[ Helicopter blades whirring ]

Still no response over POTS,
HF, and Navy Red,

but I got ahold of
Florida PD.

They've sent a response team,
and we've got them on the line.

If POTUS is in that bunker,
he won't come out.

He can't.
-It'll be a hard decision.

Lots of hostages in there.

[ Grunts ]

Yeah, this'll do.

[ Door slams open ]

Who else is here?

Who are you with?
-I'm alone.

[ Gasping ]

[ Neck snaps ]

You good?

Yeah, I-I-I'm fine.

I-I tried to call the cops,
but got cut off.

I just figured maybe the HF.
-We can't broadcast wide.

These guys are good.
They'll hear us.

ButNathan Jamesmonitors
Guard Net 4.1,

Plug it in.
Sir.

Nishioka: We've got
a distress call on 4.1, sir.

MCPON is calling.

Russ, this is Tom.
Are you under attack?

Yes, sir. They've taken
the command center.

A team of
about a dozen guys.

They have Admiral Slattery
and the Joint Chiefs.

General Kinkaid, sir,
he's dead.

Ensign Swain tried the cops,
but the line was cut.

They're on their way.

The president,
is he okay?

So far, Reiss is secure,
but they've located the bunker,

and they're trying to get in.
-The bunker.

Sir, it'll be impossible
for Florida PD to get in here.

They've sealed off
every entrance.

Gustavo's guys
know the place by heart.

They're working off
stolen blueprints

of the command center, but they
don't know the NASA campus.

Russ, you remember the old
tunnels from the '60s?

The ones that head out
to the launch pads?

Yes, sir.

They dead end at an old service
entrance in the basement.

No mention of the tunnels
in the intel from Camp X.

That's our way in.

SWAT team leader,
this is Navy Spear.

We have an insert.

Proceed to the launch pads
for tunnel access. Over.

-Roger that. -Ensign Swain?

Present, sir.

Once SWAT clears the tunnel,

can you get them in
from where you are?

Yes, sir.

I think so, sir.

SWAT reports they can reach that
service entrance in 5 minutes.

[ Speaking Spanish ]

That mean I can go?

Home.

You guys said if I do this,
you'd let me go.

Sit your ass down,
homeboy.

But I did my part.

Please.

My girl's only 8.

Not much firepower

And neither one of them can
fight like you hand-to-hand.

Remember that.

Wolf, you're Swain.

Danny, you'll play

[ Gun cocks ]

They got a dozen or so

We can expect to find one

Yep.

U But after your boys
break into the war room,

there's no telling where
Gustavo's men will be.

It's anyone's game.

Nishioka: Sir, we're picking up
a broadcast

on the Emergency Alert System.

Gustavo:United States of America.

I come to you with a message
of peace from Gran Colombia.

But first you must
know the truth

so you understand why
our two countries are at war.

You have been lied to
about the famine,

and now about
the reason for this war.

Your government didn't tell you
the cause for the Red Flu,

the military experiments,

the leaks at the biolab.

They didn't tell you
how they hoarded the cure,

and now they're not telling you
how they sold you out

so they could control
the people of South America.

There's no way
you'll turn her.

Don't have to.You need to understand what
was done behind your backs.

Just need enough of
a distraction to get a gun.

How you were sold out
by your own leaders.

Deals were made.

Deals that benefited
only those fortunate enough

to have emerged from the dark
period with wealth and power.

The rest of us --

North
and South Americans alike --

were left to beg.

Your president not only
okayed these deals,

but he brokered them.

-No one will believe this.
-Shh.

President Reiss, along with his
predecessor, President Oliver,

worked hand-in-glove
with the powerful elite

from across the continent

to ensure their hold on power
was firm.

That is why...

Don't shoot no blood, okay,
sweetheart?

You got it.

Of course,
Reiss isn't man enough

to actually admit this to you.

Which is why you are now
seeing this broadcast.

People of the USA, friends,

I am Octavio de la Paz
of Gran Colombia,

loyal warrior
to Gustavo Barros.

And this is your lying,
stealing, cheating president.

♪♪

Octavio:Are you ready to face
the charges against you?

I have nothing
to say to you.

No?

Nothing to the people
that you have betrayed?

You are a liar.

Now, now...

My God, they're putting
POTUS on trial.

On what charges?

Doesn't matter.

This is all about
how he reacts.

Confess.

What?
Are you kidding?

Everything Gustavo said
was invented

to -- to discredit me
in front of American people.
Peña.

-Hey, hey, hey!
-No, no, no, no!

Confess,
or this one pays the price.

Don't even think of it,
sir.

I swore an allegiance
to my country and my president

that I'm prepared to die
for either one.

Confess.

Confess.

There's nothing

Tell your people
what you did.

How you stole from them.
How you poisoned them.

Kara:
What does Gustavo want with you?

He already has
everything he needs

to cripple this country
right there at SouthComm.

Sasha: We were attacked at
Mayport, and we fought back.

They bogged us down
at the Tropic of Cancer,

and we took Cuba.

He knows
we're not gonna give up.

He wants to break us.

He wants to
take down our hero.

And the country
doesn't recover.

Once they confirm it's you

Octavio will deliver POTUS to
one of our helos on the roof.

And the rest
of the hostages?

Released as soon as
you step foot on that ship.

in the right direction
