00:00:14,801 --> 00:00:16,868
( music playing )
4
00:00:42,367 --> 00:00:44,467
( birds chirping )
5
00:01:19,100 --> 00:01:21,234
( helicopter blades
whirring )

00:01:41,467 --> 00:01:45,100
Man on radio:
Top story is the unprecedented
criticism of President Foster
7
00:01:45,167 --> 00:01:48,767
by the veteran chairman
of the joint chiefs of staff
General Lloyd
8
00:01:48,834 --> 00:01:50,734
at the National Press Club
yesterday.
9
00:01:50,801 --> 00:01:52,634
Lloyd:
Let's just say
that on this issue
10
00:01:52,701 --> 00:01:56,767
President Foster and I
have agreed to disagree.
11
00:01:56,834 --> 00:01:58,400
Man:
General Lloyd stated
12
00:01:58,467 --> 00:02:01,033
that the president's lack
of support of the military
13
00:02:01,100 --> 00:02:03,434
would leave the country
vulnerable and crippled
14
00:02:03,500 --> 00:02:06,033
at this time
of high global uncertainty.
15
00:02:06,100 --> 00:02:08,467
The president wants
to shrink the armed forces
16
00:02:08,534 --> 00:02:11,901
and put this peace dividend
into his domestic program.
17
00:02:11,968 --> 00:02:14,467
The general believes
there is no...
18
00:02:14,534 --> 00:02:16,434
So what's
the program today?
19
00:02:19,033 --> 00:02:21,000
Polish the doorknobs,
20
00:02:21,067 --> 00:02:22,968
cut the grass and...
21
00:02:23,033 --> 00:02:25,400
wash Mom's car.
22
00:02:25,467 --> 00:02:27,734
Then to your room.
No TV.
23
00:02:27,801 --> 00:02:29,701
Now go change
your clothes.
24
00:02:30,934 --> 00:02:32,601
Yes, sir.
25
00:02:32,667 --> 00:02:33,801
Morning.
26
00:02:33,868 --> 00:02:35,334
( turns off radio )
27
00:02:36,500 --> 00:02:40,367
Why is everything
always an order?
28
00:02:40,434 --> 00:02:42,834
He knows
what he did.
29
00:02:42,901 --> 00:02:44,901
Can't lick a problem
if it licks you first.
30
00:02:44,968 --> 00:02:46,701
Mac, he's 13.
31
00:02:46,767 --> 00:02:50,234
He was born
into this family.
He didn't enlist.
32
00:02:50,300 --> 00:02:51,434
Todd!
33
00:02:51,500 --> 00:02:52,934
( door opens )
34
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:54,968
You handle yourself
properly today,
35
00:02:55,033 --> 00:02:56,434
watch the game
together tomorrow.
36
00:02:56,500 --> 00:02:59,100
Orlando's going
to win it 4-zip.
37
00:02:59,167 --> 00:03:01,868
No way.
Knicks are
going to take it.
38
00:03:01,934 --> 00:03:03,667
Character!
39
00:03:03,734 --> 00:03:05,367
Okay?
40
00:03:05,434 --> 00:03:07,434
Okay.
See you later.
41
00:03:07,500 --> 00:03:08,767
All right.
Love you.
42
00:03:12,300 --> 00:03:13,801
( car engine starts )
43
00:03:27,801 --> 00:03:30,200
Man on radio:
Well, Mr. Secretary,
with all due respect,
44
00:03:30,267 --> 00:03:32,901
we're not the only ones
questioning the president's
indecision.
45
00:03:32,968 --> 00:03:34,968
The chairman of
the joint chiefs of staff
46
00:03:35,033 --> 00:03:37,367
publicly criticized
the president for not
signing the bill.
47
00:03:37,434 --> 00:03:40,868
Man #2:
As far as General Lloyd's
remarks go, you in the media
48
00:03:40,934 --> 00:03:43,968
have taken his agreement
to disagree
49
00:03:44,033 --> 00:03:46,133
with the president
out of context...
50
00:04:04,067 --> 00:04:06,434
( beeping )
51
00:04:31,901 --> 00:04:33,834
( quiet chatter )
52
00:04:36,467 --> 00:04:38,601
Morning, Billy.
53
00:04:38,667 --> 00:04:40,567
Morning, Colonel.
54
00:04:40,634 --> 00:04:43,067
Situation normal?
55
00:04:43,133 --> 00:04:46,200
Uh, we lost another one
in Bolivia last night.
56
00:04:46,267 --> 00:04:47,901
Coke patrol.
57
00:04:47,968 --> 00:04:50,067
Any friendly casualties?
58
00:04:50,133 --> 00:04:52,367
Goodness, no.
That wouldn't be nice.
59
00:04:54,133 --> 00:04:56,901
Bolivia's fine.
The Knicks got their back
against the wall.
60
00:04:56,968 --> 00:04:58,300
They need me.
61
00:04:58,367 --> 00:04:59,634
Hey, who's
the old man like?
62
00:04:59,701 --> 00:05:01,734
Not into it.
63
00:05:01,801 --> 00:05:04,901
Negative.
He's into it big-time.
64
00:05:16,667 --> 00:05:20,133
"Call on Slam Dunk.
All bets in by 8:00 PM
Saturday."
65
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,334
He's got a betting
pool on the finals.
66
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,968
Thinks it'll go till then.
Been sending stuff out
all week
67
00:05:25,033 --> 00:05:27,200
under his own personal
code-- Blue 6 code.
68
00:05:27,267 --> 00:05:30,234
Get caught plugging into
the old man's code, you know
what's going to happen to you.
69
00:05:30,300 --> 00:05:31,801
You should see
who's got a share
in his action.
70
00:05:31,868 --> 00:05:34,267
Cross down at Tampa.
Jacobs at NORAD.
71
00:05:34,334 --> 00:05:36,100
Allen down
at Fort Benning.
72
00:05:36,167 --> 00:05:38,601
Mucho brass.
Looks like everybody's
already in it.
73
00:05:38,667 --> 00:05:40,467
Has he said anything
about it to you?
74
00:05:40,534 --> 00:05:42,334
What, to me? Nah.
75
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,634
You can ask him
about it, though.
He wants to see you.
76
00:05:44,701 --> 00:05:46,100
What, he's here?
77
00:05:46,167 --> 00:05:47,300
On a Sunday?
78
00:05:47,367 --> 00:05:49,367
Yeah.
Bookie's best day.
79
00:05:57,601 --> 00:05:59,868
You wanted
to see me, sir?
80
00:05:59,934 --> 00:06:02,000
Sit down, Mac.
81
00:06:02,067 --> 00:06:06,300
Ah, it's days like this
that I wish I never accepted
this lousy job.
82
00:06:06,367 --> 00:06:08,968
The only problem is...
83
00:06:09,033 --> 00:06:11,000
I can't bear the thought
of anyone else having it.
84
00:06:11,067 --> 00:06:13,467
The intel is
the president loses
his job first.
85
00:06:13,534 --> 00:06:17,100
Is that the intel?
Well, we'll know
next Tuesday,
86
00:06:17,167 --> 00:06:19,400
my day on the carpet.
87
00:06:19,467 --> 00:06:23,133
Uh, should have kept
my big mouth shut!
88
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:24,834
You spoke up.
Straight. Honest.
89
00:06:24,901 --> 00:06:26,567
It's time
somebody did.
90
00:06:26,634 --> 00:06:29,500
Publicly? Hmm?
Commander-in-Chief?
91
00:06:29,567 --> 00:06:31,601
I don't think
it's perceived
as an attack, sir.
92
00:06:31,667 --> 00:06:33,267
The president
may be a good man,
93
00:06:33,334 --> 00:06:37,033
but he doesn't
know shit about
national defense.
94
00:06:37,100 --> 00:06:39,667
At least when his
wife was alive, he had
a reality barometer.
95
00:06:39,734 --> 00:06:41,968
The way things
were going Election Day,
96
00:06:42,033 --> 00:06:45,167
nobody bothered to ask
him about it. Here.
97
00:06:45,234 --> 00:06:49,367
You know, I used to know
who my enemies were.
98
00:06:49,434 --> 00:06:52,567
Who'd have guessed
five years ago that Iran
and Iraq would be allies?
99
00:06:52,634 --> 00:06:55,667
The next fight
in the Middle East...
100
00:06:55,734 --> 00:06:58,901
it's going to make
the Gulf War look like
a family picnic.
101
00:06:58,968 --> 00:07:02,167
And when it comes,
we won't be ready.
102
00:07:02,234 --> 00:07:05,300
Look at us. We're cops.
We're builders.
103
00:07:05,367 --> 00:07:08,434
We're health-care
providers.
104
00:07:08,500 --> 00:07:10,801
Worst of all...
105
00:07:10,868 --> 00:07:12,467
we're politicians.
106
00:07:12,534 --> 00:07:14,801
- It sucks.
- Ah.
107
00:07:14,868 --> 00:07:16,901
Hell, let's not
mince words.
108
00:07:16,968 --> 00:07:20,701
It's what my son always says
about everything.
109
00:07:22,434 --> 00:07:24,367
Mac, uh...
110
00:07:24,434 --> 00:07:27,367
last couple
of weeks, uh...
111
00:07:27,434 --> 00:07:30,133
you've been kind of tense.
112
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,634
You're not
uptight about the alert
this weekend, are you?
113
00:07:32,701 --> 00:07:35,334
No.
It's Todd.
114
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:37,667
He's 13.
115
00:07:37,734 --> 00:07:41,234
He's working at
an appliance store,
Kraemer's.
116
00:07:41,300 --> 00:07:43,968
He stole eight
video recorders.
117
00:07:44,033 --> 00:07:46,934
Took him months.
118
00:07:48,934 --> 00:07:51,968
He doesn't
know why he did it,
and neither do I.
119
00:07:52,033 --> 00:07:54,834
But somehow, it all...
120
00:07:54,901 --> 00:07:58,634
comes down to me
being a bad father, sir.
121
00:07:58,701 --> 00:08:00,667
He's a good kid.
122
00:08:01,868 --> 00:08:03,100
Mac...
123
00:08:03,167 --> 00:08:05,367
good kids
often lose their way.
124
00:08:05,434 --> 00:08:07,000
Don't be so hard
on yourself.
125
00:08:07,067 --> 00:08:10,734
I've been
trained that way.
I'm a Marine, sir.
126
00:08:10,801 --> 00:08:13,400
"It sucks."
I like that.
127
00:08:13,467 --> 00:08:15,234
You going
to watch the playoffs
this weekend, sir?
128
00:08:15,300 --> 00:08:16,801
Playoffs.
Would you believe it?
129
00:08:16,868 --> 00:08:18,934
I don't even know
who the hell's playing
this year.
130
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,467
( overlapping chattering )
131
00:08:33,934 --> 00:08:35,167
( reporters clamoring )
132
00:08:35,234 --> 00:08:36,834
Dave.
133
00:08:36,901 --> 00:08:41,167
Mr. President, can you
tell us what you thought
of the latest CNN poll?
134
00:08:41,234 --> 00:08:43,801
My chief of staff,
Miss Corcoran,
likes to say
135
00:08:43,868 --> 00:08:46,601
that a poll
is what you hang
a politician from.
136
00:08:46,667 --> 00:08:48,500
I don't pay any
attention to them.
137
00:08:48,567 --> 00:08:50,334
It's a different
number every day.
138
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:52,901
- ( clamoring )
- One last question.
Helen.
139
00:08:52,968 --> 00:08:55,567
General Lloyd has
publicly accused you
140
00:08:55,634 --> 00:08:57,567
of turning your back
on the military.
141
00:08:57,634 --> 00:08:59,300
Would you care
to comment?
142
00:08:59,367 --> 00:09:01,868
General Lloyd's remarks
were taken out of context
143
00:09:01,934 --> 00:09:03,834
and blown way out
of proportion.
144
00:09:03,901 --> 00:09:06,167
But make no mistake
about it...
145
00:09:06,234 --> 00:09:08,400
the general
was freelancing.
146
00:09:08,467 --> 00:09:11,400
But I am smart enough
to know
147
00:09:11,467 --> 00:09:14,334
when I'm being shot at
by a professional,
148
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,534
and I'm still in one piece.
149
00:09:16,601 --> 00:09:18,868
- ( reporters laughing )
- Thank you for asking.
150
00:09:22,634 --> 00:09:25,767
Well, Betsy,
from one herd of
jackals to the next.
151
00:09:25,834 --> 00:09:27,667
The cabinet,
Mr. President.
152
00:09:27,734 --> 00:09:30,868
With a 29% approval rating,
you can't tell them what to do.
153
00:09:30,934 --> 00:09:33,334
If you don't
build a consensus,
you're going to pay a price.
154
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:37,167
And here I thought
the cabinet was supposed
to be the president's team.
155
00:09:37,234 --> 00:09:38,767
- ( chatter )
- You bet, you bet.
156
00:09:38,834 --> 00:09:40,667
- Ladies and gentlemen.
- Man: All right.
157
00:09:40,734 --> 00:09:43,200
- Cheryl. Steven.
- Mr. President.
158
00:09:43,267 --> 00:09:45,300
Harry.
159
00:09:45,367 --> 00:09:49,100
We have a lot of ground
to cover in a short time,
as usual,
160
00:09:49,167 --> 00:09:52,133
so I suggest we get
started right away.
161
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,334
Let's begin
with something easy--
162
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,634
- taxes.
- ( men laugh )
163
00:09:57,701 --> 00:09:59,467
Foster:
Well, as you all know,
164
00:09:59,534 --> 00:10:01,801
I have on my desk
right now
165
00:10:01,868 --> 00:10:06,200
a bill that gives
a huge budget increase
to the military.
166
00:10:06,267 --> 00:10:08,400
Suppose I just
don't sign it?
167
00:10:08,467 --> 00:10:11,200
Suppose some of that
goes over to domestic,
168
00:10:11,267 --> 00:10:13,234
to farm subsidies,
169
00:10:13,300 --> 00:10:15,968
and the rest of it
to policing our streets?
170
00:10:16,033 --> 00:10:18,000
Do you really think
that's wise, sir?
171
00:10:18,067 --> 00:10:20,067
I don't know, Art.
What do you think?
172
00:10:20,133 --> 00:10:23,167
If you do that, Mr. President,
I'm told that our readiness
173
00:10:23,234 --> 00:10:25,801
and force structure
will suffer severely.
174
00:10:25,868 --> 00:10:28,868
That sounds just like
General Lloyd's position.
175
00:10:28,934 --> 00:10:31,234
If you veto that bill,
Mr. President,
176
00:10:31,300 --> 00:10:33,934
you're going to get
a huge public reaction.
177
00:10:34,033 --> 00:10:36,701
Then I'll take
the heat, Tom.
178
00:10:36,767 --> 00:10:40,701
Look, I know most of you
don't like this idea.
179
00:10:40,767 --> 00:10:44,033
And I'm not going to ask
for a show of hands,
180
00:10:44,100 --> 00:10:47,300
but I will need
the support of each and every
person in this room.
181
00:10:47,367 --> 00:10:49,901
We're going to need
to pull together on this.
182
00:10:51,934 --> 00:10:54,400
Now let's be clear...
183
00:10:54,467 --> 00:10:56,734
about what we will not do.
184
00:10:58,801 --> 00:11:01,200
We will not any longer
185
00:11:01,267 --> 00:11:04,834
defer our urgent
domestic needs
186
00:11:04,901 --> 00:11:06,801
in order to satisfy
187
00:11:06,868 --> 00:11:10,133
the inflated demands
of the military.
188
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:14,534
We will not add
$40-60 billion to the budget
189
00:11:14,601 --> 00:11:18,634
without having any idea
where the money's coming from.
190
00:11:18,701 --> 00:11:23,467
I ran on a pledge
to cut the deficit.
191
00:11:23,534 --> 00:11:25,968
That's why we're
all here today.
192
00:11:26,033 --> 00:11:29,601
I'm going to do it
or I'll die trying.
193
00:11:31,801 --> 00:11:33,801
Oh, let's not talk
about death.
194
00:11:33,868 --> 00:11:35,834
Taxes is depressing
enough.
195
00:11:35,901 --> 00:11:38,367
Why, Walter,
I always thought
that death
196
00:11:38,434 --> 00:11:40,534
was a vice presidential
obsession.
197
00:11:40,601 --> 00:11:42,834
( laughter )
198
00:11:49,100 --> 00:11:51,901
Where is it written
that if your president's
from the heartland,
199
00:11:51,968 --> 00:11:55,467
your vice president
has to be a backroom
boy from the East?
200
00:11:55,534 --> 00:11:57,434
It was a winning
combination.
201
00:11:57,500 --> 00:11:59,000
But a terrible
marriage.
202
00:11:59,067 --> 00:12:00,767
I should have gone
with Charlie Potter.
203
00:12:00,834 --> 00:12:03,667
He gets things done.
204
00:12:03,734 --> 00:12:05,601
Are we pushing
too hard?
205
00:12:05,667 --> 00:12:07,467
We don't
have a choice.
206
00:12:07,534 --> 00:12:09,434
If things don't
change remarkably,
207
00:12:09,500 --> 00:12:11,167
there won't be
a second term.
208
00:12:13,968 --> 00:12:16,100
We've come
a long way, Betsy.
209
00:12:17,467 --> 00:12:20,400
I couldn't have
done it without you.
210
00:12:20,467 --> 00:12:22,234
Thank you, sir.
211
00:12:29,367 --> 00:12:30,901
( touch tones beeping )
212
00:12:30,968 --> 00:12:32,734
Man:
Central Command.
213
00:12:32,801 --> 00:12:34,400
Yeah.
214
00:12:34,467 --> 00:12:36,500
It's Colonel Casey
from the joint staff.
215
00:12:36,567 --> 00:12:38,834
I need the deputy
commander, please.
Thank you.
216
00:12:38,901 --> 00:12:40,334
O'Malley.
217
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:42,400
Colonel O'Malley.
Yeah.
218
00:12:42,467 --> 00:12:44,300
We noticed a little
item up here
219
00:12:44,367 --> 00:12:47,367
preparing a readiness report
for the alert this weekend.
220
00:12:47,434 --> 00:12:49,334
It's just
a routine exercise,
221
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:52,434
but it says here
you guys ordered
live ammo.
222
00:12:52,500 --> 00:12:54,400
Not exactly standard.
223
00:12:54,467 --> 00:12:55,934
Well, that's classified.
224
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:57,434
Excuse me?
225
00:12:57,500 --> 00:12:59,667
I'm sorry, Colonel.
No one but General Allen
226
00:12:59,734 --> 00:13:01,934
is authorized to discuss
that operation.
227
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:03,734
Maybe you can
call back tomorrow.
228
00:13:03,801 --> 00:13:05,868
Sure.
Tomorrow's fine.
229
00:13:05,934 --> 00:13:08,400
( touch tones beeping )
230
00:13:08,467 --> 00:13:10,133
( rings )
231
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:11,400
- Hello.
- Walter.
232
00:13:11,467 --> 00:13:13,234
- Yeah.
- Mac Casey.
233
00:13:13,300 --> 00:13:16,500
- Hey, Mac.
The rising star.
- Yeah. I got the duty.
234
00:13:16,567 --> 00:13:19,200
- How's the puzzle palace?
- Look, Walt...
235
00:13:19,267 --> 00:13:22,167
I'm checking out
this live ammo request.
236
00:13:22,234 --> 00:13:24,801
Jesus, Mac.
I wish you guys
would get it together.
237
00:13:24,868 --> 00:13:27,634
You added the live ammo
for your Slam Dunk thing.
238
00:13:27,701 --> 00:13:29,567
- Don't you remember?
- It's for Slam Dunk?
239
00:13:29,634 --> 00:13:32,267
Yeah.
It's the damnedest thing.
240
00:13:32,334 --> 00:13:34,634
We're training more for
seizure than defense here.
241
00:13:34,701 --> 00:13:36,701
- ( knocks )
- Lloyd: Come.
242
00:13:40,434 --> 00:13:41,467
Mac.
243
00:13:41,534 --> 00:13:43,868
This will only
take a moment.
244
00:13:43,934 --> 00:13:47,767
Yesterday,
I ran across a little
glitch in the printouts.
245
00:13:47,834 --> 00:13:50,567
There was live ammo
ordered for some operation
246
00:13:50,634 --> 00:13:53,367
called Slam Dunk?
247
00:13:53,434 --> 00:13:55,834
I'm sorry you got
left out, Mac.
248
00:13:55,901 --> 00:14:00,067
It was the president's idea
to keep this one down
to the short list.
249
00:14:00,133 --> 00:14:02,834
Slam Dunk
is a covert exercise
250
00:14:02,901 --> 00:14:05,200
we're running
with the CIA.
251
00:14:05,267 --> 00:14:07,367
It's extremely
sensitive, Mac.
252
00:14:07,434 --> 00:14:09,701
Extremely sensitive.
253
00:14:09,767 --> 00:14:12,100
A team is practicing
254
00:14:12,167 --> 00:14:14,334
to go into
a Third World country
255
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:16,200
to seize
a nuclear weapon.
256
00:14:16,267 --> 00:14:18,734
I could
show you the file
if you're curious.
257
00:14:18,801 --> 00:14:21,334
I wouldn't mind
taking a look. Thanks.
258
00:14:23,901 --> 00:14:25,367
Can I have it now, sir?
259
00:14:25,434 --> 00:14:27,067
I'll shoot it
to your e-mail.
260
00:14:27,133 --> 00:14:29,300
You'll have it
tomorrow morning.
261
00:14:36,968 --> 00:14:38,767
Thank you, sir.
262
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,000
( chatter )
263
00:14:43,467 --> 00:14:44,934
Stand by.
264
00:14:58,434 --> 00:15:00,367
Mac:
15 points down.
265
00:15:00,434 --> 00:15:02,634
Take a shot
or give it up.
266
00:15:15,434 --> 00:15:17,467
So what was your
program today?
267
00:15:20,901 --> 00:15:22,500
I saw the therapist.
268
00:15:24,467 --> 00:15:25,601
Yeah?
269
00:15:28,901 --> 00:15:30,901
You like her?
270
00:15:33,033 --> 00:15:34,734
Well, she's okay.
271
00:15:35,934 --> 00:15:37,834
Don't lock
your knees.
272
00:15:47,267 --> 00:15:49,334
She ask you
lots of questions?
273
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:51,901
Well, sh-she asked if
274
00:15:51,968 --> 00:15:54,934
I felt a rush...
275
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:56,734
when I was stealing.
276
00:15:56,801 --> 00:16:00,133
And I told her
I felt awful.
277
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:03,100
And she says, "Why?"
278
00:16:04,634 --> 00:16:07,534
And I say...
279
00:16:07,601 --> 00:16:10,968
"'Cause I knew
I'd get caught."
280
00:16:11,033 --> 00:16:12,901
Take your hands
out your pocket.
281
00:16:12,968 --> 00:16:14,734
Take a shot.
282
00:16:17,767 --> 00:16:19,467
Then she says...
283
00:16:19,534 --> 00:16:21,667
"Why did you do it?"
284
00:16:21,734 --> 00:16:23,868
And you say...
285
00:16:23,934 --> 00:16:25,334
what?
286
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:27,767
'Cause--
287
00:16:27,834 --> 00:16:31,133
'cause I--
'cause I couldn't stop.
288
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:35,100
And she asked
how we get along.
289
00:16:41,100 --> 00:16:43,067
How do we get along?
290
00:16:44,968 --> 00:16:47,167
You're close
to fouling out.
291
00:16:53,467 --> 00:16:56,067
Trying to stay
in the game, Todd.
292
00:16:56,133 --> 00:16:58,200
Trying to stay
in the game.
293
00:17:00,934 --> 00:17:02,868
Take your shot
or give it up.
294
00:17:18,167 --> 00:17:21,267
I don't think the son
of a bitch can shut up
even if he wants to.
295
00:17:21,334 --> 00:17:24,133
He's a born
politician...
296
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,033
and not a bad one
at that.
297
00:17:26,100 --> 00:17:28,767
Name one successful
general who isn't.
298
00:17:28,834 --> 00:17:33,000
Well, I have rapidly
lost my appetite for
the daily battle.
299
00:17:33,067 --> 00:17:35,400
Tell me what would happen
to my poll numbers
300
00:17:35,467 --> 00:17:37,734
if I were to fire
a living legend?
301
00:17:37,801 --> 00:17:40,767
You'd become nostalgic
for the days when you had 29%.
302
00:17:40,834 --> 00:17:43,334
But look at the upside--
303
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:46,334
Lloyd will be
retiring soon
with full honors
304
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:48,367
and you'll have
one less problem,
305
00:17:48,434 --> 00:17:50,534
though,
of course, replacing
him may be a problem
306
00:17:50,601 --> 00:17:52,734
since you've almost
run out of women.
307
00:17:52,801 --> 00:17:54,667
Very good,
Mr. Secretary.
308
00:17:54,734 --> 00:17:57,434
Where would I be
without you, Charlie?
309
00:17:57,500 --> 00:18:01,133
I've been advised, General,
to fire you.
310
00:18:03,234 --> 00:18:06,133
I frankly know
of no reason why, sir.
311
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:11,801
But you know I serve
at your disposal,
Mr. President.
312
00:18:11,868 --> 00:18:13,400
Yes, but you've gone
and got yourself
313
00:18:13,467 --> 00:18:16,300
a pretty good
constituency.
314
00:18:16,367 --> 00:18:18,834
I'm asking a lot
of the American
people already.
315
00:18:18,901 --> 00:18:21,267
I can't liquidate
their Captain Marvel.
316
00:18:21,334 --> 00:18:22,500
( chuckles )
317
00:18:24,234 --> 00:18:26,767
The people want to know
they're defended.
318
00:18:26,834 --> 00:18:30,100
They are, at a cost
of 230 billion a year.
319
00:18:30,167 --> 00:18:32,434
May I remind you,
Mr. President,
320
00:18:32,500 --> 00:18:34,434
that the sole purpose
of our military
321
00:18:34,500 --> 00:18:36,167
is to wage and win wars
322
00:18:36,234 --> 00:18:38,801
and protect our shores
from foreign aggressors?
323
00:18:38,868 --> 00:18:41,234
You are a compassionate
man, sir,
324
00:18:41,300 --> 00:18:43,100
but you are
withholding funds
325
00:18:43,167 --> 00:18:46,334
which will leave
our military degraded.
326
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:49,100
You are recklessly
placing this nation
327
00:18:49,167 --> 00:18:50,901
in a position
of weakness.
328
00:18:50,968 --> 00:18:52,968
And may I remind
you, General,
329
00:18:53,033 --> 00:18:56,767
that I,
with the help of Congress,
will make policy.
330
00:18:56,834 --> 00:18:58,701
You will follow it.
331
00:18:58,767 --> 00:19:01,701
If you want my job,
go out and win your
party's nomination
332
00:19:01,767 --> 00:19:02,901
and get
yourself elected!
333
00:19:02,968 --> 00:19:05,234
I have no interest
in becoming president.
334
00:19:05,300 --> 00:19:09,400
My sole concern
is there be a country
left to defend.
335
00:19:09,467 --> 00:19:12,067
Another war is coming, sir,
and when it does,
336
00:19:12,133 --> 00:19:15,000
we're going to have to call
on Israel to defend us
337
00:19:15,067 --> 00:19:18,400
because our own forces
will have become impotent
338
00:19:18,467 --> 00:19:20,801
in the interests
of social experiments
339
00:19:20,868 --> 00:19:23,901
and global
public relations.
340
00:19:23,968 --> 00:19:26,467
Keep your opinions
to yourself, General,
341
00:19:26,534 --> 00:19:28,834
or confine them
to this office.
342
00:19:30,901 --> 00:19:32,100
Thank you.
343
00:19:35,534 --> 00:19:37,734
( clock chiming )
344
00:19:47,634 --> 00:19:49,934
( phone ringing )
345
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:51,601
Man on P.A.:
The meeting of the category 2
346
00:19:51,667 --> 00:19:53,367
weapons systems
evaluation group
347
00:19:53,434 --> 00:19:55,267
has been rescheduled
for tomorrow.
348
00:19:55,334 --> 00:19:58,033
( Billy laughs )
After midnight, right?
Say, quarter to 1:00.
349
00:19:58,100 --> 00:20:01,334
I leave her
there parked, right,
in that driveway?
350
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:04,400
It's the White House.
It's late at night.
She's alone.
351
00:20:04,467 --> 00:20:06,601
I come back
and I show her
this envelope.
352
00:20:06,667 --> 00:20:09,934
And I say, "Shit,
we got to rush this out
to the CIA at Langley."
353
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:11,367
And this gets you laid?
354
00:20:11,434 --> 00:20:14,067
I am six
for six on this.
It's great, trust me.
355
00:20:14,133 --> 00:20:15,901
Uh, yes, sir.
356
00:20:15,968 --> 00:20:18,834
- Situation normal?
- Uh, yes, sir.
357
00:20:18,901 --> 00:20:22,067
How's the traffic
on the old man's
betting pool?
358
00:20:22,133 --> 00:20:24,434
Uh, something came in
this morning.
359
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:29,067
Correct me
if I'm wrong,
360
00:20:29,133 --> 00:20:32,767
but Reagent
Alpha One--
361
00:20:32,834 --> 00:20:35,167
that's an advanced
chemical disabling
weapon, right?
362
00:20:35,234 --> 00:20:37,267
Mac: Yeah.
What's the point?
363
00:20:37,334 --> 00:20:39,834
Billy:
It's been okayed
for the alert.
364
00:20:39,901 --> 00:20:42,367
Don't ask me why,
but national command
authorized it.
365
00:20:44,067 --> 00:20:46,200
Punch up where
General Lloyd is. Now.
366
00:20:46,267 --> 00:20:49,300
- ( boat horns blaring )
- ( seagulls screeching )
367
00:21:26,434 --> 00:21:27,968
( dog barking )
368
00:21:28,033 --> 00:21:30,033
( door opens )
369
00:21:32,300 --> 00:21:35,267
( footsteps )
370
00:21:35,334 --> 00:21:38,367
Jean: It was good to see
you two playing ball
together today.
371
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:41,667
He's getting better.
372
00:21:44,567 --> 00:21:47,000
He's starting to realize
what he did wrong.
373
00:21:49,500 --> 00:21:51,567
You know, I'm sorry.
374
00:21:51,634 --> 00:21:54,434
You know, the way
I've been lately.
375
00:21:54,500 --> 00:21:57,567
It's just I've just got
so much on my mind.
376
00:21:59,968 --> 00:22:03,934
Is this, um,
about seeing Todd's
therapist tomorrow?
377
00:22:05,634 --> 00:22:07,467
Do we need this?
378
00:22:07,534 --> 00:22:09,434
I don't know
this woman.
379
00:22:09,500 --> 00:22:10,901
She doesn't know us.
380
00:22:10,968 --> 00:22:13,834
She knows Todd.
He likes her.
381
00:22:13,901 --> 00:22:16,500
I said I'd be there,
382
00:22:16,567 --> 00:22:17,801
so I'll be there.
383
00:22:20,968 --> 00:22:22,534
Mac.
384
00:22:25,834 --> 00:22:26,934
Thanks.
385
00:22:33,434 --> 00:22:35,367
( phone ringing )
386
00:22:35,434 --> 00:22:37,000
( traffic blaring )
387
00:22:37,067 --> 00:22:39,434
( ringing continues )
388
00:22:39,500 --> 00:22:41,167
Woman:
Good morning.
Chief of Staff's office.
389
00:22:41,234 --> 00:22:43,334
May I help you?
390
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:45,033
Chief of Staff,
please.
391
00:22:45,100 --> 00:22:46,734
Who's calling, please?
392
00:22:48,934 --> 00:22:51,934
This is the director
of current operations
at the Pentagon,
393
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:53,434
Colonel Mac Casey.
394
00:22:53,500 --> 00:22:55,067
Could you tell her
it's urgent?
395
00:22:55,133 --> 00:22:57,467
And private, please.
Thank you.
396
00:22:57,534 --> 00:22:59,868
( siren wailing )
397
00:23:05,167 --> 00:23:06,801
Betsy:
What's so urgent?
398
00:23:06,868 --> 00:23:10,400
Betsy? Betsy, Betsy,
I need to talk to you.
399
00:23:10,467 --> 00:23:13,434
That's it?
No hello, how are you?
Where are you anyway?
400
00:23:13,500 --> 00:23:16,267
I'm sorry, this is
really important.
401
00:23:16,334 --> 00:23:18,667
It's a matter
of national security.
402
00:23:18,734 --> 00:23:21,100
Aren't you pretty far out
of channels, Mac?
403
00:23:21,167 --> 00:23:23,467
- You have a boss.
Talk to him.
- I can't.
404
00:23:23,534 --> 00:23:27,267
Jesus, Mac,
I'm catching javelins here.
What the hell is going on?
405
00:23:27,334 --> 00:23:29,234
Can't you give me
some idea?
406
00:23:29,300 --> 00:23:31,067
Yeah. I need to talk
to you in person.
407
00:23:31,133 --> 00:23:33,167
You and everyone else.
408
00:23:33,234 --> 00:23:35,767
Betsy, you've known me
for a long time.
409
00:23:35,834 --> 00:23:38,567
I've been a Marine
for 19 years.
410
00:23:38,634 --> 00:23:40,601
By me calling you,
I may be throwing
it all away.
411
00:23:40,667 --> 00:23:42,300
Hang on
for a second, Mac.
412
00:23:42,367 --> 00:23:44,634
- ( softly )
Move my 7:30...
- ( horn blaring )
413
00:23:46,234 --> 00:23:49,167
- Betsy?
- Grant Memorial, 8:00.
414
00:23:49,234 --> 00:23:51,734
Oh, okay.
415
00:23:51,801 --> 00:23:53,133
Uh...
416
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:54,934
can you make it 8:30?
417
00:23:55,033 --> 00:23:57,467
This is not
a negotiation, Colonel.
418
00:24:00,167 --> 00:24:02,500
Okay.
419
00:24:02,567 --> 00:24:05,467
Grant Memorial, 8:00.
See you then. Bye.
420
00:24:09,934 --> 00:24:12,534
Woman:
Office of the Attorney General.
Please hold.
421
00:24:12,601 --> 00:24:14,500
Secretary Potter
to see you.
422
00:24:14,567 --> 00:24:16,534
- Good morning, Sarah.
- Good morning.
423
00:24:16,601 --> 00:24:18,734
- How are you?
- I'm fine, thank you,
Mr. Secretary.
424
00:24:18,801 --> 00:24:20,801
- Good, good.
- Morning, Charlie.
Come in. Sit down.
425
00:24:20,868 --> 00:24:22,601
- Thank you.
- Thank you, Sarah.
426
00:24:32,434 --> 00:24:35,834
The general
tells me that you have
misgivings, Arthur.
427
00:24:37,467 --> 00:24:40,901
I have always had
misgivings, Charlie.
428
00:24:40,968 --> 00:24:42,901
The Constitution is--
429
00:24:42,968 --> 00:24:45,200
is in my care.
430
00:24:46,801 --> 00:24:49,434
Others before us
have tried to manipulate
the Constitution,
431
00:24:49,500 --> 00:24:53,701
but, Jesus, this thing
makes them look like
a Sunday picnic!
432
00:24:53,767 --> 00:24:56,100
I, uh--
433
00:24:56,167 --> 00:25:01,167
I can't be a part of subverting
the Constitution, Charlie.
434
00:25:01,234 --> 00:25:03,367
Not as a means
to an end,
435
00:25:03,434 --> 00:25:07,467
even if that end is
saving the country itself.
436
00:25:07,534 --> 00:25:09,033
Oh, my.
437
00:25:10,701 --> 00:25:13,234
You should reread
the Constitution, Arthur.
438
00:25:13,300 --> 00:25:14,968
I have.
439
00:25:16,434 --> 00:25:18,868
You unleash
this thing...
440
00:25:18,934 --> 00:25:22,434
how do you know what
will ultimately happen?
441
00:25:22,500 --> 00:25:25,167
Because I control
what happens.
442
00:25:25,234 --> 00:25:26,734
What if something
goes wrong?
443
00:25:26,801 --> 00:25:30,434
Arthur, nothing
is going to go wrong.
444
00:25:31,834 --> 00:25:33,267
You have a backup plan.
445
00:25:33,334 --> 00:25:34,934
I don't want
to hear about that,
446
00:25:35,033 --> 00:25:37,901
including that exercise
this Saturday, you hear?
447
00:25:37,968 --> 00:25:40,100
Very well.
448
00:25:40,167 --> 00:25:42,968
I understand you have
misgivings, Arthur.
449
00:25:43,033 --> 00:25:45,534
What I need to know is
450
00:25:45,601 --> 00:25:47,601
what do you intend
to do about them?
451
00:25:48,968 --> 00:25:51,100
Nothing.
452
00:25:51,167 --> 00:25:53,367
Do I have
your word on that?
453
00:25:55,434 --> 00:25:56,601
Yes.
454
00:25:57,934 --> 00:26:00,000
Damn you!
455
00:26:00,067 --> 00:26:01,901
I respect that,
Arthur.
456
00:26:20,667 --> 00:26:23,200
Lloyd:
Afternoon, General.
Admiral. Come on in.
457
00:26:23,267 --> 00:26:26,567
- Good afternoon, General.
- Oh, Mac, uh, you can sit
this one out.
458
00:26:42,934 --> 00:26:44,901
Therapist:
Colonel, there appears
to be a lot of pressure
459
00:26:44,968 --> 00:26:46,567
at home right now.
460
00:26:46,634 --> 00:26:48,567
Todd talks about you
a great deal.
461
00:26:48,634 --> 00:26:51,334
Seems clear you've always
had a strong relationship.
462
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:53,968
He's my son
and I love him.
463
00:26:54,033 --> 00:26:55,968
But I don't see
what that's got
to do with this.
464
00:26:56,033 --> 00:26:57,834
Don't you?
465
00:26:57,901 --> 00:27:00,100
Mac:
Look, Doctor,
466
00:27:00,167 --> 00:27:02,534
I'm sure
you're very good
at what you do,
467
00:27:02,601 --> 00:27:06,400
but I don't think
this is getting us
anywhere.
468
00:27:06,467 --> 00:27:09,834
Todd made a mistake.
469
00:27:09,901 --> 00:27:13,500
He's got to deal
with his punishment,
learn from it,
470
00:27:13,567 --> 00:27:15,267
and move on.
471
00:27:15,334 --> 00:27:17,601
Right, Todd?
472
00:27:17,667 --> 00:27:20,033
You and your dad
live by a pretty tough
code of behavior,
473
00:27:20,100 --> 00:27:21,300
don't you, Todd?
474
00:27:21,367 --> 00:27:22,701
Todd:
I guess so.
475
00:27:22,767 --> 00:27:24,367
Therapist:
Let me ask you something.
476
00:27:24,434 --> 00:27:25,868
Did you ever wonder
what would happen
477
00:27:25,934 --> 00:27:27,634
if you failed
to live up to that code?
478
00:27:27,701 --> 00:27:29,434
I'd get in
a lot of trouble.
479
00:27:29,500 --> 00:27:31,667
- Jean: Dr. Jarvis--
- Jarvis: See, maybe
it was possible
480
00:27:31,734 --> 00:27:33,334
you were trying
to test things,
481
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:36,267
see if your dad
still loved you
just as much,
482
00:27:36,334 --> 00:27:37,901
even after
you got caught.
483
00:27:37,968 --> 00:27:39,400
Todd.
484
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:45,267
We'll watch the game
together tonight.
485
00:27:45,334 --> 00:27:46,767
You're leaving?
486
00:27:46,834 --> 00:27:48,167
Jean:
Now?
487
00:27:49,701 --> 00:27:52,467
I got to go.
I'm really sorry.
488
00:27:52,534 --> 00:27:54,634
How could you
do this?
489
00:27:54,701 --> 00:27:56,200
I'll be there
for tip-off.
490
00:27:56,267 --> 00:27:57,801
Save me a seat, huh?
491
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:00,601
Sorry.
492
00:28:02,868 --> 00:28:05,400
( distant siren wailing )
493
00:28:19,601 --> 00:28:21,734
I was just getting
ready to leave.
494
00:28:21,801 --> 00:28:24,534
Anybody but you,
I'd be gone by now.
495
00:28:24,601 --> 00:28:27,667
It wasn't exactly
convenient accommodating
your schedule.
496
00:28:27,734 --> 00:28:30,300
You got exactly
six minutes.
497
00:28:30,367 --> 00:28:32,868
Make it good.
498
00:28:32,934 --> 00:28:36,100
Have you ever heard
of a classified
covert exercise
499
00:28:36,167 --> 00:28:39,667
involving the military
and the CIA called Slam Dunk?
500
00:28:43,834 --> 00:28:46,534
Could the president
have approved
this exercise
501
00:28:46,601 --> 00:28:48,267
without you
having known?
502
00:28:48,334 --> 00:28:49,667
The political answer?
Sure.
503
00:28:49,734 --> 00:28:51,300
The truth? No.
504
00:28:51,367 --> 00:28:53,334
Last Sunday
I learned
505
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:55,934
that General Lloyd
was operating
a betting pool
506
00:28:56,033 --> 00:28:57,734
over the NBA playoffs.
507
00:28:57,801 --> 00:29:00,300
Pentagon's always
got betting pools.
So what?
508
00:29:00,367 --> 00:29:02,467
The general told me
he doesn't even know
who's playing.
509
00:29:02,534 --> 00:29:04,367
Betsy, that's not
like him.
510
00:29:04,434 --> 00:29:07,434
- He's never
lied to me before.
- ( car horn honks, passes )
511
00:29:08,834 --> 00:29:11,767
The same day,
I noticed that, um...
512
00:29:11,834 --> 00:29:13,033
live ammunition
had been ordered
513
00:29:13,100 --> 00:29:15,067
for this weekend's alert.
514
00:29:15,133 --> 00:29:19,067
So I did some checking,
and I found out two things.
515
00:29:19,133 --> 00:29:23,500
First, that they
were training more
for seizure
516
00:29:23,567 --> 00:29:25,734
than for protection,
517
00:29:25,801 --> 00:29:28,300
second, this live
ammunition was ordered
518
00:29:28,367 --> 00:29:29,834
for this Operation
Slam Dunk.
519
00:29:29,901 --> 00:29:31,367
And?
520
00:29:31,434 --> 00:29:33,634
I talked to the general.
521
00:29:33,701 --> 00:29:35,901
Told him that...
522
00:29:35,968 --> 00:29:37,734
there must have been
a communications glitch,
523
00:29:37,801 --> 00:29:39,534
because I was not
informed of the situation.
524
00:29:39,601 --> 00:29:41,801
And?
525
00:29:41,868 --> 00:29:45,467
He said that
the president wanted to keep
the list short on this one.
526
00:29:45,534 --> 00:29:48,634
Said he'd send me
the file, but he hasn't
shown it to me yet.
527
00:29:48,701 --> 00:29:50,701
Go on.
528
00:29:50,767 --> 00:29:52,834
General Lloyd...
529
00:29:52,901 --> 00:29:55,367
has been meeting
privately
530
00:29:55,434 --> 00:29:57,434
with Secretary Potter,
531
00:29:57,500 --> 00:29:59,467
other members
of the cabinet.
532
00:29:59,534 --> 00:30:01,534
Doesn't add up.
533
00:30:01,601 --> 00:30:03,901
You have absolutely
nothing but your
own conjecture.
534
00:30:03,968 --> 00:30:06,400
Standard exercise
calls for 10,000 men.
535
00:30:06,467 --> 00:30:09,868
This weekend,
we're deploying
100,000 troops
536
00:30:09,934 --> 00:30:12,901
into 12 major cities
of this country.
537
00:30:15,901 --> 00:30:17,534
And there's
one more thing.
538
00:30:17,601 --> 00:30:19,334
What's that?
539
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:22,434
The troops have been armed
with chemical weapons.
540
00:30:22,500 --> 00:30:25,400
I need to talk
to the president.
541
00:30:33,334 --> 00:30:34,801
Hi.
542
00:30:34,868 --> 00:30:37,534
How are you?
Good to see you.
543
00:30:37,601 --> 00:30:40,367
Man:
And now, our guest
this evening,
544
00:30:40,434 --> 00:30:42,100
Arthur Daniels,
545
00:30:42,167 --> 00:30:44,868
the Attorney General
of the United States.
546
00:30:46,701 --> 00:30:48,133
Always a pleasure,
ma'am.
547
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:50,367
( applause )
548
00:30:57,901 --> 00:30:59,601
Ambassador.
How are you?
549
00:30:59,667 --> 00:31:01,400
( music playing )
550
00:31:03,767 --> 00:31:06,734
Honey, I'm going to call you
in the morning.
551
00:31:18,934 --> 00:31:20,567
( laughs )
552
00:31:24,901 --> 00:31:28,100
( gasps )
553
00:31:29,834 --> 00:31:31,300
Mr. Daniels!
554
00:31:31,367 --> 00:31:32,868
- ( people gasp )
- Mr. Daniels!
555
00:31:32,934 --> 00:31:34,167
Sir! Sir!
556
00:31:42,634 --> 00:31:44,133
Get him on his back.
557
00:31:45,834 --> 00:31:47,868
( woman screams )
558
00:31:47,934 --> 00:31:49,167
One...
559
00:31:49,234 --> 00:31:51,100
and two, three...
560
00:31:51,167 --> 00:31:53,133
Somebody call
the paramedics.
561
00:31:55,634 --> 00:31:57,234
( crowd cheering )
562
00:31:57,300 --> 00:31:59,334
- Announcer: And slam dunk!
- Come on, man!
563
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:02,567
Announcer:
The Knicks have tied the game
101 to 101 against the Magic.
564
00:32:02,634 --> 00:32:04,901
- Trying to avoid
the screen...
- No!
565
00:32:04,968 --> 00:32:07,367
Announcer #2:
We interrupt this program
for a special report.
566
00:32:07,434 --> 00:32:10,634
Good evening, this is
Iris Gitter in front of
the Watergate Plaza
567
00:32:10,701 --> 00:32:13,100
in Washington, DC,
where just moments ago,
568
00:32:13,167 --> 00:32:15,868
US Attorney General
Arthur Daniels collapsed
and died
569
00:32:15,934 --> 00:32:17,567
- of an apparent
heart attack.
- Hello?
570
00:32:17,634 --> 00:32:19,734
You can see that the police
are closing off the area.
571
00:32:19,801 --> 00:32:22,300
- People are still leaving...
- Yes, he is. May I ask
who's calling?
572
00:32:22,367 --> 00:32:24,334
- ...that the attorney
general was attending.
- Just a minute.
573
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:26,834
He had no previous
record of a heart attack
or heart problems.
574
00:32:26,901 --> 00:32:30,701
- Mac, it's for you.
- All right.
575
00:32:30,767 --> 00:32:32,400
Thanks.
576
00:32:32,467 --> 00:32:33,968
Yes?
577
00:32:34,033 --> 00:32:35,934
Betsy:
Our friend would like you
to come for a visit.
578
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:37,601
East gate,
40 minutes.
579
00:32:37,667 --> 00:32:40,767
Right, 40 minutes.
I'll be there.
Thanks, bye.
580
00:32:50,667 --> 00:32:52,601
- ( dog barking )
- ( engine starts )
581
00:33:56,901 --> 00:33:58,200
Ready?
582
00:34:02,868 --> 00:34:04,567
( knocking )
583
00:34:05,868 --> 00:34:09,434
Mr. President,
Colonel Mac Casey.
584
00:34:12,634 --> 00:34:14,500
Please sit down,
Colonel.
585
00:34:14,567 --> 00:34:17,567
I prefer to stand.
Thank you, sir.
586
00:34:17,634 --> 00:34:20,534
Tell me about
the general.
587
00:34:20,601 --> 00:34:23,267
Sir, this is very
uncomfortable for me
588
00:34:23,334 --> 00:34:26,167
because it concerns
a superior officer that
I admire and respect.
589
00:34:26,234 --> 00:34:28,534
Understood.
590
00:34:28,601 --> 00:34:31,133
The general believes
that war is inevitable...
591
00:34:32,901 --> 00:34:34,934
and the next time
we will lose
592
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:36,801
because we have lost
our ability to fight.
593
00:34:39,267 --> 00:34:40,868
I'd like to ask you
a question, sir.
594
00:34:40,934 --> 00:34:42,834
Go ahead.
595
00:34:42,901 --> 00:34:46,734
Yesterday
I saw a private memo.
596
00:34:46,801 --> 00:34:51,167
An advanced chemical
disabling weapon called
Reagent Alpha One
597
00:34:51,234 --> 00:34:53,734
had been authorized
for this weekend's alert.
598
00:34:55,868 --> 00:34:58,167
Only the National
Command Authority
can do that, sir.
599
00:34:59,267 --> 00:35:02,167
I didn't order it.
600
00:35:02,234 --> 00:35:05,367
The only other person
with that authority
is Secretary Potter.
601
00:35:05,434 --> 00:35:07,234
Yes, sir.
602
00:35:14,133 --> 00:35:16,567
Now let me ask you
a question.
603
00:35:19,701 --> 00:35:22,033
You believe
General Lloyd is a hero.
604
00:35:22,100 --> 00:35:23,267
Yes, I do.
605
00:35:23,334 --> 00:35:25,434
Can a hero be a traitor?
606
00:35:27,167 --> 00:35:29,067
I'm afraid he could be.
607
00:35:30,500 --> 00:35:32,701
So you think there's
a military plot
608
00:35:32,767 --> 00:35:34,067
to take over
the government.
609
00:35:34,133 --> 00:35:36,801
Naked military takeover?
610
00:35:36,868 --> 00:35:40,267
Not in this country.
The people would never
stand for it.
611
00:35:40,334 --> 00:35:43,500
The men-at-arms are just
regular American kids.
612
00:35:43,567 --> 00:35:45,934
They wouldn't
stand for it either.
613
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:48,334
There has to be
something more.
614
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:52,100
The military action
has to be supporting
something,
615
00:35:52,167 --> 00:35:55,601
something within
the law that the people
could accept.
616
00:35:58,367 --> 00:36:00,300
The attorney general...
617
00:36:00,367 --> 00:36:02,634
he died of
a heart attack, sir?
618
00:36:04,300 --> 00:36:08,367
Art Daniels
just had his physical
a week ago at Bethesda.
619
00:36:08,434 --> 00:36:10,801
We asked about it.
620
00:36:10,868 --> 00:36:12,801
He was in perfect health.
621
00:36:15,634 --> 00:36:17,767
The KGB
622
00:36:17,834 --> 00:36:20,467
used to use smoke
and prussic acid.
623
00:36:20,534 --> 00:36:23,567
Death was instantaneous.
Looked like a coronary.
624
00:36:24,868 --> 00:36:27,567
Our boys could have
done the same thing.
625
00:36:27,634 --> 00:36:30,267
You believe Art Daniels
was assassinated?
626
00:36:31,834 --> 00:36:34,734
What I do not believe in,
sir, is coincidence.
627
00:36:36,334 --> 00:36:37,901
Maybe Daniels found out.
628
00:36:37,968 --> 00:36:40,400
Maybe he was even
involved in it.
629
00:36:40,467 --> 00:36:42,300
Maybe he just had
a heart attack.
630
00:36:42,367 --> 00:36:44,968
Maybe.
631
00:36:46,734 --> 00:36:50,167
Mac has a list
of 22 names.
632
00:36:50,234 --> 00:36:53,033
They're the commanders
of the exercise
this weekend.
633
00:36:53,100 --> 00:36:55,567
He thinks
they'll make a move
during the alert.
634
00:36:55,634 --> 00:36:59,567
If it is true,
all you can do is fire
them now.
635
00:36:59,634 --> 00:37:01,534
What about
the other generals?
636
00:37:01,601 --> 00:37:03,467
Do I trust them
637
00:37:03,534 --> 00:37:06,934
just because
Colonel Casey hasn't
found their names yet?
638
00:37:09,133 --> 00:37:12,801
If I fire my top
22 generals,
639
00:37:12,868 --> 00:37:15,801
claim they're traitors
without proof...
640
00:37:15,868 --> 00:37:18,133
You could be impeached.
641
00:37:20,868 --> 00:37:22,834
It's a possibility, sir.
642
00:37:22,901 --> 00:37:25,133
And a chance you might
just have to take.
643
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:27,801
Mac:
Sir, we don't know
what they're planning
644
00:37:27,868 --> 00:37:30,067
or what they'd do
to protect themselves
645
00:37:30,133 --> 00:37:32,834
if they suspected
that we knew.
646
00:37:32,901 --> 00:37:36,334
They might move it up.
They might go immediately.
647
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:38,267
We tip our hands
right now,
648
00:37:38,334 --> 00:37:40,367
we are giving up
our tactical advantage
of surprise,
649
00:37:40,434 --> 00:37:43,767
and, frankly, sir,
that is the only advantage
that we have.
650
00:37:43,834 --> 00:37:46,167
And what are we supposed
to do with our tactical
advantage?
651
00:37:46,234 --> 00:37:49,267
We're going
to find out who they are,
what they're planning,
652
00:37:49,334 --> 00:37:51,667
and how to stop them
in 69 hours.
653
00:37:51,734 --> 00:37:54,834
You're career military.
654
00:37:54,901 --> 00:37:56,334
You're General Lloyd's
protégé.
655
00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:57,901
Why didn't you
join them?
656
00:37:57,968 --> 00:37:59,167
They didn't ask me.
657
00:37:59,234 --> 00:38:01,601
If they had?
658
00:38:01,667 --> 00:38:03,434
The military exist
659
00:38:03,500 --> 00:38:06,033
to support and defend
the government,
660
00:38:06,100 --> 00:38:09,067
not to be
the government, sir.
661
00:38:09,133 --> 00:38:12,234
Should I worry
about where your
loyalties lie?
662
00:38:15,367 --> 00:38:17,200
I'm here.
663
00:38:19,300 --> 00:38:21,901
I'm the one who
blew the whistle, sir.
664
00:38:21,968 --> 00:38:24,000
( crickets chirping )
665
00:39:22,801 --> 00:39:24,100
( car alarm chirps )
666
00:39:26,968 --> 00:39:28,534
Good night, sir.
667
00:39:34,300 --> 00:39:35,901
( engine starts )
668
00:39:46,801 --> 00:39:48,667
( engine starts )
669
00:39:53,033 --> 00:39:56,067
( tires squealing )
670
00:40:37,100 --> 00:40:39,868
- ( birds chirping )
- ( dog barking )
671
00:40:39,934 --> 00:40:41,934
- Stop!
- ( gasps )
672
00:40:44,367 --> 00:40:45,834
Sorry.
673
00:40:45,901 --> 00:40:48,067
What time
did you get in
last night?
674
00:40:48,133 --> 00:40:49,300
What?
675
00:40:49,367 --> 00:40:51,300
Mac, you've done
classified work before.
676
00:40:51,367 --> 00:40:54,067
You've always
told me something.
677
00:40:54,133 --> 00:40:57,100
- It's different.
- How?
678
00:40:57,167 --> 00:41:00,033
Is there something
you should let me know?
679
00:41:00,100 --> 00:41:01,934
If I could, I would.
680
00:41:04,334 --> 00:41:06,200
I see.
681
00:41:09,133 --> 00:41:12,701
You run out on us
twice in one night.
682
00:41:12,767 --> 00:41:15,334
You don't come back home
until 3:00 in the morning.
683
00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:16,767
Honey...
684
00:41:16,834 --> 00:41:19,234
For 15 years...
685
00:41:20,834 --> 00:41:22,567
I mean, I ever give you
trouble like that?
686
00:41:23,734 --> 00:41:25,701
I never thought so.
687
00:41:25,767 --> 00:41:27,834
I'm no angel, Jean.
688
00:41:29,834 --> 00:41:33,167
I may be
a lousy father,
689
00:41:33,234 --> 00:41:36,701
but I promise
I'll be there for him.
690
00:41:36,767 --> 00:41:39,267
I'm trying really hard
691
00:41:39,334 --> 00:41:40,868
to believe that.
692
00:41:47,434 --> 00:41:49,567
( overlapping voices )
Good morning, Mr. President.
693
00:41:49,634 --> 00:41:51,734
How does it look
this morning?
694
00:41:51,801 --> 00:41:54,267
Did our colonel
just have a bad dream?
695
00:41:54,334 --> 00:41:56,701
I'm afraid
it's not going
to go away.
696
00:41:56,767 --> 00:41:58,334
Thank you.
697
00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:00,267
What amazes me is
698
00:42:00,334 --> 00:42:03,834
that this thing
hasn't leaked yet.
699
00:42:03,901 --> 00:42:07,033
I want you
to scrub my meeting
with John at the fed.
700
00:42:07,100 --> 00:42:08,567
Throw some smoke
at the press
701
00:42:08,634 --> 00:42:10,901
that I'm working on
foreign affairs
for a change.
702
00:42:12,500 --> 00:42:15,634
Tell me about Casey.
You confident about him?
703
00:42:15,701 --> 00:42:18,901
I've known him
for a long time.
704
00:42:18,968 --> 00:42:21,100
We're making a big bet
on one man.
705
00:42:21,167 --> 00:42:24,400
What do we do, bring back
the national security
adviser from Kiev?
706
00:42:24,467 --> 00:42:27,167
Nope. Charlie Potter
would smell a rat
right off.
707
00:42:27,234 --> 00:42:30,234
I thought Charlie
was my friend.
708
00:42:30,300 --> 00:42:33,300
If we get lucky,
find a guy who's
not a conspirator.
709
00:42:33,367 --> 00:42:35,601
How do we know
he'll even help us?
710
00:42:35,667 --> 00:42:38,133
FBI?
Secret Service?
711
00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:40,300
If Daniels could have
been in on it...
712
00:42:40,367 --> 00:42:41,868
Why not the FBI?
713
00:42:41,934 --> 00:42:43,834
Why not anybody?
714
00:42:43,901 --> 00:42:47,767
We might get a hand from
Daniels' private secretary,
Sarah something.
715
00:42:47,834 --> 00:42:49,434
She's not too bright.
716
00:42:49,500 --> 00:42:52,133
I'll make up a story,
give her a call.
717
00:42:52,200 --> 00:42:54,100
- ( band playing )
- ( cameras clicking )
718
00:42:57,267 --> 00:43:00,267
( phone rings )
719
00:43:01,801 --> 00:43:04,400
- Yeah?
- Woman: Colonel Casey,
please.
720
00:43:04,467 --> 00:43:06,534
Yeah, he's right here.
Hang on. Mac?
721
00:43:06,601 --> 00:43:07,868
Yeah?
722
00:43:09,367 --> 00:43:10,868
Hello?
723
00:43:10,934 --> 00:43:13,634
- Please hold for
the chief of staff.
- Yeah.
724
00:43:13,701 --> 00:43:17,434
Betsy:
The attorney general's
secretary is a Sarah McCann.
725
00:43:17,500 --> 00:43:20,767
You'll be meeting her tonight
at the Justice Department.
726
00:43:20,834 --> 00:43:23,400
- Okay.
- Ninth Street
entrance, 7:00.
727
00:43:23,467 --> 00:43:25,400
That'll give the building
time to clear.
728
00:43:25,467 --> 00:43:27,701
Oh, your name
is Wycliffe, Philip.
729
00:43:27,767 --> 00:43:30,167
I-- I got to go now.
I got to go.
730
00:43:30,234 --> 00:43:33,300
Hey, saw you checking out
of the White House last night.
731
00:43:33,367 --> 00:43:36,133
What are you,
special adviser
to the president?
732
00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:37,334
It wasn't me, pal.
733
00:43:38,868 --> 00:43:39,968
Mac?
734
00:43:41,234 --> 00:43:43,334
Sir?
735
00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:44,634
Did you forget
something, sir?
736
00:43:44,701 --> 00:43:47,133
You've been working
too hard.
737
00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:49,167
Just take care
of this briefing,
738
00:43:49,234 --> 00:43:50,500
and then take
a three-day pass
739
00:43:50,567 --> 00:43:52,100
and spend some time
with the family.
740
00:43:52,167 --> 00:43:54,000
That's an order.
741
00:43:54,067 --> 00:43:55,167
Thank you, sir.
742
00:44:14,801 --> 00:44:16,934
Sarah:
Mr. Wycliffe?
743
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:18,567
I'm Sarah McCann.
744
00:44:21,434 --> 00:44:23,634
Could he have had
another appointment book?
745
00:44:23,701 --> 00:44:25,100
A private one, maybe?
746
00:44:25,167 --> 00:44:27,300
No. Just that one,
I think.
747
00:44:29,767 --> 00:44:32,834
Did General Lloyd
come here often?
748
00:44:32,901 --> 00:44:35,033
Just that once.
749
00:44:35,100 --> 00:44:37,000
Can you remember
anything about that--
750
00:44:37,067 --> 00:44:38,701
how the general looked
when he went in,
751
00:44:38,767 --> 00:44:40,334
when he came out?
752
00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:43,968
The attorney general's
mood after the meeting?
753
00:44:44,033 --> 00:44:45,734
Well, they fought.
754
00:44:45,801 --> 00:44:47,901
I heard both
of their voices raised
through the door,
755
00:44:47,968 --> 00:44:50,601
but I couldn't hear
any words.
756
00:44:50,667 --> 00:44:53,400
And when they came out,
they were smiling.
757
00:44:55,534 --> 00:44:58,067
Sarah,
758
00:44:58,133 --> 00:45:00,634
could you sit down
for a second?
759
00:45:03,834 --> 00:45:05,467
Thank you.
760
00:45:07,100 --> 00:45:09,667
What did Miss Corcoran
tell you about the situation?
761
00:45:09,734 --> 00:45:12,200
Miss Corcoran
didn't call me.
762
00:45:12,267 --> 00:45:15,033
The president
called me himself.
763
00:45:15,100 --> 00:45:18,033
He said I should
give you anything
you ask for
764
00:45:18,100 --> 00:45:19,767
and to keep this
a secret
765
00:45:19,834 --> 00:45:21,968
because Mr. Daniels
had some enemies
766
00:45:22,033 --> 00:45:24,968
and that you were defending
Mr. Daniels' good name.
767
00:45:27,334 --> 00:45:29,868
He wasn't a perfect man,
768
00:45:29,934 --> 00:45:32,167
but he was a good man.
769
00:45:32,234 --> 00:45:35,300
You see,
the president said
770
00:45:35,367 --> 00:45:37,133
for you to give me
whatever I ask.
771
00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:41,267
But what we're
looking for is a secret.
772
00:45:41,334 --> 00:45:43,567
So I don't know
what to ask.
773
00:45:45,567 --> 00:45:46,667
You know.
774
00:46:01,367 --> 00:46:03,267
This wasn't anything
like Watergate.
775
00:46:03,334 --> 00:46:05,067
This was just
for his memoirs.
776
00:46:05,133 --> 00:46:06,634
And he wouldn't have
written anything
777
00:46:06,701 --> 00:46:08,868
until after everyone
had retired.
778
00:46:08,934 --> 00:46:12,133
And then he
would have handled
everything with...
779
00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:13,334
integrity.
780
00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:15,701
I need the tapes, Sarah.
781
00:46:15,767 --> 00:46:17,701
Especially the ones
from Tuesday.
782
00:46:17,767 --> 00:46:20,000
He didn't
give them to me.
783
00:46:20,067 --> 00:46:23,334
They're at his house,
I think.
784
00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:25,267
Is there anybody there?
785
00:46:25,334 --> 00:46:27,100
No, after the divorce,
he lived--
786
00:46:27,167 --> 00:46:28,801
he lived by himself.
787
00:46:30,834 --> 00:46:32,767
I have a key.
788
00:47:06,767 --> 00:47:08,133
( door closes )
789
00:48:19,801 --> 00:48:21,601
Scorched tapes
and ashes.
790
00:48:21,667 --> 00:48:24,500
Betsy:
Damn! Well, at least
it proves we're right.
791
00:48:24,567 --> 00:48:26,567
This thing does go deeper
than the military.
792
00:48:26,634 --> 00:48:29,067
It proves it to us.
It doesn't prove it
to the country.
793
00:48:29,133 --> 00:48:32,767
Now we're down
to 48 hours.
794
00:48:32,834 --> 00:48:34,634
45.
795
00:48:34,701 --> 00:48:37,200
I'll update
the president.
796
00:48:37,267 --> 00:48:39,067
Okay.
797
00:48:44,667 --> 00:48:46,868
( birds chirping )
798
00:49:06,300 --> 00:49:07,834
What's the matter?
You tired?
799
00:49:07,901 --> 00:49:09,968
You run.
You run home.
800
00:49:10,033 --> 00:49:12,701
Run home now.
Let's go. Go! Go!
801
00:49:12,767 --> 00:49:14,634
I don't have time
to explain. Now, go.
802
00:49:58,868 --> 00:50:00,500
( grunts )
803
00:50:09,367 --> 00:50:12,234
We just want
to talk to you.
804
00:50:12,300 --> 00:50:15,234
( clock chiming )
805
00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:30,767
Colonel Casey!
806
00:50:37,734 --> 00:50:40,033
Who are you?
807
00:50:40,100 --> 00:50:42,968
Call me Jake.
808
00:50:43,033 --> 00:50:44,667
Jake?
809
00:50:44,734 --> 00:50:46,467
Would you prefer Joe?
810
00:50:46,534 --> 00:50:49,801
No.
Jake is fine.
811
00:50:49,868 --> 00:50:52,200
I didn't know you guys
were still in business.
812
00:50:52,267 --> 00:50:56,434
Yes. We Russians
have a great respect
for our traditions.
813
00:50:56,500 --> 00:50:59,100
What am I doing here?
814
00:50:59,167 --> 00:51:04,167
You are Colonel
Lyle MacArthur Casey,
815
00:51:04,234 --> 00:51:07,634
and you are tracking
your own superior,
General Lloyd,
816
00:51:07,701 --> 00:51:10,767
and reporting back
to the White House.
817
00:51:10,834 --> 00:51:14,567
That is why I wish
to speak with you.
818
00:51:14,634 --> 00:51:18,267
We know that you
are facing a conspiracy
819
00:51:18,334 --> 00:51:20,267
in your government,
Colonel.
820
00:51:20,334 --> 00:51:23,300
We wish to help.
821
00:51:23,367 --> 00:51:27,500
President Foster
is a humanitarian,
822
00:51:27,567 --> 00:51:31,968
sympathetic to the plight
of my people.
823
00:51:32,033 --> 00:51:35,734
And a militarily
controlled US
824
00:51:35,801 --> 00:51:38,300
is not in
our best interests.
825
00:51:41,200 --> 00:51:42,434
Fort Benning.
826
00:51:43,868 --> 00:51:45,901
Here is NORAD.
827
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:49,934
Now Tampa.
828
00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:53,868
Troop movements,
all from this morning.
829
00:51:53,934 --> 00:51:56,167
How'd you get
these photographs?
830
00:51:56,234 --> 00:52:00,968
We accessed your
high-resolution satellite.
831
00:52:01,033 --> 00:52:03,267
Very simple.
832
00:52:03,334 --> 00:52:04,901
Next...
833
00:52:04,968 --> 00:52:07,367
hunting lodge...
834
00:52:07,434 --> 00:52:09,200
Blue Ridge Mountains.
835
00:52:09,267 --> 00:52:12,267
Four meetings
in six weeks--
836
00:52:12,334 --> 00:52:15,601
always these
very same men.
837
00:52:20,334 --> 00:52:21,767
You know, Colonel,
838
00:52:21,834 --> 00:52:26,534
the Pentagon is
the best news manager
in the world.
839
00:52:26,601 --> 00:52:29,033
Your general
has all he needs--
840
00:52:29,100 --> 00:52:31,000
the politicians,
841
00:52:31,067 --> 00:52:34,067
the military,
public opinion,
842
00:52:34,133 --> 00:52:37,367
and the next president.
843
00:52:38,868 --> 00:52:42,534
Vice President Kelly.
844
00:52:46,267 --> 00:52:48,067
Foster:
Walter Kelly.
845
00:52:48,133 --> 00:52:50,767
Why am I not surprised?
846
00:52:50,834 --> 00:52:52,868
And Jack Giddings,
847
00:52:52,934 --> 00:52:56,234
more money than God
and the moral sense
of an ant.
848
00:52:56,300 --> 00:52:59,167
Fire everybody
in sight, the whole
fucking cabinet.
849
00:52:59,234 --> 00:53:01,100
I can't fire
the vice president,
850
00:53:01,167 --> 00:53:03,400
and I can't fire
Jack Giddings.
851
00:53:03,467 --> 00:53:05,801
What's worse,
I can't prove anything.
852
00:53:05,868 --> 00:53:07,500
What about
these photographs?
853
00:53:07,567 --> 00:53:09,534
You want me
to go on TV and say,
854
00:53:09,601 --> 00:53:12,467
"I got these photos
from the Russians
of our bases,
855
00:53:12,534 --> 00:53:16,634
which incriminate
the most popular hero
in the United States."
856
00:53:16,701 --> 00:53:19,734
The vote to impeach
would end gridlock.
857
00:53:19,801 --> 00:53:22,100
It'd be unanimous
and bipartisan.
858
00:53:22,167 --> 00:53:25,601
And then Walter Kelly
waltzes into the Oval Office
859
00:53:25,667 --> 00:53:27,300
through the front door.
860
00:53:27,367 --> 00:53:30,767
We still have
some time, sir.
861
00:53:30,834 --> 00:53:33,767
Go back
to your friends, Mac.
862
00:53:33,834 --> 00:53:35,534
There's got to be more.
863
00:53:35,601 --> 00:53:37,267
Get me some proof
I can use.
864
00:53:37,334 --> 00:53:40,100
We're down to 35 hours.
We have to do something.
865
00:53:40,167 --> 00:53:42,067
I know what I'm doing.
866
00:53:43,167 --> 00:53:44,934
- Yes?
- Man: Excuse me, sir.
867
00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:47,734
The president's
on line one.
868
00:53:47,801 --> 00:53:49,300
Foster:
Good afternoon, General.
869
00:53:49,367 --> 00:53:50,968
Good afternoon,
Mr. President.
870
00:53:51,033 --> 00:53:52,968
General, I'll come
straight to the point.
871
00:53:53,033 --> 00:53:55,667
I want to cancel the alert
this weekend.
872
00:53:59,934 --> 00:54:02,601
If I may, sir, um...
873
00:54:02,667 --> 00:54:04,801
this exercise is vital
to our readiness,
874
00:54:04,868 --> 00:54:06,367
as we discussed.
875
00:54:06,434 --> 00:54:07,968
I agree, General.
876
00:54:08,033 --> 00:54:10,601
I'm not suggesting
we cancel it indefinitely,
877
00:54:10,667 --> 00:54:12,734
but with everything
that's happened,
878
00:54:12,801 --> 00:54:14,834
I want to postpone it.
879
00:54:14,901 --> 00:54:17,434
Well, of course,
the final decision
is up to you, sir,
880
00:54:17,500 --> 00:54:21,434
but I must say I cannot
endorse your decision.
881
00:54:21,500 --> 00:54:24,567
I'd take that under
consideration, General,
882
00:54:24,634 --> 00:54:27,500
but I'm afraid
my decision is final.
883
00:54:27,567 --> 00:54:29,367
I want it canceled.
884
00:54:29,434 --> 00:54:30,834
Good-bye, General.
885
00:54:30,901 --> 00:54:32,734
( clicks, dial tone )
886
00:54:35,200 --> 00:54:36,300
( button clicks )
887
00:54:40,801 --> 00:54:42,734
Bye, Mr. President.
888
00:54:42,801 --> 00:54:45,534
( thunder rumbles )
889
00:54:47,100 --> 00:54:50,300
Priest:
Arthur Daniels had
the same respect for life,
890
00:54:50,367 --> 00:54:52,500
family, and God
891
00:54:52,567 --> 00:54:55,200
as for the law
he swore to uphold.
892
00:54:55,267 --> 00:54:58,300
He left us
a legacy of decency.
893
00:54:58,367 --> 00:55:01,534
Decency in every aspect
of his life.
894
00:55:01,601 --> 00:55:04,334
For those of us
who knew him,
895
00:55:04,400 --> 00:55:07,901
we learned to admire
and respect him.
896
00:55:07,968 --> 00:55:10,367
We shall miss him
greatly.
897
00:55:10,434 --> 00:55:12,834
Let us pray.
898
00:55:12,901 --> 00:55:16,667
Unto Thee, O Lord,
do I lift up my soul.
899
00:55:16,734 --> 00:55:19,167
O, my God,
I trust in Thee.
900
00:55:19,234 --> 00:55:20,767
Let me not be ashamed.
901
00:55:20,834 --> 00:55:24,734
Let not mine enemies
triumph over me.
902
00:55:24,801 --> 00:55:27,167
Let none that wait on me
be ashamed.
903
00:55:27,234 --> 00:55:30,968
Let them be ashamed
which transgress
without cause.
904
00:55:31,033 --> 00:55:33,200
Show me Thy ways,
O Lord,
905
00:55:33,267 --> 00:55:35,534
teach me Thy paths.
906
00:55:35,601 --> 00:55:37,367
Consider mine enemies,
907
00:55:37,434 --> 00:55:38,767
for they are many,
908
00:55:38,834 --> 00:55:41,000
and they hate me
with cruel hatred.
909
00:55:41,067 --> 00:55:43,100
So keep my soul
and deliver me.
910
00:55:43,167 --> 00:55:45,167
Let me not be ashamed,
911
00:55:45,234 --> 00:55:47,033
for I put my trust
in Thee.
912
00:55:47,100 --> 00:55:49,167
- Billy.
- Hey, I thought
you were off.
913
00:55:49,234 --> 00:55:50,868
- Dear Lord...
- I came to see you.
914
00:55:50,934 --> 00:55:53,133
...let Your son,
Arthur Daniels,
915
00:55:53,200 --> 00:55:54,634
be with You today.
916
00:55:54,701 --> 00:55:56,634
Man:
One and...
917
00:55:59,267 --> 00:56:00,634
ready...
918
00:56:00,701 --> 00:56:02,234
aim...
919
00:56:02,300 --> 00:56:03,434
- fire!
- ( gunshots )
920
00:56:03,500 --> 00:56:04,734
Ready...
921
00:56:04,801 --> 00:56:06,234
aim...
922
00:56:06,300 --> 00:56:07,667
- fire!
- ( gunshots )
923
00:56:07,734 --> 00:56:10,300
Ready, aim...
924
00:56:10,367 --> 00:56:11,767
- fire!
- ( gunshots )
925
00:56:11,834 --> 00:56:14,234
Ready, aim...
926
00:56:14,300 --> 00:56:15,934
- fire!
- ( gunshots )
927
00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:18,267
Ready, aim...
928
00:56:18,334 --> 00:56:20,300
- fire!
- ( gunshots )
929
00:56:20,367 --> 00:56:21,367
Try it again.
930
00:56:21,434 --> 00:56:24,167
Present arms.
931
00:56:27,500 --> 00:56:29,667
Order arms.
932
00:56:36,534 --> 00:56:39,901
It's unfortunate
that this was necessary.
933
00:56:39,968 --> 00:56:41,934
We're going to get
our hands dirty
934
00:56:42,000 --> 00:56:45,701
no matter
how antiseptically
we do this.
935
00:56:52,968 --> 00:56:54,300
Billy:
They're shutting it down.
936
00:56:54,367 --> 00:56:55,934
Try it again.
937
00:56:56,000 --> 00:56:59,434
Look, I've already gone
where no lieutenant's
gone before.
938
00:56:59,500 --> 00:57:00,834
Try it again,
Lieutenant.
939
00:57:00,901 --> 00:57:02,634
Colonel,
this ain't kosher.
940
00:57:02,701 --> 00:57:04,634
Damn it, Billy,
you just--
941
00:57:04,701 --> 00:57:07,267
you go have
a cup of coffee, okay?
942
00:57:33,767 --> 00:57:35,100
We're in
agreement.
943
00:57:35,167 --> 00:57:37,434
This thing is a go
for tomorrow.
944
00:57:46,267 --> 00:57:47,767
Colonel.
945
00:57:53,901 --> 00:57:55,200
Lieutenant.
946
00:57:55,267 --> 00:57:56,400
Sir?
947
00:57:56,467 --> 00:57:59,534
Was that
Colonel Casey?
948
00:58:00,767 --> 00:58:02,234
No, sir.
949
00:58:02,300 --> 00:58:04,200
He's on
a three-day pass, sir.
950
00:58:05,400 --> 00:58:07,133
Thank you,
Lieutenant.
951
00:58:07,200 --> 00:58:09,400
Carry on.
952
00:58:09,467 --> 00:58:10,667
Sir.
953
00:58:13,968 --> 00:58:16,234
( cheering )
954
00:58:16,300 --> 00:58:19,667
If I don't get
some hard proof by 8:
00 tomorrow night,
955
00:58:19,734 --> 00:58:21,601
there'll be
no second chances.
956
00:58:21,667 --> 00:58:24,200
We came forward to you.
957
00:58:24,267 --> 00:58:27,133
Why would I hold back
hard proof?
958
00:58:27,200 --> 00:58:30,334
Because it compromises
some other interest
of yours?
959
00:58:30,400 --> 00:58:32,400
Maybe an agent
you have in place?
960
00:58:33,601 --> 00:58:35,534
( spectators cheering )
961
00:58:35,601 --> 00:58:37,367
Jake:
Hypothetically speaking,
962
00:58:37,434 --> 00:58:40,100
if such an agent existed,
963
00:58:40,167 --> 00:58:43,567
I presume
one could bargain.
964
00:58:43,634 --> 00:58:46,033
One can
always bargain.
965
00:58:46,100 --> 00:58:47,601
- Coach: Come on,
all the way now.
- ( bat cracks )
966
00:58:47,667 --> 00:58:49,534
- All the way.
- Man: Oh, yeah!
967
00:58:49,601 --> 00:58:52,601
Jordan almonds.
I'm addicted.
968
00:58:52,667 --> 00:58:54,801
I need a witness
to testify, Jake.
969
00:58:54,868 --> 00:58:58,000
( sighs )
The agent in place
970
00:58:58,067 --> 00:59:00,234
has been a bit
of a problem to us
971
00:59:00,300 --> 00:59:02,133
for reasons
that I cannot say.
972
00:59:02,200 --> 00:59:04,033
Going to the other
side, is he?
973
00:59:04,100 --> 00:59:07,300
Let's just say
emotional problems.
974
00:59:07,367 --> 00:59:09,601
Let me think on this.
975
00:59:11,534 --> 00:59:13,300
The third baseman...
976
00:59:14,734 --> 00:59:16,300
- Umpire: You're out of there!
- ...my child!
977
00:59:16,367 --> 00:59:18,000
( shouts in Russian )
978
00:59:18,067 --> 00:59:19,534
I love this game!
979
00:59:22,901 --> 00:59:26,167
Mac:
The Russians
are hoping for a deal.
980
00:59:26,234 --> 00:59:28,534
Get me proof...
981
00:59:28,601 --> 00:59:30,300
and their agent
goes home.
982
00:59:30,367 --> 00:59:32,100
Yes, sir, I'm to be
contacted on that.
983
00:59:32,167 --> 00:59:34,701
Let's pray it's soon
984
00:59:34,767 --> 00:59:38,300
because with 20 hours to go,
we've got nothing.
985
00:59:38,367 --> 00:59:40,400
The ultimate would be
a confession--
986
00:59:40,467 --> 00:59:42,267
someone inside
the conspiracy.
987
00:59:42,334 --> 00:59:43,901
Why would anybody
do that?
988
00:59:43,968 --> 00:59:45,968
Especially since they'd be
confessing to treason.
989
00:59:46,033 --> 00:59:48,767
Maybe even murder.
990
00:59:48,834 --> 00:59:51,500
( clock chiming )
991
00:59:51,567 --> 00:59:54,734
I keep thinking
about Art Daniels.
992
00:59:54,801 --> 00:59:56,801
One thing
he would never do
993
00:59:56,868 --> 00:59:59,133
is go against
the Constitution.
994
01:00:02,767 --> 01:00:06,567
We live in a highly
evolved democracy.
995
01:00:06,634 --> 01:00:08,334
They're going to have
to do something
996
01:00:08,400 --> 01:00:10,500
to give this thing
the appearance,
997
01:00:10,567 --> 01:00:13,601
the illusion of legality.
998
01:00:22,434 --> 01:00:25,367
Betsy:
Amendment 25,
ratified after Kennedy.
999
01:00:25,434 --> 01:00:28,367
Presidential Disability
and Succession Act,
1000
01:00:28,434 --> 01:00:30,200
Section 4.
1001
01:00:30,267 --> 01:00:32,067
"Whenever
the vice president"
1002
01:00:32,133 --> 01:00:34,100
and a majority of either
the principal officers
1003
01:00:34,167 --> 01:00:35,634
"of the executive
departments"--
1004
01:00:35,701 --> 01:00:37,968
sound like
the cabinet, sir?
1005
01:00:38,033 --> 01:00:40,367
- Foster: Keep reading.
- "Or of such other body"
1006
01:00:40,434 --> 01:00:42,200
as Congress may
by law provide,
1007
01:00:42,267 --> 01:00:45,000
transmit to the president
pro tempore of the Senate
1008
01:00:45,067 --> 01:00:46,968
and the Speaker of
the House of Representatives
1009
01:00:47,033 --> 01:00:49,267
their written declaration
that the president
1010
01:00:49,334 --> 01:00:52,534
is unable to discharge
the powers and duties
of his office,
1011
01:00:52,601 --> 01:00:54,901
the vice president
shall immediately assume
1012
01:00:54,968 --> 01:00:56,767
the powers and duties
of the office
1013
01:00:56,834 --> 01:00:58,434
"as acting president."
1014
01:00:58,500 --> 01:01:00,167
Just by sending
a letter,
1015
01:01:00,234 --> 01:01:02,834
you can be removed
from office?
1016
01:01:02,901 --> 01:01:05,801
If I write a letter saying
that I am not disabled,
1017
01:01:05,868 --> 01:01:08,767
I don't automatically
get my job back.
1018
01:01:08,834 --> 01:01:11,000
The other side
gets four days
1019
01:01:11,067 --> 01:01:13,934
to say that I am disabled,
which they will,
1020
01:01:14,000 --> 01:01:17,234
and then the Congress
gets 21 days to meet
and vote on it.
1021
01:01:17,300 --> 01:01:19,367
And through
all that time,
1022
01:01:19,434 --> 01:01:21,300
Walter Kelly,
1023
01:01:21,367 --> 01:01:23,901
that backbiting...
1024
01:01:23,968 --> 01:01:26,634
remains president.
1025
01:01:28,934 --> 01:01:30,634
I'll be damned,
that's it.
1026
01:01:30,701 --> 01:01:32,100
That's what, sir?
1027
01:01:32,167 --> 01:01:35,033
They want a new president
they can control.
1028
01:01:35,100 --> 01:01:37,868
The 25th Amendment
makes it legal.
1029
01:01:39,701 --> 01:01:41,934
That's their cover.
1030
01:01:45,300 --> 01:01:48,033
Kelly:
This letter was delivered
at 8:00 this evening.
1031
01:01:48,100 --> 01:01:50,801
Accordingly,
I speak to you now
1032
01:01:50,868 --> 01:01:52,200
as your president.
1033
01:01:52,267 --> 01:01:53,801
We are going
to try the issues
1034
01:01:53,868 --> 01:01:57,400
of Will Foster's mental
and emotional stability.
1035
01:01:57,467 --> 01:02:00,367
Not tonight.
These issues will be tried
in the Congress
1036
01:02:00,434 --> 01:02:02,334
as required
by our Constitution.
1037
01:02:02,400 --> 01:02:06,000
And the system
will work its will
in this crisis
1038
01:02:06,067 --> 01:02:08,500
as it has in others.
1039
01:02:08,567 --> 01:02:10,601
Every man is imperfect
by nature,
1040
01:02:10,667 --> 01:02:12,133
and every nation
throughout history
1041
01:02:12,200 --> 01:02:14,267
has been ruled by men.
1042
01:02:14,334 --> 01:02:15,901
Every nation but ours.
1043
01:02:15,968 --> 01:02:17,901
I have, therefore, decided,
1044
01:02:18,000 --> 01:02:20,234
in consultation with
other government leaders,
1045
01:02:20,300 --> 01:02:22,200
as a purely
temporary measure,
1046
01:02:22,267 --> 01:02:24,133
that for the next 72 hours
1047
01:02:24,200 --> 01:02:27,167
there will be
a dusk to dawn curfew.
1048
01:02:27,234 --> 01:02:30,500
The writ of habeas corpus
will be suspended
during this time.
1049
01:02:30,567 --> 01:02:33,500
Accordingly, I have placed
in the hands of our joint
chiefs of staff--
1050
01:02:33,567 --> 01:02:35,701
Potter:
We may want
to change that.
1051
01:02:35,767 --> 01:02:38,000
It smells
of a military junta.
1052
01:02:38,067 --> 01:02:40,601
When you say
you place the power
into their hands,
1053
01:02:40,667 --> 01:02:42,534
there's a sense that
you're giving up control.
1054
01:02:42,601 --> 01:02:45,200
Wrong.
You're the president.
1055
01:02:45,267 --> 01:02:47,701
They're simply
your traffic cops.
1056
01:02:47,767 --> 01:02:51,167
So, I've given an order
to-- I've given orders--
1057
01:02:51,234 --> 01:02:54,200
And just lighten up
the tone a little through
this section here.
1058
01:02:54,267 --> 01:02:55,868
Let the words
carry the power.
1059
01:02:55,934 --> 01:02:58,033
A purely
temporary measure.
1060
01:02:58,100 --> 01:03:01,234
They don't like Will Foster
any more than we do,
1061
01:03:01,300 --> 01:03:03,701
but he is
the elected president.
1062
01:03:03,767 --> 01:03:05,667
You're simply letting them
off the hook.
1063
01:03:05,734 --> 01:03:07,968
They'll feel relieved.
1064
01:03:08,033 --> 01:03:09,901
That's what
they want to feel.
1065
01:03:09,968 --> 01:03:11,734
Nurture that.
1066
01:03:11,801 --> 01:03:13,934
Let's do it again.
1067
01:05:06,601 --> 01:05:08,634
( band playing )
1068
01:05:17,667 --> 01:05:19,734
( indistinct chatter )
1069
01:05:36,434 --> 01:05:38,534
Sarah?
1070
01:05:38,601 --> 01:05:40,667
Mr. Wycliffe.
1071
01:05:43,400 --> 01:05:45,701
When I was a little girl,
if somebody told me
1072
01:05:45,767 --> 01:05:48,100
that I was going
to end up as a spy...
1073
01:05:49,801 --> 01:05:51,567
Oh, well.
1074
01:05:52,734 --> 01:05:55,234
Jake ordered me...
1075
01:05:55,300 --> 01:05:58,901
to cooperate
with the president.
1076
01:05:58,968 --> 01:06:02,033
That's why I told you
about the tapes.
1077
01:06:02,100 --> 01:06:04,734
You got to help us now.
1078
01:06:04,801 --> 01:06:06,601
Meaning?
1079
01:06:06,667 --> 01:06:09,167
You got to testify
to what's on those tapes.
1080
01:06:09,234 --> 01:06:11,200
Well, it won't
prove anything.
1081
01:06:11,267 --> 01:06:13,033
Arthur never said
anything incriminating.
1082
01:06:13,100 --> 01:06:15,067
No, no.
You're all we've got.
1083
01:06:15,133 --> 01:06:18,467
Well, and if the CIA
finds out what I was doing
in the Justice Department,
1084
01:06:18,534 --> 01:06:19,868
what's going
to happen to me?
1085
01:06:19,934 --> 01:06:21,500
The president promised
you will be protected.
1086
01:06:21,567 --> 01:06:23,500
No, no, no, no.
I need to think
about this.
1087
01:06:23,567 --> 01:06:26,000
Hey! You're not
listening to me.
1088
01:06:26,067 --> 01:06:28,367
You got to tell
the president what
you know now.
1089
01:06:28,434 --> 01:06:30,334
No.
1090
01:06:30,400 --> 01:06:32,801
- ( gunshot )
- ( people screaming )
1091
01:06:34,667 --> 01:06:36,367
Woman:
Oh, my God!
1092
01:06:50,868 --> 01:06:52,500
Call 911.
1093
01:07:13,300 --> 01:07:14,934
( horn blares )
1094
01:07:20,500 --> 01:07:21,968
Jean!
1095
01:07:22,033 --> 01:07:23,200
Todd!
1096
01:07:24,567 --> 01:07:26,133
Jean!
1097
01:07:26,200 --> 01:07:29,200
Todd!
Jean!
1098
01:07:29,267 --> 01:07:30,634
Mac?
What's the matter?
1099
01:07:30,701 --> 01:07:32,734
Take Todd
and go to your
mother's house.
1100
01:07:32,801 --> 01:07:34,701
- Why?
- I don't got time
to explain right now.
1101
01:07:34,767 --> 01:07:36,834
- Dad, what's going on?
- Todd, I want you to go
with your mother.
1102
01:07:36,901 --> 01:07:38,767
Take care
of your mother, okay?
I'm proud of you.
1103
01:07:38,834 --> 01:07:41,200
Let's go! Let's go!
I'm telling you,
it's not safe.
1104
01:07:41,267 --> 01:07:43,167
- ( phone rings )
- Don't answer that!
1105
01:07:43,234 --> 01:07:44,834
Hello?
1106
01:07:44,901 --> 01:07:47,467
Yes, sir.
Dad, it's General Lloyd.
1107
01:07:47,534 --> 01:07:50,267
Just go! You got to go!
I love you, but now.
1108
01:07:50,334 --> 01:07:52,133
Both of you,
you got to go now!
You got to go now.
1109
01:07:52,200 --> 01:07:54,300
Mom, where
are we going?
1110
01:07:54,367 --> 01:07:56,133
Mac:
No, you want
to talk to me,
1111
01:07:56,200 --> 01:07:58,334
you talk to me
in a public place.
1112
01:07:58,400 --> 01:08:00,000
Lloyd:
One hour, you pick it.
1113
01:08:00,067 --> 01:08:01,334
Fine.
1114
01:08:26,033 --> 01:08:28,601
Hey, don't worry.
1115
01:08:28,667 --> 01:08:31,334
Anybody asks, all I saw was
the inside of my empty desk.
1116
01:08:31,400 --> 01:08:33,334
What do you mean?
1117
01:08:33,400 --> 01:08:36,667
I've been
transferred to Hawaii,
effective immediately.
1118
01:08:36,734 --> 01:08:38,634
I put in for it
a few years ago,
1119
01:08:38,701 --> 01:08:41,000
but I never
heard anything,
now suddenly...
1120
01:08:48,000 --> 01:08:49,500
You take care, okay?
1121
01:08:49,567 --> 01:08:51,400
You, too.
1122
01:09:07,767 --> 01:09:09,834
( beeping )
1123
01:09:22,067 --> 01:09:26,000
( jet flies overhead )
1124
01:09:26,067 --> 01:09:28,534
This is symbolic.
1125
01:09:28,601 --> 01:09:30,234
We could've met
over a beer
1126
01:09:30,300 --> 01:09:32,067
like a couple
of Marines.
1127
01:09:32,133 --> 01:09:35,868
I thought it better
we meet here in front
of the Marines who died
1128
01:09:35,934 --> 01:09:38,133
defending the things
you're trying to destroy.
1129
01:09:38,200 --> 01:09:40,567
Leave the speeches
to the politicians.
1130
01:09:40,634 --> 01:09:43,000
If there'll be
any left after you.
1131
01:09:43,067 --> 01:09:45,067
( chuckles )
1132
01:09:45,133 --> 01:09:47,767
What have you been
doing, Mac?
1133
01:09:47,834 --> 01:09:49,534
I've been watching
your covert exercises.
1134
01:09:49,601 --> 01:09:52,334
It was agreed that
no one under the rank
of general would know.
1135
01:09:52,400 --> 01:09:54,300
That's why you were left
out of the discussions.
1136
01:09:54,367 --> 01:09:56,067
Potter is no general.
1137
01:09:56,133 --> 01:09:58,634
Jack Giddings
is no general.
1138
01:09:58,701 --> 01:10:00,267
You've been managed.
1139
01:10:00,334 --> 01:10:02,167
You're not going
to get what you want
1140
01:10:02,234 --> 01:10:04,000
unless Potter and Giddings
get what they want.
1141
01:10:04,067 --> 01:10:05,234
We all want
the same thing--
1142
01:10:05,300 --> 01:10:07,934
a country secure from
foreign aggression.
1143
01:10:08,000 --> 01:10:10,767
Well, we can have that
as long as we have a country
worth fighting for.
1144
01:10:10,834 --> 01:10:12,601
But who is going
to want to fight
1145
01:10:12,667 --> 01:10:14,167
for Jack Giddings
or Potter?
1146
01:10:14,234 --> 01:10:15,500
Not me.
You can count me out.
1147
01:10:15,567 --> 01:10:17,534
You would stand by
and watch
1148
01:10:17,601 --> 01:10:20,133
everything that
we fought and died for
1149
01:10:20,200 --> 01:10:24,400
betrayed by a man who
never wore a uniform?
1150
01:10:24,467 --> 01:10:27,267
He is the elected
president.
1151
01:10:27,334 --> 01:10:29,968
It will be put
to the people
1152
01:10:30,033 --> 01:10:31,968
by way of referendum.
1153
01:10:32,033 --> 01:10:33,667
We'll still be
a democracy.
1154
01:10:33,734 --> 01:10:35,734
No, it will be a scam.
1155
01:10:35,801 --> 01:10:39,934
Mac, you are
a fine soldier
and a good man,
1156
01:10:40,000 --> 01:10:42,567
but I don't want to see you
make the wrong choice.
1157
01:10:42,634 --> 01:10:44,667
You got to stop
this thing, General.
1158
01:10:44,734 --> 01:10:47,133
It's too late.
1159
01:10:47,200 --> 01:10:51,300
Power will change hands
by constitutional process.
1160
01:10:54,400 --> 01:10:57,133
Don't get caught
in the path
1161
01:10:57,200 --> 01:10:59,400
of righteous
change, son.
1162
01:11:01,167 --> 01:11:02,901
You are a traitor.
1163
01:11:08,968 --> 01:11:11,801
This conversation's
academic.
1164
01:11:11,868 --> 01:11:13,767
If you'll excuse me,
1165
01:11:13,834 --> 01:11:16,400
it's my turn to go
to the White House.
1166
01:12:03,634 --> 01:12:05,200
( gunshot )
1167
01:12:32,434 --> 01:12:34,133
( snaps )
1168
01:12:34,200 --> 01:12:36,033
( gunshot )
1169
01:12:48,133 --> 01:12:49,534
( gunshot )
1170
01:13:03,434 --> 01:13:06,334
( ticking )
1171
01:13:59,868 --> 01:14:03,133
( tires squeal )
1172
01:14:03,200 --> 01:14:05,467
( horns honking )
1173
01:14:05,534 --> 01:14:08,000
( shouting )
1174
01:14:17,601 --> 01:14:19,133
Man on bullhorn:
This is an exercise.
1175
01:14:19,200 --> 01:14:21,067
This is only an exercise.
1176
01:14:21,133 --> 01:14:23,367
Thank you
for your cooperation.
1177
01:14:23,434 --> 01:14:25,067
This is an exercise.
1178
01:14:25,133 --> 01:14:27,067
This is only an exercise.
1179
01:14:27,133 --> 01:14:29,133
Thank you
for your cooperation.
1180
01:14:35,234 --> 01:14:36,667
Mr. President.
1181
01:14:40,000 --> 01:14:41,367
It's time.
1182
01:14:41,434 --> 01:14:42,767
Bring them in.
1183
01:14:51,133 --> 01:14:52,567
Hello, Betsy.
1184
01:14:52,634 --> 01:14:55,701
Mr. Secretary.
General.
1185
01:14:55,767 --> 01:14:57,534
The president
will see you now.
1186
01:15:17,467 --> 01:15:19,801
You've had a long run,
Mr. President,
1187
01:15:19,868 --> 01:15:21,868
but it's over.
1188
01:15:21,934 --> 01:15:24,801
If you try
to stay in office now,
it will only get worse.
1189
01:15:24,868 --> 01:15:26,200
You'll be isolated.
1190
01:15:26,267 --> 01:15:28,033
And no one in Congress
1191
01:15:28,100 --> 01:15:31,901
is going to risk alienating
the voters by backing you.
1192
01:15:31,968 --> 01:15:35,434
If you have any respect
for the office,
you'll resign.
1193
01:15:38,400 --> 01:15:40,667
You are some
piece of work.
1194
01:15:40,734 --> 01:15:42,434
I'm a patriot,
Mr. President.
1195
01:15:42,500 --> 01:15:45,467
Then why the hell
don't you have any faith
in the system of government
1196
01:15:45,534 --> 01:15:48,033
you're so hell-bent
on protecting?
1197
01:15:48,100 --> 01:15:50,434
You win a mandate
at the ballot box.
1198
01:15:50,500 --> 01:15:53,467
You don't steal it
after midnight when
its back is turned.
1199
01:15:53,534 --> 01:15:55,801
This game
has been played
1200
01:15:55,868 --> 01:15:59,100
everywhere else
in the world.
1201
01:15:59,167 --> 01:16:01,234
I guess I just took it
for granted
1202
01:16:01,300 --> 01:16:03,467
that it could never
happen here.
1203
01:16:05,634 --> 01:16:08,133
I want your resignation,
Charlie.
1204
01:16:08,200 --> 01:16:10,801
Walter's,
the cabinet,
1205
01:16:10,868 --> 01:16:14,067
the joint chiefs,
every snake in the nest.
1206
01:16:14,133 --> 01:16:15,868
Including you, General.
1207
01:16:15,934 --> 01:16:17,400
Lloyd:
Why is that,
Mr. President?
1208
01:16:17,467 --> 01:16:18,901
Murder, for one.
1209
01:16:18,968 --> 01:16:20,667
That's absurd.
1210
01:16:20,734 --> 01:16:22,234
Is there anything else?
1211
01:16:22,300 --> 01:16:24,334
Treason!
1212
01:16:27,367 --> 01:16:30,167
I presume,
Mr. President,
1213
01:16:30,234 --> 01:16:33,400
you are prepared
to back up that charge.
1214
01:16:33,467 --> 01:16:35,901
I canceled
this weekend's
alert, General.
1215
01:16:35,968 --> 01:16:38,300
You have disobeyed
a direct order.
1216
01:16:38,367 --> 01:16:41,400
In addition,
you have used
defense funds
1217
01:16:41,467 --> 01:16:43,801
to plan a covert
military operation--
1218
01:16:43,868 --> 01:16:46,033
designation
Slam Dunk--
1219
01:16:46,100 --> 01:16:48,868
whose sole purpose
was to overthrow
the presidency.
1220
01:16:48,934 --> 01:16:51,734
I beg your pardon,
Mr. President,
1221
01:16:51,801 --> 01:16:54,500
but every
detail for Slam Dunk
was authorized
1222
01:16:54,567 --> 01:16:57,000
by your Secretary
of Defense here,
1223
01:16:57,067 --> 01:16:59,367
who is in the national
chain of command.
1224
01:16:59,434 --> 01:17:01,067
It seems to me,
Mr. President,
1225
01:17:01,133 --> 01:17:02,734
that I made a note
in my diary
1226
01:17:02,801 --> 01:17:05,834
the day you and I decided
to go ahead with Slam Dunk.
1227
01:17:05,901 --> 01:17:08,701
There's nothing
treasonous in that.
1228
01:17:08,767 --> 01:17:11,567
What proof do you have
that we're conspiring
1229
01:17:11,634 --> 01:17:13,601
to overthrow
the presidency?
1230
01:17:16,701 --> 01:17:19,801
I can't fire Walter,
I'm sorry to say,
1231
01:17:19,868 --> 01:17:22,467
but both of you
and the rest
of the cabinet
1232
01:17:22,534 --> 01:17:24,834
are hereby terminated
forthwith.
1233
01:17:24,901 --> 01:17:27,734
You mean, before
we sign the letter?
1234
01:17:30,834 --> 01:17:33,834
The letter's already
been sent, Will.
1235
01:17:33,901 --> 01:17:36,467
Walter's been president
for over an hour.
1236
01:17:38,200 --> 01:17:42,067
Your failures of judgment
can no longer be indulged.
1237
01:17:51,234 --> 01:17:53,801
I'll see you
in hell first.
1238
01:17:54,934 --> 01:17:56,367
That's a date.
1239
01:17:56,434 --> 01:17:57,934
I didn't think
you'd mind.
1240
01:17:59,500 --> 01:18:01,167
What have you
got, Mac?
1241
01:18:01,234 --> 01:18:02,834
We don't have much time,
Mr. President.
1242
01:18:02,901 --> 01:18:05,934
- Go ahead.
- You start calling.
1243
01:18:06,000 --> 01:18:07,868
You order back
the troops,
1244
01:18:07,934 --> 01:18:10,167
you kill the letter,
and you cancel the telecast.
1245
01:18:10,234 --> 01:18:13,067
And when you are
done calling,
1246
01:18:13,133 --> 01:18:14,968
this whole thing,
it never happened.
1247
01:18:15,033 --> 01:18:18,234
And if we don't,
what are you
going to do?
1248
01:18:18,300 --> 01:18:21,500
I'm going to confess.
1249
01:18:21,567 --> 01:18:25,033
I'm going to confess
to my complicity
in our plot.
1250
01:18:27,400 --> 01:18:30,868
To the press.
To the networks.
1251
01:18:30,934 --> 01:18:33,467
A military
plot to overthrow
the government
1252
01:18:33,534 --> 01:18:35,534
led by these gentlemen.
1253
01:18:37,667 --> 01:18:39,968
I know all the details.
1254
01:18:40,033 --> 01:18:42,300
I have a request
1255
01:18:42,367 --> 01:18:44,567
for live ammo
for Slam Dunk.
1256
01:18:44,634 --> 01:18:48,467
I will explain
how Arthur Daniels
was murdered,
1257
01:18:48,534 --> 01:18:50,901
causing his body
to be exhumed.
1258
01:18:50,968 --> 01:18:54,868
And I will confess
to the ordered murder
1259
01:18:54,934 --> 01:18:57,500
of his secretary
Sarah myself.
1260
01:18:57,567 --> 01:19:02,234
"The Post"
will find memos
1261
01:19:02,300 --> 01:19:05,567
in General Lloyd's
private code
1262
01:19:05,634 --> 01:19:08,767
tucked away in some
very interesting files.
1263
01:19:08,834 --> 01:19:11,567
There's a memo
from Lloyd to Daniels.
1264
01:19:11,634 --> 01:19:14,100
It sets up
most of the plot,
1265
01:19:14,167 --> 01:19:16,334
clear about
my involvement,
1266
01:19:16,400 --> 01:19:18,601
and, of course, yours.
1267
01:19:21,067 --> 01:19:22,667
Who's going
to believe you?
1268
01:19:22,734 --> 01:19:24,567
Nobody knows who you are.
1269
01:19:24,634 --> 01:19:26,734
You're just
another colonel.
1270
01:19:26,801 --> 01:19:28,601
Mac:
So was Oliver North.
1271
01:19:28,667 --> 01:19:31,300
People are funny.
1272
01:19:31,367 --> 01:19:34,033
They won't believe
an accusation from
the president,
1273
01:19:34,100 --> 01:19:37,734
but they'll believe
a confession from
just about anybody.
1274
01:19:47,400 --> 01:19:50,234
You'd go all the way
with this?
1275
01:19:51,601 --> 01:19:53,567
Career, family--
1276
01:19:53,634 --> 01:19:55,634
you'd lose it all.
1277
01:19:55,701 --> 01:19:57,667
I'll lose it all anyway
if you're in charge.
1278
01:20:02,067 --> 01:20:04,801
Here's what
we're going to do.
1279
01:20:04,868 --> 01:20:07,200
We're going to stagger
the resignations
1280
01:20:07,267 --> 01:20:08,701
over the next year.
1281
01:20:08,767 --> 01:20:11,534
I'm not going
to fire you.
1282
01:20:11,601 --> 01:20:13,267
Not yet.
1283
01:20:13,334 --> 01:20:15,267
First, you're going
to stand behind me
1284
01:20:15,334 --> 01:20:17,734
while I announce
the general's resignation,
1285
01:20:17,801 --> 01:20:20,000
which I want now.
1286
01:20:20,067 --> 01:20:21,868
Alert the networks,
get everything ready.
1287
01:20:21,934 --> 01:20:24,567
I want to talk
to the nation
in 10 minutes.
1288
01:20:24,634 --> 01:20:26,801
I don't propose, General,
1289
01:20:26,868 --> 01:20:28,868
that the country
ever find out
1290
01:20:28,934 --> 01:20:31,767
just how close you came
to tearing it into pieces.
1291
01:20:33,667 --> 01:20:35,133
- Mac.
- Sir.
1292
01:20:37,200 --> 01:20:38,500
Thank you.
1293
01:20:42,400 --> 01:20:44,767
Make sure the general
carries out my order.
1294
01:20:44,834 --> 01:20:46,300
Yes, sir.
1295
01:20:48,901 --> 01:20:50,100
Let's go.
1296
01:20:50,167 --> 01:20:52,300
You've got some
phone calls to make.
1297
01:20:53,400 --> 01:20:55,200
( door opens, closes )
1298
01:21:05,367 --> 01:21:08,601
Do you know who
Judas was, Colonel?
1299
01:21:08,667 --> 01:21:10,200
Yes.
1300
01:21:10,267 --> 01:21:11,634
I know who Judas was.
1301
01:21:13,133 --> 01:21:16,767
He was a man I worked for
and once respected
1302
01:21:16,834 --> 01:21:19,901
until he disgraced
the four stars
of his uniform.
1303
01:21:36,000 --> 01:21:37,968
Foster:
My fellow Americans,
1304
01:21:38,033 --> 01:21:41,033
tonight I must announce
with deep regret
1305
01:21:41,100 --> 01:21:43,400
that I have asked for
and accepted
1306
01:21:43,467 --> 01:21:46,434
the resignation
of General R. Pendleton Lloyd
1307
01:21:46,500 --> 01:21:49,200
as chairman of
the joint chiefs of staff.
1308
01:21:49,267 --> 01:21:52,567
I have the highest regard
for the general.
1309
01:21:54,067 --> 01:21:57,767
However, he recently conceded
to Secretary Potter
1310
01:21:57,834 --> 01:22:00,000
and to me
1311
01:22:00,067 --> 01:22:03,601
that our differences
are just too great
to reconcile.
1312
01:22:03,667 --> 01:22:06,234
That being the case,
1313
01:22:06,300 --> 01:22:09,667
I had no choice but to accept
his resignation.
1314
01:22:11,133 --> 01:22:13,500
In recent months,
1315
01:22:13,567 --> 01:22:16,000
there has been abroad
and in this land
1316
01:22:16,067 --> 01:22:20,567
a whisper that we have
somehow lost our greatness.
1317
01:22:20,634 --> 01:22:22,534
Well, it is not so.
1318
01:22:24,167 --> 01:22:26,567
We must not
allow ourselves
1319
01:22:26,634 --> 01:22:28,334
to be persuaded
1320
01:22:28,400 --> 01:22:30,834
to exchange our liberties
1321
01:22:30,901 --> 01:22:33,334
for anyone else's order.
1322
01:22:34,868 --> 01:22:36,701
We must not be dismayed
1323
01:22:36,767 --> 01:22:39,300
if democracy,
even in crisis,
1324
01:22:39,367 --> 01:22:42,868
is an untidy form
of government.
1325
01:22:42,934 --> 01:22:44,868
We are united
1326
01:22:44,934 --> 01:22:48,067
in remaining strong
and proud,
1327
01:22:48,133 --> 01:22:49,767
peaceful,
1328
01:22:49,834 --> 01:22:52,267
and committed
to laying down our lives
1329
01:22:52,334 --> 01:22:55,601
for our way of life
if need be.
1330
01:22:55,667 --> 01:22:56,834
Thank you.
1331
01:22:58,467 --> 01:23:00,334
Good night
1332
01:23:00,400 --> 01:23:03,133
and God bless you.
1333
01:23:03,200 --> 01:23:06,467
And God bless
the United States of America.
1334
01:23:06,534 --> 01:23:08,500
( music playing )
