Nathan.

How are you, old man?

Very good. Thank you, Mr. Knighton.

You look like the walking dead.

Yes. Well, I'm always a little bit cold
when I've just got out of bed.

Perhaps you can tell me
why I've been summoned,

8:00 am. On a Sunday morning?

Well, if you'd care to study the film,
you'll see that two nights ago,

some heavily-guarded cargo was ambushed
outside a facility in Odessa,

where 20 security guards
were mercilessly annihilated.

I want you to retrieve what went missing,

and to find out who the seller is,

who the buyer is,

and what it is.

So we don't know exactly what it is, sir?

No. That is the mystery.

But our analysts in intelligence reported

it very quickly became extremely popular
with the wrong sort of people.

And with a price tag of around 10 billion,

I don't think we can afford
for it to remain a mystery much longer.

It's been given the name "the handle."

But why me?
Why not the official intelligence branch?

Ruse de guerre, Nathan.

An unorthodox approach to war.

I need a creative, cunning
and unconventional vision

to retrieve this kind of mercurial threat.

A courier on a bicycle
in congested traffic,

not the official team.

They'd take forever to Wade
through the administration,

and the clock doth ticketh.

So, who will be heading up your team?

Oh, the usual chap. Orson fortune.

0h, fuck.

That man is an administrative nightmare.

He can't fly unless it's a private jet
because of claustrophobia.

Then he needs sedating with
the finest claret because of agoraphobia.

And then there's the rehabilitation
in the Maldives

because of cloudo-bloody-phobia.

Yes, I understand, sir.

But when you cut back on his expenses
and created a mental health department,

it was a perfect storm.

He's trained to exploit
every system presented,

which is why he is
the very bicycle courier you require.

Where is he?

Well, it's funny you should say that, sir.
He is on one of his, uh,

rehabilitation retreats.

Yes, you are paying for that, sir,
but don't worry.

I think I can pull him in.

The fuck are you doing here, Nathan?

- Everything all right, Orson?
- No, it's not.

I'm supposed to be on holiday,

and you're supposed to be
4,000 miles in that direction.

Actually, it's 3,000 miles
in that direction. But whatever.

- Mind if I come in?
- Yes, I fucking do.

Aren't you gonna ask why I'm here?

No, I'm fucking not,
because you're not staying.

Wouldn't be here if it wasn't serious.

I don't care how fucking serious it is.

I'm on holiday, and I'm not interested
in working at the moment.

There's a price to pay
for possessing a unique set of skills,

being as brilliant as you are.

And please don't take this the wrong way.

As a private contractor,

your government pays you handsomely for.

I'm ignoring this apparition.
I'm talking to an empty space.

You're going home.

And I'm gonna meet my girlfriend

at the bar.

Ah, yes. About that girlfriend of yours,

it seems as though
she's not just your girlfriend.

But don't worry,
we'll fly her home first class.

Have you been spying on me, Nathan?

I am sorry.

But something
rather nasty has been stolen.

How nasty?

Under file a is file b.

That's the list
of nefarious potential buyers

whose interests have been aroused.

We don't know what was stolen.

That remains a mystery for you to solve.

But we need to stop it getting
onto the open market.

Threat's imminent.

- How imminent?
- Imminently imminent.

Put it this way. When you hit the ground,
you'll be running, literally.

We've got the plane.

The bbj, this year's model.

And all your medicinal requirements.

'82, '96, 2004.

Marinate.

And I'll see you in two minutes.

Fine. So Orson will be heading your team.

Will you be using John, the comms man?

- Ah, sadly not, sir.
- Isn't he the best?

Well, he might be good...

But he turned out to be
something of a duplicitous snake.

He went over to Mike hook's team.

- Ah, Mike, the competition.
- Yes. Just on that note, sir,

I do hope we won't be competing for
the same prize on this mission with Mike.

There is more than one security department
in this government.

Mike is on another job.

Very good, sir.

- Afternoon, Lucinda.
- Sir.

Oh, I was starting to worry.

- Had to get changed.
- Didn't we all?

- Captain, can we warm the engines up?
- Right away, sir.

Isn't that the '82?

It's still drinking well.

Isn't this my medicinal requirement?

Yes.

Thirsty, were ya?

Party for one, like all your parties?

Is it the usual team?

- Minus John.
- Where's John?

- John got poached.
- By who?

By "whom." Never mind.

But I do mind. I know John.

I like John.

I trust John. He's a pro.

- Someone paying him more?
- Yes.

If I asked, would you pay me more?

- You can ask.
- Will you pay me more?

No.

You're above that grubby self-interest.

You're a patriot.

And besides,
no one gets treated like you get treated.

When you say "you," you really mean you.

Anyway, who's my footman?

I found a splendid replacement.

What's his name?

Sarah fidel.

Strong nom de guerre.

- Never heard of him.
- That's because she's an American.

"She."

Lucinda,
bring the 2004 haut-brion, please.

Ah.

I'll help myself to a beer.

[Have a rather fabulous
replacement for comms John.

An American, much more versatile
and creative. Sarah fidel.

Didn't she work with Mike?

Mike, consistent with his character,
abandoned her in Beirut,

which is where I picked her up.

Any other footmen?

Yes, this young man, jj Davies.

There really isn't
very much he can't do either.

Comms, guns, driving, diving,
rapping, slapping, you name it.

They are both two comprehensive footmen,
the perfect all-rounders.

Isn't that jj? What's he doing here?

He's joined the team.

He's a good kid, but isn't he a bit green?

He's been very busy
since you last saw him.

He's what you might call enthusiastic,
hungry, keen.

Don't put your fingers near his mouth.

- Jj.
- Sir.

Mr. Fortune, meet miss fidel.

Miss fidel.

Your highness.

Apparently, you're the new John.

Not meaning a toilet
or prostitute's client, I take it?

Please don't pee on me.
I don't do that anymore.

John didn't have a personality.

I liked John.

You can call her "John"
if it makes you more comfortable.

He was reliable.

Wasn't that reliable.

Heard he got poached by my old team.

Your old team?

The other leading private contractor
favored by your government.

You worked for Mike?

Mike, the competition Mike?

You may not like Mike, but Mike is good.

What we got?

Bagman, coming in
on a flight with a hard drive.

We need to track him,
see where he takes it.

I'm gonna keep an eye on you,
feed you constructive information,

play the right music.

I'll control the turntables,
you control the dance floor.

Like to dance?

I liked John.

We'll send him some flowers
on your behalf.

Got anything yet?

Okay, I'm getting somewhere very slowly.

Still dialing in. Can you hear it?

Do you actually know
how to use a computer?

Well, I'm sure I can find my way if you
just tell me where the on button is.

Nathan, we've been here three hours,
and my feet are hurting.

She's your responsibility.
She slips up, it's on you.

I hired her. Itrust her.

We have a three-hour window, okay?

He's gotta be with us soon.

In fact, on cue. Think I got him.

About time.

Hiding in that crocodile
should be the drive.

What's on the drive? We don't know.

Orson, just remember he's a bagman.

A retired professor,
not a threat or a black belt in Mogadishu.

I'll try not to frighten him to death.

We just need to know
who he's delivering it to.

Whiz kid, what am [looking for?

Brown hat, spectacles,
crocodile-skin briefcase, upper level.

He should be coming into your peepers now.

I'm in his phone,
and I'm gonna send him a message.

"Car is delayed."

- You see him, sweetheart?
- Got him.

Sending him to
Luigi's coffee bar, ground floor.

- How do you know it's him?
- You dance, I'll play, remember?

- Jane, he's heading your way.
- In position.

Jj, take the b stairs.

He passing me now, heading to coffee shop.

He's all yours.

I still see you in position.
Jane, respond.

Jane?

- Wakey-wakey, whiz kid.
- Orson, I'm getting no response from Jane.

Jj, keep your peepers peeled
and your hands out of your pockets.

Peepers peeled.

Hands flying free.

Marcia, the job is yours.
Catch him at the counter.

Confirm when the tracker's in place.

Moving in now.

Why do I smell something ratty?

I smell it too.

Marcia, confirm tracker in place.

Marcia, marcia, marcia.

Confirm tracker in place.

Why do I get the feeling
we're not the only team in town?

Can't be. I would know.

Okay, that's odd.

Either it's a glitch in the network
or someone's... someone is very good.

In my experience, it's seldom the network.

Who could do that?

John.

John could do that.

Smells like team b.

Nathan, what the fuck are they doing here?

If that weasel John is here,
it means that toad Mike is too.

Stand by.

Nathan.

Mike isn't on a different job, is he, sir?

Or is it a coincidence
that his team is at Madrid airport?

If he's there,
it isn't because of my department.

My world works
in a similar fashion to yours.

The government likes to keep
departments competing.

Competition for the best condition.

Mike only has two talents.

Blowing his cover and blowing himself.

But thanks for the heads-up.

Orson, confirmed.

Mike is here to track the crocodile.

Mike's clumsy and predictable.

They're not here to track him.
They're here to pick him up.

I've resolved the glitch.
We're going back live.

Jj, change of policy.

Don't go in, go out. Exit door f pincer.

On it, boss.

You have two inbound, 8:00 and 6:00.

Understood.

Just tell me
they haven't tasered the girls.

Uh oh, yes, tasered.

Let me feel your rhythm, whiz kid.

- Count me in.
- Three, two, one.

Take a deep breath. That's right.

Our man is en route to exit.
Main gate departures. Two b's in pursuit.

I'm on it.
I'm exiting through the parallel doors.

He's moving to taxi 49502.

- Nathan, you're needed.
- Incoming.

Jj, your location?

Exiting through east parallel doors.

- Sefior? Hola, sefior.
- Mr. Bakker.

Oh, no, no, no. I cannot come with you.

Two more b's posing in the car.

- No, no, please.
- Come with us.

What's going on?

Heart. Heart. Heart.

Jj, wheel.

Heart.

- What's wrong with him?
- Don't know.

Keeps saying he's hot.

No, no. Heart.

Loosen his tie.

He doesn't feel very hot.

He's not hot, you idiots.

He has a heart condition.

We have two of them in pursuit.

Okay, the drive will be encrypted,
but I can clone it remotely.

Connect me to the hard drive.

We're roadblocked.

They have my wife. They will kill her.

Jj, lock the doors.

There's a dozen of them, fully armed.

Get out! Get out of the vehicle, now!

Ineed more time.

I need another 20 seconds.

They don't know me, my face.

You go to the duchess.
Table 12, 6:00 P.M.! Save my wife!

Foun

three two

open the door!

I've got it. Let it go.

We're gonna need a shovel.

- Nathan.
- Mike.

Nice of you to knock.

Orson.

Mike.

That belong to me?

- What'd he do to our friend here?
- You scared him to death, Mike.

It's good, sir.

Second mouse always gets the cheese, mmm?

Yeah.

Let's go.

The drive is good, but it's scrambled.

Without the data key, it's useless.

So our best option, deliver the drive
and find out who the buyer is.

No one interesting has joined
the rooftop in the last 40 minutes.

So whoever you're there to meet
is already there.

Here we go. Nathan, your file says
you're terrible at accents. So don't talk.

Bakker?

This for me?

Have a good evening.

Think I got him.

He's coming back as Ben Harris.

Ben Harris.

He's the lawyer/consigliere
to Greg simmonds.

Who's Greg simmonds?

He's a billionaire arms dealer.

- Only plays in the top tier.
- Greg simmonds.

Interested in selling 9-mils to kids.
He's selling tomahawks to terrorists.

He's impossible to catch. Very elusive.

He only uses Ben Harris
on his biggest deals.

And if he's turned up in person,

speaks for itself.

Oh, hello.

This might be useful.
Greg's hosting a charity event in cannes.

Well, that's convenient,
'cause we're also going to cannes.

Seems he loves an orphan.

Well, he wants to. He made enough of them.

Uh, we've picked up some time. So we'll be
arriving into la in less than four hours.

La?

When I put my head down,
we were heading to the south of France.

So, can someone please tell me
why we're flying to Los Angeles?

The power of "no," Nathan.

- I'm sorry?
- Backwards to go forwards.

We're going to la
to pick up our invitation.

That being?

Danny francesco.

Danny francesco?

The movie star?

- Goddamn it!
- Stunt failed. Reset.

I do the stunts, you shoot the money.

Wake up, everybody!

Chad, get out of the fucking car!

Greg simmonds's favorite movie star,
Danny francesco.

And how does that get us in?

You can't catch this fish
with conventional lures.

Greg wants what everyone wants.

What they can't have.

There's nothing he can't buy
apart from Danny francesco,

who recently snubbed
a ten-million-dollar offer

to jump out of a cake
and sing him "happy birthday."

He's obsessed with celebrities,
but more obsessed with their partners.

Sarah will be going as Danny's girlfriend.

It's the fish that can't be caught,
Nathan.

Power of "no."

And how do we turn
this movie star's "no" into a "yes"?

I think we've got something.

Blackmail?

Yeah, blackmail.

Hmm.

Ruse de guerre.

Very good. Carry on.

- So, how are you gonna play this?
- I found some spectacular dirt

on the infamous movie producer
Saul Goldstein,

so I pulled him in to help us.

I asked Saul to lure Danny to Vegas
under the premise of a five-picture deal.

But as Greg is hosting
his charity fundraising event

that we would like to attend,

you're going to ask Danny francesco
to come with us instead.

Huh. Creative work.

So what have we got on Danny francesco?

He's having an affair
with his sister-in-law.

Told you she was good.

Leave this with me.

Fucking Jesus.

Fucking Swedish.

You kill me, Saul!

Oh, Saul.

You're a fabulous producer.

I mean, you're a piece of shit

but you're a fabulous producer.

Everybody wants to work with you.

I want to work with you.

But a Swedish accent, Saul?

Come on, I'm an American!

- I can't do an accent.
- Hello, Natasha.

Danny's not gonna need you on this flight.

- Uh, really?
- Yeah. One of those things.

I appreciate that, Danny

but we need you to do this for us.

"For us"?

What, the royal "us"?
What are you talking about?

I mean, you have to do this for us.

I have to?

I don't mean to contradict you, Saul,

but I don't have to do
anything for anybody.

And I don't want to contradict you, Danny

but we all have to do our bit.

I'm sorry.

I thought you were here
to serve the coffee.

Why do I suddenly feel like
I'm being ganged up on here, Saul?

Who are you?

I'm your new manager.

I'm sorry, kid.

They had something on me too.

Okay, Saul, where are you going? Saul...

I'm gonna let you converse
with your new manager.

You're gonna do great, Danny.
You're a star.

Saul.

Hey, Saul.

- Where do you think you're going?
- See you soon.

Saul, don't you dare leave the...

Natasha!

Where is Natasha?

Who let this man on my plane?

Natasha!

This is my plane!

Yes, it is, Danny,
and it's a lovely plane.

But you're gonna have to
trust me for two minutes.

Why should I?

Because you're an actor.

You're a movie star.
Because you're a professional.

Imagine we're in a scene.

Please, sit down.

Are you a patriot?

Well, I don't vote republican,
if that's what you mean.

Okay.

Let me give it to you a different way.

The world needs you
for your greatest role yet.

You and I are going to a party.

- Who are you?
- I'm your manager, Charlie rosewood.

You're no longer going to Vegas.

We're going to cannes.

No.

You are getting off of my plane,
and Natasha's gonna make you.

Natasha! Natasha!

What the fuck have you done with Natasha?

Please calm down.

There's a sensitive and awkward situation

between you and your sister-in-law...

That you probably shouldn't have filmed.

I actually love my sister-in-law.

Yes, Danny. You've made that
quite evident.

It turns out everyone thinks
you're a superstar, Danny.

Once they heard
you were in town, they came to us.

Uh... stop.

I don't think I can do this.

- No, no, no.
- Danny.

- Nope.
- Danny.

Trust yourself.

No need to be nervous.

No reason to be nervous?
They're only killers.

We've all seen you
handle killers before on-screen.

Fundamentally, there's no difference.

What do you think an agent does?

They act.

And no one acts better than you, Danny.

The best agents are stars,

and the best actors are movie stars.

I guess that's sorta true.

You're an actor. Act.

There's a big difference
between an actor and a movie star.

And that is why they're obsessed with you.

Yeah.

Well, that and the fact that I didn't
jump out of a cake for $10 million.

Okay.

While I'm busy playing my part,
what are you two gonna be doing?

We need to get close enough to
Greg simmonds to remotely access his cell.

Okay.

I'm ready.

Let's go to work.

Walking on set.

Good.

Remember,
you're not there to buy anything.

I'm sure I don't have to remind you

that you spent the entire annual budget
on wine during the flight over.

So lay off the wine,
concentrate on getting into Greg's phone,

and identify who's actually
buying this handle.

Understood. Danny, we good?

Good? Is that a joke?

Remember, you're a professional.

You're playing yourself.

- But I've never played myself.
- You can do this.

- Ladies and gentlemen...
- Danny.

Lot number 4
from the quintess collection

is a pair of diamond
and sapphire earrings.

And a round of applause, please,
for sir Jonathan mendes

for the winning bid of $258,000.

Happy ending because he...
He was diagnosed with, um...

What's that funny cancer? Um...

Is there a funny cancer?

I can't remember what it was,
but it's something like cock cancer.

And he, uh... he, uh...

- What?
- Will someone pinch me, please?

- Pinch you? Why?
- 'Cause I think I'm dreaming.

Is that...

Is that Danny francesco?

Do you know what? I'm a little bit excited.

Oh, I do love Danny francesco.

Everyone loves Danny francesco.

I am a little bit starstruck.
I am. It's not cool, but I am.

Good evening.

- Ah, good evening.
- Hi.

- Nah, I'll tell you what...
- Danny, you like this...

Do you like this piece?

Love it.

It's one thing
utilizing the expense account

because you have "psychological" issues.

It's another thing
bankrupting the department.

What's he doing here?

Was that you, Benjamin bunny?

Not guilty, Mr. Simmonds.

- It was you, wasn't it?
- It's a surprise, sir.

Ah, how much is that fabulous item?

Lot number 15.

- $1.5 million.
- Ooh.

Lot number 15
from the habsburg collection.

You like it, Danny?

It's wonderful.

1.5 million you say, eh?

Anything Danny buys,
he can pay for himself.

He can afford it.

- He likes it.
- Don't you fucking dare, Orson.

- I'll take it.
- Orson!

Sadly, he can't. It's no longer available.

- Shame.
- It's not a terrible shame.

It now belongs to you.

Compliments of Mr. Simmonds.

He's a big fan.

Mr. Danny francesco.

Look at you.

The one and only, the legend.

- You're very kind.
- No, no. I'm Greg simmonds.

And I wanna thank you very much

for all the entertainment
you've provided us over the years.

Thank you.

We", listen,

it's a fantastic gesture,
but I can't accept it.

No, no, you can,
and you can for two reasons.

One, you deserve it.

Two, it's a fundraiser.

Speaking of which,

would you care to meet Trent and Arnold,

who are both in biotech.

I don't wanna be vulgar,
but 22 billion, 17 billion.

Sorry, boys, I didn't wanna be indiscreet

but, you know, facts are facts.

And they're both sponsoring
tonight's event.

- Hey.
- Big fan.

Oh, thank you. Great cause.

We try, you know.

Orphans. War.

- Mm-hmm.
- Oh, oh, oh.

Let me introduce to you the...
The lovely Michaela.

Well, what an absolute pleasure.

Pleasure's all mine.

And can I just say... are we
allowed to say these things now?

Wow. Wow.

- Wow.
- Wow.

- Hello. What's your name?
- Ah, Charlie rosewood.

Hello, Charlie.

My business manager, Charlie rosewood.

Oh, yeah? Are you sure?

You don't look like a business manager.

Books, covers.

Oh, yeah. Well, big book, aren't ya?

He's doubled my money
in the last three years.

Is that right?
You got any tips for me, then?

I don't think you need any tips,
do you, Mr. Simmonds?

You'd be surprised. I'm very greedy.

Well, maybe tonight you'll be
loosening the purse strings a bit for us.

Uh, no tax benefits, so no chance.

And, uh, Danny doesn't like kids.

Oh.

He was kidding.

Well, you're not wrong.

Actually, we've got two
of the war orphans here tonight,

and they're really annoying.

I don't want to be pushy,

but there's a lot of
very interesting people at this party,

and I would... i'd...

Emilia, could you take that
for me darling?

I would love you to meet some of them.

Well, I...

Mr. Simmonds, I would love to.

I just... I'm actually quite shy.

Danny, it's the least you can do.

Mr. Simmonds here,
he just spent 1.5 million on you.

Well... no. To be accurate,
I didn't spend it on Danny.

I spent it on Michaela.

Suggestion: Why don't we all
retire to the cocktail master?

That's what
you usually call me, right, honey?

Minus the "tail."

She's...

I don't think I believe what I just heard.

I'll pretend I didn't hear that.

Come on, over to the bar.

You are gonna wash your mouth out.
Come on, Danny.

A generous donation of...

- So I grab him by the balls...
- Yeah, yeah.

And I say,

"if you speak to her like that again,

I'm gonna rip off your head
and shit down your neck."

And I feel something.
I feel a little lump.

Yeah.

Two days later,
he's diagnosed with testicle cancer.

- Oh, my god.
- A year later,

he wins his first tour de France.

- I love that.
- Yeah?

He's funny, isn't he?
And he's naughty too.

- Yeah.
- Yes.

Go on, then. Give us some more.

How are we gonna get to his cell?

His guard still has it.
We've been watching her.

Go find her.

One for the footman then.

Really? Why can't you do it?

You wanted to be more than a whiz kid.

You wanna get in the field,
get your shoes dirty.

Go on, everyone, have another cocktail.

Keep him busy. Cost a fortune.

Didn't you, Jean-Pierre?

Look at that. Look at that! It's magic!

That's it. Do all the monkey business.

Flip, flip.

I'll get yours, Michaela,
while you go to the powder room.

Oh, thank you so much.

It's not so much magic.

Just a little practice. I could do that.

While I powder my nose,
what will you be doing Mr. Rosewood?

The waiter behind you was also
at the Madrid airport.

- Nathan, Mike's back again.
- I heard.

You deal with Greg. I'll handle Mike.

You do your thing and, uh, I'll do mine.

Okay, sweetheart.

Go on, then. Give us some more.

Go back to the dirty ones,
'cause I like them best.

Well, this is gonna knock your socks off.

Lot number 6 from the delamont collection

is the one-of-a-kind blue sapphire...

Where am I going?

Yes, thank you. I know. Where is it?

Keep going and then turn left at the end.

Evening, Nathan.

You got your boys
in to mess things up again?

Mike, nobody likes you,

even your wife.

Well, that's what she told me, anyway,

whilst trying to untangle herself
from my chest hairs.

One day you'll grow up, Nathan,

and you'll realize I've got more money,

more men, more intel.

You don't stand a chance.

In which department?

She did whisper you have
an alarmingly small penis,

and I know you have
an incredibly small brain.

Is it me that should be worried?

You still running operations
out the back of your garage?

At least I have an operation.

There's a difference between
you needing an operation

and me having an operation.

We're way ahead of you on this, Nathan.

Outclassed as usual.

You'll only mess this up
like you do all the others, Mike.

Stay out of my way.

Let's be a good little buggy.

Okay, what do I do now?

Emilia's in the room
the other side of that wall.

I can get a lock if you stand there.

If I get any closer,
my ass is gonna go through it.

Jj, who is this guy?

Hurry up 'cause I'm on him.

Okay, the phone's on now.

Can I help you?

Oh, hi. I was just
looking at this painting.

Oh.

I'm sorry, who are you?

Michaela.

I'm here with Danny francesco.

That's it. I, uh... I saw you earlier.

Greg told me he had this amazing painting,

and he knows I'm an art lover...

I actually curate
Mr. Simmonds's collection.

No way.

This is actually an original rhed.

Wow. Rhed with an h.

Wow.

You really know your stuff.
That's pretty esoteric.

Do you work in the arts?

No, I'm just an enthusiast.

Keep him talking.

I'm always curious about
the philosophical details

behind a collector's motivation.

Mmm.

We delving somewhere deep here?

I don't know. Are we?

All right, jj.
I didn't need his life story.

I just wanted his name.
Now disconnect his comms.

Good evening, sir.

Vincent, is it?

Vincent, can I hear Orson?

Relax.

Mike cannot hear this conversation.

- Here you go, Mike. You'll enjoy this.
- Vincent.

Vincent.

Who's Mike?

We can play that game if you wanna,

but one way or another,

you're gonna swim to the shore.

Vincent.

Please continue.

Well, I'm interested in the paradox
of dualistic motivation.

He will try and bribe you. Don't listen.

The only question is,

are you gonna do it with a broken nose...

Or with your face intact...

And this watch on your wrist.

The canvas should be a portal
into the abstract,

infinite, life-transcendent,

which, of course, gives
creative expression its inner value.

Mike? Check in, mi...

Fuck you, Orson.

Check in.

Where's the paradox?

The... the paradox is that
there is beauty in the filth.

What else have you got?

Good question.

I admire a man with a strong sense
of self-preservation.

However, there is a limit.

What was wrong with the watch?

The most beautiful roses come
from the ugliest manure.

I feel like I'm on the couch.

You still got a minute to go.

Anyway, it's a theory.

I have no idea if it has any credibility.

Where'd you get that from?
Have you got one for me?

Vincent.

One more chance...

While your nose is still straight.

What's it in?

Left or the right?

It was the right.

Now, if you don't mind,
I'll take my watch back.

- Yes, Sarah.
- Good work. Wrap it up.

Rich people, if you, um, hadn't noticed

they they like to show off.

I'm gonna head back.

Great chatting with you.

What's your name again?

- Michaela. Mm-hmm.
- Michaela.

- Have a great night.
- You too.

What's next for Danny francesco?

My next film role?

Yeah. Yeah.

Well, I'm playing a
mysterious self-made billionaire

who goes on a transcendental journey from

material genius to spiritual giant.

Well, that's a bit spooky, isn't it?

You just described me.

- I don't...
- Idea... Danny, shush.

Idea: Why don't you come spend
a little bit of time with me

and, you know, do your research,
find your character, all that?

- Charlie?
- Michaela. Success?

- Of course. Success?
- Success.

Be with you shortly.

Well, I will go rescue
the movie star, then.

Good luck, Vincent.

Michaela, my darling,
your boyfriend wants to use me,

don't know why,
as inspiration for his next film.

Gave me an idea.

Why don't you come
and have a little vacation

in my Turkish villa this weekend?

And Danny gets to pick up some tips.

Shadow me, you know.

Do whatever I do.

Whatever I do do.

What do I do?

- We'll find out.
- You will.

Is that a good idea?

I mean, I have a couple things going on,

but I think I can rearrange some things.

You, Michaela, have a lot going on.

- But what about this weekend?
- Oh. Yeah.

Gregory, how are you?

Oh, lord. Look who's here.

Well, we've been waiting
for you to introduce us to

Danny francesco.

Of course you have.

Danny, I'd like you to meet my
very good friends Alexander and Natalya,

- and big yiv...
- Alexander.

- And the sulky Katya...
- Yes.

And somewhat scary dimitry.

- Dimitry, nice to meet you.
- Yes.

Man, I'm such a fan, you know.

- Uh, you mind if I, uh...
- Selfie?

- Yes.
- Selfie time. Let's do it.

- Yeah. Be gentle with him.
- Yes, um...

- Go on, then.
- Danny, please.

- Yes.
- This way. Yeah, good.

- Wait. Wait, wait. Yes.
- Yeah, good. Good. Uh...

- This is fantastic. Okay. Everyone just...
- Yeah. Yes. Yes.

Why don't you just crowd
around a little tighter.

- They're like piranhas, aren't they?
- Yeah.

Now, that is a feeding frenzy.

- Another one. Whoa!
- Okay.

- Wait. Not finished yet.
- No, I think we got it.

He's gonna come out of there a skeleton.

Very, very nice to meet you.

Just watch where you're
putting your hands, dimitry.

Why are you looking at me like that, Greg?

I think you know why
I'm looking at you like that.

And you know that I'm spoken for.

Oh, I do, and I respect that. I do.

But will you allow me
to flatter you for a moment?

Danny is a famous actor,
and that is very impressive.

But actors all work
for someone, don't they?

You strike me as someone
who doesn't take orders.

- Well...
- No. Shush, 'cause I'm talking.

I think you're a free spirit.

I'm not sure what that means.

It's been a pleasure.
It's been an absolute...

You remember in this movie when
you were a bad guy?

You're so good. I get some...

Come here.

The world is a much, much bigger place
than you can possibly imagine.

Allow me to show it to you.

-Eh?

Hmm?

Michaela.

- Hello, Charlie.
- Yes.

- Does our superstar need rescuing?
- Great.

- Yes.
- Hey, Danny. Shall we?

- Michaela.
- Mmm.

Think about what I said, yeah?

Mmm.

Hey, look, Danny.
Your manager is here to save you.

I gotta take him away before you
three birds chew the meat off his bones.

- Danny, take my hand.
- Danny. Come on, please!

- Oh!
- Hey, Danny. Danny, stay! Come on!

- Hey, man. I love you.
- Danny, come back.

- We love you so much.
- Come on.

Danny, you're my man.
Man, I love you, man.

Look, these beautiful pictures. Ah, look.

Dimitry, your tongue is hanging out,

and your hand is on his cock.

Danny, you should be proud of yourself.

Yeah, looks like we may be going
away for the weekend with greggy.

You guys have to stop doing this to me.

I don't know if that was the
most exhilarating moment of my life

or the most terrifying moment of my life,

but Danny francesco
playing Danny francesco,

that is the way forward.

Congratulations, team.
A successful evening.

Debrief at 0700.

Good work.

Well, well, Greg.

Well, Alexander,

at your new, improved summer sale
price that is the $10 billion...

We have a deal.

Fantastic!

So, who's buying?

No, not telling you that.

My job is to protect
every link in this chain.

So I do protect them, yes,
but I'm also protecting you.

So what happens now is that I tell
them that you are delighted,

and they will be delighted, and then
we can all be delighted together.

We should celebrate now.

We should. Uh, Emilia.

Get one of them really
stupid bottles of vodka.

You know, the one with the
five-carat rock in the top.

You'll love that.

I do wish you'd communicate
with your other departments.

Someone is feeding Mike information,
inside information.

It doesn't look like Mike is working
for anyone in this government.

I'll need more time to find out which
government he's working for.

Now, tell me what you have.

We still can't confirm it's the handle.

What we do know is that Alexander
is selling something for $10 billion.

Greg simmonds is brokering the deal.

And who's the buyer?

Still a mystery.

But it won't remain one for long.

Greg has a thing for stealing girlfriends,

especially from movie stars.

So accept his offer to go away.

That's a vulnerable position.

I've dealt with much worse than
Greg simmonds before, believe me.

Vulnerable?

Just be aware if they need to get out
quick, it might not be that easy.

At some point,
the movie star's gonna melt.

I'm sure he'll be fine.

What did you find on Trent and Arnold?

Our biotech billionaires are
buying up an awful lot of gold.

Other than that, not a great deal.

At least we know
the Ukrainians are involved.

Whatever they're selling
has now got Greg very excited.

Yeah. I found out where they're staying,

but their computers are
impossible to hack.

I don't know how long
it's gonna take me to get in.

Options?

Quickest way is to physically
install software on their computers.

You mean break in
and install via a thumb drive?

Yes, that's the most direct way to do it.

This one's for you, then.

Really? I thought I was the footman.

No, a tech whiz.

- Yeah, and you're the hammer.
- Hammer?

If there's a problem, I'll do it.

No, there's not a problem, jj.

I'll do it.

I can get inside the Ukrainians.

I hope you take them to dinner first.

Before you get inside of them.

You are over the wall. Neatly done.

And we are redirecting the air con.

And they're all sleeping like babies now.

They're not gonna wake up anytime soon.

You are safe to enter.

Doors opening now.

Up the stairs, first floor,
bedroom on the left.

Once you've installed the thumb drive,

cover your tracks and make
it look like a robbery.

Swag some watches,

crack the safe and bag some cash, baby.

The more you bag, the better it looks.

No time to watch TV, sweetheart.
Get to work.

Find the laptop?

Found.

And now I'd like you to plug in
that drive and slap enter.

Whatever they control,
I can control better.

We have full access to their computer.

Now that you've sucked it dry,
return to safe.

There are still two guards patrolling.

Exit via the front door.

Nicely done, sweetheart.
We'll pick you up at the front gate.

Don't move!

Don't...

What's that?

It's a guard dog.

Guard, dog.

- I'm good with a dog.
- Lucky, that.

- What about your mate?
- Power nap.

He'll be all right in a minute.

Okay, are you guys done?
I heard a gunshot.

Is anyone dead?

No.

No thanks to you.

- What?
- You said it was clear.

I said the front was clear.

I came out the front.

You know, they usually keep the
olympic-size swimming pools

in the back of the house.

Ah.

Front, back, right, wrong.

Right, wrong.

Whatever.

Anyway, shall we?

- Jj.
- Sir.

- Morning.
- Morning.

Sarah says I didn't miss much last night.

- In and out.
- So you weren't seen by anyone?

- Yes.
- That's a yes, you weren't seen by anyone?

- Yes.
- Or a yes, you were seen by someone?

- Yes.
- Childish.

Nothing you need to worry about, Nathan.

You just concentrate
on your gluten-free, lactose intolerant,

bunny-stroking breakfast.

Boys, I pulled this
off the Ukrainians' laptop.

Looks like the deal's
all agreed to on their side,

and there's an escrow account linked.

What are they selling?

We still don't know.

- So we could be wasting our time.
- Activity on Greg's phone.

Yes?

Greg, you're on speaker.

I'm with Arnold,
enjoying the view from up here.

You're back in Disneyland already?
Didn't hang about, did you?

What'd you do, beam yourselves there?

Don't go mad, darling.
Yesterday I looked like fucking candy.

You're lucky we made your party at all.

- Your choice of friends is questionable.
- Well, you're not wrong.

But I'd argue that they
are acquaintances, not friends.

And yes, we did raise
a lot of money for the war orphans.

Thank you for caring.

Put a load of rich lowbrows
in a room together,

they'll always outbid one another

in the name of egotistical
competition and ostentation.

Which is kind of the point, Trent.

Didn't have you down
as an angry anti-capitalist.

No, we are anti-capitalist.

Anti-other-capitalists.

I'll tell you what, boys, I've got
another call coming in.

- Thank you, my darling.
- Thank you, sir.

You better take it, then.

So what was the point of this one?

Just to check we're okay.

Yes, we are okay.

Just remember,
yellow is the color and gold is the game.

And I still love you. We'll speak later.

Hello, qasim.

Go on.

And? Everything set?

Why?

Don't move!

I will shoot you.

Don't shoot! Don't hurt me.

Come on. I... take my hands!

No police. No prison. I've got kids!

- Sorry, sir.
- He's crying for mama. Not a problem.

You shot my foot!

No cry for mama.

Psst, psst, psst.

This is the kind of thing
I need to know about.

You dropped your chopsticks.

You got shit on your face.

Should I be worried?

You keep me informed, qasim.

Goody goody then.

"Flying fowl" in 72 hours?
What the cuss does that mean?

I got a location on qasim's phone.

If the Ukrainians are entering
another country illegally,

they're gonna need help
avoiding any risks with the authorities.

So where's this qasim based?

Antalya, Turkey.

Gobble, gobble.

That's "flying fowl" with a w, not a u.

Turkey borders Ukraine.

Hence "flying fowl," flying to Turkey.

Bit of a reach.

You'd think so, except
qasim Amari is a diplomat

located in the Turkish
government's office in antalya, Turkey.

I don't know how I do it.

What a brain.

Do I have a brain in there? Oh, she does.

Modern women.
What will they think of next?

So, looks like we're all flying fowl.

We'll track qasim, see where he leads us.

Sarah, you go with Danny as planned

and find out from Greg
exactly what it is he's buying.

We need a confirmation on that.

Explains why greggy's spending
his weekend in Turkey.

There's a term
for being beaten in four moves, Nathan:

Fool's mate.

Wasn't four moves.

If you can get yourself
out of that little mess I put you in,

you can have a glass of this.

What we got on qasim, jj?

Libyan diplomat based all over the world.

Met Greg simmonds in the 2000s

who put him on the payroll soon after.

Qasim's been greasing palms
and burying bodies for Greg ever since.

Nice work.

- Have a glass of this.
- Wine's not really my thing.

Is that the 2004?

Who's talking to you?
Aren't you busy enough?

There's wine and then there's wine.

Don't force the poor man.

Whoo!

Congratulations, Dr. Frankenstein.

You've created another monster.

Nathan, you don't put fish fat oil
in a Ferrari.

Whoo!

Ah, little miss paradox.

She got in your head yet?

- Hey, good to see ya.
- You too.

There they are, my new best friends.

Hosgeldiniz, as we say in Turkey.

Mmm. Thank you for the jet.

Oh, don't be silly. That's the baby one.

- Danny francesco, yeah.
- It's good to see you, Greg.

Excited to be here, learn from the master.

Oh, no, I'm not the master.

Now, before we do anything else,

follow me 'cause I have
something to show you.

Grab a drink on the way.

'75 corniche, greggy. I love it.

Yeah, it's nice, isn't it?
Present from Elton, that one.

Wait a second. That looks
exactly like the car that I drove...

Do you know why? Do you know why?

- That's not possible.
- Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah, it is.

Lovingly restored with me own hands.

It's not really with me own hands.
I'm just joking.

-It's nice though, isn't it?

Look at him.

I drove this car myself.

I know, honey.

And, Michaela, did his own stunts.

- Is that true, Danny?
- Yeah.

- Could you still do 'em?
- I'm a little rusty, but sure.

Right, game on. After lunch, yes?

Okay. I might have to sit
that one out, but you boys have fun.

After lunch, Michaela,
you are having the pleasure

of a four-hands, hot stones
massage with suki and Sasha.

And they really, really
understand a lady's geography.

Isn't that right, Emilia?

Yes, they do.

Sounds fabulous.

- She looks nervous.
- Oh, believe me, I'm not.

- You even have my prop gun!
- Yeah, yeah, it is.

But it's not a prop anymore,
Danny, so steady, yeah?

- I cannot believe you got this car.
- Yeah.

- I wanted this car so bad.
- Did you? Did you?

How much did you want it, Danny?

Of all the cars I've driven on-screen,
this is the only car I wanted to possess.

Is that right? Did you crave it?

Yeah.

- Did you yearn for it?
- Yeah.

Did you dream about it?

I longed for it.

Do you know what?

It's yours. Come on, let's have lunch.

- What?
- It's yours.

Come on!

All right.

Do you like kebabs?

What's in the bag?

Nothing.

So you're carrying an empty bag?

You nicked the margaux, didn't ya?

"Nicked" is a little bit strong.

Leaving half a bottle
of margaux on a plane?

So you're a doggie bag man.

Do you have any idea what it costs?

He has no idea how much it costs.
Short arms, long pockets.

Room keys.

Meet down here in 60 minutes?

We're off to track the Libyan.

What are you doing?

- That's my key.
- I know what it is.

I also know you've given yourself
the biggest room.

How do you know I haven't
already switched them?

Fuck off, Nathan.

You haven't got the bandwidth for that.

I can't believe it.
I'm in the car with the actor.

Is the back end still bulletproof?
It feels a little squirrelly.

Oh, yeah. Unique selling point.

So, tell me, how did the leap from
millionaire to billionaire change you?

Right. Interesting question

and, I imagine, my cue to say money
doesn't make you happier.

I'll tell you what, Danny,
it fucking does.

-It does.

I'm really happy now and...
And a nicer person too.

I worry about things.
I worry about the world.

I worry about the war orphans.

You don't strike me as a worrier, Greg.

Yeah, well,

you don't strike me as someone who drives
like a little girlie, but you do.

Oh, is that how it is?

Whoa!

Slow down, Danny francesco.

You are driving me into my dreams!

Everything all right, Michaela?

Yeah. Oh, my god, this place is massive.

And wow, this piece is beautiful.

Um, "mimar sinan."

- Are you looking for your room?
- Yes.

- Mm-hmm.
- My room is that way.

It's actually the other way.

Yeah, of course.

Down the corridor, turn right
and it's on your left.

Hey, that massage was so good, by the way.

- You should join us next time.
- Turn right.

Right. Got it.

Okay, I'll see you later.

- Qasim's out.
- We following?

Not yet.

Looks like he's en route for a coffee.

Oh, hello. How does he do it?

Mike?

Doesn't matter how he's done it.
He's done it.

It's Mike, isn't it?

How's he getting his information?

Ground control?

- Can you hear me, major Tom?
- Loud and clear.

How are we getting on?

Looping monitor.

They have some sort
of adolescent firewall.

It's taking me about a minute
to perforate it.

Done.

Looks like he's had enough of that paper.

Qasim's off, and Mike's going with him.

We following?

No, let Mike play that game.
My money's on the paper.

Whatever you say, boss.

You want an ice cream?

And I am in.

Great.

What's he buying?

Hold on.

I picked up a file sent by qasim.

He's using rsa encryption.

Huh.

- Well, that's disappointing.
- What?

Well, it looks like Greg's up to no good.

But not spectacularly no good,
just no good.

Don't be mean, Sarah. Give me something.

Greg is buying containers
of stolen ak-47s.

Yes, very funny.
Now, seriously, what is it?

No, I am serious.

We've got it wrong.

See for yourself.

Oh, hello.

We've seen him before.

Shall we?

I'll get the ice creams,
you get the wheel.

Can't be, Sarah.

All that fuss over 30 million dollars'
worth of guns?

It's too small a crime
for too big a player.

If it's a cover, it's a very good one.

It's enough evidence to feel his collar,

but not enough to choke him.

Understood,

but there's nothing linking
this deal to the handle.

Pooh.

Get out of there and get back
as soon as you can.

Let me just dig a bit deeper

and find some evidence we can
hold over him for a rainy day.

Okay, but be quick.

Orson, you there?

What is it?

Time to come in. We were wrong.

It's not the handle,

it's firearms.
We're following the wrong rabbit.

You go back to bed. Leave this with me.

Sarah's shown me proof.

Forget it. We're done.

I don't think so.

We're back with our old friend Ben Harris.

If Greg has Ben involved,

there's no way
that this deal is about guns.

All right. Follow him, but do not engage.

I'll let Sarah know we're still in play.

You got me, jj?

I've got a lock on you, boss.

Do we pick him up?

No.

Cat follows mouse.

Can you get a lock onto his phone?

Yeah, if you get close enough.

Stay within 50 meters.

I can use your phone
to lock onto his signal.

Quicker if he uses it.

Get close enough to raise suspicion,
but not too close so he bolts.

That will initiate him
activating his phone.

Are we being followed?

He sent a text. I blocked it.

I've got him. I've locked on.

I've blocked his call.

Can't get through. No signal.

- Deal with that.
- Yes, sir.

-Lost?

Thank you, sir. Maybe you can help me.

I'm looking for the, uh, harbor.

- This way, sir.
- Oh.

Hang on. I've justjammed another message.

We're burned. He's recognized ya.

That's strange,

'cause, uh, according to the map,

it says this way.

No. This way, sir.

Oh.

Ah! Amazing.

You're absolutely right. Thank you.

Got to pick him up. He's gonna run.

Orson, if he gets out of range,

I can't block his signal. Get after him.

He's in the building on the left.

He's ten meters, straight on.

Hey!

Jj, he's on two wheels. Talk to me.

Fifteen meters, take a right.

- Left or right, jj?
- Sharp left.

He's getting out of range.

Jj, speak to me.

He's stopped moving.

He's right in front of ya.

- Stairs?
- Take a right.

Afternoon.

Excuse me.

Can you, uh, take a picture
of me and the view?

They're only stairs. Go on, move yourself.

Next time, I'll sit in the car.
You do the chasing.

Let me take a look.

Oh, beautiful.

Give me your phone.
Let me take one of you.

He's still there.

There's no one here.

I'm telling ya, he's right there.

You're on top of his phone now.

Ah, Jesus. What did he do that for?

Hold on, I'm just pulling up.

There's a body all over the floor 200
feet below me. It's Harris.

Get the phone, the paper...

And get the body in the back.

That isn't Ben Harris.

What do you mean it's not Ben Harris?

That's Ben Harris.

Is he in the back?

Yeah, he's in the back.

So, Nathan, can you now confirm?

The file Sarah extracted
from Greg's computer

was actually the data key that
unlocked the bakker drive,

confirming it is the handle.

So what is it?

The first of its kind programmable ai.

Our people had hoped
it was still in the post,

but now it seems
the post has been delivered.

It can hack any system,
even other ai programs.

- With what end?
- To any end.

It can launch a nuclear strike
and then cover its own tracks,

pointing the finger
at whomever it wants to blame.

Whatever is run by a computer,
it can control.

And we still don't know
what they intend to use it for.

Yes.

But we can at least now confirm

that Alexander
is indeed selling the handle,

with Greg simmonds brokering
the deal for $10 billion.

Confirmed.

So, what now?

When's the transaction gonna take place?

Deal's set for 9:00 am.

Between the newspaper and
info extracted from his phone,

Ben Harris was to be picked up
from hotel Amara's lobby

by Alexander's representative

and taken to the exchange
to transfer the escrow.

He still needs to call Greg
to get a 15-digit passcode.

So, inconveniently,
we do still need Ben Harris.

Could've done
without him dying, but still.

Childish.

Can we make me Ben Harris?

Go on.

They don't know what he looks like.

He guarded his visual identity
very closely.

- Mr. Harris?
- Yes.

There is a green g-wagon outside.

My men will escort you.

I'll do the deal myself.

But you'll have to talk
to Greg on the phone.

It's a pleasure
to meet with you, Mr. Harris.

Your phone, please.

Anything else?

Nothing else.

- Do you mind?
- Please.

I can make you look like him,
but I can't make you sound like him.

Don't we know someone who can?

I'll tell you what, Danny,

Michaela, it's a gift.

It is a gift. My dad had it.
It's like a party trick for him.

Didn't matter what it was.
Could be a toy, could be a pair of shoes.

He could put his hand on it,
shut his eyes, and tell you the price.

-He'd go, "14.99."

No, he could. He could. You...

- You laugh...
- Please don't stop on my account.

I have to use the little girls' room.

Oh, yes, my darling.
You know where it is, don't you?

Yes, it's straight past mimar sinan
and a right at Timur.

She's funny, isn't she?

- She's great.
- You're very lucky.

Right. So, roof comes down.
Watch this. Roof comes down.

You say, "relax. Relax, Mr. Steak."

There he is all calm now.

Sarah, regrettably...

Ben Harris has passed away.

- When?
- Couple of hours ago.

Orson encouraged him to jump off
an extremely tall building.

Mmm. Poor guy.

Can you make him sound like Harris?

Have you sourced
any existing voice recordings?

Yes.

In which case, upload them and
send them to me, and I can do that.

How?

- The vocoder works in real time.
- Mmm. Clever.

- That's ai for you, Nathan.
- One last thing.

I need you to confirm
you still have full access

to Alexander's network.

Confirmed.

Make yourself comfortable.
There is water in the door.

- So far so good.
- Okay.

Keep in touch, jj.

Now, you two, you're gonna
have to entertain yourselves for an hour,

'cause I've gotta make a work call.

It's all right. I guess
I could use a little nappy-poo myself

- I'll join you for your nappy-poo.
- Yeah?

Change of plan.

Danny, you make the work call.
I'll take the nappy-poo.

Michaela, you join me.

Greggy.

They're going off road. I'm parking up.

He is the real deal.
It's super impressive.

- And he's so into you!
- You really know your stuff.

I mean, if you're not interested,
I know I might be.

Fill your boots.

- Where's the paradox?
- What are you doing?

Well, I need to make Orson
sound like Greg's lawyer.

Why?

Because Ben Harris is dead,
and we need him alive for the arms deal.

Ben Harris is dead?

When did that happen? And who killed him?

That's not something
you need to worry about, Danny.

What you need to worry about
is how much longer we have

- until we're found out.
- Found out?

I know you're having
a billionaire love affair.

It's very sweet.

But we have 20 minutes

before Greg's security
blows our fucking brains out.

What do I do?

I suggest you get ready
for your next scene.

- Which is?
- The getaway.

Right. I know how to do that. Action time.

Right.

- I'll see you in the garage.
- Okay, darling.

They will be here soon.

I'm on.

- Sergi.
- Boss.

I'm in place.

Mr. Harris, I assume.

Pleasure to meet you.

Likewise.

Here we are.

Your people have confirmed
our product is authentic.

I present the handle.

I need my phone.

Yes, Benjamin bunny?

Mr. Simmonds, we're connected.

Mr. Simmonds, we're connected.

All right.

We're good.

The 15-digit passcode.

A moment of privacy, please.

A moment of privacy, please.

- Emilia.
- What is it?

There seems to be some sort of
break-in in our Internet security.

Just waiting for the system to go online.

Just waiting for the system to go online.

Holding.

It's like someone's hacked in

but it keeps dropping in and out.

Who's hacking in?

The signal's coming
from within the compound.

Ready for the 15-digit passcode.

Ready for the 15-digit passcode.

Right, here we go.

Two, six, two...

Harris is transferring now. Stand by.

Update.

It's happening.

Check the monitors. Show me where.

The signal's bouncing all around
the server. I can't lock it down.

- Squiggly dash, eight...
- Come on.

Five, nine,

small letter "b" for bollocks...

Five, six,

five, five, comma,

big "c" for clit.

It happened.

Ponytail, 11:00.

Show me Greg's office.

I know Greg's in there. Why is it empty?

- Got it?
- All done.

- Transaction complete.
- All right, Ben.

You hurry home. Don't talk to strangers.

Check all communications in and out of
the villa in the past 24 hours.

Doesn't like ya.

It's the guard from the villa.

I'm on him.

Payment confirmed.

Ten billion confirmed.

Confirmed.

Mazel tov.

Confirmed.

Ponytail, lodging complaint.

- Thank you, Mr. Harris.
- Stop!

This is not Ben Harris.

Kill him!

Jj.

Sarah, update.

I'm just unconfirming their confirmation.

- What's happening?
- It was confirmed.

Just confirm again!

Jj, who are these people?

- I'm scanning.
- Find out.

Give me a moment.

30 seconds.

- I don't understand.
- What don't you understand?

It's gone.

Just don't tell me it's Mike.

Understood. Then I won't.

- Who is it?
- I'm not allowed to tell ya.

Fuck it!

Give me a fucking break.

I got Orson under control.

Get that gun out of my face.
Give me the fucking radio.

Are you up there in the chopper, Mike?

Orson, you sound upset.

Don't you worry about me, Mike.
I'm having a lovely time.

What seems to be the problem?
Engine trouble?

Don't concern yourself.
I'll give you the bus fare home.

My boys will take over from here.

Come on.

Who are ya?

Who are you, Michaela?

How'd you do it?

This thing between us...

Is strong, innit?

Do you know what the Turks call it?

It means "fire."

They say the gods
will be furious if you put it out.

But you know what I'm gonna do?

I'm going to put it out,
Michaela, because of Danny.

He's a friend, and I respect him.

- And it's the right thing to do.
- Mmm.

I'm sorry if that disappoints you.

No, it's fine. I'll see you at dinner.

Round up any survivors.

Tie 'em up, beat 'em up, bring 'em here.

Iwanna be back in the air asap.

Orson, you know why I'm here.

Let's not make this any
messier than it needs to be.

So don't be a bad girl.

Just surrender my prize.

You want it so bad,

you get your arse down here
and get it yourself.

I have people to do that for me.

Oh, here he is.

Keeping a safe distance as usual.

You're a spineless jellyfish, Mike.

- Yatom, get the case.
- I'm on it.

Go on. It's yours.

You're not taking it. I'm giving it to ya.

Okay. What's this?

- Oh, no. He's got a gun.
- It's okay, relax. Relax.

Oh, it's a selfie! Okay!

Who's gonna tell me what's going on?

We think they hacked
into our secure server.

It's not that secure, then, is it?

It's worse than that, I'm afraid.

Whoever you think you were on the
phone to before, you weren't.

Ready for the 15-digit passcode.

What are you on about? That's Ben.

Ready for the 15-digit passcode.

You stop Danny francesco
and whoever the fuck that is.

Do it now. Do it now!

Get after that car.

- Bring them back to me.
- Understood.

Yatom, we good?

Yes. We got it.

Check the case, John.

You have the case.
So why are we on our knees?

You won't be on your knees for long,
my friend.

Orson, there's something
strange going on up here.

- It's good, boss.
- Right.

Temperature's changed.

Mike's gone rogue.
He's executed the Ukrainian.

We've got what we need. Connors.

Yes, boss?

Kill Orson.

They're gonna kill you now.

Shoot them first, then.

I'm not just good with dogs.

Tidy.

There's a chopper
with a dead pilot up here.

- I'll meet you there.
- Incoming.

- Nathan.
- Yes?

Nathan, we're being chased
by Greg's security.

Then get UN-chased.

Good news, the back is bulletproof.

Bad news, I can't control the back end.

You any good in one of these?

It's been a while. But I'll feel my way.

It's only a chopper.

Feeling my way.

You think you can put your foot down?

What are you gonna do with that?

I'm gonna shoot at them, Danny.

I think I can help you out with that.

I'm out of bullets.

- Nathan, are you there?
- Yes, what is it?

Your friend Mike's appeared
again, but this time he's turned.

Turned?

He's executed the Ukrainians
and taken the ai.

I'm going after him in a chopper.

Did the other two get out okay?

Don't worry about them.
They can take care of themselves.

The road's closed.

- What happened?
- Cover's blown.

Greg's security are in pursuit.

You just focus on
retrieving the case from Mike.

- Find out where they are.
- Already on it.

Two minutes southwest of this thing.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

They're going in the tunnel.

Do you know how
to use these rocket launchers?

Can't be too complicated.

F for "forward," r for "rocket."

Oh, I think we're in trouble here.

Oops.

I think r's for "rear."

I think I've worked that out now.
Thank you, jj.

Let's hope there's two more
seats in that chopper.

Knighton has confirmed Mike
was not working for any government.

He's been working independently.

- Ain't that a surprise.
- You need to track him down.

You track him down.
We're going back to Greg's.

- We are?
- You are?

- We are?
- We are?

I can't go back to Greg's.

Danny, nothing to worry about.
Jj's taking care of you.

Sit down, Danny.

You might wanna see Greg,

but I don't think he wants to see you.

You're wrong, Nathan.

I am exactly who he wants to see.

He knows Sarah downloaded enough
information on him to throw away the key.

Find some evidence we can hold
over him for a rainy day.

- So, Greg now works for us.
- Clever me. I'm just gonna say it.

Jj, tell Greg we're coming in.

We have an offer he can't refuse.

We'll be expecting a call.

Whatever you say, boss.

Uh, can we... can we drop me off first?

Nothing to worry about, Danny.
Greg's in love with you.

- Would you buckle up?
- Sit down, Danny.

Well, if you're wondering whether
I'm feeling something of a tit,

the answer is yes, I am.

- Is it humiliating, Emilia?
- Yes.

Do we still think
we can maybe make a deal?

- Yes.
- Yes, we do.

Which is not to take away from the genius
of your plan, Orson fortune.

That is a sexy name. It is.

You must fancy him a bit, fake Michaela.

Still fancy you a bit.

But what you done, using him as bait,

celebrity trojan horse,
that's brilliant. It's classy.

Not so classy, though,
is your competitor Mike.

Comes barreling in, pretending to be
Mr. Law and order,

steals your thunder, and,
potentially, my commission.

You can keep your commission, Gregory.

- Oh, yeah?
- Oh, yeah.

You can keep your commission,

you can keep your reputation,
your Liberty.

Because you're gonna donate
your said commission

to your favorite charity, orphans of war.

Oh. Am I?

Who's your buyer, Greg?

I never reveal my buyers, Orson.

Emilia, tell them.

You remember Trent and Arnold?

Would you care
to meet Trent and Arnold...

- The biotech billionaire friends.
- That's it.

As we speak, they are using
your precious programmable ai,

the handle, I believe you call it,

in conjunction
with a concert of satellites.

Enjoying the view from up here.

Purpose: To trip up
the world's banking system.

So that's why they're buying up
$40 billion worth of gold

while simultaneously trying
to cover their tracks.

That's exactly it, Orson.
By the time they finish,

gold is the only thing you'll be able to
buy a sticky book with.

- You're taking us there, Greg.
- I could.

And I reckon I can get through the door

because I've got something
they can't ignore.

Namely, a comprehensive insurance policy.

But I do worry about your invitation.

Trent and Arnold

have rented themselves a very nasty
little private army.

You let me worry about that.

Just one last thing.

I would kill to see you in action.

Oh, Danny.

Well, how can I say no?

So, what are they going to do
with this handle?

The handle...

Would be a financial atomic bomb.

It'll create a digital glitch
in the world's banking system.

May last only a few minutes,

but that'll be enough for trust to
evaporate in conventional markets.

Gold, like always,

would be the only remaining
currency with any credibility,

its value rising exponentially.

Anarchy would follow while the
world reorganizes itself.

Well, Nathan,

now it's time for your man
to prove his worth.

Clear the room.

- Anita.
- Yes, Mr. Knighton.

Get the pm on the line.

And the bird is up. We'll have eyes soon.

And Greg and Danny have arrived.

Floor is yours.

- Method?
- Blitzkrieg.

Get 'em before they count the first body.

I like it.

I'll cover ya. There are blind spots.

That's what the bird's for, jj.

Jj...

Shoot straight.

Leave it with me, boss.

How are you feeling?

- Good.
- Nervous?

No.

Remember your lines. You've only got two.

You got the bit about the lights?

Yes.

One more thing, Danny.

Lose the shades.

And we are back with four
guards by the pagoda.

I am blocking their comms.

Blocked.

I have the two on the right.

Hello, boys.

Hello.

Ooh, a lot of very serious faces, Danny.

Now, you remember those two,
don't you? Trent and Arnold.

And one of you, you, is Mike.
Is that right?

Well played, Mike.

A bit naughty for a government contractor,
but we are where we are.

Moving on.

Two more ahead. I'll take 1:00.

The purpose of this visit is, Danny?

You never paid, uh...
Mr. Simmonds's commission.

We were paying for you to deliver,
but you didn't.

Mike did. You failed.

Isn't it a bit weak Trent?

Because I wasn't paid to deliver.

I was paid to supply, and I think I have
supplied. Have I, Danny?

Orson, take a left through the hedges.

Two on the jetty.

Now you're clear.

Do we really have to listen to this?

You will listen to this,
and here's the reason.

I don't wanna patronize you.
I'm not a patronizing person.

But you three, one, two, three,

you are quite new
to this game, aren't you?

And there is a reason why no one,
and I do mean no one,

not Mr. Hussein, not Mr. Qaddafi,
not Mr. Escobar...

And that's before
I start dropping names...

Why none of them have ever
refused to pay me.

- Have you got me?
- Going dark.

Repositioning. Let me find you.

In the can-am.

Behind me, on the horizon, I think
you'll see an old, derelict, 1960s hotel.

Needs demolition.
Now, you could do that with...

I don't know, what,
30, 40 pounds of semtex.

About right, Mike?

Silence and darkness retained.

And you've got two more guards up top.

Or you could do it with...

Lights, please, Danny.

One agm-65 Maverick missile
very much like this one

in three, two, one.

What happened there then?

Let's do that again.

In three, two, one.

Wait. Wait. Wait. There's more.

There we are. I think we're done now.

Danny, the lights again, please.

What are you trying to convey with this...

Illustration, Mr. Simmonds?

What I'm trying to convey,
Mike, is how little you boys understand

of the new world
which you find yourselves in.

I would've thought it was obvious

that I'd have some kind of
insurance. And I do.

Danny, give them the papers.

You'll see in the left-hand column
there's a list of names and addresses

of people that I believe
you hold near and dear.

Take the service elevator one level down.

And he's in. Phase two. Let's move.

In the right-hand column,

there's a very exact time
for when those people will be, um...

What's a nice word for it, Danny?

Uh, "eviscerated."

That's not a very nice word, is it?

But it's not gonna happen,

because I'm very confident
that within five minutes,

and five minutes is all you
have as the countdown has started,

and the only thing that will stop it...

Is a phone call
from my business manager...

Telling me that my money...

Has been transferred to my account.

So from this point,
it's out of my hands and into yours.

Danny, let's go and have a drink. Come on.

Bye, boys.

I mean, give him the money.

Mike. That's my mom there.

Gene.

That's the most impressive thing
I've ever seen a man do.

Really? Really?

Get the transfer done now.

We were set up to make the payment anyway.

So get it done now!

He's bluffing.

Those explosions didn't
look like a bluff to me!

There's a reason they call him the
dark angel of merciless death, Mike!

- Listen to me. He's bluffing.
- Easy for you to say.

I mean, do you even have
anyone on your list?

You can forget your commission, Mike.

It's going to simmonds.

You useless pair of silicon tits.
Let me handle this.

Back off! All right?
You handling it put us in this mess.

I'm not interested
in what you have to say, Mike.

Now back the fuck off!

Backing off.

Backing off.

Everybody calm down. Calm down.

Mike looks upset.

- Orson, how you doing?
- Still alive.

- Still moving upwards.
- Okay, well,

Greg left with the movie star.

It seems like things are getting
a bit heated in there.

Chris, progress report.

It's happening, it's happening.
Thirty seconds.

They're doing the transferring now.

That's a billion dollars
to your orphans of war.

- Look, we'll be okay.
- We won't be okay.

Did you see what happened out there?
You think that's okay?

I am in their system. I have all their
codes and details.

I can move all their money.

Truth is I am better than them,

and you don't need them anymore.

Idea to get involved with the fucking
weapons dealers...

Don't turn this around on me.
We have a problem,

and we have to deal with it.

There are explosions going off
on the fucking horizon.

- Oh, are there?
- You think that's fu...

So, you're just gonna brush that off?

No, no. No. No!

Is it safe to go in?

It's hard to tell,
but there is nobody moving.

Bit of a mess in here, whiz kid.

Found the case, jj.

Just check it.

We're good, boss.

Orson, behind you. In three, two, one.

Don't do it, Mike.

Leave it where it lies.

Orson, I need the case.

I need the fucking case!

You want it so bad, Mike,

- you can fucking have it.
- Orson!

- What you got in the case?
- Our wages.

Is that Nathan and his army
to get us out of here?

That's not Nathan you can hear.

That's knighton's black ops incoming,

a little bit late as usual.

Nathan abandoned us.

Apparently, he has something
more important to do.

Of course he did.

He sent the bbj.

He's in Doha.
Apparently, there's been another incident.

Oh, but he told me
to tell you not to panic.

He has all of your
medicinal requirements on board.

Did you bring a corkscrew?

I'll be your corkscrew, baby.

Course you will.

Budge up. We're going on a holiday.

I suppose you're all feeling
quite pleased with yourselves.

It's impossible to feel pleased
with ourselves on the wages you pay.

I have some good news.

Since your last escapade
was such a success,

don't let it go to your heads,

I have another job for you.

And this time, the money is spectacular.

I don't care how spectacular it is.
I'm going on holiday.

That's yours.

- Where are we going, darling?
- Don't know, and I don't care.

As long as it's hot,
expensive, and he's paying.

And we're taking the jet.

Take it, take it.
Go wherever you want. Go mad.

Enjoy the snow, enjoy the beaches.

It's all on me, as long as
you're back in 36 hours.

- Two weeks.
- Orson.

- I'm not great at skiing.
- Orson.

I like the beach.

I don't care where we go
as long as I'm drunk.

- Fine. 48 hours.
- Ten days.

- You're killing me! 96 hours!
- A week.

And, Orson,

we need the necklaces and watches
you stole from the Ukrainians.

Their government wants them back.

Too late. I've sold 'em.
I've invested the money.

We are now in the movie business.

See you next Tuesday.

Hold on.

Orson. Wait. What movie business?

It better not involve Danny francesco

and his fiancé, Greg simmonds.

We were paying to deliver, but you didn't.

Mike did. You failed.

Yeah, well, that's a bit
naughty, Mr. Yamamoto.

I'm not paid to deliver.
I'm paid to supply.

Now, there's a very
good reason why no one...

And I mean no one,

not Mr. Hussein, not Mr. Qaddafi,
not Mr. Escobar...

And that's before
I start dropping names...

Behind me on the horizon,

there's a derelict monastery
in need of demolition.

Now, how are we going to do that?

Well, we could use 50,
60 pounds of semtex.

Does that sound about right, Mr. Yamamoto?

Or we could use one single
amg-65 Maverick missile,

very much like this.

Going in three, two, one.

Fucking amateur hour. Maxie.

- Where's the VFX, maxie?
- Sorry, Danny.

- Come on, man. I can't work like this.
- I'll get it fixed.

Barney, can you get me guy?

Cut the camera. Cut the cameras.
Reset, everybody.

What did you think of that one, greggy?

I'll be honest with you.

For me, that was very, very moving.

That was... that was beautiful, Danny.

That one?

- That one.
- That one.

That one.

I don't know. It was not my best take.
I don't...

Did you like that one? I don't...

See, I love that bit because
you're smiling,

but you're scary too.

Yeah. But look at my hair. It's awful.

I just feel like it's...

There. And there, there.

- I think we can do another one.
- Brilliant.

- We can do another one. Guy!
- Go on. Off you go.
