on the internet, to seek help.

- How did he say it happened?

- He will not talk about it.

Was anyone else exposed

to the materials that made you sick?

Mr Ghazi, I'm not the police.

I'm a physician. I assure you that anything

you say to me, stays between us.

My friend and I find bomb.

We sell to a man

who buys such things.

Was it this man?

Other people may have come

in contact with that bomb.

We must help them.

I am... going to die?

Yes?

Yes.

His name is Olson.

He live in Damascus.

Oh, yeah. We're getting it all.

Mr President, we need you

to initiate snapcount.

What happens then?

We prepare to take out their land-based

missiles with a nuclear strike,

find and kill their subs, knock out whatever

the planes they have on the ground

and mobilise our fighters to destroy

the ones they already have in the air.

What are our chances?

David?

Odds are we leave Nemerov

in a pretty pickle.

He'll be left with, at best,

a few hundred nukes,

the ones we can't find.

Mostly the... smaller, more mobile,

less accurate kind.

All those can do is target our cities.

But he knows to an absolute certainty

that we will respond against his cities.

I spent my entire adult life

wanting to be president.

This is my presidency?

Sir, I believe he'll keep his 300 nukes as a

deterrent against any future aggressor.

I think he'll push back from the table

and call it a night.

I'm giving the order for snapcount.

Maximum readiness.

Olson had wire payments of $45 million

from someone named Dressler.

Dillon, find out who Dressler is.

Jack, I want you out of there.

- I'm at the docks.

- Look for the name Dressler.

No. Jack, get out. Dillon, call the

Baltimore PD, give them the address.

- Wait for the cops.

- I'll call you back.

Who's Dressler?

Where is he, goddamn it?

Where is Dressler?

Police! Put your hands up!

- Where's Dressler?

- Are you Jack Ryan?

- Where's Dressler, goddamn it?

- Let him go!

Where's Dressler? Where is he?

Langley said you might need help.

- I gotta get to the Pentagon.

- I think I can help you with that.

Mr President.

Their Stealth bombers

have left Aviano.

That is the sign.

Shoot them down.

God protect us.

Mr President, the Russians are scrambling

their fighters. We're out of time.

- Dave!

- He has a heart condition.

- Get a doctor.

- Mr President.

- Where's your nitro?

- I said get a doctor!

- Mr President.

- Take him to my quarters.

Colonel, bring in the launch codes.

Dressler's an Austrian manufacturer,

billionaire.

His father was executed at Nuremberg.

He bought himself a seat in parliament and got

booted out for saying nice things about pro-Nazi

Rudy, get me through to the President.

I can't do it, Jack.

- C'mon get me through

- They're in the snapcount, Jack.

- There's no way in.

- Bullshit.

- I can do that for you, sir.

- No, it's fine. Got some dirt on it.

- Can I see it? We're on high alert.

- I understand.

- Sir, put the card down.

- Back off.

- I am ordering you...

- Back off!

Step back now! I am ordering you to

take a step back immediately, sir! Put...

General, there's a Dr Ryan

from the CIA.

He wants to enter NMCC.

He's unescorted.

- What's he want?

- You, sir.

Sir, My name is Jack Ryan.

I have an urgent message from Director Cabot

that I need to transmit over the hotline immediately.

- What's your authorisation?

- I don't have authorisation

- Where's Cabot?

- Cabot's dead, sir.

- I need to get this information sent.

- Not without authorisation. Get him out.

Wait! General! The President is basing

his decisions on bad information!

If you shut me out,

your family and my family

and 25 million other families

will be dead in 30 minutes.

My orders are to get the right information

to the people who make the decisions.

I just need to send some information.

What makes you think

the President will listen to you?

He doesn't have to.

You'll have the launch sequence

processed after you give the order.

Before the order can be taken,

an ID check must be performed.

Mine is the... My number is...

...the third one... third number down

from the top.

Your orders, sir?

- Strike.

- I'm sorry, sir?

I give the order to strike.

Under the two-man rule, the order

to strike must now be confirmed.

Bob, for the love of God.

Just do it.

Sidney Owens, Secretary of State.

It's the fourth number down.

The order to strike has now been

confirmed by the two-man rule.

NMCC, strike order has been

confirmed. Start the sequence.

- We've got activity on the hotline.

- They've had their chance.

No, somebody's talking to the Kremlin.

It says, "America has been the victim

of a terrorist attack."

As you can imagine, there has

been much confusion here...

...and fear.

But we know the weapon

was not Russian.

"But we know the weapon

was not Russian."

What the hell is going on?

Type exactly what I say.

Who are we talking to?

Ryan. I met you in Moscow with

Bill Cabot. He died today in Baltimore.

- Cut him off.

- Launch sequence has begun.

Two months ago,

a neo-fascist named Dressler bought

an A-bomb on the black market.

- Cut him off.

- The system can't be cut off.

The system is set up so you can't cut it off

That's the whole idea

Then get somebody down there to stop him.

- He paid three disaffected Russian...

- "scientists to make the bomb active."

"He shipped it to the US,

where a man named Mason"

was hired to deliver the bomb and

set our countries on a collision course.

What are you asking of me?

Back down.

What guarantee do I have that

President Fowler will follow suit?

None.

You see? He is wasting time.

We must launch now.

We have only moments.

Sir, I know you. I know you had

nothing to do with the Baltimore bomb

and you're sure as hell know you didn't, but you're

still about to launch a nuclear strike against us.

- Yes, sir. That's all, Dr Ryan.

- Now it's about fear.

Our fear of your missiles,

your fear of our subs.

Fear of being weak,

of making a mistake,

the fear of the other guy that had us

build these bombs in the first place!

It stopped.

Oh, my God. Mr President?

We will maintain our defensive alert

for the moment,

but our offensive forces

are withdrawn.

"If you match this, I propose a phased

mutual stand down over five hours."

Stop the launch sequence.

Lasseter here. Flash override.

Stop the sequence!

Order the planes to stand down.

Take us to DEFCON-3.

And would somebody ask Mr Ryan

if I can use the phone now?

You're still here.

There is no more fitting memorial

for those who perished in this tragedy

than the steps we've taken this week

toward a multinational campaign

to root out and eliminate

weapons of mass destruction.

We embarked on this course because

we have learned, at too great a cost,

that if the most powerful weapons

ever created are unleashed,

they will be fired not in anger,

but in fear.

Dr Ryan.

Mr Grushkov.

It is... a lovely day.

Yeah.

- I'm sorry, this is...
