1:21:00
...but l submit his equal
in skill and resolution...
1:21:03
...is code name ''Marta.''
1:21:05
Another veteran of the
anti-Noriega resistance.
1:21:09
For cover purposes, she is
employed as accountant receptionist...
1:21:13
...by our own Panamanian head agent...
1:21:15
...the redoubtable Buchan.
1:21:18
lf l may say so, Elliot,
a ''Silent Opposition''...
1:21:21
...doesn't send radio messages.
1:21:24
Half don't possess telephones.
1:21:26
Why else would they call
themselves silent?
1:21:29
They're a life-force, not an embassy.
1:21:32
Fishermen...
1:21:35
...small farmers, peasants,
have-nots, penniless students.
1:21:38
People we wouldn't
entertain in the woodshed.
1:21:41
So why should we support them, Henry?
1:21:44
Because if we don't,
someone else will.
1:21:47
Because the Silent Opposition is
the new Panama in the new millennium.
1:21:51
And getting in with these chaps...
1:21:53
...is the sweetest, cheapest
way of saving the canal.
1:21:57
Do you think personally,
this Abraxas is...
1:22:00
...presidential material?
1:22:03
Scotty.
1:22:04
Abraxas is world-class.
Courageous...
1:22:07
...unsullied, incorruptible.
1:22:10
A man to dream of
when you're shaping nations.
1:22:25
But Abraxas can't go it alone.
He needs our support now.
1:22:29
lf U.S. military assistance
is guaranteed...
1:22:31
...Abraxas and his forces will
launch an attack on the government.
1:22:35
They'll commandeer the radio stations
and the Canal Administration Office.
1:22:39
Subject, of course,
to advance payment...
1:22:42
...for arms, equipment
and medical supplies.
1:22:46
How much?
1:22:48
The sort of money you boys
leave under the plate, Elliot.
1:22:52
-How much?
-Twenty million dollars.
1:22:59
Elliot, may l say a couple
of words, please?
