Man:
get those lights on.
Situation?
Intel was spot-on.
Unfortunately, we were
too late
To warn the hollibrown
security personnel.
- Bad guy still inside?
- Yes,
but this time we got him.
no one has entered
or exited.
- Except for my guys.
- We haven't seen anyone, sir.
You're not
supposed to.
Just arrived
at the loading dock.
How many are there?
Got medium numbers
in the vault area,
Heavy on the second floor.
Scattered teams on the first
and basement.
- Latham and I
have the front.
- Okay.
You three,
round the back.
You two, follow me.
You, stay here.
- Are we ready?
- All clear.
[ dog barking distantly ]
Give me the number.
Man:
two four six six.
- [ Grunts ]
- [ bones cr*ck ]
Ghost squad
in position.
We need a prisoner,
daniel.
- Alive.
- 10-four.
Leave one breathing.
Thank you,
brother.
[ Swallows, exhales ]
We've been
discovered.
[ police radio chatter ]
We need
one alive.
[ g*nf*re ]
All clear!
[ Groaning ]
Ready.
Go go go!
Keep this safe
with you at all times.
Hello, danny.
[ Growling, grunting ]
How did you
know my name?
You're responsible
for ann's death,
And like the rest,
you must pay.
Edward? It can't be you.
You can't be alive.
I must be.
He's alive.
Two dead.
Where's barcroft?
- He just--
- [ screams ]
[ engine turns over ]
We will come
for you, brother.
[ Button clicks ]
Man:
you really don't need to go
to all this trouble, man.
I got a great place
for snakeskin boots.
That's very funny.
I spent the last
five years of my life
working on this research.
I'm glad
to see it pay off.
The snake's
a genetic hybrid
Created with
reconstructed dna
Extracted directly
from human stem cells.
After the snake molts,
We spray the skin with
a dna-rich chemical mist
Which, in theory,
should allow it to bond
Directly to the injured
human tissue.
could you imagine
Being able to repair
injured human skin or tissue?
For burn victims?
[ Exhales ]
Hey, edward,
what are you--?
[ Grunts ]
I can save her.
They don't look
too happy, do they?
The experiments trigger
the latent part of the brain
wired for aggression,
As well as increasing
physical strength
and endurance.
I heard the government
is cutting off
stem cell money.
[ Sighs ]
politicians.
Short-sighted fools.
We need more money,
not less.
I could call
paul davis.
The senator?
- How do you know him?
- He's an old friend.
He put in a good word
to help me get
into the n.s.a.
Tell him he's late
on the rent.
Supposed to get
the grant check last week.
No problem.
Lunch?
I have to
see my sister.
[ keyboard clicking ]
Ah.
Any changes?
I'll see you later.
how is she today?
Woman over p.a.:
dr. Lanigan, report
to emergency.
- See you later.
- Okay, susan. See you.
Hey.
Who are they?
Brother, husband.
Get used to them.
Here every day.
Poor girl.
Car wreck.
b*rned from head to toe.
In a coma now for months,
barely hanging on.
[ Chuckles ]
daniel, it's good
to hear from you.
Oh, one sec, dan.
- Here you go, sir.
- Thank you, lydia.
Well, hey,
you know, actually
I was wondering when
I was gonna get to see you.
Yeah yeah.
I promise, paul,
Next time I'm in d.c.,
I'll be there.
Promises, promises. Okay.
I'm gonna hold you to that.
Okay.
Listen, one last thing:
- You know the edward
bartlett project?
- I'm familiar with it.
yeah, he's a friend
of mine.
Well, he said
his grant money
hasn't arrived yet.
Um, it's shutting down.
- Completely?
- I'm afraid so, daniel.
It's a bigger issue.
He was gonna be notified
later on this week.
no, but this could be
a huge breakthrough
for burn victims.
Are you sure there isn't
anything you can do?
It's out of my hands.
I'm sorry.
I've seen it firsthand.
He's really close.
Look, daniel,
it's out of my hands.
He needs to hear this
from a friend.
give me 48 hours before
you lower the boom, okay?
- 48 Hours is fine.
- thanks, paul.
- I'm sorry.
- Bye.
- So what did you tell him?
- Ed, it's budget time.
the grant term hasn't
expired yet, daniel.
- Why didn't you say something?
Why didn't you fight for me?
- I did everything I could do.
I'm sorry.
[ birds chirping ]
Edward... Tom.
I'm so sorry
for your loss.
Listen, if there's
anything I can do...
I knew it was you.
Five years,
And now they're gonna
take you from me.
They'll drive you
to a warehouse somewhere,
Where they'll
dismantle you
And put you
on a shelf somewhere.
And no one
will ever see you
Or touch you
ever again.
[ Sighs ]
[ Beeping ]
[ Growling ]
[ chatter ]
Man: make sure
the structure is sound.
let's get the search
and rescue dogs over
on the other side...
A survivor!
Over here!
[ Siren wailing ]
[ Horn sounds ]
[ clamoring ]
Man:
keep this hallway clear.
Bring him in.
Please, ma'am,
you cannot go in there.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Get back.
Paddles ready!
Let's get him up
on this table here.
[ Clamoring ]
Give me some
stats on this guy.
What are his vitals?
Anybody have
a medical history on him?
Get the o.r. Ready.
Get him out of here.
come on,
let's move it.
- Doc--
- just a second.
Give me barcroft's
chart, please.
Okay, so how is he?
[ Sighs ]
his lower pelvis,
legs are completely crushed.
so we implanted titanium
platinum alloy hips, knees,
Used 37 screws...
And he'll survive.
Is he gonna walk?
Well, we have some
amazing new procedures
Using chemical, radiation
treatments to speed up
growth and healing--
Highly experimental,
very dangerous.
Do it.
Now, today.
Wait wait wait.
When do we get to see him?
As soon as he wakes up.
He's in recovery right now.
Can I have that
chart please?
Thank you.
The other prisoner--
when can I interrogate him?
Well, he's not able
to talk right now.
Well, then your first job
is to make him able.
What's my second?
Get daniel back
on his feet a.s.a.p.
I warned you
not to get involved.
Life happens.
Not in the ghost squad.
Right.
Excuse me, you can't--
[ Screams ]
[ Grunts ]
[ Loudly whispering ]
where is he?
[ Groans ]
he's in room 225.
[ monitor beeping ]
[ Sobbing ]
Shh.
You don't have
to be afraid.
You're too beautiful
to be afraid.
I like the way
you taste.
Don't forget me...
'Cause I'm not
going to forget you.
[ rising pitch ]
Let me help you
on your journey
To the next world...
Old friend.
[ alarm beeping ]
[ Grunts ]
[ Grunts ]
[ alarm beeping ]
[ Groans ]
[ alarm stops ]
[ monitor beeping ]
Now I have the key.
Rest, brother.
[ Beeping ]
[ Squealing ]
I didn't join the n.s.a.
To ride a desk.
You should feel lucky
just to be alive.
I have no idea
how you survived all
that radiation without any
noticeable side effects.
- Noticeable?
- well,
sometimes radiation side
effects aren't apparent
for weeks, months,
Even years later.
Now the injuries to your legs
may not be permanent.
You're healing
faster than we expected.
But it's still going to be
months of physical therapy
before you can even limp,
And that's with crutches.
I think you should know that.
Everyone just
get out of here. Just...
Can I stay?
[ Chuckles ]
You know what?
This isn't just
about you, okay?
Okay.
More more.
- No, you come to me.
- Yeah, right.
Come on, tough guy.
Come, give me a kiss.
Come on.
I know this sounds
impossible,
But I think that python
is edward bartlett.
Your friend?
I thought he was k*lled
in a lab fire.
When I was at hollibrown,
python said,
Everyone responsible
for ann's death would pay.
Ann was edward's sister.
edward blamed
the government
For ann's death.
I don't get the connection.
The government cancelled
his research funding.
When I told edward,
he thought I was responsible.
No. You need to rest.
I will go and I will try
to find any connection
Between edward
and python, okay?
Okay.
[ birds chirping ]
Tell me again
why I have to stay
in the safehouse.
Look, man, it's
for your own protection.
[ Groans ]
you sound so official,
brian.
I'd be much better
in an office.
you should concentrate
on getting well.
Besides, I think
you're gonna like it here.
Your nurse is
a real sweetheart.
I don't need
a babysitter.
- Where is she anyway?
- Hi.
- [ Chuckles ]
- how are you?
- How are you?
- I'm good.
Okay, you two,
remember he's here to heal.
Okay, goodnight, dad.
- Hi. It's nice here.
It's comfy.
- Hi.
[ Chuckles ]
Hey, pal,
your game is history.
[ mosquito buzzing ]
Okay, that was
really weird.
What the hell
did I just do?
Whoo!
[ Chuckles ]
Let's see how fast
I really am.
Where am i?
- what happened?
- kind of hoping
you're gonna tell us.
doctor:
you collapsed.
do you remember?
I remember,
on the porch...
We ran a few tests.
You passed out
Due to acute metabolic
stimulation.
And the radiation could have
altered your metabolism,
But your resting
blood pressure
has increased dramatically
over the last 24 hours.
If the trend persists
Then you're on target
for a heart att*ck or stroke.
So what does he do?
Right now
we just wait and see.
your muscles are regrowing
at an incredibly fast rate.
Your bones are setting
even stronger than before.
It's just--
It's taking a while
for the rest of your body
to catch up.
I think your system
will adapt to the new input.
It's just
going to take time.
- Great.
- daniel,
this is
very serious stuff.
I'm talking aneurism,
congestive heart failure,
stroke.
and then you've got this--
this strange sunburn on you.
It actually looks less
like a sunburn and more like...
- ...windburn.
- Exactly.
I see this
on paratroopers who
weren't properly equipped.
I mean, it could be
another side effect
of radiation but...
Anyway, um...
I'm gonna keep you here
for a few days.
And in the meantime,
Nitro-injected
electrolyte-infused
Metabolism

Before, during and after
any kind of exercise at all.
Adrenaline sh*ts--
last resort
in case of a heart att*ck.
Listen, you don't tell
tanner about this.
he'll never let me
back on the ghost squad.
Daniel, do not push yourself.
You've got a lot of rehab left.
That's private, doc.
Patient-doctor.
All right, if you agree
to do me one favor--
Take it easy.
Thanks, doc.
Let me see.
You think
it tastes good?
Python:
welcome back,
general barcroft.
In your absence,
general hayd took over
The coordination
of operation fire sky.
General hayd,
an update.
As you all know,
Hollibrown mission
was a complete success,
Aside from, of course,
your captivity.
We've acquired more
than the necessary amount
of napatonium
from hollibrown
for the fire sky b*mb.
Our tracks were completely
covered by the expl*si*n.
Time to initiate
the next phase
of the operation.
general barcroft,
You are back in command.
But he's still
recovering. I--
Does anyone else
have any other
objections?
Proceed.
A.f. Inc.'S
corporate compound.
- [ Beeping ]
- inside this building
is our target--
A prototype
for the mass ionic field
disperser.
This is the last
piece of the puzzle
for the final phase
of operation fire sky.
Python:
excellent.
Let's get ready to move.
- [ birds chirping ]
- I have complete faith
in you, brother.
Are you
up to this mission?
Of course,
edward.
I mean,
python.
Eenie...
Meenie...
Minie...
Mo.
[ Panting ]
I could get used
to this.
Daniel,
everything okay?
Yeah, just going
for a little exercise.
[ Conversing quietly ]
Here goes nothing.
[ Door bell chimes ]
Hey, bro.
Ooh.
Gnarly sunburn.
Thanks.
I'm looking for a suit,
Uh... Has to be
really aerodynamic,
Has to be able to handle
serious wind speed.
And uh...
I'm trying to break
the land speed record.
I got a rocket pack.
So I need some gear
that can take some
serious speed.
My man, I think I have
what you're looking for.
It's a suit.
And it's in the back.
And I'm gonna
go get it.
[ Whispers ]
rocket pack.
Awesome.
Hey, while you're in that,
I got you some stuff.
There's a pack
for the stuff--
Some socks for the feet;
There's a belt
to hold up your suit;
There's a mask
for your sunburn,
The sunburn;
Some goggles
For the eyes and the--
And some gloves.
You're set.
- Wrong color.
- These?
Too low.
I want higher.
Higher, right.
You can never
get too high.
How's this?
Wrestling boots.
You're set
for takeoff,
my man.
[ Exhales ]
let's open her up
And see
what's under the hood.
[ Door bell chimes ]
- Hey... Diapers?
- Yeah, that aisle
on your left.
- Hands up!
- Get that cash right now!
- Open the safe.
- [ Shouting ]
Just take it easy,
take it easy.
Open up the safe!
Come on, let's go, now!
Now, let's go!
Come on, open it up!
- Man: come on, man, come on!
- hurry up!
Stay right here, man.
Man:
let's go! come on!
Right there.
It's open, it's open.
It's all yours, dudes.
Just take it, take it.
Man:
come on, man, come on.
Take the keys
to my car, I don't care.
It's out back.
[ Chimes ]
- What was that?
- it's all yours, dude.
just take it.
Man: let's go.
yo, let's get out of here.
come on, man.
let's go.
He set the alarm!
Waste him!
- Don't sh**t!
- I haven't seen
you guys' eyes.
I don't know what
you look like, man.
- Don't move!
- Just take it, dude.
- Take what you want.
- Man: you keep him
shut up, man.
[ Whines ]
please, don't sh**t.
- Yo!
- Hey, guys.
Anybody know
where the jerky is?
What the--?
Who do you
think you are?!
[ Grunting ]
[ Siren wailing ]
You, in the mask!
Not good.
We've got you surrounded!
Even worse.
Let the hostages go!
[ Grunts ]
[ Siren wailing ]
[ Grunts ]
Who are you?
Look out!
Hey, son,
you really don't want
to do this.
[ Clicks ]
- Put the g*n down.
- Get away from me, man!
- Put it down
- get away from me!
Wait! No no no.
Don't go back.
- don't go back.
wait, no!
- [ Screams ]
[ police radio chatter ]

[ Knocks ]
You know, this used to be
a respectable newspaper.
Take a look at that crap.
"Lightspeed"?
All the robbers kept
babbling about was this guy--
Here one minute
and gone the next.
Flash of light.
combine that
with a reporter's flair,
And now we gotta deal
with some superhero wannabe
in a leotard.
It's a comic book world,
sir. He might just
come in handy.
Yeah, well,
something's brewing.
I can feel it.
Where were you?
- I just went
to get a little--
- exercise?
You were gone all day.
That's what the nurse said.
Are you crazy?
Are you okay?
I'm just a little tired.
I'm coming up empty
on the python-edward
connection.
I mean, maybe
either you're wrong
Or this guy really knows
how to cover his tracks.
What did tanner say?
Well...
I didn't tell tanner.
It was a long sh*t,
daniel.
You saw him for a second
and you got knocked out
Before the building
collapsed and...
Come on,
you said so yourself.
It was my legs that were
damaged in the accident,
beth, not my eyes.
I need hard evidence
before I can take
this to tanner,
Otherwise he's
gonna blow me right
out of the water.
Then I'm flying solo.
No more exercising.
Ladies and gentlemen,
The mass ionic
dispersal device.
What does it do?
You're all familiar
with the greenhouse effect,
The global rise
in temperature
Due to certain gases
in the atmosphere
Trapping heat energy
from the sun?
The device before you
can be used,
Currently only
on a small scale,
To force
those gases out,
Effectively decreasing
localized temperature.
Observe.
[ High-pitched humming ]
It's freezing in here.
The liquid we have used
is a hybrid prototype
called phalatonium.
it decreases
the temperature.
We've theorized
that the opposite effect
could be obtained
With an isotope
called napatonium.
But why should we want
to produce more hot air?
[ Laughter ]
Shall we step
into the sunshine?
- Woman: oh, absolutely.
- man: please.
Python:
the tour is over.
They look chilly.
Excellent.
Hey, g*ng.
What are you doing here?
You're supposed to be in bed.
I was going crazy
just sitting there.
I needed to get out,
see the old crew,
check on the news.
Nothing new here,
brother.
But you're
moving pretty good.
Rehab's working?
- Yeah, I feel pretty good.
- Finally, the transmitter.
- Transmitter?
- yeah, we had finley
Implant a transmitter
in the prisoner's neck
at the hospital,
use him as bait.
- [ Beeps ]
- hope it'll pay off.
Prisoner, eh?
You got a picture?
Yeah, right here.
He's at the a.f. Compound
right now. Let's roll.
Wait a minute,
I know this guy.
This is tom barcroft.
Well, then your friend's
a python thug, daniel.
you'd better get downstairs
for debriefing.
We'll let you interrogate
what's left of him
when we get back.
Come on, beth.
Beth, this is the--
- This is--
- don't worry about it, okay?
Let us handle this.
You take care of yourself.
Get some rest.
But i--
[ Beeps ]
- See you guys later.
- Good night.
- That was a good meeting.
- Over here.
Take it around the back.
Set the expl*sives.
Take everything
out of the vault.
do not damage the device,
and move quickly.
- Hey.
- Do you have a cigarette?
[ tires screech ]
- [ Siren wailing ]
- five minutes
until we engage.
Backup will be there
in 10.
remember, it's critical
that we we leave someone
out there alive.
Whatever python is up to,
I want to know.
Oh, god.
[ Grunts ]
Light a fire
under your butts, people.
Seems to be a fast ride.
- Copy that, sir.
- Yes, sir.
[ Siren stops ]
Python:
did you know that this was
one my original theories
Before the burn
experiments,
Before I was reborn?
[ Whispers ]
before I was born.
Bring in the replica.
Put this in the vehicle.
Prepare for our exit.
[ Hisses ]
[ Chuckles ]
[ radio chatter ]
- Team one,
left perimeter.
- Roger that.
Team two,
take the right
perimeter.
- You guys head up
the center.
- Yes, sir.
- We got the place surrounded.
- Copy that. We're moving in
on the left flank.
My lead.
I thought I took care of you
at the hospital, daniel.
Obviously I
underestimated you.
Who's daniel?
I don't know what--
- Who's daniel?
- Do you really want
an answer to that, do you?
Daniel.
he's the man who convinced
senator paul davis to k*ll ann.
Why would a senator
want to k*ll your sister?
I never said
she was my sister,
Daniel.
[ Grunts ]
It's not too late
to stop this, edward.
- Ann wouldn't have
wanted you--
- don't say her name!
[ Grunting ]
Man:
grenade! grenade!
everybody go!
I'm impressed.
It must have been
the radiation.
[ Grunting ]
[ Laughs ]
[ g*nf*re ]
[ Grunting ]
What's so funny?
Don't you see the irony
of it all, daniel?
Two friends
Who turned each other
into beasts.
[ Snickers ]
It is a great tragedy.
[ Shouts, grunts ]
[ g*nf*re ]
- Got my back?
- Copy.
[ g*nf*re ]
[ Grunts ]
[ Grunts ]
The disperser.
[ g*nf*re ]
[ Grunts ]
What's happening
over there, guys?
- Moving forward, sir.
- Two on the left.
[ Grunting ]
- Come on, come on.
What's happening?
- We're in control.
Got him.
Move on.
Barcroft, report.
We made it out
with the field disperser
just before.
- You're clear?
- Free and clear.
Goodbye again,
daniel.
Move it!
Beth! No!
[ Grunts ]
[ Gasping ]
Daniel?
Well, python
got away again.
Brian: we're close,
but we're always
a step behind.
What I want to know is,
how did he know where we
were holding barcroft?
it's like he's got someone
tipping him off.
That information could
only come from someone
inside the ghost squad.
And every member was
hand-picked by me.
Awful quiet in here.
- Just in time
for the post-mortem.
- How did it go?
Well, we didn't nab python,
but thanks to our girl here
we did get
one of his guys.
Finley is treating
him right now. He should be
able to talk before morning.
You think one of python's
henchmen is gonna tell you
about his master plan?
What, you're reading
comic books now?
he's a thief,
that's his master plan.
Yeah, but he's
hitting high-tech labs,
Not convenient stores.
So this isn't about money...
Sir.
That stuff's valuable.
If you have a place to sell it.
Well, we'll have to ask
our mystery guest, won't we?
Python:
how did they know?
How did they know?
Yes.
- I didn't do it, okay?
I didn't--
- shh.
Come out,
Wherever...
You...
- [ Beeping ]
- ...are.
This shouldn't hurt
one little bit.
[ Grunts ]
It looks like our friends
have a hidden agenda.
They'll pay for this.
Yes, brother,
they will pay.
One of our men
was captured at a.f.
You allowed
this to happen.
- [ Grunts, gasps ]
- is he alive?
Do you know his name?
[ Mutters ]
yeah.
Get out!
All right, we can do this
the hard way, or we can do
this the easy way.
- What's python's plan?
- Go to hell.
[ Beeping ]
- Why is he hitting the--?
- I said, go to hell.
[ Grunts ]
[ Echoing ]
what is python's plan?
[ Echoing ]
he won't tell us,
- But there are rumors.
- What rumors?
- I hear rumors.
- Tell us the rumors.
[ Beeping ]
He's going to destroy
the government,
D.c.,
You, everything.
How?
How is he planning--?
[ Gargles, spits ]
What the hell
just happened?
He's dead.
Damn it!
[ Beeps ]
It's done.
Then let's go
and visit our...
Friend.
Senator paul davis,
we're having a little
barbecue.
Would you like to come
and join us?
No. Where am i?
No!
[ Groans ]
You are in hell
where you belong.
What are you
talking about?
Who are you?
- Ann bartlett is dead...
- I never k*lled anyone!
- ...because of you...
- I never k*lled anyone!
[ Grunts, coughs ]
no, please.
...because of
a politician's lies,
Money promised
and not given.
I'm a united states senator.
You'll burn for this!
[ Screams ]
But that is what
I have planned for you.
- [ Screams ]
- you're burning up,
senator.
- You have a fever.
- Stop! Leave me alone!
Get away from me,
you madman!
Do it.
[ Grunts ]
You didn't give him
a chance to understand!
I didn't want
him to understand.
I just wanted him to die.
- Daniel?
- k*lled when you rescued me
from the hospital.
No, he was alive.
Pull up his file.
I want to see
who he's close with.
Oh.
I want the girl.

a massive cerebral hemorrhage.
We're back to square one.
I'm gonna go get daniel
and go home and get some rest.
Home to the safehouse?
Yes, sir,
to the safehouse.
Beth:
what do you mean,
"you can't come home"?
I'm not sure what
happened yesterday.
It appears my body's
worn out.
It's in recovery mode.
And they want to run
a few more tests.
You're gonna tell me
what the hell I saw
out there?
I'm not sure
I can explain it.
Beth:
you vanished.
Well, it appears
to be a side effect
of the radiation--
Well, that's at least
what I think it is.
And, uh...
I didn't vanish, i--
[ Chuckles ]
I move faster
than you can see.
- Lightspeed?
- Yeah.
You gotta be kidding me.
It's you in that little--
that little outfit?
Well, that's absolutely
necessary for aerodynamics.
And what about
the insignia?
Well, that's not
strictly necessary, but...
Can you keep the secret?
Yeah.
Of course I can
keep your secret.
You'd better be home
by morning, okay?
That's an order.
It would take
an army to stop me.
Almost 72 hours straight.
Go home and get some
sleep, brian.
Only 72?
I must be getting old.
Be careful when you leave.
I want everybody on strict
protocol.
I know, I know.
"Secret exit,
watch my back,
No pattern,
sleep with one eye open,
Report in."
No one will get to me, sir.
No one.
[ arrow whizzes ]
I'm gonna ask you
one more time--
Where is he?
I don't know.
[ Screams ]
k*ll me, you bastard.
Daniel is my friend.
Is he more important
than your little sister
With her
pretty blue eyes
and blonde hair...
And her birthmark
on her cheek?
Go to hell!
Or your young brother,
Just starting school
with his big scholarship
And pretty
little girlfriend?
You touch him,
and I swear I will--
Or your mother,
mrs. Pauline latham,
So proud of her kids?
Twin deserts.
708 citrus drive.
Let's just
get it over with.
[ screams ]
Twin deserts.
Now you know where
to drop him.
[ Beeping ]
- Ghost beacon still
transmitting?
- Affirmative.
Looks like he's
outside the building
But it's been
in the same position
for quite a while now.
Stay on it.
Get a medic down here.
Check the perimeter.
Brian, brian.
Python... Daniel.
What, python knows?
I told python
where daniel was--
At the safehouse.
I had to.
They'd k*ll my family.
Brian. Brian.
[ Groans ]
Beautiful.
Beautiful beth.
[ Whimpers ]
We're going to have
some fun together.
What are you?
[ Hisses ]
- [ Siren wails ]
- on the double,
on the double.
- everybody in.
- tanner, downstairs, go.
Check in with the command.
- What's all the commotion?
- It's latham, sir.
- Python...
- What did python do?
- ...tortured him.
- And where's latham now?
Dead, sir.
He gave up your safehouse.
Safehouse? Beth baker,
has she been contacted?
We tried, sir,
but she hasn't responded.
Tanner's squad is headed
over there right now.
- Sir, I'm sorry, I'm--
- okay, thanks.
The trap is set.
Is the helicopter
ready?
Yes.
Play, beth.
- Play for me.
- [ Sighs ]
[ Playing "fur elise " ]
I think he's coming.
[ Panting ]
not now, not now.
python!
Let's get ready.
Python, you coward,
show yourself!
Let her go.
- You're insane.
- Am i?
Perhaps the change
from man to serpent
Has been
a little stressful.
From my point of view,
it's the world that's
gone insane.
What do you want from me?
I want to see you grovel,
You... The liar,
the betrayer.
The friend.
I was your friend,
edward.
All I wanted to do
was help you.
Now what do you want?
Let me teach you about
friendship, daniel.
[ Groans ]
- Come on, hit me!
- [ Yells ]
[ Grunting ]
Edward,
please...
Edward doesn't
live here anymore.
[ Panting ]
[ Groans ]
Beth.
No. No.
Check that one
over there.
What about that one?
No.
This one's gone.
Keep checking,
keep checking.
I gotta get
out of here.
Look, I don't know
what the hell it is
you're doing,
But it's not
doing you any good.
You're no use to beth
if you're dead.
Beth is probably
already dead.
Python wouldn't have
taken her if he didn't
want to keep her alive.
Just like latham,
right?
Look, nobody, especially
tanner, is gonna let you
see any action
Until he's convinced
you're not a liability.
Maybe i am
a liability.
[ Sighs ]
So you were right,
brian.
About what?
I saw you at the services.
Couldn't find you afterwards.
I wanted to talk to you
in private, sir.
I want back in.
I need back in.
I wanna take python down
and bring beth back.
We're not gonna
bring beth back.
Latham was right.
There was a mole
in the ghost squad.
- it was beth.
- what?
- That's ridiculous.
- Is it?
She was the last person
to see latham alive.
She knew his habits.
She knew he was onto her.
Are you saying that
she set up the ambush
And had him k*lled?
And-- and--
And then staged
her own kidnapping?
Well, I noticed she
came through it unharmed
and escaped with python.
- He kidnapped her.
- It certainly looked
like that, didn't it?
Just let me back in.
Let me help you take
python down.
You're not qualified
to do anything but sit
behind the desk.
Well, then I'll sit
behind the desk.
Look, I know you're frustrated
and I know you're angry,
but python--
Python is edward bartlett.
Who the hell is
edward bartlett?
An old friend.
A m*llitary scientist.
- He was working on--
- an old friend?
Python was an old friend?
When were you planning
on telling me this?
I did tell you!
But you dismissed it.
he was experimenting
with snake dna to help
burn victims
when the government
cut off his funding.
He broke into his lab,
trashed it, and there was
a fire.
it b*rned down
with him inside,
everyone thought.
- I thought he was dead, but--
- you're not gonna protect
beth this time.
if she's a traitor,
we're gonna bring her down
right along with python.
Daniel, you were the best
soldier I ever trained,
But your fighting days
are over for now.
I'm sorry.
[ Grunting ]
Operation fire sky
is ready to proceed.
The w*apon's
finished.
We could be
ready to move
in 12 hours.
I want you to tell
the men about the serious
grievances we have
Against the politicians
that rob us and imprison
us unjustly.
[ Grunting ]
Python: I want
you to tell the men
we have taken all their pay
and used it to short stocks
at margin.
The day after
operation fire sky,
the market will crumble
And we'll profit
from that doom.
I will make the men rich.
Wonderful.
- [ Beeping ]
- we'll fire the w*apon
from a building
inside the capitol area.
It's one of the most
secure, heavily guarded
areas in the world.
You doubt me.
The plan will work.
The city will be b*rned
to the ground.
The men inside
will be roasted alive.
What about ghost squad?
The ghost squad will be
looking for their...
beth,
our pretty prisoner.
[ Grunting ]
Barcroft,
I want you to give the men
their individual
assignments.
There is no room for error.
This is what we've been
working towards.
Yes, sir.
[ Quivering ]
[ Screaming ]
[ Growling ]
Eight years ago,
brief internship,
A.f. Incorporated.
I'm not here to hassle.
I just wanted to know
- If there's
anything new on beth.
- Nothing on beth,
- nothing on python.
- [ phone rings ]
Tanner.
Yeah, a.s.a.p.
I'll be right down.
What is it?
Tanner, what's happening?
Beth's transmitter
just started signaling.
- She's alive?
- I sure as hell hope so.
- Where is she?
- You're out, daniel.
You're not involved.
You need me.
I'm your tactical guy.
I will help
in any way possible.
Sir,
Images were taken
over the past 15 minutes.
Python is
up to something big,
something catastrophic.
But why is he here?
Doesn't make any sense.
We'll ask him
when he's in the pen.
Check the blueprints.
See if there's a basement
Or any tunnel leading
to the surrounding buildings,
The easiest way
in or out.
All right,
can you stay here
and assist with tactical?
Sure.
[ Siren wailing ]
[ woman announcing
over p.a. ]
[ Wind whistles ]
[ birds chirping ]
Daniel, it's been
a long time.
Where is she?
Looking for this?
Where is she?
What are you
prepared to do,
daniel?
What are you
prepared to sacrifice?
- What is she worth to you?
- I swear, if you--
If I k*ll her?
[ Chuckles ]
I'm going to k*ll her.
I want you to feel the pain
that I felt when I lost ann.
I'm going to burn her.
Come with me.
[ Door squeaks ]
You can speak with her.
[ Door squeaks ]
What the--?
Do you recognize him?
- it's paul davis.
- paul davis?
That's correct.
Your old friend,
the senator.
Now I decide who lives
and who dies!
What the hell
have you done with beth?
Where is she?
[ Grunting ]
How does it feel to have
the most important
thing you have
Taken from you
And not have the power
to stop it, daniel?
Tell me how it feels.
[ Groans ]
[ beeping ]
Did you hear that?
That's the sound
of success.
[ Grunts ]
This is a mass ionic
field disperser,
Modified to my own
specifications.
When the clock reaches 4:30,
the disperser will fire
And everyone in that
corrupt little swamp
you call a capital
Will burn in the very
fires of hell.
and everyone responsible
for annie's death
will be b*rned alive.
That was an accident!
You'll k*ll millions
of people!
[ Chuckles ]
I know.
And here is
your beloved beth,
Imprisoned in a room
not to far from here
With a b*mb
strapped to her chest.
So near and yet so far.
when the clock
reaches 4:30,
the b*mb will explode
And your beth will be
a distant memory.
Ah, the ghost squad.
Right on time.
You can't k*ll everyone.
I beg to differ.
Where is the disperser?
Security building,
But don't try to open the door.
The disperser is designed
to explode if you do.
That maybe
will give you speed.
And beth?
Where is she?
I'll give you
the address, daniel,
and then you can decide.
will you sacrifice
an entire city
for one woman?
[ Chuckles ]
What if he stops
the disperser?
That's impossible.
Nothing is that fast.
He'll reach d.c.
But not the disperser.
He'll be b*rned alive.
My men aren't gonna
make it out of d.c.,
Are they?
I'm afraid not.
- You told them
they were gonna be rich.
- [ Snickering ]
I lied.
What about beth?
Oh, I'm gonna enjoy
k*lling her.
[ Grunts ]
Out.
Have you ever
made daniel scream?
'Cause we are
gonna make him scream
Together.
[ Screaming ]
you sick bastard!
Shut up, you bitch,
shut up!
- Let go of me!
- Shut up, bitch!
[ Shouts ]
- [ Crying ]
- [ python laughs ]
[ Grunts ]
[ Screaming, grunting ]
Let go of me!
This isn't right, edward.
- [ Gasps ]
- let go of my hand,
barcroft.
- [ Groans ]
- don't call me that name.
But that's your name.
Edward.
And this girl's name is beth
and she does not deserve to die.
We all deserve to die.
This woman didn't k*ll ann.
And neither did daniel,
and neither did the government.
And now you betray me,
barcroft.
[ Grunting ]
[ Python screams ]
annie, annie, what
have I done?!
what have I done?!
why did you do this to me?!
tom, why did you--?
tom, why did you
do this to me?!
why did you
do this to me?!
I trust people-- I trust
people and they hurt me.
I didn't do anything wrong!
I didn't hurt anyone!
they k*lled her!
they k*lled my annie!
[ distant ]
they took my annie
away from me!
I wanted to save
my beautiful annie.
annie, annie, annie,
what have I done?
Ghost one,
move into the rear.
Ghost one? Ghost two?
Ghost two?
All right, python,
where in the hell are you?
[ Python screaming ]
I wanted to do good things!
They made me do this!
They made me do this!
Why did you do this to me?
annie, annie, annie,
what have I done?
what have I done?
tom, why did you
do this to me?
why did you
do this to me?
Why did you do this to me?
Sit down!
Get on the floor!
Get on the floor!
I am! I am!
[ Beeping ]
Daniel, you're dead!
You're dead! I will
make you pay!
...i want your family dead!
I want everyone
you love dead!
- Get down, get down!
- [ Shouts ]
You're dead! You're dead!
[ Grunting ]
Not yet, daniel.
Tanner, it's okay!
It's not her!
I know. That's why I
have to k*ll both of you.
Python?
How could you?
Yes, it was
just the thrill
of the chase, daniel.
Wasn't it fun?
You'd k*ll
a million people for fun?
Just a few hundred.
Come on, let's go.
No, mr. Tanner.
Millions would have d*ed.
Daniel.
[ Laughs ]
[ Grunting ]
Don't you know
speed kills?!
Look at me!
- I'm gonna enjoy this.
- No.
[ Groaning ]
Nothing's ever gonna be
this good again, daniel.
I'm gonna cut
That dirty piece
of meat's face off
And I'm gonna make
you eat it.
and I'm gonna make
you beg me for mercy,
Because I'm gonna
k*ll you.
But first I'm gonna
cut your skin off your body.
and then I'm gonna
take a blowtorch
And I'm gonna burn off
your legs and make you
run on stumps!
- [ Grunts ]
- [screams ]
I like to play
with my prey.
[ Chuckles ]
[ Grunts ]
I've always liked
the color blue, daniel.
[ Chuckles ]
I think it's such a pretty
color to die in.
- [ Laughs ]
- [ groaning ]
I am back.
[ Grunting ]
I'll get you!
It's time to die!
[ Growls, squeals ]
[ Groaning ]
[ Gasping ]
Beth:
oh, daniel.
Daniel!
Hey! Can you hear me?
Oh, come on, breathe.
Breathe, daniel!
Can you hear me?
I'm here for you, daniel!
Come on, breathe!
Adrenaline sh*t.
Fight!
- [ Groans ]
- yes!
Yes! Hey.
Oh, are you okay?
- So, are you sure about this?
- Positive.
'Cause we can
always use you as--
I've made up my mind.
It would change
everything.
I can't even imagine
life without you here.
I love you.
I love you too.
