Creating Reality: The Visual Effects of 'The Sum of All Fears' Page #4

three days ago.

It shows vehicles here.

Guards here and here.

I gotta get one of those.

Now, the infrared satellite

took this photograph 34 hours ago.

That shows guards here and here.

I don't even have e-mail.

There are two at the checkpoint,

between two and five in the barracks

and two with the package,

which we believe to be here.

No problem. Give me a couple

of guys, some tranquilliser darts,

we can be out in six minutes.

- There is a problem.

- What's that?

This is yesterday.

No guards visible at all.

Why is that a problem, Mr Ryan?

For two reasons. Either we can't

see them, which is bad,

or worse, they left, and we're too late.

Suit up.

- What?

- You can't go dressed like that.

No, no. I'm an analyst.

I don't go on missions.

Relax, 007. It's not a mission.

It's just a recce.

OK, fine, whatever you call it.

I don't do that. I just write reports.

OK. So write a report about it. Suit up.

Clark, no.

Clark... no.

So, Cabot tells me you got my ticket

to the correspondents dinner.

Have a good time?

I've never been to one of those.

I was actually looking forward to it.

Clark, no. I'm not going in there.

Goddamn right. You're gonna stay here

and make sure no one steals my boat.

Be right back.

Damn.

Oh, Jesus.

Oh, God. Immigration didn't

call you guys, huh?

I'm sorry. You speak English?

I don't speak much Ukrainian.

It's not what you think. I'm an

American citizen. I have my papers...

OK. No papers.

Please. Just put the gun down.

The light? You want

me to put the light down?

OK. Take it easy.

I'll put the light down.

Here we go, I'm putting it down.

Shoot him, Ryan.

Shoot him.

Shoot him before he figures out

what I'm saying.

- Get their shoes.

- What?

Tell them to take their shoes off.

- You speak Ukrainian.

- Yeah. You don't?

Whatever it is they were spray painting

was big, about the size of a fridge.

The imprint it left was deep.

So we know three things.

It was heavy, something was

radioactive, and now it's gone.

- One of them spoke English?

- South African.

So, what's a South African

doing in the Ukraine

with three Russian scientists

and a crate from Israel?

- Tell Cabot I'll call him from Haifa.

- I have a feeling you better hurry.

Most people believe the 20th century

was defined by the death struggle

of communism versus capitalism

and that fascism was but a hiccup.

Today we know better.

Communism was a fool's errand. The

followers of Marx, gone from this earth.

But the followers of Hitler

abound and thrive.

Hitler, however,

had one great disadvantage.

He lived in a time when fascism,

like a virus,

like the AIDS virus,

needed a strong host in order to spread.

Germany was that host.

But strong as it was,

Germany could not prevail.

The world was too big.

Fortunately, the world has changed.

Global communications,

cable TV, the internet.

Today the world is smaller

and the virus does not need

a strong host in order to spread.

This virus...

...is airborne.

One more thing.

Let no man call us crazy.

They called Hitler crazy, but Hitler

wasn't crazy. He was stupid.

You don't fight Russia and America.

You get Russia and America

to fight each other

and destroy each other.

- What did you find?

- Ukraine's exports are online.

I pulled up every shipping manifests

from the past weeks

The only crate that size that imprint was

picked up at Kiev International 10 days ago

and flown to the Canary Islands.

The air force has a nuclear

assessment team. Call them...

Jack, it got put on a cargo freighter,

headed for the East Coast.

- What?

- Baltimore. It's coming here.

It's a great view from the Budweiser

blimp as we count down to game time.

We'll have the pre-game festivities

as well as the arrival of the nation's

number one football fan in a moment.

Then conquer we must

For our cause it is just

And this be our motto

In God is our trust

And the star-spangled banner

Forever shall wave

O'er the land of the free...

Get me the duty officer!

Home of the brave

Ladies and gentlemen,

the President of the United States,

Robert Fowler!

Showtime.

Sh*t.

That's the way!

Sh*t.

Hello.

- Hello?

- Sir!

- Hello?

- Sir!

Sh*t!

- Cabot.

- It's Ryan.

- What?

- The bomb is in play.

The AFRAT team are meeting me at

the docks in 20 minutes to try to find it.

- What docks?

- Baltimore.

- You're breaking up. What did you say?

- Baltimore.

- I'm losing you. I'll call you back...

- Baltimore.

Sir!

John! Red-Green! Let's go! Let's go!

Move it! Let's go!

Move! Go, go, go, go! Move!

What the hell is going on?

Some Russian scientists made a

nuclear bomb. It's arrived in Baltimore.

- Get those people out of the stadium.

- Stay down!

The President has been taken

off the field.

- 407.

- Thanks, JJ.

Clearly something has happened

of tremendous proportions.

We have no word as to what but

there is an enormous cloud over...

Go, go, go!

Mr President! Are you all right?

He's stuck. Get out of the way.

Mr President, are you all right?

Are you all right, Mr President?

This is the marines, sir.

I need your help, Danny.

Alvarez, get me a stretcher, now!

You got the stretcher?

- You got the stretcher?

- No, I don't want one.

Let's go! Let's go! Let's go!

Move it!

Move it!

Go, go! Close them off! Go on up!

Hey! It's Ryan.

- Jack, where are you?

- I don't know, somewhere outside Baltimore.

- Cabot got the President out.

- Where is the President now?

They're taking him airborne, he's on NAOC.

They think it might be the Russians.

It wasn't the Russians. I gotta talk to Cabot.

Can you patch me through to the plane.

Cabot's not on the plane. We don't know where he is.

We just know he's not there. Call back in an hour.

We don't have an hour. Fowler's gonna wanna

show us how tough he is, he's gonna hit back now.

Listen. We have to prove it wasn't the

Russians before he's convinced it is.

Can you get back to Langley?

There's no time. The radiation

assessment team, where are they?

Stambler Tunnels, south of the city.

Jack, with the prevailing winds are

blowing the fallout to the east and north.

As long as you stay south you're OK.

- Mr President, are you all right?

- How the hell do you think I am?

- How many casualties?

- We don't know.

Cabot said it was Russian,

how the hell did he get in there?

We don't know. Radar didn't pick it up.

- Well, how is Cabot? Where is he?

- I don't know.

- What do you know?

- I don't know, all right? I don't know!

- All right...

- I don't know for Christ sake!

- General, Kondor is not on board.

- Send the AFRAT team.

Mr President, I recommend

we move to DEFCON-2.

We don't even know where it came from

Where's our intelligence?

Russian air defences, they

moved at their highest level.

Maybe they're afraid of being attacked.

I can't get this goddamn chair open!

- Sir, DEFCON status?

- We're about to take off.

We don't know who did it,

we don't even know where we are
