:44:01
- Put him on the phone right now.
- You've been ordered
by a superior officer.
:44:04
-This is Major Baxter.
-Now you're being given your
last chance by a man with a gun.
:44:07
Put the phone down.
:44:13
- I thought you weren't ready to kill.
- I'm warmin' up.
:44:17
At ease.
:44:27
They need a decision,
Mr. President.
:44:38
These past few hours...
:44:40
have been the longest,
darkest of my life.
:44:44
How does one weigh human life?
:44:48
One million civilians
against 81 hostages.
:44:53
And in the middle, Frank Hummel.
:44:56
That we have ignored,
abandoned or marginalized...
:45:01
a great soldier like Frank Hummel...
:45:03
and that American boys have paid
for that neglect in blood...
:45:08
is equally real
and equally tragic.
:45:15
We are at war with terror.
:45:18
Fighting a war means casualties.
:45:20
This is the worst call
I've ever had to make.
:45:28
Air strike approved.
:45:33
Red Thunder to tower.
Request clearance.
:45:36
With the amount of firepower
they're gonna drop in there...
:45:39
- Tower this is Strike Leader.
Prepared to go.
- it'll be over in a few seconds.
:45:42
Flight time to drop point: 17 minutes.
:45:50
Excuse me, General, sir,
with all due respect to you,
but what the fuck is going on?
:45:55
- You changed the coordinates,
didn't you, General?
- That's affirmative, Captain.
:45:58
So, now they think we're
gutless, the Feds? They think
we won't actually do it.
