1943.
Detailed information from the Manhattan Project
was stolen from Los Alamos
by the Russian spy known as Perseus.
1968 ,the Vietnam War.
Viet Kong soldiers orchestrated by Perseus
attempted to steal an American-made
nuclear bomb from a U.S. firebase.
Five days ago while on a mission
we acquired intel that Perseus is in play again
and planning an attack on the West
Perseus: The CIA's analysts consider him
to be the single largest threat
to the free world.
Mr Hudson, we're all aware of Perseus.
We're also aware he's more myth than fact.
I mean, personally I think he's nothing
more than the Russian boogeyman.
General Haig, allow me to introduce the man
more suited to respond to that.
CIA Clandestine Special Officer, Russell Adler.
He's one of the few people to even
come close to capturing erseus.
Uh, Mr. Adler, why should we take
this Perseus threat seriously?
You don't have to, sir.
Yeah, but then a lot of innocent
people are gonna die.
Why do you say that?
Sir, every time Perseus has come into
play, it shifted the balance of the Cold War.
And after thirteen years of silence if he's active,
something big is gonna happen,
something that will affect the free world.
Mr. President.
- Sir.
- Mr. President.
Mr. President, this is Jason Hudson and Russell Ad --
I know their names.
Who do you think approved their last mission?
Is the threat real?
Yes, sir, we believe it is.
Can you stop Perseus?
We can, sir.
I've already submitted the
requisition for my team.
Sir, their requests are highly irregular...
most likely illegal.
If the press gets a hold --
What the hell are you talking about?
Do you know who we are?
Every mission we go on is illegal.
Sergeant Woods...
plausible deniability is
the backbone of our work.
Al, we're talking about preventing an attack
on the free men and women of the world.
Give Mr. Adler whatever he wants.
Gentlemen...
you've been given an important task,
protecting our very way of life
from a great evil.
There is no higher duty.
There is no higher honor.
And while few people
will know of your struggles,
rest assured, the entire
free world will benefit.
I know you won't fail us.
