Here at the very place

where the rights of our people

were signed away by that

traitor, Tania Petrenko,

and her fellow travelers.

And she had the temerity

to call herself president.

All that is finished now.

The rightful government

is being restored.

At six o'clock this morning as dawn

breaks over our glorious homeland,

I will announce to our grateful nation

the end of Ms. Petrenko's tyranny.

The arrangements?

The crew will set up

in the penthouse.

- It has the view over the city.

- You have setup office for me?

- Yes.

- Show me.

Did you get all that?

Yeah, I heard.

Did you get those supplies?

Yes, I have the supplies.

All right, good.

Hurry back as quick as you can.

What's going on?

Uh...

General Lazar is here.

Well, that was to be expected.

This place has

a special importance for him.

He want to gloat.

He's going on TV at 6:00 am

to declare his victory.

So, uh, guess we know

who's running the show now.

I need to get a broadcast

out ahead of him.

We meet again.

Am I invited to the party?

Um, it's been a long night.

I needed something to eat.

Well,

there's plenty to celebrate.

Maybe you don't get it because

democracy is old news in the west.

Jesus Christ...

We are in

the middle of a moment.

People who have never known

freedom are rising up,

but this moment is as

fragile as butterfly wings.

The west come in with too heavy

a hand and we fall apart.

The tyrants get away

with their brutality

and it will take us another 20

years and another generation

for another moment to arise.

I mean, no wonder Lazar

tried to kill you.

So, are you going to help me?

First, let's take

a look at that wound.

Your floor, I think.

Oh, um, no, I'm on

the third floor. One more.

Of course.

There's something I've

forgotten. Please excuse me.

You, with me.

Go ahead and setup.

I'll join you shortly.

Good evening.

Check every room.

There's something not right.

You know, your technique

is pretty professional.

- - I was a

pediatrician before this.

Oh, yeah?

What, after looking

after all those kids

you never had any of your own?

My second time in jail,

Lazar was very angry with me.

After he so

generously let me out,

I went back

and started protesting again.

He hit me in the stomach

with a lead pipe.

So after that,

I couldn't have children.

I'm sorry.

You know, you really are a lot

more gentle than you let on.

I think you've been hurt enough.

Sh*t...

Open up. Check that door.

They're gonna be here

in a second.

I need to hide you, OK?

Come on.

Sorry.

I need you to lie down flat.

As flat as you can. Come on.

There you go.

Coming.

Just a second.

Open the door. Open up.

This is your last chance.

Oh, hi, guys. I'm sorry.

I was in the john.

How can I help?

You really should be downstairs.

We don't want civilians running

around getting into trouble.

Yeah, uh, sorry.

I recognize you.

You were at the reception

earlier with let me see,

Gabrielle. Is that her name?

Yes, yes, we're here to, uh,

expand the cell phone network.

In fact, I can show you...

- Hey!

- Ah! Holy sh*t. Oh, God, uh...

- What are you doing?

- I was, uh,

going to show you a brochure,

if you want. Yeah?

I'm sorry.

That's my company, Transglobal.

Good, good.

We are becoming modern country

and need modern tools.

I apologize for this.

It's been a long night.

Yeah, of course.

Oh, and I've been drinking

too much coffee.

Petrenko. Petrenko's here!

Don't move. Don't move.

You shoot me and every soldier in the

building will be here in minutes.

Actually, you're right.

James!

James, no!

No, James!

What the f***?

Your lucky day.

Are you OK?

I'm OK.

We can't stay here.

If Vorza got away,

he'll be back with an army.

All right. We need to move the

body before somebody discovers it.

We need to find a cart.

- I'll get one.

- OK.

I'm sorry.

A reminder to our viewers, this

scene that you're looking at right now,

the men with the guns, cars on

fire, these are all live images.

We believe these are skirmishes between

pro-democratic and anti-government forces.

Where's Vorza?

He went upstairs with the TV

people, sir. He'll be back soon.

- Tell him I'm gonna be on the third floor.

- Yes, sir.

- Lazar! Murderer!

- Victor, no!

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Shh, shh, shh, let him go.

Our city was built by warriors.

The Teutonic Knights established

the fortress overlooking the river

and held back

the infidel for a century.

Crusader armies

would march through the town

and that keeps

protective shadow.

Man in steel, wielding steel

are what carved civilization

from the wilderness.

A man takes what he wants.

A thief takes he wants.

Not so good with your hands.

Not so good with a blade either.

Men take what they want...

and accept the consequences

if they fail.

Clean this mess up.

Get these people out of here.

Find Vorza!

You two, watch these civilians.

We need to find Vorza. Come on.

- He's heavy.

- Yes.

James.

Thank God. You're alive.

I won't be for much longer.

What the hell are you doing?

Trying to clean up after you.

OK. They're gonna be

looking for Vorza.

They're probably gonna

come up floor by floor.

So we should go up one.

Give us time to,

well, hide this guy away.

- You go ahead.

- Wait, where are you going?

I need to clean up the room.

If they realize

what happened in there,

they'll come after you.

I'll take my chances. Come on.

She's right, James.

It puts all of us at risk.

- There's no time.

- Two minutes.

I just need it to look like there

wasn't a gunfight in there.

All right, fine, but be quick.

- All right.

- Come on. Let's get outta here.

God.

OK. Um...

This can go, um, go...

under here.

Under here. It's fine.

In there. Let's go. Come on.

All right.

In the wardrobe.

Jesus!

Oh, God. Yes.

There we go. Oh, Jesus!

Um... I need to cover that.

Jesus.

Heavy. OK.

All right. I'm gonna cover him up and

make him look like he's taking a nap.

Who the hell is this?

Who the hell is this?

- Gabrielle, how's it going?

- Another two minutes.

- All right, we're in 314.

- OK.

Oh, my God. Oh! OK.

All right. That's fine.

Bullet holes in the wall.

Bullet holes.

All right, that is not covering.

OK. OK.

Blood. More blood.

This is disgusting.

This is disgusting.

Room now. Go.

F***...

Get that door.

I'll check the next one.

Good job. Now what?

- I need to find that TV crew.

- No, you'll get yourself killed.

I need to speak to the country.

- You OK?

- Yes...

Sit down, sit down,

sit down, sit down.

Let me take a look.

Excuse me.

Sorry, do you mind?

Sorry, we have to

check the room.

Sure, you do.

Hope you find

what you're looking for.

- This is coming a little loose.

- OK.

Good to go?

We don't have much time.

Make sure

the transfer comes through.

That's it.

- Well, that was close. Lazar.

- Lazar?

Mm. You know, I've been

thinking, why is he here?

We know that.

This place has a special

meaning for him. For me.
