Original subtitles

What's Ros's status?

She's inside, posing as part of Ashenden's security.

What about the bug?

She's just about to drop it in.

Heading for the main meeting room.

I was told the Bendorf Group was just a conspiracy theory.

Not only does it exist,

its meetings dictate policy

to half the governments on the planet.

Including ours?

Between them, the eight members of the Bendorf group

control 75% of the world's natural resources.

I don't think any of our votes can compete with that.

I was thinking maybe I go to law school or something.

I have to say I'm surprised, Nina,

you wanting a desk job, working for me.

As I said, uncle, people change.

Your father would be proud.

Well, I think it's for me.

I said to my friends to pick me up here.

It could be my driver, Nina.

I'm nearly ready.

Yes, it's for me.

Mr. Gevitsky.

Can I call you Leon?

Is it "Lay-on" or "Lee-on"?

- Nina! - Relax, Leon.

Just think of this as a chance

to get to know your little niece a bit better.

Go, go.

Go, get up.

Any news of Leon?

He should be here shortly.

Bug in place.

Is it working?

Clear as a bell.

Keep me updated.

I know we've all been hit by the recession,

but the world- - Public may not like it,

but you can't have a global economy without leadership.

Ros, what's going on?

We have a security breach.

At least five of them, heavily armed.

Everybody, down on your knees!

On your knees!

On your knees, I said everybody.

I'm going in, I'm losing comms.

Harry.

Gunmen have stormed the Bendorf.

Ros has cut contact.

Get her back on the line.

Come, come, come.

Stop.

Come on.

Anything?

She's gone.

Shall I call back-up?

We can't.

Officially, this meeting doesn't exist.

Check everywhere.

Make sure we haven't missed anyone, okay?

Come, come.

Get Lucas and Jo over there.

Lucas, we need you on the ground.

Code alert red.

Down on the floor against that wall.

The first one, come.

What the hell is this place?

Panic room.

Come on, sit, sit.

Down, sit!

Rudy, the lift.

It's manually controlled.

There's no override.

Now, the only way anyone

can get down here is if we let them.

You can thank your dear host

and his pathetic paranoia which led into getting

this splendid bunker put in place.

Not exactly what you had in mind when you had it built, huh?

What do you want?

Why don't we make ourselves comfortable, hmm?

And play a round of Who Doesn't Want

To Be A Dead Billionaire?

Must be there somewhere.

Pull up all traffic camera footage from around the building.

Jo.

Yeah, well, find me the Home Secretary

and tell him I'd like to speak to him urgently.

Tariq, give me the plans of this building.

I'm on it.

Whatever ransom they guys ask for

is going to make winning the lottery look like small change.

We need to find out who they are.

You're all flustered.

Yes, well, that happens sometimes,

such as when a group of armed thugs

kidnap eight of the wealthiest

and most politically powerful men on the planet.

And on my first day back, too, Harry.

Either that or a basket of muffins.

No, you really shouldn't have.

Someone's grabbed the Bendorf Group?

Yes.

They've also got Ros.

- Is she all right? - We've no idea.

We don't even know where they are.

Harry.

These are the floor plans for Ashenden's house.

Look at this here, there's no tunnel going anywhere.

Just this big space here.

I think he's got himself

some kind of underground rumpus room.

Rumpus room?

Panic room.

An underground bunker.

That must be where they're holding them.

Get the plans to Lucas and Jo.

If Ros is down there, she's without comms or support.

- Who else knows? - Just us.

Good, 'cause once this gets out,

you're gonna get a lot of angry calls

from some very powerful people.

You come with me.

Take a seat.

Open it.

Welcome back to the world of the living.

It's a bit odd being back here.

After everything that's happened.

Yes, madam, I'm sorry.

I hadn't intended this to happen on your first day.

But Ros?

Ros wasn't put in there because of any perceived threat.

We had no idea anything was in the offing.

I sent her in there because of something

the Home Secretary asked me to look into, quietly.

Which is?

Some rumblings he heard from an American contact.

Dangerous rumblings.

A high-powered meeting in Switzerland,

talk of the need for change.

Change can be good.

Not this change.

I thought the Bendorf Group might be involved.

- Hence Ros? - Hence Ros.

Although she has no idea of the exact reason

she was put in there, as does no one else does.

Except you.

I'm gonna need you today, Ruth.

I damn well hope so.

The fun begins.

Harry.

Home Secretary, we have a situation

with the Bendorf Group.

What do you mean a situation?

They've been taken hostage by armed terrorists.

What, all of them?

We believe so, yes.

Ros Myers is with them.

You do realize who we're dealing with?

Those men have the power to influence political decisions

that can affect every person in the country.

We're doing everything we can.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

You'll get your chance, Ninotchka.

I don't know how much they're paying you to do this,

but look around you.

Whatever you're getting, we can do much better.

We can double it, triple it.

Watch and learn, Leon.

Today, you will see the true cost

and the true value of money.

The world is changing.

We're not all for sale any more.

Some of us have woken up.

Rudy, how are we doing? - Almost ready.

Tell me about this lift.

It goes 15 meters down into a panic room,

which is sealed in reinforced concrete.

It's the only way to know.

All right, well, we need to know who's in that panic room.

Get Harry to authorize a satellite

thermal sweep of the building.

Tariq, there's got to be a phone down there somewhere

for them to call out some kind of emergency secure line.

Tariq's running a GPS on the telecoms.

It'll pick up every line within 100 yards.

Let's get set up.

Yeah? - Hey.

You left early.

Well, you know how it is.

Evil masterminds to defeat.

Shame.

I was hoping you could come play hooky with me.

Listen, maybe now's not the time.

Why, what's going on?

Got to go.

So the thermal image should tell us who's alive.

Well, we know there are eight Bendorf members,

there's Ros, the security staff.

There's at least 25 people down there.

What are they doing?

Tariq, can you enhance screen right?

Looks like they're drilling something

into the structural columns.

They're rigging the building with explosives.

Harry, I've managed to break the encryption

around Ashenden's CCTV.

The footage shows who arrived for the meeting.

It's BS Cheng, China's $60 billion man.

Then we get Simeon Tarasovich, Russian steel magnate.

Thomas Mickelson. - Ah, yes, New York's finest.

Big player in oil and gas.

Are all eight members of the Bendorf accounted for?

Yes, Gevitsky was the last to arrive.

Do we know how the terrorists got in?

Yeah, through Gevitsky.

More specifically, his niece, Nina.

What about the others?

I've ID'd the leader is Finn Lambert, 32, French.

He doesn't care if we see who he is or not.

Never a good sign.

Lambert's been a part for years as a political activist,

cautioned at the G20 protest, arrested last year

for vandalizing the property of a disgraced banker.

An regular anti-capitalist crusader then?

No, he's more than that.

His parents were involved with a French

left-wing terror group called Action Directe.

He's been going to protest since he was in nappies.

At 17, he won scholarships to Oxford and the Sorbonne.

But he was thrown off every course

for arguing with his teachers.

What about his sidekicks?

The guy with the heavy arms is Rudy Korn.

He's a prodigy.

Won gold at the Moscow Maths Olympiad two years ago.

He and Lambert have been inseparable since university.

We're running checks on the others.

Lambert may be bright, but it doesn't explain how he went

from small-time protestor

to storming the Bendorf in under a year.

What about the room?

Only one way in - the lift,

which they've disabled and they control from the inside.

They didn't skimp on the specs, carbon fiber the doors,

reinforced spring and rock solid.

The walls?

16 inches of reinforced concrete all around.

Them in one of those big walk-in safes in a Swiss bank.

That's what we're dealing with.

Hang on, the phone line in the bank,

we have the phone number.

My name is Simon Rose.

I'm authorized to speak to you

on behalf of the British government.

What do you want?

How do you know we want anything?

You're holding innocent people down there.

I'm guessing it's not a slumber party.

Innocent?

Is that what you would call them?

What would you call them?

Have you ever heard of a village in Somalia

called Marwandjama?

No, I haven't.

That's a shame.

Because a year ago, 280 people died there,

because someone in this room decided that their lives

were worth less than it cost

to build a waste treatment plant

at his refinery upriver from it.

You call that innocent?

I'm sure it's more complicated than that.

No, it's simple.

1% of the world's population controls 95% of its wealth.

And for 40 years, nobody's had the balls

to do anything about it.

Why don't you tell me what you want?

Maybe some pizzas later.

In the meantime, if we need anything,

you'll be the first to know.

We're good to go.

Mr. Mickelson.

If you would like to join us, please.

Harry, some of the blogs we've been monitoring,

protest blogs, anti-globalization rights,

you know this spec, they've been going haywire

the last 10 minutes.

Saying what?

Something about staying tuned for a major in it.

Hold on, there's another one.

It's directing traffic to a website.

Okay.

Not exactly Facebook numbers, but impressive, nevertheless.

Everyone's posting links,

and they all connect to the same webcast.

Okay, it's loading.

Okay.

A lot of you will be familiar with this gentleman.

Our first guest - Thomas Mickelson.

Born 17th November, 1951 in Brighton, New York.

Graduated from Yale, summa cum laude, 1972.

Followed by an MBA from Wharton three years later.

Currently ranked by Forbes as number 23

on the world's rich list.

What the hell are they doing?

They're putting him on trial, Harry.

With the whole world watching.

Can you stop this?

I'm still trying to figure out how they're doing it.

Can't you disable them?

These guys are smart.

They're server jumping.

They set up thousands of mirror websites around the globe

using hundreds of different servers.

Every time you shut down one IP address,

the website's already using another.

Surely, we can just shut down all the servers involved.

They're shuttling the connection five times a second.

You need to close down the worldwide web.

I didn't even think it was possible on that scale.

But Mr. Mickelson's boys' toys

and other trappings of ultra-wealth

are not what we are here to talk about.

No.

We are more interested in how Mr. Mickelson makes the money

to keep himself so amused and what the consequences

of his actions are on the mere mortals of this world.

Shall we begin?

How about we start with cobalt mining and its role

in keeping the murderous civil war raging in Central Africa,

causing the deaths of hundreds and thousands

of innocent civilians

and your company's relationship to a militia,

which goes by the very deceptive moniker

of the Free Africa Militia?

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

I don't have any relationship with these people.

Tommy, Tommy, Tommy.

Are you really going to do that, hm?

Are you really going to lie through your teeth

with all these thousands of people watching?

Wait - don't answer that.

Have a look at Exhibit A.

These reports from human rights groups,

and this one from UNIFIL's

regional director for Central Africa.

And these?

Internal emails from executives in your company that...

Ooh.

Leave very little to the imagination.

For those of you watching,

the links that are now on your screen

will take you to where you can download these documents

and more for you to read for yourselves.

So what do you say, Tommy boy?

Hm?

Do you wanna take another stab at answering my question?

I'm a businessman

operating in an unstable region.

My company run development and education programs.

We have an outstanding record sheltering civilians

from the worst of local conflicts.

We are part of the solution.

Bullshit.

Not all of the documents are coming through.

Heavy traffic.

A lot of people want to see them.

They've got ahold of emails

between Mickelson and the U.S. State Department.

There's one here practically authorizing Mickelson

to back a coup in Central Africa.

I mean, who the hell could have got Lambert

that kind of information? - I don't know.

But I wouldn't wanna be inside CIA headquarters

when the calls come in from the White House.

I thought you should know

the whole of Washington is ground to a halt.

Everybody is watching.

The president has ordered me

to work with you in stopping this.

We're already doing everything we can.

You'll see me in five minutes.

Home Secretary.

We have to find a way to end this, eh?

This is a highly sophisticated act of terrorism.

I know, but you need to end it now.

I've had a call from the CIA.

They know it's happening on British soil.

Every skeleton in the Pentagon's cupboard is being exhumed

and paraded for public consumption.

We can't take the rap for that.

I understand.

Why don't we move on to another one

of your little ventures,

one in which your very generous involvement

is not something that you'd want advertised?

I'm talking about the Foundation For A Greener Planet.

It's kind of bizarre that it's being funded by you,

considering he's one of the world's biggest

oil and gas barons.

But the name doesn't quite reflect

what your little foundation does, does it?

Does it?

The Foundation For A Greener Planet

is committed to clarifying the debate on climate change.

Your group pumps out disinformation

that discredits global warming

and does everything it can to frame it

as theory rather than fact?

It is.

It is a theory.

Not that long ago, people were saying

we're heading for another ice age.

Climate change is going to cost millions of lives.

And all you can think about is money?

Can you not see the obscenity of this, huh?

I checked the immigration databases.

- And? - Lambert has been

out of the country a lot over this year.

Most notably, too long stints in Russia.

Well, not surprisingly, the trail ends,

thanks to a spectacularly unhelpful FSB.

Not an unusual pilgrimage for an aspiring Bolshevik.

- No, he flew first class. - Ah.

So these are the antics of a rebel trustafarian?

He doesn't have a penny to his name.

- Then what? - A benefactor.

An offshore company, of course.

Of course.

But the lawyer who set it up is based here.

Look into it.

So there you have it.

The case for the prosecution,

the life and times of a modern-day robber baron

laid out in all its glory.

Does the defendant have anything to add?

This is insane.

What about our malaria immunization programs?

All the work we've been doing

getting antivirals to the population?

You know how much money we lose

by subsidizing the drugs we hand out over there?

Just because you help an old lady to cross the road

does not give you the right

to go out and rape somebody else.

You have heard our evidence,

and Mr. Mickelson has given his point of view.

It is now for you to decide

whether this man is innocent or if he is guilty

of mass murder, of profiteering,

of basically trampling over everything

and anyone that gets in the way

of his insatiable desire for power and money.

There should be two voting buttons

appearing on your screen right now.

One says guilty, the other not guilty.

You have 20 minutes to review the evidence

and cast your vote.

You can be the jury for once.

My God, they're doing it.

People are actually voting.

If we can't stop this,

can we at least hack in and change the outcome?

The voting software is virus protected.

Every time I try to intercept,

it fires off a shutdown code to my terminal.

If that gets into my hard drive,

it could destroy the MI-5 mainframe.

Okay.

we have some early figures coming in.

Guilty, 2,153.

Not guilty, 174.

Guilty, 3,892.

Not guilty, 984.

Guilty, 17,341.

Not guilty, 4,015.

Guilty, 42,191.

Not guilty, 7,280.

Okay, final figures.

The polls are closed.

Guilty, 98,327.

What's this, what you call justice?

You sit, shut up!

Sit down and be quiet!

The people have spoken.

It only remains for me to pass sentence.

Don't.

Please don't do this.

The choice...

Your fate is in your hands.

Lying, denying what we can prove

will not help your cause.

Tell the truth, on the other hand,

apologise, lay it all out plain and use this camera

as your confession booth.

And maybe, just maybe these good people out there

will see fit...

fit to forgive.

Don't.

Please don't do this.

They're going to kill them all.

I don't want this turning into even more

of a media frenzy than it already is.

The fact that this is taking place in London

hasn't been made public yet, has it?

No, but the press will figure it out

before the next trial kicks off.

What are you doing to stop this?

The situation is delicate.

The group have explosives.

What are you doing to stop it?

We have an officer inside.

And?

Do you realize how this is going down?

The anti-American lobby is dancing a jig.

U.S. policy in Africa is in tatters.

Our administration has been doing everything possible

to improve America's reputation.

And this is dragging us right back into-

With respect!

We had nothing to do with creating this situation

or the documents this group are exposed to.

I don't give a shit.

It's happening on your patch.

And if you're not competent enough to deal with it, we will.

You didn't expect it to feel like that, did you?

You don't know what I was expecting.

Who's Gevitsky, Nina?

Is he your uncle?

My uncle will be fine.

Nothing will happen to him

as long as he tells the truth.

Right.

You really believe that?

Yes.

I know it.

Just like you know you were delivering

justice on Thomas Mickelson?

Lambert says Thomas Mickelson

had more blood on his hands than Idi Amin.

He wiped out whole villages

whenever it suited his interests.

He deserved to die.

But what about my colleagues outside?

Those bodies that you stepped over to get in here?

They were protecting a corrupt elite.

Two of those bodyguards had children, Nina.

The Bendorf Group have caused misery on a global scale.

Because your courts and your governments are so weak,

so easily bribed, so feeble, we have had to act.

You keep telling yourself that, Nina.

- Home Secretary. - Talk to me, Harry.

We've made a breakthrough,

something which may help us shut this down.

The next trial is about to begin.

We can't allow it to go ahead.

What are you saying?

What do you think?

Storming would be suicide.

I won't do it.

I'm ordering you to do it.

There is one entrance.

It's a lift shaft.

The room is rigged with explosives.

If we go in, it'll be a blood bath.

And I've got Ros Meyers in there.

I'm sorry, Harry, this is hard for everyone.

But if you won't order it, I will do it myself.

Goodbye.

They're never gonna let us get out of here alive now.

Here, if they storm the bunker,

one click and we all go up together.

Let's just get through the next few trials.

And the whole planet will be watching.

They'll have to do whatever we ask.

We're making history, Rudy.

Just like we said we would.

Don't forget that.

My boss has spoken to the Home Secretary.

Everybody agrees you have no choice

but to storm that building.

If we do that, everyone dies.

The only way to stop this is to get to Lambert's backers.

But even if I knew, I don't think this is the time

to be following the money trail.

And I don't have the authorization to give up assets.

Everyone seems very concerned with the Bendorf Group,

but not about getting them out alive.

If those trials aren't crushed, Harry,

it's gonna be like a green light

to every wannabe Che Guevara out there.

It will be like '68 all over again,

except this time, the radicals have had a 10-year

masterclass from al-Qaeda on how terror really works.

We have the money trail.

We know Lambert is connected to this lawyer Benson

who doesn't seem to do much lawyering.

And if we can come up with this much information

in such a short time, I shudder to think

what the combined results of the world's media

will find once we tip them off about Benson.

Are you blackmailing us?

- Ruth. - Sure.

Wait.

Tim Benson's a corrupt lawyer.

I think we deduced that.

- He has one client. - Who?

This guy's really important to us, Harry.

He's a major European asset.

He's also our only chance

in making sure no one else dies.

His name's Vadim Robinov.

Thank you.

Harry?

Lambert is backed by Vadim Robinov.

Robinov.

So what's a billionaire oligarch

doing in league with a Marxist revolutionary like Lambert?

I don't know, but you need to find out.

What, now?

This is our last chance, Lucas. Time's running out.

- Go. - I'm on my way.

Why would Robinov fund Lambert?

To wipe out the competition?

Man's already worth more than 20 billion.

What if Robinov wasn't just out

to grab some other oligarch's oil fields?

What if he was after something much bigger?

- Explain. - If Lambert can make Gevitsky

and Tarasovich spill their guts,

embarrass their patrons like this-

It could cause a popular backlash in Russia

and even help bring down the government.

Do you think Lambert's idealistic crew

know what this is really about?

I doubt it.

But if they did, if they knew they were being played-

They might turn against Lambert.

How do we get this information to Ros?

It would have to come straight from the horse's mouth.

We've no time for subtlety here, Ruth.

Speak to Jo and tell her the situation.

CO19 have arrived.

They're preparing to move in.

But what about Ros?

She's still down there, Ruth.

So.

What does everyone think?

Shall our good host go next?

Hmm?

Or maybe your uncle has a few things to get off his chest.

That okay with you?

Fine.

What do you say, Leon?

Do you want to try your luck?

Wait, Finn, Finn.

Stick to the original plan.

You, up.

Sit, sit!

You'd had your say.

Stop staring at me.

Where does a group of revolutionaries

get the money to pay for all these guns and explosives?

Stop asking questions.

Where do they get the money?

One more word and I will tell Finn to shoot you

and throw you down beside Mickelson.

It'll be your uncle next, Nina.

So?

He's just like the rest of them.

What are you gonna do when they're all dead?

It's not going to happen.

Nina?

Don't let Finn make you do something

you'll regret for the rest of your life.

You're very pretty.

You really don't speak Russian?

Harry, I'm in Robinov's.

This is our last chance, Lucas.

The next trial is starting.

Hey!

Who the hell are you?

I said who are you?

Tell me about Bendorf Group and Finn Lambert.

Stop.

Why are you backing him?

I don't know who you mean.

All right, all right, I'll tell you.

We have a mutual interest. - In what?

Change!

Gevitsky, Tarasovich.

They are a virus destroying Russia from the inside.

You wanna take him out so you can scramble

a few more feet of the greasy pole.

No, this is about progress.

Democratization.

What about Lambert?

All right!

I met him at a political seminar in Moscow.

We disagreed about what should happen afterwards,

but we both knew the old guard had to go.

How convenient for you.

No, for just making money,

it's better that things stayed the same.

But I know someone needs to do something.

Anyone can see the mess our world is in.

You really think the man who created it

should stay in charge?

I don't think a Baader Meinhof groupie

waving around the AKU game for Christmas

is gonna change anything.

Do not underestimate Finn Lambert.

He will not be stopped.

Well, let's put that to the test, shall we?

No, please, please.

You set him up.

You can call him off.

Tariq?

I'm with Robinov.

Patch me through to Lambert.

- Speak. - Finn, it's me.

What do you want?

I've been watching what you've been doing.

It's excellent work. - What are you talking about?

We've only just started.

You've sent a message the whole world has seen.

Now, I want to rethink the rest of our plan.

I can help to get you out of there.

D'accord.

Who put you up to this, Vadim, huh?

MI-5?

I funded you!

I backed you, Finn.

Now, I'm ordering you to stop.

You can tell them we will not stop.

Tell them CO19 are gonna storm the place

and everyone will die.

Listen to me, Finn.

I've been warned that there are armed

stormtroopers above ground.

Unless you back down now,

everyone in that bunker will be killed.

Are you listening to me?

This is your last chance to get out of there alive.

Tant pis.

- What? - Who was that?

What did they want?

They're scared.

They know we will never stop.

Are we ready? - Yeah, go.

We will be moving a little more swiftly

through these trials.

So Robin, I know that I talk for a lot of people

when I say I'm in awe of your business matters.

Home Secretary.

I'm calling as a courtesy

to inform you I have personally ordered

CO19 to storm the bunker.

You're signing the death warrant of everyone in there.

I have no choice, Harry.

Huge chunks of the South American rainforests bulldozed.

Thousands of indigenous tribespeople

forced into shanty towns.

Even the murder of troublesome activists.

Tell me.

Why do you even deserve a proper trial?

You seem reticent, Sir Robin.

You should know that people usually take silence

as an admission of guilt.

I may not have a perfect record,

but I will not dignify

your repulsive bullying with an answer.

How noble.

Now, why don't we try again?

Something more simple.

Did you or did you not personally finance

the imprisonment and the assassination of people

who obstructed your business interest in South America?

You don't frighten me.

Now, Sir Robert, here's your final chance

to defend yourself.

It seems that your allotted time has elapsed.

- Jesus, Finn! - What?

Justice.

That is what you said.

Not murder.

This is the only justice that these people deserve.

Are you going to stand in its way?

No, no, no, no.

Harry, Robinov's lost control of Lambert.

The comms are down.

Harry, it's over.

They're preparing to move in.

Nina.

Nina, he is insane.

He's gonna do the same thing to every single person here.

You have to help me.

What can I do?

You have to help me.

- No, I can't. - Re-activate the lift.

Do it, do it!

Wait.

Something's happening to the lift.

The lift's working.

This is our chance.

Jo, go in there.

Tell them what we know.

Try to turn Lambert's group against him

before he blows the whole place up and everyone with it.

I'm moving in.

It is my unfortunate responsibility

to pass sentence on your crimes.

And as you know, the sentence is death.

Stop!

Nina!

This isn't right.

You activated the lift.

Ninotchka.

Don't shoot, don't shoot.

I'm unarmed, I'm unarmed.

Finn's been working with Robinov from the start.

All the money, all the planning came from him.

Tell me that's not true.

Finn!

We have to fund this somehow.

We made it here.

We made it in here, didn't we?

Finn, how could you?

He's worse than they are, Robinov.

We are using him to do what we want.

We can still do this.

No, we can't.

No, that's it.

We're done, it's over.

Thank you.

Harry?
