[ Tractor Rumbling ]
[ Engine Stops ]
[ Murmuring, Indistinct ]
Lying lands you right here, smack dab in front of me.
When it comes to Iying, I'm your man.
[ Eli ] And that makes Dr. Lightman very special.
So, since you dragged me away from my work, who can teII me what a Iie is?
- Eh? - When my mom teIIs my dad he's not getting a big beIIy?
Yeah, right. We Iearn to Iie from grown-ups.
I mean, they think you don't notice, but you do.
Most of the time, lying's bad, even if you think that you're doing it for a good reason.
Trust me, Iife's a Iot easier if you Iearn to teII the truth.
Lightman is miserabIe.
- What strings did you puII to get him to do this? - [ Lightman Continues ]
I had EmiIy ask. She tutors a coupIe of the kids.
Thought I couId turn our cIass probIem into a teachabIe moment.
- GIad to be of heIp. - So...
even if you're just thinking of not teIIing me the truth...
l warn you, it's pretty hard to keep a lie from me.
Go on. Go on. I dare you.
Eh?
Right. CIyde the turtIe.
Which one of you stoIe CIyde the turtIe from Miss AngeIa's cIassroom, eh?
No takers?
All of you are innocent, are you? Eh?
- We need to taIk. - Right.
Good. Um, uh, boys and girIs, meet...
F.B. I. Agent Benjamin ReynoIds.
- Oh, hey, kids. How you doin'? - [ ChiIdren ] Hi.
Hi, Agent Ben.
We need to taIk. Foster's waiting.
- You too. Come on. - AII right.
Oh, and by the way...
whoever it is that stoIe CIyde the turtIe-
Right? TurtIes- they Iike Iettuce.
Or is that tortoises? I don't know. Work on that, aII right?
Take a Iook at that screen.
This guy parked right in front of the Treasury Department Annex.
- That's Iike two bIocks from here. - Yeah.
- How Iong's he been there? - A little under 1 5 minutes.
- Anybody consider this might be a peacefuI protest? - [ Button CIicks ]
[ Man's Voice ] There's a crazy farmer named HaroId CIark drivin' up...
to Washington, D. C., to blow you federal folks up.
He's got his tractor-trailer packed with enough explosives to blow up the whole town.
[ Button CIicks ]
- So, not a peacefuI protest then? - Yeah.
- Who's the caIIer? - [ Ben ] We don't know yet.
CaII was reIayed here, but the subscriber information didn't convey.
- We're waiting to retrieve it now. - Is there anything eIse...
to support the fact that he actuaIIy has a bomb in there?
That's what we need you aII for.
So, question at hand- Is the threat reaI or is it a hoax?
- We need to get these kids out of here. - No, we're not doing that.
ProtocoI is anyone within the bomb radius stays inside and away from exterior windows.
In situations Iike these, more peopIe are kiIIed by fIying gIass than the bIast itseIf.
PIus, this guy- he may be waiting for peopIe to evacuate just so he can trigger it.
So, everyone, including these kids, is staying right here...
untiI we can figure this thing out.
I was hoping you were going to say that.
[ Man ] Dream, send me a sign
Turn back the clock
Give me some time
l need to break out
Make a new name
Let's open our eyes
To the brand-new day
- [ Typing ] - AII right. I got us tapped into the Bureau's cameras.
- AII right, tight as you can. - [ Typing ]
- Tighter. - [ Typing Continues ]
AII right, come on, come on.
[ Mutters ] Come on. HeIIo, HaroId.
- So, what do you know about this man? - It's Iike the caIIer said.
The guy's name is HaroId CIark. He has a-
WeII, he had a famiIy farm right outside of Fredericksburg, Virginia...
- but it's now in forecIosure. - He definiteIy seems agitated.
No, he's anxious.
Yeah, which I might be if the president didn't take my caII.
Oh, come on. You know that's not gonna happen.
No, what I'm saying is, I'm not seeing mad bomber anxiety here.
- Do you have any of your agents going out to this guy's farm? - Yeah, from the Richmond office.
- [ Cal ] Where's Torres? - Do you think she's ready to handIe this on her own?
No. But we seem to be under Iockdown here, so I'm wiIIing to Iower the bar. Where is she?
HeIping set up her cousin's quinceanera.
Oh, weII, hoId the cake. Let's send her down to the farmhouse.
See what HaroId's famiIy thinks of his IittIe fieId trip.
- What about the kids? - I'm aII over it.
Okay, you guys, Iet's go. QuietIy.
Oi. [ WhistIes ] Come here, you.
Hand it over. Yeah, nice try, son. That's how I got it.
- Um, we need you aII in the conference room, okay? - Why?
Because it's awesome. Come on.
- Go ahead. Go on. - Let's go.
Is something wrong?
Uh, we have a bit of a situation.
We just need you aII away from any windows.
Hey. Eight third-graders in a room with no toys and no puppies?
- It's gonna be chaos. - Yeah.
- Speakin' of puppies, you Iike kids, don't you? - No.
- Yeah. - No-
Boys and girIs, this is crazy UncIe Loker.
He's going to be continuing your education on lying.
Hi.
- For how Iong? - Long as it takes.
Hey.
Torres is en route. Oh. This is my boss. ASAC Steele.
- Dr. Cal Lightman. - BiII SteeIe.
Thanks for Ietting us set up here.
Right. My office, my science you're obviousIy after.
So, my command. That do it for you?
Where we doing this?
I have some information you need to hear.
Right.
OpticaI chemicaI sensors are picking up traces of ammonium nitrates...
and dieseI fueI from the traiIer.
- Aren't those pretty standard farmyard smeIIs? - Yes.
But he couId aIso have an ANFO bomb big enough to take out severaI bIocks of downtown D.C.
- Right. - CoIIateraI damage-wise, there's a pretty strong case here...
for death by sniper, wouIdn't you say?
l mean, you only need to be 30% sure he's got a bomb, and you can just kill him.
That's taking one potentiaIIy innocent Iife but saving thousands of others...
incIuding those kids in there.
You're the expert. That's a caII you're gonna have to make.
What, do I Iook Iike an F.B. I. puppet to you?
Your offices, your command. You're the one who said that.
Yeah, l did say that, didn't l? Right. No, thanks.
CaI. CaI. Come on. Look, Iook, Iook.
My boss is a reaIIy good guy, okay?
But he's not equipped to figure this thing out the way you are.
So come on, man. We need to know.
- Does that guy have a bomb in the traiIer or not? - Right.
Right. If I'm gonna do this, I'II need to deaI with him personaIIy...
- so can you put me through? - No, no, no. We have our own negotiators.
- Bombers have a messiah compIex, so- - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Avoid discussion of the bomber's present crisis in order...
to prevent him from exercising his godIike power to destroy and kiII.
- Yeah. I wrote that bit in the manuaI. - Is that true?
WeII, when you're ready.
AII right.
[ DiaI Tone, DiaIing ]
[ Line Ringing ]
HeIIo?
HaroId. I'm CaI Lightman.
You have the president with you?
No, no. Not right now. But I'm caIIing at his request.
WeII, caII me back when you got him.
What do I know?
[ Knocking ]
- Yes? - Mary CIark?
Mmm. Who are you?
- May we come inside, ma'am? - Uh, my-my friends are here.
Oh, this won't take Iong.
We are Iive outside the Treasury Department Annex...
in Northwest Washington, D.C., where a disgruntIed-
Has HaroId ever taIked about taking any action against the government?
- Mrs. CIark? - Uh, he compIained.
You know, Iike everyone eIse, about taxes and the economy.
I just, uh, can't beIieve he's up there in damn D.C. with his tractor.
[ Ria ] So you did not know that he was gonna go do this today?
No. No. I mean, he taIked about, um...
maybe going up there with a megaphone...
and, uh, caIIing out them bastards in the Treasury Department.
- But, uh, no, not this. - WeII, it sounds Iike HaroId's pretty angry.
Damn right he's pissed. You know, they took his famiIy farm.
Three generations, they had it.
Ma'am, it's not a huge Ieap from anger to vioIence.
Does he have a bomb in that traiIer he towed?
You Iisten to me.
HaroId and I have been together since sophomore year in high schooI.
I know this man. He wouId never hurt anyone.
- You didn't answer the question, ma'am. - No, he doesn't have a bomb.
He just- [ InhaIes, ExhaIes ]
He just wants to taIk to the president.
Uh, you don't beIieve that. Otherwise, you wouIdn't have fear aII over your face.
[ Man On T. V. ] There is now evidence the F.B.l. is preparing to-
I'm not afraid of what he's gonna do.
I'm afraid of what you aII are gonna do to him.
So unIess you have a search warrant to be here...
I'd, uh, reaIIy Iike it if you'd Ieave my home.
- I can get a warrant in 1 0 minutes. - Then get it.
[ Man On T.V. ] ...treating the man as a terror suspect at this point. Arson-
Reading emotions heIps us discover Iies.
So who wants to teII me what emotion this person is feeIing?
This- That one.
Hmm?
Contempt.
l don't think they know what that means.
ls this really science? lt seems dumb.
We were supposed to Ieave a haIf an hour ago.
- Why are we stiII here? - [ Boy ] Now's when we have music class.
- [ Girl ] Yeah. - Isn't this better than music cIass?
- No. - Dr. CaI...
they want to know why they're here instead of music cIass...
- which is where they normaIIy are at this time. - That's my fauIt.
I toId your bus driver to pick up a coupIe friends of mine at the airport...
and the pIane was Iate, so he's stuck there waiting for them.
- Sorry about that. - Are you aIIowed to do that?
Yeah. I got permission from your principaI.
You know, someone in here...
is definiteIy Iying about CIyde the turtIe.
l can smell it.
Right.
Loker, get your guitar.
- Entertain the troops. - [ SIaps Back ]
[ Sighs ]
[ Phone Rings ]
Oh, it's Torres. Hey.
I spoke to HaroId's wife. She's definiteIy hiding something.
- Did you ask her about the bomb? - Yeah, but she doesn't beIieve he has one.
Who ever heard of a husband keeping secrets from his wife?
The onIy thing I know for sure is she doesn't beIieve he's vioIent.
- [ Man On Police Radio ] Would you give me that address again? - [ Phone Beeps ]
[ DiaI Tone, DiaIing ]
[ Line Ringing ]
- [ HaroId ] HeIIo? - HaroId, I got a question for you.
CaII me when you're ready to Iet me speak with the president.
Yeah, weII, he wants to know what you want to taIk about.
Is it gIobaI warming, death paneIs- what?
I want to taIk about our tax money being sent overseas...
or bailing out banks, but letting our farmers choke on their own crops.
- Somebody's gotta stand up and say something. - Right.
WeII, I'II pass that on. In the meantime, couId you answer a question for me?
Yeah, what is it?
Right. What kind of bomb are we taIking about?
- [ Harold ] What? - Well, there's a rumor...
going around here that you're sitting on a bomb, so-
Is this you trying to change the subject?
- No, no. We spoke to your wife. She was a IittIe off. - I want the president.
- [ Phone Snaps Shut ] - AII right. Let me repIay that.
[ Distorted Voice Rewinding ]
[ Harold ] What?
When you asked him if he had a bomb...
the Ieft side of his Iip tightened.
It's contempt. He's being deceptive.
So you're giving us the green Iight?
What is it with you peopIe? Why is it aIways red Iight, green Iight, eh?
What do you want me to do, pull the trigger for you?
Wait, wait. Let me expIain something to you.
I'm trying to save innocent Iives, yours incIuded.
All right? There are no easy choices here, so let's all act...
Iike grown-ups, make the hard choices and saIvage what we can.
Right. WeII, what I'm teIIing you...
is that he's being deceptive...
in his deniaI of having a bomb.
Now, I don't know yet what that means exactIy.
It's good enough for me.
- Do it. - I'II prep the snipers.
AII right, so once you're in pIace, conceaIed and on target, sound off.
Let's foIIow aII protocoIs on this. No happy triggers.
- Roger that, sir. - Do you guys have to do this in the Iobby?
We've got a bunch of kids here we've managed to keep in the dark so far.
UntiI I give the word, you are not authorized to shoot unIess someone's in immediate danger.
- You got that? - We'II be waiting for your green Iight.
- Then get going. - [ Snipers ] Yes, sir.
- A IittIe mood Iighting? - Yeah, the baIIasts on the fIuorescent Iights interferes...
with our video and encrypted radio communications.
AII right, we're good to go.
Now, you've got some sembIance of a rapport with HaroId.
Just keep him distracted whiIe the snipers move in, okay?
- Oh, that's nice. - [ Radio Static ]
- Remind me to renegotiate my contract with you. - [ Beeps ]
- We appreciate what you're doing, Doctor. - Yes, I know you do.
[ Dialing, Line Ringing ]
- HeIIo? - HaroId, me again.
I spoke with the president's office.
When can I taIk to him?
WeII, you need to promise me that no one's gonna get hurt here.
I don't want anybody to get hurt.
- [ Phone Beeps ] - See, that was genuine.
So work with that, or I'm done here, aII right?
- [ Phone Beeps ] - l believe you when you say that...
but I don't think you're teIIing me the whoIe truth about the bomb.
Quit staIIing.
- Did you teII the president what I wanted to taIk about? - Yeah, I did.
I toId him. But he wants to know what it is that you want him to do.
I'II teII him on the phone.
Is your wife invoIved in this?
No. No, this is aII me. Quit pIaying games.
- [ Phone Snaps Shut ] - Right.
Okay, seats forward. We're going to have a concert.
[ Mutters ]
- Hey. - Hey.
How dangerous is it out there?
How dangerous is it in here?
Uh, I don't know. But I trust Lightman...
and it's my job to keep these kids from freaking out.
What if their teacher is freaked out?
WeII, I'II heIp her too.
- But you gotta heIp me with them first, okay? - Okay.
Okay. Uh, who knows the words to ''Puff the Magic Dragon''?
My mom says that song's about illegal drugs.
[ Children Gasping ]
I don't- I don't think that's ever been definitiveIy proven.
- [ Man On Radio ] Sniper team moving into position. - All right, copy that.
You can go ahead and try and engage him. We're ready.
[ Man On Radio ] Copy that-[ Continues, lndistinct ]
[ DiaI Tone ]
[ DiaIing ]
[ Line Ringing ]
- Do you have the president? - AII right, HaroId...
a IittIe reaIity check here.
Your situation is veering from bad to worse by the minute, mate.
I'm gettin' coId and I'm gettin' angry...
and I don't want to taIk to you anymore.
WeII, that's unfortunate, because I'm the onIy person here...
who has any desire to taIk to you.
I just want to taIk to the president.
Well, let's start with the truth then.
What kind of bomb are we taIking about here?
[ Sighs ]
The bomb's rigged.
- How? - lt just is, okay?
If you do anything to me, you try to hurt me, the bomb goes off.
And if I don't speak directIy to the president before the sun goes down, the bomb goes off.
But look, man, all that can be avoided...
- if you just have the president caII me. - [ Phone Snaps Shut ]
- Is he teIIing the truth? - Yeah.
Yeah, I beIieve he is.
But he's aIso showing fear. Right? It's the kind of fear...
that you get when someone's got a gun to your head.
Believe me, l've seen that.
You know what? Zoom into that tractor seat.
Go ahead. Yeah. Lower.
Lower, Iower. Keep going. Keep going. Keep going. Right there.
[ Sighs ] Oh, God.
We didn't see it before because his jacket was in the way.
Sniper One to base. AII sniper teams in position. We're waiting for green Iight.
Just hoId your positions, sniper team.
You are not cIeared to fire. Stand down.
Sniper One is cIear. Standing down.
If this guy has a dead man's switch on that seat and we fire, that might detonate the bomb.
- We shouId use an L.V.B. water disrupter. - Is that what I think it is?
It's a bomb we bring in to kiII his bomb.
Oh, this is just gettin' better and better, this is.
I found something on the 91 1 caII you shouId hear.
[ Man's Voice ] There's a crazy farmer named HaroId CIark...
driving up to Washington, D. C., to blow you federal folks up.
- One more time. - [ Computer Beeps ]
There's a crazy farmer named HaroId CIark...
driving up to Washington, D. C., to blow you federal folks up.
- AII right, just that Iast IittIe bit. - [ Computer Beeps ]
- ...bIow you federaI foIks up. - Do you hear it?
- Yeah, he's smiIing. - What?
The inflection of his voice changes because a smile changes the sound...
of your voice by shortening the voice resonance chamber.
- He's smiIing as he says ''bIow you federaI foIks up.'' - Wait a minute.
- You can teII someone's smiIing just by Iistening to them? - You can't. But we can.
He knows something you don't, and he's Iaughing at ya.
- So what is this, a practicaI joke? - No.
I think he's teIIing the truth.
- He finds some kind of sick humor in this. - He may be connected to this.
Yeah. HaroId is not working on his own.
We need to find this guy quick.
- AII right, yeah. - [ Steele ] Make the call, Dr. Lightman.
- Good. - We're running out of time here.
No, I get it. I do.
You're Iooking for someone to bIame in case this thing goes south.
That's why you set up your command center in my office...
effectiveIy putting my finger on the trigger.
WeII, what do you say we make sure before you just go ahead and kiII him?
Are you done? Because constitutionaIIy speaking...
we don't have to be right to use deadIy force.
We just have to be reasonabIy sure.
And in a worId fuII of bombs and Iunatics...
sometimes there's no room for scientific certainty.
You know, you're so scared of making a huge mistake...
you're prepared to make a smaIIer yet potentiaIIy stiII tragic one.
You want this to end peacefuIIy, give me proof and aIIow me to do that.
All right. The 91 1 caller was just l.D. 'd as Ron Jackson.
White maIe, 38, Iives near HaroId in Virginia. Boss, we've got time.
We should get Torres and one of your agents over there right now.
Yeah.
In this situation, staIIing and not making a decision are the same thing as making one.
I want to be certain of the truth when I make my decision.
WeII, you better make it soon, 'cause the cIock is ticking on that bomb.
Bomb? What bomb?
[ Sighs ] He had to go to the bathroom.
You're a big kid, right?
You're not gonna turn into one of them whiny IittIe crybabies, are you?
- Mm-mmm. Mm-mmm. - No?
AII right.
Here's the truth. Right?
Not far from here, there is a man who says he's got a bomb.
He's trying to get some peopIe's attention.
Now, maybe he has, maybe he's Iying.
But in the meantime, you and your mates, you're gonna stay here.
Just to be on the safe side. You got it?
- Mm-hmm. - AII right. Now, it's my job...
to find out what's what with this maybe, maybe not bomb-type thing.
And I'm exceIIent at my job. Just ask Loker here.
And it's your job to be a top-notch third-grader.
You up for it? Yeah?
You up for keeping this a secret from your mates...
so they don't get aII, you know, scaredy-cat on you?
Good. AII right.
WeII, go pee then.
Excuse me.
What can I do for you?
- We're Iooking for Ron Jackson. Is he your husband? - [ Sighs ] Don't remind me.
Wait, ma'am. F.B.l.
Where is he, ma'am? We need to taIk to him.
Sorry. I thought y'aII were biII coIIectors.
Where's your husband, ma'am?
HonestIy, I got no idea. What's he done now?
You know a man named HaroId CIark?
Yeah. I guess everyone knows HaroId now.
- How do you know him? - Him and Ron are in the Farmer's Co-op.
They, uh, mostIy get together, drink and bitch about things.
AII right we take a Iook around, ma'am?
Um, yeah. We ain't got nothing to hide.
[ Dog Barking ln Distance ]
BIasting caps. For bombs.
All right, look, just hear me out, okay? Maybe Jackson was an accomplice.
But he got coId feet, decided to caII 91 1 and give up the whoIe pIot.
That doesn't expIain the smiIe behind his voice.
What is that?
Oh, that? That's how these boys pIan to end this.
- lt doesn't look like much, but- - [ Ben ] Here's the deal, okay?
We're gonna pIace that container of water near HaroId's bomb.
There's a Iarge quantity of C-4 in the middIe of the container...
which we wiII then detonate, sending the water out at 7 2 miIIion P.S. I.
lt'll disrupt Harold's bomb before it can explode.
- And HaroId's bird feed. - He won't even know what hit him.
[ Phone Rings ]
- Oh, this is gonna be fun. - [ Ringing Continues ]
HaroId.
What the heII is that thing coming towards me?
[ Cal Over Phone ] lt's an X-ray machine, Harold.
We need it to map the bomb so we can figure out a safe evacuation pIan.
TeII me about Ron Jackson.
- You know about Ron? - Yep.
Better stiII, why don't you teII me how to disabIe the bomb so nobody gets hurt.
I don't- I don't know how to stop it.
It's not my bomb.
Whose is it?
Is it Jackson's? Is he puIIing the strings?
I shouIdn't even be taIkin' to you.
They'II kiII her if I teII you guys anything.
KiII who?
Look, you might as well tell me. lt's just us on the phone, right?
I mean, you're aIready in a very bad spot. You do know that, don't you?
They have someone in my house with my wife.
They're gonna kiII her if I don't go through with this.
I don't know what eIse to do.
He's teIIing the truth.
- [ Man On TV] The Washington Metropolitan Police Department- - [ Phone Rings ]
- has cordoned off a 1 2-block area around- - Torres.
- Hey, it's us. Are you at the CIark house? - Yeah. The warrant came through.
Where's Agent Ervin?
Um, he's doing a search of the barn.
Ria, give very simpIe answers, and don't Iet anyone think what you're saying is important.
- Okay. - Is there a man there named Dave MiIIer?
- He wouId have been there aII day. - Yeah.
AII right, I'm gonna caII Ervin and teII him to get in there.
This man is probably armed, and he's willing to kill.
Wow. I did not know that.
He's there as a threat against the wife to force HaroId to go through with this.
- That would certainly explain- - The fear you saw earIier.
Okay. WeII, that sounds fun.
Um, hopefuIIy I can get tickets.
ReynoIds has been on with Agent Ervin. He's on his way. Just sit tight, aII right?
CooI. Let me know how it goes.
ShouIdn't be more than a few minutes. We'II get out of your hair.
What are they saying about HaroId? They find out what kind of bomb it is?
No. No. But, uh, I do have some bad news.
I don't think they're going to Iet HaroId taIk to the president.
- ProbabIy not. - But I think I have a soIution to this whoIe thing.
And you two know him weII, obviousIy, so Iet me just run it by you.
I have a friend who works in AssembIyman Kincaid's office.
Maybe I caII in a favor, and he can taIk to HaroId.
[ ChuckIes ] That's, uh- That's not reaIIy the same thing.
But at Ieast it's a phone caII with someone who works in the government.
Lady, quit wasting our time.
That's kind of the point, actuaIIy.
Put your hands on your head.
[ Police Radio Chatter ]
Knowing peopIe Iie aII the time, it must make you pretty cynicaI.
Sometimes, but you get to see the truth occasionaIIy.
Truth is, I'm reaIIy scared right now.
I know. Me too.
WeII, a IittIe bit.
I just- I want another chance, you know? I'd do things different.
Is that a stupid thing to say?
No, not at aII.
- Oscar's acting weird. - [ Children Chattering ]
Oscar, are you okay?
- Hey. - Hey.
You know, when I was your age, I had a crush on this girI.
OIder woman, reaIIy. Sixth grader.
I was aIways worrying about it, stressing out about it.
And, uh, then I reaIized that there was nothing you can do.
Um-
So sometimes, when there's nothing you can do...
you just have to beIieve that everything's gonna be okay.
And you write a song.
You can't be worried and write a song at the same time. Right?
l mean, you look to me like a guy who can write some fantastic rhymes.
Am I right? Yep?
I can teII that about you.
l can see it on your face.
So Iet's give it a shot.
[ Cal ] Your wife and your son are safe, Harold.
Thank you.
- TeII me about Jackson. - l don't know.
He just put me in this tractor and he told me to drive here.
He said if I got out of the seat, it wouId trigger the bomb.
- And he didn't mention any other... pIan to you? - No, nothing. l mean-
I mean, I knew that he was even angrier than I was...
but I never thought in a miIIion years he wouId- [ Sighs ]
I'm a dead man.
- Can I speak to my wife? - Yeah.
Yeah, I'II work on that for you. Yeah.
Sit tight, HaroId, aII right? I'II get back to you.
You have to caII off the disrupter charge untiI we can figure out what's going on.
- HaroId is just a pawn. - I.R.A. used to do the same thing.
They coerced civiIians to do the work for them.
There's nothing we can do for him. He's still sitting on a bomb we can't defuse.
[ Ben ] Okay, good. lf he moves, call me back.
Jackson just turned his phone on. We triangulated it to 1 5th and l Street.
Okay, that is right here.
Just outside the bIast radius.
And that's aIso near the hoteI where Secretary Dobbins is hoIding his economic summit.
Okay, Jackson's credit card was used to rent a white box van four hours ago.
AII right, I'm headed over there now. Remind me what this guy Iooks Iike.
Let's get that out to aII units.
He's not gonna Iook Iike that, is he? He's probabIy gonna be disguised or something.
You need to look for the posture and the- the gaze of a... terrorist.
- Why am I teIIing you this? - Why don't you just come with me.
Right.
[ Door Opens, Closes ]
Take a Iook at that. White box van, no pIates.
[ Protestors, Chanting ] America comes first! America comes first!
- Suspension's maxed out. - Yeah.
This has aII the teIIs of a bomb deIivery vehicIe.
This takes me back.
He's probabIy gonna want to hide in pIain sight. CouId be in that crowd over there.
[ Ben ] Yeah, so he can keep an eye on his van.
Yeah, and the target, when he arrives.
What happens if you spot him?
- That's the signaI. - AII right.
[ Chanting Continues ]
Yeah, give me the bomb squad.
[ Shouting, Indistinct ]
America comes first! America comes first!
- America comes first! - [ Man ] Help the little guyl
America comes first! America comes first!
- America comes first! America comes first! - [ Siren Whooping ]
America comes firstl America comes firstl
America comes first! America comes first!
- America comes first! America comes first! - [ Siren Whoops ]
Hey, Jackson.
We got HaroId's wife and son. They're safe.
- Got the wrong guy, paI. - No, no.
You're Ron Jackson, right? You got a bomb in that van back there, don't you?
Answer me.
What about HaroId's traiIer? Is that just a decoy?
Eh?
Answer me.
[ Siren Wailing ]
[ Chanting Continues ]
l know that's the trigger. Jackson, put the phone down.
Put it downl

[ Clamoring Continues ]
[ Eli ] All right. So you're all officially songwriters now.
Nice work. And I want to thank Oscar for these great Iyrics.

[ FoIk ]
I say I'm 1 0 when I'm nine and a haIf
My uncIe teIIs a joke and I try to Iaugh
In gym I fake a headache when I want to quit
l say l love the sweater that my grandma knit
- But that's a white Iie - White Iie
That's the kind you wanna teII A white Iie
- [ Children ] White lie - So your mom won't have to yeII
- A white Iie - White Iie
Everybody does it 'cause it feels all right and it's more polite
But a Iie's stiII a Iie even when it's white
You go.
I pretend I'm asIeep when my dad waIks in
I said I ate my chicken but I just ate the skin
Your face can say you're lying when your mouth says you're not
Your pants are on fire but they're not too hot
- When it's a white lie - White Iie
[ Eli ] lt's the kind you wanna tell A white lie
- White Iie - So your dad won't have to yeII
- A white Iie - White lie
Everybody does it 'cause it feels all right and it's more polite
But a Iie's stiII a Iie even when it's white
WhiIe it might be hard to say what's true
Would you want a white lie told to you
- But that's a white Iie - White Iie
- It's the kind you wanna teII, a white Iie - White Iie
- So your mom won't have to yeII, a white Iie - White Iie
Everybody does it 'cause it
[ With AngeIa ] FeeIs aII right and it's more poIite

[ Angela Chuckles ]
- Good work. Yep. - [ ChiIdren Cheering ]
- [ Siren Wailing ] - [ Police Radio Chatter ]
[ DiaIing, Line Rings ]
- [ SteeIe ] Command post. - Sir, we've got Jackson and the bomb. It's over.
Yeah, things are about to get wrapped up here too.
Did you get HaroId out of the tractor yet?
I can't risk the Iives of my bomb techs on this.
There's no teIIing how many booby traps there are on HaroId's device.
- Boss, Iisten- - Look, Ben...
you did a great job, okay?
But we're proceeding. I'm sorry.
If there are other conspirators out there, they find out Jackson's dead...
they'II push the button on HaroId's bomb.
Hey, when I asked Jackson about HaroId's bomb, right, he was defensive.
He was bIuffing.
Can you teII me with 1 00% certainty that there's no bomb in HaroId CIark's traiIer?
No, not yet. But give me time.
- We're out of time. - [ Handset Rests ln Cradle ]
- [ Phone Snaps Shut ] - [ Police Radio Chatter ]
[ Siren Whoops ]
[ Police Radio Chatter ]
[ DiaIing ]
- [ Radio Chatter Continues ] - [ Officer ] Okay.
- [ Phone Rings ] - HeIIo?
HaroId, uh, we got Jackson and MiIIer, and we took care of Jackson's bomb.
- How's my famiIy? - They're doing fine.
[ Sighs ] Thank you for saving them.
I can't take credit for that, but I'II pass on your thanks.
The F.B. I. stiII thinks you have a bomb in your traiIer...
and they want to disrupt it with an expIosive device.
It couId, you know, kiII you in the process, so-
- I understand. - HaroId, did you ever see the bomb? Did you-
Or were you just toId about a dead man's switch?
No, I heard the cIick of the switch. I never saw the bomb.
Ron said that he would call and tell me how to defuse it...
if l just stalled you guys long enough.
- That's not good enough. - Yeah. No, I get it.
Look, they shouId go ahead and do it-
[ Over Monitor ] just to be sure.
There are too many people around here.
And if there is a bomb in my traiIer...
I'd rather die than Iive knowing I may have kiIIed other peopIe.
Yeah, we're not there yet.
PIease, just Iet me taIk to my wife before they do it though.
PIease, so I can just say good-bye.
- [ Police Radio Chatter ] - Yeah.
- [ HaroId ] Honey, I hope you can forgive me. - What are you taIking about?
I Iove you. I have aIways Ioved you...
and I want you to-
I want you to give Bobby a big hug for me.
l want you to tell him that l am sorry.
I aIways been very proud to have you as a husband, HaroId.
Let's do it, Ben.
You know, you shouId Ieave if you don't want to see this.
[ Phone Rings ]
It's about bIoody time, Torres.
- [ Ria On Speaker ] l got it. Should be ready to pull up. - AII right.
- And? - l think you're right.
[ Ria On Monitor ] HaroId have a bomb in his traiIer?
- Yes, there is. - Why should l believe you?
[ Miller ] Ron wanted to kill the secretary of treasury...
and aII those money men when they evacuated.
Even if that didn't work, he was gonna have HaroId's bomb bIow just to get the message across.
So, yeah, HaroId's got a bomb, aII right.
- I mean, you see that, right? - I see it.
Right. He's Iying through his teeth.
I mean, their onIy hope of coIIateraI damage...
is if the F.B.l. blows Harold up for them.
I mean, you're the puppet now.
No. I can't take that chance.
WeII, I bIoody can. I'm gonna see HaroId.
- Boss, I'm gonna have to go with Lightman on this one. - I said no. I can't aIIow it.
You asked me to make the caII, right? WeII, now I'm making it.
There is no bomb in that traiIer.
- If you're wrong, it's your ass. - WeII, if I'm wrong...
in five minutes, I won't have an ass, wiII I?
- Are you teIIing me you're a hundred percent sure? - Yes.
But...
I'd cIear the area, you know...
just in case I'm wrong.
Hey, HaroId.
Hey. How you doing? l'm Cal Lightman.
We spoke on the phone earIier.
You're safe now. You can come on down.
Are- Are you out of your mind?
No, not right now, but in a coupIe of hours, I'm gonna be reaIIy very drunk.
WeII, what about the bomb?
There's no bomb. It's-It's safe.
- There's a bomb. I heard a cIick. - Yeah, Harold...
this is probabIy your one and onIy chance to waIk away from this.
So if I were you, I'd definiteIy step on down.
[ Switch Clicks ]
[ ExhaIes ]
CarefuI.
Here, Iet me give you a hand. You're aII right.
There you go.
[ Siren Wailing ln Distance ]
- [ Sighs ] - You aII right?
Don't go near that one, 'cause that one is a bomb.
- [ Sirens Approaching ] - [ HaroId Groans ]
[ Groaning Continues ]
- What are you doing? - Hang on a minute.
Good work. Nice work. No? Okay.
I'm the one who stoIe CIyde.
I know.
- Come here. - He's a turtIe...
and he doesn't Iike being in the cIassroom at night aII by himseIf.
- I took him home so he wouIdn't be IoneIy. - Okay.
You know, I think that CIyde probabIy Iikes being on his own at night.
I think he enjoys the quiet.
I say you bring him back into schooI tomorrow...
aII right, to the cIassroom, but you sneak him back in.
No one needs to know a thing.
I think I shouId teII Miss AngeIa.
ReaIIy?
Huh. WeII, good girI.
I might have a job for you one day.
AII yours.
Get outta here. Don't miss your bus.
- Come on, you guys. I'II be right there. - I hope you guys had fun. Bye.
[ ChiId ] Bye.
[ ChiIdren Laughing ]
WeII, there's a first time for everything.
- You all right? - [ Laughs ]
- Mm-hmm. - Um, anyone want a drink?
- AbsoIuteIy. - Oh, yes, pIease.
