We have a device that can allow us to send one human being back in time.

Thank you.

Proud Seabiscuit. He's high -strung like the true thoroughbred that he is.

Now, who's in for the Daily Double?

Excuse me.

Excuse me. Pardon me. Pardon me. Coming through.

Watch your step.

Dr. Ballard, always a pleasure. What can we do for you this evening?

Well, you know, I was just in my lab, and I'm kind of worried. Some of my rats

are missing, and I was wondering if anybody here knew anything about that.

hey! Look, there's a rat right there.

But these can't be my rats, because, well, I mean, my rats don't dress this

well, but it certainly looks like my rat.

Let's cut the crap, Ballard. What do you want?

Well, I was thinking maybe a 70 -30 split of the winnings. 70 -30?

Is that how they figure things at Caltech?

Well, you don't want me to take my rats and go home now, do you?

50 -50, and that's it, you understand?

Not a cent more.

I'll take over till I get back.

Okay.

A United States reconnaissance plane was shot down by Serbian rebels over

central Bosnia yesterday.

The fate of the two American pilots behind the reconnaissance craft is

No, no.

I've heard that about you.

I wonder what the planet are doing with us.

I wish I knew.

I'm sure they're still out there looking.

Yeah. Until I find her cold, dead bodies, I'll be looking.

Don't try to cheer me up anymore, okay, sir?

I have something special for you tonight Come

on

Four. Are you sure about that?

Shut up, Rodriguez.

Kirkland, Rodriguez.

I want you to exchange positions at this time.

Negative. That is a negative.

Do not move.

You're positioned the way they should be.

Kirkland is at a perfect position for his stun shot.

Any closer and his trajectory is going to be straight through the side of the

air. What are you doing, Norman?

This is my command.

I'm calling the shots here. You understand that?

How many real -life firefights you ever been in, Lieutenant?

Huh?

Look, okay, we don't know how many they got in there.

Kirkland's the better shot.

I want him in closest, okay?

No.

You give me that radio, Sergeant Moments.

Give me the radio, Sergeant.

Oh, sure.

Anything you want, Lieutenant.

She just got our friendlies good and dead.

Not that I particularly give a damn at this point.

Kirkland, Rodriguez, change positions now.

That's an order.

Okay.

Kirkland, we'll insert the stun round. Rodriguez, provide diversionary fire.

We will infiltrate from the front.

But no one, I repeat, no one fires until my command.

I'm not hiding!

Lieutenant Benson.

Can you hear me?

My shoulder.

It's my shoulder.

I'm Sergeant Mormon. I'm here to get you out of here.

Mr. Vice President.

Tell me you're bringing good news.

She's dead, sir.

They all are.

Should I call Dr.

Charney, sir?

No, no.

Just leave me, Jonathan.

I'll be okay. Just let me have a little time to myself.

And it is with great regret that I, as your president, express

our collective sadness continuing after the vice

president's funeral and internment at Arlington National Cemetery.

The president seems very upset.

Yeah, well, he's going to be even more upset when Congress investigates his

nominee. Berman's about as corrupt as John Gotti.

I would think it was more about McIntyre's untimely death.

He was terribly young to die of a heart attack.

Couldn't pay me to be the president or vice president. Way too much stress.

Please sit, people.

What you're about to see may shock you.

It's a tape from a covert monitoring system in the executive office building

D .C.

You will forget that this kind of surveillance even exists.

This footage was recorded five days ago on the night of Vice President

McIntyre's purported heart attack.

Oh, my God.

Well, that's news.

Any idea why he did it? It appears there was a young woman in the Vice

President's life.

Well, no, not that again.

No, not exactly that.

I refer to his daughter.

McIntyre didn't have a daughter.

Not a legitimate one.

He had a love child?

Yep. Good conservative Christian that he was.

Never acknowledged her.

Swept her under the rug.

She was totally unaware that her father was vice president.

Nobody knew, except a handful of McIntyres in her circle.

That's McIntyre's daughter, First Lieutenant Sally Benson, U .S. Army, co

of an OB -1 Mohawk reconnaissance aircraft.

Benson and her pilot, Captain Scott DeWitt, were shot down by a Serbian

-to -air missile in Bosnia last Thursday night.

They punched out safely, then were captured.

An Army Ranger unit was sent in to make the rescue, but they screwed it up. The

mission failed.

I suppose it's a little dumb of me to ask, but what has all this to do with

The NSA panel has approved a back step.

They want McIntyre and his daughter back again.

So that puts us in pre -jump mode, people.

Let's go.

In some ways, this will be one of the most difficult back steps you've ever

undertaken. Another day, another dollar.

We've got to place you in Bosnia so you can rendezvous with the Ranger rescue

team. And using intel we've only just now received, help them get Lieutenant

Benson out of there.

The difficult we do immediately, the impossible just takes a little longer.

Hey, Bosnia's no picnic ground, hotshot.

You're also going to have to convince a team of Rangers that you know more about

their job than they do.

I'll win them over, Ramsey. I'll just be as charming as you.

Our latest intel on what happened after Benson and DeWitt fell into enemy hands.

Memorize the terrain.

He'll be arriving in Bosnia less than 24 hours before the deaths occurred.

Excuse me, Frank.

I just wanted to let you know we're going 15 minutes.

Roaming the halls, giving pound -downs now?

Well, actually, I did want to give you your share of the winnings from our

little rat race concession.

Our gross is $1 ,400.

So what's the rush?

No rush.

Oh, I get it. You don't want to owe me any money in case I don't come back.

Is that it?

Yeah.

Hey, wait a second, rocket scientist. Your slide roll break or something?

What? Well, half of $1 ,400 is a hell of a lot more than $413 .06.

Well, I had expenses.

And hey, good luck on this one, Frank. I'll see you last week.

Everyone's a player.

Now, when you land, you won't have time to come back here first.

These papers will clear you with the rangers.

Ah, good. Thanks.

Good luck, buddy.

Mr. Parker.

The people who were all killed were professional soldiers in a very

situation.

Please, be careful.

Is that what I think it is?

What? The tear in your eye?

Jeff, be careful.

Okay.

Look, I'm going to be fine.

Really.

The train's leaving the station, Frank.

It's now or never.

All right Rodriguez, give me the position of the crash site.

Less than five kilometers.

We're humping over or around that hill, Lieutenant.

All right, what the hell was that?

Impossible, Sam. Would have dug wet.

Yeah, we're downed aircraft.

Could be one of ours.

Maybe we should check it out.

It's not a good idea.

We came here with a mission.

Hey, Sergeant, we're going to check out the source of that light you got me.

What do you see?

I don't know.

Looks like an astronaut escape pod.

This isn't normal.

It ain't Serbian, that's for sure.

You think it's Russian?

Put a sock on him, Sarge.

Nobody makes a move unless the lieutenant or I give the order.

Come on, Sarge, let me shoot this son of a bitch and let's get out of here.

Put a sock in that bug -eye.

All right.

42 degrees, 17 minutes north.

20 degrees, 35 minutes west.

What do you know, Bosnia, right where it should be.

Well, you finally got one right.

Yeah.

Wait a minute.

That weapon.

That's U .S. Army issue.

Let's move out.

Don't move a muscle.

Easy, I'm an American.

You'll be a dead American if you don't put your hands in the air. Roger, you

take his weapon.

I'm looking for Squad Alpha Omega.

Who are you, Falcon?

Parker, Frank D.

I'm with the NSA.

Agency number 923 -880 -305.

Hey, whatever.

What was that back there?

Armored landing vehicle?

Experimental one -man deployment vehicle. That's all I can tell you. The

classified. Be classified.

Look, we're wasting valuable time.

Have you goon lower his weapon and I can show you my credentials.

Would you call me?

May I?

Lieutenant, you might be a communist spy who won the Super Bowl.

Come on, give me something hard, like what's the Sixth Amendment, the capital

Idaho? Who replaces the president if he goes down in a plane with the vice

president and the speaker of the house?

You're Lieutenant Willis, recently graduated from OCS, first in your class.

Married your high school sweetheart.

Moeman, you're from Queens, New York.

Dropped out of high school your sophomore year.

Divorced, two kids, Dion and Deanna. Corporal Mick Kirkland, special ops

five confirmed kills.

Seven. I got screwed out of two.

Rodriguez, your most distinguishing feature is the tattoo of Casper the

your butt.

What's so all -fire special, Parker?

They send one man to help out a whole unit.

I have updated intel on this thing, but let's say we walk and talk, huh? My

arrival is going to attract unfriendlies just like it did you.

NSA?

Why would they send an NSA spook in here?

To help us with a routine rescue mission.

I got nothing.

I can't see anything.

I can't see anything either.

Rodriguez, we need you to flush him out of there.

Move, move, move. Go, go, go.

Okay. Okay, where is he? You got him?

There he is.

200 meters out at 2 o 'clock.

Got him.

Six, you cheat.

Move out. Let's go.

You count your weight.

I'll count mine.

You hanging in there, Beth?

Yeah.

Literally.

She could use some food.

What?

What kind of country has got to use women to fight for themselves?

God bless America.

Give me back my radio. I can call my people. No, no, no. We're on radio

until we get Benson and DeWitt in hand.

That's an order.

Down this way.

No, no. We got to be heading north.

How do you know?

Well, if right now those pilots are being held by civilian guards in a

directly north of here, if we don't get their ASAP, a crack unit of third

regulars is going to turn up and the whole thing is going to go to hell.

What's your freaking deal, man?

You got a crystal ball or something?

You can say that.

This guy's crazy. He's going to get us all killed. Hey, Sarge, you want to tell

Mr. Parker how we do things around here?

I'd be happy to.

Here's our modus operandi.

We don't care who you know or where you're from. This is our mission, our

Our ass is on the line. You screw us up or slow us down, we'll feed you to the

Serb. Clear?

I'm here for the same reason you are, Sergeant.

To get officers DeWitt and Benson home safely.

Look, the first thing we're going to do is get to that crash site and no more

talking about it.

Done.

Oh, by the way, President Pro Temp for the Senate takes a raise.

Get the President, Vice President, Speaker of the House off spamming at the

time.

We've got satellite confirmation the sphere landed in eastern Bosnia. No,

that'll be a fun retrieval. Why the hell did the sphere land there? Why hasn't

Frank called in?

Well, the worry is a trajectory problem. Maybe we just planted the sphere

somewhere way off course.

Which means Frank could be in big trouble. Or worse.

Get with your intelligence sources and find out if there's anything happening

Bosnia that might even remotely warrant a backstep. Let me know.

Hey, ladies.

Should be heading north on that road.

Parker, I think you were warned about questioning my command.

Read my lips. I know where Benson and DeWitt are, all right?

I don't see what's so damn important about these pilots anyway.

Classified. I had a bad premonition about this mission.

I say that these two pilots aren't so important, and we haul our asses out of

here ASAP.

What say you, Corporal?

Don't matter to me one way or another.

Well, then I say we pack it in.

Forget it, Rodriguez.

We're completing this mission.

Okay?

Let's move out.

Parker, where are you going?

You have your orders. I have mine. I'm heading north.

Kirkland, stop him.

Look, the Serbs grab him. They beat his ass. He gives away our position.

Jaguar! Hit it!

C -5! C -5!

You see it? It's hit!

Hands down!

Don't you have a bad feeling about this?

Stay cool, man. Stay down. Stay down.

Toss me your weapon.

No, no.

I got the shot.

Go ahead and take it, soldier.

Cover me.

What the hell are you talking about?

This mission is over. We're going back.

We're not quitting. We're not leaving anyone behind. You understand?

Look, I'm tired of your crap.

Well, I'm sick of yours. Hold this.

I'm taking command as of now.

I don't think so.

Sarge, are you crazy?

Yeah, I'm crazy.

It'll suit you.

It will.

I want to know why this mission is so important.

I want to know why they sent a spook like you down here to screw us up.

Put your gun down, I'll tell you. No, you tell me now.

I want your team to live.

Lower your weapon, Moment.

Then we can talk.

Clark, let's hear what he has to say.

Don't even think about it, Rambo.

Hand it over.

I said hand it over.

All right.

Now we're heading directly north, like I said.

All of us are.

What about Lieutenant Willis? Never left a man behind before. I'm not starting

now. Carry him with us.

I'm going to take point.

Kirkland, help Rodriguez.

Move.

with you people. Don't you get it?

Lieutenant Benson is a woman. Do you have any idea what the Serbs are gonna

to her?

This doesn't have jack to do with her being a woman.

This mission is more important than that.

You wanna know why this mission's so important?

I'm not moving till I do.

The reason for my being here is classified information, but I'm gonna

with you goons.

Lieutenant Benson is Vice President McIntyre's daughter.

He doesn't have a daughter. Yeah, he does, out of wedlock. Now, that strictly

classified information doesn't go beyond the five of us. You understand?

That's great.

What a suicide mission to save some spoiled brat who wanted to play army.

It's not the way it is.

McIntyre never acknowledged her. She made it on her own.

She's one of us.

Look, being the arrogant son of a bitch that I am, I could try and save her on

my own, but I'd probably just end up getting killed.

So I need your help.

Somehow you dudes got all screwed up out here. You're fighting each other

instead of the Serbs.

So you just want us to be one big happy family, is that it?

Yeah, that's right, Moomin.

Because out here in the field, you girls are the only family you got.

He's right about that.

I'll go with you.

I got an illegitimate daughter of my own.

I'm in.

Welcome to join us, Sarge.

What are you doing?

Hey! Get up!

Get up! All right.

Your hands up!

You women are big fighters. How's it at you?

Where are they going?

Just getting with my friends.

Special fun.

A commander on the sand side.

You're a very pretty girl.

Like girly magazines.

You like me?

You'll have to kill me first.

Anything on Parker yet?

I'm afraid not.

Our intel connections are still drawing a blank.

There are serious risks for Frank every time we backstep, Olga. You know that.

Of course. I just always expect a conundrum call from him. It seems rather

ominous that we haven't heard from him yet.

Well, I'd be willing to bet he hasn't called in because he's right out there

the thick of things having the time of his life.

Let me know if you hear anything.

Olga, you must have faith.

Frank, for all his eccentricities, is a truly remarkable man.

What do we got?

What do you mean, what do we got? You got eyes, don't you?

They're on guard.

They may know we're in the area.

Sir, you see any friendlies?

Negative.

Sir, if the Serbs know that we're in the area, the Benson and the Witt have been

moved.

Now, I say we gave a good effort, and it's time to take it home.

Rodriguez, what is it with you?

It's gonna sound crazy, sir. What?

Before we left, I saw a gypsy in Tesla.

It's not funny. She was a terrible card reader.

And she told me that I wasn't coming back.

None of us were.

She meant it.

I'm pretty psychic myself, Rodriguez, and you gotta trust me on this one.

You're gonna make this mission. We all are.

Because now we got each other's backs.

Yeah, one big happy family.

The question is, what's our next move?

You wanted to be in charge.

How do you see it?

Sir, I don't know what brought bad luck.

Kirkland Rodriguez, secure the area.

Lieutenant Benson?

Yeah. Who are you? My name's Parker. This is Sergeant Moment. We're getting

out of here.

It's not going to be easy. Why?

I can't carry two people. We're going to have to rig a litter.

Wait a second. I can't leave.

Not until they bring back Captain DeWitt.

Sorry, Lieutenant, but my orders are that you're our number one priority.

After we get you out, then we can think about coming back.

Oh, yeah? One for all for one, huh?

What was that? Just to get points for the White House?

Captain DeWitt isn't just my CO. He's a friend. There's no way I'm leaving this

area without him. I'm sorry, Lieutenant. I truly do have orders.

Semper Fi, huh?

What was that? Load of bull?

Where is DeWitt being held, Lieutenant?

He's at a SAM site not far from here. They took him there for interrogation.

many unfriendlies do you know?

Those units are small.

Six or seven men.

We're heading over there.

Let's go.

We needed a monster.

You coming?

What do you think, home fry?

Within the last ten minutes.

That's good news, Nate.

We've heard from Frank. His mission was to rescue two downed pilots in Bosnia.

Have you located them?

Bradley's trying to resolve that now.

Say it again. I'm going to put you on the screen.

Frank and that army rescue team are still in the hot zone in the Serbian

area of Bosnia. Now, they found one of the pilots, but the other one is still

out of our hands.

The ops guys over there are waiting for a call to go in with a chopper for an

extraction. But so far, that hasn't happened.

Aren't the U .N. forces in ongoing contact with Frank and the rescue team?

No. They only got one call because radio silence is being observed.

Nonetheless, so far, Frank is still out there, alive and kicking.

That is great news. Keep us up to the minute.

That is good news.

They told them to stay that way.

Better? Yeah, much.

I can walk on it.

Thanks.

All right, let's hit it.

Straight to the sound site, right?

Screwing around?

Absolutely. You know what?

There's just something I gotta ask you guys.

When did I become so special?

I mean, DeWitt outranks me. He should be the priority.

My job.

What?

Um...

Your father sent me, in a manner of speaking.

Would you give her a hand?

Whoa, whoa, wait a second.

You guys came a long way for the wrong Benson.

My father's dead. I was raised by my mom in D .C.

Look,

I hate to be the one to break this to you, but... Your father's alive.

Not only is he alive, but he's someone pretty important.

What?

Who is he?

Vice President McIntyre.

For a second, I thought he was serious.

Oh, hell, I didn't even vote for the guy.

Well, I guess my mom's got a lot of explaining to do, huh?

Yeah.

Well, now you got the big picture.

Wow, so suddenly I become the big priority because of my breeding?

I hate that kind of BS.

You're right, Parker.

She is one of us.

All right, Rodriguez.

Grab this guy's clothes. I got an idea.

Move out, people.

What is the schedule of the next U .N. flyover of this area?

I don't have a clue.

What's that?

What are you doing here?

For the order!

Fuck you!

How you doing, soldier?

Okay, they got Benson, sir.

I know. We got her.

What's the nasty scratch you got there?

All right, easy.

Hey, Scott.

You ready to go home?

Hell yeah.

This is Alpha Omega. We've got your laundry. Both items over.

Burn the hole!

The hell

was that?

Scratch one SAM site.

That wasn't our mission, Sergeant. That was above and beyond.

Refuge hopper coming in.

We'll begin on the White House lawn in a couple of moments, but I wanted to

offer you all my private thanks.

Thank you, sir.

Lieutenant Benson?

Yes, sir.

We'll excuse ourselves if you don't mind, Mr. Vice President.

Not necessary, Mr. Parker.

I'm through hiding.

I understand you know now the nature of our relationship, why I was so concerned

for your safety.

Yes, sir.

Please relax, Lieutenant.

Sally, I owe you... Well, the word apology

doesn't come close to covering it.

But I'm so sorry.

I've spoken to your mother.

I've told my wife, and I'm willing now to tell the whole world.

I hope that somehow we can all become...

Kind of family I Appreciate the thought sir,

but I already have a family

Best

family anyone could ask for sir

my fellow soldiers We take care of each other sir

Permission to be excused, sir.

Permission granted.

Captain, carry on.

Bud Smith!

Ceremony. Well, the public one went beautifully.

Yeah, you know, on TV it did kind of look like Lieutenant Benson was less

warm to her dad.

Well, sometimes family isn't what you're born with, it's the one you make.

Oh? Yeah, I mean, look at this place. We got a family here. Tom is just his dad.

Dr. Medner is the wise old grandfather.

And I suppose Dr. Ballard is the eccentric uncle?

The king of you.

And Donovan's my bro.

Word. How about Randy?

Oh, he's the ass who lives down the block. You know, the Eddie Haskell who

up with lies, teeth, wheels on people.

But I guess he's part of the family, too. And where do I fit into this happy

family, Mr. Parker?

Yeah, where does she fit in?

Well, you're like the girl next door. You know, the pretty one that I can

never... I mean, that you can never get anywhere with.

Well, you might be right about that. But I really am glad you're back here to

keep trying, Mr. Parker.

Moo.
