and I'm going to ask for my money.

Otherwise she thinks I'm a threat.

And I'm going to get a plane from her

and I'm going to get you out of here alive.

And then we'll testify?

You think they're going to believe you,

Khalid's daughter?

There won't be a shred of evidence

linking Olivia to any of this.

But they'll trust you.

Listen, this is the real world

and people get f***ed over.

I'm going to tell you

something that I learned.

You can stand up for a principle

and you can die.

Or you can walk away and you can live.

- I want you to live.

- Don't f***ing touch me.

I'll have that plane tomorrow night.

When you can see some sense!

It was getting infected.

You could have died.

We can't let them get away with this.

What can we do?

Khalid gave us hope and leadership.

They're inspecting the

oil compound tonight.

We need to film it.

- You want them to stand trial?

- No, I want proof.

And then I want to kill them.

Oh, you won't be able to use that.

It's too dangerous, too noisy.

You just want to get in and get out.

But you can use this.

Do you think you have it in you

to slit a man's throat?

I am a warlord's daughter, aren't I?

How can you get us in?

My cousin can.

He drives the employees' luggage in every

week from the airport to the oil company.

It's an empty bus.

He can meet us there, on the way.

It's about 15 miles from

here at a checkpoint.

- Will it be safe for you?

- No.

The checkpoint.

Get down and stay down. I'll sort this.

He'll be here in 15 minutes.

Mr Helder, Mr Ibrahami.

I see you've both met.

All the last-minute glitches

have been ironed out,

so we are ready to proceed.

Because if there's any sign of trouble,

we don't want another

Niger Delta on our hands.

I assure you, the resistance

died with Khalid.

I'm sure it's nothing.

Simon!

I was worried about you.

Cut the crap, Olivia.

What?

You gave me no f***ing idea

what I was walking into.

And you didn't expect me

to walk out again, did you?

It's all right. I just want my money.

Of course you do.

You leave the talking to me.

Please don't worry. He's a professional.

He's discreet.

If he wasn't, he'd be dead by now.

You didn't tell me

there'd be a third share.

I'll pay him out of my share.

Abdul?

What the f*** is that?

I'm sure it's nothing.

You f***ing b*tch.

You're the reason my parents are dead!

No, okay? I told him not to hurt anyone.

He was just meant to kidnap you

so we could get to Khalid.

And rape this country.

This country was f***ed

before you were born.

People get killed here every day.

Terrorists are trained here.

The oil company would stop all that.

It's better for everyone.

You believe in your own bullshit.

Because if there's any sign of trouble,

we don't want another

Niger Delta on our hands.

O assure you, the resistance died with...

You'll never prove I was ever here.

Did you send that clip to anyone?

You're not just hurting me,

you are compromising

the whole of British Intelligence.

Scared your dad will see it?

You stupid little b*tch!

Okay, you are not going to

f*** this up for me.

You're legally dead already.

Who did you send that clip to?

Nothing!

Nothing. It's a false alarm.

Don't let her out of your sight.

A dog hit the fence.

Sometimes I think our security's too good.

Right. Business.

Before I go, I'd like to

see the pump working.

Oh, of course.

As you can see, Mr Helder, this is the

main housing for the pump station.

I hope you're satisfied.

It'll be at full capacity within a week.

Sir, there is no smoking in here.

Help! Help!

Help! Let me out!

- Oh, good.

- Simon?

Go get Olivia. Go!

Stop the f***ing plane!

Get up!

You can go see your sister now.

Will you be okay?

Yeah, I'm a hardarse. You know that.

I'll be out in a couple of days.

That's not what I mean.

It's over.

Go get your life back.

Hello. Mina, is that you?

- Yeah.

- You're going to love it here.
