[Brig General Francis Hummel is addressing the Pentagon about his takeover of Alcatraz, but gets miffed at somebody's snide comment]
General Al Kramer: Frank, it's Al Kramer.
BG Francis Hummel: Hi, Al, how you doin'?
Kramer: I don't know, Frank. Ah, why don't you tell me. Got a lot of very, very worried people here, Frank.
Hummel: I'll come straight to the point. Eighty-three Force Reconnaissance Marines have died under my various commands. Forty-seven in northern Laos and southern China.
White House Chief of Staff Hayden Sinclair: Southern China? We never admitted we sent troops into China.
Hummel: Who is this? Identify yourself.
Sinclair: White House Chief of Staff Hayden Sinclair, General.
Hummel: How old are you, Chief of Staff Sinclair?
White House Chief of Staff Hayden Sinclair: I'm 33-
Hummel: Well, Mr. Sinclair, you've probably got no fucking idea what I'm talking about. By your ninth birthday, I was running black ops into China. My men were responsible for over 200 enemy kills. Now put some rigging tape over Mr. Sinclair's mouth, he's wasting my time!
Kramer: Ah you want to continue, Frank?
Hummel: 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 goddamn military burial. This situation is unacceptable. You will transfer 100 million dollars 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?
FBI Director James Womack: Except for the Red Sea Trading Company. What is that?
Hummel: Identify yourself.
Womack: This is FBI Director Womack, General.
Hummel: It's a slush fund where the Pentagon keeps proceeds from illegal arms sales.
Kramer: Jesus, Frank! This is classified information.
Hummel: You alert the media, I launch the gas. You refuse payment, I launch the gas. You've got 40 hours, till noon day after tomorrow to arrange transfer of the money. I am aware of your countermeasure. You know, and I know, it doesn't stand a chance. Hummel from Alcatraz. Out. [disconnects video call]
