Harlan Mook makes terrorist attacks on U.S. military targets as an Iranian agent. After landing in South Africa, the paranormal force attempts to infiltrate an anti-apartheid rebel camp in Mozambique where the paranormal who supposedly caused the Pitt is located. As the pro-apartheid base in South Africa, Kathi Blizzard uncovers Colonel Oort's concentration camp holding blacks, including the paranormal Oort set up as the fictional destroyer of Pittsburgh. Oort captures Blizzard and discloses that he set up the whole plan in to use the paranormal force as a cover to launch his captured nuclear missiles. Oort launches his missiles and the Americans, Soviets and Cubans follow suit thinking each other launched first.
