In the clip, the two sit on a bench in New York City's Central Park, where Alexandra casually feeds pigeons as Gao updates her on preparations for "the final phase." Unfortunately for Gao and "the others," Alexandra is no longer willing to wait seven months. "That won't work," Weaver's character says. "Not anymore. We need to move faster."
