The Intervention

They then look at each other in consternation.

The Doctor recognizes the significance of this place since he saw this near the beginning of the movie.

Inquirer recognizes this place from the text of the book she'd downloaded and read years ago.

Both recognize the licence plates of the man before them....and both know that they just can't stand idly by and let things go without them having a hand in it!

But even as they decide that, they know that perhaps for some, it's already too late.

Hammersly is dead, and going back and changing the fact would create more problems than it would solve. That's the reason why Time Lords don't do that sort of things (uh....at least not very often unless they belong to a small...lunatic fringe Time Lord group called the Paradox Faction).

And as for Zavitz, he'd been driving off in his van when our couple had noted his license plates....and then seen the mess across the lake and realized what was going on here.

It may be too late for Zavitz as well, but then again, Inquirer and the Doctor have a few possible leads from the movie.......

Meanwhile, at the same time back on the other side of the lake.....

Again, taken from the script Enemy of the State a Touchton Pictures movie; ORIGINAL SCRIPT AND STORY BY DAVID MARCONI (Copyrighted to them).

BINGHAM moves to get a view of the vans plates and dials a number a number on his mobile.

BINGHAM: I need a ten twenty seven on a brown and tan seventy five DMC Jimmy, DC tags eight kilo six three nine four, I need a ten twenty eight on a registered owner.

We see HICKS walking on a catwalk and down some stairs. The agency is full of people and computers. HICKS presses his thumb on a scanner and enters REYNOLDS' office, REYNOLDS is on the phone.

REYNOLDS: Dick, please do not give me optimistic numbers, I hate optimism, I want to know how many votes we have in the bank aren't going to change our minds every time the wind blows... Thank you!

REYNOLDS hangs up the phone. HICKS picks up a remote and points it to a screen. He pulls up a file on ZAVITZ.

HICKS: We may have a problem down at the lake. This is Daniel Zavitz, he's a nature photographer with some government grants, one of them is for monitoring migratory patterns of Canadian Geese or lack thereof. The box is called a 'hide', It contains a motion-activated digital video camera with a compound lense, It was aimed directly at the boat ramp across the lake.

REYNOLDS gets out of his seat and looks out his window. There is a reflection of a big TV screen outside.

REYNOLDS: We need two taxies with full electronic capabilities, two Humpty Dumbdies. Get Fiedler to organise it, and call Kramer to get us some ex-military cutouts.

HICKS: How do I describe the project?

REYNOLDS turns around and sits back down.

REYNOLDS: Call it a training op, post adhere, setup a link with the NRO.

HICKS: That's good.

REYNOLDS: Falsify FBI approval and none of this goes behind our team and get that video tape.

BLOOM: How did you get the tape?

ZAVITZ: My conservation study at the lake photographed the murder.

BLOOM: You're kidding me!
