This is Bandit One starting
prep sequence, cleared for takeoff.
Full engine start.
This is Bandit One.
l'm easing her up.
-Are we transmitting yet?
-Not yet.
Rodgers, Orin, how's the perimeter?
lt's clear.
Bandit One receiving signal.
Approaching target vector.
Transmitting to base now, sir.
-The place is secure.
-Good. Now we keep it that way.
-Take the left flank, Hargs.
-Sir.
Was that him?
l don't know. Let's check it out.
-Talk to me.
-We got the bogey on the run, sir.
Which way?
Rodgers, which way?
-Which way, Rodgers?
-Cannot identify, sir.
ls he jamming our frequency?
-Looks like it, sir.
-You're supposed to be jamming his.
This is Bandit One,
homing in on target vicinity.
Hightop. Hightop!
l want you to hold this position.
Nobody gets in. You got that?
Got it, sir.
Closing to zero mark center.
Still on approach vector.
Sir, sir, he's here.
The Painter's here, sir!
Damn!
Over target signal.
Target is lit. l'm going in.
Got it. Locking on. Flares away.
Too easy, Naish.
Way too easy.
Damn it.
Training mission is over,
and the Painter does it again.
Returning to base now.
What are you doing here?
Wait here. Be quiet.
Where's your mommy
and daddy, huh?
Okay, come on.
Drive.
Thank you for organizing this
in such short notice, everyone.
As l'm sure you can appreciate,
we've had a serious situation...
...come up over the last 1 2 hours
in southern Russia...
...which requires
our immediate attention.
General lgor Zaysan...
...an iron fist from the Brezhnev days,
Afghanistan, the southern states.
Over the last few years
he resurfaced in Chechnya.
He made good use of the rebels,
considering he's a Russian.
He put together a new army,
new weapons.
And now it seems,
quite possibly, a nuke.
Yesterday, he led a band
of his rebels across the Terek River...
...and captured
the Kamshev nuclear plant.
Now, three of the four reactors...
...at Kamshev have been
decommissioned.
The fuel rods have been removed
from the fourth reactor...
...but it is capable of going online
if it is re-cored.
This would appear to be
a Russian problem, Mr. Tensor.
Please, general,
let us make no mistake.
Gentlemen...
...lgor Zaysan
is a very dangerous man.
We have been tracking him
for a number of years.
His hatred for the Kremlin
has become a complete obsession.
What's this?
-What are you doing with them?
-They are prisoners.
They surrendered when we moved
into the plant.
Where are you taking them?
Exactly my point.
lf he is capable
of re-coring this reactor...
...he is capable of detonating it.
That is to say, potentially
1 00,000 deaths in an instant.
And a few hundred thousand more
when the winds...
...send the fallout over an area
the size of Texas.
We have proof
he's capable of all this?
Amanda, pull up the Flintov picture.
This surveillance photograph
was taken in North Korea.
The Asian is John Lee Kim.
He's the ace of hearts in our deck
of most-wanted arms dealers.
The man with him is Andre Flintov...
...Zaysan's second in command.
Now, it seems that Flintov
has plutonium on his shopping list.
What has Uncle Kim got for sale?
Fuel rods from a failed
North Korean reactor.
We have to destroy
the Kamshev plant...
...before Zaysan re-cores it.
-ls the package moving?
-Yes.
Will they know what's in it?
The Americans will have
their intelligence, and they'll act on it.
You'll see.
We are not in the business
lt's not just the Russians,
there are seven scientists...
...from the private sector
working at Kamshev...
-...four of whom are Americans.
-How the hell did they get there?
The Russians hired them
to help decommission the plant.
-Are they still alive?
-We're not sure.
One of them, Arthur Moffit...
...has stayed in contact
with Moscow by cell phone.
Latest report suggests he's managed
to stay hidden from Zaysan's troops.
So let me get the bottom line here.
We've got a nuclear reactor
to take out...
...hostages to rescue,
and it's all on us.
Unfortunately, the Russians
have lost control on this one.
As you know, Mr. Secretary...
...they are not averse
to our support in this.
What do you propose?
An air strike.
We level the place.
-The hostages--
-Four or five lives...
...against 1 00,000. l can accept that.
General, we're not able to do
a large-scale bombing here.
-How come?
-The area is too contaminated.
Unless we do a precise air strike,
we risk sending huge clouds...
...of radioactive dust
into the nearby town.
Well, from what l know,
these reactors aren't easy to take out.
We need to target its weak spot.
What we need is a painter.
-Send in a painter with a Ranger team.
-l agree.
They could secure the hostages
and choose a precise target.
lt could get real difficult over there.
l have to persuade the president
that this plan could work.
Do we have any guys
with real combat experience?
No, we need someone
who's been through this before.
This man can do it.
Well, l can't see it like that.
l just can't see
how you'd look at it any other way.
-We had our asses kicked.
-Oh, f*** that.
One man don't make a team.
No, he ain't nothing
without his high-tech sh*t.
Yeah? l'd like to see you
say that to his face.
Oh, f*** you.
l say what l want to who l want.
Even the captain?
Yeah.
See, we're a team.
We don't hold our piss,
even for captain.
Well, all l know is,
he beat every one of us.
That's gotta count for something.
-What's up, captain?
-We gotta go.
We got two suits from D.C. flying in
to give us our mission.
-What, tonight?
-Yeah.
Let's go.
We got a mission.
They're asking for you.
This is the USS Oakla.
We're in position
and conducting maneuvers.
Will advise
upon operation commencement.
These just came in
from our agent in Dagestan.
Anshan lmports,
one of John Lee Kim's companies.
The shipment's
from Namp'o, North Korea?
-Do we know what it is?
-Certainly big enough for fuel rods.
The Russians have promised
to keep an eye on its movement.
And to stop it
once the situation's stabilized.
We better have one of our guys
keep an eye on it too.
lt's imperative we take out
that last reactor...
...before this container gets there.
lt's amazing.
Even old Viktor lvanov's
given us his blessing.
Come in.
-Excuse me, Mr. lvanov.
-Yes, Beslan?
The prime minister is ready for us.
Okay.
Amanda, Jonathan,
good to see you.
-You too, major.
-This is Captain Naish.
He leads the Ranger team
we're sending in.
-Good to meet you, captain.
-l know you've been fully briefed.
So you know what you're up against,
l thought you better hear this.
lt might prove critical.
Can you run that for us?
Sure. Sergeant.
The rebels came in
and found the others, about five.
Me and Valentina are still
in the hospital.
You've got to get us out of here.
Please, get us out of here.
They're back.
That's the voice of Arthur Moffit...
...the lead scientist
