" Now, you see what happened there?" "Huh?" " I'm pretty sure you hit me." "No, I gave you left, left." "You think I'm gonna give you another left and I gave you a right." "I'm just tellin' ya." "I'm just tellin' ya that's what boxing's all about." "Okay?" "You show your opponent one thing... and... you... do something else." "That's how Ali took the title from Foreman." "He beat him with a rope-a-dope." "Don't you remember?" "I don't remember what day of the week it is." "That's right." "Everyone thought Ali's arms had run out." "That he's on empty." "But he was just setting Foreman up." "He let him burn himself out." "And then in the eighth round, in he comes!" "Poor George has got nothin' left." "I always liked Bruce Lee movies." "Hey, you're learning." "Don't look at my hands." "Don't look at my hands." "Look at my shoulder!" "That's where the punch is comin'!" "See?" "Ah, you're still looking at my hands!" "Now, come on!" "Let's try it again." "Come on!" "Focus." "Come on!" "Shoulders!" "Shoulders!" " Here." " Nah, nah, you keep it." "Come on, you won." "Yeah, but I-I always win." "I mean, I'm gonna feel so guilty about it..." "Shut up and take it!" "You know why you didn't beat me today, Hale?" "Could it be you've been boxing for 20 years and you're... you're better at it than I am?" "No." "You don't have the will to win." "Well, your insight is shattering." "You had me today." "You coulda shut me down, but you blinked." "Mm?" "Well, we were only sparring, buddy." "Thinking like that is exactly why you lost." "Now take this." "No, it's yours." "No, no, no, no, take it." "If you didn't give it everything you've got, then I don't want it." " Go ahead." " It's yours, thanks." "It really is yours." "I took it outta your wallet while you were in shower." " General." " General." "Major, were you recently promoted past me?" "No, sir." "Then, why are you smoking in my briefing room?" "Uh..." "Sorry about that, sir." "That'll never happen again." "Sit." "You take off in the Stealth at 0-dark.30." "Fly a simulated low-level border penetration." "Nap of the earth all the way." "Usual..." "Scare the cows, wake the farmers." "Not tonight, buddy." "We're flying the B-3 with two live nukes." "Palmdale's concerned about low-level gamma and x-ray diffusion spring on peripherals." "They wanna send up a couple on the pre-dawn run." "See if anything glows." "61s?" "Big ones. 83s." "Phew!" "Crowd pleasers." " How's your head?" " It's all right." "I'll be fine." " I'm sorry about that." " Don't worry 'bout it." "I'll get you back." "Ah!" "Now you're dreamin'!" "After you, major." "You know, these exercises are fantastic." "When the day comes we have to go to war against Utah, we are really gonna kick ass, you know?" "Ground control." "Ready for roll-out." "Park ranger!" "I'd like to speak to you about this campfire!" " Should I go?" " No, Wanda, you stay put." "Yeah, I know..." "No wood fires in the park." "Just that Wanda has a cold and I'm tring to keep her warm." "Sir, have you seen any other hikers or campers in this area?" "Not this time of year." "Say, what's the fine for something like this?" "Pretty steep." " Aah!" " Oh!" "Aah!" "Secured." " Jesus Christ!" " Drag 'im outta there!" "We'll be smelling that all night." "Climb heading 2-8-7." "Flight level 2-0-0." "That's 2-8-7. 2-0-0." "I don't think that Aurora project's gonna happen for me." "I spoke to your buddy Taylor." "He doesn't feel like I have enough fighter time to qualify." "And what did you say to 'im?" " "Thank you very much, sir." "Goodbye."" " You'll never change, will you?" "And that, my friend, will be your downfall." " You know what your problem is?" " Yeah." "I'm always right." " You think you're always right." " That's deep." "You said so yourself, you should have made colonel by now, but you're too busy pushing at everybody all the time." "Well..." "That's an awesome responsibility, isn't it?" "McMurran Control, this is Ghost-7." "Colonel!" "You boys in Utah still awake?" "Copy, major Deakins." "We're ready and waiting." "Be advised we're gonna catch your sorry little butts this morning and bite down hard!" "You may pass that along to captain Hale with my compliments." "Ooh!" "Wilkins is giving us attitude!" "You wanna take it through tonight?" "Tell 'im I'm gonna fly this thing in one ear and out the other." "He won't even know we were there!" "Copy, colonel." "Hale says if anyone can catch us, you can." "And everyone get a fix!" "They're about to turn out the lights!" " Ready, captain?" " On your command, major." " Go to war." " Initiating stealth mode." "River valley approach, here we go." "Colonel, they've gone to stealth mode." "Hey, we lost them on the radar!" "Anybody still holding?" "Anybody?" " Got capture on their heat signature, sir." " Good." "They may be running cold, but the air is about ten times as colder." "Good man, Frenchy." "I like that." "Descend to 400 feet AGL." "Altimeter setting 3-0-0-1." "Airspeed .7" "Mach." "3-0-0-1. 400 feet." "Nap of the earth, here we go." "Terry?" "You been through the Needles entrance tonight?" " No." "Why?" " Mrs. Parker just called." "Oh, God!" "What is it this time?" "Another UFO?" " Or did Elvis drop by for dinner?" " She didn't mention him, but she said a bunch o' trucks went through the Needles entrance 'bout an hour ago." "She thought they looked a litttle suspicious." "Clyde, what exactly does a suspicious truck look like?" "I don't know and I have no idea!" "Me neither!" "Yeah, the thing is, though, she said one of the trucks was ours." "You're the only one out there tonight, so if it wasn't you..." "She was probably just hallucinating." "Don't worry, I'll check it out." " Lost 'em." " Damn!" "Come on, keep hunting'." "Keep hunting'!" "We're below their eyes and ears." "Proceed to primary target." "Descending to 200 feet." " Ridge coming up in six seconds." " I got it." "Whoo!" "Very nicely done!" "Excellent." " Switching to autopilot." " Almost as good as me." "Eh, I still left a few trees behind." "I'll try to do better next time." "You really love this shit, don't you?" "Where else can you fly a 2 billion-dollar plane 800 miles an hour, 100 feet off the ground?" "Hell, that is a fact." "That is a fact." "You're in for life, huh?" "As long as they'll have me." "Aren't you?" "Nah... nah, nah, nah." "I don't think so." "I mean, come on..." "You even said it yourself." "I should be colonel by now." "Instead, idiots like Boone become general." " Boone is not such a bad guy." " Oh, come on!" "If a thought goes through his head, it'd be the quickest trip in North America!" "Nah..." "Flying doesn't mean what it used to mean to me." "No, not the flying." "Carrying the nukes." "I know you love having the power of God at your fingertips." "You get off on it." "Look out your windows." "Something's wrong with the terrain following here." "Shouldn't that starboard ridge be on our port side?" "Here she comes." "No!" "What the hell are you doing?" "Clyde, I'm standin' here lookin' at half the valley and there's nothing going..." "Holy shit!" "I got 'em!" "McMurran!" "This is Deakins!" "Hale's lost it!" "I'm punchin' out!" "Oh, shit!" "Get me Search and Rescue!" "We got pilots down!" "The plane crashed 18 minutes ago." "The White House Chief of Staff is on his way up." "Good morning, gentlemen!" "So, do I wake the President?" " Bill." " Jack." " Well, what have we got?" " We're going out with this." "Rick's team prepared it." "The United States Air Force regrets to announce that early this morning a C-141 heavy-lift cargo plane went down over the Utah desert." "The status of the crew has yet to be determined." "Yadda yadda yadda..." "Well, that's very nice bullshit, Rick." " Thank you, sir." " We'll go with that." "Wait!" "We're making a mistake." "Giles?" "You... have some input you wish to share with us?" "Yes, sir." "Aviation Week has been following the development of the B-3 for years." "They have stringers, guys camping up in lawn chairs all night by the Whiteman perimeter fence, watching just in case one of these things take off." "Now, they're gonna know... that one took off last night and they're gonna know... that it didn't come back." "When we put out our press release saying a C-141 went down in Utah, they're gonna put two and two together." "Aviation Week is gonna run a story." "Everyone's gonna know what really happened and we're all gonna look extremely... stupid." "We're better off just telling the truth." "The truth?" "How did you get this job?" " Rewrite it, like Giles said." " Yes, sir." "I want you to go to Utah." "I'll have my C-21 standing by." "It was good work in there." "Guys in lawn chairs..." "I don't know, Giles..." "Sometimes you scare me." "Hell, sir... sometimes I scare myself!" "Go!" "Move!" "Move!" "Thomas, over there!" "Reed, check over there!" "Kelly, check over there!" " Anything?" " Not a goddamn thing!" "Colonel!" "This is Rhodes!" "Go, Max." "Aircraft disintegrated." "Negative survivors on site." "Checking payload!" "Over." "You watch your needles there, chief!" "Over here!" "Over here!" "Take that end!" "The nukes are gone." "Colonel!" "We got ourselves a Broken Arrow." "You find those nukes, chief." "If your Geigers pick up more rads than you get off a toaster," "I want you out of there!" " A broken what?" " A Broken Arrow." "It's a Class 4 Strategic Theatre Emergency." "It's what we call it when we lose a nuclear weapon." "I don't know what's scarier." "Losing nuclear weapons, or that it happens so often there's actually a term for it!" "They found the wreckage about 90 miles outside of McMurran." "No bombs on board." "This is a real nightmare." "We don't know where the hell the damn things are." " Captain." " Sir?" "Put two more teams in the air." "I want chief Rhodes and his men backed up to the fullest extent." " Why didn't they go off?" " They have to be armed to detonate." "They're designed to survive crashes intact." "They could lie in a pool of burning jet fuel for five hours, no problem." "So what the hell happened?" "In his last transmission, major Deakins said that captain Hale lost control." "It's possible one of them may have hit weapons release during the confusion." "Deakins..." "You won that round." "Sir!" "Please turn around." " Who the hell are you?" " Park ranger." "Just put it down and I won't have to kill you." "This isn't a standoff." "I've got the gun." "I never keep it loaded." "I thought you said it wasn't loaded." "I lied." "Now, who the hell are you?" "I'm a captain in the United States Air Force." "Well, captain, you're under arrest until we can get it sorted out." "Lady, you're missing the bigger picture here." "Hold still." "All right?" "I have already had a hell of a morning, lady." "I'm not allowed to tell you what's going on, but I need your help, okay?" "This is a good way to convince me." "We both know the gun is loaded, so, if I wanted to, I could blow your head off." "Right?" "Yeah." "But I'm not going to." "Come on." "I got a radio in my truck." "It's this way." "Got 'em!" "We got one." " How you doin'?" " Hey!" " You guys need any help?" " It's an Air Force training exercise, sir." "I'm gonna have to ask you to leave." "Hey, no problem." "We just, uh..." "Oh, jeez..." "Any sign of Deakins?" "Maybe the son of a bitch is dead." "What a terrible thing to say!" "Get 'em." "You assured me everything would go smoothly!" "Everything is going smoothly, I assure you." "Our merchandise is not where it's supposed to be!" "It's right down there, Mr. Pritchett." "Everything's on schedule." "Sir?" "We got one intact." "Let's go find the other one!" "Move!" "Let's go!" "Care for a Coke or something?" "Two gunships just left McMurran, and headed this way." "Oh, wonderful!" " Don't worry about them." " I worry." "What about the other pilot?" "We saw 'im eject." "Hah!" "Captain Hale..." "Well, I seriously doubt that he's alive." "I punched him on the cock doors scraping the valley floor." "There's a report that a park ranger called in." "Says she saw a pilot come down and was gonna look for 'im." "Really?" "Find 'er." "I got it!" "Hello!" "McMurran, come in!" "Go, Max." "McMurran, come in." "Over." "McMurran!" "Max, you there?" " McMurran?" " Max!" "McMurran, come in!" "Move!" "Gonna open up the access panels." "Gonna drop in a couple of grenades." "It won't go nuclear, but it will destroy the bomb." "And who's ever trying to steal it." "I'm afraid I can't let you do that, chief." "And why not?" "All clear!" " Where is this truck of yours?" " Just around the bend." " How did you find me?" " Saw your chute." "Oh, don't step on that stuff!" "There, on that black stuff!" " What is... what is this?" " It's cryptogamic soil." "Very fragile." "One footprint takes centuries to repair." " Oh..." " Come on, jump." "Now." "I thought it was a mine or something." "Endangered dirt." "That's a new one." "Colonel Wilkins!" "This is airman Kelly, sir!" " Go." " Chief Rhodes is dead!" "They're all dead!" "What the hell happened?" "What the hell happened?" "!" "It's the nuke!" "It's open!" "It's wide open!" "Kelly, come in!" "What happened?" "Oh, God!" "What am I gonna do?" "Whoo!" "Recall Search and Rescue." "Get me Washington." "I want NEST on this right now." " You missed your calling, boy!" " Hell, Deak!" "I even bought it!" "Make sure you get Hale!" "Go!" "I'd like to remind you there's still two attack helicopters headed this way!" "Not any more!" "They've just been recalled!" "I'll check further ahead!" "That's where they're headed!" " They're goin' over." " Get to work!" "You see, Mr Pritchett, they believe they've got an exposed core." "And that changes things remarkably." "Cause you can't just send people out there." "Active radiation area." "I mean, that just wouldn't be right." "First thing you have to do is to take a picture from a satellite." "Hell, that takes about an hour and a half just to change orbit." "And they gotta send in a NEST." "That's a Nuclear Emergency Search Team." "Closest one is about two hours from here." "So, you see, by the time they find us, we'll be gone!" "So, relax!" "Think your radio can get us signals to McMurran from here?" "Uh-huh." "Clyde will patch us through." "We can get your people in here, then I can go home and feed my dog." "Clyde, this is Terry." "Do you read me?" "Hello, Clyde." "This is Terry." "Do you read me?" "Why the hell are they shooting at us?" "I don't think we have time to discuss it right now." "Come on!" "Let's have some fun!" " You okay?" " Yeah." "Gimme your gun." "Come on!" "Come on." " You have any more bullets for this thing?" " Yeah." "We need to get out of this canyon." "We can get out up that way." "Now, if I could just get that bastard to hold still..." " I have an idea!" " No, wait!" "I didn't mean..." "Oh, shit..." "Don't shoot!" " Where is he?" " I don't know!" "Oh, no!" "Go, go, go!" "Holy shit!" "Novacek must have hit a canyon wall." " You think?" " Maybe." "Maybe?" "You said you'd planned this thing carefully!" "How are we gonna move those things now?" "Use the trucks." "That's why they are there." "The trucks now!" "You listen to me..." "I've spent a lot of money underwriting this, and, frankly, you're beginning to shake my confidence!" "Mm-hm... mm-hm..." "Well..." "Yeah, well, I, uh..." "I do appreciate the money that you and your associates have invested in this operation, but, uh, it is an operation, a military operation, and you don't know dick about that." "Now, I've been in the military for 20 years." "I planned and flew over 100 missions in the Gulf." "I put these boys together because they are motivated and they are highly trained, like me." "This is what I do, Mr Pritchett." "And this is battle, and battle is a highly fluid situation." "You... you plan on your contingencies, and I have." "You keep your initiative, and I will." "But what you don't do is share command." "It's never a good idea." "It's still my money." "And if we succeed, you and your friends will get a ton of it." "If we're successful..." "Look, Mr. Pritchett, I will deliver the weapons to the destination." "But I can't depend and I can't guarantee that those assholes in Washington won't do something stupid like... not pay." "What if they don't?" "Well, if they don't, the Southwest will be a quiet neighbourhood for... about 10,000 years." "Wilkins." "Fax me their last transmission." "How much radiation is tracking' out there?" " Fax that to Mr. Prentice." " Yes, sir." " So far we're not picking up any." " Well, that's kinda strange, isn't it?" "I mean... with an exposed core?" "Well, I'd call it good news." "The breach may not be as bad as we thought." "Colonel..." "What if this wasn't an accident?" "What are you saying, Giles?" "In his final transmission, just before the crash, major Deakins said captain Hale lost it." "Now, we all assume that to mean pilot error or equipment failure." "But... what if he meant..." " ..." "Hale intentionally lost the plane?" " But, why would he do that?" "Two nuclear weapons would be worth a lot o' money." "To who, son?" "There are easier ways to buy nuclear weapons." "If you wanna go to one of the old Soviet republics," "I'll fix you up with a couple for the price of a BMW." "Sir..." "I meant how much would they be worth to us." "How much would we pay to get them back?" "Hold on." "These nukes have codes or something that prevent people from using them." "Of course." "And no one knows these codes, right?" "Except for the President and you guys?" "Access to the codes requires the highest security." "Yeah, but I mean not even the pilots have these codes, right?" "Where's that NEST team now?" "They just took off, sir." "The ETA in Utah is 96 minutes." " Left ten, left." " Ten-four." " It's okay..." " It's not okay!" "I wanna know what's goin' on, and I wanna know right now!" "We were carrying nuclear weapons on our plane last night." "My former commander is trying to steal them." " Oh, my God!" " That's why I need your help." "But w-without the helicopter he won't be able to move them at all." "No, no, no, no." "Deak'll have a backup plan." "He'll be prepared for that." "Trucks!" "He's got trucks!" "Last night..." "Clyde radioed me that someone came through the Needles Gate with trucks." "I don't think he's gonna take 'em towards town." "What else is around here?" "The river." " Do you mind?" " No, I don't mind at all." "Care for one?" "See the one in front there?" "That must got the nukes in it." "How do you know?" "There's only a driver." "They're tryin' to keep the weight down." " Gimme your gun again, will ya?" " What are you gonna do?" "Well..." "I'll think of something." "W-w-wait." "Wait, wait." "Look, we know where they are." "Let's get to a phone and call for help." "If they make it to the river, I'm gonna lose 'em again." "You get to the phone, okay?" " Then I'm going with you." " No, you're not." "You're gonna need help!" "Look, lady, I don't have time to argue with you, okay?" "And the nuclear weapons are my responsibility." "Not yours." "You're a park ranger." "I'm a military officer." "You just go to the phone." "Oh, this is a bad idea!" " Hi!" " Hi." "Hale!" "Goddamn!" "Run 'im down." "Get 'im!" "Get 'im!" "Get 'im, goddamm it!" "Fuck!" "Don't panic." "Bulletproof glass." "You can get out now." "I don't know, but it looks like we got ourselves a standoff!" "No... we... don't!" "Go!" "Go!" "Okay..." "You can come." "Goddamn!" "Would you mind not shooting at the thermonuclear weapons?" " Where's St. Jude's Hospital from here?" " Salt Lake City, I think." " Shit!" " What?" " We're losing gas!" " They must have hit the tank." "We have to find some place to hide these things." "I know a place." "What the fuck are you up to, Hale?" "Don't even..." "Stop!" "Oh, fuck!" " You learn that in survival school?" " New Jersey." "Trenton, New Jersey." "What is this place?" "It used to be a copper mine." "They shut it down a couple of years ago." "Why would they have a new lock?" "All right!" "Good move, Hale." "I didn't see it comin'." "But you're definitely gonna pay for it." "Saddle up, boys!" "This place has been prepped." "Deak's been here." "Look, you-you think he's comin' back?" "Yeah, that'd be my guess." "We may not have a lot of time." "What are we gonna do?" "We just take away his reason for being here." "Wanna help me unload these things?" "Where do you think they're goin'?" "Same place we were." "It's the only thing on this road." "My God!" "Are you sure you know what you're doing?" "When you fly with nuclear weapons, you're trained to... retrieve if possible, disable if necessary, destroy if essential." "And what are we doing?" "I'm gonna disable it." "You see, you have to arm these things with a code." "If you enter the wrong code three times, the nuke goes dead." "All the circuitry shuts down and shorts out." "Pretty soon these things'll be, uh, nothing more than paperweights." "Hale!" "Pick up!" "Pick up!" "Come on, buddy." "Pick up the phone." "Buddy, huh?" "Son of a bitch!" "You tried to kill me!" "Friendship is over." "Well, that doesn't mean I don't like you." "Hell, I'm impressed!" "I figured you'd have packed up and walked off by now." "Yeah, well, you figured wrong." "Now I get the nukes." "Guess what, Deak?" "I'm gonna deactivate 'em." "Hear that?" "I keep punching the wrong codes." "Pretty soon these things are gonna be absolutely useless." "You might as well turn around and drive away." "Outstanding, Hale!" "That's the spirit!" "Damn!" "I'm totally screwed now!" "Unless, of course, I'd already thought of that ahead o' time." "What?" "You're kidding!" "Didn't work, did it?" "I used uncoded circuit boards." "You just activated a nuclear warhead, my friend." "Setting off a nuke in this mine was part of my plan from day one." "Otherwise, some DC civilian might say..." "I haven't got the guts." "Fuck!" "He's insane!" "You know, Hale, I considered bringing you in on this." " You know why I didn't?" " Because I would've said no?" "Nah." "If you had said no, I'd have just killed you." "I was afraid you're gonna say yes." "Cause you don't have the balls to go through with somethin' like this." "We both know that." " How deep is this mine?" " Uh..." "About 2,000 feet." "That's plenty." "Now, look, I'm gonna be there in a few minutes." "My advice to you is to get outta there as soon as you can." "It's your last move, buddy." "You know somethin', Deak?" "I can think of another move." "I'm gonna keep the both of these things together." "Now, if one o' them goes off, the other gets buried under a billion tons of rock." " How's that sound, huh?" " You wouldn't do something like that." "You sure about that... buddy?" "Shit!" "Fuck!" "He's gonna do it!" "Let's get 'em!" "All right." "We gotta be gone before he gets here." "I-I can't do this!" "Listen, you told me this is a copper mine, right?" " Right?" " Right." "Okay, now." "The blast and the heat will fuse this place into one big, solid, copper pot." " But they're coming!" " That's right." "They're coming." "If I don't get these things down to a safe level before they get here," "God knows where he's gonna use them." "Just keep an eye on the timer, okay?" "All right." "What's that noise?" "Water." "There's an underground river beneath this place." "All right, let's get these things unloaded." "I understand, sir." "Well, I'll advise NEST of the situation and as soon as they confirm that the ground is clean," "I'll send in a dozen gunships." "We'll secure the whole area." "Yes, sir." "Giles Prentice, sir." "I got here as soon as I could." " Wilkins." "Good to meet you finally." " Likewise, sir." "That was the chairman, Mr. Prentice." "According to an NSA radio intercept, you were right." "But it's Deakins stealing the nukes." "Not Hale." "Now what?" "Now we get outta here before he shows up." "How many times do I have to say it?" "Please, don't shoot the nuclear weapons." "Kelly!" "We've found the nuke." "We're at the end of tunnel A." "Put the cold one on the elevator and we'll be right along." "A service tunnel!" "Come on!" "Make sure Hale doesn't get back to the bomb." "And, Johnson..." "The clock is ticking." "Hm..." " Where are you taking us?" " Back to the elevator." "These service tunnels run between the main shafts." "Now, if we take the next right..." "Hey, Hale!" "Nice move with the nukes!" "Shows initiative, determination." "Proud of ya!" "But I think I gave us all too much time." "30 whole minutes?" "I don't know..." "Shows a lack of total commitment, don't you think?" "So I took it down to 13." "I'll be right back." " All set." " We'll be right along." "Are you okay?" "Well..." "I gotta go." "You two have a nice time down here." "And, uh... don't forget to say hi to Johnson for me when you see 'im." "I got 20 bucks that says you're gonna see 'im first." " Really?" " Yeah." "And I know what you're after." "You're gonna ransom Salt Lake City, aren't you?" " Well, why do you say that?" " St. Jude's Hospital?" "You're gonna hide the warheads in the radiology department so they don't show up on any satellite scans." "Right?" " Huh!" "Well, I'm impressed." " Thank you." " So, how much you ask for?" " Lots." "I got a broker in Stockholm who's gonna buy me 5% of Volvo." "And for the rest of my years, I'm gonna live off the dividends, happy in the knowledge that I'm... helping to make the safest automobiles..." "in the world." "So that's what this is all about, huh?" "The money?" " Yeah." " Bullshit." "Well, look, you tell me why." "Go ahead." "You tell me why." "Cause you've been passed over for promotion so many times you wanna show the bastards you're right!" "You know, maybe it's, uh, maybe it's cause everybody's cashing out, so why the hell not you?" "I don't know." "Maybe, maybe your mother dropped you on your head when you were a baby." "I mean, who the hell cares, Deak?" "I mean there's no difference between you and a guy who shoots up a school yard." "You both got a head full of bad wiring." " What was that?" " You're fucked in the head, Deak!" "Hah!" "I pissed him off." "It's this way!" "Hey, hey, hey!" "Where the hell's the other one?" "Shut up!" "Help us." "Come on!" "Why am I going with cluster fuck?" "Get the goddamn thing in!" "Let's get outta here!" "That was the only way out." "Man..." "That's it, then, isn't it?" "You have any family?" "N... no..." "Just me and Fred." "Fred..." "Who's, uh, who's Fred?" "Your boyfriend?" "No, my dog." "The river!" "Oh, my God!" "Oh, my God!" "They... they... hit it, uh... digging a tunnel!" "That's why they shut down the mine!" "Come on!" "Hang on!" "Four minutes to detonation." "You stupid bastard!" "We'll all be killed!" "We'll be fine, Mr. Pritchett." "Now will you please keep your voice down?" "I'm tryin' to concentrate." "This should be it!" "This thing doesn't go anywhere." "One o'clock!" "On the road!" "Attention!" "We are federal agents!" "Stop your vehicle immediately!" "Oh, God!" "Oh, God!" "How does that gunship fit into your grand strategy?" "You don't know, what you're doin', do you?" "This is out of control!" "I must have been..." "Hush!" "Hush!" "Stop your vehicle!" "I repeat!" "Stop your vehicle immediately!" "Swing around." "We'll be in front of 'em!" "Do not move or you will be fired upon!" "Uh-uh-uh!" "We are federal agents!" "Throw down your weapons and keep your hands in sight!" "I just realized something." "I never... actually killed anyone before." "I mean..." "I dropped bombs on Baghdad, but, uh, never face to face." "I don't know what the big deal is." "I really don't." "Turn your electronic equipment off... now." "Throw down your weapons!" "All right!" " What do you got?" " We're losing power!" " What's going on?" " Oh, my God!" "We've gone red!" "Triple red!" "All out!" "Wahoo!" "I say, goddamn!" "What a rush!" "Whoo!" "Son of a bitch!" "Shock wave took down the damn chopper!" "That's EMP." "Electromagnetic pulse." "A nuclear blast sends it out for miles." "Everything electronic shuts down including choppers and radios." "Hell, we just shut down McMurran's field communications!" "That I bet'll put a pretty little dent in their response time, huh?" " Deak, you the man!" " I'm the man!" "Colonel Wilkins, sir?" "Uh, shouldn't we be evacuating?" "We're fine." "It was underground." " Colonel Wilkins for general Creely." " Are you sure?" "And how do you know that?" "Because if it'd been a surface detonation we'd have felt a different kind of ground tremor." "We'd also be burned and blind and dying." "We're ten minutes behind." "Mr. Pritchett, you mind stepping outside?" "It went off underground, thank God!" "What do we do now?" "First, we nail a huge goddamn lid on this thing." "And with all due respect to your boy Giles and his belief that honesty is the best policy, from now until the end of the world, what happened in Utah today was an earthquake." "Hey!" "It's okay..." " Oh, my God!" "We set off a nuclear bomb!" " It's okay." "The walls shielded the blast." "None of the radiation leaked out." "We're all right!" "Look at my hands!" "Why are they shaking like that?" "Because they're cold, the water was freezing." " That's not normal!" " No, it's okay." "It's okay." "You're just cold." "You just need to get warm, okay?" "All right?" "Hey, look!" "You see the, uh, the butterflies there?" "Now, if there was radiation around, they wouldn't be able to survive, now would they?" "No." " Right?" " I guess not." "It says so in the, uh... detonation manual that if you see butterflies after detonation, you're gonna be fine." "Okay?" " It doesn't say that!" " I promise you that we're fine." "How far down the riverbank does this path go?" "Uh, three or four miles." "We should be able to get to Deakins before he gets outta here." "Wait!" "Hey!" " Looks like there's just two of them." " Running late!" "There's more coming." "Hey!" "I thought you said Hale wouldn't be a problem." "Yeah, well, he surprised me, too, but he's dead, so let's go." " Sink it?" " Steal it." "Come on, let's move it!" " They're comin'!" " Get out of the boat!" "Get out of the boat!" "Well, your friends in Washington should be getting the package about now." "Yep." "I'm sure we got their full and complete attention." "Let's move it!" "We're on a tight schedule!" "250 million dollars by 14:00, Utah time." "This deadline is not negotiable." "And there is no grace period." "The second device is on a timer." "Shortly after you receive this, the timer will be activated." "At 14:01, I will make a call." "If I find you've complied, I will stop the timer." "If you have not..." "Yes." "Yes, sir, I understand." " Creely." " Please hold the line, sir." "The President is asking if we know where the device is headed." "If Deakins had a plane waiting, it could be anywhere." "We just don't know." "I do." "One moment, sir." "General, this is colonel Jamison." "They've found captain Hale." "He's at Lake Powell." "This is a really bad idea!" " Sir!" "The prisoner is secure!" " All right, Tom!" "Good job!" "You gentlemen can RTB." "I'll take it from here REF." "Roger, sir." "Returning to base!" "They found the raft on the other side of the lake." "Tracks from a heavy truck ran out when they hit the paved road." " What about the girl?" " What about her?" "What about her!" "She's an innocent victim in all this." "I got her involved." "When you guys find that truck, you're gonna hit it with everything you got!" "I don't want her becoming a casualty." "Look, maybe giving her up is okay okay with you, but, uh, we're military officers." "We took an oath." "One officer to another, we've a responsibility to save that woman's life and get back the weapon." "And I have a responsibility to follow my orders and return you to McMurran." "Now, do you understand what orders are, captain?" " Yes, sir." "I do." " Good." "Because I'm about to break them." " Any argument, Mr. Prentice?" " No, sir." "Just for the record, I'm not entirely a civilian." "I was actually a lieutenant in the ROTC at..." "Yale." "Good for you, lieutenant." "Is the radio still down?" "Afraid so." "Your chopper will be refuelled in two minutes." "I wish I were going with you." "Captain, what exactly are you looking for?" " Tracks." " As in railroad tracks." "Yeah, Deak knows you're covering every inch of asphalt north of here." "I'll bet 20 bucks that nuke isn't on a truck." "It's on a train." "Let's see the map." "All right." "Salt Lake is northwest of here." "These tracks curve east before it gets to Salt Lake." " Why would he do that?" " I don't think he's going to Salt Lake." "But that's where the closest hospital is." "You found the radiology tag yourself." "I know, that's what's been bothering me." "I think he planted it." "He wanted the person that found it to think that's where he was heading." " He's doin' a rope-a-dope!" " He's doin' a what?" "Rope-a-dope." "You know?" "It's a boxing term." "Ali and Foreman in Zaire?" "Captain, I know what the rope-a-dope is." "What's your point?" "My point is that if everything he shows us says he's heading west, he's actually heading east." "Denver." "You said you had Salt Lake sealed up pretty tight." "What's gonna hurt if we check out Denver?" " Shepherd!" " Hey, Deak!" " Any trouble with the train crew?" " Not a bit." "They went like lambs." "Ah, good for them." "Let's get that satellite dish wired in." " Already done." " Excellent!" "With this remote, you can shut the bomb down face to face, or, if you want, you can dial it in over the link." "All right, let's close this deal." "Now, Shepherd, I wanna be airborne in five minutes en route to the mountains." "Kelly, contact Washington." "Let 'em know the bomb's on its way to Denver." "Then contact Geneva." "When the money's in place, I'll shut down our puppy." "Smile, boys!" "We're about to retire!" "Let's get this bird unwrapped!" "We haven't met." "I'm Max!" "You probably thought I was a computer nerd, didn't you?" "Wrong!" "I was a Navy SEAL, lady." "You really should see what I can do... with just my thumb." "You just saved me 3 million dollars." "I owe you one." "Shoot yourself." "We'll call it square." "Whoa!" "Attitude!" "Now, where is my little buddy Hale?" "He left you alone, didn't he?" "Well, that's his speed." "100% pussy." "He's got more guts than you think." "But would he have enough guts to eat a bullet before he'd help someone vaporize a whole city?" "I think he'd fold." "But not you." "I think you got more guts than he does." "I..." "I think you'd eat a bullet." "Let's find out!" "Now, press four..." "Ooh!" "I said push four." "Go ahead." "Push four!" "Four..." "Eight..." "Seven..." "Go ahead." " Please..." " Seven..." "Starting at ground zero and moving out in concentric circles, we have, in terms of immediate effect," "100% fatalities to 30 miles, 90% at 40 miles, dropping roughly 10% for every 10 miles after that." "Two..." "One..." "Enter." "We estimate..." "250,000 dead on impact, with another quarter million projected within the year." "Enter." "Come on." "Just push Enter and it's done." "Which is it gonna be, hm?" "Ah!" "Mm..." "You know, to tell the truth, I thought you were gonna fold." "Well, I'm dead either way, so do it yourself, asshole." "Open the door!" "Night-night, honey!" " Cover me!" " Good luck!" "Bring it in!" "Gimme your hand!" "Okay!" "You can come!" "Get me down there right now!" "Let's give those guys a haircut!" " Shit!" " Get down!" "Freeze!" " Wow!" " That was a first for me, too!" "This is where you two get off!" "No!" " We're leaving, now!" " Yes, sir!" " Where's Shepherd?" " He's supposed to be here." "Find 'im!" "Cut the power!" "Goddamn you, Hale!" "We'll never get clear in time." "We need to shut down the nuke." "You hear me?" "You need to disarm it!" "Find Hale!" "Oh, God!" "Your shoulder..." "Help me off with this!" "Oh, God!" "No matter what happens, this train can't make it to the city." "So..." "You stay here and uncouple the car." "I'm gonna go after Deakins." " I'll see you soon." " You promise?" "Fuck 'em if they can't take a joke." "What the fuck are you doin'?" "Shut that son of a bitch down!" "Now!" "This ain't what I signed on for!" "I'm not ready to die!" "Not for you!" "Everybody dies, Kelly." "I'm as good a reason as any." "Come on!" "Come on!" "Hale!" "Incoming!" "Come on out, Deak!" "It's over!" "You lose." "I still got my finger on the trigger." "That's the remote trigger." "You see, if I press this button, here, you lose." "And if I push this button, the weapon is disarmed." " Why don't you disarm it, then?" " I'm not in the mood." "Now, get rid of your weapon." "Get rid of your weapon!" "Come on!" "Attaboy!" "Now, you can shut it down." "You just have to come and get it." "And 20 dollars that I took from you last night... says that you won't." " You're out of your mind!" " Yeah!" "Ain't it cool?" "I'm serious, Deak." "Your mind has taken a walk off the map." "Maybe, but I'm still gonna kick your ass." "All right!" "You're bleeding, aren't ya?" "Well, that's good!" "Let's see if we can get any more out of you, all righty?" "Used to be, every fight went to a knockout." "You know what it feels like to be knocked out?" "Your brain presses against your skull and it feels like this!" "Feel anything like that?" "I win." "Sir, please turn around." " My name's Riley Hale." " Terry Carmichael." "Pleased to meet you." "You know, you're still under arrest, captain." "Oh, yeah?" "I guess you'd better take me in."
