[percussive music playing]

[Orlick] Here's all you need to know.

[Nadia] Mason took Paulo.

He's gonna use him

as leverage to get Abby back.

[Celine] And that crazy b*tch took Edison.

-How does this play out?
-We make a trade.

I get my wife. They get you.

[Paulo] You've brought only pain and death

to everyone who loved you.

And your daughters will wonder

why the world didn't allow them

the chance to k*ll you themself.

-You're safe now.
-Am I?

[grunting]

Go!

-Ow!
-You're hit.

I'm fine.

Abby, you okay?

You mean Celeste?

[intense music playing]

-[Abby] Get off me!
-[Kyle] Calm down.

[grunts] How could you have
done that to me?!

-Mason did this to you.
-Ugh! f*ck off.

-[Dahlia] Where are we going?
-[Kyle] Just drive!

But Kyle knew. Didn't you? You knew!

Home's gonna be compromised.

Just get us out of the city!

-Where?!
-What does it matter?!

[all grunting]

[eerie music playing]

[grunting weakly]

♪ ♪

[Hutch] What is there to talk about?

Mason k*lled the m*therf*cker.
Which is really

a huge b*ner k*ller for me and Celine.

-He knew that was our thing.
-Right.

-Paulo can still win this thing.
-[Hutch] How?

He's stuffed in the kitchen closet

with his brains leaking
into a box of Coco Pops.

Paulo can still win this thing
because Joana

will see his plan through.

She'll k*ll the Russian president

and pay his number two for the satellites.

We have 30 hours
before the Russian president

is assassinated at the G8.

[Hutch] You said you made that
Manchurian Candidate code so tough

to hack it would take them years
to figure it out.

With a black hat like Edison,
they'll do it in no time.

Whoever has the chip
implanted in them, Manticore

-will be able to control them…
-[Hutch] A chip?

What are you talking about?

I blocked the software
that accesses the chip.

Hacker lady goes in,
unblocks the access to the software,

Manticore gets their assassin.

I feel like The Manchurian Candidate
was not nearly this hard to follow.

-Nothing could be more simple.
-[Hutch] You make things

way more complicated than they actually

-need to be.
-[Orlick] What the f*ck?

Okay, the assassin could be any one
of the hundreds of people present there.

And the G8 is taking place

with more security than the Kremlin
and the White House.

And despite all this,
we have to stop the k*ller.

[somber music playing]

Your father is gone.

He had an accident.

♪ ♪

Eyes forward.

Unless you want to lose them.

Twenty-seven hours.

That's impossib--

[whimpers]

I'm sure your daughter's probably at home
waiting for your safe return.

If you don't fix this, I will send
one of my people in there to douse her

-in gasoline
-[crying]

and set her on f*cking fire.

Twenty-seven hours.

[gasps]

Is Abby okay?

Mild concussion, but she's fine.

-My mother?
-I stitched her up best I could.

She'll live, unfortunately.

That's for tasing me.

That's for lying to me.

Are we done?

[short chuckle] You feel better?

I feel great.

You stupid little b*tch.
What were you thinking?

I was thinking I needed to save my wife,
which I did.

I k*lled Paulo. Why the f*ck am I tied up?

Because I don't trust you.

The assassin's in motion.

Gonna hit the G8 tomorrow.

Why you telling me?

Because the consensus is, apparently,
you're needed for this.

Figure out who you are.
You can't be both of them.

One will win.

Finally got me into your boudoir,
you old bag.

The stuff of my nightmares.

Oh, really, this is too pathetic

a way to k*ll me, even for you.

Yes, I know.
I imagined something quite different.

Like a stake through the heart.

Then you would combust
into a million bats.

It's a funny thing
about faking your own death.

When you're actually dying, it's a b*tch.

Isn't it?

You owe me

a tooth.

And you owe me a husband.

And a son.

And a life.

You took it all away from me.

And you don't think that leaving

a five-year-old child
and coming back years later

and manipulating him
to m*rder thousands

of his colleagues had anything to do
with him breaking away from you?

He was broken by you when he was
five years old and saw his father

burning to death in his bed.

Broken again years later at 23,

when you took him under your wing
and made him believe

that violence against those

inconvenient to your idea of progress

was somehow justice.

Maybe I felt guilty.

Maybe I was trying
to point him down the right path.

You can't point down the right path

with your hands covered in blood.

But really, it's very sweet of you.

But you are a poor imitation of a father.

[wistful music playing]

I loved him, too, you know.

Thomas.

Well, apparently,

not enough to spare him.

-It was an error.
-It was my life.

So, either just get on with this
or tell me this:

if you're not here to k*ll me

and you're not here to gloat...

why are you here, Bernard?

You good?

Well, I didn't k*ll her, so...

-been better.
-[Dahlia] On the contrary, I think

this is the start
of a beautiful friendship, Bernard.

I'll leave you to it.

You okay?

The pain's nothing compared to having you.

You were a fat w*nk*r of a baby.

I begged them for a C-section,
but they forbid it.

Said natural's best for the child.

Wonder if they saw you now
if they'd agree.

Your wife stitched me up good.

Nadia.

Thank you for helping me get my wife back.

Abby.

I'm sorry for what I did to you.

For what I made you.

But there's still time

for you to choose who you are.

What you are.

[footsteps approaching]

-[Mason] All right, look, everyone--
-Already bored.

No one cares.

Don't look at me.

All right. All world leaders will arrive

at the summit tomorrow at 11:00 a.m.

There are checkpoints all over,
so no weapon should be fully exposed.

Because once you're inside,
with the tech that Joana has,

she can turn anybody there into a k*ller--

the journalists, the diplomats,

politicians, security guards-- anybody.

She wants to send a message to the world.

So, I think that she is going to k*ll him
at the press conference.

This is insane, right? I mean,

you all agree this is totally insane?

Even for you, Bernard.

It's a seven-hour journey,
so we need to go now.

I need to put Abby somewhere safe first.

[Celine in French] Ah, yes of course.

[in English] And we should just trust you
that that's where you're going?

[Hutch] Yeah, we've heard
that one before, buddy.

And usually it ends up
with us getting dicked over.

And somebody's brains all over your shoes.

[Nadia] I can go with them.

Make sure it stays on track.

Yes. Fine.

I'm not going anywhere with you.
With either of you.

You stay here, they'll find you,
they'll k*ll you.

Then what's Hendrix gonna do?

[tense music playing]

♪ ♪

You would have done the same
for your wife.

Is that right?

Because a week ago, I called my wife

and I told her that was the last time
I was going to speak with her.

-Do you know why?
-Tell me.

Because the only way
I can do what I need to do

is to shed myself

of everyone I care about.

That's why.

Don't ask me to appreciate your sacrifice.

I'm not gonna play "blood on my hands"
Olympics with you.

-You were gonna let Abby die.
-Yeah.

As I would have let Joe, Val,

you or me.

Because the alternative
is exactly the same.

We fail, they die anyway.

What do you want from me?

Remorse.

[gentle music playing]

I'm sorry.

-No, you're not.
-Yes, I am.

I know what I took from you
when you were a boy.

I know it only too well.

It haunts me every day.

And I'm sorry.

Very.

But maybe what we do tomorrow

can start to set things right.

There's a cottage about a mile away
from the safehouse.

You can take Abby there.

And then I need Mason Kane, one last time.

Hey, I didn't mean to rile you up
back in London.

And Rome. And Tuscany. And France.

That's all right. Don't worry about it.

Just a little on edge,
if I'm being honest.

I've been thinking...

we might not win.

We might not be able to stop 'em.

If they f*ck up the whole world
and destroy everything

and the sh*t really hits the fan...

...what happens to the people
we care about?

I don't even know what I'm trying to say.

Just… I guess

you all have family.

Well, you got her.

[pensive music playing]

You've done a good job protecting her.

We can protect the ones we love
from being k*lled,

but the most important thing

is to protect the good

that's inside of those we love

from being k*lled.

You're doing that.

Keep doing it.

So we were friends?

We were.

Close?

Mm-hmm.

Were you in on it-- what he did to me?

No.

Then why didn't you tell me who I was?

I really didn't know how.

[foreboding music playing]

[knocking]

Mr. Prime Minister.

-Where is Mr. Braga?
-I'll be quick.

I have put 12 billion
in an escrow account.

Once we k*ll President Aronov
and you've transferred control

of your satellites to us,
the contingencies will be lifted.

I have my own contingency.

And what would that be?

These satellites
are the most powerful on Earth.

Their surveillance is unparalleled.

After the transfer, I don't exist.

Me, my wife, my children,

we are exempt from your prying eyes.

We remain free.

Come on.

Good girl.

That that's part of me.

Everything I'm doing is for you.

I will do anything for you.

I love you.

Do you remember the weekend
we went to Portland?

We stayed at the Marriott
and got hammered in the parking lot.

Yeah.

Do you remember I left, got another room?

I mean, you were pretty f*cking wasted,
so I don't think you'd remember.

But, yeah, I left. Um, and the reason
that I did was because...

[thunder rumbling]

When we were in bed, you said her name.

Nadia.

You whispered it in your sleep.

[somber music playing]

That was the first time.

It happened... after that
a dozen more times

over the years,
and I should have told you,

but I told myself I didn't know how.

And I tried to believe otherwise, but
I always felt that, when you looked at me,

when you really looked at me...

...you were somehow hoping you'd see her.

I don't think you can blame it all on him.

On Mason.

[thunder rumbling]

All right, you lock the door.

If anyone comes,
doesn't matter who it is, you sh**t first.

Understand?

When I get back, we'll talk.

I won't be here when you get back.

-What do you mean?
-You go do this,

I'm gonna go get Hendrix, and I'll
take her someplace you'll never find us.

I go do this,

-and we can get back to our lives.
-No.

That's what you said a month ago.

You'd finish the mission, we'd go back
to our lives. That's what you said.

Here we are again.
So I can see how this repeats.

It'll just be one more time.

One more go.

One more mission,
and I am kept from my kid.

Off grid, stashed somewhere
until you come back for me.

Until you say so.

And you and Nadia are off
saving the world again.

And Hendrix and I, we give up everything

so that you don't have to...
to let go of anything.

Do you understand?

-God, it's not like that at all.
-Isn't it?

[thunder rumbling]

[Abby] Why'd you come back?

I was pulled back in.

Or was it him?

Were you two drawn back to each other
to save the world? It's a perfect cover.

[Nadia] It's not a cover.

Everything I'm doing is for my daughter,
and that's it.

Do you love him?

You may hate him, but do you love him?

The least you can do is tell me the truth.

I wish I didn't.

[tense music playing]

And do you love her?

I'm not doing this.

-Why not?
-Because it's cruel.

The truth is cruel.

I just risked everything
to save your life.

Do you love Nadia?

I love you.

[dramatic music playing]

Okay.

Then we go now, we go get Hendrix,
we do not look back.

You can't have both.

You can't be both.

Okay.

Okay. Let's go get our little girl.

-Okay.
-Yeah.

Okay. Okay.
