- Do you remember me, Minister?
- You are Jacob Pearce.

JACOB: I want to show you
something. This is what they do to you

- inside a Taliban jail.
- Please, I have a daughter.

My men also had daughters.
They had sons, they had wives,

they had families,
and you betrayed them.

And they were slaughtered.
And that is because of you.

Who are you?

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

- [PEOPLE SCREAMING]
- [b*mb EXPLODING]

[SPEAKING FRENCH]

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

was to betray him to the Taliban.
Sucks being lied to you, doesn't it?

Matis Garnier, Head
of Counter Terrorism.

- I'm leading the Task Force.
- Zara Taylor, MI6.

And what about the weapons
recovered from the embassy?

Forensics were able
to recover one of them.

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

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

JACOB: My name is Jacob
Pearce. Captain Jacob Pearce.

I'm a soldier with the
French Foreign Legion.

I want people out
there to know my story.

I want them to know the truth.

What was done to me. And
what was done to my men.

VINCENT: He's here.

- Do you have him?
- ZARA ON RADIO: I've got him.

Look at this. Who is he kidding?

VINCENT: Well, maybe
he likes strawberries?

What, an arms dealer
travels all the way across Paris

to buy the ingredients
of a fruit salad?

[PEOPLE CHATTERING INDISTINCTLY]

He's handed the
backpack off. Stay with him.

Vincent! What the hell
happened at the market?

Now, we have a dead arms
dealer and a civilian in the hospital

with concussion!

I get you both transferred
to the task force

and this is how you repay me?

It was a genuine mistake.
Very similar backpacks.

- Similar backpacks, huh?
- ZARA: Yeah.

JACOB: Three. Two.

[SPEAKING FRENCH]

- [DOOR CLOSES]
- Hello?

JACOB: I've just been
reading the KMI's annual report.

You're making a fortune selling
weapons to very bad people.

What do you want?

JACOB: Hard to put a
price on the lives of 23 men.

Six years of
imprisonment and t*rture.

One hundred million euros
should just about cover it.

You want me to pay
you 100 million euros?

That's the same profit you
made supplying weapons

to the Afghan Government.
Seems fair to me.

Why would I pay you anything?

Because if you don't, I'll start
k*lling people you know until you do.

And then we'll all see how
much value you place on the lives

of your family, your
friends, and your colleagues.

I have a sn*per on a
rooftop somewhere in Paris.

He's gonna k*ll someone
very close to you

unless you agree to
pay me the money I ask.

[SPEAKING FRENCH]

[IN ENGLISH] I wonder who
it will be. It could be anyone.

[TENSE INSTRUMENTAL
MUSIC PLAYING]

But if you pay
me, they will live.

[IN FRENCH]

[IN ENGLISH] You're bluffing.
I'm not paying you a single euro.

JACOB: Well, that was a mistake.

- [g*n FIRES]
- [GLASS BREAKING]

[DRAMATIC INSTRUMENTAL
MUSIC PLAYING]

I did say it would be
someone very close to you.

There's a link in
the email I sent you.

Click on that when
you're ready to pay.

MATIS: Pearce is
threatening to keep k*lling

Moulin's family and
friends until he pays up.

Do we know why Pearce
is targeting Moulin?

A minister in the Afghan
government stole some money

that was supposed
to pay for a hospital.

Pearce kidnapped the
Minister and held him hostage

until the money was returned.
The Afghans were furious.

They threatened to cancel a defence
contract with Moulin's company.

So, Moulin put pressure on Philippe
to betray Pearce to the Taliban?

You think Moulin
bribed Philippe?

Moulin denies it,
but I think he's lying.

He's given us a list of
his family and friends.

We're warning anyone
who may be a target.

LUCAS: We've been scanning
the CCTV from the area.

This is from the street
next to the market.

And this is from the
building the sn*per fired from.

It's the same guy.

[SPEAKING FRENCH]

[TENSE INSTRUMENTAL

FREJA: [IN ENGLISH]
You want to start?

[CAMERA BEEPS]

JACOB: There was one guard,
he said his name was Hassan.

You could see in his eyes he
enjoyed inflicting pain on others.

Some days he would beat
me, t*rture me, r*pe me.

Other days, he would
just want me to hold him.

[SPEAKING FRENCH]

JACOB: [IN ENGLISH] Philippe Bardin,
Rowan Alexander and Pascal Moulin

betrayed me and my
men to the Taliban.

My men...

all my men,

were m*rder*d for
political and financial gain.

[PEOPLE CHATTERING INDISTINCTLY]

- [IN ENGLISH] Do I get one of those?
- No.

You get one of these.

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

[HORN HONKING]

You okay?

Why were you
discharged from the army?

I read your service record.
It said you disobeyed orders.

You read my service record?

Yeah. If I'm gonna work with
someone, I need to know who they are.

And I can find out anyway,
so you may as well tell me.

We were in the hills,
watching a compound.

I... I see a Boko Haram
commander arriving.

I light the target with a
laser and call in an airstrike.

But then, his family arrived.

The kids are running
around, laughing.

I radio it in, but they
don't call off the strike.

So, I redirect the laser
to a derelict building.

The missiles go in.

And the only thing
they k*ll is a goat.

And they kicked you out?

[TEXT MESSAGE BEEPS]

I need to go meet a
friend. Can you drop me off?

- [MESSAGE SENT TONE SOUNDS]
- Yeah, sure.

- Your friend is in there?
- Yeah. It's all good.

See you tomorrow!

- Don't.
- [CAR STARTS]

Sorry.

- [BOTH STRAINING]

I'm gonna close the door.

ZARA: Should we take these off?

Come on, my love.

[SIGHS]

- Love you.
- [GRUNTS]

She keeps telling me she's quit.

I mean, I get mad at her, but
I'm lying to her too, you know?

- She doesn't know what I do.
- You've never told her?

She's an addict.

I'm risking my job
just being with her.

[GRUNTS]

And yeah, I know
I should leave her.

I love her. [CHUCKLES]

So, yeah, now you know my
personal life is a total mess.

Well, I'm going
home to an empty flat

to drink a warm beer
because my fridge is broken.

- So...
- [CHUCKLES] Okay.

Suddenly, my life
doesn't seem so bad.

You want me to stay?

Uh, I think we've done
enough sharing for one night.

[CHUCKLING] See ya.

Hey, uh... Thanks.

What are you gonna do?

- Right now?
- Hmm.

I'm gonna focus on my job and pretend
my girlfriend isn't a drug addict.

That seems healthy.

[TEXT MESSAGE BEEPS]

- [SIGHS]
- Everything okay?

Yeah.

MATIS: Zara, Vincent, come here.

[PEOPLE CHATTERING INDISTINCTLY]

Shut the door.

I just spoke with my
contact at the CIA.

A few weeks after Pearce was
rescued, he checked himself out

of the military hospital
and flew to Pakistan.

While Pearce was in Lahore,

someone planted an
expl*sive device under his car.

What about the CIA? They
know who was responsible?

- That's all they've got.
- Someone was trying to stop Pearce

revealing how he was
betrayed to the Taliban?

You think it could
be Philippe Bardin?

Maybe. I talked with
the Security Services.

They're claiming they
don't know anything about it.

I mean, the Security Services
aren't gonna admit they're responsible

- unless they have to.
- Mmm-hmm.

Pearce wasn't
using his car that day.

An Afghan national,
Amina Sayyid,

and her two children
were k*lled in the expl*si*n.

ZARA: Was he in a
relationship with her?

MATIS: It looks that way, yes.

[TENSE INSTRUMENTAL

ZARA: Well, it certainly
explains why Pearce is so pissed.

PASCAL: Joel?

Joel?

Joel?

around the other side.

[PEOPLE CHATTERING INDISTINCTLY]

VINCENT: I don't have a shot.

Okay. You see
the ice cream cart?

- [g*n FIRES]
- ZARA: I see it.

You need to break
cover and run for it.

You want me to run
towards him? Are you insane?

The trees will block his view.
He'll have to change position,

and I'll have a shot.

- [g*n FIRES]
- [GRUNTING]

You want to stay there?

ZARA: I'm not loving my
options. VINCENT: So, run fast.

- [g*n FIRES]

[JACOB COUGHS]

The first time Amina
saw me this way, she...

She tried so hard not to cry.

Didn't want to make
me feel bad, I guess.

Said it didn't matter
what I looked like.

Didn't change anything,
how she felt about me.

How she felt about us.

Very strange.

If anyone else would have said
that, I wouldn't have believed them,

but she was very honest.

She was very kind.

Thank you.

Pascal Moulin just clicked on
the link in the email you sent.

It seems like he's ready to pay.

Huh.

My people need to know
before we do anything.

Don't want to upset
them now, do we?

No, you really don't.

[TENSE INSTRUMENTAL

- [CHATTERING INDISTINCTLY]
- [YAWNS]

You know, this kind of
operation costs serious money.

How is Pearce funding it?
He hasn't got a pot to piss in.

Pot to piss in?

It means someone who's broke.

Must be getting the
money from somewhere.

The IT guys hacked the
sn*per's burner phone.

Pearce was
messaging instructions.

One of the messages refers
to a guy called Cedric Duval.

- Who is he?
- Don't know. Trying to identify him.

Thanks.
