Biography[]
Miles Jackson is an Irish professional criminal and an expert on bombs. Known for being an infamous terrorist, he brought down Trans Atlantic Flight 12, bombed the American Embassy in Frankfurt, and decapitated his brother for screwing him a deal in Tangiers. One day, a special FBI Agent named George Aiken failed to stop another of Miles' deals, which lead to him selling missiles to a terrorist who used it to crash a jumbo plane, with only a child's toy car left intact in the wreckage, which Aiken personally founded and kept. One night in New Orleans, Louisiana, he first stops at a sidewalk to briefly tell a player who was playing chess how to beat his opponent, then he moves on to make a deal with a guy named Samuel to buy a few weapons in exchange for diamonds. Samuel, who was being blackmailed by the FBI, suddenly shoots Miles to try and turn him into police custody to gain his and his brother named Joshua's freedom, but Miles, who was outraged by this, first tricks Samuel into selling out the FBI back for a chance to let Miles himself break Joshua out of prison, even killing a few security guards via his henchmen, but then he murders him by stabbing him in the stomach but not before revealing that he killed Joshua. He was then arrested by Officer Danny Fisher, who also accidentally got his girlfriend, Erica, killed after she ran into the path of a moving truck to escape his custody. Before being arrested, Jackson read Fisher's nametag and swore that he would remember him. The words continued to haunt Fisher.
A year later, Jackson escaped from prison and vows to get his revenge on Fisher for taking away his accomplice. Fisher must succeed at all 12 rounds or Molly will die. The first and second rounds are already done, being exploding Fisher and Molly's house and his car, killing Phil the plumber in the process, and taking Molly hostage. In the third round, Danny is supposed to find a cell phone. He succeeds and in the fourth round he is instructed to go to a locker at a certain time in New Orleans Savings and Loan (in fire), which he must inquire about. He must pick up two deposit boxes. The fifth round consists of ridding of one of the boxes which was a bomb and open the other which contains clue about the next round. It leads to Monteleone hotel, in which Danny finds photos of Molly and hints that Miles is still at the hotel. Danny approaches Willie; a hotel employee who knew about the whereabouts of Miles. However, they are on a elevator and it suddenly doesn't work anymore. Shortly thereafter, he receives the message that he must decide in the sixth round whether he or Willie will survive this round because in 60 seconds, the elevator will fall. Fisher has the choice of saving himself or let Willie go. But Danny climbs to the top of the elevator and succeeds making Willie climb with him. But when Fisher jumps on a window nearby, the elevator falls 5 seconds earlier than planned, gruesomely murdering Willie in the process. Besides Danny, the FBI is also hot on Miles. So they comb through the hotel, but only find the clue for the seventh round, after which Danny finds Molly, who was armed with an explosive device by Miles in a New Orleans's city bus. Despite the support of the FBI and a command of snipers, Miles and Molly manage to escape again after a sniper tries to shoot Miles without success. For the next round, Miles distributed several explosive devices around town that Danny should find before they explode. Jackson responds and tells him that his call has disabled the brakes on tram 907. In "Round 9" Fisher and Santiago run their car into the transformer, cutting off power to the entire neighborhood. They put the car in front of the tram, pushing people back until the tram finally stops.
In the meantime, Danny's partner Hank can track down Miles' cellmate who helped him to escape, who has since been released. When he visits him, they are both killed by a bomb planted by Miles.
Jackson's death.
Danny has seventeen minutes for the final round, as that would be when Miles' girlfriend died. However, as the detective couldn't have won every round, he realizes that Miles has a very different plan than getting revenge. All of the numbers in the Round 8 was linked to the tram and they find out that Jackson tricked them into shutting off the power because Homewood Security, a company which Willie had a second job transfers federally unprotected money from the United States Mint to New Orleans. He planned and does a robbery of money, disguised as a security guard and using Willie's alias. He even hijacked a rescue helicopter, planning to take Molly with him as he needs a health's professional to escape. Danny climbs aboard with a daring jump, overwhelms Miles and jumps out of the helicopter with Molly, which then blows up with Miles.
Personality[]
Miles Jackson is described as ruthless and cruel. One example of this is when he killed his helper after he escapes to prevent him from turning on him, even if he makes him the promise to return him his brother. According to Agent Aiken, Miles has killed his own brother because of a failed deal though this is just mentioned and nothing more. In contrast to this, Jackson is somewhat charming and warm, helping a random man how to play chess. Another part of his personality is that he is greedy, as he plans to escape New Orleans with millions of dollars robbed secretly.
Miles is also very intelligent and strategic, hence why he likes to play chess. He was able to avoid being caught by authorities during years by various means such as tricking his mole in order to help him to escape the FBI by falsely promising to bring him back his brother, arranging his escape from prison and organizing his revenge against Detective Fisher without being noticed, by creating himself the sophisticated game "12 rounds".
