A scene from Tenet 2020
Neil

All doors are fireproof. Hydraulic closers, simple key and electronic triggers. Surprisingly easy once there's a lockdown.

The Protagonist

Why a lockdown?

Neil

Power switches to fail-safes, sealing the outer doors, but inner doors revert to factory settings...and pickable locks. It's child's play, really.

The Protagonist

Child's play? They're inside airport security. They have to worry about climate control, not armed raids.

Neil

So, how do we get enough firepower through the perimeter to trigger the lockdown procedure?...Back wall of the Freeport?...

The Protagonist

You've got something?

Neil

Not gonna like it.

The Protagonist

[After Neil explains his plan off camera to The Protagonist]

You wanna crash a plane?

Neil

Well, not from the air. Don't be so dramatic. I want to run a jet off the taxiway and breach the rear wall and start a fire.

The Protagonist

Well, how big a plane?

Neil

Well, that part is a little dramatic. [Walking up to Mahir sitting on a bench] This is Mahir. His team will work the plane.

The Protagonist

There can't be passengers.

Mahir

Norsk Freight...They use the hangar on the west side of the Freeport.

The Protagonist

You want to crash a transport plane? What about the crew?

Mahir

We pop the slides, chuck 'em off.

The Protagonist

On the move?

Mahir

What's the problem? They'll be fine.

The Protagonist

It seems bold.

Mahir

Bold I'm fine with. I thought you were gonna say nuts.

The Protagonist

And if you get caught?

Mahir

We won’t.

The Protagonist

And if you do?

Mahir

Everyone assumes terrorism, but no one's died so swift extradition then lost in the system. It'll barely make the news.

Neil

Oh...Depends on the size of the explosion.

Mahir

Well...Actually, The Gold Bars might get some play.

The Protagonist

Gold Bars?

Neil

Norsk Freight ships Treasury Gold once a month

Mahir

Blow the back. Drop it out on the runway.

Neil

No one will be looking at the building. I can guarantee you.
