All language subtitles for Murder At 1600 1997 1080p WEB-DL H265 5.1 BONE

Buck it out!

It's a form,
for crying out loud!

What could be simpler?
All you have to do is fill in the blanks.

What do I have to do,

hire a nursemaid to hold your hand,

put ribbons in your hair?

If you want him down,
this is no huge problem.

You should be able to fill
out a form correctly!

Then I'll just have to
get somebody who can.

I'm not gonna ask you again.

Get back to your desk, Rebecca!

I was a good boy.

What's happening, boys?

I was a good boy.

Well, well.

What are you doing here?

I smell business.

Third bureaucrat this month.

Hey, enough of this shit.

Tell Carl to shoot him.

He's fucking up traffic.

What's his name?

Jeffrey Arthur Brose

of the Interstate Commerce Commission,

whatever the hell that is.

What'd you say, man?

You said the what?
The Interstate Commerce Commission?

He didn't say that.

Yes, he did.
Here. Hold this.

Just tell them don't shoot.

Regis, get back here.

Just hang on a second.

Strap in. This is gonna get weird.

I wanna talk to this guy.

No! No! Go away!

Hey, hey, hey.

No, go away.
Any improper behavior

on the part of any employee
has to be reported.

OK. Just be easy, man.

Look, I just wanna talk, all right?

See? I got no gun. Got no gun.

I will kill myself.

I believe you. I believe you.

I just wanna ask you a question.

Now, you work for the Interstate
Commerce Commission, right?

No. They let me go.
They just threw me out.

You, too? They evicted me, too.

I mean, they bought up
my whole apartment building

so they could turn it
into a parking garage for...

They're so unfair!

I agree.

"The Durable Goods Division."

Now, can you please tell
me what the hell that is?

What is that?

Don't work there anymore,
and they're on the second floor.

But do you know anybody I could talk to?

Because I've been writing
and I've been phoning them.

I sent an e-mail,
and nobody calls me.

They're just jerking me around.

I'm telling you,
it's driving me crazy, man.

No, I'm crazy!

They were gonna shoot you, Jeffrey.

Christ, Regis.
What are you, insane?

The gun's on safety.

All right, boys,
I'm thinking this looks...

Handled.

Come on, Stingo.

Let's get out of here.

Move! Move!

Go! Go!

Sector 6 secure.

Sector one secure.

Go.

Freeze!

Corey Luchessi.

I work here.

Sector 5 secure.

There's a gun on you.
Get up slowly.

Sorry, sir.

Sector 2 secure.

Sector 3 secure.

All sectors secure.

America held hostage, day 182,

a Special Report.

CNN has just received
this smuggled video footage

showing American AWACS
soldiers in captivity

and under extreme duress.

You see this?

Government officials expressed outrage

upon viewing these tapes.

Pentagon sources
say the U.S. seventh fleet

remains on full alert in the
Sea of Japan at this hour.

Air force officials have
reiterated their initial statement

describing the AWACS crew's mission

as a routine flight...

Can you believe this?

I mean,
what is this president waiting for?

Aircraft carrier in the Gulf.

North Korea maintains
the AWACS crew...

Is leaseholder one word or two?

It's one.

Damn.

In the face of growing
Capitol Hill support

for military intervention,

the President called for patience

and stated that the negotiations...

I see. So you negotiate for 13.

How many do you go to war for?
14?

That it? I mean,
everything's about numbers.

Healthy.

3...

You're an alcoholic.

That's your third.

Hit me again, man.

Yeah?

Regis.

It's Farr.

OK.

I'm not here. I'm not here.

Captain.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I got a coat and a tie.

1600 what?

Yeah, Harlan Regis, homicide.

Detective Regis,
come right on through, please.

I'll take your weapon.

You'll get it back when you leave.

This way, please.

Gentlemen.

Straight ahead.

Dang.

And straight down this hallway to the left.

Puncture wounds,
upper torso and base neck

would be 5 to 8 centimeters across.

Lividity and rigor are progressing...

What's up?

Jimmy.

Get in here and take a look at this.

24, 25 years old tops.
She's a baby.

Man, what is the world coming to?

What time she found?

- About 11:00.
- Name?

Carla Town.

Our best guess is she's dead

maybe 3 hours.

Where's the first family?

Camp David.

Left yesterday afternoon.

So do you got an idea
what the murder weapon is?

Well, it's not as clean
as a knife, Reg.

You see that jagged edge
on the wound there?

It's not big enough to be scissors,

so I figure it must be something smaller.

Excuse me. All film stays in house.

Orders.

Whose orders,
Tepper?

Anyone know what she
was doing here so late?

You're not cleared.

Who invited you here anyway?

We did.

Sir, he's not cleared.

He's a D.C. homicide cop.

Well, if I'm not mistaken,
Mr. Spikings,

what I see over there is a homicide.

But jurisdiction...

jurisdiction can go to hell.

With all due respect,

I'm in charge of
White House security.

With all due respect, I'm the
President's National Security Adviser.

A woman murdered in the White House

40 yards from where
the President sleeps

is a matter of National Security.

Alvin Jordan.

Yes.
Harlan Regis, homicide.

Sir, do you happen
to know what she was doing

working here so late on a Friday night?

Well, the government doesn't shut
down just because it's Friday.

Yes. I understand.

And do you know how many
people were in the White House?

31.

31?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Carry on, detective.

Thank you, sir.

We'd like you to avoid using 2 words

if you give any statements
to the media.

The words are woman and murder.

You say all information
will be forthcoming

on an appropriate and timely basis.

Mr. Spikings...

One more thing.

I'm gonna need everything you have

on what she was working on...

you'll get what's material.

Well, this is D.C., and,
unfortunately, she's mine.

She was murdered in the White House,

not in some alley out in Southeast.

She was killed in my city.

She was killed in my house.

Don't you ever forget that.

He's all yours.

Hey, I'm just trying to do my job.

I guess I'm supposed

to get my briefings from CNN, right?

No, you get it from your
Secret Service liaison

for the task force.

Well, he didn't assign me one.

Yes, he did.
Nina Chance.

I see.
They think I'm boo boo the fool.

Excuse me?

So I guess he figures that
I'll be easier on you

than I would some rookie with acne,
right?

Detective, I'm an on-line agent

for the United States Secret Service,

which means,
among other things,

that I'm fully qualified
to answer any questions

relating to White House security.

Furthermore,
I resent the implication...

furthermore,
you resent the implication?

Man.

People don't even speak
English in this town anymore.

Detective, it's this way.

I know that.

There's been no statement yet

about what's happening
in the White House.

We've been told only that the first family

is at camp David for the weekend.

As you can see behind me,

the immediate area has been sealed off.

Sheldon Turcott,
CNN, at the White House.

Why kill someone from
the office of protocol?

Maybe she sat some ambassador
in the wrong seat.

They kill you for that now?

Tough town.

If I would have known,

I would have put a turnstile in here

and charged admission or something.

Who else was here?

Secret Service.

They started around 11:15.

And can you believe they
even took her garbage?

Anyway, if you guys want me,

I'll be downstairs, 101.

Thank you very much.

Anytime.

Wait a minute.

The body's found at 11:00,

and the feds arrive here
15 minutes later.

How do they do that?

Yeah. They don't even have
cool sirens like we do.

Look at her photo album.

Look at this, Regis.

Is this the only one?

It's the only one I see,

but, you know,
I just got here.

I can tell you that the
apartment is registered

in the name of, ah...

Brookland Associates,

but that is about all I have right now.

1.2 on the beach.

White house giving out

some pretty sweet Christmas
bonuses this year.

Yeah, looks that way.

I want a complete list of
everybody in-house last night

between 9:00 and 11:00,

and don't tell me that is classified.

Quick on the draw,
agent Chance?

There's only 30 names here.

All whereabouts accounted for.

Spikings told me that there were 31.

I mean, I see his name here.

So whose name is missing?

Well, apparently,
agent Spikings was mistaken.

The count is 30 in-house.

Better check it out.

I'm on it.

So, agent Chance,
where you from?

Iowa.

Iowa?

So why the Secret Service?

I mean,
why not...

Why not kindergarten teacher?

No, you don't look like
one of those at all.

I was in the Olympics.

The Olympics?

That's how I got in the Secret Service.

Is that right?

I was on the sharp-shooting team.

I met President Reagan.
It was in 1988.

One of his agents was a woman.

She sort of took me under her wing.

Sharp-shooting..

I feel safe already.

I brought home the gold.

Where are we going?

To my place. I gotta change.

You're being evicted?

The whole damn building.

The feds are tearing it down

to put up a parking garage for the...

For the...

Interstate Commerce Commission.

Yeah.

What do they need a parking
lot around here for?

Hell if I know. I've been
trying to figure that out.

Whole building thinks that I
can fix it because I'm a cop.

Harlan, what's going on?

Mrs. Wallace.

Look, in less than a month,

we're going to be living
out on garbage cans.

I'm making progress,
Mrs. Wallace.

Truly I am. Progress?

Is that what you call it?

Progress.

I should say you are
making some progress.

You better take care of your business, boy.
You know that?

That's what you should be doing

is taking care of your business.
Making progress.

I know what he's making progress at.

All right,
make yourself comfortable.

Washington City, July 21, 1861.

And this is Manassas,
first Battle of Bull Run.

Come here.
I want to show you something.

Right here, that's where
Stonewall Jackson got his nickname.

That's Sutley Springs there.

Civilians used to come
on that crest over there

and take carriages and
picnics to watch the battle.

Amazing?

How did you...

I'm a homicide cop in the
homicide capital of the world.

It's cheaper than a shrink.

You did this all by yourself?

Yep.

The whole thing.

My father was a history buff,

so I guess it kind of rubbed off on me.

And what did he do?

He worked at the Smithsonian
for about 34 years

as a guard.

How am I gonna move all of this?

I mean, first,
I gotta take it all apart,

and then I gotta put it
all back together again.

Oh, no. Hell, no.

I can't move.

I'll be right back.

Detective Regis,
Stengel's been looking all over for you.

Who isn't?

Regis,
remember that claim check?

I sent Greeley to the drug store.

Hey.

Hi.

All right, let's see what we got.

And there she is,

live and in color.

Where'd you get these?

We're gonna be late for the autopsy.
We gotta go.

Her visa card activity,
last 24 hours.

Banning travel, 1,500 bucks.

I got it by a nose hair.

Her phone records,
her credit card,

her bank account all impounded
and now classified.

She had a shuttle flight
to New York,

a reservation at the Pierre,

a Hertz rental car,

connecting flight to the
Virgin Islands, St. Croix,

one way.

Lady was buying herself a new life.

She wasn't coming back,

All right.

The evidence indicates
a crime of passion.

There's clear evidence
of vaginal penetration.

There's traces of lubricant
in the vaginal tract

and under the fingernails.

The blows were from the left
and powerful.

A condom was used.

No semen...

No blood except hers...

No DNA.

Signs of force?

No.

So you're saying sex, not rape?

This doesn't leave the room.

It was here we saw the image

of an untroubled President Jack Neil

before the White House murder

cast a dark cloud over this once
highly regarded administration.

Corey Alan Luchessi,
janitor.

Nobody can account for him
during a 45-minute period

prior to the point

where the Secret Service

found him working in the
East Room at 11:02.

The time of her death has been set

between 10:30

and 11:00.

That guy eats a jelly doughnut,

and then he stabs her 8 times.

Lee Harvey Oswald was seen

in the Book Depository
cafeteria drinking a coke

a minute after Kennedy was shot.

He's reading soap opera digest.

2 months ago.

No, that's not enough.

If that's all you got,
you got nothing.

Except this.

It was found in the bathroom.

It's the missing button from a shirt
found in Luchessi's apartment.

Luchessi doesn't clean the bathrooms.

All right, where is he?

They're picking him up.

What would it take for me

to see all the surveillance
tapes from that night?

Not much.

Just an act of congress.

After you, detective.

Hal, that button was labeled

as being found in the dining room.

How did it get up in the lavatory?

I just must have labeled it wrong.

Luchessi...

Luchessi...

Did you kill her?

Did you ever have an
affair with Carla Town?

No.

No.
Never.

But you did come on to her though, right?

You did come on to her, yeah?

Did you come on to Carla Town?

Yeah.

I came on to her.

I mean, you ever get a look at her?

Oh, yeah.

Hot.

You ever take it any further than that?

No.

I mean, listen to me.

Carla...

Was strictly hands-off.

What do you mean,
hands-off?

I don't know.

But that...
that was the word.

The Secret Service was
looking out for her.

How?

I don't know...

Like if she worked late, see.

11:00, 12:00...

Well, the Secret Service guys,

they would always drive her home.

Don't want that,
don't want that...

That.

This is an act of war.

This is the Pueblo revisited,

and he wants to negotiate?

Give me a break.

Neil negotiating to defend us at a table?

Why, he can't even
defend his own house.

Fred, Fred, look.
Let me remind you

that China and North Korea

had a defense pact for 35 years.

You don't want to go in there

with thousands, maybe 10s of
thousands of American lives...

Where is your rider at?

He's absolutely right.

He's got a sense of history about this.

In '94,
a U.S. helicopter pilot

crossed over to North
Korean territory...

How did you get down here?

OK...

If you want to live,

open the door 2 inches

and slide your weapon
out nice and easy.

Don't make me have to
stain my linen.

Out!

Shit!

It's a nasty-ass city, Regis.

Congratulations.

You are now a statistic.

Let me see that.

Son of a bitch.

So they're eaves-dropping,
for Christ's sake.

Big surprise.
It's the government.

Look,

They brought you in on this

for the same reason they
brought the doctors in Dallas

to work on Kennedy 2 hours
after he was killed.

They have to be seen to
be going the extra mile

so that nobody could say

they could've done more.

Well, you never would
have let me hold Luchessi

on what they have.

You know that.

All right.

Go back and take another look at it,

but don't make any fucking noise

till you have something real.

Yes, sir.

Come on, Carla...

Talk to me.

Talk to me.
Talk to me...

This is full frame?

Drug store machines automatically crop.

Can you get me closer to this?

No problem.

He's Secret Service.

Can you make me a hard copy?

Thank you. You're the man.

Yes, could I have a fruit juice, please?

Hey.

Hey, aren't you...

The Speaker of the House.

Yeah. How you doing?
How you doing?

Good, thanks.

Hey, listen,
do you ever speak to anybody

at the Interstate Commerce Commission?

I... I assume that organization
or something...

I'm not really sure...
but they're evicting me.

In fact, they're evicting...

excuse me. Mr. Speaker?

The detective's services
are needed elsewhere.

Don't worry about it.
I'll... I'll call you.

- Right.
- Yeah.

What are you doing here?

I'm trying to find you.

Look, the task force is closed.

We have a suspect.

Yeah. Me, too.

Who's that?

He's Secret Service. You should know.
Who is he?

I can't tell you.

What, is that classified, too?

Yes, it is.

OK. I'll just have to find out for myself.

There he is right there.

The one who just stepped to the podium.
That's him.

What's his name?

I can't tell you that.

Well, look, either you help me,

or I'll have to find out the loud way.

All right.

Please.

What's his name?

Burton Cash.

Who's he assigned to?

Kyle Neil.

The President's son?

Ladies and gentlemen...

It brings me great honor

to present the First Lady
of the United States,

Mrs. Kitty Neil.

If the bodyguard was there,

that means that Kyle
was on that boat as well.

Domestic violence

has shattered 3 more homes
in America.

Kyle Neil was having an
affair with Carla Town.

He's the one who had sex
with her that night.

You should transfer up here right now.

Silence is the lie that says all is well.

I've got to go.

Hey, hey, hey,

how long do you think it'll be

before the media finds out

that the President's son was banging
her an hour before she died?

I've got to go.

Nice dress.

With industry,
and concerned citizens

and say it's enough?

You are to have no further
contact with detective Regis.

Is that understood?

What if he initiates contact, sir?

Then I want a report,
detailed and immediate.

Written?

Beginning with what
you two just discussed.

Right now.

Kyle?

Excuse me.

Kyle?

Kyle?

We used to date.

Then you know how it works.

I think you should get some revenge.

Excuse me?

You should get revenge.

And how do I go about getting that?

Move to New York,
become a big model,

don't take his phone calls anymore...

Interesting.

I need a drink.

Would you like one?

Your treat?

Sure.

What would you like?

Whatever the lady's buying.

Bourbon?

Nice.

After 2 bourbons, she's telling
me his underwear preference

and that his one mission in life

is to get laid in every
room in the White House.

That sounds like a plan to me.

She even told me this...

she said once Kyle even bragged

about sharing a mistress
with his father.

Carla Town?

Well, she wasn't sure who.

Well, it gets better than that, man.

Her uncle's company,
Brookland Associates...

leading East coast fund-raiser
for Jack Neil.

Really?

I mean, the company

that leased the President's
campaign space

owned her apartment.

Well, this is good.

This is very good.

I hope you know what you're doing.

Good night, now.

Night, dear.

What, do you want to see my badge?

Why did you come here?

So I'm digging...

I'm going through the people magazine

and just happened to come across page 16.

I find a picture of Kyle
coming back from Brazil,

and you're standing next
to him with an earpiece.

You know, I must have looked at 18
months of pictures of this guy,

and you know what I found?

I found that you
were in over half of them.

You were on his detail
and you didn't tell me.

Until when?

I have nothing more to
discuss with you about this.

The case is closed.

Agent Chance, when did they
remove you from Kyle's detail?

You show up here grilling me about work?

Just answer the question.

Don't come to my home again.

Answer the question!

You waltz in here

expecting me to violate
every oath I've ever taken.

I have a duty to protect!

Your duty could send an innocent man

to prison for the rest of his life.

Are you comfortable with that?

I... I think you should leave.

How is that Spikings finds
a button in the bathroom

that no other detective found?

What, did he plant it there?

I asked you to leave.

Did he plant the button?

I don't know, OK?

Everybody's lying around here.

OK, so again...

Why did they remove you
from Kyle's detail?

They didn't remove me.

One night...

I heard sounds...

Of violence...
fighting...

coming from his apartment.

So I went in,

and I found him...

Beating up his girlfriend.

And it was ugly.

And they...

We...

Covered it up for him.

That was even uglier.

And that's when I asked
to be reassigned.

Look, Nina,

I don't know what I
would do if I was you,

but I do know one thing.

I could not let an innocent man

fry for something he did not do.

Maybe you can.

Get Neil out!

Bring our soldiers home!

Get Neil out!

Testing 1, 2, 3.
Testing.

The response? North Korea has
broken off negotiations...

The dark cloud that seems to be
hanging over this administration...

By an incredible turn of events,

the FBI has not been able
to interview the First Son,

now said to have been
in the White House

at the time of the murder.

Get Neil out!

Bring our soldiers home!

I have this to add to
the Carla Town effects.

Could you open it, please?

Sure.

Thank you, agent Chance.

No problem.

Go on through.

Thanks.

OK.

Hello?

Hello.

Any problem?

No. I finally found everything.

You all done then?

Yeah.
Yeah.

Spikings wants to see you.

Now.

Is there anything I should know about?

I don't know. Is there?

You were in the Olympics.

You know what it means
to be a team player?

Sharp-shooting isn't a team sport.

Well, this is.

We put our lives on the line...

Every single day.

We have to trust the
people we work with.

Is there a problem?

You tell me.

This case is closed.

So I've heard.

Harlan Regis hasn't.

You would tell us

if he tried to contact you,
wouldn't you?

Of course.

Good.

'Cause if anybody found out
he elicited your support

for his paranoid theories,

I'd hate to think how that would look.

What people might think...

As a team.

Why is the door shut?

Excuse me?

Why are your hands on me?

'Cause if anyone walked in here,

I'd hate to think
how that might look,

what people might think.

As a team.

In this day and age,

they might get the wrong idea.

Sir...

Agent Chance examined
Carla Town's effects

8 minutes ago.

Get her.

And Cooper...

Do it quietly.

Yes, sir.

Nina Chance...
find her and lock her down.

You two cover the stairwell.

I'll take the front.

Hey, Nina.

Hey.

We got a visual.

I got it. I got it.

Hey...

- Cover the front.
- Right.

Your approval rating's dropped 19%.

Your point?

The point is,

that it's enough to distract anybody.

From making a sober judgment?

I can't defend my own house,

so how am I going
to defend America?

We're a superpower.
We should act like one.

And so is China.

Which, the last time I looked,

had a defense pact with North Korea.

We can handle China...
Now.

10 years time, at the rate they're arming,

who the hell knows?

Mr. President...

Let's bring the boys back.

We can go in with Special Forces.

Alvin?

General Tully has a point.

53% of America...

think we should strike
the North Koreans.

The Vice President's point
just amplifies mine.

Mr. President...

Jack...

I'm not going to war over this.

Alvin...

I want the 7th fleet to stand down.
Not turn around.

Stand down.

If that doesn't bring them back
to the table, we'll reconvene.

All right, thank you,
Mr. President.

Gentlemen?

You may be prepared
to sit around here

while they're torturing our boys.
I'm not.

We're not being passive.

We're being patient.

And prudent.

Mr. President...

I feel duty-bound to tell you

that your lack of action here
borders on the criminal.

Then you've done your duty, general.

Now I'll do mine.

I expect your resignation
on my desk in the morning.

You shall have it.

That's all, gentlemen.

Alvin?

What's the matter?

Here.

This is Carla's tape from
my answering machine.

Well, how'd you get it?
That's right.

I stole it.

Look...

Here's what you need.

In her appointment book,

she has a meeting in there

scheduled for tomorrow
in New York.

Craig Nisker and Associates?

He's the king of tell-all.

His agency sold 5 of the top 10
scandal memoirs of all time.

That's his motive.

I'll be damned.

Jack, Kyle, and Carla...

The Oval Office threesome.

Figure she was going
to burn the whole family.

She was going to score big with this.

I guess Kyle found out about it.

We can place him at
the scene of the crime,

and we know that he had a history
of violence against women.

That's it.

He's mine.

Well, you just don't get it, do you?

These people can make us disappear.

I've got to get out of here.

Where are you going?

I checked into a motel.

I'll call you.

Be careful.

The court may direct what?

Mr. Peterson?

Under 21.98 of the criminal code,

the court may allocate a fine
for the children of the victim.

Please, Mr. Peterson, please.

What is it,
the porch light's on,

but nobody's home,
is that it?

Or the victim's spouse.

Incorrect, Mr. Peterson.

The court may direct that the
amount of the fine when paid

be paid for the use of the
female seduced or her child

if she have any.

Now, pursuant to this statute,

we have Desmond vs.
Presley, which states...

Where testimony in rape prosecution

concerning clothing of
defendant was technically...

what is it, Mr. Neil?

Heavy date?

That's...
that's pretty funny.

Hey.

You look good.

What's going on?

I just need your car, all right?

Hey!

Get the fuck off of me!

Easy! Easy!

Jesus Christ, man,
you are a son of a bitch.

I'm going to have your goddamn badge,
you know that?

Why didn't you just shoot
her if you had this?

You know who I am?
You know who you're dealing with?

I don't give a shit who you are.

You're going down.
Turn around.

Get off of me!

Get over here.

Just like a big fish.

Fell right for the bait.

Or a man who wants to know
who's trying to frame him.

You were with her that night.

You had sex with her,
and then you offed her.

Oh, Jesus.

You think it was an accident

she was murdered an hour
after I slept with her?

Someone knew I'd be there
with her that night.

Yeah, maybe somebody with
a motive as good as yours.

What motive?

Did your father have sex with Carla Town?

I don't know my father's sexual resume.

You knew that she was
leaving town, though.

Yeah, I read the newspapers.

2 nights in New York,

a connecting ticket to the Virgin Islands,

and a Hertz Rent-a-Car.

So?

So, Carla Town didn't
have a driver's license.

You think I killed Carla?

Yeah.

You think you could prosecute me?

Your arms don't reach
that high, detective.

Still don't understand
why you showed up.

I go to sleep every night

thinking about a woman
with 8 stab wounds.

A woman that I slept
with an hour before.

You try that as a sleeping pill.

Hey, you forgot something.

In what is fast rivaling the
North Korean hostage-taking

as an issue of concern
for the White House,

the murder of Carla Town
remains unsolved.

As the attention of Washington
homicide detectives

turn to Kyle Neil,

and the President's approval
ratings continue to plummet,

we must ask...

Will Carla Town be
Jack Neil's Chappaquiddick?

At this hour, no one knows
where the trail will end.

We do know that for an administration

already knee-deep in troubled waters

of a potentially international
confrontation in North Korea,

a serious domestic concern of this nature

is especially dangerous to the
President's public image.

If Jack Neil is unable to protect
the workers under his own roof...

Coffee?

Yeah.

Come on, Regis.

Sorry I'm late.

What's the matter?

What is it?

They were there.

Who was where?

The President and the First Lady.

They weren't at Camp David
when Carla was murdered.

They were in the White House!

How do you know this?

That morning,
I almost shot their golden retriever.

They never go anywhere
without that dog.

Tonight, I saw footage of them coming
back from camp David with the dog.

Their alibi is complete bullshit.

So, that means they
took them to Camp David

after the body was discovered.

Yeah.

Spikings.
He could have smuggled them out.

How?

The tunnels underneath
the White House.

Now, hey, look,
I built this city, remember?

I just can't believe this.

They covered it up,
and they got them out?

Why?

Because then they'd
be considered suspects

just like everybody else.

Why should they be, though?

That's the question.

Because he's the President
of the United States.

What does that mean?

That he doesn't have a motive?

He has a mistress about
to drop a tell-all.

That's motive enough.

The wounds are from the left.

President Neil is right-handed.

Yeah, I noticed that.

He writes with his right hand,

but he swings a baseball bat

and a golf club with his left.

Jesus.

Yeah, she's still there.

Now, do you want me to finish this?

No. They're right
where we want them.

We're right on schedule.

Thanks, Regis. I appreciate it.

I can take care of myself.

I want you to lay low until I
get to Jordan or Spikings.

- OK?
- OK. Yeah.

Secret Service.

Shit!

Back door.

Hey!

Move!
Move!

Get them!
Go!

Go! Go!

Go for the gas tank!

He's clear!

Come on!

Harlan, what about Nina Chance?

Detective, do you have
any more information...

detective, is the
White House involved?

You want the spotlight?
Become a rock star.

I'd reassign you,
but it'd make even more news.

Come in!

Call for you,
detective Regis.

I'm not taking any calls.

It's the White House.

How lovely for you.

That was some stunt you
pulled last night, detective.

Last night had nothing to do with me.

I was off-duty.

Why do I find that difficult to believe?

I don't care what you believe.

I want to know why the
President was in residence

the night of the murder,

and you didn't tell me.

The President's not to be involved.

The President is about to
become an official suspect.

Suspect?

Look, it's my duty to question...

you're not questioning the President.

The Prsidency is an institution,
not a person.

That institution will be protected
at all costs.

Why do you think we got them
out of there that night?

I don't know.
Maybe cover up a crime.

No. To get the smell of blood
away from the North Koreans.

They'd eat us alive.
We'd never get our boys back.

This is global, detective.

It's a little bit off your turf.

This is a homicide.
This is my turf.

Let me tell you something.

I've known Jack Neil for 3 decades.

I'm godfather to his son.

Your suspicions are ludicrous.

Luchessi's a stooge.

- Then prove it.
- How?

Nobody can pinpoint the
actual time of death,

and he can't prove his
whereabouts for an hour.

There are 27 cameras covering the
hallways of the working White House.

You're telling me none of them
captured her walking down a hallway

within 3 minutes of her death?

Or are you trying to tell me?

The tapes are classified.

Out of my reach.

You Republican or Democrat?

I think Washington is drowning
in a sea of its own bullshit.

Those 13 men aren't risking
their lives over bullshit, pal.

Well, this is not about those 13 men.

It's about a dead woman
in the White House.

You know...

Harvard did a study.

Said you could measure
a man's longevity

by the first thing he turns
to in the morning paper.

Well, I'm an obituary man.

Start with the comics.
You'll live longer.

Whoever leaked this,

I'm going to bottle their last breath.

Sir, if she was alive at 10:49,

she had to be murdered while at...

this doesn't change a damn
thing about Luchessi.

Nobody saw him until 11:02.

That still gave him
13 minutes to do the job.

Regis...
What are you going to do?

Put the President in a lineup?

OK. You're Carla Town.

You're about to sell this story
for a shitload of money.

You're going to move to paradise.

You buy a one-way ticket,
never to return, right?

This is Sears calling for Carla Town,

confirming Monday
between 8:00 and 12:00

to install the trash compactor
you bought yesterday.

Why the hell would you
have a trash compactor

installed 2 days after you're gone?

Maybe she forgot?

She just bought it the day before.

What?

Shit!

Monday, 4:30.
You're right.

What have you got?

Wait a minute...

And the handwriting on the 23rd?

The slope of the writing is different.

Here.

Look at this.

The loop on the top of this
"L" is smooth and continuous.

In the day planner,

here, there's an obvious
pause in the writing.

Which indicates a deliberate stroke.

Here.

It's on the "B" as well.

This is a forgery.

There never was an appointment.

She wasn't going anywhere.

Spikings?

Entered at 12:09,
left at 12:14.

Yes?

Yes, sir.

Surveillance tapes.

Well, he had clearance.

Thank you.

Bob?

Yes, sir?

I want to talk to detective Regis,
D.C. homicide.

He's going to want to
question Nick Spikings.

Get me Spikings'
address in Alexandria.

Yes, sir.

Somebody's been playing
us like puppets.

What are you saying?

Carla Town wasn't killed to
protect the administration.

She was murdered to destroy it.

What do you mean?

I'm saying that somebody dumped
the dead body in the White House

so that the blood trail could
lead right to the first family.

They even manufactured
the motive.

So?

Only the guard knew I took the tapes.

That means you've got
someone on the inside.

It's time you and I
stopped playing games.

Sit down.

You have any idea what it takes
to stand all day in one place

watching a dumpster in the pouring rain?

Because that dumpster just
happens to be next to a hotel

where the President is going to
be staying the following day?

And his life is in your hands.

Loneliest job in the world.

Get rid of the wire.

I know who's listening anyway.

Regis.

Think you got it all figured out?

You haven't read me right at all.

I see my life and my service

with a clarity you're incapable...

shit.

Shit!

Shit!

Cover me!

Go!

Thought you were a sharp-shooter.

Save it.

Freeze China out if they
stand with North Korea.

All talks for a grain deal cease

until they stand down.

If China wants grain,
I want our boys back.

You got 5 minutes, Al.

I'm afraid it's going
to take longer than that.

It's bad news, Mr. President.

It's still Jack, Alvin.

Nick Spikings is dead.

What?

And he had evidence that
Kyle killed Carla Town.

Spikings collected it.

They found a condom
with Kyle's semen

and the woman's fingerprints on it.

They found the murder weapon.

And a surveillance tape putting
Kyle and the woman together

just minutes before the murder.

There's got to be another explanation.

No, no.

And Spikings was just about to
cut himself a deal to leak it.

Nick Spikings?

He wouldn't do that to me.

Everybody has a price.

Not the first thing in your life

you've been naive about,
is it, Jack?

Obviously not.

Well, you're safe now.

So's Kyle.

Spikings...

Was murdered.

Just get a bucket
and start getting the water

out of the boat, you guys.

Mayday, this is the ketch Rene
off Turner point...

let's see what we got.

Jordan.

21:18.
That's 9:18.

All right, he goes out there.

Hey, we got a special on
that model this week, folks.

4 heads, 21...

back off.

Sure.
Only a couple left, though.

Just so you know.

20:16.

8:16,
he comes in.

I can even throw in a universal
remote with that, you know?

Back off!

Sure, sure, take your time.

Just ask for Jack.

He comes in, and yet he leaves...
wait.

Who's that?

I know that guy.

That's the guy that was at Spikings'.

The 31st name.

Jordan walked him in.

Jordan set up the whole thing.

Yeah.

The investigation
into the White House murder

has resulted in 2 suspects.

The car,
a burgundy Chevrolet Caprice,

has been identified as
the possible suspect car.

In other news,

a strike is pending as
workers' contract talks...

There won't be anything
anyone can prove.

All the evidence will be destroyed.

What do you want?

Your resignation.

Effective 10 P.M.

I don't know why you
look surprised, Jack.

Tully wasn't half-right
when he called it criminal.

Because we didn't go in
with guns blazing?

You think that would've
saved our boys?

You have failed,
Mr. President!

You have failed your office pitifully.

I've seen your cowardice grow

from the very beginning.

And then,
finally,

not having served your
country in the military,

you had no idea of the
time-honored code

of never leaving a man
on the field of battle.

You should've brought
those AWACS boys home

dead, wounded,
or otherwise.

You should've done it
by force if necessary.

Any president who
serves up his country

as appetizers for the enemy

isn't fit for this office.

So the choice is yours.

You can...
you can resign.

Say it's due to your health.

And you can tour the best
golf clubs in America.

Or you can stay in office,

and you can watch
your son destroyed.

The choice is yours.

I mean, if any father
can call that a choice.

Why didn't he just kill Neil?

Because it's easier to kill the secretary

than it is the President.

Besides, alive and ruined is better.

Than what?

Than dead and martyred.

And now this special bulletin.

An Oval Office address is
scheduled for 10:00 tonight.

Unidentified sources say
the President will resign.

Jordan played his card.

In related news,
all federal...

all right, that gives us 2 hours

to get to the White House
and the President.

Are you insane?

How?

We'll use the tunnels
the same way they got out.

You don't even know where they are.

Yeah, but you do.

I mean, you know the security,

and you know the layout.

You're out of your mind.

Why, because I'm about
to help a government

that's kicking me out on the streets?

You got no argument there.

We got to get rid of this car.

Hello.

Don't say my name.

Just listen.

Remember where we had
that homicide 2 weeks ago?

Yeah.

OK. Meet me there in one hour.

Get down.

Cops.

2.

That's the steam grate.

It'll take us to one of 3
points that are vulnerable

to penetration in the White House.

Eisenhower put a water filtering
system down in there.

There's got to be an alarm.

Yeah, there is.

It goes off all the way across Town.

The General Services building.

No White House,
no Secret Service.

Response time?

Well, officially 5-7 minutes.

But realistically 10 or 11.

By that time we'll either be fired,

or we're going to be dead.

I was a Park Ranger during that.

You?

What do you think?

Meet and greet time?

He said you did it, too.

Hold on.

Evening, officers.

Evening.

Tense night in the big city?

Yeah.

Could be this thing with
the President maybe?

Nice to know, though,

that we have our men in blue out here

to keep a watchful eye over us.

Are you from Washington?

OK.

Hey, didn't that old senator
lay the wood

to that stripper around
here somewhere years ago?

All right. Take it easy this evening?

Just asking.

Didn't see it on my...
my guide map.

OK, we'll see you later, all right?

All right, gentlemen.

Good night.

Good night.

Come on, come on.

Yes.

Go.

Be careful.

Come on, come on, come on.

My grandmother moves
faster than you.

Wait.

Where are we?

We're under the mall.

That's Pennsylvania Avenue.

Which way?

It's not far.

Oh, Christ.

Now what?

End of the line.

This is the old
emergency water system.

These pipes go right through the wall.

Good, 'cause that's where we're going.

After you're sworn in,

you'll make a short statement
saluting Jack Neil

for his service to his country.

You'll ask for the country's prayers

for bi-partisan unity.

Would you 2 excuse us now, please?

Thank you very much.

Gentlemen, at 2400 hours,

President Dylan will sign off

on the raid into North Korea.

We're looking for a steel door.

What do you got?

Army Corps of Engineers.

These are the escape tunnels.

Lincoln had these built

in case the Confederates
laid siege to the White House.

Who says history isn't practical?

We're running out of time.

Go.

You first.

What the...

You hear that?

Oh, Jesus!

Oh, Christ.

Oh, Stengel.

Go ahead. I'll be OK.

OK.

Hang in there, all right?

We got to cross over.

Tonight, in less than an hour,

Jack Neil will step down

after a little more than 2 years in office.

For CNN, I'm Doris MacMillan reporting.

Let's do this.

OK, wait.

We're here.

These are motion sensors.

They trip the alarm in the White House.

We set those off and this
room fills up with agents.

How long?

10 seconds.

We've come too far to turn back now.

Yeah.

I'll hold them off as long as I can.

Movement in 102.

Repeat,
movement in 102.

Subsector-11 tunnels.

Repeat, tunnels,
Subsector-11.

Move!
Get out of the way!

You're under arrest!

Drop your weapon!

Check the corridor all the way down.

Checking Subsector grade.

Yo, go!

Cover Sector-12.

Got it.

Freeze!
Hold it!

OK, on the ground.
On the ground!

Get on the ground.

Clear Sector-7 right now.

Report back to me only.

Let's go.

What agent captured?

Get her up here.

Not now.

Hold it.

Let me see some I.D.

Agent, gun!

- The janitor!
- Jordan.

Get down!
Get down!

Get him! He killed Spikings!

Mr. President!

Your son is innocent!

Sir, you can't be here.

I am here.

Seal the corridor.

I am still the President!

Seal the corridor!

Alvin Jordan,
you're under arrest

for conspiracy in the
murder of Carla Town

and Nicholas Spikings.

You have the right to remain silent.

Anything you say can
and will be held against you

in a court of law.

You have the right to an attorney.

If you can't afford one,
you prick,

one will be appointed by the courts.

How did you get in here?

I crawled.

He's the one who gave Spikings
the evidence on your son.

The evidence is you on tape

with the man you walked in
to kill Carla Town.

The same man who put a bullet
through Nicholas Spikings.

Stand him up.

You don't have to believe me.

Just look at the tape.

It's in my back.

Agent?

Mr. President,
Carla Town was killed

to destroy you.

To force your resignation.

Then Jordan had Spikings shot

because he saw the tape.

Arrest him.

What?

Not him.

Him.

My God, Alvin.

You really had her killed,
didn't you?

I think President Teddy
Roosevelt said it best.

If I must choose between
righteousness and peace,

I choose righteousness.

She was 25 years old.

She was a child.

She was a casualty of war.

Mr. President.

Get him out of here.

Thank you, son.

Gun!

Nina, just stay easy.

Stay easy.

Just stay easy. I'm right here.

All right, hold on.

No, there's absolutely
no truth whatsoever

to any of those rumors.

At no time was
President Neil planning

on resigning from office.

Here's what we know so far.

The murderer of Carla Town is dead.

He was killed today

as he fired upon authorities
attempting to arrest him.

In that same gun battle,

National Security Advisor
Alvin Jordan

and senior Secret Service
agent Nicholas Spikings

were also killed.

Did the killer actually
penetrate the White House

with the objective
of killing miss Town?

In 180 years,

there has never been a
penetration of the White House.

President and Mrs. Neil will
have a statement for you later.

Thank you very much.

Call D.C. homicide.

Tell them the detective
we found in the tunnel

is on his way to university hospital.

Paramedics say he's going to be fine.

How is she?

She's stable.

You saved my life.

Thank you.

And detective,

how can I ever repay you?

Don't bother.

Just doing my job.

Well, there is one thing.

Yes, detective?

Have you ever heard of the
Interstate Commerce Commission?

Sure.

Secretary Randall's office
is right down the street.

Right down the street?

Yeah.

See? It's not what you know,

it's who you know.

What are you doing for dinner?

What... what... I mean,
I'm not trying to...
