Why are we helping the Russians
put a missile silo back into orbit?

1:34:05
You're a genius. You figure it out.
1:34:09
You're only here
as a publicity stunt!

1:34:12
You got what you wanted!
You're in space!

1:34:15
Now finish the damn mission!
1:34:22
Go ahead, Frank.
1:34:24
You're on a secure line now.
1:34:26
You were right to be concerned
about this thing coming out of orbit.

1:34:30
It happens to have six armed
nuclear warheads on board.

1:34:37
What's he talking about?
1:34:39
I have no idea.
1:34:40
General, is there something
you want to tell us?

1:34:44
Yes.
1:34:47
Ikon is a relic from the Cold War.
1:34:51
It has floated dead in space
ever since the Soviet Union fell.

1:34:56
There are six missiles on board...
1:34:59
...targeted at strategic
American installations.

1:35:02
All, most regrettably...
1:35:05
...in large metropolitan areas.
1:35:07
If Ikon goes offline...
1:35:09
...it will assume that...
1:35:11
...there has been a catastrophe
and will initiate launch on its own.

1:35:16
You picked a hell of a time
for a confession, general.

1:35:19
Those are our boys up there.
1:35:21
And that is a treaty violation.
A goddamn big one.

1:35:26
You bastard.
1:35:27
Bob, you don't know how touched I am
that you're worried about our safety.

1:35:32
Why don't you ask your friend
the general...

1:35:35
...how my guidance system from
Skylab got aboard this six-gun?

1:35:41
It was stolen by the KGB...
1:35:44
...from Mr.Gerson's personal files.
1:35:51
This is all news to me.
1:35:54
You'd have us put it back into orbit
fully armed and keep it a secret...

1:35:59
...just to save your ass?
