Jeffan FBI agent, was demoted due to a job error. Depressed, he is arranged to perform an unremarkable errand to find a 9-year-old boy with autism, Simon. Jeff found the target without much effort, but at this time Simon was severely traumatized because of the brutal murder of his parents, and he couldn't say a word. In a sense, the two of them are actors of the same disease, and Jeff understands the boy's mood very well. At the same time, years of work experience told him that Simon is also facing a dangerous situation at this moment. This is indeed the case. Simon is a child with extraordinary intelligence. He inadvertently cracked the military’s code. The project codenamed "Mercury" is a secret that the military must keep at all costs. In this way, two people become The target being pursued.

Lomax: [to Jeffries] Sometimes you got something... just magic, and then it goes away. You had it, but the magic's gone.

Nick Kudrow: You know what I think, Mr. Jeffries? I think you've seen too many of those four wheel drive commercials on TV.
[Art laughs and claps his hands]
Nick Kudrow: The ones where you get to drive fast and be a renegade? Let's talk about the real world for a moment, shall we, where you're not some wonderful, lone wolf hero, but you're part of a team, and you play your position, because that's what America is, Mr. Jeffries. It's one big team. Now this might be difficult for you to grasp, but I am a patriot. And a patriot is one who makes the right moral choice. Sometimes it takes a strong man to make that choice. One boy cannot survive on his own. One of nature's mistakes weighed against the lives of thousands of our people. Think about it. You worked undercover. How many of our agents will be put in harm's way if this code is compromised? Members of your team. Men like Rashid Halabi, an Iraqi-American, and a great patriot. A man who as we speak is undercover in Saddam's Republican Guard. A man who has not seen his family...
[Art kicks him in the stomach]
Art Jeffries: That's for Simon's parents, you piece of shit!
