31. I got two problems in my life right now, JJ. I need to make sure
every man and woman in this country can vote freely and I
need a new god damn pair of pants.
32. Think the Secret Service
can help me out with
either of those?
We’ll see what we can do,
Mr. President.
33. There’s some trouble out in Pennsylvania. Western
Pennsylvania. Some kind of civil unrest I guess you could call it.
Whatever it is it doesn’t sound good.
35. Well, I’m not so sure about that. I just met with Hoover’s
boys and the CIA director. They think it’s militant types.
Black militants. Stirring up some sh*t. Startin’race riots. When
the CIA and FBI agree on something it’s time to
invest in petroleum jelly.
36. I know the area. Kennedy and I campaigned out there in ’60. It
ain’t Newark or Watts. Can’t be more than a handful of coloreds
in the whole god damn county so that dog don’t hunt.
37. Then I get this. NSA just dropped it off. Transcripts from
emergency services communications out there and local radio
broadcasts.
38. I quote,“There is an epidemic of mass murder being
committed by a virtual army of unidentified assassins.”It
goes on. They’re saying over a hundred dead. A HUNDRED. It’s
just down right unbelievable.
39. Sir… I’m not sure I
understand?
Neither do I, JJ, and that’s not
acceptable to a man who
sits in this seat.
40. Governor out there is some Republican asshole.
Told me it’s a state matter and he’s calling up the guard to
make sure the situation is under control.
41. Of course,
Mr. President.
I’ll put my
best men on
it.
What I want from you is to peel off a couple
of agents and have them get their asses out
to Evans County and find out what the f*ck
IS going on out there. FBI is going to
investigate but frankly I don’t trust any of
them. I want the unedited version.
42. Due respect, JJ let’s not get carried away. My
predecessor had his head turned inside out by a high
powered rifle. Let’s keep the best men right where they are for
now. I just need someone steady. Someone that YOU trust.
Preferably not family men.
64. Ah, Pensacola, sir. Florida.
Right. As of today, you two are on temporary duty.
65. You’re going to a little town outside of Pittsburgh. We’ve had
some… interesting reports coming out of the area. Civil unrest
type stuff. Normally this is local law enforcement’s problem
but the President is giving a speech at a Rotary club out there
next month so we’re going to look into it.
67. Yes, that’s right. This is sensitive, boys. You’ll brief me by phone
once you arrive and then I brief the President. Understood?
68. Uh, sensitive sir? I
don’t understand-
I’m offering you a chance to
get out of the motor pool, unless you’d
like farting into the same office chair for
the next twenty years?
73. Clancy, I’m going out on a limb here by taking you off the shelf.
Don’t make an a**hole out of me on this. Agent Stuart, the
next time I see you those sideburns better be gone. This ain’t a
god damn f*cking hockey club.
82. There’s not a whole lot in here. Some transcripts from local
radio stations. Stuff about random violent episodes.
Random murders? A lot of redacted sh*t too.
83. I guess we’re
going to fill in
the blanks.
“A virtual army of unidentified assassins.”
Can’t say I like the sound of that.
85. Well, when we get there, you let me talk to these
people, okay? I speak the language if you know what I
mean. You might rub them the wrong way.
Jesus, I’ll get rid of the sideburns when we get back,
all right? That figures.
104. It looks like you guys have been out here for a while.
I can appreciate that.
105. We been here for hours, ya know?
Your partner is a little out of line to cuss me in front of my boy.
106. My partner is usually a sweetheart. He’s very sorry. We just
need to find the honcho around here and ask him some
questions.
107. Chief McClelland. Probably catch him at the station. It’s
five miles down this road here. Take that until you hit
Poplar then bear left on Old Mill Road. After that you
pick up 22 South. Take you right into town.
Fantastic. We’ll tell McClelland you guys need some
relief when we see him.
