"No!" "Several bullet fragments lodged in your chest." "We need to operate as soon as possible." "Sir, you're now the acting president of the United States." "They found the shooter." "They're waiting for you at Command Ops." "President Kirkman would have wanted to take him alive." "That's a mistake." "Give the order." "Shoot to kill." "Execute." "Target neutralized." "Mr. Atwood, your son will be safe as long as you do everything I tell you to do." "Hannah Wells?" "That's who they have in custody?" "Find out what she knows." "And if the president wants answers, I'll give them to one person." "The president himself." "Clear the floor!" "I understand you have some things you want to tell me about Peter MacLeish." "Yes, sir." "I do." "MacLeish was hiding in a bomb shelter?" "Moments before the explosion, there was a 34-second gap in the broadcast feed." "He knew exactly when to leave his seat." "He was involved from the very beginning." "What a monster." "The man who shot him, MacLeish knew him?" "Yes." "They served together in Afghanistan." "Former CIA operative Nestor Lozano, code name "Catalan."" "Sir, I don't have all the pieces, but I did feel I had enough to go to Speaker Hookstraten before MacLeish was confirmed." "Damn right you did." "What exactly happened there?" "I was attacked on the way to the hearing." "I was on my way to meet Speaker Hookstraten at the Rayburn Building." "Someone T-boned my car, tried to strangle me." "I got away, but he took my file." "Luckily, Agent Ritter was able to secure another copy from the agency." "I feel so stupid." "MacLeish fooled everyone, sir." "Not her." "She saw right through him." "Mr. Vice President." " Seth, I thought you'd be at the hospital." " Just got back." " How is he?" " Recovering rapidly." "The president should be back in the residence by the end of the week." "Great news." "Speaking of news, sir, we noticed your team... uh, that your team scheduled a press conference for later today." "Yeah, I think the people need reassurance that their country remains in capable hands" " with President Kirkman in charge." " It's an admirable sentiment." "Just, uh, curious about the timing." "Perhaps we could take a look at your remarks." "It's handled." "Thank you, Seth." "Thank you." "So, MacLeish was working with Al-Sakar." "Al-Sakar isn't behind the bombing." "I beg your pardon?" "When I interviewed Majid Nassar, he told me that he took responsibility for the attack in order to divert us from the real conspirators." "Well, if it wasn't Al-Sakar..." "I mean, MacLeish couldn't have done this on his own." " Who is he working with?" " We don't know yet." "Charles Langdon is involved." "President Richmond's Chief of Staff?" "I thought he died in the bombing." "I can personally verify that he survived the explosion." "I saw him myself." "In fact, he's hiding out in some..." " Hey." " I'm sorry." "Agent Wells, this is my wife, Alex." " Pleased to meet you." " Ma'am." "Please continue." "Respectfully, sir, this information is only for you and your security team." " Agent Wells, I promise you..." " No, no, it's okay, Tom." "I'll come back." "I assure you that wasn't necessary." " Mike, please..." " I'm sorry, Mr. President, but I have to agree with Agent Wells." "The First Lady isn't a part of your security team." "She doesn't have code-word clearance." "She knows about the threat assessment..." "And that was a mistake, sir." "You didn't say that at the time." "I'm saying it now." "Mr. President, we're dealing with a conspiracy that's so deep, so dangerous that nobody's safe." "And not only is sharing information with outside personnel a threat to national security." "It also puts the people you confide in at risk." "Sir, you need to tighten your circle." "Okay." "What do we do now?" "I want MacLeish in custody as soon as possible." "Ordinarily, I'd say we consult with the Attorney General." "But we don't have an Attorney General." "I know someone we can trust." "Can I reach out to him?" "Okay, good." "I've got an office you could use." "We can get you in and out through covert access and maintain your cover story you're still in police custody." " You need to stay in the shadows." " Okay." "I want you to come back to me with a plan on how to get MacLeish." "The son of a bitch is gonna pay." "You can't stop him?" "The vice president has the authority to schedule his own press conferences." "Hey, what's this about a MacLeish press conference?" "The vice president has the authority to schedule" " his own press..." " I understand that, but why now?" "You'd have to take that up with MacLeish." "I'd like to, but I have a laundry list of action items from POTUS." " When did you speak to him?" " About an hour ago." "No, he didn't say why you were looking into the phone calls I made 2 1/2 years ago." "And, frankly, I didn't think it was the right time to ask." " Keep me posted, all right?" " Am I missing something here?" "Anyone?" "Why me?" "Because you're a former U.S. attorney." "You're a man of absolute integrity." "And right now, the president needs a legal advisor who's above reproach." "What you're asking is just a little above my pay grade." "Well, it's above all of our pay grades." "What we're talking about is completely unprecedented." "But the president needs counsel, and I might have already told him that we can count on you." "So... can we?" "Well, when you sweet-talk a guy like that, how can I refuse?" "Through these past weeks, President Kirkman has shown himself to be a leader we can trust, a leader who has the virtue and strength to keep this nation united, and I couldn't be more thrilled to be welcoming him back to the helm." "The assassination attempt and the Capitol bombing were attacks on the very foundations of this democratic republic, and they failed..." " Did you know about this?" " Seth gave me a heads-up." " Time and time again..." " Wow..." "He's got some nerve going out on his own like that." "Woven together through common values." "I'd like to thank the brave law-enforcement officers who brought the..." "I need to go back to the White House." "Yeah, well, you'll be out of here soon enough." "No." "I mean now." "I can't just sit here." "Tom, you just got shot." "You are lucky to be alive." "Alex, the people that are behind this are still out there." "There's a traitor in the White House." "I'm not gonna find them by just sitting here." "Okay, Tom, I need to tell you something." "What?" "Minutes before you got shot, Emily found out that it was Aaron" " who made that call to the Pentagon." " What?" "Why the hell is Emily talking to you about stuff like this?" "Why didn't she come to me?" "This is the first opportunity that we've had." "And with regards to Aaron, there has to be some kind of explanation." "I mean, any number of people could have asked him to make that call." "Okay, but we have to consider the possibility that it is him." "Fine, then I'll talk to him, confront him with the evidence," " and he can explain himself." " You can't." "Tom, you yourself said just the other day we can't trust anyone." "I watched Aaron fight tooth and nail to protect and secure my presidency." "I know." "I know." "If Aaron is involved with the terrorist - if - and you confront him and you show him your hand, you're putting yourself at even more risk." "It's not exactly like I can freeze him out until I get to the bottom of this." "I need his help." "But there has to be a way to keep him at arm's length without arousing suspicion." "This is unbelievable." "I mean, the resources involved and the planning... a conspiracy that reaches all the way to the vice president." "I'm sorry I doubted you." "It's not just the Bureau." "The whole country owes you a great debt." "Thank you, sir." "Unfortunately, this isn't enough." "What?" "Why?" "It's one thing to know MacLeish is guilty." "It's another one to nail him for it." "What more do we need?" "I have the photos." " I have the..." " You're talking about accusing the vice president of the United States of being involved in one of the greatest crimes in history." "We need direct evidence tying him to the conspiracy." "We don't even have enough to detain him, much less make him sweat." "Then we find grounds." "We..." "We get someone to apply the heat, and we flush him out." "Who?" "The gunman was our best bet." "He's dead." "MacLeish has other partners." "Right." "I thought you said you didn't have a lead on her." "I don't." "But Jason Atwood might." "Jason." "Hannah." "Leave us now." "Thank you." "I had them turned off." "No eyes, no ears, just you and me." "It's good to see you." "How..." "How are you?" "What happened to you?" "It's nothing." "I'm okay." "How are you?" "How's my family?" "How's Luke?" " Nobody told you?" " Tell me what?" "I've been in solitary." "What happened?" "Jason, Luke is still missing." "What?" "Oh." "No, that wasn't the deal." " Jason, listen to me." " No." "I told the president everything about MacLeish," "Catalan, the blueprints." "There is nothing left for you to protect." "Tell me what you know about her." "Jason?" "Where did you get that?" "I took it." "You gave me the lead, remember?" "The Weddle case." "I knew they had Luke." "I also knew this is how they got you to confess to Nassar's murder." "Jason, take your statement back." "Tell me everything you know." "Listen to me, if they know" " that I'm cooperating with you..." " They won't." "They had Nassar in a federal maximum-security prison and still got to him." "They're exposed now." "We know about MacLeish." " Jason..." " Hannah..." "Please." "We need your help." "You want to help me... find my son." "All I know is what the White House switchboard operator told me." "That Aaron made the call to the Secretary of Defense right before the threat-assessment memo" " was recalled by the Pentagon." " And he confronted you?" "Yes." "He found out I was making inquiries." "He was very upset." "He asked what I was doing." "I told him he needed to talk to you." "Okay, I'm sorry I put you in this position, but I'll handle it from here." "Are you sure you don't want me to follow up?" "No, I've got it." "Thank you." "Emily." "I need you to keep this conversation between us." "Understood?" " Of course." " Thank you." "Sir, you don't really think he's a traitor, do you?" "No." "No, I don't." "But until I can prove that definitively, I have to keep my guard up, and so do you." "We're living in a different world today than we were yesterday." " Yeah?" " Speaker Hookstraten is here, sir." "All right, send her in." "Thank you for seeing me on such short notice." "Of course, Madam Speaker." "As I said before, I can only give you a few minutes." "This will take 30 seconds." "I need to see the president." "Ma'am..." "I wouldn't be asking if it wasn't important." "I understand, but the president's still in recovery right now." "Clearly, he's still conducting business." "Yes, but..." "So..." "I need to see him." "Why don't you tell me what it's regarding?" "And I'll relay it to him." "What this is regarding is strictly between me and the president." "All right." "Respectfully, Madam Speaker, I'm his Chief of Staff." "It's my job to know what's going on." "Perhaps, but not from me." "He'll know what this is about." "He can tell you if he wants, but I'm not gonna betray his confidence." "I'll try and schedule you in." "Thank you." "Try hard." "Absolutely not." "I can help find Luke Atwood." " Let me liaise with state police..." " Don't make this personal." "It is personal." "I promised Jason I would do everything I can." "Yes, and the boy has been a state-wide priority since he was taken." "You just saw me put three more agents on it myself." "Now, each one of them is more qualified in missing persons than you." "Your job right now is to come up with a plan for the president." "You can't afford to have feelings." "I'm right." "And you know it." "Now let's get back to work." "Mr. President, let me say again how relieved Beth and I are to know you're okay." "That means a great deal." "You catch my remarks this morning?" "Yes, I did, and I appreciated them." "Thank you." "In regards to last night, you may have heard that there was some internal disagreement." "I gave the shoot-to-kill order 'cause I didn't want to see more innocent people get hurt." "All the Intel suggested this guy was a pro, he wasn't gonna be taken alive." "I understand." "I might have handled it differently." "But if there's one thing I've learned since becoming president, it's how difficult it is to make life-and-death decisions under extreme pressure." "Thank you, sir." "You know, I only held the job for a day, but it did make me appreciate everything you've done for this country." "And then what did he say?" "He thanked me." "Then he told me he wants me to take over his public schedule for the rest of the month," " till he's back at full strength." " Ah, that's excellent." " That's what you'll do." " Yeah." "And for the moment, we lay low until further instruction." "What kind of instructions?" "Another attempt?" "I doubt it." "I think we consolidate our gains in the short term." "Beth, there are so many loose ends." "And the loose ends are being attended to, Peter." "Catalan is dead." "Agent Wells is in custody." "She'll be taken care of." "We'll get through this." "We always do." "I've never felt anger like this before." "You know, I've never even hit someone in my entire life, not even in grade school." "I was always the peacemaker." "But when I saw him just standing there, smiling," "I wanted to reach out and strangle him." "Honestly, I think I could have killed him." "You hid it well, sir." "He thinks he's playing you, but in reality, he's a prisoner in plain sight, in full view of the American public, not to mention a phalanx of Secret Service agents." "We just got to be patient." "He'll make a mistake, lower his guard." "And when he does..." "He's mine." "How are you feeling, Mr. President?" "Much better." "Thank you." "All right." "Where would you like to start?" "Let me begin." "I understand there's some tension between you and Emily." "She's been looking into my phone records." "At my direction." "I also asked her to keep you out of the loop." "May I ask why?" "Of course." "You..." "You deserve an explanation." "You're my Chief of Staff." "The truth is, at the request of the Secret Service," "I have had to re-vet my entire inner circle." "Because of the bombing." "A thousand people died that night, and... and it left more questions than answers." " I hope you understand." " Yeah." "Of course, sir." "I asked Emily to coordinate your background check." "So naturally, she couldn't divulge what she was doing because it was classified." "Understood." "And I apologize for any confusion, but it was my call, not Emily's." "Mr. President, there's no need for apologies." "It all makes perfect sense now." "Okay." "Great." "What have you got?" "Um..." "Speaker Hookstraten came to see me, and she said she needed to talk to you, that you would know what it's about." "Something's here." "We shake this tree hard enough, it'll fall out." "How can you be so sure?" "The eight surviving members of MacLeish's army unit have all been lying for a decade." "There's got to be a weak link in here somewhere, someone with personal problems, drugs, booze, something." "So what are you thinking?" "We find that person and break him, but carefully." "We can't afford to tip MacLeish off." "We need to rattle his cage, not shatter it." "Right." "No!" "Help!" "No!" "Hey." "I'm sorry." "I didn't mean to scare you." " Hey." " Hey." " Are you okay, Daddy?" " Yeah." "I just, uh..." "I had a bad dream." "What do you got there?" "I drew it for you." "For me?" "Wow." "It's beautiful." "Did you steal it from a museum?" "No." "I drew it." "Daddy screamed." "He did not." "Hi." "Uh, how... how long have you been standing there?" "Long enough to hear how good you are." "I didn't even know you played." "I was serious about it for a while, but now I just play to release stress." "And does it work?" "Sometimes." "So, I just got back from the hospital." "Listen, I-I get why you're being so cagey." "It was a matter of national security." "Aaron, he asked me to vet you." "It was strictly classified, so when you confronted me," " I couldn't tell you what was going on." " I know." "No, he told me." "I'm..." "I'm sorry." "I-I was a bit of a jerk." "I get it." "It was stressful for both of us." "Yeah." "So, you, uh..." "You take any requests?" "I should get back." "Yeah." "Yeah, me too." "See you around." "Yeah." "XL1200C Sportster." "That's a nice ride." "I can get you a good price on her once I'm through." "I think it's a little bit too much bike for me." " Alvin Joyner?" " Yeah." "Special Agent Johnson, FBI." "I already talked to the FBI, weeks ago, about Captain MacLeish." "Oh, it's just a routine follow-up on our background check, Alvin." "The Bureau doesn't like to get anything wrong, especially when it involves the vice president of the United States." "But I need to cross a few T's and dot a few I's before we can officially close the file." "Is that okay?" "Yeah, sure." "Shoot." "About this mission to Kunar Province," "November 14, 2005, your after-action report says you set out with 20 men." "Is that correct?" "Yeah." "Three squads." "But we weren't full strength." "Uh, Morrow had a bad knee, and Rodriguez... was on family leave." "Okay, uh, so, why does the outbound-helicopter manifest say 21 troops?" "I don't know." "Maybe somebody made a mistake." "You know, I thought that, so I asked the warrant officer involved, and he said absolutely not." "He said they can't afford to make mistakes like that." "Lives depend on it." "I don't know what to tell you." "Is it possible someone else joined your mission that night, Alvin?" " No." "No." "No way." " You sure?" "Because the warrant officer said that sometimes outside personnel will be assigned to missions." "Intelligence officers, CIA, stuff like that." "Nope." "Never happened." "All right." "Well, I guess we're done here then." " Good luck." " Thanks for your time." "Tell the president it's game on." "He's gonna run to MacLeish." "Mr. President, I appreciate that you have a job to do, but I wouldn't be doing mine if I didn't advise you against leaving the hospital so soon after surgery." "Captain, I understand completely." "But I really do have to get back." "It's a matter of national security." "And you were the one who said you were really happy with my progress." "True, but I also cautioned against undue stress." "Well, I'm afraid I've got the wrong job for that." "See?" "You're not gonna win with him." " So I'm discovering." " Look, I promise you," "I will do everything I can to take it easy." "Besides, last time I checked, I think I outrank you." "Alex, I know you're mad at me, but I really do need to get back." "You're gonna have to trust me." "Tom, I saw the way you looked watching that press conference." "What is going on?" " Is it MacLeish?" " I can't tell you." " I can handle it." " Alex, you're not hearing me." "I can't tell you." "You mean the president can't tell me." "Right now, we're one and the same." "Yeah, we're just coming back from Norfolk now." "Oh, it was fine." "Shook a lot of hands, broke a champagne bottle on a destroyer's bow." "It was strictly routine." "Yeah, I love you, too." "Hey." "I saw your chalk mark." "What's up?" "It's Joyner." "He wants to see you." "Why?" "The FBI came to see him again today." "Again?" "What about?" "Said it was a routine follow-up, something to do with a helicopter manifest on the Kunar mission." "Helicopter manifest?" "Yeah." "It sounds like bureaucratic busywork to me." "Well, it sounds like the end of it then." "Yeah, except for Joyner." "You know Alvin, Cap." "He took it harder than the rest of us." "He's been in and out of rehab." "Wouldn't take much to push him over the edge." "I hate to put you in this position, but he wouldn't listen to me, insisted that he had to..." "No." "No, no, no, no, no." "Of course I'll see him." "I'm sorry, Captain." "It's okay." "Improvise, adapt, overcome, right?" "Tell him I'll, uh..." "Yeah." "I'll meet him at the, uh, same place as last time, tonight, 21:00." "Roger that." "Okay." "I told the president you wanted to see him." "And?" "And he said he'd get back to you when he can." "Not good enough." "The president just changed his plans, ma'am." "He's getting out of the hospital tonight." " Tonight?" "Why?" " Because he wants to get back to work." "Now, listen, if what you want to share with him" " is time-sensitive, just tell me." " It's about the gunman." "What about the gunman?" "I want to know why the FBI blew away our own Lee Harvey Oswald." "The suspect posed an immediate threat to law enforcement." "Oh, come on." "It was a cluster of epic proportions." "Was the shooter a lone wolf, part of a group?" "We'll never know now." "But there was Vice President MacLeish this morning turning it into a victory lap." " Why?" " You weren't in the room, ma'am." "But you were, Aaron." "What happened?" "Was MacLeish involved, yes or no?" "Even the President has his suspicions about MacLeish." "He told me so himself." "Or didn't he fill you in?" "What are you talking about?" "Of course he told me." "Well, then you know that he asked me to keep an eye on MacLeish." " I need to be in the loop, Aaron." " I'm sorry." "I can't..." "If the White House doesn't cooperate," "I'll just call a congressional hearing... or maybe a press conference." "You can't go public with this." "What are you trying to protect?" "Or should I say who are you trying to protect?" "After all, it was you who pushed MacLeish for V.P." " more than anyone else." " Now, that's low." "But accurate." "What happened last night?" "Fine." "I'll see you in committee." "We had the shooter contained." "FBI was ready to apprehend, but MacLeish overruled them." "Why?" "He said he wanted to protect the lives of the men on the ground." "I told him the president would want to take him alive, but he... he gave the order anyway." "What order?" "Shoot to kill." "And that's for your ears only, all right?" "Of course." "We start by limiting his access to national-security documents and intelligence briefings." "We do it under the guise of a staff-wide security review." "Aaron won't know he's being targeted." "Okay, good." "I want to keep it that way." "I also recommend we renew his TS/SCI clearance." "That'll give us access to his finances, recent travel, personal contacts." "Okay, just remember, we want to clear him, not bury him." "Affirmative, sir." "Where does that put us with MacLeish?" "Trap has been set." "Agent Wells is sitting on one of MacLeish's old Army buddies, just waiting for him to make a move." "In the meantime, I've filled in his security detail, told them to give the vice president a wide berth, should he request it." "I guess the only thing left to do is wait." "It's always the hardest part, sir." "Yeah." "You can't be serious." "I told you every move we make now has to be cautious." "Exposing yourself like this, it's too risky." "We've been down this road with Joyner before." " It's not..." " It's not worth it, Peter." "You're a heartbeat away from the presidency." "Let someone else fix the problem." "I'm the only one he'll talk to." "That's not what I mean." "No." "If he's in as much pain as you say, we'll be doing him a favor." " No." " You're not in the army anymore, Peter." "We pledged ourselves to a higher cause." "Beth, he's one of my men." "We've been through hell together." "And now he becomes another casualty of war." "A casualty of war?" "Are you hearing yourself?" "Are you?" " The FBI came to see him." " On a routine follow-up." "The guy just needs some reassurance." "I can give it to him." "Fine." "Talk to him this once." "But if it doesn't work, the problem has to be eliminated." "No victory without sacrifice, remember?" "I remember." "Atwood." "I got nothing to say to you." "Jason, it's about Luke." "Jason." "Wait." "Sir." "Sir!" "No!" "Let him go!" "Let him..." "Yeah?" "Car's ready, Mr. Vice President." "Thanks, Rich." " It's just the two of you, right?" " As you requested, sir." "I'll be right down." " Hey." " Hey." " You okay?" " You got anything to drink?" "That good, huh?" "Go ahead." "I mean, that..." "Okay." "That's an 18-year Macallan, but, yeah, help yourself." "Thank you." "Is this about Aaron?" "Okay." "I'll take "political malaise" for $20." " Oh, you suck." " Thank you." "I thought I knew how this town worked, but it doesn't make sense anymore." "You know, every... everyone I thought I could count on, everything, it doesn't matter." "The system wins in the end, right?" "I don't know." "Maybe I'm wrong." "Maybe I'm naive." "Maybe I'm both." "Who knows?" "Did I ever tell you about how I got my first job at the White House?" "Harvard Lampoon connection." "I told you?" "Seth, nobody can have a personal conversation with you without Harvard coming up, usually within the first 30 seconds." "Not true." "I always say I went to school in Cambridge." "Anyway, I'm ignoring that." "My point is that when I first started here," "I mean, I was floored, all right?" "I couldn't walk more than 50 feet without stopping." "Here I was at the White House, right?" "The son of immigrants." "I mean, I couldn't believe..." "Wait." "Hold on." "I thought your dad's a successful engineer." "Don't interrupt." "What I'm saying was I couldn't believe that I was here." "And then work took over, and reality reared its ugly head." "And I started to realize why Washington is the way it is." "And then I bump into Tom Kirkman in the bathroom after the entire government's been blown up, and he's nothing but decency and compassion." "I mean, this guy is service over ambition, integrity above expedience." "And it reminded me what it felt like to be part of something bigger than yourself... what it felt like to be part of the kind of America that you want to believe in." "I still feel that way tonight." "So how come I don't?" "'Cause you're a perfectionist." "And suddenly things don't seem so perfect." "No." "I'm not a child, Seth." "I know things aren't perfect." "Yes, but you think you can make things perfect." "Well..." "It's not that I..." "Maybe." "Maybe." "Emily, come on." "You're doing a great job." "Even perfectionists have their ups and downs." "Not to oversimplify it, but I think you're probably sad." "We're all really sad." "There's nothing wrong with that." "You need to go home, get home safely, get a really good night's sleep." "That is all of my advice at this hour." "You get more tomorrow." " Thank you." " No, no, no." "Shut up." "Good night." "Good night." "Yes, ma'am, can I help you?" "I hope so." "My name is Angela Lindsay." "I'm an attorney with Payton, Stein, and Gossett." "You have an FBI agent in custody, Hannah Wells." "We've been retained by her family." "I need to see her immediately, please." " Yeah." " It's Beth." "You shouldn't be calling me." "The FBI agent who questioned Joyner, who was it?" " I don't know." "Joyner didn't say." " Well, was it a man or a woman?" "A woman, Asian woman, I think he said." "Why?" "Come on, Peter." "Pick up." " The subscriber you are trying..." " Damn it." "Alvin, these are Agents Damashek and Palmer." "Hold your arms out, please, sir." "Thanks, gentlemen." "Be with you in a few minutes." "Let's take a walk." "I'm..." "I'm sorry, Cap." "No, no, no, don't be sorry." "What's going on?" "I get nervous, you know?" "Someone's gonna find out." "The FBI..." "They got this manifest." "It's paperwork, red tape." " You know the army." " I know, Cap, but the truth..." "The truth got buried a long time ago, Alvin." "Not for me, not in here." "I still see all their faces, what we did." "You got to pull yourself together, man." "I wish I'd died there, Captain." " Oh, come on." " I swear." "I wish I never came back." "What happened that day was not your fault." "We were betrayed, remember?" "We had to defend ourselves." "We did what we had to do to save each other." "This new office I'm in, I mean," "I can't be making visits like this anymore, so I need to know... can I count on you?" " John 8:32." " Oh." "Alvin, no." "Alvin." " "And you will know the truth."" " This is important." " "And the truth will set you free."" " You don't know how important." "That's the Bible." "It's not the government." "The government's not interested in truth." "It's the government that lies." "They sent us into a slaughterhouse, and then they covered it up." "They used us, so we used them." "Yes, you lied." "We all did, Alvin." "I lied to Congress to protect the unit, to protect you." "You got to live up to your end..." " That's it." "Go." " Of the bargain and protect us." "'Cause if you fail to do that, you're not only gonna destroy us..." "FBI!" "Freeze!" "Don't move!" "Vice President MacLeish, I'm arresting you for perjury in front of the United States Congress."
