Alisha: Sir, we have body-cam footage from all four land teams.

Man: Sat link confirmed in all four regions, sir.

Tiger, I'm seeing no movement on the northeast side.

Tex: Raptor moving in on the master suite.

Nukes are too messy. We have something more reliable.

We could start a civil war.

[Sighs] I'm not so sure.

We've got a target.

Mike: Vulture team's an hour and a half from wheels down.

Lieutenant, where's my satellite?!

Power diverted to essential systems only.

Work faster!

Sir, we've got less than three minutes

Man: Hold down that exterior!

- Third hostile, bearing 042! - Fire, fire, fire!

I want my kids back.

- Daddy. - [Crying] Daddy.

- Daddy, what about you? - [Sharply] Ashley.

America didn't go away just because four people said so.

I suppose that's one way of looking at it.

[Door opens]

That much I've learned.

Kara: He was a little restless on the way over.

Or the one about a hero dying for the cause,

Chandler returns to America to find out what has really been happening.

I have the infrastructure and the access.

Man: I understand. Weren't they stationed in east gate?

Just need thumbprints from two of you.

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

You're not from around here.

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

Some can make the adjustment, some can't.

I found train tracks running directly into a warehouse,

Overwatch, how's the view?

Let's go! Let's go!

What happened?

And my kids haven't eaten since day before yesterday.

Oliver: Come on. Help each other.

Slattery: Nathan James, be advised...

Let's take him down together.

If you don't, he's gonna kill every one of us.

I changed my mind. Shoot him instead.

No.

Chandler faces his powerful enemy in a final showdown. Kara joins someone that can help with her mission.

Thank you very much.

Now it's time you, the American people, learn the facts.

It doesn't matter. She can't prove any of it.

Let's not forget that.

But I will remind you that we can kill your family.

We can stop it.

That's just it, sir. He's not in China.

He said we had his full support. Now this?

The person who sent you those orders

Aye, sir.

Attention, all hands.

Tell me the goddamn plan.

Oh. Must've got my dates crossed. Thanks.

Shaw is the leak.

And I can tell you with certainty

It's not about...

These guys are staking their claim.

- Whoa. Chill, Eric. - It's PO2, blivit.

Food, medicine. They're in such remote areas.

And they're spread out evenly in the territories.

Uhh!

On your knees. Okay, boys.

Most importantly,

And I served my sailors as they served me.

What the hell is this?

Chandler gets a lead that could help answer threatening questions. Kara does some digging in the White House.

Peng is too smart to do this out in the open.

Well, I'm gonna have to operate under the assumption

Only the senior leadership knew.

Looks like we got a stowaway here, mate.

Captain Chandler.

Nathan James, this is Nomad.

Wu Ming taught me this when I asked...

And where exactly might we find Mama Ming?

Audio isn't good enough. We need to see faces.

There it is again.

You're over there risking your lives. I'm sitting at a desk.

I got the shot on the lower.

This is my boat!

Shut up.

It's binding to the glycoproteins of the red flu.

This was part of the plan, I take it?

Engage Kingfisher.

They can have us targeted in 30 seconds, sir.

We're clear!

How's little Frankie?

Cure works.

Chandler's mission comes to a head as he prepares the final part of his plan. President Michener ponders the fate of his presidency.

Well, that's assuming we can trust the intel

T.A.O., request batteries release on helo's position.

We're going after Takehaya.

Lieutenant, where are we?

Chandler's mission becomes complicated as his position is worsened. President Michener faces pressure from the regional leaders.

Normally, I'd have you work in teams,

Their support is crucial, now more than ever.

I have it at one meter in diameter, steel casing, painted.

All right. Listen up, gentlemen.

Oh, Jesus, Kudelski's

Did you see that?

Well, I appreciate you making the trip here.

I got something.

So Nathan James is trapped in this minefield as we speak!

we're seeing demonstrations in the streets.

Suddenly, your people don't have the supplies they need,

and an expectation that all of you

Now, I have a job to do, and so do you.

no one can tell us, except the man behind that door,

Jacob, this is a sensitive operation.

Well, how soon till the first one closes in on us?

How fast can you rig it?

Get it done.

Lookouts to the rail.

Captain, you're never gonna believe this.

Chandler must confront his suspected new foe. Slattery learns more about the supposed virus mutation. Pressure mounts on President Michener as the situation worsens.

What has he told the families of the hostages,

Easy. It's okay. It's okay.

Ah, come on.

So where do you want me?

Increase speed. Get 10,000 feet and break off 90°.

Oh, I'm not saying that he doesn't want us dead,

Sorry, sir. Are we talking about what we're talking about?

It's important you maintain deniability.

Then why do you go after him like he's some sort of criminal

Your word means nothing.

We have some business to discuss.

This is an AMT special report.

And with no end in sight to this hostage crisis,

You speak English?

This isn't just about my people.

I heard.

Sir, we'd been tracking that vessel.

(DOOR CLOSES)

Look, I get it, all right? You're mad at me.

- Welcome back, sir. - Good to see you, Gator.

How far to the next objective?

So for today, I'm just a body with a gun.

They don't want us to know where we are.

There's a nuclear power plant six miles inland.
