you?
Let me talk to him. He'll listen to me.
He'll pay it. I know he will!
I don't want money.
I want the truth.
About what he does,
about the people he works with.
What are you talking about?
You wouldn't believe it
unless you heard it from his mouth.
No one would.
Which, unfortunately,
makes all of this necessary.
Please! I don't understand.
I never thought it would go this far.
That a father would do this.
I never wanted to kill anyone.
Sergeant David Cougar was one of two
kidnappers who abducted Taylor Watts.
We identified
and located Cougar too late,
after he had been tortured
and killed by his partner.
A profile of that partner is in your briefing
packets, supplied by the Millennium Group.
He's impulsive but intelligent. He has periods
of lucidity interrupted by psychotic breaks.
- Presumably, during one such break, he...
- He didn't kill his partner.
Who did, then?
- Ask that man. Ask Peter Watts.
- All right, that's enough, Frank.
The Group got there before us. Anything
you think you learned, they planted there.
I said, that's enough.
Hollis.
David Cougar,
I can't believe he was murdered.
After all he went through.
- In Desert Storm?
- Oh, and afterwards.
Each war has its own syndrome.
World War II, it was shell shock.
Vietnam was post-traumatic stress disorder.
The Gulf War gave us,
uh... paranoia, I guess.
Veterans were obsessed with disease.
They thought they were being poisoned.
- Had they?
- Who knows?
It's a psych ward.
But a lot of them thought so.
- Other than Cougar?
- He was mild compared to some in his group.
And he got better. He stopped coming,
even for outpatients, about a year ago.
I can't believe that he took that girl.
Quite likely he was involved with someone
from his group. Do you have any files?
We're the government.
Of course we have files.
- What are you looking for?
- High intelligence, special training.
He wouldn't be infantry.
Oh, this isn't checked out.
All the records are just gone.
Eric Swan. Do you know him?
Oh, yeah. He's the talk-show king. He ran up
a major phone bill here in the office,
telling everyone the truth
about Desert Storm.
- Do you have an address on him?
- It should be there.
She's your daughter, Peter. They don't
even have a name for what you're doing.
I'm doing everything I can to get her back.
You think we're not trying?
- We took a big hit when you left.
- Don't flatter me.
- It's true.
- You don't even know the truth any more.
What do they want?
How many times have you talked to them?
Their demands are never gonna be met.
- Never be met by you, her father?
- Not by me. By the Group.
Desert Storm. Is that what this is about?
What's the Group's involvement?
- Group intelligence kept casualties down to...
- Another lie!
Then stop asking me questions
you know I can't answer! You know I can't!
Will you help me find her?
- That's what I've been doing.
- But I'm asking you.
They can't know about it.
The Group can't know.
Will you help me?
Yes, I will.
I got two photographs.
This came yesterday.
I was heartened. She looked OK.
This came today.
What's this?
What is this canister?
Judging from her condition,
she has no more than 36 hours to live.
- So this is our guy, huh?
- He worked closely with Cougar.
They spent time together
in a psych ward at Walter Reed.
Both were obsessed by biological agents
they said were used in Desert Storm.
Swan wrote letters,
called in to radio talk shows.
Then he stopped talking.
Good God.
- What did he do to her?
- She's been infected with a biological agent.
I don't think we have much time.
- Where'd you get this?
- It was delivered to Walter Reed.
So, what does he want?
Somebody to tell his story?
He told his story, no one listened. He wants
a confession from the people responsible.
For what?
Some figment of his imagination?
No, the same people that killed his partner.
There's a reason he chose Taylor Watts.
- So what do
