00:242.15 a.m., nothing yet.
00:27What a surprise.
00:29Oh, and a note for Janet, the next time some idiot from the government shows up with
00:34a UFO scare, remind me to be someplace else, as the faculty does not need a government
00:40grant this much.
00:43I should be home in bed.
00:49Oh, I've had Janet for future reference.
00:52The motel here has cockroaches.
01:02Oh, my God.
01:07I've just seen it, a streak across the sky, 10 miles out to sea.
01:12I estimate 100 miles in less than a second.
01:16Here comes another one.
01:19Seems to be turning.
01:21My God, it's coming straight at me.
01:23Oh, my God.
02:32Sure, this is Professor Rickard's voice?
02:33Absolutely, sure, Minister. We have a matching voice print.
02:36What was he doing exactly?
02:37There have been five separate so-called UFO sightings in the Wilmington area.
02:41Now, Professor Rickard's job was simply to observe and then report. No more.
02:46He is now in hospital, seriously ill, unlikely apparently to recover.
02:52Think he can make the charges stick?
02:54With your evidence and ours, he'll be lucky they don't throw away the key.
02:56Hey, you lousy feds. You're a dead man. All of you.
03:01Well, from one dead man to another.
03:04Thanks, Chris. Pleasure.
03:05You too, Sam.
03:06Always glad to help the FBI.
03:07My people know your faces!
03:09Look, if you guys want to hang around for a couple of days...
03:11We thought we'd take in New Orleans.
03:13Yeah, Mardi Gras. I've never seen it.
03:14Oh, you'll like that.
03:15Wherever you go, they will find you!
03:19Minister, do you know of any defense project which might produce such an effect?
03:25A weapon system, you mean?
03:26Blinding people or badly burning them.
03:29Yeah, okay.
03:30Oh, wait, Chris.
03:31Yeah?
03:32Who's doing the paperwork on the arrest? The FBI or us?
03:34The feds. We're doing Mardi Gras.
03:36Mardi Gras?
03:37Yep. Getting away from Malone.
03:39And you want me to tell him?
03:40Yeah, it's your job.
03:43Thanks a lot.
03:45This happened in America. Why didn't you ask the Pentagon?
03:48Oh, I did, Minister, this morning.
03:49And?
03:50Well, they were as puzzled as we are. So was NASA.
03:52There's your answer.
03:53With all due respect.
03:56It isn't an answer.
03:57Yes?
04:00The Texas drug baron, sir.
04:02Curtis and Keel say it's a wrap.
04:04I tell them to get to Wilmington, will you?
04:05They're asking for two days off, sir.
04:07Mardi Gras.
04:09Mardi Gras.
04:10You tell them to get to Wilmington and contact Miss Backus now.
04:14Sir.
04:19Minister, you know.
04:20And I know.
04:21That governments share certain secrets.
04:23Secrets they wouldn't think of sharing with anyone else.
04:26CI-5, for instance.
04:28Not at my level, Mr Malone.
04:30You have the ear of the Prime Minister.
04:32He in turn speaks regularly with the President of the United States.
04:37So, you want me to find out if we have such a weapon?
04:40Well, let me put it this way, Minister.
04:42If we do not have such a weapon, then either we have come face to face with a brand new
04:49enemy,
04:51or the aliens really have landed.
04:56I can't promise you an answer, Malone.
04:58You understand that?
05:10Mr Spencer, have you heard from Miss Backus yet?
05:12She's due to check in at 7.30 our time.
05:15I could call her if it's urgent.
05:16No, no.
05:17You don't want to compromise her cover.
05:19Get me Mr Curtis and Mr Keel, will you?
05:21I'm talking to them now, sir.
05:22Put them on the loudspeaker.
05:25Mr Spence, you still there?
05:27Look, tell Malone we need a weekend off.
05:30Tell him we've got malaria.
05:31Tell him...
05:32All you need tell him is when you are in Wilmington.
05:35There are numerous flights out of Texas.
05:38Be on the next one.
05:47I trust you've got all that.
05:49Yeah, yeah.
05:52Well?
05:53No Mardi Gras?
05:54No Mardi Gras.
05:58Spence says Backup's already there, deep cover.
06:01Is this beginning to sound like overkill to you?
06:03Overkill?
06:04Yeah.
06:05You, me, and Backup.
06:06The three of us for one UFO.
06:08Don't joke about it.
06:09The guy was permanently blinded.
06:10Yeah, but not by a UFO.
06:12It's what the newspapers say.
06:13Do I detect a closet believer?
06:18Sam, is it the job that made you into a cynic or is it written into your DNA?
06:21Oh, come on.
06:23Aliens?
06:24UFOs?
06:25Give me a break.
06:26I saw one once.
06:28What?
06:29In the Navy.
06:30We're at 40,000 feet, Mach 2.
06:32Suddenly there's big lights hovering alongside of us.
06:34One second later, it's 20 miles ahead, then pow.
06:37It's gone.
06:38Where were you?
06:40Bermuda Triangle?
06:41Something like that.
06:43Next exit.
06:44Airport's on the left.
06:45There have been a number of sightings beyond Wilmington.
06:48Kenya.
06:50Egypt.
06:51Spain.
06:52All the same description, sir?
06:53Yes, always the same.
06:54A flash of light at great speed across the sky.
06:57Freak weather conditions?
06:58Electric storms?
06:59Professor Ricard is not the sort of man who sees a flash of light in the sky and thinks it
07:03is a spacecraft.
07:04He happens to be one of the best astrophysicists at MIT.
07:07So what do you think he saw?
07:08I have no idea what he saw.
07:10It is our job to find out what he saw.
07:13Concentrate on all sightings of a similar kind throughout the world in the last five years.
07:18Carry on.
07:32Dr. Davison?
07:33Yes.
07:34Sam Curtis, CI5.
07:36Chris Keel.
07:36Don't you people ever coordinate your activities?
07:39We've had the CIA, the FBI, and now you.
07:41My patient is deteriorating.
07:43He is fighting for his life.
07:45If I had the power, I'd ban all of you from the building.
07:47Sorry, doctor, but now we need to see him.
07:49Dr. Forrest, dial 118, please.
07:52Dr. Forrest, please dial 118.
08:16Professor Rickard.
08:21Professor Rickard.
08:22Professor, we're from CI5.
08:24Professor, we need to know what happened.
08:30Can you tell us what you saw?
08:39Space?
08:43Space.
08:46Space.
08:49Light beyond atmosphere.
08:53Space.

15:09but what if they're hostile
15:11they're not
15:12so what happened to the scientist
15:14the usual government cover-up they do it to anyone who makes contact they take them away and keep them
15:19under wraps
15:20i'd say he's in oregon by now
15:22what magazine did you say you work for again
15:24the new truth have you never seen it on the stands
15:36hey you're famous
15:41should have been here yesterday
15:44they were all here cnn cbs just about everybody
15:47shame what happened to the old professor then
15:50i heard all that they found was his shoes
15:54what can i get you guys
15:59sir
16:01what is it
16:02this is like walking through molasses
16:04there have been over 9 000 reported incidents
16:07unexplained objects lights in the sky in the last five years
16:09but most of them are just rambling accounts
16:12i was medically examined in a spaceship that kind of thing
16:14and how many tally with professor ricard's description
16:17some come close but they're all different
16:19and it was scorched earth or grass
16:21one guy claimed a whole field was burnt but it's uncorroborated
16:25blindness medically confirmed
16:27not so far
16:28all right just leave them all with me i'll read them later
16:31sir can i ask a question
16:35there are many books on ufos
16:37hundreds of magazine articles
16:38and all they ever seem to have is a couple of blurred photos
16:40there could be a comet or a frisbee or anything
16:43nobody ever seems to get a decent picture
16:45or comes back with a souvenir
16:47that was a statement
16:48what's your question
16:50well
16:51shouldn't we be looking for something man-made
16:53like a weather control experiment
16:54or a weapon of some kind
16:56that is exactly what i have been doing
16:59for the past three hours
17:04if i find out anything
17:06sir
17:06you'll be the first to know
17:34you'll be the first to know
18:05you'll be the first to know
18:11Let's go.
18:19Let's go.
18:44It probably equals the risk I'm running, inviting you here.
18:48Shall we eat?
19:09You must forgive my routine, but there have been two attempts on my life this year alone.
19:20Now, tell me about the merchandise.
19:29How long have you been a journalist?
19:31Long enough.
19:33Now that I've met you, I'm going to get new truth every month.
19:37You mean I won't be riding into a black hole?
19:43Your friend's taking his time, isn't he?
19:46Here.
19:48Take his beer.
20:11I can't wait to read your article on Professor Ricard.
20:16So what are you planning to say?
20:17The truth, of course.
20:19He made a sighting and the government kept him quiet.
20:21Isn't that what you believe, too?
20:24Sure.
20:26Yeah, they do it all the time.
20:28The next thing you know, they'll be telling us he died in the hospital.
20:56It's accurate to within six feet.
21:00From 22,000 miles?
21:02That's incredible.
21:04I was working on an even more accurate version when they canceled the program.
21:08Against moving targets.
21:09That's right.
21:10Even the threat of it scared the Russians.
21:12They couldn't match it, so we won.
21:13The Soviet Union just gave up.
21:18Your country has much to thank you for, Doctor.
21:21They don't see it that way.
21:24What is your price?
21:25Five hundred million dollars.
21:31Coffee.
21:50Why don't you come back with us to keep the vigil?
21:54You think they're going to come back tonight?
21:56Who knows?
22:02Yes, Undersecretary.
22:03I know it is three o'clock in the morning.
22:05My God, I know it's three o'clock in the morning.
22:08But I need to speak with her urgently.
22:10Please arrange it.
22:13Damn fool.
22:18Walking through molasses.
22:21More like hitting concrete.
22:36The spider here wants us to join the vigil.
22:40Could be interesting.
22:41The word is enlightening.
22:42Personally, I can't wait.
22:43Just them, not you.
22:44Excuse me?
22:45There's not enough room in the trailer.
22:47What?
22:47Yeah, we've got equipment in there.
22:48Special stuff.
22:49Stuff they can see and I can't.
22:50You're a journalist.
22:51Like I'm going to spread your secrets all over the world.
22:53You're not invited, so shut up.
22:55Are you coming or not?
22:57Off to you.
23:02See you around.
23:06It will be a small demonstration.
23:08Just two percent of full capacity.
23:10But powerful enough to convince me, I hope.
23:13Even one percent makes headlines.
23:14Which is why I have men out there putting the press off the scent.
23:18Men?
23:19There are others who know about this?
23:21Only two.
23:22Ex-special forces used to keeping their mouths shut.
23:26Anyone can be made to talk, doctor.
23:29Not if they're dead.
23:30Follow me.
23:51From here, at the touch of a button, I could destroy almost any target in Europe or the Middle East.
23:57Tonight will be more modest.
23:59Come with me.
24:14Come inside the trailer.
24:16See what we do.
24:18See that secret stuff?
24:20It'll blow your mind.
24:22Yeah.
24:23I'll bet.
24:29Hey, no wonder you want to keep this place secret.
24:32In your shoes, I won't let anyone see it.
24:34Shut your mouth.
24:36In case you're wondering, nobody out there will admit to hearing a thing.
24:40Now, who the hell are you?
24:41Do you know what I'm going to miss about you, Spider?
24:43What's that?
24:44Your natural charm.
25:03What happened?
25:05They took a nap.
25:08Well, who are they?
25:09You don't know either?
25:10I only met them last night.
25:12The place was crawling with reporters.
25:13I was trying to be their new best friend.
25:14Yeah, we noticed.
25:16So what do they say?
25:17What's their angle?
25:19All day yesterday, they're telling reporters about UFOs and alien landings.
25:22They feel the real number on the New York Times.
25:25Smokescreen?
25:25Put the press off the scent?
25:26That's what I thought.
25:28So what are they trying to cover up?
25:30Well, there's only one way to find out.
25:46Unbelievable, he is.
25:59That was 2% of capacity.
26:02On full power, it'll sink any ship, destroy any building.
26:06It is possible that I may find a buyer.
26:09Mr. Schubati, let us respect one another.
26:11You're the biggest arms dealer in the world.
26:13With merchandise like that on offer, I'm sure that you already have a buyer interest.
26:18Doctor, anybody can blow up a truck.
26:21By the price you're asking, any buyer would need to see the full power.
26:25So let him choose his target.
26:28The Empire State Building, Buckingham Palace.
26:31You'll be able to see the results on the news.
26:55They came on to me as soon as I arrived.
26:57Well, Casey did.
26:59We noticed.
27:02What is it with the two of you?
27:04I was undercover, okay?
27:05Remember Little Miss Journalist?
27:07Right.
27:08Right.
27:10So what happened when the real press arrived?
27:13Casey was all over them and so was Spider.
27:15Nostradamus and the Nine-Neds, right?
27:17Everything but Elvis.
27:19Sounds like they did a good job.
27:20Yes, but if they were a part of it, how come they got vaporized?
27:25Maybe the thing was aimed at us.
27:28Maybe we were the target.
27:33They found us, sir.
27:35Vid 4.
27:36About time.
27:41Ah, Minister.
27:42You got my fax, then?
27:44Yes.
27:46All three of your agents were there when it happened.
27:49Actually on the ground.
27:51Indeed, yes.
27:51They were no more than 20 yards away.
27:53Minister, I really do need your help now.
27:55We've had this conversation before.
27:57But this is different, Minister.
27:58There are still certain NATO files to which CI5 is denied access.
28:02I thought you were granted clearance years ago.
28:04Apparently not.
28:05Which files are you referring to?
28:07The SDI files, 1983.
28:09I need to know exactly what is in them.
28:12At this time of night?
28:13Minister, I really am sorry that you...
28:15I'll call NATO headquarters, but this better be important.
28:18Minister, I really do apologize.
28:21Minister.
28:24Mr Spencer, what do you want?
28:26Sir, if we need those files immediately,
28:29Richard says he might be able to hack into the NATO mainframe.
28:33Oh, come on.
28:36Hack it, man.
28:42So tell him to try.
28:43Right.
28:54Somebody's shooting at us from space, Chris.
28:58You saw it.
28:59Where else could it have come from?
29:00Chris, it's not little green men if that's what you're leading.
29:02Can we get something clear here, Sam?
29:04I'm not a new age freak.
29:06I never heard of nine ads, and I don't believe in astrology.
29:08But something came out of the sky tonight,
29:10and it wasn't a bird with indigestion.
29:11Come on, guys, we need a lead.
29:12We've got nothing.
29:13Not quite nothing.
29:16What does the name Nanta mean to you?
29:18Nanta.
29:19Professor Ricard's notes from two nights ago.
29:221030, N.V. Nanta, east of Headlands.
29:24Sailed away almost to Horizon, then stopped.
29:26So it's a ship.
29:27Mm-hmm.
29:28Noon, Nanta still there.
29:30Wonder what he wants.
29:31He?
29:34Who's he?
29:35Well, unless I've got my names confused,
29:36I think Nanta is Shibati's yacht.
29:39He's San Shibati.
29:41Supplies half of Africa with arms.
29:42Not just Africa.
29:44The Middle East, too.
29:45The laser will be fully charged, courtesy of the sun, an endless source of power.
29:50Not endless, sir.
29:51Not endless at all.
29:53As soon as the West knows what is happening, they could shoot your satellite out of the sky.
30:00You know, as well as I do, that would take weeks to prepare for.
30:03In the meantime, your buyer can win any war he likes.
30:07But very expensively.
30:09Five hundred million dollars is less than the price of an aircraft carrier.
30:19So, now we have an arms dealer and a weapon.
30:22Exactly.
30:23And if you're a skeptic like me, it's hard to believe in coincidences.
30:27Time to call Malone?
30:31Four or five.
30:32Malone, I've done my best.
30:34But you're going to have to wait until the clearance committee meets on Monday.
30:37I see.
30:38Well, thank you very much for trying, Minister.
30:39Even then, you may not be granted clearance.
30:42Oh, dear.
30:42Well, that would be a pity, Minister.
30:44Yes, but it's understandable.
30:46The contents of the files you're asking for brought an end to the Cold War.
30:50The Star Wars project.
30:51Only a few dozen people have ever seen them.
30:53Malone, are you listening?
30:55Yes, Minister.
30:56To every word.
30:57We'll talk tomorrow.
30:58I really do look forward to that, Minister.
31:00Au revoir.
31:02If only she knew.
31:05We've got the lot.
31:06Thanks to Mr Richards.
31:08Sir.
31:10Kiel just called.
31:11They think Issan Shabadi's in the area.
31:14His yacht's anchored just outside Wilmington.
31:18Issan Shabadi.
31:19Well, well, well.
31:21Mr Spencer, call up the surveillance satellite.
31:24I'm about a sweep of the whole North Carolina coast, particularly the Wilmington area.
31:29When you've done that, get everybody working on this Star Wars project.
31:32Looking for what, sir?
31:33Misfits.
31:34Anybody who wore a grudge whilst they were working on the project.
31:37Anyone who was passed over for promotion.
31:39Anyone who had strong political views.
31:41And above all, a senior man who fell out with the team.
31:47Right.
31:48The event has made headlines all over the world.
31:50For the second time in two days, the Carolina coast has been hit by what some people think
31:54is a meteorite.
31:56And others are calling an alien attack.
31:58Several eyewitnesses saw the impact.
32:00And even they can't agree on what caused it.
32:03Gloria Selsis of Richmond, Virginia was there when it happened.
32:06As soon as I saw the light, I knew it was a message from the Pleiades.
32:10Like a warning, you know?
32:12They've been watching us for a thousand years.
32:14And now they're talking to us, telling us to change.
32:17Oh, come on.
32:17I'm Jeff Penny, by the way.
32:19I was there.
32:19I saw it, too.
32:20It was a comet, definitely.
32:22Long tail, bright light, burning up in the atmosphere.
32:25Classic comet, definitely.
32:26Look, if I had a camera, I could prove it.
32:28Anyone who thinks otherwise is just self-delusional, wanting to believe in spacecraft.
32:42Okay, got your picture.
32:44Is that it, top right?
32:45Is that the Nanta?
32:46Spence, can you enlarge this?
32:48I'll try.
32:49The trouble is, the closer we zoom, the worse the picture gets.
32:52Miss Barker, there's a certain amount of haze in the atmosphere.
32:55Earlier on, we did have a very good picture.
32:56We saw the name quite clearly.
32:58It is the Nanta.
32:59What do we do now, sir?
33:00We wait.
33:02It's a whale shore.
33:06He's avoiding the Coast Guard.
33:08That figures.
33:09He's wanted in six countries.
33:10Sir.
33:12Oh, thank God for that.
33:13Excuse me.
33:17What's that?
33:18The grudge list.
33:19Yeah.
33:20Half the people who worked on the Star Wars projects, ain't it, be honest?
33:24If Malone's right, and this Star Wars satellite's still up in space, well, how come they didn't disable it?
33:28Maybe they did.
33:29Or maybe they just took away the Earth Station that controlled it.
33:31One left it up there, circling the world forever.
33:33Why not?
33:34The U.S. Navy's got warships sitting around since the 60s.
33:37Mothballed.
33:38Yeah, but who has to know how to bring a thing like that back to life?
33:41Not Shibati, that's for sure.
33:44This is an arms dealer.
33:45So it's got to be someone with a scientific brain.
33:49Well, good morning, Mr. Shibati.
33:50I trust you slept well.
33:52Good.
33:53So tell me, has your buyer decided yet?
33:57Further demonstration.
33:58I don't understand.
33:59What kind of demonstration?
34:02Why can't you tell me now?
34:07Very well.
34:07Well, I'll see you within the hour.
34:14Mr. Spencer!
34:19Sir?
34:19You know the boss who fired you and then took credit for everything you've done?
34:23How would you feel?
34:24Furious.
34:25Why?
34:26Well, it's happened to this man on the Star Wars project, Dr. James L. Stoner.
34:33Do you think he's our man?
34:36Well, if he isn't, it's quite a coincidence because his boss, the scientist, died two days ago, was Professor Ricard.
34:44A hundred miles in less than a second.
34:46Here comes another one.
34:49Seems to be turning.
34:51My God, it's coming straight at me!
34:57I got you in the end, Peter Ricard.
35:02I got you in the end.
35:06Listen, everybody.
35:08We have to find a certain scientist called James L. Stoner.
35:13Now, we start with the universities and failing that, we move on to the commercial companies.
35:19Stoner.
35:20S-T-O-N-E-R.
35:25Do you have any idea how many James Stoners there are in the United States?
35:28More than 3,000.
35:3092 with doctorates and our man doesn't seem to be among them.
35:33Well, check the death registries.
35:34Maybe he's kicked it.
35:35Aren't they meant to be doing that back at HQ?
35:36They are.
35:37I'm just trying to get a jump on them.
35:46Sir?
35:48Sir, there's a Dr. J. Stoner at UCLA.
35:51No, no, no, that's John.
35:52He is a biochemist.
35:54The man we're looking for is James L., physicist.
35:56Sorry, sir.
35:57That's all right.
36:00Sir, astrophysicist.
36:01Educated Princeton.
36:03Doctorate, 1971.
36:05Yes.
36:06Yes, yes, could be.
36:07Where is he?
36:11No known address.
36:13Credit card lists, driver's licenses, anything.
36:20Spence, punch up your satellite.
36:22I can see movement near the Nanta.
36:27Got it.
36:28Looks like a small boat leaving the big one.
36:30Coming inshore fast.
36:31Keep monitoring it.
36:33We'll make sure that we know where it docks.
36:34We're going to lose the satellite in four minutes.
36:36Damn.
36:37It's almost over the horizon now.
36:38Damn it.
36:39We lose the satellite in four minutes.
36:43Well, let's take a chance.
36:46Anything's better than sitting here.
36:56It's definitely heading south, going towards the harbor.
36:59Copy that.
37:21How far is the boat from the harbor?
37:23About 300 yards.
37:25We're going to lose the satellite.
37:26No.
37:31No.
37:44Satellite's gone.
37:46Any indication which direction it might head inside the harbor, left or right?
37:50You mean, do I have a crystal ball?
37:51Don't be cheeky, Mr. Spencer.
37:54Miss Backus, how far are you from the harbor now?
37:56Six miles.
37:58By the time we get there, wherever it was, we'll have landed.
38:00We don't even know what the boat looks like.
38:14Sir, we're not even having any luck with Stoner either.
38:17He's not on any of the usual lists.
38:19It's like he doesn't exist.
38:20Keep trying, Mr. Richards.
38:21Keep trying.
38:23What the hell were we doing at the headland when it's all happening in town?
38:26We didn't know that then.
38:27It seemed like the place to be.
38:29Come on.
38:29We're supposed to anticipate these days.
38:31Chris, relax.
38:32It's not over yet.
38:34Oh.
38:35Wait.
38:59Deedpole.
39:01Sir?
39:02He's changed his name by Deedpole.
39:04It has to be that.
39:07You and Richards, check it out.
39:10Federal register.
39:11Name changes.
39:12No problem.
39:16Did you see the look on that cop's face when he opened the trunk?
39:19Well, a couple of Uzis and eight full mags would be kind of shocking, don't you think?
39:22So what do we do now?
39:24I could murder a pizza.
39:25Hey, there's a great seafood restaurant down in the harbor.
39:27Have we earned it?
39:30You're right.
39:31Pizza.
39:34Two billion dollars in 1985 money.
39:37And so secret, even the graphics were generated in-house.
39:41It's magnificent.
39:43And the only one of its kind.
39:45It took me four years to recreate the control system.
39:48And this is it, right here in this room, thanks to miniaturization.
39:51How do the trigger signals reach the laser?
39:54Simple transmitter up there on the roof.
40:10Now, if my buyers are satisfied this morning, who shall I say will operate it?
40:15I will teach whomever he nominates.
40:19Is the firing mechanism complex?
40:22As you would expect.
40:24Four fail-safe systems, each with three layers.
40:26It's not the simplest of toys.
40:30And what releases the fail-safe systems?
40:33How does the weapon go live?
40:35Simple thumbprint.
40:35In those days, it required the president's print.
40:38That was long ago.
40:41And now?
40:43Mine, of course.
40:44Of course.
40:46Your print activates system.
40:56Doctor, many people have tried to sell weapons to my clients.
41:00Some have worked.
41:02Some have not.
41:04Before parting with a half a billion dollars,
41:07he needs to be sure that your Star Wars laser is as powerful as you say it is.
41:12I think you know the answer to that.
41:13Yes.
41:14At full power, you could destroy an aircraft carrier, yes?
41:18Thousands of tons of steel?
41:20On the move, you mean?
41:21Mm-hmm.
41:22If I knew the exact coordinates.
41:24Okay, then.
41:25How about an easier target?
41:27One that doesn't move.
41:28For example, the Eiffel Tower?
41:32Eiffel Tower?
41:34So with the exact coordinates, you could destroy it, Doctor.
41:40Now?
41:55There he is.
41:56James Caslett.
41:58Mr. Curtis, Mr. Keele.
42:00We found him.
42:01He's changed his name to Caslett.
42:02James Caslett.
42:03One, four, five, five, River Road, Wilmington.
42:07We're on our way.
42:08Yes!
42:20You say four minutes.
42:22Great.
42:23We'll make lunchtime news.
42:26Do you know Paris well, Doctor?
42:28My daughter is at the Sorbonne.
42:31Ah.
42:32Coffee?
42:33Coffee?
42:35Coffee?
42:37Coffee?
42:38Coffee?
42:52I doubt there's another landmark in the world that is so elegantly situated between two
42:58museums.
43:04People.
43:05Hmm?
43:07People.
43:07What people?
43:08At the Tower, there'll be hundreds of people.
43:11Is that a surprise to you, Doctor?
43:12I can't do it.
43:13The deal's off.
43:15You're committed.
43:17There is no turning back.
43:18No.
43:18I can't do it.
43:19I'm not a killer.
43:20Last night, on this very room, you killed two men.
43:23They were soldiers, fighting men.
43:26And I regret it.
43:27I can't explain.
43:28And Ricard?
43:30You killed Ricard.
43:31I hated him.
43:33He destroyed me.
43:41It's left here.
43:44My client is not a forgiving man, Doctor.
43:47If you only knew who he was, you know.
43:49I know exactly who he is.
43:51He's murdered thousands.
43:52Tens of thousands.
43:53You are a dead man.
43:54He will haunt you down.
43:56To hell with him.
43:58Go right.
43:59And you get out.
44:04Get out.
44:05Down.
44:07No.
44:20Go.
44:25Idiot.
44:26Go.
44:28No.
44:29You idiot.
44:32How does the weapon go live?
44:35Sir, go thumbprint.
44:36You're a prince.
44:38Active assist.
44:46Help me with this.
44:49Do it.
44:51Down.
44:53Down.
45:01Two down back there.
45:03Stoner?
45:03He's one of them.
45:04Shibati got away.
45:05Where's backup?
45:07Backup.
45:17Where were you?
45:19Mopping up.
45:22Calling him alone?
45:25FBI.
45:32He's an illegal alien.
45:36He's an illegal alien.
45:37闔コ
45:39Oh, man.
45:46There's he is.
45:53There's he is.
