- Just hand him over.

- That's not going to happen.

Then every death from this moment

forward, will be on your head.

Barkawi, sells arms to dummy companies.

Some of them probably in London.

Find a connection to him.

He's probably been planning this for

years. Everybody makes a mistake.

We have to find him before

he finds the President.

Let's get to it.

- Mike is a bully?

- Yeah.

Not exactly standard police issue.

Really?

Oh, my god.

- I've never seen a man suffocate before.

- I didn't have a knife.

Got more ammunition than

the entire US Army.

How can they pull something like this off.

Gots to be somebody on the inside.

Yeah, looks like it.

These aren't you typical hill-trained

hillbillies. These guys are pros.

- We should go for the Embassy.

- They'll be expecting that.

There's a MI-6 safehouse near here.

I have a contact there.

We go there, we get geared up, and get an extraction.

- Do you trust them? -- Yeah.

The fact is, every single one of these guys

is a terrorist a**hole. Until proven otherwise.

The only person you trust right now,

is me, okay?

Come on, let's go.

- Gotta get underground.

- These guys are everywhere.

Let's go.

Stay here. I'll be back.

Raza ..

Raza

Here ..

We can do easy, or the hard way.

Raza. Answer me, brother.

Raza's not feeling too well at the moment.

He's a little bit f***ed up.

Hey, you. What's this dick guy's name?

- This is Kamra. Who is this?

- Hey, Cameron. [sic]

- My name is Mike Banning.

- You are the one with the President.

Bingo. So why don't you boys pack up your sh*t and head

back to Fuckeninstan or wherever it is you're from.

You should've let us kill him quickly.

Because now, we're going to kill him slowly.

And stream it live. For the whole world to see.

Can you hear me, Mr. President?

- Tell him,

- Yeah, he can hear you.

And here's something I want you hear first.

That's the sound of your brother dying. Yeah.

Not much of a talker, that one.

But I bet one of your men will.

I'll see you soon, Cameron [sic]

- Was that really necessary?

- No.

The Brits are compromised.

The police for sure.

Who do you trust?

We can also assume all communications

are compromised.

Anything that isn't secured,

could get into the wrong hands, sir.

- And Banning would know that too.

- So how could he even reach out for help?

There, freeze that. Sir,

- Is Banning left-handed?

- No, right-handed.

Okay, well, the President doesn't move

without a drone or satellite over his head.

- Banning knows that.

- That's his left hand.

- Southpaw .. six.

- Shorthand for MI-6.

Look for any MI-6 location in that are.

- Yes, sir.

- Alright, Banning.

- You okay?

- Yeah.

- [ ?? ] , bad choice.

- Hah,

Sit down, take deep breaths.

How many you think died?

I don't know .. A lot.

All those innocent people.

Dead ... Because of me.

No. Not because of you. Because of them.

They tried to kill you, sir.

And they killed all these people, just

to make everyone else more afraid.

Well, f*** that.

F*** them.

Mike ..

You don't let them take me.

- I'm not going to.

- You need to do it.

If it comes to it. If it's going south.

If it comes to it, I want you to kill me.

That' an order.

I will not be prosecuted for propaganda.

As my son and the American people see me on

fucken YouTube for the rest of their lives.

.. Okay.

- Vice President Trumbull is among us, sir.

- Inspector.

I'm afraid our .. news isn't promising.

Our dearly departed Prime Minister

James Wilson was assassinated.

Poison in his anesthesia, and his doctor's

body found dumped about an hour ago.

State funeral ..

Must-attend event for western leaders.

Each one a target.

Goddamn.

And we walked right into it.

And all dead. By your men and ours.

What's happening on the ground?

The terrorists have killed 19 first-

responders. We've another 30 unaccounted for.

They're impersonating us. Our people

are walking right into ambushes.

Say the word and we go in.

But make no mistake. We risk turning

London into another Fallujah.

That's the last thing we need.

The President in the middle of an urban battle.

Or the citizens of London.

Or you're just as likely to take out

half the Metropolitan Police Force,

Unless you can tell me how you can tell the

difference between the good guys and the bad guys.

- We're have to stand down our Emergency Services.

- Surrender London?

He's right.

Take out all legitimate personnel.

Anyone that remains .. is a terrorist.

Look, the sooner we end this,

The more chance there is of stopping

London becoming a complete warzone.

Well, how do we get the

word out to our people?

[??] system.

We [??] sound that, people know to

stay secure in their place, then ...

You have the military sweep in.

door-to-door, if necessary.

Clear these bastards out.

- Good evening.

- Is Auntie M in?

Put that away.

- Are you who I think you are?

- Unfortunately

What a pleasure this is, two handsome men

visiting me on such a lovely evening.

- Long time, Jackson. -- Eh, not long enough.

-- Mr. President.

Sir,

- Jaqueline, MI-6 finest. Don't f*** with her.

- Hello.

The phones are down. That said,

It did allow us to pick up this..

Mr. President, Banning ..

I hope this finds you well.

Mike, we got your message.

And I'm sure you don't know

who you can trust,

and all prior authentications

may be compromised.

So .. I offer you this,

Do you have any idea the joy a man experiences pulling a

70-lb King Mackerel out of the waters around Jekyll Island?

That's him.

a Delta Team has been clandestinely inserted.

By now they should en route to your position.

They'll take you to the US Embassy, where an armored

convoy stands by to get you out of SAM range.

- And on to a military train.

- Thank god.

- Let's get us out of here.

- Alright, sir. So who's behind all this?

Aamir Bakawi.

Bakawi provides armaments.

He's a fucken criminal.

Shielded by governments.

Mike, there was a drone strike, to get him.

Two years ago, authorized by the G8.

So we took a shot.

He survived

We didn't know his family was there.

His daughter was killed.

Well, he certainly got his revenge.

- Civilians?

- Well, they're not being targeted specifically, but ..

- Collateral damage?

- Yeah, quite a lot, I'm afraid.

[??] targeting. No official support from

any countries Barkawi shows, but..

Didn't have any problems finding the creeps today,

United Nations all with blood on their hands. [??]

- Who's on the inside? There's gotta be somebody.

- Yeah, you're right.

They've infiltrated our CCTV system.

And they've copied the Wi-Fi network. [??]

- Yeah, but who?

- I don't know.

Mike ..

if you hadn't move our schedule up.

- Here you go sir, get this in you.

- Thanks.

- I don't know about you, but I'm thirsty as f***.

- Yeah.

- How're you doing?

- I was thinking about my son.

He sends me these jokes every day.

It's kind of our, our thing.

A little off-color.

His mother wouldn't approve.
