continuous interview until I'm either

dead, captured, or victorious.

We'll get them on the

other side. Move. Move.

- Time to go.

- But what if it isn't secure?

Then we make a full and noble

sacrifice for our country.

Oh, great.

Just one man, you say.

I'd like to meet him one day.

Oh, I'm pretty sure you will.

Sh*t...

I am alive

and I am in the Capital.

And I am once again, calling on

the people of our great nation.

Re-take our city.

Citizens already inside the city

should seize

the television station...

and distract the enemy's lines

of internal

communication and supply.

Soldiers outside the city

who remain loyal to government

should lay siege the roadblocks

on the bridges

in order to cut off

and isolate the enemy coup.

We have him. He's cornered.

I'm going to meet the General.

You finish up here.

If he surrenders?

He won't.

The coup forces are brutal.

They depend on the tactics

of the bully.

They rely on acquiescence

and fear to succeed.

But we are not afraid.

We will not acquiesce.

This is our country.

The era of tyrants is over.

That's here.

She's on the top floor.

You see this? She's alive.

Lazar lied to you. That means

you're no longer soldiers.

You're criminals. Criminals.

Stay there. Stay back.

Lower your weapons;

these are civilians.

Turn it off! Petrenko!

You are too late.

The people know that I am alive.

Your little adventure is over.

And what if they

see you shot dead on live TV?

Who will they believe then?

It's bad PR, General. What will

your corporate sponsors think?

Better to arrest her,

put her on trial.

You don't understand

this country, Mr. Gibbons.

The people don't want trials, all those

trappings of democracy you hold so dear.

A good public execution,

that's what they demand.

Vorza.

I'm sorry, General.

I think it's too late.

The people will be against us.

He's right about one thing

though; we shouldn't kill her.

We need her to get out of here.

- What about this CIA man?

- He's finished.

Then who is doing

all that shooting?

At last.

He put up a good fight.

I'm sorry. He will be

remembered as a national hero.

You can still do this, General, I'm

telling you, a trial, some good PR.

It'll be a bit bumpy

for a while,

but just think

of those contracts.

- Vorza, we have the money?

- Yes, General.

And with Petrenko here, we have a good

chance of safe passage out of here.

My men will still be loyal. We get to

the Russian Embassy, we will be safe.

So why do we need this idiot?

I can't think of

a single reason, General.

- Me neither.

- Just a minute, General.

I'm... I'm your friend;

I'm your friend.

After all the things

that we've been through,

you're gonna do this to me?

Time to go.

Get up.

Move! Come on!

Sh*t.

Where are your men, Vorza?

Stand back or we'll shoot.

You know, I've seen

too many guns today.

So I'd rather settle

this the old way.

I've been looking forward

to meeting you, Mr. ex-CIA.

Yeah, probably under

better circumstances.

No, no, no, no.

The circumstances are perfect.

When I'm done with you,

we shall leave.

Traitor!

In a startling

reversal for the military rebels,

President Petrenko has been found

safe and the coup's leader,

General Lazar, has been

killed in the fighting.

Rebel soldiers have surrendered

to government forces

and it seems that this short-lived,

but bloody coup is now over.

Thank you. Thank you.

OK...

So, Mr. Henderson, we never established

whether you were CIA or not.

- It's a gray area.

- Oh.

Let's just say the US government's

pleased the way things turned out.

Right.

And you can call me,

James, by the way.

Oh, in another life maybe.

- Until then...

- Yes, Madam President.

I suppose you'll be wanting

that cell phone contract.

No, that's

someone else's problem now.

I think I'm gonna request

to be moved back to New York.

Turns out I'm not

great with revolutions.

We all have our lives to live,

but just know that my nation

will be forever grateful.

To both of you. Thank you.

Thank you.

So am I ever really gonna

find out who you are, James?

I'm hungry.

Wanna get some breakfast?

- Sure.

- Come on.

I'll let you interrogate me.

Wait. You like bagels, right?

I love bagels.
