Screenplay data
Detective Mike Reilly and his partner, Bill Rice, investigate a suspicious building where Rice is killed in a shootout, leaving Reilly to grapple with his partner's death and a new case involving a bomber named Alex Swan. Reilly is assigned to the Bomb Squad, where he learns about Swan's methods and discovers that Mary Jordan, a woman processed at the station, is Swan's sister. Swan escalates his attacks, planting bombs across the city and threatening Captain Winters' family, forcing Reilly and the Bomb Squad to race against time to prevent further casualties. Reilly, with the help of the Bomb Squad, tracks Swan to a bowling alley, where they disarm a bomb and Reilly shoots Swan's accomplice, Earring. Swan recaptures Mary, leading to a high-speed chase and a final standoff where Reilly confronts Swan, ultimately joining the Bomb Squad and being promoted for his bravery and quick thinking.

No, ninety-ninety percent of them are full of baloney. They're into the power trip, not the damage. What scares me is that this guy is so sophisticated he could blow up whatever he wants, then disappear. The worst of the bunch, they love the challenge of creating the wildest device ever... and they love the carnage.
Alex Swan - demolitions expert, trained at Redstone, dropped out, freelanced in the middle East for awhile, then disappeared, no criminal record. The other one, Leveau, is French Canadian, he's a mercenary, record in half a dozen countries.
Let me be very clear about this. The police won't let you go. When your boyfriend realizes this, I have a feeling a lot of innocent people are going to die. Kids, families. I know you don't want that to happen.
No question, it was definitely the one used to l-light the butt. Finger pressure suggests a male, average build, height... no prints, trace of nylon fiber... he wore a glove.
Lemme see... yeah, here it is, 11:18 this morning. Very disrespectful. He used to drive a van, but he got a new car. You want the license number?
He has a timer going as back-up, in case we got a hold of the remote. Okay... first, run your fingers along the edges, feel for a sensor.
Reilly, you're done for now. What the hell were you thinking directing the Bomb Squad Team into hot pursuit. They had no business-
You've been at the center of two suspect fatalities and two Police Officer fatalities. I'll need your badge and your weapon.
