ROBERT
MCCORMICK, 70s, fit, narrates a slide show on nuclear power for
a class of 4th graders. In the room is THERESA NEAL, late 20s,
and other Principal Electronic employees. As the show comes to
an end, the kids are ushered out for a complete tour of the plant.
Outside
the plant, downriver, a team of masked, scuba-clad men prepare
to "attack" the nuclear power plant. As Theresa, head
of all computer systems running the plant, leads the kids through
the plant, GALLAGHER and WADE ERICKSON splash into the Hudson.
They look like a group of trained terrorists. They emerge from
the water and slide up to the perimeter fence. Meanwhile, inside
Theresa and the SHIFT SUPERVISOR are setting up the backup security
systems. Cutting a hole in the fence, the men let themselves
inside the grounds and are soon inside, sweeping down the halls
with their guns drawn, employees are terrified as they continue
down the hall into the main foyer, surprised to find a group
of school kids there. Once it becomes clear that these men are
not going to hurt anyone, everyone calms down. HOWARD FINCLER,
head of plant security, steps forward and introduces himself
to Gallagher. Apparently, they are Navy SEALs and this has been
an exercise to test plant security. Theresa's eyes lock on Wade,
but she turns away quickly when he notices her. Gallagher calls
a briefing in ten minutes.
While
Gallagher confers with Howard and his team on the essential security
of the plant, Wade slides up to Theresa, speaking in a stage
whisper. She is angry he's been incommunicado for two years.
He tries to calm her, and finally she reluctantly agrees to dinner
that night. He'll have to pick her up later at work though, thanks
to the SEALs "break-in" she'll be there rebooting all
the backup systems. Gallagher and Wade leave via helicopter as
Howard walks into a barren office and makes a call. He tells
the person on the other end they're all clear. As the sun is
setting and Theresa finishes up her long day, Wade pulls up to
the gates outside and is waved through. At the spot where the
fence was cut, a guard fixing it is show through the neck with
a crossbow. Four men in black commando gear rush onto the grounds.
In the A-11 office, BOB ONE meets with Howard who briefs him
on the remaining night crew in the plant. ADAM, a 16 year-old,
pimply faced kid, known as the Wizard to Bob One, brings in his
laptop and starts to hook it up. He punches some keys and the
password option comes up, easy for this little hacker. Howard
is anxious for them to do their job and get out so he can get
his hands on his share of the cash. Adam is in the systems main
brain and is changing to codes for the backup, leaving the crew
at the plant with nothing once they are in control.
At
the Plaza Hotel, BOB FOUR, a woman in her 30s, approaches Robert
McCormick at a fundraiser to tell him he has an urgent call from
the Indian River Nuclear Plant. She walks him outside to an old
car, holding a gun on him, she pushes him in. Bob One and his
boys are now moving through the plant, ushering guards and employees
in to one room, he radios to BOB SIXTEEN and BOB FOURTEEN outside,
who make their way to the loading dock. As Wade makes his way
inside he hears the spray of bullets hitting the wall down further
inside the plant. He grabs the guard and pulls him down in another
cubicle as BOB SEVENTEEN, EIGHTEEN AND NINETEEN unload bullets
on another guard. They leave the room and search for more guards
to kill. Wade needs to be led to the control room, where Theresa
is and completely unaware of the real terrorist attack going
on. As they move down the hallway, Theresa comes out near the
access data room, surprised to find Wade sneaking around with
parks. He explains they've heard Bob One on the phone to Robert
McCormick demanding money be made available for transfer, $500
million, as soon as possible, every forty minutes an employee
will die. If the money is not offered, all will be killed and
they will blow up the plant, killing millions in the tri-state
area. Wade needs Theresa to counteract Adam's computer, and re-install
the backup security system that will protect the plant from being
decimated.
McCormick
places a call to TODD KIRBY, his head PR guy to let him know
about the terrorist's request. McCormick is being held in a warehouse
by Bob Four and FIVE and can't tell Kirby haw serious this situation
is, Kirby promises to have it done. Wade and Parks leave Theresa
to find a phone. The terrorists have cut all the lines at the
plant. In the parking lot Wade jams a knife into the ignition
of a truck with a car phone. He Gallagher who tells him this
might be over his head and to get out. Three Bob terrorists are
moving around the lot destroying cars with phones. Wade hangs
up and the two hide. Gallagher is on the phone with FBI agent
KUDELSKI within moments. They discuss the severity of the situation
while the clocks ticks inside the plant.
Wade
and Parks find Theresa and the three put on radiation suits,
they need to prepare for the worst, wade doesn't know if or when
anyone will be sent to help them. While they dress, Parks pushes
Wade for information about being a SEAL. It is here that we learn
of his and Theresa's past. Wade's partner was her husband, DON,
who dies two years prior while Wade was covering for him. Parks
has hit a nerve, we can see it in Wade's eyes, yet he continues
his story of the courageous SEAL who was his best friend, as
Theresa's eyes tear and she accepts Wade's discreet apology.
Wades
moves out and is able to kill two of the terrorists. Bob One
is soon very much aware that there is a loose pill running around,
and a smart one, that could jeopardize everything. Wade disarms
a bomb of C-4 one of the Bob' had set in the reactor, as they
make the connection to Theresa and Bob One sends one of his men
to find her. When wade gets back to Parks he tells him they've
kidnapped her as he hid. Wade slips through the plant and finds
Bob One taking off with Theresa. The Money has been arranged,
Adam's job is done, too simple for him. Wade jumps into the river,
taking off and gives chase, as Kudelski and three swat guys are
in a helicopter overhead, unable to distinguish between any of
the Bobs and Wade. On the bike, Wade pulls an Evil Kinevil move
which throws two of the Bobs splashing into the water. Kudelski
realizes which one is Wade. As Bob Six is pulled under the surface
of the water, BOB TWELVE turns in a panic. He then is pulled
under as well. Wade breaks the surface and sees another one of
their hostages struggling in the water, the Asst. Supervisor.
Dragging her to shore, he wants to know where Theresa is. An
arrow hits her in the leg as Wade looks across the way to see
BOB EIGHT and Bob One with their crossbows. He finds a fishing
line and tosses it at Bob Eight, the two disentangle themselves
as they jump into the water. He takes his gun and sneaks up to
BOB TWO, kicking him disarming him easily. The Asst. Supervisor
diverts BOB THREE's attention as Wade comes up behind and shoots.
Downriver
at a construction site, Kudelski meets Wade, who's going back
inside the plant to rescue the others. Gallagher steps out of
the helicopter and agrees to help. Inside, Bob One and Adam sit
at a computer, which reads a Meltdown in three minutes. Theresa
finds Wade and rushes him to the emergency water pumps. The only
way the plant can be saved is to make sure the valves are open
to relieve the steam and pressure and let the water cool the
core. As they run from valve to valve, seeing most panels are
locked up by Adam's computer expertise, Adam and Bob One enjoy
a countdown. Bob One notices Theresa and Wade on one of the monitors.
Bob
One dives at Wade, a gun goes off and Wade rolls off Bob One
to reveal blood seeping through his shirt. Bob laughs as Theresa
unsuccessfully tries to get into the last containment of the
plant. His eyes turn to the heavens and as he slips away, and
the countdown continues. Theresa and Parks continue to slam into
the containment bars, they finally start to give a little. The
wheel is spinning easily now from the water pressure, as the
danger for a nuclear meltdown drops away. The three hobble through
the turbine room as the camera pulls back to reveal as sign which
reads HAVE A NICE DAY. |
