00:00:00Fight Control, you're clear to 16,000 feet. Proceed to coordinate 6, Tango, Charlie.
00:00:05Roger, Control. It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood.
00:00:10EPA, the entry point, 95 seconds.
00:00:13Cam right behind you.
00:00:15Try and keep us out of trouble, okay, outlaw?
00:00:17I always do.
00:00:19Yeah, right. But about last Saturday night, did you forget about those two bottles?
00:00:24Kill it, Chit-Chant, Delta Flight.
00:00:26I should have to remind you this is an operational test flight.
00:00:32Switch VR display to external channel 3.
00:00:36Yes, sir. Delta 1 ready.
00:00:45Flight Control, this is Delta Leader.
00:00:48Start VR, power level 5.
00:00:50Affirmative Delta flight commencing transmission now.
00:00:56Delta 1, system activated.
00:01:08Visual display checks.
00:01:10Delta 2, initiate hyperreality.
00:01:13Yes, sir.
00:01:14System check's good, Colonel.
00:01:24Okay, Delta flight. Descend to Angels 2.
00:01:27Maintain 400 knots.
00:01:29Enter Control Point Sierra.
00:01:30Descending to Angels 2.
00:01:32Here we go.
00:01:32This is gonna be one hairy ride.
00:01:43Ever fly with your eyes closed?
00:01:44All the time.
00:01:47Let's bring it down.
00:01:48Colonel, this is Pike Control.
00:02:16Telemetry is good.
00:02:17We're ready to record.
00:02:19Let's start the profile, Delta Flight.
00:02:21Increase speed to 700 knots.
00:02:23Delta 1 copies.
00:02:24Increasing speed to 700 knots.
00:02:26Two copies.
00:02:26I'm right behind you.
00:02:39I'm right behind you.
00:02:43Holy shit.
00:02:44It's one hell of a video game.
00:02:46Yeah, but it's real.
00:02:47Come on, come on.
00:02:59I got it.
00:03:00I got it.
00:03:01Whoa.
00:03:02That was awful close.
00:03:04Delta 2 awaiting instructions.
00:03:21Proceed to Alpha Formation.
00:03:24Outlaw, this is Hound Dog.
00:03:26I'm moving up on your wing.
00:03:30Negative, Hound Dog.
00:03:31Maintain tactical spacing.
00:03:33Don't crowd me.
00:03:35I'm in position.
00:03:38Jesus, Hound Dog.
00:03:39Back off.
00:03:41Settle down, gentlemen.
00:03:42Colonel, Hound Dog's too close.
00:03:44The system can't handle this formation.
00:03:46The system's fine, Captain Waters.
00:03:49You ready for the next run?
00:03:52Yes, sir.
00:03:54Two copies.
00:03:57Head for the control point now.
00:03:5920 seconds.
00:04:02Control point, Sierra.
00:04:05Increase your speed to Mach 1-6.
00:04:10Yes, sir.
00:04:15Mach 1-3.
00:04:171.5.
00:04:191-6.
00:04:201.5.
00:04:201.6.
00:04:29Hound Dog, what are you doing?
00:04:41Come in, Hound Dog.
00:04:43Hound Dog, acknowledge.
00:04:46Delta 2, waiting further instructions.
00:04:50Hound Dog, terminate your run.
00:04:51Colonel, what's happening?
00:05:13Hound Dog, pull out of there.
00:05:16Colonel, he's going to hit the canyon walls.
00:05:18Hound Dog, Hound Dog, can you copy?
00:05:26Sam, I'm losing it.
00:05:29Pull up, Hound Dog.
00:05:30Pull up.
00:05:32Listen to the Colonel, Hound Dog.
00:05:34Pull up.
00:05:35Pull up.
00:05:38Damn it.
00:05:40Son of a bitch, Hound Dog.
00:05:42God, no.
00:05:43No.
00:05:43We've done a thorough review of the accident.
00:05:52This is a satellite view of the crash site.
00:05:56It shows no unusual conditions of any kind.
00:06:00No cloud cover.
00:06:02No weather fronts.
00:06:05No heat activity.
00:06:08Or wind shear.
00:06:09There was no equipment malfunction.
00:06:16No atmospheric disturbances.
00:06:20Bottom line, extrinsic factors did not cause the accident.
00:06:28Delta 2 ready for further instructions.
00:06:31Hound Dog, terminate your run.
00:06:34Colonel, what's happening?
00:06:37Hound Dog, pull out of there.
00:06:40Hound Dog.
00:06:41Hound Dog, do you copy?
00:06:42Tom?
00:06:43I'm losing it.
00:06:45Pull up, Hound Dog.
00:06:46Pull up.
00:06:48Listen to the Colonel, Hound Dog.
00:06:49Pull up.
00:06:50Pull up.
00:06:51Pull up.
00:06:54For some unknown reason, Captain Matthews deviated from the flight plan.
00:07:05And panicked at high speed.
00:07:11Virtual reality.
00:07:15Worked perfectly.
00:07:16Excuse me, Colonel.
00:07:17You practiced this run in the simulator rig.
00:07:20Hound Dog knew what to expect.
00:07:22He wasn't 100% a simulator either.
00:07:25That if you have been.
00:07:26Colonel, I know, I know Hound Dog took some chances.
00:07:30But don't you think the VR system could have been partially responsible?
00:07:33No, I don't.
00:07:36The system functioned perfectly.
00:07:41I appreciate your concerns, Captain Waters.
00:07:45I want to assure every one of you that I am overseeing this project, as well as this investigation.
00:07:51If I thought for one moment that any of you boys were in real jeopardy, I'd pull the plug on this puppy quicker and you can say God bless America.
00:08:02Now, Secretary of Defense Spencer testifies before the Senate Budget Committee next week.
00:08:14You all know that he is on a one-man crusade to cut back on electronics programs, starting with ours.
00:08:19If he gets so much as a hint that there is a glitch with virtual reality, I don't think I need to fill in the blanks.
00:08:31Gentlemen, our work here is vital to our country's security.
00:08:36Let's keep a tight lid on it, shall we?
00:08:46We can't afford another estate, Glenn.
00:08:52Mr. Matthews, I'm so sorry about your husband.
00:08:58General Russell, I just don't think it was his fault.
00:09:00No one is trying to lay blame here.
00:09:03I can assure you the Air Force has gone to great pains to determine the cause of your husband's accident.
00:09:10The fighter pilots perform extremely difficult jobs.
00:09:14Unfortunately, danger is a part of that territory.
00:09:18Excuse us.
00:09:30I know, Beth.
00:09:32Some people think he was a real hot shot.
00:09:35I just can't believe the Air Force ruling on this.
00:09:38It's tough.
00:09:39Tom.
00:09:41Tom, something was disturbing him.
00:09:47I know this sounds crazy, but I think that somebody did something to him.
00:09:53What do you mean?
00:09:54He never had any trouble sleeping, and then all of a sudden, he started having this reoccurring nightmare.
00:10:00You'd wake up in the middle of the night screaming.
00:10:03But everybody had bad dreams.
00:10:07These were different.
00:10:18Good morning, gentlemen.
00:10:19We're just about ready.
00:10:25How you feeling, cowboy?

00:19:07Anne
00:19:09i gotta give you one of the flight suits
00:19:14so why the air force?
00:19:16suits. So why the Air Force? I don't know. I guess I didn't have much choice. My father
00:19:26was in the Air Force. It just seemed like the only thing to do. Besides, it's a good
00:19:30way to meet women. Does it always work? Every time. So, what's it like? What's we're like?
00:19:46Flying. Flying jets. It's great. Your passion is just overwhelming. I guess I had a rough
00:20:02week. What happened? I can't tell you. If I did, I'd have to kill you.
00:20:16Not really. What do you do? I am a financial consultant. And right now I'm on loan to a
00:20:29software manufacturer. So, what would you do if you couldn't fly anymore?
00:20:42I don't know. Oh, come on. There's got to be something. I drive cross-country. No map.
00:20:57No destination. Just see where the road takes me. That could be a lonely drive.
00:21:05I'm sorry. It's just a little fast.
00:21:23Should I go?
00:21:36No.
00:21:40I just think you've had too much to drink. You know you shouldn't drive home.
00:21:43Why don't you stay on the couch?
00:21:50I got a better idea. Why don't I sleep in your bed?
00:21:57And you sleep in your bed.
00:22:00Why don't I sleep on the couch and you sleep on the couch?
00:22:26I like my eggs over easy.
00:22:33I like my eggs over easy.
00:22:33Sorry.
00:22:39Why don't I sleep?
00:22:46No.
00:22:48What do you stay on the couch?
00:22:53You why?
00:22:55No!
00:22:56I like your eggs over easy.
00:22:59Put your eggs over easy.
00:23:00SSD.
00:23:00SSD.
00:23:02I think it's just a bad dream.
00:23:09It's okay.
00:23:12It's okay.
00:23:18Yeah.
00:23:19Yeah.
00:23:28You want to tell me about it?
00:23:31No.
00:23:32No.
00:24:02No.
00:24:03No.
00:24:04No.
00:24:05No.
00:24:06No.
00:24:07No.
00:24:08No.
00:24:09No.
00:24:10No.
00:24:11No.
00:24:12No.
00:24:13No.
00:24:14No.
00:24:15No.
00:24:16No.
00:24:17No.
00:24:19No.
00:24:21No.
00:24:22No.
00:26:23All right, asshole.
00:26:25You want to play?
00:26:53Bend it at 3 o'clock.
00:27:05I'm on his tail.
00:27:06This one's mine, At-Law.
00:27:09I'm going after him.
00:27:18Initiating brain stimulation.
00:27:19Colonel Captain Waters was almost under.
00:27:33Cowboy's under.
00:27:40Cowboy, do you have a visual on him?
00:27:42Affirmative.
00:27:45I have him in sight.
00:27:47Okay, now the sucker.
00:27:56Come on, cowboy.
00:27:57Fire on him.
00:27:57What are you waiting for?
00:27:58He's going to fly right into him.
00:28:09Cowboy.
00:28:10Cowboy.
00:28:14I told you, let me handle this.
00:28:18Cowboy, I'm moving in.
00:28:22He's mine, At-Law.
00:28:23Cowboy, I'm locking on to him.
00:28:28If you're not going to take him, I am.
00:28:33Fox 2.
00:28:34Fox 2 misses away.
00:28:35Damn it.
00:28:54That was mine.
00:28:56When were you going to take him out?
00:28:57Next century, cowboy?
00:29:03Cowboy.
00:29:04Cowboy.
00:29:06What happened in there?
00:29:08You tell me.
00:29:10Pissed I took out your target?
00:29:11What are you talking about?
00:29:12Why were you flying like a kamikaze?
00:29:17You don't remember, do you?
00:29:22Maybe you shouldn't fly tomorrow.
00:29:24Maybe you should take some time off.
00:29:27Something is happening with this project.
00:29:30I found some of Hound Dog's notes.
00:29:32He was having nightmares, too.
00:29:34Trouble remembering what happened during the VR sessions.
00:29:37He was losing it.
00:29:38Oh, so I'm losing it?
00:29:39I put words in my mouth, cowboy.
00:29:42It's just that you're not acting like yourself.
00:29:44Yeah, well, don't worry about me.
00:29:45That's my job.
00:29:47Look, I was just trying to help.
00:29:49Yeah, well, worry about yourself.
00:29:53Maybe he was sick.
00:29:54Then why are we all having nightmares?
00:29:56I'm starting to think Beth was right.
00:29:58There's something going on with this VR project.
00:30:01Tom, would you just forget about it, okay?
00:30:03I just can't deal with this anymore.
00:30:08It's a top priority project, Glenn.
00:30:11We have bugs on everyone.
00:30:12Are you still confident you have the water situation under control?
00:30:21Don't worry about it, okay?
00:30:23I'm not worried.
00:30:25Mild concern is probably a more appropriate term.
00:30:28You don't understand.
00:30:33I just want you to have all the information we do.
00:30:36I know how important this project is to your career, Glenn.
00:30:41I hate to see anything untoward happen.
00:30:43I don't know how important this project is to your career.
00:31:13Echo flight, you have clearance to launch.
00:31:27Authentication is Bravo Sierra.
00:31:29Pike control out.
00:31:30Echo flight copies.
00:31:43Echo flight, let's descend to Angels 4.
00:32:05Approaching control point, Charlie.
00:32:07Echo 1, start your run.
00:32:08Echo 1 copies.
00:32:09Here I go.
00:32:10Echo 1 VR system activated.
00:32:25Display checks.
00:32:27No target in sight.
00:32:28Missiles armed.
00:32:42Still no target.
00:32:46Who's this VR power level to 8?
00:32:48Level 8?
00:32:49Yeah.
00:32:50Yeah, do it.
00:32:50Yes, sir.
00:32:57I see it.
00:32:58Target acquired.
00:33:00I'm also getting ground fire.
00:33:03Starting evasive maneuvers.
00:33:09I'll put it through the front door.
00:33:13Missile delay.
00:33:14Bullseye.
00:33:26Perfect visual substitution.
00:33:29Cowboy, you're up next.
00:33:33Yes, sir.
00:33:34Activate default program number two.
00:33:37Default VR system program number two is activated, sir.
00:33:41Echo 2, waiting for instructions.
00:33:48Hiccup heading 057, send to Angels 1, start your run.
00:33:54Roger control.
00:33:55I'm starting my run.
00:33:58Hey, cowboy, where you going?
00:34:00Target range is over here.
00:34:01Hey, cowboy, you want to clue me in?
00:34:11Cowboy!
00:34:18It's on the new course, colonel.
00:34:20Echo 2, echo 2, radio check.
00:34:21Come in.
00:34:23Where are you?
00:34:27Cowboy, this is Outlaw.
00:34:28Come in.
00:34:28Come in.
00:34:31Pipe control, I lost cowboy.
00:34:33I'm making a turn to the north.
00:34:35Echo 1, maintain current heading.
00:34:38Colonel, there's something wrong with cowboy.
00:34:39He's still not responding to my radio calls.
00:34:42Captain, we're handling the situation down here.
00:34:45Hold your original heading.
00:34:47That's an order.
00:34:47Yes, sir.
00:34:49Echo 2.
00:34:52Approaching checkpoint tango.
00:34:54Call back when you get a visual on the target.

00:35:19What's up?
00:35:19Hey, buddy.
00:35:20Where are you?
00:35:22Another Air Force test.
00:35:23Got Route 234.
00:35:25Closed all traffic.
00:35:27It's a thrill a minute.
00:35:29I'm at marker 13, but I don't see you.
00:35:32That's because I'm at mile marker 30.
00:35:35You're supposed to be at 13, Einstein.
00:35:37Nah.
00:35:40Oh, shit.
00:35:40Uh, hold on.
00:35:48What the hell?
00:36:10I have visual by control.
00:36:28Target is an armored vehicle.
00:36:30Stand by Echo 2.
00:36:32Sir, the satellite image is coming in.
00:36:36It's hard to make out.
00:36:38That looks like it.
00:36:39Flight control.
00:36:43Echo 2.
00:36:45Your objective is to destroy the vehicle.
00:36:55Good target acquisition.
00:37:01Colonel, this can't be right.
00:37:03The coordinates are off.
00:37:05Enhance the satellite image.
00:37:08Hurry up.
00:37:10That's a police cruiser.
00:37:15He'll still the way.
00:37:17What's he doing now?
00:37:47His BR power level is too high.
00:37:51Get back to normal.
00:38:08That's a person running.
00:38:13Echo 2, acquiring secondary target.
00:38:16Echo 2.
00:38:17You're the wrong target, dammit.
00:38:18The wrong target.

00:41:18can you think of any other rational explanation i knew cowboy better than anybody he didn't do drugs
00:41:27people aren't always what they seem tom perhaps you didn't know captain riley as well as you thought
00:41:33he didn't do drugs and he wasn't suicidal he was reckless
00:41:40you saw how he flew during the vr session yesterday like hound dog yes cowboy wasn't like hound dog
00:41:49look captain i know this is hard for you to accept sure carl the vr worked great

00:46:15Come and get me.
00:46:22I hate the tailgaters.
00:46:41You should have used your seatbelt, pal.
00:46:57What?
00:47:09You should have used your seatbelt.
00:47:21You should have used your seatbelt.
00:47:37You should have used your seatbelt.
00:47:47You should have used your seatbelt.
00:47:59You should have used your seatbelt.
00:48:15You should have used your seatbelt.
00:48:31You should have used your seatbelt.
00:48:47You should have used your seatbelt.
00:49:05You should have used your seatbelt.
00:49:17I don't know.
00:49:47I've got you now, Anderson.
00:50:00It's very good, Tom.
00:50:01Too bad you weren't smart enough to lock the door.
00:50:04You're a better spy than I am.
00:50:08Give me your gun.
00:50:12What's your story, Caitlin?
00:50:14Leighton James Bond fantasies?
00:50:15It was my job.
00:50:18You have an interesting work ethic.
00:50:20Anderson had to get subjects to respond to certain commands, things they would never do normally.
00:50:25So we had you screw me over in as many positions as possible.
00:50:29You screwed yourself over.
00:50:31You and your paranoia.
00:50:32Why don't you just let things be?
00:50:33I'm turning you in.
00:50:46You all right?
00:50:52Yes, sir.
00:50:53What is this?
00:50:53What's going on?
00:50:54You're under arrest for suspicion of murder.
00:50:56Murder?
00:50:56I received a phone call to Colonel Anderson who was murdered approximately 2,300 hours this evening.
00:51:01What?
00:51:02I've since been made aware that you and Colonel Anderson have been conducting brainwashing experiments with several of our fighter pilots.
00:51:08I just worked for Anderson.
00:51:10And when he became an embarrassment, you killed him.
00:51:11This is a setup.
00:51:16I left Miss Cole's apartment in 2,200 hours.
00:51:22That's a lie.
00:51:23I didn't kill him.
00:51:25It's a lie.
00:51:26I didn't kill him.
00:51:27You killed me.
00:51:28Tom!
00:51:29You killed me!
00:51:33Thanks, General.
00:51:34Like I said, I always take care of my boys.
00:51:42If you excuse me, I'm going to go back to bed.
00:51:49It's imperative that we demonstrate to Secretary Spencer the value of our VR technology.
00:51:54We have to show him a virtual reality picks up where human biology leaves off.
00:52:01It lets us see 100 miles when we can only see one.
00:52:05It creates the sensation of being someplace that we're not.
00:52:10It allows us to react faster, better, than humanly possible.
00:52:17This is the sole purpose of today's mission.
00:52:20You don't have to worry about Colonel Anderson.
00:52:24I'll be flying in his place.
00:52:25Warlord 1 and 2
00:52:42Amber 1 and 2, this is Warlord 1.
00:52:55Stand by for VR transmission.
00:53:04Amber 1, standing by, General.
00:53:06Amber 2, copies.
00:53:07All right, Control, start VR transmission at this time.
00:53:18Transmitting VR routines now.
00:53:21General, clearance to enter the range.
00:53:24Weather conditions are good.
00:53:26Roger, Control.
00:53:27Is there any conflicting traffic in the area?
00:53:29No factor at this time, sir.
00:53:31Secretary Spencer will be passing by the southern boundary in 10 minutes.
00:53:35Call sign, Rainmaker.
00:53:38We'll stay clear.
00:53:45Amber, flight to get your VR now.
00:53:48Amber 1, copy.
00:53:50Two copies.
00:53:59Okay, boys, let's show them what the VR can do.
00:54:02Roger.
00:54:03Hey, Flash, you ready to rock and roll?
00:54:07Hey, man, what are you, deaf?
00:54:10Flash, what the hell are you doing back there?
00:54:11Shit, I'm getting a missile lock from you.
00:54:26What are you doing, man?
00:54:27Come on, talk to me, damn it.
00:54:30Initiate battle code X-ray.
00:54:32Roger, Warlord.
00:54:35No!
00:54:38Warlord 1, this is Control.
00:54:40General, uh, General, sir, it appears that Amber 2 just fired at Amber 1.
00:54:45Please advise me of your situation.
00:54:47Over.
00:54:50Damn it.
00:54:51See if you can find battle code X-ray.
00:54:59Damn it, Flash, break it off!
00:55:01Break it off, you son of a bitch!
00:55:06Amber 2, carry out your mission.
00:55:10Damn it, General, call them off!
00:55:19That's a negative.
00:55:20You're in the way, Tom.
00:55:28All right, you crazy bastard.
00:55:35Damn it, Flash!
00:55:35I'm on your 6.
00:55:37Break it off, do you hear me?
00:55:39Come on, I'll bring you down if I have to.
00:55:42I have my orders.
00:55:45I'm taking you out, you bastard.
00:55:46Now get out of the damn plane.
00:55:50Missile away!
00:55:52Do you hear me?
00:55:53Get out, Flash!
00:55:54Bail out!
00:55:56Bail out!
00:55:57God damn it!
00:56:09Get rescue on the horn.
00:56:11Did you find anything?
00:56:12Just this.
00:56:13Something about classified codes.
00:56:17Fight control, everyone has gone renegade.
00:56:20Here's a threat to all aircraft in the area.
00:56:22Damn you, General, you're the one who's out of control, you lying son of a bitch.
00:56:30General?
00:56:31What's the location of Rainmaker?
00:56:34He's skirting the southern boundary, sir.
00:56:36Control, this is outlaw.
00:56:38There's a woman being held in security.
00:56:39Her name is Caitlin Cole.
00:56:41Ignore that control.
00:56:42She was working for Colonel Anderson.
00:56:47She can tell you everything.
00:56:50Give in, Tom.
00:56:51Relax.
00:56:52You can do it, but you're duty.
00:56:54Yes, sir.
00:56:56Good, Tom.
00:56:57You're about to make history.
00:56:59What's he saying?
00:57:02Warlord One, this is control.
00:57:03Could you repeat?
00:57:04Over.
00:57:10I need a target, General.
00:57:12Turn to heading 1-5-7.
00:57:151-5-7, roger.
00:57:20General, sir, that's Rainmaker's location.
00:57:24General?
00:57:27General, this is pipe control.
00:57:28Come in, over.
00:57:31Damn it.
00:57:33Call security.
00:57:34Find out if they're holding a Caitlyn Cole.
00:57:36If they are, get her up here.
00:57:42Rainmaker, this is pipe control with a high-priority warning.
00:57:49Come in.
00:57:50Pipe control, this is Rainmaker.
00:57:52Go ahead.
00:57:54Approaching renegade F-16 with hostile intent being pursued by Mirage fighter.
00:57:59Take evasive action.
00:58:00Now.
00:58:02Against an F-16?
00:58:03This is a Learjet.
00:58:05You do understand we have a high-priority passenger on board this aircraft?
00:58:10Uh, yes, sir, I do.
00:58:12Okay, control.
00:58:13What's the distance on that F-16?
00:58:1425 miles and closing on full burner.
00:58:17Come on.
00:58:47Control, he's gaining on us.
00:58:55Sergeant, here's the woman you were asking for.
00:58:58What do you want, Sergeant?
00:58:59We got a hell of a situation here, man.
00:59:03Captain Waters shot down Captain Tate.
00:59:07He said he was attacked on orders from the General.
00:59:09He said you might know something about it.
00:59:13Captain Waters is probably right.
00:59:16Could it have something to do with these codes?
00:59:18What codes?
00:59:19They come up each time before the attacks.
00:59:22I can't override them and I can't break in.
00:59:25I can.
00:59:27Do it, soldier.
00:59:33Are you in contact with Captain Waters?
00:59:34Ceratic.
00:59:35Get him.
00:59:37Amber One, this is Pike Control. Over.
00:59:41Amber One, this is Pike Control.
00:59:43Please acknowledge.
00:59:45We're not going to last much longer.
01:00:01It's just like the simulator, Tom.
01:00:03There's no difference.
01:00:05I'm losing lock on him.
01:00:06Tom, the time has come to send a message to the secretary.
01:00:21What's he talking about?
01:00:22Who's on that other plane?
01:00:24The secretary of defense.
01:00:27He's trying to kill the secretary.
01:00:29Jesus.
01:00:30Tom, can you hear me?
01:00:36Tom, answer me.
01:00:40Tom.
01:00:43Tom.
01:00:45Tom, this is Caitlin.
01:00:47If you can hear me, please acknowledge.
01:00:49Carry out your orders, Tom.
01:00:50I just about have it.
01:01:10I'm in.
01:01:11Tom, listen to me.
01:01:21The number's a code.
01:01:23It's a brainwashing code.
01:01:24Tom, it doesn't matter.
01:01:26This is something we have to do.
01:01:27You were right, Tom.
01:01:28There is something going on.
01:01:30You're being programmed by Breslau.
01:01:31You're on a collision course with the secretary of defense.
01:01:34You've got to pull up, Tom.
01:01:39You've got to pull up.
01:01:40Stay on target.
01:01:41Tom, please pull up.
01:01:51Stop your attack, Tom.
01:01:52Pull up.
01:01:58No!
01:02:01Dammit, I'm very disappointed in you, Tom.
01:02:04Okay, Control, this is Rainmaker.
01:02:10Get us out of here now.
01:02:13Rainmaker, this is Pike Control.
01:02:15Proceed to coordinates 2, Niner, 2.
01:02:18Sergeant?
01:02:19Stand by, Rainmaker.
01:02:20What is it?
01:02:21I have Warlord on tactical intercept with Rainmaker.
01:02:25Shit.
01:02:26General, what are you doing?
01:02:29Keeping America strong, son.
01:02:31I can't allow any one man to compromise that.
01:02:34Oh, my God.
01:02:36You better alert base command.
01:02:40Rainmaker, this is Pike Control on guard.
01:02:43Warning, warning.
01:02:44Approaching Mirage fighter with hostile intent.
01:02:47Acknowledge, over.
01:02:48Now it's the Mirage?
01:02:49What the hell are you idiots doing down there?
01:02:55Outlaw, this is Pike Control.
01:02:57General Breslau is on an intercept course with the Secretary of Defense.
01:03:00Acknowledge, over.
01:03:03Acknowledge, outlaw, over.
01:03:04Do you read, over.
01:03:08Tom, this is Caitlin.
01:03:09If you hear me, please respond.
01:03:13Caitlin?
01:03:17Turn off Tom's VR.
01:03:19What?
01:03:19Turn it off!
01:03:25Tom, it's Caitlin.
01:03:26Can you hear me?
01:03:28Yeah.
01:03:29Warlord at 20 nautical miles, then closing.
01:03:37Tom, you have to get to Breslau.
01:03:39He's trying to kill Secretary Spencer.
01:03:41Do you remember what just happened?
01:03:43Um, Flash attacked me.
01:03:47I shot him down.
01:03:50That's right, that's right.
01:03:51But you had to do it.
01:03:52Breslau programmed him to kill you.
01:03:54Those numbers and your display are mind control codes.
01:03:57Ten nautical miles and closing.
01:03:59You're right, Tom.
01:04:00There was something wrong.
01:04:02I only worked for Anderson.
01:04:03I don't think he even knew what Breslau was doing.
01:04:06They lied to me.
01:04:08They were controlling you.
01:04:10Outlaw, this is Pike Control.
01:04:13Is that you, Wyatt?
01:04:14Yeah, Captain, it's me.
01:04:16What she said is true.
01:04:18Warlord, five nautical miles.
01:04:22I'm on my way.
01:04:28Control, my weapons won't arm.
01:04:31Your weapons won't arm unless you're in VR.
01:04:33That was my idea.
01:04:34Control, turn my VR back on.
01:04:37No, Tom, you can't.
01:04:38Breslau can feed you codes.
01:04:40You see, Tom, it's sort of a cat's 22.
01:04:41Turn on your VR and I'll break you.
01:04:43Get it off.
01:04:44You're helpless.
01:04:46Power me up, Wyatt.
01:04:47No!
01:04:49Just do it.
01:04:50That's an order.
01:05:01Control, where's our health?
01:05:06I got Warlord in my sights.
01:05:08I'm moving in.
01:05:09He's jamming me.
01:05:19I can't get a missile lock.
01:05:20I'm switching the guns.
01:05:22It won't be necessary.
01:05:23Tom, do you see that number flashing?
01:05:35Numbers?
01:05:38Tom, that's a transition code.
01:05:40You've been programmed to follow signals following this number.
01:05:42Do you understand that?
01:05:45Yeah.
01:05:46You do what's right, Tom.
01:05:48That's what you've been trained for.
01:05:50I'm doing it.
01:05:57Damn it!
01:05:57Damn!
01:06:18I should have taken you out of the program a long time ago.
01:06:29I'll do it now.
01:06:30Warlord's locking on the outlaw.
01:06:42Outlaws can't be heroes, Tom.
01:06:45Missile away.
01:06:46Missile away.
01:06:47Get the hell out of there!
01:06:48Is this how you take care of your boys, General?
01:07:03You're goddamn right!
01:07:18Son of a bitch!
01:07:48No.
01:08:12Tom?
01:08:13Oh, God.
01:08:18That's the same code Cowboy got just before he killed himself.
01:08:23Turn it off. Turn off the goddamn VR.
01:08:28I can't. The general must have locked us out.
01:08:48Tom, now listen to me. That's the suicide code.
01:08:51Don't do this, Tom. Just put the gun down.
01:08:54Do you hear me? Put the gun down.
01:08:57Tom, answer me.
01:08:59Tom!
01:09:02Don't be like Cowboy.
01:09:04Just think for yourself, Tom. Just think for yourself.
01:09:07You don't have to die like that.
01:09:09What the hell do you believe in, Tom?
01:09:11What fighting you want someone to fight with?
01:09:13Is that what you need? Well, goddamn it.
01:09:15Listen to me. I will fight with you, Tom.
01:09:17Listen to me. I will fight with you, you weak bastard.
01:09:40What'd you call me?
01:09:47What'd you call me?
01:09:51What'd you call me?
01:10:01I call me.
01:10:01Hey, gotcha.
01:10:18So, call me Tom, would you?
01:10:21Where you headed, Tom?
01:10:23I figured, uh, we'd check out the countryside from a different perspective.
01:10:27I got something for you.
01:10:30Here you go.
01:10:32My two minutes.
01:10:35You sure?
01:10:36Yep, I'm sure.
01:10:39He's not gonna be needing it where we're going.
01:10:48Tom?
01:10:58Dad!
01:10:59I'm sure I'm going to go on a joke.
01:11:04I'm You.
01:11:04I'm too wide.
01:11:05I'm stillé.
01:11:06I'm stillé.
01:11:06I'm stillé.
01:11:07I'm stillé.
01:11:07I'm stillé...
