This is Jacob Barnes reporting live for AMT news from the St. Louis White House

where mourners are being allowed in

to pay their respects to the late President.

As we await further details

in the apparent suicide of Jeffrey Michener,

AMT news has confirmed that the American hostages in Asia

have been rescued.

It is unclear whether the President was aware of this good news

at the time of his death.

In the absence of any final note or message,

we can only speculate.

It seems that the pressures of his embattled agenda,

coupled with this network's revelations

of his culpability in the Doak Stadium disaster,

may have proved too much for the President to bear.

Vice President Oliver just transferred to the C-130 in Panama.

He should be on the ground in St. Louis in four and a half hours.

Is Judge Watkins on board?

She's administering the oath of office as we speak.

Good. That's good.

Please gather all of our background and intel

on Peng and our Asian players.

President Oliver's gonna need to get up to speed

before he speaks to the regional leaders.

Yes, ma'am.

I've served under six presidents.

Jeffrey Michener is the only one I ever shook hands with.

The people of new China send our deepest respect and condolences

to our brothers and sisters in America.

It is with great sadness that we have learned of

the death of President Jeffrey Michener.

President Michener was an important ally.

He's still in the mansion.

There's no way we're getting back in there,

if that's what you are thinking.

We're in Tomahawk range.

Tom, we don't even know if he's actually there.

He might have released this video to bait us into attacking him.

Happy to call that bluff.

Okay, you take Peng out,

his number two continues with whatever their agenda is,

and we've just started a hot war without knowing what their plans are,

why those boats are so important to him, what he's smuggling.

She's right. Much as I'd like to take Peng out right now,

we gotta find Wu Ming first, get to the bottom of this.

That son of a bitch has been pummeling us for 10 rounds.

And I'm not much in the mood to wait for his knockout punch.

What about all the innocent people in and around the mansion

when your Tomahawk hits.

We can't just assassinate a foreign leader

without consulting with the commander in chief.

Find me when you get close to Shanzai.

He blames himself.

For what?

Pushing Michener too hard. Before he was ready.

Did he?

Country needed a president.

Maybe we should find a plane. Get Tom to St. Louis.

He could help Oliver get his bearings, give him some credibility.

You saw him. He's not going anywhere

until we finish this.

Obviously, Jeffrey Michener's are big shoes to fill.

But Howard Oliver is beloved here in St. Louis,

where, as mayor, he oversaw

the most effective quarantine in the country,

saving over 100,000 people during the plague.

It wasn't the first time.

He tried to kill himself on the Nathan James.

He slit his wrists.

When Captain Chandler found him, he'd nearly bled to death.

I had no idea.

I was on the ship. I...

They kept it quiet.

Only the senior leadership knew.

Jeffrey told me when he felt that he could finally trust me.

I'm telling you this because you need to stop beating yourself up.

If anything, I'm the one.

I knew he was suffering.

I knew and I left him alone.

Were the two of you...

I'm so sorry, Allison.

This one's a bust, too.

Damn it.

Hey, Doc.

Is this something you need?

That's... That's...

I don't even know what that is. Dr. Scott never let me touch that machine.

But I'm getting warmer?

Yeah, sure.

Hello.

Hey, Doc. Looks like we got a stowaway here, mate.

Okay.

This is very, very good. This is a really good start.

Could you guys start setting this up over here for me?

- You got it. - Thanks.

You wanted to see me?

Kyoko has something to say to you. She asked me to translate.

She says that you saved her life. But more importantly, you saved her son.

That was all Logan and Rios. I didn't really do much.

She says she hasn't prayed since she was a child.

But now she will every day, for the doctors and for you.

No, please. You don't have to get up. It's okay. Ma'am, it's...

She says you are a natural.

President...

Mr. President, please.

Seems like the weather matches our mood.

- Welcome home, Mr. President. - Thank you.

The world's lost a great leader.

But we, in this room, we've lost a colleague and a friend.

You all served him well.

And I look forward to continuing the work you began together

as we navigate our way through this difficult time.

I'll need all of your help getting up to speed.

But first, I'll need to speak to Captain Chandler.

St. Louis connected, sir.

- This is Captain Chandler. - Stand by for the President.

- Captain Chandler. - Mr. President.

I am so very sorry. I know how close you and Jeffrey were.

I hope that over time, I can earn the trust and confidence

that you and he shared.

Yes, sir.

I have a lot to catch you up on.

We're currently approaching the pirate haven of Shanzai

where we intend to find a smuggler who goes by the name of Wu Ming.

We think he might be able to help

fill in the blanks about why our people were taken,

about ships painted with black circles,

and what President Peng is planning in Asia.

Sir, I intend to complete the mission

that was given to me by President Michener,

with your permission.

You have my permission and my gratitude.

Thank you, Mr. President.

We're 27 nautical miles southeast of Shanzai port, sir.

Vulture Team is standing by for Captain Chandler and ready for infil

as soon as Nomad has eyes on target.

All right, listen up, we got a high-value target-capture mission.

After beach entry, we silent-patrol to the target,

penetrate the perimeter defense,

and we capture that son of a bitch Wu Ming.

We'll have an immediate helo exfil.

Last time we were in Shanzai, it got hot, fast.

So watch your six.

Nathan James, this is Nomad,

going feet dry, six klicks from Shanzai.

- Sonar. - Nothing on subsurface.

Radar tracking surface contact bearing 2-5-8 heading 0-1-4 at 18 knots.

AIS classifies it as a shrimp cutter, sir.

We are not taking any chances.

All stations continue to track and monitor that vessel.

CNO on the bridge.

Did you get the go from POTUS?

He understands the importance of what we're doing here,

but has requested proof-of-life videos.

It's a morale boost for back home.

Land team is waiting for you.

Nathan James, this is Nomad. Flag on the play.

Shanzai is a bust.

The place is a fire pit.

The whole town?

Wiped out.

Nothing but ashes.

Nomad returning to ship.

He carpet-bombed everybody to get one guy?

Peng levelled Shanzai.

Charred the place to tie up loose ends.

We assume Wu Ming's dead.

But we still need to figure out how he tracked all those ships.

Especially the ones he wanted you to stay away from.

Any idea if he might have had a backup outside Shanzai?

It's a Chinese proverb.

Wu Ming taught me this when I asked

why he never pirated the ships himself.

It means,

"When children travel far from home mothers never stop worrying."

So he was a mama's boy?

He supported her,

his sister, the grandmother.

And you think he may have stashed intel with them.

That way they could carry on the business.

He could provide for them, even in death.

It's the only good thing I ever heard about him.

Took care of his family.

And where exactly might we find Mama Ming?

Nathan James will loiter over the horizon

while a VBSS team commandeers a vehicle near the Beng Mu Chun inlet

and then heads inland to Chin Ma to find Wu Ming's family.

Just awaiting your approval, sir.

Yes.

Commander Green.

How are we doing on those proof-of-life videos

from the rescued hostages?

The Nathan James crew is working on them, sir.

But we are having some difficulty with the visual signal on our end.

I can get the audio recordings for you right away.

Audio isn't good enough. We need to see faces.

The American people need to see that we had a win.

Sort out that technical glitch ASAP.

Yes, sir.

Okay, Miller. This is for everybody back home

so they know you're still taking up space.

All right, go ahead, start talking.

Hey, Ma. Now, don't be scared. I know my face is a little messed up,

but the doc promised that I'll go back to being

just as pretty as I was before.

So, Freak from Spider-Man, basically.

Okay, man. A little respect. This is for my mother.

Hey, Ma. Now, don't be scared. I know my face is a little messed up,

- but the doc promised... - Can you see anything at all?

...just as pretty as I was before.

- Still nothing. - So, Freak from Spider-Man, basically.

- Okay, man. A little respect. - There it is again.

I miss you, Mom. I love you.

Isn't this the same problem you were working on with Val?

Yes. But there's hundreds of hours of data to analyze.

So we haven't been able to figure out what's causing it.

With her gone...

Damn. System just crashed.

I need to run downstairs to the communications room.

Hurry, Dennis. We need to fix this. Please.

How are you holding up over there?

Alisha.

I'm the one who found Michener.

Oh, my... Kara.

I'm sorry.

You are over there risking your lives. I'm sitting at a desk.

- I shouldn't... - No.

We need you there. Now more than ever.

Vulture Team has reached Chin Ma.

- ETA to target? - Less than five minutes, sir.

Clear. Go.

That's MSS.

I guess Peng wants to talk to Mama Ming, too.

Well, he's still alive.

All teams, sitrep, over.

- Cooper, set. - Green, set.

Taylor, go for entry.

Burk's got eyes on upper target.

I got the shot on the lower. Burk, go.

Taylor, set.

Primary entry team, set. All teams, on my count.

Three, two, one.

Execute.

How are you feeling, Wu Ming?

Grateful we saved your life?

He says you brought them to his door.

It's you who got everybody in Shanzai killed.

I didn't start this. You and Peng did.

Why was Lau Hu torturing you?

Lottery tickets.

How the hell does lottery even work now? There's barely any currency.

I've seen it in Hong Kong, mate. People put in whatever they have.

A chicken, a bag of rice.

They get a ticket, a number's drawn.

Whoever wins, takes the entire pot.

After the proprietor skims some off the top, of course.

Tell me about black circles on ships.

He's hiding something.

What's so precious about those marked ships?

Why would Peng go to all this trouble?

Why are you still protecting Peng after everything he's done to you?

I know nothing. Nothing. Nothing!

That look like a hull number to you?

Yes, it does.

These digits here, these are coordinates

for the Strait of Malacca, the biggest shipping lane in the region.

It's the intel Wu Ming sells to pirates.

If each one of these lottery tickets represents a ship and its location...

Jackpot.

Sir.

You all right?

I could have done without Rivera's eulogy.

Seems like he's already jockeying for favor.

I noticed that our lone senator was conspicuously absent from the funeral.

I spoke to Beatty. There was an attack on a ration card facility in Bellingham.

He's sitting on a powder keg up there. He couldn't get away.

Maybe.

Or maybe he's sending a signal that he's not in support of our administration.

Well, the Senator wasn't particularly fond

of how the last president used him as a rubber stamp.

- Meaning? - Sir, you've been away.

I don't think you realize what a mess this country is in.

Maybe they don't remember what a mess we had five months ago

before Michener and the James came home with the cure.

No, they remember, sir. And they are grateful for the cure.

But that doesn't give the government a free pass for everything else.

Especially since people think

that most of the decisions that have come out of here

have been disastrous.

Hell, you can't even prove you rescued your own people.

The pirates broadcast their faces from a jungle across the globe

and you can't manage a Skype call from a $3 billion warship?

We're working nonstop on the issue, Mr. President.

I'm confident we'll have it solved shortly.

Let's not lose the forest for the trees.

We're all pleased that the hostages are safe,

and we're sure you'll sort that out.

The more pressing issue is our domestic policy.

I think we can all agree

that Michener jumped too quickly to federalize everything.

If you were to curb some of his measures, I'm sure it will go a long way

to smoothing things over with Senator Beatty

and the American people.

The ration card program has been the chief cause of unrest.

And limits to bank withdrawals.

The people do not want the government

interfering with how they spend their money.

Come on, Alex. It's all of it.

The land claim issues are just as contentious.

What do you all want?

To go back to dog-eat-dog?

That's appealing when you're at the top of the heap.

But there are people out there going hungry

while we are producing more than enough food to feed everyone.

That's why President Michener started those ration cards.

So that all of our citizens can have their fair share

- of what they need to get... - Commander Green.

If we need your advice as it pertains to our military, we'll ask for it.

Sir, I know that you were skittish

about instituting these policies from the beginning.

It doesn't matter what I thought then or if they're unpopular.

Are they working or not?

I think it's fair to say that these policies are doing

more harm than good, sir.

What happened in there?

Everything we worked for, everything President Michener stood for.

We're in a crisis. It's our job to hold the country together.

You sat with the President and wrote those policies.

You didn't fight for them.

If President Michener couldn't make them work,

then Howard Oliver certainly can't.

So you are going to let Oliver capitulate to the regional leaders.

He just gave them authority over local militias

without speaking to Captain Chandler.

Chandler is the acting head of our military,

and he never would have allowed it.

Captain Chandler is 12,000 miles away.

The regional leaders need to be able to call their own shots.

If they can't control their own regions, who will?

They are the ones stoking the unrest. President Michener...

President Michener isn't here!

He took the easy way out.

So if they sit in that office

and they reverse every decision that he made as president,

there's nobody to blame but him.

Sir.

Thank you for coming down.

I've made some progress, sir,

but I still have more questions than answers.

This is an image of our cure from Dr. Scott's notes.

I've isolated the compound in Takehaya and Kyoko's blood.

It's exactly the same as ours.

Structurally uncompromised, as far as I can tell.

This is an image of the red flu from Dr. Scott's files.

And this...

This is the virus in Kyoko's blood.

It's different.

- Bulkier. - Exactly.

That bulkiness is present in Takehaya's virus as well.

The virus in their blood is similar enough to the original

that my preliminary tests identified it.

- But it is somewhat altered. - A mutation.

I can't say for sure. But whatever is causing the bulkiness

is preventing the cure from working.

That means everyone on this ship who has come in contact with Takehaya

- could be infected. - That was my worry, too.

But none of us from the prison camp have any symptoms.

I crossed the virus in Takehaya's blood

with a sample of my own and from several sailors

who had no contact with Takehaya, Kyoko or any of us who were prisoners.

The bulkier virus doesn't make us sick.

Somehow the cure in us defends against it.

If Takehaya and Kyoko both have the same cure,

why is the virus harming them?

I wish I knew, sir. I'll keep digging.

We're at 19.83 North by 112.5 East.

Course 1-0-0, speed 20 knots, sir.

There's a small landmass here,

which should provide cover from hostile radar detection

while giving us a vantage point on the shipping lane indicated on that card.

Helo is standing by to execute flyovers.

We expect many vessels to have AIS switched off on account of pirates.

She's Alpha-Charlie-Foxtrot 7-9-8-3-1-3-9-6.

Any other markings?

Just a couple of dings from a bad parking job.

No black dot.

No dice.

Is it possible the ship already passed this location?

According to Wu Ming's intel, it was last pinged

outside Hainan Harbor yesterday at 2200 hours.

Even a wave-piercing catamaran

couldn't traverse this shipping lane that quickly.

Captain.

Radar's tracking small surface vessel

approaching our contact point on the shipping lane.

Nomad, vessel approaching south at 0-2-5.

Initiate flyover.

Roger that, Nathan James. Making the turn.

I don't know about this one, Captain.

What's wrong with it?

There's nothing wrong with it,

if you are on spring break in Ibiza.

What the hell does that mean?

It's a 120-foot pleasure cruiser. No cargo hold.

Wait a second.

Alpha-Zulu-Bravo-7-9-8-6-3-Lima-3-0-9.

That's it.

And we're staring at a big old dark side of the moon.

Vessel Encore, 0-1-4, 22 knots. This is US Navy warship 1-5-1

requesting to board for inspection

in accordance with the International Law of the Sea.

Vessel Encore, 0-1-4, 22 knots.

I say again.

This is US Navy warship 1-5-1 requesting to board for inspection

in accordance with the International Law of the Sea.

TAO, surface tracks 7-2-8-7-1 increasing speed to 25 knots.

Captain, TAO.

Surface contact maybe trying to make a run for it.

XO, let's stick our nose out, let him know he has company.

OOD, increase speed to 25 knots. Come to 1,000 yards CPA.

TAO, surface tracks 7-2-8-7-1 coming to course 0-4-5,

increasing speed to 35 knots.

They're trying to evade.

Just turn starboard and increase speed, sir.

Starboard ROC, fire MK-38, one salvo warning shots across the bow.

Prepare countermeasures. But do not, under any circumstances,

sink that ship. Not till we know what's aboard.

Aye, Captain.

All stations, stand by to re-engage.

Sir, he's changed course to 2-5-0. He's headed for the Yanshi Atoll.

OOD, all ahead full.

Sir, we can't outrun him. He's traveling at 36 knots.

And we can't go into the atoll, the coral beds are too shallow.

XO, time to close the net.

Nomad, you are go for approach.

All right, boys and girls. Let's drop in for a cocktail.

TAO, surface tracks vessel, 1,000 yards.

Captain, TAO. Surface contact 10 degrees relative.

Okay, don't do it, buddy. Not a good move.

Don't do anything stupid.

- Cut your engine. - Shit, man.

We are US Navy. Lay down your weapon!

We don't want to hurt you, but we will be boarding your vessel.

Nathan James, vessel is surrendering.

Game over, asshole.

Is this even necessary, yo?

Tell us where Peng's cargo is, and we'll stop right now.

Does this even look like a cargo ship to you?

We tossed the whole vessel.

All we found were a couple more M16s

and a case of Cristal.

See? What did I tell you?

If you got nothing to hide, then why run from a US Navy ship?

It's the apocalypse, man.

All kinds of people get into all kinds of boats

saying all kinds of shit.

You could have been pirates, for all I know.

This is my boat. You can't take it from me.

Oh, yeah? You got bills of sales for those weapons?

Well, then you are in violation of International Maritime Law.

The US Navy has the right to place you under arrest

and commandeer this vessel.

Hell, no. This is my baby. You can't do this, yo.

We sure can, yo.

You wanna keep your precious ship, you start talking.

Americans.

So self-righteous.

Move.

Well, that's cocaine, heroin.

- How much more of this have you got? - Five more crates.

Come on, yo. This can't even be illegal anymore.

The people have suffered enough. I'm just meeting needs.

Where'd you pick it up?

An island up at Hainan.

Chinese MSS dudes loaded me up. I don't want to mess with them.

Peng doesn't bother with drugs.

Hey, what are you doing, yo?

You know what my suppliers will do to me if even one of those is missing?

Shut up.

Holy shit!

The missile's clearly been retrofitted since its manufacture.

Has to be a chemical weapon of some kind.

He picked up those crates 100 miles southeast of Hainan.

Paraiso Island.

You sure that trafficker didn't know what was in 'em?

He was perfectly happy being a run-of-the-mill drug runner.

Nearly wet himself when we reeled in this.

Those bomblets were designed in the '60s to carry sarin.

What do you think the range is on that missile?

Depending on the weight of those bomblets,

I guess it could release high enough to blanket a 20-mile radius.

You wanted to see me?

Back in Hong Kong, you mentioned seeing some missiles.

Yellow with red tips.

These are the same ones Peng was moving in Guangzhou.

The day my brother was killed.

Green mist.

Kyoko in her fever, she was murmuring about a green mist that came in the night.

The active ingredient in the green powder is a specially designed lectin.

It's binding to the glycoproteins of the red flu.

That's why the virus looks bulkier. It hasn't mutated.

The lectin can create a coating that shields the virus

from the effects of the antibody that our cure produces.

I couldn't see it because I didn't know what I was looking for.

- But if somebody already has the cure? - Then they're safe.

You'd have to have the lectin in your bloodstream first

to render the cure ineffective.

That's what Peng's hoarding.

He could fire those missiles over uncured populations.

- So when the cure finally does arrive... - It doesn't work.

That boat was headed to Taiwan on a run.

Jesse saw the missiles near Vietnam...

And my wife saw the mist in Japan.

By the time we got to the ports to receive the cure,

it was already too late.

That's right.

I would like to see my wife,

my son.

- Good evening, Mr. President. - Commander Green.

That's correct.

The President would like to keep these briefings

to senior advisors for the time being.

We'll summon you if we need you.

We were welcomed as heroes in Vietnam.

Everyone came out of hiding to get the cure.

If they were exposed to this...

They'd spread out across the country to pass on the contagious cure.

And if they were exposed to the red flu,

spread that instead.

That was 10 days ago.

And we don't know how many of these missiles there are.

So, now we know what Peng's plan is.

It's genocide.
