Executive Decision Page #3

We've had six hookups,

all successful.

This is a civilian airliner.

Mr. Cahill. . .

...do you mean Remora could work

with a 747?

This application was never

intended for a civilian airliner.

However, smooth-surface mating tests...

... were successful in a wind tunnel.

A wind tunnel.

I know you wrote the book on

assaulting hijacked aircraft.

But this is 5 miles above Earth.

Under the circumstances,

we don't have any other options.

It's your call.

We must be airborne in an hour,

six men. I'll need Mr. Cahill. . .

... to supervise the linkup.

Mr. Cahill...

... you and the Remora

be ready in an hour.

The press is in a feeding

frenzy about the hijacking.

Especially with Senator Mavros

on board.

Not a word of this operation

is to go beyond this room.

Anything you need, name it.

We'll need all the on-site intel

we can get.

I think Mr. Grant could

provide us with a great advantage.

And I'd just love to

have him come along.

You ready to take a plane ride. . .

. . .in the interest of national security?

Of course.

Check it out. It's the colonel.

Didn't have details on the op. . .

. . .so we brought everything,

even condoms!

Who's this? 007?

That's Mr. Grant, with lntelligence.

He'll travel with us partway.

Partway?

I'll explain on the bird.

Let's go!

So where's the 1 30?

Sergeant Baker. . .

. . .I reckon that's it.

You're joking, right?

Too much gear.

We won't get off the ground.

Break it down, boys.

Close-quarter weapons. . .

. . .com units, ordinance,

sleep agent. Dump the rest.

Andrews ground, Remora,

hangar three, taxi for takeoff.

It's all hooked up.

Oh, God.

Allison's been gone a long time.

They wouldn't leave her

there alone. Something's wrong.

Let's go through this.

Baker, set up the com link

with the plane and the Pentagon.

-Grant monitors.

-But I stay here?

That's correct.

The Remora will refuel in flight,

then trail the 747.

You'll be in video and

audio contact with us.

Your assessment

of Nagi's behavior is essential.

I'll do what I can.

Once we find the bad guys. . .

. . .we'll look for the DZ-5.

If we find it, you'll tap

into the oxygen supply. . .

. . .with the sleep agent.

Lights out. We take the bird.

Once we've taken control,

we'll divert.

Any problems, any questions?

Greenland's our best bet.

If the bomb has a short fuse. . .

. . .then my ass'll rain over Greenland?

I don't think so.

That's why I get the big bucks.

For what?

To save your ass.

That's what I want to hear.

The safehouse in Trieste. . .

. . .that was your intel.

The nerve gas was there, Colonel.

Operation was late.

If you say so.

I hope your averages improve.

If you don't believe me. . .
