Captain Freedom: Forget it, Killian, I won't do it!
Killian: It's not a request, moron, it's an order.
Captain Freedom: I don't need this crap! [strips off gear] This stuff is garbage! I was killing guys like this ten years ago with my bare hands! I'm not going for any of these tricks! This is a sport of death and honor, Code of the Gladiators!
Killian: Cap, will you spare me the combat Zen speech? What the hell's the matter with you? Can't you see what's going on out there? This isn't a game! They're betting on Richards up there!
Captain Freedom: Bullshit!
Killian: Get out of here! [to his bodyguard Sven] Get him out of here! [Sven stays still] What's the matter? Steroids make you deaf? Get him out of here NOW!!
[Sven shrugs his shoulders at Captain Freedom, who simply leaves the control booth after almost running onto Killian's assistant]

Audience member: Hey, what's going on?!
Killian: [on video] We don't lie - lie - lie... like our previous winners Whitman, Price, and Haddad. You remember them! [stills appear of the corpses that Amber found in the locker room] There they are at this very moment, basking under the Maui sun, their debt to society paid in full. Watch that screen.
[Raw footage of the Bakersfield massacre begins to play]
Dispatcher: [to Richards] Yankee Nine-Niner, what's the status of the crowd?
Ben Richards: Food riot in progress. Approximately 1,500 civilians. No weapons are evident.
Dispatcher: Proceed with Plan Alpha, eliminate anything moving.
Richards: I said the crowd is unarmed! There are lots of women and children down there. All they want is some food, for God's sake!
[The audience and Killian continue to watch in bewilderment]
Dispatcher: As you were, Richards. Proceed with Plan Alpha. All rioters must be eliminated.
Richards: The hell with you! I will not fire on helpless human beings!
Dispatcher: You have your orders, Yankee Nine-Niner, proceed with Plan Alpha.
[at the ICS control room]
Tony: Where's it coming from?
Brenda: The network satellite.
[Just as Tony is about to turn the dial to override the satellite, Stevie and several resistance fighters burst into the control room, guns pointed]
Stevie: [menacingly] Don't touch that dial.
[Cut back to the video]
Richards: Abort mission. We return to base...
Dispatcher: Saunders, do you copy? Take command. Detain Richards and proceed as ordered.
[Fight breaks out]
Soldier: Richards, what the fuck are you doing?!
[The soldiers overpower Richards and knock him out; Cut to the studio, where the audience gasp at the footage in disbelief]
Killian: Ladies and gentlemen! Ladies and gentlemen, if you'll please bear with us, we're experiencing technical difficulties!
Mrs McArdle: Bullshit!!
[Richards and the other resistance fighters burst into the studio with guns]
Richards: It's showtime!
