We can't hold out much longer, sir.

General Hummel, you've got
to get us out of here now!.

I won't let you down.
I won't let you down, son.

Goddamn it, sir!.
How long do we have to wait?

I've lost 15 men already!.

Sir, they're lighting us up
like a firestorm!

This is Gen. Hummel.
You gotta get my men outta there!

We don't have clearance
to go behind enemy lines, sir.

They're not comin' for us,
are they, sir?

Congressman Weaver
and esteemed members...

of the Special Armed
Services Committee...

I come before you
to protest a grave injustice.

Aim!

It has to stop.

I miss you so much.

I miss you so much.

There's somethin'
I've gotta do, Barb.

Somethin' I couldn't do
while you were here.

I tried.

You know I tried everything,
and I still don't have their attention.

Let's hope this elevates
their thinking.

But whatever happens...

please don't
think less of me.

Marine! Inform the garrison C.O.
that Gen. Hummel's coming on board...

with a security inspection team.

Yes, sir.

Sir, it's an honor
having you, sir.

Ya know, at least
we can get some--

I got the access card. We got
30 minutes 'til those darts wear off.

Move it!

The access card, sir.

Let's do it.

2400 magazine check.

Man, it's wet out there.

Check me through, will ya?

Clear!

- I want 16, Major.
- Move it!

Evac! Seal the door!

- No, no, no!
- Come on, man, seal it!

No-o-o!

Lemme outta here! Oh, God!
Lemme outta here! Oh, God!

Lemme outta here! God!

Clear out.
Get outta here!

- Please!
- Sorry.

Let's move out.

Two more CCs
of acetylene chloride.

That'll be five dollars,
lsherwood.

You suck.

You guys have too much time
on your hands.

She's here. Bring it to me now.
Thank you, Phil!

What's that?
Why'd you get it sent here?

Carla wouldn't approve. She thinks
it's dumb to spend $600 on an L.P.

Carla's right. Why don't you
just spend $13.00 on a CD, man?

First of all,
it's because I'm a Beatlemaniac.

And second, these sound better.

Could be serious.

Could be sarin gas.

Dog out at J.F.K. caught a whiff
of something in this package...

postmarked to
a Bosnian refugee camp.

It could be detergent;
it could be sarin gas.

Bosnian refugee camp?

Half a million Serbians reside in
the U.S. Serbians don't like Bosnians.

You guys wanna
get suited up?

- Bring the cockroaches?
- Got 'em.

We have air lock, Stanley.
You're all set to go.

October 1, 09:00 hours.

Agent Stanley Goodspeed,
Agent Trainee Marvin lsherwood...

initiating exam
of wooden crate.

Suspicion of
sarin gas inside.

- Marvin, sarin is a--
- G.B. aerosol.

That is correct.
I see we have some dirty magazines.

Stone Age Cavegirls In the Raw.
Kinky.

And, uh-- Not a good sign.

Helloo-oo-oo, little baby doll.
Lookit, Stan.

- Hi there, Stanley!
- Marvin, don't!

Hiya, Stan!

Shit! Move back!
Move back!

- Power landings offed.
- Hang on, guys.

We'll have that room cleared
in 50 seconds. You're going to be okay.

Jesus Christ!

Okay, we've got some bad news
and some really bad news.

The bad news is that the gas is
corrosive and it's eating our suits.

- It's all over my hand, man.
- The really bad news...

is there's enough explosive and gas to
blow the chamber and kill everybody...

- in the building.
- Detonation too heavy.

- Everybody, out of the room, now!
- Seal us inside.

Where are the sprinklers, Lonner?

The acid's eating my su-- It's eating
my fucking suit, all right? Shit.

Just wash us off.
Where are my sprinklers?

We're working on it.
It's coming. It's just a flow problem.

Well, it's a pretty big
friggin' problem, Lonner. Fix it now!

We're working on it! How much time
do you have on that detonator?

- A minute ten.
- Hey, look at this!

We're gonna have the room clear.

- Tell 'em to take the atropine, now.
- The atropine, lsherwood.

- What?
- Where's my water, Lonner? One minute!

Marvin, the atropine! Now! Inject it
in your heart before your suit melts.

Shh-it!

- Make him take his dose!
- Where's that water?

- Get that away from me!
- Phil, fix it, for Christ's sake!

- Take the atropine, for Christ's sake!
- We're fucked.

- Poison's mixing.
- What the fuck are you waiting for?

-You take the fucking needle now!
-Fucking shit, oh fucking shit--

- Forty seconds!
- If that suit melts--

If you die, we all die! Inject your
heart and then diffuse the bomb!

Shit, what if I miss my heart?
I can't see shit!

- Do it now!
- Look how big this is.

You want me to stick this
into my heart? Are you fucking nuts?

The sprinkler's coming.
It's coming.

Okay, here we go, man!

Sprinkler activated!

How much time left?

Twenty seconds.

We're not gonna make it.

- Fifteen.

Oh, come on!

Clear!

Get me the fuck out
of this gas chamber.

I almost stabbed myself
in the heart with this thing!

- Stan?
- Hey, darlin'.

I had such
an interesting day today.

Y eah, I had kind of
an interesting day myself.

Okay, you go first.

Some terrorists decide to send
a little care package-- box o' goodies--

which had to be neutralized
before blowing up the office.

I took the rest of the day off. Glass
of wine, a little guitar-- relaxin'.

- Wow.
- I mean it, honey.

The world is being
Fed-Ex'd to hell on a handcart.

I believe that anyone who's thinking
about having a child in this world...

is coldly considering
an act of cruelty.

I know, I'm rambling, I'm complaining,
I'm sorry. What's your news, baby?

- I'm pregnant.
- I'm sorry?

I'm pregnant.

- Really?
- Yeah.

- Wow.
- All you're gonna say is "wow"?

- You're pregnant?
- Three weeks.

How do you know?
I mean, h-how do you know?

Blue.

Just turned blue,
so I went to the doctor.

- Did you mean what you just said?
- When?

Just right now, when you were talking
about bringing a child into the world...

and having it be an act of cruelty.

I meant it at the time.

At the time? You said it
seven and a half seconds ago.

Well... gosh, kind of a lot's happened
since then. We're not even married.

I know. It's funny
you should mention that.

- It's funny?
- Do you love me?

- Of course I love you.
- Good.

- Will you marry me?
- Whoa.

Marriage Police, pull over.

Come on, Stanley.
I'm proposing to you right now.

The Rock is the most famous and
was the most feared prison ever built.

Is it really true that
there's never been an escape?

Ah, that's true. From 1936
until '63 when the prison closed...

there were 14 attempts.

No one is believed to have made it
to shore-- alive, at least.

Hey, fellas. I'm sorry, but tourists
are not allowed back here.

I don't really give a shit.
You give a shit?

- No. Come here, fruity.
- Move!

- Hey, girls? You havin' a good time?
- Yeah.

Will you do something for me?
It's really-- It's really important.

Tell your teacher that you need to get
back on the boat and go home now.

Ladies and gentlemen,
welcome to Broadway!

This cell block housed...

the most awesome scum
in America.

Ladies and gentlemen,
l, Ranger Bob...

cordially invite you to become inmates
of Alcatraz-- temporarily, of course.

On line!

Pretty tight quarters,
aren't they, huh?

Like being a caged animal.

Spend a couple of years
in there--

- Something wrong with the tour?
- Tour's over, Bob.

What kind of
fucked-up tour is this?

Gen. Hummel, Captains Frye
and Darrow reporting, sir.

Welcome to the Rock.

Land the choppers
and deploy as planned.

- Aye, aye, sir.
- Aye, aye, sir. Move out!

I'm not allowed
to carry a gun!

You're not allowed to carry a gun?
I got a goddamned gun!

If I'd known this would happen, I'd have
brought my motherfuckin' gun! Help!

Gentlemen, this'll be our new home.
I want my command center right here.

- I want coms up.
- Roger that, sir.

Put the satellite over there.
I want to be up at 1600. Let's move it.

Systems up.

Possible penetration point in the shower
room. We're setting anti-intrusion.

I brought a personal touch, sir.
It's an antimotion trembler device.

It's custom-made. Nobody knows
about it and nobody expects it.

-What's it do?
-We head-fake 'em with the laser beam.

Then if they disturb Mr. Backup here,
we own 'em.

Ladies and gentlemen, you're being
detained against your will.

For that I apologize.

It is not our intention
in any way to harm you.

You'll not be detained longer than is
needed for us to complete our mission.

Attention on deck!

Stand easy, men.

Make no mistake about it, gentlemen.
We are now in harm's way.

For Major Baxter and l, this is the
last campaign in a career dating back...

to Tet '68.

Likewise for Captain Hendrix
and Gunnery Sergeant Crisp...

who cut their teeth
under my command in Desert Storm.

Capt. Frye, Capt. Darrow, this is my
first operational situation with you...

and your men, and I have to say thus far
your conduct reflects your reputations.

- Thank you, General.
- Thank you, sir.

We have achieved our position
through poise, precision and audacity.

To this we must
now add resolve.

We'll be branded as traitors,
the gravest capital crime.

Punishable by death.

Two hundred years ago, a few guys named
Washington, Jefferson and Adams...

were branded as traitors
by the British.

And now they're called patriots.

In time, so shall we.

God willing, in less than 48 hours we
will evacuate this island in gunships...

under cover of hostages
and VX. gas warheads.

Your destination:
a nonextradition-treaty country.

You will each be paid a fee
of $1 million for services rendered.

But you can never again
set foot on your native soil.

- Can you live with that?
- Yes, sir!

The men of Marine Force Recon
are selected...

to carry out illegal operations
throughout the world.

When they don't come home...

their families are told fairy tales
about what happened to them...

and denied compensation.

Well, I have choked
on these lies my entire career.

Well, here and now
the lies stop!

God be with all of you.
Man your positions, men.

This is FBl Director Womack.

Director... be advised...

81... I say again...

81 civilians are under my control
as of this moment.

81 civilians are under my control
as of this moment.

You are to take measures to assure this
remains a need-to-know classified fact.

Who is this?

Mr. Director, you have
a very serious problem.

A battery of VX. gas rockets
is presently deployed to deliver...

a highly-lethal strike on the population
of the San Francisco Bay area.

I will call again at 01:00 hours
to state my demands.

- I wanna know who I'm talking to.
- This is Brigadier General...

Francis X. Hummel, United States
Marine Corps from Alcatraz. Out.

I'll cancel
your reservations.

Get the Pentagon and call
the San Francisco office.

It seems Alcatraz
was just reopened.

It seems Alcatraz
was just reopened.

Last night, Gen. Hummel,
using brutal but nonlethal force...

under the guise
of a security exercise...

walked off with 15 VX.
poison-gas rockets.

He lost one of his own men
in the process.

He lost one of his own men
in the process.

That's Gen. Hummel in Vietnam.
I think he was a major at the time.

Three tours in Vietnam,
Panama, Grenada, Desert Storm...

Three Purple Hearts, two Silver Stars
and the Congressional Medal of--

Jesus. This man is a hero.

Well, I think "legend" might be
a better description, Mr. Sinclair.

Well, now we can add kidnapping and
extortion to his list of accolades.

Mr. Sinclair,
Gen. Hummel is a man of honor.

General, it's him.

- Frank, it's Al Kramer.
- Hi, Al. How ya doin'?

I don't know, Frank.
Why don't you tell me?

There are a lot of very,
very worried people here, Frank.

I'll come straight
to the point.

83 Force Reconnaissance Marines
have died under my various commands.

47 in Northern Laos
and Southern China.

Southern China? We never admitted
we sent troops into China.

Who is this?
Identify yourself.

White House Chief of Staff
Hayden Sinclair, General.

How old are you,
Chief of Staff Sinclair?

- I'm 33.
- Well, Mr. Sinclair...

you've probably got no fucking idea
what I'm talking about.

By your ninth birthday,
I was runnin' black ops into China...

and my men were responsible
for over 200 enemy kills.

Now put some rigging tape
over Mr. Sinclair's mouth.

- He's wasting my time.
- Ah, you want to continue, Frank?

Remember Operation Desert Storm?

Those surgical hits made by our
smart bombs covered so well on CNN?

My men on the ground made those hits
possible by lasing the targets.

Twenty of them were left to rot outside
Baghdad after the conflict ended.

No benefits were paid to their families.
No medals conferred.

These men died for their country,
and they weren't even given...

a goddamn military burial.

The situation
is unacceptable.

You will transfer $100 million
from the Grand Cayman Red Sea
Trading Company account...

to an account I designate.

From these funds, reparations of
$1 million will be paid...

to each of
the 83 marines' families.

The rest of the funds
I will disperse at my discretion.

Do I make myself clear?

Except for the Red Sea Trading Company.
What is that?

- ldentify yourself.
- This is FBl Director Womack, General.

It's a slush fund where the Pentagon
keeps proceeds from illegal arms sales.

Jesus, Frank!
This is classified information.

You alert the media,
I launch the gas.

You refuse payment,
I launch the gas.

You've got 40 hours--
'til noon, day after tomorrow--

to arrange transfer of the money.

I am aware of your countermeasure. You
and I know it doesn't stand a chance.

Hummel from Alcatraz, out.

All right.

We have to identify the hostages
and contact each of their families.

Tell 'em somethin'. Make up a story,
and we've got to keep this undercover.

If this comes out, the city of
San Francisco will be in chaos.

I am talking anarchy.

Wait a minute, wait a minute.
What is the potential casualty rate...

for a single rocket armed with
VX. poison gas, Gen. Peterson?

Sixty or seventy.

Well, that's--
that's not so bad.

Thousand.
Seventy thousand dead.

- Oh.
- One teaspoon of this hits the floor...

it's lethal up to...
100 feet.

One teaspoon of this shit
detonated in the atmosphere...

will kill every living organism
in an eight-block radius.

Get the point?

What did Hummel mean by
your "countermeasure," General?

Standard poison
is countered by napalm.

It burns it up,
consumes it upon detonation.

The problem with VX. poison gas...

is that it's designed specifically
to withstand napalm.

That's where thermite plasma
comes in.

- Gen. Peterson?
- Thermite plasma incendiary systems...

can burn hot enough to consume VX.,
but they're still in the test phase.

It's not operational.
Hummel knows this.

We are dealing with
one smart son of a bitch.

What's it gonna take
to equip a flight of F-18s...

with thermite plasma
within the next 36 hours?

- An act of God.
- Excuse me?

All right. We can try.

But I strongly urge you to consider the
use of this as a secondary initiative.

Then we have to go to
our primary initiative. Uh, Admiral?

Sir, I'd like to bring in our SEAL
ground commander, Cmdr. Anderson.

Mr. Womack, who is your best
chemical/biological man?

That's interesting.

- Oh, yeah.
- That's very compelling.

Ahh, you like my pigtails?

Oh, yeah.
Pigtails are naughty.

Naughty, naughty--

You're just an amaretto cream
with peach sorbet persuasion.

This isn't happening.

- No, Stan. Don't answer it.
- This isn't happening!

- No, just don't answer it. It's okay.
- I have to.

It's the office, baby.
They know I'm home.

- How could they know that you're home?
- It's the FBl.

- Stanley! Tsk!
- Goodspeed.

Yeah. Okay.
Yeah, I'll be-- I'll be down--

- Yeah, downstairs in ten minutes.
- No, you won't.

- I have to go to San Francisco.
- No, you don't.

Stanley. No, you do not have
to go to San Francisco.

Are you kidding me? You need to
stay here and talk to me about things.

- I've got to go, baby.
- I am Catholic.

Do you realize that?
I am pregnant and I am unmarried...

and this causes
a serious problem for me.

I cannot believe you.

N-N-No.

I love you.

I will marry you. I just
didn't plan on this, that's all.

Come to San Francisco.

-Really?
-I'm sure it's just a training exercise.

Check into the hotel,
order up some champagne--

- And we'll finish what we started?
- Exactly.

- Baby, you gonna marry me?
- You know it.

You're gonna marry me!
Oh, honey, come on.

- Just a really quick one.
- Oh! Oh! I gotta go!

A nighttime airdrop incursion
is out, due to the full moon.

Likewise a frontal
seaside attack.

If we're compromised and shots
are fired, Hummel might launch.

Our only alternative
is an attack from within the prison.

We penetrate the island...

through the tunnels under
the prison buildings undetected...

and emerge in its center, where we
can jump the marines from behind...

and if we're lucky, take their
rocket positions without a shot fired.

I don't understand.
You've studied the architectural plans?

They're useless.

Alcatraz has been ripped up
and rebuilt for years.

Under there is a maze of shit.

There's no question. We need firsthand
intelligence of the tunnel systems.

- So what about the former warden?
- Died in 1979.

All the guards
we contacted were useless.

Umm... there is someone who,
I think, can help us.

This is for the sake
of national security.

No, it's the sake
of national security...

that got us here in the first place
33 years ago.

I knew-- I knew someday this would
come back to bite us. Forget it.

- He does not exist.
- He does exist!

We just forgot him for 30 years.
We locked him up and threw away the key.

Oh, and a lot of
goddamn good it did us.

He broke out of two maximum security
prisons, and if he hits the streets--

He's not gonna
"hit the streets," Jim!

Thirty years ago he was
a highly-trained S.A.S. operative.

He is my age now,
for Christ's sake.

I have to get up three times
a night to take a piss.

We can't risk letting him out.

He's a professional
escape artist.

Here he is now.

- Ah. Neat, uh--
- Yeah.

- Neat, neat plane.
- Dr. Goodspeed. James Womack.

- Pleasure meeting you, sir. Thank you.
- Welcome.

You come very highly recommended.
B.A., Columbia...

M.A., Ph.D.,
Johns Hopkins.

Biochemistry/toxicology?

Well, I'm one of those fortunate people
who like my job, sir.

Got my first chemistry set
when I was seven. Blew my eyebrows off.

We never saw the cat again.
Been into it ever since.

- What do you know about VX. gas?
- Liquid.

Failed pesticide discovered
by mistake in 1952.

It's kind of like champagne that way.
The Franciscan monks thought...

they were making white wine, somehow
the bottle carbonated, voila, champagne.

- Then the whole thing--
- The gas, Dr. Goodspeed.

It's very horrible, sir. It's one of
those things we wish we could disinvent.

This isn't
a training exercise, is it?

No, Dr. Goodspeed,
it's not a training exercise.

- Ernest.
- Good morning, Director.

This is Ernest Paxton, agent in charge
of the West Coast operation.

Dr. Goodspeed.

- Pleasure to meet you.
- How do you do, sir?

It's been a fairly interesting day
so far. The prisoner's here. Shall we?

My boys haven't been able to find a file
on this guy. Who is he, anyway, sir?

His name is John Mason,
a British national...

incarcerated
on Alcatraz in 1962...

escaped in '63.

I was under the impression that
no one escaped Alcatraz, sir.

Paxton, don't argue!

This man
has no identity...

not in the United States
or Great Britain.

He does not exist.
Understand?

I want one thing:
How he escaped the Rock.

Specifically, the route he took
through the island's bowels.

Papers are in order, sir.

We're prepared
to offer him a full pardon.

And, Paxton, no strong-arming Mason.
I know him too well.

Well, if you know him,
then why don't you question him?

No, he'll remember me. I don't
want his anger clouding the issue.

All right,
I'll take care of him.

Mr. Mason, I'm special agent
in charge Ernest Baxter.

In charge of what? Fucking me over
for another three decades?

I don't know anything about your
previous matters. I'm here because...

a special situation exists that we feel
you might be able to help us with.

Now, what might that be? I've been
in jail longer than Nelson Mandela...

so maybe you want me
to run for president.

- Not exactly.
- Ah, pity.

I feel rather like Alcamenes.

- Who?
- Alcamenes.

He was imprisoned by his king
in ancient Greece.

Like Sir Walter Raleigh.
Same fate.

- James the First.
- Even someone as bright as you...

must be aware that, uh, there's
a certain pattern emerging here.

Alexander Solzhenitsyn?

Yeah, I heard of him. Didn't he
play hockey for the fuckin' Red Wings?

- That's the chap.
- Get this straight, Pops.

I don't like you any more
than you like me.

But I'm here to make you
a legitimate offer.

You wanna hear
what I have to say or not?

By all means,
dear Paxton, by all means.

We got a problem
in a place that I think you know.

There's a hostage situation
on Alcatraz.

Hostage?

Eighty-one tourists.

The Rock has become
a tourist attraction?

Why don't we cut the shit, huh?
You know the Rock. You broke out.

- Yes, successfully.
- Y eah.

So why don't you do yourself a favor
while you're helpin' us.

I mean, it'd be nice to get out
of jail while you're still vertical.

Hmm? While you got a little lead
left in your pencil?

While I'm considering
your offer...

I want a suite
at the Fairmont Hotel.

You know, I'm here
to cut you a deal.

I am not here to bend over
and take it up the ass from you.

Here. Here's a quarter.

Do yourself a favor.
Call your lawyer.

You're goin' back to jail.

- You're sending him back to jail?
- I'm not sending him anywhere.

I'm just givin' him
somethin' to think about.

With all due respect, sir...

we don't have time for him
to think about it.

- Oh, really?
- No, Goodspeed's right. Go talk to him.

- Me? Sir, I'm not qualified for that.
- Yes.

- You're an FBl agent.
- What is your specialty again?

- Chemical weapons.
- Don't mention that!

- You want me to lie?
- Yeah, lie.

We got less than 24 hours.
Give it a shot.

Okay.

Hiya!

I'm an agent with the, uh...

eh, Federal-- FBl.

Uh-- Eh, well, my--
I'm Stanley Goodspeed.

- But of course you are.
- At least he got his name right.

- Of course I am.
- And you have an emergency.

That's right.

- And you need my help.
- Exactly right.

Coffee.

No, no, I'm fine,
thank you.

Offer me coffee.

Oh, yes. Well, that was,
in fact, going to be my next--

Could we get a cup of coffee
in here, please?

And offer...
to take these off.

Mr. Mason, really.

- All kidding aside--
- As a gesture of your good faith.

Prisoner requests
to have his handcuffs taken off.

No, no, no!

Look, why don't you go ahead and
have his handcuffs taken off, please?

Well, I guess that's
one way to go.

This is a pardon and release contract
from the Attorney General's office.

Now, it makes you a free man...
provided you cooperate.

So, if you'll just,
ah, sign, uh, eh...

- uh, where it says--
- "Signature"?

- That's-- Yes. "Signature."
- Well...

timeo Danaos
et dona ferentis.

"l fear the Greeks
even when they bring gifts."

Oh, an educated man.

That rules out the possibility of you
being a field agent.

In point of fact,
I am a field agent, Mr. Mason.

- Really.
- Yes.

- In which field?
- Antiterrorism.

Then you're trained in weaponry,
explosives and mortal combat.

Well-trained.

Then it's the Fairmont Hotel.

Okay.

I want a suite...
a shower, a shave...

and the feel of a suit.

- May I also suggest a haircut.
- Am I out of style?

Unless you're a 20-year-old
guitarist from Seattle.

- It's a grunge thing.
- Grunge?

Yeah. Well, uh, uh--
Okay. Thank you very much.

All right. Call the Fairmont.
Close the floor if necessary...

but I want him sealed off,
and he gets two hours max.

Great job, Goodspeed.

Why didn't you
throw in a trip to Tahiti?

I'll deliver this
to the Attorney General.

No. Give it to me, Reynolds.
Take Attorney Reynolds outside.

There's a car waiting for you.
Thank you.

That's a signed Federal document, sir.
Isn't that illegal?

You're not acquainted
with the full facts, Goodspeed.

With all due respect, sir, I'd like
clarification. I gave that man my word.

Damn it! You're on a need-to-know basis,
and you don't need to know!

It's uh, eh, kind of curious,
but, uh--

Sir Walter Raleigh, Alcamenes,
Solzhenitsyn, they, uh--

Well, they were all
wrongfully imprisoned.

Womack!

Now, why am I not surprised?
You piece of shit!

Hey, peace! Peace!

Hey, we're not home. Leave a message.

Hi, darling, it's, uh, it's me.

Uh, listen, don't come
to San Francisco. I repeat, do not...

come to San Francisco

- Stanley, no! Like hell I'm not comin'!
- Carla! Carla!

Wait! Carla--

Who's Carla? And why don't you
want her to come to San Francisco?

You're on a need-to-know basis,
and you don't need to know.

Watch it, he'll bite you!

Good. Mobile command
is fully operational.

Good. Mobile command
is fully operational.

We'll be there
in approximately two hours.

- I'm not armed, sir.
- Hmm?

- I am unarmed, sir.
- Well, where's your issue?

I left it in my--
uh, my sock drawer.

A gun?

For what?
You're a chemical freak.

I'm a chemical super-freak,
actually, but I still need a gun.

Give 'im a goddamn gun.

Have you fired one of those things
since the academy?

Hello-o-o.

- No. Stylist.

Barber.

Just clippers, no scissors.

No scissors? You've got to be
kidding me, no scissors.

I mean, did they tell Picasso
"no brush"?

-With scissors, this man could kill you.

So, what do you have in store
for me, Womack, when this is over?

You'll get your life back, Mason.

But you could've given me
my life back years ago.

Why should I trust you now?

You've got my word.

Will you shake on it?

Freeze, mister!

Oh, man!

Help!

Drop the gun...
or I drop your boss.

Oh, my God! Oh, my God!

All units, this is Caretaker.
We have a signal six. He's in the hotel!

Okay, I don't wanna know
nothin'. I never saw you throw
that gentleman off the balcony.

All I care about is,
are you happy with your haircut?

Aah! Easy! Aah!

Watch it, you fuckhead!
You're gonna pull my arm out!

Watch out! Aah!

- Uuh!
- Watch it!

- Hey, watch it!
- He's right over there!

This is my Humvee. I don't want
any dings, dents or scratches,
or I'll have your ass. Hey!

Hey! Stop! Hey!

I was inside
the bedroom with Jack Powell!

- Hey, call the guard!
- Go!

FBl.

Whoa! Whoa!

Suspect is in a black Humvee
heading west on California.

Speed approximately
70 miles per hour.

Get out of the way!

I want a net put on this
son of a bitch, you hear me?

This guy's hittin' every fuckin' thing
in sight tryin' to block us!

I hope you're insured!

Oh, well, why not?

You're goin' down!

Hello?

Sie haben meine Hummer gestolen!

I'm only borrowing your Humvee!

lnformation?

San Francisco.

Uh, Jade Angelou.
That's A-N-G--

Welcome aboard, y'all.
How y'all doin' today?

Hang on!

Holy shit!

Whoa-oa!

Oh, no!

We're gonna crash!
Save yourselves!

Oh, my baby!

Oh, no!

Oh, no.

Oh! Oh, God.

Oh, God!

Hey, man.
You just fucked up your Ferrari.

- Oh, no!
Baby's goin' down in flames!
- It's not mine.

Neither is this.

Damn! This sucks!
Where's that son of a bitch at?

I'm gonna hunt him down!
That motherfucker ain't safe nowhere!

Chem Weapons, lsherwood.

Marvin, look up
Wolfburg Federal Penitentiary.

The inmate is Mason, John.

Stan, listen. I'm gettin'
out of this government shithole.

I'm goin' over to Orkin
to design Roach Motels. Cool, huh?

Look, I just stole
a kid's motorcycle.

I'm not really feeling too good
about it, okay? Wolfburg, got it?

Y eah, I got it. All right,
Magrane, Masconi, Masters. No Mason.

Go to February '76. Who was transferred
to Wolfburg from San Quentin?

This is weird.

They got medical records,
they got place of birth-- Glasgow--

Uh, but they don't
have a name.

Uh, wait a minute,
wait a minute!

They have next of kin. A Jade Angelou
of 32 Stenson Drive, San Francisco.

Jade?

No, I'm Stacy,
Jade's Friend.

Were you afraid
to come alone?

Yeah.

It's okay.

I'll be over here
if you need me.

Last photograph I had of you,
you were about ten. Yeah?

I found a picture of you among
my mom's things... when she died.

Oh, yeah? Well, uh--

- Why don't we take a walk?
- I got 'im. Palace of Fine Arts.

Your mother, uh--
Ya know, well, she was very special.

Yeah, she was.

But I don't think we should romanticize
what happened between you and her.

Meeting in a bar
after a Led Zeppelin concert.

Head out,
and I was the result.

Well, I'd like to think
it would've led somewhere, if only--

If only what?

Six federal marshals hadn't kicked down
our door and dragged you back to prison?

I'm sorry.

It's all right.

- So they let you out?
- Y eah.

That's good.

What did you do?

"l do"?

Jade, I don't have
a great deal of time here.

But I'll be coming back,
and, uh...

- Maybe we can---
- What? We can what?

You know...

you're almost the only evidence
that I exist.

But I don't know you.

That's what I want
to change, eh?

I've rehearsed this speech
a thousand times on the chance
that we would meet.

Here we are...
and I'm lost.

Well, I don't know how
I'm supposed to be feeling either.

Jade, I'm not an evil man.

If you can believe that,
then it's a start.

Okay.

Is this about you?

You broke out of prison again,
didn't you?

- Why did you come to me?
- FBl, ma'am.

Your father's working with us.
He's helping us resolve
a dangerous situation.

- He is?
- Yes, ma'am.

Well, gee whiz, John,
I guess we oughta get goin', huh?

Whatever you say, Stanley.

Thank you for that.
You could've handled it differently.

What do you say we cut
the chitchat, a-hole?

You almost got me killed twice,
and my jaw hurts like hell.

- Good.
- Cocksucker!

If I had my way, you would be shipped
back to Wolfburg in leg irons...

and caged like an animal for the rest
of your natural fuckin' life!

You wrecked half the city!

-Give me a hand with the system.
-Now, tell me about the tunnels.

If you know the system, it will
take you wherever you need to go.

All right, there's an intake pipe here,
below low tide. Is that our best access?

- Yes, that's exactly where I came out.
- Then beneath the cistern--

- Yes, that's exactly where I came out.
- Then beneath the cistern--

There's a connection to the abandoned
septic system. How many feet is that?

Ehh... 57 paces.

Where do we go from there?

Where do you go from there?

That's a good question.

I have no idea.

- What?

I mean... I'll know
when we're all inside.

No. You're not goddamn goin'.
Show us on the blueprints.

I can't!
My blueprint was in my head.

I was underground
for three days in the dark...

just waiting for the tides
to be right.

But don't worry.
It'll all come back to me.

You're not going anywhere,
Mason.

Wait a second.

This piece of work might be the only
chance those people over there have.

If he's not going, then why
the hell did we get him out of jail?

- He's smart.
- I got him out to get you
people in, not go with you.

If it's the only way of getting
the intelligence I need...

- then he goes.
- He'll fuck with you.

You compromise my men's lives,
and I'll bury you out there.

Now, Womack, you're between
the Rock and a hard case.

Hmm. How's your bowling arm?

Dr. Goodspeed, the goal is
to take out the launchers...

then neutralize
the VX. chemical rounds.

Well, we know the poison's being
kept in the prison morgue from
the satellite thermal imaging...

which is right here,
these colorized dots.

Have you ever actually seen
one of these devices?

No, sir,
but I've studied them.

I should really begin briefing your guys
on defusing and detoxification.

Got a really neat layout here
of the chem round as well as the
rocket, so let's get rolling.

That won't be necessary.

Oh, it's very necessary, sir.

The power of this chemical is way
beyond anything you can imagine.

An ecological disaster, sir.

Plus, the devices themselves
are complicated.

That's why you're
coming with us.

I am?

You're the expert.
What's your problem?

You mean I'm going--
going out there... under the water?

Earlier today you wanted a gun.
Now you're getting a gun and a wet suit.

Have you ever been
in a combat situation?

- Define "combat," sir.
- Shep?

An incursion underwater to
retake an impregnable fortress
held by an elite team...

of U.S. Marines in possession
of 81 hostages and 15 guided rockets...

armed with VX. poison gas.

Oh. In that case, no, sir.
Excuse me.

- Here.
- Ah, thank you.

You don't look too good.

In fact, you look like shit.

My stomach's doing hula hoops
around my ass.

You all right? I mean,
you gonna make it through this thing?

I don't know.

I always expected something
like this was going to happen,
but nothing prepares you for it.

Now I'm--
I'm responsible...

for a whole city.

Look, I know this isn't easy for you.

Remember, you were trained
for this kind of situation....

and believe me,
it'll come back to you.

Besides, you got the best SEAL team
in the country backin' you up.

Okay.
You're right.

I'll be on the wire.
I'll help talk you through it.

There's something else.

It's terrible--
N-No, it's wonderful...

except it isn't.

My girlfriend's pregnant...

and she's...
just flown in to see me.

You keep your mind on what you're
going to be doing out there tonight...

and I'll send someone to pick up
your girlfriend and bring her
here to the command center.

and I'll send someone to pick up
your girlfriend and bring her
here to the command center.

- Hummel!
- Hello, Frank. Lou Linstrom.

I'm at the White House
with General Kramer.

Uh, Frank, we're havin' a few problems
with the account transfer.

Don't tell me problems,
tell me solutions.

We've spoken to the president,
and I know that you're aware
of his stance on terrorism...

- so what we'd like to do--
- This isn't about terrorism.
This is about justice.

It's about reminding you people
who found it politically
convenient to forget.

This is goin' nowhere, Frank.

Well, let me tell you what is:
15 VX. gas rockets into
the heart of San Francisco.

You've got 17 hours
to deliver the money.

Or be prepared to reap
the whirlwind, gentlemen.

What's the word
from Mojave?

General Peterson can give us
no definite assurance
on the thermite plasma.

That is the word.

Green light
to SEAL incursion.

Fall in!

All right. Listen up.
Mr. Mason will run point for us.

Lieutenant Shepard will be
attached to his hip.

You breathe,
he breathes with you.

You piss, he helps.
Understood?

Dr. Goodspeed
is our specialist.

When he neutralizes the threat,
we launch green flares
and we wait for the cavalry.

Make no mistake, gentlemen,
we're in the fight of our lives...

against maybe the greatest
battalion commander...

in the Vietnam War,
I shit you not.

Any questions?

Let's load up!

After you, ace.

Pass out and activate
the Minicams.

Everything set here?

Minicams operational?

Roger that, sir.
We are on line.

Shep, what's the status on the special
operational gear for Mr. Mason?

Let's see, we have, uh...

one quart of kerosene
and a squeeze bottle...

three washers
and waterproof matches.

Use the green flares to signal
when the threat has been neutralized.

Now, this is atropine.
If you come in contact with the gas...

you have 20 seconds
to inject it into your heart.

Don't fuck with me on this.
It may save your life.

I have three incoming bogeys
bearing 2-7-5. Range: 6,000 meters.

FBl Command Center?

- Oh, I would just love for you
to tell me what is goin' on.
- Nope.

Listen, Stanley Goodspeed
is my boyfriend.

- Actually, he's my fiance. Where is he?
- Classified, lady.

Okay, well you just sit here
and act like a Bureau bonehead, then.

Hey, where are you--
Goddamn it.

Decoy choppers commencing
run to Alcatraz.

I just lost one, sir.
I just lost one.

We only got two flying in.
I just lost one.

Shit.

In my day, we did it all with
a snorkel and a pair of flippers.

- Your day?
- Yes, didn't you read my resume?

I don't-- I don't know
anything about you.

- I know something about you, Godspell.
- Goodspeed.

Goodspeed,
Godspeed, Godspell,

you never went to
any anti-terrorist school.

So just make sure you don't
get us all fucking killed.

We're going dark.

Night vision!

Raider One has dropped
below radar coverage...

heading around Treasure lsland.

Sir, we've got two bogeys
bearing due east and closing.

Decoys?

- Prepare to deploy!
- Good luck, Commander.

Sir, Raider One
is at the drop zone.

Stanley's not a very good swimmer.
I mean, he can't even snorkel.

- Everyone, good to go?
- Good to go!

- Good to go!
- Good to go!

So the S.D.U.s have been deployed,
and the Eagles are in the water.

Major, I want the perimeter patrolled
to the west end of the island.

- Yes, sir. Hendrix, lead the patrol.
- Aye, sir.

Let's move! Move out,
move out, move out!

The Eagles are on the rock.
They've entered the cistern room.

Thank you very fucking much, Mr. Mason.
You sent us into a room with no exit.

Any ideas, Dillinger?

Figure it out soon.
We're sitting ducks.

-Real tight on time.
-You stand by the door. Until I open it.

I'd like to know how you plan
on accomplishing that.

Through here.

- You're shitting me.
- I memorized the timing.

I just hope
it hasn't been changed.

- You catch one of those
flame bursts, you're a corpse.
- Thank you.

- Commander, you said never
leave his side, but, uh--
- Stand fast, Lieutenant.

Have a nice day.

- Where'd you dig up this guy?
- That's classified.

Clear here, sir.
No motion sensors tripped.

Nothing.

Well, tell them
to stay out there.

Sweep forward!

Looks like he fucked us,
Commander.

I knew it.
That son of a bitch jumped ship.

Welcome to the Rock.

Mason.

That's a no-no.
That's the subway.

That'll drop you
into the tunnels.

Do it!

Sir, the Eagles
have breached the tunnel system.

You enjoying this?

Well, it's certainly
more enjoyable than my average day:

reading philosophy,
avoiding gang rape in the washroom.

Though it's less of a problem these
days. Maybe I'm losing my sex appeal.

We've got seismic activity
in one of the storm grates. North side.

Continue patrolling the area.

Sweep forward.

Commander, halt.
We've got movement.

They're hearing
sounds above, sir.

Stand fast.
Down, down, down.

West storm drain's clear.

Ninety-seven paces
to the shower room.

The Eagles are now at the access tunnel.
They're under the shower room, sir.

Fiber optics.

Something's not right.

I've got a bad feeling
about this.

Quiet.

Motion sensors.

- Beams cutting across manhole covers.
- Deal with it.

Commander, the beam is hitting
some sort of reflective device.

Possibly a prism.

I want to use a mirror
to cut the beam...

send the beam
back to its source...

and then I'm
going to move the prism.

We've got motion on a trembler
in the shower room, sir.

We've got visitors.
Let's move.

Got it. Good to go.

Stand fast.
We'll secure the area.

They're entering
to the shower room, sir.

They're securing the area.

Just sit tight.

Drop your weapons!
Drop 'em!

- Get back!
- Hold your fire.

Drop your weapons.
Hold your fire!

It's a fucking trap.

This is Gen. Hummel.
Drop your weapons.

Drop 'em!

Anderson here, Gen. Hummel.
Commander. Team leader.

Cmdr. Anderson, if you have any concern
for the lives of your men...

you will order them to safety their
weapons and place them on the deck.

This is not happening.

Sir, we know why you're out here.
God knows I agree with you.

But like you, I swore to defend
this country against all enemies...

foreign, sir, and domestic.

General, we've spilled
the same blood in the same mud.

You know goddamn well
I can't give that order.

We're dead.

Your unit is covered from
an elevated position, Commander.

I'm not gonna ask again.
Don't do anything stupid.

No one has to die here.

Men following the general, you're
under oath as United States Marines!

Have you forgotten that?

We all have shipmates
we remember.

Some of them were shit on
and pissed on by the Pentagon.

But that doesn't give you
the right to mutiny!

You call it what you want!
You're down there; we're up here.

You walked into the wrong
goddamn room, Commander!

- Stand fast!
- Commander, one last time.

You tell your men
to safety their weapons.

- I cannot give that order!
- I am not gonna repeat that order!

- I will not give that order!
- What the hell is wrong with you, man?

- Stand fast!
- Oh, my God!

- Let's waste these fuckers.
- One last time.

You order your men
to safety their weapons--

Cease fire!

Don't go.

Cease fire!

Cease fire!

Shit. Goddamn it.
Let go of me. Let go of me!

Don't, don't go.

Fuck.

It's over.

Oh, God!

We got some movement.

- Who? Who is it?
- Two of 'em. Eagles 11 and 12.

It's Goodspeed and Mason.

I knew it.

I've gotta get a team together.
We've gotta move with the second option.

What, and invite
another massacre? No way.

We've got a 60-year-old convict and
a lab rat. I'm telling you, it's over.

Not for Mason it isn't.

Goodspeed, I'm not
gonna kill you.

- Where are you going?
- Off this bloody island.

What? Wh-- What for?

Goodspeed, do you read me?

It's for you.

- Sir?
- What's the status?

The status is, they're dead.
They're dead!

It's just me and Mason.
Now he says he's leaving.

That is unacceptable,
do you hear me? Unacceptable!

Well, there's a problem, sir.
He's got a gun.

What do you have,
a fuckin' water pistol?

- No, sir.
- Go after him and stop him.

I didn't want this.
Jesus, I didn't want this.

- We knew this might happen.
- Maybe now they'll pay up.

- Maybe now they won't, Captain.
- Maybe we need to execute
a few hostages.

- Got a live one!
- Put a bullet in him.

You heard him, end it.

Holster that sidearm, Captain!

Sir?

You made a terrible mistake. And more
of our brothers have died in vain.

Damn you for forcing me
into this position.

I need to talk to you.
Right now, alone.

Now you told me
I'm on a need-to-know basis...

and I'm tellin' you right now
I need to know who the fuck
John Mason is right now, sir.

All right, you wanna know?
1962, J. Edgar Hoover...

is head of the FBl,
some say the country.

It's no secret he kept
microfilm files on prominent
Americans and Europeans:

de Gaulle, British members
of Parliament, even the prime minister.

I mean, this guy had dirt
on everybody in the world.

Y eah. I know all
the cloak-and-dagger stories.
Where does Mason fit in?

Mason was the British operative
who stole the files.

But our Bureau agents
caught him at the Canadian border.

Of course, the British claimed
they'd never heard of him.

And we held him without trial
until he gave up the microfilm.

But he never did.

I'm surprised Hoover didn't
use his daughter as leverage.

Hoover was dead in '72.
She wasn't born yet.

Today, well, it's
a different bureau.

So you held this guy without trial
his whole life. No wonder he's pissed.

This man knows our most intimate secrets
from the last half-century:

the alien landing
at Roswell, the truth about
the J.F.K. assassination.

And Mason's angry, he's lethal.
He's a trained killer.

And he is the only hope
that we have got.

Mason! Mason!

There are 81 hostages
still up there.

Y eah. Like me.

You wanna play tough?
You wanna play tough with me?

Okay, FBl!
Freeze, sucker!

- I'll fire.
- No, you won't.

- Throw down.
- You're not the sort.

Let's find out.

I could; you, no.

Besides, your safety's on.

Goodspeed, have you
resolved the situation?

Not yet.

He's got
all the guns now, sir.

Shit!

You're right. I don't use guns
and I don't kick down doors.
This is what I do.

I haven't got my glasses.

What it says is,
"Chemical Weapons Specialist."

That's right.

I got a lunatic up there, man,
with 15 missiles...

armed with some
really funky stuff.

That lying Womack.
You could've told my daughter.

It was classified.

Look, I'm in
the same situation.

They've got my girlfriend in the city
with a baby on the way.

Look, I can
defuse the rockets.

I really can.

But I'm gonna need your help,
and I'm gonna need it right now.

Sir, this man's weapons
and tack radio are missing!

Shit, we got a rodent problem.
Flush the pipes.

There's probably a maze of
tunnels on this goddamn island.
Check every access you can find.

Sir!

Even if you escape
from the island...

you can't escape
the rockets.

So, where are you gonna go?

Go where?
What're you gonna do?

Show me where
the morgue is, Mason.

I'm out of here.

What about your daughter? Mason?

Rodents located.

The way I see it, you don't
really have any choice, do you?
I don't think you do.

Move!

Ooooh!

They're on to us.

Burn 'em out.

This mother's gonna blow big.

I don't understand. How could we
lose radio contact all of a sudden?

We've lost coms.
Still got 'em on locaters.

- So what's it gonna be?
- What?

- How do you like your choices?
- I don't.

- That's what I thought.
- Come on.

- That's what I thought.
- Come on.

This is the oldest part of Alcatraz.

Did you know it was originally
a Civil War fort?

Oh, really? Y eah, wow.
You know, I like history, too...

and maybe when this is over,
you and I can stop by
the souvenir shop together...

but right now, I just-- I just--
I wanna find some rockets.

Don't tempt me.

We are going
to the morgue.

- You sure you're ready for this?
- I'll do my best.

Your best?

Losers always whine
about their best.

Winners go home
and fuck the prom queen.

Carla was the prom queen.

- Really?
- Yeah.

Locaters have them
approaching the morgue, sir.

Come on, come on,
you can do it, Doc.

You must
never hesitate.

I think you're shooting
too close to the rocket.

Him, but not the rocket.

Any other news,
professor?

The rocket!
Not the rocket!

I got a little something
for ya.

Yeah, okay, that's just about
the most awful thing I've ever seen.

Mason... the second
you don't respect this, it kills you.

Put it over there.

You've been around
a lot of corpses. Is that normal?

- What, the feet thing?
- Yeah, the feet thing.

- Yeah, that happens.
- Can you do something about it?

Like what?
Kill him again?

Listen, I'm
just a biochemist.

Most of the time, I work in a glass jar
and lead a very uneventful life.

I drive a Volvo,
a beige one.

But what I'm dealing with is one
of the most deadly substances
the earth has ever known.

So what do you say
you cut me some friggin' slack?

A really elegant
string-of-pearls configuration.

Unfortunately,
incredibly unstable.

What exactly
does this stuff do?

If the rocket renders it aerosol, it can
take out the entire city of people.

Really? What happens
if you drop one?

Happily, it'll just
wipe out you and me.

- How?
- It's a cholinesterase inhibitor.

It stops the brain from
sending nerve messages down the
spinal cord within 30 seconds.

Any epidermal exposure or
inhalation, and you'll know.

A twinge at the small
of your back as the poison
seizes your nervous system.

Do not move that!

Your muscles freeze,
you can't breathe...

you spasm so hard you break
your own back, spit your guts out.

But that's after
your skin melts off.

My God.

Well, I think we'd like God
on our side at the moment, don't you?

So what I'm doing now is removing
the guidance system chips...

so the rocket'll splash
down after 500 feet.

All right, let me have that.
You can let go of it.

All right, just back away.
Just back away!

Sir, morgue team
has not checked in.

Blackbird One,
it's Blackbird, over.

Blackbird One,
this is Blackbird, come in, goddamn it!

Somebody's still there.
Let's move!

Rats alive! Close on the morgue!
Close on the morgue!

Go, go, go, go,
go, go, go, go!

Frye, Darrow, hustle up.
We got more company!

Hold it! Converge
on the morgue! Move out!

Goodspeed, come on.
Come over here.

Yeah, I love pressure,
I eat it for breakfast.

Come on. Time's up.

There's three rockets
somewhere else. We have to find them!

Come on!

Clear!

I'm too old for this!

- Where's it go?
- I've no idea.

Sir, all the guidance
chips are gone.

Captain, I guess you didn't quite
take care of the rat problem.

No, sir.

Well, there are two dead men who
strongly suggest you go finish the job.

Yes, sir.
Yes, sir!

- You really don't know where this goes?
- No, I don't know where it goes.

Well, we're picking up speed.
Do you know how to slow it down?

No, I don't.

God!

Mason! You all right?

Yes, perfectly okay,
you fucking idiot.

They're coming.

- Who?
- The marines!

Where?

- What the fuck's goin' on?
- Let's cut him off.

Mason!

Mason!

You motherfucker,
die, die, die!

I'm rather glad
you didn't hesitate too long.

How do you do it?

Oh, I was trained by the best.
British lntelligence.

Come on.

But in retrospect, I'd rather
have been a poet or a farmer.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay, the president
arrives in three hours.

Okay, the president
arrives in three hours.

His directive is to string Hummel along
until the air strike is operational.

What's the word
from Mojave, General?

Same as last time, Lou.
They're going as fast as they can.

Do it over here.

On your knees!

Navy SEALS, listen up.

You've got something
that belongs to me.

Twelve guidance chips
to be precise.

Let me remind you that there
are lives at stake, civilian lives.

Speak up.

- Speak up!
- Oh! I, uh--

- Uh--
- Tell them your name.

My name is Larry Henderson.

Oh, man.

And I'm a father
of three, and, uh...

they've got
a gun to my head.

You've got exactly three minutes
to return the guidance chips...

or Mr. Henderson
won't have a head.

Oh, no.
Hey, what--

Now, three to go.
You find them and defuse them.

- Okay?
- All right. All right.

I'll try and delay Hummel
and give you more time.

Hey, what about
Mr. Henderson's head?

Okay. What do you mean?

Okay.

General.

Who the hell are you?

I'm all that's left
of the enemy.

Bingo.

Stand easy.

Thought I'd been
in the service a long time.

Name and rank, sailor.

It's Army, actually.

Answer the question.
And address him as "General, sir."

Captain John Patrick Mason,
General, sir....

of Her Majesty's S.A.S.

Retired, of course.

You're a long way
from home, Captain.

How the hell are you
involved in this?

I have a unique knowledge
of this prison facility.

I was, uh...
formerly a guest here.

Hi, sweetie.

Hey, come back here,
little boy.

Did they bother to tell you
who I am, why I'm doing this...

or are they just using you
like they do everybody else?

All I know is you were big in Vietnam.
I saw the highlights on television.

You wouldn't have any idea what
it means to lead the finest men
on God's earth into battle...

and then see their memory betrayed
by their own fuckin' government!

I don't quite see how you
cherish the memory of the dead
by killing another million.

And, uh...
this is not combat.

It's an act of lunacy,
General, sir.

Personally, I think
you're a fuckin' idiot.

"The tree of liberty
must be refreshed from time to time...

"with the blood
of patriots and tyrants."
Thomas Jefferson.

"Patriotism is
the virtue of the vicious,"
according to Oscar Wilde.

Thank you
for making my point.

Where are the guidance chips?
Where are the guidance chips!

I destroyed them.

That was a bad move, soldier.

Does that mean
you'll execute us both?

You're lucky that old man
Hummel wants you alive.

'Cause I'd take pleasure
in guttin' you, boy.

I'd take pleasure
in guttin' you... boy.

I'll take pleasure
in guttin' you. Boy.

What is wrong with these
people, huh, Mason?

Don't you think there's a lot
of anger floatin' around this island?

Kind of a pubescent volatility?
Don't you think?

A lot of angst, lot of "I'm 16,
I'm angry at my father" syndrome?

I mean, grow up!
We're stuck on an island...

with a bunch of
violence-for-pleasure-seeking
psychopathic marines.

Shame on them!

Anyway, I only got one chem rod,
and there's two left.

Mason?

Yes, I'm here.

I was just thinking
how wonderful it was...

when the inmates weren't
allowed to talk in here.

Not allowed to talk.

How did you do it?

Nurtured the hope
that there was hope...

that one day I'd breathe
free air.

Perhaps meet my daughter.

Modest hopes,
but they kept a man alive.

What did they put you
away for, John?

Oh, that's a long story.

Well, I'm not
going anywhere.

When was the last communication
from our men on Alcatraz?

Seven hours.

Thermite plasma is operational.

Get me the president.

Be seated. Gentlemen,
consider yourselves on ground alert.

If we receive launch authority,
your mission:

the complete thermal destruction
of Alcatraz lsland.

The entire island is to be blanketed,
not one square inch missed.

Eighty-one American civilians
and a number of U.S. Marines
will lose their lives.

Why didn't you just tell them where
the microfilm was and create a solution?

The moment they had
the microfilm, they'd suicide me.

- Some solution.
- You ended up here.

Which brings me
to another question.

You broke out-- let me see
if I can get this straight--

you went down the incinerator chute,
on the mine car...

through the tunnels
to the power plant...

under the steam engine--
that was really cool, by the way--

and into the cistern
through the intake pipe...

but how,
in the name of Zeus's butthole...

did you get
out of your cell?

I only ask because
in our current situation...

well, it could prove to be
useful information, maybe!

Trade secrets, my son.

Wow.

General, two operational
rockets left.

One at the lower lighthouse
and one at the roof.

Both of the birds are ready
to fly, sir. General, can you hear me?

- I heard you, Captain.
- Just makin' sure.

Should we... prepare
for launch, General?

I'll handle
the strategy, Captain.

Yes, sir.

The hour is approaching. Just letting
the General know of the time, sir.

I'm very aware
of the time, Captain.

Aye, aye, sir.
Lettin' you know.

Me and my boys are cocked,
locked and ready to rock.

Mason, where are you going?

Thirty years ago I vowed
I wouldn't die in this toilet.

You're not leaving! There's a madman
in there with his hand on a button!

Shhh. Some sniper's
gonna get his ass.

Stop moving, Mason.

Mason, stop moving.

Hummel won't do it.
He's a soldier, not a murderer.

I read it in his eyes.

Read his eyes? Oh, well,
then everything's just fine!

- I can't afford to take that chance.
- Why don't you talk louder?

Three minutes to go, sir.

- They're not gonna call for it.
- Oh, they'll call.

They'll call if we fire
one of our rockets up their ass.

Sir.

- Hummel.
- Hi, Frank, it's Al Kramer here.

- How's it going out there?
- How do you think it's going?

- We're gonna need another hour, Frank.
- You've got three minutes.

- We have to get authorization
from the president.
- You've got three minutes.

Frank, please don't do
anything stupid.

They want another hour.

That's bullshit.
That's bullshit, General. They're lying.

They're calling our bluff, sir.
They're playing you for a fool.

Sir, order the launch, General.

Come on, General,
let's be all we can be.

The mission's not complete!

Well, mine is.

When this is over,
you'll go back home...

driving Carla and your baby
insane in your beige Volvo.

And I'll be dead, or back in prison,
which is the same thing.

You're not leaving.

All right...
I'll do it myself.

I got three weeks'
weapons training.

I'll kick the-- out of
a platoon full of marines.

No problem.

Major, patch me
into roof battery.

Aye, sir.

Fire open control circuit
coordinates to the roof, sir.

Let's go!

Laser powered up.

Oh, no.

I said, on your knees!

My name's Stanley Goodspeed.

I'm a chemical weapons
specialist for the FBl.

- Uh, glass or plastic?
- What?

- Glass or plastic!
- Shut the fuck up!

Because if the winds change,
and if you launch those rockets,
we're all gonna die.

Shut up!

And you're gonna end up in either
a glass jar or a plastic bag.

So do the math, hand over the gun
and let's go find some rockets!

I said shut the fuck--

You made the right choice.

I decided I didn't want your child
growing up without a father.

Hey, the last time I swam
this channel I was your age.

So I'm fucked either way.
So come on.

The weapon is hot.
I am standing by for the launch command.

Man, killing Navy SEALs is one thing--
Is this for real?

Hey, it's business.

Access code entered.
Weapon available for release.

Launch coordinates:

six, seven, five, four,
five, niner.

The weapon is hot.

I'm standing by
for launch command.

It's affirmative.

Standing by for command.

I'm waiting for
a launch command, General.

- Fire.
- Fire!

Missile loose!
Missile loose!

Origin: Alcatraz, 67253725.

What's the heading?

Heading 185 degrees
south southeast.

- Speed?
- 300 knots.

It's headed
right at Oakland.

The football game.

Oh, my God.

Missile radically
changing direction.

New direction: 275 degrees west.
It's headed out to sea, sir.

Oh, Christ!

Missile losing altitude.
Falling.

Falling, 300 feet, 200, 100.

Bogey detonated under water.

What the fuck?

- It missed.
- Well, that's great.

Extremely great,
but there's still one left.

What happened to the rocket?
What happened to the coordinates?

What the fuck is going on?
Sir! Major!

Captain, step outside.

- Talk to me, sir.
- Captain, step outside!

Get me the Pentagon.

What the hell
was that, Frank?

- I said, what the hell--
- I heard what you said!

- I'd appreciate a little more respect.
- Cut the crap, General.

- What the hell are you doing?
- I'm not ready to kill these people.

- Call the Pentagon. Ask for more time.
- No.

Do it, Frank!
We're coming loose.

You're coming loose.
The rest of us are in complete control.

- We're gonna ask for a new deadline.
- Put the phone down.

- The men are falling apart!
- The men are marines!
- Are they?

I wanna talk
to Gen. Kramer.

-You've been asked by an old friend.
-Put him on the phone right now.

- You've been ordered.
- This is Major Baxter!

Now you're being given
your last chance by a man with a gun.

Put the phone down.

I thought you weren't
ready to kill.

I'm warming up.

At ease.

They need a decision,
Mr. President.

These past few hours...

have been the longest,
darkest of my life.

How does one weigh
human life?

One million civilians
against 81 hostages.

And in the middle,
Frank Hummel.

That we
have ignored, abandoned...

or marginalized a great
soldier like Frank Hummel...

and American boys have paid
for that neglect...

with blood
is equally real...

and equally tragic.

We are at war with terror...

and fighting war
means casualties.

This is the worst call
I've ever had to make.

Air strike approved.

Red Thunder to Tower.
Request clearance.

The amount of firepower
they're gonna drop in there...

This is strike leader.
Prepared to go.

it'll be over in a few seconds.

Flight time
to drop point: 17 minutes.

Flight time
to drop point: 17 minutes.

Excuse me, General, sir,
with all due respect to you,
but what the fuck is going on?

- You changed the coordinates,
didn't you, General?
- That's affirmative, Captain.

Now they think we're gutless, the Feds?
They think we won't actually do it.

They're gonna come at us
with everything they got. Air and sea.

They're gonna bomb our ass
back to the Stone Age.

They don't know
we missed on purpose.

Great. We're not gutless.
We're incompetent.

That right?

I don't think
I like your tone, Captain.

We planned for this contingency.
Load the VX. into the choppers,
take four hostages and evacuate.

The consequences of our actions
I'll face alone.

Excuse me, General, but what about
the fucking money?

There is no fucking money.
Mission's over.

Bullshit it's over.

You're talking to a General,
soldier! Maintain discipline!

I'm not a soldier, Major. The day
we took hostages we became mercenaries.

And mercenaries get paid.
I want my fucking money!

This mission was based
on the threat of force.

I'm not about to kill
80,000 innocent people.

Do you think I'm
out of my fucking mind?

We bluffed. They called it.
The mission's over.

Who ever said anything
about bluffing, General?

Stand down, Captain.

Stand down, Captain!

Major, I'm ordering you to take
these men to the choppers and evacuate.

That's a simple order, Major!

It's not so simple, Frank.

Sgt. Crisp,
secure the general.

I'm relieving you
of your command, sir.

Sergeant!

- I'll have that sidearm, sir.
- You mean this sidearm?

Maj. Baxter, you're either
with us or against us.

It has been the greatest honor of
my life to serve with you, General.

But like he said...
it's over.

Let's get him.

Mason!

My God, what have I done?

Where's the last rocket?
Where's the last rocket?

- Where's the last rocket?
- Lower lighthouse.

- Lower lighthouse!
- Go.

Darrow, go to the lighthouse!
I'll take care of this fucker!

One, two, three!

Eat that!

Did it.

Come here. Come here,
you little chickensh--

You shoot me, I drop this.
We're both dead.

Come on. Come on.
Don't be scared.
I won't hurt you.

- Com on.
- You know how this shit works?

You know how
this shit works?

Come on.

I don't need a gun.
I'll put it down.

Come on. Let's play.
Come on. Come on.

Listen, I think we got started off
on the wrong foot. Stan Goodspeed, FBl.

Let's talk music. Do you like
the Elton John song, "Rocket Man"?

- I don't like soft-ass shit.
- Oh, you-- Oh, oh.

Well, I only bring it up because
it's you. You're the Rocket Man.

How do you like
how that shit works?

Second rocket's away!

It splashed into the bay, sir.
No detonation.

Shit.

Darrow!

Open up!

Come on.

Open up!

Hey, you mothe-e-e-er!

Oh, I'm gonna
get you now, baby.

Okay.

Got ya.
I got you, baby.

Come on.

Fucker!

Red Thunder strike leader.
Time on target: seven minutes.

English prick.
I tell you my old man was lrish?

Maintain air speed
4-5-0 knots.

Aw, fuck!

It's me and you, pal!

I want that fucking chip!

I love pressure.

I know you're in here,
and I know you can hear me.

Now pay the piper
and come out like a man.

Increase speed
to 5-0-0 knots.

You motherfucker!

I'm gonna choke my million bucks
out of you! You're gonna die!

Eat that, you fucker!

All right, team inbound.
Time on target: 60 seconds.

On course heading
1-4-2 degrees.

When he neutralizes the threat...

we launch green flares
and we wait for the cavalry.

Let's tighten up
that formation.

May God have mercy
on your souls.

Please don't let this happen.
There has to be something
you can do. Please.

Let's drop to the deck,
100 feet below radar.

Target acquired.
Rolling in.

This is Red Thunder.
Master arm.

Master armed.

Time on target: 12 seconds.

- Ten seconds.
- Please.

Stay tight, gentlemen.

I got green smoke.
I got green smoke!

This is CQ-1, CQ-1. Green smoke!
We have green smoke, over!

- Gimme that, gimme that! Abort!
- Abort!

- Flight leader, abort, abort!
- Jesus Christ!

I already dropped 'em.

Oh, goddamn it!

Oh, my God.

Get out of my way.
Let me through, please.

The cells did not get hit.
The bombs hit on the back of the island.

I'm fed up saving your ass.

I'm amazed you ever
got past puberty.

I suppose all this will make
a great bedtime story to tell your kid.

You're insane, Mason.
The kid'll have nightmares.

I'll spend all my money
on shrinks.

Goodspeed, come in.
Goodspeed, do you read me? Come in.

Scanning all radio frequencies.

Goodspeed, do you read me?
Come in.

Goodspeed, do you read me?
Come in.

Goodspeed?
Do you read me? Come in.

This is Goodspeed.

Are the hostages alive?

Every one of 'em.

Goodspeed, it's Womack.
What about Mason?

He's dead, sir.

- How? When?
- Just come and get me.

Womack tore up
your pardon, John.

But of course.
I knew he would.

The S.D.U.s and the scuba gear
should still be where we came ashore.

If you can get
to the Pan Pacific Hotel...

there's clothes in my closet
and $200 in the Bible.

Room 26.

It's been a long time since I've said
thank you to anybody.

But thank you.

Well, Stanley, this is when we go
our separate ways, huh?

Uh-- I'm sure you know the etymology
of your name, "Goodspeed."

Y eah, "Godspeed." To wish
someone a prosperous journey. Why?

Well, if you fancy
a journey...

I recommend
Fort Walton, Kansas.

I was thinking of Maui.

No.

Forget Maui.

"St. Michael's Church,
Fort Walton, Kansas.

"Front pew, right leg.

Hollow."

Is this what I think it is?

Mason?

Congratulations, Dr. Goodspeed.
You did it.

Thank you, sir.

You know, for a while there,
I didn't think you were gonna make it.

Well done, son.
So, where's Mason?

Vaporized.
Blown out to sea.

Blown out to sea, huh?

Yeah.

Poor bastard.

Goodspeed, where's Mason?
Where's his body?

I wanna see
that son of a bitch.

Vaporized, sir.
Excuse me, gentlemen.

What? Vaporized?
A body can vaporize?

Oh, yeah.
Absolutely, sir.

St. Michael's Church.

Front pew, right leg.
Front pew, right leg.

Vandals! Vandals!

Oh, yes, baby, come on!

- Stop! Vandals! Stop!
- I'm sorry.

- Come on, baby!
- I've got it. Okay, let's go!

- Stop! Stop!
- Sorry!

Stop! Hey, hey, you!

Vandals! Vandals!

Honey, uh, do you wanna know
who really killed J.F.K.?

Honey, uh, do you wanna know
who really killed J.F.K.?
