Murder at 1600 (1997) Edit

A burgundy Chevrolet Caprice, is the possible suspect car.

A dark cloud seems to be hanging over this administration.

A Harvard study..

A minute after Kennedy was shot.

A murder 40 yards from where the President sleeps..

A woman I slept with an hour before.

After 2 bourbons, she's telling me that his one mission in life..

After you, detective.

After you're sworn in..

Agent Chance examined Carla Town's effects 8 minutes ago.

Agent Chance, when did they remove you from Kyle's detail?

Agent, gun!

Air Force officials have reiterated their initial statement..

All right, take it easy this evening.

All right, where is he?

All sectors secure.

All the evidence will be destroyed.

Alvin Jordan.

Amazing, huh?

An Oval Office address is scheduled for 10:00 tonight.

And 11:00.

And a tie.

And detective..

And don't say it's classified.

And he had evidence that Kyle killed Carla Town.

And he had history of violence against women.

And I found him..

And now, this special bulletin.

And prudent.

And Senior Secret Service Agent Nicholas Spikings..

And that institution will be protected at all costs.

And the handwriting on the 23rd?

And the President's approval ratings drop..

And the surveillance tape putting Kyle and Carla together..

And there she is..

And they..

And tour the best golf clubs in America.

And you standing next to him with an earpiece.

Answer me!

Answer the question.

Any improper behavior on the part of any employee must be reported!

Any President who serves up his country as appetizers for the enemy..

Any problem?

Anything I should know about?

Anything you say can be held against you in a court of law!

Apparently, Agent Spikings was mistaken.

Are you comfortable with that?!

Are you insane?

Are you telling me none of them saw her within 3 minutes of her death?

Aren't you the..?

Army Corps engineers.

As a guard.

As a team.

As a team.

As the attention of homicide detectives turn to Kyle Neil..

As well.

As you can see behind me, the immediate area has been sealed off.

At no time was President Neil planning to resign.

Avoid using two words if you give any statements to the media.

Back door!

Back off!

Back off!

Banning Travel, 1500 bucks.

Be careful.

Be careful.

Beating up his girlfriend.

Because he's the President.

Because if anybody found out..

Because if anyone walked in..

Because it's next to a hotel..

Because then they would be considered suspects.

Because we didn't attack?

Before the White House murder cast a dark cloud..

Before the White House murder cast a dark cloud..

Beginning with what you two just discussed right now.

Being picked up.

Besides..

Big surprise. It's the government.

Bob!

Bourbon?

Bring our soldiers home! Get Neil out!

Brookland Associates.

Built in case the Confederates lay siege to the White House.

But don't make any fucking noise till you have something real.

But for an administration deep in the troubled waters..

But I can tell you that the apartment is registered in the name of..

But I know I could not let an innocent man..

But jurisdiction..

But that is about all I have right now.

But then, that was the word. The Secret Service..

But you came on to her, right?

But you do.

Can I have a fruit juice, please?

Can you believe this? What is this President waiting for?

Captain?

Carla Town didn't have a driver's license.

Carla Town wasn't killed to protect the administration.

Carla Town?

Carla was killed to destroy you..

Carla..

Carry on, Detective.

Check it out.

Civilians used to take picnics to that crest to watch the battle.

Clear sector 7 now and report back to me only.

CNN has just received this smuggled footage..

Coffee?

Come in!

Come on, Carla.

Come on, Regis.

Come on!

Congratulations, you are now a statistic.

Could be this thing with the President maybe?

Could you open it, please?

Cover sector 12!

Cover the stairs, I'll take the front.

Covered it up for him.

Craig Nisker and Associates?

Damn!

Dead, wounded or otherwise.

Describing the mission as routine.

Detective Regis, come right on through.

Detective Regis, Stengel's been looking for you.

Detective, it's this way.

Did he plant it there?

Did he plant it?

Did the killer penetrate the White House with the objective of killing Miss Town?

Did you come on to Carla Town?

Did you ever see her?

Did you have an affair with Carla?

Did your father have sex with Carla?

Didn't that Senator lay the wood to that stripper around here somewhere?

Do it quietly.

Do you ever speak to anyone at the interstate Commerce Commission?

Do you know how many people were in the White House?

Do you know what it takes..

Do you know who I could talk to because I phone, write and nobody calls me.

Do you know why she was working so late on Friday night?

Do you want to see my badge?

Don't believe me, look at the tape.

Don't bother.

Don't come here again.

Don't forget that.

Don't make me stain my linen.

Don't say my name, just listen.

Don't want that, don't want that. That!

Don't work there anymore, and they're on the second floor!

Don't worry about it, I'll call you.

Effective 10 p.m.

Either you help me or I'll find out the loud way.

End of the line.

Enough of this shit. Tell Carl to shoot him.

Entered at 12:09..

Every single day.

Everybody's lying around here.

Everything's about numbers.

Excuse me, all film stays in house. Orders.

Excuse me, Mr. Speaker..

Excuse me?

Finally, not having served your country in the military..

First battle of Bull Run.

First I must take it apart, then put it back together again.

For CNN, I'm Doris MacMillian.

For CNN, I'm Doris MacMillian.

For conspiracy in the murder of Carla Town and Nicholas Spikings!

For his paranoid theories..

For the task force.

Freeze China out if they stand with North Korea.

Freeze!

From a sober judgment?

Fry for something he did not do.

General Tully has a point.

Gentlemen, at 2400 hours..

Gentlemen..

Get back to your desk!

Get down. Cops.

Get her up here.

Get her. And Cooper..

Get him out of here.

Get in here and take a look at this.

Get Neil out!

Get rid of the wire. I know who's listening anyway.

Get them!

Give me a break!

Go ahead, I'll be okay.

Go away!

Go for the gas tank.

Go on through.

Go!

Go!

Good evening, officers.

Good night.

Good, thanks.

Good.

Handled.

Harlan Regis hasn't.

Harlan Regis, homicide.

Harlan Regis, homicide.

Harlan, what's going on?

He can't even defend his own house.

He comes in and then he leaves with..

He could've smuggled them out.

He did. Nina Chance.

He didn't assign me one.

He eats a doughnut..

He figured she'd burn the whole family.

He gave Spikings the evidence on your son.

He goes out there.

He had clearance.

He has a mistress about to drop a tell all.

He was killed as he fired upon authorities arresting him.

He was ugly.

He worked at the Smithsonian for about 34 years..

He writes with his right hand..

He'd elicited your support..

He'll want to question Spikings. Get me his address in Alexandria.

He's all yours.

He's clear.

He's fucking up traffic.

He's mine.

He's Secret Service. Can you make me a hard copy?

He's the guy at Spikings'.

He's the king of tell all.

Heavy date?

Hello?

Here, look at this.

Him.

His agency sold 5 of the top 10 scandal memoirs of all time.

His name?

His name?

Hold it!

Hold on.

Hold this.

How am I going to move all this?

How can I ever repay you?

How did it get in the lavatory?

How did Spikings find a button in the bathroom no other detective found?

How did you get down here?

How did you..?

How do I go about getting that?

How do you know?

How long before the media finds out..

How long?

How lovely for you!

How many times must I tell you?!

How you doing?

How?

How?

How?

How?

How'd you get in?

How'd you get it?

I ain't going to ask you again!

I am here. Seal the corridor.

I am still the President!

I asked you to leave.

I believe you, I just got a question.

I built this city, remember?

I came on to her. I mean..

I can't defend my own house..

I can't move.

I can't tell you that.

I checked into a motel.

I crawled.

I don't give a shit! You're going down. Turn around.

I don't know my father's sexual rÚsumÚ.

I don't know why you look surprised.

I don't know, okay?

I don't know.

I don't know. Is there?

I expect your resignation on my desk in the morning.

I feel safer already.

I find a picture of Kyle coming back from Brazil..

I found you were in over half of them.

I got it by a nose hair.

I guess he figures I'll be easier on you than some rookie with acne.

I guess I'm supposed to get my briefings from CNN?

I guess Kyle found out about it.

I have a duty to protect!

I have you on tape..

I heard sounds..

I hope you know what you're doing.

I just can't believe this.

I just need your car, all right?

I know that guy.

I know that.

I know what he's making progress at.

I labeled it wrong.

I must question..

I must've looked at 18 months of pictures of the guy.

I need a drink.

I resent the implication..

I saw footage of them coming back from Camp David with the dog.

I see my life and my service..

I stole it.

I think Teddy Roosevelt said it best.

I think Washington is drowning in a sea of its own bullshit.

I think you should leave.

I want a report, detailed and immediate.

I want the 7th fleet to stand down, not turn around..

I want to talk to Detective Regis, D.C. Homicide.

I want you to lay low until I get to Jordan or Spikings.

I was a good boy!

I was a good boy!

I was in the Olympics.

I work here.

I'd hate to think how it'd look, what people might think.

I'd hate to think how it'd look.

I'd reassign you, but it'd make more news!

I'll be damned!

I'll call you.

I'll hold them off as long as I can.

I'm a homicide cop in the homicide capital of the world.

I'm afraid it'll take longer than that.

I'm an agent for the United States Secret Service.

I'm an obituary man.

I'm godfather to his son. Your suspicions are ludicrous.

I'm in charge of White House security.

I'm just trying to do my job.

I'm just trying to do my job.

I'm making progress.

I'm not going to war over this.

I'm not here.

I'm not taking any calls.

I'm on it.

I'm trying to figure that out. Everyone thinks I can fix it because I'm a cop.

I've got to go.

I've known Jack Neil for 3 decades.

I've nothing more to discuss with you about this.

If any father can call that a choice.

If China wants grain, I want our boys back!

If I must choose between righteousness and peace..

If I'd known, I'd have put a turnstile in and charged admission.

If I'm not mistaken, what I see over there is a homicide.

If Jack Neil cannot protect the workers under his own roof..

If she was alive at 10:49, she was murdered well after..

If that's all you got, you got nothing.

If the bodyguard was there, that means Kyle was on that boat as well.

If the President was in residence that night, why didn't you tell me?

If you want him down, this is no huge problem.

In 180 years, there's never been a penetration of the White House.

In her appointment book..

In his apartment.

In less than an hour..

In that same gun battle..

In the day planner..

In the face of growing support for military intervention..

In the Sea of Japan at this hour.

Incorrect.

Interstate Commerce Commission.

Iowa.

Is a matter of national security.

Is especially dangerous to the President's public image.

Is there a problem?

Is this the only one?

Is to get laid in every room in the White House.

Isn't fit for this office.

It can go to hell.

It gets better than that. Her uncle's company, Brookland Associates..

It goes off across town, the General Services Building.

It sounds like a plan to me.

It was found in the bathroom.

It was here we saw the image of an untroubled President..

It'll take us to one of the three points vulnerable to penetration.

It's a bit off your turf.

It's a forgery.

It's a form! What could be simpler?! All you must do is fill in the blanks!

It's a homicide! It is my turf!

It's a nasty ass city, Regis.

It's bad news, Mr. President.

It's driving me crazy.

It's easier to kill the secretary than the President.

It's in my back.

It's my duty to tell you your lack of action is almost criminal.

It's not about 13 men. It's about a dead woman in the White House.

It's not as clean as a knife. See the jagged edge of the wound?

It's not far.

It's on the B..

It's still Jack, Alvin.

It's the only one I see, but I just got here.

It's the White House.

Jack Neil will step down after a little more than 2 years in office.

Jack, Kyle and Carla: The Oval Office Threesome.

Jeffrey Brose, Interstate Commerce Commission..

Jesus!

Jordan played his card.

Jordan set up the whole thing.

Jordan walked him in.

Just doing my job.

Just like a big fish, fell right for the bait.

Keep watch over us.

Kindergarten teacher?

Kyle Neil was having an affair with Carla Town.

Kyle Neil.

Kyle once bragged about sharing a mistress with his father.

Kyle!

Kyle's innocent!

Ladies and gentlemen..

Lady was buying a new life.

Last night had nothing to do with me. I was off duty.

Lee Harvey Oswald was seen in the book depository cafeteria drinking Coke..

Left at 12: 14.

Left yesterday afternoon.

Let me see that.

Let's do this.

Let's get out of here.

Let's go!

Let's see I.D.

Let's see what we got.

Like if she worked late, say..

Listen to me.

Live and in color.

Loneliest job in the world.

Look at her photo album.

Look at this, Regis.

Look for a steel door.

Look, here's what you need.

Look..

Looks that way.

Luchessi doesn't clean the bathrooms.

Luchessi's a stooge.

Make yourself comfortable.

Maybe she forgot?

Maybe you can.

Measured a man's longevity by what he reads first in the paper.

Meet me there in one hour.

Minutes before the murder.

Monday, 4:30. You're right.

Motion sensors.

Move to paradise, so you buy a one way ticket, right?

Move!

Movement in 102. Repeat. Movement in 102, subsector 11.

Mr. Peterson?

Mr. President..

Mr. President..

Mrs. Kitty Neil.

Mrs. Wallace..

Multiple puncture wounds to the upper torso and base of neck.

My best guess is she's dead maybe 3 hours.

My father was a history buff so he kind of rubbed off on me.

My God, Alvin..

National Security Advisor Alvin Jordan..

Never.

Nice dress.

Nice to know that we have our men in blue out here to..

Nice.

Nick Spikings is dead.

Nick Spikings..

Nina Chance, find her and lock her down.

No blood, except hers.

No DNA.

No one knows where the trail will end.

No one saw him until 11:02.

No problem.

No semen..

No, from your Secret Service liaison.

No, from your Secret Service liaison.

No, I finally found everything.

No, they're right where we want them.

No! I'm crazy!

No! They let me go! Threw me out!

No.

Nobody can account for him during a 45 minute period..

Nobody can pinpoint the time of death. He can't prove where he was.

Not him.

Not much.

Not the first thing in your life you've been naive about.

Now I'll do mine.

Now said to have been in the White House at the time of the murder.

Obviously not.

Of course.

Of never leaving a man on the field of battle.

Of the criminal code..

Of violence, fighting..

Officially, 5 to 7 minutes.

Oh, no. Hell, no!

On the ground! Get on the ground!

One may be appointed to you.

One more thing.

One night..

One of his agents was a woman. She took me under her wing.

One.

Or her child, if she have any.

Or one who's being framed.

Or the victim's spouse.

Or you can stay in office and watch your son destroyed.

Out of my reach.

Out!

Over this once highly regarded administration.

People don't speak English in this town anymore.

Phone records, credit card, bank account, all impounded, now classified.

Please, what is it? The porch light's on, but nobody's home?

Please.

President and Mrs. Neil will have a statement later.

Prior to when the Secret Service found him in the East Room at 11:02.

Progress. Yeah, you're making progress!

Put ribbons in your hair?!

Remember that claim check? I sent Greeley to the drug store.

Remember where we had the double homicide 2 weeks ago?

Rental car, flight to the Virgin islands, St. Croix..

Reservation at the Pierre..

Response time?

Right down the street?

Right here.

Rigor is progressive.

Rivaling the Korean hostage taking as an issue for the White House..

Seal the corridor!

Secret Service.

Sector 2 secure.

Sector 3 secure.

Sector 5 secure.

Sector 6 secure.

See what we got.

See? It's not what you know, it's who you know.

Set it off, we're surrounded by agents.

Sharpshooting isn't a team sport.

Sharpshooting.

She even told me..

She had a flight to New York..

She has a meeting scheduled for tomorrow in New York.

She was a casualty of war.

She was killed in my house.

She wasn't coming back, either.

She wasn't going anywhere.

She wasn't sure who.

She'd score big with this.

She's hot.

She's stable.

She's still there. Do you want me to finish this?

Sheldon Tercott, CNN, at the White House.

Shit!

Signs of force?

Sir, he's a D.C. homicide cop.

Sit down.

Smelled business.

So how can I defend America?

So I went in.

So I'm digging..

So is China..

So the choice is yours.

So the trail would lead to the Neils.

So they're eavesdropping.

So whose name is missing?

So why kill someone from the Office of Protocol?

So you have someone on the inside.

So you negotiate for 13. How many do you go to war for? 14?

So, Regis..

So?

So's Kyle.

Someone dumped a dead body in the White House..

Someone with a motive as good as yours.

Someone's playing us like puppets.

Son of a bitch!

Soon we'll be living out of garbage cans.

Sorry I'm late.

Sorry, sir.

Sources say the President will resign.

Sources say the U. S. Seventh Fleet remains on full alert..

Spikings collected it.

Spikings wants to see you.

Spikings was about to cut himself a deal to leak it.

Spikings.

Spikings..

Spikings..

Stand back.

Stand him up.

Start with comics, you'll live longer.

Stay easy. I'm right here.

Straight ahead.

Straight down this hall to the left.

Strap in. This'll get weird.

Sure, Secretary Randall's office is down the street.

Sure, sure. Take your time. Just ask for Jack.

Sure. Only a couple left though, just so you know.

Surveillance tapes.

Suspect?

Talk to me.

Tell them, Don't shoot.

Tense night in the big city.

Testing. 1, 2, 3.

Than dead and martyred.

Than what?

Thank you very much.

Thank you, Agent Chance.

Thank you, son.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you. You the man!

Thanks, Regis. I appreciate it. I can take care of myself.

That button was labeled as found in the dining room.

That doesn't bring them back to the table, we'll reconvene.

That gives us 2 hours to get to the President.

That morning I almost shot their dog.

That the President's son was banging her an hour before she died?

That was some stunt you pulled.

That's all, gentlemen.

That's his motive.

That's how I got in the Secret Service.

That's it.

That's motive enough.

That's not enough.

That's the steam grate.

That's what you call it?

That's when I asked to be reassigned.

The car..

The case is closed.

The choice is yours.

The company who leased the President's campaign space owned her apartment.

The count is 30 in house.

The court may allocate a fine for the children of the victim.

The court may direct the fine be paid to the female seduced..

The court may direct what?

The evidence indicates a crime of passion.

The FBI has not been able to interview the First Son..

The Feds get here 15 minutes later.

The government doesn't close because it's Friday.

The gun's on safety.

The Interstate Commerce Commission?

The janitor!

The loop on the L is smooth and continuous.

The machines automatically crop.

The murder of Carla Town remains unsolved.

The murderer of Carla Town is dead.

The Olympics!

The one who just stepped to the podium.

The point is that it's enough to distract anybody.

The President and the First Lady.

The President is about to be an official suspect.

The President urged patience, stating negotiations..

The President's not to be involved.

The same man who put a bullet in Spikings.

The Secret Service guys..

The slope of the writing is different.

The Speaker of the House.

The tapes are classified.

The task force is closed. We have a suspect.

The time of her death is set..

The tunnels under the White House.

The whole thing.

The words are woman and murder.

Then I'll just have to get somebody who can.

Then Jordan had Spikings shot because he saw the tape.

Then stabs her 8 times.

Then you've done your duty.

There he is.

There is.

There must be an alarm.

There must be another explanation.

There never was an appointment.

There won't be anything anyone can prove.

There's a gun on you. Get up, slowly.

There's absolutely no truth to any of those rumors.

There's an obvious pause..

There's only 30 names here.

There's traces of lubricant in the vaginal tract and under fingernails.

These people can make us disappear.

These pipes go through the wall.

They bought my apartment building so they could turn it into a garage for..

They brought you in on this..

They covered it up, got them out. Why?

They don't even have cool sirens like we do.

They even took her garbage.

They found the murder weapon..

They go the extra mile so no one'll say they couldn't have done more.

They never go anywhere without it.

They started around 11: 15.

They think I'm booboo the Fool.

They took them to Camp David after the body was found.

They were going to shoot you.

They were in the White House when Carla was murdered!

They were there.

They would always drive her home.

They're so unfair!

They're some organization, I'm not really sure, but they're evicting me.

Think we should strike the North Koreans.

Think you can prosecute me?

Third bureaucrat this month.

This case is closed.

This changes nothing about Luchessi.

This day and age, they might get the wrong idea.

This has got to work.

This is an act of war.

This is D.C. Unfortunately she's mine.

This is full frame?

This is global, detective.

This is good.

This is Manassas.

This is Sears for Carla Town, confirming Monday between 8 and 12..

This is the old emergency water system.

This is very good.

This is.

Those 13 men aren't risking their lives over bullshit.

To force your resignation.

To install the trash compactor you bought yesterday.

To keep the smell of blood from North Korea.

To my place. I got to change.

To stand all day in one place..

Try that as a sleeping pill.

Tully was right when he called it criminal.

Two drinks a day. Healthy. Three..

Two.

Until when?

Wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

Wait. We're here.

Was looking out for her.

Was strictly hands off.

Was the First Family involved?

Washington City, July 21 st, 1861.

We can go in with special forces.

We can place him at the scene.

We did.

We got a special on that model.

We got to cross over.

We met President Reagan. It was 1988.

We put our lives on the line..

We..

We'd never get our boys back.

We'll be late for the autopsy.

We'll see you later.

We'll use the tunnels they used to get out.

We're a superpower, let's act like it.

We're being patient..

We're not being passive.

We're right on schedule.

We're under the mall. That's Pennsylvania Avenue.

We've come too far to turn back now.

Well, there is one thing.

Well, well! Why are you here?

What agent captured?

What are you doing for dinner?

What are you going to do? Put the President in a lineup?

What did he do?

What do I have to do, hire a nursemaid to hold your hand?

What do you mean, hands off?

What do you think? Meet and greet time?

What do you want?

What does that mean? He doesn't have a motive?

What if he initiates contact?

What is it?

What is it?

What is the world coming to?

What motive?

What people might think..

What the hell is that?

What was she doing here so late?

What would it take for me to see the surveillance tapes?

What would you like?

What you should be doing is taking care of your business.

What?
