I'm not trying to start a problem.

I'm just saying.

No.

All you have to do is wait six months
and I'll be there.

I gotta go.

Listen, tomorrow we can figure this out.

We can handle this whole situation.

Hello?

Hello?

I'm going to talk today of the utmost
importance.

That's an order.

All right, sir. Mm -hmm.

You going to keep making that joke every
three weeks?

If you keep smiling, I'll keep making
it.

What's up with your ass, man?

How's he doing?

Fever's gone up to 102.

Oh, gosh.

I love you.

Okay. I love you. Mommy's got a phone.

I can have him?

He's with me today?

Thank you.

I love you. I love you, too. I love you.

You wearing that to the warehouse?

Yeah. It's a casual Friday today. Okay.

Bye.

So, when did you start?

About me. How did you do? Take a
sandwich or a pin?

Anything else, I'll hold up a knife.
Thanks.

Quiet.

You may be. You're kidding.

Little guy again?

He'll be fine.

PLA exercise in an hour. Really?

I thought they'd call it off. They're
trying to lower the temperature.

I guess they like it hot.

All right. Anything from Pyongyang?

Not since the last test.

They were rattling with silence. I'm not
sure which worries me more. Well, add

to it.

NSA is itchy about an uptick in chatter
between Tehran and their proxies. They

want it flagged in the morning book.

Okay, consider their assets covered.

What's that?

Butte County.

Over 100 ,000 homes at risk. That is not
the feed. Same monitor was acting up

yesterday. We called systems.

Okay, great. See you, Olivia. Bye. Hope
the boy feels better.

Sleep well.

All right. Cheers. Cheers. Thank you.

Hey, Officer David.

Morning, ma 'am. Got his update?

What?

Operation Don't Fuck This Up.

I'm picking up the ring tonight.

Well, that took you long enough.

All right, morning, everyone.

We'll push this in two hours. Let's get
to it.

He says the prenup is iron.

Those are the words he used.

Well, I don't have time. I don't have
time to find another lawyer. Not if I

to keep my job.

Let's go.

Goodbye. Thank you.

At 0930, the president visits a WNBA
clinic for kids.

Then we have the signing of the defense
bomb to the cells with the leaders in

the Roosevelt Room. We are cool for
that.

Then three hours of executive time.

And the new Irish ambassador is expected
to stop by around 1500, so there may be

a noble spray. And after that, it is a
full list.

I haven't heard that yet, but I'll ask
around.

What's going on?

Second time since Christmas? Uh, third.

Right.

I don't quarterly review, so I'm
drowning, so... Give me a shout -out if

world's going to end.

Yep. Sir, Mr. Chairman, out of you now.

Point of origin?

Lieutenant, point of origin. Trecon says
indeterminate.

The DSP satellite missed the launch.
Floating very quickly.

Say again, DSP missed the launch?

It doesn't matter who launched it, just
that we knocked it down.

Doesn't look like we'll have to.

TP2 Japan report, flight vector is
consistent with previous CPR cases.

Another yo -yo.

You know, Winslow's crew was on when the
last one popped off.

Said they were filling out back work for
a week.

Uh, Ms. Sullen?

This is the Wizard.

Sorry, ma 'am. Chief Petty Officer
Davis, White House Situation Room. Is

husband available?

Yeah.

Yes, thank you, ma 'am.

Apparently, the National Security
Advisor took a healthy hit of propofol.

I'll ask him.

Call the deputy. Morning, all. Pleasure
to see you. You ready?

Dr.

Hall is indisposed, sir, but we've got
Deputy National Security Advisor

Farrington with us. He'll be with you
shortly.

What is it, Sergeant?

K -Radar acquired our object.

And?

Rate of ascent slowing.

Inclination is flattening.

Velocity?

Steady, sir.

Six kilometers per second.

Is Cheyenne Mountain seamless?

You've been giving me this guy's big
break. Is that for a walk? Not good

Guys, let's keep working the phones,
everyone. If it is another test, I want

know within the hour, summarizing
regional reactions.

Think you better get back home? Yeah.

Ma 'am, I don't understand.

I'd second that impotence to the call.

Now, David, were you listening to that?
I was.

Yeah? Yeah, get to it.

Hey,

you got that? Yeah. Stay put.

You got that?

Authenticate.

Here,

here. Oscar, Bob Pratt, 4 -9 -0 -1.

Sergeant, you're doing fine.

We've trained for this a million times.
You're good.

Occupy Foxtrot 4916.

Order is authentic.

I'm sorry, say again?

We have weapons release authority to
launch our GBI's.

Everyone, relax.

Okay, rounding error.

This is still a commercial satellite
launch. Some billionaire forgot to file

right paperwork. Send his email.

Okay, folks.

Mr. Watts has been notified, adding
SecDef now. Right.

SIGINT indicates Moscow is aware of the
launch. They typically hear connectivity

along the DMZ. Could be an unknown
location, but they're not picking up the

best. Is this thing connected to the PLA
exercise?

Maybe Davis dated it so he could put off
proposing one more night? Exercise was

expected to be surface warfare only. No
SSBN. USS Ford reports multiple J -15s

now launching from the Fujian. We expect
that. Do we have a know what the

Chinese are doing?

Huh?

The car just backfired. People are
spooked.

I'd be more worried if they weren't.

Maybe what else?

Exercise could have been covered for a
preemptive strike. By sending one

at us? That's like suicide by a nuclear
cop. That's enough.

That's enough. Keep verify loose. Our
job is not to solve the puzzle. It is to

find the pieces, send it up the chain.

Okay? Principles need hard facts, not
speculation.

You find those, you raise your hand.
Speak up. Yes, sir.

We got this.

They need to analysis.

Check out the exhaust pump.

It's not good, sir.

We've run this drill a thousand times.
Want to get it up? Let's get strut cum

on the wall.

Russia

and

China's lines are busy.

Embassy? I have a baton.

Right, do you try to do admissions?

Of course.

Yeah, of course, because the whole world
is calling each other at the same time

to keep dialing. Just try it.

Thanks, man.

I miss you in New York.

I'll try to sort it later.

Can I go and get my phone? No, we have
to stay here.

Walker, is this real?

This is in from DraftCon.

Did you say Chicago?

Uh, yes, in the medium bucket.

Yes, yes, it's the White House.

White House, it's the White House. I
need a mandarin here in a minute.

Get him hungry. Thanks.

yeah my hands are a little cool here a
lot of device from your channel hey

we're

uh ordering speaking today you want no i
think i'm good

Izzy, did you hear anything about a
drone today?

Not that I know of.

Target,

the missile field is clear. Copy.

Target is coming into the intercept
window in three, two, one.

Activate launch.

Launch activated.

GBI 3 and GBI 4 airborne.

You can be released in 3 minutes, 17
seconds. Stand by for course adjustment.

I'm sorry,

I couldn't make it to your office.

This is Kathy Robinson with the Office
of National Continuity Programs.

I'm trying to find someone who can tell
me what the hell is going on.

Well, we received instructions to
initiate our joint emergency evacuation

Right, ma 'am. And what, do you expect
the Speaker of the House to make a run

for it without having a few questions
first?

No, I don't know what the Speaker of the
House... Are you telling me we're at

war all of a sudden?

With who?

The only thing I can do, I can confirm
the sheet board is authentic.

Thank you.

Admiral Miller.

That's me.

We need to move you to the PEOC, sir.

Okay, welcome.

No, we just can't leave. We need to make
an orderly transition to get the

flyaway team to Ravenloft.

Not everyone, but you, Gordon, Caldwell,
and Stern. Those are the names I have

in the cockpit.

One moment.

This is ridiculous.

Liv.

Come here.

Everyone back to it.

Yes, she is.

Come on, that's not how this works.

No, no, no. The president's going to
call the bunker.

He's going to expect you to answer.

He can't pick me out of the lineup. Come
on.

Besides, GBI's going to take this thing
right out, right?

If it's even real.

Hey, isn't it so good? I'm going to take
a picture of her. It's great to be able

to answer.

Sure.

Okay. Gordon, let's go.

All right.

Everyone, let's get moving.

What we do best. The president still
needs us.

Okay, thank you. I just... Hey.

I... I... I get it.

If the doctor can't save the day, can
you just maybe write him a prescription

something like that?

I'll adapt.

Hey, hun.

Is anything going on up there?

I don't know. Anything unusual?

And by, you can be released.

The fuck is going on, sir? You saw what
happened. We just lost our GBI's. Your

ass should be in the bunker, sir.

PKB status.

Bring up the face -back tilt system for
me. And by three, two, one.

Release.

First, EKV released.

Velocity 10 kilometers per second.
Closing in on target.

Second, EKV has failed to separate.

I'm sure it is a mistake, Mr. Leader,
and we'll turn you around right away as

soon as we confirm this.

It didn't work.

This is gonna be over in a minute,
right?

At the end of our shift, we're going to
be on our way home. You, look at me.

You're going to have a stop at that old
jewelry store, right?

When you look back at this drama, this
is going to be the second most exciting

thing that happened to you today.

Right?

Right.

The senator...

Got up and left in the middle of the
hearing.

EKV adjusting course.

21 seconds.

You okay, Sergeant?

Put up Strapcom's audio.

Seven.

Nine.

Eight.

Seven. Four with the chase. We're good.
I'm slob.

Five. And to hell with her, shouldn't
have left it like that.

Three, two, one.

Hold.

Come on, what are you waiting for?

Object remains inbound.

We did everything right, right?

Right?

We did every fucking thing right!

Major,

confirm the release of two additional
GBIs to intercept.

Major.

Danny.

Danny?

Danny, we gotta launch again, right?

Pull it up. Come on. Come on. Pull it
up.

Target has passed apogee and entering
terminal phase.

Sir.

I don't know.

They didn't let you take it.

Most of the Iron Gate list is on the
move, but they are not happy.

Any word?

Mike.

What's our casualty estimate for a
nuclear strike on Chicago?

What?

Seriously, this is starting to piss me
off. God damn it.

What is it, Kat?

10 million primary, another 10 %
downwind.

Russia, finally, the support minister
for the president. Great.

Sir, this is Captain Olivia Walker,
ranking officer on duty.

I will connect you with the president. I
can't. I can't. Where's the call?

What? What do you mean? Russia's on the
NC3.

Russia's on the hotline. He left a drop
-off, and we have to dial him in. So?

Can he do that? Well, he's in contact.
He's on the move. Plus, the time it

takes.

Stratcon is asking for launch
instructions for retaliation, like right

Okay, all right.

Sir, we're having technical issues with
the president. I'm going to get you

someone who can speak for him right now.

Please hold.

Billy, I want you to go and get myself,
get yours too.

Ma 'am.

Just go. Why are we launching? Quickly,
I'm asking. I can handle this.

Who's in charge there?

Do you put them on sale?

Can you monitor the MSCC?

Hey, Mom.

Yeah, no, I'm good.

I promise you, I'm doing great.

Yeah, no, I'm working hard. I'm doing my
best.

No, I just wanted to call you.

So you love me.

Alright, I'll call you later.

Yeah, I gotta go. They're calling me
right now.

fucking minute. How far is anyone gonna
get?

What's going on with her? She's already
gone.

Beijing station reports the PSP is
convening an emergency session.

Yes, I can get that for you right away.

Situation room, Walker?

Put me back on the energy.

Is it Russian?

He denied it. He said it might be
Pyongyang, but he swears they had

do with it. So why are they mobilizing?
Because they're seeing half our B -2s go

airborne. Now put me back on the...

I've been hearing about how that can't
be enough of a routine

Steven Rock is asking for names and
serial numbers of everyone still here on

duty. Socials for submitting the case.

If it's just Chicago, it's just Chicago.

Let it be fired back.

They need a deadline.

Okay. Okay.

Hey. Listen to me again, Liam. Get in
the car and just start driving.

Right? What are you talking about? West.
Go west. Go west as fast as you can.

Get away from any urban centers you can
get. Liam, what the fuck was going on

there?

They'll wait, right, to see what happens
before they were telling you.

Any chance to close the door?

A lot of times they don't even let me.

Dean? General.

Goddamn, Lindor. It's a great shortstop,
man.

Tell me you watched that All -Star game,
please.

Did your boys dance that late?

You're just giving me a choice?

No. No, they do not.

50 ,000 deaths in three days. Awesome is
one word.

Hey, are you tracking this? I don't
remember anything from the Ops and Intel

briefing this morning.

This is for me, Dan. I'm looking into
it.

Did you see that?

On it.

Morning, everybody. Please take your
seats.

What's the situation?

Sir, we have missile launch indications
on Pacific Theater. The DDO is standing

up a national security conference.

Sir, no update yet, but I'm hoping to
have one soon.

Did you see that ball game last night?

Yes, sir.

You believe that Lindor?

Yes, sir.

Unbelievable.

Yep, it's all good news.

Okay.

Okay, I'll tell him.

Love you.

My mom wants to know if you're going to
Helsinki next week. She must have seen

it on the view or something.

No. No, I won't be there. But the
briefing I wrote has a really nice first

scene. If you're really not that happy,
I told you I can talk to me about the

committee. No, don't talk to me.

The staff director's a letter of relief.

I can't go back to the Hill and say,
uh... It's just... What?

It's a bad idea.

To be working in such close proximity to
my radiant wife.

You think that she'll inherit your
capacity for ass -kissing bullshit?

Hey, it's Jake Yeah

That we know of.

Eight sugars, please.

Who is that?

There's a reason I didn't join the Navy,
son. All that bouncing around is making

me seasick.

in previous leaps in booster design and
pedals, have gone and detected the

roller.

Thank you.

Mr.

Berend. Hello, sir.

I do think we need to upgrade our
salvage operations.

We're leaving potentially valuable
intelligence on the ocean floor.

Sir.

Excuse me a moment. What?

No way that's right.

Growth comp confirms.

Forkweed is prepared to launch GBI.

Sorry about that. Seems we have an
update.

Current velocity indicates the object
will go sub -orbital.

Current flight trajectory is consistent
with impact somewhere in the continental

United States.

Holy shit.

What's your level of confidence on that,
Tony?

Dot error.

We're tracking it on multiple radar
systems now.

I'm told high, Jerry. We have dual
phenomenology on the track.

Nineteen minutes to impact.

Confirming DEFCON 2.

We have a confirmed hostile launch,
everyone.

Initiate phase one. We'll plant 8044.

Revision 25.

Standby all command.

Hey,

hey, Jake, what are we doing?

Sorry, come on.

Tell her I said hi.

You have someone you can call who will
tell us just what the hell's going on.

Don't let us hold you back.

Sir, put your phone in the tray, please.
Just one sec. I don't have one sec.

I'm sorry.

Sorry, General. I wasn't talking to you,
sir. Then who in the hell were you

talking to?

Do we have any E .T. reporters yet? It
occurs to me, do we have Cobb

responsibility here?

I'll be taking your questions in the
later briefing this morning, so if you

just hold them until then.

I'd be guessing.

North Koreans.

Fuel shortages, crop failures, maybe
they're more desperate than we thought.

Or it's Moscow, and they want us to
think it's the North Koreans.

Moscow knows what mortality is. Do they?

Assassinating dissidents wherever they
please, imprisoning Americans, Ukraine,

and what we confiscated through their
yachts in Saint -Tropez.

single, unattributed strike.

So is chaos.

It puts us on our heels.

And it gives them an opportunity to see
if they can get away with worse.

Gives everyone that opportunity.

That's some fucking stuff Captain woke
up on. Not his wife left him and

Told you I'm guessing.

Really better not fuck this up.

Have an updated impact estimate.

1700 next Tuesday.

I think I can meet this girl at the
Applebee's before they close.

You're taking dates at the Applebee's?
But she works there. Don't ask.

Yes, in the medium bucket.

Yes,

sir.

General Brady should answer that.

I should stay in my lane, sir.

But... Honestly... Interceptors have
launched, everyone. Interceptors have

launched.

It depends on our circumstances.

Okay, when we... When we test... When we
test, we

can't control... Once the kill vehicle
separates,

our mid -course intercept system...

Desperate 61%. We

were talking about hitting a bullet with
a bullet.

I need you to come with me here.

Is everything okay?

Marty, where are you going?

What are the odds this is an intentional
strike?

The odds, I'd put them at 75%. I'd say
80%. All doors back, I'm closer to

50%. Okay, is there anyone on the call
that can do better than a shot in the

dark gets us? We're not handicapping the
fucking army.

Mr. President?

Yes?

Who's that?

It's Jake.

We actually met.

briefly before the G8 last year.

If we could get Anna Park, she's the
national intelligence officer for the

She'll have a more informed view on
North Korean intentions and

How do I talk to her?

We're getting her for you, Mr.
President.

There was a launch, Anna, about 10
minutes ago, not a test.

Okay, we need answers.

It started with, does the CPRK have an
empathy and capability that we don't

about? And how likely is it that there's
a human initiated strike?

i'm sorry i'm off today where are you
what the hell please

i can't answer other questions with
certainties

but yes they've absolutely been seeking
a c -based launch capability they

deployed a modified romeo class sub two
years ago carrying

Sir, they may believe that they can
survive a retaliatory strike.

Given their command and control at
mobile launch, this is entirely

And then negotiate relief for
themselves.

No more launches in exchange for aid.

I think they can blackmail us.

If you're losing a board game, you might
as well topple it.

Ms. Park, this is General Brady at
Stratcom.

Last time I checked, Moscow's not
exactly winning the game either.

They've grown far more aggressive with
their sub -deployments.

Where exactly in the Pacific did the
launch originate?

We can't be precise, ma 'am.

DSP satellites missed it.

You're fucking kidding.

Well, why the hell does that matter?

We're trying to come down, aren't we?
Yes, Mr.

President, we are. It's just that
blinding a DSP satellite, it could

that we've been compromised.

A cyber penetration of our command and
control systems.

Which would strongly suggest...

A sophisticated, coordinated assault
that is only just beginning.

General, there's no hard evidence of
that. We need more information. The

Navy has been experimenting with AI
-assisted launch systems, so this could

technical mishap.

All right.

That's enough of this. This is always
just a... Sir, a cyber expert could

potentially be... We've got to find one.

Okay? PKB is separated from the first
GBI.

One minute to intercept.

Huh? What happened?

Like Baker said, coin toss.

Mr.

President, confirming DEFCON 1, sir.

There is no plan.

Mr. President, significant time and
expertise were devoted to designing

options. You'll find a range, select
limited and major, depending on the

of the response you feel is warranted. I
suggest you allow Lieutenant Commander

Reeves to brief you.

3055 Brent High Class Destroyer is on
the move. Jesus Christ, I got action in

Karamabad.

Sirens and television, sir. Everybody
knows we missed.

Mr. President, we're seeing some
concerning activity from our adversaries

number of levels.

Sir, the USS Virginia reports it's just
lost contact with its shadow, one of

four Russian submarines we're tracking
in the North Atlantic, each presumably

armed with 16 SLBMs.

Until we know differently, we have to
assume this may get worse.

There is no way he can make an informed
decision under these circumstances.

These are the circumstances.

In little more than seven minutes, we
will lose the city of Chicago.

I can't tell you why.

Or why we're seeing North Korea, Russia,
China, Pakistan, and even Iran raising

their alerts and mobilizing their forces
across air, land, and sea.

Perhaps, as Mr. Barrington suggested
earlier,

Or,

this is all part of a phased,
coordinated assault with far worse to

simply don't know. What I do know is
this. If we do not take steps to

our enemies now, we will lose our window
to do so we can strike preemptively

or risk 100 icbms launching our way at
which time this war will have already

been lost if there is no

war i think we'd all welcome any
indication of that

As unfathomable as it was just five
minutes ago, I'd accept the loss of 10

million Americans if I could be
absolutely certain it stops there.

Of course, in absence of that certainty,
we can all certainly say a prayer and

rely on the goodwill of our adversaries
to keep us safe. Or we can hit their

command centers, silos, and bombers
while they're still on the ground,

eliminating their ability to take
further action against us.

We've already lost one American city
today.

How many more do you want to risk?

No, sir.

This is reality.

Six minutes to impact.

Walker, she's got the Russian foreign
minister on the line. We can't merge the

call.

Jake, the sit room has the Russian
foreign minister on the line, but we

merge the call.

You need to pick up and take it.

It has to be you.

Okay?

The president needs a reason not to
retaliate, okay? You give him one.

You ready? Yeah.

Let's go.

This is Jake Barrington. I'm the Deputy
National Security Advisor.

I'm authorized to do whatever is
necessary to de -escalate the situation,

Mr. Foreign Minister, you have to
understand that's only a precaution.

Our country is about to be hit by an
entirely unprecedented and unprovoked

attack.

Do I have your word on that?

Can I assure the president that Russia
has nothing to do with this, that

not behind the launch, and they will not
seek to capitalize?

Yes.

And do I have your word that you won't
use it as an excuse to wipe us out?

That's ridiculous.

You have a sub on the coast that just
slipped its shadow. Order it to the

surface. To identify its location as a
show of good faith. So you can wipe it

out of the water? We are running out of
time.

And my wife is... Jake.

I'm sorry.

Jake?

If we get this wrong, none of us are
going to be alive tomorrow.

Now, if you're telling me that you
didn't do this...

I completely agree.

And I will push for that. But that is
not my decision, sir. If you do it away,

can you guarantee that your response
will not infuse in our airspace?

With our bombers, yes.

Of course.

And missiles?

If you determine that that fucking China
is responsible... Sir, there...

Sir, we both know that there would be
some overflight.

And there's no way around that. And you
expect us to simply trust that warheads

flying over our head are not destined to
our cities?

Is this Rex?

Darkstar Ghost, MTP confirmed.

Ghost, Darkstar, stand by execution
order.

Forward to Floyd and P2s, are at loading
position.

Mr. President, we're going to need your
decision.

Lieutenant Commander Reeves is your
strike advisor and can walk you through

authentication process.

Then you'll need to read aloud an attack
option designation.

It's all right.

No, no. Keep your seat. Keep your seat.

Keep your seat.

He denied the responsibility for the
launch.

He said he spoke to Beijing, and he
doesn't think it was them either.

I believed him, sir.

Are you dead?

Are they going to back down?

Sir, I think that they want to.

And if we can guarantee that we will not
retaliate, I think I can...

can convince them.

He didn't agree to anything, sir. He
said he needed to speak with his

Sounds to me like we know nothing new.

Two minutes and thirty seconds.

your choices are surrender or do it.

So what now? What are you doing?

Now I call Fort Belvoir, put the Army
Corps of Engineers on standby.

In case the White House gets hit, we
need to dig us out.

Are you serious?

That's what the plan says.

There's a plan for this?

Delta, Foxtrot, Echo.

Missilization orders on that.

Romeo, Bravo, Juliet, Swift, Delta,
Foxtrot, Echo.

I approve of missilization.

Three, two, one, touch. Sir, standing by
for fire orders.

Sir, your nuclear forces are ready.

What if he doesn't come back on?

Decapitation event.

we find the vice president yeah i can't
reach him speaker right on down the list

November Delta Oscar 1117.

National command authority confirmed.

Your orders, Mr. President.

You sure you don't want any coffee?

Water?

No, thank you ma 'am.

That's looking more like it.

Nope.

I'm playing nine.

It's going, I guess.

Last time I was around all these
uniforms, I was a private.

Thanks George, I appreciate it.

You were lucky to have 33 great years.

And the world, you and Sheila, came to
the funeral.

My husband the only politician who can't
lie

They, uh, promised that, uh, we'd get
used to it after a while.

Speaking of, we have to talk about my
mother.

Now the doctor is saying she needs...
Hello?

Are you there?

It's not just me, it's the doctor.

Okay. I mean, you know...

Let's do it when you come back, all
right? It's not fair that you got to

the elephant's high ground.

I always have the high ground, and don't
you forget it, buddy.

You all right, though?

Hey. You okay?

Can you hear me?

Hello?

Hon, can you hear me?

Bruce, what do we have now?

Hey Betty, can you ask the

guy that put the...

installing that thing what happened
right just i don't know what's going on

Oh, man.

What's the name of the school that put
the class?

The Jump Shot Girls Basketball Camp.
Jump Shot. Jump Shot.

How's your jump shot, Ken?

Not bad, sir.

How about yours?

I'll have the knees.

After the budget signing, I've plotted
some prep time for the hearing next

Which one is that?

House Oversight, the Rescue Shipping
Task Force.

Right.

Sure.

Okay.

Who's asked, am I kissing first?

Senator Cunningham, Democrat,
Connecticut.

supported the additional funding from
the start.

This is Secretary Baker.

I'm glad to have you.

How's my tag?

Good, sir.

Mr. President,

how's it

going today?

It's been good.

Ladies and gentlemen, the president of
the United States.

How you doing?

How you doing?

Authenticator. They said I gotta teach
you something and I'm not gonna teach

how to shoot. I know you can do that,
but I'm gonna tell you a little story

about how sports helped change my life.

Growing up, I wasn't athletic like Angel
here. I wasn't athletic. I couldn't

play football.

I couldn't really do that.

My mom and pop had, you know, store
convenience back in Omaha.

Unless you're gonna miss this.

This is my third.

They're all chronically late
narcissists.

At least this one was consistent.

My understanding was we initiated on
launch. There are people moving.

We got a legal opinion on that.

I need time to sort it later. And if
you're going to start moving people, I

we'll be caught with our pants down.

I have an updated impact estimate.

Go ahead, Tony.

Full probability, Louisville, St. Louis.

Medium, Chicago, Indianapolis.

High, Cleveland, Columbus.

That's primary, of course. Still
assessing prevailing winds.

Jesus Christ.

This is why we have the GBI.

No need to panic, people.

Did you say Chicago?

You know, if you're going to fix the
world's problems, we're going to have to

work together.

Teamwork, as we have been talking about.

I also think that I won't get to play
for Team USA.

Yeah. Hey, we need to follow them.

Quickly, if we can.

How's it going, Mom?

I don't know. Go, go, go, go, go, go,
go!

Good, good.

The United States is under attack, sir.

So it's a fucking coin toss?

That's what $50 billion buys us?

We're talking about hitting a bullet
with a bullet.

Oh.

Oh, can anyone hear me? Mr. President,
let's get you up to speed.

Near a space in Chicago.

I don't think there is one. Anywhere
that has a helicopter.

I can try National Guard. We need to
find Carrie.

Have her picked up. This thing is 15
minutes. Hurry.

Reed, are you still there?

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I'm here.

Yeah, I'm here. I'm here. What do you
make of all this? I really don't know.

You don't know?

They went in the fucking Pentagon.

They had one briefing when I was sworn
in. One.

And they told me that's the protocol.

Shit, I got a whole fucking briefing on
what a Supreme Court justice does.

Replacements. Replacements. What happens
if the replacement drops out?

Shit, what to do if the original guy
crawls out of his grave and wants his

back? We focused on more likely
scenarios.

Things we might actually have to deal
with.

Yeah, well, what do you know about that?
Best I can remember, we followed the

steps. We were following procedure.

Negative. That's 20 minutes from the
stop line.

Hello? What, an antenna?

Shit.

Miss Park, this is the president.

I understand that you're the expert.

There was a launch and...

Hi.

Please don't send me the voicemail.

It's your father. It's an emergency.

Call me.

Did you reach anyone?

I'm on with Great Lakes Naval Station.

Maybe they can trace your phone.
Transport's ready. Let's go, Sergeant.

Go where?

NMCC's initiated IV post.

Helo's inbound. I didn't ask for that.

What about this call?

Thank you very much. Can you hold on one
minute? What's happening here? You're

supposed to stay on this call.

The secretary needs to evacuate.

All right. Can I speak to you in the
hallway, please?

Enough of this. This is always the time.
Sir, a cyber expert could

potentially... Yeah, we'll find one.

Okay?

Four minutes to the LTC, sir.

Ten seconds.

Nine.

Eight.

Seven. Six.

Five. Four.

What the hell is that book house?

Further provisions of Oakland 8044,
revision 25, the NFCC requests authority

initiate a counter strike.

The green tabs are SAOs, yellow, LEOs,
and red, MAOs. Within each

section, your options are organized by
region. On each page, you'll find the

designation number, both the map and the
list of targets, along with enemy

casualty estimates.

Where would you like to begin?

More concerning than a goddamn nuclear
launch?

I know, I... Where are you?

Please, please.

is going with you to work.

What kind of fucking question is that?

This is insanity, okay?

Lieutenant Commander Reed, sir.

How old are you, man?

Thirty -two, sir.

Got a family?

Have a wife, sir.

89 targets, mostly military
installations and leadership sites.

As of last month, we have a B -2
Squadron Ford deployed. We'll also

Ohio -class sub.

Each with 24 Trident II D -5 MIRV
-equipped ballistic missiles.

This option calls for a dozen men in bed
as well.

Honestly, Joe, we're not in again.

When I woke up this morning, we were
certain the North Koreans could not

from a sub.

And now maybe they can.

The plan assumes our target list is
incomplete, but by taking out the most

critical command and control centers, it
significantly lowers the chance of

another... Or it revolves one.

Right?

Oh.

My job is to explain your options and
execute your orders. I'm not qualified

that. I've never seen it before. It's
like a fucking diner menu. I'm asking

your help, son.

I actually call them rare, medium,

You can hope this is a fluke or a one
-off that whoever did this just stops

You always don't have any follow me
around with that book of plans.

A weapon like that.

Just getting ready is the point.

It keeps people in check.

Keeps the world straight.

If they see how prepared we are, no one
starts a nuclear war.

Right?

Like you said before, insanity.

The genie's out.

If we do nothing, the bad guys see that
they can get away with it.

I was listening to this podcast, and the
guy said, it's like we all built a

house filled with dynamite.

Making all these bombs and all these
plans, and the walls are just ready to

blow.

You're going to hit back, sir.

MA07 or MA09.

End it now.

Once and for all.

Best chance some of us survive this.

What was that?

What was that? What was that?

What was that?

Are they going to back down?

What?

What does that mean?

So we just sit back and watch Chicago
incinerate.

Are you fucking kidding me? Do you think
the American people are going to go for

that?

Did he agree to these terms?

All right, we do nothing.

They back off for certain.

More or less, Jake, I'm going to need
you to breathe.

Good, because my job is to make this
decision. I wish it weren't.

And your job is to tell me exactly what
you agreed to.

All right?

No bullshit. Can you do that?

I do what you're suggesting, and let
whoever did this get away with it.

How is that any different from
surrendering? Sir, if you want to look

way, then I'm telling you you're doing
this for surrendering for suicide.

We only need a minute.

They want me to

retaliate.

It's a lot of lives.

A lot of lives.

And if I don't... Are you there?

Are you there?

Howdy.

You did what?

All right, I'm here.

You'll need your SAS card, sir.

Read it aloud.

November, Delta, Oscar, 1117.

November, Delta, Oscar, 1117.

National Command Authority confirmed.

Your orders, Mr.

President. My orders.
