All right, you wanna know?
1962,J. Edgar Hoover...

1:14:08
is head of the FBI,
some say the country.

1:14:10
It's no secret he kept microfilm files
on prominent Americans and Europeans:

1:14:14
de Gaulle, British
members of Parliament,
even the Prime Minister.

1:14:17
I mean, this guy had dirt
on everybody in the world.

1:14:21
Yeah. I know all
the cloak-and-dagger stories.
Where does Mason fit in?

1:14:24
Mason was the British operative
who stole the files.

1:14:27
But our Bureau agents caught him
at the Canadian border.

1:14:30
Of course, the British claimed
they'd never heard of him.

1:14:33
And we held him without trial
until he gave up the microfilm.

1:14:37
But he never did.
1:14:39
I'm surprised Hoover didn't
use his daughter as leverage.

1:14:42
Hoover was dead in '72.
She wasn't born yet.

1:14:45
Today, well, it's
a different bureau.

1:14:49
So you held this guy without trial
his whole life. No wonder he's pissed.

1:14:53
This man knows our most intimate
secrets from the last half-century:

1:14:57
the alien landing at Roswell,
the truth about the JFK assassination.

1:15:02
And Mason's angry, he's lethal.
He's a trained killer.

1:15:05
And he is the only hope
that we have got.

1:15:10
Mason! Mason!
1:15:15
There are 81 hostages
still up there.

1:15:18
Yeah. Like me.
1:15:20
You wanna play tough?
You wanna play tough with me?

1:15:22
Okay, FBI!
Freeze, sucker!

1:15:26
- I'll fire.
- No, you won't.

1:15:30
- Throw down.
- You're not the sort.

1:15:34
Let's find out.
1:15:40
I could; you, no.
1:15:43
Besides,
your safety's on.

1:15:46
Goodspeed, have you
resolved the situation?

1:15:49
[Gasps]
1:15:50
Not yet.
1:15:52
He's got
all the guns now, sir.

1:15:55
Shit!
1:15:57
You're right, I don't use guns
and I don't kick down doors.
This is what I do.
