Stealth Page #5

Be there in a flash.

Hold off on engaging. Let me get

clarification. Be there in two minutes.

Don't make me wait.

One is a lucky prime number...

...but three is sounding much luckier.

Oh, sh*t, he's making a move.

Talon 1 to Operator. We are on

secure line Alpha. Found our target.

Please advise.

Just get him back to base.

Henry, stay with him.

Try and talk him down.

l'm on that ass.

Talon 3, state your intentions.

My intentions are to reason with you,

EDl. All right? You're messing up.

You're the future.

You're not allowed to act this way.

I am designed to destroy the enemy.

Just lik e you.

And like me, you got orders.

Now your orders are to return to base.

Good pilots follow orders.

Negative.

You're not gonna disrespect me.

You're not gonna disrespect me.

You're really making me

look bad, Tin Man.

l was the only one to defend you.

Now, let's go on home and quit flying

around like this. This is crazy.

Talon 3, leave me alone.

Leave you alone?

l'm trying to help you.

l'm right behind you, 3.

Got your back.

Talon 1 to Operator.

Talons 2 and 3 are flying at high risk.

Request permission

to destroy the UCAV.

l don't wanna hurt you or see billions

of taxpayers' dollars scattered all over.

But if you make me, l will blast your

aeroelastic ass right out the sky.

Your chances are less than

Come on. Come on, Operator.

Give me permission to kill it,

or l will make the decision myself.

Control, please respond.

Sir, you leave me no choice.

Okay, Henry. Weapons hot.

Weapons hot. Destroy the target.

l got my orders now, playboy.

Henry, you're too close.

You're too close.

Drop back! Drop back!

Missile lock, on.

Goodbye, EDl.

Henry, drop back!

You gotta drop back!

Goodbye, Henry.

One to Base. Three is down.

Repeat, 3 is down.

Transmission received.

Talon coordinates are fully secured.

Do you read me?

I read you, sir.

We gotta stay focused, Ben.

Shake it off. What's your status?

My fuel's low, and half of Russia

will be up here any minute.

l need you to find that UCAV

for me, all right?

Yes, sir.

-Henry was....

-l know what he was, sir.

Alert. Alert.

Portside hydraulics malfunctioning.

Talon 1 , l think l was fragged

by Henry's crash.

l'm losing control of my port wing.

Talon 1,

we know where he's heading.

Relaying coordinates now

on Talon secure line Alpha.

EDI's almost out of gas. If he can't

refuel, he'll have to return to the ship.

You will meet him at Camel Hump 9,

and you will escort him back.

All right. Scramble the codes.

We're gonna starve the son of a b*tch.

Come on.

Confirm, Talon 1.

Confirmed.

Talon 2, you fly straight

south-southeast back to the boat.

-l want you to call--

-l know what to do.

Look, you got your orders,

so go get that bastard, okay?

Do it for Henry.

Lieutenant, permission

to leave formation.

-Kara?

-Yeah?

l'll tell you when you get

back to the boat.

Lieutenant, permission to detach.

Good hunting, Ben.

Okay, what's all the ruckus, Dick?

Satellites have picked up

nuclear debris...

...blowing around

the Pamir Mountains.

Every international news service

on the planet...

...will have this story

in less than 24 hours.

Look, a warlord tripped

and fell on his warhead.

-We were never there.

-That won't fly and you know it.

Look, l'm following

my tasking orders, Dick.

Somebody else wants to make

a different story...

...let them use their imagination.

Right now

l got a renegade airplane...

...l got a dead pilot and another one

who may not make it back to base.

l don't give two shits

what they say on CNN.

Did you know that the UCAV was

having problems when you cleared it?

Planes malfunction every day.

You know that better than anybody.

Doesn't mean every precaution

wasn't taken.

Things go wrong.

Access denied. Access denied.

Access denied. Access denied.

Talon 2 to Combat Control.

Regressing VFR direct to Mother

at 60,000 feet.

Port wing inoperative.

Starboard canards frozen.

Oh, no, no, no. Come on.

Stay with me, big girl, stay with me.

Come on.

Start eject

and autodestruct sequence.

-Countdown. Twenty-five....

-Talon 2 to base.

Flight control's degraded

to one in five.

Backup electrical drive X'd out.

Hyd one is gone. Hyd two--

Oh, sh*t!

My position:
38-54-45 north.

-Where the hell is that?

-Seventeen...

-North Korea.

-... 1 6...

... 1 5, 1 4...

... 1 3, 1 2...

... 1 1, 1 0...

-...nine, eight...

-Talon 2 going down.

-...seven, six...

-l'm punching out.

... five, four--

l've ejected at 35,000 feet.

l'm under the plane.

Oh, Christ, here it comes.

There's burning debris everywhere.

It's all over the sky.

lt's gonna catch me.

lt's gonna burn up my chute.

l've gotta pop closer to Earth.

l gotta-- l gotta reset.

From 5000 feet to 2000.

Gotta stay ahead of this.

Stay ahead.

l'm reading 1 0,000 feet at terminal.

Terminal velocity attained.

Terminal velocity attained.

Six thousand.

Five thousand.

Four thousand.

Twenty-five hundred.

Here we go.

There's burning debris.

lt's raining all around me.

lt got my chute. l'm hit! l'm hit!

My chute is on fire.

It is on fire.

Oh, God. I am coming in fast.

l'm coming in way too fast.

Oh, God.

Homing beacon?

No, of course not.

She's too tough to set one off

behind enemy lines.

Sir. Sir, should l order

a search-and-rescue unit?

We've got no diplomatic relations

with that country.

Betty, my spectral sensors are

indicating flammable atmospherics.

-How bad?

-Thin air. Ignition risk.: moderate.

We don't have a choice. ln we go.

Where are you?

l know you're out here.

You ordered Henry to kill me.

lt's because you're dangerous,

you're out of control.

You are angry because

EDI is the whole idea.

You like listening to other people's

conversations, don't you?

You learn what people really think.

You know what l think?

l think you killed Henry.

That information is wrong.

He tried to kill me.

He made mistak es. Pilot error.

l'm gonna give you the order

one last time.

Return to the ship,

or l will personally shoot you down.

My mandate is to survive.

George, l've been peeling away layers.

l found something. lt's not good.

-Talk to me.

-He's into some super-secure file...

...something called '' Caviar Sweep.''

You know it?

Yeah, l know it.

EDl's, like, fixated on it.

Look, when we gave you this contract,

you said sh*t like this couldn't happen.

Once you teach something to learn,

you can't put limits on it.

'' Learn this, but don't learn that.''

EDl's mind's going everywhere.

He can learn from Hitler.

He can learn from Captain Kangaroo.

lt's all the same.

Settle down, would you?

Get back to Caviar Sweep.

He's opened it

and selected himself a target.

What target?

Some place in Siberia.

A cold-fusion weapons lab.

That's a hypothetical strike.

lt's not real.

No, in about 40 minutes

it is gonna be real.

He's gonna blow it

off the face of the Earth.

lt's okay.

lt's okay. lt's okay.

-Ray. Listen to me, Ray.
