ask a question. get an atlas.
respond, sure. but how?
and if we can't find out --?
guys, guys, the president lost a lot of friends last night --
-- and his plane lands in two hours. we owe it to him to have a consensus.
general?
but hypothetically.  how long would it take you to --
i understand that, general. let us imagine, though, for a moment, that the order has been given.
i know what the president will say.
that's exactly why you're the only man for the job.
and that is --?
thank you, agent hubbard. i, too, think we should proceed cautiously. now we've got an agency briefing prepared.  some of you may not know sharon bridger. sharon was posted in iraq as part of our covert operations during the gulf war. -- sharon.
and cell #3? how do we find cell #3?
the fbi received another fax.
do we? have him?
i remember perfectly well what you said last time. do we?
i am speaking for the president.
general, do you know that after yesterday's attack, half the parents in this country kept their children out of school --? . they're attacking our way of life. it's got to stop. and the president cannot afford to be weak.
i'm saying, the president is prepared to be.  presidential.
c'mon in, we're still trying to get the last one down.
the president wants this shit over with. there's only one way to do that. let the sheik go.
you think our government operates as a single coherent entity? devereaux just.  pushed the agenda. of course the president was completely unaware of it.
now we can't just let him go. america has to stand tall in the world yadda yadda yadda. so what we do is.  we let the american justice system do its work.
i'll be right up, darling.
you have kids? they're great. sometimes you just want to.  drug them.
we don't release him. a judge releases him. you're an fbi man. that's what judges are good at, right? it's not like we've gone after him in proper prosectorial fashion. kidnaping him. holding him in isolation. "fruit of the poisoned tree" -- remember that one from law school? oh, we'll have a big trial. everybody'll get their rocks off.  but the fact is -- -- the sheik will walk.
and this whole episode becomes nothing more than the news cycle before the next news cycle.
documentary evidence of devereaux's whole operation.
because you'll know what to do with it.
who?
ask her.
