Citizens, it is with great pride

that I address you today from Los Angeles.

These are trying times, but our hard work is paying off.

In only two weeks since the restructuring of our government,

the Michener shortages in our region are over.

Law and order has been restored.

Riots quelled.

Population centers are experiencing surpluses in food and energy

for the first time in months.

Let's all work together to bring back the strong...

Where are we?

Castillo country. Vegas, baby.

From here it's a five-hour shot to San Diego.

Might take us a little longer, given that we're, you know...

Wanted criminals?

Dodging checkpoints and stealing gas out of abandoned cars?

We're down to our last can.

We can stock up in Vegas. It was a refugee center.

We are all working for the greater good here,

so I urge you, obey our men and women in uniform.

Turn that off. I can't listen to that.

Every roadblock we dodged had military personnel still in uniform.

I don't know why they're going along with this.

Castillo and the rest,

they sold the people a line of crap

that breaking up the country was the only way to save it.

The rank-and-file soldiers and sailors probably don't know the truth,

and they're just doing what they do because they were trained to,

to serve the people.

All the more reason to make it to San Diego.

Meet up with the James. They've got a resistance ready to go.

Assuming they're on schedule.

We haven't had a status update since Dennis skipped town.

He'll be there. Guaranteed.

Message from naval base, San Diego.

"Nathan James, rendezvous with tugs, vicinity of Coronado Bridge.

"Moor portside, pier 3, berth 1..."

"Report to General Bradley with California United Forces,

"and turn over your prisoner Thomas W. Chandler."

Yeah, but a general running a Navy base?

And what does the "California United Forces" even mean?

It means in the last two weeks it took us to cross the Pacific,

they dismantled the entire military.

That doesn't seem possible.

It's actually textbook, Captain.

When you wanna take down a government from the inside,

there's a pretty standard formula.

First, you put the leadership in a position

where they have to make immensely unpopular decisions.

Ration cards, bank closures.

Then you to start a few riots,

force the president to put them down and broadcast the violence.

Finally, you manufacture a crisis.

Like an assassination or a hostage situation.

- Or both. - In the meantime,

you're presenting an alternative leadership through the media.

Regional leaders.

My God.

Six hours to buoy San Diego, sir.

Castillo owns that base. We're gonna be on his radar in under four hours.

In a few minutes, we'll start scanning for microwave emissions along the coast.

Find the biggest one, the most people talking.

10-to-1, that'll be their local center of gravity.

- Sir? - Von Clausewitz.

Center of gravity is a source of strength. Could be comms, transpo, munitions.

We don't just disrupt it, we destroy it.

Make Castillo show his face.

Grab him and use him to smoke out the others.

Sill, we're invading a country with a single ship.

That's never happened in the history of the world, and for good reason.

It's impossible.

Nothing's impossible.

Not if you have the will, the courage and a good plan.

Von Clausewitz?

Thomas W. Chandler.

Bullshit! You expect me to go along with all this?

Randall, hear him out.

Beatty's northwest region has gone ungoverned for nearly a month.

With each passing day, the resources are drying up.

Someone needs to take control.

I have the infrastructure and the access.

Unless you wanna cross the Rocky Mountains and pitch in,

I'm the guy.

So, geography gives you all of Beatty's assets.

And the advantage over the rest of us.

You have any idea what I'm dealing with up there?

You know what happens if I don't clamp down?

Chaos spreads.

You want some? How about you?

How about you?

I'm putting my security people,

boots on the ground in the Pacific northwest,

and I'm not waiting for your damn permission.

Oh, so it's a fait accompli, then?

You know he's already started mining the whole region for resources.

Take it all, Manuel. Go ahead, see how far you get.

When I stop my oil shipments to the west coast,

I hope you like walking everywhere.

- Because I... - Enough!

Here's what's going to happen.

For the benefit of all the partners,

Mr. Castillo will mine the resources out of the northwest.

Ms. Price is going to provide the oil that allows him to do so.

In return, Mr. Castillo will share the spoils evenly among the partners.

Look, you have me here to settle disputes like this.

Objections?

No.

Good.

What's the word from San Diego?

Nathan James has been picked up on radar.

On its way to the naval base as scheduled.

- Good. - Well, that's a relief.

And everything is in order to receive him?

Colonel Witt here has something of a fireworks show in mind.

This is gonna work? You're sure?

It's one of the few things Jeffrey Michener did right.

The centralizing control of the weapons systems.

Such a tiny little thing.

Looks can be deceiving.

Let's hope so.

Underestimating the CNO is what got us in trouble in the first place.

Isn't that right, Ms. Shaw?

Arm it, Colonel.

Just need thumb prints from two of you.

Let me in on this.

I wanna be the one that finally kills that son of a bitch Tom Chandler.

Good.

Done.

In a matter of hours,

the Nathan James will be at the bottom of the ocean.

There she blows.

Sin City.

Why is there no power?

Something's not right.

We'll figure it out.

In the meantime, let's stock up on supplies.

You good?

All right, nobody move!

Take it easy, friend.

No one needs to get hurt.

Oh, that's up to you now, isn't it?

Give me all the food you got.

We're out. That's why we stopped.

- Oh, come on. - Seriously?

You wouldn't be lying to me now, would you?

No, sir.

I say we search them.

I thought I warned you to stay the hell away from here.

Go!

Go!

Much obliged.

You're not from around here.

No, sir.

But you look familiar.

Yeah, I get that a lot.

Sir, we mean you no harm.

Well, come on, then.

Best get off the road.

Thank you.

New shipments of food stopped coming.

Told us they were being redirected.

Few days later, bunch of soldiers showed up

with container trucks, loaded everything up.

And I mean everything.

It's just me now.

What about the city?

There's supposed to be 30,000 people there.

Most all of them followed the food.

You're not a peacekeeper,

you're working 16 hours in some factory or another.

Keeping lights on, water running.

Sixteen hours for a day's rations.

They're creating food shortages.

Then people complained about Michener's ration cards.

How long has it been since you had something to eat, old-timer?

Name's Bob.

Bob.

It's been about three days.

Can't go far on account of this bum leg. Got no vehicle.

Only a matter of time now.

You want a lift?

I've been here all my life.

I already beat the odds 10 times over.

If I'm gonna die, it's gonna be here. This is home.

It's all we got.

I know it doesn't seem like it looking around,

but hope is coming very soon.

So hang in there a little longer, Bob. Okay?

I think I do recognize you.

People on TV saying nasty things about you.

Hope you don't believe everything you hear.

Quiet out there.

Too quiet.

They made it.

Right on time, as usual.

Heading into the mouth of the harbor.

Chandler's got to realize Castillo will arrest him on sight.

Can we signal them?

No.

But he must have a plan.

CIC reports no contacts on surface or sub-surface.

Very well.

Let's bring her in.

Vampire, vampire, vampire! Bearing 1-1-5.

Two missiles incoming!

No!

No! No!

No!

No!

- No! - Oh, my God.

Those missiles came out of nowhere.

They were circling.

Damn things can loiter at high altitude for hours.

James didn't even see them coming.

They should have.

We're all that's left now.

So, what do we do?

I wanna go home, get Frankie and just keep moving.

But first, I wanna kill everyone who's responsible for what just happened.

- Hell yeah. - You want revenge?

- You don't? - You bet I do. Blood for blood.

We do this smart, asymmetrical hits.

Get down.

You see that?

Big eyes mounted on the flatbed.

An observation team.

Probably out here to confirm the sinking of the James.

They're off to report back.

So we follow them.

Let's roll.

Any sign of the Chinese destroyer?

Henan's gone, sir.

- They bought it. - You were right, sir.

They wanted you dead so bad, they tried to kill us all.

As long as we stay more than 40 miles off the coast, we'll stay dead.

In the meantime, Captain Slattery and I'll lead a land-team,

identify Castillo's COG.

- TAO. - Sir?

Show us the results of your microwave scanning.

Yes, sir.

These are the areas with the most activity.

That was not far from the Navy base.

- Could be a command center. - A lot of chatter.

- Any way we can listen in on those comms? - I'm on it, sir.

So, you finally killed the man who couldn't be killed.

I'm not gonna lie, Allison, I was starting to lose faith.

We all were.

Here's to redemption.

St. Louis.

We were prepared to give it to Oliver if he played ball.

- He didn't. - And now you think you've earned it.

Oh, I know I've earned it.

Technically, St. Louis is Wilson's territory.

Take it up with him.

He'll only go for it if you back me up.

- He's afraid of you. - And with good reason.

I delivered kingdoms for you, and I expect more.

Castillo is a snake.

Make sure my shipment arrives from California in good shape.

Then I'll talk to Wilson about St. Louis.

Clear.

What is this place?

Store-owner Bob said they loaded his food into shipping containers.

Maybe that's what it is, a warehouse, a distribution center.

By the looks of all those quote-unquote peacekeepers, I'd say you're right.

Castillo's hoarding his stash

and doling it out to his people as calories for their hard-earned labor.

- Why don't we steal it back? - That would be the plan.

Army, Navy, Marines. There's even some Coast Guard down there.

Versus the four of us.

We're not even the Dirty Half Dozen, but we got heart and we got smarts, okay?

Kara, you and I are gonna scout the place, see what we can find.

And you two, you watch the front.

Shift changes, patrol patterns, anything like that.

Remember what I taught you?

Okay.

Be safe.

It's me.

Hey.

It's me.

Commodore.

I don't mean to be rude, but I thought you were dead.

Tex, why am I not surprised to see you here?

Whenever there's trouble and long odds, my friend.

Hey, where's Frankie?

He's fine. He's with my mom.

Look at you.

So, this Chinese ship, you what? Put it on cruise control?

Something like that, sir.

Master Chief's being modest. This was his plan.

Glad to see you're on our side, Mr. President.

And good to see you're alive.

Hey.

Hey, it's good to see you.

Looks like we all had the same idea.

Yes, ma'am.

So, this is Castillo's center of gravity?

Yep, it's food.

We were hoping to find a resistance force.

You're looking at it.

Well, let's get to work.

Burk, Kara, Tex, I want you to set up perimeter.

Motion sensors, bells on a string, whatever we got.

Green, Master Chief, establish a comms hub up on that rooftop.

Nathan James is in EMCON, but she'll be listening in.

Wolf, find me a nice, empty building we could drop, loudly.

That'll draw the bulk of their forces away when we make our move.

Mike, Sasha, you're on recon. All right, let's move!

Yes, sir.

Just like old times.

We've cracked the military code the California Forces are using.

I need you all to sift through the message logs for any critical intel.

How will I know what's important and what isn't?

You'll know it when you hear it.

Just make sure you get it cleaned up, recorded and printed out.

Yes, ma'am.

Comms hub is up, Captain.

Four star.

General, cargo's intact, ready for transpo.

Thank you, Lieutenant.

- Is there a problem, son? - Sir, some of the men were talking.

They saw the Nathan James blow up. I just...

I can't believe it, sir.

Try not to lose any sleep over it. Tom Chandler was a traitor.

It's a new day, son. Some can make the adjustment, some can't.

Take my advice, make the adjustment.

Yes, sir.

There's a round in the chamber,

so just pull the hammer back and it's ready to fire.

I can tell you've practiced.

You got to keep both arms firm to guard against recoil.

You left town pretty quick.

After the doc, yeah.

Yeah.

I had a feeling you blamed me for Rachel.

I blamed the both of us.

I forgave you.

This, Sasha girl...

She can handle herself?

- With the best of them. - Good.

Hey, I think I found that General Bradley we were supposed to report to.

He's the one we need to lure Castillo out.

Fellas, we might've read this situation wrong.

Food's not being stored, it's being shipped.

I found train tracks running directly into a warehouse,

and they've been used in the last 24 hours.

All right, next time a train loads up here,

we get out in front of it.

Hit them hard in the middle of nowhere

that's not surrounded by a hundred soldiers.

We don't have to destroy the food, we can steal it.

Enough food to feed an army.

And then we steal the army.

Vulture Team, Elvis has arrived.

- I hear you, we are in position. Wolf? - We're on schedule.

Setting charges at the far end of the turn.

They won't even see it coming, sir.

- Overwatch, how's the view? - Best seat in the house.

Fire only in the event that we're fired upon as we approach.

Check that.

Mother, get a bearing on my transmission.

We may need medevac for casualties once we take out the train.

Vulture, out.

- I hate that silence. - James will be there if we need her.

- Are we ready to go? - Loading is underway. Call for you, sir.

This is Bradley.

Yes, Mr. Castillo.

Mother, our Charlie Team leader is broadcasting.

Prepare to intercept and decode.

Are you getting that signal?

Yes, ma'am. It's static-y as hell but I'll get what I can.

I'm recording. I'll put it through the filter as soon as they're done.

- You done yet, mate? - Yeah.

Elvis is leaving the building.

Don't worry...

"Don't worry, the cargo won't be..."

Hundred? Hunkered? What's that word?

Hunters? Hundry?

She's singing our song, guys.

Don't worry...

Turn the treble all the way down and cut the low frequency.

Don't worry, the cargo won't be...

Don't worry, the cargo won't be...

Don't worry, the cargo won't be hungry.

And don't believe them if they say anything different.

I even brought some cookies for the kids.

Cargo won't be hungry.

Oh, my God.

CIC, comms, we need to break EMCON.

Captain, the resource on that train is not food, it's people.

They're transporting carloads of people.

Shit!

How long till the train hits those charges?

We've got five minutes if we're lucky!

Let's go! Let's go!

- Go! Go! Go! - Man, I missed you guys!

I'll get you as close as I can!

Closer!

Hang on, mate!

Come on, I got you!

- Let's go. - Come on! Move!

Come on, move it!

Get down!

You? What the...

Hit the brakes!

Get the lever!

Come on.

Fight's over. Mind letting off on my friend there?

Another 10 seconds, I'd have had him.

I need to see hands.

Everybody's hands.

Open it.

Open it yourself.

What happened?

- You can come out. - What did he say?

Where?

It's safe now.

- You're free. - Don't go.

What... What do you mean?

You're not slaves.

You don't have to go where these people tell you to.

You don't have to work where they tell you to!

You mean, we won't get fed?

There's food at the end of this line.

My kids haven't eaten since day before yesterday.

I haven't eaten since Sunday. Please.

Just let us go on our way.

Just close the door. Let us go, please?

Just close the door.

Welcome to the new America, Captain.

New America, my ass.

I know these times are desperate, believe me, but there's another way.

None of you are going to starve.

We can get things back to the way they were

if you just come with us.

There's enough food on this very train

to keep us all fed for at least a few days.

- And after that? - After that?

General, or whatever the hell you're called,

tell the men and women under your command to stand down!

If you think you can get them back, why don't you go ahead and try?

What the hell were you thinking?

- You took an oath! - To what?

- To what? - To the service! The country!

Captain, the thing I swore an oath to, it's gone!

It was torn up two weeks ago.

I might as well have sworn an oath to the tooth fairy.

You go hungry for a week and then you can stand in judgment.

- You could've fought back. - My commanding officer tried that.

They cut his throat in his office!

I play ball and I live. And my kids live!

It's that simple.

- What happened? - I'm trying to get confirmation now.

Manuel, we worked this out. If this is some kind of ploy...

I had my General on that train to deliver it personally.

I assure you, there is no ploy.

I got half a dozen power plants that can't work

because there's no one there to operate them.

I need bodies.

- Roberta... - I am not kidding.

If this place goes dark, so do you.

I'll put your territory back into the Stone Age with the flip of a switch.

Don't do that.

Mr. Castillo, find that train, get it moving

or you will lose Beatty's territory.

Get a secure line. Call the base in San Diego.

I need divers in the water to confirm

that the ship that we sank was the Nathan James.

Nathan James be advised.

We have dozens of malnourished citizens who need medical attention

and a full complement of unaffiliated military...

- Have Doc prep helo bay 1 for triage. - All right, ma'am.

Easy now.

Captain, we're monitoring a microwave signal

that's being received by a device at your location.

Who's calling?

Signal emanates from an area

of high microwave origination, north of Los Angeles.

It's your boss. Tell Castillo you wanna see him.

You thought you had no choice?

Well, you have a choice now.

Let's take him down together.

Mr. Castillo?

Yes.

Sir, there's been an incident with the train.

No, sir, the cargo is intact.

But I just think you better come down to the depot.

Yes, sir, I'll meet you there.

You're gonna have to kill him, you know.

We don't work that way.

- We'll give him his chance to surrender. - No, no, no, listen to me!

You have to kill this guy. If you don't, he's gonna kill every one of us.

Well, what happened?

Where's my train, General?

Today's not the day to screw with me!

- Shoot him! - He doesn't work for you anymore.

I changed my mind. Shoot him instead!

I suggest you put down your weapons.

Lieutenant Burk.

Please arrest Mr. Castillo

and prepare him for transport back to the James.

Pleasure, sir.

I made you a goddamn general.

Have you forgotten who feeds you? Your families?

This man will take the food from their mouths and give it to...

Sorry. That's too tight? Good.

So, I take it I answer to you now, CNO?

No, you answer to him.

Just like I do.

- Commander-in-Chief! - Attention!

We'll need to give them the oath.

They're rejoining the service of the United States.

Yes, sir, Mr. President.

Attention on deck.

Tom Chandler.

Saved America from the virus and they loved you for it.

Then they got hungry.

They miss things like heat, clean water and Wi-Fi.

They don't have any time for heroes now.

So do your victory dance.

When the filthy masses turn against you, give me a call.

I'll show you how to keep them in line.

But I will never cooperate.

Here's the deal, Manuel.

From here on out, you no longer get to decide what you will and will not do.

See, you had the chance to kill me.

Again.

And you blew it.

Again.

So you will cooperate.

And why is that?

Your army turned on you without hardly a shot fired.

Once your partners find out you lost control of your region and Beatty's...

They will cut you out like the cancer you are.

And let's not underestimate the filthy masses.

Once they hear what you're really about,

you'll need more than an army to keep them in line.

But I can always drop you back off at the depot.

See for ourselves.

He must've commandeered a Chinese destroyer back in Asia.

And then navigated it through the channel remotely.

We need to warn Castillo, ma'am.

It's too late. By now, Chandler already has him.

He may be Navy but he's badass.

Shut up, will you?

I need to think.
