Original subtitles

We're here.

We came as soon as we could. What's the problem?

There must be some kind of mistake. We have no problem.

You do now.

Here we are.

- We're complete. - Good.

Come to sector A-4, now.

This way.

We got what we came for.

- All of it? - Enough.

Let's get out of here.

- This way. Peterson. - Sir.

Wait for my cue, and then proceed as planned.

The area is completely surrounded.

I'm aware of that. Wait for my cue, and then proceed as planned.

I'll meet you on the fourth floor in five minutes.

You come with me.

Here. This will do.

I got it.

Watch out!

Delta team, get us some covering fire!

60. Delta team, up there on the flank.

Let's go!

File out! Open two. Let's go.

Move! Move! Move! Move!

Move it! Move it!

I'll meet you at the elevator.

Heavy incoming fire!

Is he all right?

He's fine. He'll be here any second.

Peterson. The time is now, man. Get on the move.

Go! Go!

Look out!

All right. Go on.

We are currently in hot pursuit.

We are in hot pursuit.

Chopper One. I'm still on his tail.

Get down!

Drive faster!

- Hit the brakes! - What?

Hit the brakes!

We're all set.

One of you can cut out early if you'd like,

- I need the overtime. - Then that would be me.

Oh, that's because I beat ya last time.

Come on now. Play fair. High card?

I'm gonna take you this time.

Looks like you finally won one, Mike.

Nut 30 fast.

I can see myself now sitting by the pool...

sipping my margarita while you guys toil away here.

That's better than a two.

That's it. I'm through betting.

Come on. We've got to meet the envoy,

- Don't forget to fill out your report before you go. - Okay.

Hello. I'm Officer Henderson.

This is Officer Jeffers. We're heading up the security here today.

We just thought we'd introduce ourselves and go over the agenda.

Well, I'm pleased to meet you. This is State Senator Cook.

And this is his press secretary, Janine Simpson.

I'm producing the campaign spot. I'm Steve Johnson.

I want to do a quick tour, shoot the senator's dialogue and we're out of here,.

Less than an hour hopefully. Is that cool with you?

Well, Officer Jeffers will be happy to answer...

- any questions you have. - I have a question, Officer Jeffers.

You're one of the last of 60 people here who were laid off...

since this facility was decommissioned.

How do you feel about that?

The senator is against the closing of the plant.

I'm against the loss of jobs for people like Officer Jeffers here and, uh-

Henderson. That's right.

Senator, most of the people were highly-trained scientists and technicians...

who won't have any trouble finding new jobs.

The rest of us had plenty of warning, sol don't see what the issue is.

Ah, well...

officer, I guess we just have to agree to disagree.

All right.

I've got no time for that kind of silliness.

Sir, we should really get started.

The morning light makes you look ten years younger.

You are, as always, correct.

Okay, one of you guys has tour duty. I want you out there in 15 minutes.

- I'll do it. - Wait a minute. What are you volunteering for?

You don't want to supervise that group any more than I do.

- Someone has to. - Yeah, but at least you could fight me for it.

- He feels bad for you, Mike. - Why?

You always lose, every time.

No, I don't.

Okay. All right. I do. But that's because you guys...

always use those stupid games of chance to make decisions.

If you guys would use something meaningful for once, something deep--

Like trivia, ask me a sports trivia question.

Anything. If I don't get it right, I will do the tour.

Well, he does know a lot about sports.

- He's lost money on all of'em. - And don't give me an easy one. Make it hard.

Who were the original hosts of Monday Night Football?

Howard Cosell, Dandy Don Meredith and Frank Gifford.

Wrong. Gifford wasn't till the second year.

- Keith Jackson was the first year. - Get outta here!

He's right.

- Damn. - Have fun, guys.

Keith Jackson?

Intelligence says security is pretty much at a minimum.

We should be able to just walk in there.

Gentlemen, prepare yourselves.

It won't be long now.

- Henderson. - I'm here.

Monitors are on the blink again, but I think I saw stragglers out by the front gate.

I'm gonna try and get 'em pointed in the right direction.

- But keep an eye for 'em, all right? - Will do.

I had a feelin' I'd be seein' you.

Who were the original hosts of Monday Night Football?

Howard Cosell, Don Meredith...

and... Keith Jackson,

You said Frank Gifford, right?

It's a trick question.

- I thought you were gonna give up betting? - I am.

- Starting now. - I'm glad to hear that.

Well, you're all set here.

- I'll be back at the office if you need me. - Okay.

Keith Jackson?

Hey, guys!

You must be lost. Your crew's on the other side of the compound.

I'll show you. If you go right-

- What the hell is this? - I'm sorry.

Intelligence said the place would be empty.

"Intelligence said-" Well, they were wrong,

Now we've got a different situation to handle before we can move.

The entrance is clear, sir. We're all set to go.

- Good. We have to move now. - So, uh, what do we do?

Get in the facility. You cut the telephone lines and we shoot them all.

What is that thing?

I'm not sure. It must be some kind of nuclear transport truck.

Let's go.

Senator, when you're done powdering your nose, your crew is ready.

I'm ready now.

Tell me, Officer Jeffers. Does one need...

a high school diploma to become a security guard?

I don't know. But I did eight years in the air force...

and got myself a master's degree just to be safe.

Hey, there!

- Don't do anything. - Are you two looking for the senator?

Yes, but I'm afraid we got lost. The gentleman...

back at the gate must have given us the wrong directions,.

Well, I don't have either one of you on the list, so it's already gotten started.

- Do you mind filling me in? - It's nothing special.

Just some politician makin' a TV commercial for himself.

- Bunch of hooey if you ask me. - How big is the crew?

Just a handful.

Well, that's no problem at all.

- Where are they? - They're up on the roof.

- Gotta go. - Thanks.

Take care of him.

What about the criticism that closing this plant would eliminate 60 jobs?

That's an excellent question.

First of all, I'd like to remind you that I opposed...

the closing of this facility.

Now I served in Vietnam...

and I know firsthand the importance of continuing programs...

that promote national security,.

However, in this case, most of the employees...

are highly skilled scientists and technicians...

who are very much in demand.

So the threat to jobs is not really that much of a concern.

Any other questions?

Well, I guess we can begin a tour of the facility.

Officer Jeffers will lead us. Hm?

This way, folks.

Hey, what are you dam"?

Easy.

I'm sorry.

They look bored. Maybe you could, uh...

expand your tour, do a little juggling act, something like that?

I'm not a tour guide, Senator. I'm just here for your safety.

I'd expect more than that from a man with a master's degree.

What were your fields of study?

Basket weaving, physical education?

Well, in the air force, I got real good at peelin' potatoes for eight years...

but my degree is in political science.

Speaking of which, what prompted you to want to become a state senator?

Couldn't hack it on the federal level?

I can hack it on any level, mister.

I served in Vietnam.

Yeah, I think you mentioned that about six times in your speech.

Well, come on, people, let's go.

Well, with all the workers gone, the jobs gone...

the place looks like a ghost town.

As you can see, it looks like they made good on their word...

and decommissioned this place,

Used to be a thriving community.

Well, folks, I think that's all there is to see. Why don't we start heading back?

I think that's an excellent idea.

I think we've got enough footage.

Senator, we could still use a few close-ups.

No, I think the people have seen quite enough. Besides...

my best light's already gone by,

Get back to the plant as quickly as you can. Move, now. Go.

Oh, my God!

Go! Go!

Go!

- What's going on? - I tripped the alarm.

This whole section's gonna seal off. Come on, let's go!

Come on!

Breem, did we get everybody?

Oh, shit.

Where's Breem? Breem.

- Yeah., - Did we get everybody?

- Looks like we got everyone, yeah. - Good. Let's get down to business.

Wait! There's someone missing.

Where's the security guard?

- Where is he? - I-I don't know.

Breem, there is no time for this.

The whole mission's in jeopardy.

Which way did they move?

- That way. - Good.

You go back and work on the device with Peterson.

We have a job to finish.

This way.

Come on. Go. This way.

- They'll be comin' right behind us. - Calm down.

There's a couple of hundred rooms in this place.

They won't know where to find us.

And I'm gonna make it even harder.

Come on.

- Phone's dead. He must've cut the lines. - What are we gonna do?

Keep your voice down. You got a cell phone?

- Borden here. - Joe, it's Mike Jeffers out at San Miguel.

Hey, Mike Jeffers. Hope you're callin' to tell me you got my money.

I'm calling you from a cell phone. Listen, we got an emergency.

We're under attack by I don't know who.

Attack. All right, let me guess, you're the only survivor.

Shut up and listen to me.

I don't have much time here. I'm hiding out in the plant.

I need you to send help ASAP.

- Look, if this is some kind of joke, I don't- - It's no joke.

- People are dead , Joe. - All right, I'll-

I'll get a car over there. Oh, hey. What's your number?

- Sol can call you back. - What's the number on this phone?

Um, it's, uh, 555-0235.

555-0235.

Be careful. I don't know how many of'em are out there.

All right. Pete, call the power plant and see if the phones are workin'.

- You got it. - Hey, Bear, see N we gut a patrol car 'm that area.

Right.

I've no time for this. I have to go back.

Find any survivor and kill them.

Then report back to me.

We're here on site. I don't see anybody. Gate's open.

We're proceeding into the facility.

Oh, my God.

Dispatch, we've got a massacre at San Miguel.

Get some backup down here as soon as possible.

- Shots fired! - Get back to the car!

Pull back to the car and report.

Take cover! Get back to the car! Do you read me, over?

I got to go back up there.

What do you mean?

Why don't we just wait here till everything calms down?

I don't think so. Call me crazy, but I'd like to know what just happened.

Maybe I'll come back with some good news.

- I'm goin' with you. - That's not a good idea.

No. You have a gun, and I have a rule. Stay close to the guy with the gun.

- You can't leave me here! - Then come with us.

- I'm not going back out there. - Look...

I'm just gonna do a quick recon. I'll be back in less than 15 minutes.

- How are we doing? - Right on schedule.

How long until it's up?

- A couple of hours, at most. - Good. Very good.

There has been a slight change.

- Have you placed the charges yet? - That was Steele's job.

Steele is dead. Now it's your job. Go!

Place a charge at every exit and entrance.

No one can get out or in until I say so.

One other thing, you'd better obey and follow my orders.

Or I'll put a bullet in your head,

I don't care how smart you are.

- Is this clear? - Yes, sir.

All right. Set up a perimeter!

And nobody do anything till I give you the high sign!

- The Department of Defense is being contacted. - Okay.

- Do you want us to check out inside? - No. We'll just sit tight.

See what Mike has to say.

So, uh, what are ya, Green Beret or a Navy Seal?

- What? - Well, you said you were in the army, didn't ya?

Air Force. I was head of security at the base, nothin' fancy.

Oh, great, a lifetime security guard.

Hey, from what I can see, my job’s a hell of a lot better than yours.

Don't rub it in.

I always wanted to be a news reporter. You know, grab the big headline?

Seemed like every major story slipped right through my fingers.

Hell, I'm lucky! have this crappy job.

Join the club.

- "Vibrate"? - Sorry.

Yeah.

Mike, it’s Joe. We got a blockade set up out here.

What the holy hell is going on in that plant?

It's bad,Joe. Charlie and Rick are dead.

Christ.

Who else besides you and those sons of bitches are in that plant?

State Senator Cook and his press secretary.

I think everybody else is dead.

I'm still trying to figure out what's goin' on in here.

Looks like they're working on some kind of bomb.

All right, look. Find a safe place and wait this thing out.

Yeah.

- How long ago did this call come in? - About ten minutes ago.

Any word yet on who these people are?

- Jack should give us the details. - Let's hope it's nothing.

- Thank God you're here. - Bring us up to date.

I got a call from the San Miguel Police Department.

They're reporting that their nuclear plant...

has been assaulted by a possible terrorist group.

- Oh, sews. - There's a possibility...

this is related to the incident last night at Cyberdyne Systems.

I got Sheriff Borden on line two.

All right, put him through.

- Sheriff, it's Alan Gould. - Two of my best men are dead.

Who knows how many more inside.

Look, we’re just a small town department...

so unless you want a lot more people dying...

I suggest you get some of your expert government guys down here pronto.

Yeah, we're workin' on it. Do you have any idea who these people are?

Nope. There's a security guard on the inside...

that's in communication with me by cell phone.

He says he thinks they're building some kind of bomb.

So I guess we'll be hearing somethin' pretty soon,.

But, listen, they're serious about killing.

The next guy they kill just might be your boy, Senator Cook.

Shit. That's just what we need, a dead senator. Live ones are bad enough.

All right. Keep us up to date on everything, Sheriff.

We've got government intelligence working on this as we speak.

"Government intelligence."

Okay, guys. It looks like it's up to us...

and Mike.

Man, I hope you're on your first lucky streak.

- How do we spin this? - We don't.

The press is blacked out. Get me Washington on the line how.

Jack? Gonna need you to set up communications.

I'm gonna go check out down there.

See what's goin' on around the corner.

To think I almost voted for you.

Wait! Wait!

I'm sure we can come to some sort of an agreement on this.

Nah, how about I just kill you...

and save the taxpayers all that retirement loot you're gonna collect?

But... I'm a senator!

- Oh, my God! - Wait. Wait.

Are you all right?

Yeah.

Shoot him. Shoot him! He was gonna kill me!

What's goin' on out there?

Sorry, can't he": you.

I will shoot you. Talk.

You know, Sheriff, maybe you and Mike are friends and all, but...

I got to tell you this setup's way too familiar for my likin'.

- What are you drivin' at, Reed? - Well, nobody wants to mention it...

- but a lot of guys are startin' to talk, - About the Parsons thing?

Well, yeah.

I mean,jeffers is in there alive. Everybody else is dead...

- including Charlie and Rick, - Hey, don't push me, Reed.

Okay, you may have heard the stories, but do you know the facts?

Do you?

No, but I'm listenin'.

Well, everybody knows Mike Jeffers...

was sheriff down in Parsons County.

He got involved in some kind of alcohol, tobacco and firearms deal...

that he came in to bust a bunch of gunrunners.

Mike took four of his best men and five A.T. F. agents.

Well, something went wrong, and they were all killed.

Everybody except Mike jeffers.

A few thought he was a real hero. Most people thought he was a coward...

and he ran and hid at the first sign of trouble.

Either way, he was the sole survivor.

Bad publicity came down like flies on a cow patty...

and the only job he could get is a security guard.

And only that because of his military record.

Where do you stand on all that?

Well-

I give him a lot of grief about it.

But the fact is, if I thought he was a gutless coward...

I wouldn't be sittin' here in the sun with your thumb up my butt, would I?

No, sir, you wouldn't.

- Give me your tie. - What?

Your tie.

- Oh, for God's sake, give me this tie!

All ri- All right! All right! All right!

Here!

Thank you.

Okay. Come on.

Mike, you got those bad guys yet, so we can head on home?

Got one. Got confirmation they're building some kind of bomb.

I'm working on the others.

All right. Good work. Keep your head down.

Yes, sir. I'll apprise the secretary of defense right away.

Garfield!

Give this to Secretary of Defense Ames.

Okay.

Now the big guns are coming out to play. Get me Borden on the line.

We got to move.

I said I'm not going out there.

You can stay here if you want.

But someone's gonna notice this guy's missing and come looking for him.

So you can go with us, or you can stay here and wait for them.

- He's right. - I don't think I can do it.

Now you listen to me.

If you want to get yourself killed, you go right ahead.

But you are not gonna put us in danger. You got that? Now move!

Feisty. Very feisty.

Well, you- You shut up and move too.

Yes, ma'am.

My guy inside says they're definitely building a bomb of some kind.

- How did he confirm that? - He didn't say / didn't ask.

But he's not stupid. Speaking of which...

- how's the intelligence coming? - We've notified the secretary of defense.

We're waiting on instructions. In the meantime...

I'm gonna find someone familiar with nuclear technology.

Maybe they can help you out.

- Get on that. - You'd better make it quick,.

You just sit tight. We've got somebody on it.

- What are you thinking? - They'll have demands.

- Do you want me to call Washington? - Not yet.

This was supposed to be an administrative job.

My ulcer can't take this.

Aw, geez.

- We're all set. - Good.

We're very close. We are right on time.

Which way?

Let's go! We're sitting ducks here!

That way.

Jesus.

Go! Go! Move!

Let's go.

Come on.

Whoever you are, I hope you got some answers.

Yeah, it's Gould. I've had Cyberdyne send a man out to help you.

He should be there anytime now.

- Yeah, I think I see him comin'. - Okay, his name is Kari Wendt.

He's a nuclear technician. He should be able to figure out what to do.

- Call us as soon as you know anything. - All right.

Hello. I'm Karl Wendt. You must be Sheriff Borden.

Yes, I am. I, uh-

I don't know a lot, but I'll fill you in...

- on what! do know. - No, I've already been briefed.

So why are they here?

Well, the hypothesis is that...

this siege is related to the Cyberdyne incident last night.

Now if that’s true, there could be a very big problem.

Well, I gathered that much.

A small amount of fissionable material was taken from our lab...

enough to make a small bomb.

Now if that bomb were detonated here...

there's enough crude atomic material already in this plant...

to produce another Chernobyl.

Let's hope I'm wrong about that though, huh?

Yeah.

It's just a flesh wound. You'll be fine.

I told you, we never should've left and gone out there.

- You almost got us killed. - Listen, I don't mind you pissin' me off...

but now you're startin' to bore me, so shut up!

Gentlemen, please.

- Now, what are we gonna do? - I'm thinking.

Sampson? I'm only ten minutes away.

All I need to do now is blacken the wires with this,

You won't be able to tell a colored wire from a black one.

Excellent. Rand and Tannen haven't come back yet.

Go and find them.

I'm going to make that phone call.

- Are you sure you 're ten minutes away? - I'm positive.

It's gonna look bad if a nuclear disaster erupts with only the local police there.

After the Waco incident, we cannot afford another bad judgment call.

I know. We're on hold until the attorney general...

gives the secretary of defense the go-ahead.

Guys. There's a call.

I think this is it.

This is Alan Gould here.

- Who am I speaking with? - Sampson here.

I am going to get to the point.

I have control of the San Miguel nuclear facility.

I have a list of demands.

The United States does not negotiate with terrorists, Mr. Sampson.

These are demands, not requests.

We have constructed a bomb. It's not a very large one...

but it's very effective.

And believe me, it's very well positioned.

How do I know you're telling the truth?

This bomb has been constructed by my associate Arthur Breem.

I'm sure you have a file on him.

I'm going to fax you a list of prisoners...

in federal custody throughout the nation.

You have five hours to arrange their unconditional release.

In addition, we need a Learjet, fully fueled...

with $50 million cash on board.

And helicopter transportation from here.

I think we both know those demands will never be met, sir.

I think they will.

We're men with a purpose, Mr, Gould.

All of those would happily die for this cause.

And if anyone tries to disturb my mission...

I will detonate this bomb early.

You now have four hours left.

Good-bye, Mr. Gould.

Okay,jack. Get me Washington on the line.

Sampson, you never said anything to me about $50 million.

- Money makes the world go 'round. - This is a political cause!

- It's not a financial one. - Political causes need money.

Everybody knows that. It will work.

Because what we are doing is right,

Trust me,

Rand! Tannen!

Where the hell are you guys?

Rand! Tannen!

Son of a bitch!

- Call it. - Heads.

Wow, you weren't kidding. So far, you've gotten every one wrong.

I told you.

When it comes to making any kind of decision...

like earlier, left or right- I'm always wrong.

Even when I try to outsmart myself by picking left...

because I'm thinking right, it doesn't work either.

- That's comforting. - What can I say? I'm a lousy gambler.

- Okay. So now what? - I'm gonna look for a way out.

Maybe the answer is to establish a dialogue.

If I could just talk to whoever's leading them...

I'm sure I could negotiate our release.

- Or get yourself killed. - Yeah, they really didn't seem the talkative type.

N-N-No, no, no.

You have to know how to speak to them diplomatically.

That's a good idea. You go ahead. Go establish a dialogue.

We'll be waiting when you get back.

I thought so.

What the hell happened to you?

I don't know who it was. One of'em was a security guard.

- A security guard? - Shut up!Just untie me.

Well, the clock is running out.

If we’re gonna go, we might as well do it now.

Come on!

What are we doing? This looks dangerous.

- You want to get out of hens? - Of course!

There's one exit they may not know about. This leads to it.

Hey!

- I'm goin' for help. Cover me! - Go!

I can't get a good angle on him.

Stay put.

Wait here.

- What happened? Did you get him? - I lost him.

But he" be back with help. We've got to move.

- Here's the files you requested, Secretary. - Thank you.

- Sir? - Yeah. What do you have?

I got reports on all the prisoners asked to be released...

as well as a profile on Arthur Breem and Sampson himself.

Take a look.

"Sampson" is a code name for a man named Rudolph Fassbinder.

He's a European arms dealer whose base is unknown at this time,.

He's been supplying arms to the militia movement, we believe,

Subversive file.

It looks like our man Sampson has some very strong views...

on, um, personal freedom.

He's hard core. I believe he quotes the Book of Revelations.

His group has been promising to pull off something big for quite some time.

We believe this may be it.

- What about Breem? - Breem?

He's an egghead inventor, nuclear engineer.

Authority on nuclear science,

He did extensive work for us until he dropped out of circulation three years ago.

What the hell is he doing with these guys?

A radical, gone off the deep end?

Christ, this is absurd.

This looks like a who's who list of every American terrorist for the last 15 years.

I just want to know one thing:

Is Arthur Breem capable of-

of arming a nuclear weapon?

Based on what intelligence has gathered, it appears so.

Thank you.

Yes.

Yes.

The secretary of defense has been apprised of the situation.

He's conferring with the attorney general and the president.

Are they gonna release any prisoners?

No. They're not gonna meet any demands.

- They're gonna wait 'em out. - My God! This is crazy.

The U.S. government is calling their bluff.

I'm gonna check in. Go over to the corner and keep a lookout.

Go over to the corner and keep a lookout.

- What's the matter? I thought you served in Vietnam. - I did!

I was in supply.

Borden.

Yeah,Joe. Hey, it's Mike. What's goin' on out there?

The government sent in a bomb expert.

And apparently some demands have been made.

We’re just out here hangin' on our peckers.

Aren't they gonna send anybody in?

That's Washington's call, but I wouldn't count on it.

If I was you, I'd get my butt out of there ASAP.

I'd love to, but you need somebody inside.

Besides, I think my luck is changing.

- How's that? - Well, I'm still alive.

Yeah, well, stay that way!

- Don't press your bet. - Thanks.

Listen. There's a way out of here.

Down there is a gate, okay?

Get through it. Turn right. You're gonna be runnin' into the sheriff.

- Wait a minute. Aren't you coming? - I can't'.

Not till this is over.

- What are you waitin' for? - You can't stay here. They'll kill you.

No, they won't. Things get rough, I'll be behind you,

Come on,Janine. Let's go!

Go. Go on.

Listen, um, this is the biggest news story in the world right now.

And I am smack-dab in the middle of it, so...

when this is over, I would really like an exclusive interview with you.

- Are you changing careers? - Yeah, you got it.

Suit yourself.

Sounds like our problem is solved.

- Oh, my God. Oh, my God! Oh, my- - Come on. Come on!

Stop it! He's dead. They had to hear that.

Come on, let's go. Let's go!

- You got bombs goin' off over here. - That's a small one.

- That's not the big one. - The guy says that's just a small one.

It's not the big one. But it's blowin' up here!

When are you going to get these government experts up here?

How many more people gotta die before you act like you care about...

what's happening to these people here?

You're all we have out there for the time being...

so you just hang in there and wait for further instructions.

Hello? It's him.

Sampson? It's Alan Gould.

Good afternoon. Wejust killed your senator.

Any word yet on our demands...

before we blow this place and the surrounding area sky high?

Well, as you could probably guess...

Washington had some difficulty with your demands.

- Now, if you’re willing to negotiate- - Let me make this clear to you.

I will happily die today.

I'm prepared for that. So are my men.

Washington is aware of that fact.

I want to alert you.

I'm setting the detonator right now.

You now have 90 minutes.

I'll expect confirmation that our demands have been met...

within that time, or I will allow the bomb to detonate...

and the result will be devastating.

Do you hear me? Devastating.

Good-bye.

Guess I'd better update Washington.

- Do you know where you're going? - Up.

- Oh, I feel much better now. - We aim to please.

- Thanks. - You're welcome.

If I could take him out, this whole thing'd be over.

Don't let me stop you.

Bomb's right behind him.

With my luck, I'd hit that first.

Okay, give him a minute. He's bound to move.

Let's find a better angle.

Rand and Peterson are dead.

It's one of those people that got away when we took out the camera crew,

You're telling me a cameraman took out two of our best men?

It's not one of them, it's that security guard.

A security guard?

This is your mess, Breem. You didn't follow the order.

That's the result.

Go with him.

Go with him.

Your job is done.

I think I can take him from here.

- Think? - He keeps moving around a lot.

I want to make sure all these numbers are checked and secured...

before anyone uses them.

Put me through to Sampson.

I'd like to see if I can talk to him one last time.

Mr. Gould, I presume.

- Yes, that's right. - I hope you're calling with good news.

No, I'm afraid not. Listen, I'm sure that you believe very strongly...

in this mission, but-

but I've got to be honest with ya...

the U.S. government is not going to meet your demands, ever.

That's fine.

As I told you, we are here to make a statement.

And apparently, it will be a big one.

But what is that going to prove?

How is that going to help your cause?

If you want a soapbox to stand on, I'll get you one.

I'll put you on national television. People do not have to die.

When thousands, maybe millions of people die...

the world will wake up.

That's what it takes. We both know that.

This government no longer exists...

to represent the people.

That's why it has to be dismantled.

Sampson, they are going to think of you as a nut...

a lunatic that engineered a disaster.

Every great prophet was thought insane in his time.

By the way, any wrong move by your sheriff out here...

I will detonate the bomb even earlier.

Take my word.

All right. I'll call Washington again.

But I don't think it's gonna do any good.

Nope.

We're doing all we can.

If this guy is telling the truth, we're looking at...

the worst disaster ever on United States soil.

- Do you think he's for real? - Oh, yes, I do.

And for all of our sakes, let's just hope Washington does too.

Get him now! You have the shot.

- You want to do it? Thank you. - Not really.

Freeze!

Drop the gun.

Turn around.

Finally. You probably have no idea how much trouble you've caused.

What, I guess you're his faithful little sidekick?

I could have killed you earlier, but I didn't.

Yeah? Well, big mistake.

Unfinished business always has a way of coming back and biting you in the ass.

Tannen, come on.

Why can't we just tie 'em up? I mean, they'll be out of the way.

There's no reason for unnecessary bloodshed here.

- Just shut up and stand back. - No, no.Just hold on.

Damn it, Breem.'

No. No!

- Put the gun down. - Don't move! I swear, I'll shoot.

No, you won't.

You don't want to kill us and we don't want to kill you,

So let's just work this out calmly, and we can all stay alive.

Not another step.

Give me the gun.

Come on.

That was pretty good.

Thank you.

- Why don 't I hold that? - Yeah.

Yes. Yes, sir. Yes, Mr. President.

We'll take care of it right away.

The evacuation proceedings will begin immediately.

Yes, sir. We cannot let these terrorist bastards take over. Yes, sir.

Don't worry. We've got it under control.

Yes. We'll call you as soon as we have an update.

- Take care of this right a way - Okay.

- What's the decision? - They've spoken to their experts...

and they've even conferred with Karl Wendt from the site.

They don't believe there's imminent danger of a serious blast.

They want to evacuate the area and wait them out.

Yeah.

Sheriff, I just got the final word from Washington.

You're to pull everybody out of there immediately.

They're already evacuating the local perimeter within the bomb's radius.

- Just get your people out. - Yes, sir. What about Mike? He's still inside.

Well, let's just hope he's taking good care of himself.

You have your orders.

All right, Washington says we gotta move out.

So get ready. But nobody go anywhere till I say so.

I'm still in charge here.

This is insane! It's suicide!

He'll detonate the bomb. He's that crazy.

Take it up with the president.

The demands are ludicrous. He won't negotiate.

I think he wants to blow this bomb.

Let's just pray they get everybody out of there in time.

Oh, damn!

Hold it!

I guess you're the man we've all been hearing about.

Drop the gun or he's dead.

You really are a security guard.

I must say, I'm impressed.

And you. You are a real big disappointment.

- Drop it. - Breem? You're fired.

I'm out.

- Oh, God. - I don't know who you are.

But unless you want to explode a nuclear bomb...

I wouldn't shoot in this direction.

Tell me what you want. I may be able to help you get it.

I've made my demands! The clock is ticking!

If your demands aren't met, you're gonna what?

Blow up the whole world?

No,just this little part of it.

- Wait here. - Wait a minute. Wait a minute!

Where are you going?

Hey! Watch it, will ya?

Where'd you learn to shoot like that?

Well, no. That was my first time!

- Pretty good, huh? - Not bad.

Yeah,Joe. It's Mike. It's clear. You can come on in now.

- Mike, are you sure? - Hell,yes.

The bad guys are dead.

But we're gonna need somebody in here who can disarm the device.

Okay, okay. We're on our way in.

All right, we're goin' in! But listen.

I want everybody to be mindful that every exit and entry in this whole place...

is liable to be booby-trapped.

Karl! Get your ass up here, ASAP! Come on, man.

Time for you to shine. We got a bomb for you to defuse.

- Listen, we need to evacuate the area as soon as possible. - We can't disarm it?

Maybe, maybe. Maybe not. It's gonna be close, though.

I have managed to freeze two of the connections. That'll contain the blast to a point,.

But if I can't stop it in time, there could still be a fallout radius of...

- uh, several miles. - Hopefully, you'll disarm it by then.

- Otherwise, it won't much matter, - We need to get the bomb away...

- to a more deserted area. - There's a deeper vein about ten miles north of here.

If we could get it there, would that contain the blast?

If we could get it there in time, yeah. I need to stay with the bomb.

- I need to get transportation out of here, though. - I'm going with you.

- Okay. Okay. - Hell, we might as well give it a try.

I'll need a vehicle and an escort. We're gonna dump this thing.

- Everybody else, out off/ere! - I want you to go with them.

Are you kidding? If I break this story, I'll write my own ticket.

If I see it through to the finish, I'll win a Pulitzer Prize. Now let's go.

Sheriff. Tell me what's goin' on out there.

The bomb is being transported to San Clemente Ravine,

We're gonna drop it in the deepest part,

- Christ, that's suicide. - Well, Karl Wendt's on board...

trying to defuse the bomb,

He shut down part of it, but just in case he can't finish the job..,.

this'll at least contain the explosion.

Good luck.

If we can't get this defused, we have to dump it.

- We're gonna be at ground zero. - I know that.

Don't wet yourself yet, huh?

I'm gonna get it defused. I am almost there.

Anything we can do?

Yeah, stop starin' at me, huh?

Oh, my God. What is that?

That can't be.

Six minutes left!

Jesus, this guy just won't quit!

Get this thing off the road!

We gotta lose this guy. He's gonna blow everything.

- Are you almost there? - Just keep your fingers crossed, huh?

- Don't stop! - Hey, this is not easy, even under the best circumstances.

This is an atomic fucking bomb, for Christ's sake!

Everybody look out!

What?

Holy shit! Now what do I do?

Get back to the bomb!

Oh, my God. Shit!

Three minutes! Shit! Now what do I do?

Cut one of the wires!

- Which one? - What color are they?

- They're all black! - Okay. I've always had good luck with black!

- Cut one! - What if it's the wrong one?

If it’s the wrong one,just keep cutting it, until, uh-

Until what? We blow up?

Fine! You got a better idea?

Okay. There are five wires. Left to right...

- which one should cut? - Uh, number five!

- That's my lucky number! - Are you sure?

- Actually, maybe you better decide. - No! You decide!

Five! From the right!

Oh, God!

Oh, my God. I did it.

- I-I did it. I disarmed the bomb. - Really? Damn. Get up here.

Get ready to jump!

What?

Sorry! That's gotta hurt.

Oh,Jesus.

Mike? Mike?

Oh, thank God you're okay.

- Looks like you saved the day. - You're the one who picked the right wire.

I guess there's a first time for everything.

Maybe your luck is changing.

Yours too.

That's right. I have an exclusive.

Sorry.

Oh. Sorry.

Mike! Man, I just want to shake your hand, mister.

What you did took balls of steel.

I understand he couldn't have done it without you either, little lady.

Oh, well I- Well, I did shoot one of the bad guys...

and, uh, I disarmed the bomb.

It was a hell of a way to spend my last day on the job.

Yeah, well, I tell you what.

I'm gonna let you off of that debt you owe me.Just my way of saying thanks.

Hey, Mike, it's Mr. Gould from the department of defense.

- Yeah? - Mike, that was great work. I don't know how you did it...

- or how we can ever repay you. - Well, I'm lookin' for a new job.

- What kind of work are you looking for? - Well, something cushy.

Yeah. I know what you mean.

Well, I'm sure we can arrange something.

Thank you.

Get me, uh-

Oh, yeah.

No. Cold turkey for me.

Get me the president.

I got some news that's gonna make his day.

Hey, Mike, I got somethin' for ya.

- What's this? - Three hundred bucks.

Some of the guys had a bet goin' you wouldn't make it.

- Some of the guys? - Okay, all of the guys. Except for me.

I figure it's yours. You earned it.

I'd tell you what to do with this, but then I wouldn't want it back.

Boy, I could use a drink.

- Who's buying? - Why, you are, of course.

- Why me? - Because youjust won $300.

Yeah, but I'm unemployed now.

- All right, I'll flip you for it. - No.

- Double or nothing. Double or nothing... - No. No means no.

I'll buy, and I'll give you a full body massage.

Let me see the coin.
