Today, the State Department announced the arrival of members
of the provisional government of Penamstan at Dulles International Airport.
They are scheduled to meet with the US Government
to discuss future support for their country. After that...
President Graham has announced that he'll be attending the ceremony,
to deliver a speech advocating peace.
Jason?
Hey, Jason.
You wanna talk about it?
CREDITS
As a result of the civil war that broke out in 2000,
Penamstan was more or less reduced to a state of anarchy.
- _ Before the UN could pass a resolution, the US deployed troops to the country.
- _ - Penamstan militia resisted what they thought was an invasion.
What we're doing to Penamstan violates international law.
I mean, what's the point of the UN field survey?
When the UN Security Council
can't implement effective measures promptly,
military intervention is sanctioned for humanitarian purposes.
"Humanitarian"? Anyone in the world who can read a map
knows exactly what the US is after.
This isn't humanitarian aid.
They're trying to gain a foothold into China.
China has nothing to do with this.
Look, if Penamstan wants to get out from under their civil war
and make the transition to a democracy,
they're gonna need a military force backing them up.
But the provisional government already started that process, remember?
It's obvious we're picking a fight with them
to trigger a new war. If the US Government...
"A battle of futility."
- Withdrawal leaves path of destruction. - _
_
"Hero of Penamstan."
_
"Major General Wilson greets the Mad Dogs unit
on their return from their mission in Penamstan."
_
All suicides...
The only survivors are Jason and one other person.
Command to Mad Dogs, stand down and return to formation!
- Clear! - Go!
- Clear! - Bastards took our guys!
- Fuck. - There's one here.
US Army Mad Dogs, can you move?
Oh, shit.
Okay. He's still alive.
Hold your fire! Hold your fire!
Okay. We got this guy. Cover us until we get to that building.
Go!
Command. This is Mad Dogs. We need evac for seven.
We got one survivor, and he's torn to shit.
Hostiles inbound. Get us out of here.
Fuck!
Let's light these bitches up and get the fuck outta here.
Sure. We're just gonna walk back to base through that shit.
You fucking high?
All right. Goggles.
Jesus Christ.
- What the fuck were those things, man? - How the fuck should I know?
We need to get our asses back to base and report this.
We can't go back to base. It's not safe.
Bullshit. They need to know what's going on out here.
The fuck's wrong with him? Why ain't he dead?
- We saw something we shouldn't have. - We need to tell someone.
People need to know what happened back there.
Tell them what? Who'd believe us?
His unit must have been on a top-secret mission.
That's why they had to blast the site.
They were dead.
Those militia motherfuckers dragged 'em out and killed 'em all.
And they turned into that.
Either way, we need to tell somebody about it.
Command dropped MK77s on the town.
They wanted to burn everything, including us.
If we talk, we're dead.
Shit.
Hold your fire!
Who are you?
Warrant Officer Fifth Class, Shen May, sir.
What are you doing here?
I was going over your last transmissions and...
Jun See.
_
We're entering Chinese waters, Captain.
No trackers detected.
Good. Keep her steady.
Have a seat.
Looked like you were having a nightmare.
They call me the hero of Penamstan.
Some fucking hero.
Every night, I have the same nightmare.
About Penamstan.
That day.
Penamstan.
That was hell.
Yeah.
I bet.
You have no idea.
Look. I can't imagine what it was like for you.
But I have been through some shit myself.
Raccoon City.
They sterilized that place.
- You were there? - Yeah.
I was just a rookie cop late as hell on his first day.
That's why I'm still alive.
There were zombies everywhere.
I remember... people screaming.
Moaning.
They'd get bit, and then they'd turn.
It was terrifying.
There's no way to describe it except...
Hell.
Yeah.
The government wiped the city off the map and covered it all up.
Sure. They didn't want it to spread.
You destroy a city to save the country.
That's a tough call, but someone's gotta make it.
There were people alive in there. There were families alive in there.
And they didn't even try to get them out. So, tough call my ass!
Look, I get it. You were a cop.
It was your job to protect those people
and you want justice for them.
But agents like us, we don't get to think that way anymore.
It's a new world and we just gotta roll with it.
You cannot save a country,
if you don't give a damn about the people in it.
Before, you said "terrifying".
Do you know where the root of terror comes from?
I don't follow.
It starts with fear.
Yeah.
Humans.
Humans fear the unknown.
And there is nothing more unknowable than us.
As a species...
oh, we're unpredictable. We're cruel.
Especially when we're trying to survive.
Yeah. The Greeks said it best.
"There is much to fear in this world...
but nothing more so than humans."
What the fuck was that?
Hey. You all right?
Shit.
Hey. We're in a pressurized tube underwater. Remember?
I can't get the engine room on the horn. What's going on?
The sub might be infected by an unknown virus.
We need to isolate it. Shut all the doors.
- But the air will still... - It's a temporary measure.
- Hurry up and shut the door. - Prepare for lockdown.
- Which compartment's infected? - Near the bow.
Lock it down.
Hatch secure.
Jesus.
You gotta be shitting me.
It's a bioweapon.
Code 13 has been activated.
This submarine will self-destruct in five minutes.
All crew, board the ASDS2 and evacuate.
Commencing countdown. Five minutes to self-destruct.
Wish I had some cheese.
This just keeps getting better.
Three minutes, thirty seconds until self-destruct.
Goddamn it.
Sixty seconds until self-destruct.
59, 58, 57, 56...
Fifty-five...
Fifty-three...
I'm not a rat.
Fifty-one...
You wanna get that out of my face?
You'll kill us all.
Am I interrupting something here?
We received their SOS an hour ago.
We haven't picked up any signal on the radar since then.
It's vanished.
Also, we spotted a Chinese fleet near their last ping.
That's the last thing we needed.
I'm going to raise the DEFCON level.
It's me. Headed to the Situation Room now.
_
This is it.
Secure.
All right, we made it to shore. You wanna brief us?
You can start by telling me what you're really after.
I mean, you killed the crew.
Must be a major op, right?
If you're not gonna break into the facility, what are you here for?
Shen May and I are on a different mission.
We're looking for something else.
What?
Proof that will expose a conspiracy by the US Government.
Treason. Fun.
I'll be sure to put that in my report.
It won't do you any good.
They'll just cover it up, like they always do.
And you know how good they are at covering things up.
They're the bad guys here.
Where's your proof?
That's what we're here for.
And you're going to help us get it.
You want my help?
You just killed a sub full of people.
Remember when I told you about terror?
It starts with fear.
You cultivate it, and you watch it spread, and then...
then you've got terror.
You can tell them all about it at your court-martial.
So you're not gonna help us, then?
Nope.
Dammit.
