Back in Washington, they discover a mole has been leaking US secrets. Soon he is on the tail of Ethan Ross - a man who thinks he''s too smart to ever get caught.

But Ross has many more secrets on a micro-drive and when he decides to run, it''s not just Caruso and the FBI on his trail.

The Russians and a few angry terrorist groups will do anything to get to Ross - and the vital information he carries.

So it''s up to Caruso to get to Ross first...
