Smoke Screen

10-4 I'm leaving 13th Central.

Five QSK.

Five QSK.

- Five QSK, hold that M6,

going the way of Tim Gorman with things.

10-4.

- All clear to Central.

That was some shit.

- What the fuck is wrong with you two?

Oh shit it's you.

- You were supposed to meet me in

Jackson Heights 30 minutes ago.

We specifically told you not to come straight here.

We had to shake 'em somehow.

We had to take a different train.

- You weren't supposed to take the train.

Just get in the fucking car.

- Well actually we have to go back to Barnes.

- We have to go back to my house to ...

Get in the car.

Let's go.

Both of you out this side, come on, come on.

- It's 'bout fucking time he's got here.

Where the hell have you been?

- These two geniuses thought it would be funny

to get off at Bedford instead of Jackson Heights.

I know what the fuck happened.

And you, did you park around the corner

two blocks away like I said?

- Not yet, I couldn't risk these two walking

that far without trying to make a break for it.

- What the fuck is wrong with you.

Anybody watching this place would find that

mighty suspicious, don't you think?

Get the fuck outta here.

- All right, all right I'm going.

You two come here.

You morons are in deep shit.

We're all in deep shit thanks to you.

The plan was simple, you get in, you get out.

That was step one, you fucked that up.

Step two, meet the driver at the Chrysler Building,

then he takes you to meet Jimmy at Jackson Heights.

But you didn't do that.

Instead, you take the subway,

at an hour when hardly any trains are running.

- We panicked, we were trying to throw them off the trail.

- I don't care what your reasoning was.

We set it up the way that we did to get

you out of there as quickly as possible.

Now you two are on camera.

Entering the station at Grand Central

and then getting off at Bedford.

Where do you suppose the police and the FBI

will be combing over after seeing that?

- How did Jimmy even know where to find us?

- How did he know where to find you?

After what just happened that's your question?

How did Jimmy know where to find you?

I think a more appropriate question would be,

what can I do to stay out of cement shoes?

Your cellphones you idiots.

They're still on and tracking.

Rick where's Jimmy right now?

One block away.

- I swear to God, did I or did I not say two blocks away?

You said two.

- So there you go, we've got you going

into Grand Central and then coming out

at Union Square and then again at Bedford.

Then we were able to guide him street by street.

We should have had him kill you on the spot.

Why didn't you?

Because it's not up to me.

I wish it were.

The Executive is here.

The Executive?

- He wants to talk to you before we decide

what to do about this fiasco.

Don't move.

Shit now what do we do now?

- Stay clam, we need to figure out

what we're gonna say to him.

- Well what we're gonna say to him

he doesn't already know Steve

- Got damn we were so close, okay, okay.

We just need to placate them long enough

so we can figure out what we're gonna do.

This place is roughly the same distance

from my place, is where they dropped us off

so we can just get out of here.

I know we can find my way back to my place,

we can drop the fuck--

- We're not gonna find a way out of here Steve.

Okay, if we do, what do we do then?

- You want to just stay here so they can set a sink

'cause that's what they're gonna do.

- Okay, say we find a way to get to your car

without getting killed first, then what?

- Go back to my van and find the nearest

police station and turn ourselves in.

What?

- They'll have to let us in police protection right?

For what we know witness protection.

We don't know anything.

Let's go, he'll see you now.

Sit.

- It would seem you two have failed me.

Both of you work for Solar Mate, a green

energy company specializing in solar power.

Corporate headquarters located in the Chrysler Building.

The company was set to receive a one time

subsidy from the federal government in the amount

of 600 million dollars,

but that was put to a halt.

So what happened?

You have my permission to speak.

Maybe I should rephrase the question.

Why was a halt placed on that one time

federal subsidy of 600 million dollars to Solar Mate?

- Sir the new attorney general, raised

a red flag against allegations that Solar Mate

might not be 100% legit.

- What would give anyone that idea?

- The Solar Mate facility in Southern Nevada is nonexistent.

The address is in the middle of the desert,

just outside the town of Pahrump.

That sounds like the perfect

place for a solar panel company.

Surely Solar Mate could use that 600 million dollars

to at least start building that facility.

- The facility was supposedly already built

when the subsidy was approved.

Well now, that is a problem.

Now let me ask you this, if the new attorney general

began an investigation of Solar Mate

and found it to be a fraud, what do you

suppose your salaries would be?

Nothing.

- And if the attorney general met an untimely death

and no investigation was begun into Solar Mate,

what do you suppose that translates to?

A piece?

Two million dollars.

- One certainly sounds nicer than the other.

Mr. Geiger is not a progressive man.

He believes solar power is unsustainable,

but we can't waste our time trying to educate lost causes.

If a high profile politician is stupid enough

to pay for a hooker using a credit card,

well we can't let opportunity like that pass us by.

Do you know who I am?

What?

What's my name?

You want your birth name?

Yes.

I don't know.

Did he see your faces?

Yes.

Did he say anything to you?

Yes, who sent us.

And you said?

- Nothing, that's when we bailed.

I'll have to check that out.

I hope you haven't lied to me.

I'm going to split you up Mr. Willis,

you will remain here.

- Sir we could go someplace disappear.

Someplace that no one would ever find us.

You don't have to kill us, we wanted

him dead as much as you do.

- I never said I was going to kill you.

I didn't become the business man I am today

through knee-jerk reactions, I wait

until I've exhausted all rational avenues.

Whether you live or die isn't up

to me anyway, it's up to Horus.

Horus?

Horus, the sky god.

This is the age of Horus, neither you

nor I make these decisions, only Horus.

If he speaks to you, don't hesitate to act on it.

It would be an honorable death

that would save us all a lot of headache.

What the fuck.

- Okay Congressman Wexler, this is Richard

Hill, CEO of Solar Mate.

I'm here with four fresh faces straight out of college.

Tim Barnes, Steve Willis, Michelle Allen, and Kevin Andrews.

All right, wonderful.

This is conversation is now official

and being recorded as of 12:35 P.M.

- Either way get ready for the asses.

- Okay Congressman, let me reiterate Solar Mate's

continued commitment to green energy as well as

the tremendous strides that we've made

at our facility in Southern Nevada.

- Well thank you Mr. Hill.

And I've been in touch with out mutual friend out there,

Bill Gray, numerous times recently.
