- I'm sorry, he stepped away.

He won't be back until

this afternoon.

I can try him on his cell phone.

Just have him call me

as soon as he gets in. OK?

- OK.

- Thank you.

Listen, guys, a mistake

has been made here. All right?

- I'm not a traitor. I'm an engineer.

- A reverse engineer, right?

We know that you accepted payment

of classified government technology.

Mike, that's called treason. In this

country, people get fried for that one.

In this country when the FBI harasses

you, you also get an attorney.

Not today you don't.

What the hell is this?

The attorney general calls me

and says

that Michael Jennings' cooperation

is a matter of national security.

Look, first of all, that stuff

isn't mine, OK?

A mistake...

What is?

Perfect fit. You were saying?

Well, let me show you a few pieces

of the puzzle that we're solving.

William Dekker, government

physicist, weapons division.

Three years ago, his project

gets shelved.

He didn't like that, so he sold

his work. Classified work.

Showed it to several corporations.

We think Rethrick bought it.

Unfortunately, we can't link Rethrick

to the sale, because Dekker died.

Natural causes.

"Natural" being gravity after a 140-foot

fall out of his apartment building.

What does this

have to do with me?

Patent applications filed this month.

They show designs

based on Dekker's work.

Look whose signature is on

every one of those documents.

Get it?

It's your name on those patents!

Rethrick can claim he knows nothing

about Dekker or the design.

You need to tell us everything

you did for Rethrick.

- I can't.

- You'd rather spend your life

in prison protecting

your friend?

- Help us, and we can work with you.

- I can't. I can't!

He wiped my memory!

I don't remember!

I'll tell you whatever I know.

I was set up. Believe me.

I don't remember what I did

for the past three years!

What?

Wait a second!

Wait!

We figured Rethrick tried a wipe,

so we'll try an extraction.

You're not gonna see anything.

You're wasting your time.

We're getting something here.

Come on!

Come on!

Sh*t.

We got nothing.

Hold on a second.

I need a smoke.

Boss.

He won't mind.

- Smoke!

- Sh*t!

- Goddamn it!

- I can't see anything!

Secure the door!

Where the hell is he?

- He's loose!

- Don't worry, he can't go anywhere!

Cover the door!

I'll get the lights!

I can't see!

Get low to the ground!

Stay low to the ground!

Mitchell!

See anything?

- Is that him?

- Klein, where'd you go?

Al, shut the door!

What's going on?

Good night, Mikey.

Copy that.

- Watch it, coming through!

- Go! Go! Go!

- Coming through!

- Out of the way!

- See him?

- I see him!

- Out of the way, lady!
