- Jeremy?

- What the hell is going on?

I've called every extension

at the office.

I'm not getting anybody.

- Jeremy, you're alive.

Where are you?

- What?

What?

What do you Know, Ben?

- Please don't tell me you're

inside the trunk of a car.

- How do you Know that?

- You're not the only one.

Seven others:

four Secret Service, two FBl,

even the Deputy Chief of Staff,

maybe more.

We've had several 911 calls.

We're trying to locate

their positions now.

One just detonated

outside Langley.

Jeremy, I have to go.

We're the last ones

in the building,

and we're evacuating.

We could get hit next.

- Wait, wait,

whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Detonated?

Wh-what are you talking about?

- Bombs.

Car bombs.

You're lying inside one.

I'm sorry, Jeremy.

I have to go.

I'll call you back

at this number.

- Wait, Ben, I need your cell.

Ben?

Ben!

I need your cell.

Hello?

- Jeremy!

- Molly?

- Oh, my God,

I'm in the trunk of a car.

And it-it's moving,

and I can't get out.

- No, no, no.

- F***.

- I'm so scared.

- Tell me where you are.

What's going on?

- I'm in a car, and it's moving,

and I don't know what to do.

- Okay.

All right, just stay with me,

all right?

- Okay.

- I'm here.

I'm here.

Let's think with each other

for a minute, okay?

- okay.

- Did you see who put you

in the car?

- I don't know.

It all happened so fast.

- Okay, all right.

I need you to stay calm,

all right, babe?

We need to think.

We need to stay calm

and just try to relax, okay?

- Why is this happening to us?

What do they want?

- This is all part of

a terrorist attack.

They want information

on the president's bunker.

I've got the info.

They're trying

to get it out of me.

- Oh, my God.

This can't be happening.

Jeremy.

- Listen to me, Molly.

Molly, can you hear me?

- Yeah.

Jeremy, I'm so scared.

- I Know.

I know.

I'm going to get you

out of there.

I'm going to get you out

in one piece, I promise you.

Do you believe me?

- Yeah.

- Listen, there's something

I want to tell you,

something I've been meaning

to tell you for a long time.

Um...

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry...

for everything I did

with Morgan,

for-for not being trusting,

and just for letting you down.

I...

I'm sorry.

Why are you-

- Hello?

Moll-Molly?

- Jerem-

- Molly!

- Jerem-

- Hello?

Please.

Hello?

Oh, f***.

F***!

...Doing to me?

F***in' driving me crazy.

Oh, God damn, please.

Oh, please help us.

- Jeremy?

Jeremy, are you still there?

Come on, Jeremy.

Please answer me

if you're still there.

Jeremy.

- I'm still here.

- Did you call my family?

What's happened to them?

Are they all right?

- I haven't called 'em, Henry.

- Jeremy, please, come on.

I'm begging you, please.

Please.

Damn it, you gotta call them.

I need to know

that they're okay.

I don't have much time.

- I'm calling 'em now.

- Thank you.

Thank you.

757-765-4321.

- Who is this?

- I'm looking for a Mrs. Shaw.

- Who the f*** are you?

- Just put her

on the goddamn phone.

Now.

- Bring her to me!

- No!

Let my mom go!

Please let her-

- Shut up!

- No.

No, please, don't.

- Now you talk.

- They said they're gonna kill

my husband.

They're gonna kill us all.

Please, just give them

what they want.

No, no.

- Now, you listen to me,

Agent Reins.

Give us the location

of Roulette,

or I start executing

these people one by one.

Tell me now!

- No.

beep!

- Jeremy?

Jeremy, help!

Help me!

Something's happening!

- What's going on, Henry?

What's wrong?

- Jeremy, the trunk is filling

with some kind of liquid,

and I don't know what it is.

- Liquid?

What?

Just keep talking to me, Henry.

Just-just don't stop.

Keep talking to me.

- Jeremy, it's filling.

It's filling up,

and I think I'm gonna drown.

There's no left-time left

on the clock.

What's gonna happen to me,

Jeremy?

Are they really gonna

let me drown?

Jeremy, please.

Just give them what they want.

This is my life, man.

Just tell them.

Just tell them!

- I'm sorry, Henry,

but I can't do that.

I'm so sorry.

Our father who art in heaven,

hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come,

thy will be done

on Earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day

our daily bread,

and forgive us our trespasses

as we forgive those

who trespass against us.

And lead us not

into temptation,

but deliver us from-

Henry?

Henry, you still with me?

Henry.

- We are experiencing

an unusually high call volume.

Please try your call again

later.

- Oh, sh*t.

- This station, in cooperation

with state and federal

authorities,

has activated

the emergency broadcast system.

Please do not use

your telephone.

Stay tuned to this station for

news and official information.

I repeat, this is not a test.

We are standing by

for an announcement

from the president.

With the additional bombings

at Andrews Air Force Base

and other locations

around the capital,

it is clear

we are under attack.

The president and first family

have been taken

to a secure location.

Air Force One touched down

at Andrews Air Force Base

just minutes before three bombs

exploded there.

Smoke can now be seen for miles

all around Washington,

and more explosions

may be imminent.

Please stay off the highways

and roads.

Emergency vehicles

need to get through.

Stay in your homes.

We're awaiting

the president's address.

As soon as that happens,

we will go directly to it.

Right now, though,

let's go immediately

to Suzanne Gibbs

at the Capitol.

And, Suzanne, you had

a front-row seat

to see what's going on there

as lawmakers stream

out of their offices.

- Hello?

- Jeremy, it's Ben.

Are you there?

- Ben.

Ben, what do you Know?

What is going on?

- Car bombs are going off

all over the district.

We can't locate them

before they detonate.

They're a step ahead of us

every goddamn time.

- Ben, they have Molly.

They have her in a trunk.

I talked to her.

- Ah, Jesus, Jeremy, I'm sorry.

- Listen to me.

They're targeting the president.

- Well, I'm getting this

all secondhand,

but the vice president's safe.

I don't know about POTUS

and the first family.

My guess is, they're already

off the locator,

but I can't get confirmation.

I'm out of the loop

since I took over recruitment.

- That's what

the terrorists want.

They want everything to go

underground.

- What are you talking about?

- How many bombings

have there been?

- Five confirmed:

Andrews, Langley,

a toll station on 395,

Reagan National,

and now the 14th Street bridge.

That's a huge mess.

The District's

completely paralyzed.

- That's what they're doing.

They're taking away

all the avenues.

They're taking away

all our resources.

They're containing

the f***ing city

so nobody can get in or out,

even the president.

- Then he's certainly been

secured.

- Yeah, at Roulette.

That's why I'm in here.

They want the location

of Roulette.

That's what they're trying

to get out of me.

- Jeremy, listen to me.

They may already have that
