the national security advisor's

protection detail.

Nice job.

- I don't Know

who you're talking about, man.

- Don't play dumb.

We Know who you are.

We Know who you work for.

We couldn't afford to lose you.

You're a valuable asset, Jeremy.

Well, if you Know me so well,

then you Know I'm not going

to tell you anything.

- No, Agent Reins.

You will give us the location

of Roulette.

How much you suffer before that

is ultimately up to you.

- Look, man, I can't help you,

all right?

I don't know

what you're talking about.

You want to play roulette,

you go to Vegas, right?

Try Atlantic City

if you don't like to fly.

I don't Know what to tell you.

- I'm glad you still have

your sense of humor.

But I'm on a schedule,

Agent Reins,

and very soon,

my patience will run out.

- God damn it.

Oh, God.

Ah, f***.

Henry, are you still with me?

- Jeremy, is that you?

I thought you were gone.

- No.

No, still here.

They gave me a shot.

They saved my life.

- Why would they do that?

I don't understand.

- Look, if we're going to

find out what's going on here,

I need to Know

everything you Know.

- All I know is, this has

something to do with Roulette.

- What do you Know about that?

- I know

it's an underground bunker

where the president,

vice president,

and the national security

advisor are all taken

if there's ever an attack

on Washington.

After 9/11, they built

a series of bunkers.

The go-to bunker is changed

randomly without notice.

Only a handful of people

ever know which one it is

on any given day.

That's why they call it

Roulette.

- How do you Know that?

- I told you earlier.

I'm with the State Department,

Jeremy.

- No, you never mentioned that

to me.

- Yeah, I did.

I'm assigned to the NSC

and the ops center.

I work in the White House.

I was in New York

for a briefing at the UN.

- Well, you never mentioned that

to me before, man.

- Yeah, I tried to tell you

earlier, but you cut me off.

You didn't trust anything

I said, remember?

Please, Jeremy.

Look, I'm just try-

- Okay.

All right, is Dave Lao still

the senior NSA rep

in the ops center?

- What, you're quizzing me?

Yeah, Brian Nolan replaced him

in the ops center

two years ago.

Dave Lao went to the Pentagon,

Sec. Def.'s office.

- Okay, you work

in the ops center.

I want to Know what paintings

are hanging

in the conference room.

- Oh, that's a trick question.

There are no paintings

in there.

Jeremy, please, come on.

I'm just a State Department

attach.

I'm not cut out for this.

I'm just trying to stay alive

and keep my family safe.

- Stop talking.

The best thing you can do

is to be quiet.

- They know

where my family lives.
