Mike Banning
I know who did this to us. He's gonna try and finish the job. You are not safe here, sir.
Secret Service Director David Gentry
No, no. This is the safest place for you, sir. This place is on total lockdown.
Mike Banning
Then how the fuck did I get here, Gentry?
Secret Service Director David Gentry
You know all of our protocols, and now you're in cuffs!
Mike Banning
Sir, sir. I served with this man. I know what he's capable of.
Secret Service Director David Gentry
We don't even know if this guy exists.
Mike Banning
He wants you dead.
Secret Service Director David Gentry
All we have is Mike's word!
Mike Banning
He will find a way in here like I did.
Secret Service Director David Gentry
Eighteen agents are dead! You're still alive!
Mike Banning
We are sitting ducks.
President Trumbull
All right! Uncuff him.
Secret Service Director David Gentry
Sir, we still don't know whose side Mike is really on.
President Trumbull
Yes, we do. He's on my side. He's the reason I'm still alive.

Clay Banning
[rescuing Leah and Lynne]
This wasn't how I wanted to introduce myself. I'm Clay Banning. Mike's dad.
Leah Banning
How... how... how would I know it's you?
Clay Banning
Well, the reason you don't know that truth already is... because of me alone.
Leah Banning
Tell... tell me something personal about him.
Clay Banning
The only thing I have for you is... his birth name. Michael Jameson Banning. Born on base, Fort Hood, Texas. His mother's maiden name... Mary Alice... DeWitt. And to this day, I deeply regret walking away from them.

Mr. Jennings, I'm Helen Thompson. I don't think we've ever had the privilege.

I wouldn't call it a privilege. Agent Thompson's the reason we're fighting our wars with one hand tied to our dicks.
Agent Thompson
So I guess you know why we're here.
Wade Jennings
Well, you said it was a matter of national security.
Agent Thompson
Yeah. When was the last time you spoke to Mike Banning?
Wade Jennings
Well, if you're doing your job, you'd know the answer to that.
Agent Thompson
Oh, I do. Let's see if we've come up with the same answer.

Well, you can call in and warn 'em.
Mike Banning
Do you remember the part they think I'm working with the Russians? Besides, I don't know who else is in on it. No. I need to get to the president himself.

Salient Tech 1
We hacked into Banning's government IP server and compiled his search history. Over his entire career, Banning's been constantly monitoring this. It's a Social Security number that's collecting VA disability benefits. Check this.

That's Clay Banning. That's Mike's old man. He told me all about him. He was a decorated Ranger in 'Nam and a tunnel rat. He came back, he went crazy, left everyone, and was gone. Where's daddy now?

Mike Banning
Seriously, dad? You're telling me that I have to take care of my upstairs?
Clay Banning
Yup.
Mike Banning
You're, like, one level off of the Unabomber. But, tell you what, you wanna help me get my shit together?
Clay Banning
Yeah.
Mike Banning
So, how about you come with me? We get un-fucked together.

Leah Banning
He's in line to be director of the Secret Service.
Agent Thompson
Exactly. Which is why I believe Mike saw the inevitable and was looking for a big payout for you guys. Now, if that's the case, Leah, that means somebody paid him to do this. If you can help me find that person, it would help Mike's case considerably.
Leah Banning
Fuck you, lady. You can't play me. My husband is a good man.

Leah Banning
Mike said you grew up in England?
Wade Jennings
Uh, yeah, I did. Yeah, my father was an expat. I, uh... I never really felt I belonged anywhere. But when I moved to the States after school, I-I joined the Army.
Leah Banning
And how long did you guys serve together?
Mike Banning
Uh, I got into Third Batt right after you. So, what, about three, four years?
Wade Jennings
That sounds about right. Yeah.
Leah Banning
Mike never tells me stories about his Army days.
Wade Jennings
Yeah, well, most of us don't. It's just our way, I guess. But, uh, hey, if you... if you wanna hear a story...
Mike Banning
No.

I'd like my daughter in here, please.
Agent Thompson
I think it's best that we just let Lynne sleep, okay?
Leah Banning
Then I wanna see my husband.
Agent Thompson
And I'm working on that for you. But first... did you know about the $10 million in the offshore account? Mike's account.
Leah Banning
Ten million what?

Clay Banning
I know what I did. But I'd do it again. Because of what fucking war made me, turned me into. And I see it in you. I can see it in your eyes. You think Iraq was different than Nam? Nam different than Korea? No, it's the fucking same thing! It's War! And it doesn't matter what you give them. You'll give it because you don't know any better! And they'll take it. Your honor, your youth, your life! Me disappearing was the best thing that ever happened to you. You wouldn't have liked me.

The controls were left on auto to deploy the drones during the trip's window. The facial recognition to target the president of the United States, as well as every member of your team, except you. You had this perfectly planned, Mike, didn't you?

No, I cannot, Agent Banning.

Mike Banning
Yeah. He hasn't made a decision yet, honey.
Leah Banning
If you want me to, I will march down to the White House and set Trumbull straight.

Yes, sir. I know you're busy, so I-I'll get right to it. Before the attack, I-I... I should've been more honest about some of the things that I was dealing with. The concussions, the... pills. I let you down, sir.
President Trumbull
You're damn right. Why did you think you couldn't come to me with this, after all we've been through?
Mike Banning
I don't know, sir. You know how I feel about the job, and I... I didn't want anyone to take that away from me. But that is no excuse. You know, someone said to me once... it's better sometimes knowing when to quit instead of lying to yourself and hurting the ones you care about the most. I'm not gonna let that happen again. I'm here to offer my resignation, sir.

Maybe you can explain why I found your DNA in the van. Skin cells, hair. Right there on the launch controls.

Or residue from the same explosives used in the event in your garage. Mike, tell me about the encrypted folder we found on the Dark Web.
Mike Banning
Encrypted folder?

She's okay. She's here with me. We've been getting death threats.
Mike Banning
Are the cops out front?
Leah Banning
Yeah. And a ton of reporters.
Mike Banning
Okay, that's a good thing. They'll watch the house 24/7. So you just make sure you stay inside and they'll keep you safe. Have they talked to you?
Leah Banning
Yeah. Why didn't you tell me about the doctors?
Mike Banning
Babe, I wanted to. But I can't explain right now. Just... you gotta trust me.
Leah Banning
Where are you? Are you in jail?

VP Kirby
How solid is this intel that Banning colluded with the Russians?
James Haskell
It's tricky, sir. The evidence definitely points to that, but it's hard to prove if it's really Moscow's doing or an outside hacker who wants it to look that way.
VP Kirby
Outside hacker? Hackers don't pay out $10 million for assassinations.
James Haskell
None have before, no.
VP Kirby
The problem is the Russians will deny this to the end if we take action. But if we don't, they'll remain ambiguous as to their involvement, so we look weak. Just like with their election tampering.
Ad. Paul Sebring
I really think we should slow down here, sir, before this blows up in our face.

The president of the United States is lying in a coma, and 18 Secret Service agents are dead. This already blew up in our face!

Agent Ramirez
Still piecing together what happened, but Banning's gone. This was no cowboy hit. It was tactical.
Agent Thompson
Okay. Keep the search area wide. Triple security at all travel hubs in the surrounding areas. Banning is Secret Service. He knows how we do this. He knows all our tricks. I want every surveillance camera in the nation going through our facial recognition system. Anything we see, I want it followed up. And I don't wanna hear anything about a subpoena at this point, 'cause I really don't give a shit. We will deal with that later.

Travis Cole
240.
