- You sure it's the Russians?
- 100%, sir.
Submarine launched 12 to 15 megatons.
They went to strike status 15 minutes prior
CINC-LANT reports he Roosevelt
splashed six incoming cruise missiles
The Russians are moving west through Polland
If they head for Germany, they got Berlin brigade
but they are outnumbered.
Sir, we've got a launch from Alyesk,
Central Russia.
What the hell is in Alyesk?
SS-18 ICBMs. Probable targets:
New York, Washington, here.
- How good is this ceiling?
Satellites confirm birds in the air,
first impact estimated 25 minutes.
- Is that accurate?
- It's accurate.
- Sir, I advise we go to DEFCON-1.
- Get President Zorkin on the hotline.
Zorkin is missing. We have reports
of a coup in Moscow.
General Bulgakov
Who the hell is Bulgakov?
The asshole who wanted
to use nukes in Chechnya.
Sir, DEFCON-1. We're out of time.
Do it.
Mr President.
It'll take a minute for the launch
to process after you give the order.
Before the order can be taken,
an ID check must be performed.
My ID number is fifth from the top.
- Sir, it's your wife on 2104.
- Thank you.
- Yeah.
- The order must be confirmed
- By someone on the approved list.
- Shit.
Gene Revell,
National Security Advisor.
Is it black tie? OK. I'm on my way.
Can we...
...finish this up some other time?
No.
We've got to update these fire drills,
Billy.
If the shit ever hits the fan,
I'm not going underground.
It's a goddamn tomb down there.
We have to choose someone else to
face off against besides the Russians.
Really? Let's see. Who else has
It's the guy with one I'm worried about.
I have to send some folks to Russia,
inspect their nuclear decommissioning
facility at Armazas.
- Arzamas.
- Yeah, whatever.
- Someone from your staff should go.
- I'll go.
- Billy, send staff.
- I want to go.
OK.
Don't underestimate Zorkin. Between
his economy, crime, Chechnya...
- His liver.
- What's left of it. How is he?
He's scheduled a press conference
for today, so we know he can sit up.
Chechnya is part of Russia.
Only criminals and their friends
in the West who wish it to be separate.
Mr President, if you will kindly
come back...
Do you guys see what I see?
- His jacket?
- He used to be able to button it up.
He's getting fat.
I know how he feels.
Oh, wow. Look at that.
Maybe it's not the same jacket.
Yeah, it has shiny sleeves. He wore it
the last time he got out of the hospital.
- He's off the diet.
- And off the wagon. He slurred...
That must be why Cherlinski is there,
to keep him off the sauce.
Where's Cherlinski?
Next to... What's her name?
The chick with the brown hair.
- Elena Rishkov.
- That is not Cherlinski.
Bzz! Busted. It's Cherlinski.
You're thinking Cherpitski. It ain't him.
- I know. It's Cherlinski.
- No, it's not. Trust me.
He's next to Elena Rishkov. He was
banging her at the Geneva summit.
Cherlinski was not at Geneva.
Cherpitski was.
Cherpitski was banging Elena Rishkov?
I just said Zorkin's putting on weight.
Why reduce it to sex? It's disgusting.
I agree. Write it up.
If he is putting on weight,
that might have health consequences,
so get it in the afternoon brief.
Oh, and somebody find out who is
banging Elena Rishkov. This is good.
What shall we make of Chechnya
asking the West for protection?
She is like a beautiful virgin, escaping
the clutches of a lecherous bear,
and running to Bill Clinton
to save her maidenhood.
A poet once wrote, "Meet the new
boss, same as the old boss."
