The Firm

A man in a business suit holding papers and a briefcase runs urgently towards the Lincoln Memorial. Two scary-looking guys are following Mitch McDeere, so when he slams into a pedestrian, he quickly scoops up his papers and keeps running... right into the reflecting pool. Mitch hightails it through the pool to the street, where he hops into the bed of a passing pickup truck, effectively evading his captors. As soon as he can, he hits a pay phone to call his wife Abby. This is a Code Red, and she needs to get out. He can't explain because "they" might be listening. Right now, she needs to follow the emergency plan. He'll meet up with her as soon as he can. It's happening again. Mitch proceeds to a room in The Westin Hotel to meet nervous Daniel Moxon, who sniffs anxiously. Realizing Mitch is wet, Moxon knows he was followed.
