:18:01
- All current data on my desk?
- Yes.
:18:04
I'm gonna need a minute.
:18:06
- Radiation pattern projections in?
- Yeah, but those aren't confirmed.
:18:10
Confirm them.
:18:12
Russia, what a fucking mess.
I miss the Cold War.
:18:15
Get Essler down here now.
I need a translator.
:18:17
Essler's gone. He quit to run JPL.
:18:20
- Who did we appoint?
- My memo's on your desk.
:18:23
- Who the hell's in charge there?
- Mark?
:18:26
Mark? Excuse me.
:18:29
Sorry. Forget Chernobyl.
This is... This is huge.
:18:33
Dr Julia Kelly, Acting Chair,
Nuclear Smuggling Group.
:18:36
- Terry Hamilton, Security Advisor.
- We met last year.
:18:40
I'm briefing the President to explain
how, with our START team there,
:18:45
an accident like this could happen.
:18:47
It wasn't an accident, sir.
:18:49
I'm sorry?
:18:51
We believe that train was carrying
SS18s, which are 0ne Point Safe.
:18:56
- What's she saying?
- If you fire a bullet at the warhead
:18:59
there's a million-to-one
chance of it going off.
:19:02
It must be ignited
by its own trigger.
:19:05
Would you hold this, please?
Here we have the satellite imagery.
:19:08
This is the two trains approaching,
and here's the collision.
:19:11
Now check out the field of regard.
:19:14
These shots are at the same height
cos they occurred at the same time.
:19:18
Look. The blast is two degrees higher
after the satellites passed over.
:19:23
Time between shots?
:19:25
Between the train wreck
and the detonation, 4 minutes.
:19:28
Somebody set that nuclear weapon off.
This was a terrorist act.
:19:33
Full NSC briefing at 9:00am.
:19:35
The Russians' accident story
will stand for now. No press leaks.
:19:39
Nobody shows up on Nightline.
Doctor...?
:19:42
Kelly.
:19:43
I'm putting your group on point
until I find a replacement.
:19:47
Yes, sir.
:19:50
Get me satellite overviews
and keep the updates coming.
:19:58
0K, State, we're gonna need
talking points for the President.
