Warhead (1996) - full transcript
Terrorists seize an American nuclear missile site and threaten to launch the missiles at Washington unless the President resigns immediately and $1 billion is placed in a Swiss account in 8 hours.
[drum]
NARRATOR: Long ago in
a letter from Germany,
DH Lawrence wrote, out of the
air comes a feeling of danger.
He saw a nation white
skinned, elemental, dangerous.
Prophetic words then.
If he saw the fires this time,
would he say, here we go again?
[drum]
Some extremist
groups were banned,
but members just
joined other groups.
And the young still shaved
their heads, a symbol of anger
and a violent promise.
[drum]
Nazi skinheads can now be
found in most American cities.
The best guess is they
number only about 3,000,
but that's 10 times more than
there were two years ago.
Klan membership in
the South is growing
and becoming more extreme.
At least 350 people marched
in Raleigh in January.
[drum]
The national
Anti-Klan Network says
Klan membership
in North Carolina
has increased 500% since 1979.
At least one Klan faction,
the Confederate Knights,
is set up along
paramilitary lines
and is believed to be tied to
other white supremacist groups.
[drum]
One week ago at
9:02 in the morning,
the lives of those in
Oklahoma City were shattered.
Many of our neighbors are now
dead, some of them children.
Of the dead, nine were
children under the age of two.
Police and paramedics
are continuing
to search for survivors.
We now cross to an earlier
broadcast from Senator
Brickman in Washington.
As chairman of
the subcommittee,
I think I speak for everyone
when I say how deeply outraged
we are at the recent bombings
of the Internal Revenue officers
across the states by Members of
the United Patriotic Movement.
Patriotic.
General-- what's his name?
Kraft, and the UPM are
nothing more than a bunch
of gutless cowards.
And I hope you're listening--
[phone ringing]
--because if I have my way--
Senator Brickman here.
--I'd bring you out of
business once and for all.
General who?
You can be damn sure
that my recommendation--
Who?
Hold on.
--to the president
and the joint Chiefs
are that we use every
available military
agency in this country.
I'm listening.
[music playing]
I heard that Senator Brickman
was thrown out of office.
Well done.
MAN: Maybe they'll pay more
attention to the United
Patriotic Movement.
The question is, how will
history record this event?
[music playing]
It's an act of terrorism or
like the Boston Tea Party,
as an act of freedom by
the New Patriots Fighting
for the new America.
As true Patriots, General.
[music playing]
BOB [ON RADIO]:
You're on the air.
WOMAN [ON RADIO]: Hi, Bob.
I don't know what we're
all so worked up about.
The UPM will just
disappear like the--
the Black Panthers, the SLA,
and all those militant fanatics
in the '60s and '70s.
BOB [ON RADIO]:
Well caller, I don't
know what makes you think that.
Wake up, people.
This is the '90s.
The UPM is not just
going to go away.
And we are talking
civil war here.
That's right.
You heard me, Civil war.
The UPM has repeatedly
attacked federal targets
across the continent
with a purpose.
The lines are drawn not by the
Mason-Dixen, but by economics.
OK, you're on the air.
MAN [ON RADIO]: Yeah.
Ditto on that Bob.
It is a war.
And I for one am sick
and tired of paying taxes
just to have them
give all our hard
earned money to help
foreigners raid our country.
You know?
BOB [ON RADIO]: Absolutely.
Now see people, here is a
caller with intelligence.
And where are we going?
Who owns our cities?
Get a grip, people.
You don't even have to be a
citizen to buy a $100 million
building in New York,
Chicago, or San Francisco.
That's right, folks, foreigners.
Foreigners.
They're buying up America
while working class middle
America pays all the taxes.
You're on the air.
MAN [ON RADIO]: Bob?
BOB [ON RADIO]: Yeah?
MAN [ON RADIO]: I think
aliens are behind it.
[laughter]
BOB [ON RADIO]: What?
The, the Mexicans?
MAN [ON RADIO]: No, no.
Aliens, you know?
From the neighboring galaxy?
BOB [ON RADIO]: Oh, Christ.
You know, it's
really hard, people.
This is exactly the kind of
caller that is why our country
is going down the crapper.
[music playing]
Good Morning, Director.
Morning.
Hey, Bob.
Check.
[interposing voices]
[interposing voices]
Knocking at the
door as we speak.
[inaudible]
WOMAN: Coming up, sir.
OK, let's go.
BOB [ON RADIO]: And we have
got to get back to reality
here, OK?
Where are all of our hard
earned tax dollars going?
Well if you're 30 years
old, all that money you give
each paycheck to social security
to support the unemployed, well
my friends by the
time you retire,
social security
will be bankrupt.
Wake up people.
Talk to me, Spotter.
Good morning, Lieutenant.
And how was breakfast?
OK.
Viper's Danny is 200 yards.
And I see five roaches
on the table top.
Otherwise, all is quiet,
and it's a beautiful day.
Craft, he was one of
your boys, wasn't he?
One of my best.
A solution that brought
Japan to its knees.
We will bring
Washington to their's.
- Sounds good.
- Got it.
MAN: What's wrong?
I never thought we'd be
tracking one of our own.
They may have a point.
But killing innocent
people isn't the answer.
Stay alert, PJ.
They may have been one
of us, but they wouldn't
hesitate blowing us away.
OK boys and girls,
make your mama proud.
[music playing]
Coming your way, Joyce.
CAROL: Sergeant Victoria Palmer.
AWOL, 9/28/95, Fort Bragg.
Dropped out of the Marines
to John Kraft and the United
Patriotic Movement.
Good-looking girl.
That's if you're into S&M.
Don't get too excited.
Prime suspect, Dallas Federal
bombing scene and [inaudible]
of Brickman's office.
Blast blew him out of
a third-story window.
Either that or one
hell of a sneeze.
Wilson, you're sick.
Carol, get that over
to National Security.
Make sure they know
it's hands-off.
CAROL: Yes.
[music playing]
WOMAN: Morning.
Morning, ma'am.
WOMAN: What can I do for you?
I got a delivery of dry
chemicals here for Mr. Tyrell.
Tyrell tell you
to bring this here?
No ma'am, my boss did.
I mean, I just do exactly
what I'm told, you know?
But if I could just get Mr.
Tyrell to sign on the bottom,
I'll be on my way.
And another.
Katie, hi.
Yeah, Tannen's not in
the office right now.
Hello?
We're trying to run a
country for gods sake.
CAROL: I'm sure he'll
call you tonight.
FBI Director, sir.
I'm sorry, Director.
He can't talk to you right now.
He'll call you as
soon as he can.
Well that's good
enough for me.
You men have the
authority to move.
I wouldn't wait for your
self-appointed general to show.
Director, we have
tracked Lieutenant
Kraft for over two years
across 25 different states.
She makes a strong point, Tom.
We've come this far.
Why did the fox step
out the barnyard?
All right, General.
You go for your fox.
But when Tannen gets back,
I want a full report.
I'll be at the White House.
A very good [inaudible]
on the president.
Tyrell's busy.
I'll sign for him.
- No, no, no.
My boss is going to have my ass.
You know what I mean?
I said I'll sign it.
[music playing]
Kraft's full of crap today.
You're telling me.
Lieutenant, more
than ammunition.
Ben suggests active
underground passage.
Leave your stuff by the
shed and be on your way.
I'll take care of that
right away, ma'am.
[music playing]
The fuck?
Uh.
Uh.
Uh.
Uh.
Drop it.
- Uh.
- Shit.
Uh.
Ah.
Oh, man.
Well, there blows breakfasts.
The roach is out of the kitchen.
Thank you, Lieutenant,
to lighting
my cooks high up in the air.
Well done.
Next time, hold the fries.
Talk to me, Spotter.
Talk to me.
I suppose I shall
have to entertain them.
[inaudible] and drop.
Copy that, Lieutenant.
Command enemy engaged, going
down is the locker rooms.
Do you copy?
They're sitting on a
goddamn hornet's nest.
Time to watch the camel hunt.
PJ, move it.
Uh.
Ah.
Uh.
Ah.
Ah.
Nice shot, Lieutenant.
Difficulty level 2.5.
Judge give you a ten.
Spotter, going in deep.
Assessment.
They're going deep.
It's got to be that
missing munitions shipment
from Pendleton last year.
Watch your ass
out there, Spotter.
Towers, we've got
a situation here.
Where general--
[interposing voices]
Get their asses in here.
[interposing voices]
Come on.
Move it.
Come on people.
Come on.
Jones, watch your back.
Roach at 9 o'clock.
[music playing]
Yes.
Garcia, cover my ass.
Don't touch her ass.
It's mine.
Pretty ass.
[music playing]
Come on.
PJ, move on.
Come on.
[music playing]
Take cover.
- Oh, this is going to be easy.
- You've got to be kidding.
Ah.
Ah.
[music playing]
Uh.
Uh.
Uh.
Ah.
Uh.
Uh.
- Ah.
- Jones?
Hey Jones?
Where the hell do you
think you're going?
Uh.
Uh.
This is no time
for recipe swapping.
Uh.
Uh.
SPOTTER: Don't hurt him.
You hurt him.
Now, that's nice.
Hey Jones, how come you
never do that to me?
I'll see you tonight.
[music playing]
Ah.
[inaudible]
Lee?
Lee, Allen?
I'm sorry.
I left the translation
book at home.
OK?
Hey Garcia, far out man.
There's a roach at 11 o'clock.
No Garcia, not digital,
it's a face cloth.
That means Mickey's right.
He's on the 11 and
left hand is on the 12.
[inaudible] Let's
take them out man.
Parks, do them a favor.
Take out the two roaches.
Shake your ass and move guys.
[music playing]
Ah.
Ah.
Ah.
Ah.
Thank you.
[music playing]
One, two, three.
Do it.
Tannen, mother load.
Underground mine 5 degrees
west back behind the barn.
We're sitting on an
ammunition dump here.
[music playing]
[inaudible],, this is the
spotter coming to you live.
The players are
leaving the ballpark.
Everything is safe.
We'll need IDs.
Clearance on the way.
ETA One hour.
And you can find
that, Spotter?
SPOTTER: [inaudible]
Confirmed.
MAN: No ops
casualties confirmed.
Out.
Tell Tannen no heroics.
Watch his ass.
[music playing]
Ah.
Uh.
Uh.
Ah.
Uh.
Uh.
Don't mention it.
It's rigged.
PJ move.
[inaudible]
Ah.
Oh, fuck.
Reducing signal.
Get a boost on that now.
What in the hell was that?
We've lost Tannen.
Spotter?
Come send me that booster now.
Talk to me, Spotter.
Could you hang on a second?
Please general.
Lieutenant Tannen?
PJ?
Do you copy?
Can you hear me?
Talk to me.
God damn it.
Could you hang on a
second please General, Sir.
Lieutenant Tannen,
PJ, talk to me.
Talk to me please, guys.
Don't leave us now.
Come on talk.
Talk.
Talk.
Spotter, tell the
old man we're OK.
Oh, thank god.
Touchdown.
OK, Plays, Lieutenant
Ted and PJ are OK.
Ops command this is Spotter.
The men are breathing.
Already won, Spotter.
Nice work people.
Uh.
Uh.
Uh.
Ah.
PJ?
Uh.
Uh.
Don't mention it.
I won't.
I got a bad feeling about this.
What the fuck is this place?
It's a whole new war.
MAN: You expect me to by that?
MAN: I can tell that
it's not impossible.
You can honestly sit there and
tell me that this UPM group can
walk into a top
security missile site
and launch a nuclear warhead
whenever they damn well please?
We are dealing with a highly
organized movement, director.
And they are dealing with
the United States military.
UPM is made up of
people who are, or were,
part of our armed forces.
Oh, yeah?
Well, I don't buy it.
Without proper
identification, no one
walks in, except somebody
like Kraft, who's already had
the highest security clearance.
Tom, I think you
ought to listen
to what Tannen has to say.
He's on a special
assignment to us.
Well I don't care who Kraft
is or what his clearance was.
These are restricted
military bases.
You give me a
three-man team, and I can
promise you I'll be
inside any secure
silo in less than two hours.
All we need to launch
the warhead are the codes.
A lot of Americans
are buying this crap
about America being sold out.
I mean, we just
don't know how deep
UPM propaganda is penetrated.
Some of it makes some sense.
If you're a bigot or an
out-of-work member of the KKK.
Gotta agree, Tom would be
more foolish to underestimate
UPM's capability.
So I guess I'm
the one that has
to go before the
Joint Chiefs and ask
for increased silo security.
I suggest we
change the security
codes on all the silos.
MAN: Dr. Evans would be right.
In the Caribbean
on assignment.
I'll put a
security team on it.
I don't like it.
This all seems like
overkill to me.
So is launching a warhead.
Call Evans in.
Now I know it goes
down on the president.
COPILOT [ON SPEAKER]: This
is your copilot speaking.
REGH Andrew's Air Force
Base is 2 hours 15 minutes.
Should be clear
sailing once we reach
altitude over the Caribbean.
Enjoy your flight.
Shift's over.
Go on.
Get out of here.
No.
I still got to break down UPN
locations for intelligence.
It should take a couple hours.
Try something
different for once.
Go on home.
Things are kind of
rocky at the home front.
I mean, the couch isn't quite
as comfortable as it used to be.
And not committing to this
marriage thing, well it's--
Military wives are a
special breed, god bless them.
You know, mine's as
cantankerous as I am.
Then I get 30 years, but I
wouldn't trade it for anyone.
Go on soldier.
Go home.
Gentlemen, we're
experiencing some turbulence as
well as an electrical failure.
Please extinguish
all cigarettes.
I'd put the oxygen
masks over your mouths.
Oh, boy.
SOLDIER: Got to be kidding.
[music playing]
Enjoy your flight.
[music playing]
They have less altitude here.
No mayday call.
Could be engine failure.
I doubt it.
Aircraft control
lost contact, General.
Last fix was
northeast of Haiti.
See you there, rescue.
They've got nothing.
What if it was a hijacking?
There was no
reason to suspect--
What the hell happened to
the security team I put out?
Cause that was
Dale's call, Jack.
You overrode my order?
That's enough, Lieutenant.
I thought security
was my department.
Hello?
Director?
Well, I'm sorry to
disturb your party.
We have lost the
package off Haiti.
Tannen's going in.
Who should I carry with
a Haitian attach , you?
Good.
Thank you, sir.
That will keep it going.
On with it, General.
Evans is my friend.
And If something happens,
if there's trouble,
you get your ass out of there.
You just make sure the locals
are friendly this time, OK?
[music playing]
I got a bad
feeling about this.
Well that's reassuring.
[music playing]
Lieutenant Tannen.
Go ahead.
Let them go, guys.
[music playing]
Copilot's dead.
No sign of the pilot.
Holy shit.
They've been poisoned.
No Doctor Evans.
Better take a look at this.
It's from Pendleton.
Hold it, PJ.
Jesus.
You just triggered
the motion detector.
You move that thing,
it's gonna blow.
Tannen, this is my
field of expertise.
Now don't pull it.
Don't yank it.
Just cut the red wire.
You got it.
Move back.
You heard him.
Let's move.
[music playing]
Tannen, I said the red wire.
Son of a bitch, Kraft.
Tannen, you're a lunatic.
Don't mention it.
You knew we'd find
that cylinder.
We got truck marks,
sir, half a dozen troops.
There it goes.
[inaudible], [inaudible] sir.
One pair, noncombat.
You also knew
we'd have to contact
ops command before proceeding.
So fuck him.
If we move, we have
no position backup.
We got to find Evans
before he gets the codes.
How far ahead?
Engine's to the wall.
Half, half, 45 minutes ahead.
Tannen, we need authorization.
They know our objective.
Gentlemen, I'm making
a field decision here.
We're going in.
PJ, go with me on this one.
[music playing]
We need your jeeps.
It's been paid for.
[music playing]
I got a bad
feeling about this.
There is no other way across.
Don't worry, PJ.
This time we're gonna
make your mama proud.
[music playing]
OK, gentlemen, stay alert.
Stay alert.
[music playing]
[inaudible]
Do it.
Ah.
[inaudible]
Uh.
[music playing]
Go, go, go.
[music playing]
Move, move, move, move move.
Uh.
[inaudible]
[music playing]
Get the hell out of here.
Move it.
Move it.
Move it.
[music playing]
Draw them to the other side.
- You got it.
- I'm going up.
Cover me.
[music playing]
No.
Don't shoot.
Uh.
Ah.
Let's get out of here.
Uh.
Uh.
Ah.
Bastards.
This is your time now.
Touchdown.
Ah.
Uh.
Shit.
Uh.
Bastard.
Bastards.
Uh.
Ah.
Uh.
Tannen?
Tannen?
[music playing]
Come on, PJ.
Come on, PJ.
Come on, buddy.
Hold on.
Hold on.
Tannen?
Still a fucking hero.
Flush them.
Jesus Christ, we're
being sucked under.
Come on, big guy.
That's-- that's too far.
Come on, bud.
You're gonna make it.
You're gonna make it.
Come on, bud.
No.
Pull hard.
Uh.
God damn it.
Come on.
Uh.
Uh.
[music playing]
Hold on.
Come on, PJ.
I can't.
I'm going under.
I'm going under.
[music playing]
All right.
Move out.
Move out.
Got a schedule to keep.
Uh.
No.
Ah.
[inaudible]
Hold on.
Ah.
Ah.
[inaudible] Hold on.
Hold on.
[music playing]
You're the last person in
whose arms I want to die.
Man, just hold on.
OK, man, just hold on.
Five more minutes.
Maybe I should
have sold hot dogs
at Wrigley like my old man.
Come on.
The medic is coming.
It's on the way.
All I ever wanted to do
was make my mama proud.
And you're going to.
You're going to.
Just hold on.
PJ?
PJ?
PJ: Uh.
Uh.
[music playing]
When a career
soldier dies in war,
everyone remembers the hero.
What people don't realize
is the war doesn't
stop, nor do the heroes.
They were more
than just soldiers.
God dammit.
Why didn't you call in?
Kraft knew.
It was like somebody
handed him the flight plan.
Impossible.
The only people who knew
where at ops command.
I handpicked my team myself.
Now you tell me,
how come every time
we go after the UPM,
Kraft's one step ahead?
You have a security breach.
I have a soldier whose
career is on the line.
If that's what it
takes to find the truth--
You disobeyed a direct order.
Orders?
Whose orders?
Yours?
Lansdale's?
The president's?
I don't even know
where the orders
are coming from any more.
You weren't there.
Damn it, son.
Lansdale is looking
for a scapegoat.
They're calling for
a court martial.
Technically, I've got
to go along with that.
Then the hell with it.
This isn't about we the
people, this is about politics.
Don't you see it?
Greed, corruption.
Guys in $2000 suits.
Not like you and me.
I mean, patriotism my ass, huh?
I've given my whole
life to the military.
And frankly, I don't know
if I need it anymore.
Now you sound like Kraft.
We were in the
academy together,
same special forces unit too.
Go on home, soldier.
You're on suspension.
Walk away.
That's an order.
No one walks.
[music playing]
What do you want?
DR. JESSICA EVANS:
What do you mean?
Why the hell have
you been following me?
I wanted to make
sure you were clean.
Someone said you could help me.
Who?
Look lady, I got better
things to do than play clue.
Why don't you just find
somebody who gives a damn.
Ops command, general Edwards.
He worked with my
father years ago.
And they were both stationed
near the eastern block.
And who are you?
I'm an electronics engineer
for defense contractor.
You got to be kidding me.
MIT.
Valedictorian.
Don't push it.
What's your name?
Dr. Jessica Evans.
Dr. Evans is my father.
Well Dr. Jessica Evans, I'm
sorry that I can't help you.
We were finishing up an
assignment in the Caribbean
when he got called
by the Pentagon
to return for a briefing.
It's not like him not to call.
I told you Evans,
I can't help you.
What about the fact
that we were involved
in developing a prototype
that could override
any silo's launch command?
I'm sure the military
can protect its own bases.
Not 218.
It exists.
I was there.
It's not on the map by
order of the president.
218 was built as a last defense.
That's what makes it so
vulnerable right now.
God damn it.
Will You listen to me?
If the overrides used
to access an ICBM,
an enemy can launch a
warhead on any US target
before our government knew
what or who the hell hit it.
Tannen's with her.
Look, I don't know
what Edwards told you.
But right now, I'm the
last person in the world
that could help you out.
Edwards told me that you were
the only person I could trust.
Get the girl.
It was before I resigned.
Look, if you need help, why
don't you go find Edwards?
OK?
You know what, forget it.
Never mind.
It's forgotten
[music playing]
Only one is the
overrides, Dr. Evans.
Jessica, watch out.
Uh.
[music playing]
Jessica, go get Edwards.
[music playing]
HOCKEY PLAYER: Back away.
Come on.
Gather around.
Hey.
Get off me.
What the heck?
Hey.
Get off me.
Let go of me.
Come on.
Uh.
Ah.
Hey, hey.
Get off.
Come on man.
Let go.
Let go.
[inaudible]
Shit.
Uh.
Come on.
Let go.
Ah.
Let go of me.
Help me.
Get off me.
Get off.
Help me.
Ah.
Uh.
Dr. Evans, control 24.
Engineering--
[music playing]
Gate secured, General Kraft.
Welcome to silo 218.
Load up.
Sorry, Lieutenant.
I have strict orders
not to let you in.
Let's get him up on
the board right now.
General, 218.
You know what I'm talking about.
Now let me in.
You heard me.
Now let me in.
That was totally unnecessary.
I have the authority.
I don't have
time for authority.
General, I think
you better see this.
Shit.
Let Tannen in.
Bring him to my office.
That's an order.
Come on.
Let's get ready.
Get ready.
Break a leg.
All secured on top, General.
Excellent, Karl.
Station the new patriot guard.
MAN: Move out.
Who am I gonna cover?
Right.
Move out.
Let's go.
Let's go.
The [inaudible],, I
want to place on standby.
Director's on his way up.
They're patching a
call for him now.
Listen.
[inaudible] is one.
Access [inaudible] 218.
Gentlemen--
General, buy the book people.
[music playing]
We're in.
[music playing]
MAN: We are on the
audio channel two.
System clear.
Alpha, Bravo,
Victor, Paul, 471.
Alpha, Bravo,
Victor, Paul, 471.
Priority code's accepted.
Accessing.
Give me capabilities.
That line is clear.
MAN: Yes, sir.
We get that call yet?
WOMAN: Patching
through now, sir.
Son of a bitch.
Access 218, General.
[music playing]
Clear the second control room.
[music playing]
We meet again.
Looks like our boy
found our Achilles heel.
OK.
Let's get it over with.
Listen, this is General Edwards.
MAN [ON PHONE]: Go ahead 218.
General, long time.
I'll tell you, this is
not a social call, Major.
Straight to business.
Its General now.
Did you know I'm about to--
Not in my army you're not.
What can I do for you?
It's very simple you
pompous piece of shit.
The UPM demand the
resignation of the President
of the United States.
This guy's got to be kidding.
The people have grown tired
of the Federal Government,
of its plundering
American resources.
Up until 100 years
ago, no American
ever paid federal taxes.
And now our government is
in debt for $4 trillion.
All of our hard
working capital
wasted on building up third
world countries on the backbone
of America's suffering.
Our Government vows itself
to foreign interests.
People we conquered
in previous wars
now hold the purse
strings to our future.
I'm not wrong.
Think about it.
The criminals and the
corrupt run this country
from the courtrooms
to the White House.
[music playing]
MAN: We authorize
flybys every half hour.
DR. JESSICA EVANS: Got it.
Satellite feed island of
the Caribbean, 40 miles east
of Haiti.
Yeah, priority confirmation.
Classified site, 218, two
silos, single warhead.
Type?
Nuclear tipped.
That's why there are
so many of us fed up
in every corner of our society.
People who believe it's
time to take back America,
because it's the only
way to stop the lies.
Give me liberty
or give me death.
People who just want
America to be American.
After the president resigns
on national television
before the American
people, I want
$1 billion deposited in an
international Swiss bank
account.
You have 12 hours, or I
unleash the unthinkable,
one thermonuclear ICBM.
You're bluffing.
I don't bluff, Director.
You have 30 minutes to
evacuate US federal property
before I send in the marines to
wipe the remains off the walls
you've buried yourselves in.
[dial tone]
Damn.
Fire missile one.
[music playing]
Fire it.
[music playing]
General, SEC reports
slow incoming missile.
[beeping]
Oh my god.
He's launching.
Destination?
[music playing]
Code is accepted.
[music playing]
[beeping]
Son of a bitch is going
for one of our test sites.
What the hell's he done?
The unthinkable.
[music playing]
[beeping]
That son of a bitch.
Edwards.
Dad.
You gave him the codes.
Oh, I can smell
a military craft
within 20 miles of this place.
I launch the next missile
on Washington immediately.
[music playing]
So I suggest you take the
alternative 12 hours then.
Clock is run, run,
run, run, run, running.
[music playing]
Oh my god.
They're gonna kill him.
[music playing]
I'll arranged for the money.
The son of a bitch is
blackmailing the US government.
Right, Wilson?
Joyce?
How much value do
you put on the lives
of the Capitol, people?
That's exactly what
he wants you to think.
You give him the
money, can it guarantee
he won't fire a second missile?
Director, the president's
waiting to see you.
I'm on my way.
General, I think I know
politics a little bit
better than you do.
Kraft will take the deal.
He's in it for the money.
And you don't do a damn
thing until I return.
Is that understood, General?
Is that understood, General?
Loud and clear, sir.
Good.
Pompous little shit.
God.
I'm assembling a
team and I'm going in.
And I'm taking her with me.
DR. JESSICA EVANS: What?
They're hardly
going anywhere, son.
You do know the ramifications
if he launches another warhead?
Wait a minute.
No, you wait a minute.
You've got the overrides.
And they've got your father.
He could still be alive.
Jessica, out.
Jack, I cannot endorse this.
You're still under
suspension damn it.
I'm going in with or
without your approval.
Watch your ass, soldier.
[music playing]
You may have jeopardized the
entire future of our country.
I'm prepared to face
the charges, Lansdale.
Charges?
[laughter]
Mister, you just made the
biggest political blunder
of your career.
Wilson, patch me through to 218.
What are you doing?
Wilson?
Sir?
218, sir.
Patching through line six.
General Kraft,
this is Director
of Special Ops Thomas Lansdale.
We have reason to
believe that there's
a small strike
force that's taking
matters into their own hands.
They should be on
their way to you now.
Are you out of your mind?
You just compromised
my operatives, Wilson.
So Tom, the old fart
went behind your back
and sent in a team.
What did you expect?
I have word from the
president that he's
placing a sum of $25 million
into your Swiss account
at this very moment.
He also guarantees you
and your men safe passage
if you abandon the silo.
Safe passage?
Sounds more like
trying to buy me out.
Well I hope you'll come
to your senses, General,
and find these terms amenable.
Think I'm a fucking
idiot, Lansdale?
You moronic political jackass.
It's over, Kraft.
Take the offer.
It's more than anyone
expected to get.
I'm not one of your
constituents, Tom.
You underestimate the power
and the goals of the UPM.
But right now, I got to run.
I got to get the place ready
for some unexpected guests.
I'll get back to you.
[dial tone]
Kraft.
[music playing]
He'll call back.
Karl?
KARL: Standing by, General.
When my guests arrive, you
cook them for the main entree.
[music playing]
Ah.
Oh, no.
Uh.
We have one scout down.
Dr. Evans, you might need this.
All right, deploy!
[music playing]
Lady, give me the grenade.
I've got to take them out.
Get your grenade, baby.
Lieutenant, good luck.
Ready grenade, baby?
Yeah.
[music playing]
Karl, come in.
Karl?
Shit.
Ah.
Uh.
[music playing]
Come on, lady.
Move it.
[music playing]
MAN: They knew we were coming.
They did.
There's nothing we
can do about it now.
We got a long way to move.
Let's go.
MAN: Cut off communication
with ops command.
Why in the fuck
didn't you finish them?
Yo.
What's up doc?
So what do we do now?
Surrender or retire?
We launch the second missile.
Good answer.
Seen Lansdale?
No, sir.
Anything coming in?
Nope.
Nothing.
Why is nothing
happening, Eddy?
You tell me, sir.
Go tap all calls to 218,
incoming and outgoing,
all bands including cellular.
OK?
It'll take some time, sir.
Do it, son.
[music playing]
[inaudible]
Ready?
Go.
Go.
Go.
Ah.
Uh.
MAN: Move it.
Move it.
Move it.
We can get to the
control room from here.
You got about
two seconds, lady.
Come on.
Move it.
Damn it.
- How's that?
Did you really
think that you'd
become Secretary of Defense?
LANSDALE [ON PHONE]:
I'm being nominated
when this is over, Kraft.
But don't worry, I am
going to take care of you.
You can start a whole
new organization
in Mexico, or the Honduras,
Belize, or wherever you want.
Who cares?
It's all been arranged.
Believe me.
You and I are going
to make millions.
We?
Bullshit.
This isn't about money.
I am the one risking
everything for this cause.
Cause?
There is no cause you egomaniac.
We have a deal, Kraft.
If you do anything, I swear
to God I'll kill you myself.
[music playing]
Uh.
JOYCE: General, incoming.
Your boy is so
predictable, like his mentor.
No less predictable
than you, Kraft.
So where is Lansdale now, huh?
Oh, he's probably on
his way to Switzerland
by now, as arranged.
[yodeling] Well I guess
this is goodbye, General.
I have my principles,
you son of a bitch.
Why won't you listen to me?
In 30 minutes,
Washington will be--
will be a memory unless
my demands are met.
I hope ground zero is
all it's made out to be.
You heard him
kids, 30 minutes, go.
Joyce, get me the president.
- Yes, sir.
Colonel, at command.
Yes, Mike, standing by.
--in the Caribbean.
Come on, soldier.
Which way?
[music playing]
[beeping]
Get her to the elevator now.
[music playing]
Shit.
[music playing]
Shit.
Ah.
Ah uh.
Ah.
Uh.
Uh.
Uh.
Ah.
Uh.
Ah.
- Uh.
- Uh.
Uh.
Uh.
Uh.
Ah uh.
Uh.
Uh.
Uh.
Uh.
[music playing]
Uh.
Ah.
Get to the control room.
I'll cover you.
Go.
Go.
[music playing]
Ah.
Ah.
Uh.
Ah.
Uh.
Uh.
Uh.
Uh.
Uh.
Uh.
Uh.
Uh.
Uh.
[music playing]
Uh.
[music playing]
Come on.
Come on.
Shit.
Yes.
- Uh.
- Where is she?
She's up in the control room.
Meet us at the
second level exit.
- I'm going with you.
- No, you're not.
You're not good on that leg.
That's an order, soldier.
[music playing]
Come on.
Dad, no.
That's-- that's impossible.
Nobody knows the code but--
Is there a problem, doctor?
Oh, no, no, no, not at all.
Dad.
What are you doing?
Uh.
Ah.
Ah.
Ah.
Uh.
No.
Come on, Jessica.
Come on.
Come on.
That's it.
Yes.
[music playing]
Ah.
Uh.
Oh.
Damn it.
Uh.
Uh ah.
Jessica?
Dad?
They were supposed to kill
you and bring me that machine.
It's getting so you can't
trust anyone these days.
Ah.
Sort her out.
Are you OK?
Oh, Jessica.
Everything's all right.
In seven minutes,
it'll all be over.
And we have won.
What?
Don't give them an
excuse to kill you, please.
You have to trust me.
Dad?
Don't do this.
You don't know
what you're saying.
I know exactly
what I'm saying.
Over the years, I've
watched this great land lose
it's discipline,
where children have
no respect for their parents.
Our cities are filled
with the colors of hate.
Locks on our doors and
bars on our windows,
we've become prisoners
in our own land.
Don't you see?
I'm doing what is
right for America.
For America?
Launching an ICBM
on your own country?
It's the only way to stop
the cancer of our sick society.
Stalin, Hitler, they
had the same solution.
No.
This stops now.
No.
She changed this nation.
You have to override
it from your--
uh.
[music playing]
Sorry, Jessica.
Dad?
No.
Dad?
No.
Dad?
[music playing]
Hey, Kraft.
Hey, buddy.
It shouldn't have
to end this way.
The system can change,
but not your way.
Always the optimist.
Of all the men I served with,
I thought you would understand.
That's exactly
why I'm not going
to let you get away with this.
- Why?
Because you're part
of the cancer too?
No.
Because I'm willing
to find the answer
not by pulling the
trigger, because that's
a coward's way out.
Then we go together.
Come on.
Make your mama proud.
Uh.
Uh.
Uh.
Uh.
WOMAN: [inaudible] 10
minutes and counting.
Shit.
I gotta do something.
They've activated the
self-destruct codes.
Even if they
neutralize the warhead,
the missile fuel will super
heat and level the silo minutes
after the final countdown.
Uh.
[inaudible] We've got to
get Tannen out of there now.
Come on.
North, the silo,
Tannen's inside.
Uh.
Uh.
Uh.
Come on.
Come on.
[music playing]
Uh.
Uh.
Ah.
Uh.
Uh.
- Uh.
Uh.
Go.
Secure it.
Hurry.
Get the rope.
Hurry.
[music playing]
Ah.

WOMAN: Conditions closing.
Tannen, the rope.
Uh.

Uh.
Fish on the hook.
Line secure.
Bring him up.
Come on, guys, pull.
Uh.
Uh.
Uh.
Uh.
Hang in there, Tannen.
WOMAN: Sections closing.
Come on.
Pull.
WOMAN: Ten.
T minus nine, T minus
eight, T minus seven.
- Ah.
- Let's go.
Get the hell out of here.
This thing's gonna blow.
Move it.
Come on, Jessica.
Get out of here.
WOMAN: Four, two, one.
[music playing]
So what are you all
standing around for?
Let's bring our team home.
[cheering]
[music playing]
That son of a bitch.
Uh.
[music playing]
We're still on suspension.
I figured as much.
I think I'll take my wife
to Hawaii, 30th anniversary.
That'll be nice.
For you.
What's this?
Virgin Islands.
Debrief Jessica.
She's going to need
a lot of debriefing.
Oh, Wilson's been bumped
upstairs to joint affairs.
I'm now her boss as well.
You mess with her,
you answer to me.
All right, soldier?
Wouldn't have
it any other way.
[music playing]
Hey boss?
Thanks.
[music playing]
NARRATOR: Long ago in
a letter from Germany,
DH Lawrence wrote, out of the
air comes a feeling of danger.
He saw a nation white
skinned, elemental, dangerous.
Prophetic words then.
If he saw the fires this time,
would he say, here we go again?
[drum]
Some extremist
groups were banned,
but members just
joined other groups.
And the young still shaved
their heads, a symbol of anger
and a violent promise.
[drum]
Nazi skinheads can now be
found in most American cities.
The best guess is they
number only about 3,000,
but that's 10 times more than
there were two years ago.
Klan membership in
the South is growing
and becoming more extreme.
At least 350 people marched
in Raleigh in January.
[drum]
The national
Anti-Klan Network says
Klan membership
in North Carolina
has increased 500% since 1979.
At least one Klan faction,
the Confederate Knights,
is set up along
paramilitary lines
and is believed to be tied to
other white supremacist groups.
[drum]
One week ago at
9:02 in the morning,
the lives of those in
Oklahoma City were shattered.
Many of our neighbors are now
dead, some of them children.
Of the dead, nine were
children under the age of two.
Police and paramedics
are continuing
to search for survivors.
We now cross to an earlier
broadcast from Senator
Brickman in Washington.
As chairman of
the subcommittee,
I think I speak for everyone
when I say how deeply outraged
we are at the recent bombings
of the Internal Revenue officers
across the states by Members of
the United Patriotic Movement.
Patriotic.
General-- what's his name?
Kraft, and the UPM are
nothing more than a bunch
of gutless cowards.
And I hope you're listening--
[phone ringing]
--because if I have my way--
Senator Brickman here.
--I'd bring you out of
business once and for all.
General who?
You can be damn sure
that my recommendation--
Who?
Hold on.
--to the president
and the joint Chiefs
are that we use every
available military
agency in this country.
I'm listening.
[music playing]
I heard that Senator Brickman
was thrown out of office.
Well done.
MAN: Maybe they'll pay more
attention to the United
Patriotic Movement.
The question is, how will
history record this event?
[music playing]
It's an act of terrorism or
like the Boston Tea Party,
as an act of freedom by
the New Patriots Fighting
for the new America.
As true Patriots, General.
[music playing]
BOB [ON RADIO]:
You're on the air.
WOMAN [ON RADIO]: Hi, Bob.
I don't know what we're
all so worked up about.
The UPM will just
disappear like the--
the Black Panthers, the SLA,
and all those militant fanatics
in the '60s and '70s.
BOB [ON RADIO]:
Well caller, I don't
know what makes you think that.
Wake up, people.
This is the '90s.
The UPM is not just
going to go away.
And we are talking
civil war here.
That's right.
You heard me, Civil war.
The UPM has repeatedly
attacked federal targets
across the continent
with a purpose.
The lines are drawn not by the
Mason-Dixen, but by economics.
OK, you're on the air.
MAN [ON RADIO]: Yeah.
Ditto on that Bob.
It is a war.
And I for one am sick
and tired of paying taxes
just to have them
give all our hard
earned money to help
foreigners raid our country.
You know?
BOB [ON RADIO]: Absolutely.
Now see people, here is a
caller with intelligence.
And where are we going?
Who owns our cities?
Get a grip, people.
You don't even have to be a
citizen to buy a $100 million
building in New York,
Chicago, or San Francisco.
That's right, folks, foreigners.
Foreigners.
They're buying up America
while working class middle
America pays all the taxes.
You're on the air.
MAN [ON RADIO]: Bob?
BOB [ON RADIO]: Yeah?
MAN [ON RADIO]: I think
aliens are behind it.
[laughter]
BOB [ON RADIO]: What?
The, the Mexicans?
MAN [ON RADIO]: No, no.
Aliens, you know?
From the neighboring galaxy?
BOB [ON RADIO]: Oh, Christ.
You know, it's
really hard, people.
This is exactly the kind of
caller that is why our country
is going down the crapper.
[music playing]
Good Morning, Director.
Morning.
Hey, Bob.
Check.
[interposing voices]
[interposing voices]
Knocking at the
door as we speak.
[inaudible]
WOMAN: Coming up, sir.
OK, let's go.
BOB [ON RADIO]: And we have
got to get back to reality
here, OK?
Where are all of our hard
earned tax dollars going?
Well if you're 30 years
old, all that money you give
each paycheck to social security
to support the unemployed, well
my friends by the
time you retire,
social security
will be bankrupt.
Wake up people.
Talk to me, Spotter.
Good morning, Lieutenant.
And how was breakfast?
OK.
Viper's Danny is 200 yards.
And I see five roaches
on the table top.
Otherwise, all is quiet,
and it's a beautiful day.
Craft, he was one of
your boys, wasn't he?
One of my best.
A solution that brought
Japan to its knees.
We will bring
Washington to their's.
- Sounds good.
- Got it.
MAN: What's wrong?
I never thought we'd be
tracking one of our own.
They may have a point.
But killing innocent
people isn't the answer.
Stay alert, PJ.
They may have been one
of us, but they wouldn't
hesitate blowing us away.
OK boys and girls,
make your mama proud.
[music playing]
Coming your way, Joyce.
CAROL: Sergeant Victoria Palmer.
AWOL, 9/28/95, Fort Bragg.
Dropped out of the Marines
to John Kraft and the United
Patriotic Movement.
Good-looking girl.
That's if you're into S&M.
Don't get too excited.
Prime suspect, Dallas Federal
bombing scene and [inaudible]
of Brickman's office.
Blast blew him out of
a third-story window.
Either that or one
hell of a sneeze.
Wilson, you're sick.
Carol, get that over
to National Security.
Make sure they know
it's hands-off.
CAROL: Yes.
[music playing]
WOMAN: Morning.
Morning, ma'am.
WOMAN: What can I do for you?
I got a delivery of dry
chemicals here for Mr. Tyrell.
Tyrell tell you
to bring this here?
No ma'am, my boss did.
I mean, I just do exactly
what I'm told, you know?
But if I could just get Mr.
Tyrell to sign on the bottom,
I'll be on my way.
And another.
Katie, hi.
Yeah, Tannen's not in
the office right now.
Hello?
We're trying to run a
country for gods sake.
CAROL: I'm sure he'll
call you tonight.
FBI Director, sir.
I'm sorry, Director.
He can't talk to you right now.
He'll call you as
soon as he can.
Well that's good
enough for me.
You men have the
authority to move.
I wouldn't wait for your
self-appointed general to show.
Director, we have
tracked Lieutenant
Kraft for over two years
across 25 different states.
She makes a strong point, Tom.
We've come this far.
Why did the fox step
out the barnyard?
All right, General.
You go for your fox.
But when Tannen gets back,
I want a full report.
I'll be at the White House.
A very good [inaudible]
on the president.
Tyrell's busy.
I'll sign for him.
- No, no, no.
My boss is going to have my ass.
You know what I mean?
I said I'll sign it.
[music playing]
Kraft's full of crap today.
You're telling me.
Lieutenant, more
than ammunition.
Ben suggests active
underground passage.
Leave your stuff by the
shed and be on your way.
I'll take care of that
right away, ma'am.
[music playing]
The fuck?
Uh.
Uh.
Uh.
Uh.
Drop it.
- Uh.
- Shit.
Uh.
Ah.
Oh, man.
Well, there blows breakfasts.
The roach is out of the kitchen.
Thank you, Lieutenant,
to lighting
my cooks high up in the air.
Well done.
Next time, hold the fries.
Talk to me, Spotter.
Talk to me.
I suppose I shall
have to entertain them.
[inaudible] and drop.
Copy that, Lieutenant.
Command enemy engaged, going
down is the locker rooms.
Do you copy?
They're sitting on a
goddamn hornet's nest.
Time to watch the camel hunt.
PJ, move it.
Uh.
Ah.
Uh.
Ah.
Ah.
Nice shot, Lieutenant.
Difficulty level 2.5.
Judge give you a ten.
Spotter, going in deep.
Assessment.
They're going deep.
It's got to be that
missing munitions shipment
from Pendleton last year.
Watch your ass
out there, Spotter.
Towers, we've got
a situation here.
Where general--
[interposing voices]
Get their asses in here.
[interposing voices]
Come on.
Move it.
Come on people.
Come on.
Jones, watch your back.
Roach at 9 o'clock.
[music playing]
Yes.
Garcia, cover my ass.
Don't touch her ass.
It's mine.
Pretty ass.
[music playing]
Come on.
PJ, move on.
Come on.
[music playing]
Take cover.
- Oh, this is going to be easy.
- You've got to be kidding.
Ah.
Ah.
[music playing]
Uh.
Uh.
Uh.
Ah.
Uh.
Uh.
- Ah.
- Jones?
Hey Jones?
Where the hell do you
think you're going?
Uh.
Uh.
This is no time
for recipe swapping.
Uh.
Uh.
SPOTTER: Don't hurt him.
You hurt him.
Now, that's nice.
Hey Jones, how come you
never do that to me?
I'll see you tonight.
[music playing]
Ah.
[inaudible]
Lee?
Lee, Allen?
I'm sorry.
I left the translation
book at home.
OK?
Hey Garcia, far out man.
There's a roach at 11 o'clock.
No Garcia, not digital,
it's a face cloth.
That means Mickey's right.
He's on the 11 and
left hand is on the 12.
[inaudible] Let's
take them out man.
Parks, do them a favor.
Take out the two roaches.
Shake your ass and move guys.
[music playing]
Ah.
Ah.
Ah.
Ah.
Thank you.
[music playing]
One, two, three.
Do it.
Tannen, mother load.
Underground mine 5 degrees
west back behind the barn.
We're sitting on an
ammunition dump here.
[music playing]
[inaudible],, this is the
spotter coming to you live.
The players are
leaving the ballpark.
Everything is safe.
We'll need IDs.
Clearance on the way.
ETA One hour.
And you can find
that, Spotter?
SPOTTER: [inaudible]
Confirmed.
MAN: No ops
casualties confirmed.
Out.
Tell Tannen no heroics.
Watch his ass.
[music playing]
Ah.
Uh.
Uh.
Ah.
Uh.
Uh.
Don't mention it.
It's rigged.
PJ move.
[inaudible]
Ah.
Oh, fuck.
Reducing signal.
Get a boost on that now.
What in the hell was that?
We've lost Tannen.
Spotter?
Come send me that booster now.
Talk to me, Spotter.
Could you hang on a second?
Please general.
Lieutenant Tannen?
PJ?
Do you copy?
Can you hear me?
Talk to me.
God damn it.
Could you hang on a
second please General, Sir.
Lieutenant Tannen,
PJ, talk to me.
Talk to me please, guys.
Don't leave us now.
Come on talk.
Talk.
Talk.
Spotter, tell the
old man we're OK.
Oh, thank god.
Touchdown.
OK, Plays, Lieutenant
Ted and PJ are OK.
Ops command this is Spotter.
The men are breathing.
Already won, Spotter.
Nice work people.
Uh.
Uh.
Uh.
Ah.
PJ?
Uh.
Uh.
Don't mention it.
I won't.
I got a bad feeling about this.
What the fuck is this place?
It's a whole new war.
MAN: You expect me to by that?
MAN: I can tell that
it's not impossible.
You can honestly sit there and
tell me that this UPM group can
walk into a top
security missile site
and launch a nuclear warhead
whenever they damn well please?
We are dealing with a highly
organized movement, director.
And they are dealing with
the United States military.
UPM is made up of
people who are, or were,
part of our armed forces.
Oh, yeah?
Well, I don't buy it.
Without proper
identification, no one
walks in, except somebody
like Kraft, who's already had
the highest security clearance.
Tom, I think you
ought to listen
to what Tannen has to say.
He's on a special
assignment to us.
Well I don't care who Kraft
is or what his clearance was.
These are restricted
military bases.
You give me a
three-man team, and I can
promise you I'll be
inside any secure
silo in less than two hours.
All we need to launch
the warhead are the codes.
A lot of Americans
are buying this crap
about America being sold out.
I mean, we just
don't know how deep
UPM propaganda is penetrated.
Some of it makes some sense.
If you're a bigot or an
out-of-work member of the KKK.
Gotta agree, Tom would be
more foolish to underestimate
UPM's capability.
So I guess I'm
the one that has
to go before the
Joint Chiefs and ask
for increased silo security.
I suggest we
change the security
codes on all the silos.
MAN: Dr. Evans would be right.
In the Caribbean
on assignment.
I'll put a
security team on it.
I don't like it.
This all seems like
overkill to me.
So is launching a warhead.
Call Evans in.
Now I know it goes
down on the president.
COPILOT [ON SPEAKER]: This
is your copilot speaking.
REGH Andrew's Air Force
Base is 2 hours 15 minutes.
Should be clear
sailing once we reach
altitude over the Caribbean.
Enjoy your flight.
Shift's over.
Go on.
Get out of here.
No.
I still got to break down UPN
locations for intelligence.
It should take a couple hours.
Try something
different for once.
Go on home.
Things are kind of
rocky at the home front.
I mean, the couch isn't quite
as comfortable as it used to be.
And not committing to this
marriage thing, well it's--
Military wives are a
special breed, god bless them.
You know, mine's as
cantankerous as I am.
Then I get 30 years, but I
wouldn't trade it for anyone.
Go on soldier.
Go home.
Gentlemen, we're
experiencing some turbulence as
well as an electrical failure.
Please extinguish
all cigarettes.
I'd put the oxygen
masks over your mouths.
Oh, boy.
SOLDIER: Got to be kidding.
[music playing]
Enjoy your flight.
[music playing]
They have less altitude here.
No mayday call.
Could be engine failure.
I doubt it.
Aircraft control
lost contact, General.
Last fix was
northeast of Haiti.
See you there, rescue.
They've got nothing.
What if it was a hijacking?
There was no
reason to suspect--
What the hell happened to
the security team I put out?
Cause that was
Dale's call, Jack.
You overrode my order?
That's enough, Lieutenant.
I thought security
was my department.
Hello?
Director?
Well, I'm sorry to
disturb your party.
We have lost the
package off Haiti.
Tannen's going in.
Who should I carry with
a Haitian attach , you?
Good.
Thank you, sir.
That will keep it going.
On with it, General.
Evans is my friend.
And If something happens,
if there's trouble,
you get your ass out of there.
You just make sure the locals
are friendly this time, OK?
[music playing]
I got a bad
feeling about this.
Well that's reassuring.
[music playing]
Lieutenant Tannen.
Go ahead.
Let them go, guys.
[music playing]
Copilot's dead.
No sign of the pilot.
Holy shit.
They've been poisoned.
No Doctor Evans.
Better take a look at this.
It's from Pendleton.
Hold it, PJ.
Jesus.
You just triggered
the motion detector.
You move that thing,
it's gonna blow.
Tannen, this is my
field of expertise.
Now don't pull it.
Don't yank it.
Just cut the red wire.
You got it.
Move back.
You heard him.
Let's move.
[music playing]
Tannen, I said the red wire.
Son of a bitch, Kraft.
Tannen, you're a lunatic.
Don't mention it.
You knew we'd find
that cylinder.
We got truck marks,
sir, half a dozen troops.
There it goes.
[inaudible], [inaudible] sir.
One pair, noncombat.
You also knew
we'd have to contact
ops command before proceeding.
So fuck him.
If we move, we have
no position backup.
We got to find Evans
before he gets the codes.
How far ahead?
Engine's to the wall.
Half, half, 45 minutes ahead.
Tannen, we need authorization.
They know our objective.
Gentlemen, I'm making
a field decision here.
We're going in.
PJ, go with me on this one.
[music playing]
We need your jeeps.
It's been paid for.
[music playing]
I got a bad
feeling about this.
There is no other way across.
Don't worry, PJ.
This time we're gonna
make your mama proud.
[music playing]
OK, gentlemen, stay alert.
Stay alert.
[music playing]
[inaudible]
Do it.
Ah.
[inaudible]
Uh.
[music playing]
Go, go, go.
[music playing]
Move, move, move, move move.
Uh.
[inaudible]
[music playing]
Get the hell out of here.
Move it.
Move it.
Move it.
[music playing]
Draw them to the other side.
- You got it.
- I'm going up.
Cover me.
[music playing]
No.
Don't shoot.
Uh.
Ah.
Let's get out of here.
Uh.
Uh.
Ah.
Bastards.
This is your time now.
Touchdown.
Ah.
Uh.
Shit.
Uh.
Bastard.
Bastards.
Uh.
Ah.
Uh.
Tannen?
Tannen?
[music playing]
Come on, PJ.
Come on, PJ.
Come on, buddy.
Hold on.
Hold on.
Tannen?
Still a fucking hero.
Flush them.
Jesus Christ, we're
being sucked under.
Come on, big guy.
That's-- that's too far.
Come on, bud.
You're gonna make it.
You're gonna make it.
Come on, bud.
No.
Pull hard.
Uh.
God damn it.
Come on.
Uh.
Uh.
[music playing]
Hold on.
Come on, PJ.
I can't.
I'm going under.
I'm going under.
[music playing]
All right.
Move out.
Move out.
Got a schedule to keep.
Uh.
No.
Ah.
[inaudible]
Hold on.
Ah.
Ah.
[inaudible] Hold on.
Hold on.
[music playing]
You're the last person in
whose arms I want to die.
Man, just hold on.
OK, man, just hold on.
Five more minutes.
Maybe I should
have sold hot dogs
at Wrigley like my old man.
Come on.
The medic is coming.
It's on the way.
All I ever wanted to do
was make my mama proud.
And you're going to.
You're going to.
Just hold on.
PJ?
PJ?
PJ: Uh.
Uh.
[music playing]
When a career
soldier dies in war,
everyone remembers the hero.
What people don't realize
is the war doesn't
stop, nor do the heroes.
They were more
than just soldiers.
God dammit.
Why didn't you call in?
Kraft knew.
It was like somebody
handed him the flight plan.
Impossible.
The only people who knew
where at ops command.
I handpicked my team myself.
Now you tell me,
how come every time
we go after the UPM,
Kraft's one step ahead?
You have a security breach.
I have a soldier whose
career is on the line.
If that's what it
takes to find the truth--
You disobeyed a direct order.
Orders?
Whose orders?
Yours?
Lansdale's?
The president's?
I don't even know
where the orders
are coming from any more.
You weren't there.
Damn it, son.
Lansdale is looking
for a scapegoat.
They're calling for
a court martial.
Technically, I've got
to go along with that.
Then the hell with it.
This isn't about we the
people, this is about politics.
Don't you see it?
Greed, corruption.
Guys in $2000 suits.
Not like you and me.
I mean, patriotism my ass, huh?
I've given my whole
life to the military.
And frankly, I don't know
if I need it anymore.
Now you sound like Kraft.
We were in the
academy together,
same special forces unit too.
Go on home, soldier.
You're on suspension.
Walk away.
That's an order.
No one walks.
[music playing]
What do you want?
DR. JESSICA EVANS:
What do you mean?
Why the hell have
you been following me?
I wanted to make
sure you were clean.
Someone said you could help me.
Who?
Look lady, I got better
things to do than play clue.
Why don't you just find
somebody who gives a damn.
Ops command, general Edwards.
He worked with my
father years ago.
And they were both stationed
near the eastern block.
And who are you?
I'm an electronics engineer
for defense contractor.
You got to be kidding me.
MIT.
Valedictorian.
Don't push it.
What's your name?
Dr. Jessica Evans.
Dr. Evans is my father.
Well Dr. Jessica Evans, I'm
sorry that I can't help you.
We were finishing up an
assignment in the Caribbean
when he got called
by the Pentagon
to return for a briefing.
It's not like him not to call.
I told you Evans,
I can't help you.
What about the fact
that we were involved
in developing a prototype
that could override
any silo's launch command?
I'm sure the military
can protect its own bases.
Not 218.
It exists.
I was there.
It's not on the map by
order of the president.
218 was built as a last defense.
That's what makes it so
vulnerable right now.
God damn it.
Will You listen to me?
If the overrides used
to access an ICBM,
an enemy can launch a
warhead on any US target
before our government knew
what or who the hell hit it.
Tannen's with her.
Look, I don't know
what Edwards told you.
But right now, I'm the
last person in the world
that could help you out.
Edwards told me that you were
the only person I could trust.
Get the girl.
It was before I resigned.
Look, if you need help, why
don't you go find Edwards?
OK?
You know what, forget it.
Never mind.
It's forgotten
[music playing]
Only one is the
overrides, Dr. Evans.
Jessica, watch out.
Uh.
[music playing]
Jessica, go get Edwards.
[music playing]
HOCKEY PLAYER: Back away.
Come on.
Gather around.
Hey.
Get off me.
What the heck?
Hey.
Get off me.
Let go of me.
Come on.
Uh.
Ah.
Hey, hey.
Get off.
Come on man.
Let go.
Let go.
[inaudible]
Shit.
Uh.
Come on.
Let go.
Ah.
Let go of me.
Help me.
Get off me.
Get off.
Help me.
Ah.
Uh.
Dr. Evans, control 24.
Engineering--
[music playing]
Gate secured, General Kraft.
Welcome to silo 218.
Load up.
Sorry, Lieutenant.
I have strict orders
not to let you in.
Let's get him up on
the board right now.
General, 218.
You know what I'm talking about.
Now let me in.
You heard me.
Now let me in.
That was totally unnecessary.
I have the authority.
I don't have
time for authority.
General, I think
you better see this.
Shit.
Let Tannen in.
Bring him to my office.
That's an order.
Come on.
Let's get ready.
Get ready.
Break a leg.
All secured on top, General.
Excellent, Karl.
Station the new patriot guard.
MAN: Move out.
Who am I gonna cover?
Right.
Move out.
Let's go.
Let's go.
The [inaudible],, I
want to place on standby.
Director's on his way up.
They're patching a
call for him now.
Listen.
[inaudible] is one.
Access [inaudible] 218.
Gentlemen--
General, buy the book people.
[music playing]
We're in.
[music playing]
MAN: We are on the
audio channel two.
System clear.
Alpha, Bravo,
Victor, Paul, 471.
Alpha, Bravo,
Victor, Paul, 471.
Priority code's accepted.
Accessing.
Give me capabilities.
That line is clear.
MAN: Yes, sir.
We get that call yet?
WOMAN: Patching
through now, sir.
Son of a bitch.
Access 218, General.
[music playing]
Clear the second control room.
[music playing]
We meet again.
Looks like our boy
found our Achilles heel.
OK.
Let's get it over with.
Listen, this is General Edwards.
MAN [ON PHONE]: Go ahead 218.
General, long time.
I'll tell you, this is
not a social call, Major.
Straight to business.
Its General now.
Did you know I'm about to--
Not in my army you're not.
What can I do for you?
It's very simple you
pompous piece of shit.
The UPM demand the
resignation of the President
of the United States.
This guy's got to be kidding.
The people have grown tired
of the Federal Government,
of its plundering
American resources.
Up until 100 years
ago, no American
ever paid federal taxes.
And now our government is
in debt for $4 trillion.
All of our hard
working capital
wasted on building up third
world countries on the backbone
of America's suffering.
Our Government vows itself
to foreign interests.
People we conquered
in previous wars
now hold the purse
strings to our future.
I'm not wrong.
Think about it.
The criminals and the
corrupt run this country
from the courtrooms
to the White House.
[music playing]
MAN: We authorize
flybys every half hour.
DR. JESSICA EVANS: Got it.
Satellite feed island of
the Caribbean, 40 miles east
of Haiti.
Yeah, priority confirmation.
Classified site, 218, two
silos, single warhead.
Type?
Nuclear tipped.
That's why there are
so many of us fed up
in every corner of our society.
People who believe it's
time to take back America,
because it's the only
way to stop the lies.
Give me liberty
or give me death.
People who just want
America to be American.
After the president resigns
on national television
before the American
people, I want
$1 billion deposited in an
international Swiss bank
account.
You have 12 hours, or I
unleash the unthinkable,
one thermonuclear ICBM.
You're bluffing.
I don't bluff, Director.
You have 30 minutes to
evacuate US federal property
before I send in the marines to
wipe the remains off the walls
you've buried yourselves in.
[dial tone]
Damn.
Fire missile one.
[music playing]
Fire it.
[music playing]
General, SEC reports
slow incoming missile.
[beeping]
Oh my god.
He's launching.
Destination?
[music playing]
Code is accepted.
[music playing]
[beeping]
Son of a bitch is going
for one of our test sites.
What the hell's he done?
The unthinkable.
[music playing]
[beeping]
That son of a bitch.
Edwards.
Dad.
You gave him the codes.
Oh, I can smell
a military craft
within 20 miles of this place.
I launch the next missile
on Washington immediately.
[music playing]
So I suggest you take the
alternative 12 hours then.
Clock is run, run,
run, run, run, running.
[music playing]
Oh my god.
They're gonna kill him.
[music playing]
I'll arranged for the money.
The son of a bitch is
blackmailing the US government.
Right, Wilson?
Joyce?
How much value do
you put on the lives
of the Capitol, people?
That's exactly what
he wants you to think.
You give him the
money, can it guarantee
he won't fire a second missile?
Director, the president's
waiting to see you.
I'm on my way.
General, I think I know
politics a little bit
better than you do.
Kraft will take the deal.
He's in it for the money.
And you don't do a damn
thing until I return.
Is that understood, General?
Is that understood, General?
Loud and clear, sir.
Good.
Pompous little shit.
God.
I'm assembling a
team and I'm going in.
And I'm taking her with me.
DR. JESSICA EVANS: What?
They're hardly
going anywhere, son.
You do know the ramifications
if he launches another warhead?
Wait a minute.
No, you wait a minute.
You've got the overrides.
And they've got your father.
He could still be alive.
Jessica, out.
Jack, I cannot endorse this.
You're still under
suspension damn it.
I'm going in with or
without your approval.
Watch your ass, soldier.
[music playing]
You may have jeopardized the
entire future of our country.
I'm prepared to face
the charges, Lansdale.
Charges?
[laughter]
Mister, you just made the
biggest political blunder
of your career.
Wilson, patch me through to 218.
What are you doing?
Wilson?
Sir?
218, sir.
Patching through line six.
General Kraft,
this is Director
of Special Ops Thomas Lansdale.
We have reason to
believe that there's
a small strike
force that's taking
matters into their own hands.
They should be on
their way to you now.
Are you out of your mind?
You just compromised
my operatives, Wilson.
So Tom, the old fart
went behind your back
and sent in a team.
What did you expect?
I have word from the
president that he's
placing a sum of $25 million
into your Swiss account
at this very moment.
He also guarantees you
and your men safe passage
if you abandon the silo.
Safe passage?
Sounds more like
trying to buy me out.
Well I hope you'll come
to your senses, General,
and find these terms amenable.
Think I'm a fucking
idiot, Lansdale?
You moronic political jackass.
It's over, Kraft.
Take the offer.
It's more than anyone
expected to get.
I'm not one of your
constituents, Tom.
You underestimate the power
and the goals of the UPM.
But right now, I got to run.
I got to get the place ready
for some unexpected guests.
I'll get back to you.
[dial tone]
Kraft.
[music playing]
He'll call back.
Karl?
KARL: Standing by, General.
When my guests arrive, you
cook them for the main entree.
[music playing]
Ah.
Oh, no.
Uh.
We have one scout down.
Dr. Evans, you might need this.
All right, deploy!
[music playing]
Lady, give me the grenade.
I've got to take them out.
Get your grenade, baby.
Lieutenant, good luck.
Ready grenade, baby?
Yeah.
[music playing]
Karl, come in.
Karl?
Shit.
Ah.
Uh.
[music playing]
Come on, lady.
Move it.
[music playing]
MAN: They knew we were coming.
They did.
There's nothing we
can do about it now.
We got a long way to move.
Let's go.
MAN: Cut off communication
with ops command.
Why in the fuck
didn't you finish them?
Yo.
What's up doc?
So what do we do now?
Surrender or retire?
We launch the second missile.
Good answer.
Seen Lansdale?
No, sir.
Anything coming in?
Nope.
Nothing.
Why is nothing
happening, Eddy?
You tell me, sir.
Go tap all calls to 218,
incoming and outgoing,
all bands including cellular.
OK?
It'll take some time, sir.
Do it, son.
[music playing]
[inaudible]
Ready?
Go.
Go.
Go.
Ah.
Uh.
MAN: Move it.
Move it.
Move it.
We can get to the
control room from here.
You got about
two seconds, lady.
Come on.
Move it.
Damn it.
- How's that?
Did you really
think that you'd
become Secretary of Defense?
LANSDALE [ON PHONE]:
I'm being nominated
when this is over, Kraft.
But don't worry, I am
going to take care of you.
You can start a whole
new organization
in Mexico, or the Honduras,
Belize, or wherever you want.
Who cares?
It's all been arranged.
Believe me.
You and I are going
to make millions.
We?
Bullshit.
This isn't about money.
I am the one risking
everything for this cause.
Cause?
There is no cause you egomaniac.
We have a deal, Kraft.
If you do anything, I swear
to God I'll kill you myself.
[music playing]
Uh.
JOYCE: General, incoming.
Your boy is so
predictable, like his mentor.
No less predictable
than you, Kraft.
So where is Lansdale now, huh?
Oh, he's probably on
his way to Switzerland
by now, as arranged.
[yodeling] Well I guess
this is goodbye, General.
I have my principles,
you son of a bitch.
Why won't you listen to me?
In 30 minutes,
Washington will be--
will be a memory unless
my demands are met.
I hope ground zero is
all it's made out to be.
You heard him
kids, 30 minutes, go.
Joyce, get me the president.
- Yes, sir.
Colonel, at command.
Yes, Mike, standing by.
--in the Caribbean.
Come on, soldier.
Which way?
[music playing]
[beeping]
Get her to the elevator now.
[music playing]
Shit.
[music playing]
Shit.
Ah.
Ah uh.

Get to the control room.
I'll cover you.

Come on.
Come on.
Shit.
Yes.
- Uh.
- Where is she?
She's up in the control room.
Meet us at the
second level exit.
- I'm going with you.
- No, you're not.
You're not good on that leg.
That's an order, soldier.
[music playing]
Come on.
Dad, no.
That's-- that's impossible.
Nobody knows the code but--
Is there a problem, doctor?
Oh, no, no, no, not at all.
Dad.
What are you doing?
Uh.
Ah.
Ah.
Ah.
Uh.
No.
Come on, Jessica.
Come on.
Come on.
That's it.
Yes.
[music playing]
Ah.
Uh.
Oh.
Damn it.
Uh.
Uh ah.
Jessica?
Dad?
They were supposed to kill
you and bring me that machine.
It's getting so you can't
trust anyone these days.
Ah.
Sort her out.
Are you OK?
Oh, Jessica.
Everything's all right.
In seven minutes,
it'll all be over.
And we have won.
What?
Don't give them an
excuse to kill you, please.
You have to trust me.
Dad?
Don't do this.
You don't know
what you're saying.
I know exactly
what I'm saying.
Over the years, I've
watched this great land lose
it's discipline,
where children have
no respect for their parents.
Our cities are filled
with the colors of hate.
Locks on our doors and
bars on our windows,
we've become prisoners
in our own land.
Don't you see?
I'm doing what is
right for America.
For America?
Launching an ICBM
on your own country?
It's the only way to stop
the cancer of our sick society.
Stalin, Hitler, they
had the same solution.
No.
This stops now.
No.
She changed this nation.
You have to override
it from your--
uh.
[music playing]
Sorry, Jessica.
Dad?
No.
Dad?
No.
Dad?
[music playing]
Hey, Kraft.
Hey, buddy.
It shouldn't have
to end this way.
The system can change,
but not your way.
Always the optimist.
Of all the men I served with,
I thought you would understand.
That's exactly
why I'm not going
to let you get away with this.
- Why?
Because you're part
of the cancer too?
No.
Because I'm willing
to find the answer
not by pulling the
trigger, because that's
a coward's way out.
Then we go together.
Come on.
Make your mama proud.
Uh.
Uh.
Uh.
Uh.
WOMAN: [inaudible] 10
minutes and counting.
Shit.
I gotta do something.
They've activated the
self-destruct codes.
Even if they
neutralize the warhead,
the missile fuel will super
heat and level the silo minutes
after the final countdown.
Uh.
[inaudible] We've got to
get Tannen out of there now.
Come on.
North, the silo,
Tannen's inside.
Uh.

Come on.
Come on.

Hang in there, Tannen.
WOMAN: Sections closing.
Come on.
Pull.
WOMAN: Ten.
T minus nine, T minus
eight, T minus seven.
- Ah.
- Let's go.
Get the hell out of here.
This thing's gonna blow.
Move it.
Come on, Jessica.
Get out of here.
WOMAN: Four, two, one.
[music playing]
So what are you all
standing around for?
Let's bring our team home.
[cheering]
[music playing]
That son of a bitch.
Uh.
[music playing]
We're still on suspension.
I figured as much.
I think I'll take my wife
to Hawaii, 30th anniversary.
That'll be nice.
For you.
What's this?
Virgin Islands.
Debrief Jessica.
She's going to need
a lot of debriefing.
Oh, Wilson's been bumped
upstairs to joint affairs.
I'm now her boss as well.
You mess with her,
you answer to me.
All right, soldier?
Wouldn't have
it any other way.

Hey boss?
Thanks.
