[ speaking Farsi]

[ theme music playing]

[ Man with Australian accent]:
GOOD DAY, LIEUTENANT ROBERTS.

IS THE MAJOR IN YET?

OH, NO, SIR, NOT YET.

WHAT ARE YOU
UP TO THEN, MATE?

EMERGENCY TRAVEL
ARRANGEMENTS.

TEHRAN? TRICKY PLACE.

I HAD AN ASSIGNMENT
THERE SOME TIME AGO.

ONCE THOSE IRANIAN FEATHERS
GET RUFFLED

THEY'RE A LITTLE
TOUGH TO PUT DOWN.

HOW DID YOU MANAGE, COMMANDER?

I DID A FAIR JOB OF IT, SIR.

THAT'S WHAT I UNDERSTAND
FROM YOUR RECORD.

MAJOR, MY OFFICE.

COMMANDER BRUMBY, WHY
DON'T YOU JOIN US?

I WANT YOU TWO TO GO
TO THE PERSIAN GULF.

WHAT IS IT, SIR?

IRANIAN VERSION
OF THE GARY POWERS INCIDENT.

HAVE YOU LOST A SPY
PLANE OVER IRAN?

Chegwidden:
IRANIANS HAVE OUR PILOT.

MAJOR, YOU'LL BE LEAD COUNSEL

WITH COMMANDER BRUMBY
WORKING UNDER YOU.

ANY PROBLEMS WITH THAT?

CAN'T IMAGINE ANYTHING
I'D LIKE BETTER, SIR.

FINE WITH ME, SIR.

MAN:
SIR.

THANKS. GOOD MORNING.

HEY, BUD.

MORNING, SIR.

HEY, WHERE'S
MAJOR MACKENZIE?

SHE'S IN
THE ADMIRAL'S OFFICE

WITH COMMANDER
BRUMBY, SIR.

DID THEY ASK ME
TO JOIN?

HE DIDN'T SAY, SIR.

OH-- WHAT'S GOING ON?

WE LOST AN AIRCRAFT OVER IRAN

AND THEY'RE GOING TO TRY
THE PILOT FOR ESPIONAGE.

NAVY?

YES, SIR.

A LIEUTENANT COMMANDER
JACK KEETER.

WEREN'T YOU AT THE ACADEMY
WITH HIM, SIR?

YEAH, HE WAS MY ROOMMATE.

COMMANDER, CAN I
SEE YOU A MINUTE?

YES, SIR.

BUD, WILL YOU TAKE
CARE OF THIS?

AYE, AYE, SIR.

[ softly]:
GOOD MORNING.

MORNING.

YOU HEARD?

YES, SIR.

WHEN I BECAME JAG
THREE YEARS AGO

I GAVE YOU THE FIRST CASE
THAT CAME ACROSS MY DESK.

KEETER'S F-14 WENT
DOWN IN CUBA, SIR.

HE WAS WORKING WITH C.I.A. THEN.

I ASSUME THIS IS
MORE OF THE SAME.

WITH WEBB INVOLVED
I'D SAY THAT'S A GOOD GUESS.

WHEN DO I LEAVE, SIR?

YOU DON'T.

ADMIRAL...

I AM ASSIGNING THE CASE TO MAJOR
MACKENZIE AND COMMANDER BRUMBY.

MAC SPEAKS FARSI;
BRUMBY HAS OPERATED IN IRAN.

THE AUSSIES HAVE AN EMBASSY
THERE, WE DON'T.

ADMIRAL, I HAVE KNOWN KEETER
FOR 17 YEARS, SIR.

HE IS MY OLDEST FRIEND.

IT'S A DONE DEAL, RABB.

YOU'RE TOO CLOSE.

WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, SIR...

THE ADMIRAL WAS VERY CLOSE
TO HIS DAUGHTER

YET THAT DID NOT PREVENT HIM

FROM COMING TO HER RESCUE
IN ITALY.

[ knock at door]

ENTER.

EXCUSE ME, SIR.

NOT TO INTERFERE,
BUT FOR THE SAKE
OF MORALE

I WAS WONDERING
WHETHER YOU'D CONSIDER

SENDING COMMANDER RABB
INSTEAD OF ME, SIR.

COMMANDER, DO YOU FEEL
INADEQUATE TO THE TASK?

Brumby:
NO, SIR.

IN FACT, I'M SURE THE MAJOR
AND I'D MAKE A KNOCKOUT TEAM.

BUT IF THAT WAS MY MATE
IN JEOPARDY

IT'D KILL ME NOT
TO BE THERE FOR HIM, SIR.

WELL, THANK YOU, COMMANDER

BUT I'LL DETERMINE

WHAT'S BEST FOR MORALE AT JAG.

UNDERSTOOD, SIR.

DISMISSED.

AYE, SIR.

DID YOU PUT HIM
UP TO THIS?

NO, SIR, I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW
HE HAD THE ASSIGNMENT

UNTIL JUST NOW.

OF COURSE YOU DIDN'T.

[ sighs]

ALL RIGHT, COMMANDER, YOU GO.

THANK YOU, SIR.

DISMISSED.

AYE, AYE, SIR.

RABB...

DON'T LET YOUR FRIENDSHIP
WITH COMMANDER KEETER

AFFECT YOUR JUDGMENT.

NO, SIR, I WON'T.

[ to himself]:
THE HELL YOU WON'T.

[ knock at door]

I FOUND A FEW CITATIONS

THAT MIGHT PROVE
USEFUL, MAJOR.

THANK YOU, COMMANDER.

BRUMBY...

LOOK, I DON'T HOLD A GRUDGE.

[ exhales]

THAT'S GOOD TO KNOW

SINCE I HUNG YOU
OUT TO DRY

DEFENDING
COLONEL FARROW.

WHAT I'M SAYING IS,
I HOPE YOU DIDN'T BACK OUT

BECAUSE YOU THOUGHT
WE COULDN'T ESTABLISH

A WORKING RELATIONSHIP.

NO, IT'S LIKE I TOLD
THE ADMIRAL.

IT'S COMMANDER RABB'S MESSMATE'S
WHO'S IN THE HOLE,

HE SHOULD BE THE ONE
TO GO AFTER HIM.

I AGREE.

BESIDES...

YOU AND I ARE GOING TO HAVE
A GREAT RELATIONSHIP, SARAH.

I SAID WORKINGRELATIONSHIP.

Webb:
WE BELIEVE IRAN IS
ONLY TWO YEARS AWAY

FROM NUCLEAR CAPABILITY.

LAST WEEK, WE RECEIVED
SATELLITE COVERAGE

THAT A REACTOR
IN THE DASHT-E-KAVIR DESERT

MAY BE PRODUCING
WEAPONS-GRADE PLUTONIUM.

SINCE THE DATA
WAS INCONCLUSIVE

C.I.A. CONSULTED
NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

SECNAV AGREED TO SPONSOR
A RECON MISSION

USING THE F-117
STEALTH AIRCRAFT.

I THOUGHT THE NAVY ABANDONED
THAT PROGRAM YEARS AGO, SIR.

THAT'S WHAT EVERYONE
WAS SUPPOSED TO THINK.

IT WAS UNDERGOING
CARRIER-SUITABILITY TESTS

IN THE PERSIAN GULF, 40 MILES
OFF THE COAST OF IRAN.

IT WAS DIVERTED
TO GATHER INFRARED
PICTURES FOR CLOSER ANALYSIS.

THE IRANIANS SHOT IT DOWN?

Webb:
NO.

KEETER HAD CONTROL FAILURE.

HE HAD TO EJECT.

Chegwedden:
HE WAS FOUND IN THE
DESERT BY BEDOUINS.

HE WAS TAKEN TO THE POLICE
STATION, TRADED FOR ARMS.

WHAT'S HIS CONDITION, SIR?

ACCORDING TO THE IRANIANS,
SOUND ENOUGH TO STAND TRIAL.

IT'LL BE A KANGAROO COURT, SIR.

HMM.

Webb:
IRAN IS OFFERING
AN OLIVE BRANCH HERE.

FULL U.S. CONSULTATION
IN THE PILOT'S DEFENSE.

WHAT'S THE QUID PRO QUO, WEBB?

MAYBE THEY JUST WANT
TO IMPROVE RELATIONS.

YEAH, AND MAYBE THEY JUST WANT
TO EMBARRASS US FURTHER.

EITHER WAY, I EXPECT YOU'LL
FIND OUT RATHER QUICKLY.

ANY OF YOU FAMILIAR WITH
THE PUNISHMENT FOR ESPIONAGE

UNDER IRANIAN LAW?

SAME AS UNDER OUR LAW: DEATH.

Man:
THE PLANE WAS CATAPULTED
AT 2005.

AT 2046, COMMANDER KEETER
SHIFTED INTO STEALTH MODE.

AT 2104, HE ATTEMPTED
TO CHANGE ALTITUDE

TO AVOID LEAVING A CONTRAIL.

THAT'S WHEN HE ENCOUNTERED

HIS FIRST MALFUNCTION.

THE YAW TRIM
STABILIZER FAILED.

WHOA.

Man:
HE BROKE
RADIO SILENCE TO INFORM US

HE WAS HAVING DIFFICULTY
CONTROLLING THE AIRCRAFT.

WE ORDERED HIM
BACK TO THE CARRIER.

DID HE GO BACK?
HE STARTED TO.

THEN THE SECOND
MALFUNCTION OCCURRED:

AUTOMATIC ROLL
STABILIZATION FAILED.

I THOUGHT THE FLIGHT
STABILIZATION SYSTEM

HAD QUAD REDUNDANCY.

IT DOES--
IF ONE SYSTEM FAILS

THERE'S THREE MORE
TO TAKE OVER.

HE HAD TO HAVE
EXPERIENCED

A DRASTIC COMPUTER
MALFUNCTION.

I'D SAY.

OKAY, CHIEF, SHUT HER DOWN.

[ exhales]

NOT BAD FOR YOUR FIRST TIME.

[ sighs]

COMMANDER KEETER'S
LAST RADIO CALL

REPORTED LOSING
PITCH CONTROL

AND EJECTING
OVER LAKE NAMAK.

COULDN'T HE HAVE LANDED
IN THE DESERT?

NOT WITH ALL THREE STABILIZING
ASSISTS OUT.

WHAT CAUSED THE FAILURES?
WE DON'T KNOW.

OUR TECHNICIANS ARE TRYING
TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM.

SO FAR, NO LUCK.

HOPEFULLY, COMMANDER KEETER
CAN TELL YOU MORE

WHEN YOU GET
TO TEHRAN.

THINK HE COULD HAVE PUT HER DOWN
IN ONE PIECE, SIR?

POSSIBLY.

PRETTY CONFIDENT.

A GOOD PILOT
HAS TO BE.

BUT IN THE F-117

THAT KIND OF THINKING
CAN GET YOU KILLED.

[ speaking Farsi]

I CAN'T BELIEVE
MY GRANDMOTHER

USED TO DRESS
LIKE THIS.

I REMEMBER HER AS THIS CUTE,
LITTLE OLD LADY

IN LEISURE SUITS.

WELL, THE TWO AGENTS
FOLLOWING US

SEEM TO THINK
YOU LOOK PRETTY HOT.

Man:
THE TEHRAN HIGH COURT
COULD HAVE PROSECUTED

LIEUTENANT
COMMANDER KEETER

FOR COMMITTING
AN ACT OF WAR

BUT HAVE OPTED INSTEAD

TO PURSUE ONLY
THE ESPIONAGE CHARGE.

[ coughs]

IT'S QUITE STRONG,
COMMANDER.

[ choking]:
OH, THAT WOULD BE
AN UNDERSTATEMENT.

MINISTER, THE DISTINCTION
YOU'RE MAKING IS MOOT

SINCE BOTH CHARGES ARE
PUNISHABLE BY DEATH.

IF THIS WERE AN IRANIAN
MILITARY PILOT DOWNED IN,

LET'S SAY, TEXAS, I DOUBT
YOUR GOVERNMENT WOULD BE WILLING

TO DISPENSE OF IT
WITH JUST A WINK AND A SMILE.

BUT HOPEFULLY, YOUR PRESENCE
HERE WILL HELP TO OPEN

A DIALOGUE BETWEEN
OUR TWO GOVERNMENTS.

THE BEST WAY
TO DO THAT, SIR,

WOULD BE TO CONSIDER
THIS INCIDENT A MUTUAL MISTAKE

AND TO RELEASE COMMANDER KEETER
INTO OUR CUSTODY.

IRAN ADMITS NO MISTAKE
IN THIS MATTER, COMMANDER.

YOUR COUNTRY IS DEVELOPING
NUCLEAR ARMS, SIR.

MacKenzie:
THE UNITED STATES
IS TRYING TO PREVENT

A WIDESPREAD MIDDLE
EASTERN CRISIS.

YOU'RE VERY FORWARD, MAJOR...

FOR A WOMAN IN MY SOCIETY.

[ speaking Farsi]
IT'S BETTER TO SEE ME
IN MY OWN COUNTRY.

YOUR FARSI IS PERFECT.

ONLY THE TRACE
OF AN AMERICAN ACCENT.

WE IN THE MODERATE GOVERNMENT

ARE TRYING
TO IMPLEMENT CHANGE

BUT THERE ARE HARD-LINE
CLERICS IN THIS COUNTRY

WHO DO NOT WANT
THAT CHANGE TO COME.

WE NEED SOMETHING...

TO APPEASE
THESE FORCES:

A TRADE AGREEMENT, PERHAPS

OR RELEASE OF IRANIAN ASSETS
IN YOUR COUNTRY-- SOMETHING.

UNFORTUNATELY, MINISTER NASSAN

WE DON'T HAVE AUTHORITY
TO NEGOTIATE.

Rabb:
WE ARE HERE,
SIR, TO ASSURE

THAT COMMANDER KEETER
IS ALIVE AND WELL

AND THAT HE STAYS THAT WAY.

[ chuckling condescendingly]

I HAVE ALWAYS ENJOYED

THE INTRICACIES
OF AMERICAN DIPLOMACY.

I'M NO DIPLOMAT, SIR.

MY POINT EXACTLY.

WHAT THE COMMANDER IS SAYING IS
THAT IT WOULD BE UNPRODUCTIVE

TO DISCUSS ANYTHING UNTIL WE'VE
SPOKEN WITH COMMANDER KEETER.

WELL, THEN, WHY DIDN'T HE
JUST SAY THAT?

Rabb:
I EXPECTED TO FIND COMMANDER
KEETER IN A HOSPITAL.

OH, HIS INJURIES
WERE SUPERFICIAL.

FROM HIS ACCOUNT,

WE BELIEVE THE
PLANE WENT DOWN

SOMEWHERE NEAR
LAKE NAMAK.

WHEN WE'VE GATHERED
ALL THE PIECES.

WE'LL BE SURE
AND RETURN THEM TO YOU.

OH, A PERSONAL CORRESPONDENCE
FROM COMMANDER KEETER

TO HIS FATHER--
I PASS IT ON

AS EVIDENCE
THAT WE ARE CIVILIZED.

THIS LETTER'S BEEN
RESEALED, SIR.

OH, IT'S IRANIAN GLUE.

IT NEVER STICKS.

[ speaking Farsi]

[ softly]:
KEETER?

KEETER?

KEETER?

[ exhales]

Rabb:
YOU TOLD ME HIS WOUNDS
WERE SUPERFICIAL.

THEY ARE-- HIS VITAL SIGNS
ARE ALL ACCEPTABLE.

WHY IS HIS ARM
IN A SLING?

I BELIEVE HE BROKE THAT
WHEN HE EJECTED.

WHY WASN'T IT SET?

IT'S A SIMPLE FRACTURE.

KEETER?

MARTIN.

NO, IT'S HARM.

NO.

MARTIN BAKER.

COMMANDER KEETER,
I'M MAJOR MACKENZIE.

WE'RE HERE TO HELP YOU.

NO.

MARTIN BAKER.

I WANT HIM IN A HOSPITAL NOW,
AND I WANT THAT ARM
SET IMMEDIATELY.

HE'LL BE FINE IN TIME
FOR THE TRIAL.

WHY ARE YOU TREATING
HIM LIKE THIS?

HE'S AN ACCUSED CRIMINAL.

EVEN ACCUSED CRIMINALS
HAVE RIGHTS.

NOT IN IRAN.

HOWEVER, AS YET ANOTHER GESTURE
OF GOODWILL:

[ speaking Farsi]
REMOVE THE SHACKLES
AND GET HIM A DOCTOR.

THE TRIAL WILL BEGIN
AS SCHEDULED

UNLESS YOUR GOVERNMENT
IS WILLING

TO DISCUSS
OTHER OPTIONS.

KEETER, WE'RE GOING
TO GET YOU OUT OF HERE SOON--

I PROMISE, BUDDY.

NO MARTIN BAKER.

[ knock at door]

Man:
ROOM SERVICE.

WE DIDN'T
ORDER ANYTHING!

Man:
I BELIEVE THAT
YOU DID, MR. WEBB.

MAY I SET UP
NEAR THE WINDOW?

AS YOU WISH.

THIS CHICKEN LOOKS GOOD.

IT'S EXCELLENT, MADAM.

WOULD SIR AND MADAM LIKE TO HAVE
DESSERT AFTER DINNER?

WE HAVE AN EXCELLENT
CREME BRULEE.

THAT WOULD BE NICE.

SOVIET-TYPE
LISTENING DEVICES.

I AM SINA KAZZARI--
WEBB SENT ME.

YOU WORK FAST.

I HAVE TO.

YOU ARE BEING WATCHED
BY TWO AGENTS.

YEAH, WE SPOTTED THEM.

CAN YOU GET
THIS LETTER TO WEBB?

YES, WE ARE USING

THE AUSTRALIAN EMBASSY
AS A CONDUIT.

ENCRYPTED IN THAT LETTER,
KEETER PUT THE COORDINATES

TO WHERE HE LANDED
THE STEALTH.

WHAT?

KEETER'S FATHER DIED

A WEEK AFTER WE GRADUATED

FROM ANNAPOLIS, MAC.

THIS LETTER ISN'T

TO HIS DAD;
IT'S TO US.

AND THIS...

IS NOT AN EJECTION CHUTE.

IT'S A DRAG CHUTE
TO SLOW THE AIRCRAFT

AFTER IT LANDS.

MARTIN BAKER MANUFACTURES
EJECTION SEATS.

WHEN KEETER KEPT SAYING

"NO MARTIN BAKER,
NO MARTIN BAKER"

HE WAS TRYING
TO TELL ME...

HE DIDN'T EJECT.

HE LANDED THE STEALTH
AND WALKED AWAY FROM IT

TO CONCEAL IT
FROM THE IRANIANS.

SO THERE'S AN F-117
PARKED SOMEWHERE...

SOMEWHERE OUT HERE.

Kazzari:
THAT'S DASHT-E-KAVIR.

Rabb:
DASHT-E-KAVIR?

IT MEANS "BIG DESERT."

[ muezzin calling]

MORE COFFEE?

HEY...

MY THIRD-CLASS YEAR
AT THE ACADEMY...

IT WAS ALL GETTING
TO BE TOO MUCH FOR ME.

I WAS 19.

I DIDN'T EVEN REMEMBER

WHAT MY FATHER
LOOKED LIKE.

I DIDN'T THINK I HAD

WHAT IT TOOK
TO BECOME A NAVAL OFFICER.

THAT DOESN'T SOUND
LIKE THE HARMON RABB I KNOW.

JUST BEFORE CHRISTMAS LEAVE,
DURING FINALS, I WENT U.A.

BEFORE ANYBODY EVEN FOUND OUT
I WAS GONE

KEETER CAME OUT, GOT ME,
BROUGHT ME BACK.

WE'LL GET HIM OUT OF THIS, HARM.

[ knock at door]

Kazzari:
MAY I PICK UP
YOUR ROOM SERVICE CART?

I DELIVERED THE LETTER
TO THE AUSTRALIAN EMBASSY.

YOU TOLD THEM
COMMANDER KEETER

PROBABLY LANDED
IN THE DESERT?

YES, THEY'RE
TRYING TO LOCATE

THE F-117
BY SATELLITE.

TO DESTROY IT.

THEY MAY HAVE
OTHER PLANS.

THEY WOULD LIKE
YOU AND THE MAJOR

TO COME TO THE
EMBASSY FOR TEA

AT 4:00 THIS AFTERNOON.

GOOD DAY, MATES.

SOMEHOW I KNEW
YOU'D BE HERE.

MR. WEBB NEEDED
AN ESCORT.

THAT'LL BE THE DAY.

GOOD WORK ON GETTING
THAT LETTER TO US.

KEETER WAS ABLE
TO ENCRYPT THE
COORDINATES

THROUGH A SPECIAL CODE
WE TAUGHT HIM

FOR JUST THIS KIND
OF SITUATION.

SO HOW ARE YOU
GOING TO DESTROY
THE STEALTH, WEBB?

WE'RE NOT.

WE'RE GOING
TO RETRIEVE IT.

OR RATHER YOU ARE.

OH, NO, NO, NO.

I AM HERE TO HELP KEETER.

THE PRIORITIES
HAVE CHANGED.

MINE HAVEN'T.

AS A PILOT,
YOU'VE GOT TWO

CRUCIAL QUALIFICATIONS:
ACCESS AND ABILITY.

HARM'S NEVER EVEN FLOWN
A STEALTH.

NEITHER HAD LIEUTENANT
COMMANDER KEETER

UNTIL A MONTH AGO.
ALL YOU'VE GOT TO DO

IS GET IT
OFF THE GROUND.

THE COMPUTER'S
AUTOPILOT

WILL TAKE CARE
OF THE REST.

THE COMPUTER
IS THE REASON

IT'S ON THE GROUND
IN THE FIRST PLACE.

THE TECHNICIANS
ON THE SEAHAWK

BELIEVE A HEAT SINK
WORKED LOOSE

FROM THE REPEATED
CARRIER LANDINGS.

THAT COULD HAVE OVERHEATED
AN INTEGRATED CIRCUIT

IN THE STABILIZATION SYSTEM.

REPLACING THE CIRCUIT

SHOULD BRING THE SYSTEM
BACK ONLINE.

YEAH, UNTIL IT OVERHEATS AGAIN.

BY THAT TIME, YOU SHOULD BE
BACK ON BOARD THE SEAHAWK.

MacKenzie:
HARM, IF YOU GO

I CAN REPRESENT KEETER.

RABB MAY NEED YOUR FARSI SKILLS

TO REACH THE PLANE, MAJOR.

I'LL REPRESENT HIM.

TOO RISKY.
ONCE WE GO AFTER THAT PLANE,

ANYONE WE LEAVE BEHIND
WILL BE VULNERABLE.

SO YOU'RE GOING
TO SACRIFICE KEETER.

HE KNEW IT WAS
A DANGEROUS MISSION.

IS THAT THE GOING
RATE OF EXCHANGE, WEBB--

A MAN FOR A PLANE?

DO YOU THINK YOU'RE
GOING TO CHANGE ANYTHING

IN THE TEHRAN HIGH COURT?

HIS FATE'S ALREADY BEEN DECIDED.

STATE WILL DO
THE BEST IT CAN

TO NEGOTIATE A DEAL
AFTER THE TRIAL.

YOU KNOW I'M RIGHT.

Rabb:
PROGRESS BETWEEN OUR
TWO COUNTRIES ISN'T LIKELY

IF YOUR GOVERNMENT EXECUTES
AN AMERICAN PILOT

FOR TAKING PICTURES.

I AGREE WITH YOU
COMPLETELY, COMMANDER.

BUT YOUR COUNTRY
SEEMS WILLING

TO SIT ON ITS HANDS

WHILE THIS INCIDENT HEADS
TOWARDS A TRAGIC END.

HARM...

WHEN DID YOU GET HERE?

TWO DAYS AGO, BUDDY.

THIS IS OUR SECOND VISIT.

OH, WOW...

MUST HAVE BEEN REALLY
OUT OF IT, HUH?

YOU REMEMBER
MAJOR MACKENZIE?

NO, WISH I DID.

HOW'S YOUR ARM?

BROKEN.

Nassan:
TELL YOUR FRIENDS

OF YOUR FREELY
ARRIVED AT DECISION.

I'M GOING
TO PLEAD GUILTY.

THROW MYSELF ON
THE MERCY OF THE COURT.

IT'S A GESTURE

THAT WOULD BE MEANINGFUL
TO MY PEOPLE, COMMANDER.

KEETER, IF THEY'VE TORTURED
THIS CONFESSION OUT OF YOU...

NO TORTURE, NO PRESSURE.

SOMETIMES YOU HAVE
TO RECOGNIZE THE TRUTH

AND MOVE ON--
THIS IS ONE OF THEM.

WELL, I WISH YOU WOULD HAVE
WAITED TO SPEAK TO US.

WELL, I DIDN'T KNOW
YOU WERE HERE.

DID YOU GIVE THEM
MY LETTER TO MY DAD?

OF COURSE.

DID DAD GET IT?

HE DID.

THEN I KNOW
I'M DOING THE RIGHT THING.

Roberts:
IF COMMANDER RABB
FLIES THE STEALTH OUT

THIS IS THE ROUTE
THAT HE'LL TAKE?

Webb:
THAT'S RIGHT.

WHY NOT FLY
TO AN AIR BASE

IN TURKEY
OR SAUDI ARABIA?

TOO FAR.

THEY CAN'T REPAIR
THE HEAT SINK

SO THE NEW INTEGRATED CIRCUIT
WILL OVERHEAT.

WE BELIEVE HE CAN
REACH THE SEAHAWK
BEFORE THAT HAPPENS.

AND IF HE CAN'T?

THERE'S ALWAYS
RISKS, ROBERTS.

WHAT ABOUT
MAJOR MACKENZIE?

OR HAVEN'T YOU
THOUGHT ABOUT THAT?

WE'LL GET MAC OUT.

AND LIEUTENANT
COMMANDER KEETER?

THIS CONVERSATION
IS LIKE DEJA VU.

LIKE I TOLD RABB

STATE WILL DO
THE BEST IT CAN
FOR COMMANDER KEETER.

I HOPE COMMANDER RABB
CHOOSES NOT TO DO IT.

HE'LL DO IT.

RABB KNOWS THAT
NATIONAL SECURITY HAS TO COME

BEFORE THE WELFARE
OF ANY INDIVIDUAL.

MR. WEBB, COMMANDER RABB
LIVES BY A CREED:

DUTY TO HIS COUNTRY,
LOYALTY TO HIS FRIENDS.

YOU'RE ASKING HIM
TO CHOOSE BETWEEN
THE TWO.

NO MAN SHOULD HAVE
TO DO THAT.

THERE HAS TO BE
A BETTER WAY.

Kazzari:
THE PLAN HAS CHANGED.

WEBB HAS DECIDED
TO GET BOTH THE STEALTH

AND COMMANDER KEETER
OUT OF IRAN.

SO THE TIN MAN
HAS A HEART.

A JEEP AND SUPPLIES--

INCLUDING
A SATELLITE RADIO
AND G.P.S. RECEIVER--

WILL BE WAITING IN THE DESERT AT
A RENDEZVOUS I'VE USED BEFORE.

WE WILL FOLLOW THE COORDINATES
WEBB GAVE YOU TO THE PLANE.

WEBB DIDN'T GIVE ME
THE COORDINATES.

HE HADN'T FINISHED
DECODING IT YET.

WHAT DOES IT MATTER?

WE'LL HAVE KEETER WITH US.

THAT'S RIGHT.
HERE IS

THE CIRCUIT BOARD AND
INSTRUCTIONS ON INSERTION.

WELL, THAT'S THE EASY PART.

HOW DO WE BREAK KEETER
OUT OF PRISON?

WE DON'T; THE IRANIANS DO.

AT NOON TOMORROW,

THEY WILL TRANSFER COMMANDER
KEETER FROM BAKKAR PRISON

TO THE JUDICIAL
MINISTRY BUILDING

FOR TRIAL.

WE RESCUE HIM...

HERE, FROM THE GARAGE.

Keeter:
I WORE A TIE LIKE THIS
TO MY HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION

IN '81.

GUESS IRANIANS
ARE A LITTLE BEHIND THE TIMES.

[ sighs]

LIVE FAST, DIE YOUNG...
LEAVE A GOOD-LOOKING CORPSE.

WHOEVER SAID THAT FIRST
IS A FRIGGING IDIOT.

[ speaking Farsi]

Kazzari:
QUICK!

Keeter:
YOU NEVER COULD

FOLLOW ORDERS, PARTNER.

ALL RIGHT, WE GOT
THE A.P.U. GENERATORS

SATELLITE RADIO...

G.P.S. RECEIVER.

NO WEAPONS.

Keeter:
MAYBE WEBB DIDN'T WANT US

TO START AN INTERNATIONAL
INCIDENT, HUH?

WELL, WE'LL
USE THE ONES

WE GOT OFF THE GUARDS.

ALL RIGHT,
LADIES, LET'S GO.

I'VE GOT A BIRD TO FLY.

WAS HE ALWAYS
THIS COCKY?

ONLY AROUND WOMEN.

SO, YOU'RE IRANIAN?

AMERICAN CITIZEN, MAJOR.

AFTER THE SHAH WAS DEPOSED,
MY FATHER WAS KILLED BY KHOMEINI

AND MY MOTHER BROUGHT ME
TO THE STATES.

WHEN I JOINED THE AGENCY

WEBB FOUND A WAY
TO PLANT ME IN TEHRAN.

LISTEN, KAZZARI...

SINA, RIGHT?

I'M SURE THIS ISN'T

A TYPICAL MISSION
AND, UM... THANK YOU.

WHEN I HAVE A JOB TO DO,
I SEE IT THROUGH TO THE END

REGARDLESS OF THE CONSEQUENCES.

BUT... YOU ARE WELCOME.

[ both speaking Farsi]
YOUR COMMITMENT IS ADMIRABLE.

DO YOU SPEAK FARSI?

MY GRANDMA TAUGHT ME.

[ speaking English]
YOUR ACCENT--
IT'S BARELY DETECTABLE.

Keeter:
I SET HER DOWN ON
A DRY LAKE BED, ABOUT HERE.

Rabb:
WE SHOULD BE THERE
BY NOON TOMORROW.

ARE YOU HUNGRY?

STARVING.

I THINK THEY FED ME
CAMEL FODDER.

WELL, I DIDN'T THINK
THAT'D BOTHER YOU.

I'VE SEEN YOU EAT THINGS

OUT OF THE BACK
OF THE WARDROOM FRIDGE

I WOULDN'T EVEN TOUCH.

NO GUTS, NO GLORY.

I FIGURED CUBA WOULD HAVE
CURED YOU OF THAT PHILOSOPHY.

SO, KEETER, YOU THINK
THAT CIRCUIT BOARD WILL LAST

UNTIL I GET TO THE SEAHAWK?

IT STARTED TO COOK
ABOUT 30 MINUTES
INTO MY FLIGHT

BUT YOU SHOULD BE
ON BOARD BY THEN.

IF YOU'RE NOT, AND SHE
STARTS TO GO, PUNCH OUT.

YOU DIDN'T PUNCH OUT.

YEAH, WELL, I HAD MILES
OF DRY LAKE TO LAND ON.

YOU ONLY HAVE
750 FEET OF DECK.

DON'T EVEN THINK OF TRYING

WITHOUT THE
STABILIZATION SYSTEM.

I DON'T WANT
TO BE A PALLBEARER.

WELL, WHAT
MAKES YOU THINK

I EVEN WANT YOU
AT MY FUNERAL?

[ both chuckling]

Chegwidden:
YOU KNOW, WEBB,
IT WOULD BE NICE IF FOR ONCE

YOU'D SPIT ON YOUR OWN FIRE.

IT WAS A NAVY
AIRCRAFT, ADMIRAL.

ON A C.I.A.
OPERATION.

AUTHORIZED
BY THE SECNAV.

I'VE JUST ABOUT HAD IT
WITH YOU USING MY PEOPLE

TO CLEAN UP YOUR MESSES.

Webb:
I USE THEM BECAUSE
THEY'RE THE BEST, A.J.

YOU DON'T SACRIFICE
YOUR BEST ON A SUICIDE MISSION.

I AGREED THAT,
IF WILLING

COMMANDER RABB
COULD RETRIEVE THE AIRCRAFT

BUT NOT STAGE
SOME DAMN JAILBREAK!

Webb:
TIME WAS TOO SHORT
TO RUN IT BY YOU.

I FELT WE COULD RECOVER
BOTH THE STEALTH AND THE PILOT.

THIS, UH... THIS DOESN'T
SOUND LIKE YOU, WEBB.

WHAT AREN'T YOU TELLING ME?

YOU KNOW IT ALL.

EXCEPT, SIR,
HOW MAJOR MACKENZIE

AND LIEUTENANT
COMMANDER KEETER

ARE GOING TO GET OUT.

MY MAN WILL DRIVE MAC AND KEETER
ACROSS THE TURKISH BORDER.

YOU CAN'T SEND THEM ACROSS
HUNDREDS OF MILES OF IRAN

WITH AN ARMY AFTER THEM.
THEY'LL NEVER GET OUT!

I DID REQUEST THAT THE MARINES
EXTRACT THEM, BUT SECNAV SAID

IT WOULD ONLY INFLAME
THE SITUATION

IF ANYTHING
WENT WRONG.

HE DID?

WE'LL SEE ABOUT THAT.

TINER, GET ME THE SECNAV.

YOU KNEW THE ADMIRAL

WOULDN'T GO FOR A GROUND
EXTRACTION THROUGH TURKEY.

YOU SET HIM UP TO FIGHT
YOUR FIGHT WITH THE SECNAV!

A GOOD OPERATIVE
NEVER TAKES A FIGHT

THAT SOMEBODY ELSE
IS WILLING TO TAKE FOR HIM.

HOW DO YOU
SLEEP AT NIGHT?

ON MY RIGHT SIDE.

[ indistinct chatter]

Rabb:
YOU MIGHT HAVE MENTIONED
YOU LEFT IT WITH BEDOUINS.

I DIDN'T.

[ sighs]

[ MacKenzie speaking Farsi]
HELLO. HOW ARE YOU DOING?

[ responds in Farsi]
DO YOU LET
A WOMAN SPEAK FOR YOU?

[ speaking Farsi]
ME AND THIS LADY SPEAK FARSI.

[ speaking Farsi]
WHO ARE YOU?

[ speaking Farsi]
I'M AN IRANIAN LIKE YOU.

[ speaking Farsi]
NO IRANIAN.

WHAT'S GOING ON?

[ in English]
KAZZARI JUST INSULTED HIM.

THESE BEDOUINS THINK
THEY OWN THE DESERT.

[ speaking English] WE DO.

SIR...

I REPRESENT
THE UNITED STATES NAVY.

WE ARE HERE
TO RECOVER OUR PLANE.

[ laughs]

IT IS OURPLANE.

WE FOUND IT.

THAT IS BEDU LAW.

WHAT GOOD IS THIS AIRCRAFT
TO THE BEDOUIN?

[ snickers]

IT DID NOT SAY
YOU COULD NOT BUY IT BACK,

BUT FIRST, I,
FAISAL MUHAMMAD

LEADER OF THE BEDU,
WOULD LIKE TO OFFER

THE HOSPITALITY OF MY TENT
TO ALL BUT THIS DOG.

EASY, HE COULD KILL
US IN A SECOND.

COULD HE AND THIS MAN HERE
CHECK THE PLANE OVER

TO SEE THAT
NOTHING IS MISSING

THAT MIGHT AFFECT
OUR TRADING?

AS YOU WISH.

[ speaking Farsi]

WHICH ONE
IS IT?

GOT TO READ
THE INSTRUCTIONS FIRST.

WHAT IS IT?

CAMEL MILK.

IT'S DELICIOUS.

I'M GLAD YOU LIKE IT.
HAVE ANOTHER.

LOOKS LIKE A BURNT
PIECE OF TOAST.

HAND ME THE NEW ONE,
WILL YOU?

THESE BEDOUINS
ARE THIEVES.

THEY COULD DAMAGE
THE A.P.U.

TRYING TO STEAL
SOMETHING OFF IT.

I GOT THIS.
YOU WATCH THE JEEP.

Rabb:
LOOK, THIS PLANE IS

OF NO VALUE TO THE BEDOUIN;
YOU CAN'T FLY IT.

ITS WINGS MAKE GOOD SHADE.

THAT JEEP HAS
A VERY POWERFUL GENERATOR.

WE NEED IT ONLY
TO START THE PLANE.

WHEN WE LEAVE,
IT IS YOURS.

[ laughs]

THAT PLANE IS WORTH
$80 MILLION.

WE MAY BE NOMADIC,
BUT WE ARE NOT STUPID.

WHAT'S YOUR PRICE?

ONE MILLION
AMERICAN DOLLARS IN GOLD.

THAT CAN BE ARRANGED.

WHEN I GET THE GOLD,
YOU GET THE PLANE.

IT COULD TAKE DAYS
TO GET THE GOLD.

BY THEN, THE IRANIANS
MIGHT FIND THE AIRCRAFT.

NO GOLD, NO PLANE.

[ speaking Farsi]
I WILL STAY WITH YOU
UNTIL YOU GET THE GOLD.

I NEED ANOTHER WIFE
LIKE MY CAMEL NEEDS PANTS.

[ speaking Farsi]
THIS IS STRICTLY BUSINESS.
THINK OF ME AS COLLATERAL.

IT IS A DEAL.

WHAT DID YOU SAY TO HIM?

I OFFERED TO STAY BEHIND
AS COLLATERAL.

I AM NOT LEAVING
YOU HERE, MAC.

I'LL BE FINE. THIS IS ABOUT
COMMERCE, HARM, NOT ABOUT SEX.

YOU WERE FOUND NOT GUILTY
IN YOUR HUSBAND'S DEATH.

WHAT DOES THAT HAVE
TO DO WITH THIS?

WELL, SOMETIMES PEOPLE
TAKE RISKS THEY SHOULDN'T

WHEN THEY WANT
TO PUNISH THEMSELVES.

I PAID MY DUES, HARM,
AT THE ARTICLE 32 HEARING.

I'M DOING THIS
TO COMPLETE THE MISSION.

[ sighs]

Muhammad:
GO WITH MY YOUNGEST WIFE.

SHE WILL DRESS YOU PROPERLY.

[ sighs]

I'LL BE FINE.

WELL?

SHE'S OUR BIRD.

WHAT'D YOU GIVE HIM?

PROMISE OF A MILLION
DOLLARS IN GOLD,

MAC AS COLLATERAL,
UNTIL HE GETS IT.

YOU'D LEAVE MAC
ALONE WITH HIM?

WELL, YOU'RE GOING
TO BE WITH HER.

I ALWAYS DID WANT
TO SPEND A FEW NIGHTS

ALONE IN THE DESERT
WITH A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN.

SHE'D BE SAFER
ALONE WITH FAISAL.

COME ON, LET'S GET
THIS BIRD IN THE AIR.

Kazzari:
LET'S NOT.

AN IRANIAN ARMORED UNIT
HAS BEEN FOLLOWING US

WAITING FOR MY SIGNAL
TO MOVE IN.

Rabb:
I HAD A FEELING

BREAKING KEETER OUT
WAS A LITTLE TOO EASY.

YOU SHOULD HAVE ACTED
ON YOUR FEELINGS.

OH, I DID.

IF THIS BIRD ISN'T
IN THE AIR IN, UH...

TEN MINUTES, NAVY'S GOING
TO TAKE IT OUT

WITH A MAVERICK
MISSILE.

I HOPE YOU DON'T
PLAY POKER, COMMANDER.

LOOK, EVEN IF
I AM BLUFFING,

WHAT DOES IT HURT TO STAND
A COUPLE HUNDRED YARDS AWAY?

NOTHING.

GOOD.

OH, YOU, UH...
PROBABLY WANT ME

TO TAKE THIS PISTOL OUT, RIGHT?

DON'T MOVE, EITHER OF YOU!

[ laughs artificially]

I FORGOT, HE USED
TO LIVE IN THE STATES.

HE'S FAMILIAR
WITH THE AMERICAN WESTERN.

YES, I LIKED THEM, TOO.

EXCEPT I ALWAYS THOUGHT
THE GOOD GUY SHOULD
WEAR THE BLACK HAT.

SO YOU CAN DROP
YOUR PISTOL,

BUT DON'T KICK IT.

SEE? HE KNOWS THAT
IF I DROPPED THE PISTOL,

KICKED IT
TOWARD HIM,

HE'D BE DISTRACTED

LONG ENOUGH FOR YOU TO RUSH HIM.

NAH, I WOULDN'T BE ABLE
TO GRAB HIM WITH MY CAST ON.

I'D HAVE TO HIT HIM OVER
THE HEAD WITH IT LIKE THIS.

YOU WERE BLUFFING
ABOUT THE MAVERICK, WEREN'T YOU?

ONLY ABOUT THE TIME--
WE GOT 20 MINUTES.

[ speaking Farsi]

TOO BAD.

YOU DEPRIVED ME THE PLEASURE
OF SHOOTING HIM MYSELF.

Rabb:
HE WAS
A DOUBLE AGENT.

HE SIGNALED THE IRANIAN ARMY
WITH THIS.

THEY SHOULD BE HERE
IN A FEW MINUTES.

[ yelling orders in Farsi]

MAC, KEETER'S GOING WITH YOU.

FOR WHAT? TO PROTECT ME?

WHAT, IF KEETER WAS BEING HELD
AS COLLATERAL

WOULD YOU SEND ME WITH HIM?

YEAH.
YOU WOULD?

IT'S SAFER THAN TRYING TO MAKE
IT TO THE TURKISH BORDER ALONE.

IF IT'LL MAKE YOU FEEL
ANY BETTER, MAJOR...

[ in Southern accent]:
I'LL PLACE MYSELF UNDER
YOUR PROTECTION, MA'AM.

STRAP HIM ONTO THE WING,
WILL YOU, HARM?

Man:
FLIGHT DECK,
MOVE OUT 142 AN 200.

FLIGHT DECK,
MOVE OUT 142 AN 200.

Appleby:
LATEST SATELLITE
PHOTOS SHOW

AN IRANIAN ARMORED PATROL
CLOSING IN ON OUR PEOPLE.

IF MAC DOESN'T GET
OUT OF THIS, ROBERTS...

I KNOW.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN,
YOU KNOW?

IT'S HIS BLOODY OP
THAT WENT SOUR,
MATE, NOT YOURS.

I SORT OF TALKED HIM
INTO RESCUING COMMANDER KEETER.

I SEE.

WELL, DON'T GET YOUR
KNICKERS IN A KNOT, MATE.

MAC WILL BE BACK,
I'M SURE OF IT.

HOW CAN YOU BE SURE?

I PROMISED I'D
TAKE HER SKIING.

WE'LL RENDEZVOUS IN TWO DAYS...

HERE, IN TURKEY, ON THE COAST.

WHAT IS THIS INSTRUMENT?

IT'S A G.P.S.

TELLS YOU WHERE YOU ARE
IN THE WORLD.

ALLAH AND THE STARS TELL ME.

I DO NOT NEED BATTERIES.

TAKE CARE, MARINE.

YOU, TOO, SAILOR.

Rabb:
YOUR GOLD WILL BE
AT THE RENDEZVOUS POINT

IN 48 HOURS.

LET'S DO IT, KEETER.

Muhammad:
MAY ALLAH BE WITH YOU

AND MY GOLD!

ALL RIGHT,
ANY LAST- MINUTE POINTERS?

YOUR STABILIZING WARNING
LIGHT COMES ON, GET OUT.

I MEAN IT, BUDDY--
FIRST FLASHING RED
LIGHT, YOU PUNCH OUT.

COME ON, COME ON.

IRANIANS!

ANYTIME, KEETER.

WHAT'S WRONG?

IT NEEDS TO BE PRIMED.

[ engine roars to life]

YES!

WHAT'S TAKING SO LONG?

HE CAN'T PUT FUEL
INTO THE ENGINES

TILL THEY SPOOL UP
TO 18% POWER.

YES!

WOMAN, GIVE ME
YOUR HAND!

HEY!
COME ON!

[ yelling in Farsi]

Rabb:
SHADOW, THIS IS GUARDIAN.

Man:
YOU ARE CLEAR TO TAKE OFF.

Rabb:
ROGER, UNDERSTOOD.

Rabb:
SEAHAWK STRIKE,
SHADOW TWO-FOUR.

FEET WET.

ROGER, SHADOW TWO-FOUR.

WE HAVE YOUR TRANSPONDER.

SEAHAWKSTRIKE,
WHAT'S MY CHARLIE TIME?

WE'RE READY FOR YOU NOW, SHADOW.

THE COMPUTER'S
GOING TO LAND HIM?

YEAH, IF THE HEAT SINK
DOESN'T FRY THE CIRCUIT BOARD.

HE COULD TRY
TO LAND MANUALLY, COULDN'T HE?

NOT AND LIVE.

SHADOW TWO-FOUR,
STATE YOUR ALTITUDE.

ANGELS TEN, SEAHAWK

ABOUT SEVEN MINUTES OUT.

COMMANDER, YOU'RE ABOUT
TO BE THE SECOND PILOT

TO LAND THIS BIRD ON
A CARRIER-- YOU IN POSITION?

I'M LINED UP AND IN THE CONE.

TO AUTOMATICALLY LAND, YOU HAVE
TO ACTIVATE TWO SYSTEMS:

THE ACLS SWITCH
OUTBOARD OF THE THROTTLE

AND THE AUTOPILOT BUTTON
ON THE STICK.

SHADOW TWO-FOUR, I'M COUPLED UP.

SIT BACK AND ENJOY THE RIDE.

SEAHAWK,I'VE GOT A PROBLEM.

THE YAW TRIM STABILIZER'S
MALFUNCTIONED.

GET OUT OF THERE, RABB.

I'M ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL
WITH THE RUDDERS.

THERE GOES
THE ROLL STABILIZATION.

YOU'RE RUNNING OUT OF TIME!
GET OUT OF THERE!

NOT WHILE I HAVE AIR
UNDER MY WINGS.

EJECT, RABB, EJECT!

I CAN MAKE IT!

I TOLD YOU TO EJECT.

[ sighs heavily]

I REALLY THOUGHT
I COULD MAKE IT.

NO ONE COULD, COMMANDER.

TELL ME-- IF THAT SYSTEM
HAD FAILED

WHEN YOU WERE LANDING
TWO DAYS AGO,

WOULD YOU HAVE STUCK WITH IT?

[ sighs]

PROBABLY.

THEN YOU JUST LEARNED
A VALUABLE LESSON.

MacKenzie:
I DOUBT IT.

MAC! KEETER!

THEY LANDED
EARLY, SIR.

HEY, YOU WEREN'T DUE
FOR 20 MINUTES.

TWENTY MINUTES AND 15 SECONDS.

SHE'S BEEN DOING
THAT FOR TWO DAYS.

WHAT'S YOUR SECRET?

[ speaking Farsi]

IN ENGLISH, PLEASE.

[ in English]
NAH, IT'LL LOSE SOMETHING
IN THE TRANSLATION.

HUH!
