What do you mean you'll take lead?

- I'm XXX.

- Is this you, George?

Are you doing this?

Are you familiar

with the word "treason"?

You're a Jefferson man.

"The tree of liberty must be

refreshed from time to time...

...with the blood of patriots."

"And tyrants."

That's the end of the quote.

I will do whatever it takes

to keep this nation safe and strong.

Compassion? Understanding?

What world are you living in?

Get rid of him.

Okay, Zeke, do it. Do it now.

- Let's redecorate.

- Fire in the hole.

Two Team, 6 o'clock.

One Team, 12.

Sergeant.

Get Gibbons up here.

Roger that. We're on our way.

Let's finish this.

- Good shooting.

- Navy SEALs. High scores, Coronado.

Please. I got high score.

But I beat them in '96.

What, you don't read

the newsletter?

We're coming from the southwest

halls. We'll be with you in 30...

Drop it!

Now! I said, drop it.

What took you so damn long

to get here?

Same old Gibbons.

Maybe I should put this back on.

Don't get a "thank you" or a

"happy to see you, Stone" or nothing.

See? I told you you should have

killed that b*tch.

Brav o to Sub Team.

We can still make this work

if we have Gibbons.

Charlie, where the hell is he?

I'm right here, general.

Checkmate in three.

You should have seen it coming.

Give up while you still can, George.

It's over.

Things not going according to plan?

Sir?

Sergeant, sidearm.

We'll fall back to the train.

Captain, he's got to have a backup.

What would it be?

There's a presidential bullet train...

...three stories down

for emergency evacuation.

Go after him. We'll take care of this.

- Sergeant.

- You, you, out.

Do what he says.

No!

Drive.

Toby, I need a ride. Something fast.

Listen up. I want three Black Hawks

on that pad, ASAP.

Clear the road. I got a car incoming.

Stay clear of the building.

Only security and military

personnel may enter.

Time to throw the last punch,

lieutenant. Go get him.

Heard you needed a ride.

All civilians, remain where you are

until cleared by security detail.

How fast does she go?

Let me know.

- Yeah?

- Steele, where's that train going?

- North-northwest. Straight up l-95.

- Got it.

- Darius, wait a...

- He's not a big fan of waiting.

Neither am I. Let's go.

There it is.

Okay, get me closer.

Faster.

Sit down, Jim.

Feels good, doesn't it?

To get your hands dirty?

F*** you.

Okay, let's see

what half a million buys.

I can't get a clean shot.

Maybe you can't, but he can.

They'll just keep coming, George.

There's no way you're gonna hide.

Why should I hide? The man that

tried to save the president but failed?

I'll be seen as a patriot.

"Tried to save the president but..."

You mean...?

A national tragedy.

Look at it this way:

You might get your own holiday.

Hillbilly, you need to lighten up.

- Brakes are blown. I can't slow down.

- We won't be needing you anymore.

Move.

- Okay, ready.

- All right, here we go.

Drop and slide, lieutenant.

I don't think so.

Can't hold it steady.

Down.

Just like old times, huh?

Yeah. How's that jaw, general?

I think of you

every time I chew steak.

And I thought of you

every night I spent in prison.

Go! Run!

Sir...

...you're gonna have to jump.

Almost in.

I've been waiting for this

for 10 years.

Well, keep waiting.

Your turn to do the dying, general.

Wars come and go,

but my soldiers stay eternal.

What's that you said?

Looks like there's a man who deserves

a presidential commendation, sir.

Yes.

And then some.

Yeah.

And then some.

The nation is in shock today

in the aftermath of last night's...

The assault on the Capitol has

reverberated around the world...

The death toll is unknown. Authorities

say all assailants were killed.

The attack was thwarted

by a joint effort...

... from D. C. Police

and federal agencies.

A group of armed assailants

managed to penetrate security...

Sources confirm

the president is secure.

Secretary of Defence

George Deck ert...

... was buried with full

military honours today.

Secretary Deck ert lost his life

while trying to rescue the president...

... during the attack on the Capitol.

He will be remembered as one

of our nation's greatest heroes.

I love this town.

Now, more than ever,

we need heroes.

So it is with great pride...

... that I bestow this

Congressional Medal of Honour...

... on Kyle Christopher Steele.

And I hold this medal

for the unknown soldier...

... wherever he may be.

For wars come and go...

... but my soldiers, they stay eternal.

Did the president just quote Tupac?

Son of a b*tch stole my line.

So, what's this?

You out?

You know me, Lo.

I'm only good at 100-plus

with a couple of cops on my tail.

And you got a good life here...

That ought to keep me going

another nine years.

D...

...how fast did she go?

Two-twenty, 225.

The second-best ride of my life.

D...

...you forgot something.

Sir, I've got some ideas

for the next XXX.

I think it's my turn to choose now.

Hold on, gentlemen.

I pick the agents.

I think we need to go

even further off the grid next time.

Fresh face. New model.

I've got the perfect candidate.
