Move! Let's go!

Care for a Coke or something?

Two gunships just left McMurran,

headed this way.

Oh, wonderful!

- Don't worry about them.

- I worry.

What about the other pilot?

We saw him eject.

Hah!

Captain Hale...

Well, I seriously doubt he's alive.

I punched him out

when we were scraping the valley floor.

A park ranger called in a report.

She saw a pilot come down

and was gonna look for him.

Find her.

- I got it!

- (rapidbleeping)

Hello! McMurran, come in!

Go, Max.

McMurran, come in. Over.

- (static)

- McMurran!

Max, are you there?

- McMurran?

- Max!

McMurran, come in!

(machine-gun fire)

Move!

Gonna open up the access panels.

Gonna drop in a couple of grenades.

It won't go nuclear,

but it will destroy the bomb.

And who's ever trying to steal it.

I'm afraid I can't let you do that, Chief.

And why not?

All clear!

- Where is this truck ofyours?

- Just around the bend.

- How did you find me?

- Saw your chute.

Don't step on that stuff!

There, on that black stuff!

- What is it?

- It's cryptogamic soil. Very fragile.

One footprint takes centuries to repair.

- Oh...

- Come on, jump.

I thought it was a mine or something.

Endangered dirt. That's a new one.

(buzzing)

Colonel Wilkins! This is Airman Kelly, sir!

- Go.

- ChiefRhodes is dead!

They're all dead!

What the hell happened?

What the hell happened!

(razor buzzes)

It's the nuke! It's open!

It's wide open!

Kelly! Come in!

What happened?

Oh, God!

What am I gonna do!

- Whoo!

- (laughs)

Recall Search and Rescue.

Get me Washington.

I want NEST on this right now.

- You missed your calling, boy!

- Hell, Deak! leven bought it!

Make sure you get Hale! Go!

There are still two attack helicopters

headed this way!

Not any more!

They've just been recalled!

I'll check further ahead!

That's where they're headed!

Get to work!

You see, Mr Pritchett,

they believe they've got an exposed core...

..and that changes things remarkably.

Cos it wouldn't be right to just send people

into an active radiation area.

First you have to take a picture

from a satellite.

It takes about an hour and a half

just to change orbit.

Then they gotta send in a NEST.

That's a Nuclear Emergency Search Team.

Closest one is about two hours from here.

So, by the time they find us, we'll be gone!

So relax!

- Think your radio can reach McMurran?

- Clyde will patch us through.

We can get your people in here,

then I can go home and feed my dog.

Clyde, this is Terry. Do you read me?

Hello, Clyde. This is Terry.

Do you read me?

- Why are they shooting at us?

- No time to discuss it right now.

Come on!

Let's have some fun!
