Same blood, same mud.

Pettibone and Deckert both served

for over 30 years together.

So that means

Pettibone's troops are also...?

- Deckert's.

- Correct.

What's that got to do

with the funeral?

The perfect cover.

Deckert does the guest list...

...only invites his boys to town.

He's got his army.

Now, he's gotta be loading up.

How would he get his gear?

All orders go through

his department, the DOD.

Right.

You want me to hack in?

To the U.S. Department of Defence?

We're talking 500 acres

of hardware.

Cray supercomputers,

encryption chips...

...not to mention more firewalls than

the NSA, CIA and the IRS combined.

Exactly.

Hold my chips.

You know,

you don't have to wait up.

You think I'd leave you

alone with my car?

What's so special about this one?

Shelby Cobra prototype,

Only three off the rack.

We sold it for half a mil

to some senator...

...who'll never take her

out of first gear.

Half a mil for a car?

You been gone a while, D.

Everything's more expensive now.

I could see that.

Come here.

You've done real good, Lo.

No rollbacks, part bins

or stripped engines.

It's a long way

from Zeke's chop shop.

Still got a few bins in the back.

And I still get my hands dirty.

Classic's still a classic.

You remember the first time

we dropped gears in this one?

I remember three squad cars

at 100-plus on the parkway.

Oh, she was fast.

Yes, she was.

You remember all that damage

we did in the back seat?

That was a long time ago, D.

Not for me.

Ready to do some more damage?

He shoots, he scores!

College boy just pulled off the hack

of the century. Requisition order.

Deckert's bringing all his troops

and armoured vehicles...

...through a naval base up the

Potomac to the USS Independence.

It's an aircraft carrier, man.

Looks like we going upstate.

Well, well. Daddy's little girl.

Look, Gibbons, people will believe...

- Stone.

- You miss me?

Apparently, we all did.

She had me fooled too.

Captain?

Harris? Jackson?

- What the hell is going on here?

- It's your old unit.

And you're gonna be

joining them real soon.

- What's she talking about?

- Deckert. He set us up.

- For what?

- I don't know. I didn't get that far.

I was hoping maybe you did.

- You not going nowhere.

- Neither are you.

No, no, no. Don't worry about us.

You know you should've

killed that b*tch!

- Who triggered the alarm?

- It's Stone. He's here.

Liebo, get men fore and aft.

Push him down here.

Take him out now.

Seal the hatch!

You have green light.

Repeat, take your best shot.

Old Sergeant Cobb.

You still too dumb to make captain.

Lieutenant Stone.

Blast from the past.

- That's "Big Daddy Stone" to you.

- So tell me, how was prison?

You'll find out soon enough.

And with a mouth like yours,

they gonna love you on the inside.

Let's go, let's go. Get him.

Fire!

Oh, I'm sorry, was that your ride?

No, but yours is gonna take you

straight to hell.

Loading.

Stand by.

Now!

- Goddamn it.

- Man, that wasn't even close.

Trucks, choppers. What's next?

You gonna sink the ship?

Only if you're still on it.

Keep this up and you ain't gonna

have nothing left, hillbilly.

- Load.

- Loaded.

You and I have unfinished

business, homeboy.

Fire.

Move! All right, come on. Let's go!

- Hey!

- What the hell is he doing?

Where the hell you going?

Over there. That way.

Get that tank topside now.

Move, move.

Bravo Squad to flight deck now.

Locked on.

Fire now.

Goddamn it!

All dive teams in the water.

Lock the area down.

Zodiac One, sweep the stern.

Zodiac Two, starboard bow,

in the midships.

Search Boat One

and Search Boat Two...

... widen your radius

and search the port side.

Dive Team Number Three,

report any visual.

George, I'm addressing

the nation tonight.

So, what's the hang-up

on the new military bill?

Well, if you're reducing troops,

closing bases...

...and cutting R&D,

you leave us vulnerable.

George, we need to increase

international aid.

We need to reverse

this isolationist doctrine.

Maybe then we can turn

some of these enemies into allies.

I know this doesn't particularly

thrill you, George.

But this is going to be my legacy.

- Sir.

- Now, the question is:

Do I have your support?

It goes without saying,

Mr. President.

Call for you.

It's about the new Lincoln

you ordered.

- Yeah.

- Downstairs.

Your car. Come alone.

Take a look.

- It's a map of the Capitol.

- A military map.

- With attack routes, targets...

- I see that.

- Where'd you get it?

- Upstate.

Deckert's little boy scouts

are gearing up for World War IV.

They got tanks, choppers.

- They got Gibbons.

- What do you mean?

Gibbons is not dead.

He's locked up with half my old unit.

- Upstate?

- Correct.

Deckert is setting them up for a fall.

- Fall for what?

- What do you think?

This man is making a move

on the U.S. Capitol.

See this?

Map came from National Recon.

Yeah, Deckert's making a move.

He's running security...

...for the State of the Union tonight.

He's not attacking,

he's guarding these targets.

Oh, that's beautiful.

Perfect cover.

He's got his old crew

suited and booted.

Look, these boys

don't play defence.

Just offence.

It's not enough.

What if you're wrong?

I was wrong.

I thought you was more

than just another suit.

Sir, the security detail...

...they're all ex-military.

- Yeah, I can see that.

All of them served

with Gibbons and Stone.

- It's Deckert's unit.

- Think we got something.

World War IV.

Anything the Defence Department

needs to know?

Sure it's nothing

you don't already know, sir.

- George Deckert.

- Secretary Deckert...

...this is Agent Steele.

Kyle, the secretary wanted to check in

on the Gibbons case.

I have a personal interest

in the case.

Captain Gibbons was a friend.

Well, you can rest assured we're

doing everything we can to find him.

- Find him?

- You know, we never did ID his body.

Terrible thing, accident like that.

Could happen to anyone.

Tell me, Kyle, what did

Darius Stone say to you?

- What do you mean?

- You were the last to talk to him...

...before he got away.

He didn't say much.

No, just a bunch of wild

conspiracy theories, that's all.

Sounds like Stone.

Well, if you hear anything...

I'll know who to chase down.

Sir, could you tell me something?

I've always wondered...

...how do you pick the men

who protect the president?

Simple.

- I choose men I can trust.

- Like Gibbons.

Would've been good to have him

there tonight, huh, sir?

Oh, he'll be there. In spirit.

I'm sure he will.

Good luck, sir.

Sounds like the right bank's

running leaner than the left.

You wanna richen her up,

you're gonna have to remap the ECU.

- What, are you surprised?

- Yeah.

Fact you know

how to tune up a truck.

I didn't always wear a suit.

- How'd you find me?

- It's my job, Darius.

I'm very good at it. Can we talk?

You were right.

Deckert knew Gibbons was alive.

Look at this.

President, VP, Speaker of the House,
