Dash! Dash!
Dash!
Oh, shit
Cover me!
Miller!
Is that it?
Project 725
If you provide a server powerful enough,
the AI will run off this
So small, yet so powerful
This
is how we change the world
Need some help up here, hurry!
Miller!
Don't leave me!
You did it Good job, good job
Boy
Derek Miller
- Donovan Chalmers - Pleasure
Welcome to Chapter House
I read up on you
Impressive stuff
Just doing my duty
Spoken like a true soldier
Well, it takes one to know one, right?
Ah, you did your homework
Yes, sir
It's not every day you get to meet a ground and pounder
turned CEO
75th Regiment, Task Force Ranger
B Company
Mogadishu?
Mogadishu,
Somalia, Bosnia
Iraq
Quite the career change
Why the switch?
Hm
Family life
changes everything
Yeah
Your refrence spoke very highly of you
Is that right?
And who was it that referred me?
I did, you son of a bitch
Fox! Look at you
Uh-oh
"Suits and ties are for pussies"
Oh, man
Maggie wanted me out of the game while I still had all my limbs
- Wives - Yeah, tell me about it
She made me sell my soul for a fancy 401(k)
- Looking good - Thank you, brother
- It's good to see you - You too
- Right - Hey, Fox
Yes, sir?
Walk Derek through the proposal
I'm sure you recognize your old friend,
the Pardoner
The terrorist revolutionary who's been raising hell
all over the globe for the past two years
How could I forget him?
He put a bullet in my back
Still have the scar to prove it
What's this have to do with Chapter House?
Last week, the Pardoner stole
a piece of Chapter House technology
A piece of proprietary tech that we do not need in hands like his
Why's that?
Could be bad
"Could be bad?" Bad for who?
Bad for you?
Bad for everyone
Flight 314
Crashed off the coast,
no survivors
Now, we have reason to believe that the Pardoner is liable
Now, fortunate for us,
we put a fail-safe on the trigger of the device,
just in case for circumstances like this
That's good, right?
Yeah
but there's only one man that has the code to decrypt it
And now that man is a high-value target
That man is me
The board put a trip on the books for Mr Chalmers
to check out a site for a new factory
Now, it's an old warehouse
that they're dying to tear down, but we need to act fast
Tax incentives, credits, rebates
Billions on the line
So, what?
You want me and my team to babysit you?
Come on
Hey This is a lay-up
Okay, maybe nothing happens,
but you and your team, you go in,
you go home with an easy payday
Or maybe
Maybe you get another chance to go another round with the Pardoner
I don't know, Nick
We don't usually do security detail
Come on I need you on this one
Can't you call in some favors?
Get a couple more teams involved?
The Pardoner is a former Tier-1 turned radical
His influences run deep
Now, we can't risk the possibility of infiltration
I can trust you
I can't say the same thing about my other contacts
Remember Darfur?
I'm the one that saved your ass
I figured you owe me on this one
Chapter House has unlimited resources
We're prepared to offer you a very lucrative contract
Lots of zeroes, buddy
Lots of zeroes
Okay
If we do this, we do it my way
You clue me in on everything
And everything goes through me
No questions asked
Then you'll do it?
Yeah
Uh, Crystal, can I have two beers?
- Sure - Thank you
What'd you do last night?
A little bit of laundry
- Party girl - Yeah
You got anything for tonight planned?
Washing the dog
Okay
All right, well, I'll catch you later
Have fun with your dog
Your usual, honey?
Yes, please
Club soda with lime
Thank you
What's wrong? You seem down
Just stuff
What's up, buddy? Nice to see you
Dude, do you think I should talk to her?
- Her? - Yeah
Oh, absolutely
You can't let a girl like that drink by herself now, can ya?
Uh
What do you think
Listen, listen
That's not just some girl
That's a woman A real woman
Now, you be brave
And you slide right over there,
you look her in the fucking eyes,
you kiss her
All right?
Chicks love that shit
Go get 'em, big guy
- There you go! - Fuck it!
You are an asshole
This should be interesting
Hey
Ooh
Don't you fucking put your hand on me
Jesus, Sasha
Really, Dash?
Let him go, Sash
Fuck
We've got business to discuss
Look, I know I'm asking a lot
Last time, we got our asses kicked by the Pardoner
We lost our VIP
And if you remember correctly,
you almost came home in a body-bag
Is this some sort of revenge thing?
That doesn't feel like you, man
It's a job Nothing personal
Listen, I don't give a flying fuck if you've got a score to settle
This is a shit-ton of money we're talking about here
- That's right - Life-changing
I'm in
And what about you two?
You know, it's "all for one and one for all"
Right?
I don't know I feel like we're not getting the full story
And I want to know what this Pardoner guy stole
We all do
But that ain't the job
This is strictly VIP protection
Easy money
But why the skeleton crew?
Wouldn't it make more sense to have a presence?
I'm with Fox on this one
You know, going in with a full kit
could intimidate the city council on site
Might even look bad for Chalmers, too
Do we have to bring the corporate stooge?
We go way back
He's good in a fight Trust me
All right
If you want another shot at the Pardoner,
I got your back, boss
Look, you know I'd go anywhere to bust some skulls with you guys
But this thing ain't right
Being rushed out there, no prep
Sasha, you can do this if you want
- I'm out - Harrison, you're right,
but this payday is a game-changer
Wouldn't you want to spend the rest of the year
not getting shot at for once?
I mean, think about it
Come on
Do it for me
Fuck
There we go
See? That's what brothers are for
To keep their sisters out of trouble
Such a heartwarming moment
All right Crystal!
Another round of shots
Hey, Crystal, make it two
You buying?
We'll send the bill to Chapter House
I hear that
- Hoo-ha! - Hoo-ha!
What a shithole!
Not loving the spot, boss
Lot of windows,
lots of places to hide
Less time here, the better
Where's our rendezvous, Fox?
You said we were meeting the building manager?
Mr Chalmers?
Tell 'em
There is no building manager
There is no rendezvous
- Fuckin' knew it - What the hell is this about, Fox?
The Pardoner
- He's coming here - Hold on
You knew the Pardoner was coming
and you didn't bring the fucking cavalry?
We are the cavalry
A cavalry that's outmanned and with limited firepower
So, this was all a set-up?
We did what we had to
Posing as civilians was the only way
that we could get a team in range
This will work
If the Pardoner saw us come with the authorities
he may have pulled back
It had to be a small security team
It had to be you, Miller
Great No service
You guys are Chapter House, can't you move a satellite or something?
Probably just the Pardoner jamming the signals
So we're bait
No You're not the bait
I am
Of all people
I expected you to understand
When this is all over, you're gonna see why it has to be this way
You lied to me
I had no choice
I know you, Miller
All you ex-jarheads-turned-PMCs
You're all the same
You come back stateside and still want to live the life,
but it's not about God and country,
it's about how much money you can make
Well, you're getting paid
So do your job
You put my team in danger
They have families, lives
And you brought us here unprepared
After everything we've been through
Have any of you checked your bank accounts?
Half the money up-front Just like you wanted
We get out of this alive
and you get the other half
It's not about the money
Who wants to beat the shit out of this guy?
Me Anyone else?
- Gladly - I'll have a piece
Come and get it
Leave him alone
It doesn't matter how you got here
If you want to survive, we're gonna have to work together
I just want to know why
That son of a bitch
is using my daughter to get to me
You got kids, Miller?
You'd do anything for 'em
Right?
Right now, my baby's in trouble
We got a fight coming to us
And Harrison's right
We're outmanned, outgunned
But the fight's still coming
whether we like it or not
Let's get you someplace safe
This'll do
Still know how to use this?
Don't worry about me, soldier
Just go get my little girl, all right?
No matter what happens, don't open this door
Miller, please
We'll get your daughter I promise
I know you will, Miller
Anything happens to my team,
I'm coming after you
Wouldn't have it any other way
Let's move
Time to shake off the rust, buddy
Come in
We've lost connection with our scouts
Apparently, Chalmers and his friends are more resourceful
than we thought
Time for a new strategy
I hope you're ready
We're moving
Eyes on how many?
Hard to say I count ten
Maybe more Too much cover out there
Layered attacks They'll come in waves
They'll save the big attack for when we get desperate
You know I hate to say, I told you so
A check that big and that fast, there's always strings attached
I let my friendship with Fox get the better of me
You know what? Fuck 'em
Money already hit our bank accounts
Let's just make a run for it Let Fox and his boss
- fend for themselves - No
No
But I'm not doing this for Fox or Chalmers
It's hard to look a man in the eye
who asks for help to save his family and tell him no
Besides, we don't run from fights
Hooo-rah
That must be Eva
Come on
It's Eva
We've gotta get her now
Hey, hey Look
Give me some cover fire and I'll grab her
Slow down
The Pardoner is smart That's exactly what he wants
So, what, we're just gonna let her stand there?
No
Eva, are you okay?
Who are you?
Nicholas Fox
I'm sorry
I didn't mean for any of this to happen
I just wanted to test it in the field
What's she talking about?
Look, none of that matters right now Okay
We've all come to bring you home
My dad isn't here, is he?
Please tell me that my dad isn't here
It was the only way to get you
Me?
Or Project 725?
Enough!
Nice to see you again, Miller
How's the back?
Seven pounds
That's the amount of pressure required to pull a trigger
Just like that
It's all over
Look, you leave her out of this, okay?
If you want Chalmers, you come and get him, bitch
In due time
My men fight for a cause, for a purpose
For a New World Order
We know what's at stake
Do you?
When your men learn the truth, will they stay by your side?
Will you stay, Derek?
And what truth is that?
That you're a psychopath?
This facility is a security nightmare
Lots of ways in
Hard to protect
Just remember
We have all the weaponry, all the manpower
And all the leverage
Now, I'm giving you one hour to bring me Chalmers
and the code to Project 725, or it's going to get messy
No, hey!
Not now
I'll see you soon, Miller
Did you find her? Is she okay?
She's alive For now
What's Project 725?
Tell me
Look I told both of you, that if I was gonna take this job,
I needed to know everything
And all I keep hearing is lie after lie
Tell me what the fuck's going on
Project 725 is an artificial intelligence system
Not just an AI system
It's a quantum AI
Wait, you cracked a two-state quantum system?
How about we cut the geek-speak
It's binary on steroids
What? I subscribe to TechCrunch
It was my daughter's project
Fresh out of MIT
And she built something way beyond me
And then she stole it
Eva
Eva was confused
Angry about a lot of things
She's just got too much of me in her
So you tried to take the AI from her, but instead
she brought it to the Pardoner
The board
They just saw the project differently
Very differently
And here we are
Yeah
Here we are
I know you're upset
You came to me for help
You wanted me to help you change the world
That's what I'm doing
I reached out to you because I wanted to test
Project 725 in the field
To prove that it worked
To prove that it would help people
And you promised me that
And you lied
That is exactly what I'm doing
We are fighting for the same cause
Why do you not see that?
You wanna use your technology to fix society
To fix what is already sick
We have the opportunity to make real change, but in order
to find a cure for the sickness, we have to know the cause
Greed is the root of all pain
Of all suffering, of all evil
Pharmaceutical companies enhance their drugs to become
more addictive
Politicians are lining their pockets while homeless people
flood the streets
I am not the bad guy
I am a saint
compared to the pain and misery they cause every second,
of every minute of every day
You wanna find a cure for this sickness, I am telling you
what it is
With the code from Chalmers, we can burn it
Burn it all to the ground
Aren't you tired of being a pawn?
Time's up Send them in
Courtesy of our recently deceased friends
Nice
Even with the extra guns and ammo,
it's gonna be a tough fight
And the sun's going down fast,
so they'll be knocking on our door before we know it
Derek
It's okay, we got it
This isn't your fault
Yeah, I'm not so sure about that
I talked you all into this
Actually, I'm pretty sure it was the gold-covered carrot
they dangled
Which you all agreed on
Guys, we all decided to come, remember?
Look, still got your back, boss
Well, if we're gonna survive, we gotta be nimble
Use the location to our advantage
We'll never make it through the night if we take them head-on
Let's do this
Where do you think you're going, pal?
Let's go
Come on, you sons of bitches
Go
Side and main entrances are compromised
Are you sure about this plan?
Are you doubting the cause?
No, it's just
We're losing good men
I feel their pain, but you know what's at stake here
Their sacrifices won't be forgotten
Trust me
Take a few men and go around the side entrance
Signal when you're inside
Copy that
B team, let's roll out
We're here, back entrance of the sub-basement
Let's go
Time's up, Miller
Where's Chalmers?
Hold your fire, or she dies
How much is Chalmers paying you, Miller?
How much is enough?
You're out here putting your life on the line
Your team's lives on the line
And for what?
Money?
More money
You are sheep You are slaves to a machine
You're slaves to those who run it all
for their mass profits, while you cling to the pennies
that fall from their pockets
I'm gonna make you an offer, Miller
Just put your weapons down and fight with me
You can have a seat at the table and fight for something
that actually matters
Fox!
Tear this place apart
Fox
Sasha, get down
Listen to me He wouldn't want you dead either
Let's go Come on
Eva?
He's still alive! Cover me!
Over there!
Eva, get down
Hang in there, big guy
Come on
Over there
What the hell were you thinking?
I wasn't
Hey
Tell Maggie I'm sorry
I just tried to get it in one more time
But I guess she was right
I should have stayed my ass behind the bench
Hold it Put pressure on it Come on
Don't let that terrorist son of a bitch find Chalmers
You can't let him start Project 725
Promise me
Miller
Boss, we gotta go, it's getting hot out there
Let's go Come on
Fuck him Let the bastard die
He got Harrison killed
If he hadn't lied to us and manipulated you,
my brother would still be alive
That asshole got exactly what he deserved
Sasha
Don't
That's my brother's dead body out there
Mine
You told me to trust you
Harrison knew
He knew this job was wrong from the start
And I talked him into it
We all have his blood on our hands now
Especially you
Hey Hey, where do you think you're going?
I'm not leaving him out there for those animals
That's suicide
Listen, I would give you time, but we don't have any
Please
Fine
What's our next move?
Stay here
I'm gonna go find Eva
I can't believe this
We'll be okay
No
Dad, what don't you get right now?
I mean, this is my fault
It's my fault
You should've come to me first, Eva
I wanted to but I didn't know what you would say
You've never trusted me
Sometimes I feel like you loved your company
more than you loved anything else
If you ever thought that,
I'm sorry
Well,
if we make it out of here,
I want you to tell me
why you still have that ring on
To remember
Mom left you a really long time ago, Dad
Mistakes
Really, lots of
Many mistakes
I can't let myself forget
I guess we both have a hard time letting things go
Well, like father, like daughter
What was that?
- Get in - Are you serious?
Get in, yes Just trust me
- Are you not coming? - No, they need me
Go, now
Be careful
Drop it, Chalmers
If you kill me
Project 725 is dead
You're right
I can't kill you
That is gonna pale in comparison
to what I do to you
if you don't give me the code
Pick him up
Halt!
Still not talking?
It's all right
Not quite finished setting up yet, anyways
Look Donovan
Do you mind if I call you Donovan?
You and I both know there's nothing I can do to you
to make you give me that code
The more time you wait,
the more time I have to find Eva
And when I do,
I'm going to torture her
And I'm going to make you watch the entire thing
You'll beg me to use Project 725
by the time I'm done with her
I can promise you that
You wanna torture somebody?
Torture me
You leave her out of this
Fuck this
Over here
Come on We're needed at base camp
Oh
Eyes on Dr Chalmers North hallway
We're closing in on her now
Oh, it looks like our guests are arriving early
Don't underestimate my daughter
She's full of surprises
Shh!
I'm not one of them
Derek Miller
- You're Fox's friend? - That's right
- I'm sorry - No time for apologies
We gotta move All right?
- Okay - Come on
Sir, we lost her She just vanished
Please explain to me how you lost her
I keep saying, good help ain't easy to find
Are you hacked into the cameras yet?
Almost
Bringing up the live feed
Wait a second She's She's gone
Explain to me how that is possible
I don't know
It's like she just vanished into thin air
She vanished
Find her!
And get me a new walkie
No, no, whoa! Hey, it's me
Eva
Tell 'em what you told me
The Pardoner has my father
My dad is one of the strongest,
most hard-willed men that I've ever met
But these last few days, I've seen how dangerous the Pardoner is
and I've seen just how badly he wants the access codes
to Project 725
Please
I don't know how much longer my dad can hold off
We can't let the Pardoner control Project 725
- We just can't - Why?
What's so fuckin' special about this computer anyways?
When we created it,
I wanted to use it to revolutionize the way that we live
To help our government run more efficiently,
our economy, every aspect of society
And it is more than capable of doing those things
I know that it can
I tried to convince the board
to give me the funds for a trial run
My dad even backed me up They voted him down
All they kept thinking about was the money they could make
to flip it to the military
They wanted to turn it into a weapon
Exactly
I couldn't let them do that,
not after how hard I'd worked
to bring about something good
I just kept thinking
if I could show them the data,
if they could see it, then they would understand
Did you ever test it in the field?
Once
Flight 314
The Pardoner triggered the crash remotely
and got a taste of its power
Luckily, I was able to stop him from going further
by initiating the fail-safe
And what else does the Pardoner want to do with it?
I wanted to save the world with Project 725
He wants to use it to burn it to the ground
What do you mean?
She means that he plans on using the program
to wipe out everything
Financial records, bank statements, communications
Jesus
It would send us back to the Stone Ages
Exactly
You see, the Pardoner believes
that if he resets everything to zero,
that that's the only way that it will save society
Wipe everything out, start with a clean slate
Unbelievable
And the Pardoner can do all this?
If your dad gives him the fail-safe?
I've made a terrible mistake and I realize that now
This is a power humanity is not ready for
We're the only ones that can stop him
So I am begging you, please help me
It's been a long time since we fought
for something other than a payday
But maybe that's why we're here now
Maybe that's why all this shit happened
This
This is something worth fighting for
My brother died today
This
This is the fight that Harrison would want
He'd wanna stop the Pardoner
And that's what I'm gonna do
I'm all in, boss I'll do whatever it takes
to make that happen
Dash?
How do you want to play it, boss?
I know that you guys are the experts,
but I have an idea
When did you see the schematics?
The Pardoner had blueprints
He's been casing this place for days
waiting for my dad
So, you're drawing this all based on memory?
It's a little crude
but it should give us a good idea of the space
The control room
This is where the main power to the building runs from
Hard to run a computer if we cut the power
You think it will work?
It has to
Clear!
Fan out! Eyes open!
Miller, hold there!
The control room's that way
Okay, let's go Move
I see another one
Shit!
Derek Miller
Your resolve is impressive
You truly do not know when to quit
It's admirable
Stupid
But admirable
But did you really think
we wouldn't notice the security cameras going out?
Look, I'm assuming Dr Chalmers is with you
That's good
My guards are moving into position
so I'm gonna make you a limited-time offer
Hand her over to me and you live
You get to walk out
You and your team, go on, do whatever you wanna do
I'll be waiting
We gotta get off his radar
Any suggestions?
Yeah
This way's clear They must've gone down there
All clear
Not too bad, Miller
Got it?
Dash, Eva, you're up
This is one complex and out-of-date grid
Yeah, it is
All units, converge on the generator room
Any time now
Try not to get electrocuted, boss
My patience is wearing thin, Miller
Just pull it
My offer to let you live is officially revoked
- Come on, Dash - Just pull it
Come on, they're coming Let's go!
Fuck it
Well Fuck
All right
What happened?
We lost all power
Come out, you're surrounded!
Is something funny?
Can't figure it out?
Yeah
It's gonna be, you know, pretty hard to launch your little toy there
Bring me the back-up generator from camp
Yes, sir
On second thought
I'm coming with you
No more mistakes
Okay, this is it
We make our move while they're distracted by the power
- We nab Chalmers and get the hell out of here - Yeah
But what about Project 725?
We leave it with the bad guys?
They'll still be coming after Chalmers
I think I know what to do about that
Let's take it Sell it on the black market
You can't do that
Dash!
What the hell are you doing?
Dash
Money's not gonna bring Harrison back
No, but it won't hurt, either
Call it hazard pay
Dash, come on
I can't let you do this, man
I'm sorry, Miller
I gotta do this by myself
Don't do this
Dash, no!
- Dash? - Dash!
Come on
Dash!
Oh, shit! Take cover!
I don't know why you think
this is gonna end any differently
than the last time we met, Miller
It's time for Eva to go see Daddy
so he can give me the code
Hold your fire
I got what you want
The money for the girl
We got a deal?
Smart move, soldier
Hand her over
- We have a deal? - Yeah, we got a deal
Kill him Go
Cover me!
No! Dash
- I'm not ready to die Sash - Goddammit!
Oh, Jesus Christ!
You're hit
Come on, we got to move! Now!
Some rescue, huh?
I told you to run
You should know by now I don't listen to you
I told you I'd find her, Chalmers
Do you know why they call me the Pardoner?
Anyone?
The Canterbury Tales
Two Ivy League diplomas and no one knows The Pardoner's Tale
Once upon a time,
three men,
distraught over the death of their friend,
form a pact of brotherhood
To seek out and kill death
A wise man tells them
death can be found under the oak tree
in the grove
When they arrive,
all they find
is a pile of gold
Two of the men
greedily kill the third
so they could split the treasure between themselves
Unfortunately,
after they kill their friend,
they drink the wine he'd poisoned
and they both die
Some pact of brotherhood
I'm just the wise man
pointing to the oak tree
You're pretty sick, aren't you?
Sick fucking terrorist,
that's what you are
You like that?
All of my acts of so-called "terror"
have been to level the playing field
When the generator is running
and Project 725 is back online,
you're going to give me the code
What the
What happened?
Fuck Just wrap me up
Find me a gun and let's fucking go
I love your enthusiasm,
but you're not going anywhere
The fuck I'm not
Hey! They know our location
It's only a matter of time before they find us here
And I'm not losing anyone else tonight
I'll draw their attention
Keep them as far away from here as I can
When you think it's clear, get the hell out
I'll meet you back at the edge of the road when it's all over
No way
This is all my fault
But I'm gonna fix it
This time I'm putting a bullet in the Pardoner
Put a second one in there for me, too
And for Harrison
Hooah
What about Eva and Chalmers?
I told you I got this
Um
I know it may not mean much now, but, uh
for what it's worth, I just want to say
I'm sorry
For everything
Sir Generator is back online
Here we are, Project 725
Awaiting activation code
You sure about this?
'Cause once we do this,
there's no going back
That's the point
A lot of innocent people are going to die
Two years
we've spent working on this
The time,
all of the resources,
all of the lives lost
would be for nothing
If you don't want to be a part of it, then say it
Say it!
I do
I'm gonna give you one last chance, Chalmers
Give me the code
Don't do it, Dad
Yeah, Dad Don't do it
You're not gonna shoot her
Not if you want the code
You have no idea what I will do
You're only delaying the inevitable
Tell me!
Tell me, you motherfucker!
Now!
- Don't - Tell me the code
No, Dad Dad, don't tell him
Don't tell him Don't tell him
Fine
- I'm sorry - No
- Don't tell him, don't - I'll do it
I'll give you the goddamn code
Good
It worked We're in
With the push of a button
everything changes
So, what do we destroy first?
Good question
