What are you doing?

Get face to the wall!

What have you done with my brother?

You've got to look after him. Don't play games with me, what's your problem?

I can't eat.

My son is diabetic.

He needs insulin injections every six hours, else he'll fall into a coma and

die. So how long does that give us? 24, maybe 48 hours.

It's the ransom demand.

Where's it come from? Same internet cafe.

Is there an introduction?

The alumnus Dan hopes she's a corporate risk consultant with insurance

companies.

Oh.

Oh, well.

You want to start them proper undercover, didn't you? I'm not sure I

this. Thanks for that.

I'm new to all this.

I see that. We don't want the police involved, and we've got insurance.

How much does the policy cost?

Kidnap and ransom expenses up to 40 million pounds.

Just pay them off, then. I'm tired.

It's exorbitant. Just how much are my children worth?

This is where we've found out if the filth are involved.

How is that? Well, it's the police. They'll try and organize the job off so

can catch him. You ought to know, we're paying two million to good causes and a

million in cash.

No, no, no, no, no. You've dropped off a zero.

Twenty and ten.

No, you know the rules. Ten percent, that's all.

I hope you two know what you're talking about.

They've left the money behind.

They must have known the money was marked.

I'm taking over.

You can't do this to me.

You've underestimated the kidnappers all along.

Calls me abducted.

I went to see your superiors to protect the health and safety of the public, the

police force and you.

Well, it's not me who needs protection.

A less experienced counsellor could construe that remark as a threat. Well,

construe all you want.

You're an armed policeman, Liam. You go undercover among the general public.

It'd be criminally irresponsible of me not to check on your mental health. Oh,

yeah, yeah, I'm unstable.

I have problems with interpersonal relationships. My marriage is on the

And because of me, Garth has been kidnapped.

Now, I'm capable of anything.

And if anyone's responsible for that, it's you.

And what do you feel like doing to me now?

Would hurting me make you feel better?

I think I'll fall for that.

I wouldn't give you the pleasure.

What pleasure?

Of busting me out of the job for good.

Don't walk out on this, Liam.

You won't help your case. And you won't help Garth.

Who are you?

Who's down here?

Speak up!

So it could be one good reason why I should trust you ever again.

How about because without a letter from me, you'll never get back into

undercover work?

That's blackmail.

So who do you work for?

What do you do?

Who are you?

I don't know. Tell us who you really are.

How's he going to cope? You want a professional opinion?

Hostile survival depends on the person's sense of identity.

Suddenly the victim becomes powerless and subject to prolonged isolation.

So what does that mean?

He loves his job.

Putting on different masks, different faces.

And if you take that away, what's left?

What's a doble?

It's a gambit used by left -wing Colombian kidnappers. They take one

then they come back for a second.

A lot of the tactics they used suggest we're looking at a hardline anarchist

cell.

How's Toby recovering from his ordeal?

He misses his sister.

Stop mollycoddling the boy.

I ought to be getting home.

But Ariane wants to talk about the IPO.

I have other things on my mind.

Lean was wrong -footed from the beginning.

We're starting from scratch here. Look at this.

Fiona Wattington, special branch file.

Fiona was an active member of several left -wing and green groups in the early

80s. She was arrested on Greenham Common.

You don't think she'd kidnap her own children?

The family, anything at all.

Take that away from me.

Thank you.

Sir, do you watch videos?

I haven't time.

I'm handcuffed to this desk, to the case itself.

The whole MO, the voice distortion, the nursing garth in water, it's exactly the

same as this film.

Don't make this a bigger drama than it is already.

Look, you're well staffed. Can I go back on the street? My informant says he

knows where the gang hides out.

Do you really like living in cardboard boxes?

No, I hate it.

But it could be the only chance we have of finding Garth.

Okay, you can go back undercover for a couple of days only.

Then I want you back at base.

Thank you.

Hello, Kelly.

What are you doing here? Can I come in?

Yeah.

You look terrible.

You don't look so good yourself.

Where's your tip?

Tribute to Garth.

How do you do?

Where's your proof of life?

I'm going to go back on the street, see if we can track down their hideout.

What are you doing with this?

Kidnappers copied it.

I thought maybe it'd give more clues about how they operate.

I told Anderson that, but he rubbished the idea.

Well, you can't blame him. He's got senior management crawling all over him.

He's got a plaque behind the book. That's not the point, Liam.

You're off the case.

Suspended.

It was my fault.

I left Garth exposed. I'm sat here kicking meals. I should be out there

for him. You do that and you'll lose your job.

Thank you.

You are going crazy, Garth. You're talking to yourself.

Look, I should be telling you this.

Ariadne's been made chief executive.

Yeah, well, this whole thing got played into her hands.

She's also very macy with your friend Eleanor.

So what does Alison say about this?

Oh, you don't need to go there.

She's got some feeling in her on it about Fiona's past.

I'll try and keep it posted as much as I can, okay?

What have you done?

Right.

You're picking off the truth now.

Liam, what are you doing here?

I'm not sure.

I don't know what to do with myself.

We can't talk about the operation anymore.

I hear Ariane has been made chief executive.

Do you want to go for a drink?

Yeah.

I'm thinking of resigning from the special ops.

Going into private consultancy.

You love your job.

I'm sick of the politics and the red tape.

I need the money.

Think you can help me out?

Let's wait until this kidnap's resolved.

I've been trying to figure out where it all went wrong.

They were much more organised than we thought.

No, no, I don't mean that.

I've just seen you again.

Boiled back.

Nothing's been done.

My job is at risk.

You've got to eat something.

No, I don't have to do anything. I don't want to.

I know you put magic mushrooms in that shit.

We could force it.

Try it, Derby.

Oh, and you better tell Mr. Blatter that the insurance cut me. No, I'm still

alive.

Can you put a good word in with the insurance company for me? I don't know

I'm going to be there much longer myself.

I've already lost two million on this job, thanks to you, and we haven't

retrieved all the hostages.

Well, you'll get work as a risk consultant somewhere.

I mean, Waddington Media would probably hire you.

Do you want to invite me in for coffee, then?

Are you thinking of Papa?

You hungry?

Yeah, hi.

Can I, um... Can I get the set menu for two?

Yeah.

Yeah.

The Nagurian selection?

Yeah.

Actually, um, can you cancel that order?

What are you doing?

Sir, Ariane has offered you a job. You never stop. How dare you?

Yeah, what's she expect you to do in return? I think you'd better go.

You're not telling me everything.

Liam, please, go.

I'm for hire.

That's the business.

And if you want a job, you better understand that the rules are different.

Rules? I don't see any rules.

The first rule is survival.

Simple. I couldn't do what you do.

Not for all the money in the world.

Fine.

Haven't you got a home to go to?

No.

I thought you were never coming back. Where have you been?

At the bar. It's a free country.

You still owe me 20 quid.

Any luck finding your friends?

You heard anything?

Maybe. What's it worth?

Oi!

You know that time your friend Emma gave you the slip?

Oh. Well I think I know where she went.

Who are you?

I was trying to get you released. Don't talk to me.

It's okay.

It's okay. I'm not going to hurt you.

Here, put this on.

Why have they put us in here together?

What are they up to?

Yes, the video ransom.

What I need is a list of unusual rentals or failed returns in the last six

months. It's central London area.

Well,

I'll get back to you in about an hour.

OK, then.

Hello, Liam.

How are you doing?

I've been better.

I see.

I had a call from your shrink today.

What's her name?

Sophie. Yeah.

What's she want? Well, I think she's trying to suss me out about the state of

our marriage.

You didn't tell her anything? No.

But she had the cheek to ask me if I thought you'd been having an affair.

What do you say?

Oh, I said you never tell me anything. Oh, great.

So now she doesn't think I've become withdrawn or something.

I told her you were always like that. So you don't know?

Yeah, I've just thought it's not really fair, Mum.

You have to ration yourself out now, do you?

Yeah, well, both my adolescent parents need me.

What, you have your midlife crisis?

Yeah, I think that.

Is it alright if I keep down there? I'm going to be for a couple of nights.

Suit yourself, then.

Cheers.

We're getting closer.

Where did you get this?

Up there.

I'm coming with you. It might not be safe.

They're going to need me even more.

Look, this is no labels group.

They're kind of a cult.

I think they've got Emma brainwashed or something.

I'm trying to get her out.

OK.

Information is power.

And the best source of information?

Get people talking.

Why wouldn't my family just pay up and have done with it?

They tried. There was a cock -up. That's why I'm here.

What went wrong?

The use marked money.

See what I mean?

My family wouldn't do that if they really cared.

They didn't know.

I've met your mother.

She'd give anything to get you home.

You've met my mother?

How?

That doesn't matter. All that matters is that your family love you and they want

you back.

My family doesn't love me. They love money and fame and power.

All they care about is profit and loss.

That's them talking. Yeah, but it's true.

I can't blame my mother. It runs in the blood.

Have you met my grandfather?

I've had that dubious pleasure.

A mildly tight -fisted control freak.

Go on, say what you really mean.

Imagine being the child of a man like that.

I don't have to do much imagining.

My father was just like that.

Give or take a few million.

You can't choose your parents, Maggie.

Tell me something I don't know.

But you don't have to be a victim of your own background.

You can make your own choices.

That's him.

What are you going to do?

Look, Bobby, I'm going to come clean with you.

I've told the police about him.

The filth. They look crazy.

Imagine if I was them.

These guys are heavy.

If anything happens to me, I want you to call DCI Anderson, the anti -kidnap

unit, OK?

OK?

Excuse me. Kelly.

What are you doing here?

I checked the video stores for unreturned copies of Ransom. One was

a false name from a shop round here.

If Anderson finds out about this... Who's he?

My informant.

He's coming over.

Everything all right? All right, yeah. Fine, Bobby.

The false alarm is an old friend of mine. Not so much of the old.

Yeah? A bit longer than a two for you. That's not what she used to say. It was

long time ago.

It wasn't that long ago.

You mean you too.

Do you mind, Bobby? We've got a lot of catching up to do.

We have quite a lot in common, really.

How's that?

I was brought up on an estate, so were you.

A country estate.

Don't go on about it.

Makes no odds in the end.

Too rich, too poor. Either way, you get obsessed by money.

If my mother cared that much, why didn't she get the police in?

You're not telling me everything.

There are some things it's better not to know.

Don't treat me like a kid. That's better.

Piss off.

Good. Fight and talk.

Sod your family, sod them all. You don't owe your life to anyone.

Find that angry voice inside you.

The one that lets you know who you are.

And who are you?

OK, positive survival lesson number one. Don't make eye contact, don't look

weak, don't look too strong.

Hold them down.

Hey, hey, it's OK.

I wouldn't be so sure about that.

Look, if you're going to cut me, do it here.

How do you know what we're going to do? You need proof of life. Why else would

you have brought the paper? There's less nerve endings there. Don't try and be

cute, unless you want to spend the night in the freezer unit.

He's a pig.

He's got to be. You don't have to be a policeman to know that. You just have to

have a bit of that.

We'll have.

This is the perfect kidnap.

Foolproof. Nothing's foolproof to dedicated idiots.

You better shut up or I'm going to take another slice.

From the girl.

Okay.

Come on.

Do it.

Do everything we tell you and you might get out of this alive.

Make sure you speak to the original negotiator. You don't want anyone else

screwing this up.

Get her out!

ring if I need anything else.

So what are the sleeping arrangements?

Bobby's been looking after me.

Don't worry, it's purely botanic. Yeah, from your point of view, maybe.

What was it you told me?

Make your target love you.

Yeah.

Is he staying with us?

Yes, it's all right with you.

Yesterday's a day.

What are you doing?

Well, we can't all sleep in the same bed.

I don't want to meet at all.

Look, he's just going to help me find Emma.

He knows what we're up against and he can look after himself.

And won't you find Emma?

He goes.

I promise.

Last one.

Your friend, he'll deliver it to the couriers.

Yeah. Look what he found.

Almost saw it on our logo.

Yep. Jarvis will do his nut.

Oi.

Hi.

You getting cosy in there?

Bobby, what's going on?

I've seen Emma and Wadden.

Apparently some bloke was handing them out. They're using our name. They're

stealing our ideas.

Does it really matter? I mean, ideas are for free.

Of course it matters.

Information is power.

It's ideas that change the world.

No labels, that was my idea.

Relax.

Someone's just trying to push your buttons.

Yes.

But why now?

Come on, think about it.

Someone's trying to send us a message.

Do you want me to check it out?

It's Garth.

We have proof our officer is still alive or was 12 hours ago. How much do they

want? It's not money they want this time.

They want you to publish an open letter in all your papers and on your website.

Information is power.

For 50 years, Claydon Waddington has dominated the media industry.

He says he is now thinking of his place in history and we want to put the record

straight. He has consistently fought every major democratic reform for nearly

half a century.

He supported the Pinochet regime in Chile and apartheid in South Africa.

This must be defamatory.

No, it's true.

His media empire includes logging companies who use indentured native

destroy miles and miles of rainforest.

They threaten to start executing hostages tomorrow morning if you don't

it.

You don't understand.

I've just resigned as head of publishing.

What are you doing?

I've made a tactical plan based on what I've heard. I've worked out all the

exits and entrances.

There are only four of them.

What are you doing with them? Backup plan, escape and evasion.

Escape?

Well, if we're not ransomed, rescued or released, it's the only way out.

Right, here we go. Hostage survival lesson number two.

Let your captors see you as human.

Do anything to let them see you as human. Be their daughter, sister, best

friend, whatever.

Just stay alive.

Let it off.

I'd love to meet the guy who wrote that.

Fuck you, dog.

You wouldn't know anything about this, would you?

Anti -capitalist, anti -globalisation, anti -everything.

They told you about them?

No, no. What do you know?

Sound like a right bunch of loonies to me.

Abducting young girls. What?

I've heard they make real cults of themselves.

Where do you hear that from?

Can I go off? Not yet, but they've had proof of life.

Fresh blood.

They've also had a second ransom demand.

Hazen's got to publish another letter. They're learning to go see it with you.

No, I'm off the case.

Anderson had no choice.

Reinstated.

So why are they looking for Emma?

She thought that she'd been kidnapped by the group being brainwashed.

Emma? Kidnapped?

She's spoken to some policemen at the anti -kidnap unit. Anti -kidnap?

What else did this girl say? Where is she now?

You're lying.

She'd be put alone. That's not it.

Kelly!

Run!

It's okay, Bobby.

Someone's never been happier than the one we love.

Don't cry.

Don't cry.

I know you've tried to speak up to me.

And it's only the hand you lose.

Bobby, hold on.

Hold on. I mean it.

You're going to be all right.

Hold on.

Kelly.

Kelly. The ambulance is on its way.

He's gone.

He's gone. Let's go. Come on. Let's go.

Let's go.

I won't be told what to publish in my paper.

We can always print a retraction the following day, Dad.

How much do they want?

They don't want money.

Well, everyone has their price.

They want the open letter published tomorrow.

Otherwise, hostages will be killed.

No.

I can't do it.

I won't let them take away my good name.

Liam? What happened, dear?

It's a long story. I heard you need a negotiator.

We did when we had something to negotiate.

Claydon refuses to publish the letter.

Refuses, point blank, thinking of his place in history.

Where's Kelly?

Going to get cleaned up.

Maybe you should follow suit.

Yeah, her informant died from stab wounds today.

We know this gang is capable of murder now.

Yes, they'll side you on.

Look, just because someone pays me doesn't mean they have me in their

Prove it.

How? There must be something you can do.

Not while Claydon is still chairman.

He might not want to publish the letter, but a rival paper might be interested

in this story.

What's the name of that rival he talked about?

Henry Solomon.

You coming?

If another paper got the story, that would force his hand, yeah?

You're devious.

We're a good match.

Is that Henry Solomon?

You may have heard some rumours about your rivals at Waddington Media.

The directors should disclose all liabilities before they become a PLC.

An abducted granddaughter, for example, would be a massive liability.

They said they were looking for me.

Something about you being kidnapped and brainwashed.

They said they'd even spoken to the anti -kidnap unit.

Anti -kidnap?

They might have followed you. Don't worry.

I know how to cover my tracks.

Look, I've been around.

Stockholm, Genoa, research farms, GM crops.

I've even chained myself to oil rigs.

This is all getting out of hand. What's this?

The meeting of anarchists is synonymous.

Look, Sab's told me what happened.

It's all misinformation.

It's just psychological warfare.

You'd better remember why we're doing this.

It's for a good cause.

Do anything.

Stay alive.

Any luck with the plate?

Spilled them from a hire van about a month ago.

They'll have changed them by now. We're narrowing down the area.

At this rate, we'll find Garth's body in a couple of weeks.

I've got Special Branch working on the open letter. They're putting it through

some text recognition software.

You OK?

Yeah.

You've got to get some distance from your targets.

You told me to make him love me, Liam.

If I hadn't done that, he'd still be alive.

Am I talking to Liam?

Yes.

Don't waste time. I just want everyone out there safely so we can all go home.

Just so you know what we're dealing with.

Do you know?

Yeah, what is it? The power of the freezer unit.

Your field officer's going to get very cold in the next ten hours.

Let's not escalate things. Let's just resolve the issue. The only issue we

about is the next edition of the Waddington papers.

If our open letter is not published tomorrow, you're going to have to carve

friend out of a block of ice.

We need to take every piece of plant and cold storage facility within a 20 -mile

radius. But that means restaurants, refrigerated containers.

There could be thousands.

We need a sign of goodwill. Can you release the girl first?

No, not this time.

Publish. I'll be down.

What if they don't publish it?

They're well.

Two lives are at stake.

But what if they don't?

You told us you were going to make a statement.

Against the media, against the system.

That letter's just a personal attack on Clayton Worthington.

Is it really worth all this?

It's not just personal. It's political, too.

I used to work here during the summer holidays.

I saw the animals coming in here to be broken, herded around, humiliated,

of burden.

And I realised then that we are just like animals.

We're herded around, humiliated, we're spirits broken.

Information is power.

We'll publish an attack on one of the country's biggest newspaper proprietors.

We'll subvert the whole medium.

We're going to make them wake up to the lies.

It's one newspaper.

People will eat their chips from it the next day.

Hello there.

How nice to see you.

You remember Liam? Of course.

I had a call from Henry Solomon.

I believe you spoke to him earlier today.

Somehow, he's got wind of our domestic problems.

I've spoken to your employer about the leak.

And in the circumstances...

Ariane and I agree that it would be inappropriate to appoint you to the

Is that all you care about?

I saw a young man choke to death in his own blood today.

Now, in a few hours' time, that could be your granddaughter.

What do you expect me to do? Publish the letter.

How do I know that it'll make any difference they tricked you the last

I'm only a newspaper man. I just report what happens.

Why should I take the blame?

Are you sure you want to die with this on your conscience?

Oh, what about you?

How do you live with yourself?

You've never abandoned your kids, I suppose. Never sacrificed them for your

beliefs.

A clear conscience is a sign of a bad memory.

Come on, Liam. We can't do any more here.

Don't they adjust yet?

I'm tired.

I need to rest.

Well, today there was a meeting at the Merchant Banks.

We shouldn't discuss business in front of Fiona anymore.

Don't try to play us off against each other now.

You always did that, didn't you? What are you talking about?

Divide and rule.

A healthy competition never hurt anyone.

It hurt me.

You should see this.

You've made Fiona chair?

Thank you.

Thank you.

You're wasting your time. We've combined share allocations.

It's a done deal.

Fiona, I can understand.

But Ariane... You always taught me to be ruthless.

It was the smart thing to do.

They were looking for a way to get rid of you anyway.

With my support as chairman, Ariane has decided to publish the letter.

Are

you

all right?

You've had a good run, Dad.

Enjoy your retirement.

Papers should be going to press now.

Looks like we can discount Ariane as the insider.

Yeah, and Clayton. He's the biggest loser.

The worst thing about the policy?

Anything, really.

You still think I'm capable of doing anything for money?

Special branch have come through. For once.

Jarvis Hepton. Remember how they caught the Unabomber in the States? They

printed his manifesto and someone recognised his style.

We compared it to the writing of other known activists and came up with a name.

And a possible location.

Jarvis Hepton used to work part -time at an army stable.

Here.

Still alive?

Let's hope we get a paper delivery today.

Don't forget I know where you live.

Turn down in the street.

That's right.

You must come by sometime.

Eyeball on X -ray zero one. Now heading back westward.

Strike team on standby.

You can't lift her now. They'll know we're here. Then we get some

Permission to proceed.

Mike, safety first.

We'll bust a gut to get that letter published.

I'll do it my way.

I've made the mistake before of underestimating them. Liam, I have

command. Target on plot.

We shouldn't move before we know the whole picture. Could still be an inside

job.

Target on plot.

Stand down.

She's coming.

Well, I've done it.

There's even a picture of the old man.

Oh, this is great.

I think I saw someone on the track.

Stop it.

I knew we shouldn't have let her run.

Can you see anything?

Maybe I must have seen something.

one way of finding out.

Get a blanket to cover

her up!

What happened?

We hit the vehicle on the track.

So far, so good.

Megan, have a police officer.

Shit!

Stop.

Shit!

They've got us.

We've still got the hostages. Come on.

You've been in prison before. Do you want to go back there?

Better than holding the ground.

Jarvis, this isn't a game, you know.

There's armed police all over the place there.

You know what they're like.

We've got one of their own. They're not going to take any prisoners, are they?

Let me talk to the girl.

You and the girl?

You're obsessed with her.

Will you shut up?

Just do what I say.

We were supposed to be a collective.

I've debriefed the two suspects.

They've got a shotgun, gas in the cold storage room, Megan's in one of the

stores. Montana, we can't go in. We see they're going in that before school

hostage crisis.

We'd better get a negotiator.

I'm a trained negotiator. Have you forgotten the first rule? I can do it.

No, you're too close, Liam. Too close.

Get back against the wall!

Look, you'd better take this, just in case.

It's him. Permission to issue a warning. He's given himself up, Kelly. He could

be bluffing. You saw what he did to Bobby. Yeah, so did you.

Save it for the witness. Hey, easy now.

Kelly.

Is everything okay?

I'm not going back.

I'll never go back.

What's this?

Have you spoken to her? Is she all right? Everything seems to be under

Cut him up.

Follow him. That's the path he has, don't we? It's okay.

If you feel more comfortable with that.

You see, I found that angry voice inside my head.

That voice that tells me who I am.

So what are we going to do now?

He's not from the insurance company.

I know that much. I bet he's a policeman.

I've never hurt one of their own.

What's so funny?

You had me, fool.

It wasn't hard.

What was it we were saying about families?

You don't have to be a victim of your own background.

You can make your own choices.

Yeah, well, I've done that. I'm nothing like my family.

Well, that's what's so funny.

You sound exactly like your grandfather.

Excuse me.

Excuse me!

Who's holding the gun here?

I just wish I could let Megan know how much she's really worth.

You asked me once if I had a daughter myself.

I do.

This has been nagging me stupid for months to drive the car.

I gave in.

A few days later, she prangs it.

She feels just like Megan.

Yeah, it doesn't matter.

It's covered by insurance.

Did Megan know about the kidnapped insurance?

Once, we were arguing.

She said I made her feel worthless.

And I said, if she only knew how much she was insured for.

You don't think she could... Command at Lima Zero Two.

Can't answer it. It's a negotiator.

You want to get out of here alive, don't you?

They won't hurt us. You don't know what they'll do.

Don't listen to him.

He's trying to scare you, Jarvis. You only got into this because of her,

you? Don't listen to him. You love her, don't you? You don't want to see her get

hurt. Don't be a bullshit.

It's too late now.

It's never too late, Jarvis. You can always turn back.

Yes? What are you doing?

Don't talk to them.

Yes.

They knew.

What? How do they know?

They knew everything.

I'm sorry, darling.

I've been a terrible mother.

I know I have.

I paid your bills.

I went through the motions.

I thought I loved you.

But I didn't know what love meant.

I wasn't there when you needed me.

I didn't listen.

I didn't care enough.

It's taken me this long to realize that I can change.

I can learn.

You've taught me so much.

Come home.

I'm not going home.

Come

on.

It's over.

You've got everything you wanted.

Tell him, Jarvis, it wasn't just about my family.

Of course, it was the principal.

That's why we had to keep it secret from the others.

They would have thought it was just personal. It's not. No, it's political.

And you've been heard by them.

By the world.

You've got everyone's attention.

You too.

You understand that?

I understand.

Put the gun down, Jarvis.

Situation report, have you got the hospital?

All right, we're both done now, all right?

Situation report, update.

You okay?

It wasn't just about the money.

You were right.

I was wrong.

Well, come.

Don't go now.

I'm sorry. It was my fault.

Say again?

You were right. I was wrong.

I heard you the first time.

You're back.
