414. Line in the Sand
Written by: Peter M. Lenkov
Aired in the US on July 2, 2000
Dialoge transcibed by Northstar
SECTION ONE: COMM
Birkoff and Walter
WALTER: You still at it?
BIRKOFF: Did you say something?
WALTER: No. It’s all right. What ya workin’ on?
BIRKOFF: Pull back from the Islamabad Mission.
WALTER: Find anything? (Birkoff ignores him) Birkoff, did you ever think about going out for a little walk? You know, stretch your legs a little bit. Get a few rays on that pasty mug of yours.
BIRKOFF: (points) Would you hand me that thermo-enhancer there?
WALTER: Yeah, sure.
Walter hands the equipment to Birkoff. Birkoff puts it into his computer and continues to work.
WALTER: Find somebody?
BIRKOFF: Yeah….
Flash to Hillinger at Oversight. He monitors what Birkoff is doing.
HILLINGER: (to himself) What are you looking for Seymour?
Flash back to Birkoff and Walter as they look at the monitor.
WALTER: Now, that’s a Red Cell thread. How high does it go?
BIRKOFF: All the way to the top. I think.
WALTER: Well, think again. The head of Red Cell wouldn’t be on a relocation profile.
BIRKOFF: It’s possible.
WALTER: All you’ve got here is a little hunch and a cold cup of coffee. Better think about that walk outside. It might help you see things a little clearer.
Walter exits. Birkoff continues working until a pattern emerges on his computer. He inserts his earpiece.
BIRKOFF: Where’s Operations?
VOICE: He’s in the Tower.
BIRKOFF: Get him.
VOICE: He’s not to be disturbed.
Birkoff removes his earpiece and leaves Comm for the Tower. In the Tower, he walks up to the door. Operations answers his summons, frowning heavily.
OPERATIONS: I told you I was not to be disturbed.
An unseen woman speaks to Operations in another language. Operations answers her, than speaks to Birkoff.
OPERATIONS: What is it Birkoff?
BIRKOFF: I found the Cardinal.
Operations nods.
NIKITA’S APARTMENT
Nikita is looking out the balcony doors when there is a knock at the door. It is Mick, and a woman, Monique.
MICK: (to Monique) Do you see what I mean? I mean look at this foyer. Sparse, airy, but inviting. (pause) Where are my manners? Nikita, Monique. Monique, Nikita. Kiss, kiss and all that.
MICK: Monique is my new interior decorator. I told her you wouldn’t mind me showing her around your flat.
NIKITA: Actually, I am right in the middle of something, Mick.
MICK: (to Nikita): Oh, we won’t be long, doll. We’ll be gone in a jiff. (to Monique) See it’s the flow. A little nuevo-vencilli. Don’t you think?
MONIQUE: (to Nikita): You did a really nice job here.
NIKITA: (to Monique) Thanks. (to Mick) Mick, this isn’t the right time.
MICK: Cozy though, very cozy. With this look, I can have the best of both worlds -- like a rock and roll, like high-energy urban exterior and a relaxed casual interior. And look at what she’s done to the kitchen space. Hey! That is handsome, very handsome.
Nikita’s phone rings. Mick picks it up.
MICK: Allow me. Hello.
MICHAEL: (via phone) Josephine.
MICK: It’s for you.
SECTION: CORRIDOR
Nikita meets Walter and they walk together.
NIKITA: Hey.
WALTER: We’re live, Sugar.
NIKITA: What’s going on?
WALTER: Birkoff thinks he’s found the Cardinal.
NIKITA: The head of Red Cell?
WALTER: Twenty years we’ve been looking for this guy and he suddenly surfaces…?
NIKITA: What are you saying?
WALTER: I don’t know. Could be anyone down the Red Cell food chain. Maybe it’s a misread. Birkoff hasn’t slept in days. Oh hell, what do I know? I’m just the boy with the toys.
BRIEFING AREA
NIKITA: How’s Albania?
MICHAEL: I was called back. I haven’t seen you for a while.
Operations, Madeline, Birkoff, and Walter enter.
OPERATIONS: You’ve heard the pre-brief so I’ll short the details. The mission is two-fold. Extract the Cardinal. Eliminate the base camp.
MICHAEL: What do we have on him?
BIRKOFF: Nothing. He’s never been photographed. All we have to go on is a partial.
An image of a man in a black ski mask floats above the table.
BIRKOFF: This image was taken during his evac of a temporary outpost we once raided.
OPERATIONS: It’s the closest we ever got to eliminating the target. He was alerted. We were ambushed.
BIRKOFF: I used a pinpoint diagnostic to create the profile.
The image of the man in the ski mask changes into an approximated face.
OPERATIONS: This is all we have. We are going to layer this sixty. Michael’s team will have point. Birkoff.
BIRKOFF: Because of the target, it is extreme wet wear and hard defense. Each team will need stealth gear. Triple ID tags. Tactical details will be on your panels.
OPERATIONS: We move in one hour. That’s all.
OVERSIGHT
HILLINGER: Get me George.
GEORGE: (via monitor) What is it Hillinger?
HILLINGER: Sir, there has been a convergence at Section One. They are pulling back from all active assignments. Tunneling their manpower.
GEORGE: Why?
HILLINGER: Well, it would seem that Birkoff thinks he’s found the Cardinal.
GEORGE: Has he?
HILLINGER: No sir. He has not.
GEORGE: Then what has he found?
HILLINGER: Well, Cardinal dropped the tag as a diversion. Red Cell does this routinely every six months or so. I guess nobody told Seymour it’s nothing to get excited about.
GEORGE: Are you quite sure?
HILLINGER: Oh, yes sir, quite sure.
OPERATIONS’ PERCH
OPERATIONS: Have we assigned the new contingencies?
MADELINE: Davenport is handling it.
OPERATIONS: The evac points?
MADELINE: Birkoff is downloading the new positions.
VOICE: (via com) Sir, George is on the line.
Operations activates the visual communicator to face George’s image in the screen.
OPERATIONS: Hello George.
GEORGE: Paul. Tell me about this Alpha Team you have going into northern Europe.
OPERATIONS: I’m sending a recon team into the new borders.
GEORGE: The mission has a Q status attached to it.
OPERATIONS: Because of the political situation in the region, we felt dark approach was best.
GEORGE: I know about the Cardinal, Paul. Hillinger looked at the data and came to a different conclusion than Birkoff. It’s a trap. I want the mission scrubbed.
OPERATIONS: We’ve been after this man for fifteen years, George. This is the closest we’ve ever come to getting him.
GEORGE: The Cardinal Mission is grounded.
COMM
OPERATIONS: Hillinger thinks you’re wrong.
BIRKOFF: I’m not.
OPERATIONS: Hillinger is the best there is at surfacing intel and he didn’t find the Cardinal.
BIRKOFF: That’s his problem.
OPERATIONS: You disagreed with him on Madagascar. It resulted in significant casualties.
BIRKOFF: This has nothing to do with Hillinger.
OPERATIONS: Good. Then initiate mobilization and bring back the Cardinal.
Nikita approaches Birkoff once Operations leaves.
NIKITA: We okay?
BIRKOFF: What happens if I’m wrong?
NIKITA: You can’t think that way.
BIRKOFF: Ever since Hillinger came to work here, I’ve been second-guessing myself.
NIKITA: Yeah, he’s good. But so are you. You found the Cardinal. Hillinger didn’t.
BIRKOFF: Yeah and now I’m wondering why he didn’t. What if I overlooked something? I’m about to deploy on the single most important mission Section has ever moved on and I can’t give the command.
NIKITA: Forget Hillinger.
BIRKOFF: I can’t.
NIKITA: You have to.
BIRKOFF: He’s better than me.
NIKITA: Yeah, he’s brilliant. It takes more than analyzing raw data to do this job.
BIRKOFF: What’s that?
NIKITA: Instinct. What does your gut tell you, Birkoff? Is it the Cardinal or not?
A pause. He puts in his earpiece.
BIRKOFF: Bring all teams in. We’re operational.
OVERSIGHT
HILLINGER: Operations hasn’t recalled the Cardinal Mission.
GEORGE: Initiate a Protocol five against him. Effective immediately. He has to be taken out of play.
HILLINGER: No, I wouldn’t do that if I were you. Operations has already sealed his fate by sending his men into a trap.
While he speaks, we see the Section One team prepare for the mission under Operations’ watchful gaze.
HILLINGER: He has to proceed or you have nothing. All you have to do now is sit back and watch him hang himself.
THE CARDINAL MISSION: VAN
NIKITA: How does it look?
MICHAEL: Empty.
NIKITA: Does that make sense? Should we be encountering some form of defensive recon?
MICHAEL: Why?
NIKITA: Birkoff superseded Hillinger’s assessment. We could be sitting ducks.
MICHAEL: That’s always a concern.
COMM
BIRKOFF: First Team is approaching entry point.
HILLINGER: (via com) And what entry point would that be?
BIRKOFF: Hillinger, how did you get on this channel?
HILLINGER: Hey Seymour.
BIRKOFF: I’m in the middle of a mission. (into earpiece) First Team launch tactical.
Flash to the mission van.
BIRKOFF: (via com) Go.
The doors open and operatives exit. Flash back to the interplay between Birkoff and Hillinger.
HILLINGER: You ignoring me?
BIRKOFF: Get off this channel.
HILLINGER: Relax. I’m just here to watch the show.
BIRKOFF: What show?
HILLINGER: Well, you are about to crash and burn.
BIRKOFF: That’s what you think.
HILLINGER: Sorry pal. It’s a fact. Going after someone who ain’t there.
BIRKOFF: Michael, outer layer is clean.
Flash to the mission scene.
OPERATIVES: Go. Go. Move.
Flash to Oversight.
HILLINGER: You know, when all’s been said and done and the blood’s been mopped up, Section will finally see you for the hack I’ve always known you to be.
BIRKOFF: You don’t do your homework, Greg. The relocation orders were sent on a kappa signal.
HILLINGER: I know that.
BIRKOFF: Yeah, but did you know Red Cell layers them? You probably didn’t recycle twice before decoding. (smiles) Greg?!?
Flash to a worried Hillinger.
BIRKOFF: Ah, Greg, are you still there?
Hillinger checks the process on his own equipment.
OVERISIGHT TECH: Sir?
HILLINGER: Not now! (pauses, then to himself) He did it.
BIRKOFF: First Team is in play.
George enters Hillinger’s area.
GEORGE: I spoke with Mr. Jones. He agrees with your assessment. After this is over, I want you to prepare a co-op’d order on Section One. Operations will be removed. Well done.
George exits.
HILLINGER (softly): Oh god….
RED CELL BASE
RED CELL OP: This just came in.
CARDINAL: Where did this come from?
A computer monitor flashes “Warning. Evacuate.”
RED CELL OP: We are not sure. It was put over one of the open channels we monitor.
CARDINAL: Ah, has it been analyzed for integrity?
RED CELL OP: It’s clean. But we’re trying to back channel it now. We believe the message to be valid.
The Cardinal remains silent.
RED CELL OP: Course of action, sir?
Flash to the Section One mission team, outside the building.
BIRKOFF: Okay, you’re clear.
NIKITA: What’s your thermo read?
BIRKOFF: Um, thermal’s frosty. Could be a structural deflect. Move to your final mark. (to self): Come on. You’re there. I know it.
On site, operatives advance without resistance.
OPERATIONS: Where are we Birkoff?
BIRKOFF: (to Operations): One minute sir. (to team): Michael proceed.
OPERATIONS: What’s the problem?
HILLINGER: (via com) Oh, go on Seymour. Tell him you screwed up.
BIRKOFF: I have Michael combing the perimeter. He’ll find them.
Flash to Michael and Nikita. There are no enemies and no Cardinal.
MICHAEL: Birkoff, the Cardinal is not here.
Red Cell operatives pop up from behind the balcony above and begin firing at the Section team below.
BIRKOFF: First Team?
MICHAEL: (via com) First Team engaging hostiles.
Gunfire is heard over the open channel.
BIRKOFF: Second team, in. Advance to your mark and engage. Periphery teams move forward and tighten.
Flash to Hillinger. He smiles, satisfied with Birkoff’s dilemma, removes his earpiece and leaves. Flash back to Section One Comm.
BIRKOFF: (to self) Where are they coming from? (over his com link) First Team? Respond. Anyone?
OPERATIVE: (via com) Second Team engaging hostiles. Under fire.
The audio link suddenly blasts static.
BIRKOFF: First Team?
WHITE ROOM
OPERATIONS: You’ve buried us.
BIRKOFF: No. Someone tipped off Red Cell. They evacuated before we got there. I’m sure of it.
OPERATIONS: ‘Sure of it’ doesn’t count anymore.
BIRKOFF: I can find the Cardinal.
OPERATIONS: It’s too late.
BIRKOFF: I satellite tagged the Red Cell base as soon as I detected it. Anyone going in or out will be marked.
OPERATIONS: How many tags?
BIRKOFF: Two hundred six.
OPERATIONS: Hillinger was right. It was a Red Cell plant meant to cripple us.
BIRKOFF: No.
OPERATIONS: I’m sorry. But I have no choice but to make you pay for this.
The door opens and the Torture Twins enter.
BIRKOFF: If you’d just give me some more time, I can find the Cardinal.
OPERATIONS: You don’t have anymore time.
Flash to van access.
MADELINE: What happened?
MICHAEL: Someone sabotaged the mission.
MADELINE: How can you be sure?
MICHAEL: We detected residual thermal in the Cardinal’s war room. He sent a tactical command minutes before we got there.
NIKITA: The embassy bombing in South Africa this morning.
MICHAEL: The order came from the location Birkoff sent us to.
Madeline leaves, moving quickly. Flash to the White Room.
OPERATIONS: Goodbye Seymour.
BIRKOFF: No. Don’t. Sir, you can’t do this. Don’t. Stop. Sir, I can find him. I can find him!
Operations exits the White Room. The door closes, cutting off Birkoff’s angry pleas. He finds Madeline outside.
MADELINE: The Cardinal may have been on site.
OPERATIONS: How do we know this?
MADELINE: We can trust the command that went out. It had his tactical signature.
Operations quickly opens the White Room door.
OPERATIONS: Elizabeth! Stop!
Elizabeth, the woman, looks up. She has inserted the needle of a green-filled syringe into Birkoff’s neck but pauses before she pushes the plunger home.
OPERATIONS: I need you to run those thermos and analyze all movements. We will assemble a small field team. Birkoff, you have one last chance.
OVERSIGHT
GEORGE: The mission is simple. I want Operations and all sympathizers. A Type One Directive is in effect. Opposition will be dealt with. Any questions? Good. Secure Section One.
SECTION
MADELINE: George is on his way.
OPERATIONS: Has the team been assembled?
MADELINE: They’re on standby. (pause) We should go.
OPERATIONS: You’ve done the numbers?
Madeline nods.
OPERATIONS: What are our chances of finding the Cardinal?
MADELINE: Less than five percent.
OPERATIONS: You’ve been by my side for the last seventeen years. This time I don’t want you coming with me.
MADELINE: You are going to need my help.
OPERATIONS: Remember this place?
MADELINE: The old van access?
OPERATIONS: I remember the first time I came through those doors. Things were so much clearer then.
MADELINE: We all came in that way.
OPERATIONS: How did we get here?
Madeline smiles.
OPERATIONS’ PERCH
OPERATIONS: In less than one hour, Section One will be forcefully relieved of its authority by Oversight. Do not resist. Effective immediately, I am relinquishing command. There will be inquiries. There will be a purge. Anyone closely associated to my leadership will be tainted. Profess your loyalty to George and you might survive. Thank you for your efforts on my behalf.
He exits.
MICHAEL’S OFFICE
MADELINE: You are aware that we are going to need a mobile unit to pursue the Cardinal. I want you two to lead the cell.
NIKITA: Is that an order?
MICHAEL: It’s a request.
NIKITA: (to Michael) She is asking us to do a favor? (to Madeline) When was the last time you did one for us?
MADELINE: If you don’t want to do it, just tell me.
COMM
Walter hands Birkoff a disc.
WALTER: This will keep you off their satellites. (pause) How’s your head?
BIRKOFF: I’m fine.
WALTER: You’re not fine. Take a look at yourself. You are one thousand miles away from here.
BIRKOFF: I have to find this guy.
WALTER: I’ve seen the numbers pal. They don’t look good.
BIRKOFF: I don’t care about the numbers. If I don’t find them, Hillinger will.
WALTER: Oh, stop obsessing about Hillinger. There’s always going to be someone who does something better than you.
BIRKOFF: If Hillinger wasn’t around, Operations would never have strapped me in that chair.
WALTER: Wrong. They don’t care anymore about Hillinger than they do about you. They just want to get the job done.
BIRKOFF: All these years, I’ve seen it happen to so many people. I never thought I’d be marked for cancellation.
MUNITIONS
NIKITA: Why are we doing this?
MICHAEL: We wouldn’t survive under George.
Long pause.
NIKITA: You need this place, don’t you?
Another long pause.
MICHAEL: No.
Michael exits.
MISSION VAN
Birkoff, Madeline, Michael, Operations, and Nikita each work at a station in the back of the van, speaking with others, forming a web of communications all over the world.
MADELINE: We need confirmation on that request.
MICHAEL: You have it.
OPERATIONS: I have it up now.
BIRKOFF: I’ve jammed the satellite.
Nikita speaks to someone in a language other than English.
BIRKOFF: Dark Cover initiated.
Nikita, again.
OPERATIONS: The target is Class One priority.
MADELINE: May I have the coordinates again please?
Michael speaks French to his contact.
OPERATIONS: We are on our own.
NIKITA: I need clear passage into the northern territory.
SECTION ONE
George arrives with support from Oversight, including Hillinger. He stops only when he reaches the Perch, and makes a call on his cell phone.
GEORGE: Section One secured.
SECTION
Oversight operatives have Section people under armed guard. George stands in the Perch; Hillinger is in Comm.
GEORGE: Why haven’t you found him?
HILLINGER: I’m narrowing it down, sir. Birkoff just went online, but he knows I’m looking so he’s piggybacking on a couple a dozen servers.
GEORGE: If the Cardinal is out there, Operations will not find him before we do. Is that understood?
HILLINGER: (to George): Yes, sir. (to himself): Damn it.
MISSION VAN
OPERATIONS: Read it back to me.
NIKITA: No. Hold position. No word.
OPERATIONS: Yes.
MICHAEL: NT scope clean.
MADELINE: So are the regional thermals.
BIRKOFF: I’ve got him.
OPERATIONS: (to person on phone) Hold. (to Birkoff): Are you sure?
BIRKOFF: The Cardinal never moves without a cluster shadow.
OPERATIONS: Location?
BIRKOFF: East grid. I’m downloading to the panels now. We can go to tactical as soon as you give the word.
OPERATIONS: (into phone): We’re moving.
COMM
HILLINGER (to himself, pleased) Hello Seymour.
Hillinger enters the Perch.
HILLINGER: Sir.
GEORGE: You’ve found them?
HILLINGER: You bet I’ve found them and the Cardinal. That’s where they are headed. If we move now, we can get them both.
GEORGE: Dispatch a team. Oversee it personally.
HILLINGER: Yes sir.
Hillinger leaves. Flash to Hillinger and his team at the mission location: an upper-crust residence.
OPERATIVE: Sir, there is no one here.
HILLINGER (via com): What do you mean?
OPERATIVE: There is no resistance.
HILLINGER: (via com) I’ll be right there.
Two cars pull up outside the house. Hillinger’s men climb out and enter the house. Inside, Monique sits at a desk, calmly giving orders though her ear-set.
MONIQUE: We are spread pretty thin in that region.
She is nonplussed by the presence of the operatives.
MONIQUE: We don’t want to move until the intel is confirmed.
HILLINGER: Where is the Cardinal, bitch?
Hillinger points his gun at her head. She ignores him, continuing to give orders.
MONIQUE: Get back to me when your team is in position.
She smiles. Men enter and kill all of Hillinger’s support team. Hillinger drops his gun.
MONIQUE: Thank you boys. That will be all.
They exit, leaving only Monique and Hillinger.
HILLINGER: What is this place? Who the hell are you?
MONIQUE: We have been following you and Mr. Birkoff’s recent activities. I must say I am a little surprised that you were so badly outmaneuvered.
HILLINGER: What are you talking about?
MONIQUE: The man in the next room is not the Cardinal. He is Mr. Jones, George’s boss. Welcome to the Center.
In the next room, a man plays classical piano. But for the elegant clothes, the man playing looks exactly like Mick Schotoppel.
MR. JONES: It’s rather disappointing that Hillinger didn’t turn out to be the operative we thought him to be.
MONIQUE: Perhaps Mr. Birkoff would better suit our purposes?
MR. JONES: Perhaps.
VAN ACCESS
The mission van returns after successfully capturing the Cardinal. George and his guards meet them at van access; Madeline, Birkoff and Nikita walk past him. Michael pauses.
MICHAEL: The Cardinal.
Section operatives take the Cardinal away.
GEORGE: (to Paul) Congratulations. (to his guards) Stand down.
Operations and Michael exit without another word.
WHITE ROOM
The Cardinal sits, strapped in the chair. George, Operations, and Madeline are in the observation room.
GEORGE: Tell me about Cyrus Norasty.
CARDINAL: He’s dead.
GEORGE: Before that.
CARDINAL: He was born in a small village in Norac. At seventeen, after witnessing the murder of his father by death squad soldiers, he formed a small para-military organization that opposed the hard line government.
GEORGE: March 12, 1978. What can you tell me about that date?
CARDINAL: He met Kim Man Jing.
GEORGE: So Norasty supplied the soldiers, Kim gave them the weapons, and you gave them?
CARDINAL: I gave them direction. Direction. Both men started working for me in 1981. The new alliance became known throughout the anti-terrorist community as Red Cell. Red Cell. Red Cell.
Later…
MADELINE: Two days ago, when we attacked your base camp, you were tipped off. By whom?
CARDINAL: Our security team picked up movement.
MADELINE: That’s impossible. We were on dark approach.
CARDINAL: We received a message.
MADELINE: What did it say?
CARDINAL: It told us to evacuate.
MADELINE: Origins?
CARDINAL: We traced it to the Oversight branch of the Center.
GEORGE: He’s lying.
OPERATIONS: He has no reason to now.
Birkoff enters the observation room and hands Operations a panel.
BIRKOFF: We found this on him. It took us some time to decode it.
GEORGE: What is it?
OPERATIONS: A communiqué from his base camp. It came from your office, George.
COMMITTEE
OPERATIONS: The communiqué was back-channeled, bumped off two C-Com satellites. There is no telling who at Oversight leaked the information to Red Cell.
GEORGE: All right. Keep on it.
OPERATIONS: Oh, we will. Center called several times. Mr. Jones wants to know who is responsible.
WHITE ROOM
Birkoff enters the room, a gun in his hand. Hillinger sits bound in the chair.
HILLINGER: Hello Seymour. You know, I’m glad it’s you taking care of this instead of one of the others. After all we’ve been through, it really couldn’t end any other way.
Birkoff points the gun at Hillinger.
HILLINGER: Go on; pull the trigger. Bang, bang. Come on Seymour. This is a big step in your evolution from boy to man. If it was me holding that gun, I’d be eating a sandwich right now.
BIRKOFF: Did you tip off Red Cell?
HILLINGER: Just pull the trigger you coward.
Birkoff readies the gun and holds it inches away from Hillinger’s head. He turns his face away, shutting his eyes. Flash to the Perch; Birkoff enters, still carrying the gun.
OPERATIONS: What is it, Birkoff?
BIRKOFF: Hillinger was never supposed to be recruited. We broke profile only because he can do things no one else can. He’s better than I’ll ever be. We need him alive.
Birkoff sets his gun on the ledge.
OPERATIONS: I’ll take it under advisement.
Birkoff leaves.
NIKITA’S APARTMENT
MICK: Now, did I show you the fabric for my pillow cases?
NIKITA: Purple gabardine.
MICK: Monique says that’s my fabric. It speaks to who I am. You know, strong, bold yet traditional. It also matches my new silk bathrobe.
NIKITA: It sounds like this Monique is really working out for you.
MICK: She is not just a decorator, Nikita. She is a spiritual modifier. You know, you really should give her a ring for a consultation. She’ll change your life. I promise you.
The phone rings.
MICK: I heard Section jumped through a few hoops last week. Are things back to normal?
Phone rings again.
NIKITA: Yeah.
She rises to answer the phone.
MICK: That’s good.
NIKITA: (into phone) Hello. Yeah. (to Mick): I gotta go.
MICK: Oh yeah, me too. I got business to attend to. Things to arrange. Yeah. Bye love.
SECTION
BIRKOFF: What’s up?
NIKITA: Hillinger’s dead. He was just cancelled.
BIRKOFF: They didn’t have to do that.
COMM TECH: Davenport’s team just crossed the border into Korachi.
BIRKOFF: Tell then to hold their position until I sweep the perimeter.
Birkoff goes to his desk at Comm. He picks up his earpiece and puts in on.
BIRKOFF: What channel is he on? (pause) Comm command
online. Perimeter looks good. Davenport…
