Shots fired

in the embassy. Get set.

Salim?

Salim?

Yes?

Was that one of the hostages?

You have 30 minutes to

meet all of our demands

or we will kill more.

You can collect the body.

You ready?

yep.

I'm thinking that we should

call the negotiators,

get him to keep the leader,

Salim, on the phone

We should steal as much time

for these boys as we can.

Aye, I'll tell the boss.

And rusty?

hmm?

Check behind the doors, mate.

The prime minister

has authorised

the military takeover.

Do we think this man was

killed accidentally?

No, we do not.

Colonel?

I would like the record to

show you signed over control

to the regiment.

Maggie's government's

hanging by their tits,

and it's Lance corporal

rusty firmin

who's got a hold of them.

Just don't shoot the

f***ing hostages, John.

Are we on?

yeah.

I need a drink.

The prime minster asks

that there be no smokescreen

to cover or block the assault

from the television cameras.

Colonel rose?

She wants the world and

the British people

to see how this government

deals with terrorism.

All stations.

This is sunray.

I have control. I say again,

I have control.

Max.

I had a call from whitehall.

you gave the sas time to plan.

They're very grateful.

This is a request

from their colonel.

Keep Salim talking

during the assault.

If they haven't got their

leader, it might help.

What are you saying, sir?

you want me to help kill them?

Oh, no.

I want you to

save the hostages.

What am I supposed

to offer them?

The world now, for all we care.

I've got a nice shot of heads.

Let's move.

What is it?

Salim, it's Max Vernon.

What is it, mr Max?

Do you have anything for me

or do we have to kill another

and another?

I've been authorised to

discuss buses with you

and get you to Heathrow airport.

The government has

accepted your terms.

The ambassadors

are on their way.

We are arranging buses now.

You are lying.

No more lies.

No more lies.

I'm not lying to you, Salim.

One bus. Enough for all of us.

One bus. All right.

How is it?

It's a lot better,

I'll tell you that much.

Look at this as an overview.

that's great.

Distraction charge is in.

It must have curtains.

Good. Yes. We can do that.

And I want you

to drive, mr Max.

Mr Max.

Here. Here, mr Max.

Here. Here.

Hello?

Advance to wait.

I say again -- all

teams advance to wait.

PC Trevor lock, sir.

Trevor, put Salim back

on immediately, please.

Sir, we're all very

concerned in here, sir.

Please assure me there is not

an assault about to happen.

Argh!

Sh*t.

Oh sh*t.

Bravo one, rear team

in position.

Trevor, I can assure you 100%

we are not about to attack.

We are genuinely arranging

for their demands to be met.

Frame charge going in.

Just can't believe

after all this,

the promises you're making.

Trevor, listen carefully to me.

I have my instructions

from the government.

Those instructions are

to keep the hostages alive.

Do you understand?

Yes, sir.

good.

Now put Salim back on, please.

Put him down, boys. We're

gonna let off the charge.

Yes, mr Max?

Salim, we need to know

where you want to fly to.

I can make arrangements

immediately for the jet.

It needs to be of a certain

size, a certain fuel capacity.

I heard something suspicious.

There's nothing suspicious.

There is a-- a

suspicious sound.

There's nothing, Salim.

Talk to me.

No, wait! I will come back.

Salim, wait.

Go! Go! Go!

Keep filming.

where the hell are you going?

Bravo one, where

is the frame charge

on the ground floor?

If we blow it, we're

gonna f***ing kill him!

Are we live, bill?

Cutting in... now!

At the iranian embassy

at princes gate,

an explosion has sounded

from the rear of the building

as police and press nearby

are being told to take cover.

Now two black-clad men can

be seen on the balcony.

They are placing an

object of some kind

in front of the embassy window

and climbing back over

the balcony to their side.

A second explosion

has ripped through

the front of the embassy.

All right! Go on!

F***ing cut him down!

Bravo one,

where is the frame charge

on the ground floor?

We're changing the f***ing plan.

If we set off the

charge, it'll kill him.

What the hell is

going on? Rusty!

Forget it, boss.

He ain't talking to no one now.

Cut the rope!

Smash it in!

Flash bang!

I'm all right! I'm all right!

Get in there!

obscuring everything.

Hostage PC Trevor lock

appears at a window.

He's waving his police

hat as identification.

Police shout at him,

and he draws back inside.

Police dogs howl. A woman

relative of one of the hostages

can be heard screaming.

Helicopters can be heard...

Only one hostage killed.

It's a miracle.

After six days and

almost 11 hours exactly,

the siege at number 16

princes gate is over.

Did you see him come down

those f***ing stairs?

I f***ing did, man.

huh?

He was a cheeky bastard,

wasn't he?

For the inquiry.

Oh, wait. Wait, wait. One sec.

Hello?

Max?

Is that you, love?

Yeah.

Thank god!

I just saw it now.

are you hurt?

Max, please.

Will you say something?

I'm all right, love. I'm sorry.

Just didn't want you to worry.

You know, in case you heard

anything on the news.

I regret

that it proved necessary

to resort to the use of force.

But there was in the

end no alternative.

I entirely agree

with my honourable friend,

and if I might say one word,
