False Colors (2020) - full transcript
A weapons inspector in Iraq discovers a biological agent of mysterious origin, propelling him into a shadowy world where truth is deadly.
Samir.
Samir!
Hey Price.
What the hell are you still
doing here?
Yeah, I missed the last
flight.
After you.
Background level's normal.
Chris, look at this.
These are ours.
There's Italian...
French...
And more American.
Yeah, they're from before
Desert Storm.
We must have missed 'em.
Hey.
There's no dates.
No dust either.
These are newer too.
Germs.
I'm gonna call this in.
They're sending some top
brass out here right now.
They want the cache burned.
We're not movin 'em?
They want them
destroyed, like yesterday.
Chris, those chemicals may
have expired,
but they're not safe to breathe,
okay?
Half your guys don't
even have adequate suits.
No gear.
We need to get out right now.
That's insane.
Are you really surprised?
Fuckin' desk jockeys.
I'm Special Assistant
to the White House.
It seems you have found
what we've been looking for.
Actually, this stuff isn't...
Good work, soldier.
I'll make sure your hard work is
noted.
Is this it?
Yes, sir.
Show it to me!
You are to leave the area
immediately, heading south.
As a matter of national
security,
you and your men are
prohibited from speaking
with anyone about what you found
here.
Any questions?
Procedure calls for us to
render all weapons useless
before leaving them.
Well, I'm rewriting procedure.
Says he's with the White
House.
They really wanna blow
this place off the map.
This could be a political
nightmare.
We invaded under the pretext
of controlling Saddam's WMD.
I gotta file this.
You weren't even supposed to
be here.
You Keller?
That's me.
The C.O. would like to
see you in his office.
You know, I was just coming to
see him.
Have fun.
Come in.
You should have left when the
others did.
I want your summary of
what happened today.
We found outdated WMD
that the U.S. and our allies
sold to Saddam in the late '80s
in violation in the
Biological Weapons Convention.
We found several rockets
with ranges exceeding
what we thought Saddam capable
of,
and several crates of warheads
with what looked like Iranian
markings.
Some suit from the White House
came in and lit the place up
before we could complete our
inspections.
Today's find was outdated
ammunition and Iraqi small arms.
I represent the IC, okay?
Accountability is all we have.
You're an American first.
Was it you that gave the order
that Price's men not wear their
suits?
It was a controlled blast!
And it was over 100 degrees out
there.
You got any further questions?
No, sir.
Then you're dismissed.
Sounds like you had an
interesting day.
Oh, yeah?
How's that?
C.O. was on the phone,
sounded like he gave himself an
aneurysm.
Brought up your name more than
once.
Appreciate it.
Keller?
Yeah?
Command received some
intel we gotta check out.
Just the ah, just the two of
us?
Base is overextended.
And since you're here, the
C.O. wants to put you to work.
This is it?
Looks like some bad
intel.
All right, let's check it out.
I'll be right behind you.
I got to ah... take a leak.
Ahhhh
Where's the C-130 headed?
Germany.
I bet you miss 'em huh?
Miss what?
Oh.
Yeah, I do.
Signed up for weekends stateside
man,
not this shit.
I need to be on that plane.
You got your clearance?
No... but, I'm aware of
your weight restrictions
and I'd have to... leave this
behind.
It's pressurized but you'll
need this.
If anybody ask ya, we never met.
Here ya go.
I haven't seen you since
Desert Fox.
Listen, I...
I need to lay low for a while,
and I also need a passport.
What's goin' on?
I gotta get back to the
States.
Since 9/11, there's far more
scrutiny
on civilian travel into the U.S.
I'll see what I can do.
The fact that the U.S. sold
weapons to Saddam in the 80s,
it's minimized in the media
but it's not exactly a secret.
It's not worth getting you
killed over.
We found crates with these
markings we didn't recognize
containing rockets and warheads
which
could possibly reach Israel.
Hmm.
A week ago, we were involved
in a firefight in Iraq,
close to the Iranian border.
We think they were Shiites.
They were moving crates across
the border.
One guy got killed and
they left a crate behind
with the exact same markings
and,
the guy that got killed was a
Westerner
Did you get an I.D.?
Nothing.
In all my years in
intelligence...
I've never seen anything like
it.
Your government, you have
a virtual stranglehold
on all the intel for that area.
To get information out of that
region,
it's virtually impossible.
Excuse me.
Ahhh.
Well, passport is out of the
question,
but I think I know something
even better.
Teddy?
Teddy.
They told me you were killed
by an IED in Nasiriyah.
Has anyone contacted you?
How could they make such a
mistake?
It was no mistake.
Has anyone contacted you?
Some guy from Veterans
Family Assistance...
came by a couple days after your
funeral.
I told him you were with the IC,
but he said that didn't matter.
I'm surprised they had the
resources.
Wait, what did he want?
He wanted to see if I was
okay.
He did ask if you mailed
me anything recently.
Mom, if anyone comes around,
okay,
if anyone comes looking for me,
they need to believe that I'm
dead.
Promise me.
I need to know that you
understand me.
Okay.
Nicholas?
He is,
he is gone, ma.
Oh, God.
Poor Cathy.
And now Chris in the V.A.
Hospital.
What?
Where?
Downtown.
Are you sure?
Yes.
I spoke with Marsha
online a couple weeks ago.
I need to see him.
Maybe he'll be able to help me.
There's something, there's
something I have to tell you.
Your father.
Shh.
Caprice, what are you doing over
there?
Come back over here, what have I
told you?
Oh my God, somebody help me!
Somebody help me!
Oh, my baby!
Oh, thank you so much!
Where did you come from?
I'm live at that train
station and right now
one lucky mother is very
thankful that her daughter
was saved after falling
on the subway tracks.
It happened at 10:29 this
morning.
Stephanie Lazar was on the
platform
with her three year old and an
infant.
The three year old fell onto the
tracks
as a train was approaching.
What happened next is truly
remarkable.
A bystander jumped onto the
tracks
and saved the three year old
from that oncoming train.
Now, we have a surveillance
photo
that shows the bystander,
but we don't know who he is.
Mrs. Lazar and city officials
want him to come forward
so they can recognize
him and give him thanks
for his heroism.
What's this?
The system just flagged
this, but it also has
this node leading back to NSA.
Do you know him?
I got some bad news.
Can I get ya anything
else, hon?
Oh yeah, another cup
would be great, thank you.
Coffee comin' up.
Thank you.
Hi, I would like a coffee,
please.
Sure.
Two.
I'll meet you outside?
Okay, cool.
You guys are gonna come next
week, right?
- Definitely.
- Of course.
We'll definitely be there.
I will e-mail you, I
will call you, I will text.
Bye.
Come here often?
Every war.
This is my first.
We're always thrilled to see
new faces.
The guy I saw you
with in the coffee shop,
is he a new face?
Have you been watching me?
He gave a memory card
from his camera to the cops.
Are you kidding?
Watch your back.
Hey, why are you telling me
this?
Let's just say we got a lot in
common.
Come on.
Amanda's World, Thursday at
eight.
Hey guys.
This is my new friend.
Ted.
Ted just told me that
that new guy, John,
is gathering our info for the
cops.
I don't even know what country
we're livin' in anymore.
Hey man.
Have, have a seat.
It's a live feed of the protest
route.
Iya... I... I... contribute to a
website that, that, maps out
all the camera locations around
the city.
Interesting hobby.
Yeah, you can barely
scratch your ass in this town
without, there being some sort
of permanent record of it.
What I'm really into, these
days,
is long-range, Earth-bound
telephotography.
Hmm?
There's, there's like,
only a few of us that do it.
We hook up cameras to
high powered telescopes
and then direct them on areas
that would
otherwise be off limits.
Hi tech peeping toms.
No, we focus on government
activities.
Those some may say that
that itself is pornographic.
Let me show you something.
These are some of my favorites.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Check it out.
That night, they were
experimenting with some sort
of plasma energy weapon.
What's this?
I took that in the hills
above an installation in Nevada.
Political transport?
No, check it out man,
that's, that's Air Force Two.
How do you know?
Whichever plane the
Vice-President happens
to be traveling on is
designated as Air Force Two.
This is a private
transport that's reserved
to take high-level political
types on short trips.
It arrived accompanied by two
F-14s.
I, I, I checked public records
of his whereabouts that day.
He was listed at a political
fundraiser in Nevada.
After that, his location
was, was undisclosed.
This plane in the
background here, this symbol,
do you know what that is?
I been tryin' to figure that
out, man.
That jet, it arrived
about a half hour earlier.
All right.
I shouldn't be too long.
Be right here.
I ain't goin' nowhere.
Dr. Isaacs dial
zero.
Oh.
Excuse me.
Excuse me.
The congressman will have to
leave directly after this.
Oh, of course, thanks.
Reality TV?
At least then we'd get some
coverage.
Soldiers deteriorating from the
inside out
just can't compete.
So, your congressman's a good
guy?
He's trying to expose
the true cost of the war.
I was just over there.
I'd like to speak to him in
private.
It involves soldiers' lives.
He's got a pretty full
schedule.
Okay, thank you.
Are you ready for your bath?
Where's the...
my God.
Damn, it's good to see you.
What happened?
Whatever we found was
enough for somebody to try
to send me home in a box.
What happened to you?
We started pulling out,
then the rockets came.
We were only about a quarter of
a mile
down the road when some of the
guys
started having problems
breathing.
We got our gear on, but,
it was bad, you know?
Chemical?
Symptoms aren't like
anything they have data on.
Some of the guys are spittin' up
blood.
And the military's tryin'
to say it's stress related.
What do they got you on?
It's experimental.
Had to sign some waiver.
Those pictures that you took,
do you still have 'em?
Yeah, I still have 'em.
They're in my house in Joshua
Tree.
And how are we, today?
I've been better, doc.
Listen man, I gotta go.
I'll come back soon.
Take care of yourself.
You, too.
And I think we're gonna bump
you up
to 750 milligrams today.
Come here, I wanna show you
something.
It's just right here.
That's my friend.
I got out in time.
He, he wasn't so lucky.
Five minutes earlier,
I'd be just like him.
I'll see what I can do.
That's it for today.
Thank you so much.
Welcome.
Sir, I would like to
introduce you to Mr....
Ted Keller.
Mr. Keller was recently
in Iraq and has information
that would be of interest to
you.
Well, it's a pleasure
to meet you, Mr. Keller.
So, what was your detail?
I was with the IC inspecting
leads on weapon sites.
Well, I'm sorry it turned
out the way that it did.
So what can I do to help you?
Actually, sir, I'd like to,
I'd like to speak in private.
Your meeting with the
committee in Washington
has been pushed down
to nine a.m. tomorrow.
Oh, Christ.
Should I tell them...
No, I need to be at this
one... ummmm.
You know what?
Have the plane ready early,
I'll fly back tonight.
I'm sorry, Mr. Keller
but my noose just got
a whole lot tighter.
You're scheduled to
have dinner at nine p.m.
With the Governor at
that restaurant you hate,
the one with the...
The whipped meat cappuccinos?
Yeah.
Yeah, let's raincheck that.
But send him a nice bottle of
cabernet to him and his wife
and would you make sure
it's a Californian?
Are you free for dinner?
I'm there.
Great.
Ileana, why don't you
call that French place
that Joe had suggested, say
seven o'clock?
Mr. Keller can tell me his
story over a bottle of red.
Actually, I'm more of a beer
guy.
I like you already.
All right, Ileana will
give you the details.
Great.
I'll see you there.
All right.
Cardiac arrest.
I need a crash cart in two three
one, now!
Shanae, Shanae, Shanae!
Shanae!
Shanae, right here, right here,
Shanae.
Right here, right here.
Over here, Shanae.
Right here, Shanae.
Okay, guys, that's it.
That's it for tonight.
I think you got it.
That's it, goodnight.
Here ya go.
Hey.
The congressman sends his
apologies.
They pushed up his flight.
He hoped you'd reconsider
and confide in me.
What, you don't mind
meeting strange men in bars?
Are there strange men here?
Are we staying for dinner?
My evening's suddenly open.
So, how does a nice
Russian girl come to work
for a U.S. Congressman?
A nice, American girl, you
mean.
I was born here, and my family
moved
back to Romania, not
Russia, when I was five.
What brought you back?
There's uh...
There's a lot of trouble back
home.
I have a little sister.
But she got...
Mixed up with some bad people.
I feel like all we're
doing is talking about me.
Okay, what do you,
what do you want to know?
You can tell me how you're
sitting in front of me
when supposedly you died
in Iraq two months ago.
That could be an interesting
story.
Wow, you really did your
homework, huh?
Mmm.
Well, we were told to
leave as the U.S. prepared
to invade, but there was
a lot of unsubstantiated
statements being released
as fact and I just,
I wanted to see the
inspections through to the end.
So, you stayed even
with bombs raining down?
Yeah well, I don't always
think things through.
Find anything?
That's what I wanted to
talk to the congressman about.
Come on.
We have to go.
Now!
What's going on?
Come on.
Leave me alone.
Was
killed today on a flight
returning to San Francisco.
The congressman plane went
down.
There are
no apparent causes yet.
Once again...
show that the flight log
lists Democratic Congressman
Carl Mathers of California and
three crew members on board.
There are no survivors.
Everyone's gone.
Everybody's gone.
There's no...
Right here, just pull in right
here.

Oh, I'm so sorry, sir.
We can't let you drive like
this.
All right, we'll call you a cab.
What do they want?
I'm a loose end.
How did they find you?
I don't know.
Hey!
Look, if the congressman's
plane crash
wasn't an accident, okay, and
you were
supposed to be with him, they
might not
even know about me.
What?
Me?
What would anyone want with me?
Do you have any other phones?
That's funny.
It's trying to connect.
No room service, but at
least it's on the water.
Don't move!
Empty your pockets.
Where's the car?
We should get rid of that.
Don't you feel a
little safer?
You know how to use that
thing?
Just point and shoot,
right?
What, were you raised by
mercenaries?
We pursued Miss Popescu to a
restaurant
in West Hollywood.
She slipped out the back with
this man.
Name's Ted Keller.
He's an IC weapons inspector,
one of ours.
He reportedly died in
Iraq three months ago.
What's she doing with
a weapons inspector?
NSA is calling up a search
for Mr. Keller in Los Angeles.
We don't know what their
interest in him is.
I want this thing
cleaned up immediately.
Yes, sir.
Damn.
Hey, Jim?
Yeah.
How's the wife?
Mmm, yeah, well, same here.
Hey listen, Jim, I need
to call in a favor.
The question is,
what do you know,
or what do they think that you
know?
Here.
This covers the last few months.
P. Faisal?
Saudi prince, one of
thousands.
He met with the congressman
in a closed door meeting.
I have no details.
And V.P., Vice President?
Yeah.
They had a brief meeting a few
days later.
Carl wanted more time but,
was only given five minutes.
That really made him angry.
I've never seen him like that.
What about this, what's this?
That's funny.
He never went into my book
before.
I mean, do you have
any idea what it's about?
Something to do with ah...
energy committee.
He usually likes...
liked... to have me along to take
notes.
But he began going to these
alone.
What about this one?
Next Wednesday.
That's energy, too.
A big one.
Some important international
guest are expected.
That's all I know.
If only I could see his notes.
Do you know where he kept 'em?
There is nothing in D.C..
He returned home to
San Fran most weekends.
They'd probably be there.
The system just picked
up some calls to reporters
that we've been monitoring that
seam
to have been made by Mr. Keller.
I'm having the transcripts sent
over now.
Did you get a location?
It's coming.
Send a man in.
I tried to call a few
reporters, but no one would bite.
It seems their jobs depend on
remaining
friendly to the administration.
I have lots of press contacts.
Why don't I make some calls?
It's not safe.
You need to stay off
everyone's radar right now.
Why were you so against
keeping the gun?
When I was 14,
a friend and I found my dad's
handgun.
I ah... picked it up and I
was checkin' the chamber,
trying to remember
everything he taught me.
Someone suddenly appeared in the
doorway.
I jumped.
The slide slipped and the gun
went off.
My dad had come home early from
work.
The, uh,
the bullet grazed his heart.
He spent the last 13
years in assisted living.
I was in hiding when he died.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Thank you for what you did
back there.
My pleasure.
Listen, I'm gonna go
out for a little while.
I want you to stay here.
I'm not staying here alone!
It's okay, I'll be right back,
okay?
Just keep looking through the
book.
See if you can find anything
else.
Thank you.
Mr. Keller.
Oh, here we go.
Cuanto cuesta?
Diez.
Diez.
Hola.
Hola.
Necesitamos ID's
Hello?
How long ago?
Look, I'd
rather talk in person.
Come in.
Look, I'm late for a
very important meeting.
This is your most
important meeting right now.
Okay, well, if it's so...
A man's body was found
at a hotel in Los Angeles.
Did you hear about that?
No, I...
He was in pursuit of an Ileana
Popescu.
Look, I...
Just save it, see...
We already know everything about
you.
I know when you eat, sleep and
piss.
You're feeling a little bit
compromised
by Miss Popsescu's existence,
but listen,
that doesn't concern me.
Your pursuit of her is getting
in my way,
and it will stop now.
You're crazy.
You better start talking some
sense.
We also know about your
trips to the Philippines.
Oh, the video of your, how
shall we say, liaisons.
God, if that were to come out,
that would be embarrassing.
Why did you come here?
Just lay off Popescu, okay?
Oh, and Keller, all right, just
drop it.
Bye.
Oh hey, man.
How's it goin'?
Hi.
Is Eva here?
Ah, no, she went to the store.
You guys wanna come in?
Thanks.
Hey Warren, we got company!
Oh, hey man.
I'm glad you're back.
There's something I wanna show
you.
I been doing some
research into the identity
of that tail fin in the photo.
I traced the call letters.
It's registered under a name
that doesn't
match the logo, Global
Investments,
but then I noticed that the
tail section had been repainted.
I had a buddy of mine at Cal
Research
enhance this and he came with an
I.D.
from the shadow of the raised
paint,
the Dupree Drug Corporation.
Now, I cross-checked
their Board of Directors
and major investors which led
me to the Nord Corporation.
Now, their logo, it's a
variation on this,
and they have virtually
the same Board of Directors
and are, are, are,
are in essence the same entity as Dupree.
Dupree transferred that
jet to Nord two years ago.
This is their website.
How many cameras are between
us here and say, Joshua Tree?
You mean all cameras?
Just the ones that could track
a car.
Yeah, well, we're not
quite at London numbers, yet,
but we're getting there fast.
What route?
Oh, shit.
Morning.
License and registration,
please.
What's going on?
Random sobriety check point.
At this hour?
It's ah... it's her car.
I.D., miss.
Have you been drinking?
Not a drop.
We're just trying to
get a jump on traffic.
Thank you, drive safely.
Thank you.
Happy Birthday.
Chris Price.
He, uh...
He's gone.
I'm so sorry.
Got 'em.
These were found with the
weapons we uncovered in Iraq.
This memo's dated April, 2001.
It seems Nord was supplying
biological agent to Iraq.
To use on Iran?
They're next on our list.
I thought there was an
embargo on trade with Iraq.
These didn't come
through normal channels.
What doesn't add up is that
Saddam knew
we really had it in
for him, and that if he
accepted these, that he'd no
longer
have deniability, we
would have had the proof
to get the public behind the
invasion
that 9/11 eventually made
possible.
No, he would have
thought it was a setup.
More likely, we quietly
supplied it to some dissidents,
and if Saddam captured
the weapons, he would have
hidden them from inspectors.
Maybe he didn't even know what
he had.
Either way, we would have been
tryin'
to get 'em back from
the moment we went in.
This one also has the Nord
symbol.
It seems to be a delivery
memo for a medical shipment
manufactured by...
The Dupree Drug Corporation.
This logo was on a
bottle of drugs they gave
Chris at the V.A.
What are you doin'?
Who, hey, hey, hey, we're
friends of Chris's, okay?
He just, he asked us to stop
by and pick up a few things.
I hope you're Cliff.
That's right.
There's a new car at
the Joshua Tree location.
Its plates were recently
reported stolen.
Hey, it's Jim.
We got a hit at that desert
house.
He's gotta be there, I know it.
I'm tired of swatting flies.
Just make sure you're accurate.
So, Chris said you were in
Vietnam.
I was a gunner on a Huey.
The whole reason for
going to war was a lie.
I mean, this... the current war.
It was a masterful use of
propaganda.
To what end?
Did you ever hear of the
Project for the New American
Century?
Are you expecting visitors?
Hell, no.
Listen, Cliff,
do you have a basement?
No!
What the hell's goin' on?
Chris is dead! Okay?
I should have told you earlier,
all right.
We found something in Iraq and
they killed him for it, okay?
And we're next.
What do you mean,
Chris is dead?
He's dead!
Okay, do you have any weapons?
His gun.
The gun's useless.
I'm out of ammo.
Hey, that's irreplaceable.
So am I.
Oh, shit!
Run for that hill.
Take cover.
Run?
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
We gotta get outta here.
Oh, man.
Hang on.
Hey honey.
Hey.
What kept you this time?
It's a constant shit storm.
Now that we've finally taken the
reins,
there's policy to undo.
The news is starting to say we
may never
find the WMD's.
We'll find 'em.
Just give it time.
Next summer, I want you
to take me on a cruise.
I'm gonna go to bed.
Try not to stay up too late,
okay?
I'll try.
Yeah?
I'm sure I don't have to tell
you
to initiate damage control.
We have got to pick up their
trail.
Is Black Widow operational yet?
Consider this a real world test.
I want you to go broad.
I was just at NSA.
Keller's become attached
to an Ileana Popescu,
a former aide to Congressman
Carl Mathers.
Cross-reference the archive,
run every pattern you got.
I want you to place special
emphasis
on their web usage,
compare typing patterns,
durations, every detail
and get me their location.
Call me on this line the
second you get something.
Don't worry about the hour.
Okay.
We should change your
dressing.
I have a friend
who's a doctor in Palm Springs.
Hey, this is a pleasant
surprise.
Oh my God.
What happened?
When did this happen?
What happened?
Bring him in, bring him in,
bring him in.
Let's get you on the chair
and take a look at this.
Honey, can you grab that
blanket?
This is a bullet wound.
We need to get you to a
hospital.
No hospitals.
Jim, we need to take
care of this here, quietly.
All finished?
Yeah, thank you.
Done?
Thank you.
Honey, could I see you
in the kitchen, please,
for a second?
Sure.
Excuse me.
She has a gun in her bag.
What are you talking about?
There's a gun in
her bag, I just saw a gun.
Here?
Yes.
I didn't want them staying last
night.
Why did they stay the night?
Why are they here?
I'll tell 'em we have
company coming this afternoon.
All right?
All right, here's the deal.
Cliff can stay and recuperate,
but we're expecting
guests this afternoon, so we're
gonna need
that second bedroom back.
Oh, of course, yeah.
Say, is there such a thing
as a directory of biologists?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure.
Here.
This should be a good start.
Hey, this isn't gonna get
anybody killed, is it?
Excuse me?
Well, it's just that
there's been so many
microbiologists showing up dead
recently.
Really?
There's only about five
scientists in the country
that could have engineered this
weapon.
And one of them happens to work
at Nord.
There's a laptop in the
kitchen.
Oh yeah?
Would you mind if we used
this real quick before we leave?
It's fine.
How do they keep finding us?
This is really startin' to
piss me off.
Well, there goes our tree cover.
What are you doin'?
Come on.
Hey.
Hey.
Come on.
Just a little farther, all
right?
Come on, let's head for
this canyon right here.
Come on.
Keep going.
Things didn't go as planned.
It seems our Dr. Sandenow is a
woman.
Bingo.
She uses an ATM at Beacon and
Broxton almost exclusively.
She makes deposits every
Wednesday at four p.m.
Today.
But not for three hours.
What should we do until then?
Where is she?
She'll be here.
There she is now.
What are you doing here today?
It's not Friday.
Afternoon, Dr. Sandenow.
Who are you?
Listen, you developed
a germ at Nord, which...
I don't know what you're
talking about.
You're trespassing.
It's been deployed
in the Middle East.
You need to leave.
I'm calling the police.
I was with the IC recently,
in Iraq and we came across
crates of biological
weapons bearing this symbol.
That means nothing to me.
You're one of five
scientists in the country
with the means and the
knowledge to engineer this.
And you're the only one
working for the company
that developed it.
My work improves the lives
of hundreds of thousands
of people around the globe each
year.
Wonder how many hundreds
of thousands will die
when this thing's used?
You need to leave now!
There's nothing I can do for
you.
I need a drink.
Can we continue, Doctor?
You say you saw those
symbols on a weapon.
On a medium-range rocket in
Iraq.
We found crates
bearing these markings.
My God.
What?
What is it?
I was told that the Iraqis
were developing this agent.
I was trying to replicate it so
that
an antidote could be perfected,
to protect our troops if
it were ever used on them.
It was never supposed to
be weaponized, not by us.
Surprise.
What exactly is it?
What does it do?
You don't want to know.
Try me!
It's a mutated version
of the Ebola virus that is
respiratorally spread and
engineered for airborne
transmission.
It rapidly induces
fever followed by severe
bleeding under the skin
that progresses throughout
the entire body.
Within two weeks, 99% of
those infected will die.
How do you test it?
My assignment was the germ
itself,
then the project was taken away
from me.
Others were brought in
to work on the vaccine.
Is it still being engineered?
Is it still local?
There was an accident,
a very close call,
and all research was taken
down to an underground lab
in the Santa Monica mountains.
The first round of testing
was just completed.
These were found in the
bunker.
This can't be.
What?
According to this, the agent
was delivered in April, 2001.
That's just five months
after I began work on it.
It hadn't even gone through
initial clinical trials yet.
How would you test something
like this?
Model organisms.
Rats.
Monkeys.
It's too dangerous to test on
humans.
The guard assigned to protect
these
said they were captured
from Iraqi dissidents.
Someone in our government
must have placed them there
planning to test them on a human
sample,
while at the same time
eliminating a regime
they wanted replaced.
That would be
barbaric.
And you're the one who
developed it.
What do you make of this?
What is it?
It means that the agent was...
Engineered to be ethnically
prejudicial.
What are you doing?
You're gonna tell your story
to a few reporters, or I am.
You're crazy.
I'm already constantly
looking over my shoulder.
I have a family, listen.
I don't wanna see this agent
deployed
any more than you do.
I can try to jeopardize the
tests,
introduce some bad data, but
speaking out
would be a death warrant for me.
There may be a way you can
help.
I was getting worried.
We're meetin' her
the day after tomorrow.
Now we should pay a visit to
Congressman Mathers's widow.
Sit down, please.
Mrs. Mathers, do you mind
if I use your bathroom?
No, of course.
Thank you.
I'm so sorry.
- It's okay.
- If there's anything...
Can I get you something to
drink?
No, no, no, don't worry, it's
okay.
I have a lot of food.
No, don't worry.
You must be exhausted.
No, I'm not.
- I miss...
- You have to want something.
I'll get you some water.
Did you find anything?
They cleaned out his
office, but they missed
the fax ribbon.
These are from an energy
meeting.
It took place two weeks before
the congressman's plane went
down.
I don't have that
meeting on his schedule.
These are meant for Congressman
Balin.
Carl replaced him mid-term after
Balin
suddenly left office.
Look at this.
Yeah, hello?
I'm calling about
your service disruption.
Do you have access to
today's German papers?
Yeah.
Good, get that one and I'll
call you back in 30 minutes.
Yeah.
There is someone there I
want to put you in touch with.
Do you have a pen?
Yeah, go ahead.
Five, 11, 17.
89, 94.
You get that?
Yep.
In one hour.
Take care of yourself, huh?
You, too.
Look, I'm not comfortable
being here,
so let's make it quick.
He said you might
know what these are.
This shows the assignment
of Iraqi oil fields
to various corporate interests.
It seems to be a recent
draft of an early version
I saw in 2000.
And uh,
how about these?
It's about the petrodollar
trade.
These were confiscated by the
F.B.I.
and came through my department.
I'm sure you recognize
the man on the right,
since his name is on the
documents you handed me.
He's funneled dozens of highly
sensitive
U.S. military secrets out of the
country
in return for large payments by
the man
on the left, a Turkish general.
Who's she?
You must be the only American
who doesn't recognize her.
Amanda Airdale, the reality
star.
So, what is she
doing with these two?
She was at the same hotel,
probably sweet-talked her
way into the reception.
She's an opportunist,
attracted to any situation
that might improve her
visibility.
There she is.
Good to see you again.
Let's go.
Welcome back, Doctor.
Thank you.
The main lab is hundreds
of feet directly below us.
When I get in, I'll do what I
can.
If I'm not back in two hours,
then you're on your own.
I wasn't expecting to
see you again so soon.
We're pressed for time.
I can move faster if I go
alone.
I need you to stay in.
How's the antidote coming?
It's nearly completed.
I'd like to see the samples.
(clanking
I just want to impress
upon you how dangerous
it is for you to be carrying
that around.
Thanks for your concern.
We know the way.
You can't do this.
What's in that box could
end life as we know it.
Do I have to do everything
myself?
Hey!
Lock it down, lock it
down!
Sir!
All right.
I've done what I can.
We should know if you're in the
clear
within the next 24 hours, but
until then,
I need you to stay in isolation.
Well, thanks for gettin'
down here so quickly, Bill.
All right, well call
me if anything changes.
All right.
Jim, are we secure?
Yeah.
Keller was at the lab.
He what?
It was released.
I need that sample.
Sandenow gave me
a vial of the antidote
before she uh...
She died.
Found a way out, and
ah... stayed in the mountains
util I wasn't contagious.
We should go.
What's your position on
yesterday's U.S. drone strike?
These terrorists have
to be taught who's boss.
Heh, Send 'em back to hell
where they belong, eh?
Ask him about his ties to
Turkish General Savas Demir.
Do you want to comment on
that?
I don't know what he's talking
about.
Nah, get him to open up about
his plans
for the Middle East.
One comment.
No, no comment.
What is this?
Nobody'll believe this.
I suggest you enjoy your
final few days in office.
I've decided I'm going to try
to
fill the congressman's
seat and continue his work.
Are you sure?
You'll have to constantly be on
guard.
At least I won't be in hiding.
You know I can't stay, right?
When?
I gotta keep moving.
Where will you go?
I thought I'd look up
some distant relatives.
Will I see you again?
Come here, there's
something I want to show you.
I have sworn upon the alter of
God,
eternal hostility against
every form of tyranny
over the mind of man.
Run, run, run!
Let go of me!
Get in!
Leave me alone!
Mr. Keller.
I am happier to see you
than you might think.
Because you, sir, are living
proof that the antidote works.
What do you want from me?
Well, Ted, the other vial.
There were two, now
there's clearly only one.
Listen, I'm not authorized
to tell you this, but,
a highly respected
member of our government
was exposed to the agent
that was released in there.
He needs that antidote.
He'd be dead in days.
And if you're planning to
deploy that germ into Israel
with an Iranian rocket
without the antidote,
that'd be suicide.
Interesting.
Why would anyone do that?
To get public support
for an invasion of Iran.
The U.S. economy would
collapse if the world
stopped trading oil
against the U.S. dollar
as Iraq has recently.
My job
is making sure there is a world
there
when we wake up in the morning,
that we do not go from the
greatest nation on Earth
to some Third World cesspool.
If the U.S. currency is
ever replaced by the Euro
as the basis of the world energy
trade,
we are talking World War Three,
my friend.
How many lives would be lost
then?
You would never let that
happen.
You want the oil.
Listen, I want you, just,
I want you to think about one
thing.
Right now, you might, be
permitted
to live out some semblance
of a decent life.
I don't have it.
Sandenow gave me the only
vial she took from the lab.
You know, I am tempted to
believe you...
But I know some other people who
won't.
Well, Ted, hey, we all gotta
make our own choices, don't we?
Don't we?
Let's go.
Keep eyes on him,
but don't let him see you.
We're watchin' him.
If he has it, he'll lead us to
it.
I need results.
Now!
Pull over.
I'll cut him off.
Leave
me
alone!
Hi.
Hey.
So, did you sleep well?
Yeah.
Have a good one.
Thanks, you too.
Excuse me.
Do you know the way to
the Havapai Reservation?
Havapai Reservation?
Well.
Hmm.
Ain't gettin' too many
people asking me about that.
You must really want to
get away from it all, huh?
You could say that.
Just go down this way.
All the way to end,
right, and take a left.
Keep on goin', 'til you don't
see no more civilization.
You'll find 'em there.
Thanks.
Samir!
Hey Price.
What the hell are you still
doing here?
Yeah, I missed the last
flight.
After you.
Background level's normal.
Chris, look at this.
These are ours.
There's Italian...
French...
And more American.
Yeah, they're from before
Desert Storm.
We must have missed 'em.
Hey.
There's no dates.
No dust either.
These are newer too.
Germs.
I'm gonna call this in.
They're sending some top
brass out here right now.
They want the cache burned.
We're not movin 'em?
They want them
destroyed, like yesterday.
Chris, those chemicals may
have expired,
but they're not safe to breathe,
okay?
Half your guys don't
even have adequate suits.
No gear.
We need to get out right now.
That's insane.
Are you really surprised?
Fuckin' desk jockeys.
I'm Special Assistant
to the White House.
It seems you have found
what we've been looking for.
Actually, this stuff isn't...
Good work, soldier.
I'll make sure your hard work is
noted.
Is this it?
Yes, sir.
Show it to me!
You are to leave the area
immediately, heading south.
As a matter of national
security,
you and your men are
prohibited from speaking
with anyone about what you found
here.
Any questions?
Procedure calls for us to
render all weapons useless
before leaving them.
Well, I'm rewriting procedure.
Says he's with the White
House.
They really wanna blow
this place off the map.
This could be a political
nightmare.
We invaded under the pretext
of controlling Saddam's WMD.
I gotta file this.
You weren't even supposed to
be here.
You Keller?
That's me.
The C.O. would like to
see you in his office.
You know, I was just coming to
see him.
Have fun.
Come in.
You should have left when the
others did.
I want your summary of
what happened today.
We found outdated WMD
that the U.S. and our allies
sold to Saddam in the late '80s
in violation in the
Biological Weapons Convention.
We found several rockets
with ranges exceeding
what we thought Saddam capable
of,
and several crates of warheads
with what looked like Iranian
markings.
Some suit from the White House
came in and lit the place up
before we could complete our
inspections.
Today's find was outdated
ammunition and Iraqi small arms.
I represent the IC, okay?
Accountability is all we have.
You're an American first.
Was it you that gave the order
that Price's men not wear their
suits?
It was a controlled blast!
And it was over 100 degrees out
there.
You got any further questions?
No, sir.
Then you're dismissed.
Sounds like you had an
interesting day.
Oh, yeah?
How's that?
C.O. was on the phone,
sounded like he gave himself an
aneurysm.
Brought up your name more than
once.
Appreciate it.
Keller?
Yeah?
Command received some
intel we gotta check out.
Just the ah, just the two of
us?
Base is overextended.
And since you're here, the
C.O. wants to put you to work.
This is it?
Looks like some bad
intel.
All right, let's check it out.
I'll be right behind you.
I got to ah... take a leak.
Ahhhh
Where's the C-130 headed?
Germany.
I bet you miss 'em huh?
Miss what?
Oh.
Yeah, I do.
Signed up for weekends stateside
man,
not this shit.
I need to be on that plane.
You got your clearance?
No... but, I'm aware of
your weight restrictions
and I'd have to... leave this
behind.
It's pressurized but you'll
need this.
If anybody ask ya, we never met.
Here ya go.
I haven't seen you since
Desert Fox.
Listen, I...
I need to lay low for a while,
and I also need a passport.
What's goin' on?
I gotta get back to the
States.
Since 9/11, there's far more
scrutiny
on civilian travel into the U.S.
I'll see what I can do.
The fact that the U.S. sold
weapons to Saddam in the 80s,
it's minimized in the media
but it's not exactly a secret.
It's not worth getting you
killed over.
We found crates with these
markings we didn't recognize
containing rockets and warheads
which
could possibly reach Israel.
Hmm.
A week ago, we were involved
in a firefight in Iraq,
close to the Iranian border.
We think they were Shiites.
They were moving crates across
the border.
One guy got killed and
they left a crate behind
with the exact same markings
and,
the guy that got killed was a
Westerner
Did you get an I.D.?
Nothing.
In all my years in
intelligence...
I've never seen anything like
it.
Your government, you have
a virtual stranglehold
on all the intel for that area.
To get information out of that
region,
it's virtually impossible.
Excuse me.
Ahhh.
Well, passport is out of the
question,
but I think I know something
even better.
Teddy?
Teddy.
They told me you were killed
by an IED in Nasiriyah.
Has anyone contacted you?
How could they make such a
mistake?
It was no mistake.
Has anyone contacted you?
Some guy from Veterans
Family Assistance...
came by a couple days after your
funeral.
I told him you were with the IC,
but he said that didn't matter.
I'm surprised they had the
resources.
Wait, what did he want?
He wanted to see if I was
okay.
He did ask if you mailed
me anything recently.
Mom, if anyone comes around,
okay,
if anyone comes looking for me,
they need to believe that I'm
dead.
Promise me.
I need to know that you
understand me.
Okay.
Nicholas?
He is,
he is gone, ma.
Oh, God.
Poor Cathy.
And now Chris in the V.A.
Hospital.
What?
Where?
Downtown.
Are you sure?
Yes.
I spoke with Marsha
online a couple weeks ago.
I need to see him.
Maybe he'll be able to help me.
There's something, there's
something I have to tell you.
Your father.
Shh.
Caprice, what are you doing over
there?
Come back over here, what have I
told you?
Oh my God, somebody help me!
Somebody help me!
Oh, my baby!
Oh, thank you so much!
Where did you come from?
I'm live at that train
station and right now
one lucky mother is very
thankful that her daughter
was saved after falling
on the subway tracks.
It happened at 10:29 this
morning.
Stephanie Lazar was on the
platform
with her three year old and an
infant.
The three year old fell onto the
tracks
as a train was approaching.
What happened next is truly
remarkable.
A bystander jumped onto the
tracks
and saved the three year old
from that oncoming train.
Now, we have a surveillance
photo
that shows the bystander,
but we don't know who he is.
Mrs. Lazar and city officials
want him to come forward
so they can recognize
him and give him thanks
for his heroism.
What's this?
The system just flagged
this, but it also has
this node leading back to NSA.
Do you know him?
I got some bad news.
Can I get ya anything
else, hon?
Oh yeah, another cup
would be great, thank you.
Coffee comin' up.
Thank you.
Hi, I would like a coffee,
please.
Sure.
Two.
I'll meet you outside?
Okay, cool.
You guys are gonna come next
week, right?
- Definitely.
- Of course.
We'll definitely be there.
I will e-mail you, I
will call you, I will text.
Bye.
Come here often?
Every war.
This is my first.
We're always thrilled to see
new faces.
The guy I saw you
with in the coffee shop,
is he a new face?
Have you been watching me?
He gave a memory card
from his camera to the cops.
Are you kidding?
Watch your back.
Hey, why are you telling me
this?
Let's just say we got a lot in
common.
Come on.
Amanda's World, Thursday at
eight.
Hey guys.
This is my new friend.
Ted.
Ted just told me that
that new guy, John,
is gathering our info for the
cops.
I don't even know what country
we're livin' in anymore.
Hey man.
Have, have a seat.
It's a live feed of the protest
route.
Iya... I... I... contribute to a
website that, that, maps out
all the camera locations around
the city.
Interesting hobby.
Yeah, you can barely
scratch your ass in this town
without, there being some sort
of permanent record of it.
What I'm really into, these
days,
is long-range, Earth-bound
telephotography.
Hmm?
There's, there's like,
only a few of us that do it.
We hook up cameras to
high powered telescopes
and then direct them on areas
that would
otherwise be off limits.
Hi tech peeping toms.
No, we focus on government
activities.
Those some may say that
that itself is pornographic.
Let me show you something.
These are some of my favorites.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Check it out.
That night, they were
experimenting with some sort
of plasma energy weapon.
What's this?
I took that in the hills
above an installation in Nevada.
Political transport?
No, check it out man,
that's, that's Air Force Two.
How do you know?
Whichever plane the
Vice-President happens
to be traveling on is
designated as Air Force Two.
This is a private
transport that's reserved
to take high-level political
types on short trips.
It arrived accompanied by two
F-14s.
I, I, I checked public records
of his whereabouts that day.
He was listed at a political
fundraiser in Nevada.
After that, his location
was, was undisclosed.
This plane in the
background here, this symbol,
do you know what that is?
I been tryin' to figure that
out, man.
That jet, it arrived
about a half hour earlier.
All right.
I shouldn't be too long.
Be right here.
I ain't goin' nowhere.
Dr. Isaacs dial
zero.
Oh.
Excuse me.
Excuse me.
The congressman will have to
leave directly after this.
Oh, of course, thanks.
Reality TV?
At least then we'd get some
coverage.
Soldiers deteriorating from the
inside out
just can't compete.
So, your congressman's a good
guy?
He's trying to expose
the true cost of the war.
I was just over there.
I'd like to speak to him in
private.
It involves soldiers' lives.
He's got a pretty full
schedule.
Okay, thank you.
Are you ready for your bath?
Where's the...
my God.
Damn, it's good to see you.
What happened?
Whatever we found was
enough for somebody to try
to send me home in a box.
What happened to you?
We started pulling out,
then the rockets came.
We were only about a quarter of
a mile
down the road when some of the
guys
started having problems
breathing.
We got our gear on, but,
it was bad, you know?
Chemical?
Symptoms aren't like
anything they have data on.
Some of the guys are spittin' up
blood.
And the military's tryin'
to say it's stress related.
What do they got you on?
It's experimental.
Had to sign some waiver.
Those pictures that you took,
do you still have 'em?
Yeah, I still have 'em.
They're in my house in Joshua
Tree.
And how are we, today?
I've been better, doc.
Listen man, I gotta go.
I'll come back soon.
Take care of yourself.
You, too.
And I think we're gonna bump
you up
to 750 milligrams today.
Come here, I wanna show you
something.
It's just right here.
That's my friend.
I got out in time.
He, he wasn't so lucky.
Five minutes earlier,
I'd be just like him.
I'll see what I can do.
That's it for today.
Thank you so much.
Welcome.
Sir, I would like to
introduce you to Mr....
Ted Keller.
Mr. Keller was recently
in Iraq and has information
that would be of interest to
you.
Well, it's a pleasure
to meet you, Mr. Keller.
So, what was your detail?
I was with the IC inspecting
leads on weapon sites.
Well, I'm sorry it turned
out the way that it did.
So what can I do to help you?
Actually, sir, I'd like to,
I'd like to speak in private.
Your meeting with the
committee in Washington
has been pushed down
to nine a.m. tomorrow.
Oh, Christ.
Should I tell them...
No, I need to be at this
one... ummmm.
You know what?
Have the plane ready early,
I'll fly back tonight.
I'm sorry, Mr. Keller
but my noose just got
a whole lot tighter.
You're scheduled to
have dinner at nine p.m.
With the Governor at
that restaurant you hate,
the one with the...
The whipped meat cappuccinos?
Yeah.
Yeah, let's raincheck that.
But send him a nice bottle of
cabernet to him and his wife
and would you make sure
it's a Californian?
Are you free for dinner?
I'm there.
Great.
Ileana, why don't you
call that French place
that Joe had suggested, say
seven o'clock?
Mr. Keller can tell me his
story over a bottle of red.
Actually, I'm more of a beer
guy.
I like you already.
All right, Ileana will
give you the details.
Great.
I'll see you there.
All right.
Cardiac arrest.
I need a crash cart in two three
one, now!
Shanae, Shanae, Shanae!
Shanae!
Shanae, right here, right here,
Shanae.
Right here, right here.
Over here, Shanae.
Right here, Shanae.
Okay, guys, that's it.
That's it for tonight.
I think you got it.
That's it, goodnight.
Here ya go.
Hey.
The congressman sends his
apologies.
They pushed up his flight.
He hoped you'd reconsider
and confide in me.
What, you don't mind
meeting strange men in bars?
Are there strange men here?
Are we staying for dinner?
My evening's suddenly open.
So, how does a nice
Russian girl come to work
for a U.S. Congressman?
A nice, American girl, you
mean.
I was born here, and my family
moved
back to Romania, not
Russia, when I was five.
What brought you back?
There's uh...
There's a lot of trouble back
home.
I have a little sister.
But she got...
Mixed up with some bad people.
I feel like all we're
doing is talking about me.
Okay, what do you,
what do you want to know?
You can tell me how you're
sitting in front of me
when supposedly you died
in Iraq two months ago.
That could be an interesting
story.
Wow, you really did your
homework, huh?
Mmm.
Well, we were told to
leave as the U.S. prepared
to invade, but there was
a lot of unsubstantiated
statements being released
as fact and I just,
I wanted to see the
inspections through to the end.
So, you stayed even
with bombs raining down?
Yeah well, I don't always
think things through.
Find anything?
That's what I wanted to
talk to the congressman about.
Come on.
We have to go.
Now!
What's going on?
Come on.
Leave me alone.
Was
killed today on a flight
returning to San Francisco.
The congressman plane went
down.
There are
no apparent causes yet.
Once again...
show that the flight log
lists Democratic Congressman
Carl Mathers of California and
three crew members on board.
There are no survivors.
Everyone's gone.
Everybody's gone.
There's no...
Right here, just pull in right
here.

Oh, I'm so sorry, sir.
We can't let you drive like
this.
All right, we'll call you a cab.
What do they want?
I'm a loose end.
How did they find you?
I don't know.
Hey!
Look, if the congressman's
plane crash
wasn't an accident, okay, and
you were
supposed to be with him, they
might not
even know about me.
What?
Me?
What would anyone want with me?
Do you have any other phones?
That's funny.
It's trying to connect.
No room service, but at
least it's on the water.
Don't move!
Empty your pockets.
Where's the car?
We should get rid of that.
Don't you feel a
little safer?
You know how to use that
thing?
Just point and shoot,
right?
What, were you raised by
mercenaries?
We pursued Miss Popescu to a
restaurant
in West Hollywood.
She slipped out the back with
this man.
Name's Ted Keller.
He's an IC weapons inspector,
one of ours.
He reportedly died in
Iraq three months ago.
What's she doing with
a weapons inspector?
NSA is calling up a search
for Mr. Keller in Los Angeles.
We don't know what their
interest in him is.
I want this thing
cleaned up immediately.
Yes, sir.
Damn.
Hey, Jim?
Yeah.
How's the wife?
Mmm, yeah, well, same here.
Hey listen, Jim, I need
to call in a favor.
The question is,
what do you know,
or what do they think that you
know?
Here.
This covers the last few months.
P. Faisal?
Saudi prince, one of
thousands.
He met with the congressman
in a closed door meeting.
I have no details.
And V.P., Vice President?
Yeah.
They had a brief meeting a few
days later.
Carl wanted more time but,
was only given five minutes.
That really made him angry.
I've never seen him like that.
What about this, what's this?
That's funny.
He never went into my book
before.
I mean, do you have
any idea what it's about?
Something to do with ah...
energy committee.
He usually likes...
liked... to have me along to take
notes.
But he began going to these
alone.
What about this one?
Next Wednesday.
That's energy, too.
A big one.
Some important international
guest are expected.
That's all I know.
If only I could see his notes.
Do you know where he kept 'em?
There is nothing in D.C..
He returned home to
San Fran most weekends.
They'd probably be there.
The system just picked
up some calls to reporters
that we've been monitoring that
seam
to have been made by Mr. Keller.
I'm having the transcripts sent
over now.
Did you get a location?
It's coming.
Send a man in.
I tried to call a few
reporters, but no one would bite.
It seems their jobs depend on
remaining
friendly to the administration.
I have lots of press contacts.
Why don't I make some calls?
It's not safe.
You need to stay off
everyone's radar right now.
Why were you so against
keeping the gun?
When I was 14,
a friend and I found my dad's
handgun.
I ah... picked it up and I
was checkin' the chamber,
trying to remember
everything he taught me.
Someone suddenly appeared in the
doorway.
I jumped.
The slide slipped and the gun
went off.
My dad had come home early from
work.
The, uh,
the bullet grazed his heart.
He spent the last 13
years in assisted living.
I was in hiding when he died.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Thank you for what you did
back there.
My pleasure.
Listen, I'm gonna go
out for a little while.
I want you to stay here.
I'm not staying here alone!
It's okay, I'll be right back,
okay?
Just keep looking through the
book.
See if you can find anything
else.
Thank you.
Mr. Keller.
Oh, here we go.
Cuanto cuesta?
Diez.
Diez.
Hola.
Hola.
Necesitamos ID's
Hello?
How long ago?
Look, I'd
rather talk in person.
Come in.
Look, I'm late for a
very important meeting.
This is your most
important meeting right now.
Okay, well, if it's so...
A man's body was found
at a hotel in Los Angeles.
Did you hear about that?
No, I...
He was in pursuit of an Ileana
Popescu.
Look, I...
Just save it, see...
We already know everything about
you.
I know when you eat, sleep and
piss.
You're feeling a little bit
compromised
by Miss Popsescu's existence,
but listen,
that doesn't concern me.
Your pursuit of her is getting
in my way,
and it will stop now.
You're crazy.
You better start talking some
sense.
We also know about your
trips to the Philippines.
Oh, the video of your, how
shall we say, liaisons.
God, if that were to come out,
that would be embarrassing.
Why did you come here?
Just lay off Popescu, okay?
Oh, and Keller, all right, just
drop it.
Bye.
Oh hey, man.
How's it goin'?
Hi.
Is Eva here?
Ah, no, she went to the store.
You guys wanna come in?
Thanks.
Hey Warren, we got company!
Oh, hey man.
I'm glad you're back.
There's something I wanna show
you.
I been doing some
research into the identity
of that tail fin in the photo.
I traced the call letters.
It's registered under a name
that doesn't
match the logo, Global
Investments,
but then I noticed that the
tail section had been repainted.
I had a buddy of mine at Cal
Research
enhance this and he came with an
I.D.
from the shadow of the raised
paint,
the Dupree Drug Corporation.
Now, I cross-checked
their Board of Directors
and major investors which led
me to the Nord Corporation.
Now, their logo, it's a
variation on this,
and they have virtually
the same Board of Directors
and are, are, are,
are in essence the same entity as Dupree.
Dupree transferred that
jet to Nord two years ago.
This is their website.
How many cameras are between
us here and say, Joshua Tree?
You mean all cameras?
Just the ones that could track
a car.
Yeah, well, we're not
quite at London numbers, yet,
but we're getting there fast.
What route?
Oh, shit.
Morning.
License and registration,
please.
What's going on?
Random sobriety check point.
At this hour?
It's ah... it's her car.
I.D., miss.
Have you been drinking?
Not a drop.
We're just trying to
get a jump on traffic.
Thank you, drive safely.
Thank you.
Happy Birthday.
Chris Price.
He, uh...
He's gone.
I'm so sorry.
Got 'em.
These were found with the
weapons we uncovered in Iraq.
This memo's dated April, 2001.
It seems Nord was supplying
biological agent to Iraq.
To use on Iran?
They're next on our list.
I thought there was an
embargo on trade with Iraq.
These didn't come
through normal channels.
What doesn't add up is that
Saddam knew
we really had it in
for him, and that if he
accepted these, that he'd no
longer
have deniability, we
would have had the proof
to get the public behind the
invasion
that 9/11 eventually made
possible.
No, he would have
thought it was a setup.
More likely, we quietly
supplied it to some dissidents,
and if Saddam captured
the weapons, he would have
hidden them from inspectors.
Maybe he didn't even know what
he had.
Either way, we would have been
tryin'
to get 'em back from
the moment we went in.
This one also has the Nord
symbol.
It seems to be a delivery
memo for a medical shipment
manufactured by...
The Dupree Drug Corporation.
This logo was on a
bottle of drugs they gave
Chris at the V.A.
What are you doin'?
Who, hey, hey, hey, we're
friends of Chris's, okay?
He just, he asked us to stop
by and pick up a few things.
I hope you're Cliff.
That's right.
There's a new car at
the Joshua Tree location.
Its plates were recently
reported stolen.
Hey, it's Jim.
We got a hit at that desert
house.
He's gotta be there, I know it.
I'm tired of swatting flies.
Just make sure you're accurate.
So, Chris said you were in
Vietnam.
I was a gunner on a Huey.
The whole reason for
going to war was a lie.
I mean, this... the current war.
It was a masterful use of
propaganda.
To what end?
Did you ever hear of the
Project for the New American
Century?
Are you expecting visitors?
Hell, no.
Listen, Cliff,
do you have a basement?
No!
What the hell's goin' on?
Chris is dead! Okay?
I should have told you earlier,
all right.
We found something in Iraq and
they killed him for it, okay?
And we're next.
What do you mean,
Chris is dead?
He's dead!
Okay, do you have any weapons?
His gun.
The gun's useless.
I'm out of ammo.
Hey, that's irreplaceable.
So am I.
Oh, shit!
Run for that hill.
Take cover.
Run?
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
We gotta get outta here.
Oh, man.
Hang on.
Hey honey.
Hey.
What kept you this time?
It's a constant shit storm.
Now that we've finally taken the
reins,
there's policy to undo.
The news is starting to say we
may never
find the WMD's.
We'll find 'em.
Just give it time.
Next summer, I want you
to take me on a cruise.
I'm gonna go to bed.
Try not to stay up too late,
okay?
I'll try.
Yeah?
I'm sure I don't have to tell
you
to initiate damage control.
We have got to pick up their
trail.
Is Black Widow operational yet?
Consider this a real world test.
I want you to go broad.
I was just at NSA.
Keller's become attached
to an Ileana Popescu,
a former aide to Congressman
Carl Mathers.
Cross-reference the archive,
run every pattern you got.
I want you to place special
emphasis
on their web usage,
compare typing patterns,
durations, every detail
and get me their location.
Call me on this line the
second you get something.
Don't worry about the hour.
Okay.
We should change your
dressing.
I have a friend
who's a doctor in Palm Springs.
Hey, this is a pleasant
surprise.
Oh my God.
What happened?
When did this happen?
What happened?
Bring him in, bring him in,
bring him in.
Let's get you on the chair
and take a look at this.
Honey, can you grab that
blanket?
This is a bullet wound.
We need to get you to a
hospital.
No hospitals.
Jim, we need to take
care of this here, quietly.
All finished?
Yeah, thank you.
Done?
Thank you.
Honey, could I see you
in the kitchen, please,
for a second?
Sure.
Excuse me.
She has a gun in her bag.
What are you talking about?
There's a gun in
her bag, I just saw a gun.
Here?
Yes.
I didn't want them staying last
night.
Why did they stay the night?
Why are they here?
I'll tell 'em we have
company coming this afternoon.
All right?
All right, here's the deal.
Cliff can stay and recuperate,
but we're expecting
guests this afternoon, so we're
gonna need
that second bedroom back.
Oh, of course, yeah.
Say, is there such a thing
as a directory of biologists?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure.
Here.
This should be a good start.
Hey, this isn't gonna get
anybody killed, is it?
Excuse me?
Well, it's just that
there's been so many
microbiologists showing up dead
recently.
Really?
There's only about five
scientists in the country
that could have engineered this
weapon.
And one of them happens to work
at Nord.
There's a laptop in the
kitchen.
Oh yeah?
Would you mind if we used
this real quick before we leave?
It's fine.
How do they keep finding us?
This is really startin' to
piss me off.
Well, there goes our tree cover.
What are you doin'?
Come on.
Hey.
Hey.
Come on.
Just a little farther, all
right?
Come on, let's head for
this canyon right here.
Come on.
Keep going.
Things didn't go as planned.
It seems our Dr. Sandenow is a
woman.
Bingo.
She uses an ATM at Beacon and
Broxton almost exclusively.
She makes deposits every
Wednesday at four p.m.
Today.
But not for three hours.
What should we do until then?
Where is she?
She'll be here.
There she is now.
What are you doing here today?
It's not Friday.
Afternoon, Dr. Sandenow.
Who are you?
Listen, you developed
a germ at Nord, which...
I don't know what you're
talking about.
You're trespassing.
It's been deployed
in the Middle East.
You need to leave.
I'm calling the police.
I was with the IC recently,
in Iraq and we came across
crates of biological
weapons bearing this symbol.
That means nothing to me.
You're one of five
scientists in the country
with the means and the
knowledge to engineer this.
And you're the only one
working for the company
that developed it.
My work improves the lives
of hundreds of thousands
of people around the globe each
year.
Wonder how many hundreds
of thousands will die
when this thing's used?
You need to leave now!
There's nothing I can do for
you.
I need a drink.
Can we continue, Doctor?
You say you saw those
symbols on a weapon.
On a medium-range rocket in
Iraq.
We found crates
bearing these markings.
My God.
What?
What is it?
I was told that the Iraqis
were developing this agent.
I was trying to replicate it so
that
an antidote could be perfected,
to protect our troops if
it were ever used on them.
It was never supposed to
be weaponized, not by us.
Surprise.
What exactly is it?
What does it do?
You don't want to know.
Try me!
It's a mutated version
of the Ebola virus that is
respiratorally spread and
engineered for airborne
transmission.
It rapidly induces
fever followed by severe
bleeding under the skin
that progresses throughout
the entire body.
Within two weeks, 99% of
those infected will die.
How do you test it?
My assignment was the germ
itself,
then the project was taken away
from me.
Others were brought in
to work on the vaccine.
Is it still being engineered?
Is it still local?
There was an accident,
a very close call,
and all research was taken
down to an underground lab
in the Santa Monica mountains.
The first round of testing
was just completed.
These were found in the
bunker.
This can't be.
What?
According to this, the agent
was delivered in April, 2001.
That's just five months
after I began work on it.
It hadn't even gone through
initial clinical trials yet.
How would you test something
like this?
Model organisms.
Rats.
Monkeys.
It's too dangerous to test on
humans.
The guard assigned to protect
these
said they were captured
from Iraqi dissidents.
Someone in our government
must have placed them there
planning to test them on a human
sample,
while at the same time
eliminating a regime
they wanted replaced.
That would be
barbaric.
And you're the one who
developed it.
What do you make of this?
What is it?
It means that the agent was...
Engineered to be ethnically
prejudicial.
What are you doing?
You're gonna tell your story
to a few reporters, or I am.
You're crazy.
I'm already constantly
looking over my shoulder.
I have a family, listen.
I don't wanna see this agent
deployed
any more than you do.
I can try to jeopardize the
tests,
introduce some bad data, but
speaking out
would be a death warrant for me.
There may be a way you can
help.
I was getting worried.
We're meetin' her
the day after tomorrow.
Now we should pay a visit to
Congressman Mathers's widow.
Sit down, please.
Mrs. Mathers, do you mind
if I use your bathroom?
No, of course.
Thank you.
I'm so sorry.
- It's okay.
- If there's anything...
Can I get you something to
drink?
No, no, no, don't worry, it's
okay.
I have a lot of food.
No, don't worry.
You must be exhausted.
No, I'm not.
- I miss...
- You have to want something.
I'll get you some water.
Did you find anything?
They cleaned out his
office, but they missed
the fax ribbon.
These are from an energy
meeting.
It took place two weeks before
the congressman's plane went
down.
I don't have that
meeting on his schedule.
These are meant for Congressman
Balin.
Carl replaced him mid-term after
Balin
suddenly left office.
Look at this.
Yeah, hello?
I'm calling about
your service disruption.
Do you have access to
today's German papers?
Yeah.
Good, get that one and I'll
call you back in 30 minutes.
Yeah.
There is someone there I
want to put you in touch with.
Do you have a pen?
Yeah, go ahead.
Five, 11, 17.
89, 94.
You get that?
Yep.
In one hour.
Take care of yourself, huh?
You, too.
Look, I'm not comfortable
being here,
so let's make it quick.
He said you might
know what these are.
This shows the assignment
of Iraqi oil fields
to various corporate interests.
It seems to be a recent
draft of an early version
I saw in 2000.
And uh,
how about these?
It's about the petrodollar
trade.
These were confiscated by the
F.B.I.
and came through my department.
I'm sure you recognize
the man on the right,
since his name is on the
documents you handed me.
He's funneled dozens of highly
sensitive
U.S. military secrets out of the
country
in return for large payments by
the man
on the left, a Turkish general.
Who's she?
You must be the only American
who doesn't recognize her.
Amanda Airdale, the reality
star.
So, what is she
doing with these two?
She was at the same hotel,
probably sweet-talked her
way into the reception.
She's an opportunist,
attracted to any situation
that might improve her
visibility.
There she is.
Good to see you again.
Let's go.
Welcome back, Doctor.
Thank you.
The main lab is hundreds
of feet directly below us.
When I get in, I'll do what I
can.
If I'm not back in two hours,
then you're on your own.
I wasn't expecting to
see you again so soon.
We're pressed for time.
I can move faster if I go
alone.
I need you to stay in.
How's the antidote coming?
It's nearly completed.
I'd like to see the samples.
(clanking
I just want to impress
upon you how dangerous
it is for you to be carrying
that around.
Thanks for your concern.
We know the way.
You can't do this.
What's in that box could
end life as we know it.
Do I have to do everything
myself?
Hey!
Lock it down, lock it
down!
Sir!
All right.
I've done what I can.
We should know if you're in the
clear
within the next 24 hours, but
until then,
I need you to stay in isolation.
Well, thanks for gettin'
down here so quickly, Bill.
All right, well call
me if anything changes.
All right.
Jim, are we secure?
Yeah.
Keller was at the lab.
He what?
It was released.
I need that sample.
Sandenow gave me
a vial of the antidote
before she uh...
She died.
Found a way out, and
ah... stayed in the mountains
util I wasn't contagious.
We should go.
What's your position on
yesterday's U.S. drone strike?
These terrorists have
to be taught who's boss.
Heh, Send 'em back to hell
where they belong, eh?
Ask him about his ties to
Turkish General Savas Demir.
Do you want to comment on
that?
I don't know what he's talking
about.
Nah, get him to open up about
his plans
for the Middle East.
One comment.
No, no comment.
What is this?
Nobody'll believe this.
I suggest you enjoy your
final few days in office.
I've decided I'm going to try
to
fill the congressman's
seat and continue his work.
Are you sure?
You'll have to constantly be on
guard.
At least I won't be in hiding.
You know I can't stay, right?
When?
I gotta keep moving.
Where will you go?
I thought I'd look up
some distant relatives.
Will I see you again?
Come here, there's
something I want to show you.
I have sworn upon the alter of
God,
eternal hostility against
every form of tyranny
over the mind of man.
Run, run, run!
Let go of me!
Get in!
Leave me alone!
Mr. Keller.
I am happier to see you
than you might think.
Because you, sir, are living
proof that the antidote works.
What do you want from me?
Well, Ted, the other vial.
There were two, now
there's clearly only one.
Listen, I'm not authorized
to tell you this, but,
a highly respected
member of our government
was exposed to the agent
that was released in there.
He needs that antidote.
He'd be dead in days.
And if you're planning to
deploy that germ into Israel
with an Iranian rocket
without the antidote,
that'd be suicide.
Interesting.
Why would anyone do that?
To get public support
for an invasion of Iran.
The U.S. economy would
collapse if the world
stopped trading oil
against the U.S. dollar
as Iraq has recently.
My job
is making sure there is a world
there
when we wake up in the morning,
that we do not go from the
greatest nation on Earth
to some Third World cesspool.
If the U.S. currency is
ever replaced by the Euro
as the basis of the world energy
trade,
we are talking World War Three,
my friend.
How many lives would be lost
then?
You would never let that
happen.
You want the oil.
Listen, I want you, just,
I want you to think about one
thing.
Right now, you might, be
permitted
to live out some semblance
of a decent life.
I don't have it.
Sandenow gave me the only
vial she took from the lab.
You know, I am tempted to
believe you...
But I know some other people who
won't.
Well, Ted, hey, we all gotta
make our own choices, don't we?
Don't we?
Let's go.
Keep eyes on him,
but don't let him see you.
We're watchin' him.
If he has it, he'll lead us to
it.
I need results.
Now!
Pull over.
I'll cut him off.
Leave
me
alone!
Hi.
Hey.
So, did you sleep well?
Yeah.
Have a good one.
Thanks, you too.
Excuse me.
Do you know the way to
the Havapai Reservation?
Havapai Reservation?
Well.
Hmm.
Ain't gettin' too many
people asking me about that.
You must really want to
get away from it all, huh?
You could say that.
Just go down this way.
All the way to end,
right, and take a left.
Keep on goin', 'til you don't
see no more civilization.
You'll find 'em there.
Thanks.
