Plot
When two police officers are out on patrol, they spot a van run a red light and pull it over. One officer and one man from the van get out, and the officer asks to see what's inside the back of the van. The man walks towards the door, but turns around with a gun and takes a shot. The police officer shoots the man but the van speeds away, and the police give chase. The van drives off a ramp and crashes into a wall, and the driver is captured.

News reports talk of radioactive waste stolen from a Russian reprocessing plant. The driver of the van is brought into interrogation, and begins to tell his story. He explains how he arrived at an airport to meet with a contact person for mission briefing,
