"Well, we're a long way from home." "Wake 'em up!" "It's the Navy!" "Quick, put out the flag!" "Enchanter!" "This is the United States Coast Guard." "Heave to and prepare to be boarded." "Enchanter, you are a US-flag ship, and we are going to board you." "Heave to now." "Muster your crew on the bow." "You two, go forward." "Randall, come with me." " Stay where you are." " Kneel down." "Captain." "Captain?" "Go ahead, Senior Chief." "It's a bad one." "I think you'd better send over the video camera." "Jack, come on in." " How high is the pile on your desk?" " About this high." " Now it's this high." " What have you got?" "You heard about that business in the South Caribbean?" "I need the details." " By when?" " As soon as you can." " OK." " Jack?" "Be discreet." " What do you mean?" " You'll find out." "Mysterious..." "I love a mystery." " Ryan, John P." " Let him through." " Here you go." " Thank you." " You know where you're going?" " Yes." "Thank you." " Where do I park?" " Right over there." "Main passageway, going forward." "Master stateroom, blood on the deck... 19 cartridges were recovered, as well as the two weapons that fired them." "Blood samples taken were consistent with the crew, Hardin and his wife and his son and daughter." "I got blood on the sheets and pillow on both starboard and portside racks." "There's blood there, too." "They were killed in their staterooms apparently as they slept." "Dragged topside and thrown overboard." "The two men in custody surrendered after a brief attempt to escape." "What do we know about them?" "The men in custody?" "Half a dozen arrests for drug trafficking in Bogota, Mr President." "Drugs." "Suspected ties to the Cali cartel, not Medellin..." " You alright, James?" "...according to DEA." " Why?" " Nothing exotic, sir." "Straight piracy and murder." "It's not the first time." "It's the first time it was a friend of mine." "Yes, sir." " What was that?" "You alright?" " Yeah." "I haven't slept in 36 hours." "Did I make any sense?" "What did you say?" "Just kidding." "Good job." " You should give diplomacy lessons." " To call it as I see it is myjob." " And he's yours." " Wait for me." "Shut the door." "I promised the American people I'd do something about the drug problem." "You are." "You support the Colombians' efforts against the cartels..." "And accomplish nothing." "Do these drug dealers think we're powerless?" "That they can keep doing this kind of thing, and there's no response ever?" "Are you suggesting a course of action, sir?" "The course of action I'd suggest is a course of action I can't suggest." "I'm... not sure where that leaves us." "These drug cartels represent a clear and present danger to the national security of the United States." "Do you know what you've done?" "I killed a thief, a thief who was stealing from me!" "And his wife, and his son, and his daughter, apparently with no thought of the consequences." "Should I let his children avenge their father's death when I least expect it?" "He was a good friend and a political ally of the President of the United States." "That doesn't surprise me." " It should concern you." " What can they do?" "Come after me?" "Arrest me?" "You're scaring me." "Will you stop long enough for me to tell you something important?" "Thank you." "Listen." "You pay me to counsel you, and I am counselling you." "I'm keeping you alive with information." "If you disregard my counsel and keep running your business the way you have been, with your balls and not your head, two things will happen." "I'll quit, and you'll get killed." "You forgot to tell me about your scouting trip." " No, I didn't." " You made another contact." "Who?" "Castro always asked me about my sources." " I always gave him the same answer." " Castro didn't pay you what I pay." "This one will cost you nothing." "Awoman." "You're using a woman." "It won't float." " John, what do you want?" "Toast?" " Waffles!" " No time for waffles." " Anybody seen my keys?" "Either on the front hall table or in your pocket." " Where aremykeys?" " Pancakes!" " Toast, please." " Thank you." "Bye, Dad." " Bye, pal." " It won't float!" "It's not supposed to float, it's a submarine." "It goes under water." "Jack." "Hello?" "When?" "I thought I had the flu." "I'd still think so if they weren't telling me otherwise." "What are they telling you?" "Pancreatic cancer of an aggressive nature, if I heard them right." "Well, what does it mean?" "I guess it means I'm in big trouble." " I mean, can they operate, or?" " Maybe." "That's what they said, "maybe", which sounds suspiciously like "no" to me." "There's one of them now." "I'm not dead yet." "I am in a hospital, which means that I'm not in my office, which means I don't know what's going on." " I need you there." " Where?" " In my office, doing my job." " Wait a minute..." "I hate not knowing what's going on, you know that." "I wouldn't know how to do your job, sir." "You've been around." "You've been to the White House." " Once." "I hated it." " No, you didn't." "Want to know about politics in Washington?" "Four words." ""Watch your back, Jack."" "Bobby, you should be the first to know, or the third or fourth." "Ryan is to be Acting Deputy Director, Intelligence." "It will be a provisional appointment, of course, until James recovers." "Get him up to speed on our aid programme to Colombia." "He must talk the Oversight Committee out of another $75 million." "And not make a complete fool out of himself." "What about the Hardin murders?" "I'm on it." "The President's calling for a full-court press." "So, you guys are going to be working together hand in hand." "That's great." "Margaret, why don't we leave all his things?" "OK, yeah." "Ryan." "I can't believe itl" "He's not a team player, is thatwhat you're saying?" "He's a Boy Scout." "A goddamn Boy Scout." "Believes in loyalty, cleanliness and knot-tying." "So leave him out of it." "He's the Deputy Director of Intelligence." "That will be tricky." "What does he need to know?" "Nothing." "He needs to know nothing." "He's going to know nothing." "I want a copy of the President's authorisation of this new action against the cartels." " You want what?" " You heard me." "He doesn't know about it." "Let me explain it to you very simply." "This is your deal, not mine." "Unless I have written authorisation, this thing is over before it begins." "I'm not going to be the only one left without a chair when the music stops." ""Reciprocity." That's a clever name for it." "Revenge is a very, very, very dangerous motivation." "Are you able to handle this operation or not?" "I'm looking for a yes or no." "You're looking for a political mess." " Yes or no?" " Is that what they want?" "They want what every first-term administration wants." "A second term." "I don't imagine the boys on the Hill have approved this." "Have they?" "Is that a "no"?" "Shit." "I want the money in my account before I move an inch." "You got it." " I need a Comsat link." " You got it." " An insertion team." " You can have a brigade." "Just 12 men who understand discretionary warfare." "Special Ops." "Spanish speaking." " How are you today, sir?" " Very well." " The purpose of your visit?" " Business." " What business are you in?" " I sell tractors." "Well, I build them, then I sell them." " And how long will you be staying?" " A few days." "I know it's a risk, but what's the alternative?" "Zapping a retina with 6,000 rads of cobalt?" "Not a pretty picture." "Prettier than a tumour spreading in the cranial sack." " What is her name?" " I'm trying to have lunch." "Listen..." "Hungry?" " Starved." " We could forget about lunch." " We did that last time, remember?" " Do I remember?" "Do you?" " Vaguely." " Maybe I should refresh your memory." " Maybe you should." " Yourtable is ready now." " We don't need it." "I'll get a cab." " Moira?" " Hi!" "How are you?" "How's Jack?" " He's great, just great." " You still with the FBI?" " The Director's office." " Who was that?" " My new friend." "Señor Roberto Landa." " Doesn't he look like Jack?" " Does he?" "I can't quite see." " Only Latin." " A Latin Jack?" "This I have to see." "I have to go." "Bye." "Well, we know it's not piracy." "Pirates steal boats." "They had plane tickets to Bogota the morning afterthe killings." " Hey, Dan." " How's it going?" "We're sneaking up on a motive." "Dan Murray, Bureau." " Ralph Williams, DEA." " Said anything yet?" " Yeah. "We're innocent."" " Till the DA offers them a deal." "He already has." "Regular or extra crispy?" "Either referring to fried chicken or the electric chair." "Are you picturing a hit?" "On a respectable American businessman and his family?" "You're assuming he's respectable." "We have memos, letters, credit card statements, phone bills, everything you could need to break his code." " What's this?" " Old high school yearbook." " Sweethearts, football team..." " You think?" " I don't know." " OK, let's see what we've got." " No cream?" " There wasn't any." "Let's startwith birthdays." "Bet your ATM code is your birthday." " Close." " In reverse?" "Alright, his birthday is..." "That would be too easy, wouldn't it?" "Let's try it in reverse." "No." "His wife's?" "No." "His son's?" " This could take..." " Months." "Son's in reverse." "This is for you." "No." "Wife's in reverse." "No." "Daughter's in reverse." "You've got to change your ATM code." "No." "Wife, daughter." "Nothing." "Got it." "I got it!" "Wife's birth month, daughter's day, son's year." "But not in reverse." "Sorry." "Print me out that one." "Good boy." "Three years ago, Hardin received an infusion of foreign capital which he invested in 20 major shopping centres in the US." "In the middle of the recession, he posted record profits, at least to the IRS, who he feared more than his own partners." "To them, according to the stockholder statements he was giving them, the shopping centres weren't doing nearly as well." "But he wasjust skimming most of the profits, $650 million, and putting it in accounts in Luxembourg, Panama and the Cayman Islands." "They killed him for it." "Who?" " His partners." " Who were his partners?" "It seems clear that he was laundering money for the Colombian drug cartels." "Jesus!" "I knew the man for 40 years." "We went to school together." "We almostwent into business together." "That would have been good." "The press is going to have a field day with this." " No one outside this room knows." " They will." "They always do." "It will come up, you're right about that." "When it does, we'll downplay your relationship with Hardin somehow." " What?" " What?" " We'll defuse it." " Do you disagree?" "No." "Well, actually, yes." "I would go in the other direction." "If a reporter asked if you and Hardin were friends, I'd say "good friends"." "If they asked if you were good friends, I'd say"lifelong friends"." "Give them no place to go, nothing to report." "No story." "I mean, it's no sense in defusing a bomb after it's already it's already gone off." " Damn!" " Shit!" "Do you see him?" "Alright." "Move your team two metres to the left." "That's it." "Stop." "Touch that light-coloured grass." "Sniper at your feet." "Nothing here, Sergeant Major." " Damn!" " He is good." "Thatwas close." "How's he moving so fast?" "I see him." "Come in." "Straight in." "Now." "Run!" "Keep coming." "Stop." "To your left." "To your left." "And stop." "Sniper at your feet." "What is it?" "He had lunch here." "McDonald's quarter-pounder." "With cheese." "Damn." " Damn!" " That's four." "Alright, you won this one." "Come on out!" "Soldier, how did you get that close to me?" "Sniper approached instructor by being a sneaky bastard, Sergeant Major!" "Do you know the fine for littering in California, Chavez?" "Yes, sir!" "I saw you on the sniper course." "You looked good." " Just about finished here, Sergeant?" " Yes, sir." "Looking forward to taking some leave with your wife and kids?" " Don't have any wife or kids, sir." " What do you have?" "You don't call anybody often, you don't write or receive many letters." "Who are you, sir, if I may ask?" "Mr Clark and I are putting together a mission." "My team is a part of it." "You'd be gone up to six months, after which, if you're not dead, you'd have your choice of assignments in Special Ops." "...defusing an issue that was snowballing into another scandal." ""The New York Times"reports that you and Hardin were good friends." "No, not good friends." "We were lifelong friends." "I said that." "I said that." "I told him to say that." " What?" " I didn't say anything." " But you were thinking something." " No." "I was just distracted by the trouble you were having with your ensemble." "Well, it's not every day you have to look trustworthy." " Who told who to say what?" " It's not important." " The President?" " Yeah." "Mom says she makes more money than the President." "She's probably right." "Bye." "Thank you, Dr Ryan, for the information you've shared with us." " Thank you, Senator." " We have to help the Colombians in their struggle to curtail the drug cartels' activities." "However, I'm confused." "How do you see additional funds advancing this programme from the failure that it is?" " You see what I'm getting at?" " No, I'm afraid I don't." "You said this effort would be totally benign on our part." "Our assistance is limited to supply and advice only." "I've read that." "I've also read a similar finding written 35 years ago regarding a little-thought-of sliver ofjungle in Southeast Asia." "You're comparing our request for anti-drug funds to Vietnam?" "I'm comparing it to every time a committee such as this is asked to render judgement based on less than all the facts." "I'm afraid I don't know what to say to that." "You can assure us that we have all the facts." "I thought I had." "You can further assure us then that this increase in funds will not be used for any covert military action." "I don't know how you're getting to this." "Long experience, sir." "No troops then?" "I enunciate that clearly because I don't want there to be any mistake." "No troops." "You could say I have your word on that?" "You could indeed, because you do." "Listen up!" "Dog tags." "Take 'em off, pass 'em forward." "Check your pockets for anything that can be used for identification." "We're feet dry." "LZ in sight." "Get ready." "Good luck, boys." "Go get 'em." "OK, let's take her down now." "Go, go, go!" "Hey, Bob." " How you doing?" " Good, sir." "Good to see you." " Morning, Jack." " Ryan!" "Come on in." " Do you know everyone?" " Yes, yes." " Coffee?" "Bagel?" " Coffee." "Black." " How's the family?" " Good, sir." " When do I meet the other Dr Ryan?" " She's dying to meet you, sir." "Good, good." "Sit down." "Thank you." "So." " The cash is still there?" " Sir?" " In Hardin's offshore accounts." " $650 million." " And change." " And change." " And we have the account numbers." " Yes, sir." "Well, what are we waiting for?" "Let's get it." " Let's get it?" " Let's turn this thing around." "$650 million and change." "It's worth ten times that in political capital." "What?" "Well, this connection between Hardin and the cartels is a theory." " Theory?" " Atheory of mine." " It's a theory?" " Well, I know the money is there." "But who exactly Hardin was working for, I don't know." "I think we would have to establish that before we could seize the money." "So go down there." "Establish it." " Go where?" " Colombia." "Who, me?" "I leave you alone for two weeks, and you walk into a big bear trap." "What was I thinking?" "You were thinking about impressing the President." "You shouldn't do that." " November." " January." "Of last year." "There's a guy down there, at least he used to be..." "Clark." "We go way back." "Good man." "If you hit a brick wall, look him up." "Admiral Greer?" " Chemotherapy." " Oh, shit." "Here we go again." "How's Ritter behaving?" "Ritter's Ritter." "He's leaving me alone." "Are you sure?" "Watch him like a hawk." " How are you feeling today?" " OK." "We'll get you in a room, give you warm blankets, get you lying down." "Then we'll get you back to your room and comfortable." "Variable, this is Knife, stand by to copy, over." "Variable, this is Knife, stand by to copy, over." "Knife, this is Variable, your signal is five by five, over." "Clear." "The chicken is in the pot." "Over." " Cook it." " Roger that." "Honey?" "I'm late." " Bye." " Have a good trip." "I'm not gonna say it." "Don't." "Be careful." "Local time is, well, actually, it's the same as Washington, 11:16am." "Temperature is 69 degrees Fahrenheit..." "Dr Ryan!" "DEASpecial Agent Jean Fowler." "How you doing?" " First time in Bogota?" " Yeah." "Let's not stand here and let someone take a shot at you." "Come on, sir, let's go." " And these two are?" " They're brothers." "Don't do that." "Give Dr Ryan a bit more air back here, please." "Bulletproof." "We don't have a picture." "Escobedo's intelligence officer." "We don't have a name either, but we know he exists." "The invisible man?" "Gently, gently, with your hands." "Luis, put your hands together." "No, your hands together!" "Luis, watch the canter." "Yes, very good." "Yes?" "We lost another plane." "OK." " Who is doing this?" " If I had to guess..." "No, I did not ask you to guess." "I can guess." "Someone has been talking to the drug police." "Impossible." "If anyone spoke to the police, I'd be the first to know." "Ernesto?" "Is one of the others trying to ruin me after what I did to the American?" "I guess that wasn't quite the deterrent you thought itwould be." "Find out who it is." "What do you make of this, Colonel?" "An opportunity." "An opportunity, Sipo." " Good afternoon." " Messages, please?" " Dr Ryan?" " Clark?" "Sorry I'm late." "I've got ten minutes." "I'm positive Hardin was tied into the cartels." "It's drug money." " But you can't prove it." " So far." " Mind if I ask you a question?" " No." "Why are you telling me all this?" "I've been out of the game for a long time." "I was told that you were wired, and that you knew the town and people." " That you were a player." " Who told you that?" "Jim Greer." "How's he doing?" "He's not good." "He has cancer." "Terminal." " He's a good man." " The best." "You a coffee drinker, Dr Ryan?" " Yeah, I like coffee." " Try the Lindo brand." " Lindo?" " I think you'll like it." "Mr President, I've got some good news." "Hardin's partner here was someone you may know of." "Ernesto Escobedo." " Escobedo?" "It figures." " Is this another of your theories?" "No, sir." "We can call this one fact." "Escobedo, like every drug lord here, also had legitimate businesses." "Hardin was doing business with these." "Importing, among other things, coffee, which means nothing, but he was paying too much for this coffee. $6,200 a pound." " That's expensive coffee." " I'd have to agree." "This is good news." "I think this does it." "Sir, I also have some other news which is not so good." "Oh, God." "The DEAfeels that the government here would want the seized funds." " Or at least a large portion." " This is our money." " We found it." " We can try telling them that." "Try?" "Tell them." "Or don't tell them, I don't care." " Sir, with all due respect..." " This is our money, tell them that." "I wouldn't know what to say or where to start." "I'm not a negotiator." "You know someone in their government?" "I went to school with their Attorney General." "Jacobs will come down." "He'll negotiate." "This is our money." "Thank..." "Thank you." "I hate this job." "Eyes up!" "Demo team, up!" "Fire in the hole!" "Let's go, let's go!" "Move out!" "Go, go, go!" "Down!" "Down!" "Whoever did this is dead." "Whoever did this to me is dead!" "Do you hear me?" "Are you listening to me?" "Mr Jacobs, could you sign these before you leave?" "Moira, why don't you call in sick tomorrow?" "And the next day." "I won't tell anybody." "Even when you're not here there's plenty to do." " Your itinerary." " You're arguing with me about this?" "You work too hard." "Adiós." " LandayLanda." " Roberto Landa, please." " This is Moira Wolfson." " One moment, please." "I think he's on the factory floor." "Hold on." " Yes?" " A Moira Wolfson is calling." "I told her you were on the factory floor." "Go ahead." " Moira!" " Hi." "You free the next couple of days?" " Next couple of days?" " I am." "My boss is leaving the country." " Can I call you later?" " Alright, call me at home." "Bye." "Good afternoon." "Good news in the fight against drugs." "An investigation by the Department of Justice has identified several bank accounts from Luxembourg to the Cayman Islands, used for laundering drug money on an unprecedented scale." "With five foreign governments we have taken steps to seize those funds" " which amount to over $650 million." " Shit." "Also to seize 20 real estate joint-venture investments in the US which were the primary agencies in the laundering operations." "You did say $650 million?" "That's right." "$650 million." "And change." "They're stealing my money!" " What's our take?" " It's hard to say at the moment." "No, it isn't." "You're stealing my money." "I made it, you're stealing it!" "Mr President, can we speak with FBI Director Jacobs about this?" " Jacobs is not available." " Someone will die for this." "He's personally involved in the investigation and is pretty busy." "This avenue has to be avoided." "They'll be coming from the airport." "Up Avenida Aeropuerto El Dorado all the way to Gran America." "Santa Fe's our spot." "As much as I'd love to be here for this," "I have to take care of business in Washington, tying up loose ends." "Hello?" "Don't hang up, don't hang up." " Hello?" " The machine is still on, Moira." " Emil, good to see you." " Andy, good to see you." " Agent Murray, Ambassador Ferris." " Hi, good to see you." " This will bring you up to date." " Alright, let's go." " How's the food?" " It's like Mexican food." " You hate Mexican food." " I hate Mexican food." " Hi." " Hello." "All my secretary knows about America is what she reads inPeoplemagazine." " How's the place?" " Come inside and find out." "It's awful." "Isn't it?" "So I take it you shouldn't drink the water?" "They put water in your room, but I'd stick to the bottled stuff." "So what do you brush your teeth with?" "You use the bottled water, or you'll be in the can all yourtime here." "The hold-up was a government connection?" "Yeah, that's the connection." "Back up!" "Back up!" " Step on it!" " Stay down." "Stay down." "Damn it!" "Back up!" " Let's go!" "Let's go!" " Take it easy, Andy." "Got to keep moving." "Go, Jack!" "Incoming!" "Dan!" "Dan!" "Dan!" "We can't stay here!" "The car!" "Is it running?" "It's running!" "The smoke will give us cover." "It's our only chance." "I got him." "Make for the driver's side." "Ready?" "Go!" " Get in!" " Go!" "Go!" "Housekeeping." "Oh, excuse me, ma'am." " Do you have a call for Dr Ryan?" " Just a moment." "...in Bogota today." "Ten members of the escort party were also killed and eight wounded." "Five of the dead were security personnel..." " Cathy?" " Don't tell me you're in this." "Right in the middle of it." "Honey, Dan was killed." "Dan Murray." "He was ten feet away." "There was nothing I could do." " I'm coming home." " Thank God." "I love you." " Wasn't his going there a secret?" " It was." " Then I don't get it." "What happened?" " Nobody knows." " How stupid are these people?" " They believe they can do anything." "You know what?" "They're wrong." " Yes, sir." " They're wrong." "They've directly challenged the sovereign power of the United States." "No more sending messages." "He wants them to get the message whether the phone rings or not." " Those are his words?" " Do they sound like his words?" "He can't be clear when clarity is what he wants to avoid." "What he means is the gloves come off." "I'm telling you, I had nothing to do with it." "I didn't." "I wish I had done it, they deserved it." "But it wasn't me." "Who did then?" "You know, you have no answers." "Is this the way it was with Castro?" "No answers?" " You don't want to hear an answer." " Yes, I do." "Itwas done to look like you did it." "By one of the others." "As you suspected." "It's always a friend who hates you most." "Give me the phone." " Rojas." " Did you do this thing?" "Did I do this thing?" "Are you calling to ask me if I did this thing?" "You don't consult with us." "You put us in danger." "And now you want me to believe it wasn't you?" "It wasn't, Enrique." "The Americans will retaliate against all of us." "I swear I had nothing to do with it." "Why do you expect me to listen to you when you lie?" " Goodbye, Ernesto." " No, no, no!" "Don't hang up." "We must have a meeting." " When?" " As soon as possible." "Tomorrow night." "I am not telling you, I am asking you!" "May we meet tomorrow night?" " Tomorrow afternoon." " Thank you." " He's scared." " He should be." "I don't know what you said to him, but it was right." "Strange, don't you think?" "Jacobs and his secretary getting killed on the same day." "He wasn't his secretary." "He was a member of the security detail." "Who?" " I don't remember his name." " I'm talking about Moira." "What?" "Moira, remember?" "Jacobs's secretary." "I know Moira, honey." "What are you talking about?" " She said he was a Latin Jack Ryan." " He was." " That's what she called him." " The point is, he's Latin." "Which connects her death and Jacobs's beyond the fact that they worked together." "You saw somebody you think is responsible for both killings?" " Yes." " Yes." "She did." "She did." "I saw him from a distance." "From behind." " Medium height, medium build, etc?" " Mind if I look at these?" "Is that what the people from the cabin said?" "Yeah." "Did you check out these calls to Venezuela?" "Disconnected." " So you have no leads?" " I have a lot." "Afictitious name on a register." "A stolen phoned-in credit card number." "Two eyewitnesses, one of whom saw a guy but really didn't see him." "Excuse me, could you play that again?" "Yes, sir." "The machine is still on, Moira." "You have a recording of the killer's voice." "Maybe." "Jack." "I think we've got something." "This is from the answering machine." "And this was recorded yesterday." "I'll play it for you." "The machine is still on, Moira." "And..." "He's scared." "I don't know what you said to him, but it was right." "Run a match on that." "He's Cuban." "35 to 45." "Educated in the United States." "Eastern United States." " It's the same voice." " You're sure?" " Yeah." " How sure?" "90 percent." " I need a name." " Could be hundreds of thousands..." "I know." "I need a name, and I need it quick." "300 is topside." "Target is set." " Hector!" " Enrique!" "Good to see you!" " It was not easy for us." " How are you?" "Rojas, Diaz..." "What the hell is this?" "What the hell is this?" "My new toy." "Like it?" "You see this?" "That's your new target, unless it's not big enough." "Variable, this is Easy Rhino." "Do you copy?" "Over." "Loud and clear, Easy Rhino." " Do we have a gig?" " That's a Rog." "Target is lit." "Start the music." "Into attack." "Pickle's hot." "Target is acquired and lit." "Coming down." "Fernandez, Vega..." "Looks like a full house." "Damn it!" "Why doesn't he fix this road?" "Shit!" "Thought we had everybody." "Keep the target painted." "Sir?" "Boom." "Mother of God!" "Circular error probability zero." "Impact with high-order detonation." "Have a nice day." "The man's completely out of control." "He has no..." "His name is Cortez, Felix Cortez." "A colonel in Cuba's intelligence service until a few years ago." "Disappeared." "Turned up working for the Macheteros, a terrorist group in Puerto Rico." "Disappeared again." "Yesterday, we taped him talking to a Cali cartel subject." "I'll fax what I have on him." "If he shows, pick him up, OK?" " You know I can't do that." " I mean the police, the Colombians." "The Colombian police do not pick up members of the cartel." "Unless they've got a death wish." "You've been down here." "Wait a minute." "Oh, Jesus!" "Jack, something's happened here."

"When you mix it 70-30, you get a compound called Octol." "Put enough explosives in a car, you get a crater that big." " It's very stable." "Very expensive." " Would it still be in the crater?" " Very violent." " There would be pieces all around." " Where is Octol made?" " Lots of places." "Europe." "The US." "But nobody uses it." "Nobody can afford it except the military."

"I had nothing to do with the death of Mr Jacobs." "It was an act of madness." "But typical of the men I work for." " What do you want?" " Same as you." "Mineral water." "You agree that as long as Americans want drugs, someone will supply them?" "I don't want to be here any longer than I have to." "You mentioned a gang war." "What does that mean?" " That we want the same thing." " Same thing?" "Really?" "Only, so far, you've done all the work." "You took care of the little fish." "I will take care of the one that got away." "Once Escobedo is gone, I will be in a position to help you." " You want to help me?" " Your country." "Your people." "By restructuring the drug trade." "By regulating it."

"I'm worried about the car bomb coming so soon after Jacobs's assassination." "Just the kind of thing reporters live for." " They'd love to make a connection." " And you think they will?" "I think it's time the whole thing went away." " If that's what you think." " I think so." "Then it should go away." "It never happened." "Well, it's possible." "It would be easier if you told me whose system you want to break into." " Morning, Dr Ryan." " Morning." "Well, we're way beyond birthdays now." "I'm gonna have to write a special program here." "Right." "OK, sweetheart, let's get to work." "Fine, good." "Yes." "Here we go." "Jesus!" "Reciprocity." "What's that?" " Yeah?" " I forgot to tell you, after you get the code, wait until he's off his system before you log on." " He will know it when you do." " Jesus, Petey, it's too late." "Oh, my God!" "Cutter." "Yeah?" " Bob, Jack Ryan here." " Good morning, Jack." "Listen, maybe we got off to a bad start." "We're going to work together." "We should get to know each other." "Do you play tennis?" "Tennis?" "Do you play tennis?" " Yeah, I play tennis." " How about we get together?" "Next week?" "Hour before we startwork?" " Jack?" " Yeah." "Computer theft is a serious crime." "So are crimes against the Constitution." "Son of a bitch!" "Son of a bitch!" "Come on, come on." "Clark." "Yeah." "You'll go to jail, pal." "What is that?" "What do you think you have there?" "You broke the law." "You are such a Boy Scout." "Look at you." "You see everything in black and white." "No, not black and white, Ritter." "Right and wrong!" " You see?" "There you go again." " Why was I kept out of it?" "You're neck deep in it." "You went before Congress." "You got the money for it." "You lied under oath..." " I never lied to Congress!" " You told them no troops." " There are troops!" " You know I didn't know that." "No." "I have no recollection of that." "That's the term you have to learn." " Who authorised this?" " Sure, they'll ask you that." " Who authorised this?" " I have no recollection, Senator." "I did not sign up for somebody's bullshit political agenda." "Who authorised this?" "Cutter?"

"Keep pushing forward." "We'll trap them." "Never, though, was he deluded into thinking that one man could solve the ills of the world." "Always the soldier, on the battlefields of the South Pacific," "Korea, Vietnam and Washington, he fought as part of a unit to preserve the ideals..." " Knife, this is Variable, over." "...of his nation." "Knife!" "This is Variable, over." "To the refuge of the earth, we entrust our friend's body." "To the protection of our God in Heaven, we entrust his soul." "To ourselves, we entrust his spirit and the principles he lived by." "We're gonna miss you, James." "Variable, this is Knife, over." "Variable, this is Knife, over." "Variable, I am not receiving." "We are under heavy attack." " Need air support, over." " Go, go, go!" "Variable, this is Knife, over!" "Switch!" "Variable, this is Knife!" "Where the hell are you?" "Present arms."

"Picked it up this morning." "Variable, this is Knife." "We are under attack, need air support." "Variable, this is Knife, where the hell are you?" "Jack, what do you want me to do with this?" "Make a copy, Jean." "Make ten copies." "Get them to me as quick as you can." "Thanks." "Jesus." "They're going to leave those guys down there." "He's on American 915." "He'll be in Bogota 7:50pm." " Yeah?" " It's Ritter." " Where the fuck have you been?" " We have a problem." "We've got a disaster!" "I can't get through to my men." "We had to shut down the satellite link." " Clark?" " You had to what?" "It's Ryan." "He found out everything." "He threatened to walk up the Hill if we didn't shut down the operation." "OK." "It's shut down." "Just give me some air and my men are out of there." "Clark, maybe you're not hearing me." "There is no air." "We are shut down." "I'm on a plane." "I'm gonna kill him." "Ritter?" "Don't get on a plane." "He's coming to you." "American Airlines at 1950 hours with no security." " Who is this?" " National Security Advisor Cutter." "Once Ryan's gone, we're back on line." "You understand?" "Yes, sir." "Clark." " Jesus!" " Get in the van." "Don't be an asshole, I came to find you." "You found me." "Get in." "Alright." "Behind the wheel." "Clark." "Drive." " Ritter." " Ryan's dead." "How?" "I killed him." "Turn the op back on." "You said get rid of Ryan and we're back in business, right?" "What the hell are you doing here?" "I came to help you get those guys out." "What can you do to help me?" "What do you need?" "A helicopter." "A helicopter." "No, thank you." " Is this happy hour?" " It's always happy hour." " Your pilot owns thisjoint?" " He lives here." "Here he is." " Morning." " Morning." "Morning." "I'm here to rent the Huey." "Sorry, we don't rent it any more." "But it is for sale." "How much is it?" "Two million dollars." "My pilot and I would have to do a test flight." "Of course." "You just have to leave a deposit." "How much is that?" "Two million dollars." "Would you take a company cheque?" "Yes." " Here we go." " Big son of a bitch, ain't she?" " Do you have any time in this type?" " Nine o'clock." " Get out of my chopper." " No." "Mychopper." "Let's go." "Their last communication put them here." "The closest extraction point is here, in this gorge." "I got it." " Is that a body down there?" " Yeah." " One of ours?" " One of mine." "Find a place to set her down." "We'll look for the others." "Nowhere to run to." "No place to hide." "Blood trails everywhere." "They all lead to the river." "These are the falls we saw from the air." "The bodies should be about 50 metres down." "You left us!" "You left us with no support at all!" "Fuck, you left us out to dry!" " You son of a bitch!" " Easy!" "Easy!" " It's not his fault." " Whose fault is it?" "It's my fault." "It's my fault." "I was on point when the last attack came." "Over a mile away." "By the time I got back, it was over." "They were taking the Captain and Oso." "The others?" "I buried them." "Road to the town." "They loaded the prisoners here." "Blood everywhere." " God knows where they are now." " Escobedo knows." "What are you going to do?" "Knock on his door?" "Morning." "I'd like to see Ernesto Escobedo." "I have no appointment." "Gracias." "OK." "Hands up." "Hands up!" "Wallet." "It's a tape recorder." "He's in." "Bird, this is Variable, over." "Bird, this is Variable, over." "Dr Ryan." "Come in." "Sit down." "What can I do for you?" "I didn't know who else to turn to." "I have a problem." "An associate of mine, a coffee buyer and his assistant, were on a business trip in this area." "They unexpectedly disappeared yesterday." "I'm very concerned." "Coffee buyer?" "It's very important to me to find them." "Coffee buying is becoming a dangerous business." "Yes." "Well, it was for Peter Hardin." " Who?" " He was a client of Lindo Coffee." " Lindo Coffee has many clients." " You must have heard of this one." "He owed your company a great deal of money." "Well, I'll have to talk to accounting about that." "$650 million." "And change." "Are you offering to help me with the collection of an unpaid debt?" " No." " What are you offering?" "Atrade." "Felix Cortez has sold you out." "His next move is to murder you, your family, and take over the cartel." "Where's my tape recorder?" "Play the tape." "Let's move." "I'd like you to meet my new friend, Dr Ryan." "Doctor?" "Why?" "Is somebody sick?" "What does he want?" "The safe return of his associates." "And what does he offer us in return?" "You." "Whatever this man has told you is a lie." "He lies for a living." "He's in the intelligence business." "You're in the intelligence business!" "You've taken care of the little fish." "I will take care of the one that got away." "Once Escobedo is gone, I will be in a position to help you." "So, the question is what am I supposed to do with you?" "Well?" "I guess I'm supposed to kill you with this bat!" "Get up." "Dramatic seizures." "Drastic reductions, no more violence..." "You'll have your victory." "In return for what?" " Where are they?" " They're here." "Kill the plant." "The American killed Ernesto!" "Let's go!" "Bird to Variable, over." "Bird, this is Variable." "Where the hell are you?" "I'm cruising about five clicks south of the village." " Stay there." "I'll get back to you." " Roger that." " No one." " The prisoners!" "Come on, guys." "Let's go, son." "We're going home, boys." "Pick us up at the Lindo Coffee factory." "Not only can I expose you to the press, so can the soldiers." "Do you want to take your chances with the courts and the reporters?" "Do you want to end the career of your commander in chief?" "Let's go!" "Get your asses in here!" "Come on, we got to go!" "Come on!" "Hold it!" "We wait for Ryan!" "Yeah?" "We're out of here!" "Set it down!" "He's down there!" "Come on!" "I've got you!" "Chavez, cover me!" "Your hand." "Give me your hand!" "The President will see you now, sir." "Jack!" "I'm glad you're here." "Sit down." "Can I get you anything?" "No." " Come on, sit down." " I would prefer to stand, sir." "Some things have gone on here that I'm just becoming aware of." "I was kept in the dark, as you were, for a very long time." " Troubling things." " Yeah." "Now we have to sort them out, figure out who is responsible for what and what to do about it." "We have to do this very delicately, otherwise people might get the wrong idea." "We have to lie." " Did I say that?" " No, you didn't." " You're upset." " I'm upset." "It's understandable." "Do you mind if I give you a bit of advice?" "You know this because you're smart." "Never make important decisions while you're upset." "You did." "American soldiers and civilians are dead because of it." " I never ordered any..." " No." "Don't play that game with me!" "You won't dishonour their memories by pretending you didn't know!" " How dare you lecture..." " How dare you, sir?" "How dare you come here and bark at me like a junkyard dog!" "I am the President of the United States!" "It gives me no pleasure to do it, sir." "As Acting Deputy Director of Intelligence it is my duty to report this matter to the Senate Oversight Committee." "You're not going to do that." " I'm not?" " No, no." "You've got yourself a chip in the big game now." "You're going to tuck that away, save that for a time when your own ass is on the line." "And then you're going to pull it out." "And I'm going to cash it in for you." "Right?" "I don't think I have anything more to say to you, sir." "The country can't afford another scandal, Jack." "To protect itself, it won't allow another deception that goes all the way to the top." "You'll take the blame." "Cutter and Ritter will take some, too, but it won't amount to much, a slap on the wrist." "Then $20,000 an hour on the lecture circuit." "The rest of the blame will fall on Greer." "Yeah, you'll take him down with you." "You'll destroy his reputation." "But that's as far as it will go." "The old Potomac two-step, Jack." "I'm sorry, Mr President, I don't dance." "Ryan, have you got a minute?" "No." "We need to talk!" "Ryan!" "The Committee will come to order." "The Chair will now call Dr Ryan." "Dr Ryan, thank you for appearing before the Committee today." "Thank you, Mr Chairman." "Please stand and raise your right hand." "Do you solemnly swear that the testimony you're about to give is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help you God?" "I do." "Dr Ryan, you may consider yourself under oath." "Please be seated."
