00:00:1119 years and it's still the same sun.
00:00:34General, 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.
00:01:27This 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 Webber 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.
00:02:12And this is your formal appointment order, personally signed by the President.
00:02:17He 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.
00:02:24This country needs you!
00:02:26General, please return to the Pentagon!
00:02:29General, please return to the Pentagon!
00:02:31General, please return to the Pentagon!
00:02:34General, please return to the Pentequan!
00:02:36General, why?
00:02:37You earned this!
00:02:38It's been 19 years, they owe you, this country owes you!
00:02:42Russell, 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, he's not gonna make it!
00:03:18I'm still hurting him, they won't stop!
00:03:27They beat you again?
00:03:30It was not a beating, it 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, I believe her.
00:03:49I believe you.
00:03:56If you don't let that arm heal,
00:03:57you 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.
00:04:04I think I am.
00:04:05I think I am.
00:04:11I think I am.
00:04:19I think I am.
00:04:31Pinned 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.
00:04:45And now look at you.
00:04:48And now look at you.
00:05:09I'm fighting you.
00:05:12Hold him down!
00:05:14Let him go!
00:05:16Let him go!
00:05:17Let 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!
00:05:43Your 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!
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.
00:06:11You can't protect anyone.
00:06:14Not your family.
00:06:15Not her.
00:06:16No 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!
00:06:42A 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...
00:07:01Something happens...
00:07:02To who?
00:07:03Which one of you saw Bran get beaten?
00:07:05Sir, sir, we 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.
00:07:31No 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, a 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!
00:08:12Music
00:08:26Ciaow time!
00:08:32Music
00:08:33Music
00:08:47BORN FROM A COWARD, BORN TO FEED THE DOG!
00:08:56A COWARD SON IS STILL A COWARD, YOUR FATHER WAS YOUR COWARD, BORN FROM A COWARD, BORN A COWARD,
00:09:01THAT'S ALL YOU'LL EVER BE!
00:09:02FATHER...
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!
00:09:41HANDS 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!
00:09:55HA HA HA HA HA! A TRADORESS OLD DESERTER THINKS HE GETS TO LECTURE US?!
00:09:59YOU AND YOUR SON ARE THE SAME PATHETIC TRASH!
00:10:19OLD BASTARD, LET'S SEE WHAT'S FASTER, YOU OR MY BULLET!
00:10:23TAKE ONE MORE STEP IF YOU'VE GOT THE GUTS!
00:10:29DAD...
00:10:32DROP IT!
00:10:37ON YOUR KNEEES!
00:10:40DROP TIP!
00:10:43DON'T BE SCARED!
00:10:45LOOK AT THAT, SO 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 SUPPOST 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?
00:11:24Fine. But 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?
00:11:41What is he doing on Blackfire Island base?
00:11:44General, we confirmed it. Your 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?!
00:11:59That idiot! Does he have any idea who he's picked a fight with?
00:12:03Pass my order! Mobilize the entire Marine Division!
00:12:11General, you were right. If we don't get there soon, General Kent is done for. Luke has a thousand men.
00:12:16General Kent is alone. Screw that!
00:12:17The one who's done is my idiot son. If anything happens to General Kent or his son, no one in
00:12:23this country can survive his wrath!
00:12:29The classic red wire, blue wire game. One pair of cutters, two minutes. Choose. Cut the wire on your girl,
00:12:38your dad dies. Cut the wire on your dad, your girl dies.
00:12:45Brandon!
00:12:46Brandon, don't listen to him! Cut your dad's wire! He's insane!
00:12:51Shut up!
00:12:55The countdown starts now. If you don't choose, all three of you die.
00:13:02Didn't you say your dad's a hero? Then let the hero die for your future wife. The red one's tied
00:13:08to your dad. Easy choice.
00:13:10Brandon, I made peace with death a long time ago. Cut mine.
00:13:20Fuck you! I'm not choosing!
00:13:23Run!
00:13:37Brandon!
00:13:43Brandon!
00:13:49He needs emergency treatment now! If 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? No? Then crawl back and kneel.
00:14:12If my son dies, no one on Blackfire Island Base and the Marine Corps of the Defense Department will be
00:14:17able to protect you.
00:14:19Not even your father.
00:14:21My father? Do you even know who my father is? Russell Webb, the Navy Rear Army in command of Blackfire
00:14:27Island Base? I can do whatever the hell I want!
00:14:33What the fuck is that?
00:14:36What the fuck is that?
00:14:36BIRDS BIRDS BIRDS BIRDS BIRDS BIRDS
00:15:07What the fuck?
00:15:27Dad! Dad, I'm right here!
00:15:34Dad, what the hell is this?
00:15:35Look at them!
00:15:36They've got me targeted! They're aiming at the wrong guy!
00:15:39Medic! Where'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. I'm here. I'm not going anywhere.
00:16:25Dad, I told them you were a hero.
00:16:29I said it ten thousand times, but they still beat me.
00:16:33You protected them, so why would they do this to me? Why?
00:16:36I'm here, he's in critical condition. I'm here, too.
00:16:45I'm here, too.
00:16:53I'm here, too.
00:16:55No!
00:16:57No!
00:17:01No!
00:17:05No!
00:17:16Damn, he's dead?
00:17:17I 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. This old man was on his knees
00:17:22begging 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,
00:17:41maybe I'll let you take your son's body.
00:17:58You dare hit my dad!
00:17:59You dare hit my dad!
00:18:05Navy Rear Arginal Russell Webb. Awaiting order.
00:18:14Awaiting orders!
00:18:15Awaiting 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,
00:18:40and 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
00:18:55for three days with no ammo.
00:18:57He cut a path through enemy fire alone
00:19:00with a machine gun.
00:19:01Without him, I'd have been dead and buried
00:19:03thirty years ago.
00:19:04Without him, our flag would have been buried
00:19:06in the sand out there.
00:19:07Without him, you wouldn't even exist!
00:19:09You're not even worthy of kneeling before him,
00:19:11let alone making him kneel to you!
00:19:13And you thought you had the right to do that?!
00:19:15No, but...
00:19:17Isn'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
00:19:24and hours too!
00:19:29While you were eating, drinking,
00:19:31and playing at the academy,
00:19:32he was rotting in a cell,
00:19:34taking 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 thirty years ago.
00:19:55Without me, you'd already be dead.
00:19:59Yes, sir.
00:20:04Nineteen years ago, if I hadn't covered for you,
00:20:06you'd be dead again.
00:20:10Yes, sir.
00:20:16You don't have to repay me with your life.
00:20:20But today,
00:20:21his life pays for my son's.
00:20:24Any 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!
00:21:16General...
00:21:18Do you really have to kill him?
00:21:20Yes!
00:21:24Yes!
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 nineteen 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 nineteen 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,
00:22:27while mine got to play king on Blackfire Island base.
00:22:31You couldn't stand above me anymore.
00:22:33And 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 of Defense,
00:22:50you 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.
00:23:10Once 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?
00:23:52Dad 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.
00:24:54Madam Secretary, the signal came from Blackfire Island Base, relay station FT0791.
00:24:59Get me the Pentagon.
00:25:04Madam Secretary, it's three in the morning.
00:25:06I said, get me the Pentagon!
00:25:10I 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.
00:25:30No one in, no one out.
00:25:31Authorization code BLAIR771. Now.
00:25:34Then notifies every active and retired officer who ever served under General Jonathan Kent their commander is on Blackfire Island
00:25:39with a gun to his head.
00:25:40Are they going to save him or not?
00:25:41Sound the war alert!
00:25:43Sound the war alert! Put 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.
00:26:49Speak.
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.
00:27:06Command the whole military?
00:27:08For a rear admiral, you've got one hell of an appetite.
00:27:11Ha ha ha ha!
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.
00:27:26You'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!
00:27:42Save him? My 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.
00:28:03Admit you betrayed this country.
00:28:05Sign it.
00:28:06And your son lives.
00:28:08Russell, 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, you're the traitor on record.
00:28:17And me?
00:28:19I take down scum like you and walk straight into the Secretary of Depress job.
00:28:46You old bastard!
00:28:48You spit on my dad!
00:28:49You spit on my dad!
00:28:50You spit on my dad!
00:28:53You 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!
00:29:08Run!
00:29:13Still won't sign, old man?
00:29:15You're tough.
00:29:16Let's see if your son is.
00:29:17Dad!
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...
00:29:55sign.
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.
00:30:21Treated like a dog.
00:30:24What kind of life did you have?
00:30:2719 years is nothing compared to what I owe you.
00:30:31Son,
00:30:33as long as you live,
00:30:34I'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!
00:30:56Traitor.
00:30:57Hero.
00:30:57Those 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!
00:31:23Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
00:31:27Well, well.
00:31:29Jonathan Kent,
00:31:30four-star general.
00:31:31Hero of the Gulf War.
00:31:33And now,
00:31:34a 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,
00:32:41can't live with the shame,
00:32:42then blows his brains out.
00:32:43I've already written tomorrow's headline.
00:32:46National disgrace Jonathan after confessing.
00:32:48After that,
00:32:49you'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!
00:33:14The Secretary of State!
00:33:15Youngest ever!
00:33:16Most powerful ever!
00:33:17She runs the State Department,
00:33:19has Congress in her pocket,
00:33:20and 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,
00:33:29I'm the future president's son-in-law.
00:33:30My dad becomes Secretary of Defense,
00:33:33and this whole country?
00:33:35We run it.
00:33:36You're a washed-up old man,
00:33:38fresh 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,
00:33:48you couldn't lay a finger on me.
00:33:52Goodbye, boss.
00:33:56Dad!

00:35:02Radars 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!

00:35:37General!

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.
00:47:33Dad, 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.
00:47:46I'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.
00:48:04The 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.
00:48:14A 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.
00:48:23Until 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?
00:48:44I'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 trader walks free.
00:49:09Russell Webb, I spared your life last night at Blackfire Island.
00:49:16You 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?
00:49:43Where'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?
00:50:12Then 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?
00:50:38The Secretary of State just knelt to me!
00:50:41Madam Secretary, that was a good start.
00:50:44But I'm not done.
00:50:46I 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.
00:50:58Admit 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!
00:51:43Security!
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, 13th generation head of the Rockefeller family of Wall Street.
00:51:58I am General Kent's card.
00:52:01Edward Morgan, 9th generation head of the Morgan family of Wall Street.
00:52:04I am General Kent's card.
00:52:06Charles Dupont, 7th generation head of the DuPont family of Wall Street.
00:52:10I am General Kent's card.
00:52:12William Mellon, 5th 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,
00:52:41I gave you all of it.
00:52:44And now, I'm taking it back.
00:52:46Johnson.
00:52:4730 billion!
00:52:49By the market!
00:52:53Edward.
00:52:54Morgan family.
00:52:5530 billion!

00:52:57Charles.
00:52:58DuPont family.

00:53:01William.
00:53:02Melon family!
00:53:0430 billion!
00:53:05By 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.
00:53:41They're actors!
00:53:42The old bastard paid them off!
00:53:44No way the four Wall Street dynasties take orders to 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 and got you into naval intelligence?
00:54:10Jonathan Kent, who carried you out of a pile of bodies in the desert and kept you alive with his
00:54:15own blood.
00:54:16Jonathan Kent, he treated you like a brother.
00:54:19He took a nobody and made him a rear ardull.
00:54:23The four families threw you bones and plenty of meat, only 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!
00:54:42I 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, anyone owing allegiance to this country who wages war against it or gives aid to
00:55:51its enemies is guilty of treason.
00:55:54The penalty is death.
00:55:56Kate, handle them as traitors.
00:55:58Do it.
00:56:02No!
00:56:04No!
00:56:04Don't!
00:56:04Dad, say something!
00:56:09Jonathan, don't think this is over.
00:56:11You take me down today, and 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.
00:56:24With that arm, open up.
00:56:34Who the hell are you?
00:56:41Mia!
00:56:43Get your fucking hands off her!
00:56:50Brandon Kent, the traitor's son?
00:56:54Well, well.
00:56:55Half dead, and 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, or 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.
00:57:51Tell him to come alone.
00:57:53No soldiers.
00:57:55Just Russell and Luke.
00:57:58Or 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!
00:58:38The boy.
00:58:42Well, boss.
00:58:43See who's winning now.
00:58:50You old bastard!
00:58:52Let us go or your son dies!
00:58:54Nice! That pretty little nurse dies, too.
00:58:58It'll be real hard.
00:59:01You animals!
00:59:03Listen carefully.
00:59:05Bring Russell Webb and his idiot son.
00:59:07You give me them, I give you your boy and his little girlfriend.
00:59:11Simple.
00:59:13And don't alert anyone. You do.
00:59:16I put them both in the ground.
00:59:18I keep my word.
00:59:24John, don't go. It's a trap. If you walk in alone with them, they'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.
00:59:49I'll make sure you see your son and his little girlfriend.
01:00:10Give me the address.
01:00:12You kept your word, General Kent.
01:00:14Hold Refinery 7.
01:00:16Come alone.
01:00:17No tricks.
01:00:18You know what happens if you try anything.
01:00:47He's clean.
01:00:48No weapons.
01:00:49He's clean.
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 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.
01:02:07Go, go, go.
01:02:08Oh, yeah, yeah.
01:02:15Take the string.
01:02:29Wait.
01:02:30Wait.
01:02:39I 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.
