Tonight, on this show.

Hey, Benet, Benet, why does that name sound familiar?

Kavir Benet, I'm Sanjerman, the peace activist.

I want her dead.

The day will come when the next government will fall.

Please, don't go to the ceremony.

Dignitaries from all over are coming in for the lighting of the torch. Yeah, and

it's her style, too, to show up for something like this, and she'll take on

anybody. Dear, kill me now.

In the jungles of Peru, the fight for survival heightened his fences.

Now, Detective James Ellison is a sentinel in the fight for justice.

Seeing before other thieves.

Sensing what others can't.

An ever -vigilant watchman in the war against crime.

My thing!

My thing!

Look what you've done!

I'm so sorry. It was an accident.

Fine. Where is it? I have nothing.

This can go either easy or difficult.

One way or the other, you will tell me.

Look, Detective, I told you everything that happened.

You have my name and number. Can't we do this later?

This really freaked me out.

I understand, Mr. Chin.

We just need to ask you a couple of questions.

Here's our captain now.

Sorry, I got here as quick as I could.

It's all right, sir. This is Elizabeth Chin. She was the lady who was driving

the lunch wagon here. This is Captain Simon Banks.

Would you please tell him what you told me, ma 'am? I didn't even see him at

first. He kind of just lurched off the sidewalk.

He hit the corner.

Uh, of the truck. I slammed on my brakes and I ran around to see if he was all

right.

That's when I saw the blood.

I understand he said something to you before he died?

Yeah, uh, he... I could barely hear him, but it sounded like he was worried

about someone named Benet. He said she shouldn't come here.

He gasped it, and then he was gone.

Thank you very much. Appreciate your time. Any more questions, we'll give you

call.

Thank you.

Benet, Benet, Benet. Why does that name sound familiar?

Genevieve Benet.

From Saint -Germain, the peace activist.

Right, right. Probably has something to do with that Amnesty International

conference this week.

Dignitaries from all over are coming in for the lighting of the torch. Yeah, and

it's her style, too, to show up for something like this, and she'll take on

anybody. All right, Jim. What else do we know about the victim?

Oh, we don't have an ID yet, sir. I'm going to run the prints through NCIC,

what we get. All right.

Let's also check with the airlines and immigration.

If the day is coming into town, I want a couple of uniforms to meet her at the

airport. Last thing we want is this international conference to turn into an

international incident.

All right, sir.

Hang on a minute.

What is it?

Some kind of pin.

blanket. Keep them warm, huh?

I told you I need surface to surface, not surface to air.

If this is some kind of bait and switch... In your place, I don't sell

a fish, huh?

I have what you need.

The sensors can lock onto virtually any reasonable heat source.

Even on the ground.

Even against strong background clutter.

Is that so?

I earned my reputation by dealing in finest merchandise, huh?

How'd you get your hands on them?

A Chilean soldier with an AWOL with a truckload of experimental weapons.

It's a nice story, Gustavo.

Wish I believed it.

He and me put a rush on these. Cause of death is a knife wound.

Due to the damage, the doc said it was a miracle the guy had made it out into

the street and then lived long enough to give out the warning.

Has there been any word on Benet? Her plane got in about an hour ago. I

they're getting her checked in the hotel now.

You know what's bugging me about all this is that Felice Lamech is going to

there at the peace conference, too. What's so strange about that? He's the

president of their country. President by way of street thug. I mean, the guy

completely stole the last election. He and Benet couldn't be any further apart.

Welcome to the world of politics, Chief. I mean, this is a big event.

There's going to be a lot of people that are going to try and bask in the light

of that torch.

Which one of you is Captain Banks?

I'm Captain Banks.

Well, Captain, I'm Genevieve Benet.

Yes, Dr. Benet, this is Detective Ellison Blair Sandberg. Hi, welcome to

Cascade. I would expect it in Saint -Germain, not America.

Expected what?

This armed escort.

It wasn't requested.

It's not appreciated.

Dr. Boudet, if we've offended you in any way, I apologize. It's just that we

feel that there's been a threat to your life. From whom?

A man was killed today.

We believe he was trying to get a warning to you.

Who was killed?

We don't know that man.

It sounds like you don't know very much.

Well, maybe you can help us.

Please, would you step over here? Sit down.

Take a look at these pictures.

Do you know this man?

No. I've never seen him before.

How about this pen? Do you recognize it?

No. Sorry.

You have to understand.

I get death threats all the time.

If I succumb to them, my work would be finished. I understand that, doctor. We

can't... force you to take our help, but I strongly suggest that you do.

It'll be a plainclothes detective, nothing intrusive, ma 'am. Thank you,

must refuse.

Excuse me, Miss Binet.

I was just wondering what you're going to be doing with your time while you're

in Cascade. What?

I'm sorry, my name's Blair.

And since the peace conference isn't for a couple of days, you know, staying in

a hotel room in a strange city, that can't be too stimulating, can it?

Are you a tour guide, Mr. Sandberg?

No, actually, I'm an anthropologist.

You should have been a diplomat.

Okay.

Why don't we grab a bite to eat?

Good, good. Anything you say.

After you.

This insignia, it appears to me it's military. I want to check all the

of St. Germain.

Good. Well, whatever you do, do it quick.

Clock's ticking on this one.

See, I look at a city, and I see it as a mosaic for humanity.

I mean, you have your different ethnicities, your cultural rights, your

your ghettos, your factories, your rich, your poor, your in -between.

It's like a bunch of little villages all tied together, you know?

You're very passionate about your work.

I like that.

So, what's your connection with the police?

I'm a consultant, and I'm also working on my doctorate.

Oh, really? On what?

Well, I'm studying the social structure of an urban police department. It's sort

of dry and academic, really.

That doesn't compare to what you've done. I mean, Bosnia and Yemen and East

Timor. I mean, you don't just observe. You get right in the center of things.

Oh, God, listen to me. I bet you think I'm going to ask you for your autograph

any minute now.

Anything special you wanted to do while we're here?

You, please.

You are the tour guide?

Right.

The police met at the airport.

There's somebody with her now. Where are they?

On the street corner, eating ice cream.

How charming.

Stay with her.

Find out where she's staying.

She can afford to relax.

We can't. Oui, mon presidente.

It seems she's keeping herself occupied.

At least that buys us some time.

Why don't we just kill her now?

Because that would just rid me of her.

It would not elevate me in the eyes of the world.

When that missile detonates, the world will see it as an abject act of

terrorism.

I will seize that moment, and over her dead body, I will demand strong

sanctions as a safeguard against terrorism.

But in order for that to happen, I need that missile.

We have a contract, Mr. President.

I will live up to my end.

I hope so.

For your sake as well as mine.

Find that missile.

I want her dead.

Morning.

Well, what time did you get in last night?

About two.

Didn't think she was such a party animal.

She's not, thanks.

We mostly just walked and talked.

Did you get her to accept our protection?

Well, actually, to tell you the truth, I didn't even bring it up. Why not?

Well, first of all, Jim, I don't think she's going to change her mind. And

besides that, my interest in her is not about that.

Oh.

Oh, really?

Well, what is it about, Chief?

That? No, don't tell me. It's Saturday night.

No, it's not about Saturday night either. You know, I just don't think

appreciate... who this woman is and the impact that she's had.

You know, she's got the most beautiful way of looking at the world with this

moral certainty that I've never experienced before.

I'm telling you, man, I could sit there and just listen to her talk all night

long. So I guess you trust her.

Yeah, I trust her. Have you been listening?

Yes, I heard what you said, that you could listen to her all night long. But

don't think she's telling us the truth.

When I showed her the picture of the victim, I had this feeling about her

behavior, that she knew him somehow.

Same thing with the pen.

Jim, you know...

Far be it from me to ever doubt your instincts here, but why in the world was

she lying?

Maybe she's trying to protect somebody. I don't know.

Maybe she's frightened.

No, no.

I don't buy that. She's not scared.

What, did you hear something?

No, I smell something.

A scent.

I smelled it before, but I can't place it.

Well, just relax. Calm down. You're trying too hard.

It's gone.

Well, I got to go, too.

I told Genevieve I'd meet her down with her holding the ceremony.

She's going to be one of the main speakers.

And, uh... Jim.

I really think you're wrong about her.

I've been wrong before.

All I know is I got a body down at the morgue. The last thing he said was her

name.

Come on, Captain. It's the coat of arms of the presidential guard.

Then in order to get it, you've got to be a part of Lamech's inner circle. Yes,

Professor Ellison, but you have to understand that Lamech is a sovereign

leader. I can't have you hassling him over some damn pin.

I'm not going to hassle him. I just want to talk to him. He's the best leader I

have. Aren't we forgetting someone?

Benet. It is the emblem of a president. You'd think she would have recognized

him. I'm going to get to her, sir. What does Sandberg say? Has he even left her

side yet?

Sandberg is not the most objective person to talk to at this point. I don't

think he knows whether to worship her or date her. I'm telling you, Lamech is

our best bet.

All right, Jim. You can talk to him, but do not interrogate him, please.

Well, I'll be using my best diplomatic skills, sir.

Oh, God, that's what I'm afraid of.

Trust me.

Yeah.

Captain Banks.

That's me.

Wade called him.

Federal Weapons Task Force. We need to talk.

Well, come on in. This is Detective Bellison. Why don't you grab yourself a

seat? You'll forgive me if I don't waste time with pleasantries. In a matter of

speaking, I'm under the gun here.

This is Tom Yanova.

He's a mercenary.

He also deals in weapons.

My agent set up a sting, but it went wrong.

You think he's in Cascade? He was. I'm hoping he still is.

I'm also looking for this man.

Isn't this, uh... Gustavo. Yeah.

You know him?

Well, he helped us with the kidnapping last year, and in the process of all the

confusion, he managed to slip away.

He's a slippery guy. He was my middleman in this deal.

I gave him two missiles to bait Yanova, but something went bad at the buy, and

he used one of them to kill two of my men.

Well, I think you might be mistaken, sir. I mean, Gustavo would con you out

your gold teeth, but he's no killer.

My men were wired.

I don't make those kind of mistakes.

All right, look, you said there were two missiles. What happened to the other

one? Either Yanova or Alcante has it.

One way or the other, I'm going to get it back.

And both of them are going down for murder.

Pretty impressive, isn't it?

It should be.

It was paid for with a lot of pain.

So how long have you worked for Human Rights?

I thought you knew everything about me.

Well, only what I've read, and you can't believe everything you read, right?

No, you can't.

Most of what you read is true.

My father was a university professor.

He was an activist and he believed very much in the dignity of all people.

And that's why they killed him.

I guess I inherited his idealism and his stubbornness.

You know, Lamech is going to be there tomorrow.

I know.

That man represents everything you hate. How in the world can you even... Smile

at each other?

Make pleasantries?

Yeah.

The day will come when Lamech's government will fall.

In the meantime, I must be free to travel and speak out.

Why do you think he tolerates you? I mean, even though he knows you despise

Right now, he has no choice.

He needs American trade agreements.

He doesn't want to be portrayed as the dictator he is.

Right.

You're not holding anything back, are you?

That man who died, we think he knew you.

A lot of people know me, Blair.

I think they do.

That's not an answer.

No. I didn't know him.

Okay.

Hey, I thought we were going to go sailing.

We are. Just relax.

We'll get there.

Thank you for agreeing to meet me, Mr. President.

And I'm sure you wouldn't be here if it weren't important.

How can I help you?

What's about this, sir?

It was found next to the body of a man who was murdered yesterday.

I understand these are only given out to a select few.

That's true.

But unfortunately, there's a black market in these kinds of insignias.

Every now and then, one gets lost or stolen.

Are you sure it's even authentic?

Well, as far as we can tell, sir, yeah. They're very easy to copy.

I can assure you that none of my men would be involved in anything like this.

I just want you to know that this is part of an ongoing investigation and

going to do everything we can to apprehend the killer, sir. I'm sure you

detective.

If that's all.

Thank you for your cooperation.

He was from Saint -Germain.

The man who was killed. You didn't ask about him.

I guess you weren't curious.

Yes, Gustavo.

Ah, this how you greet an old friend, huh? You have a loose way of defining

friend.

I could be halfway around the world by now, but I came to talk.

At least be gracious enough to let me explain.

Explain downtown.

I got two federal officers who were dead and some guy named Caldi who's dying to

get his hands on him. Caldi was not there. I didn't kill anyone.

Oh, God.

Say, Ellis, do you really believe that I would murder two men in cold blood?

Please.

I need your help.

You could save my life.

All right, you've got ten minutes.

How did you know I was here?

Your gloves are lined with alpaca.

So? So alpaca gives off an unusual scent.

I don't understand.

You're not supposed to. Let's go.

You called for me, Excellency?

Time is running out.

I do not think the package is here.

It's here.

The courier gave it to someone else.

He would have told me.

I think Binet already has it.

But why would she be so casual about strolling around the city?

To create an illusion.

That's what we do, Christophe.

We all create illusions.

Go to her hotel.

Search her room again.

And if it's still not there?

Hope that it is.

Hope very hard.

It's beautiful.

Yeah, isn't it?

I used to come here all the time when I first moved to Cascade.

Just for the view?

Uh,

no. Not always just for the view.

I want to thank you for what you've done.

Thank me? I haven't done anything.

Oh, yes, you have.

You've helped me forget that part of my life that's so demanding.

For these past few days, I've been just a tourist.

That's good.

I'm sorry.

I can't do this.

I can't let myself get involved.

It has nothing to do with you, Blair.

It has nothing to do with you.

It's okay.

It's all right. It's no big deal.

It's okay.

When Goldie found out that I knew Yarnover, he promised that he would get

old charges dropped if I would help him.

How do you know Yarnover?

He used to buy weapons for my brother Hector. With Hector in jail, I convinced

Yanova that I'd taken over the business.

But this thing went wrong.

Somehow, Yanova knew about the surveillance team.

He fired the weapon, and he killed him.

What do you want, Gustavo?

My only way out of this is if Yanova's arrested.

I can't do this alone.

But you skipped out on me once before.

That was out of survival, my friend.

Where's the other missile?

It's in a safe place.

Let's call it my bargaining chip.

Excuse me.

Allison. Yeah, James, sign it. Someone just broke into Benet's hotel room.

spotted him and called security.

They think they sealed the building before he got away.

All right, I'll be right over.

Where's Binet?

Don't know. Must be with Sandberg. All right.

Gustavo, could you come here for a second?

Yes.

I've got to go out for a little while. We'll continue this when I get back.

Amigo, come on. Is this necessary, huh?

Well, I think it is.

I really think you just look very good in silver.

Oh, that's nice.

Mi casa es su casa.

Gracias, hombre.

Hey, I'm at the hotel, Captain.

Great, there's no sign of the suspect yet. Our guards are moving up, searching

floor by floor.

Very good, sir. I'll start at the roof.

I'll work my way down from there.

Be careful, Jim.

Thanks, man.

There's nowhere to go.

Hey, hold on. Where are you going?

His

name

was Rene Christophe.

He grew up on the streets. He survived by being a dope dealer and a hustler.

Lamech recruited him when he was 16 years old.

You think he killed our John Doe? He was one of Lamech's personal hitmen. The

guy's very loyal. I think it all points to him, Simon.

Let's say you're right.

He kills someone who's trying to warn Benet not to come to Cascade.

Then he goes to Benet's room. I mean, what's he after? Is he after Benet or

something that she has?

Well, both.

Whatever it is.

He took a seven -story swan dive rather than a request.

I think it's time to bring Banana in from the cold.

Sandberg, do you think you can talk to her?

I don't think that's going to do any good. I mean, she's really committed to

giving that speech, and she's not going to do a thing to jeopardize it. Where is

she now?

She needed time to be alone to prepare for the ceremony, you know, so I left

at the hotel. Look, Sandberg, we can't protect her unless she asks for it. I

think it's time to be a little bit more persuasive, okay?

I'll try. All right.

Where's Alcante?

He's in our lockup. Just give me the papers to sign and I'll take him off

hands. Not so fast, Calde.

He's made us an offer and I think we ought to consider it. He belongs to me.

belongs to both of us. Now we can fight about it or we can work it out. Your

choice.

What's his proposal?

But Henry, then you know.

My son died for these.

Use them well.

I will carry a promise.

Genevieve, in that envelope, there are pictures of Martin.

Take care.

Why the hell would Yanova agree to another meet?

It'd be crazy not to smell a trap.

As far as Yanova knows, Gustavo is still on the run.

I'll tell him I'm desperate. I need money to leave the country.

Oh, and he's going to help you because he is such a good humanitarian.

No, because I have something that he wants.

The other missile.

I got a better idea.

You give me the missile right now, and maybe, maybe you won't rot in prison for

the rest of your life.

We do this my way, or you never see it again.

What the hell is this?

Michael! Michael, call me!

What the hell's the matter with you?

You want Yanova or not?

When did this weasel become your pet?

This goes wrong. You don't have to worry about prison, because I will fry your

ass myself.

Genevieve! Blair!

What's the matter?

It's not an allergy.

What do you want, Blair?

I have a speech to prepare.

Actually, that's what I wanted to talk to you about. Now, look, I have no right

to ask you this, but please don't go to the ceremony.

I won't be bullied by threats.

I'm sorry.

What the hell is the matter with you? These aren't just threats anymore.

Do you realize that two people are dead and we don't even know who one of them

is?

His name was Henri Tussauds.

It was only 26 years old.

You know him.

Why did you lie to us?

Because I didn't have a choice.

This... This is more important.

You said so yourself, Blair. I'm in the center of things.

I don't have the same luxuries as everyone else does.

Yeah, but if he hadn't lied to us, I mean, maybe we could have... What?

Arrested Lamech?

Do you really believe your State Department would have allowed that?

You don't even have a witness.

We still could have done something.

Perhaps in your world.

Not in mine.

All right, Gustavo, here's the drill.

When Yanova shows up, you stay undercover.

You let him approach the missile.

And we'll take it from there.

Ellis.

Thank you, Rick.

Don't thank me till it's over.

Oh, my God.

Names, dates, photos.

Where did you get all this stuff?

The refugees have a kind of underground railroad for atrocity reports, but we've

never had evidence like this before.

You're going to use all this stuff today, aren't you?

Yes.

Under the glare of public spotlight.

When this gets out, your country will withdraw its trade agreements.

Saint -Germain's economy can't survive without them.

This will topple the Mex regime.

If he doesn't get you first.

It hasn't happened yet.

Blair, by showing you this, I've risked you'll go to the police.

If you do, they'll stop me.

And all my people's deaths and pains will have been for nothing.

Please, allow me to do this.

Alcante? Over here.

Beautiful. Right.

You can look, but don't touch.

The gun on the ground.

Looks like you land on your feet again.

You look surprised.

Must be losing my touch.

Lemmick pays off today.

Money will be wired to your Cayman's account.

I don't want to have gone through this for nothing.

She's speaking in two hours.

Don't miss.

I never do.

On your knees.

Satisfying old man's curiosity.

You and Yanova.

Why did you pick me?

Yanova needed missiles.

I needed someone to take the fall for a sting gone wrong.

Uh -uh.

Over there.

Yanova remembered meeting you through your brother.

You remembered how clever you thought you were.

I'll tell you a secret, Carly.

I am that clever.

Show yourself, Allison!

Who has left of his life is going to get even shorter.

That over didn't get lucky, spotting that surveillance team.

You told them where to look.

What about Gadover? Yeah, he has a missile and he's going to kill Binet.

I want you to get everything you have over to that park, sir.

All right, we're on it. What else?

Simon, I also need a squad car for Colby. I'll have something there in a

Now I should arrest you.

The only one who knew about me was Colby.

If the feds get their hands on me, I'll go to jail for the rest of my life.

I'm fresh out of handcuffs.

I'm going in the opposite direction.

I want you to meet me back at headquarters when this is all done.

Be careful.

It's a little tricky to want to lose your way. Thank you, my friend.

Dr. Benet, I'm sorry we haven't had a chance to speak sooner.

I thought I'd catch you at your hotel.

Must be your time in.

Perhaps when this is over, you and I can sit down and

arrive at a position that would be to our mutual benefit.

Why wait?

Join me on the platform, Mr. President.

Surely well your commitment to human rights right now.

No.

This is your moment.

But none has worked so hard and risked so much as our honored guest.

Ladies and gentlemen, Kennedy Bennett.

Thank you.

It's a privilege to stand here for Amnesty International speaking out. for

who have no voice.

Their future rests in what we choose to do.

We can continue to allow the darkness of cruelty and indifference.

Country they live in is a living hell. Such a country is Saint -Germain.

In Saint -Germain, many have suffered and died to bring the evidence I share

with you today.

The blood of Saint -Germain is on your hands.

And I am picture of your hands.

I said no!

Okay, sure. I'm all right.

Those pictures were, doctor.

I was never there.

It's more than pictures.

People will come forward. The tide has turned.

But you may be wrong.

Why take the chance?

Here.

Kill me now.

Read the world of this great evil.

You see, doctor.

I'm willing to stare death in the face for my beliefs.

Are you?

What are you doing? Son of a bitch, don't. What are you doing? Blair, get

He's right.

No cart will give him what he deserves.

But I can, right now.

Come on, Genevieve.

Listen to me. You don't want to do this. This goes against everything that you

believe in.

About the man in the locket, the one who's dead.

This isn't going to bring him back.

Then he dies for nothing and Lamech wins.

Genevieve, come on. Don't throw all this away.

Put the gun down.

I may no longer be young, senor, but I still know how to shoot.

What are you doing here?

I thought maybe you'd need my help.

This isn't like you.

Every now and then, some habits need to change.

FBI. Looking for Gustavo Alcante?

Time to face the music.

Would you do the honor?

Gustavo Alcante, you're under arrest.

You have the right to remain silent.

If you give up that right, anything you say can and may be used against you in a

court of law.

In the wake of the bloodless coup that swept him from power this week, Feliz

Lamech was stripped of diplomatic immunity and will be returned to St.

for trial.

A judge rejected Lamech's request to face charges here first and ordered an

immediate and binding extradition.

I guess he likes hard jails better.

Speaking of jails, I thought you said the FBI picked up the stuff.

Yeah, right after the shooting.

Yeah, I checked.

Nobody called the FBI.

Are you sure?

Yeah. You know, that's how he got away from us last time.

Well, he did say it was a creature of habit.

I wish you could stay.

So do I.

You know, if you're ever up in Cascade again, I'm a hell of a tour guide.

You're much more than that.

Let me get your bag.

There you go.

Be good.
