:12:01
Damn you for forcing me
into this position.
:12:08
I need to talk to you
right now, alone.
:12:10
Now you told me
I'm on a need-to-know basis.
:12:13
And I'm tellin' you right now,
I need to know who the fuck
John Mason is right now, sir.
:12:18
All right, you wanna know?
1962, J. Edgar Hoover...
:12:22
is head of the FBl,
some say the country.
:12:25
It's no secret he kept microfilm files
on prominent Americans and Europeans:
:12:29
de Gaulle, British members
of Parliament, even the prime minister.
:12:32
I mean, this guy had dirt
on everybody in the world.
:12:35
Yeah, I know all the cloak-and-dagger
stories. Where does Mason fit in?
:12:39
Mason was the British operative
who stole the files.
:12:41
But our Bureau agents caught him
at the Canadian border.
:12:44
Of course, the British claimed
they'd never heard of him.
:12:48
And we held him
without trial...
:12:50
until he gave up the microfilm,
but he never did.
:12:54
Well, I'm surprised Hoover
didn't use his daughter as leverage.
:12:56
Hoover was dead in '72.
She wasn't born yet.
:13:00
Today, well, it's
a different Bureau.
:13:03
So you held this guy without trial
his whole life! No wonder he's pissed.
:13:07
This man knows our most intimate secrets
from the last half century:
:13:12
the alien landing at Roswell, the truth
about the J.F.K. assassination.
:13:16
And Mason's angry, he's lethal,
he's a trained killer.
:13:21
And he is the only hope
that we have got.
:13:25
Mason! Mason!
:13:30
There are 81 hostages
still up there.
:13:32
Yeah, like me.
:13:34
All right, you wanna play tough?
You wanna play tough with me?
:13:37
Okay. FBl!
Freeze, sucker!
:13:42
- I'll fire.
- No, you won't.
:13:46
- Throw down.
- You're not the sort.
:13:49
Let's find out.
:13:54
I could; you, no.
:13:58
Besides, your safety's on.
