XIII: The Conspiracy Page #5

Synopsis: The first female US President Sally Sheridan is shot dead by a sniper during her Veterans Day speech. Her assassin narrowly escapes the scene with his life, national security hot on his heels - or so it seems. Three months later, an elderly couple discover the body of a wounded man in a tree, wearing a parachute. The young man (Dorff) cannot remember the slightest thing about his own identity. The only clue is a tattoo on his neck, "XIII". Meanwhile, in the Whitehouse, government intelligence is still conducting the search for the President's killer. With the elections just weeks away, a confirmed suspect could swing the vote for the administration. Hours after XIII's location is picked up by covert intelligence, elite special ops forces are swarming the couple's house in Cape Fear. Running on adrenaline and instinct, XIII tactically takes out the soldiers one by one. On the run, clinging to one desperate clue after another, XIII begins to piece back his life, fragments of his memory r

The shooter is collateral.

Take him out.

Abe.

Abe.

Shoot to kill.

We're supposed to take him alive.

No.

He's not coming out of there alive.

I think he's made that clear.

Give me the phone.

Clean the place up and torch it.

Is it done?

We lost him.

Lost him how?

He fought back.

That's unacceptable.

Well, if you'd waited for me

he'd be dead now

and we wouldn't be

having this conversation.

You understand something.

This will be done my way.

Now find him.

I believe that there's a connection

between the assassination

and the tunnel bombing.

How so?

The McCarran Airport Tunnel

is the third attack

since the assassination.

On the days leading up to

all of these strikes

there hasn't been any of

the typical chatter.

Now a handful of fringe cells

have claimed responsibility,

but nothing that's credible.

None of the big players have

taken credit and that concerns me.

So what are you thinking?

T o kill the President of

the United States

is the ultimate endgame for these people

yet none of them are coming forward.

Also they are smart enough to understand

that it is better for them to have a dove

like Sally Sheridan in the White House

than a hawk like her brother, Wally.

Why would they open the door for

a hardliner to win the presidency?

Are you suggesting this is domestic?

The assassination happened a few months

before the primaries.

Now we are in the thick of an election

and American people are being

targeted on American soil.

Whoever took out Sally Sheridan

is trying to influence the vote.

Get their guy in office.

You saw the photo.

The shooter was not foreign.

I suggest you follow your instinct.

But tread carefully.

If we start pointing fingers

at Americans

and we're wrong, God help us.

I know I'm late. Sorry.

Hey, would you mind?

Yeah, sure.

Life in the city, huh?

I guess.

You're not from around here.

Oh, jeeze.

Sam!

What you change the locks

and I'll just disappear?

Best idea.

We need to talk.

We're done talking.

I don't think so.

Hey, she said she didn't want to talk.

Get lost.

Look, just give me five minutes.

Forget it.

You got caught with your hand

in the cookie jar.

We are through.

She's gone, Sam.

It's over.

Okay?

Hey, I mean it this time.

Let go of the door, please.

No.

Not until you hear

what I have to say.

Hey! She said she already heard.

You still here?

I think I told you to get lost!

Aaah! My arm.

See a doctor.

It's probably going to swell.

Screw you.

Sorry.

Don't be. You just made my day.

Come on.

Whatever you need it's on the house.

Name is Sam.

Hey, Sam. Nice to meet you.

You going to tell me your name?

It's not a trick question.

No, I know, but...
