XIII: The Conspiracy Page #2

Synopsis: The first female US President Sally Sheridan is shot dead by a sniper during her Veterans Day speech. Her assassin narrowly escapes the scene with his life, national security hot on his heels - or so it seems. Three months later, an elderly couple discover the body of a wounded man in a tree, wearing a parachute. The young man (Dorff) cannot remember the slightest thing about his own identity. The only clue is a tattoo on his neck, "XIII". Meanwhile, in the Whitehouse, government intelligence is still conducting the search for the President's killer. With the elections just weeks away, a confirmed suspect could swing the vote for the administration. Hours after XIII's location is picked up by covert intelligence, elite special ops forces are swarming the couple's house in Cape Fear. Running on adrenaline and instinct, XIII tactically takes out the soldiers one by one. On the run, clinging to one desperate clue after another, XIII begins to piece back his life, fragments of his memory r

This is political.

Colonel, it's always political.

His pockets were empty.

No wallet. No ID.

His watch stopped at four fifteen.

Probably about the time

his plane crashed.

See his parachute got caught in a tree.

He must have bailed over the forest.

That terrain there's

nowhere to touch down.

And there are puncture wounds

probably from the branches.

But, this one here

had a bullet inside it.

He was shot?

Yeah. Twice.

The other one grazed his temple here see?

His head was bleeding pretty badly.

We're going to have to butterfly it.

Clean him up

and I'll take him to the hospital.

No, Abe.

I've seen what they do

to people like him.

No ID, no insurance.

He'd be lucky to end up

in a cot in a hallway.

Martha, he needs a doctor.

I am a doctor.

No, you were one.

They can't take care of him

the way I can.

Okay, Martha, okay.

Wait. Look at this.

Xlll.

What do you think it means?

I don't know. Could explain his luck.

Colonel Amos,

we have to find the killer now.

Mr. Wax.

This came off USNN this morning.

They've been running it all day.

Governor Sheridan, after taking over

the GOP nomination from Dean Barber,

your campaign has

made incredible inroads.

Carving out a six-point lead

in the latest polls.

Well, I think, the country has been

forced to re-evaluate its leadership.

I mean, in the months

since my sister's death

we have seen an unprecedented surge

in terrorist attacks on American soil.

The bombing of an electrical grid

in New Hampshire

that disrupted power across four states.

The tragic sarin gas attack

on Chicago's subways.

Meanwhile, President Galbrain

and his administration

have made no progress

in their investigation of

the assassination.

My sister was a great leader.

She served our country.

She deserves more.

The American people deserve more.

They deserve security.

And that's why I'm running

for this presidency.

T o take up my sister's legacy.

Because whether you are a Republican,

whether you're a Democrat,

this election comes down

to one key issue.

Who do you trust to keep you safe?

So in your opinion the current

administration is...

Cut it off.

He should be ashamed.

Invoking Sally's name,

capitalizing on her death.

It's terrible.

Yes, but it's working.

And if we don't counter Sheridan

is going to slaughter us at the polls.

Sheridan lost his sister.

Do you think hitting him with attack ads

is going to make us look good?

No, but it could hurt him.

Raise doubts.

Get the public talking about

something other

than the attacks and the assassination.

Gentlemen,

I want to make myself very clear.

Sally Sheridan was more

than just the president;

she was a friend.
