The Foreigner Page #7

Synopsis: The story of humble London businessman Quan (Chan), whose long-buried past erupts in a revenge-fueled vendetta when the only person left for him to love - his teenage daughter - is taken from him in a senseless act of politically-motivated terrorism. In his relentless search for the identity of the terrorists, Quan is forced into a cat- and-mouse conflict with a British government official (Brosnan), whose own past may hold clues to the identities of the elusive killers.

It was f***in' disgusting.

Look, I know what you

Sorry for the bother, but there's

a gas leak in the building,

and the gas man needs entry

for an inspection.

Our gas works fine!

There's no problem!

He needs to inspect

all the flats, regardless.

He won't take a moment,

and it is an emergency.

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

It's quite important,

Mr. Upton.

By law, I'm allowed

to use my own key.

All right. Just a second.

Come down when you're done, and

I'll take you to the next flat.

Thank you.

I will be very fast.

This way.

Can I see

Would you mind putting

She said

a gas man turned up

with an assault gun,

a Chinaman.

Started shooting,

killed everyone but her,

and then walked out

the door.

She said he was a Chinaman?

Affirmative.

About 60 years old.

ROSS:
Just got word

the device is neutralized.

Good work.

Fox Hunt is now terminated.

No loose ends.

Understood.

(DOG BARKS)

BROMLEY:
It's Bromley.

I need an AP out to all

city-district units

from Wapping High Street

to the A1203.

Suspect's an Asian male, 61

years of age, 5'8", 11 stone.

His name's Ngoc Minh Quan.

He's armed, and has

US Special Forces training.

Use extreme caution.

(SIGHS)

(CELL PHONE VIBRATING)

Yes.

I was on the flight

they targeted to blow up.

Because of your

timely information,

we stopped it.

I wanted to

thank you personally.

Thank God you're okay.

The bombers were neutralized,

even Sara McKay,

whom you called, "Maggie".

She gave a reporter the bomb

that was to have been put

on my flight.

She also carried out

the bus carnage,

and is directly connected

to you, and McGrath.

We have call-pens going to and

from her off the cell towers

by your farm and town homes.

That's 250 precision

locations and activations

consistent with

your mutual activities.

Katherine...

I've spoken to the PM.

He's agreed to keep you

in office for now.

I'm issuing pardons for five

On-the-Runs, one is your cousin.

But make no mistake, Deputy

First Minister, you are ours now.

I say "jump,"

you say "where?"

You're on the next flight

back to London.

Tomorrow, you'll brief SO15 and

myself on everything you know.

All of it.

(LINE DISCONNECTS)

(DOORBELL RINGING)

(SILENCED GUNSHOT)

Good evening, sir.

How did you find me?

I gave you the names,

like I said.

This woman, she's a bomber.

You lie. You plan everything.

For whatever it's worth,

I never intended to

hurt your daughter.

Or any of those people.

Send.

Do it!

(CHIMES)

It's now on the Internet,

you and your mistress.

The whole world will know

you are a terrorist.

Goodbye, Mr. Hennessy.

(GRUNTS)

(PANTING)

(FOOTSTEPS)

(OBJECTS CLATTERING)

(COMPUTER PINGS)

BROMLEY:
Yes?

It's Landesman, sir, in S-11.

I've got him.

Where?

The Happy Peacock Takeaway. He's

returned. Do I send in a team?

No.

I believe we owe

this chap something.

Keep back for now.

Observe and report only.

Yes, sir.
