188

00:
25:41,722 -- 00:25:43,849

Minimum $200 million, cash.

189

00:
25:43,933 -- 00:25:46,602

$200 million

is a very profound statement.

190

00:
25:46,685 -- 00:25:49,897

I'm sorry, ma'am.

The detonation was a smoke screen.

191

00:
25:49,980 -- 00:25:53,359

This was a hijacking,

and whoever stole these things

192

00:
25:53,442 -- 00:25:55,694

got off the bus a long way back.

193

00:
25:55,778 -- 00:25:57,863

(Murmuring)

194

00:
25:59,073 -- 00:26:02,701

Well, we will certainly be

considering your theory.

195

00:
26:02,785 -- 00:26:04,829

Thank you very much.

196

00:
26:04,912 -- 00:26:07,414

Well, it's just an opinion.

197

00:
26:09,083 -- 00:26:12,878

Whoever has current data on the

blast, I need it on my desk ASAP.

198

00:
26:12,962 -- 00:26:15,005

(Woman) You got it!

199

00:
26:15,464 -- 00:26:19,593

ken, try to get Russian Missile

command on the phone, please.

200

00:
26:39,989 -- 00:26:42,658

(Speaking Russian)

201

00:
27:00,551 -- 00:27:01,552

(TV) 'Reports say...'

202

00:
27:03,679 -- 00:27:07,850

- Anything on DIA?

- We should have Russian intel soon.

203

00:
27:07,933 -- 00:27:11,061

I need the START report.

Not just the summaries.

204

00:
27:11,145 -- 00:27:14,231

- Not just the abstracts, all of it.

- I'm all over it.

205

00:
27:14,315 -- 00:27:18,235

- And where is my military liaison?

- Right here.

206

00:
27:18,736 -- 00:27:20,946

Lieutenant colonel Tom Devoe,

207

00:
27:21,030 -- 00:27:23,407

reporting as ordered, ma'am.

208

00:
27:24,867 -- 00:27:27,620

My enthusiasm sometimes

gets the best of me.

209

00:
27:27,703 -- 00:27:31,165

I hope that I didn't

offend you in there.

210

00:
27:31,248 -- 00:27:33,209

No, of course not.

211

00:
27:33,292 -- 00:27:35,961

- coffee?

- I'd love some.

212

00:
27:36,045 -- 00:27:37,713

0ver there.

213

00:
27:37,797 -- 00:27:40,591

(ken) Russian Missile command's

on line six.

214

00:
27:40,674 -- 00:27:44,512

I'd like to reiterate our commitment

to helping you find some answers.

215

00:
27:44,595 -- 00:27:46,680

Yes.

216

00:
27:46,764 -- 00:27:50,976

- No, I understand, General.

- I brought you some coffee.

217

00:
27:53,020 -- 00:27:55,773

Uh, that's right.

218

00:
27:55,856 -- 00:27:59,568

We need to know

exactly who was on that train.

219

00:
27:59,652 -- 00:28:04,615

Uh, no, I am the man in charge.

I report directly to the President.

220

00:
28:04,698 -- 00:28:07,910

What do you want me to say?

221

00:
28:11,372 -- 00:28:14,250

I don't see what has to do

with anything.

222

00:
28:14,333 -- 00:28:18,421

Yes, well... I see.

223

00:
28:18,504 -- 00:28:20,339

No, I understand.

224

00:
28:20,423 -- 00:28:22,800

I think... I mean

I know I have a couple.

225

00:
28:25,261 -- 00:28:28,848

All right. If you would

be able to get back to me

226

00:
28:28,931 -- 00:28:33,853

with the names of the men who were on

the train and the number of warheads,

227

00:
28:33,936 -- 00:28:36,647

- that would be wonderful.

- In my office.

228

00:
28:36,730 -- 00:28:39,358

And how long

do you think that will take?

229

00:
28:39,442 -- 00:28:41,569

Well, uh...

230

00:
28:43,404 -- 00:28:45,948

I'll be expecting your call.

231

00:
28:46,031 -- 00:28:48,075

Thank you.

232

00:
29:05,926 -- 00:29:08,179

(All talk at once)

233

00:
29:08,929 -- 00:29:10,848

(Kelly) We got the confirmation.

234

00:
29:10,931 -- 00:29:14,769

-There were 10 warheads on the train.

-Forty men on board.

235

00:
29:14,852 -- 00:29:18,147

- This is meaningless.

- it's in Russian.

236

00:
29:18,230 -- 00:29:22,151

(Russian) it's meaningless because

they haven't listed anybody's rank.

237

00:
29:22,234 -- 00:29:24,361

Where did you learn to speak Russian?

238

00:
29:24,445 -- 00:29:26,155

Princeton.

239

00:
29:26,238 -- 00:29:28,824

The blue-blooded backbone

of our country.

240

00:
29:28,908 -- 00:29:32,495

- My father's a mailman.

- Well, you'd never know.

241

00:
29:32,620 -- 00:29:35,539

"Ilin, kodoroff, kulik,

Levindovsky..."

242

00:
29:35,623 -- 00:29:40,044

- kodoroff? Aleksander kodoroff?

- Yeah. You know him?

243

00:
29:40,127 -- 00:29:42,505

Yeah, I know him. God damn it!

244

00:
29:42,588 -- 00:29:44,632

I don't know about these other guys,

245

00:
29:44,715 -- 00:29:48,886

but General kodoroff doesn't ride

around on a nuclear transport train.

246

00:
29:48,969 -- 00:29:50,846

Get me NMCC lntel, please.

247

00:
29:50,930 -- 00:29:54,850

- it's like Ivana Trump on a subway.

- can you get my files?

248

00:
29:55,142 -- 00:29:58,437

- Have that enhanced off the Urals.

- Yes, sir.

249

00:
29:58,521 -- 00:29:59,939

Sergeant.

250

00:
30:00,022 -- 00:30:02,691

kodoroff's under investigation

for corruption,

251

00:
30:02,775 -- 00:30:04,693

probably gonna be indicted.

252

00:
30:04,777 -- 00:30:07,321

Gave a speech nine days ago

in St Petersburg.

253

00:
30:07,404 -- 00:30:11,033

Mostly nationalistic bluster,

bemoaning the loss of empire

254

00:
30:11,117 -- 00:30:13,410

and unity of the Slavic peoples.

255

00:
30:13,494 -- 00:30:17,832

Family history, phone records,

bank statements.

256

00:
30:17,915 -- 00:30:22,795

Urinalysis from a Moscow

traffic stop last month - .367.

257

00:
30:22,878 -- 00:30:26,507

- I'm amazed he could turn the key.

- That's a few cocktails.

258

00:
30:26,590 -- 00:30:31,137

Saw his dentist Tuesday, dined with

some attractive people on Friday.

259

00:
30:31,220 -- 00:30:35,516

- Haven't been able to ID them yet.

- costello, you're slipping(!)

260

00:
30:35,599 -- 00:30:38,936

- Oh, I'm gettin' old, sir.

- You're not old.

261

00:
30:39,019 -- 00:30:41,230

General Garnett's old.

262

00:
30:41,313 -- 00:30:44,233

If you don't mind me askin',

is kodoroff involved?

263

00:
30:44,316 -- 00:30:47,945

- We don't know. He was on the train.

- You see, that's funny.

264

00:
30:48,028 -- 00:30:49,447

Why?

265

00:
30:49,530 -- 00:30:51,615

The General's got a Finnish mistress.

266

00:
30:51,699 -- 00:30:53,909

- Lives in Helsinki.

- Laina.

267

00:
30:53,993 -- 00:30:57,288

The guy calls her every day

like clockwork.

268

00:
30:57,371 -- 00:30:59,540

- So?

- Well, the thing is,

269

00:
30:59,623 -- 00:31:02,877

if kodoroff was on

that train and he's so dead,

270

00:
31:02,960 -- 00:31:08,340

who's calling Laina in Helsinki off

some satellite over southern Russia?

271

00:
31:09,592 -- 00:31:13,554

If that's a secure phone, I need it.

Excuse me, General.

272

00:
31:15,431 -- 00:31:18,350

If a top-ranking

Russian general is involved,

273

00:
31:18,434 -- 00:31:22,396

any intel we get from Moscow

is either compromised...

274

00:
31:22,480 -- 00:31:24,690

Palkawunic Vertikoff.

275

00:
31:24,774 -- 00:31:27,318

- ..or a flat-out lie.

- You're right.

276

00:
31:27,401 -- 00:31:29,361

Dimitri, Tom Devoe.

277

00:
31:29,445 -- 00:31:32,156

- 'What do you want?'

- Are you busy?

278

00:
31:32,239 -- 00:31:35,409

I'm with two women.
