"The usual -- 4, 17, 10, 21, 89." "Why do you always play the same numbers?" "That's the time and date my son was born." "That's nice." "Maybe today's your lucky day." "Thanks, Rosa." "So, that's our guy?" "Yep..." "Jim Kroeper, 48." "Served in desert storm, where he joyfully drove tanks over the bodies of our muslim brothers." "Now he's transporting phosgene from Los Angeles to Newark." "Usually takes him about five days, which gives us just enough time." "We're on." "It's so fucking hot out here." "You americans are so spoiled." "How do you expect to fight a war if you can't even stand a little heat?" "You're a nation of pussies." "Yeah, well, at least americans fight, you know, unlike, say, I don't know, for example, the french." "You shit on the french, but" "Napoléon conquered the world while you americans were still hiding from indians inside log cabins." "Fucking Napoléon." "Napoléon was a tyrannical dictator, okay?" "He fucking invaded Egypt." "Did you know he almost converted to Islam after he conquered Egypt?" "Yes." "I understand." "Roger that." "We're moving to intercept." "That was Farik." "Let's go." "The critical word is "almost," okay?" "That counts for less than shit on Judgment Day." "He died an unbeliever, a kafir." "So right now, I hate to say it, man, but your boy Napoléon is burning in hell." "Whatever." "We just caught a break." "Pakistani security forces working alongside the CIA nabbed a major terrorist leader in Karachi." "His name Isnabeel al-Salifi." "They picked him up yesterday." "And they've been aggressively interrogating him ever since?" "Exactly." "The guy's a tough son of a bitch." "So far he hasn't cracked." "What does this have to do with the L.A. cell?" "Al-Salifi tried to destroy his computer during the raid, but the techs at Langley have been able to recover some information, including this." "We're one step closer to identifying that son of a bitch." "What's he doing?" "I don't know." "This is not one of his regular stops on his schedule." "What do we do now?" "We wait and trust Allah, Darwyn." "We're being guided." "We're off schedule." "We should abort." "Not yet." "I'm gonna need you to back me up... just like in Mexico." "Oh, yeah." "That's -- that's great." "For another 100 bucks, you can get that special treatment we talked about." "Yeah." "What the hell?" "You only live once, right?" "Oh, shit." "Freeze!" "Police." "You're under arrest." "Oh, look, officers, I can't get arrested today." "I got a kid at home waiting for me." "Can we work something out -- a couple of freebies?" "I'll let you guys play golf -- any hole you want." "You got five seconds to walk away, lady." "Thank you." "Thank you." "You're letting her go but you're arresting me?" "Shut the fuck up." "Put some clothes on." "We're going for a ride." " Now!" " Okay." "Okay." "Look, officers, it was just one joint, huh?" "I was on my break." "I never drive when I'm high, I swear to God." "Don't use the lord's name in vain." "Hey, this wasn't the plan." "The plans have changed." "Tie him up." "Get the keys." "You're up, Tommy boy." "Radical." "By the way, that was quick thinking with that phony-cop routine." "Saves us from having to dispose of another body." "Relax." "Relax." "It's just a little insurance in case we run into any problems." "Fuck." "We need to force that truck off the road immediately." "Our U.C. could get caught in the cross fire." "We need to end this now because I'm not letting terrorists maintain control of a truck full of lethal chemicals." "It's al-Sayeed." "Does Tommy know you got that tanker rigged with C4, man?" "It's like he's driving a chemical bomb through downtown L.A." "He doesn't need any more distractions." "If we come across a problem, he'll find out soon enough... as will half of downtown." "A phosgene release this time of day will kill hundreds if not thousands." "Not exactly the casualty rate I expect on Youmud Din, but it's good enough if worse comes to worst." "Sir, we need to call off the blockade now." "If this tanker blows and releases a chemical cloud of poisonous gas in the middle of downtown L.A." "All teams, this is S.A.C. Diaz." "Stand down." "Let the subject proceed." "Repeat." "Stop pursuing the targets and allow them to proceed." "Relax." "Relax." "I'll..." "I'll do whatever you want." "Excellent." "Maybe you are smarter than you look." "Come on." "I want to show you something." "Sit down." "Familiar?" "It should be." "This is your usual cargo route to New Jersey, right?" "The man asked you a question." "You answer." "Yeah, that's my route." "And these are your regularly scheduled stops along your journey." "Is that correct?" "Yeah." "Now, according to this schedule, you should be in Phoenix, Arizona, right now, and you would have been had you not, uh, made that unexpected detour to meet with your whore." "What do you want from me?" "I like a man who gets to the point." "Now, your standard operating procedures are to call your dispatcher daily from one of these stops to confirm that you're on schedule and that you're not running into any problems." "Is that correct?" "How do you know all this?" "Who are you people?" "Yes or no?" "Uh, yeah, yeah." "Yeah." "That's right." "Now, you're gonna call that dispatcher, and you're gonna tell him that you're in Phoenix and that everything is running on schedule." "They got caller I.D., man." "They'll see I'm still in L.A. They'll know something's up." "Relax, Mr. Kroeper." "We spoofed the line." "They'll see whatever area code we want them to see." "Now, do it and don't screw up." "If you try to be a hero, that will only lead to a very painful death." "Do you understand?" " This is dispatch." " Yeah, this is this is Jim Kroeper on the Newark run." "Everything's rosy." ""Rosy" is your panic word to indicate a problem." "What did I tell you about trying to be a hero?" "This is dispatch... dipshit." "Now, we're gonna do this for real, and this time, if you attempt to alert anyone, your wife and son in Reno will die." "Jesus Christ." "Peace be upon him." "Come in." "You wanted to see me?" "Any word from our U.C.?" "No, nothing yet." "Well, Patrice, you should be happy to know that everything else that's happened today just got balanced out by some good news." "Oh?" "What's that?" "Our friends from the dark side over at Langley were able to reconstruct more data on al-Salifi's hard drive." "Faris al-Farik, our international man of mystery." "We know who he is." "Listen very carefully, as though your lives depended on it, because they do." "We're going to be transferring the liquid phosgene from inside that tanker into these barrels." "During the operation, you will all be required to wear one of these." "The emergency command vehicle is going to be refrigerated to the appropriate temperature in order to keep the phosgene from turning into poison gas." "Now, the main danger comes during the transfer process." "If any liquid leaks between the tanker and those barrels, we all risk contamination, and that's where our friend Jim comes in handy." "If we do have an undetected phosgene leak," "Jim here will suffer the effects first, and, as you recall from our little experiment with the dogs, it's not a pretty picture." "We're using this guy as a guinea pig?" "He's a prisoner of war." "Remember, Islam teaches us that we must treat our captives humanely, which is why I expect you not to make any mistakes." "After all, we wouldn't want our guest here to die of phosgene poisoning because of your incompetence, now, would we?" "That wouldn't be very humane." "All right, brothers, let's get to work, and let's try not to get ourselves killed." "His real name is Saad bin Safwan." "He was an officer in the saudi arabian national guard." "He spent 1987 to '89 fighting against the russians in Afghanistan." "Sustained an injury in the field and went home to Riyadh, where he participated in the liberation of Kuwait alongside U.S. Forces." "Apparently we didn't make such a good impression, because the next time he shows up, he's in Somalia, teaching Mohammed Aidid's men how to shoot down our helicopters the way he shot down russian ones in Afghanistan." " "Black hawk down"?" " Right." "Next he heads north to the Balkans, and he fights with the mujahideen in Bosnia." "Then he follows Bin Laden back to Afghanistan,"
