00:00:30Where did that thing come from?
00:00:33I didn't see anything.
00:00:34Bandit, breaking nine o'clock.
00:00:35Negative radar on contact.
00:00:36I'm only painting us.
00:00:37Man, this guy's a phantom.
00:00:38Deploying countermeasures.
00:02:09If Senator Burke is a definite no vote, then we're gonna have to get both Gordon and Hathaway
00:02:29on board.
00:02:30If not, we can kiss the FEX jet funding goodbye.
00:02:34See if you can set up dinner with either tonight or breakfast tomorrow, just as soon as possible.
00:02:40And pull up last week's defense budget report.
00:02:42You know they'll both ask.
00:02:43All right, let's get this done.
00:02:44Jesus, Zack.
00:02:45Emily, call the White House and let them know I'll be coming over.
00:03:12I want a meeting with the president as soon as possible.
00:03:15Tell them it's national security related.
00:03:17Have the Secret Service bring the car rail.
00:03:27Vice President Thomas, the president will see you in the library.
00:03:29Rick.
00:03:30Mr. President.
00:03:31Excellent timing.
00:03:32I was gonna call you later.
00:03:34I'd like to discuss the shoot down on the volunteer flight that you called yesterday.
00:03:38I'm listening.
00:03:39They were lost under highly unusual circumstances.
00:03:43The Russians have no effective anti-aircraft at the front and there were no enemy radar
00:03:47contacts.
00:03:48These were superb pilots, sir.
00:03:50Top aviators from all over the world.
00:03:52Their skipper flew under me in the Navy.
00:03:54Guy was a legend.
00:03:56Not an easy kill.
00:03:57Yet we have no idea what took him and his pilots down.
00:04:00Well, the Pentagon is looking into it.
00:04:03Sir, we both know Pentagon intel moves at a snail's pace.
00:04:06If the Russians are developing new capabilities, then we need to figure out what they are and
00:04:11move to counter.
00:04:12Well, the second I know something, so will you.
00:04:14Well, we've got bigger things in front of us right now.
00:04:16We're hosting a peace summit here in DC and the Russians want to negotiate a peace settlement
00:04:21in Ukraine.
00:04:22Well, if that's true, it's only because they're losing.
00:04:26They're stalling, sir, trying to buy time to maneuver in.
00:04:29When is this happening?
00:04:30Talks begin tomorrow.
00:04:31President Vasiliev was serious about getting something done and so am I.
00:04:36What do the Ukrainians say?
00:04:37Are they on board?
00:04:38They'll go along with whatever we decide.
00:04:40What makes you so sure?
00:04:41Well, they've suffered terrible losses and hardships.
00:04:43They want this conflict over more than anyone.
00:04:46At the cost of their sovereignty?
00:04:48The very thing they've been fighting for?
00:04:49They've held the Russians back, but only just.
00:04:51And look at how many lives it's cost civilian as well as military.
00:04:54Sir, that's exactly my point.
00:04:57When a war is focused as much on civilian as it is military targets, it loses all claim
00:05:02to legitimacy, as do its perpetrators.
00:05:05They should not be negotiated with.
00:05:07And what happens when this conflict ends?
00:05:09Or it expands, spins out of control across all of Europe?
00:05:12How many lives will it cost to fight a third world war?
00:05:15I'm asking you.
00:05:16Sir, now is not the time to cut a deal.
00:05:19When the FAX fighter program comes online in a few months, we'll be negotiating from
00:05:24a position of much greater strength.
00:05:27We don't have the votes to keep your Wonderjet funded, I'm sorry.
00:05:31Because our party refuses to prioritize national defense.
00:05:37Jeremiah, you could help change minds on that.
00:05:40But I'm out there all alone.
00:05:44We don't need another billion-dollar weapons system, Rick.
00:05:47We have a real chance here.
00:05:49To broker a lasting peace.
00:05:53If everybody gets on board, this can happen, okay?
00:06:02I hope I can count on you.
00:06:04Of course, Mr. President.
00:06:06Of course.
00:06:15What are you doing?
00:06:17Coding software.
00:06:19To do what?
00:06:21Triangulate vector headings and intercept points.
00:06:24Who needs that?
00:06:26Oh, you know, just competent naval aviators.
00:06:29So?
00:06:30Yeah.
00:06:31I can see how that wouldn't interest you.
00:06:34Officer on deck!
00:06:37At ease.
00:06:39Seats.
00:06:40Today we resume test flight of the FAX supersonic stealth fighter.
00:06:44After last week's successful altitude tests, today we'll be testing ACM in 1v1 dogfights.
00:06:49Now this exercise has a hard deck of 10,000 feet and a hard ceiling of 40,000 feet.
00:06:55Maximum speed is sub-mach 1.
00:06:58Any questions?
00:07:01The man up, let's get him in the air.
00:07:08Footloose, Firefly, you're up first.
00:07:10Firefly, you're the aggressor.
00:07:12Roger that, sir.
00:07:20Damn, these things can move!
00:07:26Target lock.
00:07:28Like hell.
00:07:32Damn it!
00:07:40Controls are sticking. I'm still climbing.
00:07:43Knock it off, Footloose. You've exceeded 40,000 feet and broke the hard ceiling.
00:07:50Shit.
00:07:52Lieutenant, your performance today is rated cut.
00:07:54What did you think you were doing up there?
00:07:56Trying to perform the exercises ordered, sir.
00:07:58Evading target lock.
00:08:00Evading target lock by exceeding the designated hard ceiling.
00:08:03It was an accident, sir. Rapid ascent is a common evasive tactic and real fights tend to...
00:08:07Lieutenant, it doesn't matter.
00:08:09Today's results have to be scrapped and now we're a day behind.
00:08:12Which I have to explain to my superiors who aren't going to forgive me on account of my famous ace sibling
00:08:17because I don't have one of those to keep bailing me out.
00:08:20You're off FAX test for the duration.
00:08:22Sir, please.
00:08:24Take your licks, Lieutenant.
00:08:26Consider yourself lucky to be flying at all.
00:08:29If I had my druthers, you'd be grounded permanently.
00:08:32Now hear this. Now hear this.
00:08:34Lieutenant Adam Majors, report to the communications room.
00:08:38Saved by the bell, Lieutenant.
00:08:40Once again, dismissed.
00:09:00Majors.
00:09:02Footloose.
00:09:04Defender.
00:09:06Pleasant surprise.
00:09:08How are you?
00:09:10Unpopular as ever with the law and order types.
00:09:12Ever consider the military wasn't the place for you?
00:09:14No, sir.
00:09:16They're the ones with the fighter jets for me to fly.
00:09:18How's the plane?
00:09:20Most maneuverable aircraft I've ever flown.
00:09:22Viable to be our next generation fighter?
00:09:25No question, yes.
00:09:27Good. There may be a lot riding on it.
00:09:30Is that why you called?
00:09:32To check up on the plane?
00:09:34It's not. I'm afraid.
00:09:37What's going on?
00:09:39Zack was killed.
00:09:41Shot down over Ukraine.
00:09:44Nobody could shoot my brother down.
00:09:46How'd it happen?
00:09:48Zack and his squad had successfully carried out a strike
00:09:51on a Russian's communication hub
00:09:53and were returning to base.
00:09:55Somewhere on the way, they were intercepted.
00:09:59The whole volunteer flight was wiped out.
00:10:02By what?
00:10:04We aren't sure.
00:10:06What do you mean you aren't sure?
00:10:08There were no enemy radar contacts in the area
00:10:11and Zack's squad had taken out the only Russian ground forces.
00:10:15Did they report coming under attack?
00:10:17Their communications were jammed just before they went down.
00:10:20Well, then the Russians did something else in the area.
00:10:22You must have some idea what.
00:10:24We're looking into it.
00:10:26I wish I had more information to give you,
00:10:29but I don't right now.
00:10:31I just wanted you to hear the news from me first.
00:10:35I'm sorry.
00:10:37If there's anything I can do...
00:10:39There is.
00:10:41Find out who and what killed him.
00:10:55Hey, Footloose.
00:10:57What's up? The guy said you got some official call.
00:11:00Zack's dead.
00:11:02I am so sorry.
00:11:05How?
00:11:08Killed in action.
00:11:10In action? Where?
00:11:13In Ukraine. He volunteered.
00:11:16Jesus.
00:11:18Is there anything that I can do?
00:11:20No.
00:11:22No, hey, wait.
00:11:24I want to help you.
00:11:48Yes?
00:12:13This is Kondor.
00:12:15What's your favorite opera?
00:12:17I much prefer ballet.
00:12:19You've been out of touch.
00:12:21Under scrutiny. I shouldn't be calling now,
00:12:23but I have news we need to meet.
00:12:25If you're under scrutiny, that doesn't seem like a good idea.
00:12:28You should leave whatever you have in a dead drop,
00:12:30and I'll retrieve it from you.
00:12:32I'm not leaving this evidence at a drop.
00:12:34It can be traced to me if found.
00:12:36I'll give it directly to you or nobody.
00:12:38All right.
00:12:39Feeley Park tomorrow.
00:12:41Not tomorrow. Today.
00:12:42This scanner waits 30 minutes from now.
00:12:45No, I'll pick the time.
00:12:47My chief of station won't sign off on the meeting if I...
00:12:49I do not care.
00:12:50This is not a piddling trigger. I have to offer.
00:12:53If this is so urgent, then tell me now.
00:12:56You know as well as I do,
00:12:58there is no such thing as a secure line in Moscow.
00:13:00This must be face-to-face, and time is of the essence.
00:13:04Don't be followed.
00:13:06Don't be late.
00:13:09All right.
00:13:27Been a while.
00:13:28It has been hard to get away.
00:13:30I was promoted.
00:13:32Congratulations.
00:13:33Yeah, I have great access now,
00:13:35but I'm under increased scrutiny.
00:13:38I must be more careful.
00:13:40Reach out only when it matters.
00:13:48A copy is being hatched inside Russian military intelligence.
00:13:51Elements within the G.I.U. intend
00:13:54to assassinate President Vasiliev.
00:13:56There's not much we can do to minimally interfere
00:13:58in your internal disagreements.
00:14:00You haven't heard it all yet.
00:14:02The plan is to assassinate Vasiliev on U.S. soil
00:14:04and implicate your government in his death.
00:14:07What's the purpose?
00:14:08To spark a wider war between NATO and Russia.
00:14:10It's the last thing the Russian military intelligence should want.
00:14:13Yeah, I understand that perfectly well,
00:14:15but the G.I.U. has become the personal victim of one
00:14:19Alexander Borovsk.
00:14:21The defense minister?
00:14:22An ideologue of the hardline nationalist type.
00:14:25He cursed Vasiliev into a Russian secret military rearmament program.
00:14:29He believes Russia can defeat the U.S. and NATO.
00:14:32He means to seize power and wield his new military.
00:14:36You ought to warn Vasiliev, not me.
00:14:38No, no, no. This is up to you.
00:14:41I cannot be perceived as Vasiliev's informant.
00:14:45Hey!
00:15:00This is Artemis calling for the chief of station.
00:15:02Metro Condor.
00:15:03A rogue element in the G.I.U. is trying to kill Vasiliev at the summit in Washington.
00:15:07Chief, do you copy?
00:15:09We need to let Washington know.
00:15:12Shit.
00:15:33Hey.
00:15:35Brought your favorite from the galley.
00:15:37It's a donut.
00:15:40Thanks.
00:15:45And if there's anything else that I can do, just...
00:15:48Just...
00:15:50stay here with me.
00:15:54Copy that.
00:16:02I'm gonna take this.
00:16:06Thanks.
00:16:13Well, you don't have to talk.
00:16:16But if you want to talk...
00:16:19I'm just...
00:16:21spinning.
00:16:24Scared that somehow I willed this to happen.
00:16:27Zack's death?
00:16:29I always lived in his shadow.
00:16:32I hoped someday I wouldn't, but...
00:16:36I never wanted it to happen like this.
00:16:38Adam Majors, you are not doing this to yourself.
00:16:42You love Zack. I could hear it every time you talked about him.
00:16:48Look, you're not feeling anything that most younger siblings haven't felt.
00:16:51And survivors, they always carry guilt.
00:16:57You need to give yourself a break.
00:17:00And know that you don't live underneath anybody's shadow.
00:17:06Everyone in this air group sees you.
00:17:08You've earned those wings. You've earned your place here.
00:17:12I mean, you even...
00:17:14even earned my respect.
00:17:18I have?
00:17:20Yeah, well, grudgingly.
00:17:23Grudgingly.
00:17:27And you are the most gifted pilot I have ever seen, so...
00:17:31Well, tell Cag that.
00:17:33Oh, he knows.
00:17:34Why you think he hates you so much?
00:17:48Wait, wait, wait.
00:17:51I...
00:17:53I'm sorry, I just...
00:17:55I can't do this right now.
00:17:57No, I get it.
00:18:00I'm gonna give you some space.
00:18:02No.
00:18:04Please.
00:18:07Just...
00:18:09be here with me.
00:18:13Please.
00:18:18Chat?
00:18:20Donut?
00:18:21Yes.
00:18:23Nearly 15 years ago, former Russian President Morozov rose to power
00:18:27after a violent election that saw dozens of Russians killed.
00:18:30But the skirmishes did not end after the election,
00:18:32marking an age of heightened military defense in Russia
00:18:35and the surrounding countries not seen since World War II.
00:18:38Many intensive talks from NATO and the United States
00:18:40were made to President Morozov,
00:18:42who refused to acknowledge them,
00:18:44especially those coming from capitalist nations.
00:18:47President Morozov instead wanted to expand his power.
00:18:50He first looked to Ukraine,
00:18:52where border disputes between the two countries
00:18:54escalated into a brutal war,
00:18:56resulting in thousands of deaths on both sides.
00:18:59The United States and NATO realized
00:19:01they could no longer stay off the sidelines
00:19:03and offered help to those who wanted a better future for their country.
00:19:06As Russians, tired of the old regime, rose up,
00:19:09the United States offered weapons and resources,
00:19:11including state-of-the-art tanks,
00:19:13to battle against those already in the current Russian regime's possession.
00:19:16Soon, President Morozov and his regime
00:19:19found themselves not only fighting Ukrainian rebels,
00:19:21but Russian ones, led by Russian freedom fighter Gennady Vassilov.
00:19:25After months of fighting, the war turned mostly away from Ukraine
00:19:28and became a Russian civil war between the old regime
00:19:31and those who demanded peace for the war-torn country.
00:19:33But the fighting in Russia turned extremely violent,
00:19:36with sometimes whole city blocks and small towns
00:19:39decimated by Morozov's regime.
00:19:41Vassilov and his rebels would not give in to Morozov,
00:19:44often meeting the regime in the streets and countryside to battle,
00:19:47refusing to give up.
00:19:49But Morozov only escalated the attacks,
00:19:51destroying countless populated areas
00:19:53in an effort to show his immense power.
00:19:55Vassilov continued to fight back
00:19:57as more and more Russians joined the rebels
00:19:59against the attacks that left their homes and families decimated,
00:20:02wanting a better future for their children
00:20:04and generations of Russians to come.
00:20:06With continued help from the United States,
00:20:08the old regime was finally toppled,
00:20:10with many of their tanks and other weapons destroyed,
00:20:13and a new era of history for the story country began,
00:20:16one etched in true democracy for Russia,
00:20:18as elections, naming their new leader, President Vassilov,
00:20:21were the most successful in Russia's history.
00:20:24Although some cells of the old regime are still in hiding,
00:20:26newly elected President Vassilov has assured NATO
00:20:29that he has made it his top priority to eradicate them,
00:20:32to keep this new Russia era of democracy alive.
00:20:35Today, President Stewart welcomes President Vassilov to the White House,
00:20:39where a peace accord will be signed by the two leaders,
00:20:41signaling a new era of peace, friendship,
00:20:44and understanding between our two nations.
00:20:48I implore you, Mr. President, before it's too late.
00:20:53It is too late.
00:20:55Nothing has been discussed or signed.
00:20:57Russia can retake Ukraine.
00:21:00We passed the greatest stealth fighter ever built.
00:21:03You can recapture the strategic initiative.
00:21:06We cannot fight a conventional war with NATO.
00:21:08Sooner or later, we or they start to lose.
00:21:11And when that happens, nuclear weapons get employed.
00:21:15It doesn't matter who wins, if we all die.
00:21:18We could roll our tanks over Europe,
00:21:21cross the Atlantic and kick in their front door.
00:21:23The West would never initiate nuclear strike.
00:21:26They lack the will.
00:21:27I cannot bet the sovereignty of Russia on such a whim.
00:21:33This peace is the one thing we have left for our nation.
00:21:38So stand behind it.
00:21:40Any sign of this unity will not serve.
00:21:46Yes, Mr. President.
00:22:03I lost her.
00:22:06Check over there.
00:22:26President Vassilyev, welcome.
00:22:28We'll get the opening press conference.
00:22:30President Vassilyev, welcome.
00:22:32We'll get the opening press conference ready shortly in the press room.
00:22:34Welcome, gentlemen.
00:22:36Thank you for this gracious invitation to your capital.
00:22:38It is your openness to diplomacy that has made this day possible.
00:22:41I wish our security service to sweep this press room.
00:22:45It won't be open to the public, just credential press.
00:22:49Mr. Borovsky, we're guests in another home.
00:22:52Don't do this.
00:22:53I'm only concerned for your safety, Mr. President,
00:22:56because you are a hope and future of the Russian Federation.
00:22:59He has a point, Mr. President.
00:23:01Agent Miller, anyone interested in inspecting the press room,
00:23:04let them to their complete satisfaction.
00:23:06Right this way.
00:23:08Anthony.
00:23:09Mr. President, please.
00:23:18Knock yourself out.
00:23:30Press room?
00:23:32Right this way.
00:23:59Oh, good.
00:24:29Oh, good.
00:24:59Oh, good.
00:25:29Oh, good.
00:25:46This is crazy.
00:25:50Oh, jeez.
00:25:53Oh, jeez.
00:25:57This is making sense.
00:26:22Oh, jeez.
00:26:52Pick up, pick up, pick up, pick up.
00:26:54Many thanks to my new friend, President Jeremiah Stewart.
00:26:58Your kind welcome is appreciated,
00:27:00and it bodes well for a more productive relationship
00:27:03between our two nations.
00:27:12Hello, can you hear me?
00:27:14Yes, I can hear you.
00:27:16I'm listening.
00:27:18Hello, can you hear me?
00:27:20Ronnie, not a good time.
00:27:22No time.
00:27:23The GRU is going to assassinate President Vassiliev at the summit.
00:27:26They've recruited a Ukrainian national named Igor Menelik.
00:27:30Grabbed his wife on a recent trip to Eastern Europe,
00:27:32told his leverage.
00:27:34Look, they're going to make the attempt on Vassiliev's life
00:27:36at a press event.
00:27:38Why a press event?
00:27:40Menelik is a Washington correspondent for the Kiev Post.
00:27:45Agent Miller, we need to stop this!
00:27:47To the president, now!
00:27:49Go, go!
00:27:51Are you okay?
00:27:53Yeah, I'm all right, I'm all right.
00:27:55Who called him?
00:28:03Rick, are you all right?
00:28:05I am, sir.
00:28:07Is our Vassiliev all right?
00:28:09Alive and unhurt.
00:28:11Thank God.
00:28:13Now, how did anybody get past White House security?
00:28:16With valid press credentials, sir.
00:28:18He was a Ukrainian journalist
00:28:20forced into it under threat by Russian military intelligence.
00:28:24What are you getting at?
00:28:26A contact I have in the CIA
00:28:28called at the last minute with intel.
00:28:30You have personal operatives in the CIA?
00:28:32No, it's not like that, sir.
00:28:34An old friend reached out.
00:28:36Mr. President, complex is secure.
00:28:39What's the condition of the assassin?
00:28:41Is he able to answer any questions yet?
00:28:43I don't know.
00:28:45The assassin died of gun wounds, Mr. President.
00:28:48Sir, you have my sincerest apologies.
00:28:50If you'd like, my resignation will be in your desk.
00:28:53Knock it off, Mike.
00:28:55I'm not allowed to replace you today.
00:28:57Your friend in the CIA
00:28:59claims Russian intelligence is behind this.
00:29:01That's right.
00:29:03We need to talk to Vassiliev right away.
00:29:05Get to the bottom of this right now.
00:29:07Vassiliev is gone.
00:29:09The Russian diplomatic entourage, they left.
00:29:11They left?
00:29:13What's the assistance of Minister Vorovsk?
00:29:17Son of a bitch.
00:29:25Zello, fly directly to Moscow
00:29:27and let him know that we're safe and we're unharmed.
00:29:30Yes, and get me the FSB director, Chernigov, online.
00:29:34What do you require of Director Chernigov?
00:29:38An investigation.
00:29:40An attempt on my life, of course.
00:29:44Whatever proximate have been employed in the United States
00:29:47is most certainly to blame.
00:29:50President Stewart,
00:29:52he staked his political reputation on the summit.
00:29:56The culprit, I'm sorry to say,
00:29:59must be somewhere closer to home.
00:30:02A lot closer.
00:30:04And therefore we have to look.
00:30:08Hello.
00:30:10Yes.
00:30:14I'm listening.
00:30:19What the hell?
00:30:22What the hell?
00:30:36I regret to inform you that President Vassiliev is dead.
00:30:39He succumbed to a bullet inflicted earlier today
00:30:43by a U.S.-sponsored assassin.
00:30:45I, Alexander Borovsky,
00:30:48am assuming the presidency.
00:30:52Ah.
00:30:55The vacancy has opened up in my old office.
00:30:58Would you like to serve us as my minister of defense?
00:31:01Okay, let me know when you can.
00:31:03We can't reach Vassiliev.
00:31:05The Russian presidential line is open,
00:31:07but they're giving us a runaround.
00:31:09Mr. President.
00:31:11What is it?
00:31:13You got to see this.
00:31:15While Russia struggles is against all Western oppression,
00:31:19the greatest threat to our safety
00:31:21remains the United States.
00:31:23It is to America
00:31:25that I, the president of the Russian Federation,
00:31:29address myself.
00:31:31Borovsky is president?
00:31:34You said Vilyashev was fine.
00:31:36He was the last time I saw and talked to him.
00:31:38Vassiliev walked off under his own power.
00:31:41He was shaken, but he was fine.
00:31:43And now your murder of our president
00:31:46while on a diplomatic visit.
00:31:49Excuse me.
00:31:53For your armed interference in our historic revolution,
00:31:57your slander and sabotage of the Soviet endeavor,
00:32:03I vow that you, America, will pay.
00:32:08Vassiliev is dead,
00:32:10and I think we're listening to the guy who did it.
00:32:17Does this mean what I think it means?
00:32:21Looks like it.
00:32:27That sounded like a declaration of war.
00:32:29We need to get in touch with Borovsky right now.
00:32:32I don't think he'll prove a viable partner for negotiation, sir.
00:32:35No, we need to get in touch with somebody who will.
00:32:38Get me the State Department on the phone.
00:32:41Mr. President,
00:32:44I've been instructed to escort you to a safe location
00:32:47away from the vice president.
00:32:49Agent Miller, I will not be escorted anywhere.
00:32:52Mr. President, protocol dictates that...
00:32:54Protocol dictates that as president,
00:32:56I represent our nation in talks with foreign countries
00:32:58and act as commander-in-chief during a war.
00:33:01This is a war.
00:33:03I need my people near me at all times.
00:33:05Thomas is a decorated veteran and will be at my side
00:33:07until I say otherwise. Do you understand?
00:33:09Yes, sir.
00:33:11Talk people who deal with Russia,
00:33:13anybody with any connections to their military
00:33:15or their political life.
00:33:17Let's find someone in the Russian government to talk to
00:33:19to keep the situation from spinning out of control any further.
00:33:21Are you with me, guys?
00:33:23Excuse me. I have to take this.
00:33:32Are you all right?
00:33:34Yeah, I'm okay. How about yourself?
00:33:36What's your situation?
00:33:38Going to ground with the GRU agents in pursuit.
00:33:41They've got the U.S. embassy too heavily striked
00:33:43for me to get near it,
00:33:45and they're jamming all communications in and out.
00:33:48That's why I had to break chain of command like this.
00:33:51Your number was the only highly-ranked contact I had.
00:33:54I'm glad you did. We got a job for you.
00:33:57We?
00:33:59POTUS and I reach out to every Russian government higher-up
00:34:01you have a connection to.
00:34:03About what?
00:34:05We need allies with influence, anyone in the power structure
00:34:07who won't welcome Barras' regime.
00:34:09We need to talk, get this situation under control
00:34:11before it blows up in the World War III.
00:34:14Well, I might have a way to get the attorney called.
00:34:17Director of domestic security?
00:34:19Yeah.
00:34:21That's a start. The FSB has his fingers in everything.
00:34:24All right.
00:34:26Let me get to work. I'll be in touch.
00:34:31Yes.
00:34:33Send him in.
00:34:37Mr. President, Mr. Vice President.
00:34:39August. Secretary Strickland.
00:34:42An Air Force scout plane was spotted
00:34:44a Russian carrier in the North Atlantic, the Yushakov.
00:34:47It's moving westbound at high speed.
00:34:49Shortly after making the report,
00:34:51the scout plane went radio silent, and we lost radar.
00:34:54All indications suggest that the plane has been downed.
00:34:58Okay. What do you recommend?
00:35:00That we intercept the Yushakov.
00:35:02Send the JFK.
00:35:04She's in the North Atlantic already.
00:35:06Her air wing and pilots are cream of the crop.
00:35:08If the Russians decide to start something,
00:35:10they'll meet with our best.
00:35:12All right. Let's send the JFK.
00:35:14I'll dispatch orders.
00:35:16Mr. President, would you like me to set up
00:35:18the communications equipment in the Oval?
00:35:20Oh, no, thank you. I prefer to work here in the study.
00:35:22Too much of a museum in there. Can't think.
00:35:24Understood.
00:35:26And, sir, I recommend raising our defense condition
00:35:28to DEFCON 3.
00:35:36Hey.
00:35:38Hey.
00:35:40What you up to?
00:35:42Upgrading the course calculations program.
00:35:44I made some custom modifications I want to have with me
00:35:46if we get into it up there.
00:35:48You think we're getting into it?
00:35:50I think, whatever happens,
00:35:52we're going to need all the help we can get.
00:35:56Something up?
00:35:58I don't know.
00:36:00I don't know.
00:36:02I don't know.
00:36:04Something up?
00:36:08I just wanted to say...
00:36:10I'm sorry.
00:36:12About what?
00:36:14About the other day.
00:36:16When we almost...
00:36:18Oh.
00:36:20I didn't mean to in any way
00:36:22reject or denigrate
00:36:24the idea that we...
00:36:26Hey, you were right.
00:36:28Of course, I don't...
00:36:30You're the best wingman
00:36:32I've ever had.
00:36:34I mean, yeah.
00:36:36You, too.
00:36:38And you're my best friend.
00:36:40I mean,
00:36:42I am?
00:36:44Yeah.
00:36:46Because
00:36:48you are.
00:36:50Mine, too.
00:36:52I worry about a wrench being thrown into those
00:36:54very delicate works.
00:36:56A wrench in the works
00:36:58if us is us.
00:37:00It's hard enough
00:37:02to make decisions up there.
00:37:04And if we were to...
00:37:06You know?
00:37:08I'd feel like
00:37:10I need to protect you.
00:37:12I don't need protecting.
00:37:14I have my wings, too.
00:37:16So, see?
00:37:18You don't even have to worry about that.
00:37:20Firefly, footloose.
00:37:22Aviator briefing in 1,900 hours.
00:37:26Want to protect me?
00:37:28Want to protect me?
00:37:30Let me finish upgrading the system
00:37:32before the briefing.
00:37:34Can't be you.
00:37:36See you in there.
00:37:44Hello, Yuri, this is Artemis.
00:37:46Listen, it doesn't matter.
00:37:48I need something.
00:37:50Hello?
00:37:52Yuri?
00:37:54Shit.
00:37:56Hello, Lieutenant
00:37:58Colonel Yuri Balikin's voicemail.
00:38:00This is Artemis. If you don't want to talk to me,
00:38:02I'll keep leaving an incriminating voicemail
00:38:04on your state-issued phone
00:38:06about how you've been selling secrets to the CIA.
00:38:08And if you want to avoid
00:38:10dozens more of these messages,
00:38:12call me back.
00:38:18Yes.
00:38:20Yes, I understand.
00:38:22Look, we need to meet.
00:38:24No, no, I'm not after intel.
00:38:26I have it to share.
00:38:28Look, hot stuff.
00:38:30Your superiors will be grateful.
00:38:32Chernikov himself will be interested.
00:38:36Gorgi Park. Near the sculpture garden.
00:38:38Today at 11 a.m.
00:38:40Then make the time.
00:38:42It's... I don't care.
00:38:4411 a.m.
00:38:46Be there. Don't be followed.
00:38:48Lieutenant.
00:38:54As I'm sure you're all aware,
00:38:56we're no longer on a test or a training mission.
00:38:58A Russian aircraft carrier
00:39:00is on course for the eastern seaboard of the United States.
00:39:02We've been ordered to intercept.
00:39:04Do we know what kind of airpower they're packing?
00:39:06We don't.
00:39:08The Ushakov was only recently put into service,
00:39:10apparently amid a great deal of secrecy.
00:39:12Now, the most common Russian carrier aircraft
00:39:14is the Su-33,
00:39:16a plane over which we have a definite advantage.
00:39:18But we need to be alert 15 for the duration.
00:39:20That means you're in your gear and ready at all times.
00:39:22If that alarm goes,
00:39:24I need you inside the air in 15 minutes.
00:39:26Is that understood?
00:39:28Yes, sir.
00:39:30Good. We'll keep a full squadron of F-A-18s fueled and ready.
00:39:32I need you fueled and ready to fly them.
00:39:34Understood?
00:39:36What about the F-A-Xs?
00:39:38You have a question, Footloose?
00:39:40We've got half a dozen of the best fighter jets ever built
00:39:42just sitting down in the hangar.
00:39:44If we have to go up against the Russians,
00:39:46shouldn't we bring our best?
00:39:48The F-A-X is a wondrous aircraft, Lieutenant,
00:39:50but it's classified as experimental.
00:39:52It's not permitted in front-line operations.
00:39:54What about in a support role, sir?
00:39:56Support role?
00:39:58For example, a combat air patrol.
00:40:00That's a support role,
00:40:02whereby you can easily keep a few F-A-Xs ready
00:40:04and in the air at all times.
00:40:06You know, I seem to recall
00:40:08that a certain pilot rated for the F-A-X
00:40:10is up on combat air patrol
00:40:12following this briefing.
00:40:14I believe that's correct, sir.
00:40:16Maybe that pilot ought to take up an F-A-X,
00:40:18just to keep it in practice.
00:40:20Work the cobwebs out?
00:40:22That's a good idea, sir.
00:40:24Sir?
00:40:26Yes, Firefly?
00:40:28I'd like to volunteer to fly on that cap.
00:40:30That all right with you, Footloose?
00:40:32Wouldn't mind the company.
00:40:42Let's go.
00:40:58You need to find out the status of the carrier Ushakov.
00:41:12Proceeding on course.
00:41:14Distance to Washington, D.C.?
00:41:181,700 kilometers.
00:41:20Within striking range of our planes.
00:41:22Get them in the air.
00:41:26We must hit the Americans now,
00:41:28in the next few hours,
00:41:30before their shock wears off
00:41:32and NATO roses itself.
00:41:36We'll attack the U.S. capital
00:41:38with our air fleet
00:41:40the head of Yankee Snake
00:41:42for all the world to see.
00:41:44There is U.S. vessel on course to intercept Ushakov.
00:41:46An aircraft carrier.
00:41:48The John F. Kennedy.
00:41:50Time to intercept?
00:41:54Two hours, give or take.
00:41:56More than enough time
00:41:58to get our planes aloft.
00:42:00We can't just leave U.S. carrier there
00:42:02poised to attack our own at any time.
00:42:06Give order to our air wing
00:42:08to launch at once,
00:42:10destroy the American carrier,
00:42:12and then proceed at maximum speed
00:42:14to Washington, D.C.
00:42:16Duh.
00:42:20Cap on station.
00:42:26You see something out there?
00:42:28Not sure what that is.
00:42:32Captain Eagle's perch.
00:42:34Bogeys incoming from the east
00:42:36at Angel's 10.
00:42:38Eagle's perch. Bogeys are definitely aircraft.
00:42:44Go, go, go, go, go, go!
00:42:46Go, go, go, go!
00:42:48Let's get those planes in the air!
00:42:50If you're ready for the FAA, I'm throwing you up in one.
00:42:52If we're under attack, I'm personally authorizing their use.
00:42:56Captain to the cap.
00:42:58Cap, closing to intercept bogeys.
00:43:02Bandits, bandits!
00:43:04We have to be russian.
00:43:12I lost him.
00:43:14Bandits are impossible to target.
00:43:26We're getting our asses handed to us.
00:43:28Stay in the fight.
00:43:34I think I'm getting an idea of what it was that took down Zack.
00:43:42Bandits are making a run for the JFK.
00:43:54Eagle's perch, do you copy?
00:43:56Eagle's perch, do you copy?
00:44:04Understood.
00:44:06The JFK is under attack.
00:44:08It's an aerial assault on about a dozen planes.
00:44:10Russian?
00:44:12Without a doubt.
00:44:14They're most likely 6th generation, which means they're not giving off any radar signature.
00:44:16They're invisible.
00:44:18What's the status of the JFK?
00:44:20It's hard to determine while they're still under attack.
00:44:24The United States hasn't been under attack like this in 80 years.
00:44:28This is war.
00:44:30Sir, I recommend raising our defense condition to DEFCON 2.
00:44:34Can Congress take a vote?
00:44:36I'd like a formal declaration.
00:44:38They ought to be able to agree on that.
00:44:40If we're going to send the United States to war,
00:44:42I want it done correctly, in accordance with the Constitution.
00:44:44Mr. President, under the circumstances,
00:44:46I strongly recommend we move the Vice President to a different location.
00:44:50I concur.
00:44:52No.
00:45:00The American carrier's flight deck has been destroyed.
00:45:02Superb.
00:45:04Withdraw.
00:45:06I would not advise that yet.
00:45:08Some American planes are still in the air and could pose a threat.
00:45:10Withdraw. Withdraw.
00:45:12If the carrier is neutralized,
00:45:14let's not more risk to lose our force.
00:45:16Order our plane to disengage from their attack.
00:45:20Have them proceed at top speed
00:45:22toward their primary target,
00:45:24the capital of the United States,
00:45:28Washington, D.C.
00:45:30Yes, sir.
00:45:36My bandit broke off and is bugging out.
00:45:38Due west.
00:45:40Mine, too.
00:45:42We need to follow them.
00:45:44Our orders are to defend the boat.
00:45:46The boat's a burning wreck.
00:45:48The Russians have no radar signature.
00:45:50They're ghosts.
00:45:52We lose visual, they're gone.
00:45:54Somebody needs to keep eyes on them,
00:45:56and that somebody is us.
00:45:58Right now, Lieutenant.
00:46:00Might as well come.
00:46:02There's no place to land out there anymore.
00:46:04Don't want to ditch in the middle of the ocean.
00:46:06God damn it.
00:46:08Bandit's just out of range.
00:46:10Moving at plus Mach 2 and accelerating.
00:46:12Gonna have to burn. Best speed.
00:46:16Passing Mach 1.
00:46:22Having flight control issues.
00:46:24Passing Mach 2.
00:46:26Temperature's 3,000 degrees and climbing.
00:46:28Then we keep pushing.
00:46:304,000 degrees.
00:46:56Let's go.
00:47:22We're tracking three F-8Xs off the JFK.
00:47:24the JFK moving westbound at Mach 3.
00:47:27Mach 3?
00:47:28Yep.
00:47:29They're headed directly towards Washington, DC.
00:47:33If they were headed for land, they'd head for Newfoundland.
00:47:35But if they're making Mach 3, then something's going on.
00:47:40Like what?
00:47:43They're in pursuit of the Russian jets.
00:47:45Well, I've got negative radar contact.
00:47:48No, no, no.
00:47:49The Russians have achieved invisibility.
00:47:50We can't depend on radar contact anymore.
00:47:53A Russian air attack on Washington may be imminent.
00:47:56Order an immediate evacuation of the city.
00:47:58Let's get as many people as we can out of harm's way.
00:48:01Sir, all due respect, but we should be focusing on defense,
00:48:04not evacuation.
00:48:05I refuse to be the cause of unnecessary American deaths.
00:48:07Evacuate the city.
00:48:09Sir, I must.
00:48:10No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:48:12Evacuate the civilian population.
00:48:14Get the Metro police and fire on it.
00:48:16But we need to put up air defense now.
00:48:18Scramble every fighter out of Boling and Andrews.
00:48:21All right, let's do that.
00:48:27We have to make contact with the Navy or any military.
00:48:31I've got important information that we need to pass on.
00:48:34What do you got?
00:48:35I've run every kind of scan on the Russian planes
00:48:37that the FAX sensor array is capable of.
00:48:40I know how they're communicating,
00:48:41sending, and receiving data.
00:48:43Your point?
00:48:44Their system is satellite-based, and therefore,
00:48:47super vulnerable.
00:48:48I need a couple more minutes of computing time,
00:48:50but I almost have their comm satellites
00:48:52coordinates triangulated.
00:48:54Once I have that, we can take a shot at it.
00:48:57We need to pass this on.
00:48:59JFK air group calling any friendlies.
00:49:01Copy?
00:49:03Mr. President.
00:49:04Yes?
00:49:05Our air group is being pursued.
00:49:07By who and flying what?
00:49:08Three American aircraft.
00:49:10They're able to keep up?
00:49:11They are.
00:49:12They are maintaining a stabilized Mach 3.2.
00:49:15OK.
00:49:18Order one of our planes to fall back and intercept.
00:49:22Should we not have the entire air group intercept?
00:49:25The risk to a single plane would be.
00:49:28There is no risk.
00:49:29Our 257 is objectively superior.
00:49:33One plane is more than much for three Americans.
00:49:36Keep the rest of our air group on course and on mission.
00:49:41Yes, sir.
00:49:48Bandit falling back from 12 o'clock.
00:49:49Everybody get set.
00:49:51Just need another minute on these calculations.
00:49:54Oh, man.
00:49:54He's getting right behind us.
00:50:00Almost there.
00:50:04Pull up, Keg.
00:50:04Pull up.
00:50:06I can't shake him.
00:50:08Got it.
00:50:09I have the satellite coordinates.
00:50:11Bandit right behind me.
00:50:13Gotcha.
00:50:18All right.
00:50:19Firefly, you good?
00:50:21I am.
00:50:22Thanks.
00:50:28Mr. President, are the American planes destroyed?
00:50:32One American plane was destroyed.
00:50:35Long visor taking plane.
00:50:37This is exactly what I wish to await.
00:50:39The entire air group should intercept the remaining two
00:50:42American planes to ensure.
00:50:44No.
00:50:44I will not have our force further diminish it
00:50:47before they even reach their target.
00:50:49Let Americans nip at our heels if they like.
00:50:53We and our pilots have a grander destiny to fulfill.
00:51:00Alexander Shonigov, director of the FSB
00:51:03Domestic Security Service.
00:51:07And you are Veronica Alicia Vox, CIA case officer operating
00:51:14under codename Martinez.
00:51:20I have intelligence to share.
00:51:22Our countries are at war.
00:51:24Why would I believe anything you say?
00:51:26I have proof of a plot against the Russian state.
00:51:39A plot by whom?
00:51:41Alexander Borovsk.
00:51:45Alexander Borovsk is the president, my commander.
00:51:56According to my sources, he was and still is
00:51:59your hated arch rival.
00:52:02Vasilyev's assassination was a coup engineered by Borovsk.
00:52:08I can show you the proof.
00:52:10Do you know the sentence in Russia for possessing
00:52:13stolen classified material?
00:52:19I'm an employee of the US State Department.
00:52:22I have diplomatic immunity.
00:52:24Nobody knows you're here.
00:52:26You have no rights.
00:52:29Borovsk murdered your president, took you to war.
00:52:33He who has taken power, he holds all the cards.
00:52:37Borovsk wields the might of Russian states.
00:52:41You wield the FSB.
00:52:44At Borovsk's pleasure.
00:52:46You have the power and the resources to bring him down.
00:52:48To stand against him in wartime would be suicide.
00:52:51Borovsk means to have you killed.
00:52:56Why'd you say that?
00:52:58Take a look at your pocket.
00:53:01Just look at it.
00:53:04Do you really think Borovsk's plot stops at Vasilyev?
00:53:08He wants to secure absolute power.
00:53:11He won't let the state security apparatus be controlled
00:53:14by his hated arch rival.
00:53:20He may not be his last victim, but you're certainly his next.
00:53:27If that's all true, there is nothing you can do for me.
00:53:33The US will support whoever removes Borovsk.
00:53:38Support how?
00:53:40With weapons and money, advisors,
00:53:44diplomatic concessions.
00:53:46You have no authority to offer such things.
00:53:49I can.
00:53:51I do.
00:53:52I have the ear of the American vice president.
00:53:55I answer directly to him.
00:53:58To Richard Thomas?
00:53:59Yes, that's right.
00:54:01What if a coup such proposed should fail?
00:54:04What assurances would be granted?
00:54:06What assurances are required?
00:54:11Self-extraction and asylum, or a coup against Borovsk
00:54:16to launch and not prevail.
00:54:19That can be arranged.
00:54:22I give you my word.
00:54:28If I have so much in England you bluffing me,
00:54:33your bones shall be entered the Russian soil.
00:54:41So do we have a deal.
00:54:57Executive two calling Footloose.
00:55:01Executive two, former callsign Defender?
00:55:04Yes, is this Footloose?
00:55:05It is.
00:55:06Good to hear your voice.
00:55:07What's your situation?
00:55:09Pursuing a dozen unfriendlies at plus Mach 3,
00:55:12on direct heading to Washington DC.
00:55:14Can you describe the unfriendlies?
00:55:16These are sixth generation at least.
00:55:18They're fast, radar invisible, and they move like nothing
00:55:21I've ever seen born on wings.
00:55:23I think we found out exactly what took down Zack.
00:55:25I have information that might help.
00:55:29Who is that?
00:55:30Callsign Firefly, sir.
00:55:32Who are you?
00:55:33Executive one, airman.
00:55:36Oh, it's an honor, sir.
00:55:38Please continue.
00:55:40The Russians are employing free space optical communications.
00:55:43What is that?
00:55:45Every Russian plane receives sensor data
00:55:47from every other Russian plane, probably
00:55:49navigational data as well.
00:55:51All beamed through laser bursts from a satellite link.
00:55:54Our engineers consider something similar for the FAX program,
00:55:57but they decided against it because it
00:55:58had a glaring vulnerability.
00:56:00All data runs to a satellite.
00:56:01And satellites can be taken out.
00:56:04I've triangulated the Russian comm satellites
00:56:06coordinates from its laser bursts
00:56:07to and from the Russian planes.
00:56:10I'm transmitting those coordinates to you now.
00:56:13Destroy that satellite, you'll take out their comms.
00:56:16Probably their sensors and targeting as well.
00:56:19I mean, we'll take them out, but it'll shake them off.
00:56:22We're standing by to receive those coordinates.
00:56:24How's your fuel foot loose?
00:56:26Closer to bingo than I'd like, sir.
00:56:28We've got about 30 minutes left in the air,
00:56:30less if we need to fight, which is pretty
00:56:32much guaranteed at this point.
00:56:34Well, we're putting up an air defense,
00:56:35so you'll have some backup when you get here.
00:56:37Grateful for the help.
00:56:39We've received the satellite coordinates, sir.
00:56:41Missile strikes on those coordinates now.
00:56:44Lost control.
00:56:45Arrow on vector 7, 3, 8, 0, land.
00:56:58The Russians blew right through our air defense.
00:57:11We have to stop them now.
00:57:13What's the status of the missile
00:57:14we launched at the satellite?
00:57:1623 seconds to impact.
00:57:17Did we get it?
00:57:28Negative.
00:57:30Target remains.
00:57:32Mr. President, I must insist that we get you underground.
00:57:37I'm inclined to agree.
00:57:38I am as well.
00:57:39All right.
00:57:40Defender and Zeus are en route.
00:57:42I cut a deal with Chernykov.
00:58:06We have his full cooperation.
00:58:09I'm going in with an FSB assault team to get Barovsk.
00:58:14When are you moving out?
00:58:17Right now.
00:58:39Stop.
00:58:40Mr. President!
00:58:44Mr. President!
00:58:47Sir, are you okay, sir?
00:58:54He's alive, but he's unresponsive.
00:58:58Jeremiah's steward is incapacitated.
00:59:00Let's get him up.
00:59:01Careful, careful.
00:59:02Keep going.
00:59:03I can't touch the engine, sir.
00:59:07We're going to have to get you sworn in as president.
00:59:11I'll bear witness.
00:59:12Minister Volkov.
00:59:13Sir.
00:59:14Show me how that works.
00:59:15It's a nuclear briefcase.
00:59:16Yes.
00:59:17Bring it, open it up, and turn it on.
00:59:18Of course, Mr. President.
00:59:19Raise your right hand.
00:59:46I, Richard Philip Thomas, do solemnly swear.
00:59:49I, Richard Philip Thomas, do solemnly swear.
00:59:52To faithfully execute the office of the President of the United States.
00:59:55To faithfully execute the office of the President of the United States.
01:00:00And will, to the best of my ability.
01:00:02And I will, to the best of my ability.
01:00:05Protect, preserve, and defend the Constitution of the United States.
01:00:10Protect, preserve, and defend the Constitution of the United States.
01:00:15So help me God.
01:00:19So help me God.
01:00:20Mr. President.
01:00:40To arm launch control, the Minister of Defense and the President must both enter their personal codes.
01:01:01Please, enter yours.
01:01:03Mr. President, is this really necessary?
01:01:06I want to know that our national defenses are in readiness.
01:01:10It's just, it would be dangerous.
01:01:12We're at war.
01:01:14Danger is everywhere.
01:01:25Now.
01:01:27The Minister of Defense and the President must both scan their left hands.
01:01:37Please, Minister Volkov, place your hands on scanner.
01:01:44I will not.
01:01:47I must firmly insist.
01:01:50And I steadfastly decline.
01:02:07Arm it and ready.
01:02:17I've got ten minutes worth of fuel. Firefly, how about you?
01:02:20Running on fumes.
01:02:29Firefly, what are you doing?
01:02:30Going after the satellites.
01:02:32That's a terrible idea.
01:02:33Most satellite missile defense is based on long-range attack.
01:02:36If I can get in close, I can get a shot through.
01:02:39These planes aren't designed to go into space.
01:02:41Sure they are.
01:02:42Just aren't designed to come back.
01:02:47Mr. President, the Russians have launched a nuclear attack.
01:02:51Two thousand ballistic missiles are currently inbound at supersonic speeds towards every major city.
01:02:57This is confirmed.
01:02:59Satellites detected the launch plumes.
01:03:01NORAD picked up the telemetry the moment the missiles went up.
01:03:04It's confirmed.
01:03:06How long?
01:03:07Twenty-two minutes before the first missile detonates in county.
01:03:11Is there something we can do to stop it?
01:03:13Sir, we have no missile defense in place that can take them all out.
01:03:16Maybe we get a few here and there, but it's two thousand.
01:03:20Can the Russians call it back?
01:03:22Sir, intel says that the Russians may have implemented an experimental policy
01:03:27to where all of their warheads contain a self-destruct as insurance against poor command and control.
01:03:32But I doubt Boros watched his back.
01:03:35So we need to act.
01:03:37Per the predetermined response to this scenario under the Single Integrated Operational Plan,
01:03:41I'm issuing orders for a major attack option A.
01:03:44Full retaliatory strike against every military base and urban center in the Russian Federation.
01:03:51Mr. President, we're at DEFCON 1.
01:03:54We're at DEFCON 1.
01:04:06Boros has launched a nuclear strike.
01:04:10I'm being told it can be recalled from there.
01:04:12A fairly newly implemented Russian policy where missiles will self-destruct if a code is sent.
01:04:17You've got to get to the launch controls.
01:04:20Enter others.
01:04:36Mr. President, enter your goal codes.
01:04:38Sir.
01:04:41Not yet.
01:04:42Sir, SIOP dictates we have to respond.
01:04:45You need to enter your codes.
01:04:46I will not enter my codes.
01:04:48I will not enter my goddamn codes.
01:04:50Not now and not ever if we can figure something out.
01:04:53Launching our nukes will not stop Borosks.
01:04:56Sir, enter your goal code.
01:05:08If anybody can hear me, I've got target lock on the satellite.
01:05:11I'm taking the shot.
01:05:18Damn it!
01:05:49Wait.
01:05:51Drop it.
01:05:54Tell me the codes.
01:05:56No.
01:05:57Tell me now.
01:05:59No.
01:06:00Tell me or I'll kill you right now.
01:06:02I don't care because my name shall be burned immortal into the fabric of eternity.
01:06:06How about yours?
01:06:09Sir, you need to enter your code.
01:06:10I will not be responsible for billions of deaths.
01:06:14Sir, you swore an oath.
01:06:18Sir, think about your family.
01:06:21This could save them.
01:06:22Enter your code.
01:06:43Okay, launch.
01:06:49Okay.
01:06:55Sir, to launch, we enter our keys, turn them to the right simultaneously.
01:07:07Shit.
01:07:14Hello?
01:07:15It's Vax.
01:07:16Is the mission a success?
01:07:18Borosks launched a nuclear strike on the United States.
01:07:20I need you to give me the abort codes.
01:07:22I can't just give you Russian nuclear codes.
01:07:24You have to now.
01:07:26You are CIA.
01:07:27I'm not going to.
01:07:28Look, everyone dies if you don't stop this now.
01:07:30Give me the goddamn codes right now.
01:07:34Do you hear me?
01:07:37All right, now I'll read you the code.
01:07:38Hold on.
01:07:49Are you ready?
01:07:50Yes, go.
01:07:53Enter five.
01:07:55Five.
01:07:57Seven.
01:07:59Six.
01:08:00Five, five, seven, six, what?
01:08:02Hello?
01:08:04Hello?
01:08:10It's time to launch while we're still able.
01:08:12This is madness.
01:08:14It's our responsibility.
01:08:16It's our only course of action.
01:08:18Would you see America's throat cut?
01:08:20And her murderer walk away?
01:08:22This isn't justice.
01:08:23It's just vengeful genocide.
01:08:25Full retaliation has been established military policy for decades, Mr. President.
01:08:31It's in the oath of office.
01:08:32You just swore.
01:08:33All right.
01:08:35All right, enough.
01:08:46Vax?
01:08:47Yes, five, five, seven, six, what?
01:08:53Five, five, seven, six, four.
01:08:57Five, five, seven, six, four.
01:09:00Now.
01:09:02Five, seven, four, two, seven.
01:09:06Code's entered.
01:09:07Hit execute.
01:09:18Agent Miller.
01:09:20Mr. President, wait, don't launch.
01:09:22All the Russian missiles are self-destructing over the ocean.
01:09:25All of them?
01:09:26Yes, all of them.
01:09:36Come around again.
01:09:40Yes?
01:09:41Barofs is dead.
01:09:43You have confirmation?
01:09:44I'm in the middle of it.
01:09:45Chernigov has the nuclear codes and is taking control of the Russian government.
01:09:49Well, tell him to hurry.
01:09:50We're still on the air attack and taking casualties.
01:09:53Mr. President?
01:09:54Yes?
01:09:56There's another Russian missile incoming.
01:09:59How is that possible?
01:10:01The Russian arsenal is old, and their tech is prone to glitch.
01:10:05Where's it headed?
01:10:06Right here, Washington, D.C.
01:10:10Time to impact?
01:10:12Three minutes.
01:10:13Maybe less.
01:10:17I have to call you back.
01:10:19Two minutes.
01:10:20It's one missile.
01:10:21Don't we have some kind of surface-to-air defense?
01:10:23Not a projectile moving that fast, no.
01:10:27Are we still on the line to Footloose?
01:10:29If he's still in the air.
01:10:32Executive One to Footloose, you copy?
01:10:34Go for Footloose.
01:10:36There's a nuclear warhead incoming from the north.
01:10:39Jesus.
01:10:40Of course.
01:10:41We need you to acquire it, close on it at the best possible speed, and destroy it.
01:10:46You sure I'm your best shot?
01:10:48The F.A.X. sensor array is the most advanced targeting hardware we've got.
01:10:52It's our only chance.
01:10:54Copy that.
01:10:55Mr. President?
01:10:57He's closing on the missile's trajectory.
01:10:59I've got it.
01:11:00Vectoring to target.
01:11:01Plus Mach 1 and accelerating.
01:11:03Russian warhead approaching.
01:11:07Almost having it.
01:11:09Almost have it.
01:11:11I've got target locked.
01:11:15Dammit!
01:11:16Footloose, are you alright?
01:11:17I'm under attack.
01:11:19Footloose, talk to me.
01:11:28She did it! They've lost comms!
01:11:31Forzak, you dick.
01:11:36Woo!
01:11:38Footloose, are you alright?
01:11:40Yes, sir. I am.
01:11:43Reacquiring the missile.
01:11:46Alright, he's back on the pursuit course.
01:11:48I've got target locked.
01:11:50Missile in flight and closing in on Russian warhead.
01:11:53Come on, Footloose.
01:11:55I've got it.
01:11:57I've got it.
01:11:58Missile in flight and closing in on Russian warhead.
01:12:00Come on, Footloose.
01:12:01Come on, come on, come on.
01:12:04I've got it!
01:12:05Yes!
01:12:06Yes!
01:12:18This is President Chernigov of the Russian Federation.
01:12:22President Chernigov.
01:12:24It is a pleasure to hear your voice.
01:12:26I offer an unconditional ceasefire, effective immediately.
01:12:32The United States gladly accepts.
01:12:35Is President Stewart alright?
01:12:39We're still standing by.
01:12:41You and he have conducted more recent restraint than I would have foreseen.
01:12:47I thank you.
01:12:49And I hope, despite deeply unfortunate events of late,
01:12:52we may continue the work begun at Washington Summit.
01:12:56That is my hope as well.
01:12:59Please tell President Stewart that I wish him swift recovery.
01:13:04Actually, sir, you may be able to tell him yourself.
01:13:07One moment.
01:13:08Mr. President?
01:13:09I don't know. You looked the part.
01:13:12I have Russian President Chernigov on the line.
01:13:15We have a ceasefire, sir.
01:13:17Yes, President Stewart here.
01:13:19You had the Vice President for me just now.
01:13:22We thank you and we accept.
01:13:24Good.
01:13:26I'll talk to you soon, Mr. President.
01:13:31Are you back, sir?
01:13:35I am.
01:13:36The doctors have signed off.
01:13:41I'm told you seared through some choppy serve.
01:13:46Did the best I could, sir.
01:13:48And how did you like it?
01:13:49Glad you're back, Mr. President.
01:13:56Hello?
01:13:57Hey.
01:13:59Everything okay?
01:14:01It is now, I think.
01:14:05How are you?
01:14:07I'm just cleaning up. Headed back to the embassy to do a debrief soon.
01:14:11I appreciated having someone I could trust on the ground.
01:14:14I'm grateful I had you to call.
01:14:17You ever get back to D.C.?
01:14:19I'm in Langley when I'm back in the country.
01:14:22Should be more now than what covers Fulham.
01:14:25Give me a call when you get back.
01:14:28Be nice to see your face.
01:14:31All right.
01:14:36I'm so glad to see you.
01:14:39But I thought...
01:14:41Me too.
01:14:49I love you.
01:15:19I love you too.
01:15:49I love you.
