In the wallet.

Now. You speak English, man?

You mean, do I speak English? And the answer is yes. Better than most. Give me

the watch.

This was a present from my wife. It is of no monetary value. Please. Stand it

over, man. Please. No.

Stay down.

Please. Shut up.

Hey.

Get lost or get shot.

Thank you, sir.

Thank you.

I don't know who you are, but I am family in your debt, sir.

Don't mention it, Professor.

The Jack Russell Terrier is fun -loving and extremely intelligent.

Why are you showing me this? I thought it might be nice if we got a puppy.

A puppy?

Look at his little face.

Oh, I can't believe you. You think that if you can convince me to get a puppy,

that I won't want to have a baby?

What? That's ridiculous. You know I want kids.

But now that you mention it, we might be smart by getting a puppy. You know,

kind of like a dry run for children.

Oh, I see.

So if I do a good job house training a pet, you might consider me for the

of your child.

No. No?

I mean, of course not. I can't even believe you. Harriet, that's not what I

meant.

Trish, give Harm a big hug and a kiss from me and be strong, honey.

I'll be home soon. I love you guys.

Hey.

Come in.

Stuff away.

How's your mom?

Good. She's really good, actually, you know.

You're still wearing his MIA bracelet.

Yeah.

You're not filing away memories, Harm.

You'll have those forever.

Sir, ma 'am, the Admiral wants to see ASAP.

Angry protesters clashed with police for a second day in the Sudanese capital of

Khartoum. Last month, the U .S. destroyed a suspected chemical weapons

in this city.

Fearing similar reprisals by the U .S., many Sudanese have turned against their

government, which is known for its support of terrorist activities.

Seven weeks ago, the Sudanese president was assassinated. No one's claimed

responsibility, but ever since then, two parties have been fighting for control.

In the south, General Hayad Zulake, leader of the Sudanese Freedom Party.

Old school, hardcore.

In the north, Ambassador Kai Moshek, new school, politically savvy.

General Zulake is all muscle, Ambassador Moshek is all brains.

Sounds like they should get together. Probably will at ten pages.

Which would leave room for Professor DuBois too, who's the heart and soul of

country. A poet who speaks for the people.

Whoever he endorses wins the election.

Which way is he leaning?

Nobody knows.

Sounds like he should run for election.

Professor despises politics.

He was supposed to sit down with our president last Thursday, but he never

showed. Kidnapped?

Most likely.

Ambassador Moshek and General Zalake are, of course, blaming each other.

Sudan has a strategic importance to this country. Borders Libya and the Red Sea.

Ron has a base in the port of Suakin. General Zulocki will not allow an

presence in his country. Ambassador Mosheck will.

Guess who we're rooting for.

Commander, I understand you've been invited to an embassy party Ambassador

Mosheck is giving to solidify his support.

Do you know the ambassador?

Not really. I took him for a ride in a Tomcat once, part of the Pentagon's plan

to woo him to our side.

This is a perfect opportunity for the two of you to learn if he knows anything

about the professor's abduction.

The ambassador likes to surround himself with military types. He thinks it helps

boost his image as a leader.

So you and the major will have the perfect cover. Going in as yourselves.

Cover for what?

We need you to access the embassy's computer system.

You want us to break into a foreign embassy computer.

What aren't you telling us, Webb?

This had better not be another setup.

Secnev has approved this operation.

When's the party?

1900 tonight.

Tonight? My dress uniform's at the cleaner, sir. I don't have a dress. I

done my hair. Your hair's fine, Major, and Webb's taking care of the dress.

You don't even know my size.

36, 24, 36, 5 foot 8, plus 130 pounds.

120. Thank you very much.

mean to say anything to offend you i think you're gonna make a great mother

me that i'm worried about i didn't have the greatest of role models growing up i

think you'll be the best father really yeah i'm just a little bit scared and

when i get scared i say stupid things and when i say stupid things i start to

ramble you know some people overeat and smoke and me i just tend to ramble i'll

just go what did i say now

The reception will be held in the ballroom.

Moshek's office is on the second floor, here.

There's a fire escape door here, but it has an alarm on it.

At 746, there will be a six -second power outage.

That'll give you enough time to get into the stairwell.

Then all you have to do is get past the security room here.

Is that all?

There's a maximum of two men watching the monitors at any one time. If you can

get them out of the room, you're home free.

How am I supposed to do that, Webb?

There's a computer in the ambassador's outer office.

You'll need to reboot it.

You're a regular James Bond, Webb.

Use this disk, then hook up this cell phone.

It's programmed to speed dial a modem where we have a data specialist waiting.

You mean a hacker. And don't bother trying to make any personal calls. It's

wired for high -speed modem transfers.

And if the commander gets caught?

He'll be in and out in two minutes max.

This is strictly a voluntary assignment.

Neither one of you have to do it if you don't want to.

I didn't get all dressed up for nothing, sir.

Well, I've already shaved twice today, sir.

Thank you.

Commander Rapp.

Ambassador Moshek.

It's a pleasure to see you again, sir. Glad you could make it.

This is a colleague of mine, Marine Corps Major Sarah McKenzie, also with

JAG Corps.

Welcome, Major.

I'm sure you must get tired of people telling you you do not look like a

Not really, sir.

If you'll excuse me a moment, I think I see someone I know.

Ah, champagne, Major.

Thank you. In my country, few women become lawyers, and none become Marines.

Too bad.

I think we would intimidate most of the men in Sudan.

I must admit, I find American women fascinating.

1946. What time you got?

1947 and 16 seconds.

You think the mission's scrubbed?

Maybe we should call Webb.

Let's wait a few more minutes.

You wait, I'll make the call.

I really have to pay that electric bill.

Find out what's going on.

Put that.

This is restricted area.

Oh, yeah?

Well, then what are you doing here? I'm going to have to ask you to return to

the ballroom.

No way.

I've had enough of those people.

What is going on?

I think she passed out. She's drunk.

What do you want me to do with her?

We'll take her out of the service entrance.

Hang on. I'll be right there to help you.

Okay.

They with her.

I'm going upstairs.

I think somebody smacked the punch.

Perhaps it would be best if you left now, ma 'am. I'll have your car brought

around for you. Oh, no, no, I'm feeling much better now. If you could just show

me the way back to the party.

I'm afraid I'll order to escort you out.

Is this how Ambassador Moshe treats his guests?

Well, is it?

You know, perhaps I should have a talk with him about his so -called

hospitality.

What is going on? She's going back to the party.

Stop her.

Wait.

Wait yet!

and no one will get hurt.

It's a little late for that.

We will be splitting you up into groups and putting you in secure rooms.

Now, I know we have a number of war heroes here tonight, but I assure you

is not the time for senseless act of violence.

Go.

Come with me. This way.

Hey, quiet.

Keep going, keep going.

Harry,

are you all right? No, I feel terrible. I can't keep anything in my stomach.

Want me to drive you home?

No, it'll be okay.

It's probably only morning sickness.

Oh, coming through.

Jag, Lieutenant Roberts.

But it's harm.

Sir, it's Commander Rabb. He's on line one. He's got morning sickness.

What?

I mean, uh... Commander, you're on the speakerphone with Admiral Chegwitten,

sir. What's going on, Commander?

Shots have been fired, sir. The guests are being rounded up by the embassy

guards and locked in.

Call D .C. Police, Secret Service and SecNav. Tell them what's going on. Aye,

sir. Where are you now, Commander?

Well, sir, I'm still in the Ambassador's office, pursuing Webb's wacky plan.

What about the Major?

She's been rounded up with the others, sir.

Stay on the line.

What's our status?

Everything looks acute, sir. Things are going to get very intense in the next

few minutes, so stay relaxed and follow the plan, and call the TV station.

What's wrong with that camera?

That's the Ambassador's outer office.

Send someone to check it out.

Commander, do not do anything to exacerbate the situation.

Don't worry, sir. You know me.

Yes, I do.

Yeah, well... Did you expect this?

Someone taking over the embassy?

Of course not.

If you did, your ass is mine.

Are we ready?

Notify the TV van.

Tell them we are sending them a message.

Then prepare to broadcast.

How are you feeling, Ambassador?

My

name

is Ken O'Shohala.

I have taken over the Sudanese embassy on behalf of General Hayat Zulaki and

Sudanese Freedom Party.

We have 38 individuals in our protection who will be released unharmed, provided

our demands are met.

Now, before the United States government decides to launch a rescue operation,

you should be aware that we are prepared to die and take everyone in this

embassy with us.

Are you watching this?

No.

I'm not leaving.

This is my embassy and these are my people.

I'm not leaving this embassy until everyone else is freed.

Then you will not leave until we get what we want.

What you've just seen was a lot... The ambassador is a brave man.

We're stupid.

Something's not right about this. They talk about meeting their demands and

don't make any. Why not?

Webb.

When?

I'll be there.

Where are you going?

A DOD crisis meeting. I'll keep you informed. Damn right you will, from this

office.

Excuse me? My people are up to their ears in this because of you. You're not

going anywhere until I know they're safe.

Are you kidding?

Do I look like I'm kidding?

What is the status on the camera, Anas?

It's broken, Corporal.

See if you can fix it quickly.

Okay.

Want a drink?

No. This may help calm you.

I don't want to be calmed.

The worst part is over. You did well.

Worst part?

Every law enforcement agency and military group in Washington now has

surrounded. Of course they do. That was the plan.

Don't forget your cold feet, Colonel. Everything's going as expected.

Right now, the entire world is pointing fingers and throwing accusations at

General Zulagay.

Don't deny everything, of course, but the damage will be done.

They're here to down the next leader.

President Moshe.

I like the sound of it.

Can I show how that... A hostage negotiator from the Secret Service is

calling. Right on time.

They want you to release the hostages.

What should I tell them?

Tell them nothing. It's time for act two.

Shut down the switchboard.

This message is not only for my Sudanese brothers and sisters, but it is for

every oppressed people around the globe.

Ambassador Moshe calls himself a man of the people, but he's nothing more than a

puppet of the American government.

General Hayek Zuleke is the only man with the courage, the power, and the

knowledge to save our country and our people from being destroyed.

Don't listen to him.

General Zuleke is the enemy. He murdered Professor Dubatu to silence him, and

now he's going to murder me too.

I offer to show you that we are merciful by releasing the ambassador.

They refused.

Now I will show you that we are determined.

The terrorists have stopped broadcasting. What's happening?

Well, find out. They stopped broadcasting. You can see that.

It's a scam.

There are no terrorists.

The shooting was faked. It's all a ploy to make the ambassador look like a hero

and discredit General Zulake.

Everybody stay put.

What's going on?

This is Ambassador Moshak.

General Zulake's terrorists have attempted to take over the embassy.

We have disarmed some of them, but there are several still at large.

If my people are watching back home, I assure you we will not let this

act of violence go unavenged. What General Zulaki has tried to destroy will

become even more powerful.

Our country will be united.

We will overcome our enemy. General Zulaki will be overthrown and the

Freedom Party will be crushed, ending their reign of terror.

And I will bring peace to Sudan.

Have my problem.

Yeah, but he's got a lot of people fooled.

Get some out of here.

You really killed him.

Yep.

Only way this thing works is if you have at least one body.

We're the only ones who know this is a scam.

Terrorist attack at the Sudanese embassy in Washington, D .C. appears to be the

latest act of aggression in an ongoing jihad aimed against the United States.

Last month, American embassies in Tanzania and Kenya were bombed, killing

260 people and wounding several thousand.

But this is the first terrorist attack on U .S. soil. Yes, sir. I'll keep you

informed.

Four Iranian Mirage fighters just left the Sudanese port of Suakin. They're

heading toward General Zulatke's garrison.

If they attack, there's a chance the Israelis could lend the general a hand.

We have an all -out holy war that could escalate beyond Africa and draw in half

the Middle East. It was a simple operation, Admiral. I had no way of

this. Sir, the Secretary of the Navy is on his way over here.

Looks like your people are in the wrong place at the wrong time again, Admiral.

You approve this operation, sir.

What I approve was a simple piece of intelligence gathering. But your people

have an uncanny knack for being where the trouble is. I prefer to think of

as where they're most needed.

We've got a nasty situation here, A .J. And what happens in that embassy could

lead to a conflict that makes Desert Storm look like Grenada.

What do you have in mind, sir?

The police and the feds need any intel you can get from your people.

The sooner they defuse this situation, the better.

If we could get permission from the ambassador, we could send in a Delta

team and end this in about eight seconds.

But we can't. That embassy is considered Sudanese soil. We go in there with guns

blazing. It's an act of war.

And this isn't?

I am on my way to the DOD meeting.

Keep me informed.

Yes, sir.

Do we have a game plan here, or are we just improvising?

I'd say we head for the roof.

Guaranteed, there's at least half a dozen choppers in the area. Somebody

give us a lift. And what about the remaining hostages?

Well, they don't know anything, so they're in no immediate danger.

I think we should split up.

This embassy is filled with video cameras.

We double our chances of one of us getting out if we divide their forces.

All right.

You head for the roof.

I'll try this basement.

Okay.

Get up now or I will shoot you.

Professor Dubatu?

And you are?

Lieutenant Commander Harmon Rapp.

United States Navy.

Judge Advocate, General Court.

They sent a lawyer to rescue me?

You shot him?

He shot at me first.

And that makes it right.

Violence only begets violence.

Thank you.

How well do you know the layout of the embassy?

I know this room very well. The rest, not so well.

Ambassador Moshe staged a terrorist takeover of the embassy.

He shot Colonel Shohala to make himself look like a hero to your people. And

people wonder why I refuse to be involved in politics.

Well, like it or not, Professor, you're involved now. Since your disappearance,

your countrymen have been fighting each other.

My countrymen have been fighting for as long as I can remember.

What are you doing?

I'm helping this man.

Your country wants Ambassador Moshe to be president because he pretends to be

American -friendly.

Compared to General Zalaki, he is the lesser of two evils, but he is evil

nonetheless.

We just want to help keep the peace.

It may be too late for that.

In America, you go to war.

But in my country, war comes to you.

Shouldn't we be calling the police? I mean, what about the terrorists?

Please, Major, I suspect you and Commander Abb are onto my operation.

So let's not pretend, shall we?

I thought Muslims didn't drink.

Yes, I've picked up some nasty habits since I came to America.

Something tells me you were nasty before you came here.

You know, you can't hold me here.

Sit down.

I'm a major in the United States Marine Corps and an American citizen.

And this embassy is considered Sudanese soil.

Now sit down.

Thank you.

Professor. Take it.

I'm sorry.

I don't believe in violence, Commander.

Our lives may depend on it, sir. Very well aware of that.

Professor, with respect, somebody starts shooting at you. You turn the other

cheek, you're going to get your head blown off. Now take the weapon.

I'm sorry.

I can't.

Did you find him?

No, sir, and we have lost contact with Sabian Horses.

Your commander?

Right now, your men are disappearing one by one.

Soon, you'll be the only one left.

That's usually when he turns out the lights and comes after you all alone in

dark.

You Americans watch too much television.

Find me Commander Rapp, now!

I'm on my way, Ambassador.

Don't say I didn't warn you.

Nicely done, Commander.

I'll be waiting for you.

With the Major.

Say something, Major.

Anything will do.

I'm afraid they don't make Marines like they used to, Commander.

You're a dead man, Moshe.

Yes, yes, well, you'd better hurry, because I don't think Major McKenzie is

going to enjoy the next few minutes.

Don't do it, Commander.

He's playing on your age. He's counting on your retaliation with violence.

I won't disappoint him. You'll be walking into a trap.

I could use your help.

Be careful.

We don't need to worry about the lights, do we, Major?

Standard police procedure in these situations, correct?

Ah, Commander Rabb.

Corporal, would you bring Dubatu here?

Mac, you okay?

Yeah, he hits like a girl.

Would you like a drink, Commander?

No, thank you.

But, uh, tell you, I would like a cigar if you have one.

Oh, I hope you do.

Thanks, Ambassador.

You're welcome.

Very nice. Sir Cuban, you'd be surprised by the multitude of sins one can hide

in a diplomatic pouch.

One of the many advantages of being the ambassador.

It appears to be someone in the window, but we don't know if it's a terrorist or

a hostage.

The figure is wearing what looks like a military uniform and appears to be

lighting a cigarette or a cigar.

Sir, that's a Navy dress uniform, and those are JAG shoulder boards.

That's got to be Commander Rapp. What the hell is he doing?

It looks like he's trying to signal us. That's Morse code.

What's he saying?

E -W -R.

He behaved like a man who never lit a cigar.

Try this one.

Power. He wants us to turn the power back on.

Why? Who cares? Put the damn power back on.

Put the power back on.

So you're planning on killing Professor de Bateau?

Eventually.

The professor will remain a guest of the embassy for a couple of days until

things have settled.

Then his body will be found in a motel room.

Along with this.

You will have succumbed to the deadly Ebola virus, which you will have been

smuggling out of the country for General Zulaki, of course.

Murdering him in cold blood isn't enough. You have to discredit his

as well.

Whenever forced to eliminate an opponent such as the Professor, one runs the

risk of creating a martyr.

I'm sorry to have been so much trouble.

Ah, speak of the devil. We were just talking about you, Professor.

So I overheard.

So, this is your new leader.

We're going to interrupt this broadcast to go live to some images we've just

received from inside the Sudanese embassy.

Now, we believe... That's Commander Rabbi Major McKenzie.

The ambassador appears to be in the office with at least four other people.

you getting all this?

Take a look on his desk.

It's on his desk.

We need to get a cyber unit on the scene.

There were rumors floating around the intel community that the ambassador had

shown some interest in biochemical weapons.

A few weeks later, somebody ripped off some Ebola virus from a research lab in

Delaware.

You knew this and you allowed my people to go in there? They were just rumors.

We need hard facts. We never expected them to have it in the embassy.

This was never about the missing, Professor.

It's about using my JAG officers to do your dirty work. You're jumping to

conclusions. I'm going to be jumping to more than that if you don't get my

people out of there now!

What are you going to do, break my nose again?

Lieutenant, would you please excuse us?

We've got to get in there now.

You think your virus will know the difference between blacks and Arabs?

It will kill everyone without prejudice.

Combustor, what is it?

Hell.

They've tapped into the security cameras.

Very clever, Commander.

It's all over, Ambassador. No!

The whole world has seen your betrayal.

You'll be arrested for murder, kidnapping, and terrorism.

Shut up!

You'll spend ten lifetimes in prison, Moshek. He's right, you know.

Your only chance is to run.

Maybe the Iranian embassy will grant you sanctuary.

Might even help you with safe passage out of the country.

But you gotta go now, while you still can.

Get my car ready.

Yes, sir.

Off to you, Major.

You don't need her. Leave her here. The Major's taking a little trip.

Have you ever been to Africa, Major?

If they try to leave, kill them.

Your boss just left you holding a bag. How's it feel?

So, this is what you want to be?

A puppet touring?

Ruthless criminal?

No.

There has been enough killing.

Our people are starving, struggling to survive every day with no

food, no medicine.

No hope.

And you, you're sentencing them to death, your own brothers and sisters.

What lies has he offered you?

Money? Power?

The same lies he offered Gainu Shukala.

And now he's dead.

You see, Commander, there is an alternative.

Unfortunately, not for men like Moshek.

Never let you drive out of here.

They will if I have you.

Yeah, well, I'm a Marine. My life is expendable.

America does not negotiate with terrorists.

We shall see.

Freeze, bullshit!

Let her go. It's over.

I wouldn't shoot if I were you, Commander.

Too much to the left, you hit your date.

Too much to the right, you unleash a deadly virus.

Either way, the girl dies.

Don't ever hit a lady, especially if she's a Marine.

Are you all right?

I'm fine.

Good.

Good.

All this violence, and for what?

My people will still slaughter each other.

What if you spoke to them?

Would they listen to you? Could you stop the fighting?

Maybe.

The ambassador's been broadcasting his propaganda from that podium all night.

It's your turn, Professor.

Trying to find out about Commander Harmon Rabb, Jr.

and Major Sarah McKenzie.

Admiral Chegwood wants to know how they are.

Are you certain?

Thanks. Are they okay?

Uh, yeah. Then can I talk to you for just one second? Uh, not right now.

Please, it's really important, but... Well, does it have anything to do with

what's going on at the embassy?

No, but... Well, then it's not important right now. Ah, thank you.

Where am I supposed to be on site? Heaven, call me.

Have you heard anything?

The initial reports are that there are no additional casualties, sir. It is

important now, more than ever, for us to come together as a people.

North and South, Muslim and Christian, Black and Arab.

Everyone.

For if we allow...

The forces of evil and destruction who consume us, we are all surely doomed.

They did it, sir.

Yes, lieutenant, looks like they did.

You all right, lieutenant?

I think I'm pregnant, sir.

Thank you for everything, command. You are always welcome in my country.

I look like I missed one hell of a party.

What happened to your dress?

That's government property.

So bill me.

Webb, next time you're thinking about asking us for help, don't.

It's... Is this... And you...

And I'm gonna be, uh...

Congratulations, Lieutenant.

Whoa.

You okay?

Yeah. You couldn't make it?

Yeah. You know, we should go out more often.

Sure. I had a wonderful time tonight.
