How was your weekend?

Good.

I had a great weekend,

thanks for asking.

So you got that text?

Confirming the...

What I already knew.

Yeah, I got it.

Did you get mine?

I was trying to

make a joke about

the White House

Correspondents' dinner,

but my phone spell-checked it into

whorehouse correspondents' dinner.

Spell-checks are

usually pretty accurate.

Right. I'm sure there's

a whorehouse

correspondents'

dinner somewhere.

Somewhere, yeah.

I know, I know, I got it.

No phones inside.

Hey, if it were up to me,

I couldn't care less.

Gone. Done.

Okay?

Should be out by now.

Yeah.

Probably just got

a last-minute broadcast.

What?

Nothing.

One sec.

No... Ah!

I can't hear.

Shh.

Eardrums.

Stay quiet, okay?

Okay.

Stay quiet.

Stay here.

Be quiet, okay?

Katherine.

We're clear.

Are you sure?

We'd know by now if

somebody else were in here.

Whose hand is that?

I don't know.

Can you hear?

Yeah.

If they know the code from before,

they're gonna come back in.

They're gonna use it again.

No, the codes

change every shift.

They could have had David and

Meredith's code but not ours.

Where are they?

Take a deep breath.

We're gonna walk. We're

gonna call for help. Okay?

"Cardiff, Aberdeen, Glasgow,

Belfast, Oxford, Slough."

Belfast, Oxford, Slough."

The station's been compromised.

Requesting

immediate evacuation.

One moment.

Evac authorized.

ETA?

Four hours. For now, standard protocol.

Secure location. Retire asset.

Repeat.

The code has been compromised.

Retire your broadcaster.

Did you copy that?

Got it.

What? What'd

they say?

Sit tight.

Did you hear that?

They're drilling through.

check the security cameras.

Find out what happened

to David and Meredith.

Sh*t.

All the cameras are down.

Audio's on a separate file.

Yeah.

Pull it up.

Nothing.

What time was that?

One hour ago.

Earlier.

be a f***ing hero?

Go back further.

out a couple of hours

till Emerson gets

here and then I hope...

Tell her to come out right now!

Take a f***ing seat!

We know you have to open

the door from the inside.

Can you get her to do that for us?

It'll be a lot easier.

F*** you.

I need to get inside

the broadcast room.

I need the girl

to open the door.

I need her to take care

of some numbers for me.

Now this is something

only she can do.

And I'm kinda on

a tight schedule.

about the change in schedule.

We got here early.

I know about you and the girl.

We know, okay?

Now we can offer you two a

way out, a way through.

And if you do what we say, if you

help us, we won't have to hurt her.

There's no need for violence.
