World War Four

Nuclear war, the subject of endless

documentaries, spy thrillers, novels, films.

Did any of us think for one moment that any of it

could actually happen on our watch?

During our time?

If you'd asked me, I would have told you it was impossible.

It would never happen.

Ask any of the officers here.

They all would have told you the same.

Not surprisingly, it all started in Korea.

No, if there's North Korean troops inside South Korea,

that's an act of war.

Swick one, this is two four.

I guess you've been monitoring,

but we've got that movement again out there.

Sir?

Negative radar contact.

We are in the worst possible position to get ambushed.

My name is Sue, and I'm the wife of a soldier,

and here's what I've learned so far

about the start of nuclear wars.

They begin with the little things.

Like that raid in South Korea,

and that other raid that followed.

I remember that day.

Which the U.S. Defense Department

has called an unacceptable and irresponsible act,

in response to the provocative act by North Korea,

a U.S. Air Force, B-52 Stratofortress conducted a low-level

flight in the vicinity of Osan airbase South Korea.

Here in Cairo and across the Middle East, Africa,

and Asia, protestors threw rocks at police

who responded with tear gas.

The demonstrations occurred

near the heavily fortified U.S. Embassy.

But that has not stopped protestors

from blaming the American government.

Demonstrators shouted anti-U.S. slogans and demanded just-

So it's that time again.

I've been seconded to the marines

in the Middle East again.

I can't tell you any more than that.

I'll be fine, just like I always am.

I love you.

I love you too.

I'll see you soon.

Hey, where's your brother stationed at the moment?

Aaron, uh, he's at some big exercise

in Guam or Japan, or someplace.

Go to the front! Hey! Go to the front!

Two raids, one in the South Korea, one in the Baltic Sea.

Both on the same day, both virtually an act of war.

But you haven't heard the worst of it.

That ship, the F101, was carrying NATO's full response

if Russia decides to invade the Ukraine.

So you think the Russians did it?

Pretty much everyone does.

But here's the thing, for each and every one

of those attacks, we detected a massive spike

in data and traffic, coming from an entity inside the U.S.

Every time.

Well, what do your superiors think?

They think it was just coincidence, I mean,

but, it's way too specific.

It happened on two of these raids,

and it happened on the raid with the oil shipments

about three weeks ago.

What would you like me to do about it?

Mike, you're FBI.

You can investigate the U.S. angle. I can't.

I don't know what kind of influence you think I have Dave.

Where would I start?

We've narrowed down the source to a 40 mile radius,

somewhere to the west of Washington D.C.

I'm sending you some files now.

Yeah, sure, send 'em through. I'll take a look.

Let me know what you can do with it.

Okay.

Thanks man.

I'm sure you can understand how important this might be.

Okay. Dave, be careful.

Is it possible for one man, or a group of men,

to orchestrate a series of small incidents

around the globe that could drag us into war?

From B2 bomber flights over the Korean Peninsula

to destroyers off the coast and missile batteries in Guam,

US forces are showing they are ready to tackle

anything that North Korea sends their way.

Meanwhile, both North Korea and Russia continue to deny

any involvement with last week's raids in South Korea

or the Baltic Sea.

The Pentagon's options include airpower

to knock out North Korean missile installations,

long range bombers that could take out its nuclear sites

and government complexes, ships and truck-mounted batteries

to destroy missiles before they hit their targets.

North Korea's closest ally, China,

opposes any unilateral military act in the area.

North Korea has threatened to attack South Korea,

the United States and other US allies.

We'd become complacent, all of us,

been living in a dream world.

The threats that had been thrown around for so long

most of us hardly noticed anymore, until it was too late.

SC sub-com report.

Sir, message from Stratcom.

We've been ordered to the Korea strait.

Stealth-mode-weapons-hot, over.

Sub-come aye.

Dive, dive.

Make our dive depth 160 feet.

Open outer hatch.

So where are you exactly?

I'm in an area about 75 miles west of Washington DC.

So your buddies at the Pentagon come up

with some lunatic theory that somehow links a US group

to these military attacks

and you don't think I'll notice when you disappear

off on some wild goose chase for these guys?

Someone needs to check it out Captain.

I really think there could be something to it.

The data's pretty compelling.

I mean, every one of those attacks

could have been carried out by 50 men or less.

All of them push us closer and closer to war.

Only if you're a conspiracy nutcase.

How about this, how about the ISIS crazy man did it

and the North Koreans did it and the Russians did it?

You're saying that some entity in the US secretly planned

these raids in order to slowly draw us into war?

I mean, why would anybody do that? And how would they do it?

Please Captain, just give me a little bit more time

out here to check it out.

Fife, I want a full accounting of every hour

and every day you're spending on this,

and I want it on my desk Monday.

Is that understood?

Meanwhile, it is now 25 days

since the terrorist attacks that set fire

to hundreds of oil fields across the Middle East.

And still they burn.

None of the key terrorists have yet been caught,

including their leader Hassan El Sherie.

Experts say, unless the terrorists are stopped,

large-scale war in the Middle East may be imminent.

Hello?

Hi honey, I'm just checking in.

I found a quiet spot where I can talk. I'm on a Satphone.

It looks like I'm going to be pretty busy over here.

Well, you be careful.

Oh, you know me. So, what's new over there?

I guess I haven't been away that long.

Not much, it's pretty uneventful here.

Sir!

Okay, well I gotta go honey. I love you.

I miss you.

Bye.

Oil prices skyrocketing,

oil prices could reach historic highs

if the unrest continues.

As you know, tonight's mission involves the kill

or capture of at least two or maybe three

of the USA's most wanted terrorists.

Now these are the men most responsible for the attacks

that halted the oil shipments.

They are top priority targets

and have threatened to attack again.

Now we'll be landing in a hot LZ

so expect a lot of heavy fire.

Travel light, but really load up on ammo.

Radio check.

Dragon Zero One, Eagle five.

Yeah, good morning, gentlemen,

got a flight of two 46's up from Matsu.

We copy.

Good morning Dragon Zero One.

Flight is two US Marine Corps helicopters.

1,500 feet, 10 miles to the east.

Southwest turning.

Mission to approach.

Zero one in flight to the North.

Ok men, take out your e-maps.

Now, you know the terrain we're landing in.

First, we need to make the treeline.

Then, through the forest to the base on the other side.

The mastermind of the attacks is unlikely to be there,

but his leading men are almost certainly on that base.

147 Eagle request valve, looking for an LZ opportunity.

Going to the north to Abib abama.

Go! Go! Go! Go!

Alpha teams on me. See the treeline to the north?

Direct all your fire there.

We're two men down already, sir.

Dragonfly leader, this is Alpha team 1.

We need CAS aimed at the treeline,

300 meters north of our position, over.

Roger that, we're inbound now.

I'm showing a very large contingent of enemy hostiles,

extremely heavily armed, over.
