Getting hot, yeah?

What's the story, little bubble?

Me? No.

Still is a rock.

I'm putting another 50 on Dave.

Put your money away.

How much longer are we going to be on standby?

My team's getting restless.

It's odds on this time, Henry.

High state of alert.

What makes it so different this time? We've been here before.

Ali Ahmed al -Joof.

No one knows what he looks like, but they say he got bin Laden out of Tora

So getting past our border defences must have been a doddle for him.

What, he's here?

Oh, yes.

Power, right?

Right. Who sneaks?

How about me and you, Smithy?

Here we go. Heno's getting involved now. No way.

You hold the record.

A few minutes, 20 seconds.

I'll take you on.

Right,

lads. Rules are very simple.

Place your hand palm down, flat over the candle. Four inches.

The glass of water is placed on the back of the hand. If you feel a drop, you're

out. Flame extinguisher, you're out. You pull your hand away, you're out.

Last man standing wins.

I want a nice clean fire, boys.

No biting, pinching or punching.

Take it all back, sir. I'll take it all back.

Let the games begin.

I didn't think you'd approve of this, sir.

Boys will be boys.

No one backing out?

I'll give it three to one.

I'll have 20.

Coming up in two minutes.

Sorry, lads.

What's the time?

You've won.

No, I'm going for the record.

2 .18.

We found him with tracking device.

CIA, MI5, Mossad, we don't know.

He won't do it.

Do we kill him?

No.

Whoever he belongs to, they'll be looking for him. And us?

We speak to the clan.

Then?

Then we kill him.

Prego, signorina.

Grazie.

Signorina, prego, da questa parte. Venga.

Vorrei dire che la... And tell her something like, she's gorgeous, you know

I mean?

Bella or something?

Bella.

Ha detto che sì.

Il male respiro.

È una faccia de parbone.

Neanche se avesse tutti i soldi di Berlusconi o il viso di Brad Pitt.

She says you look like Brad Pitt.

I said no such thing.

So you speak English?

Sorry. You and you.

I've just got a wicked taste for humor.

Three months ago, one of our men, Agent Wisdom, infiltrated an Al -Qaeda cell in

the UK.

The last communique we had from him was to inform us of his meeting with this

man,

Ali Ahmed Al -Joof.

Crack -fire.

Hey, this is the man that got bin Laden out of Tora Bora.

He deserves respect.

You were there, weren't you, Dave? The point is, gentlemen, that Al Joof is

in London.

And if he's here, then it's something big.

Sure. Bring it on.

At Agent Wisdom's meeting with Al Joof, he was asked to source a panel van.

Naturally, we supplied such a vehicle and sold with a tracker.

Since then, however, we've lost all communication with Agent Wisdom.

We have to assume that the tracker's gone missing.

We also have to assume that whatever task they needed the van for, it's going

ahead. A bomb.

Almost certainly.

But it's more than that, otherwise our juke wouldn't be involved.

Any fool can detonate a bomb, and our juke is no fool.

So, I thought you were taking the day off today.

Maria fell ill.

They asked me to cover.

Don't tell me you fancy him.

He's got this stuff in front of him.

No, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

Set them down wherever you like. He

wanted

to open the crate.

You want to know what's inside?

on the highest state of alert.

On the lookout for the van, Agent Wisdom, and Al Joof.

And what, we just got to sit here and wait?

Two minutes.

Make sure the Carabinieri and all their weapons are accounted for.

Send me a little boy.

Who are you people?

Put the ambassador with you guys.

Ladies and gentlemen, within a few minutes, the authorities and the world

will be gathered outside.

Unless you want to be a statistic on the lunchtime news, do as we say.

No heroics.

We're prepared to die.

I doubt you are.

Polly.

Are we supposed to recognize this guy?

Our juice was shot in the stomach by the Russians.

He has a bullet wound three inches to the right of his navel.

Gentlemen, stand to.

The good news is they found the van parked outside the Italian consulate.

The bad news is, as expected, it's packed with explosives.

Keep away from the window.

Italian consulate.

Buongiorno. Can I ask who I'm talking to?

Police or military?

Police. I'm Detective Inspector Bernie Coleman.

through this without any further loss of life.

Both you and I know that is not going to happen.

This is it, boys. The big one.

Finally get a take on Al -Qaeda.

Louie, if you knew what you were talking about, mate, you'd be dangerous.

Louie, unload the van. Keep it shut.

Call your snipers on.

If we do that, if, we'll need something in return.

Heads up.

Dave, we need you to check out the van as soon as you're ready.

What's wrong with the homesteads again?

They're not here yet. You are.

Bravo team, goal control.

Stand down.

Stand down.

Okay, you've got that. We've withdrawn our armed officers.

Who are you going to give us in return?

We still have a missing spook.

GCHQ want Al Joof alive.

That's Henry's call.

Al Joof will be a valuable source of information.

I never told.

We do not negotiate.

Get

the

extinguisher!

Let's get some help over here.

I'm sorry, I'm so -

They are so going to pay.

Where were the SO -19 snipers?

I've got another 50, if you... I had no idea what he was

planning, okay?

You're the negotiator, Bernie. You're supposed to know. You're meant to know

what's going on.

Yeah, well, Barker's already taken me off.

I've been replaced.

You only get the one chance to screw up.

So they made any demands?

Not yet, but they will.

And when we don't meet those demands, they're going to blow us all to shit.

Henry?

I believe you know DSJ Barker? Sergeant Garvey.

This is DS Barkley MacDonald.

He's taking over on the negotiating team. A police officer is dead because

removed your snipers.

Is Dave ready?

He's, uh, getting kitted up.

There you go.

Very fetching.

Oh, well, I just heard that.

Look, if I don't get blown to smithereens, maybe you and I could,

we have found

a vision?

We have visual. Speak to me. Testing, testing. One, two, three.

Very original.

Dave, when you're ready.

Nearly there.

Motion sensors and cameras online.

All we have to do now is initialize.

Now we have eyes and ears everywhere.

He needs help.

That doesn't look too good.

He needs a doctor.

Fifteen minutes.

The detonator's connected via a low -voltage cable to a mobile phone.

Press the button, screen lights off, voltage change, bomb explodes.

The phone is set to alarm, but it could go off at any time, although the boss

will have to do his call.

Can we disable it?

Any fluctuation in count would activate the switch.

Can't we just switch it off? Same thing applies.

Dave, can we use the jammer? There's another wire leading to a cellular

device.

My guess is if we bring a jammer within range, it would trigger the bomb.

I could be wrong.

All right, thanks, Dave, but you can get out of there now.

What do you propose we do?

Contact all the network service providers and have them shut down all

telephone masts in this area.

If we isolate the cell, then at least we only have the timing device to worry

about. There's no question of us mounting an assault until that's been

And then what?

We get bomb disposal to go in there and rig a controlled explosion.

Having said that, it's still likely to take out at least two blocks.

I think we should go for it.

If they wanted to blow the place up, they'd have done it by now.

Actually, Louis has a point.

That's what worries me.

I was saving for a new car.

A yellow convertible. Hey!

You're a security guard,

no?

What if I am?

Sit down! Please, we're doing what you ask, he's new.

Sit down!

You want a price?

You want to murder?

Murder me.

Are you a Christian?

Yes.

You believe in your God? I believe Jesus died for us, to save us from our Satan.

Did you ever consider you might have been misinformed?

Did you?

To kill, to murder, is wrong.

The Koran says so.

But this is jihad.

My conscience is clear.

Hey.

It's time.

Dave, what was Taravara really like? You never did say.

There's nothing much to say.

They wanted to die.

They call it living jihad. It's spiritual for them, you know.

You know, we get through the crap because we know that fear is our friend.

And in our enemies, it's like that flicker of weakness that makes us not a

human.

But those Al -Qaeda guys, their hearts are just alive.

They're just burning.

Okay, do it.

Broadcasting over the internet.

Is this a joke?

It's Al Jouf. We, the soldiers of Al -Baidah, have occupied this consulate

taken the ambassador, Senor Lupo, members of his staff, and the general

hostage. We demand... Cut out of the consulate. Get this stopped.

...prisoners being illegally held in Guantanamo Bay against Article 118 of

Geneva Convention.

United States and British authorities have two hours in which to respond.

Then people will die.

You will not.

Go again.

They got the message.

Cutting him off may have been a mistake.

The consulate have backup generators.

Congratulations, D .A .C. Barker. You've really pissed them off now.

Right, get this Ali Ahmed Al -Jouf on the phone.

Yeah, like the States are going to release no service from the bank.

Louie, you have no idea.

Robert. Ooh, someone's getting twitchy. Get your new boy to buy us time.

Enough to close down the cell.

Sir, we'll drop a plan of action.

Right.

Cathy.

What's the matter, Dave? Losing your ball?

He's a shit.

He is our shit.

Let him go.

I can't understand what you went through.

But that was then and it is now.

You can't hack it. You're off the job.

I'm alright.

Louis, the knife's sharp.

It's razor sharp. It's as sharp as it's going to get.

Unlike his brain.

You love me.

You want to have my babies.

Yeah, right. In your dreams, Louis.

All right.

Listen up.

We won't negotiate with them.

They won't negotiate with us.

It's not a question of if we go in, but when.

Any luck in closing down the firm, sir?

We're making progress.

It's not just this that's signal for neighbouring, sir.

Without it, we can't go in.

You're not going in, Aidan.

Robert. This is my show. I don't want a bloodbath. I have faith in my

negotiating team.

Listen.

We need more time.

It's not just our end.

The Foreign Office is talking to Washington. Washington is saying the

decision needs presidential approval.

You have just over one hour.

Relax.

We will have our jihad.

And we should thank Allah for this chance to show our love and devotion.

So,

Let them stand there as warriors against us.

We will fight.

We will show the world we are superior to the British SAS.

When they come, we will be ready.

Fortunately, the consulate was built in the days when security wasn't a major

issue. However, that doesn't mean it's going to be easy.

All windows on the ground floor are reinforced with steel bars.

Going through the main entrance, it's a no -no.

Getting a top team in shouldn't be a problem.

So far, this cell have anticipated every move made against them. There's little

doubt they've studied footage from the 1980 embassy job. So they'll be

a top team.

So, we give them a top team.

Blue Tree.

As a diversion, the main assault will come through the basement with Red Tree.

People, listen up.

If you have mobile phone, use them now.

One call.

We are not barbarians.

You, you have mobile?

Don't.

Use mine.

Who do I call?

Husband.

Boyfriend. Mum?

Say your goodbyes.

Mother?

All of you.

I might not be home tonight. I... Say your goodbyes.

Mummy, I... How do we get in?

The neighbouring basement wall at this point is non -supporting.

So we blast our way through.

And then what?

The stairs from the basement lead up through a fire door into ground floor

reception. Now, parabolic...

Place the hostages in the storeroom here. However, we expect the x -ray to

the hostages along the corridor into this conference room. It's more secure,

easier to defend.

I love you.

Can she... I don't suppose I'll ever be paying the bills.

You should phone home.

You're my cousin.

They killed us.

No.

No, we're no threat to them. Not if they get what they want.

It's the authorities we have to worry about.

We don't know what they're doing out there if they start shooting. Hey, what

you talking about?

I called my mother.

That's the last.

We're ready.

Why?

It's true.

It's true, mate.

What?

We've got to do something.

Like what?

Something.

Because if we don't, we're all going to die.

Noice down.

Thanks.

Do we have a problem? No.

It's just a misunderstanding.

They're not our truck.

Doesn't look like negotiations are going very well.

Robert's a stubborn stone, so he always was.

You might hand over till the last possible moment.

We'll be ready.

It's the deadline for the bomb to detonate that worries me.

We've got spooks all over the place looking for wisdom, Henry.

Find him, we may get an answer.

Sir?

Punch it up.

Henry?

What is this?

Nearly done.

The world is watching.

He's not really going to do it, is he?

It looks that way.

Get him on the phone.

I keep trying, but he won't answer.

He's going to do it.

I'd say the time for negotiation is over.

I'm the only person you need here.

Whatever you cause, whatever you aim, the political pressure of my government

the British and the Americans makes me your star hostage.

Let the others go.

Very noble of you.

Please.

They have done nothing.

They are part of the system.

They pay their taxes. They elect their leaders.

They give the politicians power. We have movement on the roof.

Full assault team. Arm to the teeth.

Company. Okay, everybody.

Top team assault.

Shall I start a house?

Have you lost your mind?

Hello.

This

is

what they've been waiting for.

My men are trained to the same exacting standards that your men are. Bullshit!

Except they think before they shoot. If you think you can outwit Aljuve, you're

insane!

is still alive. Your men are carrying out a textbook assault and Al Joof has

read every page in that book. They killed an innocent man in cold blood.

refused to negotiate. I had to do something. What?

To save your job.

Henry!

That's enough.

Two of them.

How much more men do you have to take?

Robert!

How many more men do you have to lose?

Go control.

Call them up.

It's not going to die. Not yet.

Here.

Come on.

Sophie, you do the compressions.

One, two, three, four, five.

What were they trying to do? They could have killed us.

So that was SAS?

We showed them, huh?

We showed the world.

Police.

Barricade the entrance to the storeroom. Use the furniture.

How is he?

How is he?

He's dead.

Robert, give us the authority to act.

Robert?

That's good, Henry. Sir?

One of the fallen officers has left an open channel.

This is barbaric.

We might learn something.

What did he do that for?

He said... Then it won't hurt him.

We're ready.

Put the hostages in the conference room. Put the GBMG on the stairs.

He's no use to us like that. We stick to the plan.

Move! Move!

Move! Three voices, one authoritative in control.

At least one X -ray's been hit.

No one. Nothing comes in our...

Listen up!

Senor Lupo was today murdered by the British.

They cannot be trusted. The Americans cannot be trusted.

Why are they allowed to violate international law?

We've traced the main server of our Karachi.

Can you pull the plug?

Who gives... Just when it was getting interesting.

Why are they allowed to circumvent Article 118 of the Geneva Convention?

They found the server.

Haram!

SIGINT have made an intercept of a coded message between two known players.

They believe the bomb is expected to be detonated at midnight.

Well, at least that gives us time to get the van out of here.

But they're still concerned for the safety of Agent Wisdom.

He and an Al -Qaeda intelligence officer are unaccounted for.

And they still insist they'll do to be taken alive.

Right.

Mobile signal.

It's down.

This is it, boys.

Gentlemen!

Your FAPs, please.

Six -man team on the roof.

Better equip this time.

Now we take on the bed.

All call signs.

This is Zero Alpha.

Confirm you are in final assault positions.

This is Romeo 1 -0 -Alpha. Standing by in FAP -1.

Rebel 1 -0 -Alpha, roger that. Stacked up and ready in FAP -2.

Zero -One, have visual and radio -wise aspect.

Zero -Alpha, roger that.

All call signs in position and ready. Wait out.

Everybody under the table. Now, move!

You! You!

Here.

Move! Well done, my cousin.

Thank you.

Now we must execute the plan to its conclusion.

You are ready, aren't you?

Drew?

Shut up!

Or you die.

You were supposed to take the day off.

Are you sure he can't detonate the bomb?

I'm sure.

All call signs.

I have control.

Stand by.

The best advice.

Thank you.

Most in temper.

Sneaky bastard.

is true.

This is madness.

Make them stop.

Sophie, I believe in what I'm doing.

This is a just and holy war.

Keep your head down.

All right, watch out for creepy tracks.

On there.

One, two.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry you had to be here for this.

I'm sorry about Paul.

Move!

X -ray dial, first floor landing. You okay?

I'm getting bothered.

I'm going to help you change it like God.

Two X -rays down, first floor corridor.

Use the bomb.

They forced our hand. There's no shame in it.

My friend, we should talk.

I am unarmed.

Do it!

Ali Ahmed Alju.

And you are?

Sergeant British Army.

Outside is a bomb large enough to kill us all.

You?

Me, your men, my men.

One simple phone call.

I wouldn't do that if I were you.

You cannot win, soldier.

We welcome death.

To us, it is a victory.

Your wife, your mother, will weep tears of sorrow at your funeral.

My wife, my mother, all weep tears of joy.

My place in heaven is assured.

As is your place.

What's the matter?

Couldn't get a signal?

You slut!

Get him a medic.

Oh, are you?

We need him to talk. He won't. They never do.

Lift your head.

What's your name?

It's a local bikini.

Wasn't he a Ford for Roma?

I don't listen.

Lift your head.

You're the bloke on the telly.

I'm sorry, what's your answer?

Sir!

SIGINT have misinterpreted the intercept.

Zero hour is midnight in local time, in Karachi.

What time is there here?

We're at five hours, that makes it seven o 'clock.

That gives us less than half an hour. I know what you're thinking, Henry, but

it's bomb squad now. We're going to see an area of people in time. Bomb becomes

live as soon as you get the signal.

I understood, but what's the alternative?

I don't know.

I may read from the... Then you're going to take it.

Traxton Quarry near Heathrow.

Clear it.

Alley -o -four for me.

Sir?

We need a blackout on news coverage.

GCHQ are closing in on the Al -Qaeda intelligence officer and our missing

Wisdom. If the intelligence officer finds out the bomb is on the move, he'll

able to remote detonate it.

Thank you. Sir, you have an address for the intelligence officer.

Stop him.

Lethal force.

Sir.

Who's the joker on the mic?

He's trying to get in the back of the truck.

I know, you've got an X -ray to tell.

your wisdom.

All right, mate.

We'll get you out of here.

6 .59.
