National day of mourning in the Philipines,

after 44 police commanders were killed,

in the line of duty when an anti-terror

operation went wrong.

-

PUNJAB PROVINCE:

50 miles north of Lahore, PAKISTAN

Philipine authorities now say the toll in yesterday's

hotel bombing has risen to 146 dead and 231 wounded

It is the most devastating terrorist attack in Asia,

in 10 years. And the worst ever, in Manila.

While no organization has taken

responsibility for the blast,

Western intelligence sources have identified

chemical traces that are the hallmark of

the infamous arms-dealer, Aarmir Barkawi

International security experts say that the Barkawi

family is now instigating violence in remote capitals

To foster instability, and thus fuel

massive arms sales around the globe.

- Kamran

- Raza

Did Philippine Intelligence track you?

Father,

- You did well,

- Thank you.

We need to discuss Major General Rahmad.

It's your sister's wedding.

I'm sorry, this can't wait.

I think your ISI officer was compromised.

Kamran, all Pakistani intelligence

officers are compromised.

One of our Afghani friends discovered

a German BND agent in his circle.

And?

That particular general won't be very

useful to us anymore. He's been eliminated.

Thought you might want to know.

Don't forget his family.

Vengeance must always be profound,

and absolute.

Very happy.

And what special requests did

the [ ?? ] circus demand so far?

Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders,

part of the [ ?? ] possibly?

That's a request I can get with [ ?? ]

I'm partial to the Kardashians, myself.

As apparently is Her Majesty.

19 special requests from

12 different countries.

We denied all of them.

Any issues or special concern

with our current assessment?

We all know about he 350 or

have traveled back and forth

Stansted Airport (London)

On the ground, it's all Mike.

Touch down. Then a 12-minute chopper

ride to Somerset House.

From there we take an armoured vehicle escort

down Sweet Street .. to the Cathedral

You don't seem thrilled.

The British have their hands full.

It's a cluster-f*** .. sir.

Well,

Forty different countries,

with 40 different security teams.

Minimal flexibility on approach routes.

I always do, sir.

Good.

I know it's not great timing for you, but ..

It's what I do.

Thank you sir.

Do you have any idea, the joy a man feels

pulling a 70-lb king macarel out of the

And I'll have to wait till next year to find out.

But, thanks for asking.

Don't worry about a thing, we'll be fine.
