My God!
PRESIDENT

ERIC
RAYBURN: Los Angeles. It gets worse. This bomb is going to go off today.
PRESIDENT
PALMER: How do we know this?
ERIC
RAYBURN: {Shows photo on the screen} This suicide bomber is Mahmud Rashed
Faheen. A terrorist who we believe has been involved with countless
fundamentalist groups.
LYNNE:
Is that the bombing in the west bank?
ERIC
RAYBURN: Yes. Two days ago we were led to believe that the purpose of this
bombing was for us to think Faheed was killed.
PRESIDENT
PALMER: He wasn't?
ERIC
RAYBURN: No.....{Shows another picture} This was taken five days ago outside a
small airport in France. The man on the left Jason Park. We had him under
surveillance. It happens to be that we caught the very much alive Faheen in the
photo. When we grabbed Park we tried to extract everything we could out of him.
About fifteen minutes ago he broke and confessed that for two years Faheen has
been planning today's attack on Los Angeles.
LYNNE:
Why didn't you pick up Faheen the same time as Park?
ERIC
RAYBURN: This picture wasn't analyzed until after the two had separated. I've
contacted defense, CIA, FBI Everything will be run through N.S.A.
PRESIDENT
PALMER: Who controls Faheen?
ERIC
RAYBURN: A relatively new splinter group that goes by the name of Second Wave.
PRESIDENT
PALMER: Government affiliation?
ERIC
RAYBURN: They are not recognized by any of the Middle Eastern states.
PRESIDENT
PALMER: Get me their Prime Minister.
LYNNE:
Yes sir.

attack on one of my cities today and two, your government supports second wave.

MINISTER: I would appreciate it if you stop using my people and my country as
every threat leveled at the United States.
PRESIDENT
PALMER: What I'm saying is not meant to be a threat just a statement of fact.
If a bomb goes off on US soil today, I will have no choice but to respond.
PRIME
MINISTER: This is an outrage. We are not planning to attack the United States.
PRESIDENT
PALMER: Outrage or not if you care for the lives of your people, you better
hear me loud and clear. Mr. Prime Minister, if a bomb goes off today, it will
hurt us but it will destroy you.

MINISTER: Then Mr. President, you will have created an enemy of over 1/3 of the
