"My dear, I would like to thank you for accepting our invitation... and I would like to introduce you to the gentleman who first suggested your presence here." "Colonel Peter Vojnovic." "Unfortunately, Colonel... she had an emergency come up, and she has to leave." "I will remember this night for a long time." "You may never forget it, Mowgli." "Man:" "I understand completely, and I want you to know... the United States government is grateful for your help, Miss Chernenko." "As soon as I get my green card." "Very interesting..." "Oh, my God, what is this?" "Let me go!" "There is no..." "Goran?" "What's going on?" "This is unacceptable..." "We've changed your hotel for safety reasons." "The building across from the Sheraton is empty." "This makes it easier for us to..." "Colonel?" "Yaghh!" "The following is a special report of the European-American Network." "Colonel Vojnovic will be the first of four high ranking officers... to be tried on Friday for crimes against humanity... in the Bosnian war crimes tribunal." "Vojnovic was the leader of a Serbian military unit... known as the "Brown Hats. "" "This group tops the list of human rights organizations as perpetrators of inhuman acts of attrition... and so-called "ethnic cleansing" against Croats and Bosnians during the Bosnian War." "Since the capture of the Serbian colonel by American military forces some three months ago... numerous bomb threats have been made against the UN prison compound here in The Hague." "Man: "High Fences..." "Firewall." "" I'm not getting in that way." "Can't jump over the fence, or go around it..." "Let's try Mr. Parker's domain." " Children, none; wife deceased..." " Thirty seconds." "attachés, secretaries, valets, housekeepers... subordinates... a driver." " Pets, cats, dogs..." " Twenty." "a hamster, a horse." " Horse is a gift from..." " Fifteen seconds." "NSC advisor Jean Parker." "Horse's name: "Goblin"." "How sweet." ""Goblin. "" "Five seconds." "I'm in." "You're in?" "Deep enough to see that NSC advisor Parker has awarded a certain..." ""BB" three stars...?" "What time's your plane, Mitchell?" "About 35 minutes, General." "My kid's sleeping in the limo now." " Well, good hunting." " Thank you." "Oh, by the way, Mitchell... does Mr. Parker's information reveal what "BB" does to rate three stars?" "She bites." ""She bites. "" "I hear the girls in Armenia are pretty sexy." "You said the same thing about Poland." " Who said that?" "I said that?" " But I've never seen one." "All I've seen are those not-so-sexy secretaries in another ugly embassy." "Well, Bucharest is the last one, and it's only for three days." "I had better things to do, Steve." "Wait a minute." "For years, all I hear is..." ""We've gotta spend more time together. "" "Now you've got "better things to do"?" "Taking me to work with you is not what I meant by, "more time"." "Chris, have you thought more about what we were talking about?" "I know you love your grandma..." "I don't want to live with my grandparents, Steve." "How's that gonna help things between us?" "I wanna live with you." "Look..." "Chris..." "I'm not a very good dad." "And I'm never gonna be a very good dad." "Period." "I'm a cranky, irascible, impatient, workaholic." "You don't have very much fun with me." "I mean, let's face it." "I don't make you happy." "No, Steve, no." "The truth is, I don't make you happy." "Morning, Sarge." "Hi." "Steve Mitchell, Chris Mitchell, to see Ambassador Gannon, please." " Welcome to Bucharest, Mr. Mitchell." " Thank you." "I will let Deputy Tomberlin know you're here." " Mr. Mitchell?" " Hi." "I am the ambassador's governess." "How do you do?" "This is his daughter, Gina." "Hi, Gina." "This is my..." "my son, Chris." "We're just about to catch a bus for the city." "Perhaps Chris..." "would you like to come along?" "Perhaps Chris would like..." "excuse me." " What?" " I brought stuff to read." "Are you kidding?" "That girl's hotter than a pistol." "Plus, it'll keep you out of another embassy." " He'd love to come." " Ah, good." "Has my liason arrived yet?" "She's waiting for you in the old security room." "You'll be meeting Ambassador Gannon at lunch." "Very good, very good." "Thank you." "Otherwise, your time is pretty much your own." "Chris...?" "Chris?" "Chris?" "Come on, come on, let's go." "Thank God they finally got around to sending you guys... to update those computer systems." "Mr. Mitchell?" "Steven Mitchell?" "This is Erica Long." "I'll be downstairs if you need anything." "Nice to see you, "Bubbles"." "Of all the computer rooms in all the embassies in all the world..." "I gotta stroll into..." "I don't believe you." "We were bound to run into each other sooner or later." "Just the luck of the draw, right?" "Did you do Moscow?" "Yep." "And Warsaw and East Berlin." "Who was your liason?" "You know that's classified." "A woman?" "You could talk about a miracle, but never mention the angel." "Yeah, right." "I've done four." " Really?" " Um-hmm." "Prague was the best." "Budapest wasn't bad, either." "I can't believe we haven't been together on one of these before." "Erica:" "Like they were made for each other." "So what do you say..." "we go see the ambassador for the security access, and head down to the site?" "There's no rush, is there?" "That thing's been down there since the first day of the Cold War." " How did you do it?" " I got a draw." "Something tells me... that you used some serious grease to get us here together." "What else is that "something" telling you?" "Erica:" "Does this belt really open?" "Sergeant:" "Excuse me, sir..." "Morning, Ms. Long." "You two find everything you need?" "So far, so good, thank you." "Ambassador Gannon's ready for you when you're finished in here." "Hopefully, before lunch." "Okay." "Thank you, Sergeant." "Ma'am, I need you to step through again, please?" "Step back." "The detector's not working." "So what else is there to do in this town?" "I hear the Russian Circus is in town." "Russian Circus?" "Okay, that's an idea." "We could do that." "So, how's the wife, Steve-o?" "Car accident." "I'm sorry." "Yeah." "Kind of a bad start, huh?" "At least you got a little of that domestic life you were looking for." "I never figured you wanted to go that way, so..." "I never heard you ask." "So, what's the security gimmick down here this time?" "A pool full of crocodiles?" "The ambassador will let us know." "That's why he's waiting for us." "Well, let's get on the good foot." "Sergeant Nakajima, this is my liason, Steve Mitchell." "Yeah, hi." "We... met, right?" "Good to meet you." "Why don't you stay here... and the sergeant will show you how the computer system works." "I'll be back in five minutes." "Right." "Well... nice to see you again." "This place may not look like much to a world traveler like yourself..." " Doesn't." " But it used to be security." ""Used to be" is right It's older than dirt." "I've still got all the surveillance connections here... so if I wanna take a walk through the lobby I press a button." "If I wanna take a stroll through the streets of Bucharest..." "I just press this button, and I'm outside." " Look, it's a wedding." " How charming." "Talk about starting off on the wrong foot." "What's that?" "Romanian foreplay?" "Actually, they call it, "Prelude"." ""Prelude" Tough." "Down!" "Move!" "You sit!" "There's one on the second floor." "West corridor." "And another one in the kitchen." "Sergeant:" "He's cleaning up with a thermal tracking device." "They'd have to get a sensor in here to use that thing." "And on the third floor, across the stairs, two people." "...across the stairs..." " That's us." "This place was done over in the 50's, but it works." "Goran?" "There is nothing across the stairs." "They've cut communications." "Hell, that's cold." "What are you doing?" "Disappearing." "We're about to witness the shortest hostage crisis in history." " What are you doing?" " Just keep your eye on the desk." " The desk is rigged?" " Just watch the desk." "One step closer." "One step... gotcha." " Uh-uh." " What?" "Zoom in on this other camera." "I seem to recognize those pretty blonde curls, don't you?" "Sir, she's not in the line of fire." "You kill Erica instead of him, this whole thing gets worse." "How is that possible?" "I need to erase some classified information in the basement... and I need her to access it." "I'm going for that woman before he picks up the thermo-tracking." "Thank you for coming, gentlemen." "I appreciate your quick response." " Who's closest to the embassy?" " Buck Swain." "He's putting together a combined special forces unit as we speak." "The elite of the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines." "What I want to know is about the security breach." "Security?" "In our embassies?" "Tell me another story." "Ambassador..." "Ambassador Gannon." "I need the security code." "It's not gonna do much good in here." "I don't plan on staying." "Six..." "G... 3... zero..." "Ambassador Gannon?" "That man is the American ambassador to Romania..." "And you are?" "Diplomatic attaché Erica Long." "Your name must have more to do with your legs, Miss Long... than your life span." "At least I still have a life span." "Oh, boy." "We got a live one, here." "Tim..." "I'm at the north corridor." "All right." "Stay to the left and the rear of the building." "Did you get that?" "Sir...?" "Step out there, and read this." "Wait." "The whole world is going to be watching." "Reporter:" "Someone has just been pushed out..." "It looks like U.S. ambassador Jacques Gannon." "The Serbian Liberation Front is holding 37 prisoners of war." "Their fate is in the hands of the United States government... who now must arrange for the immediate release of Colonel Peter Vojnovic... who was criminally abducted three months ago... from the Russian embassy by American military forces." "Until that time... one hostage will be killed every hour, beginning now." "The second is being chosen as I speak." "The first will be..." "Ambassador Gannon." "Me." "He's coming down slowly, almost at the bottom." "There's a palpable tension in the air... as Ambassador Gannon steps away from his besieged embassy." "Ambassador Jacques Gannon is approaching the police line." "He's just a few short feet from safety." "Authorities are whisking him into a police vehicle under heavy guard." "As you can imagine, chaos has broken out..." "Reporter:" "The van the ambassador had entered seconds ago has blown up." "Goddamn it!" "How did I know you'd come for me?" "We have some unfinished business, don't we?" "I thought we were pretty much finished for today." "Enthusiasm is the greatest aphrodisiac." "Tim, second floor..." "good to go." "Tim:" "Go, go, go!" "Tim:" "Go, go!" "What's telling me Miss Long was helped out of here... by the guy that doesn't exist?" "Go get her." "Okay, we're in the third floor emergency stairwell." "What up?" "All right, sir." "Stay towards the rear of the building... the living areas." "There are no cameras there." "That's not gonna help with the thermo." "There isn't any thermo-tracking device." "Yes!" "Steve, why are we going up?" "Shouldn't we be heading down?" "Not until we know how to get down without getting our asses shot." "Listen, if those guys do know what's down there... they also know that it's old." "And they're not going to have to buy much time to get control of that." "Trust me." " You've got to be kidding me." " Weren't the 50's fun?" "I wouldn't know." "I wasn't born yet." "Gentlemen, I think we should take advantage of this opportunity to strike the hard line against terrorists." "I suggest you let me bomb the shit out of them." "There are 37 people in there." "Weren't you the one who made all those speeches after the Iran crisis about shooting first, and asking questions later?" "He was going through a divorce at the time." "Sorry..." "I suggest you let me call in an immediate air strike." "General Swain's already halfway there." "We've already decided on policy..." "Gentlemen." "This is more of a... special situation." "Early in the Cold War, we found out where to position atomic bombs... what were determined areas of primary defense." "We decided the best strategy would be to have these bombs already planted at these targets in the capitals of these Communist nations." "This way, we would have first-strike capability... before the enemy could even launch their missiles." "A nuclear defense wall, so to speak." "It became obvious where we could most easily conceal these weapons." "In our own embassies." "Who the hell made that decision?" "Hold on, Ed." "How much of this "nuclear wall" still exists?" "Bucharest is the last." "And you think it's a coincidence terrorists have chosen Bucharest?" "I might have, if they hadn't attacked on the day we sent two operatives to disarm it and ship it back." "Is there any way we can shut down the system from here?" "It's a monitoring system." "It doesn't regulate." "So, it's very likely these terrorists know something we don't." "And it's even more likely we don't have any way to stop them." "Excuse me, what are you doing?" "I'm calling the President." "I don't think he knows a thing." "I can't permit that." "Why not?" "The previous administration ordered the Joint Chiefs to keep silent about this before you were one of them." " That order's still valid." " This is insane." "No, this is national security." "Need I remind you, we have a national security advisor... who is still responsible for making a final call on this?" "Hang it up, Ben." "We are not going to get down there in the open, baby." "Ventilation shafts." "No, there's a pressure sensor that'll send an alarm to security." "What if we change the pressure?" " CO-2." " Might work." "This seems like a lot of trouble to erase some information." "What is it gonna take for you to tell me what's going on?" "I'm still one hostage short." "Did you find that woman?" "Goran?" "There's some commotion outside." "Reporter:" "... a 13 or 14-year-old boy... or should I say, a very brave young man." "I see him now..." "As we stand watching, one of the terrorists is lifting the boy from the ledge, onto the roof." "This poor boy has spent ten minutes dangling above the ground." " Okay?" " Yeah." " Sorry." " Aghh!" "We are not getting paid enough to be part of this kinda work." "Do you have any idea what we're worth... in the real world, doing what we do?" "It just doesn't feel right." " Feels pretty good from here." " I'm not kidding." "I'm not kidding either, but you gotta consider the perks." "International cuisine, beautiful hotels, beautiful museums... interesting people, exotic places..." "Right." "Where else would I get to see the inside of a ventilation shaft?" "Maybe we should ask for a raise." "Yeah, there you go." "Tim:" "You guys are in the red." "What's taking so long?" "Come on." "Come on." "Tim:" "Pressure's up, already." "Bring it down." "What's going on?" "Do I look like a fireman?" "I don't know what's wrong with it." "Okay, it's not working." "We better get out of here." "Faith..." "just a little faith." "All right, they know where you are, get out." "You guys hear me?" "Get out." "Tim:" "Okay, okay, go." "Straight or left?" "Take it to the left." "I think I've got my one o'clock." "EAN TV has just picked up this live transmission... said to be coming from within the United States embassy." "I have decided that this young man... will be my next message to you." "I will shoot him... unless I am given proof that Colonel Vojnovic has been released." "In... nine minutes." "Son of a bitch, he has his own satellite transmission." "I want nothing that happens in that embassy on the air." "Cut that transmission, scramble it, and feed it into our system." "Goddamn it." "Mitchell:" "I'm with ya." "Okay, Tim." "We're at a crossroads." "Which way?" "Take the right, then call me at the next intersection." " Okay." " Let's go." " Son of a bitch..." " What?" "Son of a bitch, he's gonna kill some kid." "I didn't see a kid down there." "How old is he?" "Tim:" "Thirteen, fourteen..." "What color jacket does he have on?" "Jean jacket, wearing a walkman..." " It's Chris." " Chris?" "What the hell is he doing there?" "I gotta go." "Steve, if you don't follow protocol, I don't have any choice." "You shoot me, you can't do very much with that bomb, can you?" "I can't do anything with it if you leave me alone here, either." "Goddamn it, Steve!" "We are here for a bomb We have to do this." "He's my son, Erica." "Help me." "I'm in the john..." "on the second floor." "Tim:" "All right, just sit tight." "I'll let you know when you're clear." "Goran:" "You have two minutes." "I still don't see the colonel." "The clock is still ticking." " We have to do something." " What the hell can we do?" "With what he's sitting on?" "And a gun pointed at a kid's head?" "They still got a gun on my kid?" "Yeah." "A minute-thirty." "Well, get me there." "Okay, okay, go." "No... no, wait..." "I gotta go." "Okay, okay, go." "You're clear." "Chris...!" "Come on." "Pull, pull!" "Secure that room!" "Where's the kid?" "Chris, are you okay?" "You sick murderer." "The lady of the house will be your next one o'clock." "Goran?" "NATO is causing problems getting the colonel out of prison." "They need more time." "Whispering:" "Help me, God... please." "I give you another hour." "Son of a..." "I'd like to recommend we send for Vojnovic." "Only to get Goran out of the embassy." "You know American foreign policy on war criminals and terrorists." "How are you going to explain to the President... we let Vojnovic out of jail after just two hours?" "The President is not going to authorize a release... unless we explain why we have to get that terrorist out of the embassy." "We're talking about an atomic bomb, here." "Then it would seem... we're going to have to tell him." "Before we take one more step..." "You should know..." "I am a Croat." "Where the hell is Swain?" "!" "Saddle up." "General Swain, I'm Colonel Vasilescu." "Welcome to Romania, sir." "Thank you, Colonel." " Sorry." " That's okay." "Damn." "They get anything important?" "No, everything important was in my throat." "And what are you doing here?" "You're supposed to be on a bus, not getting your brains blown out." "I put you on a bus, with a cute fat girl, and what is this?" "You don't like embassies, you don't like my work... what are you doing here?" "I missed you...?" "Tim:" "Looks like we've got activity outside." "Reporter:" "... they are under the command of Michael "Buck" Swain... highly decorated field commander who took part in Operation Desert Storm." "Move out, move out, go!" " Captain?" " Sir?" "I want Alpha squad right in their face, Baker at the back door..." "Excuse me, General?" "We should discuss whatever movements you're planning." "The embassy is United States territory." "On this sidewalk, you're in Romania, sir." "Oh, okay." "Excuse me." "Captain?" "Yes, sir?" "Find me a spot to place an operations command post." "Right away, sir." "And, Colonel...?" "Since your people seem to have difficulty dispersing that crowd... perhaps when the shooting starts... you'll keep them on your side of the line?" "General Swain, here." "Goran:" "I was hoping they'd send you, Swain." "All right, who is this?" "Your old schoolmate, Buck." "Goran Mladinov." "I know all the options, Swain." "Nothing you do will work, unless delivering Colonel Vojnovic." "These tunnels lead to a fork, that means she and I go left." "Where's that other one go?" "Looks like that tunnel opens up to the river." "If you wanna get your kid out of the embassy, that's the best way." "How do I know these goons don't know about it?" "They haven't bothered us in this room, so they're not working off this map." "They can't know about that tunnel." "Take Chris down that tunnel, and get him out of the city." " Out of the city?" " The city, out of the country..." " off the continent, you hear me?" " Yes, sir." "So who is this Mladinov guy?" "Goran Mladinov?" "He finished at the top of his class at Ft." "Bragg... then trained by Delta Command and the CIA..." "Serbian parents, raised in America, went back to Serbia to find his roots... ended up heading what's left of Vojnovic's Brown Hats." "Do they teach what he knew about that embassy in Bragg, General?" " No." " Then how did he know about it?" "Let's see." "I've been told that the metal detectors failed." "Could be a coincidence, but highly unlikely to me." "He could be a clairvoyant, but that would be a long shot." "I'm no intelligence officer, but if I had to guess... and I'm guessing now, I'd say Goran had people on the inside." "Which means..." "he may know everything you know." "And probably knows more than I know." "Standard operating procedure until you hear from me, General." "Gentlemen, he's going to kill everyone before we can get in there." "I say we go back to using Vojnovic and get Goran out of the embassy." "Have you been with us for the last two hours?" "I've been in touch with Interpol and come up with a few options." "Actually, a few very close choices to Vojnovic, all in Europe." "This isn't gonna work!" "Even if he buys it, it's only gonna work till they get together." "Right, at the airport, outside the embassy." "That's all we're trying to do." "Go back to the guy before, number two." "Borghelli." "Car thief turned chief." "Doesn't say of what." "It says, "chef", not "chief"." "Oh... right." "I do what I can." "Giorgio Borghelli?" "CIA." "You guys are fast, huh?" "Hey, Borghelli!" "Borghelli:" "This Vojnovic guy had taste." " Huh?" " Yeah." "You think I make this for you, I can keep the shoes, no?" "Cosmetician:" "Of course, sure." "Mamma mía..." "Look at this watch." "An important mission I'm helping with, no?" "I don't know why." "I don't even know one American." "Cosmetician:" "Is the camera ready?" "Okay." "You're not to do anything except sit." "And try to look like you're thinking about something important." "But that's difficult, no?" "I mean, who knows what could happen to me?" "I'm sure we could arrange for you to keep the watch." "All right." "And, a little trip to Miami, maybe?" "I've never been to America." "A little spending money?" "Five, ten thousand?" "We'll find somebody else." "Bene." "Take me back... finito." "No, you know too much." "What?" "Take me back." "The camera's not on, is it?" "I'm sorry you had to be involved in this." "Your "chief" Borghelli looks a little... chunky." "He's gotten fat." "Give him today's paper." "I want to speak to him." "We've got a problem with the sound." "We're gonna work it out." "We have a big problem with the sound." "We don't have any!" "Look, relax." "We can do this." "The moment I started looking for a face..." "I knew I needed a voice I could put with it." ""This little pig went to market..." "This little pig went home... this little pig had roast beef, this little pig had none." "This little pig went, 'wee, wee, wee, wee... "'" "Excuse me." "Go through that "wee-wee-wee" stuff again, please." ""This little pig went, 'wee, wee, wee, wee... "'" "Hello?" " That's it." " He's on the line... go!" "Colonel?" "Decoy:" "Captain... you have done well." "Your courage, and that of our men, has won the day." "I'm sure our countrymen will be very happy." "Your wife and daughters will be relieved." "Decoy:" "I understand." "Goran:" "I have arranged for a plane." "We brought our own pilot." "Excellent." "I guess..." "One daughter... one daughter." "One..." "Yes, you will." "Goodbye, sir." "Captain..." "Yes?" "Decoy:" "How long have I been away?" "Three months." "How is it possible my wife has had another daughter in that time?" "It is not, sir." "I understand." "I see you soon." "Nice recovery." "This is the fork." "The exit's that way." "Take care of him." "Dad...?" "What?" "When the guy had the gun in my face..." "I was thinking." "If I had listened to you, I'd probably be sightseeing right now." "Maybe it's not all you..." "you know?" "Maybe I'm just as bad at being a son, as you are at being a dad." "Take care of him." "Let's go, buddy... come on." " Seems like a nice kid." " He's a great kid; that's my problem." "You'll find a common ground." " We don't have anything in common." " Where have I heard that one before?" "Who said that?" "Did I say that?" "Maybe you just need to spend some more time together." "That, I've heard before." "You know, it's too bad you're not doing a little better financially." "You'd have some more free time to deal with your life..." ""Bubbles"." "Okay, Colonel, bring it in." "Reporter:" "The bus you're seeing will take the hostages to safety." "If the rumors are true that Colonel Vojnovic has been released... it would be a reversal of U.S. policy of no negotiations with terrorists." "Reporter:" "We're still waiting for confirmation..." "Wait a minute..." "There appears to be a group exiting the compound at this time." "I'm counting nine people being used as human shields..." "Goran:" "Go get them." "A woman has just burst out of the building..." "She has a gun..." " She's grabbing one of the hostages..." " No..." "Shit." "What the hell happened?" "!" "I wonder if you two could help me?" "Reporter:" "There's been no explanation..." "A man has just stepped out of the compound." "We can't tell whether he's a hostage, or one of the terrorists." "What is he doing?" "Reporter:" "He's walking toward military personnel... who have been on ready alert since this seige started five hours ago." "You are..." "General Swain?" "He said..." "you are a liar." "Where is the real Vojnovic?" "That is the real Vojnovic." "Please..." "you can't lie to me, sir." "He said he'll kill my wife if you don't tell me the truth." "I'm not lying to you." "Thank you, sir." " He'll kill my wife..." " Let him go." "Let me go!" "Bastards." "He's testing us, sir." "Getting a confirmation on Vojnovic." "Give me the Pentagon." "He said..." "that is the real Vojnovic." "Colonel Vojnovic had a few, shall we say, unusual habits." "He believed that every second of his time was precious." "He eliminated everything that might take that time away from him." "So... what is wrong with this picture?" "What's wrong in his dress, that is time consuming?" "Even in the smallest degree?" "Goran:" "Come on, come on, it cannot be so hard." "The shoes." "They have laces." "Goran:" "Laces?" "He never wore laces." "I know they don't get laces in prison..." "Those shoes..." "he would have had to buy." "Never." "Goran:" "That general knew what was at stake, and he lied." "He threw your husband's life away." "It wasn't me who killed him." "I put a little something in your pocket... that will show them what you're feeling." "You lied." "Reporter:" "A man is down on the ground." "There's total chaos at this time..." "I'm all right." "Someone's gotta call him." "I'm not calling him." "You should have told me about Vojnovic." "You should have told me this asshole was dead." "Pentagon:" "Sorry, General." "Couldn't chance a leak." "We are doing the best we can here, General." "Why do I have a feeling you don't have a clue what you're doing?" "If you have an alternate strategy, we'd love to hear it." "Okay, okay..." "codes." "You were, of course, thinking... that was the last place they were gonna look?" "I figured if they searched this far, they wouldn't notice." "Before all hell broke loose..." "I don't suppose you had time in your chat with the ambassador... to find out how to turn these things off?" "No." " No worries." " "No worries"?" " Kiss me for luck" " Last time we kissed, some very terrible people showed up." "Mitchell:" "Pretty good." "Stubbs:" "All right, listen." "I brought Swain up to date on those tunnels under the embassy." "And I've got technicians who can go down there with the codes... and get close to the bomb." "If the terrorists see them coming, that bomb's gonna start ticking." "No, no." "We should position them to get the jump on Goran." "That will allow them to get by, close to the bomb... they'll disarm it before he gets back to them... then, make a fast move..." "Or, we could... make it slower." "Could you run through that first part again?" "Yeah, that's fuckin' genius, Stubbs." "I got it." "It's gonna take hostages." "Well, so is waiting." "You got any ideas?" "I don't care who you are." "I only know that this museum is older than your country... and you are not digging a hole in the middle of it." "Hold on a minute." "Who the hell are you two?" "I'm afraid I can't tell you that, sir." "Swain:" "Who are they?" "That's on a need-to-know basis." "Top secret." "Bullshit!" " Buck..." " No, no, no." "If this is gonna happen on my watch over here... then somebody is gonna start talking, now!" "They're computer specialists, Buck." "There's an atomic bomb in that embassy that has to be disarmed." "It's in a small room attached to the rear tunnel in the schematic." "You could have told me that." "I'm sorry." "Sorry." "Watch where you're pointing that thing, huh?" "Cakewalk." "Oh... shit." "What did you just do?" "We got about ten seconds to pull one of these wires... red, white or green... isn't green your favorite color?" "All three?" "How did you know that?" " I didn't." " Hey... they didn't bring this briefcase down just for one of these things." "Probably got this entire matrix wired up down here." "Steve, come on." "We've got to do this now." "Baby, if I don't do that now, we can kiss that goodbye." "Get back!" "Mitchell:" "It's rigged, it's booby-trapped!" "Shit...!" "Red Caboose, Red Caboose..." "Delta Charlie, over." "Red Caboose, Red Caboose, Delta Charlie, over." "Radio:" "Yes, General, go ahead." "Who's this?" "It's Altschuler, computer technician." "The tunnels..." "they were rigged with explosives." "How many down?" "I'm the only one left, sir." "Can you make it back?" "Altschuler...?" "Yes, I can make it back." "Roger that." "Swain:" "I need to tell him about Vojnovic, now." "He's sitting on an atomic bomb." "That's the last resort." "You're not even sure he knows about that bomb." "Pentagon:" "No... but at least with an assault, we get the jump on him." "We tell him, he pushes the button." "Reporter:" "The man walking toward the embassy is General Swain..." "Man:" "Goran?" "I don't understand how you ended up here." "I never imagined you as a terrorist." "Freedom fighter." ""Freedom fighter"?" "Your cause doesn't define you as much as killing civilians." "Do you remember?" "I remember everything they taught me over there." "Your Colonel Vojnovic was killed leaving the prison today." "You kill another hostage, and we're coming in." "You may have time to kill half of them before I get in there... but we are coming in." " You have to surrender." " Surrender?" "I don't remember that class at Ft." "Bragg, Swain." "Goran..." "Goran..." "It would take an atomic bomb to keep me out of there." " Nice of you to join me." " Sorry I'm late." "I've initiated the sequence on both terminals." "Okay, okay..." "Okay, I got the primary, you've got the secondary." "Primary access code..." "Done." "You got the secondary access code?" "Done." "Disarmament activated, okay." "Time to detonation...?" "What?" "Erica, you got this?" ""Time to detonation"..." "The bomb is ticking." "Did any of what I was saying earlier make any sense?" "About us not getting what we deserve?" "Oh, God, you... you did this?" "You just lit the fuse on an atomic bomb." "For starters." "These guys shot their way in, these terrorist pricks, you let them in?" "They have not behaved as we had planned." "But somebody needed to keep the Army off while we get the money." "Money?" "What money?" "And where do you get this "we" stuff?" "The government will blame the terrorists for taking it." " Are you nuts?" " Okay... how about we teach our government a lesson for putting this thing here?" "Very moral bullshit." "How about 20 people dead up there, and there's gonna be two million?" "How about since I know you activated that bomb... you've got an override code?" "How about you give it to me, now?" "Steve... you've gotten everything you're going to get from me today." "Except for these." "Put 'em on." "Detonation in less than 30 minutes." "Buck..." "Goran didn't take your news well." "We should have done it my way from the get-go." "The president has given you the go-ahead." "Stubbs:" "Whatever means necessary." ""Wildfire" is hot." "Stubbs:" "The terrorists have activated the bomb." "I'm sorry." "Seems Goran's not angry enough about his dead colonel... to blow Bucharest off the map." "For $25 million dollars, the Brown Hats will let bygones be bygones." "Now that Vojnovic is dead, we should ask for someone else." "Yes?" "It's Swain." "Why don't we ask for money?" "Goran, for God sakes, what are you doing?" "Same thing we have been doing all day." "We still want that plane." "Fully fueled." "I need confirmation that nuke has been disarmed... or we're not talking any further." "You're under twenty minutes." "This is no time to play games." "What is it you want?" "Goran..." "Goran!" "Did you ever find Erica Long?" "What?" "Swain:" "All right, listen up." "Your lives, and those of thousands of others... as well as the reputation of your country depends on how fast you do your duty." "Move!" "Go." "Push these people down!" "Move!" "Down the stairs!" "Hostages are against the south wall." "Stay away from the south wall." "Go, go!" "Where is Goran?" "Bitch." "Move it, move it!" " Target secure, sir." " How long before we're toast?" " Nine minutes." " Where's the egghead?" "Sir?" "Sir, here I am, sir." "All right, let's go." "How much are you extorting them for?" "What do you care?" "I've trusted you with our cause." "When you told me about that cause, you never mentioned... putting a gun to a kid's head, or shooting a hostage every hour." "Is that how you intend to get respect for your cause?" "This coming from you... who's holding the whole city hostage?" "Now... you're gonna shut that thing down... and stand by, while I make some real demands." "Seems to me... we both got fucked here." "Maybe you got it worse." "Okay, Erica." "Game is over." "End of the line." "The jig, baby, is up." "Now, give me the code, before I kill you." "It's too late, Steve." "You shoot me, you never get past that bomb." "I can't do anything with it if you leave me here alone, can I?" "It was never supposed to go this far... but it's too late to change anything now." "Erica...!" "That's it." "Okay, get in there." "Go, go!" "Hey... hey!" "Have you seen Steve Mitchell?" "Jesus." "Trooper...?" " Dad!" "Hey, hey!" " What...?" " The tunnel was sealed." " Take my son outta here, please!" "Get him out of here!" "Hold it, hold it!" "I'm the bomb guy, don't shoot!" "I'm with the bomb!" "I gotta get to the bomb!" " You try all the back doors yet?" " Closed down." "I don't get it." "Damn, she loaded a virus in it." "Shit." "Any other back ways you know of?" "It's too late..." "It's just too late." " Think!" " I'm thinking, I'm..." "There's only one way we can go with this, and that's straight up." "General, I'll make a deal with you." "Give me a minute, will ya?" "You get my kid out, and I'll take this thing out by hand." "Got about, I guess..." "90 seconds." "Do it." "He's gonna take out the core of the bomb." "The radiation will melt him like butter." "Swain:" "Altschuler, shut up!" "Get movin'!" "Go!" "Go!" "Go!" "Swain:" "I said, go, Sergeant!" "I know he's doing this for his country, and all that..." "Hey!" "..." "I doubt that, son." "They don't pay enough." "Maybe he's doing it for all the people this has killed..." "Maybe he's doing it for you." "Think about that." "Now, run, boy!" "You got ten seconds, babe." "I love it when you're sentimental, Bubbles." " Calling me "Babe"." " Erica!" "Give...!" "Give me the code." "I just gave it to you." "Sir?" "Hi, what are you wearing?" "Twenty-five million dollars." "That ought to be enough to give you three days at Chanel." "Mitchell:" "Listen, downstairs, I was..." "I knew you wouldn't really let that bomb explode... would ya?" "Oh, Steve, you really should get to know me better." "I intend to, baby." "I'm comin' after ya." "Good." "I'm counting on it." "I can hear you breathing." "You know, you really should keep that phone close." "Erica:" "It'll make it easier for you to find me." "What's the matter?" "So, first night in town, what do you think we should do?" "Well, I hear the Romanian girls are pretty sexy." "No, you blew that one." "Had you fixed up... and what did you do?" "You got off the bus." " I never got on the bus." " Well, there you go." "Well, then I might as well go home and live with Grandma." "Grandma?" "Where'd you get that idea?" "Who said that?" "Did I say that?" "You're stickin' with me." "What do you say..." "we hang around Europe for a while?" "Another embassy?" "No, let's just say..." "I'm expecting a call."
