:14:03
Help me out?
:14:06
Spare a quarter? Help me out.
:14:09
The government's taken away my home.
:14:11
Talk to him.
:14:21
Well, if it isn't Robin Hood.
:14:24
I could've joined the NSA, but
they found out my parents were married.
:14:30
We're all friends here, right? Easy, easy.
:14:34
- Want some coffee or something?
- No.
:14:38
- Buddy, is that Janek's file?
- Yeah, Janek's file.
:14:41
This is a mathematician
named Dr. Gunter Janek.
:14:44
Works at a think tank called
the Coolidge Institute.
:14:46
Specializes in large-number theory,
prime numbers, factoring.
:14:49
- Cryptography.
- Very good.
:14:51
Last month, the good doctor
gets a grant, $380,000.
:14:54
Way out of profile for a guy like that.
:14:56
It's our job to be curious, so we traced
the money. Guess where it comes from?
:15:00
- I know you're not gonna say Russia.
- Yeah.
:15:02
Give me a break.
:15:04
We won, they lost.
It's been in a couple of papers.
:15:07
We still spy on them. They still spy on us.
:15:09
We intercepted a fax last week. Here.
:15:11
He's making some kind of box,
a little black box.
:15:15
The project's called Setec Astronomy.
We don't know what Setec stands for.
:15:18
- Security technology...
- Sensor techniques, who knows?
:15:21
It may be nothing or it may be something.
And we need to know.
:15:25
Your job is to find that little black box.
Let us take a look at it.
:15:29
No way.
:15:30
Sorry, Marty.
:15:32
We don't have a lot of choice here.
:15:36
- Do it yourself.
- We can't.
:15:37
By law, we're not allowed
to do this kind of operation.
:15:40
Then get the FBI.
:15:42
Yeah, right, the FBI.
:15:44
The FBI can't work for us without approval
from a congressional committee.
:15:48
- We don't have the time.
- So why me?
:15:50
- Frankly, because we...
- Yeah, frankly.
:15:54
Marty, sit down, please.
:15:58
Frankly, because it's kind of illegal.
