:50:09
What does the psych profile say?
How far will he go?
:50:12
He's a Radek loyalist. That tells us
all we need to know, doesn't it?
:50:17
He'll see this thing through
to the last hostage or his own death.
:50:21
Release this bastard
and Central Asia will go up in flames!
:50:24
I'm aware of that.
:50:26
Bring back the old Soviet empire
under a flag of genocide?
:50:30
Radek with a nuclear arsenal?
:50:34
I hate to say this,
but 50 people...
:50:36
is a small price to pay
to stop that from happening.
:50:40
Even if one of them is the president?
:50:42
The presidency is bigger than any man.
Didn't they teach you that at Yale?
:50:46
Can't we release him today
and pick up the pieces tomorrow?
:50:50
We caught him before,
we'll catch him again.
:50:52
If Petrov releases Radek,
his government will fall.
:50:55
I promise you that.
Then who's gonna stand up to Radek?
:50:59
You go to catch him again,
you'll find him in Moscow.
:51:03
With respect, Mr. Secretary, we don't
need more dramatics, we need options.
:51:08
- It's not an option.
- We need a decision.
:51:10
It's not her decision.
:51:13
This is a military situation.
I'm the secretary of defense.
:51:16
Check your regs. In the absence
of the president, the buck stops here.
:51:20
Get the attorney general
with a copy of the Constitution.
:51:23
We have-- Oh, my God!
Nineteen minutes.
:51:29
I'm going to consult
with President Petrov.
