You're wrong, Ryback. You're wrong.

- They were party poppers.

- You got sh*t for brains.

I know they brainwashed you,

but you have to question authority.

Trust me, boy.

That's gunfire.

Free me and I'll take care of it.

I'll be relieved in a few minutes,

so just shut up and sit tight.

Something's going on.

Use your head this time.

Do what you got to do. Let me out.

Or when I'm out,

I'll shoot you myself.

Commander Krill?

Is that you?

Get your hands on your head.

Turn around.

Get down on your knees.

Cross your ankles.

Where's the cook?

In the reefer.

Which one?

Son of a b*tch!

We've got an F-18.

They sent an F-18

to look for the chopper.

Heading 315 miles, speed 430,

approximately 8000.

430. 5000 now, into descent.

We're going down now.

Looks like one helo on deck.

Going in for a closer look.

31 to Missouri, over.

Goodbye!

Are you tracking me?

Negative.

He's locked me up! Mayday.

Welcome to the revolution.

Better call the office.

You're in deep kimchi, buddy.

Better have it all

in one sock for this one.

Claims he was a company man

who worked for you.

What's his name?

William Strannix.

Jesus Christ!

Not good.

Not good.

Mr. Breaker...

...you better be candid

with us here tonight.

We need answers,

and we need them now.

Gentlemen, if any ships or aircraft

approach within 100 miles...

... we will kill the crew and

retaliate using the ship's arsenal.

Bill, this is Tom. What's going on?

I have 32 Tomahawks under my thumb...

...and all you can do

is alert the media.

You don't have the launch codes.

Let me guess.

"5-6-6-0-4-9-9-7-8-0?"

This is insane.

Be careful with that word, Tom.

This is Admiral Bates speaking.

Tell us why you're doing this.

Hi, Admiral!

Six months ago, Tom Breaker

canceled Operation Cleopatra.

Shortly thereafter, two young men

from Langley tried to cancel me.

Didn't you receive each man's

forefinger in the mail?

Yes.

Did you expect us

to wait for you to try again?

I know things are a little...

...chaotic for you right now.

- Chaotic!

Wake up!

You and I know that chaos and

bedlam are consuming the entire world.

UV rays are only the beginning.

We have an inch of topsoil left.

Topsoil?

Sexually transmitted diseases,

depletion of the gene pool.

It adds up to oblivion.

Governments will fall.

Anarchy will reign.

It's a brave new world.

What are you planning to do?

Do you realize that whatever I do

is inevitable? Can we agree on that?

Not necessarily.

There you go.

You can't argue with me

or negotiate or attempt a ploy.

You have to reconsider your philosophy.

All right, I'm sorry.

Whatever you decide to do is inevitable.

Look at my life.

The life you tried to take.
