THIS IS A.T.F. JURISDICTION.
I DON'T NEED THE AIR FORCE
OUT HERE.

WHO IS THIS?
THIS IS THE AIR FORCE.

IT'S OUR BOMB.
THEY SENT ME TO GET IT BACK.

THE BOMB THEY HAVE ON BOARD
IS DESIGNED TO TAKE OUT
APPROXIMATELY 25 SQUARE MILES.

THAT IS, IF IT'S ABOVE GROUND,
IT'S GONE.

LOOKS LIKE
THEY'VE PLANNED GROUND ZERO
TO BE UNION STATION.

I FIGURE IF THE CHOPPER
CAN DROP ME AROUND HERE--

WE ALREADY HAVE A PLAN
IN PLACE, TYREE.

- IS THAT CAR ON THE TRACKS
PART OF YOUR PLAN?
- IT'S FILLED WITH C-4.

SO YOUR PLAN IS
TO DERAIL THE TRAIN...

AND SAVE THE PASSENGERS
BY BLOWIN' 'EM UP.

I'M TRYING TO SAVE
THOUSANDS OF LIVES
IN LOS ANGELES.

HOW I DO IT
IS MY BUSINESS,
CAPTAIN TYREE!

WHERE'S MY CHOPPER?

YOU'VE GOT 20 MINUTES, CAPTAIN.
USE IT WISELY.

IS THAT PILOT ANY GOOD?

WHAT THE HELL KIND
OF QUESTION IS THAT?

YOU WANNA TEST HIM?
NO, I JUST REALLY HATE
TO FLY.

ALL RIGHT, EVERYBODY,
GET INTO POSITION.

GET ME IN CLOSE.

SET ME DOWN ON TOP.

EVERYBODY GET DOWN!

YOU MIND?

MAYBE NEXT TIME
HE'LL BUY A TICKET.

THANKS.
IS EVERYBODY OKAY?

YES.

IS ANYBODY HIT?

IS ANYBODY HIT?

YOU OKAY?

EVERYBODY STAY CALM.

I'LL BE BACK.

LIKE I SAID,
I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

GET ME THE REMOTE DETONATOR
IN CASE THE C-4 DOESN'T BLOW.

I WANT THAT TRAIN DERAILED.
EVERYBODY STAND BY.

NO!

COME ON.

COME ON.

WHO ARE YOU?
THE NEGOTIATOR.

ALL RIGHT, MR. NEGOTIATOR,
NEGOTIATE.

OH, SHIT, THE C-4.

COME ON, LET'S GO.
EVERYBODY OFF THE TRAIN.

THE BOMB'S BEEN DISARMED.
WHO GETS CREDIT FOR THIS?

WELL, ENDANGERING THE LIVES
OF INNOCENT PASSENGERS...

AND DESTROYING
A WESTRAIL TRAIN.

YOU DO, OF COURSE.

THAT'S A NICE JOB.

- YOU HAVE ALL THE MONEY?
- LET'S SEE THE FILE,
SENATOR LANSDALE.

HOPE THAT HELPS
WITH YOUR CAMPAIGN.

YOU DON'T KNOW HOW EXPENSIVE
TV TIME IS IN AN ELECTION YEAR.
IT'S THE LEAST WE CAN DO.

WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?

"HILMER LANSDALE MURDERED.

INDEPENDENT PRESIDENTIAL
CANDIDATE'S CAMPAIGN
ORGANIZATION HEAVILY IN DEBT."

THEY'RE DROPPIN'
OUT LIKE FLIES. I CAN'T WRITE
THE OBITS FAST ENOUGH.

IT'S GONNA BE
A TWO-MAN RACE.

AMERICA'S PATRIOT,

AND AMERICA'S CONSCIENCE.

SO WHICH ONE'S
THE PSYCHO KILLER?

- PSYCHO KILLER?
- ONE OF THESE MUTANTS
HAD LANSDALE WHACKED.

PUT A HIT
ON A RIVAL CANDIDATE?

WHY?

ANOTHER ONE JUST POPS UP
TO TAKE THEIR PLACE.

I'VE BEEN SNIFFIN' AROUND
THESE GUYS FOR WEEKS.
THEY'RE BOTH BAD.

I JUST DON'T KNOW WHICH ONE
OF THEM IS THE BIG BASTARD,
BUT I'M GETTIN' CLOSE.

NO, IT'S GOTTA BE PIKE.
HE'S WRAPPED HIMSELF
IN THE FLAG.

GOT "FAMILY VALUES"
TATTOOED ON HIS ASS.

HE'S GOT THE STENCH, PHIL.
AND BESIDES,
HE'S THE VICE PRESIDENT.

HE COULD GET
SOMEBODY WHACKED.
TOMORROW'S EDITION, BABY.

IT SAYS HERE...

I'M AMERICA'S
NEWEST LIBERAL;
THAT'S A SWITCH.

BRILLIANT MOVE.
WE STEAL THEIR THUNDER AND
YOU WIN ANOTHER FIVE PERCENT...

IN THE POLLS.
I DON'T CARE IF THEY CALL ME
CONSERVATIVE OR LIBERAL.

I DON'T CARE
WHAT THEY CALL ME,
AS LONG AS THEY CALL ME.

YOU KNOW WHAT
MY SOPHOMORIC DAUGHTER
CALLS ME?

SHE SAYS I AM
A PRAGMATIC POPULIST.

FROM THE MOUTHS OF BABES.
MAYBE SHE'S RIGHT.
I DON'T KNOW.

WE'RE PLAYING HARDBALL HERE.
WE HAVE TO BE CAREFUL
OF YOUR IMAGE.

YOU DON'T WANT TO TARNISH
YOUR LEGACY.

DON'T WORRY ABOUT MY LEGACY.
AFTER WE WIN
WE'LL WORRY ABOUT THE LEGACY.

FIRST WE'VE GOTTA BUST
THAT TAPE.

FIRST WE WIN,
THEN WE CAN BE MR. NICE GUY.

THEN WE CAN BE KINDER...
AND GENTLER.

- WE CAN'T FRIGHTEN PEOPLE OFF.
- AMERICAN PEOPLE
DON'T FRIGHTEN EASILY.

I TELL IT LIKE IT IS.
I DON'T THROW A BUNCH
OF POSIES AND GARLANDS.

I DON'T DO THAT.
AND I SURE AS HELL DON'T GO OUT
ON LISTENING TOURS.

I'VE BEEN LISTENING
TO THE PEOPLE FOR YEARS.
I KNOW WHAT THEY WANT.

THEY JUST WANT
THE GODDAMN TRUTH,
THAT'S ALL.

DAVIS HAS HIS OWN TRUTH.

HE'S CALLING US THE DARK SIDE
OF AMERICAN POLITICS.

I DON'T KNOW.
I GUESS WE'VE ALL GOT
OUR DARK SIDES.

JUST THAT SOME OF US
HAVE SHADOWS A LITTLE DARKER
THAN OTHERS.

MY ENTOURAGE AND I
ARE EMBARKING TODAY...

ON A MISSION OF PEACE.

I WILL HELP SAVE
THE CHILDREN OF THE BALKANS
FROM STARVATION...

IN THIS TIME
OF TERRIBLE STRIFE.

OVER HERE! OVER HERE!

I WILL NEGOTIATE
FOR THE RELEASE...

OF THESE BRAVE AMERICAN FLIERS,
SHOT DOWN WHILE TRYING
TO BRING PEACE TO THE BALKANS.

I WILL BRING THEM HOME.

AND IF YOU
ELECT ME PRESIDENT,
I WILL END THIS WAR.

- CAN WE ASK A QUESTION?
- I'M SORRY, NO MORE QUESTIONS.

AFTER A SHORT FLIGHT
ACROSS THE ATLANTIC,

OUR CANDIDATE WILL HOLD
HIS NEXT CONFERENCE
IN SEVESTRIA.

THANK YOU.
NICE WORK, SHANNON.

TIM MANDELL, ABS NEWS.
POOL REPORTER FOR THE TRIP.

SORRY I MISSED YOUR SPEECH.

- I'LL MAKE SURE A SOUND BYTE
LEADS OFF THE NEWS TONIGHT.
- THANKS, TIM.

KEITH DORMAN WITH
THE PLOWSHARES MOVEMENT.

WE KNOW MR. DORMAN
VERY WELL.

- HOW ARE YOU, KEITH?
SORRY YOU MISSED MY SPEECH.
- I THINK I WROTE MOST OF IT.

MR. DORMAN IS A FORMER
CAMPAIGN WORKER OF OURS.

HOW DID YOU GET
ON THE LIST?
I PUT HIM THERE. I LIKE HIM.

CAPTAIN TYREE?
YES.

SHANNON CARPENTER.
I APOLOGIZE
FOR OUR LATENESS.

CAPTAIN JACK TYREE,
U.S. AIR FORCE.

THE PENTAGON
DOESN'T TRUST ME,
CAPTAIN TYREE?

APPARENTLY NOT.
NEITHER DOES
THE WHITE HOUSE.

THAT'S WHY I'M GOIN'.
JUST TO MAKE SURE YOU
DON'T GIVE AWAY THE STORE.

YOU MEAN MY BIG MOUTH
PROMISE SOMETHING
MY ASS CAN'T DELIVER?

SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

DOUBLE-CHECK THE REVERSE
THRUSTER INDICATOR LIGHT.
I DON'T WANT A PROBLEM.

CAPTAIN ROMAN,
WE'RE READY TO BOARD.

IS THIS YOUR FIRST
INTERNATIONAL?
FIRST TIME ON THE CONCORDE.

IT'S NO DIFFERENT
THAN A 757.
JUST A LITTLE FASTER.

WHY DON'T YOU GET PETER AND I
A CUP OF COFFEE WHILE WE
GO THROUGH THE CHECKLIST.

WE'LL BE READY TO BOARD
IN ABOUT TEN MINUTES.
YES, SIR.

YEAH.
CUTE.

IF I WAS 20 YEARS YOUNGER
AND SINGLE
AND MY COLON WORKED--

COME ON!

STOP IT.

YOU'RE DRIVING ME CRAZY.

THERE.

WILL YOU MARRY ME?

AN ELECTRONICS EXPERT
WITH A BODY LIKE THAT?

YOU'RE NOT GONNA BE
A PROBLEM, ARE YOU?

MISS CARPENTER?
WE SWEPT THE CONCORDE AND
YOU'RE CLEAR TO BOARD NOW.

THANK YOU.
WHO ARE THESE MEN?

SECRET SERVICE.
THE ARRANGEMENTS WERE MADE
BY THE WHITE HOUSE.

THEY WANTED US TO HAVE
PLENTY OF PROTECTION
ON THIS TRIP.

JEFF?

JEFF BAKER!

TYREE?
"WASHOUT" TYREE?

- WHAT'D YOU DO WRONG
TO GET THIS MISSION?
- JUST GOT LUCKY.

I HEARD YOU WERE
GONNA BE ALONG.
CAPTAIN TYREE?

WHAT THE HELL
IS SECRET SERVICE DOING
ABOARD THIS FLIGHT?

WELL, SIR, WITH ALL DUE RESPECT,
I'VE KNOWN THIS MAN
A LOT OF YEARS.

HE SERVED AND PROTECTED
UNDER THREE PRESIDENTS.

WE ARE FLYING INTO A WAR ZONE.
SO UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES,
YOU CAN'T BE TOO CAREFUL.

THANKS, JACK.
SIR, THIS IS AGENT ROGERS.

I HAVE THREE MORE MEN
ON BOARD THE PLANE.

WE'LL DO OUR BEST
TO STAY OUT OF YOUR WAY.
COME ON, HONEY.

SHANNON,
WE'LL DISCUSS THIS LATER.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO TELL ME
WHAT'S WRONG
WITH TIGHTER SECURITY?

WHEN THAT SECURITY IS
PROVIDED BY YOUR CAMPAIGN RIVAL,
IT MAKES FOR REALLY GOOD PRESS,

FOR THE OTHER GUY.

THEY DO THIS TO ME
ON PURPOSE.

ANY TIME THERE'S A SHIT JOB,
JUST SEND OLD TYREE.

CAPTAIN?

TRAVELING WITH YOU
IS GOING TO BE SHEER DELIGHT.

I WOULDN'T COUNT ON IT.
I CAN BE A BIG
PAIN IN THE ASS.

REALLY.

TRANSCRIPTS.

SECRET TESTIMONY
ABOUT AN ILLEGAL ARMS DEAL...

LEADING BACK TO THE WHITE HOUSE,
AND PIKE'S NAME IS ALL OVER
THE DEPOSITIONS.

THIS STUFF
DOESN'T PROVE ANYTHING.
IT'S OLD NEWS.

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
HAS BEEN THROUGH IT WITH THE
SPECIAL PROSECUTOR'S FINE COMB.

YOU'RE GONNA NEED MORE
THAN THAT TO GO AFTER
EITHER OF THESE GUYS.

YOU NEED
THAT SMOKING GUN.
SO, WHAT IS IT?

A DISK.

A COMPUTER FILE CONTAINING
NAMES, DATES AND PLACES.

WHOEVER PULLED THIS DEAL
KEPT DETAILED RECORDS.

HILMER LANSDALE
GOT HIS HANDS ON THE DISK
AND THEN HE DIED.

THERE'S ONE MORE COPY
FLOATING AROUND SOMEWHERE.

SO, HOW ARE WE
GONNA FIND IT?

I WANT YOU TO MEET HARRY.

HE'S RETIRED C.I.A.

MORNING, JILL.
SORRY I'M LATE.
WHAT DO YOU HAVE?

TWO 77's WAITING.
THERE'S A CARGO FLIGHT ON 7-A,
NONSTOP TO SYDNEY.

THEY'RE STILL LOADING.
WHAT'S THIS
CONCORDE MERCY FLIGHT?

HEARD SOMETHING ON THE NEWS.
THE SENATOR'S GOING
TO THE BALKANS...

TO NEGOTIATE FOR SOME
AMERICAN SOLDIERS.

- SAYS HE'S GONNA END THE WAR.
- JUST IN TIME FOR THE ELECTION.
POLITICIANS!

- PUT 'EM ON 7-B.
THIS COFFEE SUCKS.
- I DIDN'T MAKE IT.

ALL RIGHT,
I THINK WE'RE READY.

HELLO, EVERYBODY.
GOOD MORNING.
MY NAME'S WENDY.

MIND IF I JOIN YOU?

JUST FOR TAKEOFF.
I'M A LITTLE UNEASY
ABOUT FLYING.

ANYTHING FOR
"WASHOUT" TYREE.

LOOK, MISS CARPENTER,
ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED
BACK THERE IN THE TERMINAL.

YEAH?

WE'RE GONNA BE WORKING TOGETHER
FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS.

WHAT DO YOU SAY
WE, UM--

WE START OVER?

DEAL.

BUT PLEASE
DON'T TALK TO ME
ANYMORE.

SO, ARE WE CLEAR ON 7-B
FOR THE CONCORDE?

7-B IS CLEAR.

CONCORDE, PLEASE BE ADVISED
YOU HAVE PERMISSION TO TAXI
TO 7-B. OVER.

ROGER, TOWER.
WE'RE ON OUR WAY.
LET'S GO.

OH, IT'S SO BIG.

I DIDN'T KNOW THE CONCORDE
HAD THIS MUCH SEATING ROOM.
SPECIALLY MODIFIED.

THE LAST OCCUPANT
WAS THE PRESIDENT HIMSELF.

WELL, WE'D BETTER
GET USE TO IT THEN.

DID WE HAVE THAT
AIR FORCE SERGEANT CHECKED OUT?

HE'S TYREE'S MAN.
IF HE TRUSTS HIM,
I TRUST HIM.

RELAX.
I'M NOT PAID TO RELAX.

CONCORDE FLIGHT 209,
YOU ARE CLEAR FOR TAKEOFF.

ROGER, TOWER.

DULLES,
THIS IS CONCORDE 209.

WE'RE CLIMBING TO 3-1-4.

ACCELERATING.
WILL CLIMB TEN MILES
EAST OF NEWFOUNDLAND...

TO FIVE-NINER-ZERO.

ROGER, CONCORDE.
TURN RIGHT, HEADING 0-3-6.

ROGER.

FOLKS, OUR ALTITUDE
IS 59,000 FEET.

OUR SPEED IS 1,100 MILES AN HOUR
AND WE'LL TOP OUT
AT 1,400 MILES PER HOUR.

MACH 2.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
YOU'RE NOW TRAVELING AT
TWICE THE SPEED OF SOUND.

AND SAFE AS A BABY
IN HIS CRIB.

WHAT'RE YOU DOING?

FINISHING A QUESTION LIST
FOR MY INTERVIEW.

THE BITCH ACTUALLY GOT YOU
TO SUBMIT YOUR QUESTIONS
IN ADVANCE?

HOW DO YOU THINK
I GOT ON THIS PLANE?
THIS IS AN EXCLUSIVE.

WHAT ABOUT
JOURNALISTIC ETHICS?

THIS ISN'T JOURNALISM,
THIS IS PROSTITUTION.

HE GETS THE COVERAGE
AND I GET THE RATINGS.

I GET THE RATINGS,
I GET A RAISE.
HOW ABOUT YOU?

I DON'T KNOW.

YOU THINK DAVIS
ACTUALLY GIVES A RAT'S ASS ABOUT
YOUR LITTLE PEACE MOVEMENT?

YOUR PROBLEM IS,
YOU STILL BELIEVE IN HIM.

YOU THINK
HE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

THE REST OF US KNOW BETTER.

SO DOES HE.
THEN HOW'D I GET
ON THE PLANE?

SHANNON, WE WANT TO SEE YOU
IN THE OFFICE...

NOW.

WHAT'S GOIN' ON?

I THINK MY POLITICAL CAREER
IS ABOUT TO END.

YOU CAN BE
SUCH AN ASS, TYREE.

SHANNON,
I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED IN YOU.

WE HAD SAID NO SECRET SERVICE
ABOARD THIS MISSION!

I FELT LIKE A FOOL
TALKING TO THOSE REPORTERS!

IS THIS A PRIVATE PARTY,
OR CAN ANYBODY PLAY?

AS I SAID, SIR, I AM SORRY.
I HAD NO WAY OF KNOWING.

STUART, WOULD YOU MIND
TELLING ME
WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?

HOW WELL DO YOU KNOW
THOSE SECRET SERVICE AGENTS?

BAKER'S AN OLD FAMILY FRIEND.
MY FATHER WAS HIS C.O.
IN VIETNAM.

THE OTHERS I DON'T.

- HAVE YOU CHECKED THEM OUT
THOROUGHLY?
- OF COURSE NOT.

THEY'RE THE SECRET SERVICE.

- WHAT ABOUT YOUR OWN MAN?
HAVE YOU CHECKED HIM OUT?
- PERSONALLY? NO.

HE WAS ASSIGNED TO ME
BY THE PENTAGON.

I FIGURE THAT COUNTS
FOR SOMETHING.

PERHAPS YOU'D LIKE TO TELL ME
THE PROBLEM, SIR.

I RECEIVED THIS...

FROM A FORMER CAMPAIGN RIVAL
OF MINE TWO DAYS AGO.

HILMER LANSDALE.

AND NOW HE'S DEAD.

I SUSPECT THAT I'M NEXT
ON THE HIT LIST...

ONCE THEY FIGURE OUT
WHAT I'M PLANNING TO DO WITH IT.

HIT LIST?
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING
ABOUT A HIT LIST, STUART?

KEEP AN EYE ON THINGS.
I'M GONNA CHECK THIS GUY OUT.

ROGERS, PROMISE
YOU'LL BE GENTLE.

HE WON'T FEEL A THING.

WHAT'S ON THE DISK,
SENATOR?

WHAT'S ON THE DISK,
STUART?

SURE AM GLAD TO HAVE
YOU BOYS ALONG
FOR THE RIDE.

IT'S THE LEAST
WE COULD DO.

GOD!
GIMME THAT DISK.

HOW DO I KNOW
YOU'RE NOT ONE OF THEM?
YOU DON'T. COPY IT.

GO!
EVERYBODY ON THE FLOOR.

LET'S GO! ON THE FLOOR.
COME ON.
I WANT ALL YOUR CELL PHONES.

CELL PHONES! NOW!

I'LL DO IT!
DO IT NOW!

HURRY UP!
I'M GOING
AS FAST AS I CAN.

CHECK IT OUT.
WE MAY HAVE A SITUATION HERE.
I'LL CALL DULLES.

DULLES,
THIS IS CONCORDE 209.

WE HAVE A HIJACK SITUATION
ON BOARD.
MULTIPLE SHOTS FIRED.

CONCORDE, ARE YOU STILL
IN CONTROL OF THE AIRCRAFT?
STAND BY, DULLES.

- PUT THE AIRCRAFT
ON AUTOPILOT.
- WHAT DO YOU WANT?

CONCORDE,
THIS IS DULLES. OVER.
PLEASE RESPOND.

- HOW MANY PLANES
HAVE WE GOT IN THE AIR?
- SEVEN.

PUT 'EM IN A CIRCLE
FOR FIVE MINUTES. GET ON THE
PHONE TO THE STATE DEPARTMENT,

THE AIR FORCE, WHOEVER.
FLIGHTS ON SEVEN AND EIGHT,
PLEASE BE ADVISED...

WE REQUEST
YOU CIRCLE THE FIELD.

HOW MUCH TIME?
TWO MINUTES.

- AUTOPILOT, PLEASE.
- YOU GO TO HELL.

OH, MY GOD!
SHE'S GOING DOWN.

CONCORDE, THIS IS DULLES.
PLEASE RESPOND.
I REPEAT, PLEASE RESPOND.

AUTOPILOT?
GOTCHA.

LEWIS, GET IN HERE.

SIT DOWN!

SHE'S NOT GONNA HURT
ANYBODY.

OKAY, LET'S GO.
EVERYONE BACK IN YOUR CHAIRS.
COME ON, LET'S GO.

WATCH HIM.

THE OTHERS ARE STILL
IN THE BACK.

I TOLD YOU
I SMELLED TROUBLE.

COME ON, COME ON!
ONE MINUTE.

WEAPONS.
ANY WEAPONS ON BOARD?

YEAH.
HOW ABOUT THIS?

GREAT.

IS EVERYBODY OKAY?

WHAT'S HAPPENING?
A COUPLE SECRET SERVICE AGENTS
JUST TOOK OVER THE AIRPLANE.

THE DISKS, PLEASE.

WHATEVER THEY'RE PAYING YOU,
IT'S NOT WORTH IT.

CIVIL SERVANT
JUST LIKE YOU.

ORDERS.

THE OTHER ONE.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT,
WE'RE GONNA TAKE
A LITTLE WALK UP FRONT.

MOVE!

THIS MAN NEEDS
MEDICAL ATTENTION.

OH, GOD, JEFF.
HANG IN THERE.
I GOT YOU.

I'LL GET YOU OUT OF THIS.
JUST SAVE YOUR STRENGTH.

SORRY.

PLEASE, NO.
EXCUSE ME.

NO!

DO I HAVE TO KILL
ALL OF YOU?

YOU KEEP FIRING ORDNANCE
THROUGH THIS PLANE,
AND YOU WILL.

DID YOU WANT
TO DEPRESSURIZE AT MACH 2?

E-EXCUSE ME. I HAVE
SOME MEDICAL TRAINING.

FINE. IT WON'T MATTER
IN A FEW MINUTES ANYWAY.

GET HIM OUT OF HERE.

ALL RIGHT.
MRS. DAVIS,
MISS CARPENTER.

YOU CAN STAY HERE AND
KEEP THE GOOD DOCTOR COMPANY,
WITH HIS STAFF AND PATIENT.

CAN I STAY?

I ALMOST FORGOT.
BY ALL MEANS, THE MEDIA.

SENATOR?

WAIT.

IT'S OKAY.
IT'S OKAY.
GET HIM UP!

HEY, HARRY!

- YOU WERE EXPECTING VISITORS?
- IT'S OLD HABITS.

BULLSHIT.
WHO'S SHE?

THIS IS GINA, HARRY.

GINA'S A VILE,
CAREER-HUNGRY CREATURE.
SHE'S VERY SHALLOW.

BUT SHE SLEEPS THE SLEEP
OF THE INNOCENT AND THE JUST.

YOU WANNA TELL HER
THE STORY?

THIS'LL BE THE LAST TIME.

THEY'LL BE COMIN' FOR ME
IF I'M NOT CAREFUL.

YOU TOO.
I PROMISE.

DID YOU EVER HEAR OF
THE FACTORY WAR RUMOR?

FACTORY WAR?
IT'S AN OLD WASHINGTON RUMOR.

THE VIETNAM WAR WAS COOKED UP
BY ARMS MANUFACTURERS
TO BOOST THE ECONOMY.

IT'S ALL BULLSHIT,
OF COURSE.
NO, IT WASN'T. NIXON--

NIXON DIDN'T DO SHIT!
KENNEDY GOT US INTO
THAT DAMN WAR,

AND L.B.J. ESCALATED IT.
YOU ALWAYS BLAME
THE GOOD GUYS.

OKAY, BOTH OF YOU STOP.
CONTINUE.

NOW THIS BOOMING ECONOMY
OF OURS IS DYING.

THE BEST THING
FOR AMERICA NOW IS A WAR,

PARTICULARLY IF ALL WE HAVE
TO DO IS SUPPLY THE WEAPONS AND
A FEW TROOPS TO KEEP THE PEACE.

LET THE POOR, ANGRY MASSES
IN THE BALKANS DO THE REST.

WAIT A MINUTE.

ARE YOU SAYING
WE'RE SUPPLYING ARMS
TO BOTH SIDES?

I NEED A DRINK.

WHAT?

WHAT?

SO, WE'RE SUPPLYING ARMS
TO BOTH SIDES OF THE BALKANS.

WE SUPPLY THE ARMS,
THEY SUPPLY THE ANGER
AND THE CASH.

IT COULD BE A ROGUE OPERATION,
BUT WE THINK THE WHITE HOUSE
IS INVOLVED AT SOME LEVEL.

SOUNDS LIKE WATERGATE
ALL OVER AGAIN.

EXACTLY, EXCEPT INSTEAD
OF A MISSING TAPE,
THERE'S A MISSING DISK.

AND IT MAY IMPLICATE
VICE PRESIDENT PIKE.

SO, WHERE IS THAT DISK?

I BET A WEEK'S PAY
IT'S ON THAT CONCORDE.

CONCORDE, THIS IS DULLES.
DO YOU READ? OVER.

WHERE ARE THE FEDS?
THEY SAID ANY MINUTE.

- CONCORDE, DO YOU READ? OVER.
- YOU'RE PISSIN' IN THE WIND,
SON.

- AGENTS LYNDON AND CURTIS,
N.S.A.
- I AM GLAD YOU GUYS ARE HERE.

WHY DON'T YOU START
FROM THE BEGINNING, AND TRY
NOT TO LEAVE ANYTHING OUT.

LOOK, YOU HAVE THE DISK.

WHAT ELSE IS IT
THAT YOU WANT?
COMPANY.

I'M STILL NOT GETTING
ANY RESPONSE.

WHO IS ON THAT PLANE?
THAT'S A DAMN GOOD
QUESTION.

THE PILOT SAYS
THAT IT'S TERRORISTS.

THAT DOESN'T MEASURE
WITH OUR INTEL.

GIVE ME DULLES CONTROL.

- HOW BAD?
- IT'S A SUCKY CHEST WOUND.
GET OUT OF THE WAY.

YOU HEARD HIM. MOVE BACK.
YOU MIGHT AS WELL
HAVE SHOT HIM YOURSELF.

- LAY OFF, COURTNEY!
- SHE DID IT!
SHE BROUGHT HIM ON HERE.

AND NOW PEOPLE ARE DEAD,
AND HE'S DYING.

TELL HER TO SHUT UP!
YOU HEARD THE MAN.

WILL THIS HELP?
FOR A WHILE.

PUT YOUR HAND HERE.

OH, GOD! OH, GOD!

SENATOR,

WHAT IS IT YOU PLANNED ON DOING
WITH THAT DISK?

TAKE IT TO THE BALKANS.

SHOW IT TO BOTH SIDES.

END THE WAR.

SORRY TO INTERRUPT,
GENTLEMEN.

WE HAVE WORK TO DO.

THIS IS CONCORDE.

FLIGHT 209 TO DULLES.
OVER.

ANSWER IT.
GO AHEAD, CONCORDE.

THIS AIRCRAFT IS NOW
UNDER CONTROL OF
THE SEVESTRIAN LIBERATION ARMY.

WE HAVE A LIST OF DEMANDS.

FIRST, THE COMPLETE EVACUATION
OF ALL AMERICAN...

PEACEKEEPING FORCES
IN OUR COUNTRY.

NO OUTSIDER
COULD BE ON THAT PLANE.

SO NOW WHAT DO I DO?
PLAY ALONG.

CONCORDE 209, THIS IS
DULLES CONTROL. OVER.
COULD YOU GIVE US A SECOND?

NO DELAYS!

WE HAVE A NUCLEAR DEVICE
ON BOARD.

WITHDRAWAL
MUST BE IMMEDIATE...

OR WE WILL CRASH THIS AIRCRAFT
INTO A MAJOR CITY.

CONCORDE,
WE WILL CONTACT AGAIN
IN FIVE MINUTES.

JILL, HAVE SOMEBODY
TAKE YOUR STATION.
I NEED YOUR HELP.

YES, SIR, RIGHT AWAY.

LYNDON, WHAT HAVE YOU GOT?

I'M IN DOMESTIC
VOICE PRINT FILES NOW,
BUT I NEED A LONGER SAMPLE.

WHEN YOU CALL HIM BACK,
KEEP HIM TALKING.

WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE
IF THEY'VE GOT A NUKE
ON THE PLANE?

IT MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE.
IF IT'S OUR PEOPLE GONE BAD,

THERE'S A GOOD CHANCE
THAT THE PART ABOUT THE BOMB
IS A BLUFF.

THEY MAY WANT US
TO THINK THERE'S A BOMB
ON BOARD.

THAT DOESN'T MAKE
ANY SENSE.

YOU KNOW YOU CAN'T GET
A WITHDRAWAL.

AS A MATTER OF FACT,
THE U.S. NAVY
WILL BLOW THIS PLANE...

CLEAN OUT OF THE SKY.

THEY'RE NOT GONNA
GIVE A DAMN ABOUT US.
I'M NOT THAT IMPORTANT.

WE DON'T WANT THEM
TO WITHDRAW.
TAKE US DOWN TO 10,000...

AND DEPRESSURIZE.

ANY NEWS
FROM THE PLANE YET?
NO, SIR.

ONCE WE DO HEAR,
ALL OUR WORRIES
WILL BE OVER.

LIKE F.D.R. SAID, "ALL WE HAVE
TO FEAR IS FEAR ITSELF."
WELL, F.D.R.

IT'S A GOOD SLOGAN, BUT HE
WASN'T THE FIRST TO SAY IT.
REALLY?

YEAH. WE'VE COME A LONG WAY
FROM LADY LIBERTY, I'M AFRAID.

HOW ARE YOU GOING
TO CHANGE THAT, SIR?

I DON'T KNOW, BUT WE WILL.
I'M A PRAGMATIST.

REMEMBER?
YOU JUST HAVE TO TELL IT
LIKE IT IS, I GUESS.

YOU MEAN, EVERYTHING?
THE WAY EVERYTHING IS?

WELL,
LIKE THE MAN SAYS,

DEPENDS ON
WHAT "IS"... IS.

IT'S CONTROLLING
THE TRUTH.

- SHAPING THE TRUTH.
- EXACTLY.

SEE, SENATOR,

WE'RE SUPPOSED TO DIE.

THAT WAY THERE CAN BE
NO EVIDENCE.

NO BODIES FOUND.
ALL WE WANTED WAS
THE DISK FROM DAVIS.

THE PLANE GETS BLOWN
OUT OF THE SKY, AND
SEVESTRIA GETS BLAMED.

THE WAR ESCALATES.

WHAT'S THE POINT?
AIN'T NOTHIN' LIKE
WARTIME ECONOMY...

TO KEEP AMERICA SAFE
AND STRONG.

IT'S OUR PATRIOTIC DUTY.

WE GOT 'EM BACK.
OKAY, WHAT'S NEXT?

ASK TO SPEAK TO THE SENATOR.
TELL THEM WE NEED CONFIRMATION
HE'S ON BOARD.

THE WHOLE FRIGGIN' COUNTRY
KNOWS HE'S ON BOARD!

IT'S JUST THE KIND
OF STUPID ASS QUESTION
THEY'D EXPECT US TO ASK.

GO ON!
CONCORDE,
THIS IS DULLES CONTROL.

WE NEED TO CONFIRM
THAT YOU REALLY HAVE
SENATOR DAVIS ON BOARD.

MAY WE SPEAK TO HIM?

I HAVE CAPTAIN TYREE AND
PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE DAVIS.

I WILL PUT THEM ON.

NAMES ONLY, GENTLEMEN.

PLEASE.

I DON'T TAKE ORDERS
FROM YOU.

WHAT THE HELL
ARE YOU WAITING FOR?

GO ON,
PULL THE TRIGGER.

KILL ME!

I WILL, AND THAT
BITCH WIFE OF YOURS TOO.

WELL,
WHAT'S IT GONNA BE?

SENATOR, COME ON.

THIS IS STUART DAVIS.

- LYNDON, COME ON!
WHAT HAVE YOU GOT?
- JUST A SECOND.

AGENT BARRY ROGERS, U.S. SECRET
SERVICE, AGENT NUMBER 2-3-5-0.

I HAVE CAPTAIN TYREE AND
PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE DAVIS.

- WE HAVE A MATCH.
- GOTCHA, YOU SON OF A BITCH.

BARRY ROGERS: TEN YEARS IN
THE MILITARY, DESERT STORM,
C.I.A. BLACK-OP.

SPECIAL AGENT TO...
VICE PRESIDENT PIKE.

THERE'S THE CONNECTION.
THE OTHER AGENTS ON BOARD
ARE PROBABLY LOCAL TALENT.

WE'RE DEAD.

I BET THAT NUKE THREAT
IS JUST A HOAX.
WE'LL WAIT 'EM OUT.

- I'M SURE YOU GUYS
KNOW YOUR JOBS--
- YOU TRYING TO MAKE A POINT?

IF THEY CRASH THE CONCORDE INTO
SOME BIG CITY LIKE PARIS, IT'S
GONNA MAKE A HELL OF A MESS.

- HE'S GOT A POINT.
- CALL CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE
IN LONDON.

FIND OUT WHAT CARRIER GROUP
IS IN THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC.
I'M ON IT.

- MORNING, SIR.
- LIEUTENANT.

YOU READ THIS DISPATCH?

YES, SIR.
THEY WANT US TO INTERCEPT.

STAND BY UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.
CENTRAL COMMAND
WILL GIVE US THE WORD.

COMMANDER STEVENS,
THE AIRCRAFT IN QUESTION
IS A CONCORDE.

IT'S A PASSENGER FLIGHT,
LIEUTENANT, WITH INNOCENT
AMERICAN CIVILIANS ON BOARD.

IF NECESSARY,
DO YOU THINK YOU CAN
TAKE IT DOWN?

I UNDERSTAND
THE STAKES, SIR.

THAT'LL BE ALL,
LIEUTENANT.

STUART!
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT,
DARLING?

TEN THOUSAND FEET.

WELL, SINCE
WE'RE DEPRESSURIZED,

IT'S PROBABLY SAFE
TO SHOOT ME NOW.

WE'RE COMING NEAR
THE DROP ZONE.

TEN MINUTES
TO THE COAST.

I'LL GET THE PARACHUTES.

WHY DON'T YOU DO
AS HE ASKS? SHOOT HIM.

HERE YOU GO.

WE'RE GONNA GO AFT.

THERE AREN'T
ENOUGH PARACHUTES.

YOU GET THE SHIT JOBS TOO, HUH?
I LIKE THAT.

CONCORDE,
THIS IS PARIS CONTROL.

PLEASE ADVISE US
OF YOUR CURRENT FLIGHT STATUS.

OUR RADAR SHOWS
YOU'RE WELL BELOW
NORMAL FLIGHT PATH.

GO SEE WHAT'S KEEPING LEWIS.

SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE
EVERYBODY WORKS EXTRA HARD...

TO MAKE MY LIFE SUCK.

YOU EVER FEEL LIKE THAT?

CONCORDE, CONCORDE,
DO YOU READ?

OOH!
HONEY, BE CAREFUL.

OKAY, COME ON.

TAKE IT EASY.
THAT'S IT. WATCH IT.

WAIT.
YOU ALL RIGHT?

HOW YOU HOLDING UP?
NOT SO GOOD.

I'M GONNA NEED
SOME HELP HERE.
SIT DOWN.

TAKE THE CONTROLS.

GO ON, GRAB IT.
IT WON'T BITE YOU.

ALL RIGHT.
ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT.

PUT IT ON
AUTOMATIC PILOT.

FLICK THAT SWITCH.

NICE FLYING, GENTLEMEN.

COME ON, BIG BOY,
LET'S GO.

DON'T YOU GIVE UP ON ME,
OKAY?

DON'T WORRY ABOUT ME,
YOU SON OF A BITCH.
I'M TOUGHER THAN YOU'LL EVER BE.

JEFF? JEFF?

OH, GOD.

THAT DIDN'T ACCOMPLISH MUCH,
NOW DID IT?

WE ARE DOWN TWO.

NO, I'M FOLDING, PAL.

HOW FAR ARE WE
FROM THE DROP ZONE?
TEN MINUTES, MAYBE MORE.

WE JUST PASSED
THE COAST OF FRANCE.
AND THE PILOT?

- DEAD.
- GOOD.

WAIT!
TAKE ME WITH YOU.

I CAN TELL
YOUR SIDE OF THE STORY
ON NETWORK TELEVISION!

GET YOU ALL THE P.R.
YOU NEED
TO GET OUT OF THIS.

REALLY?
NETWORK TELEVISION?

OKAY. MOVE.

- DON'T DO IT, MANDELL.
- YOU GO TO HELL!

HOW DO I PUT
THIS THING ON?
YOU DON'T.

THIS IS OUR STOP.

I HAVE GOOD NEWS
AND BAD NEWS.

THE BAD NEWS: NO CHUTES,
NO PILOT, NO RADIO.

WHAT ABOUT THE BOMB?
THAT'S THE GOOD NEWS.

THERE WAS NO BOMB.

IT WAS JUST WINDOW DRESSING
FOR THE PRESS.
HAVE A NICE FLIGHT.

YOU'LL BE LANDING SOON.

KEITH!
KEITH, HELP ME!

GIMME A HAND.

YOU OKAY?
I'M OKAY.

I'M GONNA GO CHECK
ON MRS. DAVIS.

I GUESS THEY FORGOT...

WE'VE GOT AN AIR FORCE CAPTAIN
ON BOARD.
I CAN'T FLY.

-WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
-I MEAN, I CAN'T FLY THIS PLANE.

- YOU'RE IN THE AIR FORCE.
- NOT EVERYBODY IN THE AIR FORCE
CAN FLY.

I'M PART OF ANTI-TERRORIST
GROUND FORCE.

I NEVER LEARNED
HOW TO FLY.

I DON'T EVEN LIKE PLANES.

AND HE KNEW THAT.

COME ON, BABY.
COME ON.

ROLL WITH ME.
ROLL WITH ME.

- OH, CHRIST.
- LOOKS LIKE YOU GOT
THE JOB ANYWAY.

THAT'S GENERALLY
THE WAY IT GOES WITH ME.

COME ON.

PARIS, PLEASE STAND BY.
PARIS CONTROL'S REPORTING
THE CONCORDE EVEN...

AT 5,000 FEET,
AND THERE'S TWO PARACHUTES
IN THEIR AIR SPACE.

WE CAN'T AFFORD
TO TAKE ANY MORE CHANCES.

ADVISE THE WHITE HOUSE.
SUGGEST THE PLANE BE TAKEN OUT
IMMEDIATELY.

TAKEN OUT?
WHAT DO I TELL
LA BOUREGIE?

TELL THEM NOT TO LET
THAT PLANE LAND
UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.

YES, SIR.

YOU THINK OF EVERYTHING.
I HAVE TO.

THEY AFTER US?

- THAT WOULD BE MY GUESS.
- WHO ARE THEY?

MORE OF US.

WHY ARE THEY AFTER US?
BECAUSE WE DID OUR JOB.

I THOUGHT THE VICE PRESIDENT
WANTED THE DISKS?

MAYBE HE JUST WANTED
TO BE SURE.

MAYBE HE WANTED TO KNOW
THAT I ACTUALLY GOT IT.
I DON'T KNOW.

HE'S A SMART MAN.
HE PROBABLY THINKS I'M GONNA
SELL IT TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER.

- YOU GONNA?
- OH, YEAH.

I'VE HAD ENOUGH
OF THIS SHIT.

THAT DID IT.

ALL RIGHT.

THEY HAD RADIOS,
SO WATCH OUT FOR A ROADBLOCK.

TOO LATE.

CONCORDE, THIS IS PARIS CONTROL.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LAND.
I REPEAT.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LAND.
OH, GOD. I HEAR YA.
HOLD YOUR WATER.

TURN YOUR AIRCRAFT AROUND
AND RETURN TO THE U.S.

THEY WON'T LET US LAND.
LET ME TALK TO THEM
ON THE RADIO.

NO, NO.
THE SPEAKER ONLY RECEIVES.

TILL YOU LEARN HOW
TO LAND THIS THING--

DON'T TALK LIKE THAT. YOU'RE
IN CONTROL OF THIS FLIGHT.
YOU CAN TAKE US IN.

I DON'T THINK I HAVE TIME
TO TEACH YOU HOW.

JUST TAKE IT EASY.
I NEED FOR YOU TO EXPLAIN
VERY CAREFULLY...

WHAT IT IS
I'M SUPPOSED TO DO HERE.

CAPTAIN? CAPTAIN?

OH, CHRIST!

TAKE CONTROL.
TAKE CONTROL.

WHY DON'T YOU BRING
MISS CARPENTER UP HERE?

MAYBE SHE CAN HELP US
WITH THE RADIO.

AND, KEITH,

TAKE THE CAPTAIN
TO THE BACK.

CIRCLE. GOTTA CIRCLE.

CONCORDE, THIS IS PARIS CONTROL.
DO YOU READ?

HERE'S SOME WATER.

- HOW ABOUT SOME WATER?
- TAKE SOME WATER, HONEY.
- NO, THANK YOU.

MISS CARPENTER,
TYREE WANTS TO SEE YOU UP FRONT.

JUST A LITTLE SIP?

I DON'T WANT
ANY WATER.
ALL RIGHT.

HERE. HERE.
TELL ME WHERE
THE PAIN IS.

HERE AND HERE,
MOSTLY.

A SQUEEZING.
I CAN'T BREATHE.

ALL RIGHT.
THAT COULD MEAN
A BROKEN RIB OR TWO.

LET ME GET YOU, UH--
LET ME GET YOU
A COUPLE PILLOWS.

WHY DID YOU LET
HIM COME, STUART?

SWEETHEART,
NOW IS NOT THE TIME.

I WANT TO KNOW.

I FELT LIKE WE'D--
WE'D LOST OUR COMPASS.

LOST A LITTLE OF
WHAT WE BELIEVE IN.

I THOUGHT MAYBE--

MAYBE KEITH COULD
HELP US FIND IT.

OH, MY GOD.

YEAH, WELCOME TO
AMATEUR HOUR.

LOOK. I SAW YOU BACK THERE
IN WASHINGTON WITH THAT CAMERA.

DO YOU REALLY KNOW
ANYTHING ABOUT ELECTRONICS?
A LITTLE.

DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING
ABOUT FLYING A PLANE?

NOT A DAMN THING. WHY DO YOU
THINK THEY CALL ME "WASHOUT"?

WHY DON'T YOU SEE IF
YOU CAN FIX THAT RADIO BEFORE
I MANAGE TO GET US ALL KILLED.

I'LL NEED SOME TOOLS.

TRUST A SWISS?

OH, GREAT.

ALL RIGHT, GENTLEMEN,
LET'S GET 'EM UP.

THE AIRCRAFT
IN QUESTION IS A CONCORDE
SUPERSONIC PASSENGER JET.

THE CONCORDE IS UNDER
THE CONTROL OF TERRORISTS
ARMED WITH A NUCLEAR WEAPON.

IT CAN FLY AS FAST
AS AN F-14, GENTLEMEN,

AND ONE HELL
OF A LOT FARTHER.

YOUR ORDERS:
TO INTERCEPT AND DESTROY.

I DIDN'T EXPECT THIS
LEVEL OF DIFFICULTY.

THIS COUNTRY WILL NOT
PUT UP WITH ANOTHER
WHITE HOUSE SCANDAL.

I'M NOT PAYING FOR MISTAKES.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND?
I-I'M SORRY.

IF THE F.B.I.
FINDS YOU-- IF--

YOU'LL BE IN ANOTHER
STATE OF BEING.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND,
MY FRIEND?

THANKS FOR THE WARNING.
IT'S NOT A WARNING.
IT'S A FACT.

THIS IS THE WARNING:
YOU DISAPPEAR, MY FRIEND.

AND IF THE F.B.I.
CANNOT FIND YOU,

WE PROBABLY
WON'T KILL YOU.

SO, HOW YOU DOIN'?
GOOD.

GREAT.
SORRY.

I KNOW IT'S
A LITTLE TIGHT.
DO YOU MIND?

- NEED TO GET DOWN THERE?
- YEAH.

SO, HOW'D YOU LEARN
HOW TO DO THAT?

ELECTRONICS,
I MEAN.

CAN YOU HOLD IT STEADY?

I'M TRYIN'.
IT'S HARD.

I THINK I FEEL
SOMETHING.

SO, DO YOU THINK
YOU GOT IT?

WE'RE PROBABLY GOING
A LITTLE TOO FAST.

WHY DON'T I
SLOW US DOWN.

SO?

MY DAD WAS A BROADCAST ENGINEER.
HE NEVER BOUGHT US STEREOS.

HE ALWAYS BOUGHT US
THOSE RADIO KITS THAT
YOU HAD TO BUILD FROM SCRATCH.

I GOT INTO IT.

SAFE HOBBY FOR
A TEENAGE GIRL,
I GUESS.

PROBABLY KEPT YOU OUT
OF A LOT OF BACKSEATS.

ONLY THE ONES
I DIDN'T WANNA RIDE IN.

HOW'S THE FUEL?

I DON'T KNOW.
MAYBE ANOTHER
FIVE HOURS OR SO.

CERTAINLY MORE THAN ENOUGH
TO KEEP US UP IN THE AIR.

THAT IS, UNTIL THE NAVY SHOWS UP
AND BLOWS US OUT OF THE SKY.

YOU THINK THEY'LL COME?

YEAH.
THEY'LL COME.

I DON'T WANNA DIE.

NEITHER DO I.

HOW'S THAT, MRS. DAVIS?

YOU'RE AN ANGEL.

- SHE'S TOUGH.
- SHE'S A HARD ASS.

SORRY.

WHAT IS IT?

INTERNAL BLEEDING.

OH, KEITH,
NONSENSE.

I NEED TO EXAMINE
YOUR CHEST.

YEAH, I BET YOU DO.
NO, REALLY.
I'M SERIOUS.

YOU'RE NOT A DOCTOR.
I'M THE CLOSEST THING
YOU GOT.

HE'S ALL WE HAVE GOT,
SO PLEASE...

LET HIM TAKE
A LOOK AT YOU.
YES, MA'AM.

KEITH, WHAT IS IT?

BREATHE.

AGAIN.
I CAN'T.

I HEAR FLUID.
I THINK SHE PUNCTURED A LUNG.

I NEED TO THINK.

HOW BAD IS IT?

HER LUNGS ARE
FILLING WITH BLOOD.
SHE'LL DROWN.

- WHAT CAN YOU DO?
- HE CAN SAVE HER.

THIS IS ILLEGAL.
WHAT ARE YOU?
A COP?

WELL, YOU MIGHT AS WELL SEE
IF ANYBODY ELSE IS HERE.

I HAVEN'T GOT THE DISK.

-LET US BRING YOU IN.
-YOU CAN'T PROTECT ME FROM THEM.

YES, WE CAN.

IF YOU GO PUBLIC,
PIKE CAN'T AFFORD TO KILL YOU.

HE'D JUST
IMPLICATE HIMSELF.

ONCE THE PRESIDENT FINDS OUT
HIS V.P. IS CONDUCTING
HIS OWN PRIVATE WAR--

THIS IS THE PRESIDENT'S WAR.

THE PRESIDENT?
JESUS, THIS IS 1974
ALL OVER AGAIN.

BY NOW, A CONCORDE HAS GONE DOWN
SOMEWHERE OVER EUROPE.

SUPPOSEDLY...

TAKEN DOWN BY
BALKAN TERRORISTS.

DAVIS' PLANE.
DAVIS HAD THE DISK?

THAT PLANE CARRIED
THE ONLY EVIDENCE LINKING
THE PRESIDENT TO THIS WAR.

THE PRESIDENT
WANTED TO MAKE SURE
THIS WAR CONTINUED.

SURE. KEEP THAT
ECONOMY PUMPIN'.

PUMP, PUMP, PUMP!

YOU GUYS ARE SOMETHIN'--
A REAL GIFT FROM HEAVEN.

COME IN.

TELL YOUR STORY.
AND GO TO PRISON?

I EITHER DIE IN PRISON
OR I DIE ON THE RUN.

YOU CAN'T HELP ME.
I'M AN UNNAMED
WHITE HOUSE SOURCE,

AND I'VE JUST
GIVEN YOU THE STORY.

CONSIDERING MY SITUATION,
I'D SAY THAT'S
PRETTY DAMN GENEROUS.

- I APPRECIATE THE OFFER,
BUT NO FURTHER COMMENT.
- YOU HAVE TO GET OUT.

- I WILL.
- LET'S GO.

- WHERE WILL YOU GO?
- I'VE GOT A PRETTY GOOD IDEA.

GET ANYTHING YET?

NO. QUIT BUGGIN' ME.

LOOK, I'M GONNA GO BACK
AND CHECK ON THE PASSENGERS.

WE'RE ON AUTOPILOT,
SO DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING.

YOU DON'T KNOW ANY MORE
ABOUT THIS PLANE THAN I DO.

IF YOU RUN INTO A PROBLEM,
JUST COME GET ME.

YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.

LOOK, I KNOW WE'RE ALL
VERY TIRED AND SCARED,

SO I'M NOT GONNA TRY TO
SWEET-TALK ANYBODY HERE, OKAY?

WE'RE IN TROUBLE.

SHIT.

RIGHT NOW WE'RE FLYIN'
IN CIRCLES WHILE WE TRY
TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO.

IF SHANNON
CAN FIX THE RADIO,

THERE MAY BE A CHANCE THAT
PARIS CONTROL CAN TALK US IN.

- AND IF SHE CAN'T, WE'RE DEAD.
- NO, DAMN IT!

WE'RE ALIVE,

AND WE'RE GONNA
GET THROUGH THIS.

I WON'T HAVE IT
ANY OTHER WAY.

ALL RIGHT,
STUART.

- YOU ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT.
- ALMOST ALWAYS.

JACK, THERE'S SOMETHIN'
YOU NEED TO SEE.

WHAT'S THAT?

WELL, WHAT DO
YOU KNOW, KEITH?
WE'VE GOT AN ESCORT.

ALL RIGHT, STRAP IN, EVERYBODY.
THIS IS GONNA BE
AN E-TICKET RIDE.

DULLES, THIS IS
PARIS CONTROL.

WE ARE TRACKING U.S. NAVY JETS
IN OUR AIRSPACE. PLEASE ADVISE.

PARIS, PLEASE STAND BY.

PARIS, THIS IS GEORGE CURTIS
WITH THE NATIONAL
SECURITY AGENCY.

DO YOU
SPEAK ENGLISH?

THERE THEY ARE.

I SEE 'EM.

LET'S NOT PANIC.

CONCORDE, THIS IS U.S. NAVY
FLIGHT 107. DO YOU COPY?

I REPEAT, DO YOU COPY?
OVER.

JUST GET THAT RADIO UP.

- SHANNON?
- I'M WORKIN' ON IT!

- OKAY, RED, ME FIRST.
- ROGER, LIEUTENANT.

OKAY, EVERYBODY.
HANG ON!

PREPARE TO LAUNCH MISSILES.
DID YOU HEAR THAT?

NOW IT'S TIME
TO PANIC.

I AM DOWN TO THREE TRANSISTORS.
ONE OF THEM'S GOTTA WORK.

I DON'T WANNA HEAR THE PROBLEM!
JUST GIVE ME THE ANSWER!

HERE WE GO.

- WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO?
- PRAY WE GET LUCKY.

MISSILE LOCK.
GOOD TONE.

INCOMING!

- I'M GONNA HAVE TO
DO BETTER THAN THAT.
- YOUR HEART'S NOT IN IT, SIR.

I'VE GOTTA SWING AROUND.
GET IT DONE, RED.

ONE MORE SHOT OUGHTA DO IT.
HE'S COMIN' BACK AROUND.

- THROTTLE BACK.
- WHAT?

- THROTTLE BACK!
- WHAT ARE YOU DOIN'?

SHE BETTER HURRY UP
AND FIX THAT RADIO!

THERE MUST BE SOME WAY
WE CAN SIGNAL THEM, KEITH.

OH, MY GOD.
THAT'S IT.

HOLD ON TIGHT.
I'VE GOT AN IDEA.
COME ON, KEITH!

- WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?
- SAW IT IN A MOVIE ONCE.

YOU KNOW WE COULD'VE STALLED?
WOULD YOU PLEASE LET ME
FLY THE PLANE?

IT WORKED,
DIDN'T IT?

ALL RIGHT, LET'S FINISH IT.

- WE'RE RUNNIN' OUT OF TIME.
- DAMN!

HERE. KEITH.
YEAH?

TIE THESE THINGS
TOGETHER, OKAY?
WELL, WHY?

DON'T ASK QUESTIONS.
JUST TIE 'EM. COME ON.

STUART, NO, NO!
WHAT ARE YOU DOIN'?

YOU'LL SEE!
JUST HELP ME WITH THIS!

GEEZ!
HOLD ON!

ALL RIGHT!

STUART, WHAT THE HELL
ARE YOU DOING?

WHAT THE HELL
DO YOU THINK I'M DOING?

WAVING THE WHITE FLAG!

YOU'RE OUTTA
YOUR MIND!

- THEY'RE GIVING US
THE WHITE FLAG, SIR.
- BREAK IT OFF!

LOOK! HA-HA!
IT'S WORKING!

- WHY'D THEY QUIT?
- I DON'T KNOW.

CONTROLS ARE SLUGGISH.

- MAYBE THAT LAST MISSILE?
- SOMETHING'S WRONG.

SIR, WE'VE BROKEN OFF
THE ATTACK.

ON WHAT AUTHORITY,
LIEUTENANT?

THEY APPEAR TO BE SURRENDERING,
AND THEY'RE LOSING FUEL.

HAVE THEY ACKNOWLEDGED
OUR RADIO TRANSMISSION?

NO, SIR. PERHAPS
THEIR RADIO'S DAMAGED.

HOLD YOUR COURSE, LIEUTENANT.
COULD BE A TRICK.

WE HAVE ORDERS
FROM THE WHITE HOUSE TO
TAKE IT DOWN, LIEUTENANT.

- YOU DO IT.
- AYE, AYE, SIR.

ALL RIGHT, RED,
YOU HEARD THE MAN.

SHANNON,
I NEED THAT RADIO!

MISSILES LOCKED.
GOOD TONE, SIR.

GOT IT.
HOPEFULLY
THIS IS IT.

MAYDAY! THIS IS
CONCORDE NUMBER 209.
MAYDAY. DO YOU READ?

- SHIT! BREAK IT OFF!
- I'M WAITING FOR
AN UPDATE, LIEUTENANT.

STAND BY, SIR.
CONCORDE, THIS IS NAVY 107.

DO YOU COPY?
DAMN, I'M GOOD.

NAVY, THIS IS CAPTAIN TYREE,
U.S. AIR FORCE,

PENTAGON ASSIGNMENT
TO THIS FLIGHT.

MY REPORT IS WE HAVE
NO TERRORISTS ON BOARD,
AND NO BOMB.

DO NOT FIRE.
I REPEAT, PLEASE DO NOT FIRE.

NO NUKE.
WHO'S FLYING
THAT PLANE?

HE'S AIR FORCE.
HE'LL LAND THAT PLANE.

NOT ACCORDING TO THIS.
SAYS HERE HIS NICKNAME
IS "WASHOUT."

HE'S DONE EVERYTHING ELSE
BUT FLY PLANES.

WHAT'S THE STATUS
OF YOUR FLIGHT CREW?

ALL DEAD, SIR.
I'M ALONE AT THE CONTROLS.

HAVE YOU HAD ANY FLIGHT TIME
ON A JET, CAPTAIN?

UNTIL TODAY, NO.

I SEE, SIR.
WE HAVE AN IMMEDIATE PROBLEM.
YOU HAVE A MAJOR FUEL LEAK.

WHAT CAN WE DO
ABOUT THAT?

IF YOU LOOK TO THE LEFT
OF THE MAIN PANEL,
ABOVE EYE LEVEL,

YOU SHOULD SEE A SWITCH
MARKED "AUTO SHUTOFF."

AUTO SHUTOFF.
YES.
THROW IT.

GOT IT.

WHAT'S YOUR FUEL LOAD?

AUXILIARIES READ
"QUARTER LOAD."

WHAT ABOUT YOUR MAINS?

MAINS...
READ "DRY."

DON'T LOSE HER, KEITH.
DON'T LOSE HER.

CAN YOU
GET US DOWN?

RED, CONTACT
PARIS CONTROL.

LET 'EM KNOW THAT THE CONCORDE
IS LOW ON FUEL.

MAKE SURE LANDING NETS
ARE SET AND WAITING.

YES, SIR.
GOOD LUCK.

PARIS, THIS IS
U.S. NAVY FLIGHT 207.

HAVE YOU BEEN
MONITORING THIS?

- YES, WE HAVE, NAVY.
- THEY NEED TO LAND
AT THE NEAREST FIELD.

THAT'S YOU. DO YOU HAVE
ANYONE IN CONTROL WITH
ANY FLIGHT EXPERIENCE?

WE'LL TAKE IT FROM HERE.

CONCORDE,
THIS IS LA BOUREGIE.

YOU ARE DOING FINE.

I USED TO FLY JETS MYSELF
IN THE FRENCH NAVY,

AND I THINK I-I MAY BE
ABLE TO HELP YOU.

- ROGER THAT.
- JACK.

I SWITCHED IT
DURING THE TAKEOVER.

HID IT IN THE TRASH.

CAPTAIN, DROP YOUR FLAPS...

TEN DEGREES.

TEN DEGREES?
ROGER THAT.

NOW WHAT ABOUT THESE
LANDING NETS YOU WERE
TALKIN' ABOUT?

WELL, IF YOU COME IN TOO FAST
AND CAN'T STOP THE CONCORDE,

THOSE NETS WILL DO
THE JOB FOR YOU.

WHY WOULD I NOT
BE ABLE TO STOP?

WELL, A SUDDEN POWER
SHUTDOWN WOULD DO IT...

WHEN YOU
RUN OUT OF FUEL.

WHEN I RUN OUTTA FUEL.

GREAT.

I'LL GO PREPARE
EVERYONE.

GOOD LUCK.

HEY, ANDRE, ARE YOU REALLY SURE
THOSE NETS ARE GONNA WORK...

ON A HIGH-SPEED
EMERGENCY LANDING?

WELL, IT WORKED FOR ME.

AND I LIVED
TO TELL YOU ABOUT IT.

UM, TYREE'S GOT IT
ALL UNDER CONTROL,

AND WE'RE GONNA BE
LANDING SOON.

LET'S STRAP IN.

DROP YOUR FLAPS
ANOTHER FIVE DEGREES.

FIVE DEGREES.
ROGER THAT.

WHAT'S HAPPENING?
WHAT'S HAPPENING?

I DON'T KNOW.
I'M LOSIN' IT!
SHE'S OUTTA FUEL.

- WELL, HANG ON.
SHE WILL GLIDE.
- I HOPE SHE WILL.

- HOLD IT STEADY.
- I'M TRYIN', BUDDY.

I'M TRYIN'.

- YOU A BETTIN' MAN?
- I'M BETTING ON
BOTH OF US, CAPTAIN.

HANG ON TIGHT.

THROTTLE BACK!
THROTTLE BACK!
THROTTLE BACK!

THEY MADE IT!

HE DID IT!
OH, MY GOD!

HE DID IT!
HE DID IT!

WE'RE OKAY.
WE'RE OKAY.
WE'RE OKAY.

NICE LANDING, CAPTAIN.

I COULD NOT HAVE
DONE IT BETTER MYSELF.

THANK YOU, LA BOUREGIE.

BY THE WAY,
THE NAME WAS "WASHOUT."

MERCI, PIERRE.

WE'RE DOWN!
WE'RE DOWN.

WE MADE IT.

HOW IS EVERYONE?
WE'RE OKAY.

MRS. DAVIS NEEDS
AN AMBULANCE.
SO DO YOU.

WELL, WOMEN AND
CHILDREN FIRST.

HEY, STUART.

YOU ALWAYS GET
WHAT YOU WANT.

ALMOST ALWAYS.

THANKS A LOT.
AND ONE MORE THING.

WE KNOW.
THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN.

OF COURSE IT DID.
SAY WHAT YOU LIKE.

ENJOY YOUR 15 MINUTES.

BUT WE WEREN'T HERE.

I NEED A DRINK.
HOW ABOUT A BEER
IN THE TERMINAL?

IT'S BETTER THAN MY COFFEE.
ANYTHING'S BETTER
THAN YOUR COFFEE, TED.

SO WHERE TO NOW, SIR?
THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT.

YOU'RE ABOUT TO TAKE DOWN
YOUR FIRST ADMINISTRATION.

DO YOU THINK THE
PRESIDENT'S INVOLVED?

IF HE ISN'T, HE'LL GIVE US PIKE.
IF HE IS, HE'LL FIGHT US.

EITHER WAY,
HE'LL HAVE TO STEP DOWN.

THE PUBLIC MUST NEVER LOSE
CONFIDENCE IN THE OFFICE--
ONLY IN THE PRESIDENT.

GOOD THING THEY
DON'T KNOW WHAT WE KNOW.
YEAH.

ARE YOU AWARE, SIR,

THAT DAVIS' CONCORDE
HAS LANDED SAFELY?

ARE YOU AWARE, SIR,
THAT WE SPOKE TO WHITNEY?

AND THAT THE PASSENGERS
ABOARD THAT PLANE...

WILL CORROBORATE
EVERYTHING HE TOLD US?

WELL, IT WAS A HELL
OF AN IDEA, WASN'T IT?

PLANNING OUR OWN PRIVATE WAR
TO PROTECT THE AMERICAN ECONOMY.

NOT ORIGINAL, BUT IT
WAS A HELL OF AN IDEA.

I THINK YOU UNDERESTIMATE
THIS COUNTRY, SIR.

WE HAVE COLD, HARD PROOF,
AND WITNESSES.

I THINK YOU OVERESTIMATE
THE PEOPLE'S REACTION, SIR.

AND IN THE FINAL ANALYSIS,
IT'S THEIR WORD AGAINST OURS.

AND WHO'S GONNA BELIEVE THEM?

I WILL, SIR.

MUTANT BASTARD THINKS HE'S
GONNA GET AWAY WITH THIS,
AND HE JUST MIGHT.

BY GOD, I MISS NIXON.
AT LEAST NIXON KNEW
WHEN HE WAS LICKED.
YEAH.

I LEARNED A FEW THINGS
FROM NIXON.

COME TO DADDY.

UH, I'M SORRY.

I WAS WRONG
ABOUT YOU.
GET BETTER.

KEITH.

YOU WANT YOUR OLD JOB BACK?

- MAYBE.
- MAYBE? OH.

WELL, I GUESS WE'LL
ALWAYS HAVE PARIS,

CAPTAIN.

SENATOR?

I BELIEVE
THIS BELONGS TO YOU.

NICE WORK, SHANNON.

NOW EVERYONE
WILL KNOW THE TRUTH.

PLAY YOUR CARDS RIGHT,
SENATOR, YOU'LL BE IN
THE WHITE HOUSE BY JANUARY.

OH, IT'S NOT OVER YET.

WE STILL HAVE TO
GET OUR BOYS OUT OF
THAT BALKAN PRISON.

YOU STILL WITH ME?

YES, SIR.

THE LAST TIME
I SAW PARIS.

WELL, THE, UH,
LAST TIME I SAW PARIS...

WAS AT THE, UM,
DRIVE-IN MOVIES.

FRONT SEAT OR BACK?
THE BACK.

I ALWAYS LIKED THE BACKSEAT.
SMOOTHER RIDE.
