Civic Duty (2006)

1. These guys could be the same ones

2. fighting America's enemies here at home

3. or anywhere in the world.

4. .. deadly virus.

5. ..to protect the populace against the deadly virus..

6. .. warn residents way in advance.

7. ..is a small price to pay..

8. .. biological weapons attack..

9. citing new intelligence,

10. The Department of Homeland Security today

11. gave the official okay

12. to drop the threat level from orange to yellow.

13. The drop, announced early this morning

14. by the Secretary of Homeland Security,

15. was the first lowering of the alert status

16. in nearly two months.

17. However, the Department continues to urge

18. state and local officials, transportation authorities,

19. and the general public

20. to remain alert,

21. as most, if not all, the recent attacks abroad

22. have come without warning.

23. An estimated $290 billion in assets

24. and their highly coveted 1,600 branches

25. in 22 states,

26. while keeping its Boston-based headquarters'

27. status intact.

28. A company with assets of over $1.8 trillion dollars.

29. The deal comes with a steep price

30. for the combined workforce of 128,000,

31. with as many as 20,000 employees

32. expected to lose their jobs

33. when operations are integrated.

34. Early this morning,

35. five former officials

36. of the Holy Land Restoration Foundation,

37. once the biggest islamic charity

38. in the United States,

39. have been arrested on charges

40. funneled millions of dollars

41. to islamic fundamentalists and plotters

42. in the middle east and across the globe.

43. More specifically,

44. to private individuals and organizations

45. situated in the United States,

46. linked to fundamentalist activity.

47. Founding members of the charity,

48. which first came under investigation by the FBI,

49. are suspected of devising a scheme

50. to funnel money to fundamentalist organizations

51. who support jihad..

52. Tonight, we are a country

53. awakened to danger

54. and called to defend freedom.

55. Next, please.

56. Our grief has turned to anger.

57. Next.

58. .. and anger to resolution.

59. Next, please!

60. Whether we bring our enemies to justice,

61. or bring justice

62. to our enemies,

63. justice will be done.

64. - Hi. - Hello, sir.

65. How can I provide you with excellent service today?

66. I'd just like to deposit this.

67. Certainly.

68. Did you know, sir, in the future,

69. you can also use the ATM machine

70. just outside the front doors

71. and avoid the wait in line

72. for a teller?

73. Yes, I did. Thank you.

74. A lot of our customers prefer that option, actually.

75. Really?

76. Mm.. hmm.

77. Do you know what 'ATM' stands for?

78. Um.. automatic..

79. Automated Teller Machine.

80. Right.

81. So when you say 'ATM machine'

82. what you're actually saying

83. is 'Automated Teller Machine machine.'

84. Now, either you're just being ignorantly redundant,

85. or you really

86. want to emphasize that 'machine' part,

87. in which case,

88. you're not really providing very personal care

89. or excellent service, are you?

90. You just want to..

91. talk to customers,

92. do some script that your manager set up for you

93. to sell some program, or something like that,

94. or get fewer tellers behind the line

95. so they'll go outside and use the ATM?

96. Is that it?

97. Listen, I'm really sorry.

98. I just, uh..

99. I'm sure they just tell you to say that,

100. and it's your job, so..

101. I've had a long day.

102. I apologize.

103. Did you want that deposited into your checking

104. or savings account, sir?

105. Checking, please.

106. You're home early.

107. What are you doing?

108. I'm just standing here like an idiot.

109. Looking at the house.

110. Mm.

111. Maybe I could put some of these

112. in the front yard.

113. Add a little color,

114. maybe some daisies at the side.

115. That'd look pretty great, don't you think?

116. Yeah, yeah, it sounds real nice.

117. I can't wait.

118. Do you still want to go

119. to my sister's cabin this weekend?

120. They're not going to be there.

121. It'd just be the two of us.

122. Get some wine and stuff

123. on my way home tomorrow.

124. Oh yeah.

125. Do you remember that photo I took of the redwoods?

126. Yeah.

127. Well, this publisher saw it today,

128. and he said it was really good.

129. Sounds great.

130. I know. It's great.

131. It's great news.

132. I got laid off today, Marla.

133. What?

134. I got laid off.

135. What happened?

136. I don't know.

137. Downsizing, software improvements,

138. whatever.

139. But they just hired you.

140. Yeah, they did, but..

141. I don't exactly work in a specialized field, do I?

142. I'm going to take

143. some of those wedding gigs.

144. Mm..mm. Yeah.

145. No, they've been coming to me, and..

146. No, no, no, you do your thing.

147. I am going to get another job.

148. A better job.

149. I'm sorry.

150. They're dumb people.

151. It's okay, you know?

152. We've gone through this before,

153. and we'll just.. it's going to be okay.

154. It will.

155. The Federal Reserve today

156. Issued a fresh warning to investors

157. to the dangers of the false sense

158. of the economy's

159. stretch and flow interest rates.

160. The chairman cautioned that extended periods

161. of low credit risk

162. have sometimes been followed

163. by abrupt reversals and a dramatic fall

164. in the prices of risky assets.

165. While not identifying the risky assets,

166. the chairman,

167. in a separate report last monday,

168. emphatically warned the nation

169. about the perils

170. of home-owners and lenders

171. using aggressive mortgages.

172. While low mortgage rates

173. powered home sales to record highs

174. four years in a row,

175. home prices have nevertheless skyrocketed.

176. However, the Fed has been

177. gradually raising rates

178. to keep inflation in check.

179. With this latest warning,

180. the chairman stressed that a widespread cooling

181. in the housing market

182. could be right around the corner,

183. exposing both borrowers and lenders

184. to significant losses.

185. The United States financial services industry

186. has given birth to yet another mega-bank,

187. and the new team of First International..

188. 'Self-Starter.'

189. 'Team player.'

190. Team-Fucking-Player.

191. Hey.

192. Were you out here all night?

193. Do you think the stereotype is true?

194. What stereotype?

195. That accountants are boring?

196. I know, I'm not my job,

197. but does my job make me boring?

198. Yeah, I think it does.

199. Tsk, yeah, that's what I thought.

200. You are a boring guy, Terry.

201. That's why I love you.

202. Everybody knows that women prefer

203. accountants over rock stars.

204. Why do you have to bring him up all the time?

205. That was before we even met.

206. I'm just kidding.

207. You are not a boring man to me, Mr. Allen.

208. Hey.

209. I gotta go.

210. All right. Bye.

211. Next.

212. Hi.

213. Can I help you?

214. To mail these. All right.

215. Are you interested in our commemorative stamps?

216. No, thank you.

217. We have beluga whales, legends of jazz,

218. holiday cookies.

219. I just want to mail these.

220. All right.

221. For future reference,

222. you can purchase postage in the lobby

223. and just drop it in the slot out there.

224. That's good to know. Thank you.

225. - Have a nice day. - You too.

226. .. forsaking our friends.

227. They stand against us

228. because we stand in their way.

229. There are thousands of these terrorists

230. in more than 60 countries.

231. They're recruited from their own nations

232. and neighborhoods

233. and brought to camps

234. in places like Afghanistan,

235. where they are trained

236. in the tactics of terror.

237. They are sent back to their homes

238. or sent to hide in countries

239. around the world

240. to plot evil and destruction.

241. That well-dressed man

242. in the street

243. might not be who you think he is.

244. With holiday celebrations and major sporting events

245. right around the corner,

246. the United States government

247. dispatched scores

248. of casually dressed nuclear scientists

249. to scour five major U.S. cities

250. for radiological,

251. or so-called 'dirty' bombs.

252. What are you doing?

253. Getting a shot

254. of the handsomest number-cruncher in the world.

255. Yeah?

256. You want to see my calculator, baby?

257. You know I do.

258. Yeah. Yeah?

259. Well, why don't I just whip it out?

260. Oh, yeah.

261. All right, all right, I feel like an asshole.

262. That's enough.

263. So, how was your first day of freedom?

264. Got some resumes out.

265. You know.

266. Crunched the mortgage numbers a little.

267. Saw the apartment downstairs got taken.

268. You see who it was?

269. Oh, you didn't see him?

270. 'Cause he sure saw you.

271. What's that supposed to mean?

272. Who's he?

273. I don't know, some middle eastern-looking guy.

274. What?

275. What, I called him middle eastern?

276. He is middle eastern.

277. Okay.

278. Wait. So if I saw him in a crowd

279. And I wanted to let you know

280. who I was referring to,

281. how would I do it then?

282. Would you prefer

283. that I said 'the raghead'..

284. 'the camel-jockey'?

285. Terry!

286. - 'The sand nigger'? - Shut up!

287. Ooh, he's a nigger

288. who lives in the sand.

289. - Terry, stop it. - What?

290. He can probably hear us.

291. Oh, he can't hear us.

292. I think he'd prefer to be called

293. - 'the middle eastern guy' don't you? - I don't know.

294. Well, call him whatever you want,

295. but that guy sure was a fan of your ass.

296. Check it out.

297. Chicka-chicka-bow chicka-bow-bow?

298. Chicka chicka-bow-bow?

299. Gone are the days

300. of identity thieves

301. going through your private mailbox.

302. They are now finding their jackpots at one source..

303. computers stored

304. in your pediatrician, general practitioner

305. or dentist's office.

306. The very institutions

307. that collect your personal information..

308. What would you think

309. if I told you that our new neighbor

310. was digging around in the trash at 3:00 in the morning?

311. What?

312. And I didn't tell you this either,

313. but he didn't seem

314. to have a lot to move in..

315. just a couple duffel bags and a small mattress.

316. You watched him move in?

317. Well, it was just a couple trips

318. up the walkway,

319. but doesn't that seem a little odd to you?

320. The guy rents a full-size apartment,

321. has nothing to put inside it?

322. He's probably just struggling to make ends meet.

323. Yeah, maybe.

324. Probably.

325. Anyway, it's none of our business.

326. Seems a little weird to me,

327. that's all.

328. Well, if it's so weird,

329. Why don't you go introduce yourself to him, then?

330. Come on.

331. Why not?

332. At least then you can stop calling him

333. 'the middle eastern guy' okay?

334. All right.

335. Yeah?

336. Yeah. Good.

337. I don't have to bake him a cake, do I?

338. That's a good idea.

339. Have a beautiful day.

340. .. vital services.

341. Now thousands of records can be stolen

342. with the same level of risk involved in a home invasion.

343. The 25-count indictment unsealed yesterday

344. charges the charity organization

345. used hospitals, islamic committees,

346. student and other organizations

347. controlled by fundamentalist organizations

348. in the middle east

349. to direct money to plotters

350. of extremist causes.

351. Law-enforcement officials

352. and the attorney general's office claim

353. the arrests represented one of their most..

354. What are you doing?

355. Hey.

356. You scared me.

357. What's that?

358. Uh, nothing, I just..

359. Look, he drives a long-term rental car, Marla.

360. So you met him, then?

361. No, I didn't,

362. but just listen to me, all right?

363. He made a call on a pay phone

364. even though he had a cell phone on him.

365. Yeah?

366. And he works at a copy center

367. with other middle eastern men.

368. Only middle eastern men.

369. You were following him?

370. No, I wasn't following him, I just saw him and..

371. Look, what do you want me to say?

372. Doesn't this sound kind of suspicious to you?

373. Marla?

374. Where're you going?

375. Hey! What are you doing?

376. Marla.

377. What the hell was that all about?

378. His name is Gabe Hassan.

379. That is what we will call him

380. from now on.

381. He moved here

382. to finish his master's degree.

383. Yeah.

384. Yeah, so he's probably budgeting his living

385. on student loans and his copy job.

386. Probably can't afford a car

387. or a land line,

388. and maybe his cell phone ran out.

389. You don't know that.

390. Neither do you.

391. So unless this guy leaves his apartment

392. with a warhead on his back,

393. he is just our neighbor,

394. and it is not our problem.

395. Yeah, I bet you just can't wait

396. to borrow a cup of sugar from him, too.

397. What's that supposed to mean?

398. That you want to replace your fetish for rock stars

399. with jihadists?

400. I think that's very 'now' of you.

401. You've got way too much time in your hands, Terry.

402. You need to get a job,

403. or we're going to lose that house.

404. By law, they are unable

405. to invade a place..

406. Hey.

407. To target only mobs..

408. If you don't want

409. to meet our neighbor,

410. you don't have to.

411. But could you call the loan officer today

412. about the house?

413. Just find out where things are?

414. Yeah, okay.

415. Maybe watch a little less of that today?

416. Hi, this is Terry Allen.

417. I submitted an application

418. for your CPA position a couple of weeks ago?

419. Okay.

420. How can I help you, Mr. Allen?

421. Just making sure that you received it.

422. Well, I'm sure we have it on file.

423. All applications go straight

424. to our Human Resources Department.

425. Do you know when you might be hiring?

426. I couldn't say for sure.

427. Maybe next week?

428. Would you like me to transfer you

429. to Mr. Roberts?

430. He's reviewing all the applicants.

431. Mr. Allen?

432. Mr. Allen?

433. Uh, yeah?

434. Would you like me to transfer you?

435. Yeah, that's great.

436. Just wanted to let you know

437. that I'm still interested in the position.

438. Okay. Please hold.

439. Information.

440. Yes, could I have the number for the FBI, please?

441. The number is 1-800-877-3927.

442. Thank you.

443. Thank you.

444. FBI.

445. Hi.

446. Uh.. I'm not..

447. I'm not really sure if I should be calling or not.

448. I just was wondering if there's somebody there

449. I could just.. just talk to about a situation?

450. Would you like me to transfer you

451. so you can file a report, sir?

452. Special agent Hilary.

453. You filed a report this morning?

454. Yeah.

455. Mr. Allen?

456. Yes, sir.

457. Do you mind if I follow up for just a bit?

458. Thank you.

459. But, um, how do you know who I am?

460. Your license plate number.

461. Right.

462. You guys work fast.

463. Yeah.

464. Excuse me, sorry.

465. Hi. Ahem.

466. Yeah.

467. I'm going to pick 'em up.

468. I'm going to pick 'em up.

469. I know.

470. I'm going to pick 'em up,

471. Because..

472. Be..

473. Okay. Ahem.

474. I love you, too.

475. Sorry.

476. Okay, um..

477. So this guy you called about,

478. you say he lives in unit number two,

479. is that correct?

480. On the ground floor. Er, two.

481. And you said he was a middle eastern guy,

482. yeah?

483. Yeah.

484. Look, I know you must get

485. a lot of calls like this, right?

486. Most of them turn out to be nothing?

487. Yeah, but we got to go through them all.

488. You know, I'm sorry, I don't know

489. if I should have called, I just..

490. Why did you, then?

491. Well, he seems to fit the profile

492. a little too well, you know what I mean?

493. The profile?

494. Yeah, you said he was interacting

495. with other middle eastern men.

496. Is that what you mean?

497. Yes, sir.

498. You said he leads a minimalist lifestyle.

499. Yeah. I.. he..

500. You said he was throwing the garbage out

501. at odd hours.

502. Yes, sir. 3:00 AM.

503. 3:00 AM?

504. You were awake, or did he wake you up?

505. I was awake at the time.

506. Did you talk to him?

507. Did you meet him?

508. No, sir, but my wife did.

509. Does she share your concerns?

510. Yeah. Pretty much.

511. Did she have

512. any other kind of exchange with him?

513. No.

514. Did you have any other kind of other interaction,

515. any kind of late-night feuds..

516. music too loud, anything like that?

517. Uh, no, sir.

518. Okay.

519. What did you say you do for a living, Mr. Allen?

520. I'm an accountant.

521. Accountant, okay.

522. We will run a check

523. and see if anything comes up.

524. Really?

525. Is there anything I should do in the meantime?

526. No, just keep an eye out.

527. If you see anything imminent,

528. give us a call.

529. You know, it's funny.

530. When I graduated from college, I almost applied to the bureau.

531. Really?

532. Yeah, it was just kind of a whim, though.

533. A whim?

534. Yeah, me too.

535. Thank you very much

536. for your concern, Mr. Allen.

537. You have a nice day.

538. Thank you.

539. Hey.

540. Come here.

541. Just.. don't turn any lights on.

542. Just come here.

543. What are you doing?

544. Just come on.

545. What are you doing?

546. Just.. come here.

547. I need you to just listen to me, okay,

548. and don't get upset.

549. All right?

550. What is it? What?

551. Look, an FBI agent came by here today,

552. and he wanted to ask me some questions

553. about our neighbor downstairs.

554. How did he know

555. about our neighbor downstairs, Terry?

556. Did you call him? Did you?

557. - Yeah, I did. - You called the FBI?

558. The FBI!

559. They considered the report valid..

560. For God's sake, Terry!

561. Okay, and they're running

562. a background check on the guy.

563. Great.

564. They're probably running

565. a background check on us, too.

566. Come on, what?

567. We got some pot in the house

568. or something?

569. Why do you insist on making this our problem?

570. We have enough problems as it is, Terry.

571. Well, we don't always get to choose

572. our problems, Marla.

573. Sometimes we do, Terry.

574. Did you call the loan officer today?

575. If this guy downstairs

576. is responsible for killing innocent people

577. and we didn't do anything to stop it,

578. you'd just be okay with that?

579. No, of course not,

580. I wouldn't be okay with that, but..

581. Okay, this FBI agent, what did he say?

582. Well, he wants us

583. to continue monitoring him.

584. Us two, but not him.

585. Look, the guy gets a lot of calls, Marla,

586. all right?

587. We all have to be the eyes and ears now.

588. The what?

589. What did you say?

590. Okay, I need to know what you're going to do.

591. What do you mean?

592. How far are you going to take this?

593. Well, I don't know.

594. You don't know?

595. Well, I need to know.

596. Well, I guess I'm going to do whatever I have to.

597. Whatever you have to?

598. What about us, Terry?

599. What about the house?

600. I am doing everything that I possibly can!

601. I've sent out resumes.

602. There aren't any more jobs.

603. I went to the bank today, like you asked.

604. I talked to the loan officer to restructure the loan,

605. and he wouldn't buy it, all right?

606. So what else do you want from me?

607. Well, maybe if you weren't up here all day long,

608. spying on your neighbor

609. like some paranoid right-wing whack-job,

610. we wouldn't have lost the fucking house!

611. That is not what I'm doing!

612. Yes, you are, Terry!

613. And you know what?

614. Just because they're paranoid

615. doesn't mean they're wrong.

616. I mean, in case you forget, Marla,

617. this shit has happened.

618. People, they've overlooked their neighbors,

619. and shit has fucking blown up.

620. Thank you for the fucking recap.

621. What are you doing?

622. Going out.

623. - Where are you going? - Out.

624. Yeah, say hi to your sister for me.

625. With the holy month of Ramadan approaching..

626. Hello?

627. Jenny, it's Terry.

628. Hi, Terry.

629. Sorry to bother you.

630. Is Marla there?

631. No, not at the moment.

632. Do you know where she is?

633. No. No, I don't.

634. Is she okay?

635. Not really.

636. Well, could you just let her know that I called?

637. Yeah, I'll tell her.

638. The announcement

639. coming on the heels of last month's

640. torching of a mosque in Sussex county,

641. on mosques and the Muslim community

642. over the past year,

643. yet some of the attendees believe

644. the city's new measures..

645. God. What am I doing?

646. Hello?

647. Hello?

648. Hello?

649. You have two new messages.

650. Hello?

651. Omar?

652. Shit.

653. Shit, shit, shit!

654. Mr. Allen.

655. Agent.

656. Is everything okay?

657. Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.

658. You sure?

659. Yeah.

660. Just some personal stuff.

661. Just, uh.. times have been a little rough.

662. You wanted to talk about something?

663. Uh, yeah.

664. You ever hear of money structuring?

665. Making low-profile deposit? In multiple bank accounts,

666. different institutions,

667. splitting up large sums of money,

668. earning huge returns in interest

669. without anybody knowing about it?

670. Is that what you think Mr. Hassan is doing?

671. Well, he's got several boxes full of ATM deposit envelopes

672. in his closet..

673. and based upon his lifestyle,

674. I think that these accounts

675. belong to this organization that he's involved with,

676. the Sons of Benevolence.

677. He's also got some sort of chemical process

678. going on in there.. beakers,

679. and, uh, tubing.

680. There's this clear liquid that he has stored in these tubes,

681. that smells like.. and it's sweet,

682. like almond flavoring or something.

683. Chemical process?

684. Yeah.

685. Does he have a bunsen burner in there

686. and a whole lab set up?

687. No, I wouldn't call it a lab, but there's..

688. almond flavoring, like for cooking?

689. That's what it smelled like, but I don't know what it is.

690. I just want to be clear about one thing.

691. You were invited in, right?

692. You were a guest in his house?

693. I knocked on the guy's door, it kind of opened,

694. and based upon what I could see inside,

695. I thought that I should call you, and..

696. Did I ask you to act as an informant for the FBI,

697. Mr. Allen?

698. You asked me to keep an eye on him.

699. I didn't ask you to break the law, did I?

700. You can't just walk into someone's apartment.

701. I know that, but I felt like, under the circumstances..

702. No, sir. No, sir. Under no circumstances.

703. For you, under no circumstances.

704. Well, then, why don't you do it?

705. Get a search warrant.

706. You can discover these items for yourself,

707. because something's going on.

708. Let me explain something,

709. Mr. Allen.

710. Unless there is an emergent circumstance

711. suggesting imminent danger,

712. we are obliged to follow

713. certain guidelines and procedures

714. pursuant to

715. the United States constitution.

716. This is still a free society.

717. I can't be this make-believe guy..

718. Bust down every door and shoot someone

719. 'cause I think he might be a bad guy, okay?

720. Neither can you.

721. I don't want to be doing this.

722. No, I just lost my job,

723. my wife walked out on me.

724. We're about to lose the house we wanted.

725. I'm sorry for your troubles, Mr. Allen.

726. I really am,

727. but you need to let the FBI

728. handle this investigation,

729. and if you enter his house again,

730. I'm going to have no choice

731. but to put you under arrest.

732. Look at me when I'm talking to you, Mr. Allen.

733. I need to know

734. that you understand what I'm saying here.

735. Yeah.

736. Okay.

737. Thank you.

738. ..now that the deadly strain

739. of the influenza virus

740. has jumped from animals to humans.

741. The strain also appears to be slowly

742. acquiring the genetic changes

743. characteristic of the Spanish flu virus

744. that killed 50 million people

745. nearly a century ago.

746. Preparing for the worst,

747. the president announced

748. the addition of billions of dollars to our budget

749. to build a stockpile of drugs

750. to fight the threat

751. of the newly identified virus.

752. Most, if not all, U.S. drug makers

753. have stopped making flu vaccines,

754. but health officials warn

755. that not having a reliable supply

756. of the vaccine

757. is treading on very dangerous ground,

758. as it's the best way to contain

759. the ever-nearing deadly virus.

760. FBI.

761. Yes, agent Hilary, please. This is Terry Allen.

762. He's not in.

763. Would you like voice mail?

764. No, I will try back later.

765. According to a most recent census bureau study,

766. more immigrants entered the United States illegally

767. last year

768. than those who were granted legal status.

769. The study attributes the historical decline

770. in legal migration

771. to the federal government's reduction

772. in the number of refugee visas

773. and a slowdown..

774. Yes, can I speak to agent Hilary, please?

775. Yeah, this is Terry Allen.

776. Well, listen, I think somebody broke into my house.

777. Look, can you just tell agent Hilary

778. to call me, please?

779. Thank you.

780. ..1.1 million,

781. with roughly 575,000 estimated

782. new illegal immigrants

783. living within our borders.

784. Uh, yes, agent Hilary, please.

785. Yeah, I know that. Uh, yes, agent Hilary, please.

786. Are you done yet?

787. Because you're the agency on record here,

788. and if this guy does something, if people get killed,

789. their deaths are going to be on your head.

790. Not mine, not the local police,

791. but yours..

792. And I am going to make damn sure that happens!

793. Since the United States declared its war

794. against those who threaten our daily security,

795. the federal government has come under criticism

796. that it's not doing enough.

797. Governor Nancy Bradley is one of those critics,

798. and she joins us now.

799. What part of our conversation are you not getting, Mr. Allen?

800. Did.. did you get my message?

801. He broke into my house.

802. I thought I told you to let us handle this.

803. Did you just hear what I said?

804. I don't give a fuck what he did!

805. You are interfering with FBI business,

806. and now you're harassing my office?

807. If you ever threaten this agency again,

808. you're going to find yourself in some serious shit!

809. Look, I didn't mean to..

810. You want to be the subject of this investigation, is that it?

811. You want us to tap your phone?

812. You want us to put a tail on you?

813. Put a tail on your wife?

814. This is fucking unbelievable.

815. The person you should be..

816. I don't owe you an explanation, Mr. Allen!

817. Stay out of my business!

818. Think you're having a hard time

819. finding a job now?

820. You think you're having a hard time

821. finding a house now?

822. You wait until you have a federal arrest on your record.

823. This is your final warning, sir.

824. ..so that we prevent the bombs from going off

825. rather than just cleaning up afterwards.

826. Yeah?

827. Hey. I'm your neighbor from upstairs.

828. And how can I help you?

829. I just wanted to come by,

830. see if we could clear a few things up.

831. Like what?

832. You know, the whole window thing.

833. Oh.

834. Apology accepted, then.

835. That's not what I meant.

836. What, then?

837. You want me to keep my curtains closed?

838. You know what?

839. I'm not sure why I came down here.

840. If you're having problems with your wife, man..

841. I'm sorry.

842. Yep?

843. What did you just say?

844. What?

845. About my wife?

846. You like to stare at me all day long.

847. I can see why she's mad.

848. I mean, look, if you prefer men,

849. you should really

850. just tell her, man.

851. You know, if this..

852. What the fuck did you just say to me,

853. you piece of shit?

854. What did you just say?

855. What did you just fucking say?

856. Get.. get up against the fucking wall!

857. Get back!

858. Get your hands by your sides.

859. And don't fucking move.

860. What are you looking at?

861. Get down.

862. What?

863. Get the fuck down.

864. Get the fuck down!

865. Okay. Okay.

866. Now, put your hands behind your head.

867. Put your hands behind your head!

868. Oh, you're not such a smart-ass now, are you?

869. Sit down.

870. Sit down.. get up and sit down!

871. Tie your foot to the chair.

872. Wrap it around.

873. Hand it to me.

874. Look, I apologize if I have offended you.

875. You broke into my house.

876. You left the shower on in my bathroom

877. so that I'd know you made it through all my shit.

878. Oh, what, you don't remember that?

879. Well, here, let me help you.

880. It was the same day that I was inside your place.

881. I was right back there,

882. inside your closet.

883. You know I was.

884. And I've got to say,

885. you've got a lot of interesting shit lying around.

886. Can't we be rational about this?

887. Sure.

888. Yeah, let's be rational.

889. Who are you working for?

890. What do you mean?

891. Who are you working for?

892. Don't you tell me 'Copy Central.'

893. I'm not going to buy that shit.

894. Just what do you think I am?

895. Huh?

896. What is that?

897. You must be kidding.

898. I'm doing my master's in environmental studies.

899. This is for my lab experiments.

900. What about these?

901. They're for handling prussic acid.

902. It's a corrosive.

903. I'm actually extracting it from the tap water.

904. For what?

905. For my thesis.

906. Bullshit.

907. - Yeah. - Yeah?

908. What about those?

909. Envelopes?

910. I don't know what you're getting at.

911. You know what I do for a living?

912. What?

913. I'm an accountant.

914. You know what that means?

915. You stare at spreadsheets all day long?

916. Fuck you!

917. It means that I get money trails.

918. Kind of like the one

919. that you structured with the Sons of Benevolence.

920. Oh..

921. The Sons of Benevolence?

922. They are a distributor of Zakat money.

923. It's like..

924. charity.

925. They're just paying for my scholarship.

926. That's it.

927. Okay.

928. Acid, huh?

929. From the tap water?

930. Yes, prussic acid.

931. Purification plants all over the world

932. carry the same process.

933. I assure you,

934. nothing will happen.

935. Terry?

936. Yeah.

937. Yeah, I'm out here.

938. Hey.

939. Where were you?

940. Huh?

941. Are you okay?

942. Yeah.

943. Mm.. hmm.

944. Are you sure?

945. What are you doing back here?

946. You never returned any of my calls.

947. Where did you come from?

948. I was just outside.

949. What?

950. What's going on?

951. Nothing.

952. Marla!

953. Marla?

954. Marla, stop!

955. Don't go in there.

956. Go to your sister's.

957. I will call you tomorrow.

958. What are you doing, Terry?

959. - Nothing. - What did you do?

960. Nothing. Now, just get going.

961. What did you do?

962. I said, get going!

963. I'm sorry.

964. He broke into our house.

965. You should see

966. all the shit he has in there!

967. I'm right about him. I know I am.

968. I just need some more time.

969. Just..

970. I'll call you later.

971. Just go!

972. Now.

973. Now! Go!

974. 5:30 in the morning.

975. Who's calling you?

976. Hello?

977. It's for you.

978. Hello?

979. Is this Mr. Allen?

980. Who's this?

981. I'd like to ask you

982. to please step to the window.

983. I said who is this?

984. Please step to the window, Mr. Allen.

985. We have a perimeter established

986. around the building.

987. Over here!

988. Mr. Allen.

989. My name is lieutenant Randall Lloyd,

990. and I don't think there's any reason

991. why we can't come to a peaceful resolution here.

992. If, at any time,

993. you want to release

994. Mr. Hassan and yourself over to us for questioning,

995. no harm will come to you,

996. I promise you that.

997. Mr. Allen.

998. Hello?

999. Mr. Allen, are you there?

1000. Tell me, what do you need?

1001. Mr. Allen?

1002. I need some more time.

1003. Okay. For what?

1004. I need more time.

1005. How many are out there?

1006. More than six?

1007. Come on, Mr. Allen.

1008. What are you going to do?

1009. Are you going to stay in there all day?

1010. The whole week?

1011. You do not want to get

1012. bogged down in this, trust me.

1013. Really?

1014. Terry?

1015. Terry.

1016. I won't press charges against you

1017. if you let me go.

1018. We can say..

1019. I thought you were breaking in.

1020. That I panicked and pulled the gun on you.

1021. Nobody needs to know what happened in here.

1022. Look, take the bullets

1023. out of the gun,

1024. and put it in my hand

1025. so it has my fingerprints on it.

1026. We'll just say it was a big misunderstanding.

1027. Come on.

1028. Come on, man.

1029. You can be

1030. with your wife tonight.

1031. Come on, Terry.

1032. So, what?

1033. It's either I'm going to jail,

1034. or you're going to kill me?

1035. Is that your plan?

1036. Yeah, yeah.

1037. Like that's going to stop them.

1038. Apparently you're about to receive some money.

1039. It's my scholarship payment schedule.

1040. Wow.

1041. This is pretty expensive for a state school.

1042. Tell me about it.

1043. What?

1044. The checks come to more than double

1045. what your tuition is.

1046. I assure you, it's not what you think it is.

1047. Then what is it?

1048. What is it?

1049. Nothing. They're just helping me out here.

1050. Oh, okay.

1051. Then I'm sure you won't mind explaining that to the FBI.

1052. Lieutenant!

1053. Lieutenant, if you want to end this,

1054. get agent Hilary from the FBI down here.

1055. This isn't FBI jurisdiction, Mr. Allen.

1056. Just get him down here!

1057. Wait!

1058. Why won't you talk to me?

1059. Just get agent Hilary!

1060. You know what?

1061. What if I were what you think I am?

1062. Hmm?

1063. What? You would be good, and I would be evil?

1064. You would be just, and I would be a criminal?

1065. Is that what you think?

1066. Well, think about it.

1067. What would you do

1068. if your wife were taken away from you?

1069. Or a hundred pieces of your wife were taken away from you?

1070. While she was cooking your dinner?

1071. Fucking Tomahawk missile.

1072. What would you do?

1073. Wouldn't you seek revenge?

1074. Wouldn't you try to honor her murder?

1075. Huh?

1076. Would you consider yourself evil if you did?

1077. What would you do?

1078. We're just talking about 'what ifs' here, right?

1079. That woman in the picture, is she your wife?

1080. Is she still with us,

1081. or did that missile really take her out?

1082. What would you do?

1083. I think you should go join the military

1084. instead of taking it out on me

1085. like some vigilante.

1086. What?

1087. Too risky?

1088. The front lines

1089. are only for the poor kids?

1090. Are you a coward, Terry?

1091. You? Are you a coward, Terry?

1092. I didn't realize that striking a bound man

1093. was an act of bravery.

1094. Oh, but cutting off the heads of handcuffed women is?

1095. Oh.

1096. You want to go there?

1097. Tell me about Vietnam.

1098. Panama.

1099. Cuba. Chile.

1100. Well, what do you want me to do?

1101. El Salvador!

1102. Grenada. What do you want me to do?

1103. Haiti.

1104. I don't fucking care!

1105. Somalia.

1106. Lebanon. The Shah of Iran.

1107. I don't fucking care! Did you hear me?

1108. Afghanistan.

1109. God! You stupid fucking idiot!

1110. I am not my country!

1111. I don't get to vote on foreign policy!

1112. I can't control anything!

1113. What about Palestine?

1114. I don't care!

1115. Well, you should care.

1116. It's about time you care.

1117. Shut up!

1118. Shut up!

1119. Just shut the fuck up! Shut the fuck up!

1120. Shut the fuck up!

1121. Shut up!

1122. Shut up! Shut up!

1123. You shut up!

1124. Quiet!

1125. Mr. Allen?

1126. We have your wife outside.

1127. She wants to talk to you.

1128. Terry?

1129. Take it easy. Move slow.

1130. Hey.

1131. Did you do this to me?

1132. Did you call them?

1133. Happening here, Terry.

1134. An open line of communication?

1135. Nice coaching job there, Lloyd.

1136. Okay, the point is, Mr. Allen,

1137. you've still got a chance here.

1138. You can put a stop to this right now.

1139. Get your life back together.

1140. You've got a chance.

1141. Why don't you come on out here and talk to me,

1142. Tell me what's going on? Come on.

1143. Yeah, sure.

1144. Just let me throw some shoes on. I'll be right out.

1145. Terry, come on.

1146. This isn't you.

1147. Just let these guys handle this.

1148. How could you do this to me?

1149. Your wife is genuinely concerned about you, sir.

1150. Yeah, and I'm worried about her, too.

1151. Why do you think I'm doing this?

1152. You had a gun, Terry.

1153. I'm sorry.

1154. I didn't know what else to do.

1155. Get Hilary down here.

1156. Terry.

1157. Terry! Terry!

1158. Come on. Come on.

1159. Let me go see him.

1160. Don't touch me. Let me through.

1161. I'm going inside. Cover the door.

1162. Move! Move! Move!

1163. Mr. Allen.

1164. It's agent Hilary.

1165. Well, tell those officers to get back.

1166. They're not coming in.

1167. You wanted to talk to me, right?

1168. And I want everybody around the building

1169. to back off, too!

1170. They're not coming in, Mr. Allen.

1171. They fall back.

1172. It's just me.

1173. Okay?

1174. Well, move away from the door.

1175. Move to the window!

1176. Okay, I'm here.

1177. Mr. Allen, I'm not a hostage negotiator.

1178. Well, I could use your help here.

1179. Can you just listen to me?

1180. Yeah, I can listen to you,

1181. Mr. Allen, yeah.

1182. I have more evidence

1183. about the money structuring

1184. this guy's involved in, all right?

1185. And I want you to take that evidence,

1186. I want you to use it,

1187. and I don't want to hear any crap

1188. about what you can and you can't do.

1189. On the roof.

1190. Hilary!

1191. Okay.

1192. I just need to know that Mr. Hassan is okay.

1193. You're going to have to take my word for it.

1194. Well, I'm not gonna take anything

1195. unless I know for sure.

1196. I want to see that Mr. Hassan is okay.

1197. Then we have nothing left to talk about.

1198. Okay, okay, okay!

1199. Wait, Mr. Allen.

1200. I did some more work on his disbursement schedule

1201. from the Sons of Benevolence,

1202. and there is more than double

1203. the amount of his tuition fees coming in.

1204. Now, that money is going somewhere.

1205. They are a legitimate educational organization.

1206. They are not now, nor have they ever been,

1207. a sponsor for for extremist activities.

1208. I do not know what the extra money is for.

1209. It could be for any number of things,

1210. but Mr. Hassan

1211. is a model student.

1212. He's a clerk at a copy center.

1213. He is not someone that we are concerned about.

1214. You're wrong.

1215. Am I?

1216. You just want this to go away, don't you?

1217. Yeah, I do.

1218. Mr. Allen, I want it to go away,

1219. But I assure you

1220. that the information we have about Mr. Hassan

1221. is accurate. It is correct.

1222. Well, what about all this chemistry equipment?

1223. What about the deposit envelopes?

1224. Well, why don't you let me come inside?

1225. Then I can take a look at them.

1226. We can talk to Mr. Hassan together, okay?

1227. You and I.

1228. How did you get here so fast?

1229. I'm sorry?

1230. You've been calling the shots all along, haven't you?

1231. Oh, I get it.

1232. You want me to take the heat for this, don't you?

1233. How else are you going to get out of this?

1234. I called you.

1235. You didn't act fast enough.

1236. It doesn't matter whether I'm right or wrong,

1237. You're going to wind up smelling like shit.

1238. That's not true.

1239. You're just here covering your own ass.

1240. Mr. Allen, listen to what you're saying.

1241. Fuck!

1242. This is your last chance.

1243. I want to know

1244. who you're working for.

1245. I want to know

1246. who you're working with,

1247. I want to know their names,

1248. and I want to know where they can be found.

1249. I swear to god, I told you everything!

1250. I want to know their names,

1251. and I want to know where they can be found,

1252. and I want you to tell me right now.

1253. You don't want to tell me?

1254. What are you doing?

1255. Tell me.

1256. Tell me the truth.

1257. Tell me now. Tell me the truth.

1258. Tell me the truth right now. Just tell me the truth.

1259. Just tell me, and tell me right now.

1260. Tell me now.

1261. Please don't do this.

1262. Tell me.

1263. Please.

1264. Tell me right now.

1265. Go, go, go!

1266. Put the gun down!

1267. Put the fucking gun down!

1268. He's moving down the hallway.

1269. Go to the back.

1270. Drop the gun!

1271. Mr. Allen, we have the building surrounded!

1272. Mr. Allen!

1273. There's nowhere to go!

1274. Mr. Allen, it's agent Hilary out here,

1275. just me, and I'm unarmed.

1276. Nobody else.

1277. It's quite a mess we've gotten ourselves into.

1278. Mr. Allen,

1279. You were right.

1280. I didn't act fast enough.

1281. And I assure you,

1282. I will look at the envelopes,

1283. I will look at the beakers as soon as we're done here.

1284. Look, Mr. Allen,

1285. I don't know what you have in your mind

1286. as to the way things work here,

1287. but I don't think

1288. this is as simple as it looks.

1289. You don't think I want to be that guy

1290. that busts down every door?

1291. I want to be that guy

1292. that knocks down every single door

1293. to keep our citizens safe,

1294. to keep our families safe.

1295. I want to be that guy,

1296. and it frustrates the hell out of me

1297. that I can't,

1298. and it makes me very angry.

1299. I know you can understand that.

1300. I'm just saying.

1301. Why? Why was that?

1302. You said some threatening things

1303. to your boss, right?

1304. What about the job before that?

1305. You were fired from that one, too.

1306. Right?

1307. You couldn't let it go.

1308. Well, they were wrong!

1309. They were wrong,

1310. and that made you angry.

1311. This is no different.

1312. He pissed you off.

1313. I didn't listen to you.

1314. You got angry, you acted compulsively.

1315. That we can deal with..

1316. We can get you the help that you need.

1317. I don't need any help!

1318. Your wife thinks you do, Terry.

1319. Terry, your wife thinks you do.

1320. Come on, put the gun down.

1321. Put the gun down.

1322. We'll get you the help that you need.

1323. I said I don't need any help.

1324. You do not want to do that.

1325. That goes against everything you stand for.

1326. I don't know what.. You don't know what I stand for.

1327. You pull that trigger, you become a terrorist.

1328. Is that what you want?

1329. Is that what you want?

1330. Now, j..j.. just..

1331. Put the gun down.

1332. Just put it down.

1333. Terry!

1334. Hey!

1335. Hold her back!

1336. Terry!

1337. And welcome back.

1338. Good crowd here today.

1339. The leader here at eight,

1340. from off the green,

1341. with a putter in his hand.

1342. Let's just see how he plays this.

1343. Ah.. yes!

1344. He's got it!

1345. Todd Olson, four under,

1346. bogey-free,

1347. and within four of David Alcarros,

1348. in the lead here in our final round.

1349. Well, we mentioned that after this week,

1350. we go out to hardy park next week

1351. in San Francisco

1352. for the world's golf championship.

1353. It was at hardy park some 40 years ago,

1354. at the greater invitational,

1355. which was the first victory for George Archer.

1356. Terry?

1357. It's 10:30.

1358. It's okay.

1359. It's the same as yesterday.

1360. The winner of the 1969 Masters

1361. the tallest ever tour champion,

1362. not only goes to him that victory,

1363. but over a dozen PGA tour titles,

1364. 19 championships..

1365. There you go.

1366. He has played in 999 PGA tour championships,

1367. and the hip injury that bothered George

1368. at age 20..

1369. They told him he'd be in a wheelchair..

1370. But he persevered, fought through,

1371. and played so well..

1372. Some late-breaking news coming in now

1373. regarding the mysterious deaths last Tuesday.

1374. The 12 fatalities were caused

1375. by ATM deposit envelopes

1376. from banks across the city,

1377. the most recent fatality

1378. originating from an ATM envelope

1379. at First International Bank.

1380. It appears the envelopes'

1381. lickable seals have been found

1382. to contain free cyanide,

1383. which is extremely lethal.

1384. The source of the cyanide

1385. appears to be prussic acid,

1386. and investigators speculate

1387. it was mixed with the glue on the envelopes' seals.

1388. At this point,

1389. it's still not clear

1390. exactly where these envelopes came from.

1391. As the FBI and police officials

1392. continue their..

1393. It appears he's trying not

1394. to put any spin on the ball.

1395. Just hammer it.

1396. It isn't clear just how widespread

1397. the danger may be.

1398. They are also requesting if anybody has any information

1399. on where these envelopes may have come from,

1400. please contact the FBI

1401. or your local police department.

1402. Illegal immigrants..

1403. And all that lies before us..

1404. May God grant us wisdom,

1405. and may he watch over the United States of America.
