Where is shooter set

He then makes his way to a garage where he forms a makeshift IV with the items. Meanwhile, Memphis receives a call from the store owner, who suspects that her customer was Bob Lee Swagger. He presents it to another agent, who shoots it down.

In his office, Memphis re-watches footage of the assassination and begins printing documents. He tells her he didn't shoot the president, but she tells him that the archbishop has been killed instead. He pleads with her, telling her that he didn't come the distance he did to lie, and that if she is going to shoot him then she needs to do it quickly because he has nowhere to go.

She tells him to put the truck in the garage, then picks up a phone while he's gone and calls , but quickly hangs up. Bob Lee returns, and calls back, to which she gives an excuse. She asks how to help and he tells her he needs stitches and gives her a shopping list.

He then talks about how the time since Donnie was killed seems like longer than three years. The next morning, Memphis' colleague Alourdes Galindo meets him at the office, seeing that he never left. He explains that he did research on Swagger's prior shots and notes that information regarding the assassination came into the FBI's possession at a rate that makes no sense. He shows a target displaying five shots Bob Lee made at 1, yards, which had a spread of 1.

At 2, yards, he concludes, Bob Lee would not have missed with such a low wind. He then tells her that Timmons' story about seeing a rifle barrel from outside the window of the building didn't make sense, as snipers take shots from cover inside the room, and says he's going to talk to him. She tells him that Timmons had been murdered the night before, in an apparent mugging.

Sarah returns to Bob Lee with the contents of his list, and he walks her through the surgery she's about to perform. He inhales the compressed air from cans of whipped spread in order to pass out, and she begins to perform on his wounds. Meanwhile, Memphis observes the scenes from which the shooting took place, and he notices evidence of a tripod having been used rather than a human shooter. Johnson demands results from his team, to which Payne says that he could have just "crawled into a hole and died," but Sczerbiak interjects that Bob Lee is not dead.

Johnson orders them to "tear apart his life, again. In a local doughnut shop, Memphis anonymously chats with a gun expert regarding the tripod, and is given a link to a precision weapon system. While Sarah cleans his wounds, Bob Lee asks if she has a boyfriend, wondering if he would have to worry about anyone intruding on them and discovering him. He prepares to leave, with something in mind for Memphis. As he packs, Sarah brings him a rifle used by Donnie during his youth.

He says he will need her help with his plan, and she agrees without even knowing what it is. He sees a photo of Donnie, and tells her that he is to blame for Donnie's death. She slaps him, saying that he knew what he was doing when he enlisted and trained, and that Bob Lee has nothing to feel bad about. They hug, and she begins to cry. The next day, Sarah drives toward a meeting place with Memphis, staged by Bob Lee in order to draw Johnson into the open.

She arrives in a short, blonde wig and exaggerates her accent during the meeting, and tells him that Bob Lee has been staying with her. She gives him photos of the stolen truck's plates and its VIN before leaving. As she makes her way to her car, two officers recognize Bob Lee and ask for his ID. When he refuses, they become hostile and he silences them before escaping. At the office, Memphis sneaks into an off-limits area and runs the numbers he received, which require a security clearance he does not have.

In Isaac's office, Dobbler informs him that two suspicious and corresponding activities came from a doughnut shop and the Philadelphia FBI office within the last day, and they narrow the possibilities down to Nick Memphis, the only person to meet with Bob Lee before his escape.

Memphis talks over the phone with Galindo, and she describes a company that has its hands in places they shouldn't be. As he walks, a black van pulls up beside him and abducts him, leaving his phone behind. The abductors have Memphis bound, attempting to flush the drugs out of his body before they kill him in a staged suicide. They rig the machine and put his gun into his hand, but before the gun reaches Memphis' head, one of his captors is shot in the back of the head.

The second hides behind Memphis, but is shot anyway. The third, Davis, walks into the boathouse to see what is taking so long, and is shot before he can escape.

Memphis struggles to see as Bob Lee approaches, and is cut out of his trap. Now aware that he was used as bait, he tries to persuade Bob Lee to hire a lawyer and work things out with the FBI. He refuses, and persuades Memphis to join him in taking them on. Sczerbiak discusses the failed attempt to kill Memphis with Johnson, and Dobbler enters with information about Bob Lee's yearly gift of flowers to Sarah on the anniversary of Donnie's death. He sends Payne to find her. In Athens, Tennessee, Memphis and Swagger arrive at the home of a renowned gun expert.

They enter his home, and he asks them what they're looking for. Bob Lee asks if a round can be fired from one rifle, but matched to another, which he confirms. The man asks Memphis to retrieve an old book from his shelf, which contains information on a technique called paper patching, in which a bullet wrapped in paper is unraveled as it exits the barrel, leaving it untraceable to the original rifle.

Bob Lee asks if there is anyone alive who can make a 2, yard shot like the one at the archbishop, and he names Bob Lee Swagger as the most likely. He asks for another, and the man describes a brutal shooter who would "shoot to wound. Bob Lee realizes that he's talking about Sczerbiak, and leaves. Memphis calls Galindo from a payphone and asks her to find out where Sczerbiak lives.

Meanwhile, Johnson tells Sczerbiak that they plan to use him as bait to lure Bob Lee into their sights. Memphis calls once again, and she tells him that Sczerbiak is in Virginia. Johnson walks through the rain with Senator Charles Meachum and tells him that Bob Lee is still alive, and asks if he can get a plane containing 24 soldiers and supplies through Customs with no scrutiny, to which he agrees.

He tells Johnson to kill him before walking away. At her house, Sarah begins undressing when she hears a noise from outside her room. As an intruder comes into her view, she shoots him in the chest with a shotgun, but is taken by surprise by Payne, who disarms her and asks where her boyfriend is.

In Lynchburg, Virginia, Memphis and Swagger plan their assault on Sczerbiak's residence, and both realize it to be a trap. They go to a local hardware store and fill their carts with equipment with which they create tear gas, napalm, pipe bombs, and camouflage apparatus. Bob Lee trains Memphis with a rifle. Meanwhile, Payne holds Sarah captive. The next day, Bob Lee and Memphis begin their assault. Memphis spots while Bob Lee closes in on Sczerbiak's cabin, which is surrounded by armed men.

Bob Lee makes his first kill silently, then sets up a napalm trap around the perimeter. He continues setting the napalm after the second kill, then retreats to the woods, where he makes his third. His fourth is less quiet, but he makes his way into the house before anyone can see him.

He approaches Sczerbiak, who is looking outside in wait. Bob Lee questions him about Johnson's real name, but no name Sczerbiak knows is any more real than the others. Regarding why they went to so much trouble to recruit him, he tells Bob Lee that the wounded are easier to control and dispose of, and that he was a result of the same tactics.

Bob Lee asks why the archbishop was shot, and is told that he was going to speak "the truth, that nothing, no matter how horrible, happens without the approval of government. After being double crossed for the attempt and on the run, he sets out for the real killer and the truth. Bob Lee Swagger : I don't think you understand, these boys killed my dog. Sign In.
