What do I always say?

Pawns can't be kings.

But what can they be?

Free.

Muffled cheers

Charlie: That's right.

Free to roam.

No heavy crown weighing us down.

Referee: Round three!

Crowd clamours

Charlie: Listen.

I have to take a fall in the third.

Don't worry.

It's gonna look a lot worse than it really is.

Punches thud

I love you, son.

You never forget that.

Or, um, Vic... Victoria?

Victoria... detective chung?

Is she here? Wait, wait.

Where are we?

His readings are stable. I'll be back to check on him.

Elliot grunts

Who knows he's here?

Man: No one, sir. All yours.

Please confirm your name.

Elliot...

Elliot Carter.

I'm an undercover police officer with—...

Just the questions I ask, please.

You were present at the hotel Reno last night, correct?

Correct.

And you came in contact with Sean Wallace at what time?

Around... 0400.4:30.

Between those two times.

And you left the location at what time?

I don't know.

You don't know?

I didn't stop to check my watch

when your people started shooting at me.

What were you running from?

I just told you. — no, Elliot.

You didn't.

What department you say you were with again?

Sean Wallace blew up a building two days ago.

That's an act of terrorism.

Terrorism? — mm.

So, I need to know

why you went to meet him last night.

Elliot grunts

what's that?

What's in the bags?

Now you are asking the right questions.

What's going on?

Newsreader: There have been reports of an explosion

in the city tonight at the Belvedere tower.

Reporter: Emergency services arrived in record time

just moments after the fire... — as the area was cleared

the extent of the damage became apparent.

News of the Belvedere tower collapse

has overshadowed what should 've been a morning of celebration

for Nasir afridi and his party.

Here '3 what the new mayor of London had to say.

I come to office in the advent of a disaster

which has shook London.

Thankfully, the recently completed Belvedere tower

had not yet opened and no lives were lost.

Emergency services have been working through the night

to elimina te any immedia te danger to our civilians.

And as always, the people of London have come together...

Thank very much, mr dumani. We'll be in touch.

In the spirit that they are known best for.

Reporter: Ll/lr afridi, do you have any more information

about what could cause a new building to collapse?

For now, / can confirm a thorough investigation

is underway to determine the cause of the blast

which took down Belvedere tower.

So / ask you all to remain vigilant

and as your new mayor, I will do everything in my power

to protect this city from harm.

Helicopter whirs

harks on phone: His death '3 on us, Vicky.

Anthony was a good cop.

How do / explain that to his family?

Tell me, how the fuck do / explain that, Vicky?

I just, I just need you to listen to me.

Look, I—I know, I... wait—— — I'm going after Elliot.

Vicky: What?

He can stand trial with Sean Wallace.

I want you to talk to Elliot's girlfriend

Shannon dumani.

Get as much information from her as you can

before they shut this thing down.

I'm sorry, I/icky.

I know how much you've put into it.

Distant crowd: Hallowed be thy name...

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done...

On earth as it is in heaven.

Give us today our daily bread...

Ed sighs

Forever, amen.

I don't know where Sean is.

Give me time.

I'll get him away from London.

He shot me, Marian.

He could have killed me. — but he didn't.

For Christ's sake, ed. We're family.

He scoffs

he took down their building.

They want you and Sean dead, Marian.

And if I don't deliver that, Alexander dies.

Tell me where he is

and I'll spare Billy and Jacqueline.

Club music blares

Alex: You've got our investors' attention.

Good.

Soon they will have the world's attention.

Every building I take down will bring more questions.

They want to meet.

Face to face. Make a deal.

Face to face?

Yeah.

Ok.

I'll send you my address.

We go together.

Ok, brother?

Yeah.

Phone beeps

We've unlocked that cop's phone for you, mr Wallace.

Phone dials

Phone buzzes

Sean, mate.

Where the fuck are you? I'm out here by myself.

Look, we're gonna be stronger if we're together.

But I don't know where you are, so...

Call me, please.

She sighs

fuck, fuck, fuck!

Reno, Reno, reno_.

That's gonna bug me. He chuckles

in what state is Reno situated?

Man: Nevada.

Joseph: Ok. Let's get back to it.

Why did you run when the officers arrived

on the scene, Elliot?

For my safety.

Police have the right to shoot a suspect who runs.

You know that.

So why did you shoot back?

I was confused.

Or maybe you were acting on an order?

What?

Who gave you the order to run

when the police entered the building?

No one.

Mr Duncan. — no one.

I don't know what you're—...

Duncan grunts

muffled groan

Duncan in muffled voice: Answer him.

Answer him!

Duncan roars — Elliot yells

Elliot groans

Joseph: Come on now. Who ordered you?

You're pissing me off, Elliot.

No one ordered me!

I don't know what you're talking about!

Talk to Victoria, detective chung.

She's my handler.

Or harks, dci harks, talk to harks!

He'll back me up. — harks? Ah!

Talk to harks, he'll tell you everything!

Harks, yes, your superior.

Harks.

No...

I don't think he will.

We're your only friends now, Elliot.

You're on your own.

No, no, I didn't do that! I didn't do that!

Elliot yells — Duncan grunts

Joseph: I wanna know about the people

who invest in the wallaces.

I wanna know if you had any contact with them.

And I wanna know who the fuck you are working for now

because it ain't her majesty's police.

Church bell chimes

Mr kapadia?

Jevan: Here's where we're at.

I've been on the phone to Asia all night

and our clients have been completely reassured

that their assets are all safe.

When america wakes up, I'll be on the phone first thing

to New York and then the west coast.

You know, our underwriters have been working overtime.

Look, guys, I am telling you

there is nothing to worry about.

Mr kapadia.

Your time has run out.

Woman: We can help you.

Or you can help yourself.

Car horn blares

car horns honk — indistinct arguments

asif: You're very kind, minister.

My son is a genuine person.

I'm on my way to see him and I'll pass that on.

Right, thank you.

Henry, I'll walk the last block.

Car horns honk

He won.

Nasir afridi. He won.

Yes. Actually, Nasir is my son.

Oh, he's such a lovely man.

I just met him at the victory party.

You must be so proud of him. — I am.

Asif afridi.

Pleasure to meet you.

And what is your name, my dear?

Nasir got my vote.

We're all looking forward to hearing him speak.

Music: "The only way is up" by yazz

He took a meeting with a journalist.

They're upstairs.

I don't know what I was thinking.

In urdu:

Asif whimpers

Well?

It's done.

You got what you wanted.

I feel nothing. Nothing at all.

At least honour his death with satisfaction.

You are judging me?

Why did you come back here?

I've helped you get asif.

What do you expect from me?

Nothing. I'm going back to Kurdistan.

She scoffs

I'm not like you.

I only wanted to hurt one man.

All the other bloodshed's because of you.

You're prepared to let your own family die.

That's the reality of my struggle.

We suffer.

This life is a choice for you.

I didn't choose this.

Every penny I make goes back to Kurdistan.

I stand for the freedom of my people.

Who do you stand for now, huh?

Your business is over.

Your family's being hunted down.

Why are you here?

Fuck you, Sean Wallace.

Voicemail: Please leave your message after the tone.

Alex: Je Van, it's Alex.

I have a solution to our problem.

I'm on my way over.

It's gonna be ok.

Policewoman: Stand back, please, sir. Stand back.

Indistinct clamour

Policewoman: Stand back, please, sir!

Stand back. — indistinct chatter

Joseph: Did the investors kill jevan kapadia?

I don't know anything about any investors.

Joseph: I know you're lying, Elliot, but that's ok.

We'll get there.

What took you so long to get to Sean?

Elliot?

Elliot grunts

tell me how you found him.

Billy!

His brother Billy!

Announcement: All outbound boarding gates

are experiencing delays due to an increased level of security.

Please allow additional time to reach your boarding gate

and passing additional security checks

before boarding the plane.

Elliot: Billy?

Billy, can you hear me?

I can't find Sean. I'm worried about him.

He's on his own, Billy.

Listen, bill, you're safe.

I know you are, but he's not.

Everyone's turned against him. Everyone wants to hurt him.

Just...

Tell me where he is

so he doesn't have to be alone.

Bill?

Billy?

There's an old hotel by dagenham docks.

It got ruined in the '70s.

It's now a club run by yardies.

They still rent rooms there.

I keep one for when I need to escape.

If I were Sean, that's where I'd be.

In kurdish:

Room 307. Hotel Reno.

Elliot: Thank you. — don't thank me.

Just keep my brother safe.

And if anything happens to him...

Anyone hurts him...

I'll kill you, Elliot.

Ready?

Yeah.

Vicky: I've got eyes on Elliot Carter.

He's just finished up on a call

and he's heading east on ll/larkbu/I road.

Stay on him.

We're on our way.

Siren wails

harks: Carter's heading east on foot.

With any luck, he'll lead us to Sean Wallace. Let's go.

Can I have a word?

I want to know about your ex—husband, Steven young.

What about him?

You say he's in prison, but...

I couldn't find any of his records.

I did find the missing person's report

his mother filed in 2016.

People go missing all the time.

Who are you protecting, Shannon?

Your dad?

Your brother?

I know your husband wasn't good to you—...

No, no. You know fuck all.

You've got a good poker face.

Could use someone like you on the inside.

I need an informant.

You are out of your mind.

And I would hate for social services to think

that there was anything wrong with Danny's welfare.

You fucking threaten me again...

I don't give a fuck how some wife—beater

met his end.

But if leaning on this gets you on my side

then yeah.

I just want Sean Wallace, Shannon.

I only told Elliot he was in prison.

Does he work for you?

Elliot's no longer on the case.

He fucked up too many times.

You'll never see him again.

So he's police?

Was.

Vicky sighs

look, I know you're not like your family.

And I know you just want to protect Danny. I get it.

But is this really the best life you want for him?

Think about it.

Come and work for me and I promise

I will get you both out.

Does anyone else know that you're here?

Cos if my dad finds out... — no.

It's just between us.

I'm sorry, I just need a moment...

That's very sweet of you, Elliot.

Belonged to Anthony, that undercover you went after.

Dead.

Along with Colin apparently.

Had some interesting messages too.

Messages about you.

And the people you work for.

Gun cocks

you fucking snake.

You disgust me.

There's nothing worse than your kind.

I can think of worse.

I let you into my home, the day of my dad's funeral.

You snivelled your way into my family

using some lie about a dead wife and child.

It's not a lie.

Who are you?

Just police.

No.

You're messed up.

Why do you want to take me down?

It's not personal.

You're a criminal.

You have to request to go undercover.

You didn't have a life, did you?

Now you're fucking a gangster's daughter.

Is that exciting for you?

I don't give a shit what you think about me.

My whole life I've seen people like you get away with it.

You think you're special.

Different rules apply.

And you're right.

Most of the time.

This some righteous mission?

Nah.

It's just a mission.

I think you've enjoyed this job.

The man taking down the wallaces.

Gave you a purpose.

Otherwise, you're...

Just a nobody.

Elliot grunts

I've got something very special lined up for you.

Door opens

Water pours

who you working for, Elliot?

Elliot, give me a name. Elliot!

Give me a name, a name.

Elliot. Elliot, give me a name.

That's enough. — Elliot...

Forensics need a word.

And I need to check his vitals.

Muffled groans

be quick.

Elliot splutters — he's running out of time.

He coughs

Elliot, you've done really well.

Now I need you to listen to me really carefully.

Indistinct whispers

Just remember these words.

Do you understand?

No, no, wait, wait, please...

Thank you.

Hello, Elliot.

Thirsty? Huh? — I need to make a call.

What the fuck did you just say to me?

If you want me to tell you about them

I need to speak to my dad. — whoa, whoa.

I need to say goodbye.

Do not fuck with me, Elliot.

Hm?

No more chances now.

Charlie: Hello?

Hello, dad.

Charlie: Elliot?

Is that you?

Yeah.

Yeah, it's me.

Where have you been?

Dad, listen. — I've been calling and calling.

I've got into a bit of a scrape, haven't I?

It's gonna look like I took a fall in the third.

But I'm gonna take it all the way.

Where are you, son?

You... do you remember that place

we used to talk about travelling to?

Yeah, sure, I know where you mean.

How about you make a head start?

So soon?

Yeah. Yeah.

I'll catch up with you.

Oh, dad...

You was wrong about one thing, hm?

Pawns can be kings.

I love you, dad.

Never forget that.

Oh, I...

Joseph: I've kept to my word.

Now you keep to yours.

Tell me everything you know about them.

Knock on door

when I found out who you were

I wanted to crack your skull open.

Then I realised, you might be the only way

for me to get what I want.

My father was hiding cash for our so—called investors.

Funds meant for hospitals or schools

in some piss—poor corner of the world.

Real corruption.

That building I blew up

80% of the capital used came through tax havens.

All the people involved...

All the companies, years of information

years of implication, on there.

Why are you doing this?

Oh, I got it wrong.

I've been punishing the wrong people.

You want me to go after the people you work for?

The buildings they own...

There are bodies in the foundations.

Work with me.

These people will never see the inside of a prison, Elliot.

They build them.

Now you sound righteous.

I'm on a fucking crusade.

What about Alexander?

He already chose his side of the fight.

How are you?

I need to speak to Sean alone.

No, Elliot stays.

Ok then, let's you and me go.

No. We're all staying right here.

Say what you've gotta say.

I know there's no investors waiting.

You've fucked it, Sean.

What did you expect to achieve...

Directly attacking our investors?

The Wallace organisation is hanging on by a thread.

They killed Finn, now jevan.

You can't win.

Sean scoffs

what? Is something funny?

Yeah.

You still think any of this means anything.

Wake up.

Think about what we built.

It's all sand and lies.

And billions of fucking pounds!

Which we could have lived on!

Spent. Invested.

Done whatever the fuck we wanted!

You know people kill for this.

My father must have recognised himself in you.

Your filthy greed. — fuck you.

If you want to take his place

you're gonna need to be good at more than just numbers.

If you do this, Alex...

You'll never come back from it.

I promise you.

No one else knows you like I do.

The shit we've survived.

There's no one on the planet like us.

No.

Sean: No one. — gun cocks

Sean: If you kill me, Alex...

You'll be alone.

You know that, don't you?

You think you can do it?

You're not an evil bastard like your dad.

Shut up. — how many has he killed?

Fucking gravedigger.

We're nothing like our fathers, Alex.

It doesn't fucking matter now, does it?

Cos I don't have a choice.

Yes...

You do. — you took it away from me.

No, you have a choice.

You're the smartest person in the room.

Cleverest man I know.

We can work this out, Alex.

It's me and you.

Think about it. I mean...

Really think about it.

I have thought about it.

I fucking love you, Alex. — shut the fuck up!
