Take that, and you tell them
Tell all of them in that stupid
fucking singsong voice you all do,

T-Ten seconds?
To sit down and shut up!
Otherwise, I'll do another one.
Ladies and gentlemen
[BREATHES SHAKILY]
I've just been told
that you have ten seconds
to return to your seats.
That's ten seconds to
return to your seats.
[CLAIRE] For thine is the
kingdom, the power, and the glory.
[ARTHUR] If you fail to do this

[OVERLAPPING RADIO CHATTER]
["LONELY SOUL" PLAYING]
[RADIO CHATTER]
[ALICE] Yeah. Okay, I'm
gonna I'm gonna explain this
once more, okay?
Yeah. [STAMMERS]
My chances of getting an answer out
of the British government, Betina,
are about as good as yours.
Yeah. Yes, I've passed that on.
And I've passed that on.
Betina, ye But this is
above my pay grade, you see.
I don't do this sort of thing.
I do the school run, I buy
a meal deal for my lunch
and I make sure the planes
land in the right order.
And then it's home,
sleep, repeat. [STAMMERS]
Then we'll we'll both have
to just keep passing the
messages higher, won't we?
That's all we can do.
That and stay in touch.
Have a lovely day, Betina. Bye-bye.
[GROANS] Romanian ATC.
- You get a meal deal?
- This is not good. You know that, right?
This is very quickly becoming not good.
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
[SIGHS]
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
[ROMANIAN AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLER]
Kingdom 2-9, how do you read?
This is Bucharest. Please respond.
Kingdom 2-9, this is Bucharest.
How do you read? Kingdom 2-9,
if you hear this transmission
[GRUNTING]
[ROMANIAN AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLER]
Kingdom 2-9, if you fail to respond,
we will be forced to take action.
This situation will escalate.
Phones off, or on silent,
or whatever it is that means you'll
be looking at the foreign secretary
and not them for the next two minutes.
Airplane mode.
Okay. Go.
Right. So, the plane is a Kingdom
Airbus A330, 216 people on board.
The vast majority are UK citizens,
due over central London in about
Less than four hours.
Which someone has rather
ominously put on screen.
Yeah. So, the plane took off in Dubai,
it's had intermittent contact
with ATC. Now, over Romania.
And these are the people who
don't match their passports?
Yep. Five of them.
They could be from anywhere. We
still don't know what this is.
Romanian interior minister
calling repeatedly.
[FOREIGN SECRETARY] Find
out who these people are.
Um, do we tell Number Ten, or
Find out who they are,
what they're doing and why,
and then we'll start
making and taking calls.
[NASIR'S UNCLE COUGHING]
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
[IN ARABIC] Listen
Clear this mess up.
Do it quietly.
Then you can give him his medicine.
- [COUGHING RESUMES]
- [ALEXANDER SIGHS]
[SIGHS]
Tell him what happened
wasn't because of us. Okay?
Yussuf.
[IN ARABIC] He says it wasn't our fault.
Tell him to shut his mouth
before I shut it for him.
she's in the bit between
business and the normal seats.
It's the best we could do, yeah?
We drag her right to the back,
people are gonna start freaking out.
You said no one gets killed.
They were out of control.
- We had it covered.
- Okay.
Then if it wasn't then, it
would have been the next time.
It was getting worse. Now look.
[HIJACKER] We're back in control.
We're doing this for Edgar, remember?
Edgar and John. So we do as we're
told, exactly as we're told, yeah?
[HIJACKER 2 GROANS]
Go to the cabin crew.
Keep it on the down-low,
get some first aid.
Hey.
[SNIFFS]
[PHONE RINGING]
- How'd it go?
- [MARSHA] This is what happens
when something goes better
than you could have hoped.
Instead of going home on the
Tube like a normal human being
[DANIEL] You buy things.
I'm not buying things.
Oh, that's the adrenaline.
[MARSHA] I'm just looking at
things I can't afford. [SIGHS]
What time are you back?
Daniel?
Uh, I got a feeling
it's gonna be a late one.
[MARSHA] I think I might
buy something for Kai.
Just as a thank-you
for being good about us.
- [DANIEL] What?
- Well, no.
Obviously, I know he
hasn't been good about us,
but it's just another step to
making him realize I'm with you
and [INHALES SHARPLY]
that's not gonna change.
There's no way back for his dad.
There you were, calling
him a good negotiator.
Here to see DCI Gahfoor.
- [MARSHA] See you later then.
- Okay.
[PHONE BUZZING]
This is Marsha.
[COURIER] I have a
package for Sam Nelson.
Could you just confirm
your address for me, please?
- Address?
- I have flat 30, Berwick House.
- Is that correct?
- Yeah, but
[COURIER] And will there be someone
there to sign for the package?
[MARSHA] He's not gonna be there.
[COURIER] Well, if there's no answer,
I'll just leave the
package with the neighbor.
Okay? Thank you.
That's Nelson's address confirmed.
Uh, it's all right, it's
all right. He's with me.
Wrong place for all this, isn't it?
Yeah. Well, this is where
we were when it started.
We haven't had time to move since.
One person calls you while you're
trying to buy a cup of coffee
and before you know it [GRUNTS]
Erica, this is Daniel. I want
him joining the suspect ID checks.
Has he done a full induction?
So, if you can find him a computer.
Anyone on your system
with a criminal record
known to have visited a
UAE in the past six months.
Is that the foreign secretary?
Currently.
Look at that, Fred.
What do you say to the kind man?
- Why do you have drawings on your neck?
- No, not that. We don't say that.
- [SIGHS]
- No, it's a good question.
Well [CHUCKLES] thank you.
He'll give it his best shot.
Won't you, mate? [CHUCKLES]
'Cause that's a concern right now?
[KATE] She went to find Lizzy.
That woman.
I know, love.
Don't touch on there. I'll
have to do all that again now.
[BREATHING DEEPLY]
Lift it so we can see.
[HIJACKER GROANS]
- [DEEVIA] You want me to?
- [HIJACKER] No.
Uh, yeah. Go on.
[SIGHS]
- [GROANS, GRUNTS]
- Sorry.
[STRAINING, SUCKS TEETH]
- [BREATHING HEAVILY]
- [GASPS] What happened?
- Uh, in the fight, someone kicked me.
- Kicked you?
I don't know. What's it matter?
Hold it. Stop the blood. I'll
go see what else I can find.
[SAM] You've not been
kicked. You've been stabbed.
- You need a doctor.
- No one's asking you.
[HIJACKER GROANS]
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
Do you think there'll
be one on the plane?
Might as well ask.
[NASIR'S UNCLE COUGHS]
[GROANS]
[BREATHING HEAVILY, GROANING]
[SIGHS]
You're gonna need something
stronger than that.
We don't have anything else.
Anything. To tie it up.
This is what we have. This.
If I magically had something
else, then I'd use it.
Okay. As long as you're not
holding anything back.
- What's that supposed to mean?
- [BREATHING HEAVILY]
It means you're doing your best to help.
[CABIN BELL]
[DEEVIA] Ladies and gentlemen,
if there is a doctor on board,
please make yourself known.
Please put your call light on, and
one of us will come and collect you.
That's a doctor or a
medical professional. Please.
[CABIN BELL]
[WHISPERS] Don't you dare.
- But wha
- David.
[GROANING, BREATHING HEAVILY]
[SAM] You're bleeding out. Look.
I've got a son your age.
What's that got to do with this? Huh?
Nothing. So, shut up.
Look, I'm not gonna just sit here
and let you bleed to death, okay?
I don't care who you are.
- [HIJACKER PANTING, GROANING]
- Just not gonna do that.
You need to stop talking.
[HIJACKER GROANS]
[GROANS]
[DEEVIA] Okay. [SIGHS]
- You need to hold it tighter.
- Can you help me?
- Can he help me?
- No.
Look, mate, she needs someone
to hold it so she can stick it.
- You're not a doctor.
- [SAM] No one's a doctor,
but she can't hold it and
stick it at the same time.
[GROANS] Well, we'll get Terry.
Terry?
Uh, I can't see Terry.
Look, all we're trying to
do is slow down the bleeding.
But if you don't trust me,
you can keep my hands tied
and just cut me away from this.
[GROANS]
[HIJACKER BREATHING HEAVILY]
- [DEEVIA GRUNTS]
- Oh.
- [GRUNTS]
- Okay. Now, I'm gonna put my hand
- and just push down, okay?
- [HIJACKER GROANING]
All right. Go.
[SAM] All right.
Steady here. Just get it round,
like, three or four times.
[GRUNTING, GROANING]
- [GRUNTS]
- That's it.
- All right?
- Yeah.
Okay. Can you sit up?
Can you sit up, yeah?
There you go.
All right.
[GROANING] Ah, fuck.
It's all right.
You gotta breathe. Breathe out.
- [EXHALES SHARPLY]
- There you go.
[GROANS]
[SIGHS] I'll go get water.
[HIJACKER BREATHING HEAVILY, SNIFFS]
We're updating his team
and their ambassador,
but he's insisting he
speaks to you direct.
Sorescu. Darius Sorescu.
Romania's interior minister.
[SIGHS]
Darius.
[DARIUS] Louise Aitchison?
It is. We met in Geneva. I don't
know if you remember. It was
[DARIUS] We have a serious problem.
We have an unresponsive plane
heading straight for Bucharest.
- Yes.
- [DARIUS] We need answers.
[HIJACKER GRUNTING, PANTING]
[CHUCKLES]
Clever. [SWALLOWS]
- What's that?
- You. You think you're clever.
You gonna be nice to me. Is that it?
Make sure I get painkillers,
doctors and that.
So, what, I'll trust you?
So you can get in me
head and get information?
- Never thought about it.
- It's not gonna work, mate. [SIGHS]
- Now that you mention it
- [HIJACKER] Yeah. Not with me.
No. I can see that about you.
- I don't slip up like that.
- [SAM] No, exactly.
What just happened just
then, it's just a one-off.
You know, like, when
you told me Terry's name?
- No.
- [SAM] That was a one-off.
Doesn't matter. It's not like I could do
anything with the information, mate.
- Exactly.
- [SAM] Exactly.
[BREATHING HEAVILY, SIGHS]
- Do you wanna know my tactics? My plan?
- [BREATHING HEAVILY]
I just wanna get home, mate.
[SIGHS]
I don't wanna help you.
But if it buys me a bit of credit,
if it means the next time
you're waving that thing about,
you focus on the guy next to
me and not me, then guess what?
- You'll do it, won't you?
- Yeah, that's right.
[GROANS] You're not helping me.
No.
You're just helping
yourself. [SNIFFS, SIGHS]
And I'm no different from anyone
else on this plane. Including you.
I just wanna get home and see my family.
See my son. See his mum.
Anything else would be a lie.
He's threatening military action.
But we take all that with
a pinch of salt, don't we?
Well, no, not necessarily.
I mean, they might be allies,
but there's nothing we're giving them
that's gonna help put them at ease.
So, if they're worried,
we should be worried.
No, we need to speak
to the PM and do it now.
Otherwise, one day, when
people are poring over this,
they'll wanna know what took us so long.
- Did you see that? Live arse-covering?
- That's not what I'm doing.
That's where his head goes.
Genuinely, his first thought.
Not how he protects the
people on the plane
- Louise.
- how he protects himself.
Extraordinary.
Listen, we need to show
that this is British.
British plane, British passengers.
We are the target, not them.
Keep going.
[ALICE] This is live from ATC Bucharest.
Who am I speaking to?
Alice. The controller
who first flagged this.
You can see our flight just as
before, but now, just next to it
- An X.
- [ALICE] an X,
because it has no
commercial flight number.
[CLICKS TONGUE] Meaning it's
a private, unregistered
[INHALES SHARPLY]
or, most likely, military aircraft.
[ALICE] And if you look
closely, it's not the only one.
[FIGHTER JETS ROARING]
[CABIN BELL]
Close all the blinds.
- Get your fucking blinds down!
- [HIJACKER] The blinds.
- [HIJACKER] Close them
- Everybody, blinds down now!
and keep them closed.
- You heard what she said! Move! Now! Down!
- [JAMIE] Blinds down!
Shut every last fucking blind! Do it!
[HIJACKER] Face forward.
Do not communicate. There
is nothing for it to see.
You heard him! You at the
back, close the blinds!
Kingdom 2-9, you are flying
in airspace protected by NATO.
Kingdom 2-9, if unable to
respond, wing-rock to acknowledge.
[HIJACKER] There's a
plan in place for this.
If this happens, we ignore
'em. That's what we said.
They can't do anything.
They can shoot us down.
What? A British plane?
Over some random country?
They'd start a war.
And the further west we
go, the safer it gets.
We will be just fine.
[FIGHTER ESCORT 1] Kingdom
2-9, if you do not respond,
we will be forced to take action.
There'll be a plan for
that. [BREATHING HEAVILY]
The people who ordered this,
they got a plan for everything.
Can I tell you something?
Yeah.
That thing you stuck on, it's
not working. [BREATHING HEAVILY]
Feels like the bleeding's getting worse.
[GRUNTS, PANTING, GROANING]
[WHISPERING] Hey. That's a Eurofighter.
Meaning it may well be NATO.
[COLETTE] That's good, isn't it?
Britain's NATO. They're on our side.
But we're not the people
they're protecting.
We're what they're
protecting people from.
We have to do something!
Communicate. Get them a message.
- Stay. Stay.
- [SHUSHES]
[WHISPERING] Go to the seat
behind. The seat behind.
No, no, no. Stay. Stay.
- [PANTS, SIGHS]
- [ANNA] What are you doing?
- What are
- [SHUSHES]
[FIGHTER ESCORT 2]
Skywatch, this is Mars.
We have visual with a figure
mid-fuselage. Stand by.
Contact is female. Age
around 30. Three-zero.
- [SCREAMS]
- Contact is being attacked.
- [PASSENGERS CLAMORING]
- What did we say to you?
Do not communicate. Don't fuck with me!
You understand? Oy!
Get back!
[COLETTE, ALEXANDER GRUNTING]
Attacker is armed.
Confirmed. Attacker is armed.
- [PASSENGERS CLAMORING]
- [GRUNTING]
[SHOUTS, GRUNTS]
[GRUNTS]
Do not fucking move.
[GRUNTS]
Get back in your seat.
Move it!
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
Sit down.
And don't get up again.
[BREATHES HEAVILY]
We've lost visual.
[SKYWATCH] Copy that. Stand by.
Seeking permission to escalate.
Betina, listen to me.
I'm gonna be honest with you. At
this point, that is the best I can do.
Yes.
[INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER]
Yeah, okay. Very good.
She lost it?
Yeah, she's lost it. And
she's got a point, to be fair.
They've got a non-communicative
passenger plane
heading straight for their capital city.
I mean [SIGHS] if
it was the other way around,
if that plane was coming to London
and it carried on ignoring us,
we'd be shooting it down.
[SIGHS]
[GROANS] I'm gonna die, ain't I?
No, don't say that.
- I am. This is it.
- No. Don't start talking like that. Okay?
As soon as you start talking like
that, your body starts believing it.
You're just like me. You're
gonna go home, all right?
To your family, all right?
To the people you love.
Is this real now?
The people who love you?
Are Are you helping me for real now?
Yeah, just hold still, mate.
[GROANING]
Look at me. I told you,
I've got a son your age.
And if this was happening to him,
I'd want someone to help him too.
[SPLUTTERS, COUGHING]
[GROANS]
Is there a doctor on board, please?
A man needs some help here, please!
[BREATHES SHARPLY]
Uh, ex-excuse me. Could
I speak with you, please?
Anything you wanna say,
you can say from there.
We need to talk to the jets.
[JAMIE] We're not doing that.
If I could just explain to
the chap who's in charge.
"Chap"?
- [SIGHS] The man in charge.
- He's gonna love that.
If I could just explain, please.
It's coming from him,
mate. We're ignoring them.
- That's what he's decided.
- Why?
- Yeah. Why?
- [JAMIE] No.
There's no fucking conversation.
[HUGO] If you're not
gonna change your mind,
what's the harm in
just letting him say it?
He's not saying anything.
He's sitting there, and
he's gonna shut the fuck up!
What's this?
[ROBIN] I-I think we
should talk to the jets.
We're about to fly over Bucharest.
We're heading straight towards it.
So?
Have we spoken with the jets?
- [HIJACKER] No.
- [ROBIN] Communicated at all?
We're not going to Bucharest.
Don't care about Bucharest.
Yeah, but they don't know that, do they?
To them, we're just a
plane with the blinds down
heading straight towards a capital city.
To them, we're an incoming missile.
Please remove your jets.
[DARIUS] Mrs. Aitchison, you
have done nothing to demonstrate
that these people are not
a threat to our country.
You do nothing to help us.
In my position, you would do the same.
- [DOOR OPENS]
- [GASPS]
Prime Minister's office
has been informed.
And told what exactly?
Well, that this is real
and you're leading on it.
Say we're not Romanian.
We've got no interest
or problem with Romania,
or Bucharest or any of that. We're
British. We're going to London.
Uh, NATO fighter aircraft,
this is Kingdom 2-9.
This isn't working. NATO fighter
aircraft, this is Kingdom 2-9.
Can you hear me?
Someone done something to these?
Well?
I didn't wanna come
on this. I told them.
I said [BREATHES SHAKILY] I said,
"I'm I'm not ready for this one."
- [WHIMPERS]
- Shit.
[HIJACKER PANTING, GROANING]
[BREATHES DEEPLY] Go get, um
get medicine or anything, yeah? Go!
Oy. Oy. Hey. What are you
gonna do when we get back?
Hmm? You go first.
You've got to keep talking,
because the talking helps.
All right? Is there, um
Is there, like, a girlfriend?
No? Hey! Friends? Mates?
How about parents? Hey? Mom? Dad?
- Mom. [PANTING]
- Mom? Yeah?
- Dad died.
- I'm sorry to hear that.
Okay, so, your mom's here,
- and that's who you wanna see.
- Elaine.

- That's her name. Elaine.
Oh [CHUCKLES] you
don't got to tell me her name.

phone. [PANTING, GROANING]
Um, yeah. I'll get I'll get
I'll get your phone for you, okay?
Someone had medicine. Yeah?
- In the thawbs.
- In what?
In the white.
- These guys?
- What's happening?
Give me that.
- What's this?
- Insulin. It's for diabetes.
What can it do? Can it
Can it be a painkiller?
Insulin?
We need medicine.
Painkillers, sedatives, anything.
- Stop staring and say something!
- [PASSENGERS GASP, WHIMPERING]
Come on!
Um, hey, you know, the Wi-Fi's on.
So, um, while we're waiting for Terry,
should we call your mom?
- [PANTING] Yeah. Yeah.
- [SAM] Elaine?
And then, um, she can hear your voice.
- We'll try not to worry her. All right?
- [BREATHES HEAVILY]
You can say what you've gotta say.
[BREATHING SHARPLY] Okay. Yeah.
Okay Is it, um, "Mum"?
Yeah? 016 32
Yeah? 960 487?
Yeah. Yeah, come on.
No, it's 'cause my hands are tied.

Okay, hang on.

- [SAM] It's ringing.
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
Mum? [CHUCKLES]
Yeah, it's me, Mum.
[PANTING] Mum, I'm sorry.
No, listen, you just listen to me.
[SIGHS] I might not,
uh Mum, listen
[PANTING] I might not, uh
I might not see you, Mum.
[BREATHING HEAVILY] You see,
uh, I've been hurt and, uh
Well, I'm not I'm not feeling
too good. [BREATHING SHAKILY]
You're gonna hear about it. Yeah?
But I want you to remember
something for me, okay?
None of the things that have
happened, yeah? Like we always said
None of them were ever
anything to do with you. Okay?
Did you hear what I said?
[CLICKS TONGUE] Ugh, I wish
you were too, Mum. [PANTS]
I wish you were too but you
don't want to be here, Mum.
[CHUCKLES]
Listen [SIGHS, SNIFFLES]
[SWALLOWS] You just need to
know that I love you. Okay?
I'll see you soon, Mum. Okay?
[BREATHING SHAKILY] I will.

We'll try not to, um,

[LINE DISCONNECTS]
[BELL RINGS]
So, the PM and her son are heading back
to their hotel from the White Mountains.
We're being asked to
keep the briefings coming.
Explain.
Well, nobody wants to inherit
a crisis if they don't have to.
These White Mountains,
wherever they are,
they sound like the perfect place to be.
Ah, if she's in the mountains in Crete,
she could almost see the plane fly over.
[SKYWATCH] Five minutes. Stand by.
[PHONE RINGING]
- Hey, I can't really speak right now.
- [MARSHA] It wasn't a false alarm.
It's real, Daniel.
- [DANIEL] Marsha.
- But you knew that, didn't you?
I could tell by your voice. You
knew but you kept it to yourself.
- And I'm sorry.
- Why didn't you say something?
[DANIEL] There is no
point in calling you
until we know exactly what's going on.
- How do you know?
- I got a message from the plane.
- From Sam?
- [MARSHA] No.
Yes. It was from another number,
but it was Sam speaking
with another man.
And they mentioned some names,
and they mentioned a phone number.
- Wait.
- [MARSHA] And it sounded
- [DANIEL] Sounded?
- Daniel, it sounded serious.
Okay, listen to me, Marsha.
I'm gonna need you to
send me that message.
Send me that message right now.
- I I don't know how to do that.
- I'm gonna tell you how.
[MARSHA] I don't know what's happening.
Marsha, this is the only
contact we've had from the plane.
So, this is vital. Now,
it might be a mistake
or it might be Sam trying to
communicate details, numbers.
[STAMMERS] What do
you mean "communicate"?
Marsha, this is the
man you told me about.
He's trying to sort it out.
[SHOUTING] Is there a doctor
on board? Anyone? Please!
[GROANS]
Is there a doctor or a
nurse on board, please?
[DINGS]
Don't you
I'm a doctor.
[SKYWATCH] Three minutes.
Prepare to engage.
Confirm that is the order.
[SKYWATCH] Affirmative.
That is the order.
- [DAVID] He's hardly getting any oxygen.
- [PANTING]
We're gonna need something
to pierce through his chest.
A tube, something he
can breathe through.
What about a pen?
Huh? [GRUNTS]
[SAM] Um
[LINE RINGING]
- Hello.
- [SAM] The guy in the seat behind me,
he's got a Biro.
Bring it. He's gonna stop breathing.
[SAM] 1632. Yeah? 960 487?
That's Bushey, Hertfordshire.
An L. Atterton and an S. Atterton.
[DANIEL] This is it.
This could prove this is
our problem, not Romania's.
[SKYWATCH] Two minutes.
Confirmed for weapons release.
Are you sure about this?
[SKYWATCH] Mars, you
will obey the order.
Copy that.
[PASSENGERS WHIMPER]
This is huge organized
crime, international in scale,
but all of it based here.
That's what we tell them.
These hijackers are British.
- [DARIUS] We are out of time.
- We are allies.
[DAVID] He's stopped breathing.
[DAVID GRUNTING]
[SKYWATCH] Mars. Engage.
Mars. Please confirm.
- [BEEPING]
- Weapons hot. We have lock.
[DARIUS] They're in position.
The order is about to be given.
We fire in 60 seconds.
Darius, stop. These are
confirmed British nationals.
We are the target. You are not
the target. It's not terrorism.
[DAVID BREATHING HEAVILY, GASPS]
[SAM GRUNTS]
- [BEEPING]
- [SKYWATCH] Abort. Abort. Disengage.
Copy that. Weapons cold.
Returning to base.
[LEWIS WHEEZES]
- [PANTING] Oh, shit.
- He's breathing?
He is.
- [LEWIS WHEEZES]
- Come on, mate. Okay?
Okay?
[WHEEZING]
[SIGHS]
[WHEEZES]
[SIGHS]
[SIGHS]
Hey, they've gone.
Turn around.
[PASSENGERS WHISPERING, CLAMORING]
[JADEN] Hey! Back in your seat!
- Tell them they can open the blinds.
- No!
You can open the blinds.
- Open the windows. They've gone!
- [JADEN] Do not. Do not open the blinds.
- The jets have gone. Let them see out.
- Stop!
- Keep those windows shut.
- [COLETTE] Let them see out.
- Let them see the jets have gone.
- [JADEN] Listen to me. Keep them shut!
- [COLETTE] The jets have gone.
- [PASSENGERS CLAMORING]
- [JADEN] Keep them shut! Stop!
- [COLETTE] They've gone.
[JADEN] Close the fucking blinds!
[PASSENGERS CHATTERING]
[SIGHS]
[SIGHING]
[SIGHS, SWALLOWS]
That should hold for now.
Okay.
Oh, the Wi-Fi is on, he wanted
me to help him call Elaine.
He wanted her to hear his voice.
[STAMMERS] Every son
needs their mother, right?
[MARSHA] Kai?
[DOOR CLOSES]
Kai?
Kai?
[SIGHS]
[CHATTERING]
- [PERSON] Home Secretary?
- Hmm?
- Uh, excuse me.
- No, no. It's okay. It's okay.
I look forward to speaking.
[OFFICER] Good luck with it.
[HOME SECRETARY] Thank
you. Right. Sinclair Road.
[JOURNALISTS CLAMORING]
By the way, Lang's
office just postponed.
They're offering Thursday
or the following Monday.
You know, I have half a mind to
take it out the diary completely.
This is the second time
they've done it. So unreliable.
- It's either that or wait
- Lawrence.
Get the foreign secretary
on the line, please.
Now!
