- You okay?

- Yeah.

Gimme your gun.

Come on!

(gun clicks)

- You have any more bullets?

- Yeah.

We need to get out ofthis canyon.

We can get out up that way.

If that bastard would just hold still...

I have an idea!

Wait! I didn't mean...

Oh, sh*t...

Don't shoot!

- Where is he?

- I don't know!

Oh, no!

Go, go, go!

(Pritchett) Holy sh*t!

Novacek must have hit a canyon wall.

- Do you think?

- Maybe.

Maybe?

You said you'd planned this thing carefully!

How are we going to move those things now?

(Deakins) Use the trucks.

The trucks now!

You listen to me...

I've spent a lot of money underwriting this,

and frankly,...

..you're beginning to shake my confidence!

Mm-hm... mm-hm... Well...

Yeah, well, I uh...

I do appreciate the money...

..that you and your associates

have invested in this operation.

But it is an operation,

a military operation,...

..and you don't know dick about that.

I've been in the military for 20 years.

I planned and flew

over 100 missions in the Gulf.

These boys are motivated

and they are highly trained, like me.

This is what I do, Mr Pritchett.

This is battle,

and battle is a highly fluid situation.

You... plan on your contingencies, and I have.

You keep your initiative, and I will.

But you don't share command.

It's never a good idea.

It's still my money.

And ifwe succeed,

you and your friends will get a ton of it.

Ifwe're successful?

Look, Mr Pritchett, I will deliver

the weapons to the destination.

But I can't guarantee...

..that the a**holes in Washington

won't do something stupid,...

..like... not pay.

What ifthey don't?

Well, ifthey don't,...

..the Southwest

will be a quiet neighbourhood...

..for about 10,000 years.

- (phone)

- Wilkins.

Fax me their last transmission.

How much radiation is out there?

- Fax that to Mr Prentice.

- Yes, sir.

- So far we're not picking up any.

- Well, that's strange, isn't it?

I mean,... with an exposed core?

Well, I'd call it good news.

The breach may not be so bad.

Colonel,...

What ifthis wasn'tan accident?

What are you saying, Giles?

In his final transmission,

Major Deakins said Captain Hale lostit.

We allassume that to mean...

..pilot error or equipment failure.

But...

..what if he meant...

- ..Hale intentionallylost the plane?

- Why would he do that?

Two nuclear weapons

would be worth a lot ofmoney.

To who, son?

There are easier ways

to buy nuclear weapons.

The old Soviet republics will sell you

a couple for the price of a BMW.

Sir,...

..l meant how much

would they be worth to us.

How much would we pay

to get them back?

Hold on.

These nukes have codes or something

to stop people using them.

Of course.
