FRED:
Excuse me, sir. I think you should
see this. Came in on the Fax.
Only two words are written: "RELEASE HIM."
HUB:
Release him? Him who? Who are we
holding?
TINA:
Marv Albert?
SUSSMAN:
McVeigh? Sheik what's-his-name from
the Trade Center.
FRANK:
-- Omar Abdel Rahman... a**hole.
FRED:
The Hamas guy got released in April.
FRANK:
Under protest.
HUB:
(looks at the fax)
Why be coy about it?
SUSSMAN:
You think it's phony?
TINA:
(covering the phone)
Hub, somebody's flashing a government
badge over at the warehouse where
they're working on the bus. Our tech
guys want to know if we're cooperating
with any other agencies on this thing.
Off Hub's look, we:
CUT TO:
AN OLD WAREHOUSE IN BROOKLYN - DUSK
Hub and Haddad join AGENT FLOYD ROSE, a tall Black man.
AGENT ROSE:
-- She's looking for wiring signatures
on the device and asking for copies
of any latent prints we've managed
to lift.
HUB:
-- Agency?
AGENT ROSE:
Smells like it. Turns out she's also
been talking to some of the
passengers.
In the klieg lights -- THE BUS. Men in white coats dust every
inch and generally behave as if investigating a crashed UFO.
In their midst, a young WOMAN, midwestern pretty in a serious
suit. She looks up as Hub enters.
HUB:
Hi.
WOMAN:
Hi, there.
HUB:
Special Agent Anthony Hubbard. FBI.
WOMAN:
Oh, sh*t, I've been trying to liaise
with you all day. My name is Elise
Kraft, National Security Council.
She offers her hand. Hub doesn't take it yet.
HUB:
-- And you've been trying to "liaise"
with me all day? Did you think of
trying the phone book, Elise? We
have fourteen lines, that's not
counting the unlisted ones.
ELISE:
(still holds out hand)
Hi, I'm Elise Kraft, National Security
Council.
Finally, he takes her hand. And doesn't let go.
HUB:
And I'm Colin Powell. What exactly
do you people want with my bus.
She tries to take her hand away, but he tightens his grip.
ELISE:
We're all on the same team here,
Agent Hubbard.
HUB:
Who exactly is "we" on this particular
team, Elise?
ELISE:
It's never the question that's
indiscreet, only the answer.
He smiles. She smiles back. Convinced she's charmed him.
HUB:
Tell you what, you send me an official
inter-agency request for cooperation
on this and I'll give you copies of
everything we come up with. Otherwise,
get your ass on out of here before
you contaminate my crime scene any
more than you already have.
ELISE:
There's no reason to be nasty.
HUB:
You think this is nasty?
(smiles)
In case you haven't heard. The CIA
has no charter to operate
domestically. Which puts you in
violation of federal law.
ELISE:
Not according to the Cooperation
Agreement, Special Order 12333 -- I
suggest you reread the paragraph on
sharing information. I happen to be
well within my authority.
