JORDAN:

North Korean beaches are the best

protected, most heavily monitored in

the world. The civilian population

is so propagandized that it acts as

an Early Warning system. Extraction

team has to be small and silent --

I'd go with Seals over Delta Force.

Problem is, don't want to hold a

conventional sub off-shore for

target practice. Where's The Polk?

INTERCUTTING:

ROYCE:

Halfway 'round the world. So that's

the problem -- we can get the team

in, just not out.

JORDAN:

(an inspired beat)

Unless you Whiskey Run.

ROYCE:

Blank faces here, O'Neil.

JORDAN:

Quick-hit technique used by Capone.

Rigged a getaway car with running

boards and handles. All his guys

had to do was jump on and take a

ride. Check the files -- DPRK-57 --

I doped it out as a contingency

plan:
Seal Team infiltrates, picks

up the package, links up with

recovery sub. But don't waste time

opening and closing hatches. They

just grab the periscope and hang on

for neutral waters.

A dubious beat.

ROYCE:

You expect the extraction team to

ride the sub bare-back? Is that

correct, O'Neil?

JORDAN:

Only four minutes to neutral waters,

sir. Why not?

Silence on the radio: They're discussing her scenario

privately. During, Jordan's kayak reaches the junction of

the Potomac and the Anacostia rivers. On the far bank

lies...

Naval Intel Center (N.I.C.), bristling with communication

antennae.

Jordan stares at the complex, waiting for a response.

ROYCE:

All right, sending the

recommendation across the river.

Royce out.

The phone goes dead.

JORDAN:

No, thank you, sir.

EXT. SECURITY STATION - N.I.C. - DAY

Bundled in topcoat and scarves, military and civilian

employees transit a security station on their way inside.

Presently Jordan appears -- wearing a wetsuit and

balancing a collapsed kayak on her head. She flashes a

photo-badge and double-times inside.

INT. CORRIDOR - N.I.C. - DAY

Jordan exits a locker room. Smoothing out her Khaki

uniform, she heads down a broad corridor with cipher-lock

doors. Falling in step:

ROYCE:

That was good headwork, lieutenant.

JORDAN:

Thank you, sir. We hear back from

the Pentagon?

ROYCE:

(scoffing)

Probably hear back from CNN first.

JORDAN:

Hate this part. Just sweating it

out on the sidelines.

ROYCE:

Intel has its own glory, lieutenant

-- no matter how subtle.

Now they reach...

INT. BULLPEN - N.I.C. - DAY

A circular chamber. Dominating the ground floor is the

bullpen, a hive of cubicles an computer stations. On the

second floor are executive offices, ringing the bullpen.

ROYCE:

By the way, I'll need that option

paper by 11-hundred today so I can

review it with Admiral Hanover. And

do we have any of that breakfast tea

around here?
