xXx: State of the Union Page #4

I wanna know where they are...

...I wanna know what they're doing,

and I wanna know now.

I'm disappointed, Auggie.

Checkmate in three?

You should've seen it coming.

Relax. Have a drink.

- I took the liberty of pouring myself...

- You were always taking liberties.

Same old Gibbons.

Good soldier with a bad attitude.

You know, I always remember

the first day we met.

I remember the last day I saw you.

I bet you do.

Didn't heal too well, did it?

Some wounds never do.

- I never asked you to go into that fire.

- You just set it and watched it burn.

We did what needed to be done.

That what you call it?

"Doing what you need to do"?

Sixteen of my men killed?

What's that, just more friendly fire?

Some men die so others may live.

Funny...

...that you never seem to be the one

doing any of the dying.

I'll do whatever it takes

to best protect this nation.

You're not protecting the nation.

You're doing this to protect yourself.

- Why? What fires you starting now?

- We both live in the same world.

- We know what's out there.

- Save the speech.

Just so you know...

...whatever you're up to,

you're not getting away with it.

Why?

Because Darius Stone

is gonna stop me?

I'm sorry.

Was that supposed to be a surprise?

Gibbons, I know every move you make

even before you do.

You still work for me,

whether you know it or not.

I never worked for you.

- I work for my country.

- I don't know what's more pathetic...

...a man that plays chess

with himself...

...or a man that doesn't see

he's already lost.

Make it look like an accident.

Zero exposure.

Sir, they found Gibbons.

Investigators say an apparent

gas leak triggered the explosion.

The fire department was too late

to save the occupant...

... but managed to contain the fire

before it spread.

The deceased, Augustus Gibbons,

was a former Navy captain.

He was 51 years old.

The funeral's tomorrow

at Arlington National Cemetery.

Gas leak. Right.

This is Lisa Joyner reporting from

Chevy Chase, Maryland for WJLA.

Back to you in the studio.

Toby, let's get to work.

There's nothing on here. Nothing.

It's blank, man.

Because you're looking

in the wrong place.

Gibbons said it was

on the hard drive.

What are you doing?

I read about that.

Cold War. Old school, right?

Not that old school.

All right.

Now, which one's Charlie?

Only one way to find out.

Ready. Aim.

Fire.

Ready. Aim. Fire.

Order arms.

Like our Lord and saviour...

...Augustus Eugene Gibbons

died in our service.

Head of the NSA, FBI, Joint Chiefs,

secretary of state.

Damn.

You know what this means, right?

- What?

- They're gonna kill me next.

- Give me those.

- Damn, man.

If we're working together,
