Are the gold codes

in here?

Not yet.

Dan Wilcox will deliver them

to your designate.

All right then.

Well, if we're finished here

I should get going.

Join me for a drink,

a toast to your administration.

As much as I'd like to,

it's still a little early

in the morning.

- You sure?

- Yes.

To your administration.

Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. President.

Thank you, Mr. President.

Please extend my gratitude

to your transition team...

for all they've done.

You know what

the talking heads are saying?

They're saying that

I lost this election

because I didn't want to win it.

They're saying that...

my heart wasn't in it.

What about you?

Me?

Do you agree

with their opinion?

I don't believe

there's a simple answer

to that question.

[ Laughing ]

You are right.

Nothing about this job

lends itself to simple answers,

just, uh,

jagged edges and moving parts,

most you won't even see coming

till they've smacked you

in the head.

So, uh,

be careful,

Madam President.

See you at the inauguration.

[ Man Chattering,

Indistinct ]

Are you all right?

I'm not sure yet.

Gentlemen.

We just got word

of a coup in Sangala.

Daniels has ordered

the embassy to evacuate

without even consulting me.

Is it the right call?

Right or wrong, he should have

brought me in on the decision.

Maybe he's still bitter

about the election.

Noah Daniels

isn't that vindictive.

You think he has a reason

for pulling out of Sangala

before you take office.

Maybe.

I'll call Ethan from the car.

If Daniels is

hiding anything about Sangala,

he'll be able to dig it up.

[ Man On Radio ]

It's definitely the bus

from Okavango.

They were here not too long ago,

at least a dozen boys.

I don't care how many boys.

How many men? Just Benton?

- Or is he with that bastard

that killed my brother?

- There were two men.

- Along the river would

be their fastest route.

- Good.

Colonel Dubaku, I am sorry

to hear about your brother,

but I need you here.

Are you ordering me

to stay?

A campaign is just beginning,

and you are critical

to its success.

There will be time

for you to avenge your brother

after we have taken power.

The man

who killed my brother...

is heading toward

the American embassy.

They are evacuating

within an hour.

That is all the time I have

and all the time I need.

Sir!

Excuse me, General.

Sir, the men

are ready, sir.

Go.

Go.

[ Anchorman ]

President-elect Taylor...

will make her way to the steps

of the U.S. Capitol where,

standing before thousands

of American citizens and--

[ Sighs ]

[ Beeping ]

[ Pills Rattling ]

[ Thumps ]

Is this everything,

Mr. Whitley?

You've been stealing

financial records

from your office.

Those files are private property

and I'm here to recover them.

Is this everything?

Uh, look, I-- I saw something

didn't look right,

took it home to check it out.

It's probably a mistake--

Just calm down.

Answer my question.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

That's everything.

It's all there.

- What about your laptop?

- Um, it's, uh--

- It's in my briefcase,

if you want to check it.

- Did you make any hard copies?

No, I swear--

I-- I barely even

looked at those files.

- Who have you shown them to?

- No one. N-Nobody.

So, um,

just erase it,

take whatever you want,

then you leave.

Okay?

Are we cool?

Whoa. Whoa!

Hey, do we look

like fools to you?

Huh? Do we?

Do we?

No! No! No!

Then don't talk to us

like we are.

Okay--

Sit down.

Open your shirt,

Mr. Whitley.

Why?

Your shirt.

What are you doing?

You're going to tell us

everything you know,

and we'll know

if you're lying.

Just leave it alone, okay?

Chris asked me

not to tell anyone.

I am not "anyone."

Come on, Sam.

I don't trust him.

Then trust me.

- We're here, sir.

- You made great time, Edward.

[ People Chattering ]

Look, I know that Chris

is your friend.

It's just this idea of you

having a secret with him--

I gave him my word

I wouldn't tell anyone.

You need to

respect that. Okay?

[ Sighs ]

Okay?

Okay.

Okay.

Big turnout.

[ Shutters Clicking ]

It's crazy having a mother

who's the hottest

ticket in town.

[ Chattering Continues ]

[ Phone Ringing ]

Vossler.

It took some doing, but we

managed to recover the files.

What's our exposure?

Unclear.

We're working on it now.

Find out

and call me back.

[ Woman ]

Hi. How are you?

[ Chris Whimpering ]

[ Muffled Screaming ]

Clear.

Willie.

Take Desmond.

That's it.

Thomas,

stay close, okay?

Jack.

There's a road

through those trees,

takes us to the city.

We should be safe

when we get there.

You follow the riverbed.

That'll take you

to the border.

You'll get there

before dark.

You sure?

Jack, we'll be fine.

Thanks for helping us

get this far.

Yeah.

You take care of yourself.

Always.

[ Helicopter Rotors

Whirring, Faint ]

Carl. Carl.

[ Rotors Continue Whirring,

Louder ]

Kids in the trees.

In the trees! Now! Move!

[ Carl ]

Run! Quickly!

There.

Line them up.

Hurry up! Hurry up!

Take cover! Take cover!

Hurry up!

- Fire!

- Take cover! Quickly!

[ Jack ]

Boys, keep running!

Keep running! Don't look back!

Keep running!

- Move!

- [ Machine Gun Fire Continues ]

Now he's coming behind.

[ Rifle C*cks ]

I got a shot.

Roll 'em out.

Now!

- [ Gunshots ]

- [ Machine Gun Fire ]

They're going down.

Go, boys! Come on!

Now! Hurry up!

Go! Go! Go!

Go!

Pull it up! Pull it up!

[ Alarm Blaring ]

[ Jack ]

Come on.

Come on.

It's all right.

Let's go.

[ Whispering ]

Willie, come back.

Come back.

Willie, get back here.

Stop. Stop!

Don't-- Don't move!

[ Clicks ]

Jack!

Stay there.

Don't move.

Don't come near me.

- I didn't want to leave this.

- I know, I know.

It's all right.

Go with Thomas.

Willie, it's all right.

Come with me.

Slowly. Slowly.

Stay on the path.

Go with the other boys.

Go.

Forget it, Jack. Just go.

Take the kids and go.

Damn it, Jack.

There's nothing we can do.

There. Okay.

It's round,

in a gray casing,

with a Cyrillic "b"

and the number "291"

stenciled on the side.

Spring-loaded.

Russian antipersonnel mine.

Five kilo.

I take my weight off,

and that's it.

I'm gonna try and disassemble

the trigger mechanism.

- It's got

an anti-tamper system.

- I'll find a work-around.

-Even if you had the tools,

it'd take more than an hour.

-There's gotta be a kill switch.

There's no time, Jack.

Stop.

Just give me a second.

Jack, stop.

Stop!

It's all right, Jack.

I can die like this.

Just-- Just take the kids

to the embassy.

Make sure they're safe.

Carl, don't do this.

Shh, shh, shh.

Take--

Take these papers.

Sponsorship papers.

Give them to Tramell.

Please, Jack.

Please.

Give me the rifle.

I'm gonna buy you

some time, Jack.

Maybe more.

Yeah.

Go on.

Go.

Go. Go.

Go ahead with Jack.

I'll be right behind.

- Mr. Benton!

- I'll catch up.

Go. Go.

We gotta go.

We gotta go.

Please. Come on.

Let's go.

[ Thomas ]

Let's go.
