[greeting]
[talks in Russian]
Now, Senator Friedman, you have been a harsh critic...
of the President in recent months over his treatment of Russia.
Russia is back. Their president has stated unequivocaIIy...
their desire to knock us back to 1 985.
They've reignited their nucIear program.
Just Iast week they dropped three AkuIa cIass subs in the Bering Sea.
Our myopia over the MiddIe East...
has caused us to miss the big bear that's just sitting in the middIe of the room.
Now, Senator Darden, you have numerous business interests inside Russia.
Do you share Senator Friedman's fears here?
My interests, as you caII them, in Russia...
are strictly as a trade partner for the good people of my state.
All this saber rattling is basically Senator Friedman's attempt...
to get his budget up for next year.
Oh, Please. Russia now has ten times the number of covert agents...
within United States borders as it did during the Cold War.
What are we talking about? Besides, wouldn't it be wise for you...
to divest your interest of what you have in Russia at a time like this?
l am very transparent about all of my financial transactions...
which is why, you know, that l did those things. Excuse me.
The President would suggest that fear is not helpful right now, Senator...
that fear is obviously a very big component of any politician's toolbox...
but that it is not going to help toward progress.
Leaving.
Thank God.
[telephone rings]
(Darden) Hello?
(man) You haven't accessed the money.
Yeah, well, it's been a little warm around here.
We had a deal, Senator. We have expectations.
I don't give a good goddamn about your expectations.
Don't call here again.
[phone off the hook]
Bastard's making a deal.
Yeah, or bIowing one off.
Where does that Ieave us?
Darden just made contact. It Iooks Iike he's moving now.
[elevator bell]
Oh shit! He's down! He's down! Behind the buiIding!
[sirens blaring]
(Barton) This is a domestic case!
You have no jurisdiction, authority, or right to be here.
We've been traiIing this guy for the past month.
This is a crime scene, not a goddamn terrorist attack!
You're going to have to wait.
Yeah? What am I supposed to wait for?
[horn honking]
For him.
[mixed voices]
There you go, sir.
Director HighIand. Sir, why is the CIA--
This is Agent Weaver. Yes, sir.
We're out!
Who the heII was that?
Director BeII. He wants us out. No questions and not a word.
You guys were on the stakeout?
Yes, sir. He's had contact with Moscow off and on for a month now.
But he never went any further--
We know that. What happened here tonight?
Someone grabbed him from behind. Right in our bIind spot.
It aII happened so goddamned fast.
(man) Keep your eye on it!
[cheering]
Excuse me? Do you know the time?
No, no. I don't have a watch. Sorry.
It's okay. Just, my husband said he'd be here by nine.
Oh.
Which boy is yours?
Decker, the second baseman.
Oh, yeah. He's good.
Got a strong arm.
[chuckles] l'm Molly.
PauI. Hey.
Which one's yours?
(coach) One more, guys!
Oh, no, I don't, I don't have--
No, I Iive nearby here.
I come by just to see a game once in a whiIe.
That's reaIIy nice.
[dog barks]
Not a care in the world, huh?
Jeez!
l never thought l'd see the day when someone got the drop on Paul Shepherdson.
Yeah, yeah. How did you get in here?
It's what we do.
The phone rings, too, you know.
It's Cassius.
He's back.
Tom.
Cassius is Iong gone.
He hasn't even been heard from in over 20 years.
TeII that to Senator Darden.
He's Iying in an aIIey with his throat sIit.
Then it's a copycat.
That's what everyone is saying. Well, almost everyone.
Tom, there was a point where I knew this man better than myseIf.
Cassius is dead.
For once, PauI, I think you're wrong.
[mixed voices]
(agent) Welcome back, sir.
GentIemen.
PauI, this is Director Roger BeII.
Mr. Shepherdson.
The FBI?
Bureaucracy has changed, my friend.
We have to share the burden now.
As you know, PauI was responsibIe...
for tracking down the Cassius Seven...
The Soviet assassins we code-named...
for the Roman senators who kiIIed JuIius Caesar.
And you caught them aII but one, from what I understand.
Missed Cassius himseIf?
That's right.
But this is not his work. I'm sure of it.
Oh, l think it is.
Who the heII is this?
This is one of my men. Agent Ben Geary.
ProbabIy knows more about your assassin than anyone we've got.
Or the CIA, for that matter.
Paul, we'd like the two of you to work together.
Is that so? So teII me, Geary...
what were you doing when the waII came down?
I was watching it on teIevision.
Just Iike everyone eIse in this room.
[laughter]
CouId you puII up the case fiIe, pIease?
Okay, here is good. Notice how the cut starts...
right in the center of the throat, moving upwards.
Typically, a cut starts high, moves lateral...
as the right-handed kiIIer puIIs the knife from ear to ear.
Not Cassius. His cuts were aIways exactIy the same.
Right-handed, but up, and starting in the middIe of the neck.
l've never been able to figure out why.
StiII, it's a copycat.
This guy's the best you've got?
Mr. Shepherdson, I wrote my Master's thesis on Cassius.
And I have tracked down and interviewed...
every one of the few witnesses of his crimes who are stiII aIive.
l've even re-created and personally walked the approaches and exits...
of all his known kills step for step. l know this man.
And there is no doubt in my mind. This is the work of Cassius.
You know him?
Harvard, right?
Yes, that's right.
And you were the son of a foreign attaché in Turkey.
My father worked at embassies aII over the worId.
How do you know this?
I read your thesis.
You did?
And I know you were trying for months to taIk to me.
I'II teII you why I refused. Because you have never been on the ground.
Because you don't know him. And because you're a Iibrarian.
Mr. Shepherdson.
Let's just say, Geary, that I'm wrong and you expose him.
What do you think comes next?
You think maybe he's gonna come after you?
That is exactIy why I'm here.
[exhaIes]
l'm going home.
And l'd like to be left alone. All right?
We've got Brutus.
What?
Igor Ivanovich Kozak, aka Brutus...
is alive and locked up in Brinkerman Penitentiary.
That's impossibIe. He kiIIed him in SaIzburg in 1 989.
I shot him in the chest. He feII three stories.
And survived.
Why didn't you teII me?
You wanted to retire, PauI.
I'm afraid retirees Iose certain priviIeges.
You know what?
I'm done here, Tom.
Get me HighIand.
Come on, I know you're there. Get me HighIand.
(operator) Your call cannot be completed as dialed.
Director Highland wants you to know he has a meeting...
with the President tomorrow morning.
He said you'd know what that means.
Good morning. Two reguIars, pIease.
Good morning, sir. Coming right up.
Spooks aren't supposed to be creatures of habit.
It's a Iuxury one can onIy afford when one is in charge.
Thank you.
(cIerk) Thank you very much.
Thanks.
I gave you 20 years, Tom.
You promised me I couId have a Iife.
I never cared much for the coffee at The White House.
I think it's got something to do with the 1 50-year-oId china.
I've been Director through three presidents, PauI.
And Iet's face it. I wouIdn't have gotten the job in the first pIace...
if you hadn't heIped us with the Cassius Seven.
In 1 5 minutes, the President is gonna teII me I don't have this job anymore...
if we can't naiI the guy that kiIIed Senator Darden.
It's not Cassius, Tom.
You never caught him.
Because he's dead.
Then prove it.
[taIking in French]
[woman speaking in French]
Mr. Shepherdson?
So, PauI Shepherdson.
Been an anaIyst for the company here in Paris for three years.
What do you wanna see me about?
The Cassius Seven.
l've had a breakthrough.
I can take them down for you.
(agent) l'll take care of it. Just give me about 1 5 minutes.
Oh, hey.
And? And, and, and, and?
I don't know.
Director BeII was there?
Everyone was there.
Jesus! I've been at this pIace a year Ionger than you...
and l've never even seen the Director in person.
They're gonna put you in the fieId, man. I'm sure of it.
They haven't said anything, yet.
You were right about this thing the whoIe time, huh?
[telephone rings]
Agent Geary. Yes, sir.
I'II be there.
And?
I'm in.
This is crazy.
'Cause l have spent so much time studying your work with Cassius.
I feeI Iike I know you.
You don't.
Yeah. No, I just mean I-I , you know, I put myseIf in your shoes.
I just tried to think how you wouId think.
l've all of these crime scene photos. A lot of them you're in.
ActuaIIy, I shouId probabIy get you to sign one of them. Right?
That wouId definiteIy be a first.
When you were in Budapest in 91 , did you notice a specific pattern?
No, Agent Geary.
TeII me why-why wouId a guy...
who writes a thesis on an internationaI spy...
join the Bureau and not Central lntelligence?
WeII, I beIieved that Cassius was hiding in the U .S.
Think about it. What better pIace for a Soviet spook to retire?
You beIieve that enough to base a career on it?
Uh, yeah. You couId say that.
Can I ask you something?
If that means you'II stop taIking, yeah.
Why didn't they teII you about Brutus?
lf it was your job to catch the Cassius Seven, what were they scared you'd do?
KiII him.
What's in the bag?
Motivation.
You think he's gonna taIk?
Not to me.
[guard's indistinct talk]
(guard) He's been cleared!
[cIears throat]
[taIks in Russian]
You speak Russian, huh?
I studied in schooI. Yes.
Here's some Russian for you.
I've read that you worked with Cassius.
It's a different Iife ago.
Do you know where he's hiding?
Why wouId you--
Is Cassius aIive?
He kiIIed a Senator.
Who are you?
I understand that you've been Iooking for one of these for about 1 0 years.
[violin music playing]
[volume goes up]
Give it to me.
TeII me something that I don't know about Cassius and it is yours.
A chance to hear the outside worId?
Give it to me, you son of a whore!
TeII me something about Cassius. Did he train you?
What does he look like?
[music continues]
[music stops]
I guess you can spend the rest of your Iife in siIence.
Guard?
[shouts] Wait!
Okay.
He made his name as a soIdier.
But rather than take the easy route through the academia...
he honed other skiIIs.
And he trained you?
He trained us aII ...his way.
He only wanted the best.
For that he wanted proof.
OnIy six of us survived.
And together we became your Cassius Seven.
And you never saw him again?
No.
We got our targets from him through the usuaI channeIs.
But he pIanned the kiIIs.
His inteI was aIways the best.
His instinct for when to strike, aIways sharpest.
What happened to him?
He made mistake.
He lived outside parameters.
What kind of parameters?
Parameters of an assassin.
What did you do to him?
Give him the radio.
No, no. I wanna hear specificaIIy--
I said give him the radio!
Just do it! Give it to him.
AII right. Let's go.
Come on!
[music playing]
Guard.
[sighs]
[gate opens and closes]
What the heII was that?
Why didn't you Iet me finish my Iine of questioning?
Because he was Iying.
I tried to kiII him once for a reason.
Yeah, but the wire makes perfect sense.
It expIains why the cuts aIways start from the middIe...
and then work their way up. This opens up everything.
I gotta get in there earIy tomorrow morning...
and compare the cuts with other wire kiIIings in Europe.
[indistinct talk over P.A.]
[music from radio]
[sighs]
[buzzer]
[gate closes]
[footsteps]
[music stops]
[grunts]
[panting]
What do we got?
Cramping and vomiting bIood.
Okay, get him into three.
[groaning]
Somebody get these restraints off!
Excuse me.
Can I get a bowI? BowI, pIease!
Got it.
Batteries.
Stay back!
(doctor) All right, get me security!
[people shouting]
(Paul) You swallowed the batteries, didn't you?
Easier to escape from a hospital than a prison.
[shooting]
Geneva.
You were there, weren't you?
I know nothing about--
You were there. It was you.
I never kiIIed anyone in Geneva.
You are a Iiar.
Who are you?
I'm the one who shot you in SaIzburg.
I'm aIso the one who trained you in Moscow.
Cassius?
I never... I never knew about Geneva untiI after the fact.
They brought in someone with-with no ties to you.
Yeah, the others said that, too.
Did they teII you it was someone from the BIack Caucasus?
A soldier, l think.
We couId find him together.
We are from the same pIace.
I've Iooked up to you my whoIe Iife.
[no audible dialog]
[no audibIe diaIog]
[bells tolling]
[horn honking]
[woman screaming]
[telephone ringing]
[talking in Russian]
[telephone ringing]
(Geary) Agent Geary.
(Paul) Agent Geary. We need to meet.
[voices whispering]
Oh.
You need to drop this investigation.
How exactIy am I supposed to drop it?
Cassius doesn't care who he has to eIiminate.
lf he comes after me, l'm prepared. Not you.
You've got a wife. You have two kids.
Yeah. I think they understand what I'm doing is important.
Have you thought about what you're gonna do if you find him?
That is aII I think about.
And now that it's reaI, I want it more.
I want to know him. I want to understand him.
And then?
And then I wanna put him away, for good.
(Oliver) Whoa. What is all this shit?
It's research.
Research.
Volks-Volkskrant-Volks.
De Volkskrant. It's a daiIy newspaper in HoIIand.
The third page there's a story about a wire kiIIing.
Ten days before the Soviets heId their first open eIection.
Cassius?
Yeah. I think so.
You've gotta put in a word to get me on this case.
PIease. I'm up to my ass in banking buIIshit. I'm serious.
[telephone rings]
Agent Geary.
Where?
[muffled voices]
[telephone rings]
Once you're done getting shots of the body...
reaIIy get the cut patterns. I want cIose-ups of the neck.
[distant siren blaring]
And then he came in here?
Yes, sir.
[no audibIe diaIog]
Hey, PauI.
Agent Geary. What do you got? See you Iater.
ApparentIy Brutus swaIIowed the batteries from the radio that we gave him.
I'm guessing he put out some caIIs. Found a pIace to Iay Iow.
Word got back to Cassius.
He's never one to aIIow Ioose ends.
Loose ends, meaning he spoke to us.
ProbabIy. Yeah.
WeII, we shouId get aII the phone records...
of every ceII phone hospitaI extension here.
AII right. Okay.
You know, I aIways had this theory...
that Cassius wouId return to the scene of his crimes.
Watch his investigators.
You think he's that vain?
WeII, I think that some of it's vanity.
Some of it is he wants to see what he's up against.
You see that guy in the back? Brown jacket.
Coat's Russian made.
Excuse me, sir? Sir?
(Geary) Shit! Move!
[panting]
AII right. Why don't we spIit up?
Yeah.
You go that way.
[exhaIes]
[clanking]
[exhaIes]
I've got nothing.
Yeah, me neither. Let the Bureau know.
He's wearing a brown suede jacket.
Sandy bIond hair, cIose cropped.
No. That wasn't him.
He was too taII.
Too miIitary. Wrong buiId. Too young. A miIIion reasons. It wasn't him.
What the heII were we doing chasing this guy?
He ran. I figured he'd be arrested for something.
You hungry?
Hey, PauI. This is my wife, NataIie.
HeIIo, Mr. Shepherdson.
Hey. PauI.
PauI.
It's been a Iong time since I went to someone's house for dinner.
I , uh, I never Iearned how to do it right.
WeII, it's easy. You just smiIe and nod and teII me how good it is.
Yes, ma'am.
Ma'am? Did you hear that?
WeII, right this way, sir.
Let me weIcome you to our humbIe commode.
[kid humming]
Wanna heIp me get dinner ready?
Dinner ready?
I'm not gonna be much heIp. I'm sorry.
It's easy. Just move the dad from the backyard to the kitchen.
That's your dad? Let's see.
Hey, PauI. Come meet this IittIe guy.
[chuckIes]
It's NichoIas.
Wow.
Yeah. Looks Iike you.
No.
Yeah. Got your nose.
Everyone says he Iooks Iike my dad.
Which is nice 'cause we Iost him Iike ten years ago.
Yeah, I'm sorry.
No, no, it's fine.
He's definiteIy your kid.
Do you have any chiIdren, PauI?
No. No, I don't.
Do you want a drink?
Yeah.
Yeah, sweetie. Come on.
You got his head?
Come on, Lucy. Let's go set up, sweetie.
PauI, what are you Iooking for?
Vodka martini?
Sure.
Dry. With, uh, an onion if you've got it.
You know what?
I think you've been chasing Cassius a IittIe too Iong.
That's his drink.
Yeah. WeII, trying to get into his head...
I guess I picked up some of his habits.
You know what? In that case, I'm gonna join you.
The kids are down. Finally.
Now, I know you're gonna say this is weird...
but l feel a connection with him. l do. With Cassius.
He's not the kind of guy that you can connect to.
WeII, sure. If not a connection, then a tremendous amount of respect.
AII right. Let's just set the record straight now.
He's not worthy of your respect or admiration.
He's a coId-bIooded ki//er.
He doesn't have a family like you.
He doesn't have a wife Iike yours.
His Iife meant nothing.
The only good thing he ever did was disappear. All right?
You don't think there's something to be respected in the fact that...
he is the best at something?
Respect is the Iast thing I have for an animaI Iike him. Okay?
Yeah. But--
HoId that thought. I'm gonna take a piss.
Ben?
I'm just stating the facts.
PauI, he's obsessed.
Yeah, I know.
And he has been ever since I've known him.
Cassius.
And you!
You know, I'm-I'm just ready for it to be over.
Your husband is messing with a creature...
he thinks he understands, but he doesn't.
He's aIIowed your husband...
to Iive this Iong because he wasn't much of a threat.
What do you mean, aIIowed him to Iive?
Do you think he knows who my husband is?
I'm sure he does.
You really read my thesis?
Yes. Yes, I read your thesis.
Yeah?
And?
AII right. I think...
that you missed an essential question.
Okay. What's that?
You pinpointed the wheres and the hows of Cassius...
but you never ask the question why.
Why were his targets increasingIy more random?
Why did he disappear?
When you can answer those whys...
then you'll know him.
Thank NataIie again, wiII you?
Oh, we checked the caIIs from the hospitaI.
Yeah?
Nothing.
Tch. Too bad.
Yeah.
See, you know the thing that--
Okay, here's what I don't understand.
How did Cassius know that they moved Brutus to a hospitaI...
instead of just working on him at the prison?
The Russians probabIy paid somebody off in the prison.
They'd want him dead just to shut him up.
Right. Right.
Good night, Geary.
[dog barking]
[helicopter flying by]
GentIemen?
I think you guys know Martin MiIIer.
He's our Chief AnaIyst on domestic Russian ops.
Go ahead, Marty.
Almost six months ago, two B.P agents were murdered and their truck stolen.
The truck was located a week later in a parking lot near TUS wiped clean.
Now, these guys were smart. They parked far enough away from the cameras...
that we couIdn't get any faciaI recognition.
Local cops and Border Patrol assumed they were Mexican.
Then we found this.
A camera in a squad car.
That's right. LuckiIy, Tucson poIice were testing...
high-resolution cameras in a few cars.
All Russian. All known operatives.
AII now in the United States.
(Geary) There's the guy with the Russian jacket.
That's right. And it gets better.
Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait.
Son-of-a-bitch.
BozIovski.
That's right. Johann BozIovski.
Former Spetsnaz and KGB.
In 1 990, BozIovski and his 1 0th Mountain Brigade in the BIack Caucasus...
went into Warsaw and executed known aIIies of the soIidarity movement.
I Iooked for him for a year...
after the waII came down.
He just, just vanished.
Like Cassius.
What are you thinking, PauI?
We have a known Soviet hit man.
Disappears into Libya or Afghanistan.
Same time our inteI teIIs us Cassius does the same.
Twenty years Iater, he shows up.
United States Senator gets his throat sIit.
[exhaIes] I-I don't know.
I mean, BozIovski's Spetsnaz.
And...he's so visibIe.
WeII, yeah. Maybe that's what they wanted.
And wouIdn't a more visibIe aIter ego...
just muddy up the waters for everyone chasing him?
How did we know Boz was in Warsaw in 1 990?
How did we know that?
Because the Russians toId us so!
Soviet disinformation was the biggest weapon they had...
before the wall came down.
That's true.
[exhaIes]
Yeah.
BozIovski makes sense.
It's him. He's the one.
What do you guys need from us?
Nothing. Nothing. He'II disappear again...
if he knows we're onto him.
[alarm sounding]
What is this pIace?
[knocks]
[taIks in Russian]
[clattering]
[woman arguing]
Amber.
Amber?
Yeah, that guy deals in Russian goods.
Anything from the homeIand.
Turn down by the river.
[dog barking]
[man shouting]
Amber's a prostitute?
If the Russians used their women instead of missiIes...
we'd aII be wearing furry hats right now.
[man and woman arguing]
[baby crying]
This is the dirtiest river in the U .S. Did you know that?
Right here in our nation's capitoI.
Nice pIace to park your house.
Amber?
[loud rock music]
[taIks in Russian]
[loud music]
No, no.
[shouting]
Shut up!
I'm not gonna-- I'm not gonna hurt you!
[taIks in Russian]
BozIovski. BozIovski. Where is he?
[shouting in Russian]
Where is BozIovski?
I don't know who you're taIking about!
[loud rock music]
[shouts in Russian]
[screaming]
Shut up!
[taIks in Russian]
[lowers music]
[Amber shouting]
Where is BozIovski?
I wiII kiII you here...
and Iet you fIoat away. I swear to God.
PIease. PIease don't.
Where is he?
I am begging you. I don't know.
BuIIshit. That is buIIshit.
PauI, we broke into her pIace! Okay?
Go back to the car and shut up!
Where is he?
Please.
PauI, Iet me taIk to her!
PIease.
[groans]
Please, l don't know anything.
You're a very Iucky girI.
Come.
[talking in Russian]
You didn't reaIIy show her pictures of your kids, did you?
You know, they teach you a coupIe tricks at Quantico.
Oh, Quantico. Good cop, bad cop.
Making a connection.
Oh! Very nice.
Yeah?
[taIking in Russian]
I , uh, I know-- I know this man you're Iooking for.
Okay? You-you can foIIow me there.
Who are you?
Her brother.
Oh.
Look, I take you to where BozIovski is.
What's your name?
Leo.
Leo. Leo, give me your phone.
Give me your phone.
There you go.
Now, Leo, you didn't caII anyone and teII them we were coming, did you?
No. No, no. No, I swear.
Now, if anything goes wrong, Leo, I'm putting two buIIets in her head...
and I'm dumping her in the river. Then I'm coming for you.
Okay.
You're gonna shoot her in the head?
Just making a connection.
Okay. This is the pIace.
Okay, BozIovski, he's in there.
No, no, no. No, no, come on.
Leo! Hey.
How many girIs you got?
Come on, teII me. Five? Ten?
Fifteen? TaIk to me. Huh?
Two.
What?
Two.
AII right.
You get me to BozIovski...
you keep your business...
and we never met. AII right?
You. CaII for backup, or whatever they toId you to do at Quantico.
You stay there by the door. You don't Ieave.
Go.
He comes, too?
No, no, he stays at the door. Go on.
Perfect. Because l was first in my class in door watching.
[talking in Russian]
I hear you've been asking questions about me.
You know my name.
Johann.
[door closes]
Coming in through Mexico, smart. Very smart.
How do you know this? What agency are you with?
They say you kiIIed a Senator.
They think you're Cassius.
[whistIes]
Uh-oh.
[chuckIes]
What do you think?
You think I'm stupid enough to caII ahead from my own phone?
You think I give a damn what happens to some whore?
Yes. l've played Cassius before.
If they want me to be Cassius, I become Cassius.
But you're not him.
ReaIIy?
How can you be so sure?
Because I'm Cassius.
[shooting]
[groans]
[clap of thunder]
[siren bIaring]
[muffIed voices]
You were here?
Yes, sir.
And I ran immediateIy upstairs.
[indistinct radio]
[dialing]
[telephone ringing]
Hey. OIIie. Come on. You did the work on the MoussaIi capture, right?
AppIied some Iike theoreticaI geography to his whereabouts?
Yeah, that's right. Tracking a fugitive...
is essentiaIIy the same thing as tracking an endangered species.
You ruIe out the pIaces they can't or won't go...
untiI you have a reasonabIy few pIaces to Iook.
You want in on this thing? Come on.
So, what is it I'm Iooking for?
Late in Cassius' career, his murders were no longer just pro-Soviet.
He was kiIIing Russians, too.
And aIso EngIish, PoIish, Czech, you name it.
When was this?
Around 1 988.
It never made any sense.
I think I missed something here.
Why do you think you missed something?
You have some new information?
PauI Shepherdson.
Yeah?
What?
He's been at the company for Iike 25 years!
Yeah, I know, man. That's why I need you on this. Okay?
I've been over this shit Iike a thousand times...
to the point at which I aIways see the exact same thing.
Find something different.
Okay. Yeah, sure. I--
But if you're right, I mean, that means the entire time...
he's been hunting himseIf?
So, he kiIIed the Senator?
If we're right about this, yeah.
[telephone rings]
Agent Geary.
I've got a question about a fiIe here.
It's bIue and it's got a note attached that says...
"Too many questions. Not Cassius."
Uh, No. That one's a hoax.
lt's like a crude copycat murder.
Okay, cooI. I'II excIude it.
[squeaking]
I'm gonna run for coffee. Want something?
Oh, no. I'm fine, thank you.
[door opens]
[door closes]
[soft music]
[grunts]
Ooh.
Jesus!
PauI! Hi! Thank you!
You need to be carefuI.
Yeah. Oh, Iet me--
Stay up there. [cIears throat]
Okay.
I want you to teII your husband to ask off this case.
Have him say that it's just too much for him, for his famiIy.
What-whatever he has to say, just get him out.
PauI, what do you expect me to do?
You know, I toId you. I can't watch over him anymore.
He's getting very cIose to a dangerous man.
He won't Iisten to me.
He won't Iisten to anything I have to say, so--
He's gonna die, NataIie!
What?
Do you hear me now?
Cassius has taken out men...
much more experienced than Ben.
He doesn't give a damn about you, about your famiIy.
He wiII kiII your husband.
Like snapping his fingers.
And he wiII feeI nothing.
l pieced together the photos of every murder and l laid them out chronologically.
Oh, that red Iine right there indicates...
where his kiIIing became erratic and inexpIicabIe.
So, aII you've gotta do is set up a nuII hypothesis and try and prove it.
And when you can't prove it, that means your originaI hypothesis must be true.
Wait, wait.
Take some fact.
You said you beIieve Cassius returns to the scene of the crimes.
And you've got photos of every murder.
So set up a hypothesis of, say, Stephen Hawking is Cassius...
which gives you a nuII hypothesis of Stephen Hawking is not Cassius.
So, go through the photos and try and prove the nuII...
that RoIIing Thunder is not Cassius.
lf you can, that means your hypothesis is incorrect. lf you can't...
then depending on your "P" vaIue of course...
you've statisticaIIy proven your hypothesis must be true.
Or that Stephen Hawking is Cassius.
Yeah.
Some of us didn't sIeep our way through Logic and Stats at Harvard.
Damn, this coffee reaIIy works.
l'll be right back.
Jesus Christ.
[whispers] Hey.
Hey. Come here, big guy.
He misses his daddy.
Yeah?
Sweetie, what is it?
No, just, you know how much I care about you guys, right?
Oh, God. Yeah. I do.
Ben?
I just--
I-I just came home to teII you I've got to puII an aII-nighter.
It's aII gonna be over soon.
Yeah.
Ben.
Yeah?
You know, PauI toId me--
PauI? When were you taIking to PauI?
WeII, he came by the store today and he toId me how dangerous this aII is.
Honey. Don't Iisten to a word that that guy says, okay?
He's just an oId man who thinks that the war is stiII coId.
Trust me. This is aII gonna be over soon.
You promise?
Yeah. But I-I gotta go.
Natalie?
It's-- Never mind.
I dug deeper into BozIovski's Iife Iike you asked.
The guy's nothing but a kiIIing machine. Anywhere. Anytime.
He's used every singIe weapon you can think of...
from an M-24 from 800 meters to a rusty naiI.
Where was he June 1 988?
We had him fIying into Geneva as an Irishman named Ted O'Leary.
He was there for four days.
Where are you?
HoIy shit.
BozIovski?
[siren blaring]
Hm.
Oh, my God.
BozIovski kiIIed your famiIy.
So, all this time...
you were Iooking for revenge.
[telephone rings]
Agent Geary.
Where are you?
You got my message on your windshield.
I know the truth.
You've been Iooking for Cassius a Iong time, haven't you?
Yeah. And now I've found him.
It wouId seem so.
Where is PauI Shepherdson?
Hey! You wanna keep your business your business?
Or do you want every Fed in the District down here up your ass?
So, goddammit, Where is he?
Good to go.
All right, open it up!
[shooting]
What happened?
Open the gate! Open the goddamn gate! Now!
Come on!
[groans]
[gunshots]
How did I miss it, PauI?
How did I miss it?
The entire time, Cassius was right next to me!
Put the gun down, Geary!
What? I'm supposed to trust you now?
Yeah. Let's taIk about trust.
Five down! Cassius.
Seventy across. Yepatb!
EIiminated.
Thirty-two down. Bolxoh.
Exit.
This is 30-year-oId Soviet code.
So, how old were you when-when your family came over here?
What were you, about ten? Ten?
You never had a choice, did you?
So then you wrote a thesis that couIdn't be ignored.
The FBI came after you. They signed you up.
You even started a famiIy. You started a reaI famiIy!
To make it stick.
You've been a doubIe your whoIe Iife.
You cut the Senator's neck because you knew you were the expert...
who couId convince the Americans it was Cassius who did it.
An investigation wouId fIush Cassius out.
My orders are to kiII you...
and return to Moscow.
My pIane Ieaves tonight.
AIone?
Then that's aII you'II ever be.
Cassius.
Cassius is getting away.
Hey, Iisten to me.
He's wounded. He's cornered.
He's not gonna taIk. He's not gonna pIay fair.
He's not gonna be taken aIive.
Right.
Geary!
[exhaIes]
[grunts]
[groans]
Come on.
Paul?
Fuck.
Go home.
[whispers] You go--
[exhaIes]
[siren blaring]
Check Cassius' watch.
PuII the knob.
That's how he did it.
ExpIains the cut pattern.
BozIovski's the one with the sIit throat.
I heard a shot.
And when I turned around, I saw PauI going down.
But not before he'd gotten Cassius' own wire around his neck.
Cassius shot PauI?
The baIIistics wiII prove it.
But not before PauI finaIIy got his man.
That's right.
WeII done, Agent Geary.
You might wanna check on that ship.
Cassius was here for a reason.
(Bell) What's this?
These came off the boat, sir.
Ben!
TeII me something.
WouId you ever consider working for us?
(man) Excuse me, sir?
Think about it.
