[Male reporter]: citing new intelligence,
The departmen of homeland security today
Gave the official okay
To drop the threat level from orange to yellow.
The drop, announced early this morning
By the secretary of homeland security,
Was the first lowering of the alert status
In nearly two months.
However, the department continues to urge
State and local officials, transportation authorities,
And the general public
To remain alert,
As most, if not all, the recent attacks abroad
Have come without warning.

[Female reporter]:an estimated $290 billion in assets
And their highly coveted 1,600 branches
In 22 states,
While keeping its boston-Based headquarters'
Status intact.
A company with assets of over $1.8 trillion dollars.
The deal comes with a steep price
For the combined workforce of 128,000,
With as many as 20,000 employees
Expected to lose their jobs
When operations are integrated.
[Anchorman]: early this morning,
Five former officials
Of the holy land restoration foundation,
Once the biggest islamic charity
In the united states,
Have been arrested on charges
Funneled millions of dollars
To islamic fundamentalists and plotters
In the middle east and across the globe.
More specifically,
To private individuals and organizations
Situated in the united states,
Linked to fundamentalist activity.
Founding members of the charity,
Which first came under investigation by the fbi,
Are suspected of devising a scheme
To funnel money to fundamentalist organizations
Who support jihad...

[President g. W. Bush]: tonight, we are a country
Awakened to danger
And called to defend freedom.

Our grief has turned to anger.
Next.
...and anger to resolution.
Next, please!
Whether we bring our enemies to justice,
Or bring justice
To our enemies,
Justice will be done.
Hi. Hello, sir.
How can i provide you with excellent service today?
I'd just like to deposit this.
[Keys clacking]
Certainly.
Did you know, sir, in the future,
You can also use the atm machine
Just outside the front doors
And avoid the wait in line
For a teller?
Yes, i did. Thank you.
A lot of our customers prefer that option, actually.
Really?
Mm-Hmm.
Do you know what "atm" stands for?
Um... automatic-
Automated teller machine.
Right.
So when you say "atm machine,"
What you're actually saying
Is "automated teller machine machine. "
Now, either you're just being ignorantly redundant,
Or you really
Want to emphasize that "machine" part,
In which case,
You're not really providing very personal care
Or excellent service, are you?
You just want to...
Talk to customers,
Do some script that your manager set up for you
To sell some program, or something like that,
Or get fewer tellers behind the line
So they'll go outside and use the atm?
Is that it?
Listen, i'm really sorry.
I just, uh...
I'm sure they just tell you to say that,
And it's your job, so..
I've had a long day.
I apologize.
Did you want that deposited into your checking
Or savings account, sir?
Checking, please.
[Pops off beer cap]
[Cap clinks in dish]
[Exhaling]
[Door opening]
[Door closes]
[Keys clatter in dish]
You're home early.
[Chuckling]: what are you doing?
I'm just standing here like an idiot.
Looking at the house.
Mm.
Maybe i could put some of these
In the front yard.
Add a little color,
Maybe some daisies at the side.
That'd look pretty great, don't you think?
Yeah, yeah, it sounds real nice.
I can't wait.
[Sighing]
Do you still want to go
To my sister's cabin this weekend?
They're not going to be there.
It'd just be the two of us.
Get some wine and stuff
On my way home tomorrow.
Oh yeah.
Do you remember that photo i took of the redwoods?
Yeah.
Well, this publisher saw it today,
And he said it was really good.
Sounds great.
I know. It's great.
It's great news.
I got laid off today, marla.
What?
I got laid off.
What happened?
I don't know.
Downsizing, software improvements,
Whatever.
But they just hired you.
Yeah, they did, but...
I don't exactly work in a specialized field, do i?
[Sighing]
I'm going to take
Some of those wedding gigs.
Mm-Mm. Yeah.
No, they've been coming to me, and-
No, no, no, you do your thing.
I am going to get another job.
A better job.
I'm sorry.
They're dumb people.
It's okay, you know?
We've gone through this before,
And we'll just... it's going to be okay.
It will.
[Closing door quietly]
[Anchorman]: the federal reserve today
Issued a fresh warning to investors
To the dangers of the false sense
Of the economy's
Stretch and flow interest rates.
The chairman cautioned that extended periods
Of low credit risk
Have sometimes been followed
By abrupt reversals and a dramatic fall
In the prices of risky assets.
While not identifying the risky assets,
The chairman,
In a separate report last monday,
Emphatically warned the nation
About the perils
Of home-Owners and lenders
Using aggressive mortgages.
While low mortgage rates
Powered home sales to record highs
Four years in a row,
Home prices have nevertheless skyrocketed.
However, the fed has been
Gradually raising rates
To keep inflation in check.
With this latest warning,
The chairman stressed that a widespread cooling
In the housing market
Could be right around the corner,
Exposing both borrowers and lenders
To significant losses.
[Anchorwoman]:the united states financial services industry
Has given birth to yet another mega-Bank,
And the new team of first international-
"Self-Starter. "
"Team player. "
Team-Fucking-Player.
Hey.
Were you out here all night?
Do you think the stereotype is true?
What stereotype?
That accountants are boring?
I know, i'm not my job,
But does my job make me boring?
Yeah, i think it does.
Tsk, yeah, that's what i thought.
?Re a boring guy, terry.
That's why i love you.
[Laughing]
[Kissing]
Everybody knows that women prefer
Accountants over rock stars.
[Slaps back lightly]
Why do you have to bring him up all the time?
That was before we even met.
I'm just kidding.
You are not a boring man to me, mr. Allen.
Hey.
I gotta go.
All right. Bye.
[Keys clacking]
[Humtically]
[Man]: next.
Hi.
Can i help you?
To mail these. All right.
Are you interested in our commemorative stamps?
No, thank you.
We have beluga whales, legends of jazz,
Holiday cookies.
I just want to mail these.
All right.
[Keys beeping]
For future reference,
You can purchase postage in the lobby
And just drop it in the slot out there.
[Register tape advancing]
[Telephone ringing]
That's good to know. Thank you.
Have a nice day. You too.
[President bush]: ... forsaking our friends.
They stand against us
Because we stand in their way.
There are thousands of these terrorists
In more than 60 countries.
They're recruited from their own nations
And neighborhoods
And brought to camps
In places like afghanistan,
Where they are trained
In the tactics of terror.
They are sent back to their homes
Or sent to hide in countries
Around the world
To plot evil and destruction.
[Jet rumbling overhead]
[Female reporter]: that well-Dressed man
In the street
Might not be who you think he is.
With holiday celebrations and major sporting events
Right around the corner,
The united states government
Dispatched scores
Of casually dressed nuclear scientists
To scour five major u. S. Cities
For radiological,
Or so-Called "dirty," bombs.
What are you doing?
Getting a shot
Of the handsomest number-Cruncher in the world.
Yeah?
You want to see my calculator, baby?
You know i do.
Yeah. Yeah?
[Setting knife down]
Well, why don't i just whip it out?
Oh, yeah.
All right, all right, i feel like an asshole.
That's enough.
So, how was your first day of freedom?
Got some resumes out.
You know.
Crunched the mortgage numbers a little.
Saw the apartment downstairs got taken.
You see who it was?
Oh, you didn't see him?
'Cause he sure saw you.
[Beverage pouring]
What's that supposed to mean?
Who's he?
I don't know, some middle eastern-Looking guy.
What?
What, i called him middle eastern?
He is middle eastern.
Okay.
Wait. So if i saw him in a crowd
And i wanted to let you know
Who i was referring to,
How would i do it then?
Would you prefer
That i said "the raghead,"
"The camel-Jockey"?
Terry!
"The sand nigger"? Shut up!
[Mocking voice]: ooh, he's a nigger
Who lives in the sand.
Terry, stop it. What?
He can probably hear us.
Oh, he can't hear us.
I think he'd prefer to be called
"The middle eastern guy," don't you? I don't know.
Well, call him whatever you want,
But that guy sure was a fan of your ass.
Check it out.
? Chicka-Chicka-Bow chicka-Bow-Bow?
? Chicka chicka-Bow-Bow?
[Dumpster rattling open]
[Thump]
[Female reporter]: gone are the days
Of identity thieves
Going through your private mailbox.
They are now finding their jackpots at one source-
Computers stored
In your pediatrician, general practitioner,
Or dentist's office.
The very institutions
That collect your personal information-
What would you think
If i told you that our new neighbor
Was digging around in the trash at 3:00 in the morning?
What?
And i didn't tell you this either,
But he didn't seem
To have a lot to move in-
Just a couple duffel bags and a small mattress.
You watched him move in?
Well, it was just a couple trips
Up the walkway,
But doesn't that seem a little odd to you?
The guy rents a full-Size apartment,
Has nothing to put inside it?
He's probably just struggling to make ends meet.
Yeah, maybe.
Probably.
[Bag zipping up]
Anyway, it's none of our business.
Seems a little weird to me,
That's all.
Well, if it's so weird,
Why don't you go introduce yourself to him, then?
Come on.
Why not?
At least then you can stop calling him
"The middle eastern guy," okay?
All right.
Yeah?
Yeah. Good.
I don't have to bake him a cake, do i?
[Laughing]: that's a good idea.
Have a beautiful day.
...vital services.
Now thousands of records can be stolen
With the same level of risk involved in a home invasion.

[Anchorwoman]:the 25-Count indictment unsealed yesterday
Charges the charity organization
Used hospitals, islamic committees,
Student and other organizations
Controlled by fundamentalist organizations
In the middle east
To direct money to plotters
Of extremist causes.
Law-Enforcement officials
And the attorney general's office claim
The arrests represented one of their most-
What are you doing?
Hey.
You scared me.
What's that?
Uh, nothing, i just...
Look, he drives a long-Term rental car, marla.
So you met him, then?
No, i didn't,
But just listen to me, all right?
He made a call on a pay phone
Even though he had a cell phone on him.
Yeah?
And he works at a copy center
With other middle eastern men.
Only middle eastern men.
You were following him?
No, i wasn't following him, i just saw him and-
Look, what do you want me to say?
Doesn't this sound kind of suspicious to you?
Marla?
Where're you going?
Hey! What are you doing?
Marla.
What the hell was that all about?
His name is gabe hassan.
That is what we will call him
From now on.
He moved here
To finish his master's degree.
Yeah.
Yeah, so he's probably budgeting his living
On student loans and his copy job.
Probably can't afford a car
Or a land line,
And maybe his cell phone ran out.
You don't know that.
Neither do you.
So unless this guy leaves his apartment
With a warhead on his back,
He is just our neighbor,
And it is not our problem.
Yeah, i bet you just can't wait
To borrow a cup of sugar from him, too.
What's that supposed to mean?
That you want to replace your fetish for rock stars
With jihadists?
I think that's very "now" of you.
You've got way too mucerry.
You need to get a job,
Or we're going to lose that house.
[Television playing]
[Man]:by law, they are unable
To invade a place-
Hey.
To target only mobs-
[Sighing softly]
If you don't want
To meet our neighbor,
You don't have to.
But could you call the loan officer today
About the house?
Just find out where things are?
Yeah, okay.
[Tv continues playing in background]
Maybe watch a little less of that today?
[Door opens, then closes]
Hi, this is terry allen.
I submitted an application
For your cpa position a couple of weeks ago?
[Woman]: okay.
How can i help you, mr. Allen?
Just making sure that you received it.
Well, i'm sure we have it on file.
All applications go straight
To our human resources department.
Do you know when you might be hiring?
I couldn't say for sure.
Maybe next week?
Would you like me to transfer you
To mr. Roberts?
He's reviewing all the applicants.
Mr. Allen?
Uh, yeah?
Would you like me to transfer you?
Yeah, that's great.
Just wanted to let you know
That i'm still interested in the position.
Okay. Please hold.
[Phone beeps off]
[Dialing]
[Operator]: information.
Yes, could i have the number for the fbi, please?
The number is 1-800-877-3927.
Thank you.
Thank you.?]
[Man]:fbi.
Hi.
Uh... i'm not-
I'm not really sure if i should be calling or not.
I just was wondering if there's somebody there
I could just- Just talk to about a situation?
Would you like me to transfer you
So you can file a report, sir?
[Tapping on window]
[Paper rustling]
Special agent hilary.
You filed a report this morning?
Yeah.
Mr. Allen?
Yes, sir.
Do you mind if i follow up for just a bit?
Thank you.
But, um, how do you know who i am?
Your license plate number.
Right.
[Cell phone ringing]
You guys work fast.
Yeah.
Excuse me, sorry.
[Jacket rustling]
[Ringing continues]
Hi. Ahem.
Yeah.
I'm going to pick 'em up.
I know.
I'm going to pick 'em up,
Because-
Be-
Okay. Ahem.
I love you, too.
Sorry.
Okay, um...
So this guy you called about,
You say he lives in unit number two,
Is that correct?
On the ground floor. Er two
And you said he was a middle eastern guy,
Yeah?
Yeah.
Look, i know you must get
A lot of calls like this, right?
[Laughs]
Most of them turn out to be nothing?
Yeah, but we got to go through them all.
You know, i'm sorry, i don't know
If i should have called, i just...
Why did you, then?
Well, he seems to fit the profile
A little too well, you know what i mean?
The profile?
Yeah, you said he was interacting
With other middle eastern men.
Is that what you mean?
Yes, sir.
You said he leads a minimalist lifestyle.
Yeah. I- He...
You said he was throwing the garbage out
At odd hours.
Yes, sir. 3:00 a. M.
3:00 a. M.?
You were awake, or did he wake you up?
I was awake at the time.
[Notepaper rustling]
Did you talk to him?
Did you meet him?
No, sir, but my wife did.
Does she share your concerns?
Yeah. Pretty much.
Did she have
Any other kind of exchange with him?
No.
Did you have any other kind of other interaction,
Any kind of late-Night feuds-
Music too loud, anything like that?
Uh, no, sir.
Okay.
[Clears throat]
What did you say you do for a living, mr. Allen?
I'm an accountant.
Accountant, okay.
We will run a check
And see if anything comes up.
Really?
Is there anything i should do in the meantime?
No, just keep an eye out.
If you see anything imminent,
Give us a call.
You know, it's funny.
When i graduated from college, i almost applied to the bureau.
Really?
Yeah, it was just kind of a whim, though.
A whim?
Yeah, me too.
Thank you very much
For your concern, mr. Allen.
You have a nice day.
Thank you.
[Complex door creaking open]
[Sighing]
[Door opening]
[Door shuts]
Hey.
Come here.
Just... don't turn any lights on.
Just come here.
What are you doing?
Just come on.
What are you doing?
Just... come here.
I need you to just listen to me, okay,
And don't get upset.
All right?
What is it? What?
Look, an fbi agent came by here today,
And he wanted to ask me some questions
About our neighbor downstairs.
How did he know
About our neighbor downstairs, terry?
Did you call him? Did you?
Yeah, i did- You called the fbi?
The fbi!
They considered the report valid-
For god's sake, terry!
Okay, and they're running
A background check on the guy.
Great.
They're probably running
A background check on us, too.
Come on, what?
We got some pot in the house
Or something?
Why do you insist on making this our problem?
We have enough problems as it is, terry.
Well, we don't always get to choose
Our problems, marla.
Sometimes we do, terry.
Did you call the loan officer today?
If this guy downstairs
Is responsible for killing innocent people
And we didn't do anything to stop it,
You'd just be okay with that?
No, of course not,
I wouldn't be okay with that, but...
[Sighing]
Okay, this fbi agent, what did he say?
Well, he wants us
To continue monitoring him.
Us two, but not him.
Look, the guy gets a lot of calls, marla,
All right?
We all have to be the eyes and ears now.
The what?
What did you say?
Okay, i need to know what you're going to do.
What do you mean?
How far are you going to take this?
Well, i don't know.
You don't know?
Well, i need to know.
Well, i guess i'm going to do whatever i have to.
Whateveryouhave to?
What about us, terry?
What about the house?
I am doing everything that i possibly can!
I've sent out resumes.
There aren't any more jobs.
I went to bank today, like you asked.
I talked to the loan officer to restructure the loan,
And he wouldn't buy it, all right?
So what else do you want from me?
Well, maybe if you weren't up here all day long,
Spying on your neighbor
Like some paranoid right-Wing wack-Job,
We wouldn't have lost the fucking house!
That is not what i'm doing!
Yes, you are, terry!
And you know what?
Just because they're paranoid
Doesn't mean they're wrong.
I mean, in case you forget, marla,
This shit has happened.
People, they've overlooked their neighbors,
And shit has fucking blown up.
Thank you for the fucking recap.
What are you doing?
Going out.
Where are you going? Out.
Yeah, say hi to your sister for me.
[Sighing]
[Gate opening]
[Gate rattles and closes]
With the holy month of ramadan approaching-
[Telephone ringing]
[Woman]:hello?
Jenny, it's terry.
Hi, terry.
Sorry to bother you.
Is marla there?
No, not at the moment.
Do you know where she is?
No. No, i don't.
Is she okay?
Not really.
Well, could you just let her know that i called?
Yeah, i'll tell her.
[Phone beeps off]
[Anchorwoman]: the announcement
Coming on the heels of last month's
Torching of a mosque in sussex county,
On mosques and the muslim community
Over the past year,
Yet some of the attendees believe
The city's new measures-
God. What am i doing?
Hello?
[Creaking]
Hello?
[Clinking]
[Sniffing]
[Complex door rattles]
[Television clicks on]
[Television playing in arabic]

[Television continues playing in arabic]
[Cell phone ringing]
Hello?
Omar?
[Speaking arabic]
Shit.
Shit, shit, shit!
[Panting]
[Dialing phone]
Mr. Allen.
Agent.
Is everything okay?
Yeah, yeah, i'm fine.
You sure?
Yeah.
Just some personal stuff.
Just, uh... times have been a little rough.
[Clears throat]
You wanted to talk about something?
Uh, yeah.
You ever hear of money structuring?
Making low-Profile deposit? In multiple bank accounts,
Different institutions,
Splitting up large sums of money,
Earning huge returns in interest
Without anybody knowing about it?
Is that what you think mr. Hassan is doing?
Well, he's got several boxes full of atm deposit envelopes
In his closet...
And based upon his lifestyle,
I think that these accounts
Belong to this organization that he's involved with,
The sons of benevolence.
He's also got some sort of chemical process
Going on in there- Beakers,
And, uh, tubing.
There's this clear liquid that he has stored in these tubes,
That smells like... and it's sweet,
Like almond flavoring or something.
Chemical process?
Yeah.
Does he have a bunsen burner in there
And a whole lab set up?
No, i wouldn't call it a lab, but there's-
Almond flavoring, like for cooking?
That's what it smelled like, but i don't know what it is.
I just want to be clear about one thing.
You were invited in, right?
You were a guest in his house?
I knocked on the guy's door, it kind of opened,
And based upon what i could see inside,
I thought that i should call you, and-
Did i ask you to act as an informant for the fbi,
Mr. Allen?
You asked me to keep an eye on him.
I didn't ask you to break the law, did i?
You can't just walk into someone's apartment.
I know that, but i felt like, under the circumstances-
No, sir. No, sir. Under no circumstances.
For you, under no circumstances.
Well, then, why don't you do it?
Get a search warrant.
You can discover these items for yourself,
Because something's going on.
Let me explain something,
Mr. Allen.
Unless there is an emergent circumstance
Suggesting imminent danger,
We are obliged to follow
Certain guidelines and procedures
Pursuant to
The united states constitution.
This is still a free society.
I can't be this make-Believe guy...
[Chuckles]
Bust down every door and shoot someone
'Cause i think he might be a bad guy, okay?
Neither can you.
Wait, wait- You think i want to be doing this?
I don't want to be doing this.
No, i just lost my job,
My wife walked out on me.
We're about to lose the house we wanted.
I'm sorry for your troubles, mr. Allen.
I really am,
But you need to let the fbi
Handle this investigation,
And if you enter his house again,
I'm going to have no choice
But to put you under arrest.
Look at me when i'm talking to you, mr. Allen.
I need to know
That you understand what i'm saying here.
Yeah.
Okay.
Thank you.

[Anchorman]:... now that the deadly strain
Of the influenza virus
Has jumped from animals to humans.
The strain also appears to be slowly
Acquiring the genetic changes
Characteristic of the spanish flu virus
That killed 50 million people
Nearly a century ago.
Preparing for the worst,
The president announced
The addition of billions of dollars to our budget
To build a stockpile of drugs
To fight the threat
Of the newly identified virus,
Most, if not all, u. S. Drug makers
Have stopped making flu vaccines,
But health officials warn
That not having a reliable supply
Of the vaccine
Is treading on very dangerous ground,
As it's the best way to contain
The ever-Nearing deadly virus.
[Shower running]
[Line ringing]
[Receptionist]:fbi.
Yes, agent hilary, please. This is terry allen.
He's not in.
Would you like voice mail?
No, i will try back later.
According to a most recent census bureau study,
More immigrants entered the united states illegally
Last year
Than those who were granted legal status.
The study attributes the historical decline
In legal migration
To the federal government's reduction
In the number of refugee visas
And a slowdown-
Yes, can i speak to agent hilary, please?
Yeah, this is terry allen.
Well, listen, i think somebody broke into my house.
Look, can you just tell agent hilary
To call me, please?
Thank you.
...1.1 million,
With roughly 575,000 estimated
New illegal immigrants
Living within our borders.
Uh, yes, agent hilary, please.
Yeah, i know that. Uh, yes, agent hilary, please. Ing]:
Are you done yet?
Because you're the agency on record here,
And if this guy does something, if people get killed,
Their deaths are going to be on your head.
Not mine, not the local police,
But yours...
And i am going to make damn sure that happens!
[Cds clattering]
Since the united states declared its war
Against those who threaten our daily security,
The federal government has come under criticism
That it's not doing enough.
[Knocking at door]
Governor nancy bradley is one of those critics,
And she joins us now.
[Television volume reduces]
[Knocking]
[Cocking gun]
[Uncocks gun]
What part of our conversation are you not getting, mr. Allen?
Did- Did you get my message?
He broke into my house.
I thought i told you to let us handle this.
Did you just hear what i said?
I don't give a fuck what he did!
You are interfering with fbi business,
And now you're harassing my office?
If you ever threaten this agency again,
You're going to find yourself in some serious shit!
Look, i didn't mean to-
You want to be the subject of this investigation, is that it?
You want us to tap your phone?
You want us to put a tail on you?
Put a tail on your wife?
This is fucking unbelievable.
The person you should be-
I don't owe you an explanation, mr. Allen!
Stay out of my business!
Think you're having a hard time
Finding a job now?
You think you're having a hard time
Finding a house now?
You wait until you have a federal arrest on your record.
This is your final warning, sir.
[Door slams]
[Turns tv volume up]
...so that we prevent the bombs from going off
Rather than just cleaning up afterwards.
[Door slams]
[Knocking]
Yeah?
Hey. I'm your neighbor from upstairs.
And how can i help you?
I just wanted to come by,
See if we could clear a few things up.
Like what?
You know, the whole window thing.
Oh.
[Sucking breath]
Apology accepted, then.
[Hand blocks door]
That's not what i meant.
What, then?
You want me to keep my curtains closed?
You know what?
I'm not sure why i came down here.
If you're having problems with your wife, man,
I'm sorry.
Yep?
What did you just say?
What?
About my wife?
You like to stare at me all day long.
I can see why she's mad.
I mean, look, if you prefer men,
You should really
Just tell her, man.
[Feet shuffling]
[Pounding]
You know, if this-
What the fuck did you just say to me,
You piece of shit?
What did you just say?
What did you just fucking say?
Get- Get up against the fucking wall!
Get back!
Get your hands by your sides.
And don't fucking move.
What are you looking at?
Get down.
What?
Get the fuck down.
Get the fuck down!
Okay. Okay.
Now, put your hands behind your head.
Put your hands behind your head!
Oh, you're not such a smart-Ass now, are you?
Sit down.
Sit down- Get up and sit down!
Tie your foot to the chair.
Wrap it around.
Hand it to me.
[Terry pacing]
Look, i apologize if i have offended you.
You broke into my house.
You left the shower on in my bathroom
So that i'd know you made it through all my shit.
Oh, what, you don't remember that?
Well, here, let me help you.
It was the same day that i was inside your place.
I was right back there,
Inside your closet.
You know i was.
And i've got to say,
You've got a lot of interesting shit lying around.
Can't we be rational about this?
Sure.
Yeah, let's be rational.
Who are you working for?
What do you mean?
Who are you working for?
Don't you tell me "copy central. "
I'm not going to buy that shit.
Just what do you think i am?
Huh?
What is that?
You must be kidding.
I'm doing my master's in environmental studies.
This is for my lab experiments.
What about these?
They're for handling prussic acid.
It's a corrosive.
I'm actually extracting it from the tap water.
For what?
For my thesis.
Bullshit.
Yeah. Yeah?
[Drops box]
[Places lid on floor]
[Kicks box]
What about those?
Envelopes?
I don't know what you're getting at.
You know what i do for a living?
What?
I'm an accountant.
You know what that means?
You stare at spreadsheets all day long?
Fuck you!
It means that i get money trails.
Kind of like the one
That you structured with the sons of benevolence.
Oh...
The sons of benevolence?
[Speaking arabic]
They are a distributor ofzakatmoney.
It's like...
Charity.
They're just paying for my scholarship.
That's it.
Okay.
[Chair scraping floor]
[Thudding]
[Click]
Acid, huh?
From the tap water?
Yes, prussic acid.
Purification plants all over the world
Carry the same process.
[Beaker slides on counter]
I assure you,
Nothing will happen.
[Footsteps outside]
[Complex door rattles]
[Door creaking]
[Door clatters closed]
[Footsteps passing]
[Ripping fabric]
[Marla]: terry?
Yeah.
Yeah, i'm out here.
Hey.
Where were you?
[Panting]
Huh?
Are you okay?
Yeah.
Mm-Hmm.
Are you sure?
What are you doing back here?
You never returned any of my calls.
Where did you come from?
I was just outside.
What?
What's going on?
Nothing.
[Sighing]
[Marla descending stairs]
Marla!
Marla?
Marla, stop!
Don't go in there.
Go to your sister's.
I will call you tomorrow.
What are you doing, terry?
Nothing. What did you do?
Nothing. Now, just get going.
What did you do?
I said, get going!
[Heavy thumping]
[Repeated thudding]
[Gasping]
[Breathing rapidly]
I'm sorry.
He broke into our house.
You should see
All the shit he has in there!
I'm right about him. I know i am.
I just need some more time.
Just..
I'll call you later.
Just go!
Now.
Now! Go!
[Door creaks]
[Marla's footsteps receding rapidly]
[Terry slams door]
[Rumbling]
[Cell phone ringing]
[Ringing continues]
5:30 in the morning.
Who's calling you?
[Ringing]
Hello?
[Man speaking, indistinct]
It's for you.
Hello?
[Man]:is this mr. Allen?
Who's this?
I'd like to ask you
To please step to the window.
I said who is this?
Please step to the window, mr. Allen.
[Terry crossing room]
We have a perimeter established
Around the building.
[Officer]: over here!
Mr. Allen.
My name is lieutenant randall lloyd,
And i don't think there's any reason
Why we can't come to a peaceful resolution here.
If, at any time,
You want to release
Mr. Hassan and yourself over to us for questioning,
No harm will come to you,
I promise you that.
Mr. Allen.
Hello?
Mr. Allen, are you there?
Tell me, what do you need?
Mr. Allen?
[Helicopter pulsing overhead]
I need some more time.
Okay. For what?
I need more time.
[Helicopter hovering]
[Cell phone ringing]
[Ringing continues]
[Ringing ceases]
How many are out there?
More than six?
[Heart racing]
[Cell phone ringing]
[Ringing]
Come on, mr. Allen.
What are you going to do?
Are you going to stay in there all day?
The whole week?
You do not want to get
Bogged down in this, trust me.
Really?
[Helicopter hovering overhead]
Terry?
Terry.
I won't press charges against you
If you let me go.
We can say...
I thought you were breaking in.
That i panicked and pulled the gun on you.
Nobody needs to know what happened in here.
Look, take the bullets
Out of the gun,
And put it in my hand
So it has my fingerprints on it.
We'll just say it was a big misunderstanding.
Come on.
Come on, man.
You can be
With your wife tonight.
Come on, terry.
[Sighing]
[Radio chatter, indistinct]
[Helicopter hovering]
So, what?
It's either i'm going to jail,
Or you're going to kill me?
Is that your plan?
Yeah, yeah.
Like that's going to stop them.
Apparently you're about to receive some money.
It's my scholarship payment schedule.
Wow.
This is pretty expensive for a state school.
Tell me about it.
What?
The checks come to more than double
What your tuition is.
I assure you, it's not what you think it is.
Then what is it?
What is it?
Nothing. They're just helping me out here.
Oh, okay.
Then i'm sure you won't mind explaining that to the fbi.
[Window sliding open]
Lieutenant!
[Police radio chatter, indistinct]
Lieutenant, if you want to end this,
Get agent hilary from the fbi down here.
This isn't fbi jurisdiction, mr. Allen.
Just get him down here!
Wait!
Why won't you talk to me?
Just get agent hilary!
You know what?
What if i were what you think i am?
Hmm?
What? You would be good, and i would be evil?
You would be just, and i would be a criminal?
Is that what you think?
Well, think about it.
What would you do
If your wife were taken away from you?
O a hundred pieces if your wife were taken away from you?N t
While she was cooking your dinner?
Fucking tomahawk missile.
What would you do?
Wouldn't you seek revenge?
Wouldn't you try to honor her murder?
Huh?
Would you consider yourself evil if you did?
What would you do?
We're just talking about "what ifs" here, right?
That woman in the picture, is she your wife?
Is she still with us,
Or did that missile really take her out?
What would you do?
[Scoffs]
I think you should go join the military
Instead of taking it out on me
Like some vigilante.
What?
Too risky?
The front lines
Are only for the poor kids?
Are you a coward, terry?
You? Are you a coward, terry?N't
Didn't realize that striking a bound man
Was an act of bravery.
Oh, but cutting off the heads of handcuffed women is?
Oh.
You want to go there?
Tell me about vietnam.
Panama.
Cuba. Chile.
Well, what do you want me to do?
El salvador!
Grenada. What do you want me to do?
Haiti.
I don't fucking care!
Somalia.
Lebanon. The shah of iran.
I don't fucking care! Did you hear me?
Afghanistan.
God! You stupid fucking idiot!
I am not my country!
I don't get to vote on foreign policy!
I can't control anything!
What about palestine?
I don't care!
Well, you should care.
It's about time you care.
[Speaking arabic]
[Continues speaking arabic]
Shut up!
[Speaking arabic]
Shut up!
Just shut the fuck up! Shut the fuck up!
Shut up!
Shut up! Shut up!
You shut up!
[Raging]: quiet!
[Lloyd]: mr. Allen?
We have your wife outside.
She wants to talk to you.
[Marla]: terry?
Take it easy. Move slow.
Hey.
Did you do this to me?
Did you call them?
Happening here, terry.
An open line of communication?
Nice coaching job there, lloyd.
Okay, the point is, mr. Allen,
You've still got a chance here.
You can put a stop to this right now.
Get your life back together.
You've got a chance.
[Police radio crackling, indistinct]
Why don't you come on out here and talk to me,
Tell me what's going on? Come on.
Yeah, sure.
Just let me throw some shoes on. I'll be right out.
Terry, come on.
This isn't you.
Just let these guys handle this.
How could you do this to me?
Your wife is genuinely concerned about you, sir.
Yeah, and i'm worried about her, too.
Why do you think i'm doing this?
You had a gun, terry.
I'm sorry.
I didn't know what else to do.
Get hilary down here.
Terry.
Terry! Terry!
Come on. Come on.
[Marla]: let me go see him.
Don't touch me. Let me through.
[Siren wails on approaceases
[Helicopter whirring overhead]
[Man]: i'm going inside. Cover the door.
[Guns cocking]
Move! Move! Move!
[Cocks gun]
[Knocking at door]
Mr. Allen.
It's agent hilary.
Well, tell those officers to get back.
They're not coming in.
You wanted to talk to me, right?
And i want everybody around the building
To back off too!
They're not coming in, mr. Allen.
They fall back.
It's just me.
Okay?
Well, move away from the door.
Move to the window!
Okay, i'm here.
Mr. Allen, i'm not a hostage negotiator.
Well, i could use your help here.
Can you just listen to me?
Yeah, i can listen to you,
Mr. Allen, yeah.
I have more evidence
About the money structuring
This guy's involved in, all right?
And i want you to take that evidence,
I want you to use it,
And i don't want to hear any crap
About what you can and you can't do.
[Officer]: on the roof.
Hilary!
Okay.
I just need to know that mr. Hassan is okay.
You're going to have to take my word for it.
Well, i'm not gonna take anything
Unless i know for sure.
I want to see that mr. Hassan is okay.
Then we have nothing left to talk about.
Okay, okay, okay!
Wait, mr. Allen.
I did some more work on his disbursement schedule
From the sons of benevolence,
And there is more than double
The amount of his tuition fees coming in.
Now, that money is going somewhere.
They are a legitimate educational organization.
They are not now, nor have they ever been,
A sponsor for for extremist activities.
I do not know what the extra money is for.
It could be for any number of things,
But mr. Hassan
Is a model student.
He's a clerk at a copy center.
He is not someone that we are concerned about.
You're wrong.
Am i?
You just want this to go away, don't you?
Yeah, i do.
Mr. Allen, i want it to go away,
But i assure you
That the information we have about mr. Hassan
Is accurate. It is correct.
Well, what about all this chemistry equipment?
What about the deposit envelopes?
Well, why don't you let me come inside?
Then i can take a look at them.
We can talk to mr. Hassan together, okay?
You and i.
How did you get here so fast?
I'm sorry?
You've been calling the shots all along, haven't you?
Oh, i get it.
You want me to take the heat for this, don't you?
How else are you going to get out of this?
I called you.
You didn't act fast enough.
It doesn't matter whether i'm right or wrong,
You're going to wind up smelling like shit.
That's not true.
You're just here covering your own ass.
Mr. Allen, listen to what you're saying.
Fuck!
[Turning gun barrel]
This is your last chance.
I want to know
Who you're working for.
I want to know
Who you're working with,
I want to know their names,
And i want to know where they can be found.
[Speaks arabic]
I swear to god, i told you everything!
I want to know their names,
And i want to know where they can be found,
And i want you to tell me right now.
You don't want to tell me?
What are you doing?
Tell me.
Tell me the truth.
Tell me now. Tell me the truth.
Tell me the truth right now. Just tell me the truth.
Just tell me, and tell me right now.
Tell me now.
[Sobbing]: please don't do this.
Tell me.
Please.
Tell me right now.
[Praying in arabic]
[Hassan sobbing, speaking arabic]
[Thudding]
Go, go, go!
Put the gun down!
Put the fucking gun down!
He's moving down the hallway.
Go to the back.
Drop the gun!
Mr. Allen, we have the building surrounded!
Mr. Allen!
There's nowhere to go!
[Terry panting]
[Knob turning]
[Door creaking open]
Mr. Allen, it's agent hilary out here,
Just me, and i'm unarmed.
Nobody else.
It's quite a mess we've gotten ourselves into.
Mr. Allen,
You were right.
I didn't act fast enough.
And i assure you,
I will look at the envelopes,
I will look at the beakers as soon as we're done here.
Look, mr. Allen,
I don't know what you have in your mind
As to the way things work here,
But i don't think
This is as simple as it looks.
You don't think i want to be that guy
That busts down every door?
I want to be that guy
That knocks down every single door
To keep our citizens safe,
To keep our families safe.
I want to be that guy,
And it frustrates the hell out of me
That i can't,
And it makes me very angry.
I know you can understand that.
I'm just saying.
Why? Why was that?
You said some threatening things
To your boss, right?
What about the job before that?
You were fired from that one, too.
Right?
You couldn't let it go.
Well, they were wrong!
They were wrong,
And that made you angry.
This is no different.
He pissed you off.
I didn't listen to you.
You got angry, you acted compulsively.
That we can deal with...
We can get you the help that you need.
I don't need any help!
Your wife thinks you do, terry.
Terry, your wife thinks you do.
Come on, put the gun down.
Put the gun down.
We'll get you the help that you need.
I said i don't need any help.
You do not want to do that.
That goes against everything you stand for.
I don't know what- You don't know what i stand for.
You pull that trigger, you become a terrorist.
[Sobbing]
Is that what you want?
[Hassan sobbing softly]
[Gently]: is that what you want?
[Sobbing]
Now, j-J-Just...
Put the gun down.
Just put it down.
[Marla]: terry!
Hey!
Hold her back!
Terry!
[Gun fires]
[Color commentator]: and welcome back.
Good crowd here today.
Here at eight, ader
From off the green,
With a putter in his hand.
Let's just see how he plays this.
Ah... yes!
[Crowd cheering]
He's got it!
Todd olson, four under,
Bogey-Free,
And within four of david alcarros,
In the lead here in our final round.
Well, we mentioned that after this week,
We go out to hardy park next week
In san francisco
For the world's golf championship.
It was at hardy park some 40 years ago,
At the greater invitational,
Which was the first victory for george archer.
Terry?
It's 10:30.
It's okay.
It's the same as yesterday.
The winner of the 1969 masters
The tallest ever tour champion,
Not only goes to him that victory,
But over a dozen pga tour titles,
19 championships-
There you go.
He has played in 999 pga tour championships,
And the hip injury that bothered george
At age 20...
They told him he'd be in a wheelchair-
[Sighing]
But he persevered, fought through,
And played so well-
Some late-Breaking news coming in now
Regarding the mysterious deaths last tuesday.
The 12 fatalities were caused
By atm deposit envelopes
From banks across the city,
The most recent fatality
Originating from an atm envelope
At first international bank.
It appears the envelopes'
Lickable seals have been found
To contain free cyanide,
Which is extremely lethal.
The source of the cyanide
Appears to be prussic acid,
And investigators speculate
It was mixed with the glue on the envelopes' seals.
At this point,
It's still not clear
Exactly where these envelopes came from.
As the fbi and police officials
Continue their-
[Commentator, distorting]: it appears he's trying not
To put any spin on the ball.
Just hammer it.
[Anchor]:it isn't clear just how widespread
The danger may be.
They are also requesting if anybody has any information
On where these envelopes may have come from,
Please contact the fbi
Or your local police department.
[Tv shuts off]
[News reports overlapping, distorting]
[News voices growing louder]
Illegal immigrants...
[Voices overlapping]
[President bush, echoing]: and all that lies before us...
May god grant us wisdom,
And may he watch over the united states of america.
