Hi, Garland.
:48:11
Here's the jacket on Cameron Poe.
His wife's on the way here now.
:48:15
U.S. Ranger,
highly decorated.
:48:17
Did a little hell-raising when
he was a kid, but nothing serious.
:48:19
Explain to me
why any of this matters.
:48:21
Fact one. We got a plane up there filled
with killers, rapists and thieves...
:48:23
and we got this guy Cameron Poe,
in on an involuntary manslaughter beef.
:48:26
Non-gang affiliated. He's
a parolee hitchin' a ride home.
:48:30
Fact two. Poe has a chance
to get off the plane.
:48:33
Doesn't do it. Why?
:48:35
Fact three. Our guard, Falzon,
said a convict named Cameron Poe...
:48:39
planted Sims's
tape recorder on him.
:48:41
These are interesting facts.
You do the math on this, and
we got an ally on that plane.
:48:46
Ally? This guy is a criminal.
A murderer.
:48:49
Read the file. Got in a drunken brawl
defending his wife and he killed a guy.
:48:54
Could have happened to any one
of us, including you and me.
:48:55
I am not one
of these animals.
:48:57
Oh, that's original! When exactly
did they all become animals?
:48:59
When they stopped giving a damn
about the law, about civilization.
:49:03
"The degree of civilization
in a society can be judged
by observing its prisoners".
:49:06
Dostoevsky said that
after doing a little time.
:49:09
"Fuck you!" Cyrus Grissom
said that after putting a bullet
in my agent's head. Okay?
:49:14
The issue here is how the plane
is brought down.
:49:16
Shoot it down.
:49:18
Yeah. When exactly did this
become a DEA jurisdiction?
:49:22
The second the DEA agent
was murdered.
:49:25
I am authorized to bring Agent Sims's
killers to justice using...
:49:28
and I quote,
"All necessary means".
:49:30
- That does not include
shooting down my plane.
- Maybe it does, maybe it doesn't.
:49:33
Is that right? Tell me you're
not seriously entertaining this.
:49:36
Vince, this is
a drastic situation we got.
:49:39
-Those are our men up there!
-All of whom signed a no-hostage
clause. They know the score.
:49:42
Who are you to decide the value
of a man's life? There are
innocent people up there!
:49:46
About time.
:49:49
-For what? About time for what?
-Attack choppers. We're going after 'em.
:49:58
Goddamn it!
Skip, don't do this!
