[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.

f*ck off.

[IN ENGLISH] Don't sh**t,
please! Okay! Okay! Don't sh**t!

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]

[g*n FIRES]

Drop it.

Who are you?

I'm going to take out my ID.

Don't sh**t me.

Take it out slowly and I won't.

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

Can I have my g*n now?

Sure.

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

- You work here?
- I work in HR.

[SPEAKING FRENCH]

[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.

[CONVERSING IN FRENCH]

[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,
r*ped, 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, k*ll the bad guys.

- Try not to sh**t me.
- That's incredibly helpful.

- Thank you.
- [LOCK CLICKS OPEN]

Okay, when you hear the
sh**ting, k*ll the lines. Here.

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

[SOFTLY] Please...

You want to urinate?

Piss? sh*t yourself?

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

Don't be. Just let it go.

It's charging. Did
you crash your car?

ZARA: No. The
embassy was attacked.

- [WATER RUNNING]
- This is crazy.

Did you see anyone get k*lled?

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]

Madame La Presidente. Prime Minister.
[IN ENGLISH] They are ready for you.

[SPEAKING FRENCH]

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]

[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.

But now you're

[SPEAKING FRENCH]

[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 g*n to
your head and pull the trigger.
