This is the third of the Jack Ryan Pursuit Trilogy, and the second part of Harrison Ford starring Jack Ryan, although the content of the story is very different from "Patriot Game", wife and daughter, CIA director, They are all "authentic", giving the movie a sense of intimacy before watching it.
Colombian drug dealer Ernesto Ecobedo killed the American businessman Harding and his family who stole his money. He didn’t want Harding to be friends and political partners with the President of the United States. The former Cuban Intelligence Agency Major Ferris Curtes was a drug dealer. The adviser of Zi Ekebedo reminded him that he had caused a disaster, but the drug dealers disagreed. However, this drug dealer, Eco Bedo, is a smart man with rich experience. Curtes only said that his source of intelligence does not cost him a dime, and he immediately guessed "Woman, you are using women." He had to admire him. The shrewdness of drug dealers.
The director of the CIA, James Greer, was seriously ill and was hospitalized. Jack temporarily acted as the deputy director of the CIA to preside over the work. Unexpectedly, he was involved in the political whirlpool of a battle in Washington. This U.S. President is an old and cunning politician, a master of power, a master who is good at throwing the pot, and he is always full of high-sounding mandarins. The sensitive things he really wants to do in violation of the rules and laws only hint at the unknown." What I want to propose is something I can’t propose." National Security Advisor James Carter understood that (this is one of the unspoken rules of officialdom, and it continues to this day, ancient and modern, both Chinese and foreign). In the eyes of the people in Washington, Jack is an official in officialdom. Boy Scouts. No, his colleague, Robert Ritter, who is also the deputy director of the CIA, is much more sophisticated. Before the new action on the drug cartel, he asked the national security adviser to issue a certificate that the president authorized the implementation of reciprocal operations. The copy of the paramilitary action of the criminal group was used to protect themselves in the event of the Dongchuang incident and avoid becoming a scapegoat. After obtaining this amulet, Robert spent money to hire Clark to recruit special forces in the United States to prepare for action.
The case on Jack's side quickly made progress. It was initially found that Harding's partner was Colombian drug dealer Ecobedo, and Harding laundered money for them. The president was shocked when he heard this. The president and Harding have known each other for more than 40 years. They studied together and almost went into business in partnership. The national security adviser suggested that the president deny that he is a good friend with Harding, but Jack suggested that the president tell the truth and avoid suspicion. The president finally adopted Jack's suggestion and boldly admitted to the media that he was a good friend with Harding, which made Jack excited. However, Jack quickly became unhappy. In the case of Harding’s case who did not find out who Harding worked for and laundering money, the President ordered Jack to recover Harding’s overseas account of US$650 million in suspected drug trafficking. , Which made Jack a difficult time.
In Congress' review of the increased appropriations for the United States to assist the Colombian government in combating drug cartels, Jack promised that it would not be used in secret military operations and that the United States would not send troops. Here Robert's mercenaries started a surprise operation against drug dealers, and the national security adviser received the information in real time.
Jack's positive and serious performance won the president's praise, but he got a fishy suit. He was ordered to go to Colombia to further investigate the Harding case. It seems that it is really not a wise move to impress the president. Jack’s trip to Colombia was really an escape. The American mercenaries first blew up a plane full of drugs by drug dealer Ecobedo, and then destroyed an underground processing plant of drug dealers, which made the drug dealers. Ecobedo was furious. His adviser, Curtés, took the opportunity to attack the convoy of the FBI Director Jagubba, who was secretly going to Colombia. Except Jack escaped by chance, all of them, including the Director, died. Then Robert's mercenaries secretly mobilized US military planes to launch missiles to destroy another resident of the drug dealer Cass, but it was a pity that Ecobedo and Robert were one step late and survived.
Soon, Robert traced his traces to the Americans behind the scenes, so he directly sent a fax to James Carter for an interview. Robert had a showdown, in exchange for halving the import of cocaine into the United States and selling major drug cases in exchange for it. The US government's recognition and cooperation with him, the top priority is to give him a position as a mercenary and cut off their communication. I don't want their secret meeting to be monitored and recorded by the US Drug Enforcement Agency. Jack received these evidences, he was worried, and he didn't know if he should continue to investigate. The old director promptly encouraged him before he got sick, "You swear to your boss and to the American people, and your swear to be fulfilled."
Jack's dull expression is very suitable for politics, but the cuteness and perseverance in his heart is the fatal injury of his politics. The sense of responsibility and mission made Jack recklessly impulse, and a good show of Jack and Robert's wits was staged. Jack arranged for his computer programmer to invade and connect to Robert's computer, thus discovering the reciprocal action plan. At this time, Robert also discovered Jack's peeping and immediately deleted it. In a panic, Jack fell short because there was no printing paper in the printer. People confronted each other head-on, Robert showed his own exemption agreement, and it was high-sounding for the sake of national security, but Jack had nothing, and the pot seemed to be betrayed. Jack slammed the door out, Robert's voice echoed in his ears, "This world is neither white or black, but also gray."
The frustrated Jack received the news of the death of the old director James. He witnessed the prestigious performances of the president and his staff and politicians at the funeral. After receiving an audio call from the Drug Enforcement Administration from Colombia that American mercenaries were trapped calling for help, he resolutely Decided to go to Colombia to rescue them personally. When Jack and Clark arrived at the scene of the accident, only one mercenary was found, and the other mercenaries were either killed or captured. Jack decided to go to the meeting single-handedly to meet the big drug lord Ecobedo. After a fight, Ecobedo and Robert both died, and the hostages were rescued.
In the White House, the President summoned Jack, and the President personally went off the stage. He acted both hard and soft, intimidated and lured, and even threatened to destroy the reputation of the dead Greer, tempted with the meaning of the ancient Potomac two-step dance, Jack was not moved. Calmly replied "Sorry President, I don't know how to dance", and left without saying goodbye. The security consultant stopped outside the door to no avail. Finally, Jack appeared at the scene of the investigation committee and sworn to testify that the truth was about to be revealed and made public.
