Jake
Hey, hey. Can you hear me?
[meeting Drea sitting on ground with wounded leg]
Drea
Yeah. Well, you were right. It was pointless. You shouldn't have come back. I'm sorry I lied to you. Sorry I dragged you into this.

Jake
You didn't drag me into anything. You dragged me out. But we got to get that bomb back.

It's too late, Jake.
Jake
You said you could build a bomb big enough to blow up a tank, right? What about a train?

Jake...

The train's headed back to the city. To get there it's gotta cross the bridge. All right, all I need to do is get that plug and make sure the train doesn't stop. You just gotta blow that bridge.
Drea
That's all?
Jake
Look, we can do this. But if we're gonna do it, we gotta do it now. Okay, you ready?

Secrets of a Hidden Atomic Bomb

Jake
You're goddamn right.

The U.S. made two atomic bombs to drop on Japan, ]. But there was a third, set aside for Moscow, in case ]. The Mona Lisa. This bomb was meant to travel a long way, so there was a safety measure added. Without this plug inserted, this bomb can't go off.
[[w:Fat Man and Little Boy|Fat Man and Little Boy; pulls out plug key of bomb; [w:Korean War|the Red Army didn't stop at Manchuria]
Jake
So August gets the bomb and you get everything else?
Drea
August doesn't want this bomb to use it. He just wants to keep it away from Volkov.
Jake
And you believe him?
Drea
What choice do I have?
Jake
You had a choice. You could've kept me out of itǃ
Drea
But it would've been found. And you know it, Jake. I do trust August just a little more than I trust Volkov.
Jake
They're both a part of the same hypocrisy. I trusted you, Drea.

Look. It might be too late for me and the life I wanted. But maybe, just maybe, by stopping Volkov someone else can have that chance.

And how many have to die while you're trying to stop him?

Jake, waitǃ Come on, just... just stay and fight with usǃ Can't you see, the Volkovs of this world, they win when good people do nothing?
Jake
They win anywayǃ

Drea
Jake, Jake...ǃ
