board.
Actually, we can now confirm...
that neither the president
or the first lady...
were on board
at the time of the crash.
The president
and first lady are safe.
If you're just joining us, these are live pictures
just outside Camp David...
- where earlier today, Marine One...
went down shortly after takeoff.
Two hikers who witnessed the crash
reported seeing a contrail or fiery tail...
just before that helicopter went down.
That is leading to the possibility,
unconfirmed by authorities...
- Our friend was insufficiently motivated.
- that the chopper was shot down...
probably by a shoulder-fired missile.
Now, we want to make clear, again...
- that the president and first lady are safe.
 If you are just joining us,
these are live pictures from the scene...
just outside of Camp David, where earlier today
Marine One went down just after takeoff.
Sources say marine and Secret Service
personnel were on that aircraft...
and they were killed in the crash.This crash is being investigated
by both the White House and the military.
- You failed.
- I did exactly what I promised.
He wasn't on board.
That is the only thing that matters.
That is the only thing I give a shit a-
Do you understand?
Now, we're gonna meet
and we're gonna discuss this.
Deadly against
any low-altitude aircraft...
including jets,
prop planes and helicopters.
But that comes from witnesses.
Has not been confirmed by investigators.
Again, these pictures coming to us about-
Well, it sure doesn't look like
you're here to bury the hatchet.
You're being investigated for treason.
- What are you talk-
- Step back.
- Excuse me?
- Step back.
- Hey, Jill.
- Pete.
- Matt.
- Pete.
Sorry for the intrusion, sir.
If I failed the polygraph,
then why am I still on duty?
Director didn't want to arrest one of
the guys responsible for saving Reagan's life...
without a little more evidence.
How long you been working
for the Barranquilla Cartel?
What are you talking about?
Hugo, can you come in here, please?
Pete Garrison,
Special Agent Ortega with the F.B.I.
What were you doing
at the Las Palmas Coffee Shop?
- I was having a cup of coffee.
- Takes you four hours to have a cup of coffee?
I was killing a few hours at a coffee shop.
Is there a problem with that?
Tom DiPaola said he called you four times.
You never returned any of his messages.
And that you almost missed
the Marine One flight yesterday.
They moved the flight up two hours.
I was in the coffee shop.
It was noisy.
I couldn't hear my cell phone.
Now, wh-wh-what is this?
What the hell are you doing following me?
Las Palmas Coffee Shop is a dead drop
for the Barranquilla Cartel.
 You screwed up, Pete.
You walked into a stakeout.
I wanna know your number one
go-to guy at the cartel.
And I wanna know how you were gonna
help them kill the president.
Why would I want to kill the president?
What motive do I have?
To be honest with you, I don't care.
I know what the evidence is telling me.
I have given my entire life
to the Secret Service.
- I've gotten up at 4:00 a.m.
every goddamn morning.
- Is that what this is about?
You're bitter after all your years of service
that they didn't make you director?
Oh, no. Don't confuse your own ambition
with mine. Okay, Dave?
Come on, Pete. Think about it.
People would understand that.
Jesus Christ, you took a bullet
for the president of the United States.
And in the 25 years since,
you haven't even made shift supervisor...
on a presidential detail,
and that I know you wanted.
But they don't put guys
that bend the rules, not even a little bit...
in charge of P.P.D.,
