00:00:00Top story is the unprecedented criticism of President Foster by the veteran chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Lloyd, at the National Press Club yesterday.
00:00:20Well, let's just say that on this issue, President Foster and I have agreed to disagree.
00:00:26General Lloyd stated that the President's lack of support of the military would leave the country vulnerable and crippled at this time of high global uncertainty.
00:00:35The President wants to shrink the armed forces and draw this peace dividend into his domestic program. The General believes there is no peace dividend.
00:00:44So what's the program today?
00:00:47Polish the doorknobs, cut the grass and wash Mom's car.
00:00:54Into your room? No TV. Now go change your clothes.
00:01:00Sir.
00:01:06Why is everything always in order?
00:01:09He knows what he did.
00:01:12Can't look at problems with it. First.
00:01:14Max is 13. He was born into this family. He didn't enlist.
00:01:18Todd!
00:01:20You handled yourself properly today. Watch the game together tomorrow.
00:01:25Orlando's gonna win it for a zip.
00:01:28No way. Nicks are gonna take it. Character!
00:01:32Okay?
00:01:34Okay. See you later.
00:01:36All right. Love you.
00:01:38Mr. Secretary, with all due respect, we're not the only ones questioning the President's indecision. The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff publicly criticized the President for not signing the bill.
00:01:54As far as General Lloyd's remarks go, you in the media have taken his agreement to disagree with the President out of context.
00:02:14Or, uh...
00:02:16Question for today.
00:02:17ülk
00:02:38multiple
00:02:43Good morning, Billy.
00:03:09Good morning, Colonel.
00:03:11Situation normal?
00:03:13Uh, we lost another one of Bolivia last night.
00:03:16Coke patrol.
00:03:18Any friendly casualties?
00:03:20Goodness, no.
00:03:21That wouldn't be nice.
00:03:24Bolivia's fine.
00:03:25The Knicks got their back against the wall.
00:03:27They need me.
00:03:28Hey, who's the old man like?
00:03:30Not into it.
00:03:32Negative?
00:03:33He's into it big time.
00:03:34I'm sorry.
00:03:36Where did you start?
00:03:37A little short on grand power.
00:03:39No, I...
00:03:40All right, thank you.
00:03:42I'll take your...
00:03:45I'll see the naval operation.
00:03:47Call on slam dunk.
00:03:48Call bets in by 8 p.m. Saturday.
00:03:50He's got a betting pool on the finals.
00:03:52Thinks it'll go till then.
00:03:54He's been sending stuff out all week under his own personal code.
00:03:56Blue six code?
00:03:57You're caught plugging into the old man's code.
00:03:59You know what's gonna happen to you.
00:04:00I see who he's got sharing his action.
00:04:02Cross down at Tampa.
00:04:03Jacobs at Norad.
00:04:04Allen down at Fort Benning.
00:04:06Mucho brass.
00:04:07Looks like everybody's already in it.
00:04:09Has he said anything about it to you?
00:04:11To me?
00:04:12You can ask him about it, though.
00:04:13He wants to see it.
00:04:15What, he's here?
00:04:16On a Sunday?
00:04:17Yeah, bookie's best day.
00:04:19Smile today.
00:04:19You wanted to see me, sir?
00:04:30Sit down, Mac.
00:04:32Days like this that I wish I never accepted this lousy job.
00:04:36The only problem is...
00:04:38I can't bear the thought of anyone else having it.
00:04:41Intel is the president losing you out first.
00:04:43Is that the Intel?
00:04:45Well, we'll know next Tuesday, my day on the carpet.
00:04:49Ah, you think?
00:04:51You better cut my big mouth shut.
00:04:53Spoke up.
00:04:54Straight, honest.
00:04:55It's time somebody did.
00:04:56You want me to play?
00:04:57Hmm?
00:04:58Commander-in-chief?
00:04:59I don't think it's perceived as an attack, sir.
00:05:02The president may be a good man, but he doesn't know shit about national defense.
00:05:07At least when his wife was alive, he had a reality barometer.
00:05:10The way things were going election day, nobody bothered to ask him about it.
00:05:14Here.
00:05:15You know, I used to know who my enemies were.
00:05:18Who'd have guessed five years ago that Iran and Iraq would be allies?
00:05:22The next fight in the Middle East.
00:05:25It's going to make the Gulf War look like a family picnic.
00:05:29And when it comes, we won't be ready.
00:05:32Look at us.
00:05:33We're cops.
00:05:35We're builders.
00:05:35We're health care providers.
00:05:38Worst of all, we're politicians.
00:05:43Sucks.
00:05:43Hell, that's not mince words.
00:05:47It's what my son always says about everything.
00:05:52Hank, last couple of weeks, you've been kind of tense.
00:05:59You're not uptight about the alert this weekend, are you?
00:06:03No.
00:06:04It's Todd.
00:06:06He's 13.
00:06:08He's working at an appliance store, Kramer's.
00:06:11He stole eight video recorders.
00:06:15Took him months.
00:06:19He doesn't know why he did it, and neither do I.
00:06:21But somehow, it all comes down to me being a bad fathership.
00:06:29He's a good kid.
00:06:32Nice.
00:06:33Good kids often lose their way.
00:06:35Don't be so hard on yourself.
00:06:37I've been trained that way.
00:06:39I'm a Marine, sir.
00:06:41It sucks.
00:06:42I like that.
00:06:43Going to watch the playoffs this weekend, sir?
00:06:45Playoffs?
00:06:46Would you believe it?
00:06:46I don't even know who the hell's playing this year.
00:06:48I don't know who the hell's playing this year.
00:06:51I don't know who the hell's playing this year.
00:06:52He's been trained.
00:06:54All right.
00:07:04One last question.
00:07:05Mr. President, can you tell us what you thought of the latest CNN poll?
00:07:11My chief of staff, Ms. Corcoran, likes to say that a poll is what you hang a politician from.
00:07:16I don't pay any attention to them.
00:07:18It's a different number every day.
00:07:20Mr. President, Mr. President.
00:07:21One last question.
00:07:22Hello.
00:07:23General Lloyd has publicly accused you of turning your back on the military.
00:07:27Would you care to comment?
00:07:29General Lloyd's remarks were taken out of context and blown way out of proportion.
00:07:34But make no mistake about it.
00:07:36The general was freelancing.
00:07:38But I am smart enough to know when I'm being shot at by a professional, and I'm still in
00:07:46one piece.
00:07:47Thank you for asking.
00:07:52Well, Betsy, from one herd of jackals to the next.
00:07:56Cabinet, Mr. President.
00:07:58The 29% approval rating.
00:07:59You can't tell them what to do.
00:08:01If you don't build a consensus, you're going to pay a price.
00:08:03I thought the Cabinet was supposed to be the President's team.
00:08:06I bet.
00:08:07You wait till you bet.
00:08:08Ladies and gentlemen.
00:08:10All right.
00:08:10General.
00:08:11Stephen.
00:08:13Harry.
00:08:15We have a lot of ground to cover in a short time, as usual, so I suggest we get started
00:08:20right away.
00:08:22Let's begin with something easy.
00:08:24Tax it.
00:08:25Well, as you all know, I have on my desk right now a bill that gives a huge budget increase
00:08:35to the military.
00:08:36Suppose I just don't sign it.
00:08:38Suppose some of that goes over to domestic, to farm subsidies and the rest of it, to policing
00:08:44our streets.
00:08:46Do you really think that's wise, sir?
00:08:48I don't know, Art.
00:08:49What do you think?
00:08:49If you do that, Mr. President, I'm told that our readiness and force structure will suffer
00:08:55severely.
00:08:56That sounds just like General Lloyd's position.
00:08:59If you veto that bill, Mr. President, you're going to get a huge public reaction.
00:09:05Then I'll take the heat, Tom.
00:09:07Look, I know most of you don't like this idea, and I'm not going to ask for a show of hands,
00:09:13but I will need the support of each and every person in this room.
00:09:17We're going to need to pull together on this, and let's be clear about what we will not
00:09:26do.
00:09:28We will not any longer defer our urgent domestic needs in order to satisfy the inflated demands
00:09:38of the military.
00:09:39We will not add $40 to $60 billion to the budget without having any idea where the money's
00:09:47coming from.
00:09:48I ran on a pledge to cut the deficit.
00:09:53That's why we're all here today.
00:09:56I'm going to do it, or I'll die trying.
00:09:59Oh, let's not talk about death.
00:10:04Taxes is depressing enough.
00:10:06Why, Walter, I always thought that death was a vice presidential obsession.
00:10:10Where is it written that if your president's from the heartland, your vice president has
00:10:23to be a backroom boy from the east?
00:10:25It was a winning combination.
00:10:27But a terrible marriage.
00:10:29I should have gone with Charlie Potter.
00:10:31He gets things done.
00:10:34Are we pushing too hard?
00:10:35We don't have a choice.
00:10:37If things don't change remarkably, there won't be a second term.
00:10:44We've come a long way, Betsy.
00:10:47I couldn't have done it without you.
00:10:50Thank you, sir.
00:11:01Central Command.
00:11:03Yeah.
00:11:03This is Colonel Casey from the Joint Staff.
00:11:07I need the Deputy Commander, please.
00:11:09O'Malley.
00:11:10Colonel O'Malley.
00:11:12Yeah.
00:11:12We noticed a little item up here preparing a readiness report for the alert this weekend.
00:11:17It's just a routine exercise, but it says here you guys ordered live ammo.
00:11:22Not exactly standard.
00:11:24Well, that's classified.
00:11:26Excuse me?
00:11:27I'm sorry, Colonel.
00:11:28No one but General Allen is authorized to discuss that operation.
00:11:32Maybe you can call back tomorrow?
00:11:33Sure.
00:11:35Tomorrow's the plan.
00:11:40Hello.
00:11:41Walter.
00:11:41Yeah.
00:11:42Mac Casey.
00:11:43Hey, Mac.
00:11:44Yeah.
00:11:44The rising star.
00:11:45I got the dude.
00:11:46It's the puzzle palace.
00:11:47Look, Walt.
00:11:49I'm checking out this live ammo request.
00:11:51Jesus, Mac.
00:11:53I wish you guys would get it together.
00:11:55You added the live ammo for your slam dunk thing.
00:11:58Don't you remember?
00:11:58It's for slam dunk.
00:11:59Yeah.
00:12:00It's the damnedest thing.
00:12:02We're training more for seizure than defense here.
00:12:05Yeah.
00:12:06Mac.
00:12:07Mac.
00:12:08This will only take a moment.
00:12:12Yesterday, I ran across a little glitch in the printouts.
00:12:17There was live ammo.
00:12:19Ordered for some operation called slam dunk.
00:12:22I'm sorry you got left out, Mac.
00:12:25It was the president's idea to keep this one down to the short list.
00:12:30Slam dunk is a covert exercise we're running with the CIA.
00:12:35Extremely sensitive, Mac.
00:12:38Extremely sensitive.
00:12:39A team is practicing to go into a third world country to seize a nuclear weapon.
00:12:47I can show you the file if you're curious.
00:12:49I wouldn't mind taking a look.
00:12:50Thanks.
00:12:54Can I have it now, sir?
00:12:55I'll shoot it to your email.
00:12:57You'll have it tomorrow morning.
00:13:07Thank you, sir.
00:13:09Let's keep it across in there.
00:13:14Stand by.
00:13:2915 points down.
00:13:31Take a shot or give it up.
00:13:39So, what was your program today?
00:13:51I saw the therapist.
00:13:54Yeah.
00:13:59You like her?
00:14:03Well, she's okay.
00:14:04She asked you lots of questions.
00:14:19Well, she asked if I felt a rush when I was stealing.
00:14:26And I told her I felt awful.
00:14:30And she says, why?
00:14:34And I say,
00:14:36because I knew I'd get caught.
00:14:41Take your hands out of your pocket.
00:14:43Take a shot.
00:14:43And then she says, why did you do it?
00:14:52And you say,
00:14:53what?
00:14:55Because,
00:14:56because I,
00:14:58because I couldn't stop.
00:15:02And she asked how we get along.
00:15:04How did we get along?
00:15:15You're close to filing out.
00:15:23Try to stay in the game.
00:15:25Try to stay in the game.
00:15:31Take your shot or give it up.
00:15:32I don't think the son of a bitch can't shut up,
00:15:50even if he wants to.
00:15:51He's a born politician.
00:15:54I'm not a bad one at that.
00:15:56Name one successful general who isn't.
00:15:58Well, I have rapidly lost my appetite for the daily battle.
00:16:02Tell me what would happen to my poll numbers
00:16:05if I were to fire a living legend.
00:16:07You'd become nostalgic for the days when you had 29%.
00:16:10But look at the upside.
00:16:13Lloyd will be retiring soon.
00:16:16With full honors,
00:16:16and you'll have one less problem.
00:16:18Though, of course,
00:16:19replacing him may be a problem
00:16:20since you've almost run out of women.
00:16:22Very good, Mr. Secretary.
00:16:24Where would I be without you, Charlie?
00:16:27I've been advised, General,
00:16:29to fire you.
00:16:33I frankly know of no reason why, sir.
00:16:38But you know I serve at your disposal, Mr. President.
00:16:42Yes, but you've gone and got yourself
00:16:43a pretty good constituency.
00:16:46I'm asking a lot of the American people already.
00:16:48I can't liquidate their Captain Marvel.
00:16:51The people want to know they're defended.
00:16:56They are, at a cost of $230 billion a year.
00:17:00May I remind you, Mr. President,
00:17:02that the sole purpose of our military
00:17:04is to wage and win wars
00:17:06and protect our shores from foreign aggressors.
00:17:09You are a compassionate man, sir,
00:17:10but you are withholding funds
00:17:13which will leave our military degraded.
00:17:15You are recklessly placing this nation
00:17:19in a position of weakness.
00:17:21And may I remind you, General,
00:17:23that I, with the help of Congress,
00:17:25will make policy.
00:17:27You will follow it.
00:17:28If you want my job,
00:17:30go out and win your party's nomination
00:17:31and get yourself elected.
00:17:33I have no interest in becoming president.
00:17:35My sole concern
00:17:36is there be a country left to defend.
00:17:40Another war is coming, sir,
00:17:41and when it does,
00:17:42we're going to have to call on Israel
00:17:44to defend us
00:17:45because our own forces
00:17:46will have become impotent
00:17:48in the interests of social experiments
00:17:50and global public relations.
00:17:54Keep your opinions to yourself, General,
00:17:56or confine them to this office.
00:18:14After midnight, right?
00:18:27I say quarter to one.
00:18:28Right.
00:18:28I leave her there, park, right?
00:18:30In that driveway.
00:18:31It's a White House.
00:18:32It's late at night.
00:18:34You know, she's alone.
00:18:35And I come back,
00:18:35and I show her this envelope.
00:18:37And I say, shit,
00:18:38we've got to rush this
00:18:38out to the CIA at Lange.
00:18:40And this gets you laid?
00:18:41I'm six for six on this.
00:18:43That's great.
00:18:43Trust me.
00:18:44Uh, yes, sir.
00:18:46Situation normal?
00:18:47Uh, yes, sir.
00:18:49How's the traffic
00:18:50on the old man's betting pool?
00:18:52Uh, something came in this morning.
00:18:57Correct me if I'm wrong,
00:18:58but, uh,
00:18:59Reagent Alpha One.
00:19:03That's an advanced
00:19:03chemical disabling weapon, right?
00:19:06Yeah, what's the point?
00:19:07It's been okayed for the alert.
00:19:09Don't ask me why,
00:19:11but National Command authorized it.
00:19:14Punch up where General Lloyd is.
00:19:15Now.
00:19:16Now.
00:19:39It's good to see you two
00:20:06playing ball together today.
00:20:10It's getting better.
00:20:14He's starting to realize
00:20:16what he did wrong.
00:20:20And I'm sorry.
00:20:22You know,
00:20:22the way I've been lately,
00:20:24it's just, I just got so much
00:20:25on my mind,
00:20:26you're just kidding.
00:20:30Is this, um,
00:20:31about seeing Todd's therapist
00:20:33tomorrow?
00:20:33Do we need this?
00:20:38I don't know this woman.
00:20:39She doesn't know us.
00:20:40She knows Todd.
00:20:42He likes her.
00:20:45I said I'd be there,
00:20:46so I'll be there.
00:20:51Mac.
00:20:56Thanks.
00:20:56Thanks.
00:20:56Good morning, Chief of Staff's office.
00:21:11May I help you?
00:21:13Chief of Staff, please.
00:21:15Who's calling, please?
00:21:16This is the
00:21:19Director of Current Operations
00:21:21of the Pentagon,
00:21:22Colonel Mac Casey.
00:21:23I tell her it's urgent
00:21:24and private.
00:21:35What's so urgent?
00:21:37Betsy?
00:21:38Betsy?
00:21:39Betsy, I need to talk to you.
00:21:40That's it?
00:21:41No hello.
00:21:41How are you?
00:21:42Where are you, anyway?
00:21:43I'm sorry.
00:21:44This is really important.
00:21:47It's a matter of national security.
00:21:49Aren't you pretty far out of channels, Mac?
00:21:51You have a boss.
00:21:52Talk to him.
00:21:52I can't.
00:21:53Jesus, Mac.
00:21:54I'm catching javelins here.
00:21:56What the hell is going on?
00:21:57Can you give me some idea?
00:21:59Yeah, I need to talk to you in person.
00:22:01You and everyone else.
00:22:03Betsy, you've known me for a long time.
00:22:06I've been a Marine for 19 years.
00:22:08By me calling you,
00:22:09I may be throwing it all away.
00:22:10Hang on for a second, Mac.
00:22:12We'll wait for a second.
00:22:16Betsy?
00:22:17Grant Memorial, 8 o'clock.
00:22:20Oh, okay.
00:22:22Uh, can you make it 8.30?
00:22:25This is not a negotiation, Colonel.
00:22:30Okay.
00:22:32Grant Memorial, 8 o'clock.
00:22:34See you then.
00:22:35Bye.
00:22:35Office of the Attorney General, please hold.
00:22:43Secretary Potter to see you.
00:22:45Good morning, Sarah.
00:22:46Good morning.
00:22:46How are you?
00:22:47I'm fine.
00:22:47Thank you, Mr. Secretary.
00:22:48Good, good.
00:22:49Good morning, Charlie.
00:22:50Come in, sit down.
00:22:51Thank you, Sarah.
00:22:51The General tells me that you have misgivings, Arthur.
00:23:07I have always had misgivings, Charlie.
00:23:10The Constitution is, is in my care.
00:23:16Others before us have tried to manipulate the Constitution, but Jesus, this thing makes
00:23:21them look like a Sunday picnic.
00:23:24I, I can't be a part of subverting the Constitution, Charlie.
00:23:30Not as a means to an end, even if that end is saving the country itself.
00:23:37Oh, my.
00:23:40You should reread the Constitution, Arthur.
00:23:43I have.
00:23:46You unleash this thing.
00:23:49How do you know what will ultimately happen?
00:23:52Because I control what happens.
00:23:55What if something goes wrong?
00:23:57Arthur, nothing is going to go wrong.
00:24:00You have a backup plan.
00:24:03I don't want to hear about that, including that exercise this Saturday, you hear?
00:24:08Very well.
00:24:10I understand you have misgivings, Arthur.
00:24:14What I need to know is, what do you intend to do about them?
00:24:19Nothing.
00:24:22Do I have your word on that?
00:24:26Yes.
00:24:27Damn you.
00:24:30I respect that, Arthur.
00:24:31Good afternoon, General.
00:24:51Good afternoon, General.
00:24:52Admiral, come on in.
00:24:53Good afternoon, General.
00:24:54Oh, Mac.
00:24:55You can sit this one out.
00:24:56Colonel, there appears to be a lot of pressure at home right now.
00:25:16Todd talks about you a great deal.
00:25:18Seems clear you've always had a strong relationship.
00:25:20He's my son, and I love him.
00:25:24But I don't see what that's got to do with this.
00:25:26Don't you?
00:25:28Look, Doctor.
00:25:30I'm sure you're very good at what you do.
00:25:33But I don't think this is getting us anywhere.
00:25:37Todd made a mistake.
00:25:40He's got to deal with his punishment, learn from it, and move on.
00:25:44Right, Todd?
00:25:47You and your dad live by a pretty tough code of behavior, don't you, Todd?
00:25:51I guess so.
00:25:53Let me ask you something.
00:25:54Did you ever wonder what would happen if you failed to live up to that code?
00:25:58I'd get in a lot of trouble.
00:26:00I think maybe it was possible if you were trying to test things.
00:26:03See if your dad still loved you just as much, even after you got caught.
00:26:08Todd, we'll watch the camp together tonight.
00:26:15You're leaving?
00:26:17Now?
00:26:19I gotta go.
00:26:21I'm really sorry.
00:26:22How could you do this?
00:26:24I'll be there for tip-off.
00:26:26Save me a seat, huh?
00:26:29Sorry.
00:26:38I was just getting ready to leave.
00:26:52If anybody but you, I'd be gone by now.
00:26:54It wasn't exactly convenient accommodating your schedule.
00:26:58You've got exactly six minutes.
00:27:00Make it good.
00:27:02Have you ever heard of a classified covert exercise involving the military and the CIA?
00:27:08Called slam dunk?
00:27:13Let the president have approved this exercise without you having known.
00:27:18The political answer?
00:27:19Sure.
00:27:20The truth?
00:27:21No.
00:27:21Last Sunday I learned that General Lloyd was operating a betting pool over the NBA playoffs.
00:27:28Pentagon's always got betting pools, so what?
00:27:30The general told me he doesn't even know who's playing.
00:27:32Betsy, that's not like him.
00:27:34He's never lied to me before.
00:27:38The same day I noticed that live ammunition had been ordered for this weekend's alert.
00:27:44So I did some checking.
00:27:46And I found out two things.
00:27:49First, that they were training more for seizure, not for protection.
00:27:54Second, this live ammunition was ordered for this operation, slam dunk.
00:28:00And?
00:28:01I talked to the general.
00:28:04Told him that there must have been a communications glitch because I was not informed of the situation.
00:28:09And?
00:28:10He said that the president wanted to keep the list short on this one.
00:28:15He said he'd send me the file.
00:28:17But he hasn't shown it to me yet.
00:28:19Go on.
00:28:21General Lloyd has been meeting privately.
00:28:26Secretary Potter, other members of the cabinet.
00:28:30Doesn't add up.
00:28:30You have absolutely nothing but your own conjecture.
00:28:34Standard exercise calls for 10,000 men.
00:28:36This weekend, we're deploying 100,000 troops into the 12 major cities of this country.
00:28:46And there's one more thing.
00:28:48What's that?
00:28:49The troops have been armed with chemical weapons.
00:28:53I need to talk to the president.
00:28:54I need to talk to the president.
00:29:24I think I'm going to call you in the morning.
00:29:36I'm going to get you back here.
00:29:54Mr. Daniel.
00:30:02Mr. Daniel.
00:30:03Sir!
00:30:03Sir!
00:30:04Come on, man.
00:30:34Maybe we interrupt this program for a special report.
00:30:38Good evening, this is Iris Gitter in front of the Watergate Plaza in Washington, D.C.,
00:30:42where just moments ago U.S. Attorney General Arthur Daniels collapsed and died of an apparent heart attack.
00:30:47You can see that the police are closing off the area.
00:30:50People are still leaving the fundraising event that the Attorney General was attending.
00:30:54He had no previous record of a heart attack or heart problems.
00:30:57Matt, it's for you.
00:30:58Now back to you in the studio.
00:31:00Thanks.
00:31:03Yes?
00:31:04Our friend would like you to come for a visit.
00:31:06Eastgate, 40 minutes.
00:31:08Right, 40 minutes, I'll be there.
00:31:09Thanks.
00:31:09Bye.
00:31:10Defense!
00:31:12Defense!
00:31:13Defense!

00:31:30Defense!
00:31:33Defense!
00:31:58Defense!
00:31:58Ready?
00:32:28Mr. President, Colonel Matt Casey.
00:32:43Please sit down, Colonel.
00:32:44I prefer to stand. Thank you, sir.
00:32:47Tell me about the general.
00:32:50Sir, this is very uncomfortable for me.
00:32:53Because it concerns a superior officer that I admire and respect.
00:32:56Understood.
00:32:58The general believes that war is inevitable.
00:33:02And the next time we will lose because we have lost our ability to fight.
00:33:09I'd like to ask you a question, sir.
00:33:11Go ahead.
00:33:13Yesterday, I saw a private memo.
00:33:15Then an advanced chemical disabling weapon called Reagent Alpha One had been authorized for this weekend's alert.
00:33:26Only the National Command Authority can do that, sir.
00:33:29I didn't order it.
00:33:32The only other person with that authority is Secretary Potter.
00:33:35Now let me ask you a question.
00:33:49You believe General Lloyd is a hero.
00:33:52Yes, I do.
00:33:53Can a hero be a traitor?
00:33:55I'm afraid he could be.
00:34:00So you think there's a military plot to take over the government?
00:34:04Naked military takeover?
00:34:06Not in this country.
00:34:07The people would never stand for it.
00:34:10The men in arms are just regular American kids.
00:34:13They wouldn't stand for it either.
00:34:14There has to be something more.
00:34:18The military action has to be supporting something.
00:34:22Something within the law that the people could accept.
00:34:28The Attorney General, he died of a heart attack, sir?
00:34:34Art Daniels just had his physical a week ago at Bethesda.
00:34:38We asked about it.
00:34:41He was in perfect health.
00:34:42The KGB used to use smoke and prussic acid.
00:34:51Death was instantaneous.
00:34:52Looked like a coronary.
00:34:54Our boys could have done the same thing.
00:34:57You believe Art Daniels was assassinated?
00:35:01What I do not believe in, sir, is coincidence.
00:35:06Maybe Daniels found out.
00:35:08Maybe he was even involved in it.
00:35:10Maybe he just had a heart attack.
00:35:13Maybe.
00:35:16Mac has a list of 22 names.
00:35:20They're the commanders of the exercise this weekend.
00:35:23He thinks they'll make a move during the alert.
00:35:25If it is true, all you can do is fire them.
00:35:28Now.
00:35:29What about the other generals?
00:35:31Do I trust them?
00:35:33Just because Colonel Casey hasn't found their names yet?
00:35:39If I fire my top 22 generals, claim they're traitors without proof.
00:35:45You could be impeached.
00:35:51It's a possibility, sir.
00:35:53And a chance we might just have to take.
00:35:55Sir, we don't know what they're planning.
00:35:58Or what they'd do to protect themselves if they suspected that we knew.
00:36:01They might move it up.
00:36:04They might go immediately.
00:36:06We tip our hands right now.
00:36:08We are giving up our tactical advantage to surprise.
00:36:10And frankly, sir, that is the only advantage that we have.
00:36:13And what are we supposed to do with our tactical advantage?
00:36:16We're going to find out who they are, what they're planning, and how to stop them in 69 hours.
00:36:22You're a career military.
00:36:24You're General Lloyd's protege.
00:36:26Why didn't you join them?
00:36:28They didn't ask me.
00:36:29If they had.
00:36:30The military exists to support and defend the government.
00:36:36Not to be the government, sir.
00:36:39Should I worry about where your loyalties lie?
00:36:45I'm here.
00:36:49I'm the one who blew the whistle, sir.
00:37:00I'm the one who blew the whistle.
00:37:30Good night, sir.
00:38:00I'm the one who blew the whistle.
00:38:30Oh, my God.
00:39:00What time did you get in last night?
00:39:18When?
00:39:19Mac, you've done classified work before.
00:39:21You've always told me something.
00:39:24It's different.
00:39:25How?
00:39:26How?
00:39:27There's something you should let me know.
00:39:30If I could, I would.
00:39:34I see.
00:39:39You run out on us twice in one night?
00:39:42You don't come back home until three in the morning?
00:39:46Honey...
00:39:47For 15 years?
00:39:48I mean, I haven't given you trouble like that.
00:39:53I never thought so.
00:39:56I'm no angel, Gene.
00:39:59I may be a lousy father.
00:40:03But I promise I'll be there for him.
00:40:05I'm trying really hard to believe that.
00:40:17Good morning, Mr. President.
00:40:19Good morning, Mr. President.
00:40:20How does it look this morning?
00:40:22Did our colonel just have a bad dream?
00:40:24I'm afraid it's not going to go away.
00:40:28What amazes me is if this thing hasn't leaked yet.
00:40:34I want you to scrub my meeting with Sharon instead.
00:40:37Throw some smoke at the press, but I'm working on foreign affairs for change.
00:40:42Tell me about Casey.
00:40:43You confident about him?
00:40:46I've known him for a long time.
00:40:48We're making a big bet on one man.
00:40:50So what do we do?
00:40:52Regrave the National Security Advisor from Kiev?
00:40:54Nope.
00:40:55Charlie Potter would smell a rat right off.
00:40:57I thought Charlie was my friend.
00:41:00And if we get lucky, find a guy who's not a conspirator.
00:41:03How do we know?
00:41:04Leave and help us.
00:41:06FBI Secret Service?
00:41:08If Daniels could have been in on it.
00:41:10Why not the FBI?
00:41:12Why not anybody?
00:41:13You might get a hand from Daniels' private secretary, Sarah, something.
00:41:18She's not too bright.
00:41:19I'll make up a story.
00:41:20I'll make him a call.
00:41:32Yeah?
00:41:32Colonel Casey, please.
00:41:34Uh, yeah, he's right here.
00:41:35Hang on.
00:41:36Mac?
00:41:37Yeah.
00:41:40Lou.
00:41:40Please hold for the chief of staff.
00:41:43Yeah.
00:41:44The attorney general's secretary is a Sarah McCann.
00:41:47You'll be meeting her tonight at the Justice Department.
00:41:51Okay.
00:41:519th Street entrance, 7 o'clock.
00:41:53That'll give the building time to clear.
00:41:55Oh, your name is Wycliffe.
00:41:57Phillip.
00:41:57I gotta, I gotta, I gotta go now.
00:41:59I gotta go.
00:42:01Hey, saw you checking out of the White House last night.
00:42:03What are you, special advisor to the president?
00:42:06It wasn't me, pal.
00:42:09Mac?
00:42:11Sir.
00:42:12Did you forget something, sir?
00:42:14You've been working too hard.
00:42:17You just take care of this briefing and then take a three-day pass and spend some time with
00:42:21the family.
00:42:22That's an order.
00:42:24Thank you, sir.
00:42:24Thank you, sir.
00:42:25Mr. Wycliffe, I'm Sarah McCann.
00:42:48Could you have had another appointment book?
00:42:54Private one, maybe?
00:42:56No, just that one, I think.
00:43:00Did General Lloyd come her off?
00:43:01Just that once.
00:43:05Can you remember anything about that?
00:43:07How the general looked when he went in, when he came out?
00:43:10The attorney generals moved after the meeting.
00:43:14Well, they fought.
00:43:15I heard both of their voices raised through the door, but I couldn't hear any words.
00:43:21And when they came out, they were smiling.
00:43:26Sarah?
00:43:28Could you sit down for a second?
00:43:37What did Miss Corcoran tell you about the situation?
00:43:40Miss Corcoran didn't call me.
00:43:42The president called me.
00:43:44Himself.
00:43:45He said I should give you anything you ask for.
00:43:48And to keep this a secret, because Mr. Daniels had some enemies.
00:43:52And that you were defending Mr. Daniels' good name.
00:43:57He wasn't a perfect man.
00:43:59But he was a good man.
00:44:02You see, the president said for you to give me whatever I ask.
00:44:07But what we're looking for, it's a secret.
00:44:11So I don't know what to ask.
00:44:15You know.
00:44:16This wasn't anything like Watergate.
00:44:33This was just for his memoirs.
00:44:35And he wouldn't have written anything until after everyone had retired.
00:44:38And then he would have handled everything with integrity.
00:44:44I need the tapes, Sarah.
00:44:46Especially the ones from Tuesday.
00:44:48He didn't give them to me.
00:44:50They were at his house.
00:44:52I think.
00:44:53Is there anybody there?
00:44:55No.
00:44:56After the divorce, he lived by himself.
00:44:58I have a key.
00:45:02I have a key.
00:45:02I have a key.
00:45:04I have a key.
00:45:28I have a key.

00:46:54This thing does go deeper than the military.
00:46:56It proves it to us.
00:46:57It doesn't prove it to the country.
00:46:59Now we're down to 48 hours.
00:47:0345.
00:47:05I'll update the president.
00:47:06Okay.
00:47:08Okay.
00:47:08What's the matter?
00:47:37Are you tired?
00:47:38You run.
00:47:39You run home.
00:47:40Run home now.
00:47:40Let's go.
00:47:41Go.
00:47:41Go.
00:47:42I don't have time to explain.
00:47:44Now go.
00:47:44Go.
00:47:48Go.
00:47:49Go.
00:47:49Let's go.
00:48:19We just want to talk to you.
00:48:49Colonel Casey.
00:49:07Who are you?
00:49:08Call me Jake.
00:49:13Jake.
00:49:14Would you prefer Joe?
00:49:17No.
00:49:18Jake is fine.
00:49:20I didn't know you guys were still in business.
00:49:23Yes, we Russians have a great respect for our traditions.
00:49:26What am I doing here?
00:49:29You are Colonel Lyle MacArthur Casey.
00:49:34And you are tracking your own superior, General Lloyd, and reporting back to the White House.
00:49:39That is why I wish to speak with you.
00:49:45We know that you are facing a conspiracy in your government, Colonel.
00:49:50We wish to help.
00:49:52President Foster is a humanitarian, sympathetic to the plight of my people.
00:50:02And a militarily controlled U.S. is not in our best interests.
00:50:08Fort Benning.
00:50:13Here is NORAD.
00:50:18Now Tampa.
00:50:21Troop movements.
00:50:22All from this morning.
00:50:23How did you get these photographs?
00:50:26We accessed your high-resolution satellites.
00:50:31Very simple.
00:50:33Next.
00:50:35Hunting Lodge.
00:50:37Blue Ridge Mountains.
00:50:40Four meetings in six weeks.
00:50:42Always these very same men.
00:50:45You know, Colonel, the Pentagon is the best news manager in the world.
00:50:57Your general has all he needs.
00:50:59The politicians.
00:51:01The military.
00:51:02Public opinion.
00:51:04And the next president.
00:51:09Vice President Kelly.
00:51:12Walter Kelly.
00:51:18Why am I not surprised?
00:51:21And Jack Giddings.
00:51:23More money than God and the moral sense of an eant.
00:51:26Fire everybody in sight.
00:51:28The whole fucking cabinet.
00:51:29I can't fire the vice president.
00:51:31And I can't fire Jack Giddings.
00:51:33What's worse, I can't prove anything.
00:51:36What about these photographs?
00:51:37You want me to go on TV and say,
00:51:39I got these photos from the Russians of our bases,
00:51:42which incriminate the most popular hero in the United States.
00:51:46The vote to impeach would end gridlocker.
00:51:50It would be unanimous and bipartisan.
00:51:52And then Walter Kelly waltzes into the Oval Office through the front door.
00:51:57We still have some time, sir.
00:52:00Go back to your friends, Mac.
00:52:04There's got to be more.
00:52:05Get me some proof I can use.
00:52:07We're down to 35 hours.
00:52:08We have to do something.
00:52:10I don't know what I'm doing.
00:52:13Yes?
00:52:14Excuse me, sir.
00:52:15The president's on line one.
00:52:18Good afternoon, General.
00:52:19Good afternoon, Mr. President.
00:52:21General, I'll come straight to the point.
00:52:23I want to cancel the alert this weekend.
00:52:25If I may, sir, this exercise is vital to our readiness, as we discussed.
00:52:36I agree, General.
00:52:38I'm not suggesting we cancel it indefinitely.
00:52:40But with everything that's happened, I want to postpone it.
00:52:45Well, of course, the final decision is up to you, sir.
00:52:47But I must say I cannot endorse your decision.
00:52:51I take that under consideration, General.
00:52:54But I'm afraid my decision is final.
00:52:57I want it canceled.
00:52:59Goodbye, General.
00:53:10Bye, Mr. President.
00:53:12Arthur Daniels had the same respect for life, family, and God
00:53:21as for the law he swore to uphold.
00:53:25He left us a legacy of decency, decency in every aspect of his life.
00:53:31For those of us who knew him, we learned to admire and respect him.
00:53:38We shall miss him greatly.
00:53:40Let us pray.
00:53:41Unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
00:53:47O my God, I trust in thee.
00:53:49Let me not be ashamed.
00:53:51Let not mine enemies triumph over me.
00:53:54Let none that wait on thee be ashamed.
00:53:57Let them be ashamed which transgress without cause.
00:54:01Show me thy ways, O Lord.
00:54:03Teach me thy paths.
00:54:06Consider mine enemies, for they are many,
00:54:08and they hate me with cruel hatred.
00:54:11So keep my soul and deliver me.
00:54:13Let me not be ashamed,
00:54:15for I put my trust in thee.
00:54:17Really?
00:54:18Yeah, yeah.
00:54:18I thought you were wrong.
00:54:19Dear Lord, let your son, Arthur Daniels, be with you today.
00:54:24Ready, aim, fire.
00:54:32Ready, aim, fire.
00:54:36Ready, aim, fire.
00:54:40Ready, aim, fire.
00:54:45Ready, aim, fire.
00:54:50Try again.
00:54:52Present, eye.
00:54:57Order, eye.
00:54:59It's unfortunate that this was necessary.
00:55:10We're going to get our hands dirty,
00:55:12no matter how antiseptically we do this.
00:55:22We're shutting it down.
00:55:24Try to get...
00:55:25Look, I've already gone where no lieutenant's gone before.
00:55:29Try it again, lieutenant.
00:55:31Colonel, this ain't kosher.
00:55:32Damn it, Billy, you just...
00:55:33You go have a cup of coffee, okay?
00:55:36Okay.
00:55:55But we're in agreement.
00:56:05This thing is a go for tomorrow.
00:56:16Colonel.
00:56:24Lieutenant.
00:56:24Lieutenant.
00:56:25Sir.
00:56:26Was that Colonel Casey?
00:56:30No, sir.
00:56:32He's on a three-day pass, sir.
00:56:35Thank you, lieutenant.
00:56:38Carry on.
00:56:40Sir.
00:56:46If I don't get some hard proof by 8 o'clock tomorrow night,
00:56:50there'll be no second chances.
00:56:51How we came forward to you, why would I hold back hard proof?
00:56:57To compromise to some other interests of yours?
00:57:00Maybe an agent you have in place?
00:57:05Hypothetically speaking, if such an agent existed,
00:57:10I presume one could bargain.
00:57:13One can always bargain.
00:57:15One can always bargain.
00:57:15Come on, all the way, now, all the way.
00:57:18Oh, yeah.
00:57:19Jordan Almonds.
00:57:20I'm addicted.
00:57:21I need a witness to testify, Jake.
00:57:24No, the agent in place has been a bit of a problem to us for reasons that I cannot say.
00:57:32Going to the other side, is he?
00:57:34Let's just say emotional problems.
00:57:36Let me think on this.
00:57:41The third baseman.
00:57:44You're out of here!
00:57:45My child!
00:57:46Get a strong will on you!
00:57:48I love this game!
00:57:53Russians are hoping for a deal.
00:57:56Get me proof.
00:57:58And their agent goes home.
00:58:00Yes, sir.
00:58:01I'm going to be contacting on that.
00:58:02Let's pray it soon.
00:58:03Because with 20 hours to go, we've got nothing.
00:58:08The ultimate will be a confession.
00:58:11Someone inside the conspiracy.
00:58:12Why would anybody do that?
00:58:13Especially since they'd be confessing to treason.
00:58:16Maybe even murder.
00:58:21Keep thinking about Art Daniels.
00:58:25The one thing he would never do is go against the Constitution.
00:58:33We live in a highly evolved democracy.
00:58:36They're going to have to do something to give this thing the appearance, the illusion of legality.
00:58:43Amendment 25, ratified after Kennedy.
00:58:56Presidential Disability and Succession Act, Section 4.
00:59:00Whenever the vice president and majority of either the principal officers of the executive department,
00:59:06sound like the cabinet, sir.
00:59:08Keep reading.
00:59:08Or of such other body as Congress may by law provide,
00:59:12transmit to the president pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives
00:59:16their written declaration that the president is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office,
00:59:22the vice president shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as acting president.
00:59:29Just by sending a letter.
00:59:30You can be removed from office.
00:59:31If I write a letter saying that I am not disabled, I don't automatically get my job back.
00:59:39The other side gets four days to say that I am disabled, which they will,
00:59:44and then the Congress gets 21 days to meet and vote on it.
00:59:47And through all that time,
00:59:49Walter Kelly,
00:59:51that backbiting,
00:59:53remains president.
00:59:56I'll be damned.
01:00:00That's it.
01:00:01That's what, sir?
01:00:02They want a new president they can control.
01:00:05The 25th Amendment makes it legal.
01:00:10That's their cover.
01:00:11This letter was delivered at 8 o'clock this evening.
01:00:18Accordingly, I speak to you now as your president.
01:00:22We are going to try the issues of Will Foster's mental and emotional stability.
01:00:27Not tonight.
01:00:28These issues will be tried in the Congress as required by our Constitution.
01:00:33The system will work its will in this crisis as it has in others.
01:00:37Every man is imperfect by nature,
01:00:41and every nation throughout history has been ruled by men.
01:00:44Every nation but ours.
01:00:46I have therefore decided, in consultation with other government leaders,
01:00:50as a purely temporary measure,
01:00:52that for the next 72 hours, there will be a dusk-to-dawn curfew.
01:00:57The writ of habeas corpus will be suspended during this time.
01:01:00Accordingly, I have placed in the hands of our Joint Chiefs of Staff...
01:01:03We may want to change that.
01:01:05It smells of a military Honda.
01:01:08When you say you place the power into their hands,
01:01:11there's a sense that you're giving up control.
01:01:12Wrong.
01:01:13You're the president.
01:01:15There simply your traffic comes.
01:01:18So I've given an order to the...
01:01:19I've given orders to the...
01:01:20And just lighten up the tone a little through this section here.
01:01:24Let the words carry the power.
01:01:26It's a purely temporary measure.
01:01:27They don't like Will Foster any more than we do.
01:01:31But he is the elected president.
01:01:33You're simply letting them off the hook.
01:01:36They'll feel relieved.
01:01:38That's what they want to feel.
01:01:40Nurture that.
01:01:42Let's do it again.
01:01:43Let's do it again.
01:02:13Let's do it again.
01:02:18Let's do it again.
01:02:20Let's do it again.
01:02:22Let's do it again.
01:02:23Let's do it again.
01:02:24Let's do it again.
01:02:25Let's do it again.
01:02:26Let's do it again.
01:02:27Let's do it again.
01:02:28Let's do it again.
01:02:29Let's do it again.
01:02:30Let's do it again.
01:02:31Let's do it again.
01:02:32Let's do it again.
01:02:33Let's do it again.
01:02:34Let's do it again.
01:02:35Let's do it again.
01:02:36Let's do it again.
01:02:37Let's do it again.
01:02:38Let's do it again.
01:02:39Mm-hmm.
01:03:09Mm-hmm.
01:03:39Are you going to need a ride?
01:03:50Uh, I can get you out of here.
01:03:51I can get you out of here.
01:03:53I can get you out of here.
01:03:57Sarah?
01:04:07Mr. Wycliffe.
01:04:09Mr. Wycliffe.
01:04:10When I was a little girl, if somebody told me that I was going to end up as a spy...
01:04:16Oh, well.
01:04:18Jake ordered me to cooperate with the president.
01:04:28That's why I told you about the tapes.
01:04:31You've got to help us now.
01:04:32Meaning?
01:04:33You've got to testify what's on those tapes.
01:04:35Well, it won't prove anything.
01:04:36Arthur never said anything incriminating.
01:04:37No, no.
01:04:38You're all we've got.
01:04:39Well, if the CIA finds out what I was doing in the Justice Department, what's going to
01:04:40happen to me?
01:04:41The president promised you will be protected.
01:04:42No, no, no.
01:04:43I need to think about this.
01:04:44Hey!
01:04:45You're not listening to me.
01:04:46You've got to tell the president what you know now.
01:04:47decrease in massacrual file, you've got to be tall, that they're not lokom.
01:04:48dadurch harviken redابTS.
01:04:49This is exactly where the sp space is Seo OCD, an Venom.
01:04:50I used to think of what I was doing in the Justice Department.
01:04:51What's going to happen to me?
01:04:52The president promised you will be protected.
01:04:53No, no, no, no.
01:04:54I need to think about this.
01:04:55Hey!
01:04:56You've not listened to me.
01:04:57I'm going to tell the president what you know now.
01:04:58No!
01:04:59Push the supplies ab
01:05:06You've got to leave the police arm out of here.
01:05:15Ask yourself, help us fight.
01:05:17Watch him!
01:05:20Call 911!
01:05:46Gene!
01:05:48Todd!
01:05:50Gene!
01:05:51Todd!
01:05:53Gene!
01:05:55Todd!
01:05:57Gene!
01:05:58Matt, what's the matter?
01:05:59Hey, Todd, and go to your mother's house.
01:06:01Why are you carrying me?
01:06:02I don't have time to explain right now.
01:06:03Dad, what's the matter?
01:06:04What are you doing?
01:06:05Todd, I want you to go with your mother.
01:06:06Take care of your mother, okay?
01:06:07I'm proud.
01:06:08Let's go.
01:06:09Let's go.
01:06:10I'm telling you, it's not safe, man.
01:06:11Don't answer that!
01:06:12Hello?
01:06:14Yes, sir.
01:06:15Dad, it's General Lloyd.
01:06:17Okay, let's go.
01:06:18You gotta go.
01:06:19I love you, baby.
01:06:20Dad!
01:06:21Both of you, you gotta go now.
01:06:22You gotta go now.
01:06:23Come on, where are we going?
01:06:24No.
01:06:25You wanna talk to me?
01:06:26You talk to me in a public place.
01:06:28One hour, you pick.
01:06:29Fine.
01:06:45Hey.
01:06:46Don't worry.
01:06:47Anybody ask?
01:06:48All I saw was the inside of my empty desk.
01:06:49What do you mean?
01:06:50I've been transferred to Hawaii.
01:06:51Effective immediately.
01:06:52I put in for it a few years ago, but I never heard anything.
01:06:56Now suddenly...
01:06:57You take care, okay?
01:06:58You too.
01:06:59You take care, okay?
01:07:00You too.
01:07:01You too.
01:07:32This is symbolic.
01:07:59We could have met over a beer like a couple of Marines.
01:08:01I thought it better we meet here,
01:08:03and put on the Marines who died
01:08:05defending the things you're trying to destroy.
01:08:07Leave the speeches to the politicians.
01:08:10If there'll be any left after you.
01:08:14What have you been doing, Mac?
01:08:17I've been watching your covert exercise.
01:08:19It was agreed that no one under the rank of general would know.
01:08:22That's why you were left out of the discussions.
01:08:24Potter is no general. Jack Giddings is no general.
01:08:28You've been managed.
01:08:30You're not gonna get what you want
01:08:32unless Potter and Giddings get what they want.
01:08:34We all want the same thing.
01:08:35A country secure from foreign aggression.
01:08:37Well, we can have that as long as we have a country we're fighting for.
01:08:40But who is gonna wanna fight for Jack Giddings or Potter?
01:08:44Not me. You can count me out.
01:08:45You would stand by and watch everything that we fought and died for,
01:08:49betrayed by a man who never wore a uniform.
01:08:53He is the elected president.
01:08:57It will be put to the people by way of referendum.
01:09:01It will still be a democracy.
01:09:03No. It will be a scare.
01:09:05Mac, you are a fine soldier and a good man.
01:09:09But I don't want to see you make the wrong choice.
01:09:11You gotta stop this thing, General. It's too late.
01:09:15Power will change hands by constitutional process.
01:09:24Don't get caught in the path of righteous change, son.
01:09:30You are a traitor.
01:09:38This conversation's academic.
01:09:41If you'll excuse me, it's my turn to go to the White House.
01:10:00But you might can't take a step.
01:10:02You are powerful.
01:10:04Not me.
01:10:05Thanks for pointing the teria.
01:10:06If you select, Taric are pushed out of putting them all nyxed 매w to a symbol.
01:10:10I just don't think.
01:10:11No.
01:10:12Go your loot twice.
01:10:13Yes!
01:10:21Gigantic chance.
01:10:23lam's lieutenant is KHERU.
01:10:25What's up?
01:10:26Well, let's throw you over here.
01:10:27I'm not riding smack at this point.
01:10:28All right.
01:10:29I'm not riding a worm.
01:10:30Let's go.
01:11:00Let's go.

01:14:38Let's go.
01:14:40Let's go.
01:14:42Let's go.
01:14:44Let's go.
01:14:46Let's go.
01:14:48Let's go.
01:14:50Let's go.
01:14:52Let's go.
01:14:58Let's go.
01:15:04Let's go.
01:15:06Let's go.
01:15:12Let's go.
01:15:18Let's go.
01:15:20Let's go.
01:15:24Let's go.
01:15:30Let's go.
01:15:32Let's go.
01:15:38Let's go.
01:15:40Let's go.
01:15:46Let's go.
01:15:48Let's go.
01:15:50Let's go.
01:15:52Let's go.
01:15:54Let's go.
01:15:56Let's go.
01:16:07Let's go.
01:16:08Let's go.
01:16:10can no longer be indulged.
01:16:21I'll see you in hell first.
01:16:25That's a date.
01:16:26I didn't think you'd mind.
01:16:30What have you got, Mac?
01:16:31We don't have much time, Mr. President.
01:16:33Go ahead.
01:16:34You start calling.
01:16:36You order back the troops.
01:16:38You kill the letter,
01:16:39and you cancel the telecast.
01:16:40And when you are done calling,
01:16:42this whole thing, it never happened.
01:16:45And if we don't,
01:16:47what are you going to do?
01:16:49I'm going to confess.
01:16:51I'm going to confess to my complicity
01:16:53in our plot.
01:16:57To the press.
01:16:58To the networks.
01:17:01A military plot to overthrow the government
01:17:03led by these gentlemen
01:17:04and do all the details.
01:17:11I have a request
01:17:12for live ammo for slam dunk.
01:17:15I will explain how
01:17:16Arthur Daniels was murdered,
01:17:19causing his body to be exhumed.
01:17:21And I will confess
01:17:22to the ordered murder
01:17:24of his secretary, Sarah, myself.
01:17:26The post
01:17:28will find
01:17:29memos
01:17:31and General Lloyd's
01:17:34private code
01:17:35tucked away
01:17:36in some very interesting files.
01:17:39It's a memo from Lloyd to Daniels.
01:17:42It sets up most of the plot.
01:17:44Clear about my involvement.
01:17:46And, of course,
01:17:48yours.
01:17:51Who's going to believe you?
01:17:53Nobody knows who you are.
01:17:54You're just another colonel.
01:17:57So was Oliver North.
01:17:59People are funny.
01:18:01They won't believe
01:18:02an accusation from the president,
01:18:04but they'll believe a confession
01:18:05from just about anybody.
01:18:17You'd go all the way with this?
01:18:22Career, family?
01:18:23You'd lose it all.
01:18:25I'll lose it all anyway
01:18:26if you're in charge.
01:18:32Here's what we're going to do.
01:18:35We're going to stagger
01:18:36the resignations
01:18:37over the next year.
01:18:38I'm not going to fire you.
01:18:41Not yet.
01:18:43First, you're going to stand behind me
01:18:45while I announce
01:18:46the general's resignation,
01:18:48which I want now.
01:18:50Alert the networks,
01:18:51get everything ready.
01:18:52I want to talk to the nation
01:18:53in ten minutes.
01:18:54I don't propose, general,
01:18:57that the country
01:18:57ever find out
01:18:59just how close you came
01:19:00to tearing it into pieces.
01:19:03Mac?
01:19:04Sir.
01:19:12Make sure the general
01:19:13carries out my order.
01:19:14Yes, sir.
01:19:15Yes, sir.
01:19:18Let's go.
01:19:20You've got some phone calls
01:19:21to make.
01:19:35Do you know
01:19:36who Judas was, colonel?
01:19:38Yes.
01:19:40I know who Judas was.
01:19:43He was a man I worked for
01:19:44and once respected
01:19:46until I disgraced
01:19:48the four stars of his uniform.
01:19:49My fellow Americans,
01:20:08tonight I must announce
01:20:09with deep regret
01:20:10that I have asked for
01:20:12and accepted
01:20:13the resignation
01:20:14of General R. Pendleton Lloyd
01:20:16as chairman
01:20:17of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
01:20:19I have the highest regard
01:20:21for the general.
01:20:24However,
01:20:24he recently conceded
01:20:26to Secretary Potter
01:20:27and to me
01:20:29that our differences
01:20:31are just too great
01:20:32to reconcile.
01:20:34That being the case,
01:20:36I had no choice
01:20:37but to accept
01:20:38his resignation.
01:20:40In recent months,
01:20:42there has been abroad
01:20:45and in this land
01:20:46a whisper
01:20:46that we have somehow
01:20:48lost our greatness.
01:20:50Well, it is not so.
01:20:54We must not allow ourselves
01:20:56to be persuaded
01:20:57to exchange our liberties
01:21:00for anyone else's order.
01:21:04We must not be dismayed
01:21:06if democracy,
01:21:08even in crisis,
01:21:09is an untidy form
01:21:11of government.
01:21:12We are united
01:21:14in remaining
01:21:15strong and proud,
01:21:18peaceful,
01:21:19and committed
01:21:20to laying down
01:21:21our lives
01:21:22for our way of life
01:21:23if need be.
01:21:28Good night,
01:21:30and God bless you,
