"(LAUGHS)" "Tracker on board?" "Nobody saw you?" " Nobody ever sees me, boss." " Good." "XANDER:" "Now, these suits control every spy satellite in the sky." "But how often do these seven men all sit in the same room together?" "MARKE:" "Almost never." "XANDER:" "And if you needed retinal scans, cell phone data dumps, biometrics of all the superpowers in the world," "who would you target?" "Oh, shit." "XANDER:" "Who has that kind of power to actually set that in motion?" "Oh, you're pissing up the wrong tree, Cage." "I came looking for you, remember?" "Yo, asshole." "We gonna have problems?" "Oh, no problem." "How was your trip?" " (CHUCKLES)" " I'm just doing the math." "Oh, yeah?" "What math?" "Air velocity divided by distance." "So, when I stuff you down the toilet, search and rescue will know where to find you between China and North Korea." "Keep talking shit, little man." "Hold that thought, G.I.Joe." "Wow." "Roll it back." "A little more." "More." "A little more." "Stop." "Okay, when Xiang broke the window," "he's the only one that didn't flinch." "I need the President on the phone..." "That's not gonna come off, you know that, right?" "I'll have to replace the goddamn screen." "I've been saying the director of the CIA has been trying to destroy the world for years." "Okay, we have carte blanche to track this son of a bitch down." "Do any of you know how to do it?" "The same way Xiang and I found Pandora's Box in New York." "Pandora's Box needs to keep reconnecting itself because the satellites orbit." " Excuse me." " Uh." "All we need to do is track down the main signal, and then we can approximate its location within a 20-mile radius." "ADELE:" "Of all the places in the world to lay low, this fruit loop chooses Detroit?" "MALE REPORTER:" "These blasts did take place in Moscow, but they were felt around the world." "Good morning." "As feared, the death toll in the Moscow tragedy is rising." "In addition to the latest deaths..." "Let me guess." "Everyone's jumping at the chance to dismantle their spy programs." "No." "The world's too stupid to realize that Moscow wasn't a bluff." "MARKE:" "Okay, Triple-X, you will base out of an NSA safe house." "Becky will coordinate earbud communications and have the signal disruptor on standby." "Nicks, when I crashed the boat up on shore and saved your life..." "Yeah, whatever, bro." "...do you think that counts as crash 199 for me?" "You know, officially?" "NICKS:" "Officially, you're deranged." "ADELE:" "Cool." "MARKE:" "We'll set up a triangulated signal tracking system around the city." "And when Becky locks in his exact location, we make our move." "XANDER:" "What about you?" "How did you get roped into all this?" "SERENA:" "I tagged a skyscraper and got a year in jail for it." "Jail?" " Seems excessive." " Mmm-hmm." "The tag was 30 stories tall." "Two million hits on YouTube." "And I served only half the sentence." "Let me guess." "Gibbons to the rescue." "Yup." "He said a lion like me doesn't belong in any kind of cage." "I got mine after I left the NSA." "What about that one on your wrist?" "SERENA:" "London." "2009." "I climbed the Millennium Wheel." "Naked." " Naked?" " Yeah." "High school." "Oh, no!" "We all have our embarrassing moments." "(LAUGHS)" "What about that sexy one?" "SERENA:" "This?" "Phoenix out of the ashes." "Eighteen hours in a chair in Mexico." "I drank my bodyweight in tequila to get through it." "It's the most important one, actually." "It's when I decided to change the world instead of rage against it." "BECKY:" "We found him." "We found Pandora's Box." "Xander, do you copy?" "XANDER:" "We're here." "Okay, send Tennyson." "Uh, looks like East 404 Congress Street." "He's on the top floor." "I'm showing activity in Pandora's Box." "I can jam the signal, but only for a few minutes, so hurry." "(TIRES SCREECHING)" "BECKY:" "You've got to get there fast and take this guy down." "Not if we find him first." "(CHUCKLES)" "Whoa!" "Red light!" "Red light!" "Red light!" "(HORN BLARING)" "(TIRES SCREECHING)" "Whoo!" "Did you know traffic signals were invented by Big Oil to waste fuel and drive up profits?" "If I say yes, will you please just slow down?" "Look out!" "(TENNYSON CACKLES)" "Wait." "Is this the part where you act the basic bitch and tell me you got your eye on me and that you don't trust me?" " Welcome to the moment." " NICKS:" "Whoa, whoa, whoa" "Everyone needs backup." "NICKS:" "Stop, stop, stop, stop!" "Stop, stop, stop, stop!" "Tennyson?" "XANDER:" "Gridlocked." "There it is." "If you run into trouble, dial nine." "It's an old Gibbons fail-safe." "(CHUCKLES)" "You crashed my party!" "Stole my dance partner." "I'm gonna crash yours." "Have fun." "This ain't a party." "This is a race." "(GRUNTS)" "What the hell you think you're doing?"

"Guys, I can only jam the signal for so long before he chooses another satellite." "You have to hurry." "I have a plan." "Hold on!" ""Hold on" ain't no goddamn plan!" "(GASPS) No, no, no, no!" "(GRUNTS)" " (GUN COCKS)" " Hi." "You looking for someone?" "(GASPING)" "That's 200!" "(LAUGHS)" "(GRUNTING)" "Ha-ha!" "Come on." "No, no, no..." "Xander, you got to get to the top floor."

"This is touching." "(LAUGHS)" "Gibbons would be proud to see you two working together." "(GRUNTS)" "I'm walking out of here, Xander." "You want to know a secret?" "You forgot to put deodorant on?" "I killed Gibbons because he was a self-righteous prick." "BECKY:" "Do you have a shot?" "CIA DIRECTOR:" "He thought he had the right to police the world." "BECKY:" "Adele, do you have eyes on the target?" "(GRUNTS)" "I'm switching to thermal." "I was never going to stop downing satellites no matter what happened." "You know why?" "Because this world has turned..." "BECKY:" "Please, please, please tell me you have a shot." "Damn it." "He's turned the heat up." "I can't see shit." "ADELE:" "X, can't see you guys." "Thermal's no good." " Right?" " ADELE:" "I've lost you in the heat." "You don't see what's going on in this world?" "Take it easy." "Huh?" "So, what are you gonna do about it?" "Easy." "X, keep Chatty Cathy talking." "I still don't have a shot." "We made it that way." "People like Gibbons and the two of you." "And me." "We made it that way." "I mean, come on." "What's the point of getting up in the morning if you're not gonna reboot the world, right?" "XANDER:" "Okay." "Easy." "CIA DIRECTOR:" "There's a war out there." "We're at war for our survival, you don't see it?" "Millions of people have died for nothing..." "It's their right." "Read between the lines." "CIA DIRECTOR:" "Isn't it right?" "XANDER:" "I'm gonna be honest with you." "What's been bugging me this whole time is you've got something stuck in between your teeth." "What the hell are you talking about?" "I'm serious." "CIA DIRECTOR:" "What the hell's wrong with you?" "Right there." " Ahh!" " (THUDS)" "Nice shot." "Was there ever a doubt?" "Uh, yeah, I confess, I had my doubts." "That's for talking shit about my friend, Gibbons." "(DOOR OPENS)" "Xiang!" "Get on your knees!" "On your knees!" "Hands!" "Hands!" "On your knees, now." "Just in time." "Watch out, Cage." "Keep this up, people might mistake you for one of the good guys." "(HANDCUFFS TIGHTENING)" "Hey, suit." "(SIGHS)" "You got what you wanted." "We both know he's not the bad guy." "And who do we blame for Moscow?" "Better a living terrorist than a dead company man." "You see what I'm saying?" "Let's go." "Back on the plane." "I want wheels up in 20." "Let's go, boys." "XANDER:" "We recovered Pandora's Box." "They're gonna send an extraction team to pick you guys up." "But they're taking Xiang." "Oh, and, Serena, if you don't hear from me, remember, dial nine." "X takes care of its own." "You gave it back to Marke, didn't you?" "Nice place." "Spacious." "Expensive." " DONOVAN:" "Shut up." " (CAR DOOR SHUTS)" "(CELL PHONE BUZZING)" "Thank you, sir."
