?
Yeah.
I wanted to make sure allthe subjects were clear.
Why?
I thought one of
the subjects might
have been carrying the virus.
Why would you think That
It's what I thought.
One possible interpretationof your actions
could be concern for
those inside the plane.
ROMEO CORTEZ: We're
just trying to ah
keep up with the times, sir.
You know, a kinder,gentler special ops squad.
OK.
It's a pity Gandhi's gone.
He might be a nice
addition to your team.
No, he'd a failed
the eye test.
Cortez.
What?
BOB MURDOCH: That's enough.
You may go.
Ahem.
[music playing]
Ron, I'd like a word
with you, if I may.
He's a bit of wild
card, isn't he?
McNeil?
Yeah.
Sometimes.
Do you trust him?
Yes.
[music playing]
There are a Limited number ofpeople that knew what was going
on in that lab and a
limited number of people
that cold bring
off the operation.
We happen to fit
into both categories.
This is absurd.
We got the fucking stuff back.
They need to know
who set this up.
You're sure you've never seenthat guy on the plane before?
Positive.
No idea how he
might know your name?
If I didn't shoot him,
he could have told me.
Man, what are
they thinking, huh?
Look, I have to
deal with Murdoch.
Can we meet tonight?
Rooney's, 8 o'clock?
Rooney's it is.
BILL MCNEIL: Oh.
[music playing]
I'm sure I'd never
seen him before.
Where would I know him from?
You're being paranoid.
The guy must known
you from somewhere.
The 82nd, special
ops, somewhere.
SARA GEMMEL:
ROMEO CORTEZ: High
school, kindergarten.
Romeo's right.
You're being paranoid.
Paranoid is a good thingto be in our business.
Here, here, even
paranoics have enemies.
They just have to
recognize them.
19 missions without a hitch.
19 ops without casualties,it just doesn't make sense.
ROMEO CORTEZ: Hey, you knowwhat this reminds me of?
NCAA AA college basketball.
The longest winning
streak in history
belongs to UCLA, 1971
to 1977, without a loss.
Now, an Armagnac to theperson who can tell me who
snapped the winning streak.
Some refer to that as
the greatest underdog
victory in hoop history.
The UCLA Bruins on an '88 game--
Let's get out of here.
SARA GEMMEL: Winning
streak take the
We need to talk.
SARA GEMMEL: Fighting
Irish of Notre Dame.
The Irish squeak by a 71, 70victory at the final buzzer.
Cortez, Gemmel, we're done.
Want to know who
sunk the final basket?
Everybody stay online.
Murdoch will call as soon asthe video transfer is done.
POOL BALLS CLICKING
AND CUES BANGING
Hey Gemmel, who sunk
that final basket?
[music playing]
[pool balls clicking]
Look it up.
Oh, man.
Why, thank you.
Look, we both know
the next couple of days
are going to be a bitch.
So let's just keep
our heads low.
Mm-hm.
Murdoch's going to be
all over us on this one.
Don't bait the guy.
Don't provoke him.
If you do, Cortez follows suit.
Right.
Forget about it.
I can't run.
It's just--
Let it go.
It'll come.
I think you know whoeverlifted this virus already
has a buyer set up, correct?
Go on.
BILL MCNEIL: There's onlya dozen guys in the world
who could unload this.
There's Hans Speckert, Germany.
There's Gotsi, SouthAfrica, and Melo, France.
Look, Murdoch's
on top of all that.
Let's just leave it to him.
I don't like Murdoch, Ron.
He's on our side.
If you say so.
[music playing]
Having problems?
Here ah let me take a look.
Oh.
Oh, here's the trouble.
This plug's loose.
That'll fix it, no problem.
[intense music blast]

DAVE TOOMBS [ON CD]:

What the fuck?

We've got problems, Bill.
I've got no control.
Running out of
road in about a mile.
DAVE TOOMBS [ON CD]: You'llfind it quite impossible
to get out of your car Simpson.
It is agency standard after all.
Bullet-proof windows, lead-linedpanels, and me at the controls.
RON SIMPSON: That CD.
Digital Interface.
So is the car's
computer system.
[tires squealing]
[intense music]
DAVE TOOMBS [ON CD]: It'sa shame I have to kill you,
Simpson.
I have a grudging respectfor you and the Mach 1 team.
Too bad you're all going to die.
BILL MCNEIL: Almost there.
If it's digitally controlledwe only have to be interrupt it
for about a second.
BILL MCNEIL: I'll pop thedoors and then we jump.
Fine, fine, just get us out.

Yes, thank you.

We need a car.
No answer.
What do you want to drive?
Foreign or domestic?
[music playing]
[phone rings]
RON SIMPSON: Hang on.
Simpson.
What?
When?
Get a team over
to her place now.
We're en route.
Cortez is dead.
How?
Looks like a car robbery.
Gemmel.
[intense music]
[phone rings]
Oh, man.
I hate these phone jerks.
[phone rings]
Gemmel pick up the phone.
[phone rings]
- Yes?
- Gemmel.
SARA GEMMEL [ON PHONE]: McNeil?
- Are you all right?
- Fine.
What's up?
BILL MCNEIL [ON
PHONE]: Someone tried
to kill Simpson and I tonight.
There's a team on the
way to your house.
We're on our way as well.
I want you to sit
tight and load up.
Someone wants us badly .
SARA GEMMEL [ON PHONE]: Gemmel?
Gemmel?
Holy shit.
Gemmel.
[intense music]

Gemmel.
Get over there.
[music playing]
[phone rings]
Samuels.
It's Simpson's car.
There's no sign of him.
On my way.
[music playing]
RON SIMPSON: You in charge here?
Yeah, I am.
Can I have a word please?
What happened?
Oh, I guess I lost
my damage deposit.
Are you all right?
Yeah, I'm OK.
We gotta focus now.
We've got some problems.
Romeo is dead.
How?
Murdoch.
He says it was a car robbery.
Oh, that's bullshit.
Let's get out of here.
Mr. Simpson?
RON SIMPSON: I
called for a team.
Where are they?
I believe they're upstairsin Ms. Gemmel's apartment,
at least what's left of it.
So much for evidence.
[sirens]
Mr. Murdoch wants to see.
Well, I don't want to see him.
Well, let me
rephrase this for you.
He really wants to see you.
This isn't a request.
Shall we?
McNeil, Gemmel.
[computer sounds]
[music playing]
Hey.
Hey.
Oh, you're staying
all night, aren't you?
Yeah, gotta.
Look, ah I'll catch you later.
Yeah?
OK, I'll be at the Living End.
Yeah, see you
there around 7-ish?

[horn music]
We're being targeted.
I say eliminates us.
Let's see now, we had abotched attempt on Simpson.
We had a botched
attempt on Gemmel
and a very, very successfulattempt on the late Mr. Cortez.
And the only thing
that really bothers me
about this whole
picture is you, McNeil.
We checked in your apartment.
My people tell me
it's spic and span.
It's clean.
No one's been there except you.
If you think that
I'm behind this.
It's time to say it.
Come on, this is bullshit.
He's clearly being set up.
Grasping at straws, team?
I want some answers.
How much would this viruscommand on the open market?
International arms market?
Ballpark, half a billion.
But only if you can
find the right buyer.
Attempts to kill
us make no sense.
We have video evidence.
We don't.
Excuse me?
MR. SAMUELS: 57 minutes ago,someone hacked into the imaging
system at the lab.
The footage was compromised.
So,
This puzzle
continues to fester.
You were all a big
part of this puzzle.
And until we figure
it out, I suggest
that you will remain here.
Your people can't
keep track of a video.
This ever happen before?
Has it?
BILL MCNEIL: So what?
We're supposed to
play bridge until you
find out who's behind this?
No.
You're going to help.
And ah we're going to getyou photos, and then photos,
and photos until
you have discovered
that that is the face
of the man that you
don't recognize from the plane.
And then it's just six degreesof separation from there
until we find the real manwho is behind all this.
And if that man is you?
Then we wouldn't be havingthis conversation right now.
RON SIMPSON: McNeil.
We've got a real problem here.
May we have a moment?
BOB MURDOCH: Yes.
Stressful business
we're in, isn't it?
[music playing]
RON SIMPSON: McNeil.
Are you out of your mind?
I begged you not to do this.
Ron, we are being set up.
For Christ sake, this
is what we do to people.
We put them in packages,tie little bows around them
and send them who knows where.
And now it's being done to us.
No.
No one here has any
reason to do that.
There's half a
billion reasons.
He wants us to stay here.
Why don't we just pitchat tent in the parking lot
and paint a bullseye on it?
Ron, if we stay here,
we're here forever.
We're not staying.
I'll see what I can do.
[soft piano music]
MIXED VOICES TALKING
ABOUT HALF A BILLION
[lightning and thunder]
BOB MURDOCH: What
about you, Ms. Gemmel?
What about me, sir?
Staying here, no problem?
I understand yourapartment is in shambles.
Well, I have a
cat that I should
really get back and feed.
A kitty.
He, she, it.
His name's Killer.
RON SIMPSON: Gemmel.
Could you wait outside?
Ah, no problem.
We need an option.
[music playing]
Gemmel, McNeil.
Thank you.
All right, he's got us
a safe house and a car.
It's either there or here.
I say we go for it.
What about weapons?
Standard issue in the car.
This is it?
And all the toys.
That would help.
Where we going, Ron?
RON SIMPSON: Police crime scene.
Hide in plain sight.
[low chime]
Oh, I can't believe
that Cortez is dead.
Oh.
I never should have left him.
SARA GEMMEL: And then Simpsonwould be dead and maybe me.
Don't blame yourself, McNeil.
The guy on the plane.
How did he know my name?
I'm going to bed.

[horn music]
Ron, I know you love
to keep the faith.
But Murdoch is no
longer in my good book.
Yeah.
OK.
What do we know?
Let's just take Murdoch down.
There are only
three of us left.
That's all he has to deal with.
We have no idea how many peopleare involved in this operation.
Well, what about
Murdoch's superior?
Murdoch's superior, whoever heis, could be involved in this.
Half a billion dollars
buys you a pretty army.
Suppose we could go to
the FBI or the papers.
And be a witness
who doesn't make
it through protective custody.
I pass on that.
Wait a minute, half abillion dollars, that's it.
What's it?
This guy has two choices.
He can either kill us andput the entire plan to bed.
Or you can reactivate
it with us in on it.
What do you mean?
Get it back and offer
it to him at a price.
And then take him down.
We've retrieved it once.
We could do it again.
This is so far-fetched.
We're deep enough in
the shit as it is.
Ron, I know you
love the rules.
There are no more.
Can you find out
where the virus is?
Probably.
[soft horn music]
[computer beep]
RON SIMPSON: It's in storagein a disposable facility,
viruses, toxins, and bacteria.
Liquid nitrogen is used tofreeze this stuff forever.
Looks pretty secure.
It is.
They do a lot of work
for the military.
I can get you in.
I can find out when the virusis to be destroyed and get
you in at the same time.
How do you get us in?
Well, it's a little moredifficult than it seems.
Five entrances all videomonitored and security guard
but I've got one angle.
[suspenseful music]
[computer beeps]
Video cameras one through fiveare replaying of jammed signal.
They're not going
to see you go in.
I wasn't happy when
Cortez used that.
I'm even less impressed
that you're using it.
But you're not going in there.
For luck.
We're gonna need it.
[intense music]
You've got 12 minutes.
After that destruction
of the target begins.

SARA GEMMEL: I've

You have eight minutes.
SARA GEMMEL: Five degreesnorth, northeast, 30

RON SIMPSON: What
you're looking for,
team, is a large liquid
nitrogen cistern.
The product is scheduled
for deep freeze storage
putting it in stasis forever.
BILL MCNEIL: How are
we going to get it out?
RON SIMPSON: Don't worry.
It's not frozen yet.
SARA GEMMEL: We're here.
Zeus, we found the grail.
Roger that.
Standing by.
BILL MCNEIL: I'm telling younow, it's a long way down.
RON SIMPSON: Hustle.

BILL MCNEIL: We're inside.
SARA GEMMEL: Ah, helooks strangely familiar.
BILL MCNEIL: OK.
Let's close it up.
DAVE TOOMBS: Don't bother.
I'll take that.
My associate has a gun on you.
To be a good little agent andpass up the virus, will you?
Easy.
Easy does it now.
So, this is the Mach 1 team.
And I thought you
were so big and bad.
You two went down as
easy as your friend.
[intense music]
Who are you?
How the hell did
you get in here?
Magic.
Zeus, we got company.
I'm blocking all

You think I'd be that stupid?

BILL MCNEIL: We got a bogie.
He's holding the virus.

We've got to get off the street.

There.
Good.

Check the news.
See if there's anything onabout what just happened.
The two are
sought in the theft
of an experimental defoliantfrom the Department
of Agriculture.
If released into theatmosphere, this defoliant could
have catastrophic results.
[news reporters talking on tv]
Not a bad cover
to flush us out.
Do you think the people
at the desk saw this?
I think we're secure.
Oh.
OK.
I'm going to run a bath.

Yeah?
BOB MURDOCK [ON PHONE]:

Agent Gemmel,
Agent McNeil, just
put your weapons down please.
BOB MURDOCK: All right everyone,just remain cool, remain calm.
There is no need for violence.
Gemmel, McNeil, it's beena busy evening I see.
We're leaving here alone.
Where you gonna go?
There's been a new development.
I have some new information I'mdying to share with you two.
So why don't you just
put down your weapons.
Put the guns down.
We don't trust you, Murdoch.
Well, what choice do you have?
I-- I'm holding
all the cards now.
You either spend 40
years at Leavenworth
or you come back to the fold.
What'll it be?
How about I blow
your head clean off?
[music playing]
Can I finish my cigar first?
I'd say we're fucked.
AGENTS TALKING IN
BACKGROUND ON RADIOS
OK, here's what we got.
We're tracking every kind oftransactional communication
possible, credit
card, long-distance,
domestic, and international.
Problem, half the
calls out of Washington
international long distance.
And what exactly
are we looking for?
Well, um that man youturned into a popsicle today.
His name was Leonard Jackson.
And this is?
That's the guy we saw.
BOB MURDOCK: His
name is David Toombs.
The description was perfect.
He works for a man
called Pierre Melo.
Now, arms sales is a
very shadowy business.
As we know, Melo is so
obscure, we don't even
know what he looks like.
And you think he's
behind all this?
Yes, yes I do.
We believe Melo's
in America right now.
OK.
How do we find him?
MR. SAMUELS:
Interpol has given us
a voice print on Dave Toombs.
We've established a phone sweepof the greater Washington area.
As soon as Toombs contactsMelo, we'll have a location.
And we'll go from there.
What's your next step?
MR. SAMUELS: We wait.
For how long?
It could take all night.
Well,
We have all night.
So you two can relax until wecall you and we're ready to go
to put you back on the clock.
Murdoch, how are you so surewe want to stay on the job?
Samuels, myself,
and you two are
the only ones left who know thatthe virus is still out there.
I'd like to keep it that way.
We need you on the team.
Do not force me to lock you up.
Because I will.
How did you find
us at the motel?
MR. SAMUELS: Microprocessorsin your weapons.
And the phone the new story?
Plausible deniability.
So it wasn't you after all.
No, it wasn't me.
And it wasn't you.
How about that?
OK, your apartment
is all set up.
Why don't you go relax,
change of clothes.
There's a whole complementof things waiting for you.
We'll call you when we need you.
Ah, that sounds good.
[soft music]
Bath time.
[soft music]
How's it coming?
Nothing yet.
Forensics is finished
with the van.
Hm.
No . prints no sign
of Mr Simpson's body.
And this was inside.
They pulled a chip.
How is that possible?
How is that possible?

[plane engine]
MR. SAMUELS: I've
done all I can.
Now we wait.
[computer alarm]
Whoa, got him.
Toombs?
Yes, perfect match.
Good, good, and this otherone here, is this Melo?
Could be.
He spoke French.
Good.
And you have where
the call was from?
I don't know yet.
It's a cell phone.
I can get you the radius.
But it will take time.
But you have where
the call went to?
- Embassy Suites.
- Good, good.
He's using the relaysystem to scramble the calls.
How much time?
How much time?
How much time?
- Give me five minutes.
I'll get the room.
Good.
[knocking]
SARA GEMMEL: Yeah?
[soft music]
Come in.
I thought you were sleeping.
Too tense I guess.
Hm, not me.
I don't want anything
to go wrong, Sara.
It won't or it will.
But either way we'll handle it.
I want to make
sure that you're
comfortable going
out of this now
that Ron and Cortez are gone.
My faith has
always been in you.
You don't know howmuch I need to hear that.
I know.
You're the last
one left, Sara.
Luck of the Irish I guess.
[phone rings]
We're on.
So, are we clear?
What kind of
backup do we have?
Samuels here is
going to go with you.
He will provide his
technical wizardry.
Otherwise, I just want
it to be your show.
He's going to come
with a lot of firepower.
I can appreciate that.
But let's not forget,
if he suspects anything,
the game is over
before it begins.
I want you to remember, ifyou fail, we will be there.
We'll come in and
ah do what we can,
but only if you drop the ball.
Good luck.
Nice pep talk, boss.
MR. SAMUELS: Yes.
He's tricky.
But I'm trickier.
Presidential suite.
Go.
Let's rock.
[powerful mission music]
Good luck.
Samuels?
Hm?
What are you
giving me this for?
Every weapon's gonna countwhen we get to this party.
I'm strategic and
technical, not ops.
But you do know
how to use it, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You point, you shoot, thebad guy falls down, right?
Good, good.
Now we're going

We just got to find it.
Ah, what do they need
to get out of here?
A plane.
Flight plan.
Melo won't use one.
Yeah.
You do not get off the groundin the President's hometown
without one, no
matter who you are.
SARA GEMMEL: Look,

There's going to be hundredsof international flight
plans filed.
Yeah, you're right.

But you gained an op specialist.
Where's Melo?
Dead.
It was Simpson.
What?
Melo was Simpson.
Incredible work, OK.
I want to thank you all again.
Incredible.
I still don't

[beads tapping on the pavement]

You see, I knew that youguys would go for the virus
once Simpson's hit on thesafe house didn't work out.
You knew it was him then?
I knew someone was
working on the inside.
I just didn't know whetherit was McNeil or Simpson.
And the real virus?
BOB MURDOCH: It's safe.
It's being cataloged rightnow at the lab with Forrest
Dennison, thank God.
This stuff here that
got from the toxic lab
is just bait to catch them all.
So we were just a decoy?
Yes, yes you were.
That sucks.
I have to follow orders too.
It's our job, people.
Get used to it.
Where you going?
We have fires burning people.
