Kate knows what to do, Sam.

It's more important

we find Talbot's tracker.

Whoever has it might be able to tell us

what really happened in that park.

The fireworks in Dubai.

That was you, right?

Now you can follow

whoever has one of these.

And the second item?

Straight from the lab

used by the security services.

Dials you into their field agent

communication system...

You shouldn't have asked about Dubai.

We're in the Italian Garden

on the north side of Kensington Gardens,

where a short time ago...

- Sally?

- The Met has issued a warrant

for Kate's arrest.

...horrific explosion earlier today

at a popular restaurant not far from here.

This is Sam Parker. Leave a message.

God damn it.

And Bill Talbot's tracker

fell off the grid five minutes ago.

...taken by a witness here.

We can show you these images now.

There is a woman seen

running from the scene...

- Section 5.

- Sally, it's me.

Where are you? I've been monitoring you,

but your tracker keeps shorting out.

You have to give me your location, Kate.

Kate? Kate?

Damn.

Sam, what's going on?

Did you find Talbot's tracker?

- No, just a dead guy.

- What?

Talk to me about Kate.

She called in two minutes ago,

hung up before I could get a location.

Sam, you need to get back here.

The Ambassador's on the warpath.

He must have missed Abbott.

Tell the pickup teams to stand down.

Let's see what's so interesting

about that hotel.

What do I have to do to convince you?

Oh, come on, please, give me a break.

Just one phone call.

Look, it was a present.

It's sterling, okay? Please.

- Local call only.

- Okay.

- Hello.

- It's me.

Kate. Oh, my God. I've been watching

the news. Where are you?

- Lisa, please, I need clothes and money.

- All right, I'll go to your place.

Uh, no, no, no. It's not safe, um...

Can you just come meet me

and bring me some of your things?

- Where?

- Somewhere where there's a lot of people.

St. Pancras station

by the Christmas market. Two hours.

What's the composition of the gas?

A precise mixture of hydrogen,

methane, and fluorine.

The volume in New York

will be four times greater.

So will the results.

Made to the exact specifications

necessary to trigger this device.

I'm curious. Why not use

a detonator in New York?

At major events,

the police carry

beeper-size radiation detectors.

There's bomb-sniffing dogs,

Hazmat units.

If there's any sign of an alert,

even a false alarm,

the first thing the authorities do

is kill all communications,

jam radio frequencies,

shut down all cell phone towers.

Then we have the counter snipers

placed in a 500-meter radius.

However,

I shall be firing

outside their perimeter.

Soon, my friend.

So now there's only the girl.

Just make sure my shipment

gets to New York, that's all I ask.

The large gas explosion

ripped through the housing estate

- in tower hamlets.

- Thanks.

What have you got for me, Maureen?

The president is demanding answers.

I just spoke with the British Home

Secretary. They don't have her. Do we?

Abbott's tracker was damaged in the blast.

We lost her signal for the moment,

but even if we get it back,

the Brits have snatch teams ready to go.

If I try to make a move on Abbott

and happen to get lucky on her location,

- I lead her right to Anderson.

- Sam, she's a liability.

Kate had nothing to do

with Bill's murder.

Go ahead.

Um, this morning Kate took

the monthly visa list.

The flash drive contains

all of the background checks

and references on the applicants.

If we find there's been

a possible terrorist breach,

that's usually the first place we look.

- She said you'd okayed it.

- Did you?

No.

What about the backup systems?

Five files were permanently

deleted earlier today.

The entry log shows

that it was Abbott's ID.

It gets worse.

We checked the security log.

Abbott has been working a lot of nights

when there's no one around.

It's possible that she created documents

to get somebody into the country,

and then erased the records

to cover herself.

May I remind you that just five

weeks ago, you sent her over here

with glowing recommendations

because we needed the best.

If I recall correctly,

she was one of your protegees,

although I'm sure you'll deny that now.

I was skeptical at first,

but it turns out you were right.

- She's an extraordinary asset.

- Yeah, just not for us.

That's complete bullshit,

and deep in your scared little souls

you all know it.

We don't assume the worst

of our best people

and we damn sure don't sell them out

at the first sign of trouble.

But most of all,

we don't forget motivation,

and Kate's sterling.

She lost some

of her best friends on 9/11.

Then why is she still running?

She's on the move.

- Where's Kate?

- The last time we got a signal?

Leicester Square,

and that was 10 minutes ago.

It was barely registering.

Jesus, you look how I feel.

How are you holding up?

We're monitoring

Anderson's communications.

His people are looking hard,

but in all the wrong places.

How did it go upstairs?

They want me to try to bring in Kate,

use Anderson if I have to.

From Anderson's forensic lab.

Don't ask how I got it.

The bomb has traces of chromium.

- We haven't seen that since...

- Paris, two years ago.

The Watchmaker.

Or whatever he calls himself these days.

Whoever wanted the visa crew dead

paid for the best operator in the business.

He's had so much reconstructive surgery,

no one knows what the hell he looks like.

She's in St. Pancras station.

I'll have to take the chance.

And where's Abbott's friend?

She just turned off the Euston Road

into St. Pancras station.

All right, stay with her. I'm on my way.

Please allow

passengers off the train first.

Please allow passengers

off the train first.

For your safety and security,

CCTV is in operation in every station.

Code Lucifer. Repeat, code Lucifer.

Lisa.

Suspected suicide bomber

at northeast entrance.

Okay, move. Move, move, move, move!

What's the matter?

Did you bring the money?

Did you bring it?

Kate, you've got to tell me something.

Stay here. Don't move

until someone tells you to.

What?

Kate. Kate!

Move! Move!

Move, move, move! Abbott!

You had your chance to help me, Sam.

Make sure he doesn't follow us.

Abbott?

There's no way out, Abbott.

It's a dead end.

This way, sir.

Damn it.

It's this way.

Abbott!

Abbott, stop!

Stop!

Stop!

Follow her!

Abbott!

No, this way!

- I think she went this way.

- Sh*t. Sh*t.

Sh*t!

Sh*t!

We can seal them off from the street.

What, you think she's gonna take

an officially marked tourist exit?

There are hundreds

of other ways out of here!

She could be anywhere.

What?

Jesus.

F***ing technology.

B*tch.

Sam?

Oh, come on.

You know I didn't do any of this.

Gotcha.

You sure it was the same guy you saw

after the restaurant explosion?

Yes, and he was in the park

after Bill tried to kill me.

So he could have followed you here.
