"Forty years, same division, same desk." "is this that in-transmission that's been tracking?" "JULES:" "Yep." "There's an awful lot of crypto in the carrier wave, and they're using some kind of spread spectrum." "is that accurate?" "The name?" "Walter Weed." "Yes." "My wife, Elizabeth, daughter, Mary." "Why is the bureau putting a close protection team on Weed?" "The question's why would they need to?" "Retiring, wheelchair-bound, mid-level information analyst." "There's really nothing to tell." "BAKER:" "How many enemies can this guy have?" "Tell me about April 1 9th." "April 1 9th, 3:00 a.m., to be precise." "Am I in some sort of trouble?" "BAKER:" "No, Walter, you're in very specific trouble." "Bureau intel has decoded credible data that a multimillion-dollar contract has been put into play by parties as yet unknown." "Unconfirmed information is that this is an open contract, and that multiple assets may be involved." "Confirmed information from our good friends at vicap had the termination date April 1 9th, 3:00 a.m." "Tomorrow?" "Tomorrow." "And you said, "Termination date"?" "Your termination." "You're the target." "Tomorrow's the day you're supposed to die, Walter." "(NERVOUS LAUGHTER)" "This is some kind of a gag, isn't it?" "Abrams is behind this, isn't he?" "Right." "For my retirement party?" "This is an assassination market." "Normally this level of asset engagement is associated with heads of state." "Mubarak was a market target four years back." "Hamid Karzai more recently." "You're talking about people of great importance and power." "What do I have in common with them?" "Why would I be a target?" "That's what we want to know, Walter." "So tell me a story." "You asked to see me, Father?" "I thought we should pray together, girl." "Pray together and ask the Lord to forgive you your sins." "You do want God's love, don't you?" "Of course, Father." "Well, then you know what you must do." "(CHUCKLES)" "Please, Father, kiss me first?" "(COUGHS)" "(priest CLATTERS ON FLOOR)" "I was sent by the parents of the children you took liberties with." "As penance for your sins, they've asked for nothing less than your life." "(sighs)" "Sometimes, true forgiveness has to be forced upon us." "BAKER:" "An unknown individual has put a bounty on your head that'll draw every animal who can point a gun, wield a knife, or crush a skull." "Sublime, as always." "This individual, the un-sub contracting this hit, is likely a major player in international assassinations." "It's not likely that we'll know the size and scale of the threat against you, but we should be ready for anything." "I've been employed and entrusted with a responsibility." "What would happen to the world if we all abandoned our responsibilities, Marty?" "(SHUSHlNG) Look, we could..." "Chaos." "That's what would happen." "Yeah. I understand that, all right?" "Believe me, I do." "But everything has a price, right?" "And I can pay." "I'm talking $2,000,000." "Please." "Okay, okay, fuck that, fuck that." "Look, I..." "I could get you more." "A lot more." "My brother, Morris Mecklen, he's got this client, Buddy Israel, he's got shitloads of cash." "Two days and you'll have the money." "Just two days!" "Please!" "We don't have two days, Marty." "We only have now." "The Mayans and the ancient Egyptians practiced brain surgery." "What the fuck?" "But it was Dr. Walter Freeman who perfected it." "Depending on the position..." "Don't do this."

"Different parts of the brain, different results." "Wait, wait." "$3,000,000. I can get you $3,000,000." "The cerebellum controls speech, Marty, not your hearing, so listen very carefully." "Don't do this." "The people who have employed me have already paid me, and once I've been paid, I see the job through." "No!" "No!" "You don't have to do this!" "Otherwise, chaos."

"Fucker said they's holding our stash in an armory just inside the depot." "You know, I heard that most Navy recruits have had at least one homosexual experience before they's even midshipman, so, Sis, I was wondering, I mean, was his deck gun firing?" "Or maybe he was banging you while he was thinking about Popeye's forearms." "Lester, why don't you just admit that you want this sweet little package all to yourself, huh?" "I admit I wouldn't mind a little..." "Come on." "Come on, now." "Don't you fucking touch me, you fucking prick." "Get your fucking dirty paws off me, fucker."

"What you got for us, honey?" "Why?" "There's a theory that this has to do with some code that you cracked, some piece of cryptology that is meaningless with you alive but invaluable with you dead."

"No, please!" "(screaming)" "That's it?" "(CHUCKLES) I thought you were gonna cut my face." "You're not gonna cut my face, are you?" "No." "The face is sacred." "But the throat..."

"Agent Redstone's gonna be on close protection detail with our SAC." "Hey." "You'll be moved to an undisclosed location until the deadline and the bounty expire." "What is the price?" "$3,000,000." "That is mmm-mmm good." "For $3,000,000..." "I'd kill my own mother." "Actually, I did, for a lot less than that." "God, I... $ 3,000,000?" "I can't imagine what I would've done in my life to warrant such..." "Walter." "They're never gonna collect." "You just give us the word and we'll go all the way to the wall for you." "The exact time of kill is..." "HAL LEUCO:" "is a non-negotiable point." "April 1 9th, 3:00 a.m." "Any deviation from this timeline nullifies any form of payment."

"Our location will be unknown until we touch down." "That means we'll be traveling signal-free." "That's no cell phones, PDAs, nothing that receives or transmits." "You got them, give them up."

"Don't you remember Cabo, with the soap?" "WALTER:" "How old are you?" "Thirty-two?" "In charge of this unit?" "Somebody up there likes you." "You're soaring up, and I'm headed down." "You must have some pretty amazing memories, though." "Any one in particular stick out?" "Meeting Ronald Reagan."

"This door is your first line of defense out of what essentially is a bunker." "Gentlemen, you're looking at a little piece of history." "Turn of the last century, they built freight tunnels throughout all of Chicago." "Transport butchered steer." "Back in those days, these tunnels were swimming in blood." "And if it wasn't the slaughterhouses using them, it was the bootleggers running guns and liquor." "These tunnels used to connect the sewer system." "They sealed them shut in the early '50s." "In 1 955, Ike's administration came through and built the bunker." "nicholas:" "Sorry. lke?" "REDSTONE:" "Eisenhower, rookie." "Jesus, who hired this punk?"

"Next time Red messes with you, ask him about Gearbox." "Gearbox?" "Yeah." "Gentlemen, the main bunker." "You know, truth be told, it used to be a private speakeasy for Sammy "The Ant" Battaglia during Prohibition."

"MALCOLM:" "Well, that's the good and the bad." "It would take more munitions to bring down my doors than level all Chicago, but it's a warren." "There's only one way in and one way out." "Not too crazy about that." "You guys got enough food and booze to last you about six months." "Plus you have complete surveillance of upstairs, corridors, and outside the club." "Seriously, you'd have to be suicidal to take a run at my spot." "Walter, what do you think?" "I think I'm about as safe as it's possible to make me." "DUMARE:" "What do you got here?" "That would be a spider hole." "Jesus, Saddam renting this place from you?" "nicholas:" "Wow." "If you're that impressed, rookie, why don't you jump down in there?" "Sorry?" "No, don't be sorry." "Just get down in there." "Give us a demonstration." "Come on, rookie, in the hole." "Go on, get in there." "Go on." "Oh." "Okay." "Yeah." "Right after you explain Gearbox." "(EXCLAlMlNG)" "Rookie fights back." "I like that." "Okay, who the fuck told him that?" "(STUTTERS)" "That would be me." "You know, I figured he ought to know the kind of man he's working with." "You fucking..." "No, hey, hey, hey. it's okay." "You didn't follow through." "It's the follow-through that matters." "Still, he nearly fucked a tranny." "A she-he, bro."

"Them clown fuckers can be dangerous, and the little ones can be lethal." "I always make it a point not to cross swords with carnies and harlots, but we can use them little boys as a facade, so there we are." "Yeah." "They're Satan's little secret agents, collecting souls on the side." "I saw one of them little bastards levitate one time, took the heart right out of a Great Dane, eat it whole, just like that." "You seen what?" "Yep." "Where'd you see that?" "Now that must've been a sight to behold." "fritz:" "Yeah." "Sent me running for my Bible." "You still take comfort in them fables, Daddy?" "(CHUCKLES)" "Don't you blaspheme, boy." "Never too old to put you over my knee and beat a reckoning into you." "You're still scared of clowns, Lester." "(chuckling) I ain't scared of them, per se, just very mindful of their movements, that's all." "(FRlTZ LAUGHS)" "BAKER:" "Card tricks?" "Oh, a little." "It's playing cards themselves that I'm interested in." "They're based on the old tarot deck, cards that were used for foretelling the future." "Can't tell you how handy that's gonna come in down here." "You don't really buy into that old-world gypsy bullshit, do you, Walter?" "The psychologist Carl Jung had a different term for it." "Synchronicity." "The idea being that all of nature's interconnected in such a way that the past, the present, and the human mind, through an act of random sampling, if you will, can predict the course of future actions." "What's that thing I heard?" "It's like the deck itself was like the days of the week?" "Something like that?" "Mmm." "(sighs) Well, there's four suits for the four seasons, 52 cards for the weeks in the year, and if you add up the pips on every card in the deck, it totals to 365," "the number of days in the year." "All right." "Where's my card, ace of spades?" "It's not in here." "It's not there?" "No, it's not." "Well, why don't you look in Agent Baker's pocket?" "(LAUGHS)" "Not bad." "That's good." "You see one of those." "How the hell did you do that?" "I can't tell you that." "It'll spoil it." "BAKER:" "What are these?" "Are these government-issue playing cards?" "No." "I had them made."

"Gentlemen, should have a real nice crowd in here tonight." "Cats playing?" "Tight." "BAKER:" "Yeah?" "Who's that?" "Well, the feature soloist is this brother named Little." "Got mad skills on the horn." "Uh-huh." "So, how long you guys gonna have it locked down in here?" "We'll hold out till tomorrow." "This thing's got an expiration date on it." "After that, it won't be worth anything to go after him." "They gotta find us first." "Even if they do, they ain't getting down there." "You going back to DC after this?" "No, man." "Working on this alias for this project I've got in Vegas next year." "Cat I like to call Beanie." "Ghetto retard, barely educated, brought up in a gang environment." "Oh, that should be a pretty easy transition for you, then." "What?" "I fucking hate hip-hop." "You hate hip-hop?" "Come on." "Oh, what?" "A black man can't hate hip-hop?" "I bet you tell me my favorite food's watermelon." "I just can't live without chicken, huh?" "Just gonna snatch up my brother badge if I ain't bumping some hip-hop." "You're putting words in my mouth." "Hey, man, listen to me." "Hip-hop is the unwanted bastard son of superior musical forms like jazz, blues." "These kids don't know anything about Louis Armstrong," "Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie, but hey, when it's required of me, I be pulling hos out the club, flashing knots and nines on these niggas." "You know how I do, pimp." "Like I said, should be a pretty easy transition for you." "Little too convincing, Culham." "Fuck you." "Excuse me." "Excuse me." "The keys to 409, please?" "Excuse me?" "Of course, sir." "Sorry, I'm still new." "Culham, what do you got?" "(OVER RADIO) All clear down here." "Good, good." "Just stop short of blowing strangers for bags of crack."

"Mmm-hmm." "So, so many things." "(BOTH chuckling)" "You like to get loco, huh?" "Yeah." "Crazy." "Yeah, really crazy." "What about experimenting?" "Baby, I'm at your disposal." "(CHUCKLES)" "No." "You will be." "BAKER:" "What do the cards say, Walter?" "Wish I knew." "I never could get into cards." "My grandfather, he would sit at the kitchen table and just wile away for hours." "Always seemed a bit more of a time-killer to me." "Well, that's not surprising." "You're a man of action." "Cards are more cerebral." "Are they, now?" "So do you have family, Walter?" "This is my wife, Elizabeth, and my daughter, Mary." "Wow, really..." "Wow, they're like mirrors to one another." "Your wife is beautiful." "There you go." "That's mine." "Amelia." "I never figured you for a father." "You almost seem shocked." "Sorry." "Pardon me." "Well, that right there's my pride and joy."

"From what I can glean, some kind of reverse PR campaign against the United States on or around the time of widespread international criticism of the US government." "So we already look bad, and this is supposed to make us look worse." "Okay, what kind of ops are we talking about?" "Torture of prisoners in US custody, all photographed." "Radiation poisoning of a Russian official by the ClA." "Murder of an Iraqi family, supposedly by a US soldier, and the bombing of a subway in an allied country in order to sway support against the Iraqi war." "All carried out under the banner of True Patriot." "Prisoner torture, that's Abu Ghraib." "Radiation poisoning, Litvinenko." "Iraqi family murders, Mahmudiyah killings." "Train station bombings, Madrid subway attacks." "Look, I want you to dig deep on this." "Okay?" "I want bank accounts, I want anything and everything..." "Already done." "We got classic shells, offshore, so no one who wasn't staring at them would ever connect them to True Patriot." "They're similar to the tracking accounts this Hal Leuco character is using to go after Weed." "Nice." "Osterberg." "(GRUNTlNG)" "LESTER:" "Hey!" "Don't shit yourself, son. lt's just me." "Hi !" "I look like that dude, the one in Platoon." "He's in Sniper." ""One shot, one kill !"" "(LAUGHS)" "All these gentlemen callers competing for your attention." "I like the single life." "Look, this situation, you know what they say." "Two heads are better than one." "Bigger targets." "I don't need your help." "Then why haven't you killed me already?" "The night's still young." "Well, hello, handsome." "(BEEPS)" "Walter, why didn't you tell me that today," "April 1 9th, is the day your wife and daughter died?" "It hadn't occurred to me." "Someone says you're gonna die, the last thing you think about is the date." "Something's not right here, Walter." "You know how some people, they get a trick knee before it rains?" "You see, I get this twinge in my gut and it's never let me down, and right now it's telling me either you or this situation is full of shit." "Which one is it?" "is it?" "That's outrageous, Agent Baker." "Yes, and I resent what you're implying." "I have given the better part of my life to this bureau and my country." "You have no right to speak to me this way." "Hey, paesan." "You check out the Latina at the bar, man?" "Sexy as fuck, but man, I don't trust it." "It's got this serious-ass black-widow vibe type thing." "I don't know about her bullet-head boyfriend, either." "Dom." "I'll keep an eye on her." "What's with you, man?" "You okay?" "I'm fine." "All right, man." "fritz:" "Come on, come on."

"I've been following this woman for three days." "She's a wanted murderer." "Now get Baker on the line." "Baker, you getting this?" "Baker, do you copy?" "Dom, did you get a movement order on this?" "is he with you?" "Man, fuck this." "Everybody relax, this fucking second." "Deep breaths, dry palms." "We're gonna take care of the situation." "I want everybody within the sound of my voice to place their weapons on the ground." "Slowly." "(LAUGHS)" "(MUMBLES)" "(whooping)" "(BOTH laughing) I believe we's ranged." "(TRIUMPHANT MUSIC PLAYING)" "Reload !" "BABY BOY:" "Yeah !" "(GRUNTlNG)" "(yelling)" "(GRUMBLlNG)" "Oh, shit!" "ALL laughing)" "BAKER:" "Someone's compromised this operation." "We were invisible."

"(crying) I should've listened to you." "Not my strong suit, I guess." "It never was." "BAKER:" "Dumare, where is my overwatch?" "BAKER:" "Nick?" "nicholas:" "Link's still down, sir." "Can anybody up there hear me?" "Osterberg?" "Abrego?" "Somebody?" "ABREGO:" "Copy that, Chief." "Our door is still sealed." "Locking mechanism unaffected." "You hold your position." "You kill anything you don't know." "You understand me?" "Jules, overwatch is down or dead." "I need full response, all available agents." "I repeat, full armed response." "Copy, Chicago field office deploying now." "Send me everything you got." "We're under siege here." "I'm on it." "Are you okay?" "No, not at all." "Fuck!" "Yeah, yeah, yeah !" "Yeah, baby, go wide!" "Hit the deck!" "Bang !" "Bang !" "Bang !" "Bang !" "Hey!" "Check this one out!" "(laughing)" "That's not a close-quarters weapon." "You could've killed us all, shit for brains!" "(exclaims) God damn it!" "And that's for taking the Lord's name in vain." "I've been shot." "I've been gut shot." "Abrego, please." "Can't you see I'm dying out here." "Baker, I got Dumare on the other side of the elevator door." "DUMARE:" "Open the goddamn door!" "ABREGO:" "He's hit." "He needs medical attention immediately." "What the hell is he doing down there?" "Dom, what are you doing in the bar?" "Why aren't you at your post?" "What's he doing?" "Abrego, keep that door sealed." "What are you talking about?" "He's hit." "He's in a bad fucking way, man." "Stand down, Abrego." "Bullshit!" "What, are you fucking nuts?" "We gotta get him out of there." "Not till Baker gives the okay." "Do not open that door." "(WHlMPERlNG) I'm feeling cold, and I know that's really bad." "Wait, wait." "Now." "(SCREAMS)" "My eyeholes!" "(yelling)" "(BEEPlNG)" "(BEEPlNG rapidly)" "(GROANS)" "Oh, dear me." "Baby Boy." "You did real good." "There's a time for tears, Daddy, but this ain't it." "There's money for the taking." "$3,000,000 worth." "Do not open that door." "Step away, man." "Open the door." "Now!" "It's fucking Dom, for Christ's sakes." "I am not letting him die three fucking feet from me." "Stand down now!" "Abrego." "(GRUNTlNG)" "BAKER:" "Abrego, this is a direct order." "Hold on, Dom !" "Do not open that door!" "Do you understand me?" "Fuck." "I'm coming !" "What the fuck, Dom?" "(GRUNTS)" "You're not Dom." "(GRUNTlNG)" "(YELLS)" "Sir, I've got gunfire in the stairwell." "Proceed with extreme prejudice." "You are our last line of defense." "(exclaims)" "Hold your fire!" "Hold your fire!" "It's me!" "It's Dumare!" "I think I'm hit!" "These guys are on my ass!" "I'm coming out!" "fritz:" "Hell !" "Jules, where's my backup?" "They're en route." "But, Zane, listen to me, the contractors..." "Jules, the fucking ceiling is coming down." "The assassins targeting Weed all have extensive government kill sheets." "Wetwork for Uncle Sam." "So you're saying that they've targeted US government agents before?" "No, that's just it." "All of the vendors have been classified "liquidator,"" "and at one point or another have engaged in illegal covert activity for the US government." "Do you hear me?" "They've worked for us." "Jules?" "Jules?" "Shit." "You've been lugging that damn rocket around like a Afghani at a fucking Bar Mitzvah !" "Shoot that sucker!" "Hold on !" "Hold on down there!" "Hold your fire for a second !" "Any of you want to see my sister's tits?" "What?" "JULES:" "How far away is tactical response?" "JENNY:" "It's 20 out." "Local PD's onsite in three." "Just stay on it." "Get my line back up." "What the fuck is that?" "nicholas:" "Sir?" "I'm a businessman." "I'm here to negotiate with Mr. Weed." "Stand down." "Relinquish your weapon and get in the prone position." "If you don't let me in, your man's no use to me." "(exclaims)" "SOOT:" "Deal or no deal?" "No deal." "God damn it, Bake." "Open the door." "Shut up." "You're wasting time, and he's losing blood." "(SCREAMS)" "No matter what you do, I will not open this door and if you kill that man, I swear to God, I will hunt you down." "Repeat. I will hunt you down like a dog and kill you if it's the last thing I do." "I'll make sure that it is." "Will that door hold?" "It's got to." "If our intel's correct, three minutes, it's roll credits." "If he's not dead at 3:00 a.m. exactly, there's no payment." "Cheer up, Houdini." "You're about to live through this." "Y'all mind if I crash your little party?" "Eeny..." "Walter!" "... meeny..." "... miny..." "... moe." "Walter, you okay?" "Yes." "Nick." "Come on." "Come on." "Come on." "Oh, shit."

"There's enough C-4 explosives wired to my chair to bring down this entire bunker." "If I release this button, it detonates the explosives." "Okay, okay." "I can take him." "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa."

"A dozen men are dead." "Red !" "No!" "(exclaims in pain)" "Whoa!" "All right?" "Everything's cool." "Everything's cool." "Red, you okay?" "Do I look like I'm fucking okay?" "No, you just shot me!" "See?" "Red's okay." "Walter, you're a government official." "You're about to murder your own." "For the greater good." "There are men outside that door that are wanted enemy combatants directly aligned against our country." "They have engaged in the most heinous acts ever perpetrated against the United States." "In 40 years, I have never had the opportunity to do anything heroic." "Walter, this isn't heroic." "This is sanctioned murder." "You're sweeping up for somebody, Walter, okay?" "Hal Leuco fed you a line of bullshit, and now they're using you, Walter." "I am not being used." "I lied to you." "I am well aware of True Patriot, a vicious, coordinated assault by animals like Finbar McTeague conducting tortures in the name of American interests." "He stages these sessions, photographs them, and disseminates the pictures around the world." "And Ariella Martinez, mercenary, well-versed in exotic poisons and toxicology." "She liquidates a Russian dissident with radioactive poison used only by the US military." "(choking)" "Lazlo Soot." "He murders an Iraqi family and pins it on a US soldier." "Those crazed hillbillies, the Tremors?" "The True Patriot is a fabrication." "Hal Leuco made it up." "They blew up a train station in Spain." "It swayed a major election, voted in a liberal president, who then pulled his support on the Iraqi war." "NEWSCASTER 1 : 1 91 people were killed today, and more than 2,000 were..." "NEWSCASTER 2:" "It seems the train targeted by the bombers were either in station or... (INDISTINCT CHATTERING)" "These are cold-blooded mercenaries and killers in open warfare against our government." "They have been sent a contract on me to lure them here, where l can terminate all of them." "Okay, Walter, wait a minute." "Everything you know about True Patriot is a lie." "Yes." "Hal Leuco, whoever or whatever the fuck he is, he's been planning on using you for months, maybe even years in advance." "Yes, Walter." "They planted these stories." "They stitched them together to get you here to this moment." "It's blowback, Walter." "Everyone you mentioned, all those enemy combatants, yeah, they've done some sinister things, Walter, but on behalf of the US government, and now they want them dead." "Do you see what's happening here?" "This isn't about patriotism." "This is about eradication." "No." "Yes, and that's what they're doing to you, Walter." "Don't let them." "Don't." "No." "My wife and my daughter were taken from me." "By what?" "Chance?" "Ideas live on, Agent Baker." "People don't." "And when I roll out that door and detonate these explosives, I join the grid of destiny." "I will be remembered." "I will be history." "You have a choice." "Destiny's plaything, or avenging angel?" "Please don't do this." "Please don't do this, Walter." "Walter, please." "Fuck." "Come on." "Come on." "(GRUNTS)" "(SCREAMS)" "fritz:" "Help me." "Help me, boy." "(CACKLlNG) Help me." "Help me." "Help me, boy." "I'll help you, you old fucker." "(GUNSHOT)" "(breathing heavily)" "(coughing)" "MAN 1 :" "Sir?" "Sir, are you okay?" "MAN 2:" "Hey, buddy, you all right?" "Gun !" "He's got a gun !" "Whoa!" "I'm Agent Baker." "I'm in charge." "Don't." "Don't move." "Get down on the ground." "Get down on the ground." "VEJAR:" "Get off him !" "He's fbi." "You four, lock this place down, check for survivors." "See to Lester Young there while you're at it." "Agent Baker, I'm Special Agent Anthony Vejar." "I know you've been through hell, but I'm out of time." "Where's Walter Weed?" "He's dead." "You can verify that?" "You saw him die?" "You saw a body?" "He blew himself up into a million pieces." "I'm gonna ask you one more time." "Did you see a body?" "Did you actually see him die?" "He was sitting on enough C-4 to level downtown Chicago." "He was a suicide bomber." "There's no body to recover." "We have reason to believe that Walter Weed was Hal Leuco." "What?" "We think Leuco was some sort of cleanup man, taking care of old assets like the Tremors, McTeague, Lazlo Soot, in order to eradicate any link to True Patriot, anyone he'd dealt with personally." "There's an element of shadow government behind this." "cia, NSA, agency in the black." "It's unclear, but you and your men were used, co-opted." "Okay, wait a minute, wait a minute." "My team did an extensive background check." "They tracked Weed all the way back to his childhood." "He worked for the agency, for God's sakes." "It was all fabricated." "Leuco papered, disseminated information in the agency to create the illusion of Weed." "Hal Leuco isn't even a real name." "It's short for Haliaeetus leucocephalus." "It's Latin for "bald eagle."" "BAKER:" "You want bald eagles on your playing cards, I think you've earned it." "The assassins, the money we were tracking, where did all that come from?" "As Walter Weed, Leuco had access to bureau intel, everything we'd been working on domestically." "As Hal Leuco, he was privy to more than his share of cla ops." "We were a week away from proving the connection between the two when this happened." "$3,000,000." "That is mmm-mmm good." "I'm glad." "How could he get away with two identities, working at the highest level of intelligence?" "Leuco is a ghost, a will-o'-the-wisp." "Now you see him, now you don't." "That's why I needed to know, did you see him die?" "Are you sure?" "How could he survive that blast?" "How the hell did you do that?" "I can't tell you that." "It'll spoil it." "Son of a bitch." "Southside bar owner Malcolm Little had no idea this morning that his place of business would be the scene of a massive gas leak explosion." "Firefighters are on the scene..."
