What are you stupid?

What are you doing in the street?

What are you, an idiot?!

No!

Shh!

Come on, let’s go!

Come on!

Let’s get out of here!

Come on. Let’s get her.

I can walk.

Shut up.

Put her down. Put her down.

Shut up!

We have to go back.

There’s no point. She’s dead.

You don’t know that.

Get in!

Hey, take it easy! You know what, dude?

You better start deciding whose side you’re on.

We can’t just leave her in the middle of the street!

Nina...

Nina, I know you’re upset.

Of course I’m upset, Jack.

What do you expect?

I’m sorry.

Look, the reason I had to leave the office

is because I got a call from Walsh.

He was meeting another one of our agents, Scott Baylor

because he said had evidence..

That led you to me.

I know, Jack, but you should have thought it through.

Nina, listen to me.

Richard Walsh is dead.

What?

He was shot.

I watched him die.

What is going on?

He was killed because he had proof

that people from within our own agency

are behind the hit on Palmer.

Who?

I don’t know yet.

Right before Richard died, he gave me that key card.

I’m hoping that’s going to tell us.

Jamey’s trying to break it down.

You trust Jamey?

He did.

I trust you.

Which means the three of us have to work together.

And from this point forward

we have to assume we can trust nobody else.

I understand.

Good.

Are you all right?

Yeah.

Work the card with Jamey.

I have to make a call.

Thank you.

Senator, Richard Pierce wanted to talk to you

as soon as you got back.

Fine, just give me a minute.

It’s very important.

There’s a security...

A minute.

Yeah?

You find anything out yet?

David, it’s barely been half an hour since you told me about it.

Carl, I need you to find out the source of this story.

Not first thing in the morning. Now.

I understand, but this can’t be done over the phone.

I have to talk to some people in person.

It’s five after 3:00.

I want to hear something by 4:00.

David, you’ve got to let me...

Where were you?

I went for a drive.

A drive, alone, at this time of night?

I just needed to get away for a while.

Away from what, David?

Everything.

Wait a minute.

They haven’t told you, have they?

There’s been an assassination threat.

That’s what all the fuss is about?

Yes.

I thought it was something serious.

Jack.

I screened the passenger list.

Something doesn’t add up here.

Why?

2B-- manifest shows an empty seat.

So?

Well, according to the ticketing file

first class was full.

Plus, there was a waiting list.

Why would the plane take off with an empty seat?

It doesn’t make sense.

This is good. Let’s work on it.

What time’s Rayburn get in? 6:00.

Wake him up. Bring him in now.

Jack.

Okay, we’ve got something off the key card.

The encryption is complex

but I’ve asked Jamey to isolate sectors

and she’s managed to extract one.

Just part of one, actually.

That’s it? Just an address?

What’s that got to do with Palmer?

Doesn’t say.

Cross-check it with his schedule for tomorrow.

He’s not going anywhere near it.

Has he been anywhere near it

since he came to Los Angeles?

No.

How about previous visits?

Connections to family members?

Associate, anything?

Yeah, I can check. It’ll take time.

Well, let’s see what we can peel off.

Start in here.

Still just the address on San Fernando Road.

How long’s it going to take you

to access the next level- minutes or hours?

Hours, most likely.

We don’t have hours.

I’ll check out the address myself.

You want some backup?

No, I need you here.

What? Come on.

What’s wrong?

I don’t know. Suddenly, I can’t access

our decryption software.

Phones are down, too.

It’s a lockdown.

It’s Mason.

Hide the key card.

I’ll handle this.

Hello, Nina.

These men are with Internal Investigations.

You are now on official lockdown.

On what authority?

District office.

We’re trying to stop an assassination, George.

Can’t you find anything better to do than this?

Two agents died tonight.

Lockdown’s standard procedure until we get some answers.

Where’s Jack?

I don’t know.

Station Two, coming in your way.

Lockdown. Nobody leaves.

Lockdown, are you serious?

No, I’m kidding.

Look, I got to get some work from my car.

You know the drill.

Fine, you take the keys.

All right!

I assume you’re all familiar with lockdown procedures.

You will remain in the building.

All communications will be monitored.

Any incoming calls

without secure access codes will be blocked.

In the meantime, you can continue to work

on the systems available to you

until notified otherwise.

Who called them in, Tony? You?

Yeah, me.

Why?

Somebody had to.

Jack’s out of control.

Meaning what?

Two agents are down.

Jack was there when it happened.

You can’t believe that he had anything to do with that.

Tell you the truth, I don’t know what to believe.

I’d hate to think this has anything to do with me.

You think what you want.

All right, get comfortable.

Could be here for quite a while.

He got past me.

Nina, where’d he go?

I already told you. I don’t know.

Sooner you let me know

the sooner we can get things up and running.

I’m really sorry, George.

I can’t help you out.

Me, too.

Senator, could I have a word with you?

I’m not sure you appreciate the seriousness of this threat.

I get serious threats every morning with my orange juice.

With all due respect, this one’s different.

It’s a pro from overseas.

Who’s behind it?

We don’t know, but as I’m sure you’re aware

an airliner exploded

about an hour and a half ago outside L.A.

No survivors.

Are you saying there’s some connection?

Again, we don’t know.

We’re looking into it.

What do we know?
