John Smith - You escaped.
Hawkins - You know you should have waited until daylight to try and burn me. I might not have been so lucky.
JS - I regret it had to come to that but you left me little choice.
Hawkins - You've got a problem now because you tipped your hand. You didn't just know where I was going, you knew exactly where I was. And that means you were tracking me.
JS - How would I have done that?
Hawkins - Well I think that's where it gets interesting. Because this phone is secure and the car was stolen. So the only way you could have done it was to have a tracking device inside the bomb.
JS - You sound paranoid.
Hawkins - Yeah, well that just may be. But 14 years ago it was you who wrote the report detailing how a massive nuclear attack would decapitate the federal government, right? And in that report you stated that one individual with enough access could mastermind that entire attack.
See it makes sense that whoever put those bombs in the field would have tracking devices in every single one of them so he would know when they were in place.
You had the axe to grind, you knew the system, damn it was you who wrote the plan. And then I think it was you who put that plan into practice. You're not just some innocent whistle blower, are you?
JS - I believe that I am. Only the last time I blew the whistle I took out 23 American cities.
Hawkins - You killed millions, tens of millions of people. Why?
JS - To liberate this country. When I worked for Jennings and Rall, I saw just how corrupt the relationship between the company and the federal government had become. No bid contracts, a private army, a corporation that wrote legislation. Jennings and Rall was a cancer grown deep into the bone of this government. So I decided to remove that cancer in one fell swoop.
Hawkins - Well you failed, because Jennings and Rall are more powerful now than they ever were.
JS - They're also more venerable. Jennings and Rall and the Cheyenne government are now centralized in one city. So when I strike the final blow, the disease should be gone for good.
Hawkins - What, you're gonna attack Cheyenne?
JS - With your bomb.
Hawkins - But you don't have it, the Cheyenne government does.
JS - I know exactly how to get it back from the Cheyenne military, and then I'll finish what I started. I'm just sorry we couldn't do this together Mr Hawkins.
Hawkins - You listen to me. I told you what would happen if you ever lied to me. If you ever tried to play me. I am gonna bring this to you. The next time we speak it will not be on this phone.
