White House Down Page #4

You're Deputy Special Agent Finnerty?

Oh, you're Jenna's favour.

This is Emily.

This is Em, my daughter.

My father is a very special man.

It's nice to meet you.

I paid her to say that.

- Let's get started.

- Okay.

I don't know. Just...

Sorry, I gotta ask.

You didn't marry Jim Finnerty

from Sigma Chi, did you?

- That guy was--

- An a**hole. Yes, he was.

This is my colleague,

Special Agent Todd.

Standard Secret Service

protocol requires...

...a two-agent review for every interview.

You're not to look at Agent Todd.

- I'm sorry, I just looked at him.

- You're only to look at me.

So we just-- Okay.

The subject is John Cale.

Born 1980,

grew up in the District of Columbia...

...graduated Hill High in 1999.

Looks like you've bounced

from job to job.

Mechanic, limo driver, construction.

Is my credit score in there?

Yes, and you should be ashamed

of yourself.

It's a recession, okay?

Married Melanie Schopp in 2002...

...and had a child six months later.

Filed for divorce in 2005.

So you did three tours

in Afghanistan...

...and you were wounded

in the Kunar province.

- Yes, ma'am.

- You received a Silver Star...

...for pulling a Corporal Dawson

from a burning Humvee?

There was an IED attack.

Humvee flipped, we were taking fire,

so I grabbed him.

- Why?

- I was a little concerned...

...that he was getting

a little too warm in there.

It's funny to me, you still think glib

is the way to go here.

Corporal Dawson is the nephew

of the speaker of the house...

...and when you were discharged

a year ago...

...he got you a job

with the Capitol Police.

Actually, on his protection detail.

If Special Agent Todd

keeps making those sounds...

...I'm gonna start looking at him.

- Will you give us a second, please, Ryan?

John, why do you want to be

in the Secret Service?

I can't think of a more important job

than protecting the president.

Okay, this job requires

a university degree.

You dropped out of GW

after our first semester there.

- You don't finish things.

- Check the file, Carol.

Two years in college night school.

A certificate of graduation

should be in there.

Great.

Yeah, John, you barely maintained

a C average.

I'm sorry, I didn't have

our little study sessions...

...like we used to back in the day,

did I?

Evaluations from your senior officers:

"Cale frequently does not complete

his field reports on time."

Nothing to do

with protecting someone.

"Sergeant Cale demonstrates

a lack of respect for authority.

Sergeant Cale has raw potential

but seems determined not to realise it."

You can keep reading that.

That is not me anymore.

I'm not the kid

you used to know in college.
