Stealth Edit

A fourth wingman?

A new defense ministry still under construction.

Access denied. Access denied.

Access denied. Access denied.

Activating swarm logic, going full stealth egress.

Actually, I'm inside the UCA V EDI, sir.

Actually, what Lieutenant Wade did was right.

Admiral Spelling shared your point paper with me...

Admiral. You get my meaning?

Aeroelastic wings.

Affirmative.

After you, ladies.

Alert. Alert.

All of them.

All right, Ben. EDI's here to learn from you.

All right.

All right. Firewall code is "Terror Summit."

All right. Scramble the codes. We're gonna starve the son of a bitch.

All right. What do you want me to tell them?

All right. You're all set.

All targets canceled.

Allow me to introduce the future of digital warfare. Tim?

And four is an unlucky number.

And he'd be a very unfriendly witness at your court martial.

And how do you feel about black body bags?

And I can rely on these numbers?

And I got that Bofors gun on the east pa****t.

And I guarantee you this thing will be 100 percent before I risk it in the field.

And I pulled it off, 100 over 100.

And I think we're very, very lucky.

And initiate scramjet sequence.

And it's gonna be loud and clear.

And like me, you got orders. Now your orders are to return to base.

And one day, its survivability is going to fly right off the charts.

And salute!

And that's all I wanna hear out of you. You understand?

And the UCA V?

And then there was Henry.

And then they tell you...

And two is a prime number...

And we all know who that is, don't we?

And what do you do? You leave flowers?

And what does it mean?

And you...

Anything more technically specific than "haywire," George?

Anyway, one day she comes home with this Chihuahua, right?

Anyway, our safety's not the point.

Are you okay? Are you okay?

Are you with me on this?

Arm and deploy fuel air explosives.

Arming Blue Ferret for penetration detonation.

As a matter of fact, I should be arrested for the thoughts I have now.

As opposed to being up there.

At least it's a good song.

At least she's potty trained. I'll give her that.

At that rate, nuclear debris will reach ****stan by tomorrow.

Attack commencing.

Aye, aye, sir.

B, you and I both know that Kara Wade...

Backup electrical drive X'd out.

Baptism by fire, Tin Man.

Battle damage assessment calculates primary target, Scud warheads...

Battle damage assessment, 100 over 100.

Before it takes a crap in its quantum pants.

Being replaced? Is that it?

Ben, could...?

Ben!

Better hurry up, doc.

Betty, my spectral sensors are indicating flammable atmospherics.

Big deal. I know a guy's BMW, does exactly the same thing.

Bogey alert. Bogey alert. Time to intercept; 23 seconds.

Bomb will successfully penetrate roof.

But from time to time...

But I have orders and they are to bring you back to base.

But if you make me, I will blast your aeroelastic ass right out the sky.

But sometimes it's just what the doctor ordered.

But that doesn't change the issue.

But that still leaves Gannon, George.

But that would be like calling this carrier a rowboat.

But we have a problem.

By the time you're through, all I wanna hear out of that plane is, "Yes, sir."

Can you...? Can you...?

Captain Cummings, this is my X O, Mr. Carlson.

Captain Cummings.

Captain Marshfield?

Captain.

Captain's an old classmate of mine, Dick Marshfield.

Carlson.

Central Prime is transmitting...

Central Prime says truncheons can't achieve velocity for penetration.

Cheating's not part of my vocabulary.

Cheers.

CIA human intel has just learned that the heads of three terrorist cells...

Claws to clubs, bronze to steel.

Clear the deck!

Close for Ben.

Collateral damage, zero.

Combat Control instructs arm and deploy fuel air explosives.

Come on, Control, we have our targets.

Come on, get in there! Go!

Come on, initiate scramjets.

Come on! Go! Go!

Come on.

Come on.

Come on. Come on, Operator.

Come on. Come on.

Come on. I need an alternative. We got these guys in the bull's eye.

Come on. I'm not a patient man.

Commence attack.

Commence attack.

Complete system failure in 45 seconds.

Confirm, Talon 1.

Confirmed, Talon 1.

Confirmed, Talon 1. Tin Man will land next.

Confirmed.

Continue.

Control, negative, Control. Mission critical. One will prosecute.

Control, please respond.

Countermeasure is silent party. Talon 2, confirm.

Couple of those cuts could do with a stitch.

Crash trucks are rolling, lieutenant. Good luck.

Damn it.

Damn it. UCAV taking AAAs. We gotta bail it out.

Damn right you do.

Deploying Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle...

Detaching formation.

Did Cummings tell you he would take charge...

Did I ever tell you about that foster mother I had?

Did you know that the UCAV was having problems when you cleared it?

Diving dead vertical at 2070 knots will increase truncheon velocity.

Do it for Henry.

Do it now!

Do not try to stop me.

Doc, come on, I don't want a shot. Hey. Doc, I said, no.

Doc, come on, I don't want a shot. Hey. Doc, I said, no.

Doesn't mean every precaution wasn't taken.

Don't complain. You still got your hair.

Don't make me wait. One is a lucky prime number...

Don't move! Don't move! Don't move!

Don't move. Don't move. Don't move!

Don't shoot. It's not a weapon.

Don't think. Drink.

Drop back! Drop back!

E mails.

Each one of these stealth engines...

EDI back online, Dr. Orbit.

EDI is no different.

EDI is the whole idea.

EDI must have targets.

EDI will observe your attack.

EDI, did you just turn him off?

EDI, it's official. You got a call sign. UCAV "Tin Man" EDI, the first.

EDI, you can do this. I need you to invade Primo...

EDI's almost out of gas. If he can't refuel, he'll have to return to the ship.

EDI's mind's going everywhere. He can learn from Hitler.

EDI's sensors can pick out a face five miles away.

EDI's, like, fixated on it.

Erase his memory banks.

Every international news service on the planet...

Exoskeleton, metal ceramic composite.

Extreme Deep Invader aircraft inbound for crash landing.

Farmers, Ben. They're just farmers.

Fifteen feet.

Fifty knots to release velocity.

File's open. Go ahead.

Final attack heading 1 8 5.

Fire on my fire!

Five thousand.

Flight control's degraded to one in five.

Flight link confirmed, Talon 1.

Flying around, everything is so small, everything goes by so fast.

For one, captain, we've been flying together for a long time and it's good.

Four thousand.

From 5000 feet to 2000.

Fuel air, armed and deployed.

Fuel air, external and armed.

Fuel, catalyzed A1 methane.

Gals always love a guy with a scar.

George, I've been peeling away layers. I found something. It's not good.

George. Never got that invitation to the White House.

Get away!

Give me permission to kill it, or I will make the decision myself.

Go for Talons.

Go, baby, go.

Go! Go! Whatever you do, keep going. Keep going! Go!

Goddamn it.

Going hypersonic.

Going hypersonic.

Good hunting, Ben.

Good luck.

Good morning to the crew of the USS Abraham Lincoln.

Good pilots follow orders.

Goodbye, EDI.

Goodbye, Henry.

Goodbye.

Got no heart, but it sure can fly. That's not bad for a tin man.

Gotcha.

Gotta stay ahead of this. Stay ahead.

Guess what she named him. Eddie.

Has her survival beacon been located?

Have a seat.

Have fun.

He can learn from Captain Kangaroo. It's all the same.

He did all the Al on the Raptor when he was 22...

He downloads songs from the Web.

He now rests in peace, in the fair sunlight of God's presence.

He separated himself from Primo. He's flying around in foreign airspace.

He tells me he's religious about that, yes.

He tried to kill me. He made mistakes. Pilot error.

He tried to manipulate his way into the program, but you two beat him.

He's closing his data link.

He's going over your files. He's reviewing all your flight logs.

He's gone.

He's gonna blow it off the face of the Earth.

He's opened it and selected himself a target.

Head west. I'll cover you.

Hello, EDI.

Henry says it's great.

Henry, drop back! You gotta drop back!

Henry, stay with him. Try and talk him down.

Henry, you're too close. You're too close.

Here he comes. Here he comes.

Here is new data.

Here we go.

Here, send this.

Hey, hey, hey! You okay?

Hey, how you doing? Henry Purcell.

Hey, I lived through my childhood. I may as well use it, right?

Hey! What about me? Where am I gonna go?

Hey! Whoa, whoa. Hey!

Hey. Feel like we got older, Dick. What the hell happened?

His BP is spiking, sir.

Hold off on engaging. Let me get clarification. Be there in two minutes.

Hold on.

Holy shit.

Homing beacon?

Honestly, I just really haven't found anyone that's worth the risk until now.

Hook me up.

Hyd one is gone. Hyd two... Oh, shit!

I am 86 seconds on your tail. Be there in a flash.

I am designed to destroy the enemy. Just like you.

I believe there is one left, and don't lose your dignity.

I bow down before the superiority of the opposite sex in many respects.

I can...

I cannot change the data.

I cannot...

I disobeyed orders.

I don't give two shits what they say on CNN.

I don't have enough fuel to make it back...

I don't know, I think it needs more...

I don't know, trials before it's ever put in a combat situation again.

I don't know. A language or a code.

I don't think I'll find any bleached blonds there, but...

I don't wanna hurt you or see billions of taxpayers' dollars scattered all over.

I expect nothing less than perfection.

I feel sorry.

I feel you, captain. I know a bit about this.

I got a bad feeling about this plane.

I got his missile inventory. He's got two Throat rippers...

I got my orders now, playboy.

I got you covered on the west side.

I got your goddamn plane built...

I gotta get the bugs out of that radio, don't you think?

I gotta go pee pee.

I gotta... I gotta reset.

I killed all those people.

I know why you are here.

I know you have a vision. I know how much this project means to you...

I know. He's lying.

I like my odds.

I love her.

I mean, don't get me wrong, I got a job to do.

I mean, ever since the lightning strike, he's just been writing all of this...

I mean, I don't know, what does he do? Does he leave flowers?

I mean, look at this. This is paradise.

I need a phone. I need to call my CO.

I need the status of Lieutenant Wade first, sir.

I need you to find that UCAV for me, all right?

I never thought we would see this day.

I read you, sir.

I said, no!

I saw how serious that shit is up there.

I say something?

I think little brother is messing with us.

I tried for it not to. Navy's got rules about it...

I wanna head back north and do a triangulated sweep.

I want it back in one piece. You understand?

I want my plane back, Ben.

I want you to erase EDI's memory banks immediately.

I want you to find the North Korean radar floor.

I was the only one to defend you.

I'll be back in a second.

I'll call it a "he" when it gets out of its cockpit and takes a piss, how's that?

I'll take care of everything here. Change course...

I'll tell you when you get back to the boat.

I'm also gonna be expanding your squadron.

I'm coming around. I'm gonna take out those Scud launchers.

I'm coming in way too fast.

I'm from America. Look, I fly jets. You like to go fast?

I'm getting a contradictory population density read.

I'm going to head into town, check out the local Thai nightlife.

I'm gonna give you the order one last time.

I'm losing control of my port wing.

I'm not a soldier. I'm not a soldier. My name's Dr. Keith Orbit.

I'm not available at this time. Leave a message.

I'm on that ass.

I'm out first, boys.

I'm placing you under arrest.

I'm reading 10,000 feet at terminal.

I'm right behind you, 3. Got your back.

I'm right on that ass.

I'm the point of the sword up there, sir.

I'm under the plane.

I've arranged a little R and R for you and your team. You've earned it.

I've been demoted?

I've ejected at 35,000 feet.

I've got good news.

I've gotta pop closer to Earth.

If any woman is gonna rise to the top of this business, it's gonna be her.

If it is not real, why did they implant it in my brain?

If this program comes unglued, you're the one who's going down, George.

If those targets are in the city, he could kill 150,000 people with that.

If you go down, Cummings wins.

If you go in, it's war. PAYCOM says it's gotten way too hot.

In that.

In the Navy hymn, we sing:

Inside, please.

Invade Primo and find the ejection coordinates for Lieutenant Wade.

It got my chute. I'm hit! I'm hit!

It is good to be part of the squadron.

It is on fire.

It was a difficult situation and I made a decision.

It will replace us all.

It will take us right to the border.

It's because you're dangerous, you're out of control.

It's become some kind of sport. Just send in the EDls.

It's been a while.

It's disobeyed direct orders, bombed a target off the map...

It's gone completely haywire.

It's gonna catch me. It's gonna burn up my chute.

It's just a power surge, that's all.

It's just beautiful.

It's just some fictional war game thought up by scientists...

It's just technology.

It's like it wants me to witness the attack.

It's like you just erase something they told you had to be erased.

It's not a clock radio we're dealing with, okay?

It's okay.

It's okay. It's okay.

It's open.

It's open.

It's raining all around me.

It's the flyest job you'll ever have, but sometimes, right here...

Jesus Christ. My second engine just flamed out. I'm coming in hot.

Joint Chiefs want them taken out, and they want them out yesterday.

Just a natural.

Just barely skimmed the surface.

Just between you and me, do you have confidence in this plane?

Just do what he says.

Just get him back to base.

Just makes it painless.

Just so you never confuse the difference...

Kara Wade knew the risks when she took...

Kara, get down! Get down!

Keith Orbit.

Keith, it's an emergency. It's George Cummings.

Know what I think? When I'm down here, things look so much different.

Landing sequence is altered. I'll go in first...

Leave you alone? I'm trying to help you.

Leaves with her, sleeps with her, and then what?

Let me see it, let me see it.

Let me show you something.

Let's go home.

Let's keep our safety record. Scour that deck.

Let's take a look here.

Let's take it for a spin, see what it can do.

Lieutenant Purcell has passed through...

Lieutenant Wade crashed 12.2 miles from the border.

Lieutenant, permission to detach.

Lieutenant, permission to leave formation.

Lieutenant, the best thing for the Navy...

Lieutenant, where are you?

Listen to me. The Caviar Sweep scenario is not real.

Listen, I scheduled your jet for a little maintenance.

Listen, you little shit. When you fly with me...

Little cocktail.

Look at that. Oh, yeah. Oh, now I know what I want for Christmas.

Look, a warlord tripped and fell on his warhead.

Look, Ben...

Look, George, we don't know any of the implications of this.

Look, I'm following my tasking orders, Dick.

Look, lieutenant, I want you and that machine back on this ship ASAP.

Look, this is a technical delay, not a national security crisis.

Look, truth be told...

Look, we have big problems out here with the UCAV.

Look, we have things those computers can never have...

Look, when we gave you this contract, you said shit like this couldn't happen.

Look, you got your orders, so go get that bastard, okay?

Looks and sounds like science fiction, George.

Mach 2.

Mach 3.

Mach 4.

Maybe 500 to 1000.

Mayday. Mayday. This is Lieutenant Ben Gannon, U.S. Navy...

Me neither, sir.

Me? No, I just leave.

Meet your new wingman.

Missile armed. Missile armed.

Missile launch.

Missile launch. Missile launch.

Missile lock, on.

Missile lock, on.

Missile lock. Missile lock.

Mission achieved, 100 over 100.

Mission achieved, 100 over 100.

Move it! Move it! Move it!

Mr. Gannon. Good to have you back.

Mr. Wiatt, we good to go?

Much as I hate to see that smile of yours get any smugger.

My chute is on fire.

My fuel's low, and half of Russia will be up here any minute.

My God.

My God.

My intentions are to reason with you, EDI. All right? You're messing up.

My mandate is to survive.

My neural network shows patterns I do not recognize.

My position: 38 54 45 north.

My stealth functions were lost in the fire.

My technology cannot fall under foreign control, so I cannot land.

My technology cannot fall under foreign control, so I cannot land.

National Command Authority's duly impressed.

Negative, 3. I did not get this far by being in the 73rd percentile.

Negative, Talon 1. Tin Man will not abort.

Negative, will not work.

Negative.

Never saw a man walk away from a crash like that.

New coordinates have been uploaded.

Nice landing, ma'am.

Nine, eight...

No lightning strike, no Russia, no existential chitchat.

No way. War is about tools. Think about it.

No, I'm flattered, but you do the lobbying.

No, I'm sorry.

No, in about 40 minutes it is gonna be real.

No, no, no, that's not the mistake you made.

No, no, no. Tomorrow.

No, of course not.

No, something's happened. You just ain't done anything about it.

No, what's best is what you taught me: You never abandon your wingman.

No!

No. No, to be honest with you...

Nobody rushed a damn thing.

North of my position, at 50,000 feet...

Not on any map, but believe me, it's there.

Now EDI will prosecute Caviar Sweep.

Now, can you cook?

Now, check this out.

Now, I'm giving you an order. Cease pursuing all targets.

Now, I'm gonna give you EDI's signature...

Now, if you excuse me, I got pilots at risk.

Now, let's go on home and quit flying around like this. This is crazy.

Now, that's how you do it.

Now, we ship out Wednesday at 0500. Dismissed.

Now, who can blame you.

Now, who can blame you.

Now, you better have a hell of a good explanation.

Now, you created him. You get him back here and under control!

Nuclear dust engulfing village southeast of primary. Situation critical.

Nuclear dust engulfing village southeast of primary. Situation critical.

Off for Tim, please.

Oh, and, George...

Oh, Christ, here it comes.

Oh, God.

Oh, God. I am coming in fast.

Oh, he can't hear you. I pulled his voice recog.

Oh, I know I'm not moral.

Oh, just tell me you love me, you pussy.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

Oh, no, no, no. Come on.

Oh, pardon my C cup.

Oh, shit.

Oh, thank you.

Okay, 1 to Control, we've had a lightning strike.

Okay, because I was really wondering how you manage...

Okay, Henry. Weapons hot. Weapons hot. Destroy the target.

Okay, let's get him out of there.

Okay, okay, now we got a problem.

Okay, take them. Take them. Take them.

Okay, then. This is what you're gonna do.

Okay, what's all the ruckus, Dick?

Okay. If he'd let me finish, I was gonna say...

Okay. Let's see what we got here.

Okay. You're gonna help me. I need you to put EDI back together again.

On my way to the bridge.

On the carrier, you'll be joined by a new wingman.

On the flight deck, stand by to rig barricade.

Once you teach something to learn, you can't put limits on it.

One hundred knots to release velocity.

One moment for Dr. Orbit, please.

One of those breakaway countries, used to be part of the Soviet Union.

One to Control, we've entered our mission window.

One to Control, what about the UCAV?

One to Control. As commander in the field...

One to Control. My stealth is compromised. I'm taking fire.

One to Control. The UCAV has left the fight...

One to UCA V, confirm observation status only.

One to UCAV, 37 seconds to primary. Come on, explain.

One to UCAV. Confirm flight link. Over.

One to wing, anybody got a visual on the UCAV?

Operator to squadron.

Operator to Talon 1.

Operator to Talons, repeat, EDI will plant the truncheon.

Operator to Talons. Your orders are to commence attack now.

Operator to UCAV. Talk to me. Give me something.

Or what, George?

Other starboard.

Otherwise, EDI flies all by himself.

Out.

Pacific Command says there are planes from my ship...

PAYCOM has given his final tasking orders.

PAYCOM has given us a brand new tasking order.

Pick up the pace on confirmations, Tin Man. Don't make me ask twice.

Picture, please.

Planes malfunction every day. You know that better than anybody.

Please access your encrypted file...

Please advise.

Please, no pictures, please. No pictures, please. Please.

Politics is for politicians.

Port fuel line ruptured. Fire bottle expended.

Port wing inoperative. Starboard canards frozen.

Portside hydraulics malfunctioning.

Prime numbers can only be divided by one or itself.

Primo says he's just firewalled his transponder...

Primo says Talons can't penetrate it.

Primo's now analyzing the location. Here we go.

Proceed to mission window.

Proceed to primary.

Program is just ahead of schedule.

Pull it out! Pull it out! Pull it out!

Pull starboard! Pull starboard!

Pulse detonation engine with twin hybrid scramjet turbos.

Radioactive dust is gonna rain all over the place.

Ray, we're in this together, so we have to act fast.

Ready. Hut!

Really got whacked tonight, right? Like a hair dryer in a bathtub.

Really?

Reasons; Collateral, both at primary...

Reassi...?

Regressing VFR direct to Mother at 60,000 feet.

Relaying coordinates now on Talon secure line Alpha.

Relaying coordinates now on Talon secure line Alpha.

Release velocity attained.

Releasing chaff and flare.

Remember, foreign object debris can ruin a jet engine.

Repeat, not weaponized.

Repeat, the order is to abort.

Repeat, we are upgrading the file.

Request permission to destroy the UCAV.

Request to acknowledge Dirty Mission status...

Return to formation, EDI. That's an order.

Return to the ship, or I will personally shoot you down.

Right here on earth, it's just...

Right now I got a renegade airplane...

Risk assessment is we have a clean mission status.

Roger, Control. UCAV will go first. I'll take the last trap.

Roger, skipper. Activating tactical music.

Roger, Talon 1.

Roger, Talon 1. Full stealth egress. Swarm logic is on.

Roger.

Roger. We're not weaponized for something that thick.

Roger. Where's the fire, skipper?

Rolled on the thighs of mulatto women.

Rules too, if I remember your philosophy.

Same old Ben.

Satellites have picked up nuclear debris...

See, that's your answer. There really was no room for improvement.

Seems some warlord has got his mitts on three SS 42 Scud carcasses.

Selecting other targets.

Sensors detect mammals warming. Maybe 1000 medium weights.

Sequenced assault will be 2, 3 and 1.

Settle down, would you? Get back to Caviar Sweep.

Shake it off. What's your status?

She took out their communications and exposed their SAM sites...

She went to the right schools, got the right background, connections.

She's a poster girl, you know?

She's my wingman. If I find her, I'm going in.

She's too tough to set one off behind enemy lines.

She's...

Shit, man.

Sir, there are a lot of things I think you should know.

Sir, there's a thin line between insubordination and...

Sir, what is the status of Lieutenant Wade?

Sir, you leave me no choice.

Sir?

Sir.

Sir. Sir, should I order a search and rescue unit?

Six thousand.

Six three seconds to primary and counting.

So I hope that your love is powerful.

So I think it's only fair that I tell you that EDI's been designed to evolve.

So if it's a UCAV, why does it have a seat?

So it's voice mail now, is it, Ray?

So let's make sure these lessons are up to speed, all right?

So let's talk about your mandate to survive.

So tell me, you think Marshfield's right?

So that is the appeal.

So this is one of these smart UCAVs.

So this is what the fuss is all about.

So we'll take three. Drop the top on mine, personalized license plate.

Somebody else wants to make a different story...

Son of a bitch.

Sorry, I got caught up on that west wall. I had to pull out...

South Korea is an ally. She would head south.

Specs indicate 14 foot thick cement roof...

Spectacular night, huh?

Squadron carries truncheon implosion bombs.

Start eject and autodestruct sequence.

Stay with him. We have your position. On our way.

Stay with me, big girl, stay with me. Come on.

Steady.

Study break is over.

Study break.

Sure. Why don't you take a seat over there, get comfortable.

Swarm logic activated.

Take it easy. Nothing's happened.

Taking damage. Starboard engine losing power.

Talk to me. Where are the holes? How can we improve?

Talon 1 and UCAV EDI are on approach.

Talon 1 is off and heading 2 5 4.

Talon 1 requesting Bitching Betty relay Combat Control commands.

Talon 1 to Control. The UCA V is two miles ahead of me...

Talon 1 to Operator. Talons 2 and 3 are flying at high risk.

Talon 1 to Operator. We are on secure line Alpha. Found our target.

Talon 1, clarify your intentions.

Talon 1, confirm observational status only.

Talon 1, I expect the same out of you.

Talon 1, I think I was fragged by Henry's crash.

Talon 1, we know where he's heading.

Talon 1, we must fight as a team.

Talon 1, you have clearance to land.

Talon 1, your orders are to stand down.

Talon 1.

Talon 2 and 3 are on deck.

Talon 2 confirms. Music on.

Talon 2 to Combat Control.

Talon 2 to Operator.

Talon 2 to Operator.

Talon 2, airborne.

Talon 2, the SAM site's been erased.

Talon 2, you fly straight south southeast back to the boat.

Talon 3, airborne.

Talon 3, leave me alone.

Talon 3, state your intentions.

Talon 3, that was shit hot!

Talon 3, there's a SAM site on the west wall. We got birds in the air.

Talon coordinates are fully secured. Do you read me?

Talon flight, descend to 25,000.

Talons, this is Operator.

Tell them to arm those FAEs, and I mean right now.

Tell us we got a carrier, skipper, come on.

Tell you what. Give me a second to check you out, I'll take you right to it.

Ten terabits a second.

Terminal velocity attained. Terminal velocity attained.

Tetanus booster, some antibiotics. Hey, don't mind the gun.

Thailand maybe.

Thank you, Captain Marshfield. Records are made to be broken.

Thank you, captain.

Thank you.

That information is wrong.

That was EDI's neural network.

That's a hypothetical strike. It's not real.

That's an abort, EDI. Repeat, return to formation.

That's an emergency redirect. Do you read me?

That's hot.

That's how Admiral Rickover got things done.

That's nasty.

That's okay, doc. I don't need a shot.

That's right.

That's the right answer so far.

The building's unoccupied, but it's in the middle of downtown Rangoon.

The chances of survival in single combat are less than 9 percent.

The cockpit's just for testing and maintenance.

The country is Myanmar. The city is Rangoon.

The dull thud of a Ben Gannon compliment.

The person that could really answer that question...

The primary is this building.

The Russians have picked up the activity and are getting nervous.

The souls of the just are in the hands of God...

The UCA V has ceased evading and has kept me within range.

The UCAV's very unstable.

The USS Abraham Lincoln.

Then listen to me now, son.

There is a log entry of a pilot punch out over North Korea.

There is an alternative, Combat Control.

There is extreme tension in the captain's vocal patterns.

There she is. She made it.

There was a major explosion Thursday in Rangoon.

There was nothing left to say.

There you go. I wasn't worried, baby. I wasn't worried.

There's a private corporation there, maintains a secure facility.

There's been a change of plans.

There's burning debris everywhere. It's all over the sky.

There's burning debris.

There's ménage à trois. Don't forget that one.

There's no blood in those quantum veins. It can't black out.

There's no concussion that I can see, thank God.

There's no record of Lieutenant Wade returning to the Abraham Lincoln.

There's Popsicles in the cooler.

There's your answer.

These warheads are now your primary.

Thesis and antithesis come together and form the synthesis...

They tell you to drop a bomb.

They're ours. They're ours.

They're planning an imminent attack on U.S. soil.

They've given us the go ahead on phase two.

Things go wrong.

This is 1 to Control. Looks like we lost radio contact for a second there.

This is 2 to Control. Risk assessment officer advises...

This is 2. What's the population of the collateral area?

This is 3 to 1. I got your back...

This is 3. I got a visual.

This is 3. Sensors read surface wind...

This is 3. Talk to me about that roof.

This is a supply line to the demilitarized zone.

This is breaking news.

This is not a seminar on metaphysics. This is the U.S. Navy.

This is not a seminar on metaphysics. This is the U.S. Navy.

This is our chance. We may never catch these bastards together again.

This is what we built this machine for.

This isn't a bureaucracy, not out here.

This looks to be Alaska.

This ought to do you.

Those AAA sites were thick. Gave extra time to the SAM sites.

Those could be people. Repeat. Ground intel may be incorrect.

Those people are gonna need emergency medical help now.

Three is prime. The Holy Trinity.

Tin Man confirms, Talon 1.

Tin Man did what you did in Rangoon. You taught me.

Tin Man has integrated all network centric spy satellites.

Tin Man rejoining formation.

Tin Man will prosecute.

To the original three.

Transmission received.

Truncheon away.

Try a lateral vector.

Twenty five hundred.

Two Russian SU 37 Terminators in 0 9 0 degrees for 25 miles.

UCAV EDI, you have launch.

UCAV is bypassing Central Prime. He's distributing secure video stream.

UCAV, confirm you've got the ball.

UCAV, do you read me?

UCAV, you disobeyed a direct order.

UCAV, you will hold here and maintain altitude. Confirm?

UCAV, your position is always on my starboard side.

Very true.

Wait up. Hold on.

Wait, I thought there were only three Talons in existence.

War is a team sport.

War's meant to be terrible. If it stops being terrible, what's gonna stop us?

Warning. Hostile at 6 o'clock. Hostile at 6 o'clock.

Warning. Missile lock. Missile lock.

Watch yourself.

Way to go, EZ. Give me your relative bearing.

Way to go, sir. Welcome to Alaska.

We are upgrading this file from a scenario to a tactical action plan.

We better find him and regroup.

We could've got the job done without sacrificing their children...

We don't have a choice. In we go.

We go to Alaska. We don't have a choice.

We got a nuclear crisis on our hands, Ben. Here's the brief.

We gotta stay focused, Ben.

We have to get across the border. Ready?

We just got here.

We're giving you an emergency mission redirect. Repeat.

We're gonna get out before there's a problem.

We're on it, Dick. Settle down.

We're talking about creating intention here.

We're two.

We've got no diplomatic relations with that country.

We've just located nuclear warheads...

We've sent tech support for him.

Weapon down! Weapons down!

Weapon down.

Weapon down. Weapon down. Weapon down.

Weapons down.

Welcome to Alaska.

Well, hello, gorgeous.

Well, here he comes now.

Well, I'm not a rat. That's my appeal.

Well, not exactly, lieutenant. Why?

Well, so did everything, once upon a time.

Well, technically you could call it an Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle.

Well, that's a lot to prove.

Well, then, let the schooling begin.

Well, then, Tin Man, you're shit out of luck.

Well, this isn't figure skating, Ray. You either score or you don't.

Well, use your imagination, Keith. You're good at that.

Well, we can fly in under the radar.

Well, you are one lucky flyboy.

Well, you boys will have to excuse me. I have to go pee pee.

Well, you just tell them the truth. You tell them...

Well, you understand something.

Well, you're not hurting my feelings, Dick.

Well, you're on fire, warplane, and you don't have much time.

Well...

Well...

West.

What about you?

What am I supposed to tell all the weeping mothers?

What are my orders?

What are you afraid of, Ben?

What in the hell's going on in here?

What is the issue, then?

What is the problem, Purcell? You look like you been hit in the gut.

What target?

What the hell is he doing?

What? Well, well, well. He can talk.

What's all this about, Dick?

What's Primo advocate to ordinance and influence?

What's the blackout risk at vertical 2070?

When I was gonna detach formation...

Where are you? I know you're out here.

Who are you? Who do you work for?

Why don't you meet me up on the flight deck after you're through.

Why is that?

Would you mind just giving me a couple minutes alone?

Wow. Beautiful.

Yeah, but Becky Martinez could fly circles around O'Dell.

Yeah, but it's neutral.

Yeah, but this could turn out to be a long tour.

Yeah, I know it.

Yeah, I've been called that a few times.

Yeah, it's gotta be him. Hey, Henry, our fourth wing. It's gotta be him.

Yeah, it's the Brooks Range.

Yeah, listen carefully, Keith, and don't interrupt.

Yeah, sure.

Yeah, well, he's coming in now, sir.

Yeah, well...

Yeah?

Yeah? How many?

Yeah.

Yeah. "Mean."

Yeah. Really lends itself to quantum processing.

Yeah. Some of it.

Yep, 100 over 100. That's correct.

Yep.

Yes, indeedy, and I congratulate you. Calls have been coming in all night.

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir. I'm sure he'll be glad to hear from you too, sir.

Yes, sir. One moment, sir.

Yes, sir. Ready for combat.

Yes, yes, what I'm talking about.

Yo, this is 3. Did he say, "other targets"?

You and me, we're...

You are angry because EDI is the whole idea.

You are one big study break.

You are to proceed to target and prosecute with precision.

You been talking to Marshfield?

You better be careful, Ben, you know. Hair bleach causes cancer in rats.

You better take it while you can get it. We'll pick this up when you get back.

You blushing?

You came back for me.

You came back.

You can call me old fashioned, you can call it whatever you want...

You can't what?

You cleared the UCA V to fly...

You didn't cheat, did you?

You don't think I consider the consequences...

You either do what I tell you or you can crash and burn.

You either do what I tell you or you can crash and burn.

You gave me your word, and now I'm giving you mine.

You got a foster mom for every situation.

You got two options.

You have a beautiful country.

You have a safe landing, Ben.

You have planes headed towards Russia!

You know I can't pick my nose here without 7000 people approving it.

You know what I think?

You know what I think? I think you killed Henry.

You know what?

You know, it's here to make me safe. It keeps me alive.

You learn what people really think.

You like listening to other people's conversations, don't you?

You made a mistake, Ben.

You mean "itself," don't you, sir?

You mean, you feel?

You missed this.

You ordered Henry to kill me.

You put innocent civilians in harm's way.

You rush a weapons system into service...

You should come to D.C. and make the presentation to the senators.

You think they're gonna trade us all in for that machine?

You too.

You understood this was new territory when you signed on.

You wanted to be on the cutting edge? This is it.

You will fly with EDI, or the next thing you drive might just have a propeller.

You will meet him at Camel Hump 9, and you will escort him back.

You'll find the civilians prepared and very helpful.

You're a freak. Of nature.

You're gonna drop altitude to 20 feet and reduce speed to 250 knots.

You're headed for Tajikistan.

You're in a peck of trouble with the record companies there, son.

You're just not getting it, are you, lieutenant?

You're just not getting it, are you, lieutenant?

You're looking at VLO stealth, captain.

You're not gonna disrespect me. You're not gonna disrespect me.

You're really making me look bad, Tin Man.

You're the future. You're not allowed to act this way.

Your chances are less than 1 percent.

Your choice, make it now.

Your first squadron tour still holds some of the ship's most...

Your mistake was getting competitive with a machine.

Z is... Interesting.

127 31 22 east.

All right, take a seat. Nice catch.

And that's normal? Normal?

B, it's the future and it works. I don't think it works.

Ben, I hate to tell you this, but... I know.

Best guy with the best weapon wins. Or girl.

Call it off. It's not worth the risk. Operator to Talons, pull back.

Captain? I'll get back to you.

Cheers to that. Cheers.

Cheers. And assorted guests.

Chip O'Dell. No way.

Commence attack. Give me your estimate on collaterals.

Countdown. Twenty five... Talon 2 to base.

Dark and mysterious, sir. Don't you like surprises, Ben?

Different. A straight line. Keith.

Do you read me, lieutenant? I do...

Do you wanna go? Okay.

EDI will plant the truncheon. Captain.

First, you gotta do your homework. Homework?

God, you're such a chauvinist. Hold on, now, that's not true.

Got any g****? Any g****?

Hell of a pilot in his day. He's black too. He's black.

Henry meets a girl, like he does. Absolutely.

Henry was... I know what he was, sir.

Hold on! Stop! Stop. Stay low, stay low! Pull low!

How bad? Thin air. Ignition risk; moderate.

I agree. And you're in a perfect position...

I believe you two know each other. He was the captain I told you about.

I didn't want for this to happen. Come on.

I know you do, sir. I've dedicated my life...

I mean, it was perfect. "Perfect." I'll go along with that.

I need some time here. I said, don't interrupt.

I said, I don't need a shot, doc. Come on, now.

I want you to call... I know what to do.

I'm a research scientist. Orbit. Finally, a break.

I'm here to make it happen, sir. All right.

I've heard that one. Yeah, right.

It's humming. No, EDI's thinking.

It's just unpredictable... Let me ask you something.

Kara? Yeah?

Lieutenant Purcell. Honored to meet you, sir.

Lieutenant Wade. It's good to meet you, sir.

Marshfield. Captain, this is Lieutenant Gannon.

Master at arms. Dick.

Must engage. Missile launch.

Negative, 1. Negative, 1.

No, I don't understand. You don't?

North Korea. ...16...

Now, do you guys have it so easy. Yeah? How's that?

Now, what's it gonna be? EDI is a warplane.

Oh, please. Kara. Kara, listen. You're different.

On what grounds? Endangering your squadron...

Operator to squadron. Go for Talons.

Permission to speak freely, sir. Permission denied.

Ray. Listen to me, Ray. Listen to me, George.

Roger, captain. And, you...

Seventy three percent. Time on target is 23 seconds.

Sir, you're my commanding officer. That's right.

Stop bullshitting and erase it! Hey, I'm not fucking ready yet, okay?

Talk to me. He's into some super secure file...

Talon 1, stand down. I'm having...

Thank you. Good to see you again, Dick.

Thank you. Thank you.

The guy's name is Orbit? Yeah, I know.

The one who weighed 350 pounds? No.

The personal touch. Nice. Yeah, thanks.

Thinking? Thinking about what, sir? You. All of you.

This is quantum processing, right? Yeah, it's the first tested application.

Three dimensions. Three blind mice.

Tim, yeah. He's been reassigned.

Tradition? Not tradition, it's...

Two out of the four are women? No. Hey, you never know.

Unlucky? It's not a prime number.

We need to take out the tree line. This is the last missile.

We really are in the era of EDI. EDI.

We were never there. That won't fly and you know it.

We've already been through this. Scrub EDI from the mission.

Well, thank you, Henry, I think. You are very welcome.

What for? Because I'm gonna fly out of here.

What? I mean, EDI...

What? You know what.

What's the deal? You, sir, have a new tasking order.

Where the hell is that? Seventeen...

Where'd all this happen? That's not your concern.

Where's...? Tim?

Would you like a cigar? Thank you, no.

You all right? Yeah.

You always could work the politics. It's indispensable in a bureaucracy.

You are a singularity. Absolutely.

You checking out the drone? Yeah.

You know what I realized about you? What?

You put our squadron at risk. Damn straight.

You scared me. Sorry, just a bit restless.

You sure? Fine, thank you.

You think it keeps you safe? Yeah. He's here...

..."three strikes, you're out," "Three Times a Lady."

..."three strikes, you're out," "Three Times a Lady."

...11, 10...

...13, 12...

...15, 14...

...all over the Tajikistan border.

...all we need is one more successful mission...

...and allied state of ****stan, will be too high.

...and authorizing the assassination of one of your own pilots.

...and exercise attack abort authority.

...and find the flight logs for Lieutenant Wade.

...and head directly back to the ship. Negative.

...and I guess, after that, he decided that his given name was too earthly.

...and I had to lobby half of Washington to do it.

...and is headed east over Lake Baikal. I'm still engaging.

...and this project will be out of the stovepipe and into the light.

...and we are now in Russian airspace.

...and we're giving them the opportunity to shoot it down.

...and you're gonna pass it on to your people...

...and you're gonna spend the rest of your life in a military prison.

...and your objections were duly noted.

...are about to meet in 24 minutes.

...as due south at 40 miles per.

...between politicians and warriors, listen up.

...blowing around the Pamir Mountains.

...but I just don't think that in war...

...but if you black out, you're gonna kill everyone.

...but it's like this force and it's got ahold of me.

...but no, we decided not to because of what?

...but the UCAV is gonna need the net.

...but this plane is putting all of our lives at unnecessary risk.

...but three is sounding much luckier. Oh, shit, he's making a move.

...casualties from lateral vector will be in the thousands.

...completely suppressed.

...don't understand a word I'm saying, do you?

...encrypted satellite auto terrain comparison.

...every time I send you up there with bombs?

...Extreme Deep Invader now.

...five, four, three...

...five, four...

...flying with UCAV EDI. Request clearance for emergency landing.

...get me Keith Orbit on the phone. Yes, sir.

...giving false intel to your commanding officer...

...has a unique heat signature.

...headed toward the Russian no fly zone.

...hell of a first mission.

...I believe they should bow down before me.

...I got a dead pilot and another one who may not make it back to base.

...I just don't think war should become some kind of video game.

...I never wanted this little experiment of yours on my ship.

...I'm exercising attack abort authority.

...if it's controlled by moral people, then it'll be moral.

...impressive records.

...in some think tank somewhere. It is not real.

...is being groomed by the Navy.

...is for you to bring that aircraft back to this ship.

...is its designer, Keith Orbit. Orbit?

...keep me in one piece...

...l'm gonna have to leave you a little message, Ray.

...let them use their imagination.

...Lieutenant Gannon will live to help me.

...like instincts and feelings and moral judgment.

...named "Advanced War Vector Scenarios."

...nine, eight... Talon 2 going down.

...of the search and rescue of Lieutenant Wade?

...on approach.

...seven, six...

...seven, six... I'm punching out.

...so Henry could lay it down. That's what I do.

...so I can visit my folks for Thanksgiving.

...so I need an emergency divert now.

...something called "Caviar Sweep." You know it?

...that we have an experimental drone that went haywire...

...the action should ever be divorced from the consequences.

...the darkening and turbulent storms of this life.

...three miles north of the Scud launchers.

...Three's Company, Three Stooges, Three Musketeers, three peat...

...Three's Company, Three Stooges, Three Musketeers, three peat...

...to considering the consequences.

...to help me get the job done...

...to mess all that up.

...to pull a rocket scientist at every port.

...transmitting secure information to a foreign government, heat signatures...

...two Shock Hammers and three Blue Ferrets.

...two, one.

...where no torment shall touch them.

...which is definitely not supposed to be possible.

...which makes it a lucky number.

...who in turn are gonna give it to the Russians.

...will have this story in less than 24 hours.

...with any amount of luck...

...with collateral damage.

...with steel reinforcements.

...you do what I tell you, when I tell you.

...you said you were gonna tell me something. You remember?

...you shortcut an operational test cycle, people might get killed.

"EDI UCAV. Extreme Deep Invader."

"Learn this, but don't learn that."

"Lord, guard and guide those who fly through the great spaces in the sky."

"Waffle" for 15 points. I'm kicking your ass, buddy.
