Murder at 1600 Page #6

Synopsis: A 25 year old female White House staffer, Carla Town, is murdered in the White House. 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. The President's son Kyle Neil is a prime suspect, as he was having sex with Carla within an hour of her murder. 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. The home is attacked and Spikings is killed, but Regis makes it out alive with Agent Chance's assistance, and with the evidence tape.

Did he plant it there?

I asked you to leave.

Did he plant it?

I don't know, okay?

Everybody's lying around here.

So, again...

...why did they remove you | from Kyle's detail?

They didn't remove me.

One night...

...I heard sounds...

...of violence, fighting...

...in his apartment.

So I went in.

And I found him...

...beating up his girlfriend.

He was ugly.

And they...

We...

...covered it up for him.

That was even uglier.

That's when I asked to be reassigned.

Look, I don't know what I would do | if I was you.

But I know | I could not let an innocent man...

...fry for something he did not do.

Maybe you can.

Get Neil out!

Bring our soldiers home! | Get Neil out!

Testing. 1, 2, 3.

Response:
North Korea has broken off | negotiations.

A dark cloud seems to be hanging | over this administration.

The FBI has not been able | to interview the First Son...

...now said to have been in the White | House at the time of the murder.

I have this to add | to the Carla Town effects.

Could you open it, please?

Thank you, Agent Chance.

No problem.

Go on through.

Hello?

Any problem?

No, I finally found everything.

You done?

Spikings wants to see you.

Now.

Anything I should know about?

I don't know. Is there?

You were in the Olympics.

You know about being a team player?

Sharpshooting isn't a team sport.

This is.

We put our lives on the line...

...every single day.

You must trust your co-workers.

Is there a problem?

You tell me.

This case is closed.

So I've heard.

Harlan Regis hasn't.

You would tell us | if he tried to contact you, right?

Of course.

Good.

Because if anybody found out...

...he'd elicited your support...

...for his paranoid theories...

...I'd hate to think how it'd look.

What people might think...

...as a team.

Why's the door shut?

Excuse me?

Why are your hands on me?

Because if anyone walked in...

...I'd hate to think how it'd look, | what people might think.

As a team.

This day and age, | they might get the wrong idea.

Agent Chance examined | Carla Town's effects 8 minutes ago.

Get her. And Cooper...

...do it quietly.

Nina Chance, find her and lock her down.

Cover the stairs, I'll take the front.

We got a visual.

I got it.

Cover the front!

Your approval ratings dropped 19%%%.

Your point?

The point is that | it's enough to distract anybody.

From a sober judgement?

I can't defend my own house...

...so how can I defend America?

We're a superpower, | let's act like it.

So is China...

...which, last time I looked, | had a pact with North Korea.

We can handle China... now.

10 years time, | at the rate they're arming, who knows?
