Original subtitles

Okay. Mind your fingers.

Just like before, now.

What you looking at?

What are we gonna do today?

Make yourself useful, and give it some thought.

Checkmate.

Okay.

Leave the crate and come straight back.

The weather looks like it's picking up.

Don't come up here again.

Most people just say thank you.

It's very important that you listen.

Don't ever come up here again.

You know, me and my uncle come up here

week after week, bringing you supplies,

and yet you never even come down to greet us.

Why is that?

I'm not afraid of you!

Message to all vessels.

Gale force winds are in serious effect across the coast.

Jessie, come on!

New storm formed now heading towards the Hebrides.

Don't give me that look.

Jessie!

Come on!

Papa!

Come on!

Urgh!

Jessie!

Uh argh!

Where's my uncle?

Where's my uncle?!

He's dead.

The trawler went down.

He was trapped.

Agh!

Agh!

We need to get the swelling down.

Why haven't you called anyone about what happened?

Not even the police?

Who else knows we're here?

No one?

Just rest.

You have to take me back. You can't just keep me here.

I I mean, I I don't even understand why you're here.

My uncle told me that this lighthouse

hasn't been working in years.

Yet you never leave here. Why?

My family will be looking for me.

You don't have a family.

Your mother died a few years back.

Never knew your father.

Your uncle's taken care of you ever since.

Because there was no one else.

How do you know that?

Well, someone will come looking.

Will they?

There's nothing here for anyone.

It's just a dream.

It's just a dream.

I know you're scared.

And in a lot of pain.

When you use a weapon,

you never operate from fear.

Always balance your emotions.

Keep your wits.

Hold it like this.

Your thumb up against the hilt.

Tight in the palm.

Hold it up.

Good.

That's a strong grip.

Good.

I'm gonna look at your ankle.

Come on.

How did you know my uncle?

We served together.

In the Royal Marines.

He never told me your name.

What is it?

Would it make a difference if you knew it?

Well, I'd at least know what to call you.

We're doing okay so far.

Well, at least tell me your dog's name, then.

He doesn't have one.

What?

That's crazy.

Your dog doesn't even have a name?

Well

I'm going to call him

Jack.

Right, Jack? Come. Hey.

Jack.

He likes the name Jack.

Jack.

Black Queen to F2.

Check.

You didn't tell me you could play chess.

You never asked.

Looks like I've got myself a worthy opponent.

It's infected.

Can't we just go to a hospital? No.

No.

I'll get what's needed.

Ten years ago, the Prime Minister

assured this committee and the nation

that her government, I quote

Was not and would not ever collect data

on British citizens.

And yet, thanks to the recent hack into MI6's servers,

we have now learned that not only has MI6

been systematically harvesting the personal information,

calls, emails, and voting patterns

of the British population,

but has been doing so in order to create an intelligence

supersystem.

An advanced surveillance network

called Total Human Engagement Analytics,

or more affectionately, THEA.

Some of the details are, of course, classified.

The essence of THEA is to make betterinformed decisions,

to anticipate threats more effectively.

What you've been doing is unlawfully invading the life

of every person in this country.

If they're innocent, they have nothing to hide.

Since THEA went online,

MI6 have intercepted threats at a rate never before imagined.

Perhaps you could simply say thank you.

Let me be clear on how this ends.

With you and Prime Minister Fordham under investigation,

and THEA dismantled.

Haneron was grandstanding, Prime Minister.

We both know the whole thing's a circus,

just without the entertainment value.

Haneron is gaining traction in this election.

And this leak

it's a national embarrassment.

We're gonna have to steady the ship.

You need a sacrificial lamb.

Let's face it, Stephen.

You're probably the best spymaster

this country has ever produced.

But you are a hopeless bureaucrat.

We all have our shortcomings, Prime Minister.

The tape's stopped.

It's just the two of us now.

I think this could be a blessing.

Really?

To get you back into the shadows where you belong.

Could be our little secret.

Indeed, ma'am.

Roberta Frost, your number two,

she'll take over as head of MI6

as an interim appointment,

and then after the election,

I'll appoint somebody more appropriate.

Roberta's a good choice.

She's a good team player. And we don't want any outsiders.

Exactly.

Enjoy your retirement.

Thank you, Prime Minister.

How old is she?

About there.

like I said we were supposed to go in the first place,

but I thought we were gonna go bowling instead.

That's a bit more fun, no?

We always go

like I said we were supposed to go in the first place,

but I thought we were gonna go bowling instead.

That's a bit more fun, no?

High priority THEA alert.

We have a retinal match.

Timur Tchermoev.

He's a highvalue target, wanted for the bombing

of our embassy in Algeria.

His file is filled with similar atrocities.

Location?

Stornoway. Outer Hebrides, Scotland.

Repositioning satellites now.

Who's our nearest assault team?

Alpha.

Send them.

Okay.

Let the medicine do its work.

That should be as good as new.

Thank you for the sweets, by the way.

I got these.

I hope they're okay. It's the best I could do.

I like them.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Mm.

Smells good.

So much better than porridge.

That, young lady, is a matter of opinion.

What?

What's happening?

Get in the bathroom.

Lock the door.

Don't make a sound.

Don't come out until I come for you.

Do it, Jessie.

Stay.

Weapons free. Kill target on sight.

Agh

Argh

Find this fucker.

Spread out. Box him in.

Drop it! Jesus Christ!

I've found the girl. Extracting her now.

Jack!

Argh!

Aaargh! Argh!

Let me go!

Argh!

Who is that? Who?

Who who are these guys?

Who yeah, who are?

I need you to wait here.

Nothing's gonna happen.

I'm coming right back.

But but where are you going?

Sorry, old boy.

I'm off the reservation. With baggage.

Okay, I'll be there.

It's time to leave.

But wwhat about Jack?

Come on.

Wha what? What?

Jack? No, no!

Jack?

Come on, we need to leave.

Alpha team, come in.

They're all gone.

Who the hell is this guy?

Whoever he is, he's not Tchermoev.

Who's our nearest tierone asset?

Workman.

Activate him.

And notify all QRF teams in the region to be on standby.

Find out who that girl is.

Come on!

You're hurt! I'll be fine.

But but you're bleeding.

Come on.

Stay behind me.

I need to check something. Wait here.

I need to go inside.

Get the keys.

You mean steal them?

Hey, I need you to wait here.

Ever use a gun?

I shot squirrels with my uncle's air rifle.

Good enough. Hold this.

One hand there, and one there.

Hold it tight against your body.

Keep the barrel pointed to the dirt.

Keep your finger off the trigger.

It's sensitive.

Get your back against the fence.

Hey, hey.

That's as far as you go.

Put it down.

Please.

Whoa!

Let's let's go slow, hey?

He's hurt. Can you help him?

What am I looking at?

Timur Tchermoev. His profile's been altered.

See here?

The code's been manipulated to hide someone else.

So, when a camera captures the real person

Mmhmm.

it misidentifies him as Tchermoev.

It's very sophisticated stuff.

Whoever did this used selfdeleting code.

That's our guy.

Michael Mason.

He's one of ours?

Yeah.

But there aren't many details.

He he was orphaned.

Former SBS operator.

K.I.A. ten years ago.

Apparently not.

Why would someone want to frame one of our own to be targeted?

I don't know.

Whoa.

I I just tried to access his mission logs from Poole,

and I got this.

Okay, keep digging.

There's a man and a girl in our house.

Oh, the ops room just intercepted a 999 call

from a farm in Scotland, matching Mason and our girl.

Call the ops room. Let them know I'm on my way.

We're all good, sir. Thank you, Ross.

Shit.

They have guns. Please help.

They're holding my father.

Our target is not who we thought.

His name is Michael Mason.

I want him caught and brought in for questioning.

Where's my asset? Workman's en route.

Please, please help.

Workman.

Good.

Fuck you, Mason.

I'm I'm not sure how good this will hold.

I've only stitched goats and sheep.

I'm sure it's good.

Thanks.

We'll get out of your hair. Okay.

I'm gonna need your truck.

Keys are by the front door.

Go grab them, start it up.

I don't want you to hurt them.

I'm not gonna hurt them. Okay?

Where's your son?

Callum!

Callum!

Did you just go do something?

Callum?

I called the police.

Let's move.

Come.

Sit there. Don't move.

Local authorities are responding

to a home invasion at the farm.

Well, tell them not to engage.

Hold a perimeter.

Do not engage. I repeat do not engage!

We have personnel en route.

Police! Are they going to arrest you?

It's not the police I'm worried about.

This way. Go, go, go.

Hey, hey, wait. Don't open the door!

I live here

Find out where those shots came from!

I'm sorry.

You need to stay here.

Come on.

He's inside!

Police!

Argh!

Put the weapon down!

Drop the weapon!

Agh! Argh! Ugh! Urgh

Come on.

Huh, uh!

Hey, police. Stop!

Aargh! Drop the weapon!

One to echo. We have multiple men down.

They're rolling out.

Hold your ground

Get in the back. Keep your head down.

Get on Mason!

Patch me through to Workman!

He's turned off his comms.

What the fuck is going on?

Stay down and hold on.

Bravo twoone, we need backup immediately!

Ah! Uh

Agh!

Ugh!

We're switching cars.

Let's go.

Excuse me.

Are you okay?

Sir, stand still

Hello, Roberta.

You calling to rub salt in the wound?

Hardly, sir.

For what it's worth, I think the Prime Minister

sacking you was a grave misstep.

Flattery will get you everywhere.

How can I help you?

Does the name Michael Mason ring any bells?

Where did you hear that name?

He took down a full assault team

alone.

What I'm about to say doesn't exist

outside of this conversation.

Years ago, we ran an offbook program

of elite operatives called Black Kites.

Operatives untethered from MI6's oversight.

And Mason was one of them.

Yeah. He was one of the first.

He was a prodigy. He became our gold standard.

Then what happened?

He was sent to eliminate

a foreign intelligence officer.

Instead, he spared the target,

falsified his report, and then disappeared.

Why would he defy orders?

We think he was turned.

I'm sure for a king's ransom.

You need to understand something.

Mason isn't just an assassin.

He's a precision instrument.

There's no stopping him.

You need to throw everything you've got at him, Roberta.

Michael Mason unfortunately

has become a cancer on all that we stand for.

Yes, sir.

Ready to put your trade craft to the test?

Am I gonna get fired for this?

Not unless I do.

I found the Black Kite files on a backup server.

Mason was helping an Iranian scientist defect

after he gave us everything on their nuclear program.

Instead of protecting him,

Mason was ordered to kill him for deniability.

It looks like he refused.

Good girl, Maddie.

Damn it, Roberta.

Some people just can't help themselves.

You okay?

You think I can't handle the truth

about who you really are, but I can.

Well do you have family somewhere?

No.

You never wanted one?

A wife, kids?

It complicates things.

I'd rather it be complicated, then.

And have my mum back.

My uncle too.

Now I have no one.

I wish I could tell you life would always be fair.

But you already know the truth to that.

No kid should have to go through what you did.

Just don't ever let it break your spirit.

No matter what.

Okay?

Here.

At least you had Jack.

He was your family.

Better you keep it.

Okay, there's a camera up on the wall in front of us.

There's also one behind us.

I want you to get out on my side,

keep your head down and keep it forward.

So, when did you find religion?

Today

when a ghost called me.

Oh, we have different interpretations

of what baggage means.

Just saying.

Uh, no, that's the workshop. Um

I'm always building one thing or another.

Just be careful, though, there's lots of tools about.

Uh, Jessie?

Why don't you go get a drink?

The kitchen's in the back.

If you want me to leave so you guys can talk,

you can just say that.

Hey, hey

It's okay.

Spirited girl.

Who is she? What are you doing here?

Her uncle and I, we served together.

I need a way out for her.

Then I'll start figuring out how they found me.

Don't tell me you've got sentimental in your old age?

She's just a kid

who was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Christ, Mason

Meet THEA.

I helped build it before I left the circus.

The big question is

how the hell did they find you after I buried you?

Shit.

When it was time for you to disappear, I

I changed your identity to an oil worker in Aberdeen.

A nobody. But someone figured it out,

and swapped it to this guy.

A highvalue terrorist on the watch list.

Which you know carries an interagency kill order.

Manafort.

You you really think he still wants you dead

after all this time?

I broke the only rule that matters to him.

Fuck his rules.

You refused to kill an innocent man,

that you promised to help after he helped us.

Can you shut it down?

Not from here.

I mean, it wouldn't matter anyway. You've been ID'd.

All those years on that island.

You should have stayed dead, Mason.

Yeah, that's my problem.

I just need you to keep Jessie safe.

Manafort knows who she is now

which makes her a loose end.

You care about her, don't you?

This is where we part ways.

Can you keep her here?

Look, Mason, I I can't.

Why?

He has cancer.

My mum took the same meds before she

I'm sorry I'm such a drag to you.

Hey, Jessie, wait.

Is she right?

Doctors say I might get one more Christmas.

Oh, Jesus.

I'd help you if I could.

But you know I can't be responsible for her.

My hands are tied.

What if I go to Kamal?

He has the means to get her out

undetected. Kamal Shah?

No. No, no, no way.

Not an option! Hey, look.

He's the best at what he does.

Yeah, because he's a violent trafficker.

And you haven't got MI6 behind you to control him now.

Let me worry about that.

Just help me get to him.

Can you do that?

Listen, I I can tell you when to turn left or right.

That's about it.

Good enough.

Hey, Jessie. It's time to go.

Hey, Jessie, come on.

Were you really gonna leave me here?

I'm sorry.

Your safety is the most important thing to me.

Please.

Fine.

Go stand by the wall. But

Just do it! Stand by the wall.

Jesus!

Hurgh!

Aaargh!

Urgh! Argh!

Ooh!

Argh!

Let him go.

Just let him go.

Argh!

Come on!

Get here in now, go! Go, go, get in!

Jesus!

Who was that?

Him.

20 years ago.

Ross?

We're doubling down, get your team ready.

Yes, sir.

The WiFi in there will suffice for my needs.

Here, take my hat and coat.

Help you hide those good looks.

Right.

Use only for an emergency,

or you know they'll trace you in a heartbeat.

Yeah, we're gonna have to switch motors.

They know we're in this one now.

You take care, young lady.

Thank you.

I wish you'd killed that man.

I know it's wrong to say that, but

Maybe I'm becoming like you.

You're nothing like me, Jessie.

And I'm keeping it that way.

But how do you know?

Because I've seen who you really are.

Look by tonight, all of this will be behind you.

You'll start a brandnew life

somewhere normal, somewhere safe.

And alone.

What will you do?

You can't go back to your island.

There's always another island.

I could come with you.

You don't want this life.

Always on the run, looking over your shoulder

And you do?

Hey, Jessie, you need to understand.

The only way that I can protect you

is to stop the people that are doing this.

You need to stay close to me, all right?

Any sign of Mason?

No. We have nothing.

He knows what he's doing.

You're right.

I found an unknown login to THEA from outside MI6.

I have a bad feeling.

Can you ID?

No.

There is there is something I can try.

Whatever it is, do it quickly.

There's a camera. It'll see us.

Let's hope it's working.

Sorry, mate. Invite only.

Aargh!

Take me to Kamal,

or I'll break your other wrist.

Well played, Roberta.

My trap worked. I got him.

It's

Oh, shit.

That's Stephen Manafort.

I know. We'll deal with him later.

Get me every camera in this club, now!

Let's keep this walk nice and smooth.

Tell him it's Michael Mason.

Do you know Michael Mason, boss?

Michael Mason.

Look at you.

No country, no badge.

Just a poor bastard who thought he had friends in the game.

Who's she?

I need a way out

of the country for her. Tonight.

New identity. Somewhere off grid.

No.

No?

How do you think you've been allowed to operate

for all these years, Kamal? With impunity.

And with the luxury of getting rid of your competition

at the same time.

By ratting them out to Manafort and I.

Manafort's gone.

Not gone

unshackled.

He's more dangerous than ever to us both.

You're lying. Am I?

The second the security camera outside saw me walk in here,

into your club, every operative MI6 has within 25 miles

was activated to bring me in.

I reckon you've got ten minutes, tops.

All I need is for you to get her out.

And I'll go cut the head off the snake.

Bury all our dirty little secrets with him.

Wait here.

Please come with me.

You heard the deal I made with him.

I need to honor my side.

Honor your side?

I think you wanna die.

What's that supposed to mean?

You don't think you have anything to live for.

If you really wanted to, you'd come!

Hey, people like me don't get to go and live a normal life!

You keep telling yourself that.

Hey, hey

You're stronger than this. No, I'm not.

Yes, you are.

I need you to be.

Just promise me you're not going to die?

Exactly.

Right, where's my tactical team?

En route. I want Mason and the girl

taken in alive. They are not to open fire.

Car's out front.

How far out is your team?

They're still en route, sir.

Where the fuck are you?

Thirty seconds out, sir.

The girl is his Achilles' heel.

Use that to your advantage.

Copy that, sir.

Passport, ID and 20,000 euros.

She goes to our safe house in Spain for now.

Boat leaves Isle of Dogs in 30 minutes. It won't wait.

Just make sure you finish what you started.

If you handle your end, I'll handle mine.

Wait on the other side of the square.

Let's move. All right, let's go.

This is Zulu, two minutes out.

Do we have an exact location inside?

Wait, you're not already there?

That's a negative.

Manafort. Tell them that there's a rogue team already inside.

They need to get in there now! Now!

Argh!

It's okay.

Argh!

Argh!

Get out of here! Move out of the way!

Mason!

Mason!

Arthur. Manafort's guards have got Jessie.

Move, move, move. Out of the way! Out the way!

Found her. Hold on.

Out the front entrance.

Cut across the square and turn south.

She's being carried towards a black transit van.

Open it up!

I've got her! Move, move! Help me!

Go, go, go!

Get ready!

He's gonna be coming for her!

Get in there!

Where are you going? Get in there!

I don't see Mason.

There!

Mason's heading right towards you.

Move!

Move!

Move!

Fucking move.

I got you.

It's okay.

I got you.

I got you, Jessie.

I got you.

You okay?

Time to go.

There's your ride.

Hey.

You're gonna be okay.

Come on.

Come on.

Gonna lower her down.

You've gotta hurry!

Ready? It's time to go. No.

The boat won't wait. No, no, no. You

You said you can't live a normal life, but you're wrong.

You just have to come on the boat with me

and we can we can disappear

and we can have a normal life.

Come on. Please. No, please!

Please! The boat won't wait.

You're all I have now!

I don't wanna leave you.

Hey. Jessie.

No! Listen to me.

Jessie. No!

This is the only way I can keep you safe.

I'm sorry.

No! I'm not I'm not leaving without you!

I have to save you!

You saved me already.

You saved me already.

Come on.

Now, Jessie! No!

Okay, she's safe.

No, no, please!

Do you even know why you're doing this?

Does it matter?

You can't save her either.

Argh!

Newly appointed MI6 head, Roberta Frost,

is dealing with the fallout

You were my dearest

my greatest weapon.

And then you broke the rules.

Black Kites know one law above all... loyalty.

You put your conscience first and the mission second.

I finally put humanity over blind obedience.

Oh, yeah. There it is. The righteous martyr.

And a foolish one. You allowed a civilian into this game.

A child! What good is all that humanity

with her blood on your hands?

That's not gonna happen.

And you know it.

I don't want that either.

You really think you can outrun what you are?

We are who we are, Mason.

I have been given complete autonomy

to make Black Kites stronger than ever.

I want you with me by my side, as we were.

You're the very reason I didn't pull the trigger ten years ago.

And why I have to now.

What's up? Anything new?

Just having some cocoa and reading a book.

Zoom in and upres.

Er, maybe we should start exploring

other ways to find him.

He hid from us for ten years

until her.

It's a matter of when.

Wait.

It's him.

Your friend said this was for you.

Where is he? He was there a moment ago.
