00:00:1119 years and it's still the same sun.
00:00:33General, you little snot-nose, you're late.
00:00:39My name is Jonathan Kent, 19 years ago I was a four-star general, vice chairman of the
00:00:45Joint Chiefs of Staff and director of the National Counterterrorism Center.
00:00:49This war is a mistake, haven't we learned enough from our last war?
00:00:53Our troops are dying for nothing out there, they're so desperate that they set themselves
00:00:57on fire outside our embassies and constables, and you want me to falsify intelligence and
00:01:02trick Congress into authorizing another war?
00:01:06I won't do it, not 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, this country betrayed me!
00:01:33General, it's been 19 years, you'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.
00:01:57He looks up to you more than anyone, sir.
00:02:01Good kid.
00:02:02Made his father proud.
00:02:04Made me proud too.
00:02:08General, this is your presidential pardon, and this is your formal appointment order,
00:02:14personally signed by the President.
00:02:16He wants you back at the Pentagon immediately as Secretary of Defense.
00:02:21Come back, General.
00:02:22The Pentagon needs you.
00:02:23The military needs you.
00:02:24This country needs you.
00:02:26General, please return to the Pentagon.
00:02:29General, why?
00:02:37You earned this.
00:02:38It's been 19 years.
00:02:40It's been 19 years.
00:02:40They owe you.
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 for this country.
00:03:00Now 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.
00:03:16He's not going to make it.
00:03:18They're still hurting him.
00:03:19They won't stop.
00:03:26They beat you again?
00:03:30It was not a beating.
00:03:31It was training.
00:03:33Training did this?
00:03:34Do you think I am stupid?
00:03:36Lieutenant 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.
00:03:59Wouldn'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.
00:04:20Son of a traitor and you still have the nerve to smile.
00:04:25This is a hospital, Lieutenant Colonel Webb.
00:04:27Don't touch me!
00:04:28You said that before too.
00:04:30When I had you pinned to the desk crying and begging me to stop.
00:04:34I was this close that night.
00:04:36Then you barged into the duty room, you son of a traitor.
00:04:41Fuck!
00:04:42I already had my belt undone!
00:04:46And now look at you.
00:04:48The son of a traitor actually got himself a girlfriend.
00:04:51Perfect.
00:04:52Hand her over to me.
00:04:53Maybe that'll wash some shame off your family name.
00:05:08Alright, you still got some fight in you.
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.
00:05:31Stop it!
00:05:33Don't hurt him!
00:05:34Don't worry.
00:05:35You're next.
00:05:37Don't touch her!
00:05:37Stripper!
00:05:42Your 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!
00:05:53And my father is not a traitor!
00:06:06Brandon Kent, remember this moment.
00:06:08Remember what it feels like to be powerless.
00:06:12You can't protect anyone.
00:06:14Not your family.
00:06:15Not her.
00:06:17No one.
00:06:17Dad.
00:06:19Where 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.
00:06:33I'll make you exactly what they called your father.
00:06:37For the rest of your life you'll be branded as traitor.
00:06:40A coward!
00:06:42A dictator!
00:06:47A dictator!
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?
00:07:00If something 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.
00:07:20Do you 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.
00:07:49I can call you up however I want.
00:07:58However I damn well want!

00:15:39Medic! Where's the medic? His heart rate is dropping fast!
00:16:02General, he's in critical condition. We 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. I'm here. I'm not going anywhere.
00:16:25Dad, I told them you were a hero. I said it 10,000 times, but they still beat me.
00:16:33You protected them, so why would they do this to me? Why?
00:16:53No!
00:16:57No!
00:16:59No!
00:17:01No!
00:17:13Ha ha ha ha!
00:17:15Damn, he's dead? I thought we'd get to play a little longer.
00:17:18Dad, you showed up right on time. You 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. What a pair of losers!
00:17:28And 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.
00:17:57You dare hit my dad!
00:18:05Navy Rear Arginal Russell Webb, awaiting order.
00:18:13Awaiting orders!
00:18:37Awaiting orders!
00:18:38You were dragged 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, hero 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? That's what the files said?
00:19:19It was a set-up! Goddamn 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, he was rotting in a cell, taking the fall for
00:19:34men like me!
00:19:35Do you even understand that?
00:19:43General, I failed to raise my son properly. I accept full responsibility. Punish me as you see fit.
00:19:53Russell, you said that 30 years ago. Without me, you'd already be dead.
00:19:59Yes, sir.
00:20:03And 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?
00:20:37I'm begging you, General! Please spare him!
00:20:50Dad...
00:20:58You object!
00:21:02General, I only have one son!
00:21:07He's my only son too!
00:21:16General...
00:21:18Do you really have to kill him?
00:21:20Yes!
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 was my gift to you!
00:22:04Why?
00:22:05Why?
00:22:06Because you were in my way!
00:22:08After the Gulf War, the 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, and I became Rear Admiral!
00:22:24Your son got beaten like a dog, while mine got to play king on Blackfire Island Base!
00:22:31You couldn't stand above me anymore, and damn it felt good!
00:22:43Dad, I knew we didn't have to be afraid of this old bastard!
00:22:46Jonathan, even if you took the president's offer and became secretary defense, you still couldn't touch me!
00:22:52I've already arranged a marriage alliance with 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 front-runner for the presidency!
00:23:09Once she's in office, I'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?! Who the hell are you?!
00:23:35Nineteen years in a cell, no rank, no pull, and your son's barely breathing!
00:23:39And you think you get a say?
00:23:41Want me to call Blair down here so she can tell you herself?
00:23:44Call her?
00:23:45You even have Blair's number?
00:23:47Need me to give it to you?
00:23:48Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
00:23:52Dad prison fried his brain.
00:23:55He still thinks he's a four-star general.
00:23:59John? John, is that you?
00:24:01Oh my God, it's really you!
00:24:03You're out? When? Where are you? Are you okay?
00:24:13Damn, you actually called.
00:24:15I can't have you dragging those old bastards into this.
00:24:19Blair's on my side now, so...
00:24:22I'm not scared.
00:24:25But don't make this messy for me, boss.
00:24:28Russell, what do you really want from me?
00:24:30I want you to hand me command of the entire military.
00:24:42John?
00:24:43John!
00:24:45Get in here!
00:24:49Madam Secretary?
00:24:50Trace that call, it came through my secure line. I want the location now.
00:24:53Madam Secretary, the signal came from Blackfire Island Base, Relay Station FT-0791.
00:24:59Get me the Pentagon.
00:25:03Madam Secretary, it's three in the morning.
00:25:07I said, get me the Pentagon!
00:25:17John, hold on.
00:25:20This time, you're not carrying it alone.
00:25:27Madam Secretary!
00:25:28Lock down Blackfire Island Base. No one in, no one out.
00:25:31Authorization code BLAIR-771. Now!
00:25:34Then notifies every active and retired officer who ever served under General Jonathan Kent
00:25:38their commander is on Blackfire Island with a gun to his head.
00:25:40Are they going to save him or not?
00:25:41Sound the war alert!
00:25:43Put the nation on emergency footing!
00:25:54Change course. Blackfire Island. Full speed ahead.
00:26:10Move out! We're heading to Blackfire Island.
00:26:13Yes, sir!
00:26:16Recall every mercenary. Cancel all leave.
00:26:21Stop every weapons shipment. Send it all to our private army. Now!
00:26:29Sir, where are we headed?
00:26:31Blackfire Island.
00:26:36Blackfire Island.
00:26:43Unlocked.
00:26:47Blackfire Island.
00:26:49Speak.
00:26:50We're on our way.
00:26:52He's waited 19 years.
00:26:54This time we're not keeping him waiting.
00:26:56John, your soldiers are coming.
00:27:05Command the whole military?
00:27:08For a rear admiral, you've got one hell of an appetite.
00:27:13Boss, you taught me to think big.
00:27:15My idiot son is about to marry Secretary Blair's daughter.
00:27:19Once you sign and confess,
00:27:21Secretary of Defense is mine,
00:27:23then the entire military answers to Webb.
00:27:25You've lost it.
00:27:27Maybe.
00:27:28But your son's dying.
00:27:29What choice do you have?
00:27:31His pulse is fading.
00:27:33Please, treat him first.
00:27:36Please!
00:27:41Save 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 I'm a traitor?
00:27:54You already are.
00:27:56This just makes it official.
00:27:58Admit you forged the intel 19 years ago.
00:28:01Admit you lied to Congress.
00:28:02Admit you betrayed this country.
00:28:05Sign it.
00:28:06And your son lives.
00:28:07Russell, you know exactly who forged that intel.
00:28:10Yeah, it 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.
00:28:17And me?
00:28:19I take down scum like you
00:28:21and walk straight into the Secretary of Depressed job.
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!
00:28:58Got it.
00:29:00Stay away from him!
00:29:01Stay the fuck away from him!
00:29:13Stay the fuck away from me!
00:29:15Stay the fuck away with me!
00:29:16Stay the fuck away from my dad!
00:29:27We'll take you till I need you!
00:29:27We'll take you till I need you!
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.
00:30:14I'd rather die.
00:30:15Shut your damn mouth!
00:30:17You think you didn't suffer?
00:30:19Look at you.
00:30:20Beaten, treated like a dog.
00:30:24What kind of life did you have?
00:30:2719 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!
00:30:48You're a hero!
00:30:49You're a hero, Dad!
00:30:55Traitor, hero.
00:30:58Those are just names.
00:30:59I don't care.
00:31:02I 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, a traitor on record.
00:31:40Dad!
00:31:41Secretary of Defense!
00:31:42You'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.
00:32:00Helped me with one last thing.
00:32:04What now?
00:32:08Do me a favor and die.
00:32:17Dad!
00:32:18Dad!
00:32:19Kill me instead!
00:32:21Don't touch my dad!
00:32:24You?
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.
00:32:43I'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!
00:33:00He 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?
00:33:13Caitlin 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.
00:33:30My 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.
00:33:43And 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!
00:33:57No!
00:33:58No!
00:33:59No!
00:34:07No!
00:34:14No!
00:34:17No!
00:34:20No!
00:34:21No!
00:34:24No!
00:34:26No!
00:34:52Find out what the hell is going on!
00:34:54General! Massive forces outside Blackfire Island base! We're surrounded!
00:34:59How many? No count! Too many!
00:35:01The 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 and the President!
00:35:37General! The base perimeter's collapsed! We're taking heavy losses! We're done!
00:35:45No! Impossible! Get me Secretary Blair! Now!
00:35:48Now!
00:35:48Now!
00:35:49Now!
00:35:51Let's go.
00:36:22Madam Secretary?
00:36:24Dad! It's Secretary Blair! She's here!
00:36:29You're dead, old man!
00:36:31My future mother-in-law is here!
00:36:34Secretary Blair, you came yourself?
00:36:37Don't worry, we've got it handled.
00:36:38My 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...
00:36:57A-Aunty Blair?
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?
00:37:44John.
00:37:46Kate.
00:37:48You still look the same.
00:37:50Nineteen years.
00:37:52Look what they did to you.
00:37:54You haven't changed.
00:37:56Still beautiful.
00:37:59Please.
00:38:00You barely recognized me just now.
00:38:03I did.
00:38:05No one else walks across shell-cays in heels like you.
00:38:15No 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.
00:38:32What?
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!
00:38:50I don't want to be buried alive!
00:38:52No!
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!
00:39:23Please!
00:39:26Don't apologize to me.
00:39:29General Kent!
00:39:30I 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!
00:39:35I'm not human!
00:39:37Please!
00:39:37Let me live!
00:39:44Boss,
00:39:45I 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.
00:40:03Too 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!
00:40:22Hurry!
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.
00:40:58I'm supposed to be Secretary of Defense.
00:41:03My son is marrying the 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 the four great Wall Street dynasties, too?
00:41:27Rockefeller.
00:41:31DuPont.
00:41:32Mellon.
00:41:34The four great Wall Street dynasties.
00:41:38They were my allies 19 years ago.
00:41:46Madam Secretary.
00:41:48One word from me, and all four families dump the market.
00:41:52It crashes in three hours.
00:41:53What do you tell the President?
00:41:55What do you tell 300 million voters?
00:41:57How long do you keep your 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 19 years playing rear admiral?
00:42:12I'm here because those four families needed a man inside to control the country's arms
00:42:16roots by sea, air, and land.
00:42:19It all runs through me.
00:42:21Madam Secretary, you're not just talking to me.
00:42:24You're talking to Wall Street.
00:42:26Maybe you're not afraid of me.
00:42:28But what about Jonathan?
00:42:30The four families have plenty of ways to turn his quiet life into hell.
00:42:34You can protect him for a day.
00:42:37Can you protect him for life?
00:42:39Lay one finger on him, and I'll kill you right here!
00:42:43You don't have the guts!
00:42:44Madam Secretary, kill me, and by sunrise Wall Street goes feral.
00:42:48You're a politician.
00:42:49Your job is to do the math, so do it.
00:42:52What's worth more?
00:42:53My life or the entire economy?
00:42:55Swear you'll leave Kent alone.
00:42:57Then get out.
00:43:05The boss has been out for two days.
00:43:15No word from him?
00:43:19Where is Russell?
00:43:21He was supposed to pick him up.
00:43:24Should I call Russell?
00:43:31Have you forgotten what the boss told us before he went inside?
00:43:38From this day on, the four families have nothing to do with Jonathan Kent.
00:43:45You don't know me.
00:43:47I never met you.
00:43:49Any business with Russell Webb is your own call.
00:43:52Keep your names buried.
00:43:59Back then, he was protecting us, Russell too.
00:44:04Nineteen years.
00:44:05Does that order still stand?
00:44:07He's out now.
00:44:09Should we go see him?
00:44:10Call Russell first.
00:44:12He'll know where the boss is.
00:44:19Johnson Rockefeller speaking.
00:44:21Mr. Rockefeller, Russell Webb, I need all four families to move.
00:44:24Now.
00:44:25Hit the market.
00:44:26Put pressure on the president.
00:44:38Johnson said yes.
00:44:40At tomorrow's opening bell, the four Wall Street dynasties move together.
00:44:47Stocks, bonds, currencies, everything crashes at once.
00:44:54Son, you know what that means?
00:44:57It means the president calls us first.
00:45:05Bigger than that.
00:45:07By tomorrow morning, 300 million people wake up broke.
00:45:13Their pensions gone.
00:45:15Their stocks worthless.
00:45:18Banks taking their homes.
00:45:21Bankrupt people in the streets.
00:45:23Bodies on the pavement.
00:45:25Then the president, Congress, the whole country.
00:45:34They'll all be on their knees, begging me to fix it.
00:45:40And then?
00:45:41Then what?
00:45:42Then I stop being a rear admiral.
00:45:45I become Secretary of Defense.
00:45:48No!
00:45:48President!
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.
00:46:02Hell yeah!
00:46:03This is incredible!
00:46:04Let that old Bisterd and his useless son die!
00:46:07Die! Die!
00:46:09Death isn't enough.
00:46:11I'll make them rot in history.
00:46:15Tomorrow, on national TV,
00:46:17Jonathan Kent will confess that he and his son
00:46:21are both deserters.
00:46:23Hmm.
00:46:45Dad?
00:46:49Bran, you'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.
00:47:06A 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 in my life worth a damn.
00:47:24Traitor, confession, none of it matters.
00:47:29Let them say what they want.
00:47:31You're my son.
00:47:32Always.
00:47:34Dad, I missed you.
00:47:35For 19 years, I thought about you every day.
00:47:39When they beat me, I called for you.
00:47:42But you weren't there.
00:47:44I'm here.
00:47:45I'm not going anywhere.
00:47:48I'm not going anywhere.
00:47:48Not ever again.
00:47:59An unprecedented financial crisis is unfolding.
00:48:02Just 15 minutes after the opening bell.
00:48:03The Dow is down more than 20,000 points.
00:48:07The S&P has triggered a level one market halt.
00:48:10People of this country, do you know who caused this disaster?
00:48:13Jonathan Kent, a trader.
00:48:15He conspired with foreign powers and sold out this country.
00:48:19He must go on national television and confess his crimes.
00:48:22Until he does, this crisis will not end.
00:48:25Until he does, this crisis will not end.
00:48:29Jonathan Kent and Brandon Kent betrayed this country.
00:48:33They deserted in combat.
00:48:35Father and son, both deserters.
00:48:41Dad, what are you doing?
00:48:43I'm taking back what I gave that bastard 19 years ago.
00:48:55People of this country, hear me.
00:48:58As long as I'm standing, no traitor walks free.
00:49:09Russell Webb, I spared your life last night at Blackfire Island.
00:49:15You swore you'd leave Jonathan alone.
00:49:18What the hell are you doing now?
00:49:22You should have killed me.
00:49:27Last night.
00:49:31Russell, you called the four families and had them crash the market.
00:49:35300 million people lost their savings overnight.
00:49:39So tell me, who's the trader now?
00:49:42Where's your proof?
00:49:44Madam Secretary, you expect the whole country to take your word for it?
00:49:47You!
00:49:49Madam Secretary, the market is collapsing, people are dying, and the whole country is watching.
00:49:54You want it to stop?
00:49:55Get on your knees and beg me.
00:49:58Don't kneel, and the market keeps falling.
00:50:01It won't stop until everyone burns with it.
00:50:05Dad, that's cold.
00:50:07She's the Secretary of State, the most powerful one ever.
00:50:10The most powerful one ever?
00:50:11Then let the most powerful Secretary in history kneel to me!
00:50:28Dad, look at her.
00:50:29She actually knelt.
00:50:32This is fucking perfect.
00:50:34Did you see that?
00:50:35Did the whole country see that?
00:50:37The Secretary of State just knelt to me!
00:50:41Madam Secretary, that was a good start.
00:50:44But I'm not done.
00:50:45I want one more person on his knees.
00:50:49Jonathan Kent!
00:50:50You hear me?
00:50:51Your woman already knelt for you.
00:50:53Now it's your turn.
00:50:55Come face the country.
00:50:56Admit you're a traitor.
00:50:57Admit your son is a deserter or else.
00:51:00Those numbers are your crime!
00:51:02Or else what?
00:51:06Well, well.
00:51:07The four-star general finally shows up.
00:51:09You wanted the whole country to see a traitor.
00:51:12Good.
00:51:12Let them watch.
00:51:13Today they'll see which one of us sold out this country.
00:51:20You're asking me who sold out this country?
00:51:23Dad, he did time.
00:51:24And it fried his brain.
00:51:26He still thinks he's a four-star general.
00:51:28Now he's here trying to interrogate you?
00:51:31I'm dying.
00:51:34Boss, you're out of cards.
00:51:38Ah!
00:51:39My hand!
00:51:40Dad!
00:51:41You old bastard!
00:51:42You touched my father!
00:51:44Security!
00:51:44Take him down!
00:51:46Mr. Rockefeller!
00:51:47Mr. Morgan!
00:51:48Mr. DuPont!
00:51:49Mr. Mello!
00:51:50You finally showed up!
00:51:54Johnson Rockefeller.
00:51:55Thirteenth generation head of the Rockefeller family of Wall Street.
00:51:58I am General Kent's card.
00:52:01Edward Morgan.
00:52:02Ninth generation head of the Morgan family of Wall Street.
00:52:04I am General Kent's card.
00:52:06Charles DuPont.
00:52:07Seventh generation head of the DuPont family of Wall Street.
00:52:10I am General Kent's card.
00:52:13William Mellon.
00:52:13Fifth generation head of the Mello family of Wall Street.
00:52:16I am General Kent's card.
00:52:18No!
00:52:18This is bullshit!
00:52:19What are you doing?
00:52:20You were on my side.
00:52:22We've been allies for 19 years.
00:52:24How could you-
00:52:25Allies, we worked with you for one reason.
00:52:27General Kent ordered it 19 years ago.
00:52:29That's all.
00:52:31Dad, what does that mean?
00:52:33What is he saying?
00:52:36Russell, everything you have, every deal, every promotion, every star on your chest, I gave
00:52:42you all of it.
00:52:44And now, I'm taking it back.
00:52:46Johnson.
00:52:47$30 billion by the market.
00:52:53Edward Morgan family.
00:52:55$30 billion by the market.
00:52:57Charles DuPont family.
00:52:59$30 billion by the market.
00:53:01William Mellon family.
00:53:04$30 billion by the market.
00:53:08It's over.
00:53:12My turn.
00:53:14What cards do you have left?
00:53:22Why?
00:53:24How is this possible?
00:53:27They-
00:53:27How the hell are they yours?
00:53:2919 years.
00:53:30We were allies for 19 years.
00:53:33We moved markets together.
00:53:34We controlled the arms routes together.
00:53:37Why would they help you?
00:53:39It's fake, Dad.
00:53:40It has to be.
00:53:40They're actors.
00:53:42The old bastard paid them off.
00:53:44No way the four Wall Street dynasties take orders
00:53:46to some washed-up ex-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, who vouched for you on Capitol Hill
00:54:08and got you into naval intelligence?
00:54:10Jonathan Kent, who carried you out of a pile of bodies in the desert
00:54:14and kept you alive with his own blood.
00:54:16Jonathan Kent, he treated you like a brother.
00:54:19He took a nobody and made him a rear ardral.
00:54:23The four families threw you bones and plenty of meat
00:54:26only because he told us to.
00:54:28And what did you do?
00:54:30For your own ambition, you betrayed the only man who ever gave a damn about you.
00:54:34How many innocent people died because of you?
00:54:36We were blind for 19 years, backing a piece of filth like you.
00:54:42Boss, I 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, you still haven't answered me.
00:54:52Tell me, what cards do you have left?
00:54:55You're out of cards.
00:54:57Because of you, countless families are broken.
00:55:00People lost everything.
00:55:01Some were driven to take their own lives.
00:55:03Those lives, those futures, were destroyed.
00:55:12You and your bastard son will pay for every bit of it.
00:55:17No!
00:55:18Boss, you can't do this to me!
00:55:20God, I was wrong.
00:55:21Please, just one more chance.
00:55:22I swear I'll never do it again.
00:55:24If regret could save men like you, hell wouldn't exist.
00:55:27You're both scum.
00:55:29You and that son of Yun have poison in your blood.
00:55:33Cold-blooded bastards like you belong in hell.
00:55:37General Kent, please 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...
00:55:44Under Title 18, Section 2381,
00:55:46anyone owing allegiance to 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, handle them as traitors.
00:55:58Do it.
00:56:02No!
00:56:04Don't!
00:56:05Dad, say something!
00:56:09Jonathan, don't think this is over.
00:56:11You take me down today
00:56:13and your son is 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, open up.
00:56:26Open up.
00:56:26Open up.
00:56:27Open up.
00:56:34Who the hell are you?
00:56:41Mia!
00:56:43Get your fucking hands off 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 father of here's.
00:57:06Now.
00:57:07No tricks.
00:57:10Not calling?
00:57:12Got guts.
00:57:25Let me go, you bastard!
00:57:27Listen, you little bastard.
00:57:29Make the call
00:57:30or I'll have your little girlfriend right here.
00:57:39Get off her!
00:57:41Don't touch her!
00:57:45Then make the call.
00:57:48Call that deserter father of yours.
00:57:52Tell him to come alone.
00:57:53No soldiers.
00:57:55Just Russell and Luke.
00:57:57Or I cut her throat first.
00:58:00Then yours.
00:58:02You animals.
00:58:04Ten seconds.
00:58:05Ten.
00:58:06Nine.
00:58:08I'll call.
00:58:09I'll do it.
00:58:10Call!
00:58:13What did you say?
00:58:15What did you do to my son?
00:58:17You'll find out soon enough.
00:58:25Dad, help me!
00:58:27Five men stormed the hospital.
00:58:28They're armed.
00:58:30They've got Mia.
00:58:31Dad, please save us!
00:58:42Well, boss?
00:58:44See who's winning now?
00:58:50You old bastard!
00:58:52Let us go or your son dies!
00:58:55That pretty little nurse dies too.
00:58:58Feel hard.
00:59:01You animals!
00:59:03Listen carefully.
00:59:05Bring Russell Webb and his idiot son.
00:59:07You give me them,
00:59:09I give you your boy and his little girlfriend.
00:59:11Simple.
00:59:13And don't alert anyone.
00:59:15You do.
00:59:16I put them both in the ground.
00:59:17I keep my word.
00:59:24John, don't go.
00:59:25It's a trap.
00:59:26If you walk in alone with them,
00:59:27they'll kill you.
00:59:28Kate, I know it's a trap.
00:59:30But my son is the bait.
00:59:32Then let me send in troops.
00:59:34No, I'm going alone.
00:59:44Still playing the devoted father, huh?
00:59:46Don't worry.
00:59:48I'll make sure you see your son
00:59:50and his little girlfriend.
01:00:10Give me the address.
01:00:12You kept your word, General Kent.
01:00:14Old Refinery 7.
01:00:16Come alone.
01:00:17No tricks.
01:00:18You know what happens
01:00:19if you try anything.
01:00:20You know what happens if you try anything.
01:00:47He's clean.
01:00:48No weapons.
01:01:08Dad, don't come closer.
01:01:24General Kent, you 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 you'll keep your word?
01:01:52You don't have a choice, General Kent.
01:01:57That's right, old bastard.
01:01:59Let us go or your son gets his head blown off.
01:02:02Do it, boss.
01:02:04Volkov's got a temper.
01:02:05Don't test him.
01:02:34You don't have a choice.
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.
