A local cop tries to save his father and several others who have been taken hostage by terrorists at Hoover Dam.

(deep dark music)

- [Man] Coming up on Nellis.

You ready to land that new baby?

- [Man] Roger, leader.

(deep tense music)

- [Man] (mumbles) for descent.

- [Man] Roger, I am

right behind you.

(exploding)

(deep intense music)

- Thank you, Dr. Henry.

Thank you.

- Good work out there.

Great job.

- Gentlemen, we have a winner.

(deep intense music)

Fly high circuitry

could be adapted into

any late model aircraft.

But at least double the

(mumbles) capability.

- Then why did we build a

whole damn new airplane?

(deep intense music)

- That plane, plus

the new circuitry,

is the cutting edge of

military technology.

We sell the circuitry,

we keep the plane.

(deep intense music)

It remains an exclusive

American weapon.

- It better.

Considering what it's

supposed to be capable of.

- Governor, I think

you'll be very impressed

with the demonstration.

- How many countries will be

attending this demonstration?

- 27.

(deep intense music)

- Did you stick with the

price we discussed last week?

- We bumped it, half

a billion per country

to pick up fly high.

- Half a billion?

- Hell of a lot cheaper

than (mumbles) fighter jets.

- Absolutely.

(deep intense music)

- Has the press blackout

been maintained?

- Only the White House

knows that the chip

and the plane are even here.

(deep intense music)

- Any security concerns?

- Come on, Governor,

who's going to break

into an Air Force base?

- I guess you're right,

you'd have to be a

real nutcase even

to think of doing

something like that.

- Building F3 is accessible

for both sides of (mumbles).

The target's housed in

a negative vacuum room.

How's security

once you're inside?

- (mumbles) employment

of the guards is eight.

- There are just two

regulars on the day.

- One here, one there.

(deep intense music)

- You sure there's only two?

(phone ringing)

(mumbles)

- Two minutes.

(deep intense music)

(guns firing)

- Two here, two there.

- Fine, I'll debrief him.

(intense rhythmic music)

The base entry plan

through the RC7 gate.

Rogers and Mike will be

manning that position

from 0700 to 1700 hours.

- Two minutes in, all

power down, right?

- That's correct.

- I don't think it's enough

time to get the chip.

(deep intense music)

- Any longer down and

the target will be

automatically vaulted,

making it inaccessible

to anybody

but the President of

the United States.

Do you have a problem with that?

(deep rhythmic music)

- Yes, because

after two minutes,

all defenses go

back up and running.

We'll be taking a lot of heat.

(gun firing)

- Anyone else have any problems?

(gun firing)

(intense rhythmic music)

At 0500 hours, all

personnel in arms will

move out through (mumbles).

Mr. Baffle will lead

the convoy in on

the eastern service road, E4.

(intense deep music)

(soft lighthearted music)

(light talking)

- Okay, you go.

Woobang!

(mumbles)

(laughing)

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, go ahead.

Whoa, hey!

(laughing)

Watch this, we're gonna

have a little fun now.

Oh, what is this

(mumbles), clumsy little.

(laughing)

We are gonna eat it

now like a dog, huh.

Woof, woof, woof, that's it.

How does that taste, huh?

What's this, tears, huh?

You crying for mommy.

What are we get you

now, huh, come on.

He's a feisty little kitten.

(groaning)

He bit me!

- Leave the boy alone!

(grunting)

Hold it right there, boys,

you boys don't

wanna be doing this.

I'm a deputy sheriff, it's

time for you boys to leave.

Come on, let's go!

You all right?

- Good job, Harper.

- Hey, Webb.

- Hey, Harper.

Hey, you wouldn't happen

to know if Captain's home,

would you?

- No, I don't know where she is.

Don't worry, Lou, I've seen

your food in worst places.

(deep rhythmic music)

- [Man] Beta group

will come in near

the entrance of

the elevators and

commence occupation of same.

After primary securitization,

the eagle will nest.

(intense rhythmic music)

(phone ringing)

(beeping)

- [Woman] Hi, this is Katherine,

I'm not home right now so please

leave a message at the tone.

(beeping)

- Bye, Lou.

(grunting)

(deep dark music)

- Hey, Geronimo!

(grunting)

(tense rhythmic music)

Back up!

(grunting)

(tense rhythmic music)

- I didn't get any word

about military maneuvers.

Can I help you?

- [Man] Mr. Bartel.

(gun firing)

- Take it down!

Mark, just take care of the fall

and pluck all communication.

- Sorry I took so long, Lou,

I got caught up over

at Blood Canyon.

Well, Harper, I see you're

having a friendly cup of coffee.

Sir, would you like to

file a formal complaint

for excessive force?

He said no, everybody hear?

Harper, you need medical?

- No, I'm fine.

- Well, you can help

me tie these boys up.

- I'm off duty, remember.

- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

- What's up, Webb?

- Harper's idea of off duty.

(deep rhythmic music)

- [Man] Move it!

Come on!

Down there.

(guns firing)

There he is!

(guns firing)

Come on.

I need three men over there.

- [Harper] What's all this?

- I'm moving as soon

as I finish packing.

- Just like that, without

even talking about it.

- Would it have done any good?

You know I don't like

living in the desert.

- It's not gonna be forever.

- I can't wait

any longer, Jacob.

I'm pregnant.

(soft serene music)

- Well, then for

sure you can't go.

- No, I'm not

raising a child here.

- We're still

married, Katherine.

- We're separated and you

can't tell me what to do.

- You're not gonna

take my child away.

- Well you know, there's

a really simple solution.

Come with me.

- I can't.

- Even your father

thinks you should.

- You told my father

before coming to tell me?

- Well, I wanted some support!

- You can't leave.

- No, you won't leave.

(deep rhythmic music)

- Move!

(intense rhythmic music)

(gun firing)

- Watch it!

- One of the security

guards is still missing.

He hasn't checked in

for his shift yet.

Give him another 15 minutes,

then we'll close off the

mine and the roadway.

We're still on

schedule, Mr. Bartel.

What about the hill?

- We mined the most

likely entrance roots

that a rapid response

team would take.

We're ready.

(deep slow music)

- [Katherine]

Jacob, I'm pregnant.

I'm not raising a child here.

- [Harper] We're still

married Katherine.

- [Katherine]

We're separated and

you can't tell me what to do.

- [Harper] You're not

gonna take my child.

- You know what, there's

a real simple solution.

Come with me.

- [Harper] I can't.

(deep slow music)

- I thought I'd find you here.

- Aren't you gonna

be late for work?

- After 22 years, I

can afford to be late

to work once in a while.

All that water's

still gonna be there.

What are you gonna

do about Katherine?

- I don't wanna talk about it.

- Son, don't throw

away the best chance

you'll ever have

for a good life.

I like the dessert, your mother

and I had a good life here.

I like being near her people.

- They're my people too.

- I know, I know.

And your mother always

loved that you were

proud of your Indian heritage.

But you have

responsibilities now.

You gotta think about

your responsibilities.

- Grandfather Eagle Claw

told me he had a vision

that I'd have a special

moment here in the dessert.

I believe him and I

can't go, not yet.

- Even if it means

losing Katherine?

Now don't be stupid, Jacob,

she's as special

as your mother was!

- It's my life, dad.

- Yeah, but it's my grandchild!

- Gentlemen, stand up, please.

Let's be clear with each other.

I will ask things on you and

you will carry them out

without question or comment.

If you don't.

(gun firing)

So, I assume we're clear.

Good, very good indeed.

(tense rhythmic music)

(beeping)

- [Woman] Agent Collins, sir,

I think you should

take this call.

- Collins.

- Oh, Agent Collins, yes.

Well, the thing is my

friend and I sort of

taken over the dams (mumbles).

As a matter of fact,

I'm calling you from the

control room right now.

- If this is some kind of prank.

- Well, our demands is simple.

Put 25 million

dollars in cash and

a sexy picture of Madonna,

I'm a big fan, you know.

Put the money in a briefcase.

I'll give you explicit

instructions in our

next phone call.

Oh and by the way, if you

fail to comply exactly

as instructed, I'll blow the

dam, flood the entire area,

probably causing a lot

of death and destruction.

Goodbye.

- You sure the call

came from the dam?

- [Man] That's confirmed, sir.

- Get a chopper,

we're on the way.

- [Woman] Sheriff, here's

the tape with their demands.

- Hello there, my name

is Harrison Dekker

and I've taken

over the Cooper Dam

with a few of my colleagues.

By now we've probably

killed a few people

but we're still

holding more hostages.

My demands are simple, put

25 million dollars in a bag

and bring it to me within

the next four hours

or I'll blow the dam and

we all know what sort of trouble

that would cause, don't we?

To say nothing of the

replacement costs.

I'm sure you'll do

the right thing.

Thank you for your

kind attention.

(deep tense music)

- What the hell's going on?

- You must be Mr. Harper.

- Can I kill this?

- No, let him live,

we need the hostages.

- [Woman] Sir, can you

give us any information

on the situation?

- [Woman] Excuse me, sir!

- I'm sorry but at this

time we can provide

with no further information.

To do so would be to jeopardize

the lives of the hostages.

Yes, this is a hostage

taking situation.

Many of you here are

familiar with protocol,

we are going to do

this one by the book.

We'll keep you informed of

any further developments

as they become available to us.

(group yelling)

Thank you, ladies.

- Come on in.

Close the door.

Boy, what a mess.

- Why didn't you call me?

- I'm sorry, Harper,

there's no time.

Things are going

crazy around here.

- My father's in that dam.

- I know, I know.

They're taking hostages, your

father could be one of them.

Negotiations are on their way.

The FBI has things

under control.

- What are we gonna do?

- We're gonna do exactly

what the FBI tells us to do.

We've got enough on

our hands taking care

of the civilians around here.

- Who's in charge?

- The guy over there on

the phone, Agent Collins.

He came in town and took

over the whole operation.

He made it perfectly clear,

stay the hell out of the way,

which is just fine by me.

- None of this really

makes any sense at all.

Dekker (mumbles),

Bartel's a mercenary.

Neither one of them

are terrorists, so.

Just a minute, Johnson, I

want you to send in a rapid

response unit to West Hills

right now, you got it?

Have them choppered

in out of (mumbles),

then they can hike and

setup their positions.

You got that?

- Yes, sir.

- So we have to concentrate

on civilians, Harper,

they've got it under control.

And Harp, we don't

need any heroic.

- Cecil, Cecil?

Cecil, where the hell were you?

Then do it in your

pants, damn it!

I can't have you

going anywhere while

I'm trying to set up

control right now.

Do you understand, I

cannot have you go--

- Deputy Harper.

- Not right now, excuse me.

Cecil, those men (mumbles)

that dam for anything.

The time is too much--

- Excuse me.

- Excuse me!

No, no, I don't care, Cecil!

I do not--

- Excuse me!

- Look, if you interrupt

me one more time,

I am going to have you

removed, you understand me?

Now listen, I'm not going

to tell you again, Cecil.

I can handle this, I'm

gonna have the Quantico team

sticking their (beep) in.

(grunting)

- Now, can we talk?

- Hey, hey, he's a law

enforcement officer!

His dad could be in the dam.

- Well, I'm real

sorry about that but

if you don't get him the

hell out of here right now,

I am going to have

him arrested for

interfering with a

federal investigation.

Get him the hell out of here!

- Yes, sir.

Come on, Harp,

let's go, let's go!

(people yelling)

- Rick, here's an update.

It's been reported that

one of the hostages

may be the father of

Deputy Sheriff Harper.

The Senior Harper is a

longtime employee of the dam.

He was scheduled to

work at the dam today.

He has not been able

to be located and

has not been heard from.

Mr. Harper's well known

and highly regarded for

the charity work he

does in the area.

His son, the Deputy Sheriff,

was not available for comment

but undoubtedly, this

personal aspect of the tragedy

must be a tremendous burden.

(slow solemn music)

(mumbles)

- Move it on to (mumbles),

let's go, move guys, move.

Move, damn it!

Johnson, Johnson, answer

me when I talk to you!

- What's the

problem, Mr. Bartel?

- You know I don't like

running things from down here.

It's just not my style.

- If we control the

elevators and the stairways,

we control access to the dam.

- Can you let me kill a

few hostages just so nobody

gets heroic (mumbles)?

- I admire your style, Mr.

Bartel, I like your work.

- Is that a yes or a no?

- [Harrison] No.

(knocking)

- Hey, I was just

trying to call you.

Is your father okay?

- That's what I'm

gonna find out.

- [Katherine] Please,

what the hell's going on?

- There's an old

construction tunnel

at the front of the dam.

I used to play in

it when I was a kid.

I bet they don't know about it.

- [Katherine] God,

are you crazy?

- Do you really think the

FBI is gonna turn over

25 million dollars

to these guys?

If I don't do something, my

father's as good as dead.

- Jacob, if you go in there,

you are as good as dead.

(deep tense music)

- My father's in there.

- Jacob, what about the baby?

I mean, what if

something happens to you?

Come on, Jacob, don't do this.

- I have to.

(deep tense music)

(phone ringing)

- Hello?

- Hey Kate, it's

Snookie, how you doing?

- I'm okay.

- I'm looking for Harper.

He had a big blow up

with those FBI guys that

just came in and I wanted

to make sure he's okay.

I don't want him

doing something crazy.

- Like what?

- Like, I don't know.

- I haven't seen him, Snookie.

- You know, I know he's

worried about his dad

being one of the

hostages over at the dam.

But the FBI boys, they

have a pretty good plan.

So if you hear from him,

have him call me, okay?

- Yeah, okay.

- Katherine, if you need to

call, don't hesitate, okay.

- Okay.

(deep rhythmic music)

- [Reporter] Hostages have

been taken at the Cooper Dam.

(deep tense music)

- Well, I wonder what

happens when you do this.

(alarms ringing)

- What the hell's going on?

- Just checking our information.

Is everything else clear?

- Got 1,000 cops with

1,000 guns sitting

on top of us, quiet yes.

- What about the press?

- There's a couple

of choppers up there.

- We'll give them something

to chew on about an hour.

In the meantime, let's

open the floodgates,

make certain we have plenty

of water flowing downstream.

Collins and his crew are

gonna be one surprised

group of idiots.

- You think they have any

idea what we're doing?

- Not a clue, not a bloody clue.

(laughing)

(deep dark music)

(phone ringing)

- [Woman] Sheriff's station.

- Sheriff, please.

- [Woman] I'm sorry, the

Sheriff's unavailable.

- Tell him it's Webb and

you better do it right now,

you got it!

- [Woman] I'll see

what I can do, Webb.

- What's up, Webb?

- You heard from our friend?

- No, you?

- No, but he's gotta

get ahold of me,

I got what he needs, remember?

- Let me give you some advice,

once you go playing games,

you're just gonna

get yourself hurt.

- Don't worry about me.

- I am worried about you, Webb.

- I can take care of myself!

- Sure.

You seen Harper?

- Not since the bar.

- You know where he is?

- Do you think he

knows something?

- I'm sure he knows something,

he knows about

the dam situation.

Look, I'll talk to

you later, Webb.

(slow tense music)

Harris!

Harris, get in here!

(soft tense music)

(beeping)

(phone ringing)

- Collins.

- Collins, you're

running out of time.

I'm going to start killing

people, one every two hours.

- Every hostage you kill

weakens your position

by one less person.

- Every hostage I kill jerks

your scrotum around your neck.

Let's see how many have to

die before I get what I want.

(deep tense music)

- I was gonna help you load up

but you ain't even

further along.

- I don't know if

I'm coming or going.

- What's wrong?

- Jacob, he's gonna try

to get inside the dam.

- No way, he can't do it,

it's locked up

tighter than a drum.

- He said something

about these tunnels.

- I know where he's

going, I'll stop him.

- We're not gonna

be able to stop him.

He's going after his father.

- There's no helping his dad.

Harper's gotta save himself.

Besides, he's got

responsibilities now, sis.

Whatever you do,

don't call Snookie!

(deep tense music)

- There seems to be

some kind of activity

happening at the

dam, right there.

- Let's see, we've got

two news helicopter

and three police helicopters.

Pick one, Mr. Bartel.

- Eenie, meenie, miney, moe.

(missile firing)

(exploding)

(deep rhythmic music)

- Tighten down security.

They'll probably try

something stupid now.

(deep rhythmic music)

(helicopter whirring)

- Your request for 25

million dollars is absurd.

- Oh, but Mr. Bartel's had

to put all this assault

equipment on his credit card.

Afraid someone's going

to have to reimburse him.

- I don't hold the purse

strings around here, Dekker.

- I'll kill a hostage

every two hours

until our demands are met.

- Killing any hostages

would be a major mistake.

- Two hours.

(slow tense music)

(deep dark music)

- That's a dream catcher.

(metal clanking)

- Thomas, you hear that?

(deep rhythmic music)

Bartel, Bartel,

this is Scorelli.

I think we have an intruder.

- That's impossible.

Probably one of the security

guards playing cowboy.

- All the security

guards are accounted for.

- Whoever it is, find

him and kill him.

Report back to Mr. Bartel.

- Yeah, bring me his head.

(deep tense music)

- [Man] (mumbles) watch

your toes on the trip line.

- Thank you for that

fascinating information.

Hutch.

(deep tense music)

(guns firing)

(exploding)

- Scorelli?

Scorelli?

Anybody seen or heard from

Scorelli in the last 10 minutes?

Grimwald, you grab Tiny,

you go check it out.

And you hurry about it.

(deep intense music)

- [Reporter] Reports

coming in from the FBI

say that hostages have been

taken at the Cooper Dam.

Latest reports also

confirm that the terrorists

have fired on police helicopter.

We have yet to confirm the

identity of the terrorists.

(deep intense music)

(coughing)

- Collins, this is Dekker.

I've been too lenient on you.

You've been screwing me around

on the 25 million, Collins.

Nobody screws me around,

least of all, some stupid

career cop making 50,000 a year.

I've got 12 hostages left.

In exactly 15 minutes from now,

I'm going to take

half the hostages,

there will be six in case

you're having trouble counting,

to the top of the dam.

I'm going to chain them

together and push them off.

There are still six lives you

can save if you act quickly.

All it takes is 25 million.

(deep tense music)

(gasping)

(groaning)

(fast rhythmic music)

- All right,

everybody, listen up.

As soon as we've got

our rapid response unit

into place in the hills

over in the Nevada set,

I wanna try a strike

at the top of the dam.

Comments?

- I got a comment.

What do you think

you're gonna accomplish

besides getting people killed?

- Sheriff, taking ground

a little at a time

is classic battle strategy.

- Classic stupid if you ask me.

What if they blow off

the top of that dam while

you're trying to

take it, then what?

- Sheriff, why don't you please

just concentrate on your,

your job.

- I've had 46 disturbance

calls in the last two hours

and they're coming back

to back, boom, boom, boom.

- Well then why don't you just

continue to do your boom boom

and keep the peace and I'll

do my boom boom with my men.

Thank you, Sheriff.

(deep dark music)

- I own you, Collins,

I know every move you make

before you even think of it.

- [Man] Mr. Dekker,

sir, this is Ace.

I think we have a problem.

- Damn.

- [Ace] Mr. Bartel, sir, have

you seen Tiny and Grimwald?

- I've got everyone looking.

- I'll send Dick down there

and kill anything that moves.

- Be right back.

- Back to work.

(deep tense music)

- Mr. Dekker, do

you want me to blow

another chopper in the sky?

- You know what's a

shame, Mr. Bartel?

The world will never

know the true brilliance

of this operation but

with the money our friends

are paying us for their

little piece of hardware,

more than compensate for

any lack of recognition,

don't you think?

- You got that right.

(fast exciting music)

- [Man] Move it.

Come on, let's go!

Come on, come on,

let's go man, move it.

Hustle, hustle.

(fast intense music)

- Mr. Bartel, I think

it's about time we let

these gentlemen know

we're not kidding around.

Why don't you go out top and

pull out the heavy artillery.

- Roger that.

- Dawson, take this man up top.

- Wait, wait, whatever

you need him for, take me.

- Nobody tells me what to do.

(deep intense music)

Still want to volunteer?

- Collins, this is Wench.

Second team has taken

position on the east cliff.

- [Man] Let's go.

(fast rhythmic music)

Move it out, move

it out, let's go!

Hustle, hustle.

Go, go, go, go, go!

(deep intense music)

- Dekker, we're in position.

- [Mr. Dekker] I'll let Mr.

Collins know that we're ready

to toss a hostage off the dam.

That should get his attention.

- Would you like him to go

over head first or feet first?

- [Mr. Dekker] That would

be your choice, Mr. Bartel.

- My pleasure.

(fast rhythmic music)

Blow it in 30 seconds.

- Oh god, no, no,

man, please don't.

Please don't, oh god.

- Collins, they're going to

throw a hostage off the dam.

(deep tense music)

- It's over.

Take out your gun,

set it down slowly.

Now stand up.

Walk straight ahead,

nice and slow.

Mr. Dekker, it's Larson,

I have the intruder.

(grunting)

(fast tense music)

(sobbing)

- What the hell do you

think you're doing?

- I did warn you.

- That's killing a man

in cold blood, Dekker.

- It's been almost two hours.

Did you hear me?

- I'm sending you

authorization for the rules

of engagement, Commander.

You have permission

to use full force.

Take them out now.

(deep tense music)

- Roger that.

Sniper, stand by for my count.

- On my mark, Mr. Bartel.

Three, two, one, mark.

(exploding)

(fast tense music)

- Let's see what you got.

(grunting)

- Let me show you how to

really bend somebody over!

(exploding)

(yelling)

That's better than sex.

(gun firing)

(grunting)

(deep tense music)

Move, move!

Move, move, move, go, damn it!

(gun firing)

(grunting)

(soft tense music)

- Now, let's talk

about the hostages.

(slow deep music)

Are you all right?

- Yeah, what the hell

are you doing here?

- What do you think?

- My son will get

us out of here.

He used to do all this covert

stuff when he was in the Army.

- Dad, please.

- Well, can you deactivate it?

- I don't think so.

And if I try to

force the cuffs off,

it could set off the bomb.

- What are you gonna do?

- I don't know.

- You came in here

without a plan?

- Well, what plan was

I supposed to have?

- How the hell should I know,

I'm not the one who

came busting in here.

- Shh, just let me think.

- Jacob, there's

no time to think.

- I need to get a key.

- Be careful!

- Your son's gonna

get us all killed.

- Oh sure, Ted, like you

had any chance of coming out

of this alive anyway.

- So Collins, are you now

convinced of my sincerity?

- [Mr. Collins] Stop

firing at my men, Dekker.

I have wounded to get out.

- If I do, will you stop

playing these silly games

from the FBI manual in

hostage negotiation?

- [Mr. Collins] I told you

before, I don't control--

- All right, more games.

Collins, make sure

that you're watching

the local television station.

I'm about to up the ante.

Larson, Larson, what

the hell took so long?

(deep tense music)

- [Jacob] Do exactly as I say.

- [Mr. Dekker] If you're

smart, you'll put the gun down

and I'll let you live.

- This way.

- What is your problem, chief?

Did we violate sacred

burial ground or something?

- I want the key

to the hostages.

- My only problem

is I don't have it.

- All right, let's get it on.

- This isn't going

to do you any good.

My men are everywhere.

Besides, I've told you,

I don't have the key.

- Then you better find it!

- How's it going, Harper?

- Webb, good to see you again!

- What are you doing here?

- I want the rest of my money so

you can't hurt him yet.

- Well done, good

fellow, you've got a gun.

Shoot him.

- Put the gun down, Harper,

or I'm gonna have to kill you.

- Are you crazy, Webb?

- Put the gun down!

- What are you doing, Webb?

- You think I won't!

Put the gun down!

I will, put it down!

- Don't listen to this moron--

- Shut up!

- [Mr. Dekker] Shoot him.

- [Webb] I deserve

better than this!

- [Mr. Dekker]

Don't listen to him.

- I'm not dumb,

Harper, I'm dyslexic,

there's a difference, you know!

- [Mr. Dekker] Kill

him, pull the trigger!

- Passing up the money they're

giving me would be stupid,

they're paying me a fortune!

- What makes you think they

let you keep the money?

- [Webb] I gave them

everything they want!

- Shut up!

- [Webb] No, you shut up!

- That's enough!

- I'm not stupid, Harper,

I left out one thing.

They need me,

please put it down!

(deep tense music)

(gun firing)

(screaming)

(groaning)

- You find him or (mumbles)!

(screaming)

(grunting)

- There he is, get him!

- He followed you

in here, didn't he?

- No, I forgot he

knew about tunnels!

He came before I did!

- What's he doing here?

- I don't know, he's a cop,

he's just playing hero!

- You moron, you

almost got us killed!

- Stop it, stop it!

Nobody else knows about

the tunnels, I swear!

- Is the top of the damn clear?

- [Man] Yes, sir.

- Take this dyslexic idiot

and make sure that the route

he took in here is closed off!

(beeping)

(deep dark music)

(exploding)

- I can't believe it.

- What'd I tell you?

- They actually blew it.

- No sign of him yet.

- Don't worry, we'll find him.

(deep scary music)

- Sending someone in here

was a pretty stupid idea.

- He's not our man.

- [Mr. Dekker] Then

who the hell is he?

- Well, he's on his own.

- I'm going to send him

back to you in small pieces.

- Have the highway patrol

get over there pronto!

Anyone find Harper yet?

- [Man] Still no

sign of him yet.

This guy could be anywhere,

he's unpredictable,

you know how he is.

(deep tense music)

- Everyone work your way down.

He's gotta be on that side.

Listen, you take

care of this geek.

- Renowsky!

Go pick up Kate Harper and

bring her in right now.

Go, do it!

(deep tense music)

I need more help now,

we're gonna have riots.

- That is absolute (beep).

- Half the population

in this county believe

that areas live in Area 51,

the other half believe it's

a government conspiracy

every time they hear

a sonic boom from

that experimental aircraft

they test up here.

So this ain't the most

stable environment

to drop a load of

terrorists in who wanna blow

up the second largest

dam in the world.

I need more help

and I need it now!

- Where exactly am I supposed

to get this help, Sheriff?

I've got every cop

in the area mobilized

plus the National Guard--

- I don't care where

you get the help from!

- You don't get anything,

I don't have the resources!

Dekker wasn't supposed to

blow up the god (beep) place.

- I guess Dekker

didn't know that.

Excuse me, I got

a riot to attend.

The highway patrol has

an emergency agreement

with Nellis Air Base.

- So what?

- So they'll order

troops if you ask them.

- All right, I'll do it.

I'll do it!

(deep dark music)

(grunting)

- You wanna tell me where

Jacob is, Katherine?

He could be in trouble.

(deep tense music)

(sobbing)

(whispering)

- General, I don't care

what you got going on

back at the base, this

is a national emergency

and it takes precedent

over everything else.

Now you comply with

the patrol request

or this becomes a presidential

concern, you got it?

General, I want them now.

(deep tense music)

- All right, the second

team is in position.

I'm gonna wanna shut down part

of the entire southern grid.

(deep dark music)

- You're (mumbles) aren't

all that quiet now, are you?

- [Jacob] Looks like I got

you as much as you got me.

- Really?

How about it, why don't

you just go ahead?

Pull the trigger.

Let's just see who dies first.

- It's time for the power down

and don't tell me you can't.

All units prepare

for a power down.

(guns firing)

(grunting)

(deep tense music)

This is the eagle, zigma

to proceed as scheduled.

Count down to power

off, proceed to entry.

Gentlemen, the target

is ready and waiting.

(grunting)

(deep tense music)

(yelling)

- Here they come.

- So what are you gonna do

with your half of the money?

- Change my name,

change my face.

Buy me a rich man's

place in the country

that ain't got no

extradition treaty

with the good old US of A.

- 1400, power down time.

Let's wave these

bad boys through.

(deep rhythmic music)

You think they'll pull it off?

- Hey man, these guys are

the best I've ever seen.

(deep tense music)

(grunting)

(glass shattering)

- You got a light?

- Where's Johnson?

- He got sent over to that dam.

They called me up from

reserve, I'm Ozgold.

- Cameron.

- Nice to meet you.

- There's no one left here,

Evans got sent over

to the hostage thing.

- You from around here?

- Local.

- You got a family?

- A couple beautiful kids.

- That's excellent, I'm trying

to start a family myself.

Let's move.

(deep rhythmic music)

(screaming)

- [Jacob] Now, where's

the key to the hostages?

- Looks like they pulled it off.

- They're rich men.

(slow tense music)

- It's gonna take hours

for the grid to reestablish

electricity in this area unless

Dekker sets the juice loose,

and he ain't about to do that.

I'm telling you, Collins,

you gotta get those troops

over here from Nellis now.

- They've all ready

been requested.

Now what about this two bit

deputy of yours, Sheriff?

- His name is Jacob Harper.

- All right, what are the

chances of Jacob Harper

pulling this thing off?

- Harper's a good cop, was in

special forces for six years,

knows this landscape like

the back of his hand.

If anyone can do

it, it's Harper.

(grunting)

(deep scary music)

- I just stole the

password to (mumbles),

I didn't think anyone

was going to get hurt.

- Well, you didn't

think hard enough.

- I was thinking of the money.

- Money makes people

do stupid things, Webb.

Giving them the password,

that would be stupid.

Now, where's the

key to the hostages?

- Go ahead and pull the trigger.

- Dekker's got it.

- You have exactly

one more chance

to do the right thing, Collins.

- I don't have 25 million

dollars, no how, no way.

- Well, how's this for real,

imagine what it costs

to rebuild this dam.

- Oh, you're not gonna

destroy that dam, Dekker.

You see, my sources are

telling me you don't

have enough explosives

to destroy that dam.

- Yes, well perhaps I

don't need explosives

to destroy this place.

- Meaning?

- Oh, you're a bright boy,

Collins, figure it out.

(slow tense music)

- Son of a bitch said

he could blow the dam

without explosives.

Yeah, okay.

Anyway to blow the dam

without explosives?

- Well, possibly, there is a

way to overload the generators.

- Why didn't anybody

tell me about this, huh?

Why didn't you

tell me about this?

- Bartel?

Bartel?

(deep tense music)

- Put your weapon down.

Here's the deal, let

the hostages go and

I'll give you back this scum.

- Bartel's a soldier,

he knows the risks.

- Webb isn't and he seems

to have something you need.

- The value of what he has

is directly proportionate

to a lot of factors, some

of which aren't clear yet.

- You don't have the

time to figure it out.

- You know, Tonto, most

people truly don't have

the stones to cold

bloodedly kill anybody.

Not unless there's a

great deal at stake.

What's at stake for you?

Because if it doesn't add

up to 25 million dollars,

I'm willing to call your bluff.

(tense rhythmic music)

Well, what the hell.

Since it doesn't

really matter anyway.

Hold your fire, men.

Let them pass, let them pass.

There will be no firing.

- If anybody fires,

they both go down.

- You amuse me, Mr. Harper.

You don't really think

you're going to just walk

out of here, do you?

- Come on!

(gun firing)

- Harper, Harper,

don't leave me, please!

- We gotta help him!

- Harper!

- Forget him, there's

nothing we can do for him.

Let's get these other

guys out of here.

(mumbles)

- Harper, Harper,

don't leave me.

Please, Harper!

- [Man] Sir,

permission is complete.

- Gentlemen, zigma has

secured the target.

I repeat, zigma has

returned the target.

The dance is over, Mr.

Bartel, let's move.

(grunting)

Disappointed in you, Webb.

You really should

have warned me.

(grunting)

I thought we were

closer than that.

I thought we were friends.

I ran a check on

your Mr. Harper and

it turns out that one of

the hostages is his father!

(coughing)

Perhaps there's something

else you'd like to tell me,

like perhaps the password?

- Screw you.

- That doesn't sound

like the password.

(grunting)

(soft tense music)

Come on, Webb, we had a deal.

You want the money,

don't you, hmm?

Come on, tell me the password.

(mumbles)

Thank you.

Good boy.

(soft tense music)

Well done, Webb.

I knew I could count

on you in the end.

(sobbing)

- Okay, okay.

(grunting)

(slow dark music)

- The money will be dropped

in 10 minutes at the top

of the dam as instructed.

- Oh, I'm so glad that you

finally saw reason, Mr. Collins.

- Just a warning, Dekker, you

mess with that damn again,

I won't rest until I find you.

- How single minded of you.

Aren't you worried

about the hostages?

- You hurt anybody

else and I'll hurt you.

- Break out the wet gear,

I'll deal with the

computer system.

(alarms ringing)

(beeping)

(deep dark music)

- Come on, let's move, move,

move, come on, move it!

Come on!

Keep your head down!

Come on, son, go!

- What's happening?

- They're overloading

the generators.

The whole dam's gonna blow.

- I've gotta go back.

- You'll get yourself killed.

- I love you, dad.

(slow tense music)

(alarms ringing)

- Go, move!

Let's go!

Keep moving!

Mr. Dekker, the

last of the men are

headed down the stairway.

You better come on,

we're going for a swim.

- Johnson, lock and

load the tracer and

close the dam lid.

Carter, inform rapid response

unit of our movements.

When Mr. Dekker puts

his hands in this,

we're gonna blow him

straight to hell.

Green, Sheriff Green?

Hey, we're gonna need a

police escort to the chopper.

Let's go.

- Must be Friday, Mr.

Bartel, time for your bath.

- Hello?

- [Mr. Collins] FBI, Collins,

who the hell are you?

- Jacob Harper.

- [Mr. Collins] What the

hell's going on there, Harper?

- It's over.

(slow solemn music)

Thanks, Webb.

- No, it just doesn't

make any sense.

Why go through all this and

not even try to

go for the money?

- My opinion, the way I see it,

Harper took care of business.

He did what should've done,

he chased them out of here.

- [Mr. Collins] I don't know,

something still doesn't

smell right to me.

- What a loser.

Harper, your dad's all right.

Katherine, I'm sorry about Webb.

(slow deep music)

Hey, let's blow this pop stand.

Come on, let's get out of here.

Its all right,

buddy, you did good.

(deep dark music)

- [Mr. Collins] (mumbles),

Bartel's a mercenary,

neither one of them

are terrorists.

- Tired?

- Thinking.

You know, as much as

I hate to admit it,

Collins is right.

This doesn't make any sense.

I didn't chase

them out anywhere.

- So they saw the game was up,

they got out while

the getting was good.

- I almost feel like they

didn't want the money.

Maybe they were

after something else.

- Something else, huh?

Take it easy, it ain't

that deep, relax.

Give it up.

- Where'd those

soldiers come from?

- Nellis, we brought

them in to help

out with ground control.

- You know, I remember where

I saw one of Dekker's men.

He did security when I

was stationed at Nellis.

This whole thing has

something to do with Nellis.

I'm gonna call Collins.

- Hold on, Harp, let's

talk about this before

you make a fool out

of yourself, Harp.

- Take it easy.

- Hey, Harp, let it go.

(deep dark music)

Stop it, Harp!

(grunting)

- Stop it, Snookie!

(grunting)

Stop it!

Will you listen to me!

Stop it, what are

you guys doing?

- Harp!

(fast tense music)

Harp, I didn't wanna kill you!

I didn't wanna do

it to you, Harp!

(mumbles)

(grunting)

(deep tense music)

- [Katherine] Webb and

Snookie, I can't believe it.

- Me either.

- [Katherine] I'm

gonna go call for help.

- No wait, we don't know

who could be listening.

You're gonna have to go

tell Collins what happened.

- Well, where are you going?

- [Jacob] (mumbleS) something

out of Blood Canyon.

(deep tense music)

- Any problem?

- The rest of your

money will be deposited

in your Swiss accounts

by noon tomorrow.

Isn't technology

wonderful, Mr. Bartel?

Instead of stealing the jet,

we steal a circuit board

and we have the entire

guts of an aircraft

on one thin piece of silica.

It's over, Mr. Bartel, you can

take off the war paint now.

All we have to do is

pick up our 100 million

and decide how to spend it.

- Gonna use the money

to hire a good attorney.

I hear the dream team's

looking for work.

- You see, Mr. Bartel,

a good lesson for us.

- [Mr. Bartel] Yeah, I

always take out the trash.

- Throw your weapons down, put

your hands behind your head

and get down on your knees.

- Or what?

(deep dark music)

- I do think he means it.

(gun firing)

- You put your hands

behind your head.

Now!

Can I kill him slowly?

(deep dark music)

(groaning)

Damn Indians.

(fast tense music)

(grunting)

- Harper, thank you.

(sirens ringing)

- You okay?

(soft serene music)

It looks like I might have to

stick around until you heal up.

- Yeah, looks like it.

- But then I'm going.

(soft serene music)

- Can I come?

- Yeah, I would like that,

I'd really like that.

(soft serene music)

(deep tense music)
