idea now and then...

...even Clarence.

- Now look, Felix...

Mom, Dad.

This way! Quick!

They killed my mom and my dad!

Yes, sir. Yes, sir.

We'll do the best we can, sir,

and thank you, sir.

General Thompson coming on-screen.

Dr. Crane, your credentials

have been authenticated.

Nothing more?

While I confess to being surprised...

... but the president has placed

you in direct command...

... of all operations relating

to this emergency.

What are the limits to my authority?

- None. General Slater.

- Yes, sir.

You will provide full cooperation.

You will give him equipment, whatever

facilities and manpower he needs.

All this is to be made available

to him without question.

- Without question, sir?

- Affirmative.

- Dr. Crane.

- Yes.

The president's adviser,

Dr. Connors...

... told me he'll be calling

you within an hour...

... and I'd like to join

in wishing you good luck.

Thank you.

Major, when you checked

the nonlethal equipment in my van...

...did you come across

a beat-up briefcase?

- Yes, sir.

- Are you familiar with its contents?

Yes, sir. An inventory of the contents

is in the process of being typed.

Correction, sir. Was being typed.

Thank you. I want the particular file

that I marked "Personnel"...

...to give to General Slater.

- Yes, sir.

While you're about it,

could I have my leather pouch?

- The one with the sunflower seeds.

- Sergeant...

...would you get the items

he requested?

The file contains names, addresses

and numbers of everyone I want.

Just tell them the war I've always

talked about has finally started.

- That's all? They'll drop everything?

- I'm counting on it.

- Anything else?

- Yes. In that briefcase...

...there is a list of equipment. Get

the Pentagon's top procurement man...

...and get everything on that

list not later than tomorrow.

Why here?

Because we're setting up here, general.

Time is the one thing we're short on.

Now, I want to talk

to the survivors, please.

- Take Dr. Crane to Captain Anderson.

- Yes, sir. Come with me.

Yes.

Brother.

Major...

...I believe you were an investigative

officer in Intelligence, right?

That's correct, sir.

Okay, I'm assigning you

to this Dr. Crane...

...as his personal military liaison.

Watch every move he makes.

Build me a dossier on him.

I can't believe he just happened

to be here at the moment...

...a swarm of bees hit this complex...

...and that he'd already prepared

with such remarkable foresight...

...a list of personnel and equipment

to be flown in here.

It does seem strange, sir.

- Stay with the son of a b*tch.

- Yes, sir.

This man is the most stable,

but his heart rate is still 120.
