Have our START friends given us

04:27,656 -- 00:04:29,992

Yes, sir.

And we didn't even have to ask.

15

00:
04:30,868 -- 00:04:32,703

Something wrong, Sergeant?

16

00:

I didn't join the Russian Army to

dismantle it for the Americans, sir.

17

calm down.

43

00:
15:17,598 -- 00:15:18,849

We're going to die.

44

00:
15:18,933 -- 00:15:21,560

We're 15 km away. Under a mountain.

45

00:
15:21,936 -- 00:15:25,564

- I want my money.

- Be strong. You're an officer.

46

00:
15:25,940 -- 00:15:29,527

- I'm so afraid.

- No, no. it's time to be strong.

47

00:
15:29,610 -- 00:15:32,279

I don't think I am.

48

00:
15:33,155 -- 00:15:34,365

Pity.

50

00:
15:47,044 -- 00:15:49,088

(Beeping)

52

00:
17:17,134 -- 00:17:18,928

What happened?

53

00:
17:19,011 -- 00:17:22,932

I don't know, Dr Kelly.

Please come with me, ma'am.

(chattering)

55

00:
17:25,267 -- 00:17:28,604

(Man) I've got estimates on

cloud size comin' through on six.

56

00:
17:28,687 -- 00:17:32,441

- What have we got?

- N0RAD's got R4 over sector 9877.

57

00:
17:32,525 -- 00:17:35,611

it's been localised.

60 degrees longitude, 50 lat.

58

00:
17:35,694 -- 00:17:38,989

- What about NPIC?

- Blast 40 minutes ago in the Urals.

59

00:
17:39,073 -- 00:17:42,368

Two trains collided. one was

carrying warheads to cherbynsk.

60

00:
17:42,451 -- 00:17:44,495

Nice hair. Very au naturel.

61

00:
17:44,578 -- 00:17:46,872

Nuclear forces have gone to DEFC0N 3.

62

00:
17:48,916 -- 00:17:53,587

NMCC thinks Russia will use this to

veil troop movements into chechnya.

63

00:
17:53,671 -- 00:17:56,549

Not our problem.

Estimates from Livermore?

64

00:
17:56,632 -- 00:17:59,093

Five to seven hundred kilotons.

65

00:
17:59,343 -- 00:18:02,638

Mark Appleton's looking for you.

He's upstairs.

66

00:
18:02,721 -- 00:18:05,015

- All current data on my desk?

- Yes.

67

00:
18:05,099 -- 00:18:06,934

I'm gonna need a minute.

68

00:
18:07,017 -- 00:18:11,147

- Radiation pattern projections in?

- Yeah, but those aren't confirmed.

69

00:
18:11,230 -- 00:18:12,857

Confirm them.

70

00:
18:12,940 -- 00:18:16,026

(Man) Russia, what a f***ing mess.

I miss the cold War.

71

00:
18:16,110 -- 00:18:18,612

Get Essler down here now.

I need a translator.

72

00:
18:18,696 -- 00:18:21,157

Essler's gone. He quit to run JPL.

73

00:
18:21,240 -- 00:18:24,034

- Who did we appoint?

- My memo's on your desk.

74

00:
18:24,160 -- 00:18:27,371

- Who the hell's in charge there?

- Mark?

75

00:
18:27,496 -- 00:18:29,540

Mark? Excuse me.

76

00:
18:29,957 -- 00:18:34,420

Sorry. Forget chernobyl.

This is... This is huge.

77

00:
18:34,503 -- 00:18:37,715

Dr Julia Kelly, Acting chair,

Nuclear Smuggling Group.

78

00:
18:37,798 -- 00:18:41,469

- Terry Hamilton, Security Advisor.

- We met last year.

79

00:
18:41,552 -- 00:18:45,890

I'm briefing the President to explain

how, with our START team there,

80

00:
18:45,973 -- 00:18:48,142

an accident like this could happen.

81

00:
18:48,225 -- 00:18:50,269

It wasn't an accident, sir.

82

00:
18:50,644 -- 00:18:52,688

I'm sorry?

83

00:
18:52,772 -- 00:18:57,401

We believe that train was carrying

SS18s, which are one Point Safe.

84

00:
18:57,485 -- 00:19:00,654

- What's she saying?

- If you fire a bullet at the warhead

85

00:
19:00,738 -- 00:19:03,657

there's a million-to-one

chance of it going off.

86

00:
19:03,741 -- 00:19:05,910

it must be ignited

by its own trigger.

87

00:
19:05,993 -- 00:19:09,455

Would you hold this, please?

Here we have the satellite imagery.

88

00:
19:09,538 -- 00:19:12,833

This is the two trains approaching,

and here's the collision.

89

00:
19:12,917 -- 00:19:15,419

Now check out the field of regard.

90

00:
19:15,503 -- 00:19:19,507

These shots are at the same height

cos they occurred at the same time.

91

00:
19:19,590 -- 00:19:24,345

Look. The blast is two degrees higher

after the satellites passed over.

92

00:
19:24,428 -- 00:19:26,013

Time between shots?

93

00:
19:26,097 -- 00:19:29,475

Between the train wreck

and the detonation, 4 minutes.

94

00:
19:29,558 -- 00:19:34,063

Somebody set that nuclear weapon off.

This was a terrorist act.

95

00:
19:34,146 -- 00:19:36,565

Full NSC briefing at 9:00am.

96

00:
19:36,649 -- 00:19:40,486

The Russians' accident story

will stand for now. No press leaks.

97

00:
19:40,569 -- 00:19:43,072

Nobody shows up on Nightline.

Doctor...?

98

00:
19:43,155 -- 00:19:44,740

Kelly.

99

00:
19:44,824 -- 00:19:48,202

I'm putting your group on point

until I find a replacement.

100

00:
19:48,327 -- 00:19:50,204

Yes, sir.

101

00:
19:51,288 -- 00:19:54,917

Get me satellite overviews

and keep the updates coming.

102

00:
19:59,505 -- 00:20:03,676

OK, State, we're gonna need
