D.C. homicide detective Regis is assigned to investigate, only to find evidence suppressed by the Secret Service. After suspecting a cover-up, Regis convinces Secret Service Agent Nina Chance to assist in uncovering the truth.

While the investigation ensues, the President, Jack Neil, is holding meetings with top military personnel regarding North Korea's holding 23 U.S. military personnel hostage. Regis confronts top Secret Service Agent Spikings at his home shortly after Spikings returns with evidence leading to the murder.

You resent the implication?

People don't speak English | in this town anymore.

Detective, it's this way.

I know that.

No statement about...

...what's happening in the White House. | The First Family is at Camp David.

As you can see behind me, | the immediate area has been sealed off.

Sheldon Tercott, CNN, | at the White House.

So why kill someone | from the Office of Protocol?

Maybe she sat some ambassador | in the wrong seat.

- They kill you for that now? | - It's a tough town.

If I'd known, I'd have put a turnstile | in and charged admission.

- Who else was here? | - Secret Service.

They started around 11: 15.

They even took her garbage.

If you want me, | I'm downstairs in 101.

- Thank you very much. | - Anytime.

Wait a minute.

The body's found at 11:00.

The Feds get here 15 minutes later.

How?

They don't even have cool sirens like | we do. Look at her photo album.

Look at this, Regis.

Is this the only one?

It's the only one I see, | but I just got here.

But I can tell you that the apartment | is registered in the name of...

...Brookland Associates.

But that is about all I have right now.

1.2 on the beach!

White House is giving out | sweet Christmas bonuses this year.

Looks that way.

I want a list of everybody | in-house last night between 9 and 11.

And don't say it's classified.

Quick on the draw, Agent Chance.

There's only 30 names here.

All whereabouts accounted for.

Spikings told me there were 31.

I see his name here.

So whose name is missing?

Apparently, | Agent Spikings was mistaken.

The count is 30 in-house.

Check it out.

I'm on it.

Where are you from?

Iowa.

So why the Secret Service? | I mean, why not...?

Kindergarten teacher?

You don't look like one of those.

I was in the Olympics.

The Olympics!

That's how I got in the Secret Service.

- That right? | - I was on the sharpshooting team.

We met President Reagan. It was 1988.

One of his agents was a woman. | She took me under her wing.

Sharpshooting.

I feel safer already.

I brought home the gold.

Where are we going?

To my place. I got to change.

You're being evicted?

Whole building. Feds are tearing | it down to put up a garage for the...

Interstate Commerce Commission.

Why do they need a parking lot here?

I'm trying to figure that out. Everyone | thinks I can fix it because I'm a cop.

Harlan, what's going on?

Mrs. Wallace...

Soon we'll be living | out of garbage cans.

I'm making progress.

- Truly I am. | - Progress.

That's what you call it?

Progress. | Yeah, you're making progress!

You take care of your business.

What you should be doing | is taking care of your business.

I know what he's making progress at.

Make yourself comfortable.
