(SPEAKING FRENCH) Hey, what are you doing?

You're very good. Excuse me.

Let's go.

(IN ENGLISH) You realise champagne is supposed to be sipped?

That's only if you're paying for it..

You know, I just sat through a three hour E-I-C meeting.

Oh, I thought you lived for inter-agency cooperation?

Smile and do your time. It'll be good for your career.

Look, I'm supposed to help the Ambassador greet our guests.

- I'll catch you later. - What...

- Minister! - Rowan.

Are you here to protect me from these businessmen

who want to sell me things?

ROWAN: I'll try my best. Make sure we can catch up later.

Fuck off.

We'll try and get out through the service entrance.

(IN ENGLISH) Don't shoot, please! Okay! Okay! Don't shoot!

Testing, testing, one, two. One, two. Testing.

Mesdames, messieurs...

I apologise for this intrusion, this interruption to your evening.

I assure you, I have no intention of hurting you.

Minister of Defence. Philippe Bardin...

Where are you, Minister?

Show yourself, please.

(FOOTSTEPS RECEDING)

Stand up.

Rowan Alexander. MI6 Head of Station. Do you know who I am?

What d'you want?

When we've located the Minister then we'll get started.

Get down.

He was my friend.

Pulled me out of a burning jeep in Afghanistan.

(GROANS)

(GUN FIRES)

Drop it.

Who are you?

I'm going to take out my ID.

Don't shoot me.

Take it out slowly and I won't.

Vincent Taleb. I am the Minister of Defense's protection officer.

Can I have my gun now?

Sure.

I'm Zara. This is Milo, the cloakroom attendant.

- You work here? - I work in HR.

(SPEAKING FRENCH) She just killed a mime artist with a shoe.

(IN ENGLISH) I got lucky. The French Foreign Legion.

For someone in HR, you know a lot about special forces tattoos.

I have to find the Minister.

(POLICE RADIO CHATTERING INDISTINCTLY)

- (IN FRENCH) Who are they? - We don't know.

They have over a hundred hostages,

including the Defence Minister and the British Ambassador.

The assault teams are ready to breach and we have a negotiator on standby

Very good.

(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)

(IN ENGLISH) Do you remember me, Minister?

You're Jacob Pearce.

I want to show you something.

You see, this is what they do to you, mesdames, messieurs,

when you've been left to rot...

inside a Taliban jail...

for six years.

Strange. Being tortured, raped, it really focuses the mind.

And I've thought about you a lot.

What I would do to you, if I ever got out.

I did get out.

Please. I have a daughter.

I know. My men also had daughters.

They had sons, they had wives.

They had families.

And you betrayed them.

And they were slaughtered. Good men. All gone.

And that is because of you. Because of both of you.

If you want money, I can get you money.

(PEOPLE SCREAM)

Do I look like the kind of man who cares about money?

- By the way, you're very welcome. - For what?

For saving your life.

Are we still pretending you're in HR?

ZARA: It's been a while since I did this kind of thing.

Move fast, kill the bad guys.

- Try not to shoot me. - That's incredibly helpful.

- Thank you. - (LOCK CLICKS OPEN)

Okay, when you hear the shooting, kill the lines. Here.

You've got one job to do. Don't screw it up.

(SOFTLY) Please...

You want to urinate?

Piss? Shit yourself?

I know. But, you're afraid of what the people here might think of you.

Don't be. Just let it go.

(SIRENS WAILING)

(CONVERSING IN FRENCH) I want sniper teams on the roof.

They're waiting for you.

Philippe? Philippe, please.

Can I talk to you for a minute?

(DOOR CLOSES)

I pissed myself in front of all those people.

(GLASS CLINKS)

I thought I was going to die.

I need you to tell me everything you know about Jacob Pearce. Who is he?

He was a Captain in the Foreign Legion.

His company were stationed in Arghandab in Southern Afghanistan.

He was ruthless.

They drove out the Taliban,

restored the power and water.

The Afghans loved him.

Rowan was the MI6 station chief in Kabul.

He received intelligence on the location of a Taliban commander.

Pearce and his men were sent to kill him.

But they walked into an ambush.

Pearce blames you and Rowan for what happened?

It was bad intelligence.

We thought Pearce died with his men.

Two years ago,

American Special Forces raided a compound near Kandahar.

They found Pearce.

Chained up in a cell.

If it wasn't your fault, why does he want to kill you?

He's completely crazy, insane.

- (KNOCKING ON DOOR) - (DOOR OPENS)

Ma cherie.

I'm fine, I'm okay.

I was so worried.

I'm okay.

- (MUSIC PLAYING OVER HEADPHONES) - (KNOCKING ON DOOR)

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

I'm coming.

- (EXCLAIMS IN FRENCH) - (IN ENGLISH) Check your phone.

It's charging. Did you crash your car?

ZARA: No. The embassy was attacked.

- (WATER RUNNING) - This is crazy.

Did you see anyone get killed?

I hid in my office until it was all over.

Wait. Whose blood is that?

Well, I was helping someone who was hurt.

(ZARA BREATHES DEEPLY)

You smell of beer and cigarettes.

(MOBILE PHONE RINGING)

- Hello? - Vincent?

(SIGHS IN RELIEF)

(SPEAKING IN FRENCH) I wanted to check that you're okay?

I'm fine. Thank you.

A few cuts and bruises. Nothing serious.

When I heard. I knew you were there.

I couldn't think about anything else.

I thought about what I was going to say to you.

Now it all sounds so stupid.

Maybe I shouldn't have called.

No, don't say that.

It's nice to hear your voice.

I still think about our time together

I've thought about calling before but...

It's too hard.

I understand.

I should go.

I'm glad you're okay.

Goodbye, Vincent.

Madame La Presidente. Prime Minister. (IN ENGLISH) They are ready for you.

(SPEAKING FRENCH) Ladies and gentlemen, hello.

Last night...

our two countries were the targets of a brutal terrorist attack.

Our thoughts are with the victims

and with their families and friends.

The attack...

on the British Embassy

was an attack on all the people of France and Britain.

Anyone who thinks they can terrorise us is wrong.

No act of violence will make our convictions or our values waver

Merci, Madame President.

(IN ENGLISH) France is our oldest ally.

The French and the British governments

stand shoulder to shoulder.

There will be no hiding place.

(PEOPLE CHATTERING INDISTINCTLY)

Hello, Matis Garnier, Head of Counter Terrorism.

I'm leading the task force.

- Zara Taylor, MI6. - Please.

So, you have been seconded to our team.

I understand that MI6 are to get full access to the investigation.

Well, the President and Prime Minister

have asked us to work together, so that's what we'll do.

Our first priority is to identify everyone involved in the attack.

(CONTINUES IN FRENCH) Ladies and gentlemen,

let me introduce you to Zara Taylor, MI6.

(IN ENGLISH) Zara, perhaps you could start.

Yeah, er...

Er, that's Alex Clark. He served with Pearce in Afghanistan.

Thanks. He was an embassy security guard for about six months.

What do we know about the others?

LUCAS: They all served with Pierce in the Foreign Legion.

Apart from one. Freja Karlsson.

She was Swedish Special Forces

until she got kicked out for assaulting an officer.

And she's worked as a private military contractor

for dictators, cartels...

What's her connection to Pierce?

LUCAS: She doesn't have one. Not that we can find.

And what about the weapons recovered from the Embassy?

They've had their serial numbers filed down.

Forensics were able to recover one of them.

It's been traced to an arms dealer, Karim Hassan.

He's our lead to Pearce. We gotta find this guy.

I'll find you a desk, okay?

So, you're not needed in HR?

- Think they've got it covered. - Hmm.

I don't get it.

Why would Pearce blame Philippe and Rowan?

It was bad intelligence.

Is that what the Minister told you?

I just spoke to someone who worked with Rowan in Afghanistan.

Pearce had stopped following orders. He went rogue.

Rowan and Philippe decided that the best way to deal with Pearce

would be to betray him to the Taliban.

It sucks being lied to, doesn't it?

(PHONE RINGING OUT)

- Bradley? - Yeah.

Hey. Uh... I need you to get a hold of

Vincent Taleb's military service record

Vincent Taleb. Right.

- Coming your way. - Thanks.

(SINGING INDISTINCTLY ON VIDEO)

(CONVERSING IN FRENCH) He's younger than my son.

(MOBILE PHONE RINGS)

We need to find out who's supplying them.

Kids firing our RPGs.

This is how we lose our export license.

I'm going to need the room. Thank you.

The attack at the British Embassy.

It was Jacob Pearce.

He shot Rowan right in front of me.

Pearce can't prove anything. There's no evidence.

He doesn't care about the evidence!

If he knows you're involved.

You are next on his list.

(PHONE BEEPS OFF)

FREJA: (IN ENGLISH) We need to go.

Chloe? Chloe?

(CONVERSING IN FRENCH) You okay?

No, I'm not.

My Dad says I can't stay with him.

He wants to protect you.

When he's on his own, he drinks too much.

He won't be on his own. Don't worry.

You'll keep him safe, right?

You'll keep him safe.

Yes, I promise.

Go on.

- Chloe? - PEARCE: (IN ENGLISH) Minister...

You managed to get away from me.

But now you're gonna wish you hadn't.

(SPEAKING FRENCH) Chloe, it's going to be alright.

(IN ENGLISH) Please don't hurt her. I'll do anything.

PEARCE: Lock the door.

- Okay. - Open the bottom right hand drawer

of your desk. You'll see a book.

Open it.

Pick it up.

Pick it up.

- You love your daughter, Minister? - Yes.

You'd do anything to keep her safe?

Just tell me what do you want me to do? Please.

I want you to put the gun to your head and pull the trigger.

(CHLOE SCREAMS)

Either you blow your brains out or we blow Chloe's brains out.

(SPEAKS FRENCH) Chloe, it's going to be alright, it's alright.

Philippe?

PEARCE: (IN ENGLISH) You're very good at choosing who lives and who dies.

- Remember? - (KNOCKING ON DOOR)

I'll count you in. Ten...

(DOOR RATTLING)

- Six... Five... - (BANGING ON DOOR)

Philippe...

- Call an ambulance! - (CHLOE WHIMPERING ON VIDEO)

Philippe...

Chloe, Chloe, look at me. Look at me.

It's going to be alright.

- PEARCE: You're the man who shot me. - Let her go.

Let her go!

You can find her at 71 Rue Didienne.

Now you do something for me.

You tell your bosses that I'll be in touch.

(THRILLING MUSIC PLAYING)

(SPEAKING FRENCH) Are you ok?

It's ok.

Are you injured? You're okay?

It's okay. It's over.

Okay.

Okay, gently, gently. It'll be okay. It'll be okay.

- (SOBBING) - It's over.
