Not that I dont have you

by the balls already for trying

to stick me in the doorway.

- You'd be lying.

- I don't care.

I know you.

You're her dad.

And you never came to

visit her. Didn't even bother.

Yeah, well... you

worked with her.

And I need to know what

kind of trouble she was in.

I can't talk about that.

There's security structures.

Clearance to what we do.

I understand you

won't help me.

But I'm confused you

wont help Emma.

She's dead, man. There's

no way to help Emma.

There are probably two

f***ing guys out there

watching and listening to

us right f***ing now

Now, I'm sorry, but you need

to get the f*** out of here now.

Please.

Or I'm dead.

There's something

I need to give you.

Yeah? Sure, go ahead.

Here's the keys

to her place.

And her personal things.

Thanks.

I'm going to leave you alone

now until you realize

you got to talk to me.

Alright?

Yeah.

I know you're a good guy

otherwise Emma wouldn't

have nothing to

do with you.

Here's my card. It's got

my cell on it, okay?

Call.

You were right,

I dont like him.

Why did you have

a gun, honey?

Jesus.

Is there something I

could do for you, Millroy?

What do you do

usually, Jedburgh?

If someone has a national

security problem...

they dial a number in

(Northern Virginia?)

And then I decide

what happens next.

What's your problem?

You're a consultant in security.

I'm merely consulting.

So consult.

There's a company

called Northmoor.

They own a number of

defense department contracts.

It's not an agency front,

if that's what you think.

- It's a real private company.

- That is unusual.

They have private security.

Autonomous security.

I'm autonomous myself.

These are the facts:

One of their secure facilities

was penetrated.

Three people died

making their escape.

A fourth, an employee who

may have been involved

has been killed.

- By Northmoor security?

- I didn't say that.

No one would.

Fact is, we don't know.

She was shot dead

five nights ago.

Her father is a

Boston Detective.

Boston police are working

on the assumption

that her father was

the target.

And what assumption

are we working on?

That he wasn't.

- Who killed her?

- That's not the issue at this point.

National security

is the issue.

I know your function, Jedburgh.

This has to be cleaned up.

Whatever it takes.

Yes.

Are you absolutely sure you

want me to look into this?

Cause you have to be

absolutely sure.

- She was killed in Boston.

- Yeah.

But this isn't a

part of that.

You think it's a

funeral robbery?

Yeah.

Look..

I don't want this mixed up

with the other business.

I don't need the

trouble, alright?

Do me a solid in
