Usman isn´t just a threat to his own people, he´s a threat to the US.
- Hassan Khan. - The plane bomber?
He was employed by CMC.
We have to assume Brydon knows.
Don´t even think about it.
Brocklehurst destroyed the evidence.
Eshan!
For God´s sake, Mark, we´re on the same side.
I can´t tell you what I think is going on.
If you don´t want to find yourself posted to Alaska, you probably don´t want to know.
What the hell is a triggered spark gap switch?
- How many are we talking about? - About 125.
What?
Where in Tampa?
I´ll call you back.
What´s MI6 telling the Prime Minister?
- They´re saying nothing. - For Christ´s sake, why not?
´Cause they won´t admit they´ve lost the switches?
6 can´t even whisper their suspicions.
The US Secretary of Defense using British mercenaries to ignite a war.
One leak, the fallout would be catastrophic. You gotta give Warner credit, it´s a genius plan.
She´s got us well and truly gagged.
It´s quite possible that this is duplicity on a grand scale,
and that we´re being deliberately mislead into committing ourselves to a war.
Absolutely, Prime Minister, I stand by that statement.
Well, at this stage, I´m not prepared to name names, but...
I suggest you push for more than one source of intelligence.
Because you better be absolutely certain that you have the grounds for war this time.
Fine. If I´m the lone voice, I can live with that. You could be guilty of deceiving the British public.
- Did you get that? - He´s not your concern.
- But you heard what he said. - I also heard what he didn´t say.
His hands are tied for Christ´s sakes.
We are in the home stretch here. We cannot risk another diplomatic incident.
- I can handle it. - Like you handled Florida?
And what happened in Florida?
A car wreck, literally.
- Two guys dead, one in hospital. - And our problem?
She´s alive,
if not kicking.
Dad. Daddy, let´s go play.
Yeah, I´ll be there in a minute, sweetheart, I´m on the phone, okay?
- I´ll get some people down there. - No. We´re doing the clean-up from now on.
- That wasn´t the arrangement. - Well, the arrangement´s changed.
Oh, now wait a minute, sunshine, I´ve got 50 million invested here.
First in after the troops, that´s the contract.
If you think you can edge me out of this, I´ll cut your balls off.
Tampa´s a bloodbath. I could be seriously exposed.
You? You piece of shit.
I´m on the frontline here.
I can´t wrap myself in the Stars and Stripes and flash my credentials.
I´m working without a parachute.
- Just calm down. I´m... - What? Covering my arse?
I don´t take orders from bum boys.
Come in.
Verdict?
If the US flag is to fly over the presidential palace in Karaz,
the Unión Jack should be flying alongside.
Sally?
I got Matthew Weiss, Washington Press, on line 1. He insists on talking with you personally.
No.
But if we absolutely have to go to war, let´s at least make sure we secure a good peace.
The key players need to be thinking about post-invasión.
I´m suggesting a round table tomorrow evening.
I´m sorry, Mark, but we´re really up to our eyeballs in pre-invasión over here.
We´re locking down equipment, protecting facilities and such.
Look, if we get this right, post-war Armitage could double its investment.
I need you there, Gordon.
- Gordon? - Okay, I´ll be there.
Thanks.
The IAEA are shitting bricks.
According to them, Usman´s reactors are capable of producing enriched uranium.
The fact that he´s also trying to buy switches for warheads is an alarming development.
I´ve spoken to the Prime Minister this morning.
He said our UN ambassador will be jointly submitting proposals
for Resolution 1767 on Tyrgyztan today. What are people in New York saying?
How can I help, Agent Blake?
Well, I am investigating the CMC Secure Operations chemical bust.
Mmm-hmm.
One of the suspects, David Ewan Tegner, is missing, presumed dead,
and the gun used to shoot him turned up yesterday
in a vehicle involved in a car crash in Tampa.
Local police informed me
that a man injured in the crash carries Defense Intelligence Agency ID,
but your department´s requested that his name be withheld.
Well, all I can say, Agent Blake, is there must be some very good reason.
That´s why I hope to clarify the situation before we interview him.
Sure.
I don´t want my investigation in conflict with a ongoing DÍA operation.
Well, thank you for liaising with us, Agent Blake. We will be handling this.
I´d appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
No problem.
Oh. I´d be very grateful if you´d forward me your case notes.
- Sure. - Great.
I´ve told the FCO that we´re looking at post-regime contingency strategy.
- We need a workable plan as soon as possible. - Unlike last time.
There´ll be a preliminary discussión at the Residence at 7:00 pm tomorrow.
Suggestions for participants on Sally´s desk before midday, please.
Sorry I´m late. We´ve had some rather bad news.
Jane Lavery, Human Rights, she´s been involved in a car crash in Tampa.
Tampa?
- Is she dead? - No, she´s in intensive care.
- Which hospital? - Mount Sinai Medical Centre.
Mark?
- Mark. - I´ll kill Styles.
- Wait. - I´ll kill that bastard.
You don´t know that it had anything to do with Styles.
- Okay, that´s it. - What are you gonna do?
- Confront her like I should have done. - I can´t let you.
Sod all to do with you.
They wouldn´t let you pass the Pentagon security gate.
You´re already on borrowed time, Mark. You lose Warner´s support,
Number 10 will have you out of this country, into a psychiatric wing.
How is that gonna help Jane? Seriously, think.
Is everything all right?
Yes.
Are you sure?
Yes. Thank you.
I think it would be better if we were to wait inside. Back in the room, please.
Let go now.
Let go.
What the hell was she doing in Tampa? I bought her a ticket to London.
- Let´s ring the hospital. - I´m going down there.
No. Yesterday somebody tried to kill you. We need a plan.
So what do we do? If we know she survived, so does Warner.
Can´t call the local police, they could be in her pocket.
Ask the hospital to provide security, say Jane´s suicidal.
Find out what car she was in. Was she being chased? Was she even driving?
If there´s any way we can trace this back to Warner...
What number, please?
Mount Sinai Medical Centre, Tampa, Florida, please.
Please hold.
- Did you say Florida, sir? - Yes. Tampa.
- Number or connection, sir? - Put me through, please.
You need a 24-hour guard. She´s a grave risk to herself and others.
I can´t emphasis the seriousness of this enough.
Yes. Of course, I´ll pay whatever it costs. Just, please, make sure she´s never left alone.
Would Dr Mason please call the ICU? Dr Mason, call the ICU.
Excuse me. Excuse me. Get a crash cart.
Feel like Deep Throat. Can I be Robert Redford?
You´ve been trying to reach me. Why?
You met with Karpinsky before Luke Gardner´s death.
Did you get the impressión Karpinsky was being leaned on?
I´ll take that as a yes.
See, I know that Warner, as CEO of Armitage, helped fund Karpinsky´s campaign for governor.
What I´m hearing now is Karpinsky is gonna make a run at Republican nomination.
His chief advocate...
...Lynne Warner.
I´m not wearing a wire.
Oh. Take it easy. I´m ticklish.
Jane Lavery´s in intensive care in Tampa.
- What? - Car crash.
As far as I know, there were three people in the car.
Two carrying UK passports died at the scene.
One, believed to be a US citizen, died this morning.
- Who was he? - That´s what I want you to find out.
Look, I´m very fond of Jane...
But?
I wouldn´t be doing my job as a reporter if I didn´t ask what I was getting out of all this.
You´d like to know why Warner wanted Luke dead, wouldn´t you?
When you get something, call me at the office. And be careful what you say.
There´s an intercept on the line.
- Hi. - Hi.
- Is Gordon here? - No.
Your father wasn´t smuggling nuclear switches.
- How do you know? - Trust me. Your dad was used.
Don´t let it go. Keep looking for anything that might clear his name.
Anything you find, anything at all, you bring straight to me, no one else. Okay?
- Yeah. What aren´t you telling me? - Things you can´t know.
It is clear these accusations are a deliberate attempt by the US
to blacken the name of this government and our people.
This is nothing more than an excuse for invasión. An infantile...
How soon can we get the airborne out of Afghanistan and into our bases in Tyrgyztan?
Transports can begin by 1200 EST.
That will be seen as deliberate provocation not only by Usman, but by the Security Council.
Usman is winding up the rhetoric,
either evacuation or, God forbid, engagement. We need those troops in place.
You´re the one escalating this.
I´ve seen no intel to say he actually has WMDs.
We´ve been dreading this nightmare since 1990,
a former Soviet satellite state with nuclear capability.
You delay, and you give the bastard time to assemble them.
Who knows where he´s gonna point his warheads? What, Pakistan? Iran? Us?
Are you taking us to war to save the worid?
Or is this about protecting US military and economic interests?
Because we´ve been down that road before, Lynne. Does your husband still have shares in Armitage?
That´s on the record, Carl.
Good. And I also want it on the record
that I have grave misgivings about your tactics, Madam Secretary.
General.
If we´re going to do this, ma´am, we need all the boots on the ground we can get.
Good.
And a viable exit strategy.
I think I found your mole.
Go on.
Car wreck, Tampa,
a DÍA agent working out of the Pentagon,
in his possessión a gun linked to the possible murder of David Ewan Tegner,
my suspect from the chemical bust.
- This agent, do you have a photograph? - No, not even a name.
I´m politely warned off by Undersecretary Styles. Then the DÍA agent suddenly dies of heart failure.
Also in the car, two CMC employees, and with them, Jane Lavery, British Embassy employee.
Jane´s not the mole, Agent Blake. The men were trying to kill her.
I´m... What?
They had already tried to kill both of us yesterday morning.
Shit. Why?
No, no, I don´t want to know.
Oh, God, I´m in a minefield.
You know, you´re right, I don´t want to wash up in Alaska,
but, Jesus Christ, this is bullshit.
If you can´t get at this through the Pentagon, why not try the back door?
The two Brits, CMC.
Ballistic evidence, linked to the missing suspect.
Is that enough for a warrant?
Maybe.
Mark.
I owe you an apology.
What for?
I don´t know, I just... I feel someone should say sorry.
Thank you.
Well?
We´ll see.
Here in Afghanistan, they´ve raised a serious concerns...
Sally Davis. Yes, of course. Thank you.
- He just went through... - Yeah, I´m perfectly aware...
- What the hell are you doing? - I have a warrant to search your offices
in connection with the suspected murder of David Ewan Tegner.
My lawyer will be here in approximately six minutes. He´ll use this to light his cigar.
I´d like you to open this safe, please, sir.
You´re crazy. There are documents pertaining to national security in there.
Drill it.
Are you a retard?
Get me Deputy Director Irvine now.
In an emergency sessión lasting into the night,
the UN Security Council unanimously passed Resolution 1767.
Under the terms of the resolution, President Usman
was given a deadline to implement immediate democratic reform
and allow UN weapons inspectors unfettered access to all nuclear facilities in Tyrgyztan.
Failure to comply by midnight on Tuesday the 25th,
- will result in appropriate military action. - I´ll call you back.
We´ve got 36 hours.
Just got this.
"Had a wonderful time here, must go back soon. Love Jane. "
- "Go back soon. " Where? - I don´t know.
What´s she trying to say?
- Have you been to a beach? - No, we´ve only...
Nice decor.
Been to the hotel. There was a picture like this on the wall.
- The Travellers Rest, 16th and H. - I´ll go.
- Room 1013. - I´ll be back in an hour.
- Mark. - Goodbye.
A battalion of US airborne flew into the Merghana base, Tyrgyztan, an hour ago.
Sat intel confirms that Usman is now surrounding both US airbases with missile batteries,
and is threatening to shoot down both incoming or outgoing aircraft.
- Well, he probably won´t hit anything. - He will. We sold him the hardware.
Shit. This could kick off before the deadline.
I´ve been told that most of the troop build-up
is to help plug the holes in Afghanistan left by the US military redeploying to the north.
Okay.
Passports.
Label that.
I am holding. I´ve been holding for five minutes.
Put away the evidence.
Keep that separate.
Okay, these two separated...
- Donald, thank God. - Speed it up.
Yes. She´s one of yours.
Well, there´s highly sensitive material.
Excellent. You tell her now.
- Special Agent Blake... - Box.
Agent Blake!
Unless you have evidence to directly link me to this murder investigation,
you must desist this search immediately.
Care to explain this to the Deputy Director?
Well, I´d advise your client not to leave Washington until we´ve had this tested.
Dr Davis, telephone, please.
Excuse me, miss. Do you know if the crash was reported in the local press?
Jane sent a package. It was waiting for you at the hotel.
On your knees. On your knees!
- Don´t! - Give me that. Now!
Eshan Borisvitch.
Tell me where your brother is.
I said, tell me where your brother is!
Did you know she´d made copies?
No.
Show me the next one.
- Name? - Ibrahim Wahid.
Where were you born?
Dagan, on the border of Kazakhstan.
- If I confront Warner with this... - She´ll deny it.
She´ll make sure the British are cut out of the planning,
the military campaign, the post-war reconstruction.
The UK government will lose all leverage and any influence in the future of Central Asia.
If I sit on them, the British, as key ally, will reap the spoils, post-regime.
- Something doesn´t add up. - How do you mean?
- You ever been over to Warner´s house to eat? - No.
It´s roast chicken and apple pie.
- Plain home cooking. - Yeah.
No bullshit, straight talking.
There is one way to use these tapes, make copies of it all.
Make the copies, Nicholas.
Sally, are Charles Macintyre and Christopher Styles on the guest list for this evening´s round table?
Well, flatter them, use all your charm, whatever you have to do,
make sure they get to the Residence.
When? Thanks.
There´s an emergency sessión in Congress at 8:00 pm.
The President´s asking them to vote for military action.
We´re running out of time, Nicholas.
Mr Walker? Hi, I´m Matthew Weiss, I´m with The Washington Press.
Okay. Let me ask you something. Did you take this picture of the crash?
Yeah, they paid me 200 bucks for that.
- Did you take any others? - I just may have.
- Yes? - I have Matthew Weiss on line 1.
Put it through.
- Sir Mark. - Mr Weiss.
A copy of the article. I´m sending it for your approval.
Thank you. I´ll get back to you later.
I need you to get the President to postpone his address to Congress until tomorrow.
- They can´t vote for war tonight, Carl. - How do you expect me to do that?
I´m totally out in the cold here.
The Security Council want this, the generals, Congress...
Get some rumours started. Suggest the intel is suspect.
Make Congress nervous. They won´t tolerate being misled again.
What have you got?
I need the vote postponed.
Please.
Mark...
Twelve hours, Carl. That´s all I´m asking.
Before any military action can be taken against President Usman´s government,
- both Houses have to return... - No, it´s not gonna fly.
Come in. I´ll call you back.
We have with us, Senator Ted Shriver.
- Madam Secretary. - What´s the feeling on the hill, Senator?
Obviously, no one wants to see this nation at war again so soon,
but Usman has guns pointing at US bases. He´s amassing nuclear capabilities.
I think the President will be addressing a Congress
that´s prepared to support him every step of the way.
The UN supports this action, so does the President.
Usman is not only a risk to this country,
he presents a clear and present danger to the whole worid.
Sadly, there is a price for being a superpower. We are in a position to do something, so we must.
James Sinclair came to see me 10 days ago, on the night of 14th.
We´re old mates from his days in Tyrgyztan. He was in a state, drunk, rambling incoherently.
He was covered in blood, and the knife you have was in his hand.
- Why didn´t you inform the police? - James begged me not to.
He said someone was trying to frame him, make it look as if he´d committed a murder.
- Murdered who? - I don´t know.
But I know James. He couldn´t have hurt a fly.
- So why didn´t you dispose of it? - I thought I should keep it safe, just in case.
When his body was found in the Potomac, I wondered if he had a guilty conscience.
Drink can do strange things to people.
So why didn´t you come forward with this?
Hasn´t that boy gone through enough without growing up thinking his father was a murderer?
Thank you very much, Colonel, for coming in and volunteering this.
We´ll be in touch.
Mark Brydon.
Did you tell them that I was suicidal?
Well, someone has to keep an eye on you. You obviously can´t be trusted.
Clearly, the nurse thinks I´m going to throttle myself with the phone cable.
Welcome back. How are you feeling?
Glad to be alive.
- The man that... - Same guy who chased us. I know.
You get the package?
Yes. You crazy woman.
Was any of it any use at all?
I hope so.
Get some rest. I´ll come down there as soon as I can.
I´m a mess, Mark.
- The doctors say it could take ages. - I spoke to them.
Soon as you´re fit to travel, you´re gonna come and stay at the Residence.
- Do I have a choice? - Do you want one?
No.
Come in.
I´ve got to go, I´m sorry. I´ll ring you in the morning.
I miss you.
Me, too.
Reports are coming in that the vote in Congress
to support military action against Tyrgyztan has been postponed.
We´re going live to our political correspondent Jeb Starkey.
Jeb, what can you tell us at this point?
It looks now as if the Senate Defense Committee wants to take a second look
at the intel on Tyrgyztan´s nuclear weapons programme.
Thank you, Carl.
Members are playing down significance of this saying it´s simply a matter of clarification. Bob.
Hi, Billy. Here you go. It´s okay, take a seat.
I read the statement you gave my officers regarding the homicide of Harriet Walton.
We know where you live, pal.
I don´t suppose for one minute you still have that $100 bill.
I had a good look at the paperwork, it all seems fine to me.
As agreed, 100 triggers immediately, the remaining 25 to follow.
I will need copies of the export licences.
... 100 triggers immediately, the remaining 25 to follow.
I will need copies of the export licences.
Thank you all very much for coming.
Let´s start with Gordon Adair of Armitage, who´s put together a plan for economic recovery.
Gordon.
We have a lot of material here and very little time, so I´m gonna boil it down for us.
My analysts predict that the 15.3º/% tax on Armitage net profit
will provide the new treasury of Tyrgyztan with approximately $1.6 billion per annum.
Now, we may be in for a bumpy ride, but I´d like you to know
that my company stands totally committed to this country.
Thanks, Gordon.
My concern is insurgents.
Allied military commitment on the ground can´t hope to protect industrial facilities from attack.
If you´re talking manpower, CMC provides security for several corporations over there.
But what about overstretch? You´re already plugging holes in Afghanistan.
I´ve got 1,000 Russian recruits,
ex-Spetsnaz and commandos at a training facility near Bratsk.
- That´s quite an investment. - Well, you have to stay ahead in this business.
Privatisation of war. It´s the new Klondike.
I thought...
Ladies and gentlemen, I suggest a short adjournment.
Madam Secretary.
If you´d like to move to the reception area, drinks and canapés will be served.
What the hell are you playing at?
Forgive me.
I expected better of you.
All right, you have something to say to me, you don´t send me some gilt-edged invitation,
you say it to my face.
Better still, these are for screening for Congress.
Hassan Khan being trained by CMC.
Oh, excuse me.
... a British security company?
Contracted by you, as CEO of Armitage, seven years ago.
Executing a massacre.
My name on a contract proves nothing. I was not responsible for their day-to-day operations.
We all played our part, Lynne.
Put Usman in power, keep him there whatever the cost, right?
So, what´s the cost now, to get rid of him? Innocent passengers on an airbus?
Anthony Hanley, Eshan Borisvitch, James Sinclair?
- What are you implying? - I´m saying...
the bombing of the plane, the chemicals, nuclear switches, Eshan´s assassination
were all designed to demonise Usman, to give the US cause for war.
You better be very careful where you step here.
Vincent Swain.
He served with your son in Afghanistan.
He carried Thomas eight miles on his back to the medical post.
He´s a fine soldier.
He was a trained killer, and loyal. Why else would Styles recruit him?
Swain tried to murder a colleague of mine.
He made an attempt on my life.
He was working for Defense Intelligence, your department.
Congratulations, Lynne. You nearly got your war.
We have ourselves a situation.
So, let´s have the truth here, shall we?
Fine.
We´ve both been used.
I need to know by whom.
Gordon Adair was director of Armitage´s Central Asian división seven years ago.
CMC answered to him.
With me. Now.
Vinny Swain was a simple soul.
He was a like dog Tommy used to have, never happier than following his master´s orders.
Loyal to his bones.
Who do you think he was working for, Christopher,
you or me?
It´s what you wanted, Usman gone. I did it for you.
God damn it, Christopher, you tarnished me with your filth.
What did Adair promise you?
Sometimes doing our duty requires us to make terrible sacrifices.
You said that at Tommy´s grave.
Don´t you dare utter his name. You´re not worthy to be shit on his shoe.
Pull over!
I wash my hands of you.
You´re going to hell, Christopher.
Mark Brydon.
Armitage headquarters is relocating to Tampa,
bringing billions of dollars and 100,000 new jobs.
Gordon Adair has Governor Karpinsky in his pocket.
They know Luke had a secret,
something from his days in Tyrgyztan that compromised Adair.
Adair leant on Karpinsky, Karpinsky leant on the board. All I need is the evidence.
Now, it´s your turn, Mark. Tell me why Adair wanted Luke dead.
I´ll call you back.
Hello?
Hi, Caroline, it´s Mark. I need to talk to you.
Mark, I was just about to ring you.
I went through Dad´s things, and I found something that doesn´t add up.
I need to check it with Gordon, but he´s not answering.
I spoke to Jennifer, she said he left early.
- Where are you now? - In Gordon´s office.
I want you to get out of there straightaway. All right?
Caroline?
Hello?
I told that shirt-lifter we should have finished Brydon.
Styles is a liability. Eliminate him, we´re watertight.
- Hello, Bart. - Good evening, sir.
Miss Hanley´s here. She´s waiting in your office.
Thank you.
- Are you here to gloat? - No.
- You´re here to kill me? - No.
- You think someone else is going to? - Macintyre.
He hates loose ends.
Is that what I am to you now? Bait?
Darling?
My dad videoed his meetings with Centas. Why´d he do that? That´s what spies do.
Maybe he thought he was being used.
How many switches were there?
- Sorry? - Well, you told the FBI.
125. That´s what the document said.
No, it didn´t. Only 100, it says so here.
I heard my dad on the film. He said he was shipping the other 25 later.
How did you know that the original order was for 125?
You know, I really don´t have time for this right now. We´re on the brink of a war.
Armitage.
Second wave in after the invasión, the lynchpin of the reconstruction.
Central Asia. Centas.
Hundred and twenty-five switches.
You set my father up.
You created Centas. You wanted those switches found.
She would have been terrific.
In Karaz. Me by her side.
We were great together.
Stupid bastard.
What have you taken? Christopher, what have you taken? Shit.
Can I help you, sir?
You´re a grieving daughter with paranoid delusions.
- You asked me to marry you. - Because I care for you.
You stay away from me.
Caroline, you´re not yourself.
Yes?
Send him up.
Your other boyfriend is here.
You know, he really should have taken you up on your offer.
You bugged my phone?
Not yours, his.
Hi, it´s Brocklehurst.
I need your help.
Welcome.
- You all right? - Yeah.
You could have worked together, you know. You and Eshan.
He was never going to be a US puppet.
How long do you think he would have lasted there with his velvet revolution?
One, maybe two years before the fundamentalists took over.
That´s why you slept with me, to get to Eshan, to get to my father?
Oh, he orchestrated the war, didn´t you? For what exactly?
- It was greed? - What, my greed?
You Brits are desperate for a piece of the pie, your Prime Minister, Warner,
the Russians, the Chinese. Hypocrites.
- They all saw what they wanted to see. - Did you kill my dad?
I´m sorry about your father, truly. He was a nice man.
But Armitage keeps this nation running,
and I couldn´t let Usman or Eshan screw that up.
You blew up a plane you fucking maniac.
When Mom is filling up her SUV with little Joey and Lucy in the back seat,
do you think she wonders for one nanosecond
how many people have died to keep her on the highway?
I maintain her comfort zone.
- I will see you rot in jail for mass murder. - This administration´s gonna allow that.
The CEO of one of the largest corporations in America testifying about a Pentagon black op.
Take her home, Mark.
- You psychopathic... - It´s okay.
- No, he can´t get away with it. - Let´s go. Let´s go.
Are we just gonna let him get away with this?
No.
I can´t clean this up by myself, George. It´s too big.
Okay. Here´s the story.
A witness to the murder of Harriet Walton,
a known prostitute, placed Macintyre at the scene.
My informant had in his possessión a $100 bill he claimed Macintyre handed him to keep quiet.
He hadn´t spent the bill for fear of being accused of theft.
Macintyre´s fingerprints were found on the note.
Undersecretary Christopher Styles called me to say that he had additional information linking
Charles Macintyre to the death of James Sinclair.
- Can you give me a hand here for a sec? - Sure.
I arrived at Styles´ apartment to find the door lock broken,
Styles mortally wounded,
and Macintyre and Nicholas Brocklehurst in a struggle. Hold him right there.
Macintyre was holding a firearm,
I drew my gun, I ordered him to drop his weapon, at which point he raised his gun in my direction.
I dropped to my knee...
Higher.
Thank you, George.
As the deadline for military action approaches,
there is still no sign that President Usman will agree to the terms of Resolution 1767.
The Pentagon has confirmed that long-range bombers are already airborne...
Hey.
... and armoured divisions have deployed along the Tyrgyztan border.
... most of the population are natural supporters of Iran,
and the ongoing conflict in Iraq and Afghanistan...
All the indications are that in a few hours´ time
this nation will once again be a war.
In a startling exclusive in The Washington Press,
Staff Writer Matthew Weiss accuses Florida Governor Jeff Karpinsky
and Armitage CEO Gordon Adair of conspiring to illegally execute deathrow prisoner Luke Gardner.
Weiss claims to have evidence from Gardner
linking Adair to a massacre in Tyrgyztan seven years ago.
If true, this will destroy any chance Karpinsky has in the primaries.
And with war in Tyrgyztan imminent,
urgent questions have to be asked about the Armitage Corporation´s role in this crisis.
If another US soldier sets foot on Tyrgyztan soil,
it will be an act of unprovoked aggressión.
He´s right. You´ve gotta stop this now.
You have every reason to want this man gone, Mark.
Be a shame, wouldn´t it? Waste the opportunity to be rid of him.
This war´s illegal, Lynne. Stand the planes down.
Or?
Or the press will get copies of Hassan Khan´s tape
and Luke Gardner´s letters before the first bomb falls.
The worid will know that a US corporation blew up that plane,
