1
00:01:37,375 --> 00:01:39,666
Let us know
when you're at the ops building. Over.
2
00:01:50,458 --> 00:01:52,333
Six more months of your bullshit.
3
00:02:05,250 --> 00:02:08,125
I'm not...
I'm not trying to start problems with you.
4
00:02:08,208 --> 00:02:09,416
I'm just saying.
5
00:02:10,208 --> 00:02:11,250
No, I...
6
00:02:14,125 --> 00:02:17,125
All you had to do was wait six months,
and I would've been there to help.
7
00:02:24,666 --> 00:02:25,875
I got... I gotta go.
8
00:02:25,958 --> 00:02:28,375
But, listen, tomorrow
we can... we can figure this out.
9
00:02:28,458 --> 00:02:30,416
We can handle this whole situa...
10
00:02:31,666 --> 00:02:32,666
Hello?
11
00:02:33,458 --> 00:02:34,458
Hello?
12
00:02:46,416 --> 00:02:47,750
Just coming on the shift?
13
00:02:49,833 --> 00:02:52,583
-Sergeant, you get my email?
-No, sir.
14
00:02:53,375 --> 00:02:55,708
Well, there's an update from the top
15
00:02:56,708 --> 00:02:57,916
for today
16
00:02:59,500 --> 00:03:01,166
of the utmost importance.
17
00:03:03,291 --> 00:03:04,291
That's an order.
18
00:03:05,291 --> 00:03:07,167
-All right, sir.
-Mm-hmm.
19
00:03:07,250 --> 00:03:08,958
Think you'll keep making that joke?
20
00:03:09,041 --> 00:03:11,083
If you keep smiling, I'll keep making it.
21
00:03:12,750 --> 00:03:13,875
I hope not.
22
00:03:23,083 --> 00:03:24,416
How'd that go?
23
00:03:25,666 --> 00:03:27,083
Still working on it.
24
00:03:27,916 --> 00:03:31,333
But we should have
some movement on it today, hopefully.
25
00:03:32,791 --> 00:03:35,458
-The regs say no food or drink.
-All right, man.
26
00:03:35,541 --> 00:03:36,958
If you want one, just ask.
27
00:03:45,125 --> 00:03:47,375
Break's every four hours.
Next time, you can wait.
28
00:03:47,458 --> 00:03:51,250
-What's up your ass, man?
-And clean up your workstation.
29
00:03:52,208 --> 00:03:54,416
It's covered in grease and chips and shit.
30
00:03:55,666 --> 00:03:56,666
Yes, sir.
31
00:04:07,291 --> 00:04:09,333
Look at the dinosaur coming in the way.
32
00:04:09,833 --> 00:04:11,166
Wow. Aw.
33
00:04:13,083 --> 00:04:15,958
-Guys, guys, it's 3:30 in the morning.
-I'm sorry.
34
00:04:16,750 --> 00:04:17,833
-Hi.
-Hi.
35
00:04:17,916 --> 00:04:19,708
How you feeling, conductor?
36
00:04:20,791 --> 00:04:22,583
-Mmm.
-How's he doing?
37
00:04:22,666 --> 00:04:25,250
Fever's gone up to 102.
38
00:04:25,333 --> 00:04:26,625
Oh gosh.
39
00:04:26,708 --> 00:04:29,417
-Come on. Let's get some shut-eye.
-Go to Daddy.
40
00:04:29,500 --> 00:04:31,083
-Come on.
-I love you.
41
00:04:31,166 --> 00:04:32,250
-Okay.
-I love you.
42
00:04:32,333 --> 00:04:34,333
I love you. Mommy's got her phone.
43
00:04:34,916 --> 00:04:35,792
What?
44
00:04:35,875 --> 00:04:38,042
-I can have him?
-Mm-hmm.
45
00:04:38,125 --> 00:04:39,583
-He's with me today?
-Mm-hmm.
46
00:04:39,666 --> 00:04:40,916
Thank you.
47
00:04:42,916 --> 00:04:44,125
-I love you.
-I love you too.
48
00:04:44,208 --> 00:04:45,417
I love you.
49
00:04:45,500 --> 00:04:48,917
-You wearing that to the White House?
-Yeah. It's, uh, Casual Friday today.
50
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:50,583
-Thought so.
-Bye.
51
00:05:18,208 --> 00:05:19,208
Babe...
52
00:05:21,666 --> 00:05:22,750
I love you.
53
00:05:44,875 --> 00:05:46,291
-Good morning, ma'am.
-Morning.
54
00:05:46,791 --> 00:05:48,875
How are you, sir?
Can I see your badge, please?
55
00:05:50,416 --> 00:05:51,625
Thank you very much.
56
00:05:52,375 --> 00:05:53,458
Have a good shift.
57
00:05:59,083 --> 00:06:00,083
Keys.
58
00:06:00,666 --> 00:06:02,166
-Thank you, ma'am.
-Yeah.
59
00:06:21,208 --> 00:06:22,875
-Morning.
-Morning.
60
00:06:33,708 --> 00:06:36,125
-Here you go, sir. Thank you.
-Thank you, sir.
61
00:06:36,208 --> 00:06:37,292
-Morning, Captain.
-Morning.
62
00:06:37,375 --> 00:06:39,000
Um, egg-white omelet, please.
63
00:06:39,791 --> 00:06:41,166
-Usual?
-Yeah, thanks.
64
00:06:42,375 --> 00:06:45,542
-So when did you start?
-Last week. How did you...
65
00:06:45,625 --> 00:06:49,500
Egg sandwich or oatmeal.
Anything else holds up the line. Thanks.
66
00:07:14,416 --> 00:07:15,583
-Morning.
-Good morning.
67
00:07:17,916 --> 00:07:19,666
-How's it going, man?
-Morning.
68
00:07:22,875 --> 00:07:24,375
-Good morning.
-Morning.
69
00:07:32,041 --> 00:07:33,500
-Morning.
-Good morning.
70
00:07:34,083 --> 00:07:36,500
-Quiet night.
-For you, maybe.
71
00:07:36,583 --> 00:07:39,292
-You're kidding. Little guy again?
-He'll be fine.
72
00:07:39,375 --> 00:07:41,708
-PLA exercise in an hour.
-Really?
73
00:07:41,791 --> 00:07:44,250
I thought they'd call it off
and try and lower the temperature.
74
00:07:44,333 --> 00:07:46,708
I guess they like it hot.
75
00:07:48,208 --> 00:07:51,583
-Right, anything from Pyongyang?
-Not since the last test.
76
00:07:52,208 --> 00:07:54,917
Saber-rattling or silence.
I'm not sure which worries me more.
77
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:56,208
Well, add to it.
78
00:07:56,291 --> 00:07:59,458
NSA is itchy about an uptick in chatter
between Tehran and their proxies.
79
00:07:59,541 --> 00:08:03,708
-They want it flagged in the Morning Book.
-Consider their asses covered.
80
00:08:04,541 --> 00:08:05,583
What's that?
81
00:08:05,666 --> 00:08:08,333
Butte County. Over 100,000 homes at risk.
82
00:08:08,416 --> 00:08:09,750
That is not the feed.
83
00:08:09,833 --> 00:08:12,125
Same monitor was acting up yesterday.
We called systems.
84
00:08:12,208 --> 00:08:13,708
-Great. Bye.
-See you, Olivia.
85
00:08:13,791 --> 00:08:15,208
Hope the boy feels better.
86
00:08:15,291 --> 00:08:16,375
Sleep well.
87
00:08:17,208 --> 00:08:18,125
Oh!
88
00:08:18,208 --> 00:08:19,208
All right. Cheers.
89
00:08:19,291 --> 00:08:20,958
Cheers. Thank you.
90
00:08:23,916 --> 00:08:26,083
-Petty Officer Davis.
-Morning, ma'am.
91
00:08:26,166 --> 00:08:27,917
-Status update?
-On?
92
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:29,833
Operation Don't Fuck This Up.
93
00:08:29,916 --> 00:08:32,417
I'm picking up the ring tonight.
94
00:08:32,500 --> 00:08:34,958
Bravo Zulu, sailor.
That took you long enough.
95
00:08:36,458 --> 00:08:38,375
-Right, morning, everyone.
-Morning.
96
00:08:38,458 --> 00:08:40,625
Book push is two hours. Let's get to it.
97
00:08:40,708 --> 00:08:42,416
-You got it.
-You got it.
98
00:09:02,916 --> 00:09:03,916
Rogers.
99
00:09:04,458 --> 00:09:09,375
No. He says the prenup is ironclad.
Those are the words he used.
100
00:09:10,291 --> 00:09:12,917
Well, I don't have time.
I don't have time to find another lawyer.
101
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:14,916
Not if I wanna keep my job.
102
00:09:15,833 --> 00:09:18,625
Uh, I have to go. Goodbye. Thank you.
103
00:09:29,333 --> 00:09:32,958
At 0930, the president visits
a WNBA clinic for kids.
104
00:09:33,041 --> 00:09:35,250
Then we have the signing
of the Defense Omnibus bill
105
00:09:35,333 --> 00:09:36,875
with Hill leaders in the Roosevelt Room.
106
00:09:36,958 --> 00:09:40,958
We are pool for that.
Then three hours of executive time.
107
00:09:42,125 --> 00:09:42,875
Uh...
108
00:09:42,958 --> 00:09:46,917
...and the new Irish ambassador
is expected to stop by around 1600,
109
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:48,875
so there may be an Oval spray.
110
00:09:48,958 --> 00:09:51,917
-And after that, it is a full lid.
-Thanks, Abby.
111
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:53,083
{\an8}Courtney's source at the UN
112
00:09:53,166 --> 00:09:55,750
{\an8}says the White House may push
for more sanctions on Moscow.
113
00:09:55,833 --> 00:09:58,083
{\an8}I haven't heard that yet,
114
00:09:58,166 --> 00:10:00,916
but, um, I will ask around.
115
00:10:14,250 --> 00:10:15,917
Uh, we got a quick alert, sir.
116
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:17,417
-Quick alert.
-Alert.
117
00:10:17,500 --> 00:10:19,250
-From where?
-Pacific.
118
00:10:20,958 --> 00:10:22,750
SBX1 detects a ballistic launch.
119
00:10:22,833 --> 00:10:24,792
Confirm track. Yes, sir, we're seeing it.
120
00:10:24,875 --> 00:10:26,542
-Track on scope.
-Acknowledged.
121
00:10:26,625 --> 00:10:30,000
Vector 42.710, 137.14.
122
00:10:30,083 --> 00:10:35,167
Launch azimuth, 9.25 degrees.
Elevation angle, 66.79 degrees.
123
00:10:35,250 --> 00:10:37,083
Stand by for possible intercept.
124
00:10:37,166 --> 00:10:38,250
Copy that.
125
00:10:38,791 --> 00:10:41,250
-Right, log the time.
-Time is 0933.
126
00:10:41,333 --> 00:10:43,417
Initiate a national security
conference call.
127
00:10:43,500 --> 00:10:44,458
Copy.
128
00:10:44,541 --> 00:10:46,667
Patching in, and I am live.
129
00:10:46,750 --> 00:10:47,958
What's going on?
130
00:10:48,041 --> 00:10:50,208
STRATCOM's tracking a launch
over the Pacific.
131
00:10:51,333 --> 00:10:52,583
Second time since Christmas.
132
00:10:52,666 --> 00:10:54,458
-Uh, third.
-Right.
133
00:10:56,583 --> 00:10:58,083
Quarterly reviews. I was drowning.
134
00:10:58,166 --> 00:11:01,000
So give me a shout out
if the world's going to end.
135
00:11:01,083 --> 00:11:04,041
-Yep.
-Yes, sir, Mr. Chairman. Adding you now.
136
00:11:11,916 --> 00:11:12,916
Point of origin?
137
00:11:15,541 --> 00:11:17,208
Lieutenant, point of origin?
138
00:11:17,291 --> 00:11:19,208
STRATCOM says indeterminate.
139
00:11:19,291 --> 00:11:22,083
DSP satellites missed the launch.
Floating rig picked it up.
140
00:11:22,791 --> 00:11:24,000
DSP missed the launch?
141
00:11:24,083 --> 00:11:26,750
Doesn't matter who launched it.
Just that we knock it down.
142
00:11:26,833 --> 00:11:29,458
Doesn't look like we'll have to.
TPY-2 Japan reports
143
00:11:29,541 --> 00:11:32,042
flight vector is consistent
with previous DPRK tests.
144
00:11:32,125 --> 00:11:34,375
Hmm. Another yo-yo.
145
00:11:35,291 --> 00:11:37,667
Winslow's crew was on
when the last one popped up.
146
00:11:37,750 --> 00:11:40,125
Said they were filling out paperwork
for a week.
147
00:11:41,875 --> 00:11:43,916
Uh, Mrs. Holland? This is the whizzer.
148
00:11:45,083 --> 00:11:48,042
Sorry, ma'am. Chief Petty Officer Davis,
White House Situation Room.
149
00:11:48,125 --> 00:11:49,500
Is your husband available?
150
00:11:52,916 --> 00:11:55,083
{\an8}-Did you see that ball game last night?
-Yes, sir.
151
00:11:55,166 --> 00:11:58,333
{\an8}-Okay. Yes. Thank you, ma'am.
-You believe that Lindor?
152
00:11:58,916 --> 00:11:59,917
Impressive.
153
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:03,042
Apparently, the national security advisor
took a healthy hit of Propofol.
154
00:12:03,125 --> 00:12:04,917
-Oh. Lucky him.
-Colonoscopy.
155
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:06,333
-Call the deputy.
-Morning.
156
00:12:06,416 --> 00:12:09,750
-Pleasure to see you. You ready?
-Where the hell's Holland?
157
00:12:10,583 --> 00:12:11,875
Dr. Holland's indisposed, sir,
158
00:12:11,958 --> 00:12:15,708
but we've got Deputy National Security
Advisor Baerington with us.
159
00:12:15,791 --> 00:12:18,083
-He'll be with you shortly.
-It'll be over by then.
160
00:12:18,166 --> 00:12:20,375
-I'm gonna start.
-Go ahead, Tony.
161
00:12:20,458 --> 00:12:24,875
{\an8}Approximately three minutes ago,
we detected an ICBM over the Pacific.
162
00:12:24,958 --> 00:12:29,000
{\an8}At this time, we haven't determined
if the launch was land or sea-based,
163
00:12:29,500 --> 00:12:33,000
but the object's trajectory
is consistent with previous tests,
164
00:12:33,083 --> 00:12:36,666
and we expect splashdown
somewhere in the Sea of Japan.
165
00:12:48,041 --> 00:12:50,000
-Greely Ops Center.
-Greely Ops Center.
166
00:12:50,083 --> 00:12:51,417
Stand by. We're confirming.
167
00:12:51,500 --> 00:12:53,208
-Lieutenant Collins.
-Yes.
168
00:12:54,083 --> 00:12:55,083
Greely Ops Center.
169
00:12:55,166 --> 00:12:56,625
Where are we starting out now?
170
00:12:56,708 --> 00:12:59,166
-Sensor operator.
-Sergeant Diaz here.
171
00:13:01,416 --> 00:13:04,375
-We're connected to STRATCOM?
-Yeah, looks like another test.
172
00:13:04,458 --> 00:13:06,541
Greely Ops Center. Sergeant...
173
00:13:07,791 --> 00:13:09,041
What is it, Sergeant?
174
00:13:09,541 --> 00:13:12,291
Uh, clear radar acquired our object, sir.
175
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:14,792
Wait. And?
176
00:13:14,875 --> 00:13:18,000
Uh, rate of ascent slowing.
Inclination is flattening.
177
00:13:18,083 --> 00:13:19,333
Velocity?
178
00:13:19,416 --> 00:13:22,500
It's steady, sir.
Six kilometers per second.
179
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,000
Wait. Is Cheyenne Mountain seeing this?
180
00:13:26,791 --> 00:13:29,292
Are you kidding?
This guy's big break. He's out for a walk?
181
00:13:29,375 --> 00:13:31,250
-A block away.
-Not good enough.
182
00:13:31,333 --> 00:13:33,167
Guys, let's keep working
the phones, everyone.
183
00:13:33,250 --> 00:13:34,375
If it is another test,
184
00:13:34,458 --> 00:13:37,458
I want a note within the hour
summarizing regional reaction.
185
00:13:37,541 --> 00:13:38,375
Aye, Captain.
186
00:13:38,458 --> 00:13:40,166
-You better get back on.
-Yep.
187
00:13:40,875 --> 00:13:43,000
Sorry about that. Seems we have an update.
188
00:13:44,458 --> 00:13:46,666
{\an8}Current velocity indicates
189
00:13:47,166 --> 00:13:49,791
{\an8}that the object will go suborbital.
190
00:13:51,916 --> 00:13:53,625
{\an8}Current flight trajectory is consistent
191
00:13:53,708 --> 00:13:56,625
{\an8}with impact somewhere
in the continental United States.
192
00:13:56,708 --> 00:13:58,083
Holy shit.
193
00:14:00,041 --> 00:14:02,583
What's your level of confidence
on that, Tony?
194
00:14:03,875 --> 00:14:07,958
Not an error. We're tracking it
on multiple radar systems now.
195
00:14:08,625 --> 00:14:12,833
I'm told... Hi, Jerry... we have
dual phenomenology on the track.
196
00:14:13,333 --> 00:14:15,166
Nineteen minutes to impact.
197
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:21,791
Ma'am, I... I don't understand.
198
00:14:23,708 --> 00:14:25,666
Add SECDEF and POTUS to the call.
199
00:14:26,291 --> 00:14:27,833
Now, Davis.
200
00:14:28,416 --> 00:14:30,000
-Were you listening to that?
-I was.
201
00:14:30,083 --> 00:14:31,708
-Yeah?
-Yeah. Get to it.
202
00:14:34,875 --> 00:14:36,333
Check the shot doctrine.
203
00:14:36,416 --> 00:14:37,833
State Department, yeah.
204
00:14:37,916 --> 00:14:39,125
Repeat that to me.
205
00:14:39,666 --> 00:14:41,500
-Authenticate.
-Uh...
206
00:14:42,666 --> 00:14:43,791
Uh...
207
00:14:45,125 --> 00:14:46,083
-Uh...
-Here. Here.
208
00:14:46,166 --> 00:14:49,917
Oscar, Foxtrot, four, niner, one, six.
209
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,583
Sergeant, you're doing fine.
We've trained for this a million times.
210
00:14:52,666 --> 00:14:53,708
You're good.
211
00:14:53,791 --> 00:14:57,083
Oscar, Foxtrot, four, nine, one, six.
Order is authentic.
212
00:14:59,541 --> 00:15:00,833
I'm sorry, say again.
213
00:15:07,708 --> 00:15:10,375
{\an8}We have weapons-release authority
to launch our GBIs.
214
00:15:15,666 --> 00:15:17,250
Confirm DEFCON 2.
215
00:15:17,833 --> 00:15:18,875
Holy shit.
216
00:15:20,500 --> 00:15:22,958
-Down to two.
-Currently, we are at DEFCON 2.
217
00:15:24,041 --> 00:15:27,417
-Are you looking at this?
-DEFCON 2. I repeat, DEFCON 2.
218
00:15:27,500 --> 00:15:29,833
-Have we seen DEFCON 2 before?
-No.
219
00:15:29,916 --> 00:15:33,333
Hey, I know this isn't my business,
but it seems really serious.
220
00:15:33,416 --> 00:15:35,125
I'm sorry.
I can't give you any information.
221
00:15:35,208 --> 00:15:39,500
Everyone, relax, okay? A rounding error.
222
00:15:39,583 --> 00:15:42,000
This is still
a commercial satellite launch.
223
00:15:42,083 --> 00:15:45,833
Some billionaire forgot to file
the right paperwork, send his email.
224
00:15:45,916 --> 00:15:46,750
Okay, focus.
225
00:15:46,833 --> 00:15:49,333
POTUS is on campus.
Mr. Watts has been notified.
226
00:15:49,416 --> 00:15:50,958
-Adding SECDEF now.
-Great.
227
00:15:51,041 --> 00:15:53,125
SIGINT indicates Moscow
is aware of the launch.
228
00:15:53,208 --> 00:15:57,417
Atypical DPRK activity along the DMZ
could be an unannounced rotation,
229
00:15:57,500 --> 00:15:58,750
but they're not picking up.
230
00:15:58,833 --> 00:16:00,250
Could this be the PLA exercise?
231
00:16:00,333 --> 00:16:02,917
Maybe Davis staged it
so he could put off proposing?
232
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,958
-Hey, not now.
-Exercise was surface warfare only.
233
00:16:06,041 --> 00:16:06,875
No SSBNs.
234
00:16:06,958 --> 00:16:10,417
USS Ford reports multiple J-15s
now launching from the Fujian.
235
00:16:10,500 --> 00:16:13,166
-We expect that?
-We ever know what the Chinese are doing?
236
00:16:14,208 --> 00:16:15,208
Huh?
237
00:16:15,541 --> 00:16:17,833
I mean, a car just backfired.
People are spooked.
238
00:16:18,333 --> 00:16:20,000
I'd be more worried if they weren't.
239
00:16:20,666 --> 00:16:21,750
Okay, what else?
240
00:16:22,250 --> 00:16:24,792
Exercise could've been cover
for a preemptive strike.
241
00:16:24,875 --> 00:16:26,333
By sending one warhead at us?
242
00:16:26,416 --> 00:16:29,958
-That's like suicide by nuclear cop.
-All right, that's enough. That's enough.
243
00:16:30,041 --> 00:16:32,583
-Keep verifying.
-Our job is not to solve the puzzle.
244
00:16:32,666 --> 00:16:35,208
It is to find the pieces,
send it up the chain, okay?
245
00:16:35,291 --> 00:16:37,792
Principals need hard facts,
not speculation.
246
00:16:37,875 --> 00:16:39,458
You find those, you raise your hand.
247
00:16:39,541 --> 00:16:40,792
-Speak up.
-Yes, sir.
248
00:16:40,875 --> 00:16:42,416
-Yes, sir.
-We got this.
249
00:16:43,041 --> 00:16:44,458
Signature analysis.
250
00:16:46,583 --> 00:16:48,166
Check out the exhaust plume.
251
00:16:50,250 --> 00:16:53,500
-It's not good, sir.
-We've run this drill a thousand times.
252
00:16:53,583 --> 00:16:56,416
-You wanna get it up?
-Let's get STRATCOM up on the wall.
253
00:17:00,083 --> 00:17:02,875
-Um... not sure.
-I know.
254
00:17:02,958 --> 00:17:04,916
Sixteen minutes to impact.
255
00:17:06,791 --> 00:17:09,042
-Okay. All right, everybody.
-Set an alarm.
256
00:17:09,125 --> 00:17:11,041
Let's keep dialing, then.
257
00:17:12,500 --> 00:17:14,375
Russia and China's lines are busy.
258
00:17:14,458 --> 00:17:16,292
-Embassies?
-Nothing but tone.
259
00:17:16,375 --> 00:17:18,125
-Right. You tried UN missions?
-Course.
260
00:17:18,208 --> 00:17:20,917
Yeah, the whole world's
calling each other at the same time.
261
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,666
-Keep dialing. Just try it.
-Yes, ma'am.
262
00:17:24,500 --> 00:17:26,583
Shelter in place.
263
00:17:27,333 --> 00:17:31,541
Shelter in place.
264
00:17:33,125 --> 00:17:34,583
Shelter in place.
265
00:17:35,416 --> 00:17:37,208
Shelter in place.
266
00:17:37,291 --> 00:17:39,708
Confirming. Clamshell's open.
267
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,041
Showing launch status green.
268
00:17:43,916 --> 00:17:46,833
Showing launch status green.
269
00:17:52,125 --> 00:17:55,083
Do we have a COG responsibility here?
270
00:17:55,791 --> 00:17:58,208
My understanding was
we initiate on launch.
271
00:17:58,291 --> 00:18:01,083
Get people moving.
Can we get a legal opinion on that?
272
00:18:01,166 --> 00:18:02,833
I'm not sure that's right, Reid.
273
00:18:02,916 --> 00:18:05,625
In fact, I'm damn near certain
the president has COG.
274
00:18:05,708 --> 00:18:07,833
Well, I'm issuing the order.
275
00:18:08,333 --> 00:18:12,125
Plenty of time to sort it later,
and if you're gonna start moving people,
276
00:18:12,208 --> 00:18:14,417
we don't wanna be caught
with our pants down.
277
00:18:14,500 --> 00:18:17,042
I have an updated impact estimate.
278
00:18:17,125 --> 00:18:18,583
Go ahead, Tony.
279
00:18:19,750 --> 00:18:22,333
Low probability. Louisville, St. Louis.
280
00:18:22,916 --> 00:18:24,833
Medium. Chicago, Indianapolis.
281
00:18:25,708 --> 00:18:27,833
High. Cleveland, Columbus.
282
00:18:27,916 --> 00:18:31,125
That's primary, of course.
Still assessing the prevailing winds.
283
00:18:31,208 --> 00:18:32,791
Jesus Christ.
284
00:18:33,375 --> 00:18:35,125
-No fucking way.
-Can I get my phone?
285
00:18:35,208 --> 00:18:36,917
No, we have to stay here.
286
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,000
Walker, is this real?
287
00:18:39,500 --> 00:18:40,750
This is in from STRATCOM.
288
00:18:40,833 --> 00:18:42,292
Did you say Chicago?
289
00:18:42,375 --> 00:18:44,417
Uh, yes. In the medium bucket.
290
00:18:44,500 --> 00:18:47,500
Yes. Yes, this is the White House
Situation Room. Hold, please.
291
00:18:47,583 --> 00:18:49,458
I need a Mandarin translator.
292
00:18:49,541 --> 00:18:50,792
-Get him un-busy.
-State.
293
00:18:50,875 --> 00:18:54,917
-Yeah. My hands are a little full here.
-I have the vice premier of China on hold.
294
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,583
-Tice.
-Good shit. Need you on two. Mandarin.
295
00:18:57,666 --> 00:18:59,833
We have a probability of impact happening.
296
00:19:01,958 --> 00:19:03,292
White House Situation Room.
297
00:19:03,375 --> 00:19:05,958
We have Louisville, St. Louis
also possible targets.
298
00:19:12,250 --> 00:19:15,375
Hey, we're, uh, ordering Sweetgreen today.
You want?
299
00:19:15,458 --> 00:19:18,541
-Nah, think I'm gonna go out.
-Okay.
300
00:19:24,666 --> 00:19:25,666
Oh.
301
00:19:27,833 --> 00:19:31,708
Hey, Izzy, did you hear anything
about a drill today?
302
00:19:32,208 --> 00:19:33,541
Not that I know of.
303
00:19:36,083 --> 00:19:38,166
Shelter in place.
304
00:19:39,416 --> 00:19:41,041
Shelter in place.
305
00:19:42,250 --> 00:19:43,958
Shelter in place.
306
00:19:45,375 --> 00:19:47,208
Shelter in place.
307
00:19:48,166 --> 00:19:50,583
Sir, the missile field is clear.
308
00:19:50,666 --> 00:19:51,500
Copy.
309
00:19:51,583 --> 00:19:54,541
Target is coming into
the intercept window in three,
310
00:19:55,208 --> 00:19:57,250
two, one.
311
00:19:57,916 --> 00:19:59,791
-Activate launch.
-Launch activated.
312
00:20:18,666 --> 00:20:20,875
GBI2 and GBI4 are airborne.
313
00:20:20,958 --> 00:20:24,750
EKV release in 3 minutes 17 seconds.
Stand by for course adjustment.
314
00:20:24,833 --> 00:20:28,208
Is there anyone that can
do better than shot-in-the-dark guesses?
315
00:20:28,291 --> 00:20:31,042
We're not handicapping
the fucking Army-Navy game.
316
00:20:31,125 --> 00:20:34,458
-Uh, Mr. President?
-Yes. Who's that?
317
00:20:34,958 --> 00:20:37,125
{\an8}This is Jake Baerington, sir.
318
00:20:37,208 --> 00:20:41,750
{\an8}Uh, we actually met briefly
before the, uh, G8 last year.
319
00:20:42,833 --> 00:20:43,833
Uh...
320
00:20:45,208 --> 00:20:47,750
If someone could...
If... if we could get Anna Park.
321
00:20:47,833 --> 00:20:50,500
She's the national intelligence officer
for the DPRK.
322
00:20:50,583 --> 00:20:54,083
{\an8}She'll have a more informed view on
North Korean intentions and capabilities.
323
00:20:54,166 --> 00:20:56,042
{\an8}Okay, so how do I talk to her?
324
00:20:56,125 --> 00:20:58,083
Ma'am, I got FEMA operations on line one.
325
00:20:58,666 --> 00:20:59,875
FEMA? Now?
326
00:20:59,958 --> 00:21:02,583
I'm going to find out. Yeah. I'm sorry.
327
00:21:02,666 --> 00:21:04,208
Have you seen this?
328
00:21:05,916 --> 00:21:07,000
Excuse me.
329
00:21:10,333 --> 00:21:11,500
Uh...
330
00:21:12,166 --> 00:21:15,166
-The whizzer's on.
-I couldn't connect it to your office.
331
00:21:15,666 --> 00:21:19,833
This is, uh, Cathy Rogers with the Office
of National Continuity Programs.
332
00:21:19,916 --> 00:21:22,958
I'm trying to find someone
who can tell me what the hell is going on.
333
00:21:23,041 --> 00:21:24,166
How so?
334
00:21:25,166 --> 00:21:29,375
Well, we received instructions to initiate
our Joint Emergency Evacuation Plan.
335
00:21:29,458 --> 00:21:30,292
Right. And?
336
00:21:30,375 --> 00:21:33,125
And, what, you expect the speaker
of the house to make a run for it
337
00:21:33,208 --> 00:21:34,875
without having a few questions first?
338
00:21:34,958 --> 00:21:37,125
No, I don't know
what the speaker of the house...
339
00:21:37,208 --> 00:21:40,625
Are you telling me
we're at war all of a sudden?
340
00:21:42,125 --> 00:21:43,083
With who?
341
00:21:43,166 --> 00:21:46,333
The only thing I can do,
I can confirm the JEEP order's authentic.
342
00:21:46,416 --> 00:21:48,542
-Thank you.
-Admiral Miller?
343
00:21:48,625 --> 00:21:51,208
-That's me.
-We need to move you to the PEOC, sir.
344
00:21:52,375 --> 00:21:56,583
Okay, well, we all just can't leave.
We need to make an orderly transition.
345
00:21:56,666 --> 00:21:58,667
Get the flyaway team to Raven Rock.
346
00:21:58,750 --> 00:22:01,500
Not everyone. Just you,
Gordon, Caldwell, and Stern.
347
00:22:01,583 --> 00:22:03,583
Those are the names I have
on the COG list.
348
00:22:04,291 --> 00:22:05,083
Okay.
349
00:22:05,166 --> 00:22:09,167
One moment.
Uh, I mean, this is ridiculous.
350
00:22:09,250 --> 00:22:10,333
It's...
351
00:22:11,666 --> 00:22:13,500
Okay. Liv.
352
00:22:14,250 --> 00:22:16,125
-Yep.
-Everyone back to it.
353
00:22:19,291 --> 00:22:20,417
You get off?
354
00:22:20,500 --> 00:22:21,625
You should go.
355
00:22:22,666 --> 00:22:24,292
-Me? No.
-Yes. Just in case.
356
00:22:24,375 --> 00:22:26,291
Come on. That's not how this works.
357
00:22:26,791 --> 00:22:30,292
No, the president's gonna call the bunker.
He's gonna expect you to answer.
358
00:22:30,375 --> 00:22:32,958
He can't pick me out of a lineup. Come on.
359
00:22:33,625 --> 00:22:36,667
Besides, GBI's gonna
take this thing right out, right?
360
00:22:36,750 --> 00:22:38,166
If it's even real.
361
00:22:39,916 --> 00:22:43,625
Hey, didn't the Soviets
mistake a flock of birds for ICBMs once?
362
00:22:43,708 --> 00:22:44,916
The sun.
363
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,875
'83. High-altitude clouds.
364
00:22:50,041 --> 00:22:52,166
-It's a sunny day, sir.
-Sir.
365
00:22:53,250 --> 00:22:55,625
I have instructions
to physically escort you.
366
00:22:56,125 --> 00:22:57,792
I've got it, okay?
367
00:22:57,875 --> 00:22:58,958
Come.
368
00:23:01,833 --> 00:23:03,125
Gordon, let's go.
369
00:23:03,208 --> 00:23:04,375
Yes, sir.
370
00:23:06,791 --> 00:23:07,875
Do your thing.
371
00:23:15,291 --> 00:23:17,958
Right. Everyone, let's stay focused.
372
00:23:18,750 --> 00:23:19,875
Let's do what...
373
00:23:22,041 --> 00:23:25,000
what we do best, right?
President still needs us.
374
00:23:30,750 --> 00:23:34,458
Hey, buddy. Can you hold tight
for just a second? Just...
375
00:23:36,833 --> 00:23:37,833
Hey.
376
00:23:38,208 --> 00:23:39,583
-Hi. Me again.
-I'm so sorry.
377
00:23:39,666 --> 00:23:41,208
-We're so busy today.
-I get it.
378
00:23:46,041 --> 00:23:47,041
Come on.
379
00:23:47,416 --> 00:23:49,000
Sorry.
380
00:23:49,083 --> 00:23:50,917
Uh, if the doctor can't see him today,
381
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,666
can he just write him a prescription
or something like that?
382
00:23:54,666 --> 00:23:56,125
I'll have to ask.
383
00:23:58,458 --> 00:24:00,500
Fuck.
384
00:24:04,666 --> 00:24:05,666
Shit.
385
00:24:20,916 --> 00:24:23,083
Hey, hon. Um...
386
00:24:23,166 --> 00:24:24,875
Is anything going on up there?
387
00:24:25,666 --> 00:24:29,083
I... I don't know. Anything... unusual.
388
00:24:31,125 --> 00:24:34,208
Shelter in place.
389
00:24:34,291 --> 00:24:37,375
-Stand by EKV release.
-What the fuck is going on, sir?
390
00:24:37,458 --> 00:24:39,542
You saw what happened.
We launched our GBIs.
391
00:24:39,625 --> 00:24:42,041
-Your ass should be in the bunkers.
-Yes, sir.
392
00:24:42,666 --> 00:24:44,000
EKV status?
393
00:24:44,791 --> 00:24:47,625
-Bring up the space-based kill assessment.
-Stand by.
394
00:24:48,125 --> 00:24:51,708
Three, two, one,
395
00:24:52,208 --> 00:24:53,208
release.
396
00:24:56,250 --> 00:24:57,875
First EKV released.
397
00:24:57,958 --> 00:25:00,833
Velocity ten kilometers per second.
Closing in on target.
398
00:25:04,500 --> 00:25:07,791
Second EKV has failed to separate.
399
00:25:13,875 --> 00:25:15,625
I'm sure it is a mistake, Mr. Leader,
400
00:25:15,708 --> 00:25:20,125
and we'll turn you around right away
as soon as we confirm that.
401
00:25:20,208 --> 00:25:21,791
It didn't... it didn't work.
402
00:25:22,416 --> 00:25:23,416
Failed.
403
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,125
-One EKV left.
-What's the status of the GBIs?
404
00:25:26,208 --> 00:25:27,792
Second EKV failed to launch.
405
00:25:27,875 --> 00:25:31,583
-The first EKV is currently still inbound.
-Why don't we launch more?
406
00:25:32,125 --> 00:25:34,917
We have fewer than 50 GBIs
in our entire arsenal.
407
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,125
We're gonna need them
if they fire more missiles at us.
408
00:25:37,208 --> 00:25:39,750
If someone fires more,
aren't we all fucked anyway?
409
00:25:40,250 --> 00:25:43,833
The kinetic energy of one single EKV
colliding with an incoming warhead,
410
00:25:43,916 --> 00:25:46,208
it's over 100 million joules.
411
00:25:46,291 --> 00:25:47,875
-It'll vaporize it.
-Yeah.
412
00:25:48,875 --> 00:25:51,291
This is gonna be over in a minute, right?
413
00:25:52,291 --> 00:25:54,625
End of our shift,
we're gonna be on our way home. You...
414
00:25:54,708 --> 00:25:58,166
Look at me. You're gonna have a stop
at that little jewelry store, right?
415
00:25:58,666 --> 00:26:01,083
When you look back at this drama,
what, this is gonna be
416
00:26:01,166 --> 00:26:03,958
the second most exciting thing
that happened to you today.
417
00:26:05,666 --> 00:26:06,666
Right?
418
00:26:07,708 --> 00:26:08,708
Right.
419
00:26:15,541 --> 00:26:16,541
Yeah.
420
00:26:18,958 --> 00:26:22,958
Uh, the senator just got up and left
in the middle of the hearing?
421
00:26:23,750 --> 00:26:26,250
-EKV adjusting course.
-Twenty-one seconds.
422
00:26:30,791 --> 00:26:32,125
You okay, Sergeant?
423
00:26:34,166 --> 00:26:35,875
Put up STRATCOM's audio.
424
00:26:38,916 --> 00:26:40,250
Ten seconds.
425
00:26:40,833 --> 00:26:41,833
Nine.
426
00:26:42,750 --> 00:26:45,208
-Eight. Seven.
-Listen, before, with the chips...
427
00:26:45,291 --> 00:26:47,333
-We're good, man. I'm a slob.
-Six. Five.
428
00:26:47,416 --> 00:26:49,791
To hell with her.
Shouldn't have left it like that.
429
00:26:50,375 --> 00:26:51,375
Three.
430
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:53,000
Two.
431
00:26:53,791 --> 00:26:54,791
One.
432
00:27:03,833 --> 00:27:05,125
Confirm impact.
433
00:27:08,458 --> 00:27:10,583
-Confirm impact.
-Stand by. Confirming.
434
00:27:11,083 --> 00:27:12,083
Hold.
435
00:27:15,583 --> 00:27:17,463
-Come on. What are you waiting for?
-I just...
436
00:27:20,083 --> 00:27:21,166
It's negative.
437
00:27:22,958 --> 00:27:23,958
Oh shit.
438
00:27:24,666 --> 00:27:25,875
Fuck.
439
00:27:26,416 --> 00:27:27,250
I, uh...
440
00:27:27,333 --> 00:27:30,041
-Yes, negative impact.
-Negative impact.
441
00:27:30,625 --> 00:27:32,291
Object remains inbound.
442
00:27:40,291 --> 00:27:41,875
We did everything right, right?
443
00:27:45,208 --> 00:27:46,208
Right?
444
00:27:47,500 --> 00:27:50,000
We did every fucking thing right.
445
00:27:50,583 --> 00:27:53,542
Mr. President, confirming DEFCON 1, sir.
446
00:27:53,625 --> 00:27:54,750
Oh my God.
447
00:27:55,291 --> 00:27:57,792
Oh Jesus. We just went DEFCON 1.
448
00:27:57,875 --> 00:27:59,125
Okay.
449
00:27:59,208 --> 00:28:00,458
Confirming.
450
00:28:02,458 --> 00:28:04,583
-Okay.
-Negative impact.
451
00:28:07,958 --> 00:28:11,125
Major, confirm the release
of two additional GBIs to intercept.
452
00:28:12,708 --> 00:28:13,791
Major.
453
00:28:15,166 --> 00:28:16,583
Major... Danny.
454
00:28:16,666 --> 00:28:17,666
Danny?
455
00:28:18,583 --> 00:28:20,416
Danny, we gotta launch again, right?
456
00:28:24,333 --> 00:28:26,375
Pull it up. Come on. Come on. Pull it up.
457
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:34,250
Target is past apogee
and entering terminal phase, sir.
458
00:28:35,541 --> 00:28:37,958
I... I have
an updated flight trajectory, sir.
459
00:28:39,708 --> 00:28:40,708
Chicago.
460
00:28:44,541 --> 00:28:46,083
Why the hell is that book out?
461
00:28:46,166 --> 00:28:49,375
Mr. President, significant time
and expertise were devoted
462
00:28:49,458 --> 00:28:51,000
to designing these options.
463
00:28:51,083 --> 00:28:54,375
You'll find a range,
select, limited, and major,
464
00:28:54,458 --> 00:28:57,625
depending on the scale of the response
you feel is warranted.
465
00:28:57,708 --> 00:29:00,916
I suggest you allow
Lieutenant Commander Reeves to brief you.
466
00:29:01,416 --> 00:29:02,416
Fuck.
467
00:29:06,583 --> 00:29:07,583
Thank you.
468
00:29:09,958 --> 00:29:13,667
Most of the Iron Gate list is on the move,
but they are not happy.
469
00:29:13,750 --> 00:29:14,833
Any word?
470
00:29:16,916 --> 00:29:17,916
Mike.
471
00:29:18,250 --> 00:29:21,542
What's our casualty estimate
for a nuclear strike on Chicago?
472
00:29:21,625 --> 00:29:22,708
What?
473
00:29:23,833 --> 00:29:25,958
Seriously? This is starting
to piss me off.
474
00:29:26,041 --> 00:29:27,666
-They should give more...
-Goddamn it.
475
00:29:28,166 --> 00:29:29,291
What is it, Cathy?
476
00:29:29,791 --> 00:29:33,458
Ten million, primary.
Another 10% downwind.
477
00:29:58,583 --> 00:30:00,416
What are you doing? Hey.
478
00:30:20,291 --> 00:30:22,292
Russia, finally.
Foreign minister for the president.
479
00:30:22,375 --> 00:30:23,375
Great.
480
00:30:24,333 --> 00:30:27,625
Sir, this is Captain Olivia Walker,
ranking officer on duty.
481
00:30:28,750 --> 00:30:30,542
I will connect you with the president.
482
00:30:30,625 --> 00:30:33,083
-I can't... I can't merge the calls.
-What? What do you mean?
483
00:30:33,166 --> 00:30:35,167
POTUS is on the NC3.
Russia's on the hotline.
484
00:30:35,250 --> 00:30:38,083
-He'd drop off, then we'd dial him in.
-So? Can you do that?
485
00:30:38,166 --> 00:30:41,292
We risk losing contact. He's on the move.
Plus the time it takes.
486
00:30:41,375 --> 00:30:44,666
STRATCOM is asking for
our launch instructions for retaliation.
487
00:30:45,166 --> 00:30:46,875
-Like, right now.
-Okay. All right.
488
00:30:48,916 --> 00:30:51,250
Sir, we're having technical issues
with the president.
489
00:30:51,333 --> 00:30:54,042
I'm gonna get you someone
who can speak for him right now.
490
00:30:54,125 --> 00:30:55,125
Please hold.
491
00:30:55,583 --> 00:30:58,666
Billy, I want you to go and get my cell.
Get yours too.
492
00:30:59,166 --> 00:31:00,292
-Ma'am.
-Just go.
493
00:31:00,375 --> 00:31:01,333
Why are we launching?
494
00:31:01,416 --> 00:31:03,708
Quickly. I'm asking you.
I can handle this.
495
00:31:05,500 --> 00:31:07,333
Not sure. You'll have to try DOD.
496
00:31:07,416 --> 00:31:09,917
Who's in charge there? Can you put him on?
497
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,666
Gail, can you monitor the NSCC?
498
00:32:17,541 --> 00:32:20,208
-Hello?
-Hey, Mom. Um...
499
00:32:20,708 --> 00:32:22,458
Yeah, no, everything's, uh...
500
00:32:26,291 --> 00:32:28,875
Yeah, no, no, I'm good.
I promise you I am...
501
00:32:29,375 --> 00:32:30,458
I'm doing great.
502
00:32:32,041 --> 00:32:33,625
Okay.
503
00:32:35,916 --> 00:32:37,291
Yeah, no, I'm, uh...
504
00:32:37,791 --> 00:32:39,583
Yeah, I'm working hard. I'm
505
00:32:40,958 --> 00:32:42,208
doing my best.
506
00:32:47,125 --> 00:32:48,125
Yeah.
507
00:32:50,208 --> 00:32:52,958
No, I just... I just wanted to call you
and, you know,
508
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:55,166
tell you I love you.
509
00:32:55,916 --> 00:32:56,916
Aw.
510
00:33:02,333 --> 00:33:03,917
All right. I'll... I'll
call you later. Um...
511
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:06,250
Yeah, I gotta go.
They're calling me right now.
512
00:33:22,708 --> 00:33:25,042
They've got five minutes.
How far is anyone gonna get?
513
00:33:25,125 --> 00:33:26,958
They can at least shelter in place.
514
00:33:27,041 --> 00:33:29,000
Do you think hiding under desks
is gonna help them?
515
00:33:29,083 --> 00:33:31,625
There's a car outside.
Driver says you're on some kind of list.
516
00:33:31,708 --> 00:33:33,375
-"Hasty Access."
-Who's downstairs?
517
00:33:33,458 --> 00:33:34,916
Some guy's here to take Cathy.
518
00:33:37,500 --> 00:33:39,500
-I'm a DE, Mike.
-What does that mean?
519
00:33:41,625 --> 00:33:43,250
Designated evacuee.
520
00:33:44,125 --> 00:33:46,125
It means
she gets to ride this out at Raven Rock.
521
00:33:46,208 --> 00:33:48,750
You chose me as your alternate.
522
00:33:49,666 --> 00:33:52,792
There's no threat to DC. There might not
even be a threat to Chicago.
523
00:33:52,875 --> 00:33:54,708
She's barely done her job for a month.
524
00:33:55,541 --> 00:33:57,250
Why does she get to be rescued?
525
00:34:00,875 --> 00:34:01,875
Come on.
526
00:34:03,916 --> 00:34:06,292
-He's checking in.
-I'll update you when we get there.
527
00:34:06,375 --> 00:34:08,083
Yeah. Come on. We're moving out.
528
00:34:12,583 --> 00:34:14,833
Hey, what's going on up there?
Where's everyone going?
529
00:34:14,916 --> 00:34:18,083
Try his secretary! Somebody!
Secretary, I don't give a...
530
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:20,000
Go home.
531
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:43,541
Beijing Station reports
the PSC is convening an emergency session.
532
00:34:44,166 --> 00:34:46,416
Yes. Yes,
I can get that for you right away.
533
00:34:48,166 --> 00:34:51,125
-Situation Room. Walker.
-Put me back on the NSCC.
534
00:34:51,208 --> 00:34:52,875
-Is it Russia's?
-He denied it.
535
00:34:52,958 --> 00:34:55,875
Said it might be Pyongyang. But he swears
they had nothing to do with it.
536
00:34:55,958 --> 00:34:56,917
Why are they mobilizing?
537
00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:58,875
They're seeing our B-2s go airborne.
538
00:34:58,958 --> 00:35:01,125
Now put me back on the fucking conference.
539
00:35:10,250 --> 00:35:13,167
Look. Look, as I told you,
I am not fully briefed yet,
540
00:35:13,250 --> 00:35:15,542
but I promise
I am doing my best to chase it down.
541
00:35:15,625 --> 00:35:17,083
You don't know why he bailed?
542
00:35:17,166 --> 00:35:19,833
-Is the president in Washington?
-Look, I...
543
00:35:19,916 --> 00:35:21,250
A military hero...
544
00:35:21,333 --> 00:35:22,708
Where should we go?
545
00:35:22,791 --> 00:35:25,375
The American public deserves
to know what's happening.
546
00:35:25,458 --> 00:35:27,292
Excuse me.
Sorry. Do you know what's going on?
547
00:35:27,375 --> 00:35:28,542
You should leave if you can.
548
00:35:28,625 --> 00:35:29,708
Are the American...
549
00:35:29,791 --> 00:35:31,208
-Sorry.
-Where are you going?
550
00:35:31,291 --> 00:35:32,875
What is happening?
551
00:35:38,041 --> 00:35:43,000
Yes, we've got Governor on line two,
and we're merging the calls now.
552
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:45,291
Thank you for your patience.
553
00:35:51,500 --> 00:35:54,042
Raven Rock is asking for
names and serial numbers
554
00:35:54,125 --> 00:35:55,708
of everyone still here on duty.
555
00:35:55,791 --> 00:35:57,875
Socials for civilians in case...
556
00:35:58,916 --> 00:36:02,500
If it's just Chicago, it's just Chicago,
but if we fire back...
557
00:36:02,583 --> 00:36:04,083
They need a dead list.
558
00:36:06,250 --> 00:36:07,416
Thanks.
559
00:36:30,375 --> 00:36:33,166
Yes. We have the governor on the line.
560
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:38,000
Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on.
561
00:36:38,916 --> 00:36:39,916
Come on.
562
00:36:40,250 --> 00:36:42,375
All right, Liam. Watch your head, bud.
Watch your...
563
00:36:42,458 --> 00:36:44,458
I wanna do it by myself.
564
00:36:44,541 --> 00:36:46,625
Okay. Okay.
565
00:36:48,750 --> 00:36:49,792
-Hey.
-Listen to me.
566
00:36:49,875 --> 00:36:52,625
Get Liam, get in the car,
and just start driving.
567
00:36:52,708 --> 00:36:54,292
Where? What are you talking about?
568
00:36:54,375 --> 00:36:58,708
West. Go west. Go west as fast as you can.
Get away from any urban centers.
569
00:36:58,791 --> 00:37:00,875
-Liv, what the fuck? What's going on?
-Listen.
570
00:37:00,958 --> 00:37:05,375
I'll call you. I love you. I love you.
Can you kiss Liam for me? Just kiss him.
571
00:37:06,083 --> 00:37:07,125
Bye, bye, bye.
572
00:37:13,750 --> 00:37:14,750
Okay.
573
00:37:27,083 --> 00:37:29,041
-Miss Rogers?
-Yes. Yes.
574
00:38:12,750 --> 00:38:15,750
-Sir, your nuclear forces are ready.
-They'll wait, right?
575
00:38:16,916 --> 00:38:19,083
To see what happens before they retaliate.
576
00:38:20,125 --> 00:38:21,708
What if he doesn't come back on?
577
00:38:23,375 --> 00:38:24,708
Decapitation event.
578
00:38:24,791 --> 00:38:26,333
We find the vice president...
579
00:38:27,250 --> 00:38:31,208
-Any chance this lands in Lake Michigan?
-A lot of times, they don't even detonate.
580
00:38:31,291 --> 00:38:32,791
All right, I'm here.
581
00:38:33,375 --> 00:38:35,750
-You'll need your SAS card, sir.
-Oh.
582
00:38:37,333 --> 00:38:38,583
It's in here somewhere.
583
00:38:39,750 --> 00:38:40,750
Right.
584
00:38:41,166 --> 00:38:43,291
Reminds me of when I was in college.
585
00:38:46,375 --> 00:38:48,250
You just, uh, read it aloud.
586
00:38:49,083 --> 00:38:50,083
Hey.
587
00:38:51,125 --> 00:38:53,833
-November, Delta, Oscar.
-Come here.
588
00:38:54,416 --> 00:38:57,125
-One, one, one, seven.
-It's okay.
589
00:38:57,208 --> 00:38:59,667
November, Delta, Oscar.
590
00:38:59,750 --> 00:39:03,083
One, one, one, seven.
591
00:39:04,833 --> 00:39:07,208
National command authority confirmed.
592
00:39:08,833 --> 00:39:10,833
Your orders, Mr. President?
593
00:40:35,833 --> 00:40:37,083
{\an8}-Steve.
-General.
594
00:40:37,166 --> 00:40:41,000
{\an8}Goddamn! Lindor is a great shortstop, man.
595
00:40:41,083 --> 00:40:43,792
Tell me you watched
that All-Star game, please.
596
00:40:43,875 --> 00:40:45,666
Let your boys stay up that late?
597
00:40:46,583 --> 00:40:49,583
-Yours give you a choice?
-No. No, they do not.
598
00:40:55,875 --> 00:40:57,083
Call to arms!
599
00:40:57,708 --> 00:40:58,833
Fire!
600
00:41:04,083 --> 00:41:05,875
Ready!
601
00:41:05,958 --> 00:41:07,375
Fire at will!
602
00:41:24,833 --> 00:41:26,542
-This is awesome.
-Uh-huh.
603
00:41:26,625 --> 00:41:31,208
Well, 50,000 deaths in three days.
Awesome is one word.
604
00:41:55,625 --> 00:41:58,250
This is the DDO
at the National Military Command Center
605
00:41:58,333 --> 00:42:01,708
with a top-secret SCI
national security conference
606
00:42:01,791 --> 00:42:03,667
for missile launch indications.
607
00:42:03,750 --> 00:42:05,958
All conferees, please stand by.
608
00:42:17,541 --> 00:42:18,792
J3, are you tracking this?
609
00:42:18,875 --> 00:42:21,458
I don't remember anything
from the ops and intel briefing.
610
00:42:21,541 --> 00:42:24,000
It's news to me, Dan. I'll look into it.
611
00:42:37,666 --> 00:42:40,041
-Did you see that?
-On it.
612
00:42:41,333 --> 00:42:44,666
EDBC Whisper. Tracking
inbound ICBM in the Pacific theater.
613
00:42:45,500 --> 00:42:47,125
Attention on deck.
614
00:42:48,916 --> 00:42:50,792
Morning, everybody.
Please take your seats.
615
00:42:50,875 --> 00:42:53,666
-Morning, sir.
-What's the situation?
616
00:42:54,791 --> 00:42:57,042
Sir, missile-launch indications
in the Pacific theater.
617
00:42:57,125 --> 00:42:59,708
The DDO's standing up
a national security conference.
618
00:43:00,958 --> 00:43:03,625
Sir, no update yet,
but I'm hoping to have one soon.
619
00:43:08,166 --> 00:43:10,791
-Did you see that ball game last night?
-Yes, sir.
620
00:43:11,958 --> 00:43:13,500
You believe that Lindor?
621
00:43:14,041 --> 00:43:15,000
-I mean...
-Impressive.
622
00:43:15,083 --> 00:43:17,916
He is unbelievable.
623
00:43:21,583 --> 00:43:23,208
Yep, it's all good news.
624
00:43:28,458 --> 00:43:29,458
Okay.
625
00:43:30,875 --> 00:43:32,083
Okay, I'll tell him.
626
00:43:33,708 --> 00:43:34,708
Love you.
627
00:43:37,458 --> 00:43:40,083
My mom wants to know
if you're going to Helsinki next week.
628
00:43:40,166 --> 00:43:41,458
She must have...
629
00:43:42,208 --> 00:43:44,208
must have seen it
on The View or something.
630
00:43:44,708 --> 00:43:46,208
No. No, I won't be there,
631
00:43:46,291 --> 00:43:48,750
but the briefing I wrote has
a really nice first-class seat,
632
00:43:48,833 --> 00:43:49,667
so that's great.
633
00:43:49,750 --> 00:43:52,250
If you're really not that happy,
I can talk to Marty.
634
00:43:52,333 --> 00:43:55,375
No, don't talk to Marty.
Staff director's a lateral move.
635
00:43:55,458 --> 00:43:59,000
-I can't go back to the Hill. It's a, uh...
-Hmm.
636
00:43:59,083 --> 00:44:01,291
-It's just...
-It's what?
637
00:44:02,875 --> 00:44:05,208
-It's a bad idea...
-Mmm.
638
00:44:05,750 --> 00:44:09,583
...to be working in such close proximity
to my radiant wife.
639
00:44:09,666 --> 00:44:13,417
You think that she'll inherit
your capacity for ass-kissing bullshit?
640
00:44:13,500 --> 00:44:15,916
Sorry.
641
00:44:16,750 --> 00:44:18,583
Hey, it... uh, it's Jake.
642
00:44:21,416 --> 00:44:22,416
Yeah.
643
00:44:26,750 --> 00:44:27,750
Bye.
644
00:44:33,666 --> 00:44:37,375
The DSP satellite system
is generally reliable,
645
00:44:37,458 --> 00:44:41,333
but that will obviously be a focus
of our after-action.
646
00:44:41,416 --> 00:44:43,583
{\an8}So the launch could've been
land or sea-based?
647
00:44:43,666 --> 00:44:46,208
No, the DPRK don't have
an SSBN capability.
648
00:44:46,291 --> 00:44:47,125
That we know of.
649
00:44:47,208 --> 00:44:49,667
Beijing's been wanting
to test their Jin-class boats.
650
00:44:49,750 --> 00:44:50,625
Eight sugars, please.
651
00:44:50,708 --> 00:44:52,833
And we've been tracking
three Borei-class subs
652
00:44:52,916 --> 00:44:55,042
out of Vladivostok since last week.
653
00:44:55,125 --> 00:44:57,125
On top of their push into the Atlantic,
654
00:44:57,208 --> 00:44:59,125
I can't see 'em risking more sanctions.
655
00:44:59,208 --> 00:45:01,792
Uh, sir, on the, uh, North Korean front...
656
00:45:01,875 --> 00:45:04,542
-Who is that?
-Jake Baerington, sir.
657
00:45:04,625 --> 00:45:05,958
Dick Holland's deputy.
658
00:45:06,041 --> 00:45:08,042
There's a reason
I didn't join the Navy, son.
659
00:45:08,125 --> 00:45:10,167
All that bouncing around's
making me seasick.
660
00:45:10,250 --> 00:45:12,958
I'm sorry, sir. I just, um...
I'm almost at the White House.
661
00:45:13,041 --> 00:45:14,458
I just wanted to say,
662
00:45:15,125 --> 00:45:18,250
well, we do know that the KPA
have been chasing sub capabilities,
663
00:45:18,333 --> 00:45:21,833
okay, and previous leaps
in booster design and TELs
664
00:45:21,916 --> 00:45:23,667
have gone undetected till roll out.
665
00:45:23,750 --> 00:45:25,583
Mr. Baerington? All due respect...
666
00:45:25,666 --> 00:45:26,958
-Thank you.
-Hello?
667
00:45:27,541 --> 00:45:28,625
Mr. Baerington?
668
00:45:29,916 --> 00:45:31,417
Did we lose him?
669
00:45:31,500 --> 00:45:32,708
Mr. Baerington?
670
00:45:32,791 --> 00:45:34,000
Hello? Sir?
671
00:45:37,041 --> 00:45:38,041
Fuck.
672
00:45:39,875 --> 00:45:40,875
Sir.
673
00:45:42,208 --> 00:45:44,500
I do think we need to upgrade
our salvage operations.
674
00:45:44,583 --> 00:45:47,500
We're leaving potentially valuable
intelligence on the ocean floor...
675
00:45:47,583 --> 00:45:48,666
Sir.
676
00:45:49,166 --> 00:45:51,375
Uh, excuse me a moment. What?
677
00:45:55,458 --> 00:45:56,750
No way that's right.
678
00:45:57,416 --> 00:45:58,791
NORTHCOM confirms.
679
00:45:59,291 --> 00:46:01,208
Fort Greely's preparing to launch GBIs.
680
00:46:01,291 --> 00:46:04,333
{\an8}That's right, Tony.
I've authorized weapons-release authority.
681
00:46:13,083 --> 00:46:15,875
Um, sorry about that.
Seems we have an update.
682
00:46:17,541 --> 00:46:21,291
Current velocity indicates
the object will go suborbital.
683
00:46:22,583 --> 00:46:24,292
Current flight trajectory is consistent
684
00:46:24,375 --> 00:46:27,500
with impact somewhere
in the continental United States.
685
00:46:28,875 --> 00:46:30,000
Holy shit.
686
00:46:30,083 --> 00:46:32,125
What's your level of confidence
on that, Tony?
687
00:46:35,166 --> 00:46:36,250
It's not an error.
688
00:46:36,333 --> 00:46:39,041
We're tracking it
on multiple radar systems now.
689
00:46:40,250 --> 00:46:44,291
I'm told... Hi, Jerry... we have
dual phenomenology on the track.
690
00:46:45,125 --> 00:46:46,958
Nineteen minutes to impact.
691
00:46:48,583 --> 00:46:50,541
Confirming DEFCON 2.
692
00:46:52,958 --> 00:46:55,000
We have a confirmed
hostile launch, everyone.
693
00:46:55,083 --> 00:46:56,583
Initiate phase one.
694
00:46:56,666 --> 00:46:59,292
OPLAN 8044, revision 25.
695
00:46:59,375 --> 00:47:01,500
-Stand by, all commands.
-Yes, sir.
696
00:47:01,583 --> 00:47:02,791
What is our target?
697
00:47:03,291 --> 00:47:05,333
My team's doing everything they can...
698
00:47:09,500 --> 00:47:11,166
Have you found POTUS yet?
699
00:47:12,958 --> 00:47:15,416
Okay, when you find him, patch him in.
Keep calling.
700
00:47:18,541 --> 00:47:20,541
Can I have 15 seconds?
701
00:47:35,375 --> 00:47:38,083
You gonna bring something back
every time we forward deploy?
702
00:47:38,666 --> 00:47:40,167
'Cause you're creating an expectation.
703
00:47:40,250 --> 00:47:42,792
He's three. He has no expectations.
704
00:47:42,875 --> 00:47:43,958
Exactly.
705
00:47:44,791 --> 00:47:47,667
Sometimes he wakes up, Daddy's gone.
Sometimes Daddy's home.
706
00:47:47,750 --> 00:47:51,250
Listen to him, kid.
It's the benefit of two marriages talking.
707
00:47:51,333 --> 00:47:52,833
Third time's the charm.
708
00:47:55,708 --> 00:47:57,542
...with no warning whatsoever.
709
00:47:57,625 --> 00:48:00,875
-We need to speak with someone who can...
-Of course, Mr. Secretary.
710
00:48:00,958 --> 00:48:02,875
Jake, how's Lily doing?
711
00:48:02,958 --> 00:48:05,333
-Sorry, I'm on a...
-Well, tell her I said hi.
712
00:48:05,416 --> 00:48:07,958
In the meantime,
we've raised our alert status.
713
00:48:08,583 --> 00:48:11,208
After last month's test launch,
we forward-deployed a number of B-2...
714
00:48:11,291 --> 00:48:12,542
Hello? Uh...
715
00:48:12,625 --> 00:48:17,375
Sir, I'm sorry, I think, um...
I think we got disconnected for a minute.
716
00:48:17,458 --> 00:48:19,250
I think we should reconsider that, sir.
717
00:48:19,333 --> 00:48:21,333
Reconsider what exactly?
718
00:48:21,416 --> 00:48:22,416
Well...
719
00:48:22,875 --> 00:48:25,250
By, uh... Go for it.
720
00:48:25,333 --> 00:48:27,417
By moving to DEFCON 2, sir,
721
00:48:27,500 --> 00:48:30,083
we are potentially risking
a spiral of alerts.
722
00:48:30,166 --> 00:48:31,541
Spiral of what?
723
00:48:32,166 --> 00:48:34,333
Jake? Where the hell's Dick?
724
00:48:34,416 --> 00:48:36,292
Spiral of alerts, Mr. Secretary.
725
00:48:36,375 --> 00:48:38,542
And, uh, Dick's out of pocket right now.
726
00:48:38,625 --> 00:48:41,500
But... when we increase our readiness...
727
00:48:41,583 --> 00:48:43,333
-Sir.
-Yeah.
728
00:48:43,416 --> 00:48:44,833
...all of our adversaries do the same,
729
00:48:44,916 --> 00:48:49,167
believing we're preparing to take
offensive action ourselves.
730
00:48:49,250 --> 00:48:51,958
Okay, what we need to do,
we need to communicate with them.
731
00:48:52,041 --> 00:48:55,333
-We need to... we need to explain our...
-Then communicate.
732
00:48:55,958 --> 00:48:57,375
That's your job, not mine.
733
00:48:58,250 --> 00:49:02,125
You have someone you can call who will
tell us just what the hell's going on?
734
00:49:02,208 --> 00:49:03,917
Don't let us hold you back.
735
00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:06,083
-Sir, put your phone in the tray.
-Just one sec.
736
00:49:06,166 --> 00:49:08,000
-I don't have one sec.
-Yeah.
737
00:49:08,083 --> 00:49:11,292
I'm sorry. Sorry, General.
I... I wasn't talking to you, sir.
738
00:49:11,375 --> 00:49:14,125
Then who in the hell were you talking to?
739
00:49:14,875 --> 00:49:16,917
Do we have an ETA for POTUS yet?
740
00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:18,500
I'm told imminent.
741
00:49:18,583 --> 00:49:22,875
It occurs to me,
do we have COG responsibility here?
742
00:49:23,583 --> 00:49:26,000
I'll be taking your questions
at the later briefing this morning,
743
00:49:26,083 --> 00:49:28,208
so if you can just hold them until then.
744
00:49:30,166 --> 00:49:31,167
Sorry.
745
00:49:31,250 --> 00:49:33,541
Sorry. Excuse me.
746
00:49:34,916 --> 00:49:36,541
We still waiting on POTUS?
747
00:49:38,458 --> 00:49:39,500
What do you think?
748
00:49:40,541 --> 00:49:41,750
I'd be guessing.
749
00:49:41,833 --> 00:49:43,250
Where the hell is POTUS?
750
00:49:43,333 --> 00:49:44,625
North Koreans.
751
00:49:45,916 --> 00:49:47,333
Fuel shortages. Crop failures.
752
00:49:47,416 --> 00:49:49,500
Maybe they're more desperate
than we thought.
753
00:49:50,666 --> 00:49:51,625
B-2s are sortieing.
754
00:49:51,708 --> 00:49:54,916
Or it's Moscow, and they want us to think
it's the North Koreans.
755
00:49:56,666 --> 00:49:58,583
Moscow knows we'll retaliate.
756
00:49:58,666 --> 00:49:59,750
Do they?
757
00:50:00,916 --> 00:50:02,708
Assassinating dissidents
wherever they please.
758
00:50:02,791 --> 00:50:05,250
Imprisoning Americans. Ukraine.
759
00:50:05,750 --> 00:50:08,875
And what? We confiscate
a few of their yachts in Saint-Tropez?
760
00:50:10,125 --> 00:50:12,500
A single, unattributed strike
761
00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:14,083
sows chaos,
762
00:50:14,583 --> 00:50:16,000
puts us on our heels,
763
00:50:16,500 --> 00:50:19,667
and it gives them an opportunity
to see if they can get away with worse.
764
00:50:19,750 --> 00:50:21,791
Gives everyone that opportunity.
765
00:50:23,750 --> 00:50:27,750
Or some fucking sub captain woke up,
found out his wife left him, and snapped.
766
00:50:27,833 --> 00:50:29,750
-Yeah.
-Told you I'm guessing.
767
00:50:30,250 --> 00:50:31,250
Sir.
768
00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:33,000
Battle gram.
769
00:50:34,333 --> 00:50:36,000
Updating our target package.
770
00:50:37,250 --> 00:50:39,542
We're still trying
to ascertain that for you, sir.
771
00:50:39,625 --> 00:50:42,208
Greely better not fuck this up.
772
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:46,833
I have an updated impact estimate.
773
00:50:47,333 --> 00:50:48,375
{\an8}Go ahead, Tony.
774
00:51:08,750 --> 00:51:11,875
-Hey, when are we home again?
-1700 next Tuesday.
775
00:51:11,958 --> 00:51:14,833
You think I can meet this girl
at the Applebee's before they close?
776
00:51:14,916 --> 00:51:18,500
-You take your dates to Applebee's?
-She works there, dumb-ass.
777
00:51:39,541 --> 00:51:41,541
Jesus Christ.
778
00:51:42,416 --> 00:51:46,042
{\an8}This is why we have the GBIs.
No need to panic people.
779
00:51:46,125 --> 00:51:47,750
Did you say Chicago?
780
00:51:47,833 --> 00:51:50,666
Uh, yes. In the medium bucket.
781
00:51:51,916 --> 00:51:53,875
My daughter lives in Chicago.
782
00:51:55,250 --> 00:51:59,625
Sir, our GBIs
will be airborne momentarily.
783
00:51:59,708 --> 00:52:01,083
This is what we do.
784
00:52:02,500 --> 00:52:03,583
{\an8}Jake, you still there?
785
00:52:03,666 --> 00:52:04,750
Yes, sir.
786
00:52:05,333 --> 00:52:08,500
What are the chances this works?
Knocking it down.
787
00:52:09,083 --> 00:52:11,250
-General Brady should answer.
-I'm asking you.
788
00:52:11,333 --> 00:52:13,792
-Yes, but...
-I know what he's gonna say.
789
00:52:13,875 --> 00:52:15,416
And I want the truth.
790
00:52:18,208 --> 00:52:20,583
I should stay in my lane, sir,
791
00:52:21,083 --> 00:52:23,833
but... honestly...
792
00:52:23,916 --> 00:52:27,625
Interceptors have launched.
Everyone, interceptors have launched.
793
00:52:28,333 --> 00:52:31,125
...it depends on the circumstances.
794
00:52:31,875 --> 00:52:34,583
Okay, when we... when we test...
795
00:52:37,500 --> 00:52:39,042
When we test, we can't control...
796
00:52:39,125 --> 00:52:40,625
{\an8}Cut the bullshit, damn it!
797
00:52:43,833 --> 00:52:45,667
Once the kill vehicle separates,
798
00:52:45,750 --> 00:52:49,250
our mid course intercept system
has a success rate of 61%.
799
00:52:53,833 --> 00:52:55,416
So it's a fucking coin toss?
800
00:52:56,250 --> 00:52:58,708
That's what $50 billion buys us?
801
00:52:58,791 --> 00:53:01,291
We are talking about
hitting a bullet with a bullet.
802
00:53:01,791 --> 00:53:04,250
{\an8}Hello? Hello? Can anyone hear me?
803
00:53:04,333 --> 00:53:07,041
{\an8}Mr. President, let's get you up to speed.
804
00:53:07,916 --> 00:53:11,708
Attention on the flight line.
Attention on the flight line.
805
00:53:11,791 --> 00:53:13,792
Ground crew to hangar three.
806
00:53:13,875 --> 00:53:15,875
Prep Ghost 1 for launch.
807
00:53:17,958 --> 00:53:20,083
-This your office?
-Yeah.
808
00:53:20,166 --> 00:53:21,750
I need you to come with me, sir.
809
00:53:32,583 --> 00:53:34,750
Fuel gauges checked!
810
00:53:35,250 --> 00:53:37,833
Flight controls.
811
00:53:42,750 --> 00:53:43,958
Munitions loaded.
812
00:53:53,416 --> 00:53:55,708
Down the hall. Sir, we gotta move.
813
00:53:56,583 --> 00:53:59,250
-Sir, is everything okay?
-Gotta get to the elevator.
814
00:53:59,333 --> 00:54:02,208
-Marty, where are you going?
-Sir, we gotta get going now.
815
00:54:02,875 --> 00:54:03,875
Let's go.
816
00:54:41,958 --> 00:54:44,292
-Could be a mistake.
-On our end or theirs?
817
00:54:44,375 --> 00:54:45,375
Who are they?
818
00:54:45,458 --> 00:54:48,041
-Deputy NSA arriving.
-This way, sir.
819
00:54:49,208 --> 00:54:50,125
Hold on.
820
00:54:50,208 --> 00:54:54,708
What I'm asking is, what are the odds
this is an intentional strike?
821
00:54:54,791 --> 00:54:57,541
The odds, I'd put them at 75%.
822
00:54:58,125 --> 00:54:59,917
I'd say 80%.
823
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:02,000
All due respect, I'm closer to 50-50.
824
00:55:02,083 --> 00:55:05,458
Okay, is there anyone that can
do better than shot-in-the-dark guesses?
825
00:55:05,541 --> 00:55:08,000
We're not handicapping
the fucking Army-Navy game?
826
00:55:08,083 --> 00:55:09,583
-Uh, Mr. President.
-Yes.
827
00:55:09,666 --> 00:55:12,792
-Who's that?
-This is, uh, Jake Baerington, sir.
828
00:55:12,875 --> 00:55:17,500
Um, we actually met briefly
before the, uh, G8 last year.
829
00:55:18,375 --> 00:55:19,375
Uh...
830
00:55:21,750 --> 00:55:24,083
If someone could...
If... if we could get Anna Park.
831
00:55:24,166 --> 00:55:26,833
She's the national intelligence officer
for the DPRK.
832
00:55:26,916 --> 00:55:28,917
She'll have a more informed view
833
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:30,875
on North Korean
intentions and capabilities, sir.
834
00:55:30,958 --> 00:55:33,083
Okay, so how do I talk to her?
835
00:55:33,166 --> 00:55:35,083
We're getting her for you,
uh, Mr. President.
836
00:55:35,166 --> 00:55:37,458
Company men, ready!
837
00:55:38,375 --> 00:55:39,500
Fire!
838
00:55:43,291 --> 00:55:44,708
Wow!
839
00:55:49,666 --> 00:55:51,291
I'm gonna have to call the office.
840
00:55:53,875 --> 00:55:55,792
-Hello?
-Hey, Anna. It's Jake.
841
00:55:55,875 --> 00:55:59,250
-Jake. I just got a JEEP alert.
-You're on an NSCC with the president.
842
00:55:59,333 --> 00:56:01,875
-I'm sorry, what?
-Hey, Miss Park.
843
00:56:01,958 --> 00:56:03,333
It's the president.
844
00:56:03,416 --> 00:56:06,167
I understand that you're...
you're the expert.
845
00:56:06,250 --> 00:56:10,250
{\an8}There was a launch, Anna,
about ten minutes ago. Not a test.
846
00:56:10,750 --> 00:56:11,916
{\an8}Okay, we need answers.
847
00:56:12,416 --> 00:56:16,292
{\an8}Starting with could the DPRK have
an SSBN capability we don't know about?
848
00:56:16,375 --> 00:56:19,583
And how likely is it that the regime
would initiate a strike like this?
849
00:56:20,875 --> 00:56:22,958
A launch? I mean...
850
00:56:23,791 --> 00:56:25,542
Jake, I'm sorry. I'm off today.
851
00:56:25,625 --> 00:56:27,958
-Okay? I'm not even...
-Anna, what the... Where are you?
852
00:56:28,041 --> 00:56:29,583
-What the hell?
-Gettysburg.
853
00:56:29,666 --> 00:56:30,875
Anna.
854
00:56:32,125 --> 00:56:34,208
Please, this is real.
855
00:56:35,208 --> 00:56:38,458
I can't answer either question
with certainty, but yes,
856
00:56:38,541 --> 00:56:42,083
they've absolutely been seeking
a sea-based launch capability.
857
00:56:42,166 --> 00:56:45,167
They deployed a modified Romeo-class sub
two years ago
858
00:56:45,250 --> 00:56:48,083
carrying ten short-range cruise missiles.
859
00:56:48,166 --> 00:56:50,958
But why? Why... why would they do this?
860
00:56:51,041 --> 00:56:53,667
The regime's primary motivation
is self-preservation.
861
00:56:53,750 --> 00:56:55,208
Wouldn't that discourage?
862
00:56:55,291 --> 00:56:58,417
Sir, they may believe
they can survive a retaliatory strike.
863
00:56:58,500 --> 00:57:01,500
Which, given their dispersed command
and control and mobile-launch system,
864
00:57:01,583 --> 00:57:03,250
yes, it's entirely possible.
865
00:57:03,333 --> 00:57:07,292
And then negotiate relief for themselves.
Um, no more launches in exchange for aid.
866
00:57:07,375 --> 00:57:09,292
They think they can blackmail us?
867
00:57:09,375 --> 00:57:12,000
If you're losing a board game,
you might as well topple it.
868
00:57:12,083 --> 00:57:14,625
Miss Park,
this is General Brady at STRATCOM.
869
00:57:14,708 --> 00:57:16,708
Last time I checked,
870
00:57:17,208 --> 00:57:20,167
Moscow's not exactly
winning the game either.
871
00:57:20,250 --> 00:57:24,042
You're not wrong, sir.
The Russians are stretched and cornered.
872
00:57:24,125 --> 00:57:26,750
They've been coordinating
more closely with Beijing.
873
00:57:26,833 --> 00:57:29,791
They've grown far more aggressive
with their sub deployment.
874
00:57:30,291 --> 00:57:33,000
Where exactly in the Pacific
did the launch originate?
875
00:57:33,083 --> 00:57:35,167
We can't be precise, ma'am.
876
00:57:35,250 --> 00:57:37,375
DSP satellites missed it.
877
00:57:37,458 --> 00:57:38,875
You're fucking kidding?
878
00:57:38,958 --> 00:57:42,042
Why the hell does that matter?
We're tracking them now, aren't we?
879
00:57:42,125 --> 00:57:44,167
{\an8}Yes, uh, Mr. President, we are.
880
00:57:44,250 --> 00:57:47,083
It's just that blinding a DSP satellite,
881
00:57:47,166 --> 00:57:49,625
it could indicate
that we've been compromised.
882
00:57:49,708 --> 00:57:51,958
A cyber penetration
of our command-and-control systems.
883
00:57:52,041 --> 00:57:53,500
Seven, eight...
884
00:57:53,583 --> 00:57:57,292
Which would strongly suggest
a sophisticated, coordinated assault
885
00:57:57,375 --> 00:57:58,917
that is only just beginning.
886
00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:00,917
There's no hard evidence of that.
887
00:58:01,000 --> 00:58:02,292
We'd need more information.
888
00:58:02,375 --> 00:58:06,000
The Chinese navy has been experimenting
with AI-assisted launch systems,
889
00:58:06,083 --> 00:58:08,958
so this could be a technical mishap.
890
00:58:09,041 --> 00:58:12,083
All right, that's enough
of this. This is a waste of time.
891
00:58:12,166 --> 00:58:14,708
Sir, a... a cyber expert
could potentially...
892
00:58:14,791 --> 00:58:17,792
Yeah, well, find one, okay?
893
00:58:17,875 --> 00:58:20,416
EKV has separated from the first GBI.
894
00:58:21,416 --> 00:58:22,542
One minute to intercept.
895
00:58:22,625 --> 00:58:24,291
-Aiden!
-Boo!
896
00:58:25,416 --> 00:58:26,917
Ma'am, I'm disconnecting you now.
897
00:58:27,000 --> 00:58:29,625
-Okay.
-If you have a JEEP alert, get moving.
898
00:58:29,708 --> 00:58:31,375
Mom? What happened?
899
00:58:35,708 --> 00:58:37,250
Left! Right!
900
00:58:37,333 --> 00:58:38,833
Right! Right!
901
00:58:38,916 --> 00:58:41,208
Left! Right!
902
00:58:45,375 --> 00:58:47,583
At ease!
903
00:58:48,583 --> 00:58:49,916
Ten seconds.
904
00:58:50,791 --> 00:58:51,791
Nine.
905
00:58:52,375 --> 00:58:53,458
Eight.
906
00:58:53,541 --> 00:58:55,250
-Seven.
-Before, with the chips...
907
00:58:55,333 --> 00:58:57,458
-We're good, man. I'm a slob.
-Six. Five...
908
00:58:57,541 --> 00:58:59,916
To hell with her.
Shouldn't have left it like that.
909
00:59:00,416 --> 00:59:01,500
Three.
910
00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:03,458
-Two.
-Yeah.
911
00:59:04,083 --> 00:59:05,083
One.
912
00:59:13,875 --> 00:59:15,041
Confirm impact.
913
00:59:18,166 --> 00:59:20,500
-Confirm impact.
-Stand by. Confirming.
914
00:59:24,583 --> 00:59:26,375
What are you waiting for?
915
00:59:29,666 --> 00:59:31,333
-It's negative.
-What'd he say?
916
00:59:32,333 --> 00:59:33,625
What did he say?
917
00:59:34,666 --> 00:59:35,666
I, um...
918
00:59:36,875 --> 00:59:38,250
{\an8}Negative impact.
919
00:59:39,375 --> 00:59:40,875
Object remains inbound.
920
00:59:46,125 --> 00:59:49,291
Like Baker said... coin toss.
921
00:59:51,583 --> 00:59:54,083
{\an8}We did every fucking thing right.
922
00:59:54,166 --> 00:59:57,166
{\an8}Mr. President, confirming DEFCON 1, sir.
923
00:59:58,250 --> 01:00:01,167
Oh Jesus. We just went DEFCON 1.
924
01:00:01,250 --> 01:00:02,416
Confirming.
925
01:00:15,916 --> 01:00:17,041
What now, sir?
926
01:00:18,250 --> 01:00:19,750
There is no plan B.
927
01:00:20,416 --> 01:00:22,167
Yes, it's a negative.
928
01:00:22,250 --> 01:00:25,500
-What do we do now?
-I don't know. I don't know.
929
01:00:25,583 --> 01:00:26,833
Yes, confirming.
930
01:00:43,625 --> 01:00:45,375
Sir, Black Book's available.
931
01:00:48,500 --> 01:00:50,208
Why the hell is that book out, son?
932
01:00:50,291 --> 01:00:53,667
Mr. President, significant time
and expertise were devoted
933
01:00:53,750 --> 01:00:55,458
to designing these options.
934
01:00:55,541 --> 01:00:59,292
You'll find a range,
select, limited, and major,
935
01:00:59,375 --> 01:01:02,208
depending on the scale of the response
you feel is warranted.
936
01:01:02,291 --> 01:01:05,500
I suggest you allow
Lieutenant Commander Reeves to brief you.
937
01:01:06,000 --> 01:01:08,208
Three 055 Renhai-class destroyers
on the move.
938
01:01:08,291 --> 01:01:12,958
Jesus Christ. I got action in Khorramabad.
Sirens in Tel Aviv, sir.
939
01:01:13,041 --> 01:01:14,958
Everybody knows we missed.
940
01:01:16,666 --> 01:01:19,500
Mr. President, we're seeing
some concerning activity
941
01:01:19,583 --> 01:01:21,583
from our adversaries
on a number of fronts.
942
01:01:21,666 --> 01:01:24,000
More concerning
than a goddamn nuclear launch?
943
01:01:24,083 --> 01:01:28,917
Sir, the USS Virginia reports
it's just lost contact with its shadow,
944
01:01:29,000 --> 01:01:32,625
one of four Russian submarines
we're tracking in the North Atlantic,
945
01:01:32,708 --> 01:01:36,250
each presumably armed with 16 SLBMs.
946
01:01:36,333 --> 01:01:39,292
Until we know differently,
we have to assume this may get worse.
947
01:01:39,375 --> 01:01:43,000
{\an8}General Brady, I know
everyone's trying to do their jobs here,
948
01:01:43,541 --> 01:01:45,250
{\an8}but we need to slow the fuck down.
949
01:01:46,375 --> 01:01:47,542
President's right.
950
01:01:47,625 --> 01:01:49,750
There's no way
he can make an informed decision
951
01:01:49,833 --> 01:01:51,250
under these circumstances.
952
01:01:51,333 --> 01:01:53,708
Mr. President, Mr. Baerington,
953
01:01:53,791 --> 01:01:57,000
slowing down is one luxury
we just don't have.
954
01:01:57,708 --> 01:01:59,542
These are the circumstances.
955
01:01:59,625 --> 01:02:03,750
In little more than seven minutes,
we will lose the city of Chicago.
956
01:02:03,833 --> 01:02:05,750
I can't tell you why.
957
01:02:06,458 --> 01:02:09,750
Or why we're seeing
North Korea, Russia, China,
958
01:02:09,833 --> 01:02:13,375
Pakistan, and even Iran
raising their alerts
959
01:02:13,458 --> 01:02:16,875
and mobilizing their forces
across air, land, and sea.
960
01:02:18,083 --> 01:02:20,833
Perhaps, as Mr. Baerington
suggested earlier,
961
01:02:20,916 --> 01:02:24,750
they are simply and innocently
responding to our posture.
962
01:02:24,833 --> 01:02:26,333
It is also possible
963
01:02:26,416 --> 01:02:30,750
that they've seen our homeland
is about to absorb a catastrophic blow,
964
01:02:30,833 --> 01:02:33,417
and they are readying
to take advantage of that.
965
01:02:33,500 --> 01:02:37,250
Or this is all part of
a phased, coordinated assault,
966
01:02:37,333 --> 01:02:38,750
with far worse to come.
967
01:02:38,833 --> 01:02:40,333
I simply don't know.
968
01:02:40,416 --> 01:02:42,708
What I do know is this.
969
01:02:42,791 --> 01:02:48,292
If we do not take steps
to neutralize our enemies now,
970
01:02:48,375 --> 01:02:51,042
we will lose our window to do so.
971
01:02:51,125 --> 01:02:53,292
We can strike preemptively,
972
01:02:53,375 --> 01:02:57,250
or risk 100 ICBMs launching our way,
973
01:02:57,333 --> 01:03:01,083
at which time,
this war will have already been lost.
974
01:03:05,875 --> 01:03:07,375
{\an8}And if there is no war?
975
01:03:10,000 --> 01:03:10,750
If this is it?
976
01:03:10,833 --> 01:03:13,875
I think we'd all welcome
any indication of that.
977
01:03:13,958 --> 01:03:17,292
{\an8}As unfathomable as it was
just five minutes ago,
978
01:03:17,375 --> 01:03:19,583
{\an8}I'd accept the loss
of ten million Americans
979
01:03:19,666 --> 01:03:22,750
{\an8}if I could be absolutely certain
it stops there.
980
01:03:22,833 --> 01:03:27,167
Of course, in absence of that certainty,
we can all certainly say a prayer
981
01:03:27,250 --> 01:03:31,667
{\an8}and rely on the goodwill
of our adversaries to keep us safe.
982
01:03:31,750 --> 01:03:36,333
{\an8}Or we can hit their command centers,
silos, and bombers
983
01:03:36,416 --> 01:03:38,208
while they're still on the ground,
984
01:03:38,291 --> 01:03:42,333
eliminating their ability
to take further action against us.
985
01:03:44,666 --> 01:03:47,833
We've already lost
one American city today.
986
01:03:49,333 --> 01:03:50,542
How many more do you wanna risk?
987
01:03:50,625 --> 01:03:52,333
What kind of question is that?
988
01:03:53,625 --> 01:03:56,416
-This is insanity, okay?
-No, sir.
989
01:03:58,458 --> 01:03:59,958
This is reality.
990
01:04:00,541 --> 01:04:01,750
Six minutes to impact.
991
01:04:01,833 --> 01:04:05,125
It's Walker. She's got
the Russian foreign minister on the line.
992
01:04:05,208 --> 01:04:06,791
We can't merge the calls.
993
01:04:09,250 --> 01:04:10,250
Jake.
994
01:04:10,916 --> 01:04:12,875
Sit room has
the Russian foreign minister on the line,
995
01:04:12,958 --> 01:04:15,000
but we cannot merge the call.
996
01:04:15,750 --> 01:04:18,500
You need to pick up and take it.
997
01:04:19,791 --> 01:04:21,625
It has to be you.
998
01:04:23,208 --> 01:04:24,208
Okay?
999
01:04:24,833 --> 01:04:28,333
The president needs a reason
not to retaliate, okay? You give him one.
1000
01:04:31,083 --> 01:04:32,416
-You ready?
-Yeah.
1001
01:04:33,083 --> 01:04:34,250
Let's go.
1002
01:04:35,541 --> 01:04:37,375
This is Jake Baerington.
1003
01:04:37,458 --> 01:04:41,125
-I'm the deputy national security advisor.
-You authorized to speak?
1004
01:04:41,208 --> 01:04:44,500
I'm authorized to do whatever's necessary
to de-escalate this situation, sir.
1005
01:04:44,583 --> 01:04:48,792
Your bombers are airborne.
What kind of de-escalation is that?
1006
01:04:48,875 --> 01:04:50,208
Mr. Foreign Minister,
1007
01:04:50,291 --> 01:04:52,708
you have to understand
that's only a precaution.
1008
01:04:53,583 --> 01:04:55,375
Okay, our country is about to be hit
1009
01:04:55,458 --> 01:04:58,625
by an entirely unprecedented
and unprovoked attack.
1010
01:04:58,708 --> 01:05:00,792
Which we had nothing to do with.
1011
01:05:00,875 --> 01:05:02,250
Do I have your word?
1012
01:05:02,333 --> 01:05:05,250
Can I assure the president
that Russia has nothing to do with this,
1013
01:05:05,333 --> 01:05:08,542
they're not behind the launch,
and you will not seek to capitalize?
1014
01:05:08,625 --> 01:05:09,708
Yes.
1015
01:05:10,541 --> 01:05:11,875
And do I have your word
1016
01:05:12,541 --> 01:05:15,792
that you won't use it as an excuse
to wipe us out?
1017
01:05:15,875 --> 01:05:18,083
-That's ridiculous.
-Is it?
1018
01:05:18,166 --> 01:05:19,625
You might tell your president,
1019
01:05:19,708 --> 01:05:24,458
if your forces do not stand down,
we will be compelled to respond in kind.
1020
01:05:25,250 --> 01:05:28,000
You have a sub off our coast
that just slipped its shadow.
1021
01:05:28,083 --> 01:05:31,125
Order it to the surface
to identify its location
1022
01:05:31,208 --> 01:05:32,542
as a show of good faith.
1023
01:05:32,625 --> 01:05:34,708
So you can wipe it out of the water?
1024
01:05:34,791 --> 01:05:37,250
We are running out of time,
1025
01:05:37,333 --> 01:05:39,083
and my wife is six months...
1026
01:05:41,666 --> 01:05:42,583
Jake.
1027
01:05:42,666 --> 01:05:44,458
I'm sorry. Um...
1028
01:05:46,500 --> 01:05:47,667
Jake?
1029
01:05:47,750 --> 01:05:49,625
Listen, if we get this wrong,
1030
01:05:50,458 --> 01:05:52,375
none of us are gonna be alive tomorrow.
1031
01:05:52,458 --> 01:05:55,042
Now, if you're telling me
that you didn't do this,
1032
01:05:55,125 --> 01:05:56,458
and I believe you,
1033
01:05:56,541 --> 01:05:59,458
then I can promise you
we will not hit any Russian targets.
1034
01:05:59,541 --> 01:06:03,875
Can you promise me you will stand down
your long-range strategic assets?
1035
01:06:03,958 --> 01:06:06,875
Better. There'll be no retaliation at all.
1036
01:06:06,958 --> 01:06:08,042
I completely agree.
1037
01:06:08,125 --> 01:06:11,125
And I will push for that,
but that is not my decision, sir.
1038
01:06:11,208 --> 01:06:13,125
If you do retaliate,
1039
01:06:13,208 --> 01:06:18,000
can you guarantee that your response
will not infringe on our airspace?
1040
01:06:22,583 --> 01:06:24,917
With our bombers, yes, of course.
1041
01:06:25,000 --> 01:06:26,250
And missiles?
1042
01:06:26,333 --> 01:06:29,833
If you determine that, God,
fucking China is responsible...
1043
01:06:29,916 --> 01:06:32,083
-Sir, there...
-Tell the truth.
1044
01:06:32,791 --> 01:06:33,791
No.
1045
01:06:37,125 --> 01:06:39,583
Sir, we both know
that there would be some overflight.
1046
01:06:39,666 --> 01:06:41,083
There's no way around that.
1047
01:06:41,166 --> 01:06:43,833
And you expect us to simply trust
1048
01:06:43,916 --> 01:06:47,167
that warheads flying over our head
are not destined on our cities?
1049
01:06:47,250 --> 01:06:50,041
Hopefully, sir,
there will not be any warheads.
1050
01:06:51,000 --> 01:06:55,541
If there are, then, yes,
I'm asking you to trust me.
1051
01:06:59,458 --> 01:07:00,666
Trust.
1052
01:07:01,708 --> 01:07:02,708
Why?
1053
01:07:04,083 --> 01:07:06,250
-I'll talk to my president.
-What if, um...
1054
01:07:14,208 --> 01:07:15,792
Darkstar, this is Ghost 1.
1055
01:07:15,875 --> 01:07:17,625
Approaching loiter position.
1056
01:07:19,500 --> 01:07:21,667
Ghost 1-1, Darkstar. Picture clean.
1057
01:07:21,750 --> 01:07:23,458
Stand by mission data package.
1058
01:07:31,083 --> 01:07:32,666
Is this right?
1059
01:07:33,625 --> 01:07:35,833
Darkstar, Ghost. MDB confirmed.
1060
01:07:37,791 --> 01:07:40,333
Ghost, Darkstar. Stand by execution order.
1061
01:07:42,708 --> 01:07:45,167
Forward-deployed B-2s
are at loitering position.
1062
01:07:45,250 --> 01:07:47,833
Mr. President,
we're going to need your decision.
1063
01:07:48,333 --> 01:07:51,750
Lieutenant Commander Reeves
is your strike advisor
1064
01:07:52,250 --> 01:07:55,417
and can walk you through
the authentication process.
1065
01:07:55,500 --> 01:07:58,917
Then you'll need to read aloud
an attack option designation...
1066
01:07:59,000 --> 01:08:01,417
Yeah. Look,
I understand all that, all right?
1067
01:08:01,500 --> 01:08:03,708
Reid, I need you.
1068
01:08:05,583 --> 01:08:06,750
What do you think, Reid?
1069
01:08:06,833 --> 01:08:08,625
We're close to take off.
1070
01:08:08,708 --> 01:08:10,000
Did we lose him?
1071
01:08:11,000 --> 01:08:12,541
{\an8}Sir! No, no, no, no, sir!
1072
01:08:13,041 --> 01:08:14,833
{\an8}Holy shit!
1073
01:08:15,416 --> 01:08:16,833
-What was that?
-All right.
1074
01:08:16,916 --> 01:08:18,458
Mr. President?
1075
01:08:18,541 --> 01:08:21,292
-It's Jake again, sir. Baerington.
-Keep your seats. Keep your seats.
1076
01:08:21,375 --> 01:08:23,417
{\an8}I spoke to the Russian foreign minister.
1077
01:08:23,500 --> 01:08:26,958
He denies their responsibility
for the launch.
1078
01:08:27,625 --> 01:08:30,750
Said he spoke to Beijing,
and he doesn't think it was them either.
1079
01:08:33,416 --> 01:08:35,916
-I believed him, sir.
-You did?
1080
01:08:36,500 --> 01:08:39,666
-They gonna back down?
-Sir, I think that they want to.
1081
01:08:40,750 --> 01:08:43,333
And if we can guarantee
that we will not retaliate,
1082
01:08:43,416 --> 01:08:44,875
I think I can, uh...
1083
01:08:46,416 --> 01:08:48,333
we can convince them.
1084
01:08:48,416 --> 01:08:51,041
-What does that mean?
-We don't launch.
1085
01:08:51,958 --> 01:08:53,250
Against anyone.
1086
01:08:53,916 --> 01:08:54,917
For now, at least.
1087
01:08:55,000 --> 01:08:57,833
What, we just sit back
and watch Chicago incinerate?
1088
01:08:58,375 --> 01:09:01,583
{\an8}Are you fucking kidding me? Do you think
the American people are gonna go for that?
1089
01:09:01,666 --> 01:09:04,542
Sir, the... the warhead,
it might still malfunction.
1090
01:09:04,625 --> 01:09:06,250
They do that sometimes.
1091
01:09:06,333 --> 01:09:08,666
Did he agree to these terms?
1092
01:09:09,166 --> 01:09:12,208
All right, we do nothing,
they back off for certain?
1093
01:09:12,291 --> 01:09:14,292
-More or less.
-More or less?!
1094
01:09:14,375 --> 01:09:15,792
-Jake.
-Yes, sir.
1095
01:09:15,875 --> 01:09:17,750
I'm gonna need you to breathe.
1096
01:09:17,833 --> 01:09:18,958
I'm breathing just fine, sir.
1097
01:09:19,041 --> 01:09:22,583
Good 'cause my job is
to make this decision. I wish it weren't.
1098
01:09:22,666 --> 01:09:26,375
And your job is to tell me
exactly what he agreed to.
1099
01:09:27,250 --> 01:09:30,083
-No bullshit. Can you do that?
-He didn't agree to anything, sir.
1100
01:09:30,166 --> 01:09:32,083
He said
he needed to speak with his president.
1101
01:09:32,583 --> 01:09:34,958
Sounds to me like we know nothing new.
1102
01:09:35,041 --> 01:09:37,750
Wrong, General. If we do what he's asking,
1103
01:09:37,833 --> 01:09:39,917
if we hold back,
there's at least a chance.
1104
01:09:40,000 --> 01:09:41,458
Two minutes and 30 seconds.
1105
01:09:41,541 --> 01:09:44,583
Jake, Jake, I do what you're suggesting,
1106
01:09:45,791 --> 01:09:48,041
I let whoever did this get away with it.
1107
01:09:48,541 --> 01:09:50,417
How is that any different
from surrendering?
1108
01:09:50,500 --> 01:09:52,541
Sir, if you wanna look at it that way,
1109
01:09:53,166 --> 01:09:55,417
then I'm telling you your choices are
1110
01:09:55,500 --> 01:09:57,083
surrender or suicide.
1111
01:10:01,875 --> 01:10:03,000
Uh...
1112
01:10:08,333 --> 01:10:09,666
We gonna need a minute.
1113
01:10:11,833 --> 01:10:13,333
So what now? What are we doing?
1114
01:10:14,416 --> 01:10:15,958
Now I call Fort Belvoir.
1115
01:10:16,041 --> 01:10:18,666
Put the Army Corps of Engineers
on standby.
1116
01:10:19,666 --> 01:10:22,500
In case the White House gets hit
and they need to dig us out.
1117
01:10:22,583 --> 01:10:23,542
Oh God.
1118
01:10:23,625 --> 01:10:25,666
-Serious?
-That's the plan.
1119
01:10:27,583 --> 01:10:29,000
There's a plan for this?
1120
01:10:38,916 --> 01:10:40,375
If this order comes through...
1121
01:10:42,875 --> 01:10:44,375
I know my job, sir.
1122
01:11:00,166 --> 01:11:05,208
Romeo, Bravo, Juliett, Whiskey,
Delta, Foxtrot, Echo.
1123
01:11:05,291 --> 01:11:07,333
Missilization order is authentic.
1124
01:11:08,916 --> 01:11:10,417
Romeo, Bravo, Juliett,
1125
01:11:10,500 --> 01:11:13,042
Whiskey, Delta, Foxtrot, Echo.
1126
01:11:13,125 --> 01:11:14,583
I concur with missilization.
1127
01:11:15,666 --> 01:11:16,708
Three, two, one. Turn.
1128
01:11:16,791 --> 01:11:18,750
Sir, standing by for fire order.
1129
01:11:20,041 --> 01:11:22,083
Sir, your nuclear forces are ready.
1130
01:11:22,583 --> 01:11:24,708
-Sir, B-2s are at loiter.
-Yes, sir.
1131
01:11:24,791 --> 01:11:27,000
{\an8}Missile field status green.
1132
01:11:27,083 --> 01:11:28,916
{\an8}What if he doesn't come back on?
1133
01:11:30,541 --> 01:11:33,958
Decapitation event.
We find the vice president.
1134
01:11:34,041 --> 01:11:37,875
If we can't reach him, speaker.
Right on down the list.
1135
01:11:37,958 --> 01:11:39,166
I'm here.
1136
01:11:40,083 --> 01:11:42,916
-You'll need your SAS card, sir.
-Oh.
1137
01:11:45,708 --> 01:11:47,208
It's in here somewhere.
1138
01:11:48,041 --> 01:11:49,125
Right.
1139
01:11:50,041 --> 01:11:51,916
Reminds me of when I was in college.
1140
01:11:54,958 --> 01:11:57,208
You just, uh, read it aloud.
1141
01:11:59,708 --> 01:12:02,500
{\an8}November, Delta, Oscar.
1142
01:12:03,000 --> 01:12:05,917
{\an8}One, one, one, seven.
1143
01:12:06,000 --> 01:12:08,417
November, Delta, Oscar.
1144
01:12:08,500 --> 01:12:11,541
One, one, one, seven.
1145
01:12:13,333 --> 01:12:15,833
National command authority confirmed.
1146
01:12:17,625 --> 01:12:19,458
Your orders, Mr. President?
1147
01:12:20,208 --> 01:12:21,375
My orders?
1148
01:13:01,416 --> 01:13:03,708
You sure you don't want any coffee? Water?
1149
01:13:04,208 --> 01:13:05,625
No, thank you, ma'am.
1150
01:13:21,875 --> 01:13:24,083
Betty, can you get us the majority leader?
1151
01:13:24,166 --> 01:13:26,750
Quickly, please. Thanks.
1152
01:13:28,708 --> 01:13:30,500
Already 45 minutes late.
1153
01:13:33,583 --> 01:13:35,416
POTUS for majority leader, please.
1154
01:13:36,500 --> 01:13:37,500
Thank you.
1155
01:14:02,916 --> 01:14:04,625
That's looking more like it.
1156
01:14:22,125 --> 01:14:23,208
Nope.
1157
01:14:23,791 --> 01:14:25,125
Out playing nine.
1158
01:14:26,583 --> 01:14:28,041
It's going, I guess.
1159
01:14:28,541 --> 01:14:31,958
Last time I was around all these uniforms,
I was a private.
1160
01:14:32,583 --> 01:14:34,500
They're still full of shit.
1161
01:14:40,458 --> 01:14:42,500
Thanks, George. I appreciate that.
1162
01:14:43,625 --> 01:14:46,375
We were lucky to have 33 great years.
1163
01:14:47,083 --> 01:14:49,875
Meant the world you and Sheila
came to the funeral.
1164
01:14:52,083 --> 01:14:54,458
Okay, talk later.
1165
01:14:58,875 --> 01:14:59,875
Sir.
1166
01:15:01,000 --> 01:15:02,000
Sir.
1167
01:15:02,833 --> 01:15:04,208
-Thank you.
-Yeah.
1168
01:15:07,083 --> 01:15:08,583
Let's knock this in now.
1169
01:15:14,625 --> 01:15:16,833
Hey. I was hoping to catch you.
1170
01:15:17,541 --> 01:15:20,542
-I wish you were here to see this.
-Yeah? Is it going good?
1171
01:15:20,625 --> 01:15:23,625
They say anything
that raises awareness helps.
1172
01:15:23,708 --> 01:15:26,291
-Okay.
-You sound tired.
1173
01:15:26,791 --> 01:15:28,583
No. Um...
1174
01:15:29,208 --> 01:15:30,208
I'm fine.
1175
01:15:31,250 --> 01:15:35,000
My husband, the only politician
who can't lie to save his life.
1176
01:15:35,083 --> 01:15:36,875
Okay. I'm fucked.
1177
01:15:36,958 --> 01:15:39,208
You know, didn't they, uh,
1178
01:15:40,166 --> 01:15:41,791
promise that, uh,
1179
01:15:42,291 --> 01:15:44,042
we'd get used to it after a while?
1180
01:15:44,125 --> 01:15:47,000
"Worse than the campaign."
I think that's what I remember.
1181
01:15:47,083 --> 01:15:49,583
I think they said
it would break us, actually.
1182
01:15:49,666 --> 01:15:52,750
Oh, speaking of,
we have to talk about my mother.
1183
01:15:53,666 --> 01:15:56,333
Now the doctor's saying
she needs full-time help.
1184
01:15:59,291 --> 01:16:01,458
Hello? Are you there?
1185
01:16:01,958 --> 01:16:03,875
It's not just me. It's the doctor.
1186
01:16:03,958 --> 01:16:07,792
Okay. I mean, you know.
Let's do it when you come back, all right?
1187
01:16:07,875 --> 01:16:10,458
It's not fair that you got
the save-the-elephants high ground.
1188
01:16:11,458 --> 01:16:12,792
I always have the high ground.
1189
01:16:12,875 --> 01:16:15,583
-And don't you forget it, buddy.
-You all right though?
1190
01:16:15,666 --> 01:16:16,583
-Huh?
-Hey.
1191
01:16:16,666 --> 01:16:18,875
-You... you okay?
-Fine.
1192
01:16:19,458 --> 01:16:21,041
Can you hear me?
1193
01:16:26,375 --> 01:16:27,375
Hello?
1194
01:16:27,958 --> 01:16:29,333
Hon, can you hear me?
1195
01:16:31,416 --> 01:16:34,416
Bruce, what do we have, uh,
1196
01:16:35,166 --> 01:16:36,208
now?
1197
01:16:36,291 --> 01:16:37,666
-Basketball, sir.
-Oh.
1198
01:16:38,166 --> 01:16:42,166
-Is that, uh, Angel Reese still?
-Yeah, with the kids.
1199
01:16:42,750 --> 01:16:44,458
-You ready for that?
-Of course.
1200
01:16:44,541 --> 01:16:46,250
You been shooting around a little bit?
1201
01:16:46,333 --> 01:16:48,583
-You got a jump shot?
-Do I have a jump shot?
1202
01:16:48,666 --> 01:16:49,958
-Yeah.
-Little one.
1203
01:16:50,458 --> 01:16:52,041
-Maybe.
-Show me.
1204
01:16:53,250 --> 01:16:55,708
-Like, you wanna see it?
-Don't sh... No, Bruce, no.
1205
01:16:55,791 --> 01:16:57,375
-Okay.
-Hey, Betty.
1206
01:16:58,541 --> 01:17:00,250
Can you, uh...
1207
01:17:01,166 --> 01:17:06,417
Can you ask the, uh, guy
to put the insole in this thing?
1208
01:17:06,500 --> 01:17:09,666
-It slipped out again?
-Just, I don't know what's going on.
1209
01:17:53,333 --> 01:17:54,500
Oh God.
1210
01:18:09,166 --> 01:18:12,042
What's the name
of the school that, uh... the class?
1211
01:18:12,125 --> 01:18:15,916
-The Jump Shot Girls Basketball Camp, sir.
-Jump Shot. Jump Shot.
1212
01:18:16,625 --> 01:18:19,708
-How's your jump shot, Ken?
-It's not bad, sir.
1213
01:18:20,625 --> 01:18:21,666
How about yours?
1214
01:18:22,375 --> 01:18:23,750
I don't have the knees.
1215
01:18:32,166 --> 01:18:35,667
After the budget signing, I've
slotted some prep time for the hearing.
1216
01:18:35,750 --> 01:18:37,708
-Oh, which one is that?
-House Oversight.
1217
01:18:37,791 --> 01:18:40,166
-Red Sea shipping task force.
-Right.
1218
01:18:41,208 --> 01:18:42,208
Sure.
1219
01:18:43,416 --> 01:18:44,416
Okay.
1220
01:18:45,333 --> 01:18:46,708
Whose ass am I kissing first?
1221
01:18:46,791 --> 01:18:49,000
Senator Cunningham. Democrat. Connecticut.
1222
01:18:49,083 --> 01:18:51,708
He supported the additional funding
from the start.
1223
01:18:54,416 --> 01:18:56,166
This is Secretary Baker.
1224
01:19:15,791 --> 01:19:16,875
Icon arriving.
1225
01:19:20,875 --> 01:19:21,958
How's my tie?
1226
01:19:22,708 --> 01:19:23,833
Looks good, sir.
1227
01:19:24,750 --> 01:19:27,208
All right.
1228
01:19:28,000 --> 01:19:30,416
Mr. President. Mr. President.
1229
01:19:31,958 --> 01:19:34,583
Who's your favorite WNBA star, sir?
1230
01:19:39,333 --> 01:19:41,583
Mr. President, how's it going today?
1231
01:19:42,166 --> 01:19:43,250
Feeling good.
1232
01:19:44,625 --> 01:19:47,875
Mr. President, I look forward
to shooting around.
1233
01:19:47,958 --> 01:19:51,417
Mr. President, who has
a better three-point shot, you or Angel?
1234
01:19:51,500 --> 01:19:54,708
That's a... Is that a trick question?
1235
01:19:55,208 --> 01:19:57,166
Trying to set me up. Okay. I know.
1236
01:19:59,041 --> 01:20:00,375
Do you think you can take her?
1237
01:20:00,458 --> 01:20:04,000
-One more question for you.
-I don't know about that.
1238
01:20:06,041 --> 01:20:07,375
All right.
1239
01:20:09,541 --> 01:20:11,500
The hurt doesn't show
1240
01:20:12,125 --> 01:20:13,500
But the pain still grows...
1241
01:20:13,583 --> 01:20:17,125
Ladies and gentlemen,
the President of the United States.
1242
01:20:18,958 --> 01:20:20,167
How's everybody doing?
1243
01:20:20,250 --> 01:20:24,417
I can feel it
Coming in the air tonight...
1244
01:20:24,500 --> 01:20:27,750
How's it going? How you doing?
Good to see you. Good to see you.
1245
01:20:28,875 --> 01:20:30,125
How you doing? Nice to see you.
1246
01:20:30,208 --> 01:20:33,333
I've been waiting for this moment
1247
01:20:33,416 --> 01:20:35,541
For all my life...
1248
01:20:36,583 --> 01:20:37,958
What's up, man? How you doing?
1249
01:20:40,458 --> 01:20:43,875
I can feel it in the air tonight
1250
01:20:43,958 --> 01:20:46,125
Oh Lord
1251
01:20:46,750 --> 01:20:49,666
- Oh Lord
- Good. Good to see you. All right.
1252
01:20:50,541 --> 01:20:52,083
And I've been waiting for...
1253
01:20:52,166 --> 01:20:53,417
-Hey, Angel.
-Hey.
1254
01:20:53,500 --> 01:20:54,500
I came to play.
1255
01:20:54,583 --> 01:20:57,083
-It's an honor to have you.
-Really good to meet you.
1256
01:20:57,166 --> 01:20:59,708
Hey, everybody.
Put 'em up. Let's go. Let's go.
1257
01:20:59,791 --> 01:21:04,083
Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.
Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.
1258
01:21:06,250 --> 01:21:07,750
Oh, you want... Me?
1259
01:21:07,833 --> 01:21:08,792
Me?
1260
01:21:08,875 --> 01:21:10,250
Come on.
1261
01:21:11,333 --> 01:21:13,291
Okay, let's see, let's see, let's see.
1262
01:21:13,958 --> 01:21:14,917
Oh!
1263
01:21:15,000 --> 01:21:18,083
One more. One more.
Okay, one more. Let's see.
1264
01:21:19,083 --> 01:21:20,333
I'm just warming up, okay?
1265
01:21:20,416 --> 01:21:22,125
-Take your time.
-Mm-hmm.
1266
01:21:29,416 --> 01:21:32,000
-That was good. That was good.
-That was good.
1267
01:21:32,083 --> 01:21:34,750
Well, it's really nice to be here.
I'm really glad to be here.
1268
01:21:34,833 --> 01:21:37,000
How's it feel
to have the morning off school?
1269
01:21:37,500 --> 01:21:40,333
Feel good? Let me see your shot.
You got a shot for me?
1270
01:21:40,416 --> 01:21:42,833
Go ahead. Let me see the ball. Let's see.
1271
01:21:46,875 --> 01:21:49,291
Oh!
1272
01:21:51,125 --> 01:21:54,542
That's great. I'll have my office
call over with some dates.
1273
01:21:54,625 --> 01:21:57,125
-Reviewed. Here are my notes.
-Thanks, Senator.
1274
01:21:57,208 --> 01:22:00,000
-Let's get ready to present.
-Sir, whizzer's on the line.
1275
01:22:03,208 --> 01:22:06,333
-You can use your SAS card.
-Sure. Okay.
1276
01:22:09,208 --> 01:22:13,000
-This is Secretary Baker.
-Authenticate, sir.
1277
01:22:13,083 --> 01:22:15,708
Bravo 19416.
1278
01:22:15,791 --> 01:22:18,500
They said I gotta
teach you something, and I'm...
1279
01:22:18,583 --> 01:22:21,125
I'm not gonna teach you to shoot.
I know you can do that.
1280
01:22:21,208 --> 01:22:25,667
But, uh, I wanna tell you a little story
about how sports helped change my life.
1281
01:22:25,750 --> 01:22:29,292
Growing up, I wasn't athletic
like... like Angel here.
1282
01:22:29,375 --> 01:22:31,500
I wasn't athletic.
I couldn't play football.
1283
01:22:32,500 --> 01:22:34,083
I hear you're rotating out next month.
1284
01:22:34,166 --> 01:22:36,292
My mom and pop had, you know, a store...
1285
01:22:36,375 --> 01:22:37,750
Back to Omaha.
1286
01:22:39,541 --> 01:22:41,250
I bet you're gonna miss this.
1287
01:22:42,166 --> 01:22:45,458
-Standing around while the star performs.
-Show me your shot. Go ahead.
1288
01:22:46,041 --> 01:22:48,042
He took his time, see?
1289
01:22:48,125 --> 01:22:49,750
Yeah! Yeah!
1290
01:22:51,583 --> 01:22:52,708
Now...
1291
01:22:53,458 --> 01:22:54,625
This is my third.
1292
01:22:56,291 --> 01:22:59,208
They're all chronically late narcissists.
1293
01:23:00,333 --> 01:23:02,166
At least this one reads the newspaper.
1294
01:23:04,250 --> 01:23:06,125
My understanding was
we initiate on launch.
1295
01:23:06,208 --> 01:23:08,917
Get people moving.
Can we get a legal opinion on that?
1296
01:23:09,000 --> 01:23:11,583
Yeah, I'm not sure that's right, Reid.
1297
01:23:11,666 --> 01:23:14,500
In fact, I'm damn near certain
the president has COG.
1298
01:23:14,583 --> 01:23:17,000
Well, I'm issuing the order.
1299
01:23:17,875 --> 01:23:20,833
Plenty of time to sort it later,
and if you're gonna start moving people,
1300
01:23:20,916 --> 01:23:23,250
I don't wanna be caught
with our pants down.
1301
01:23:23,333 --> 01:23:25,292
I have an updated impact estimate.
1302
01:23:25,375 --> 01:23:26,833
Go ahead, Tony.
1303
01:23:27,500 --> 01:23:30,208
Low probability. Louisville, St. Louis.
1304
01:23:30,708 --> 01:23:33,000
Medium. Chicago, Indianapolis.
1305
01:23:33,500 --> 01:23:35,708
High. Cleveland, Columbus.
1306
01:23:35,791 --> 01:23:39,250
That's primary, of course.
Still assessing the prevailing winds.
1307
01:23:39,333 --> 01:23:40,666
Jesus Christ.
1308
01:23:41,666 --> 01:23:45,208
This is why we have the GBIs.
No need to panic people.
1309
01:23:45,708 --> 01:23:47,208
Did you say Chicago?
1310
01:23:47,291 --> 01:23:50,041
Uh, yes. In the medium bucket.
1311
01:23:51,333 --> 01:23:53,208
My daughter lives in Chicago.
1312
01:23:53,291 --> 01:23:55,542
If our country's gonna fix
the world's problems,
1313
01:23:55,625 --> 01:23:57,583
we're gonna have to work together.
1314
01:23:58,083 --> 01:24:02,375
-Teamwork, as we have been talking about.
-Hello?
1315
01:24:02,458 --> 01:24:07,125
I also think
that I won't get to play for Team USA.
1316
01:24:07,208 --> 01:24:09,208
-Yeah. Hey.
-Hello?
1317
01:24:09,291 --> 01:24:12,333
We need to pull him. Quickly if we can.
1318
01:24:12,833 --> 01:24:15,083
-What the hell's going on?
-I don't know.
1319
01:24:15,166 --> 01:24:16,875
Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!
1320
01:24:17,500 --> 01:24:19,917
- Just like the white-winged dove
- We gotta go.
1321
01:24:20,000 --> 01:24:21,917
Sings the song
Sounds like she's singing...
1322
01:24:22,000 --> 01:24:23,083
Move! Move!
1323
01:24:24,916 --> 01:24:27,041
-What's happening?
-Calm down.
1324
01:24:28,791 --> 01:24:29,791
Come on.
1325
01:24:33,541 --> 01:24:34,875
What the fuck, Ken?
1326
01:24:37,333 --> 01:24:39,500
I'm connecting you to an NSCC.
1327
01:24:41,291 --> 01:24:43,625
The United States is under attack, sir.
1328
01:24:49,083 --> 01:24:51,250
So it's a fucking coin toss?
1329
01:24:51,750 --> 01:24:54,208
That's what $50 billion buys us?
1330
01:24:54,291 --> 01:24:56,583
{\an8}We're talking about
hitting a bullet with a bullet.
1331
01:24:56,666 --> 01:24:59,167
{\an8}Hello? Hello? Can anyone hear me?
1332
01:24:59,250 --> 01:25:02,458
Mr. President... let's
get you up to speed.
1333
01:25:10,875 --> 01:25:13,333
-So it could be a mistake.
-On our end or...
1334
01:25:13,416 --> 01:25:14,416
Lindsay!
1335
01:25:15,166 --> 01:25:17,042
We need to find
the nearest base to Chicago.
1336
01:25:17,125 --> 01:25:19,667
-I don't think there is one.
-Anywhere that has a helicopter.
1337
01:25:19,750 --> 01:25:21,833
-I can try National Guard.
-Find Carrie.
1338
01:25:21,916 --> 01:25:25,000
-I'll try. I will call.
-They're saying it's 15 minutes. Hurry.
1339
01:25:26,958 --> 01:25:28,291
Reid, are you still there?
1340
01:25:29,208 --> 01:25:31,083
Yeah, uh, yeah. Yeah, I'm here.
1341
01:25:31,791 --> 01:25:32,750
Oh.
1342
01:25:32,833 --> 01:25:35,333
-Yeah, I'm here. I'm here.
-What do you make of this?
1343
01:25:35,416 --> 01:25:37,500
- I really don't know
- Don't know?
1344
01:25:37,583 --> 01:25:39,291
You're running the fucking Pentagon.
1345
01:25:40,083 --> 01:25:42,542
They had one briefing
when I was sworn in. One.
1346
01:25:42,625 --> 01:25:44,416
And they told me that's the protocol.
1347
01:25:44,916 --> 01:25:46,583
They told me the same thing.
1348
01:25:47,250 --> 01:25:50,292
Shit, I got a whole fucking briefing
on when a Supreme Court justice dies.
1349
01:25:50,375 --> 01:25:54,042
Replacement. Replacement for what happens
if the replacement drops out.
1350
01:25:54,125 --> 01:25:56,167
Shit, what to do if the original guy
1351
01:25:56,250 --> 01:25:58,458
crawls out of his grave
and wants his job back.
1352
01:25:58,541 --> 01:26:01,000
We focused on more likely scenarios.
1353
01:26:01,083 --> 01:26:03,000
Things we might actually
have to deal with.
1354
01:26:03,083 --> 01:26:04,250
Yeah, with this.
1355
01:26:04,333 --> 01:26:06,792
Best I can remember, we follow the steps.
1356
01:26:06,875 --> 01:26:08,917
We... we're following procedure.
1357
01:26:09,000 --> 01:26:11,542
Negative. That's 20 minutes
from the South Lawn.
1358
01:26:11,625 --> 01:26:13,458
-Go to Andrews.
-Anna. It's Jake.
1359
01:26:13,541 --> 01:26:15,250
Jake. I just got a JEEP alert.
1360
01:26:15,333 --> 01:26:17,250
You're on an NSCC with the president.
1361
01:26:17,333 --> 01:26:20,750
-I'm sorry, what?
-Hey, Miss Park. This is the president.
1362
01:26:21,583 --> 01:26:23,917
I understand that you're...
you're the expert.
1363
01:26:24,000 --> 01:26:25,666
There was a launch, A...
1364
01:26:37,041 --> 01:26:38,417
-Hi.
-Hey, leave a message.
1365
01:26:38,500 --> 01:26:40,666
Please don't send me to voicemail.
1366
01:26:41,166 --> 01:26:44,208
It's your father.
It's an emergency. Call me.
1367
01:26:50,791 --> 01:26:52,000
Did you reach anyone?
1368
01:26:52,083 --> 01:26:54,416
I'm on with Great Lakes Naval Station.
1369
01:26:55,083 --> 01:26:58,042
-Maybe they can trace her phone.
-Transport's ready. Let's go, sir.
1370
01:26:58,125 --> 01:27:00,375
-Go where?
-NMCC's initiated Ivy Pulse.
1371
01:27:00,458 --> 01:27:02,667
-Helo's inbound.
-I didn't ask for that.
1372
01:27:02,750 --> 01:27:05,625
-What about this call?
-Thank you. Hold on. What's happening?
1373
01:27:05,708 --> 01:27:08,500
-I'm supposed to stay on.
-The secretary needs to evacuate.
1374
01:27:08,583 --> 01:27:10,750
All right, can I speak to you
in the hallway, please?
1375
01:27:11,416 --> 01:27:13,458
...enough of this.
This is a waste of time.
1376
01:27:13,541 --> 01:27:15,875
Sir, a cyber expert could potentially...
1377
01:27:15,958 --> 01:27:18,583
Yeah, well, find one, okay?
1378
01:27:18,666 --> 01:27:21,666
EKV has separated from the first GBI.
1379
01:27:22,291 --> 01:27:23,708
One minute to intercept.
1380
01:27:28,583 --> 01:27:30,083
This better fucking work.
1381
01:27:47,416 --> 01:27:48,958
How will we know, Tony?
1382
01:27:49,041 --> 01:27:50,083
Give me a second.
1383
01:27:50,166 --> 01:27:52,458
We'll get the MDB on speaker
from Fort Greely.
1384
01:27:59,583 --> 01:28:01,500
Four minutes to the LZ, sir.
1385
01:28:02,333 --> 01:28:03,708
Ten seconds.
1386
01:28:04,500 --> 01:28:05,500
Nine.
1387
01:28:06,000 --> 01:28:08,750
-Eight. Seven.
-Listen, with the chips...
1388
01:28:08,833 --> 01:28:11,042
-We're good, man. I'm a slob.
-Six. Five...
1389
01:28:11,125 --> 01:28:13,500
To hell with her.
Shouldn't have left it like that.
1390
01:28:14,083 --> 01:28:15,083
Three.
1391
01:28:15,583 --> 01:28:16,583
Two.
1392
01:28:17,583 --> 01:28:18,708
One.
1393
01:28:27,458 --> 01:28:30,625
Confirm impact.
1394
01:28:31,875 --> 01:28:34,125
-Confirm impact.
-Stand by. Confirming.
1395
01:28:37,541 --> 01:28:39,250
Come on. What are you waiting for?
1396
01:28:42,458 --> 01:28:44,208
-It's negative.
-What'd he say?
1397
01:28:45,250 --> 01:28:46,333
What'd he say?
1398
01:28:47,666 --> 01:28:48,666
I, uh...
1399
01:28:49,375 --> 01:28:50,541
A negative impact.
1400
01:28:51,583 --> 01:28:53,083
Object remains inbound.
1401
01:29:01,791 --> 01:29:03,958
We did every fucking thing right.
1402
01:29:04,458 --> 01:29:07,416
Mr. President, confirming DEFCON 1, sir.
1403
01:29:08,041 --> 01:29:10,417
Oh Jesus. We just went DEFCON 1.
1404
01:29:10,500 --> 01:29:12,625
-Okay.
-Negative impact.
1405
01:29:12,708 --> 01:29:13,750
Confirming.
1406
01:29:13,833 --> 01:29:15,041
Uh...
1407
01:29:20,666 --> 01:29:23,791
Major, confirm the release
of two additional GBIs to intercept.
1408
01:29:27,041 --> 01:29:28,625
Why the hell is that book out, son?
1409
01:29:28,708 --> 01:29:32,083
Mr. President, significant time
and expertise were devoted
1410
01:29:32,166 --> 01:29:33,875
to designing these options.
1411
01:29:33,958 --> 01:29:37,208
You'll find a range,
select, limited, and major,
1412
01:29:37,291 --> 01:29:40,125
depending on the scale of the response
you feel is warranted.
1413
01:29:40,208 --> 01:29:43,542
I suggest you allow
Lieutenant Commander Reeves to brief you.
1414
01:29:43,625 --> 01:29:47,500
Per the provisions
of OPLAN 8044, Revision 25,
1415
01:29:47,583 --> 01:29:51,000
the NMCC requests authority
to initiate a counterstrike.
1416
01:29:51,666 --> 01:29:53,708
The green tab are SAOs,
1417
01:29:53,791 --> 01:29:55,750
yellow, LAOs,
1418
01:29:55,833 --> 01:29:57,333
and red, MAOs.
1419
01:29:57,416 --> 01:30:00,417
Within each section,
your options are organized by region.
1420
01:30:00,500 --> 01:30:03,958
On each page,
you'll find a designation number,
1421
01:30:04,041 --> 01:30:06,666
both a map and a list of targets,
1422
01:30:07,291 --> 01:30:09,500
along with enemy casualty estimates.
1423
01:30:10,000 --> 01:30:11,750
Where would you like to begin, sir?
1424
01:30:12,625 --> 01:30:15,417
Mr. President, we're seeing
some concerning activity
1425
01:30:15,500 --> 01:30:17,500
from our adversaries
on a number of fronts.
1426
01:30:17,583 --> 01:30:20,208
More concerning
than a goddamn nuclear launch?
1427
01:30:20,291 --> 01:30:21,458
-Please stop.
-Carrie.
1428
01:30:21,541 --> 01:30:23,667
-I told you, I need space.
-I know. I...
1429
01:30:23,750 --> 01:30:25,625
-Where are you?
-I'm not doing this now.
1430
01:30:25,708 --> 01:30:27,458
Carrie, please.
1431
01:30:27,541 --> 01:30:29,667
I'm home, about to leave for rehearsal.
1432
01:30:29,750 --> 01:30:31,833
Look, can I call you later?
1433
01:30:32,416 --> 01:30:34,958
My therapist actually thinks that...
1434
01:30:37,375 --> 01:30:40,375
I know we have to talk at some point.
1435
01:30:42,041 --> 01:30:45,500
With Mom, it's just been a lot, okay?
1436
01:30:46,125 --> 01:30:47,125
I know.
1437
01:30:49,458 --> 01:30:50,625
You coming, hon?
1438
01:30:51,291 --> 01:30:53,750
-Yeah, I'm coming. I have to go.
-We're gonna be late.
1439
01:30:53,833 --> 01:30:56,541
-Who is that?
-A friend.
1440
01:30:57,791 --> 01:30:59,416
I'm seeing someone.
1441
01:31:00,958 --> 01:31:02,875
-You are?
-Yeah.
1442
01:31:03,708 --> 01:31:05,125
Is it serious?
1443
01:31:05,208 --> 01:31:07,625
-Come on.
-Well, is it?
1444
01:31:08,916 --> 01:31:10,416
Yeah, I think so.
1445
01:31:12,208 --> 01:31:13,875
He's going with you to work?
1446
01:31:14,458 --> 01:31:16,541
We walk together.
It's in the same direction.
1447
01:31:20,083 --> 01:31:21,083
Good.
1448
01:31:22,250 --> 01:31:23,333
That's good.
1449
01:31:24,375 --> 01:31:27,500
You're being really strange.
I'll call you when I can, okay?
1450
01:31:28,083 --> 01:31:30,000
-I love you, Carrie.
-Goodbye, Dad.
1451
01:31:36,125 --> 01:31:37,125
Okay.
1452
01:31:41,041 --> 01:31:43,208
Sir, I insist that you leave.
1453
01:31:45,375 --> 01:31:47,125
Sir, sorry. I've transferred the call.
1454
01:31:47,208 --> 01:31:48,417
You need to leave now.
1455
01:31:48,500 --> 01:31:50,166
Sir.
1456
01:31:58,208 --> 01:32:01,166
We've already lost
one American city today.
1457
01:32:02,708 --> 01:32:05,833
-How many more do you wanna risk?
-What kind of fucking question is that?
1458
01:32:07,625 --> 01:32:10,000
This is insanity, okay?
1459
01:32:10,083 --> 01:32:11,083
No, sir.
1460
01:32:13,125 --> 01:32:14,625
This is reality.
1461
01:32:15,166 --> 01:32:17,041
Six minutes to impact.
1462
01:32:19,083 --> 01:32:22,500
-What's your name?
-Lieutenant Commander Reeves, sir.
1463
01:32:24,208 --> 01:32:25,750
How old are you, man?
1464
01:32:25,833 --> 01:32:27,750
Uh, 32, sir.
1465
01:32:28,333 --> 01:32:29,583
Got a family?
1466
01:32:31,208 --> 01:32:32,625
I have a wife, sir.
1467
01:32:57,333 --> 01:32:58,708
Icon arriving.
1468
01:33:20,708 --> 01:33:23,000
Andrews tower, Marine One taking off.
1469
01:33:34,375 --> 01:33:35,583
Eighty-nine targets,
1470
01:33:35,666 --> 01:33:39,042
mostly military installations
and leadership sites.
1471
01:33:39,125 --> 01:33:42,458
As of last month,
we have a B-2 squadron forward-deployed.
1472
01:33:42,541 --> 01:33:44,875
We'll also employ our Ohio-class subs,
1473
01:33:44,958 --> 01:33:49,375
each with 24 Trident II D5
MIRV-equipped ballistic missiles.
1474
01:33:50,083 --> 01:33:52,750
This option calls for
a dozen Minutemen as well, out of Warren.
1475
01:33:52,833 --> 01:33:55,083
How does this make sure
we're not hit again?
1476
01:33:55,958 --> 01:33:58,333
When I woke up this morning,
we were certain
1477
01:33:58,833 --> 01:34:01,417
the North Koreans
could not launch from a sub.
1478
01:34:01,500 --> 01:34:03,167
Now maybe they can. What the fuck?
1479
01:34:03,250 --> 01:34:05,708
The plan assumes
our target list is incomplete.
1480
01:34:05,791 --> 01:34:08,375
But by taking out the most critical
command and control centers,
1481
01:34:08,458 --> 01:34:09,542
it lowers the chance...
1482
01:34:09,625 --> 01:34:13,083
Or it provokes one, right?
1483
01:34:14,291 --> 01:34:15,333
Um...
1484
01:34:16,333 --> 01:34:20,292
My job is to explain your options and
execute your orders. I'm not qualified...
1485
01:34:20,375 --> 01:34:22,625
You carry this all day.
I've never seen it before.
1486
01:34:22,708 --> 01:34:25,875
It's like a fucking diner menu.
I'm asking for your help, son.
1487
01:34:29,541 --> 01:34:33,250
I actually call them
rare, medium, and well-done.
1488
01:34:35,500 --> 01:34:38,541
-It's sick, I know.
-Illustrates the point.
1489
01:34:40,166 --> 01:34:42,750
I sit still. Do nothing for now.
1490
01:34:43,250 --> 01:34:46,708
You can.
Hope this is a fluke or a one-off.
1491
01:34:46,791 --> 01:34:49,000
That whoever did this just stops.
1492
01:34:57,416 --> 01:34:58,916
God give you any answers?
1493
01:34:59,541 --> 01:35:00,541
Uh...
1494
01:35:00,958 --> 01:35:03,041
Not looking for one, sir. I just...
1495
01:35:04,083 --> 01:35:05,417
Sorry, sir.
1496
01:35:05,500 --> 01:35:07,958
Don't apologize. I go to church. I just...
1497
01:35:09,833 --> 01:35:11,333
I haven't for a while.
1498
01:35:13,208 --> 01:35:16,708
I always thought having you
follow me around with that book of plans
1499
01:35:16,791 --> 01:35:18,416
for weapons like that...
1500
01:35:18,916 --> 01:35:20,875
Just being ready is the point, right?
1501
01:35:20,958 --> 01:35:23,958
Keeps people in check.
Keeps the world straight.
1502
01:35:24,041 --> 01:35:28,750
If they see how prepared we are,
no one starts a nuclear war, right?
1503
01:35:29,250 --> 01:35:32,375
Like you said before, it's insanity.
1504
01:35:33,875 --> 01:35:35,125
But someone did.
1505
01:35:36,458 --> 01:35:37,958
So none of this makes sense.
1506
01:35:39,416 --> 01:35:40,792
Unless it was a mistake.
1507
01:35:40,875 --> 01:35:42,166
But the genie's out.
1508
01:35:42,833 --> 01:35:46,041
If we do nothing, the bad guys see
that they can get away with it.
1509
01:35:47,875 --> 01:35:49,500
I listened to this podcast,
1510
01:35:50,333 --> 01:35:52,042
and the guy said, uh,
1511
01:35:52,125 --> 01:35:55,875
"It's like we all built
a house filled with dynamite."
1512
01:35:57,166 --> 01:35:59,333
Making all these bombs
and all these plans, and
1513
01:35:59,833 --> 01:36:01,833
the walls are just ready to blow.
1514
01:36:02,416 --> 01:36:04,041
But we kept on living in it.
1515
01:36:14,000 --> 01:36:17,166
If you're gonna hit back, sir...
1516
01:36:20,375 --> 01:36:21,708
MAO7
1517
01:36:22,833 --> 01:36:24,083
or MAO9.
1518
01:36:25,458 --> 01:36:28,500
End it now, once and for all.
1519
01:36:29,833 --> 01:36:32,250
It's the best chance
some of us survive this.
1520
01:36:37,625 --> 01:36:40,166
Mr. President,
we're going to need your decision.
1521
01:36:40,833 --> 01:36:43,833
Lieutenant Commander Reeves
is your strike advisor
1522
01:36:44,541 --> 01:36:47,667
and can walk you through
the authentication process.
1523
01:36:47,750 --> 01:36:52,125
Then you'll need to read aloud
an attack option designation.
1524
01:36:56,958 --> 01:36:59,375
Reid, I need you...
1525
01:37:01,083 --> 01:37:02,291
What do you think, Reid?
1526
01:37:03,958 --> 01:37:05,333
Wait. Did we lose him?
1527
01:37:05,916 --> 01:37:08,750
Good morning, Mr. Secretary.
We're prepped and ready for takeoff.
1528
01:37:08,833 --> 01:37:10,458
Sir, where are you going?
1529
01:37:11,041 --> 01:37:12,625
No, no, no, no, no, sir!
1530
01:37:13,166 --> 01:37:14,333
Holy shit!
1531
01:37:14,916 --> 01:37:16,083
What was that?
1532
01:37:17,375 --> 01:37:21,417
Mr. President?
It's Jake, uh, again, sir. Uh, Baerington.
1533
01:37:21,500 --> 01:37:23,708
I just spoke
to the Russian foreign minister.
1534
01:37:23,791 --> 01:37:27,041
He denies their responsibility
for the launch.
1535
01:37:27,833 --> 01:37:31,375
Said he spoke to Beijing,
and he doesn't think it was them either.
1536
01:37:33,500 --> 01:37:36,000
-I believed him, sir.
-You did?
1537
01:37:37,500 --> 01:37:38,458
They gonna back down?
1538
01:37:38,541 --> 01:37:40,541
Sir, I think that they want to.
1539
01:37:41,625 --> 01:37:44,083
And if we can guarantee
that we will not retaliate,
1540
01:37:44,166 --> 01:37:45,750
I think I can, uh...
1541
01:37:47,208 --> 01:37:49,500
we can convince them.
1542
01:37:49,583 --> 01:37:52,291
-What... what does that mean?
-That we don't launch.
1543
01:37:52,791 --> 01:37:54,041
Against anyone.
1544
01:37:54,750 --> 01:37:55,750
For now, at least.
1545
01:37:55,833 --> 01:37:58,666
So we just sit back
and watch Chicago incinerate?
1546
01:37:59,250 --> 01:38:02,417
Are you kidding me? Do you think
the American people are gonna go for that?
1547
01:38:02,500 --> 01:38:05,542
Sir, the... the warhead,
it might still malfunction.
1548
01:38:05,625 --> 01:38:07,083
They do that sometimes.
1549
01:38:07,166 --> 01:38:09,833
Did he agree to these terms?
1550
01:38:10,333 --> 01:38:13,083
All right, we do nothing,
they back off for certain?
1551
01:38:13,166 --> 01:38:15,000
-More or less.
-More or less?!
1552
01:38:15,708 --> 01:38:17,208
-Jake.
-Yes, sir.
1553
01:38:17,291 --> 01:38:19,042
I'm gonna need you to breathe.
1554
01:38:19,125 --> 01:38:20,375
I'm breathing fine.
1555
01:38:20,458 --> 01:38:23,916
Good 'cause my job is
to make this decision. I wish it weren't.
1556
01:38:24,416 --> 01:38:27,833
And your job is to tell me
exactly what he agreed to.
1557
01:38:28,458 --> 01:38:29,458
All right?
1558
01:38:30,208 --> 01:38:32,917
-No bullshit. Can you do that?
-He didn't agree to anything.
1559
01:38:33,000 --> 01:38:34,958
He said he needed
to speak with his president.
1560
01:38:35,541 --> 01:38:37,750
Sounds to me like we know nothing new.
1561
01:38:37,833 --> 01:38:39,083
Wrong, General.
1562
01:38:39,166 --> 01:38:40,583
If we do what he's asking,
1563
01:38:40,666 --> 01:38:42,833
if we hold back,
there's at least a chance.
1564
01:38:42,916 --> 01:38:44,667
Two minutes and 30 seconds.
1565
01:38:44,750 --> 01:38:50,166
Jake, I do what you're suggesting,
I let whoever did this get away with it.
1566
01:38:50,916 --> 01:38:52,792
How is that any different
from surrendering?
1567
01:38:52,875 --> 01:38:54,916
Sir, if you wanna look at it that way,
1568
01:38:55,666 --> 01:38:57,750
then I'm telling you your choices are
1569
01:38:57,833 --> 01:38:59,708
surrender or suicide.
1570
01:39:09,750 --> 01:39:11,125
I'm gonna need a minute.
1571
01:39:29,125 --> 01:39:30,208
Yes, sir.
1572
01:39:30,291 --> 01:39:31,583
-Ma'am.
-Yeah.
1573
01:39:31,666 --> 01:39:33,458
It's the president. Sounds urgent.
1574
01:39:37,083 --> 01:39:39,000
Hey, hon. Is everything okay?
1575
01:39:41,166 --> 01:39:42,166
What?
1576
01:39:49,166 --> 01:39:50,666
Did you say nuclear?
1577
01:39:51,458 --> 01:39:52,958
Oh my God.
1578
01:39:54,333 --> 01:39:56,083
Oh my God, I don't know.
1579
01:40:00,541 --> 01:40:02,333
They want me to retaliate.
1580
01:40:04,041 --> 01:40:08,291
It's a lot of lives. A lot of lives.
And if I don't...
1581
01:40:11,541 --> 01:40:12,708
Are you there?
1582
01:40:14,291 --> 01:40:15,458
Are you there?
1583
01:40:16,083 --> 01:40:17,083
Ali.
1584
01:40:18,000 --> 01:40:19,500
Can you get him back?
1585
01:40:20,333 --> 01:40:21,833
-Alison.
-I...
1586
01:40:21,916 --> 01:40:23,000
You did what?
1587
01:40:23,625 --> 01:40:25,041
This fucking...
1588
01:40:37,125 --> 01:40:38,375
All right, I'm here.
1589
01:40:39,083 --> 01:40:41,500
-You'll need your SAS card, sir.
-Oh.
1590
01:40:47,708 --> 01:40:48,708
Right.
1591
01:40:49,458 --> 01:40:51,291
Reminds me of when I was in college.
1592
01:40:54,291 --> 01:40:56,666
You just, uh, read it aloud.
1593
01:40:59,083 --> 01:41:01,833
November, Delta, Oscar.
1594
01:41:02,416 --> 01:41:05,500
One, one, one, seven.
1595
01:41:05,583 --> 01:41:08,458
-November, Delta, Oscar.
-Let me see that.
1596
01:41:08,541 --> 01:41:10,958
One, one, one, seven.
1597
01:41:12,875 --> 01:41:15,166
National command authority confirmed.
1598
01:41:16,833 --> 01:41:18,666
Your orders, Mr. President?
1599
01:41:19,416 --> 01:41:20,583
My orders?
1600
01:41:30,041 --> 01:41:32,708
Joe! Joe, come on! Joe!
1601
01:41:40,708 --> 01:41:42,625
-Form a line.
-Get your IDs out.
1602
01:41:42,708 --> 01:41:44,167
Keep it orderly, folks.
1603
01:41:44,250 --> 01:41:45,833
Keep moving, man.
1604
01:41:45,916 --> 01:41:47,833
Have your IDs ready.
1605
01:41:47,916 --> 01:41:49,916
Bus three is full! Send it!
1606
01:41:50,833 --> 01:41:52,250
Room for two more on seven.
1607
01:41:53,750 --> 01:41:56,416
-Sorry, she's not on the list.
-This way. Come on.
1608
01:41:56,916 --> 01:41:58,625
Keep it orderly, folks!
1609
01:41:59,791 --> 01:42:02,750
-Bus four is ready. Send it.
-Get your IDs out.
1610
01:42:03,875 --> 01:42:05,333
Have your IDs ready.
