End Game is a 2006 action-thriller film, written and directed by Andy Cheng. The film stars Cuba Gooding, Jr. as Secret Service agent Alex Thomas, who is shot in the hand while unsuccessfully trying to protect the President (played by Jack Scalia) from an assassin's bullet. Later, with the help of a persistent newspaper reporter named Kate Crawford (played by Angie Harmon), he uncovers a vast conspiracy behind what initially appeared to be a lone gunman. James Woods, Burt Reynolds, and Anne Archer co–star in this film that was originally set to be shown in cinemas by MGM in 2005, but was delayed by the takeover from Sony and eventually sent direct to DVD.
The president is on his way to give a speech. While he is traveling there a man shows up with a camera. A reporter tries to ask a member of the secret service a question. When the president enters he is shot by the man with the camera. The president's main bodyguard (Alex Thomas) is grazed by the bullet that hits the president. The shooter is gunned down by Alex and other secret service agents. The president dies at the hospital.
I'm slipping into grey.
And I was (in my way) good to you.
And you were good for me.
Bye Bye my love.
Going to play the End Game.
It's growing kind of still.
You know there always will be a dream
waiting for you when
sleep comes around.
I had to play the End Game.
Bless us all. I must say
it was good, you know.
Keep me in mind for
a re-match in warm snow.
The faces at the door
couldn't have looked more lost to see
me waving as I brush
away a tear.
