:21:02
Remember Operation
Desert Storm?
:21:04
Those surgical hits made by our
smart bombs covered so well on CNN?
:21:08
It was my men on the ground
that made those hits possible
by lasing the targets.
:21:12
Twenty of them were left
to rot outside Baghdad
after the conflict ended.
:21:16
No benefits were paid to their
families. No medals conferred.
:21:21
These men died for their country
and they weren't even given
a goddam military burial.
:21:28
The situation
is unacceptable.
:21:30
You will transfer $ 100 million
from the Grand Cayman Red Sea
Trading Company account...
:21:33
to an account I designate.
:21:35
From these funds, reparations
of $ 1 million will be paid...
:21:38
to each of
the 83 marines' families.
:21:41
The rest of the funds
I will disperse at my discretion.
:21:44
Do I make myself clear?
:21:46
Except for the Red Sea
Trading Company. What is that?
:21:49
- Identify yourself.
- This is FBI Director Womack, General.
:21:52
It's a slush fund where the Pentagon
keeps proceeds from illegal arms sales.
:21:56
Jesus, Frank!
This is classified information.
:21:58
You alert the media,
I launch the gas.
:22:02
You refuse payment,
I launch the gas.
:22:05
You've got 40 hours...
till noon, day after tomorrow...
to arrange transfer of the money.
:22:09
I am aware of your countermeasure.
You know and I know
it doesn't stand a chance.
:22:12
- Hummel from Alcatraz, out.
- [Receiver Slams]
:22:16
[Womack]
All right.
:22:18
We have to identify the hostages
and contact each of their families.
:22:21
Tell 'em somethin'. Make up a story,
and we've got to keep this undercover.
:22:25
If this comes out, the city of
San Francisco will be in chaos.
I am talking anarchy.
:22:29
Wait a minute, wait a minute.
What is the potential casualty rate...
:22:32
for a single rocket armed
with VX poison gas, Gen. Peterson?
:22:36
Sixty or seventy.
:22:38
Well, that's...
that's not so bad.
:22:40
Thousand.
Seventy thousand dead.
:22:44
- Oh.
- One teaspoon of this hits the floor,
:22:47
it's lethal up to...
100 feet.
:22:50
One teaspoon of this shit
detonated in the atmosphere...
:22:53
will kill every living organism
in an eight-block radius.
:22:56
Get the point?
:22:59
What did Hummel mean by
your "countermeasure," General?
