Panetta stood waiting just outside the White House gate.
It wasn't as if Panetta could just waltz in and demand to see the President, but at this critical moment, he was ready to die trying inside the White House if that's what it took.

Gao Yi couldn't help but feel a newfound respect for Panetta at this moment.
Ruthless. Decisive. When Panetta realized that Gao Yi was his only option, he was truly willing to risk it all. He wasn't even bringing any of his trusted inner circle, putting his life and everything else entirely in Gao Yi's hands.
