Patriot Games Page #2

Synopsis: Former CIA analyst, Jack Ryan is in England with his family on vacation when he suddenly witnesses an explosion outside Buckingham Palace. It is revealed that some people are trying to abduct a member of the Royal Family but Jack intervenes, killing one of them and capturing the other, and stops the plan in its tracks. Afterwards, he learns that they're Irish revolutionaries and the two men are brothers. During his court hearing the one that's still alive vows to get back at Jack but is sentenced and that seems to be the end of it. However, whilst the man is being transported, he is broken out. Jack learns of this but doesn't think there's anything to worry about. But, when he is at the Naval Academy someone tries to kill him. He learns that they are also going after his family and so he rushes to find them, safe but having also been the victims of a failed assassination. That's when Jack decides to rejoin the CIA, and they try to find the man before he makes another attempt.

Good luck today.

Sir Jack!

Lady Catherine!

If Id had time to think, Id have

preferred to do something else.

You're saying you didn't have time,

so you didn't?

- Didn't what?

- You didn't think. Isnt that it?

No, you raced into a situation

of which you had no understanding -

- and attacked my client, who was

a pedestrian also hurrying to help.

- Wearing a ski mask?

- You shot another man in the chest.

- After they shot me.

- And felled a second victim.

I used that force

I deemed necessary.

I should say so. I doubt very much

if anyone would disagree.

I didn't make this happen...

He did.

There is one more question.

Are you still in the paid service

of the CIA?

Remember you're under oath.

- No.

- I beg your pardon?

No!

That's all, thank you.

The witness may stand down.

Thank you.

Bloody proud of yourself,

aren't you?

You stuck your nose in, and

now you've killed my baby brother.

Hey, Daddy.

Wow, you guys have really grown.

- How are you feeling?

- Not so good.

- Are you tired?

- No.

- I have no idea what time it is.

- You're telling me.

- Did I miss something?

- No ... but I did.

Im pregnant.

Honey!

Can I watch some TV?

Im not at all tired.

What?

Plates.

- Do I have any say in this?

- Sure, this is a family.

- Everyone has a say.

- But my say is after the fact.

- Or am I wrong?

- No, you're right.

Michaela despises her little sister.

Well, it could be even worse.

It could be a baby brother.

Oh no! Boys!

Jack.

Are you denying

that the IRA was behind this action?

When the IRA carry out a campaign,

they admit to it.

That's their policy.

They'll proudly say they did it.

Have the IRA admitted to this?

I mean, common sense, logic...

Can I at least suggest some names?

Sure you can.

Good morning, Mr. Cooley.

And to you. How's business?

Fine, thank you. I came upon this

first edition at an estate auction.

Can your man restore it?

- When would you want this by?

- Soon.

The binder

may have some trouble with this.

Is that so?

Ill see what I can do.

He's not a miracle worker.

No, obviously he's not, Mr. Cooley.

The best you can arrange then.

- Good day, Mr. Cooley.

- Good day, madam.

Hello, Sean, do you mind

if I come along with you?

Although I disapprove

of the things you've done, -

- I can't quite bring myself

to condemn you.

I can't, because I understand

where the hatred comes from.

I more than understand it.

But the fact is, we're very near the

darkest hole in all of Great Britain, -

- and you still won't speak to me.

The bridge is up.

We'll be here for five minutes.

Understood.

Mobile three to Lymington...

Open the door.

Open it or Ill kill him.
