Patriot Games Page #4

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.

Whoever this traitor is,

they'd better pray I never find him.

We know you'll do your best, sir.

We don't know

if were ever coming home

stand up, buckle up,

shuffle through the door

jump out and shout Marine Corps!

Egesta appealed to Athens

on what basis, on what grounds?

Mr. Viederman?

A bad time for you?

They said they'd be grateful.

- Didn't they?

- Yeah.

Fight our battle and the world

will fear and respect you.

- Athens already had respect.

- It didn't matter.

- Pride, sir.

- That's the real battle.

- Attention on deck.

- Attention to orders.

I have a presentation to make.

For service above and beyond

the call of duty of a tourist, -

- we recognize John Patrick Ryan

with the order of the Purple Target.

We hope that he will duck

next time, -

- lest he become part of history

rather than a teacher of it.

- How old is he?

- Ten.

Plate-glass window?

Here goes. Hi, guys.

We may have to bump my next

appointment. This might take time.

Yes, let's bump it.

Okay, let's do it.

You just waded on in

like John Wayne.

Why did you do it?

What were you thinking?

- I don't know. I wasn't thinking.

- You sound like my students.

It pissed me off.

I couldn't just stand there

and watch them shoot those people.

It was ... rage.

Pure rage.

- It just made me mad.

- I hope you never get mad at me.

She's late, Sean.

She was at this dance,

and then this guy at the end...

She's kind of cute, isn't she?

Is she?

Bye.

- Hi, Mommy.

- How are you?

Let's do it.

Damn!

Highway 50. West.

Goodbye, Doctor.

Dr Ryan! He's getting away.

Where's Sean Miller?

Dr Catherine Ryan, please.

How long?

Come on!

This is Dr Ryan. I want the results

on the Thompson boy's retinal scan.

Cathy, get off the phone.

- Look, Mom.

- Its beautiful.

Im still holding.

Id like to speak with Dr Sutton.

Operator, emergency breakthrough.

The number is 555-3464.

Its a mobile phone, I know.

What do you mean I can't?

Faster!

- Dr Ryan, the scan is fine.

- Great, thank you.

Jesus!

Hello? Jack?

Cath, something's happened.

Is Sally with you?

- Is everything all right?

- Fine.

There she is.

Get to the nearest police station

as quick as you can.

- The police station?

- Get off the highway.

Steady, mate.

- Where are you now?

- Rowe Boulevard.

There's a police station

at Houston Street.

- Is something wrong?

- No, everything's fine.

They're gone.

- Mr. Ryan?

- Yeah.

Your wife's okay.

She sustained a concussion.

- She's pregnant.

- The baby's okay.

- And my daughter?

- Let's sit down.

No, talk to me.

Its going to be a while

before we know.

- Where's Sally?

- She's in the recovery room.

They're watching her.
