- We don’t have the proof. Without proof,
we’re nothing more than conspiracy mongers.

- Without proof,
all we can do is cry wolf.

- Don’t take it personally, man.
They strip-searched all of us.

- Eleven years we’ve been putting out
this paper. Think about it.

___________________________

- I’m talking about
government-sanctioned murder here.

- Is this another one of your wacko
conspiracy theories, like who shot J.R. ?

-J.F.K.

- Whatever.

--------------------------------
- We found this in the engine compartment
of my father’s car.

- You’ll notice that none of the circuits
have factory identifier numbers.

- This copper zigzag looks
like an integrated antenna.

- Etched into the breadboard
like a cell phone. We’re thinking..

- If this received radio signals and was clipped
at the car engine’s control module..

- The speed of the car
could be remotely controlled.

- All you’d need is a handheld
radio controller to operate the car.

- And make it look like a dead man was driving.

- Mm-hmm.

-----------------------

- N˙mero uno, baby ! Mm-hmm !

- Find something ?

Yeah, I wound up in some government
think tank’s upload directory.

Here’s your scenarios, ladies.

- These look like counterterrorism scenarios, war games..
developed for the Defense Department.

- What’s Scenario 1 2D ?

- Airline terrorism ?
That doesn’t make sense.

- Your father was murdered over a war game ?

- Download it.

---------------------
- John.

- Dad.

- What the hell are you doing ? Why can’t you
stay out of this ? Leave me buried.

- What is Scenario 12D ?

- We know it’s a war-game scenario...
that it has to do with airline counterterrorism.

- Why is it important enough to kill for ?

- Because it’s no longer a game.

- But if some terrorist group
wants to act out this scenario...
why target you for assassination ?

- Depends on who your terrorists are.

- The men who conceived of it
in the first place.
You’re saying our government plans to commit
a terrorist act against a domestic airline—

- There you go, indicting
the entire government as usual.
It’s a faction, a small faction.

- For what possible gain ?

- The cold war’s over,John...
but with no clear enemy to stockpile against,
the arms market’s flat.
But bring down a fully loaded 727
into the middle of New York City...
and you’ll find a dozen tin-pot dictators
all over the world...
just clamoring to take responsibility...
and begging to be smart-bombed.

- I can’t believe it.
This is about increasing arms sales.

- Mm-hmm.

- [ Sighs ] When ?

- Tonight.

- How are you gonna stop them ?

- ....

- Why didn’t you tell the world this ?
Go to the press.

- You think I’d still be drawing breath
30 minutes after I made that call ?

--------------------

- Let the F.B.I. deal with this.

- You said yourself we don’t know
the full extent of this conspiracy.

- We can’t trust any government official.
(...)
- This flight was chosen
primarily for its visibility.
 It’s scheduled to pass over Manhattan
on its way to Boston.

- You said they intend to bring this down
in the middle of New York City ?
(...)
- Well, how are they gonna bring it down ?

- The same way a dead man
can drive a car.
(...)
- Get me on that plane,
and I’ll get you autopilot access.

- How you gonna do that ?

- Airline telemetry systems use processors
similar to those found in C.B. radios.
(...)
- Remote access.
Somebody on the ground’s flying your plane.
(...)
- World Trade Center.
They’re going to crash the plane
into the World Trade Center.
