secretary of state.

The chain of command.

He takes them out, he's what?

- Deckert becomes the new president.

- That's right.

- Cleanest revolution in history.

- Yeah.

Why are you here?

Call the White House.

Can't. We don't know

how deep this goes.

So, what's your plan?

Figure we gotta go outside the box

on this one.

How far outside the box

are you prepared to go?

Because to get us close

to the Capitol...

...we're gonna need

some brothers we can trust.

Ain't no place like home.

Man, y'all almost had me too.

They got jokes, man. You hear that?

- They got jokes.

- No joke.

- We need your help.

- So why don't you go to the police?

- We don't trust the police.

- Heard that.

Hold this, baby. One second.

Man, you know we got your back.

But this ain't got

nothing to do with us.

This got everything to do with you.

Don't do it for the red, white and blue,

do it for yourself.

Do it for the right to hack and jack

cars of the highest quality...

...on the same block

as the White House.

It's the American way of life, bro.

Now, if you wanna protect

that way of life...

...then you gotta step up

and fight for it.

Because if Deckert takes over,

freedom won't be free for long.

- Nice speech.

- Yeah.

The freedom part

was a bit much, though.

I got some federal heat.

Immigration, IRS.

Couple of homeboys

unjustly accused.

I do this for you, you'll hook us up?

I'll do what I can.

Fair enough.

All right, fellas, get your gear together.

We got some work to do.

Janky, Kevlar panels.

Killa, super jacks.

Dizzle, heavy-duty roll cages.

A**holes and elbows,

gentlemen. Let's go.

Toby. To deal with these guys,

we're gonna need some serious gear.

Well, it's about time.

God, I am so glad

to hear you say that, X.

I got some stuff you're gonna love.

Laser-scope...

...frequency lock, GPS autotracker.

This'll tell you what perfume

a chick's wearing...

...from 30 miles away.

- That'll come in handy.

So will these. Basic scramblers,

jammers, circuit jacks.

Whatever you need.

This is the house special.

I call this one The Glove.

So does everybody else.

Not everybody else has electro-charge

pneumatic suction.

Turn this bad boy on...

See? Nothing.

Nothing at all. Chill

with the butt... Don't.

Just... Hey, hey. Hey.

Come on, man. Why you gotta

play around here? Hey!

We need firepower. Do you have

anything that shoots bullets?

I don't, but Homeland Security does.

Lola. Come on, man, please.

Okay. I'll just call the Pentagon

and see if they deliver.

We don't have to. They've been

running weapons across country...

...in civilian trucks.

Civilian trucks?

- Man, I'm hungry.

- You just ate five minutes ago.

What if I go in the back

and get a slice of cheese?

You'd stop at one slice.

What does Homeland Defence need

with a truck full of cheese anyway?

You ain't never heard

of government cheese?

Let's give them a little assistance.

- Hi, boys.

- Ladies. Look like you're overheated.

- I know we are.

- I mean your car.

I'm not going out without a fight.

- He's retarded.

- Key's in the truck.

Move the level,

because the brakes get stuck.

Hi, I'm Agent Shavers.

We'll be commandeering

your truck today.

Man, we can't let nobody know

a white guy hijacked us.

We'll say it was 7 5 black guys.

We got a truck full of guns,

they pay us to haul cheese?

- That's not cheese?

- So, what you think, D-Train?

This enough bang for you?

God bless America.

You're going to take the president out,

aren't you, George?

No, captain, you are.

They pull the trigger, you take the fall.

- No one would ever believe l...

- What?

Augustus Gibbons

always fought the system.

This week, that fight became a war.

He took out his own NSA unit...

...broke a convict

out of a maximum-security prison...

...staged his own death, ordered

the murder of Jack Pettibone...

...and rallied his old troop

of traitors for one last stand.

I believe it.

You know what

your problem is, Auggie?

You've never been able to see

beyond the bend.

And you've never been able to see

beyond yourself.

You've had your hero's funeral,

Gibbons.

This time, they're gonna bury you

in a pine box in an unmarked grave.

I'm not buried yet.

He's one man, captain.

What can one man do?

Deckert's got all the streets

locked down.

Three blocks in every direction.

There are some streets

he don't know about.

At East Capitol

and Eighth Street...

...we use alleys and warehouses

to bust out behind the Capitol.

- Gonna have tanks waiting.

- Leave the tanks to me.

If it got wheels, we can jack it.

Trust me, daddy-o.

- All right, let's roll.

- All right.

Lock and load. Time to ride out.

The fate of the free world in the hands

of a bunch of hustlers and thieves.

Why should tonight

be any different?

As you can see behind me,

the president is just arriving...

The nation is eager to hear the

president's stance on pressing issues.

Chief among them,

the new military bill.

Ladies and gentlemen,

the president of the United States.

Mr. Speak er,

my fellow Americans...

...tonight I stand before you

to report...

...that the state of our Union

is strong.

We are at a critical moment

in our history.

Nice.

Get crunk, X. Come on, Steele,

get crunk with us.

We now need the courage

to reevaluate...

...the course of modern

American democracy...

...if we are to truly flourish

and survive.

Looks like we got a little

block party up ahead.

- Go through it.

- Hold on.

We must use understanding...

...and compassion...

- They're shooting at us.

- Welcome to the 'hood, college boy.

...and compromise to win battles...

...and not just the sacrifices...

...of the lives of our

young men and women.

Fellas...

...I don't mean to be

a back-seat driver...

...but isn't that a dead end?

- There's no such thing as a dead end.

Now, that's what I'm talking about!

Oh, sh*t.

I think you might wanna back up

right about now.

Go, go, go.

Everybody out now.

- I told you they'd have tanks waiting.

- And I told you...

...if it got wheels, we can jack it.

Move it. Get those jacks

out of there.

Welcome to the first

tank-jacking in history.

We can and must endeavour...

...to win the hearts and minds

of our enemies...

...and turn them into our allies.

And so, my fellow Americans...

...I will ask you tonight

to support this new...

- What's going on?

- We need to move you.

Remain in your seats.

No cause for alarm.

Okay, let's put these dubs to work.

You sure you know

how to drive this thing?

Just trying to get a feel for her.

Yeah! I could get used to this.

You know, somebody

better leave a note.

Okay, split off the vice president.

- What are you doing?

- Just following protocol, sir.

We're in position.

Code red. Code red.

Small-arms fire, Capitol building.

All units respond immediately.

All right, Zeke, the tank is all yours.

Hey, you know what to do.

I'll take lead, you lay down cover.
