Original subtitles

Unidentified government agents. Talk of a new world order.

Are you implying we may both have some bad apples in our cart?

I've got a full list of mobile phones active in the same cell around the time of his death.

And?

Sarah was no more than five metres away when he fell.

Walker's death... It threw me.

I understand.

Do you?

Can't have been easy for you.

No.

Being close to someone,

finding out they're not who you thought they were.

It's painful.

Sarah was at the meeting in Basel.

She was there.

-Are you sure? -Walker was on his way to finding that out. He's dead.

HARRY: I'm finished.

-Home Secretary. -Sir Harry.

I think Nightingale drove his predecessor from office.

Do you think, Lawrence could be theirs?

I don't like being messed about. I'll decide on the payback.

You're with them. Nightingale.

-They'll kill me, Lucas. It's you or me. -Who are they?

You have no idea how big they are. They are taking over.

-Nightingale's been stirring things up. -What the hell is their game?

Attacks in the UK, six billion transferred to an unknown destination in Pakistan,

Home Secretary forced from office.

-And we're still missing pieces. -That's what worries me.

What's next?

FEMALE NEWSCASTER: A series of global terror attacks...

There are being simultaneous attacks in the US and Holland.

His replacement, General Azim Ali...

Nightingale's man is running the Pakistani army.

Their forcing India and Pakistan into open conflict.

Or worse.

Nuclear war.

(SPEAKING HINDI)

(SPEAKING HINDI)

(HORN SOUNDS)

Reports are correct.

Indian sub fished up by the Pakistani navy and forced into Karachi harbour,

where the TV cameras were already whirring.

So what happens now?

General Ali has already been on Pakistani television crowing about the capture.

Meanwhile, the Indians have issued a deadline of a week for the return of the sub.

-Otherwise all bets are off. -Oh. Deadlines are bad.

Somebody will have to blink.

That's Russell Price, CIA Head of Operations, in Europe.

They're really nervous if he's here.

Good to see you, Russell.

We're gonna have to bring everybody around a table, Harry, get in some pizzas.

-The Indians are incandescent. -Oh, yeah.

They're getting pretty Finding Nemo about the whole thing.

Our satellites are showing a build-up of troops in Kashmir.

You know that General Azim Ali is on record

as having said he finds the Indians more of a threat than the Taliban?

Still not an uncommon view in those parts.

The Secretary of State is on standby.

We're cracking lots of heads behind the scenes.

Pakistani President Mudasser is the guy we can work with.

Well, except he's not calling the shots any more.

General Ali has used the Pakistani Military to sideline his own President.

Then we need to get Mudasser's back and isolate the hardliners on both sides.

Once we get the talks started, we'll kick some ass.

Well, he seems confident they can stop it.

65 years we've had a nuclear deterrent.

And not since the Cuban missile crisis has it seemed so likely to be used.

The submarine was a calculated pretext?

Somebody's pushing this right to the edge.

-HARRY: Home Secretary... -Ah.

Sorry. Twitter update. They, um, like us to seem with it.

A phrase that probably won't earn me

the freedom of Shoreditch any time soon, so...

Please, come in.

(CLEARS THROAT)

The Prime Minister has asked us to step in to stop this potential conflict.

Apart from the millions in India and Pakistan who will perish if this goes nuclear,

the impact on the rest of the world will be enormous.

It could easily escalate.

The situation is... It's unthinkable.

The PM got on the blower to the American President this morning.

We're inviting the Indian and Pakistani leaders to London for emergency talks.

The Americans will send their Secretary of State.

Okay.

Do you think the Pakistanis will play ball?

Well, clearly the situation in Pakistan is complicated.

I think we need to support the civilian President

and try and bolster him up against the hardliners within the military.

Easier said than done with General Ali in the driving seat.

I agree. Uh, so we give President Mudasser all our support.

Now I actually know him. I was at Cambridge with him.

And I will use all my powers to persuade him to release the submarine.

I don't think we should underestimate the, the personal touch.

When are the talks happening?

The main players arrive in the next few hours.

The PM will be in Chequers with the America's Secretary of State.

And they will intervene as and when.

I'm confident that you can deal with all the security issues

this will inevitably throw up, Sir Harry.

The PM's relying on us.

Which annoyed you more... Twitter or the fact he went to Cambridge?

Actually it was when he said the PM got on the blower

to the President of the United States.

Of course.

The UN Secretary General has appealed to all sides

to step back from the brink of confrontation over the submarine crisis.

Meanwhile, the Indian Government has suggested

that it will renounce its "no first strike" policy

in favour of a more aggressive approach...

(PHONE RINGS)

Yes? This is Janie Harding.

Send him up.

-How was India? -Hot.

Well, it's gonna get hotter.

How far down the road are we?

They're flying in the Indians and Pakistanis for talks.

So it's all going according to plan.

Both sides under one roof?

Did you get what we need? The Indian signature.

Straight out of the factory in Pune. Hotter than a curry.

Only used by the Indian military.

You got any doubts?

No.

You got any doubts about me?

I don't. Some do.

You're still a tax-and-spend, pro-choice, godless liberal, right?

Look, if we don't do this, one day in the next decade,

the Taliban are going to take control of a nuclear state

-and that'll be the end. -Know what your problem is?

You're way too smart to fill into just one camp.

Yeah. It takes a little bit more than flattery to get me into bed, Russell.

Are you forgetting who I am?

(WHISPERS) I could destroy you, remember.

Not this godless liberal.

What's an Ml5 pretty boy got that I don't?

You just answered your own question.

(SCOFFS)

I want you to kill him.

Why?

Because we need to know there's no lingering emotional tie

that might prove difficult.

-There isn't. -Well, then there shouldn't be a problem.

Lucas North is good, right? So better out of the way.

Do it soon and I'll be able to stop fielding questions about your commitment to the cause.

-Submarine update? -Unchanged.

Oh, there's an emergency meeting of the UN security council this afternoon.

Okay.

Well, our focus has to be on the group who seem to be manufacturing this crisis.

RUTH: General Azim Ali, Chief of Military Command in Pakistan,

and probable benefactor of Nightingale's largesse to the tune of $6 billion.

Now more powerful than the President in many ways,

he has close links to the Chinese

and he's definitely the man behind the submarine crisis.

Hans Lindemann, millionaire fixer.

Now we suspect he's behind the Basel meeting,

but, as of yet, we can't confirm his presence there.

Nicholas Blake, forced out of the Home Office by Nightingale for reasons unknown.

His successor, Andrew Lawrence.

Now, he has no proven connection to Nightingale,

but they clearly had an agenda for getting Nicholas Blake out.

Was it to get Andrew Lawrence in?

Sarah Caulfield. We now have evidence she left the UK two weeks ago.

She took a flight to Frankfurt using an alias. Now off our radar.

Showing just how much of a new broom she is

by helping organise the terror attacks before she left.

Why would she betray both her principles and her government like that?

Money?

It won't be money.

You know her.

At present, we have more questions than answers,

but we do know all of these people

are in some way linked to a conspiracy to provoke a war between India and Pakistan.

A potential nuclear war.

ROS: We can't ignore China in this, what's their position?

Biggest player in the region.

There is no way Pakistan would have moved on the submarine without their backing.

So, how are they involved, and why?

India's set a deadline of a week for the return of the sub.

So that's our timeframe.

Harry, you were right about another person being at the Nightingale meeting in Basel.

-Hans Lindemann. -And?

He came in on a private jet to a secret landing strip.

Shortly after returning from Basel,

Lindemann spent several days secluded in his Tuscan retreat.

-He had only one guest for the whole of that time. -And that was?

Andrew Lawrence, the Home Secretary.

That doesn't look good for Lawrence.

HARRY: We need to get surveillance into Lindemann's office right away.

You have to admit, if there was a war between India and Pakistan,

it might sort out a few issues.

I can't think why Nightingale haven't tried to recruit you?

It's been gnawing away at me, as well.

I bet it has. Let's see what Lindemann has to do with all this.

You going in, then?

Come on, then, Ros. Small talk me a little.

ROS: Okay, um...

My perfume is made from the anal glands of cats.

I read that in the paper this morning.

It's actually the perineal gland of the civet.

But not any more because they synthesise it.

How do you know that?

I'm a polymath.

-What the hell is a civet? -A civet is a kind of cross between a cat and a mongoose.

And, in Vietnam, they drink a coffee made from the half-digested beans

harvested from its faeces.

-Versatile little creature. -Mmm-hmm.

Okay, liking the frequency, Kenneth.

Okay, I'll do the meeting room and then we're good to go.

(GUN COCKING)

Hey, Lucas.

You look surprised to see me.

Yeah.

LUCAS: I am.

It's been a while.

Why have you come here?

To kill you.

(CHUCKLES)

Get out of town, Lucas, while you still have the chance.

You can't stop what's going to happen.

"Get out of town"? I didn't realise we're in Dodge City.

Contact me when you're safe.

Barbados, Bolivia. You choose. I'll meet you there.

What are you talking about?

Red zones where people die, green zones where they live.

Head for the green zone while you have the chance.

This is the last one you'll get.

You're not going anywhere.

Ros Myers...

The feeling's mutual.

Sarah!

Take the shot, Lucas!

-Why didn't you shoot her? -I wasn't sure I could just wing her

and she's no use to us dead.

-You still like her, Lucas? -Back off, Ros.

Our only real to link to Nightingale and you just let her get away.

No, I made sure we still had a chance of getting her alive.

"Barbados or Bolivia. You choose."

I said back off. I'll find her.

(LUCAS SIGHS)

Tariq, can you check out the most expensive hotels?

Any guests with the surnames of American Presidents.

She likes to use them as pseudonyms.

She's a silly little show-off. Patterns are always bad.

Jackson, Johnson, Adams... There are 44 US Presidents. That's a lot of guests.

Best get started, then.

Ros, I didn't shoot her because I couldn't guarantee I wouldn't kill her.

If I'd have done that, then we'd have nothing.

But I will find her and we will use her to defeat Nightingale.

Okay.

We need to get to the summit hotel and check out security.

-Delegates are arriving in three hours. -Yeah.

-I'd go for Barbados. -What?

Bolivia's run by commies in ponchos and it doesn't have a seaside.

You found him and you let him go.

I didn't let him go. We got disturbed.

You followed him to Lindemann's?

Which probably means they know about Lawrence's trip to Tuscany.

-Yes. -So, what'll they do about it?

Trust will break down

between the Home Secretary and Security Service Chief, I guess,

which is good for us.

Make sure you don't let Lucas off again

or it'll look like you don't want to kill him.

Yeah, I wanted to talk to you about the Home Secretary.

-I think we should exercise caution. -Hmm...

-So do I. -I suspect I mean it rather differently.

Go on.

Andrew Lawrence having friendly relations with a Basel conspirator

is not proof, Harry.

Odd timing, though.

Two day break together in Tuscany just as Nightingale force out his predecessor.

That's called the availability error, in psychology.

Most common cause of irrational thought.

Nobody else has raised a doubt.

They may be reluctant to challenge their leader's obvious conviction,

which is exactly how miscarriages of justice take place.

No such reluctance with you, eh, Ruth?

I'm not saying he isn't bad.

I'm just saying we should remain open to the possibility that he isn't.

I'll check how we're doing at the hotel.

Both Pakistani and Indian representatives are about to sit down to talks

amidst heightened security

in a bid to alleviate the growing submarine crisis.

(SIRENS WAILING)

Helipad secure.

We're just gonna go back and make sure they can't drive a truck in the lobby.

Lucas North!

Glad you're on point, Lucas. Let's work together, huh, make this a smooth ride.

-Ros Myers. -Hey.

The Delegations are arriving,

security is clear at the summit hotel, so we're all good to go.

The Americans are taking care of matters with regards to their Secretary of State.

-He's staying at Chequers with the PM, right? -Yep.

If things stall, both he and the PM can come in at a moment's notice. Ros...

-I want you to go and see the Home Secretary. -Alone?

I want to be absolutely sure that our evaluation of him is not informed by my prejudices.

Everything we do is informed by those.

What's the strategy?

We could push him away from the talks but then we won't know what he's doing.

-Do we pull him in? -Make him one of us. Almost.

But give him false information that won't help Nightingale if they get it,

-but will alert us that he's a traitor. -Risky.

If he is innocent and he finds out

it could damage your relationship with him permanently.

These talks represent our last chance to end this crisis peacefully.

That's more important than my relationship with any politician.

You want me to give this to Mudasser? And what is the purpose of it?

To establish new channels of communication between us and Pakistan.

We believe that President Mudasser

is the voice of reason within the Pakistani camp

and that we can separate him from General Ali.

It's a code structure that they can use.

I thought Harry was rather discounting my relationship with Mudasser.

Not at all. As this shows.

He doesn't like me, though, does he?

I don't think "like" really comes into it, Home Secretary.

-It's funny. He reminds me of my father. -Really?

The more I looked for his approval, the more he seemed to withhold it.

Maybe you should stop looking for approval?

Uh... It's a character flaw common to many politicians.

Luckily, it works better on the electorate than either my dad or Harry Pearce.

Anyway, I, uh...

-I always wanted to be a spy. -I'll leave you with it, then.

Thanks, Ros.

RUTH: So, Lawrence should hand the code to Mudasser.

If somebody else looks at the device, we'll know who it is.

-What did Tariq actually put on it? -Gibberish.

If he hands it to Nightingale, they'll waste a lot of time

looking for code that isn't there.

-What did you make of him? -He's a politician. It's hard to say.

-Think he's a traitor? -ROS: I don't know.

But maybe it's enough

-that Nightingale think we think he might be. -Exactly.

Ruth, that spread bet on the Japanese football you asked me to place?

-Ten corners for Gamba Osaka before half-time. -Yes.

-What does it mean? -It's a request to an asset for information.

Did you go into the account I gave you and check the bets?

Four penalties in the second half for Kashima Antlers.

-(SIGHS) Wow. -What does it mean?

Three penalties means he wants to talk, so something's definitely got him excited.

RUTH: I've a possible breakthrough on China.

GCHQ have intercepted signals which suggest conflict within the Communist Party

between pragmatists and hardliners over India and the submarine issue.

So you put out feelers to our pragmatist asset?

-And he appears keen to talk. -I want you to meet the asset.

See what you can find out about China's role in all this.

TARIQ: Lima One in position. LUCAS: Copy that.

ROS: Lima Two in position. Echo One approaching.

LUCAS: Okay, Lima Team, stand by.

There is going to be war.

-The talks? -Will solve nothing.

Because Pakistan's President is weak and does not make the decisions now.

If it goes nuclear, it will be a catastrophe for the region and for the world.

Pakistan virtually disappears, India is weakened.

As with all wars, there will also be winners.

The world will survive. It will just be different.

LUCAS: It sounds like he thinks

the outcome of this battle has already been decided.

You need to press him on specifics.

Get him onto Nightingale.

How much CIA involvement is there?

They are split. Same as in my country.

Who's running things for them?

It's not about one person. It's much bigger than that.

Nothing will be the same again.

Out of the destruction will come a completely different set of rules

for world government.

What I really wanted to really warn you about is closer to home.

We know there will be an incident...

(GASPS)

Shit! Lima Team?

-Are you okay? -I'm fine, I'm fine.

Let's find out who the assassin is.

The hit man was not MSS. Obviously a sleeper.

No immigration status, practically a cockle picker.

Heng said there's a big divide in China over this.

So it must have been somebody from the hardline faction.

He also wanted to tell us about something close to home. An incident.

A trigger that will start the war.

Has to be connected to the talks.

We need to find Sarah Caulfield.

Tariq's still searching.

Have you tried the social networking sites?

LUCAS: Yeah, but she's not taking the bait.

She told me she wanted me to contact her once I was out of the country.

She must know it's a set-up.

Well, even with the attraction of meeting you, she's not gullible, is she?

HARRY: Tariq has to keep looking.

In the meantime, speak to Russell Price about Caulfield's whereabouts.

I suspect the plan is to attack the peace talks and Sarah must be involved.

If I'm correct, they must be looking for her, too.

Anshi Desai, Indian political analyst.

-Her room is good? -Just where you wanted it.

-She won't be immediately missed. -Nice work.

(REPORTERS SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY)

(KNOCK ON DOOR)

Sorry to disturb, Miss Desai. We're from the CIA. Just a routine security sweep.

Is this any good?

Get her out of here.

Wire this up, Mikey. I'll go downstairs and keep the Brits happy.

Sarah Caulfield? Yeah, we'd like to talk to her.

-About Samuel Walker's murder? -Several things.

-Including the Nightingale conspiracy? -Never heard of it.

Come on. Don't mess about. If we have, you have.

Well...

She's gone, like the winter snow.

I did hear she was in Latin America working for Hugo Chavez.

Please! That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.

You were the one boffing her, Lucas.

Late night at Claridges, according to my reports.

You don't know where she might be, do you?

We wouldn't be asking you if he did, would we?

(SIGHS)

We respected Walker. Now a Chinese diplomat has also been killed in our territory.

-And you think Sarah had something to do with that? -We'd like to talk to her.

It's not a territorial thing. We know she's your property.

We'd just really appreciate the co-operation.

Obviously, we want to find Caulfield and what we can share with you, we will.

But right now I'm more concerned about our Secretary of State,

who wheels down in a few hours, so if you'll excuse me.

Can't say I blame you, buddy. I have to admit that I didn't say no myself.

McKinleys, Van Burens, Clevelands, Trumans. It's never-ending.

Okay.

Janie Harding. Let's have a closer look at your eyes. Window to the soul.

Lucas, I've got her.

-Which hotel? -The London Regent.

Okay. Scan the CCTV.

We need a team in place immediately.

Track her. As soon as she moves, I'll intercept.

LUCAS: Alpha Team, I'm in position. HARRY: Copy that, Alpha One.

LUCAS: Contact approaching.

SARAH: Lucas North.

-I didn't expect to see you so soon. -LUCAS: Skip it.

We were never much good at small talk.

We had better things to do.

You say that to all the boys?

How did we end up here, Sarah?

Why are you with these people? What happened to you?

Why don't you come back with me to my hotel room. We can talk about it there.

-(GUNSHOT) -(SARAH GROANS)

That's not an option, I'm afraid.

-She shot me! You crazy bitch! -Don't be such a cry-baby, it's only a graze from a .22.

Get Miss Reagan, or whatever she's calling herself today, to a clinic,

so we can keep an eye on her. Or would you prefer to see Russell Price?

MALE NEWSCASTER: There is rising tension in both India and Pakistan

as the deadline for the return of the submarine approaches.

As both parties prepare to meet for a peace summit in London...

-Where's that? -Lahore.

I've got family there. My cousin.

-He's on Facebook, supports Liverpool. -(CHUCKLES) Small world.

He sent me a message. All it said was, "I'm scared."

This is Lahore if one bomb the size of Hiroshima lands on it.

India and Pakistan have been to the brink before and pulled back.

I'm sure these talks will sort it out. You can't lose hope.

(MALE NEWSCASTER SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY)

You brought my grapes?

Talk to me.

-They made you my interrogator? -Would you rather have Ros?

-What happened to you, Sarah? -Didn't you see?

Some psycho who hasn't got laid in the last five years shot me in the leg.

I'll tell her you said that.

Yeah, don't worry, when I shoot her, it won't be the leg.

Why is Nightingale provoking war between India and Pakistan?

I don't speak for anybody but myself.

All right. Well, then why are you doing it?

Because I've seen what happens when the Taliban take control of a state.

-I was in Kabul, remember? -And you think a war will solve that?

-Nuke the Swat valley? -It's only a matter of time before they take Pakistan.

And there won't be any peace talks

if or when the Taliban get their hands on nuclear weapons.

This confrontation will also go nuclear. You know that.

No, we can control it. Goodbye Al-Qaeda high command, goodbye Taliban.

-And India? -Down, but not out.

It suits China, who hold most of our debt. Only connect, Lucas.

Yeah, wars are bad, but their like forest fires, seeds grow from the ashes.

Oh, come on. Stay a while. Who knows? I might start talking in my sleep.

Come on. You know you want to.

You're a liar.

A murderer.

A self-serving traitor.

Not just to your own country, but to humanity in general.

You disgust me.

-Home Secretary. -Ah.

-And Harry? -Sent his apologies.

Well, tell him he's fired and you're his replacement.

You think I'm joking.

I think it's time to stand up to the grumpy old men.

Let's catapult you through the glass ceiling.

No, I'm happy where I am, thank you. I'm not really a desk person.

Oh, well, don't knock what you haven't tried.

So thank you very much for coming.

I spoke with President Mudasser this morning on the phone.

-And? -He's concerned that while he's here

the military back home will use the opportunity

to ramp up the tension surrounding the submarine.

-In what way? -He doesn't know,

but he fears something will anger the Indians

and force the peace talks to break down.

I thought I should pass that on to you in my...

-In my role as... -Backchannel.

Backchannel?

I was hoping for something a little sexier, but I guess that'll do for now. (LAUGHS)

I'll try and think of an alternative.

The Indian and Pakistani representatives are inside the hotel

and talks are believed to be underway.

We have information from a Government source that the British Home Secretary

will be meeting with President Mudasser later on today

to discuss the seriousness of the situation...

So... Let's go over this one more time.

What are you doing here? Who else is involved?

I was tasked to kill you. And you betrayed me.

How do I know you weren't going to?

I wasn't.

-Why not? -Why do you think?

Sometimes it's just like that. You fall in love with somebody.

(SCOFFS)

Believe me. You can't stop what's going to happen.

Who tasked you to kill me?

Harry Pearce.

-You've got a Nightingale mole in your midst. -Don't test me!

We're on the brink of a global catastrophe!

We're on the brink of something terrible, I agree. But it's necessary.

What? For the off-shore bank accounts of a rump of traitors

while millions burn in the slums, none the wiser?

-Oh, I guess that's why they're still in the slums. -Spoken like a true elitist.

You see, you scratch the surface of an Ivy League liberal...

I am an elitist, Lucas.

I prefer beautiful and clever people.

It's why I fell for you, after all.

-It's not too late to stop this. -You don't listen, do you?

It is far, far too late.

You think this emergency summit is gonna help matters?

Here's a scary thought for you, Lucas.

Try this one for size. What if we're really the ones running that show?

Let's get out of here. You and me.

-You're insane. -Get me out of here. Take me away.

(PHONE BEEPS)

(DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES)

-ROS: Have you got anywhere with her yet? -She's talking.

Mainly generalities.

Well, we don't have time for generalities. I'm nearly there.

What, you really think she's going to talk to you?

Well, my methods might be slightly more persuasive.

Ros, I've told you before, back off.

I'm nearly there, Lucas. Come on. You hold her hand, I'll pull her hair.

I just saw the Home Secretary.

-Really? What was he saying? -He was actually quite relaxed without Harry there.

-Found him strangely... -Ros, the bodyguard's gone! Hurry!

LUCAS: Get out of the way!

(CLATTERING)

Why did you kill her?

Why did you kill her?

Lucas!

We need him alive.

You better start talking. Give me a reason not to kill you!

Tariq, this mobile belongs to the hitman.

He doesn't know who gave the order, but he has to phone in a kill confirmation.

-Can you trace the number? -Give me a few minutes.

-How's Lucas? -Distraught. Coping.

Sarah said something to him about Nightingale running the talks.

-What does that mean? -We don't know.

What else did she say?

The usual. Dishonest metaphors these people use to hide the reality of mass slaughter.

-Preventative surgery? -Forest fires.

Ah, yes.

Sounds as if Nightingale has bought into the concept of of controlled holocaust.

We must save the talks.

Do you still sing? In your choir?

Uh, yes. We're doing Beethoven's Ninth. Ode To Joy.

-"Alle Menschen..." -BOTH: "...werden Bruder."

-"All men will be brothers." -"Under gentle wings."

-(SNIFFLING) -Harry?

Harry, all men are brothers.

That's why we shed tears for people we don't know.

It's just the wind, Ruth.

Yes, of course.

ROS: Where are we on the phone trace?

TARIQ: Close now, but the original signal's been diverted countless times.

A hotel in east London.

The summit hotel.

We're running a trace on every single mobile in the hotel

to find out who ordered the hit.

-Russell Price. -Head of CIA European Operations.

Working for Nightingale.

Well, at least we know what we're dealing with now.

That was the last thing Sarah said to me.

"What if we're the ones really running the show?"

Russell Price is Sarah's Nightingale handler. Or was.

-They killed her when they found out we had her. -How did they know?

We listen to them, they listen to us.

If that's true, it means Nightingale have control of

American security at the summit.

So, do we stop the talks? Move them?

The Indian sub commander's just been paraded on Pakistani television

and admitted to spying.

-Blatant provocation. -The Home Secretary said this would happen.

General Ali's outside of Pakistan and now getting the upper hand.

Any sign that that fake code we gave the Home Secretary has been accessed?

Nothing. The Indians have suspended the first session of the talks

and returned to their embassy to consider their options.

They're holding the Pakistani President personally responsible

and they're threatening to retaliate unless the sub's returned immediately.

-HARRY: Who is this? -Anshi Desai. Indian political analyst.

She's the only member of the Indian delegation who didn't leave the hotel.

HARRY: We need to find out why she didn't leave. Ros.

Get down there. Nightingale's starting to pull strings but play it softly.

We have to parade the Pakistani President in front of the media

to announce the release of the Indian submarine.

These talks are the last chance we have to bring this to a peaceful solution.

Right now peace is slipping away from us in either direction.

Only a year ago, everybody was talking about disarmament.

The big superpowers were reducing their nuclear stockpiles.

If these talks between India and Pakistan have broken down, as it would appear,

then we stand on the brink of a conflict whose consequences are terrifying to contemplate.

ROS: The Home Secretary's upstairs meeting Mudasser in an effort to restart talks.

I think that's also a sham. I think they're going to attack.

We know Russell Price is with Nightingale so this whole place could be compromised.

We need to get all the important players out.

You think there might be an assassination? On who then?

Let's find our remaining Indian delegate.

-Ros... -Yeah?

The clock on the laptop. It's counting down.

-It's a detonator. -How long have we got?

Thirty minutes.

Lucas, this has been tampered with.

Okay.

(BEEPING)

Jesus Christ!

(CHUCKLES)

So... President, huh? Who'd have thought?

You, the Home Secretary, is more improbable, given your recreational habits.

I didn't inhale, honest.

(BEEPING)

Harry, bomb disposal unit are saying it's too late to defuse the bomb.

We're going to go for an evacuation. This is a set-up.

The Indians are provoked into storming out of the talks

while a bomb is left in one of their rooms.

We have to get the Pakistani President and the Home Secretary

onto a helicopter and out of here.

This attack is Nightingale's excuse to kick this whole thing off.

So, they put the submarine commander on television.

Yes, I saw. As you feared. Your military do seem to have a mind of their own right now.

I want peace. I came here for peace, Andrew. Believe me.

General Ali is just sitting somewhere, outside Pakistan,

with his finger on the nuclear trigger.

Gold Control, this is Alpha One.

We need the Home Secretary and the Pakistani President

safely onto a helicopter straight away.

All right, look. Price has agents all over the hotel.

We have to make sure that the exit route is clear.

My security services have asked to give you this as well as the book.

That contains a code structure for communications between us.

Home Secretary? I'm from the British Security Team.

We have a situation in the hotel.

Could you accompany me to the roof, please, where the helicopter is waiting?

AGENT: Both assets secure and proceeding to roof area, Alpha Leader.

-Ros, the helicopter's been sabotaged. It can't take off. -We'll get another one.

It's blocking the roof. Nothing can't land.

Take both assets to Conference Room One.

We'll meet you there and proceed to the lobby.

-We've got to get them out through the lobby. -Yeah, they're gonna try.

But if Price and his people are still in there, that's very dangerous.

So is a massive bomb that's about to bring the roof down.

-Where are Ros and Lucas? -Still in there.

But we're about to cut comms and mobile contact

so that Nightingale can't remote detonate.

Mobiles are down. They suspect something. They heading out, Mikey?

-Affirmative. -Okay, let's meet and intercept.

(ELEVATOR DINGS AND OPENS)

-Russell Price, CIA. -We're going to take them out through the lobby.

Lobby's blocked because of the security alert.

We need to head to the north stairwell, now.

-These men are under my protection. -Can we just have a word, sir?

RUSSELL: Okay, gentlemen, British Security have approved my plan.

-Now, we're going to take you somewhere secure. -What's going on?

There's a security situation in the hotel, sir.

My orders are to personally ensure you are escorted to safety.

No, I need to see Sir Harry Pearce now.

Let me get you to safety first, sir.

They sent the Home Secretary in there, Ruth, to talk to Mudasser.

-If he's innocent... -They'll get him out.

They're not in the conference room.

We've lost contact with the evacuation team. Where the hell are they?

Maybe they went straight to the lobby.

He's one of ours. Price must have taken them.

-How long have we got? -Ten minutes.

We have to find them. If the Pakistani President dies, it's war.

ANDREW: You listen to me. I'm the British Home Secretary

and I insist that you let me speak to Harry Pearce right now.

Well, I'm afraid the mobile systems are down due to the security situation.

What is this "situation" that you keep talking about?

I can't address that right now.

My men are securing the lobby and we'll leave you guys here

until we're sure we don't have another Mumbai in our hands.

You're not listening to me. I'm not staying here. Either you let me speak to...

Let's go.

REPORTER: It's already been a day of surprises at the open day of the peace talks.

The Indian delegation has suspended the first session

to consider the implications of their submarine commander being paraded on television.

And there is a lot of activity in the lobby of the hotel

with rumours of some kind of incident inside.

Meanwhile, behind me, people continue to be ushered from the hotel

and the police and security services are beginning to cordon off the area.

We have no word on the precise whereabouts

of the Pakistani President or the British Home Secretary,

who are both believed to be in the building.

Any fears as to their safety have been denied by a security spokesmen.

Tariq!

-I'm going down there now. -No, no. To do what?

Speak to whoever is pretending to be in charge.

Harry, there's not enough time! You won't be able to achieve anything.

-Get me the Met Commander on the ground. -I've just spoken to him.

It's chaos down there. Nobody seems to know who's in charge.

The Americans are talking about a security incident and they're clearing the lobby.

The British Home Secretary and the Pakistani President are still inside that building

and we can't actually move in and get them out?

TARIQ: I still can't get hold of Lucas or Ros.

-Get me a car, now. -Harry!

They'll be somewhere near the blast zone. My guess is underneath it.

Yeah. Otherwise they'd just have killed them both.

They need this to look completely authentic.

Sixth floor would be my bet. We've got to start somewhere.

Okay, you guys go now. Mikey, you stay with me until we're sure the Brits have bailed.

Guys, you need to clear this floor. There's been shooting.

-Come with us. -Okay, you get out of my way now.

-There's a bomb in here. -Yeah, shall we go and take a look at it?

Ruth, you'll have to get me the Prime Minister.

He needs to speak to the American President urgently.

Only they and the Chinese can halt this now.

He's at Chequers. I'll raise him and patch you through.

(BEEPING)

You're familiar with this room, of course.

You crazy bitch!

Tell us where the Pakistani President and the Home Secretary are.

Give us the room number and you just walk away from here.

Lucas, keep checking the other rooms. I'll make sure Mr Price stays here.

Let me know when he comes to his senses. I'll start with the floor below.

At least one of us will make sure General Ali doesn't give the order that you want.

Even if I tell you, you'll leave me here, so where's my incentive?

I keep my word.

You tell us where he is, we leave here together.

What's that expression you Americans have?

Do the math.

Even a 10% chance that I keep my word is better than nothing at all.

You're assuming self-interest is my driving motive.

You assuming you're no use to us alive.

I don't make decisions based on emotion, Mr Price, or a childish desire for payback.

You tell me where they are we leave together

and I give you back to your Government to decide what to do with you.

Ros, I need a location.

There's hundreds of rooms in this hotel. You have to get something fast.

Funny.

We've only known each other a couple of days and now we're going to die together.

(SCOFFS)

You've got some balls on you, I give you that.

No.

Just not frightened of dying.

Can't say the same for you, though.

There will be a nuclear conflict sometime soon.

How long before North Korea or Iran or the Taliban

get their hands on nukes they can use?

I don't know the answer to that question. It frightens me as well.

This is the lesser of two evils.

-We can control it. -No. You couldn't even control Iraq.

We're going to die here.

You give me the room number and we leave together.

LUCAS: Ros? We're running out of time.

If Price won't talk, you have to bail.

Same applies to you, Lucas. Give it a couple of minutes,

and then leave, I'll follow you.

We both know that's not true, though, don't we?

My only regret about dying is not being around to know what it's like.

A couple of minutes.

This is your only chance. Like I say... Do the math.

Get me the Gold Commander.

We should restore the mobile network.

Remember what you said, about hope.

Don't give up hope.

Okay, I'm going to go now, help my colleague find my Home Secretary.

Even if it is completely useless,

I really don't want your face to be the last thing I see.

All right. They're on the fifth floor.

Room 507. Just let me go.

Don't leave me here! Don't leave me here!

ROS: Lucas, Room 507! Meet me there!

LUCAS: Oh, Jesus... ROS: What's gone on?

They paralysed us with a nerve agent. I can't move.

What's going on?

LUCAS: A group called Nightingale is trying to manipulate a nuclear war

by killing you and blaming the Indians. There's a bomb right above us.

-Lucas, get him out. -I'm not leaving without you.

I'm not leaving without him. So, get him out of here, okay?

-Ros... -No debate, Lucas.

Millions will die unless you parade him in front of the media

and let Nightingale know that they've failed.

You're stronger than I am. Get him out.

Go.

(GROANS)

Okay.

Right, you and I are going to take things much slower, okay?

But I promise you I will get you out of here.

Okay, okay...

Ros? Lucas? Speak to us.

(ROS GRUNTS LOUDLY)

(PANTING)

Ros, you should go. There's no point in us both dying.

Not really part of the job description.

Come on...

(STRAINING)

Come on!

(SCREAMING) Come on!

Come on!

-(PHONE RINGS) -Harry, what's going on?

Utter Chaos. Can't find the Gold Commander.

Americans everywhere shouting they've got a security situation.

No idea who's friend and who's foe.

-Yeah, any sign of Ros and Lucas? -No.

Harry, I need a medic!

Medic!

Ros... I gave... The President the code device,

like you asked.

You know, we had our doubts about you.

(LAUGHING) I'll try not to hold it against you.

You did really well. Harry will love you for it.

Ugh, Harry's sacked. I thought you were my new Security Chief now.

Can I get in, please?

We have to get him in front of the cameras.

I'm going back for Ros.

Come on!

Get a news crew.

(BEEPING)

If the missiles fly, millions of human beings will die.

To that end, I have ordered the immediate release of the Indian submarine

from Pakistani waters.

Right, you see that light?

Well, that is what we are aiming for.

That's our way out of here, okay? Just keep...

Keep moving towards the light, okay?

ANDREW: Ros...

-How long have we got? -Not long.
