Second in Command Page #4

- You okay?

- Yeah.

- Call for backup, seal the windows.

- Right, sir.

You two, on me!

Get him downstairs into the bubble, now!

You okay?

Norland!

Norland. F***, Norland.

What, Sam?

Medic! Medic! Please, here.

Please, what's the damage?

They hit us with RPGs.

- Let me take a look at you.

- No.

You're gonna be okay. Hold on.

I don't think I'm going to make it.

Best to leave this in.

Amirev is inside the bubble.

He's safe. For now.

Sir, this is Marshall Geller at Comms Tech.

- Hey, Marshall.

- Sir.

How is the President?

...any background information,

anything you know.

He's good.

White House situation room, you're on.

Ready, sir.

This is Sam Keenan.

I regret to inform you

that Ambassador Norland has been...

killed in the Embassy attack.

Richard Hammond, Secretary of State.

Our sympathies, Commander Keenan.

How did this happen?

A coup d'etat is in progress.

Amirev is in the Embassy

and we've been hit with an RPG.

John Franklin, NSA.

How is your security?

We are surrounded by militia

loyal to Kirilov. I need backup.

This is General Anderson.

Our nearest Marine Expeditionary Unit...

is about six hours due east

of your current position.

You folks are just gonna have

to do whatever you can...

to hold the fort until they can arrive.

Understood.

And if you don't mind sir, on the double.

Copy that.

Commander Keenan...

we'll keep the lines open for you

here at State...

the Pentagon and Ops Center CIA.

Let us know immediately if there's

any change in your plans, or your situation.

Good luck.

This is General Anderson.

I'm issuing orders

for the 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit.

To proceed with an emergency

Embassy Reinforcement Mission.

O'Brien, check the message.

Message relayed.

This is Fort Victory.

Message received and understood, over.

Go, go, go! Move, move, move! Scramble!

Move your ass! Move your ass!

We're ready to go.

Delta 11, ready.

The birds are in the air.

Delta 13, birds are flying.

All right, boys.

Sit tight, you've got a long ride.

Raise your hand if you feel confident

about our security.

What we do have is an E&E plan.

You heard my discussion

with the Secretary of State.

Case closed.

Evacuation is our only option.

The longer we delay the harder it'll become.

The evacuation plan

was designed for a staff of 15.

We have over 50 people here.

And a full on siege outside.

How long do we have until

General Borgov returns with his troops?

About four hours.

By then we'll have militia

trying on our pants for size.

Ambassador Norland said he would not

let this fragile democracy fail.

I'm not going to let him down.

We hold the fort.

I hate to piss on your little parade, Keenan...
