will have to show valid ID

and face on-board bag checks.

The Home Secretary

has authorised police checkpoints...

I have your wife.

- So let me speak to her, then.

- The Russians have sedated her and...

- Bullshit.

- Do not interrupt. The deal's changed.

I'm bringing her to London.

You name the time and the place,

and if you attack before the exchange,

I'll cut your baby out of her

and drown it in a toilet.

No.

I'll tell your whore you said goodbye.

- Was the baby thing too much?

- No, it was very you.

I trusted June.

You were right to decommission me.

Despite everything I've done,

you're still here trying to do some good.

- You're your father's son, all right.

- Careful, Harry.

Why do all this?

Why not just walk away?

Why? Erin Watts.

Ruth Evershed. Your father.

They gave their lives for the service.

I won't let it be destroyed.

I won't let their sacrifice be in vain.

It was down there.

- What was?

- Where your father died.

Don't f***ing play me. I'm warning you.

I'm not working you. Not this time.

Was it quick?

Two to the heart.

He could have given me up,

but he chose not to.

Yes?

Tomorrow at 12:
00,

you're gonna be standing in the middle of

Waterloo Bridge facing south with my wife.

You try anything, anything at all,

I can't guarantee anyone's safety.

Anyone's.

You bring my wife,

I give you your phone number.

We're on.

Hello?

Holloway.

- That message came from H Branch.

- Sorry.

- You'd have brought backup, otherwise.

- Who says I didn't?

I do.

We can get to Qasim,

but we need help.

Call it in and we disappear.

One clean choice, Hannah.

Trust me and help me.

Or walk away.

Do good or do well, eh?

Sh*t.

- I thought you'd gone to kill him.

- One thing at a time, Miss Santo.

They're nearing position.

- Anything?

- Not a sausage.

The self-perpetuating algorithm I wrote

last night is constantly updating,

revising all potential vantage points.

- Sudoku not cutting it, then?

- Please.

Okay, we're here.

- How long do we have?

- Thirty seconds. We need a lead.

I'm covering over 300 cameras.

Give me something. As soon as he

realises we're playing him, he's gone.

Wait.

National Theatre. Dead feed.

- It was working 30 seconds ago.

- Are you sure?

Yes, confirmed.

Camera's gone down in the last minute.

Third level roof, east corner.

Harry, we need to stall.

- Don't pick up. He'll ring again.

- I have to take it.

We have to assume

he's looking directly at us.

Yes?

You were told to be facing south.

- I have his wife.

- You were meant to face south.

- Give me the number.

- Turn around.

Give me the number now or we walk.

Turn around now

or I put you down.

- There.

- Her, too.

I haven't gotten him yet.

You've got five seconds

to turn around. Turn.

- I need time. Do something.

- Wait.

- What?

- Well, maybe this guy's never seen her.

I'm almost there.

Is it her?

No, brother.

I'm sorry.

Kill her.

Give me the number.

Don't!

Stop!

Where's Qasim?

What's the target?

No!

It's okay. You're only winded.

Okay?

Will, she's all right.

- Sniper's dead.

- Then it's over.

Malcolm, make yourself scarce.

Yes?

My wife's dead, isn't she?

Harry, listen.

Let Hannah call us in.

Harry?

Hannah, why is Harry off comms?

- He's on the phone.

- Who's he talking to?

No idea.

Call us in.

Get SCO19 here now.

Four vans loaded with RDX leaving

from Limehouse North Industrial Park

within the next 15 minutes.

- How do you know that?

- Qasim just told me.

Vans loaded with bombs leaving

in 15 minutes. You need to move now.

Mr. Emerson. Sir.

I think we got him.

Let's get going!

Armed police! Stay where you are!

- Don't do it. Don't!

- Clear!

- Clear!

- Clear!

- Eyes on principal.

- Negative!

Negative!

- Negative, sir.

- Command, we are clear.

Principal is not on site.

I repeat, Qasim is not here.

Harry.

What did you say to him?

He told you his plan.

He gave up his own men.

Why would he do that?

What have you done?

Armed police! Don't move!

Put it down. Slowly.

Go!

You need to tell them everything, Harry.

Harry. I'd say we're due a catch-up.

Indeed we are. Might be a little

over this one's head, though.

Oh. Finally outlived his

usefulness, has he?

Ever since the southwest corner

of Alexanderplatz.

Keep Holloway close by.

Make sure he's secure.

Perhaps we won't be so hasty.

Have you found Qasim?

Harry will talk.

You still don't know him.

Qasim gave up his entire operation.

What did you say to him?

I'd have thought

they'd cut you loose after Berlin.

They want to offer you a deal.

Pin everything on Harry and walk away.

They've prepared a statement.

All you have to do is sign.

I told them I'd do this, then I'm out.

There is no "out".

The door behind you

leads to an access tunnel. Open it.

I can't.

You have an emergency backup key

on a chain around your neck.

- What did you give him?

- Harry.

Whatever you're up to...

What would Ruth think of it?

What did you give him?

Check the back.

- Southwest corner.

- What?

I found Harry on the northeast corner

of Alexanderplatz.

Open sightlines. Ideal place for a meet.

Just now he said southwest corner.

The opposite.

Where you trap someone.

- What did you give him?

- Oliver, control yourself.

That... That's a perimeter breach.

Harry?

I gave him you.

Stay down!

Stay down! Stay down!

Lock us down.

Stay down!

- Shut up! Stay down!

- You're a psychopath.

Stay down! We're not here for you!

We're here for them.

You stay down!

Think about your families.

- Is the glass rated for assault rifles?

- It'll hold.

Hamza.

Why?

There's 50 armed men

the other side of those doors.

You should give yourselves up.

Get here. Open it!

If you think we're going to negotiate...

- Open the door.

- But he'll kill us.

There's so much evil in one room.

Your only chance of getting out

of here alive is to surrender...

Do you think I want to get out?

How many people's lives

began to end in this room?

- My people's lives.

- Your people?

Nobody asked you to speak for them,

to kill for them.

If you want a hostage...

I think he's made it clear

he's not interested in hostages.

I'm the Director General of MI5.

Kill me and then put down your gun.

Show mercy.

It will resonate around the world.

Otherwise you're just

one more dead terrorist.

- To your half of the world.

- Oh, you don't understand.

No one's going to see you as a hero.

By the time we've finished,

you'll be a drunken, wife-beating,

impotent kafir.

We'll wheel out

a couple of Marrakech rent boys,

give them free tickets to Disneyland

in return for saying

you begged them to piss on you.

Can't have you being remembered well,

can we, Adem?

Wait, wait, stop. This is my fault.

I set up his escape.

Called off the helicopter. But I...

I didn't know...

I shouldn't be the one who...

You bloody coward.

I thought you fought to a higher standard.

I'm sorry,

Adem, about the loss of your wife.

I know what that can do to you.
