Why she chose to do it herself instead of having Reece kill her is uncertain, but it's possibly due to her own pride, which is what led her to that situation to begin with. Unmoved by the evidence, Reece moves in to kill her, but Secretary Hartley quickly reaches for a pistol in a drawer and kills herself before he can fire a shot, showing that she'd rather be dead than answer for her crimes. Chris Pratt's James Reece is about to kill Hartley when Buranek pleads with him not to as she has evidence to destroy her reputation and make her pay for what she's done. Reece begins his assault at this moment, which eventually leads him to Hartley's safe room. Buranek records the confession, putting Hartley in an exposed position. Hartley reveals her true motivations for letting Alpha Team die to Buranek, which was the eventual implementation of the now-corrected version of RD4895, that would help treat countless veterans for PTSD (and, of course, advance her career and legacy). It was also revealed from the logs of the mission that killed Alpha Team that Hartley could have aborted the mission/ambush at any time, but allowed it to go forward, as she rationalized that their deaths would eventually save lives as their being exposed to tumors as a result of the drug likely would have killed its distribution. Hartley explains that her motivations behind approving the drug were to help the special operations community, not to profit from it (which is actually true), but she claims that she didn't know anything about the tumors until Buranek confronted Horn just before Reece killed him (although she actually did know beforehand). Buranek is essentially kidnapped and brought to Secretary Hartley's compound, where she's told the "right" story about what happened with RD4895. America star Jeanne Tripplehorn) uses her inside power to halt the article from going to print.
When Constance Wu's Katie Buranek writes an expose on the entire conspiracy for publication, Secretary Hartley (played by Mrs. Everything might have worked out fine had James Reece not survived. While a solution was found to stop the tumors in the future, the effects on the Alpha Team are irreversible and the decision is made to have them killed in order to cover it up, with Capstone orchestrating the ambush along with their secret CIA intelligence source and the help of Admiral Pillar.
Horn uses his influence and relationships to cut corners to get the drug approved quickly, brokering lucrative deals with a small group of insiders, starting with Secretary Hartley and leading down to Admiral Pillar and his crew, who agree to test the drug on the SEALS without their consent (they think they're being injected with vitamin B12). The drug was created by Capstone Industries, led by CEO Steve Horn ( The Suicide Squad's Jai Courtney) and needs human trials to get FDA approval. RD4895 is the designation given to an experimental drug created to prevent PTSD that was authorized for testing by Secretary Hartley in conjunction with Admiral Pillar (Nick Chinlund), Commander Cox (LaMonica Garrett), and Jag Captain Howard, who have it used on everyone on Reece's SEAL team, leading to unwanted effects, including brain tumors that cause memory loss and headaches.
