Mark Appleton's looking for you.
He's upstairs.
:18:04
- All current data on my desk ?
- Yes.
:18:06
- I'm gonna need a minute.
- Radiation pattern projections in ?
:18:10
- Yeah, but those aren't confirmed.
- Get them confirmed.
:18:13
[ Man ] Russia. What a fucking mess.
God, I miss the Cold War.
:18:17
Get Essler down here now.
I need a translator.
:18:20
Essler's gone.
He quit to run J.P.L.
:18:22
- Who did we appoint ?
- My memo's sitting on your desk.
:18:25
- Who the hell's in charge down there ?
- [ Kelly ] Mark ?
:18:28
Mark ?
Excuse me.
:18:31
Sorry. Forget Chernobyl.
This is-- This is huge.
:18:35
Dr. Julia Kelly,
Acting Chair, Nuclear Smuggling Group.
:18:38
- You know Terry Hamilton,
National Security Advisor.
- Yes, sir.
:18:41
- We met at last year's Christmas party.
- I'm briefing the president.
:18:45
I need to explain how,
with our own START team there,
:18:47
a goddamn accident
like this could happen.
:18:49
It wasn't
an accident, sir.
:18:52
I'm sorry ?
:18:54
We believe that train was
carrying SS18s.
:18:56
- SS18s pencil out at One Point Safe.
- What's she saying ?
:18:59
It means if you fire a bullet
directly into the warhead,
:19:02
there's less than a one-in-a-million
chance of the bomb going off.
:19:04
The warhead has to be ignited
by its own nuclear trigger.
:19:07
Would you hold this, please ?
Here we have the satellite imagery.
:19:10
This is the two trains approaching,
and here's the collision itself.
:19:14
Now check out
the field of regard.
:19:16
These two shots are at the same height
because they occurred at the same time.
:19:20
Look at the blast.
It's two degrees higher,
:19:23
after the satellites passed over.
:19:25
Elapsed time
between shots ?
:19:27
Between the train wreck
and the detonation, 4 minutes.
:19:30
Somebody set that nuclear weapon off.
This was a terrorist act.
:19:35
Full N.S.C. briefing
at 9:00 a.m.
:19:38
The Russians' accident story will stand
for now. No leaks to the press.
:19:41
Nobody shows up on Nightline.
Doctor-- ?
:19:44
Kelly.
:19:46
I'm putting your group on point
until I find a replacement.
:19:49
Yes, sir.
Oh.
:19:52
Get me the latest satellite overviews,
and keep the updates coming.
