A collection of dramas concerning the secret service and the military. Includes THE INTERPRETER, THE GOOD SHEPHERD, and A FEW GOOD MEN.
In THE INTERPRETER, Silvia Broome is an interpreter who works at the UN in New York City. One night, while collecting a bag she has left behind in the building, Silvia overhears a whispered conversation in which an assassination attempt on a redoubtable African leader is planned during his future visit to the UN. Secret service agent Tobin Keller conducts an investigation when Silvia explains what she has heard. He quickly discovers that Silvia has a lengthy, troubled past as a citizen from the same country as the African leader, and immediately doubts her story.
THE GOOD SHEPHERD tells an epic, fictionalised account of how the CIA was born. Edward Wilson, a reserved young man who graduated from Yale in the late 1930s, is recruited to help the government on covert operations.
In A FEW GOOD MEN, a top Navy lawyer who has never even seen the inside of a courtroom is asked to look into a murder case. Two marines have been arrested for killing a fellow marine in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Both marines maintain that they were issued a Code Red - an official order by their Platoon Commander to 'help retrain' a less than perfect recruit. What follows is an investigation into the workings of the military.
