[ Speaking Dari ]
Keep your eyes open.
Watch the roof.
[ Dramatic music plays ]
Boys, watch your 6:00.
Right.
Keep your eyes open.
Well, Obama called it.
Should have detoured this place.
[ Speaking Dari ]
Come on, pretty boy.
Couple more hours,
we'll be out of here.
Moving forward, sir.
JAKE: [ Speaks Dari ]
motherfucker.
[ Speaks Dari ]
[ Speaking Dari ]
[ Speaks Dari ]
MAN: Jake, watch him.
He's got an IED.
He hasn't primed it.
Jake, it's protocol, man.
[ Speaks Dari ] motherfucker.
-In position.
-Watch him.
You got 3 seconds.
-3...
-MAN: Jake.
...2...
MAN: Watch him!
Take the shot.
Damn it.
MAN: All clear.
Damn it, Jake.
What's your status, Atherton?
JAKE: Sir.
MAN #2: Keep your eyes open.
We got one dead informant.
MAN #2: Careful.
JAKE: And an emplaced IED, sir.
He was priming it for us.
It's a 9-volt battery.
Do I have permission
to cut, sir?
Don't. Just -- Just come back.
I can see it, sir.
We got to go,
whatever you're doing.
JAKE: I'm doing it.
MASON: Atherton, stop that shit.
Come back here.
-Just leave it.
-I can do this.
Atherton, bring your patrol back
right now.
-I'm cutting, sir.
-Shit.
[ Chuckles ]
And they said
it couldn't be done, eh?
-We good?
-Couldn't be done.
MAN #3: [ Speaks Dari ]
MAN: It's an ambush. Fall back.
Fall back!
Weapons hot. Fire.
Fuck!
Get out of there.
MASON: Jake, get out of there!
[ Dramatic music plays ]
Come on, now.
JAKE: Colonel!
[ Gunfire ]
Let's get the fuck out of here.
Get down.
[ Dramatic music plays ]
We got to get the fuck
out of here, huh?
[ Telephone rings ]
EARL: Hey, Jake.
[ Mid-tempo music plays ]
Tell me where
and let me know
Hear me holler when you go
Tell me where
and let me know
Hear me holler when you go
When you feel
a little better
When you're light
just like a feather now
Well, good afternoon,
Ms. Martinez.
How you doing, pretty lady?
Don't you "pretty lady" me.
My ass just walked four blocks
in this heat to get here.
I hope my car is ready.
-Your car?
-Yeah. Dnde est?
-Oh, your -- Oh, oh.
-MARTINEZ: Yeah, "oh."
-Jake's got it.
-MARTINEZ: [ Speaks Spanish ]
-Hey, Jake!
-MARTINEZ: T eres demasiado.
I'm sure he's done.
Go in and see Jake.
He'll take care.
Hm.
Jesus.
Holler I'll be kickin'
[ Speaks Spanish ]
Holler I'll be screamin'
The fuel pump, it's shot.
I have to drop the fuel tank,
replace the entire
fuel assembly.
It's gonna take me
at least two, three hours.
There's -- There's three cars
ahead of her.
I'm moving as fast as I can,
man.
Oh, Jesus.
You know what?
If the poor lady had any coin,
I'm sure she'd buy herself
a new car.
-Yeah, we all would.
-EARL: What I want you to do,
I want you to take
that beige Volvo
we got in the back over there.
I want you to slap
some new tires on it
and tell her it's a gift.
Hey, you promised that
Volvo to my son.
And he's gonna get it.
Listen, I'll tell you what,
I'll have her car ready
in 20 minutes just for you.
Good.
Hey, Dad.
How you doing, dude?
-Nice to see you.
-Hello.
Let's go see
that beautiful mom of yours.
Got Weston the Wooly Mammoth!
Body slam!
-West.
-JAKE: Suplex.
Oh, is Dad picking on you?
This little shit's been mugging
the streets, haven't you?
Hey.
Hope you guys are hungry.
-Starving.
-WESTON: I'm starving.
-JAKE: Jinx. Double jinx.
-Jinx. Double jinx.
-I think got you.
-[ Groans ]
-Go get washed up for dinner.
-Don't play with your daddy.
Hey, hey, hey.
Where's my love?
Wasn't so painful, was it?
I see he's picking favorites.
Day good?
Long.
[ Somber music plays ]
Those came today.
Shit.
We're really behind, babe.
-Yeah.
-What are we gonna do?
I don't get another check
until Friday.
Nothing lasts forever, baby.
We'll get through this.
These will if we don't
pay them off.
How are we gonna pay them?
We're not asking
your uncle again.
Well, Earl isn't exactly
in a lending mood right now.
What?
Nothing.
Hey.
We'll push through this, okay?
Like we always do.
This is making me really scared.
There's nothing
to be scared about.
Except me taking a piece
of this chicken.
-No, no, no.
-[ Laughs ]
-Dad.
-Mm-hmm?
Who were the other guys
with you again?
We got -- There's Evan,
Pete, and Will.
And you know that ugly feller
on the end, right?
Mm-hmm. Colonel Mason.
JAKE: Mason.
Saved your life.
Yeah.
So I could give you your life.
Do you still talk to him?
Not as much as I'd like to.
Hey, did you know Mason
was actually at the hospital
the day you were born
all those years ago?
Is that crazy?
You're getting tired.
It's rack time, soldier.
Alright?
-Dad?
-Yeah.
Did you ever kill anybody?
That's a heavy question.
And it's a school night.
Let's get you to bed, baby.
Come here.
Dream big, little man.
-Good night, Dad.
-Good night, son.
[ Mid-tempo music plays ]
[ Rap music playing
indistinctly ]
[ Dramatic music plays ]
Earl!
Can I help you gentlemen?
[ Speaks Spanish ]
What seems to be
the problem, gentlemen?
Well, you know what
the problem is?
You need to tell your grandpa
that he needs to get with
the fucking program.
Okay. And what's --
what's the --
Dnde est mi dinero?
Every month, this much.
You must have come
to the wrong place,
'cause we got no money.
Well, then I'm gonna
take something.
Any suggestions?
Just keep walking, man.
Hey, don't turn
your fucking back on me.
[ Speaks Spanish ]
Get you, white boy.
Oh, you're fast.
My bullet's faster.
Round 1.
Round 2.
I'mma see you soon.
Let's go. Get the fuck up.
Come on. Vamos.
[ Man speaks Spanish ]
Fucked up my knee, man.
JAKE: Earl!
Look, I don't know
what that was all about.
Remember what you told me
first time I broke my wrist?
Got my fucking ass handed to me.
Remember what you said?
That you learn more
from your beat downs
than you do from your wins.
Let me do this. Let me --
Let me give you --
Let me give it to you straight,
alright?
I ain't got no beef
with the gang bangers.
I mean, you know,
they're doing what they do.
I mean, it's part
of their culture in a way.
I have a family to protect, man.
I have you to protect.
And that's a war
that's never gonna end.
You know, I had another life
before the shop here.
A life that I was fortunate
enough to walk away from.
I used to be in the...
...in the money business.
Other people's.
That's how I got the money
to put this together.
I got a second chance
and the business started
and I grew to really
find something
that I never had
in my whole life.
-A home.
-A home?
And I love the people
in this neighborhood.
I mean, ain't nobody got shit,
you know?
Nobody -- Ain't no
rich people around here.
You know, everybody's the same.
I mean, I know everybody.
I know everybody
who grew up here.
I know kids who grew up here
who got kids.
I mean, I know --
I know everybody
who's died on this block.
Hey, man, this is my house, too.
There's no place that makes me
feel more comfortable
than right here.
Fuckin' dust
underneath the nails,
you shouting in my fucking ear
24/7.
Home. Yeah.
Listen, I know these guys
that are banging, you know,
they don't want to do the shit
jobs that are out there,
you know, for no money at all,
breaking their ass.
I mean, I wouldn't want to
do it, but I did it, you know?
I know, man.
I just worry about you.
'Cause they will be back.
They will be back.
Let them go to
fucking Beverly Hills
and shake those motherfuckers
down, you know?
But not on this block.
This fucking block is my home.
This is my house.
And ain't nobody gonna come in
and shake me or anybody else
down on this block.
It's just a war
that's never gonna end,
plain and simple.
I've learned a little something
too.
Gonna get to work.
How is he?
Well, they threatened him.
But you know
how hardheaded he is.
Can't tell him fucking anything.
Am I on speaker, baby?
-Yeah.
-JAKE: Is West there?
-Yeah.
-JAKE: Put him on.
-Hey, West.
-Hi, Dad.
Hey, Weston.
How's it going, buddy?
Listen, Uncle Earl, man,
he's gonna be just fine.
He's gonna bounce back
like he always does.
I'll see you tonight
for some ice cream, alright?
-Okay, Dad.
-JAKE: Man, I love you.
Look, I'm glad. I am.
But you know as well as I do
why I'm worried right now.
Ash, he needed my help.
I wasn't gonna just
stand there and do nothing.
You could have called the cops.
Yeah. Yeah.
Listen, I got to get back
to work, baby.
I'll see you tonight, alright?
Alright.
I love you.
Yeah, I love you too.
I'll bring home some dessert.
Alright.
[ Dramatic music plays ]
[ Tires squeal, engine revs ]
Hola, vigo. [ Laughs ]
Hey, payback's a bitch.
Have a nice day.
[ Dramatic music plays ]
Ash!
West!
Ash!
[ Gasping ]
[ Screams ]
[ Crying ]
I understand
you're going through
a very traumatic time right now.
And I totally understand
what's happening.
If there's anything
you can tell us
to help track this guy down,
I'd appreciate it.
Do you know
why he would do this?
Do you know who he is?
Have you seen him before?
Look, we're gonna --
we're gonna do every--
Hey, Mr. Atherton.
-Jake!
[ Engine starts ]
Jake!
Where's he going?
Where's he going?
Hey, what --
what are you drinking?
Decaf? Get on him.
This is a crime scene.
He just can't leave.
You just stand there too?
Go, let's go, go.
What the fuck?
[ Dramatic music plays ]
ASHTON: Get out of here!
Get out of here!
I got this message
that I got to send
I ain't too comfortable,
never content
I've been repenting
for all of my sins
I need a vision,
I need a vision
I got this message
that I got to send
Never too comfortable,
never content
I've been repenting
for all of my sins
I need a vision,
I need a vision
I got a message
that I got to send
Never too comfortable,
never content
I've been repenting
for all of my sins
I need a vision,
I need a vision
I got a message
that I got to send
Never too comfortable,
never content
I've been repenting
for all of my sins
I got a vision,
I need a vision
[ Dramatic music plays ]
Yo, yo, yo.
Take it easy!
Yo. Look, look, I didn't mean
to kill your wife.
I didn't want to hurt your boy.
I had to.
You don't understand, man.
I fucking had to.
[ Gunshot ]
Oh, shit, man.
Go ahead, man. Do me. Fuck you.
[ Indistinct conversations ]
[ Dramatic music plays ]
[ Buzzer ]
GUARD: 5 minutes.
How you doing, Jake?
They treating you well in here?
All things considered?
You got everything you need?
Is there anything you need?
Living the life.
Right.
Well, look, um, I'm trying
to find an attorney
to reopen your case.
I'm working on that.
Yeah, don't bother.
I'm where I belong.
MASON: Okay.
I'm really sorry for what
they did to your family.
[ Sighs ]
I wish I could tell you
the pain goes away.
Well, it doesn't.
But it gets better with time,
Jake.
You can't see that now,
but you will.
Eventually.
What do you want me to say?
Well, you can say anything
you want, Jake.
Anything.
Well, I'll tell you
what I told the judge.
That the two people
I love most are gone.
Dead. Butchered.
'Cause of some sack of shit
who should have already been
behind these walls.
But I got my revenge,
and I have zero remorse.
'Cause I'd do it again
in a fucking heartbeat.
No man should have to go through
what you've been through, Jake.
Then do me a favor.
Don't come back.
Let sleeping dogs lie.
Guard.
GUARD: This way.
[ Buzzer ]
[ Somber music plays ]
JAKE: Friggin' year, I think.
MASON: The same.
I owe you my life, sir.
You don't owe me anything, Jake.
Forget about that.
It's part of the past, and
we're not going that way now.
You, of all people, retiring,
you just don't seem like
the rocking chair type.
Well, we'll see how it goes.
Maybe I'll be surprised
at what kind of back swing
a one-legged golfer has.
-Yeah, maybe.
-Yeah.
Look, you're a great soldier,
Jake.
One of the best I've ever known.
Don't forget that.
Thank you.
But right now, I just
want to put that guy to bed.
Go see the wife and kid.
I get it.
Alright.
Take care of yourself.
You too, sir.
-Come see me some time.
-I will.
MASON: Alright.
Let's go, guys.
[ Somber music plays ]
GUARD: Atherton,
you got another visitor.
Cuffs off, please.
Thanks, Ed.
You and Nancy
enjoy the game this weekend.
Why so glum?
Oh, is it that
whole prison thing?
Yeah, that -- that could really
get to just about anybody.
You don't belong in here.
You know it. I know it.
You know that, huh?
And who are you?
I'm the best thing
that's ever happened to you.
You can call me Ramsey.
It's like this.
I run a small,
private task force --
Listen, I'm gonna
stop you right there.
I don't give two shits
what you want.
I had my dose of dickheads
for the day.
-Mr. Atherton --
-Guard.
Take me back to my cell.
[ Buzzer ]
[ Somber music plays ]
[ Dramatic music plays ]
MAN: Get up.
RAMSEY: Hello again,
Mr. Atherton.
How's your head?
[ Panting ]
Stay hydrated.
I highly suggest you take it.
You're gonna feel
very much not yourself.
You CIA?
No, we don't publicize ourselves
the way they do.
I'll spare you the details,
but let's just say there aren't
a whole lot of people
that know about our existence.
Naturally.
You see, Mr. Atherton,
I've been watching you
for a long time now.
Studied your case very closely.
Special Forces,
honorably discharged.
You brought home a little case
of stress disorder,
but nothing that 20 milligrams
of venlafexine couldn't fix.
Turned into
quite the family man.
But then one day,
a couple of dirtbags came in
and murdered both of them,
turned your whole world
upside-down.
And so you took them both out
single-handedly.
Very impressive, by the way.
Courts didn't see it that way.
-The courts are an institution.
-Social construct.
Like this prison you're in now.
We don't play by
the same rules they do.
No one can blame you
for doing what you did.
A temporary lapse in judgment
brought on by
severe traumatic stress.
And I'm spending
the rest of my life in prison
because of it.
Do you really buy that?
You think killing
a guy like Fresh
means you got to spend the rest
of your life behind bars,
caged up like an animal
looking over your shoulder
every time
you've got to take a piss?
The true tragedy
is that they ever even put you
in that cage
instead of giving you
a goddamn shiny medal.
I can see you're still grieving.
I totally understand.
It doesn't mean
your life is over.
You can still have a purpose.
You can live your life again.
I can give you that.
Look at it this way.
If your son Weston
were still here
and he were standing here
in front of you now,
what would he want you to do?
Live your life like a convict?
Or like the hero
he knew you were?
[ Dramatic music plays ]
JAKE: You want to tell me
where we're at?
MUELLER: Section Eight.
Home away from home.
JAKE: Mm. Let's hope not.
MUELLER: I'm sure you'll find
a way to make yourself useful.
How was your flight,
Mr. Atherton?
I'm here.
Forgive my formal attire,
but I'm going out later.
And I wanted to meet you here
to show you the place
that nobody talks about.
I know you remember Elias,
Ajax, and Brunner,
but I see
you've met Mueller now, too.
Yeah. So what is this place?
This is the Batcave,
Mr. Atherton.
Welcome to Section Eight.
How you doing?
You've heard of secret
government agencies, right?
Mm-hmm.
This is it.
It's us.
16 operatives at all times,
eight here in Washington,
eight elsewhere in the world.
We take our orders from the
State Department and the NSA.
Most of the agents we recruit
are men and women like you
who have a special set of skills
but may have been deemed
a danger for whatever reason.
Basically,
no one's gonna miss us
if we just happen
to disappear, right?
RAMSEY: We've been sanctioned
to eliminate any threats
anywhere in the world.
We deflect and contain
certain situations
that present a threat
to our national security.
Okay.
Ms. Mueller here will be
what we call your watcher.
She's accessible to you
24 hours a day
and will accompany you
on any and all assignments
as you gain seniority.
Seniority?
Trust, Mr. Atherton.
You'll be given a bank account,
an apartment in the city,
a vehicle.
We'll provide you
with a backstory
and an alias
for the outside world.
But for all intents
and purposes...
You're already dead.
What about them?
Intelligence operatives.
All of our equipment,
top of the line,
military prototypes.
Now, I wish I had more time
and could show you around,
give you the whole tour,
but I'm afraid
my engagement is pressing.
Make sure that he gets geared up
so he can get right to work.
But first, my team here
will be putting you through
the initiation process.
It's a dead man's party.
-Dead man.
-Let's go. Let's do it.
Come on,
let's get you settled in.
-Can't wait.
-Let's go.
AJAX: Let me show you
a little something, hm?
Right there.
Come on.
You think the world is gonna
wait for you to decide to fight?
I'm not gonna fight you.
-This is the big leagues.
-Listen to me.
You're gonna fight!
Fuck you. Fuck off.
MAN: Fuck that little bitch.
[ Dramatic music plays ]
Clean him up, Ajax.
-Little bitch.
-Come on.
-You're a tough guy.
-You ready for this?
Are you happy?
Get him, Ajax.
Show him who's boss.
ASHTON: Jake.
[ Calm music plays ]
WESTON: Dad?
I'll see myself out.
Fucking...
Come here. Help me the fuck up.
That's fear.
He doesn't belong here, guys.
None of us belonged
when we first got here.
Plus, he wasn't that afraid
when he got started with you.
I see the way you look
at him, little girl.
I didn't look at him any way,
so don't start pointing fingers
at me when he kicked your ass.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Mnh-mnh. Mnh-mnh.
No. No, fuck that.
No, fuck that shit.
[ Dramatic music plays ]
MUELLER: Your target is
Alejandro Castillo.
He's a defense contractor,
made his wealth
by selling our weapons
to the highest bidder
in the black market.
He recently came across
some schematics
the DOJ desperately
wants recovered.
They believe it's his intention
to share these schematics
with one of his Russian friends.
Yeah, Russia.
Fan-fucking-tastic.
The deal's going down in Mexico,
and he will have several
of his armed guards at hand,
as he almost always does.
So it'll be hard to get to him.
When or if we get
the schematics in hand,
what are we supposed
to do with Castillo?
All POIs are to be eliminated.
Ramsey left that out
of the job description.
So we're assassins, huh?
We're whatever
we're ordered to be.
JAKE: What do you see?
MUELLER: 9, maybe 10 guards.
Shit.
Go. You've got to get Castillo.
Are you not coming?
That's why you got your
get-out-of-jail-free card, Jake,
not me.
Your freedom lies on
the success of this mission.
How could I forget?
[ Dramatic music plays ]
[ Laughter ]
Ah, Papi will be right back.
-Don't go anywhere, guys.
-Don't take too long.
Mwah!
Johnny!
Come here.
Come, come.
Ahh.
Castillo.
They say you really know
how to impress your guests.
Hello.
Look around, my friend.
Huh?
You know, people take one look
at this place
and you know
what they all think about?
They think about
the old, the filthy,
buried dreams.
You know what I think about,
Johnny?
I think about opportunity.
I think about a chance
for the new.
I think about the future.
You know what I think?
This...
This is a fucking landfill.
[ Laughs ]
[ Speaks Spanish ]
-Cut the shit.
-Don't worry, Johnny.
Cut the fucking shit, Castillo.
Give me what I came here for.
Are you threatening me?
What is this, Castillo?
Is this a setup?
-Everybody calm down. Calm down.
-Are you fucking with me?
-Castillo, you piece of shit.
-Drop it.
[ Indistinct shouting ]
Fuck this shit!
Shoot that motherfucker!
Move your ass, Jake.
We've got to get Castillo
before they do.
JAKE: On it. Cover me.
[ Dramatic music plays ]
MAN:
Over there behind the car.
[ Whistles ]
CASTILLO: [ Groans ]
You must be the buyer.
Who the fuck are you?
You must be the seller.
Seller of what? What the fuck
are you talking about?
JAKE: I'm gonna ask you once --
The schematics.
Where are they?
Oh, man.
You too?
Fuck you.
[ Hyperventilating ]
What exactly about "eliminate
all" did you not understand?
They were innocent people,
Ramsey.
Nobody's innocent.
JAKE: Those girls were.
You got what you asked for,
right?
You compromised the integrity
of this mission
along with your own life
and Mueller's.
We're here. The job is done.
What more do you need to know?
I want the man I recruited
into this agency, Atherton.
So you want someone to basically
just disregard all human life
for you and this little
fucking club of yours, huh?
Is that what you think this is?
You think we're trading baseball
cards and decoder rings here?
Atherton,
this is serious business.
And until you understand that,
maybe it's best I just throw you
back into that jail cell.
You can do that.
But what you're not gonna do
is hold that over my head
like it's some kind of debt.
You're a man of conviction.
That's why you're here.
Now go on, get some rest.
You earned it.
What do you think?
I think he did good back there.
Maybe.
What do you want me to do?
Do your job.
Just keep an eye on him.
Look,
your golden boy screwed up.
He left witnesses, right?
There was a time when
you wouldn't let this happen.
What are you trying to say?
We all make mistakes,
including you.
Sir.
[ Line rings ]
Get me Locke.
[ Big band music plays ]
Luck ain't got nothin'
to do with it
No matter what they say
Luck ain't got nothin'
to do with it
I'll show you how to play
You watch the people
sweating at the table
Look them straight
in the eyes
When you see a moment
of doubt, you pounce
It's the element of surprise
It's an easy game if you know
how to play it
Excuse me, ladies.
Wakey, wakey.
Get up. Get out!
You, move.
Whoa-ho.
Luck ain't got nothin'
to do with it
Ramsey sent you.
That's right.
And if you know that,
then you know why I'm here
and you should know
there's nothing you can say
to make a difference.
But I got money.
See all this?
All this is yours.
We can work something out.
Just give me a number.
Two.
But I knew you wouldn't just
fall in my lap
I had to make a --
[ Elevator bell dings ]
[ Slot machines clanging ]
We've got a male suspect
heading towards the front door.
[ Dramatic music plays ]
Hey.
[ Screams ]
Hey!
-Freeze!
-Put the gun down!
[ Screaming ]
-Drop it!
-Move.
-Okay, okay, okay.
It's done.
Yeah, yeah.
Tell me something I don't know.
[ Dramatic music plays ]
Now, where did you get this?
Colonel.
Jake.
How's the leg, sir?
Yeah, it's -- it's great.
It's really great.
Couple of severed nerves,
shattered bones.
I don't think
I'll be able to play golf
the way I used to.
Severed nerves.
I'm sorry, sir.
I blame myself too.
But blaming yourself
is to easiest thing to do.
But it's not -- not always
the right thing.
Well, you saved my life, sir.
My wife and kid thank you.
Hey, we're just trying
to make the best
out of a shit situation.
Is that what it was?
Hey.
You're alright.
[ Country music plays ]
That's a lot of empty bottles.
They weren't empty
when I got them.
[ Clears throat ]
Want some company?
Someone's got to pay my tab.
Vodka straight up.
Whew, straight for
the big stuff.
I get specific.
Ramsey -- What's his story?
Who knows?
No one knows anything
about Ramsey but Ramsey.
What about you?
How did you get involved
with Section Eight?
Let's just say I had
a background in the Army.
In the Army?
My commanding officer
reprimanded me.
What did you do then?
Knocked his teeth out.
Remind me never to fuck
with you, Miss Mueller. Geez.
Mm.
What's wrong?
It's nothing.
MUELLER: Mm.
It's just...my wife drink--
drank vodka.
I'm sorry about what happened.
I'm sure it's not something
you can easily get over.
I don't think
you ever get over it.
This is the next piece
of the puzzle.
Senator Jim Graham.
He lives in a secluded estate
just outside the city.
Two objectives here.
One is to retrieve
digital information
of a case-sensitive nature.
And the other is
to eliminate the target.
We're assassinating
a state senator?
Well, don't let the job title
fool you.
This guy's a traitor
to this country.
He's paid off enough bureaucrats
to keep his sorry ass
out of jail.
Liza, I want you to go in,
get the files, and get out.
Jake, you're on bird watch.
Transpo. You'll be there
as reinforcements.
What kind of security
are we looking at?
Well, the senator's paranoid,
but he's not stupid,
and he's rich.
Private contractors,
top of the line.
If they resist,
which they will,
you resist back.
You know what to do,
right, Atherton?
-You got it, boss.
-That's right.
A black bag job.
Bag and tag, kids.
-Let's go.
-MUELLER: Let's go.
Let's go.
GRAHAM: Thank you very much.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Too kind. Too kind.
Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you very much. Thank you.
Thank you.
You know, when Barbara and I
set off for Washington,
it was with one promise --
take back America.
Take back America
from corporate greed.
Alright, guys,
you got us out here
in a fucking landscaping van.
Let's get this shit done,
alright? Let's make it happen.
MUELLER: Hold your panties,
Ajax. I'm on the move.
Birds have left the nest.
[ Dramatic music plays ]
MAN: Security breach alert.
Security breach alert.
This election
will not be stolen.
-[ Radio chatter ]
-Take back America.
MAN: Hostiles. Security breach.
Excuse me, sir, we need to
get you out of here now.
-Come with me. This way, sir.
-Please come with me.
Aw, shit, they're on to us.
They're on to us.
They made us. They made us.
Let's go. Let's go.
Liza, let's get a move on.
We got heat on us.
[ Dramatic music plays ]
Let's go. Let's get a move on.
Get him in there. Come on.
Whew.
Downloading.
20%.
What the fuck was that?
Where the fuck does this
Forrest Gump motherfucker
think he's running to?
We got to go.
Move. We got it.
Let's go. Liza, let's go.
We got some heat.
Yeah. On my way to you.
Ple-- Please.
I have a family.
I have a wife.
I have a son.
Please.
[ Gunshot ]
The hell are you doing?
You hesitated.
We don't hesitate.
It's not fucking okay.
[ Dramatic music plays ]
MUELLER: It's me.
Listen, if you want to talk
about what happened, I'm here.
[ Somber music plays ]
[ Dramatic music plays ]
Thought I'd take you up
on that golf game, sir.
Come inside, Jake.
So you're a fugitive now.
How can I help?
Section Eight --
you ever hear of them?
I know the real Section Eight
was dismantled back in the '90s.
What do you mean?
Well, I hear the agency's
still alive.
A cesspool of operatives.
Disgraced CIA, FBI, you name it.
Very well connected.
The highest levels
in Washington.
We talking the White House?
As White as it's always been.
You ever hear of a guy
named Ramsey?
No.
No, I can't say I have.
I'll make some calls.
But look, if Section Eight
is after you,
you got some serious problems,
soldier.
Yeah, I know.
Look, I hate to ask, sir,
but --
What?
I need money and a gun.
You're gonna need
more than that.
[ Dramatic music plays ]
Mr. Atherton,
why don't you just come on in
and we can talk about it?
I hear you.
Just stay calm, alright?
Come on in and we'll figure
this thing out together.
I'm sorry, Mr. Atherton.
I was really hoping
it would work out between us.
But Senator Graham,
you hesitated.
I told you, in this job,
you can't hesitate.
Make the call.
-We are tracking him.
-That's sweet.
You see, Locke isn't like
other men.
He isn't burdened by weaknesses
like remorse and guilt.
Ramsey, we will find Jake.
Oh, I'm sure you will.
It'll be interesting to see
who finds him first.
[ Chuckles ]
Better hope he doesn't
find you first.
[ Line rings ]
[ Classical music plays ]
This is Locke.
MUELLER: We need you.
Give me a name.
MUELLER: Jake Atherton,
ex-military Special Forces.
Ramsey thinks
he's become a problem.
Where can I find him?
[ Dramatic music plays ]
Sorry.
Landon.
Mr. Atherton. You remember me.
Of course I remember you, man.
You were Weston's best friend.
I really missed him.
Yeah, man, I miss him too.
LANDON: I still go by
your old house.
They boarded it up
after what happened.
My mom says
they're gonna tear down.
Look, we're all happy here
that you got Fresh
and everyone else.
Wait, how --
how do you know Fresh?
Saw him around the neighborhood
for a while,
then at this place
by the comic book shop.
He was always talking
with some people there.
Alright, Landon, listen to me.
Listen to me.
This is very important.
Can you tell me anything about
the people he was meeting with?
Who was he talking to?
I don't know.
They were just wearing
some black suits.
Black suits?
They also mostly just looked
like these people.
Right here.
[ Dramatic music plays ]
Get down.
Stay down, stay down.
[ Screaming ]
[ Sirens wailing ]
Put the gun down.
-Get on the ground!
-On the ground!
-OFFICER: Drop it!
-OFFICER #2: Freeze!
Shit.
[ Police radio chatter ]
[ Cellphone vibrates ]
He's gone. I lost him.
RAMSEY:
I thought you were the best.
No, no, no, who the fuck do you
think you're talking to?
I'll find him
and I'll finish the job.
Alright?
Have I ever let you down before?
RAMSEY: You just did.
As I get older, it gets harder
and harder to remember
Mom and Dad.
It's fuzzy, you know?
It's out of focus.
But I remember you.
You adopted me.
You had the courage to raise me.
You told me I was Superman,
and I fucking believed.
That was the biggest honor
I've ever had in my whole life.
I'd be nothing without you, man.
[ Computer beeping ]
Hey, we got company.
Grab the shotgun.
Get in the back. Now.
No goddamn retreat.
And no fucking prisoners.
[ Dramatic music plays ]
-Got you, mother--
-[ Gunshot ]
Go out back. Now.
Ajax, what the fuck?
Move out of the way.
Fuck it.
You shoot like bitch. [ Laughs ]
You just shot your own man.
Oh, no, I'm s-- I don't care!
[ Laughs ]
You out?
I think you're out.
Out?
Hold up.
I'm out. Now let's fuck.
Ever since I met you,
I've had this...
urge.
Mm-hmm. What's that?
To rip your fucking flesh off.
What are you waiting for?
Come on.
[ Dramatic music plays ]
Fuck you.
You're mine now.
How you like me now?
[ Screams ]
[ Gunshot ]
[ Panting ]
Earl!
-You alright?
[ Sirens wailing ]
Come on, Jake.
We got to get out of here.
Jake, I think you better
get your ass out of here.
I don't think they're all dead.
MUELLER: Jake.
I love you.
[ Sirens wailing ]
Why didn't you try
and kill me back there?
Because maybe I want out of
Section Eight as much as you do.
Bullshit.
MUELLER: Oh, come on.
I just put my ass
on the line for you.
I'm just having a hard time
trusting anybody right now.
When Ramsey came to visit you
in jail,
what do you think he would have
done if you refused, huh?
It's clandestine for a reason.
We can't have people
just walking on the street
or in jail knowing about it.
Where is Ramsey now?
What? Why?
Because that's
where we're going.
[ Dramatic music plays ]
You know this cabin pretty well?
Yeah.
You know, there's no coffee shop
or drive-thrus along the way.
What? What's wrong?
You should go back, Liza.
-Please.
-What? No.
You said it yourself.
This is suicide.
Jake, I'm here now.
[ Dramatic music plays ]
[ Grunts ]
WESTON: Hey, Dad.
[ Laughs ]
There's nothing
to be scared about.
RAMSEY: Welcome to Montana,
Mr. Atherton.
I wouldn't bother trying
to get out.
If there's anything
Liza does well,
it's tie men up.
Sorry, Jake.
I had to bring you here somehow.
So the committee meeting,
you just made that up?
Oh, no.
That part was actually real.
Yeah, those little
congressional bastards
should be here by nightfall,
but you might be at the bottom
of the river by then.
So why am I here?
Why haven't you killed me yet?
Well, you made it this far.
And if I did that, wouldn't that
spoil the surprise?
[ Dramatic music plays ]
Didn't see that coming, did you?
What are you doing here,
Colonel?
Well, I guess I did
know a guy named Ramsey.
[ Laughs ]
This was you?
All of this was you?
We were looking for a soldier,
Atherton.
One with a killer instinct,
one who could do the job.
My wife.
My kid, my boy. You --
My fucking family.
RAMSEY: Yeah, that one's on me.
Threw some money around to
some local shit stains and...
That's what happens
when you go cheap.
I didn't know how
you were gonna react,
but you did not disappoint.
How could you do this
to me, sir?
I gave you a second chance
at life in Afghanistan.
What'd you do with it?
Ended up fixing cars.
You had a skill.
You threw it all away.
I gave it away?
You knew what they meant to me.
I'm sorry.
You just wouldn't listen.
Now we got a decision to make.
My guests should
be arriving soon,
so we'll just leave you here
with your thoughts.
Won't be long.
But if you need anything,
don't hesitate to ask.
I say we take him out.
He's a liability.
Yeah. I agree.
Could you check, count it?
Let's do this.
You're alright?
Yeah, I'm good.
Sure.
-Excuse me. Be right back.
-Mm.
Alright.
-Looks good.
-Right on.
JAKE: The fuck do you want?
No.
I'm gonna get you out of here.
-JAKE: No.
-Of course I had nothing to do
with what happened
to your family, Jake.
You were right.
I couldn't retire.
I was contracted
to bring down Section Eight,
and I agreed.
Why didn't you just tell me?
Because if I would have told
you, it would ruin the plan.
Now, the plan has changed
and we're gonna have
to end this, you and me.
Then let's fucking end this.
Great.
Back in the chair.
[ Alarm blaring ]
-You got to be kidding me.
What are you
standing around for?
Go check on the prisoner.
[ Dramatic music plays ]
The hell is going on?
Psst.
Mason, you fucking
double-crossed me?
Alright, Atherton.
What do you want?
You want money?
I got money for you.
Right there on the table.
There's $3 million in that case
on the table over there.
You can take all that money
and go wherever you want.
I'll classify you as dead.
No one will come looking
for you.
You're a free man.
Atherton, you can be
a free, rich man.
How's that sound to you, huh?
Okay, well, what do you want,
Atherton?
I want to watch you die.
Oh, yeah.
Let's talk about
your good buddy
Colonel Tom there
for a second, huh?
Think about it.
How do you think he knew
about your family?
How did I know?
How did I even know about you?
Huh?
He's trying to save his own ass.
They killed your family, Jake.
What else do you want to know?
Go. Come on.
Watch out!
No. Hang on, Colonel.
I got you, just hang on.
[ Dramatic music plays ]
[ Groans ]
That's twice I've saved you now.
Jake...
finish the job.
Yes, sir.
[ Somber music plays ]
Put your fucking gun down.
Now!
That's right, Jake.
Let me see that beautiful face.
Just kill me already.
No.
No, Jake, I would
never kill you.
[ Gun clicks ]
[ Dramatic music plays ]
Come here.
[ Groans ]
Come on, damn it.
Ahh.
Come on, now.
[ Dramatic music plays ]
Come on.
Come on, come on.
[ Engine sputtering ]
JAKE: I know what you must
be thinking.
How did it come to this?
You can't kill --
You --
You can't kill me.
You hesitate.
You always hesi--
[ Dramatic music plays ]
[ Somber music plays ]
[ Helicopter rotors whirring ]
[ Radio chatter ]
MAN: You are clear, runway 2-7.
Wind 0-3-5 at 7, SH 2.
Mr. Atherton.
United States Attorney General
Martin Savoy.
Sir.
We've had our eyes
on Section Eight for a while.
I've had my eyes on you
and Colonel Mason.
Mason was working for you guys?
Can't be proven he was working
for anyone.
Doesn't mean he wasn't, though.
So Section Eight --
done, dusted?
You've done something,
Mr. Atherton.
But we couldn't intervene
until just now.
The politics just went
too high up the chain.
You did bring down Sam Ramsey,
though.
Sam Ramsey.
He got what he deserved.
Probably deserved more.
He was booted from the Agency
several years ago.
Since then,
he trotted the globe,
making himself
and every other thug
that had a grudge against
our country very wealthy,
selling our ambitions
and dirty laundry.
Mm.
Today was a victory.
But there's still many more
like him out there.
And we can use the help
of someone like you
to track them down.
I'm supposed to be serving
a life sentence, sir.
Yeah.
You know,
I don't see a cause for that.
It's the least
we can do for you.
After everything you've done.
How about a clean slate?
Just like that?
Just like that.
I appreciate the offer, sir,
but I have nothing left
to fight for.
You know,
I don't see it that way.
Sir.
We found a briefcase inside.
Along with these.
Thank you, Agent Morrow.
I need to get going.
But I do hope
you'll consider our offer.
Thank you, sir.
[ Helicopter engine starts ]
[ Rotors whirring ]
[ Somber music plays ]
[ Dramatic music plays ]
You have a beautiful family.
It wa a beautiful family, yeah.
Oh.
That's a shame.
What are you doing here?
It's over.
Not for me, it isn't.
Ramsey sent you.
Ramsey's dead.
Ramsey gave me a job to do.
My reputation dictates that
that job needs to be finished.
Whether he's alive or dead
is inconsequential.
Well, then.
Put me out of my misery.
That certainly is the plan.
You want to know
how I found you here?
How I tracked you down?
You are predictable.
We done?
No, we're just getting started,
mate.
-Okay.
-Come on!
I hope you know how to use
one of these.
Little fucking dick.
[ Groans ]
[ Dramatic music plays ]
Are we done?
We're done.
[ Groans ]
[ Dramatic music plays ]
[ Telephone rings ]
JAKE: Uncle Earl.
Sorry I couldn't be there
to say goodbye in person.
I really am.
When you get this voicemail,
know that you saved me
in more ways than one.
The way my dad
gave his life for yours
and you gave your life for me.
You took me in.
You taught me duty and honor
in a world that has none.
You showed me love
like my own father.
When I had none.
I was as much a son to you
as I was to my father.
You know, I --
I said once I had no family,
no son, no wife, no father,
nothing to lose.
But, Uncle Earl, I know
I'll always have you.
And I won't lose you too.
So I'm gonna be going away
for a long time.
It's -- It's just the way
it's got to be.
And, you know, maybe we'll see
each other again
in this life
or the other one.
I'm gonna see him again.
JAKE: You're a good man,
and I hope I make you proud.
I love you, Uncle Earl.
[ Somber music plays ]
[ Line rings ]
SAVOY: Mr. Atherton.
Savoy.
Hm.
I found something to fight for.
SAVOY: Glad to hear that.
We'll be in touch.
Stand by for details.
Welcome to Section Nine.

I'm moving as fast as I can,

If the poor lady had any coin,
I'm sure she'd buy herself
a new car.
-Yeah, we all would.

I want you to take

I want you to slap

We'll get through this.
These will if we don't
pay them off.
How are we gonna pay them?
We're not asking
your uncle again.
Well, Earl isn't exactly
in a lending mood right now.
What?
Nothing.
Hey.
We'll push through this, okay?
Like we always do.
This is making me really scared.
There's nothing
to be scared about.
Except me taking a piece
of this chicken.
-No, no, no.

-Dad.
-Mm-hmm?
Who were the other guys
with you again?
We got -- There's Evan,
Pete, and Will.
And you know that ugly feller
on the end, right?
Mm-hmm. Colonel Mason.
JAKE: Mason.
Saved your life.
Yeah.
So I could give you your life.
Do you still talk to him?
Not as much as I'd like to.
Hey, did you know Mason
was actually at the hospital
the day you were born
all those years ago?
Is that crazy?
You're getting tired.
It's rack time, soldier.
Alright?
-Dad?
-Yeah.
Did you ever kill anybody?

Let me give it to you straight,
alright?
I ain't got no beef
with the gang bangers.
I mean, you know,
they're doing what they do.
I mean, it's part
of their culture in a way.
I have a family to protect, man.
I have you to protect.
And that's a war
that's never gonna end.
You know, I had another life
before the shop here.
A life that I was fortunate
enough to walk away from.
I used to be in the...
...in the money business.
Other people's.
That's how I got the money
to put this together.
I got a second chance
and the business started
and I grew to really
find something
that I never had
in my whole life.
-A home.
-A home?
And I love the people
in this neighborhood.
I mean, ain't nobody got shit,
you know?
Nobody -- Ain't no
rich people around here.
You know, everybody's the same.
I mean, I know everybody.
I know everybody
who grew up here.
I know kids who grew up here
who got kids.
I mean, I know --
I know everybody
who's died on this block.
Hey, man, this is my house, too.
There's no place that makes me
feel more comfortable
than right here.
Fuckin' dust
underneath the nails,
you shouting in my fucking ear
24/7.
Home. Yeah.
Listen, I know these guys
that are banging, you know,
they don't want to do the shit
jobs that are out there,
you know, for no money at all,
breaking their ass.
I mean, I wouldn't want to
do it, but I did it, you know?
I know, man.
I just worry about you.
'Cause they will be back.
They will be back.
Let them go to
fucking Beverly Hills
and shake those motherfuckers
down, you know?
But not on this block.
This fucking block is my home.
This is my house.
And ain't nobody gonna come in
and shake me or anybody else
down on this block.
It's just a war
that's never gonna end,
plain and simple.
I've learned a little something
too.
Gonna get to work.
How is he?
Well, they threatened him.
But you know
how hardheaded he is.
Can't tell him fucking anything.
Am I on speaker, baby?
-Yeah.
-JAKE: Is West there?
-Yeah.
-JAKE: Put him on.
-Hey, West.
-Hi, Dad.
Hey, Weston.
How's it going, buddy?
Listen, Uncle Earl, man,
he's gonna be just fine.
He's gonna bounce back
like he always does.
I'll see you tonight
for some ice cream, alright?
-Okay, Dad.
-JAKE: Man, I love you.
Look, I'm glad. I am.
But you know as well as I do
why I'm worried right now.
Ash, he needed my help.
I wasn't gonna just
stand there and do nothing.
You could have called the cops.
Yeah. Yeah.
Listen, I got to get back
to work, baby.
I'll see you tonight, alright?
Alright.
I love you.
Yeah, I love you too.
I'll bring home some dessert.
Alright.
[ Dramatic music plays ]
[ Tires squeal, engine revs ]
Hola, vigo. [ Laughs ]
Hey, payback's a bitch.
Have a nice day.
[ Dramatic music plays ]
Ash!
West!
Ash!
[ Gasping ]
[ Screams ]
[ Crying ]
I understand
you're going through
a very traumatic time right now.
And I totally understand
what's happening.
If there's anything
you can tell us
to help track this guy down,
I'd appreciate it.
Do you know
why he would do this?
Do you know who he is?
Have you seen him before?
Look, we're gonna --
we're gonna do every--
Hey, Mr. Atherton.
-Jake!
[ Engine starts ]
Jake!
Where's he going?
Where's he going?
Hey, what --
what are you drinking?
Decaf? Get on him.
This is a crime scene.
He just can't leave.
You just stand there too?
Go, let's go, go.
What the fuck?
[ Dramatic music plays ]
ASHTON: Get out of here!
Get out of here!
I got this message
that I got to send
I ain't too comfortable,

I've been repenting

[ Dramatic music plays ]
Yo, yo, yo.
Take it easy!
Yo. Look, look, I didn't mean
to kill your wife.
I didn't want to hurt your boy.
I had to.
You don't understand, man.
I fucking had to.
[ Gunshot ]
Oh, shit, man.
Go ahead, man. Do me. Fuck you.
[ Indistinct conversations ]
[ Dramatic music plays ]
[ Buzzer ]
GUARD: 5 minutes.
How you doing, Jake?
They treating you well in here?
All things considered?
You got everything you need?
Is there anything you need?
Living the life.
Right.
Well, look, um, I'm trying
to find an attorney
to reopen your case.
I'm working on that.
Yeah, don't bother.
I'm where I belong.
MASON: Okay.
I'm really sorry for what
they did to your family.
[ Sighs ]
I wish I could tell you
the pain goes away.
Well, it doesn't.
But it gets better with time,
Jake.
You can't see that now,
but you will.
Eventually.
What do you want me to say?
Well, you can say anything
you want, Jake.
Anything.
Well, I'll tell you
what I told the judge.
That the two people
I love most are gone.
Dead. Butchered.
'Cause of some sack of shit
who should have already been
behind these walls.
But I got my revenge,
and I have zero remorse.
'Cause I'd do it again
in a fucking heartbeat.
No man should have to go through
what you've been through, Jake.
Then do me a favor.
Don't come back.
Let sleeping dogs lie.
Guard.
GUARD: This way.
[ Buzzer ]
[ Somber music plays ]
JAKE: Friggin' year, I think.
MASON: The same.
I owe you my life, sir.
You don't owe me anything, Jake.
Forget about that.
It's part of the past, and
we're not going that way now.
You, of all people, retiring,
you just don't seem like
the rocking chair type.
Well, we'll see how it goes.
Maybe I'll be surprised
at what kind of back swing
a one-legged golfer has.
-Yeah, maybe.
-Yeah.
Look, you're a great soldier,
Jake.
One of the best I've ever known.
Don't forget that.
Thank you.
But right now, I just
want to put that guy to bed.
Go see the wife and kid.
I get it.
Alright.
Take care of yourself.
You too, sir.
-Come see me some time.
-I will.
MASON: Alright.
Let's go, guys.
[ Somber music plays ]
GUARD: Atherton,
you got another visitor.
Cuffs off, please.
Thanks, Ed.
You and Nancy
enjoy the game this weekend.
Why so glum?
Oh, is it that
whole prison thing?
Yeah, that -- that could really
get to just about anybody.
You don't belong in here.
You know it. I know it.
You know that, huh?
And who are you?
I'm the best thing
that's ever happened to you.
You can call me Ramsey.
It's like this.
I run a small,
private task force --
Listen, I'm gonna
stop you right there.
I don't give two shits
what you want.
I had my dose of dickheads
for the day.
-Mr. Atherton --
-Guard.
Take me back to my cell.
[ Buzzer ]
[ Somber music plays ]
[ Dramatic music plays ]
MAN: Get up.
RAMSEY: Hello again,
Mr. Atherton.
How's your head?
[ Panting ]
Stay hydrated.
I highly suggest you take it.
You're gonna feel
very much not yourself.
You CIA?
No, we don't publicize ourselves
the way they do.
I'll spare you the details,
but let's just say there aren't
a whole lot of people
that know about our existence.
Naturally.
You see, Mr. Atherton,
I've been watching you
for a long time now.
Studied your case very closely.
Special Forces,
honorably discharged.
You brought home a little case
of stress disorder,
but nothing that 20 milligrams
of venlafexine couldn't fix.
Turned into
quite the family man.
But then one day,
a couple of dirtbags came in
and murdered both of them,
turned your whole world
upside-down.
And so you took them both out
single-handedly.
Very impressive, by the way.
Courts didn't see it that way.
-The courts are an institution.
-Social construct.
Like this prison you're in now.
We don't play by
the same rules they do.
No one can blame you
for doing what you did.
A temporary lapse in judgment
brought on by
severe traumatic stress.
And I'm spending
the rest of my life in prison
because of it.
Do you really buy that?
You think killing
a guy like Fresh
means you got to spend the rest
of your life behind bars,
caged up like an animal
looking over your shoulder
every time
you've got to take a piss?
The true tragedy
is that they ever even put you
in that cage
instead of giving you
a goddamn shiny medal.
I can see you're still grieving.
I totally understand.
It doesn't mean
your life is over.
You can still have a purpose.
You can live your life again.
I can give you that.
Look at it this way.
If your son Weston
were still here
and he were standing here
in front of you now,
what would he want you to do?
Live your life like a convict?
Or like the hero
he knew you were?
[ Dramatic music plays ]
JAKE: You want to tell me
where we're at?
MUELLER: Section Eight.
Home away from home.
JAKE: Mm. Let's hope not.
MUELLER: I'm sure you'll find
a way to make yourself useful.
How was your flight,
Mr. Atherton?
I'm here.
Forgive my formal attire,
but I'm going out later.
And I wanted to meet you here
to show you the place
that nobody talks about.
I know you remember Elias,
Ajax, and Brunner,
but I see
you've met Mueller now, too.
Yeah. So what is this place?
This is the Batcave,
Mr. Atherton.
Welcome to Section Eight.
How you doing?
You've heard of secret
government agencies, right?
Mm-hmm.
This is it.
It's us.
16 operatives at all times,
eight here in Washington,
eight elsewhere in the world.
We take our orders from the
State Department and the NSA.
Most of the agents we recruit
are men and women like you
who have a special set of skills
but may have been deemed
a danger for whatever reason.
Basically,
no one's gonna miss us
if we just happen
to disappear, right?
RAMSEY: We've been sanctioned
to eliminate any threats
anywhere in the world.
We deflect and contain
certain situations
that present a threat
to our national security.
Okay.
Ms. Mueller here will be
what we call your watcher.
She's accessible to you
24 hours a day
and will accompany you
on any and all assignments
as you gain seniority.
Seniority?
Trust, Mr. Atherton.
You'll be given a bank account,
an apartment in the city,
a vehicle.
We'll provide you
with a backstory
and an alias
for the outside world.
But for all intents
and purposes...
You're already dead.
What about them?
Intelligence operatives.
All of our equipment,
top of the line,
military prototypes.
Now, I wish I had more time
and could show you around,
give you the whole tour,
but I'm afraid
my engagement is pressing.
Make sure that he gets geared up
so he can get right to work.
But first, my team here
will be putting you through
the initiation process.
It's a dead man's party.
-Dead man.
-Let's go. Let's do it.
Come on,
let's get you settled in.
-Can't wait.
-Let's go.
AJAX: Let me show you
a little something, hm?
Right there.
Come on.
You think the world is gonna
wait for you to decide to fight?
I'm not gonna fight you.
-This is the big leagues.
-Listen to me.
You're gonna fight!
Fuck you. Fuck off.
MAN: Fuck that little bitch.
[ Dramatic music plays ]
Clean him up, Ajax.
-Little bitch.
-Come on.
-You're a tough guy.
-You ready for this?
Are you happy?
Get him, Ajax.
Show him who's boss.
ASHTON: Jake.
[ Calm music plays ]
WESTON: Dad?
I'll see myself out.
Fucking...
Come here. Help me the fuck up.
That's fear.
He doesn't belong here, guys.
None of us belonged
when we first got here.
Plus, he wasn't that afraid
when he got started with you.
I see the way you look
at him, little girl.
I didn't look at him any way,
so don't start pointing fingers
at me when he kicked your ass.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Mnh-mnh. Mnh-mnh.
No. No, fuck that.
No, fuck that shit.
[ Dramatic music plays ]
MUELLER: Your target is
Alejandro Castillo.
He's a defense contractor,
made his wealth
by selling our weapons
to the highest bidder
in the black market.
He recently came across
some schematics
the DOJ desperately
wants recovered.
They believe it's his intention
to share these schematics
with one of his Russian friends.
Yeah, Russia.
Fan-fucking-tastic.
The deal's going down in Mexico,
and he will have several
of his armed guards at hand,
as he almost always does.
So it'll be hard to get to him.
When or if we get
the schematics in hand,
what are we supposed
to do with Castillo?
All POIs are to be eliminated.
Ramsey left that out
of the job description.
So we're assassins, huh?
We're whatever
we're ordered to be.
JAKE: What do you see?
MUELLER: 9, maybe 10 guards.
Shit.
Go. You've got to get Castillo.
Are you not coming?
That's why you got your
get-out-of-jail-free card, Jake,
not me.
Your freedom lies on
the success of this mission.
How could I forget?
[ Dramatic music plays ]
[ Laughter ]
Ah, Papi will be right back.
-Don't go anywhere, guys.
-Don't take too long.
Mwah!
Johnny!
Come here.
Come, come.
Ahh.
Castillo.
They say you really know
how to impress your guests.
Hello.
Look around, my friend.
Huh?
You know, people take one look
at this place
and you know
what they all think about?
They think about
the old, the filthy,
buried dreams.
You know what I think about,
Johnny?
I think about opportunity.
I think about a chance
for the new.
I think about the future.
You know what I think?
This...
This is a fucking landfill.
[ Laughs ]
[ Speaks Spanish ]
-Cut the shit.
-Don't worry, Johnny.
Cut the fucking shit, Castillo.
Give me what I came here for.
Are you threatening me?
What is this, Castillo?
Is this a setup?
-Everybody calm down. Calm down.
-Are you fucking with me?
-Castillo, you piece of shit.
-Drop it.
[ Indistinct shouting ]
Fuck this shit!
Shoot that motherfucker!
Move your ass, Jake.
We've got to get Castillo
before they do.
JAKE: On it. Cover me.
[ Dramatic music plays ]
MAN:
Over there behind the car.
[ Whistles ]
CASTILLO: [ Groans ]
You must be the buyer.
Who the fuck are you?
You must be the seller.
Seller of what? What the fuck
are you talking about?
JAKE: I'm gonna ask you once --
The schematics.
Where are they?
Oh, man.
You too?
Fuck you.
[ Hyperventilating ]
What exactly about "eliminate
all" did you not understand?
They were innocent people,
Ramsey.
Nobody's innocent.
JAKE: Those girls were.
You got what you asked for,
right?
You compromised the integrity
of this mission
along with your own life
and Mueller's.
We're here. The job is done.
What more do you need to know?
I want the man I recruited
into this agency, Atherton.
So you want someone to basically
just disregard all human life
for you and this little
fucking club of yours, huh?
Is that what you think this is?
You think we're trading baseball
cards and decoder rings here?
Atherton,
this is serious business.
And until you understand that,
maybe it's best I just throw you
back into that jail cell.
You can do that.
But what you're not gonna do
is hold that over my head
like it's some kind of debt.
You're a man of conviction.
That's why you're here.
Now go on, get some rest.
You earned it.
What do you think?
I think he did good back there.
Maybe.
What do you want me to do?
Do your job.
Just keep an eye on him.
Look,
your golden boy screwed up.
He left witnesses, right?
There was a time when
you wouldn't let this happen.
What are you trying to say?
We all make mistakes,
including you.
Sir.
[ Line rings ]
Get me Locke.
[ Big band music plays ]
Luck ain't got nothin'
to do with it
No matter what they say
Luck ain't got nothin'
to do with it
I'll show you how to play
You watch the people
sweating at the table
Look them straight
in the eyes
When you see a moment
of doubt, you pounce
It's the element of surprise
It's an easy game if you know
how to play it
Excuse me, ladies.
Wakey, wakey.
Get up. Get out!
You, move.
Whoa-ho.
Luck ain't got nothin'
to do with it
Ramsey sent you.
That's right.
And if you know that,
then you know why I'm here
and you should know
there's nothing you can say
to make a difference.
But I got money.
See all this?
All this is yours.
We can work something out.
Just give me a number.
Two.
But I knew you wouldn't just
fall in my lap
I had to make a --
[ Elevator bell dings ]
[ Slot machines clanging ]
We've got a male suspect
heading towards the front door.
[ Dramatic music plays ]
Hey.
[ Screams ]
Hey!
-Freeze!
-Put the gun down!
[ Screaming ]
-Drop it!
-Move.
-Okay, okay, okay.
It's done.
Yeah, yeah.
Tell me something I don't know.
[ Dramatic music plays ]
Now, where did you get this?
Colonel.
Jake.
How's the leg, sir?
Yeah, it's -- it's great.
It's really great.
Couple of severed nerves,
shattered bones.
I don't think
I'll be able to play golf
the way I used to.
Severed nerves.
I'm sorry, sir.
I blame myself too.
But blaming yourself
is to easiest thing to do.
But it's not -- not always
the right thing.
Well, you saved my life, sir.
My wife and kid thank you.
Hey, we're just trying
to make the best
out of a shit situation.
Is that what it was?
Hey.
You're alright.
[ Country music plays ]
That's a lot of empty bottles.
They weren't empty
when I got them.
[ Clears throat ]
Want some company?
Someone's got to pay my tab.
Vodka straight up.
Whew, straight for
the big stuff.
I get specific.
Ramsey -- What's his story?
Who knows?
No one knows anything
about Ramsey but Ramsey.
What about you?
How did you get involved
with Section Eight?
Let's just say I had
a background in the Army.
In the Army?
My commanding officer
reprimanded me.
What did you do then?
Knocked his teeth out.
Remind me never to fuck
with you, Miss Mueller. Geez.
Mm.
What's wrong?
It's nothing.
MUELLER: Mm.
It's just...my wife drink--
drank vodka.
I'm sorry about what happened.
I'm sure it's not something
you can easily get over.
I don't think
you ever get over it.
This is the next piece
of the puzzle.
Senator Jim Graham.
He lives in a secluded estate
just outside the city.
Two objectives here.
One is to retrieve
digital information
of a case-sensitive nature.
And the other is
to eliminate the target.
We're assassinating
a state senator?
Well, don't let the job title
fool you.
This guy's a traitor
to this country.
He's paid off enough bureaucrats
to keep his sorry ass
out of jail.
Liza, I want you to go in,
get the files, and get out.
Jake, you're on bird watch.
Transpo. You'll be there
as reinforcements.
What kind of security
are we looking at?
Well, the senator's paranoid,
but he's not stupid,
and he's rich.
Private contractors,
top of the line.
If they resist,
which they will,
you resist back.
You know what to do,
right, Atherton?
-You got it, boss.
-That's right.
A black bag job.
Bag and tag, kids.
-Let's go.
-MUELLER: Let's go.
Let's go.
GRAHAM: Thank you very much.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Too kind. Too kind.
Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you very much. Thank you.
Thank you.
You know, when Barbara and I
set off for Washington,
it was with one promise --
take back America.
Take back America
from corporate greed.
Alright, guys,
you got us out here
in a fucking landscaping van.
Let's get this shit done,
alright? Let's make it happen.
MUELLER: Hold your panties,
Ajax. I'm on the move.
Birds have left the nest.
[ Dramatic music plays ]
MAN: Security breach alert.
Security breach alert.
This election
will not be stolen.
-[ Radio chatter ]
-Take back America.
MAN: Hostiles. Security breach.
Excuse me, sir, we need to
get you out of here now.
-Come with me. This way, sir.
-Please come with me.
Aw, shit, they're on to us.
They're on to us.
They made us. They made us.
Let's go. Let's go.
Liza, let's get a move on.
We got heat on us.
[ Dramatic music plays ]
Let's go. Let's get a move on.
Get him in there. Come on.
Whew.
Downloading.
20%.
What the fuck was that?
Where the fuck does this
Forrest Gump motherfucker
think he's running to?
We got to go.
Move. We got it.
Let's go. Liza, let's go.
We got some heat.
Yeah. On my way to you.
Ple-- Please.
I have a family.
I have a wife.
I have a son.
Please.
[ Gunshot ]
The hell are you doing?
You hesitated.
We don't hesitate.
It's not fucking okay.
[ Dramatic music plays ]
MUELLER: It's me.
Listen, if you want to talk
about what happened, I'm here.
[ Somber music plays ]
[ Dramatic music plays ]
Thought I'd take you up
on that golf game, sir.
Come inside, Jake.
So you're a fugitive now.
How can I help?
Section Eight --
you ever hear of them?
I know the real Section Eight
was dismantled back in the '90s.
What do you mean?
Well, I hear the agency's
still alive.
A cesspool of operatives.
Disgraced CIA, FBI, you name it.
Very well connected.
The highest levels
in Washington.
We talking the White House?
As White as it's always been.
You ever hear of a guy
named Ramsey?
No.
No, I can't say I have.
I'll make some calls.
But look, if Section Eight
is after you,
you got some serious problems,
soldier.
Yeah, I know.
Look, I hate to ask, sir,
but --
What?
I need money and a gun.
You're gonna need
more than that.
[ Dramatic music plays ]
Mr. Atherton,
why don't you just come on in
and we can talk about it?
I hear you.
Just stay calm, alright?
Come on in and we'll figure
this thing out together.
I'm sorry, Mr. Atherton.
I was really hoping
it would work out between us.
But Senator Graham,
you hesitated.
I told you, in this job,
you can't hesitate.
Make the call.
-We are tracking him.
-That's sweet.
You see, Locke isn't like
other men.
He isn't burdened by weaknesses
like remorse and guilt.
Ramsey, we will find Jake.
Oh, I'm sure you will.
It'll be interesting to see
who finds him first.
[ Chuckles ]
Better hope he doesn't
find you first.
[ Line rings ]
[ Classical music plays ]
This is Locke.
MUELLER: We need you.
Give me a name.
MUELLER: Jake Atherton,
ex-military Special Forces.
Ramsey thinks
he's become a problem.
Where can I find him?
[ Dramatic music plays ]
Sorry.
Landon.
Mr. Atherton. You remember me.
Of course I remember you, man.
You were Weston's best friend.
I really missed him.
Yeah, man, I miss him too.
LANDON: I still go by
your old house.
They boarded it up
after what happened.
My mom says
they're gonna tear down.
Look, we're all happy here
that you got Fresh
and everyone else.
Wait, how --
how do you know Fresh?
Saw him around the neighborhood
for a while,
then at this place
by the comic book shop.
He was always talking
with some people there.
Alright, Landon, listen to me.
Listen to me.
This is very important.
Can you tell me anything about
the people he was meeting with?
Who was he talking to?
I don't know.
They were just wearing
some black suits.
Black suits?
They also mostly just looked
like these people.
Right here.
[ Dramatic music plays ]
Get down.
Stay down, stay down.
[ Screaming ]
[ Sirens wailing ]
Put the gun down.
-Get on the ground!
-On the ground!
-OFFICER: Drop it!
-OFFICER #2: Freeze!
Shit.
[ Police radio chatter ]
[ Cellphone vibrates ]
He's gone. I lost him.
RAMSEY:
I thought you were the best.
No, no, no, who the fuck do you
think you're talking to?
I'll find him
and I'll finish the job.
Alright?
Have I ever let you down before?
RAMSEY: You just did.
As I get older, it gets harder
and harder to remember
Mom and Dad.
It's fuzzy, you know?
It's out of focus.
But I remember you.
You adopted me.
You had the courage to raise me.
You told me I was Superman,
and I fucking believed.
That was the biggest honor
I've ever had in my whole life.
I'd be nothing without you, man.
[ Computer beeping ]
Hey, we got company.
Grab the shotgun.
Get in the back. Now.
No goddamn retreat.
And no fucking prisoners.
[ Dramatic music plays ]
-Got you, mother--
-[ Gunshot ]
Go out back. Now.
Ajax, what the fuck?
Move out of the way.
Fuck it.
You shoot like bitch. [ Laughs ]
You just shot your own man.
Oh, no, I'm s-- I don't care!
[ Laughs ]
You out?
I think you're out.
Out?
Hold up.
I'm out. Now let's fuck.
Ever since I met you,
I've had this...
urge.
Mm-hmm. What's that?
To rip your fucking flesh off.
What are you waiting for?
Come on.
[ Dramatic music plays ]
Fuck you.
You're mine now.
How you like me now?
[ Screams ]
[ Gunshot ]
[ Panting ]
Earl!
-You alright?
[ Sirens wailing ]
Come on, Jake.
We got to get out of here.
Jake, I think you better
get your ass out of here.
I don't think they're all dead.
MUELLER: Jake.
I love you.
[ Sirens wailing ]
Why didn't you try
and kill me back there?
Because maybe I want out of
Section Eight as much as you do.
Bullshit.
MUELLER: Oh, come on.
I just put my ass
on the line for you.
I'm just having a hard time
trusting anybody right now.
When Ramsey came to visit you
in jail,
what do you think he would have
done if you refused, huh?
It's clandestine for a reason.
We can't have people
just walking on the street
or in jail knowing about it.
Where is Ramsey now?
What? Why?
Because that's
where we're going.
[ Dramatic music plays ]
You know this cabin pretty well?
Yeah.
You know, there's no coffee shop
or drive-thrus along the way.
What? What's wrong?
You should go back, Liza.
-Please.
-What? No.
You said it yourself.
This is suicide.
Jake, I'm here now.
[ Dramatic music plays ]
[ Grunts ]
WESTON: Hey, Dad.
[ Laughs ]
There's nothing
to be scared about.
RAMSEY: Welcome to Montana,
Mr. Atherton.
I wouldn't bother trying
to get out.
If there's anything
Liza does well,
it's tie men up.
Sorry, Jake.
I had to bring you here somehow.
So the committee meeting,
you just made that up?
Oh, no.
That part was actually real.
Yeah, those little
congressional bastards
should be here by nightfall,
but you might be at the bottom
of the river by then.
So why am I here?
Why haven't you killed me yet?
Well, you made it this far.
And if I did that, wouldn't that
spoil the surprise?
[ Dramatic music plays ]
Didn't see that coming, did you?
What are you doing here,
Colonel?
Well, I guess I did
know a guy named Ramsey.
[ Laughs ]
This was you?
All of this was you?
We were looking for a soldier,
Atherton.
One with a killer instinct,
one who could do the job.
My wife.
My kid, my boy. You --
My fucking family.
RAMSEY: Yeah, that one's on me.
Threw some money around to
some local shit stains and...
That's what happens
when you go cheap.
I didn't know how
you were gonna react,
but you did not disappoint.
How could you do this
to me, sir?
I gave you a second chance
at life in Afghanistan.
What'd you do with it?
Ended up fixing cars.
You had a skill.
You threw it all away.
I gave it away?
You knew what they meant to me.
I'm sorry.
You just wouldn't listen.
Now we got a decision to make.
My guests should
be arriving soon,
so we'll just leave you here
with your thoughts.
Won't be long.
But if you need anything,
don't hesitate to ask.
I say we take him out.
He's a liability.
Yeah. I agree.
Could you check, count it?
Let's do this.
You're alright?
Yeah, I'm good.
Sure.
-Excuse me. Be right back.
-Mm.
Alright.
-Looks good.
-Right on.
JAKE: The fuck do you want?
No.
I'm gonna get you out of here.
-JAKE: No.
-Of course I had nothing to do
with what happened
to your family, Jake.
You were right.
I couldn't retire.
I was contracted
to bring down Section Eight,
and I agreed.
Why didn't you just tell me?
Because if I would have told
you, it would ruin the plan.
Now, the plan has changed
and we're gonna have
to end this, you and me.
Then let's fucking end this.
Great.
Back in the chair.
[ Alarm blaring ]
-You got to be kidding me.
What are you
standing around for?
Go check on the prisoner.
[ Dramatic music plays ]
The hell is going on?
Psst.
Mason, you fucking
double-crossed me?
Alright, Atherton.
What do you want?
You want money?
I got money for you.
Right there on the table.
There's $3 million in that case
on the table over there.
You can take all that money
and go wherever you want.
I'll classify you as dead.
No one will come looking
for you.
You're a free man.
Atherton, you can be
a free, rich man.
How's that sound to you, huh?
Okay, well, what do you want,
Atherton?
I want to watch you die.
Oh, yeah.
Let's talk about
your good buddy
Colonel Tom there
for a second, huh?
Think about it.
How do you think he knew
about your family?
How did I know?
How did I even know about you?
Huh?
He's trying to save his own ass.
They killed your family, Jake.
What else do you want to know?
Go. Come on.
Watch out!
No. Hang on, Colonel.
I got you, just hang on.
[ Dramatic music plays ]
[ Groans ]
That's twice I've saved you now.
Jake...
finish the job.
Yes, sir.
[ Somber music plays ]
Put your fucking gun down.
Now!
That's right, Jake.
Let me see that beautiful face.
Just kill me already.
No.
No, Jake, I would
never kill you.
[ Gun clicks ]
[ Dramatic music plays ]
Come here.
[ Groans ]
Come on, damn it.
Ahh.
Come on, now.
[ Dramatic music plays ]
Come on.
Come on, come on.
[ Engine sputtering ]
JAKE: I know what you must
be thinking.
How did it come to this?
You can't kill --
You --
You can't kill me.
You hesitate.
You always hesi--
[ Dramatic music plays ]
[ Somber music plays ]
[ Helicopter rotors whirring ]
[ Radio chatter ]
MAN: You are clear, runway 2-7.
Wind 0-3-5 at 7, SH 2.
Mr. Atherton.
United States Attorney General
Martin Savoy.
Sir.
We've had our eyes
on Section Eight for a while.
I've had my eyes on you
and Colonel Mason.
Mason was working for you guys?
Can't be proven he was working
for anyone.
Doesn't mean he wasn't, though.
So Section Eight --
done, dusted?
You've done something,
Mr. Atherton.
But we couldn't intervene
until just now.
The politics just went
too high up the chain.
You did bring down Sam Ramsey,
though.
Sam Ramsey.
He got what he deserved.
Probably deserved more.
He was booted from the Agency
several years ago.
Since then,
he trotted the globe,
making himself
and every other thug
that had a grudge against
our country very wealthy,
selling our ambitions
and dirty laundry.
Mm.
Today was a victory.
But there's still many more
like him out there.
And we can use the help
of someone like you
to track them down.
I'm supposed to be serving
a life sentence, sir.
Yeah.
You know,
I don't see a cause for that.
It's the least
we can do for you.
After everything you've done.
How about a clean slate?
Just like that?
Just like that.
I appreciate the offer, sir,
but I have nothing left
to fight for.
You know,
I don't see it that way.
Sir.
We found a briefcase inside.
Along with these.
Thank you, Agent Morrow.
I need to get going.
But I do hope
you'll consider our offer.
Thank you, sir.
[ Helicopter engine starts ]
[ Rotors whirring ]
[ Somber music plays ]
[ Dramatic music plays ]
You have a beautiful family.
It wa a beautiful family, yeah.
Oh.
That's a shame.
What are you doing here?
It's over.
Not for me, it isn't.
Ramsey sent you.
Ramsey's dead.
Ramsey gave me a job to do.
My reputation dictates that
that job needs to be finished.
Whether he's alive or dead
is inconsequential.
Well, then.
Put me out of my misery.
That certainly is the plan.
You want to know
how I found you here?
How I tracked you down?
You are predictable.
We done?
No, we're just getting started,
mate.
-Okay.
-Come on!
I hope you know how to use
one of these.
Little fucking dick.
[ Groans ]
[ Dramatic music plays ]
Are we done?
We're done.
[ Groans ]
[ Dramatic music plays ]
[ Telephone rings ]
JAKE: Uncle Earl.
Sorry I couldn't be there
to say goodbye in person.
I really am.
When you get this voicemail,
know that you saved me
in more ways than one.
The way my dad
gave his life for yours
and you gave your life for me.
You took me in.
You taught me duty and honor
in a world that has none.
You showed me love
like my own father.
When I had none.
I was as much a son to you
as I was to my father.
You know, I --
I said once I had no family,
no son, no wife, no father,
nothing to lose.
But, Uncle Earl, I know
I'll always have you.
And I won't lose you too.
So I'm gonna be going away
for a long time.
It's -- It's just the way
it's got to be.
And, you know, maybe we'll see
each other again
in this life
or the other one.
I'm gonna see him again.
JAKE: You're a good man,
and I hope I make you proud.
I love you, Uncle Earl.
[ Somber music plays ]
[ Line rings ]
SAVOY: Mr. Atherton.
Savoy.
Hm.
I found something to fight for.
SAVOY: Glad to hear that.
We'll be in touch.
Stand by for details.
Welcome to Section Nine.
[ "This Is What I Live For"
by Blue October plays ]
Part of me just dies
Peeling me out of my skin
Caught in a landslide
Falling down again
This is what I live for
This is what I live for
Falling down again
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I'll never look back
Over my shoulder again
It's what I live for
Falling down again
Part of me just dies
Peeling me out of my skin
Caught in a landslide
Falling down again
This is what I live for
This is what I live for
Falling down again
I have to find a way
To make sure you're okay
But no one answers me
I walk around
This lonely city
I walk around
this lonely city
To make sure you're okay
But no one answers me
'Cause no one hears at all
This is what I live for
This is what I live for
Falling down again
This is what I live for
This is what I live for
Falling down again
I'll never let go
This is what I live for
Falling down again
I'll never look back
Over my shoulder again
It's what I live for
Falling down again
