Last Resort

Marcus Chaplin will never fire on a U.S. Navy ship.

Fire one.

No, belay that. Do not fire.

You disobeyed my order?

When I'm on the Conn, my word is law!

I did this for you.

COB, you know we wouldn't make a move without your go,

but terminating the Captain's command

may be an option we have to consider.

Everybody, say hello to the XO.

Marcus isn't dying. I need to know everything.

Welcome to the deep end of the pool.

Senior Chief Petty Officer Harold Anders,

you're hereby relieved of duty.

If it were up to me, it'd be a lot worse.

I won't have an admitted rapist walk free on my boat.

I'll see you in hell, sir.

Did they send you here to kill me?

Yes, sir.

I have enemies, Cortez.

I am not one of them.

You'll no longer be at the mercy of the United States.

At the mercy of the current administration.

Don't ever confuse my nation with its current ruler.

There are people, powerful people,

who are gathering right now, organizing a coup d'etat.

Tomorrow a marine force recon contingent

will place the President and the Vice President under arrest.

Now, Mr. Speaker, you will announce

that you are assuming the presidency.

This is really happening, isn't it?

Ohh.

Do you really think we're making it better?

The sex? (CHUCKLES)

The world.

I mean, we're...

We're gonna...

Orchestrate a coup.

You can say it out loud.

It's the saying it part that worries me.

If you're gonna get maudlin,

then I'm going to breakfast barn.

Our meeting's not for another three hours.

And you can stop pretending

that I'm the only one who's nervous.

I'm not nervous.

No. I've been having sex in a random hotel room all night

because the thought of sharing a wiki page with John Wilkes booth,

that really does it for me.

We're not shooting anyone. Not today.

All it takes is for one thing to go wrong.

We're really gonna do this, aren't we?

Yep.

We are...

Today. (SIGHS)

The only reason I fired on a U.S. Navy vessel was to protect the supplies,

to feed my people.

I'm not your ally, Zheng.

Ally, friend... Whatever you call it, Captain,

I see the beginning of a new change.

Something in the air.

You forced me into a dangerous PR stunt.

I fail to appreciate its subtleties.

Well, you provided for those in need.

And today a new supply ship is out there waiting to unload.

And right here, celebrations unfold for you.

This has nothing to do with me.

It's an island holiday... The festival of sun and moon.

Mm. Well, you know your island well.

You've been buttering my bread pretty good this morning.

Do you employ the same strategies

in your meeting with Mr. Serrat?

Well, different strokes for different folks, Captain.

What's he after?

That would be telling.

There's only one big dog on this island, Mr. Zheng, and you're looking at him.

Don't make the mistake of trying to play both sides.

Make your choice now.

The soil here has tested very rich in some rare minerals.

Mr. Serrat wants my help in exploiting those resources.

And you promised him what? Nothing.

As you pointed out, only one of you has nuclear teeth.

Perhaps you and I can discuss a partnership.

Panning for gold, Mr. Zheng?

Compared to these minerals, gold is cheap.

I'm talking about economic freedom,

the end of want.

So far, you've only ruled here by threat of violence.

How long can fear be the only currency you possess?

All right.

I'm listening.

You need to eat.

I'm sure you haven't had anything in days. I eat. I'm fine.

Do you sleep? Sophie, please.

Because you don't seem fine.

I'm fine.

Look, if you want to talk about your wife or anything...

What, you want to talk about Serrat?

You want to talk about that?

Are you living with him now, is that it?

Yes, but it's not what you think.

It's more complicated. It's more complicated. Okay.

The man is a killer, Sophie. He is scum of the earth, okay?

And you're letting him show you off like he owns you.

Is that what you want? I know what I'm doing.

Hi.

Hi.

Where you been for the last week?

I was, um,

at my father's with my brother.

Had a few things to sort through.

Is everything all right?

Yeah.

Well, no.

It will be.

I wasn't expecting you to still be here.

Are you kidding?

It's the closest bed to the only bar in town.

I'm, um, I'm leaving.

I'm actually here just to... To pack a few things.

I'm leaving the island.

Why?

I'm taking my brother back to Australia.

A lot's changed.

It's not safe here anymore.

Because of all us cowboys.

Yeah.

Because of all you cowboys.

I wish I could stay, but I can't,

and I know you can't leave.

I'll go.

You don't have to say that.

No.

You know, I want to go with you...

Wherever you're going.

Tani,

I'll go.

If you want.

State-of-the-art scrambler

I borrowed from the company a while back.

Very handy when you're dating a bullfighter

against your father's wishes.

Well, if this communication is intercepted...

Don't worry.

As long as you can get Chaplin on the other end, you're good to go.

He'll be there.

A friend of a friend is helping me out.

All right, Cortez. I'm here.

I've cleared the room. Where's my mystery guest?

I don't know, sir.

I was only told it was vital to bring you here for this.

Arthur.

You're the last person I expected to see.

Well, I apologize for the extreme security,

but I think you'll appreciate the effort

once I explain the situation.

Why aren't you in custody for killing Amanda Straugh?

Marcus, listen, friends are gathering.

A patriotic force will depose President Bolton

at a joint session of Congress today.

Now what we need from you is...

Arthur, you know that I've had nothing but tricks and traps thrown at me.

How do I know there's not a gun to your head right now?

Well, you don't have to trust me. Just watch.

Now certain facts have recently come to light,

like what really happened in Pakistan and to your boat.

The truth is coming out.

And once it does, it'll be time to bring you home.

Sir?

You do want to come back, don't you?

I would like nothing better.

All right. Well, get ready to make a statement later today,

because when this comes to a head,

the world's gonna want to hear from you.

Asia is a powder keg, so bringing you

and your nuclear missiles happily home

is gonna ease a lot of tension.

Just wish us fair winds.

And following seas.

Okay.

So I'll check in on the military stations.

But essentially the pieces are already in place.

Now we just let our little revolution out into the world

and see if she can stand on her own.

This is insane. I'm not a revolutionary.

I'm just a gun salesman.

I mean, I'm a very good gun salesman,

but I'm just a gun salesman. Stop it.

The woman who accosted me in the DOD rotunda,

worrying about her weapons system,

that was a gun salesman.

But the one in front of me now...

Forrest is missing.

And I don't mean, like, overslept.

No one knows where the hell she is.

Okay, but that could be anything, right?

Forrest's job was to get your flash drive to Speaker Buell

and present it on the floor of the house with him.

Now Buell's already on the fence.
