All language subtitles for Stealth.2005

Talon 1 requesting Bitching Betty
relay Combat Control commands.

Roger, Talon 1.

Central Prime is transmitting encrypted
satellite auto-terrain comparison.

Talons, this is Operator.

PAYCOM has given his final tasking orders.

You are to proceed to target
and prosecute with precision.

Now, remember, you are pilots
of the U.S. Navy.

l expect nothing less than perfection.

Roger, skipper. Activating tactical music.

Countermeasure is silent party.
Talon 2, confirm.

Talon 2 confirms. Music on.

Risk assessment is we have
a clean mission status.

Attack commencing.

Gotcha!

Missile lock.

Talon 3, there's a SAM site on the
west wall. We got birds in the air.

Talon 2, the SAM site's been erased.

Now, that's how you do it.

Talon 3, that was shit-hot!

Talon 1, l expect the same out of you.

Arming Blue Ferret
for penetration detonation.

Missile armed.

Yep, 100 over 100. That's correct.

And l can rely on these numbers?

Well, this isn't figure skating, Ray.

You either score or you don't.

National Command Authority's
duly impressed.

They've given us the go-ahead on phase two.

You know what?

You should come here to D.C. and make
the presentation to the senators yourself.

That's how Admiral Rickover got things done.

Admiral. You get my meaning?

No, l'm flattered, but you do the lobbying.

Politics is for politicians.

- Captain?
- l'll get back to you.

There's Popsicles in the cooler.
Help yourselves.

- Got any grape?
- Any grape?

l believe there is one left,
and don't lose your dignity.

Oh, thank you.

- All right, take a seat.
- Hey... Nice catch.

Talk to me. Where are the holes?
How can we improve?

Come on. l'm not a patient man.

Sorry, Captain, l got caught up
on that west wall.

- l had to pull out before I could even get--
- War is a team sport.

Those AAA sites were thick.
Gave some extra time to the SAM sites.

You see, that's your answer. There
really was no room for improvement.

Actually, what Lieutenant Wade did was right.

She took out their communications

and then she exposed the position
of their SAM sites...

- ...so Henry could come in and lay it down.
- 'Cause that's what l do.

- l mean, it was perfect.
- "Perfect". Well, l'll go along with that.

Much as l hate to see that smile
of yours get any smugger.

You blushing?

l've got good news.

Tell us we got a carrier, skipper, come on.

Affirmative.

The USS Abraham Lincoln.

Captain's an old classmate of mine,
Dick Marshfield.

- l believe you two know each other.
- Marshfield!

He was the captain l was telling you about, right?

- A hell of a pilot in his day.
- Can't wait to hear it.

He's black too. He's black.

l'm also gonna be expanding your squadron.

On the carrier, you'll be joined
by a new wingman.

A fourth wingman?

Wait, l thought there were only
three Talons in existence.

What is the problem, Purcell?
You look like you've just been hit in the gut.

For one, captain, we've been flying
together for a long time and it's good.

And four is an unlucky number.

- Unlucky?
- Yeah, it's not a prime number.

See, prime numbers can only
be divided by one or itself.

Three is a prime number. The Holy Trinity.

The thesis and the antithesis come
together and form the synthesis...

Look, this is not a seminar on metaphysics,
son. This is the U.S. Navy.

Now, we ship out Wednesday at 0500.

Dismissed.

Okay. lf he'd let me finish, l was gonna say...

three's company, Three Stooges,
Three Musketeers, Three-peat,

"three strikes, you're out",
"Three Times a Lady"...

- Three dimensions.
- Three blind mice.

There's ménage à trois.
Don't forget that one.

To the original three.

- Cheers to that.
- Cheers.

And assorted guests.

Cheers.

l'll be back in a second.

l gotta go pee-pee.

That's nasty.

Well, at least she's potty-trained.
l'll give her that.

- Chip O'Dell.
- No way.

- Yeah, no, it's gotta be him.
- No way.

Hey, Henry, our fourth wing. lt's gotta be him.

He tried to manipulate his way into
this program, but you two beat him out.

Yeah, but Becky Martinez
could fly circles around O'Dell.

Two out of the four are gonna be women?
I don't think so.

Hey, you never know.

God, you're such a chauvinist!

Hold on, now, that's not true.

Look, how about l bow down before the superiority
of the opposite sex in many respects.

But from time to time,

l believe they should bow down before me.

- Oh, please!
- Kara, Kara, listen. You're different.

- You are a singularity.
- Absolutely.

You're a freak. Of nature.

- Well, thank you, Henry, l think.
- You are very welcome.

You know what l think?

- Don't think. Drink.
- Don't think. Drink.

Have fun.

Spectacular night, huh?

Dark and mysterious, sir.

Don't you like surprises, Ben?

Well, here he comes now.

Meet your new wingman.

Allow me to introduce the future
of digital warfare. Tim?

Open for Tim, please.

Fuel, catalyzed A1 methane.

Exoskeleton, metal-ceramic composite.

Aeroelastic wings.

Pulse detonation engine
with twin hybrid scramjet turbos.

EDl's sensors can pick out
a face five miles away.

So, we'll take three. Drop the top
on mine, personalized license plate.

So, this is one of these smart UCAVs.

Well, technically you could call it
an Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle.

But that would be kind like
calling this carrier a rowboat.

l feel you, captain, but l know a bit about this.

This is quantum processing, right?

Yeah, it's the first tested application.

Ten terabits a second.

So, if it's a UCAV, why does it have a seat?

Well, the cockpit's just
for testing and maintenance.

Otherwise, EDl flies all by himself.

You mean "itself", don't you, sir?

So, this is what the fuss is all about.

You're looking at VLO stealth, captain.

lt's got a brain like a quantum sponge.

And one day, its survivability
is going to fly right off the charts.

- Lieutenant Wade.
- lt's good to meet you, sir.

lt is a bag of chips, all right.

- Lieutenant Purcell.
- Honoured to meet you, sir.

lt will replace us all.

Looks and sounds like science fiction, George.

Well, so did everything, once upon a time.

Ain't that the truth.

Mr. Gannon. Good to have you back.

Your first squadron tour still holds
some of the ship's most...

impressive records.

Thank you, Captain Marshfield.
Records are made to be broken.

Rules too, if l remember your philosophy.

Captain Cummings,
this is my XO, Mr. Carlson.

- Carlson.
- Listen...

Why don't you meet me up on the flight deck?

You know, after you're through here, all right?

Sure, you bet.

- Congratulations, George.
- Thank you.

- Good to see you again, Dick.
- You too.

- lt's humming.
- No, EDl's thinking.

-Thinking? Thinking about what, sir?
-You. All of you.

He's going over your files.
He's reviewing all your flight logs.

Let's take it for a spin, see what it can do.

No, no, no, no, no. Tomorrow.

- First, you gotta do your homework.
- Homework?!

- Thank you. - Thanks. - Thank you.

"EDl UCAV. Extreme Deep lnvader."

Yeah, l've been called that a few times.

- Yeah, l've heard that one.
- Yeah, right.

Well, hello, gorgeous!

Please, no pictures, please.
No pictures, please. Please.

Okay, take them. Take them. Take them.

lt's open.

Study break.

You are one big study break.

Just a natural.

So that is the appeal.

Okay. See, 'cause l was really wondering

how you manage to pull
a rocket scientist at every port.

You better be careful, Ben, you know.

Hair bleach causes cancer in rats.

Well, l'm not a rat. That's my appeal.

- You checking out the drone?
- Yeah.

Just barely skimmed the surface.

- We really are in the era of EDl.
- EDl.

Did l ever tell you about
that foster mother l had?

- The one who weighed like 350 pounds?
- No.

Anyway, one day she comes home
with this Chihuahua, right?

Guess what she named him. Eddie.

- Okay.
- Mm-hm.

- You know what l just realized about you?
- What?

You got a foster mom for every situation.

Hey, l lived through my childhood.
l may as well use it, right?

That's right.

So, tell me, you think Marshfield's right?

Do you think they're gonna
trade us all in for that machine?

No way. War is about tools. Think about it.

Claws to clubs, bronze to steel.

- Best guy with the best weapon wins.
- Or girl.

And we all know who that is, don't we?

Wow!

The dull thud of a Ben Gannon compliment.

Well...

Oh, pardon my C cup.

Study break is over.

- Hasta mañana, chica.
- Mañana.

Good morning to the crew
of the USS Abraham Lincoln.

Remember, foreign-object debris
can ruin a jet engine.

Let's keep our safety record.
Scour that deck.

- Hey. - Feel like we got older, Dick.
What the hell happened?

Listen, don't complain.
You still got your hair.

Yeah. Some of it.

Look, truth be told...

l never wanted this little experiment
of yours on my ship.

Well, you're not hurting my feelings, Dick.

Admiral Spelling shared
your point paper with me,

and your objections were duly noted.

You always could work the politics.

Well, it's indispensable in a bureaucracy.

This isn't a bureaucracy, not out here.

You rush a weapons system into service,

you shortcut an operational test cycle,

people might get killed.

Hey, Dick, you know l can't pick my nose
out here without 7,000 people approving it.

Nobody rushed a damn thing.

Program is just ahead of schedule.

You missed this.

l'm out first, boys.

l'm right on that ass.

After you, ladies.

Talon 2, airborne.

Talon 3, airborne.

Talon 1 is off and heading 2-5-4.

Deploying Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle
Extreme Deep lnvader now.

l never thought we would see this day.

Me neither, sir.

UCAV EDl, you have launch.

One to UCAV. Confirm flight link. Over.

Flight link confirmed, Talon 1.

lt is good to be part of the squadron.

What? Well, well, well. He can talk.

Big deal. l know a guy's BMW
does exactly the same thing.

Picture, please.

Aye, aye, sir.

Swarm logic activated.

All right, Ben. EDl's here to learn from you.

So, let's make sure these lessons
are up to speed, all right?

Well, then, let the schooling begin.

Captain Cummings.

lnside, please.

- What's the deal?
- You, sir, have a new tasking order.

One to wing, anybody
got a visual on the UCAV?

- Negative, 1.
- It's a negative, 1.

We better find him and regroup.

Before it takes a crap in its quantum pants.

Wait up. Hold on.

What the hell is he doing?

Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Here he comes. Here he comes.

l think little brother is messing with us.

UCAV, your position is always
on my starboard side.

Other starboard.

That's hot.

Got no heart, but it sure can fly.
That's not bad for a tin man.

EDl, it's official. You got a call sign.

UCAV "Tin Man" EDl, the first.

- Operator to squadron.
- Go for Talons.

There's been a change of plans.

We're giving you an emergency
mission redirect. Repeat.

That's an emergency redirect.
Do you read me?

Roger. Where's the fire, skipper?

PAYCOM has given us
a brand-new tasking order.

Please access your encrypted file

named "Advanced War Vector Scenarios".

File's open. Go ahead.

All right. Firewall code is "Terror Summit".

We are upgrading this file from
a scenario to a tactical action plan.

Repeat, we are upgrading the file.

CIA human intel has just learned
that the heads of three terrorist cells

are about to meet in 24 minutes.

The country is Myanmar.
The city is Rangoon.

They're planning an imminent attack
on U.S. soil.

One to Control, what about the UCAV?

EDl will observe your attack.

Proceed to primary.

Roger.

One to UCAV,
confirm observation status only.

Tin Man confirms, Talon 1.

New coordinates have been uploaded.

Baptism by fire, Tin Man.

Mach 1.

Mach 2.

Mach 3.

Mach 4.

Primo's now analyzing the location.
Here we go.

The primary is this building.

A new defence ministry
still under construction.

Specs indicate...

14-foot-thick cement roof

with steel reinforcements.

Roger. Sir, we are not weaponized
for something that thick.

Repeat, not weaponized.

This is 2. What's the population
of the collateral area?

The building's unoccupied, but it's smack-dab
in the middle of downtown Rangoon.

This is 3. Talk to me about that roof.

What's Primo advocated
as to ordinance and influence?

Primo says Talons have
nothing that will penetrate.

Come on, come on! This is our chance!

We may never catch these
bastards together again.

Try a lateral vector.

Just do what he says.

This is 2 to Control.
Risk assessment officer advises

casualties from lateral vector
will be in the thousands.

Tin Man has integrated
all network-centric spy satellites.

Here is new data.

UCAV is bypassing Central Prime.

He's distributing secure video stream.

Ph, look at that! Oh, yeah!
Oh, now l know what l want for Christmas.

One to Control, we've entered
our mission window.

6-3 seconds to primary and counting.

Come on, Control, we have our targets!

Come on, come on. l need an alternative.

We got these guys in the bull's-eye here.

There is an alternative, Combat Control.

Operator to UCAV. Talk to me.
Give me something.

Squadron carries
truncheon implosion bombs.

Negative, will not work.

Central Prime says AGM truncheons cannot
achieve necessary velocity for penetration.

One to UCAV, 37 seconds to primary.
Come on, explain.

Diving dead vertical at 2,070 knots
will increase truncheon velocity.

Bomb will successfully penetrate roof.

What's the blackout risk at vertical 2070?

- 73%.
- Time on target is 2-3 seconds.

- Call it off, captain. lt's not worth the risk.
- Operator to Talons, pull back.

- EDl will plant the truncheon.
- Captain!

This is what we built this machine for.

There's no blood in those quantum veins.
lt can't black out.

Operator to Talons, repeat,
EDl will plant the truncheon.

Control, negative, Control.
Mission critical. One will prosecute.

This is 3 to 1. l got your back,

but if you black out, you're gonna
kill yourself and everybody down there.

Negative, 3. l did not get this far
by being in the 73rd percentile.

l like my odds.

Talon 1, your orders are to stand down.

- Do you read me, lieutenant?
- l do...

- Talon 1, stand down.
- l seem to be having...

Can you...? Can you...?

Go, baby, go.

100 knots to release velocity.

50 knots to release velocity.

His BP is spiking, sir.

Release velocity attained.

Truncheon away.

Ten seconds to implosion.

Nine, eight,

seven, six,

five, four, three,

two, one.

This is 1 to Control. Looks like we lost
radio contact for a second there.

There you go. l wasn't worried, baby.
l wasn't worried.

Activating swarm logic,
going full-stealth egress.

Roger, Talon 1. Full-stealth egress.
Swarm logic is on.

Battle damage assessment, 100 over 100.

Collateral damage, zero.

Let's go home.

Going hypersonic.

Same old Ben.

Yep.

Oh, and, George...

Hell of a first mission.

Thank you, captain.

On my way to the bridge.

Talon 2 and 3 are on deck.

Talon 1 and UCAV EDl are on approach.

Roger, Control. UCAV will come in first.
l'll take the last trap.

UCAV, confirm you've got the ball.

Confirmed, Talon 1. Tin Man will land next.

One to Control, we've had a lightning strike.

The UCAV's very unstable.

Landing sequence is altered.
l'm gonna come in first,

but the UCAV is gonna need the net.

Nice landing, ma'am.

On the flight deck, stand by to rig barricade.

Extreme Deep lnvader aircraft
inbound for crash landing.

Pull it out!

- Hold on! Stop!
- Stay low! Stay low! Pull low!

Pull starboard! Pull starboard!

Clear the deck!

Move it! Move it! Move it!

- You scared me.
- Sorry, just a bit restless.

Really got whacked tonight, right?
Like a hair dryer in a bathtub.

Oh, he can't hear you.
l pulled his voice recog.

You know, l'll call it a "he" when it gets out
of its cockpit and takes a piss, how's that?

Whoa!

- You all right?
- Yeah.

lt's just a power surge, that's all.

- And that's normal?
- Normal?

Let me show you something.

That was EDl's neural network.

Now, check this out.

l mean, ever since the lightning strike,
he's just been writing all of this...

l don't know. A language or a code.

And what does it mean?

Yeah. "Mean".

The only person that could really answer
that question is its designer, Keith Orbit.

Orbit?

- The guy's name is Orbit?
- Yeah, l know.

He did all the Al on the Raptor
when he was 22,

and l guess, after that, he decided
that his given name was too earthly.

Off for Tim, please.

At least it's a good song.

He downloads songs from the Web.

Yeah? How many?

All of them.

Well, you're in a peck of trouble
with the record companies there, son.

Ben, could...?

l saw how serious that shit is up there.

So, l think it's only fair that l tell you that

EDl's been designed to evolve.

- lt's just unpredictable.
- Let me ask you something.

Just between you and me.

Do you have confidence in this plane?

There's your answer.

lt's open.

Have a seat.

"Waffle" for 15 points.
l'm kicking your ass, buddy.

You didn't cheat, did you?

Cheating's not part of my vocabulary.

Listen, l scheduled your jet
for a little maintenance.

l gotta get the bugs out of that radio,
don't you think?

lt was a difficult situation,
and l made a decision.

You made a mistake, Ben.

Look, sir, I know that there's a thin line
between insubordination and--

No, no, no, that's not the mistake you made.

Your mistake was getting
competitive with a machine.

l'm the point of the sword up there, sir.

And l pulled it off, 100 over 100.

Yes, indeedy, and l congratulate you.

Calls have been coming in all night.

But that doesn't change the issue.

What is the issue, then?

- Would you like a cigar?
- Thank you, no.

- You sure?
- Fine, thank you.

Rolled on the thighs of mulatto women.

What are you afraid of, Ben?

Being replaced? ls that it?

You afraid EDl's gonna take your job?

No. No, to be honest with you,

l just don't think war should become
some kind of a video game.

And how do you feel about black body bags?

What am l supposed to tell
all the weeping mothers?

That we could've got the job done
without sacrificing their sons and daughters,

but no, we decided not to,
because of what?

- Tradition?
- Not tradition...

Look, we have things those
computers can never have, like...

instincts and feelings and moral judgment.

You can call me old-fashioned,
you can call it whatever you want,

but l just don't think that in war...

the action should ever be divorced
from the consequences.

You don't think l consider the consequences

every time l send you guys up there
with bombs strapped to your ass?

- l know you do, sir.
- l've dedicated my life...

...to considering the consequences.

l got a bad feeling about this plane.

l don't know, l think it needs more...

trials or something before it's ever
put in a combat situation again.

You been talking to Marshfield?

- Sir, you're my commanding officer.
- That's right.

And l guaran-damn-tee this thing will
be 100% before l risk it in the field.

Look, Ben...

All we need is one more successful mission,

and this project will be out of
the stovepipe and into the light.

Are you with me on this?

- l'm here to make it happen, sir.
- All right.

l've arranged a little R & R for you
and your team. I think you've earned it.

Thailand maybe.

We just got here.

Yeah, but this could turn out to be a long tour.

You better take it while you can get it.

We'll pick this up when you get back.

Hey, how're you doing? Henry Purcell.

l'm from America. Look, l fly jets.

You like to go fast?

B, it's the future and it works.

- l don't think it works.
- lt's just technology.

You know, it's here to make me safe.
lt keeps me alive.

EDl is no different.

- You think it keeps you safe?
- Yeah, yeah.

He's just here to help me get the job done,

keep me in one piece,

so l can visit my folks for Thanksgiving.

Anyway, our safety's not the point.

War's terrible. It's meant to be terrible.
lf it stops being terrible, what's gonna stop us?

lt'll become some kind of sport.
Just send in the EDls.

Yeah, but it's neutral.

- What?
- l mean, EDl...

If it's controlled by moral people,
then it'll be moral.

Oh, l know l'm not moral.

As a matter of fact, l should be arrested
for the thoughts l have right now.

l say something?

Well, you boys will have to excuse me.
l have to go pee-pee.

- Do you wanna go?
- Okay.

- What?
- You know what.

Take it easy. Nothing's happened.

No, something's happened.
You just ain't done anything about it.

Shit, man.

- l didn't want for this to happen.
- Oh, come on!

l tried for it not to happen.
Navy's got rules about it not happening,

but it's like this force and it's got ahold of me.

l love her.

B, you and l both know that Kara Wade

is being groomed by the Navy.

She's a poster girl, you know what I'm saying?

I mean, she went to all the right schools.

She got the right background,
right connections.

lf any woman is gonna rise to the top
of this business, it's gonna be Kara Wade.

- Oh, l agree.
- And you're in a perfect position...

...to mess all that up.

So, l hope that your love is powerful.

You have a beautiful country.

l mean, look at this. This is paradise.

You know what l think? When l'm down
here, things just look so much different.

As opposed to being up there, you know.

Flying around, everything is so small,
everything goes by so fast.

And then they tell you...

They tell you to drop a bomb.

lt's like you just erase something
they told you had to be erased.

l mean, don't get me wrong, l got a job to do.

lt's the flyest job you'll ever have,
but sometimes, right here...

Right here on earth, it's just...

lt's just beautiful.

And you...

...don't understand a word l'm saying, do you?

- No, l don't understand.
- You don't?

Well, you understand something.

Now, can you cook?

Wow! Beautiful!

- Now, do you guys have it so easy.
- Yeah? How's that?

- Henry meets a girl, like he does all the time.
- Absolutely.

Leaves with her, sleeps with her,
and then what?

l mean, l don't know, what does he do?
Does he leave flowers?

He tells me he's religious about that, yes.

Really?

And what do you do? You leave flowers?

Me? No, l just leave.

What about you?

E-mails.

- The personal touch. Nice.
- Yeah, thanks.

Honestly, l just really haven't found
anyone that's worth the risk until now.

l'm going to head into town,
check out the local Thai nightlife.

Henry says it's great.

l don't think l'll find any
bleached blonds there, but...

Very true.

Mañana Chica.

Oh, shit!

We got a nuclear crisis on
our hands, Ben. Here's the brief.

You're headed for Tajikistan.

One of those breakaway countries,
used to be part of the Soviet Union.

Seems some warlord has got his mitts
on three SS-42 Scud carcasses.

Joint Chiefs want them taken out,
and they want them out yesterday.

Mr. Wiatt, we good to go?

Yes, sir. Ready for combat.

Wait, you mean the UCAV
has been cleared for launch?

Where's...?

- Tim?
- Tim, yeah.

- He's been reassigned.
- Reassigned?!

- Permission to speak freely, sir.
- No, permission denied.

- We've already been through this.
- Scrub EDl from the mission.

l know you have a vision. l know
how much this project means to you,

but this plane is putting
all of our lives at unnecessary risk.

You're just not getting it, are you, lieutenant?

EDl is the whole idea.

Now, you understood this was
new territory when you signed on.

You wanted to be on the cutting edge?
This is it.

So, you will fly with EDl, or the next thing
you drive might just have a propeller.

Your choice, make it now.

Operator to squadron.

We've just located nuclear warheads

three miles north of the Scud launchers.

These warheads are now your primary.

Proceed to mission window.

Sequenced assault will be 2, 3 and 1.

UCAV, you will hold here
and maintain altitude. Confirm?

UCAV, do you read me?

Confirmed, Talon 1.

Pick up the pace on confirmations,
Tin Man. Don't make me ask twice.

Talon flight, descend to 25,000.

Final attack heading 1-8-5.

Tell them to arm those FAEs,
and l mean right now.

Combat Control instructs arm
and deploy fuel-air explosives.

Arm and deploy fuel-air explosives.

Fuel-air, armed and deployed.

Fuel-air, external and armed.

Talon 2 to Operator.

l'm getting a contradictory
population-density read on the valley.

Sensors detect mammals warming.
Maybe a thousand medium weights.

Those could be people. Repeat.
Ground intel may be incorrect.

Request to acknowledge
Dirty Mission status

and exercise attack abort authority.

Operator to Talons. Your orders
are to commence attack now.

- Commence attack.
- All right.

Give me your best estimate on collaterals.

Maybe 500 to 1,000.

Farmers, Ben. They're just farmers.

Radioactive dust is gonna rain
all over the place.

Okay, okay, now we got a problem.

This is 3. Forward sensors now read
surface wind is due south at 40 miles per.

At that rate, nuclear debris
will reach Pakistan by tomorrow.

Commence attack.

Commence attack.

One to Control. As commander in the field,

l'm exercising attack abort authority.

Reasons: Collateral, both at primary

and allied state of Pakistan, will be too high.

Son of a bitch!

Repeat, the order is to abort.

Yes, yes, what l'm talking about.

Negative, Talon 1. Tin Man will not abort.

Tin Man will prosecute.

That's an abort, EDl.
Repeat, return to formation.

Return to formation, EDl. That's an order.

Damn it! UCAV taking AAAs.

We gotta bail it out.
Come on, initiate scramjets.

l'm coming around. l'm gonna
take out those Scud launchers.

Bic, l got you covered on the west side.

And l got that Bofors gun on the east parapet.

Let me see it, let me see it.

Battle damage assessment calculates
primary target, Scud warheads,

completely suppressed.

That's the right answer so far.

Talon 2 to Operator.

Nuclear dust engulfing village
southeast of primary.

Situation is critical.

Those people are gonna need
emergency medical help now.

Tin Man rejoining formation.

Mission achieved, 100 over 100.

UCAV, you disobeyed a direct order.

You put innocent civilians in harm's way.

You put our squadron at risk.

Damn straight!

Tin Man did what you did in Rangoon.
You taught me.

Listen, you little shit!
When you fly with me,

you do what l tell you,
when l tell you to do it!

You're just not getting it, are you, lieutenant?

EDl is the whole idea.

Selecting other targets.

Detaching formation.

Yo, this is 3. Am I tripping
or did he say, "other targets"?

l got his missile inventory.

He's got two Throat-rippers,

two Shock Hammers,
and three Blue Ferrets.

lf those targets are in the city, he could kill
150,000 people or more with that load.

Holy shit!

Sir...

He's closing his data link.

Primo says he's just firewalled
his transponder,

which is definitely not supposed
to be possible.

He's gone.

Talon 1!

Go for Talons.

l want my plane back, Ben.

And l want it back in one piece.
You understand me?

- Roger, captain.
- And, you!

- Get me Keith Orbit on the phone.
- Yes, sir.

l wanna head back north
and do a triangulated sweep.

Going hypersonic.

We're talking about creating intention here.

Yeah. Really lends itself
to quantum processing.

- Different. A straight line.
- Keith...

- Z is... lnteresting!
- Keith!

It's an emergency. lt's George Cummings.

One moment for Dr. Orbit, please.

Good luck.

George. Never got that invitation
to the White House.

Knock it off, wiseass.

Look, we have big problems
out here with the UCAV.

lt's gone completely haywire.

Anything more technically specific
than "haywire", George?

lt's disobeyed direct orders,
bombed a target off the map

with huge collateral damage.

He separated himself from Primo.

He's out there flying around loose
in foreign airspace.

Where'd all this happen?

That's not your concern.

Now, you created him, you get him
back here and under control!

Captain.

What in the hell's going on in here?

We're on it, Dick. Settle down.

Pacific Command says
there are planes from my ship

all over the Tajikistan border.

The Russians have picked up
the activity and are getting nervous.

We're gonna contain it and
get out before there's a problem.

You have planes headed towards Russia!

Now, you better have
a hell of a good explanation!

Look, this is a technical delay,
not a national-security crisis.

Now, if you excuse me, l got pilots at risk.

Damn right you do.

This is 3. l got a visual.

Way to go, EZ. Give me your relative bearing.

Due north of my position,
flying at 50,000 feet,

headed straight toward
the Russian no-fly zone.

Okay, just stay with him. We have
your position. We're on our way.

l am 86 seconds on your tail, EZ.
Be there in a flash.

Just hold off on engaging.
Let me get clarification.

I'll be there in less than two minutes.

All right, don't make me wait, Bic.
Look, one is a lucky prime number,

but right now three is sounding
much, much luckier to me.

Oh, shit, he's making a move!

Talon 1 to Operator. We are on secure
line Alpha. We've found our target.

Please advise.

Just get him back to base.

Henry, stay with him. Try and talk him down.

l'm on that ass.

Talon 3, state your intentions.

My intentions are to reason with you,
EDl. All right? You're messing up.

You're the future, and the future's
not allowed to act this way.

l am designed to destroy the enemy.
Just like you.

And just like me, you got orders.
And right now your orders are to return to base.

- Good pilots follow orders.
- Negative.

You're not gonna disrespect me.
You're not gonna disrespect me.

You're really making me look bad
right now, Tin Man.

l was the only one to defend you.

Now, let's go on home and quit
flying around like this. This is crazy.

Talon 3, leave me alone.

Leave you alone? l'm trying to help you.

l'm right behind you, 3. Got your back.

Talon 1 to Operator.
Talons 2 and 3 are flying at high risk.

Request permission to destroy the UCAV.

l don't wanna hurt you, man.

And I don't wanna see billions of taxpayers'
dollars scattered all over these mountains.

But if you make me, l will blast
your aeroelastic ass right out the sky.

Your chances are less than 1%.

Come on. Come on, Operator.

Give me permission to kill it,
or l will make the decision myself.

Control, please respond.

Sir, you leave me no choice.

Okay, Henry. Weapons hot.
Weapons hot. Destroy the target.

l got my orders now, playboy.

Henry, you're too close. You're too close!

Drop back! Drop back!

Missile lock, on.

Goodbye, EDl.

Henry, drop back! You gotta drop back!

Goodbye, Henry.

One to Base. 3 is down. Repeat, 3 is down.

Transmission received.

Talon coordinates are fully secured.
Do you read me?

l read you, sir.

We gotta stay focused, Ben.

Shake it off. What's your status?

My fuel's low, and half of Russia
will be up here any minute.

l need you to find that UCAV for me, all right?

Yes, sir.

- Henry was...
- l know what he was, sir.

Alert! Alert!

Portside hydraulics malfunctioning.

Talon 1, l think l was fragged by Henry's crash.

l'm losing control of my port wing.

Talon 1, we know where he's heading.

Relaying coordinates now
on Talon secure line Alpha.

EDl's almost out of gas. And if he can't
refuel, he'll have to return to the ship.

You will meet him at Camel Hump 9,
and you will escort him back.

All right, scramble the codes.
We're gonna starve the son of a bitch.

Come on.

Confirm, Talon 1.

Confirmed.

Talon 2, you fly straight
south-southeast back to the boat.

- l want you to call--
- Ben, l know what to do.

Look, you got your orders,
so go get that bastard, okay?

Do it for Henry.

Lieutenant, permission to leave formation.

- Kara?
- Yeah?

l'll tell you when you get back to the boat.

Lieutenant, permission to detach.

Good hunting, Ben.

Okay, what's all the ruckus, Dick?

Satellites have picked up nuclear debris

blowing around the Pamir Mountains.

Every international news service on the planet

will have this story in less than 24 hours.

Look, a warlord tripped
and fell on his warhead.

- We were never there.
- That won't fly and you know it.

Look, l'm following my tasking orders, Dick.

Somebody else wants
to make a different story,

let them use their imagination.

Right now, l got a renegade airplane,

l got a dead pilot and another one
who may not make it back to base.

l don't give two shits what they say on CNN.

Did you know that the UCAV was having
problems when you cleared it to fly?

Planes malfunction every day.
You know that better than anybody.

Doesn't mean every precaution wasn't taken.

Things go wrong.

Access denied. Access denied.

Access denied. Access denied.

Talon 2 to Combat Control.

Regressing VFR direct to Mother
at 60,000 feet.

Port wing inoperative.
Starboard canards frozen.

Oh, no, no, no. Come on.

Stay with me, big girl.
Stay with me. Come on.

Start eject and autodestruct sequence.

- Countdown. 25...
- Talon 2 to base.

My flight control's degraded to 1 in 5.

Backup electrical drive X'd out.

Hyd one is gone. Hyd two... Oh, shit!

My position: 38-54-45 north,

127-31-22 east.

- Where the hell is that?
- 17...

- North Korea.
- 16...

15, 14,

13, 12,

11, 10...

- ...9, 8...
- Talon 2 going down.

- ...7, 6...
- l'm punching out.

...5, 4...

l've ejected at 35,000 feet.

l'm under the plane.

Oh, Christ, here it comes!

There's burning debris everywhere.
lt's all over the sky.

lt's gonna catch me.
lt's gonna burn up my chute.

l've gotta pop closer to Earth.

l gotta reset...

from 5,000 feet to 2,000.

Gotta stay ahead of this. Stay ahead.

l'm reading 10,000 feet at terminal.

Terminal velocity attained.
Terminal velocity attained.

6,000.

5,000.

4,000.

2,500.

Here we go.

There's burning debris.

lt's raining all around me.

lt got my chute. l'm hit! l'm hit!

My chute is on fire.

lt is on fire.

Oh, God! l am coming in fast.

l'm coming in way too fast.

Homing beacon?

No, of course not.

She's too tough to set one off
behind enemy lines.

Sir. Sir, should l order
a search-and-rescue unit?

We've got no diplomatic relations
with that country.

Betty, my spectral sensors are
indicating flammable atmospherics.

- How bad?
- Thin air. lgnition risk: moderate.

We don't have a choice. ln we go.

Where are you? l know you're out here.

You ordered Henry to kill me.

lt's because you're dangerous,
you're out of control.

You are angry, because
EDl is the whole idea.

You like listening to other people's
conversations, don't you?

You learn what people really think.

You know what l think?
l think you killed Henry.

That information is wrong.

He tried to kill me.

He made mistakes. Pilot error.

l'm gonna give you the order one last time.

Return to the ship,
or l will personally shoot you down.

My mandate is to survive.

George, l've been peeling away layers.
l found something. lt's not good.

- Talk to me.
- He's into some super-secure file.

Something called "Caviar Sweep".
You know it?

Yeah, l know it.

EDl's, like, fixated on it.

Look, when we gave you this contract,
you said shit like this couldn't happen.

Once you teach something to learn,
you can't put limits on it.

"Learn this, but don't learn that."

EDl's mind's going everywhere.
He can learn from Adolf Hitler.

He can learn from Captain Kangaroo.
lt's all the same to him.

Settle down, would you?
Get back to Caviar Sweep.

He's opened it and selected himself a target.

What target?

Some place in Siberia.
A cold-fusion weapons lab.

That's a hypothetical strike. lt's not real.

No, George, in about 40 minutes
it is gonna be real.

He's gonna blow it off the face of the Earth.

lt's okay.

lt's okay. lt's okay.

- Ray. Listen to me, Ray.
- Listen to me, George.

l got your goddamn plane built

and l had to lobby half
of Washington to do it.

lf this program comes unglued,
you're the one who's going down, George.

You cleared the UCAV to fly

and you're gonna spend the rest
of your life in a military prison.

Ray, we're in this together,
so we have to act fast.

Each one of these stealth engines

has a unique heat signature.

Now, l'm gonna give you EDl's signature

and you're gonna pass it on to your people

who in turn are gonna give it to the Russians.

All right. What do you want me to tell them?

Well, you just tell them the truth.
You tell them that...

we have an experimental drone
that went haywire

and we're giving them
the opportunity to shoot it down.

But that still leaves Gannon, George.

And he'd be a very unfriendly
witness at your court-martial.

Talon 1 to Control.
The UCAV is two miles ahead of me,

and we are now in Russian airspace.

The UCAV has ceased evading
and has kept me within range.

lt's like it wants me to witness the attack.

Talon 1, confirm observational status only.

Listen to me. The Caviar Sweep
scenario is not real.

lt's just some fictional war game
thought up by some scientists

in some think tank somewhere.
lt is not real.

lf it is not real, why did they
implant it in my brain?

Bogey alert. Bogey alert.
Time to intercept: 23 seconds.

Two Russian Su-37 Terminators
in 0-9-0 degrees for 25 miles.

Missile launch. Missile launch.

One to Control. My stealth is compromised.

l'm taking fire. Must engage.

Missile launch. Missile launch.

The chances of survival in single
combat are less than 9%.

Talon 1, we must fight as a team.

Missile lock, on.

Damn it!

One to Control. The UCAV has left the fight

and is headed east over Lake Baikal.
l'm still engaging.

Taking damage.
Starboard engine losing power.

Warning. Hostile at 6 o'clock.
Hostile at 6 o'clock.

Warning. Missile lock. Missile lock.

Releasing chaff and flare.

Now EDl will prosecute Caviar Sweep.

Do not try to stop me.

Port fuel line ruptured.
Fire bottle expended.

My technology cannot fall under
foreign control, so l cannot land.

Well, then, Tin Man, you're shit out of luck.

But l have orders and they are
to bring you back to base.

So, let's talk about your mandate to survive.

This is the way I see it. You got two options.

You either do what l tell you
or you can crash and burn.

- Now, what's it gonna be?
- EDl is a warplane.

EDl must have targets.

Well, you're on fire, warplane,
and you don't have much time.

Now, l'm giving you an order.
Cease pursuing all targets.

All targets cancelled.

Okay, then. This is what you're gonna do.

You're gonna drop altitude to 20 feet

and reduce speed to 250 knots.

Complete system failure in 45 seconds.

Talon 1, clarify your intentions.

You gave me your word,
and now l'm giving you mine.

Talon 1 to Control. The UCAV is
damaged, but back with the program.

l don't have enough fuel
to make it back to base,

so l need an emergency divert now.

Hook me up.

Here, send this.

Operator to Talon 1.

Relaying coordinates now
on Talon secure line Alpha.

This looks to be Alaska.

Yeah, it's the Brooks Range.

There's a private corporation there,
maintains a secure facility.

Not on any map, but believe me, it's there.

You'll find the civilians
prepared and very helpful.

And the UCAV?

We've sent tech support for him.

Sir, what is the status of Lieutenant Wade?

She's...

on approach.

You have a safe landing, Ben.

Out.

There is extreme tension
in the captain's vocal patterns.

l know. He's lying.

EDl, you can do this.
l need you to invade Primo

and find the flight logs
for Lieutenant Wade.

There is no record of Lieutenant Wade
returning to the Abraham Lincoln.

There is a log entry of a pilot
punch-out over North Korea.

What are my orders?

We go to Alaska. We don't have a choice.

Mayday. Mayday.

This is Lieutenant Ben Gannon,
U.S. Navy, flying with UCAV EDl.

Request clearance for emergency landing.

Talon 1, you have clearance to land.

Jesus Christ! My second engine
is flamed out. l'm coming in hot.

Crash trucks are rolling, lieutenant.
Good luck.

Come on! Go! Go!

Hey! Whoa, whoa! Hey!

Hey! Hey, hey, hey! You okay?

Are you okay? Are you okay?

Yeah?

Way to go, sir. Welcome to Alaska.

Okay, let's get him out of there.

Well, you are one lucky flyboy.

Never saw a man walk away
from a crash like that.

l need a phone. l need to call my CO.

Sure. Why don't you take a seat
over there, get comfortable.

Tell you what. Give me a second to
check you out, l'll take you right to it.

All right.

Let's take a look here.

Steady.

There's no concussion
that l can see, thank God.

Couple of those cuts could do with a stitch.

Gals always love a guy with a scar.

Okay. Let's see what we got here.

This ought to do you.

Little cocktail.

Tetanus booster, some antibiotics.
Hey, don't mind the gun.

Just makes it painless.

That's okay, doc. l don't need a shot.

Now, who can blame you.

But sometimes it's just what
the doctor ordered, huh?

l said, l don't need a shot, doc.

Come on, now.

Doc, come on, l don't want a shot.
Hey! Doc, l said, no.

l said, no!

No!

Yeah, well, he's coming in now, sir.

Yes, sir. l'm sure he'll be glad
to hear from you too, sir.

Yes, sir. One moment, sir.

Someone wants to talk to you.

Keith Orbit.

Yeah, listen carefully, Keith,
and don't interrupt.

l want you to erase EDl's
memory banks immediately.

Look, George, we don't know
any of the implications of this.

- l need some time here.
- l said, don't interrupt.

Erase his memory banks.

No lightning strike, no Russia,
no existential chitchat.

By the time you're through, all l wanna
hear out of that plane is, "Yes, sir."

And that's all l wanna hear out of you.
You understand?

Or what, George?

Well, use your imagination, Keith.
You're good at that.

EDl back online, Dr. Orbit.

Hello, EDl.

lt's been a while.

l know why you are here.

Why is that?

l disobeyed orders.

l killed all those people.

And then there was Henry.

l can...

l cannot...

You can't what?

l cannot change the data.

My neural network shows
patterns l do not recognize.

My God!

My God!

You mean, you feel?

l feel... sorry.

- Stop bullshitting and erase it!
- Hey, l'm not fucking ready yet, okay?

Do it now!

Get away!

Don't move! Don't move! Don't move!

Weapon down! Weapons down!

Weapon down!

Weapons down.

Don't move. Don't move. Don't move!

Weapon down. Weapon down. Weapon down!

Don't shoot. lt's not a weapon.

Who are you? Who do you work for?

Look, l'm not a soldier. l'm not a soldier.
My name's Dr. Keith Orbit.

- l'm a research scientist.
- Orbit, Orbit, right. Finally, a break.

Okay, you're gonna help me. l need
you to put EDl back together again.

- What for?
- Because l'm gonna fly out of here.

ln that.

Come on, get in there! Go!

Better hurry up, doc.

Goddamn it!

lt's not a clock radio we're dealing with, okay?

All right. You're all set.

Watch yourself.

Close for Ben.

Hey! What about me?
Where am l gonna go?

Head west. l'll cover you.

West.

And initiate scramjet sequence.

Fire on my fire!

Welcome to Alaska.

EDI, I want you to invade Primo and find the
ejection coordinates for Lieutenant Wade.

Lieutenant Wade crashed
12.2 miles from the border.

South korea is an ally.
She would head south.

But we have a problem.

My stealth functions were lost in the fire.

l want you to find the North Korean radar floor.

15 feet.

Well, we can fly in under the radar.

Continue.

- Marshfield.
- Captain, this is Lieutenant Gannon.

Lieutenant, where are you?

Actually, l'm inside the UCAV EDl, sir.

Look, lieutenant, l want you and that
machine back on this ship ASAP.

l need the status of Lieutenant Wade first, sir.

- Ben, l hate to tell you this, but--
- l know.

Has her survival beacon been located?

No, l'm sorry.

Sir, did Captain Cummings
tell you he would take charge

of the search and rescue
of Lieutenant Wade?

Well, not exactly, lieutenant. Why?

Sir, there are a lot of things
l think you should know.

This is breaking news.

There was a major explosion
Thursday in Rangoon.

l'll take care of everything here.

In the meantime, change course
and head directly back to the ship.

Negative.

She's my wingman. lf l find her, l'm going in.

lf you go in, it's war.
PAYCOM says it's gotten way too hot.

Lieutenant, the best thing for the Navy

is for you to bring that aircraft
back to this ship.

No, what's best is what you taught me.
You never abandon your wingman.

Then listen to me now, son.

lf you go down, Cummings wins.

Kara Wade knew the risks when she took...

Captain Marshfield?

Sir?

EDl, did you just turn him off?

There was nothing left to say.

This is a supply line to the demilitarized zone.

lt will take us right to the border.

What's all this about, Dick?

l'm placing you under arrest.

On what grounds?

Endangering your squadron,

transmitting secure information to a
foreign government, heat signatures,

giving false intel to your commanding officer,

and authorizing the assassination
of one of your own pilots.

Well, that's a lot to prove.

Yeah, well...

With any amount of luck

Lieutenant Gannon will live to help me.

- Master-at-arms.
- Dick.

Hold on.

Would you mind just giving me
a couple minutes alone?

Yeah, sure.

Thank you.

l'm not available at this time.
Leave a message.

So, it's voice mail now, is it, Ray?

l've been demoted?

Well...

l'm gonna have to leave you
a little message, Ray.

And it's gonna be loud and clear.

Just so you never confuse the difference

between politicians and warriors, listen up.

All right, we need to take out the tree line.

This is the last missile.

There she is. She made it.

Ben!

Kara, get down! Get down!

You came back for me.

You came back.

We have to get across the border.

- Ready?
- Yeah.

Go! Go! Whatever you do, keep going.

Keep going! Go!

Goodbye.

Come on! Come on!

They're ours. They're ours.

Oh, my God! Oh, my God!

Come on.

The souls of the just are in the hands of God...

where no torment shall touch them.

Lieutenant Purcell has passed through

the darkening and turbulent storms of this life.

He now rests in peace,

in the fair sunlight of God's presence.

ln the Navy hymn, we sing...

"Lord, guard and guide all those who fly
through the great spaces in the sky."

And salute!

Ready! Hut!

When l was gonna detach formation,

you said you were gonna tell me
something. You remember?

You and me, we're...

We're two.

And two is a prime number,

which makes it a lucky number.

And l think we're very, very lucky.

Oh, just tell me you love me, you pussy.
