Under Siege 2: Dark Territory Page #5

Synopsis: Seal Team Commander Casey Ryback has retired from the Navy since the conclusion of the events in the first movie, and is now a chef at the Mile High Cafe in Denver, Colorado. Ryback is taking his niece Sarah Ryback on vacation, to reconnect and commiserate with her after the death of her parents. They board a train traveling westbound through the Rocky Mountains from Denver to LA. With the help of gun-for-hire Marcus Penn a couple dozen of his mercenaries, ex-CIA brain (and mentally unstable) Travis Dane commandeers the train, takes the passengers and crew hostage, and sets up a mobile control center. He hacks into the CIA database and gains control of a Top-Secret defence satellite he designed during his Agency days that has just been deployed. Funded by various foreign interests, he stands to make 1 billion dollars for using the space weapon to blow up the Eastern seaboard by targeting a nuclear reactor housed beneath the Pentagon.

You touch me again, that's your ass.

Targeting codes.

- They've started our sequence.

- It's arming.

This is nuts. There's gotta be

some kind of malfunction.

It's being controlled elsewhere.

Oh, Jesus, the target's mainland China.

Not China!

Not somebody nuclear.

What's going on?

Sweet Jesus!

She's into acquisition mode.

Somebody shut it down!

They fired me. Took everything.

She's powering up for a hit.

Said the technology wasn't essential.

Blow it! Shut it down!

No response.

They wanted it? They'll get it!

That's what Dane used to say.

Call Admiral Bates at the Pentagon.

Admiral Bates is here in Colorado

attending an air show.

Then get him here, now.

Gentlemen, as you can see, it works.

This is a one-time offer.

Two hundred feet below the Pentagon

is an itty-bitty crack...

...which I propose to make

great, big and wide.

Directly above it

is a strike-hard nuclear reactor.

It ain't hard enough.

We'll take out the Pentagon...

...and, God, Allah...

...and the winds willing...

...Washington and most of

the Eastern seaboard as well.

The fee:

One billion dollars.

A billion dollars.

I owe people money.

Oh, sh*t.

- What is this place?

- Here we go.

I don't know, nor does Congress.

What the hell is going on?

Don't say this is a weather station.

Bring the rendering up.

Recently we deployed

a particle beam weapon into orbit.

In English, please.

It's a major cash cow. Particle beam

technology, it's the earthquake deal.

It's my understanding

we shut that program down.

We financed it.

Breaker, what...?

This goddamn thing works now?

It works so effectively...

...that if we targeted the Los Angeles

fault lines, in 15 seconds...

...Arizona would be beachfront property.

The problem is, someone else

is commanding the satellite.

We couldn't find it or destroy it...

...so we were unable to stop it.

Oh, my God!

China's earthquake?

We have full deniability.

- Holy sh*t!

- That's typical.

Typical Agency bullshit!

Do you know who we're dealing with?

We think it's Travis Dane,

the guy who designed the system.

- One of our people?

- Not anymore.

He was decommissioned.

Last month he was an apparent suicide.

He's brilliant. He can do anything

he puts his mind to, but he's crazy.

Why would you hire a maniac?

Because...

...sane people do not build

weapons like this.

You'd think we'd learn from that.

All right, we're upgrading to Code 3.

Gentlemen, let's find the satellite,

and let's find the son of a b*tch now!

No power.

Cover and conceal.

You know about that, right?

You know about that, right?

One of our customers has

a personal favor to ask.

He wants you to blow up an airplane.
