...thank you for your warm welcome

and your presence here this evening.

China, and the West, began their history

together not in war but in trade.

It's trade that brings us all together tonight,

and it's trade that will bind us...

...and unite us for years to come.

This agreement brings to fruition...

...years of hard work

by leaders on both sides...

...driven by a belief

that economic prosperity...

...will forge an era of peace

that the world has never enjoyed.

Marco Polo would be proud to know

that we go to the next level here.

Open the door to the 21st century

and announce that, yes...

...China wants to become a member of

the club that'll guide this planet's destiny...

...into the next 1000 years.

With the signing of

the UN Trade Agreement...

... 1.5 billion Chinese...

...will have access to the world markets that will--

There will be no future reforms of trade

until there's accountability...

...for criminal aggression!

I'll check him out.

I'm there already.

Well, you make that 1.4999 billion.

Without any further delay, here he is,

the architect of China's future...

...Ambassador Jian Tze Wu.

What's he saying to Chan?

The level is too low,

and he's blocking the bug.

Come on, I've got to know.

It's recording.

I'll clean the tape once we're done.

"Today, I'm very happy

to participate in this party.

"I'm honored...

"...to open the door of China to the world."

I'm out of the building. What's going on?

I got him. Light tracksuit. Bly?

Novak, get out of there!

Copy. I'm gone.

Moving to the seventh floor.

Anna!

Help! Somebody help me!

-Emergency exit. West side.

-Copy that. I'm mobile!

-Cut him off outside.

-I'm on it.

Parking structure! Ah, no you don't!

I'm at street level. Moving to you.

Box that f***er.

Stop!

Check in. What's your situation?

Shaw!

Head outside!

Shaw! Talk to me!

-Shaw, what's your situation?

-Shots fired.

Talk to me, Shaw!

I'm on the east side, coming to you.

Okay! East side. I'll be there!

He's hea- heading for the street.

You should have visual.

Negative, no contact!

I got him.

-Where?

-Damn!

Copy. 77th Street.

Coming to you!

I'm almost there!

Okay, mid-block. Construction site.

Location?

-Location?

-76th.

You got him?

He should be right in front of you.

Negative, negative.

-Bly!

-Wait, I got him.

-I got him!

-I can't hear you.

-I got the mark. I got him.

-Bly!

Shaw, help me! I'm hit.

-Shaw, I'm hit.

-Bly!

Bly! Oh God!

Bly, come in!

Sh*t!

Freeze! Drop your weapon!

I said, drop your weapon!

Drop it! Drop it now!

Drop it now!

Put your hands behind your head.

Hands behind your head!

Get on your knees! On your knees!

Bly!
