1:46:02
I wanna talk
to General Kramer.
1:46:05
- You've been asked by an old friend.
- Put him on the phone right now.
1:46:08
- You've been ordered.
- This is Major Baxter!
1:46:10
Now you're being given your
last chance by a man with a gun.
1:46:13
Put the phone down.
1:46:17
I thought you weren't
ready to kill.
1:46:19
I'm warming up.
1:46:22
At ease.
1:46:32
They need a decision,
Mr President.
1:46:41
[Sighs]
These past few hours...
1:46:45
have been the longest,
darkest of my life.
1:46:49
How does one weigh
human life?
1:46:54
One million civilians
against 81 hostages.
1:46:57
And in the middle,
Frank Hummel.
1:47:01
[Sighs]
That we have ignored, abandoned...
1:47:06
or marginalized a great
soldier like Frank Hummel,
1:47:09
and American boys have paid
for that neglect...
1:47:12
in blood
is equally real...
1:47:15
and equally tragic.
1:47:20
We are at war with terror,
1:47:22
and fighting war
means casualties.
1:47:26
This is the worst call
I've ever had to make.
1:47:33
Air strike approved.
1:47:38
Red Thunder to Tower.
Request clearance.
1:47:40
The amount of firepower
they're gonna drop in there,
1:47:43
This is strike leader.
Prepared to go.
1:47:45
it'll be over in a few seconds.
1:47:48
[Pilot]
Flight time to drop point:
17 minutes.
1:47:56
Excuse me, General, sir,
with all due respect to you,
but what the fuck is going on?
