Survivor Page #2

We're talking about a medical professional

with serious political connections.

Is this really a matter

of national security?

Sam?

It's her call. I'm standing by it.

I'll inform the Home Secretary

accordingly.

But let me tell you something about Balan

that you probably don't know.

A few years ago,

his wife applied for a visa

for emergency medical treatment

in the United States.

She died because some bureaucrat

kept asking for one more piece of paper.

Under the circumstances,

you might consider showing her widower

a little compassion, Ms. Abbott.

Ambassador.

Congratulations. You're already making

enemies in high places.

Keep it up.

Sam, get control of this situation.

You okay?

Yeah.

- Thanks for backing me up.

- You have great instincts, Kate.

Bill.

- Can I talk to you for a sec?

- Sure.

Sorry, Kate, I'll have to take this.

I'll meet you guys at the restaurant.

- All right, see you there.

- Okay. Gaston's, right?

See you there.

- You need to do it now.

- Okay, I understand.

Thanks, mate.

- After you.

- Thanks.

I think this is our table.

Classy. Look at that bar.

- Naomi, have you ever...

- This place is really nice.

That bar looks amazing.

Bill's crazy about this place.

What you told me last night

about Bill pulling that file...

Kate, it's the guy's birthday party.

We're supposed to be having fun.

Oh, um... he pre-ordered

the pressed duck for all of us.

- Okay.

- Um, we're six, please.

Wait. Did anyone remember

to pick up the present for Bill?

- What? That was you.

- I'm pretty sure...

- Not playing a part of this.

- All right, guys, pony up.

- Is this enough?

- I know.

It's like we're here for the free food.

Hi. I'm here to pick up a gift.

- That's beautiful.

- Yes. It's a great choice.

- I'll wrap it up for you.

- Thank you.

What's taking Bill so long?

- All right, here comes the good part.

- What do you mean?

Is that what we're eating?

That's disgusting.

Thank you.

Help.

Naomi.

Alvin! Joyce!

Help.

There's someone hurt.

Abbott's still alive.

Where?

Following the Embassy survivor protocol.

That's what they're trained to do.

Make sure she doesn't survive.

- What are you hearing, Sally?

- A restaurant blew.

- The place looks like a killing zone.

- Gas made the explosion?

According to first responders'

radio chatter, it was a bomb.

I'm working on getting

security video feeds.

- Where was the hit?

- Just a few blocks away.

Do we have anyone in the area?

The visa crew took Bill

to lunch at Gaston's.

Christ. Waring Lane.

Oh, God.

- American Embassy.

- All right, sir.

- How long until this is fully out?

- Hours.

How many?

Four of yours, two waiters,

saleswoman from the glassware shop,

and five passersby.

And more than a dozen wounded.

The blast originated

where your people were seated.

- Has anyone claimed responsibility?

- No.

The bomb took out most of the security

cameras near the restaurant.

Don't know how much

of the feed we'll recover.

Is that all of 'em?

We found this in the shop.

Abbott must have been in there

when the bomb went off.

Do you think she's dead?

We can't find her.

Joyce, Robert, Alvin, Naomi,

they're all dead.

Oh, my God.

Bill Talbot was supposed to be

at that restaurant.

He stayed behind

to take a secure link call.

If he was running late,

he should be somewhere

between the Embassy and the restaurant.

Get a lock on the trackers

on Bill and Kate's IDs right now.

Okay. That was the search team.

There's still no sign of Abbott.

So what do we know about her?

Only child, born and raised in Montana,

parents are deceased.

Stanford University.

Then a two-year scholarship for graduate

studies at the University of London.

She applied to the State Department,

scored high enough to get into

the Bureau of Diplomatic Security.

She single-handedly unraveled a plot

to bomb the American Embassy in 20...

Okay, so she knows the city

and she's good at her job.

Tell me something I don't know.

Well, she's better than good.

London's considered a senior posting.

She speaks four languages, three of them

being Russian, Arabic, and Mandarin.

- Wait. She's CIA?

- We don't know.

Okay, until proven otherwise,

we assume Abbott is alive.

That makes her a material witness

and quite possibly a suspect.

Get her details out to the police,

MI5, the media.

If she's wandering around injured,

surely a security camera will pick her up.

No, she'll know better than that.

But put her friends, especially

that photographer, Lisa Carr,

under surveillance.

Abbott might reach out to her.

I had a lock on Kate's locator,

but the signal keeps breaking up.

Kate knows we're tracking

her Embassy ID.

She's following protocol,

heading for the safe zone in the park.

- Talbot's already there.

- I'll be there in two minutes.

- Kate.

- Bill.

- Thank God you're all right. Okay?

- Okay.

- Bill, they're all dead.

- I know, I know.

- All right, come here.

- Bill, I tried to save them.

- There's nothing left.

- Let's walk here.

- I tried to save them.

- I know. Relax.

There was... there was a man

with a gun outside. He almost...

Why couldn't you have left things

alone, Kate? Now I have no choice.

Kate...

Bill.

Look, look. Over there, see?

Danny! Come here!

Get away! She's got a gun!

It was an accident.

- He tried...

- Someone call the police!

Somebody help him!

Someone call the police!

Yeah, yeah, Lancaster gate. Yeah.

Excuse me.

Damn it.

Witnesses saw Abbott holding a gun

and Talbot staggering toward the fountain.

And this time, we have video evidence.

Please, Paul,

give me the chance to find her.

I'm sorry, Sam. I have my orders.

Look, I know that you track your people

using GPS chips in their IDs.

It's how you knew

that Talbot and Abbott were here.

Hang on a second.

- Where's Bill's ID?

- I'm sure we'll find it. My point is this,

assuming Abbott still has her ID,

you can find her,

and it's best I'm there when you do.

The kid's video went viral.

The Home Secretary saw it,

got on to the Foreign Office.

Now she's wanted for deadly assault

and questioning in a terrorist incident.

Kate has diplomatic immunity.

You can't touch her.

You know we won't take chances

with people like that, Sam.

Come in.

Who are you?

Trevor. I work with Fred.

I only work with Fred. Shut the door.

He's ill. Do you want my help or not?

The signal is active.

You'd better hurry.

What's happening

with those trackers, Sally?

Someone must have taken Bill Talbot's.

It's moved away from the park.

At the moment, it's stationary

off Russell Square.

There's still a problem with Kate's.

The tracker must have got damaged

in the explosion.

What's the last location

we have for her?

Lamb's market off Curzon street.

- And you're sure no one else can track her?

- Absolutely. Only you and me.

I need to get to her, Sally.

That's exactly what Anderson

is expecting you to do,

and he'll be right behind you

with an SAS team.
