from one of the other captives.

We have to warn

the protection detail.

- No, it won't work, man.

He's already in the bunker.

- Goddamn it, Jeremy!

There's an imminent threat

to the president.

His location

may have been compromised.

I'll go myself.

Just tell me where.

- Why are you asking me that,

Ben?

You Know I can't say anything.

They're listening to me.

- What about Molly?

You never told her anything,

did you?

- No.

No, nothing.

She Knows nothing.

They're using her as leverage

against me.

- Jeremy, just trust me on this.

We're tracking the cell number.

We will find you.

- Listen to me.

You find Molly first.

You track her phone,

and you find her.

I'm begging you, man.

You do this for me, okay?

Don't even think about coming

for me.

You find Molly.

- Somebody

get on that other line.

Jeremy, is there anything else

you can tell me?

Anything at all?

- You're running out of time.

- We're doing what we can

as fast as we can.

Now, listen, you're gonna have

a hard time reaching me

because we're on the move,

but I promise I'll call you

back as soon as I can.

Hang in there.

- Yeah.

Okay, Ben.

- For those of you

just joining us now,

we're on the line with someone

calling himself Jeremy

who may be involved

in these attacks.

Sir, this is

Real Time Morning News.

- What the f***?

- Are you still with us?

- Hang up the goddamn phone.

- Can you confirm

what's taking place?

Are you one of them?

- I said

hang up the goddamn phone.

You're doing

exactly what they want.

- Uh, you're live on the air,

sir.

- I don't give a sh*t!

You Know what you're doing?

- I want to repeat

for our viewers right now-

can you confirm whether or not

you're involved in this?

- No, I'm not a terrorist.

- Then are you a hostage?

Because we have reports

they've taken hostages as well.

- Who is this?

What's your name?

- This is Jack Stern, anchor for

Real Time Morning News.

- Okay, Jack.

Let's have a little

conversation, all right?

The best thing you can do

for everyone

is to disconnect this call,

to hang up,

'cause right now, you're doing

everything to their plan.

They want to instill fear

and panic.

You're doing that.

They want paranoia.

You're helping the bad guys,

man.

So stop!

- Can you tell us anything,

anything at all

about this attack?

- You Know what?

You're an a**hole, you fuckhead!

How much do I have to curse

before you'll turn me off?

Stop this, please!

- Had enough?

If you want out,

give us Roulette.

- Go f*** yourself!

No.

No, I'm sorry, all right?

I'm sorry!

I'll tell ya, all right?

I'll tell you what you want

to know-

Listen.

Listen, I'm sorry, all right?

I'm ready to talk.

I'm ready to deal.

I Know you can hear me

in there, all right?

- I'm listening.

- You're American, man.

You're a f***in' American.

Why are you doing this?

Why are you part of this?

- Just tell us

where Roulette is,

or this conversation is over!

- No, it's not,

'cause you need me, remember?

You need me,

not the other way around!

I ain't telling you sh*t.

You f***in' failed, man.

You f***in' failed miserably.

You do all this,

all this effort,

and you got nothing.

You got nothing out of me.

How about that, huh?

You f***in' idiots.

Five minutes, huh?

Five minutes till what,

motherf***er?

- Until you die!

Good-bye, Jeremy.

- No, I say when this is over!

I do!

You don't turn me off!

I turn you off!

Get it?

F*** you!

God.

Hello?

Hello?

- Jeremy!

- Oh, thank God, Molly!

- Oh, I've been trying

to reach you.

- Oh, baby.

- What's happening?

Where are you now?

- The emergency broadcast

system's in effect.

I've been calling you, babe.

I can't reach you.

Are you okay?

- Jeremy, I think I know

where I am.

I think I'm in an ambulance.

- How do you Know that?

- It's dark in here,

but I can hear the siren.

It sounds like

it's right on top of me.

- Hold on. Shh.

- What?

- Something's happening.

- okay.

- They're stopping in traffic.

Are you moving, Molly?

- Barely.

Please, Jeremy, this time,

you gotta get us out of this.

- I promise you, baby,

I've got my whole team on this.

The whole office

is looking for you.

I'm gonna find you,

I promise you, baby.

I promise.

- okay.

- What?

- Molly?

Talk louder.

- What's happening?

Jeremy, are you okay?

- Holy f***!

You were right!

You're in an ambulance,

and I'm in the back

of a f***ing police car.

- Jeremy?

- Molly! Moll?

- Jeremy, I can't-

I can't hear-

- Molly!

Ah.

Molly!

Ah, f***!

God.

Hold on.

Hello?

- Hold that signal, and get

to her as soon as possible.

- Ben?

- Jeremy, listen,

we've located Molly.

We're on our way.

- Where is she?

- Dupont Circle.

- Dupont Circle.

That's a mile

from the White House.

- I know. I know.

We're working as fast

as we can.

- Well, work faster.

- We're trying.

It's chaos out here.

The roads are gridlocked.

I don't even know

how they're transporting her.

- Look, she's in an ambulance.

I'm in the back of a police car.

That's how they're getting us

through traffic.

- Jesus!

Guys, she's in an ambulance.

Let's go.

Let's go!

- I'm not moving right now.

As far as I Know,

she's not either.

You're running out of time, man.

- How much time?

- You got about three minutes.

You need to clear the area,

and you need to keep

the roadblocks in place.

Don't let any cars through,

not even emergency vehicles.

You hear me?

- I'll do what I can.

- No, you promise me!

You don't let any cars through.

- Look, Jeremy,

I can't promise anything.

- Ben? Ben!

Ben?

Ben?

- One last chance, Jeremy.

Give us the f***ing location

of Roulette.

- I'm not giving you anything.

I'm not giving you

a goddamn thing!

- Then good luck to you,

Agent Reins.

I'll tell Molly good-bye

for you.

- You lay one hand on her,

I'm gonna f***in' kill you.

Oh, come on.

Please pick up.

Please, please, please pick up.

- Jeremy.

- Hello, Molly?

Oh, thank God.

Are you okay?

- I'm-I'm moving again.

- Oh, the f***in' roadblocks.

I told him to keep 'em in place.

- What-what roadblocks?

Jeremy,

what the hell's going on?

What's happening?

- Listen to me.

Do you trust me?

- Jeremy.

- Do you trust me?

- Yes, I trust you.

- Okay.

- What?

- Well, we're together, babe.

- What?

- We're traveling

right next to each other.

- What?

Did-did you tell them

what they wanted to know?

- No.

I can't do that.

I took an oath, Molly.

Jeremy, please.

I don't want to die today.

Please just give them

what they want.

Please, for me.

- I never wanted to do anything

to let you down, ever.

I Know I've done things

to hurt you.

I never wanted to in my life.

- Jeremy.

- But I hurt you,

and I'm sorry.

I...

I can't think

about those things now.

I can't do anything about it.

But I'm asking you now

to accept me,

to accept me for who I am.

- Of course.

Of course, baby, I accept you.

I love you no matter what.

- I love you so much.
