He's not reciting the speech anymore.

MARSHALL:

What we did here was important. We

finally pulled our heads out of the

sand, we finally stood up to the

brutality and said "We've had enough.

Every time we ignore these atrocities--

the rapes, the death squads, the

genocides- every time we negotiate

with these, these thugs to keep them

out of gig country and away from gig

families, every time we do thiS.E.

we legitimize terror.

Terror is not a legitimate system of government. And to

those who commit the atrocities I say, we will no longer

tolerate, we will no longer negotiate, and we will no longer

be afraid. It's your turn to be afraid.

Applause rolls through the crowd.

EXT. MOSCOW INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT - NIGHT

Sprawling terminals spread out to runways like tentacles.

ON THE TARMAC -

Bathed in floodlights, perched majestically on the runway,

dwarfing nearby commuter and military jets, stands...

AIR FORCE ONE:

The President's own Boeing 747-200,

dubbed "the flying White House".

The distinctive royal blue stripe

over a thin gold line tapers to a

tail adorned with the American flag

and the Presidential Seal Secret

Service agents and Marines stand

guard at the aircraft's perimeter.

A RUSSIAN NEWS VAN emerges from the darkness and pulls to a

stop by a Secret Service barricade.

SPECIAL AGENT GIBBS greets the Russian news team that emerges.

GIBBS:

Gentlemen, welcome to Air Force One.

Please present your equipment to Special Agent Walters for

inspection.

The news team's segment producer, a crusty old Russian named

KORSHUNOV raises his big bushy eyebrows.

KORSHUNOV:

We've already been inspected.
