00:00:1119 years, and it's still the same sun.
00:00:4119 years ago, I was a four-star general, vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and
00:00:47director of the National Counter-Terrorism Center.
00:00:49This war is a mistake.
00:00:51Haven't we learned enough from our last war?
00:00:53Our troops are dying for nothing out there.
00:00:55They're so desperate that they set themselves on fire outside our embassies and constables.
00:00:59And you want me to falsify intelligence and trick Congress into authorizing another war?
00:01:07I won't do it!
00:01:08Not a chance!
00:01:11John, think it through.
00:01:14I've thought it through.
00:01:18They slapped me with treason and threw me in prison.
00:01:22Treason.
00:01:25I didn't betray this country.
00:01:26This country betrayed me!
00:01:33General, it's been 19 years.
00:01:36You've gotten old.
00:01:39A Navy Rear Admiral now, and still crying like you did back in the Gulf War.
00:01:50General, my son Luke Weber is a Marine Corps Lieutenant Colonel now.
00:01:54You gave him his name.
00:01:56He commands a battalion now.
00:01:58He looks up to you more than anyone, sir.
00:02:01Good kid.
00:02:02Made his father proud.
00:02:04Made me proud, too.
00:02:09General, this is your presidential pardon.
00:02:11And this is your formal appointment order, personally signed by the President.
00:02:16He wants you back at the Pentagon immediately as Secretary of Defense.
00:02:20Come back, General.
00:02:22The Pentagon needs you.
00:02:23The military needs you.
00:02:25This country needs you.
00:02:26General, please return to the Pentagon.
00:02:29General, please return to the Pentagon.
00:02:32General, please return to the Pentagon.
00:02:34General, please return to the Patequan.
00:02:36General, why?
00:02:37You earned this.
00:02:38It's been 19 years.
00:02:40They owe you.
00:02:40This country owes you.
00:02:43Russell, I'm tired.
00:02:45I just want to go home, see my son, and live quietly for a while.
00:02:50General, please do it for the country.
00:02:57I've done enough of this country.
00:03:01Now I want to do something for my son.
00:03:09Brann, it's Dad.
00:03:11I'm out.
00:03:11You home?
00:03:12Brann's at the field hospital at Blackfire Island Base.
00:03:15He's badly wounded.
00:03:17He's not going to make it.
00:03:18They're still hurting him.
00:03:19They won't stop.
00:03:27They beat you again?
00:03:30It was not a beating.
00:03:31It was training.
00:03:33Training?
00:03:34Training?
00:03:34Do you think I'm stupid?
00:03:37Lieutenant Colonel Luke Webb says a traitor's son needs twice the training.
00:03:41I don't believe my dad is a traitor.
00:03:45My mom says he's a hero.
00:03:47I believe her.
00:03:49I believe you.
00:03:56If you don't let that arm heal, you may never lift it right again.
00:03:58Wouldn't that be better?
00:04:00Wouldn't that be better?
00:04:00Then you'd have to change my bandages every day.
00:04:04Dream on.
00:04:19Look at you.
00:04:21Look at you, son of a traitor and you still have the nerve to smile.
00:04:25This is a hospital.
00:04:49This is a hospital, Lieutenant Colonel Webb.
00:04:53Don't touch me!
00:04:53Don't touch me.
00:04:53Maybe that'll wash some shame off your family.
00:04:57Nay.
00:05:07All right, you still got some fighting you.
00:05:12Don't touch me.
00:05:12Hold him down!
00:05:15Let him go!
00:05:16Let him go!
00:05:23Luke!
00:05:24Come at me!
00:05:25Don't touch her!
00:05:28You want it?
00:05:29Fine.
00:05:32Stop it!
00:05:33Don't hurt him!
00:05:34Don't worry.
00:05:36You're next.
00:05:37Don't touch her!
00:05:38Strip her!
00:05:43Your father's a traitor and you're a useless piece of shit.
00:05:46A man like you doesn't deserve a woman.
00:05:49That's God's law.
00:05:51I'm not useless and my father is not a traitor!
00:06:01Don't touch me!
00:06:06Don't touch me!
00:06:06Brandon Kent, remember this moment.
00:06:08Remember what it feels like to be powerless.
00:06:11Luke!
00:06:12You can't protect anyone.
00:06:14Not your family.
00:06:15Not her.
00:06:17No one.
00:06:18Dad, where are you?
00:06:20Dad.
00:06:25I'm your commanding officer.
00:06:27Your entire future is in my hands.
00:06:30One word for me and your record is ruined.
00:06:34I'll make you exactly what they called your father.
00:06:37For the rest of your life you'll be branded as traitor.
00:06:41A coward!
00:06:49Damn.
00:06:51Got blood on my boots.
00:06:56Colonel, that's enough.
00:06:57If something happens to him.
00:06:59If something happens?
00:07:00Something happens?
00:07:02To who?
00:07:03Which one of you saw Bran get beaten?
00:07:05Sir, sir!
00:07:05We didn't see anything!
00:07:07Captain Harris, who's got the guts to investigate me.
00:07:11My father is Russell Webb, a Navy Rear Admiral.
00:07:16One word from him and even the tide on Blackfire Island base turns.
00:07:20You really want to go against him?
00:07:23No, sir!
00:07:27Brandon Kent, put him on the deserter list.
00:07:30Seal his record permanently.
00:07:32No appeals.
00:07:33Ever!
00:07:38My father isn't a deserter and neither am I.
00:07:43Once you're in that book, you're not a person anymore.
00:07:46You're a number.
00:07:47A piece of meat.
00:07:50I can call you up however I want.
00:07:58However I damn well want!
00:08:04I gave everything for this country and this is what you did to my son.
00:08:10None of you are walking away from this!
00:08:12No!
00:08:21I can't!
00:08:26I'm going to stop you!
00:08:30No!
00:08:32No!
00:08:33No!
00:08:34No!
00:08:36No!
00:08:37No!
00:08:40No!
00:08:41No!
00:08:47Born from a coward. Born to feed the dog.
00:08:56Coward son is still a coward. Your father was your coward.
00:09:00Born from a coward. Born a coward. That's all you'll ever be.
00:09:03Father.
00:09:16My father is no coward. You son of a bitch. You killed my dog.
00:09:32Who the hell laid a hand on my son?
00:09:39Old bastard. You got a death wish. Hands on your head. Now.
00:09:44You think you can lay a hand on me?
00:09:48When I carried that flag through the desert for this country, you were still in diapers.
00:09:56A traitorous old deserter thinks he gets to lecture us? You and your son are the same pathetic trash.
00:10:19Come on, old bastard. Let's see what's faster. You or my bullet.
00:10:23Take one more step if you've got the guts.
00:10:28Dad.
00:10:32Drop it.
00:10:37On your knees!
00:10:42Son. Dad's here. Don't be scared.
00:10:45Look at that.
00:10:47So touching.
00:10:48A real father-son moment. I could damn near cry.
00:10:52Why'd you come back, old man?
00:10:53Only one pathetic loser was supposed to die tonight!
00:10:56Let my son go.
00:10:57If anything happens to him, not even your father can save you.
00:11:01No one in this country can.
00:11:05Oh my god! An old deserter telling me no one can protect me?
00:11:12Did you all hear that? I'm dying here!
00:11:16Bring me the bomb!
00:11:22You want your son to live?
00:11:24I'm fine.
00:11:25But only one of you walks away. Choose.
00:11:34General, security just reported an unidentified armed man on Blackfire Island base.
00:11:39General Kent?
00:11:42What is he doing on Blackfire Island base?
00:11:45General, we confirmed it.
00:11:46Your son, Lieutenant Colonel Webb, has been abusing a recruit named Brandon Kent.
00:11:50The armed man appears to be Brandon's father.
00:11:52What?
00:11:58That idiot!
00:12:00Does he have any idea who he's picked a fight with?
00:12:03Pass my order!
00:12:05Mobilize the entire Marine Division!
00:12:11General, you were right.
00:12:13If we don't get there soon, General Kent is done for.
00:12:15Luke has a thousand men.
00:12:16General Kent is alone.
00:12:17Screw that!
00:12:18The one who's done is my idiot's son.
00:12:20If anything happens to General Kent or his son,
00:12:23no one in this country can survive his wrath!
00:12:29The classic red wire, blue wire game.
00:12:32One pair of cutters, two minutes.
00:12:36Choose.
00:12:37Cut the wire on your girl, your dad dies.
00:12:39Cut the wire on your dad, your girl dies.
00:12:45Brandon, don't listen to him!
00:12:47Cut your dad's wire!
00:12:49He's insane!
00:12:51Shut up!
00:12:55The countdown starts now.
00:12:57If you don't choose, all three of you die.
00:13:03Didn't you say your dad's a hero?
00:13:05Then let the hero die from your future wife.
00:13:07The red one's tied to your dad.
00:13:09Easy choice.
00:13:10Brandon, I made peace with death a long time ago.
00:13:13Cut mine.
00:13:15Cut mine.
00:13:20Fuck you!
00:13:21I'm not choosing!
00:13:23Run!
00:13:23Run!
00:13:28Ah!
00:13:36Brandon!
00:13:43Brandon!
00:13:49He needs emergency treatment now.
00:13:51If we don't get him treated, he's gone.
00:13:54Move!
00:14:00Move!
00:14:03I said move!
00:14:05Not bad, old bastard.
00:14:07But can you take a hundred men?
00:14:09No?
00:14:10Then crawl back and kneel.
00:14:11If my son dies, no one on Blackfire Island Base
00:14:15and the Marine Corps of the Defense Department will be able to protect you.
00:14:19Not even your father.
00:14:21My father?
00:14:23Do you even know who my father is?
00:14:25Russell Webb, the Navy rear armament in command of Blackfire Island Base?
00:14:28I can do whatever the hell I want.
00:14:33What the fuck is that?
00:14:35What the fuck is that?
00:14:38Like a master, you can send me to Salmon?
00:14:50Stop all that.
00:14:51Ipathic team, you will be so high.
00:14:51Kill him, you will be so high.
00:14:54Don't be right.
00:14:55Maybe 11 kg Isla in command.
00:14:55Let's go out.
00:14:57Don't be right.
00:14:58You are right.
00:15:07What the fuck?
00:15:26Dad!
00:15:28Dad, I'm right here!
00:15:34Dad, what the hell is this?
00:15:35Look at them!
00:15:36They've got me targeted!
00:15:38They're aiming at the wrong guy!
00:15:39Medic!
00:15:40Where's the medic?
00:15:42His heart rate is dropping fast!
00:16:02General, he's in critical condition.
00:16:04We need to get him to the field hospital now.
00:16:15Dad, now that you're back, don't leave again.
00:16:21Hang on, son.
00:16:22I'm here.
00:16:23I'm not going anywhere.
00:16:26Dad, I told them you were a hero.
00:16:29I said it 10,000 times, but they still beat me.
00:16:33You protected them, so why would they do this to me?
00:16:36Why?
00:16:53No!
00:16:57AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
00:17:00AHHHHHHHHHH!
00:17:01AHHHHHHHHH!
00:17:04AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
00:17:14Hahaha!
00:17:16Damn. He's dead? I thought we'd get to play a little longer.
00:17:18Dad, you showed up right on time.
00:17:20You should have seen it.
00:17:21This old man was on his knees, begging in front of me, pathetic as hell.
00:17:25And his son was crawling around like a dog.
00:17:27What a pair of losers.
00:17:29And they still don't even know who they messed with.
00:17:33Hey, you old loser.
00:17:35Quit the funeral act and get over here.
00:17:37My dad is here now.
00:17:39If you get on your knees in front of him, maybe I'll let you take your son's body.
00:17:58You dare hit my dad?
00:18:05Navy rear-arginal Russell Webb, awaiting orders.
00:18:14Awaiting orders!
00:18:32Dad, are you out of your mind?
00:18:34Why are you saluting him?
00:18:36He's a deserter, a traitor.
00:18:38He begged on his knees like a dog just now, and you saluted him?
00:18:41Shut your mouth, you bastard!
00:18:43Do you have any idea who he is?
00:18:49That's Jonathan Kent.
00:18:51Hero of the Gulf War and a four-star general.
00:18:54I was pinned down in the desert for three days with no ammo.
00:18:57He cut a path through enemy fire alone with a machine gun.
00:19:01Without him, I'd have been dead and buried 30 years ago.
00:19:04Without him, our flag would have been buried in the sand out there.
00:19:07Without him, you wouldn't even exist.
00:19:09You're not even worthy of kneeling before him, let alone making him kneel to you.
00:19:13And you thought you had the right to do that?
00:19:15No, but isn't he a traitor?
00:19:18That's what the file said.
00:19:19It was a setup!
00:19:21Goddamn politics!
00:19:22He carried this country's sins for 19 years and ours too!
00:19:29While you were eating, drinking, and playing at the academy,
00:19:32he was rotting in a cell, taking the fall for men like me!
00:19:35Do you even understand that?
00:19:43General, I failed to raise my son properly.
00:19:46I accept full responsibility.
00:19:47Punish me as you see fit.
00:19:53Russell, you said that 30 years ago.
00:19:55Without me, you'd already be dead.
00:19:59Yes, sir.
00:20:04And 19 years ago, if I hadn't covered for you, you'd be dead again.
00:20:10Yes, sir.
00:20:16You don't have to repay me with your life.
00:20:20But today, his life pays for my son's.
00:20:25Any objections?
00:20:38I'm begging you, General!
00:20:40Please spare him!
00:20:48Dad!
00:20:57You object!
00:21:02General, I only have one son!
00:21:07He's my only son, too!
00:21:15General, do you really have to kill him?
00:21:21Yes!
00:21:23Yes!
00:21:28What if I say no?
00:21:32Are you turning on me?
00:21:37I already have.
00:21:40Who do you think put you in prison 19 years ago?
00:21:44Who did you think handed the president that forged intel?
00:21:47Who do you think got to every judge on your court-martial?
00:21:52Russell!
00:21:55Me.
00:21:56Every single day of those 19 years you were in prison
00:22:00was my gift to you.
00:22:04Why?
00:22:05Why?
00:22:06Because you were in my way.
00:22:08After the Gulf War,
00:22:10the Blast worshipped you like a god.
00:22:12And me?
00:22:13I was always the little snot-nose trailing behind you.
00:22:16What, was I supposed to be your sidekick forever?
00:22:18Live in your shadow my whole life!
00:22:20So I put you away.
00:22:22You did the time,
00:22:23and I became Rear Admiral.
00:22:25Your son got beaten like a dog,
00:22:28while mine got to play king on Blackfire Island Base.
00:22:31You couldn't stand above me anymore.
00:22:33And damn,
00:22:34it felt good.
00:22:43Dad,
00:22:44I knew we didn't have to be afraid of this old bastard!
00:22:46Jonathan,
00:22:47even if you took the president's offer
00:22:49and became Secretary of Defense,
00:22:51you still couldn't touch me.
00:22:52I've already arranged a marriage alliance
00:22:54with Secretary of State Caitlin Blair.
00:22:56My son is going to marry her daughter.
00:23:03Blair is marrying her daughter off to your son?
00:23:07Blair is the frontrunner for the presidency.
00:23:09Once she's in office,
00:23:11I'll be Secretary of Defense.
00:23:12You're just an old man fresh out of prison.
00:23:15Not even God can save you now.
00:23:28I won't allow this marriage.
00:23:33You won't allow it?
00:23:34Who the hell are you?
00:23:35Nineteen years in a cell,
00:23:37no rank,
00:23:37no pull,
00:23:38and your son's barely breathing.
00:23:39And you think you get a say?
00:23:41Want me to call Blair down here
00:23:42so she can tell you herself?
00:23:44Call her?
00:23:44You even have Blair's number?
00:23:47Need me to give it to you?
00:23:52Dad prison fried his brain.
00:23:55He still thinks he's a four-star general.
00:23:59John?
00:24:00John, is that you?
00:24:01Oh my God, it's really you.
00:24:03You're out?
00:24:04When?
00:24:04Where are you?
00:24:05Are you okay?
00:24:13Damn,
00:24:13you actually called.
00:24:15I can't have you dragging
00:24:16those old bastards into this.
00:24:19Blair's on my side now,
00:24:20so
00:24:22I'm not scared.
00:24:25But don't make this messy
00:24:27for me, boss.
00:24:28Russell,
00:24:29what do you really want from me?
00:24:30I want you
00:24:32to hand me command
00:24:34of the entire military.
00:24:42John?
00:24:43John?
00:24:44John!
00:24:46Get in here!
00:24:49Madam Secretary?
00:24:50Trace that call.
00:24:51It came through my secure line.
00:24:52I want the location now.
00:24:54Madam Secretary,
00:24:54the signal came from
00:24:55Blackfire Island Base,
00:24:56relay station FT-0791.
00:24:59Get me the Pentagon.
00:25:04Madam Secretary,

00:25:17John,

00:25:20This time,
00:25:21you're not carrying it alone.

00:27:06Command the whole military?
00:27:08For a rear admiral,
00:27:09you've got one hell of an appetite.
00:27:13Boss,
00:27:14you taught me to think big.
00:27:15My idiot son
00:27:16is about to marry
00:27:17Secretary Blair's daughter.
00:27:18Once you sign and confess,
00:27:21Secretary of Defense
00:27:22is mine,
00:27:23then the entire military
00:27:24answers to Webb.
00:27:26You've lost it.
00:27:27Maybe.
00:27:28But your son's dying.
00:27:30What choice do you have?
00:27:31His pulse is fading!
00:27:33Please!
00:27:34Treat him first!
00:27:36Please!
00:27:42Save him?
00:27:43My dad's still talking.
00:27:44Nobody's saving shit.
00:27:50Sign it.
00:27:52You want me to confess
00:27:53I'm a traitor?
00:27:54You already are.
00:27:56This just makes it official.
00:27:58Admit you forged the intel
00:27:5919 years ago.
00:28:01Admit you lied to Congress.
00:28:03Admit you betrayed this country.
00:28:05Sign it.
00:28:06And your son lives.
00:28:07Russell,
00:28:08you know exactly
00:28:09who forged that intel.
00:28:10Yeah,
00:28:11it was me.
00:28:11So what?
00:28:12History belongs to the winners.
00:28:14Once you sign,
00:28:16you're the traitor on record.
00:28:18And me?
00:28:19I take down scum like you
00:28:21and walk straight into
00:28:22the Secretary of Depressed job.
00:28:27No!
00:28:32No!
00:28:35No!
00:28:36No!
00:28:36No!
00:28:37No!
00:28:38No!
00:28:39No!
00:28:40No!
00:28:40No!
00:28:41No!
00:28:42No!
00:28:43No!
00:28:43No!
00:28:44No!
00:28:46You old bastard!
00:28:48You spit on my dad!
00:28:49You spit on my dad!
00:28:53How's that feel, boss?
00:28:55Never better.
00:28:58Luke?!
00:28:59Got it!
00:29:00Stay away from him!
00:29:01Stay the fuck away from him!
00:29:10RUN!
00:29:13Still won't sign, old man?
00:29:15You're tough.
00:29:16Let's see if your son is.
00:29:29Old man, if I dig any deeper...
00:29:33I might touch his lung.
00:29:36Want me to find out?
00:29:44How long do you think your boy has left?
00:29:47One minute?
00:29:48Two?
00:29:49Take a guess.
00:29:54I'll sign.
00:29:58Mr. Kent, don't sign!
00:30:02If you sign, they'll brand you a traitor forever!
00:30:06Dad, don't sign.
00:30:09I don't want you going back to prison.
00:30:11You already suffered for 19 years.
00:30:13I'd rather die.
00:30:16Shut your damn mouth!
00:30:18You think you didn't suffer?
00:30:19Look at you.
00:30:21Beaten.
00:30:21Treated like a dog.
00:30:24What kind of life did you have?
00:30:27Nineteen years is nothing compared to what I owe you.
00:30:32Son, as long as you live, I'll do the time.
00:30:39I can rot in that cell for the rest of my life.
00:30:42But what about you?
00:30:44They'll call you a traitor forever!
00:30:47You're a hero!
00:30:49You're a hero, Dad!
00:30:56Traitor.
00:30:57Hero.
00:30:58Those are just names.
00:30:59I don't care.
00:31:03I just need you alive.
00:31:08Mr. Kent!
00:31:18Dad!
00:31:20He signed it!
00:31:21The old bastard actually signed it!
00:31:27Well, well.
00:31:29Jonathan Kent, four-star general.
00:31:31Hero of the Gulf War.
00:31:33And now,
00:31:35a traitor on record.
00:31:40Dad!
00:31:41Secretary of Defense!
00:31:43You're going to be Secretary of Defense!
00:31:47Easy, son.
00:31:49The best days for the Webb family are just beginning.
00:31:53Now let my son go.
00:31:55Let your son go?
00:31:57Come on, boss.
00:31:59You've helped me this much.
00:32:00Help me with one last thing.
00:32:04What now?
00:32:08Do me a favor.
00:32:10And die.
00:32:17Dad!
00:32:18Dad!
00:32:19Kill me instead!
00:32:21Don't touch my dad!
00:32:23You?
00:32:26Who the hell are you?
00:32:28You're not even worth dying in his place.
00:32:35Russell!
00:32:39A traitor signs his confession, can't live with the shame, then blows his brains out.
00:32:44I've already written tomorrow's headline.
00:32:45National disgrace Jonathan after confessing.
00:32:48After that, you're a traitor forever.
00:32:51No one clears your names.
00:32:53You sure you won't regret this?
00:32:58Dad, he says you'll regret it!
00:33:01He actually said that!
00:33:03You were locked up too long.
00:33:07Did prison rot your brain?
00:33:09Do you even know who I'm about to be tied to?
00:33:12Caitlin Blair, the Secretary of State.
00:33:15Youngest ever!
00:33:16Most powerful ever!
00:33:17She runs the State Department, has Congress in her pocket, and even DIA, NSA, and the CIA answer to her!
00:33:23Yeah.
00:33:24Secretary Blair's running for president.
00:33:27Once I marry her daughter, I'm the future president's son-in-law.
00:33:31My dad becomes Secretary of Defense, and this whole country?
00:33:35We run it.
00:33:36You're a washed-up old man, fresh out of a cell.
00:33:39No rank, no backing, nothing.
00:33:41Your son's life is in my hands, and you think I'll regret this?
00:33:45Even if you became Secretary of Defense, you couldn't lay a finger on me.
00:33:52Goodbye, boss.
00:33:57No! Dad!
00:34:04No!
00:34:07John!
00:34:08No!
00:34:09No!
00:34:11No!
00:34:14No!
00:34:15No!
00:34:16No!
00:34:17No!
00:34:18No!
00:34:19No!
00:34:47Oh, my God.
00:34:52Find out what the hell is going on!
00:34:55General, massive forces outside Blackfire Island base. We're surrounded.
00:34:59How many?
00:34:59No count.
00:35:00Too many. The sky's packed with jets. Radars flooded with contacts.
00:35:03Dozens of squadrons over Blackfire Island.
00:35:07F-35s everywhere.
00:35:19And a carrier strike group has sealed off the coast.
00:35:29Bullshit! No one moves this much firepower without orders from the Defense Department
00:35:34and the President!
00:35:37General! The base perimeter's collapsed! We're taking heavy losses! We're done!
00:35:45No. Impossible.
00:35:46Get me Secretary Blair. Now!
00:35:48No.
00:35:49No.
00:36:22Madam Secretary?
00:36:24Dad! It's Secretary Blair! She's here!
00:36:29You're dead, old man!
00:36:32My future mother-in-law is here!
00:36:34Secretary Blair, you came yourself?
00:36:37Don't worry, we've got it handled.
00:36:39My dad made him sign the confession. He's done for.
00:36:41We're family now, right?
00:36:43And about that defense secretary job...
00:36:58Anti-player?
00:37:00Take their weapons.
00:37:10Madam Secretary, what is this?
00:37:13We're about to be family!
00:37:16Luke is marrying your daughter.
00:37:19You can't...
00:37:23Since when are we family?
00:37:46John...
00:37:46Kate...
00:37:48You still look the same.
00:37:51Nineteen years.
00:37:52Look what they did to you.
00:37:55You haven't changed.
00:37:57Still beautiful.
00:37:59Please.
00:38:00You barely recognized me just now.
00:38:03I did.
00:38:05No one else walks across shell caves and heels like you.
00:38:16No way.
00:38:17You...
00:38:17You know each other?
00:38:19How is that possible?
00:38:21He's a washed-up ex-con!
00:38:23How the hell does he know the Secretary of State?
00:38:28Jonathan Kent is my ex-husband.
00:38:31You touch him, you answer to me.
00:38:33What?!
00:38:34John, it's your call.
00:38:36What happens to them?
00:38:37The coffins are already here.
00:38:40Bury them.
00:38:47No, no, don't!
00:38:48Dad!
00:38:49Dad!
00:38:50Save me!
00:38:51I don't want to be buried alive!
00:38:53No!
00:38:57Dad!
00:38:58Save me!
00:39:01Beg Blair!
00:39:02You said we were family, right?
00:39:04Beg her!
00:39:06Get down and beg!
00:39:14Madam Secretary, I was wrong.
00:39:16I know I was wrong.
00:39:18I won't marry your daughter, I swear.
00:39:21Please spare me!
00:39:22I'll do anything!
00:39:24Please!
00:39:26Don't apologize to me.
00:39:29General Kent, I was wrong!
00:39:31I shouldn't have hurt your son!
00:39:32I shouldn't have tortured him!
00:39:34I'm a monster!
00:39:36I'm not human!
00:39:37Please, let me live!
00:39:45Boss, I wronged you.
00:39:47But, he's my only son.
00:39:54Neither of you is sorry.
00:39:57You just know you're about to die.
00:40:04Too late.
00:40:15Hang on, son.
00:40:17Dad's getting you out of here.
00:40:19This way!
00:40:20The field hospital's this way!
00:40:21Hurry!
00:40:30Carry it out.
00:40:33No!
00:40:34Dad, help me!
00:40:37Somebody save me, please!
00:40:50I don't want to die!
00:40:56I'm a Navy Rear Admiral.
00:40:59I'm supposed to be
00:41:00Secretary of Defense.
00:41:03My son is marrying
00:41:04the Secretary of State's daughter.
00:41:07This can't be happening.
00:41:10This isn't how it was supposed to go.
00:41:15Wait!
00:41:17Go ahead!
00:41:19Bury me!
00:41:20But can you bury
00:41:22the four great Wall Street
00:41:24dynasties, too?
00:41:27Rockefeller.
00:41:31DuPont.
00:41:32Mellon.
00:41:34The four great
00:41:35Wall Street
00:41:37dynasties.
00:41:38They were my allies
00:41:40nineteen years ago.
00:41:46Madam Secretary,
00:41:48one word from me
00:41:49and all four families
00:41:51dump the market.
00:41:52It crashes in three hours.
00:41:53What do you tell the President?
00:41:55What do you tell
00:41:56three hundred million voters?
00:41:57How long do you keep
00:41:58your job after that?
00:42:00Are you threatening me?
00:42:03Wouldn't dream of it.
00:42:04I'm just stating facts.
00:42:09You think I spent
00:42:10nineteen years
00:42:11playing rear admiral?
00:42:12I'm here because
00:42:13those four families
00:42:14needed a man inside
00:42:15to control the country's
00:42:16arms routes
00:42:17by sea,
00:42:18air,
00:42:18and land.
00:42:19It all runs through me.
00:42:21Madam Secretary,
00:42:22you're not just
00:42:22talking to me.
00:42:24You're talking to
00:42:25Wall Street.
00:42:26Maybe you're not
00:42:27afraid of me.
00:42:28But what about Jonathan?
00:42:30The four families
00:42:31have plenty of ways
00:42:32to turn his quiet life
00:42:33into hell.
00:42:34You can protect him
00:42:36for a day.
00:42:37Can you protect him
00:42:38for life?
00:42:39Lay one finger on him
00:42:40and I'll kill you
00:42:41right here.
00:42:43You don't have the guts.
00:42:44Madam Secretary,
00:42:45kill me,
00:42:46and by sunrise
00:42:47Wall Street goes feral.
00:42:48You're a politician.
00:42:50Your job is to do the math,
00:42:51so do it.
00:42:52What's worth more,
00:42:53my life or the entire economy?
00:42:55Swear you'll leave
00:42:56Kent alone.
00:42:57Then get out.
00:43:05The boss has been out
00:43:07for two days.
00:43:15No word from him?
00:43:19Where is Russell?
00:43:21He was supposed
00:43:21to pick him up.
00:43:25Should I call Russell?
00:43:31Have you forgotten
00:43:32what the boss
00:43:33told us
00:43:34before he went inside?
00:43:38From this day on,
00:43:40the four families
00:43:41have nothing to do
00:43:42with Jonathan Kent.
00:43:45You don't know me.
00:43:47I never met you.
00:43:49Any business
00:43:50with Russell Webb
00:43:50is your own call.
00:43:52Keep your names buried.
00:43:59Back then,
00:44:00he was protecting us.
00:44:02Russell, too.
00:44:0419 years.
00:44:05Does that order
00:44:06still stand?
00:44:07He's out now.
00:44:09Should we go see him?
00:44:10Call Russell first.
00:44:12He'll know
00:44:12where the boss is.
00:44:19Johnson Rockefeller speaking.
00:44:21Mr. Rockefeller,
00:44:22Russell Webb,
00:44:22I need all four families
00:44:24to move now.
00:44:25Hit the market.
00:44:26Put pressure on the president.
00:44:38Johnson said yes.
00:44:41At tomorrow's opening bell,
00:44:43the four Wall Street
00:44:44dynasties move together.
00:44:47Stocks, bonds,
00:44:50currencies,
00:44:51everything crashes at once.
00:44:54Son,
00:44:55you know what that means?
00:44:57It means
00:44:59the president
00:45:00calls us first.
00:45:05Bigger than that.
00:45:07By tomorrow morning,
00:45:10300 million people
00:45:11wake up broke.
00:45:13Their pensions gone.
00:45:15Their stocks,
00:45:16worthless.
00:45:18Banks taking their homes.
00:45:20Bankrupt people
00:45:22in the streets.
00:45:23Bodies on the pavement.
00:45:25Then the president,
00:45:27Congress,
00:45:28the whole country.
00:45:34They'll all be on their knees,
00:45:37begging me to fix it.
00:45:40And then?
00:45:41Then what?
00:45:43Then I stop being a rear admiral.
00:45:45I become
00:45:46secretary of defense.
00:45:48No!
00:45:49President!
00:45:50And you.
00:45:52You'll be the first son.
00:45:54Any woman you want.
00:45:56Any house you want.
00:45:57Any power you want.
00:45:59It's yours.
00:46:01Hell yeah!
00:46:03This is incredible!
00:46:04Let that old Bisterd
00:46:06and his useless son die.
00:46:07Die!
00:46:08Die!
00:46:09Death isn't enough.
00:46:11I'll make them rot
00:46:13in history.
00:46:15Tomorrow,
00:46:16on national TV,
00:46:18Jonathan Kent
00:46:19will confess
00:46:20that he and his son
00:46:21are both deserters.
00:46:31Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
00:46:46Dad.
00:46:49Bran,
00:46:50you're awake.
00:46:51Are you hurt?
00:46:54Where does it hurt?
00:46:56I'll get the doctor.
00:46:59Dad,
00:47:00they hurt you too.
00:47:05I'm tough.
00:47:07A few hits won't kill me.
00:47:09Don't lie to me.
00:47:11I'm not worth all this.
00:47:16Listen to me.
00:47:17You're worth it.
00:47:20You're the only thing
00:47:21in my life worth a damn.
00:47:24Traitor,
00:47:24confession,
00:47:25none of it matters.
00:47:29Let them say what they want.
00:47:31You're my son.
00:47:32Always.
00:47:33Dad,
00:47:34I missed you.
00:47:35For 19 years,
00:47:37I thought about you
00:47:37every day.
00:47:39When they beat me,
00:47:41I called for you.
00:47:42But you weren't there.
00:47:44I'm here.
00:47:46I'm not going anywhere.
00:47:48Not ever again.
00:47:59An unprecedented financial crisis
00:48:01is unfolding
00:48:01just 15 minutes
00:48:03after the opening bell.
00:48:04The Dow is down
00:48:05more than 20,000 points.
00:48:07The S&P has triggered
00:48:08a level one market halt.
00:48:10People of this country,
00:48:11do you know
00:48:11who caused this disaster?
00:48:13Jonathan Kent,
00:48:14a trader.
00:48:15He conspired
00:48:16with foreign powers
00:48:17and sold out this country.
00:48:19He must go on national television
00:48:21and confess his crimes.
00:48:23Until he does,
00:48:24this crisis will not end.
00:48:25Until he does,
00:48:26this crisis will not end.
00:48:29Jonathan Kent
00:48:30and Brandon Kent
00:48:31betrayed this country.
00:48:33They deserted in combat.
00:48:35Father and son,
00:48:37both deserters.
00:48:41Dad,
00:48:42what are you doing?
00:48:44I'm taking back
00:48:45what I gave that bastard
00:48:4619 years ago.
00:48:55People of this country,
00:48:57hear me.
00:48:58As long as I'm standing,
00:49:01no trader walks free.
00:49:09Russell Webb,
00:49:11I spared your life
00:49:12last night
00:49:12at Blackfire Island.
00:49:16You swore
00:49:17you'd leave
00:49:17Jonathan alone.
00:49:19What the hell
00:49:20are you doing now?
00:49:22You should have killed me
00:49:27last night.
00:49:31Russell,
00:49:32you called
00:49:32the four families
00:49:33and had them
00:49:34crash the market.
00:49:35300 million people
00:49:37lost their savings
00:49:38overnight.
00:49:39So tell me,
00:49:41who's the trader now?
00:49:43Where's your proof?
00:49:44Madam Secretary,
00:49:45you expect the whole country
00:49:46to take your word for it?
00:49:47You!
00:49:49Madam Secretary,
00:49:50the market is collapsing,
00:49:52people are dying,
00:49:53and the whole country
00:49:53is watching.
00:49:54You want it to stop?
00:49:56Get on your knees
00:49:57and beg me.
00:49:58Don't kneel
00:49:59and the market
00:50:00keeps falling.
00:50:01It won't stop
00:50:02until everyone
00:50:03burns with it.
00:50:05Dad,
00:50:06that's cold.
00:50:07She's the Secretary of State,
00:50:08the most powerful one ever.
00:50:10The most powerful one ever?
00:50:12Then let the most powerful
00:50:14Secretary in history
00:50:16kneel to me!
00:50:28Dad,
00:50:29look at her,
00:50:29she actually knelt.
00:50:32This is fucking perfect!
00:50:34Did you see that?
00:50:36Did the whole country see that?
00:50:38The Secretary of State
00:50:39just knelt to me!
00:50:41Madam Secretary,
00:50:43that was a good start,
00:50:44but I'm not done.
00:50:46I want one more person
00:50:47on his knees.
00:50:49Jonathan Kent!
00:50:50You hear me?
00:50:52Your woman already knelt for you,
00:50:54now it's your turn.
00:50:55Come face the country,
00:50:56admit you're a traitor,
00:50:58admit your son
00:50:58is a deserter,

00:51:00are your crime!
00:51:02Or else what?
00:51:06Well, well,
00:51:07the four-star general
00:51:08finally shows up.
00:51:09You wanted the whole country
00:51:10to see a traitor.
00:51:12Good.
00:51:12Let them watch.
00:51:14Today they'll see
00:51:14which one of us
00:51:15sold out this country.
00:51:20You're asking me
00:51:21who sold out this country?
00:51:23Dad,
00:51:23he did time,
00:51:24and it fried his brain.
00:51:26He still thinks
00:51:27he's a four-star general.
00:51:28Now he's here
00:51:29trying to interrogate you?
00:51:31I'm dying.
00:51:34Boss,
00:51:35you're out of cards.

00:52:25Allies,

00:52:29that's all.
00:52:31Dad,

00:53:22Why?
00:53:24How is this possible?
00:53:27They-
00:53:27How the hell
00:53:28are they yours?
00:53:2919 years!
00:53:30We were allies
00:53:31for 19 years!
00:53:33We moved markets together!
00:53:34We controlled
00:53:35the arms routes together!
00:53:37Why would they help you?
00:53:39It's fake, Dad!
00:53:40It has to be!
00:53:41They're actors!
00:53:42The old bastard
00:53:43paid them off!
00:53:44No way the four
00:53:44Wall Street dynasties
00:53:45take orders
00:53:46to some washed-up
00:53:47ex-con!
00:53:48Right!
00:53:50Staged!
00:53:51This is all staged!
00:53:52You're all setting me up!
00:54:03You ungrateful dog!
00:54:0419 years ago,
00:54:06who vouched for you
00:54:07on Capitol Hill
00:54:08and got you
00:54:08into naval intelligence?
00:54:10Jonathan Kent,
00:54:11who carried you
00:54:12out of a pile of bodies
00:54:13in the desert
00:54:14and kept you alive
00:54:15with his own blood.
00:54:16Jonathan Kent!
00:54:17He treated you
00:54:18like a brother!
00:54:19He took a nobody
00:54:20and made him
00:54:21a rear ardral!
00:54:23The four families
00:54:24threw you bones
00:54:25and plenty of meat
00:54:26only because
00:54:27he told us to!
00:54:29And what did you do?
00:54:30For your own ambition,
00:54:31you betrayed the only man
00:54:32who ever gave a damn
00:54:33about you!
00:54:34How many innocent people
00:54:35died because of you?
00:54:36We were blind
00:54:37for 19 years
00:54:39backing a piece
00:54:40of filth like you!
00:54:42Boss!
00:54:43I was wrong!
00:54:44Greed blinded me!
00:54:46I'm not a man!
00:54:48Spare me one more time!
00:54:49Just one last time!
00:54:50Russell,
00:54:51you still haven't
00:54:51answered me.
00:54:52Tell me,
00:54:53what cards
00:54:54do you have left?
00:54:55You're out of cards.
00:54:57Because of you,
00:54:58countless families
00:54:59are broken.
00:55:00People lost everything.
00:55:01Some were driven
00:55:02to take their own lives.
00:55:04Those lives,
00:55:04those futures
00:55:05were destroyed.
00:55:12You and your bastard son
00:55:14will pay for
00:55:14every bit of it.
00:55:17No!
00:55:18Boss,
00:55:18you can't do this to me!
00:55:20God,
00:55:20I was wrong!
00:55:21Please,
00:55:21just one more chance!
00:55:22I swear I'll never
00:55:23do it again!
00:55:24If regret could save
00:55:25men like you,
00:55:26hell wouldn't exist.
00:55:27You're both scum.
00:55:30You and that son of Yun
00:55:31have poison in your blood.
00:55:34Cold-blooded bastards
00:55:35like you belong in hell.
00:55:37General Kent,
00:55:37please don't kill me!
00:55:39I don't want to die!
00:55:39I was wrong!
00:55:40I'm a piece of shit!
00:55:41I'll be...
00:55:42No!
00:55:44Under Title 18,
00:55:45Section 2381,
00:55:46anyone owing allegiance
00:55:47to this country
00:55:48who wages war against it
00:55:50or gives aid to its enemies
00:55:52is guilty of treason.
00:55:54The penalty is death.
00:55:56Kate,
00:55:57handle them as traitors.
00:55:58Do it.
00:56:02No!
00:56:04Don't!
00:56:04Dad,
00:56:05say something!
00:56:09Jonathan,
00:56:10don't think this is over.
00:56:11You take me down today
00:56:13and your son
00:56:14is as good as dead.
00:56:17What did you just say?
00:56:20Open up.
00:56:22I can drink it myself.
00:56:23With that arm,
00:56:25open up.
00:56:34Who the hell
00:56:35are you?
00:56:42Mia!
00:56:43Get your fucking hands
00:56:45off her!
00:56:50Brandon Kent?
00:56:52The traitor's son?
00:56:54Well, well.
00:56:55Half dead
00:56:55and still talking tough.
00:56:58Who the hell are you?
00:57:03You want to live?
00:57:04Call that dessert
00:57:05father of here's.
00:57:06Now.
00:57:07No tricks.
00:57:10Not calling?
00:57:12Got guts.
00:57:25Let me go,
00:57:26you bastard!
00:57:27Listen,
00:57:28you little bastard.
00:57:29Make the call
00:57:30or I'll have
00:57:31your little girlfriend
00:57:32right here.
00:57:39Get off her!
00:57:41Don't touch her!
00:57:45Then make the call.
00:57:48Call that deserter
00:57:50father of yours.
00:57:51Tell him to come alone.
00:57:53No soldiers.
00:57:55Just Russell
00:57:56and Luke.
00:57:58Or I cut her throat first.
00:58:00then yours.
00:58:03You animals.
00:58:04Ten seconds.
00:58:05Ten.
00:58:07Nine.
00:58:08I'll call.
00:58:09I'll do it.
00:58:13What did you say?
00:58:15What did you do
00:58:16to my son?
00:58:17You'll find out
00:58:18soon enough.
00:58:25Dad, help me!
00:58:27Five men stormed
00:58:28the hospital.
00:58:28They're armed.
00:58:30They've got Mia.
00:58:31Dad, please save us!
00:58:42Well, boss?
00:58:43See who's winning now?
00:58:50You old bastard!
00:58:52Let us go
00:58:53or your son dies!
00:58:55That pretty little nurse
00:58:56dies, too.
00:58:58Feel hard.
00:59:01You animals!
00:59:03Listen carefully.
00:59:05Bring Russell Webb
00:59:06and his idiot son.
00:59:07You give me them,
00:59:09I give you your boy
00:59:10and his little girlfriend.
00:59:11Simple.
00:59:13And don't alert anyone.
00:59:15You do.
00:59:16I put them both
00:59:17in the ground.
00:59:18I keep my word.
00:59:24John, don't go.
00:59:25It's a trap.
00:59:26If you walk in alone
00:59:27with them,
00:59:27they'll kill you.
00:59:28Kate, I know
00:59:29it's a trap.
00:59:30But my son
00:59:31is the bait.
00:59:32Then let me
00:59:33send in troops.
00:59:34No, I'm going alone.
00:59:44Still playing
00:59:45the devoted father, huh?
00:59:46Don't worry.
00:59:48I'll make sure
00:59:49you see your son
00:59:50and his little girlfriend.
01:00:10Give me the address.
01:00:12You kept your word,
01:00:13General Kent.
01:00:14Hold Refinery 7.
01:00:16Come alone.
01:00:17No tricks.
01:00:18You know what happens
01:00:19if you try anything.
01:00:47He's clean.
01:00:48No weapons.
01:01:09Dad, don't come closer.
01:01:24General Kent.
01:01:26You made it.
01:01:31Welcome to the party.
01:01:40Let my son go.
01:01:45Sure.
01:01:46Give me the webs first.
01:01:48How do I know
01:01:49you'll keep your word?
01:01:52You don't have a choice,
01:01:54General Kent.
01:01:57That's right, old bastard.
01:01:59Let us go
01:02:00or your son
01:02:01gets his head blown off.
01:02:03Do it, boss.
01:02:04Volkov's got a temper.
01:02:05Don't test him.
01:02:18No, it's ready.
01:02:19Ah, ultimately.
01:02:40I said I'd let your son go, and I did.
01:02:58Old bastard, I said I'd spare your son.
01:03:01I never said I'd spare you.
01:03:14General Kent, my employer put a price on your head I couldn't refuse.
01:03:19Nothing personal.
