[Bush] We're at war. We will find those who did it, and we'll bring 'em to justice.

[man 1] Cofer Black, Chief of Counterterrorism, said, "If you let me do it, I'll have flies walking on their eyeballs in six weeks."

[woman 1] I was working with a representative from the FAA, trying to track some of the conspirators. We knew this was Osama bin Laden. We were going to war, full out, against bin Laden.

My team's going on the most important mission in modern history.

[man 2] This is the moment when everything you've planned to get bin Laden is on the line in the next 20 minutes.

[music builds, fades] And that's when all hell broke loose.
