"She's a true believer, but she's pragmatic, and Vorza is someone the agency can cut a deal with." "All right." "You got my attention." "Get up." "And we'll collect Gabrielle on the way." "Let's go." "(GRUNTING)" "A man always takes what he wants." "(GROANING)" "(BOTH PANTING)" "(GUNFIRE)" "(WHIMPERING)" "Thank you." "We have to go." "It's okay." "All right, give me a minute." "All right." " Assume you checked me out." " Interesting service record." "It was a past life." "Thing is, James," "I just never know when you're telling me the truth." "Holy shit." "She's really here." "Where's Vorza?" "Uh... yeah, I lied." "I guess I'm just working for her now." "You son of a bitch." " (GRUNTS)" " Oh, gee!" "Oh, my God." " Let him go." " Put down the gun." "Don't put down the gun." "Go ahead." "Shoot." "Put down the gun or I kill him." "He is the only thing keeping you alive." " Jesus." " What are you gonna do?" "You gonna shoot me?" "Put the gun down." "I am just a girl." "What would I know about guns?" "Go ahead, pull the trigger, go ahead." "Oh, fuck." "Pull the trigger!" "Go ahead, I dare you!" "Pull the trigger!" "Oh, go, go, go, go." "(GROANS)" "(GUNFIRE)" "(GROANS)" "We're clear." "They're gonna be coming." "You need to get to the penthouse, all right?" "Gabrielle, you need to help her." " Are you gonna make it?" " Yes, I'll make it." " All right." " What about you?" "Uh..." "I'll hold them off." " James." " I'll be fine." "Go on, it's all right, go." "Go!" "It's okay, come on." "General." "Vorza, we've been looking for you everywhere." " General." " The money from Mr. Gibbons." "It actually arrived." "We did it, Vorza." " She's alive." "She's here." " What?" "Who is here?" "Petrenko." "You told me she was dead." "You said you took care of it." "Nobody could survive that explosion." "Yet..." "She's obviously here to get on TV." "She has to show she is alive." "My men are going floor to floor." "They will find her." "It is impossible for her to get to the penthouse." "I wouldn't be so sure." " There's a man." " Oh, I've met him." "His name is James Henderson." "He's CIA or ex-CIA, you can never tell with those guys, but the headline is he's blue list." " What is that?" " Blue list is for operatives who were given an indefinite kill ratio." "Indefinite means they don't know." "It means there's no upper limit." "Means he's extremely dangerous." "Whatever training your men have, whatever firepower," " it may not be enough." " He's just one man." "The broadcast is in 20 minutes." "Vorza, you must take charge of the search." "Petrenko cannot reach the penthouse." "General, you can depend on me." "Mr. Gibbons, you're with me." "We will go to the penthouse once Vorza tells me it is secure." "(YELLS)" "MAN:" "Here we go." "Let's go." "Move." "Move." "Move." "(GRUNTS)" "MAN:" "Quickly, men!" "Don't let the American get away!" "(BREATHING HEAVILY)" "(MAN ON TV) We do not know where the government ministers or cabinet members are at this moment." "(TV CONTINUES INDISTINCT)" "Oh, my God, you're alive!" "General Lazar telling us so many lies." "We don't know what to believe." "I need to speak to the people of the country." "But we don't have much time." "Absolutely, Madam President." "Get ready to roll." "Shit... (GROANS)" "Oh, shit!" "(GROANING)" "I need a few moments to speak directly to the country." "After that, I'll give you a live, continuous interview until I'm either dead, captured, or victorious." "We'll get him on the other side." "Move." "Move." " Time to go." " But what if it isn't secure?" "Then we make a full and noble sacrifice for our country." "Oh, great." "(RAPID GUNFIRE)" "Just one man, you say." "I'd like to meet him one day." "Oh, I'm pretty sure you will." "(GUNFIRE)" "Shit..." "I am alive and I am in the capital." "And I am once again, calling on the people of our great nation." "Re-take our city." "Citizens already inside the city should seize the television station... and distract the enemy's lines of internal communication and supply." "(GUNFIRE)" "(YELLS)" "TANIA:" "Soldiers outside the city who remain loyal to government should lay siege the roadblocks on the bridges in order to cut off and isolate the enemy coup." "(EXPLOSION)" "(GUNSHOTS)" "We have him." "He's cornered." "I'm going to meet the General." "You finish up here." "If he surrenders?" "He won't." "TANIA:" "The coup forces are brutal." "They depend on the tactics of the bully." "They rely on acquiescence and fear to succeed." "But we are not afraid." "We will not acquiesce." "This is our country." "The era of tyrants is over!" "That's here!" "She's on the top floor!" "You see this?" "She's alive." "Lazar lied to you." "That means you're no longer soldiers." "You're criminals." "Criminals!" "Stay there." "Stay back." "Lower your weapons;" "These are civilians." "Turn it off!" "Petrenko!" "You are too late." "The people know that I am alive." "Your little adventure is over." "And what if they see you shot dead on live TV?" "Who will they believe then?" "It's bad PR, General." "What will your corporate sponsors think?" "Better to arrest her, put her on trial." "You don't understand this country, Mr. Gibbons." "The people don't want trials, all those trappings of democracy you hold so dear." "A good public execution." "That's what they demand." "Vorza." "I'm sorry, General." "I think it's too late." "The people will be against us." "He's right about one thing, though." "We shouldn't kill her." "We need her to get out of here." " What about this CIA man?" " He's finished." "(GUNFIRE)" "Then who is doing all that shooting?" "(GRUNTS)" "LAZAR:" "At last." "(CHUCKLING)" "He put up a good fight." "TANIA:" "I'm sorry." "He will be remembered as a national hero." "GIBBONS:" "You can still do this, General." "I'm telling you, a trial, some good PR." "It'll be a bit bumpy for a while, but just think of those contracts." " Vorza, we have the money?" " Yes, General." "And with Petrenko here, we have a good chance of safe passage out of here." "My men will still be loyal." "We get to the Russian Embassy, we will be safe." "So why do we need this idiot?" "I can't think of a single reason, General." " Me neither." " Just a minute, General." "I'm..." "I'm your friend;" "I'm your friend." "After all the things that we've been through, you're gonna do this to me?" "Time to go." "VORZA:" "Get up." "Move!" "Come on!" "Shit." "(ELEVATOR DINGS)" "Where are your men, Vorza?" "Stand back or we'll shoot." "JAMES:" "You know, I've seen too many guns today." "So I'd rather settle this the old way." "I've been looking forward to meeting you, Mr. ex-CIA." "Yeah, probably under better circumstances." "No, no, no, no." "The circumstances are perfect." "(CHUCKLES)" "When I'm done with you, we shall leave." "(GRUNTING)" "There's a reason it was called" "The Dark Ages." "Traitor!" "(MAN ON TV) In a startling reversal for the military rebels," "President Petrenko has been found safe, and the coup's leader, General Lazar, has been killed in the fighting." "Rebel soldiers have surrendered to government forces and it seems that this short-lived, but bloody coup is now over." "Thank you." "Thank you." "Okay..." "So, Mr. Henderson, we never established whether you were CIA or not." " It's a gray area." " Oh." "But let's just say the US government's pleased" " the way things turned out." " Right." "And you can call me, James, by the way." "Oh, in another life, maybe." " Until then..." " Yes, Madam President." "I suppose you'll be wanting that cell phone contract." "(CHUCKLES) No, that's someone else's problem now." "I think I'm gonna request to be moved back to New York." "Turns out I'm not great with revolutions." "We all have our lives to live, but just know that my nation will be forever grateful." "To both of you." "Thank you." "Thank you." "(ENGINE STARTS)" "So am I ever really gonna find out who you are, James?" "I'm hungry." "Wanna get some breakfast?" " Sure." " Come on." "I'll let you interrogate me." "Wait." "You like bagels, right?" "I love bagels."
