Patriot Games Page #5

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.

We'll know in a few hours.

They had to remove her spleen.

She's in pretty bad shape.

Im sorry.

Here you go. Are you okay?

We go over to our reporter

with Paddy O'Neil.

Im praying for the recovery of the

victims of this senseless attack.

Sinn Fin are outraged, as are most

Irishmen, at this heinous crime.

I want to share with Dr Ryan

our empathy and anguish, -

- at an appropriate time.

- Was funding for the IRA...

- The IRA are not responsible here.

- They had nothing to do with it?

- No more questions.

- She's going to be okay.

- Thank you.

Its all right. She's fine.

Mr. Ryan?

Id like to share with you

our deep regret...

Mr. Ryan...

You know the deal. You are involved.

Its not good process.

The victim of a crime

does not make the best analysis, -

- even if

you knew something about terrorism.

I have guys on it

who know about the IRA.

Im not standing here with my hat

in my hand. I want back in.

Jack...

Thank God about Sally.

Alice and I are so relieved.

- Have you managed any sleep?

- Not much, sir.

Im interrupting something.

You were telling Jack that we'd

be better off without him around.

Or something along those lines.

Marc Spiva. Jack Ryan.

Tony Ferro. Alex Winter.

- Rose...

- You look better than I expected.

- Its an illusion.

- It'd have to be. Good to see you.

We've carved a niche for you.

Here's your night-table reading.

Father killed by RUC...

Belfast, 1979.

Good morning, sir.

Could I see some identification?

- Did you see the game?

- Yeah, it was all right.

For that penalty,

he was outside the area.

- What the hell...?

- Nobody move!

Get 'em up!

Good morning.

Kevin O'Donnell.

A long-time IRA strategist.

He saw Timothy Miller die in 1979.

He looked after Sean and Patrick.

Its a recent photo.

If we could find O'Donnell,

we'd find Miller, too.

- Are you with me, Jack?

- Im just thinking.

- What about the gun?

- It wasn't registered.

- Son of a b*tch.

- What?

Look...

SO-13 gets an anonymous tip

about some bomb-making setup.

They get the bad guys,

but who tipped them off?

Three IRA hitmen

found dead at a farmhouse.

That's British soldiers

getting out of hand.

No, look ... Brigade Commander

Jimmy O'Reardon.

Ends up dead in a cheap hotel.

A professional hit.

- Was that after the farmhouse?

- Same day.

- Same day.

- What are you coming to?

Jack! Where are you going?

Im going to throw

some water on my face.

Excuse me...

I think one of us

is in the wrong room.

Its okay.

- Jack!

- Get down.

When the IRA carry out a campaign,

they admit to it.

Get down!

Who are we looking for here,

IRA terrorists?

Or some ultra-violent faction

of the IRA, fighting their own way.
