my command centre right here.

- I want Coms up.

- Roger that, sir.

Put the satellite over there.

I wanna be up at 1600.

Let's move it.

- Systems up.

- Possible penetration point

in the shower room.

- We're setting anti-intrusion.

- I brought a personal touch, sir.

It's an anti-motion trembler

device. It's custom-made.

Nobody knows about it

and nobody expects it.

- What's it do?

- We head-fake 'em with the laser beam.

And then if they disturb

Mr Backup here, we own 'em.

Ladies and gentlemen,

you're being detained against your will.

For that, I apologize.

It is not our intention

in any way to harm you.

You will not be detained one

minute longer than is necessary

for us to complete our mission.

Attention on deck!

Stand easy, men.

Make no mistake about it,

gentlemen, we are now in harm's way.

For Major Baxter and I,

this is the last campaign in

a career datin' back to Tet '68.

Likewise for Captain Hendrix,

Gunnery Sergeant Crisp,

who cut their teeth under

my command in Desert Storm.

Captain Frye, Captain Darrow,

this is my first operational

situation with you and your men.

And I have to say, thus far your conduct

reflects your reputations.

- Thank you, General.

- Thank you, sir.

We have achieved our position

through poise, precision and audacity.

To this

we must now add resolve.

We'll be branded as traitors,

the gravest capital crime.

Punishable by death.

A couple hundred years ago,

a few guys named Washington,

Jefferson and Adams...

were branded as traitors

by the British.

And now

they're called patriots.

In time, so shall we.

God willing,

in less than 48 hours...

you will evacuate this island

in gunships under cover of

hostages and V.X. Gas warheads.

Your destination: A

non-extradition treaty country.

You will each be paid a fee

of $ 1 million for services rendered.

But you can never again

set foot on your native soil.

- Can you live with that?

- Yes, sir!

The men of

Marine Force Recon...

are selected to carry out

illegal operations throughout the world.

When they don't come home,

their families are told fairy tales

about what happened to them...

and denied compensation.

Well, I have choked

on these lies my entire career!

Well, here and now

the lies stop!

God be with all of you.

Man your positions, men.

This is FBI Director Womack.

Director, be advised.

Eighty-one,

I say again,

my control as of this moment.

You are to take measures to assure this

remains a need-to-know classified fact.

Who is this?

Mr Director, you have

a very serious problem.

A battery of V.X. Gas rockets

is presently deployed...

to deliver a highly

lethal strike on the population
