Good evening, my fellow Americans.
Late last night, rebel forces in Bashran staged a coup,
overtaking the presidential palace in the capital
and killing hundreds of duty-bound soldiers
and innocent civilians.
We must use our military might to remove these violent rebels
from power and reinstate President Rashad,
the rightful Bashrani leader.
This is not just for Middle East peace, but for global peace.
To defend Bashran -- long-time adversary of the United States?
Who among her advisers actually thinks that sending
American soldiers to fight trigger-happy insurgents
is a good idea?
This isn't stirring up a hornet's nest,
this is poking a nuclear-armed bear.
We knew the announcement wouldn't be received warmly.
But these numbers... Are preliminary.
The American people can be convinced
that this war is in their best interest.
It's not the American people you have to worry about.
Why do you say that?
Constitutionally, only the United States Congress
has the authority to declare war.
It doesn't matter what the people want,
and it honestly doesn't matter what the president wants.
Without full congressional approval, war is a nonstarter.
Congress can be convinced. I'll take some meetings.
Remind those folks on the Hill that war
is good for business, and polls are harder to read
buried under piles of cash.
Perhaps it's time for me to return to Bashran,
meet my enemy face-to-face.
You'll be executed.
Give us time.
We will get you your country back, I promise you that.

They might be swayed to support the war

will be minimized.

There might be an easier way.
The coup was engineered by a coalition of
two Bashrani political parties -- the Asha and the ZTF.
So far, they've successfully shared power,
but should one of its leaders be killed and the other party
blamed for it...
It would lead to some serious infighting,
the coup implodes, Rashad swoops in like a hero,
he takes his palace back, restores order.
There wouldn't be a single American casualty.

this coup will not stand.
Are you sure about that?
You have my word.
Well, thank you.
I'm sure arranging this was not easy.
It wasn't.
But it was necessary.
[ Sighs ] Saying goodbye to you is gonna be much harder.
Mellie, this isn't goodbye.
I'll come back.
I'm committed to this treaty.
Me too.
And to you.
Me too.

-What does that mean? -It means that we're sending
your uncle home so that he can reinstated as president.
And I get to go back to school?
I'm sorry, your uncle thinks
it will be safer for you in Bashran.
That's easy for him to say.
You think I'm in danger now. Watch what happens
when I tell the folks back home,
"Hey, guess who's coming to Ramadan?"
Look, I get it.
It doesn't seem fair.
You got to live a life where you had choices,
and now it seems like they're being taken away.
They are being taken away.
Okay, then.
Yasmeen, you choose.
What do you want?
I want to be myself.
And I want to be with Gillian.
What if I said that the only real shot you have
at both those things is to go home with your uncle right now?
I don't see how.
But you love her, don't you?
And she loves you?
Believe in that, then.
Hey, look, your uncle went on television
and told the world he wants to change Bashran,
that once he's back in power, the old ways won't hold.
If you go with him, you can help change your country.
And you and Gillian --
if you stay here and run off together,
someone will find you.
[ Sobs ]
But this is how things are.
It might not seem like a fair choice,
but it's your choice.
You either risk both your lives to be together now,
or you go home with your uncle and trust in love
and have a future.
