I've never seen these guys in my life...

They were shooting at me.

What was I supposed to do?

Turn around and look?

Okay, relax. Hey, relax!

I'll be right back.

Mr. Carter.

I got a woman back there

who claims people are trying to kill her.

She's right. I'm part of a

detail assigned to protect her.

No offense.

She's with us now. We've got that covered.

No, look, she's my responsibility.

And I got a crime scene that looks like

a war zone. So you just sit tight.

Give these people a call.

I wanna verify this guy's story.

You know what? I think I've changed

my mind. I'm just gonna go.

Have a seat, please.

Seriously, I'm fine.

I just need to go.

Take a seat.

This is Detective Redman,

Ashton PD.

I've got a Jake Carter here.

Claims to be part of a security team.

Hold, please. Let me patch you through.

Detective Redman, my name is Ethan Smith.

I'm with the Justice Department.

- I need you to listen very closely.

- Okay.

Jake Carter was involved in an attack

on our DOJ motorcade this morning.

Barely made it out myself.

He's ex-military, well trained...

and should be considered

extremely dangerous.

His accomplice is a young woman

named Olivia Tanis.

Is she there as well?

Yeah, that's right.

Good. Hold and secure them both.

Take no chances.

Myself and my DOJ team are en route.

Thanks. I appreciate that.

- We're good?

- We're good.

On your knees.

Hands behind your head. Cuff him.

Down now!

- What the hell is going on?

- Shut up.

- You're making a mistake.

- I said shut up.

What are you doing?

You're making a mistake.

What are you doing? No. Stop.

Let's go. Get him up.

Let's go. Come on.

- Whoever you talked to is lying.

- Move it. Walk.

This is bullshit.

You son of a b*tch. What did you say

to them? Why am I getting arrested?

- You should have trusted me.

- That's enough.

I don't know what the real story is

with you, but I'm gonna find out.

You want the real story?

Call the Department of Justice yourself.

- Confirm what they told you.

- We'll sort this out when they get here.

Watch them.

Wait. Who's coming?

Who'd you talk to? Hey! Who'd you talk to?

- What are you doing?

- My job.

No. We do this my way.

I'll go in, talk to whoever's in charge...

there's a novelty...

get them to give me the girl,

and we're done, clean.

Go right ahead.

Hi.

- Can I help you?

- I sure do hope so.

Uh, my name is Ethan Smith.

I'm with the Department of Justice.

I need to speak to Detective Redman.

I believe he's expecting me.

I'll get him for you.

Oh, thank you very much.

Lovely town you have here.

Let's go.

I do things my way.

Carter!

Stay on my hip.

Come on. Come on.

Run. Go to ground somewhere.

Hide. Anything.

Contact the attorney general's office

directly. No one else. Got it?

Go.

Wha... No...

Get your wounded. I'll cover you. Go.

- Let's go! Move it!

- Get out the back.

Come on.

Move it! Move it! Let's go! Come on!

That's Carter.

So much for doing things your way.

Perimeter? Check 6:00.

Dawes. Bring it.

Jake Carter! My name's Simon Vogel!

It's nice to meet you.

I can't say the same.

I have to admit, I respect your skills.

But you died the moment

you put that suit on.

- Where's Olivia Tanis, Carter?

- Why don't you come take a look?

Oh, yeah, that's cute.

Only if you promise

not to run away this time.

Examine your situation.

You're pinned down and outgunned.

Tell us where she is, Carter,

and you can walk away from this.

You got maybe 10 minutes.

Backup's on the way.

You should think about your next move.

I just murdered a whole police station.

What's a few more?

Be smart, Carter. Give us the girl.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

We don't know if she's with Carter.

You're either in front of the gun

or behind it.

You choose.

Get in!

Go, go, go, go!

Let's go! Let's go!

Go!

- So now what are we gonna do?

- Drive! Just drive!

Sh*t. Sh*t.

Get off the main road!

Here they come!

Move! Let's go! Move it!

Sh*t.

Run him down! Faster!

- Faster! Move it!

- Are you crazy? I can't-

Faster!

Jesus Christ! I want this guy!

- Faster!

- Christ!

- You're losing him.

- Come on, Grant!

Are you okay?

Move! Just go!

Let's go. Time to clean it up.

Here, take that. Take it.

We gotta move.

We gotta move. Let's go.

Grab your gear.

They've gone to ground.

We'll hunt them on foot.

Wait. Are you sure

that's the wisest move?

Carter's just turned the

tables in his favor.

He knows what he's doing.

That's why he went into the woods.

What options do we have, huh?

If you have any ideas, I'm all ears.

Hey, listen. We are dwindling numbers,

in case you haven't noticed.

We've got to regroup,

call in more muscle and go in at sunrise.

They are on foot

and will be blind when it gets dark.

They're not gonna get far.

You'll wanna lose this.

Hayes. Call Marcus.

We're going in first thing in the morning.

No, no. Let me help you.

Sorry. I'm not a nurse.

Told you to run back there.

Something you should know about me by now.

I don't listen too well.

Can you pass me

one of the clips?

Thanks.

You would have done the same.

Hey. I found this.

See if you can get a signal on it.

No, there's no signal,

but I'll keep trying.

I should have trusted you. I should

have just trusted you from the start.

Hey. I walked into

that police station.

- Don't.

- They're dead.

That's on me.

No.

It's on the people

who sent those bastards after you.

None of this is your fault.

Hey.

What are you doing?

This is an encrypted Web address

with my password.

It's everything that I know on Genesis.

It implicates half the board of directors.

You're the only one that I've told.

You know,

just in case.

We're gonna be fine.

When this is over,

you're gonna get to watch them all burn.

So what now?

We keep moving

until we get a signal on that phone.

Our only play is contacting the

attorney general directly somehow.

How the hell do we do that?

I haven't figured that part out yet.

So what, we're just supposed

to die out here in the woods?

Did I say that?

We stop running.

Come on. Let's keep going.

We'll find a signal.

Still nothing.

Okay.

So we've got the river in front of us

and the ridgeline all around us.

There's... five hours till sunrise.

That's when they're gonna come for us.

But then we're trapped,

and they know exactly where to find us.

That's what I'm hoping for.

Come on. We got a lot of work to do.

All right, Liv.

This is where we part ways.

Head that way towards the river

and follow it.

Eventually you'll hit a road.

No way. I'm safer with you.

- I don't wanna argue with you.

- Good. Then don't. Let's go.

Got more blood here.

They definitely came this way.

Dawes, you got anything?

Cops got nothing so far.

The whole area

is still locked down.

Roadblocks, checkpoints, everything.

Everyone take a deep breath.

Let's take our time. Do this right.

- Is that Genesis?

- Yep.

What do they want?

For you to do your job.
