But that you... You know, you need

experience to see what

these pigs do to your people.

Hmm?

I think he was right.

Afghanistan.

You'll go there, with a new identity,

to our friends.

Be taught useful things,

then you'll come back.

And if you don't return...

then your prize will be more than

anything any one of us could wish for.

Paradise.

It's what you wanted, yes?

(Woman on radio) n unidentified,

deceased male was found

horrifically burnt in an abandoned

warehouse in East London.

The body was so disfigured

no details of him are available.

The location was

a known drugs factory

and haunt of local gangs and dealers.

- Police are treating...

- (Turns radio off)

There's nothing we could have done.

We were doing our job.

Our job is to do what's right.

What did she mean?

She said something about you.

What was she talking about?

My wife was killed in the bombings

a few years back.

I'm sorry.

She'd have been 34 this year.

She had nothing to do with all...

With all this, you know?

Some days...

Yeah, some days, I...

That thing still in there?

What?

(Squeaking)

How do you turn it off?

You turn it that way. No.

That way.

The other way.

- The other way. Yeah.

- (Squeaking stops)

(Sirens wailing)

You OK?

Fine.

I remember this.

It's embarrassing.

Look, I'm sorry about what happened.

About the way I acted back then.

If I could change it, I would.

Is everything all right with you, Kate?

- With your life?

- It's fine.

It's not as easy as it used to be,

but don't have to talk about that now.

We just... We slipped away.

I have never stopped

thinking about you, Kate.

You have to know that.

(Mobile phone ringing)

Look, if you have things to do,

we could just meet this afternoon.

I know this pub.

I'd like to.

- (Mobile phone ringing)

- (Ash sighs)

Where have you been?

Paul was meant to go ahead last night.

He's vanished.

- Were you followed?

- No.

- Are you sure?

- Yeah.

We have to change our plans.

You have to make contact

with the third man and help him.

- You stay with him. I'll be in touch.

- When is he due to go ahead?

Tomorrow.

What's the matter with you?

It isn't time to be weak and emotional.

We have no time for emotions now.

Especially when your brothers

and sisters are suffering.

(Doorbell ringing)

You know who I am, yeah?

- Yeah.

- Is there anything else?

- Any papers? Receipts?

- No.

OK, use this.

I'm going to go first.

You wait here for a few minutes

and then follow me, OK?

You stay calm.

Have a look round, Mark.

Check round the corner.

Have a look up there.

(Mark) It's him!

F***!

- We got him.

- (Charlotte) I heard.

There was someone there watching.

- Who?

- I don't know.

Somebody across the road.

He got away on a bike.

He's connected.

Get the CNN footage.

Should be a clear shot of him.

There are mo rooms

at the Glassmore Hotel

booked in the name

of Michael and John Smith.

Check in.

I'll be there when I have something.

One more thing. There is a team

on us, our people. Watch yourselves.

Our people? Why?

What we are doing is not

standard. Make sure that...

(Disconnected tone)

Where the f***'s she gone?

Hey.

You look tired.

I'm fine.

It was a nightmare getting

here with all the madness.

What?

There was a bomb scare

on the train coming here.

Scared shitless.

Bunch of murdering maniacs.

Hope they kill the lot of them.

You know when I said I didn't think

about those days at uni any more?

- Yeah.

- I was lying.

I know.

You know, I thought I saw you

once a few years ago.

I just lost you in the crowd.

Well, I'm not going anywhere.

Especially since it's your round.

Can I get a red wine

and orange juice, please?

No problem at all.

There you go. That's f5 exactly.

Thank you.

(Mellow rock music playing)

(Laughs)

(Door opens)

Good, good. You take it to the car.

Here, you, take...

Take the cake. I will be five minutes.

My son, it's his birthday.

They were there. They knew.

You shouldn't be here.

Your target is an American neo-con.

Head of a think-tank, instrumental

in planning the war on terror.

His daughter is getting married

to an Englishman.

Where?

I'll know tomorrow.

You still have your phone, huh?

God be with you, my friend.

Will I see my family?

What?

Oh, you'll see everyone

who's important in your life.

Everyone who has passed away,

and... And... And it will seem like

only half a day has passed

since you last saw them.

Huh?

(Kicks metal can)

You OK?

I'm good.

You did well.

Stay alert.

- (Mobile phone ringing)

- Yeah.

Yeah, I know the place.

(Sighs)

(Turns camera on)

for those of you looking for reasons,

then I suggest you pay

attention to what I have to say.

for far too long, you've ignored

what is happening around you.

You've not seen the inevitable

that is coming at you.

The inevitability of my actions.

(Beeping)

(Groans)

(Screams)

Who are you, hey?

Who are you working for?

- Talk to me. Who sent you?

- (Screaming)

(Ash) You've never opened

your mouths in protest

at my people's suering.

Answer me!

- Your silence has been deafening.

- Who sent you? Talk!

Words have had no impact on you.

Politics has had no impact on you.

Look at Afghanistan, Iraq, Palestine.

The list goes on and on.

And you continue to ignore it.

You seem confused at our actions.

Lost in your decadent world.

Unable to act.

Unable to move.

froen in time.

So now I'm going to communicate to

you in a language you can understand.

My words are dead

until I give them life with

your blood and mine.

(Static over earpiece)

I'm sure by now your

newspapers and television

have depicted me as a madman,

an evil outsider

hell-bent on destruction.

Your corrupt and degenerate media

will spin my actions to suit

the government agenda.

They want you misinformed,

scared and docile,

so that you continue to ignore

their murderous actions.

They are happy for you

to lose yourself and all that this world

has to oer so that you stay unaware

and intoxicated

with their mindless chatter.

So that you do not question

the situation you find yourselves in.

Trapped in a vicious circle

of your own doing.

My life has been a journey

towards violence,

but it's not one I regret.

There is no guilt for me.

There is no thoughts of the past

or what I did or didn't do.

My search is over.

My hands have been guided by

a force that's greater

than anything on this world.

I've found my peace.

You must understand that things

do not happen without reason.

There are no coincidences.

(Radio beeping, crackling)

Come in, come in.

(Ash) So listen carefully

to what I have to say.

Where are you?

Give us your location, where are you?

Everything is in position.

He has entered and heading towards

the kitchen area.

CCTV has been immobilized.

(Ash) The material world that you

worship is meaningless and empty.

It means nothing to me.

I leave it behind gladly.

- I have sacrificed myself...

- (Door slams)
