- I'd like to speak to Jones.

- Shut the f*** up, Milo!

You can go.

Hold on, arms out.

Bang! See that?

You get your men trained up.

I mean some proper army sh*t, you feel me?

He'd be more dangerous than these

liquer d*ckheads out here.

- You seeing this?

- Yeah, so many joltin'.

Some bullshit blood.

March men into death.

That's power.

- Well?

- I need something.

So, you want a favour now?

Let Ryan go.

- Why would I do that?

- Because I've asked you.

Oh... we're negotiating?

Go on,

give me something in return.

You get to feel good about yourserlf.

Oh, come on, drop it, man,

you're acting all soft, Miller.

Making me feel well

choked up.

- You don't need him.

- You're right, actualy.

I don't need him, but I am his older.

I'm the one he looks up to, me!

I really think you're missing the point,

you know?

We're all somebody's b*tch.

Even you, soldier.

You tell that f***ing Fahad,

he don't have a brother.

What you gonna do,

when they put this sh*t all down?

Where you gonna go then?

A year ago I arranged...

I arranged for twelve Muslim men

from across the country, to go to Pakistan.

To train for Jihad...

I recruited them, indoctrinated them.

And shipped them off

to the training camps.

I brought them back to the UK

and turned them loose.

- Why?

- Remember Mumbai?

Four three-men teams. We...

They were assigned designated locations.

The targets,

they selected for themselves.

One thing for sure, it's...

high value targets. Tourist locations.

I was told to let it develop.

I was assured that it would be stopped,

at the eleventh hour.

I did everything Turner asked.

Why not shut it down, now?

Turner didn't tell you about the plot,

did he?

Did he tell you that Abdullah

is an asset of the Pakistani I.S.I.?

The Intelligence service?

They finance this operation.

I was there when it was given the go-ahead.

- So, when is it gonna happen?

- They're waiting for the weapons to arrive.

How do we know,

when the weapons arrive?

All I know, is that they're being

brought in by boat.

I don't know times,

or dates.

Just that it's gonna happen, very soon.

What about the cells?

Does Abdullah know where they are?

No one knows where they are.

They become ghosts.

- All we know is where to drop the weapons.

- Where is that?

- I should've been told, Chris.

- You're right, I'm sorry.

But you gained her trust,

that's what matters. She's talking to you.

She doesn't know,

where the cells are, so...

It's not your job

to save this girl, Miller.

She knew what she was getting into to.

This is not Afghanistan.

She knows, believe me,

she knows.

- That's why I want you to bring her in.

- I don't think that's good idea.

I'm not asking you.

- Chris, listen...

- No, you listen!

Do you honestly want the deaths

of hundreds of civilians on your hands?

Because that's what this is.

So, why don't we

shut this thing down, then?

We would have...

if we knew where the cells were.

Wether you know where the cells are or not,

you need to be thinking about it.

Hello Alyana.

You're aware

why we've asked you here today.

If I knew where the cells were,

don't you think I would've told you?

That's what we're here, to find out.

- I thought your men were watching them.

- Why the silence?

Your men were becoming sloppy.

I couldn't take the risk.

After all,

I'm the one with everything to lose.

Tell us about the weapons.

When and how are they being brought in?

They're being brought in

by an ex-KLA gangster... Kosov.

- Where's the weapons drop?

- I don't know.

Is there anything you do know?

I know that the member of the I.S.I...

can only be appointed

with the approval of the CIA.

- What?

- Abdullah is an I.S.I. asset.

If they are funding this operation,

who sanctioned it? Who gave the order?

The fact that Al-Qaeda might have

infiltrated the Pakistani I.S.I...

- is irrelevant...

- Not infiltrated.

The I.S.I. and the CIA is Al-Qaeda.

What exactly you hope

to achieve with this nonsense?

We're neither I.S.I. or CIA.

You knew where the cells were

when they were brought back to the UK.

You could've arrested them,

but you didn't. Why?

Why didn't you warn us,

about the bomb factory?

I didn't know.

Find the cells

and will put an end to this.

You know what I realized today?

Whatever the outcome is,

I'm easily disposable.

Do you know where the cells are?

Alyana you can trust me, you know you can.

The war on terror will escalate.

Al-Qaeda defines our very existance now.

We're the enemy, at war with ourselves.

Where'd you say you served?

Afghanistan? Iraq?

Both.

Then you know that the only option we have

in Afghanistan, is pull out, or negotiate.

Pull over here.

We'll figure out a way,

I promise.

You're not alone, alright?

Fahad!

- Fahad!

- He ain't there.

- Where is he?

- Gone, man.

- Gone where?

- Feds is lookin' for him, you get me?

Why? What happened?

F***in' dude

tried to assassinate Tyrone, man.

He's a dead man,

same as you'll be.

The weapons are being delivered tonight.

- By the Kosovan?

- Yeah, Ramush.

Where?

Come with me.

Alyana, this is Dan.

We served together.

- How's it going, alright?

- Yeah.

Dan will look after you.

- I don't need babysitting.

- I know. Be back in a while, yeah?

- Miller... You sure about this?

- Jesus!

- Bobby, you didn't even tell her your name?

- I'll find the weapons, this ends.

That's my boy! You did it!

We got these bastards!

Right, let's have them then.

- So, what do we do now?

- Now we take out the cells.

- I killed him.

- Who, Ramush?

- I got him on his boat.

- Forget about it. He'll be taken care of.

You go home and get some rest.

- I won't forget what you did.

- Hey...

- Take care of yourself.

- You too.

- Where's Dan?

- Had to leave.

Why didn't you tell me

he's Chris's brother?

- I trust Dan with my life.

- But I don't trust Chris.

Let's not do this... now,

Alyana, okay?

What happened to you?

What?

Robert?

What's done is done,

can't undo it.

- But it's not over.

- No, Ramush is dead.

I f***ed up.

I have to put it right.

I've located one of the cells.

Sh*t never changes.

- Read it!

- Let's just do it.

- Read it!

- You f***ing read it.

- Read it, sh*t head!

- F*** it, let's get this over with!

Go ahead, f***ing saw it then!

Pull that flat...

Pull that flat.

Yeah.

Oh, my God, I know him.

He's one of Turner's men.

Cowboy...

Come on.

Just breathe,

just breathe, in...

- and out.

- I can't breathe.

- You're alright, okay?

- They'll hunt us.

You saved my life, Alyana.

Alyana, listen,

I'm gonna take you to the train station.

You get on a train, you disappear.

You know how to do that.

They wanted the attack to happen

the whole time.

I was just put there to make sure

that Abdullah carried out their orders.

You did what you had to.

Somethings are only solved one way.

Chris used us both.

He's running the cells.

- What you gonna do?

- Don't worry about me.
