1:30:00
Ethan, what the hell's going on?
What is this damn thing?

1:30:03
A Russian communications satellite,
colonel.

1:30:06
Bullshit! You don't think I know a
nuclear launch platform when I see it?

1:30:10
Why are we helping the Russians
put a missile silo back into orbit?

1:30:14
You're a genius. You figure it out.
1:30:18
You're only here
as a publicity stunt!

1:30:21
You got what you wanted!
You're in space!

1:30:23
Now finish the damn mission!
1:30:30
Go ahead, Frank.
1:30:32
You're on a secure line now.
1:30:34
You were right to be concerned
about this thing coming out of orbit.

1:30:38
It happens to have six armed
nuclear warheads on board.

1:30:44
What's he talking about?
1:30:46
I have no idea.
1:30:48
General, is there something
you want to tell us?

1:30:52
Yes.
1:30:54
Ikon is a relic from the Cold War.
1:30:58
It has floated dead in space
ever since the Soviet Union fell.

1:31:03
There are six missiles on board...
1:31:05
...targeted at strategic
American installations.

1:31:09
All, most regrettably...
1:31:11
...in large metropolitan areas.
1:31:14
If Ikon goes offline...
1:31:16
...it will assume that...
1:31:18
...there has been a catastrophe
and will initiate launch on its own.

1:31:22
You picked a hell of a time
for a confession, general.

1:31:25
Those are our boys up there.
1:31:27
And that is a treaty violation.
A goddamn big one.

1:31:31
You bastard.
1:31:33
Bob, you don't know how touched I am
that you're worried about our safety.

1:31:37
Why don't you ask your friend
the general...

1:31:40
...how my guidance system from
Skylab got aboard this six-gun?

1:31:46
It was stolen by the KGB...
1:31:48
...from Mr. Gerson's personal files.
1:31:56
This is all news to me.
1:31:59
You'd have us put it back into orbit
fully armed and keep it a secret...
