- Hold on.

Hold on one sec.

You with me?

- Jeremy?

- Hold on.

Hold on.

- Holding, sir.

- One sec.

Okay.

- Jeremy?

- I'm in an alleyway, okay?

I can see

some abandoned buildings.

- How can you see that?

- I can see it

through a bullet hole.

- Did you say bullet hole?

- We got pulled over

by the police.

There was a shoot-out.

- Are you injured?

Are you in need

of medical attention?

- I lost a lot of blood,

but I tied it off.

I should be all right.

- Do you see

an emergency trunk latch

or any way you might be able

to escape into the backseat?

- Yeah, I see it.

I see it.

You don't understand.

I'm in a box, okay?

I can't get to it.

- You said you tracked it?

You're sure?

It's exactly-

okay, great, great.

okay, great.

Jeremy, I have very good news.

We've triangulated

your position.

- Where am I?

- You're in Severn, Maryland.

I'm sending out police units

to the general area.

- Wait.

Did you say Severn?

Severn, Maryland?

- Yes, yes, that's correct.

- Look, listen to me.

I need you to call

the Anne Arundel County

Police Department.

I need units

to 22 Green Valley Lane.

Do you hear that?

22 Green Valley Lane.

Now!

- Sir, what is at that address?

- My wife.

I think whoever's doing this

to me is holding her.

Look, you have my number.

You get that done,

and you call me back.

- Sir, don't hang up.

I need to-

click!

Here, boy!

Hey, hey, get out of that trash.

Come here.

- Hey!

- Come on, Bodie.

- Sir! Sir!

You in the robe!

- Come on.

- Sir?

Doggie, doggie, come here!

I'm in the trunk of a car.

Please help me!

Yeah, come closer!

Straight ahead!

Come here, boy!

Come here!

Yeah, man, I see you!

- What the f***

are you doing in there?

- I'm being held hostage.

I've been in here for hours.

Please, just get me

out of here, all right?

There's gotta be a latch

in the front seat.

- Hey, is this

some kind of a joke, man?

- No, man.

It's not.

I'll give you some money.

I'll give you whatever you need.

Just open this f***ing trunk,

please.

- Okay, okay, hang on.

I don't need money.

I'll get you out.

- Oh, God, thank you.

- Hey, what the hell, man?

There's a guy passed out

back here.

What's the deal?

- No, man, he's dead.

They shot him.

- What are you talking about?

Man, I don't know.

It better be cool

if I let you out.

This is f***ed up.

I got it, man.

All right.

- Yes! Baby!

- All right, hang on.

Open it!

Open it, buddy!

- All right.

- No!

- F***!

Let me out of here!

Oh, f***.

Come on, man.

Come on!

What are you doing?

Oh, Jesus.

- Hello?

- Jeremy?

- Hey, did you get

to the house?

What happened?

Tell me.

- We sent a unit to the address

you gave me, sir.

I'm sorry,

but there wasn't anyone there.

- Well, they need

to check again.

I mean, send 'em back,

and have 'em look again.

You hear me?

Check again.

- They searched

the entire property, sir.

She wasn't there.

- Look, is there something

you're not telling me?

Did they find something?

They did, didn't they?

Just f***ing tell me, honey,

please.

- Sir, we're doing everything

we can for you and your wife.

- Tell me

what they f***ing found!

- A note on the doorway, sir.

It said, "You'll get her back

in one piece if you cooperate."

Jeremy, we've dispatched units

to your area.

They're checking parked cars.

We're going to locate you.

- I'm already moving.

I'm already gone.

- Jeremy.

Jeremy.

- Yeah, I'm here.

- The numbers are back.

- Yeah, I Know.

Mine too.

They're timing everything

to a tee here, man.

There's a complex plan at work.

Think it got derailed a bit when

we got pulled over by the cops,

but...

I'm moving again.

- I'm running out of time,

Jeremy.

Something's going to

happen soon; I feel it.

- What do you mean?

What are you talking about?

- The numbers,

they started at 15.

15 minutes.

- Read your numbers to me.

- 11:
34, 11:33, 11:32,

11:
31, 11:30.

- The president was arriving

back in Washington this morning.

- Yeah' I know.

I know.

Air Force One was touching down

at Andrews at 9:
40 a.m.

I'm sure of that time,

because I was joining

the national security advisor

this morning

to brief the president

prior to his Vilnius speech

on EU expansion.

- It's a little after 10:00 now.

- How do you know that?

- I got a cell phone

in here now.

Don't ask me how.

- Jeremy, I'm begging you.

Please, you gotta call my wife.

I need to know

that she and my boys are okay.

I don't know

what's going to happen to me,

but, please, you gotta do this

for me.

Please, Jeremy.

Come on, man.

I'd do this for you.

- What's the number?

- It's 757-765-4321.

That's 757-765-4321.

Tell them I love them.

Hurry, hur-

- I got it.

I'll get back to you.

- You've reached

Special Agent Ben Reynolds,

United States Secret Service

Recruitment Division.

- F***.

- You've reached Special Agent

Dale Carter,

United States Secret Service.

- F***.

Where is everybody?

What is going on?

- From Andrews

Air Force Base.

As you may have heard already,

there have been

unconfirmed reports

of an explosion

inside the facility.

With me is Amanda Eastman,

a freshman at Prince George's

Community College.

She stopped to get gas on

her way to school this morning

when the explosion occurred.

Amanda, what can you tell us?

- I was just standing

over there, filling up my car,

when all of a sudden,

I heard these really big booms

right in a row.

Then the ground shook like it

was an earthquake or something.

When I looked over

at the base...

- ...Smoke cloud,

just like they are now.

- I didn't know

what was going on,

but I knew it wasn't good.

- Thank you, Amanda.

Right now, a huge cloud

of smoke is still billowing.

Roads around Andrews

are gridlocked.

Norman, back to you

in the studio.

- And updating you right now

on our breaking news,

all of this just unfolding,

Associated Press and local

sources confirming now

two separate explosions

outside ClA headquarters

in the Langley suburb

of McLean,

two blasts occurring within

just minutes of each other:

one explosion

at the National Highway

Administration Testing Center,

which adjoins ClA headquarters,

then a second, larger explosion

that's collapsed, apparently,

a portion

of the George Washington

Memorial Highway,

which runs directly along

the ClA property line.

There are unconfirmed reports

at this moment

that these were car bombings...

But we don't want to speculate

just yet,

because of course

the situation is very fluid.

As we get more information

by the minute,

we'll bring it to you.

- Coming in.

Be advised every floor

of the west parking structure

is involved.

- Additional paramedic units,

10-76.

- Center,

we have another 10-89.

Can you give us a 10-77

on those bomb squad units?

Still have multiple casualties

throughout the site.

- Okay, come on.

Oh, please pick up, man.

Oh, pick up.

Pick up. Pick up. Pick up.

- Agent Reynolds.

- Ben.

Ben.

It's Jeremy Reins, man.
