call me back some other time.

279

00:
31:35,493 -- 00:31:38,537

- 'How are you guys holdin' up?'

- The only virtue is,

280

00:
31:38,621 -- 00:31:40,706

people are forgetting chechnya.

281

00:
31:40,790 -- 00:31:44,460

Yeah. Listen, I've got the

troop manifest from that train.

282

00:
31:44,543 -- 00:31:48,089

Alek kodoroff got vaporised

out there, did he?

283

00:
31:48,214 -- 00:31:52,093

- 'Yeah. What a shame.'

- Yeah.

284

00:
31:52,176 -- 00:31:56,680

So how is it he's calling Laina

from a bird over southern Russian?

285

00:
31:56,764 -- 00:31:58,891

How's he doin' that?

286

00:
32:03,312 -- 00:32:06,232

'Are you still there?'

287

00:
32:06,315 -- 00:32:08,234

'You must be wrong

about that, Tom.

288

00:
32:08,317 -- 00:32:12,780

'0ur figures indicate the fallout

should have dissipated by then.

289

00:
32:12,863 -- 00:32:16,242

'Let me fax you what we've got.

Your number?'

290

00:
32:16,325 -- 00:32:19,203

Hold on. Fax number, please. Hang on.

291

00:
32:19,286 -- 00:32:22,164

All right, 0-0-1-7-0-3...

292

00:
32:22,248 -- 00:32:25,459

- ..5-1-1-6-8.

- Six-eight.

293

00:
32:25,543 -- 00:32:28,754

I'm going to hang up now. Bye.

294

00:
32:28,838 -- 00:32:31,048

Listen...

295

00:
32:35,010 -- 00:32:37,138

That scared him.

296

00:
32:40,933 -- 00:32:43,310

- Is this the fax?

- Yes, sir.

297

00:
32:48,482 -- 00:32:52,862

(Newscaster) 'Information on the

nuclear weapon incident in Russia

298

00:
32:52,945 -- 00:32:54,989

'is still sketchy.

299

00:
32:55,072 -- 00:32:58,826

'But we do have facts about

the magnitude of the disaster.

300

00:
32:58,909 -- 00:33:02,371

'Seismographs around the world

detected the blast,

301

00:
33:02,455 -- 00:33:06,167

'and the explosion was seen

as far away as Lithuania

302

00:
33:06,250 -- 00:33:08,210

'on the Baltic Sea.

303

00:
33:08,294 -- 00:33:10,546

'Projections indicate the fallout

304

00:
33:10,629 -- 00:33:13,924

'will affect all of Russia

and northern Europe.

305

00:
33:14,008 -- 00:33:16,510

'There's still no word on casualties.

306

00:
33:16,594 -- 00:33:21,182

'President clinton will issue

a statement on this tragedy...'

307

00:
33:21,265 -- 00:33:23,350

Vienna, 2:
00pm, Bacherplatz.

308

00:
33:23,434 -- 00:33:25,770

Why Vienna?

309

00:
33:25,853 -- 00:33:28,189

- kordech.

- Maybe.

310

00:
33:28,272 -- 00:33:31,442

kordech is a front for

the Russian Mafia in Vienna.

311

00:
33:31,525 -- 00:33:33,527

And it's a trucking company.

312

00:
33:33,611 -- 00:33:38,532

'Whether it was an accident or an

act of terrorism remains a question.'

313

00:
33:46,040 -- 00:33:49,418

I need N0RAD's sector 9877

intel from the Urals,

314

00:
33:49,502 -- 00:33:54,298

updated fallout patterns

and troop movements from NAT0 humint.

315

00:
33:54,381 -- 00:33:58,385

Honey-roasted. Think anybody'll

mind if I stole a couple of bags?

316

00:
33:58,469 -- 00:34:01,055

My old man will love

the Executive Seal.

317

00:
34:01,138 -- 00:34:03,099

Go ahead. knock yourself out.

318

00:
34:03,182 -- 00:34:06,811

Would you call Langley? We're waiting

for kodoroff's psych profile.

319

00:
34:06,894 -- 00:34:09,188

He's an a**hole.

I'll save you a trip.

320

00:
34:09,271 -- 00:34:11,857

Thanks. I'll go with

the official version.

321

00:
34:11,941 -- 00:34:14,360

OK. 0fficially, he's an a**hole.

322

00:
34:14,443 -- 00:34:17,238

He'll do anything for money,

which is good,

323

00:
34:17,321 -- 00:34:19,365

cos it makes him predictable.

324

00:
34:19,448 -- 00:34:22,034

I'd say he's been

anything but predictable.

325

00:
34:22,118 -- 00:34:26,038

He took an order for

an expensive, hard-to-find product,

326

00:
34:26,122 -- 00:34:30,751

and he intends to make good

on delivery - supply and demand.

327

00:
34:30,835 -- 00:34:35,089

Your area of expertise, colonel?

That's the word on the Hill.

328

00:
34:38,467 -- 00:34:40,636

You've been checkin' up on me.

329

00:
34:40,719 -- 00:34:43,931

I like to know who I'm working with.

330

00:
34:48,394 -- 00:34:50,729

I'd like to know something.

331

00:
34:52,022 -- 00:34:55,860

You moved from Lawrence Livermore

to the White House.

332

00:
34:55,943 -- 00:35:00,281

So, first you build the bombs

to blow up the entire world

333

00:
35:00,364 -- 00:35:03,033

and now you wanna save it.

334

00:
35:03,117 -- 00:35:05,202

Make up your mind, which is it?

335

00:
35:05,286 -- 00:35:09,457

Well, I believe this week

we're saving it.

336

00:
35:11,959 -- 00:35:16,088

- So, it's really that simple?

- it is to me, that simple.

337

00:
35:16,172 -- 00:35:19,800

When you've been the boss for more

than two weeks, you'll know that.

338

00:
35:19,884 -- 00:35:23,846

Three weeks.

You've done some checkin' yourself.

339

00:
35:26,348 -- 00:35:29,226

I like to know who I'm workin' with.

340

00:
35:29,852 -- 00:35:33,481

You can run your charts

and your theories all you want.

341

00:
35:33,564 -- 00:35:36,108

In the field, this is how it works.

342

00:
35:36,192 -- 00:35:38,027

The good guys, that's us,

343

00:
35:38,110 -- 00:35:40,905

chase the bad guys,

and they don't wear black hats.

344

00:
35:40,988 -- 00:35:42,907

They are, however, all alike.

345

00:
35:42,990 -- 00:35:47,328

They demand power and respect,

and they'll pay top dollar to get it.

346

00:
35:47,411 -- 00:35:50,164

And that is our

highly motivated buyer.

347

00:
35:50,247 -- 00:35:53,584

- What about other motivations?

- Not important to me.

348

00:
35:53,667 -- 00:35:58,422

Either way, there are people who

don't care about money or respect,

349

00:
35:58,506 -- 00:36:01,634

who believe killing

innocent people is justified.

350

00:
36:01,717 -- 00:36:06,055

For them it is about rage,

frustration, hatred.

351

00:
36:06,138 -- 00:36:08,432

They feel pain and want to share it.

352

00:
36:08,516 -- 00:36:11,769

That does me no good.

Let's deal with the facts at hand.

353

00:
36:11,852 -- 00:36:16,816

23 hours ago, General Aleksander

kodoroff stole ten nuclear warheads.

354

00:
36:16,899 -- 00:36:19,360

He's just a delivery boy.

355

00:
36:20,194 -- 00:36:24,865

I'm not afraid of the man who

wants ten nuclear weapons, colonel.

356

00:
36:24,949 -- 00:36:27,660

I'm terrified of the man

who only wants one.

357

00:
36:29,286 -- 00:36:32,456

(children chattering in Serbian)

358

00:
36:45,594 -- 00:36:48,472

(chattering in Serbian)

359

00:
37:25,259 -- 00:37:28,137

(Serbian) No, no, no. Listen, listen.

360

00:
37:29,305 -- 00:37:32,558

Music should be

like a language, child.

361

00:
37:33,809 -- 00:37:35,853

Listen.

362

00:
37:42,610 -- 00:37:44,445

Joy.

363

00:
37:50,868 -- 00:37:53,120

Sadness, you understand?

364

00:
38:08,928 -- 00:38:13,265

changing a single note can turn joy

to sorrow. Your turn.

365

00:
38:30,491 -- 00:38:32,535

(Phone rings)

366

00:
38:38,207 -- 00:38:39,667

Professor?

367

00:
38:41,252 -- 00:38:43,754

(Ringing continues)

368

00:
38:46,090 -- 00:38:49,176
