of the San Francisco Bay area.

- I will call again at 0100 hours

to state my demands.

- I want to 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.

Last night General Hummel,

using brutal but nonlethal force...

under the guise of a security

exercise, walked off with 15

V.X. Poison gas rockets.

He lost one of his own men

in the process.

That's General 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, General Hummel

is a man of honour.

General, it's him.

Frank, it's Al Kramer.

Hi, Al, how you doin'?

I don't know, Frank.

Ah, why don't you tell me.

Got a lot of very, very

worried people here, Frank.

I'll come straight

to the point.

Eight-three Force Reconnaissance Marines

have died under my various commands.

Forty-seven 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 f***ing idea what I'm talking about.

By your ninth birthday, I was

runnin'black ops into China,

and my men were responsible

f- for over 200 enemy kills.

Al, 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?

It was my men on the ground

that 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 goddam 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?

- Identify yourself.

- This is FBI Director Womack, General.
