:24:02
The G.P.S. System... Global
Positioning Satellites... do not lie.
:24:05
Yes, but our Singapore station
picked up a mysterious signal...
:24:09
on the G.P.S. Frequency
at the time of the attack.
:24:12
It could've sent that ship
off course.
:24:14
- I have a missing British frigate...
- I'm aware of that!
:24:17
And instead of decisive action,
all you want to do is investigate.
:24:19
My goal is to prevent World War Three,
Admiral, and I don't think...
:24:22
sending an armada into the recovery
area is the best way to do it.
:24:25
Where, exactly, did this mysterious
G.P.S. Signal come from?
:24:28
- We're still investigating.
- "Investigating."
:24:31
With all your respect M, sometimes I don't think
you have the balls for this job.
:24:35
Perhaps, but the advantage is...
:24:37
I don't have to think
with them all the time.
:24:40
That's enough.
Now, where do we stand?
:24:44
It was an unprovoked attack
on a ship in international waters.
:24:48
We send in the fleet for recovery
and prepare for full retaliation.
:24:52
Moderation.
We investigate...
:24:55
and stop short of sending
the entire British Navy...
:24:57
within ten minutes
of the world's largest air force.
:24:59
- When will our ships be in position?
- Forty-eight hours.
:25:02
Christ!
:25:04
The press are already
screaming for blood.
:25:06
The last thing we want to do
is escalate the situation.
:25:10
I'm afraid it may be too late
to worry about that.
:25:14
Seventeen British sailors murdered!
:25:18
"According to Vietnamese officials
who recovered the bodies...
:25:21
the victims were riddled
with the same ammunition...
:25:24
used by the Chinese Air Force."
:25:25
- Did you leak this?
- No.
:25:30
- It's the first I've heard of it.
- Well, this settles it.
:25:34
We send in the fleet.
:25:36
M, you have 48 hours to investigate.
:25:48
There is one strange thing.
:25:50
When I called our contact
in Saigon, he said the Vietnamese...
:25:53
only found our sailors
three hours ago.
:25:55
How'd they get the paper out so fast?
:25:57
Somebody at Tomorrow knew
before the Vietnamese government did.
