:48:01
and then somehow managed to stick us
right smack in the middle.
:48:11
Hi, Garland.
:48:16
Here's the jacket on Cameron Poe.
His wife's on the way here now.
:48:20
U.S. Ranger,
highly decorated.
:48:22
Did a little hell-raising when he
was a kid, but nothing serious.
:48:23
Explain to me
why any of this matters.
:48:25
Fact one. We got a plane up there filled
with killers, rapists and thieves...
:48:28
and we got this guy Cameron Poe,
in on an involuntary manslaughter beef.
:48:31
Non-gang affiliated.
He's a parolee hitchin' a ride home.
:48:34
Fact two. Poe has a chance
to get off the plane.
:48:37
Doesn't do it. Why?
:48:40
Fact three. Our guard, Falzon,
said a convict named Cameron Poe...
:48:43
planted Sims's
tape recorder on him.
:48:46
These are interesting facts.
You do the math on this,
and we got an ally on that plane.
:48:51
Ally? This guy is a criminal.
A murderer.
:48:54
Read the file. Got in a drunken brawl
defending his wife and he killed a guy.
:48:58
Could have happened to any one
of us, including you and me.
:49:00
I am not one
of these animals.
:49:02
Oh, that's original! When exactly
did they all become animals?
:49:04
When they stopped giving a damn
about the law, about civilization.
:49:07
"The degree of civilization
in a society can be judged
by observing its prisoners."
:49:11
Dostoevsky said that
after doing a little time.
:49:14
"Fuck you!"
Cyrus Grissom said that after putting
a bullet in my agent's head. Okay?
:49:19
The issue here is how the plane
is brought down.
:49:21
Shoot it down.
:49:23
Yeah. When exactly did this
become a DEA jurisdiction?
:49:27
The second the DEA agent
was murdered.
:49:30
I am authorized to bring
Agent Sims's killers to justice using...
:49:32
and I quote,
"All necessary means."
:49:35
- That does not include
shooting down my plane.
- Maybe it does, maybe it doesn't.
:49:38
Is that right? Tell me you're
not seriously entertaining this.
:49:41
Vince, this is
a drastic situation we got.
:49:44
- Those are our men up there!
- All of whom signed a no-hostage
clause. They know the score.
:49:47
Who are you to decide
the value of a man's life?
There are innocent people up there!
:49:50
About time.
:49:54
- For what? About time for what?
- Attack choppers. We're going after 'em.
