"2x13 - "Battlezone"" "YUNNAN PROVINCE [music]" "Battle not with monsters, lest ye become a monster." "And if you gaze into an abyss," " the abyss gazes back into you." " It's him." "Did you have any trouble acquiring the package?" "The Burmese border is less than 100 kilometers west." "We dad to airlift it in." "[bang, bang]" "Out!" "Don't hurt me!" "They forced me to do it!" "I don't know how that money ended up in my account!" "Barnabis." "XIII?" "Betty?" "Oh gee... you saved me!" "Oh my God, they destroyed my van, they abducted me!" "Barnabis, I asked for you to be brought here." "Here?" " Why?" " I need your help to dismantle HEARPE." "Hey, hey man, that's between you and your doctor..." "No, HEARPE." "High Energy..." "Auroral Refraction Protonospheric Emitter." "Yeah, a climate study cover up for God-playing science freaks." "I know what HEARPE is, but... but it's in Alaska." "Actually, that one's junk..." "they can't aim it properly." "But there's one here, they're weaponizing it as we speak." " So this isn't an abduction?" " No." "This is a mission." "Uhm." "Well I just feel that I should let you know that I'm on a very strict gluten-free diet." "Hey... an extraction team will pick you up at oh-five-hundred... if all goes well." "We're done." "Wait, wait, wait, wait..." ""if all goes well?"" "Man up." "First you kill my son." "Then you take my daughter from me." "And now this." "Have I done something to you?" "No, I had nothing to do with your son's death." " That was Synequanon." " Oh..." "I needed your daughter to get back inside Xu." "Our interests are different but complementary." " And I didn't hit you." " No." "I wouldn't want you to." "This is uh... unexpected." "I've got a lot invested in this." "I want to make sure we're on track." " Everything is going fine." " Is it?" "HEARPE is operational." "It's T-minus three hours to show time." "XIII is not as compliant as you can be." " Do you think we still need him?" " I can take care of him." "I'm not so sure about that." "He's always been a problem." "And you were created to solve that problem, not to double it." "What would you have me do?" "XIII wants to destroy HEARPE, find him, complete your mission." "I was a secret agent betrayed by my own people." "Robbed of my face, my memories, my history." "Hidden in my past is a secret that threatens all humanity," "I search for answers with nothing to hold onto but the tattoo that has become my name." "I am XIII." "I told them you would need some new toys." "Oh my God, this is..." "this is incredible." "Octa-core processor, 4.9 Ghz, quad-SSD, satellite scrambler, this is... this is next level gear!" " Toys for boys." " Ok." "We need to track down Ming Tang," "Director of the Hulun Research Facility." "A front for Xu's HEARPE operations." " You did your homework." " A direct line to the President helps." "She decoded the Tesla Letters?" "Five hundred and thirty-two scientists in the world over the last ninety years have tried and..." "Do you think she's single?" "This means Xu could be targeting HEARPE as we speak." "Can't I help you guys from back home in the States where it's safe?" "Without you here, in a few hours there will be nowhere in the world safe." "Come on, let's go." "[music]" "So... that's HEARPE." "Yup... who would've thought the end of the world would look like a giant TV satellite dish." "I don't see any complex." "Wouldn't be much of a secret facility if it was visible, would it?" "It's there." "It's gotta be." "You can be sure my administration will continue to consider Canada as one our biggest allies, in war and trade." "Thank you for your support, Mr. Prime Minister." "Goodbye." "Biggest ally." "Like what do they have, one helicopter?" "They have two." "[chuckles]" "One hundred and forty-six actually." "You're always a stickler for details." "Everyone out." "Now!" "You're willing to be in a room alone with me Harriet?" "Surprises never end." "I know we had a bit of a lovers quarrel." "A lovers quarrel?" "Darling you sold me out to the Xu corporation." "And they put me in a private Chinese prison where we had to fight in death matches." "Mine eyes have seen the glory." "Hand to God, I swear I did not know about that." "What did you trade me for?" "I hope it was very good." "Fine." "If we're gonna be candid," "I know that Carrington is the one who brought you back." "He also offered me my old job back." "[laughs]" "That old raccoon can't be offering anything but a pathetic chapter in this country's history." "We'll force him out of his bunker." "That old raccoon is still holding the nuclear football." "You didn't forget about that perk of the job, did you?" "THE NEST" "I blew it." "Damn it." "I knew it." "I was addressing an America that no longer exists... or cares." "Have you heard from XIII?" "No, sir." "But we did manage to tap into the National WeatherSat." "Telemetry and electro-magnetic signatures indicate a HEARPE deployment is underway in Northern China." "How long?" "Hours." "Which brings me to this." "It's my job to present you with all contingencies, sir." "If XIII should fail his mission, there is another option." "That's a hell of an option." "You could wipe the Chinese HEARPE facility" " off the map in one stroke." " At what cost?" "It would be a tactical deployment, sir." "Not a full first strike." " They wouldn't dare respond..." " Oh Christ!" "Maybe proportionally." "But they wouldn't escalate." "We're talking a strictly limited exchange." "If XIII fails in the mission, this is the only option we have." "So it's come down to this:" "HEARPE or nuclear war." "Doctor Ming Tang has the highest security clearance." "She's our ticket into the mainframe and disabling HEARPE." "Now, I'm not a people person per se, but when you say "our ticket in", by that you mean..." "Don't worry." "We need you here." " Alone?" " I'll have your back." "Oh, great." "She has my back." "Look, if things don't go as planned..." "It will." "Okay." "Put this on the computer mainframe as close as you can to the command center." "As long as you can hook me up with their system," "I can short-circuit any computer." " Throw a proverbial spanner in the works." " Great." "Now all we have to do now is find a way in." "[constant beeping]" "I'm getting electromagnetic radiation spikes just ahead." "[beeping intervals speed up]" " Whoa." " That's gotta be it." "Where are you going?" "Woah!" "A place like this there's gonna be guards and... and..." "There's no need." "It's a fortress." "[music]" "[tense sound]" "[typing on keypad] [beep]" "I'm so posting this on Wiki-leaks." "How did you know all this?" "I don't know." "Programming." "Here it goes." "[music]" "You could have called a meeting, Winslow." "I'm calling it now." "Espresso?" "Latte?" "You're out of control, Victor." "The Central Committee has had enough and I don't blame them." "Pong, the Barnowsky woman, it's far too much bad publicity." "You may have a different face but I know you still understand Chinese values." "Are you sure?" "I make a killer cappuccino." "After the Berzerk incident..." "Xu is finished." "We're taking over and absorbing the assets..." "Once upon a time, you were like us." "Before Barnowsky, The Elder, took you, and made you what you are now." "Before he sold you to Xu." "[music]" "What does it change?" "[music]" "[music]" "Doctor Tang!" "Keep smiling." "Move." "Stay close." "Anyone asks, I'm your long lost friends from our time with the United Nations Climate research Program, okay?" " Don't try to warn anyone." " Our security is very strict." "That's why the tour you're about to give me better be convincing." "Now I know you decoded the Tesla algorithms." "So how about we visit your server room." " Let me show you around." " Great!" "Here at the Hulan Research Facility we use our observatory for ionomy, the study of the ionosphere." "One of our main focuses is the study of sprites and elves." "Sprites and elves?" "Do you really want to play with your life?" "They're transient luminous events." "Sprites are large-scale electrical discharges, which occur over thunderstorm clouds, and cause bursts of shapes and colour..." "Alright, I get the picture." "And this is our master control room." "It's very exciting." "Where's the server room?" "I'm afraid access is strictly prohibited, even to visitors from the U.N." "Whoever you are, you're too late, we're launching HEARPE today." "Do you know what that means?" "Rain showers for the parched-North;" "a chance at a decent sorghum harvest for the East, and a fifteen degree "cooling off" gift for Hong Kong." "If only that were the case." " Victor Gong is weaponizing HEARPE." " Your information is incorrect." "As of this morning, my orders come directly from Winslow Wong." "What the..." "Oh no." "Oh no, oh no... [constant beeping]" "[music]" "Nooooo!" "[constant beeping] [explosion]" "[alarm buzzing]" "There was a bombing on Xu compound." "Core on lockdown!" "[alarm continues]" "Oh my god!" "Winslow." "That had to be Victor Gong." "Look, you care about the world, so do I." "Please I need your help." "Look, we're running out of time!" "This way." "Your people are disillusioned." "They knew what they were getting themselves into." "They believed they were following their President." "They are following their President." "Are they?" "I am the goddamn President of the United States!" " Sir, are you all right?" " Yeah." "I have some good news and some bad news." "All right, give me the good news first." "I need it." "XIII's picked up the package and is enroute." "Ah..." "And the bad?" "You may have noticed the explosions and gunfire have ceased." "And why is that bad news?" "We have no more support outside that door, sir." "Right now, their tactical team is trying to unlock it." "Unlock it?" "Isn't that impossible?" "Theoretically any lock can be broken with enough time and resources." "Ours is particularly difficult, but... to be honest, it's just a matter of time." "I need you to hold them off until XIII completes his mission." "You hear me Reynolds?" "At any cost." "Okay." "[alarm buzzing] [music]" "You know I get his whole "mission" thing, 'cause that's what he does, he saves the world every now and then, but..." "I have fewer idealistic goals." "I just want revenge." " On the Chinese?" " It's a long story." "I'm not going anywhere..." "Ohh!" "Oh, oh." "Hold on." "The computers just threw up a massive firewall." "Something's going on in there." "XIII?" "Talk to us buddy, come on!" "XIII!" "This is my life's work." "My parents wanted me to marry a scientist." "Instead you became one." "A Nobel-prize winning one at that." "I merely stand on Tesla's shoulders." "So much blood shed for these and yet pristine." "They're more sacred than your Declaration of Independence." "Everyone thought the code was in the letters." "They were half right." "They tried to decode every single letter, comma and period that Tesla wrote." "Do you want to know his genius?" "He made the first microchip." "He embedded silver strands into the paper itself." "Each strand incoded with part of the specs to target HEARPE." "The letters don't just have the clues, they are the microchip." "Without all three I..." "I don't think I could have ever made that leap." "Tesla knew someday a worthy scientist would follow." "Yeah, I think he was afraid of that." "[music]" "What are you doing?" "The circuit is one of a kind, it can't be replicated!" "Nooo!" "I'm sorry." "It's not safe!" "These aren't safe here." "Or anywhere." "Nooo!" "This is a heat sensitive room!" "Come on!" "We gotta get out of here we're gonna suffocate!" "No!" "The letters..." "My letters!" "Leave them!" "My letters!" "Push the red button!" "[suffocating] Push the button!" "[alarm beeping quickly]" "Push the button!" "[music]" "Okay." "I have a wireless connection to the servers." "I'm accessing and deleting all the data mined from" " the Tesla letters as we speak." " Good." "They won't be able to replicate any of this technology." "Oh, uh, you should know something." "What?" "There are like a bazillion armed guards about to turn the corner." "Sorry!" "Hello brother." " Am I seeing double or is..." " No, it's Victor." "He wants to set off HEARPE." " I'm going in." " What?" "Someone has to help XIII to get out of there." "It's suicide!" "Are you..." "are you insane?" "You're going to help me." "Don't screw up this time." "I am so glad you came..." "You know it's never the same without an audience." "And you." "You inspired me." "You had the right idea with The Veil, you just... didn't think big enough." "Now originally our plan was to cause a tsunami to hit the Eastern Seaboard of the U.S. Stocks would plummet." "Real Estate would be in the toilet." "Literally." "Stocks?" "This has never been about the U.S. and China." "Has it?" "Well that was our mission." "First you, and then when you failed, me." "But that was the original plan." "Think about it..." "Everything that we've seen:" "all the greed, the hatred, the lies." "You know the human race has so much potential, but it's wasted." "But you and I can solve that..." "Tabula rasa." "I mean we can melt the ice caps, flood the world." " We can even create an ice age." " You should hear yourself talk." "You sound like a comic book super-villain." "Let's bring down the Empire, brother." "Let's bring down all the Empires." "Professor!" "Cock the hammer." "Mr. Gong, once the machine is set, it has to go off." "There is no un-setting it." "That's kind of the point." "This technology was developed to solve droughts and reduce global warming." "I'm a scientist, not a murderer." "Well, it's a good thing I don't have those moral hang-ups." "[gunshot]" "Now is there someone who can operate this, or am I going to have to kill every one of you?" "Betty?" "I've got a trace on XIII, he's in the control room." "Direct me." "Okay." "Okay, hold on." "It's too late." "I destroyed the Tesla letters and your servers." "That information has already been input." "I still have one bullet in the chamber." "All I gotta do is pull the trigger." "[machine vibrating]" "Oh, you hear that?" "That's the sound of the fat lady warming up to sing." "[machine vibrating]" "Oh no." "That's not good." "Is this for real?" "Here's the situation." "We can't blow the door to the Nest without seriously compromising the structural integrity of the White House." "On the other hand, if we wait to unlock the doors, it could take hours, days, I don't know." "Why don't we just let him rot in there?" "He can still launch nuclear Armageddon from that room." "You've gotta face reality, you have to make a deal with him." "With Carrington?" "He's about as stubborn as a breached baby 30 hours into delivery." "I think that I can talk..." "Where are you at?" "[music]" "Alarm for firing point is reached." "About ten minutes, Mr. Gong." "Do you know how many people are gonna die?" "I don't know." "A couple of hundred thousand?" "A hundred million?" "It's getting a bit overcrowded here anyway." "Now, now, let's not fight." "It's turned on." "It's gonna go off, so get some popcorn and watch the fireworks from here." "I'll make my way to the trigger." "Watch him." "Who the hell is this?" "It's Samuel, Ben." "I'm surprised." "This phone is the only one not connected to the communications closet;" "it's safe." "We can talk." "No, I'm surprised that you're on the other end of the line." "I would like to negotiate your surrender." "Surrender?" " Why should I surrender?" " Because the senate has met and they have granted Harriet early presidency." "Other world leaders are dealing with her." "And the Army has come to her side." "There are no more moves, Ben." "If you try to wait any longer, you know how this will end." " I can make you a deal." " What kind?" "Where I disappear?" "Where you go back to your normal life." "No politics of course, but still a relatively normal life." "Don't do it, soldier." "What should I do?" "The hounds are at the gate." "Do the honorable thing." "Take a last stand." "Are you there, Ben?" "You can tell your shake'n'bake soccer mom that she can take her deal and shove it right up her hairless, pink cun..." "He says..." ""No thank you."" "When that door opens, shoot to kill." "XIII." "XIII eyes and ears in three..." "Two." "One!" "[explosion]" " Where is he?" " I'm going after him." " I'm coming with you." " No." "You're not." "I have as many scores to settle as you do." "Guys!" "You can argue later." "Barnabis, you see him?" "I think he talked about a trigger room." "I think it's the one place without cameras." "I saw the way he ran." "In the bowels of the facility." "I'll show you the way." "Follow the green light." "[music]" "Look, I know you want revenge." "But I have to do this alone." "Our only hope is to target HEARPE on itself." "If I'm not back in ten minutes, go!" "[music]" "Ahhh!" "Eghh, ahh." "[groaning and heavily breathing in pain]" "I hate to sound the alarm guys, but you have five minutes to stop it from going off." "[vibrating hum] [screaming in pain]" "[music]" "[quiet]" "You really don't remember anything, do you?" "And yet you just play right back into your programming anyway." " It was a long time ago." " You were the perfect agent;" "cold, ruthless, efficient." "Everything I wanted to be." "I trained you." "I taught..." "And who better to replace you than your protégé?" "[music]" "[music]" "Betty!" "Betty, four guards, at your ten o'clock." "In 5, 4, 3, 2, 1." "[gunshots]" "[door lock clicking]" "It's always an option, sir." "What happened to Brutus?" "Have you heard from him yet?" "Barnabis, Sir." "XIII is still inside the Chinese facility." "The readings show HEARPE has been initiated." "And an Aurora has formed over the Eastern Seaboard, sir." "The Chinese HEARPE had Washington D.C in its crosshairs." "It's just a matter of time." "What if he fails?" "He hasn't failed yet." "Ah yes." "So many copies, so little time." "Ahh!" "I once told you... we can take you out of the box, and we can put you back in." "It's just a matter of necessity." " This isn't real." " Why, because I exist in your mind?" "Does that make me any less real than Victor?" " Where is he?" " Victor?" "He's in your mind." "Why do you think you're here?" " So I can stop this." " No, son." "We brought you here because we want you here." "Just as I created a world for my daughter, we created a world for you." " No, I decide my own fate." " Betty's just like you." "That's why I filled her head with dreams, to keep her safe." "Oh." "She's not safe... she's willing to die just to destroy your little fantasy." "My little girl is stubborn yes, but she's very, very smart." "I'm not worried." "[music]" "Betty!" "Fall back!" "Fall back!" "I'm not moving until he gets back." "I want this to end." "I want this place burned to the ground." "Oh." "Okay." "[gunshots]" "[beep] [airlock door unseals]" "This is your President and commander in chief, stand down marine." "[coughing]" "[music]" "[music]" "[music]" "Carrington started the HEARPE project and you were a part of it." "Programmed agents tuned directly to resonators:" "HEARPE, MK-ULTRA, and your friend Jones was an instructor." "But Carrington had a change of heart, he tried to kill you to make sure this day would never happen." "Look, if you do this, the world will be thrown into chaos." "Chaos is good." "I'm not gonna feed into your sick fantasy." "It's too late, XIII." "You're a part of it." "You always were." "See, a pawn can't remove itself from the chessboard." "Think of HEARPE as a gun, the Tesla letters are the aiming device, this facility the trigger." " And you and I..." " The finger." "You just need to think of the target and boom." " The question is..." " Who grabs the gun first?" "[music]" " Free your mind, brother." " I'm going to break your toy." "What about Betty?" "Your pal, Barnabis?" "You're willing to let them die?" "[music]" "[loud hum] [breathing heavily in pain]" "[music]" "Sorry, brother... [music]" "[gunshot]" "[machine creaking and humming]" "It's gonna be fine, It's gonna be okay." "[music]" "[gunshots] [machine creaking and sparking, falling apart]" "PrimeTime Politics with MISCHA MARTIN" "Next up on Political Hour with Mischa Martin we discuss China-geddon." "Folks, could President Carrington have been right about weather manipulation technology?" "Or has the recent occurrence of simultaneous earthquakes, hurricanes and other natural disasters in China, spell out what many religious groups have proclaimed" ""The End of Times"?" "Stay with us." "Haven't had a chance to watch much television lately, have you?" "Let me catch you up to speed." "The American people think you are dead." "You were killed by a terrorist who was holding you hostage." "But don't worry, I've seen to it that you will be remembered of as a national hero..." " A patriot." " You're too kind." "You were a great man, Ben." "Thank you." "The lip of truth shall be established forever and the lying tongue will last but a moment." "Maybe." "But I will randomly grab some rag head from in here, and I'm gonna put them on trial, and I'm gonna execute them for your murder... and it's gonna all go away." "Revenge is the only thing that the American People care about." "They like a good lynching." "It's in their DNA." "But Ben, I on the other hand, prefer a much more..." "elegant solution, a little more subtle than my conclusion." "I know the game." "I know where I am." "Then you know how the deck is stacked against you." "I know that control is just an illusion." "Do what you will with my flesh Sam." "Carve well." "Carve deep." "But you will never ever touch my spirit." "I'm gonna try, Ben." "This field has come a long way." "I wanna know where XIII is." "And I know you know." "So you and I are gonna get very intimate until you tell me." "Mister President..." "you will tell me." "Is he okay?" "He hasn't seemed quite himself since we got out of the facility." "He's just like that sometimes." "Maybe I've been reading too many conspiracy websites, but..." "How do we really know which one came out of there?" " What do you want from me?" " For you to complete your mission." " What mission?" " Don't you remember?" "I'm not an agent anymore!" "Once one of us, always one of us." " Whose side are you on?" " There are no sides, XIII." "There's only you..." "and me." "And together, we're going to bring down the Empire."
