In the news,

Sergeant Lee's widow is..

still not getting answers

about her husband's death.

Sergeant Lee was killed by

an apparently friendly fire.

It's been described as

human error.

The pilots responsible

from his death..

has still not

been named.

We're not getting

any answers.

My son's gonna grow up

without a father.

And I can't even tell him

what happened.

Turn that sh*t off.

He leaves behind a widow..

and a two year old son.

It's been 7 years..

and Sergeant Lee's widow

said the circumstances..

surrounding her husband's death..

still remain a mystery.

Rodeo, I'm gonna get you

You're deader than disco.

Ah, sh*t.

Let's head back to the ranch.

Viper Squad, Aerial Combat Training Facility

Fallon, NV.

In the real world, engaged

with the L-39 is what you're more..

likely to see,

so it's better..

you learn from me

what it can do..

rather than take a missile

up your six.

Are you finished, sir?

My job is to turn you into one of

the best fighter pilots in the world.

No, I'm not finished.

until you shoot me down,

you got that?

Typically if someone says they're

gonna give me two L-39er by Tuesday..

that means I'm gonna get

my planes on Tuesday.

Viper Squad!

Sink them deep, baby.

Okay, make it happen.

- Looking good.

- Alright.

- Nice work, buddy.

- Thanks, buddy.

Now, who wants a piece of me?

- Can I go shoot his ass down?

- He's all yours.

Hey, Cajun.

I got something personal

I need to deal with.

I need you to hold down the fort

for a few days, okay?

Cool, you're okay?

Yeah.

I'll see you in a few.

That was almost two months ago.

I haven't heard a word from him since.

Well, sh*t.

He's probably just hiding out

from some chick's husband.

He'll probably resurface...

fired up about some

get rich quick scheme.

Drag everyone back into

the Craigville.

Yeah, right.

Drag everyone back

except you.

You know. I just can't drink

the Koolaid anymore.

You know?

He'll show up eventually.

This time it's different.

The Feds are looking for him,

it's serious.

I got a feeling it may have to do

with that Rainmaker thing.

What makes you say that?

My tendency towards..

paranoia and conspiracy theories.

Until Captain Charisma comes back,

we're short a pilot if you..

want to come play with us

until your deal comes through?

Thank you, but no.

The money's decent.

Looks like

you could use some.

Sh*t I am three steps

from being a millionaire.

And one from being broke.

Maybe.

I might end up working for you.

Alright?

In the meantime..

Get some air freshener

in that can.

- Will do.

- You stink.

Alright.

Ah, come on.

I told pull them,

less throttle.

My girl says the same thing.

Hey guys!

What are we celebrating?

Here.

Rich boy's money

must be for real.

- You're going to Russia.

- No sh*t? Damn.

Be a good boy, too.

Leave the Russian honeys alone..

learn to fly that jet.

Cause this guy, he's gonna invest

in our future.

We get our own MIG,

we apply to fly and

before you know it...

- ... we got our own fleet.

- That's what I'm talking about.

To rich boy!

- Russia!

- Beginnings.

God, that's good.

Why am I here?

We did tests.

Lots of them.

My pilots only hit the target

30% of the time.

So this is about

more money.

We've waited centuries

for our homeland.

You are the one who told us

to wait all of these years..

until the Americans are gone.

We're doing this

for our freedom.

You and your friends at Geopetrol.

You're in this

for the money.

Well, Temir, I'm glad we

put that on the table.

So let's put something else

on the table.

If you and your people...

keep doing what

you've been doing...

you'll keep getting

what you got.

So what do you got?

No money,

No homeland.

And no freedom.

And that's why you'll do

exactly what I tell you.

I'll handle your little

pilot deficit.

but when I say it's time to jump,

you get out the trampoline.

Hey, little man.

Your father teaching you

about the price of freedom?

- Yes, sir.

- That's good.

Listen to him.

Most kids these days

have no idea.

Excuse me...

Excuse me...

Do you know the best place

to see the air show?

The air show?

The planes?

Air show?

You got that?

I'm sorry we were late.

That was my fault.

It will not happen again, okay?

But I think we should be okay.

Hi, is this good

for both of us?

This is me, this is my friend.

Is that okay?

Karen?

Holy sh*t.

Butch?

- Oh my God!

- Oh wow.

What are you doing here?

We need a better viewing angle.

Come with us.

I need a panoramic view and a close-up.

Got it.

Let's blow out the candles.

I'm flying to the bridge.

This guy is good.

He's good.

I'm interviewing him later,

do you want to meet him?

Uh, no.

Come on, it'll be great.

There will always be war,

unfortunately..

it is part of our nature.

We can't rise above our nature?

I don't think so.

So tell me..

what does a warrior do..

when there's no war to be fought?

We do tricks.

To impress the ladies,

of course.

Chicks?

Okay.

It's about following the money

involves in an armed deals.

Basically,

after the Cold War...

after Perestroika, who is trafficking

the arms where it's available to them.

I've interviewed ex-army officials,

ex pilots...

even some of the scientists who helped

developed the weaponry.

It's crazy some of these stuff

has only been just declassified.

What are you thinking about?

Have you talked to Tom lately?

No, I have not.

Why do you ask?

Cajun said,

he's missing.

He thinks it might had

something to do with that whole..

Rainmaker mess.

So maybe if you can,

I don't know..

find information, or anything new..

That wasn't the best time

in my life.

You know?

It took me a long time

to get passed it, but I did.

I know you did.

And I'm glad..

I haven't.

I can't.

I'll look into it.

Okay?

Okay, thank you.

I'm so cold.

So..

- When should we go flying?

Soon? - No.

Are you crazy?

No, let's do it,

you go it. So easy..

Yeah, I don't read Russian.

There it is, there it is.

One more.

Okay.

And this place.

Try this hot soup.

It's so cold outside.

- I think it's borscht.

- Yes.

Thank you Volga.

Thank you,

thank you.

- She knows that I don't speak

Russian, right? - Right.

She's just messing with me?

She speaks Russian,

it's just the way it is.

- I can't believe I go

home tomorrow. - I know.

I think I'm going back

to the States soon, though.

I'm meeting with potential investor...

who's gonna see some

of my cut footage.

- It's good.

- Yeah.

Yeah.

This was nice.

That's not right.

All work and no play.

What about love?

Such a lovely couple.

And now, smile both of you.

I'll take off.

What did she say?

Not sure.

We are here to talk about

the Rainmaker.

Agents Davis and Cutter are from Langley

to tell us what the agency knows.

We believe that Saddam shelved and burried

Rainmaker before we arrived.

The project was born out of efforts to...

control the environmental effects of...

oil pipelines ruptures
