Razi: Give me the list!

In the White House president Allen anxiously awaits news of the attack on the embassy. Finally her chief of staff brings her news.

Gardner: The Afghan army is beginning to surround the embassy. According to these reports they will have Razi's forces surrounded within minutes.
Allen: That was quick.
Keaton: The advance warning we got apparently gave them time to prepare. Hekmetyar has also used his influence to convince them to help us. From what we know he has no love for Razi.
Allen: Yes, but I wonder if he has other motives for this, and when exactly he knew of this.

Ubaid: What do we do now?
Razi: We go down fighting, and kill as many Americans and collaborators as possible.
