Let's get 'em!

All right.

We gotta be gone before he gets here.

I can't do this!

Listen, you told me

this is a copper mine, right?

- Right?

- Right.

The blast will fuse this place

into one big, solid, copper pot.

- But they're coming!

- That's right.

If I don't get these things

down to a safe level first,...

..God knows where he'll use them.

Just keep an eye on the timer, okay?

All right.

(low rumbling)

What is that noise?

Water. There's an underground river

beneath this place.

All right, let's get these unloaded.

I understand, sir.

I'll advise NEST and as soon as they confirm

the ground is clean,...

..l'll send in a dozen gunships.

We'll secure the area.

Yes, sir.

Giles Prentice, sir.

I got here as soon as I could.

- Wilkins. Good to meet you.

- Likewise, sir.

That was the chairman, Mr Prentice.

According to an NSA radio intercept,

you were right.

But it's Deakins stealing the nukes.

Not Hale.

(Terry) Now what?

Now we get outta here before he shows up.

How many times do I have to say it?

Please don't shoot the nuclear weapons.

Kelly! We've found the nuke.

We're at the end oftunnel A.

Put the cold one on the elevator.

We'll be right along.

A service tunnel! Come on!

Make sure Hale doesn't get back to the bomb.

And, Johnson...

The clock is ticking.

Hm...

- Where are you taking us?

- Back to the elevator.

These service tunnels

run between the main shafts.

Now, ifwe take the next right...

(Terry screams)

Hey, Hale!

Nice move with the nukes!

Shows initiative,...

..determination. Proud ofya!

But I think I gave us all too much time.

Shows a lack oftotal commitment,

don't you think?

I took it down to 13.

I'll be right back.

(gun clicks)

All set.

We'll be right along.

(Terry) Are you okay?

(Deakins) Well,... I gotta go.

You two have a nice time down here.

And, uh... don't forget to say hi

to Johnson for me when you see him.

I got 20 bucks that says

you're gonna see him first.

- Really?

- Yeah.

You're gonna ransom Salt Lake City,

aren't you?

- Well, why do you say that?

- St Jude's Hospital?

You'll hide the warheads in Radiology...

..so they don't show up

on any satellite scans. Right?

- Huh! Well, I'm impressed.

- Thank you.

- So how much will you ask for?

- Lots.

I got a broker in Stockholm

who's gonna buy me 5% ofVolvo.

For the rest of my years,

I'm gonna live offthe dividends,...

..happy in the knowledge...

..that I'm helping to make

the safest automobiles in the world.

So that's what this is all about?

The money?

(chuckles) Yeah.

Bullshit.

Well, look, you tell me why. Go ahead.

You tell me why.

Because you've been passed over

for promotion so often...

..you wanna show the bastards you're right!

Maybe it's because

everybody's cashing out, so why not you?

F***...

Or your mother dropped you

on your head as a baby.

Who the hell cares, Deak?

There's no difference between you

and a guy who shoots up a school yard.

You both got a head full of bad wiring!

- What was that?

- You're f***ed in the head, Deak!

Hah!

I pissed him off.

It's this way!

Hey, hey, hey!

Where the hell's the other one?

Shut up!

Help us. Come on!

(clattering)

(Pritchett) Get the goddamn thing in!

Let's get outta here!

That was the only way out.

Man...

Well, that's it, then, isn't it?

You have any family?

No... Just me and Fred.

Fred... Who's Fred, your boyfriend?

No, my dog.

The river!

Oh, my God! Oh, my God!

They... they... hit it,

uh... digging a tunnel!

That's why they shut down the mine!

Come on!

Hang on! Four minutes to detonation.

You stupid bastard! We'll all be killed!

We'll be fine, Mr Pritchett.

And will you please keep your voice down?

I'm concentrating.

This should be it!

This thing doesn't go anywhere.

Ohh!

One o'clock! On the road!

(gasping)

Attention! We are federalagents!

Stop your vehicle immediately!

Oh, God! Oh, God!

How does that gunship

fit into your grand strategy?

You don't know what you're doing.

This is out of control! I must have been...

(gagging)

Hush! Hush!

Stop your vehicle!

I repeat!

Stop your vehicle immediately!

Swing around in front of 'em!

Do notmove oryou willbe fired upon!

Uh-uh-uh-uh!

We are federalagents!

Throw down your weapons...

..and keep yourhands in sight!

I just realised something.

I never actually killed anyone before.

I mean, I dropped bombs on Baghdad,...

..but... never face to face.

I don't know what the big deal is.

I really don't.

Turn your electronic equipment off now.

Throw down your weapons!

All right!

We're losing power!

- What's going on?

- Oh, my God!

We've gone red! Triple red! All out!

Wahoo!

I say, goddamn! What a rush!

Whoo!

Son of a b*tch!

Shock wave took down the damn chopper!

That's EMP. Electromagnetic pulse.

A nuclear blast sends it out for miles.

Anything electronic shuts down

including choppers and radios.

We just shut down

McMurran's field communications!

That'll put a pretty little dent

in their response time, huh?

- Deak, you the man!

- I'm the man!

Colonel Wilkins, sir?

Shouldn't we be evacuating?

We're fine. It was underground.

- Colonel Wilkins for General Creely.

- How do you know?

With a surface detonation we'd have

felt a different kind of ground tremor.

We'd also be burned, blind, and dying.

We're ten minutes behind.

Mr Pritchett,

would you mind stepping outside?

It went off underground, thank God!

What do we do now?

First, we nail a huge goddamn lid

on this thing.

And with all due respect to your boy Giles...

..and his belief

that honesty is the best policy,...

..from now until the end ofthe world,...

..what happened in Utah today

was an earthquake.

Hey! It's okay...

- My God! We set off a nuclear bomb!

- The walls shielded the blast.

None ofthe radiation leaked out.

We're all right!

Look at my hands! Why are they shaking?

Because the water was freezing.

- No, that's not normal!

- It's okay. You're just cold.

You just need to get warm, okay?

All right?

Hey, look!

You see the butterflies there?

If there was radiation around,

they wouldn't survive, would they?

No.

Well...

- Right?

- I guess not.

It says in the, uh... detonation manual...

..that ifyou see butterflies after detonation,

you're gonna be fine.

Okay?

It doesn't say that!

I promise you that we're fine.

How far down the riverbank

does this path go?

Three or four miles.

We should be able to get to Deakins

before he gets outta here.

Wait!

Hey!

- There's just two ofthem.

- (man) Running late!

- (truck)

- There's more coming.

(tyres screech)

Hey! I thought you said

Hale wouldn't be a problem.

Yeah, well, he surprised me, too,

but he's dead, so let's go.

Sink it?

Steal it.

(man) Let's move it!

- They're coming!

- Get out ofthe boat!

Get out ofthe boat!

Your friends in Washington

should be getting the package about now.

Yep. I'm sure we got

their full and complete attention.

Let's move it!

- We're on a tight schedule!
