Clear and Present Danger Page #2

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"?

Sh*t.

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.

Seor Roberto Landa.
