Shooter Page #2

But let's not take the chance.

Your longer shots

were never confirmed.

That's because long shots

generally go places

you wouldn't wanna have

to go afterwards to confirm them.

Confirmation's a desk pogue's problem.

You know what it takes

to make a shot at that range?

Everything comes into play that far.

Humidity, elevation, temperature,

wind, spindrift.

There's a 6- to10-second flight time

so you have to shoot

at where the target's going to be.

Even the Coriolis effect,

the spin of the Earth, comes into play.

President'll be wearing body amour.

That means a headshot,

at over a mile.

You believe there's a shooter involved

capable of making this shot?

Yes.

Well, then you got a real problem.

You need to find the shooter.

That's being worked on

from another direction.

We need you to do this.

Don't really like the President much.

Didn't like the one before

that much, either.

You like the idea of the President?

Living in a free country?

Do we allow America

to be ruled by thugs?

Sure, some years we do.

I believe you stood before a flag

and solemnly swore

that you'd support and defend

the Constitution of the United States

against all enemies,

foreign and domestic.

I think your five minutes is up.

Listen to me, son.

I don't want you to turn on the TV

next week

and see the President dead,

and know you could've done

something about it.

Don't do that to yourself.

Is that the new one?

The truck.

You got the big engine in there?

Wow, look at that, huh? Eight-liter V8.

Thing's so big, EPA doesn't even bother

to give you the gas mileage for it.

You mind if I take a picture?

This is beautiful.

Someone will be at this number

night or day.

You see what he did?

He didn't need a photo of the engine.

No, he doesn't give a rat's ass

about the engine.

He's trained in counterintel.

Backed up far enough

to take a picture of the plates.

This is our guy.

I thought he turned you down.

He said yes. He just doesn't know it yet.

It's a far piece, Sam.

Think the President ought to worry?

Yeah, I think he better worry.

Yeah, he'll be fine.

Just feed him once a day. Read him

a few ballistics tables if he looks lonely.

Yep. I'm out.

Come here, buddy.

Okay.

Think you'll be able to tough it out

without me for a couple days?

Yeah.

This is Command Post.

What's your status? Over.

Yeah, we're finishing up here on 6th.

Roger that. We copy.

Checkpoint down, over.

Before you stands Independence Hall,

the birthplace of the United States

and one of the most important buildings

in American history.

Built in 1732...

Keep a visual eye on 72nd...

...both the Declaration of Independence
