Dr Cassandra Bryce?

I have some intelligence that needs your particular nuclear expertise.

You told me it was gonna be a quick job. In and out.

The metal in the boxes... Is uranium.

What do you want to return it to me? I want a million pounds.

They're both carrying something. They're keeping apart.

If there was two pieces of uranium, you'd have to keep them apart

to stop them reacting to each other - they might explode.

Go to a location I will send you.

There will be consequences if you don't deliver.

Max. Do what they say. No!

We're gonna make her suffer. Chop her into pieces.

Get to Syria, Max.

I will arrange transport to Marrakesh.

Your girlfriend will be here when you arrive.

We're going to Syria.

What's your name?

Janat.

You're not saying much.

I'm driving. Usually can't shut you up.

I thought you wouldn't wanna talk. You're on a comedown.

I feel fine.

Alam.

He wants us to go to an airfield to catch a plane to Morocco.

To deliver the uranium.

We're here because of baal. That's why we came here.

But... after we go to the plane.

We have to take the uranium to them.

You killed one of them last night.

So what?! Alam doesn't know that.

All he knows is that people showed up and we had to run.

Ok, ok. Calm down.

That's him.

Mohamed Aziz... Destroyer of worlds.

And he quoted the gita?

Misquoted. Oppenheimer was paraphrasing.

Did he strike you as the literary type?

No. But he seems like a textbook case.

Hardcore jihadi. He went to Syria after his release from jail.

And according to the brits, he hasn't been seen for seven years.

There was something about him, Mark.

I saw something.

He's dangerous. We still don't know if they have real uranium.

Khaled's source said they do. Fifty kilos. In two pieces.

I struggle to see how a Venezuelan drug cartel fits into this

when we have a known jihadist involved.

Well, the cartels control highway 10

the smuggling route between the mediterranean and west Africa.

They can move the uranium through the desert for the jihadis.

Ok. But where to?

So it could be going to Mali.

I mean, the insurgents there have practically taken over the country.

Although, with this...

Aziz guy involved, I think it's much more likely a group in this area.

We think we've identified a car they're in,

which has crossed the border into Syria.

Who are they?

They're soldiers. The new government... Or militia.

We have to be careful.

We need to turn off. We need petrol.

Yeah, anything that's available, I'm standing by.

I need to get on the ground. We need to get on the ground.

I don't wanna jeopardise your cover in Beirut. You're doing vital work.

No, there is nothing more vital than trying to prevent a terrorist group

getting their hands on a nuclear bomb, Mark.

That's the whole reason I'm here. Whoever this Mohamed Aziz is...

However dangerous he may be, he's not gonna be assembling a bomb.

Not even when he quoted the gita to you?

There has to be somebody building the bomb.

Ok? Someone that knows how to do it.

I got a name for you. Sayed ah man. He's a physicist.

He went missing a couple of years ago. I actually reported him.

He disappeared a little bit after that.

I'm sure it was followed up.

Well, maybe I should check into that.

Yeah? You weren't expecting him, were you? Talk to me.

You know him well? Where? I know him.

Yeah, I'm on my way.

I got us a plane but we need to leave right now.

I thought you didn't want me to come? You told me I need you.

But if you wanna come catch this jihadi, we need to leave right now.

It was great to meet you. Yeah. Hey.

Take care of yourself.

Let me know where they're headed.

And no-one interferes with their journey until I am on the ground.

That is imperative.

They're on the move again - going further north.

And the brits are sending someone to liaise with us about Mohamed Aziz.

So he must mean something to them.

We'll find out.

Did you mention the uranium? No, I did not.

If they're gonna hold out on me, I'm gonna hold out on them.

You're not holding out on me here, right, Mark?

What do you mean? You're telling me everything I need to know?

Of course. You think not?

No. I just wondered why you're here in Beirut at this moment in time.

It's... It's a... it's a happy coincidence.

Hello. Bonjour.

English? Francais?

English. You need petrol, sir?

Yes. Please.

Journalist? Where are you from?

Where are you going, sir?

My friend.

Do you have a map?

A map?

I can't even read that.

That's where alam wants us to go.

That's here. We're down here. That's palmyra.

So, we go there, then we go to the airbase.

We have to go back there to get back to Marrakesh.

It's the only way... It's the only way we get paid.

I don't know.

Was that where you were when you were here before?

No. Caliphate was in the east.

Fine. No problem.

Everything's all right.

Get in the car. Slow.

Don't rush.

Start the engine.

That was close.

I told you - those soldiers were government soldiers.

We have to avoid 'em.

Heading to palmyra takes us out of their territory.

Listen to what I'm telling ya. I was here.

Ok. I hear ya.

That bloke back there at the petrol place

he only had one hand.

Do you reckon he got that chopped off by your lot?

In the caliphate?

That only happened if you were a thief...

Or dishonest to people.

Did you ever do it? You know, like, chop...

Chop people?

Or were you a suicide bomber?

A shit one, obviously.

Whatever you lot did, the cartel are worse.

That's why we have to deliver the uranium to them.

And to get paid.

Of course.

This it?

Why are we here? This is baal's temple.

It was blown up when I was here.

There've been people living here for thousands of years.

Phoenicians, Greeks... Romans, muslims.

Baths, temples, libraries.

Thousands of years, and everyone built something.

And we destroyed it.

What, and you think bringing that statue back here makes up for it?

Nothing makes up for it.

But I'm trying to be honest.

We can be honest with each other, can't we?

Yeah.

Of course.

I have to take this.

Where are you, Max?

Palmyra. We're on our way north.

So, you're making progress? En route.

Make sure you don't miss your plane, Max.

Your girlfriend will be here too.

And I look forward to showing her my hospitality.

Is laetitia ok?

Hello?

You don't want to mess this up, Max.

Hello?

We gotta go!

Jj, we gotta go. Come on!

Max, I need to tell you something.

I have to... What?

Don't move.

Why? I stepped on something.

I think it's a mine.

I stepped on something metal. There was a click.

If it's a mine, there might be more.

Come back here. You'll need to see what it is.

Ineed to see?! Yeah.

I can't. If I shift my weight too much, it might explode.

What if I stand on one?

Follow my footprints.

Follow my footprints.

There's one.

Hurry up! I'm hurrying, mate.

Ok.

Now, have a feel under my foot.

See what's there.

What if it goes off? Well, if it's big, we'll both die.

If it's small, you'll lose your hand.

Or your face. My face?

Depends on the blast.

If it goes up in front of you, could be your face gets it.

I don't see anything, mate.

Have a feel under my foot. Just be careful.

I am.

This is fucking insane.

Come on. Come on.

I don't feel anything.

Fuck off.

Max. Stop.

Get right back.

I'm gonna lift my foot.

No, you can't. I know what this is.

Allah used baal to bring me back here.

To die. He didn't bring you here. I did!

This was meant to happen. It's written.

I knew it the moment I saw him in Beirut. Bollocks!

We're here in Syria so we can get to the airbase,

so we can get the flight to Marrakesh...

So we can get the money he promised us.

Get back.

Get back!

Fuck.

Further!

What is it?!

It's the top of a can!

Can we go now, please? You didn't come here to die!

Yeah, you're right.

Not here.

This is who I was talking about earlier.

The Turkish scientist who went missing.

Sayed ah man - the one I filed the report on.

You think he was radicalised? I thought he was a person of interest.

He'd been at the university a few times. We met on conferences.

I just couldn't figure out who he might be working for.

Even though I'm sure he knew who I really was, he never made a move.

And why do you think that was?

I would hope it was because he liked me.

But I'm not that naive.

I liked him, though.

Then he was definitely an agent.

People in your line of work only ever connect with people

who do the same thing.

I don't know how you undercovers do it.

Satellite latest is they're heading for the deir

ez-zor province. That's where the caliphate was.

Our jihadi is going home.

We are going the right way?

Yeah.

The airbase, you said it was in the north.

Yes. So why is the sun behind us?

If we were going north, the sun would be to the side.

I drive for a living. I know where the sun is in the sky.

We have to stay out of government territory for as long as possible.

Really fucking hope we're en route.

Turn left.

You better not be lying to me. Stop there.

Where are you going?

This is where I'm supposed to be.

Go on with your journey, Max.

This is where mine ends. No.

You have to take me to the airbase.

Jj, you can't just leave me here!

My name's not jj.

Where the fuck did he point to?

This is for kamal.

Mwah.

I can get us out of here.

How?

How?!

What the fuck are you doing?

This is where I was supposed to die - always was.

This is what god wants. It was written.

This is janat's grave.

That's not my boy's. Where is it?

We have to go to the airbase.

I'm running out of time. It must be here somewhere.

I have to find kamal's grave. No! Jj, please. I'm begging you.

They've got my girl.

I lied to you.

The cartel have laetitia.

They kidnapped her.

They're going to kill her if I don't take the uranium to them.

What? I've got no choice.

I have to go. You have to come with me.

Why didn't you tell me? I didn't think you'd help me.

Why would you help me?

You should have told me.

Just put it down, mate.

I knew you were lying. Just put it down!

You should have told me the truth.

Drop your weapons! Drop your weapons!

Put your guns down!

Get the fuck away from them!

I'd like to go and see the scientific side of our project.

You don't trust me.

I'm just very hands-on.

As my father wishes.

I'd like to go now.

Dr ah man. Please, call me sayed.

Oksana shirokova.

What do you think? It's exactly to my specifications.

All it needs now is the uranium. When will it arrive?

It's the real deal.

Khaled's source was right.

I'm almost certain it comes from the miazov processing facility in Russia.

Stolen? I don't see how it could be stolen. Not now.

Not with the security measures the Russians have in place.

It's impossible. You think they released it?

I don't see any other way to explain it.

It's all ready to be put into the casing too.

Which means whoever is doing this is at an advanced state of readiness.

Where did the uranium come from?

Was it Russia?

Is that why it was in Syria?

Came from one of their bases there, right?

If you don't co-operate, we'll take you to Jordan...

And they'll put a diaper on you and go to work.

You'll break very quickly.

Mohamed. Look at me.

You're gonna speak to me, asshole.

You're gonna do exactly what I tell you to do.

I'll do whatever you want.Max. Do what they say. No!

Anything, but I have to get in touch with the cartel.

If I don't speak to alam, she dies.

She's my girlfriend, you know? I - slow down! Slow down.

Now, just... Just tell us what you know.

Where did it come from? All right.

We know you picked it up from rifaat a tall ah in Beirut.

Who did he get it from? I don't know.

I need to get in touch with him.

I need to get in touch with them and tell them I'm on my way.

First off, you need to tell us about your friend Mohamed.

I'm not a Muslim, mate. I ain't religious.

He's not talking about the prophet.

He's talking about your friend. Mohamed.

Your partner? The jihadi?

You don't know his name?

You know who he is, though, right?

I call him jj.

Like jihadi John.

Because he was a jihadi.

And you can have a different life if you help us.

That's what I want.

A new life.

A new identity.

We can do that.

Then you have to help me save laetitia.

Of course.

What would you say if I told you...

That I want to let them continue with their mission?

I'd say that's madness.

If we stop this now, we miss out on vital intel

about who is really behind this.

We get the two assholes we've got in there. That's it.

No Russians, no islamists. Nothing.

This is an opportunity to roll up the whole of this conspiracy.

From the source of the heu,

to the jihadist group who are buying the bomb.

We'll be on top of them every step of the way.

The moment the heu reaches the buyer, we intervene. It's over.

They need to realise it's in their interest to help us.

And we need to move fast.

We need to get this guy to cooperate.

Still no word from the brits? No.

We're running out of time.

I wanna speak to him alone.

Mohamed Aziz. Destroyer of worlds.

Is that what you wanna do?

You wanna destroy the world?

To you, I'm just a bad guy.

I'm a nuclear physicist.

I don't see anyone as a bad guy.

You're a CIA agent. Why else would you be here?

You must have a family.

Back in England?

What if this bomb ended up where they are?

Do you ever think about that?

And the people who are gonna use this uranium,

they're gonna send it somewhere.

What if it ended up killing someone you love?

The brits have sent their guy.

Al-bukamal, 2018.

One of the last holdouts of islamic state.

A mk80, laser-guided, 200lb.

Fuck knows how he survived.

You used a 200lb bomb when you knew there were women and children there?

Are you fucking kidding me? The yanks worried about collateral damage?

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, so you might as well

take care of the next generation while you have the chance?

Hey, you can look at me like that all you want, hen,

but he's on the list - kill or capture.

But you don't wanna capture him, you wanna kill him.

Capture bit's just for the human rights people. You know that.

Well, it's a miracle he survived.

Do you think he's still a jihadi? Definitely.

He's a piece of shit, this one. He's evil.

There's no reforming him.

You don't think people have the capacity to change?

Do you? Of course.

He'll never change. A lead sleeping tablet's what he needs.

Listen, I'm 100% with you on that.

But in this case, we need him for something.

For what?

Well, I can't say that, but if...

You could find a way to help us make him co-operate,

we would be very grateful.

He'll no help you with nothing. That's a double negative.

You know what I mean. Well, I think I do.

But if I'm being honest, I'm having a little bit of trouble with your accent.

That's cos yo use Americans don't hear folk like me

on your tellies, do yo use?

You think it's all pride and prejudice in britain.

Paddington bear and Hugh fucking Grant. But it's not.

It's cunts like me, and it's cunts like him.

I get him when you're done with him?

He's all yours.

Here we go.

What is this? It's his son.

And I've got something else for ya.

If you help us... If you carry on

let this plan play out - we will find a way for you to see him.

He's in Italy, in a refugee camp.

He's being looked after. He's safe.

No, that's a fake. That could be anyone's kid.

It's your boy. It's kamal. I had it checked out.

You made it out of there alive. That's a miracle.

Why shouldn't he have done the same?

He was found in the rubble a few hours after. Where were you?

He's alive.

That's a fake.

That's fake. It's fucking fake!

Great work.

This isn't what I do.

No, but you do it very well.

I need to be in Marrakesh.

I have to see this through. I wanna know who's behind this.

I have done everything you've asked of me, Mark. You owe me this.

Max. Where are you?

We hit trouble. Car broke down, and the phone ran out of battery.

It was a fuck up.

You have the uranium? Yeah. We got it.

And I think I've found a way to get back.

Backbone.

What did they promise you? A new identity?

You and laetitia riding off into the sunset? Something like that.

We are gonna at least try to get them out?

We're talking about a drug trafficker and a jihadi here. Who's gonna miss them?

'I have to go there.'Max! 'They've got laetitia.'Tell them!

Not doing it. I know how the betrayal happens - happened to me before.

This is about your chance to do the right thing. This is for you.

And the other one? I'll take you to it.

He's supposed to be here. I'm not going to the riad.

You have to. Fuck. He's on the move.

Don't follow me.

Americans? Perhaps this might be a good time to leave?

Sayed. Thought it might be you.

I hoped it wouldn't.

Where are they taking us now?

I don't know.
