[dramatic orchestral music]

- Commander Lowe's in
the building today.

He has the review with
the Joint Chiefs and men.

- Right.
- I was wondering if,

if you're still not
going to help him.

- It's not that I'm not
going to help him, Andy,

I can't help him, it's an
operational military matter.

- The high profile
nature of these events

means that we have
unanimously decided

that we have no option

but to order your immediate
discharge from the Navy.

[dramatic orchestral music]

[walkie talkie
voices chattering]

- Right, into the
lion's den, boys.

[dramatic orchestral music]

[drill buzzing]

[dramatic orchestral music]

[loudly rumbling]

- Where the hell's the backup?

We're in the White House
for Christ's sakes.

How can they be taking
out so many of our guys?

- Take it easy Al, they
must have had inside help.

[dramatic techno

[dramatic techno music]

- This is Jessica Cole
and you're watching

Channel 9 Action News.

The White House
has confirmed today

that Commander Christopher Lowe
will be in attendance there

for the outcome of the inquiry

into the St Patrick's Day siege,

where the president's daughter,

Alice Reynolds,
was held captive.

Also, earlier this morning,

a commuter metro train derailed

between Rockville and Twinbrook
stations in Washington DC.

In other news, Vice
President Gavin Lawson is

to give his long-awaited speech

on immigration
today in Congress.

[door softly creaking]
[keys clinking]

- Chris?

Baby?

[soft music]

Have you not listened
to any of my messages?

[softly beeps]

- [Sarah's Voice]
Hello Commander,

my name is Sarah
Mereck, I'm the PA

to the Director of the NSA.

I've been asked to liaise with
you for your planned visit

to the White House.
- Oh my God.

- [Sarah's Voice] Please attend

in your full dress
uniform and upon arrival,

you will need to deposit your
firearm at the gatehouse.

If you wish to have
any clearance for
any authorized guests

or have any further questions,
please call me at 555-1120.

Thank you and have
a nice day, sir.

[chat bubble whooshes]

[soft music]

[phone vibrating]

[shoes softly clattering]
[phone vibrating]

[ominous music]

[car alarm softly ringing]

- Mr. President--
- Yeah?

- We have a situation, you
have to come with us right now,

we have to get you
to the bunker, sir.

[dramatic orchestral music]

Affirmative.

As we speak the First
Lady is being escorted

to the bunker right
here in the White House.

- What about Gavin?

- The Vice President
is secure at the bunker

at the Observatory Circle, sir.

[dramatic orchestral music]

[softly beeps]

[dramatic orchestral music]

[softly buzzing]

[dramatic orchestral music]
[shoes clattering]

[muffled gun firing]
[grunting]

[muffled gun firing]

[dramatic orchestral music]

- That's it, thank
you, everybody,

go remind yourself what
fresh air smells like,

I will be in my office.

Andy, will you please take
us down to COT Comm 4.

- We're at COT
Comm 4, COT Comm 4.

- Thank you, Mr. President.

[softly chattering]

- Let's see if we can get things

back on schedule,
Mr. Vice President.

- Alright, what's up next?

- I postponed your
meeting with the

Minority Leader of the House,

which means that we can get you

to Congress just a
few minutes late.

I have your personally
written speech right here.

- I am a hell of a
writer, let's go.

[softly chattering]

Any news on Bob Carson?

- A coroner's report
is preliminary,

but it looks like an open
and shut case of suicide.

- I just can't believe it.

I figured he was too
ambitious to kill himself.

Thought he still had far
too many people in life

to walk over before
checking out.

- Forensics all tied him with
shooting himself in the head.

Just can't believe
he shot his wife too.

Times of death indicate
that he shot her

just a few hours before
turning the gun on himself.

- Well you know what they say,

guns don't kill
people, psychopaths do.

We can chock up another
one for the NRA.

[dramatic orchestral music]

The Reynolds
Administration is committed

to making meaningful and lasting
reform to immigration law.

It would be foolish
for us as a nation

to continue to pretend
that there aren't millions

of undocumented immigrants
in the United States,

there are, they're here.

And we need to provide those
people with a legal way

to earn citizenship, as long
as they pass national security

and criminal checks and
learn to speak English.

It's not only the humane
and moral thing to do,

but it makes economic sense.
[applause]

These people should be paying
income taxes, like you and I.

[applause]
[soft orchestral music]

Now the flip side
is that we're going

to need to invest much more

to further strengthen our
border protection agencies

and assure our
national security.

[applause]
[soft orchestral music]

[softly rumbling]
And President Reynolds

is unshakable in his belief
that his administration

must establish
stability and security,

both at home and internationally
if The United States

is going to continue--
- No, no, don't.

- To deal with the
ever-increasing
threat of terrorism.

- We have a situation,
Mr. Vice President,

we need to leave immediately,
this is not a drill.

- Okay, just, just
let me finish--

- No, sir, we need
to leave, sir.

- Let me finish.

[soft orchestral music]
[people softly chattering]

Which is why we will continue

to work closely with our allies

to combat terror
both domestically
and internationally.

[softly rumbling]

We will invest in new
ways to secure our borders

against those who
seek to harm us

and disrupt our way of life.

[ominous music]

[loudly rumbles]

And we will continue
to pursue those

who have committed harmful acts

against us, The United States.
[softly screams]

[applause]
[ominous music]

God bless you all,
and God bless America.

[applause]
[ominous music]

Now what the hell is going on?

- I have no information
at this time.

- The situation's
not yet clear, sir.

Please, just come with
us, you know the routine.

- Let's go.

[dramatic orchestral music]
[sirens howling]

No, we're on our way now.

Yes, you have--
- There's no answer

at the office, sir,
the Eisenhower must
still be evacuated.

- Okay, come on guys, at
least give me a clue here.

- Mr. Vice President,
there's been an explosion

at the White House.

- An explosion?
- Yes, sir.

- Oh my God, the President's
alright isn't he?

- I don't have that
information, sir.

- The First Lady?
- I don't know, sir.

- Are we going to
Observatory Circle?

- No, sir, headed for Andrews.

The helicopter is going
to take you to Camp David

and all your team
is already there.

- What about my family?

- Could we go any
faster, please?

- They'll be driven to
meet you there, sir.

- Alright, let's get
the television on.

- Eyewitnesses report
hearing distant gun fire

and unidentified people
fleeing the building

just before the east
wing roof was torn off

by a violent explosion.

This is footage we have received

captured by tourists
on their cellphone.

The safety of the president
is as yet unknown.

Prior to this, the Eisenhower
Executive Office Building

was evacuated due to a fire.

It is unclear yet whether
these two events are connected.

[dramatic orchestral music]

- Well done. [softly whispers]

- Sir,

you need to see this.

[dramatic orchestral music]

- My, my.

[ominous music]

[grunting and clattering]

[loudly grunts]
[loudly thuds]

[grunting]

[dramatic orchestral music]

Temper, temper, Christopher.

[loudly breathing]

- Whitmore, you hear me?

It's all, I'm on there
on CCTV, there I am.

Oh, is this live?

[static softly hissing]

- I think machine records
all the video feeds

and I bet we could make
a little video of that.

- Yes, we can.

- Well, let's make a
little QuickTime movie

and email it to every
news channel in the
country, shall we?

Is everything else set?

- All set, sir.

- I do hope you're not gonna
be problem, Christopher.

[keyboard softly beeping]

Let's see how CNN
like this then.

- [Pilot] This is Marine
One coming for landing

at Camp David with the Vice
President Lawson on board.

Orders are for
him to be escorted

to the bunker immediately, over.

- Copy that.

Vice President is on site.

- Are Rita and Alice here?

- Alice is, Mr. Vice President

and the First Lady's
current unaccounted for.

- And my family?

- They're on route, they'll
be here within the hour.

- [Assistant] There's no
need for orientation, sir.

This bunker is identical to
that of Observatory Circle.

- Well, deja vu, looks like it's

for real this time, everybody.

Can we reach the White House
Situation Room, please?

- I'll try, sir.

[intense orchestral music]

I'm sorry sir, the White
House network is down.

- Okay, try the Pentagon.

[intense music]

- Hello, Mr. Vice President.

- Hi, sorry to be
abrupt, but who are you?

- I'm Hershal King, sir,
I'm the Assistant Secretary

of Defense for Public Affairs.

- The assistant,
where are your bosses?

- We're not sure
at this time, sir.

The Secretary of Defense and
the Joint Chiefs of Staff were

at the White House
for a meeting.

They're currently
unaccounted for, sir.

- Alright, what about
the Deputy Secretary?

- Deputy Secretary's here
in the Pentagon, sir.

General McCannon and the NSA
Advisor left before the attack

and are in transit to
join you at Camp David.

Sir, has a meeting of the
National Security Council

been convened since
you were sworn in?

- No, not yet.

- Well, sir, I don't
know if this will help

but you might wanna
dial in one in command,

Special Operations Command,

the Office of Director
of National Intelligence,

as well as the Director
of the Secret Service,

the FBI, and the CIA.

- Right, thank you, Mr. King.

Very helpful information indeed.

Anybody get all that?
- Yes, sir.

- Alright, well
you heard the man.

[intense music]

- I have the State
and Homeland Security,

FBI, and the CIA online, sir.
- Thank you.

- We have north
comm and south comm.

ODNI is online, sir.

- Okay, guys, just
hold the line,

we're just dialing
everyone in, alright?

- We now have the Director
of the Secret Service online,

sir, that's everyone.

- Okay, thank you, let's
start with the Secret Service.

Mr. Director, do
you know exactly

what's happening in the
White House right now?

- Not exactly, sir, they
cut out communication lines

very quickly, so it's
all very sketchy.

The President, however,
is in the Oval Office

with 13 of my agents
surrounding him.

- Okay and what about the rest

of the agents in
the White House?

- Without comms, I can't be
certain, Mr. Vice President.

But between the explosion
and the gunfire,

it is possible they are
the last men standing.

- Are you saying
they're all gone?

- It's possible, sir.

- Dear God.

- Sir, we have a news
bulletin from Channel 9.

They're claiming they know
who's behind the attacks.

- On screen, please.

- We can confirm that Commander
Christopher Lowe looks

to be the man
responsible for today's

shocking White House attack.

Evan Clarke with
more information.

- The events unfolding
at the White House

are nothing short
of unbelievable.

We received this
surveillance footage

just moments ago of
Commander Lowe attacking

and killing one
of the President's
Secret Service agents.

Lowe was suspended today
following his actions

during the Saint
Patrick's Day siege,

for which, according
to our sources,

he was court-martialed and
discharged from the military,

on charges of reckless
behavior and disobeying orders.

There are no
indications of his aims

and motives at this
point, but it is clear

that the White House is
now in full lock down mode.

[loudly grunts]
[loudly cracks]

[dramatic orchestral music]

- This way.

[dramatic orchestral music]

[door clattering]

[dramatic orchestral music]

[shoes clattering]

[dramatic orchestral music]

[door clattering]

[dramatic orchestral music]

Let's go.

[dramatic orchestral music]

How the hell do get an
outside line in here?

- Give it to me, who
do you wanna call?

- Pentagon, I guess.

National Military Command
Center's there, so.

- He's all over the
TV shooting my agents.

- We don't know if
that footage is real.

Do you know who that agent is?

- Not personally, sir.

- Can you be certain
that that footage came

from with inside
the White House?

- Not without
analyzing it, no, sir.

- Then surely, the first step
would be to do the analysis

and to make that identification.

I'm not gonna make any
assumptions or take any action

that could jeopardize
the President's life

based on footage that
could have been cooked up

by a teenager with an iPad!

You know, guys,
I'm hearing a lot

of assumption and
guesswork here.

Don't we owe it to the President
to not just burst in there

based on gut feelings?

[dramatic orchestral music]

[guns loudly firing]

- Mr. President, this
is getting closer.

- My God, it sounds like
they're just outside the door.

- This is ridiculous.
[guns firing]

[guns loudly firing]
- Secure the level,

don't take any prisoners,
go, go, go, go, go, go, go!

Move, move, go, go, go!

- Where the hell is the backup?

We're in the White House
for Christ's sakes,

how can they be taking
out so many of our guys?

- Take it easy, Al, they
must have had inside help.

[dramatic orchestral music]
[guns loudly firing]

- Let's go, guys.
- Move, move, go, go!

[dramatic orchestral music]
[guns loudly firing]

- They're right
outside the door.

[dramatic orchestral music]
[muffled guns firing]

- Yes, we're in the boiler
room of the White House.

Can I speak to whoever's
in charge there, please?

- This is Edward
Manser, who's that?

- I'm a civilian, we're
in the boiler room

of the White House, I
have the NSA's PA with me,

Sarah Mereck.

Now, it's not too good here,

sir, there are a
lot of fatalities.

Dead Secret Service
agents everywhere

and since the explosion on the
other side of the building,

there's been a lot of gunfire

and I would highly suggest
getting Special Forces

down here right away.

- Who exactly is this?

Are you Secret Service,
Forces, police, what?

- I'm a civilian, I was here

when everything
started going down.

- Hold the line.

Phone through to Camp David.

[dramatic orchestral music]

[guns loudly firing]

- What's the holdup?

- Secret Service.

[guns loudly firing]
[grunting]

- So use the stun grenade.
- It's hardly two minutes.

- Two minutes, we
don't have two minutes.

[guns loudly firing]

[loudly rumbles]

Go, go!

[dramatic orchestral music]

[guns loudly firing]

[dramatic orchestral music]

- [Agent] Mr.
President, get down!

[guns loudly firing]

[loudly explodes]
[loudly grunting]

Mr. President, get
back, get down!

[ominous music]
[muffled guns firing]

[ominous music]

- Oval Office is secure.

[dramatic orchestral music]

- Hi, Paul.

[gun loudly fires]

How is Alice?

- If you think you're
gonna get away with this,

you're out of your mind.

This isn't a parking lot,
Holt, is the White House.

- Yes, it is, and
it's now in very,

very unsafe hands.

- Mr. Vice President?

- Yeah, what is it?

- We have a caller who
says he's in the west wing.

He says that he's a civilian,

but he sounds like
Forces or something.

He says the intruders
have killed a lot

of people in the west wing.

- Okay, can you put him through?

Hello, this is Vice
President Gavin Lawson.

- Mr. Vice President.

- [Gavin] Who are you
and where are you?

- I'm in the boiler
room at the White House,

I'm here with Sarah
Mereck, a PA to the NSA.

Now, I just got a guy
out of the NSA's office.

Everyone else we've come
across is already dead, sir.

- [Gavin] You didn't answer my
first question, who are you?

- A civilian, sir.

- You know what?

I don't have time for this crap.

If you were a civilian,
you wouldn't have

just called yourself a civilian.

- I'm Christopher Lowe, sir.

[dramatic orchestral music]

- [Gavin] Lowe, the CO from
the Alice Reynolds kidnapping?

- That's correct, sir.

- [Gavin] Okay,
hold the line, Lowe.

Unit?
- He can't be trusted.

He's the bastard in that
endless loop on television

showing him murdering
a White House agent.

- Dammit.

This is gonna keep Congress
in hearings all year.

[agents softly chattering]

Okay, unmute it.

Lowe?
- Yes, sir?

- If you and Miss Mereck can
get over to the NSA Office,

go ahead and leave the building.

Otherwise, stay put, do not
engage with these people,

do not go hunting them down.

We need a clear path
to the President

without having to worry
about what you're up to.

- [Christopher] So
you do have a plan

to extract the President, sir?

- [Gavin] It doesn't concern
you what our plan is, Lowe.

You are to stand
down, is that clear?

- [Christopher] You
cannot be serious.

You're gonna do this again?

[intense music
drowns out speaker]

You guys have intel--
- Hey,

see this guy?

He's beginning to
become a nuance.

Deal with him.
- Lowe, stand down.

Can you still hear me?

Get yourself out
of the White House.

It was the intel together,
and that's final.

- [Agent] And be
careful, this guy's good!

- And Lowe, because of the
President's incapacitation,

you just received a direct order

from the Acting
Commander and Chief,

do you understand that?

- Yes, I understand.

But I cease to be a member
of the Navy an hour ago

after your boss and
his buddy decided

to throw me to the lions.

So I don't have to take orders

from Pentagon paper shufflers.

- Look, Lowe, we've
all seen the footage

of you executing the
Secret Service officer.

Don't make this any worse.

Just get out of
the building now.

- For God's sakes, yes, I
executed a Secret Serv--

[grunting]
[dramatic orchestral music]

[dial tone hums]
- Lowe?

- He's gone, sir.

- He hung up, he admitted
to murder and hung up.

- That confession is on tape.

[loudly grunting]
[dramatic orchestral music]

[loudly clatters]

- Paul, Paul, Paul,
I have so much time

to think about this meeting
and to be able to do it here

is just, oh, bucket list.

Oh, come on, Paul,
give me something.

Converse me a little,
or do you think

someone like you
isn't good enough

to converse with
someone like me?

You know, I had a couple of
jumping off points for you.

For starters, economics,
you know, the healthcare,

your foreign policies, the
Middle East policy, oil,

so many things to
get started with.

I was just building from
the clash of the minds,

do you know what I mean, Paul?

I was so excited but,

I'm here, I see
you face to face,

and you're much less
impressive than you are on TV

and you are bloody awful on TV.

I'm sure people
have told you that.

Today is another
crazy example of

what's wrong with this country.

I just waltzed into
the White House.

That's mad.

Paul, you have to do
something about it.

These Secret Service
guys, I'm sorry to say it,

they are below par.

These are the people
that protect your family.

- I think the US Armed Forces
have 2.3 million people.

The FBI has 40,000, the
Secret Service, 7000,

and the Washington PD, 4000.

Do you think they're
just out there

scratching their butts, sir?

- Oh, he's good, isn't he?

I'd want someone like him
at my right-hand side.

Great, Andy, great response.

Let's look into
the detail though.

The Secret Service
headcount, firstly,

has probably taken a
bit of a hit today.

The police and the
Secret Service together,

I think I've demonstrated,
not just once,

but twice, are ridiculous inept

at protecting your President.

And thirdly, don't try
to baffle me with figures

'cause you actually only have
1.3 in your active military

and that doesn't matter
because of them are abroad.

And even if you
did have a massive,

huge army, does it matter?

No, because they are not here!

But we are.

- I believe the point that
Mr. Whitmore is trying to make

is that whatever
it is you're after,

you're not going to
get away with it.

- Stop telling me that I won't
get whatever it is I want.

What if I already have it?

[softly beeps]

[ominous music]

What?

[ominous music]

Oh, my. [chuckles]

There's your bad guy, Mr.
President, Christopher Lowe.

Look what you did to him
when you hung him out to dry.

You pissed him off,
he's gone AWOL.

You must feel like
such a jackass.

- Paul!

- Rita,

do join us.

My, my,

she is a looker, Paul.

I can see where
Alice gets it from.

I do hope Alice is nearby.

- [Agent] Looks like
she's still in Camp David.

We couldn't find her anywhere.

- Really, Rita,
after what happened?

- Don't you talk about her.

You don't even get to say
her name, you scumbag.

- Rita, that's just mean.

You know we had
some time together

so we got really close.

We actually really hit it off.

I'm just kinda hoping
it might be a um,

mother-daughter thing?

[loudly smacks]

Rita, that was rude.

And whilst I can't tell
you to respect your elders

'cause you're like,
what, 120 years old?

I can tell you to respect
the guy with the gun.

[loudly thuds]
[grunts]

[softly coughing]

I do hope you guys will start
to take this seriously now.

Just breathe.

[ominous music]

- The reassuring thing,
Mr. Vice President,

is that there's no
overseas activity

to indicate that this is
part of a foreign plot.

- Well, that will
be very comforting

to everyone in the White House.

- There is a foreign
element, sir.

I have been looking
at the CCTV pictures

from before the link to
the White House was cut,

I'm afraid that the
leader of our group

is our favorite
Brit, Alexandra Holt.

- Oh.

- [Edward] We're
contacting MI5 as we speak.

He's being just as
brazen as before,

no attempt to disguise
himself at all.

- Sir, we all saw what
happened last time,

we cannot wait around while
this guy does his worst.

Let's get Delta
on site right now

and rescue the President
while we have a chance.

- And how are Delta
Force gonna achieve that?

- Well, that will be
an operational call

to be made by the commander
on the ground, sir.

- You know, the last time
our Special Forces went up

against Holt we lost 80% of them

and now he might even have
Christopher Lowe on his side.

So tell me, how is this
time gonna be any different?

- Couldn't really
go much worse, sir.

- Really?

This time, it's the President!

- Which is precisely why we
have to do something, sir.

If only to prove that we're not
gonna bow down to terrorists

and will not negotiate
with these people.

[ominous music]

- [Simon] This is Barrett.

- Simon, it's Edward Manser.

- [Simon] Good to hear from you.

Well, this is an
unexpected pleasure,

seeing you have your
house full right now

judging by what I'm
watching on Channel 9.

- Well, that's just it.

There is something you
can help me with here.

The group that's
taken the building,

is led by Alexander Holt.

- Oh, who wants to guess

what my favorite
ever film scene is?

Clue, bearing in
mind where we are.

Superman II, you'll get
there in a minute now.

Zod, Luthor, and Non, they
crash through the skyline

and the Army are waiting for
them, this is in the west wing

and they're firing
rockets at them,

they're literally
invading the White House.

And they waltz into
the Oval Office,

looking for the President.

Now, they don't know
who the President is

'cause they've been
in the Phantom Zone,

so they're not up
with current affairs.

So a fake President
comes out, he kneels,

and they realize,
they're like no,

you're not the real Pres...

Actually, this is
important, Paul,

are you the President
at the moment?

Or have you done that
gutless thing that,

that Presidents do at the
first sign of trouble,

which is hand over your powers

to some random guy
who nobody voted for?

- I'm the President.

- Is he, Andy?

- I'm the President.

- You should, just in
general in the White House,

have a copy of Superman II.

Does anybody have a
copy of Superman II?

We don't have to watch it.

We can play this out.

This is a bit of a
bucket list thing for me.

Paul,

come on, you know
what scene I'm doing.

You actually know, don't you?

Come on.

Sorry, you're right,
let me give you the,

let me give you the
cue, [clears throat]

"Kneel before Zod."

- I'm not getting on my knees.

- But it will save many lives,

starting with your own.

- I am not getting on my knees

to fulfill some childish
fantasy of yours.

- You're right, you're right.

I need to make this
real for you, don't I?

[ominous music]

[softly shrieks]
- Leave her alone!

[loudly grunting]

- How 'bout this?
- Holt--

- Sit down!

[ominous music]

Let me put it to
you a different way.

Kneel, otherwise I'm
gonna put a bullet

in your wife's face.
- Stop it!

- I am actively
trying to stop it.

I'm trying to get
along with you.

I'm involving you in the
decision-making process.

Isn't that what presidents do?

They decide things.

They decide who
lives and who dies.

Andy brings you a piece
of paper that says,

should we kill 1000
of these people

or 1000 of those people?

And you go, I don't
know, these people.

And you pick one, randomly!

So now you're gonna pick here.

This is ridiculous, this is
an easy decision for you.

There's no collateral
damage here

unless you want there
to be collateral damage.

What do you want, Rita, huh?

This is an easy decision, right?

It would infuriate
me if I was you,

the mother of his child,
his wife, his lover.

The woman who was kept him
in Office all this time.

The woman that
helped him get here.

- Holt!

Holt.

Are you happy now?

- I'm elated, Paul.

Because you just taught
me that you love her.

And that's gonna be
very, very useful.

Take a pew, Paul.

[softly exhales]

- Do we know what this
guy wants this time?

- We haven't yet received any
demands from the White House.

- What do we know about
this Holt guy anyway?

- He's British, ex-military,
ex-intelligence service.

MI5 briefed us on him
after Saint Patrick's Day

in order to disavow him
of any connection to them.

- Well, how did they get
away with redacting it?

- They cited National
Security as the reason.

- Well, that sounds
like a pile of bull.

- Well, to be fair
Mr. Vice President,

that's the same reason we
give when we redact our files.

- Yeah, but they're our ally.

Alright, well, what
did they tell us?

- Born into a military family,

did four years in
the British Army,

but they don't specify what.

He then went on to work for MI5

for an unspecified role
for another three years,

so his role in the army
probably involved intel.

- No wonder he's been able
to dance around our defenses.

- Even the best-trained
operatives in the world

couldn't breach the White House

as easily as he
did without help.

Mr. Vice President,
I do strongly suspect

that he had help from
someone on the inside.

Be it through an alliance
or through coercion.

[softly chattering]
[intense music]

Sir, one of my agents got
a lead in London from MI5,

they've been very
keen to cooperate.

- Well, how delightful, remind
me to send them flowers.

Please, give me something.

- Sir, we have found
what we believe

to be Holt's only surviving
relative, his mother.

- You found his mother.

- This could be the
ace up our sleeve.

This will give us a personal
angle to work on Holt,

the same kind of
personal angle he had

when he took Alice Reynolds.

- I hear what you're saying.

[intense music]

[gun loudly fires]
[softly grunts]

[dramatic orchestral music]
[grunting]

[intense music]

- Hm, typical.

Come on.

[phone ringing]

- Is anyone expecting
a call in the bathroom?

- Obviously, they wanna talk.

- Yes, obviously, Paul.
[phone ringing]

[softly beeps]

You're through to
the Oval Office,

how may I direct your call?

- Hello Alex, this
is Gavin Lawson.

- Gavin?

Mr. VP, the gang's all here!

How the devil are you?

Don't ever call me Alex by
the way, we're not friends.

You can call me Holt.

- [Gavin] Fine, Holt it is.

- Hey Gavin, what's it like
in the hot seat, right?

For which you are very
welcome, by the way.

- [Gavin] I've had
better days, Holt.

I'd very much like to
speak to the President,

is that possible?

- Paul, say hello.

- It's me Gavin.

- How are you, Paul?

- I'm unharmed, listen, Rita
and Andy are here with me.

They've got us surrounded.

- Enough chitter
chatter, come on.

When I wanted you
to talk earlier,

you wouldn't say anything.

Gavin knows everything
he needs to know,

that you're alive and I'm
serious, don't you, Gavin?

- [Gavin] Holt, I'd like
to bring this situation

to a peaceful conclusion
as quickly as possible.

- Gavin, that is
so noble of you.

I'm gonna help you
get to that goal.

So, here's what we need
to do, we need to hang up.

But in the meantime, and
as an act of good faith,

I'd really like to see no
helicopters, no planes, no jets,

no tanks, no SWAT cars, no
SWAT vans, no police cars

or marines or Navy
SEALs or Delta Force,

or any of these other
people down to Boy Scout,

within a 10-mile radius
of the Oval Office.

- I understand, we
already have a no-fly zone

in effect around the Capitol.

But before things progress,

I would like to
offer you something.

- What?

No, no, no, no, no, no.

Gavin, Gavin, Gavin, no, no,

you have to wait for
the first demand.

Like his first day.

- I suppose that would be
the normal course of action.

But I've got something
I really think

you're gonna wanna take
and time is a factor here.

- I, wow, this
negotiation tactic,

[chuckles] I've never
heard of it before.

Okay, what is it, Gavin,
that you can give me

that I don't already have?

Bearing in mind that I have
everything I want in this room.

- Put her through.
- Yes, sir.

- [Mrs. Holt] Alex?

Alex?

What is going on?

- Mother?

- [Mrs. Holt] They told
me what's happening, love,

but I need to hear from you.

- Where are you? [clears throat]

Are they, are they
holding you somewhere?

- [Mrs. Holt] They're not
holding me anywhere, Alex.

Don't be ridiculous,
I'm back home in London.

- Is this it, Gavin?

This is the big plan?

You put my mother
through on the phone

to talk me off the
ledge, is that?

Do you not think I'm
resolved to this, Gavin?

- That's when you thought
you'd still have time

to see her after all this,

whether you escaped
or you were captured,

that she could
visit you in prison.

- What does that mean, huh?

What, you're gonna kill my mom?

That doesn't sound very
free world of you, Gavin.

I'm sorry, I don't buy it.

- [Gavin] I wouldn't
have to do that.

- What the hell does that mean?

- [Mrs. Holt] Alex, calm
down and listen to me.

I'm stage four
cancer, I'm dying.

- No.

- [Mrs. Holt] They are
telling you the truth.

- No, no, no, I--
- I should have told you

when I last saw you.
- No, you're fine.

I don't, Mom, I saw you a couple

of weeks ago, you were fine.

- [Mrs. Holt] I'm not
fine, and I wasn't fine.

I'm very ill.

- [Alexander] Just stop
it, mum, you're lying!

They are making you say
this and you're lying!

[muffled gun firing]

[gun loudly firing]

- [Gavin] Mr. President,
First Lady Reynolds,

are you still there?
- We're fine,

we're fine, Gavin.
- Shut up!

Shut up.

Gavin, this is,

this is a sneaky, low trick,
even for a politician.

Mother, I don't know
what they're doing to you

to make you say this but
you need to stop, okay?

Just ignore them.

- [Mrs. Holt]
They're not making me

say anything, Alex,
will you stop shouting?

I'm in hospital.

I'm sorry, I should
have told you.

- Okay, alright, [clears throat]

okay, who is this that's
there, somebody there with you?

Who is it?
- This is Simon Barrett.

- Agent Barrett, Agent Barrett.

You put the phone next
to a hear monitor.

If she's in a hospital,
she'll have a heart monitor.

You put the phone next
to it so we can all here.

Do it!

[heart monitor softly beeping]

- I'm sorry.

- Why didn't you
tell, shoulda told me.

- Cut the line.

- Lawson, you put her back on!

- No, Holt, you don't
call the shots here.

You're gonna calmly
take a few minutes

and consider my offer.

[ominous music]

Mrs. Holt, I understand
how difficult

this must be for you right now,

and I want to thank you for
your continued cooperation.

I really think we're getting
through to your son here.

I just need him to
take a few minutes

to consider my offer.

[softly coughing]

- [Mrs. Holt] I
understand, Mr. Lawson.

I'll do everything I can.

- We'll put you on hold
for a few more minutes

and I'm gonna leave you
in the very capable hands

of Agent Barrett.
[softly coughing]

- [Mrs. Holt] Thank
you, Mr. Lawson.

- Okay, okay, okay.

[ominous music]

Andrew Whitmore.

You're a trouble shooter.

Aren't you Andy?

You solve problems all day long

for the President,
that's what you do.

- I do my best.

- You are the best.

You're the Chief of Staff

to the President of
the United States,

and I have a big problem.

Gavin Lawson is
jerking me around.

I don't think he's
taking me seriously.

Now, to demonstrate
my resolve normally,

I would shoot someone in
the face, just like that,

but I can't shoot him, right?

'Cause he's the prize
and I can't shoot her,

I hollow in her allure.

And so, what I need is like
a third expendable option.

What do you think, Andy, hm?

- I don't think the Vice
President is jerking around,

I think he takes you very--
- Really?

And what the hell
would you know?

- You are about to make a
serious misstep here, Holt.

Listen to me, listen to me,

Gavin Lawson and I barely
see eye-to-eye on a good day.

Andrew Whitmore is the
godfather of his children,

they've known each
other for years.

You shoot him, the
negotiations are over.

So if you want to shoot
somebody, just shoot me.

- No, Mr. President, no.
- Holt,

I'm serious, I am serious.

I guarantee you the
negotiations will be finished,

I good and goddamn guarantee it.

If you shoot him,
Lawson storms this room

as soon as the reinforcements
arrive and he kills everyone.

So if you shoot him, you
might as well shoot all of us

and get it over with.

- You want me to shoot ya?

- No, Mr. President.
- You want me to shoot

the President?
- No, sir, shoot me.

- You want me to
shoot the First Lady?

- No.
- Then open up.

- Get the gun off him, I
am not joking around here.

Whatever it is you want,
you are not gonna get it

if you pull that trigger.

And you will never ever
talk to your mother again.

- Bold move by Gavin, you
oughta give him credit for that.

Though it backfired
spectacularly.

- You son of a bitch!

- Sir, right now, we have
a tactical advantage.

We know exactly which
room in the White House

they are in, the Oval Office.

That means we know
where to focus a rescue.

If they move from that room,

then we lose the ability
for a precision raid.

- Alright, boys, get
yourselves to the helicopter.

- Sir, Christopher
Lowe's on the line.

- Holt and his
crew left the post.

I think they're preparing to
leave the White House, sir.

- I do want every
marksman in position

and I want every member
of the Armed Forces ready

to enter the White House if the
opportunity presents itself.

And if any of those marksmen
get a clear shot of terrorists,

tell them to take it.

- I will use everything
at my disposal

as President of
The United States

to hunt you down and make
you suffer [mumbling]

- See, Paul?

We're not so
different, you and I.

Now you're qualified to hate me.
