There was Annapolis, Vietnam, so on.

I missed the 60s,

and I believe if I had been there...

...to contribute,

everything would've been fine.

Bill, if this is about reliving

the 60s, you can forget it.

The movement is dead.

Hence the name.

It moves a certain distance,

then it stops.

Revolution gets its name by always

coming back around in your face.

You tried to kill me,

you son of a b*tch.

So welcome to the revolution.

There's more to follow.

I'll stay in touch.

He's flipped.

He's completely flipped.

I want a list of everything

on that ship.

General, here's what we know.

The threat is verifiable. It is real.

I repeat, it is real.

Sh*t! You son of a b*tch.

Think they believe you?

They believe I'm crazy, paranoid

or something.

I have a harpoon locked on.

Fire when ready.

Pipe down, men!

Pipe down.

Missile away.

Missile away.

Oh, boy.

Oh, boy, oh, boy.

Bang! You're dead.

- He's taken out satellite relay.

- What doesn't he want us to see?

He wants to blind us.

It's illogical. We can

follow his movement from Pearl.

You can vector an AWACS.

- Or send E-2C from Nimitz.

- Do it.

Wake up the President.

Bring it in.

Keep it coming in.

Cut it fast.

Time is money on this deal.

- They better be competent.

- Get your ass up there!

Watch your heads.

Glad I sent you the blueprints.

I have 4 sections this way,

I'll have it cut and up in an hour.

Time is money, on this job!

Time is money.

This will cut them to the bone.

Right to the bone.

What's that noise?

That's my beloved crew.

Keep trying. Keep pounding.

Someone will hear us.

Shut the music off.

What the hell's going on?

What happened to them?

- Who are you and why are you here?

- My name is Jordan Tate.

I'm Miss July '89.

I was hired to jump

out of the cake...

...but I got airsick

on the way here and so...

...this guy gave me these pills.

- I guess I fell asleep.

- What kind of bullshit is this!

I am an actress, okay?

I did a Hunter episode

and a Wet 'n Wild video.

My agent said I was

going to jump out of the cake.

How many on the chopper?

I don't know.

It was full.

There was a band and caterers.

Where's the crew?

I don't know. I didn't see anything.

You didn't see or hear anything

and don't remember anything?

I've done stupid things in my life...

...but believe me,

I don't know anything.

All right, I believe you.

So who are you? Are you

a special forces guy or something?

I'm just a cook.

A cook?

Just a lowly, lowly cook.

My God, we're going to die.

The ship contains 40,000 rounds

of 20mm CWIZ.

Over 100016-inch projectiles.

We believe there's 15 harpoon

cruise missiles still aboard...

...and 32 Tomahawks.
