I want my million in cash,

right now.

What?

What could you possibly

threatening me with now?

I know you could shoot me.

But you wouldn't have anyone to fly

your little plane over there.

Right here, a million dollars.

Cash.

Used bills non sequential,

as requested.

And, and...

It'll be right there

waiting for you.

When the job is done.

Naturally.

Naturally.

Excuse me for a minute.

- Yes.

- We have a problem.

Masters and his men had to

divert to Syria.

I want you to do

what you can for them.

Of course.

The higher ups are gonna

expect the full breifing..

- on what exactly went wrong.

- I'm sure they will.

A bullet must have

cracked the pan.

If we're bleed out,

we're dead.

How much farther to Dayr?

Or whatever the hell.

20 km!

Everybody strap in.

Let's get into 5k before

the engines quit.

Hopefully with a little bit of wind,

we'll glide in the rest of the way.

Roger that.

We just change the plan.

Why wake a sleeping bear?

Why don't we just drop Rainmaker

and be done with it?

They'd never had the chance.

You kill the bear

in its sleep.

Intels said the Russians

are gonna help the Americans.

Tom Craig taught a lot of

these men to fly.

What if he gets his loyalty confused?

You want to take that chance?

I don't.

This is the moment

we were talking about.

And what about my son?

Your son is gonna be here

safe with me.

What's more, your boy is gonna watch

his father fight for freedom.

What other kid would get

such a chance?

You think about that.

Gentlemen,

this weapon I have here in my hand,

differs in some small

things from a stinger.

The biggest difference is that

you can not hide from her,

even if one really wants.

So do not direct them at me.

Close up to the General,

ask him if he cared..

where these things

might really be going.

General, I have to ask,

in whose hands will the weapons be?

My job is not to question that,

my job is to fly.

Leonid, hi, it's Karen.

I can not find professor Dymov.

Karen, the professor is dead.

He's dead.

One message from

the command center for you.

Go.

But I think I found

what he wanted to tell you.

So the reason it's called Rainmaker...

Rumor has it..

you put the Rainmaker

in a two-seater?

Why is that?

Well, you play American football, right?

I'm listening.

You're like the man

with the ball..

And that over there..

Those are like your blockers.

It's 30 minutes.

I'm coming with you.

What, you're my Rizzo now?

More like an insurance policy.

Mayday! Mayday!

I need to speak with

Colonel Grachov immediately!

Cobra, this is Blackbird!

- Blackbird, we are requesting

clearance to land. - That's a negative.

AIRBASE NEAR SYRIAN BORDER.

We have engine failure and

we may have to glide in.

You can not land here!

You have no permission

to land to Syria!

We got a bogey at 3:00 clock.

I got no tally on 2:00.

Cobra, there's nothing I can do!

USA..

Step in brakes.

Oh, sh*t.

Wait, now.

Friendly... friendly

It's de ja vu all over again.

Relax.

Wow, wow, wow!

Put down the guns!

Anna?

Yura?

What? Do you know her?

Yes sir, I know her.

That's her ex-husband?

Excuse me, may I speak?

Put down your guns!

There is a device

out there called Rainmaker.

It could potentially kill

millions of people.

No, no. Rainmaker destroys oil fields.

Yes, but the byproduct is that

it's a mist clouds...

of radioactive toxins that gather

in the lower atmosphere.

And then when there's enough moisture,

it comes back down and it'd kill..

everything it touches.

That's why it's called Rainmaker.

Webster said they were gonna launch it

in four hours, and that was..

that was two hours ago.

- Do you understand?

- Grachov.

Are those your Sukhois?

What the hell

are you thinking?

What the hell are you talking about?

Ask him if we can borrow the planes,

they do not have to be involved.

General, a lot of people will die,

if this bomb is not stopped.

We have tried to destroy them,

but were lured into a trap.

One man has already died.

Please, your planes are

our last hope!

Who would do that?

Do you hear that?

We have just received

invitation to participate.

I understand.

Hey man, you have to come out

of there immediately.

Stay down!

- What are you doing here?

- To help, what else?

Thank you!

Go, go, go, go, go!

- That ought to slow them down.

- Good.

You're alright?

Okay?

We got it.

General, all planes are destroyed,

except for two.

If we do nothing, soon the whole

base is destroyed.

We need to help the Americans.

Who knew we were landing here?

Webster. Who else did he tell?

Fly with the Americans and

kill those bastards!

Yes, sir!

Listen, Cobra.

Take the fuels to Sukhoi, go.

- Okay?

- Yes!

Listen man..

If that's Rodeo up there

flying for them..

he's better than all of us,

ain't no shame in that.

Maybe I should fly with you.

Good idea.

Rodeo is dangerous in the sky.

If anyone knows his moves..

It's you two.

Skids and I handle the leftovers.

With the Russia.

Let's do this.

Let's do it, baby.

Is that true?

Tom is flying Rainmaker?

- We're not sure who's up there.

- But you will be.

You are better than

you realize.

Tom always said about you.

And it's been seven years.

So come back to me.

We got to bug out.

Get inside one of those bunkers.

Stay close to the wall.

I'll see you soon.

- In quick..

- Get your load off..

- Get out quick.

- Amen.

Clear!

Asim, you see the planes? Destroy them.

Ya Allah!

We gotta get off the ground.

He's coming for us.

- Sh*t.

- Over there.

We're good to go.

Let's go.

Alright, we're out.

I'll help you.

- Keep your eyes open! - Where

is he? - We gotta go, Skids.

We're sitting ducks here.

Let's go, come on.

Come on.

He's coming,

you gotta get in the air.

I can see him.

He may start soon.

Take him down now.

He's on six,

we're not gonna make it.

I have target,

I'm taking care of it.

Yeah, Cobra..

To the moon, Cobra!

You take the one on the ground.

Ya Allah!

You and I will take the ones

in the air, now go!

12:
00 clock, coming right at us.

Two of them.

Make that three,

make that three. Sh*t!

We have target at 4:30 clock.

Let's blow them

out of the sky.

- Asim, fire!

- Got it!

Again!

Fire!

- We got two missiles breaking

our way. - Breaking right.

Breaking left!

- Skids, you got a heat on your 6:00.

- Copy that.

He's still tracking us.

Flares.

I can't find them.

- Get him away from us.

- I'm trying.

Skids, get that sh*t off our ass.

What are you doing?

What are you doing, man?

Hang on, Vasquez.

- Skids, pull up!

- Not yet!

Pull up, man!

Pull up!

Pull up!

Hang on, Vasquez!

Skidmore's in the house.

Let's go back and

join the fight.

- Everything okay, Skids?

- I can not see!

I got you.

Consider that a warning,

I could've blown your assout of the sky.

Rodeo, what the hell

are you doing, man?

What the hell are you doing

is the question.

Fly do west as far as you can

before ejecting.

With any luck, you'll end up in Syria.
