Mr. Gates, I don't make policy,
but I do enforce it.
:17:16
So they're shutting me down.
:17:18
Hey, you knew it was
a black ops contract.
:17:22
The administration found out about it.
They want it to go away.
:17:25
Well, you need to make them understand
the signifiicance of what we're doing.
:17:29
Look, Gates, I supported you on this
as long as I could...
:17:33
but they've got a point.
:17:35
What if one of the Saddams of the world
gets his hands on this stuff?
:17:38
The fact is, he can waltz
right through an entire army...
:17:41
plant an A-bomb
in the president's bathtub...
:17:44
and all our smart bombs and satellites
would be useless to stop him.
:17:47
I'm not even fiinished
building it...
:17:49
and they have me selling it
on the black market?
:17:52
Mr. Gates...
:17:54
the NSA expect your research,
your equipment...
:17:57
the whole shooting match crated
and ready for pickup on Monday.
:18:00
And if I'm not ready?
:18:03
We're taking it
whether you're ready or not.

:18:27
Have a nice day, Henry Gates.
:18:31
You all right?
:18:33
Yes. Why?
:18:56
- How's he doing?
- Seems okay.
:18:58
But he wrote that
a half hour ago.
