Korea, 1950.

America fights in a war
that leaves two million dead.

The fighting ends in a draw,
leaving Korea divided-

North and Southand
technically still at war.

The north becomes a surreal
blend of Stalinism, Communism

and cult of personality
dictatorship, known to the world

as the Democratic People's
Republic of Korea, or the D.P.R.K.

April 1994.
The D.P.R.K. stuns the world

when it announces its withdrawal
from the Nonproliferation Treaty

and reveals its plan to
build nuclear weapons.

May 1994.

Determined to prevent North Korea
from becoming a nuclear power,

President Bill Clinton orders
Defense Secretary William Perry

to draw up military OPLAN 5027-

a U.S. surgical strike on the
nuclear reactor at Yongbyon.

Many voice their concern the
D.P.R.K. might retaliate

with their 11,000 artillery tubes
trained on Seoul, South Korea.

Just as the N.S.C. is meeting
to discuss the evacuation

of all nonmilitary personnel in Seoul,

there is a telephone call from
former U.S. President Jimmy Carter.

As a private citizen, President
Carter had flown to Pyongyang,

met with North Korea's
leader, Kim Il Sung

and struck a deal which
averted military action.

Had OPLAN 5027 been executed,

the Pentagon had projected
up to one million deaths.

Few people realize, in June 1994,

America was days, if not hours,
away from war with North Korea.

They're gonna crucify Weylon for this.

How long till launch time?
They're saying six days.

Τen-hut! Good morning, sir.

All right, Weylon. Tell me what you know.

Mr. President, Secretary of Defense
Beekman is in Qatar for the week

unless you direct him home sooner.

General Vance,
as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs,

will be discussing the military
viewpoint. Mr. President.

General.

Sir, a-approximately six hours ago,

the satellite reconnaissance
center analyzed imaging data from a-

Mr. President, umOh,
I'm sorry, guys. Be seated.

Imaging data from a
KH-12 over North Korea

showing what we can now
say with certainty

is a three-stage, Topol-class
intercontinental ballistic missile

at the Yongjiri Missile Center.

We were actually extremely
fortunate to acquire these images

as the crane was loading the
missile into its underground silo.

If it was half an hour later,
we never would have seen it.

Sir, the longest-range missile
North Korea had prior to this

would have run out of
fuel somewhere over Alaska.

Three stages means it can hit New York,
Washington, D.C.anywhere in CON-U.S.

What do we know about its payload? -
From these images, it's impossible to say.

Could it be a warhead or a
nuclear device? We can't say.

It's not likely, Mr. President.

The Lockheed KΗ-12 has a
rotating periscope mirror,

which means it can get a
high angle of obliquity.

We're gonna spin the bird
around, get a better angle.

That'll help us determine the load.

We've always assumed that
North Korea would never deploy a
long-range missile like this

because of our certain and
inevitable military response.

Sir, even test-firing
a three-stage rocket

is a 10-year leap forward in
their strategic capabilities,

and it represents a direct and grave
threat to our national security.

We won't let that happen.

Let's try to keep things
under control tonight, okay?

Let's try.

Shultiess, how you doin'? Good, sir.

What are you doing?

Master Chief asked me to tell him
when this old man gets off the phone.

Well, carry on.

Where'd you find the banana?
Looks like he's 12.

He speaks some Korean,
and he's a hell of a shot.

I need, like, 200500-won coins just
to call Boston. Isn't that ridiculous?

L.Τ., did you get the
score of the 49ers game? -

What was that, 36-27?
Guys, come on. I'm tryin' to count.

The field temperature was, like, 97.
You happy?

You guys suck. Get me a beer.

Meideros, what's goin' on? I got two
8,000-pound laser-guided chopsticks

suspended from an extended-range
CH-53 chopper, and I'm figuring-

Bad idea. You're way
vulnerable to R.P.G.'s coming
from those soy sauce bottles.

Bound to be small-arms fire
coming from the fish flakes.

I bet you even money there's a
sniper hiding in that bowl of jigae.

Gotta think.
That's why I roll with you, man.

Master Chief!
Keep your eye on these.

Baby, is that you?
Fifty bucks says he starts bawlin'.

I'll take that.
I love you so much, baby.

Here it comes. I miss you.

Just tell me what's going on?
Are you okay? Yeah. Yeah.

Wait, wait. Here it comes. Wait for it.

A girl? Wait for it.

This is sad, man.
I can't look. I got a baby girl?

Waterworks. What's up with that?

Hello? Amy!

Hello? This goddamn-

It's a girl? It's a girl, dude.

I got a baby girl. Yeah!
Congratulations, man.

Yo, um, I already talked to Amy about it.

We're gonna name her Bobbi.

That's real nice, Spaz.

I got a baby girl, man.
You got a baby girl.

I got a baby girl, gentlemen!

What's on offer, General?

Sir, we propose Operation Sheet Lightning-

a surgical strike on the missile site.

Multiple cruise missile launches
concurrent with sorties

from seven B-2 Stealth
Spirits and five F-117As.

Ellie?

If it was any other sovereign nation,
sir, I'd urge negotiations.

But D.P.R.K.-

there is just no viable diplomatic option.

And if they do test that missile,

it devastates our footing
in the multilateral talks.

Yeah.

Have the warning orders been
given, General? Yes, sir.

Okay. So we take out the missile site.

What's Pyongyang gonna do?

Well, sir, I think Kim's people
could be persuaded to stand down.

I think the general overestimates
my skills of diplomacy, sir.

What are they gonna do, Weylon?

Either a cantankerous
political-diplomatic protest

or some sort of military
responsenot much in between.

Sir?

Sir, that is Commander Tim Mackey,

Commander, U.S. Naval Base,
Jinhae, South Korea.

Mr. President,
if we attack that missile site,

the D.P.R.K. will most
surely counterattack at Seoul,

using their 11,000 artillery tubes.

That's possible.

Or a more proportional response
would be SCUD missile attack

against the research center at Taejon.

And the South Koreans respond
with a strike at the D.M.Z.-

Or the Pyongyang nuclear facility.

And the North Koreans
respond with their artillery.

We bomb themthey bomb their neighbors.

We have a contingency, sir,
should the north attempt that-

Operation Swift Rage.

We can neutralize 90% of North
Korea's response capabilities

in the first 24 hours of hostilities.

And we'd be at war.

Sir, I believe we've been at
war for at least six hours now.

Mr. President, if I may?

Negative, Commander.

Go on, Commander.

Mr. President, in 1997,

North Korea opened its air
space to commercial airliners.

A platoon from SEALs Team 1 could board
a commercial airlines flight in Seoul,

deploy over North Korea-

You don't think the North Koreans
would pick up a commercial airliner

leaving from a U.S.
military base in South Korea?

Sir, we would just dress the SEALs up,

walk 'em right through
Incheon International,

put 'em on a chartered
commercial airliner and take off.

Mixed right in with civilian
trafficcompletely undetectable.

We would deploy over North Korea,

glide the 60 miles to the
Yongjiri missile site

and sabotage the missile
as it's being fueled.

Secondary explosions should
destroy the entire complex.

Whole thing will be perceived as an
industrial accident of some kind.

North Korea would have no
grounds to retaliate, sir.

And if it turned out to be a nuclear
warhead, what about the radiation?

The blast from the fuel
explosions would be massive, sir.

Even though it wouldn't
be an atomic blast,

it would probably create
its own mushroom cloud.

The heat from the blast would
incinerate any nuclear materials,

alleviating any radiation concerns.

Sir, I don't recommend this.

If they're detected, it's an act of war,
and we lose the element of surprise.

What's the window of opportunity
to explore a Special Ops plan?

I'd say 72 hours, but I wouldn't-

Seventy-two hours.
Sir, a covert action?

I-

We need to send a strong
proportional and visible response

to the North Koreansto the whole world-

to put them on notice
that that dog don't hunt.

We will never allow them
to be an I.C.B.M. power.

Commander Mackey,
could you be ready in 72 hours?

Yes, sir. I believe we could be ready.

Admiral?

It's not much time to put a
mission together, sir, but-

I understand.

Gentlemen, keep up with your preparations.

I'll give you a decision within six hours.

Yes, sir.
We'll give it everything we've got.

Thank you, Mr. President.

We'll give it everything we've got.
Tell me I didn't just say that.

What are you looking at?

Get lieutenant James in here. Yes, sir.

Mr. President,

Kim Jong Il is 5'2.
He wears four-inch lifts. Sexy.

He lives in a pleasure palace
where he indulges his penchant
for Swedish prostitutes.

This missile is pompous
grandstanding by a very small man.

Sir, in 1996, the Korea Institute
for National Reunification

applied a computer model that accurately
predicted Eastern Europe's collapse.

Yeah?
According to the model-

North Korea should have collapsed in 1992.

I say we give this job to Special
Ops and make this all go away

and let North Korea
collapse when it collapses.

Cam?

Yeah.

Okay.

Tell Mackey his mission is a go.

But keep General Vance and his
stealth bombers on standby

should the SEALs fail.

Lieutenant. Colonel.
Thanks for the lift today, sir.

Well, they gave us a nice
plane for this one. I see that.

We gonna get miles for this?
No, but I did order you the kosher meal.

L.Τ.C.

Okay, guys, grab a seat
and stow your stuff.

Let me know when you and your guys
get settled in. We'll be on our way.

Appreciate the hell outta that, sir.

Ηoo-ya, Lieutenant James.
Hoo-ya, Shultiess.

How you feelin' today,
papa? I feel immortal.

I'm the Stoke. Stoke?

Oh, it's just my new call sign.
Wasn't aware you had an old one.

Well, my old one was for
mortals, and I am immortal.

I'm the Stoke. Whatever.

Okay. Good evening, gentlemen,

and welcome to United States
Air Force Flight 738

with nonstop service to
the skies over North Korea,

where we'll be jumping from an
altitude of approximately 33,000 feet.

Meideros in the hatch.
Barnes, Shultiess, Ballantine.

AK-47s.

Not a scratch, guys.
The airline wants this plane back

in the same condition
they gave it to us in.

You got it, Daiwi. Daiwi?
Why do you guys call him that?

I don't call him that, but I've known
him since, like, the second grade.

Hey, hey! What did he just say? I'm sorry.

It's okay, kid.

Hey, you scared? Don't lie to me.

Uh, I don't know. Maybe-Maybe a little.

Damn straight you're scared.
Who wouldn't be?

Yeah. Yeah.

Stick with me, kid. I'm immortal.

Go. Go.

Yeah. A P.V.C. 77 satcom.

That's you, schoolboy.

Give it to Ballantine.
I got it.

Okay, gentleman,
time to give up the personal shit.

Throw in the jewels. Let's go, boys.

Be careful with that. That's my wife.

I want these back.

What are those, son?

I said, what are those, Ensign?

Silver wings, Master Chief! Bullshit!

Army lead wings, son.

You get 'em inside Cracker Jacks.

Where'd you get 'em, son?
Fort Benning, Master Chief.

Fort Benning, Georgia.

The army's version of 48
hours of intensive training

crammed into 21 days.

Making pussy-ass static-line
jumps out of an army C-141

and landing on firm ground.

My one-year-old, Scott Jr., can do that.

You see these? Yes, Master Chief.

Navy gold wings, son.

Get those out of my sight.
I will teach you to drop like a Navy SEAL-

from heights where
there's no air to breathe

into water so cold
you'll wish you was dead.

You will drop at night with N.V.G.'s,

fall five minutes before
you pull your cord.

And if you manage to stay
alive through all that,

we'll see about getting
you a pair of these.

Is that clear?

Hoo-ya, Master Chief!

I don't know why you
always bring these, sir.

You just make sure I get 'em back.

Yes, sir.

Check your O rings now.

How you doin' there, Shultiess?

Good, sir.

Sir, it says here that the
Koreans, uh, believe in shamans.

Sometimes he appears as an old man.
Sometimes as a tiger.

Sometimes as a leopard.
Everything's gonna be all right.

Ye-Uh-

It's just, uh-

I was glad to read about
those shamans, you know?

I don't want to die in a
godless land, sir. That's all.

Hey.

Nobody's dying from my stick.
You copy that, sailor?

Yes, sir.

Makes me look bad.

Pressurize in six. Pressurize in six.

Six minutes. Six. Six to go.

On deck. Six minutes.

Sir, we're ready for the bounce. Okay.

Two minutes.

All right, listen up.
What is your problem?

I'm throwing up.
I hate jumping out of airplanes.

Swallow it. I am.

Pencil-dick engineers
designed this aircraft

to carry pussy-ass corporate
businessmen from Omaha to St. Louis.

If they see you chuckin',
they're gonna red tag you. I know.

Sometimes we may find it useful
to jump out of a commercial
piece of shit such as this.

What I don't get is why you
go Navy SEALs when you hate
jumping out of frickin' airplanes.

I like swimming. I'm a good swimmer.

Depressurize.

Now, obviously,
the pencil dicks in Seattle

didn't design this ramp to be
deployed under these conditions.

The system's hydraulics can't
compete with the overwhelming force

of the airstreams under the fuselage,

preventing the stairs
from locking into place.

Fortunately, the U.S. Navy
has devised the bounce.

Now, personally,

I've seen men injured, maimed

and even killed attempting to do this.

So I suggest you pay close att-

Like I said-

Anyone laughs, you're fucking dead.

Shultiess. You're jumping first.

Trust me. It's better that way.

The high-altitude,
high-opening dropthe HAHO.

The single most effective
aerial infiltration available
to the special warfare operator.

Ensign James, if I hear
one snortle, one snicker,

one chuckle out of you or Callaghan,

I will personally give you both
one of these. I shit you not!

Understood? Hoo-ya, Master Chief.

The MΤ1Xthe crown
jewelthe crown jewel-

The crown jewel of naval parachutes.

It can put a spec war operator
anywhere on this earth at any time.

Provided, that is, you survive the jump.

All right, Barnes. Open her up. Oxygen.

Although the missile has already been
lowered into its underground casing,

we were able to use thermal imaging
to acquire these new target folders.

From this lower perigee,

these images clearly show a
diamond-shaped missile tip.

Indicative of a nuclear-tipped warhead.

Mr. President, we can now
say with high confidence

that this missile was designed
to deliver a nuclear device.

How do we know it's carrying one?

How do we know it's not a dummy warhead

that's tricked out to look
like a nuclear warhead?

Well, sir, when plutonium is reprocessed
to make a nuclear bomb material,

it emits a radioactive gaskrypton-85.

Our Lacrosse Synthetic Aperture Radar
detected this gas from Yongjiri

at levels consistent with
the existence of a mid-range,

three-to-five megaton nuclear device.

Mr. President, we are as sure
about this as we ever were
about any Soviet missile site.

That is an actual, live,
nuclear-tipped missile on the launchpad.

What's more disturbing, Mr. President,
is they seem to be fueling this missile

to its highest alert level.

In this condition,
it could be launched within three
minutes of receiving a go order.

And then how much time do we have-
Thirty minutes.

That's right.

A Τopol-class missile
launched from North Korea

would strike the United States
in approximately 30 minutes.

Once it's in the air, there is no asset
in our arsenal that can bring it down.

Sir, in light of this, I think we
ought to revisit your decision

to give Mackey's team the go-ahead.

Mazetti, you're up.
Let's go, Mazetti!

Good bounce. Thank you, sir.

Good bounce, Mazetti!

Ten bucks says the new guy
freezes. Shut up, Mazetti!

Shultiess!

Happy jumping, Shultiess. Thank you, sir.

Meideros!

This is what we do, boys.

Whoo!

Mazetti, hold on.

Ηold on, guys. Back up.

Team leader, this is the cockpit.
Pentagon is saying stand down.

Abort.

Abort! Abort!

Un-fucking-believable.

We have an abort mission.
You keep these boys on the plane!

Bobby!

What the hell's going on,
Chief! Get back, sailor.

Mazetti, on the hatch.
Ballantine, check the hydraulics.

What are you doing?
Our guys are out there!

Following orders.
Now step back, Master Chief.

That's bullshit! They got no satcom!

Bobby is completely fucked down there.

They will send a cleanup team.
Mazetti, on the hatch!

Ballantine, take it off. Take it off!

Callaghan, what are you doing?

Can't send a clean-up crew'cause they'll
never find 'em, and the North Ko's will.

That's not for you to decide.
Mazetti, on the hatch!

Callaghan, you will not exit this plane.

Barnes, I am making this jump!

Callaghan, don't be an idiot!

Track this leg for coordinates.

Stay on oxygen until we stabilize.

Exit airplane, proper body position.

Forget that.

Today, we're gonna go through a variety
of non-optimal parachute functions-

inversions, cigarette rolls,
line-overs, totals,

and, my personal favorite, the Mae West.

All of which have one thing
in common-they're all fatal.

Stay with the program.
Don't deploy in spin.

Spin recovery-full spread eagle.
Spin recovery-arch back.

Don't deploy. Recover position.

Gain control. Deploy parachute.

Come on, Bobby, stay with the program.

Gain control. Deploy parachute.
Brace for opening shock.

On rare occasions,
your parachute will fail to deploy.

It is for this reason the U.S. Navy
provides you with a reserve chute.

But before you attempt to
cut away your main chute,

you must first cut away your Twinkie.

Cut away the chute.

Get to the Twinkie. Get to the Twinkie.

Worse than a total deployment
failure is a partial deployment.

Centrifugal force rushes all the
blood from your brain to your feet.

Fifteen seconds, you get tunnel vision.

Ten seconds, you black out.

After that, you die.

Ka-bar knife. Right thigh pocket.

Full spread eagle.
Brace for opening shock.

Crown jewel, my ass.

What's going on, Admiral?

The situation's very fluid here.

Four of my guys jumped
before the recall order was-

That's not how I heard it, Commander.

I heard two of your guys, including
your lieutenant, jumped after the red.

From what I gather, General Vance,

Lieutenant James slipped at the exit
point and was sucked out the plane.

And Callaghan? Well,
he may have jumped before the order.

His comm unit was probably-
Don't bullshit a bullshitter, Mackey.

Your men lack discipline.
They got no respect for chain of command.

I disagree with that assessment, sir.
You guys think they're
heroes? They're cowboys.

They're gonna get people killed.
You better pray they're
not detected down there.

I've ordered Team 1 Helo
Platoon to organize an exfil-

No, sir. You will not.

General, my guys are my resYour
guys will dig in and stay put.

The president has ordered a
surgical strike at the missile site.

Your guys will do B.D.A. And
when that's done, our guys
will pull 'em out in a Pave Low.

And when is this happening, sir?
You'll know when you
need to know, Commander.

Echo 7 Yankee. Any up?

Report in. Over.

Echo 7 Yankee. Any up? Report in. Over.

Get that.

Echo 2 on site.

Also Echouh, what number are you?

That would be three.
Also Echo 2-3. Three. Over.

Copy that. Echo 2, Echo 3.

What's your position? Over.
Give me your G.P.S.

Uh-

221 by 39.851. Over.
Copy that. Stand by.

Okay. We're 20 miles apart.

Proceed to coordinates
2107 by 38.720. Over.

Roger that.
Get there as fast as you can, Echo 3.

L.Τ., where are the others?

We're it. Over.

Not entirely, Echo 7. Echo 12 in the air.

No shit?
No shit.

All right. Echo 3,
you got a 10-mile hump ahead of ya.

Get movin'.
Roger that.

Echo 12, glide to these coordinates.

Sir, why haven't we turned this plane
around? We have got to get back to base.

Son, we're flying commercial airspace
with a commercial I.F.F. signature.

Any deviation of our
flight plan, they'llShit.

You're right. I'm sorry, Colonel.

We got to get back to base, A.S.A.P.

I got four guys down
there that need my help.

I understand.

We'll drop off the North Korean
radar somewhere over Kazakhstan,

then vector back to Seoul.

I'll have you in South
Korea in under four hours.

Thank you, sir.

Did you jump on the red?

Oh, Jesus, man. You scared me.
Did you jump on the red?

Yes, I did. How about a little
help getting me down from here?

That was real dumb, Spaz. Yeah, I know.

It's not funny, Neil.

I don't suppose you brought a satcom?
No.

But I did bring my travel backgammon.

One P.V.C. 77
satellite-encrypted transceiver.

Good job, Spaz.

Thanks.
But you're still in a lot of trouble.

How are they?
There's four of them on the ground.

They're all okay.
They're scattered in two spots.

What's his call sign? Echo 7.

Echo 7, you all right? Any injuries?

Yeah, we're all tip-top, sir.

Okay, listen up.
Your mission has been recalled.

I want you to reconnoiter to a safe hide
site and dig in awaiting exfiltration.

Keep your terrestrial comms to a minimum.

There's not a lot of R.F. up there.
You guys' Il stick out real bad.

Sir, we had a rubber-duck contingency.
It's been aborted.

Any time estimate on exfil, sir?
Not at this time.

Understood.

Make contact again at 1800.

Alpha Whiskey out.

1800. Echo 7 out.

All right. Let's hump, Stokeman.

Hey. It's the Stoke.

Sir? Master Chief Barnes is here.

Sir. Master Chief.

Requesting permission to mount
a boat-drop rescue mission.

Barnes,

there's not gonna be a boat drop.

They're gonna exfiltrate
using an MH-53 Pave Low.

How's a chopper gonna
avoid detection, sir?

When we're bombing the shit out of them,
we won't be so worried about detection.

Sir, we've got four Navy SEALs
downrange behind enemy lines.

They are sitting ducksDid you
come in here to tell me that, Chief?

There's not gonna be a navy rescue.

Flyboys will handle this.

Return to your staging area.
Sir.

Shultiess, get the computer and
bring up a sat image of the area.

There's a little village about
a half klick down the hill that
wasn't even on this goddamn map.

Of course there is.

At nightfall, we're gonna move
to the top of these mountains,

then east, over into this area here.

It's more remote, but it's
closer to the missile site.

They're probably gonna ask us
to do B.D.A. on their runs.

So we might as well dig in
near the site. Hey, L.T. Look-

all due respect-

I didn't risk a court-martial
to do bomb damage assessment

for a bunch of faggot-ass
F-117 flyboys. Now, look.

Let's just go find that
missile site and blow its ass up.

You done?

Shh!

Bobby, he saw us. What should we do?

Shut up!

Callie, check the window!
L.T., what do you want me to do?

I got her.

Neil, cover that window.

Stop! You got to shut up!

Neil, shut her up!

Shultiess, grab her!
Meideros, grab her!

I got her!

Bobby, get out of there!

Shultiess! Meideros! On me!

Neil, let's go! Come on!

Meideros, get us restocked!
Shultiess, check our six.

Fucker shot me right in my Kevlar.

Seeing how we're compromised,

can we call in for an exfiltration?

Negative on that. We're on our own.

This way's no good. Cliffs.

All right. We're gonna have to
turn around, take the fight to them.

We're gonna leapfrog in pairs.
Meideros, you're with me. Gotcha.

No different than a live-fire
exercise, San Clemente.

Hey! Radio frequency charts are
in my right thigh pocket, okay?

And all the instructions
are right there too.

And I expect you to hand
them to me if I need them.

On your command, Daiwi.

Let's go to work.

Come on, kid.

Advance!
Callie! Come on!

R.P.G.!

Meideros! Get over here!

Echo 7 to base. Do you copy?

Base, this is Echo 7. Do you copy? Over.

Bobby! We're gonna die!

Bobby! Man down!

We got to get out of here! Come on!

Stay with me, Shultiess. Stay with me.

I can't see anything!

Echo 7 to base. We have brevity
code Charlie. I repeat-Charlie.

We're facing heavy enemy fire.
We have engaged. Do you copy? Over.

No one is dying on my stick.
I told you. Hold tight.

Our Father, who art in heaven-

Mr. Ambassador. Mr. President.

I was just about to call
your president on the phone.

Mr. President, wars are
started over misunderstandings.

I don't quiteWars.

And this war will be fought
on South Korea's soil.

Your U.S.S. Ronald Reagan has
made way to the Sea of Japan,

and your destroyer, the U.S.S.
Lassen is on course to the Yellow Sea.

You don't think North Korea
could misconstrue your actions

as a provocation towards engagement?

I wouldn't confuse the navy-
From your ships' movements,

I assume you have seen the missile.

Your Navy SEALs were captured

by the D.P.R.K. Fifth
Regiment in Kimhyongjik.

I should say, two captured.

Two of your men were killed.

How did you get these?

Your government spends billions
of dollars on your satellites,

all to avoid putting human
intelligence inside hostile territory.

These photos came from one
soldier with a $3,000 camera

connected to a satellite phone.

They were taken four hours ago.

We discovered the missile
at Yongjiri 10 days ago,

and we've been watching them
assemble it in the caves.

Our Special Operations Τask
Force 121 infiltrated the area.

We were wondering when you
were going to discover it.

Were you ever planning on
telling us about this grave threat?

Mr. Ambassador, when we
first discovered the missile,

we had hopes for a preemptive
Special Operations mission.

It required the utmost secrecy-
Your mission was compromised.

Yes.

It was an act of war against the D.P.R.K.

We felt that we could countTheir
retaliation will be against my country.

How could you have such-

We're trying to preserve a fragile peace.

By attacking a sovereign country.

Your administration has
always preached regime change,

and now you see the chance to effect it.

All that stands in the way are the
many hundreds of thousands of lives-

Korean livesthat will
be lost in the process.

It won't be hundreds of thousands.
That'll be all, General.

And should you succeed, what then?

We have no plans forTwenty-three
million hungry North Koreans.

Where do they go? New York? Philadelphia?

They come to Seoul.

They come to Seoul like
East Germany went to Berlin.

They come to Seoul and
destroy our economy.

We are not ready for this.
We did not ask for this.

And you-Now you give
us no choice but this?

What of China's reactions? Japan's?

The United Nations'?
The world's reactions?

Mr. Ambassador, we assure you there will
be no further military action conducted

until South Korea and the
United States see eye to eye.

That's right.

Then turn your ships around.

Sir, as of 0900 this morning,

Operation Sheet Lightning
remains on schedule,

with the Eighth Fighter
Wing and 18th Bomber Wing

both reporting troop
strengths at over 85%.

What's the deal with these estimates?
Sir?

10,000 U.S. casualties?
5,000 to 10,000. Yes, sir.

10,000 to 50,000 South Korean?
That's combined civilian-military.

Sir, it is what it is.
These are good numbers.

Bullshit. We're taking out 90% of
their artillery in the first 90 minutes.

We factored that in, sir. I can't
take these numbers to the president.

He'll shut us down.
Sir, we stand by these numbers.

Yeah, I heard you.

Bring me different ones.

Okay!

Bobby, don't you say-

What your mission? I don't understand.

What your mission?

I don't understand what you're saying.

What your mission?

No. No.

Come on, man.
You Delta Forces?

Huh?
Delta? Screw those-

Today, I'm supposed to teach you about
survival techniques for torture.

But there's nothing I
can say to you today

that's gonna change things when and
if you get captured by the enemy.

The Vietcong did their
thing on me for three days.

They did things

that were truly unimaginable, un-human.

If any of you

should ever get captured by the enemy,

know this-

That I will be there with you.

Because you men are my brothers,

and I will never leave you alone.

You, uh, Army Ranger?

Black Hawk Ground? Yeah.

I'm Black Hawk Ground.

Black Hawk Ground? Yeah.

I will never leave you.

Yeah, I'm Black Hawk Ground,
you fucking pussy.

Pussy? What do you mean pussy?

Pussy. You pussy.

What your mission?

American think we stupid? Ηuh?

You think we savagy?

I know how speak Englishy,
Chinesy and Frenchy.

I study stupid university in Pyongyang.

I travel to Shanghai, study Mandarin.

You're a great man.

I told him that you are
Lieutenant Robert James,

Navy SEALs Team 1.

He said, if you are navy,
then where is your boat?

Funny, huh?

We have a real problem, you and me.

You see, America sees two Koreas-

North and South.

I apologize, Lieutenant.
That must be very painful.

Hwang here is very excited.

Delivering American
soldiers to our Dear Leader

would bring him and his men great rewards-

enough pork and beef for perhaps
two months, maybe even more.

Maybe a letter of commendation
from our Dear Leader.

You see,

Hwang here-he wants me
to radio my commanders

to tell them about his great discovery.

You see, America sees two Koreas.

We see only one.

We call her The Land
of the Morning Calm.

Our Dear Leader tells us

soon we will reunify
under his great command.

So we wait and prepare for this day.

Yeah, well, that's never gonna happen.

No?
No.

Maybe you are right.

Maybe you and I are not so different.

Yeah, well, your leader-
he's fuckin' crazy.

In my country, we are killed

for saying such things about our leaders.

Yeah, well, in mine,
it's pretty much national sport.

I am afraid that if our Dear Leader

finds that there are Navy
SEALs in the D.P.R.K.,

that would give him enough
reason for the reunification.

That'd be really stupid.

I think so too.

I am afraid that our Dear Leader

thinks that we are more
powerful than we really are.

I think people are afraid to tell
him how hungry his soldiers are,

how old his equipment is.

So? So I think it is
better that you die here

without our Dear Leader ever knowing.

Don't you think so?

I told him to tell the villagers

to say nothing about ever seeing you.

Better, no?

You see, I am a good chingu.

Do you know what chingu means?

Friends.

Friends with common interests.

We go to my command.

There you will tell me
what I need to know.

Why haven't we heard
from the North Koreans?

They may still be
deciding what to ask for.

There's been no increased
military activity-

not at Yongjiri, D.M.Z., Yongbyon-nothin'.

More than likely, they're
looking for the Dear Leader.
He goes missing from time to time.

Mr. President. Have you spoken to them?

Yeah. So?

So, here's what the
South Koreans are saying.

If we execute the surgical
strike at the missile site,

they believe the D.P.R.K.
will retaliate with artillery.

And their damage estimates are far
greater than the Pentagon estimates-

as high as one million dead.

They're utterly misguided.
TheyHold on, General.

What do they suggest?

I'll let the general
take you through it, sir.

I'd just like to say up front that
we had this scenario ourselves,

but we didn't think you'd
abide our suggesting it.

The truth is, sir, in terms of
allied casualty projections, they're-

Well, they're extremely positive, sir.

Let's hear the plan, General. Admiral.

Well, sir, it starts with an absolute
naval blockade along the 37th parallel.

We're prepared to effect that any
time tomorrow after 1200 hours.

And then, Mr.
President, the plan calls for

a combined R.O.K.-U.S.
preemptive first strike-

a sudden massive and overwhelming
barrage along the entire D.P.R.K. line.

Artillery, air bases,
supply depots, army bases.

We can get half their forces while
they're asleep in their barracks.

We could keep their MIGs
from ever takin' off.

Probably could get another
20% of their ground force as
they're approaching their tubes.

Any tubes we missed in the first
cruise strikes and F-117 runs-

the South Koreans have Patriot
batteries all along the line.

A second wave of sorties
90 minutes later

would end the threat of
artillery altogether.

We would make the missile sites and
the nuclear research facilities

secondary and tertiary targets.

Ellie. This is what the
South Koreans proposed?

If it's this or a surgical strike,

which would leave the North Koreans

entirely capable of a
full-strength retaliation,

then, yes, they'd
prefer preemptive attack.

It's a provocative strategy,
sir, no question.

But, well, the allied casualty
projections are the real draw.

What are they? We could reasonably
project total allied casualties-

I'm talkin' combined U.S.
and South Korean total dead-

1,000 to 3,000.

It'd all be over in a
matter of hours, sir.

General, what are the
enemy casualty projections?

Sir?

I truly believe our
response is justified

by North Korea deploying
a nuclear I.C.B.M.

What are the projections, General?

Somewhere between
350,000 and 500,000 dead, sir.

Yeah.

Cam, Ellie-my office. Right now.

This-This thing is totally out of hand!

These num-Vance has been pushing
Armageddon since the beginning.

It'sOh. Excuse me.

I've gotta use the head.

You know what I love most
about the navy, Mr. President?

What is that?

The boats go real slow.

Mr. Ambassador, this proposal-
this surprise attack-it's-

Does this represent the
wishes of your government?

Mr. President,

3.5 million North Koreans have died
from starvation in the last three years.

What has your nation done
to grieve these deaths?

The casualtiesthe enemy casualties-

Mr. President, you give us
only evils to choose from.

Come. Come. Come.
I want to show you something.

You know movie Taxi Rider?

Robert Niro, Jo Jo Foster?

Taxi Rider.

I said get the fuck off me!

Taxi rider. Yeah.

Tell me about Taxi Rider. Jo-Jo Jo Foster.

Don't shoot! Please, don't shoot!

Are you Robert James?
Yes.

This is Captain Chung Won Joon of
the South Korean Task Force 121,

Bobby!

Our government has sent us to help you.

Would you like to come with us, sir?

That'd be real good.

Hey. See if you can get this thing goin'.

It's not happening. No fuel.

Captain. I need that jeep.

My men.

Shit!

I'm gonna go for the jeep.
That's a bad idea, Bobby.

What are we gonna do?
We can't just stick here.

Bobby! The wall!

Bobby, it's a dead end. Back up!
Back up! I can see that, Neil!

Chingu.

Echo 7?
Yes, sir!

Sir, I have two K.I.A.

And Callaghan-well, sir,
he's hurt pretty bad.

But, sir, there's something
you need to pass on right away.

Mr. President.

I've got Commander Mackey on the line.

Lieutenant Bobby James is
freed in North Korea

and safe with South Korean Special Forces.

Additionally, sir,
Lieutenant James is reporting

that at least some of his
captors were Chieu Hoi.

That's, umVietnamese for defectors.

I know what it means, Admiral.
I was there. Beg your pardon, sir.

Ellie, I want you to hear this.

Go ahead, Commander. Sir.

Lieutenant James is asking
permission to cross deck.

Uh, I was Army Ranger, not a sailor.

Cross deck, sir, means to
cross over and join the troops
that have come to replace you.

Sir, he's asking to remount
Operation Silent Night

with the help of the
South Korean Special Ops.

They think they can
sabotage the missile site?

That's absurd. Vance.

Admiral? That is what he's saying, sir.

Okay, we need to get
Ambassador Li in here.

Commander Mackey, how many men are there?

Six, including Lieutenant James.

I don't see a downside.

Excuse me.

Detection, loss of the
initiative, element of surprise.

If the D.P.R.K. Central Command
doesn't know about the SEALs,

there's a chance they don't know
we're coming for their missile.

Mr. President, we've been down
this road, sir. We canVance.

I'm done talkin' about this.

Commander Mackey, permission granted.

And tell your man that, should he succeed,

he'll have the thanks of
more than one grateful nation.

Yes, sir.
We'll give it everything we've got.

Echo 7 Yankee.

Mission status-Ηilary.
Roger. Hilary.

Report at 0400 prior to your assault.
Yes, sir.

Captain Chung,
I am Ambassador Li Sung Park.

I am calling from the office of
the president of the United States.

I have just received order to
assist you in any way possible.

I guess we are,

how do you sayin business.

In business.
Yes!

We gotta get rid of this taxi.

I must speak to my president now.

I wish our soldiers
success, Mr. President.

I fear their actions will
determine war or peace.

Mr. Ambassador, our nation thanks
you for your actions here today.

I don't care what the president
of South Korea's willing to do.

I'm not gonna authorize a preemptive
full-scale assault on North Korea.

We'll give the SEALs 24 hours.

If they fail, we'll proceed with a
surgical strike on the missile site.

I'm done talkin' about this.

If we go that way, who's gonna tell the
South Koreans? They'll see it on CNN.

Sir, if the South Koreans
are right, our strike could
provoke a lethal counterattack.

If they come at us with
everything, including W.M.D.'s,

we're talking 700,000 to a
million South Koreans dead.

They won't do that.

They know we need to take this site out.

Unless they want us to attack

so they can say we started this war.

Now we go to missile?
I need you to get me to the
hills above the village first.

A few toys for our trip. Let's move out.

I got satellite photos
of the missile site.

Oh. Look.

These are fan-fuckin'-tastic.

Fan-fucking-tastic?

I like this saying.

These workerswhy are
they wearing these uniforms?

Oh. Prisoners.
They are all political prisoners.

They work there until they die.

That way, no risk of
D.P.R.K. secrets ever leaving.

What about the ones that don't die?
Eventually they all die.

Fortunately for Kim Jong ll,

there is no shortage of new
political prisoners in North Korea.

All along the perimeter,
there's double bands of razor wire,

plus guards every 50 meters.

Except here.
No fences at the mouth of valley

because of these cliffs.

Okay. Well, can the truck take us there?
No.

Looks like we're gonna
have to climb then. Mm-hmm.

Chung, I gotta radio in brevity code so
they don't assume we've been compromised.

Sure.

Want to try this?

Come on. Let's go.

There's no way that I'm letting'
youYou're not comin' with me, Neil.

Sorry.

Echo 7 Yankee, do you copy?

Echo 7 Yankee, come in.

All right. They're still
fueling the missile. That's good.

There's light guard on the bunker.

Soldiers must still be in their barracks.

Jinhae, this is Kunsan 230.

Your signal is strong. Good check.

Continue beacon at constant interval.

Roger, Kunsan.
Maintaining current signal strength.

Jinhae, this is the U.S.S. Ronald Reagan.

Continuing signal sweep.
No signals reported. Over.

Ronald Reagan, Jinhae.
Appreciate the help, sir.

Henry, this plan of yours
is gonna get people hurt.

What's your status?

We're waiting for contact
from Lieutenant James.

He's overdue.

I'm shuttin' you down, bud.

Norman, for god's sake, give it a chance.

Just give it 10 more minutes.

Come in, Echo 7. Echo 7, do you copy?

You guys ready?

Echo 7 Yankee, come in.

Echo 7 Yankee, do you copy?
Come on. Come on.

Okay.

Prisoners.

Tell 'em they're free to go.
They gotta get the hell outta here now.

Admiral, General Vance tells me we may
have lost track of Operation Silent Night.

That's correct, sir. What does that mean?

I'm afraid we-

We have to assume that
they have been compromised.

He say, Thank you for my freedom.

Fight? You want to fight alongside us?

Okay.

American Navy Seal!

No!

Let's get the hell outta here now.
Come on. Let's get outta here.

American Navy Seal. You come.

You come!

I know, if you do not succeed here,

things will only get worse for my country.

Tell your president that we are not
all ignorant peasants here in Korea.

All right, let's get the
hell outta here. Now. Come on.

Come on.

They're on their own.
We can't do any more for them.

Mr. President,
if we're gonna make our window,

we have to put the B-2s at Okinawa

and the F-117s at Jinhae
in the air right now.

Very well.

Okinawa and Jinhae are go.

Jinhae, Okinawa, you are go.

Eighteenth Bomber Wing, you are go.

Cleared for takeoff.

Requesting priority clearance
Runway 275. Go, Okinawa. Go.

Tucson, Eighth Fighter Wing is a go.

Jinhae launching and away.
Roger, Okinawa. Launching and away.

Move!

Roger, Okinawa. On course.
Proceeding north 270.

Initializing target-acquisition software.

Jinhae 17 moving into attack formation.

Chung!

Okay!

There are too many of them at the bunker.

No matter what, hold them here. Right!

Sir, the first wave breaks North
Korean airspace in nine minutes.

Past this point, the squadron
needs a go forward order.

So ordered.
Oscar 20.

Go order is affirmed.
Roger that, CENTCOM.

Proceeding on course.
Crossing hostile territory in 0847.

Chung! Get your men!
Let's go! They're dead!

Watch out!

Sir, the first squad penetrates
hostile airspace in 45 seconds.

The tanker should have blown the bunker.

Shit! Hold on.

Mr. President.

Initializing weapon systems. Safety off.

Get new orders out to all pilots
in Operation Sheet Lightning.

Brevity code Allison. All elements
stand down. All pilots return to base.

Echo 20. Echo 20. Brevity code Allison.

Stand down. I repeat-stand down.

Roger that, CENTCOM. Aborting approach.

Man, that was close.

Sir, our boys have done it.

Neil! You good? Yeah.

Yeah, you were making
quite a racket up there.

I was just tryin' to get some sleep.

Better hold on. It's gonna get bumpy.

You wanted to see me, sir?
Come on in, Barnes.

If I can drop you here,
can you get a rubber-duck exfil team

two kilometers up the Τumen
River from the Sea of Japan?

With resupply tanks,

you bet your ass we could, sir.

So, how would you and your
boys like to go get your L.T.?

Spaz.

Meideros and Shultiess, theyWe know.

We couldn'tI-I wanted-

Bobby. We know.

I'm sorry to keep you waiting, General.

Please sit down.
Thank you, Mr. President.

This nation owes you a
debt of gratitude, Norman.

You've had a long and
a distinguished career.

Thank you, Mr. President.

Norman.

I'm relieving you of your command.

Will the defendant approach?

You wanted to see me, sir.

You've been invited to the
White House, Lieutenant.

The president wants to
give you a commendation.

Me, sir?

I should be at that
tribunal with Callaghan.

Yeah, well, you're going
to the White House instead.

It's a classified meeting. You understand?

No invited guests.

It's the Oval Office.

Just you and the president.

You can take one witness there.

One guy?

Master Chief Petty
Officer Neil T. Callaghan,

this tribunal has reached its verdict.

On your feet, Master Chief.

Lieutenant James. Yes, sir.

It's a pleasure to meet you.
Come in. Sit down.

Thank you, sir.

On the Article 15 charge
of striking an officer,

we find the defendant guilty as charged

and sentence him to one year in the
Naval Consolidated Brig at Miramar.

Sir? The lieutenant's witness is here.

Send him in.

On the Article 90 charge of
disobeying a lawful order,

we find the defendant guilty

and sentence him to 10
years at NAVCONBRIG Miramar.

Lieutenant Robert James,

for service to your country,

I am proud to present you with this Cross.

Does the prisoner have
anything he'd like to say?

No, sir.

Very well.

By executive order,

the transcripts of this tribunal
are classified top secret.

The record of these charges are to be
expunged from your permanent record,

and your sentence is
commuted to time served.

You're free to go, Master Chief.

I never seen anybody swallow more puke on
one of my planes than you, Bobby James.

You saw that?

Why didn't you ever red tag me?

Because I never saw anybody who
wanted to be a Navy Seal bad as you.

You know, Master Chief,

what you taught me,
what you trained me to do-

You saved my life over there, sir.

Come on, son.

High-Ranking U.S. officials,

attempting to explain the cause
of a large mushroom cloud

first seen over North Korea on Sunday,

are raising more questions than answers.

The mushroom cloud was
first detected Sunday

in satellite images by South Korean media,

indicating the cloud was
approximately four kilometers

at the border area between North
Korea and China in Yanggang Province.

Pyongyang initially denied
that any explosion had occurred,

but later reversed themselves,
linking the explosion

to a hydroelectric dam project.

In the U.S., several
high-ranking officials

were unusually quick to accept
Pyongyang's explanation

or offered differing
explanations of their own.

National Security Adviser
Condoleezza Rice told CNN yesterday,

there are all kinds of reports,
and there are all kinds of
assessments that are going on.

Maybe it was a forest fire of some kind.

When the stories broke over the weekend

about some explosion
taking place in North Korea,

my instincts told me it
was not a nuclear explosion.

As you know, the North
Koreans have announced today

that they were doing some demolition
work for a hydroelectric project,

and they're inviting
visiting foreign officials-

Especially from the United
Kingdomto visit the site.

However, upon their return,
the diplomats told reporters

that, according to the satellite images,

they had been taken to the wrong position-

about 100 kilometers from
the suspected explosion site.

Today, the story took
another curious turn

as the South Korean Vice Minister
of Unification, Rhee Bong-jo,

released a statement claiming
that there was no explosion,

stating the supposed mushroom cloud

was a natural cloud formation.

Perhaps the most troubling theory put
forth to explain the large cloud

is that a foreign state may
have incurred into North Korea

to conduct a clandestine
military operation.

This theory took on greater
potential for being accurate

when it was discovered today
that the explosion occurred

near the site of Yongjiri Missile Base,

a secret facility thought to have an
underground missile-firing system,

and which is also suspected to contain

part of the D.P.R.K.'s
uranium-enrichment program.
