What kind of Tomahawks?

It's all right. It's okay.

Eight of them are specials.

Nuclear-tipped. 220 kilotons each.

Mr. Breaker, would you explain how

this nut could hold a top position...

...in an intelligence agency?

Would you answer that?

High-level covert operatives

like Strannix are under great stress.

They're creative thinkers

who, by their very nature...

Tom trains everyone

in the CIA who's crazy.

All we want to know

is how he got our battleship.

That's his specialty.

North Korea was refitting a sub

to fire antiship missiles...

...so we sent Strannix in.

You've been financing

this maniac's private army?

You didn't think

it might be a problem?

Once we realized we'd

lost positive control...

...we tried to neutralize him.

We missed.

Excuse me.

This North Korean sub...

How do you know he sunk it?

Oh, we're positive he sunk it.

Positive.

Roadrunner to Tweety Bird.

Do you read me? Come in.

Tweety Bird to Roadrunner.

We're nearby.

- How's it going?

- Sub's up.

- It's all rock and roll to me.

- Any sign of Wile E. Coyote?

No. Meet at the birdcage.

Roadrunner out.

You're the Roadrunner?

Never been caught.

Problem. Cates and Ziggs are missing.

I radioed them repeatedly.

No response.

- The last location?

- The galley.

I told you to send more men.

I told you.

Please don't leave me here alone.

Believe me, this is the safest place

you can be. Understand?

Let me out of here!

Let me out!

Do you understand what'll happen

if anybody hears you?

They'll try to kill us.

Now be quiet.

I hate being alone.

Do you hate being dead?

Clear!

Put those on.

You're coming with me,

you got to be invisible.

If you're by a hatch and see the enemy,

you become the hatch.

I'm giving you this rifle

with a selector switch on it.

One is fully automatic,

one is semiautomatic.

The definition of semiautomatic is,

when you depress the trigger...

...one round will go off.

That's what I want to give you.

Spend one round at a time.

Turn on the lights.

Check the breaker box.

It's happened before.

Man who did this is a professional.

- Who is he and why is he on my ship?

- Your ship?

You wouldn't be on this battleship

if not for me.

He's a cook, plain and simple.

- A cook didn't do this.

- He came with the captain.

I know his routine front and back.

He's good with cooking knives.

Cooking knives!

He got lucky.

In my professional opinion,

he is a military reject...

...in command of a galley.

Get down!

- What was that?

- A bomb, jackass.

He used the microwave as a detonator.

Secure everything

between here and the CIC.

You see anything, radio at once

for backup. Understand?

Put these fires out!
