- I don't want to talk to him.

- Just tell him it wasn't me.

- Tell him again that it wasn't--

- It wasn't anybody.

- I'm not saying it was. I'm just saying--

- I wasn't having an affair!

Cindy, I know you weren't. I would just--

What do you want me to tell him

that I haven't already told him 30 times?

This is why I left him. He's the most

pigheaded man I've ever met.

You still love him, don't you?

- Hey, Pete. Pete!

- Hey, Tom.

You know a guy named Walter Xavier?

Yeah, sure. He's a snitch I used to use

when I was working in counterfeiting.

Okay. Just fielded a call from this guy.

I told him you weren't running

informants anymore,

offered to transfer the call to WFO, PID...

He said you're the only person he'd talk to.

Thanks.

There he is! Publishers Clearing House,

my man! You got something for me?

Did you fill yours out yet?

Every year my mom bugs me

to fill that thing out. I never do.

- Long time, no see, Walter. What's up?

- Let's walk.

You got some info on that

Charlie Merriweather murder?

- Was that that agent who was killed last night

outside his house on Monday? - Yeah.

Maybe he stumbled into something

he wasn't supposed to, like I did.

- What was that something?

- A plot to kill the president.

Walter, you know, it's a little

more difficult than it sounds.

Not if you got somebody inside.

What are you saying?

There's a mole in the Secret Service?

That's right.

- There's an agent who wants to help

assassinate the president? - That's right.

- Well, what's his name?

- I don't know. I just know he exists.

Well, how? I mean who's

giving you the information?

- I want one million dollars.

- What are you smoking, Walter?

- Now be serious.

- I'm dead serious.

I tell you this stuff, you roll these guys up,

they gonna know I'm the one.

- They'll hunt me down for the rest of my life.

- We'll put you in protective custody.

Yeah, and I'll be dead in a day.

Listen, you got a traitor in your organization.

- You get me the money, and I will disappear.

- I gotta be honest with you.

I find it pretty far-fetched we got agents

in on an assassination attempt.

Here. Maybe this will change

your mind, okay?

Call signs, code words,

today's encryption keys!

Yeah, whoever this traitor is,

they're either on the president's detail

or in a key liaison position.

Listen, I want a list of everyone

who's got "Q" clearance.

And where's the president right now?

Press conference at his house, 20 minutes.

This morning's action demonstrates

our continuing resolve

to take on the infrastructure of terrorism,

wherever we find it

anywhere around the globe.

How reliable is this guy Xavier?

I've built three counterfeiting cases
