[at the CIA - O'Donnell is on the phone with Mendez in Iran]
Jack O'Donnell:
It all just changed. They called the game. You've got to come back. Joint Chiefs are planning a military rescue of the hostages in a month. Delta Force started training to storm the grounds. So if the six of them get brought down there, they won't be held for long.
Tony Mendez:
I never would have exposed them if I wasn't authorized to take them out.
Jack O'Donnell:
It's over, Tony.
Tony Mendez:
They will be taken. Probably not alive.
Jack O'Donnell:
Listen to me. The thinking's changed. Six Americans get pulled out of a Canadian diplomat's house and executed, it's a world outrage. Six Americans get caught playing movie make-believe with the CIA at the airport and executed, it's a national embarrassment. They're calling the operation.
Tony Mendez:
We're responsible for those people.
Jack O'Donnell:
What we are is required to follow orders. I'm sorry.
[Mendez hangs up. O'Donnell sits listening to the dial tone for a moment, then puts the phone on the receiver. Then, very suddenly, he looks at an old coffee cup near him and backhands it off his desk]
